Qi Ning thought he heard wrongly, but his expression changed and he grabbed Tian Xuerong's wrist: "What did you say? Who... passed away?"
His behavior at this moment was actually a bit ferocious. Tian Xuerong's beautiful face turned pale and she said in horror: "Your Majesty...!"
"Brother Qi, calm down!" Master Lou Wen raised his hand and pressed Qi Ning's shoulder. Qi Ning felt his heart was suffocating, but he still said: "Madam, you... please explain clearly."
"Yes... it's the third lady... passed away!" Tian Xuerong bit her lip and said.
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he felt the world was spinning, his feet felt weak, he staggered back two steps, and was about to sit down on the ground, but Master Lou Wen had already supported him, Qi Ning's eyes turned black, it was Mrs. Lian Tian His face also began to become blurry, his stomach was tumbling, and something seemed to be gushing into his throat. He retched several times, but nothing came out.
Tian Xuerong was frightened when she saw this scene. She didn't care about the people beside her, came over and grabbed Qining's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you... what's wrong with you?"
Master Lou and Tian Xuerong helped Qining sit down on the chair. Qining's face was pale. Master Lou knew that Qining's blood was not flowing smoothly after hearing the bad news, so he patted Qining's back a few times. , which was to help Qi Ning dredge his energy and blood. After a while, Qi Ning finally came to his senses and closed his eyes, but soon he stared at Bai Shenghao, and his voice was already a little scary: "Master Bai, who harmed Sanniang?" ? Sanniang... where is she now? "
Bai Shenghao's eyes twitched twice, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The third lady was worried about the prince's safety and stayed awake day and night. One morning, Mrs. Tian found the third lady... The third lady was lying on the bed without breathing...!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Qining stood up suddenly: "Where is she? I want to see her now."
Master Lou Wen looked solemn and said: "Brother Qi, things have happened, and we must not mess up because of this." He asked Bai Shenghao: "Master Bai, where is the body of the third lady now?"
"It's in the previous hiding place." Bai Shenghao lowered his head and said: "Without the prince's instructions, we don't dare to deal with it without authorization."
Qi Ning felt heartbroken. He didn't care about anything else at this time. He grabbed Bai Shenghao's hand and walked out. Master Lou Wen said anxiously: "Brother Qi, you...!"
"Brother Lou, I want to see her." Qi Ning dropped a word and almost dragged Bai Shenghao away. Master Lou shook his head and sighed. Tian Xuerong looked at Qi Ning's leaving back with a complicated expression, and finally sighed quietly. tone.
This is the headquarters of the Beggar Clan, and naturally a few horses are always kept in case of emergencies. The only thing Qi Ning wants to do at this time is to meet Gu Qinghan. Bai Shenghao knows where the place is, so he can only let Bai Shenghao lead the way, and the two of them ride horses. Leaving Luoguxiang, we headed straight out of the city.
After leaving the city, heading west, Bai Shenghao knew that Qin Ning was anxious, so he didn't say much along the way. He led the way with his horse as fast as flying. From noon when he left the city, until midnight, he was hundreds of miles away from the capital and had already left the capital. , walking more and more remote, and finally arrived at a bamboo forest. This bamboo forest was very lush and entangled with vines. It was obviously inaccessible. Bai Shenghao reined in his horse and then said to Qining: "Your Majesty, this is a hidden stronghold of our beggar gang. , We will not come here unless it is absolutely necessary. There is no human trace within a radius of more than ten miles, and it is very secretive."
Qin Ning saw that the bamboo forest was densely packed with no roads and the horses could not move through the forest. He turned over and dismounted. Along the way, he felt sad in his heart and his face was extremely ugly. At this time, he finally said: "Take me there!"
Bai Shenghao also dismounted, quickly tied up the two horses, and then led the way.
Qining entered the bamboo forest. As he expected, the bamboo forest was entangled with vines. These bamboos were very old. Because no one had set foot on them, they were covered with thorns and vines. Many places were blocked by thorns and vines, making it impossible to pass. If you were really riding a horse, It's really difficult to move in.
In such a secret place, ordinary people would really get lost if they walked in.
When Qi Ning heard Bai Shenghao say that this was a secret stronghold of the Beggar Clan, he felt a little strange. He didn't know why the Beggar Clan would set up a stronghold in such a remote place. But at this time, he just wanted to see Gu Qinghan and had no intention of thinking too much about it. After walking around in the forest for a while, the front suddenly became brighter. It turned out that deep in the bamboo forest, there was an extremely spacious place with two wooden houses. Through the moonlight, I could even see a well drilled beside the house, and two wooden houses. The doors of each wooden house were closed, but the windows were open, and a light was on in one of the windows.
Qi Ning was startled, thinking that this place was hundreds of miles away from the capital. He was working hard without stopping, and it would take him most of a day to get here. Bai Shenghao would lead Mrs. Tian back to the capital from here, and then he could get here the fastest. It would take a day. Even if the oil lamp was lit in the house, it would not last until now. He was confused and thought about whether Bai Shenghao had arranged for someone to guard Gu Qinghan's body here. He took a deep breath and walked towards the wooden house, but Bai Shenghao He didn't follow, but just watched Qining walk towards the wooden house.
