Chapter 57: Fighting the Phoenix and the Dragon
In this way, Qin Huai gasped for breath in Gu Baixiu's arms, as if the thrill of Fang Cai was still in front of her, if Gu Baixiu didn't come today, what should she do?
It turned out that Yan Xiangcheng's hatred for her had reached such a level that she even cooperated with outsiders to set up a situation, no wonder she refused to go to the meeting today.
It took a while for Qin Huai to calm down, Gu Baixiu felt the breath of the person in his arms, unconsciously reached out and hugged her, and gently patted her back.
"Bai Xiu is late, is the princess injured?"
Since Qin Huai left the mansion, he has followed him all the way, he knows that the last time the Shura Gate night attack failed, he would definitely wait for the opportunity, but he didn't expect that there would be others who would be unfavorable to the princess.
The division prohibited, unless the princess was in danger, she must not interfere in the affairs of Yunzhou at will, and she must not expose the purpose of this trip to the outside world, but if he knew that this scene was inside, he would definitely rush in immediately.
Qin Huai knew that now was not the time to be afraid, she slowly let go of Gu Baixiu and checked her hands, except for a little bit of flesh cut by the fragments of the vase, there was no big problem.
"I'm fine, what about the people outside? Did you see you coming in? ”
"I'm stunned."
Gu Baixiu opened the door a crack, and was relieved to see that there were still no outsiders breaking in.
Qin Huai also turned around and sorted out his slightly messy clothes, looking at the mess in the house, and did not forget the man lying on the ground who wanted to despise her.
If she had let this gangster be divided into corpses in the past, but now in this case, Cao Yingying deliberately wanted to harm her, no matter what she said, no one could prove that she was telling the truth, and maybe she would be charged with hurting someone by mistake.
Listening to this person's tone just now, he should also be a famous family, if something really happens to her head, and her identity is exposed, it may even affect the Yan family, she must handle it carefully.
Seeing Qin Huai's thoughtful appearance, Gu Baixiu understood, stepped over and probed the snort of the man on the ground.
"I've fainted, do you want to kill him?"
Gu Baixiu would never kill someone at an extraordinary moment, but this person made a mistake just now, and if his junior sister was present, he wouldn't be soft-hearted......
While Gu Baixiu was making a judgment, Qin Huai was also secretly deciding.
Kill him?
Qin Huai wanted to kill him, but if he really died, things would be complicated.
If he is alive, he must not dare to say that Qin Huai smashed him in order to protect himself, otherwise he will not be able to explain the crime of adultery, it is better to spare him from death and let him clean up the aftermath.
"Spare his life for now, let's get out of here."
Since such a bureau has been set up, according to Yan Xiangcheng's temper, Qin Huai will definitely be ruined, and he is afraid that Cao Yingying will bring someone to catch the traitor for a while, and it will be difficult to get out if he really bumps into it.
Gu Baixiu pushed open the door and stretched out his hand towards Qin Huai, intending to take her back with light skills.
Qin Huai hesitated in her heart, if she walked out in a bright way, Cao Yingying's eyeliner was indispensable along the way, if she was discovered by her people, she would definitely doubt whether this man would succeed......
But if she didn't say goodbye, Yan Biyu would be suspicious if she couldn't find her.
"Let's go out of the house first, don't alarm others, and talk to the coachman after finding the Yan family's carriage, so as to give Yan Biyu a wake-up call."
She straightened the hairpin on her head in front of the mirror, looking the same as Fang Cai, and then followed Gu Baixiu out of Cao's mansion. Thinking of what Luo Nanqing said just now after he was drunk, Qin Huai only hated himself for being too light, and gave Yan Xiangcheng a chance to breathe.
In the process of vacating the air, Qin Huai saw two or three people in the distance coming in this direction, but fortunately they were walking fast.
The Lake Pavilion was still very lively, and everyone was indulged in dance and music, not realizing that such a big movement had taken place in the backyard.
Falling in the corner of the back door of Cao's mansion, Qin Huai instructed the coachman a few words, asking him to go in for a while and tell Yan Biyu that he was unwell and walk back first, and let Yan Biyu take the carriage back by herself for a while.
The coachman wanted to see him off, but Qin Huai insisted on refusing, so the coachman gave up and asked Qin Huai to be careful on the road.
At the corner of the alley, Gu Baixiu was waiting, and Qin Huai unconsciously took his hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you know I'm in danger?"
She often felt that Gu Baixiu was like a trap, able to anticipate her danger, take action at critical times, and always stand by her side when she needed him the most.
If only it could be like this forever.
Gu Baixiu had no intention of resisting, and was obediently held by Qin Huai. "I didn't know, I was just worried about the princess's safety, so I followed."
"If it weren't for you, I don't know what it would be like today."
Qin Huai nodded, she hadn't walked in the sub-market for too long, she hadn't crossed the lively streets for too long, and she had never traveled as an ordinary person.
She has enjoyed the identity of Princess Tianyu all the time, and she has always exercised the rights of Princess Tianyu. But now walking hand in hand with Gu Baixiu is more comfortable than usual.
On the other hand, looking at Gu Baixiu, he thought very seriously for a while, and only said eight words.
"Princess Jiren has her own natural appearance."
Qin Huai was not satisfied with this, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "When will you also learn to say these scenes?" ”
"I ......"
Knowing that asking him to say something special was embarrassing him, Qin Huai gave up and stopped.
"Gu Baixiu, thank you, I still have your help when I am down."
Falling into the clouds and thousands of miles away from home, Qin Huai didn't expect her to be in this situation, and the person she could trust around her turned out to be Gu Baixiu, who had only known each other for less than two months.
