245 Accident
Qing Yi came out of the bath, and Xiao Qi was drinking with the Duke of Chu under the moonlight. //. Visit 78 to download TXT//()
None of the dishes on the table were touched. Xiao Qi and Chu Guogong were just drinking their own wine. Chu Guogong was already eighty percent drunk, but Xiao Qi's eyes became clearer and clearer the more he drank. .
Qing Yi worked hard all night and was already hungry. She sat down at the table and ate some food. Then she got up and looked up to find that Xiao Qi's eyes had been fixed on her.
He frowned and licked his lower lip, but he still didn't give up.
He helped his father who was already drunk.
Although Chu Guogong has lost a lot of weight these days, he has grown taller after all. A drunk person does not know how to bear strength. The weight of his whole body pressed on Qing Yi's shoulders, causing her to stumble. Fortunately, Xiao Qi held her in time. Only then can I stabilize my figure.
"Thank you." Qing Yiyu 245 was unexpectedly polite and distant.
Xiao Qi glanced at her and said nothing, just helping her send Duke Chu back to his room.
Qing Yi took off her father's shoes, covered him with a quilt, and was about to retreat when Chu Guogong suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a drunken dream: "Qing Yi, my father's heart has been broken and he only has three years to live. You don't have to." For me again... Xiao Hua treats you sincerely, just go with Xiao Hua."
Although the Duke of Chu was drunk, he understood in his heart.
When he resisted arrest, his heart was broken by Ling Feng. Although Ling Yun took action, he could only save his life temporarily.
As Xiao Hua said, he only had three years to live.
Moreover, it became increasingly difficult for him to see, and he knew that his eyes might not be able to function anymore either.
This is like a useless person's body. Living for three more years will only make it more painful.
With his stubborn character, he would rather die in prison, so that his subordinates will completely feel cold towards Xiao Hua, and they will have to avenge him in the future, so that even if he is sitting in that position, he will not be safe.
However, if she really does that, if Qing Yi avenges him, the person she wants to kill is her lover. If he didn't take revenge, Qing Yi wouldn't be able to get over that hurdle in his heart, and he would inevitably feel resentful towards Xiao Hua.
Then, Qing Yi will definitely spend the rest of his life in pain.
Before, he had gone too far, too far to turn back, but he failed unexpectedly and failed to the point where he could never come back to life.
His wife had destroyed herself and the family because of her obsession. He was unwilling to destroy his daughter again because of his unnecessary obsession.
Besides, Xiao Hua has already had the intention to kill. In his current situation, he can no longer fight against Xiao Hua. He still insists on holding on, which will only make his subordinates who have followed him for many years sacrifice the steel knife in Xiao Hua's hand.
They didn't deserve to die.
Qing Yi felt sad for a while and shook the back of her father's hand, "I will not leave dad."
The Duke of Chu muttered something again and fell into a deep sleep. He had not slept well for a long time.
Qing Yi looked back at Xiao Qi who was standing aside. Xiao Qi understood it and tiptoed out with her.
After closing the door and stepping down the steps, Xiao Qi, who had been silent, finally spoke, "You... still want to go back?"
The last move by Snake Marquis pushed the relationship between his father and Xiao Hua to such extremes that it was no longer possible to hand over the relationship.
Qing Yi shook her head. Her mother was gone and her father had fallen to this point. How could she bear to leave her father behind again?
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, "Follow me back to Jiang Country."
Qing Yi didn't expect where to go, but she didn't want to have any entanglement with Xiao Qi. ()
Her refusal was expected by Xiao Qi, "I'm afraid the city will be closed tomorrow. If you don't follow me to Jiang Country, you can't leave Yanjing. And my deadline for returning to Jiang has come, and I can still stay in Yanjing at most. Two days. When I leave, this place will not be safe."
Qing Yi looked up at him, "Do you think this place is really safe?"
Xiao Qi smiled, "Of course it's not safe, but with me here, they don't dare to search."
Their eyes faced each other, and both pairs of eyes were extremely clear. They both knew that it was Xiao Hua who allowed Qing Yi's father and daughter to escape deliberately.
Xiao Hua can let them go privately, but he can't let them leave openly. Those who should be sealed in the city must be sealed, and those who should be investigated must still be investigated.
The officers and soldiers were worried about Xiao Qi's identity and naturally did not dare to forcefully check Xiao Qi. They could think of it, and Xiao Hua could also think of it. If Xiao Hua wanted to do this, he would be stricter with people other than Xiao Qi. Inventory.
So, using Xiao Qi is the only way for their father and daughter.
