Xiao Qi leaned over and looked at Fang Zhiyuan kneeling in front of him, and said softly: "Isn't this what uncle wants?"

Fang Zhiyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, choked up his words and said, "Why did your Majesty say this? I am loyal to Your Majesty and I will never have any second thoughts. If..."

"There is no one around, so Mr. Rong Guo no longer needs to show his loyalty. Since he is here, I will naturally entertain him well. For the future safety of Mr. Rong Guo, your bodyguard is not enough. I will send more

People are here to protect you. It’s a rare trip to Yangzhou, so you must have a great time.”

Xiao Qi interrupted Fang Zhiyuan's words and looked at him indifferently. Although it was not yet time to fall out, he did not want to make a fuss with him. He should leave those beautiful words to others.

Xiao Qi stood up and left the pavilion. Fang Zhiyuan stood up slowly, brushed the dust off his clothes, and watched Fang Shuhuai slowly walk away.

Yuqiu said that it was true that Xu Miaoyin wanted to see Xu Jiaoyue, but it was Yuqiu who lied about saving Qiao Zhi.

Yuqiu was a smart person. She knew that the master would not come to ask the girl if she had lied. However, just in case someone else told her, she still told Xu Jiaoyue who was beside her: "When I see the girl later, don't mention the matter in the study."

, do you know?"

Xu Jiaoyue glanced at her and said, "You lied, right? Oh, don't worry, I'm not interested in your affairs and won't tell Xu Miaoyin. However, she is so smart, how long can you keep it secret from her?

"

Yuqiu felt embarrassed and annoyed by her rebuke, but could not refute. He just glared at her hatefully and walked quickly towards Lanyinyuan.

Xu Jiaoyue followed her, not taking it seriously.

Qin Zhan, who had always seemed invisible, now said: "She's right, it's best not to talk nonsense for a while to avoid getting into trouble."

Xu Jiaoyue stopped, looked at Qin Zhan and said, "Qin Zhan, do you want to know my real name?"

Qin Zhan looked at her doubtfully, not sure why she asked so suddenly.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Jiaoyue just smiled and quickly chased after Yuqiu.

Qin Zhan had an ominous premonition in his heart. He couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he could only follow her towards Lanyin Academy.

No matter what she wants to do, with him watching, she won't let her take risks.

The three of them entered Lanyin Courtyard and saw Yuqiu opening the locked door. Xu Jiaoyue snorted and rolled her eyes silently. It was already so obvious. If Xu Miaoyin hadn't noticed it yet, she would have doubted Xu Miaoyin's IQ.

.

When Yuqiu heard the slight sneer, she looked over coldly, with a faint murderous look in her eyes.

Qin Zhan stood up at this time, stood in front of Yu Qiu, and brought Xu Jiaoyue into the house.

Xu Jiaoyue was staggered. Just as she was about to blame Qin Zhan, she heard Xu Miaoyin's voice coming from the inner room, "Jiaojiao, is that you?"

Xu Jiaoyue agreed, glared at Qin Zhan, and walked into the inner room.

The inner room was a little dark because the doors and windows were closed. When Xu Jiaoyue entered, he only saw a person sitting on the soft couch in front of the window. Xu Jiaoyue slowly walked over.

Xu Miaoyin had been sitting here for a long time, and she looked towards her when she heard Xu Jiaoyue's footsteps.

Only then did Xu Miaoyin realize that the room was a little dark, so she lit a candle nearby, and the room slowly became brighter.

After Xu Miaoyin finished lighting the lamp, she returned to the soft couch and sat down. When she saw Xu Jiaoyue looking at her in disbelief, she smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiaoyue also slightly raised the corners of her lips, thinking that Xu Miaoyin already knew that she was not Xu Jiaoyue, she felt a little guilty, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for keeping it secret from you for so long, but please believe me, I will not hurt you.

"

Xu Miaoyin looked at her sincere eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

"Qi Jiaojiao, this is my name, so it's right for you to call me Jiaojiao." Seeing that Xu Miaoyin didn't mean to blame herself, Qi Jiaojiao relaxed.

"Jiaojiao, I understand how you treat me. If you hadn't reminded me several times, I wouldn't have discovered that Xiao Qi had concealed these things from me. I am grateful to you for this, but I am very confused.

Why do you want to help me?"

She could feel Qi Jiaojiao's kindness, but if she was the person Xiao Qi found to pretend to be Xu Jiaoyue, why would she suddenly choose to betray Xiao Qi and come to help her?

She admits that she has a villain's heart and a gentleman's heart. Although she feels that she has nothing left for others to plan, it is better for her to be cautious at this time. After all, she does not know the situation of her father and sister.

how.

Qi Jiaojiao was not unhappy because of Xu Miaoyin's obvious suspicion. If it were her, she would probably be the same. Who would believe someone who has betrayed him?

"When I help you, I am actually helping myself. I want to leave here and live the life I want. Another point is that, as the weaker party, women do not have much autonomy and autonomy in the current social system.

We have the right to decide, so I think we should help each other. Although I don’t have much power at the moment, but since it happened to me, I will not ignore it. Regardless of men and women, they are born equal, and everyone should grasp it.

It is your own destiny instead of being imprisoned by the other party, which is why I am trying to help you."

Although she didn't quite understand some of Qi Jiaojiao's words, Xu Miaoyin was deeply touched. It turned out that her help to him was just because they were both women, and it had nothing to do with blood or interests.

