Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Fate

Jin Zhi cast a vicious glance at Qing Chuan who was in the corner of the room, and told Mama Liu in a cold voice, "Hurry up and deal with it, if you find out, you are the only one to ask." Mama Liu hurriedly joined hands with the two women, and pushed Qingchuan out. She never thought that Qingchuan was struggling so violently. Afraid of disturbing others, Mama Liu simply picked up a wooden stick from the ground and beat Qingchuan with one stick. After fainting, he ordered the two women to carry Qingchuan out from the corner door in the backyard. Because the back garden of King Yong's Mansion brought running water in from the outside for landscaping, there was a small river ditch not far from the back garden. Taking advantage of the night, Liu Ma and the two women carried Qingchuan, one foot deep and one foot shallow. When they got to the river, Mama Liu told one of the women, "Quickly find a stone to drop her on!"

The old woman responded and hurriedly searched for the stones. It was Qingchuan's life that was inevitable, but there was no stone of a suitable size by the river for a while, and there were voices of people passing by in the distance. Mama Liu was afraid that someone might see her. In his panic, he didn't have time to drop a stone on Qingchuan's body, and directly threw the unconscious Qingchuan into the river. Qingchuan fell into the river and was shocked by the cool water, and immediately woke up from a coma, but the river was already fast, and she couldn't swim, so she struggled for a while before being knocked unconscious again, and drifted along with the current to the downstream.

The river meanders to the southeast, turns a corner in the south of the city, and the flow speed slows down suddenly. There are large reeds growing on both sides of the river, and after detours, it is the famous gold-selling cave in the capital——Mengxianju. Mengxianju has just recruited a group of new girls, all of them are young, beautiful and attractive, but the boss of Mengxianju, Jiu Yiniang, is still not satisfied. She brought these newcomers to the riverside to hang their voices early in the morning, and reprimanded: : "I've trained you for so long, and it's hard for me to show my face. You can see for yourself, this song can't be sung well, and the dance can't be danced well. If this continues, my Dream Fairy House will have to be closed."

Just as Jiu Yiniang was talking here, a woman standing by the river suddenly screamed, Jiu Yiniang was so angry and angry, she walked over and pulled a willow stick at the woman's back, angrily said: "Hey, I Say a few words about you, you are still energetic. Why, you want to sing against me? Let me tell you, there is no way!" The woman hurriedly turned around and argued loudly: "No, Mom, look ahead—" Jiu Yiniang looked along what she pointed, and saw a human foot protruding from the reeds, still trembling.Because this patch of reeds is close to Mengxianju, there are some frivolous people who come to peep at the girls on weekdays, so Jiu Yiniang has long been familiar with it, and just smiled when she saw it: "What are you afraid of? ? Pulled it out and chopped off his feet, let's see if he dares to be lecherous!"

As he said, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward to grab that person, but he never thought that the person crawled out by himself, but he was dressed as a fisherman, bowing to Jiu Yiniang repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to peek, I just ..." Before he finished speaking, a sharp-eyed prostitute saw a woman lying in the reeds behind him, and screamed loudly: "Ah, mother, there is a corpse lying beside him!" The fisherman was frightened when he heard this, and explained in a panic: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me. I caught her when I was fishing. I just wanted to bury her. It's none of my business—"

He said that he was afraid that Jiu Yiniang and others would pursue him again, so he hurriedly ran away.A prostitute next to Jiu Yiniang tugged at her sleeve and shouted, "Mom, he ran away, what should we do now?" Jiu Yiniang shook off the prostitute's hand impatiently, and ordered: "Why are you so surprised, we didn't kill the person, what are you afraid of? The clothes seem to be well-dressed, go and see if there is any money?" But the prostitute was hesitant and dared not go forward, so Jiu Yiniang pulled her a willow stick and scolded: "Hurry up, do you want me to do it myself?"

Then the prostitute stepped forward timidly, stretched out her hand to touch the man's body, but unexpectedly found that the man moved, the prostitute was startled, scrambled to escape, and shouted: "Mom, That person seems to be alive and still moving!" Jiu Yiniang was bold. Hearing this, she stepped forward cautiously and looked at the woman carefully. She saw that under the cover of the disheveled hair, although a small face was pale and colorless, it had delicate skin and delicate features. That Qingchuan girl who entered the Prince's Bieyuan!Jiu Yiniang was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "How could it be her?"

Seeing that Jiu Yiniang was not afraid, everyone came over boldly, and the sharp-eyed ones saw blood slowly oozing from Qingchuan's chest, and hurriedly shouted: "Her chest is still oozing blood! There is still blood on her body!" hurt!" Jiu Yiniang stretched out her hand to touch Tan Qingchuan's breath, thought for a while, and ordered: "Take it back first, save it if you can save it, throw it out and bury it if you can't!" Several people hurriedly carried Qingchuan back to Mengxianju, Jiu Yiniang asked someone to invite a doctor to show her, prescribed a prescription and took the medicine, then threw Qingchuan to a Zi Yan, an out-of-date prostitute, looked after her.At night, Qingchuan woke up from the coma, looked around, and felt a little dazed for a while, where did she go?

