Chapter 165 - Ambush
"How many days will it take?" Qin Luofei was a shrewd person, she knew the danger she was about to face the moment the seal was removed from the Emperor Ming. If anything were to happen in the palace, I would need the help of the Consort Shu. However, if something were to happen outside the palace, even if they wanted to investigate, they would be unable to do so.
"At least seven days." Lin He replied.
Qin Luofei nodded helplessly, and said, "Alright then, as long as you can save peace, it's fine for many days. I just wonder if Lintaif can let me stay here for a few more days? "
Lin He showed hesitation on his face, and said: "Where is the girl's home? Why should we stay in the cold house? "
"My home is very far from here, it's not easy to come out, I hope Lintaif will take you in." Qin Luofei said sincerely.
Lin He turned his head to look at the man, who nodded in response, and Lin He agreed.
The man brought Qin Luofei and Sunflower to the room to settle down, then brought over Princess Tranquil's medicine.
"Thank you, young master. May I ask what your name is?"
From the first time she saw this man, Qin Luofei felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. This feeling was unprecedented. His eyes, in particular, always reminded her of someone. However, this was impossible. Their appearances were completely different, even though they were both equally handsome.
"Just call me Leng Mu."
"Thank you, Leng Mu. "You've been greeting us nonstop ever since we came in." Qin Luofei politely said.
"You're welcome. It's just me and Master here. If you need anything, just tell me." Leng Mu's dark and deep eyes seemed to be filled with wildness.
Qin Luofei nodded with a smile as she watched him leave.
After Leng Mu left, Qin Luofei immediately went to the bedside to look at the Princess Tranquil. Her complexion had improved quite a bit, and her face seemed to be flushed. However, the child had yet to wake up. From the information that she had gathered from the Lintaif, he would need two or three days to wake up.
"Miss, Princess Tranquil will be fine, rest well too. In these few days, if you don't eat or drink, how can your body take it?" Daffodil Daydream asked out of concern.
"You can call it peace outside, be careful of the walls." Qin Luofei became extremely vigilant as she looked outside.
Xi Ju nodded, Qin Luofei changed her clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep with Princess Tranquil.
Outside of the room, a figure was walking back and forth. Qin Luofei, who was too tired, didn't notice it at all.
"Now I want to see how a person like you can escape from my trap." The Jin Se Palace began to laugh coldly.
"What made Imperial Consort Leng laugh so happily? Even if I say it out loud, chenqie still feels a bit of happiness. " Concubine Qin brought her personal palace maid and opened the curtain as she walked in.
"Concubine Qin, the Emperor has been pampering you recently, how can you be in the mood to visit Jin Se Palace today?" The Imperial Consort Leng couldn't help but speak sourly when she knew that the emperor had been staying at her place the whole time.
The Concubine Qin knew this but it was not easy to point it out. "Sister Leng, have you heard of the matter regarding the Concubine Qin? I heard that the little princess is sick? Concubine Qin brought the Little Princess outside the palace? "
Today, she came to tell Imperial Consort Leng about Qin Luofei leaving the palace. According to Imperial Consort Leng's temperament, she would definitely teach that person a lesson so that she could reap the benefits while sitting down and waiting for the benefits.
However, Imperial Consort Leng knew all of this long ago.
"Little sister, thank you. I already know that I hope that Concubine Qin and her Princess Tranquil can return safely." Imperial Consort Leng gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"I hope so. The Emperor Ming seems to have some sympathy for the Concubine Qin. Luckily, we only gave birth to a princess. If it was the crown prince, I don't think we'd be able to preserve our position." Concubine Qin was full of jealousy.
"Crown Prince? Is it even the turn of the crown prince for her to be born in Concubine Qin? " Imperial Consort Leng's eyes were dark, filled with killing intent. Just endure for two more days, and after two more days you can get rid of this thorn in the side.
As expected, a black-clothed figure came to Qin Luofei's room. Just as he was about to break in through the window, he was stabbed by a sharp blade.
"Who is it?" Another man in black also started to fight with the other men in black.
Qin Luofei came to her senses. What was going on outside? Why did he hear the sounds of fighting? She quickly got up and walked outside. Lightning flashed, revealing that a few black clothed people were surrounding and attacking a black clothed person.
Could it be the people from the palace? Fortunately, Qin Luofei had already predicted that there would be danger. It was just that she didn't know if the black-clothed person being attacked was an enemy or a friend.
Soon enough, they disappeared from her sight, and she hurried back to her room to check on the Princess Tranquil. Everything was safe and sound.
It seemed like this would be another sleepless night. Qin Luofei lit the lamp, not daring to fall asleep.
"Miss Qin, are you still awake?" A man's voice came from outside the door. Qin Luofei frowned, a little perturbed. Now
Outside the palace, it was possible for him to encounter anyone, so he had to be on guard.
She took out a dagger from her backpack and slowly walked to the door and opened it.
"Leng Mu, why is it you?" Qin Luofei was very surprised.
"Seeing that your room is still lit, I came to take a look." Leng Mu's face was terrifyingly pale.
