Mrs. He Da knew clearly that Gongsun Qing was just faking, and wanted to expose her to embarrass the palace and make them ashamed to mention the word "harmony" again, but Li Qingyi tightly held her wrist tightly to prevent her from moving.
"Hey! Grandma is so cute, but she is so strong. If you don't let me go quickly, you will almost break my wrist!"
Li Qingyi practices small grabbing with Qin Zeng every day. He has all the skills in his hands, so he naturally has some strength.
She smiled slightly, grabbed Mrs. He's wrist and pulled her away from Gongsun Qing's bed before letting her go, "It's not that I am strong, it's that Mrs. He is too weak."
Mrs. He's temples were beating with anger, but she didn't dare to really make a fuss. After all, the Zhenbei Palace was different from the past. If someone came to force her, she would not be able to fight against it. She could only rub it hard and pinch Gongsun Qing. in hand.
Mrs. Hong looked at Mrs. He Da, "The words have been explained, and people have seen it. My wife should go home quickly to persuade her son not to be stubborn."
Mrs. He snorted coldly in her heart, but she had no choice at the moment. She glanced at Gongsun Qing unwillingly, turned around and left the room.
Everyone looked back at Gongsun Qing and gave her a reassuring look.
Gongsun Qing's heart warmed up, and tears slipped down, leaving a deep groove on his face.
Everyone couldn't bear to watch, leaving only Hong in the room, and retreated out one after another.
The old lady told Mrs. Cheng, "Go and see Mrs. He off."
Mrs. Cheng understood that she was afraid that Mrs. He would cause trouble if she was out of their sight, so she quickly replied: "Yes, I will go right now."
However, the moth came anyway. Just as everyone was walking out of the courtyard, they suddenly heard a very noisy sound coming from near the old lady's residence in the middle courtyard.
Li Qingyi looked up and saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of Jingyuntang.
"Did you get lost?"
Everyone's hair stood on end. There was no place where there was water, and it happened to be the old lady's residence. Not to mention the precious furnishings of Jingyuntang, the accounts, land deeds and other items placed in the room are all very important things!
"Quick! Go back quickly!"
The old lady was also anxious, and everyone hurriedly followed her to the middle courtyard.
The servants from all over the house were already running to Jingyuntang carrying pots and buckets on their own initiative.
Li Qingyi said: "It's almost dark now, but you can't see much fire. The fire shouldn't be big. Don't worry, old lady."
After everyone heard what she said, they felt a little relieved, but they didn't dare to stop.
Li Qingyi then said to the old lady: "Grandma, it's a troubled time in the house, and the uncle is not here. We must not be careless. We should have someone tell the stewards to cheer up and be vigilant, lest anyone takes advantage of the troubled waters. , Mother Zhao hasn’t found it yet!”
Everyone felt that this was reasonable when they heard the words, and the old lady quickly ordered Feng He, "Go ahead as Grandma said."
Feng He quickly agreed, "Yes, old lady, I will go right away."
When we rushed back to the Jingyuntang Hall in the middle courtyard, the servants had already put out the fire. The fire was not big, but there was more smoke.
While the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, she felt even more unlucky, "Why are there so many things going on today, and someone named He came to worry about it, and there was a fire in the yard again!"
Li Qingyi's scalp exploded when he heard this.
Qin Zeng always said that when something goes wrong, there must be a demon. There are not so many coincidences in this world.
Besides, Mrs. He, whether she came to see you or to make peace, she shouldn't have come so late!
"Oops!" Li Qingyi turned around and ran towards Hanshan Pavilion, "Changlan! Follow me quickly!"
Chang Lan was startled by her shouting, and then hurriedly followed. Everyone was a little puzzled when they saw the master and servant suddenly running away without even saying a word to them.
The old lady frowned and her expression suddenly changed, "Go to Hanshan Pavilion!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the smart ones immediately thought of something and hurriedly followed the old lady to Gongsun Yi's yard.
Li Qingyi ran to Hanshan Pavilion, already out of breath. She stared at the door, "Why is it so quiet?"
"Most of the servants have gone to Jingyuntang to put out the fire. It's normal that no one is moving around..." Changlan said as she pushed open the courtyard door and saw a pool of black things condensing there. She knelt down to take a look. , said in shock: "It's blood!"
Li Qingyi was startled when he heard this and saw a girl lying at the door with a slender knife stuck in her back.
Changlan said: "It seemed like he was about to run out of the yard, but was killed from behind."
Li Qingyi had a bad feeling in his heart and pushed the courtyard door hard.
The courtyard door was wide open, but no lights were lit, and Li Qingyi could only vaguely see a few figures lying on the ground.
At this time, the old lady and others also arrived. The third wife, Yuan, saw her standing at the door and asked hurriedly: "What happened? Where is Brother Yi?"
Li Qingyi took a breath and said, "Chang Lan, go and light the lamp."
Chang Lan took out the fire stick he carried with him from his arms, pulled off the lid, blew in, and entered the yard.
The lantern was quickly lit, and with just one lantern, everyone saw what was going on in the yard.
The third wife, Mrs. Yuan, screamed and covered her mouth, and the old lady's face turned pale.
