On the other side, when she arrived at the cell where the maidservant was staying, she was seen twitching and curled up to the side.

Qi Shan motioned for the yacha to open the prison door, because there was a movement, the maid was nervous and poked her head out, and when she saw Qi Shan, she was startled at first, then shrank back, and leaned in again.

Qi Shan walked to her side gently, squatted down, and said softly: Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you.

The maid's long eyelashes moved, and she glanced tentatively at her.

Qi Shan gently put one hand on her shoulder and said with a smile: My name is Lin Qi Shan, what is your name?

"Meng... Meng Hong", she replied carefully.

"Then how old is Miss Meng Hong this year?", Qi Shan continued to talk to her.

Meng Hong's eyes blinked, and he replied: It will be nineteen in a few days.

Ji Shan took a breath and said: Then do you still have relatives?

Meng Hong shook her head and said in a low voice: They died three years ago, leaving me alone, and I had no choice but to enter the Lin Mansion as a maid to make a living.

Somehow, there was a bitterness in her heart, she held Meng Hong's hand and said: I am the same as you, my parents also left three years ago.

"It's different, at first glance, Miss Lin is from a big family, her status is noble, and Miss Lin is protected by that Ge Gongzi."

Qi Shan smiled and said: You have only seen Ge Gongzi a few times, how do you know that he is protecting me?

Meng Hong said embarrassedly: Ge Gongzi is handsome and chic, and his bearing is extraordinary, which will inevitably attract a few more glances from the woman, but I found that his eyes are on you, Miss Lin.

Qi Shan instantly turned half of her face red, like dyed rouge.

She saw that Meng Hong was no longer as timid as before, so she asked: Miss Meng Hong, can you tell me what happened to you and the second young master of the Lin family that night.

When the sad matter was mentioned again, tears flowed down her face, shaking her head, and crying: After the second young master left the table halfway because he was unwell that day, the young lady ordered me to take care of it. I went to the second young master's room, and when I saw that he was asleep, I helped him cover the quilt, but when I left, the second young master grabbed his hand, and then pressed me down on the bed, no matter how I struggled, it was useless to shout.

Qi Shan felt pity, patted her on the back, and comforted her softly: Okay, Miss Meng Hong, don't cry yet, you take good care of yourself here, we will definitely save you.

Meng Hong nodded obediently, but she didn't know that when Ji Shan turned around, the corners of her lips were unconsciously curled.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

After Xuan Yi and Qi Shan met at the agreed place, they each told each other about the situation of seeing the two of them today.

When Xuan Yi heard that Meng Hong was forced by Lin Xiao, his handsome eyes quietly wrinkled, and he secretly thought: The sound that came out of the house that night was indeed the sound of joy for men and women, and it was not like Meng Hongduo said that she was forced. Could it be that Meng Hong is lying, but why is she lying? Forced by someone, or just to save your life? A series of questions piled up in Xuanyi's mind, and he fell into deep thought.

"Brother Xuanyi, Brother Xuanyi... Qi Shan's call interrupted Xuan Yi's thoughts, and looked back at Qi Shan, under the moonlight, Qi Shan's eyes were slightly curled, and her jade hand hung down on her waist at will, and the wind happened to blow her green silk, like a piece of jade with a flawless white wall. The eyes were clear and translucent, and the thin lips did not move, but they were smiling, which made him feel the urge to taste the fragrance of his lips.

Xuan Yi's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he recalled the sentence that Jiu Zui once asked: In the dead of night, if there is a beautiful woman standing in front of you, you can really hold it. He didn't answer directly, but he knew in his heart that although he was the head of a country, he was first and foremost a man, and he was not necessarily interested in beautiful women, but Qi Shan was definitely tempting enough for him, and he would have a desire to possess her, but, for the sake of her reputation and innocence, he had to restrain this desire, at least before giving her a name, let alone doing whatever he wanted to her under the drive of this desire.

Seeing that Xuan Yi was still staring at him motionless, Qi Shan raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and called out again: Brother Xuanyi, Brother Xuanyi...

Xuan Yi came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Shan smiled, pursed his lips and said: I'm going to ask you what's wrong, what are you thinking?

Xuan Yi laughed embarrassedly twice, and replied: I was thinking, this murderous county order didn't even try the case, so he sentenced people to be beheaded after the autumn, if it wasn't for us to meet, that one of his lives would be gone, and it seems that he should be punished heavily.

Qi Shan's long eyelashes flashed, and she said playfully: Yes, the people of Ai County are choosing beauties for you day and night, and when the time comes, put a few beauties in front of you, I see, it's too late for you to reward him.

Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said refreshingly: That's right, it's the reward.

"Is it really rewarding?" , Qi Shan looked at Xuan Yi with an angry mouth.

"Really reward, if he can really send Miss Jia Feng to the palace for me, I will reward him well." Xuan Yi said, raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked away.

Ji Shan blushed, stood in place, pouted, and said: What nonsense are you talking about!

When the two returned to the other garden, they saw Jiu drunk with Erlang's legs crossed, sitting on a wooden chair in the annex hall, drinking tea leisurely.

