After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Since there are people guarding all the exits, and it is impossible for the person who kidnapped Wang Baoqin to go to heaven, there are only two possibilities.

Or, the person is still in the inn, but since the other party dared to do this blatantly, there must be some reliance, so it is not good to act rashly.

Or, there may be some secret passage here, and people have already been sent away from the secret passage.

Regardless of the possibility, it has nothing to do with this inn.

Shen Qingci thought of what she had heard before, that the Sun family's properties were all over Miaochuan, and she suspected that this inn was also one of the Sun family's properties.

In other words, Sun Zhili is most likely the master behind this inn.

And his move was just to take advantage of the two of them.

"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin."

Not long after, Sun Zhili's voice sounded from outside the door.

His movements were extremely fast, and he had already reached the second floor by now.

Sheng Tingye responded, and a hidden guard pretending to be a servant opened the door.

Compared with yesterday, Sun Zhili's attitude was more modest and polite.

Yesterday she was still called Miss Shen Qingci, but today she has changed to "Mrs. Lin".

"Come here rashly, I'm being rude."

Sun Zhili cupped his hands, "It just so happens that my brother is having a banquet in the mansion today, he always likes to make friends, so he happened to hear about the two of you, so he came down to invite you over the mansion."

Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye didn't do anything special, but they were entangled by the Sun's family relentlessly. Listening to the conversation between the siblings before, Shen Qingci reckoned that it was probably Sheng Tingye's face.

They seem to be looking for someone for someone.

And that person happened to look like Sheng Tingye?
I don't know who can get their spare no effort to help.

In normal times, like the Sun family, Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye don't need to pay attention to it, but now Wang Baoqin is very likely to be in their hands, and they want to find out about Miaochuan's weirdness... The fastest way is of course to start from the Sun family. .

Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye thought of something.

Sheng Tingye got up and exchanged greetings with Sun Zhili.

Shen Qingci said anxiously at the side: "I don't know where my sister went, she was obviously in this inn, but in the blink of an eye, she couldn't find anyone."

After finishing speaking, she frowned and looked at Sun Zhili: "Forgive me, Mr. Sun, we are in a hurry to report to the police to find my elder sister, and we really don't have the mood and time to go to the banquet."

Hearing this, Sun Zhili was a little surprised and said, "There is such a thing?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and called the shopkeeper: "Old He, what's going on?"

The shopkeeper named Lao He ran over quickly, bowed and said, "I'm terrified, I don't know, the girl was busy in the stove, and she suddenly said she was dizzy, so I sent someone to help her." Take a rest after leaving her, and you should wake up now."

As he said that, he looked up at Sheng Tingye and Shen Qingci, and said apologetically, "The little one was kind, but I didn't want to misunderstand the distinguished guests."

Sheng Tingye's secret guard clearly said that the back kitchen was drugged and all the people disappeared.

But the shopkeeper turned around and said that it was Wang Baoqin who was dizzy and helped him to rest.

Ah.

Shen Qingci was impressed by the ability of the master and servant to open their eyes and tell lies.

Here, before Sheng Tingye and Shen Qingci spoke, Sun Zhili had already smiled and cupped his hands at Sheng Tingye: "Since that girl is fine, then the two of you should have the honor of going to the banquet together, right?"

It is said to be a "reward", but it is actually a real threat.

Wang Baoqin's "disappearance" was his warning to Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye.

In Miaochuan's territory, even under the noses of Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye, he can get people away without anyone noticing.

Sheng Tingye took Shen Qingci's hand, and smiled at Sun Zhili: "So, I will bother you."

The smile in Sun Zhili's eyes was even bigger, he went downstairs first, and went to wait outside the inn.

At this time, the shopkeeper He Lao also asked someone to help Wang Baoqin out of the back kitchen.

Obviously before Sheng Tingye's secret guard said that he had searched the back kitchen and found no one, but now he was brought back from the back kitchen.

For a moment, the face of the secret guard who just came to report was a little hot.

Shen Qingci felt that he could not be blamed, after all, it was in other people's territory, even if there was a secret channel, it was normal for them to not find it when they first arrived.

She let go of Sheng Tingye's hand and stepped forward to welcome Wang Baoqin.

It should be that the effect of the fragrance medicine in the body is still there, Wang Baoqin is dizzy, walking with one foot high and one foot low, as if stepping on cotton.

Shen Qingci supported her arm and supported half of her body.

Vaguely seeing it was her, Wang Baoqin moaned: "Qingqing."

Shen Qingci patted her arm and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll ask someone to take you to the doctor first."

This was said to the shopkeeper, Lao He.

Shen Qingci helped Wang Baoqin into the room, and handed her over to a hidden guard of Sheng Tingye.

When she said to find a doctor, she actually wanted to send her back to Yunzhou to find Dr. Yang.

The Gu poison on Wang Baoqin's body couldn't be dragged on, and she really didn't want Wang Baoqin to be involved in the muddy water of Miaochuan again.

This was decided last night, and even Sheng Tingye, the secret guard who escorted Wang Baoqin back, had already dialed out.

Although he was dazed and didn't know what happened, Wang Baoqin reached out and grabbed Shen Qingci's sleeve when Shen Qingci turned to leave.

"Take care...be...well..."

Shen Qingci's heart warmed up, he responded, and then turned and left.

