Preface by Chen Shuang.
This was the first time Qing Hui heard the name of his biological brother.
In the few words she learned, Qi Mingyue showed fear from time to time, as if the family were some kind of demon that eats people without spitting out their bones. Although Qing Hui didn't believe it, she was also curious about what kind of family they were.
Qi Wan had also thought in the past that if she left the capital, she would always have to meet them.
It wasn't that she didn't want to part with the position of Princess Chen or the glory and wealth of Yujing.
But no matter what her identity is, she is the wife of King Chen Mingwen. She is on the royal jade plate, and her household registration is restricted. She could not run away privately, nor could she ignore the upbringing provided by the Duke and make a fool of herself. So she has been waiting for the opportunity to negotiate with Lian Jinchen on an equal footing, whether it is reconciliation or divorce, so that she can leave in a legitimate way.
It's just that even Jinchen has been very busy, so busy that they rarely see each other, and he doesn't seem to want to discuss her stay or stay with her at all, and never answers the phone.
She could only wait.
Then came the unexpected force.
Now, after wandering around for a lifetime, I heard the names of my blood relatives in my previous life.
"I've never heard of it." Qing Hui replied honestly.
Liu Yingzhong's face suddenly became extremely ugly, even filled with a trace of hatred.
This makes Qing Hua a little confused.
"Master Liu, do you have something to say to me? How about we talk somewhere else?" Qing Hui asked tentatively.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, please." Liu Yingzhong came back to his senses slightly and realized that his attitude was a little off. He respectfully asked Qing Hui to leave the banquet hall.
The two went to the deck.
"You are the one from Duke Qi's mansion, right?" Liu Yingzhong asked directly without going around in circles.
"Oh? That's not true."
Qing Hui denied it, then lowered his eyes and glanced at his own outfit. He no longer deliberately suppressed his voice and replaced it with his own voice, "Am I pretending to be different?"
"Before boarding the ship, Lan Qiu called someone over and said that there was a girl disguised as a man who was very generous and gave him a handful of gold leaves to get on the ship. Although Chongzhou is rich, but gold leaves are something like this, they are probably from the nobility of the capital. For the things that are used to give rewards, ordinary wealthy people only use gold and silver at most. And the girl... has pierced ears. Everyone in the Tiancai Tower has seen it, so she can't hide it," Liu Yingzhong replied.
Qing Hua: "..."
As expected, she still has little knowledge and experience.
No wonder her father always said that if a small branch like her left him, it would be picked up and burned as firewood.
She didn't believe it.
But it is true that neither Qi Wan, a rebellious lady like Qi Wan, nor Qing Hui, the father's little sweetheart, have much experience in dealing with things.
"I am indeed from the capital, but I am not from Duke Qi's palace. I came here to investigate a case. Mr. Liu is a student. I must have heard of a very famous student in Chongzhou named Ji Xianning. I heard he was also called Jieyuan. , Does Young Master Liu know this person?" Qing Hui asked.
"Have you met Brother Ji?" Liu Yingzhong looked at her suspiciously and shook his head in confusion: "No, you must be related to Qi Guogong's Mansion. You and Brother Chen have exactly the same look and eyes. Brother Chen and I have known each other for more than ten years, so it is impossible to remember it wrong. . Since you are from the capital, you should also know about the real and fake daughter of Duke Qi’s palace. The real daughter is Brother Chen’s sister Chen Mingyue. No, it should be Qi Mingyue. The fake daughter is the girl raised by Duke Qi’s palace. It is said that she married into Prince Chen’s palace. Later he died of illness.”
"You faked your death?"
Liu Yingzhong's eyes widened, and his mind was a little confused.
He was stunned when he saw Qing Hua's appearance. Although men and women are not particularly similar even if they look similar, it is difficult to change the eyebrows and eyes. It is just that the overall outline and temperament are different. But those who look alike can still be recognized at a glance.
The first time he saw Qing Hui, he was sure that this girl was definitely Brother Chen's biological sister, the girl who was raised by Qi Guogong's mansion.
But now that he mentioned it, he remembered that he had heard that Princess Chen died of illness a year after entering the palace.
"There is no fake death, and I am indeed not the person you think. Maybe I just happen to look similar. When I was in Beijing, some people said that I looked like her." Qing Hui shook the fan in his hand, "But I think, She is like me."
Liu Yingzhong looked tense, obviously not believing her nonsense.
"What is your purpose?" Liu Yingzhong was wary.
"I said, I came to Ji Xianning for a case." Qing Hui replied.
"Oh," Liu Yingzhong seemed very angry, "You so-called nobles still care about whether there is a case or not. If there is really justice in the world, thunder should have come down long ago to kill those black-hearted powerful people who have no future!"
Qing Hua: "..."
Why is this person so stubborn?
She was wondering how to continue testing when she saw a small boat walking directly opposite them.
Standing on the bow deck was her tall and "ordinary" majesty.
Qing Hui saw him and was about to raise his hand to say hello. Suddenly something happened. Several heads popped up in the originally quiet water surface. They were all wearing night clothes. After jumping out of the water, several people raised their knives and pointed at Qing Hui. Hua and Liu Yingzhong chopped them down.
Qing Hui subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Liu Yingzhong who was stunned. He glanced around and saw that the painting boat had sailed into a quiet section of the river at some point. There were gardens on both sides of the river bank and there were no people around.
Someone probably noticed that there was a small boat on the opposite side and felt that the people on the opposite side were in the way. Two men in black jumped onto the small boat with knives and slashed at Lian Xueyin.
Qing Hu grabbed Liu Yingzhong to hide while using the fan in his hand to block it.
In her previous life, she studied medicine with Taoist Priest Yuan He, and she was very good at using golden needles, but her martial arts skills were like a three-legged cat.
Qing Hui naturally has the ability to protect herself, but if she throws a vine with her bare hands now, she may not need to assassinate him, but she can scare Liu Yingzhong to death.
In desperation, she could only shout,
"Husband, help!"
At the moment when the words fell, a dozen men in black rushed around, as if they were self-destructing, their bodies exploded with a "bang", the deck was covered with blood residue, and the corpses rolled away. One place.
Before Qing Hui let go of Liu Yingzhong's arm, Liu Yingzhong made a "vomit" sound, turned around and vomited out.
Qing Hui's eyes widened.
Fortunately, Lian Xueyin hugged her waist in time and took her away from the deck.
Landing on the railing of the boat, before Qing Hui had time to ask anything, he heard screams one after another.
It turned out that someone inside heard the noise and came out to see what was going on, but was frightened.
Liu Yingzhong was so vomited that the sky was dark and the ground was dark. His legs were so weak that he could not stand, and he did not dare to fall down. His back was pressed tightly against the not-so-thick ship pillar behind him, for fear of falling into the blood residue on the ground.
What a nightmare.
Qing Hua tugged at the corner of her lower lip and couldn't help but complain,
"Are you too useless?"
