Chapter Sixty-Nine: Hug, Fire Burns
"Qingqing?" The person behind her smelled the dark fragrance in her hair, and her voice was hoarse.
In the dark, the man was cold, and Fu Yunqing's body trembled slightly.
Qi Chengyi put the knife into the sheath: "I didn't know it was you." β
"It doesn't matter." Fu Yunqing touched the tip of her nose and suppressed a trace of embarrassment in her heart.
How terrifying Qi Chengyi's strength was, she didn't dare to imagine, as soon as she stepped into the door, she didn't have time to react, and the other party put the blade against her neck.
If Qi Chengyi wanted to hurt her, she was already a cold corpse at this time.
She once thought that Qi Chengyi put Lin Yuezhou by her side, but he never hurt her, but instead cured Ziheng's leg disease.
Although there is no sincere exchange between the two, they can be regarded as good allies for cooperation.
"There's a mechanism in the study, give it to me." In the dark, Qi Chengyi stretched out his hand to her.
Fu Yunqing was silent, and Qi Chengyi took the initiative to take her hand.
Her fingertips were cold, holding Qi Chengyi's slightly calloused and still warm palm, all the way from her fingertips to her heart.
In fact, the hand held by him is very down-to-earth.
Qi Chengyi treats her insincerely, but he won't hurt her.
When Li Quan is not in the study, there is a mechanism inside, if someone trespasses without permission, it will trigger the hidden weapon, although Fu Yunqing has the key, but if he touches the mechanism by mistake, I am afraid he will not be able to retreat.
So, the third aunt led her to the study......
Do you want her to find out something?
She always felt that the third aunt asked her to come to the study today because she knew something, but she didn't dare to say it directly.
"Your third aunt wants to borrow your hand to eradicate Li Quan and never suffer in the future." Qi Chengyi glanced at the key in her palm and said lightly, "She wants to kill Li Quan, she has been patient all these years, and to this day, she finally can't bear it." As a pillow person, it is impossible not to be unaware, but she can't expose Li Quan in person. β
"First, she doesn't have this strength, and second, she will be tolerated by the Li family, she can't go back to help her family, if she reaches forty and is driven out by the Li family, her old age will be miserable. She can't afford to gamble, she can't afford to lose. β
During the conversation, Qi Chengyi held a night pearl the size of a wine cup in his hand, illuminated the study, and after observing the pattern, he walked straight to the front of an ink painting of mountains and rivers.
Qi Chengyi opened the landscape paintingββ
A plain white wall is exposed.
Qi Chengyi calculated in his mind for a moment, and looked at a white porcelain vase placed on the opposite side of the wall.
The porcelain vase is inserted with the third aunt's favorite orchid.
Youlan is related to the third aunt......
Fu Yunqing frowned slightly.
Qi Chengyi turned the vase lightly, and the white wall where the painting was originally hung slowly rotated, and a cramped tunnel with one person passing appeared.
Qi Chengyi threw a stone out of his sleeve.
The stone hits the wall, bounces off the opposite wall, and rolls down the stairs, triggering the trap and shooting sharp arrows cross-fired!
A sharp knife net fell from the top of the wall!
After testing all the mechanisms, Qi Chengyi led Fu Yunqing to step down the stone steps step by step.
As soon as the two of them entered the underground secret room, the white wall behind them immediately closed.
The secret room is stocked with daily necessities, bookcases, coffee tables, small beds, and locked red boxes.
Qi Chengyi took off the long hairpin of Fu Yunqing's hair, inserted the tip of the hairpin into the lock cylinder and pounded it a few times, and the iron lock fell off.
Fu Yunqing's three thousand green silk hung down on her waist, her black hair was as smooth as silk, her face was like jade, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, even this?" β
In the narrow secret room, the woman's hair is fragrant and floating, like a seduction of the soul, which makes people burn, Qi Chengyi opened his face and throated slightly: "When I was locked in an iron cage, I learned." β
Fu Yunqing's heart trembled when she heard this, and asked, "Your Highness has been locked in an iron cage since childhood?" β
Qi Chengyi's hand that opened the box paused slightly, remembering the past, a trace of inexplicable sarcasm crossed his eyes:
"You should have seen the cage where the palace hounds were locked, and when I was a child, the cage that locked me was smaller than the dog cage."
