Logically speaking, Zhu Jinhuan, as a victim, should be handed over to Dali Temple for arrangements.
However, the imperial doctor found that her vertebrae were broken and she could not move easily, so she had to stay in Qin Xiang's Mansion temporarily.
Then after the vertebrae are bandaged and fixed, they may be moved to a nearby wing.
Qin Jiaoxi felt that Zhu Jinhuan was locked in a secret room.
"If Fourth Brother is worried, can you take a look at the rooms and yards around the lotus pond?"
Xunsi Ge nodded: "Okay! Then be careful!"
He had just turned around to leave, and the next second Bo Jiming took Qin Jiaoxi and escaped into the space to bypass the blocked tunnel.
In fact, if they hadn't brought along the burden of Xunsi Pavilion, they would have walked to the door of the secret room.
As for why he didn't move directly to the secret room, he was naturally worried about bumping into the guards left in the secret room.
The secret passage was not long, and the two of them moved hand in hand against the wall. However, when they were about to reach the stone wall, they suddenly heard voices coming from inside.
"...If it weren't for this, my son-in-law wouldn't invite you here!"
"So Meng Yinqin was the one who grabbed people first? And he calculated that you would be behind?"
"Humph, my father-in-law might as well go out and ask around tomorrow. My son-in-law doesn't have the final say on this matter!"
Father-in-law?#@$&
Qin Jiaoxi came to his senses later and took a deep breath.
Didn't the regent say that Wang Yuehui, a man with a different surname, would not arrive in the imperial capital until tomorrow?
Unexpectedly, he came to Prime Minister Qin’s Mansion at night?
Suddenly, with a delicate voice, the strange man's voice shouted angrily: "Who is it?"
The burly figure also flashed at the door of the secret room.%&(&
Fortunately, Bo Jiming reacted quickly and pulled Qin Jiaoxi into space.
Two secret guards appeared and said, "King Yue, what happened?"
Then Qin Yi also came out: "Father-in-law, this secret passage has been sealed by my son-in-law. It is impossible for anyone to come from this way!"
He turned around and asked the secret guard: "Is there anyone at the exit of the secret passage?"
The two secret guards shook their heads and said: "No, the two subordinates have been guarding the entrance and exit without leaving even half a step!"
Wang Yuehui, who had a different surname, frowned and looked around: "But just now I clearly felt the breathing of another person here."
He walked a few steps forward uneasily until he reached the place where the secret passage was blocked and looked around before turning back.
"Forget it, you went to see A Qian today. Did she tell you anything about those four distant relatives?"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, those four people were just pretending to be under her orders. They went too far on their own and they have nothing to do with A Qian!"
"Well, and this girl, since she deserves to die and is so seriously injured, there is no need to keep her any longer!"
"My son-in-law understands that she will be properly dealt with after the case is heard in Dali Temple!"
"Then I, the king, will take a step forward and go to the palace in person tomorrow!"
"My son-in-law sends my father-in-law a greeting!"
"..."
After a long time, Qin Jiaoxi, who could hear outside sounds in the space, breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, they're gone, let's get out quickly!"
Just as she was about to take a step outside, Bo Jiming suddenly grabbed her head and said, "Danger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sleeve arrow swished through the place where Qin Jiaoxi almost appeared, and then nailed to the stone wall with a "click".
Yue Hui, who had left and returned, slowly walked over and looked at the stone wall with squinted eyes: "It seems that this king is too worried?"
Qin Yi wiped his sweat and said, "My father-in-law, this is prudent, not careless!"
Just as Yue Hui was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something and pulled out the sleeve arrow from the stone wall with his backhand.
