A traitor

At night, in the silent palace, candles were quietly burning.

Du Shiqi sat on the pear wood floor, facing a bronze mirror in front of her to do her makeup, and there were bright red brocade curtains hanging around, fluttering gently in the breeze.

A court lady came to the long bronze lantern made of crane, picked up the wick with a silver needle, and put the gauze cover in her hand on it, and then Du Shiqi said: "Go down."

The palace lady saluted in response, and just closed the door and went out.The next moment, a long sword touched Du Shiqi's neck.

Du Shiqi was startled, looking at Qin Huan's figure reflected in the bronze mirror, quickly calmed down, and said with a slight smile: "My lord, aren't you afraid of danger when you walk around the palace with weapons in the middle of the night?"

"shut up!"

Qin Huan frowned tightly, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand: "Let me ask you, did you arrange Wan Yuzhen's matter?"

Du Shiqi lowered her eyes slowly: "What Shiqi did, every word and deed, was ordered by the Xiangye. If you have something to say, you might as well ask the Xiangye."

"You push it cleanly." Qin Huan smiled coldly: "You said it was for father, so could it be that the matter of framing Qinglang was also for father?"

"Father let you enter the palace to help him accomplish great things, not to avenge his personal revenge. Who gave you the courage to hurt Qinglang!"

Du Shiqi raised her head and said again: "Young Master, I have already said that what Shiqi did was ordered by the Prime Minister, and she did not make her own decisions."

"How dare you lie..." Qin Huan was furious, and Jian Feng approached her a little bit.

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a cold reprimand from behind the curtain: "It was the truth, why are you dissatisfied?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Huan was startled, and subconsciously followed the source of the voice, and sure enough, he saw Qin Jian walking towards him with a grim expression.

He was a little stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe it, this matter was really what Du Shiqi said.

After being stunned for a moment, he said, "Father...Father..."

Qin Jian came to him with a gloomy face, looked at Qin Huan and said, "Huan'er, you let me down so much!"

Seeing that he still pressed the sword edge on Du Shiqi's neck, he couldn't help but frowned, and said angrily: "You don't have to put down the sword for me!"

Hearing this, Qin Huan looked back at Du Shiqi, hesitating for a while, and after a while, he still reluctantly withdrew his long sword.

Du Shiqi sat on the ground, adjusted her posture and knelt down, kowtowed to Qin Jian, and then slowly retreated.

For a while, there were only the two of them in the huge palace.

In fact, from the very beginning, Du Shiqi and Jia Siqi did it secretly, with the purpose of squeezing Su Qinglang out of Qin Jian, so as to support Jia Siqi in the position.

Now that Wan Yuzhen has lost power, Su Qinglang's available value is a little less, and Qin Jian's reliance on him is naturally a little less.

Coupled with the matter of Qin Huan, Qin Jian has long been dissatisfied with Su Qinglang.Therefore, they cleverly took advantage of Qin Jian's mentality, put all their eggs in one basket, and took risks. Fortunately, after hearing their analysis, Qin Jian did not get angry, but agreed to their plan.

In the world, there is no father who would like his son to be a broken sleeve.

In the past, how did Su Qinglang use Qin Huan to climb up.Now, how to fall from the clouds.

Seeing Qin Jian and Du Shiqi standing aside, Qin Huan said anxiously: "Father, Qinglang has helped us a lot and has always been loyal to his father. You can't treat him like this!"

"Huan'er!" Qin Jian roared angrily seeing him panicking.

Immediately afterwards, the expression between the eyebrows turned into sadness: "Huan'er, you have been trapped for so many years, are you really unable to get out?"

Facing Qin Jian's gaze, Qin Huan felt ashamed for a moment, his gaze flickered: "Father, I..."

Before he could say anything, he heard Qin Jianyu say earnestly: "Huan'er, dad will only give you the best. When our big event is over, the beauty of the country, the power and position, do you want anything? The world is better than Su." There are so many people who are clear and good, why do you insist on being attached to him?"

"No more, father!"

Qin Huan roared angrily. The father and son had been dependent on each other for many years. This was the first time that he and Qin Jian had such a fierce quarrel.

Because of anxiety, there were tears in his eyes, and he didn't want to be seen by his father, so he quickly lowered his head. He buried his head, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Father, the beauty of the country, the power and position, is the high throne, you give me What's the use of being the best, I only want Su Qinglang, what's the use of being the best in the world, in my eyes, no one can compare to him, I... I really... can't get out... "

As he spoke, he knelt down at Qin Jian's feet with a plop, his face was wet with tears like rain, and he kowtowed deeply to Qin Jian: "Father, I have never asked you for anything since I grew up. This time, I beg you, please let him go, if you want to kill him, kill me first..."

Qin Jian looked at him with regret, and tightened his fists in his wide sleeves: "You... how dare you threaten me..."

