Chapter 110 - [Eunuch\\\'s vicious stepmother] [VIP]
The sound of fireworks exploded, and she changed from the sedan chair to the carriage, went out of the palace gate and went straight to the street outside the city gate.
It was unimpeded all the way, without the slightest obstacle.
The lively streets were crowded with people watching fireworks and going in a certain direction. Under the sound of fireworks, among the bustling crowd, Qiao Sha pieced together to hear what the lively people outside were saying.
I’m saying, go to the Gu Mansion to get the money. The old lady of the Gu family has her birthday today. Anyone who goes to celebrate her birthday can receive 100 copper coins.
Qiao Sha understands that today is the birthday of the old lady of the Gu family. Gu Ze must be in the Gu mansion. As long as Xie Lanchi replaces all the people in the palace with his people, she is fast enough to take her away from Beijing and wait for Gu Ze there. Found that she was gone, she and Xie Lanchi must have left Beijing.
As long as you get out of the gates of Kyoto, it will be difficult to catch them anymore.
No wonder Xie Lanchi would allow Li Rongzhao to take her out of Yongning Palace. Now I am afraid that the servants and guards in the palace have not discovered the new emperor who has passed out.
The fireworks were not over yet, the fast horse drove through the most prosperous street and was about to reach the city gate.
How can you make him so smooth?
Qiao Sha reached out and grabbed Xie Lanchi, and asked him, “Are we going out of the capital now?” When she said that, she had to pick up the curtain and look out.
Xie Lanchi took her hand tightly and coldly: “Do you regret it?”
Xie Lanchi stared at her closely. What he was most afraid of was not being discovered by Gu Ze, but that she regretted that she wanted to stay for Li Rongzhao and Li Rongxiu.
“Of course not.” She answered without hesitation, grasping Xie Lanchi’s hand tighter and said: “But what will Cui Cui do? If I escape, Cui Cui will definitely be killed by them, I can’t leave her alone. In the palace!”
Xie Lanchi looked at her and felt relieved, as long as she didn’t regret anything.
“You go save her.” She couldn’t let him refuse to say: “You ask your people to rescue Cui Cui also from the palace, go now.”
Xie Lanchi frowned a little, “Is Cuicui so important to you?”
He doubted her?
Can’t explain, the more explained, the less true it sounds.
Qiao Sha looked at him and didn’t answer. She heard the coachman outside whispered: “My lord, it’s at the gate of the city.”
Qiao Sha pressed his hand, and quickly raised the curtain of the car with the other hand, and shouted coldly to the coachman outside: “Let me get out of the car, I want to go back to the palace!”
This sentence is enough.
The coachman hurriedly closed the curtain.
Xie Lanchi covered her mouth, held her waist and pressed her into the carriage, but the palm of her hand was still subconsciously placed behind her head, for fear of her knocking.
Qiao Sha fell into the soft blanket and slammed into his palm, staring at him without blinking.
Those eyes were capricious and ruthless.
She was covered with her mouth and couldn’t speak, but Xie Lanchi just looked at her eyes and knew that she would never compromise. She just wanted to take Cui Cui with him, otherwise she would not leave.
Is Cuicui that important? Doesn’t she understand that there will be more dangers if you return to the palace and save it?
He now thinks of the past. He used to marry her into Xie’s Mansion. It seems that Cui Cui was the only one who had been with her. After the death of Qiao’s family, she fled Kyoto for the first time back to her hometown in Jinan with Cui Cui.
Even before she was reborn, he caught her in the dilapidated house where she was imprisoned. The only request she made was: let Cuicui go, she didn’t know anything.
In his heart, even Cui Cui was jealous, she could be so persistent to a little maid, to him…
The carriage had stopped at the gate of the city, and the coachman had issued the permit of the East Factory. Now that Gu Ze hadn’t noticed the strangeness in the palace, they could leave Beijing immediately.
Suddenly she opened her mouth to bite his finger, hate it so much that she bite and bleed.
He frowned in pain. He lowered his head helplessly and put his forehead against her, and said in a low voice: “I will send someone to the palace to save her. Let’s go out of Beijing first, okay?”
He compromised with her again.
She blinked under his face, and asked him in a dull voice, “You better not lie to me.”
“If I lie to you, you will kill me.” He murmured to her.
