《Princess In Prosperous Age》


 C1 What a Shock

    "My friends, wake up, life is in sports ¡ª"


    "My fellow villagers, the new sun has already risen. Why are you still sleeping in your bed? Sick or dead? Wake up, my friend, and let us greet this beautiful day together! "


    The sun had yet to rise and the chickens had yet to crow when a tender female voice sounded from the streets of the capital.


    Grabbing her homemade megaphone, she stood in her own custom-made cart as she marched in circles around King''s City.


    In her own words, she was doing it in a bed.


    The citizens who were still sleeping were already used to it. They took out two earplugs from beside the pillow and stuffed them into their ears.


    Just as he finished, he heard a shocking song coming from the large stand in the center of the city.


    "The boundless horizon is my love. The green flowers bloom at the foot of the mountain!"


    "I am looking into the distance, above the moon!"


    Ahh, if everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world ¡­


    The townspeople finally couldn''t hold it in anymore, they sat up in bed and began to dress and wash their faces and rinse their mouths.


    Ever since the young ancestor fell into the river and woke up from his coma, there had been no peaceful days in the capital. Everyone had not slept soundly for who knew how many days.


    However, everyone only dared to be angry at the culprit.


    After all, she was the young miss of the Prime Minister''s estate, the cousin granddaughter that the empress dowager doted on the most. There wasn''t a single person in Xuanyuan Kingdom who disrespected her. Wasn''t it just doing whatever the ancestor wanted?


    After breakfast, everyone left the palace with tacit understanding, gathering at the entrance of the palace.


    "Come, come, come. The front row sells melon seeds, peanuts, and small stools. One gold coin for a bunch ¡­"


    The front row peddlers had arrived a long time ago. Each of them was holding onto a handful of peanuts, waiting to see a show.


    As soon as the white carriage stopped in the morning, a woman of about two hundred jin came running over. She was dressed in red, with an emerald green skirt and bright orange outer garment.


    The floor seemed to tremble with every step she took.


    "Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince!" The woman''s clear voice suddenly rang out. She braked and her entire body slid forward due to inertia. It was unknown if it was an illusion or if it was real, but it seemed like there was smoke coming from behind her.


    Behind the young girl were six servants, three men and three women. Each of them was slim and had an extremely good appearance. They raised their heads high and followed their lord like a wisp of smoke. After standing still, their eyes were filled with contempt and disdain for the citizens.


    "Seventh Prince, I missed you so much in one night." The woman''s painted black eyes were like that of a panda''s, two bright red lumps on either side of her face like a monkey''s fart. Her bloody mouth was constantly moving, and no matter how one looked at it, it was extremely horrifying.


    Without a doubt, the young miss of the Prime Minister''s Estate, Qiao Liangjiao, had once again refreshed everyone''s understanding of the ugly woman.


    Ugh ¡­


    She was just a step away from puking under her bewitching attacks.


    The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, and a servant girl in red stood respectfully to the side. Her figure was well-proportioned, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. She slightly bent her body, waiting for the person on the carriage to alight.


    A man alighted from the carriage. He was calm and collected. Although he was dressed in ordinary court clothes, it was still difficult to hide his noble aura. His movements were graceful and indifferent.


    The pair of phoenix eyes slightly lifted upwards. Seeing Qiao Liang Jin, she gave a distant smile, but said nothing, directly walking towards the Imperial Palace.


    This was something that happened every day in the capital. Even though it had been a month, more than half of the people in the kingdom were still here to watch the show.


    It wasn''t just because Qiao Liangjiu made a difference every time, but also because of the Seventh Prince''s clean appearance. He was so beautiful that he was unparalleled in the world.


    That handsome face was even more exquisite and delicate than a woman''s. It was like a work of art from the heavens. Just a slight glance was enough to make all the women in the capital blush.


    That indifferent appearance, that temperament was as clear as ice, and the arrogance emitted from his body seemed to be carved into his bones. That indifferent look that could repel people a thousand miles away, yet it made people unable to shift their eyes away.


    "Oh, oh, he''s so handsome!" Qiao Liangjiao held her chest, looking like she was about to drool. She strode forward like an arrow and opened her short and fat arms as she blocked the way out.


    "What''s the matter, Miss Qiao?" She spoke in a low and calm voice and looked at Qiao Liangjiao without any expression.


    Qiao Liangjiao pointed at her black panda eyes and shyly asked, "Seventh Prince, do you see the smoky makeup I''ve painted for you today?"


    Smoked makeup?


    Everyone looked at Qiao Liang Jin''s eyes.


    After the grandma created the "peach blossom makeup" with peach blossoms all over her face, the "hangover makeup" with her hair in a mess and the "innocent dog makeup" with the entire pug on her face, she successfully created the new makeup that everyone could talk about after lunch.


    Seeing that she didn''t say anything, Qiao Liangjiao''s blinking became even more intense.

 C2 Forcing the Folk Man

    With a simple wave of her hand, the red-clothed maid came over respectfully.


    He pointed at Qiao Liangge and said, "Hongliang, Miss Qiao has an eyesight problem. She is to be escorted back to the residence and is to be accompanied by Teacher Su to treat Miss Qiao."


    Finished speaking, she turned her body slightly and walked past Qiao Liangjiao.


    "Hey, Seventh Prince, don''t go away yet. There''s nothing wrong with my eyes, and I haven''t slept for the whole night. I wrote a few poems for you, you can listen to them."


    As she spoke, her black hands grabbed onto Su Qing''s sleeves and waved towards the servant: "Read it!"


    She lightly waved her sleeve and silently pulled it back from Qiao Liangjiao''s grasp.


    The maidservant dressed in pink took large strides forward, opened the large cloth in her hand and loudly read out:


    "The seventh prince is the sky, the seventh prince is the earth, and the seventh prince is the radish and vegetables." Small cool is a flower, small cool is a treasure, small cool is that day fairy. "Ah ¡ª the flower and the radish with the fairy, a natural pair!"


    Just as she finished speaking, the purple-clothed servant girl stood beside the pink-clothed lady with big strides and also held up the cloth in her hand. She recited: "You are the number one marshal in the world, I am the prettiest in the world, you and I love each other and have a fat child to kiss!"


    With that, a blue-clothed maid came over, "Seventh Prince, Qiao Liangjiao, together, it feels great. It''s so good that it pisses off those old antiques, hmph!"


    She cleared her throat. "¡­"


    The words on the big white cloth that he pulled out from who knows where were crooked and were indeed appropriate.


    ¡ª It was a new height.


    "There''s nothing else." Qiao Liang Jin looked at Qing Shui as if she was waiting for a compliment.


    "Miss Qiao is truly intelligent, but she is actually a good poem. It''s just that this one has an engagement. I''m afraid she isn''t a good person to Miss Qiao." He spoke as if it was the right thing to do. There was no expression on his face, but it was hard to conceal the disgust in his eyes.


    "What''s there to be afraid of? Tell me, which family''s girl is she from? I will beat her to death with two hammers."


    She cleared her throat. "¡­"


    As she spoke, Qiao Liangjiao''s small arms were like two wind wheels as they rotated back and forth.


    "Even so, may I ask if Miss Qiao is sincere to me?" Those eyes that flickered between bright and dim seemed to be thinking of something.


    "Of course. If you don''t believe me, I''ll strip off my clothes and you can look at it close to my chest!"


    "If Miss Qiao is able to memorize four books and five scriptures within three days, the Seventh Prince''s Mansion will personally come to propose marriage."


    Qiao Liangjiao waved her hand when she heard this and said, "Hai, it''s a little something. I can recite it now. Four books five scriptures, four books five scriptures, four books five scriptures. I recited it three times."


    The surrounding crowd: "..."


    He cleared his face without any expression and looked the same as before, indifferent and elegant. However, his eyes revealed an unconcealable look of disgust, "Hong Liang, send the Four Books and Five Classics to Qiao Xiang Palace."


    He then walked past Qiao Liangjiao and headed straight into the Imperial Palace.


    Everyone knew that His Majesty was on good terms with Seventh Marquis and had allowed him to drive into the palace. However, Seventh Prince said that things had gone awry, so no matter what, he was unwilling to do so.


    It just happened to create an opportunity for this silly girl, Qiao Liangjiao, to come and cause trouble every morning.


    "Seventh Prince, you still haven''t told me which family''s girl it is, I''ll go and pick her teeth!" Qiao Liang Jin didn''t give chase. She stood on the ground with her hands on the waist of the bucket and yelled at the clean back.


    Seeing the back of the figure gradually disappearing, the man pursed his lips and said, "Little bitch!" He rolled his eyes at Hong Liang.


    Hong Liang was confused. He did not know why he was suddenly scolded.


    Without clearing up the place, Qiao Liangjiao was not discouraged as she led her troops and chariots towards the most popular teahouse in the Royal City. Her steps were so heavy that each step she took could shake the entire city.


    Just as they arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, they excitedly stopped a young master who was about to enter. Their small eyes roamed around him as they laughed vulgarly: "Little brother, are we going to play together?"


    The young master felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck as soon as Qiao Liangjin finished speaking. His vision went dark, and he fainted on the street.


    The blue clothed girl quickly carried him on her shoulder and followed behind Qiao Liangjiao to continue the "hunt".


    Snatching men!


    Could this be tolerated?


    In a male-dominated society, how could they allow a girl to rob a young man from a good family!


    Of course ¡­ He could endure it.


    Everyone could still remember that the "martial arts expert" who cried out for injustice was beaten into a bear by this chubby little girl. Not only was his face red and swollen, he was also forced to sit on this ancestor''s back.


    That small waist of his was crippled on the spot.


    Cruelty!


    Terrifying!


    After calculating the time, Qiao Liangjiao sat in her "chariot" and called eight laborers to pull her back to the Prime Minister''s Estate.


    The laborers who were usually able to move bricks and resist mud were all stumped by the people on the carriage. Every step they took was extremely difficult, but the main problem was that this was a bit too heavy!


    However, Qiao Liangjiao was completely oblivious to it. She was holding the osmanthus cake she bought at the south side of the city, humming a little song and singing along with the servants beside her.


    "Let''s swing the oars and push the waves away..."


    Looking around the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty ¡­


    No! Looking at the entire four continents, among the five nations, who could understand Qiao Liangjiao''s song?

 C3 Love Pet Jade Fox

    They sang all sorts of nonsense and left in a weird tone.


    It wasn''t easy for them to get to the Residence of Qiao. Qiao Liangjiao dug around for a while before finally pulling out a silver ingot and tossing it into the hands of the laborer. She raised her little eyebrows and said: "It smells like this young miss, don''t hold it for too long."


    Then he proudly looked up at the sky. "Ha!" Ha! "Ha!" With three loud laughs, he swaggered into the gates of the Residence of Qiao.


    "Miss ¡­" The blue-clothed woman pointed at the white-clothed handsome man on her shoulder.


    The brows of the two caterpillar like people raised up, pointing to the servant Ah Kuan standing behind them, "He stripped naked and threw him into the small forest."


    "Do you also want to strip him?" Ah Kuan took the man from Ruo Lan.


    "Naturally."


    "You want to take off your underwear?"


    "Grab!" It would be best to tear it to shreds and let everyone on the streets know what this old lady has done to him! "


    "Yes."


    From afar, they could see Hong Liang waiting in the main hall with the Four Books and Five Classics as well as Doctor Su. Qiao Liang rolled his eyes and ordered the pink-clothed woman, "Go and send Hong Liang away. Tell that Bai Qing doctor to wait in my bedroom."


    "Yes, Miss."


    He then walked towards the main hall with an imposing manner, as if his nose was facing the sky. In order to keep up with the Young Miss''s pace, he took very heavy steps with each step.


    "..."


    The sun was high in the sky. It was noon.


    Joy Prefecture, Blossom Heart Pavilion.


    A year old mama hurriedly lifted a cage covered in black cloth. Before she even entered, she was stopped by a woman in purple. Her longsword was placed in front of Lin mama''s chest. Her voice was cold. "What business does Lin mama have?"


    "Lady Ziyan, look at what this is ¡­" As Lin mama spoke, she pulled open a corner of the cage. The little white thing inside quickly hid to the other side, cowering.


    The girl called Zi Yan''s eyes turned cold, and with her guarded appearance, she asked, "How is it in your hands?"


    "Today, when Eldest Young Master went out to hunt, he was holding this little fellow and said that he wanted to make a fresh taste to please the Young Miss. This old servant saw that it was somewhat similar to the one beside Miss, so I asked for it. "


    "There are indeed seventy percent similarities, but ¡­"


    It was just that the one in the cage was a little too timid. Its tiny body trembled in the cage and it whimpered softly. No matter how you looked at it, it didn''t look like the one who tore the roof.


    "Yes or no, show it to the young lady." As Lin mama spoke, she returned the curtain to its place, her face full of a coquettish smile.


    Zi Yan opened the door. With a calm look in her eyes, she said, "Go in. The young miss is not in a good mood. Mo Chong bumped into the young miss."


    "Thank you for the reminder, Miss." Lin mama had a face full of smiles as she dragged the cage into the inner room.


    Behind the thin curtain, on the bed, the woman was half reclining. Although her figure couldn''t be considered slim, it was still somewhat graceful.


    Her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. Everything around her quieted down under her powerful aura, and even Lin mama''s voice unconsciously grew softer.


    "Miss." Lin mama bowed respectfully.


    "Lin mama." He lazily sat up and moved the black hair in front of his ears with his slender fingers. There were tears at the corner of his eyes, making him look indescribably charming. Following his gaze, he asked, "What is it?"


    "What do you think this is?" As Lin mama spoke, she lifted the black cloth from the cage.


    Light suddenly entered the cage, and the little thing inside did not react for a moment. Its body constantly trembled, and it let out warning sounds in a low voice.


    The woman''s eyes froze for a moment before she elegantly stood up from the bed and took over the cage in Lin mama''s hands. Her white fingers lightly tapped the center of the little fox''s forehead, and a golden light flashed there.


    It wasn''t just Lin mama who was witnessing this scene for the first time. Even the snow-white little fox had a stupefied expression as he looked at the woman in front of him.


    Just now, its forehead was glowing?!


    However, just as the golden light disappeared, the little fox''s body suddenly changed, its four claws transforming into four or four limbs. Other than the fluffy ears and small tail, its entire body was now that of a four or five-year-old child.


    Because the cage was too small, its body was curled up, and the white and tender skin that was like a lotus root was already marked by the cage.


    Although she knew that the young lady had a little fox that could turn into a human, this was the first time she saw the little fox transform in person. Lin mama resisted her shock and respectfully withdrew, hurrying to the kitchen to prepare some chicken porridge for the little thing.


    "Where did you run off to?" The woman''s voice was clear and melodious. In this scorching summer day, her voice was indescribably cool and soothing.


    The little fellow in the cage opened its mouth slightly, but it still could not hide the surprise in its heart. However, it did not say anything.


    Seeing this, the woman coldly snorted and casually threw the cage onto the ground. She didn''t care about the little thing inside the cage rolling around a few times. She returned to the desk, picked up a book of poems and started to read.


    Her posture was graceful, and even the delicate flowers beside her had lost their color.


    Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Royal City''s number one hooligan, the direct descendant of Hua Chi, would have such a drastic change in her figure in just half a month?


    And he was so relaxed and carefree, elegantly?

 C4 Qi Qi Qi

    The little fox was curled up inside the cage. Its posture was extremely uncomfortable, but it could endure it.


    One man and one fox, they were both wasting time like this. No one wanted to be the first to speak, and no one was willing to admit defeat.


    It wasn''t until the evening when Senior Servant Lin placed all the dishes onto the table that the little guy''s stomach began to growl in disappointment. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and protested in a low voice, "Chirp, chirp ¡­"


    "Chirp chirp?" Qiao Liangjiao''s brows slightly raised. Her gaze fell upon the cage that had left a red mark on her body, but she wasn''t soft-hearted in the slightest. "Since you''ve taken on a human form, speak human words!"


    A hint of surprise flashed through the little thing''s eyes. It opened its mouth in disbelief and said tentatively, "Put ¡­ "Let me out ¡­"


    Qiao Lianying slightly raised her hand and Ran Lan quickly walked to the side of the cage to carry the little fellow out. She caressed the red mark on her body with a pained heart as she scolded, "Who asked you to run around and make the little miss unhappy. Next time, it won''t be as simple as starving!"


