The waning moon has set, and the sky is filled with stars.
It was almost Yinshi, and Xia Chu's figure finally appeared outside the window.
She didn't dare to leave from the main entrance, so she naturally chose to jump out of the window and go around. Yuefengwan really didn't take much precautions against her. Although she spent some time walking through the side hall, she didn't see many guards guarding her along the way.
Until she passed a courtyard and heard the "clang" sound of someone trying to open the door and shaking it desperately.
Xia Chu looked at the lights under the eaves and saw that the door was locked. Although he felt strange in his heart, he had no intention of going to meddle in other people's business.
Just as she walked around the courtyard and was about to leave the side hall, a sharp scream suddenly came from behind.
Her first reaction was that the cat was leaning down, fearing that the cry would attract the guards. After waiting for a moment, she found that no one paid any attention to her, and then she plucked up the courage to continue leaving.
Just when she straightened up, a hoarse and helpless cry suddenly came from the room: "Let me out..."
Xia Chu's straightened back suddenly stiffened, and she turned around to look at the courtyard. The door no longer clanged, but a woman's figure was still reflected in the candlelight, and she slapped the door from time to time.
And the shout that made her stop just now was extremely familiar to Xia Chu.
That's... Su Qianle's voice!
Xia Chu always thought that Fei Lian took Su Qianle away and handed it over to Li Fei. Although she had long been of no use value, there was no reason for Yue Fengwan to take her all the way back to the Western Region.
But she did hear it clearly just now.
Her footsteps moved towards the house in the courtyard. Although she knew that leaving now was the safest choice, she knew that Su Qianle was in that house. After all, she was full of suspicion and couldn't help but want to go and take a look.
Fortunately, there were no guards guarding the courtyard. Xia Chu looked around under the candlelight and saw no one else. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that maybe Su Qianle was a weak woman and could not restrain a chicken. It's not surprising that Li was locked in the house again and left unattended.
Fortunately, although she changed her skirt, the original belt was still covered.
Xia Chu took out a needle and opened the copper lock on the outside. There was a 'click' sound, and the figure inside also stiffened.
Almost at the same time, one pulled the door and the other pushed it, and the noses of Su Qianle and Xia Chu almost touched. The two faces were so close that they were clearly visible in each other's eyes.
"Master, it's really you!" Su Qianle's eyes instantly showed a hint of joy, and she held Xia Chu's wrist with both hands. The force was so strong that she felt a sudden pain in her wrist.
"Are you blind?" Xia Chu pushed her away and checked his wrist. Under the light, he could still see a red dot at the pulse point.
Her brows tightened, her eyes became cold, and she was startled. She sprinkled some medicinal powder to check if there were any signs of poisoning around the red spot.
"Master, do you suspect that I poisoned you?" Su Qianle was waved away by her, and she looked at her series of skillful movements with a blank look on her face.
When Xia Chu saw that there was nothing unusual around the red dot, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. In the past, Su Qianle didn't know that she was wearing men's clothing, but now she was wearing a bright red dress, and Su Qianle could still blindly call her. Master
There was a trace of suspicion in her eyes, and she took out an antidote pill from her sleeve and swallowed it just in case.
Xia Chu looked around the room. Although she was locked in the room, the furnishings in the room were very elegant, and it didn't look like she was being treated badly.
"Yuefeng treats you well." Xia Chu said calmly.
But this simple sentence made Su Qianle turn pale and shout excitedly: "Why did you say the same thing as that bitch!"
Xia Chu's brows were furrowed, and there was a look of disgust on his face: "If you continue to be a bitch when you talk and a bitch when you keep your mouth shut, I will leave right now."
Su Qianle held her hands on the table to support her body, laughed miserably, and said in a harsh tone: "Should I call her the noble Princess Qianlan?"
"It's not a bad idea." Xia Chu raised her eyebrows lightly and then asked her, "Yuefeng brought you thousands of miles to the Western Region. What's the purpose?"
Su Qianle's face showed an expression of emotion, and there was a swaying thought in her voice: "Isn't it just to ask the young master to save me?"
Xia Chu sneered. If she were the gentle and simple woman in the past, she would.
But now...
Xia Chu unfolded her skirt and waved it in front of Su Qianle's eyes: "I am not your young master, how long will you continue to be stubborn about it?"
Su Qianle's expression suddenly turned ugly. Her eyes were half-cast, with a hint of coquettish tone. She came closer to him obediently, pressed Xia Chu's hand that raised the skirt, and gently shook her little finger. In a flash: "You still look good in men's clothing."
Xia Chu felt a surge of energy and blood in his chest. He waved her away, turned towards the door and said, "I think it would be good for you to stay in this place in the Western Region for the rest of your life. I will tell Princess Qianlan that if you Be safe and secure for the rest of your life."
Su Qianle screamed at her back as she turned and stepped forward: "Tell her what? She is the one who kidnapped me here! Bullying me, humiliating me, imprisoning me, banning me!"
Xia Chu's body froze, and he turned to look at her. Seeing that her expression was excited and not fake, he murmured suspiciously: "She brought you to the Western Region, not Yue Fengwan?"
Su Qianle sneered: "You abandoned me because of my sincerity, but you don't know that bitch... no, the noble and beautiful Princess Qianlan in your heart is the one behind your back. How many things have you really done?"
Xia Chu didn't know why Lan Yuying would bring her to the Western Region, but she didn't have any doubts in her heart because of Su Qianle's words. She just looked at Su Qianle with cold eyes, and was completely heartbroken by her stubbornness. : "Are you worthy enough to be compared with her?"
Su Qianle seemed to be extremely sensitive to the word 'worthy'. She suddenly became very excited and took two steps closer to the door. Her face, which was originally like a flower, smiled ferociously and terrifyingly: "I'm not worthy? She's toying with you." In the palm of your hand, you are still protecting her!"
Xia Chu put his hand on her shoulder to prevent her from getting too close.
Su Qianle stopped, but there was a sinister light in her eyes: "She hid her identity from you, she assassinated the emperor, she imprisoned me here, and humiliated me in every possible way. Even I was surprised by her transformation. I have never seen her change. She looks so vehement and fierce. Ask your heart, is she still the same woman in your heart who has not changed and is untainted by dust?"
A hint of helplessness flashed under Xia Chu's eyelashes, but when she raised her eyes to look at Su Qianle, her eyes were bright, firm, and clear.
Her voice was low but with an unquestionable tone, and she looked at Su Qianle for a moment: "Yes."
