Qin Zeng was surrounded by everyone at the moment, as if he had not met in a hundred years, everyone said a word, there were compliments and temptations.

Some high-ranking officials were hindered by their status, and they couldn't pull their faces to talk to a eunuch, so they talked with others about good policies for governing the country, hoping that these words could reach the emperor's ears through Qin Zeng's mouth.

In fact, Qin Zeng did rarely appear on such occasions, and even less had personal relations with court officials.

First, he has a cold temperament and does not like to be called and embraced.

Second, his identity is sensitive, and powerful and high-ranking officials take more precautions against him, for fear that if he is not careful, he will leak his secret affairs to Dongchang.

Chang Ze took the time to step forward and whisper a few words, Qin Zeng got up and nodded to everyone, and followed Chang Ze to a secluded place.

No one dared to ask Qin Zeng what he was doing, so he only craned his neck and looked curiously one by one, wondering if something had happened to the Mu family.

At this time, the Mu family was in the study.

The fourth prince stood in front of Mu Yuanchang, and the knife wounds that almost ran through his entire face made his face more and more bewitching.

He had already taken out everything that happened in the stone chamber, including the fact that he secretly used women to make incense: "Qin Zeng must have known about it. ”

Mu Yuanchang stood up suddenly, eager to beat the son of evil in front of him to death immediately!

If anyone else was present, they would have been shocked that he had such an attitude towards the prince.

However, when the four princes faced Mu Yuanchang, they really wanted to call him "father".

"I think you're tired of what the prince is doing! I want to reincarnate! ”

The fourth prince raised his head coldly and looked at his biological father.

After all, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and his momentum as a prince has been formed, no matter how twisted and perverted he is behind his back, in front of people, he is the fourth prince who is high, respectful and fearful.

When Mu Yuanchang saw him with such eyes, his arrogance was suddenly suppressed by most of them!

"You...... Alas! ”

Mu Yuanchang sighed heavily!

"You! How can you do such a thing that ruins your reputation, and let others catch the handle of our Mu family! ”

The fourth prince had scarlet eyes, clenched his fists tightly, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely peel Li Qingyi and cramp!

Mu Yuanchang is scheming in the end, and under the anger, his thoughts can quickly calm down, "Such an ugly thing, we can only ......"

Before he finished speaking, someone outside suddenly panicked and said: "Master, Your Highness, it's not good, Admiral Qin wants to search our mansion, and at this time he has found the courtyard where His Highness lives alone." ”

The two looked at each other, their expressions the same cold.

There were other people present, and the fourth prince called Mu Yuanchang "uncle", and he asked, "What is the uncle's plan?" ”

Mu Yuanchang glanced at him and said with a calm face: "No matter what Qin Zeng finds out, His Highness must insist that he doesn't know about it!" ”

The four princes' eyebrows condensed, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts, "Uncle......"

Mu Yuanchang raised his hand to interrupt his words, waved the little guy away, and then said: "You are the fourth prince of the noble concubine, you must remember the responsibility on your shoulders!" I won't allow you to slip up the slightest! ”

The fourth prince listened to his scolding, which was complicated and indescribable.

If he could, he really didn't want to be a prince!

Others only see his infinite scenery, but who knows how he feels about living in fear since he was a child?

He knew he wasn't a royal bloodliner! also knew that the Mu family was doing this a big crime of deceiving the king and exterminating the clan.

Fear made him walk on thin ice, and he was under more pressure than the other princes!

Everyone in the Mu family pinned their hopes on him.

He only felt that he was carrying a huge stone on his back every day, and he was overwhelmed......

*****

It took almost a trot all the way to keep up with Qin Zeng's footsteps.

She followed what Li Qingyi said, and led everyone all the way to the courtyard where the four princes trapped Li Qingyi.

Qin Zeng's eyes were cold, and he could almost drip ice.

He pushed open the courtyard door, squinted his eyes and looked at the exquisite decorations in the courtyard, snorted coldly, and asked Xianglan: "Where is the entrance!" ”

Li Qingyi had already explained where the organ was, and Xiang Lan almost crashed into the room, and threw himself directly towards the candlestick, turning hard, and the secret door opened in response.

Through the wide corridor, Mu Yuanchang's angry and disappointed voice faintly came from behind the stone gate: "Ying'er, the Mu family holds you like a jewel in the palm of your hand, how can you do such an evil thing that has lost your conscience!" He was so vicious to the four princes? Are you going to put your family's safety at risk? ”

Qin Zeng and his party paused behind the stone gate, only to hear Mu Yuanchang say: "From today on, you are no longer the descendant of my Mu family!" Fourth Highness, today you will be the witness to remove Mu Ying from my Mu family tree! ”

When Qin Zeng heard this, his pupils shrank.

