Chapter 348 In a Dream
Qin Xixi rubbed her eyes, not being able to see the scene clearly.
"Ouch... my head hurts. Where is this? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
Qin Xixi was still half asleep and half awake, but she saw her second brother walk out of the door in front of her the next second.
Not long after, her eldest brother also came here.
Qin Xixi was so happy that she rushed forward to rush towards her eldest and second brothers, but she didn't expect that she was just a spirit and couldn't touch her eldest and second brothers here at all. Qin Xixi realized that she was dreaming.
She saw that her eldest and second brothers frowned slightly, and the surroundings looked like a banquet. Qin Xixi held her head and thought about it, and soon realized that this should be a banquet hosted by Zhao Zemo.
"It seems that the eldest brother and the second brother went to Zhao Zemo's banquet together to check the situation."
Qin Xixi continued to watch, but found that the woman Zhao Zemo brought out the next moment was Wen Yanya.
Even Qin Xixi was surprised, let alone Qin Qixuan. Qin Xixi hurriedly looked at his eldest brother, fearing that Qin Qixuan would not be able to help but take action.
Qin Qixuan's fist was about to burst, and he was very hard to bear it.
At this time, he was still rational, knowing that the Qin family could not afford to offend the Jinnan Palace, and the matter of rescuing Wen Yanya still needed long-term consideration. Qin Xixi was somewhat relieved, and continued to watch, but found that Zhao Zemo actually ordered Wen Yanya to toast everyone.
"Oh my God, how dare Zhao Zemo? Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he is the prince? Sister Wen obviously doesn't like him, can he force a commoner girl to stay at home just because he has power?"
Qin Xixi was angry, and Qin Qixuan was almost unable to bear it at this time.
Wen Yanya frowned, unwilling to say a word to Zhao Zemo. Zhao Zemo asked her to toast, which clearly showed that he treated her as a treasure in his hand. Wen Yanya is a lady of the Wen family after all, and has been treated as a treasure by her family since she was a child.
Zhao Zemo's attitude is just to humiliate Wen Yanya in front of everyone and ruin Wen Yanya's reputation. Wen Yanya would rather die than let Zhao Zemo succeed.
But she can't die yet, Qin Qixuan is still waiting for her. Wen Yanya pursed her lips and said nothing, and did not listen to Zhao Zemo's words to go to toast.
When had Zhao Zemo been disobeyed like this before? He immediately got angry and made a move on Wen Yanya. Wen Yanya didn't want Zhao Zemo to touch her, so she began to resist fiercely.
Who at the banquet dared to speak out? Even if they spoke out, they were all on Zhao Zemo's side.
"Hey, what's wrong with this girl? After all, following Mr. Zhao will bring you good food and drink."
"Mr. Zhao is a handsome man, Miss Wen, you are still marrying up to Mr. Zhao, don't be upset."
Those people who cling to power, one after another, all want to curry favor with Zhao Zemo. Even if some people in the crowd couldn't stand it, most of them didn't dare to say anything because of Zhao Zemo's power.
At this time, Qin Qixuan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and punched Zhao Zemo in the face.
"Oh!"
Qin Xixi thought to herself that it was not good. If big brother did this, Zhao Zemo would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate.
However, Zhao Zemo had bullied Sister Wen to this extent. If big brother didn't stand up and take Sister Wen away, he would be too unmanly.
It's just...
Qin Xixi was worried in her heart. Qin Qixuan had already taken Wen Yanya away from the banquet in her dream.
But after a while, the scene in the dream changed. Qin Xixi came to the Qin Mansion again, and Wen Yanya was trembling in Qin Qixuan's arms. Qin Qixuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Soon, Zhao Zemo came with his men, arrested Qin Qixuan, and locked him up in jail.
Qin Xixi screamed and woke up from her dream.
[Oh my God, my brother is about to be caught by Zhao Zemo, please don't.]
Qin Xixi did not doubt the reality of the dream at all. After all, according to my brother's character, if Sister Wen was teased by Zhao Zemo, he would not be able to bear it. Moreover, Zhao Zemo was deeply favored by the King of Jinnan, who even the emperor had to give way to. He did have the right to put my brother in jail.
Qin Xixi was very anxious, thinking of all possible ways to help my brother escape. But the maid thought Qin Xixi was having a nightmare, and patted her back and coaxed her to continue sleeping.
"Don't be afraid, miss, it's all just a nightmare."
Qin Xixi couldn't sleep anymore. She thought carefully in her mind, and after thinking about it, the only ones who could save them were the eldest princess and Pei Xuanyi.
But the eldest princess is very busy now, and she has a close relationship with the Qin family. If I trouble the eldest princess for help again, I'm afraid the emperor will be dissatisfied.
Qin Xixi thought about this and wanted to find Pei Xuanyi.
[The identity of the Qin family cannot offend Zhao Zemo, let alone the Jinnan Palace. But if it is the little grandson of the emperor, he can definitely save the eldest brother from Zhao Zemo. And the little grandson of the emperor is so kind, he will definitely help us. 】
The maid understood that Qin Xixi wanted to look for the little grandson, so she quickly dressed her and took her out.
During the New Year period, the Qin Mansion had much fewer restrictions on Qin Xixi, so Qin Xixi could go out with the maid and the guards without reporting.
At this time, Pei Xuanyi was busy in his own mansion.
The last incident of the poisonous snake in the palace has not yet ended, and all the clues point to the Miao people.
Although Pei Xuanyi did not believe that the Miao people wanted to participate in the coup in the palace, the clues were here. Pei Xuanyi continued to follow the clues and investigate.
The complexity of this is beyond words, so Pei Xuanyi has been very busy these days.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, the emperor suddenly began to favor Concubine An these days. In the past, Concubine An and Concubine Shu received almost equal favors. The emperor did not clearly express his preference for one, nor did he stay in the same bedroom for several consecutive days. He always maintained a situation where Concubine Shu and Concubine An were in a state of confrontation.
But now the emperor obviously favors Concubine An, which has led to complaints in the harem.
Logically, the affairs of the emperor's harem should not be interfered by the little grandson, but he did think that there was something wrong with this matter. Moreover, the emperor handed over most of the affairs in the court to Pei Xuanyi to deal with, but he himself enjoyed himself in the harem and spent most of his time with Concubine An.
Pei Xuanyi had no free time at all during this period. He was either investigating the affairs of the Miao people or reviewing memorials in the court. When he had time, he also had to worry about the emperor's health.
However, even though Pei Xuanyi was already so busy, when he heard that Qin Xixi was coming, he still put aside all the things in his hands and went to meet Qin Xixi.
