Xin Yi's mind buzzed.

Zhang Xun saved Fu Jiuqu's life and became life-and-death friends with him. If Zhou Yiliu was injured tonight because he saved Fu Jiuqu, would Fu Jiuqu still refuse to accept her as his concubine in the future?

no!

Such bloody plots cannot appear in her story!

In the flash of lightning, Xin Yi barely had time to think. The moment Zhou Yiliu pounced on Fu Jiuqu, he grabbed her hair and pressed her hard against the edge of the bed. At the same time, he threw a pillow towards the man in black...

"Ah!" Zhou Yiliu screamed, unable to hold back his body, and bumped towards Xin Yi.

Xin Yi made two quick movements in one go, but failed to avoid Zhou Yiliu and was caught firmly by her.

I don't know whether it was sincerity or intentional, but Zhou Yiliu's grip was so hard that he dug his sharp nails directly from Xin Yi's neck, grabbed her collar, and pulled hard again when she stood up, almost tearing off half of her clothes.

Pull open.

Fortunately she was wearing a bra, otherwise she would have been exposed.

Xin Yi secretly rejoiced. She pushed Zhou Yiliu away and turned to Fu Jiuqu, throwing out her arms to help. She didn't realize that Zhou Yiliu was staring blankly at the golden doll hanging with a red rope around her neck, and her expression changed...

Fu Jiuqu was very skillful and the man holding the knife could not hurt him. When Xin Yi turned around, he only saw the man in black standing there with his eyes widened and an exaggerated expression.

The long sword penetrated his chest, blood spurted out, and the man in black slowly fell to the ground, breathing out the last sigh of his life.

"Prince, are you okay?" Zhou Yiliu stood up holding the edge of the bed with a pale face.

Fu Jiuqu didn't answer her, but took out his whistle and blew a sharp whistle.

"Zui——"

In the dark night when the fire was everywhere, the whistle sounded far away.

On the eaves of the inn, a shadow of arrows fell like raindrops.

"No, there's an ambush!"

A group of men in black who were fighting outside the door were caught off guard and fell into a hail of arrows. They no longer cared about Cheng Cang and Duan Sui and rushed in frantically.

"kill!"

"Kill this dog official and eliminate harm for the people!"

Men in black came over like a tide.

Fu Jiuqu waved his sword to block the attack and shouted coldly in a deep voice.

"Huang Sheng, what are you waiting for?"

The clanging sound of bows, knives, and crossbows filled the inn, and Huang Sheng's voice suddenly rang out.

"Come, come. Prince, aren't you waiting for your call?"

In the light of the sky, Huang Shenglang smiled and led a group of soldiers into the guest room.

Behind him are rows of archers.

"If you don't want to die, why don't you give up your weapons and surrender?!"

The men in black looked at each other, and some of them dropped their weapons when surrounded by archers before they could react.

Huang Sheng clasped his fists and saluted Fu Jiuqu, then looked around and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I thought these bitches had the guts to assassinate the prince, so they were somewhat capable. Who knew they were a bunch of fucking trash?"

Fu Jiuqu smiled slightly and said, "Killing a chicken with an ox's knife is more efficient."

Duan Sui put away the knife while panting, and said with a smile: "Master Jiu, look at these chickens, are they stones or cotton?"

Fu Jiuqu: "It's cloth."

Duan Sui was stunned.

What does cloth mean?

~

The assassin in black was defeated and captured on the spot, but the fire burned all night before it was extinguished.

How Fu Jiuqu will deal with the aftermath and who sent these men in black are not matters that Xin Yi should be concerned about at the moment.

What surprised her was why Zhou Yiliu appeared in Yuezhou, and whether Fu Jiuqu knew about it...

The inn could no longer be accommodated, and Fu Jiuqu had follow-up matters to deal with. He had no time to say anything to Xin Yi, so he asked Cheng Cang to drive Xin Yi to Zhao Zongshi's house. Before leaving, he gently told her to rest early.

Zhou Yiliu, who had nowhere to go, followed suit and got into the carriage, carrying a baggage...

Xin Yi glanced at her and saw that Cheng Cang didn't refuse. He smiled slightly and said nothing.

On the way, Zhou Yiliu tried several times to talk to Xin Yi about his visit to Yuezhou, but Xin Yi declined with a smile.

"If Madam Xiao Zhou has anything to say, please tell the prince later. I'm not your master, so you don't need to explain to me."

