miscalculation

Early the next morning, Xiao Qian and Shen Lingjiao prepared their things together, and headed for Yin's residence in a mighty carriage.Yin Zhonglin led his two sons to greet each other, and after some courtesies, it was noon, and after lunch, they went to Shen's residence.Although Shen Tianyao is the richest man in the world, there is at least one businessman. Xiao Qian, as the prince, didn't need to go there.But he knew that in Shen Lingjiao's heart, he must really want to go home, so he sent some of his servants back to the mansion, and the rest followed him to the Shen mansion.

Shen Tianyao thought that Xiao Qian's visit was just a polite word, but he didn't expect him to come.For a moment, I was quite pleasantly surprised, thinking that as a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, compared to his status, my Shen family is really a low-level one.His dignified prince received such courteous treatment, and he couldn't help feeling grateful in his heart.Immediately raising funds, it seems that this marriage with the royal family is also of great benefit to their business.Although this eldest prince does not have the support of his mother's family, but fortunately he is quite favored by the sage, and since the Shen family is rich, it is not difficult to become a wealthy prince, and it is hard to guarantee that he will be able to make further progress in the future.Originally, she was worried that Shen Lingjiao's thoughts on Qin Xin would make the marriage unharmonious, but now she let go of her worries.

The two of them only stayed for more than an hour, and they were about to set off back to the house. Shen Tianyao sent them all the way to the gate, and drove them away in a car, so he was relieved.Shen Tianyao always likes to be quiet, so Shen's house was also chosen to be quite remote.Xiao Qian was not in a hurry, so he let people walk slowly.Looking at Shen Lingjiao's sad face, he knew that her coquettish and shy behavior in Shen's residence just now was fake, it was just for the peace of mind of her parents.

Xiao Qian said: "Miss Shen, now you are the concubine of this king, but your heart is not with this king. This king does not force it. The matter you asked me before really needs time for you and me to resolve it. Now you You're still worried about Mr. Qin, you won't be able to let go of your heart until I find out more about it."

Shen Lingjiao raised her head and was about to say a few words, but the guard outside shouted: "There are assassins, protect the prince!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qian rushed out of the carriage, and saw a masked man in black who had already killed several people, he was shocked.Those who followed him were all palace guards, quite skilled in martial arts, this man was able to kill most of them within a few strokes, it was really no small feat.

When the man in black saw him get out of the carriage, he immediately stepped forward to meet him, and the two began to fight.Sitting in the car, Shen Lingjiao had already seen from his figure that it was Qin Xin. He was anxious and shouted: "My lord, don't hurt him."

Although Xiao Qian learned martial arts since he was a child, he was not as brave as Qin Xin after all, so he was stabbed with a sword.Shen Lingjiao had already jumped out of the carriage, facing the two of them who were huddled together, very anxious.Seeing that Qin Xin's knife was fatal, she quickly shouted: "You...you go away. I'm already a princess, and I never want to see you again, you go, go away!"

Unexpectedly, when Qin Xin heard this sentence, he was full of anger, and he slashed hard, and then with a sword, Xiao Qian was injured again.If it wasn't for his restless sleep these days, coupled with the anxiety in his heart, he is really tired after going to the two mansions today, so it wouldn't be so bad.Xiao Qian had no choice but to resist desperately, and the two of them made dozens of moves back and forth.

Qin Xin originally thought that he was a prince without such martial arts, but he didn't expect to be so brave, and immediately used his life's best skills.Shen Lingjiao was shocked when she saw his attacking gesture, and when she saw that Xiao Qian couldn't catch the move in time, she stepped forward to block it.Qin Xin was not in a hurry to withdraw the knife, it had already stabbed her in the vital point, he was so frightened and furious that he shouted: "Ling Jiao!"

Xiao Qian stood aside, gasping for breath, and signaled the remaining guards not to do anything for now.Qin Xin hugged Shen Lingjiao, and saw that she was angry but relieved, and said, "Lingjiao, why did you block that knife? Why?"

"Brother Qin, the lord is a good man, don't hurt him. I... I'm already married to him, and I'm his man. Even if I die, I'm still his concubine. It's not too far away from the Shen family now, like him If I was assassinated and died, how can I save the lives of more than a hundred members of my Shen family?"

"Ling Jiao, what I wanted was the idea of ​​assassinating him and then surrendering himself. This will not only make it look like it has nothing to do with your Shen family, but also allow you to regain your freedom!" Qin Xin's eyes were full of tears, and he was filled with remorse.

"Brother Qin, where have you been these past few days? Did you get injured? Someone gave me a bloody coat, and I just thought that something happened to you..." Shen Lingjiao coughed again and again, still worried about Qin Xin's injury.

"What bloody clothes? I have been trapped in a place for the past few days, and the place is densely covered with organs. It was not until midnight last night that I found a chance to escape. As soon as I came out, I asked for news and found out that you had married into the palace, and I was unwilling , thinking that it must be the King of Yue who trapped me, so I thought he was coercing you, so he became murderous." Qin Xin continued to explain.

"Ahem... It seems that there is something strange about the bloody clothes. It seems that there are others who know about us. Brother Qin, I beg you, please don't hurt the prince, otherwise our Shen family will be involved."

"Ling Jiao, if you are dead, why should I live? Why should I kill him now?"

"No, you promise me to live a good life." Shen Lingjiao turned to look at Xiao Qian while talking, "My lord, you once said that you would definitely let Qin Xin go, and I hope you will keep your promise."