Sheng Tingye waited for her at the door, and they went downstairs together.

Sun Zhili should have been sure that they would not refuse, so when they came, even the carriage was ready.

Following the driver's yell, the wheel of the cart turned, and he led them straight to Sun's residence.

Sheng Tingye held Shen Qingci's hand and said softly, "Are you afraid?"

Shen Qingci shook her head, she raised the curtain of the car, glanced at Sun Zhili who was walking ahead on horseback, and said with a cold snort: "Grandma, I'm not scared too much."

Sheng Tingye squeezed her fingertips, "vulgar."

He said she was vulgar, but there was no trace of disgust or blame in his eyes. Shen Qingci looked at her with eyes full of doting.

Shen Qingci suddenly recalled that at the Dali Temple before, she and him were like cats catching mice. She escaped with difficulty, but fell under his nose in the blink of an eye. At that time, she was pessimistic about life and death, and threatened to say—

"If you want to kill, you have to slash you."

"It's not like your aunt and I haven't died before."

At that time, Sheng Tingye, who had always looked cold, couldn't help frowning: "vulgar."

It's just that the coldness in his eyes at that time was true, the sarcasm in his tone was also true, and his dislike for her... was also true.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci couldn't help but sigh, how about 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

If she had known that Sheng Tingye had also been "planted" in her hands, she should have fought back when she was chased by him and almost had nowhere to go.

Thinking about it, Shen Qingci felt a little funny.

Just at this moment, Sun Zhili, who was walking ahead on a horse, suddenly turned around and glanced at her with a smile.

Being swept over by his gaze, Shen Qingci lost all good mood.

She returned the other party with a faint, warm but not impolite smile, and put down the curtain.

It just so happened that Sheng Tingye squeezed her fingertips tightly and drew her attention to him.

I saw him take out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve.

When I opened it, I saw a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside.

Shen Qingci's eyes lit up.

Sheng Tingye handed a piece to her mouth, and said softly, "Cushion first."

As soon as she woke up, she heard the news of Wang Baoqin's accident, followed by Sun Zhili's visit, and she didn't even have time to eat.

He has only drank a cup of hot tea since he got up, and he poured it.

Shen Qingci herself didn't even think of this. Looking at the sweet and soft osmanthus cake near her mouth, she realized that her stomach was empty, and she panicked.

The sweet and greasy aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus cake penetrated into her nostrils.

Shen Qingci felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where did you come from?"

They obviously went downstairs together, why didn't she see Sheng Tingye holding something in his hand.

Sheng Tingye fed her a piece, afraid that she would choke, and brought her a water bag, and said: "When you send Wang Baoqin back to the house, I asked someone to prepare it."

Shen Qingci was stunned.

A piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is sweet from the lips to the bottom of my heart.

After she had eaten and drank enough, Sheng Tingye said seriously: "I haven't had time to tell you that I received an informant report about Chu State this morning."

If it was an ordinary matter, Sheng Tingye would not use such a solemn tone.

Shen Qingci frowned: "What's the matter?"

Sheng Tingye held Shen Qingci's shoulder with one hand, and put the other hand casually on the side wall, met Shen Qingci's eyebrows, tapped the side wall twice with his fingers, and said: "The queen of Chu made a decree the day before yesterday to appoint Crown Prince Xiao Wenyan. .”

Thinking of that female monarch, Shen Qingci's heart twitched.

Gu Qiuli said that she was not seriously ill, but poisoned.

"That crown prince, Xiao Wenyan, was selected by her from among the nephews of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom who have produced five suits."

The empress was "seriously ill", the crown prince took power for the first time, and the court of Chu State was in turmoil. At this time, there was a change in Miaochuan, which is located at the border of the two countries.

It's really unsettling.

The two countries have been in truce for many years, almost making people forget the border battlefield where blood flowed every year.

That female monarch is diligent in government and loves the people, and tries her best to promote the relationship between the two countries, but now the world of Chu State is about to change.

Sheng Tingye clenched Shen Qingci's hand, and said in a firm tone, "Miaochuan can't lose anything."

Therefore, they can't leave the Sun family and Miaochuan who seem to have problems.

Of course Shen Qingci knew this truth.

Sheng Tingye was explaining to her why they still jumped forward knowing that Sun's family was a wolf's den.

She tilted her head and leaned on Sheng Tingye's shoulder: "I know."

"I'm just a little worried about you."

The wounds on his body are still not healed, not to mention the use of force, even the movement of raising his hand a little bit, will involve the wound.

But defending the country is almost a belief engraved in the bones of generals.

Unlike the other princes, he also fought with General Qin to fight the enemy, knew the cruelty of the battlefield, and sympathized with the suffering of the people.

Therefore, when he was in Qiushui Town, even if he was as noble as him, he could calmly eat the cold and hard cornbread.

Every time she knew him better, Shen Qingci felt distressed.

Her heart was moved, she freed her hand, caressed the injured part of Sheng Tingye's chest, and said firmly, "I will protect you."

He protects the mountains and rivers, and she protects him well.

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye smiled knowingly: "Okay."

He hugged her in his arms, "Then Mrs. Lao will have to worry about it."

Shen Qingci couldn't help a chuckle.

But at this moment, the carriage stopped in front of the Sun residence.

Thank you Lan Lan.(づ￣3￣)づ╭～

Thank you for your votes, okay~
