C9 A Guest in the Middle of the Night

The wedding date was coming, and the entire Qii Mansion was busy preparing for her wedding dowry. Of course, early in the morning, the palace sent over wedding dresses and jewelry on the day of the wedding. It was said that the Empress Dowager specially found someone to customize them. Not to mention how luxurious and heavy the wedding dress was, just the Phoenix Dawn Golden Crown alone was enough to break her neck on a single day.

And the betrothal gifts sent by the Prince Authority's residence could not even be piled up in the great hall. The servants felt their hands hurt when they moved it.

News of Prince Regent and Miss Qii's wedding tomorrow also spread throughout the entire city. At the same time, it also made many of the young ladies cry and faint in the toilet. In short, Qii Yao was instantly angered, to the point that those "strange rumors" about her could be used by the people to chat for a day.

Qii Yao walked in the long corridor. Today, she wore a green dress with a light green smoke veil covering her body and tied her hair with a flowing cloud hairpin. It did not require too many layers of clothing and accessories to leave a deep impression on people.

"Eldest Miss. " The maid who passed by bowed and left in a hurry, as if she was afraid that she would eat her.

Qii Yao came to the lobby and saw a group of servants moving out rows of boxes from the lobby. Her expression was slightly surprised.

She saw the butler walk out of the lobby and quickly went up to ask, "Butler, where is my father?"

"Miss, the old master went out early in the morning. " The butler replied kindly. Qii Yao was puzzled. She originally wanted to discuss with Duke Qii again. Seeing Qii Yao's depressed expression, the butler asked, "Miss, are you looking for the old master for something?"

"It's fine. " Qii Yao said in disappointment, turned around and left. She walked back to the Qin Courtyard anxiously, her mind thinking about her future plans. Who knew that Bai Lin suddenly jumped out, scaring her.

Yesterday morning, he was clearly sick and had to support the wall to leave. Why did he look so energetic today and actually had the courage to scare her?

Qii Yao glanced at him, "You still dare to come?"

Bai Lin snorted and crossed his arms as he questioned. "You pretended to be a ghost that night to scare me, didn't you?"

Qii Yao glanced at him and saw that his eyes were firm. It seemed that this guy was not too stupid.

Qii Yao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "How is it? Do you feel that it is very touching? Do you think so?"

"You can only scare me. If you have the ability, then go and scare His Royal Highness. " Bai Lin was unwilling to accept this. He was a dignified seven-foot man, but she actually knew that he was afraid of ghosts. Why did she bully him just because he was afraid of ghosts? Why did his prince insist on sending him to do this kind of unpleasing and hard work?

The corner of Qii Yao's mouth twitched. To scare that man, she felt that her life was not long enough. Qii Yao continued to walk forward and said, "Are you still going to keep staring at me today?"

"Do you think I want to? It was His Royal Highness who sent me here and even made me bring the betrothal gifts. " Bai Lin followed behind her and answered. Only now did Qii Yao understand that those were the betrothal gifts in the hall. It was also very generous.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and curiously turned around to ask, "Your Royal Highness looks so good. There must be a lot of women who love him, right?"

"Of course, but the Royal Highness doesn't like them. " Bai Lin was proud of his Mistress's popularity.

"Then shouldn't I feel lucky?" Qii Yao narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"That is necessary. There are many women in the world who want to become the regent's princess. It is your fortune that the Royal Highness is willing to marry you. " When Bai Lin said this, he was clearly looking down on her.

Qii Yao nodded and continued to ask, "I say if, if the Princess made a mistake, she would be chased out of the Imperial Residence. Maybe she would be suspended?"

Bai Lin did not think much about it. He thought about her words and replied, "Unless she made a big mistake, it would be committing adultery or disrespecting the Imperial Family. It would be detrimental to the reputation of the Royal Highness. "

Forget about the affair. In the ancient times, people who had an affair had to soak in a pig cage. It was disrespectful to the royal family? What if their heads were chopped off? No, I can't take the risk. "Is there no simpler way? For example, doing what the prince hates the most, or touching his bottom line. "

"Yes. "

"What is it?" Qii Yao seemed to see hope. Bai Lin frowned and replied, "His Royal Highness does not like others to mention it. . . . Why are you asking about this?"

After Bai Lin reacted, he looked at her doubtfully. Qii Yao quickly answered against her heart. " I'm just worried. What if I do something wrong and get divorced?"

"His Royal Highness does not like others to talk about his mother Consort Chu Han. "

Consort Chu Han, oh, right. That day, Bai Lin asked her if she had seen a ghost. It turned out that it was Xiao Quan's mother.

Qii Yao smiled and agreed, "I know, I know. I definitely won't ask. " It would be strange.

"Half a year ago, there was a servant discussing Consort Chu Han's matter, and in the end, he was killed by His Royal Highness. " Bai Lin added. Qii Yao originally walked with the wind. She was so scared by this sentence that she almost twisted her legs. She turned around with a dark face and stared at Bai Lin. Why did this brat say such a thing!

"Miss Qii, are you alright?" Bai Lin saw her face turn green and white and asked.

"I'm fine. I want to be quiet. " Qii Yao stretched out her hand to stop him from following her and walked away with dark clouds above her head.