    Ruo Lan''s hand hadn''t even touched her delicate little body when she saw the little thing run away quickly. It hid behind the curtain, exposing only its small head. "I ¡­ I want to put on clothes ¡­"


    "Nope." Qiao Liangjiao pulled open the curtain and held the little thing''s arm for him to sit at the table. Seeing that he still wanted to protest, she coldly glared at him: "I''ll give you clothes to tear?"


    Rip?


    The little girl stared blankly for a moment, then wrapped herself in the tablecloth.


    Even if he was young, it would not be proper for a man and a woman to live in the same room together without clothes, right?


    "Wear my clothes!" Another protest.


    Qiao Liangjiao calmly looked at him. He didn''t know why, but he felt goosebumps in his heart. However, he still didn''t give up and said, "I, I want to wear ¡­" "Get dressed ¡­"


    Before he could even react, Qiao Liangjiao''s hand slapped his white butt.


    "Eat obediently!"


    "Howl ¡­"


    The little girl pursed her lips. She wanted to cry, but she held back in time. She continued to wrap her body in the tablecloth, revealing only her tender white arm. She picked up the spoon and scooped the porridge into her mouth.


    No matter how I look at it, it makes my heart ache.


    "Young, young miss ¡­" Pai Di could not bear to see him like this.


    "You should be punished if you did something wrong. By running around like this, it almost became a dish for the young master. It''s so dangerous, little miss is doing it for its own good." Ruo Lan interjected with a look of satisfaction on her face. She couldn''t help but feel sorry for this little rascal.


    "Eat the food!" Qiao Liangjiao threw a chopstick of vegetables into his small bowl in a bad mood.


    His black eyes angrily glared at Qiao Liangjiao''s face. In the end, he weakened himself and put the vegetable deer into his mouth. He didn''t chew and swallowed it. That small expression of his made it seem like he was forcing it to consume poison.


    "I... "I want to eat meat ¡­" The little fellow eagerly looked at the untouched piece of meat on the table and swallowed its saliva.


    "Do you really want to eat it?"


    "Yes, yes." The little head nodded like a chick pecking rice.


    "Then tell me, where did you go today?"


    "¡­"


    The most terrifying memory in life!


    It was as if he could still feel the sensation of being struck by lightning.


    The little guy shivered, his face full of fear.


    Seeing him like this, Qiao Liangjiao couldn''t bear to make things difficult for him anymore. She picked up two pieces of meat and put them into his bowl.


    The way she ate was elegant and unhurried, neither too fast nor too slow. Her slender fingers gripped onto the chopsticks, creating an indescribably beautiful scene.


    But she ate very little.


    The little fox was puzzled and could not help but ask, "Why do you eat so little?"


    "Nonsense, lose weight!" Qiao Liangjiao smacked him on the forehead with her chestnut.


    This woman!


    This woman actually hit him again!


    "I... I am a monster? " The little fox looked at its body and asked while wagging its big white tail.


    "Didn''t you always claim to be a Celestial Fox?" Qiao Liangjiao had long since gotten used to it.


    In order to escape, this little thing pretended to lose its memory every three days, with a pitiful "I don''t know you, let me go" look.


    His acting skills were superb.


    The little thing looked as if it had been struck by lightning. Its face was full of surprise. It pulled its fluffy tail, but no one knew what it was thinking.


    "Where''s the eldest young master?" Qiao Liangjiao asked after she finished eating and put down her chopsticks.


    "Eldest Young Master went out after dinner ¡­" Pai Di said hesitantly.


    Get out...


    His long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and his face was filled with displeasure.


    "Miss, this is the Four Books and Five Classics that Miss Hong Liang brought. It has always been placed in the main hall. The old lady lost her temper and asked this servant to bring it back for you."


    Purple Smoke, who had just entered the room, first bowed respectfully, then took out a book.


    She didn''t even raise her pretty eyes as she said, "Throw it away."


    "Throw it away?" The little fox at the dining table was unwilling. "This is a book given to you by the Seventh Prince. Didn''t he want you to memorize it within three days?"


    "When have I ever heard of such an old feudal system?" Her beautiful eyes slightly lifted as she picked up a handkerchief to wipe the little fellow''s mouth. Then, she took him down and placed him on the ground.


    The little fox quickly pulled down a piece of cloth to cover his body and protested in dissatisfaction, "Why is he Old Feng, don''t you like him?"

 C5 Thunder Rolling

    "I like him?" Qiao Lianjiao''s eyes were filled with disdain, "Why should I like him? Was it because of the good leather bag he was wearing, or was it because of the Emperor''s favor? He was just a useless trash who did not study at all. He relied on his face and his elder brother''s love to get along with him. I''m not even fit to wash your diapers, so why should I like it? "


    "You!" The little fox was stifled. It said angrily, "How do you know he doesn''t know anything?"


    "How do you know he''s not trash?" Was he here to kill the enemy for Xuan Yuan or to plead for the common people? There are quite a few wars going on because of that face of his. The people have all been burned to ashes and the lives of the people have all been tormented. Is this what he did? " Qiao Linjian Jin was more patient than ever. She held the little guy in her arms and held the tender cheeks.


    "He ¡­ "He ¡­" The little fox''s words were blocked, but he couldn''t come up with a reason to retort. He could only angrily sulk in Qiao LiangJin''s arms.


    Pinching his face, he turned his head but was unable to make up his mind.


    Scratching his head, he knocked her hand away.


    Hey?


    Qiao Liangjiao turned her angry face to the right and asked, "What, you like him?"


    "Of course, Seventh Prince is like a jade tree in the wind. Who doesn''t love him?"


    As the little guy spoke, he used his eyes to ask the three maidservants who were standing. Unexpectedly, all of their gazes were filled with disdain and were exactly the same as Qiao Liangjin''s.


    "If you like it, I''ll capture him tomorrow night and give him to you for you to play with."


    "Play?!"


    "Don''t be so excited, that''s a matter for tomorrow night. Now go to sleep."


    "I''m not interested ¡­"


    Before he even finished speaking, Qiao Liangjiao extended a finger and tapped his forehead. That small body turned into a fox again and cried out unhappily. However, no matter how much she struggled, she could only make chirping sounds.


    After struggling for a while, seeing that there was no effect, the little thing calmed down. Its shiny black eyes seemed to be thinking about something.


    When Qiao Liangge wanted to touch it, he angrily turned around and only left Qiao Liangjie with a soft, white, fluffy butt.


    "Puff ¡­" Qiao Liang Jin couldn''t help but laugh.


    It seemed like this little thing had really fallen for the Seventh Marquis. How about ¡­ Action tonight.


    Dai Di put the little fox in a cage and began to do yoga with Purple Smoke, Dai Di and Rolan.


    The little fox, who was lying on the bed, had his eyes pop out. How could these three women do such a shocking thing?


    The legs were so far apart!


    You''re still sticking out your chest?!


    Twisting his waist?!


    And with a butt sticking out!


    "Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"


    "Miss, does Yu Sheng want to join us as well?" Rulan, who was on the verge of collapsing, asked.


    Qiao Liangge stood up and hit the little fox on the head with her chestnut, "Sleep!"


    Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp! "


    "Chirp your grandpa''s legs!" "Sleep!"


    "¡­"


    Stupid woman!


    Even if he lost weight, and his face caught everyone''s attention, he would still be a ferocious woman!


    It was night. The moon hung high in the sky, and everything was quiet and serene.


    "Miss, when do we move?" she asked weakly.


    "In five minutes." Qiao Liang and Jin were sitting on the treetops outside the back courtyard of Prince Qi''s mansion, quietly watching the patrolling soldiers inside.


    "Oh." Dai Di nodded.


    Roulan, who was hanging on a tree, asked, "Miss, how long is five minutes?"


    Her hands were on the verge of collapsing ¡­


    A quarter-hour means fifteen minutes. Two hours means a hundred and twenty minutes. One hour means an hour. Qiao Liangjiao''s gaze still didn''t leave the guard. About ten minutes later, there would be a patrol of soldiers.


    So many times, this Seventh Marquis was really afraid of death.


    "Oh." Roran nodded.


    Zi Yan, who was standing next to Qiao Liangjiao, asked, "Miss, why do you have to call people ''time'' like that?"


    "In this way, when we take action in the future, no one will be able to understand what we are saying." Qiao Linjian sat upright, cracking her fingers, preparing to make a move.


    "Oh." Zi Yan nodded.


    "Move!"


    With the order given, Zi Yan quickly jumped down and nimbly landed on the wall. She quickly checked it and nodded.


    If Lan Lan''s hands were already sore from hanging, then she would have been waiting for the little miss to say that. Her hands loosened and the tree branches under her feet fell along with the purple smoke.


    Qiao Liang Jin followed closely behind, while Dai Di remained on the tree to keep watch. Her hands tightly gripped the Miss''s invented whistle.


    Unexpectedly, just as he landed, he heard a scream from the center of the courtyard!


    "Oh no, the prince is gone!"


    Qiao Liangjiao''s brows creased. She immediately moved closer to the courtyard and listened attentively.


    "What''s going on?" an elderly Mammy asked.


    "Don''t know ¡­" This servant also doesn''t know, it''s just that the prince has always said that clothes don''t fit and are uncomfortable, so the servant sent someone to fetch the clothes. Who knew that with a flash, the prince would disappear without a trace! "


    "He disappeared in a flash?"


    "Yes, this servant only saw a white shadow flash in front of this servant''s eyes. In just a moment, there was no trace of the prince in the room."


    That old wet nurse muttered to herself for a moment. "Seal off the entire palace and prevent anyone from entering or leaving!"


    "Hiss ¡ª"


    The Yellow Calendar said that it wasn''t appropriate to kidnap men today?


    Qiao Liangge''s eyes turned cold. From the looks of it, the maid didn''t seem to be speaking.


    All of a sudden, all the soldiers moved out with lanterns held high. The entire Seventh Prince''s Mansion was brightly lit.

 C6 Uninvited Guest

    "Retreat!" Qiao Liangjiao waved her hand, and the three of them quickly withdrew, leaving the courtyard before the soldiers arrived.


    Fortunately, he promised the little guy tomorrow night. Otherwise, the little guy wouldn''t know how to cry.


    Qiao Liangjiao was confident that no one would be able to recognize her. However, the three people following behind her in the Imperial City had outstanding appearances, and their rate of appearance was high, making it difficult for people to not recognize them.


    As a result, a few people caressed the light muslin, passing by on the small path while keeping a low profile.


    The youth in white, who had just come out of the teahouse, looked at the group of people as they walked over. The woman in the lead ¡­ Seems somewhat familiar?


    He knocked his head, but couldn''t think of anything. He only felt that the woman''s delicate fragrance when she passed by was exceptionally familiar. It was ¡­ "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu ¡­ Where have I seen it?


    "Xiao Rong, what are you looking at?" The man in black patted his shoulder.


    Xiao Rong smiled faintly. His facial features were picturesque, and he gave off an indescribably refined air. "It''s nothing."


    Just as Qiao Liangjiao returned to her own pavilion, she opened her mouth and didn''t close it.


    The one rolling around in her bedroom, wasn''t it the Seventh Prince who had just disappeared?


    "You''re back!" The man on the ground coughed and stood up. He ran over and hugged her arm. With an indescribable intimacy, he said, "I''ve missed you."


    Qiao Liangjiao: "¡­"


    Did he take any medicine?


    Pai Di, who had followed in, was also stunned. The proud and aloof Seventh Prince was actually following his young mistress ¡­ Acting like a spoiled child?


    Terrifying!


    "What''s wrong with you? Aren''t you happy to see them? " She was holding Qiao Liangjiao''s little finger as she shook it. Suddenly, she said, "I woke up from my sleep and realized that I''ve grown taller. Look, I''m so much taller than you!"


    "¡­"


    Qiao Liangjiao quickly calmed down. She pulled away from his hands and said with an indescribable tone, "I''m afraid Seventh Prince has recognized the wrong person."


    "How is this possible!" The magnetic voice rose in disbelief, steam quickly filling her pretty eyes. It seemed like she was about to cry.


    Heavens...


    Qiao Liangjiao held her forehead and could only first comfort her: "Don''t cry! Seventh Prince, I was wrong. "


    Unexpectedly, after hearing what was said, she became even more unhappy. With a sniff of her nose, two streams of tears flowed down her face. "Who is the Seventh Prince?" Is he cuter than me? "


    "¡­"


    Is this guy retarded?


    The one with the intermittent seizure?


    The corner of Qiao Liangjiao''s mouth twitched. Seeing that he was about to pounce on her again, she immediately retreated a few steps and looked at this lunatic with caution.


    There were two rows of tears on her beautiful face. She was frowning and the corners of her lips were bent downwards, causing people''s hearts to ache.


    He was currently holding his hands with a look of wanting to hug someone.


    Seeing that Qiao Liangjiao was unmoved, she sat on the ground with a lost expression, pulling at her clothes as she cried, "You really don''t love me, don''t love me ¡­"


    Please, brother, when did I ever love you?


    Qiao Liangge signaled with her eyes towards the purple smoke and walked behind Su Chen. Seeing that he was caught off guard, she used her hand to smash the back of his neck, causing his body to fall heavily onto the ground. She then said without the least bit of mercy, "Tie him up."


    "Yes." Zi Yan and Orchid Sky quickly tied him up, and there was even a piece of rag stuffed into his mouth.


    "Miss, what should we do? Send it back to the Seventh Marquis Mansion? " Matte''s heart softened a little. She looked at the tears that were still hanging on her face and could not bear to see them.


    "Of course we have to send them back."


    Qiao Liangjiao looked at her clothes that had been completely torn apart, revealing a large portion of snow-white skin. It was really seductive.


    A plan flashed through his mind as he smiled and said, "But, there''s no need to rush right now. Just drag them and throw them into the woodshed."


    "Yes, miss."


    The little fox that Lin mama had brought back just happened to see this scene. Its eyes widened as it stared at the body that had been cleared away.


    Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp! "


    "Good boy, Yusheng." Qiao Liangjiao poked its face through the cage and said, "I can''t let you ravage him today."


    Chirp chirp!


    "Are you asking me why? Because today''s Old Feng Jian seems to be a bit off, as if he''s not in his right mind. I was afraid that he would hurt you, so when he recovers, I''ll be here to play with you, okay? "


    The little fox was about to pass out in a breath and was in a hurry to explain. However, its mouth could only let out a "chirp" sound as it anxiously and helplessly circled around the cage, looking at Zi Yan''s rough and clean body.


    Such a loud noise, just how much effort was needed!


    Would a fox vomit blood?


    If he could, he really wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    The next morning.


    The sky had yet to brighten when he saw the beautiful figure wrapped in the "battle uniform" with the help of Ran Ran. Her slightly graceful figure immediately became three to five times fatter as she sat in front of the dressing table and began to put on makeup.


    Ruo Lan held the cosmetic powder in her hand and watched as the young lady covered her face with all these colorful things. She asked in dissatisfaction, "Miss, why must we do this?"


    I really want to show those vulgar commoners the beauty of my lady, and see if they still dare to thumbs up behind my back!

 C7 The Plot Swerves

    Qiao Liangge''s small face was painted a pale white, her mouth was painted a dark green, her eyelids were red, green, and blue. Under her eyelids, there was a huge pair of lower eyelashes.


    Ruo Lan pouted and shook her head.


    This appearance, not to say that he looked like a blackbone chicken, but more like a ghost that came to take his life.


    The little fox in the cage had a pair of big, black eyes. It looked at Qiao Liangjiao in confusion.


    Then, Qiao Liangjiao turned to the little fox and asked, "Yuesheng, is master doing well today?"


    The snow-white fox slightly tilted its head. It didn''t shake its head or nod its head, but there were two parts of it that were proud and aloof.


    "Still angry at me for not letting you take it out and play with it?" That white and agile finger reached into the cage, but before it could touch the little fox''s small mouth, it was caught, and it fiercely bit into it.


    Qiao Liangjiao wasn''t angry and should''ve fed the little guy some blood a long time ago. It was just that this little thing always felt sorry for her and refused to take it.


    Now, it saved her the effort of coaxing him.


    An Ruo waited for the little guy to let go of her lips before looking at her finger and said, "I didn''t eat much."


