Qi Bai was squatting on the ground to check the injuries of the two people. Fortunately, there was no big problem, but Xiao Xi suddenly appeared behind him, which still shocked Qi Bai.
"I'm scared to death. Xiaoxi, come here quickly. Did something happen just now?"
Qi Bai vaguely felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, but Xiao Xi did appear in front of him safe and sound. No matter what happened just now, the most important thing now was to ensure Xiao Xi's safety.
Xiao Xi walked to Qi Bai's side obediently. It wasn't until he saw the two people lying on the ground that a look of fear began to show on his face.
"Are they... dead?"
Qi Bai didn't expect Xiao Xi to ask this, but he still turned around and took a look. Neither of them had any obvious trauma. They didn't look bad, and they were breathing evenly. They should have been put down by someone. It seemed like the one who came here They were merciful to them and did not kill them. But since they would attack this garden, it means they must be here for Xiaoxi. But why does Xiaoxi seem to be fine
"Don't worry, they won't die. Don't be afraid. Tell your brother everything about what just happened, okay?"
Xiao Xi has always had great trust in Qi Bai. Ever since he rescued Xiao Xi from the fire, no matter what happened, Xiao Xi has always relied on Qi Bai. But even Qi Bai has noticed that Xiao Xi's current expression is absolutely... It's not like anything happened.
"There was a strange person just now who said he would take me to find my parents. But I just followed him out. He seemed to have seen someone and abandoned me."
Xiao Xi's words were very general. After all, he was just a six-year-old child. Qi Bai did not expect Xiao Xi to provide any useful clues, but one thing was that this person was indeed here for Xiao Xi.
Qi Bai saw that the person on the ground seemed to be moving, and quickly pushed him. That was the person Shen Qianshan arranged to protect Xiao Xi. His skill should not be inferior to his, but he was attacked so easily. It was really a bit embarrassing. should.
"Um… "
The people on the ground opened their eyes in a daze, and saw Qi Bai with a serious face. He suddenly woke up and said, "Guard Qi." 0
"I asked you to protect the little princess well, and you're going to sleep here?"
How could Qi Bai not be angry? After all, if the person who kidnapped Xiao Xi hadn't accidentally released Xiao Xi back today, no one could predict what the consequences would be.
"Little Princess!"
"You go and receive the punishment yourself. The guards here will be handed over to others for the time being."
It was impossible for Qi Bai not to mutter in his heart. During the whole incident, Xiao Xi's behavior was a little too calm, not like a six-year-old child would behave. However, what she said was reasonable and reasonable. I couldn't find any loopholes in her words.
"Brother, Xiao Xi wants to go find Sister Liu Yun." Xiao Xi lay on Qi Bai's chest. Seeing such a scene, Qi Bai didn't care about being suspicious and quickly hugged the person in his arms tightly, "Okay, brother will take you there." Looking for Sister Liuyun.”
Because nothing major happened, Xiao Xi did not look frightened. Qi Bai was not prepared to tell Shen Qianshan about this matter. After all, the guards here were arranged by themselves, although there would not be any big problems. , but since something like this has happened recently, it’s best to be more vigilant.
"Xiaoxi, can you just follow Sister Liuyun during this period?"
After all, now he can be regarded as directly staying in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. With him by his side, Liu Yun and Xiao Xi will become safer, and Xiao Xi has always trusted them. This approach should be the most appropriate so far.
Shen Qianshan was sitting alone in the room, and Gu Qiang did not dare to come forward to disturb him. After all, Shen Qianshan must have made his own arrangements when making such a decision. Otherwise, Qi Bai and An Ye had also recently made such a decision. Neither of them had made any mistakes, so it was unreasonable to pull the two of them down for no reason.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" The place where Gu Huaian was reading was occupied by Shen Qianshan. He didn't have a quiet place to sit, so you put down the book and went to do other things, just to celebrate the New Year. The atmosphere disappeared all of a sudden. Although Gu Huaian didn't say anything, he could feel that the atmosphere in the entire Nine Princes' Mansion suddenly changed.
