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

Chapter 279 Chapter 279
Shen Qingci was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

But this fire has no way to rise, after all, what he said seems to be... yes.

Seeing that he was about to go out, Shen Qingci felt that Nian would not care about him for the time being because he suffered such a serious injury.

"Are you going to Thousand Cave Ridge?"

Seeing Sheng Tingye nodding, Shen Qingci remained silent.

"Your injury..."

It can be imagined that there is really no delay in such a big mess.

Shen Qingci could only advise: "Be careful."

Sheng Tingye had already changed his clothes, and said with a smile, "Why, can't you bear it? Madame wants to be with me?"

Shen Qing, who had been poked in his mind, turned his head away: "Not at all!"

Sheng Tingye closed his eyes, stepped forward and hugged her actively.

"It's freezing cold, Qiankuling is even worse, you can wait for me here with peace of mind."

"There's no danger this time, it's just finishing touches, don't worry."

He hadn't even intended to ask her to go with him.

Although Shen Qingci was worried about his injury, he also knew that he was not the kind of lucky bamboo that would collapse at the wind.

Since he was going, he must have already figured it out.

She just stayed here and waited for him.

"Two days at the earliest, three to five days at the latest."

Sheng Tingye hugged her tightly, rubbed her chin against the top of her hair, and reluctantly said, "Wait for me."

"Well, wait for you."

Shen Qingci nodded seriously, and sent him away with a smile.

The smile on her face finally collapsed when she got into the carriage and walked away, and could no longer see her.

He solved many doubts for her.

But there was another very important issue that neither of them mentioned.

The poison on his body.

He didn't take the initiative to bring it up, and Shen Qingci didn't pursue it.

This seemed to be a minefield that neither of them tacitly wanted to touch.

But it was because of this that Shen Qingci became more and more worried.

He knew that she already knew everything, but he didn't mention a word, which could only mean that he hadn't found a solution for the time being.

He was neither willing to lie to her nor to break her heart, otherwise, he would have told her long ago to ease her heart.

The wind and snow outside had stopped, and the sun was hidden behind the clouds, but the haze in Shen Qingci's heart did not decrease at all.

Nothing happened, she opened the door and walked out.

It was too late last night, and she didn't even look carefully at the surrounding scenery.

Looking around now, except for these wooden houses, the surrounding area is all cedar.

Seeing her come out, Ting Lan, who was waiting by the stove to boil medicine, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What is the princess' order?"

Shen Qingci shook her head, she glanced at the medicine that Tinglan was boiling: "For Baoqin?"

Ting Lan nodded: "Miss Baoqin's fever has gone down, and her spirit has improved a little bit, but her body is still weak and tight. I am not good at medicine, and I can't see any other symptoms. Just now, the prince left in a hurry. Otherwise, maybe you can ask the prince to diagnose it."

Shen Qingci remembered that Wang Baoqin was fine before, but after being frightened by Yao Wenbai this time, he became more and more depressed, "Could it be caused by excessive fright and anxiety?"

Ting Lan nodded her head: "Perhaps, this servant will try to calm down first."

Sheng Tingye came back in only three to five days, so you can ask him to have a look again.

Shen Qingci didn't say any more.

Ting Lan took her for a walk around the wooden house, and pointed her to places with traps and formations, and Shen Qingci wrote them down one by one.

There was just one thing that surprised her.

Yao Qingruan is also here.

It was sent over early this morning, and Shen Qingci was still sleeping at that time.

After Yunzhou City was taken by Lin Yunzheng yesterday, all the family members of the Zhang family and the Yao family have been detained and will be sent to Beijing for trial in a few days.

As the first daughter of the Yao family, Yao Qingruan is no exception.

But Yue Qi asked Sheng Tingye for a favor in advance.

The successful completion of the overall plan this time was due to Yue Qi's contribution, and Sheng Tingye had promised him from the beginning.

He begged Yao Qingruan from Sheng Tingye.

So, early this morning, someone directly tied him up from the dungeon in Yunzhou City and brought him over.

At this time, it is in the north ear room.

However, as the prostitute of the Yao family, Yao Qingruan would be implicated no matter what and could not escape the responsibility.

Therefore, from now on, Yao Qingruan, the daughter of the Yao family, is gone.

If she wants to live, she must use another identity.

But after all, this is the grievance between Yue Qi and Yao Qingruan, and Sheng Tingye has already promised, and Shen Qingci didn't bother to think about it.

