This morning, when Shen Yang went to the palace to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Qiu Qiu returned to the room and found that there was another person in the room, and the person who came was Yingxiu who had followed Shen Yang from the Shen residence to the palace.

After Qiu Qiu came to the palace, he has been learning to manage the property of the palace with the big housekeeper. He seldom contacted the maids in Shen Yang's yard. Naturally, he didn't know anything about Yingxiu. He only knew that she was Shen Yang's dowry maid. And later married the second housekeeper of the palace.

The context made Qiu Qiu think that Yingxiu married the second housekeeper for Shen Yang's sake, and to stabilize Shen Yang's relationship in the palace, so she still has some respect for Yingxiu.

The purpose of Yingxiu's coming here is exactly what Qiu Qiu thought in his heart.

"I have been with the young master for many years, and now the young master married Bin Wang and became a lowly husband and wife. As a servant, I also feel heartbroken and sad for the young master."

"My lord is not lowly!" Qiu Qiu retorted with a frown.

Her demeanor and rebuttal made Yingxiu affirm the conjecture in her heart. Since she married the second steward, the latter no longer gained power and gradually lost her position in the palace. Yingxiu felt resentful and had to eat this bitter fruit.

However, the second housekeeper vented all his incompetence on Yingxiu, and repeatedly confronted Yingxiu when he was drunk. The daily torture made Yingxiu want to regret, and went to Shen Yang for help, but Ruxian Ruxin and Lanxi beside Shen Yang The aunt got closer, so she naturally knew Yingxiu's nature, so she never let Yingxiu get close to Shen Yang.

Yingxiu, who repeatedly hit the wall, transferred her resentment towards the second housekeeper to Shen Yang, until she learned that the person behind the second housekeeper turned out to be the Queen Mother, and she had her own calculations in mind.

In order to make meritorious service, get rid of the second housekeeper, and get rid of her status as a servant, Yingxiu keenly sensed that the recent atmosphere in the palace was not right, so Yingxiu looked at Qiu Qiu who didn't know her well and was close to the big housekeeper and Shen Yang. , to find out the news.

Yingxiu looked at Qiu Qiu and sighed deeply. Seeing the doubts on the latter's face, she slowly said: "Out of the palace, who would think highly of the young master?"

As she said that, Ying Xiu's eyes turned red, and she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe it, accidentally revealing the bruise on her forearm, Qiu Qiu's heart was shocked, seeing her looking at her forearm, Ying Xiu put down her sleeve in embarrassment .

"Sister Qiu Qiu, you came late, I don't know the hardships of the young master when he first arrived at the palace, I was also for the young master..."

Before the words were finished, Ying Xiu couldn't help crying again. Qiu Qiu gradually let go of her guard and stepped forward to comfort her with this gesture.

"My son will get better and better, don't be sad."

Yingxiu suddenly grabbed Qiu Qiu's wrist, and said with tears in her eyes:

"No, you don't understand, the young master has nothing now, he has broken with the Shen family, and Aunt Zhao has passed away, so the young master is left with only you and me, and we are the only ones who can help him!"

Qiu Qiu froze for a moment, the words 'Young Master and I are the only ones around' kept echoing in her mind, she pulled away Yingxiu's hand, lowered her eyes and said, "We are just servants, what can we do for you?"

"Sister, do you trust me?"

Hearing this, Qiu Qiu looked at Yingxiu, who had firm eyes, thinking that Yingxiu would not hesitate to marry the second housekeeper who was violent to him in order to help Shen Yang stabilize his position in the palace, Qiu Qiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Ying Xiu burst into tears and smiled, holding Qiu Qiu's hands.

"As long as you believe in me, young master, we are the only ones who can help him. As long as young master leaves the palace, he will definitely be able to be as energetic as the children of those aristocratic families, instead of being trapped in the palace and depressed."

Bewitched by Yingxiu's words, Qiu Qiu nodded again, Yingxiu smiled even more and whispered.

"Only we can help the young master, believe me..."

there's only us……

Qiu Qiu's eyes were in a trance, and he didn't realize that he was being covered by Yingshou.

Until Yingxiu left, Qiu Qiu felt uneasy, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, but he didn't know how to start, thinking of Yingxiu's words "Only we can help the young master" felt at ease again.

