Zhao Xianci didn't quite understand what it meant to say "I want to come back even if I risk my life". She frowned and asked Liang Chun, "You're already back?"

Liang Chun was very embarrassed, "We are almost at the border of Southern Province."

All along, his men followed Zhao Qinian's mother and son, so he only dared to catch Zhao Qinian and beat him up, and he did it with discretion. At most, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, which would disappear after three to five days of rubbing some bruises.

Generally speaking, those thugs mainly harass them and make them feel uncomfortable.

For Ji Fulan, everyone kept a respectful distance, especially after Zhao Xian sent word of mouth to them to find a way to properly arrange Ji Fulan, and they dared not do anything offensive to Ji Fulan.

Who would have thought that Zhao Qinian didn't use his brain, but Ji Fulan was a bit shrewd.She received a lot of cold looks and disgust from the outside, so she could feel the retreat from those thugs who seemed to be bluffing. After a few trials, Ji Fulan made sure that these people dare not do anything to her.

Liang Chun didn't expect that from then on, every time his people found Zhao Qinian, Ji Fulan would hold her son in her arms, leaving no one to attack.Zhao Qinian, who was in his early twenties, huddled in his mother's arms as well as a baby, which made Ji Fulan's motherhood even more violent, causing the thugs to restrain their hands and feet, and did not dare to do excessive things.Ji Fulan became more courageous because of this, and when she heard the news from Nanxing, she immediately decided to bring her son back to find Zhao Xianci.

After listening to Zhao Xian's words, he let out a sigh of relief, "Do they know that Yang Shixian brought people to seal up Zhao's house?"

"I know, but the eldest son feels that he and Zhao Qinian are good brothers and have some friendship, Yang Shixian will not embarrass them."

"Hey!" Zhao Xian laughed angrily, "Mother thinks so too?"

"Madam trusts Eldest Young Master..."

Silent for a long time, Zhao Xianci's face gradually lost expression, she said lightly, "Since my brother is so capable, let them do as they wish." She lowered her eyelids, her eyes flickering, "Bring everyone back, Leave them alone."

Liang Chun paused, looked at the calm expression of the second lady, moved his lips and wanted to say something, but just sighed, "Okay."

The Zhao family is completely over, and the only hope lies in this young lady.The only thing Zhao's mother and son can count on is Zhao Xianci.Liang Chun thought to himself, it's a pity they don't know how to cherish.

Now there is a lot of noise in the southern province, even Zhao Xianci, as the Zhao family, dare not show up.

Although I don't know why Second Miss sent them out of Nan Province early, but judging from the current situation, it is wise to stay away from Nan Province.

The mother and son, however, desperately wanted to run back and throw themselves into the trap. Obviously, the two were definitely not because of their deep love.

Liang Chun knew this very well, but at the current stall, if the second lady let go, then Zhao Qinian's mother and son would be really...unpredictable.

Zhao Xianci can't protect himself now, if they don't come back, maybe Yang Shixian and others are beyond their reach, and there is still a glimmer of life.

But now it seems impossible.

return?Come back then.

However, from now on, life and death are up to each other, and no one should blame anyone.

Zhao Xianci completely gave up.

Qin Muyun held her hand tightly, and while leaning on her shoulder, he took advantage of the situation and kissed the side of her neck, whispering, "You still have me."

Hearing this and feeling Qin Muyun's tenderness, Zhao Xianci suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Yes, I still have you."

There are Uncle Fu, Uncle Du, and Boss Liang.There are also Wan Qing, Xiao Shi and Shou Qing.

Although there is no blood relationship, they are better than relatives.

She was just used to being abandoned by her mother and elder brother, but she was not abandoned by this world.

There has been no news from Lord Qin. Zhao Xianci and Qin Muyun hid in the arena for more than half a month, and then they heard from Liang Chun that the imperial envoy had arrived.Along with the news of the imperial envoy's arrival, there was also the fact that Zhao Qinian's mother and son were arrested and imprisoned by Yang Shixian.

After Zhao Xianci knew about it, his heart was light, and he didn't have the dull feeling like before.

It's probably because I finally gave up my mother and brother completely, so I can feel calm.

It never occurred to Ji Fulan that the suffering they suffered all the way north was nothing more than thunder and rain. No matter how Zhao Qinian was beaten, they would always be able to live comfortably without any reason.But returning to the southern province was the beginning of the real suffering.

