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

Chapter 282 Chapter 282
Wang Baoqin only knew that Jiang Yuwan accidentally fell into the water, but looking at Shen Qingci's expression now, could it be that there is something hidden in it?

Shen Qingci didn't make a fool of himself, and said bluntly: "Jiang Yuzhi and Xiao Wang's mother and daughter murdered him."

"hiss……"

Wang Baoqin gasped.

How can it be? !
Although she was not close to Jiang Yuwan before, she also knew that Xiao Wang treated Jiang Yuwan very well, even more than her own daughter.

As for Jiang Yuzhi...

Ever since Wang Baoqin had seen her face after gaining power, she was not so surprised to hear this.

Shen Qingci sighed, turned towards the car door, and pointed out: "So, you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart!"

"Bao Qin has to keep her eyes open in the future, don't be fooled by those cats and dogs."

Wang Baoqin was still immersed in the surprise that Shen Qingci was Jiang Yuwan for a moment, but when she heard her scold Gu Qiuli like this, she couldn't help but smile knowingly after crying all day and night, and echoed: "Yes, I know everyone knows I don't know my face."

Outside the carriage, Gu Qiuli didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood.

The carriage continued to move forward, and finally stopped in front of an inn at noon.

Gu Qiuli let them get out of the car and set off again after lunch.

Although it was a joke before, neither Shen Qingci nor Wang Baoqin dared to drink more water, because they were afraid that this person would not let them out if there was a real emergency.

It was like this for the next two days.

Except when stopping at an inn or tavern for dinner, the carriage almost never stopped.

Hurry up slowly, and finally arrived at Miaochuan Wharf at noon on the third day.

The weather here is much warmer than in Yunzhou, and the river is not frozen, so the ferry is not affected.

Crossing Miaochuan means that regardless of the boundaries, Gu Qiuli can travel almost unimpeded when entering Chu State again.

While waiting for the boat, Gu Qiuli took the two of them to a restaurant by the pier for dinner.

The lobby was full of voices.

Due to the special geographical location, most of the vendors come and go in Miaochuan.

Therefore, the news in this area is also very well-informed.

When Shen Qingci and the others were having dinner, someone mentioned the queen of Chu State today.

"Hey! I don't know if you've heard that, the queen of Chu is about to die."

"How come? Isn't that guy in his prime? Where did you get the news from?"

"I just sent a cart of furs to the Sun family back from Chu State, and now it's spread all over Chu State, how can it be fake?"

"I've heard about it too. It's said that he was seriously ill. A few days ago, he hurriedly summoned his nephew, who has been out of fifth service, to attend to the sick."

"It's a pity that I didn't even get married, and I couldn't leave a son and a half daughter. It's a pity that even the prince has to look for him outside Wufu."

"If you want to say that this female monarch is really amazing, she has done what she is doing today with the respect of a female. In the past, if we went to Chu to sell goods, if we didn't rely on the strength of the bodyguards, I'm afraid we would all go empty. In the past few years, the livelihood of Chu people has been stable, and the banditry has gradually disappeared."

"It's just a woman, what else can I do, let me tell you, it's not because of those men in the court."

As soon as the words came out, someone immediately became unhappy: "What's wrong with the woman, she can be the emperor, you are so capable, why didn't I see you?"

As soon as the words fell, the diners who were chattering just now roared with laughter.

Amidst the bursts of laughter and discussions, Shen Qingci felt various emotions in his heart.

That queen...she should be called aunt.

She is also the person who is connected with her blood in this world.

Even if she changed her shell, she was still Jiang Yuwan.

Coupled with the fact that she has heard so many of her remarkable political achievements intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Qingci naturally does not want such a powerful aunt to have an accident.

After hearing the gossip, Shen Qingci put down the teacup and looked up at Gu Qiuli who was sitting opposite.

"They said it, but it's true?"

These days, she was trapped in Yunzhou City, and the news was a bit blocked. Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened in Chu State.

Gu Qiuli paused holding the hand holding the teacup, and said expressionlessly: "As far as I know, it's really not going to happen soon."

Hearing this answer, Shen Qingci's eyelids twitched and his heart felt numb.

Although I don't know his specific identity, he must be inextricably related to the Chu royal family.