Yingxiu is the young master's dowry maid, even for the sake of the young master to marry the second housekeeper who is violent to her, she must care about the young master as much as herself...

must……

Qiu Qiu comforted himself, but the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He vaguely realized that he might have made a mistake, but he didn't want to admit it. When he got into the carriage and saw that there were no sleeves in the carriage, his uneasiness increased.

Did she do something wrong?Qiu Qiu didn't want to admit that she was doing it for the son, yes, she was doing it for the son...

She wants to help the young master...

Qiu Qiu was not the first group to leave the capital in order to persuade the big housekeeper to leave, because this matter is so important, so Qiu Qiu only knew a few old people in the palace who were arranged by Shen Yang to leave, and because Shen Yang brought them from the countryside The capital is often not in the mansion, and is taught by the big housekeeper to take care of the property of the palace. There are people who lead the way, although they are very talented, but they don't have much experience and don't have too many twists and turns, so they are taken advantage of by Ying Xiu.

It wasn't until Qiu Qiu didn't see where Yingxiu was in the carriage that Qiu Qiu realized what it was, but she didn't want to admit it, and while comforting herself that Yingxiu stayed in the palace like the butler for Shen Yang, she turned pale and sweated like rain.

When the carriage was stopped by soldiers who came prepared, Qiu Qiucai had to admit that she was cheated by Ying Xiu and broke down immediately, but no one took pity on her.

"I'm sorry son... I thought—"

Before finishing speaking, Shen Yang interrupted.

"You don't need to say any more." Shen Yang, who knew everything, said in a low tone, he looked at the hidden guards outside the carriage who were trying to stop the soldiers from approaching, without leaving Qiu Qiu a look, "There is no relationship between you and me. "

Qiu Qiu knelt in the carriage and broke down crying. With dim eyes, he saw Shen Yang walking out of the carriage. Aunt Lanxi and Ruxian worried that Shen Yang hurriedly followed.

"Stop, I'll go with you."

The front is for the hidden guards, and the back is for the soldiers who came prepared.

The dark guard received the order to return to Shen Yang's side. The night was thick, and by the dim candlelight, the dark guard's clothes were cut several times, oozing blood, each of which was fatal. If the dark guard was not experienced, he would have was seriously injured.

Even so, the dark guard was very powerless, and stood in front of Shen Yang with a pale face. He knew that he could not protect the princess today, so he had to desperately stop it.

But Shen Yang saw the dark guard's will to die, he didn't want to see anyone die because of him again.

A general with a higher position stepped out from among the soldiers, and Shen Yang led them out of the carriage with a calm tone.

"It's me you are going to arrest, and I will go with you, but the others let them go."

The leading general replied with a stiff tone, "Forgive me at the end, I can't do what the princess wishes."

"They are just lowly servants and businessmen, not worthy of being like me. As for the people who fight with you, they are just desperadoes hired by me, and you don't need to work hard."

Everyone in Ruxian heard that Shen Yang said such words in order to save them, and suppressed tears not to show any other expressions.

Even so, the general still didn't believe it and kept silent.

Shen Yang clenched his fists, "I am the one the Queen Mother wants to see, not these lowly servants. Killing them will dirty the adults' hands instead."

Seeing Shen Yang's insistence, the general took a step back, thinking that the Queen Mother only said to take Princess Bin back, but didn't say that she would kill everyone.

"In that case, Princess Bin, please."

Shen Yang took a step forward, and Aunt Lanxi behind her called softly.

"Master..."

Shen Yang's footsteps did not stop, tears flashed in the corners of Aunt Lan Xi's eyes, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of a sharp cold light heading towards Shen Yang, she rushed towards Shen Yang before she had time to think.

Shen Yang was staggered a step by Aunt Lanxi, and there was the sound of a sharp weapon whizzing by in his ears, and then there was a 'squeak', the sound of the sharp weapon piercing the skin and spraying blood.

The wind at night was very cold, making Shen Yang stiff from the cold, he turned his head to look.

Aunt Lan Xi's neck was cut with blood and fell to the ground slowly. The sharp weapon was stained with poison. Aunt Lan Xi looked at Shen Yang before she died, as if hiding a thousand words.

'Bump—', the body fell to the ground and raised dust.
