Chapter 11 Skin Change
Suddenly, Qi Lu felt like he was reborn and breathed out, squatting beside Duan Miaomiao, his hands and legs were as cold and numb as if they were covered with ants.
"Help, I thought we were going to be eaten."
Duan Miaomiao couldn't help but shudder when he said this.
Qi Lu stood up and lifted Duan Miaomiao, who was growing on the ground. The two walked out of the yard to raise Shan Jing on the ground, slowly returned to the yard where they lived, helped Shan Jing to her room and lie down on the bed, and then returned to their own room.
Duan Miaomiao poured a cup of tea and drank it all, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he sat down and stared at Qi Lu in a daze.
The latter walked to the table and sat down, trying to control his thoughts and calm his mood.
This kind of feeling of surviving the disaster is really uncomfortable.
But when Qi Lu couldn't figure it out, he raised his upper lip and said, "This should be the daughter of Concubine Xi. The monster they mentioned, it seems that this queen is not as kind as people say."
His mind was full of the face of the "girl" and her slightly trembling hands stretched out.
The cuffs of the hands were shorter. Qi Lu saw the scars on the girl's wrist. What sharp weapon should have been caused by it. It approached the pulse, and it was fatal, circling and rooting in the cuffs.
Qi Luyi said affirmatively: "She is asking us for help, and she said to save her. This story is not as simple as we imagined. We still have to see the queen before we can know it."
Duan Miaomiao nodded madly and said, "If it is true, you heard it correctly. I think we can secretly find her. Don't we have gifts from novices? What are you afraid of!"
Qi Lu glanced at her and said, "Don't use the gift of a novice easily, have you forgotten? There is only one chance. Don't alert the snake. We will ask when we meet the queen. If there is no guess, the queen should have put her in house arrest somewhere."
"But since the queen has this attitude, the speculation of changing the skin has been overturned. I think I should take a step forward in what role the princess is in this story."
If the news Shan Jing heard was correct, then the queen would be summoned tomorrow, and the Zhongyuan Festival was getting closer and closer. Qi Lu had a kind of intuition, and there was even more terrifying waiting for them behind...
The maid brought the dinner in and then retreated. Neither of them had an appetite, so they dealt with it casually and took a quick rest. This night was destined to be sleepless all night.
It was the fourth morning. Sure enough, Eunuch Zhang stood in the yard. After he spoke a few words in Madam Wang's ear, Madam Wang pointed to the two girls in the north room and said, "Today, the Queen will start summoning two people. I will come to inform the next group of people. Now you can follow Eunuch Zhang and remember the etiquette I taught you."
Qi Lu noticed that Madam Wang's eyes were cold, as if she was looking at someone dead, without any turmoil.
After the two girls saluted Madam Wang, they followed Eunuch Zhang out of the yard and walked towards the south.
Summon two people at a time? Why?
Qi Lu thought about it in his heart. He wanted to confirm whether the two girls could return safely before making a decision.
He called Duan Miaomiao and Shan Jing aside and wanted to discuss it with them.
When Shan Jing walked up to the two of them, they were stunned at the same time. Shan Jing seemed to have lost a lot of weight overnight, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless, as if a gust of wind could overwhelm her.
Duan Miaomiao pursed her lips and said nothing. She looked at Qi Luyi, who shook her head slightly.
"There are two days left before the Zhongyuan Festival. If you summon twice a day like this, then there will definitely be a group on the Zhongyuan Festival. Now we don't know what this summon is. Today we can observe whether the two girls can come back.
She randomly selected people to summon them, and we don’t know who will be next. No matter who it is, everyone must be prepared to defend themselves.”
Qi Lu reminded him that he was worried that there would be a danger in this trip.
Shan Jing seemed to have not heard Qi Luyi's words, and kept gnawing on her thumb's nails, muttering something in her mouth.
After saying that, the three of them dispersed.
In the afternoon, the two of them were called out by Mama Wang again. This time it was a house to the east. When Qi Duan and the others saw that it was not Shan Jing, they returned to the house and waited.
