Although the one who was seen trying to kill Chu Yixuan was only the Eastern Palace Guard Cheng Feng, since this Cheng Feng was Chu Yizhao's personal bodyguard, then Chu Yixuan must be involved in this matter!
Cheng Feng and Chu Yixuan had no enmity with each other, if not for Chu Yizhao's orders, how could Cheng Feng have wanted to kill Chu Yixuan?
Therefore, Chu Yixuan and the power behind him, will definitely make good use of this matter and give the Eastern Palace a heavy blow! If Chu Yizhao desperately wanted to send someone to kill Chu Yixuan, then he would not be able to escape his death sentence!
Although Xu Rouzhi was aware that she was going to deal with Chu Yizhao, Xu Rouzhi did not expect the situation to escalate to such a state.
So, Chu Yixuan had the victory in his hands?
Xu Rouzhi lowered her eyes in a daze. There were some things that she had obviously mentally prepared, but she was still unable to accept it! Thinking about how Chu Yixuan didn't save her, but instead turned his head to deal with her when she was in need, Xu Rouzhi felt so uncomfortable and painful in her heart.
— — No, to Chu Yixuan, after defeating the Eastern Palace, what he would be able to obtain would far exceed his own safety!
And the position of crown prince, yes.
How could it be possible that he was planning all this just to protect himself?
So, relatively speaking, what was she? How could she be more important than his own safety, much less his position as the crown prince?
"Are you okay?" Feng Qingmo looked at her and asked softly.
"Oh, nothing!" She smiled, trying not to smile too hard. Since when had she held in her heart expectations that she shouldn't have?
That was why he was so disappointed now.
She adjusted her mood and took two bites of the dish, "Mm, this … What goose? "It's delicious."
Feng Qingmo stared at her: "That dish was a roasted chicken. This is the real way to become a goose in the Taihu Lake. "
"Oh …" She awkwardly bit down on her chopsticks, "Um, thank you for saving me, Feng Qingmo."
"Princess, you're too polite." Feng Qingmo laughed lightly.
"Um," she fluttered her long eyelashes, "I … I have another name, Qi Yu."
Qi Yu? Feng Qingmo was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Miss Qi."
"Yes." Xu Rouzhi nodded. From today onwards, she would draw a clear line between herself and the identity of the Princess Qi, and also a clear line between her and Chu Yixuan!
She, should just return to being Qi Yu! Just treat it as a rebirth.
The sky gradually turned dark. The night gradually shrouded the sky, as if a heavy curtain had fallen over it.
"Are we going to stay here forever?" Qi Yu hugged her knees and sat by the fire, staring blankly at Feng Qingmo.
"Don't worry." Feng Qingmo said softly, "I'll go out again to see if the danger has been resolved. In a while, I'll come back to help you find a place to stay."
"Thank you!" This was the only thing that could be said now!
Being unrelated, Feng Qingmo was willing to save her, and even injured in order to save her. Judging from his current situation, he really did not know how he could repay Feng Qingmo's kindness.
Feng Qingmo merely smiled faintly, "We can all be considered the victims of that Madam Su and her descendant. There is no need for Miss Qi to be so courteous."
Qi Yu forced a smile, "En."
After Feng Qingmo left, he left Qi Yu alone in this dilapidated firewood house. Recalling the things that he had experienced in the Prince Qi Palace, Qi Yu's heart felt a bit choked with pain.
Well, she couldn't stay here any longer, or she would go crazy.
Qi Yu stood up, climbed up the windows and shook the door. She wanted to think of a way to open that lock, but in the end, all of her efforts were in vain — she couldn't even reach that lock!
"Little girl, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the door, startling Qi Yu, and causing him to hastily retract his hand. He looked outside at the well-mannered figure in alert, and asked, "Who are you?"
It was a medium height man, and as she slowly approached the door, the light from the fire shone through the gap in the door and onto the man's face, allowing Qi Yu to clearly see his disgusting toad face, she stared at Qi Yu with those malicious eyes that were rolling around: "What are you doing, little girl?"
F * ck!
Qi Yu's heart tightened, she had a feeling that this toad face in front of him was not a good thing, although it was not what she looked at, it might look at her temperament!
Isn't this an old house? Where did this guy come from?
Qi Yu fell from the window and remained silent.
She was thinking, if this person was not a good person, would Feng Qingmo be able to come back in time to save her?
"You're not going to say?" The toad stuck his head out the window and looked at the fire in the room. He chuckled, "This is my territory. Little girl, how did you get in?"
"Your territory?" Qi Yu slowly clenched her medicine bag. This person looked like a homeless person, but had this place already become a place for homeless people to settle down?
"That's right!" The toad proudly scanned the courtyard, his expression changing, "This entire courtyard belongs to me, no one dares to enter. How did you come in?"
