After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 113 Chapter 113

Because it was too sudden, the unprepared two people in the carriage were staggered and almost thrown out.

But fortunately, the two of them have extraordinary skills and respond quickly.

Sheng Tingye turned his wrist, supported the side wall, and quickly stabilized his figure.

And Shen Qingci, who was sitting on the other side, grabbed the frame of the car, stretched his long legs, and pressed against his body.

Before the two could catch their breath, a long arrow shot through the air with a whoosh, and it was nailed to the car door in a blink of an eye.

"Master, there is an ambush!"

Qing Yun, who was driving the car, only had time to say such a sentence, and drew his knife to wrestle with seven or eight men in black who suddenly appeared.

On the long street, two rows of lanterns swayed, and the lights flickered on and off.

The shops and residents had already closed their doors. At this moment, they were the only ones with a carriage parked at the intersection. The men in black appeared from several directions at the intersection.

"When will your people arrive?"

Shen Qingci lifted up a corner of the car curtain, and said worriedly: "Qingyun may not last long."

Sheng Tingye sat up straight, his cold eyes fell on her face.

He didn't answer Shen Qingci's words, only heard him cough twice, and then said indifferently: "I am seriously injured, there is still time for you to escape."

Somehow, upon hearing his first sentence, Shen Qingci subconsciously glanced at his chest and legs.

Even if she wanted to escape, because of his words, she couldn't just leave without loyalty.

Although he was a bit hateful before, but no matter what, the injuries on his body have worsened, and her "credit" is also in it.

Moreover, in that secret passage, he also saved her life.

Shen Qingci didn't leave, and even found a long sword from the carriage, got up and protected it in front of him.

Her condition is actually not very good.

The tossing in the secret path that day hurt her vitality, and she still hasn't recovered yet.

Therefore, instead of jumping out to help Qingyun immediately, she observed the situation first.

"Are they coming after you? Who has your Lin family offended recently?"

From Lin Yunhai, to Lin Yunzheng, and then to Lin Yue.

The black hand behind this is even more troublesome than Gu Qiuli.

Facing Shen Qingci's question, Sheng Tingye only responded lightly.

He didn't say directly that the group of people in front of him were only coming for him, not Lin Yue, let alone the Lin family.

"Can you let Qingyun lead people away, I will take advantage of the chaos and drive... a gamble!"

Shen Qingci had already taken into account all the possibilities and dangers that he might encounter in the future.

Just as the words fell, there was a bang, and a dead body hit the railing of the car.

The whole carriage was shaken.

Two men in black approached the carriage.

Qingyun was unable to support himself alone, Shen Qingci raised his sword and was about to jump off, but the next moment, his wrist was grabbed by the person behind him.

"Hey?"

Shen Qingci was puzzled, and was about to turn around to look, but suddenly heard two muffled groans, the two men in black who were approaching just now were pierced through the chest with a sword, and died instantly.

Shen Qingci was taken aback by seeing that movement and technique.

Sheng Tingye didn't even react when he was still grabbing her wrist.

Suddenly a few more people dressed like Qingyun appeared outside, raised their knives and dropped them, and the battle ended in a blink of an eye.

Although Shen Qingci breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

It's a good thing she didn't run away just now, otherwise...

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Sheng Tingye, "Aren't your people here?"

Sheng Tingye raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly: "When did I say they are gone?"

Shen Qingci: "..."

Therefore, his previous sentence - I am seriously injured, you still have time to escape, is clearly misleading her on purpose.

Want to test her reactions?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci couldn't help but glared at him.

Then she glanced down at his hand that was still clasping her wrist, "So, sir, is he going to take me down and ask for the answer?"

Sheng Tingye seemed to realize that he hadn't let go yet.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

When he looked up at Shen Qingci again, he had regained his composure, and let go of Shen Qingci's hand as if nothing had happened.

The fingertips that just touched the skin of her wrist still left some gentle and delicate touch, spreading along the fingertips all the way to the apex of her heart.

Immediately, there was a sharp pain in the dull chest.

Sheng Tingye didn't show anything wrong, he just said nonchalantly, "Are you poisonous?"

Not knowing why, Shen Qingci raised his hands and rubbed his ears, then stroked his sleeves, "I have hidden enchanting incense, Ruanjinsan, and Huaguwan, which one is your lord talking about?"

This time it was Sheng Tingye's turn to catch his breath.