Qining walked to the wooden house and reached out to push the door open. However, the wooden door was not locked from the inside. After opening it, Qining immediately rushed into the house. He only took one look, but his whole body was already stunned.
In the wooden house, the furnishings are simple, with tables and chairs. Although simple, it is very clean. There is an oil lamp on the table. Under the light, a person is sitting at the table with a book in his hand. After Qining comes in , the man raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, but soon showed a slight smile, charming and charming, who else could it be if it wasn't Gu Qinghan
Qining was suddenly confused. Mrs. Tian and Bai Shenghao insisted that Gu Qinghan had passed away. For this reason, Qining rushed over without stopping. But at this moment, Gu Qinghan was sitting in the room alive, even with a touching smile. Qining was afraid that he Dazzled, he raised his hand to rub his eyes and saw that Gu Qinghan had stood up. Although he had a coarse hairpin like Tian Xuerong, his figure was graceful and graceful. Under the light, that beautiful face was as delicate as a flower. Qining's heart was unprecedented. Joyful and excited, without saying a word, he rushed forward. Before Gu Qinghan could react, he took Gu Qinghan's arm, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. His voice was almost choked: "You... can you?" Scared me!"
Gu Qinghan's cheeks turned red as he hugged her, but she did not resist. Instead, she raised her arms and hugged Qining.
After a long time, Qining let go of his hands, held Gu Qinghan's shoulders, stared at Gu Qinghan's mist-like eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Sanniang, you are well, they... why did they say that?"
He knew very well that if it hadn't been for Gu Qinghan's instigation, Bai Shenghao and Tian Xuerong would never have brought back such news.
It was really unbelievable that Gu Qinghan had someone bring back the news of his death.
Gu Qinghan looked into Qining's eyes and saw the redness in his eyes. Knowing the reason, he raised his hand to touch Qining's face and said softly: "Unless Gu Qinghan dies, you and I will never be able to be together. You fool, you still don't understand the reason." ?”
Qi Ning was startled, looking at Gu Qinghan with a slight blush on his cheeks, he suddenly understood, held Gu Qinghan's hand, and whispered: "Who is Sanniang? Let the world think that you are no longer alive, so we can...!"
"You still call me Sanniang?" Gu Qinghan sighed quietly: "We can't be together if you call me that."
Qi Ning suddenly realized this.
When Gu Qinghan returned the news of his death, he naturally wanted to spread the news that he had passed away. In this way, everyone only thought that the third wife of the Qi family was really not alive, so that Gu Qinghan could truly leave Qining in another identity. together.
This seemed simple, but Qining knew that if Gu Qinghan had not made up his mind, it would be impossible to make such an arrangement.
The news of his death means that Gu Qinghan will no longer be able to live with his previous identity from now on, or even recognize his family again. This is of course an extremely painful decision.
But if he doesn't do this and Gu Qinghan is in the house, he will never be able to truly be with Qining.
This choice has shown that Gu Qinghan finally made up his mind after countless struggles.
Qining knew that Gu Qinghan had sacrificed too much for this, and was moved. He hugged Gu Qinghan's waist again and said softly: "I will call you sister from now on. Gu Sanniang is no longer alive, and the one who remains in time is sister Qinghan. , do you agree?"
Gu Qinghan lowered his head, his face was hot, he hummed softly, leaned over, leaned into Qining's arms, and sighed softly: "You are calming down the chaos in the capital, and I am worried day and night. Suddenly I understand, if I really don't have you, how can I live without you?" What's the point? I know you are sincere to me, but I don't dare to accept it. I once thought about going to a nunnery to become a monk, but you are such a lawless little bastard. If I really want to enter a nunnery, I'm afraid you will... Demolish the nunnery.”
"As long as you understand." Qining caressed Gu Qinghan's slender and soft waist: "I said that you are destined to be mine in this life, and you can't escape even to the ends of the world." Thinking that Gu Qinghan finally opened his heart and fully accepted himself, She was filled with joy, hugging Gu Qinghan's plump and soft body, and said close to Gu Qinghan's ear: "Let's not go back to Beijing yet, but we will live a fairy life here for a few days, just you and me, do you agree?"
Gu Qinghan leaned against Qi Ning and said softly: "Don't you have any official duties?"
"Don't worry about official business." Qi Ning picked up the beautiful lady and looked at her charming face. His heart was filled with excitement and he whispered: "Being with my sister is the most important thing."
Gu Qinghan has kept her body like jade for many years, but she is also made of flesh and blood. Everyone in the Jinyi Qi family is in awe of her. No one dares to say a joke in front of her. It is true that she has been suppressed for many years. In the beginning, Qining often teased, which made this beautiful girl often Her heart was beating wildly. At this moment, she was held in Qining's arms. She smelled the familiar scent of Qining, and felt a sweetness that she hadn't experienced in many years. Qining hugged Gu Qinghan and walked to the bedside. Gu Qinghan suddenly realized When he saw something, he hurriedly struggled and said in a low voice: "Don't do this nonsense, now... it's not done yet!"
