Chapter 31: Saving the Lady
After Qingyan knew what the county lord of Ningzhu and the county lord of Changping were going to do, Qingyan couldn't wait to faint at that time, but he couldn't faint, so he had to help.
When the three of them returned to the main hall, the palace banquet had already dispersed, the people of the Hou Mansion had already left, Qingyan looked at the sky speechlessly, the eldest lady didn't wait for herself, and the dear father didn't wait for herself, looked at the two county lords on the side, and smiled helplessly, and the smile clearly said, I want to rub the car These words.
The carriage rushed forward, out of the fork not far from the palace gate, two luxurious carriages stopped, Qingyan sat in the carriage of the lord of Ningzhu and said goodbye to the lord of Changping, and saw the carriage of the lord of Changping go away, and the coachman raised the whip again.
"Sister Qingyan, Tong'er will send you back to the Hou Mansion first."
"Thank you, Lord Shire."
"Don't call me the county lord in the future, you can call me Tong'er or Ningzhu."
"Okay."
The two were chatting pleasantly, when a chaotic voice came into the carriage, and the coachman's voice sounded in the silent night, "There is a fight in front of the county lord, and the slave will change the way." ”
Hearing this, the lord of Ningzhu County lifted the curtain of the car, and looked out with his big curious eyes, but he didn't care, the carriage was shattered, and a gorgeously dressed noblewoman was surrounded by a man in black, and there were corpses on the ground, and there were few people left on the lady's side.
Lord Ningzhu exclaimed, "It's the Seventh Uncle." Then he rushed out of the carriage.
Qing Yan was helpless when he saw this, and secretly despised the county lord of Ningzhu, what is the use of your three-legged cat's kung fu, it is slower than others to escape.
Qingyan has been full of confidence in his kung fu to run away since he visited Prince Jin's mansion that night and successfully escaped under Xiao Heng's men.
Lord Ningzhu was her first friend in this world, and when she saw him rushing out, she couldn't sit in the carriage with peace of mind.
When Qingyan got out of the carriage, he saw the Lord of Ningzhu County injured and fell to the ground, and the leader of the men in black was heading towards the noble lady in the middle of the road.
said that it was too late, Qingyan leaned over, and in a moment, he took the noble lady back two steps, turned his body, and his right hand came out of his palm, facing the leader of the man in black.
The leader of the man in black only wanted to capture this noble lady alive, and he didn't want to slap her to death, so he only used three successful forces, but he didn't expect Qingyan to kill halfway, Qingyan used all his strength, and the man in black didn't have time to dodge, so he took Qingyan's palm.
The man in black took a few steps back, before he could stabilize his body, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and all the men in black did not dare to act rashly when they saw that the leader was injured, and the lord of Ningzhu County took the opportunity to get up from the ground and protect the noble lady with Qingyan left and right.
A shout came from the night sky, "Who dares to intercept and kill Prince and Princess Jin." As soon as the voice fell, several black-clothed secret guards instantly descended from the sky, protecting the three of them in the center.
Seeing that the situation had changed rapidly, the man in black assassin said to retreat, and wanted to leave.
In the dark night, the voice of the hellish Shura sounded, "All of them are strangled, and no one is left." ”
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Qingyan and Ningzhu County Lord Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and Ningzhu County Lord said a little anxiously at this time: "Sister Qingyan, are you okay?" ”
Qingyan smiled, "I'm fine." ”
Instead, the two of them looked at the noble lady in the middle, and at this time, a black-clothed secret guard stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to plead guiltily: "The subordinates are too late, so the princess is frightened." ”
A soft and pleasant voice mixed with a hint of panic sounded, "I'm fine, get up, thanks to Ning Zhu and this girl." ”
Qingyan looked at the Prince and Princess Jin who came over, and said in her heart that this noble lady was the Prince and Princess Jin, and she was really related to the Prince Jin Mansion.
Seeing that Qingyan seemed to be in a fugue, Prince Jin called out softly, "I don't know who this girl is?" ”
Qingyan felt a little rude when he returned to his senses, so he saluted and said: "Lin Qingyan, the daughter of the courtier Yong'an Hou, has seen the princess. ”
The words fell Prince Jin and Princess Jin chuckled, "The Marquis of Yong'an taught a pair of outstanding children, the eldest prince of the house saved the son, and today the girl saved the concubine." ”
Hearing this, Qingyan was slightly embarrassed, he was a coincidence, and he didn't dare to take credit, so he said: "The princess has won the award." ”
The princess patted Qingyan's hand with a smile, and ordered, "Wei Yan sent someone to escort Lord Ningzhu and Miss Lin." ”
In front of the gate of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, Qingyan knocked on the gate again.
The door of the Hou Mansion creaked open, and Qing Yan didn't return, he stepped in directly and told Xiao Si to close the door.
Entering the Hou Mansion, Qingyan said in his heart that the atmosphere was the same as he imagined, the silence on the eve of the storm, and the next moment I am afraid that people who denounce him will emerge from all directions.
Qingyan smiled self-deprecatingly, the life of the ancient concubine was really not good, after sighing, Qingyan asked the maid beside her: "The Hou Ye and the eldest lady have all returned to the house." ”
The little maid replied in a slightly sad voice: "The eldest lady and the girls have returned home, and they are in Songtao Garden at the moment." ”
The corners of Qingyan's mouth sneered slightly, is this waiting for himself to come back in Songtao Yuan and punish himself? In the middle of the night, everyone waited, it was really their own sin, and they smiled self-deprecatingly, and went straight to Songtao Garden.
In the Songtao courtyard, the maids and mothers are all in the courtyard, and none of them go to sleep, Qingyan sneered, is he going to kill himself if he works so hard?
Stepping over the magpie Dengmei folding branch screen, I saw the old lady sitting on the top, with a solemn face, and the big lady and the girls at the bottom were all not good-looking, and they came forward with a clear face and saluted.
"Qingyan greets grandmother, greets mother."
The old lady did not speak, and waved her hand to signal Qingyan to get up.
"Get on your knees!" A shout came, and Qingyan followed the prestige, only to see the gloomy face of the eldest lady, which became hideous at this moment.
Qingyan knelt down according to his words and said: "Grandmother, Qingyan was kidnapped at the palace banquet and failed to return home in time, which was not Qingyan's original intention, however, it was Qingyan's unfilial piety to make my grandmother worry. ”
The old lady seemed to be completely distracted from Qingyan, and said, "Get up." ”
The eldest lady showed disapproval on her face when she heard this, and said: "Mother, Yan'er, she can only return to the house late at night, if she is not punished, the girls in the house will do the same in the future, but how can it be good?" ”
"Mother's words, Qingyan didn't dare to agree, Qingyan was pulled away by the lord of Ningzhu, when she returned to the main hall, her mother had left, Qingyan was very aggrieved in her heart, she didn't see the car when she left the palace, Qingyan tried to go back to the house by herself, but she didn't expect that after returning home, her mother would punish Qingyan." Qingyan looks straightforward, where can I see that I have been wronged.
The eldest lady was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and she adjusted her emotions slightly and said, "Mother is also thinking about the Hou Mansion and has to punish you." ”
Qing Yan sneered in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "If today's incident happened to the fifth sister, will the mother punish the fifth sister in the same way?" ”
The eldest lady choked in her throat and wanted to answer yes, but she was afraid that she would be honest and forbearant, in case Xin'er returned late for some reason in the future......
