The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 144
The fire spread rapidly, and the flames had already approached Lin Qingqian's skirt, and the thick smoke made her cough so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

When Gu Changgeng saw this, he was anxious, he didn't care about other things, he pulled out his sword, and cut a guard's arm with one sword, he stepped forward and jumped to Lin Qingqian's side.

Gu Changgeng kicked away the bundles of branches that were on fire, turned around, cut off the rope on Lin Qingqian's body with a neat sword, caught Lin Qingqian who had fallen limply, and led her to leap over to the Safe place in the yard.

His deep eyes were full of anxiety, and he asked in a low voice, "Qingqian, are you okay?"

Before Lin Qingqian could answer, she heard Xu's angry voice: "Bold! Gu Changgeng, how dare you face us with swords, come here! Take him down for me, regardless of life or death!"

Five or six guards listened to Xu's order, drew their swords one after another, and approached Gu Changgeng.

Gu Changgeng's eyes darkened, he clenched the long sword in his hand, and put one arm around Lin Qingqian, protecting her in his arms.

anyway!He will never let anyone hurt her!

The atmosphere in the yard was on fire.

Lin Qingqian swallowed, managed to slow down, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Chang Geng, don't worry about anything, trust me, I'll be fine."

Gu Changgeng frowned, looking down at Lin Qingqian whose face was pale and blood-stained, "You..."

Lin Qingqian gave him a "reassuring" look, pushed Gu Changgeng away, barely managed to take a step forward, and said, "Stop!"

The guards believed in Lin Qingqian's evil words, and when she opened her mouth, she showed timidity and dared not go forward.

Taoist Ling Xiao said righteously: "Go forward and catch the evil again, she must be burned to death, and she must not be allowed to cause harm to the world again! Otherwise..."

Gu Changgeng's eyes fell on Taoist Ling Xiao coldly, and his words stopped suddenly, as if someone was strangling his throat.

Who is this man?His eyes were as cold as knives, making him shudder.

Lin Qingqian scanned the people in the courtyard, her eyes flicked over Mrs. Xu, Lin Qingrou, and Taoist Ling Xiao, and finally stopped on the old lady. She fixed her gaze on the old lady for a moment and walked over.

When Nanny Zhang saw it, she stood in front of the old lady and said in a panic, "Come on! Tie her up!"

But the servants all believed Taoist Ling Xiao's words, and backed away in fear, no one dared to step forward to stop Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian went straight to a place three steps away from the old lady, knelt down "Putong", endured the tears that swirled in her eyes, and said word by word: "Grandma, Qingqian doesn't want to defend herself, I just want to ask you one thing."

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then said: "Tell me, what do you want to ask me for?"

"As Brother Chang Geng said, this priest is just someone with unknown origins, so it's hard to guarantee that he wasn't instigated by someone with a heart..."

Taoist Ling Xiao couldn't wait to interrupt Lin Qingqian: "Nonsense! Pindao is a Taoist priest from the Zhenyuan Temple on Kunlun Mountain. The Zhenyuan Temple is famous all over the world. How can Pindao be someone whose origin is unknown!"

Xu said: "The Taoist priest is right. I believe that all you need to do is to ask casually on the street, and the common people will know the name of Zhenyuan Temple."

Lin Qingqian thought to herself: This is exactly what she wants.

Lin Qingqian continued: "Since this is the case, it is very simple to find out the origin of the Taoist priest. The capital city is not far from Kunlun Mountain, and it only takes one day's journey to go back and forth. Is there any Taoist Ling Xiao?"

As soon as the words fell, Taoist Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, and his tone was a little flustered: "Nonsense! The poor Taoist is a monk with profound Taoism and practice, how can it be fake!"

"The Taoist priest is indeed a Taoist priest of Zhenyuan Temple, so why are you panicking now?"

"Poverty... why should the poor be alarmed!" Taoist Ling Xiao looked at the old lady and said, "Don't let this evil bewitch you! This is her enchanting technique!"

Lin Qingqian smiled contemptuously, kowtowed to the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, Qingqian just asks you to find out the identity of this person, in case someone deliberately harms Qingqian, just take this portrait on the road and go to the real world." Just ask Yuan Guan, and you will be able to understand everything."

"Old madam, this evil spirit is doing this on purpose to delay time, it's unbelievable!"

"Don't worry, Daoist. If I really are the evil spirit you are talking about and have the ability to escape, how can I be tied up by you and almost burn to ashes? Besides, you said that the evil spirit is vicious by nature, but From the beginning to now, have I ever hurt anyone?"

"This... you are..."

Lin Qingqian continued to push forward step by step, and said with a sneer, "Could it be that the Taoist priest is guilty of being afraid of being found out that he is not a Taoist priest of Zhenyuan Temple?"

"Nonsense! Poor Dao would be guilty."

Taoist Ling Xiao took out a token from his wide sleeve, held it up, and said, "See clearly, this is the token of the cultivator of Zhenyuan Temple, with the monk's Taoist name engraved on it!"

"Since this is the case, why is the Taoist priest afraid of asking people to go to the Zhenyuan Temple to check?"

"The poor Taoist is afraid that you, an evil spirit, will make tricks and take the opportunity to escape!"

"The Taoist priest is a Taoist priest with profound Taoism. There must be countless magic weapons that can restrain evil things, right?"

Taoist Ling Xiao subconsciously blurted out: "Of course!"

"In this way, the Taoist priest only needs to restrain me for a day, and after being checked by others, wouldn't it make others believe in your words, otherwise...you are guilty of guilt, you are not a Taoist priest of Zhenyuan Temple!"

"Poverty...Poverty is just..."

Taoist Ling Xiao was forced to stutter by Lin Qingqian, making his words even more suspicious.

Lin Qingqian turned her gaze back to the old lady again, and said: "Qingqian begs grandma, if it is found out that this Taoist priest is not a person with unknown origins and evil intentions, he will say that Qingqian is an evil spirit, and if he wants to kill him, No complaints at all!"

"No, this evil spirit is bewitching people's hearts, I can't believe it!"

Gu Changgeng snorted coldly, "I think it's you, the Taoist priest, who is bewitching people's hearts. What you said, the servants of the prime minister's mansion who need to stay for a long time have heard of it. It's hard to guarantee that someone who is interested will tell you .”

Lin Qingrou said, "Gu Changgeng, stop talking nonsense! Since the third lady woke up after being pushed into the water, how can you explain it?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes were as cold as ice, and he fixedly stared at Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingqian and Taoist Ling Xiao held different opinions, making it difficult to determine for a while.

The old lady showed hesitation and didn't know what to do.

Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, suddenly smiled disappointedly, and said, "Forget it, Qingqian just asks grandma to bring me some pens, ink, paper and inkstone at the end."

"Pen, ink, paper and inkstone? What do you want these for?"

Lin Qingqian lowered her head: "The medicine sachets I made for my grandmother recently are effective for sleeping, but the medicine sachets don't last long. I'll write down the making method. In the future... I'm gone, so that other people can use it to sleep. Do it for grandma, so grandma won't toss and turn every night..."

The old lady's eyes were complicated, and she seemed a little shaken.

Xu said: "Mother, this is what the Taoist priest said, the method of the evil spirit to deceive people, you must not believe it!"

"Yes, grandma, if she is really the third sister..."

The old lady scowled with a straight face, "Enough! Quiet me!"

Everyone was silent, waiting for the old lady's next words.
