In the cell, everyone was slowly waking up.
Xu Qingyi stood in front of the empty cage.
The cage door was wide open. He stood there for a long time, slowly picking up a colorful bell on the ground with a far-reaching gaze.
…
"Girl, are you awake?"
When Gu Qingsheng woke up, he heard a woman's gentle voice beside his ear.
She slowly opened her eyes and turned to the side. A woman in her forties was standing beside her with a basin of water and a handkerchief in her hand.
The handkerchief was wet, and my head felt a little cool, as if it was being wiped by water.
The room was filled with the scent of herbs. After a long pause, Gu Qingsheng finally reacted and suddenly threw off the quilt and stood up.
"Where is this place?"
She frowned, and a sense of vigilance rose in her heart in an instant.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I wanted to go home last night, but I fainted for no apparent reason. Now I am in this unfamiliar environment and I can't help feeling a little helpless.
The woman saw through Gu Qingsheng's current vigilance and smiled kindly.
"Don't be afraid, girl, we are not bad people."
Her accent was a genuine Beijing accent, so she should be not far from the capital of Jinchu. After identifying it clearly, I didn't have to worry too much. Just as I was thinking about it, the woman handed a bowl of tea to Gu Qingsheng and wiped her hands.
"You can just call me Aunt Li. We are from Bianyu Village, north of Jinchu. You have been in a coma for three days since you arrived."
"mother!!"
Aunt Li was explaining to Gu Qingsheng when she suddenly heard a child's cry outside. A chubby child ran in and threw himself into Aunt Li's arms, his round eyes looking out for Gu Qingsheng who had just woken up.
Looking at this scene, Gu Qingsheng was confused for a long time.
"Xiaofu, don't run so fast."
Liu Yanqiu pushed the door open and saw Gu Qingsheng who had woken up. A look of joy immediately appeared on his face and he sat down on the couch.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Seeing Liu Yanqiu coming in, Aunt Li was very tactful and pulled Xiaofu away. Xiaofu was dragged along, and while walking, he looked back at Gu Qingsheng and Liu Yanqiu. He was still young, so his tone was also naive.
"Mother, is this sister Brother Yanqiu's wife?"
Both of them felt a little embarrassed when these words were spoken.
Liu Yanqiu raised his hand to scare Xiaofu
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank you!"
Aunt Li covered her mouth and smiled, then pulled Xiaofu
"You can't talk nonsense about this."
Pulling Xiaofu out of the door, Aunt Li was considerate enough to close the door for the two of them.
Liu Yanqiu scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed by Xiaofu's words.
"Don't mind the child because he can't speak."
"Nothing."
Gu Qingsheng shook his head and looked around the simple room.
"I remember that the villagers of Bianyu Village rarely go out and rarely communicate with the outside world. How did we end up here?"
"You look very familiar with Aunt Li and Xiaofu. Here..."
Aunt Li acted kindly. Liu Yanqiu was also there, so she started asking questions one after another and at the same time picked up the bowl of tea and drank it.
“I was born here.”
Liu Yanqiu replied
"Yesterday, the situation was critical. I acted too hastily and didn't consider you, which led to your coma. On the other hand, you were physically weak and tired recently, so it took you so long to recover."
"I wanted to take you to my nearest place...but..."
His face flushed, and his bright eyes looked away.
"After all, I'm a grown man and I don't know how to take care of others. I also thought this place is not far from the capital, so I brought you back."
Bianyu Village is equivalent to a village isolated from the outside world. Outsiders are not allowed to enter and villagers are not allowed to leave on weekdays. It seems that some important figures have emerged here, and even the emperor of the previous dynasty turned a blind eye to this situation.
Gu Qingsheng never imagined that this was where Liu Yanqiu grew up.
"I thought you were from Luofo Town, but I didn't expect you to be here. Doesn't Bianyu Village not allow outsiders to enter? Was Aunt Li your mother?"
"I……"
Liu Yanqiu saw Gu Qingsheng was about to get up, and immediately helped her up
"I grew up without parents and drifted to this place. I was adopted by the people of Bianyu Village. I grew up eating at many people's homes and have developed a bond with the people here. Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the day when people are allowed to return home, so they allowed me to bring you in."
fifteen……
This number made Gu Qingsheng's face change. He didn't care about the strength in his body and grabbed Liu Yanqiu.
"You mean, this village won't release people until the 15th? What about me?"
"What am I going to do when I get home?"
"Don't worry about that."
Liu Yanqiu comforted her
"News has come from Jinchu in the past two days that something big seems to have happened in the capital. The emperor is furious and seems to be searching for something. He has been investigating house by house and has uncovered countless dirty deeds, but many people are not implicated."
"That's why I brought you back. You're a fugitive, and the people of Jin and Chu are in a state of panic. You should stay out of the spotlight in Bianyu Village. Tell me about your family background, and I'll find out for you. Nothing should go wrong."
A typical case of shooting oneself in the foot.
Searching for something? Of course!
It must be me!
I asked Bai Lu to show Luo Zhaozhao the cause of Baolan's death and Baolan's finger that Zheng Xueyi had found with great difficulty. She was definitely upset and took a series of actions.
Isn't this just jumping into the river and committing suicide?
Even though she was like this, Chu Zhiyao was still unable to control the poisonous insect in his body, which would make Luo Zhaozhao hate him even more. According to Chu Zhiyao's character of enduring humiliation, if he loved Luo Zhaozhao enough now, he would be released from prison soon.
Who would have thought that Chu Zhiyao would come to beg him for help.
He disappeared with a bang.
"This is really bad luck."
Miao Lanlan said.
"The plot I worked so hard to set up was intercepted halfway through. What should we do now?"
What can I do? What else can I do?
Gu Qingsheng sighed
"The bureau won't run away. Seeing Luo Zhaozhao's collapse, I'm afraid Chu Zhiyao's insect is targeting her. As long as she doesn't resolve her hatred for Chu Zhiyao, we will always have the upper hand."
Liu Yanqiu was also doing this for his own good. He couldn't blame him. He just calmed down.
"Then let's come back on the fifteenth of next month. I'm sorry to bother Mr. Liu during this time."
In fact, this is not entirely a bad thing. A Princess Changle who was imprisoned and then cleared of her grievances would only make people sigh with pity.
However, if you were first thrown into prison and then kidnapped, facing life-threatening danger, and then returned weak and told that the previous injury was unjust, the consequences would be extremely serious.
Liu Yanqiu also helped him establish his impression in Jin and Chu.
"Yanqiu! The fishing boat is back!"
Aunt Li's excited voice rang out from outside.
"We've gained a lot this time!"