Yang Shixian will not treat them preferentially.

Perhaps, people will only have a long memory if they are really beaten and suffer.

After the group of people chasing debt collectors and beating and scolding disappeared completely, Ji Fulan vaguely realized that the real purpose of those people was probably to protect their mother and child. Even beating and scolding seemed bluff, and they were probably Zhao Xianci's people.

The disaster in the prison is different now, the prison is full of vicious people.

Zhao Qinian had really never seen this kind of battle, and because he was a son of a young man with a juicy appearance, he was always teased by others.

There were also people who molested Ji Fulan, what kind of family background did Ji Fulan have, where did she experience such humiliation?

But in the face of a group of men with fierce eyebrows and evil looks, they could only tremble.

Fortunately, the two of them were locked in the prison alone, and even if the prisoners next to them were provocative, at least they kept the last glimmer of hope for them.

It’s just that this glimmer of hope is too weak. People come in and out of the prison every day, and some prisoners are changed cells. They watch with trepidation, lest they be in the same cell as other people.

Zhao Qinian huddled in the middle of the cell, shivering in his mother's arms.

But in just a few days, he already looked panicked and lost a lot of weight.

The gangsters in the nearby cell urinated on them again, trying to urinate on them, but finally saw that it only splashed on Zhao Qinian's feet, so he kicked over the painful urination angrily, and the stench was suffocating.

Zhao Qinian buried his head in his mother's arms and sobbed, "Mother! Mother! When will my sister come to save us!"

Ji Fulan was choked up, and could only pat him and say, "Come on, come on." She didn't know if Zhao Xianci would come again, they were caught by Yang Shixian when they first arrived in Nan Province, and forced to ask them about Zhao Xianci The whereabouts, the two of them only found out, Zhao Xianci had fled long ago.

And apparently, things were much more serious than they thought.

When the imperial envoy arrived, he convicted them of ransacking their home and going to jail, saying that the Zhao family had colluded with Zhou Shilang to rebel.

Ji Fulan was terrified. How can ordinary people afford to rebel?She suffered heavy blows one after another. If she hadn't thought about her son's weakness, Ji Fulan would have collapsed herself.

Will Zhao Xianci come?Can they be rescued when they come?

Ji Fulan didn't know either, or rather, she already knew in her heart that in such a situation, Zhao Xianci was afraid that she would not be able to protect herself, so how could she save them?

But if I don't give myself a hope, I'm afraid I won't be able to endure this prison life for even a moment.

Zhao Qinian had already wet his pants, and now he buried his head in Ji Fulan's arms, his face was very embarrassed, "Mom... I want to... poop." But he didn't dare to go to the urine bucket in the corner, because the bucket had been kicked over long ago Now, the villains around looked at them like monkeys, so that Zhao Qinian held back for several days, and couldn't bear it anymore.

Ji Fulan froze, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you hold back?"

In fact, Ji Fulan herself felt uncomfortable.

But there is no honor in prison.

Zhao Qinian's eyes were swollen from crying, and he hasn't cried a lot recently, "I've been holding back for days...Mother..."

Ji Fulan was still holding him.

25 Liu's son is already much taller than her, but he still looks like a child who hasn't grown up.

Ji Fulan stared at him blankly for a long time, then slowly let go of her hand.

"mother?"

"Nian'er, you are already an adult." Ji Fulan looked at him, "You are a man."

She pushed Zhao Qinian, "Go!"

Zhao Qinian panicked, "Mom?!"

Ji Fulan clenched her palms tightly, but hardened her heart, "You don't even dare to go to the toilet, are you still a man!"

"Mom, I'm afraid..."

After Zhao Qinian finished speaking, Ji Fulan got up slowly, then tore off half of the straw mat that was spread in the cold cell, rolled it up and held it in her hands, and stood in front of Zhao Qinian, "If you take a step back, I will beat you until you don't. "

The prisoners around were all watching the jokes, some were whistling and some were booing.

Zhao Qinian shrank even more.It's not that his mother never beat him, but every time it was thunderous and rainy, Zhao Qinian didn't take it seriously.So now, even though he looked at his mother with an unprecedented stern expression, he still took a tentative step towards her.

Ji Fulan's eyes darkened, and she immediately raised the straw mat in her hand, and slammed it heavily on Zhao Qinian without hesitation.

"Oh! Mother!"

