Fang Zhiyuan received the news of Xiao Qi's murder on the morning of the next day. On the surface, the Xu Mansion seemed extremely calm, but secretly more people were deployed, especially in his yard.

Fang Zhiyuan was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea when he saw Qiao Zhi walking in with a solemn expression. After saluting him, he knelt on the ground obediently, as if he was willing to do whatever he wanted.

Fang Zhiyuan smiled, with a fatherly look on his face, and said, "Qiao Zhi, how come you have lost so much weight in just three months?"

Qiao Zhi still knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Guo, for your concern. I wonder what you are looking for?"

Fang Zhiyuan said with a hurt look: "You follow His Majesty and now you call me my father-in-law. You used to call me my foster father."

Qiao Zhi raised his eyes slightly but didn't say much.

Fang Zhiyuan saw that his expression was not as alienated as before, so he helped him up and said, "Sit down, I have something to say to you."

Qiao Zhi stood aside and did not sit down obediently. Instead, he said, "If you have anything to do with me, just ask me."

Fang Zhiyuan saw that he didn't want to stay any longer, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a smile: "It's nothing, but I want you to come back and help me, are you willing?"

Qiao Zhi raised his hands and said: "When the Duke of Guo asked me to stay with Qin Zhan and Ji Weiliang to stay with His Majesty, he made us swear that we will be loyal to Your Majesty for the rest of our lives. Our lives are His Majesty's lives, and Your Majesty is yours."

Our only master, this oath will never be forgotten."

Fang Zhiyuan stood up and patted Qiao Zhi on the shoulder, as if he was appreciating him, but the next moment he said: "That woman in Li Yang has a nice color. It's no wonder that idiot fell into your trap. If you like her

, I can spare her life."

Qiao Zhi was startled and suddenly raised his head to look at Fang Zhiyuan, his eyes full of surprise and wariness.

Fang Zhiyuan seemed to have expected such a reaction from him, and said with a smile: "Qiao Zhi, what do you think?"

Qiao Zhi was extremely torn in his heart. It seemed that he could only choose one between His Majesty and the woman he loved. There seemed to be no way to have both.

Qiao Zhi gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, saying, "I will obey my foster father's orders."

Fang Zhiyuan patted Qiao Zhi on the shoulder again and said, "Good boy, if there is any news from His Majesty in the future, you have to report it in time, okay?"

Qiao Zhi replied: "I understand."

Fang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Get up, I need you to do something for me."

Qi Jiaojiao was staying in the room, reading the book Qin Zhan had brought to relieve her boredom, when she heard the sound of the door opening. She looked up and saw "Yunxiang" walking in with a baggage in her hand, followed by Qin Zhan.

Behind "Yunxiang".

"Yunxiang" had a worried look on his face, glanced at Qin Zhan behind him, and said to Qi Jiaojiao: "I told you not to have any evil thoughts. Look, you are locked up by the Lord now.

.”

Qi Jiaojiao felt sick, this person really knows how to act, "Okay, besides, I'm going to vomit. Have you brought everything I want?"

"Yunxiang" felt sick in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "I brought them all, do you want to change them now?"

Qi Jiaojiao glanced at Qin Zhan and said, "Of course, Qin Zhan, please go out, I want to change clothes."

Qin Zhan glanced at Yunxiang, then at Qi Jiaojiao in a warning manner, then turned and left the room, closing the door considerately.

Qi Jiaojiao approached Yunxiang and rummaged through the clothes in her bag. There were two sets of clothes and two sets of changes of fur clothes. Yes, that was enough.

"Yunxiang" approached Qi Jiaojiao and asked in a low voice: "How is everything going on here? I heard that Xu Miaoyin assassinated His Majesty, what did you say to Xu Miaoyin?"

Qi Jiaojiao hummed perfunctorily and asked, "I've already done what you asked me to do. How will I escape then? You have to help me."

