After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Qiu did not get a positive answer from Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu was afraid of causing more trouble.

However, who was it that saw her meeting Huo Yuanpei that year, and went to the Huo family to inform them, and they must find the person.

Qiu came sadly and left even more sadly.

Since Concubine Shu did not admit it, she could not do anything to the other party.

The King of Qi was already dead, and the Huo family no longer had a strong backer. If they confronted Concubine Shu head-on, the Huo family would be the only ones to suffer.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qiu was unwilling to put the entire Huo family in danger for the sake of a son who had died many years ago, but he had no choice but to give up.

But Qiu Shi didn't expect that after she came out of the palace, someone followed her. When the carriage passed through a secluded alley, someone took out a big knife and hacked at everyone. The driver and the old woman were seriously injured and fell to the ground, with blood everywhere.

The accident happened too suddenly. Just when Qiu was screaming and thought he was going to die under the sword, an uninvited guest appeared.

Jiang Hao saved her.

The killer's assassination was interrupted by someone, and the other party's martial arts was better than his. It was not known whether he was afraid of death or afraid of being exposed, so he ran away after hesitating for a moment.

Jiang Hao did not chase after them, but asked Yueying to report to the police and find a doctor to treat the two people lying in a pool of blood.

Qiu was still in shock, her face was pale, her eyes were wide open with fear, and her whole body was shaking. The moment Jiang Hao held her hand, her palms were full of cold sweat.

"Thank...thank you, girl."

Sitting in the teahouse and touching the scalding hot tea bowl, Qiu finally calmed down a little.

She didn't know Jiang Hao.

"Mrs. Huo, you don't have to be so polite."

Jiang Hao did not hide the fact that he knew her. Seeing that she was still trembling, he reached out and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "It's okay."

"Squeak-"

The door opened and Xu Xing walked in from outside.

Jimo stayed outside the door, took a look inside the room, and reached out to close the door.

"Prince Xu?"

Qiu was stunned when he saw Xu Xing, and his eyes immediately fell on Jiang Hao. He also guessed Jiang Hao's identity at the same time.

"I thank Lady Jiahe for saving my life."

No wonder she was able to drive away the killer. The name of Princess Jiahe was well-known even in the inner chambers, but she had never seen her.

I didn't expect that today, she would be the one who saved me.

And she is the Xu family's unmarried daughter-in-law. The fate between the Huo family and the Xu family...

"Madam has already thanked you. It's just a small favor."

Jiang Hao did not take credit for it, nor did he want to take advantage of the Huo family. "However, I have something to ask Madam, please tell me the truth."

Qiu was stunned for a moment before nodding: "I wonder what the county lady wants to know."

Xu Xing did not sit down, but walked to the window and looked at the pedestrians on the street. The government soldiers also hurried past at this time: "Mrs. Huo, I want to know why you came to the palace to see my aunt?"

The Huo family and his aunt should not have had any dealings with each other because of Huo Yuanpei's affairs, but Mrs. Huo happened to enter the palace. And when his aunt saw him off that day, she slipped him a note, asking him to find out the cause of Huo Yuanpei's death...

The cause of death had not been determined yet, and Mrs. Huo encountered the killer as soon as she entered the palace. If Jiang Hao had not acted in time, Qiu would have been killed.

Xu Xing guessed that all this must be related to Qiu's visit to the palace to find Concubine Shu.

And, it is related to Huo Yuanpei.

I don’t know why a person who has been dead for nearly twenty years would be implicated. It’s really hard to understand.

Huo Yuanpei's Huo family and Concubine Shu's Xu family, could it be that...
