Prince’s Brutal Consort - C61
Demons.
Clearly, someone had already checked it, but he still wanted to check it.
“Brother, it seems like it’s too hard for us to even get home. How about we get off the car and go to the restaurant across the street to have a midnight snack? Oh right, should we go together?” If she hadn’t known that he was Qin Zhiqing, she definitely wouldn’t have guessed it. That was because her brother’s voice had changed too, and it was impossible for her to change her voice like that.
Outside of the carriage, Ximen Ruixue was riding on a white horse. Her white horse was especially black against his hair. Yet, it was also extremely eye-catching. Damn it, why was this man so handsome that even the coachman was staring at him?
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a man? He is far inferior to my second brother. “Brother, come here, I’ll carry you down.” Qin Zhiqing reached out to hug her.
If he was confused, was he really going to get off?
She didn’t dare say a word.
The moment he said it, Xi Men Rui Xue would immediately know that she was Qin Zhiruo.
Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, he was unable to discuss with Qin Zhiqing in front of Ximen Ruixue. Ah Wang timely helped him out, “Young Master, Second Young Master’s throat is inflamed. It’s best if you don’t go to a restaurant on the street and eat supper. If you don’t, Second Young Master won’t be able to speak for the rest of his life.”
Qin Zhiqing slapped his forehead, “Look, how could I have forgotten about that? Then I won’t be eating. But I’m really hungry. I’ll go buy some snacks and bring some fruits for my second brother. This should be enough, right?”
With that, Qin Zhiqing did not wait for Fang Xing and Fang Xing to respond. Instead, he threw Fang Xing into the carriage and watched as Xi Men Rui Xue walked a few steps away.
Ruo Ruo became calm.
In this world, those who escaped would hide as far away as they could when they met someone chasing them, but Qin Zhiqing did the opposite. He did not run away, nor did he hide.
The calmer they were, the more calm they were, and the harder it was for anyone to find a flaw in them. As expected, Xi Men Rui Xue only glanced at Zhiruo in the carriage for a second before she turned around and headed to the end of the street.
Seeing him leave, Ruo Ruo finally let out a sigh of relief.
She couldn’t help but give chase. That streak of white was so eye-catching that she couldn’t help but look at it again and again.
If he had known earlier on that day would come, why would he have saved her?
“Wan, let’s go.” Soon, Qin Zhiqing saw that Xi Men Rui Xue had finally disappeared. He turned around to leave with Zhiruo.
The carriage sped by. The more they passed, the more remote the road became. When they reached a corner, Qin Zhiqing said, “Zhiruo, get off the carriage.”
Without waiting for her response, he got off the carriage and grabbed her hand as they flew away. In the darkness, she could clearly hear the breathing sounds of each other. She did not know where her second brother was bringing her to, but the vague shadow of the wall not far away told her that they seemed to have arrived near the walls of the capital.
“Second Brother, are we leaving the city?” However, there were no city gates nearby. If the city walls were so high, he really did not know how to get out.
“Shh, there’s someone up there. Don’t make a sound, just follow me.” Qin Zhiqing stopped and whispered into her ear.
If she was obedient enough to not say anything else, since she chose to believe, then she might as well believe it.
Qin Zhiqing let go of Zhiruo’s hand and bent down to fiddle with the wall for a while. When he stood up, Zhiruo saw a bright hole in the wall, from which a faint light leaked out. Inside the hole, a man said, “Second Young Master, everything is normal.
Sure enough, everything had been planned out. Ruo Ruo followed Qin Zhiqing and jumped into the tunnel. The hole behind her was also sealed up.
This time, her escape was a real success.
The narrow passage was not long, and after about a minute of walking, they reached the exit.
That’s right, we’re just going to circle around the city walls, that’s all.
Qin Zhiqing helped her climb out of the cave. When she breathed in the fresh air outside the city, she felt as if her entire body was filled with the smell of freedom.
Zhiruo happily embraced Qin Zhiqing, “Second Brother, thank you.” Now that she was finally out, she no longer had to go to a place like Fragrance Pavilion. Just thinking about it made her feel beautiful.
“Hehe, what’s there to thank? As long as Ruo Ruo is happy.”
“Second Brother, why are you so good to me?” She raised her face to ask Qin Zhiqing. He would always appear when she was at her most distressed before trying to think of a way to help her.
Qin Zhiqing pampered her a little, “Because you are Ruo Ruo.” Therefore, he wanted to spoil her.
“Second Brother, you are so good.” With him around, she would be able to slip away from under Ximen Ruixue’s nose and deal with everything calmly and calmly. She thought that of all the people she had seen, only Qin Zhiqing had the ability to do so.
