Qin Peng was completely stunned when he saw Zhao Yu running towards him.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand, but Qin Shuhuai grabbed her and said coldly, "He arranged two hundred people to surround us at the door. Did you know that?"
As he spoke, Zhao Yu suddenly jumped towards the carriage and grabbed the carriage board. The carriage was running very fast and Zhao Yu was dragged forward, but he insisted on holding the carriage and refused to let go. Qin Peng could no longer care about it and reached out to pull Zhao Yu, screaming: "Stop! Stop the carriage!"
Qin Shuhuai grabbed Qin Peng and said to Zhao Yu coldly: "Let go!"
Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said nothing. His hands kept sliding down as the carriage accelerated, and he held on desperately. The carriage dragged him forward, and his wounds were severely opened, bleeding.
However, he never let go, and blood spilled all over the ground, looking particularly horrifying in the moonlight.
Qin Peng could no longer bear it and attacked Qin Shuhuai fiercely. Qin Shuhuai grabbed her wrist and slashed at Zhao Yu at the same time. Qin Peng raised her foot and kicked Qin Shuhuai on the elbow. Qin Shuhuai threw Qin Peng into the car and kicked Zhao Yu at the same time.
"Be careful of Qin Shuhuai!!"
Zhao Yu was kicked away by the force. He struggled to get up from the ground, staggered after the carriage, and roared.
He moved very slowly, and blood was oozing from the wound on his abdomen. He covered the wound and used all his strength to move forward with difficulty.
"He wrote the letter! He poisoned me!"
He roared, and Qin Shuhuai's face turned pale. He said to Qin Peng who was struggling with him: "It's not me!"
Qin Peng didn't say anything. She was held by Qin Shuhuai and gritted her teeth and said, "Let me go!"
"No," Qin Shuhuai said coldly, "You have to go back to Xuanjing with me."
"Qin Shuhuai!" Qin Peng couldn't bear it anymore and raised his voice: "I promised you that I would go back, but you always said I didn't believe you, did you ever believe me?!"
"I believe you," Qin Shuhuai twisted her hand behind her back and said calmly, "But I don't believe Zhao Yu. If you go to Beiyan, will he let you come back?!"
Qin Peng said nothing and struggled desperately. Qin Shuhuai took out a rope from the drawer beside the carriage and quickly tied Qin Peng's hands. Qin Peng kicked and bit him, but he ignored her. Qin Peng bit his thigh with great force, but he seemed to feel nothing and let her do whatever she wanted.
She got angry, and thinking of Zhao Yu limping after the carriage, she bit him hard, blood overflowing from her mouth. Qin Shuhuai tied her up and bowed his head and said, "Let go!"
Qin Peng didn't say anything. The carriage was shaking, and every shake made Qin Shuhuai feel more pain.
He frowned and looked at Qin Peng lying on top of him, feeling angry and helpless. He said coldly in pain, "Let go!"
Qin Peng refused to let go, and Qin Shuhuai finally roared out: "Qin Peng!"
Qin Peng knew that Qin Shuhuai was serious and she really couldn't bite off any more. She didn't even think about really biting off a piece of meat, so she finally opened her mouth.
Qin Shuhuai poured some water from the side and handed it to her to rinse her mouth. She gulped down a mouthful of water, spit it out, and said coldly, "Let me go back."
"Don't you ask what happened?"
"If you don't ask in front of Yu, won't you be able to say what is right or wrong?"
Qin Peng sneered: "The wine I drank before I passed out was yours. In the end, you were the one who took me away and Ayu was chasing me. I had already promised him that I would go to Beiyan. Ayu had no reason to do anything. Qin Shuhuai, are you telling me that Ayu was planning to kill me?"
Qin Shuhuai said nothing.
In fact, if Zhao Yu had not noticed his intention to attack and planned to strike first, Zhao Yu really had no reason to attack. Qin Peng wanted to believe that Zhao Yu would kill her. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, no one would believe that their loved ones would kill them.
"You gave him the only trust you ever had in your life."
Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but smile bitterly, with bitterness and sarcasm in his tone.
