don't forget lovesickness

Chapter 21 Mantis Catching Cicadas

The night fell, and the night sky was full of stars. Gu Qingqian sat in the room and only lit a lamp and put it on the table. The bright candle magnified her shadow and projected it on the window.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the candle flickered slightly. She was slightly taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw a black figure standing in a corner of the room, looking at herself quietly.

Gu Qingqian lightly opened her red lips, blew out the only candle in front of her, and looked up at the black figure, even though she couldn't see him clearly, but she knew it was Yi Feiyue, she looked at the unexpected but also expected it She who appeared in the movie was silent.Yi Feiyue lowered her eyes slightly, looking a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to explain all this, she wondered if Gu Qingqian would believe her if she explained it herself.

The moonlight reflected on Gu Qingqian's body through the window lattice, she stood up slowly, walked towards Yi Feiyue, looked at her who was hidden in the darkness, smiled softly, stretched out her hand to caress her cheek, and said softly: " It's only been a month since I saw you, and you've lost weight, and you can touch your bones." Although Gu Qingqian was joking, her eyes were full of distress, and she came so soon, I'm afraid she had to work day and night to catch up , everyone has lost a lot of weight, and it is actually not easy for her to come here.

Yi Feiyue paused slightly, she knew that she didn't need to explain at all, she reached out to cover Gu Qingqian's hand, gently held it, and took it off her face, but did not let go: "He is in trouble You?"

"No, I'm very useful to him, and he won't embarrass me."

"I'll take you out of here, okay?" Yi Feiyue didn't have any expression on her face, her tone was very flat, but she couldn't hide the hope in her eyes.

Gu Qingqian's heart trembled slightly, these words were so tempting to her, she really wanted to agree, she also wanted to be self-willed for a while, but she couldn't do it, she couldn't abandon Dai Showa Xiao Yan, let alone leave the Gu family behind, she shook Yi Feiyue's hand lightly, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine now, so you can go back, don't let aunt worry, listen to aunt, I will Take good care of yourself."

The hope in Yi Feiyue's eyes slowly dissipated. This was the answer she had expected, but it still made her feel so uncomfortable. In the end, she still chose responsibility. Maybe she made the request too capriciously, so she had no reason to let Gu Qingqian accompanied her self-willedness, she looked at Gu Qingqian quietly, and said softly: "This time I don't want to listen to her anymore, if I didn't obey from the beginning, maybe you wouldn't be here. "

Gu Qingqian held Yi Feiyue's hand, and unconsciously held it tighter and tighter: "Fei Yue, this road is the only way I must go, and it is the only way I must go to get everything back."

Yi Feiyue smiled faintly, and said softly: "Qingqian, as long as it is what you want to do, I will accompany you."

Gu Qingqian's heart beat faster, and she looked at Yi Feiyue in the darkness in front of her, making her feel dazed for a while, as if they were the same.

"Since there is a guest, why don't you come out and want to meet?" An abrupt voice sounded outside the door.

Gu Qingqian was slightly taken aback, and looked sideways, only to see that the courtyard was still pitch-black just now, but the lights were brightly lit immediately after these words, and countless torches could be vaguely seen, not only that, but the surroundings of the room had already been surrounded , she frowned, obviously she was very careful, why was she still found.

Yi Feiyue was very natural and didn't care, she had guessed that this would happen a long time ago, she had no plan to get out, she turned her head to look at the door, and walked towards the door, but was pulled Stopped, she turned her head to look, only to see Gu Qingqian looking at herself with worry on her face, she smiled lightly, and said: "Since he has been waiting for me, how can I refute his opinion? Why not go to see me, He can't help me."

Gu Qingqian was a little puzzled, always felt that there was something in Yi Feiyue's words, as if there was a game waiting for her here, but she chose to come despite knowing it.

Yi Feiyue gently pushed away Gu Qingqian's hand, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door, opened the door with a "wow", and saw guards standing all over the garden, Raising her eyes slightly, the roof was also surrounded by archers, and the arrows in their hands were aimed at her. She smiled faintly and walked out, not afraid of everything in front of her, looking straight at Qin Zhihao.

