Ge Qi originally followed Xiao Qingning's carriage quietly, when suddenly someone bumped into him diagonally, the two exchanged moves secretly, realizing that neither of them intended to alarm passers-by, they tacitly turned into a dark alley.

"I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to send a message to Miss Your Mansion." Ge Qi thought that the other party was the guard on Xiao's Grand Marshal Mansion, and tried to explain.

However, the visitor didn't talk much, and directly attacked, attacking the vital points, and Ge Qi had to use his real skills to deal with it.

After fighting in the dark alley for a long time, the opponent couldn't beat Ge Qi, and Ge Qi couldn't escape, until the opponent's companion found him and whispered a few words before retreating.

"He has helpers. If he really wants to take me down, the two of them will attack back and forth, and I will definitely not be able to escape." Ge Qi said.

Yu Qiu failed to catch up with Xiao Qingning, and returned to the mansion in frustration, told Wan Cai Lan not to tell what happened today, and then leaned limply on the soft couch.Hearing the words, he said weakly: "That is the person under the crown prince's hands, of course he is very powerful."

Ge Qi's eyelids twitched, "Miss, how do you know?"

Yu Qiu was not in the mood to speak, shook his head and did not speak, fell into meditation with his arms on his head.

When the father and daughter went to Lingnan in the previous life, the Xiao family was in trouble. According to what we saw today, Xu Boqian was not a good person, so he would definitely not treat Xiao Qingning kindly. Where did Xiao Qingning give her so much money back then?

Yu Qiu vaguely remembered the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air that day, and it was very cold. She couldn't remember what Xiao Qingning looked like or what she said.

After a moment of quiet thinking, Yu Qiu sat down at the table and took a pen to write down what she heard today. She wrote while recalling. When she thought of the distant cousin Tang Yinshuang mentioned by Xu Boqian, she hesitated for a moment.

Yu Qiu didn't have the slightest impression of Tang Yinshuang, but she should have seen him before.Because Xiao Qingning said on the Lianhu Painting Boat that Tang Yinshuang had picked up a handkerchief for Yu Manxiu during the Luming Banquet, and Yu Qiu was staying with Yu Manxiu at that time.

...No, that's unreasonable.

Yu Qiu hesitated, she felt as if something had been overlooked by her.

what is it then?Yu Qiu's heart beat fast, pounding, almost jumping out of his chest.She put down her pen, pressed her palm on her heart to calm herself down, and calmed down to think slowly.

Every time she went to banquets, the Yu family took her with her. Madam Yu always said that meeting the Xiao family would embarrass her, so whenever she saw the Xiao family's mother and daughter, she would immediately ask Yu Manxiu to take her away.

Xiao Qingning is Xiao Taiwei's granddaughter, and she is always in the most lively and interesting places with those famous ladies. If Yu Qiu wants to avoid her, he has to go to remote corners.

But Xiao Qingning knew exactly what happened to her at the banquet.

By the way, this is the one, because it was in a remote corner, so the story of Tang Yinshuang picking up the handkerchief for Yu Manxiu was not spread, so how would Xiao Qingning know?

...

Because she has been quietly paying attention to herself...

This thought rang in Yu Qiu's mind like thunder, and she sat there in a daze, taking a long time to move.

She finally realized that she had missed many details. For example, Madam Yu said that Madam Xiao would turn cold when she saw her, and Yu Manxiu said that Xiao Qingning was aloof and never looked at her directly.

The Yu family deliberately kept her alienated from the Xiao family.

Yu Qiu's heart was in turmoil. The more she thought about it, the more strange things she noticed, and the more uncomfortable she felt... Obviously, the truth had been laid out in front of her so many times, but she didn't see it at all.

Regret rushed towards her like a frenzy, pressing down on her heart, almost drowning her.

Yun Po is right, she really has no brains, and Yun Heng is also right, there are many things she should know.

Tears fell onto the rice paper, staining the wet ink one drop at a time, until the voice of the servant girl in the courtyard woke her up, and quickly wiped away her tears.

The past is gone, this life is undecided, and everything has a turning point.If you are stupid, think more and be more careful, and you can always find problems.

