Chapter 28

Yan Yunxiang hurriedly waved her hands and said, "It's not hard, I'm sorry. Brother and Sister Shuangjiang are both very good to me."

Qin Zhiyun looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes. Then he turned his eyes slightly and looked at Qin Shuangjiang. Then he seemed to remember something and asked hurriedly: "Is it okay for me to invite the girl to the side hall for tea so abruptly?" Make the girl feel offended?"

She asked sincerely, her beautiful almond eyes flashing with apology. Before Qin Shuangjiang could speak, she paused slightly and continued: "The dissatisfied girl said that even though we didn't talk to each other the last time we met, she always made me feel good." It feels like déjà vu, but I really didn’t mean what happened to the almond cake last time, so please don’t blame me, girl.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly called the palace attendants on the side to come forward, put the small box in her hand on the table, and said: "I don't know what the girl likes, so I took it upon myself to bring some good new tea to give to the girl. I apologized."

Qin Shuangjiang looked at the box that was pushed in front of him, his eyelids slightly lowered, his eyes swept over it calmly, and he responded: "The princess is serious, it's all in the past, and I don't care that much."

Hearing what Qin Shuangjiang said, Qin Zhiyun's face relaxed, as if he had unloaded a heavy thing. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "I wonder if the girl has anything interesting to do in her daily life?" ?Growing flowers, listening to music, reciting poems and painting?"

Seeing her enthusiastic look, Qin Shuangjiang just shook his head, with a sweet and subtle smile on his face, but he never let go of his guard.

Qin Zhiyun's face was obviously a little disappointed, and she lowered her eyes thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, she opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but before she could say anything, the palace attendant trotted away. He stepped forward, leaned over and said something in her ear.

Qin Zhiyun's face changed slightly, and he looked at the palace man with a somewhat sad look. Apparently, the palace man had no choice but to lower his head and remain silent.

Helpless, Qin Zhiyun had no choice but to wave away the palace man, looked at Qin Shuangjiang with a troubled face, and said: "I'm really sorry, Miss Qin, I have to go out for a while, my sister is really naughty, and she got into fights with others after not seeing her for a while. ”

Qin Shuangjiang nodded to express his understanding: "It doesn't matter. The princess just goes about her business. Yunxiang and I can just sit down by ourselves."

Qin Zhiyun nodded, and a group of palace attendants helped her stand up. After taking a few steps, she stopped again, as if she was afraid that Qin Shuangjiang and Yan Yunxiang would be bored if they were left alone.

She turned back and continued: "If the girl really feels that she is not in a good mood, she can also go for a walk outside. It will get dark soon. It will probably be much more beautiful now than when she came here. The banquet is meant to be entered and exited at any time." It’s okay, girl, don’t worry, you can come back anytime when you are tired.”

Qin Shuangjiang nodded in response to her, watched her walk out of the side hall, and then withdrew his eyes and the faint smile on his face.

At this time, she raised her hand, touched the ceramic tea cup lightly with her fingertips, and circled the rim of the cup with her fingertips, then slowly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Yan Yunxiang, who was beside her, looked at her intently. After a while, she chuckled softly: "Sister, you are really vigilant. Do you need to be tested even if you drink tea?"

Qin Shuangjiang ignored her and just put down the cup in her hand. Just now, she circled the mouth of the cup with her fingertips. She was indeed testing the poison with the silver needle hidden in her palm.

The two sat in the side hall for a while. Qin Shuangjiang stood up slowly, turned around and walked out. Yan Yunxiang was a little confused, but only hesitated for a moment, then she got up and followed.

She caught up with Qin Shuangjiang who had already walked out of the door, tilted her head and asked her: "Where are you going, sister? Going to the lantern festival?"

Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything, and just followed the route Qin Zhiyun told her to find the back door of Yingshui Hall. When she walked out of the back door, she stopped and said, "You came to Yingshui Hall with me just to accompany me to the lantern festival, right?"