Qing Yi understood that if Xiao Hua really let her leave with Xiao Qi, it would be a sign of trust in the love between them.
Xiao Qi waited for a while, but saw no response from her, and then said: "You come back to Jiang Country with me. I will not force you to do anything. If you are not happy living in Jiang Country, you can leave."
Qing Yi tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then said, "Let me think about it." She turned back and entered the house.
The corner of Xiao Qi's mouth slowly raised into a happy smile, something interesting...
The next day, the city was indeed sealed. The city gates were guarded by fully armed officers and soldiers, and the people who came in and out were searched one by one. However, it was not the father and daughter in Qingyi who were searched, but the remnants of the rebellion.
Qing Yi felt something strange and walked to a small restaurant, followed by several officers and soldiers who came to eat.
Although this restaurant is not big, it is a time-honored one in Beijing. It tastes very good and the price is not high. Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether the customer is rich or poor. As long as you have good credit, you can eat what you want even if you are a beggar. Those who have money and status, if they are good at their food, there is no room for them to cook, so this place is really a place where all kinds of people come and go.
In a place like this, there is a lot of gossip, and the information is naturally well-informed.
The lockdown in Beijing has not affected the business here at all, and the hall is still full of guests.
Tsing Yi wore a top hat and a long white veil to cover her face. She looked around and saw two empty tables in the corner. She walked forward and sat down in the corner, leaving the seat next to them free.
As expected, the officers and soldiers walked to the empty table next to them and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, they began to scold the Duke of Chu and those who did not know what was good or bad and insisted on rebelling against Xiao Hua. They were so tired from last night that they were not allowed to drink even a sip of soup.
From what they said, it turned out that the Duke of Chu and Butler Zhang, along with those who rebelled in the prison, were all executed in the prison.
She could clearly see yesterday's massacre outside the window. There was indeed no one left, but there was no father in it.
Did they announce to the public that their father was dead?
Hearing this, Qing Yi listened more attentively.
However, the officers and soldiers cursed and cursed, but there was no further news. They were just frustrated.
They cursed until the waiter brought the food, and then they stopped. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, one of them sighed, "Those people rebelled. I pity the Queen."
The others also sighed after hearing this.
Qing Yi was startled for a moment, then turned his eyes subconsciously.
A person dressed as a consolation official had a look of unbearability on his face, "We all went to suppress the barbarians this time. See the empress with our own eyes... I have never seen such a witty and brave woman in my life, and this is the only one." Only a woman is worthy of our emperor. It’s a pity that the achievements she risked her life to gain were ruined by those people."
Another sighed: "Who says otherwise? Now she is banned from Kunning Palace. No one is allowed to see her for three years, and no one is allowed to see her. It is said that she has only one palace maid and a rough girl to serve her. If the palace maid is a good one, , that’s it, if you’re someone who looks down on others...hey, that’s really pitiful.”
Qing Yi's heart suddenly tightened - she was grounded.
No wonder the city gates were searched, but only for the remaining party members, not for her and her father.
"This morning I heard from the guards who were delivering rice to Kunning Palace. Standing at the door and seeing only the lonely back of the empress, it was really desolate. The emperor is so cruel to such a good girl."
Another person said: "The emperor has also tried his best. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would have been..." The person said and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Some people were dissatisfied and said: "How can a person who has achieved great things in the world be hindered by the love of his children? If it were not to appease the old subordinates of the Duke of Chu, how could it be as simple as a ban?"
Qing Yi's fingers that were holding the buns dug into the buns, and she frowned.
What he claimed was that she was banned from Kunning Palace.
Some people looked around and saw no one paying attention to what they were saying, so they lowered their voices and said: "This queen has a strong temper. The Duke of Chu was slaughtered. How can she stay in Kunning Palace honestly? With the queen's ability, then Kunning Palace cannot contain her."
Another person said: "Many people have doubted this issue, but the guard who delivered oil and rice in the morning was my brother who grew up with me. He also went to suppress the barbarians this time, and he was the first to fight. Anyone who has seen the empress with his own eyes will not fail to recognize it if the person inside is not the empress."
"Shh, stop talking, be careful of misfortune coming from your mouth." Someone else interrupted that person's words, and those people turned the topic to which flower house has a handsome young lady, and which girl has a big butt.
Although Qing Yi planned to leave, she still couldn't help but wonder who the person in Kunning Palace was.
He threw a few coins on the table, got up and left.
After wandering around the palace for a while, he knocked down a guard who was traveling alone, dragged him to a hiding place, took off his military uniform, put it on, and headed towards the palace.
When he arrived at the door, he lowered his head slightly and showed the entrance and exit sign.
