Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Xu Yaluo didn't stay there for long. He was called away by Cheng Qing in the middle of the night.

She didn't want to leave at first, but the person sent by Cheng Qing called her urgently, saying that there was important matter to discuss, so Xu Yaluo left.

After she left, Ye Yuanxin stayed by her side.

Wei Qiqi never woke up.

Xu Yaluo walked towards the lobby with a sullen face. Cheng Qing usually wouldn't call out so urgently, so it seemed like something must have happened.

Thinking of his two sons who had not returned for a long time, Xu Yaluo's heart skipped a beat.

not……

There were only Cheng Qing and the servants around him in the hall. When they saw her coming, they sent the servants away and ordered someone to guard the place.

"But what happened to the two sons?"

Xu Yaluo walked over hurriedly and arrived in front of Cheng Qing in just three or two steps.

Cheng Qing grabbed her hand and pulled her straight to the point: "I got the news that the emperor died suddenly without leaving a will, and now the court is in chaos..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yaluo lost her voice: "What?"

"Shhh."

Cheng Qing hurriedly pulled the man down, "This matter has not been spread yet."

"How do you know?" Xu Yaluo asked puzzledly.

Xuanzhou is not too far away, but it is still quite far away. How could it get news from the capital?

"The Seventh Prince sent me a letter." He handed her the letter that had been prepared long ago.

Xu Yaluo didn't know what to say anymore, and she unfolded the letter with trembling hands.

As Xu Yaluo read on, her hands trembled as she held the letter, "They are going too far!"

"He wants us to submit to him and use us as the first to come out. He's dreaming!!"

Cheng Qing quickly hugged her and patted her back to comfort her.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Xu Yaluo stayed in his arms for a while, then broke free: "What did you say? You won't agree, will you?"

"For any other prince, whether the eldest prince or the fourth prince, if there is no legitimate heir, the eldest son will be appointed as the heir, and if the eldest son is not suitable, the most capable one will be appointed as the heir. Why did it come to the seventh prince?"

"Hasn't he done enough tyranny and cruelty to innocent girls? He even wants to drag our family into this. I declare that this is his responsibility!!"

Xu Yaluo was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and the hairpins on her ears kept swaying. Under the dim light, she was particularly attractive.

Cheng Qing smiled inexplicably.

Xu Yaluo, who was angry, was confused by his laughter, "What are you laughing at?"

Cheng Qing smiled: "If I say that you look really good like this now, will you be angry?"

The angry Xu Yaluo seemed to be poured with a bucket of water, and immediately calmed down, and said with a somewhat unnatural voice: "You, you are shameless!"

Cheng Qing endured the abuse and took him back into his arms: "I didn't agree. I rejected him tactfully. It's just..."

He paused and hesitated: "It's just that I'm afraid he will use it against us."

"The letters sent out are definitely not limited to Xuanzhou."

"There must be many people who refused. What can he do?" Xu Yaluo said coldly after hearing this.

Cheng Qing did not respond to her, but just kept comforting his wife with his hands, but his thoughts had drifted away.

Since he has refused, he will definitely make an example of someone to scare others and force them to join his team.

I'm afraid Xuancheng is about to face a bloody storm.

"You are in the west courtyard, but what happened there?" Cheng Qing asked.

"I don't know what happened to Qi Niang. She suddenly fainted. I'll go over and take a look."

Thinking of Wei Qiqi, Xu Yaluo's tone was filled with worry.

Seeing his wife worried about this and that, Cheng Qing lifted her face and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll protect you. Go to sleep first. You can do anything after you have rested well."

Xu Yaluo was comforted and went to sleep.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, in the west courtyard.

There were candles lit in Wei Qiqi's room. Ye Yuanxin had fallen asleep at some point. Jian Feng and Jian Yu stayed by Wei Qiqi's side and had not slept all night.

This was the scene she saw when she woke up.

"cough!"

She couldn't catch her breath for a moment, and she choked with a faint sound.

Jian Feng heard it and came to her instantly, while Jian Yu beside him was a beat slower.

"Master, are you awake?"

Jian Feng came close to Wei Qiqi and carefully observed her expression. After confirming that she had opened her eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The fear kept filling my heart.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if Wei Qiqi didn't wake up and Li Yuan found out.

"room……"

Her voice was a little hoarse from not being used, but it did not prevent Jian Feng from hearing what she meant.

He leaned closer, "I closed the door. No one has ever come in."

Wei Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the beams above her head for a while.

Their voices startled Ye Yuanxin. She jumped up and cried with joy when she saw Wei Qiqi waking up.

"Master, you finally woke up, woo woo woo..."

Her voice brought Wei Qiqi back to her senses. Wei Qiqi stared at her for a while and then laughed out loud.

The crying and laughter blended together, causing everyone to stop moving.

Soon the only sound left in the room was Wei Qiqi's low laughter.

"I succeeded..."

“I made it.”

The three people were confused by these words, and Ye Yuanxin was even bold enough to touch Wei Qiqi's forehead.

But it couldn't stop her low, intermittent laughter.

Ye Yuanxin had never seen Wei Qiqi like this before. She couldn't help but grab Wei Qiqi's hand and said with a sad face: "Master, Master...what's wrong with you?"

"Don't be like this, I'm afraid..."

But this couldn't stop Wei Qiqi from continuing to laugh. She was smiling, and under the light she looked like a ghost. No wonder Ye Yuanxin was scared.

"What are you afraid of? Your master won't harm you."

As he spoke he was about to sit up, and the moment he moved he began to grimaced.

"Tsk."

Ye Yuanxin hurried forward to help Wei Qiqi, and Jianyu beside him poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Yuanxin.

When the water enters the throat, it is like a dose of medicine and the place where it touches is healed instantly, and the throat is no longer hoarse and uncomfortable.

"When is it?"

Wei Qiqi asked, looking out the window. It was pitch black outside and no real shadow could be seen.

"It's the hour of Yin."

Jianfeng replied.

"Everyone go and rest, I'm fine. Tomorrow morning..." Wei Qiqi stopped talking because she felt really uncomfortable all over.

"Let's see tomorrow morning. If I can walk, you might all follow me and get up early."

Ye Yuanxin and others, who were originally not planning to agree, nodded in agreement when they heard that there was something going on tomorrow morning.

After they left, Wei Qiqi quietly thought about what she had done.

She worked day and night for the past few days and finally succeeded in building a bomb.

Thinking of the range of the bomb explosion, Wei Qiqi couldn't help laughing.

As long as this is mass-produced, at least nothing serious will happen to her and Li Yuan.

As I was thinking, I became distracted and accidentally moved the bruised part of my body, making me grimace.

While feeling grateful for her good fortune, she was also careful to only take a tiny amount, otherwise she would have no chance of survival.

In other words, the bookshelf fell down with full force.
