After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

Chapter 171 The entanglement between the four people 4

Ye Zhiqiu's questioning deeply hurt Shen Guihong's heart, and at the same time made him realize the evil side deep in his heart.

Yes, Ye Zhiqiu was right. Compared with his own wealth and glory, the woman he loved was really nothing.

Although she was cuckolded, she was really angry when she first found out about it and she wanted to fight the emperor to the death.

But he soon calmed down again, because compared with his own life and wealth and glory, even his beloved woman had to stand aside.

In fact, all these have always been deeply hidden in his heart. Sometimes even he himself dares not face them and chooses to deceive himself.

He keeps deceiving until even he himself starts to believe it seriously.

If Ye Zhiqiu hadn't exposed him in person today, he didn't know how long he would continue to deceive himself.

"Qiu'er, how did you know?" Shen Guihong's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of embarrassment.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at him and smiled miserably: "Husband, I love you, I'm not stupid."

In fact, she had already felt it from the beginning, but she was a little uncertain. But what he did today confirmed her suspicions.

When Shen Guihong heard this, his whole body was shocked and he stood there in a daze.

Tears silently fell from his eyes. He clenched his fists and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu'er, I'm sorry, but I still want to ask you to stay. You can't escape."

Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu showed such true feelings, he still couldn't change his mind, which was enough to show that his love for her was actually just like this.

She smiled silently in her heart and told herself: Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Zhiqiu! At this point, what are you still asking for? Didn't you see this fact clearly a long time ago?

After figuring this out, she regained her peace of mind.

"How can we know if we don't try?" Ye Zhiqiu smiled indifferently, then looked at him seriously, "Shen Guihong, if you still have any feelings for me, you should just pretend you don't know about this."

Ye Guihong was stunned, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously said: "Qiu'er, do you think I will report you to the emperor? Who do you think I am?"

Although it just happened, its starting point was actually that she was worried that she would be in danger if she went out alone.

"Is not it?"

This is another question from the soul.

Shen Guihong was silent. Indeed, just now, for a moment, he thought about reporting to the emperor. But it was just a thought, and he quickly rejected it.

He has already been so sorry to Qiu'er in this life. If he does something to hold him back again, he would be worse than a beast.

"Qiu'er, it seems that our love for each other has really come to an end today." Shen Guihong's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he sighed, "You can go now. Don't worry, I won't tell Zhao Yong about this."

Ye Zhiqiu was silent and never spoke again.

The two of them sat in the room in silence for a long time, and finally Shen Guihong left.

After Shen Guihong left, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't stay any longer because she was really afraid that the other party would go back on his word and tell Zhao Yong about this.

Although he had promised her the moment before, human hearts are the most complicated, and who knows if she will regret it the next second.

Originally, escaping in broad daylight was an extremely irrational act, but in an emergency, she didn't want to take the risk, so she had to act in advance.

He first told the abbess of the nunnery that he would not go out today and would stay in his room to pray for the Great Yan Kingdom.

When lunch and dinner were delivered, he just left them outside and repeatedly expressed that he did not want to be disturbed.

The abbot didn't know that she was planning to escape, so she agreed to her requests without any precautions.

Everything was ready. Ye Zhiqiu took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention to her and secretly ran out of Qingyue Temple.

Along the way, I followed the marks I made a few days ago and quickly went down the mountain.

The journey was exceptionally smooth. She couldn't help but feel excited and was once again full of fantasies about a bright future.

However, she didn't know that her departure would implicate everyone in Qingyue Temple.

By the time the people in Qingshui Temple discovered that she had run away, a day had passed.

This was the noble person brought by the imperial concubine, so the abbess went to find the imperial concubine immediately and told her about Ye Zhiqiu's escape.

When the concubine heard this, panic flashed in her eyes. This person was entrusted to her by the emperor, and now he was lost in her hands. How would she explain if the emperor asked about it?

The concubine did not dare to hesitate, and quickly wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to the palace at full speed.

At that time, Zhao Yong had important matters to deal with. The eunuch who delivered the letter did not know the seriousness of the situation. Seeing that the emperor was busy, he put the letter aside and waited to report to the emperor after he was done.

As a result, the eunuch forgot about the matter, and by the time the emperor found the letter himself, three days had passed.

This also provided Ye Zhiqiu with sufficient time to escape.

When Zhao Yong learned about this, he was furious and directly dealt with the young eunuch in anger.

Then he ordered a city-wide search to capture Ye Zhiqiu who had escaped.

After being furious, he abandoned all the affairs in the palace and rode a fast horse towards Qingyue Temple, which was dozens of miles away from the palace.

The emperor's sudden visit to Qingyue Temple frightened the abbess, and the concubine dowager also came down from her moon-gazing roof trembling with fear.

When the concubine met the emperor's furious eyes, she shrank back. She knew a little about the emperor's cruel methods.

From a small and unpopular prince, he climbed step by step to his current status. There is no doubt that his hands are stained with the blood of countless people.

In the palace, she was the one who had spent the longest time with the new emperor, and naturally she knew him best.

The concubine was kneeling on the ground at that time, thinking to herself, this time my life is over.

But what surprised her was that Zhao Yong let her go in the end. However, the nuns in Qingyue Temple suffered, as he did not let any of them go.

The troops brought with them at that time directly surrounded Qingyue Temple, and at the command they killed everyone without mercy.

Suddenly, Qingyue Temple turned into a hell on earth, with screams and wails, and bright red blood flowing out from the cracks in the door, all over the floor.

The concubine looked at this scene in shock and stood aside trembling. She only dared to turn her head slightly to observe the expression on the young emperor's face, feeling fortunate that she could keep her life and not be punished at all.

She was fortunate that she had always had a good reputation and her mother's family also had a certain power in the court, which immediately made the ruthless new emperor feel a little wary of her.

Thus, she was able to save her life temporarily.

Yes, it was temporary, it didn’t really save a life.

She didn't dare to be careless at this moment. After witnessing the scene of him slaughtering people in Qingyue Temple, she didn't dare to have any hope in her heart.

The concubine knew very well that if the emperor couldn't find that woman this time, he would vent all his anger on her.

But can that stupid woman really escape?

She thought it was impossible.
