I was a princess in ancient times

The room suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence, only the breathing of the British princess became heavier and heavier.She wanted to push Qi Boxuan away fiercely, but her whole body was limp and she couldn't lift up any strength.

The maid who had been frightened for a long time finally woke up from the shock.

She covered her mouth and tiptoed towards the door, but unfortunately she was too excited when she was about to walk out of the room, and accidentally kicked the door panel.

The maid froze for a moment, then immediately lifted the corner of her skirt and ran out, as if there was a scourge chasing her.

Qi Boxuan looked over after hearing the sound, and asked Mrs. Yingying with great interest, "Mother, do you think she will go to Aye, or to go to Brother?"

The British Duchess closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing silently.

evil creature!

Qi Baixuan was not disappointed when he didn't get a response, and said to himself, "Since I can remember, Aye and Aniang have been in love for forty years, and they have never quarreled over anything. This time Aye is doing it for the benefit of the family Giving up on A Niang, I must feel ashamed. If A Niang doesn’t know that Xuelian has entered my belly, with Aye’s temperament, I should try my best to make up for A Niang in the remaining days of A Niang.”

The eyelids of the British princess began to tremble violently at some point.

shut up!

She doesn't want to hear it!

Fake, all fake!

However, in her mind, the British princess who suddenly became tender and affectionate in the past few days inevitably appeared in her mind, as if back when they were just married, when she ate nuts, the British princess peeled the skin and cut it into small pieces .

Donglang clearly hates the fruit juice stained on his hands the most, the most.

When the old Duke was dying, he seldom had the appetite to eat fruit, so Dong Lang just picked out the freshest fruit and handed it to his younger brother.

"It's a pity." Qi Boxuan's sigh interrupted Mrs. Ying's thoughts, "Now that Auntie knows the whereabouts of Xuelian, Aye must not want to see the hatred in Auntie's eyes."

He suddenly let out a chuckle of unknown meaning, "I never thought that Aye would not reveal such an important matter to A Niang at all."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will tell Aye the truth about the mistakes I made today. No matter what punishment Aye imposes, I will never delay."

The British Duchess opened her eyes suddenly, her hatred almost turned into substance.

She knew the person beside her pillow far better than Qi Boxuan imagined, so she knew that Qi Boxuan was not lying.He also knew that even if she was pissed off by Qi Boxuan, Duke Ying would not take Qi Boxuan down.

At least he will not do anything that may cause Qi Baixuan's condition to worsen before Xuelian's 'principal' and 'interest' are recovered.

She has already lost a complete defeat, and she must not let this evil person see a joke again.

Qi Boxuan waited for a long time, but he still didn't wait for the British lady to speak, so he could only continue talking about things that might interest the British lady.

"Aye won't come, but I won't stop my brother from coming, unfortunately..." He shook his head again, "With my brother's character, I'm afraid I'm feeling so guilty about you that I can't lift my head up, and I can't muster up the courage to come to see you Although the eldest sister-in-law hates you, she loves brother very much, and may volunteer to visit you for elder brother when she finds out that brother wants to see you but is afraid of seeing you."

The British Duchess sneered.

Even if she had only her last breath left, that trash Yiyun didn't dare to disrespect her.

No one wants to see her jokes.

"Auntie." Qi Boxuan held the cold and weak hand of the British lady, and his always indifferent tone suddenly became gentle, "Don't blame my brother, if you have to name the person who most hopes that you will survive, this person must be Brother."

The British princess subconsciously slowed down her breathing, her expression was grim and she didn't know it.

No, the person who most hoped that she would survive must be Dong Lang.

"The hundred-year-old goddess Feng Xuelian sent back by Uncle Jiu can make five medicines, and my son will be out of danger after taking three medicines. Brother wants to give you a share from the remaining two snow lotuses. I can't afford to kneel in front of Ye, but it's a pity..."

A loud slap interrupted Qi Baixuan's words.

The British Duchess suddenly regained her strength and pushed away the person who was half-embracing her.

She sat upright again, with her raised chin as proud as ever, she didn't see the embarrassment of a moment ago, and even her tone was full of sarcasm.

"you hate me?"

This slap was full of anger and fear, and there was no restraint at all. It made Qi Baixuan's ears ringing, and he could hardly hear any sound.

Fortunately, he has another ear.

Qi Boxuan supported his hot face as if nothing had happened, turned his head that was eccentric, and looked at the British princess again, his eyes were full of sincerity, "I just can't bear you to live in illusion."