As they spoke, the two of them looked at each other, and the smiles in their eyes disappeared at the same time. Yan Yunxiang understood what she meant instantly, but before she could speak, Qin Shuangjiang gently approached her and whispered: "You have half an hour to do it." What you want to do, we will meet here in half an hour, do you understand?"

At this point, both of them understood that it was not that simple for the other party to come to this banquet. Instead of trying in roundabout ways, it was better to get straight to the point and give each other enough time.

Yan Yunxiang understood and naturally did not refuse. She just said softly: "Sister is so kind." Then she left without looking back.

Watching her figure turn back to Yingshui Hall, Qin Shuang's eyes were slightly cold and he whispered: "Come out."

There was a moment of silence, and the air around him seemed to freeze. However, at some point, a dark man in black stood in the corner.He bowed his hands in greeting: "Madam."

Qin Shuangjiang winked, and the man immediately understood and disappeared into the dark sky, followed into the Yingshui Hall, and followed Yan Yunxiang quietly.

The back door of Yingshui Hall is a not very lively and almost abandoned street. Except for the sparse shops that are still occupied by people, other shops have been moved to more lively streets.

Even so, the almost abandoned streets are simply decorated, with a few lanterns hanging from house to house.

The sky gradually darkened, and with the dim light of the lanterns and the weak moonlight shining down from the full moon that had already climbed up the branches, she walked slowly towards the lively urban area outside the street.

Finally, he got into the lively crowd. Among the people coming and going, almost all were young men and women who went out to visit the lantern festival. Qin Shuangjiang walked carefully through the crowd...

Inside the Yingshui Hall.

Qin Zhiyun had taken care of Qin Anhe's affairs and was returning to the side hall with his eyebrows raised. When he raised his eyes, he bumped into Qin Jiangchu who had arrived at an unknown time.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and the expression on Qin Zhiyun's face gradually became solemn. He remained silent, but turned his head to avoid the palace attendants who were following him, and chose a deserted place to talk to Qin Jiangchu.

"How is it?" Qin Jiangchu asked, with uncontrollable worry on his face.

Qin Zhiyun shook his head helplessly and said, "That girl is too cautious, as if she is wary of everyone, and it is difficult to get close to her."

Hearing this, Qin Jiangchu frowned and remained silent for a moment. He sighed softly and said, "Forget it, take your time. After all, she has a special status now, so she should be more vigilant."

Qin Zhiyun nodded and said no more...

When the sky completely darkened and various lanterns lit up the lively streets, Qin Shuangjiang walked through the crowded market, alone.

As if she noticed something, she paused. She originally planned to leave directly, but suddenly turned around and stopped in front of a small stall. The stall owner was busy bargaining with the girl who came to buy lanterns earlier, so Qin was temporarily left. Shuangjiang takes the pick.

Qin Shuangjiang smiled and nodded in agreement, lowered his head and picked up a lantern made of lotus flowers, which was exquisite, detailed and lifelike.

As she was watching, in the midst of the crowd, she suddenly felt something sharp touching her lower back. Years of experience as a killer told her that it was a knife.

Qin Shuangjiang's eyes darkened slightly, her whole body stiffened slightly, but there was no trace of fear in her eyes. The man stood behind her, just in time to block the knife in his hand that was pressed against her waist.

He lowered his head, deliberately lowered his voice in the noisy crowd, and said: "Don't resist, just follow me."

Qin Shuangjiang gently put down the lantern in her hand and nodded immediately. The man grabbed her arm and never put down the knife on her lower back.

Until she followed the man away from the trouble and arrived at a remote place, next to a gurgling stream. On the water, there were lanterns filled with the thoughts of boys and girls floating, and they slowly drifted downstream along the river.

It was a dark night, and it was like a forgotten corner. There were no lanterns for lighting. It was so quiet that you could vaguely hear the noise of the downtown area. The other party did not put away the knife, but just gritted his teeth and asked: "Where is Yilan? "
