Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she analyzed calmly: "Since Jinsuo is a close friend of Sister Dongfang, perhaps she has seen some key clues, which is why Sister Dongfang left with her."

"Recently, Sister Dongfang has given Jinsuo the task of finding the doctor who treated Aunt Liao and then moved the whole family there."

From this, it can be seen that Jinsuo must have locked onto the doctor's hiding place and informed Dongfang Hongye in time.

However, the two of them suddenly disappeared together. It is hard to guarantee that they did not fall into Aunt Liao's trap...

This Aunt Liao is indeed an extraordinary person.

However, if Aunt Liao dared to kill Dongfang Hongye, she might not have the courage, but...

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan couldn't wait to order:

"Wocan! Hurry to Jingzhao Prefecture. I asked Sister Dongfang to seek assistance from the government before. Maybe Jingzhao Prefecture can provide some useful information!"

"As ordered!"

Wocan immediately took the order and rushed away.

Soon, Wocan brought back a letter, and Xiangzhu handed it to Gu Qinlan. On the letter was written: "Yuqian Lane, Lion Street."

Gu Qinlan gently rolled up the note, turned to Xiang Zhu and ordered:

"Gather the men and set off immediately!"

at this time.

In a quiet courtyard in Yuqian Lane.

Dongfang Hongye felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. His whole body felt weak and even raising his arms was extremely difficult.

She tried her best to open her eyes, and what she saw was Jinsuo lying on the side, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

And it seemed as if someone was pressing on her, making her feel heavy in her chest.

When she looked carefully, she saw a young man about twenty years old, with a handsome face, flushed face, and panting, trying to untie her clothes.

"what!"

Dongfang Hongye screamed and tried to push the man away, but she found that her voice was weak at this time, like the cry of a kitten, and her hand that pushed the man seemed weak and powerless.

This is not resistance at all, it's just like acting coquettishly!

Not only that, Dongfang Hongye felt her body was extremely hot at this moment, as if there was a fire burning inside her.

"Let me go, let me go..." Dongfang Hongye struggled, sweat dripping from his forehead, his anxiety evident on his face.

The man saw Dongfang Hongye waking up from her deep sleep, and his body trembled slightly. Then he said gently: "Dear sister, you don't have to panic. I will take good care of you from now on."

"How dare you! I am the wife of the Minister of State, and my father is the General of the Western Expedition! How arrogant are you? How dare you offend me like this!"

Dongfang Hongye tried his best to remain calm and issued a warning in a cold tone.

She recognized the person in front of her—it was the son of Doctor Lu whom she had been looking for!

However, she never expected that she and Jinsuo would fall into coma shortly after entering the courtyard and talking!

Obviously, they have fallen into a trap carefully set by others!

"Good sister, Shangshu Dou is old after all. How can he compare to me who is young and strong? When we are in love, we will dissolve the marriage with him. I am willing to marry into the general's mansion and spend a good time together."

At this point, the man's eyes became more and more fiery, and he began to tear Dongfang Hongye's clothes roughly.

"Get out! Get out! Don't do this!!! Get out!!!"

The sound of clothes tearing was harsh. Dongfang Hongye was powerless to resist. Despair appeared in his eyes and he slowly closed his eyes.

At this critical moment, the door was slammed open with a loud bang!

"You arrogant bastard! Stop being so arrogant!"

A loud shout echoed throughout the room. Dongfang Hongye turned around and saw a beam of light cutting through the darkness. A figure with the light on his back came rapidly towards her, like a god descending from heaven!

Gu Qinlan took a step forward, and without saying a word, kicked the man to the ground.

The man let out a howl and tried to struggle and fight back, but Gu Qinlan's sword was instantly unsheathed and the sharp sword was placed on the man's neck, causing him to surrender instantly.

"Sister Gu..."

When Dongfang Hongye saw Gu Qinlan, her eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan witnessed Dongfang Hongye's miserable appearance at this moment, and took off his cloak without hesitation, gently draped it over Dongfang Hongye's shoulders, hugged her, patted her back, and gently comforted her:

"Don't panic, sister. I'm here! Let's get out of here first."

"I... I can't move. I feel unwell... It's so hot... Woo woo woo..."

Once Dongfang Hongye relaxed, the strange feeling in her body made her even more painful.

Gu Qinlan frowned and gently placed his hand on Dongfang Hongye's wrist, his face instantly becoming even gloomier!

"You've been poisoned by Qiluoxiang. It's okay. I'll help you get rid of the poison."

As Gu Qinlan spoke, she took out a golden needle from her bosom and directed Xiang Zhu to step forward to support Dongfang Hongye, and she applied the needle skillfully, quickly and steadily.

After a few injections, Dongfang Hongye gradually felt his strength recovered and the burning sensation in his body slowly dissipated.

After Gu Qinlan put down her needle and thread, her eyes fell softly on Dongfang Hongye's face and she asked in a gentle voice, "Sister, are you feeling better now?"

Dongfang Hongye's frown relaxed slightly, and her breathing became steadier than before. She looked at Gu Qinlan gratefully, her voice slightly hoarse: "I feel much better now, thanks to my sister's timely help, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, a blush appeared in Dongfang Hongye's eyes and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, as if they would burst at any time.

Gu Qinlan gently wiped away her tears and turned serious: "Sister, this is not the time to cry. We must leave here as soon as possible. Aunt Liao dared to frame you. She has evil intentions and will definitely not only bring you disgrace."

Dongfang Hongye slowly stood up with the help of Xiang Zhu. She wiped the moisture from her eyes and said with a firm look: "That makes sense. How can I just endure this humiliation!"

Dongfang Hongye, who came from a prominent family, grew up doted on by his parents and brothers. How could he have ever suffered such a great humiliation!

Now, a concubine actually dared to attack her openly. How could she swallow this?

Seeing Dongfang Hongye gradually regain her fighting spirit, Gu Qinlan showed a relieved smile on her face, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a firm and warm tone: "That's good, we must make her suffer the consequences. If she wants to ruin my sister's reputation and try to make Minister Dou hate my sister, we will give her a taste of her own medicine."

Dongfang Hongye's eyes flashed with light, and he asked anxiously: "Sister, do you have a solution?"

Gu Qinlan's lips curled slightly, and a deep and unfathomable light flashed in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "That's right, let her taste the bitter fruit of her own actions."

Not long after Gu Qinlan and others left, Minister Dou hurried over with several of his confidants, led by Lixia, the maid of Aunt Liao.

Minister Dou's face turned pale and his eyes were stern. He stared at Lixia and said in a cold voice, "Did you really see it with your own eyes? Are you dazzled?"