"My lord!" Yuchan standing beside Qin Zhihao couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

Qin Zhihao naturally listened to the sound. He just received a secret letter saying that someone would come to kidnap the eldest princess, but he didn't know who it was. He naturally didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect it to be from Xiuling Palace. Lord, this surprised him a little. He stroked his beard and said in a loud voice: "It turns out to be the Lord of Xiuling Palace. Rumor has it that I only heard his voice but never saw him. Today, this old man is lucky to see his true face. It’s not in vain for the old man to spend so much time arranging.”

Gu Qingqian also came out, listening to Qin Zhihao's words, obviously he didn't know who was coming, but his words clearly said that he had known in advance and set up a game, combined with Yi Feiyue before Thinking of what she said to herself, Gu Qingqian couldn't help shivering. She raised her eyes and looked at Yi Feiyue's back. She resolutely came to find herself even though she knew that there was a problem, and she set all this right It was her mother——Xiao Jihua, what kind of mood did she have when she came to find her.

Yi Feiyue slightly turned her head to look at Gu Qingqian behind her, her eyes were full of astonishment and pain, more of it was self-blame, this moment made her feel inexplicably at ease, even if she went deep into the tiger's den, she would not regret it.Yi Feiyue gave Gu Qingqian a reassuring smile, then turned back to look at Qin Zhihao, with a half-smile, and said flatly: "Prime Minister Qin underestimates this deity too much, even such a small person wants to trap this deity ?Since the deity dares to come, he will naturally be able to retreat unscathed."

"Your Majesty is so bold, why don't we try it out?" Qin Zhihao's eyes flashed a gloomy look, and he waved his hand, "Let the arrow!"

Hearing the sound of shooting arrows, Yuchan couldn't help but took a step forward. She really wanted to tell Yi Feiyue loudly to let her leave quickly. There was already a net here, but she didn't expect that the person who entered the net was actually Yi Feiyue. Yue, at this moment she didn't know how to choose, one was her father who held her life in his hands, and the other was her friend who had been with her for many years, she opened her mouth but was too scared to make any sound.

"Fei Yue!" Gu Qingqian rushed up immediately, but was stopped by the guards, and could only watch Jian Yu fly towards Yi Feiyue.

Yi Feiyue didn't take these things seriously at all, and pulled out a soft sword from his waist. The sword light danced, and the sound of arrows colliding with the sword could be heard. After a burst of sword rain, Yi Feiyue was scattered around. There was a pile of arrows, but she stood among them intact, with a half-smile still on her face.

Qin Zhihao frowned slightly, he didn't expect Yi Feiyue's martial arts to be so high, and the waves of arrows didn't hurt her at all.He turned his head and glanced at the attendants beside him. The attendants understood and gestured to the archers. The archers dropped their ordinary bows and arrows and replaced them with military guns.

Gu Qingqian looked at □ for a moment, he didn't expect Qin Zhihao to distribute these crossbows to the guards, this is more powerful than bows and arrows in short range, she quickly shouted to Yi Feiyue: "Feiyue, go!"

Of course Yi Feiyue also saw it, frowned slightly, then relaxed, and said: "It is said that Prime Minister Qin is under one person and above ten thousand people, I'm afraid it's not true when I see it today."

Qin Zhihao was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Why did your lord say that?"

"Even military guns can be used by the guards. I'm afraid that under this person, the status of the prime minister is lowered. I think the prime minister is unwilling to be under others."

Qin Zhihao's face instantly became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Fire the arrow!"

Yuchan could no longer control herself and said loudly, "Go! The arrow is poisonous!"

Qin Zhihao raised his hand without any hesitation, knocked Yuchan to the ground with a slap, and said in a cold voice: "At the beginning, I sent you for my father to monitor the information network of Princess Xiuling Palace, and now you are going to betray me. huh?'

Yuchan sat down on the ground with her head bowed, not daring to raise her head to look at Qin Zhihao, her tone trembling: "No, father..."

"Then stay aside obediently and be your second lady of the Xiangfu. If not, then become a servant and weigh it yourself." Qin Zhihao threatened Yuchan coldly, not caring that this was his own. Daughter, she is nothing more than a useful pawn to him, a daughter that he only got carelessly.

