The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 766
Jin Xin helped her to sit at a table in the inn, handed over the tea that Jin Xiu had poured, and said, "Your maidservant never expects to be rich and rich, and she is used to being indifferent with your mother. As long as people are safe and harmonious, nothing else matters." important."

Qingchen smiled slightly, blowing the hot air in the teacup in his hand, and said in a flat and gentle tone: "Contentment is always happy, plainness is blessing, and only those who come out of the palace can understand the deep meaning of these two sentences. You If you follow me, you will see all the dangers of human beings at a young age, and you must cherish this hard-won peaceful life in the future."

Jin Xin nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant knows."

Gu Yunfeng called the shop owner, looked at the recipes handed over by the shop owner, and found that there were really no tricks, so he ordered a few at random, chatting with a few people while waiting for Xiao Er to serve the dishes.

The food in the small town is not special, but sincerity is valuable, every dish is full, Qingchen picked up a chopsticks of dried shrimps and rapeseed and was about to eat it, but Gu Yunfeng stretched out his hand and knocked it away seemingly inattentively.

Qingchen turned her head to look at him in surprise, only to see that he frowned slightly towards the kitchen of the inn, Jinxiu was also sitting there straight, her gloomy face did not move her chopsticks, Jinxin was about to eat, but was forced by her The hard handle was pressed down.

Qingchen saw that there was something wrong with the two of them, and also saw that the innkeeper's expression was a little evasive, as if he was very scared. In the kitchen just now, she seemed to see a shadow flashing past. Just the guy in the store.

Jinxiu pulled out a silver hairpin from her head and tried it on a dish of fried asparagus in front of her. The silver hairpin immediately turned dark purple, and the chopsticks in Jin Xin's hands fell to the ground in shock.

Qingchen glanced at her and said indifferently: "Don't startle the snake, let's talk about it at night."

Gu Yunfeng said in a low voice: "It seems that the food in this store is unpalatable, you go to the guest room to rest, I will go to the street to buy something to eat, no matter what, don't act alone."

Jinxiu greeted the boss and said: "Give us two guest rooms, we are too tired, please bring the food to the room."

The boss hurriedly responded, greeted Xiaoer and took them to the guest room in the backyard.This small inn has two floors, Qingchen chose the one near the stairs, and then booked another one next to it for Gu Yunfeng to live in.

After a while, someone brought in all the food, and Jin Xin rewarded the little girl with some coins, then closed the door and waited for Gu Yunfeng to come back.

Jinxiu looked at the food on the table and said coldly: "I don't know who's hands and feet are so fast, we've only been out of Beijing the first day, and they've caught our eye."

Qingchen's mood was not so heavy, she probably knew the reason why Shu Xuan was secretly protecting her, her expression was not as solemn as the two of them, and she took a closer look at the guest room, and saw that although the furnishings inside were simple, they were not so serious. Rough and crude, the bed is the most common blue gauze curtain, and the bedding is also made of coarse cloth, but it is clean.

After a day's driving, the mood that had been relieved just now became uneasy again. Standing in front of the window, I saw that there were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally passers-by were in a hurry, anxious to go home for dinner.

Her eyes gradually darkened like the sky, she frowned slightly, and said coldly: "There are too many people who want me to die, even if we are murdered here tonight, I am still a fool. How fast did the news spread here? It was just a decision made in the evening, and the news that we were going out of the palace was already known by the next morning. If you want to kill us outside, you will definitely make preparations in advance. As for who has this ability, in fact, if you think about it carefully, who doesn't? They are all young ladies from family backgrounds, which family doesn't have money to buy killers to do something?"

After a pause, she turned around and said, "Even if Concubine Li doesn't have this ability, she can still secretly tell the queen the news, and she might use the queen's hand to get rid of me. Not to mention Qin Wanrong and Xue Changzai , The Qin family is a big family, so there must be dead men, and the Xue family should not be underestimated, so how should I guess? Maybe I can only ask Jinxiu and Fufeng at night when you and Fufeng can catch the living."

Jinxiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the servant knows, don't worry, the servant will definitely be caught alive tonight."

Gu Yunfeng went to buy food, and when he came back, he only brought back a few steamed buns, and said sorry: "This town is small, there are not many food sellers, and we came a bit late, and many shops have been closed. Once you're out of the house, let's make do with some food, otherwise, how can I have the strength to go on my way tomorrow?"

Qingchen distributed the steamed buns to everyone, and then asked Gu Yunfeng: "On the way, you said that the emperor sent General Fufeng to protect us secretly, where is he now?"

Gu Yunfeng replied: "Mother, don't worry, when it's time for him to appear, he will naturally appear."

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "I mean, he doesn't have to hide in the dark, just follow us in the open, with him and Jinxiu around, those people will probably know how to restrain themselves. , wise people will no longer embarrass us.”

If you see Fufeng, you know that the emperor has been prepared for this. If you insist on doing it, even if Qingchen can't find out who is plotting against her, the emperor will never let it go. In this world, there are still emperors who want to know. Can't find something?
The night in the small town was exceptionally quiet, Gu Yunfeng stayed in their room for a while, then pretended to go back to the room to rest, lying on the bed with all his clothes on, not daring to close his eyes.Jin Xin and Jin Xiu guarded Qing Chen closely, not daring to be careless in the slightest, even after turning off the lights, all three of them opened their eyes nervously in the dark.

The moonlight came in through the window, like the lingling cold light reflected on the blade, they were not poisoned to death, someone would definitely come to assassinate them tonight, Jinxiu's sword was always in his hand, waiting to be unsheathed and drink blood at all times.

Around midnight, there seemed to be a wind blowing in through the window, causing the curtains to flutter slightly, but for some reason, it made her feel hairy all over, and suddenly a layer of goose bumps appeared on her arms.Jinxiu blocked Jinxin and Qingchen behind the bed curtain, and said in a low voice: "The assassin is coming, be careful."

Sure enough, he saw a figure flying in from the window. Through the moonlight, he could see that the person was wearing a black night clothes, and the steel knife in his hand was chilling. He walked lightly to the bed, where Jinxiu had already The dummy buried in the quilt, while the assassin raised the quilt with one hand, the other hand had already chopped off the pillow.

Qingchen was startled, if they were the ones sleeping on the bed at this moment, then her head might be about to move.

At the same time as a soft "buzz" was heard, Jinxiu's sword came out of its sheath like a flash of lightning, and stabbed straight at the man. The sound of fighting also flew in from the window to help.
