A deep bloody scratch was left on the skin and flesh.
"Master."
Everyone was shocked. Jing Qing was furious and flew forward to attack the beauty. However, the beauty was stunned that Shangguan Jinghong did not fight back. She hesitated for a moment and had no time to resist.
She was just about to receive the blow, but saw Jing Qing's expression suddenly change. She was swept away by a gust of wind and had to retreat several steps before she could stabilize herself in a panic.
Just then, she heard four angry shouts and was startled. Then she realized that Qiaochu was no longer in the hands of the two men.
Shangguan Jinghong moved very quickly and snatched Qiaochu away. He moved and was already several steps away, holding Qiaochu with one hand.
Qiaochu was also caught off guard. His eyes glanced at the back of Shangguan Jinghong's hand, but he finally said in a faint voice, "I want to go back."
"No." Shangguan Jinghong said slowly, a trace of sadness flashed across her lowered eyes, and there was also a hint of determination that she didn't understand.
He stared at Qingling.
"Yes, she doesn't know everything, but if you are not the one who has been involved in this plan from beginning to end, you don't have to know everything! If I lose this time, I will never have a chance to turn things around. She is very smart, but she is worse at acting than any of us. I can't guarantee that she can do it without any flaws after knowing. She has to face Rong Rui, the old fox. There is a slight sense of relief on her face. Once Rong Rui sees through it, we will have no way out."
"I really didn't lie to you that day. I never thought you would come back. I was really sick those days. I didn't even know that Uncle Tie went to look for you. That was the first time I was sick in my 22 years of life. I wanted to regain power. To make it more realistic, I used Xia Haibing's mouth to tell Rong Rui the truth about the night search of the Prince's Mansion. The consequence of doing this is that Rong Rui will never let you go, but the Qiaochu in my mansion is fake. If he wants to kill Qiaochu, I let him do it. Maybe I can try to hide it from him. If I really can't hide it, you would have already fled. But you came back."
"In this plan, Shen Qingling must disguise herself to get close to 'Lin Hailan', otherwise the plan will not succeed. Do you know why? Because if everything was really planned by the prince, he must be sure that the one sent to Rongrui is the real Shen Qingling, otherwise it would be a false accusation. But the Shen Qingling in the Rui Palace is a fake, so he must have switched her along the way."
"I have carefully considered every step a hundred times, including what Shangguan Jinghao would do at every step, including Rongrui's reaction and approach. The only thing I didn't expect was that Rongrui would grant the marriage. At that time, I could refuse, but if I didn't, he would have killed you immediately. It is almost impossible to send away a person targeted by the emperor, not to mention that I would never let you go. Do you remember what I said? I let you go because you wanted to come back. If you come back, I will never let you go again."
Shangguan Jinghong laughed in a low voice, which was full of self-mockery, but also carried an irresistible strength.
"I know you don't like doing this, and I know you must hate me, but I have lived in such an environment since I was a child. I hold the lives of all of us here in my hands. Yours, and the child in your belly."
Qiaochu was unable to break free from the opponent's grip, so she turned her head to avoid it. However, the burning gaze above her head made her know clearly that he was staring at her closely, and these words were addressed to her -
She listened quietly, but her mood was turbulent. A deep bitterness surged in his every word, and she fell deeper into his arms, unable to struggle free.
"Fifth brother, you take everyone away first, we will meet again another day. Uncle Tie, you and Jing Ping and Jing Qing should go up first, Uncle Fang, you take these two girls out."
Shangguan Jinghong held her tightly, not even giving her a chance to breathe, and then gave her another strong order. Qiaochu knew that he had something to say to her and Shen Qingling.
Seeing that familiar yet cold pair of eyebrows, Shen Qingling took a deep breath. The original joy had long gone. She had done so much for him, but was treated like this in return
Shangguan Jinghong, is this fair
Even the fact that she agreed to the marriage was for Qiaochu. She felt pain and hatred in her heart, and was extremely angry. She pointed at everyone and gritted her teeth and said, "No one is allowed to leave. Shangguan Jinghong, what do you want to say? Say it in front of everyone!"

Shen Qingling pointed at him with a hard look in her eyes, and said, "Speak, Shangguan Jinghong, you speak!"
"We were all witnessed by my father and the others at the beginning. Now you want to betray me, but you don't dare to say it in front of them? You coward!"
"Qing'er, let's take our leave first. You can have a good talk with Lao Ba."
King Huaining sighed and said with a wry smile, he was a man, and also a man who had concubines, so he understood what Shangguan Jinghong was going to say.
