idle mistress

Chapter 117 Attacked
"Sister-in-law, you've been working on it for a long time, why don't you take a break? Be careful that you're exhausted."

When Xu Weiqiu heard this, he couldn't help but said: "A few flowers like this can be exhausted? You haven't seen those real tenant farmers who can work in the field for a day under the scorching sun."

Don't look at her gardening and planting flowers every day, in fact, she is not idle, she has secretly contacted the outside world, and often secretly handles the affairs of the firm through letters.

On the contrary, in the past few days, Gao Xiangning didn't know what was going on, and she didn't even care about her newborn son. She ran to her house every day, asking her about her health every day, asking her if she had a headache, and asking Does she have any discomfort, as if she is afraid that she has some serious illness.

If she hadn't been so sincere, I would really have doubted whether she was sent by that Zhao to spy on me.

"Xiang Ning, you've been staying with me for a long time, it's time to go back."

Gao Xiangning shook her head: "I'll sit down for a while."

"The child should miss his mother."

"Don't be afraid, there is a nurse watching."

It's really strange that this person can't be driven away.

After planting the flowers, Xu Weiqiu washed his hands and sat down beside Gao Xiangning.After taking two sips of tea, she suddenly remembered something, and asked involuntarily:
"By the way, Xiang Ning, I heard that Mrs. Yang has been locked up?"

Gao Xiangning nodded: "It's locked up, according to my cousin's order."

Xu Weiqiu frowned slightly: "As for it, what happened?"

"I don't know, she must have made a mistake." Her brother told her not to let her cousin know about it, so Gao Xiangning had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"How big a mistake is it to lock people up? This Zhao Yan is really, no, I have to ask later."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiangning immediately became nervous, and hurriedly said: "Cousin sister, don't go, cousin went to Beijing the day before yesterday, and he will not be able to return for several days."

"You really don't know what happened?" Xu Weiqiu was dubious.

Gao Xiangning shook her head again.

Xu Weiqiu picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea. Just as he swallowed the water, he was choked by the tea dregs inside, causing a violent cough.

Seeing this, Gao Xiangning turned pale with fright.

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law... hurry up, please call the doctor."

Xu Weiqiu regained his breath, and quickly grabbed her: "I'm fine, I just choked."

Gao Xiangning looked at her in shock, and after a while, a sentence came out of her mouth: "Sister-in-law, let's go to the temple tomorrow."

Xu Weiqiu looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why are you going to the temple so well?"

"Just go to burn incense and pray for blessings."

Xu Weiqiu shook his head: "I don't quite believe this." Besides, even though the foot restraint order has been lifted, she has to be followed by the guards in the mansion when she comes in and out, which is too inconvenient.

"I want to go and pray for the children, so you have the right to accompany me." Gao Xiangning acted coquettishly at her.

Whenever she thinks of the puppet full of silver needles she saw that day, she still has lingering fears. She is always worried that something bad will happen to her cousin-in-law. dissolve dissolve.

Under her repeated begging, Xu Weiqiu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
-
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Weiqiu had breakfast and got ready for morning exercise after a short rest. She had just finished stretching before Gao Xiangning came.

Only then did she remember that she promised to go to the temple with her to offer incense yesterday, so she had to wash up hastily and change into going out clothes.

Soon, a carriage left the Palace of the Mausoleum, and the horse was escorted by eight guards with swords on both sides. The battle was really not small.

When the people on both sides of the street inquired that it was the horse driver of the Mausoleum Mansion, they thought that sitting inside must be the master of the Mausoleum Mansion, and they couldn't help but respect in awe.

The carriage quickly left the city gate and headed for the Dayin Temple outside the city.

Dayin Temple is a world-famous temple. I heard that there are many eminent monks practicing in the temple, and the gods in it are also very effective.

Although the Great Sound Temple is outside the city, it has been burning incense all the year round...

Halfway through the carriage, two women in the carriage were chatting, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Xu Weiqiu raised the curtain suspiciously and looked out, his expression changed slightly, but he saw several boulders rolling down the high slope ahead, directly blocking the way.

The horse was frightened and became restless, and the carriage shook accordingly.

"What's wrong?" Gao Xiangning yelled in surprise, quickly stabilized her body, and asked uneasily.

Xu Weiqiu's face darkened: "No, I'm afraid I've met a bandit." As soon as she finished speaking, the guards outside shouted: "Protect the mistress."

Immediately there was a sound of weapons clashing from outside.

Gao Xiangning had always been raised in a deep boudoir, but she had never seen such a battle before, she was so frightened that she was stunned, and tightly grabbed Xu Weiqiu next to her with both hands:

"Sister-in-law, what can I do? What can I do?"

Xu Weiqiu was also very nervous, but she knew that at this moment, she couldn't lose her footing.

She raised the curtain, and they were fighting outside. Although the guards of their Mausoleum Palace were all excellent in martial arts, they were so numerous that they would not care about the two of them for a while.

After another moment, our side was clearly at a disadvantage.

Xu Weiqiu immediately decided that she couldn't sit still. She looked back at Gao Xiangning and saw her trembling, so she took her hand and said, "Xiang Ning, calm down."

"Sister-in-law, what should we do? Will I die here?"

Xu Weiqiu looked at her and said, "We have to find a way to save ourselves." While speaking, she turned and pushed open the door of the carriage. Seeing this, Gao Xiangning yelled in fear:

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"The target of this carriage is too big, we have to find a place to hide."

Although Gao Xiangning was afraid, but seeing her look of fearlessness in the face of danger, she calmed down a little.

Xu Weiqiu pointed to a woods behind: "Xiang Ning, look, there are dense vegetation over there, which is the best place to hide. Let's run in that direction as soon as we get off the car. The farther the better, the better."

Gao Xiangning nodded obediently.

Not long after, the two women jumped out of the carriage secretly and rushed towards the woods. At this moment, a sharp-eyed villain yelled:
"Third brother, he ran away."

Soon, several gangsters chased after him.

Xu Weiqiu quickened his pace. With her speed, it is absolutely no problem to escape into the woods before the gangsters catch up. However, Xiang Ning beside her has bound feet and cannot run at all.

Seeing this, a royal guard didn't bother to fight, and turned around to escort him. Unexpectedly, he was chased and slashed by the gangsters behind him as soon as he ran close.

Before falling down, he shouted to the two fleeing women in front of him: "Princess Wangfei, run quickly..."

Watching a large living person being hacked to death, Gao Xiangning screamed and burst into tears in fright.

Xu Weiqiu couldn't care less about his sadness, and dragged her with all his strength, and the two of them stumbled into the bushes.
