Chapter 53 Leaving Dongdu
Hearing this, Yan Xu'an was silent, as if he was thinking carefully, and then said after a moment: "I saw my biological mother being rewarded with three armies by the late emperor, so I had a grudge against the late emperor, and later she became mad."

Listening to Yan Xu'an's explanation, Qin Shuangjiang was stunned. Although he said nothing, the shock and disbelief in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

Qin Shuangjiang frowned in confusion: "Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to treat you?"

Logically speaking, Zhao Jin should be favored or protected by someone, otherwise she would not be allowed to live to this day and still have her own princess mansion.

But this time, when faced with Qin Shuangjiang's question, Yan Xu'an didn't say anything. He only slowly tightened his hand on her waist, looked at her with a mysterious smile, and did not answer her words, but was in a rather troubled mood. Good kiss her cheek.

Qin Shuangjiang was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He was thoughtful and clung to his arms meekly.

When he left the study, it was already getting late, and the sunset reflected on the gravel road. Qin Shuangjiang walked in front, and Bai Kou followed behind.

There was a commotion coming in front of him, and Qin Shuangjiang stopped subconsciously. When he raised his eyes, he saw several servants and maids hurriedly supporting Zhao Jin, who was looking dull, towards the outside of the house.

Passing by the two of them, Qin Shuangjiang's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to them, and there was an inexplicable scent of medicine lingering on the tip of his nose. It seemed that Yan Xu'an should know her condition very well, otherwise he wouldn't have dealt with it so calmly.

However, thinking of Qin Shuangjiang's mysterious smile when he asked him why he didn't ask an imperial doctor to treat him, Qin Shuangjiang felt an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

Perhaps, Zhao Jin's condition was not that serious until Yan Xu'an discovered that this person could be used...

"lady?"

Seeing Qin Shuangjiang staring in the direction Zhao Jin was leaving, Bai Kou couldn't help but call her. She came to her senses. Bai Kou seemed to have misunderstood Qin Shuangjiang's intention. Bai Kou smiled and said, "Madam, relax. It can be seen that the adults in our family don’t like my wife alone.”

As she said that, she looked around, paused slightly to make sure there was no one else, then lowered her voice and continued: "I will never like that crazy woman."

When Qin Shuangjiang heard this, he also knew that she must have misunderstood, but he did not explain it. He just smiled shyly and simply went along with her wishes.

After returning to the courtyard, Qin Shuangjiang was sitting by the window embroidering pictures of mountains and rivers as usual. When dinner was being served, Zhuling suddenly came over. Qin Shuangjiang greeted her warmly, but Zhuling declined as usual and just told her: "Madam, please rest early tonight. Your Excellency has something to do, so you won't come to accompany Madam."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang nodded thoughtfully, and Zhuling didn't say anything more. He only looked at her with a meaningful look, then turned around and left.

After dinner, Qin Shuangjiang washed up and sat in front of the bronze mirror, thinking about Zhuling's words and the content of the note.

Logically speaking, Qin Shuangjiang will be in the study all day today. Even if Yan Xu'an doesn't come over tonight, there is no need to ask someone to tell her. This has never been the case before.

Unless Qin Shuangjiang asked on his own initiative, or if he originally agreed to come but didn't, he would send someone to tell her.

She never believed in coincidences. Everything Yan Xu'an did must have the purpose she wanted to achieve.

Thinking of this, she looked through the mirror at Bai Kou who was helping her make the bed. After a moment of silence, she got up and walked to the bed. Bai Kou just finished his work.

"I'm a little tired." Qin Shuangjiang said, "I want to rest early. You don't have to wait for me anymore. Come on down."

Bai Kou nodded, turned around and left the room.

Qin Shuangjiang locked the door, turned off the lights, put on night clothes, and left through the window, the night was already very dark.

She left the Prime Minister's Mansion and rushed towards the dilapidated alley.

The place was as deserted as ever, with a musty smell everywhere. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.Standing at the end of the street, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Suddenly, Qin Shuangjiang felt her back tighten, and something sharp pressed against her lower back.

Her expression was normal, and she knew what was going on without having to guess.

But the next moment, Qin Tianyou slowly came out from a dark alley not far away. When their eyes met, Qin Shuangjiang's eyes were a little surprised.

Since this is Qin Tianyou, the person behind him...

While thinking, she turned her head slightly, but the man seemed to feel it, and the broken sword at her waist got a little closer, as if to warn her not to move.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't resist, but just obeyed. Not long after, several figures flashed across the roof quickly. Looking up, he saw Bai Jian and the few remaining people in black standing aside.

He glanced at Qin Shuangjiang, who was standing aside, and then looked back at Qin Tianyou: "Father, Yan Xu'an's search team is almost here. Tonight is the deadline, and the people outside the city are ready. "

Qin Tianyou nodded, took out a pill from his arms and handed it to Qin Shuangjiang, saying coldly: "Take it."

"..." Qin Shuangjian glanced at him without saying a word or taking any action. Qin Tianyou obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with her. If she didn't comply, he would force it into her mouth. The strange thing was that she didn't resist.

After giving her medicine, Qin Tianyou motioned to Bai Jian to keep an eye on her, and they led Qin Shuangjiang all the way out of the city through the secret passage.

In the middle of the process, Qin Shuangjiang turned to look at the person behind her who had just controlled her with a dagger. The person had wrapped herself so tightly that it was impossible to see his appearance, or even tell whether he was a man or a woman.

But even so, Qin Shuangjiang always felt that the whole person gave her a very familiar feeling, and her intuition told her that this person was another killer planted by Qin Tianyou in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since she has been withdrawn, this means that Qin Tianyou has completely given up on Dongdu. He wants to leave and make new plans.

They followed them out of the imperial city through a secret passage, and the person who met them in the woods was the man named Xuan Qing.

Judging from their costumes, they don't look like killers, so they must be people who are allied with Qin Tianyou. At this time, they haven't given up on Qin Tianyou yet, which can be regarded as a life-long friendship.

However, from Qin Shuangjiang's perspective, it seemed that she had never seen the whole person.

In the dark night, standing in the forest, Qin Tianyou and Xuan Qing went to the side to discuss the next matter. Qin Shuangjiang was placed aside, guarded by Bai Jian, while the others were on guard around him.

The person who kidnapped her seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from her. He did not speak or approach her, as if he was afraid of being recognized by Qin Shuangjiang.

"Drink some water." Bai Jian handed over the kettle.

Qin Shuangjiang looked back at him, but did not take over. He just asked him: "Where are we going?"

Bai Jian looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Leave Dongdu and go to Jiangcheng."

"Jiangcheng?" Qin Shuangjiang was confused.

Bai Jian nodded, without further explanation, handed her the water in his hand again, and said: "The poison in your body called Qihua only temporarily makes you lose the ability to resist. Don't worry, we will wait until we are safe." Father will give you the antidote.”
