Chapter 244

A petite figure galloped on the dark bluestone road towards the brightly lit yard not far away.

At this time, there was a rough envoy waiting for orders in a remote courtyard in the Shangshu house of the Ministry of war.

The woman just took out the empty dishes and chopsticks. Seeing the hurried maid running in from the outside, she frowned and shouted, "if you don't walk well, it's like something!"

This woman was originally a person around Mrs. Shang Shu. She was sent here to take care of Chunyu. In fact, she is monitoring Chunyu.

The maid dared not offend her, apologized and bowed her head to one side.

After the woman scolded and walked away, the maid immediately rushed into the house and said to Chunyu, who was sitting at the table drinking warm water: "Chunyu, it's bad!"

For her behavior of shouting her life, Chunyu was a little unhappy at the bottom of her heart, but her face didn't show the slightest.

She immediately put down her glass and stood up. She looked worried at the maid and asked in a warm voice, "what's the matter? What happened? Why is her face so ugly?"

The maid said anxiously, "just now I heard the master and wife outside the dining room say they want the young master to kill your baby!"

Her relationship with Chunyu is not good. It is only because Chunyu is generous that she risks to report to her.

Chunyu trembled all over and stared at the handmaid in front of her, trying to see a trace of lying on her face.

But she was disappointed. There was no sign of lying on the maid's face.

Spring rain, like a heavy blow, turned pale and murmured, "it's impossible, madam. How could she... Want to kill my child."

This in her belly is the first child of the young master.

……

The bed board is too hard and there is no quilt or sheet. Even if there is a brazier in the house, Qu Ling makes do with it. After sleeping all night, she wakes up the next day with a glorious cold.

When the royal guards came in with hot water, they saw their young lady sucking her snot and felt distressed, "it's all my fault that I didn't buy a cold quilt in advance, which made the young lady catch a cold."

Qu Ling shrank on the bed with her clothes wrapped in brocade clothes. Hearing the speech, she looked at the brocade clothes, and her eyes fell on the light ink under her eyes. She had no choice but to say, "I don't blame you. I'm in bad health."

If she had stayed out all night, nothing would have happened to her.

In the final analysis, her body was damaged.

Rong Xi leaned lazily on the door frame, looked at Qu Ling with a smile and said sarcastically, "for a man, he is good at taking his heart and blood essence and makes himself half dead. He even ignores his own health and life. Now where are others when you have an accident?"

Qu Ling was about to refute. Rong Xi then said, "think about it carefully. How many times have you had an accident in the past two years? Xiao Jingyue once protected you unharmed? In my opinion, Xiao Jingyue is not as good as Murong banquet. At least you have lived safely under the protection of Murong banquet for so many years."

"Shut up!" Qu Ling was annoyed immediately because she couldn't hear others speak ill of Xiao Jingyue.

The royal guards frowned when they saw their young lady's voice and looked at the man standing at the door.

All of a sudden, he was stared at by two women in the house. Rong Xi spread his hands innocently on his face. His tone was very helpless and said, "well, you love so much that you can die for him. You love so much that you don't mind that their family killed your parents. I have nothing to say. I'm in trouble."

Qu Ling's anger disappeared instantly when she heard that her parents were killed by Xiao Jingyue's family.

Instead, it is sad, as well as a trace of resentment and killing.

Rongxi ignored the way of royal clothes and wanted to stare a hole in his body. He was about to turn around. He heard Qu Ling's voice say softly: "I remember when I was still in tonghuai mansion, you said that the owner of the cave in Huaihe River was dead and the body was buried under the worry free lamp cluster."

Rong Xi stepped forward, raised his eyebrows and looked back at Qu Ling, "what's the matter?"

Qu Ling slowly turned her head and looked at him calmly, "how do you know?"

Rong Xi was stunned. A meaningful smile appeared on his beautiful face. "I killed the hole keeper. How do you say I know?"

Qu Ling closed her eyes and didn't ask again.

There was nothing to eat in the house. Rongxi went out and came back with a pheasant and a hare.

Royal Guards picked it up without saying a word and carried it into the kitchen.

Rongxi looked at Qu Ling sitting on the low stool and said, "do you know that now people in Qijing are saying that you are dead."

Qu Ling was stunned and frowned.

When Chu Yu took her out of the prison the day before yesterday, in order to prevent her escape from prison from being exposed too quickly, he got her a double.

Now it seems that the double died in prison instead of her.

Seeing Qu Ling's silence, Rong Xi asked with great interest, "what would happen if Xiao Jingyue woke up and learned that you were 'dead in the prison'

Qu Ling gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

If Rongxi couldn't see Qu Ling's dislike and was bored, he went on: "the Japanese Prince died and other envoys of the Japanese country fled. It won't be long before Qi and Japan will fight. If Xiao Jingyue attacked Qi because of your death at that time, it won't be long before Qi should change its Dynasty."

After a pause, she suddenly approached Qu Ling. Her beautiful eyes stared at her pale face and asked with a smile: "did you deliberately 'die' in the prison?"

In the final analysis, the emperor of Qi state was the one who killed her parents. If she forced Xiao Jingyue to attack Qi state through her own "death", it would not be impossible.

Qu Ling looked at him and sneered, "how do you know that someone is not playing the drama of 'Mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind'

Rong Xi was stunned. After aftertaste the meaning of her words, the smile at the bottom of her eyes was even worse.

For lunch, the pheasants and rabbits brought back by Rongxi tasted just as good, but there was no better way to fill your stomach in the wild mountains.

It finally stopped raining today and the sun came out in the afternoon.

Quling and Rongxi moved a stool and sat in the yard in the sun. No one paid attention to anyone.

Royal guards took a big stone and sat between them. They were concentrating on pricking the acupoints in Rongxi's right arm to dredge the blood for his almost unconscious arm.

Qu Ling stared at Rong Xi's right arm for a while and asked curiously, "did the wind Wushi connect it for you?"

I've heard that Feng Wushi is very good at connecting and breaking hands and feet. Now look at Rongxi's white and bloody arm, which is almost invisible. It really deserves its reputation.

Rong Xi looked at Qu Ling coldly and said in a cold voice, "thanks to you and Xiao Jingyue."

Qu Ling frowned disapprovingly, "if you hadn't come to trouble us three or four times, would Xiao Jingyue break your arm? He didn't want your life."

The fact that he failed to assassinate in the Huaihe cave but broke his arm is Rongxi's most embarrassing memory in more than 20 years.

Rongxi's whole person was stimulated, and his anger soared. Looking at Qu Ling, he burst out a strong killing intention.

Qu Ling didn't flinch, calmly looked at him, covered her hand under her sleeve and quietly held the dagger.

The royal guards noticed the impending atmosphere between the two people, moved their body quietly and blocked Qu Ling's face.

Rongxi looked down at her, paused, suddenly restrained his killing intention, and turned to look elsewhere.

Qu Ling sees this and takes back her eyes. They return to their previous state of ignoring each other.

Two quarters of an hour later, the royal guards put away the silver needle and helped Rong Xi pull down his sleeve.

Rongxi looked at her with drooping eyes. She was about to open her mouth, and her face suddenly looked again.

The next moment, he stood up and looked out of the yard with his eyes slightly narrowed. He said in a deep voice, "someone is coming."
