Chapter 196: Who to Protect

Xu Xiangjin watched Zhan Qing dragging his sword, approaching Qin Duyu who was almost unable to move step by step, his whole body exuded killing intent, there was no doubt that as long as he took a few steps closer, Qin Duyu's life would be over.

His task has not been completed, and this task not only needs the person who is being tackled by himself, but also the person who is cuckolded must exist, otherwise this task will not be meaningless, that is to say, neither of the two people present now can die.

But she couldn't imagine anyone who could stop Zhan Qing, so in desperation, she could only rush over and block between the two people.

"My lord, you can't kill him, you've taught him a lesson anyway, haven't you, and he's injured now, and he doesn't have the slightest power to fight back, but I beg you, he hasn't touched me at all, for my sake, you can let him go."

Zhan Qing was already in a state of anger, but Xu Xiangjin's move made him even more murderous.

"Xu Xiangjin, I worked so hard to save you, but you actually protected him and got out of the way, otherwise I will kill you together."

Xu Xiangjin felt goosebumps all over his body, and his whole body trembled with fright, and in a hurry, he picked up the knife that Qin Duyu threw on the ground and put it on his neck, "My lord, I know you won't hurt me, I have my own troubles, I just beg you not to kill him, at least don't kill him now, I beg you." ”

Zhan Qing obviously saw that Xu Xiangjin's hand was shaking, for fear that she would be careless and really cut a wound on his neck, so he could only endure not to take a step forward, grind his teeth, and throw the sword in his hand on the ground.

"Xu Xiangjin, you are so good, I should not have come to save you if I knew this was the case."

"I'm sorry sir, I'll ask you for guilt soon, but now I have to send him back, I really can't let him die, otherwise I'll be finished, my lord, please, just let him go this time, it can be regarded as helping me."

She had no way to explain the truth of the matter to Zhan Qing, so she could only try her best to tell him that not to kill Qin Duyu was purely for herself.

Xu Xiangjin had already threatened with his own life, even if Zhan Qing was dissatisfied, he could only watch them leave, and he was afraid that Xu Xiangjin would work too hard with an injured person, so he even gritted his teeth and arranged a carriage for them, of course, the axle of the carriage arranged was not very good, but it was a bumpy road.

Fortunately, the place chosen by Qin Duyu was not too far, plus they were in a carriage, they soon arrived at the General's Mansion, although Xu Xiangjin arranged him to a grandmother, he thought about going to Zhan Qing to ask for guilt quickly, if he didn't care about himself because he was angry with himself, wouldn't the task in the future be more difficult to do?

But she had just rushed out of the gate of the General's Mansion with her skirt, but was blocked by a little girl who suddenly appeared, and if he hadn't braked in time, the two of them would have completely collided together.

"This girl, why don't you look at the road well, you..."

She just wanted to scold a few words, but suddenly felt that the girl in front of her had a familiar face, but she really couldn't remember what her name was, "How do I think you are a little familiar, what is your name?" ”

"Back to the second miss, the slave maid is called Hongping, she is the maid under the eldest lady, the eldest lady asked me to take you back to Xu's house quickly, there is a very urgent matter at home, I have been waiting for the second miss here for a long time, the second miss should go back with me."

Xu Xiangjin subconsciously hid back, you must know that Xu Xiangning has been in Qin Duyu's backyard for a long time now, and she has learned more and more tricks from that kind of palace fight, and people are becoming more and more ruthless, she has already suffered several secret losses from him, and she can't help but remember it for a long time.

"If you want to go back to Xu's house, it should be my father who came to find someone to take me back, when will it be her turn to find me, to put it bluntly, I don't trust you, you go to the side, I still have something to do."

Hongping didn't expect Xu Xiangjin to refuse so simply, she was so anxious that her eyes were about to turn red, and she stopped Xu Xiangjin from letting her go.

"Second Miss, I beg you, something really happened at home, and now only you can help, the eldest sister is already married, and she really has no right to help the family, so in desperation, I can only let me block you here, Second Miss can't see death without helping."

has already used the word "death and no salvation", it seems that the matter is really serious, although Xu Xiangning is not very good, but in the end it is still filial piety, it seems that something unsolvable has really happened on the old man's side.

It stands to reason that since she is a person sent by Xu Xiangning, she should be able to hide as far as she wants, but after all, the group of people in the Xu family is a family member of the original personality, and she can't be so irresponsible wearing someone else's shell.

