Xiao Qing took a closer look. It was a very ordinary scented sachet with a rare pattern embroidered on it. "This smell is really good."

It was a rich flower fragrance, but it was very light and not pungent at all. This way, one wouldn't be able to smell the fragrance when hiding inside the clothes. Only after taking it out would they be able to smell it clearly.

"Hmm, it is said that there is a very expensive flower inside. It is very hard to find." As Su Qian Jie spoke, he carefully placed it back into his bosom. "Imperial Mother said that Third Brother spent a great deal of effort to obtain this. After so many years, I haven't left my body, and its fragrance hasn't become faint yet."

"It is indeed a good item." Xiao Qing smiled.

"Of course." Su Qianjie was so happy that his lips cracked into a smile. From Xiao Qing Ran's position, it was not an exaggeration to say that she could see his back teeth.

The two of them talked as they walked out. When they reached the entrance of the palace, Su Qian Jie stopped and said, "I can only send you here. If Imperial Father finds out about the matter of you sneaking out of the palace a few days ago, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the palace for a while longer."

"I really want to be like second brother and the others, to be able to move out of the palace after sealing the prince." The way he said this was as if a rebellious child didn't want his parents to discipline him.

Xiao Qingyi laughed and comforted him before separating with him through the main entrance of the imperial palace.

Su Qian Jie watched her back as she left. The light in his eyes turned into bitterness and self-mockery. He clenched his fists and said, "Qing Qing, I'm sorry …"

As Xiao Qing Ran walked along the road, she thought about her conversation with Su Qian Jie. She could not classify this person as sinister and cunning, but she also did not think that he was truly as innocent as a child. If a child who had grown up deep in the palace did not have a brain, he would not be able to survive.

In the current situation, Su Qianjie was an uncertain factor.

Walking alone on the road, Xiao Qing was thinking about something. Seeing two boorish men walk towards her, she did not pay much attention to them. She turned her body to let them pass, but to her surprise, they stopped right in front of her.

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and saw that the two of them were standing side by side, purposely blocking the entrance of the alleyway.

There was some distance between the palace and the general's mansion. Xiao Qingyi did not call for a carriage when she came out, so she had to walk back. She did not expect to encounter such a thing after she had taken a detour around the road.

"Girl, we don't want to hurt you, but we brothers don't have any money on us, so we want to borrow some money to save you." Girl, we don't want to hurt you, but we don't have any money, so we want to borrow some money. One of the men said.

Xiao Qing sighed, thinking that when she came out today, she definitely didn't look at the calendar. "I don't have any money on me."

"No money?" Another man raised his high-pitched voice and said, "Who are you fooling? You don't look like a penniless person, what about it? Do you think it's easy to deceive us brothers, or do you really want money more than your life? "

"I really don't have any money on me." Xiao Qing suddenly frowned.

She didn't like shopping and would usually buy things from pears. At most, she would just go to the Flower Pavilion or Glazed Temple, and she wouldn't need money for those two places.

"If possible, is that alright?" Xiao Qingyan reached out her hand and tore off the pendant tied around her waist: "This is worth a few taels of silver if you use it to make it."

Perhaps, she wasn't very proficient in jade artifacts.

"Big brother, this is some good stuff." The sharp-witted man said, "That would be at least two taels of silver!"

He licked his lips as he was obsessed with money and quickly replied, "Hurry, take out all the valuable things that you have! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "

Xiao Qingyi knitted her eyebrows. Although she was too lazy to make a move because of such a small matter, she was also a bit impatient: "I really don't have any on me anymore. Even if you guys searched through my body, you wouldn't find anything."

"Oh?" "He's a cold character after all." The man rolled up his sleeves, his eyes gleaming. "Since you refuse to comply, don't blame me for doing so. Look at your standard appearance. It should be enough for us to eat in the brothels for a few months."

A dangerous glint flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes: "I advise you all not to act recklessly."

Her temper was definitely not good enough for her to be able to endure being bullied.

"You still dare to threaten me? Then I shall teach you a lesson! " He was about to make a move.

Xiao Qing Ran was about to kick him, but was stopped by his other companion: "What are you doing? "We do have money, but didn't we say that we would only rob money and not kill ourselves?"

"Big brother, I didn't say I wanted her life. I just sold her to a brothel …"

"That won't do! We do things with our conscience. "

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't know why, but she didn't find it funny that the bandit in front of her said something 'conscience'. On the contrary, she rather appreciated it.