This was the hardest time his mother beat him, Zhao Qinian immediately burst into tears from the pain.

Ji Fulan's eyes were also wet. Her hands were trembling, but she was still standing, "Nianer, mother is old and can't protect you forever. Neither can your sister. You have grown up and become a man. You have to learn to protect yourself and protect yourself." Mother and sister, you are the only man left in our family, if you are worthless, no one will be able to save us."

She was born in a wealthy family. Although she has been tortured in her heart for decades, she has not really suffered any hardships.But now, facing so many villains around her, Ji Fulan finally understood why her daughter had to find someone to beat Zhao Qinian every time she was humiliated.

Her son was so well protected.

Zhao Qinian was still crying after hearing this, but Ji Fulan didn't show mercy. He took a step back, and Ji Fulan directly pumped it up. After a long commotion, Zhao Qinian finally mustered up the courage to walk to the urinal when the prisoners who were watching the play lost their interest. .

The prisoner in the opposite cell deliberately played tricks on Zhao Qinian.

Ji Fulan picked off a brick on the ground and handed it to Zhao Qinian, "You call it back!"

Zhao Qinian has been a bully since he was a child. Back then, there were so many people surrounding Lei Shouqing and his siblings. He didn't dare to do anything when he saw someone fierce.Now facing such a vicious person, I am even more afraid.

Ji Fulan was also scared to death, but for the sake of her son, she couldn't be afraid.

Even if the villain took the opportunity to grab her skirt, tore off her clothes, and touched her through the wooden fence in the prison.

Zhao Qinian was stunned.

"Mom! Ah—" He was crazy, grabbed the brick that Ji Fulan had dropped on the ground, and threw it at the man fiercely...

***

Zhao Xianci slept very restlessly.

Tossing and turning, my heart gradually seemed to be crushed by a mountain.

Qin Muyun patted her on the back lightly, "Xianci?"

"Woke you up?" Zhao Xianci's voice was hoarse.

Qin Muyun held her hand, "Are you... worried about Auntie and Zhao Qinian?"

"...I..." Zhao Xianci was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily, "Life in the prison--the life in the prison is not easy."

She had also been in prison in her previous life, and spent more than a month in prison before being put on the road to exile.

That one month was enough to obliterate the first half of her life.

It was also because of her life in prison for more than a month that she completely changed from a lady of the family to a vulgar woman.

Because in that kind of place, if you are not cruel enough, you will only be bullied.

After she was released from prison, even on the road to exile, she had never been humiliated, because she was ruthless enough.

Left and right are just one life, and whenever the escort officials see her beauty and want to bully her, Zhao Xianci can always resist with all his might.Fortunately, although the officials had bad intentions, they didn't dare to go too far blatantly, so Zhao Xianci escaped one catastrophe after another.

Qin Muyun felt her uneasiness, and hugged her into his arms, "Tomorrow, let's send a letter to Dad to see if we can take care of it, okay?"

Zhao Xianci sighed heavily, and covered his face in a muffled reply.

"I really don't want to care about them, why should I throw myself into the trap." She said, "I really don't want to care about them, I can't even protect myself..."

She repeated it many times, but Qin Muyun just patiently patted her on the back and responded, "I know, I know..."

"this is the last time."

Finally, Zhao Xian said, "For the last time, after I come out, I will never take care of them again."

Qin Muyun couldn't help but sighed softly, "Okay, last time."

As a result, the messenger came back halfway the next day.

"Miss, it's not good. Mr. Qin is under house arrest by the imperial envoy!"

Qin Muyun stood up abruptly, "What?!"

Zhao Xianci hurriedly held her hand and asked for her, "How is your father-in-law?"

"It's just under house arrest. We have food and drink, but we can't see you." Liang Chun hurried in, "Second Miss, Miss Qin, don't worry, Mr. Qin is fine. Besides, the imperial envoy treated Mr. Qin very well, but he didn't let him Meddle in the affairs of the Southern Province."

Qin Muyun panicked and asked, "Which imperial envoy is here?"

"I've inquired. The imperial envoy's surname is Cheng. It is said that he is also from Yangcheng. He has a deep friendship with Qin Daren."

"Cheng?" Qin Muyun was in a daze, his expression gradually became complicated, "Do you have a close relationship with my father?"

Zhao Xianci thumped in his heart, "The Cheng family? Could it be—"

"Cheng Duo."

