Chapter 26 26
In the suffocating silence, Shanglu's mind suddenly became much brighter.
"You can talk?!"
Shang Lu looked at Gentiana Qin in disbelief. The latter seemed to have been dazzled by this sudden turn of events, and was at a loss when he calmed down at first, pursing his lips for a long time without moving.
The handsome face under the veil looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he hasn't fully opened his mouth. If he doesn't open his mouth, just looking at the face is really easy to mistake for a woman.
She... no, it's him, why did she pretend to be a woman?What's the purpose of letting him follow him back?
Shang Lu didn't think about these kinds of questions at all, only "it turned out to be a man" kept replaying in her mind.
Qin Geng thought that Shang Lu was resentful for his deception, but he was at fault for this matter, and it was indeed his intention to deceive and use Shang Lu.
Although he does feel guilty about it now.
After hesitating for a long time, Gentiana Qin finally said hoarsely: "Yes."
"Feel sorry."
After slowly uttering these two words, Gentiana Qin felt a little at a loss, his mind, which was originally full of calculations, went blank, and he didn't know what to do next.
Although it is said that the deceit was used first, Qin Gentiana was just an ordinary boy, who suddenly experienced great changes overnight, and has been careful in every possible way since then.
In the face of malicious "relatives", he can calculate and deal with them without hesitation, but he doesn't know what to do when facing innocent people with kind hearts.
In the final analysis, he wanted to be fierce, but his heart was not strong enough, so he still had guilt and concerns, and thus easily exposed his hard-working concealed identity.
At this moment, Gentiana Qin was tangled up in every possible way, but Shang Lu didn't know it at all. She was only drawn back by Gentiana Qin's voice again.
Shanglu's focus has never been different from others. After confirming the true gender of Gentiana Qin, the first thing she noticed was not Gentiana Qin cheating on her, or the reason why Gentiana Qin knocked the cakes away, she noticed Gentiana Qin's sound.
It really belonged to a man... The voice belonged to a teenager, but it was unbearably hoarse, not only as if he had not made a sound for a long time, but also as if his throat had been scraped off by life.
—A wounded throat, indeed.
At this moment, Shanglu's mother-like enthusiasm gained the upper hand again. Thinking back to what Qin Gentian said about the complicated situation in the clan, and what he had seen and heard in the past few days, maybe Qin Gentian was not completely lying to her.
At least the conflict between Gentiana Qin and the Qin family is not a joke. If Gentiana Qin was forced to become a woman, the viciousness of the Qin family might be even more outrageous.
Shang Lu relied on her intuition to dawdle in the arena, except for Su Ye's incident, she didn't have any troubles, and she also trusted her intuition more, rather than easily guessing others with malice.
So when Gentiana Qin was still worried that Shanglu would resent him, the latter's thoughts had already turned to the suffering he had suffered in the Qin family.
If what Qin Gentian said was true, then what the Qin family did to him would only be worse.
Shang Lu accepted this reality faster than Gentiana Qin. The hunger caused her eyes to fall back to the food box that had been knocked down earlier, and the cakes fell to the ground. Shang Lu felt a little sorry, but she also knew the severity.
"Why can't you eat it?" Shang Lu asked.
"...Ah?" Qin Gentiana was stunned. He didn't expect Shanglu's thoughts to jump so fast. After a while, he answered obediently, "It's poisonous inside."
"Poisonous?" Shang Lu was shocked, recalling the innocent words of Miss Qin before, and suddenly felt a chill run up his spine, "How could it be...in broad daylight..."
"She came here on purpose when she saw me coming back. If I was one step later..." Qin Jia paused, "She is the most favored young lady, and there is no one in my side courtyard. Even if something happens, she If you push it on me, no one will get to the bottom of it.”
Others may be happy to see the success, not only solving the accident of Shanglu, but also removing the hidden danger of Gentiana by the way, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and it is a very cost-effective deal.
Previously, Shang Lu was just thinking habitually, thinking that no one would do harm to others so blatantly. Now, when Gentiana Qin reminded her, she also reacted accordingly.
