The house is very old and small, with only two rooms.

Qiu 16 carried Qu Ling into one of the rooms and put her on the couch.

Can make the men who are used to rough work know how to control. In addition, if men and women don't give and receive, they will soon give up, and Qu Ling's viscera will hurt.

Ash is also sitting at the table. He has ignored Qiu 16 and Qu Ling since he came in, as if they didn't exist.

Not long after, the middle-aged man and his wife came in together.

The middle-aged man seemed a little afraid of gray, and asked gingerly, "how many people can I help?"

Ash also raised his eyelids and looked at him. He took a ingot of silver from his sleeve and threw it. In a low voice, he said, "go and get some food."

The couple seemed to have never seen such a big silver before, and immediately smiled and spent their faces.

The woman took the silver from her husband and took it back into her arms. She pulled her husband out and said with a smile, "OK, OK, two chivalrous men, wait a moment. We'll prepare now."

The room is quiet. Qiu 16 arranges Qu Ling, goes to the opposite side of Huiyi and sits down.

Not long after, the couple came in with their meals.

After putting down the meal, the woman rubbed her hands and said with some embarrassment, "we don't have any big fish and meat in our family. Please don't dislike some chivalrous men."

From the woman's point of view, those with swords and black clothes are all wandering in the Jianghu. It's not too much to call them xias.

Ash also looked at the dishes on the table. He didn't say anything, but he didn't start.

After a while, seeing that the couple hadn't gone out yet, he gently twisted his eyebrows and raised his head in displeasure.

The man noticed Gray's sight and hurriedly pulled his wife who was still looking in.

The woman returned to her senses, shivered and took back her eyes, smiled at Hui Yi and Qiu 16, angrily opened her mouth in the direction of the bed, and asked tentatively, "won't the little girl get up for dinner?"

Ash didn't answer, but Qiu 16 said, "she's not feeling well."

"Well," the woman smiled, thought, and said, "there is no doctor around here, and we don't have medicine here. Why don't I bring you a baking pan?"

Qiu 16 didn't dare to make the decision. He looked at the ash sitting opposite with questioning eyes.

Ash also coldly looked at Qu Ling curled up on the couch, and snorted in his nose. It was a promise.

The couple moved quickly and soon brought in the brazier.

After putting down the brazier, the husband and wife went out with their heads down.

Ash also looked out of the door, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, pulled out the cork, and poured out a few small insects from inside.

Qiu didn't do anything. He sat still and picked out some of each meal on the table with chopsticks.

The insects climbed to the small pile of food on the table and swallowed the food at a very fast speed.

After waiting for a while, they saw that the insects were nothing different. Ash also picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

The rain outside didn't seem to stop, but it was getting worse and worse.

Qu Ling turned her back to the two people in the room. Her brain turned quickly and thought about the way to get out.

She doesn't believe that these two people will safely send her back to miaojiang, and she doesn't want to go back to miaojiang now.

Since Wen Xiao kept her away from the capital, it must be because of some private action, for fear that she would harm his good deeds.

At this moment, Wen Xiao may estimate that her friendship with her mother's martial brothers and sisters will let her go. Who knows if she will suddenly change her mind in the next moment.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind me.

Qu Ling subconsciously looked back and saw that ash also patted the table, and her face was hard to see the extreme.

Qiu 16 sitting opposite him couldn't see his face. His whole face was very white. He seemed to be trying hard to bear something.

Ash also suddenly kicked off the stool and staggered towards Qu Ling.

Qu Ling was frightened by him and shrunk to the wall. She looked at him warily, and her hand under her sleeve held the dagger tightly.

"I will die here today, and I will bury you with you!"

Gray Yi's eyes were full of crazy color. He suddenly took out the long sword, held the handle of the sword, raised his hands high, and stabbed Qu Ling hard.

Qu Ling looks at the approaching blade and subconsciously wants to escape.

As soon as she moved, her whole body hurt badly. The severe pain immediately removed all her accumulated strength.

Seeing that the blade of the sword was about to disappear into Qu Ling's body, ash also trembled violently. The sword in his hand stopped half a finger away from Qu Ling's body.

Gray also had tiny pupils, lowered his head in disbelief, looked at the dagger passing through his back and opened his mouth.

He seemed to want to say something, but when his mouth opened, he took the lead in spitting out a mouthful of dirty blood.

The long sword in his hand fell beside Qu Ling. He looked back slowly with his neck stiff. A face upside down was reflected in his pupils.

……

Soon after the emperor returned to the palace, he found a reason to keep Xiao Jingyue in the general's house. He was not allowed to step out of the general's house. He also sent a royal guard to guard it.

Most of the courtiers believed that the emperor was afraid of Xiao Jingyue returning to Zhennan palace and took the opportunity to attack the state of Qi with Japan.

Only the crown prince and the eighth Prince knew that their father didn't want Xiao Jingyue to step out of the vortex and still wanted to pass the throne to Xiao Jingyue.

Others don't know. The masters of the palace are very clear. They all know that the emperor's body is dead. Now he hasn't fallen down, but he didn't achieve his goal and insisted.

Li Guifei was worried and angry about her brother's dismissal, but she was trembled by the emperor's sudden anger.

The prince was not slow or tight and advised, "this is the end of the matter. Don't be angry and hurt your body."

"Can I not be angry?" imperial concubine Li almost roared. "Your uncle has been forgotten. It's your turn next!"

The prince could not deny his mother's words, but he was not as nervous as her mother.

After this period of time, he also saw something.

The father emperor did intend to pass on the throne of prince to Xiao Jingyue, but Xiao Jingyue didn't seem willing to accept it, and even meant to fight against the father emperor.

It's no use getting angry. He might as well wait for the result.

Seeing that her son was so calm at this time, Li Guifei was angry and said, "are you going to sit like this?"

The prince was silent for a moment, put down his tea cup, lowered his eyes, and said softly in his voice, "the mother imperial concubine is right. What should I do?"

For example, help Xiao Jingyue and let him leave the capital.

At the other end, the eighth prince, who had been grounded in the eighth Prince's house for many days, heard about it and couldn't look good.

The eighth Prince looked gloomy and asked the counselor beside him, "is there anything going on over there, prince?"

The counselor replied, "not yet."

The eighth prince asked again, "in your opinion, what should I do?"

The counselor said, "wait and see what happens."

Between the two brothers, Xiao Jingyue obviously poses a greater threat to the prince, because the prince is the prince and the eighth Prince is only the prince.

In his opinion, the eighth Prince doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to wait patiently for the prince to deal with Xiao Jingyue and reap the benefits.

The eighth Prince sneered, "what if the prince and brother still don't move?"

The counselor calmly replied, "add fuel to the fire."

He didn't understand, so they tried to make him "move".

The eighth Prince's eyes flashed slightly. He was about to open his mouth when the door was suddenly pushed open.

A cold wind with rain poured in, and a black figure came in like a stroll.
