Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 113

"Chu Yan." Gu Qi gently pressed her shoulders, signaling her not to panic, and then put his fingers on his lips and blew lightly. There was a clear sound in the night sky. Can't help that voice.

Chu Yan was astonished to see a group of men in black appearing out of nowhere, and appeared around them after a while. Different from the previous group of assassins, these men in black were not wearing pure black clothes, but were all embroidered at the front of their clothes. There are also long swords around their waists instead of broadswords.

She finally relaxed again, and after a while, she seemed to suddenly realize how ridiculous the previous anxiety was. How could the dignified prince go into battle alone when he was traveling far away?
Gu Qi asked her: "What happened to those men in black and Huang Yongqi you said just now?"

Chu Yan's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "They are a group of people, working together and working together. When Mr. Qin and I fled to the outside of Jiangzhou City, Mr. Qin was already unconscious, and happened to meet Huang Yongqi's car Ma, we lived in his mansion together. At first I didn’t notice any difference, until I accidentally saw the leader of the group of men in black appearing in the mansion at night, spying in the same room as Huang Yongqi. It feels wrong."

She briefly explained everything after the two of them came to Jiangzhou in one breath. The more Gu Qi listened, the more dignified his face became, especially when he heard the word "Worship Fire", he finally only asked: "Where is the Town God's Temple located?" where?"

Chu Yan pointed to the direction in which she escaped all the way.

Gu Qi turned around and called out: "Xiao Che."

A man with a bandage on his arm slowly walked out of the group of men in black. Chu Yan was startled for a moment, and then she was overjoyed: "Master Xiao? Are you and Jing Shu all right?"

Before Xiao Che could answer, Gu Qi simply ordered: "You take some people to protect the Crown Princess and rest in the woods on the outskirts of the city, and I will take people to the Town God's Temple to have a look."

"Your Highness, why should you put yourself in danger? Just let me lead someone to rescue Lord Qin!" Xiao Che frowned, a little worried.

"Your injury is not healed yet, do as I tell you." The situation was urgent, and Gu Qi didn't want to talk too much, so he just turned around and hugged Chu Yan gently, and whispered in her ear Sentence: "Wait for me to come back."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his movements were very natural, as if he didn't know what restraint was, and his previous alienation and indifference disappeared.

Chu Yan responded, and the embrace was fleeting, and in an instant, there was only a figure from the back that disappeared in the crowd.

Gu Qi only took away one hundred elite soldiers, leaving the other two hundred to protect Xiao Che and Chu Yan.

Xiao Che walked up to Chu Yan, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, let's go."

The woods on the outskirts of the city were a bit damp, and everyone took a lot of effort to find some dry dead branches and rotten leaves at the edge of the woods, piled them together and set them on fire to prevent Chu Yan from freezing.

The army guarded around the forest, Chu Yan sat on the rocks beside the fire, and Xiao Che stood opposite her, with a straight posture and a calm face.

"Is Jingshu okay?" Chu Yan was the first to break the silence.

Xiao Che nodded slightly: "After I stopped the bleeding for her, I rushed back to the capital immediately, and sent her to the palace for treatment by the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that it didn't hurt her heart, it was just an ordinary knife wound, so she can rest and recuperate...Thank you, Prince Your Highness is concerned."

This was the first time that Chu Yan heard him say so many words in one breath, and his cold face seemed to soften a bit. His tenderness was always directed at Feng Jingshu alone. No wonder Feng Jingshu always mentioned Xiao Che. It's such a beautiful smile.

"It's fine, if Jingshu is because of me..." Chu Yan lowered her head to look at the fire, smiling bleakly, obviously a little scared.

This time Xiao Che hesitated for a moment before saying: "You can't say that."

Chu Yan waited for his next words, but Xiao Che's words were concise and to the point, there was really no more words. She couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to ask herself: "Then what should I say?"

"If Your Highness thinks that those assassins are trying to assassinate you, so that Jing Shu was implicated, then it can also be said that they are actually targeting His Highness the Crown Prince, and you are just implicated... So, after all, do you want to kill Jing Shu?" Is the blame placed on His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Che's expression remained the same, and after he finished speaking, he frowned again: "Your Majesty is outspoken, please punish me, Your Highness."

Chu Yan knew that he was trying to enlighten her, so she laughed: "It's very reasonable, what's the crime?"

The night wind was blowing on her body, and because it was summer night, she didn't feel the cold. She faintly heard the neighing of horses from the outskirts of the forest, and suddenly paused, vaguely remembering something.

After she became the crown princess, she once heard Gu Qi talk about in the study of Yong'an Palace that Zhao Ronghua forced him to read, practice calligraphy and ride a horse when he was a child.While riding a horse in a paddock, Zhao Ronghua told the eunuch who was leading the horse to let go, and the young Gu Qi cried out of fear. Unexpectedly, the horse was startled by his crying and started to run wildly, so that he He fell off the horse due to an unstable center of gravity, and lay on the bed for more than two months before he could get out of the bed.