"I don't need to tell you about this, it's like telling a maid or a boy to let you be a happy mediocre person without knowing anything. What's the difference between this and putting you in a cage?"

"You were born to be the proud daughter of heaven, and the responsibilities you bear on your body are different from those of ordinary people. The pain you are suffering now is just a by-product of your many years of good clothing and good food."

Listening to the more and more familiar words, the British Duchess, the numb feeling of tearing in her chest became clear again.

"How many years ago did this happen, and you still have it in your heart?" she murmured.

Qi Baixuan ignored this sentence, and his tone was full of the elders' unique love, tolerance and expectations for the younger generation. When he sat opposite the British Duke and Duchess, it seemed strange, "As long as you can overcome your weakness and abandon your innocence." Necessary things will definitely bring the Qi family back to glory, this is your inherent responsibility as a descendant of the Qi family."

Mrs. Ying looked at Qi Boxuan silently, with anger and disappointment in her eyes.

"I am your mother. If I hadn't been pregnant in October, how could there be you?"

Qi Boxuan nodded in agreement, and explained to himself, "So I gave up on Yu Yu because of the family's interests, and watched her die in depression, but I never thought of sacrificing my mother for the family's interests."

"The one who gave up on Auntie is obviously Aye." He touched his face that was still hot, and said in a lazily elongated tone, "Why didn't Auntie blame Aye, but instead took it out on me?"

"Get out!" The British lady, who had just calmed down, became irritable again because of Qi Baixuan's words. She raised the teacup in her hand and slammed it at Qi Baixuan's forehead, and said out of breath, "I, I knew you were like this , evil! At the beginning, I, I should..."

Before she could finish speaking, the British princess vomited a big mouthful of blood again, and she couldn't tell the original dark red viscous hangs on the corner of her skirt, which didn't attract the attention of the two of them at all.

After vomiting blood one after another, the spirit of the British princess improved visibly. Not only her pale cheeks became rosy, but even her trembling fingers became stable again.

Qi Boxuan avoided the teacup in time, only half of his shoulder was drenched by the warm tea, the pity in his eyes was so pale that it was almost completely covered by indifference, "If I knew that A Niang thought so, I should have told A Niang when I was just born, You gave birth to a heartless obscurity."

He took out the dagger that was hidden in his arms when Qi Zhu and Chu Qingjiu were not paying attention, and returned to her side under the hateful eyes of the British princess.

At the moment when the sun was the most dazzling, the moment the dagger was unsheathed, the sudden condensed light almost made the two people with blurred eyes unable to see.

Qi Boxuan stuffed the dagger into the hands of the British princess based entirely on memory.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too late for A Niang to wake up now, let's see what color the Qi's blood flowing through my son's body is."

The Duchess of England clenched and loosened her hands, clenched again and loosened again, her eyes were flickering and flickering, full of complexity.

Qi Boxuan took half a step forward, and reminded him kindly, "If you don't do it now, if you want to do it later when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't even have the strength to lift a dagger."

"What is the flashback?" The British princess suddenly tightened her fingers, and her pupils dilated silently, followed by a fear that was hard to hide.

Facing his old mother who is about to die and can help him escape, Qi Boxuan is very patient.

He pondered for a moment, and tried to explain his judgment in words that the British Duchess could understand, "You are going to die soon, so your condition will improve without warning. Look, you vomited so much blood, and there are blood clots in it. So weak, but more relaxed than before."

Mrs. Ying followed Qi Boxuan's hand, staring blankly at the stain on the skirt.

No, no, no, she hasn't grown old with Dong Lang yet, how could...

Mrs. Ying suddenly pushed Qi Boxuan away, and ran out the door without looking back.

She doesn't believe it!

It must be the wickedness who lied to her!

When Qi Boxuan fell down, he stretched out his hand subconsciously, only feeling the touch of silk across his palm.

He changed his cross-legged posture, staring blankly at the door where there was no one there.

why?

Killing him would allow Aye to lose his wife, but at the same time, he would no longer be able to accomplish what Aye would rather give up his wife who had been with him for many years.

Why give up the opportunity to take revenge on Aye before dying?

Walking out of here, she is just a weak woman who is terminally ill.

If Aye was unwilling, she would not even have the chance to meet Aye.

After a long time, Qi Boxuan suddenly let out a laugh at someone, and lay down on his back relaxed.

He doesn't understand.

A Niang looked down on Yu Yu for half her life, but before she died, she did stupid things that Yu Yu would do.

ridiculous!