She was finally quiet again under the palm of her hand.
The carriage was released and drove smoothly out of the gate of Kyoto.
The sound of fireworks is getting farther and farther, and the outside of the carriage is getting quieter and quieter.
Xie Lanchi just let go of her and told the coachman outside the carriage: “Notify Jingkong to return to the palace and rescue Cui Cui.”
The coachman answered from outside.
Qiao Sha picked up the driving curtain, only to see the dark mountain road, and a dark shadow turned towards Kyoto from the carriage.
This person followed Xie Lanchi and stunned Li Rongzhao’s shadow guard.
Soon, the carriage stopped at a remote ferry where no one was left, and there was a boat waiting there.
Are you going to take the waterway?
Xie Lanchi wrapped a cloak for her, covered the Ji suit that was too late to change, and helped her get out of the carriage.
When she was about to board the ship, Qiao Sha stopped, “I’m going to wait for Cui Cui here.”
Xie Lanchi shook her hand and said in compromise: “Wait on the boat.”
“No.” Qiao Sha shook off his hand: “If I get on board, you order to sail, what can I do without waiting for Cui Cui?”
“I won’t lie to you.” Xie Lanchi said this to her for the first time, speaking to her seriously.
But she just said lightly: “Who knows, I was tricked by your father into marrying him all my life, and to such a point, can I still trust you?”
Xie Lanchi slowly squeezed the empty palm, he couldn’t get angry, she didn’t believe him, he could understand.
In her life, she really shouldn’t marry his father.
If she marries someone else, she can live a lifetime in peace.
The night wind blew her black hair and cloak, and the gorgeous makeup on her face was as beautiful as a red lotus in the night.
Xie Lanchi didn’t say anything, he reached out his hand to put the hat on for her, and once again compromised.
He accompanied her at the ferry, waiting for Cui Cui in front of the boat.
The shadow guards waiting on the shore and on the ship were all surprised and anxious. They didn’t understand how the factory supervisor would agree to wait here?
Once the imperial concubine’s disappearance is found in the palace, General Gu will definitely follow her whereabouts to find her.
It’s a good time to leave now, to commit a risk for a little servant…
Mr. Factory Supervisor actually has such a confused time.
Qiao Sha looked at the vast night, just thinking: Will Li Rongxiu or Gu Ze be the first to chase him?
She hoped it was Gu Ze, and hoped that Li Rongxiu would not run over to save her by himself because of love, and make good use of this opportunity to let Gu Ze and Xie Lanchi bite the dog, and he would kill him again.
—–
In the night, Li Rongxiu watched the fireworks burn out on the city wall. Long Shou quickly leaped onto the city wall and knelt down and said: “His Royal Highness, Xie Lanchi stunned Li Rongzhao, took Miss Qiao away, and his subordinates lost the people. Please forgive your Highness.”
He was not surprised. Today Xie Lanchi changed the person in the palace. He hadn’t been in the palace all day to look at Qiao Sha. He guessed that Xie Lanchi might not be able to bear it.
Sure enough, he did it.
“But someone is looking at Cui Cui?” Li Rongxiu asked.
“Yes, Ping An is here.” Chang Shou replied. He and Ping An had been instructed by His Highness long ago to guard Miss Qiao and the other to look at Cui Cui.
He had been on the sedan chair with Miss Qiao, but when he arrived at the gate of the palace, several sedan chairs appeared at the same time, and he lost the person.
Changshou did not dare to look up, thinking that His Highness would be angry, but His Highness just said calmly: “Send someone to Gu Mansion and report this to General Gu. I can’t lose it. If she doesn’t want to go with someone, no one can take it away. she.”
He looked at the quiet night sky, the air still smelled of fireworks, she didn’t want to go with Xie Lan Chi, right?
He didn’t guess her mind wrong, did he?
At this moment, his heart is like a bottomless well. Sometimes he can feel her passionate love, but sometimes he feels her heart is too cold.
She may not love him Li Rongxiu so much and is willing to stay for him, but at least she hates Xie Lanchi, right?
“His Royal Highness.” Changshou lowered his voice and asked, “Is it necessary to kill the new emperor now and put the blame on Xie Lanchi and Gu Ze?” This will not only get rid of the new emperor, but it can also justify killing Xie Lanchi. And Gu Ze.
