Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 176 Assassination, narrow escape
"Sister Yingchu, are you there?" Qi Anru knocked on the door outside the room.

Lianfeng went to open the door and greeted her with a smile: "It's so late, why is Miss Qi here?"

"I brought delicious food to sister Yingchu," Qi Anru said while looking in, and when she saw Yingchu coming out of the back room, she immediately walked over with a happy face, "Sister Yingchu, the vegetarian meal tonight is definitely not good." Eat it? I asked the servant girl to make some snacks, and they are still hot when they are just out of the pan, so try them!"

The maid following her put the tray on the table and lifted the cover to reveal several stacks of delicately shaped pastries.

"Thank you, Ms. Qi," Yingchu asked her to sit down on the couch, "It's so late, I'll trouble you to bring it here."

"Don't bother, don't bother, it's easy to do," Qi Anru pushed the plate in front of her, "Sister, taste it quickly, does it suit your taste?"

Yingchu smiled, pinched a piece in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Qi Anru's face faintly showed some nervousness: "What are you looking at, sister?"

There was coldness in Yingchu's eyes, but there was a slight smile on his face: "I just look at this dim sum, it looks very unique, Miss Qi's maid is really dexterous."

Qi Anru was slightly relieved, Hua Yingchu's medical skills were excellent, she thought she had noticed something, "Sister likes it, I'll let the servant girl teach it to Lianfeng later, you can try it, it won't taste good when it's cold. "

"How can I enjoy it all by myself," Yingchu said, "Miss Qi also eats."

Qi Anru hurriedly shook her head: "I've already eaten, I'm too full, I can't eat any more! Sister Yingchu, don't go out!"

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Yingchu brought the snack to her lips, and took a small bite, "Mmm, it really is delicious."

Qi Anru watched her finish the whole snack, the smile on her face became brighter, and her tone changed slightly: "Sister Yingchu, how do you feel?"

Yingchu didn't seem to notice the trace of malice hidden in her words, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "This pastry has a unique taste, it seems that something unusual has been added?"

"Oh," Qi Anru whispered pretending to be annoyed, "Some people are allergic to the secret seasoning added to the dim sum. I forgot to mention it. I don't know if you are allergic, sister!"

"Don't worry, I won't be allergic," Yingchu looked at her and smiled, "My physique is different from others, and I have been treated with medicine. Even drugs and poisons don't work on me. A little secret seasoning, There will be no problem at all.”

Qi Anru's expression froze: "Drugs don't work for you?"

"Yeah," Yingchu raised her lips, "What's wrong with Ms. Qi? She seems very disappointed?"

Qi Anru forced a smile: "How come, I am, I am just too surprised!"

She observed Yingchu suspiciously for a while, and saw that she had no symptoms of being fascinated at all, so she had to believe it.She was very anxious, sister Yue told her to make Hua Yingchu faint, so that this cunning woman would not spoil her good deeds later, what should I do now!
Yingchu asked: "Miss Qi sent me some snacks, did Miss Qiao deliver any?"

"Of course I gave it away." Qi Anru said.

"That's good," Yingchu said, "It seems that Ms. Qiao hasn't slept yet. It's getting colder tonight. I'm worried that Ms. Qiao's condition will get worse. Let's go and have a look."

Qi Anru was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, Sister Yue is already asleep. I went to bring her some snacks, but when I got to the door, I found that she was asleep, so I came here. Let's not go, so as not to disturb Sister Yue's rest. "

Yingchu showed a worried look: "It's not time to go to bed yet, Miss Qiao went to bed early, maybe it's because she's seriously ill. If so, I'll go and have a look."

She stood up as she spoke: "Xing Yu, bring me my cloak."

"Sister Yue is really asleep, let's not disturb her, it won't be too late tomorrow morning!" Qi Anru held her back, only feeling that one head and two big.Talking to Hua Yingchu was really tiring, she had an inexplicable feeling of being played around, but looking at Hua Yingchu's expression, she didn't look like that.

No matter what she said, Yingchu insisted on going to see Qiao Peiyue, Qi Anru was so anxious that he could only follow her.

Qiao Xiyue didn't live close to Yingchu, so she probably planned it from the beginning, keeping her far away to prevent her from doing things.

Halfway through, the sky began to rain again.

"It's raining, let's not go, hurry back!" Qi Anru took the opportunity to persuade again.

Yingchu was unmoved: "It's just a drizzle, let's hurry up, we'll be there soon."

