In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

At this moment, Lin Qing was also sitting at the table, drinking a pot of cold wine with Cui Xi. Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Xier, do you feel that this winter seems to pass by particularly quickly...

It's not even the New Year yet, but the weather is showing signs of warming up.

This year's winter is really short, just like my life in my previous life..."

Just now Cui Xi was making some "hmm" and "ah" sounds in agreement with Lin Qingye's words, but when she heard Lin Qingye say, "As short as her life in her previous life," she immediately widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed.

"Miss! Are you drunk? What nonsense are you talking about? You can't say that!"

After saying that, Cui Xi stood aside, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and spoke with a pious look on her face.

“The bad ones don’t work, the good ones work, the bad ones don’t work, the good ones work, the bad ones don’t work, the good ones work.

God, please forgive me for what I just said unintentionally. Please pretend that you didn't hear it."

Just as Lin Qing was looking at Cui Xi with a somewhat amusing expression, Cui Xi turned around and said to her.

"What do you mean by short life! Miss, you are going to live a hundred years!

Touch the wood and say bah bah bah…”

After saying that, Cui Xi anxiously pulled Lin Qingye's hand, pulled it towards the chair, and stared directly at Lin Qingye, speaking in an almost commanding tone.

"Hurry up and say it. Pah, pah, pah. Say it three times..."

At this moment, Lin Qing could only do as he was told, with an indulgent smile on his face.

After Lin Qing finished the process as Cuixi required, Cuixi pouted and stopped. Then she seemed to remember something and asked softly.

"Miss…...

Did something happen to you recently? Did you have a conflict with the Sixth Prince?

And A Yue'er, why didn't you stay with us for no reason?

You just said that...

Are you hiding something from me?"

Seeing that the little girl in front of him seemed to be about to cry, Lin Qingye hurriedly spoke out to comfort her.

"It's okay. A Yue'er was originally someone close to the Sixth Prince. I just borrowed her from him temporarily before...

Right now the Sixth Prince is in need of protection. After all, everyone thinks A Yue'er is my maid, and she won't be left out in the open, so it will be easier for the Sixth Prince to do things.

The reason why I said that just now was just because I had a dream the day before yesterday..."

After hearing this, Cui Xi nodded as if she understood, and then said.

"Then Miss, why don't you go to bed early tonight..."

At this moment, the jug of wine had just been finished by the master and servant. Lin Qing picked up the empty jug and shook it, then nodded helplessly towards Cui Xi and said.

"Then let's get ready to wash up."

Just when Cui Xi was about to go out to get some water for Lin Qingye, there was a sudden noise outside, and the originally dim firelight suddenly lit up.

As Cui Xi lifted the door curtain and prepared to go out, she was immediately bumped into by two guards holding spears. Without saying a word, they blocked Cui Xi who was about to go out into the camp.

Cui Xi was so frightened that she stood there in a daze for a moment. Seeing this, Lin Qing hurried over, stepped forward and protected Cui Xi behind him. Then he took out two silver bills from Cui Xi's arms and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the two guards at the gate.

When the two guards saw the silver note of such a large denomination, they immediately took it without making any expression.

Then one of the guards spoke quietly.

"Miss, something big happened tonight. The Emperor has personally ordered that all camps be on alert. Anyone leaving the camp will be killed without mercy."

When Cui Xi heard this, she was so scared that she immediately shrank back and hurriedly pulled Lin Qing inside.

Lin Qingye waved at Cui Xi, then took out two silver bills from Cui Xi's arms, stuffed them into the guard's hand, and asked softly.

"My two young masters, do you know where the incident happened?"

The guard was about to change his expression, but when he saw the silver note that Lin Qingye handed over again, his expression instantly returned to normal, and the guard who had been silent just now spoke.

"Miss, please don't ask. We are just following orders and we don't know the details.

But it is said that something happened to the eldest prince. We are only grateful to you for your generosity, otherwise we would never dare to tell you about this matter of losing our heads."

As soon as the guard finished speaking, another guard followed up on his words.

"Yes, Miss, please bear with it for a while tonight and don't go out. We two brothers are here to protect you.

If the curfew is lifted, we will inform you immediately.

It's getting late now, Miss, you should go to bed early."

After listening to this, Lin Qing also knew that he could not get anything out of these two guards.

So she smiled again, took out two silver bills from Cui Xi's arms, stuffed them into the guard's hand, and said politely.

"You two young officials have worked hard. This is just a small gift as a token of respect. Take it and have some tea."

Then Lin Qing made a gesture to shut the two guards, indicating that she would not tell anyone what had just happened.

The two guards quietly accepted the banknotes with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they never expected that this mere young lady from a marquis's mansion could be much more generous than the ladies in the palace.

The money they had just collected was equivalent to their salary for more than ten years, which was enough to buy a small courtyard in their hometown.

The two guards couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling happy immediately, and they stood guard more seriously than usual.

Just when Lin Qingye brought Cui Xi back to the camp to rest, the two guards began to discuss Lin Qingye quietly.

One of the guards spoke first in a low voice.

"Liu Da, the young lady just now is the young lady of Pingnan Marquis Mansion, right?"

Another guard nodded slightly.

"Yes, this is the tent of Marquis Pingnan."

"The young lady of the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion is really generous and treats us as human beings, unlike those concubines who not only reward us like beggars, but also order us around like dogs."

"That's right. This is the first time I've met such a kind-hearted lady. Not only is she pretty, but she's also very generous, just like the goddess Guanyin."

"Who says it's not true? This Pingnan Hou..."

When the guard named Liu Da said the three words "Marquis of Pingnan", he suddenly stopped, and then seemed to remember something and started talking to himself.

At this moment, Liu Da silently repeated the three words "Marquis of Pingnan" several times in his mouth.

Just when the other guard thought he had received a reward and was going crazy with joy.

Liu Da suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"Oops! Not good!"

Seeing Liu Da's startled look, the other guard looked around vigilantly. Fortunately, each tent was separated from each other by some distance, and everyone was standing guard attentively, so no one noticed them.

Another guard then spoke up softly to remind him.

"Liu Da! Don't worry about your head! You're so startled! Be careful not to be discovered!

I heard that the emperor got so angry tonight that he beat two maids to death!"