"It should be fine." Gu Qiang smiled bitterly. To be honest, she had no other choice but to say this. After all, for herself, she couldn't help Shen Qianshan at this time, and she felt very sorry. It's not good to cause him any more trouble at this time, but Gu Huaian can see that his sister is in a very bad mood now, but after experiencing so many things, Gu Qiang's temperament has slowly improved. I have calmed down and won't lose my temper over trivial things. For me, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Forget it, there are so many things up and down that you need to worry about, and don't waste your time on him. The fact that he didn't explain it clearly means that he already has a solution, and we don't have to worry about it anymore. Worrying too much about him.”
Gu Huaian said this to reassure his sister. It had been a long time since she had gathered together like this, and Gu Huaian also hoped that she could live a peaceful life for a few days.
After lunch, Gusu Liang took Zhui Feng and Zhui Yun out. Things in the palace were changing almost instantly. While they relaxed their vigilance, they also needed to understand what the other party's situation was like now. If Shen Zhongbai or Lou Ziqi wants to take advantage of this moment to give them a heavy blow, they should be more or less prepared, lest things happen and they are not prepared.
Shen Zhongbai really didn't have that much thought to deal with them at that time. After all, he was a royal family. For them, it would be better not to make any mistakes on a relatively large day. Even Shen Zhongbai didn't want to do anything wrong. Something would happen on such a day, so he was not prepared at all to attack the Nine Princes' Mansion at this time. Although Shen Zhongbai now knew clearly in his heart Feng Yao's true identity, he still hadn't reached the right moment. When he took action, Shen Zhongbai decided to calm down and wait for two more days. After the New Year was over and everything in the palace was settled, it would not be too late for him to take action against Shen Qianshan.
Since the Queen Mother dealt with some of the bad things about Concubine Qi, she seems to have returned to her previous state of indifference. For a person of her age, these things that happened in the harem, as long as they are not done well. It's too much. In fact, I won't even ask. In this palace, he lives in a relatively remote place. Except for larger occasions, he will not show up at all, which also saves himself a lot of trouble. .
"Mother, Concubine Shen has taken care of everything this year. Are you satisfied?" Did Shen Zhongbai think that Shen Qiangwei was much more powerful than he thought? It was a wrong decision. Shen Qiangwei helped herself a lot in many things. Not only did she help herself withstand the pressure in the harem, but she also managed these women obediently. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid Don't have this ability.
"Well, not bad." What the Queen Mother said was neither praise nor criticism. It could be regarded as a compliment to Shen Qiangwei. After all, few people in the palace could receive praise from the Queen Mother. Not only because of the Queen Mother The reason why she doesn't show up often on weekdays is because, except for Shen Qiangwei, no concubine in the entire harem can insist on going to the Queen Mother's palace every three days to pay her respects.
"As long as the queen is satisfied."
The position where Shen Qiangwei is sitting is not too far away from the two of them. After all, Shen Qiangwei is also the most senior woman in the harem except the Queen Mother. The sitting position is higher, which naturally makes the remaining people dissatisfied, but Tiantian and they couldn't say anything. Even the civil and military officials sitting below couldn't express any dissatisfaction with this woman with no identity or background. After all, everyone present knew in their hearts that Shen Qiangwei's Therefore, he was able to firmly hold his position in the harem, all because of Shen Zhongbai's silent support from behind, saying that no one dared to refute Shen Qiangwei, just because no one did anything to refute Shen Zhongbai blatantly.
However, Shen Qiangwei likes this state very much. She also knows that she comes from a humble background. Being able to reach this position is already a blessing obtained in her previous life. She should not ask for anything more, nor should she use it for Shen Zhongbai. His own affairs, and poisoned him.
But obviously when we are born, everyone should be equal...
Shen Qiangwei returned a polite smile to the Queen Mother and Shen Zhongbai, and continued to watch the performance in the hall intently, but she was always absent-minded.
After what happened at noon, Gu Qiang's mood was obviously disturbed. However, everyone had been busy with this meal for most of the day. The wine and food were all ready. Gu Qiang and Shen Qianshan's mood was also obviously... It was a lot better. Qi Bai and An Ye also figured it out and stopped worrying about their master replacing the two of them. They finally gathered around a table and sat down properly.
Gu Qiang had already prepared her big red envelope, and carefully took them out of the box where she kept her things. As soon as the dishes were served, she also placed the red envelope on the table.
"Don't call me stingy, this is all my own money."
