Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 183 Self-Saving and Rescue (1)

It was night, He Lu was waiting for Shi Yiqing to rest, and when he was about to blow the lamp to fall asleep, Madam Xu pushed open the door and let He Lu go to the door to watch, then she came to the bed and said softly: "Madam, Please forgive me for my incompetence, although I have checked the mark on the assassin, but I don't know it, and I don't know who is trying to kill Madam."

Shi Yiqing pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I'm afraid no one knows the news that we are imprisoned here, and the assassin is obviously a dead man raised by a big family in Beijing."

"Ma'am, you mean our enemies in Beijing know we're here?"

Shi Yiqing shook his head and said, "Neither Li Xuan nor Li Chi are stupid people, it is impossible to spread the news. Why?"

Mother Xu said in embarrassment: "I don't understand, Madam hasn't appeared in Beijing for more than four years, in the eyes of outsiders, Madam should be a person who has passed away, why would someone hunt and kill a person who has passed away? "

Shi Yiqing seemed to have realized something, and said: "Yes, who would not want Shi Yiqing to live, or who would wish that Shi Yiqing would not exist in this world?" After a pause, she continued, "No! Mother, we They all guessed wrong! What she wants to kill is not me, nor Shi Yiqing, and she doesn't even know us!"

"Then why..."

Shi Yiqing sneered and said, "Because what she wants to kill is the people who live here!"

Mother Xu was stunned: "The people who live here? Ma'am, I don't understand. This is the prince's other courtyard outside Beijing. If the assassin wants to kill the people who live here, shouldn't it be the prince? But the assassin obviously It's for you!"

Shi Yiqing calmly analyzed: "This is the prince's other courtyard, yes, it's still an unknown courtyard. Mother, you have been in the capital for many years, how come you don't know the prince's personality? The prince is greedy for money and lustful, so he chose a The tigress is a wife, and the concubine Ji in the prince's mansion is either sold cheap or driven out, but the prince is not allowed to hug from left to right. However, the princess is the daughter of the king of Jin, and this marriage is also the master of the emperor, the prince You can't beat, scold, let alone sleep. That's full of grievances and there is no place to spread. Later, when the crown prince was not in the capital, the princess found a concubine that the crown prince had hidden in the other courtyard of the capital. He died, and when the prince came back and heard the news, he couldn't wait to find the princess and quarreled with her, and the quarrel went to the emperor. The emperor imprisoned the prince in the prince's mansion and forbade him to come out. Since then, the prince hated After the death of the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess is also full of grievances, and in the end the two of them are like enemies, as soon as they meet, they blow their beards and stare, and there is no time to stop."

Mother Xu looked at Shi Yiqing in surprise, and asked, "How can Madam know such secret things as the prince?"

Shi Yiqing saw that Madam Xu was suspicious, and said calmly: "You don't know about it. Your master likes to make jokes about being an official and tell me. If you come and go again, you will know."

Mother Xu nodded suddenly, but she didn't doubt him: "But what does the incompatibility between the crown prince and the princess have to do with us?"

Shi Yiqing said with a smile: "The princess is jealous, and she has some tricks. Knowing that the prince is always going outside these days, how can I not be suspicious? After searching and searching, I know that this originally empty courtyard is inhabited, and the princess is a person who would rather If you kill a thousand people by mistake, you won’t give up even one temper, so knowing that you can’t be tough, you managed to get a dead man to come over to carry out the assassination.”

"In this way, if the princess didn't succeed, I'm afraid there will be a second or third person coming to assassinate you, madam!"

Shi Yiqing sighed and laughed: "If my guess is right, the surname Tan saw the strangeness of the corpse early in the morning, so he took the corpse away, and this matter can be big or small, he has no control over it, after all we It is the crown prince's important bargaining chip, if something happened to me, it would not be worth paying for his surname Qin's life."

Mother Xu frowned and thought, "Then madam, how do you think the crown prince will handle this matter?"

Shi Yiqing rubbed his tense forehead, smiled wryly and said, "I'm not the roundworm in his stomach. I really don't know what he thinks and what he will do. But it seems that if the princess doesn't get rid of her for a day, she thinks If you are a thorn in the side, it will not stop. Mother, you will secretly tell the trustworthy mother girls tomorrow to be more careful. Those dead men will not listen to what you say, all they want is their lives."

Mother Xu felt that what Shi Yiqing said made sense, so she waited for Shi Yiqing to fall asleep, and when she turned around to leave, she was surprised that Mrs. Qi Ruan Cigu started standing at the door at some point.

"Madam Qi, you, why are you still awake?" Mother Xu felt a little guilty.

Ruan Cigu's expression was hidden in the darkness, she walked slowly into the lights, and said in a deep voice: "Your wife hasn't fallen asleep yet."