At that time, he smiled lowly and said something like this: "It's just that in the end I didn't dare to tell my father that my mother forced me to learn horses, because I knew that if my father found out about this, he would definitely vent his anger. Mother, everyone in the palace thought that I was unwilling to be left behind and insisted on riding a horse regardless of my own safety. That's why I was injured. It's just ridiculous to say it. Since then, I have hated horses to the extreme, and I don't want to ride anymore. Riding a horse, and never participating in hunting activities in the palace."

Thinking of this, Chu Yan froze in place, because in her impression, Gu Qi not only rode a horse, but also rode twice, and both times were because of her.

The first time, Mrs. Zhaohua passed away, he came to Zhao Mansion from the palace to pick her up, and took her on horseback to the Sixth Prince's place by the Mo River outside the city.

The second time... this time.

She heard that she was a little nervous and asked Xiao Che eagerly: "His Royal Highness can ride a horse?"

Xiao Che was startled, and quickly turned his gaze over, seemingly shocked, before asking after a while: "Your Highness knows... His Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of horses?"

He put his voice down very softly, and his appearance was very cautious, as if he was afraid of leaking the news.

Gu Qi is the present prince and even the future monarch. His likes and dislikes are not humane, let alone the fear in his heart. Only Xiao Che and Qin Yuanshan knew about the horse.

Xiao Che was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness is afraid of horses, but it's not that he can't ride a horse. It's just that he can't eat and feels nauseous for a few days after riding a horse."

Chu Yan didn't know what to say anymore.

No wonder, no wonder he didn't see her for a few days after he returned to the palace last time, and when he had dinner with her again, he always watched her eat, but he didn't move his chopsticks very much.

No wonder she always saw Wanxi sending porridge to his study those few days. She thought it was because he was busy with political affairs, so she wanted to have a supper, but it turned out that the main meal was hard to swallow, so she could only have some porridge...

The night wind seemed to suddenly become bitingly cold.

Chu Yan was obviously sitting by the fire, but she felt that the wind was blowing on her face with a pain of gouging out flesh.What was even more surprising was that an inexplicable hot breath rose from the depths of her chest, spreading to her limbs bit by bit, submerging her whole body in it.

"You... how long have you been in Jiangzhou City?" She asked with difficulty.

"The minister rushed back to the palace at dawn yesterday, and informed His Royal Highness of the assassination. His Highness immediately led the troops and set off. He arrived here last night. After resting for less than two hours, until he found His Royal Highness just now, His Royal Highness has been leading people to search in the city."

It was rare for Xiao Che to say so many words again, and Chu Yan finally found it difficult to say a single word.

From the capital city to Jiangzhou, it would take a day and a night at the speed of ordinary people, but that person arrived in only one day without sleep.

He obviously can't ride a horse, and he obviously hates and fears horses extremely. Once he rides a horse, he will endure this kind of unbearable bitterness for the next few days.

Chu Yan's throat seemed to be blocked by someone, she wanted to gasp and speak, but in the end she opened her mouth like a fish out of water, and couldn't make any sound.

Is he a fool?

Why does the majestic prince of a country insist on coming to rescue her in person?It's fine to send troops, so why put yourself in danger and do so many things to suffer?

Since she came to this strange dynasty, she has made up her mind to be a different self, no longer the weak and incompetent Wei Meng in the past, but the risen Zhao Chuyan, but everything is done without any worries. on the premise of arrears.

Did he do this to disturb her mind?

Chu Yan was in a state of turmoil. After being silent for a long time, she finally burst out laughing.

"I owe him more than a little." She stared blankly at the glare of the fire, the corners of her eyes were moist, and her voice seemed to be a helpless sigh.

This is good, she not only owes Qin Yuanshan the knife on his back and the catastrophe in the temple, but also owes Gu Qi too much.

Xiao Che's voice came from above the flames: "Your Highness, what is the reason for the debt? If the one who pays is willing, how can the one who accepts owe anything? Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, why did Huang Gai let Zhou Yu lie down, and why did Huang Gai hit him?" ever came back?"

Chu Yan laughed softly, amused by Xiao's cold joke, and finally reached out to wipe away the wetness from her eyelashes.

But she is not Zhou Yu, she doesn't completely trust her Huang Gai, let alone give any sincerity, so now she accepts his unreserved goodness, and she feels even more guilty.

After thinking wildly like this for an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the forest. After a while, Gu Qi's figure appeared in the forest. Obviously, he got off his horse as soon as he got to the edge of the forest and walked into the forest.

Xiao Che looked back and rushed to meet him, but he didn't see Qin Yuanshan's figure, so his eyes darkened: "Your Highness didn't find Mr. Qin?"

"When I arrived at the Town God's Temple, Yuan Shan had already been taken away. Although the remaining assassins were all surrounded by our people, they all bit the medicine bags between their teeth and committed suicide..." Gu Qi's voice was a little pale After a moment of silence, he regained his composure, "Since Huang Yongqi has rebelled, it is no longer suitable for Jiangzhou to stay for a long time. Let's go back to the palace first, and then send troops to destroy the traitors of the Zoroastrianism and rescue Yuanshan. They also know that things have been exposed at this moment. Yuan Shan should be taken as a hostage, so he will be fine for the time being."

He walked towards Chu Yan, and stretched out his hand to her in the glow of the fire: "Let's go."
