"Okay!" He looked at the maid next to him, "Hurry up and go!"
Turning around, he coaxed to Xia Zibing very gently: "Come on, be good. Lie down. I can't forgive you for abusing my little nephew like this."
Xia Zibing was speechless and could only lie on the bed obediently. Although her heart had not yet let go, she looked at Qin Yuntao, who had been busy around her at this moment, and said, "Yuntao, thank you for saving me last night."
"Okay!" He smiled gently, "How do you say thank you between friends?"
As if thinking of something, he continued to ask: "I heard from Han Yan that you want to go back to Donglin? Why, that damn bastard Jun Moxiao bullied you?"
She had never known that Qin Yuntao actually dared to call him a bastard? You know, there is no good thing to eat if you make Jun Moxiao angry. Once the anger was unleashed, this young prince who only knew how to do business would probably tremble with fear.
Now, I still have the courage to curse people here, which is really rare.
"No, I just want to go back to Donglin for a visit." She no longer looked away, "My mother is sick."
Qin Yuntao understood the meaning with just a few words and nodded, "Oh, I suddenly thought that Bing'er was still Zhong Jiuli's apprentice. Now that she is pregnant, she still thinks about her mother. She is such a filial daughter.
"
Xia Zibing said nothing, but gave him a faint smile. He had to deny that this kid was as cute as a pistachio.
"Go back after you recover!" Qin Yuntao looked at Xia Zibing, "Bing'er, I have nothing to do anyway. I'll take you back."
"Didn't you say something happened to you just now?" Xia Zibing slightly frowned and asked slowly.
"It's been taken care of!"
"Yes!" Xia Zibing nodded slowly. Qin Yuntao was a friend she had always cared about. The Qingshui acquaintance was more useful than anyone else at the critical moment.
"However, Donglin Palace seems a bit strange recently."
"What did you say?" She quickly heard the strange voice.
"Oh, it's okay. I said, Donglin Palace seems to be a little abnormal recently." He immediately changed his words, "Don't worry, Bing'er, your mother will be fine. In comparison, those imperial doctors are not vegetarians. And, no
Is there still Zhong Jiuli?"
"Yes!" She nodded. She took Qin Yuntao's words of comfort into her heart.
"Ahem, I'm going to go out now. You have a good rest. I will help you investigate that matter and give you an explanation."
After saying that, he took another maid out and ordered her to wait outside the tent. Then he quietly closed the curtain and left.
"My subordinates also resigned!"
She covered Xia Zibing with a quilt and then left.
Lying in bed alone, everything last night seemed like a movie. In fact, she had always felt strange why she had just arrived in that room last night. But the shadow said that she was with someone else...
There is also the mysterious disappearance of the jade pendant. Is all this premeditated? Although she doesn’t know much about her father, she also knows that she sincerely hopes that she can live a good life. As expected, could it be that it’s not him?
Written? But if not, how could it be her handwriting?
Thinking of this, Xia Zibing couldn't help but shudder. She almost didn't dare to think about it. But suddenly, she felt a little dazed. Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Damn it, when she drank the medicine, she felt that there was sleeping powder in it. Maybe he did.
It was time to take a nap and everything would be restored. Xia Zibing felt relieved, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I freshened up and felt much better. I slowly opened the tent, and it was already dusk.
"Bing'er, come and eat grilled fish. It's delicious."
In the distance, thick smoke billows. Qin Yuntao is sitting by the fire, shaking the fish in his hand. He looks very satisfied. The fish is still roasting in the fire next to it, exuding an alluring fragrance. It has been a long time.
I smelled the aroma of food. For a moment, I walked over involuntarily.
Her red lips parted slightly and she asked unconfidently: "Can I eat it too?"
"Of course!" He handed his fish to Xia Zibing warmly. The alluring fragrance made Xia Zibing ignore everything and was about to bite it, but she found that he had withdrawn the pole and said, "I won't let you eat it, ha.
Ha ha……"
Xia Zibing only felt a crow flying above her head. If it were before, she really wanted to slap this man flat like this. How old is she to tease others like this? Looking at Xia Zibing's displeased expression, he pouted slightly, "
Why are you so incapable of joking today? Really."
He ordered someone to take down a freshly grilled fish from the shelf and handed it to Xia Zibing with a smile. However, he didn't expect that she would not appreciate it this time. She hummed and turned her face to the side, looking very dissatisfied.
"Bing'er, I was wrong." He was helpless, girls are like this. They get angry at every turn. Damn, where did the fearless Bing'er of his family get tricked by Jun Moxiao? She will try to escape from that man someday.
go.
"You really give it to me?" she asked unconfidently.
"Of course!" He handed the fish to her.
"Forget it, I won't eat it." She pouted and refused again with dissatisfaction.
