Chapter 302 Where is the Princess?
Ling Anli was already frightened when she heard that Qin Qingyao was going to drag her out to be displayed to the public. He even wanted to drag her in her wedding dress before the emperor. Wasn't this asking for her life?
Ling Anli no longer cared about the dignity of aristocrats and royal etiquette. He struggled and cried, "Brother Dugu, save me. I won't go to see the emperor. I won't go. Save me!"
“That’s enough!”
As Dugu Yu spoke, Wu Gang and the other three stopped at the same time, loosened their grip, and threw Ling Anli to the ground again.
"Everyone, get back!"
"yes!"
As Wu Gang and the others retreated, Qin Qingyao also turned and left. Bai Zhi trotted after her and whispered, "Princess, what are you going to do?"
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear the prince tell you to leave?"
After she finished speaking, Xin'er retreated quietly.
In an instant, the only people left in the huge courtyard were Dugu Yu, who was at a loss, and Ling Anli, who was shivering and crying with disheveled hair.
Dugu Yu looked around, and faced with the mess in front of him, his mood was really hard to describe, "Come, send the princess back."
"No! No, Brother Dugu, please don't send me back. I can't go back. If I go back now, my father will definitely beat me to death. Please!"
Ling Anli pitifully tugged at Dugu Yu's clothes, with disheveled hair and a messy body, and a purple-red slap mark on her face.
If she goes back like this, not to mention whether Prince Yi would beat her to death, they will definitely not let Qin Qingyao, who bullied the princess like this, go. Then there will be trouble between the two palaces!
Dugu Yu hated trouble, especially the trouble in interpersonal relationships.
So, he made a decision that he would later regret to the point of wanting to stab himself to death. "Let's take the princess to the guest room to rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow!"
"yes!"
When Zhao Jinghan found Qin Qingyao, she was in the garden, cutting off the few chrysanthemums that had not withered in the cold wind and tying them into a small bouquet.
"princess."
"What's up?"
"The prince arranged for Princess Anli to stay in the guest room."
"oh."
"The prince said he would send her back tomorrow. The princess wasn't feeling well today. The prince might have kept her because..."
"Jinghan, do you know what it means to invite a god but it's hard to send him away? Although she came uninvited and isn't a god, she is definitely a piece of dog-skin plaster that is evolving into 502!"
Zhao Jinghan didn't know what 502 was, but he knew what a dog-skin plaster was.
Qin Qingyao asked Ling Anli to kneel down and serve tea today, but she didn't leave. She pinched her neck, slapped her, pulled off her hair crown, and kicked her down the stairs, but she didn't leave. Why should she leave tomorrow?
Is it up to Dugu Yu to have a proper discussion with her?
Qin Qingyao knew that although Dugu Yu had always had a bad reputation, deep down in his heart, he was actually a very kind and generous person.
Otherwise, when she first got married, he should have just thrown her into the small yard and locked her up. Why did he let her trick him into compromising again and again? Even though he was almost annoyed with her, he still gave her a chance to love him.
But now, Qin Qingyao suddenly disliked his kindness and magnanimity, because that meant that he was destined to be unable to deal with Ling Anli.
A person who can disregard his family, dignity and even life and death is completely shameless, skinless, has no bottom line and no way out. How can Dugu Yu deal with such a person?
Qin Qingyao cut nine chrysanthemums, put on a cloak and went out by herself. She did not let anyone follow her, nor did she take a carriage.
She just wanted to be alone today and take a walk.
After Dugu Yu had Ling Anli taken away, he returned to his study and held a book for a long time but couldn't concentrate on reading anything. He was obviously a person who liked quietness, but the quietness in the study at this time made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He pushed the door open and saw Zhao Jinghan standing guard at the door.
"Where is the princess?"
"Leaving the house."
"Out? When did you leave? Where did you go?"
"It's been an incense stick of time since I left, and the princess hasn't told me where she's going."
Today is the seventh day after the death of the old lady. The only thing Dugu Yu can think of is that she might go to the Yang family to pay homage to the old lady. But thinking of Madam Yang's attitude towards her...
Dugu Yu couldn't explain his mood. He would never admit that he was worried about Qin Qingyao even for a little bit.
It was the seventh day after the old lady's death, so he should have gone to pay his respects. However, when he arrived at the Yang family's house, he found that Qin Qingyao had never been there.
On the way from the palace to the old lady's tomb, Qin Qingyao kept thinking about what to say to the old lady, how to quickly forget the unhappiness and smile at her.
But when the tall, cold tombstone appeared in her sight, Qin Qingyao's tears instantly burst out.
"Look, old lady, these are the chrysanthemums blooming in my garden. Are they beautiful?"