Although the guards guarding the palace gate thought Qing Yi was unfamiliar, the sign was genuine and they did not embarrass her and let her pass.
Qing Yi walked in a hurry until he reached a deserted place. He recalled the map he had seen in his father's study, identified the direction, and rushed towards Kunning Palace indicated on the map.
When they arrived near Kunning Palace, although it was difficult to see a human figure from a distance, Qing Yi found that there were very light breathing sounds coming from the darkness around him from time to time.
If she hadn't gone through long-term lurking training, it would have been extremely difficult to discover the existence of these people.
Judging from the gentleness of their breath, most of these people's skills were superior to hers.
If he barged in like this, I'm afraid he would have been sent to hell without seeing the person in Kunning Palace.
Qing Yi slowed down his pace and moved forward slowly. Passing by a bush, he stopped and looked around.
The breath in the woods was suddenly held. Qing Yi knew that this was a sign that the lurker was becoming vigilant. If he found anything strange again, he would send a signal to notify his companions.
Qing Yi looked at it for a while and then walked towards the bush. Qing Yi could even feel that the man behind the bush had a knife in his hand, ready to take action at any time.
She walked calmly to the bushes, looked around again, and began to untie her belt. She stood in a very clever position, so that the person behind the bushes could see her movements, but not the situation in front of her.
From this point of view, he looked like a guard looking for a place to relieve himself.
The man behind the bushes began to breathe shallowly again. A smile so subtle that it was difficult to detect appeared on the corner of Qing Yi's mouth. Suddenly Feng Xueliang made a move and directly wrapped it around the man's neck, strangling the man so that he could not breathe, let alone speak. A certain one.
As soon as his eyes flashed, the man who was relieving himself by the bushes was already standing in front of him. Before he could see the person clearly, he felt a sudden pain in his head and lost consciousness.
Qing Yi reached out to check the pulse of the man's neck and confirmed that the man would not wake up for a while. Then he took back Feng Xueliang, peeled off the man's black clothes and put them on, and walked through the forest. Sometimes he came across someone lurking in a hidden position. , but according to the gestures and vague gestures she had learned in the Snake Kingdom, she was deceived and sneaked outside the Kunning Palace. She climbed over the wall and entered the Kunning Palace. She saw a palace maid opening the door with a sad face. It was a coincidence. cloud.
Qing Yi was startled for a moment, and hid behind a tree when she saw Qiao Yun carrying a tray with food into a small kitchen in the corner room. The little girl waiting at the door looked at the food in her hand and asked, "Isn't it not to your liking?"
Qiaoyun said 'hmm' and sighed.
The little girl complained in a low voice, "I have done this three times. A few days ago, I heard that the empress is easy-going, but I didn't expect that she is such a difficult person to serve. She is already in the cold palace, and she still thinks that she is the empress. What?"
Qiao Yun glared at her and said sternly: "We servants are not allowed to talk about our master in private. You have been in the palace for two years, why don't you understand these rules?"
The little girl was so frightened that her face turned slightly pale and she didn't dare to say anything anymore, so she followed Qiaoyun into the kitchen to help.
Qing Yi frowned slightly, Xiao Hua really got a substitute for her?
He quietly stepped forward, opened the window a crack, and looked inside.
At this look, the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen for an instant, and it was bone-chillingly cold.
Cai Yi, who should have been on Yunchenzhou Road, was lying lazily on the brocade couch in the house, holding a peeled lychee in his hand.
Qing Yi stared blankly, feeling confused.
After half a stick of incense time, Qiaoyun brought in the cooked meal and placed it on the couch next to Caiyi, "My queen, please use it."
Cai Yi only glanced at it lightly, then her face fell, "Is this also for people to eat? Ask Xiao Hua to come see me, I want to ask him, does he want me to starve to death here?"
Qiao Yun lowered his head and said: "Qiao Yun is not qualified to ask for an audience with the Emperor. If the empress wants to see the Emperor, she can only wait for someone from above to come and then ask them to tell the Emperor."
When Caiyi heard this, she became angry, raised her hand and slapped Qiaoyun, "You, a little palace maid, dare to talk back."
Tears slowly filled Qiaoyun's eyes and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Caiyi was so angry that she swept the food on the tray to the ground with her arms, then stepped on it and said, "Try it for yourself. Is this something for others to eat?"
Qiaoyun was startled for a moment, looking at the messy food on the ground, and then looking at Caiyi, unable to believe what she heard.
Caiyi pushed her to the ground, "Eat, are you poisoning this food, so you don't dare to eat it?"