When the servants in the courtyard suddenly saw the British princess holding a dagger, they all showed horror, and for a while, they didn't dare to approach her easily.

In their memory, although the British princess has been weak and sick for many years, her prestige is far better than that of the old lady and Princess Yiyun.

Suddenly they saw the English lady with a disheveled hair bun, blood stained robes, and even one foot with a shoe on and the other barefoot... They really couldn't believe that this woman who looked like a crazy woman was the mistress of the Qi family. The super product commandment.

Before these people could react, the Duke and Duchess of England walked into the Duke's study as if no one was there.Only blood-stained footprints were left to prove to the servants that they were not hallucinating.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qi Baizhi quietly left the British residence.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qi Zhu and Qi Mei went to find Qi Baixuan at the residence of Mrs. Ying, and brought Qi Baixuan back to the sixth room.

Yu Heng was still sitting on the wide chair where Qi Boxuan was wearing a crown.

Through the bronze mirror, he looked at the man with a wrinkled and bloody look, his eyes gradually deepened.

Qi Boxuan thought his clothes were dirty and refused to sit down, so he casually ordered, "Go find me a sackcloth and change into it."

When the people who were supposed to perform their duties heard this sentence, they immediately froze in place, looking at the people around them in disbelief, trying to tell if there was something wrong with their ears.

Qi Boxuan didn't care what other people thought, he took off his dirty robe and lay back on the bed.

Qi Zhu and Qi Mei exchanged glances, and looked at Yu Heng questioningly, "Jun Wang?"

Yu Heng looked at Qi Zhu indifferently, then turned his head indifferently, without expressing any opinion.

He tried to recall something about the Duchess of England.

When Yu Yu passed away, Yu Heng lived in the main courtyard for half a month.

Because the time was too short, he didn't leave a deep impression on him. Now I only remember that the rules are very strict. You have to get the permission of the British princess for a few bites for breakfast and a few pieces for snacks.

If he failed to do so, the British princess would not reprimand him, but would just stare at him with disappointed eyes, and the servants in the main courtyard would also become very strange, avoiding him as if they were avoiding a scourge.

Although Yu Heng didn't like the main courtyard, for a long time, he had an obvious affection for the British princess.

Now that I think about it, the meager favor has almost nothing to do with the British duchess. It is all due to the old lady's tireless finding faults, and the British duchess who occasionally protects him is worth getting close to.

Yu Heng withdrew his gaze towards the main courtyard, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

There is no need for any more intersections.

Qi Boxuan had just gone through life and death difficulties, and just walked around the residence of the British wife, and then lost energy, and fell asleep unknowingly.

When he woke up, it was completely dark.

Being in a space where you can't see your fingers, it is easy for people to have the illusion of not knowing what is going on.

Qi Boxuan stared blankly at the bed curtain.

It seemed to be a dream, but I couldn't remember the content of the dream.

Forget it, why bother yourself?

He reached out to touch the golden bell on the bed and shook it gently.

The golden bell is wrapped with silk thread, and the golden bell at the other end is in the compartment, which can call the night watchman.

"You're awake." A resentful voice came from the corner.

Somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it, it must not be a servant at home.

Qi Boxuan was neither afraid of death nor ghosts, and asked with a normal expression, "Who are you?"

Ji Xinxue sneered, "I'm the unlucky one who was tricked by you."

After he left the British residence, he went straight to Princess Anguo's residence to wait for Yu Heng. He waited and waited for no one, and there was a curfew soon, so he had to come to the British residence again.

Only then did I know that Qi Boxuan said that Mrs. Ying is going soon...Yu Heng deliberately stayed for Dai Xiao.

Yu Heng had already fallen asleep, but Ji Xinxue couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she came to see if Qi Boxuan's conscience was hurting, and if she was having nightmares, but Qi Boxuan just woke up at night.

Qi Baixuan fell silent

He... doesn't seem to be cheating recently?

Ji Xinxue was not interested in playing charades with Qi Baixuan, so she asked straight to the point, "Who is Chu Qingjiu?"

"Your Highness Fifth?" Qi Boxuan asked back.

Ji Xinxue sneered again.

The reaction was quick, and he could immediately judge who would care about Chu Qingjiu.

He asked again, "Who is Chu Qingjiu?"

Qi Baixuan sat up slowly, "I met Qianqian when I went to Jiangnan to take office. He was a businessman. When his parents took him away from his relatives, he met robbers. All the elders in the direct line died. Powerful poor relatives."

"At that time, he was only five years old. I thought he was pitiful, so I took him by my side as a servant."