When "Yunxiang" heard this, she gave her a big look and said, "Didn't I give you the fake death medicine? If you take that, I'll transport you out."

Qi Jiaojiao stopped, and looked at him suspiciously, "I won't eat anything that comes into my mouth. If you want to kill people and silence them, wouldn't I have died unjustly?"

"Yunxiang" didn't expect her to wake up so much, so she asked, "What do you want?"

Qi Jiaojiao chuckled, and said close to "Yunxiang"'s ear: "Tell me how you sneaked in, and I will just go out along that road."

"Yunxiang" saw that Qi Jiaojiao didn't give up, and the master pressed her harder. After thinking about it, he agreed and said: "The lake in Xujiayuan's house is running water, leading to the river surrounding Yangzhou City. The entrance

Just below the waterside pavilion.”

Qi Jiaojiao asked again: "How long is the underwater tunnel?"

"Yunxiang" didn't expect that she was quite cautious, so she replied: "I need a cup of tea."

Qi Jiaojiao thought about it. In ancient times, the time for a cup of tea was about ten minutes. Her previous diving record was ten minutes. As long as she was well prepared, she should be fine.

Qi Jiaojiao took out a set of clothes and said, "Just wait for my news. You can leave now. I want to change clothes."

"Yunxiang" saw that she had already begun to take off her clothes. She wanted to say something, but she forgot what to say. She turned around and said something shameless, and quickly walked out of the house.

Qi Jiaojiao smiled proudly, "Young man, I can't cure you yet!"

When Qi Jiaojiao was changing her clothes, Qin Zhan also opened the door and walked in. Seeing that she was still wearing her clothes open, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Why haven't you finished changing after taking so long?"

Qi Jiaojiao saw that the tips of Qin Zhan's ears were turning red, so she lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She only showed a little bit of her fur coat, but no skin at all. Why was this person so shy? He was really innocent.

Qi Jiaojiao quickly fastened her belt and said, "Okay, what do you want from me?"

Qin Zhan turned around and saw that she was indeed fully clothed, so he said: "Master is recovering from his injuries now. Don't cause trouble, you know? Tell me what you want and I will help you do it. During this time, the government has sent extra manpower.

Especially Lanyinyuan, don’t even think about escaping, you know?”

Qi Jiaojiao understands that Qin Zhan cares about her, but she has her own ideas and world, and she doesn't want to be trapped here.

She also thought carefully about what would happen between them, but after thinking about it she decided to leave. Maybe he also treated her differently, but that was only on the basis that she had not done anything that would threaten Xiao Qi.

But what she wanted to do happened to threaten Xiao Qi, and it was obvious who he would choose, so there was no need for her to spend time here. She rescued Xu Miaoyin and took her people away.

Thinking that she might never see Qin Zhan again, Qi Jiaojiao felt a little reluctant. Just as she was about to say something, Yuqiu walked in, glanced at Qin Zhan, and said to Qi Jiao who was hesitant to say anything.

Jiao said: "Madam wants to see you, come with me!"

In the main room of Lanyin Yuan, Xu Miaoyin was guarding the bedside. She put another cotton towel on Xiao Qi's forehead. She saw that his face was pale but there was a touch of red. He had been burning all night, and she also took care of him.

He didn't sleep a wink all night.

At this time, Xu Miaoyin felt complicated. Xiao Qi's madness yesterday had frightened her, and what Lu Shifang said had shaken her desire to leave here.

"Madam, it's not good for anyone if you and him torture each other like this. One day you will understand that the so-called truth is not the truth." After Lu Shifang finished speaking, he looked at her with some regret.

Xu Miaoyin felt a little confused. She didn't know why Doctor Lu would say this to her. She couldn't help but wonder if Doctor Lu knew something? Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things to her.

"Doctor Lu, what do you mean? What is the truth?"

Lu Shifang just shook his head and said: "I don't know anything. You will know the truth you want to know one day. There are always causes and effects in the world, and there are always some mistakes. You have to see it with your heart.