Shi Yiqing propped himself up to look at Ruan Cigu, although his heart was pounding, he didn't know how much she had heard, but he still smiled slightly: "My sister can't sleep, so you came to talk to me?"

Ruan Cigu paused, nodded and said: "I think my sister has to think about a lot of things, so I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Shi Yiqing smiled and asked Nanny Xu to lead Aunt Ruan to the couch, and said, "It's just some trivial things, I didn't expect to wake up my sister. Mommy, you call Helu to come in and take care of you. You are not in good health. First Go back and rest."

Mother Xu looked at her worriedly, saw that she was still smiling, thought she had a plan in mind, agreed to retreat, and called He Lu in to serve her.

Cigu Ruan saw that Nanny Xu had retreated, she lowered her eyes but did not speak.

He Lu, who came in to serve her, couldn't help being startled when she saw Ruan Cigu, bowed with a pale face, and said stammeringly, "Madam Qi, you, why are you here?"

Ruan Cigu turned her face to Shi Yiqing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't blame her, I made a trick to sneak in, it has nothing to do with her."

Shi Yiqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I won't hurt her." After a pause, she covered the temptation in her eyes with sideways eyes, and said, "But, sister Ruan, why are you here to eavesdrop on me and Mama? mama talk?"

Seeing her asking this question, Ruan Cigu raised her eyes to look at her, lowered the corners of her eyes again, and said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to ask you about the assassin in the morning, but I saw He Lu looking around at the door, as if there was something wrong , I was curious, so I let Xing'er lead He Lou out for a while, and then I sneaked in, and only then did I hear you guys talking."

"My sister doesn't believe me?"

Ruan Cigu raised her head and said eagerly: "You and I came here together from Feishui Town. We don't know the place well. Who else can I trust besides you? But, Sister Qing'er, you are getting more and more incomprehensible to me. , who the hell are you guys!"

Shi Yiqing suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously: "If I told you, would you believe me?"

"If I don't believe you, why would I ask you?"

Shi Yiqing nodded and said with a sigh: "Okay, since my sister believes in me, I will tell you everything. But, my good sister, some things are too complicated here, and I can't explain clearly in a few sentences. Now I can only tell you everything." Let me tell you, although the people who imprisoned you and me here have no intention of killing you and me, they want more than I can afford! Now I can only procrastinate until someone comes to rescue us. But, Now no one knows that you and I are here, I can only find a way to let the news spread, so that people can know, so that people can come to rescue. When we get out safely, I will definitely take care of my affairs I tell you all. Sister, I, Shi Yiqing, swear here that you and I have gone through hardships together, and from now on, you will be my real sister!"

Ruan Cigu's expression changed again and again, and after hearing her last sentence, she looked at her complicatedly, sighed leisurely, and said, "Forget it, you have your difficulties, so I can't force you anymore. I just want to ask you, today I wanted to find the two girls who committed suicide in the morning, but you did it?"

Shi Yiqing nodded, and said: "I have no other choice. The news here cannot be spread, so I can only try this risky method."

"Those two girls are your confidantes?"

"If it's my confidant, how can they believe it. But I can trust these two girls here. As long as they are free, they will definitely spread my news."

Seeing Shi Yiqing's confidence and affirmation, Ruan Cigu couldn't say anything more, so she took a sip of the honey water handed by Helu, then got up and left Shi Yiqing's room.

Seeing that she and Shi Yiqing were the only ones in the room, He Lu lowered her head and knelt down, saying, "Ma'am, I have neglected my duty, please punish me."

Shi Yiqing waved his hand, let He Lu stand up, and said: "It's not your fault, it can only be said that you are inexperienced. Forget it, this matter has never happened, and don't spread what Mrs. Qi said, don't call Madam Xu As long as Mama and your sister know about it, that’s all right, let’s go down and rest.”

Seeing that Shi Yiqing didn't blame herself, He Lu was very grateful, thanking Dade for his dedication to serving him without mentioning it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Manager Tan came back in person and said, "Madam, please be well. Madam, you asked the little one to find the trafficker, and the little one has already found it. Do you think we should take him away now, or wait? "

Shi Yiqing frowned at Manager Tan who was standing on the ground, and said impatiently, "Wait? Wait for what? Wait for me to change my mind? Forget it, I'm not in the mood, the manager just decides for me."

Seeing that Manager Tan respectfully agreed but did not leave, Shi Yiqing asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else you need?"

Manager Tan hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness heard that the maids around you, Madam, are not serving you well, so he asked me to find two maids who are skilled in serving you. They are outside, and please tell Madam."

Shi Yiqing's eyelids twitched, and he smiled and said, "Call the two of them in."