But when Qin Yuntao was depressed and was about to take the fish back, he saw Xia Zibing grab it with his paw, hold it in his mouth, and took a hard bite, "Humph, you want to play tricks on me. No way! I won't even give you the window."
open."
Qin Yuntao was stunned for a long time, watching Xia Zibing change back to her lively and cute look. She couldn't help but feel happy and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Bing'er, you are so cute."
Seeing him smiling so happily, Xia Zibing couldn't help laughing. She ate grilled fish and laughed with Qin Yuntao. With this kid, there seemed to be no pressure at all. No matter what the topic was, we could talk about it.
She was very happy. However, she seemed to have forgotten the taste of grilled fish. She ate it again today and it was a real treat. Finally, the child gradually grew up and her sense of taste finally recovered. She no longer has to suffer.
Looking around, there were more than a dozen tents arranged tightly in order. Her tent was in the middle. The night was gradually falling, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
"Oh, by the way. Bing'er, I helped you find out what you said this morning." Qin Yuntao said while eating grilled fish in his spare time.
Xia Zibing had just started to eat vigorously when she was taken away by these words. She looked at Qin Yuntao for a moment, "Who is it?"
Qin Yuntao smiled awkwardly, frowning and couldn't bear to look at Xia Zibing's expectant eyes: "The person is outside, but..."
He looked slightly embarrassed, which made Xia Zibing confused.
"It's just, Bing'er, you have to be mentally prepared." He waved helplessly, "I was shocked when I saw it."
Xia Zibing was speechless, two black lines popped out of her head. Shocked? She wanted to meet this person who could scare Qin Yuntao, a living treasure.
"Yes!" She closed her eyes to indicate that she was okay.
Qin Yuntao's eyes lowered unnaturally, and the index finger of his right hand pointed at Xia Zibing's back. But he didn't even raise his eyes.
10
Xia Zibing looked back belatedly, and the person she saw really shocked her.
The man was dressed in black kitchen clothes. He was tall but looked a little fat. He lowered his head, facing Xia Zibing's face. The most disgusting thing was that arrogant face. Not to mention the rough skin, the most important thing was
The right side of his face is surrounded by a huge black mole. It is extremely ugly. Although he is tall, his back is a bit stooped. It completely covers his original tall appearance.
"You..." At this moment, she finally understood why Qin Yuntao hid so far away when she saw him. This man was indeed ugly...
"Miss, are you here?" That rough and hoarse voice made Xia Zibing shudder.
"Uh..." She was speechless.
"Actually..." he paused before continuing, "I once worked as a cook in the Donglin Palace, but I was kicked out of the palace because I committed some unforgivable things. Fortunately, the prince took me in. As for the falling fruit.
, I plan to take it back to feed my wife-in-law."
There was a hint of disappointment between her eyebrows. She lowered her eyes and said helplessly: "Okay, you can go down!"
"yes!"
Seeing that the man finally left, Qin Yuntao opened his eyes and raised his head.
"Since you don't like him so much, why do you keep him by your side?" Xia Zibing was speechless. This was clearly because he was looking for fault.
"Well, I just see him as pitiful. If I don't accept this guy, who would want him?" Qin Yuntao looked helplessly into the distance, "Actually, the food he cooks is really delicious."
Xia Zibing was helpless. In the first half of her sentence, she said how great he was. Later, she realized that it turned out that this guy was just for food. She took back the good impression she had at that moment.
"You foodie!"
Xia Zibing replied helplessly. In fact, she was not disgusted with that man even though he was ugly.
Qin Yuntao just laughed twice. Xia Zibing shook her head helplessly, this is not a prince.
He was helpless in front of her. But she just liked this kind of nature. It was unrestrained and carefree. Of course, she also knew that Qin Yuntao would only be like that when he was with him.
"By the way, I really thank you for last night. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my mother and son."
She caressed her belly, and happiness filled the corners of her mouth. She was really grateful to Qin Yuntao, and it was so good to be alive. She could take revenge on everyone who hated her, and she could also be grateful to everyone who loved her.
He just smiled faintly, and then his expression turned gloomy: "Speaking of this, Bing'er, why didn't that bastard Jun Mo Xiao follow you back to Donglin? You are still pregnant with his child, he
How could I do this to you!"
Xia Zibing lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly: "There is some misunderstanding between us! I ran out on my own."
"With his ability, he would have caught up with him long ago." His handsome face turned away from the playful look, and he spoke with a sullen and angry expression to fight against Xia Zibing.
"Yuntao, I don't want to mention him anymore!" There were throbbing pains at the tip of her heart, which suppressed her breathing.
"Okay!" He saw the clues, and his angry face became full of words, "Don't mention that bastard!"
"He doesn't want you, but others do!" There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. After a long time, a sincere water flashed, "Bing'er, do you still remember what I said when you became a disciple?"
