Cheng Xiaoyan escaped from the secret passage, but found that she was in a courtyard in the city, she quickly tidied up her dress, hung her head and walked out of the back door, she was wearing extremely simple clothes, and a delicate face was also covered with stains because she walked out of the secret passage, just like a very ordinary woman.

She passed by a teahouse, but stopped, and the people in the teahouse were talking about the Cheng family.

"The Cheng family is really bold, they dare to assassinate the emperor! This is a great sin of the Nine Clans! ”

"The Nine Clans?" One person said disdainfully: "I heard that the emperor just killed all the direct members of the Cheng family this time, and those married women were not affected, but they just went back to their parents' house." ”

Cheng Xiaoyan walked forward numbly, she hugged herself tightly, only to feel a little cold, obviously it was not winter yet, and she was wearing a lot of clothes, but at this time, she felt the cold.

The conversation on the side continued, she no longer had the desire to listen, she hugged herself tightly, and walked towards the Cheng family's mansion in small steps.

At this time, a lot of people gathered around the Cheng family, and Cheng Xiaoyan was not eye-catching in this group of people.

The plaque at the gate of the originally magnificent Cheng family has been taken off, and suppressed cries and screams came from the house, Cheng Xiaoyan heard it, it was the voice of her eldest aunt.

She shrunk her neck, and suddenly a chill felt in her heart. She could only hold the small jade pendant in her palm to feel a trace of warmth from it.

Just when Cheng Xiaoyan was in a fugue, she was suddenly patted on the back, and the hairs on her body stood up, and she hurriedly looked at the person who came, but she met a pair of very bright big eyes.

"You ......"

Before Cheng Xiaoyan could speak, she was pulled by this person and ran to the alley on the side, where a carriage was parked.

"Princess Qin."

The person who came was Hu Yanqin.

Hu Yanqin was looking at Cheng Xiaoyan with a pair of eyes full of autumn water at this time, Cheng Xiaoyan was a little puzzled when she saw this, and at the same time she was still a little flustered, and only said: "Princess Qin, for the sake of you and I have known each other, you should not see me, okay?" ”

Cheng Xiaoyan knew that she couldn't die, at least not at the hands of officers and soldiers, she clenched the jade pendant in her hand, but kept thinking, how could she get out of here?

Hu Yanqin didn't speak, she had a kind smile on her face, but Yun Yi on the side was dissatisfied: "My princess knows that the Cheng family has been raided, and the eldest lady of the Cheng family has escaped, and she came here to wait for you, if you want to arrest you and ask for merit in front of the emperor, how can you still talk here at this moment?" ”

Yunyi was very dissatisfied with Cheng Xiaoyan's statement, and said with a cold face.

"Yunyi!"

Hu Yanqin glanced at Yun Yi warningly, and after seeing this, Yun Yi closed his mouth angrily.

Cheng Xiaoyan knew that she had misunderstood Hu Yanqin, her face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and she whispered: "I'm sorry, I ......"

In fact, Cheng Xiaoyan called out

Yanqin's senses are not bad, she knows that Hu Yanqin is an extremely simple little girl, and she can still run over to save herself now, it is really ......

"You don't need to say sorry." Hu Yanqin's voice was gentle, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, several years younger than Cheng Xiaoyan, but now she was comforting Cheng Xiaoyan seriously, and Cheng Xiaoyan was a little moved.

"How did you know I was coming?"

Cheng Xiaoyan looked at Hu Yanqin and said.

Hu Yanqin had a smile on her face, and she said slyly: "I know that even if Sister Cheng escapes, she will be reluctant to let her family go, so I came here to guard you." ”

Hearing the word family, Cheng Xiaoyan crossed two lines of tears on her face, her family members are now all dead at the hands of the emperor! Grandfather has worked hard for the Chu State for so many years, but he only ended up like this!

When Hu Yanqin saw Cheng Xiaoyan crying, he was anxious, and said comfortingly: "Sister Cheng, don't cry, if you cry, Lord Cheng will also be sad." ”

After hearing this, there were even more tears on Cheng Xiaoyan's face, until the last moment, her grandfather and husband were still thinking about themselves, in fact, they still had their own in their hearts, but now, it is too late to say anything!

She shook her head, barely smiled, and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little sad." ”

"Sister Cheng, you have nowhere to go now, so it's better to stay with me."

"No!"

Before Cheng Xiaoyan could speak, Yun Yi immediately said: "Miss Cheng is not as good as before, the Proton Mansion is full of the emperor's spies, if the princess rashly brings Miss Cheng into the Proton Mansion, it will be all of us who will be implicated." ”

Yun Yi's words were very ruthless, she was talking coldly at the moment, her eyes were like a sharp sword, staring at Cheng Xiaoyan deadly.

Cheng Xiaoyan was still thinking about where she should go at this time, but after Hu Yanqin said this, she was moved, she wanted to take revenge on Xiao Yechen, but as an emperor, how could Xiao Yechen appear in the market? Therefore, Proton Mansion is an excellent place, not to mention that there is Hu Yanqin here.

Hu Yanqin trusts herself, and she can live a better life, but this maid beside her......

Cheng Xiaoyan thought of a solution after just a moment, and she was embarrassed: "Yunyi is right, if I go to the Proton Mansion with you, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble." ”

Hu Yanqin heard Cheng Xiaoyan's aggrieved words, and felt pity in his heart, and said almost immediately: "Sister Cheng, what are you talking about!" Don't worry, I remember all the kindness you were to me before, and I will never let you be wronged this time! ”

Saying that, she looked at Yun Yi again, and said in a low voice: "Yun Yi, Sister Cheng's family is already ruined, except for me, but no one can help her anymore?" ”

"Princess, it's none of your business!" Yun Yi's indifferent expression on his face remained unchanged, "Miss Cheng is going to commit a crime, if you hide her by your side, once someone finds out, you don't want this human head." ”

"But ......" Hu Yanqin was dripping, eyes

The tears were about to overflow, she stared at Yun Yi, and said bitterly: "I only have this one friend in the Chu State." ”

In fact, Hu Yanqin knew very well in his heart that it was not as difficult as Yun Yi said to hide Cheng Xiaoyan. There will be no outsiders in the Proton Mansion, and only these few people will serve them closely, all of whom are cronies, and they will never tell Cheng Xiaoyan's location.

When Yun Yi saw this, she knew that what she said had no effect on Hu Yanqin, and she didn't want to be estranged from Hu Yanqin in this matter, so she said: "Since this is the case, then you have to wronged Miss Cheng." I can only arrange the identity of a maid for you, and in the Proton Mansion, you are not the eldest lady of the Cheng family before. ”

Cheng Xiaoyan never thought that this matter would be so easy, she was a little surprised for a while, but she responded very obediently: "As long as I have a place to live, I will be satisfied." ”