Qin Peng didn't say anything. After a moment, she slowly said, "I gave it to you before."
"Now?"
Qin Shuhuai looked at her quietly. Qin Peng pursed his lips and said, "Let me go back. I'll go make sure Ayu is okay. I'll believe you."
"Then don't believe it." Qin Shuhuai laughed out loud: "We went through so much trouble to get out, do you think I will let you go back?"
"Qin Shuhuai," Qin Peng leaned against the wall of the carriage and said sarcastically, "You said that if I went to Beiyan, Ayu would not let me come back. What's the difference between you now and the Zhao Yu you are worried about? Shouldn't it be my choice where I go?"
Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything, he lowered his eyes.
How could he not understand what Qin Peng said?
But people have always been like this. Zhao Yu, who never got it, was still obsessed with it, let alone him who had lost it and then found it again?
Jiang Chun drove all the way to a city far away from the border. The three of them did not inform the local government. Qin Shuhuai and Jiang Chun took Qin Peng directly to live in an inn. Jiang Chun went to get some medicine and found a doctor. He checked the injuries of Qin Peng and Qin Shuhuai and confirmed that Qin Peng was fine and Qin Shuhuai only had some external injuries. He left some medicine for bandaging the external injuries and let the doctor go.
Then Jiang Chun began to contact Zhao Yi and Lu You. Zhao Yi and Lu You were still in Xucheng. Jiang Chun sent them a message and waited at the inn.
Qin Shuhuai didn't dare to let Qin Peng go, so he kept guarding him day and night. Qin Peng was never someone who would mistreat him, even if he was angry with Qin Shuhuai, he would still make sure he had good food and drink and was well provided for.
Qin Shuhuai fed her and brought her water every day. A few days later, when Zhao Yi and Lu You came to visit, Lu You saw Qin Peng lying on the couch, and the first thing he said was: "Princess, why are you fat?"
Qin Peng: “…”
Zhao Yi hurriedly said, "The princess has been recuperating for a few days. She is in better spirits and looks radiant."
Qin Peng didn't say anything. He drank a mouthful of the bird's nest that Qin Shuhuai fed him and said calmly, "Lu You, you were also a guard. How come none of the secret guards can speak?"
Lu You was choked by Qin Peng, touched his nose, and stepped aside.
Lu You and Zhao Yi came with their guards, and Wei Yan already knew about their affairs. Qin Shuhuai handed Qin Peng the memorial written by Wei Yan to be reported to the court. Qin Peng understood that Zhao Yu had sent two hundred people to ambush outside the tent, and then Qin Shuhuai also sent a hundred people to ambush outside. Later, Zhao Yu trapped the people inside, and Qin Shuhuai's men fought with Zhao Yu's men. Wei Yan noticed it and rescued them in time, but by then Qin Shuhuai had already run away with Qin Peng.
Zhao Yu was seriously injured and evacuated that night.
Wei Yan was a little worried about this matter, and asked Qin Peng and Qin Shuhuai whether the peace talks had failed and whether he needed to prepare immediately for the next battle.
This letter made Qin Peng believe Qin Shuhuai to some extent, but she still had doubts in her heart. Zhao Yu ambushed 200 people, and Qin Shuhuai ambushed 100 people. Both families were actually preparing to take action, so who took the first step?
If it was Zhao Yu, why did Zhao Yu take action? She had clearly promised him to go to Beiyan with him.
If Zhao Yu didn't do it to take her back to Beiyan, then what was his plan? He followed me and Qin Shuhuai closely.
And the last thing he said was...
He knew about the existence of the letter, and he also knew that he was poisoned. He had been preventing Qin Shuhuai from getting close to her, so Qin Shuhuai...
Qin Peng paused her thoughts. She didn't want to think too much until further evidence became clear.
After everyone gathered, they returned to Xuanjing together.
Qin Peng was concerned about Zhao Yu, but he did not dare to ask too much about Zhao Yu openly, so he could only let Lu You investigate privately.
However, Zhao Yu's situation was a secret of Northern Yan, and Lu You couldn't find out anything, so Qin Peng could only feel worried.
