Chapter 50 Fifty days in prison(1/2)
“…”
Qin Rong was injured.
When he was rescued from the water by the guards, his consciousness was a little blurred, but his hands were still holding Yingying's wrist.
The two were soaked all over, Qin Rong's upper body was stained with blood, and he looked very injured. The water droplets on his hair dripped down his chin and gently comforted Yingying, "Don't be afraid, are you injured?"
Before Yingying could answer him, Qin Rong's head drooped lower and lower, slowly pressing against her shoulders. Yingying felt his breathing weaker and weaker, and even his body temperature was getting colder.
"Come and save Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The hurried footsteps sounded from far to near, and someone quickly helped Qin Rong up.
This was probably the first time Yingying saw Qin Rong as fragile. He looked pale and closed his eyes, his arms were weak and let go of her hand. Yingying was a little helpless. As he watched his figure move away, his fingers suddenly wanted to hold him.
"Girl!" Xiaodai hurriedly ran down from the upper floor, looked up and down at Yingying and anxiously said, "Are you injured? I just saw His Royal Highness shed a lot of blood."
"Yes, he shed a lot of blood." Yingying murmured, to save her.
The task that had been planned for a long time finally failed due to this incident. Because Qinrong was injured, officers and soldiers soon surrounded Jin Mantang for search. Xiaodai covered Yingying with a thin blanket, looked at the other side of the lake and whispered: "Will our things be searched?"
In order to facilitate escape, Yingying hid her bags on the other side of the lake and buried them, and it was not convenient to get them at this time.
"It's okay." Yingying was not worried about the bag being found. What she feared most was that these officers and soldiers found Chen Xue. If Chen Xue was caught, once he offered Yingying out, it would be the real end.
The incident of the prince being injured in Jinmantang could not be hidden, and soon the entire imperial city was in full swing. Because the incident happened in Jinmantang of Prince Qing, Emperor Wucheng ordered the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. Unfortunately, the Dali Temple sent the temple chief Qiu Yu.
Yingying initially asked Qiu Anan to go to Jinmanlou, so that someone could see her "dead in the water". After the plan failed, Qiu Anan's experience became the key to solving the case. After receiving the news from the Ministry of Justice, Qiu Yu invited Qiu Anan to review it. After asking about the Zhou Zai carefully, he quickly summoned Yingying.
"Why did Miss Gu go to Jinmanlou that day?"
"According to Miss Qiu, the group of assassins are heading for you. Can you see the appearance of the assassin clearly? Or, is there a suspect?"
If he can become Qin Rong's right-hand man, Qiu Yu is naturally a personal genius. Every word he speaks directly touches Yingying's heart, and his tone is calm. Yingying almost thinks he knows something.
"I...I heard that there are many strange treasures there, just want to go and have a walk."
"I don't know why the assassin was heading for me, but the person who was injured in the end was the third brother, and the third brother was still in Prince Qing's place..."
Yingying saw Qiu Yu just looking at her without saying a word. Yingying pretended to be fearless and deliberately attracted Qiu Yu's gaze to Prince Qing. "So Yingying guessed that this incident was caused by Prince Qing?"
Qiu Yu bent a smile, his pale skin made his eyes dark, and he approached Yingying slightly and asked, "Why did Prince Qing choose to take action on his own territory?"
Yingyinghu edited: "It was intentional. Even if the Ministry of Justice found him on his head, no one would believe that he would be stupid enough to murder the prince in his own territory."
Qiu Yu said 'oh', and was not led by Yingying at all. He continued to ask in a cold voice: "Although the injured is His Royal Highness, the original target of those assassins is you. If this incident was really done by Prince Qing, what reason do you think he has to take risks to kill you?"
Earlier, when Yingying was perfecting this plan, she thought about the rescue after the plan failed, so she thought for a moment and then replied to Qiu Yu: "Maybe he knows some secrets in me?"
It’s the so-called Fengming. Whoever Yingying chooses is the next emperor, but what if she is gone?
Qiu Yu followed Qin Rong and knew about this. He froze and narrowed his eyes. He looked at Yingying quietly for a moment and said, "At this time, I will naturally investigate clearly. Please go back to Miss Gu."
Yingying has passed this.
After leaving Dali Temple, Yingying was taken to the palace by Queen Gu's men. Since the prince was injured, Yingying moved into Fengkun Hall the next day and needed to take care of Qin Rong every day.
At first, Yingying speculated that this was Qin Rong's bitter plan, and suspected that he and Chen Xue and his gang deliberately planned to plot against her. After all, once this incident happened, it would not only damage the foundation of Prince Qing, but also tie her to her side so that she could not escape.
