Chapter 60
The courtyard of Courtyard No. 2 was also carefully designed by the master. Unlike Courtyard No. 3 which has only lawns and trees, there is a fountain in the front yard and a lake in the back yard, which are staggered and there is also a small pavilion for people to rest. It is not impolite even to use it to receive guests.
After coming out of the house, Tian Xiao and Gu Cheng stayed in the pavilion.
But Ji Qingqing obeyed Su Yin's words and insisted on standing at the door waiting without moving an inch. Xiao Zhang had no choice but to watch over her.
Ever since Gu Cheng saw Ji Qingqing, his eyes would occasionally glance at her. After looking at her for a long while, he tilted his head and asked Tian Xiao hesitantly, "She is... Ji Qingqing, right?"
This big star used to be on the hot search every other day, and with the various scandals that broke out later, it was hard not to know about him.
"That's her name. She's a patient in Hospital No. 1. This is the first time I've met her." Tian Xiao replied in a low voice.
Gu Cheng: "No wonder there was no news later." It turned out that he was admitted to a mental hospital.
It didn't take long before Su Yin came out. When she came out, she was telling Gu Qian'an about her previous meetings with Fu Yan, focusing on how she watched Fu Yan become more normal step by step than when they first met.
After saying that, she sighed, "I don't know what a normal Fu Yan is like, but he was able to fight with Xie Lingxu just now, so he's obviously still not normal."
"Actually, Mr. Fu was being beaten unilaterally just now." Gu Qian said weakly.
Su Yin became increasingly helpless. "That's an even bigger problem. He got beaten up by me when we first met, and now he's getting beaten up by Xie Lingxu. It seems like not only has the illness not gotten better, it's getting worse."
Gu Qian'an silently lit a candle for President Fu in his heart.
As soon as the two stepped out of the door, they heard Ji Qingqing's surprised and lingering call.
"emperor!"
Su Yin just remembered that there was a mess outside.
In order to prevent the embarrassing situation from happening again, she asked Gu Qian'an to wait in the pavilion first.
Su Yin didn't rush to deal with Ji Qingqing. She waved to Xiao Zhang first and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Miss Qingqing said she wanted to see you, but I didn't keep an eye on her and she ran away secretly." Xiao Zhang also knew that he was in trouble this time and couldn't stop apologizing.
Ji Qingqing had never taken the initiative to step out of Yard No. 1 before, so he was never on guard. He didn't expect that today she not only sneaked out for Su Yin, but also climbed over the wall into Yard No. 2.
Xiao Zhang bowed ninety degrees, "I'm sorry, Young Master. I shouldn't have told Miss Qingqing that you were in Courtyard No. 2."
Su Yin waved her hand.
I climbed over the wall in the same way back then, and not only broke into Courtyard No. 2, but also broke into Courtyard No. 1. How could I possibly blame others for this?
Besides, Ji Qingqing climbed over the wall because of me.
She was just a little troubled by the current situation, but since it was already like this, there was no point in thinking about anything else.
Su Yin turned to look at Ji Qingqing who was standing by obediently, "Why do you want to see me?"
Two blushes rose on Ji Qingqing's cheeks. "I miss you so much that I'm sick. I can't help myself."
She also did not forget to plead for Xiao Zhang: "Your Majesty, please do not blame Xiao Zhangzi. It was my own decision. It has nothing to do with him. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone."
As she spoke, Ji Qingqing stretched out a finger and gently tapped Su Yin's collarbone. Her voice sounded like a small hook, and her eyes were as charming as silk.
Is this a serious punishment?
Su Yin couldn't understand it and was greatly shocked.
She took three steps back and pushed the helpless Xiao Zhang out. "I don't blame him. I'll punish you if I have to."
"The emperor loves to tease me." Ji Qingqing stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.
Su Yin was silent for a while. "Last time it was the king, this time it's the emperor. Your identity is quite changeable."
Xiao Zhang explained, "This time it's another palace drama starring Miss Qingqing, about palace fighting."
"She..." Su Yin had never dealt with a mortal emperor in her previous life, but when she saw Ji Qingqing's expression, she wondered, "Can she fight against him?"
"Miss Qingqing wasn't famous at that time, and she played a cannon fodder villain."
Su Yin: No wonder...
Normally, they should go out now, but the situation on Fu Yan's side is unclear, so she took Ji Qingqing and Xiao Zhang to the pavilion, ready to wait for Xie Lingxu to come out.