This Mu Yuanchang is really cunning, is he actually going to lose his pawn to protect the car?

As soon as he raised his hand, Xiang Lan stepped forward and pressed the motive, and the stone door opened with a bang.

Mu Yuanchang looked back in astonishment: "Lord Qin? ”

Qin Zeng ignored him, didn't even glance at the fourth prince, and went straight up the stone steps, his gaze sweeping behind the long curtain.

In the rising heat, the sleeping women were soaked in the water, and the air exuded a warm and faint sweet fragrance.

If Li Qingyi is just an ordinary lady in the house, I am afraid that she has become the "spice" of the four princes at this time!

Qin Zeng thought of those eyes that were as bright as morning dew and as pure as autumn water, and he only felt as if something had broken through the ground in his heart.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "Mu Yuanchang, your Mu family is so bold!" Dare to capture the officials alive and do such a thing! Where is Li Qingyi?! ”

*****

In the dark and cold stone room, Li Qingyi leaned against the wall and gasped weakly, the dagger in his hand still stained with a little red.

The shoes on her left foot had been taken off, and there were several bloody cuts on the instep of her foot, and the sticky poisonous blood that slowly flowed out left a few dark blood lines on it, which was caused by her bloodletting and toxinization.

She had done her best to control the spread of the toxin, but the numbness was still slowly eating away at her flesh, and almost her entire left leg was now unconscious.

If she can't get out......

Li Qingyi gritted his teeth and raised the dagger to compare at the base of his thigh.

There was only a small oil lamp in the stone chamber, which burned with a faint light.

At this time, the light and shadow overlapped, barely illuminating the ruthlessness on her face.

Could it be that it will end in such a mess if you live again?

The things she swore to keep, the mysteries that haunted her day and night......

She couldn't just die.

Even if she loses a leg, she will live!

Time was infinitely stretched out in the darkness and waiting, and Li Qingyi could only judge how long it had passed by the perception of his left leg.

Fortunately, the Mu family did not use the poison that killed them with one hit, presumably in order to keep alive to extract a confession for interrogation or something.

One stick of incense, two pillars of incense......

The longer the time passed, the more numb his legs became, but the more sober Li Qingyi's thoughts became.

She gently stroked the dagger in her hand, remembering all the things she had experienced in her previous life from the Li family to the Wei family to Qin Zeng's side, and she couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality......

Li Qingyi slowly closed his eyes, relentlessly, held the dagger tightly in his hand, and calculated in his heart how to quickly dismember a leg without losing his life.

After a while, she stabilized her mind, cut her trouser leg open, and saw that her original snow-white skin was infected by a faint black gas, and she knew that she couldn't delay any longer.

The moment the pain came, there was a loud bang in the stone gate, and the dagger in Li Qingyi's hand stopped on the flesh.

She squinted at the door, the peerless man, his black hair blending with the dark robe in the backlight, the cold and hard aura that wandered on the edge of rage, the moment he saw her miserable situation, burst out.

Qin stepped into the dim stone room, squatted down to look at the wounds on her legs and her feet that were almost congealed with black blood, and then looked directly into her eyes, his voice was depressed and depressed: "You have no confidence in me so much?!" ”

Li Qingyi's smile bloomed like a spring flower: "My lord." ”

Qin Zeng was shaken by her dawn-like smile, and there was only happiness and pity left in his heart.

I am glad that I did not miss her life, and I pity her strength and determination.

He didn't say a word, pulled off the big coat on his body and wrapped it around the person in front of him, stretched out his arm to pick her up, turned around and walked out.

Li Qingyi leaned miserably on Qin Zeng's chest, and was surrounded by his strong and powerful arms, breathing a sigh of relief.

Chang Ze, Xiang Lan and the others were shocked by the cold air on Qin Zeng's body, and they didn't dare to say half a word, so they could only speed up their pace and follow all the way behind, always vigilant.

The women, who were hidden by the curtain, had been rescued by the people of the East Factory and temporarily held in a stone room.

Mu Yuanchang saw Qin Zeng hurriedly returning from the secret passage with Li Qingyi in his arms, glanced at the four princes, and secretly screamed in his heart.

The fourth prince felt even more remorseful, he didn't know that Li Qingyi was so cunning, he actually hid back in the secret passage, and didn't flee at all!

Qin Zeng hugged Li Qingyi, walked up to the two of them with a blue face, and looked at the four princes with meaningful eyes, "The Mu family's poison will not be without an antidote!" ”
