Song Qingshu's Xuan Gong recovered and he hurriedly sat down and began to expel the poison. With his current strength, he quickly forced out a drop of golden poisonous blood from the tip of his finger.
However, the Golden Wave Flower was a strange poison in the Golden Book, and now it was lingering in his internal organs. If he wanted to force out all the poisonous blood, he was afraid that it would not be done overnight.
Song Qingshu did not know whether the recovery of the True Qi in his body was permanent or temporary, so she did not dare to delay and continued to expel the poison.
With the operation of his Xuan Gong, his body gradually emitted a trace of white gas. After an unknown period of time, his heart suddenly trembled because the True Qi in his body suddenly had a trace of obscure feeling.
"Oh no, it seems that it is too early to be happy." Song Qingshu hurriedly stopped and did not dare to continue to expel the poison. He was worried that if the True Qi suddenly disappeared halfway, it would cause the poison to backfire.
However, although he was cautious enough, he did not expect the True Qi to disappear so quickly. Just when there was an obscure feeling, the next moment the True Qi circulation suddenly broke, he did not have time to stop in time.
Without the suppression of True Qi, the poison of the Golden Wave Flower came back, and it was a bit more fierce than before. Song Qingshu groaned and then fainted.
"You … What happened to you?" Qi Fang was sitting on the side in a daze. Seeing that Song Qingshu suddenly fainted, she was also at a loss. "Wasn't it all right just now?"
Checking the other person's pulse, it was frighteningly chaotic. Qi Fang thought in her heart: Could it be that he accidentally went crazy when expelling the poison?
At this time, there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door: "Madam, Madam?"
Hearing that it was Taohong's voice, Qi Fang was shocked. She looked at Song Qingshu on the ground with some guilt and hurriedly pulled the screen in front of him. Then she pretended to be calm and asked: "What's the matter?"
"There are officers and soldiers on the ship to search, I specially came to remind Madam." Taohong replied.
Qi Fang frowned: "Remind me for what? Do they dare to come here to search?" Normally, she did not put on airs, but now that there was a strange man hiding in the room, and the other party was a wanted criminal, she had no choice but to put on the airs of the Young Madam of the Prime Minister's residence.
Taohong's panicked voice was heard: "I also told those people about Madame's identity, but the leading general did not give in the slightest, he said that this was Li Tidu's order, to strictly search all the boats, carriages, horses, and pedestrians leaving Yangzhou, not a single nook and cranny is to be let off, no one is to be exempted, it seems like it is to capture a criminal surnamed Song."
It turned out that those soldiers were lured away by Xiao Long Nu. Later on, they finally recognized that the person behind her was just a scarecrow. When Li Kexiu received the news, she was furious. She ordered to seal off the waterways and investigate all suspicious people.
Li Kexiu understood that if Song Qingshu managed to escape this time, he would be in big trouble. Therefore, even though he knew that this would offend many influential families, he still ordered the soldiers to check every room at all costs.
"What!" Hearing Taohong's words, Qi Fang couldn't help but exclaim, her beautiful face turning pale as she looked at the other side of the screen. When that group of soldiers came in, how could a mere screen hide people?
Qi Fang hurriedly ran over and shook Song Qingshu: "Quickly wake up, quickly wake up." Unfortunately, the other did not have any reaction. She clenched her teeth and hurriedly put one of his hands on her shoulder, supporting him to the side of the bed.
Fortunately she had learned martial arts and grew up in the mountains, her body was very healthy, so she was able to drag such a tall and sturdy man to the side of the bed.
Her first reaction was to hide Song Qingshu under the bed, but when she reached the side of the bed, she hesitated. Since they even dared to break into her room, they would definitely search everywhere, the bottom of the bed would definitely be searched.
Thinking that Song Qingshu would be discovered by those soldiers, Qi Fang shuddered. Song Qingshu was currently unconscious, if he was discovered, he would definitely not be able to escape. Her kind heart was not willing to see this kind of ending, not to mention that he was her Senior Brother's friend.
On the other hand, she was a married woman, hiding a man in her room in the middle of the night, if this news were to spread, how would she face others?
After the Jingkang rebellion, because a large number of Song Dynasty's imperial women were raped by the Jin, and the Southern Song Dynasty's imperial court was unable to take revenge, gradually, geography became popular, and the issue of women's chastity was regarded as abnormal, teaching women that if they encountered similar situations in the future, they should protect their chastity with death.
In this kind of environment, Qi Fang was clear that with Moqi Xue's personality, she would definitely not allow her family to be humiliated, and Wan Gui … she really did not have any confidence that her husband would be able to protect her.
"I can't let him be discovered!" Qi Fang bit her lip, secretly saying in her heart.