    Just as he was about to open up his mouth and force his way in, he saw Zi Yan knock on the door, dragging in all sorts of tied up items.


    "Miss." Zi Yan bowed.


    "Yes." Qiao Liangjiao put the little thing back into the cage.


    However, the little guy had gotten his temper out of nowhere and struggled with all his might, trying to jump onto Qing Shui''s body.


    Even though she was still unconscious, her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she covered her slightly pale face. Even though her breathing was shallow, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.


    "Ruo Lan." Qiao Liangjiao grabbed the little fox''s neck and pointed at the cage.


    Ruo Lan quickly picked up the cage, put the little fox inside, locked it up, and brought it to the next room.


    Chirp chirp!


    No matter how one listened to it, it was heartbreaking.


    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Qiao Liangjiao pinched her clear chin and looked up and down.


    The little fox she was raising couldn''t be a crook, right?


    Furthermore ¡­


    Do you really like to clear out this kind of monster that looks like a demon?


    She slowly opened her eyes from the force of her strength. When she saw that ghost like face, she was stunned for a few seconds, as if she was frightened. Then, she immediately became so excited that she wanted to pounce at him.


    The gag in his mouth had already been removed, and there was no longer any obstruction in his mouth. The moment he opened his mouth, he said, "We must hug, Master."


    "Hiss ¡ª"


    This fellow was quite sick!


    No wonder she had always been proud and aloof, never allowed strangers to enter, never liked women ¡­


    So it was because of this hidden disease.


    However, this was also good, as it allowed her to act out today''s scene a little better.


    "Alright, rub your head." Qiao Linjian was patient. She spoke in a usually coaxing tone as her slender fingers gently caressed her ink-like thick black hair.


    The man under her narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, occasionally rubbing his hand against hers.


    "I like it, I like it." He cleared his throat.


    After the routine of "calling for a bed", Qiao Liangjiao sent someone to sell peanut, melon seeds, and small stools. She glanced at the city gates indifferently, then walked with the group of people to a nearby inn.


    It was only when all the ministers had gathered at the entrance of the palace, waiting to open the door and enter the morning assembly, that they took slow steps and dragged their untidy clothes along with them.


    "Hey, look, that isn''t Big Lady Qiao ¡­" "Cough cough, Miss Qiao?" The sharp-eyed people started to shout from afar.


    Soon after, a group of people ran over and surrounded the man and woman. When they clearly saw the man''s appearance, their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.


    "Seven seven seven seven seven ¡­ Seventh Prince? "


    "Heavens, is it really the Seventh Prince? Even he couldn''t escape ¡­"


    "Oh, my heart, Seventh Prince was unexpectedly taken care of by this female hooligan ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjiao had long since gotten used to the term ''female hooligan'', and was even a little proud of it.


    With a proud smile, he caressed her clean face and asked, "Do you love me?"


    "Love you, love you!" He cleared his head like a pug and rubbed Qiao Liangjiao''s arm, waiting for her to praise him.


    "Good girl, I love you too." Qiao Liangjiao scratched her clean nose.


    This scene!


    This plot!


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They recalled the attitude they had towards Qiao Liangjiao yesterday morning, it was just like watching a thriller.


    "This Qiao Liangjiao must have poisoned the Seventh Prince, right?"


    "Poison? "I don''t think so. I heard there''s a Gu in the East Country that will ¡­"


    "Really?"


    "Terrifying, truly too frightening ¡­"


    As they discussed, one of the men had already grabbed a handful of mud paste from the ground and placed it on his face. Zhou Zheng''s face, which could be considered as his own, instantly turned pitch black.


    He was afraid that this number one female hoodlum in the capital would target him and attack him!


    The maid who had been sent to inform the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion had already returned. Behind her was a large group of people. It seemed that more than half of the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion had already dispatched their men.


    Qiao Liangjiao opened her big mouth that had been painted black, smiling as she hugged her waist that had been cleaned up and turned around.


    Hong Liang, who was in the lead, had a look of shock on his face. Even the old wet nurse behind him found it hard to conceal the surprise on her face.

 C8 Three Senses Destroyed

    Seeing that the two of them were getting closer, Hong Liang and the old mama both bowed respectfully. "Your Highness."


    Then he calmly thanked Qiao Liangjin: "Thank you, Miss Qiao."


    "What are you thanking me for? We love each other. We are willing to help each other. Fire and dry wood crackled together. There is nothing to thank you for." As he finished speaking, he blinked his three-colored eye shadow and directed the electricity to clear the area.


    Su Qing also looked back at her with a smile. Her pair of cold eyes were filled with deep emotion as she stared at Qiao Liangjiao as if she was the only person in the world.


    Qiao Liangjiao''s heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes. She sighed in her heart that this man was indeed a monster. If he looked good, it would be convenient to tease her.


    Hong Liang took out his cape and helped clear up the exposed spring light from his torn clothes. He frowned and took out two pieces of wood shavings from his hair, then looked at them thoughtfully.


    Qiao Liangjiao hurriedly grabbed it and chuckled, "The firewood is on fire ¡­"


    "Your Highness, follow me back to change my clothes. It''s almost time for the morning assembly." The mama walked over slowly. Her tone was respectful, but it was an indescribable sense of majesty.


    She grasped Qiao Liangjin''s arm, "I''ll go wherever Jin''er goes. Where Jin''er is, that''s my home."


    The old wet nurse frowned in displeasure as she sized up Su Qing''s body. The expression in her eyes became even deeper.


    She looked at the crowd that was getting louder and louder as they discussed. She immediately changed the topic. "I wonder if Miss Qiao has any intention of taking a seat at the Seventh Prince''s Mansion?"


    Old fox!


    Qiao Liangjiao''s gaze towards the old wet nurse couldn''t help but take on a deeper meaning. She knew that the most important thing was not to clear up this strange scene, but to end this farce as soon as possible.


    Otherwise, if everyone talked for too long, the matter would become big.


    Since Qing Qing didn''t want to part with Qiao Liangjiao, then turn to Qiao Liangjiao.


    He was really a smart person.


    Her jet-black mouth lifted upwards as a strange smile appeared on her face. With her strange makeup and pale complexion, it made people''s heart turn cold. She chuckled and said, "Of course I''m going."


    Her favorite thing was to exchange blows with smart people.


    Hong Liang looked at the Qing Wang Manor''s carriage with a troubled expression, then looked at Qiao LiangJin''s stout and fat body, and stroked the horse''s leg in heartache.


    The horse seemed to come to life as it whined.


    "Please." The old nanny was well-mannered and bowed.


    "Tch, that carriage of yours is too shabby, I don''t think it''s worth it!" Qiao Liangjiao snorted disdainfully.


    He then beckoned to the people behind him, "Small ones, get on the chariot!"


    "Yes!" "Miss!" This voice was filled with vigor and vigor.


    Then everyone got on the square, the self-made chariot used for the parade.


    Ah Kuan and Ah Bai who got on the car were dumbfounded. If everyone got on the car, who would pull the car?


    "Young, young miss ¡­" Ah Kuan pulled on Qiao Liang''s Hibiscus Rainbow sleeve.


    "You, you, and you!" Qiao Liangjiao pointed at the group of people from the Seventh Prince''s Mansion and arrogantly said, "Come from the side of that broken car and pull my chariot over!"


    "Hiss ¡ª"


    The surrounding crowd sucked in a breath of cold air as their gazes landed on Su Ming.


    It was known that this carriage was one of the items that would make anyone most proud of cleaning it up.


    It was given to him by the late emperor, priceless!


    Not to mention the fact that the body of the Ten Thousand Year Freezing Pine was cold, cool and comfortable in the summer, not to mention the treasures from the Northern Kingdom that were embedded in the bottom of the car, it would automatically warm up the entire body of the car, even from two meters away ¡­


    Just taking out a gem from the roof of the carriage was enough to completely blow up Qiao Liang Jin''s so-called war chariot.


    But the entire female hooligan''s story was revealed twice in a row!


    With his clear personality, he probably wouldn''t be able to tolerate it.


    However, the person watching the show didn''t seem to be displeased at all after watching Su Chen''s exquisite face for a while.


    His beautiful eyes seemed to be drunk from alcohol. He looked at Qiao Liangjiao''s little face with infatuation and adoration, occasionally helping her to tuck her hair behind her ears.


    F * ck, who would believe that he wasn''t infected by the Gu!?


    Qiao Liangjiao was extremely resistant to the ''clean up'' touch, but in order to make this scene more interesting, she had enough patience. With a "Ba Ji" sound, she drew a black and purple kiss on his face.


    Ye Zichen cleared his disbelieving face and opened his mouth in shock.


    He then sat on the tank and began rolling back and forth, yelling, "Touch! Touch! Touch! Touch!"


    "¡­"


    "Huh?" Everyone booed.


    This guy...


    Are you all right?


    The corner of Qiao Lianjiao''s mouth twitched. Seeing that Hong Liang was also surprised, she felt a little guilty.


    Was it not a hidden disease?


    Qiao Liangjin caught the surprise that flashed across the old wet nurse''s eyes. She immediately distanced herself from Sang Qing. Thinking about her usual performance at home, she guessed that this thing must have been possessed by some monster.


    It wouldn''t hurt, right?


    "Feel it, feel it!" He cleared his messy clothes, revealing his white and tender belly, and put Qiao Liangjiao''s hand on it.


    The latter''s hands trembled heavily, resisting the urge to cover her eyes. A stiff smile hung on the corner of her mouth as she touched his stomach time and time again.


    If you look at a man''s body, it can''t be a needle, right? Qiao Liangge toyed with her little head and pretended to enjoy herself. However, she only stared at her clear collarbone and didn''t dare to look around.

 C9 The Peach Blossom

    The corner of her mouth raised, her pretty face was full of a satisfied smile.


    "Your Highness!" Hong Liang cried out in alarm. His gaze towards Qiao Liangjiao was filled with wariness. The longsword at his side gripped tightly in his hand as his killing intent was revealed!


    "Don''t be impatient." The old granny patted Hong Liang''s hand, her deep and aged eyes seemingly calculating something.


    "But Prince, he ¡­" Hong Liang wanted to say something more, but was stopped by a look from the old nanny. He could only lower his head, his eyes full of hatred for Qiao Liangjiao!


    This wicked woman had drugged him for the sake of obtaining the prince!


    Qiao Liangjiao''s eyes quickly scanned the crowd. With Hong Liang''s posture, it would be difficult for him to come out after entering the Seventh Prince''s Mansion.


    Besides, he did not know what the real situation was. If he were to rush over, he was afraid that he would be infected by unnecessary troubles.


    Her watery eyes suddenly locked onto a man in white. She exerted a little strength and quickly escaped from his side. With her feet touching the ground, she left the side of the war chariot in the blink of an eye and appeared in front of the man in white.


    "Heh, beauty. Long time no see. Have you missed me?" Qiao Liangjiao lightly lifted the white-clothed man''s chin.


    The man''s expression was blank, as if he hadn''t even reacted to Qiao Linjian''s shocking movement speed.


    After staring blankly for a long time, he finally took a big step back. He looked at Qiao Liang''s face that was as strange as a water ghost and opened his mouth: "You ¡­"


    "Yes, I miss you too." Qiao Liangge nodded her head and embraced the man''s waist as she smiled, "My heart is the same as yours!"


    "I ¡­" The man frowned and looked at the person who was lying on the carriage looking at him with a bitter face before looking at the servants of the Qiao family who had all moved to his side.


    "What''s your name?"


    "Xiao Rong." As he spoke, he smelled a sweet fragrance from his nose. It was not the usual fragrance of flowers; it was refreshing and refreshing. It was like a gentle breeze that had just passed through the hall, refreshing and refreshing.


    "Good name. I''ll call you Rong''er from now on. You can call me big brother Jing."


    Qiao Liangjiao smiled shamelessly and forcefully held the man as she walked towards her house. As she walked, she waved at Jianqing and the old mama, saying that she had matters to take care of and could not go to the Seventh Prince''s Mansion. When she had time, she would definitely reunite with Jianqing.


    Resume Front Edge...


    Hong Liang was burning with fury. Looking at how pitiful he was, he was infuriated to see that he was still sitting inside the crude ''chariot'' to clear the air. However, she was unable to do anything about it, so she could only follow the old wet nurse and escort her back.


    Qiao Liangjin''s steps were swift as the wind. He didn''t give Xiao Rong any chance to speak.


    Ah Kuan looked at the chariot that he had painstakingly made and asked softly, "Miss, what about the chariot?"


    Escaping was more important, why bother about chariots?


    Qiao Liangjiao waved her hand: "I''ll give it to them, I''ll make another one for them tomorrow."


    "Huh?" Ah Kuan and Bai both had bitter expressions on their faces.


    After avoiding the crowd, Qiao Liang Jin let go of Xiao Rong.


    "You ¡­"


    "So noisy!" Qiao Liangjiao shot a look at Xiao Rong, then raised her hand and hit the back of Xiao Rong''s head.


    That handsome face was twisted by the pain. He held onto the back of his head and asked, "Why did you hit me?"


    Eh? He didn''t faint?


    Qiao Liangjiao once again chopped out with her hand, and the strength in her hand was also increased. Seeing Zhang Junyan''s eyes slowly close, she rubbed her own hand as she unhesitatingly walked forward.


    "Miss, what should we do with him?" Pai Tai couldn''t help but ask as she looked at Xiao Rong, who was already sprawled on the ground.


    "If you want to strip, tear your clothes into many pieces."


    As she spoke, an idea flashed through Qiao Liangge''s mind. She stepped back and fiercely pinched Xiao Rong''s fair neck. Only after seeing the mark turn red and purple did she nod her head in satisfaction.


    "Miss, what are you doing?" Ruo Lan came over and asked in confusion. The place where the young miss had pinched him was near the top. It was summer now, and the clothes could not cover up the mark at all.


    "Planting strawberries." Qiao Liangjiao''s face was as if it was taken for granted, and she shot a look at A-Kuan and Bai.


    "Planting strawberries?" What are strawberries? " Ruo Lan tugged on Purple Smoke''s sleeve and asked.


    Zi Yan''s expression was indifferent as she looked coldly at Xiao Rong''s neck. Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably as she coughed dryly, "I, I don''t know. Cough, cough ¡­"


    "Strange." Ruo Lan pouted and followed behind Qiao Liangjin. She didn''t care what it was, as long as it was the little miss who did it, it would be the right thing to do!


    In the pavilion in the city, a man dressed in an embroidered robe was smiling as his eyes glimmered. In his hand was a jade bone fan that was constantly being struck against his palm. He smiled and said to the girl in front of him, "Princess Linglong, you have truly let me watch a good show."


    The woman''s face was like frost, her eyes full of hatred, but her lips formed a coquettish smile. Her pure and charming face immediately became lively because of this smile. She put down the teacup in her hand and said in a small voice, "I''m sorry that Young Master Ning doesn''t mind. As long as you like it."


    Her voice was soft and gentle, just like a person''s. However, her pair of small white hands were tightly clenched. Her fingernails were about to crush her palms!

 C10 Sisterhood

    The two stood by the window and watched Qiao Liangjiao swagger back and forth towards the Qiao residence.


    Heh!


    Ning Xi opened the jade fan in her hand and shook it slowly. Seems like this Xuanyuan Royal City is really interesting.


    The Seventh Prince, whose name shook the world, was quiet like this. The princess, Yu Linglong, who had always been a gentle and gentle person, was like this. The number one woman in the capital, a woman who was infatuated, was even more so.


    Qiao Liang Jin... Ning Ying thought to himself. It seemed that I should pay a visit to Master Qiao if I have the chance.


    He had just entered the Flower Geun-ge Pavilion when he heard a blue voice from outside the door, "Miss, it''s bad. Third Miss and Fourth Miss are here!"


    "Oh?" Qiao Lianjiao''s eyes were slightly raised. Her two little sisters got up early today.


    He waved at Purple Smoke, and Purple Smoke took out the little fox''s cage from the cabinet.


    Qiao Liangjiao carried the little fox out and looked at her makeup in the mirror.


    Before he could get up, he heard a sweet voice from outside the door, "Big sister, I''ve worked hard last night. I should have slept more this morning. Why are you up so early?"


    A woman in a bright red skirt and a white jade lotus hairpin walked in. She had a pair of smiling eyes. Just her slight squint made people think she was laughing.