Yuchan's heart seemed to be devastated by frost. She always knew that she was a pawn in her father's hands, but she didn't know that she was just a pawn to him, and she didn't care that half of his blood flowed on her body.At this moment, she felt so disgusted that the blood of this kind of person was flowing on her body, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She slightly raised her head to look at the father whom she had called for 18 years, Her eyes were full of sadness, she thought that she could gain his approval by doing everything he explained, but this idea was completely shattered from then on.She took a deep breath, stood up slowly, stood behind Qin Zhihao, looked at this person's back, maybe she should have recognized it earlier.

Yi Feiyue naturally heard what Yuchan said, but she has no way out, since Gu Qingqian wants to stay, then she has to cooperate with her, or pretend that the rescue failed without showing any traces, she can't just leave so casually , she used the soft sword in her hand to resist most of the arrows, but she couldn't prevent a small part of the arrows from passing through her defense. Yang and Mu Yi sneaked out alone without paying attention, which also means that the use of internal strength will lead to the recurrence of old injuries, but she can't show it.

The archer fired wave after wave of arrows at Yi Feiyue alternately. Such a long attack made her energy exhausted, and her internal injuries began to recur, and even became more and more serious, but she endured it. .

Gu Qingqian stared at Yi Feiyue closely, but there was nothing he could do. He watched her getting more and more tired, and also watched an arrow shoot into her arm.Gu Qingqian couldn't bear to just watch like this any longer, she lowered her head and found the sword at the waist of the guard who was blocking her, pulled it out and pressed it against her neck, and shouted to Qin Zhihao: "Stop it!" ! Otherwise, I will let you get nothing!"

Qin Zhihao looked up and saw that Gu Qingqian wanted to threaten him, he felt a little displeased, but he didn't intend to stop, but glanced at the guard beside Gu Qingqian.After receiving the instruction, the guard rushed towards Gu Qingqian to grab the sword in her hand.However, Gu Qingqian had already guessed the guard's intentions, quickly took a few steps back, moved the long sword a little closer to her neck, and in a split second, she could see blood coming out along the edge of the sword, the guard was stunned , dare not rush forward rashly.

"Ben Gong said stop!" Gu Qingqian stared at Qin Zhihao coldly, in such a disadvantaged environment, her eyes did not show any weakness or retreat, and even showed a trace of sternness.

Qin Zhihao didn't expect Gu Qingqian to do this. He had never seen the fierceness in his eyes. Even so, he didn't care. To him, it was just a trick to threaten him. He said: "Is Your Royal Highness disregarding King Xin's life?"

Gu Qingqian did not hesitate or flinch at all, at this moment she only had one thought in her mind, to protect Yi Feiyue, she moved the long sword closer to her neck again, blood also flowed down her neck to her collar , but she didn't even frown, but said lightly: "Prime Minister, trusting the king's life is very important to me, but if I die, trusting the king is just a waste of chess for you. Isn't it?"

"Aren't you afraid that the old man's anger will implicate King Xin? Do you think the old man will let King Xin go after you die?" Qin Zhihao said in a low voice, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"This is his destiny. I can't protect him for the rest of my life, and the world will still be surnamed Xiao. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be so anxious to find me to replace the person on the throne." Gu Qingqian said Looking at Qin Zhihao indifferently, she has already guessed Qin Zhihao's purpose and urgency, because Xiao Yu is not something he can easily control, and if he is not careful, he may be doomed, and she is confident that he can win this bet. One round.

Qin Zhihao didn't expect Gu Qingqian to see the situation so clearly, which made him feel even more that he underestimated the eldest princess, and it also showed that the lord of Xiuling Palace in front of her was very important to her, even It was more important than King Xin, and he didn't care about her because of her. This made him want to capture the person in front of him alive. After thinking about it, he waved his hand, and the archers stopped.

Gu Qingqian looked at Yi Feiyue, when she was comparing patience with Qin Zhihao, Yi Feiyue's body was already covered with scars, but even so, she still stood naked, only panting slightly.Gu Qingqian did not put down the sword in her hand, but walked towards Yi Feiyue, came to her side, looked at the scars on her body, felt distressed and angry intertwined in an instant.

