Chapter 181 For the Secret Letter
A quarter of an hour ago, at Tongfu Inn.
In the guest room.
After Shangguan Yao undressed Qin Junyi, she began to take off her earrings and the pearl flowers on her temples in front of the dressing table. She could see from the bronze mirror that Qin Junyi's eyes had changed slightly when he looked at her since they came to this inn.
When she stood up and left the dressing table, Qin Junyi came up.
"Yao'er, how come nothing happened to you from Bian Jing to this Guancheng?" Qin Junyi asked softly.
Shangguan Yao asked with a smile: "What should I do?"
Qin Junyi's suspicions grew. He took a step back, staring at Shangguan Yao with a cold look in his eyes. "You've always been fragile. Even I couldn't stand the long journey from Bianjing to Guancheng. How come you act like nothing happened?"
Shangguan Yao took a step forward, grabbed Qin Junyi's collar with one hand, and said with a smile: "Junyi, how do you know that I'm fine?"
From the moment she left Bian Jing, Shangguan Yao had no intention of pretending anymore. The secret letter that Emperor Ren De asked Qin Junyi to give to Shangguan Yan had already fallen into her hands.
If King Wei had not instructed her to meet General Feng, she would never have been dealing with Qin Junyi for so long.
Sure enough, Qin Junyi's pupils shrank slightly after seeing the look in the woman's eyes.
Shangguan Yao pushed Qin Junyi away and laughed, "What are you doubting?"
"You are not Yao'er." A chill spread from the soles of Qin Junyi's feet to the center of his forehead: "Who are you?!"
Shangguan Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Qin Junyi: "Everyone says that the young marquis of the Qin family is extremely intelligent. It seems that your mother deceived others in order to get you to get close to the prince."
"Who are you!?" Qin Junyi heard a voice that was completely different from Shangguan Yao's. He stepped forward with a cold face and grabbed Shangguan Yao's shoulders with both hands: "You are not Yao'er, who are you? Where is my Yao'er!?"
Shangguan Yao looked at the man with a ferocious face so close to her, and disgust flashed in her eyes. She grabbed Qin Junyi's right wrist with her backhand and twisted it quickly and forcefully.
Qin Junyi groaned in pain, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Shangguan Yao twisted Qin Junyi's wrist tightly and sneered, "I have been by your side for so long in your place, your Yao'er must have been reduced to a pile of bones long ago."
"What did you say?" Qin Junyi's face was filled with disbelief. "Who are you? Why did you kill her?"
Shangguan Yao forcefully shook off Qin Junyi's hand. Qin Junyi lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground. He then lunged towards Shangguan Yao, "Who are you?"
After thinking of something, Qin Junyi's face changed drastically: "For the secret letter?"
This time, Shangguan Yao grabbed Qin Junyi's throat directly, her eyes full of murderous intent: "If it weren't for the fact that you still have some use, I would have wanted to kill you the moment I got the secret letter."
Qin Junyi had never imagined that a woman could be so strong. The pain and suffocation in his throat made him feel confused about the woman in front of him.
Just when Qin Junyi felt he was about to suffocate, his throat suddenly loosened and he began to breathe heavily and gasp for air.
But in the next moment, his whole body fell stiffly to the ground, with a tiny silver needle inserted into his solar plexus.
Shangguan Yao took out a small silver needle and inserted it into her hair.
Looking at Qin Junyi who had fainted, Shangguan Yao turned and walked towards the wooden box brought from Bian Jing.
——
Outside Tongfu Inn.
When Xiao Huaiyuan heard Sun Song's voice, he immediately got out of the carriage. After seeing Shangguan Yao changed into light clothes, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"How could that young marquis allow his woman to go out alone in this unfamiliar place?"
Sun Song raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to follow?"
Xiao Huaiyuan thought for a moment: "No need, Chang Feng asked us to keep an eye on that wimp, so we just keep an eye on that wimp, anyway this woman will come back to this inn."
"That's true." Sun Song nodded. "What do you think the Xie family's head family was thinking, actually letting their eldest daughter marry such a thing?"
Xiao Huaiyuan snorted and laughed: "It's all for the sake of consolidating one's position. Fortunately, Second Uncle is not Changfeng's uncle."
Sun Song smiled and said, "Boy, I think you just want to marry Rong Li."
"So what?" Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile.
The two chatted casually and even went to a noodle stall not far away to eat noodles, but their eyes never left Tongfu Inn.
Until the sun set, the woman who left Tongfulou never came back.
Qin Junyi did not leave Tongfu Inn either, and the two of them felt something was wrong.
Xiao Huaiyuan got out of the carriage and said, "It's really a ghost. Let's go in and take a look."
Sun Song also jumped off the carriage, and the two of them walked towards Tongfu Inn.
When he entered the inn, the waiter came to greet him. Before he could say anything, Xiao Huaiyuan said, "Looking for someone."
Seeing that Xiao Huaiyuan looked unhappy, the waiter did not ask any more questions and said politely, "Please come in, sirs."
As Xiao Huaiyuan and Sun Song walked towards the second floor, Sun Song said, "It's the second room on the left."
When the two of them walked to the door of the room, they knocked on it first.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Xiao Huaiyuan and Sun Song looked at each other, and then they pushed open the door directly.
After walking in, I saw Qin Junyi lying on the ground near the bed.
"What's going on?" Sun Song walked forward, squatted down, and just as he was about to pat Qin Junyi's cheek, he saw a small silver needle on Qin Junyi's solar plexus. After removing the needle, he stood up and said to Xiao Huaiyuan, "Huaiyuan, look."
Xiao Huaiyuan had just taken the silver needle from Sun Song's hand when he heard Qin Junyi, who was lying on the ground, make a slight sound.
Seeing this, Sun Song used the light from the room to watch Qin Junyi open his eyes and immediately helped him up: "Young Marquis Qin, what happened to you?"
Qin Junyi stood up with the help of Sun Song, rubbing his solar plexus, but took a deep breath in pain.
"Young Marquis Qin, are you alright?" Xiao Huaiyuan put away the needle and continued, "We originally wanted to invite you to the lobby downstairs for dinner. We knocked on the door and there was no response, so we came in without permission and saw you collapsed. Did something happen?"
Qin Junyi then remembered that the fake Shangguan Yao had taken away the secret letter. When he was about to speak, he remembered that it was a secret letter given to Shangguan Yan by Emperor Ren De, so it was not easy to say it out loud.
He could only grit his teeth and say, "Did you see the woman who came with me when you came in?"
Sun Song looked at Xiao Huaiyuan, who shook his head. Sun Song then said, "No."
Qin Junyi's eyes flashed with panic, and he said, "I want to go see my father. I'd like to trouble you two to take me to the military camp."
