Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 30 The Second Lady Is Dead

Thinking about her inconvenient legs, Qin Ziling chose to stay in the car.

But Qin Ziling regretted it the next moment, she hadn't seen the emperor yet, she couldn't come to ancient times and still not see the emperor.

Thinking of this, Qin Ziling regretted getting off the carriage again.If Qin Ziling knew that she would suffer so many crimes because of this curiosity, she would never be curious about the ancient emperor even if she was killed. Even if the emperor had three heads and six arms, Qin Ziling would not be curious anymore.

Following the crowd, Qin Ziling stood by the side of the road.After a while, a particularly large number of guards came from the front, isolating the crowd and the royal team.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ziling saw guards with knives riding high horses in front of them. This trip involved many people in the palace, so they must protect the safety of these people.

Behind the guards are some military generals, and then some princes and princes.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yi riding a white horse in front, Qin Ziling quickly hid behind the crowd, but she remembered that Xuanyuan Yi said that she was not allowed to make such a fuss.

Behind these, followed by the carriage carrying the emperor and queen, pushing hard to the front of the crowd, Qin Ziling wanted to see what the legendary prince looked like.

Suddenly, while Qin Ziling was still stretching his neck to watch, a child suddenly passed through the barrier of the guards, and fell down like the ground. Obviously, the child was squeezed out.

Seeing that the child was about to be trampled by the passing prince's horse, Qin Ziling quickly reached out to protect the child, but because of an injured leg, he fell to the ground.

Xuanyuan Hong was by the side of the queen and the emperor, and he never thought that such a thing would happen suddenly. Seeing that the horse's hoof was about to step on Qin Ziling's body, Xuanyuan Hong quickly raised the horse's hoof and used his internal force to let the horse's hoof step down. The direction deviated from Qin Ziling's body.

Protecting the child in her arms tightly, Qin Ziling was also thinking about why she was so unlucky to be trampled by horseshoes.

Hearing the horse's cries of pain and the sound of the horse's hoof stamping on the ground, Qin Ziling finally took a breath. She was almost frightened to death just now. Seeing the horse's hoof so close, she thought she would definitely be stepped on by the horse's hoof.

"Young master, are you okay?"

Xuanyuanhong looked at Qin Ziling who was lying on the ground, protecting the child in his arms.Hastily dismounted and asked eagerly.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, my lord."

Raising her head, Qin Ziling said hastily, realizing that she had narrowly escaped death just now, Qin Ziling looked at the team that had stopped because of them, and her heart rose in her throat again.

She won't be treated as an assassin.

The moment Qin Ziling raised his head, Xuanyuan Hong suddenly stared at Qin Ziling in a daze. This man was really good-looking, especially those eyes that were as agile as a deer after being frightened.

The snow-white fur on the cloak made Qin Ziling's face even fairer, not like an ordinary man at all.

He didn't care about Xuanyuanhong's eyes. After Qin Ziling escaped from the dead, he was full of fear. She should not be regarded as an assassin. Thinking of this, Qin Ziling handed the child to the crying woman who was blocked by the guards inside. , and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

When Xuanyuanhong came to his senses, Qin Ziling was nowhere to be seen, only a white embroidered handkerchief remained on the ground.It was simply embroidered with a single white lily.

Feeling disappointed, Xuanyuan Hong put the white embroidered handkerchief into his arms.

"Hong'er, what happened outside?"

Sitting in the carriage, the queen asked Xuanyuan Hong through the curtain.Because it was inconvenient to show up, even though the carriage stopped just now, they did not lift the curtain.

"Let father and queen worry, nothing happened, just a child fell and almost fell under the child's horse. Fortunately, the child reacted in time and did not suffer any injuries."

Unlike worrying the emperor and queen, Xuanyuan Hong simply explained.

Because Xuanyuan Yi was in the front, he didn't see what was going on behind, otherwise, he would rather not go to sacrifice, but drag this woman back.

Hiding in the crowd, Qin Ziling didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until the team had all left.

Sitting back in the carriage, Qin Ziling thought that he really shouldn't join in the fun in the future, since accidents are too easy to join in the fun.

Before going to Zhuangzi, Qin Ziling went to Juxiangju, and sure enough, Qin Ziling really found Gu Yuan there, because he knew that Xuanyuan Chen had gone to participate in the sacrifice, so Qin Ziling was not surprised, why there was only Gu Yuan alone.

"Brother Gu."

As soon as he entered the backyard, Qin Ziling saw Gu Yuan sitting in the yard drinking with shopkeeper Liu.

"Brother Qin, why are you here?"

He remembered that Qin Ziling said that he had a family. On the first day of the new year, shouldn't she be with her family?

"I'm here to drink with you guys. Let's go, Brother Gu, Uncle Liu, let's go to have fun together. Just the two of you drinking, it's so boring."

Limping, Qin Ziling sat next to the two of them.

"Brother Qin, what's wrong with your leg?"