    Her skin was as white as fat, her lips were rosy, and the bright red made her small face look even more delicate and fair.


    This was the Third Miss that Ruo Lan mentioned, Qiao Liangjiao''s half-sister ¨C Qiao Ya.


    A girl dressed in green followed behind Qiao Ya. She had a red mole on her forehead and her eyes were filled with disdain. Her appearance was domineering. When she saw Qiao LiangJin''s makeup, she laughed.


    It was the Fourth Miss that Ruo Lan mentioned. She and Qiao Ya''s mother and siblings. Her name was Qiao Yue''er. She was only thirteen years old, but she had done all sorts of evil deeds.


    Qiao Liangjiao silently watched the two enter the house and couldn''t help but sneer.


    This was truly a good thing that did not leave the house. Bad news spread far and wide!


    What happened this morning was what the two "ladies of a large family" who had not stepped out of the door were told to listen to.


    "Young man, full of anger." Qiao Liangjiao sat down and ordered Dai Li to pour the two of them some tea. Her slender white fingers touched the little fox''s back again and again.


    The little fellow who loved her caressing like this the most in the past trembled uncomfortably.


    "That''s true. Elder sister''s health has always been good. If you have a serious illness, you only need to eat a meal to recover. It will save you a lot of money!" Qiao Yue''er covered her mouth and laughed.


    "Yue Er, why are you talking to your elder sister?" Qiao Ya revealed an unhappy expression and reprimanded with a voice that was still tender and gentle. She then looked at Qiao Liang Jin with a coquettish smile. "Yue Er is still young. Elder sister, don''t get angry with Yue Er."


    Qiao Liangjiao rested her chin on her hand as she looked at the two of them with disdain.


    This third sister of hers had become famous for dancing at this year''s dance event at such a young age. She had even unintentionally taken off her veil to reveal her alluring appearance, giving her the reputation of "Royal City''s Dance of the Dance".


    Before the age of 15, those who came to make the engagement had already broken the threshold of the Residence of Qiao. When it came to acting, it was definitely an Oscar act.


    Seeing her understanding, gentle and generous appearance, Qiao Liangjiao almost forgot who it was that pushed the body of the original owner into the river!


    Seeing Qiao Liangjiao not say anything for a long time, Qiao Yue-er slapped the table in dissatisfaction: "Why are you not saying anything elder sister, is it because you feel guilty?"


    "I don''t understand what Yue Er is saying." Qiao Liangjiao ignored her image and scratched her belly through her clothes. She had no temperament of a lady, so she spat on the ground, "Why should I feel guilty?"


    "You know what you''ve done. You don''t know what you''ve done before you left the pavilion. Wait for Daddy to come home tonight, you can handle it!" Qiao Yue-er''s eyes were full of pride, her eyebrows raised as she looked at Qiao Liangjin.


    "What''s there to be afraid of? Let the Seventh Marquis marry me. The Seventh Marquis likes me, and I like the Seventh Prince as well. We''ve already ¡­" Qiao Liangjiao''s eyes blinked as she shyly made a move. Her pale face was indescribably strange.


    The body of the little fox in his embrace quivered, and it was hard to tell what it was thinking with its spirited eyes.


    The smile on Qiao Ya''s face froze. She couldn''t help but say, "But it''s not clear between elder sister and the young master of the Xiao family. I''m afraid the Seventh Marquis'' house will not agree, right?"


    "It''s okay, clean up and love me, I love to clear up. If he is willing, I will accept Young Master Xiao as my concubine. If he is not willing, then I will obediently stay together with him, appearing to be together with him. "


    Chirp chirp!


    The little fox suddenly called out and opened its mouth to bite Qiao Liangjiao''s finger. However, Qiao Liangjiao''s wrist slightly turned, and he held its head in his hand, scratching its neck for him.


    Then she picked it up and whispered in his ear, "If you move again, I''ll throw you out to fight with Tiger!"


    Tiger?


    The little fox''s face went stiff. According to Ruran, Tiger was a watchdog in the yard who liked to bite white things ¡­


    Her open mouth immediately closed, giving off an indescribable feeling of docility.


    However, there was a complicated look in her eyes as she looked at Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue''er.


    "¡­" Qiao Ya''s face slightly changed. Her hands gripped her skirt, but she maintained her smile. "Elder sister said ¡­." To take in a concubine? "

 C11 Terminal Phase

    "That''s right, why would I only allow men to have three or four concubines? I also want a concubine." Qiao Liangjiao nodded her head like she was pounding garlic.


    Qiao Ya was blocked by Qiao Liang Jin''s shameless appearance. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, but no matter what, she couldn''t say them.


    The little fox''s body became more and more stiff. It huffed and puffed as if it was angry.


    Seeing that Qiao Ya was angered, the corner of Qiao Liangjiao''s lips slightly rose as she took a sip of the tea in her cup.


    After calming down, Qiao Ya revealed a troubled expression as she said with a troubled expression. "Elder sister, I heard some rumors the other day. I don''t know if I should tell it ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjiao slightly raised her eyes and lightly swept her gaze over the two. Her face was the same as before, and she said: "Since little sister is in a difficult situation, then don''t say anymore."


    The smile on Qiao Ya''s face froze. Her heart was filled with anger, but she did not dare to flare up. She could only continue saying, "However, this matter concerns the future happiness of elder sister. Ya Er will not be able to calm down."


    "What does it have to do with me that you can''t calm down?" Qiao Liangjiao asked while blinking her large eyes.


    "You!"


    "Me?" Qiao Liangjiao pointed at her face that was like a water ghost and retorted.


    Qiao Ya took a few deep breaths before stabilizing her emotions. She continued, "Ya''er heard that the Seventh Prince grew up with Princess Linglong since they were engaged. I''m afraid that in the future, Big Sister will be disappointed."


    "Is that so?" Qiao Liangge scratched her head and said, "That really gives me a headache, but ¡­" What does that have to do with you? "


    "¡­"


    The corner of Qiao Ya''s mouth twitched. The smile on her face was unable to hang on. She took several deep breaths to stabilize her emotions and prevent herself from erupting.


    A hint of a smile leaked out of the little fox''s eyes.


    Qiao Yue-er quickly helped Qiao Ya speak up. "We are just worried for our elder sister, afraid that she will be disappointed in the future. Besides, the emperor loves Seventh Prince so much, even if we don''t get engaged to Princess Linglong, the Seventh Wangfei will definitely be a woman with a flawless appearance and exceptional talent. Elder sister, you ¡­" Forget it. "


    "Amazing talent?" Qiao Liangjiao''s gaze swept over Qiao Ya''s body and asked, "Little Sister Ya''er, you danced well. Is that considered amazing talent?"


    Hearing this, Qiao Ya''s face reddened. Dressed in red, she gave off an indescribable coquettishness. Her eyes slightly blinked as she shyly lowered her head and said, "What are you saying, elder sister? Ya Er knows that she is unlucky. How could she be worthy of Seventh Prince ¡­"


    "I don''t think you deserve it either." Qiao Liangjiao nodded and said with a smile, "Which girl in the brothel can''t dance, what kind of talent is that? Of course, I''m the only one worthy of the Seventh Prince! I''m beautiful and I can make up, don''t you think? "


    Qiao Yue-er rolled her eyes. She had seen shameless people before, but never had she seen such a shameless Qiao Liangjiao!


    With the deathly white makeup on her face, she might as well not wear it!


    Seeing that Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er were silent, Qiao Liangjiao suddenly approached them. A strange appearance appeared in front of their eyes. Her jet-black lips parted as she giggled. "Don''t you think so?"


    "I, I naturally think the same." Qiao Ya was frightened by this face. She slowly patted her chest as she spoke.


    Qiao Yue-er''s face was filled with disdain. She gnashed her teeth as she glared at Qiao Liangjiao and couldn''t help but say, "Sis, how can you be like this ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjiao naturally knew that she didn''t call him "elder sister", but she still raised her eyebrows and asked, "What''s wrong with me?"


    "I didn''t say anything!" Qiao Yue''er felt vexed and immediately replied impatiently.


    Qiao Liangjiao acted like she was hurt when she heard this. She clutched her chest and said, "You don''t recognize this big sister of mine. I''m going to tell daddy ¡­"


    "You!" Qiao Yue-er pointed at Qiao Liang Jin''s face.


    Qiao Liangjiao''s expression changed. She grabbed Qiao Yue-er''s small hand and exerted a bit of force, causing her face to distort and cry out in pain, "Ah! "Qiao Liangjiao, what are you doing?!"


    "Who asked you to point at me?" Qiao Liangge''s eyes narrowed. She was still speaking like a child, but the coldness in her eyes caused others to unconsciously shiver.


    "Let go of me first!" Qiao Yue-er was in pain, but she couldn''t break Qiao Liangjiao''s hand. She could only give in and say, "Good big sister, I was wrong. Please let me go, alright?"


    "Sure!"


    After saying this, Qiao Liangjiao abruptly let go. Qiao Yue-er still maintained her pulling posture and sat on the ground. She grimaced in pain, but didn''t dare to flare up.


    Her elder sister had always been treated like the apple of her eye by her father. In order to protect herself from being trained in martial arts since she was young, she often carried a dagger in her arms.


    Initially, she would only take it out for outsiders to use, but after she fell into the river and regained consciousness, everything changed drastically. She would often use a cold dagger to make gestures on the faces of people who were bad to her.


    Qiao Yue-er gnashed her teeth in hatred. She said that she wasn''t feeling well, so she left the Hibiscus Pavilion together with Qiao Ya.


    Qiao Liangjiao, who was waving at the two of them to say goodbye, waited for the two to completely disappear before his face turned cold.


    Her strange face was filled with disdain as she said to the makeup girl beside her, "Get me some water to help me clean up and change my clothes."


    "Yes, miss." Di Fu withdrew.


    Qiao Liangjiao''s eyes moved about, looking at the little fox''s worried face and purplish black mouth. She rubbed the little fox''s nose and said, "What do we do, daddy is coming back ¡­"

 C12 Beautiful Fox Bath

    The little guy''s eyes were full of confusion as he quietly looked at Qiao Liangjiao. His eyes were pitch black, and he seemed to be very spirited.


    Qiao Liang Jin stretched out a finger and lightly tapped on the little thing''s forehead. A white light flashed and that little body turned into a human shape.


    Despite having experienced it once, the little guy''s face was still filled with shock. After a moment of shock, he immediately pulled Qiao Liangjiao''s clothes to cover his naked body and asked: "Didn''t you say that Master Qiao loves you the most? You should be happy that he''s back."


    There was an indescribable age in that childish voice.


    Qiao Liangjiao looked at the little guy and asked, "Didn''t you always call him an old freak? Why did you suddenly change your words?"


    The little guy quietly looked at Qiao Liangjiao for a long time, then asked: "Why do you have to pretend like that in front of outsiders?"


    "Which one?" Qiao Liangjiao''s eyebrows rose, and she looked at Lil Thing with a deeper and more probing gaze.


    He had a nagging feeling that this guy was somehow different, but with this body, the bond between them couldn''t be deceived.


    "Lust, female hooligan, ignorance, vulgarity, rudeness." The little fox counted in a row, as if he thought of Qiao Liang''s unbearably disgusting appearance, and his eyes were filled with loathing.


    "Isn''t that good?" Qiao Liangjiao''s eyes squinted as she giggled and stroked Yu Sheng''s big, fluffy tail.


    Yu Sheng did not say a word. He lowered his head to ponder over something. His gaze swept across the place where Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er had sat a moment ago. There was a complicated expression on his face.


    After a long while, he said, "Not good, I hate it."


    "Yuesheng, did you know? I once watched an anime where a handsome fox made a contract with an ordinary female high school student. Afterwards, the two of them fell in love and lived happily ever after." Qiao Liang Jin''s tone was indescribably sorrowful. That world ¡­ It was already gone with the fire.


    The little fox in his arms suddenly stopped and looked at Qiao Liangjiao in fear. It was obvious that this body of his was that of a child!


    "When I met you, I wished we could be like them, but you are too young. So I hate you, I don''t like you, I hate you. "Even if you listen to me, stay away from me and avoid me, I still won''t have a good impression of you."


    Qiao Liang Jin grabbed the little guy''s ears and placed him on the ground. Under the care of the makeup, she took off her "Battle Armor".


    This little fox had already lived for five hundred years. His life would be longer in the future, but she could only accompany him for less than a hundred years.


    When she thought about how the little guy would wail at her body in the future, Qiao Liangjiao''s heart ached, so she treated him severely and doted on him less and less.


    The little fellow who had just covered his body with the tablecloth said angrily, "Who wants to capture me?!"


    However, the sadness in those watery eyes was reflected in Yu Sheng''s eyes.


    "Say who''s in a hurry."


    "I didn''t." Yu Sheng turned his face away, not looking at Qiao Liang Jin who had already washed his face clean.


    Qiao Liangjiao laughed and picked up Yusheng from the ground. He tore off the tablecloth he was wearing and placed him in the basin.


    The little fellow immediately struggled to turn its back. Its two short hands were still extended to cover its fart as it said, "Men and women shouldn''t be too intimate with each other. What are you trying to do?"


    "Pa ~ ~ ~" Qiao Liangjiao slapped her soft white butt and said: "If you''re a monster, I''ll drag you to sleep with a pig."


    "You!" The little guy was so angry that his cheeks bulged, constantly cursing Qiao Liangjiao''s evil woman in his heart!


    His hands were still protecting his body as he said, "I can wash myself!"


    "Alright." Qiao Liangjiao let go of her hands and told Pai Di to move a stool to the side. She sat down and waited to see how the little guy would wash himself.


    Although it was hard to bear being stared at, at least she didn''t have to do anything.


    Her small hands made a bow in the water and sprinkled it on her shoulders. Her cheeks were red with shyness, making her look like a cute little apple. Every time she rubbed her cheeks, she would glance at Qiao Liangjin and Dai Di.


    "Pfft, so cute, miss." Ruo Lan who had just walked in had a cute expression on her face as she looked at the short arms rubbing against her body.


    The face of the little guy in the basin turned completely black. Two women saw that he had not bathed enough, yet another one actually came!


    Ahhh ¡­


    Give it back to Qiao Ruoyin. Although this notorious playboy was extremely rude and had grabbed his neck and tossed it around, he was still a man with a handle!


    Yu Sheng held his forehead and said sorrowfully, "Why don''t you kill me!"


    "Kill you? "Why?" Seeing that he had finished, Qiao Liangge took him out of the basin and placed him on a towel that had been prepared long ago. She helped him wipe off the water droplets on his body.


    Yuesheng hurriedly covered her private stash and quickly wrapped her body in a towel. Then, she rolled herself up and wrapped herself up like a caterpillar.


    Life is better than death!


    He was a dignified Seventh Marquis, but he drank a cup of wine by mistake. After he woke up, he entered the body of this little fox.


    He was chased by Qiao Ruo Ying for a few miles. Not only was he running out of strength, he even almost became a ghost in a pot.


    It was not easy to be saved, but he did not expect himself to be in the hands of the number one female rogue in the Royal City, even though everything she did made him look at her in a new light. However, this did not mean that he would be able to accept this woman hugging his fruit everyday, and even touch it with her hands!

 C13 Shifter

    Recalling what he had done to himself last night, he felt like banging his head on a pillar, acting cute and asking to be caressed. What the hell was that!?


    Where is your moral integrity?


    Where is your chastity?


    Seeing the little guy''s expression, Qiao Lianjiao could not bear to see such an expression. She stroked his smooth black hair and said softly, "Okay, as long as you are obedient, I will still like you."


    "Oh." The little guy subconsciously nodded his head, then immediately reacted. He angrily flipped the table over: "Who said that because you don''t like it!"


    "If you say so, then so be it."


    "I really am not!" The little guy was about to go berserk.


    "I believe it. If you say it''s not true, then it''s not true." Her long and narrow eyes were filled with a smile that was not a smile. Her fair and pretty face slightly tilted to the side as she called for the fan to remove everything. She picked up a book and started reading.


    "I ¡­" The little guy was on the verge of death. Seeing Rulan whispering that she was fine, we understood and wished we could send her flying with a single slap.


    "..."


