After completing her fast-travel missions and returning home, Shen Xun discovered that she was living in a novel world.
She was the cannon fodder in the book, and all her children were villai...
Chapter 57 Great, someone finally comes to farm!
However, before doing this, Qi Jinghao had something more important to do.
"I won't leave," Chu Jingyao shook her head stubbornly, "I want to know the whereabouts of my child."
Qi Jinghao advised: "Mother, it's not safe here. I'm afraid that Father and the others will attack you."
The place he chose was the least guarded in the entire palace, and he could easily escape during the guard change.
Chu Jingyao was silent.
Qi Jinghao said anxiously: "Mother, please don't hesitate. Father really wants to kill you. If not for yourself, you should also think about your elder brother and sister."
Chu Jingyao was stunned for a moment and looked at Qi Jingyan and Qi Jingyin.
Indeed, she has two children to protect and shouldn't be so impulsive.
After waking up, Chu Jingyao didn't know how to face Qi Jinghao.
Logically speaking, Qi Jinghao was the son of her enemy. Even if she didn't resent him, she should at least hate him, but she... couldn't seem to hate him in her heart.
Qi Jinghao scratched his head uncomfortably, "Mother, you guys should take a rest. I will take you out quickly."
After saying that, he turned around and left. If he didn't leave, he would not be able to control his tears.
"Jinghao."
Qi Jinghao didn't turn around, but asked with his back to her: "What's wrong?"
Chu Jingyao closed her eyes and said, "It's okay, go ahead."
Qi Jinghao left without looking back. Chu Jingyao watched him leave quietly until his back disappeared from her sight.
"Mother..."
Qi Jingyin supported Chu Jingyao worriedly. She waved her hand and said, "Mother is fine. Let's go and rest. Yan'er, you should go back to the room too."
Qi Jingyan frowned and said, "Okay."
As soon as the concubine returned to the palace, she looked at the pinch marks on her neck in the mirror. Seeing that the pinch marks were very obvious, the concubine angrily swept the things on the dressing table to the ground.
"Bitch!"
The concubine said angrily: "I shouldn't have let you live this long. If I had known... if I had known..."
The maid was startled by her careless words and hurriedly stopped her, "My lady, be careful with your words. There are ears on the other side of the wall!"
There are other people in the room, and those things cannot be told.
The concubine looked at the palace maid kneeling and trembling on the floor, barely suppressing her anger. After dismissing her attendants, she said to her maid, "Those bandits didn't kill her, so let's try again!"
Her eyes were fierce, "I don't believe Chu Jingyao can be so lucky."
The maid advised: "Your Majesty, there is no need to take any further action. The Emperor will not tolerate Chu Jingyao and will definitely have her killed."
The concubine curled her lips, "Yes, Bei Chu has wicked ambitions. How could the emperor allow Bei Chu to support a prince with their bloodline to ascend to the throne?"
Eliminating Chu Jingyao and her mother and son is a good way to put an end to the problem once and for all.
Under the window outside the house, Qi Jinghao tried his best to control himself and not rush in to question the concubine.
It turned out that the group of bandits they met outside Qinghe County was instigated by her.
It turns out that my father has always wanted to get rid of my mother and my older brother and sister... This idea is not something that has only come up recently. My father had this plan even before my mother married into the Prince Su's Mansion.
Qi Jinghao tiptoed away from here and prepared to take Chu Jingyao and the other two out of the palace.
Get out of here as soon as possible!
…
It was a beautiful day, and the people of Youzhou were patrolling as needed and building infrastructure as needed. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.
The patrolling soldiers were walking back and forth as usual. When it was time to change shifts, they saw several carriages coming this way.
They immediately became alert: "Stop the carriage in front! Who are you? Where are you from?"
The scholar came out of the leading carriage and bowed to the soldier, saying, "Sir, we are here to seek refuge with Miss Shen Xunshen. Please help pass the message on."
As he spoke, he handed the soldier half of the jade pendant and said, "This is a token of trust. As long as Miss Shen Xun sees this, she will know."
The soldiers looked at each other and said, "You wait here, I will go and inform Miss Shen."
The scholar thanked him and watched the soldier go inside.
The strong man Tiezhu jumped down from the carriage and asked, "Aren't we looking for the eldest princess? Did you remember it wrongly?"
The scholar rolled his eyes at him, "Idiot, what do you know? Here, Miss Shen Xun is the one who calls the shots."
Tiezhu was so angry that veins popped out of his head. "You, you, you, what are you talking about! You are the idiot!"
Seeing that the war between the two was about to break out, their companions did not try to stop the fight, but instead ate melon seeds and watched the fun. The soldiers twitched their lips.
What an outrageous group of people.
"This half jade pendant..."
Shen Xun looked at the jade pendant carefully. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
Qi Yunxi came over to take a look, "Mom, is the word engraved here my 'Xi'?"
Shen Xun took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.
It’s just that the jade pendant was worn too badly, and the engraved words are not very clear.
She remembered that when she left Qinghe County, the girl gave her a bag that contained half of the jade pendant.
Chen Xun fiddled around in the space for a while, looking left and right, and it took him a long time to find the other half.
Taken together, they are indeed a pair.
When Chen Xun and his men arrived there, the war between the scholar and Tie Zhu was over. Both of them were injured and neither of them had a good outcome.
Qi Yunxi didn't dare to recognize him, "Are you a scholar? And you, are you... Tiezhu?"
The scholar and Tiezhu looked at each other, covered their disfigured faces, and said in unison, "No!"
Don't let the princess see their ugly faces!
Qi Yunxi: “…”
"Princess, I'm Hanyu, do you still remember me?"
A soft and sticky voice was heard, and Shusheng and Tiezhu only felt a dazzling light appear. He Hanyu and others appeared in front of Qi Yunxi in high spirits.
Compared to the two scholars who were disfigured and covered in dust, He Hanyu and the others were clean, with light makeup and lip balm on their faces, looking radiant.
Tiezhu swallowed hard and said to the scholar, "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
The scholar chuckled, "You just realized it?"
These shameless villains are clearly trying to steal the limelight!
Everyone knows that Princess Qi Yunxi loves beautiful women the most. Youzhou is the territory of the Princess' family. Whoever can win the Princess's favor can live a good life in Youzhou without worries about food and drink.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
Tiezhu was horrified, "I forgot about this!"
We agreed to live off each other's powerful people, why are you guys playing tricks on me?
Sure enough, Qi Yunxi's eyes lit up again and again. She ran over quickly and took He Hanyu's hand. In He Hanyu's shy smile, Qi Yunxi couldn't wait to say:
"Great! Finally someone is here to farm!"
The smile on He Hanyu's face froze. "Princess, what are you talking about? What about farming?"
Didn’t the scholar say that they came to Youzhou to enjoy themselves?
Qi Yunxi pointed to the mountains and forests behind him and said, "Youzhou is a vast territory, and we are so few in number. It's great that you can come and open up new land together!"
He Hanyu: “…”
Scholar!
Come out and explain, isn’t it said that Youzhou is more prosperous than the capital and Qinghe County?
