Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 109

The fact that Chu Yan and Qin Yuanshan fled overnight was only discovered on the second day. Early in the morning, the servant girl who was walking and yawning with a basin in the backyard suddenly stepped on a limp body. When she looked down, she was actually The boy guarding the small courtyard was suddenly so frightened that he lost sleepiness, and at the same time as he screamed, the basin in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The young man woke up leisurely, only felt the sharp pain in the back of his head, but his heart was at a loss.

After a while, the guards who went to change shifts at the back door saw the two bodies lying on the ground, and rushed to report to the magistrate in a panic: "My lord, it's not good! The two guards at the back door were assassinated last night!"

Huang Yongqi was still changing clothes under the service of the maidservant at this time, he was startled when he heard this, and then snatched the belt from the maidservant's hand, and strode towards the small courtyard where Chu Yan and the others lived, finishing dressing in a hurry .

He first knocked twice respectfully outside Chu Yan's door, and said softly: "His Royal Highness, the next official, Huang Yongqi, has something to announce."

no respond.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he knocked harder several times, repeating what he said just now, but it's a pity that no one would pay attention to him?

He didn't care about being rude, and said, "Forgive me for overstepping the official", he pushed the door open with his hand, but the room was silent, and the quilt was neatly folded, what happened yesterday? Put it up, what is it like today.

The princess did not rest here at all!

Huang Yongqi's face darkened, and he hurried to Qin Yuanshan's wing again, this time he didn't speak, and just kicked the door open... Sure enough, the building was empty.

Huang Yongqi's complexion became more and more ugly when he thought of the person who praised him last night for his great achievements this time, and would give him the opportunity and appreciation he deserved when things were done.

Appreciate the fart, now everyone has run away, and the hard work has become a nonsense thing!

"Immediately pass down the order, and now the gates of the city will be sealed off. Anyone who enters or exits must pass the portrait inspection. If any suspicious person is found, immediately arrest him and send him to the government!" Since he came back, he hasn't leaked any rumors, so so far few people in Jiangzhou know that the princess is in his house.

Now that the princess is fleeing, he can't pursue her openly, so he can only adopt a roundabout tactic.

After giving these orders, he ran to the stable with an ugly face, rode his horse and galloped to a restaurant in the city, got off his horse, and then went straight through the hall to the kitchen behind.

The strange thing was that there was a door behind the kitchen. He knocked lightly on the door twice, and then knocked three times after a while, and the door opened by itself.

I didn't expect that there would be another hole behind the kitchen. This place seems to be a different courtyard, with elegant decoration and fresh style.

Right now, the man in black was dancing the sword in the courtyard last night. He still wore a mask on his face. He didn't speak when he saw someone coming.

It's a pity that his face is extremely cold, even through the mask, people can feel that his brows and eyes are covered with scorching ice and snow, and he wants to freeze people under such eyes.

Huang Yongqi bowed his head respectfully and saluted: "This subordinate has seen the lord."

The man asked him lightly: "What's the trouble?"

The movement of the hands still didn't stop, it was obvious that the dance of the knife was so refreshing that he couldn't control himself.

There were fine beads of sweat on Huang Yongqi's forehead, and he could only stammer: "Yesterday, my subordinate ordered someone to guard the small courtyard, thinking that the Crown Princess would stay in the subordinate's mansion unsuspectingly, why not?" material……."

"Unexpectedly what?" The man was still wielding the knife, although his face did not change, but he always felt that the chill seemed to be a little bit worse.

"Unexpectedly, my subordinate made a mistake and let the Crown Princess and Qin Yuanshan... escape from the mansion..." His voice became weaker and weaker, and he was about to plead for sin and beg for mercy, but he saw the shining knife pointed at him with a vicious look. Come, and the owner of the knife has a stern look on his face, with a determined chill in his eyes.

Huang Yongqi closed his eyes abruptly, losing all the strength in his body.

But the knife didn't pierce him. He opened his eyes in fear, only to see that the tip of the knife was less than an inch away from his nose, and the blade was still exuding a chill.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said a word from his mouth coldly: "Get lost."

Huang Yongqi finished the salute tremblingly, and went out from the small door in the kitchen, only to find that his whole body was already drenched in sweat.

The man in black in the small courtyard stood where he was, the knife in his hand snapped back into its sheath, and the cold light disappeared.

He ordered in a low voice: "Yin Shao, immediately lead people to search the whole city for traces of the Crown Princess and Qin Yuanshan, and make sure not to let go of any clues."

The young girl behind him nodded slightly. Before turning around, she looked at him hesitantly for a moment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, calm down, this is Jiangzhou, and it is your territory. It is easy for two people to find out. They It is doomed to escape with wings."

The man in black suddenly turned his head and looked at her coldly: "Who told you to talk too much?"

Yin Shao lowered his eyes in frustration, bit his lip and went down to deliver the order.

Finally, only the man in black was left in the small courtyard. He slowly stroked the machete at his waist, his eyes were cold, as if his whole body had merged with the knife.

The silver iron mask was shining brightly in the sunlight, he stretched out his hand and scratched lightly at the intangible sunlight, but it was empty without any surprise.Then, with trembling hands, he hesitantly took off the silver mask, revealing a frail and pale face that had not seen the sun all year round.