Complexity appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

A five-year-old businessman and a young and strong poor relative, one can imagine what would have happened to Chu Qingjiu if he hadn't met Qi Baixuan.

But this is not the reason why Chu Qingjiu's eyebrows are five points similar to Yu Heng's, and he was named by Qi Boxuan.

Ji Xinxue didn't want to know about Chu Qingjiu's background, but only wanted to know why Qi Baixuan raised Chu Qingjiu.

"Why is his first name Chu Qingjiu and his nickname Qianqian?" Ji Xinxue asked.

Qi Boxuan in the bed tent had an indifferent expression, and he looked like two completely different people from the laughing Yan Yan when he faced the British princess in the afternoon.

He raised his head to look at the still invisible bed curtain, and patiently explained, "His parents didn't leave any direct elders, so it can be seen that Feng Shui is not very good, so he was also implicated, so he changed his name casually." .”

"Qianqian's ancestors were born in the land of Jingchu. It is best to use Chu as the surname to avoid disasters. Qingjiu comes from the poems of the predecessors. I happened to be reading poetry anthology that day." Most of the people who have suffered a lot of disasters are born with the wrong gender, and the King of Hades wants to recruit him back. To make things right, he should be given a nickname that is opposite to his gender. Qianqian is a gentleman, so he should be given a nickname that girls usually use."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the sarcasm in his eyes became more and more intense.

Did he happen to be flipping through an anthology of poetry, or did he deliberately flip through an anthology of poetry because he wanted to rename Chu Qingjiu?

No matter how good Qi Boxuan is to Chu Qingjiu, he has no right to question it, but he will be worthless for Yu Heng.

Just thinking of when Yu Heng was alone facing the wolves, tigers and leopards of the British government, and Qi Baixuan was caring for Chu Qingjiu who looked like Yu Heng in every possible way in the south of the Yangtze River, Ji Xinxue would feel terribly sick.

He lost all patience, and asked directly, "You will raise Chu Qingjiu by your side, name him, support him, is it related to Feng Lang?"

Qi Boxuan suddenly fell into memory and did not answer for a long time.

It wasn't until Ji Xinxue turned around aggressively that Qi Baixuan asked in a tone of hidden satisfaction, "Do you think he looks like Feng Lang? How similar?"

Ji Xinxue gritted her teeth, he had never seen such a brazen person!

Dare to find a substitute for Feng Lang?

He promised that after tonight, Qi Boxuan would never want to see Chu Qingjiu again!

In just a few breaths, Ji Xinxue has already made a careful plan.

Not only will he not let Qi Baixuan and Chu Qingjiu meet again, but he will also find a godfather for Chu Qingjiu, who will be included in the family tree and change his name and surname!

Qi Baixuan seemed to feel Ji Xinxue's anger, and suddenly let out a very hearty laugh, "When I left Chang'an, Fenglang was eight years old. He grew faster than others since he was a child, and he has reached my waist. When I met Qianqian, Qianqian He is only five years old, and he grows slower than ordinary people, only reaching my knees. Besides, Feng Lang is calm and proud, and Qian Qian is weak and lively, apart from black hair and phoenix eyes, where are they similar?"

Ji Xinxue folded her arms in silence for a while, then suddenly strode towards the Babu bed, and lifted the bed curtain without warning.

The recent trip to the ghost gate made Qi Baixuan's hair more silvery white, and he looked older than before, but his improvement has obviously improved, at least he no longer looks like he was hollowed out by wine.

At this time, he was hugging the brocade quilt and smiling, as if he heard a joke that would please his body and mind.

Ji Xinxue stared fixedly at Qi Boxuan, her brows were serious, "You better not lie."

Otherwise, both Qi Boxuan and Chu Qingjiu would have to pay for it.

Yu Heng, who was outside the door, put down his hands and looked sideways at Chu Qingjiu who was following behind him. The depth in his eyes did not decrease, but became more and more intense.

Poor Chu Qingjiu didn't even dare to breathe, she wished she could carve the word 'grievance' on her forehead.

The Patriarch of the Sanqing is above, how dare he overestimate his capabilities and compare with the county king?

Even the big man and the girl are also his masters.

He was just lucky to appear in front of Liu Lang when Liu Lang was most patient.

If... If he had appeared when Liu Lang was indulging in debauchery, he might not be lucky enough to be by Liu Lang's side today.