"She wants to kill me? Why does she want to kill me?" Shanglu asked strangely, "I haven't even met her a few times? Do you have any grudges against her?"
Seeing Shang Lu's puzzled eyes, Qin Gentian couldn't help but smile wryly.
"She and I... To put it more bluntly, we call it a double—" Qin Geng paused, then said, "She was supposed to go to Baibu Kingdom."
Under Shang Lu's perplexed but calm eyes, Qin Geng hesitated for a moment, and slowly talked about his life experience.
In terms of blood, Gentiana Qin is indeed the blood of the Qin family, but he lived with his mother in the folk since he was a child, but he didn't know who his father was.
Qin Gentian's biological father is actually the third son of the Qin family. He was rescued by Qin Gentian's mother when he was in distress when he was young.
When Qin Gentian's mother became pregnant, his biological father was found by the Qin family.
After that, no one said anything about it, and Qin Gentian was also ignorant, only knowing that his biological father never thought of their mother and child after he returned.
By the time Gentian Qin knew of his existence, his biological father, whom he had never met, had ascended to heaven for many years, but the Qin family left behind a mother and daughter.
The Miss Qin who came earlier, Qin Danzhu, is his half-sister. Of course, this is only in terms of blood.
Qin Gentiana was born without a father, and suffered a lot of rumors since he was a child, but his mother was strong as a mother, supporting this broken family alone and raising the child.
When Gentiana Qin reached the age of ten, there were no gossips from the neighbors, only admiration.
For Qin Gentiana, not having a father is not a serious flaw. His age of lacking fatherly love has passed early, and he only wants to be dependent on his mother wholeheartedly.
Who knows that such a trivial wish has become a luxury.
Qiongzhi's geographical location is unique. Although it doesn't have rich resources, it is enough to survive the war alone.
But as the dust settles on the big battlefield outside, and the victory of hundreds of neighboring countries, King Qiongzhi suddenly remembered the dark history of being a shit-stirring stick, and worried that the next door would be idle to settle accounts after autumn, so he hurriedly summoned counselors to discuss how to calm down the hundred tribes. Ministry of anger.
A group of people quarreled in the hall for a long time, and the only useful thing was the "marriage" news from other countries brought back by the spies.
King Qiongzhi was very satisfied with this, and immediately made a decision, and the question that followed was who to send.
There are very few women in Qiongzhi's generation, and those of the right age are all married, so the candidates can only be selected from the important ministers.
Qin Xiang's deadly rival recommended Qin Danzhu, the most favored young lady of the Qin family.
Qin Danzhu is the only child left behind by Qin Xiang's third son - Qin Gentiana is nothing to the Qin family, and before it acts as a stand-in, it is already a thorn in the flesh, and I can't wait to get rid of it soon.
The fate of the third son was unlucky and he passed away early. Mrs. Qin always favored her youngest son, and she loved her granddaughter very much. No one in the whole family dared to say no to her.
Qin Xiang's love for this granddaughter is not as pure as Mrs. Qin's, but when this granddaughter was born, there was a vision in the sky, and the whole city thought it was auspicious.
And after that, the children of the Qin family did have many promotions, so Qin Xiang always regarded this granddaughter as his family's lucky star, and often lamented that it was a pity that his granddaughter gave birth to a daughter by mistake, otherwise he would have great achievements in the future.
In short, Prime Minister Qin didn't want his granddaughter to leave, and he even started looking for a son-in-law early on.
But the nemesis spoke convincingly, Qin Xiang was in a high position, there was only one granddaughter at the right age in the family, and the birth of a nationally famous auspicious person, only such a special woman was worthy enough to show sincerity.
King Qiongzhi was so afraid that he was not sincere enough, so he asked the next door to tidy him up, and at this moment, he felt that it made sense.
For the stability of the country, what is it to sacrifice a granddaughter.
So King Qiongzhi waved his hand, and the candidate was decided in this way.
After Qin Xiang went back, he had a sad face, but he didn't dare to openly disobey the sacred order. On the contrary, Miss Qin, the person involved, was very courageous and her mind turned quickly. After two nights of trouble, she came up with the idea of a substitute.