Qi Anru glared at Yingchu fiercely in the dark, she thought for a while, then suddenly covered her stomach and shouted: "Ah, my stomach hurts suddenly, Sister Yingchu, please show me, I'm in pain! "

"When I get to Ms. Qiao's place, I'll treat you together." Yingchu said.

"No, I can't take the pain anymore!" Qi Anru grabbed her wrist firmly, "Sister Yingchu, go to my room first, and treat me first!"

She has a lot of strength, Yingchu's wrist hurts from being grabbed by her, she struggles a bit but does not break free, and the anger that has been suppressed can't help but burst out.

Yingchu shook off her hand fiercely, and said coldly: "You don't need to pretend, you don't want me to go to Qiao Xiyue, I just don't go!"

"I didn't pretend," Qi Anru continued to hold his stomach, "I really have a stomachache."

Yingchu stared at her coldly.

Qi Anru finally couldn't pretend anymore, she stood up straight, looked at Yingchu for a moment, and gradually revealed a look of disdain on her face: "Since you guessed it, I don't bother to play tricks on you anymore, Sister Yue doesn't want to see you, so hurry up Go back to your room!"

"I used to think that you were young and ignorant," Yingchu said coldly, "Now it seems that you are simply ignorant!"

Qi Anru was stunned by the scolding, and then furious: "How dare you scold me? What are you, why do you say that about me!"

"Your brother takes pity on you for losing your parents since you were young. He loves you very much and protects you carefree. It's fine if you don't return the same respect and love. At least don't drag your brother down!"

Yingchu's eyes were burning with anger: "Have you thought about it before doing something? Today is your mother's death day, and you cried so sadly in front of the grave, is it all fake? You are using your brain here, I'm sorry Your mother? If your brother is really planned by you and did something out of the ordinary, how will he gain a foothold in the capital? Do you want him to lose his reputation and be ashamed of the world?!"

Qi Anru couldn't help but took two steps back: "You, what are you talking nonsense, I can't understand your words!"

She felt guilty for a moment, and quickly narrowed her eyes stubbornly: "No matter what I do, it is for my brother! My brother is surrounded by enemies and is in a difficult situation, but you take advantage of others' danger and force my brother to marry you. You succeeded! Even if I am sorry for my mother and my brother is angry with me, I will not regret it!"

Yingchu looked at her extraordinarily bright eyes in the dark, and the anger in her heart gradually cooled down. Anru also wanted to protect her brother, although the means were wrong.

An Ru tried to hold her back, but only to create opportunities for Qiao Xiyue, pester Qi Changjin, and even cook raw rice.An Ru thought that she was helping her brother, but she thought too simply. On the anniversary of her mother's death, she was in a panic, and if she was charged with unfilial piety, those enemies who were staring at her would definitely take the opportunity to bite Qi Changjin to death!

Even if Qi Changjin survived by chance, this scandal is enough to make him lose all his prestige in the army.How can a general who has lost his morale lead his troops to fight?
But Qi Anru couldn't think of this at all, she stared at Yingchu full of hostility: "Anyway, brother and sister Yue will be together tonight, they are the most suitable couple! With me here, you don't want to destroy it!"

After Yingchu figured out what they were up to, she didn't try to stop them. She used to plan to watch a good show.If Qi Changjin couldn't even handle this, he wouldn't be Qi Changjin.No matter Qiao Xiyue wants to use medicine or other methods, it will never be successful.

The rain became heavier, and the outer cloak was almost soaked.Yingchu closed her hat, turned around and prepared to go back, after arguing with Qi Anru, she was not in the mood to watch a good show.

"What are you doing?" Qi Anru asked.

"Didn't you let me go back?" Yingchu said lightly, "As you wish."

Qi Anru glared at her in disbelief: "You know all about it, but you just went back like this?" What did Hua Yingchu think of her brother?To give up so easily!

Yingchu frowned, she was not happy to go, she was not happy to go back, this girl is really hard to serve.

A ferocious lightning flashed across the night sky, the crackling roar and the sudden rainstorm almost covered up the unusual movement, but due to the angle, Yingchu keenly captured the flashing cold light.

Her pupils shrank sharply, and she threw Qi Anru down with all her might.

Qi Anru fell heavily on the ground, feeling pain and anger, but an arrow shot near her head immediately dispelled her anger, and her expression suddenly became terrified.

The servant girl Que'er screamed in her ears. She was shot in the chest by an arrow, and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

Ying Chu hugged Qi Anru and rolled half a circle, dodging another arrow, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Xing Yu was also hit by an arrow on the shoulder, the arrow was very fierce, and Xing Yu stumbled several steps , and his back hit a rockery.

