Li Xinyue continued to dodge the guards' sight to find the harvest target while her consciousness entered the space to check.
She thought that the Marquis of Protector's mansion was profound and would have some savings.
Who knew that, except for some fabrics that looked a little gorgeous, there was some food, coarse and fine grain, and half a box of silver ingots?
As for antiques, calligraphy, painting, gold, silver, and jewellery are absent.
The prestigious Marquis of Protector's mansion turned out to be very poor, which shows the integrity of the Qin Family.
However, it was such a loyal family for generations that the monarch feared it, which was simply unreasonable.
That half box of silver, estimated to be only 10,000 taels, although less than imagined, Li Xinyue firmly believed it would be better than nothing on the exile journey.
Li Xinyue thought about it while acting. Wherever she could easily enter, she collected all the items into the space until they were packed. At this point, she reluctantly returned to her yard.
At this time, more than an hour had passed since she went out.
Qiao Yu was still conscientiously guarding outside the door. Li Xinyue jumped directly into the bedroom through the window.
When she heard hurried footsteps outside, she had just changed out of her camouflage clothes.
"What's wrong with the Marquis ?"
Li Xinyue heard Qiao Yu's anxious questioning and hurried out.
I saw Qin Yichen being carried in by two guards on a door plate, walking towards the house.
"Madam, the Marquis is injured. Subordinates will send him back first and immediately invite the imperial physician."
After speaking, the two guards had moved Qin Yichen from the door plate to the bed.
The two guards left, and Qiao Yu walked to Li Xinyue's side with red eyes.
"Young Miss, the Marquis was fine when he left just now. How could he become unconscious so soon?"
Li Xinyue also observed Qin Yichen's situation. She saw him with his eyes closed, seeming to be in a coma.
"You go to the door first to wait. Bring the imperial physician in as soon as he arrives."
Her priority was to distract Qiao Yu and help Qin Yichen check his injuries.
"Yes!" Qiao Yu responded and turned to leave.
Li Xinyue adjusted the two large red candles to the brightest state and placed them on the bedside, ready to check Qin Yichen's condition.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand reached out, Qin Yichen opened his eyes.
"I'm fine."
Hearing his voice, he was energetic and seemed to be unharmed indeed.
"What exactly happened?" Li Xinyue asked.
Qin Yichen hesitated for a moment and shifted his body slightly.
His icy eyes stared tightly at Li Xinyue.
"How did you know I would be in trouble when I entered the palace today?"
On the way back from the palace, Qin Yichen lay on the door plate, wondering how Li Xinyue knew this.
The most significant possibility was that his father-in-law, Li Yuanming, knew about this in advance. Otherwise, he could not explain all this at all.
If this was the case, Li Yuanming was undoubtedly a person on the emperor's side, and Li Xinyue did not rule out the possibility that she was his spy.
With this thought, Qin Yichen's eyes on Li Xinyue were a few minutes deeper.
If it was the young lady of this era, she would probably be scared to cry.
Li Xinyue knew that Qin Yichen suspected her, but she was not nervous.
"I've been having the same dream for several days in a row, dreaming that you would have this disaster. Whether you believe it or not, this is my explanation."
Looking at her clear and bright eyes, Qin Yichen did not believe her words but surprisingly did not continue to interrogate.
Li Xinyue didn't know what he was thinking. She spoke again, "Are you injured? I know some medical skills and can help you take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qin Yichen take out the pad she had given him from behind in front of her.
The pad was damaged in many places, and blood stains could be vaguely visible.
"Did you enter the harem? And got a hundred strokes?"
This was how it was recorded in history. Now Qin Yichen was carried back, and blood was on the pad, indicating that this had all come true.
Qin Yichen shook his head lightly. "I didn't enter the harem. The emperor charged me with disobeying orders and gave me fifty strokes."
After speaking, he looked at the blood-stained pad again and sincerely said, "Thank you for the reminder and pad, which allowed me to escape this catastrophe."
Thinking of this, Qin Yichen was still terrified.
He was led into the palace, and as Li Xinyue reminded him, the emperor called him to meet in the harem.
Recalling Li Xinyue's repeated exhortations before leaving, Qin Yichen refused to enter because men were prohibited in the harem.
Seeing that things did not develop according to his plan, the emperor was furious and charged Qin Yichen with disobeying orders.
Although disobeying orders was a capital crime, the emperor also knew that punishing Qin Yichen like this was unreasonable. Once the truth was revealed, he would lose his position as the country's monarch.
However, he didn't want to let Qin Yichen go just like that. After weighing, he had him beaten 50 strokes.
Not only did Qin Yichen get 50 fewer strokes, but Li Xinyue's pad also protected him, leaving him with only minor external injuries.
However, Qin Yichen deliberately pretended to be unconscious to cover up and was carried back to the Marquis of Protector's mansion.
In Qin Yichen's mind, he felt that Li Xinyue might know some other things.
"Is there anything else happening in your dream?"
Li Xinyue was waiting for Qin Yichen to take the initiative to ask. She solemnly said, "I also dreamed that the Marquis of Protector's mansion was searched and exiled."
"Searched and exiled?" Qin Yichen widened his eyes, obviously a little shocked.
Li Xinyue nodded thoughtfully, "If the time is not wrong, it will be tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, tomorrow morning. After the morning court starts, there will be ministers impeaching and the evidence of your colluding with the enemy and treason that they prepared in advance."
For some reason, Qin Yichen did not doubt Li Xinyue's words too much.
After all, there were often some signs before things happened.
It's just like being inexplicably summoned to the palace tonight and then getting 50 strokes.
And there were other things that Qin Yichen was not wholly unaware of.
At this moment, Qin Yichen had fallen into deep thought.
Whether or not what Li Xinyue said would come true, he felt it necessary to make some preparations in advance.
With this thought, Qin Yichen looked at Li Xinyue.
"Send someone to inform my mother and sisters-in-law now. Just say that I was seriously injured and unconscious when I returned from the imperial palace. They will definitely come back here to see me. I will mention this to them at that time."
For some reason, Qin Yichen strangely believed in this woman he was not very familiar with at this time.
At the same time, he maintained the same attitude towards Li Xinyue, preferring to believe it than not, even if it was a waste of effort, it would be better than being caught off guard when things happened.