Xia Zibing raised her eyes and looked at him confused.
His eyes were slightly dark, exuding disappointment, "That time, I said that if the fourth brother doesn't want you, I will marry you."
Qin Yuntao smiled sadly, "You just thought it was a joke at the time. In fact, it was not."
"Bing'er, since none of them are a good match for you, choose me." He looked at Xia Zibing sincerely.
"What did you say..." Xia Zibing's face turned pink. She obviously couldn't accept Qin Yuntao's sudden confession.
"I don't mind everything!"
"That's enough!" She was slightly angry, "Qin Yuntao, if you make such a joke again, I will be really angry."
After saying that, Qin Yuntao looked at it blankly for a long time. His heart went cold, and he smiled instantly, "Okay, okay, I'm not joking. Eat fish!" He pretended to be relaxed.
"Yes!" Xia Zibing regained her composure.
Little did he know that while he was chewing the fish quietly, he felt extremely disappointed in his heart. Why did Bing'er, such a good woman, belong to a bastard like Jun Moxiao? Even if he couldn't marry her, it wouldn't be Jun Moxiao's turn.
"Yuntao!" Her clear phoenix eyes gushed out, "No matter what happens in the future, remember, you are my friend. A very good friend!"
The wind blew across Qin Yuntao's side, and a chill ran through his body. He frowned slightly, and then said in shock, "Bing'er, why are you talking about this?"
"It's okay." She put down the unfinished fish in her hand, "I'm going to rest first and set off early tomorrow."
After saying this, she stood up and slowly walked into the tent without waiting for Qin Yuntao's response.
"Bing'er, you just woke up and went back to sleep. Even if a pregnant woman sleeps hard, you won't be able to do it."
He stood up dissatisfied, and only reacted suddenly after yelling. Perhaps, he just spoke too abruptly. They can only be friends forever.
Friend? In his heart, is Bing'er really just a friend? Why, he finds that he can't live without her more and more? The time he wants to see her is getting shorter and shorter. And after knowing that she and Jun Moxiao have a conflict,
It also awakened his sleeping heart again. Why did he get such a bad thing? But he was never given a chance.
In the distance, the wind blew through a veil. The woman was still dressed in black, with a black scarf covering her face. There was always a confident smile on her lips.
"This woman's fate is so good!" There was deep jealousy in her words.
"Master, she is gone. Why should you care?" the man next to her comforted her.
"I just can't see so many men being nice to her!" Her sharp and deep eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty cold light, "I said that I want her to divorce as soon as possible."
In her eyes, she was proud of everything. Only towards Xia Zibing, she felt a little awe but also infinite jealousy. She could not forget the memories she had with her sister since she was a child. She could not forget the blessings she gave her on her sister's wedding day.
. And it was found that she died in prison with no body left. But Qin Yunchen didn't even check. He loved and indulged Xia Zibing in every possible way. She didn't understand why this woman was loved by so many people.
But the only thing she wants in her life now is to make this woman betray her family, ruin her reputation, be despised by thousands of people, and live on the streets. She will be ridiculed by thousands of people and be infamy for thousands of years before she can relieve the hatred in her heart!
The cold wind blows, and the night is filled with a thick murderous aura. The long black clothes dance up and down arrogantly. The feminine smile is the most sinister.
——
There was darkness before her eyes. She couldn't see everything clearly. She struggled hard, looking for an exit everywhere. Suddenly, the darkness gradually became brighter. In front of her eyes, a raging fire appeared. The surroundings were like a hell on earth, with all kinds of things hanging on the walls.
The instruments of torture were stained with blood around them.
"Binger!"
In the distance, a familiar voice came.
Taking a closer look, my dull mood was instantly liberated.
"Daddy!" She suppressed her emotions.
"Mom!" At that moment, she clearly saw her father and mother, whom she had not seen for nearly two months. Her voice carried a bit of the squeamishness of a little daughter. She flew like a bird separated from its parents.
All the tears and sweetness in the past were released at that moment.
But it was only a dozen steps away, and it seemed like she would never be able to run. It wasn't until she was tired and sweating profusely that she fell to the ground.
"Dad, Mom, wait for me!" She suddenly felt extremely fearful in her heart. It seemed that she couldn't hold on to the remaining family affection. That kind of fear was better than dying after being plotted.
But when he raised his head again, what he saw was a different scene. In the same hellish room, arrogant laughter could be heard. In the distance, Emperor Lin and Linhou were tied up with thick ropes.
"Hahaha, Xia Zibing. You have to be careful, these are your father and mother." The woman was covered with a black scarf, dressed in a black dress, holding a Qingfeng sword, and saw the unbridled murderous aura in her eyes.
"Whether you save them or not is up to you."
