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

Chapter 249 Chapter 249
Something was wrong with her body.

It's not just because of suddenly learning about Sheng Tingye's Gu poison.

But really uncomfortable.

This feeling was only felt when she was poisoned before.

It was only then that Shen Qingci realized that Qing He was already proficient in various witchcraft techniques, even if he was mutilated like this, he shouldn't be underestimated.

The reason Gu Qiuli was able to make him look like this was because Gu Qiuli knew the Dongyi clan well.

But now, they obviously underestimated the enemy.

Shen Qingci moved her fingertips, even though her body could resist ordinary poison, she was still a little weak right now.

But Sheng Tingjing was still immersed in the ecstasy of Sheng Tingye's dying.

There was no sign of impending danger.

For Shen Qingci, it may only be a matter of time before this poison is unraveled, but for Sheng Tingjing it may be fatal.

Although this person deserves to die, he shouldn't die at this time.

Not to mention, once he died, she could hardly absolve herself of the blame, and whether she could escape safely, even Sheng Tingye might be implicated.

After all, Shen Qingci still doesn't know the purpose of the emperor sending Sheng Tingjing to Yunzhou.

I don't even know if the sage had originally planned to pull out the Zhang family and kill Sheng Tingjing.

After all, he was also the son he once loved.

But let him die in Yunzhou like this, and Sheng Tingye, who is in charge of thoroughly investigating the case, will not only escape punishment, but will also have the impression of killing his brothers and feet on the saint.

This was almost a fatal blow to Sheng Tingye's road to succession.

Even if it wasn't for Sheng Tingjing's life, but for himself and Sheng Tingye, Shen Qingci couldn't just sit idly by.

She was about to remind her aloud, but she saw that Qing He suddenly turned her head and "looked" in the direction of Shen Qingci.

For a moment, Shen Qingci felt a trace of confusion and astonishment appearing on his face where no facial features could be seen anymore.

The next moment, I saw him say in a hoarse voice: "Just now I said that seeing is believing..."

At that moment, Shen Qingci's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Without hesitation, she strode forward, trying to block Sheng Tingjing, and shouted to Yang Yi who hadn't reacted yet: "His blood is poisonous!"

Shouted by Shen Qingci, Sheng Tingjing and Yang Yicai woke up like a dream.

Yang Yi is the closest to Qinghe.

Before Qinghe finished his sentence, he kicked Qinghe's remnant body far away.

With a muffled bang, it hit the door panel.

But instead of crying out in pain, Qinghe laughed out loud.

"Don't think I don't know Liu'er is dead!"

"You all have to be buried with Liu'er!"

"All have to die!"

With the last words shouted, his remaining body suddenly exploded.

Fragmented corpses scattered everywhere.

A thick blood mist instantly filled the room.

But fortunately, Shen Qingci reminded him in time that after kicking Qinghe away, Yang Yi dragged Sheng Tingjing and jumped towards the window.

Although Shen Qingci had already reacted, but because of his status, he had to act a little slower.

Although she failed to escape from the house, luckily she dragged something in front of her in a panic.

So as not to drench all over the face with blood.

When she jumped out of the window, she realized that what she was holding was actually the sack that contained Qinghe before.

Shen Qingci threw away the sack and turned to look at Sheng Tingjing.

At this time, Sheng Tingjing's face was indescribably ugly.

Faced with Shen Qingci's timely reminder, instead of his attitude improving at all, he looked at her with even colder and more ruthless eyes.

"how do you know?"

After all, even Yang Yi, who was standing in front of Qinghe, hadn't reacted yet.

When Sheng Tingjing questioned this sentence, Yang Yi had already bent down and knelt on the ground.

Shen Qingci had already thought up his speech before he reminded him aloud.

She narrowed her eyes and said: "The slave girl used to work in the bodyguard agency, ran across the hall, and her sense of smell is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people."

"The maidservant couldn't understand what the man said just now, so she focused on looking at him, and then found a strange smell in the room, and it wasn't coming from the sachet in the prince's hand."

Shen Qingci's words were ingenious.

Not only said that he did not understand the secret that Sheng Tingjing had just talked with Qinghe, but also reminded Sheng Tingjing that he ignored those side details because he was too involved, which proved that she, a maid, was an outsider. The reason why he reacted faster than him and Yang Yi.

But Sheng Tingjing's complexion still didn't improve.

Even with Yang Yi protecting him in time, he was still stained with a lot of blood.

Even that overly glamorous face was covered with traces of blood.

Coupled with his gloomy eyes, it makes people feel more uncertain, hideous and terrifying.