From the day of farewell, the moment Qiaochu turned around, the indifference in Shangguan Jinghong's eyes faded away bit by bit. He stared at her back with despair until she disappeared, his feet still nailed to the spot without moving. From that day on, all of them finally understood more clearly than ever what kind of feelings Shangguan Jinghong had for Qiaochu.
It is no longer the mirror image with broken memory, but the real thing.
After all the tolerance during this period, Shangguan Jinghong has now regained power. His tolerance has reached its limit. He has everything and cannot stand the gap between him and Qiaochu. However, he does not want to embarrass Qingling, so he lets them leave.
Shen Qingling's eyes revealed an almost crazy stubbornness. He glanced at everyone slowly and said with a cold smile, "I know you have been deceived by Qiao Chu just like him. I don't blame you, but if you still consider me a friend, then listen to what I have to say before you leave!"
Zong Pu stopped first, and everyone else slowly stopped as well.
"Ling, why are you doing this?" Shangguan Jinghong chuckled, with a deeper bitterness and cruelty on the corners of his mouth.
Finally, he stared at her without any hesitation and said slowly: "If we talk about the beginning, we never started. When I loved you, you didn't love me. Now, I no longer love you."
"If you don't love me, why did you say Shuangquan, let me live with her, and ask me to try to accept her?" Shen Qingling asked with a sob, but her eyes were full of deep hatred as she looked at Qiaochu.
Shangguan Jinghong half-turned his body to cover Qiaochu, and smiled in the same way: "It's not that you accepted her, but in my heart I hoped that she could accept you. Saying that we both had it was just a lie, deceiving you and myself. From then on, I no longer loved you."
Qiaochu looked at the tall figure in front of him trembling slightly, as if he was letting go of more than ten years of feelings in the story. There was no joy in his heart, but instead a little bit of pain.
She understood his pain at that moment. Ten years is not long, but it is not short either, especially for a teenager. The ten years spent with a person in a teenager is hard to replace by anyone.
"I once said that I would not marry you, but unfortunately now the emperor's order is hard to disobey, and you and I have no choice but to do it. But after we get married, I will protect your innocence, and when everything is over in the future, I will give you freedom and protect your life."
Shangguan Jinghong suddenly stopped laughing, and his voice became even lower. He spoke very slowly, with a serious tone.
As if that was a promise.
For her, for Qingling.
Qiaochu closed his eyes to hide the moisture in them, but tears slowly flowed down Shen Qingling's eyes. She looked at everyone with confused eyes, looking embarrassed, and everyone turned their heads away.
Shen Qingling cried and laughed hoarsely, staring at the man in front of her, but he stood there holding Qiaochu, his body motionless—
"When you drove Bishui away, I comforted her and said that you had only temporarily lost your memory. When your memory comes back, you will understand who has been with you all these years and who has stayed with you even when you were in the most difficult times."
"You will regret it, you will definitely regret it..." She said painfully, her eyes suddenly shot at Qiaochu like an arrow, "Lin Yu, it's you, it's you, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't treat me like this. I knew him first in that life, and I was here first in this life. I have decided to stay here with him. Qin Ge is for you, why do you want to take him away too, why are you so cruel! "
"You will be punished, you and your child will be punished, you are a woman who took away other people's happiness, you will die tragically like Qin Ge, all the blood will be drained out of your body, no, Qin Ge is not dead yet, he said he wanted to be with me..."
"Siwei..." Looking at Qingling's grief-stricken and helpless appearance at this moment, although this person had repeatedly tried to kill him, they were classmates after all, and they were destined to be together in two lifetimes. Qiaochu couldn't help feeling sad.
At this moment, I suddenly heard her talking about the future generations. I saw a bloody and vicious light flashing in her eyes, and I felt a chill all over my body.
In the next life, Lin Yu knew Qin Ge first, and in this life, Si Wei knew Shangguan Jinghong first.
None of them is her.
Was it she who took away Siwei's happiness...
Looking at the scene before them, everyone felt increasingly depressed. No matter what, after knowing each other for many years, no one wanted to see Qing Ling in such a miserable state.
But her sudden words shocked everyone. What is this life and that life? Who is Qin Ge
Peilan and Dong Ning exchanged glances quickly. They had both heard Qingling mention the name Qin Ge on the night Shangguan Jinghong went to rescue Qiaochu, and they couldn't help but feel surprised and suspicious for a moment.
