After being reborn as a double, she is soft and charming

Chapter 24

Xiyan's arm trembled.

Her heart was already overwhelmed, but she still said calmly, "Oh? Sister Jin, have you ever seen what the person in the portrait looks like?"

Zhu Jin tilted her head and thought for a while, "The light is too dim, and I just took a quick glance, but the eyes of the person in the painting are very like obsidian, and they are somewhat similar to you, Ayan."

Seeing that the little girl had stopped her grief, she let go of her shoulders and sat down across the table to pick up the dishes.

Xi Yan's heart was beating chugly, could it be her brother Cheng?
Her fingertips tightened, but her lips were faintly stained with a faint smile, and her appetite returned instantly.

At night, Zhu Jin fell asleep, and Xiyan got up on tiptoe.

Since returning from Qingzhou, she has never been out of Shizifu, and with the hysteria that Xiyan Pavilion has raised for half a year, the situation in Yecheng seems like a lifetime ago.

If the person Zhu Jin was talking about was really sent by Mu Yuncheng, then he must be trying to get in touch with her.

The Shizi Mansion is like an iron wall, if Bai Qi didn't let it go on purpose, outsiders would not be able to enter at all.

She has to find a way to get out.

Without the guarded courtyard, she couldn't be trapped at all, and with Bai Qi busy with his boots, Xiyan left the Shizi's mansion very quickly.

There was some movement outside the mansion, a soft sedan chair was carried out from the side door, the curtain was shaking, and the imperial concubine's dress disappeared in a flash.

Is it Fuqu?
Xiyan stepped up to keep up.

Naturally, Lu Zhi's residence is not in Shizi's Mansion, so Bai Qi must have arranged for Fu Que to leave the mansion to be sent to Lu Zhi's side.

But judging from this posture, Lu Zhi probably wants to accept Fu Que.

Fu Que's first mission was complete, so if Lu Zhi asked for it, Bai Qi would naturally not stop her.

Xi Yan had an idea, thinking that she was already taking a concubine, so the blueprint of the combat boots must have been completed.

If he can get the pattern of the drawing and give it to Mu Yuncheng, will he have a better chance of winning?

Xiyan had a direction, and chased the sedan chair all the way to Lu Zhi's residence.

Sure enough, there were lights and festoons, and there was peace.

However, Bai Qi was cautious, and Lu Zhi was also a solo traveler, so there was no one else in the courtyard except the see-off team.

Xiyan's figure was nimble, and she quickly entered the dormitory.

Lu Zhi looked a little sloppy, even though he just got out of the bath and his hair was still dripping with water, he didn't lose his vicious look at all.

And Fu Que lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.

Concubines are not qualified to use the red hijab, but the women in Bai Qi's backyard were not trained according to the standards of regular wives.

"Beauty, you don't seem happy looking at it?"

Lu Zhi's thirties have passed, and Xu Shi has been wandering all the time, with vicissitudes in his voice.

Fu Que's voice was sweet and greasy, and she said respectfully, "I dare not."

Lu Zhi sat down beside her, scratched the bruise on her neck with his rough fingertips, and smiled contentedly, "Last night's spring festival, I can't stop thinking about it, beauty, it's only been a day, how did you change?"

Fu Que's voice could not be seen to be happy or angry, "Husband, did you give the picture of your combat boots to the crown prince?"

Lu Zhi shrugged, "Yes, so you have achieved your goal, so you don't want to pretend to be false?"

After finishing speaking, he firmly held Fu Que's chin, leaned forward and kissed her, his lips and teeth were unconsciously stern like revenge.

Hiding in the dark, Xi Yan saw the scattered semi-finished drawings on the desk not far away, and put them into her sleeves, turned around and fled, only to hear a "bang", and the screen fell down in response!
Lu Zhi was in a trance, looking at Xiyan who opened the door halfway in puzzlement, his eyes were blurred.

Look, it seems that he has been drugged with Mihunsan or something.

As for Fu Que, as if she had expected Xiyan's appearance, she just curled her lips into a smile, and raised her knife.