Looking at Qin Ziling's limping legs, Gu Yuan asked curiously, how long has it been since we saw each other, and brother Qin made his legs like this.

Originally, her leg didn't hurt much, but she was too anxious just now, so she fell to the ground again, and her injury became more serious.

"Hey, it's hard to say. I fell it myself, but it's much better now, Brother Gu, don't worry."

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Ziling realized that she was not directly trampled by a horse these two times, but fell by herself both times.

……

Looking at Qin Ziling's limping leg, and Qin Ziling's claim that he fell, Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing. "Brother Qin, you broke your leg like this!"

It can't be blamed that he couldn't hold back, before here, Qin Ziling always had a straight back, but suddenly, he couldn't help laughing.

Glancing at the grinning Gu Yuan, Qin Ziling gave Gu Yuan a supercilious look helplessly. "Brother Gu, let's go have a drink! Can you stop mentioning my sad story!"

"Good! Good! Let's go now, shopkeeper Liu, let's go quickly, haha!"

Seeing Qin Ziling's panic-stricken look, Gu Yuan laughed even harder.

Already feeling unable to meet people, Qin Ziling covered her face, turned around and walked out, she wanted to drink by herself!

"Hey, Brother Qin, don't worry, shopkeeper Liu, let's go."

Seeing Qin Ziling running away in anger, Gu Yuan hurriedly greeted shopkeeper Liu, and at the same time hurried to chase Qin Ziling, what if she fell down again after a while!
The quarrelsome people, those who brought Juxiangju and some women gathered, went to Zhuangzi in a hurry, and the whole group and those who stayed in Zhuangzi had a very lively life.In the evening, those who celebrated the New Year with their families and Xuanyuan Chen who had participated in the sacrifice also rushed to Zhuangzi.

Just like that, the female family members were busy cooking, while Qin Ziling and a group of elders opened their stomachs and started drinking.

Most of the people in Zhuangzi are from poor families, and it is entirely due to Qin Ziling that they can live such a comfortable year this year.Therefore, everyone is also extremely excited.

In this way, everyone happily spent their first New Year together.

By the time Qin Ziling returned to the palace, it was already midnight, and there was no one in the quiet palace. Could it be that even the gatekeepers had their annual leave?That's right, those who celebrate the New Year, who doesn't go back to celebrate the New Year.

Drunk, Qin Ziling felt confused, but didn't think too much about it. Relying on the memory of almost a year, Qin Ziling stumbled back to Lingxiang Residence with a broken leg.

Seeing Lvhe standing at the door, Qin Ziling raised his hand, hooked Lvhe's chin, and squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes. "Girl, come on, give me a smile!"

Seeing Qin Ziling's precarious body, he immediately reached out to catch Qin Ziling who was about to fall.

"Madam, why did you come back so late and drink so much!"

After waiting for a long time, Lu He didn't wait for a reply, she looked down, she was in a good relationship, and her wife fell asleep directly leaning against her.

Pursing her lips, Lu He didn't know if she could get the lady in by herself, but in the end, after weighing it, it's better not to let too many people see the current appearance of the lady.Half dragging, half pulling, Lu He finally got Qin Ziling onto the bed.

After fetching water, washed her wife's face, and took off the men's clothes, Lu He put down the bed curtain and went to the outside room to sleep.

She was afraid that Madam drank too much and needed water in the middle of the night.

Sleeping until the early morning of the next day, Qin Ziling didn't wake up naturally, but was awakened by the noise in the palace early in the morning.

"Madame, madam! Something is wrong! Something is wrong!"

Just when Qin Ziling opened his eyes, he heard Lu He's bluffing, and then the sound of Lu He pushing the door open.

Getting up, Qin Ziling felt his head was about to burst from the pain because of the hangover.

"What happened again!"

Seeing that the madam who just woke up kept rubbing her brows, Lu He knew that Qin Ziling's headache was the cause. She wanted to let the madam sleep a little longer, so she was just about to go to the big kitchen and order to prepare a bowl of hangover soup.

But I didn't expect to hear the news when I walked halfway, so I rushed back in such a hurry.

"Ma'am! The second lady is dead!"

Seeing that his wife had a headache, Lu He hurried over to massage her gently.There was also a hint of fear in his tone.

"What! The second lady is dead!"

Upon hearing the news, Qin Ziling was also taken aback, and turned to look at Luhe in surprise.Isn't this... the person who was fine a few days ago?No matter how you say it, it's gone.

"What is the reason for his death?"

Staring at her eyes, Qin Ziling was not only surprised, but still surprised.

"The maidservant is not too clear, but I heard people say that she was killed by someone. Please tell me, Madam, how come this kind of thing happened in this New Year's Eve!"

Lu He was just a little girl who died suddenly, and she was someone she had just met a few days ago, so she couldn't accept it all at once.

"Although the servant girl doesn't like the second lady very much, after all, it's a life. Why don't you say it's gone!"

Seeing Qin Ziling who was in a daze, Lu He said with a hint of sadness.