    As the night approached, Qiao Liangjiao changed into her "battle uniform" and two peach blossoms blossomed on the sides of her eyebrows, dyeing her small mouth red.


    Ruo Lan and Pai Di followed by Qiao Liangjin''s side with their chins held high. They still had their usual arrogant and domineering appearances.


    Zi Yan remained in the room and Yu Sheng, who was trapped in the cage, was staring at each other to prevent the little thing from taking the opportunity to run around blindly.


    The three swaggered to the front of the main hall, Qiao Liangjiao took a deep breath to calm herself down.


    Tonight would definitely be another tiring feast for the family.


    He hadn''t even set foot inside the door when he heard a soft voice come from behind him. It was so soft that it could melt a person''s bones.


    "Big Sister Jin''er!"


    Second Miss Qiao Yin walked over leisurely. Her goose-yellow clothes made her entire demeanor appear even more gentle, just like her mother and second aunt behind her.


    Her eyebrows were curved and she was smiling merrily as she moved close to Qiao Liangjiao''s side. Her appearance was very cute and lovable.


    A trace of impatience flashed across Qiao Liangjiao''s eyes. She didn''t stop her steps and walked straight into the inner hall.


    Qiao Yin didn''t know what to do, but she had long since gotten used to it. She carelessly followed behind Qiao Liangjiao, and as soon as she entered the door, she sweetly called out, "Grandmother, Yin''er misses you."


    As he spoke, he quickly walked past Qiao Liang and took the lead to arrive in front of Old Madam Qiao.


    "Let Grandma see, what is this writing?" Oh... It''s my home. It''s written very well. " Old Madam Qiao''s laughter rang out. She did not even glance at Qiao Yin as she embraced a nine-year-old boy.


    The boy''s eyes were dark and embedded in a pair of peach blossom eyes. His skin was snow-white. When he smiled, there was a dimple at the corner of his mouth. He was really adorable.


    This was the youngest son of her stepmother, Joan of Arc.


    Qiao Yin felt unresigned, but she didn''t dare to open her mouth. She could only suppress her expression and obediently sit in her seat, holding onto her pastries to vent her anger.


    "Let me see, what did Siyuan write?"


    Just as Qiao Liangjiao was about to speak, Qiao Siyuan came out of Old Madam Qiao''s embrace with a face full of joy. He held the words he had written and hurriedly ran to her side, offering them as if they were treasures. His distinct black and white eyes were filled with anticipation.


    "Elder sister, look." He laughed, revealing two small canines.


    Qiao Liangjiao held it in her hand and looked around for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "No, okay, your writing is too stingy, a man, why do you write like a girl?"


    The light in Jose''s eyes immediately went out. He stared at the words on the white paper for a long time before saying in disappointment, "Siyuan remembers big sister''s teachings."


    "What do you know!" When Old Madam Qiao saw her obedient grandson acting in such a manner, she was instantly infuriated.


    He angrily slapped the table, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain and contempt. He looked at the two servants behind her who looked down on everyone with their noses in the air, and then angrily pointed his walking stick at Qiao Liangjiao: "Look at how well you did at the palace entrance. You are throwing our Qiao family''s face away!"


    "Grandma, don''t blame me. Siyuan didn''t write well enough." Joss saw that Qiao Liangjiao was being scolded, so she immediately held on to Mrs. Qiao''s arm, her face full of sincerity.


    Qiao Ya, who was seated at the side, hated her younger brother the moment she saw his appearance.


    A month ago, like everyone else, Qiao Siyuan hated this fat female hooligan. However, he didn''t know what kind of bewitching soup Qiao Liangjiao had drank, but his attitude suddenly underwent a 180 degree change.


    Because of Old Madam Qiao''s favoritism, Qiao Siyuan was normally very proud and arrogant. He would probably not scold anyone, nor would he call anyone his elder sister. Instead, he called her by her name and made her even closer to him and Yue Er, his two biological sisters!


    "I can see that Siyuan''s handwriting is pretty good." The one who said this was Qiao Yin''s cousin, Qiao Ningzi. She had just turned 17, and due to the fortune-teller''s words, her marriage before reaching the age of 18, her family would be exterminated. She was still unmarried.


    Qiao Si Yuan rolled his eyes at Qiao Ning Zi and arrogantly said, "That is because you can only see the surface. You can''t see the connotations. It''s superficial!"


    Qiao Ningzi''s delicate little face instantly turned ashen, but she only smiled and said nothing more.

 C14 Lip Gun and Tongue Combat

    Old Madame Qiao''s temperament was greatly disturbed by Qiao Yifan''s actions. Her main heart immediately relaxed and she returned the walking stick to its original position. It seemed as if she was trying to keep her cool, and the sound of the walking stick hitting the ground was very loud.


    Qiao Liangjiao did not notice as she led her two maidservants and sat on her seat. Although it was not the seat of honor, it was the seat closest to Prime Minister Qiao. If there was a family banquet, it would definitely belong to her, Qiao Liangjiao. Even if someone with ulterior motives were to take over this position, in the end, Master Qiao would order that person to switch with Qiao Liangjin.


    Although everyone in the Qiao family hated Qiao Liang Jin, they were more eager to please her.


    Not only was he fearful of her brute force and the shiny cold knife in her sleeve, but it was also because of the favor of Master Qiao ¨C Qiao Zheng.


    When she was young, Qiao Yin was not sensible and quarreled with Qiao Liang Jin. On the charge of disrespecting her elder sister, Qiao Zheng had her write a book two hundred times in her room. For a full four days, Qiao Yin''s wrist was swollen from writing. She could not hold the brush or grab the chopsticks, and even had to be helped in putting on her clothes.


    All the good things were picked by Qiao Liangge first. If this aunt likes them, then she will take them all. If this aunt doesn''t like them, then she will pick them for the rest of the sisters.


    If this grandma didn''t like it and didn''t want to see it, she could just throw it all away.


    With the growth of Qiao Liang Jin''s age, such preferential treatment became more and more unmanageable.


    Even Old Madam Qiao didn''t dare to touch Qiao Liangjiao in public. As for secretly touching her ¡­ Old Madam Qiao''s eyes swept over Pink Dai and Ruo Lan. These two maidservants weren''t ordinary people either. If they wanted to touch Qiao Liangjiao, then no matter whether it was in the open or in the dark, she would be the one at a disadvantage!


    A short while later, Qiao Zheng''s silhouette could be seen. Everyone on the table stood up and saluted Qiao Zheng.


    However, Qiao Zheng''s eyes stared straight at Qiao Liangjiao, his expression was unfathomable. He first paid his respects to Old Madam Qiao before seating himself in his seat.


    When everyone saw him take his seat, they sat down.


    "Hmph, I won''t be safe. You should ask your darling daughter what she has done!" Old Madam Qiao snorted, her eyes filled with loathing.


    This morning''s incident at the palace entrance had already been spread over countless versions. One woman and two men had already spoken of it, so how could Qiao Zheng not have heard of it?


    However, his expression remained the same, without any fluctuations. He said, "It''s just a rumor in the market. It can''t be true."


    "Father, it''s not as simple as the rumors say. Half the people in Xuanyuan Royal City saw eldest sister and seventh prince appear together at the palace gates in untidy clothes this morning." Qiao Yue''er added on.


    Qiao Liang''s eyes narrowed but she did not speak. What she lacked right now was someone who would incite the flames. The bigger the issue, the better it would be. Only if this matter became bigger would Qiao Zheng''s plans and thoughts be put to rest!


    Thinking of his father''s excessive love, Qiao Liangjiao felt uncomfortable in her heart.


    "So what?" "Qiao Yue-er, if I appear at the entrance of the palace with you, wouldn''t that be abnormal?"


    "Nonsense!" Old Madam Qiao slapped the table and said, "You are siblings, how can you joke like this!"


    "Then what right do you have to joke around with that Seventh Marquis? I can''t?" Joss didn''t want to.


    "You ¡­" Qiao Yue-er was blocked by Qiao Siyuan''s words. She didn''t know how to retort and could only sulk. She hated her younger brother for turning his elbow outwards, but in her heart, she was growing more and more tired of Qiao Liang-Jin!


    Qiao Liangjiao continued to observe the development of the matter coldly. Her eyes were on her nose and her heart; she didn''t explain or add fuel to the fire.


    When Qiao Yin saw this, he softly said, "I''m not joking around with elder sister''s reputation. It''s just that when a lady who hasn''t left the pavilion appears in public with a man like that, it''s inevitable that it will arouse criticism."


    "That''s right. What''s more, what big sister said back then was too explicit. It was really too humiliating ¡­" With a compassionate expression, Qiao Ya continued.


    "Oh?" Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Ya. "How can this be a humiliation?"


    Qiao Ya bit her lower lip and awkwardly said, "Ya Er cannot say it."


    "Then how did you know that their words were meant to humiliate the sect?" The expression on Qiao Zheng''s face could not be seen.


    "Ya Er is only listening to the servant''s idle chatter ¡­"


    Qiao Zheng''s face froze before he finished speaking, his expression turned cold and even his voice turned icy. "The dignified Third Miss of the Residence of Qiao, you actually took away someone''s gossip to frame your sister. Chastity, how did you discipline her?"


    Zhen Zhen Zhen''s heart that was sitting next to Qiao Zheng was startled. His expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal as he said, "Ya Er is just worried for my sister, afraid that these words will tarnish my innocence. This is just a reminder."


    Hearing this, Qiao Ya immediately continued to speak, "Ya Er is just worried for elder sister, there''s no other reason ¡­"


    It was only then that Qiao Zheng''s expression eased up slightly.


    However, after this incident, no one dared to speak anymore.


    Only old lady Qiao slapped the table in dissatisfaction and said: "It doesn''t matter if the matter is true or not, she, Qiao Liangjiao, will always be keeping our Qiao family''s face by the door. If this goes on, where will my face go?!"

 C15 Whipping into the Innermost Part of the Body

    "Mother, you''re being too serious." Qiao Zheng was still unhurried. "Jin''er has reached her prime. A few days ago, King Ning of the south came to propose marriage, I intend to marry her."


    The meaning behind his words was that I had already found a husband for my precious daughter. If you brought this matter up again, you would only be slapping my face.


    With just one sentence, he had sealed the mouths of everyone sitting at the table. It could really be said that it weighed a thousand pounds.


    Qiao Liangjiao''s lowered eyes finally snapped up when Qiao Zheng said this. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but her face was still the same as usual. She asked with a smile, "Father, is Young Master Ning good-looking? I am so good-looking, I must be worthy of the most beautiful person in the world. "


    "Ugh ¨C" Qiao Ning Yan covered her mouth, looking at her red lips that were opening and closing.


    If Qiao Liangge dared to call this matter second, no one would dare to claim that they were first!


    "Good." Qiao Zheng changed his stern expression to one that was pleasant to the eye as he faced Qiao Liang.


    Behind Qiao Liangjiao, Pai Di was frowning. She was worried that the little miss was unwilling, so she took out a dagger and pointed it at the old master''s neck.


    But Qiao Liangjiao only nodded as she ate. Blinking her watery eyes, she said, "Okay, then I''ll take it as a large room for you!"


    "Big room?" Old Madam Qiao snorted coldly upon hearing this. "Do you still want to have other husbands?"


    "Yes." Qiao Liangjiao acted as if it was a matter of course. "Seventh Prince and I have already been privately betrothed for a long time, and we promised him a place in the family."


    Qiao Zheng''s eyes became cold, but his face still held a look of love. He refused Qiao Liangjiao''s words and said, "Serve up the dishes. After a busy day, I''m a little hungry."


    The last two sentences were undoubtedly for Qiao Liangjiao to hear.


    Qiao Liangjiao''s lips opened, but in the end, she didn''t speak.


    At this moment, the marriage had not been decided yet, and there was still room for reversal. Her notoriety had long floated out of Xuanyuan Kingdom, so she was not worried about the Southern Ning Family not listening.


    She obediently picked up two chopsticks for Qiao Zheng and started eating with a smile.


    However, that pair of beautiful eyes continued to move about, and her thoughts went through a hundred twists and turns.


    There was a table of people eating a meal with different thoughts. There were always juniors that paid attention to him, but they were also very different.


    He brought Ruo Lan and Pai Di back to the pavilion with their noses to the sky. When they entered the room, Qiao Liangjiao''s body went soft and she sat on the bed.


    Seeing how exhausted the young miss was, Pai Dai could not help but get hot water to wash the makeup of the young lady''s face. She could not help but advise, "Miss, if you are truly unwilling, you can tell the old master. The old master loves you so much, and he probably won''t force you to do so."


    "Dai Di, there are too many people in this world that cannot control their own bodies, I am the same way. There are times when Daddy can''t control his own body." Qiao Liangjiao sighed and thought that there were many women who were brain-dead. It would be easier for her to blow up a fortress.


    Ruo Lan''s heart clenched as well. The young miss was willing to do anything to make her reputation worse. She wanted to let the entire capital know that she was a lecherous and shameless hooligan. It was simply to guard against this day and make sure that no man in Xuanyuan would dare to marry her.


    However, who would have thought that since Xuanyuan Kingdom had no one else in the world, the Old Master came to the Southern Kingdom.


    How distinguished was the Southern Kingdom''s Ning Family? They practiced medicine for generations, their ancestors had saved the life of the Southern Kingdom''s Emperor, and they had treated the incurable diseases of the royal family many times.


    The infirmary was established throughout the world, and there were sub-titles everywhere. Even the largest infirmary in Xuanyuan Royal City was owned by the Ning family.


    The Ning Family was a tough nut to crack. They couldn''t afford to offend them recklessly, and they didn''t know where to start from. They were really sweating for their young miss.


    After cleaning up, Qiao Liangge leaned her head against the bed and closed her eyes to rest.


    Zi Yan took out Yu Sheng from the cage and placed him beside Qiao Liangjiao.


    As if it had noticed her fatigue, the furry little thing didn''t struggle at all and obediently leaned against Qiao Liangjin''s body. Its pair of black eyes stared fixedly at this exquisite face that was as noble as a green lotus, and it sunk into deep thought.


    "Miss ¡­" Ruo Lan hesitated for a while before saying, "If the lord agrees to marry you, will you really marry that Seventh Marquis?"


    Qiao Liangjiao rubbed her forehead and said without hesitation, "I''m not marrying."


    The body of the little fox beside him stiffened as a hint of disappointment flashed across its eyes.


    "Then are you really going to marry into the Ning family?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.


    "My reputation has been rotten for a long time. How could the Ning family tolerate me?" Qiao Liangjiao slightly opened her eyes and her gaze unfocused landed on the little fox''s snow-white body. She reached out her hand and gently caressed it before continuing, "I will wait for the Ning Family to take the initiative to break off the engagement. In the next few days, let''s make a bigger ruckus."


    "But didn''t you say that the Seventh Prince was possessed by a monster and shouldn''t be provoked again?"


    What''s there to be afraid of?" Thousands of men in the capital. If it really doesn''t work, we''ll switch. " Qiao Liangge scratched the little fox''s neck.


    The small ears drooped, and the thoughts ran through his mind.


    That''s right, in her eyes, the Seventh Prince was just a useless person who relied on the Emperor''s favor and a good body.


    The usual way of expressing love was just to hide it from the public.

 C16 A Tiger Eyeing Its Prey

    If it were any other person, it would have been possible. However, it just so happened that he could attract enough attention and attract enough topics to talk.


    Normally, he would be happy to hear such words from the silly girl that he hated, but now, his heart was filled with disappointment and frustration.


    In comparison to all of these, what he was more concerned about was that she was going to be married off?


    Qiao Liangjiao''s eyes closed once more. If Lan Lan knew that the Miss was really tired, she couldn''t say anything else and left the room with the makeup on.


    The little fox slightly moved its body and looked at the clean white sleeping face for a moment without moving. There was a complex feeling in its eyes before it quietly got off the bed and ran out of the room.


    Her small white body quickly crawled into the bushes. Seeing that there was no one at the entrance, she hurriedly ran out of the Blossom Valley and ran towards the main entrance of the Residence of Qiao!


    If he remembered correctly, it should be here.


    However, before he ran far, he felt his body lighten.


    His four limbs struggled continuously as he heard a soft female voice asking, "Little bastard, where are you going?"


    Qiao Ya''s smile was tender and beautiful as her eyes moved. Her red clothes were indescribably shocking in the darkness of the night.