Yu Qiu wiped away tears with his cuffs, and cheered up.

There is still a chance for these things to turn around. The most important thing at the moment is to stop Xu Boqian's plot. She has three ways to go.

One is to do something to Xu Boqian, as long as he can't go to the birthday banquet at the general's mansion, this matter can be resolved.However, there were many servants in Duke Jingguo's mansion, and all Yu Qiu could use were maidservants, and the only one who was stronger was Ge Qi, which was still a hidden danger.

The second is to tell Xiao Qingning directly, she must have a way to deal with it.But Yu Qiu couldn't see Xiao Qingning, and there was no evidence, and this matter would easily affect the reputation of the girl's family, so she couldn't speak up.

In the end, she revealed this matter to Yun Heng as the fairy sister.He would not let someone do dirty things at his grandmother's birthday party.

There is still one day before Mrs. Gongyi's birthday, if don't see Xiao Qingning within this period of time, won't be able to see Yun Heng in dream...

Yu Qiu stood up abruptly, just as Ge Qi turned around and came back, she hurriedly said: "Hurry up! Go to the Yu Mansion quickly, and help me tell... Godmother, I will go with her to the old lady's birthday banquet!"

Just now she suddenly remembered that Yun Heng had said that the roster of people attending the banquet would be finalized tonight, and there would only be not many less in the future.In case she can't see Xiao Qingning and Yun Heng in these two days, there is only one chance at the birthday banquet to stop her!

Ge Qi didn't move, but said calmly: "Miss, what happened today is strange, why don't you think about it..."

Yu Qiu turned her head suddenly, and asked back, "Did Cai Lan tell you everything?"

You can know the answer by looking at his expression. Yu Qiu felt cold in his heart, closed his eyes, and nodded vigorously: "I know, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, you send the news first, hurry up!"

Ge Qi opened his mouth to persuade him again, but Yu Qiu had already seen that he had concerns, fearing that he would ruin Xiao Qingning's life by missing the last opportunity, so he simply called others to deliver the letter.

Ge Qi frowned, feeling as if something had disappeared from his fingertips. He tried to catch it but couldn't understand it. Looking at Yu Qiu again, he was already ordering others to deliver a message.

Before he could think about it, he instinctively said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

"...traveled all over the world, once killed people, and was later cleared of slavery by Lord Yu, and stayed in Yu Fu for nearly ten years, responsible for the big and small affairs of the mansion and the safety of Miss Yu's family."

After Ping Jiang finished talking about the information he found, Chang Ji added: "He is very skilled in martial arts, he doesn't want to hurt people, otherwise he may not lose to his subordinates alone."

Yun Heng has been staring at Yu Qiu for several days, knowing that she has always wanted to see Xiao Qingning, and today she just wanted to try her out, if she wasn't guilty, there was no need to avoid him.

Yu Qiu's reaction confirmed his guess, and the matter between Ge Qi and Xu Boqian was a windfall.

But that's good, with Xu Boqian's incident, he won't have to put bait to lure people into the cage.

Yun Heng thought to himself that it wasn't a disadvantaged nature, since Yu Qiu came to provoke him first, no matter what her purpose was or who ordered her to come, she would not be so easy to get away.

"Your Highness, Xu Boqian wants to..."

"Don't move him for now." Yun Heng said.

Just as he was talking, the guard reported that General Gongyi had arrived.

Gong Yiheng stepped forward and bowed his hands in front of the hall, "Prince."

Yun Heng smiled and stepped forward to help him up, "Please get up, uncle."

"Don't dare!" Gong Yiheng turned his face away and let out a heavy hum from his nasal cavity, showing his dissatisfaction with Yun Heng in words.

Yun Heng was still laughing, "Uncle is angry because of the grandmother's birthday banquet? Just leave this matter to Gu, so uncle doesn't have to worry about it."

"You know I don't intend to hold a big birthday party."

"But grandma is thinking about it." Yun Heng's expression was still gentle, and he explained to him patiently, "Grandmother likes to be lively, and the brothers and sisters in the house are all demure temperaments. It's rare to have a big birthday. Why not invite more people to make grandma happy?"