After doing this, she pretended to throw the dagger out, and her flowery face immediately showed panic:

"Xiyan, why did you kill my husband? What are you trying to do by stealing my husband's drawings?"

As soon as the words fell, she trembled unceasingly, and her slender fingers slowly pointed at the person in front of her. That appearance, she simply performed the delicate and pitiful expression to the extreme, "Could it be... are you a secret agent sent by Nanliang?"

Xi Yan calmed down, felt the atmosphere around her, and made sure that no one was in the dark, she sneered, "There is no one else here, Fu Que, who are you acting for?"

After hearing this, Fu Que raised her hand to wipe the tears on her cheeks, her eyes wandered around for a few times, and finally pouted angrily:

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Shizi, I'm already on my way..."

Xiyan's heart sank!
Fu Que got up slowly, tears were still pouring out, her pale face was full of brokenness and pain, but the words she said were completely opposite:
"Xiyan, Chunlan told me that you touched the mechanism of the rockery. There used to be a dark room. The night you were taken away by Bai Yu, the people in the mansion dragged a corpse out of it. Chunlan saw it with her own eyes. .”

Looking at the appearance of Fu Qu holding the winning ticket, Xi Yan frowned puzzled, "How did you expect that I will definitely come tonight?"

Fu Que chuckled lightly, with disdain flashing across her brows, "How do you think Zhu Jin knows that I serve this reckless man?"

Having said that, she raised her foot and kicked Lu Zhi who was out of breath.

"Zhu Jin is an idiot. I used any tricks, and she fell into the trap." Fu Que raised her hand and patted her palms, moving away from the corpse in disgust. Now, I must try to find out your details. In the past year, with the mistakes you Xiyan made back and forth, if you were someone else, you might have died several times!"

While thinking about it, Fu Que was already approaching, she gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, "It's because of your eyes that the prince is soft-hearted again and again!"

Xiyan lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "Sure enough, as I expected, the gossip outside Xiyan Pavilion in the past six months was all arranged by you."

Fu Que was noncommittal, "It's only been a year since I pampered you as the crown prince. Without his favoritism, now everyone has stolen goods. I'll see how you get away with it!"

Xiyan calculated the distance, and quietly pulled the hidden weapon on her wrist.

However, before she could make a move, a black shadow broke through the window, and as soon as the sword came out of the scabbard, Fu Que was forced to faint in front of Xiyan.

Xiyan took a step back defensively, when she heard the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard approaching.

The other party cupped his hands and bowed, "Girl, my son ordered me to protect you, please follow me!"

Prince?Is it really Mu Yuncheng?
Xiyan was overjoyed, and followed the man in black out of the courtyard. When the courtyard door was knocked open, she climbed over the wall under the cover of the man in black.

The two walked towards Shizi's mansion, Xiyan said, "My son...why did he send someone to protect me?"

The man in black responded, "My son ordered me to tell the girl that it was really helpless to play with the girl's lips that day. The girl's identity is suspicious and her behavior is abnormal, so she can't just trust her."

Xiyan's heart warmed up, and all her defenses dissipated.

She took out the blueprint from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it to the man in black. She said concisely, "This year is the worst winter in a century. The Nanyang River will freeze. Bai Qi wants to make combat boots. This war is inevitable." , please give these blueprints to Shizi, so that he can take precautions in advance."

The man in black took it, and cupped his hands, "Thank you for the gift, I ordered someone to divert Bai Qi's attention and take the girl out of Yecheng."

Xi Yan looked at the mansion that was close at hand, and shook her head anxiously, "I still have not got the secret road map, I can't leave now, don't worry, I have a way to get out."

It was already midnight.

Xiyan shook the hairpin in her hand, and quietly pushed open the bedroom door.

The ear chamber was dark, and Zhu Jin seemed to be still asleep.

But in the next moment, the flames moved from far to near, illuminating the simple courtyard as bright as day.

The courtyard door was kicked open!

Under the flickering firelight, Bai Qi's gloomy face looked like a bloodthirsty ghost.