No matter what, his words were more reliable than what was circulated among these common people.

Shen Qingci frowned: "Why so suddenly?"

If she remembered correctly, the female monarch should not be in her forties, and she is still young.

Moreover, there were rumors about her poor health before, but that was before she came to the throne.

It is said that she has been in poor health since she was a child, and she was not exposed to the evil spirit of the Tian family, so she has been fostered in a Taoist temple outside the palace.

Later, as her elder brother, the first emperor of Chu State died, and the royal family of Chu State had no successors, so they had to invite her back again.

And she has been in power for so many years, and there has been no news of her poor health.

Now that the land of Chu is clean and the river is clear, she suddenly became seriously ill.

Not to mention sudden.

Gu Qiuli took a sip of tea, and under the gaze of Shen Qingci, he breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Qingci and said, "It's just that it's not serious illness, but poisoning."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Now that the female monarch has already monopolized the power, who can poison her?
Moreover, why does Gu Qiuli know so clearly?

As if seeing Shen Qingci's confusion, Gu Qiuli curled his lips into a smile: "Want to know?"

"If you follow me to Chu State, all your questions will be answered."

This is like saying nothing.

Shen Qingci couldn't help giving him a blank look, but he couldn't let go of it after thinking about it, so he asked: "Then can my blood save it?"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Qiuli sneered.

"You want to save her?"

Hearing these words and asking back, Shen Qingci's heart instantly turned cold.

Obviously, judging from his attitude, not only did Gu Qiuli not come here for the queen, but it is more likely that he has an unforgettable hatred for her.

Even if Shen Qingci's blood could save him, he would definitely not let her save him.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci's fingers subconsciously clenched the teacup, she raised her eyebrows and said: "You are not in the same group as the poisoner, are you?"

Among other things, since Gu Qiuli was so vicious towards her even though he knew her true identity, he should not belong to the female monarch's school.

Not to mention his attitude when he just mentioned the female monarch.

All in all, no matter what his purpose is, she and him must not be on the same line.

Shen Qingci even sometimes wondered if it was Gu Qiuli who had a plan to kidnap her to threaten that female monarch.

After all, in a sense, she can also be regarded as the queen's... niece?
It's just that I don't know if that person knows her existence.

His thoughts drifted a little far away, and when he came back to his senses, Shen Qingci realized that Gu Qiuli's eyes were wrongly looking at her.

Shen Qingci touched his face and asked curiously, "Why, there are flowers on my face?"

Gu Qiuli smiled slightly: "I was wondering, do you already know who you are?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was slightly taken aback.

He has also been to Qingzhou Wang's house.

For a moment, Shen Qingci didn't know if he said that she already knew Xiao Qingyang's identity, or if he meant something else.

Because he couldn't be sure, Shen Qingci didn't want to be passive, so he looked at him blankly with his chin on his face and asked, "My identity? What is my identity?"

"By the way, I still want to ask you, what is your identity?"

Why did he know so much about the Dongyi people, and why did he want to kill them?And he was so cruel to Wu Zhu Qinghe, even when he mentioned the other party, there was disdain and hatred in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Why did he know the true identity of her grandfather, and why did he come all the way from Chu State to kidnap her.

Who is he?
Facing Shen Qingci's questioning, Gu Qiuli only smiled. He held up the teacup as if he was holding fine nectar, took a sip, and then said leisurely, "Me? , it doesn’t matter who you are.”

The family is broken.

Shen Qingci recognized these key words.

Combined with her previous speculation, Shen Qingci stared into his eyes, smiled and said: "I heard that he was served by the Dongyi people, and he is a direct descendant of the Chu royal family. It can even resist the erosion of Gu poison."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingci paused, and said meaningfully: "I guess, your flesh and blood can also be used as medicine."

Hearing this, Gu Qiuli's eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, a strange smile burst out of his eyes.

The ferret, which had been hiding in his arms all this time, sensed his master's emotions, and suddenly poked its head out from the lapel of his clothes, jumped onto his shoulders, and clumsily hugged Gu Qiuli's ears with its two front paws, as if It was to appease and comfort his emotions.