"Do you remember that we agreed to go to my house to see the camellia? Maybe in two months, when spring comes, it will bloom. Then I'll bring it to you to see, okay?"
"That idiot Dugu Yu was poisoned and lost his memory. You should have seen how stupid he is now and laughed at him with me!"
"But don't worry, I'll take good care of him, I promise!"
"Come to think of it, I almost killed someone today. Haha, I wasn't scared at all. I really wanted to kill her."
"Before, I was stupid, cowardly, afraid of death, and selfish. I thought that once I left here, all the troubles would have nothing to do with me."
"But it wasn't until you fell into my arms that I realized how foolish it was to escape! I won't be so foolish anymore. I want to make sure all those who want me dead die before me!"
"Mo Dacheng has surrendered himself, and the Cangshan Sect no longer exists. I don't know if you care about this, but I still want to tell you."
"As for the real murderer behind this, Lin Xiafeng, I will personally send her to hell! Old Madam, you must watch over me in heaven!"
Qin Qingyao still had a lot to say, but she heard voices from afar. It should be people from the Yang family coming, and it seemed that Dugu Yu was also there?
She was too embarrassed to see General Yang now. She didn't want to upset Madam Yang, nor did she want to see Dugu Yu! She kowtowed to the old lady and went down the mountain from another path.
Dugu Yu did come with the Yang family. Seeing that there was no one in front of the old lady's tomb, he couldn't help but feel restless. Where did Qin Qingyao go?
Instead, Yang Tingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, the princess was here just now. She must have left after hearing we were coming."
Dugu Yu, "How do you know?"
Yang Tingxiao pointed to the bouquet of flowers placed in front of the tombstone and said, "Look, no one would send flowers to grandma except the princess."
Everyone from the Yang family, even the children, agreed with Yang Tingxiao's words, but Dugu Yu knew nothing about it.
He didn't know the tacit understanding between Qin Qingyao and the old lady, and he didn't understand Qin Qingyao.
Seeing that Dugu Yu was obviously confused but still pretending to understand, Yang Tingxiao shook his head helplessly, feeling indescribable.
This man is really too calm and tolerant. On the first day of losing his memory, he was able to calmly appear in the old lady's funeral hall, and everything he did was so normal.
If Zhao Jinghan hadn't told him in person, even he wouldn't have been able to tell that the prince had just lost his memory for more than a year!
It is really hard for the princess to marry such a man.
Yang Tingxiao knelt in front of the tombstone and burned paper money for the old lady while saying, "Grandma loved the princess very much."
"When you and the princess got married, grandma cared more about you than anyone else. For your sake, she even went to the emperor to ask him to allow you to marry Qin Qingyao with the highest etiquette for a royal prince to marry his wife."
"That wedding truly caused a sensation throughout Yulin City. You even went to the palace to kowtow to the Emperor and Empress."
"But who knows what you did on the day when the princess returned home for the third time? Not only did you not accompany her home, but you even accompanied the sixth daughter of the Lin family to dinner and shopping, and even sent her home."
"You made a fool of the Qin family and the princess by throwing her face on the ground and stepping on it with Lin Xiafeng."
"The princess was generous and didn't take it to heart, but grandma felt that she had been so active in arranging this marriage and was really sorry for the girl. She was so angry that she refused to eat or drink and was bedridden."
"When our whole family was at a loss, you brought the princess to see the old lady. When the princess came, she was holding a large bunch of roses in various colors, blooming very brightly. She picked them from the garden of your palace."
"The princess is truly a thoughtful person. With just a few words, she made the old lady burst into laughter and soon got her out of bed."
"The old lady was very happy that day and even invited you to have dinner at her home."
"After that, you and the princess often came to visit the old lady. The princess never brought her anything particularly valuable. She liked to send flowers and food. Sometimes it was wild vegetables she dug herself, and sometimes it was game you caught when you went out."
"When the old lady received those things, she was a hundred times happier than receiving any precious treasures."
"Later, when the old concubine of Prince Yi's mansion celebrated her birthday, you left her in the snow and went to pick up Lin Xiafeng yourself."
"No matter how cold the princess was, she bought Lin Xiafeng a precious animal skin cloak, making her shine among a group of young ladies from official families."
Dugu Yu's frown deepened. Yang Tingxiao smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe it? You've done much more than this."
"That day, in front of everyone in Prince Yi's mansion, all the guests, including my old lady and the Qin family, you took out the token of your marriage to the princess and gave it to Princess Anli!"
Dugu Yu, “…”
"Who could do such a ruthless thing? The Qin family was humiliated and immediately left Prince Yi's residence with the princess. Even then, the princess was still speaking for you, saying you didn't mean it."
Dugu Yu, "What happened next?"