Yi Feiyue looked at Gu Qingqian wearily, and also saw the bright red blood on her neck, which deeply burned her eyes and pierced into her heart, she reached out to take the sword from Gu Qingqian's hand, Gu Qingqian took a few steps back and shook her head.Yi Feiyue took a step forward and wanted to snatch the sword from Gu Qingqian's hand again, but the exhaustion of her body and the recurrence of internal injuries forced her to lose her strength, and she knelt on the ground uncontrollably.

Gu Qingqian took a step forward and wanted to reach out to support Yi Feiyue, but she couldn't let go of the sword in her hand. Letting go would mean that the situation might change at any time. She could only watch Yi Feiyue kneeling on the ground, feeling deeply It was also mentioned that she was ruthless, and suddenly turned to Qin Zhihao and said, "The antidote."

"Is the eldest princess asking too much?" Qin Zhihao neither likes to give in, nor does he like others to push forward, but the person in front of him challenges his bottom line again and again, and he has nothing to do. This made him very annoyed, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and looked at Gu Qingqian coldly.

"I said the antidote!"

Qin Zhihao could no longer restrain himself, and said angrily, "Princess, don't push yourself too hard!"

"Hand over the antidote and let her go, and I will cooperate with you. If not, the prime minister will decide for himself." Gu Qingqian didn't care about Qin Zhihao who was full of anger in front of her. She only had one idea, let Yi Feiyue leave here.

Qin Zhihao glared angrily, wishing he could swallow Gu Qingqian alive, but he couldn't do that, the Nine Color Order has never been known where it is, and if he was impulsive now, he might have to resort to rebellious means to protect himself, but this would only make people lose their minds. The more turbulent, the veterans who oppose themselves have more reason to resist themselves.

"Father," Yuchan stepped forward and came to Qin Zhihao's side, "Why don't I let my daughter arrange it and let her take her out of here. In her current state, she can't escape. I will take her to a The place is closed, father doesn't have to worry about this chess piece escaping, and I have a way to gain the trust of the eldest princess."

Qin Zhihao frowned slightly, and he turned his head to look at this obedient daughter again, with a hint of distrust in his eyes.

"Prime Minister!" Suddenly, the butler hurried over and whispered something in Qin Zhihao's ear.

Qin Zhihao's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Seeing that Gu Qingqian in front of him had no intention of giving in at all, he looked at Yuchan beside him with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and said bitterly, "Okay, I promise you."

Yuchan took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Let me take the lord away."

Gu Qingqian turned to look at Yuchan, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, even a little distrust.

This made Yuchan a little uncomfortable, she walked towards the place where Gu Qingqian stopped five steps away, and said, "His Royal Highness, you hand over the Lord to me, and I will detoxify her and take good care of her. Although her medical skills are not as good as Yi'er's, I'm afraid no one in Beijing can match my medical skills. Since my father has agreed, I will naturally take her away. You don't have to worry, and you have no choice but to Believe it, or you'll just watch her die slowly."

Gu Qingqian lowered her head and glanced at Yi Feiyue. Sweat dripped down her pale cheeks, the wound was slightly purple, and her breathing became heavier and more unstable. She really had no choice. Yes, I can only nod and agree.

Yuchan hurriedly stepped forward to help Yi Feiyue up, but suddenly heard Gu Qingqian say something that only she could hear, she paused, regardless of the weak Yi Feiyue's resistance, without the slightest hesitation or pause He took her out of the courtyard.

Qin Zhihao looked at the back of Yuchan leaving, and he always had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain it. He didn't turn his head to look at Gu Qingqian until Yuchan disappeared from his eyes and said, "Can the eldest princess put down her hand?" I got the sword."

Gu Qingqian's face was already pale, blood soaked her collar, watching Yuchan and Yi Feiyue disappear in her eyes, she finally relaxed, the sword fell from her hand, and she couldn't stand anymore, Slowly collapsed to the ground and passed out.

Qin Zhihao cast a cold glance at Gu Qingqian who was lying on the ground, and said to the butler, "Send the eldest princess back to her room, and ask the doctor to bandage her so that she can take good care of her. Don't let her die like this."