But it is so difficult to control one's own destiny. There are many restrictions on women in this world. She also tried to change, but she still couldn't change anything. She was fooled and applauded, but in the end she still went in the established direction.

"Jiaojiao, thank you. It's just that the world is like this. Even if I want to change, it won't be possible in an instant. There are too many fetters and too many helplessness for me to choose to compromise."

Qi Jiaojiao took her hand and said, "No, as long as you dare to think and do it, that's half the battle. Sister, uh, can I still call you that?"

Seeing Xu Miaoyin smiling and nodding, Qi Jiaojiao continued: "Sister, you should have realized that everyone around you is fake, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyin felt a little sad and said with a wry smile: "I did guess it all, so I wanted to leave and go find my grandfather to find a solution, but as you saw, I couldn't get out at all."

After this escape, Xiao Qi locked her up directly. She didn't know if she would have a chance to see her father and sister. Seeing that the fire was about to happen, she was more anxious than anyone else.

.

Seeing Xu Miaoyin's expression, Qi Jiaojiao was hesitant to tell her the truth now. She knew that so many people were lying to her, but she could still think rationally about how to get out of the predicament. In this way, Xu Miaoyin actually didn't have her.

Thinking so weak.

But she is so strong because she believes that her father and sister are still alive and well. If she knows the truth, it may be another blow.

Should she tell her then? Or let her find out on her own?

Qi Jiaojiao thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, let's find a way to escape together!"

Xu Miaoyin was slightly stunned and asked: "How to escape, Jiaojiao, do you have any other ideas?"

Qi Jiaojiao was about to take out the fake death pill when Qin Zhan walked in. After giving Qi Jiaojiao a warning look, he said to Xu Miaoyin: "Madam, Yuqiu and I have heard your conversation. If you still

Thinking about how to escape, I must take Qi Jiaojiao away."

"Madam, you know your master's temper. If you let him know that you and her are still thinking of escaping, she will definitely not survive!"

Although Qin Zhan's words were addressed to Xu Miaoyin, they were a warning to Qi Jiaojiao.

Xu Miaoyin pulled Qi Jiaojiao behind her and looked at Qin Zhan defensively.

"Madam, don't be nervous. I won't tell the master what you said, and naturally I won't kill her. It's just that you two can't stay together anymore. I have to take her away!"

After Qin Zhan finished speaking, he waited where he was and had no intention of taking Qi Jiaojiao away by force.

Qi Jiaojiao knew that Qin Zhan would not harm her. If he really wanted her to die, he would not tell them this now.

Qi Jiaojiao held Xu Miaoyin's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, he won't hurt me if I go with him. However, you have to take care of yourself and don't seek death. If you can't come back to life, it will be all in vain."

.”

After saying that, she shook Xu Miaoyin's hand again, and then followed Qin Zhan out of the inner room. Qin Zhan resigned and took Qi Jiaojiao to the back room.

Yuqiu came in with a food box, took out the food one by one, and walked into the inner room. Seeing Xu Miaoyin sitting on the soft couch in a daze, she walked over and said softly: "Girl, you didn't eat lunch.

You still need to eat some amount for dinner, otherwise it won’t ruin your health.”

Xu Miaoyin glanced at the food on the table. They were all her favorites. If anyone in the world knew her preferences best, the only people in the world were Yuqiu and Yuchun, who had served her closely for so many years. But where are they now?

, whether he is dead or alive, she doesn’t know at all.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Yuqiu and said calmly: "Yuqiu and Yuchun have grown up with me. They are not relatives but they are close relatives. You have really worked hard to be able to stay by my side for so long without showing any flaws.

"

Yuqiu felt ashamed of Xu Miaoyin, so she knelt down with a plop and said with guilt in her eyes, "Madam..."

Xu Miaoyin did not look at her, and said as if talking to herself: "You are also taking orders from others, so how can I blame you? The only blame is that I don't understand people well and lead the wolf into the house."

Xiao Qi walked into the inner room. He had already heard Xu Miaoyin's words at the door. He glanced at Yuqiu who was kneeling on the ground and ordered: "Yuqiu goes down first."

Yuqiu stood up, glanced at Xu Miaoyin worriedly, and turned around to go out.

Xiao Qi glanced at the food on the table, walked up to Xu Miaoyin, and said, "No matter how angry you are, you should eat your food first."

Xiao Qi took Xu Miaoyin's hand and brought her to the table, and Xu Miaoyin unexpectedly obeyed. Xiao Qi was a little surprised and frowned slightly. He always felt that nothing good would happen to her being so obedient.

Xu Miaoyin was really thinking about how to escape again without anyone noticing. As she was thinking about something, she also noticed the surprise on Xiao Qi's face.

"No matter how uncomfortable I feel, I will not be in trouble with my body." After saying that, he picked up the tonic soup at hand and drank it.

Seeing her so calm, Xiao Qi had a bad feeling.

Seeing that he lowered his eyes and said nothing, Xu Miaoyin called Yuqiu to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks for Xiao Qi. When Yuqiu brought the bowls and chopsticks, she handed the chopsticks to him and said, "You haven't eaten either, right? Let's eat together."

!”

Xiao Qi took the chopsticks, but still looked at Xu Miaoyin with a serious look on his face.

She is not normal. With her temperament, she can still talk to him so calmly and naturally. Then she must be planning something?

Xiao Qi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "What are you planning? If you want to escape, it's best to stop thinking about it as soon as possible. Now you are my people inside and outside, you can't escape!"

Seeing the excitement on his face, Xu Miaoyin just smiled and didn't answer him. She just ate the food in the bowl.
