Su Qingli was kidnapped
However, because she was Fu Xuechen's concubine, she dared not hide her whereabouts from him.
Thinking of this, Su Qingli felt aggrieved.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Qingzhu noticed Su Qingli was in a daze and saw that she didn't look very good.
"I'm fine. Drink this bowl of medicine soup. No scars should be left on your body." Su Qingli then remembered that she was decocting medicine, and hurriedly poured out the medicine soup and brought it to Qingzhu.
"Miss, even if I have a scar, I will cover it up. It's not a big deal. Why bother with you?" Qingzhu didn't want Su Qingli to waste money on her. Even if the injury was a scar, she would never show it to others.
"You were injured for me. I can't just do nothing. I bought this with my own money. Don't waste it." Su Qingli pushed the medicine bowl and signaled Qingzhu to drink it.
She also took into consideration that Qingzhu would get married in the future. Outsiders would not be able to see it, but the closest people would be able to see it, so the wedding night required them to be completely sincere with each other.
Qingzhu couldn't refuse, Su Qingli spent the money and prepared the medicine soup herself.
She finally gulped down the bitter medicine and said, "I've finished it. Miss, please don't waste money on me anymore."
"Qingzhu, go back to your room and sleep. It's time for me to go to bed. I have to teach the Qi Mansion class until Xiaoxiang and the others finish embroidering. It will take a long time to finish embroidering hundreds of sachets."
Even if there was an extra red jade, it would be impossible to make all the sachets in three to five days.
The master and servant went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, Su Qingli went to Qi Mansion to teach as usual.
"Sister Jiang, Grandfather said that today's class is cancelled. We have to go to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager. Today is her birthday."
When Qi Caiyao talked about going to the palace, her eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Sister Jiang, come with us to the palace to broaden your horizons. The palace is so magnificent that I guarantee you will never forget it." Qi Mian wanted to invite Su Qingli to go to the palace with them to broaden her horizons.
Ordinary people would probably never be able to enter the palace in their lifetime. It was thanks to the Queen that the Qi family was able to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
"Caiyao, Mian'er, the palace has strict rules. Miss Jiang doesn't understand them. Have you forgotten what happened with the Prime Minister last time?"
Qi Jinqian was pushed by the servants into the conversation of several people to help Su Qingli out of the predicament.
"Thank you for your understanding, Sixth Young Master. I have never been to the palace and I don't know what the rules are. I am afraid that I might offend the nobles in the palace if I am not careful."
Su Qingli made excuses to refuse. It was because she went to the palace every year and there was a 90% chance that she would run into old acquaintances among the dignitaries. So she couldn't go.
"Sixth uncle is right. That Prime Minister is attending the Empress Dowager's birthday party. Sister Jiang should avoid him. He holds grudges and will never let go of anything."
Qi Caiyao agreed with Qi Jinqian's words. As a curious child, she had heard all kinds of rumors about Fu Xuechen from her friends from time to time.
Fu Xuechen's cold-blooded and ruthless image was deeply imprinted in Qi Caiyao's mind. Even her grandfather couldn't beat him, so it's better not to provoke him, the private tutor.
"Miss Qi, the Second Miss, knows me well. Last time, I angered the Prime Minister in the Qi Mansion. If I really follow you into the palace this time, I'm afraid we'll meet again..."
Su Qingli touched her chest with pretended fear and sighed.
"Then Sister Jiang, please don't come with us. The Prime Minister is too scary, like a living devil, and he doesn't look friendly at all."
Qi Mian had met Fu Xuechen at his house last time. Even his sixth uncle had to treat him with courtesy, but this man was serious and radiated an overbearing and cold temperament.
"Miss Jiang, I'm really sorry to have made you come here for nothing today. You can go home now. The tuition will be included as usual." Qi Jinqian bowed and apologized sincerely.
Su Qingli did not refuse. The Qi family had always been very generous. Even if she refused, Qi Jinqian would give her the same amount of tuition, saying that it was to thank her for her good teaching and being an excellent tutor.
After leaving Qi Mansion, Su Qingli went to find Xiaoxiang and check on the progress of the sachet.
"Miss Jiang, this is Miss Hongyu's husband, Mr. Cheng. He's here to take Miss Hongyu home."
Xiaoxiang introduced the man in green shirt next to Hongyu to Su Qingli.
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I'm Cheng's courtesy. I heard that you are the female tutor of the Qi Mansion. I have heard of you for a long time!" Cheng Nianshan walked over with a smile on his face and bowed to greet her.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Su Qingli had no intention of paying attention to the strange man. She turned to Xiaoxiang and said, "I'm going to the toilet and will come to accompany you later."
However, after Su Qingli finished urinating and just walked out of the toilet, she was hit by a stick and fell to the ground unconscious.
I don't know how long it took before she woke up.
It was pitch black in front of Su Qingli's eyes. Although her eyes were covered, she still had a pair of sensitive ears that could identify the location by sound.
Two people held Su Qingli on the left and right and led them into an underground dark room.
A unique fragrance wafted into Su Qingli's nostrils. She wrinkled her small and delicate white nose and memorized the smell.
After she was brought in, she heard the sound of the door closing and locking, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually moving away. She took off the blindfold and saw her surroundings clearly.
The place we were in was a dark room, but the room was elegantly decorated and livable, and the furnishings and structure were truly pleasing to the eye.
But she didn't come here to enjoy herself. Every moment she stayed here would increase the risk. She was actually afraid that the murderer would attack her.
To avoid any further complications, the safest thing to do is to escape as soon as possible.
"Someone, come, take me to see your leader. I have something important to say to him." Su Qingli knocked on the door anxiously. She wanted to take this opportunity to escape. Saving her life was the most important thing.
The guard outside the door replied impatiently, "Stinky bitch, stop making noise, can't you just be quiet?"
Su Qingli remained calm in the face of the insults from outside, and sarcastically provoked the guard, "I'm a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. Are you afraid that I'll run away?"
"Who's afraid that you'll run away?" The burly man was furious. He turned the key to open the door and grabbed Su Qingli's wrist fiercely.
Before the cell door was opened, one of the strong man's fingers was broken and fell to the ground by a sharp weapon. A short blade fell with it, and his scream of pain was deafening.
The situation happened unexpectedly. Su Qingli was terrified and stared at the person who was walking towards her slowly with her eyes open.
"Miss Su, this is the leader you are looking for."
Fu Xuechen grabbed Cheng Nianshan's collar as easily as if he were lifting a chicken, and pushed him so hard that he staggered.
The man stumbled against the cell door where Su Qingli was imprisoned, groaning in pain.
"Master Prime Minister, why are you here? Shouldn't you be attending a banquet in the palace right now?"
Su Qingli was puzzled. She hadn't seen Fu Xuechen for several days, but he actually showed up at her critical moment.
