Is the emperor cremated today?

Fang Zhiyuan got the news of Xiao Qi's killing on the morning of the next day. The Xu Mansion looked calm on the surface, but secretly sent more people, especially his yard.

Fang Zhiyuan was sitting in the yard drinking tea when he saw Qiao Zhi walking in with a serious expression. After bowing to him, he knelt down on the ground obediently, as if he was at his disposal.

Fang Zhiyuan smiled, with a fatherly look on his face, and said, "Qiao Zhi, it's only been three months, how come you lost so much weight?"

Qiao Zhi still knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Guo, for your concern. I don't know what to do next?"

Fang Zhiyuan said with a wounded expression: "You and Your Majesty are now called my father-in-law, but you used to call me foster father."

Qiao Zhi raised his eyes slightly, but didn't say much.

Seeing that his expression was not as distant as before, Fang Zhiyuan helped him up, "Sit down, I have something to say to you."

Qiao Zhi stood aside, did not sit down obediently, but said: "If you need anything, just ask the Duke."

Fang Zhiyuan saw that he didn't want to stay any longer, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a smile: "It's nothing, but I want you to come back and help me, are you willing?"

Qiao Zhi cupped his hands and said, "The Duke of the State made me and Qin Zhan and Ji Weiliang stay by His Majesty's side, and made us swear that we would be loyal to His Majesty for the rest of our lives. Our only master, this vow will never be forgotten."

Fang Zhiyuan stood up and patted Qiao Zhi's shoulder as if admiring him, but the next moment he said: "That woman Li Yang has a good color, it's no wonder that idiot fell into your trap, if you like her , I can spare her life."

Qiao Zhi was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at Fang Zhiyuan, his eyes were full of surprise and wariness.

Fang Zhiyuan seemed to have expected such a reaction from him, and said with a smile, "Qiao Zhi, what do you think?"

Qiao Zhi was very conflicted in his heart. It seemed that he could only choose one between His Majesty and the woman he loved, and there seemed to be no way to have both.

Qiao Zhi gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, and said, "I will obey my adoptive father."

Fang Zhiyuan patted Qiao Zhi's shoulder again, and said, "Good boy, if you have any news from His Majesty in the future, you should report it in time, you understand?"

Qiao Zhi replied, "This subordinate understands."

Fang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Get up, I need you to do something for me."

Qi Jiaojiao was staying in the room looking at the book Qin Zhan gave her to relieve boredom, when she heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, it was "Yun Xiang" who came in with a bag in his hand, Qin Zhan followed " Yun Xiang "behind.

"Yunxiang" looked worried, looked at Qin Zhan behind her, and said to Qi Jiaojiao: "I said earlier, I told you not to have any wrong thoughts, see, you are locked up by the Lord now." .”

Qi Jiaojiao was disgusted, this person really knows how to act, "Okay, besides, I'm going to throw up, have you brought everything I want?"

"Yun Xiang" was also vomited in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "I brought them all, do you want to change them now?"

Qi Jiaojiao glanced at Qin Zhan and said, "Of course, Qin Zhan, you go out, I have to change clothes."

Qin Zhan glanced at Yunxiang, then at Qi Jiaojiao warningly, then turned and left the room, closing the door intimately.

Qi Jiaojiao approached Yunxiang, and looked through the clothes in the bag. There were two sets of clothes and two sets of fur coats. Yes, this was enough.

"Yun Xiang" approached Qi Jiaojiao, and asked in a low voice: "How is your progress? I heard that Xu Miaoyin assassinated His Majesty, what did you say to Xu Miaoyin?"

Qi Jiaojiao hummed twice perfunctorily, and asked, "I've already done what you asked me to do, how can I escape then? You have to help me."

"Yun Xiang" rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said, "Didn't I give you a fake death pill? After taking that, I'll just transport you out."

Qi Jiaojiao quit, and looked at him suspiciously, "I won't eat anything that comes in my mouth. If you want to kill people and silence them, I will die wronged."

"Yun Xiang" didn't expect her to wake up so startled, so she asked, "Then what do you want?"

Qi Jiaojiao chuckled, leaned close to "Yun Xiang"'s ear and said, "Tell me, how did you sneak in, and I'll go out along that road."

Seeing that Qi Jiaojiao was not giving up, "Yunxiang" was urged by the master again. After thinking about it, she agreed, and said, "The lake in Xujiayuan's house is running water, which leads to the river around the city of Yangzhou. It's just under the water pavilion."

Qi Jiaojiao asked again: "How long is the underwater tunnel?"

