Chapter 038: Discovering the Secret
Kindness didn't save her, and the world wouldn't really treat kind people well.
Since that day in the palace, hearing Liu Thrush's sarcasm about the Long family, seeing Xiao Rui's unkindness, and tasting the taste of poison, Xiao Qi swore that if there is an afterlife, he must not continue to be stupid.
has no ability to survive, just like this humble Hunan slave, even if he is burly and strong, he can only be tied to the stage and sold by others, like fish and meat.
If you don't have the power to be feared, you will be like the Long family, after being stripped of military power, you were brutalized by the right prime minister Nangong Sheng and Xiao Rui, and your father's spiritual power was exhausted, and he had to bear the charge of betraying the Chu state-owned enterprises and plotting rebellion.
There is no force that cannot be despised by people, and he will be like Brother Long Si, who has been poisoned by cold poison for several years, and has to be locked in an extremely cold water prison, enduring the suffering of extreme cold every day. Even Liu Thrush, such a weak and vicious woman, can kill his wife and children.
The painful experience told Xiao Qi that she had to be a villain, but she also knew that she couldn't blindly be vicious, and she should keep the bottom line that her father gave her.
Only in this way, when encountering danger, can she protect the people she really wants to protect.
The sturdy Hunan slave was finally brought home by a woman. The crowd dispersed, and when Xiao Qi saw him hanging up his shackles, there was no wave on his dark face.
Perhaps, he has already resigned himself to his fate.
But she wouldn't.
"How much is this hairpin. ”
Xiao Qi turned around and asked.
The stall owner who bought the jewelry smiled: "The girl is really discerning, and she saw the latest style of the store at once, and even Mei Ji Niangniang likes this style very much." If the girl buys it, I'll give you a cheaper price, and I'll open it early this morning to give it a good omen. ”
The stall owner was very good at talking, and picked up the hairpin to wrap her. Xiao Qi took the hairpin and inserted it directly between the buns.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Xiao Qi smiled shallowly.
In the praise of the stall owner, she had a comprehensive plan for her future for the first time.
In order not to be discovered by the queen and the guards around her, Xiao Qi followed the queen and Yu Ji after they left the palace for a long time. Now the other party is sitting in a carriage, but Xiao Qi is on foot, and it is really troublesome to catch up.
The current Xiao Qi used the body of a woman who was powerless, and after running for a while, she couldn't help but panting.
Leaning against the corner, Xiao Qi gasped violently for a while.
Her body was too weak, she was trapped in the palace before, either in the slave house, or walking in the corner of the Kunling Hall or Fengtian Pavilion, and her body was even weaker.
Such a body, not to mention spiritual power, is difficult to complete even ordinary large-scale movements.
After only a few blocks, Xiao Qi couldn't walk anymore.
She was very worried, the carriage and horses had already left the city, you know, there were few people outside the city, and the guards were all experienced in battles, and their vigilance was very high. She has no spiritual power, and if she rashly follows behind, she will definitely be discovered.
Xiao Qi was a little frustrated.
She, like Mei Ji, is suspicious of the queen's departure from the palace.
If she is in the city, she can still observe from the sidelines, but now it seems that there is no chance.
Just as Xiao Qi was thinking about how to explain to Mei Ji, suddenly, a carriage stopped at the corner of the street not far away, and then, a familiar figure walked down from the car.
The man was dressed in a silver robe, and the silk was thin and shining, shining in the sun. The hair is neatly combed at the back of the head, and the headband on the head, the clear spirit jade is very good-looking.
In front of him, he looks like the son of a rich family.
It's just that with her blown-up skin and overly elegant manners, people can see at a glance that she is not a son, but a woman with a good face.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she went to help the other person in the carriage.
This posture exposed her entire face to Xiao Qi's eyes.
Really.
"Queen......
Xiao Qi's body trembled, and he quickly hid behind a stall.
The one who can support the queen......
The person in front of him slowly walked out of the carriage, exactly the same as Xiao Qi guessed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Yi.
Breathing couldn't help but pause.
Xiao Yi should have been seriously ill in bed, unable to get out of bed, and unable to manage politics, but now, the version she saw was that Xiao Yi was like a normal person, walking in the downtown area, without the slightest sign of being poisoned and seriously ill.
This confirmed the incomprehension in her heart.
It turns out that it's all fake.
However, thinking about it the other way, this is even more inexplicable, since Xiao Yi is not sick, why did he go to Dachu to ask for an imperial doctor and make the saint unhappy.
Intuition told Xiao Qi that there must be a deeper reason for this.
Her palms began to sweat.
was originally a pool of stagnant water, but it seems that there has been a great turn for the better in an instant.
This is also her turning point.
The two men stepped out of the carriage and walked quickly into a small shop at the end of the alley without stopping too long.
Xiao Qi followed, looked up, and found that the small shop in front of him was not an ordinary store, but the famous Wanhua/Lou in Duanguo.
Xiao Qi opened his mouth, extremely shocked.
How could Xiao Yi secretly come to Wanhua/Lou and take the queen with him?
But such an unbelievable thing happened in front of Xiao Qi's eyes.
Xiao Qi's curiosity was fully mobilized.
I didn't care about anything, and went directly to the back door of Wanhua/Lou.
The queen suddenly said that she was going out of the palace, probably to cover for Xiao Yi. The two of them went out of the palace in secret, and went to this place to look for flowers and willows in secret, there must be something very important that could not be solved in the palace, so they found this place that ordinary people could not think of.
Thinking like this, Xiao Qi was very excited.
Even if there is a lot of danger in this, she must know the secret of Xiao Yi and the queen today.
Xiao Yi and the queen were very cautious, and the people they brought were all outside, completely scanning the surrounding situation. The two of them made sure that no one was staring, and then quickly walked inside.
At the same time, Xiao Qi also arrived at the back door of Wanhua/Lou.
A few biao men in the backyard were playing cards, and when they saw Xiao Qi timidly walking in, they immediately shouted: "Little girl over there, what are you doing, do you know what kind of place this is, just enter casually, I can tell you, this is not a good family girl can enter, go and go, where you are comfortable, stay where you are comfortable." ”
Of course, Xiao Qi knows that this is not a place where only women from good families can come.
If she had enough time, she would have changed into a man's clothes like the queen and entered through the main entrance, so that she would not be so eye-catching.
However, she was really worried that if she lost them, she would never find them again, so she had to break through the back door.
"Hey, hey, a few big brothers, they're all open to do business, how can they be funny. I'm here to do business, not to smash the store. ”
"Doing business?"
One of the sturdy men laughed a few times: "What kind of business can you do with your little arms and legs." I'm afraid that the bones have been removed, and there are no two taels of meat. It's very strange, it's usually twisted and delivered, and there is one that is delivered to the door by itself. ”