After turning around, the medicine on the stove was almost boiled, and Shen Qingci personally delivered it to Wang Baoqin from Westinghouse.

As Ting Lan said, Wang Baoqin's fever has subsided, and she looks much better than yesterday, but her complexion is very bad.

When Shen Qing resigned and went in, she was sitting by the window in a daze.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, and seeing that it was Shen Qingci who came, finally there was some freshness in her confused eyes.

"princess."

Wang Baoqin was about to stand up to greet her, but Shen Qingci stopped her.

"How are you feeling today?"

Seeing the decoction brought by Shen Qingci, Wang Baoqin nodded, "It's much better, the princess doesn't have to worry about it."

Shen Qingci handed her the soup, and after she finished drinking, he casually chatted, "What were you thinking about just now? So engrossed."

Wang Baoqin sighed, "I've been out for a while, and with so many things happening recently, I don't know how my family is doing now."

Although she said she had Shen Qingci's guarantee, but after all, it was such a big matter, and the Wang family would definitely be in chaos, so how could she feel at ease.

Of course Shen Qingci could understand her mood.

She didn't know Sheng Tingye's plan before, and thought that after a few days the weather would warm up and the riverside crossing would open, and they would be able to return to Qingzhou together.

But right now, it seems that Sheng Tingye "can't leave" for a while, and the news that he is still alive has not yet been released.

Even she will be trapped here for a while.

Shen Qingci could only comfort her first and said: "When the ferry is over, I will find a suitable time to send you back first."

Hearing this, Wang Baoqin hurriedly stood up again to express her thanks.

Since revealing her true identity, she has become more and more cautious when facing Shen Qingci, and Shen Qingci can no longer talk to her properly.

But this is also human nature, Shen Qingci does not force it.

She sat with Wang Baoqin for a while, and was about to go back, but suddenly heard a small exclamation.

Someone was calling Ting Lan.

At this time, Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin were sitting by the window, just in time to see Ting Lan running over nervously from under the eaves.

The sound seemed to come from the north house.

Shen Qingci seldom saw Ting Lan showing such a dignified expression, and with Yao Qingruan at the north room, Shen Qingci subconsciously stood up.

Wang Baoqin, who didn't know why, also stood up, and said nervously: "What's wrong? What happened?"

She was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, except for the experience of coming to Qingzhou to find Mr. Xiao for the first time, her life for more than ten years has almost been peaceful and smooth.

It was only in the past few days with Shen Qingci in Yunzhou that he experienced so many adventures and excitements.

She must have been shocked too, so when she heard the movement outside, Wang Baoqin couldn't stop trembling all over.

"I don't know."

Shen Qingci shook his head, then thought that Wang Baoqin and Yao Qingruan were old acquaintances, and now they live together under the same roof, which is considered a special fate, so it doesn't hurt to go and have a look.

She briefly explained Yao Qingruan's situation before asking her, "Would you like to go and have a look?"

Wang Baoqin's face was pale, and her body was a little unsteady, but when she heard that it was Yao Qingruan, she nodded and said, "Okay."

The two went to the north room one after the other.

Although Shen Qingci already had guesses in her heart when she heard the movement just now, but she was still a little surprised when she saw the situation in the north room.

At this time, Yue Qi, who was wearing a black blouse, fell to the ground with his back leaning against the door panel, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and he was bleeding continuously.

Ting Lan, who had already heard the news, was half-kneeling beside him, cutting off his shirt with quick hands and feet, preparing to clean the wound.

Yue Qi's complexion was as pale as paper, but she stared at Yao Qingruan who was curled up in a corner not far away without blinking.

She is no longer as dignified and delicate as before. She walked through the dungeon once. At this time, her clothes were dirty, her hair was a little messy, and her blood-stained hands couldn't stop shaking. She herself did not expect that she would kill.

"You are not...not cousin Cheng...you...who are you...why do you want to kill us!"

At the beginning, her voice was like her hands, trembling uncontrollably, but the last half of the sentence was full of resentment.

But Yue Qi was not angry because of this, he turned his head and looked at Shen Qingci who was following him pleadingly: "Please... don't hurt... her..."

Yue Qi still wanted to say something, but his body couldn't hold it anymore. After saying this, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and passed out directly.

Seeing this, Shen Qingci looked at Ting Lan nervously: "How is he?"

Ting Lan shook her head, her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs, "It hurts too much...I don't know...I'm not sure..."