"Yun Xiang" didn't expect her to be quite cautious, so she replied, "It takes time for a cup of tea."

Qi Jiaojiao thought about it. In ancient times, the time for a cup of tea was about 10 minutes. Her previous diving record was 10 minutes. As long as she is well prepared, she should be fine.

Qi Jiaojiao took out a set of clothes and said, "Just wait for my news, you can go now, I want to change clothes."

Seeing that she had already started to take off her clothes, "Yun Xiang" wanted to say something, but forgot for a moment, turned around and said something shameless, and quickly walked out of the room.

Qi Jiaojiao smiled triumphantly, Xiao Mian, I can't cure you yet!
When Qi Jiaojiao finished changing her clothes, Qin Zhan also opened the door and walked in. Seeing that her clothes were still uncovered, he turned around abruptly, "Why haven't you changed after so long?"

Qi Jiaojiao saw that the tips of Qin Zhan's ears were turning red, so she looked down at her clothes, only a little fur was exposed, but not a bit of skin, why was this man so shy, really, quite innocent.

Qi Jiaojiao quickly fastened her belt and said, "Okay, what do you want from me?"

Qin Zhan turned around and saw that she was indeed fully dressed, so he said: "Master is recuperating now, don't cause trouble, you know? Tell me what you want, and I will help you. During this time, the mansion has sent extra manpower, Especially Lanyin Academy, don’t even think about escaping, you know?”

Qi Jiaojiao understands that Qin Zhan cares about herself, but she has her own thoughts and world, so she doesn't want to be trapped here.

She also thought carefully about what would happen between them, but after much deliberation, she decided to leave. Maybe he also treated her differently, but it was only on the basis that she hadn't done anything that would threaten Xiao Qi. But what she wanted to do happened to threaten Xiao Qi, so it was clear at a glance who he would choose, so she didn't need to waste time here, rescued Xu Miaoyin, and took her away.

Thinking that she might never see Qin Zhan again, Qi Jiaojiao also felt a little bit reluctant. Just as she was about to say something, Yuqiu walked in, glanced at Qin Zhan, and turned to Qi Jiao who was hesitating to speak. Jiao said: "Madam wants to see you, come with me!"

In the main room of Lanyin Academy, Xu Miaoyin was standing by the bed, changing another cotton towel on Xiao Qi's forehead, seeing that his face was pale but there was a touch of red on his face, he had been burned all night, and she also took care of him He didn't sleep a wink all night.

At this time, Xu Miaoyin's heart was complicated. Xiao Qi's madness yesterday frightened her badly, and what Lu Shifang said made her want to leave here shaken.

"Ma'am, it's no good for you and him to torture each other like this. One day you will understand that the so-called truth is not the truth." After Lu Shifang finished speaking, he looked at her with some regret.

Xu Miaoyin was a little puzzled, she didn't know why Doctor Lu would tell her this, she couldn't help guessing in her heart, did Doctor Lu know something?Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things to her.

"Doctor Lu, what do you mean? What is the truth?"

But Lu Shifang just shook his head and said: "I don't know anything. You will know the truth that you want to know one day. There is always a cause and effect in the world, and there are always some mistakes. You have to look at it with your heart. Then I won’t make it difficult for myself and him.”

There was something in Lu Shifang's words, so Xu Miaoyin couldn't figure out what he was going to tell her for a while, so when she wanted to ask again, Lu Shifang had already left the room with the medicine box.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Xiao Qi on the bed, and saw that his usually handsome face was pale at this moment, and he was frowning slightly, but he felt a little weaker than usual.

She sat on the side of the bed and looked at Xiao Qi carefully. Under the sword-shaped eyebrows that slanted into her temples, there was a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes that were tightly closed at this time, with long and dense eyelashes, a straight nose, and plump lips. It was moist, but now it looked a little pale due to blood loss.

He is undoubtedly good-looking, so that sometimes she will be so jealous that she doesn't want anyone to look at him like her, own him, and sometimes even feel that her husband is dumbfounded and needs her protection.

Xu Miaoyin smiled self-deprecatingly, why did he need her protection, why did he need her protection when he was so deep-minded, everything was just what he did on purpose.

When she started to resent him and didn't want to love him anymore, he imprisoned himself, and even didn't give up his own life just because of her words. This kind of him made her slightly shaken.

But the life and death of her father and sister were unknown, and she couldn't find out their current situation, which made her extremely entangled.

What should she do?
"Miaoyin, don't go..." Xiao Qi closed his eyes tightly and murmured inaudible words, Xu Miaoyin got close to him and heard what he was saying.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Xiao Qi complicatedly for a while, and now she didn't know if he was sincere or fake, let's wait until he was out of danger.

