Chapter 414: Breaking In
Qin Qixuan was like a machine that kept on talking, and every word was like a stone, constantly hitting Xiao Xixi's heart. Her originally clear eyes gradually became confused from the initial confusion, until the corners of her mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably, obviously she was already a little overwhelmed by his endless narration.
Just when the dagger in Qin Qixuan's hand was about to slip, as if to cut through the clothes on his chest and take the blood from his heart, Xiao Xixi suddenly woke up from a dream. She quickly reached out and tightly grasped Qin Qixuan's arm that was shaking with excitement, trying hard to stabilize him.
[Oh, my silly brother, does he think that I am willing to exchange his life for Zhao Shuo'er's life?]
Little Xixi was a little helpless and a little amused. Her brother usually looked very smart, but sometimes he was stubborn and couldn't think straight.
[It seems like my brother is missing a bone in his head!]
Qin Qixuan was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that Xixi had another way to take his heart blood? This heart blood, it sounds like taking a drop of blood from his heart. If this can be done without a dagger and without endangering his life, how should it be done?
Xixi moved her fingers slightly, and Beibei slipped out from her sleeve, and then climbed onto Qin Qixuan's clothes.
[Hey, Beibei, go and bite my poor brother. 】
Qin Qixuan suddenly realized that this was Xixi's method. Beibei was much more useful than a dagger to take the heart blood.
Qin Qixuan also knew of Beibei's existence. However, it was not until today that he truly witnessed Beibei's incredible magical ability. When Beibei bit his heart gently to take the heart blood, although he had doubts in his heart, he trusted Beibei more, or in other words, Qin Xixi. The bite did not bring the severe pain he imagined, but only a slight itching, which surprised him.
After completing the task, Beibei jumped off his body lightly, leaving Qin Qixuan with a bewildered look. He secretly sighed in his heart that it turned out to be so simple to obtain the heart blood, and all the psychological preparations he had made before now seemed a little redundant.
Little Xixi was standing aside, watching her elder brother's embarrassment, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless. She gently tugged at the eldest princess' sleeve, indicating that they should go and save Zhao Shuo'er. The eldest princess quickly understood what she meant. With Qin Qixuan's blood, Zhao Shuo'er had hope of being saved. She immediately ordered the guards to surround the room where Zhao Shuo'er was imprisoned, ready to rescue her.
Xixi was still a little angry, and secretly despised her elder brother in her heart.
[Oh, my elder brother is really stupid. He was afraid of ruining his reputation and making Wen Yanya sad because he was asked to save Zhao Shuo'er with his own body. But has he ever thought that if he died because of saving Zhao Shuo'er, Sister Wen would feel even more uncomfortable! ]
Qin Qixuan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He knew that he had not considered it carefully enough before. He only thought about saving people but ignored other possible consequences. At this moment, although he felt guilty, he was more grateful to Xixi and the princess. The situation was urgent and he really couldn't turn around.
However, although Xixi was angry at her elder brother's stupidity, she also understood that this was not the time to care about these things. Xixi just complained in her heart.
After a while, Xixi pulled the corner of Qin Qixuan's clothes and asked him seriously.
[If elder brother feels embarrassed and doesn't want to see Zhao Shuoer, he can just not see him. 】
Anyway, the blood of the heart has been obtained, Zhao Shuoer will definitely not die. Although Qin Qixuan is actually a little worried about Zhao Shuoer's situation, he still did not go with him in the end.
Qin Qixuan thought the same as the princess, he also did not want to have too much contact with Zhao Shuoer.
The princess expressed her understanding, so she very considerately arranged for Qin Qixuan to blend in with her subordinates and secretly leave the palace, as if he had not entered the palace today.
The news that Qin Qixuan came to the palace just now was also well concealed, and no one was informed.
In this way, whether Zhao Shuoer is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with him, Qin Qixuan.
After concealing Qin Qixuan's departure, the princess brought Xixi straight to Zhao Shuo'er's hiding place.
They had no intention of hiding, so Concubine An's people immediately noticed their whereabouts.
The eunuch who was keeping watch at the door hurriedly ran into the room and knelt down to inform Concubine An.
"It's not good, your majesty!" A breathless eunuch rushed into Concubine An's bedroom and shouted in panic.
"What's wrong? So panicked?" Concubine An frowned, her fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound, as if beating out a tense piece of music. Her eyes fell on the eunuch, with a bit of displeasure in her eyes.
"The princess and Qin Xixi came straight here. They... they seemed to have discovered that Zhao Shuo'er was here." The father-in-law's voice was trembling, and he was obviously very frightened.
Concubine An and Anyuesheng both showed surprised and panicked expressions.
"What's going on? How did the princess find this place so quickly?"
Although they originally wanted others to find out that Zhao Shuo'er and Anyuesheng were in collusion, they definitely wouldn't be found so quickly. Now Zhao Shuo'er couldn't help but come to ask them for detoxification.
Seeing that Concubine An and Anyuesheng were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Anyueya's eyes flashed with impatience, and she looked down on their temperaments.
Anyueya asked very calmly.
"Have you received any news about Qin Qixuan coming to the palace?"
An Yuesheng didn't understand why he asked about Qin Qixuan.
But then he figured it out. As long as Qin Qixuan didn't come to the palace, it didn't matter who Zhao Shuo'er was with. So they still needed to ask the An family to help find an antidote.
The eunuch shook his head quickly.
"The spies at the palace gate didn't hear any news about Qin Qixuan coming to the palace. He should still be in the Qin Mansion."
Hearing this, An Yueya breathed a sigh of relief. In that case, even if they found Zhao Shuo'er, they couldn't help her detoxify.
Moreover, An Yueya didn't believe they could know another way to cure the poison.
As long as the princess and the others want to detoxify Zhao Shuo'er without damaging her reputation, they must come to ask them for help.
Thinking of this, Anyueya sneered.
"Let's go."
Looking at her expression, she didn't seem to worry about the plan being exposed at all. As long as the princess and the others didn't want Zhao Shuo'er to die, they would definitely come to ask them for help. In this way, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Shuo'er is in their hands or not.
Thinking of this, Anyueya quickly slipped out through the back door with Concubine An and the others.
At the same time, the eldest princess and her guards broke into the house without any delay