The Cheng family has a deep family background. After Cheng Duo was frustrated in love, he was actually proud of his officialdom.

Chunwei was on the list and entered the Hanlin Academy.

After the incident in Central Beijing, Cheng Duo was appointed as the imperial envoy for the case of the Southern Province, in charge of picking up matters concerning Yang Can and the Zhao family, the magistrate of the Southern Province.

"When I came, the Zhou Mansion had been confiscated and imprisoned. Zhou Shilang was sentenced to beheaded by Qiuhou, and the rest of the mansion were exiled. Taifu Ji asked to resign. Originally, Ji's family was demoted to common people and could not be hired forever, but The emperor is merciful, thinking of Taifu Ji's love, he only let the Ji family be demoted to the common people. The Zhou family also made great achievements, and their children and grandchildren were just exiled and did not take their lives. As for your uncle, your family—"

Cheng Duo frowned and said, "So far, the Qin family has been under house arrest. Before I came, the emperor meant to put you under house arrest." He paused, hesitated, and then asked, "Miss Qin really married A girl? Then Zhao Kang is really the second lady of the Zhao family?"

Qin Zhihan let out a long sigh.

Cheng Duo looked complicated, "Uncle, what the emperor means is that as long as you and the Zhou and Zhao families are clean, the Qin family will not be harmed. Otherwise, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family is your wife, and the young lady of the Zhao family is your son-in-law." ..."

If the connection is so unclear, it will be difficult for the Qin family to pick it out.

"My Majesty's grace, I will keep it in my heart." Qin Zhihan said, and then said, "It's just that my wife has married into the Qin family, so she has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Everyone knows that I have a deep relationship with my wife. Your majesty is sympathetic to your ministers , should not be so difficult. As for the little girl—"

He stopped and did not say the following words for a long time.

Cheng Duo leaned forward and said sincerely, "Uncle, since Ms. Qin and Ms. Zhao are fake phoenix phoenixes, the marriage can't be real, and the emperor doesn't like the Zhao family very much, so why do you need to accuse me of crimes? Mu Yun has fallen in love with you for a long time, and I hope you will fulfill my wish!"

Qin Zhihan lowered his eyes, he had already expected Cheng Duo's words.

"Si'er, you have been by my side since childhood, so you should know my nature." He said, "In this matter, Yun'er is my only daughter. Since she loves others, there is nothing I can do about it."

Cheng Duo didn't expect Qin Zhihan's words to mean rejection, and he was stunned for a moment, "Uncle Qin! Could you tolerate Muyun marrying a woman?"

"I can't tolerate it," Qin Zhihan sighed, "I have to."

After a pause, Qin Zhihan said again, "But I can give you a chance."

Cheng Duo's mood fluctuated, "Say it."

Qin Zhihan's eyes sparkled, "The emperor knows that you have a close relationship with me, but he still sent you to deal with this matter. Guess why?"

Cheng Duo was confused for a moment, and tentatively said, "I want to see if I will be selfish?"

Qin Zhihan smiled, shook his head and said, "You are still too tender."

The emperor sent Cheng Duo to give Qin Zhihan a signal.A sign of friendship.

"I want to go to Beijing to meet the emperor." Qin Zhihan said, "Yun'er will be taken care of by you during my absence. Don't let her be bullied by the Yang family."

"This..." Cheng Duo wondered, "But, the emperor's order is for me to put you under house arrest..."

"Stupid boy," Qin Zhihan said, "Based on the relationship between you and me, the emperor sent you here just to let me go to Beijing. But on the surface, you can't get close to the Qin family at this time, so I want you to put me under house arrest." , so that others can’t see me. Since they can’t see me, how can others know where I am going?” He patted Cheng Duo on the shoulder, “Good boy, the most important thing in being an official is to figure out what you want. Having said that, you have to think about two, three, and four, so that you can sit firmly."

Cheng Duo thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's all up to Uncle Qin."

Qin Zhihan patted his head, "Don't worry, I won't implicate you."

I just have to feel sorry for my daughter.

Qin Zhihan knew in his heart that even if Cheng Duo believed in him, he should give him some benefits.But now, what else can the Qin family give him?

Besides, Cheng Duo doesn't lack anything now.

Naturally, Qin Muyun had to deal with it for a while.

Holding the letter, Qin Muyun frowned and said, "Father's method is really inappropriate."

Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows and put the letter on the candle, "Yun'er, are you going?"

"I—" Qin Muyun thought about it, even if he went to the capital quickly, it would take three or four months at least.It will take half a year to wait until the imperial decree comes back.

Half a year is too long.

Half a year is enough for Cheng Duo to finalize the case of the Zhao family and the Yang family, and it is also enough for Cheng Duo to make Zhao Xian's words a felony of decapitating the king.

Unless he was stabilized, why would Cheng Duo spend half a year here?

Qin Muyun hugged Zhao Xianci, "Xianci, you have to know that I have no choice but to go to Cheng Duo, the situation is compelling, don't think too much, okay?"

She had to go.

If it was even possible, Qin Zhihan would not let his daughter do such a thing.He loves Qin Muyun the most, but for the moment, only Qin Muyun can hold Cheng Duo back.

Zhao Xianci stared at her, and his voice couldn't stop becoming hoarse, "Yun'er..."

Holding him tightly in his arms, Zhao Xianci murmured, "I'm sorry, I'm useless..."

Other than that, I don't know what to say.

Only that night, they crazily seized each other's bodies, tirelessly, and the dawn never stopped.

When Qin Muyun quietly left, Zhao Xianci was still in a coma.Even so, she was keenly aware of the departure of the person beside her, but she couldn't bear to look at each other. She could only struggle drowsily, until when she woke up, there was no warmth from the person next to her pillow.

Only the bed and fingertips still smelled of Qin Muyun.

But once Qin Muyun left, Cheng Duo knew that Zhao Xianci must be in Nan Province.

It's just that the beauty is by his side, so he is happy to pretend to be confused, and he is not very interested in chasing another girl.

As a result, Zhao Xian's Ci also gained a certain degree of freedom.

But Yang Shixian was tireless.

Yang Can in the prison originally hoped that his son could save him, but who knew that Yang Shixian, now that he was the master of the Yang family, would not want to have another father in charge, so he followed the trend of righteousness to kill his relatives, and sent Yang Can to Beijing under escort , Qiu Hou asked to be cut.

Yang Shixian took Zhao Qinian out of the prison from time to time and asked him about the whereabouts of Zhao Xianci.

Over the past few months, Zhao Qinian had lost a lot of weight, but his eyes became more firm, and even he became silent a lot.

Yang Shixian covered his nose and endured the foul smell on Zhao Qinian's body, but found that he couldn't ask any questions. In his annoyance, he despised Zhao Qinian and turned into a fool. He didn't have the past to tease, and gradually he didn't bother to look for it anymore.

He originally intended to question Ji Fulan, but under Qin Muyun's instruction, Cheng Duo ordered someone to entertain Ji Fulan, but Yang Shixian failed.

Zhao Xian Ci lives like a year.

Although Liang Chun told her that Cheng Duo treated Qin Muyun very well and never offended him at all, Zhao Xianci struggled with his heart and liver every day, and had trouble sleeping and eating.Naturally, she was not afraid of Qin Muyun being bullied. With Qin Muyun's skills, it was not easy for Cheng Duo to bully her.

However, Zhao Xianci just felt that there was a big hole in his heart, and it was pouring wind into it day and night, as if it couldn't be blocked.

She may be able to do business, but it involves political conspiracy and party struggle. As a commoner, Zhao Xianci has nothing to do.

It seems that only at the mercy of others.

She slumped in the dim arena for a long time, helpless for a long time, and a cocoon gradually grew in her heart.

So he took out the commercial route that his father had built back then and looked over it over and over again. That night, he got up suddenly.

Zhao Xianci came up with a bold idea, she wanted to rebuild the commercial road, leading directly to the sea!

Of course it wasn't to meet someone, what Zhao Xianci thought was to leave a way out for himself.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

But the king's land is only on the soil after all, if he wants not to be manipulated by the court at will, he has to go by sea!

Although the sea is fierce, it is far away from the border.

Zhao Xianci realized that the power of the imperial court was insufficient. This was the reason why the Eldest Princess chose to marry far away from Haizhen, and it was also the reason why Mo Guxuan could rely on the Eldest Princess to escape the marriage offer.

It's just that the road to the sea is a big project, and Zhao Xianci estimated that the existing property is far from enough to support a small amount.

Besides, the way of business is of great benefit to the imperial court. If she bothers to do it, she is likely to make wedding clothes for others.

Why bother?