"Can you make it clear to me, don't give me some credibility, just talk so much, how can I trust you? After all, your master's criminal record is too much, and I have to guard against it. ”

In fact, it's nothing to go back with her, after all, all the way is on the road, and there are people coming and going, plus even if you don't want to see her, but after all, she is the father of the original personality, and it will not hurt her.

"The slave doesn't know the specific situation, I only know that the eldest lady has been crying, and then don't let me take you back to the Xu family, say yes, the emperor... Anyway, you better go back with me first. ”

Xu Xiangjin knew that people in ancient times respected the emperor very much, and every time he mentioned it, he would subconsciously bow to the east, and now he dare not easily mention the emperor.

Xu Xiangjin narrowed her eyes and realized that things really didn't seem so simple, so she waved her hand and asked her to lead the way in front.

Under normal circumstances, the Xu family is also the official eunuch's house, so there will always be a few family members guarding the door, and the door will not be closed easily, but this time she went, not only was the family gone, but both the side door and the main door were tightly closed, and the red screen still deliberately took her to sneak in through the back door.

Although the population of the Xu family is not too much, because of the maids up and down, the family members add up, there are a lot of people, and when she was in the past, she could always see people walking around, but now she has been in for a while, and she hasn't even seen a single figure. stopped the red screen in front of him.

"Red screen, where did everyone in this family go, I've been back for a while, and no one came out to greet me, why do you have to take me through the back door, can't I go through the front door with a second sister?"

Hongping stopped suddenly, looking a little overwhelmed, "It's all Hongping's fault, Hongping just doesn't know how to talk to the second lady, the lord and the lady were actually taken away by the emperor." ”

As if he was afraid of being heard, the red screen suddenly lowered his voice, "During the day, the emperor suddenly sent someone to summon the second lady into the palace, but the second lady hasn't been home for a long time, where does the old lady know where you are, but you can't hand over people, there is no way to explain to the emperor, the emperor was angry, and he arrested all the old and young in the family in prison, and now only the second young lady can help everyone." ”

The emperor knew that he would definitely not be in the Xu family, and suddenly he made such a move, obviously trying to force her out, if she really went, wouldn't it be the emperor's trap, and his dignified emperor should not kill his minister for a woman, so he simply didn't want to care, thinking about how long everyone could hold back.

"The red screen is right, I think you should also know very well, my father, and those stepmothers, what is the usual attitude towards me, it is not a simple matter to go to the emperor to ask for someone, the emperor should not kill them, at most let them live in prison for a while, you go back and tell your eldest lady, just let her wait, don't trouble me again."

If the emperor really deliberately lured herself out, wouldn't it be very dangerous for her to stay in the Xu family now, Xu Xiangjin hurriedly wanted to go back the same way, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly couldn't control his legs.

"Please help my family, although they are not too good to me, but after all, they are also my father, when my mother was a child, he still hurt me, he is so old, I don't want him to suffer anymore, now my body is with you, and only you can help me, I beg you."

said that she was begging, but she didn't have the slightest attitude of begging, she completely controlled her actions, Xu Xiangjin could even feel that if she rejected her, the original personality would probably control her body to the palace, rather than being so passive, in case she couldn't control what she shouldn't say in front of the emperor, it was better to dispel her thoughts now, and don't let her make things bigger.

This time it was unexpectedly easy to enter the palace, and the emperor seemed to have expected her to come back, so he asked everyone to leave her door.

Xu Xiangjin went all the way to the imperial study, easily broke in, and saw the emperor drinking tea leisurely inside.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean, why did you arrest my family, what mistakes did they make, Xiaozhuang people have a reason anyway, you are not afraid of the world's jokes when you do this."

The emperor slowly took a sip of tea, and didn't even look at Xu Xiangjin, "I let my subordinates do it secretly, not many people will know about it at all, not to mention that I am the emperor, and how many people dare to laugh at me, but you, so blatantly dare to break into the palace, aren't you afraid that I will cut off your head in anger?" ”

Xu Xiangjin didn't care whether he was paying it back or not, and sneered without giving face, "If it wasn't for the right of way given by His Majesty, how could I have broken in, Your Majesty wouldn't have sold it, and it took so much effort to force me over, what is the matter?" ”