Chang Lan quickly walked around the houses and came back and said: "I didn't see the second master's shadow. He has disappeared. There is no one alive in the yard."
really.
The old lady looked ugly, "Didn't he drink medicine and be unable to use his internal strength?"
Chang Lan said: "Second Master is a top master. Even if he has no internal strength, he can easily kill these helpless servants with just a few moves."
Li Qingyi said: "Mrs. He came to the door and insisted on seeing the eldest sister. She led everyone to the west courtyard. I'm afraid someone instigated and bribed her to lure us away from the mountain and lure us away from the central courtyard. And the servant in Hanshan Pavilion People, we were ordered to guard Gongsun Yi at all times, but Gongsun Yi couldn’t lure them away, so he killed them all! Then he set fire to the old lady’s yard and attracted others there so that he could escape in the chaos!"
Chang Lan was puzzled: "But there are many masters left behind by the uncle inside and outside the house, how could it be possible that he didn't notice it at all?"
Li Qingyi said angrily: "Maybe he has other ways to prevent others from finding out."
Lin was lost, and now Gongsun Yi also ran away.
Even when they were on tight guard!
It's really annoying...
The third wife, Mrs. Yuan, felt a little panicked, "What should we do now?"
Li Qingyi thought for a while and said: "Third aunt will accompany my grandmother back first, and I will send someone to send a message to the uncle first."
Yuan nodded, "That's good."
Li Qingyi turned around and went back to the east courtyard.
The sky has turned completely dark, and the lights that were supposed to be lit in the evening due to the fire in Jingyuntang have not been lit yet. The servants must have been in a hurry before they had time.
The shadows of the trees cast dark shadows on the ground and were blown by the wind, looking a little scary.
Li Qingyi stroked his arm, "It's getting colder every day."
Chang Lan behind him did not answer, only a muffled thud was heard.
Li Qingyi turned around in confusion and saw Chang Lan lying down a few steps away from him, not knowing whether he was alive or dead!
Li Qingyi was shocked when he saw a figure walking out from the side, it was Gongsun Yi!
"You...you didn't leave?"
Gongsun Yi smiled bitterly, "My eldest brother has guarded the house so tightly inside and outside. How can I escape as a person without internal strength? I can only wrong my eldest sister-in-law."
Li Qingyi pursed his lips, he was trying to hold himself hostage.
"You killed Changlan?!"
Gongsun Yi shook his head, "No... I don't want you to hate me."
His last words were spoken in such a low voice that Li Qingyi didn't really hear them, but she had no time to care about what he said because Gongsun Yi had already walked towards her.
Li Qingyi's two moves were not even considered a three-legged cat in front of Gongsun Yi, so she backed away nervously.
However, Gongsun Yi's footwork was strange, and he came around behind her in a few moments. Before she could react, her eyes went dark and she didn't know anything.
*****
Chang Ning went to chase Zhao's mother but failed to catch her. He returned to the palace to find Li Qingyi, but heard that she had not returned to the east courtyard. Not only was he a little puzzled, he went to the middle courtyard to look for her, and met Chang Lan who had passed out on the way.
Changlan woke up and when he saw it was Changning, he said anxiously: "Hurry! Grandma has been kidnapped by the second master!"
Just as he was talking, there was a noise from the front yard.
The two looked at each other. Gongsun Yi must have wanted to leave the palace and alerted the people left behind by the uncle. But with the aunt in his hands, the guards did not dare to act rashly and could only let Gongsun Yi leave with Li Qingyi.
When Changning Changlan arrived, Gongsun Yi had already galloped away on horseback!
Chang Ning shouted, "Send a message to the uncle quickly! Let's lead people to chase him!"
The old lady here heard that Gongsun Yi killed everyone in the courtyard and kidnapped Li Qingyi. Her eyes darkened and she felt dizzy. "It's true that you know people but don't know their hearts. They, mother and son, are so heartless and crazy!"
After Lin established a foothold in the palace, the old lady relied on her very much and trusted her to handle everything. Lin did everything perfectly and made few mistakes. But who would have thought that she would secretly use her identity as the Princess of Zhenbei to socialize and plot to restore her country?
And Gongsun Yi.
No one in the palace knew how much the old lady valued this grandson, but so many years of love and training were in vain, and he actually raised a murderous traitor.
One can imagine her frustration.
Yuan advised: "Changning Changlan was raised by Brother Zhen. They have already gone after him with their men. They will definitely rescue Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law!"
When Hong and others heard about such a big event, they all rushed over. Gongsun Nan and other young girls were so frightened that they started crying, "Sister-in-law, will everything be okay? Why is the second brother like this!"
Gongsun Tian also asked in a trembling voice: "Second brother really killed everyone in the yard?"
Mrs. Yuan was afraid that the old lady would feel uncomfortable hearing them call her "Second Brother" over and over again, so she quickly said, "Don't cause any trouble."
The old lady took a breath and asked, "Have all the people from the palace been sent out? Has Brother Zhen come back? Where are they?"
Hong said: "The guards have been sent out to look for the person. Brother Zhen has also received the news and is on his way back."
*****
"hiss……"
When Li Qingyi woke up, he found that everything was dark.