"Bing'er, don't come over. Mother is fine. Don't fall into this woman's trick."
Yun Qiang's heartbreaking voice called to her.
"Bing'er, listen to your father. Go back!"
"Xia Zibing, I will only give you one chance. You make your own choice."
Seeing them, a man with a hateful face walked toward the two of them step by step with a red-hot iron wire. Xia Zibing's face instantly turned red and became heavy.
"Who are you? Let them go and don't hurt my parents. Otherwise I will cut you into pieces." She looked at the woman in black angrily.
"Xia Zibing, what qualifications do you have to be crazy now? Don't you know that you have already lost everything?" Her sinister eyes looked at Xia Zibing crazily, full of sarcasm.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" She looked at the woman angrily, her eyebrows furrowing involuntarily.
"Hahaha, if I kill them again, you will really have nothing." She looked at the two of them proudly, with the Qingfeng sword just touching the emperor's throat.
"Bing'er, remember. She is by your side. Father believes that you can defeat her."
As she spoke, a touch of red blood disappeared into her eyes.
"Daddy..." she screamed heartbreakingly, holding herself up and running forward, "Don't hurt my daddy!"
In front of him, except for the red blood, nothing else could be seen.
"Father..."
She was sweating profusely and finally woke up from her dream. Her breathing was rapid and she couldn't control herself. She closed her eyes, suppressed the fear in her heart and sat up. Is this a dream? Why did she feel so real? Her father's last words were,
Remind her?
She is by his side! Haha, maybe dad is right.
At dawn, the sky is filled with blue. Day and night alternate, and everything in nature gradually wakes up. Yesterday, I slept almost all day. I seemed to be in much better spirits, but I obviously felt that I could no longer sleep.
She walked out of the tent slowly, and there was no other sound except the unique sounds of nature. She put on her cloak and walked around alone. While adjusting her mood, she breathed fresh air. Inadvertently, she suddenly left.
Go outside Qin Yuntao's tent.
She originally thought about going in and waking her up to go to Donglin as soon as possible. But as soon as she arrived outside the door, she heard a familiar voice. She didn't expect that Qin Yuntao got up as early as her. She really took her words to heart.
Come on.
"stop!"
Qin Yuntao's voice was very clear in the silent air, even though it was not too loud. When he looked around, he saw that not far away, a woman was walking by carrying something, and Qin Yuntao happened to see her.
He strode over and asked, "Where are you going so early?"
The woman turned around and looked at Qin Yuntao, "Didn't I tell you yesterday to set off early this morning? The doctor said that the master's body needs to be taken care of, so I got up very early to make some soup and medicine and send it to the master."
"Yes!" Qin Yuntao nodded with satisfaction, took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his bag and slowly opened it, "I have a good thing here."
After saying this, Xia Zibing saw with her own eyes that the packet of powder was added to the medicine, and her eyes widened for a moment.
"Your Majesty..."
The maidservant looked a little panicked.
"Send it over!" His order was unquestionable.
"yes!"
Xia Zibing was stunned for a moment, but immediately returned to her room. Breaking out in a cold sweat, she couldn't figure out why Qin Yuntao added something to her medicine.
"Master, is he awake?"
The maid's voice came from outside the door. Xia Zibing calmed down.
"Come in!"
She lay on the bed and slowly got up after the maid entered. She waited for the maid to bring the medicine.
"Master, please drink the medicine."
The maid handed the medicine to Xia Zibing respectfully.
Just by smelling it, Xia Zibing could tell that the medicine was not yesterday's prescription and had been replaced with abortion pills. Her sharp eyes suddenly looked into hers and she looked at her intently. The maid's eyes were as calm as ever.
Not a single ripple could be seen.
"My name is Qingyun!" She was blessed.
"Qingyun?" She frowned slightly and smiled, "Would you like to stay with me?"
"I can't help it!" The maid quickly knelt on the ground to thank her.
"No need!" She evoked a hint of contempt, "I like your calmness very much."
"But, why do you never take off your hijab?" she asked.
"My slave is ugly and I am afraid that I will scare my master."
"Oh!" She nodded calmly, "Get up."
Okay, if you want to play, just play as much as possible. She will definitely accompany you. Picking up the medicine, she looked at it intently for a long time. But she still had no intention of drinking it.
"Master, don't be afraid, I still have fallen flowers here." She thought she was afraid of the bitter taste.
She raised her eyes and smiled in relief, "Qingyun really means it!"
"Why was it that my personal bodyguard brought me cigarettes yesterday? Why did it come to you today?" She didn't have any unnecessary expression, she just felt confused.
"Master, this slave thinks that Sister Hanyan is responsible for protecting the master. It is the slave who should be responsible for delivering the medicine." She answered without blushing, as if she didn't understand what Xia Zibing was trying to describe.