Letting Luhe massage her head, Qin Ziling's heart was turbulent at the moment.

Unexpectedly, the second wife and her unborn child were all sacrificed because they were framed for her.

As soon as she heard that the second lady was dead, or was murdered, Qin Ziling immediately realized that she might have been living with Xuanyuan Yi for the past few days, which aroused their jealousy.

Thinking about the second lady, in addition to being annoying, now there is an inexplicable increase in sadness.

"Boom boom boom! Ma'am."

When Qin Ziling was still in his emotions, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing it was the voice of the servant girl in his yard, Qin Ziling let her in.

"What's matter?"

Normally, they would not come to Qin Ziling's room if they had nothing to do, they would usually pass through Luhe, presumably because Luhe was not there just now, so they came to Qin Ziling's room.

"The princess sent someone to inform everyone to go to the main hall, saying that they were investigating the death of the second lady."

With her head lowered, the little maid was also a little scared, but she still answered Lu He's words clearly.

If the second lady didn't die naturally, then this matter must have something to do with her, Qin Ziling. I didn't expect that they would target her like this in such a big palace.

"Lu He, wash and change Mrs. Ben's clothes."

Qin Ziling felt that, no matter what, she could only take one step now. Now that the second lady was dead, she would definitely not make her feel better for the remaining person who harmed her. He dared to treat life as nothing. Others would regard her life as nothing.

After washing, Qin Ziling chose dark clothes.

I just hope that the person who harmed her will stop shooting herself in the foot.

When Qin Ziling limped to the main hall, she saw Xuanyuan Yi who was sitting in the main seat with a cold face. His clothes were still the same as yesterday.I heard from Luhe in the morning that Xuanyuan Yi did not return to the palace last night, but was left in the palace.Maybe now he just heard the news and hurried back without even having time to change his clothes.

"Is my sister's leg still not healed yet? Although the second lady did that wrongly and caused my sister to hurt her leg, but sister, you can't just kill the second lady, sister, you really..."

Having said that, Qin Zishuang pretended to cover her face and wept for a while.She saw clearly just now that the moment the prince saw Qin Ziling, the indifference in his eyes disappeared instantly.Can this make her not hate Qin Ziling!She is the princess, and the prince should be hers.

"Wangfei's words are so funny, which eye did you see that Qie Shen killed the second lady? Some people wanted Qie Shen's life more than once, and Qie Shen didn't even bother with her, let alone just hurt her leg this time. !"

Hearing Qin Ziling's straightforward rebuttal, Qin Zishuang's face darkened instantly.

"Third Madam, this princess is doing it for your own good. If you admit it readily, you may have a chance to be punished lightly!"

"Oh, if the concubine said that the affair between the princess and the man was arranged by the princess herself, would you admit it!"

Because her legs were not fully intact, Qin Ziling struggled to stand, so she went to sit on a chair beside her, looked at Qin Zishuang's completely darkened face and said.She, Qin Ziling, is not a submissive person. If someone wants to bully her, she has to weigh herself, whether she has the ability to bully her.

At first, I was still thinking that this matter was probably related to the princess or the eldest lady sitting beside her, but seeing Qin Zishuang's current attitude and the eldest lady sitting beside her looking like a good show, Qin Ziling was sure. Qin Zishuang must have done this.

Wringing the handkerchief in her hand, Qin Zishuang didn't expect Qin Ziling to mention that incident, which she had always regarded as a shame.Qin Ziling was all to blame for that incident, if it wasn't for Qin Ziling, she wouldn't be so ashamed, she must get rid of Qin Ziling, absolutely can't keep Qin Ziling.

Gritting her silver teeth, Qin Zishuang was trying to suppress her anger.

"This princess didn't do it. Naturally, this princess will not admit it. Based on your own words, there is no evidence!"

"The princess also said that this is the concubine's own story, so what evidence does the princess have to say that the concubine killed the second lady?"

Staring straight at Qin Zishuang, Qin Ziling spoke frankly.

"This princess will naturally not do such a thing, and the slave also admitted that it was his fault, but the third lady is different. The second lady will not open her mouth to say who hurt her, and... the third lady I didn't go back to the palace last night, but no one knows where the third lady is this night, so the third lady has enough suspicions."

Playing with the cardamom in her fingers, Qin Zishuang said gloatingly.

Qin Zishuang implemented this plan just taking advantage of Qin Ziling's failure to return to the palace last night.

Upon hearing Qin Zishuang's words, Qin Ziling couldn't help but sneered in her heart. It turned out that she took advantage of her absence and there was no evidence of her absence to kill the second lady.

It must be that Qin Zishuang wanted to do this a few days ago, but she had been with the prince for a few days, so she had no chance.

Xuanyuan Yi was not in the mansion last night, and she only came back in the middle of the night. Qin Zishuang must think that she, Qin Ziling, must be indisputable, but, who is Qin Ziling, she will not let herself suffer this grievance for nothing.
