Qin Wan glared at Xie Qing: "Who knew that because of you, I would end up on the guillotine!"
In the previous life, this was indeed the case. Xie Qingben had little contact with the Qin family, but in the end, Marquis Xuanwu and his eldest son were regarded as accomplices of the prince's rebellion and their heads and bodies were separated. It was really unfair.
Xie Qing's lips, which had originally curled up because she said she had no friendship with Lu Yan, quickly lowered their corners upon hearing this. He quickly apologized, "It's my fault for causing trouble for your grandfather."
He hurriedly explained, fearing that she would become disgusted with him again: "But the downfall of your Qin family was not my fault."
"I know," Qin Wan said, her eyes piercing with anger, wishing she could kill him. "But it's no different from attacking you! You absolutely have no idea how much the Bai family has done outside of your name. She only cuts off all ties with you in front of others, but uses the name of the Crown Prince to do business outside. She's taken away so much business from my Qin family. She's dealing with me openly, but secretly targeting my various businesses."
"My uncle, brother-in-law and sister-in-law worked so hard that they eventually destroyed our family."
"You think this has nothing to do with you directly. Yet, you are deeply implicated in it."
Xie Qing finally understood the whole story, and many puzzles from his previous life became clear. He had always wondered, how could the Qin family's huge business suddenly disappear without a trace?
He quickly apologized again: "It's my fault, it's my fault."
Qin Wan glanced at him sideways. She didn't have time to chat with him at the moment. The two of them talked about their next plan again: "After returning to the capital, do you plan to return to the palace first or send someone to attack the Fifth Prince first?"
The prefect of Shenyang is the maiden family of the fifth prince's biological mother, Rupin, so naturally he also stands on the side of the fifth prince.
In the previous life, the prefect Shen Yang was only reprimanded, but it was not a serious matter.
Qin Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "If we don't have a foolproof plan and can't hit the target with one strike, I'm afraid the Fifth Prince and his followers will definitely make a comeback."
Xie Qing smiled and said calmly, "Every failure is a learning experience. I paid the price with my life, so how could I have made such a serious mistake?"
"Don't worry. This time the evidence is solid. In my previous life, I returned to the capital as soon as the assassination attempt began. I didn't even have a chance to confront the assassin, so Prefect Shenyang was able to get away with it. This time, I returned injured and had several assassins captured alive. Father will definitely not let him go."
Qin Wan was surprised: "They were able to capture the assassin alive? Aren't these all deadly warriors?"
Xie Qing sneered, "They can even train assassins? Then I'll look up to them. These assassins have been sent to the capital at full speed. When I return, I'll take them directly to the palace!"
Going to the palace is naturally not just going before the emperor.
Instead, he went directly to the grand court meeting.
Qin Wan was extremely surprised: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to force a fight?"
The word "hard fight" was also learned from Bai Wanyi, and naturally, Xie Qing also understood it.
He smiled, carefree and unrestrained: "So what? As long as we can achieve our goals, it's not excessive to use some means. As my father, the emperor, I am not afraid of seeing brothers killing each other, but he is afraid that the Great Zhou will have no successor."
This Qin Wan cannot be commented on.
But it is true that the current emperor cannot be considered a good person. He is not a good master to his subjects, let alone a good father. But to the people of the Great Zhou, he is a good emperor, and everything he does is for the Great Zhou.
Otherwise, if he was so suspicious, the Qin family would have been uprooted by him long ago.
It's true that the Qin family also disliked the emperor. If it weren't for his paranoia, the Qin family would have been even more prosperous.
The two chatted all the way, from their previous life to this life, talking about everything under the sun, without getting tired.
The two men did not dare to show their faces except within the territory of Huzhou Prefecture, fearing that they would attract more assassins, and they headed north along the path without daring to stop.
At night, Xizhao Town, Zhaojiazhuang.
Glass shop.
The night watchman heard a knock on the door and opened it to see two beggars in ragged clothes. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you..."
He wanted to ask for something to eat, but seeing that the two of them didn't look alike, he changed his tone: "Are you in trouble? Please come in quickly."
Qin Wan showed her token: "It's me."
"Miss?" The waiter recognized the token and looked at Qin Wan carefully. He didn't know how long it had been since she had washed. Her hair was tangled together and her face was so dirty that her original appearance could not be seen clearly. Now, looking at her in the moonlight, it seemed that she was really his lady.
The waiter quickly opened the door and welcomed the person in: "Miss, what's wrong?"
As a clerk in the glass shop, he was not qualified to know secrets, such as the disappearance of his young lady.
Of course, he didn't know that there were spies watching the glass shop. When two strange people appeared at the door, the spies immediately reported it to their master.
Qin Wan naturally had no idea that her shop had been targeted. She supported Xie Qing as they walked inside. "We had an accident on our way out. Please prepare some water and medicine for us. And don't call a doctor."
"Don't call a doctor?" The clerk wondered, but he gave up the idea of calling a doctor. Even so, he still went to the clothing store and bought two new sets of clothes. How could his daughter wear other people's clothes?
There is always fire in the glass shop, and there is plenty of hot water, especially medicine for injuries.
The place is not big, with only a rest area and a kitchen.
The two of them took turns to take a shower and change into their newly bought clothes. The food was also served.
It was the first time the two of them had a proper hot meal after walking for so long.
After eating, the dishes were cleared away.
Xie Qing looked at Qin Wan: "Let me see your injury."
Qin Wan was surprised: "Didn't the injury heal a long time ago?"
Xie Qing rolled up his trouser legs, revealing the wound that was already oozing pus: "We didn't change the dressing or clean the wound along the way, and it's already in this state. If you don't feel any pain, I'm afraid the wound has worsened."
Qin Wan looked at the wound on his leg, which was also an arrow wound. The circular wound should have healed long ago, but now it was hideous and horrible, and a foul stench filled her nose.
She hurriedly looked for medicine everywhere: "This needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise if you continue like this, you may need amputation!"
Xie Qing waved his hand: "The most I can do is amputate. Your injury is on the back of your shoulder. If it gets worse, I'm afraid you'll die. Come and let me take a look."
Xie Qing forcefully pulled Qin Wan over, took off her clothes, and exposed her wounds.
Qin Wan didn't feel any pain at first. She couldn't see or touch the wound, and she didn't wash it carefully when she washed it. She thought it had healed, so she didn't apply medicine. Now that she saw the wound, Xie Qing felt distressed: "Fortunately, it hasn't worsened seriously."
Xie Qing used fire to sterilize the dagger and said softly, "The rotten flesh of the wound needs to be cut out. I'm afraid it will leave a scar."
"Let it leave a scar." Qin Wan didn't care.
Xie Qing's hands were shaking, and he was reluctant to strike, but he couldn't bear it now. His eyes suddenly became firm, and he grabbed Qin Wan's shoulder and stabbed her. The pain made Qin Wan's forehead sweat. When she almost fainted, she heard Xie Qing say something in her ear. She woke up with a start and turned to look at him in shock: "What did you say?"