    However, the viciousness in their eyes caused them to tremble uncontrollably.


    Her tiny body struggled with all its might, but she couldn''t get rid of it.


    Qiao Yue-er also looked at this little thing. She stretched out a finger and heavily tapped him on the forehead before saying, "Yo, isn''t this the little beast that Big Sis carried in her bosom?"


    When these two little animals cried out, the little guy''s body stiffened slightly. The depths of his eyes revealed an undetectable expression.


    Seeing that the struggle was useless, he simply raised his head and stared straight into Qiao Ya''s eyes.


    Her pair of pitch black eyes were filled with an indescribable aloofness and coldness.


    "You''re still putting on a show for me?" When Qiao Ya saw this, she threw the little thing at her feet and ruthlessly kicked the body of the fox.


    That small body immediately flew far away. The soft white fur on the ground rubbed against it until it became pitch black. However, it still stubbornly got up and silently looked Qiao Ya in the eye.


    "Sis, this isn''t good, this is Qiao Liangjin''s thing after all, I''m afraid it won''t end well for us if she finds out." Qiao Yue-er felt somewhat afraid. She pulled Qiao Ya''s arm, which she wanted to continue kicking the little fox.


    Unexpectedly, Qiao Ya swung her arm with a fierce glint in her eyes. She looked at the little body and said viciously: "Only you and I have seen this. So what if she knows? "This fox is just an animal. Even if it could speak, it would still be a corpse by then. Who would have thought that we were the ones who did it?"


    The little fox''s gaze remained cold and detached, as if it knew what they wanted it to do. Its fluffy tail lightly swayed twice. The fox''s mouth showed a strange curve, but its four claws quietly retreated a few steps.


    Borrowing the moonlight, Qiao Ya saw that the fox''s mouth actually split open and revealed a human-like smile. She became even more vexed. "Stupid fox, you''re actually mocking us like its master. See if I peel off its fox skin or not!"


    Qiao Yue-er revealed an evil side to the usually gentle Qiao Ya. She was also born with the guts to do so. She also wanted to see how sad Qiao Liangjin would be if he were to see a white fox skin wrapped around Qiao Ya''s neck.


    Something that could make Qiao Liangjin unhappy was something that she was most willing to do.


    Without even thinking about it, he and Qiao Ya walked step by step towards the little fox.


    The little fox saw the ominous glint in the two girls'' eyes as they approached him. It retreated while inspecting its surroundings. It had to escape, it could not afford to die like a fox in this residence.


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, scanned his surroundings and saw a fake mountain. Not far from the mountain was a wall. If he were to climb over that, he would definitely be able to escape the Prime Minister''s residence.


    The little fox suddenly stopped retreating. Its expression suddenly changed to one of joy as it emitted chirping sounds from its mouth. It was as if it had seen the person it wanted to see the most.


    Qiao Yue''er felt a chill on her back and quickly turned her head. Qiao Ya saw that Qiao Yue''er had turned her head as well.


    The little fox''s eyes flashed with a cunning light, and with a ''whoosh'', it jumped out from between the two of them.


    The two of them realised that there was no one behind them, but a white figure quickly flew past them. "Grab it."


    Qiao Yue''er and Qiao Ya chased the little fox up the fake mountain.


    The little fox prepared to jump onto the wall. Only then did it discover that between the wall and the fake mountain was a three meter wide pond.


    The little fox suddenly wanted to grab a wall and wailed. What kind of world was this, what kind of design was this? Who designed it? How could it design a pool here?


    Qiao Ya climbed up the fake mountain. Looking at the nearby wall that was facing the sky while letting out a long howl, the little fox sneered. "You won''t be able to escape, right ¡­?"


    "Third sister, fourth sister, what are you doing?" From beneath the fake mountain came a young child''s voice.


    When the little fox heard this voice, it also looked down from the fake mountain and saw a little kid dressed in a suit. If it didn''t guess wrongly, it should be this young master of the Prime Minister''s Estate, Qiao Siyuan.

 C17 Intentional

    The little fox seemed to be begging for help as it chirped a few times at Josephine.


    Wasn''t this Big Sis''s favorite little fox? Why did Third Sis and Fourth Sis seem to be trying to stop it?


    Josephine wanted to see clearly what was going on, so regardless of what was going on, she used her hands and feet to climb the small fake mountain.


    Just as he steadied his footing, the little fox jumped onto Josephine''s shoulder with a "clang" and waved its claws arrogantly at the two sisters.


    Qiao Siyuan was amused by the little fox''s actions. He patted its head and softly consoled, "Don''t be afraid. This place isn''t that high. I''ll bring you down and send you back to Big Sis."


    With that said, he brought the little fox down.


    Qiao Ya coldly watched as Qiao Yifan prepared to descend into his little shadow. Qiao Yue''er slowly walked over and knelt before Qiao Siyuan who was climbing down the mountain. She smiled and said, "Little brother, let me help you."


    With that, he pried open the fingers that were climbing the fake mountain one by one.


    Qiao Siyuan was stunned for a moment. He was caught off guard and his feet slipped. His entire body was suspended in midair.


    One hand had already been pried away. The other was trying to hold on to the rockery, but his small arm didn''t have the strength to hang over it.


    He looked into the distance with all his might, hoping that there would be someone to see him and save him.


    Seeing that one of Joshua''s arms was still hanging on the fake mountain, her eyes were gloomy. Step by step, she walked over and heavily stepped on his finger.


    With a cry of pain, Jose fell into the pond beneath the rockery.


    When Qiao Yue-er saw the small figure fall into the pond, she struggled non-stop. Unexpectedly, her brows relaxed. "I really hate him. He was doted on by so many people and died cleanly."


    The little fox fell into the water with Josephine. Relying on his four claws, he swam desperately to the shore.


    He glanced at the struggling Jose, who was running toward the noise and had to find someone to save him. The fox was too thin to carry him ashore.


    Suddenly, he felt himself being grabbed in midair again. The little fox was extremely vexed. Why did this person from the Prime Minister''s Hall always like to hold onto the back of his neck when he was free?


    A pair of shiny black eyes fell upon it, and it suddenly let out a sigh of relief. It then pointed its claws at the pond and cried out nonstop.


    "What''s wrong? Why are you so nervous? "Ha, is there a female fox who wants to date you and then get stuck in a dog hole?" A certain someone''s eyes suddenly shone with light as if he was in the middle of a fight.


    The little fox let out a sorrowful sigh before pointing towards the pond with all its might.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hearing was not bad. He could hear that there was something struggling in the water. She threw the fox into the water behind her and quickly ran towards the pond.


    Josephine struggled desperately in the water. He had never thought that his third sister and fourth sister would actually harm him. Seeing that his eldest sister''s fox had landed, he suddenly felt gratified.


    I really want to listen to big sister''s amazing words and teachings ¡­


    Water kept gushing into his nose from all directions. Gradually, Joshua stopped struggling.


    "Putong." A figure nimbly jumped into the pond.


    With a "Hua" sound, a dripping ghost lady stood in the water. She covered her swollen forehead and angrily cursed, "Who the hell designed this pool? How could it be so shallow?!"


    Qiao Yue-er and Qiao Ya saw Qiao Liangjin jump into the water and hurriedly descend from the fake mountain. As Qiao Ya was escaping, she even accidentally sprained her foot.


    The ghost lady stood up. The water had only reached her chest. For adults, this wasn''t a deep pond, but it was more than enough to drown a child.


    She walked to a place far away from Joss that was gradually sinking. She scooped him up from the water, walked to the shore, and placed her small body on the shore. She then used the cardiopulmonary resuscitation method to press down on Joss'' chest.


    He pressed his hand on Josephine''s chest time and time again. Finally, under her efforts, Josephine spat out a few mouthfuls of sewage with a "Wah!".


    Looking up, he smiled at Qiao Lianjin tiredly and said softly, "Sister ¡­" Then he lost consciousness.


    Muse looked anxiously at the unconscious Josef and asked, "Miss, is there a problem?" Is the young master alright? "


    Qiao Liangjin only let out a "Oh" and held up the small body of Qiao Yifan. Her voice was especially soft, "Let''s go, send the young master back."


    He glanced at the fox in her arms.


    The little fox suddenly trembled. When it raised its head to look, Qiao Liangjin had already shifted his gaze.


    The entire Prime Minister''s Estate was alarmed by the incident of Joss falling into the water.


    Almost everyone was gathered at the door of Josephine''s room, quietly waiting for news.


    Qiao Zheng looked at the unconscious Qiao Siyuan lying on the bed and gave Qiao Liangjin a look before walking out of the bedroom.


    The moment the door opened, Qiao Zheng looked at the woman standing by the door and could not help but furrow his brows. He said softly, "What are you all gathered here for? Siyuan was fine. Go back. "

 C18 Transection of Nasal Blood

    Everyone was disappointed and pleasantly surprised. However, they all obediently left the room.


    Qiao Zheng turned to look at the nonchalant Qiao Liangjin behind him, his voice a little hoarse. "Jin''er, who is it?"


    Qiao Liangjin shrugged, shook his head and said, "I was busy bringing up Siyuan, so I didn''t notice who was on the fake mountain. "Oh, right. Who didn''t come to see Siyuan just now? Who didn''t come? That''s the suspect."


    "Suspect?" Qiao Zheng repeated the word as he was a little unfamiliar with it.


    "Well, who could be the murderer?" Qiao Liangjin scratched his finger nonchalantly and looked up at the sky. The sky was really cold, this was his biological father, why couldn''t he see that his precious daughter was still wearing wet clothes?


    "Dai Di, quickly bring the young miss back to change her clothes and cook some ginger soup to ward off the cold." Qiao Zheng heard Qiao Liangjin purposely sneeze and realized that his daughter had yet to change into a clean set of clothes.


    At most, he would be frightened and would have a fever. After a few days, he would be fine. When he wakes up, we will know who pushed him down, so you should go to bed early.


    After saying that, she waved her hands and left, leaving with the two foxes in her arms.


    After returning to the Golden Flower Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin started to take off his clothes even before he entered the door.


    The little fox stared dumbstruck at Qiao Liangjin who had already taken off his undergarment.


    The little fox''s back that was as smooth as jade was naked in its eyes. Unexpectedly, the little fox heard the sound of it swallowing its saliva, and it reluctantly closed its eyes as it thought to itself, "Don''t look at me unless I''m being courteous, don''t look at me if I''m being courteous."


    Qiao Liangjin took a large silk handkerchief and wrapped it around himself. He took out the underwear he designed and threw it on the screen.


    She crooked her fingers at the little fox and obediently placed it on the table.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and sat on the round stool. He supported his chin with one hand and gently caressed the little fox''s back with the other.


    The little fox always felt that Qiao Liangjin''s smile was too fake. It squinted its eyes, trying its best to not let itself look down.


    Fine, I didn''t expect this woman''s collarbone to be so exquisite.


    The little fox swallowed another mouthful of saliva. Wrapped in the silk handkerchief with its towering chest, it became the most beautiful scenery aside from its collarbone.


    He had never known that Qiao Liangjin had such a beautiful figure under his wide battle uniform.


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to feel the lustful eyes of the little fox sizing up his chest. She purposely puffed up her chest.


    Her eyes suddenly opened very wide and round, and then she heard loud laughter as she slapped the table, "Heavens, Matte, Ruo Lan, Purple Smoke, quickly come and see! The fox is bleeding from his nose! It''s been a long time! "


    As he spoke, he pounded the table and laughed.


    The little fox resentfully glanced at Qiao Liangjin. It used its tail to cover its face, but in its heart, it was lamenting over and over again. What kind of creature was this? This woman was simply too shameless!


    When Lan Lan heard that foxes could bleed from their noses, she immediately picked up the little fox and laughed out loud when she saw the bloodstains on the snow-white fur near their noses.


    The little fox was somewhat vexed. It stretched out its claws in an attempt to scratch Ruo Lan, but Ruo Lan simply threw it on the ground.


    The little fox waved its claws in a threatening manner and looked around. Finally, it saw a cloak on the bed and jumped onto the bed. It held the cloak in its mouth and slowly moved to Qiao Liangjin''s feet.


    A pair of starry eyes stared pitifully at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and picked up his cloak. He then threw it back onto the bed. He then picked up the little fox and lightly tapped its forehead with his finger.


    A little boy appeared in Qiao Liangjin''s arms.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes turned slightly cold. "Tell me, who pushed you and Siyuan into the pond?"


    Eh, isn''t this woman stupid? She also knows that she fell into a pond.


    He touched the tip of his nose and muttered, "Your sisters."


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to have already gotten the answer. He gently caressed Yu Sheng''s stomach and laughed, "As expected, Yu Sheng, why did you run? If you don''t run, you won''t be caught, and Siyuan won''t fall into the water. "


    Eh, how did she know this as well? The little fox blinked its eyes as it looked at the girl in front of it.


    She was smarter than he''d thought.


    A pair of fox-like eyes, shining with admiration. Of course, if only she didn''t scratch her belly now, how nice would that be!


    The little fox blocked Qiao Liangjin''s hands in a slightly twisted manner. It then said, "I won''t run anymore."


    "Alright, you said so. The next time you run, I''ll break your legs." Qiao Liangjin viciously pinched Yusheng''s fleshy cheek, then threw him to Roulan.


    "He smells like a stinking puddle of water. If it''s blue, throw him in a bath." After saying that, he stretched his back and walked towards the back of the screen.


    The powder had already been carefully prepared for the bath water.


    A dreamless night.

 C19 Dissecting Chapter to Extract Meaning

    It was already early in the morning when Qiao Liangjin heard the ruckus at the door.


    She stretched lazily and kicked Yu Sheng, who was sleeping at the foot of the bed in the form of a fox.


    Why did it still sleep when she woke up?


    Zi Yan came in with a water basin and placed it on a shelf. She tidied up the bed and said, "Everyone will be in the main hall now. We''ll wait for Miss."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed with hidden bitterness. "If the daily activities were not carried out, the citizens of King''s City would definitely be disappointed."


    Right after she finished speaking, Ruo Lan brought the armor in, and said with a smile, "Miss, I am already prepared. I will take the mission every day without moving in the rain. Let''s go."


    Qiao Liangjin patted on Ruo Lan''s shoulder in satisfaction: "I like people like this kind of ignorant you. Oh, no, you have eyes."


    Everyone in the hall was waiting until the butler''s voice came from outside Qiao Liangjin''s door, "You''re back, you''re back, Miss is back."


    Qiao Liangjin''s heavy footsteps reached the main hall, causing Qiao Zheng to furrow his brows.


    "Everyone, you''ve waited for a long time. Father, what is it?" Everyone looked very serious. Do you need me to do something? It doesn''t matter, if you have any objections, then just put it out at the same time. It''s fine if you all say it, but I''ll pretend I didn''t hear it. Qiao Liangjin''s eyes quickly swept over them.


    "Jin''er, where is that fox?" Qiao Zheng''s voice was majestic without anger.


    "Fox? What does it have to do with my fox that you all are gathered here? "


    "Big sister, yesterday, Siyuan accidentally fell into the pond in order to help you catch that fox. Father said that we must kill the culprit."


    Qiao Yin''s soft voice sounded from the corner.


    "A fox that isn''t even five catties, why are you all so concerned about it?" I say, little sister Yinyin, why aren''t you doing it anymore? " Qiao Liangjin leaned back in his teacher''s chair and sat down.


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s unconcerned expression, Qiao Yin was speechless. She didn''t even know what was called Xi Shi.


    Qiao Yin''s voice was somewhat hesitant. "Elder Sister, what do you mean by ''Xi Shi''?"


    "Even if I told you, you wouldn''t understand. I told you to read more and compete less, so you wouldn''t listen." Qiao Liangjin''s mouth opened wide as he yawned.


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, Qin Se lightly pulled Qiao Yin''s sleeve and shook her head.


    Qiao Yin suddenly felt a little vexed. Why was he showing off today? He saw Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er at the side, watching as they watched a good show.


    "Jin''er, stop messing around. I heard that it was indeed because of the fox that Siyuan fell into the water." Qiao Zheng placed the teacup gently on the tea table, not at all bothered by Qiao Liangjin''s nonsense.


    "Dad, I''ve already asked Yu Sheng who he is ¡­" Her index finger circled the hall once before suddenly pointing at Qiao Yin.