"Every time I curled up inside, I tried to escape, so I gradually figured out how to unlock it, and when she found that she couldn't lock me, she always changed to a strange new lock. In the end, there is no lock in the world that can trap me. β
As if he realized that he had said too much, Qi Chengyi was silent for a moment and stopped talking.
Fu Yunqing's childhood was warm, sunny, happy, and loving, and she grew up under the care of her parents.
When Qi Chengyi was young, it seemed dark and difficult, stumbling and tormenting.
But soon, Fu Yunqing reacted to one thing.
It is rumored that Qi Chengyi's mother loves him very much, even if the mother and son are in the cold palace, the first queen will do everything to give Qi Chengyi the best protection, so who is she in his mouth?
But Fu Yunqing didn't ask.
Qi Chengyi is such a thoughtful person, it is extremely difficult for him to be willing to confide in himself about the past.
Why did she bother?
There are some things he will never say, so it is better not to ask.
Fu Yunqing walked over and saw a stack of secret letters in the box.
The first, unsigned, opened secret letter, reads:
Chen Xi has been ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River to find Chu Jinhuai's forged secret letter of rebellion, you need to be prepared to personally testify against the military department.
2nd Letter:
The 8,000 weapons obtained by the captured mountain bandits have been moved into the cave of Xuan'an City.
The third letter:
The time is ripe, and the Chu family has been wiped out.
The more Fu Yunqing looked down, the more frightened he looked, and he couldn't help but look up at Qi Chengyi:
"Aren't these things long overdue?
Qi Chengyi said: "It should be burned immediately after reading, but Li Quan is a deceitful person, and he saw Chen Xi slaughtering Chu's house with his own eyes, and seeing Chen Xi being killed by Chen Yushi, he was naturally worried that the cunning rabbit would die and the lackey would cook." β
"After all, Chen Xi is Chen Yushi's nephew, and even his nephew can kill him. So, he is a Li Quan, why can't he? β
Li Quan naturally wanted to keep a hand, and when Chen Yushi got rid of him, he would threaten him with this ironclad evidence. Either they will live together or they will die together. β
"It's really kind, but I don't want to, I made a wedding dress for us." Fu Yunqing folded all the secret letters into his sleeve, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the secret passage.
Qi Chengyi pulled Fu Yunqing and hid under the bed.
The small environment under the bed is cramped, and Fu Yunqing and Qi Chengyi can only shrink together.
Fu Yunqing was inside, Qi Chengyi was outside, and she blocked the danger with a hard back.
Footsteps could be heard at the entrance to the chamber.
Fu Yunqing saw that Qi Chengyi's back was only a few feet away, and he was about to be exposed under the bed, so he couldn't care so much, Fu Yunqing hugged Qi Chengyi's waist and took him over.
Qi Chengyi's waist stiffened, and he looked at Fu Yunqing in a daze.
The bodies of the two were tightly fitted, completely hidden in the darkness under the bed.
The space was too small, and Fu Yunqing's hand had no place to put it, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, Fu Yunqing's hand could only be hugged on Qi Chengyi's body.
For some reason, she felt that Qi Chengyi was very nervous.
His body was straightened into a straight line, not moving, his breathing was rapid and extremely low.
In the dark, Qi Chengyi's hot breath sprayed on Fu Yunqing's neck, tickling like a feather, she seemed to guess why Qi Chengyi was embarrassed, and even her heart beat a little faster.
She hugged him, but it was too close.
But if you don't hold it tighter, Qi Chengyi will be exposed under the bed.
I just listened to the man in black keep rummaging, and after finding that there was nothing in the secret box, he quickly rummaged through the bookshelves, teapots, and benches...... Then bend down to the bottom of the bed and probe -
saw Qi Chengyi and Fu Yunqing hugging each other!
