"Do you know Prince An?" Gu Qingtong pushed Qin Chong's hand away. Seeing Qin Chong's instantly stiff face, Gu Qingtong's heart suddenly turned cold. With trembling lips, he said, "Do you really know Prince An? What have you done to offend Prince An?"
"The Master and Madam you usually refer to are... Prince An and Princess An?" Qin Chong said with a grim expression.
"Yes, it's them." Gu Qingtong's face also turned bad, "Have you really done anything to let down the master and the mistress?"
"Can you take me to see the master and the mistress?" Qin Chong asked after a pause.
"Okay. I'll take you there," Gu Qingtong nodded after a while. He got off the bed, paused, and then said to Qin Chong with his back to him, "Qin Chong, if you really did something to let down the master and the mistress, make amends if you can, but if you can't..."
"So what?" Qin Chong looked at Gu Qingtong's slender back. His eyes were filled with panic and helplessness that could not be concealed. "Are you going to... drive me away? Don't you want me anymore?"
"I will ask Master and Madam for mercy. Spare your life, and then I will take you back to Ningguta. We will never leave Ningguta again in this life, and we will never get involved in trouble again." Gu Qingtong said slowly, word by word, "Qin Chong, don't worry. I will keep my word and will not ignore you. You can't go back on your promise to me."
“Okay, I won’t change my mind.” Those panicked eyes suddenly became wet, and then they curved, with fine lines appearing at the corners of the eyes. “God has finally given me a chance, and I will hold on to it until I die.”
"Come on, I'll take you to see the Master and the Madam."
"Why!"
At that moment, Gu Qingtong helped Qin Lu get out of bed.
…
When Qin Chong and Gu Qingtong arrived at the next guest room, Zhong Mingwei, Mei Ya and the others had already finished their breakfast and changed their clothes. They were discussing Qin Chong's matter. Only Chen Qingxuan was sitting by the window without saying a word. At this time, seeing Gu Qingtong helping Qin Chong in, everyone fell silent for a moment and looked at Qin Chong in unison.
"Qin Chong, the son of the guilty minister Qin Lu, greets His Highness and the Princess!" Qin Chong walked in front of Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed as he spoke, "Qin Chong apologizes to His Highness and the Princess on behalf of my father!"
As he spoke, Qin Chong kowtowed three times. When he raised his head again, his forehead was a glaring red. His face was already pale, and his forehead looked even redder. It was quite creepy to look at.
"You keep saying that you want Dai Qinlu to apologize to me, so you must know what crime Qinlu has committed?" Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice.
"Qin Chong didn't know at first, but just over two months ago, Qin Chong found out," Qin Chong said slowly. He knelt straight, facing Zhong Mingwei, but lowered his head because it was difficult to speak. "When I was twelve years old, I was forcibly taken to Southern Xinjiang by General Xu Chengjin, the Southern General. At that time, I didn't want to be separated from my parents, but my parents were against the Xu family. As a result, as soon as I arrived in Southern Xinjiang, Xu Chengjin fed me the secret medicine of Southern Xinjiang, and I became addicted to it. Xu Chengjin used this to threaten my father to obey his orders. I don’t know what the Xu family asked my father to do for Empress Dowager Yu and the Xu family behind her, but I know that my father must have had a hard time being caught between the Xu family and His Majesty, so I have been patient and prepared to spend my whole life in Southern Xinjiang and never reunite with my parents. It was not until last year when the Prince of Pingxi suddenly returned to the capital and Xu Chengjin’s rebellion was suppressed that I finally saw hope of returning to the capital. But before I could even set off, I was abducted from Southern Xinjiang to the capital.”