He raised his hand suddenly, and directly grabbed Shen Qingci's neck.

"It's not the king's turn to save a lowly maid like you!"

I don't know what he's going crazy about.

Obviously Shen Qingci has been cleared of the suspicion, and he doesn't seem to have discovered the clue.

But at that moment, there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

This is the second time he has murderous intentions towards Shen Qingci.

But this time, there was no Wang Baoqin pleading for mercy.

Shen Qingci's neck was completely red.

She looked at Sheng Tingjing with teary eyes and fear.

"My lord... forgive me..."

Unexpectedly, meeting her eyes made Sheng Tingjing's murderous intent even more intense.

Just when Shen Qingci was already thinking of a way out for himself, Sheng Tingjing who was cold and ruthless just now wanted to strangle her to death suddenly let go of his hand.

She was thrown to the ground.

But the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, but there was a smile that was not a smile: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I'm afraid I will kill you if I can't control it."

Hearing this, the tense strings in Shen Qingci's heart suddenly loosened.

It seemed that he had no intention of killing her.

At least, not now.

But even so, staying with such a person made Shen Qingci not dare to take it lightly.

Such a loud commotion in the house had already disturbed the guards waiting outside the courtyard.

However, before they got to the front, a few masked men in black suddenly jumped out from nowhere, and went straight to kill Sheng Tingjing.

Not only Sheng Tingjing, but even Shen Qingci was shocked by this change.

Is Sheng Tingjing guilty of Tai Sui?
How come he met an assassin just after arriving in Yunzhou?

He even used a soft sedan to cover his entry into Zhang's house, which shows that this business came in secret.

How did these assassins attack him immediately after he had just arrived and encountered such a thing as Qing He?

It is said that they had seen Sheng Tingjing's whereabouts in advance. If they wanted to kill Sheng Tingjing, shouldn't it be on his way to Yunzhou?

Even Mrs. Yuan said that this road is covered with heavy snow and steep cliffs, which is extremely dangerous.

If we set up an ambush halfway... would it be far better than assassinating in this house?
Why do we have to wait for him to arrive in Yunzhou...

This idea just popped up, cold sweat broke out down Shen Qing's spine after he resigned.

She suddenly realized that these assassins came to kill Sheng Tingjing, but they were also targeting Sheng Tingye!

Just like what she thought when facing Qing He's ultimate move.

Sheng Tingjing cannot die in Yunzhou.

Not to mention dying in the hands of Sheng Tingye!
In just a short moment, many thoughts and interests had already rolled through Shen Qingci's mind.

And her steps didn't delay at all. When she sensed the assassin's action, she would "go through life and death" for him just as she had promised Sheng Tingjing before.

She stood in front of Sheng Tingjing, clenched her fist with her uninjured hand, as if she wanted to hurt Sheng Tingjing and step over her corpse first.

The moment he inadvertently turned his head and swept towards Sheng Tingjing, Shen Qingci saw a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Yang Yi has already drawn his sword to meet the enemy.

There were no more than four guards outside the Shengtingjing courtyard.

There are seven or eight assassins.

And these people's skills don't seem to be weaker than his personal guards.

But fortunately, they were still able to withstand the attack of these men in black, and protected Sheng Tingjing at the end, without being affected by the slightest shadow of swords and swords.

As long as there is a little more delay, even if Sheng Tingjing's hidden guards don't arrive in time, the Zhang family's guarding guards will also arrive.

Shen Qingci stared at the situation nervously and tremblingly.

Even in this situation, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and he still had that cowardly and humble appearance.

Sheng Tingjing's subordinates and assassins came and went, and there were casualties.

There were even many times when that sword move was picked in front of Sheng Tingjing, but luckily Yang Yi stopped it in time.

Seeing the sound of footsteps approaching outside the courtyard, reinforcements have arrived!

Shen Qingci secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Sheng Tingjing's guards also relaxed because of this.

But at this very moment, something happened suddenly.

A man in black suddenly jumped over Yang Yi's knife net, and stabbed straight at Sheng Tingjing's chest with his long sword.

But at this time, Yang Yi, who was closest to Sheng Tingjing, was already old in his moves, and it was already half a step too late to raise his knife.

Looking at the long sword from a distance, it was only three feet away from Sheng Tingjing, and judging by the momentum, Sheng Tingjing's blood was bound to splatter on the spot!
Shen Qingci who was standing beside Sheng Tingjing even hesitated for a moment.

Do you want to rescue Sheng Tingjing?

After all, this trick is not something ordinary people can block.

It will inevitably expose her body skills and kung fu.