Here Ting Lan alone knows medical skills, Shen Qingci has no other choice but to call someone to carry Yue Qi to the bed in the next room together, and cooperate with Ting Lan to rescue him.

Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin, who couldn't help, were guarding Yao Qingruan in the next room.

After Yue Qi passed out, no emotion could be seen on Yao Qingruan's dirty face, she just folded her arms and curled up in the corner trembling.

"Who the hell are you? Why did my nice home become like this?"

Her voice trembled with endless grief and indignation.

Wang Baoqin, who wanted to come forward to comfort her, got stuck in her throat, and she didn't know where to start, and in fact, she could be regarded as the "accomplice" that caused Yao Qingruan to be like this now.

Wang Baoqin turned to look at Shen Qingci.

After all, this is the entanglement between Yao Qingruan and Yue Qi. Shen Qingci didn't want to get involved, but now seeing Yue Qi being stabbed by Yao Qingruan is uncertain, but Yao Qingruan has no knowledge and is blinded by hatred , and even hated Yue Qi deeply, Shen Qingci couldn't stand it.

No matter how Yao Qingruan chooses in the end, at least she should be informed.

Shen Qingci looked at Yao Qingruan, and said calmly: "Do you know what crimes your Yao family and Zhang family committed?"

Yao Qingruan was very well protected since she was a child, and she almost never asked or worried about the general affairs of the family.

All she knew was that yesterday she was still the eldest daughter of the Yao family who was embraced by the noble status, but overnight, the situation changed suddenly, and the originally pampered noble daughter was reduced to a lowly prisoner.

The servants who were imprisoned in the same dungeon as her were crying. They said that Zhang Yao and Zhang Yao were conspiring against each other and would be punished by the nine clans.

She also heard someone cry and complain that it was because Zhang Jincheng, the third son of the Zhang family, had plotted against the Zhang Yao family.

And that man originally wanted to talk to her about marrying her cousin, how could she accept it.

In addition, being taken out of the dungeon and taken here early in the morning, she was shocked and afraid. When she met him again, she asked him if he caused all this, and he did not deny it. Yao Qingruan, who was extremely sad and angry, As soon as his brain got hot, he rushed forward and drew the dagger worn by his waist...

Seeing her expression, Shen Qingci reckoned that she didn't know much.

She sighed and continued: "The Yao and Zhang families colluded to raise private soldiers and dig private mines. That step, these are definitely not wronging them, and punishing them for several crimes is also tantamount to treason."

"I know you are innocent, but since you have enjoyed the glory and wealth provided by the Yao family and the Zhang family who trampled on these numerous crimes, you should have the awareness that you should bear the responsibility for the Yao family's overthrow. The law is here."

"You hate Yue Qi. It is true that Yue Qi made an internal response, which made it easier for the court to obtain evidence. But you ask yourself, if the Yao and Zhang families didn't take the blame, how could Yue Qi frame them?"

Shen Qingci has read the dramas and story books in the past, and he hates the idiots and resentful women in the dramas most. They either open their mouths less, or they have less tendencies. The entanglement of nine bends and eighteen bends.

She looks at Yue Qi's boring gourd now, which is almost the same.

So, now that the words have come to this point, Shen Qingci simply said: "From your standpoint, there is nothing wrong with hating him, but you can't transfer all the guilt and hatred of Zhang Yao's family to him."

"Yu Gong, it's not all his fault for sneaking into Zhang's house as an internal response, it's just a different stand."

"Yu Si, he saved you twice."

"Think about it calmly, if it wasn't for the grace he asked for to rescue you, what would have happened to you?"

Based on the current criminal evidence of Zhang and Yao's family, even if they don't lose their heads, the lightest punishment for Yao Qingruan is to be a slave and a prostitute.

Even if he survived by luck, his fate would be worse than death.

Where is it like now, giving her a chance to assassinate him in close quarters.

After listening to Shen Qingci's words, Yao Qingruan suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it.

She was silent for a long time before she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "You said it twice?"

Shen Qingci raised his eyebrows: "In the inn, you saw that mask before, and asked my husband if he had been to Suizhou. I have already checked it. It was Yue Qi who wore that mask and rescued you in Suizhou. .”

As soon as the words fell, Yao Qingruan suddenly fell to the ground, her eyes were full of disbelief, she couldn't believe it.

"how is this possible……"

She murmured: "How could it be him..."

Shen Qingci sighed: "Whether it is true or not, when he wakes up, you will know the details by yourself."

