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

Chapter 365 Chapter 365 The Yao family’s plan

Shen Qingci originally asked Qiu Shui to accompany Qin Jiaojiao because he was afraid something would go wrong.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Because he was walking too fast, Qiu Shui's breath was a little unstable.

She ignored her breath and said in one breath: "Miss, just after you left, someone came to the front hall. Young Master Yao was also there. He invited Miss Qin to go to the pavilion to talk. The slave wanted to follow but was stopped by him. In addition, Miss Qin has also spoken, so the servant and the maid beside her can only wait in the garden."

"But I always felt that something was wrong, so I followed quietly for a few steps. I wanted to watch from a distance, but without thinking, I followed him in the blink of an eye, but there was no one in the pavilion at all."

Even if the two of them are engaged, it doesn't hurt to say a few words in private, but if there is no one around, it will be uneasy.

Especially on an occasion like today.

"We are all from the Yao family here, and we have to take Miss Qin's reputation into consideration, so I don't dare to say anything. I just asked the maid next to her, Xianglan, to wait in the garden while I rush to find the lady first."

Although Qin Jiaojiao was arrogant and wanton in the past, she was not completely unreasonable.

Thinking back to how she had swallowed her temper in front of the Yao family before, Shen Qingci suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

Since the Yao family wants to take advantage of the general's mansion, they want to marry Qin Jiaojiao to win people's hearts and place their own men in the army.

So, naturally the sooner the marriage happens, the better.

But something happened to the Qin family's father and son. With the Qin family's style, it was impossible to marry Qin Jiaojiao while taking advantage of the hot filial piety.

Plus she made such a fuss today...

The Yao family is afraid that something will happen, and in order to advance the wedding, they will most likely do whatever it takes!

Shen Qingci took a breath.

She quickly suppressed her uneasiness and took out the bone whistle hidden at her waist.

When she left Chu State, she deliberately left Tassel in Chu State.

After all, that is his hometown, and his parents also need people like him around them.

But her mother-in-law firmly opposed it, and Liusu stubbornly wanted to follow her.

When both sides couldn't agree, Shen Qingci had no choice but to come back with Liusu.

However, because of her status, she often went in and out of people, so Liusu couldn't be asked to guard her every step of the way.

Moreover, she and Sheng Tingye hang out together all day long... Even if Liusu's mind is as simple and pure as a child's, it still makes Shen Qingci panic.

That's why we have this bone whistle.

It can make a specific sound that can be transmitted very far, and it sounds like a long bird call at first, which ordinary people cannot catch.

Liusu can also move freely in a relatively far range. He can just come over when he hears her bone whistle. There is no need to guard her all the time, which is too restrictive.

Her identity is too conspicuous here, and it is difficult to find someone.

Just after Prince Duan and his wife left, there were already several pairs of eyes secretly staring at her outside the corridor.

Of course, what Qiu Shui just said was heard by these people.

Shen Qingci glanced at Qiu Shui and Qiu Yun, and said with a nervous look on his face: "Don't make any noise yet, come with me and take a look."

With that said, she walked towards the corridor.

Hearing the movement, those breaths were instantly hidden behind his back.

Shen Qingci also took the opportunity to blow the bone whistle.

Liusu quickly rushed to Shen Qingci. He remembered Shen Qingci's words to tell him to hide his figure, so he used the rockery and asparagus trees in the courtyard to block the eyes of those secretly staring at Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci turned around and pretended to talk to Qiu Yun, but in fact he looked into Liusu's eyes from an angle that the other party could not see, "We must find Gillian and bring her back to Prince Ning's Mansion."

In the eyes of others, she was talking to Qiuyun and Qiu Shui, but in reality she was giving orders to Liusu.

Liusu nodded and quickly disappeared behind the rockery silently.

Shen Qingci and his two maids walked towards the pavilion where Qin Jiaojiao disappeared.

Just now, the drizzle of rain has stopped.

