Because the drug he inhaled was not too much, Pei Qi woke up on the way back home.
In the carriage, she lay on a small couch that was not too large. She stood up dizzy and glanced out the window before confirming her current situation.
Rong Qin was probably still dealing with the assassins in the attic just now. The driver was Yao Yue. Unexpectedly, this girl looked frail and petite, but she was still a strong martial artist.
Pei Qi saw the way she was fighting just now.
That's right, there are no useless people around Rong Qin.
Next, it was time for her to think about how to meet Xiao Si.
I heard from Duan Qianjun that after Rong Qin took away Xiaosi that day, he imprisoned him in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there is no doubt that the person in Xingyuan was Xiaosi.
As her medicine cup, Xiao Si's body was nourished with various rare poisons, so his body was always weak and he needed special doctor's care to avoid accidents.
In order to prevent Xiaosi from losing his life and losing Zhaolan Palace in vain, Rong Qin sent Xi Qing to live in Xunyuan and take special care of it.
Rong Qin did not allow anyone to approach Nettle Garden, and there were secret guards all around Nettle Garden. Firstly, it was for someone with evil intentions to assassinate Xiaosi, and secondly...
It was to prevent her from missing, and to send someone to take blood when the mysterious attack occurred.
Despite not getting rid of her big worry, Rong Que still felt confident. Isn't it just because he knew that with Xiaosi in hand, she would fall into a trap sooner or later.
However, Rong Qin still underestimated her.
Pei Qi smiled bitterly, and after thinking about it, he took out a sharp short knife from his sleeve, which he got from Duan Qianjun.
People, always be tough on yourself when you are desperate.
If she wants to meet Xiao Si, she can only start with Xi Qing now.
Since she couldn't go to Xingyuan, she would tie Xi Qing down and let him stay in Qingxinyuan.
Rong Qin...will he send Xiaosi to Qingxinyuan?
Then... bet again.
Pei Qi clenched the blade tightly, and a cold light suddenly flashed through her clear eyes. The sharp dagger stabbed into her waist and abdomen.
The heartbreaking pain made Pei Qi immediately frown and groan.
But Pei Qi still felt that it was not enough. He endured the pain and made a few more cuts in many inconspicuous places, leaving himself covered with bruises.
It wasn't until more and more blood flowed from her body that she felt exhausted, then she refused to give up and lay back on the couch again.
She raised her increasingly weak eyelids and stared weakly at the corner of the sky outside the window.
In the past, she always liked to have everything under control. She would not do anything until everything was planned and ready to ensure nothing went wrong.
But I don’t know when it started…
Well... It's probably because after being rescued from the execution ground by Jiang Lingfeng, almost everything she did was a big gamble decided by those illusory and humble chips.
Same thing this time.
I hope what she sees when she wakes up will be Xi Qing...
…
After Rong Qin returned home, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yao Yue running out in a hurry with an anxious look on her face.
After seeing him, Yao Yue knelt on the ground with a plop: "Sir! Madam, she has many stab wounds on her body, and she can't stop bleeding. I'm afraid that Madam has lost too much blood. Please go and save her!"
Knife wound?
Why are there knife wounds?
Wasn't she just drugged?
Rong Qin had doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to think too much at this time. He winked at Tu You and said, "Go find Xi Qing!"
"yes!"
When Rong Qin rushed to Qingxinyuan, Pei Qi was lying there quietly, with a pale face, weak breathing, and almost no trace of his humanity.
He walked to the bed and saw clearly the criss-crossing wounds on Pei Qi's body, as well as the large pool of blood on her waist and abdomen. He couldn't touch her for a while, so he had to vent his anger on Yao Yue who was beside him.
Rong Qin's inner strength surged and he appeared in front of Yao Yue in an instant. He raised his hand and pinched her neck. The veins on the back of his hand popped out and he lifted her up: "Didn't you say that she was just drugged?"
"Cough cough... cough!" Yao Yue's face turned red, and fear instantly hit her body: "Sir... spare my life..."
"You'd better give a reasonable explanation for the truth!"
Rong Qin waved his long arm and threw Yao Yue out, falling to the wall beside him, the cold light in his eyes not diminishing at all.
Yao Yue slid down from the wall and knelt on the ground, vomiting a stream of blood from her mouth. However, she still forced herself to bow her head in front of Rong Qin and said tremblingly: "Madam Xu... was injured by the assassin in the attic. Yao Yue was careless and failed to discover Madam's injury in time... Please punish me!"
A moment of carelessness?
If everyone under his command had been careless, he, Rong Qin, might have died in the court long ago!
"Sir, Mr. Xi has arrived."
At the same time, Tu You opened the door and walked in with Xi Qing.
Seeing the seriously injured Yaoyue beside him, Tu You knew what happened without even thinking about it, but he didn't dare to say anything and stepped aside.
Xi Qing stood in front of Pei Qi and placed the medicine box on the table next to her. When he saw the wounds all over her body, he frowned solemnly.
He glanced at Rong Qin: "The old injury hasn't healed yet, so why did I get such a serious new injury? Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If the blood continues to flow, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover."
Xi Qing unbuttoned Pei Qi's chest and took off her coat beforehand. The lining inside was soaked in blood and was terrible to look at.
He took a general look, and finally focused his gaze on the deepest wound on her waist and abdomen. He cut off the fabric next to the wound and stopped her bleeding first.
"Her wound is too deep. It will split if you are not careful. It needs to be sutured." Xi Qing continued his movements and said to Rong Qin: "I am responsible for taking care of the child of the Pei family. I haven't taken it with me for a long time." The numbness has dissipated, I'm afraid she'll wake up from the pain and move around later, so help me hold her down."
The most important thing now was to bring Pei Qi back from the hell gate. Rong Qin had no choice but to let Yao Yue go first, turned around and glanced at Tu You: "The truth is, I don't want to see her again in the future."
"I understand." Tu You nodded, approached Yao Yue, and carried the person out.
After the bleeding stopped, Xi Qing took out a medium-sized silver needle from the medicine box, threaded it through, then lit a candlestick and placed it on it to heat it.
While Xi Qing was busy at the side, Rong Qin approached Pei Qi and stared at the almost defeated face, feeling something strange in his heart.
But it was fleeting.
Ye Rou is just a chess piece. He is willing to deign to save her, which can be regarded as the most benevolent thing. Why should he feel guilty?
Rong Qin, you have never been a good person.
Your goodwill should have been buried in the land of Anni during the war twenty years ago.
Xi Qing finished what he was doing and came over, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Rong Qin's solemn face. In a daze, he seemed to see a different emotion.
Like... apologetic?
Or maybe he had misunderstood. After the fall of the Great Anni Dynasty, Rong Qin had always been cold-blooded in killing and treated the entire Dasheng as an enemy, but he had never apologized to anyone.