Anyway, there are many juniors in the Qin family, and it is not clear how many young ladies there are in the Qin family in the capital, so there is a lot of room for maneuvering.
What's more, there are so many people sent from various countries, Baibu may not be interested in it. When the time comes, let the substitute escape earlier, or simply order one hundred and kill them directly. Even if they are discovered, they just need to blame the substitute.
I prepared in advance, just in case I pretended to be a victim, Baibu would not deliberately pursue the Qin family if I wanted to, and the Qin family had a century-old foundation, and King Qiongzhi would not act rashly.
Miss Qin had a good idea and got herself out completely, but Qin Gentian suffered from this innocent disaster.
"...When I saw her for the first time, I wondered how someone could look so similar to me. I thought it was a random disaster, but I was just unlucky to have a picture similar to Miss Qin's." The face was targeted, and I found out later that she had already targeted us."
Gentiana Qin's mother didn't know the real identity of Gentiana Qin's father at first, and she still kept a thought for a few years ago. Later, she disappeared for several days in a row, and when she came back, she looked distraught, and never mentioned it again. Guo Qin Gentian's father.
Later, Qin Geng recalled that scene, and felt that his mother probably knew the truth about being abandoned at that time, and the Qin family also knew the existence of their mother and child.
The Qin family had ignored the mother and son for many years, but when they thought about it again, it was to create a ridiculous scam.
"...They threatened me with my mother's life and then drugged me. Fortunately, I have a friend who is a doctor."
When he said this, Qin Gentian touched his throat subconsciously. Although he was alive after the catastrophe, the pain of suffering has become a long-lasting shadow.
"After all, my mother is still in their hands. She has already suffered a lot in raising me. I can't let her have an accident because of me. The Qin family almost covered the sky with one hand in Qiongzhi. I can only go to Baibu to make plans." ......Feel sorry."
Hearing this, Shang Lu felt nothing but sighs in her heart. She thought this was a plot that would only be heard in the story books, but she did not expect that there was such a real case in front of her.
After seeing Gentiana Qin paused, with a face full of guilt, Shang Lu reacted slowly. His last sentence was an apology to her for her deception and use.
Before hearing this story, Shanglu might still be a little angry, but after hearing this story, she immediately jumped out of the role of the victim and began to sympathize with the victim in another story as a bystander. the ones.
"Then you asked me to come back with you to save your mother?" Shang Lu asked.
Seeing Shang Lu's sincere question, Qin Gentian couldn't help being dumbfounded. He even carefully considered the two short sentences, and began to wonder if she was hiding her anger and ridicule in them.
But the truth is no.
Although Gentiana Qin is young, he grew up in a place where three religions and nine streams gathered. He has seen all kinds of people since he was a child, and he has some experience in how to distinguish the emotions of others. He looked at Shanglu, but he could not see any shadow of anger and sadness. The unexpected is also replaced by genuine concern.
That's where it gets weird -- what a weird guy.
Gentiana Qin originally thought that such ideal and innocent characters would only appear in story books.
But no matter what, Shang Lu didn't attack him immediately, which made Qin Geng heave a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Qin Gentian nodded and replied, "I have been looking for someone outside these few days, and now I have found my mother."
"You didn't bring her out? Is there any future trouble?" Shanglu guessed.
"I..." Qin Gentiana paused, her gaze dropped, "There are guards... I originally wanted to take her away tonight and leave Qiongzhi directly."
"Do you know the way? Do you have enough money?" Shang Lu seemed completely unaware of the meaning behind Qin Geng's words, but asked with concern, "Are you going alone? Do you need my help?"
"I..." Qin Gentiana paused for a moment before continuing, "It's just me and my friend, time is too tight, I have to hurry up—"
Having said that, Qin Geng suddenly stopped talking, and he turned his head a little stiffly, looking at the door of the room.
Previously, he was so worried about Shang Lu's life that he left Her Majesty the Empress next door directly at the door, and he had not communicated with Shang Lu for a long time——
Noticing Qin Gentiana's sudden stiff movements, Shang Lu followed his line of sight blankly, but only saw the closed gatehouse: "What's wrong—wait!"