"only."

Qin Zhihao snorted coldly, turned and left.

Yuchan led Yi Feiyue out of the prime minister's mansion through the back door and turned into an alley. She chose a hidden corner and did not take her to a certain place and lock her up as she told Qin Zhihao. She had already woken up from that slap, and she knew that if she wanted to take Yi Feiyue away smoothly, she could only cheat Qin Zhihao's trust, and she never thought that Gu Qingqian would actually believe in herself, and the words she said when she left The words still echoed in my ears "I know, you won't hurt her".It turned out that Gu Qingqian's distrust at that time was also for Qin Zhihao to see, just to get Qin Zhihao to agree and not to be suspicious.

Yuchan put Yi Feiyue down, quickly took out the antidote from her bosom and gave her to take it, took out a loud arrow along the way, and shot it towards the sky, now only people from Xiuling Palace can completely protect Yi Feiyue.

"No one will come." Yi Feiyue looked up at Yuchan and said very weakly.

"Why?" Yuchan's eyes were full of puzzlement.

Yi Feiyue stopped talking, looked away, and lowered her head, she couldn't bear it anymore and passed out.

Yuchan looked at Yi Feiyue at this time, she could have completely retreated with her martial arts, even if she wanted to stay and save Gu Qingqian, she would not suffer such serious injuries, but she just gave Yi Feiyue some food. During the antidote, I took her pulse by the way, only to find that she had a very serious internal injury, which obviously didn't just happen, but existed before she came here, which is why she is in such a mess now.

But what happened to cause Yi Feiyue to suffer such serious internal injuries, Yuchan couldn't figure it out. She looked around and found that no one came for a long time. This is very abnormal. Now that Yi Feiyue has passed out, she must Find a place to heal her as soon as possible. After thinking for a while, she finally took out another loud arrow from her bosom and shot it out. It was different from the lotus flower pattern just now. A very strange symbol bloomed in the sky. It was two arrows. She's a villain, with one happy and one fierce expression, she can only try her luck now.

"Okay! I found it!" Muyi stood on the top of the wall and looked at Yi Feiyue, who was slumped in the corner, and said angrily, but she caught a glimpse of Yuchan in a blink of an eye, and she was slightly puzzled. She didn't expect to be there. See Yu Chan here.

Yuchan was overjoyed. The sounding arrow just fired was Mu Yi's unique symbol. It was Mu Yi's request to make it to play with. She gave herself one at the beginning. It was a sounding arrow fired with the idea of ​​trying it out. Yi is really in Beijing, after all, Yi Feiyue broke into the prime minister's mansion alone, she is not sure that Mu Yi or Shen Lingyang are also in Beijing.

Mu Yi jumped down and came to Yi Feiyue's side, she was slightly taken aback, just now Yi Feiyue was hidden in the dark and couldn't see clearly, only when she got closer did she find that she was covered in scars and passed out, she had already taken care of her. Not knowing why Yuchan appeared here, she quickly asked Yuchan, "What happened? How did she become like this?"

"It's a long story, let's find a safe place first."

Mu Yi nodded, and was about to help Yi Feiyue up, but another hand took her a step ahead, she looked up, and it turned out that it was Shen Lingyang who came from another place.In order to quickly find Yi Feiyue, the two of them searched separately, and when they saw the signal, Mu Yi arrived first when they were closer, so Shen Lingyang came late.

Although Shen Lingyang was a little puzzled when she saw Yuchan, she knew that the most important thing now was to take Yi Feiyue to a safe place, so she carried Yi Feiyue on her back, and the four of them hid in the darkness quietly. He left the alley without a sound.

Qin Zhihao frowned slightly, got off the carriage and walked into the mansion. Although Xiao Yu would often send someone to summon him into the palace in a hurry, in the end it was nothing serious, just to play with him, and it was the same today. Looking at the newly made fireworks samples, preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday, but today is too coincidental, which makes him doubtful, and there is always a vague feeling of not being good.

