Transmigrated Female Official

After being reminded by Shaoyao, Ji Qiran pursed his lips, covered his face with the veil again, and held out his hand to Chu Qingluo: "Give it to me."

"What?" Chu Qingluo was confused.

"A sweat towel."

Ji Qiran twitched his knuckles again, so Chu Qingluo had no choice but to hand him the handkerchief covering his face.

He tucked the things into his pocket and said, "You two just wait here and don't go out. Just leave it to me and Yilin."

“…Oh!” Chu Qingluo reluctantly agreed. She herself didn’t know why, but it seemed that she was always being manipulated by him in a domineering manner.

After Ji Qiran and Chu Yilin were ready, the two quietly moved to the bottom of the steps.

Chu Qingluo and Shaoyao, hiding behind the big tree, both held their breath, nervously awaiting the next scene...

If you think that Ji Qiran and Chu Yilin have some better methods, you are sorely mistaken!

The two of them didn't have any special plans at all; they just charged straight in!

Chu Yilin raised his hand and accurately placed the pre-prepared cloth bag over Ji Qili's head, while Ji Qiran punched and kicked him!

Ji Qili was clearly startled by the sudden appearance of the two people. While trying to break free of the cloth bag, he shouted, "Who are you people?!"

The two men showed no mercy, their attacks becoming increasingly brutal, as if they were trying to kill each other.

Chu Qinglu stared in astonishment at the scene before her; it was simply too violent!

But... well done! She likes it!

She even wanted to rush up and give Ji Qili a good beating! But because she was worried that she would become a burden to them, she could only think about it from the side.

Just as Chu Qingluo was wondering why Ji Qiran and the others had taken her handkerchief earlier if they were openly beating her, Ji Qili suddenly broke free of the bag, causing Chu Qingluo and Shaoyao to gasp in surprise.

Just then, Ji Qiran quickly took out a handkerchief and forcefully covered Ji Qili's mouth and nose... Ji Qili struggled a couple of times before losing consciousness.

After confirming that Ji Qili was lying motionless on the ground, Ji Qiran beckoned to Chu Qingluo, signaling them to come over. Chu Qingluo and Shaoyao then eagerly ran up the steps.

"I thought you had a better method? Isn't it just as simple and brutal?!" Chu Qingluo believed that their behavior was exactly the same as her thoughts.

Chu Yilin said, "We are much stronger than you, how can we be the same?" Although it was his idea, Ji Qiran immediately agreed upon it, and they hit it off immediately.

"Since you're so strong, what do you need my handkerchief for?"

Chu Yilin blinked at Ji Qiran, indicating that he should answer himself.

"I didn't need it, but seeing how hard you prepared, I didn't want you to waste it." Ji Qiran put the handkerchief back into his pocket and said, "I won't return this dangerous item to you."

"..." Chu Qingluo remained silent. Ji Qiran was right; she had the privilege of witnessing his skill in striking the back of the neck, and he truly did not need a sweat towel to cover himself.

Peony, still unaware that she had been slashed on the back of the neck, also came over and said, "You guys were really having a blast just now!"

Ji Qiran gestured with his chin towards Ji Qili lying on the ground and asked Chu Qingluo, "Do you still want me to administer acupuncture?"

"Forehead……"

The atmosphere was completely different from what Chu Qingluo had envisioned, especially after seeing Ji Qili get brutally beaten. She suddenly lost all interest in stabbing him. Besides, in front of these two men, stabbing another man repeatedly while saying, "I'll stab you to death,"... was that appropriate?

"Okay, I don't want to get it done anymore."

Ji Qiran looked at her amusedly: "Not going to seek revenge?"

Chu Qingluo quickly shook her head: "Didn't you avenge me? I should be thanking you..."

"Oh no, a patrol team!" Chu Yilin saw a group of people walking towards them.

The four of them disregarded everything else, lowered their bodies, and ran in another direction.

The patrolmen seemed to have heard an unusual noise and immediately rushed over. They then discovered Ji Qili lying on the terrace of Qingliang Palace.

"It's the Fifth Prince!"

"Quickly! You two, take him back to Changming Palace. I'll go fetch the physician!"

While the others were busy, Chu Yilin suggested, "Four people is a bit too big a target. Let's split into two groups and meet at the usual place."

"it is good."

After Ji Qiran agreed, he grabbed Chu Qingluo and ran without saying another word. Before Shaoyao could react, she was also dragged away by Chu Yilin.

Seeing that Ji Qiran was holding her hand, Chu Qingluo felt a little awkward and tried to shake off his hand as she ran.

He felt her struggle, and his knuckles tightened, holding her hand firmly in his palm, preventing her from succeeding.

"Can you let go?"

"Shh-"

Just as Chu Qingluo was about to speak, Ji Qiran suddenly pulled her into his arms, and she was then crouched down behind the bushes. At that moment, several patrol teams passed by their hiding place.

Chu Qinglu hurriedly held her breath. From her current angle, she could see Ji Qiran's long neck and prominent Adam's apple with just a slight lift of her eyes... She unconsciously swallowed.

This is really wrong!

Once the patrol team had gone some distance, Chu Qingluo immediately stood up and said, "It's safe now, we can go our separate ways."

He grabbed her arm: "Are you going back to Guangrentang now?"

"Of course." She had already informed Nine-Tailed Fox and the others in advance that they would be staying at Guangrentang tonight.

"The Fifth Prince was attacked for no reason. If His Majesty wants to investigate, you should have been at Guangrentang tonight. However, you happened to disappear for a period of time during the time the Fifth Prince was attacked... Tell me, how do you clear yourself of suspicion?"

"...I can say I went for a walk in the garden with Peony. But you guys, shouldn't you be worried about yourselves?"

Ji Qiran raised an eyebrow: "You're right, that's why we need you as a witness." After saying that, he pulled her forward again.

"You can let go now! Where are you taking me?" Chu Qingluo tried to shake him off again, but he still wouldn't let go.

The two of them were swinging and pulling each other, and Chu Qingluo didn't pay attention to where she was going at all. Suddenly, she stepped on a stone and twisted her ankle.

"Aish—" she cried out, suppressing the pain.

"See? Serves you right for moving around!" Ji Qiran squatted down and pinched her ankle with his fingers, causing her to gasp several times. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Ji Qiran turned his back and said, "Get on, I'll carry you."

"No."

He turned around and glared at her: "Why are you so stubborn? Hurry up and get on, don't waste time, the patrol team will be back soon."

"..."

Ji Qiran was right; at this critical juncture, it was best to reach a safe place as soon as possible. She steeled herself and climbed onto his back, letting him carry her.