Qin Huan raised his face, looked at Qin Jian, and smiled bitterly: "This is not a threat. Five years ago, I did one wrong thing. I almost pushed him to death for my own selfish desires, but I didn't have enough ability to protect him." He, caused him to suffer a lot, from the moment I picked him up from the prison, I swore to myself that I would never let him suffer any more harm in this life, if..."

He paused, still weeping: "Today he must die, and that child will follow by his side, on the way to Huangquan, so that he can accompany him for a ride."

He said, and kowtowed again to Qin Jian: "Father's kindness in nurturing, the child will repay it in the next life, I hope the father will cherish it in the future, and the child will not be here."

Qin Jian watched helplessly as he picked up the long sword in his hand, pulled out the blade and pressed it against his neck. When he was about to strike, he finally couldn't bear it: "Huan'er..."

He stretched out his hand to Qin Huan, and the moment he was about to touch him, he paused again, and finally retracted it, hiding it in his sleeve and tightening his fingers: "Okay, I promise you."

Hearing this, Qin Huan immediately raised his head to look at Qin Jian, and heard him say, "You said you didn't have enough ability to protect that person five years ago. Then, let my father see now, how far you have grown, I will show you how far you have grown." You won't touch that person for three days, after three days... you can do it yourself."

Three days later, if Su Qinglang can't be rescued, but Qin Jian still hides so many secrets in him, it is self-evident that he will be greeted next.

Seeing Qin Jian let go, Qin Huan was very happy, knelt on the ground and cupped his hands: "Thank you, father!"

Qin Jian raised his hand and said to him condescendingly: "This is the last time for my father to make concessions for you, do you understand?"

Qin Huan was taken aback, then nodded solemnly: "My child understands."

In the dungeon, Su Qinglang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, hearing the sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, it was Mei Liusheng.

He adjusted a posture with his legs curled up and sat down, pretending to be leisurely and said: "I don't see you being so active on weekdays, but today you are running to the prison together in a crowd. I just sent one away, and Brother Mei came again. That's how I like it." Do you think I am unlucky?"

Knowing that he wanted to reassure himself, Mei Liusheng did not show any signs of bitterness and hatred, and said in a calm tone: "Let me see if there is anything I can do for you."

Su Qinglang pouted into the prison cell, and said: "Here, I brought clothes, quilts, pillows, and even a teapot. What you know is that I'm in prison, but what you don't know is that I'm tired of living in the mansion and came to the prison Play in China for two days to experience life."

Mei Liusheng looked in the direction he indicated, and sure enough there were a lot of things piled up in a corner of the cell, the son of the prime minister, Qin Huan, the princess of Wuyang, Li Saisai, Sun Zizhong, and Su Qinglang's second wife, Liang, and even eight poles. Cai Jun who couldn't reach them all came, and these things were naturally brought by them.

He smiled slightly and said, "It seems that I am worrying too much."

Su Qinglang also smiled, looked up at the light coming from a small hole in the opposite cell wall, and said: "Actually, it's not that there is no peach blossom outside. The peach blossoms outside must be blooming very well. If Brother Mei has the heart, he will break it for me." Let's have a peach blossom."

Mei Liusheng nodded: "Okay..."

Turning to see the butler of the Shangshu Mansion, he looked this way with his head probed. He should report something urgent to Su Qinglang, and said: "Then I will come to see you tomorrow."

Su Qinglang hummed, and watched him leave. He didn't stand up until the housekeeper came to him, walked to the cell door and asked him, "How is it? Did you find Chen Wenxuan?"

The housekeeper knelt on the ground with a plop: "My lord, kill me..."

Su Qinglang took a step back, feeling something was wrong in his heart, he still calmed down and asked: "What, what's going on?"

The butler raised his head and replied: "Our people were originally guarding the Chen residence, but unexpectedly, a group of men in black rushed out and snatched the person surnamed Chen."

Su Qinglang frowned tightly, and asked: "That person..."

The butler hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, seeing that they were going to rob people, our people also rushed out. At that time, I heard that there were two teams of men in black, who came out of nowhere.

But they were obviously not in the same group as the original ones, and when the gangsters stood up, the one surnamed Chen took the opportunity to run away, and now it has not fallen into anyone's hands. "

Su Qinglang hummed, and then felt a little relieved. For him, Chen Wenxuan is still alive, which is the best news.

He thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Go and tell the people below, send more people, and find Chen Wenxuan before they do. Also, you must keep him alive, and you can't let him die. If necessary, find a way to find Chen Wenxuan. The Prime Minister is looking for Mr. Qin Huan."

The butler repeatedly agreed, which would delay the work, so he hurriedly resigned and left.

Su Qinglang was left behind, pacing in the prison in a state of distraught.It has to be said that this incident was really careless and was killed by that woman Wan Yuzhen!

Not far away, Mei Liusheng was hiding in the dark, his expression dim under the weak light.

Four teams, Su Qinglang's first team, his and Qin Jian's first team.So, who is the remaining one?

Is the purpose of the extra one to save Su Qinglang, or to put him to death?