Zhou Yiliu saw her brows were light and her smile was undiminished, but she looked like she was rejecting others from thousands of miles away. He sighed and smiled warmly.

"I don't know why Mrs. Zhang is hostile to me, and I feel really aggrieved. This time, if Mrs. Zhang hadn't refused the eldest princess's arrangement again and again, how could I have been ordered to go south?"

Xin Yi's eyebrows moved slightly.

After leaving the palace that day, she learned that the military medical camp had left Beijing. The eldest princess had indeed asked Mrs. Qian to come to her and make other arrangements for her to go south. However, Xin Yi felt that she was being watched and was very unsafe at the time, so she was worried.

Only then did he reject her, and then he built a plank road openly and crossed to Chencang secretly.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess would actually have the idea of ​​sending Zhou Yiliu to take care of Fu Jiuqu?

Xin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He played with his fingers boredly and said calmly: "That is the matter of the eldest princess and Mrs. Xiao Zhou and has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Yiliu pursed his lips and said even more aggrieved.

"Ms. Zhang and the prince are in love with each other, but they refuse to go south openly and honestly. They have to be secretive... If the eldest princess knew you were coming, she wouldn't have this misunderstanding... Then I don't have to do it again.

Suffering from this displacement."

Xin Yi exclaimed, "Is it true that Mrs. Zhou was kidnapped by the eldest princess and sent south?"

Zhou Yiliu was startled, "Madam, I'm joking. It's my blessing to be able to serve the king. How can I be reluctant?"

Xin Yi smiled calmly and looked away.

Zhou Yiliu rubbed his arms and legs, and glanced at Xin Yi erratically. There was an incomprehensible intensity in his eyes, but his tone was gentler than in Beijing, and he seemed to be groveling in front of her.

"Mrs. Zhang, there is no need to be afraid of me... If you are not satisfied, just treat me as a servant girl. I will do my best to serve you and the prince here, and I will never dare to have any wrong thoughts..."

Xin Yi heard it.

It was like a gust of wind blowing in my ears.

She looked at the Yueyang Tower as if she were here, feeling the passage of time and space, but ignored her...

Zhou Yiliu was talking boringly, staring down at his shoes and sighing, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"My wife still blames me."

~

When they arrived at the Zhao Mansion, Gao Miao had already put on his clothes and stood up, and came to greet him personally at the gate.

"These people are so brave. They really have no royal skills. They couldn't succeed in the assassination at Zuixian Pavilion, and they actually committed the murder in the inn..."

Gao Miao looked Xin Yi up and down, then scolded him and cursed him like a firecracker.

Xin Yi didn't say much, and said with a faint smile: "I have nowhere to go tonight, so I have no choice but to disturb the Lord."

Gao Miao waved his hands impatiently and said cheerfully: "You and the prince will suffer this misfortune all because of me and Zhao Shisan. Why are you so polite among us? Please come in quickly..."

Xin Yi smiled and slowly walked up.

Only then did Gao Miao see Zhou Yiliu following her, looking up and down, and asked doubtfully:

"Who is this lady?"

Xin Yi looked back and smiled lightly but didn't answer.

Zhou Yiliu lowered his head and bowed weakly to Gao Miao, his voice a bit pitiful.

"My concubine, Zhou Yiliu, is the eldest girl who lives with the Prince of Guangling. She came to serve the Prince on the order of the eldest princess."

Gao Miao nodded as if she had realized something, and smiled at Xin Yi.

"Let's go back to the house and discuss it in detail."

Xin Yi glanced at Zhou Yiliu, took Gao Miao's arm affectionately and walked inside. Gao Miao was stunned for a moment, and then started to laugh too. Not only did he not refuse her approach, he even got a little closer to her. As he walked, he bowed his head.

Smile and talk.

The two of them were so intimate that only one Zhou Yiliu was left, awkwardly staying where he was. It took a long time before he silently followed.

…

That night, Xin Yi stayed in the side room next to Gao Miao and Zhao Zongshi's bedroom, so that it could be convenient to take care of the patients and talk to Gao Miao.

The two women had no friendship at first when they were in Bianjing, but after traveling together and experiencing the Yuezhou turmoil together, they formed a life-and-death friendship.

Gao Miao put down the pretense of being a county prince and spoke generously and straightforwardly in front of her. He was no longer as sinister and eccentric as before.

And Xin Yi is a typical social bastard. He doesn't have a word when he doesn't want to talk about it. When he meets someone with whom he can communicate, he talks a lot of nonsense...