Qin Shuhuai saw her absent-minded look, and he guessed what was on her mind. He lowered his voice while feeding her, "He's fine now."
Qin Peng said nothing.
She no longer talks to Qin Shuhuai. When Qin Shuhuai feeds her, she eats. If Qin Shuhuai wants to lie on the bed, then he lies.
She acted as if this man didn't exist and was in a cold war with him.
Qin Shuhuai felt upset, but he also understood that Qin Peng had been extremely tolerant to this point, so he could only coax him in a gentle manner and accompany him.
When they arrived in Xuanjing, Qin Shuhuai said to Qin Peng: "If you don't live here, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Peng jumped off the carriage and said to Lu You, "Let's go back home."
Qin Shuhuai hurriedly said: "Pengpeng, I'll take you back."
Qin Peng ignored Qin Shuhuai, asked Lu You to find a carriage, and stood by the roadside waiting for Lu You to find a carriage. Qin Shuhuai stood with Qin Peng and whispered: "Don't be angry with me, you have been angry all the way, how do you want to calm down, tell me..."
"Prince?"
While Qin Shuhuai was talking, a familiar voice sounded. Qin Shuhuai and Qin Peng turned around at the same time and saw Liu Shiyun gracefully walking down from the carriage.
Liu Shiyun's eyes were filled with joy: "The prince has returned to the capital?"
Her call of "Prince" made everyone look over. Qin Shuhuai's face turned cold and he turned his head away, pretending not to know her. Qin Peng would think of Liu Shuyan when she saw her. She didn't know where to put Liu Shuyan. However, when she thought of this person, she always felt that if it wasn't for some strange coincidence, that person was a very good person.
So she returned this warmth to Liu Shiyun, and fearing that she would be embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Miss Liu."
Qin Shuhuai had embarrassed Liu Shiyun in this way, and Liu Shiyun was embarrassed at first, but Qin Peng came to the rescue. Liu Shiyun was not ignorant, so she nodded, walked down the steps, saluted to Qin Peng and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has also returned to the capital?"
"Um."
Qin Peng nodded and started chatting with Liu Shiyun casually. While they were talking, Lu You drove over in a carriage and stopped in front of Qin Peng. Qin Peng smiled apologetically at Liu Shiyun, said goodbye and got on the carriage.
During the whole process, she acted as if Qin Shuhuai didn't exist. Qin Shuhuai couldn't hold back any longer, and as soon as Qin Peng got on the carriage, he wanted to get on too. As he was still stepping on the steps to get on the carriage, Qin Peng suddenly turned around and flicked his wide sleeves!
The wide sleeves brought with them a wind as sharp as a blade, forcing Qin Shuhuai to flip over and fall down from the stairs. Then Qin Peng said, "Let's go," and Lu You drove the carriage away sensibly.
Qin Shuhuai's face was not looking good. Jiang Chun stepped forward hesitantly and whispered, "Prince, you should go back and make trouble. It will be embarrassing to do it in front of so many people."
Qin Shuhuai said nothing, pursed his lips, and finally got on the carriage.
Liu Shiyun smiled as she watched Qin Shuhuai get on the carriage. As soon as Qin Shuhuai left, her expression turned cold and she turned around and said, "Let's go into the palace."
The beginning of August was still the height of summer for the Southern Qi Dynasty. Li Shu sat in the waterside pavilion, reclining and eating grapes, watching Qin Ming copying his calligraphy. She said to Zhang Ying, who was staring at Qin Ming, "Although the emperor is not a great calligrapher, he still needs to have good calligraphy. The calligraphy is like a person's face. Many court officials don't see the emperor on weekdays, so when they see the calligraphy, they think about the emperor. The calligraphy should not only be beautiful, but also majestic and powerful. Master Zhang, don't you agree?"
Zhang Ying lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Ming's calligraphy. His usually serious face took on an indescribable gentleness.
"You have a point, but His Majesty is still young and his wrist strength is not strong enough. Isn't it too much to ask him to copy 200 calligraphy works in one night?"
"Not much," Li Shu ate a grape and said with a smile, "Compared to your time, how can it be considered a lot? Don't you think so?"