Unexpectedly, at night, Xiao Qi started to have a high fever, and Xu Miaoyin didn't have time to think too much. She focused on Xiao Qi, who was seriously injured on the bed, and took care of him meticulously. The high fever didn't slow down until dawn this morning Slow down.

Xu Miaoyin sat on the edge of the bed and saw that although his face was still a little pale, but his lips slowly recovered some color, she was also relieved.

Only then did Xu Miaoyin remember the note that Qi Jiaojiao had given her in her sleeve pocket. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed and no one would come in, Xiao Qi was unconscious again, so she took out the note and read it.

The note read: Sister, the fake death pill can help you escape, as long as you leave the Xu Mansion within twelve hours, we will be free.

After reading the contents of the paper, Xu Miaoyin got up and burned the note on the still burning lamp.

Qi Jiaojiao wanted to help her get out of here, but after yesterday's accident, she hesitated. It would be best if her father and sister could be rescued as soon as possible. Fang Zhiyuan didn't want her to assassinate Xiao Qi, so she used yesterday's advance to deceive Let him help her release her father and sister first, as long as they leave so that Xiao Qi can never find her again, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Now that there is a shortcut, she no longer has to spend time going to Yujing to seek help from her grandfather.

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyin planned to find Qi Jiaojiao to make a good plan, and asked Yuqiu to come to Qi Jiaojiao. At this time, Xiao Qi was in a coma, everyone's attention was on Xiao Qi, and they probably didn't pay attention to what she did .

Not long after Yuqiu left, Lu Shi conveniently came over, felt Xiao Qi's pulse, changed his medicine, and said, "It's out of danger, as long as I can wake up today, it will be fine."

Xu Miaoyin was completely relieved when she heard it, and Yuqiu came to report that Qi Jiaojiao was already waiting for her in the side room, so Xu Miaoyin said goodbye to Lu Shifang and went to the side room.

As soon as Xu Miaoyin left, Xiao Qi opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and not hazy from just waking up.

Lu Shifang seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised. He knew Xiao Qi was awake when he felt Xiao Qi's pulse, but he didn't expose him.

Xiao Qi sat up slowly. Although the wound was involved, he still gritted his teeth and endured it. Lu Shifang, who was on the side, couldn't bear to see him so self-abuse, so he helped him sit up and leaned against the head of the bed.

Xiao Qi thanked him in a low voice, and then called Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan entered the room upon hearing the sound, saw Xiao Qi panting weakly, and said respectfully, "Master, why don't you rest more?"

Xiao Qi slowed down, and then said slowly: "Follow Madam, listen to what they have said, and tell Qiao Zhi to proceed as planned."

A few short words made Xiao Qi's face turn pale again, and he covered his heart with his hand, panting slightly.

Qin Zhan took the order and went.

Lu Shifang couldn't see it, he rolled his eyes secretly and said: "You are really good at calculating, the location of your stabbing is calculated, right, stabbing next to the heart vein, it looks very serious, but in fact it can't hurt your life. "

Xiao Qi was noncommittal, just glanced at Lu Shifang, and then said nothing, he really didn't have the strength to say another word now.

Seeing him like this, Lu Shifang felt uncomfortable for him, so he said, "If you want to keep her, you can't make it clear? You have to die like this, she is like this, and so are you!"

Xiao Qi smiled wryly, if the matter between them could be explained clearly, they wouldn't be in the current situation.

Now it is not something that he can explain clearly if he wants to. Although he regrets that he did not say it back then, he has no chance to make it clear now. With Xu Miaoyin's illness and Fang Zhiyuan's pressing every step of the way, he can only choose to temporarily These things were concealed, and when Fang Zhiyuan's influence in the court could be completely eradicated, and there were no obstacles between them, then they would be able to explain everything clearly.

Xiao Qi leaned against the head of the bed, closed his eyes and said, "I will tell her the truth when everything is over, and I don't know if she will forgive me then."

Lu Shifang watched the two of them come to this day in the past two years, and he also sighed endlessly, and said: "Have you ever thought about it, she is also a human being, she will have her own thoughts, not everyone will wait for the day you regret it, if that day really comes, it will be too late."

Xiao Qi was slightly moved. Over the past few years, he has gradually understood that Xu Miaoyin is different from other women. She has her own opinions and plans, so how can he judge her with the thoughts of ordinary women.

But the more he found that she was good, the more he couldn't let her go, he just wanted her to stay by his side, and he was the only one in his heart.

How could he let go!