Shang Lu also reacted, his expression changed immediately, he quickly raised his hand and pushed Qin Gentiana aside, then staggered towards the door and opened it.
"Your Majesty—"
Phytophthora's unfinished names ended with the "things" that Bai Ying picked up.
To be precise, it is a person.
It was Miss Qin Qin Danzhu who tried to poison Shanglu just now.
But at this time, Miss Qin could no longer see her previous look, her face was half swollen, and one arm was bent irregularly, obviously she had been beaten up.
But even after suffering such a terrible pain, Miss Qin was able to suppress the pain without screaming, she just gritted her teeth, the resentment on her face was so strong that she couldn't hide it.
"Young man." Baiying, who had been squatting at the door for a long time, looked up, and was not angry when she saw Shanglu who was stunned. She just sighed inexplicably, and she didn't know who she was talking about.
I have to say that Shang Lu felt a little dark when he saw the person who wanted to kill him turn his head and kick the iron plate.
And with the previous experience of running away from home together, although Shang Lu dared not admit it, in fact she still trusted Bai Ying quite a bit, and she had already planned the other party into her own range, so she didn't feel anything at this time wrong.
Qin Gentian, who followed behind, was frightened for a while. Among other things, the crime of deceiving the emperor cannot be escaped.
For a moment, Gentiana Qin wanted to jump out of the window and escape, but thinking of Shanglu, he gritted his teeth and followed out.
Seeing Miss Qin who looked like a rag in Baiying's hand, Gentiana Qin was even more surprised than Shang Lu, and didn't even know what to say for a while, and just froze in place.
Among other things, Gentian Qin knew that Miss Qin was good at martial arts, and he had suffered several times at Miss Qin's hands.
It's just that Ms. Qin seems to prefer to use words and intrigue to play with people's hearts, and only when she is extremely impatient, she will use force to suppress people, so Qin Gentiana can only think about countermeasures in a roundabout way, and dare not be tough.
It seemed that Bai Ying casually beat up the eldest lady into a well-behaved quail, but what made Qin Geng even more horrified was that this high-ranking empress could actually beat people, and she was very innocent and cute in appearance. little girl.
Logically speaking, the Qin family has no intersection with Baibu, and there should be no grievances between Miss Qin and Bai Ying.
Even if there was, it would have to be done in just a few days, but Qin Jia knew that Miss Qin was busy making trouble for him these days, so she probably wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble with an unknown person.
Although Miss Qin is vicious, she is not a fool, she is even more cautious than many people.
Here, Qin Gentiana's complexion changed from green to white, while Shanglu quickly approached Bai Ying's side, and directly asked about the cause and effect.
"I saw her poisoning the dog." Bai Ying explained briefly, "I'm going along the way."
Shang Lu barely understood the superficial meaning of these two sentences - it should mean that Bai Ying saw that Miss Qin was poisoning dogs, and she didn't like her, so she taught her a lesson.
But the truth is that Bai Ying came here specifically to find Shanglu. She didn't want to get in touch with the Qin family, so naturally she didn't go through the main entrance. According to the location provided by the guards, she jumped over the wall and came in.
As a result, she ran into Miss Qin as soon as she turned in. At that time, Miss Qin had just come out of Gentiana Qin's yard, her expression was brisk and her steps were brisk.
Originally, Bai Ying didn't care about this young girl and only wanted to find Shang Lu, but soon she found that the place where Miss Qin left was the courtyard where Gentiana Qin and Shang Lu lived.
Although it was just an ordinary run away from home, Baiying still did the basic intelligence gathering. Just by looking at this remote courtyard and making guesses, she could guess what the Qin family's attitude towards Gentiana Qin would be like.
The little girl who just came out was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the pearls and hairpins were extremely luxurious, so she must not be an ordinary servant.
However, as long as there is someone who can talk a little bit and can say something for Gentiana Qin, they will not live in this simple courtyard.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this little girl will not have any kind and friendly talks with Gentiana Qin.
Seeing the other party's extremely happy expression, Bai Ying turned back just in case, and followed her to see if she had any conspiracy.
As for poisoning the dog with the leftover snacks, that's another story.