When Ji Xinxue went out, Chu Qingjiu knelt down consciously, wishing she could shrink into a quail, without any sense of existence.Yu Heng's eyes were still focused on Chu Qingjiu, but his eyes were not disgust, but complex that even Ji Xinxue couldn't understand.

He lowered his head and said to Chu Qingjiu, "Go and pour Qi Honglu a glass of warm water."

Chu Qingjiu raised her head cautiously and peeked at Yu Heng's face, seeing that Yu Heng didn't stop, got up from the ground and ran towards the room in one go, as fast as a rabbit being chased by a hungry wolf.

Ji Xinxue shook her head, clasped fingers with Yu Heng naturally, and asked, "Do you want to go in and see him?"

Yu Heng directly turned around with Ji Xinxue, and left without hesitation.

They returned to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, and wandered around the elm trees in the courtyard, and no one mentioned the matter of going back to the room to rest.

"Chu Qingjiu is not like me." Yu Heng said suddenly, "He is more like Auntie, especially when he is timid, the delicate and naive expression between his brows is most like Auntie. But they are different, and they will never Someone made a mistake."

Ji Xinxue nodded half understanding.

Of course not.

One is Princess Xianglin who is backed by Princess Anguo's Mansion, and the other is the son of a merchant who relies on Qi Baixuan's kindness.Even when you are afraid, your confidence is completely different.

If Qi Boxuan took Chu Qingjiu as a substitute for Princess Lu...

Tsk, what a scumbag.

However, it was not Yu Heng who was scumbag. Although he was worthless for Princess Lu, he would not cross Yu Heng and interfere with Qi Baixuan and Chu Qingjiu.

Yu Heng stopped in front of the elm tree with the thick waist of an adult man, hugged Ji Xinxue tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "He resents me for not letting him die, so he deliberately refuses to clarify the origin of that person."

Before Ji Xinxue could figure out how to speak, a sneer sounded on the side of her neck, "When I wanted to do something before, he didn't let me do it, so why should I let him do it so easily?"

The green leaves fell along the spring breeze, and before they fell, they were picked into the hands by the bony fingers.

Ji Xinxue patted Yu Heng's vest lightly, and suddenly thought of Concubine Zhong Shu.

Things have been busy recently, and he hasn't visited her in Zhuangzi for a long time.

Maybe we should choose a house in Chang'an that is convenient enough and big enough to at least accommodate Concubine Zhong Shu's pets.

Neither Ji Xinxue nor Yu Heng recognizes the bed, as long as the other is by their side, even a straw mat can fall asleep.

Emperor Changping sympathized with their hard work and acquiesced that they did not have to go to the Dachaohui and Xiaochaohui this month.The two people who slept late the day before yesterday, as a matter of course, slept until midnight when they were awakened by the sound of howling.

The Duchess of England is dead.

Ji Xinxue arched into Yu Heng's arms again, but after all, she couldn't hide her ears.

He sat up with his eyebrows pinched, completely unable to empathize with the crying outside.Not only is it not sad, but there is even the illusion of sudden unblocked constipation.

at last……

Half an hour later, Ji Xinxue learned from Qi Zhu the reason why Qi Baixuan "lied about the military situation".

Yesterday Yinggong went to Cui Taishi's residence as a guest, Qi Baizhi rushed to Cui Taishi's residence, not only failed to call Yingying Gong back, but stayed in Cui Taishi's residence, never came back.

Neither Princess Yiyun nor Mrs. Zheng wanted to cause trouble. One went back to her mother's house, the other pretended to be sick, and ignored the British princess.

The servant neither dared to bother the obviously abnormal British Duchess, nor did he dare to ask Qi Boxuan to visit the British Duchess.

So after the British princess rushed to the study in a panic, she stayed there alone all the time. Only the servants would check the time and ask her through the window if she wanted to eat and medicine.

The servant was afraid of being angered, so he only asked three times.

If the Duchess of England doesn't answer, they don't ask again.

From yesterday to today, the servant really has no reason to continue to delay.

They were worried that with the physical condition of the British Duchess, if she didn't eat or take medicine all day, her condition would worsen, so they had to bite the bullet and open the door of the study.

Then they saw the British princess, who was completely cold, staring at the door with death.

"They said Madam's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and there were traces of blood and tears on her face, and she was extremely unwilling when she wanted to come and go." Qi Zhu's red and swollen eye sockets were full of tears, but no tears.

Even an old lady from an ordinary family would not be so disgraceful when she died of a long illness.

Ji Xinxue rubbed her arms, looked around subconsciously, and was suddenly embraced by the familiar warmth from behind, followed by a reassuring voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