"Miss!" Xing Yu spat blood from her mouth, and called Yingchu in horror.

"Hurry up and hide!" Yingchu hugged Qi Anru and dodged another arrow, and only had time to say these four words, but because of distraction, his arm was scratched by the arrow.

The first few arrows seemed to be just a test, but soon, more arrows shot in from outside, and the screams of the nuns in the front yard could be heard from a distance.It showed that they were not the only ones attacked, but the entire family temple was covered by arrow rain.

Xing Yu huddled between the gaps in the rockery, and shouted to Ying Chu in panic: "Miss, come here quickly!"

Yingchu also wanted to go, but the rain of arrows became more and more dense, forcing her to dodge farther and farther.

Xing Yu shed tears anxiously, but there was nothing she could do. She showed her head a little, and an arrow flew past her hair.She couldn't even help Que'er who was a few steps away from her. She could only watch as Que'er was shot into a hedgehog and lay motionless in a pool of blood.

This is the first time she faces death directly, and it is still with such a shocking picture.Xing Yu pounded her mouth with her fist, but still couldn't help crying.

Yingchu hugged Qi Anru and hid farther and farther away, and couldn't see her shadow clearly in the heavy rain.

Xing Yu called out twice tentatively, but got no response. The fear and cold made her tremble uncontrollably. The rain became heavier and heavier. Amidst lightning and thunder, arrows rained down on her feet wave after wave.

After being shot by an arrow in the arm, Xing Yu had to get into the fake cave, the wound was bleeding non-stop, but she didn't care so much, she kept praying in her heart that the lady was safe and well, and that Lian Feng, who was staying in the wing room, could also Escaped.

At this time, Yingchu was leading Qi Anru to search for any shelter. The sound of thunder and rain interfered with her five senses. It was difficult for her to discern where the arrow came from. She had already been shot in three places on her body, but luckily none of them were. The deadly part does not hinder her actions.

Qi Anru was protected by Yingchu in her arms, she was completely terrified, she only knew to hold onto Yingchu's clothes tightly, like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood.

After the wave of arrow rain paused, they ran to some unknown place, and a well appeared in front of them.

Yingchu rushed over to take a closer look. This well should be used frequently. The water in the well is not shallow. There is a well wheel beside the well, and a three-finger-thick hemp rope is wrapped around it.Yingchu pulled it with his hands, and the hemp rope was very strong.

"I, let's go!" Qi Anru's voice trembled, crying, "There are no more arrows, let's go find brother!"

"No, the enemy will rush in soon!" Yingchu was very calm, the rain of arrows was so dense, there must be a lot of people coming, in case of encounter, she has no confidence to protect Anru, Anru is the only daughter of her uncle and aunt , she can't let her have an accident!
Yingchu ordered her: "Grab the well rope and jump down!"

Qi Anru was so blinded by the rain that she thought she had heard wrong: "What did you say?"

"There's no time, jump down!" Yingchu said again, she pulled out the arrow on her body, and the blood spurted out immediately, but it was quickly stopped by the Lingquan.

The rainstorm was beneficial at this time, and the blood that fell on the ground was quickly washed away, leaving nothing behind.

"You're crazy! You'll drown if you jump off!" Qi Anru yelled, "I don't want to die!"

Yingchu didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he grabbed her and dragged her to the well, Qi Anru was scared and wanted to hide, at this time, another wave of arrows came, Qi Anru screamed, and tightly grabbed Yingchu's clothes.

Yingchu wrapped her arms around her waist with one hand, grabbed the hemp rope with the other, and jumped into the well.

Qi Anru screamed loudly, recalling Cheng Mei who was drowned, thinking that she would soon die like her, broke down and burst into tears.

With a splash, the two of them fell into the water, and the well water immediately poured into Qi Anru's mouth. She struggled painfully in the water, and grabbed Yingchu's hand even tighter.

But the suffocation was only for a moment, Yingchu grabbed the hemp rope and pulled the two out of the water.

Qi Anru choked desperately, tears and snot flowed down her nose, her throat was burning with pain.

"It's okay," Yingchu's voice was still calm, echoing in the deep well, "Let's hide in the well for a while, and your brother will come to rescue us soon."

Qi Anru sobbed, the hand that grabbed her clothes changed to embrace Yingchu's waist, and buried her face in Yingchu's neck: "I thought I was going to die, woohoo, I almost died..."
