Chapter 537 Hidden Deeply
Qin Shousheng came back to his senses from the brink of death and hurriedly shouted to Zhuifeng, "Help, help! Someone is trying to assassinate an imperial official. Please save me! I will pay you back with real money."
Zhuifeng raised his leg and kicked Qin Shousheng, "You are a corrupt official who abuses his power and disregards human life. Who cares about your real money?"
Chen Qingqing felt relieved when she saw that the people who came were not here to rescue Qin Shousheng. "Who are you? Can you really clear my name and arrest the real murderer? And punish this corrupt official who took bribes, perverted the law, and took human lives?"
"Of course. Anyone who dares to slander my savior deserves death."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in dark clothes walked in from behind.
His face was as firm as a knife, his eyebrows were sharp, revealing a fierce aura, and he exuded a majestic air.
When Chen Qingqing heard the voice, she was stunned at first. When she saw the person's appearance clearly, she was shocked.
"Xiaoyu, why is it you?"
The person who came was none other than Xiaoyu, the man Chen Qingqing rescued in Wild Wolf Valley.
How did Xiaoyu suddenly come here? Let me start from the beginning.
Xiaoyu is Chu Jiuqing, the Ning Wang of the Great Ning Dynasty. Ever since he was plotted against by the Crown Prince and was seriously injured, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, causing speculation from all parties in Kyoto.
For a time, rumors spread everywhere. Some said that he was seriously ill, and some said that he had already died in a foreign land.
At that time, the Western Moon Kingdom and the Northern Yi Kingdom had long coveted the territory of the Great Ning Dynasty, but they were afraid of the reputation of King Ning and did not dare to act rashly.
When they heard that Prince Ning's whereabouts were unknown, they began to make moves at the border, trying to invade the territory of the Great Ning Dynasty.
The situation was extremely critical, and Chu Jiuqing had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye and return to Kyoto...
When Chu Jiuqing returned to Kyoto, it undoubtedly gave a reassurance to the wavering forces.
The Western Yue Kingdom and the Northern Yi Kingdom did not dare to act recklessly and withdrew from the border one after another. Later, they sent envoys to pay tribute to show their submission.
Just as Chu Jiuqing was about to investigate the Anyang salt transport incident, the emperor suddenly fell ill.
Fearing that the prince would take advantage of the situation, he had no choice but to stay in Kyoto.
I thought the emperor just had a common cold and would recover soon.
But who would have thought that the emperor's condition was getting worse day by day, and he could hardly hold on any longer.
The imperial doctors diagnosed the emperor's illness as a result of overwork, but they could not find the specific cause. They were helpless and could only report the situation to Prince Ning.
Chu Jiuqing heard the news and realized the seriousness of the matter.
If the emperor dies, Crown Prince Chu Jinxuan will naturally inherit the throne.
In order to consolidate the imperial power, the prince will definitely abolish his military power and then kill everyone.
By then, neighboring countries will surely invade Da Ning, the world will be in chaos and the people will suffer. He will never allow this to happen!
When he was at his wit's end, he suddenly thought of Chen Qingqing, who was a skilled doctor and might be able to cure the emperor's illness.
Having made up his mind, Chu Jiuqing deployed his Dragon Shadow Secret Guards to every corner of the palace to prevent any unexpected events.
He planned to go to Anyang in person, but before he could leave, he received a letter from a spy lurking in Anyang via carrier pigeon.
He said that his savior Chen Qingqing was framed and thrown into jail.
Chu Jiuqing was shocked when he heard the news.
He knew the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay even a little. He led a group of people and rode as fast as he could towards Anyang.
Kyoto and Anyang were thousands of miles apart. He was so eager to save people that he traveled almost day and night.
Running day and night, several horses were exhausted to death!
The journey that would normally take more than a month was completed in just ten days.
As soon as he saw Chen Qingqing, Chu Jiuqing hurried forward and looked her up and down, his eyes full of concern. He suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"My benefactor, I'm late."
Chen Qingqing was both surprised and puzzled by Chu Jiuqing's sudden appearance, but judging from the group of people who came, this person must be from an extraordinary background. Seeing him calling her benefactor, it was obvious that he had drawn a clear line between them.
He must have come here to ask for something, which was good. A man of noble status was not someone a small farmer like her could get close to.
Chen Qingqing understood and smiled faintly, "Not too late, not too late, you came just in time. I just don't know if you can clear my name and help me deal with these evil people."
Chu Jiuqing pressed the corner of his mouth and said, "My benefactor, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt you and your family."
"Okay, okay, in that case, it means that I didn't save you in vain. I saved you once, you saved me once, and we are even now." Chen Qingqing deliberately made her words clear, and her meaning was very clear. She didn't want to have anything to do with him.
This girl hasn't changed at all and still doesn't suffer any loss.
Chu Jiuqing suppressed the smile in his eyes and said, "My benefactor, how can we even be even? You only saved my life, but I was able to save your entire family, and I could also help you clear your grievances and prevent you from wandering around the world. No matter how you look at it, I am the one who suffers the loss."
Seeing him being so calculating, Chen Qingqing coughed twice and said, "Alright, I owe you a favor. Tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you when I think about it."
Chu Jiuqing finished speaking and waved his hand towards Zhuifeng, "Come here, take Qin Shousheng and the others to the prison and keep them under strict guard."
"As you command," Zhuifeng agreed, waved to dozens of men in black, and locked Qin Shousheng and others in jail.
Chen Zhanshan looked at the majestic Chu Jiuqing and found it hard to connect him with his silly appearance before. He couldn't help but ask, "You, are you really Xiaoyu?"
"Who are you? How could you have the right to put the county magistrate in jail?" Lin looked at him with a questioning look.
Chen Qingqing stared at Chu Jiuqing. She was also very curious about who she had saved and who had been able to leave behind the token of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Seeing Zhuifeng's respect for him, Chen Qingqing had a vague feeling that she had indeed saved a great man.
After being dragged by several black-clad guards, Qin Shousheng finally recovered from his shock. He looked at the man in front of him clearly and knelt down and kowtowed.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Ning. This family is trying to escape from prison. You have arrived just in time. Quickly apprehend them."
A terrifying coldness appeared in Chu Jiuqing's eyes. "The thief is crying thief, don't think I don't know how many evil things you have done. If you don't want to die now, shut up!"
Qin Shousheng was so frightened that his neck shrank. He dared not say anything and obediently followed Zhuifeng into the cell.
Chen Zhanshan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Prince Ning, you, you are Prince Ning?"
Sun was also stunned and stood there, speechless.
Chen Qingqing was very calm, because she had guessed it long ago, "Xiaoyu, no, His Royal Highness Prince Ning hid it very well. He actually pretended to be crazy and fooled us all."