Of course, the premise is that Yue Qi can wake up safely.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci turned around and looked up at the gradually rising sun.

For Yao Qingruan, it was full of blood debt and hatred, even if Yue Qi had saved her life, it must be difficult to let go of it.

Shen Qingci didn't want to say more about right and wrong, but she felt that Yao Qingruan shouldn't be kept in the dark because Yue Qi had done so much for her.

As for how to make a choice, that is her business.

Shen Qingci didn't speak, Wang Baoqin was also silent, the only sound in the small room was Yao Qingruan's heart-piercing weeping.

I don't know how long it took before she finally spoke again.

"Will he... be okay?"

Shen Qingci didn't say a word, it just so happened that Ting Lan's low voice came from the next room.

Shen Qingci hurried over.

When Yao Qingruan heard the movement, she hurriedly tried to get up and follow, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

She could only hold the door frame tightly, looked at Shen Qingci with tears in her eyes, and asked helplessly, "Is he going to be okay?"

Shen Qingci couldn't answer these words.

In the next room, Ting Lan was already sweating profusely.

Hearing the sound of Shen Qingci's footsteps coming in, she suddenly raised her head, choked up and said, "Princess, I can't stop the bleeding... I'm afraid Brother Yue Qi is... I'm afraid it won't work..."

Shen Qingci's heart also sank.

"Is there no other way?"

Ting Lan shook her head, and blamed herself again: "I'm not good at medicine, maybe there is another way to find the prince, besides the prince, Doctor Yang who accompanied me is also in Qiankuling..."

Even if someone is invited to come here, Yue Qi can't afford to wait here.

Shen Qingci said decisively: "Prepare the car, let's go to Qiankuling immediately."

There is no way the people below should not respond to her orders.

Soon the carriage was ready.

There was nothing left and right, Shen Qingci also stepped into the carriage and followed.

When he turned his head and saw Wang Baoqin with an uneasy expression, Shen Qingci waved: "Let's go together."

It happened that Wang Baoqin also needed to see a doctor.

They brought along Ting Lan, Wang Baoqin, and eight hidden guards on horseback, leaving a few people here to guard more than enough.

The carriage set off quickly and galloped along the forest path through the snow.

Along the way, Ting Lan's hands were pressing on the wound on Yue Qi's chest that was still bleeding out.

Xu was extremely nervous and worried, and Ting Lan, who was calm and calm in the past, also began to chant uncontrollably.

"Brother Yueqi, you must hold on!"

"It's not easy for you to come to today, you can't just disappear like this..."

"Miss Yao is like this now, if you let go of her, what will happen in the future? Are you at ease?"

Shen Qingci didn't know that Ting Lan and Yue Qi had such a good relationship at first, but after asking, he found out that Ting Lan was the little beggar who was rescued by Yue Qi when he was on a mission.

Later, after training, he was sent to the palace as an informant.

Because of the grace of saving her life, coupled with all these years of care, Ting Lan is different to Yue Qi.

Seeing Yue Qi's paler and paler complexion, Shen Qingci was also worried, wishing that the carriage could grow wings and fly directly to Qianku Ridge.

But sometimes the more people think about something, the more things get in their way.

Before they could pass through the cedar forest, they suddenly heard a sharp bird cry.

Immediately, the guard driving the car exclaimed, and the galloping carriage suddenly stopped abruptly.

The few people in the carriage couldn't control their bodies and threw them forward.

Thanks to Shen Qingci's sharp eyesight and quick hands, she raised her foot and stepped on the car frame, grabbed the other side of the car frame with one hand, used her body as a raft to block the door, and at the same time picked up Wang Baoqin who was thrown out.

Ting Lan had time to stay close, although the incident happened suddenly, but with Shen Qingci as a block, she quickly stabilized herself and Yue Qi.

I just don't know how the galloping carriage suddenly stopped.

Before everyone in the carriage could think about it, the guard driving the carriage said in a low voice, "Someone is blocking the way."

This road is very secret, and their formation is not small, who will appear here to intercept?

Before Shen Qingci retracted his hands and feet and turned his head to look, Wang Baoqin, who had already opened the curtain of the car, suddenly turned pale as paper.

Before Shen Qingci asked, she was surprised and delighted and said: "Young Master Xiao!"

However, upon hearing this, Shen Qingci's heart sank.

It may not be a good thing to meet at this time.

　There is a foreshadowing of Mr. Xiao's identity, has anyone guessed who it is?
