Chapter 186: Unrest in the Prime Minister's Residence
Su Xinxin was startled and held her breath involuntarily, pulling Su Qianqian's cloak. The two girls behind her were so nervous that they dared not breathe.
Hiding behind the rockery, Su Qianqian saw through the cracks in the stone a man dressed as a servant, hurriedly walking forward along the curved corridor, looking around vigilantly from time to time.
At this time, Qiu Shi, who was originally sitting on the chair, had collapsed to the ground, pressing his chest with his hands in pain, his eyes bulged out and his eyeballs were bloodshot.
I actually encountered a murder scene!
This place is actually secluded and quiet. Su Qianqian is a person with poor directions, and it was Su Mu who found this place after listening to her description. He indeed didn't see anyone else coming here along the way.
At this time, most of the guests were with the hosts. The young ladies were improving their relationship with Xue Zhiqing, while the young men were choosing which Miss Xue to show their affection to.
Su Qianqian and Su Xinxin took advantage of this loophole and found a paradise, but ended up accidentally breaking into a murder scene.
Seeing that the man was walking away, Su Qianqian hurriedly pulled Su Xinxin and was about to run, but suddenly stopped and looked back.
Although Qiu Shi was not a likable person, his crime did not deserve the death penalty. The guest who came to the banquet died in the backyard with wounds all over his body, and Prime Minister Xue could not escape the blame.
[Since he is my mother-in-law’s childhood sweetheart, I should at least go and take a look. Perhaps I can accumulate merit. Su Qianqian persuaded herself, stomped her feet and went back to the curved corridor.
Qiu Shi was lying on the ground with his whole face blue and purple. He was clutching his clothes with both hands as if tearing them. He was dying. It seemed that he had been hit in the heart area, causing blunt trauma to the heart and making it difficult to breathe.
Without saying more, Su Qianqian pretended to take out a quick-acting heart-saving pill from her arms, but actually took it out from the space and stuffed it into Qiu Shi's mouth. She then used her sleeves and cloak to cover up and quietly injected an injection of adrenaline into Qiu Shi's arm, completely trying to save the situation.
Someone hurried over in the front yard. Su Qianqian pulled Su Xinxin and quickly got up. They simply climbed over the fence of the curved corridor and hid behind the rockery.
The two girls were so scared and out of breath from running that they covered their mouths tightly for fear of making any noise.
The people who came were a servant and the court doctor. They ran into the curved corridor and came to the Chrysanthemum Garden. They saw Qiu Shi lying on the ground. After pulling open his clothes, the court doctor's hands trembled: This man has been to the gates of hell. He is going to be beaten to death for all kinds of grudges and hatreds!
The court doctor hurriedly used silver needles for acupuncture, piercing more than a dozen acupoints, and then took out pills from the medicine box and fed them to Qiu Shi. After doing all this, the servants brought a sedan chair, carefully lifted Qiu Shi on it and sent him to the front yard.
"Huh..." Several people exhaled at the same time.
"Aning, why do I always encounter new and interesting things when I'm with you?" Su Xinxin stood up and rubbed her numb legs, saying with a smile.
"I'm scared to death. Maybe I have a physique that attracts bad luck." Su Qianqian began to doubt herself. How unlucky must she be to encounter such a thing as traveling through a book.
"Madam Wuning, you have a point."
Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded, and Su Qianqian was so scared that she grabbed Su Xinxin and ran away. As a result, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her head hit something hard and elastic. Su Qianqian took several steps back in a daze.
A bony hand grasped her arm and held her steady.
Su Qianqian followed his hand and saw clearly that the person in front of her was actually Prince Ping.
"Prince Ping, how dare you be so unreasonable!" Su Xinxin shouted angrily, and pushed away Prince Ping's hand that was supporting Su Qianqian, pulled Su Qianqian behind her, and blocked Prince Ping.
"Madam of the Prince of Xuanguo, I dare not, but I saw the wife of Marquis Wuning feeding medicine to that young master. If he were unlucky enough to die, I wonder if the wife of Marquis Wuning might not be involved."