At this critical moment, she couldn't care so much, Qi Fang helped Song Qingshu up and stuffed him onto the bed, pulling a blanket over him, then she also hid under the blanket with a red face.
However, her brows quickly furrowed, because she found that no matter how hard she tried, the blanket was still bulging, it was still a little too obvious. As long as someone looked, they would be able to see that there was an extra person under the blanket.
"What should I do …" Hearing the noise coming from the staircase, Qi Fang's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She knew that she had to make a decision, either she would hand over Song Qingshu, or she had to be absolutely sure, otherwise if Song Qingshu was discovered in her bed, even jumping into the Yellow River, she would not be able to clear her name.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the still steaming bathtub not far away, and she couldn't help but be moved.
"No, no, that is really too absurd." Qi Fang's pretty face was as red as blood, and she shook her head like a rattle drum.
"But he is already unconscious, he won't see anything …" Qi Fang bit her lip, hesitating in her heart.
Her complexion changed, Qi Fang thought: If he was hidden under the blanket, people from the outside would still notice, but if he was hidden in the bathtub, those people wouldn't be able to get close to the bathtub to see …
Not far away, there was a noise, Qi Fang heard that Taohong was negotiating with the soldiers, and she knew that she could no longer hesitate, gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind.
She put Song Qingshu into the bathtub, let him lean against the edge of the wooden tub, his mouth and nose faintly above the water, so that he would not suffocate and drown, and then moved the screen on the corner over.
Looking at the man who was still unconscious in the bathtub, Qi Fang sprinkled the petals on the plate next to her on the water, while showing a hesitant look, faintly sighed, and finally gently untied her belt, letting her clothes slowly slide from her silky smooth skin.
Lightly biting her lip, clutching her chest, Qi Fang also stepped into the bathtub with a red face.
Not long after her body entered the water, the outside door was somewhat rudely pushed open.
"Young Madam, I have told them many times, but they insisted on coming in to search." Taohong also followed in, her tone full of complaints.
"How dare you, do you know who I am!" Qi Fang was also very angry in her heart, if not for them, how could she have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.
"This general greets Madam!" The leader also did not expect the situation in the room to be like this, through the screen, she could faintly see that he seemed to be bathing.
"Since you know who I am, you still dare to barge in?" Feeling nervous, Qi Fang could only pretend to be stern, wanting to drive these people out as soon as possible.
"Reporting to Madam, this time it was the military commander who personally ordered that everyone must be inspected, no exceptions. At the same time, the military commander also consulted the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister also agreed." The general wasn't frightened by her tone. Instead, he quickly scanned the entire room with a sharp gaze as he replied.
Hearing that Moqi Chu had agreed to this matter, Qi Fang could not help but feel suffocated, no longer able to use her status to suppress the other side, and could only say: "This madam is bathing right now, with so many of you barging in, won't it tarnish my clean reputation!"
Qi Fang's face was gloomy, thinking that her husband should also know about this matter, but he actually agreed to let these ruffian soldiers search her room, was he not afraid that his wife would be at a disadvantage?
"Madam, don't worry, there is a screen over there, it will not be a hindrance. We will search the room for a while, and then we will leave." Finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating for his subordinates to enter the room and search.
The group of people entered one after another, each performing their own duties, very proficiently searching the room, not missing a single place that could hide someone.
Through the screen, Qi Fang could faintly see that the soldiers even lifted the quilt on the bed to confirm, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in her heart: Fortunately, I did not hide him on the bed, otherwise, I would not be able to hide him from this situation.
Quietly looking at the handsome face of the man not far away, Qi Fang's heart pounded, and she kept praying: "This is not the time to wake up, please don't wake up …"
Very quickly, the soldiers searched the room, and when they retreated one by one, they shook their heads at the general, indicating that they did not find anything.
The general nodded, and then said to Qi Fang: "Sorry to disturb Madam, this subordinate will take his leave."
Hearing his words, Qi Fang could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The general was walking to the door when suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the screen, asking suspiciously: "Why is Madam taking a bath at the third watch?"
Qi Fang's heart suddenly jumped, and she hurriedly replied: "Something happened just now, so I decided to take a bath at this time."
"What happened?" The general looked inquiringly at Taohong next to him.
Taohong's expression was also a little unnatural, and she roughly explained what had happened just now.
"Oh, a bad guy broke into Madam's room at night?" The general said thoughtfully.
Qi Fang secretly cursed in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would have casually found an excuse just now, so she deliberately pretended to be indifferent: "It's nothing, the bad guy has been caught."
The general asked his subordinates about the relevant situation, and soon someone came up to report. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I just received news that the bad guy is no longer in the prison."
"Is … is that so?" Qi Fang's tone was a little panicked. The general frowned and looked at Taohong, and saw that there was also a trace of unnaturalness on her face, and his heart was immediately filled with suspicion.