Gong Yiheng couldn't bear to look at his smiling face the most, and said with a livid face: "You know what I'm worried about."

Gongyi's family has a great reputation, and high status means worry. After Gong Yiheng took charge of the family, he strictly taught the children in the family. The children in the mansion were as honest as quails. They were humble and patient and never argued with others outside.

This time for the old lady's birthday, Gong Yiheng originally only planned to have a small gathering in the mansion, but he was not in the mansion for half a day, and the old lady was coaxed away by Yun Heng, and all the matters of the birthday were entrusted to him.

When he found out, all the birthday banquet posts were handed out.He objected, it was unfilial, he didn't object, he was terrified, it was too much limelight.

"Yunheng naturally knows, it's just uncle..." Yunheng raised his eyes, and the moonlight in his eyes flowed, and in just one breath, it seemed to change from the moonlight of Yaotai on a spring night to the cold hook of winter, leaving only a solitude, "From the day I set my mind on a great cause, you have no choice."

At this time, lamps were hung in the courtyard, the moonlight blended with the candlelight, the wind blew the bamboo leaves outside the window, and the mottled shadows entered the study room, swaying under Yun Heng's feet one after another.

Gong Yiheng looked at his nephew who was standing with his hands behind his back, his facial features were clearly displayed in front of his eyes, but he felt that there was frost and mist in between, making him unable to see clearly.

But he was right, since he thought about it, no matter whether it is Gong Yiheng, Gongyi Ying in the palace, or the children in his mansion, they have no choice.

Gong Yiheng was silent for a long time, and when he looked at Yun Heng again, he had returned to his smiling Yan Yan appearance.

This made Gongyi Heng angry again, he said: "Since you have a heart, you should think of the common people, instead of just caring about the peace and prosperity of the three-point land."

"I have my own measure." Yun Heng said.

Gong Yiheng clenched his fists tightly, making crisp joint sounds one after another, then cupped his hands angrily, turned and left.

Yun Heng watched his figure disappear, the smile on his face faded away, he sat back on the desk, and after reviewing the recent performances one by one, Ping Jiang handed over the birthday banquet roster.

Sure enough, Yu Qiu's name reappeared on it.

The only daughter of Yu Xingshu, sixteen years old and three months old, beautiful, innocent and loves to laugh, rarely goes out, and has no other friends except for being closer to the brothers and sisters of the Yu family.

But now he suddenly had a relationship with Xiao Qingning, and boldly pretended to be an immortal and wanted to use his hands to deal with the Yu family.

She is obviously so afraid of herself, but she still wants to take the risk to go to the birthday banquet, shouldn't she say that sisters love each other deeply?But she can ignore the friendship of her childhood sweetheart...

There must be a reason for sudden changes.Is there something wrong with the Yu family?There must be something else that he didn't find out.

It is possible to extract a confession directly by torture, but according to Yu Qiu's temperament, he is afraid that he will be too frightened to speak a word.

Yun Heng thinks that this girl is like a silly fish, just put down a straight hook, and she can take the initiative to bite the hook.

It was too easy to deal with her.

But the girl and this dreaming thing are very interesting, don't worry, let's see what purpose she wants to use herself to achieve.

He knew that Yu Qiu was in a hurry at this time, so he must have tried everything possible to dream of telling Xu Boqian about his plan to do something bad, but when he had bad thoughts, it was not what she wanted.

That night, he burned the tranquilizing incense, and he had no dreams all night.

Early the next morning, the guard sent a letter: The Xiao family sister and brother went out to the jade shop in the south of the city.

Before the birthday banquet, Yu Qiu can meet with Xiao Qingning, but she can't let her tell about Xu Boqian.

Yun Heng remembered that the lakeside was deceived by the two sisters together, and he really wanted to see the two sisters face to face again, especially the "Sister Immortal".

Then he ordered: "Leave the news to the fifth child, and say that the beautiful Mr. Yufeng from Xiao Taiwei's family has left the house."

At the same time, Yu Qiu, who had been anxious all night, also found out about this, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a carriage. If she could see Xiao Qingning today, she wouldn't have to take the risk of going to Mrs. Gongyi's birthday banquet!
