Chapter 210: Are the princess and others protected by someone?
Hearing this, the three people from the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion repeatedly assured that this would not be the case. At this moment, they knew very clearly that what Qiao Rongjin said was serious.
I feel happy that my daughter has a master like you who values her so much.
Fuqiu was so moved by Qiao Rongjin that she knelt down on the spot and bowed deeply to Qiao Rongjin. Qiao Rongjin hurriedly asked Qinglian to help her up.
Before Fuqiu left, Qiao Rongjin gave her one thousand two taels of silver to preserve the master-servant relationship of those days. Fuqiu didn't want it, but she compromised under Qiao Rongjin's insistence.
"Master, can I come back to see you in the future?" Fuqiu asked with red eyes.
Qiao Rongjin said, "It's time to change your words, of course."
Only then did Fuqiu smile.
Parting is always sad, but all good things must come to an end.
Qiao Rongjin refused the expensive gifts sent by the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion. She was nice to Fuqiu because she deserved it and she liked her. What does it have to do with other people?
The Marquis of Zhenxi did not expect Qiao Rongjin to refuse, so they did not know what to do and could only look to Prince Rui and the Princess.
Qi Heng was not surprised by this, and even expected it.
In the end, only the gifts for Prince Rui's Mansion were accepted, and the gifts for Qiao Rongjin had to be taken back.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi was very grateful to Qiao Rongjin. Before she left, she said, "The Concubine has been very kind to me. I will remember this."
Then the father and son of the Marquis of Zhenxi also said, "Thank you for your kindness, Concubine. The Marquis of Zhenxi Mansion will remember your kindness and will hold a reunion banquet for Xi'er another day. Please come and enjoy it, Concubine."
Qiao Rongjin wanted to ask whether she remembered or not, but there was no need to say it. In the end, looking at the expressions of the people in the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, she said nothing, only saying that she would attend the reunion dinner.
Seeing that Qiao Rongjin agreed to go, the three people from the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion looked even happier. They intended to thank Qiao Rongjin very much, but she didn't want the gift. They could see that she had no other purpose towards their mansion, and it was purely because of Fuqiu that she talked so much to them.
After inviting Qiao Rongjin, Marquis Zhenxi then invited Prince Rui and the Princess.
Then Fuqiu followed the three people from the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion back to the Marquis Mansion that day. Yunshen was suddenly one person less, which made Qiao Rongjin a little uncomfortable.
Everyone in the Rui Palace also knew that Fuqiu from Yunshen Pavilion was actually the lost eldest daughter of the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion. This incident caused quite a stir in the Rui Palace. Many people envied Fuqiu, but the servants who had bullied Fuqiu before now lived in fear every day. After all, Fuqiu was now recognized as the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. To touch these minions would be like pinching an ant.
The days went on like this, and Fuqiu's departure only made Yunshen Pavilion quiet for a day, and then it returned to its former bustling and warm state.
However, on the very night when the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion delivered the invitation, a major event occurred in the palace.
Qiao Rongjin, who was about to fall asleep, heard a knock on the door and paused, "Come in."
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open and Qinglian walked in against the cold wind, walking faster than ever before.
Qiao Rongjin rarely saw Qinglian in such a hurry, and realized that the matter might be serious, so he stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master, the Prince Rui's Mansion has been surrounded by all the guards ordered by the prince. Also, the prince just left the mansion in a hurry and took Guard Jiang with him. Then, there seems to be a fire in the palace!" Qinglian spoke very quickly, with a look of uneasiness on her face, and she just stared at her master closely.
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin had an idea and immediately put on his shoes and walked towards Qi You's house.
Qinglian hurried to follow.
"Son! You'er!"
Qi You, who heard the voice, looked at the bamboo shadow in front of him and said, "Do as I say, and be quick!"
"Yes, master." After saying that, the man left quickly like a gust of wind until he disappeared.
Qi You hurriedly opened the door, pretending nothing had happened, and asked in confusion, "Mom, why are you here?"
Qiao Rongjin didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Mom just wanted to see how you are doing. Son, you go to sleep in my room tonight."
After thinking about it, it would be best to keep the person by his side. Otherwise, if the prince goes crazy and sends people into Prince Rui's mansion to arrest people, that would be bad. After all, the prince dares to do such a thing as treason, and Prince Rui is the male protagonist. Male protagonists are prone to accidents. What if the prince plans to capture them and use them to threaten Prince Rui? Qiao Rongjin thought of the worst outcome. No matter how outrageous it was, he had to keep his son by his side to feel at ease.
Hearing this, Qi You knew that his mother must have guessed something. It must be said that although his mother was a little lazy on weekdays, there was no doubt that her intuition on certain things was terrifyingly accurate, especially when it came to danger. Moreover, his mother was very smart, she was just lazy. To ease her mind, Qi You smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sleep in the same room with you."
After all, tonight is destined to be turbulent, and I will feel more at ease with my mother by my side.
Thinking about what the prince did on the night of rebellion in his previous life, there was a hint of coldness in Qi You's eyes.
He sent Zhuying to protect the emperor's grandfather. Although he would not stop the prince from rebelling, the injury of the emperor's grandfather could be avoided. The emperor's grandfather was very good to him, so he sent Zhuying to go.
It was enough for Yunshen Pavilion to have himself, Xiao Yuanzi, and Zhu Yun. After all, he also felt that there were several people hiding in Yunshen Pavilion tonight. Qi You knew without thinking that this was arranged by his father, so the safety of Yunshen Pavilion was not a problem.
"Zhuyun, you can sleep in my room tonight too."
"Yes, master." Zhu Yun naturally also noticed the unusualness of tonight, as well as the sudden appearance of several men in black in Yunshen Pavilion.
"Master, where is this servant?" Qinglian became even more uneasy upon seeing this.
"Come to my room too. Oh, and tell Aunt Wu and the others to stay alert tonight. It's best if they all stay in the same room."
"Yes." Qinglian received the order and immediately ran to the room of Aunt Wu and others who had turned off the lights and rested.
Qin Yun didn't sleep at all. She just watched her master's arrangements. Her good friend came to tell her about tonight's events.
"Qinyun, you did a good job. You were in the same room with Madam Wu and the others. Comfort them."
"Yes." Qin Yun was happy to be entrusted with an important task, and the uneasiness she had just felt was somewhat relieved.
Soon, everyone in Yunshen Pavilion woke up. It was obvious that everyone couldn't sleep tonight.
Several men in black who heard the whole process from the trees and rooftops:
So, Concubine Qiao seemed to have guessed something?
Qiao Rongjin was about to enter the house when he suddenly remembered something and said to a big tree in the yard, "By the way, are there people protecting the princess and the others?"