Zi Yan came in from the outside with a medicine bowl in her hand. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't worry, this is Mengxianju, not the Palace of the King of Hell. We brought you back from the river. Come, drink the medicine first." gone." Qing Chuan's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard that he was actually in Mengxianju again.Ziyan sat by the bed, handed the medicine to Qingchuan, and asked: "I recognize you, you are the girl who was sent to the Prince's Garden by Nine Yiniang, why were you thrown into the river again?"

Qingchuan drank the medicine silently, but thought in her heart that she was thrown into the river by Si Fujin's people, but this matter cannot be said, firstly, it will cause trouble, and secondly, if the news that she is still alive spreads to the four If Fujin went there, she would have to send someone to kill herself.Thinking of this, Qingchuan said: "I just feel a pain in my head, I don't remember anything, and I don't know why I fell into the river." Zi Yan is a smart person, after hearing what she said, she didn't ask any more questions, and only comforted: "Then let's take good care of it first."

Besides, the fourth elder brother, ever since he ordered someone to bring Qingchuan into the capital, he has been conflicted in his heart. His reason told him to send Qingchuan to the prince as soon as possible, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him not to be so rational, to call As soon as he was willful, he kept that woman by his side.After two days like this, the people who followed Qingchuan suddenly reported that Miss Qingchuan had disappeared suddenly. The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered people to look for it, but he had been searching in the capital for three days but could not find any trace of Qingchuan, so Zhao An persuaded: "Master, I heard from the people who are with Miss Qingchuan, Miss Qingchuan wanted to go back when she was in Wuliu Town, maybe she left quietly by herself." The fourth elder brother lowered his brows and eyes and remained silent for a long time. Zhao An knew that his master likes to hide everything in his heart, so he felt a little uncomfortable seeing him so unaware, so he asked again: "Why don't I send some people to the south to look for it? When we met Miss Qingchuan, she would not Do you just want to go to Jiangnan?" The fourth elder brother shook his head lightly, and sighed in a low voice: "It's good to leave like this, and my heart won't be disturbed if I don't see him." After speaking, he turned and entered the palace. The prince was waiting for the fourth elder brother outside the Qing palace, and when he saw him coming, he pulled him over and said anxiously: "Fourth brother, Huang Ama asked you to investigate the deficit of the household department, how did you find it?" The fourth elder brother was a little surprised when he suddenly asked this, and asked in a low voice: "I came here to report the matter to Huang Ama, and I have already recovered part of it, why did the second brother ask this?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across the prince's face, and he said in a low voice: "Two years ago, I fell in love with a garden and wanted to buy it. I didn't have any money at hand, so I borrowed some money from the household department. If you check this now, someone has asked for it. I'm going to ask for the bill, I'm afraid don't report this matter to Huang Ama again, it would be bad to make the old man angry." Only then did the fourth elder brother understand, but he was even more disappointed with the prince. At that time, the prince took money from the Ministry of Households, no wonder the ministers followed suit.He thought for a while and said, "I'll suppress this matter first, and the second brother hastened to think of a way to return the money." With his words, the prince settled down, turned and left.Looking at his hurried figure, the fourth elder brother couldn't help shaking his head.The eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother have just been summoned by Kangxi. When they came out, they saw the fourth elder brother outside and greeted them with a smile. Go in, Huang Ama has been waiting for you." The fourth elder brother nodded, not daring to delay any longer, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hat and entered the Qianqing Palace. Brother Jiu kept watching his background enter the palace gate, then turned his head, and said softly: "Recently, the fourth son and the prince have gotten very close, and I don't know what the two of them are planning." The tenth elder brother didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "So what? No matter how good the fourth elder brother is, he can't compare with the eighth elder brother's words in front of Huang Ama." Brother Nine snorted coldly after hearing this, and said, "Don't underestimate Fourth Brother, I think he has a lot of tricks and tricks. We played games when we were young, who can beat him?" Hearing what he said, Brother Ten couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?" Brother Jiu thought for a while and replied: "Send some people to investigate and see what is going on between the fourth child and the crown prince." "Stop messing around," the eighth elder brother who had been silent all this time stopped him.Ever since Qingchuan asked Shouling to leave the Forbidden City that day, he sat alone in the room for a whole day, and when he came out again, there was no trace of publicity on that handsome face, but it was a little more gentle. smile.The eighth brother said in a low voice: "The fourth brother is a watertight man, even if you follow him, you won't be able to find out anything. If you touch your nose, it will be embarrassing for everyone to meet." Brother Nine smiled when he heard this, and said, "Don't be afraid, Fourth Brother does not leak water, but there is one person who leaks water." Elder Brother Shi was taken aback when he heard that, and couldn't help asking: "You mean... Fourth Sister-in-law?"