Lin Yu, Qin Ge... Shangguan Jinghong's heart skipped a beat, but the person in his arms was breathing disordered at this time, so he had to suppress his doubts for the time being. Although he did not believe in or fear gods and ghosts, he was also taboo about Qiaochu and the child, especially since Qiaochu was weak and had little luck. Thinking of this, his heart was suddenly filled with anger, and he said coldly to the other party: "Uncle Fang, take Miss Shen back to the room to rest."
Qing Ling was extremely angry and grief-stricken, but then he came to his senses and sneered, "You eunuch, don't touch me! Zong Pu, walk with me."
Fang Ming smiled bitterly. Everyone was stunned and angry when they heard what she said, but if they wanted to say anything to her, they couldn't open their mouths at this time.
"You are the niece of a eunuch."
The one who said this was Shangguan Jinghong. He picked up Qiaochu by the waist and walked towards the iron gate without looking back.
Did he not care if she was with another man? Her nails dug deep into her palms. Shen Qingling gritted her teeth and followed Zong Pu closer. She slowly regained some strength in despair. She hadn't lost yet! She had just spoken too hastily. Qin Ge's matter...
Moreover, she didn't believe that Shangguan Jinghong was ruthless to her in public. Shangguan Jinghong was kind to Qiaochu, partly because Qiaochu was in poor health, and the two of them had already had physical contact. If one day, she and him...
"Zong Pu..."
Seeing Zong Pu frowning and looking at Dong Ning, Qing Ling laughed at himself and walked quickly into the woods.
Dong Ning avoided Zong Pu's gaze and held Pei Lan's hand.
Zong Pu finally followed.
Peilan sighed, but King Ning hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Let's go first, Xiaoyao, I also want to ask you, has your sister Qiao ever mentioned Qin Ge to you?"
…
"Why don't you let Uncle Tie and the others go down and rest first? Let's take a walk in the garden, okay?"
Outside the courtyard, the sound of the night watchman's beating was heard, which suddenly brought Qiaochu back to her confused thoughts. She suddenly raised her head from Shangguan Jinghong's arms, only to see Shangguan Jinghong staring at her infatuatedly.
She couldn't help but feel a slight movement in her heart and uttered a sound.
Then he remembered something and shook his head, "It's three o'clock in the morning. You have to go to court in two hours. You need to rest for a while. Let's go back."
"No, I'm not tired at all. I'll go for a walk with you right now."
Shangguan Jinghong was unwilling to do so. His eyes lit up immediately, and he seemed very happy. He turned sideways and told Lao Tie and others who were following him: "Uncle Tie, you go back first."
Qiaochu also looked at the four beautiful ladies. The four beautiful ladies hesitated, but when they saw Qiaochu nodded, they had to retreat.
The sky is vast, the earth is vast, the stars are curling, and there are twinkling river bridges winding across the sky. There is a huge garden, tree-lined flower paths, rockery and fish ponds, and creeks, lakes and pavilions not far away. The sound of gurgling water comes from everywhere, adding a touch of tranquility to this quiet early summer night.
"Put me down, you must be tired after all the hard work today."
Shangguan Jinghong held her and walked towards the pavilion in the lake. The faint smell of alcohol and sweat on his clothes was like a rope rubbing against his heart, causing Qiaochu to say what he wanted to say first.
"Are you feeling sorry for me..."
Shangguan Jinghong's voice was a little hoarse, but he hugged her tighter, with no intention of letting her go.
Qiaochu was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and Shangguan Jinghong did not say anything. However, many guards and servants on duty passed by on the road and greeted the two of them.
It was not difficult to see that everyone's face was filled with awe and joy because their master was back in power.
Although the emperor's mind is hard to predict, Qiao Chu has a feeling that after this time, Shangguan Jinghong will not easily withdraw from the court again.
She thought, it would be nice if he flicked her head lightly.
When she looked, she saw that he had already carried her to the destination and was sitting down in the pavilion.
"Qiaochu, if you have anything you want to ask me or tell me, just say..."
His fingers gently stroked her face, and his voice suddenly became a little low, with a hint of annoyance.

"Why did you say that just now? Why did you lie to Qingling?"
She hesitated for a moment, then finally asked in a low voice.
Shangguan Jinghong suddenly smiled, "Hmm?"
"You said the only thing you didn't guess was the arranged marriage. You actually guessed that this was possible a long time ago, right? Your father's arranged marriage seemed to have two reasons. One was to settle Qingling. After all, Qingling had no way out. The other was because of... me."
Qiaochu smiled lightly, but found that his mouth was still full of bitterness.
No one likes the feeling of being concealed and deceived, but in a sense, this man is not wrong. After all, they live in different environments.
They don't have much time left.
She is aware of her illness.