The man with the sharp voice wasn't easy to describe, but although the man at the start seemed careless on the surface, his face revealed a trace of righteousness. She was somewhat convinced that they were forced to come out and do this.

"Big brother, didn't I also do this for …" The sharp man swallowed the difficult words in his mouth and shook his hand off. "Don't stop me. I have to finish this today!"

The sharp man charged towards Xiao Qingyi, who had no time to stop him at all.

With a 'bang,' the man kicked the man hard in the chest and he was sent flying towards the wall.

"Brother!"

Xiao Qingran blinked in surprise and turned around.

Su Qian gazed at him coldly. "Are you alright?"

"Why are you here?"

"These words should be asked by This King." Su Qian Han frowned, "Why not take the main road?"

Xiao Qing was startled, "You know that I just left the palace."

Su Qian Han pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

He did not tell her that he had heard from the wind that she had been summoned into the palace by the empress, but upon her arrival at the palace, he was informed by Su Qijie that she had already returned.

Xiao Qing Ran blinked her eyes, "I'm asking you? Why aren't you talking? Could it be … You came here specifically to pick me up? "

There was a touch of amusement in her last words.

Su Qianhan's eyes flashed, but she did not say anything. She raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her. With a dark and cold gaze, she asked, "How do you want to die?"

That man was smart, seeing that his brother was kicked down and could not get up, he knew that Su Qianhan was not someone to be trifled with. He looked down at his brother on the ground and bit his teeth, "Since we, brothers, have fallen at the hands of a hero today, it's our fortune.

"Fine, this king will grant you your wish." Su Qianhan sneered as he lifted his leg and was about to walk over.

Xiao Qing suddenly frowned and grabbed that person, "What are you doing?"

Su Qianhan's eyes were cold as he said, "Kill them."

Xiao Qing Ran looked at him in bewilderment: "They are only trying to steal something. This is too much. "

Had he always fought like this before?

Su Qianhan frowned and said, "If I had not come here earlier, you would have been at a disadvantage!"

He had helped this woman, and now she was pleading for someone who wanted to harm her?

"I won't." Xiao Qingyi shook her head. "Maybe that man will, but he won't …"

She pointed at one of them and confirmed, "So, even if you didn't come, nothing would have happened to me."

He wasn't a saint, so where could he erase all the grudges between them? However, there were some things that should be left alone.

That man did not expect that Xiao Qing Ran would actually plead on his behalf and immediately kneeled on the ground: "My lady, please spare my life, we brothers did not intentionally offend you." That man did not expect that Xiao Qing Ran would actually plead on his behalf and immediately knelt on the ground: "My lady, please spare my life.

He didn't mean it by saying that. He really intended to take the money from this girl and return it to her in the future. If he didn't have a choice, he would never do such a thing.

"Did you hear that?" Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows.

Su Qian Han looked at her strangely, "You believe me?"

He didn't realize that this woman had such a kind heart.

"Naturally."

He didn't believe his words, but believed that he wouldn't be wrong.

"Don't worry, I'm not the type of person to cause trouble. What happened just now can be written off, it's just that …" Xiao Qing Ran paused for a moment, "I can refuse to send you to the government but you have to promise me one thing."

When the man heard this, he hurriedly thanked her. "Please speak your mind. As long as it is within my means, I will go to the mountain of sabers …"

"You don't need to go up Saber Mountain. You can take that Jade Pendant and solve the problem first. Then, you can bring your brother to the Flower Pavilion. Just say it was Third Miss who found them a servant. You will be able to earn money then."

This could be considered as giving the two of them a chance to live.

When the man heard this, he immediately helped his brother up and thanked him profusely.

Xiao Qing Ran casually said a few more words before leaving the alley.

"Is that enough?" Xiao Qinggran said helplessly as she walked on the road with a twitch of her mouth.

After leaving the alley, this man looked at him with such a strange gaze. 'What do you mean by that?'

"This King is just curious."

"Curious?"

"This King has always felt that you are a person who would take revenge."

"You're right, I am." Xiao Qing Ran paused for a moment. "The two people earlier were not counted, but there are countless small stones on the road in life, there is no need to crush it just by running into a rock that blocks the way right? "In this way, other than building up many enemies for yourself, there are no other benefits. Sometimes, you should just let them go."

Su Qian Han never thought too much about things. In his eyes, a stumbling block was just a stumbling block, not even a small one. Since he had the right and power to crush them, there was no need to waste time finding a way out for them.

"You haven't answered me yet. Why are you here?" This place was ten thousand miles away from his manor, and the place was so remote.