As soon as he walked in, Gu Cheng stepped forward and extended his hand to Ji Qingqing with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet a big star here. Miss Ji, I'm your fan. Can you sign an autograph for me?"
His hand stretched out in front of her eyes, and Ji Qingqing, who had been quiet and well-behaved, suddenly screamed and slapped the hand away.
"Where did this lunatic come from? Little Zhang, protect me! Protect me!"
She used her thin body to block Su Yin and kicked Gu Cheng, screaming as she kicked—
"Assassin! There's an assassin!"
Gu Cheng had never expected this development. He was kicked in the crotch by her without warning. He screamed in pain and fell to his knees.
He knelt down, and Ji Qingqing calmed down.
She turned around and made a sincere and firm remonstration: "Your Majesty, he is a traitor and a traitor who has the intention of harming the country. He must not be allowed to stay!"
Ji Qingqing completed the entire play by herself. After she finished all this, the stunned Tian Xiao finally reacted and pulled Gu Cheng up.
She did not forget to defend herself: "Young Master, Ah Cheng is not an assassin, Ah Cheng is not a traitor!"
Gu Cheng was in so much pain that he couldn't even straighten his back. The pulling force on his arm became more and more annoying. He felt very uncomfortable and shook off the hand that was in the way.
Tian Xiao was thrown to the ground and sat down.
The whole audience was silent for a second.
"Assassin! I said he was an assassin!" Ji Qingqing shouted, ran over to pull Tian Xiao up, and then ran back with the man in her arms.
"Your Majesty, such a person with evil intentions must not be allowed to stay, Your Majesty!"
Su Yin laughed, "Then my beloved, what should we do?"
"Give me a hundred scars!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my beloved concubine." Su Yin instructed Xiao Zhang, "Xiao Zhang, why don't you drag him away and torture him?"
He lowered his voice and ordered, "Drag him to Courtyard No. 5."
Xiao Zhang half-bent down in a serious manner, "Hey!"
After saying that, he stepped forward, firmly grasped Gu Cheng's hands with his arms, and half-supported and half-forced him to his feet, dragging him out.
Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly: "A bunch of lunatics."
"Acheng!" Tian Xiao seemed to have just reacted, calling out Gu Cheng and trying to pounce on him, but was stopped by Ji Qingqing.
Ji Qingqing looked thin, but she was very strong. She held Tian Xiao with both arms and didn't let her break free.
"Sister, you have to think carefully. He is a traitor. If you get involved with him, you will be exiled at best and your property confiscated at worst!"
She said earnestly, "Please ask the emperor for mercy. He is kind and will not vent his anger on you. Don't ruin yourself for a man with evil intentions!"
These words were both a warning and an exhortation. Ji Qingqing had the foresight to cover Tian Xiao's mouth, not giving her any chance to refute.
Tian Xiao whimpered and wanted to speak for Gu Cheng but couldn't open her mouth, so she could only shake her head desperately.
It was useless, Ji Qingqing just pretended not to see it.
After all the operations, Su Yin was shocked. She never thought that Ji Qingqing, who was ill, could do this.
She immediately applauded, her face full of satisfaction.
"Oh, Your Majesty~" Ji Qingqing smiled shyly, but still did not let go of the hand covering her mouth.
The atmosphere on the scene was unprecedentedly harmonious.
Xie Lingxu came to the pavilion at this time. He didn't look at Ji Qingqing and Tian Xiao who were in strange postures inside. His eyes were always on Su Yin.
Su Yin asked him, "How is he?"
"I can't die."
Su Yin: “……?”
"It was too stimulating. I didn't have any other reaction." Xie Lingxu didn't want to talk too much about irrelevant people, so he just mentioned it casually.
He ignored the other people in the pavilion and said to Su Yin, "There's nothing else to do. Let's go back."
Before Su Yin could answer, a voice from behind interrupted forcefully, "She's mine, where else do you want to take her back to?"
Fu Yan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared at the door and looked at the two of them with a serious look.
"My woman, you don't need to worry about it."
He was so imposing that he walked out alone, with the momentum of a mighty army.
Following behind was the assistant who looked hopeless.
Su Yin mouthed to the assistant: "Why did he come out?"
The assistant smiled bitterly and said, "It's so noisy outside, how can you not come out?"