But if this is true, Qiu Yu would not be able to value this case so much, and he would not be able to suspect that she was involved in this assassination case. The most important thing is...
If this is really Qin Rong's bitter plan, then the price he paid this time would be too high.
When Yingying arrived at the Eastern Palace, the attendant guarding outside the door told Yingying that His Royal Highness had taken medicine to sleep. Even so, he opened the door and let Yingying in. Yingying walked to the inner room and looked at Qin Rong's pale handsome Rong, sighed and sat next to his couch.
Yingying remembered it wrongly before, but this was not the first time she saw Qin Rong look weak.
The first time I saw her in my previous life, probably after she killed Qiu Anan and Princess Shunhe, her brother who had always loved her beat her and said she would cut off her relationship with her. After Qin Rong took her back to the Eastern Palace, she kept crying again. She was obviously so sad, but Qin Rong still broke her hand at that time, and no matter how she begged him, she showed no mercy.
The memory of that night was too vague. Yingying only knew that she had drunk a lot of wine and didn't feel much pain when her wrist was broken. She just felt wronged and felt particularly wronged.
She didn't remember what she said, but she knew that when she woke up, she lay in Qin Rong's arms. He hugged her very tightly, and blood seemed to flow in her pale and dark eyes. Her eyes looked at her very deep.
He asked: "Yingying Where do you want to go? Isn't Lonely treating you well enough?"
Yingying woke up and felt the pain in her wrists. She couldn't exert any effort and replied with a bad sentence without thinking.
Now that I think back on this, Yingying realized something was wrong in Qin Rong's words, but she had never thought deeply at that time. She was hugged by him when she pushed him away and wanted to run out. No matter how Yingying struggled, he refused to let go. Later, after Yingying was buried in his arms, he gently held her and stroked her face, buried her head and fell into her nest and shouted her name.
He said softly: "I will not allow you to leave me."
“…not accurate.”
I think some memories were hidden too deeply that Yingying remembered Qin Rong's various bad things to her after her rebirth, but she forgot when he cared about her.
With this assassination as a traction, Yingying soon remembered the time when Gu Lingxiao died in a daze when she wanted to kill Qin Rong. Although she failed in the end, it did not mean that she did not hurt Qin Rong. At that time, Qin Rong's neck and cheeks were injured by her. The dragon robe on her body was stained with blood, and she could not tell her emotions with her face down.
In fact, as long as Yingying was cruel, Qinrong would definitely die at her hands, but she didn't do anything after all.
Not only did she not take action, she held the dagger and cried miserably. Qin Rong looked at her crying in a bloody dragon robe. He walked to the window and wiped the blood on his face, and said indifferently: "Yingying, Gu is very disappointed with you."
Yingying couldn't feel how disappointed he was. Yingying only knew how painful he felt when he broke her hand. Later, she became more and more docile and weaker over the days and nights. Her body was also getting worse, and her uneasiness in her dreams was often awakened.
Every time he woke up, Qin Rong would hug her sideways and kiss her on the cheek gently, coax her to fall asleep in a soft voice.
Yingying didn't understand what love was, so that she never asked Qin Rong if she liked her until the end of her previous life. After her rebirth, she remembered that Qin Rong had locked her into the Golden Palace, and how he broke her hand tortured her, but buried all the kindness and tenderness that Qin Rong had treated her at the beginning.
If, if she hadn't done so many wrong things later, wouldn't Qin Rong have locked her into the Golden Palace?
Yingying was too immersed in her mind, her eyes were confused and wet, and her nose was slightly red. It was not until Qin Rong woke up that she came to her senses and went to see the man on the couch. In the blink of an eye, a tear rolled down accidentally. Seeing this, Qin Rong sat up with her arms and asked her in a low voice: "Why are you crying?"
"Nothing." Yingying shook her head, and she wiped away the tears from her face and was a little puzzled. "It was probably because her eyes had been open for too long just now."
Qin Rong raised her fingers and covered her eyes, and gently rubbed her.
Yingying couldn't stay here for too long. After all, the two were not married yet. When she walked to the door, she looked at the inner room again and found that Qin Rong leaning on the couch and still looking at her. Her beautiful eyes were shimmering and deep, and she looked very affectionate.
How could she think that Qin Rong was speculating on her in this way?
"San, Brother San, I'll come to see you tomorrow." Yingying didn't want to think too much, so she left this sentence and hurriedly fled.
After she came out of the East Palace, the system reminded her: [I was extremely excited to detect abnormal fluctuations in the host's mood and my heartbeat was faster.]