Prince Ping stood lazily with his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows and walked around Su Xinxin to look at Su Qianqian.
"If you say you saw me feeding you medicine, and the four of us saw you beating Master Qiu, I wonder who His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and Master Xue would believe?"
Su Qianqian came out from behind Su Xinxin, her expression somewhat timid and frightened, but her words revealed her fangs.
"The wife of Marquis Wuning and the cousin in the mansion are quite similar. They are both good at playing dumb and are full of tricks... no... resourceful.
I would also like to ask my wife to tell my cousin that it would be better for him to pay back the money he owes for saving his life as soon as possible. If you are late, I will charge you interest, and the interest may be more difficult to repay than the principal. ”
Prince Ping said this meaningfully and walked away leisurely.
"Aning, how much money did you owe him for saving your life? I have saved some money in private these years, more than 10,000 taels in total. I will give it to you to pay him back.
This person is not easy to deal with. Even if he stays in Xijing as a hostage, he will not necessarily be slaughtered at will. ”
Su Xinxin was a little worried and anxious to solve the problem for her sister.
"Don't worry, sister. I still have the money. Now that Mr. Qiu is still alive or dead, we should leave this dangerous place as soon as possible and make plans based on the situation."
Su Qianqian asked Su Mu to help her tidy up her dress and cloak, and then she and Su Xinxin walked out of the back garden along the winding corridor.
On the way, I met Zhu Jiayi who was coming back from the bathroom. Her face was green from peeing. She was shivering and was supported by a maid with her legs. She was sitting on a bench in the curved corridor where guests could rest.
Seeing Su Xinxin coming over, he said weakly: "Sister-in-law, help me find where to eat. I'm so hungry that my legs have no strength..."
Su Xinxin said in a low voice with a speechless look on her face: "Are you planning to stay in the clean room of the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight?"
"But sister-in-law..."
"Where is my aunt?" Su Qianqian asked casually without seeing Qin Yuzhuo.
"Your aunt-in-law left me in the bathroom and ran away. Who knows where she went?" Zhu Jiayi said unhappily.
Su Qianqian didn't think much about it. She thought they might have gone to see her little sisters. Xu Jinglie's fifth daughter and Zhou Jinxi were also there. They probably didn't want to accompany Zhu Jiayi to see the bathroom, so they sneaked away.
But as he was speaking, he saw Zhou Jinxi and several girls walking over, including Xu Jinglie's fifth daughter, but not Qin Yuzhuo.
Several people greeted Su Xinxin and her sister. Zhou Jinxi first asked if Mr. Su's injury had healed. Then he looked around and said curiously:
"Why is Sister Yuzhuo missing? We have been walking around for half a day but haven't seen her. Did she find a good place to enjoy the view?"
"Sister Yuzhuo is the type who can't sit still for long. Why is she alone here to enjoy the view? I think she must have gone to see the acrobatic troupe that Miss Xue invited. I heard that there are people who can disappear and reappear out of thin air!"
The young lady from the General Wuwei Mansion gestured and said, Zhou Jinxi's eyes lit up instantly: "Why didn't you say so earlier? It's so boring to wander around. Where are you? Go away!"
Zhu Jiayi originally wanted to go with them, but before she could stand up, the girls had already walked away talking and laughing, which made Zhu Jiayi sit back down in anger.
Su Qianqian was a little worried about Qin Yuzhuo at this time. Why was she nowhere to be seen? The fact that the servant was so dressed up as to dare to secretly try to kill Mr. Qiu meant that there was unrest in the Prime Minister's residence. We had to find her as soon as possible to avoid any problems.
Su Qianqian informed Su Xinxin and took Su Mu to find Qin Yuzhuo.
After taking a few steps, she saw Princess Zhaoyang's maid running over in a hurry. When she saw Su Qianqian, she looked angry and then went to the front yard!
[Oh no, something happened!] 】Su Qianqian thought to herself