Before Xiao Qian could speak, Qin Xin shouted: "Ling Jiao, why bother begging him, I'll just kill him with one sword now!"

"Brother Qin, you promised me just now, but you forgot in a blink of an eye, go away!"

Qin Xinxin knew that Shen Lingjiao was seriously injured and was unable to recover, so he couldn't bear to let go.Shen Lingjiao had no choice but to take the golden hairpin from her hair, and said to Xiao Qian: "My lord, this is my dowry, except for the jewels that my father gave before, this hairpin is a token of my business. With this thing, dozens of people in Jiangnan and Jiangbei Every bank is at your command. I hope you will accept it. I wanted to see the character of the prince in the future, and then decide whether to hand it over to you. After getting along with you these few days, I know you are worthy of entrustment, so I will hand it over to you today. After I die, If there is something wrong with the Shen family, I hope the prince can protect the Shen family."

Xiao Qian knew that the Shen family was too rich and had already attracted the attention of all parties, so the marriage was really for the Shen family's sake.She risked her life to save her today, and entrusted this thing again, it is really sincere.He took the golden hairpin and said: "Miss Shen, don't worry, if the Shen family is in danger in the future, I, Xiao Qian, will definitely help with all my strength."

After hearing this, Shen Lingjiao smiled slightly, looked at Qin Xin and said, "Brother Qin, this is Lingjiao's fate, don't blame yourself. I just hope that in the next life, we will be a couple of gods and immortals."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and the poor scent of fragrance was cut off.Qin Xin cried loudly, cut off a section of Shen Lingjiao's black hair, removed the mask, turned to Xiao Qian and said, "I won't kill you, if you want to hunt me down, you can see my appearance clearly, draw a picture, and chase me from the ends of the earth. kill me!"

As Qin Xin said, he flew away without further words.Xiao Qian was seriously injured, reluctantly carried Shen Lingjiao's body into the carriage, and woke up Yuzhu who had just been knocked unconscious to drive back.

Yuzhu panicked, so she drove the carriage straight to Yuewang's mansion regardless of anything.The carriage was traveling too fast, which made Xiao Qian's blood surge, and he lost too much blood, so he passed out very quickly.

He fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, he saw no one around, but he saw Xiao Jue leaning against the bed with a tired face, as if he was taking a nap.Xiao Qian said softly: "Fifth Brother, where are you? Where am I?"

"Brother, you're awake! I'll call the imperial physician, don't move." Xiao Jue said hastily.

"Azhu, don't go, you go and pour me a cup of tea, I'm very thirsty." Xiao Qian only felt very tired and had no strength at all.

After hearing this, Xiao Jue poured tea for him without saying a word.Xiao Qian drank three bowls of tea in a row, and then he calmed down.

"This is Yue Wangfu? Why are you here?" Xiao Qian asked, remembering what happened before he passed out.

"How many days have I slept? Is Miss Shen's body properly placed?"

When Xiao Jue saw that he woke up, he asked Shen Lingjiao. He couldn't help feeling sad, and said, "Brother, rest for a while, and we'll talk about it later."

"No! You tell me first, what's going on?"

"You have slept for five days, and your injuries are serious. You are still fine, but I don't understand. Brother, your swordsmanship may not even be able to beat those guards. Who can kill Shen Lingjiao in front of your eyes and seriously injure you to this point? Yuzhu was the only one who had seen the murderer. Her father sent someone to torture her, but she never thought that the girl kept saying that she fainted and had never seen the murderer's true face. Afterwards, she was tortured and committed suicide. Just because you came back from Shen's house I was assassinated on the road, so my father ordered the whole family of the Shen family to be imprisoned until you wake up."

"What! Hurry up and help me into the palace, I want to meet my father!" Xiao Qian was anxious, struggling to get up.

"Banlin, are you awake? Father is here, don't worry. Don't worry, tell father what happened. I don't believe a word that girl Yuzhu said." Xiao Yi had already left When he came in, it turned out that he was worried about Xiao Qian, so he often visited Yue Palace.

"What did she say?" Xiao Qian knew that Yuzhu probably knew Qin Xin, but because Shen Lingjiao didn't dare to say anything, he must have shown his flaws in front of his father, so he was sent to prison to be punished.

"What she said is not important. When you wake up, you must explain clearly. How did this matter go?"

"I was returning to Ning with my concubine. On the way, a masked man suddenly flew down. He raised a knife and slashed at him. The guards were unprepared. In addition, there were not many people around, so they were quickly killed. The man's goal seemed to be The concubine and the sons and ministers are fighting with each other. They don't want to be inferior to their skill and cannot save the life of the concubine. I think it may be that the Shen family has been in business for many years, and they have become enemies. Seeing that the Shen family has a good relationship with my royal family, they pretend to assassinate the sons and blame the Shen family. It is also unknown. The concubine originally hid in one place, and she would sacrifice herself to protect her son and minister when she saw that her son and minister were invincible, and I hope that the emperor will not punish the Shen family."

After Xiao Qian finished speaking, he couldn't breathe, Xiao Jue was so anxious that he called out to the imperial physician repeatedly.Xiao Yi frowned after hearing this. He heard from the criminal officer that Shen Lingjiao's knife wound really didn't look like he was stabbed, but was caused by facing the knife edge.He couldn't help but think of Xiao Qian holding Shen Lingjiao's portrait and being independent under the moon. He must have been extremely sad, and he would inevitably protect the Shen family. He knew that this matter was very strange, but his words were not unreasonable.