    Qiao Yin''s face immediately paled as he said in panic, "Elder sister, don''t try to frame me. I was practicing the zither yesterday."


    Qin Se saw Qiao Liangjin pointing at Qiao Yin and hurriedly stood up. She pulled Qiao Yin and said, "Jin''er, don''t wrongly accuse your second sister. She''s always been timid and timid."


    Qiao Liangjin retracted his finger, he unceremoniously scratched his nose and laughed: "I already said it was you, what about it? Otherwise, come hit me! "


    "You!" Qin Se pointed excitedly at Qiao Liangjin, her gaze directed helplessly at Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng lowered his head to drink the tea in his cup.


    Qin Se looked around. No one wanted to speak up for Qiao Yin and no one stood up to testify for her.


    She suddenly let out a faint smile as she pulled Qiao Yin to her knees. "Qiao Yin knows his wrongs."


    Qiao Yin was pulled down to his knees by his mother. Hearing his mother''s words, he looked at her in surprise. She didn''t understand what she had done wrong.


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he laughed out loud: "Second Aunt, why did you admit your fault so quickly? I didn''t say who it was, I only said a few beans."


    Gah, was she ordering beans?


    Qin Se raised her head and looked at Qiao Liangjin, who was standing in front of her, with a lost look on her face.


    The startled Qin Si suddenly felt something flowing under her body.


    Qiao Yin''s shriek woke her up. "Mother, Mother, there''s a lot of blood on your skirt."


    Qin Se looked anxiously at Qiao Zheng as he stood up. She suddenly smiled. So it was only at this time that she could receive his care.


    The medicine woman came out from the Sound Pavilion and shook her head at Qiao Zheng who was waiting at the door. She softly said, "Second Madam''s pregnancy is unstable to begin with and this time it is the same as before. She has not survived past two months."


    Qiao Zheng seemed to have long known that this would happen and waved his hand, allowing the female doctor to leave.


    He turned his head angrily and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was staring blankly at the sky. His voice contained a hint of anger, "Jin''er, you''re joking this time around."


    Qiao Liangjin grinned but did not respond.


    Who didn''t know that the Zither Young Master had already become a habitual miscarriage? Even if he were to bend his waist, it was still possible for him to miscarry.


    She was just playing along with the flow.

 C20 Kyphosis

    Old Madam Qiao then heavily pointed at her walking stick as she scolded angrily, "Why did our Qiao family only have one person like you ¡­" One thing! "


    Qiao Zheng saw that Qiao Liangjin did not seem to care and was slightly angered. He pointed at the Flower Solarium and said, "Give me that fox."


    "Father, what should I give you?" Let you kill him? " Qiao Liangjin refused to budge an inch.


    "Impudent! You even know that he''s your father, you unfilial son!" Old Madam Qiao then used her walking stick to continuously light up the bluestone tiles.


    "Siyuan, did you admit it when that fox fell into the water?" Qiao Zheng asked.


    Qiao Liangjin did not reply and only nodded his head.


    "Since it''s because of him, we must kill him." Qiao Zheng said word for word.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and raised his head. He looked like Liu Hulan had heroic intentions as he sprawled on the ground: "Okay, if you want to kill that stupid fox, you have to step over my dead body!"


    Everyone stared dumbstruck at the pile of meat on the ground in front of them.


    Qiao Zheng did not think that Qiao Liangjin would actually use this move. He held onto his chest and retreated a few steps. Zhen Chong held him and he closed his eyes to steady himself.


    "Don''t cause trouble without reason. You must kill him." Qiao Zheng persisted in his thoughts this time.


    Qiao Liangjin realized that this move of his was useless. His plump body turned over and over before finally sitting up with great difficulty. He desperately used his chubby arms to support his boots. After a long time, his face flushed red and he finally pulled out a small dagger.


    Putting the dagger on her neck, she took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes. Instantly, they were filled with tears.


    "Dad, either you cross over my dead body and kill the fox." Qiao Liangjin''s tears fell unceasingly.


    When had Qiao Zheng ever seen his daughter like this.


    Just as he was about to say something, he saw some red liquid slowly flow out from under Qiao Liangjin''s dagger. His heart tightened.


    "Puff ¡­" Qiao Zheng was anxious and angry when he finally spat out a mouthful of blood.


    When chastity saw Qiao Zheng spitting out blood, she hurriedly called out: "Quickly invite the imperial physician. Forget it, this matter shall end here. Yun Chu, Wen''er, help the madame to her room. Jin''er, go back and close your eyes and think. "


    With a few words, he arranged everything properly and left with Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly hurt when he saw Qiao Zheng spitting out blood. Although he clearly knew that this Qiao Zheng was not related to him by blood, why did his heart still ache?


    With an indifferent expression, Qiao Liangjin wiped the blood off his neck and smiled.


    He turned around and brought the three maids back to the Flower Glow Pavilion.


    As soon as he entered the bedroom, Rulan hurried to the dressing table, rummaged through the cosmetics, and finally found the medicine.


    Carefully applying the powder onto Qiao Liangjin''s neck, she looked at the thin knife''s edge with a bit of heartache: "Miss, what''s the point?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the curled up little fox sleeping on the blanket and softly said, "I like to abuse myself."


    The fox, who was dozing off, smelled the scent of blood in the air. Its ears were sensitive, and it had long since heard the arguments outside.


    Suddenly raising his head, he saw the bandaged wound and his fox eyes narrowed. She... For a fox, he could fight with a knife.


    She was a bit jealous. She denied everything about the Seventh Prince, but was still able to protect a fox with her life. It seemed like it was better to be a fox than a prince.


    "Crash!" The door was heavily pushed open.


    A gale of wind suddenly burst in from outside.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting on an armchair, slightly raised his head and smiled. "Big brother, it''s you."


    A black figure was standing in front of Qiao Liangjin, anxiously inspecting his little sister.


    "What''s wrong with you? Why do you still dare to use a knife to greet me!"


    "It''s fine. It''s good for you to let out blood occasionally. Brother, you don''t know about this." Qiao Liangjin looked at the tower-like man before him with a smile.


    Both had similar faces.


    It was good to have someone so close to him in this foreign world.


    Qiao Ruo Ying patted Qiao Liangjin''s head and sighed. "It''s alright. Big brother will help you when the sky collapses."


    After saying that, he turned around and left the Flowermoney Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the back of Qiao Ruo Ying''s back and waved her hand. "Dai Di, prepare more snacks."


    "Why?"


    "Close the door and think."


    After a while, Qiao Ruo Ying came back dejectedly with a solemn butler following behind her.


    "Miss, Eldest Young Master, the Lord Prime Minister has ordered that the two of you ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and said, "Close up and think about it. How long will it take this time, Butler?"


    The steward was stunned for a moment before he suddenly shook his head and laughed, "My lady is indeed extremely intelligent."


    It was early in the morning in Xuanyuan Royal City. Without Qiao Liangjin''s horn, the citizens were not used to it.


    The people who woke up upon hearing the horn every day were all late. This was a strange news within Xuanyuan Royal City.


    Could it be that the thick and sturdy young miss of the Qiao family was sick?


    It''s not quite possible. Even if the entire city fell ill, it would be impossible for her to fall down.


    Could it be that she was going to be married?


    That was impossible. No one would want such a vulgar young lady from the Prime Minister''s Estate even if they married the entire capital.


    One by one, people began to appear at the gate of the Prime Minister''s Estate. They looked around, hoping to get some information.


    Right at this moment.


    "Fellow villagers, my Jetman from Reddison, everyone must have missed me, right?"


    A fat pink figure suddenly appeared on top of the walls of the Prime Minister''s Residence.


    Hua, she''s here. She''s fine.


    All the commoners in the capital were talking among themselves.


    In a short while, the area beneath the wall was filled with commoners.


    "Everyone, I know that I didn''t wake you up today. I''m guilty, but do you know why I rode on this wall and told you stories?"


    Eyes fixed on the pink figure, all of them shook their heads.


    "Ruo Lan, go and serve everyone some tea." Remember, a bowl of tea cost fifty cents! " The plump hand waved.


    "That day, my little brother. Err, not your man''s little brother, but my little brother ¡­ Sigh, forget it, forget it. "


    Qiao Liangjin vividly told a story as his eyes rolled around. He suddenly realized that he really did have the ability to tell a story.


    Should there be a place for storytelling at the end of the South Bridge? According to a person''s cup of tea and five servings of gold, coupled with the Herbal Tea Eggs and side dishes, the income should also be pretty good.

 C21 June Cold Wind

    Just as Qiao Liangjin was sitting on the wall and vividly narrating what happened yesterday, on the other side, his chastity was forcing his two daughters to kneel in the courtyard.


    Zhen Yuxin looked at her two daughters with some heartache, and scolded with a disappointed expression: "You three are siblings, and you didn''t think to save your little brother!"


    Qiao Yue-er glanced at Qiao Ya. She had never liked this little brother of hers. It was all because of him that he took away all the love from her mother. In the entire Prime Minister Manor, there was no one who didn''t like him.


    Some even said that he would become the successor of the Prime Minister''s Estate in the future.


    Why? They were both the same parents. Only Qiao Liangjin and Joshua could obtain all of his father''s favors.


    Qiao Ya pursed her lips and lowered her head, looking like she was sincerely admitting her mistakes.


    She knew that her brother would not tell her who had pushed him down the rockery.


    Joan of Arc shook her head and let out a long sigh.


    The water lotus hurriedly entered from the outer court. With a frown, it glanced at the two young misses kneeling on the ground and softly said, "Madam, the eldest young miss is climbing up the wall and is talking about yesterday''s matter ¡­. She said... She said that the young master was in trouble because of Third and Fourth Miss. "


    This Qiao Liangjin, was he doing this on purpose?


    I told you not to talk about it.


    Stepping down the steps, passing them without even glancing at her daughters, she was going to drive the Loyal from the wall.


    When Qiao Ya heard the sound of the courtyard door being closed, she heaved a sigh of relief and said to Qiao Yue-er, "Little sister, we have to take care of little brother. That way, he won''t have the opportunity to say it."


    Qiao Yue''er was somewhat puzzled. "Big sister, we hate our little brother. Why are we pretending to take care of him?"


    Qiao Ya lowered her head and sneered. Qiao Yue''er, this pig''s brain, did she still need to ask why? It was to stay in the Prime Minister''s Palace, of course.


    He then cupped his fists towards the crowd below the wall and said, "Everyone, today''s topic is over, tomorrow''s time will continue. As for how long this lady can be grounded, that will depend on how good I, the little demon lord of this world, can be coaxed. Shayan Nala, everyone."


    Before anyone could react, she had already jumped off the wall and landed lightly on the ground. She clapped her hands and smiled, "Today, I collected quite a bit just from the tea money alone. "Let''s go back to our room and rest."


    When Joan of Arc and the Water Lotus reached the wall, there was no one left.


    Joan of Arc looked up at the wall and smiled, "Find someone to put iron tribulations on the wall."


    Qiao Liangjin went back to his room and took off his heavy battle uniform. He was only wearing a goose-yellow shirt as he sat in front of his desk.


    He suddenly thought of something and picked up a goose feather. Then, he started to draw on the xuan paper.


    The little fox, who was napping, curiously looked at the goose feather in Qiao Liangjin''s hand. She had scrawled it down, so why didn''t she use the brush on the pen?


    Out of curiosity, he jumped onto the desk and saw that the goose feather in Qiao Liangjin''s hand could write a few words. However, he could not understand a lot of these words.


    Seeing the little fox''s curious look, Qiao Liangjin put down the goose feather in his hand and laughed: "How is it? What about my invention? I''m not used to using your brushes, so I can only make one for myself. Look at my handwriting. It''s pretty good, isn''t it? It''s grand and majestic, just like my ambition. "


    The little fox held its chest and pretended to vomit.


    However, it made Qiao Liangjin laugh out loud.


    Her smile was like the cool wind of June, light and indifferent. Perhaps she didn''t notice it herself, but it inadvertently revealed the appearance of a little girl, causing the little fox to stare dumbfoundedly at her.


    She actually ¡­ It''s pretty good too.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled his long hair up and tied it behind his head with the silk handkerchief on the table. Then he lazily leaned against the armchair with his eyes closed. It was unknown what he was thinking about.


    The little fox laid on the desk and used its large tail to cover its face. However, its pair of eyes were constantly fixated on her face.


    What was she thinking? Would she tell me?


    Qiao Liangjin smiled with his eyes closed. "Yusheng, you''ve never seen me with such an expression before. Don''t tell me you''re in love with me?"


    The little fox cleared its heart of the shock and immediately closed its eyes. It did not want to look and pretended to sleep, pretending that it did not hear anything.


    Unexpectedly, a pair of hands gently embraced his lithe body and pulled him into their embrace.


    The little fox suddenly felt a little suffocated. Her body had the faint fragrance of crabapple blossoms and her soft female body made him feel a little lustful. Being a fox was actually not a very bad thing.


    "Yusheng, how long do you think I can stay here? "In the end, where did you come from and where did you go back to?" Qiao Liangjin said softly, his hand slowly stroking its smooth fur.


    The little fox raised its head and looked at the girl in front of it with a puzzled expression.


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and stopped talking.


    Perhaps it was because she was tired from the ruckus from the morning, but Qiao Liangjin actually fell asleep while leaning against the teacher''s chair. The sunlight from outside the window just happened to shine on her face.


    The little fox saw her long eyelashes tremble slightly. Her skin was as white as peach blossoms in March.


    He repeated in his clear mind: She''s beautiful.


    The little fox suddenly froze. What was wrong with it? It had been thinking about this phrase repeatedly for the past few days.


    He had seen a lot of famous young ladies in the capital, and he had also seen quite a few of them at such a young age.


    However, there was no one like her. The woman in the fog and outside of the door were completely different people. They were able to miraculously coexist on the body of a woman.


    She snuggled up to Qiao Liangjin''s knees and got ready to sleep.


    Suddenly, a voice called out from Ruo Lan at the door, "Second Miss, Eldest Miss has just fallen asleep. You should come over later."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.


    Caught off guard, the little fox rolled from his knees onto the ground. Its injured hind leg was pressed against the ground as it bared its teeth and growled at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin sniffed the air, as if he saw the little fox rolling on the ground. He said apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot you were here."


    Completely ignored...


    The little fox seemed to have gotten used to her carelessness. It turned around and limped over to the bed. It jumped onto the bed and found a soft spot to lie down.


    While waiting for the little fox to close its eyes and open them, Qiao Liangjin had already put on his obese clothes and pushed open the door.


    Qiao Yin was standing at the door with a bowl of something unknown in her hand.


    Qiao Liangjin''s fat body leaned against the door and loudly said, "I was wondering who it was, it''s actually second sister."


    Qiao Yin pursed her lips slightly. When she saw Qiao Liangjin, her eyes couldn''t hide the contempt she felt.


    But Qiao Liangjin did not mind at all, he pointed to the bowl in her hand and asked: "What is that? A comfort? "


    Qiao Yin suddenly remembered his mother''s warning not to go against Qiao Liangjin. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile to appear on her face. "This is Swallow''s Nest, it was sent from the Eastern Kingdom. My mother told me to bring it to eldest young mistress."


    Qiao Liangjin snorted through his nose: "Which one of us doesn''t know that Qiao Liangjin is a natural beauty with skin that is naturally good? Do we still need these things to make up for it? On the other hand, little sister, you need to find a good person to be your concubine. You need to make up for it. "


    When Qiao Yin heard this, he suddenly raised his head. A pair of venomous eyes seemed to pierce through Qiao Liangjin''s fat figure.


    Even if she was a modern person, she knew that in this era, as long as she was a concubine''s daughter, she would only be able to marry into a concubine in the future and would never become a legal wife.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a sense of admiration for his vicious tongue. He was able to get the other party to make enemies with him with just a few words.


    In any case, it was rather boring in this deep courtyard. It would be a bit more fun if there was an extra enemy.


    That''s right, Qiao Liangjin thought so.


    "Second sister, what are you doing here?" A soft female voice came from the other side of the door.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed again with his nose to the sky. ''Yo, one green tea bitch isn''t enough, another one has come!''


    Qiao Ning was wearing a light purple dress as she stood beside Qiao Yin.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed in his heart. These people were probably here to mock and mock her forbidden foot.