Didn’t Your Highness want to kill this innocent brother long ago?
Li Rongxiu paused, slowly lowered his eyes to watch the long guard, and asked him, “If I kill him, will Qiao Sha blame me?”
Chang Shou froze in place. He didn’t expect His Highness to be worried about this. He didn’t know how to answer, so he just froze and said, “Maybe…Miss Joe would understand you doing this?”
Li Rongxiu smiled bitterly, “No, she won’t.”
She won’t understand the difficulties of anyone who makes her unhappy, she will punish him before that person explains.
“Forget it.” Li Rongxiu said with a sigh, “She seems to like Rong Zhao.”
Then don’t make her sad.
The throne, Jiangshan, he doesn’t want that much now.
——
In the palace.
Cui Cui stood at the entrance of the hall, waiting and waiting for Qiao Sha to come back, she wanted to go out to find, but was stopped by the father-in-law outside the hall, forbidden her to go.
She is a little annoyed. This palace is just a cage. You can only go where you are allowed to go.
She was fidgeting in the hall. At the entrance of the hall, a person dressed as a guard showed up a sign to the father-in-laws, which seemed to say “Dongchang”.
Those father-in-laws all retreated.
The guard walked in, lowered his head and said to her: “The noble concubine lady will stay in the sanctuary, and send me to pick you up and wait on her.”
Cui Cui didn’t even think about it, she immediately responded, and quickly followed the guard out of Yongning Palace, and just about to head towards the saint’s palace, the guard suddenly covered her mouth and hit her back of the neck with a palm. .
Before she could even shout, she fainted.
The guard carried her on his shoulders and flew over the roof.
In the dark night, a dark shadow followed him.
——-
There was a wind in the night.
Qiao Sha was blown tightly by the wind, and it was so cold in the autumn night breeze.
“Go in and wait.” Xie Lanchi reached out and held her arm, “I’m standing under the boat, so you can rest assured, don’t you?”
Qiao Sha thought for a while, she was indeed tired.
She nodded, and just as she was about to board the ship with the arm holding Xie Lanchi, there were sudden hooves of horses behind her.
She and Xie Lanchi looked back together, and saw a person dressed as a guard riding on a horse in the night, hurriedly approaching, with a person wrapped in a black cloak in his arms.
Is it Cuicui?
The people from Xie Lanchi came back so quickly? Why don’t you see other people?
Are Gu Ze and Li Rongxiu so useless? This did not chase it.
Qiao Sha watched the rider coming quickly, her face turned a little bit cold, and the man jumped off the horse, who was sent by Xie Lanchi.
He hurried over with a person in his arms, “My lord, the one you want.”
Inside the cloak is the fainted Cui Cui.
It really made him bring people out.
“Get on the boat.” Xie Lanchi grabbed Qiao Sha’s hand again and took the lead to help her board the boat.
Qiao Sha was supported by him on the board, and the shaky water surface reflected the broken moon. She hadn’t thought about the countermeasures in her mind.
A feather arrow flew out in a “silly” manner.
Qiao Sha shuddered and was protected by Xie Lanchi. She heard many messy sounds.
“My lord, get on the ship!” Xie Lanchi’s people shouted.
Then a feather arrow flew through the night sky, and the sound of footsteps came little by little.
Is it Gu Ze’s person? Is it Lee Rongxiu’s?
Qiao Sha glanced back in Xie Lanchi’s arms, only to see people in the distance, and could not see who it was.
“Get on board!” Xie Lanchi hugged her and got into the cabin with her.
“Cui Cui!” she yelled again looking for trouble.
Xie Lanchi hesitated for a moment, and suppressed her struggling body, “I’ll go, you hide here.”
He repeatedly compromised, almost indulged.
He let go of her, turned around and went out of the cabin again and shouted: “Give me the person!”
Qiao Sha sat in the cabin and looked at Xie Lanchi’s back at the bow, with smiles in her eyes. She stood up and walked towards Xie Lanchi, pretending to be anxious and said to him: “Don’t hurt Cui Cui.”
She leaned out of the cabin, and a fiery feather arrow shot in her direction suddenly.
“Be careful, host!” 101 immediately turned on the protection mode for her.