Trouble, Feng Qingmo did not manage to figure out the situation and mistakenly brought her to this toad face area! She slowly pulled down the medicine bag, just as she was about to sprinkle the ointment on the toad's face, the toad's eyes moved quickly, with a wave of its hand, a rock was thrown towards Qi Yu's forehead!
Qi Yu was unable to dodge in time, she only felt a sharp pain from his forehead. She couldn't help but to reach out to cover his forehead, and with a "Hua la" sound, she opened the door. At the same time, the toad face kicked the door open.
A dizzy feeling suddenly spread throughout Qi Yu's body, causing him to scream miserably in her heart.
Then, he quietly lost consciousness.
"Aiya, a piece of fat fell from the sky!" The toad bent his head over to look at Qi Yu, salivating as he said, "No, it's not big fat meat, it's a big beauty!"
Touching Qi Yu's smooth and delicate face, the toad face swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and with a cheap smile, she said, "Beautiful girl, since you have delivered yourself to me, I'll take good care of you tonight!"
As he said that, the toad face came to hug Qi Yu, wanting to carry him onto the haystack. Suddenly, as if something had smashed onto the tiger's mouth, he loosened her hand in pain and let out a "wah wah" sound!
"Fuck, what is that thing?" The toad covered its mouth and roared angrily.
But when he rushed to the door, there was nothing there.
The toad returned to Qi Yu's side in shock and confusion. It found that Qi Yu was still unconscious, and a rock had fallen on the ground.
"What's going on?" The toad turned its head in shock and saw that it was still quiet outside the door. There was no sign of anyone outside.
Could it be that it was just an illusion?
The toad tried to hug Qi Yu again, but a black wind blew past, as if something had struck his eyes. "Help, help —"
Miserable cries for help came from the toad's face, which had its hands tightly covering its eyes.
"Do you still dare to lay your hands on this girl?"
Feng Qingmo slowly walked out of the darkness and into the room. A sharp sword shining with a cold light was placed on the shoulders of the toad.
The toad held its painful eyes tightly, not seeing anything. It felt the cold blade on its shoulder and begged for mercy in panic, "Please spare me, hero! I will not dare! I will not dare!" This little one does not know that this young lady is a hero, and accidentally made a mistake.
Feng Qingmo snorted, waving a powerful gust of wind from his palm, knocking the toad's face to the ground. Under the toad's miserable cries, he turned, picked up Qi Yu and walked out the door in big strides. When he was at the door, he casually lifted up his hand, and Qi Yu's medicinal bag that fell on the ground flew into his hand.
The slowly waking Qi Yu, borrowing the weak sunlight to see Feng Qingmo's face clearly, could not help but be shocked and overjoyed. "Feng Qingmo? "You're back?"
Feng Qingmo stopped and gently put her down. He said in a warm voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you here alone."
Qi Yu still wanted to tell her about what had just happened, but upon hearing Feng Qingmo's words, she couldn't help but be stunned. "You already know?"
Feng Qingmo nodded lightly.
"Then... Just now … Did anything happen? "
Her voice was so soft, so careful, as if she was afraid that if she said too much, the situation would worsen.
Feng Qingmo lightly patted her shoulder. "No one will dare hurt you. "Don't worry."
Qi Yu was startled, she looked at Feng Qingmo, and could not help but sniff. She turned her face away and let out a dry cough. "In this world, it's really hard to take even a single step without martial arts."
Feng Qingmo was quiet for a moment, then said: "There are many people in the world, and they might not be as weak as you."
"Yes, yes." "Qi Yu nodded, and looked around, Feng Qingmo had already brought her to the main street, where the streets were empty and cold, the cold wind was blowing painfully on her face. Where should we go? "
She asked "us," not "me."
After asking this question, Qi Yu felt that she said it wrongly. She had forgotten. After leaving the Prince Qi Palace, the rest of her road of life should be up to her. Feng Qingmo did not have any relationship with her, and he did not owe her anything. So, what responsibility did he have to stay by her side to protect her, to take care of her?
However, this world was too dangerous. If not for Feng Qingmo, she really couldn't believe what would have happened to his.
Feng Qingmo said: "The people from the Madam Su have already retreated, we are safe now. I'll take you to an inn to rest first before making any other plans. "
"You have nothing else important to do?"
"Not really."
"Alright then!" I was afraid that I would interfere in your affairs! "
Feng Qingmo turned his head around, and in the darkness, there seemed to be a trace of a smile on his face as he gazed at her, "Protecting Miss Qi is also a very important matter."
Qi Yu blinked her eyes, "Really?"
Feng Qingmo nodded his head, looking serious: "Unless Miss Qi doesn't need me."
"Free?"
"Of course."
Qi Yu pursed her lips and smiled: With a bodyguard with such high martial arts and such handsome body that's willing to protect me for free, what reason do I have to reject?
Yes, it must be as Feng Qingmo had said, there were many good people in this world, what was there to be afraid of? With Feng Qingmo here, she had even less to fear!