This is not something an ordinary girl in the Escort can do.

But before Shen Qingci came to a conclusion, there was a sudden sharp pain in her arm.

But it turned out that Sheng Tingjing directly dragged her over and used her as a shield to block him.

Shen Qingci: "..."

This dog thing!
She had a chance to fight back.

But almost in an instant, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the archer on the roof not far away, ready to go.

Shen Qingci resisted subconsciously wanting to make a move, and decided to take a gamble.

Of course, her body also pretended to be trembling in panic, and calmly avoided the vital point that the sword was stabbing at.

Ding!
A sharp weapon resounded in front of his eyes.

Then the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh sounded.

At the critical moment, the long sword that was supposed to pierce a hole in her was missed by an arrow feather, almost brushing Shen Qingci's arm away.

The assassin's long sword was only delayed for an instant, and Yang Yi's sword had already reached his back.

The sound of the sword piercing the flesh was made by the assassin.

Pfft!
With a muffled sound, his body fell straight down.

Shen Qingci, whose heartstrings were tense to the extreme, finally dared to exhale this breath.

Fortunately, she bet right.

Hearing Sheng Tingjing's tone before, he didn't intend to kill her.

So, the moment he saw the archer who was ready to go not far away, Shen Qingci, who instinctively wanted to avoid it, suddenly realized, could this be another temptation by Sheng Tingjing?
Let's see if she will be willing to work for him as she said before life and death, and will she hide.

See if she is hiding her skills or has other purposes.

Thanks to Shen Qingci's sharp eyes and quick reaction.

Otherwise...she was tricked again!

Faced with Sheng Tingjing's successive temptations, Shen Qingci was almost physically and mentally exhausted.

And just so, as a little maid, she should also be "overly frightened".

So Shen Qingci's legs went limp, and he slumped on the ground.

Beside her was the dead body of the assassin who had fallen to the ground.

The few remaining assassins were quickly dealt with by the dark guards who arrived.

Sheng Tingjing looked down at Shen Qingci, and said with disdain between his eyebrows: "Look at your worthless appearance."

Sheng Tingjing snorted coldly, his face full of mockery.

Shen Qingci originally thought that he would not talk to him anymore, after all, he had more important things to do in front of him.

But who would have thought that he actually bent down towards Shen Qingci.

His body smelled of the best agarwood fragrance, and there was also a hint of extravagance and pomp mixed in it.

As he got closer, the scent became more intense.

It made Shen Qingci's scalp tingle and his stomach queasy.

But right now, he could only hold back his words, and had to meet his face that was getting closer and larger.

Although I don't know what this dog thing is going to do.

But this feeling made Shen Qingci very uncomfortable.

She tried her best to squeeze out a flattering smile: "This servant has never seen anything in the world, so he has nothing to do with it."

But before she could fully burst into that smile, Sheng Tingjing pinched her chin.

Shen Qingci pretended to be terrified, and looked at him with fear in his eyes.

But this time, Sheng Tingjing didn't intend to strangle her to death.

He grabbed her chin with one hand, but stroked her cheek with the other.

When Qinghe's accident happened before, although Shen Qingci put on the sack in time, his cheeks were still inevitably stained with some blood.

Seeing Sheng Tingjing's eyes like this, Shen Qingci was really flustered for a moment.

There is nothing next to it.

She was afraid that Qinghe's blood would hurt her mask, and let Sheng Tingjing see the flaws!

Therefore, Sheng Tingjing got so close at this time, and stared at her face so intently, which made Shen Qingci more uneasy.

But fortunately, this unease did not last long.

Because soon, she saw Sheng Tingjing smile suddenly.

He stroked Shen Qingci's bloody cheek with his cold fingertips, and said with a half-smile: "Don't laugh, you won't look like her when you smile."

Shen Qingci: "..."

After holding a breath of fear and fear for a long time, it turned out that it was because of this!

Shen Qingci never imagined that one day she could be used as her own substitute.

Even because of a smile, you have to be restricted!

Looking at the cloudy and uncertain face so close at hand, Shen Qingci just wanted to scold... a lunatic, a stinking beast, a dog.

But she just dared to curse in her heart.

On the face, she immediately suppressed that flattering and obedient smile, and looked at Sheng Tingjing with a straight face.

Sheng Tingjing stroked her eyebrows with his fingers, and smiled faintly: "That's right."

After finishing speaking, he got up, turned to look at the group of assassins who had no one left alive, and said sadly: "You want my king's life just because of this little trick?"

But as soon as the words fell, his face suddenly sank.