Yingying touched her heart, as if she really felt her heartbeat was getting faster. She did not hide or refute, but just asked, "So what?"
The system stopped talking and asked after a long time: [Then are you still running away?]
This time, Yingying didn't speak. She slowed down and began to think about this problem. She casually folded the purple diamond flower from the imperial garden.
Before she could think about it, she ran into Queen Gu who came out to appreciate the flowers with several concubines. The system could naturally feel it. It seemed to remember something and suddenly asked: [Do you still want your aunt?]
"What?" Yingying didn't understand.
The system said calmly: [According to monitoring, your aunt may also have soul fragments hidden on her body. If she is not taken out, she will end up with the same ending as her previous life.]
[Of course, this is just an exception I monitored. As for whether it is true, it has not been determined yet.]
Yingying: "..."
Perhaps God didn't want Yingying to leave. That night, Queen Gu pulled her worriedly and said, "The northwest incident is getting worse and worse. This morning, news came that the Wang Duwei who had sent earlier was captured by Haowenjun."
The current situation is that no matter whether Haowen Country will safely release Wang Duwei back safely, their arrogant behavior angered Emperor Wucheng. It seems that the war between the Northern Region Kingdom and Haowen Peace Sand is inevitable.
Yingying had known that this battle could not be avoided. She had never cared about this matter in this life, but she knew that the northwest incident could not implicate the Gu family, but tonight Queen Gu said that this time His Majesty was very likely to send Gu Lingxiao to the war.
[It's normal. I said that as long as your brother still has soul fragments on him, any dangerous thing can fall on him. What your aunt said is conservative.] During Yingying's silence, the system explained this.
The battle in the northwest in the previous life took a long time. The two small countries of Haowen and Pingsha, which were always inconspicuous, increased their strength after the union of the two countries. In addition, with the secret help of other countries, the Northern Region countries were repeatedly defeated in the later stages of the battle. After the general died one after another, Qin Rong finally set up a plan to gradually disintegrate Haowen and Pingsha and win the battle.
At that time, Yingying could not go to the front line, but she knew how difficult this battle was. And if she remembered correctly, the first time the Northern Region Kingdom sent the Zhang family generals, but in the end they were carried back with white cloth!
If her brother was sent to the northwest...
Yingying's legs fell on the couch as she fell softly, and she smiled bitterly: "System, even if Qin Rong let me go this time, I won't dare to leave."
“…”
Yingying was rarely willing to use her brain to plan for herself, but her so-called escape plan was forced to end before it even began.
Yingying looked openly, and Qin Rong was injured to save her this time. Yingying thought that since she could not avoid it, she would not struggle. At worst, she would never cause trouble again this time. As long as she did not act evil, Qin Rong would have no reason to lock her in the Golden Palace.
After all... When the two of them got married in the first place in their previous life, Qin Rong was also very good to obey her.
After thinking about it this way, Yingying no longer struggled. In order to find a way for her brother to live, she ran to the East Palace more diligently and was better and better with Qin Rong every day.
As the wedding date approaches, the palace ladies have already begun to arrange the Eastern Palace.
When Qiu Yu secretly investigated Prince Qing's mansion and came to the East Palace, Yingying was choosing the bead hairpin to wear when she got married in Qin Rong's bedroom. Qin Rong put her chin on her shoulder and quietly let her choose. When he heard Qiu Yu's voice entering the door, he ordered: "Stand outside and say it."
He did not let Qiu Yu enter the inner room.
Qiu Yu soon learned that Yingying was here and said in a business manner: "There has been progressing in Jin Mantang's affairs. The spies from Prince Qing's mansion came to report that Prince Qing did raise a group of assassins, and... he went to find Li Huaixu a few days ago."
When Yingying heard Jin Mantang, her fingers trembled, and the golden hairpin pinched in her hand fell on the table with a slight sound. Qin Rong felt the stiffness of the person in her arms. He picked up the golden hairpin and inserted it between Yingying's hair, hooking up a strand of her hair.
"Oh?" Qin Rong's tone was calm, and he asked indifferently: "What did Li Huaixu say?"
Qiu Yu frowned: "The results have not been found yet."
"Then keep checking."
When Qiu Yu left, Qin Rong hugged Yingying tightly and said in her ear: "Don't worry, the third brother must find Jin Mantang's assassin."
Yingying forced a smile, and suddenly she was afraid to marry Qin Rong.
If so, what would happen if he could learn the truth? Yingying looked at Qin Rong's handsome face, who was still pale in the mirror, and suddenly shivered.
To be continued...