Before Shen Qingci could think about it, Gu Qiuli had already raised his hand and stuffed the ferret into his arms, and then asked Xiao Er to pay the bill.

He stood up first, and Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin had no choice but to follow.

The night before, Gu Qiuli threw half an antidote to Wang Baoqin, saying it would last for a month.

Wang Baoqin's complexion really improved this morning.

But seeing her spirit hurt by Gu Qiuli, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover.

Several people left the tea house and walked to the pier.

Walking in the city of Miaochuan, which only made a fortune by the pier before, I felt that there were people coming and going, but when a few people stepped into the pier, they felt that something was wrong.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the street, the pier should be more lively... there are fewer people, and everything seems to be unhurried and orderly.

But it was this kind of orderliness that made people feel weird.

Gu Qiuli stopped in his tracks, and at the same time, he had already grasped Shen Qingci's wrist and lifeline as soon as he raised his hand, and was about to take Shen Qingci back in a hurry.

And just at this moment, a flag flower flew straight out and exploded on the top of the pier.

In the next moment, the boatman who was still carrying the goods, the driver who was bargaining, and the peddler suddenly stopped their movements. dark guard.

Those swords were aimed at Gu Qiuli in the field instantly.

The moment Shen Qingci discovered this change, Shen Qingci's heart almost jumped into his throat.

Especially when she saw Sheng Tingye stepping out of a carriage behind everyone, she almost cried.

She gave so many instructions, and even took out her longevity lock, but this stubborn donkey still came!

Why didn't she think Sheng Tingye was so stubborn before!
There were so many affairs in Yunzhou that he couldn't help himself. He was seriously injured, and he had to take this bumpy road to prepare for all of this before Gu Qiuli, who traveled day and night, arrived.

He is dying!
However, Sheng Tingye didn't look at her at all, his gloomy eyes only fell on Gu Qiuli.

"Your Excellency kidnapped my wife, where do you want to go?"

At that moment, Sheng Tingye's eyes were filled with killing intent.

That coldness is even colder and more biting than the water in Miaochuan, and the snow peaks that have existed for thousands of years.

Gu Qiuli was obviously a little surprised that Sheng Tingye would chase after him.

He clasped Shen Qingci's wrist tightly with one hand and did not let go, and put the other hand behind his back. Facing Sheng Tingye who was in full bloom, he only smiled slightly and said, "My lord may have misunderstood, it is clear that your wife took the initiative to marry me." let's go."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Qingci, half joking, half threatening: "If you don't believe me, ask your wife if she would like to go back with you."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Gu Qiuli, who killed a thousand swords, was clearly digging a hole for her to jump into.

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingye's complexion turned darker.

He still didn't look at Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci knew that she was very angry with him this time.

Shen Qingci didn't say a word, Gu Qiuli's grip on her wrist suddenly increased.

Shen Qingci gasped in pain, and couldn't help frowning.

But she didn't want Sheng Tingye to be worried when she met her. She quickly stabilized her emotions, raised her eyes and smiled at Sheng Tingye, "I'm just going with him, and I'll be back soon."

When Sheng Tingye heard her gasp, he couldn't help turning his head to look at her.

At that moment, there was still wind and snow in his eyes.

But under that wind and snow, what was hidden was his concern and tension.

With a cold face, he said word by word: "If I say no."

Shen Qingci did not expect that his attitude on this matter would be so cold.

She sniffed, and was about to speak when Gu Qiuli suddenly laughed and said, "Interesting."

In addition to the safety in front of him, there are already countless archers around him aiming at his position.

The smile on Gu Qiuli's face turned cold: "You should have thought about it."

"If something happens to me, there will be no solution in this world."

"I'm sure."

In other words, Sheng Tingye must die.

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye, who was standing opposite, paled a little.

Perhaps because of being injured and rushing on the road, the wound ruptured, and there was even blood leaching from the hem of his clothes.

Shen Qingci was terrified when he saw it.

But he refused to give in.

Even when Gu Qiuli raised his eyes to look over, he sneered: "Okay, then you can die."

Although Gu Qiuli was holding Shen Qingci's lifeblood, he knew that with Shen Qingci's quick-wittedness, it was not impossible to break free.

She is taking care of him.