Fu Yan came with great momentum, but Su Yin was not in a hurry. Without saying a word, he slightly turned sideways and gave the battlefield to Xie Lingxu.
Based on the last two experiences, she has nothing to do.
But she forgot that there was also Ji Qingqing this time.
Fu Yan had long legs and walked to the pavilion in just three or two steps. He glanced around and ignored the two women entangled with each other and the man squatting in the corner. He met the eyes of his rival Xie Lingxu accurately.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
As the two men confronted each other silently, Ji Qingqing, who had been ignored, suddenly released the hands that were restraining Tian Xiao.
She gently gathered her hair, then stepped back delicately, leaning on Su Yin's shoulder with incredible precision.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the general and the prime minister?" Ji Qingqing leaned on Su Yin's shoulder and cried, "They are so scary, Your Majesty."
Wait a minute, Su Yin was stunned for a moment. Who is the general? Who is the prime minister?
Fu Yan was not as forbearing as Xie Lingxu. When he saw Ji Qingqing getting close to Su Yin, he couldn't help but scold her: "You think you can touch her?"
"Listen carefully, this woman belongs to me from her hair to her toes. You have no right to covet her!"
"Alas--"
Facing the reprimand and warning, Ji Qingqing moved even closer, not forgetting to step on him again, "What a vulgar man."
She looked at Fu Yan with disgust, but acted obediently when facing Su Yin.
"Unlike me, I only feel sorry for the emperor~"
Fu Yan was indeed angered by her words, and even forgot about his long-time rival Xie Lingxu, and pointed his anger directly at Ji Qingqing.
His eyes were as cold as a blade tempered with ice. "Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Ji Qingqing was at ease, tapping Su Yin's shoulder with her nails, complaining and acting coquettishly, "Your Majesty, he is so scary! I am so scared!"
"Shameless thing, do you deserve her to look at you even once?"
"Your Majesty, he is cruel to me!"
Fu Yan laughed in anger, "Where's the bodyguard?! Hurry up and throw this guy who's harassing my wife out!"
"From today on, I don't want to see this woman in this place again!"
"Your Majesty! Did you hear that? He wants to seize power and usurp the throne!" Ji Qingqing took the opportunity to expose the traitor. "Such a traitor should be dragged out, sentenced to death by slicing, and his entire clan should be exterminated!"
"Just you?"
"lecher!"
At the end of the argument, both of them turned their heads at the same time.
"Your Majesty! Between me and this scoundrel, who do you choose?"
"Woman, between me and this madman, who do you choose?"
Faced with the questioning of the two people, Su Yin, who was at the center of the storm, took a step back.
She looked at Ji Qingqing, then at Fu Yan, remained silent for a while, and finally shouted - "Xie Lingxu!"
Xie Lingxu, who had been watching the fight behind her, raised the corner of his lips, paused with a meaningful look on Fu Yan and Ji Qingqing's faces, walked forward slowly, and protected Su Yin tightly behind him.
He looked directly at the two of them and said word by word, "She. Chooses. Me."
The two people who were arguing heatedly said in unison: "Oh, who are you!"
Even though Xie Lingxu usually didn't like to argue with others, he still spoke up at this moment, "He'll be her last choice."
The battlefield between the two people instantly turned into a three-way confrontation.
There was a surge of hostility between the three people, so naturally no one noticed that the person who was blocked secretly gave Gu Qian'an in the corner a look to retreat, and ran out of the yard stealthily.
Su Yin, who ran away secretly, had a simple idea: let them quarrel as they please, she would not accompany them.
After running out of Courtyard No. 2, Gu Qian'an, who had watched the whole show, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked up at the sky and sighed, "Young Master, it's not easy for you either."
If he were in the situation just now, he would have to kneel down before those three people. It was too scary.
Su Yin patted his shoulder as someone who had experienced this, "So this isn't just running away."
She had seen the men of Hehuan Sect fighting for beautiful women before, and she enjoyed watching it at the time. She didn't expect that with the passage of time, she would encounter such a thing.
The feeling of being in charge is really indescribable and I feel unworthy.
At this moment, in the yard, the people who were arguing finally discovered that Su Yin was missing.
At this moment, Ji Qingqing and Fu Yan, who were arguing just now, united their front in great harmony.
Ji: "Oh, choose you?"
Fu: "She obviously chose that pretty boy."
Xie Lingxu: "..."