"Are you all right? You don't look right. "
"I'm fine. I heard a noise coming from here, so I just came to take a look." "Since there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
She did not tell him what she had seen just now. If her arrival here put the Lintaif in danger, and let them know, would he chase her out? Princess Tranquil hadn't fully recovered, so she could only be selfish for once.
However, from the looks of it, the man in black was here for her. Could it be that woman's doing again? Qin Luofei could not think of a second person besides that woman.
As long as Princess Tranquil recovers and returns to the imperial palace, she must investigate this matter thoroughly. Qin Luofei's eyes were filled with killing intent. She was no longer the kind person from before. Her entire life, she had wanted to take revenge on all those who had caused her death. They were also allowed to try the taste of living a life worse than death.
Qin Luofei wanted to close the door, but found that there was blood on the floor in front of the room. This should be left by the men in black who were fighting earlier. It seems like they are really coming for me.
She quickly closed the door and returned to her bed to watch the Princess Tranquil. Now that she had arrived, she had a new hope and hope. No matter what, he had to ensure her safety for the rest of her life.
Looking at Princess Tranquil's appearance, she seemed somewhat like a Emperor Ming, and the hatred in her heart inexplicably made her somewhat fidgety. The mandarin duck that was suffering together turned into an enemy that hated each other for life.
That night, Qin Luofeng was unable to sleep at all, and the fresh blood outside the door was constantly floating in her mind. Right now, he was outside the palace with the Princess Tranquil, so he was at his wit's end. If there was no one around to protect him, he would be in grave danger.
The next morning, Qin Luofei woke up and walked into the courtyard. She saw a figure there, waving the sharp sword in his hand. This wasn't the Leng Mu from last night, he actually knew martial arts?
Suddenly, a sharp sword pierced towards Qin Luofei.
"Who?" Leng Mu's cold eyes were filled with killing intent.
"It's me, Madam Qin." Qin Luofei took a step back, but didn't expect her body to lose its center of gravity. Leng Mu hurried forward and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Are you alright?" When Leng Mu and Qin Luofei looked at each other, her face was completely red. Qin Luofei felt that this gaze was too familiar.
"Good morning, Madam Qin." Leng Mu placed his sword behind him and walked over to greet him with a courteous bow. There was warmth in his dark eyes, and he looked very friendly.
"Good morning, Leng Mu, how's your martial arts?" After Qin Luofei saw him practicing martial arts, she had a thought in her mind, and that was to make him her bodyguard. She had no choice but to be on guard when travelling. She had not yet avenged her great hatred, so she could not afford even the slightest mistake on her part with An Ran.
The main reason was that after Zi Yuan left, there were no longer any people around her who knew martial arts. Ling Jian had also escorted Emperor Yun.
"Nope." Leng Mu replied humbly.
"But just now, your martial arts were not bad. I never thought that not only is Lintaif's medical skills outstanding, even the people around him are talented." Qin Luofei sized Leng Mu up from head to toe.
"Please, madam, please praise me. I'm just an ordinary cat, so I'm not worthy of praise." Leng Mu was extremely modest.
"To be honest, last night I heard that there's something strange outside of the room, and there's even some blood outside the door, which made me feel uneasy. I thought of asking Sir Leng Mu to protect me and my daughter with my money, would you be willing?"
"Madam Qin, you don't mind that my martial arts are low, it is my great honor to respect you. However, please forgive me for hiring you." Since you are staying here in Lintaif, Leng Mu will naturally ensure the safety of both of you. Leng Mu said sincerely as a trace of a smile leaked out of the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, they met many kind-hearted people this time. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to escape death last night. But who was that man in black from last night? He had actually acted to save her. Furthermore, very few people knew that she had left the palace, and there was no one that she knew outside. Could it be the Ling Wang?
"Thank you Master Leng, but won't I be troubling young master like this?"
"It's no trouble." Leng Mu said indifferently.
Qin Luofei nodded gratefully, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Leng tonight, and I also need to change rooms. I don't know …"
The black-clothed man from last night had already discovered where Qin Luofei lived, so they definitely could not stay there tonight.
"No problem." Leng Mu very happily agreed, and immediately went to clean up the room for Qin Luofei.
Leng Mu treated her so much, and even made requests of her without any suspicion or rejection, which made her feel surprised. However, since things had come to this point, he could only believe that he was a kind-hearted person.
Qin Luofei carried An Jing to another room and fed the child medicine as per Lintaif's instructions. However, Princess Tranquil didn't wake up for a long time, so Qin Luofei was a little worried. Today was already the fifth day.
Although the peaceful face of the baby was a little better, he still had not woken up.
"Rest in peace, you must wake up as soon as possible."
As she said that, she took out a sparkling phoenix jade pendant from her waist and brought it to Princess Tranquil's waist. This jade pendant was one that she had always been wearing in her previous life. When she transmigrated to Miss Qin, she found that the jade pendant had always been there. In order to prevent others from suspecting her identity, she had hidden the jade pendant the entire time. The phoenix jade pendant can protect you.
