Nagasawa ordered the carriage to stop at the corner gate closest to the small courtyard, but it could not be avoided that many people saw Qin Zeng personally carrying Li Qingyi into the carriage.
Most of the people in the front yard had been immersed in official circles for many years, and at this time they had learned about the news through their own channels.
Princess Yuanheng had previously left the Mu family claiming to be ill in order to take Chang Lan out of the mansion. Now that she was not at the table, everyone's attention fell on Wei Shicheng.
Wei Shicheng had an inscrutable look on his face, neither explaining nor covering up, making it difficult for people to figure out the clues.
Seeing that Qin Zeng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Jiuluan and Changlan directly carried Li Qingyi into the carriage and looked at each other. No one dared to board Qin Zeng's carriage without permission.
Anyway, with Mr. Qin taking care of her, nothing would go wrong with the girl. The two of them got into the little carriage behind them very consciously.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw that his girl was so cowardly.
But Qin Zeng got on the carriage and still held her sideways, as if he had no intention of putting her down. She had no choice but to say: "Sir, put me down, I'm fine."
Qin Zeng sneered: "Is everything okay?"
He suddenly lifted her cloak and looked at her left leg without hesitation.
Although the black energy on the legs has gradually receded, the black lines are unevenly distributed and have different shades. They look like strange coiled patterns, which is very scary.
Coupled with the solidified poisonous blood on her feet and the arrow wounds and knife wounds on her legs, it was almost too horrible to look at.
"Is this okay?"
The light in the stone chamber was dim. Although Qin Zeng knew that Li Qingyi was seriously injured, he didn't see it as clearly as he did now.
Even a man would frown if he suffered such a crime.
But she said calmly that she was fine? !
"me……"
The corner of Li Qingyi's mouth twitched. She had already had a bridal ceremony with Qin Zeng, and she was no longer an untouched girl. However, this scene still made her cheeks blush, and even her neck was stained with a faint pink.
Although it was a terrible leg and not very attractive, it was still her leg after all!
In order to save her life, she had cut open her trouser legs with a knife. Now her entire leg was exposed to Qin Zeng's eyes...
She was stunned for a moment, then cowardly reached out and pulled the cloak to cover herself again, and whispered: "Now that the poison has been cured, the wounds from the sword and arrow will recover as before, so there is nothing wrong..."
Qin Zeng was so angry with her that his veins jumped. He didn't even say anything. He simply turned his eyes away, but still had no intention of putting her down. He seemed to be afraid that moving would cause pain to her wounds.
Li Qingyi didn't know where Qin Zeng got his anger, but he accepted his affection.
He took such care of her, and she had to show it no matter what.
After thinking about it, she said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for saving me."
Qin Zeng didn't appreciate her empty thanks. He didn't look at her and sneered: "If you really thought I could save you, you wouldn't think of harming yourself to save your life."
Li Qingyi was speechless by him.
Suddenly I remembered what he said when he appeared in the stone room, "You have so little confidence in me", and I couldn't help but suddenly realized.
It turns out that this person feels that his pride has been hurt?
She looked at Qin Zeng's face and explained in a good-tempered manner: "I don't disbelieve you, sir. It's just that the Mu family is extremely despicable and shameless. If I find a way to trip you up and make it impossible for you to escape, I will always keep it." It takes one life to see you again, right? Besides, the Mu family is so powerful, you still have to take care of the overall situation. How can you fall out with him so easily? In any case, I won't blame you."
Qin Zenggang's face softened because of her first sentence, "I can see you again, sir", but he became angry because of her last sentence, "You must take the overall situation into consideration".
He stared down at her: "You are sensible!"
"Yes, yes...the overall situation is the most important thing..."
Li Qingyi grinned, feeling that his tone was not right.
Qin Zeng's eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see into her bones: "Did you never hope that someone would do anything to keep you?"
Li Qingyi was startled.
In her previous life, when she was bullied in every possible way in the Wei Mansion, when she was plotted by a group of widows from the Mu family, and when she was framed by Mu Ying and Wei Jin'er, she had hoped for it, but the final result was bloody and cold.
The second uncle and second aunt tried to save her but were unable to do so, and they were also implicated by her.
She said: "It's better to rely on yourself to do everything. Hasn't that been what you have been thinking and doing these past few years?"
In her previous life, Li Qingyi followed Qin Zeng for five years. Although she had deep feelings for him, before loving him, she was in awe and gratitude. She could not put herself on the same level as him like an ordinary couple. .
She was like a little flower growing under his wings, using his power to save her family and punish those who harmed her.
She didn't want to be so passive in this life.
She wanted to be someone who could stand by his side, support him side by side, and support him side by side.
However, after hearing her words, Qin Zeng turned his head to the side again and ignored her.
Li Qingyi looked at him and seemed to be in a bad mood, and she suddenly felt tired and simply fell silent.
It must have been ordered by Qin Zeng. The carriage moved very smoothly without any bumps.
She was a little sleepy, closed her eyelids unconsciously, and felt a little dizzy.
Qin Zeng felt the person in his arms shrinking and looked over.
Seeing her frowning slightly, her face became darker and darker.
The stone room was dark and cold. She was a woman after all. No matter how good her health was, she could not withstand such pain and suffering due to the cold.
Just now, I had something in my heart, and I was still energetic after holding on for a while. Now I relaxed, and I didn't feel better.
He couldn't help but tighten his arms, thinking that he was almost there.
Li Qingyi regained consciousness slightly due to the force of his arm's restraint. He opened his eyes and suddenly said: "Mu Yuanchang has made up his mind to let Mu Ying take the blame for the fourth prince, so you just go along with it. It's a good thing to do this as a favor, and it's better not to break up." when."
Qin Zeng originally thought that Li Qingyi would be very unwilling to accept such a result, but he didn't expect that she would be so indifferent, "Is that what you think?"
Li Qingyi said calmly: "Of course I don't want to expose the Fourth Prince so cruelly to me, but those imprisoned women are unconscious, deaf and mute, and can no longer explain their origins and how they are trapped in this situation." The reason why it happened. Instead of trying to find out and end up in a unclear situation where both sides suffer, it is better to comply with Mu Yuanchang's wishes and expose it for the time being, and then figure it out later."
"Do you want the Mu family to feel that this governor has no intention of becoming their enemy?"
"That's right, even if you have to fight against the Mu family, you shouldn't be an adult, right?"
Qin Zeng's eyes deepened. Of course, if the emperor did not want to touch the Mu family, he would not check the Mu family. In the final analysis, everything still depends on the emperor's wishes.
If the emperor wants to attack the Mu family, no one can stop him, but the time has not come yet.
He also can't be too aggressive.