Gu Baixiu smiled slightly after hearing this, and didn't answer, Qin Huai didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, was his words of thanks insignificant to him at all?
But it doesn't matter, Qin Huai only knows Gu Baixiu at this moment, and when he laughs, he really looks good.
Stopped and returned to the door of the Yan family, but found that the surroundings of the Yan family had already been surrounded by people from the government, and the government had come to the door twice in just a few days, and there were many people who watched the excitement pointing at the Yan family.
"That person even dared to report to the official?"
After mixing in the crowd and taking a closer look, Qin Huai found that it was not so simple, in addition to the people from the official mansion, there were people from other places, and those people were still wearing colorful armor, and they didn't look like the guards of Yunzhou.
"You hide first, I'll go back and see the situation myself."
Qin Huai knew that Gu Baixiu couldn't reveal his identity at this time, and he didn't know how Cao Yingying planned with Yan Xiangcheng in this matter.
Now there is a lot of danger, if she is really caught, she will have to rely on Gu Baixiu to save her.
In order not to make people suspicious, Qin Huai stood outside the gate of the Yan Mansion and stopped the housekeeper Qian who was circling at the door.
"Steward Qian, what's the matter, there's a guest in the house?"
Steward Qian leaned over with a worried expression, and was relieved to see Qin Huai come back safely. He hurriedly trotted out, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took Qin Huai to the back of the tree before he dared to speak.
"Miss Table! You can come back, these people are all here to find you, what did you do to offend Dong County Gong! ”
County Princess?
What is this, Qin Huai has never heard of it.
Seeing Qin Huai's uncertain look, Steward Qian could only explain one or two to her in a whisper.
"Dong County Gong is the father of Concubine Dong in the concubine of the dynasty!"
Dong Concubine...... She is familiar with this woman, isn't she the woman who only cooks lotus seed soup all year round? She actually has a father who works as a county magistrate in Yunzhou?
"But what does that have to do with me?"
Steward Qian was completely anxious, pulled Qin Huai's back and deliberately lowered his voice.
"Dong Ji, the son of Dong County Gong, was plotted in Cao Mansion today, and he is still unconscious! There are very few people who go to the Chamber of Commerce today to see Dong Gongzi, Miss Cao said that almost everyone is in the banquet, only you disappeared early in the morning, and then you found the Yan Mansion, and the eldest lady and a group of noble ladies are still detained in the Cao Mansion at this time. ”
Sure enough, Cao Yingying, a woman, is really a good sister of Yan Makeup, and she has achieved such a situation.
"I left the Cao Mansion first, I should be the most innocent person, why did they come to look for me?"
It's really strange that a county magistrate has so much power that he dares to search the city lord's mansion.
No wonder Yan Biyu wanted to choose the person with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, did she expect that no matter what Qin Huai did, she would not be able to escape this catastrophe?
"Miss Cousin, calm down first, the master has been invited to the yamen, and the second lady is talking to the guards who came inside. These days, the old slave can also see through, your identity can't be said, but you can't be implicated in this matter, think of a way. ”
Steward Qian took advantage of this stall to report to Qin Huai first, and briefly explained the reason, but he didn't dare to discuss what should be done.
"What else can be done about this, those who clean themselves up, let them investigate."
Qin Huai is weak-hearted, but she also believes that before Dong Ji wakes up, there is no physical evidence to identify, then she is safe. A small county duke, you can't reverse right and wrong.
Besides...... Zuo is just explaining her identity, she doesn't believe it, someone dares to touch her, the princess of the dynasty!
"Dong Xiangong was originally in Huaizhou, but somehow, three years ago suddenly moved to Yunzhou to live, he relied on his daughter to be a concubine in the court, and he had a small army, so he ran rampant in Yunzhou City. His son is not a good bird, and the nobles of Yunzhou are all walking around him, who ......are you?"
Qin Huai probably knew what position this county prince was in Yunzhou, and also understood how far he could direct the government to do with his position.
"Steward Qian, since this is something I will naturally settle, don't worry, let's go in and ask together."
She calmed down and strode into the mansion, just as she happened to bump into Yan Cheng, who was walking with a man in military uniform.
"Chief, the man you're looking for is here."
Yan Xiangcheng was calm and calm, staring at Qin Huai without any emotional fluctuations, as if he didn't know anything about everything, just an outsider who was deep in the boudoir and was pitiful.
"Dare to ask Miss Bai Mingyue?"
The man in the military uniform has a hooked nose and big thick eyebrows, looks burly and powerful, and when he asks questions, he seems to be pressuring.
Qin Huai's hands were clenched under his sleeves, his gaze moved to the man's saber, and he nodded while asking, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
"Ye Qi under the command of Dong County, can Miss recognize who my son-in-law is?"
Ye Qi's eyes were on Qin Huai from the beginning, and he never let go of his vigilance for a moment.
"I don't recognize it." Qin Huai did not show the slightest panic and denied it.
Ye Qi didn't believe her words, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist and raised it to a height that everyone could see.
"And how do you explain the cut on the vase on your hand?"
Qin Huai's heart rose to his throat, what kind of devil is this person, can he even count this?
At this time, she can't be cheated out of something like this, Qin Huai tried hard to retract the wrist that was trapped, but this person didn't let go, his strength was amazing, and he had no intention of withdrawing, so she could only explain casually.
"This is just an accidental scratch, how can it be said that it was cut by a vase?"
Obviously, Ye Qi already had his own thoughts, he frowned and stared at Qin Huai's eyes, this expression seemed to be a kind of disgust, as if he hated himself very much when he just met.
"Unintentionally? Miss Bai forgot, so can this remind you of something. ”
As he spoke, Ye Qi raised his other hand, and in his hand was a blood-colored vase fragment.