In the face of danger, there was no chaos. In the face of wind and rain, there was no fear.
“Let’s go, or else I can’t guarantee what will happen next.”
“No, but even if it happens, I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid with second brother here.” What was needed to escape from this place was not only a thorough plan, but also a timely reaction and performance. Although this could not be planned in advance, one could see a person’s true intellect.
“Hehe, let’s go. I have a present for you.” Qin Zhiqing smiled as he held her hand and left.
The forest was filled with the rustling of the leaves in the wind. Qin Zhiqing held her hand as they walked faster and faster, so fast that Ruo Ruo couldn’t keep up. “Second Brother, what gift is it?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
The closer she got, the closer she got to the woods, but she couldn’t see anything.
Suddenly, just as Zhiruo was at a loss, a voice came from the woods, “Zhiqing, is that you and Zhiruo?”
That voice was very clear in the quiet night, as if it was surprised.
It was actually his mother.
She was the mother that she wholeheartedly wanted to bring out.
“Zhiqing, you’re bad.” He hit Qin Zhiqing’s chest with his hand, “You still said that you didn’t have time to bring your mother out. So it turns out you’ve already done that a long time ago, and you’re still lying to me.”
“Beat it, but don’t tell me you’re not happy right now.” Qin Zhiqing’s eyes shone brightly in the darkness of the night with a smile that didn’t seem to contain any impurities. It was as if he was telling her to be happy and to give her a pleasant surprise.
“Zhiruo, it really is you. Come quickly, let the Empress see you.” Xiu Wanru rushed over in quick steps, grabbing her hand as she gazed at her from within the darkness, as if she wanted to see her heart.
“Ruo Ruo, mother has let you down.”
“Mom, look at what you’re saying. If it’s not good, then I’ll make you worry.”
“Aunt Wan, we shouldn’t stay here for long. Get on the carriage, we can talk to you once we get on.” Qin Zhiqing’s gaze swept the surroundings as he urged them on cautiously.
“Alright, Ruo Ruo, get in the car.” Xiu Wanru, who was holding Zhiruo’s hand, boarded the long prepared carriage, but before she could sit properly, she said, “Zhiqing, you come up too. I have something to say.”
“Mom, what’s the rush? In the future, we’ll have plenty of time to talk.”
“Ruo Ruo, your mother is about to get off after saying her piece. Your mother won’t leave the capital with you. Your mother wants to return to the Qin family.”
“Mom, why?” It was really pedantic, why did he have to return to the cage? Since he had already left, then he would never return again.
Just as Zhiruo was wondering about her mother’s choice, Qin Zhiqing had already jumped onto the carriage. Xiu Wanru gently placed Zhiruo’s hand on Qin Zhiqing’s, “Zhiqing, Aunt Wan has handed Zhiruo over to you. From now on, you must treat her well.”
This… What did that mean?
Ruo Ruo was confused. “Mother, second brother has always been very good to me.”
“Idiot, Mother still doesn’t know what you are thinking.” She pointed her finger at Ruo Ruo’s forehead, then said with a smile, “My daughter, Ruo’er, you promised your entire life in the morning. If it wasn’t for that imperial edict …” “You guys …” “Why would Mother want you to marry that fool? Ximen Rui Wu only loves Su Ming, so he will never give you happiness. However, you are just a thorn in the eyes of the Empress if you stay in the capital. Ruo’er, if you don’t leave, you will be killed by him sooner or later.”
Yes, she knew, she had always known.
“Mother, why does the empress hate me so much?” Why is she so intent on killing me? ” This question had puzzled her for a long time. She really, really wanted to know the answer.
Xiu Wanru shook her head gently. “I don’t know why, but I only know that when you entered the palace and left the palace, esteemed Empress ordered for you to be given to the Martial King. Ruo’er, she wants you dead, because everyone in the capital knows that the Martial King was dying.”
Ruo Ruo shook her head, still not understanding, “Mother, why did you marry the Martial King again? I think it’s just to make me unhappy. ”
“If you wish to, do you know that you will become the wife of that Ximen Rui Wu? If he dies, you will also die. Foolish child, you will no longer remember the past.”
Ruo Ruo’s heart immediately turned heavy. So it was like this. “Mother, do all the princes who marry this Xi Jin want their men to die just like that?” She still didn’t understand. If that was the case, then if the Emperor really died, wouldn’t Yun Ru Xi be buried along with him?
“Ruo Ruo, that’s not it. When Xi Men Rui was born, there was a scholar who made a divination for him. He only said that if he went, then he must bring his wife with him. Otherwise, Xi Jin will never have peace.”
