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

Chapter 258 Chapter 258
Yao Qingruan.

Thanks to Shen Qingci getting up late.

If it had been earlier, she would have bumped into Wang Baoqin's room.

Hearing the voice of the maid saluting outside the courtyard, Shen Qingci hurriedly tidied herself up, and lay back on the bed pretending to be sick.

Wang Baoqin usually got up early at this time, but it happened that because of Shen Qingci's soothing fragrance last night, she slept very deeply this time.

Yao Qingruan didn't meet Wang Baoqin at Yuan's side, out of concern, he hurried over to have a look.

Wang Baoqin, who was awakened by the maid's voice outside, didn't notice anything wrong last night.

Instead, seeing Yao Qingruan who came to look for her, and thinking of Shen Qingci in the next room, Wang Baoqin became nervous.

She ordered the two little maids arranged by Zhang's family to serve her in the yard, first invited Yao Qingruan to drink tea, and then she hurriedly packed up.

Thinking about the worries Shen Qingci said yesterday, Wang Baoqin dealt with Yao Qingruan a few words, and found an excuse to go to Shen Qingci's room.

"Qingqing."

Seeing that Shen Qingci was still lying on the bed, Wang Baoqin lowered his voice and asked concerned: "Are you okay?"

Shen Qingci hugged the quilt and shook his head, then raised his hand to point her in the direction where Yao Qingruan was outside.

Wang Baoqin understood, she sat down beside Shen Qingci's bed, and said in a low voice: "I'll go live with her in the Zhuangzi outside, if it can be delayed for a few days, you take care of yourself in the mansion."

Shen Qingci nodded, and said: "Be careful in everything."

Wang Baoqin smiled slightly: "What can I do, it's you. Although I don't know what you are going to do, I can see that it must be very dangerous."

"Wanwang take care of yourself."

With that said, she got up to leave.

Shen Qingci thought of something and quickly grabbed her sleeve.

"Miss."

Shen Qingci is pretending to be the maidservant next to Wang Baoqin.

There's nothing else about it, I'm afraid that someone from Qingzhou Wang's family will come.

After all, she is not the real maid Qingqing of the royal family.

Just ask the Wang family and you will know.

Although based on the time when Sheng Tingjing came to Yunzhou, he should only know that Wang Baoqin fled to Yunzhou privately when he was in Qingzhou, but he has not received the news that Wang Baoqin is staying at Zhang's house.

After all, in such bad weather, it would take more than ten days at the fastest to take the snow-capped mountain detour from Qingzhou to Yunzhou.

At that time, it had only been three or five days since Shen Qingci rescued Wang Baoqin and lived in Zhang's house.

Don't say that Sheng Tingjing didn't pay attention to the Wang family of Qingzhou at all, and was indifferent to Wang Baoqin's whereabouts. Said it will be more than half a month.

Shen Qingci was not worried at first, but he was afraid that something would happen in the middle of the journey.

Be careful.

That's why she wanted to remind Wang Baoqin.

After all, if the Wang family were to find them, Wang Baoqin would be the first person to meet. With her help, even if there was an accident, Shen Qingci would be able to cover it up.

As for why Shen Qingci didn't have such worries before, after all, it has been almost a month since Wang Baoqin missed the boat back to Qingzhou.

For so long, there has been no news or movement from the Wang family, and no one has been sent here. It is not just because of the bad weather and the road being blocked.

It is possible that Wang Qici and his wife still don't know that Wang Baoqin was in an accident, they just thought that she found that young master Xiao here... fearing that it would hurt the reputation of the Wang family, they dare not let people come to look for them with great fanfare.

It is also possible, because the reputation and integrity of local women are very important, and they were angry and decided to let Wang Baoqin to fend for itself outside...

Regardless of the possibility, if the Wang family wanted to find her, it should have come long ago.

Before, Shen Qingci didn't worry too much about this.

One is that there is plenty of time, and the other is that even if they find her and Wang Baoqin covers her up, the only thing they need to face in this family is the Yuan family. Naturally, the maid beside Wang Baoqin didn't pay much attention to it.

It's easy to fool around.

But now it is different.

Not to mention Sheng Tingjing who came out on the way, he also paid special attention to Shen Qingci.

Under his nose, if he happened to bump into someone from the Wang family...it would be easy to make a mistake.

Moreover, no matter what reason the Wang family didn't come to look for Wang Baoqin before, but based on Shen Qingci's understanding of Wang Qici and his wife, once they heard that Wang Baoqin is now renting at the Zhang family, and that Sheng Tingjing also came to the Zhang family, they would definitely Will not remain indifferent.