But it was not needed at all, Xie Lanchi turned around and hugged her at that moment, and used his body to forcibly block the arrow for her.
She was hit by Xie Lanchi and fell into the cabin. She heard Xie Lanchi’s muffled sound, and his pale face was full of painful expressions.
“My lord!” Jingkong hugged the unconscious Cui Cui and jumped into the cabin.
The ship was swaying, pushed up by Xie Lanchi’s men, and slid quickly.
The boat left.
Qiao Sha held Xie Lan Chi in his arms, and heard the sound of fighting from the shore outside and Gu Ze’s voice. He shouted sharply: “Stop that ship! Except for the imperial concubine, other characters are killed!”
Finally arrived.
“My lord!” Jingkong rushed forward, reaching out and supporting Xie Lanchi’s shoulder, “You got an arrow…”
Qiao Sha’s fingers holding Xie Lanchi were stained a little by the wet, hot liquid, which was Xie Lanchi’s blood.
The arrow shot into his shoulder, and his clothes were blackened by the fire.
He had a lot of cold sweats, gritted his teeth and trembled with pain, but he was holding his arm for fear of pressing her. He looked at Qiao Sha in his arms, and his blood was stained on her face in vain. The eyes were full of horror.
“Xie Lanchi, you, why are you blocking arrows for me?” She looked at him with his blood in her palms.
Enduring the pain, he stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from her cheek, and muttered, “Don’t you understand? You… don’t you understand my intentions?”
She looked at him, her eyes reddened a little, and tears slid down the tail of her eyes into her temples.
she cried.
Are you crying for him?
She raised her hand to hold his face, choked in her throat and said to him: “I knew today, why didn’t you understand me? Let me go?”
Xie Lanchi’s heart melted a little bit in her tears. He gasped in pain, rubbing his fingers against her tears, and sighed and said, “Just treat yourself as if you are…”
Why doesn’t he regret it?
He had regretted it a long time ago, and regretted doing this to her.
It’s a pity it’s too late.
The ship was slammed into it, and Xie Lanchi slammed into the cabin, reaching out to protect Qiao Sha first.
The sound of fighting suddenly came close to my ears.
Qiao Sha heard the screams coming from outside in Xie Lanchi’s arms, and Jingkong drew his sword and said: “The ship is trapped by their people.”
Yes, it is too late.
Gu Ze’s people were originally afraid of revealing their whereabouts, and followed them on foot, but Qiao Sha’s two delays caused Gu Ze’s people to catch up.
Gu Ze brought all his capable men, jumped into the water to catch up, desperately trying to trap the ship.
The boat shook violently and stopped in place, and it seemed that someone was about to jump onto the boat from the water.
Qiao Sha couldn’t tell whose scream was, only Jingkong’s sword groan.
Jingkong was forced to retreat into the cabin, carrying a **** sword, and said to Xie Lanchi: “My lord can only abandon the ship, you leave with your subordinates first!”
As soon as Xie Lanchi asked Qiao Sha to be taken away by Jingkong, Qiao Sha had already broken away from his embrace and pushed him into Jingkong’s arms.
Qiao Sha looked at him with red eyes and tears on her face: “It is me that Gu Ze is going to catch back. You can still run away.” She smiled, retracted the ankle that was about to be caught by him, and said to him: “I couldn’t save you before, now I save you once and we are both clean.”
No, he doesn’t want to make a difference, he no longer hates her anymore, he just needs to catch her.
But she got up suddenly and got out of the cabin.
“Qiao Sha!” Xie Lanchi wanted to catch her again, her figure was already like a fish, slipping away from his fingers like a firework.
“Qiao Sha is back!” He called her desperately.
She did not hesitate, put on a black cloak, jumped out of the boat.
She fell into the dark water.
Everyone shouted outside: “That’s a noble concubine! Hurry up! I want to live!”
He was hooped in his arms by Jingkong, and Jingkong yelled anxiously, “Let’s stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Your lord, if you are caught, no one will be able to save Miss Joe!”
At that moment, his whole heart and whole life were overturned in her jump.
He doesn’t want her to save him anymore, he just wants her by his side, he just wants to take her away, go home, and go back to the hometown she missed.
Such cold river water, she should be… how cold.
He wanted her to be alone and to protect herself.
He regretted it.