Then I won’t embarrass myself and others like this.”

There was something in Lu Shifang's words that made Xu Miaoyin confused for a moment about what he was going to say to her. When she wanted to ask more questions, Lu Shifang had already left the room with the medicine box.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Xiao Qi on the bed, and saw that his usually handsome face was now bloodless, and he was frowning slightly, and he looked a little more frail than usual.

She sat on the edge of the bed and took a closer look at Xiao Qi. Under the eyebrows that slanted into her temples were a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes that were tightly closed at this time, with long and dense eyelashes, a handsome nose, and plump lips.

It was moist, but now it looked a little pale due to blood loss.

He is undoubtedly good-looking, and it's good to see that sometimes she is so jealous that she doesn't want anyone to look at him or have him like her. Sometimes she even feels that her husband is ignorant and needs her protection.

Xu Miaoyin smiled mockingly to herself. How could he need her protection? How could he need her protection if he was so thoughtful? Everything was just intentional on his part.

When she began to resent him and no longer wanted to love him, he restricted himself to the point of not giving up his own life just for her words. This kind of him made her slightly shaken.

However, the life and death of her father and sister were unknown, and she was unable to find out their current situation, which made her extremely troubled.

What should she do?

"Miaoyin, don't go..." Xiao Qi closed his eyes tightly and murmured inaudible words. Xu Miaoyin got closer to him and heard what he was saying.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Xiao Qi complicatedly for a moment. She didn't know whether he was sincere or fake. She should wait until he was out of danger.

Unexpectedly, at night, Xiao Qi began to develop a high fever. Xu Miaoyin had no time to think too much. She focused on Xiao Qi, who was seriously injured in bed, and took good care of her. It was not until dawn this morning that the high fever subsided.

It went down slowly.

Xu Miaoyin sat by the bed and saw that although his face was still a little pale, the color of his lips slowly returned to some color, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did Xu Miaoyin remember the note Qi Jiaojiao had put in her sleeve pocket. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed and no one would come in, Xiao Qi was unconscious again, so he took out the note and read it.

The note read: Sister, that fake death pill can help you escape. As long as you leave the Xu Mansion within twelve hours, we will be free.

After Xu Miaoyin read the contents on the paper, she stood up and burned the note on the still burning lamp.

Qi Jiaojiao wanted to help her leave here, but after yesterday's incident, she was a little hesitant. It would be best if she could rescue her father and sister as soon as possible. Fang Zhiyuan didn't want her to assassinate Xiao Qi, so she would use yesterday's pre-deception

She asked him to help her release her father and sister first. As long as they walked away so that Xiao Qi could never find her again, wouldn't everyone be happy?

Since there is a shortcut, she no longer has to spend time going to Yujing to seek help from her grandfather.

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyin planned to find Qi Jiaojiao to make a plan, and asked Yuqiu to find Qi Jiaojiao. At this time, Xiao Qi was unconscious. Everyone's attention was on Xiao Qi, and they probably didn't pay attention to what she did.

.

Not long after Yuqiu left, Lu Shiconveniently came over, checked Xiao Qi's pulse, changed the medicine, and said: "We are out of danger. As long as we can wake up today, it will be fine."

When Xu Miaoyin heard this, she was completely relieved. At this time, Yuqiu came to report that Qi Jiaojiao was already waiting for her in the side room. Xu Miaoyin said goodbye to Lu Shifang and went to the side room.

As soon as Xu Miaoyin left, Xiao Qi opened his eyes, which were clear and clear and not as hazy as when he just woke up.

Lu Shifang seemed to have expected it and was not surprised. He knew Xiao Qi was awake when he took his pulse, but he just didn't expose him.

Xiao Qi slowly sat up. Although the wound was involved, he still gritted his teeth and endured it. Lu Shifang, who was beside him, couldn't bear to see him so self-absorbed, so he helped him sit up and leaned against the bed.