You know, even if it was just to climb the high branch of the third son of the Zhang family, they had persuaded Wang Baoqin to sacrifice his reputation and face.

What's more, Wang Baoqin is still living in Zhang's house.

How could they miss such a good opportunity to cling to the Zhang family.

Wang Baoqin is a smart person, and she understood Shen Qingci's words.

Wang Baoqin solemnly assured: "I know, don't worry."

Thinking of home, the emotions in her eyes became more and more complicated.

There is not only self-blame and guilt, but also uncontrollable disappointment and loneliness.

"Qingqing."

Before turning around to leave, Wang Baoqin hesitated, and finally handed Shen Qingci a note.

She had a look of shame on her face.

"This is the address given to me by Mr. Xiao...I know you are not like me, you have some skills, so...I...I want you to check it for me..."

"I know it's shameless, and it's presumptuous to make such a request. If it's inconvenient or will cause you trouble, forget it."

It doesn't matter whether she is delusional or obsessed, she has no other thoughts now, she just wants to know where that person is now, and whether he lied to her on purpose or out of helplessness.

She just wants an answer.

Shen Qingci took it over.

This is not difficult for her.

Wang Baoqin helped her so much, even if she didn't take the initiative to mention it, she would still help when it was about the Zhang family's affairs.

"Okay, I promise you."

Seeing her answering so readily, Wang Baoqin's eyes turned red, "Thank you."

Besides, she no longer knew what to say.

Yao Qingruan has been waiting outside for a long time, and there is no longer any delay.

Wang Baoqin said a few words, then turned and left the room.

Not long after, she packed up a few simple outfits and followed Yao Qingruan out of the courtyard.

Before Shen Qingci, who was pretending to be sick, got up, Sheng Tingjing sent someone to move her.

I don't know what that lunatic was thinking.

Maybe it was because he casually said in front of Lin Yunzheng that she was a concubine and didn't want to expose her, or maybe he just wanted to put her under his nose and torture her in different ways.

Sheng Tingjing actually arranged her in a courtyard separated from him by a wall.

Now Shen Qingci did not say that he conspired with Lin Yunzheng, even going to the big kitchen to find Zhuzi to deliver the news was not so easy.

Because around Ting Yuxuan where Sheng Tingjing lived, there were guards in the open and in the dark.

Outsiders can't come in, and Shen Qingci can't get out easily.

Her plan to wait for the opportunity to find Lin Yunzheng didn't work either.

Because he just stayed here, he heard that Sheng Tingjing took Lin Yunzheng out for a stroll early in the morning.

Sheng Tingjing was not there, Shen Qingci originally wanted to go to the big kitchen to see if there was any news.

Before she could leave the room, she was stopped by someone.

Without Sheng Tingjing's order, she couldn't go anywhere.

These guards are not like the servants of the Zhang family, they seem to be respectful to her, but in fact they do not give an inch.

Looking at that expression, it seemed that he really regarded Shen Qingci as Sheng Tingjing's concubine.

Moreover, she was still a concubine under house arrest.

Shen Qingci wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to act rashly for the sake of the overall situation.

But fortunately, everything is available in the house.

Shen Qingci had nothing else to do, so he took a pen and paper to draw a sketch.

She had seen the address of Young Master Xiao given by Wang Baoqin, it was just across the street from Yang Erniang's silk and satin village.

It was the street where Shen Qingci rescued Wang Baoqin that day.

It just so happened that during those days in Xiulou, when she was free, she was studying the maps of several key points in Yuncheng.

This includes around Yang Erniang Silk and Satin Village.

She memorized everything from Zhang Ji Tangshui shop at the corner of the street to Liu He Restaurant at the end of the back street.

But only he didn't have the slightest impression of the Xiao Mansion given by Wang Baoqin.

Shen Qingci picked up a pen, and quickly sketched out the sketch of the entire street from memory, and counted from the first house, counting and counting, there were only seventeen houses.

The house number of Ke Xiao Mansion is NO.18.

Recalling that Wang Baoqin brought the real Qingqing from door to door in that street to ask questions before, but she had never heard of a Xiao Mansion around here.

So, this address should be fake.

That being the case, it is not easy to find that person in this huge Yunzhou City.

Especially in these extraordinary times.

Even if you want to look for it, you have to wait for the Zhang family's affairs to settle.

Shen Qingci put down his pen and was thinking about where else to start, when he heard a somewhat familiar voice from outside.

It was the cook who stuffed her with a handful of candied fruit in the big kitchen that day, and others called her Mrs. Jiang.

This time she came to deliver lunch to Shen Qingci.