Bai Lin looked at her in confusion. He could not understand why this terrifying woman seemed to have nothing better than Duke Qii's daughter. As for her shortcomings, he had memorized them all. She had a bad temper and would scare people. Furthermore, she didn't have the image of a young lady.

He thought that she was just an ordinary girl, but he didn't expect her to be Duke Qii's daughter. It was hard to imagine that this woman would be the future regent's princess.

Out of curiosity towards the future mistress, Bai Lin spent the whole day observing her in secret. It was just like what was said in the streets, this Miss Qii liked to be alone in the residence.

When she had nothing to do, she would always do things that ordinary people could not understand. For example, she would pull out the leaves, squat in the pool, and fish. She would sit in the pavilion and stare into the distance in a daze.

After finishing the meal that the maid sent him in the afternoon, he would wander aimlessly in the garden. Occasionally, he would look around, and sometimes, he would suddenly be startled by something and speak to the air.

Bai Lin began to worry about his Royal Highness.

Deep in the night.

Because the wedding was tomorrow, the Qin Courtyard arranged for people to patrol, afraid that something would happen before the wedding date. Bai Lin could not sleep either, and he brought a group of guards to and fro to guard the place.

The candlelight in the room lit up and Qii Yao lay on the bed with her hands on her head and could not sleep. Seeing that she was going to get married tomorrow, she did not look for the jade pendant and could not escape. Could it be that she really wanted to replace Real Qii Yao to marry?

Why was she so unlucky? Once she thought that if her fake identity of Miss Qii was exposed, she would be guilty of deceiving the sovereign and marrying over would be sending her head over.

Qii Yao held her head and hurriedly sat up, "No, no, this is too scary. Please let me go!"

A large hand suddenly landed on her shoulder and Qii Yao was stunned. When she turned around and saw that handsome face, she was so scared that she rolled from the bedside to the end of the bed. She hugged the blanket and stared at Xiao Quan in fear.

"You. . . How did you come in? No, that's not right. How did you come over?" Wasn't he in the capital? He actually appeared in the Qii Mansion in West Suburb City in the middle of the night?

"I just wanted to see how scary Miss Qii is at night. She can scare my Shadow Guards into fainting. " He walked to the side with his hands behind his back and looked around the boudoir. Although Duke Qii was the richest man in Jin Province, the arrangement in Qii Mansion was simple and elegant. It did not seem like some upstarts were trying their best to disguise themselves as extravagant.

"But you, a man, broke into a girl's room in the middle of the night. If word gets out, you will be in a girl's room in the middle of the night. I don't want face! I don't want face! Ah? " He was too casual. Luckily, she didn't have the habit of sleeping naked.

" As long as This King gives the order, who dares to say? "

"That won't do either. "

She didn't want to see him. In any case, she especially didn't want to see him. Xiao Quan saw that she was very wary of him, but he frowned slightly. All the women in the world wanted to be close to him, but she disliked him.

However, he did not marry her because he had any thoughts about her. Besides Duke Qii's family business, he was more curious about it. Was she just like the rumors in the market?

"Tomorrow is the wedding. I don't want anything to go wrong. "

"Aren't you afraid?"

Xiao Quan wanted to open the door and leave, but her voice came from behind. He looked at her sideways and his cold eyes narrowed. "Why would I be afraid?"

Qii Yao was stunned. In modern times, whenever she said that she was a matchmaker, the face of the person who came for the blind date would change, not to mention leaving any contact details. Miss Qii was no exception.

"I can really see ghosts. Your Royal Highness, you have to think twice. "

"I don't mind if you find them to discuss with me. Coincidentally, I also want to meet them. " Xiao Quan pursed his thin lips and walked out the door.

Qii Yao was petrified on the bed. Was he crazy?

Xiao Quan, who walked out of the Qin Courtyard, stunned the patrolling guards. He glanced at the guards and said in a cold tone, "Guard well. If there is any mistake, only you can ask. "

"Yes. "

In order not to disturb them, Xiao Quan left through the side door of the mansion. Dongli Jian, who was standing in front of the carriage, revealed a playful and evil smile, "It's really interesting to encounter such a new thing in the Qii Mansion. However, what do you plan to do with this person in the carriage?"

The man in black, who was tied up in the carriage, covered his cloth with a frightened expression. Xiao Quan glanced at him coldly. If he had not happened to meet them by chance, it would not have been him who had entered Qii Yao's room, but these people.

Bai Lin jumped off the roof and landed in front of the two of them. "Your Highness, I am useless. After the other man in black caught me, he took the poison and committed suicide. "

"No matter, then leave the one in the car. "

Bai Lin walked into the car and searched the man in black. Sure enough, he found the poison and a bag of heavy silver. It was obvious that someone had hired someone to assassinate Qii Yao.

Dongli Jian opened his folding fan and said with a faint smile, "It seems like someone wants you to stay away from marriage. "

"Your Royal Highness, this is the money from the Palace. " Bai Lin saw the Palace Seal underneath the silver. This silver came from the Palace.

Xiao Quan's eyes were cold. He had to investigate thoroughly.
