There are many pleasure boats by the lake. It is early spring now, and although the flowers are not in full bloom yet, it is still nice to enjoy the scenery from a pleasure boat.
After getting off the carriage, Qu Moying boarded a pleasure boat.
It was just an ordinary small pleasure boat, very common, with only one person rowing at the stern and another person in the front ready to pull the rope.
"Boatman, let's set sail!" Yuchun said loudly.
"I am so sorry, miss, please change to another boat. We are not doing business today!" A middle-aged man came out from the back of the boat, looked at the master and servant, spoke politely, but his expression was not very good.
"Hey, what do you mean? You don't even want to do business?" Yuchun said.
"I really am powerless!" said the middle-aged man with a wry smile. Upon closer inspection, his face was sallow and he looked very bad, and he looked listless.
"Boatman, is there anything wrong?" Qu Moying asked softly.
"What could be the problem? I'm just sick." said the middle-aged man.
"Since you are sick, go see a doctor. I know a doctor named Ji." Qu Moying continued.
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and looked at Qu Moying in front of him in horror. His lips trembled twice, and it took him a while to find his voice: "How old is the doctor surnamed Ji? I also know a doctor surnamed Ji, but I don't know if it's the one the young lady is talking about!"
"It should be the same person, from Jiangnan, just arrived in Beijing." Qu Moying smiled.
The middle-aged man began to tremble, and looked at Qu Moying with excitement. Suddenly he came to his senses, walked to the bow of the boat, untied the cable, turned around and rowed the pleasure boat away from the lakeshore.
When they reached the center of the lake, the middle-aged man returned to the cabin.
"Yuchun, go and help steer the boat." Qu Moying said. Yuchun was born in a fishing family and was not familiar with the things on the boat.
Although I feel
Although the young lady's behavior was very strange, Yuchun still obediently went to the bow of the boat to steer the boat.
"You...you are..." the middle-aged man said excitedly with a yellow face.
"How's the Ji Mansion?" Qu Moying asked straight to the point.
The middle-aged man in front of him used to be the guard of his father Ling Anbo before his rebirth. He followed his father to the battlefield and then retired. He just sat here, rowing the pleasure boat and entertaining guests, but in fact, he was a hidden spy planted by his father.
When I married into the palace that day, my father must have discovered something, so he told me about it and asked me to write down the words he would say to people, telling her to come find him if anything happened to him.
She was so focused on getting into the bridal sedan that she didn't pay any attention to her father's expression. She thought what her father said was true. She was getting married, not going to a war, so how could anything possibly happen to her
Thinking about it now, my heart is bleeding. If... If she had cared more at that time, would the result be different
This pleasure boat is easy to find. Unlike other pleasure boats, this one has two green ribbons tied on it, making it look like a green flower.
"My uncle is dead!" The middle-aged guard knelt down with tears on his face.
Although Qu Moying was prepared, her legs went weak and she almost fell. She reached out to hold on to the corner of the table and bit her lips hard. The sharp pain made her sober up a little. She steadied herself and asked with difficulty, "How... did you know?"
“Something happened at the Ji Mansion, and I took a few people there, but we only saw Master Bo… Master Bo…” The middle-aged guard burst into tears, and he couldn’t describe the scene at that time. “We wanted to save Master Bo, but… but we all died there, and only I escaped, and Master Bo also… also…”
So my father didn't die in the Prince's Mansion, but in the Ling Anbo Mansion? Did Ji Youran lie
"How many of you have
"People?" Qu Moying asked with tears in her eyes.
"Not many, only a dozen!" said the middle-aged guard.
Qu Moying took a deep breath and stated her identity in a deep voice: "I am the cousin of the Crown Princess, the fourth daughter of Minister Qu's mansion. Before the Crown Princess died... she sent someone to tell me about you. You all had military posts in the past. Can you return to the army? I'm afraid that if you showed up that day, people would be suspicious!"
"Of course, the Lord prepared military posts for us." The middle-aged guard said, "Did something happen to the Crown Princess?"
They were still waiting for news from the Crown Prince's Mansion, but they had been unable to contact the Crown Princess.
"Yes, something happened to the Crown Princess. You all should disperse first. I will find you later... later!" Qu Moying said decisively. This was the best arrangement she could make at the moment. She didn't need these people for the time being. Her father had just gotten into trouble, and they were in chaos all of a sudden. It was most likely that something would happen. If she continued to let it go like this, maybe not even one of them would be able to be saved.
Blood debt must be repaid with blood, she will do so at all costs, but for now she has to preserve her strength.
"Miss Qu Si, I am Zhou An, a minor official in the Ministry of Justice. If Miss Qu Si needs me in the future, I will be loyal to you!"
Zhou An said gratefully, he didn't expect that the Crown Princess was still thinking about them before the accident. Now he was at a loss, and Fourth Miss Qu's words pointed out a new world for them.
Since everything was settled, Qu Moying did not stay long. Zhou An returned to the stern and took the helm again. Qu Moying and Yu Chun became ordinary tourists, enjoying the scenery in the pleasure boat.
The pleasure boat returned to the shore.
Suddenly, "bang!" The pleasure boat seemed to hit something, and Qu Moying staggered and almost fell.
Just as I was about to speak, there were a few more "bang, bang, bang" collisions, and the pleasure boat was almost capsized...
