After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms
Chapter 13 Shocking the Slave
Yan Qing hurried back to Qingyi Courtyard.
In just a short distance, she felt like she had used up all her life's strength and had never been so flustered.
It feels like an evil spirit is chasing me.
As soon as he returned to his residence, he immediately held his chest and gasped.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Qingluan came out of the house and saw Yan Qing's face flushed, sweating and panting. She asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Yan Qing shook his head, panting as he spoke quickly, "Hurry, go to the back of Qingzhu Courtyard with Luzhi. There's an unconscious woman there... Don't let anyone see us. Throw her out the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion at night... Go!"
Even though he was flustered, Yan Qing did not forget to quickly deal with the troublesome Yang Xuan.
Qingluan nodded calmly: "Yes."
She did not ask why there was a woman in her cousin's Qingzhu Courtyard so late, nor did she ask why the young lady cared about this matter. Instead, she called other maids to help Yan Qing into the house, and then hurried to find Luzhi.
Yan Qing tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Sometimes he was worried that Qingluan and Luzhi would be discovered, and sometimes he was upset that he forgot to ask Gu Huaizhou to invite an imperial physician for his mother.
Since he is the descendant of the current emperor and won the supreme throne in his previous life, the emperor must have sent people to protect him, and there must be a way to invite the imperial physician from the palace.
Just now she was only concerned about Yang Xuan's affairs.
I actually forgot about the imperial physician!
Yan Qing felt anxious.
It was not until the middle of the night when Qingluan and Luzhi returned to the courtyard and told her that everything was done that Yan Qing's heart finally settled.
In this way, Yang Xuan could not marry Gu Huaizhou.
Only when Gu Huaizhou does not have to be kicked out of the Yan Mansion will she have the opportunity to get closer to him. As long as she helps him, protects him and guards him during this period, when Gu Huaizhou ascends the throne, even if he does not repay her kindness, he will probably take care of the Ye family and his mother because of the friendship they have had over the past few days.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing fell asleep contentedly.
……
The next day.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Yan Qing sat up from the bed.
"Miss, why don't you get a little more sleep today?"
Luzhi brought in the copper basin and saw Yan Qing's face. She suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, what are you doing..."
Yan Qing took the bronze mirror and took a look at it.
The woman in the bronze mirror looked tired, with dark eyes, and she looked like she had not slept well.
She put down the bronze mirror and sighed.
I don’t know what possessed me, but I dreamed of Gu Huaizhou again last night.
But this time it wasn't a wet dream.
But it is more terrifying than a wet dream.
She dreamed that Gu Huaizhou was standing in a magnificent secret room, with her portraits hanging all over the walls.
Gu Huaizhou muttered to himself as he looked at the portraits.
He cried and laughed at times, and finally lay in a coffin holding a portrait!
Yan Qing woke up instantly.
I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well all night.
As soon as I closed my eyes, all I could think of was Gu Huaizhou's crazy look and those portraits.
It's really terrifying!
"Go get two blocks of ice."
Yan washed her face and applied ice cubes.
After the dark circles under her eyes got better, she applied a thin layer of powder to hide the tiredness.
After breakfast, she went to Xiruoyuan.
Ye was already in good health and recovered quickly after taking the medicine. When she saw Yan Qing coming to visit her, she pulled her aside and scolded Madam Zhen and Yan Tan one by one.
Yan Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But seeing that my mother was in such good spirits, most of my worries were gone.
I guess they used a slow-acting medication on my mother, otherwise it wouldn't have taken two years for the disease to break out...
Thinking of this, Yan Qing's eyes darkened.
Two years later, her grandfather's family would be executed, so she had to make arrangements as soon as possible.
Although Gu Huaizhou is a bargaining chip.
But you can't completely bet your life and property on him.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Nothing is safer than taking your destiny into your own hands.
However, although he had an idea, Yan Qing had not yet figured out how to do it or what he could do.
In her previous life, until her death, she was trapped in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and had no idea about the situation in Yongjing and the court.
So after visiting his mother, Yan Qing planned to go out for a walk.
As a result, she had just returned to Qingyi Courtyard to change her clothes when Nanny Li suddenly rushed in: "Second Miss, Madam asked you to come over!"
Her attitude is even more arrogant than that of Madam Cao.
Yan Qing sat down slowly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Madam Zhen invited me, why didn't she meet someone else?"
Nanny Li sneered, "Second Miss, you're so arrogant! You actually expect Madam to come and invite you personally?"
Yan Qing smiled faintly and said, "I am the legitimate daughter of the family, and she is just a concubine in my father's room. If she wants to see me, shouldn't she come in person?"
"Second Miss, are you confused? Madam is the master's concubine, a wife! Not some lowly concubine. Can you handle it if I invite you?"
Nanny Li looked Yan Qing up and down, muttering disdainfully, "She's the legitimate daughter of the family, but she's just an unloved one..."
"Palm mouth."
"Snapped!"
Luzhi rushed forward and slapped Madam Li in the face, angrily saying, "You are just a lowly slave, and you dare to be so rude to the young lady!"
Nanny Li covered her face in shock: "You!"
"What do you mean? If you dare to disrespect the young lady again, I will beat you to death, you old hag!" Luzhi put her hands on her hips and cursed angrily.
She had long been dissatisfied with the maids around Madam Zhen. Although they were servants in the mansion, they always bossed their daughter around and did not take the legitimate daughter seriously at all.
But the young lady always endured it before.
Now that the young lady asked her to slap someone in the face, she wished she could slap them a few more times!
Yan Qing looked at Nanny Li with a cold face. "No prince has a second legitimate wife. My mother, Ye Xiruo, is the wife my father married in a grand sedan chair! What kind of wife is Wang Zhenzhen?"
"'Equal wife' is just a term used among merchants. My father is the current Shangshu and should abide by the Dayong Law! And according to the Household Marriage Law, if a man's wife stops marrying, the man will be sentenced to one year in prison, and the woman's family will be demoted one level. Madam Li, are you trying to send my father to the Ministry of Justice?"
After saying the last sentence, Yan Qing slammed the teacup on the table.
"Second Miss, please spare my life!"
Nanny Li was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud. She didn't understand what the Household and Marriage Law was, but she understood that if she admitted that the lady was the master's wife, the master would be thrown into jail.
Who would have thought that the second young lady, who used to be so quiet that she couldn't even fart, would suddenly bring up the Dayong Law?
I've never seen her so eloquent before!
Nanny Li turned pale with fear and slapped herself on the mouth. "It's all my fault. I'm not good at talking. Second Miss, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again..."
You caused the master to go to jail, and you should be beaten to death.
She didn't want to follow in Madam Cao's footsteps.
Nanny Li cried with genuine emotion.
Yan Qing stood up and said, "Luzhi, if anyone talks about the idea of a concubine in this mansion again, they will be beaten to death!"
Nanny Li shuddered.
Luzhi immediately glared at her: "Did you hear that? Get out of here!"
Nanny Li rolled away, crawling all the way.
Luzhi burst into laughter: "Miss, Madam Li is like a dog. I have never felt so relieved!"
"He's just a dog relying on his master's power."
In the past, she didn't like to argue and always wanted to endure and keep things peaceful.
But in the end, I found that if you don't fight or compete, you will lose more and more...
Yan Qing said calmly, "Let's go."
Just as the master and servant left Qingyi Courtyard, Qingluan, who had gone to harness the carriage, suddenly came back in a hurry and whispered a few words in Yan Qing's ear.
Yan Qing's expression suddenly turned cold.
Lu Qiaonan, how dare you come to her?!