Although she was not an informant under Sheng Tingye's hands, Shen Qingci had a good impression of her.

Shen Qingci originally thought that even if he could not mention her to pass the secret letter, he could still send a few words to Zhuzi through her mouth.

Unexpectedly, even though they knew she was a cook, the guard at the door never let her in.

The small flame that had just risen in Shen Qingci's heart was instantly extinguished.

But in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Jiang said to the guard in a loud voice: "I heard from Zhuzi that Miss Qingqing mentioned a few days ago that she likes steamed buns stuffed with leeks the most, so she specially wrapped them for delivery. It's okay if I can't get in. But Miss Qingqing has to eat, right? The guard brother must help me send it in."

There was unabashed flattery in her tone.

When others heard this, they only thought she was trying to curry favor with Shen Qingci.

But Shen Qingci's eyes lit up when he heard it.

She never said such a thing to the pillar.

Contrary to what Mrs. Jiang said, the thing she dislikes the most is buns stuffed with chives.

This was what she accidentally mentioned when chatting with Yang Erniang on the night of New Year's Eve.

Then contact the pillar in charge of delivering the letter...

Shen Qingci couldn't help but raise his heart.

Soon, food boxes containing buns were brought in.

Although the guards outside the door checked tightly and did not let outsiders in, they were not to the point of carefully inspecting her meals.

The four steamed buns were placed intact on a small plate, and there was a bowl of gruel on the bottom layer.

After the guard left and Shen Qingci was the only one left in the room, she nervously tore open the bun in front of her.

First, second, third.

There are normal leek eggs inside, and there is nothing special about it.

The heart that Shen Qingci had already raised had fallen to the bottom.

She was about to think that she was thinking too much, but she still tore open the last one unwillingly.

Snapped!
A wax pellet the size of a thumb fell out and hit the desk.

At that moment, Shen Qingci felt his heart beat violently.

She hastily listened to the movement around her, and made sure that she did not attract the attention of the guards outside, so she quickly poked the wax pill with her fingertips.

Inside was a small, crumpled note.

The moment he saw the writing on it clearly, Shen Qingci couldn't help the tip of his nose sore, and almost burst into tears.

During the time in Xiulou, she read the secret letters and official documents he had annotated, and she was very familiar with the handwriting on them.

Although she had known from Lin Yunzheng the day before that he was safe in Qiankuling, but after more than half a month, she was still uncontrollably excited when she saw his handwritten letter again.

The above content is not far from what Lin Yunzheng said.

This letter was half a day earlier than Lin Yunzheng's departure from Qiankuling.

The letter told her that she had received her secret letter, and that Lin Yunzheng would come to Yunzhou City to hold Sheng Tingjing back. He told her to put her safety first.

If you can get away, try to get out as much as possible, and don't put yourself in danger.

Last time Shen Qingci mentioned Wu Zhu Qinghe and the heartless Gu in his mouth in the secret letter sent by Zhuzi.

Sheng Tingye should know, she already knew about him being poisoned.

But the above didn't mention anything about the Gu poison on him.

Shen Qingci couldn't help sighing.

"boom!"

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when Sheng Tingjing came to the door.

The moment the door was suddenly pushed open, Sheng Tingjing's eyes fell on Shen Qingci.

To be precise, it landed on the little note she was clutching!
Although the small note was facing away from Sheng Tingjing, the writing on it could not be seen from his angle.

But she hid in the room and quietly checked the small note, and there were a few buns that had been torn open in front of her... This behavior was already very suspicious.

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

She could even recognize Sheng Tingye's handwriting, as his deadly enemy, how could Sheng Tingjing not recognize it.

Shen Qingci almost subconsciously wanted to hide or destroy the note immediately.

No matter what price you pay, you can't let Sheng Tingjing see it!

But the more tense and dangerous the situation, the more calm she became, and her mind was spinning fast.

You can't just ruin it in front of him like this!
Sheng Tingjing was already suspicious by nature, not to mention that before he saw the handwriting on it clearly, she destroyed the note because there was no silver 300 taels here, which not only harmed herself, but also implicated Mrs. , the informant Zhuzi, even once Sheng Tingjing was called on guard, more clues were found to scare the snake away...

Sheng Tingjing's handsome face had the color of a vulture, and his gaze was like a poisonous snake, firmly locked between Shen Qingci's fingers.

"What are you looking at?"

While speaking, he walked quickly towards Shen Qingci who was a few steps away.

　Thank you Lan Lan.The reward, woo woo woo, wasted again, I deserve it.

　　Thank you all for your votes~
　　love you~
