The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

Prefect Qin's expression suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly, "What do you know? Dad is doing this for your own good!"

Song Yao sneered, "You took him in, probably for the so-called elixir of immortality, right? Prefect Qin, if he really could refine some kind of elixir, why would he even be the Imperial Master? Why would he let his disciples capture so many young girls? Prefect Qin, you are the Prefect of Youdu after all, how could you be so foolish?"

Prefect Qin's throat choked. "He did promise me that if the elixir was successfully refined, he would give me two. Who in this world doesn't want to be immortal? I just let him stay here. What crime have I committed?"

"You are shielding someone!" Song Yao said, "If you are shielding someone, then you are guilty. Okay, I won't waste my words with you anymore. Xie Cheng, go open the basement!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Cheng bowed in response, and the two yamen runners pointed out the location of the basement to them.

This basement is actually a secret passage, and the mechanism to open this secret passage is behind the closet.

When the wardrobe was pushed open, there was a mechanism on top. When the mechanism was turned, the wall in front automatically opened. After a while, a door appeared in front of Xie Cheng!

Xie Cheng walked up to Song Yao and said, "Empress, the basement has been opened!"

Song Yao said, "Take your men down and capture Master Jiang."

"Yes!" Xie Cheng nodded and immediately took ten people to the basement.

But now, Prefect Qin's face did not look panicked at all, and he even looked a little calm and composed.

Qin Xue frowned. Why did the person she liked belong to an official family? Why?

Master Jiang must be here. If he is caught by them, her father will be guilty of harboring a criminal, and the Emperor and Empress will definitely not let him go!

She really wanted to beg, but her father really protected Master Jiang, so even if she begged, they would not let her father go.

This is how to do ah?

Not long after, Xie Cheng came out with his men.

But there was no sign of Master Jiang!

Song Yao frowned, "Xie Cheng, where are they?"

Xie Cheng walked up to Song Yao and said, "Your Majesty, there's no sign of Imperial Master Jiang in the basement, but there are mattresses and signs of life inside. Imperial Master Jiang must have lived there before!"

Song Yao frowned and looked at Xie Cheng in disbelief. "What did you say? Master Jiang isn't here?"

Xie Cheng nodded, "Yes, Queen."

This is impossible. Qin Xue told Xie Cheng that Master Jiang lived in the basement, and there were signs of life in the basement. They came here suddenly, and Master Jiang could not have known about it. In this case, they could not have left.

But the problem is that Master Jiang and the others are not here now.

Song Yao looked at Prefect Qin, her eyes turning colder, "Where is Prefect Qin?"

Prefect Qin looked up at Song Yao, "People? What people? I never said he was here. It was you, Empress, who thought he was here!"

Song Yao said with a serious face, "It was your daughter who said that Jiang Guoshi was here, and there were signs of life in the basement. Tell me, how did you know we were coming?"

Master Jiang must have been notified in advance, which is why he left.

Prefect Qin, however, denied it. "Your Majesty, the reason there are signs of human life in that basement is because I rescued someone before, and that person was being hunted, so I placed him in the basement. I have never met Imperial Advisor Jiang. Please investigate, Your Majesty."

"Hmph!" Song Yao turned around, "Let's go!"

Prefect Qin is such a bastard. He must have asked them to leave early, so they didn't catch anyone here.

But they came here as a surprise attack, and Governor Qin certainly didn't have time for them to move.

Then the only explanation is that Master Jiang and the others left a long time ago.

Suddenly thinking of something, Song Yao stopped and frowned.

The prefect's men had posted the portrait outside early this morning. It was a portrait of a masked man in black. Since the portrait was posted by the prefect's men, and they also said that they would give five hundred taels of silver if you bring someone here, if Qin Xue told them that a man in black had visited last night, then Prefect Qin would definitely let Master Jiang and the others leave!

Maybe that's why they didn't catch Master Jiang here.

This Prefect Qin's statements are obviously different before and after. He is really an old fox!

……

The prefect is in the main room.

Prefect Qin sat at the table. He glanced at Qin Xue over there and said, "Xiaoxue, come here!"

Qin Xue walked up to Prefect Qin and said, "Dad."

"It's all thanks to you this morning. Otherwise, Imperial Prefect Jiang and the Emperor would have been captured by them!" Prefect Qin's eyes were filled with anger. "Xiao Chi is plotting to usurp the throne. He deserves divine punishment!"

Prefect Qin was really furious when his son rebelled against his father.

However, Xiao Chi is now the emperor, and he is just a prefect, so he definitely has no way to deal with him.

As for Master Jiang, he must not be captured by Xiao Chi's men!

Fortunately, his daughter told him in the morning about the men in black sneaking into the prefectural government, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Qin Xue sat aside, looking at Prefect Qin and said, "Dad, that Imperial Master Jiang has done so many evil things. He deserves to be cut into pieces. Why are you still helping him? Now that the throne has changed, he is definitely not someone we can afford to offend. Dad, I don't want to see you die. Dad, please don't help him anymore. Otherwise, if something happens to you, what will I do? I already have no mother, and I don't want to lose you too."

Prefect Qin said, "Xiaoxue, don't you want eternal youth? Don't you want immortality? Xiaoxue, Imperial Master Jiang has promised me that as long as the elixir is refined, he will give us two. Xiaoxue, being able to eat the elixir is my lifelong wish. I will not betray him!"

Qin Xue sighed, "Dad, aren't you afraid of being caught? If Jiang Guoshi is caught, he will definitely betray you. He will definitely die. Dad, you will definitely be thrown into prison too. Dad, why ruin your life for that illusory dream?"

"Xiaoxue, as long as the two of us can keep it a secret, no one will know!" Prefect Qin stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After walking a few steps, Prefect Qin suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Qin Xue, "Xiaoxue, is the man you like Xie Cheng?"

Qin Xue was stunned for a moment. She stood up and walked to Prefect Qin. "Dad, it's him. What's wrong?"

"There's no possibility between you two. Daddy advises you not to waste your time on him!" Prefect Qin patted her shoulder. "My daughter should marry a prince. He's just a guard, not worthy of you! Xiaoxue, think about it carefully. Daddy is leaving."