He raised his eyebrows, and re-examined the daring woman in front of him, "So, you usually hide these things on your body?"

Shen Qing thought to himself: How can it be, isn't this to see you, my lord.

But on the face, she smiled brightly: "No, no, I'm just afraid that the thief Gu Qiuli will find him, so I should take some precautions in advance."

Qingyun and others quickly cleaned up the mess, and the carriage set off again.

Shen Qingci looked at the lazy and sickly person opposite, feeling puzzled, he seemed to be used to this scene.

Could it be that he knew in advance who was going to assassinate him?
Before Shen Qingci could think about it, Sheng Tingye's eyes turned and fell on her face.

"The General's Mansion can't handle even a little Gu Qiuli?"

Shen Qingci: "???"

She was confused, "What's the matter with the general's mansion?"

Could it be that he knew that he had a very close relationship with Qin Jiaojiao, so he was implying that he went to find Qin Jiaojiao?
The thought of dragging Qin Jiaojiao into the water... If she were to be entangled by this person, she would bring Qin Jiaojiao a lot of trouble.

Shen Qingci quickly denied: "I have nothing to do with the General's Mansion, my lord, please don't get me wrong!"

However, in Sheng Tingye's eyes, her hasty denial became a cover-up.

In addition, he had preconceived that she was Qin Jiaojiao, and then contacted Gu Qiuli to take her to Chu State.

Sheng Tingye even wondered if the state of Chu had kidnapped the daughter of General Qin, who was guarding the border, and was planning another big move.

Whether it is public or private, he can't ignore it.

Sheng Tingye raised his eyebrows: "Madam Qin returned to Beijing this time, why?"

When Shen Qingci heard it, he thought that he was really eyeing Qin Jiaojiao, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, but it's just to celebrate the old lady of the Qin family's birthday."

Sheng Tingye smiled coldly: "Oh."

Obviously don't believe it.

Shen Qingci gritted his teeth, and in order to pick Qin Jiaojiao clean, he had no choice but to continue: "Of course! The most important thing is to find a good husband-in-law for her girl, and come back for the sake of seeing each other."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingci thought for a while, "After all, she's not young anymore, and her family can't let her continue to mess around."

Sheng Tingye raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot."

The implication is that it must have an unusual relationship with her.

Shen Qingci: "..."

Why is she getting darker and darker!

Facing the man's penetrating eyes, Shen Qingci felt that it was wrong to say too much, so she chose to shut up.

Believe it or not, it's a big deal, she will talk to Gillian again later.

The two of them didn't speak any more, and the carriage suddenly fell silent, only the sound of horseshoes rattling in the long, empty street.

Shen Qingci couldn't figure out what was in his mind.

Whether he wants to arrest her or help her deal with Gu Qiuli, this person is unpredictable, and he will not give a definite answer.

She raised her hand just as she was about to open the curtain and ask where she was going.

The originally galloping carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

Qingyun reported to the car curtain: "Master, we're here."

Shen Qingci opened the curtain with his hand.

Outside was a dark alley with no lights on, and the carriage stopped at the door of a house.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Shen Qingci recognized at a glance that it was his house in Elm Lane.

She looked at the person sitting opposite in surprise, she hadn't said where she was yet.

How does he know?

However, thinking about it carefully, this person is so thoughtful, and after understanding the cause and effect of the matter, she can see that her thoughts are reasonable.

What's more, there must be his spies here.

"grown ups."

Before getting out of the car, Shen Qingci cleared his throat: "Are you here to help us?"

Don't come just to catch tassels.

Shen Qingci felt that it was necessary to ask clearly.

Sheng Tingye only glanced at her, and said in a cold and indifferent tone: "Even if I'm here to catch you, do you think you can escape now?"

Although the tone was as arrogant and conceited as ever, Shen Qingci's tense heartstrings were suddenly loosened by these words.

She changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book. Just now she was vigilant, but in an instant she put on a dog-legged smile: "Thank you, my lord! My lord, please."

Sheng Tingye only glanced at her lightly, said nothing, and got out of the carriage silently.

Qingyun has gone to call the door.

It was Qiuniang who came out to open the door.

Originally there were two cleaning women in the house, but when Shen Qingci asked Qiuniang to come over with tassels, he sent them back first.

If Gu Qiuli's people found this place, she didn't want to implicate two more innocent people.

"girl?"

