Qiu Yelan and Jiang Yashuang were both taken aback, "Who did it?"
"I won't come to you if I know." Qiu Feng frowned. "I was on the other bank at that time and the river was flooding. By the time I managed to get to the other side, the person had left and Concubine Mo was dying... I pulled her ashore. It seemed that she wanted to say something but... Now the body is not far away from the farm."
Jiang Yashuang frowned, "Was it an accidental attack or murder?" Concubine Mo came out with the Duchess of Huainan. She must have been specially dressed, with silk and jewelry all over. It was possible that they caught the eyes of robbers.
"I think it was the latter." Qiu Feng pondered, "Because the person was so quick at action. After I rescued Concubine Mo, I went to chase him, but he disappeared completely!"
Qiu Yelan wondered, "Could it be a bandit?"
"A bandit would only want money. In that case, he would knock out Concubine
Qiu Yelan returned to the room, but Zhuang Man and Xue Nongqing were not there.Chunran explained, "Miss Zhuang and Miss Xue got up and found you were not there. They said the room was not bright enough and they felt uneasy to stay there, so they went to find Princess Chunfu.""Are they so timid? There are so many people here." Qiu Yelan couldn't help laughing.Su He came forward with Whitey in her arms and asked, "Your Grace, why did Her Highness call you?""Qiu Feng came over and told me something." Qiu Yelan sent Chen Shui out to keep watch and told them what had happened. "Be cautious not to be dragged down by Kang Lizhang!"The three maids were shocked, "Kang Lizhang hired someone from Tianya?""Are you going to tell it to Princess Chunfu?" Chunran glanced at Xiaran and asked anxiously.Qiu Yelan said, "Yes... But I'm not going. Jiang Yashuang will do it. Qiu Feng seemed unwilling to let
When she arrived outside the farm, she saw Ruan Qingyan with Ruan Yi and several servants standing under thatched eaves to take shelter from the rain. His coir raincoat and bamboo hat had been untied and leaned against the earthen wall to dry. His mourning dress was covered with a white open-fronted robe because he was going out. His open-fronted robe was wet a few pieces, but he didn't look embarrassed. However, he had a kind of aboveboard and unruly demeanor."Cousin, what are you doing here?" Seeing Qiu Yelan coming out, Ruan Yi and others hurriedly held up their umbrellas and took refuge outside the eaves.Ruan Qingyan looked at her look and said, "I heard that the heavy rain has cut off the way back to the city. You have to stay here for a few days. I can't rest assured. So I come and have a look.""I'm fine. Don't worry." Qiu Yelan's heart warmed up and said with a smile, "But cousin, why do you come here in person? You have to make a det
Qiu Yelan followed Ruan Qingyan into the newly purchased courtyard. The courtyard with three courtyards looked old. In the second courtyard there was a tall ebony tree, which covered most of the sky with luxuriant branches and darkened the main house.The bodyguard who was arranged to clean up first was very capable. Not to mention that the original owner had moved away in such a short time, and they had cleaned up almost inside and outside."What happened when you saw Qiu Feng twice?" They sat down in the hall. Ruan Yi hurriedly directed people to make tea.Ruan Qingyan took a sip of tea and asked.Qiu Yelan just fell out with Jiang Yashuang. Her heart was in a mess at this moment. She was not in high spirits, saying, "Yesterday, it was he, Xun Yuxi, and Li Xuan who borrowed the mastiff dog from Ling Zui. He did not expect when the mastiff escaped the reins, it scared Chunfu Princess's Persian cat. This matter was constantly criti
When Ruan Qingyan went back to the little yard, it was still raining and began to dawn.After a day and night ordeal, his face was now pale and his eyes were bloodshot even though he was in the prime of his life. But his eyes were still bright and gleaming. Flames burned in his eyes from the bottom.He walked into the front hall as he untied his coir raincoat. Two guards behind him were dragging a man who was bleeding. He wasn't even wearing a coir raincoat. The rainwater mixed with blood, making the floor from the threshold to the hall red."Hand over Yelan to me safely, and I'll let you three leave the capital safely!" When he reached the inner room, he took the handkerchief handed over timidly by Chunran. He wiped his face when he said coldly.Just a few minutes ago, Qiu Bo, who gossiped Ruan Qingyan with Qiu Qian, now suddenly stood up and saluted to Ruan Qingyan, "Young master, we will remember your mercy on us forever! But yo
After taking the pills that Qiu Jinglan brought, Qiu Yelan could talk, but she still felt tired.Chen Shui put two cushions behind her back to make her feel more comfortable. When she was about to leave, Qiu Jinglan asked her, "Did Mei Xue and Qiu Qian wake up?"Chen Shui answered with fear, "The guy who tortured them struck hard. They probably won't wake up today."Qiu Jinglan looked angry. Before he about to say anything, Qiu Yelan pulled herself together and mediated, "You were so angry just now. They won't slight you. Just wait for a day then. Didn't you say orchid incense was not fatal?" Mei Xue and the other two had the mind of betrayal for a long time. Qiu Jinglan's focus was always on the official circles which gave them an opportunity.Even this time, because of Qiu Feng's accidental intervention, they fell short of success. But Qiu Nie did ask Qiu Qian to have a back-up plan. The orchid incense used to contain Qiu Yelan w
It was raining cats and dogs.Although they were shaded by a lush Chinese tallow tree, Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Feng got wet through after they confronted each other in the yard for a short while.If at ordinary times, they wouldn't be in such a difficult position.But they both knew that they were facing the vigorous opponent of their lives at that moment. A small negligence could cost their lives. Of course they didn't have time to take shelter from the rain using their inner power."You have been busy running about in these two days. And you are exhausted trying to save Commandery Princess Ningyi. Challenging you to a duel at this moment brings me no honor to the victor!" Qiu Feng took out the long sword from behind slowly and said word by word, "But I'm not doing it for exchanging experience. I'm doing it for revenge... Come on!""Clash!"Through the window, Qiu Yelan could hear the swords banging noises wh
But now, Qiu Yelan and her brother, unaware that Mei Xue had given them trouble, were discussing about going to the Xue Family, "In fact, if we go to the Xue Family with the excuse for pleading for Xue Fangmi, and if we go there as soon as we return to the city, we surely demonstrate our sincerity.""I will tell people that you caught a cold while you were in that village, and that you would go there tomorrow. Then I will tell them that you weren't well today, so you dare not go over right away. That's it," said Qiu Jinglan gently while he took control of his horse and walked alongside the carriage. "You've only been relieved of the poison, and coming back to the city. You'd better have a rest for a day. We are late, anyway! Why don't we have one more day off..."Before he finished speaking, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from behind. One man shouted, "Ruan Qingyan. Please wait up!"Upon hearing this voice, Qiu Jinglan felt very surprised
Ling Zui had been causing trouble for so many years and was born and raised in the capital, how could he be defeated by a Young Prince who just entered the capital? With a contemptuous wave of his hand, the guards behind him immediately offered the concealed weapons for the scuffle, such as lime powder, firecrackers, blowing arrows, and small crossbows. All stuff they could get at hand. Even some of them who took whatever they could fetch. They tore off their sleeves to wrap up the horse dung from the street and smash it into the crowd of Western Army soldiers.In terms of strength, Kuang Qingwu's men were definitely better than Ling Zui's. The problem was that although the street was quite abroad, Qiu Yelan's carriages, Ling Zui and his men and Kuang Qingwu and his men were standing on the street face to face, which blocked the street. The Western Army soldiers couldn’t gallop in such a street with so many people!The cavalry couldn't gallop. Meanwhile, th