Not only the garden, but also the air was damp.

The nobles who had been admiring the flowers in the garden had already gone to the flower pavilion to take shelter from the rain. Now they came out in twos and threes to enjoy the clear sky after the rain.

Someone saw Shen Qingci coming over and nodding at her from afar.There are also people who clearly saw it, but turned their heads and pretended not to see it, as if nothing happened.

Shen Qingci glanced around.

Of course it's not advisable to go looking for it blindly, not to mention that she is still waiting for the letter from Liusu.

Others may not know what happened to Qin Jiaojiao, but the old lady of the Yao family must know.

Shen Qingci was about to take a step to ask Mrs. Yao for a few words, but before he could take two steps, he met Princess Duan Xu Wanrou who was returning.

"Three siblings."

The cobblestone paths in the garden were a little slippery. She should have walked carefully, but now she felt a little anxious.

When she saw Shen Qingci, she felt as if her hanging heart had finally settled.

"I'm looking for you."

She opened her mouth and was about to speak but was interrupted by Mrs. Yao who followed closely behind.

"Princess Duan."

Mrs. Yao's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of oppression. Many people around her heard her and came over.

However, Princess Duan just smiled and ignored her threatening look. She turned around and said to Shen Qingci: "When I came here just now, I met Miss Qin. She caught a cold and felt a little uncomfortable, so I Ask someone to send her to the carriage in the General's Mansion to wait for the three younger siblings."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's originally anxious heart relaxed.

"Ms. Xu! Miss Qin is an honored guest. The banquet has not even started yet, so you sent her back. What do you think others will think of my Yao family? It's Princess Ning's here. I'm afraid there will be another entanglement. Do you know..."

Mrs. Yao had a stern face, obviously dissatisfied with Princess Duan's decision-making behavior.

However, before she could finish her training, she suddenly heard a deep male voice behind her.

"Grandmother."

With the sound of bamboo wheels, King Duan rushed over from another path.

He changed from his gentle and jade-like appearance before, and his picturesque brows were extremely cold.

"I just heard that my third cousin lost his footing and fell into the lotus pond. I don't know what is happening now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Yao's face darkened.

"Why did Brother Li fall into the water?"

Prince Duan looked cold, "I don't know, maybe I drank some wine and my steps were sloppy. I don't know if I missed the step."

Mrs. Yao's expression turned extremely ugly. She wanted to say something, but there were so many pairs of eyes around her. For the sake of the Yao family's face, she held back. She only said a few words and hurried with her maid. Leave.

After she left, King Duan looked up at Shen Qingci, with a bit of shame on his face: "I made my third brother and sister laugh."

Shen Qingci had basically guessed the twists and turns here.

But now was not the time to speak. She nodded to Prince Duan, parted her lips and said silently: "Thank you, eldest brother."

Prince Duan just smiled, and Princess Duan on the side said very considerately: "I will take my three younger brothers and sisters over."

As for this banquet...it’s okay not to attend.

With Princess Duan coming forward and using Shen Qingci's unwellness as an excuse, naturally no one would say anything more.

Princess Duan took Shen Qingci all the way to the carriage parked outside the corner gate.

When there was no one around, she took Shen Qingci's hand and lowered her voice and said: "My prince and I didn't expect that they would attack Miss Qin, but don't worry, the third brother and sister, Miss Qin is fine, she was just drugged, go back Just take a little rest.”

Shen Qingci held Princess Duan's hand in return: "Thank you, Mrs. Huang."

This thank you comes from her heart.

If something really happened to Qin Jiaojiao today, Shen Qingci couldn't guarantee that he would still be able to stay sane.

Princess Duan smiled and raised her hand to open the curtain.

However, the next moment, the expression on her face suddenly froze.

Shen Qingci looked at the carriage and was startled.

There was only a driver who was knocked unconscious in the carriage, and there was no Qin Jiaojiao!