Moreover, the archers ambushing not far away are already ready to go.

No matter how fast Gu Qiuli was, with Shen Qingci interfering, he couldn't be as fast as the arrow shot by the archer.

While speaking, Sheng Tingye made a look with his eyes, and immediately three arrow feathers shot at Gu Qiuli's vitals one after the other with endless killing intent.

The direction of those two arrow feathers was extremely tricky, if Gu Qiuli wanted to avoid it, he had to loosen the restraint on Shen Qingci.

Otherwise, he would have been injured or even shot to the vitals and lost his life.

Or, knowing that there is no way out, he wants to use all his strength to cut off Shen Qingci's lifeline, and die together with Shen Qingci.

But Shen Qingci would not give him this chance.

Knowing that Sheng Tingye had made up her mind, she couldn't persuade her anymore. With a slight flick of her wrist, she slipped the short blade hidden inside her forearm.

While Gu Qiuli was distracted to look at the direction of the arrow feathers, Shen Qingci quickly flipped his fingertips, and directly stabbed the tiger's mouth where he was holding her with a short dagger.

The moment of severe pain, the moment Gu Qiuli lost control of his palm, Shen Qingci had already grabbed Wang Baoqin who was next to him, threw himself to the side, and rolled out on the spot.

Gu Qiuli wanted to focus on the approaching arrow feathers, so he couldn't catch the two of them at the first time, only half a beat later, another arrow feather shot in, blocking his way, and at the same time, there was no With Shen Qingci as a threat, those hidden guards all attacked him.

In order not to attract attention along the way, Gu Qiuli hid several of his guards in the dark.

By the time they heard the news and arrived, they were already more than half a beat behind.

Here, Gu Qiuli was blocked by the guards he rushed over, and Sheng Tingye had already received Shen Qingci, who was scrambling back.

Her internal strength was trapped, and her hands and feet were weak, but fortunately, her reaction was fast enough. Although she was in a panic, she was finally out of danger.

The moment he grabbed her palm and lifted her from the ground, Shen Qingci felt his fingertips trembling.

"Husband?"

Shen Qing called out, but Sheng Tingye ignored her after helping her up.

With a cold face, he looked at Gu Qiuli not far away, who seemed to be holding the chance of victory even if he was caught in a fight.

"Bring the bow."

Sheng Tingye quickly took the bow and arrow from the guard.

He strung the bow himself, but in the next moment Shen Qingci grabbed his sleeve.

"do not want!"

Shen Qingci exclaimed.

But he still didn't stop Sheng Tingye's killing intent. He looked coldly at Gu Qiuli's indifferent eyes not far away, and said word by word: "There is no such thing as something that needs to be exchanged for her safety."

Including his life and death.

After finishing speaking, Sheng Tingye flicked his fingers, and the arrow was like a rainbow penetrating the sun, carrying an irresistible killing intent and castration.

Even Gu Qiuli, who was calm before, also lowered his face, and quickly retreated to the side, barely avoiding the arrow.

It seems that because of his dodging, the besieging hidden guards attacked more fiercely.

Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

Seeing that Sheng Tingye was about to draw the bow, she strode forward and stood in front of Sheng Tingye.

Facing the other party's ice-cold eyebrows, Shen Qingci resolutely said: "I'm not going, and you don't kill him either!"

She made a new discovery today.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if it wasn't for Gu Qiuli's medicine that could cure Sheng Tingye's Gu poison, she didn't want to kill him for the time being.

Seeing Shen Qingci like this, a crack finally appeared on Sheng Tingye's jade-like face.

The reason why he had to let Gu Qiuli die was more because he didn't want Shen Qingci to put himself in danger again.

Once a person like Gu Qiuli takes Shen Qingci captive to Chu State, what will he do to her?

Especially when he mentioned from Ting Lan that Gu Qiuli said that she was a medicine man and could use her blood to make medicine.

He despises the antidote obtained on the premise of murdering Shen Qingci, let alone allow others to covet it.

For a moment, the hatred for Shen Qingci's captivity and calculation almost made Sheng Tingye faint.

It wasn't until Shen Qingci stood in front of him, blocking the arrow feathers he was about to shoot, that Sheng Tingye finally calmed down.