Qi Shan habitually glanced at Xuan Yi, and then said with a smile: Brother Jiu Zui, why did you come back, shouldn't you live in the county office?

Jiu Zui raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them lightly, and said with a sad face: Hey, don't mention it, that love and harm person is simply annoying, blindly slapping my ass, it makes me dizzy, and I come back clean and clean.

Xuan Yi smiled, sat aside in his robe, and teased: No, Jiu Drunk, don't you like others to slap your ass the most, so that it can show your official authority even more.

"Don't tell me about those vain, besides, I'm afraid this place won't be long before I live, and I'll really have to live in the county government by then."

Nine drunk said seriously.

"Why?" , Qi Shan asked puzzled.

Jiu drunk shook his chicken feather fan, stretched his neck and said to Ji Shan: This is not simple, why do you say that we can live here, it is because I can treat the second young master of the Lin family, and now that he has become a ghost, can we still live here, if it weren't for the fact that the Lin family has been busy with the affairs of the second young master Lin these days, they would have issued an eviction order a long time ago.

Ji Shan bowed slightly, thoughtful.

Jiu Zui took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, when you went to the cell today, did you ask anything?"

Xuan Yi nodded heavily, and told Jiu Zui everything they found in prison today.

"Poof", nine drunk shots, angrily scolded: You say that this love hurts people, it is really not enough to succeed, more than defeat, you see, this is the show girl he chose for the emperor, and said aggrievedly: This is the most beautiful girl in our Shuncheng... As he spoke, he took out a stack of portraits from his sleeve and threw them in front of Xuan Yi and Qi Shan.

Qi Shan lowered her eyebrows, and instantly pursed her lips and smiled: It's okay, besides, Brother Xuan Yi said, people, you can't just look at appearance, as long as you are dignified, no matter how beautiful or ugly, it's the same, right, Brother Xuan Yi?

Xuan Yi naturally knew that Qi Shan was taking the opportunity to laugh at himself, so he took the excuse to drink a cup of tea and didn't answer.

But Jiu was drunk and unhappy, pointed at Qi Shan and said: I said Miss Lin, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you talk big about your beauty, don't you?

"How can I have?", Qi Shan said aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, a beauty like you doesn't understand the pain of those ugly girls, to be honest, I really sympathize with the emperor now, and my heart hurts when I think that he will have to spend his life with these stunners in the future."

Qi Shan glanced at Xuan Yi playfully, and said to Jiu Zui: Then you continue to feel heartache, I will go back to the room.

"Wait, Jishan, I have something to say to you." Jiu Drunk suddenly stopped Ji Shan, who was about to leave.

Qi Shan turned around and stared at Jiu Drunk for a long time, always feeling that he seemed to have some conspiracy, so he turned to Xuan Yi again, only to see Xuan Yi shaking his head without knowing anything.

Jiu drunk rubbed in front of Qi Shan, and said flatteringly: Qi Shan, what do you think of me and my apprentice treating you over the years?

"Very good, what's wrong?", Qi Shan felt that something was wrong.

Jiu Zui chuckled and continued: Qi Shan, you know, over the years, we have always regarded you as a sister, you said that you are a girl, and you are not too young, we two are brothers, so we want to give it to you。。。。。

"Ahem. It's not too early, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. Xuan Yi seemed to have guessed what Jiu Zui was going to say, and immediately found a excuse to leave.

But before the front foot could be taken away, he was pressed back into the chair by Jiu Drunk, and said: Don't you want to go, this matter has been discussed by us together, so we have to bear it together, hum.

Xuanyi was helpless for a while, holding a folding fan and waving it wildly.

And Qi Shan looked at Jiu Drunk, then at Xuan Yi, pursed his lips and asked: Do you have something to hide from me?

Jiu Zui sneered and replied: That's right, what about us, we're going to help you find a good husband, so that you don't have to be displaced with us, right?

Qi Shan's face changed suddenly, and she asked lightly: Brother Xuan Yi also agreed?

Jiu Zui didn't seem to realize Ji Shan's displeasure, and continued: Of course I agreed, this matter was discussed by the two of us.

"I..."

"What are you... , don't speak", Xuan Yi wanted to explain something, but he was blocked back drunk

Qi Shan simply sat down on the chair and said coldly: Okay, you guys talk about what kind of husband are you going to find for me?

Jiu Zui poked his palm, raised his head and said: The two of us have discussed it, and we are ready to send you to the palace to marry the current emperor and become the imperial concubine.

"What?" Qi Shan jumped up from the chair suddenly, and looked at Xuan Yi with ashamed and angry eyes, and it happened that his eyes were also shining at her, his resolute eyes seemed to be expecting something.

Qi Shan was going to question him, but for some reason, as soon as she met his eyes full of expectation, she avoided it unexpectedly, and could only say angrily to Jiu Zui: Hehe, Yin Jiu is drunk, it's night, and it's not time to daydream yet. As he spoke, he glared at him angrily and walked away without looking back.