Bai Ying saw that Miss Qin took out the remaining snacks in her arms and fed them to the dog. The dog soon foamed at the mouth and lost its breath, but Miss Qin showed a very happy smile, which made Bai Ying feel chills.
But soon Bai Ying thought of Shang Lu again, wondering if this Miss Qin had done something, so she decided to restrain her first.
"I just want to be knocked unconscious." Bai Ying showed a regretful expression. She only wanted to knock Miss Qin unconscious before she said, first to see if there is any antidote on her body. Ying took a few tricks.
Although Miss Qin was young, she was really difficult to deal with. In the end, Bai Ying got impatient and simply took off one of her arms to let her settle down.
"Then this face..." Shang Lu couldn't help being speechless, still puzzled, "Why didn't she bark?"
"Afraid of disfigurement." Bai Ying said, turned her head, and gave Miss Qin a blank look, "You slap your face when you scream."
Shanglu: "..." She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Miss Qin.
Of course, there is only a little bit, and when it is used up, it will be gone.
"Is there an antidote?" Shang Lu rolled up his sleeves, looking eager to try, as if Baiying would rush to search her body as soon as she opened her mouth, "Do you want to strip naked and search?"
Miss Qin also seemed to be stunned by Shanglu's boldness. After a moment of stunned, she began to struggle desperately. While glaring at Shanglu angrily, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say, "Just wait and see."
Shang Lu stared back, thinking that I have never lost to a hooligan.
"No." Bai Ying slashed Miss Qin on the side of the neck neatly, the first time it didn't work, she hit the second time, and Miss Qin rushed to the street unwillingly, "It's quite tenacious. "
"What should I do?" Shang Lu looked at the huge pile of humanoid creatures on the ground, and felt a little annoyed at the thought of her vicious heart, but at the moment they were all in the Qin family, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only look up. Ying, I hope that the person with the highest status present can give me an opinion. les resource group, woo woo qi, let's go together
"Burn it." Bai Ying suggested with a wooden face.
"Your Majesty! Stop making trouble." Shang Lu helped his forehead helplessly, "If we want to burn it, we have to wait until we leave, otherwise we will be the ones to blame."
"You decide." Bai Ying retracted her joke.
Sure enough, not everyone can receive her messages as easily as Jing Mo.
Ah, I've only been away for a few days, yet I'm starting to miss Jingmo.
How about taking the time to go back and elope with Jingmo.
Bai Ying thought casually, pointed at herself, and said, "I'm here on vacation. Others, I'll settle it myself."
Bai Ying pushed the pot to the ground, and the forgetful Shang Lu curled his lips in disappointment, but Qin Gentian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly flashed a light in his eyes.
"I'm going to find my mother, otherwise it will be too late when other people find out that she's gone." Qin Geng gritted his teeth, kowtowed in Baiying's direction, and said, "Everything is as you have seen, I have nothing to justify. I beg you to wait until I rescue my mother, and any punishment after that...is at your discretion."
Only then did Bai Ying look up at Qin Gentian, and she wasn't too surprised to see his masculine appearance.
"Too young." Bai Ying shook her head, as if she was sighing, "I can't hold my breath."
Qin Gentiana froze.
"Go." Bai Ying repeated, "I'm here on vacation. I won't talk about state affairs."
This sentence showed Bai Ying's attitude, Qin Jia's heart relaxed, kowtowed to Bai Ying again, then hurriedly got up and ran outside, not even changing the complicated and inconvenient women's clothes on her body.
Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Bai Ying, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm a little worried, I'll go with him."
Bai Ying was caressing a hidden button on Miss Qin's coat, staring at her neckline with inexplicably deep eyes.
Shang Lu, who noticed this scene, shook, and quickly threw out words like "the red apricot is out of the wall" and Jing Mo's face and sad expression in his mind.
"Let's go together." Bai Ying got up.
"Ah?" Shang Lu came back to his senses in horror. For a moment, he felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at Baiying's expression. He nodded indiscriminately, "Oh, okay, let's go then. Is it here? Will they be found to hunt us down?"
"No." Bai Ying said firmly.