The butler stood at the door and kept pacing back and forth. When he looked up, he saw Qin Zhihao coming back. He hurriedly greeted him, and said softly in a voice that only Qin Zhihao could hear: "Prime Minister, it's not good, the eldest princess is gone. !"

Qin Zhihao stopped and looked at the butler, frowning even tighter, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Returning to the prime minister, after sending the eldest princess back to the room according to your instructions, the villain ordered someone to guard him, and then went to the doctor, but when the villain came back, he found the door was wide open, and all the guards fainted fell to the ground, and the eldest princess is gone."

Qin Zhihao suddenly linked this incident with Xiao Yu at this moment, all of this was too coincidental, Xiao Jihua ordered someone to send a letter to say that there was a secret operation in the mansion, who hadn't been found out yet, so he asked himself to be more careful and look after Xiao Yunhuan , this spy is probably Xiao Yu's person, but the lord of Xiuling Palace is clearly Xiao Jihua's adopted daughter, either Xiao Jihua is deceiving himself, but revealing the secret is unbelievable, or it is the lord of Xiuling Palace and Xiao Yu cooperated, but what would she get from this, which made him a little uncertain for a while.

"Did you send someone to search secretly?"

"Yes, the villain has secretly sent people out to look for them."

"Okay, just in case, you send a letter to the queen, asking her to pay close attention to the movements in the palace."

"Little man, go do it now."

"Wait," Qin Zhihao called to the housekeeper who was about to leave, "Second Miss is back?"

"Not yet."

Qin Zhihao's heart sank suddenly, and his eyes turned cold: "Send someone to look for it!"

The butler was stunned for a moment, looked up at Qin Zhihao, saw his gloomy expression, and quickly responded, "Wei!"

"Father."

Qin Zhihao was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, and the butler also turned his head to look over, only to see Yuchan walking towards them, and came to Qin Zhihao to salute.

"Daughter is back, and the things you asked have been done." Yuchan got up and looked at Qin Zhihao, her face was as usual, very indifferent.

Qin Zhihao asked with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Why did you come back at this time?"

"Honorable Master has been poisoned for a long time, and at the same time, there are many wounds on her body. It took her some time to detoxify her and bandage her wounds, so she came back late." Yuchan said without changing her expression.

"Really?" Qin Zhihao looked at Yuchan in front of him, and couldn't see anything abnormal, but she returned to him so calmly, it seems that he really thought clearly, "Now you take her Where did you go?"

"My daughter thinks that our Qin Mansion's other courtyard outside the city is the safest, and it can avoid people from Xiuling Palace finding out. At the same time, I gave her Ruanjinsan. Even if her injuries heal, she is just an ordinary person. If you can’t run away, father can rest assured,” Yuchan paused, glanced at Qin Zhihao, knowing that he had chosen to believe in herself, so she continued, “If father is worried, you can go and have a look to make sure. "

"Forget it, you've done a good job, I'm very relieved for my father," Qin Zhihao waved his hand, "There are more important things to do now."

"What happened?"

Qin Zhihao looked at Yuchan's obedient appearance in front of him, felt a little relieved, and said helplessly, "The eldest princess is gone."

"What?" Yuchan's face was full of surprise. She didn't understand what happened. Could it be that other than Yi Feiyue knew that Gu Qingqian was in the prime minister's mansion? Shen Lingyang and Mu Yi obviously didn't know, even if they knew , and it is impossible for them to rescue them, if one of them rescued Gu Qingqian, he would definitely tell her, "Is there anything I can use my daughter for?"

"No need," Qin Zhihao shook his head, "Your task now is to keep an eye on the Lord Xiuling Palace, she will be a very important pawn in our hands."

"Wei." Yuchan responded very obediently, looking at Qin Zhihao's far away back, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was right to take the risk of arranging Yi Feiyue to enter another hospital. The most dangerous thing is In the safest place, the plan to come back to appease Qin Zhihao by herself also succeeded. She did not expect to get a piece of news by accident, but what made her a little puzzled was that when she proposed to go back to the prime minister's mansion to appease Qin Zhihao, Shen Ling Both Yang and Mu Yi had strange expressions on their faces, but she didn't have that much time to think about it. What she had to do now was to find ways to gain more trust from Qin Zhihao and get more news.