Qiuniang saw Shen Qingci through the crack of the door, and then opened the courtyard door.

"How about tassels?"

Qiuniang looked at the long and tall figure beside Shen Qingci, "I just drank the medicine and fell asleep in a daze, do you want to wake him up?"

Just as Shen Qingci was about to say no, Sheng Tingye had already stepped into the yard, and ordered as if he was the master, "Lead the way."

Shen Qingci didn't know what he wanted to do with Liusu, but as he said, if he really wanted to arrest them now, she had absolutely no choice.

Therefore, instead of being twitchy, it's better to be generous and trust him once.

Qiuniang cast a questioning look at Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci nodded and explained: "This is Lord Lin of Dali Temple, who is here to help us."

At the end, she also reminded Qiuniang: "Is that the one I mentioned to you earlier?"

Qiuniang immediately understood the current situation.

She hurriedly stepped aside: "Master Lin, please."

A group of people followed Qiuniang into the back room.

Liusu was seriously injured, he was so vigilant as usual, but he still hadn't woken up with so many people in front of his window today.

Sheng Tingye stood in front of the bed, carefully sized Liusu's wound, and finally turned to Qing Yun who was following behind: "Where's the person?"

Qingyun quickly replied: "It should be here soon."

As soon as the voice fell, the wind outside the courtyard gradually tightened.

Two figures climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

One of them is Qing Yu, Sheng Tingye's subordinate who is best at tracking.

There was another person under his arm.

The man was blue-shirted and white-faced, handsome in appearance, but skinny, and looked in his prime, with particularly shrewd eyes.

"Slow down, Qingyu, slow down, my old bones are about to fall apart!"

As soon as he landed, he couldn't help complaining: "You kid is getting more and more insignificant!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Sheng Tingye: "My lord, you don't care about him!"

Sheng Tingye only glanced at him lightly: "See a doctor first."

The man immediately fell silent, turned his head and walked towards Tassel on the bed.

The waiting time was extremely long and difficult.

He carefully opened the tassel's wound, checked the pulse, and let out blood with a silver needle. After tossing for nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally let out a long sigh.

"My lord, it's Dongyi's secret technique."

"These common medicines can heal his injuries, but cannot save his life."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingci's legs almost went limp.

She stared blankly at the man sitting on the edge of the bed opposite.

For a moment, he was both worried about Liusu and also confused about him appearing here at this time.

From the moment he saw his face clearly, the turbulent waves in Shen Qingci's heart never stopped.

There is no other reason.

It's just that this person is her father's close friend, Lu Kui, the former head of the Imperial Hospital.

He used to be a frequent visitor to Jiang's Mansion, and studied medical skills with his father to the point where he even forgot to sleep and eat.

Shen Qingci was naturally impressed.

The reason why she was shocked was because he was involved in a murder case in the palace back then, not only lost his black hat, but even lost his life.

This incident caused a great disturbance, almost everyone in Beijing knew about it.

Her father was depressed for a long time because of this.

It was also after his accident that my father put away all the medical books and rarely showed his extraordinary medical skills in front of others.

Now, this person just appeared in front of his eyes?
Shen Qingci couldn't believe it.

How did he escape from such a big case back then?
How did he get on Lin Yue's boat?

Does her father know?
All of a sudden, many questions popped up in Shen Qingci's mind.

But in the end, she couldn't control anything else, and what cared most about her was the condition of tassels.

Shen Qingci suppressed the words Uncle Lu under his tongue, as if seeing him for the first time, said nervously: "Doctor, is there a way to save him?"

Lu Kui sighed, shook his head, sighed again, and shook his head again.

Shen Qingci's heart fluttered following his sighs.

In the end, Qingyu couldn't stand it any longer, and threw a walnut directly at him, hitting him on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

Lu Kui cried out in pain, and turned to look at Sheng Tingye: "My lord, take a look!"

Sheng Tingye glanced at Qingyu expressionlessly, and said without any ups and downs in his voice, "It's better to be gentle."

Qingyu, who was ready to be punished, couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and burst out laughing.

Lu Kui: "..."

He wanted to cry without tears.

Although Shen Qingci on the side was impatient, but after all, he had something to ask for, so he could only soften his tone and said: "Doctor, please save this child!"

Hearing this, Lu Kui changed his appearance just now.

He suddenly looked at Shen Qingci with a serious face: "You call him a child?"