His skin is very thin, and some blood vessels seem to be faintly visible under the sun. His skin color is not normal, but it complements his thin lips with a beautiful and gorgeous color, like almond blossoms.

And the most surprising thing is that this face is that of Prince Gong Gu Chushi in the capital.

When the residual poison of Chongzheng was not cleared, Gu Qi would go to Luoyu Temple to see her when he was free. He is a person who knows how to repay her, and he is grateful to General Zhennan, so even with him, he has a little more love for Chongzheng. Very pity.

When Chongzheng woke up for the first time, he looked at him blankly, screaming thirsty, as if he hadn't realized his identity, so Gu Qi poured her a glass of water, seeing that she was drinking urgently, Can't help laughing: "Take your time, no one will grab you."

After drinking the water, Chongzheng seemed to have regained consciousness. She hurriedly struggled to stand up and salute. Gu Qi held her shoulders and smiled gently: "Wai Li, now you are still poisoned and your body is not safe, so don't worry about it." many."

Chongzheng's eyes turned red, as if he didn't expect him to say such gentle and caring words, seeing his nose turn sour, tears were about to fall.

Gu Qi was stunned, and said dumbfoundedly: "Why are you crying? I didn't punish you."

"No one..." She said sobbingly, "No one treats me so well..."

Gu Qi's face darkened slightly, and he understood.

Of course, no one treats her well. In the declining big family, everyone is constantly calculating for their own selfish desires, otherwise she would not be sent to the palace.The members of the Chong family regarded her as a lifeline, but never cared about her feelings.

Gu Qi didn't speak, and didn't intend to comfort her.The sympathy for her is based on the kindness of General Zhennan to Xuanchao. He can treat her with courtesy and give her a chance to revive the Chong family, but these have nothing to do with Fengyue.

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, Chu Yan, oh Chu Yan, why haven't you come back yet?

For the rest of the time, he was distracted and she was in a daze, so there was no interest. Gu Qi still comforted her with kind words, and then walked out.

In the past few days, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Mu jointly investigated how Chongzheng was poisoned, but only found a piece of paper with hook kiss powder left outside her original courtyard, which must have been used to contain the poison.

And that paper was sold in one of the most common rice paper shops in the capital. It was high quality and cheap, and it could be said that everyone was using it, so the clue was cut off here.

Gu Qi walked to the door of the study, looked up at the brilliance of the morning glow, took a deep breath of the morning air, but suddenly heard a horse neighing from behind, and then someone got off the horse and knelt heavily on the ground.

He turned around, only to see Xiao Che, who was covered in blood all over his body, knelt down on the ground with a mournful expression: "Your Highness, I deserve death for failing to protect His Highness the Crown Princess, I beg Your Highness to give me a death sentence!"

The blood in his whole body froze at this moment, Gu Qi seemed to hear the sound of breaking ice in his chest, then he rushed forward and picked up Xiao Che's collar: "What did you say?"

Xiao Che's cold face that had never changed for thousands of years finally showed guilt and mourning at this moment, he said: "My minister escorted His Royal Highness the Crown Princess all the way down the mountain to return to the palace, but unexpectedly encountered the assassin who had been ambushing in the camp for a long time. Being widowed, the morale of the army was in turmoil. Jingshu was injured, so Master Qin left her in the care of Weichen, and escaped from the siege with His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Escaped the siege?Gu Qi's hands loosened a little, but he heard Xiao Che add fuel to the fire: "...It's just that Master Qin was stabbed in the back when he broke out from the siege, and there were countless wounds on his body, I'm afraid he can't escort him safely. Her Royal Highness—"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qi had already let go of him, turned over and jumped on the horse he was riding when he came, clamped his feet hard, and rode out recklessly.

Xiao Che must have been red-eyed in a hurry, that's why he rode the horse in regardless of etiquette, but now it's taking advantage of Gu Qi.

Seeing that Gu Qi was so impulsive, Xiao Che held back the pain from the wound on his body, raised his breath and chased after him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Highness! You are the crown prince, the head of the Eastern Palace! How could you leave the palace behind so rashly? go?"

He shouted anxiously, and finally saw that the horse was reined in suddenly and stopped.

The person on the horse was wearing a yellow robe flying in the wind. When he turned around, his face was somewhat blurred by the brilliance of the rising sun, but it was shining brightly.

But his eyes seem to be the ice of the deep valley that will not melt for thousands of years, locking in the alternation of spring and summer, and also locking in the thousands of flowers.

He said in a low voice: "When her mother died, I left her to suffer alone because of the so-called ancestral etiquette; when she was in danger and her life was hanging by a thread during the blessing trip, I visited other women in the palace, I'm living a very comfortable life. Now something happened to her, and her life and death are uncertain, should I give myself another chance to regret it?"

Xiao Che kept silent for a moment, because he was actually touched by his words, because he knew that if something happened to Jingshu, he would run to her desperately.

Gu Qi seemed to ponder for a moment, and tightened the reins again: "Follow me to Jiangzhou, take three hundred horsemen, and make sure to find the princess."
