Travel back to ancient times to spoil the prince

Chapter 171 Qi Jingshuang

"That's right."

Xiao Huaijin smiled in satisfaction, and there was warmth in her brows and eyes again.

"Go back to your rooms."

Yin gently took his hand, and moved his gaze to Shi Ru and Tao Jiang, "I've woken up, you don't have to guard me anymore."

"I'll make medicine for you."

Shi Ru yawned, and said lazily, "I'll go to rest after you finish drinking the medicine."

"Then I'll go get you and brother Huaijin something to eat."

Tao Jiang stood up straight and planned to leave with Shi Ru, but before he could leave, the door of their room was pushed open by Xin Nanrong.

"Lord."

Xin Nanrong bowed to Xiao Huaijin, and said in a low voice, "Can you come out for a while? This subordinate has something to tell you."

"Sir, you go out."

Yin gently clutched his injured arm, and lay down on the bed again, "I'll sleep a little longer."

"Then go to sleep."

Xiao Huaijin helped her tidy the quilt, and her tone was as gentle as she wanted, "I'll come as soon as I go, don't worry, now the whole inn is under my control, assassins can't come in."

"Ah."

Yin slightly answered in a drowsy manner, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

Her body is too weak and needs more rest.

Xiao Huaijin sat beside her and looked at her, making sure she was asleep before taking Tao Jiang and others out.

"Go ahead."

After leaving the room, Xiao Huaijin brought Xin Nanrong into an accordion. He sat by the table and looked at Xin Nanrong expressionlessly, "What do you want to say to me?"

"The people below intercepted a secret letter."

Xin Nanrong gave a low cough, and took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve.

"The letter was written by Qi Jingshuang, the county magistrate of Tongzhou Prefecture, to Xiao Huaiyu. Qi Jingshuang told Xiao Huaiyu that the assassin he sent to Tongzhou Prefecture has been dealt with by us, and also revealed the name of the inn where we temporarily stayed."

"Qi Jingshuang?"

Xin Nanrong touched his chin, his pupils flickered, and his face darkened instantly, "I seem to have heard of this person's name."

"My lord, Li Liande mentioned this person in front of you."

Xin Nanrong pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Li Liande said that Qi Jingshuang was your grandfather's disciple."

"Oh, I remember."

Xiao Huaijin snorted lightly, and clenched the fist hanging by her side without any trace, "Uncle Li said that Qi Jingshuang's family was poor, and when he was about to starve to death, his grandfather rescued him."

"Well, there is such a thing."

Xin Nanrong coughed lightly, and told him while observing his expression, "I heard that Qi Jingshuang's ability to become a Jinshi depends entirely on the support of the Gu family. Therefore, after Qi Jingshuang became an official, he has always regarded himself as a student of General Gu, but..."

"But when the Gu family had an accident, he immediately separated the relationship with the Gu family."

For the rest, Xin Nanrong didn't make it clear, but Xiao Huaijin knew it well.

He twitched the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, and said coolly, "I can understand that he betrayed the Gu family in order to protect himself! But it's a bit too much for him to seek refuge in Xiao Huaiyu and help Xiao Huaiyu entrap me."

"My lord, what are you going to do with Qi Jingshuang?"

Seeing that when he mentioned Qi Jingshuang, there was murderous intent in his tone, Xin Nanrong fixed his eyes, and immediately made a plan to assassinate Qi Jingshuang in his head.

"Don't mess around."

Xiao Huaijin saw through his thoughts at a glance. He picked up the teapot on the table and offered himself a cup of tea with a very cold expression, "Qi Jingshuang is an official ordered by the court. We cannot kill him unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Ok."

Xin Nanrong coughed lightly, and quickly got up the killing intent in his heart.

Xiao Huaijin took a sip of tea and said coolly, "I remember, there is a branch of Kaiji Company in Tongzhou Prefecture, right? Let the head of the branch come to see me."

"Subordinates obey."

Xin Nanrong arched his hands at him, turned his head and walked towards the door, but when he was about to reach the door, he stopped again, "Master, what should we do with this secret letter?"

He spread his palm, revealing the small bamboo tube lying on his palm.

"Since Qi Jingshuang wants to flatter Xiao Huaiyu, let's help him."

Xiao Huaijin smiled, and said slowly, "You send someone to send the letter written by Qi Jingshuang to Xiao Huaiyu."

"what?"

Xin Nanrong didn't expect him to make such a decision, and opened his mouth subconsciously, "Master, why did you do this? If Xiao Huaiyu knew that we were going to stay in Tongzhou Mansion for a few days, he would definitely continue to send people to assassinate us .”

"I asked you to hand over Qi Jingshuang's letter to Xiao Huaiyu just to lure Xiao Huaiyu to kill us."

Xiao Huaijin stood up straight, walked to Xin Nanrong, and reminded him with a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's easier to deal with Xiao Huaiyu's hole cards here than in Beijing."

Oh, so he thought so?
Xin Nanrong understood his thoughts, he curled the corner of his mouth vaguely, and retreated silently.

Xiao Huaijin looked at the direction he left, and after making sure that he had gone far, she set off to find Yin Qingqing.

When he returned to the room, Shi Ru and Tao Jiang were already in the room. One of them was preparing food for Yin Qingqing, and the other was serving Yin Qingqing to wash.

Seeing him coming back, Yin gently threw the towel in her hand into the basin in front of her, and smiled at him demurely, "Sir, are you done?"

"Ah."

Xiao Huaijin nodded lightly, without hiding the truth from her and Tao Jiang, she simply repeated what Xin Nanrong had said to him.

"The county magistrate here is from Xiao Huaiyu?"

After listening to his words, Yin Weiwei frowned subconsciously, "This is not good news for us, Mr. Xianggong, how about we..."

"I've made all the arrangements, don't worry, we'll be fine."

Xiao Huaijin knew what she wanted to say, and interrupted her without waiting for her to finish speaking, and did not give her any preparations to persuade him to leave Tongzhou Mansion as soon as possible.

Yin Weiwei was amused by him, so he could only put away those messy thoughts in his heart, and pulled him to sit down by the table, "Forget it, let's eat first."

"You are so nice."

Xiao Huaijin tapped the tip of her nose with her hand, then shifted her gaze to the dining table in front of her.

The food on the table should be prepared by Tao Jiang, all the dishes are Yin Qingqing's favorite, without considering other people's tastes at all.

"There's not even a single vegetarian dish, what's the matter?"

Xiao Huaijin shook her head helplessly, and turned her head to look at Tao Jiang, "You should order one or two green dishes anyway, don't you get tired of eating so much meat?"

"Miss Qing has injuries, you need to eat more meat."

Tao Jiang chuckled twice, and was about to greet him and Yin Qingqing for dinner when he heard someone knocking on the door of their room.

"My lord, Qi Jingshuang is here."

After a while, Chu Yue's voice came from outside the door.