Shang Lu believed it without hesitation, and then turned around to catch up with Gentiana Qin.
Bai Ying walked slowly at the end, before turning over the wall, she turned her head and glanced at the unconscious Miss Qin.
I don't know if it was affected by the invisible momentum, Miss Qin, who was supposed to be in a coma, trembled slightly.
......
Waiting for the calm in the hospital to return, Miss Qin slowly opened her eyes.
It seemed that it took time to sort out her thoughts. Miss Qin realized where she was, and when she turned her head to look, there was no one in the room as expected, only the overturned food box rolled to the ground, as if mocking her whim plan of.
"You guys wait for me! Don't even try to run away!" Miss Qin suddenly came back to her senses, gnashed her teeth, gathered up her collar, fastened the concealed button, and blocked most of the bright red pattern on her neck, "Especially you—— Baiying! I! One! Definitely! Will! Kill! Kill! You!"
After uttering harsh words word by word in the deserted courtyard, Miss Qin hastily adjusted her robe, then got up and left in a hurry.
Just looking at the direction in which she left, it didn't seem to be the direction in which Qin Gentian and others left earlier.
The distraught Miss Qin didn't look back at the dilapidated small courtyard. When she just stepped out of the small courtyard door, there was a figure sitting on the back courtyard wall.
It was Bai Ying who had just left with Shanglu.
A moment later, another head poked out from the position next to Baiying.
"Your Majesty—" Baili Shuang leaned on the wall panting, and stuck out her tongue for a while, "It's not good for us to climb other people's walls like this..."
"Call me by name." Bai Ying reminded.
"Your Majesty—Sister Aying." Baili Shuang changed her name in a good manner, but she was still very helpless, "Can you remind me when you go around next time, I will wait for you at the same place."
"Let's go." Bai Ying jumped off the fence and chased in the direction Miss Qin left.
Seeing that Baiying's expression was a little off, Bailishuang stopped talking in good time and hurriedly followed.
While looking for someone, Bailishuang was still thinking about what happened during this time.
First, Jing Mo warned him ten thousand times, and then met the former empress by such a coincidence, and Bai Ying rarely showed such an expression——
It is not appropriate to say that it is complicated, but it looks like a blank space.
It's obviously just an ordinary run away from home, why is there such a troublesome feeling.
Bailishuang felt a little headache, but she didn't dare to slack off, and followed Baiying closely.
If anything happened, his sister would kill him first if nothing else was said.
It's just that this Miss Qin, who has never met before, can make Jing Mo and Bai Ying vigilant at the same time?
Bailishuang was puzzled.
......
Two days later, Jingmo received another letter from Baiying.
This time the letter was still delivered by Bailishuang, and it was opened in front of the fifth princess.
The fifth princess was not going to snatch Jingmo's letter, but just glanced at Bailishuang with a half-smile while holding the teacup.
Baili Shuang stood in the corner well-behaved, watching his nose, nose, and heart, trying to blend in with the wall behind him.
Jing Mo seemed to have no sense of the suffocating atmosphere at the moment, so he reached out and knocked on the forehead of Bai Shu who was watching him eagerly: "Keep copying, don't sleep if you can't finish copying at night."
Seeing that the master showed no signs of softening, Bai Shu pitifully turned to look at his own aunt again.
"Ahem, look at what I'm doing, keep copying." My aunt followed suit and patted my eldest nephew's head, "Sister Jingmo is also doing it for your own good."
Sure enough, no one can be trusted!
Aggrieved, Bai Shu lowered his head and continued to copy the book, deeply feeling that the world's malice towards him was too deep.
Obviously he just wants to be a salted fish waiting to die.
Bai Shu sighed.
While opening the letter, Jing Mo glanced at him, twitched the corners of his mouth, and had an expression of "I know everything", which made Bai Shu tremble and fell silent immediately.
What Bai Ying sent this time was no longer a confession letter, and the number of words was even smaller, but the content surprised even the five princesses.
"I saw my second brother."
"Second brother?" Fifth Princess said in shock, "Didn't second brother die a long time ago?"
"Sure enough, it's still here." Jing Mo just sighed, as if he had already realized it.