    If she could think of this door, who could stop her?


    It was just that Qiao Zheng had always been good to her and she did not want to make him sad.


    ''Forget it, even if I am forbidden from entering, I can''t stop her from causing trouble in the courtyard, right? ''


    "Cousin, you''re almost eighteen years old. You''re sewing your wedding dress right? But Cousin, you''re already eighteen years old, who would marry you?" Qiao Liangjin was really impressed with his venomous tongue. It could really hit the nail on the head.


    Look, Qiao Ning Zi''s face instantly turned red.


    "Jin''er, little sister ¡­"


    "Don''t worry. When I''m married to the Seventh Prince and Prince Ning, they''ll definitely help tie the strings, especially for you, cousin. No matter what, it shouldn''t be a problem for me to be the secondary wife."


    Qiao Ningzi''s face became redder and redder, as if she was about to drip blood. She originally wanted to come over to watch the show, but who would have thought that she would be poked in the sore spot after not getting anything cheap.


    Qiao Yin was a woman who couldn''t speak very well. She angrily threw the bowl in her hands onto the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head as he looked at the broken bowl on the floor. He snapped his fingers and said, "This bowl is probably worth two taels of silver, the nest of the swallow should be at least one tael of silver. According to the matriarch''s calculations, I don''t think that jade hairpin on your head will be able to be preserved anymore."


    Qiao Yin sucked in a breath of cold air. That''s right, chastity had always been suppressing their silver. This small matter would definitely make things difficult for her mother again.


    Qiao Yin suddenly hated her cowardly mother.


    Seeing that Qiao Yin''s expression was terrible, Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said, "Don''t worry, I won''t tell the matriarch. You should hurry back and pretend you''ve never been here. What do you think?"


    Qiao Yin gritted his teeth as he said, "Thank you, Big Sister, for your teachings." Finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, not even sparing a glance at Qiao Ningzi who was beside him.


    Qiao Liangjin said loudly to Zi Yan, "Remember to tell the First Madam that a white jade bowl in my yard is broken. It was bought for around 500 taels of silver. Remember to ask the account office to send me some more in a few days."


    Hearing this, Qiao Yin staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was supported by the maidservant beside him.


    She gritted her teeth and steadied herself. She glanced at the freckles on Bai Lu''s face, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Let''s go."

 C22 Lethargic Eyebrow

    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Ningzi who was standing at the door with his arms crossed and smiled, "Cousin, I''m currently forbidden from entering and it''s not convenient for me to invite you in for tea, so you ¡­"


    "Sister must be joking. Ning Zi was just passing by and saw Yin''er at the door. If there''s nothing else, Ning Zi will be leaving first." Qiao Ningzi did not want to continue listening to what this fatty had to say.


    In a few words, she had chased away two people who had prevented her from sleeping.


    Qiao Liangjin stretched his back before turning around and entering the house.


    Only Zi Yan looked at the bird''s nest on the floor with a regretful expression. She then called Ah Kuan to clean up the floor.


    On the eighth day of the eighth month, the Left General''s Residence''s chrysanthemum viewing feast.


    Three days ago, when Qiao Liangjin heard about the chrysanthemum viewing feast, he was already laughing to his heart''s content.


    Eating and laughing, bathing and laughing, laughing out loud, writing and laughing, even in dreams.


    The little fox could not understand how a feast of chrysanthemums could make her laugh for three days and three nights.


    Of course, Qiao Liangjin couldn''t tell them that in her era, chrysanthemums represented an organ of the human body.


    But only he knew this. It was so boring, because only he was laughing.


    The little fox blinked its eyes as it looked at Qiao Liangjin who was shaking his shoulders and smiling.


    His eyes were full of questions.


    Could it be that there was something interesting in the General Zuo''s estate that no one else knew about?


    Qiao Liangjin stood in the long corridor, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky. He said in a serious tone, "Little fox, I feel like I know too many things. It''s really painful. "Hahahahaha!"


    When the little fox saw Qiao Liangjin''s smile, he couldn''t help but laugh. He didn''t know why, but he suddenly wanted to know as well. This woman had a kind of magic on her that made it impossible for him to ignore her.


    Qiao Liangjin no longer kept the little fox in the cage. Perhaps it was that day, because of his willfulness, he had been provoked by the fact that he almost caused Joshua to lose his life. Or perhaps it was the scar on Qiao Liangjin''s neck that had made him give up.


    The barbed wire wall did not repel Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin let Kuan and Bai build a shelf in three days, he can climb high.


    After three days of recounting the ''Stories from the Prime Minister''s Estate'' through the wall, Qiao Liangjin finally appeared before everyone.


    The citizens of Xuanyuan Royal City seemed to be accustomed to listening to Qiao Liangjin''s story and the five syllables of his song every day. Every day, they would rush over early to listen to his lecture.


    The entrance of the residence was bustling with activity. The hawkers had blocked the entire passageway.


    Qiao Liangjin stood on a simple shelf, laughed to the sky, pointed to the first rays of sunlight shining from the east and said, "You have a good plan, I''ve climbed a ladder to the wall, and am ten feet tall!"


    When chastity heard Qiao Lianjin''s words, she only lightly smiled.


    Qiao Zheng listened as his daughter stood on the shelf, spitting out all sorts of stories. He apologised to her, "I''m sorry, Yuanxin ¡­"


    "Master, what are you talking about? Jin''er is also my daughter, I don''t mind."


    Qiao Siyuan, who had gradually recovered, was currently squatting on the roof of his courtyard, supporting his chin with his arm. His eyes were filled with worship as he said to his manservant, Little Four, "Hey, Little Four, tell me, how does Big Sis know so much? I''ve never even heard of many of these words before."


    Little Four was also squatting on the roof along with Jose Yuan. He shook his head and said, "Young Master, this servant doesn''t understand Eldest Miss at all."


    Joss knocked on Little Four''s head and shook his head.


    He thought back to that day when he was in the water. Qiao Liangjin was like a god that had landed beside him and pulled him out of the water. At that time, her eyes were so nervous. He felt it.


    Her forehead was swollen and her body was wet. She looked really ugly, but in his heart, his life was hers.


    When his mouth was dry from talking, Qiao Liangjin drank the tea that Dai Di handed him in large gulps. He wiped his lips with his sleeve and waved his hand, saying, "Fellow villagers, tomorrow, grandpa will be able to leave. I, grandpa, will go and attend a chrysanthemum appreciation ceremony tomorrow ¡­" "Pfft, hahahahaha, chrysanthemum appreciation, chrysanthemum appreciation feast ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin laughed wildly for a while, and those infected by the people outside the wall blankly laughed along with her.


    From then on, there was a joke circulating around the entire Xuanyuan Royal City. Whenever the topic of ornamental chrysanthemums was brought up, the gazes of the crowd would grow ambiguous, and they would burst out into laughter.


    Although he didn''t know what this meant, a mysterious smile made people feel good!


    Qiao Liangjin ended the conversation and was about to get off the wooden shelf when he saw a familiar figure. She opened her arms, closed her eyes and jumped down from the shelf.


    With just a twist, Qiao Liangjin landed safely on the ground.


    Opening his eyes, Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were filled with laughter: "Big brother!"


    When the little fox saw Qiao Liangjin jump down from the not too short shelf, it was startled. However, it saw that Qiao Ruo Ying had caught her safely and gently spun around to place her on the ground. At this moment, it was inexplicably dejected.


    He didn''t seem to like the innocent smile she gave another man.


    How could a woman as sly as a fox reveal such a smile to that burly man?


    Qiao Ruo Ying caressed the top of Qiao Liangjin''s head and laughed: "What are you doing? Climbing so high, I could see you from my yard after I finished my training. "


    Qiao Liangjin pointed outside the wall and stuck out his tongue. "I have already become a scenic spot in the Royal City. Every day, they would not listen to what I have to say and would not even have the strength to work."


    Qiao Ruo Ying laughed out loud. She lovingly scratched the tip of Qiao Liangjin''s nose and said: "I''ve seen shameless people before, but I''ve never seen such a shameless person like you."


    The little fox pricked up its ears as it listened to the conversation between the two siblings. Upon hearing these words, he could not agree any longer and immediately nodded his head with a chirping sound.


    Qiao Liangjin, with a fake smile, kicked the little fox away and said, "Big brother, aren''t I the most beautiful woman in the capital?"


    "You must be," Qiao Ruo Ying replied with a resolute tone.


    The little fox rolled three times. Just as it steadied itself, it heard these two sentences and covered its eyes with a claw.


    It really was the two weird siblings.


    The chrysanthemum feast arrived as scheduled.


    Qiao Liangjin had changed into a green dress and jacket. Wrapped in her fat body, she looked even more bloated.


    This time, Qiao Liangjin did not paint that shocking makeup. He only drew a large peach blossom near his teardrop mark.


    His fair skin and a pink peach blossom were somewhat abrupt. From the shadows, it seemed as though he was scalding a scar.


    Qiao Liangjin looked carefully at his attire in front of the mirror, then turned around and asked with a smile, "Yusheng, since I''m so simple and elegant today, do you think they''re not used to me?"


    Su Qing, who had transformed into her human form, nodded. She walked towards the dressing mirror and picked up the eyebrow pencil.


    He carefully drew Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart skipped a beat. Why did this fox seem so different from before? There was a lot of change in his eyes.


    "When you wake up late to comb your hair, your hands are lazy and your eyebrows are green. Once you have put on your makeup, you will get drunk like a wild goose. Who can compete with you for beauty?" He recited a poem that he had previously recited behind his back.


    The cleared hand paused.


    "Such a nice poem. Where did you steal it from?" Su Chen carefully looked at the girl in front of him. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as they were far away. If only her peach blossoms were a little smaller.


    But it was her style, and he wasn''t going to remind her.


    Qiao Liangjin glared at Qing Shui and put down his eyebrow pencil. With a tap of his finger, Qing Shui turned into a snow-white fox again.


    Carrying it in his arms, he ran to the door.


    When she saw Qiao Liangjin carrying the Snow Fox, she slightly frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Qiao Zhiyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin also unceremoniously climbed onto the carriage with Qiao Yifan.


    Putting the fox into Qiao Siyuan''s arms, he pinched his cheek and asked, "Are you all well?"


    As if pinched, Jose Yuan grinned and smiled, pointing to Qiao Liangjin''s hand, indicating that he couldn''t answer her question.


    "Elder sister, I''m done." Qiao Yifan was finally saved by Qiao Liangjin''s devil claws as he eagerly replied.


    "It''s a chrysanthemum feast today, why would you go? Oh, that''s right, this should be a feast for all men. That''s not right, why should I go!" Qiao Liangjin answered his own question.


    Qiao Siyuan had a bitter expression on his face. He was completely unable to understand Qiao Liangjin''s words.


    Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment and sighed. "Well, go and enjoy the chrysanthemums then. Although I don''t like it, I might be able to see a pretty boy. If there''s a pretty girl, just come back."


    Qiao Siyuan suddenly thought of Ning Ying and said, "I heard from my mother that Prince Ning seems to be coming as well."


    Qiao Liangjin had already forgotten about Ning imprint. Hearing Qiao Yifan mention it, he rubbed his nose and frowned. "Why does this name sound so familiar ¡­?" I seem to have heard of it somewhere! "


    The black line at the end of Josephine''s head. Wasn''t this sister a bit too rough?


    When the little fox heard the name Ning Xi, it bit Qiao Liangjin''s finger in dissatisfaction.


    Qiao Liangjin was suddenly bitten. He lowered his head and flicked the tip of the little fox''s nose with his finger. Then, he suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, I remember now. One of your brother-in-law."


    Could it be that her sister really wanted to marry several women? Wow, big sister is too legendary. I will definitely make the world look at me in a new light.


    Qiao Liangjin saw the worshipful look on Qiao Siyuan''s face and patted his head with a smile. "Good girl, Big Sister will teach you many things in the future. Don''t worship me too much!" "This way, I''ll be proud!"


    The little fox rolled his eyes. What a narcissistic person.


    Qiao Liangjin was about to continue with his bragging when he heard Zi Yan''s voice from outside the carriage, "Miss, we''ve arrived at the General''s Estate."


    Qiao Liangjin tidied up his clothes and turned around to smile at Qiao Siyuan who was behind him. He asked, "Elder sister, are you looking good today?"


    "Huh?" Josephine didn''t react in time. He only nodded mechanically.


    Actually, the way she was dressed today was not that shocking. It was much better than the colorful look she had now.

 C23 Who and What

    "Look, look! That pig from the Prime Minister''s Hall is here!"


    "Aiyo, her jump caused the ground to tremble three times."


    "Oh my god! This is the girl! She''s going to be married to Prince Ning of the Southern Kingdom! The flowers are stuck in the cow dung!"


    Qiao Liangjin stood at the door of the General Zuo''s mansion, his slender fingers gently caressing the little fox''s fur in his arms.


    He had long since heard that General Zuo and his father had always been at odds, so the banquet today wouldn''t be that simple.


    As the emperor''s right-hand men, they were more or less restrained by the emperor. Therefore, the conflict between the two of them was not on the surface.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the Left Guard General who was bowing to his father with a fake smile.


    The Left Guard General looked as if he had just seen Qiao Liangjin and asked in a stunned manner, "This is ¡­ Master Prime Minister, you must be very fond of her, right? "


    Qiao Zheng maintained his doting expression as he looked at Qiao Liangjin. He was very satisfied with Qiao Liangjin''s outfit today and nodded with a smile. "Of course."


    Qiao Liangjin, who was standing aside sensibly, only felt lucky for a moment.


    The Left Guard General''s gaze suddenly darkened. This woman didn''t seem like the rumored person.


    Just as he was about to speak ¡­


    "Master, Master ¡­" I missed you so much. " A big red figure was already standing in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    At this very moment, the Prince was lying in Qiao Liangjin''s arms like a pet.


    Silence.


    The whole scene was very quiet.


    The noblewomen who were about to alight from their carriages also stopped in their tracks.


    Everyone''s mouth was wide open.


    They had long since heard that Prince Su Qing had been poisoned by the gold, but they only thought it was a rumor around the alleyway. He had seen it with his own eyes! But! Afraid! It was done!


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t seem to be surprised at all. He released his hand and rubbed his forehead as he smiled and said: "Good boy, there are so many people here, and you look like a prince. Do you hear me?"


    Everyone''s gaze shifted from Qiao Liangjin to Su Qing.


    He didn''t expect that he would shake his head and act like a spoiled child, "No no no, I want to hug you, I want to kiss you, I want to hold you high."


    Puff ¡­


    The group of people spat out blood.


    Qiao Zheng and General Zuo Wei coughed with all their might.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were twitching...


    Kiss... Hugging... Raise high?


    Raise high? What the hell was going on?


    F * ck, he''s a 1.8m tall man, yet I want to raise him up high? She really didn''t mind being able to send him flying with a single punch.


    "Your Highness!" At that moment, Hong Liang hurriedly walked to the side of Su Qian and gently pulled his sleeve.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and said, "You b * tch."


    The little fox kept wailing in his heart. It had been more than 20 years since he had last seen this little fox, and its image had been completely destroyed by this little fox.


    Hong Liang looked at the expression of Qiao Liangjin, who refused to leave, and rolled his eyes. He then whispered a few words into Qiao Liangjin''s ear.


    Qing Qing pouted as she felt wronged. She looked at Qiao Liangjin hesitantly a few times, then nodded at the Left Guard General and walked into the mansion step by step.


    Only then did everyone start to move. Those who dismounted coughed and wiped the blood from their noses.


    Qiao Liangjin followed Qiao Zheng into the mansion as if nothing had happened.


    The chrysanthemum feast was divided into two stages, one for the male guests and the other for the female guests.


    The reception was in the back garden.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the colorful woman in front of him and smelled the fragrance of her makeup. Suddenly, he remembered that he had once watched "A Sincerity Bestowal". Everyone was dressed well and was waiting for his future mother-in-law to pick them out.


    The little fox didn''t seem to be used to the thick scent of makeup as it kept sneezing in Qiao Liangjin''s arms.


    Qiao Ya followed behind Qiao Liangjin, and when she heard the little fox sneeze, she whispered, "Big sister brought along an animal at such an occasion ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks and turned around. He gave Qiao Ya a cold look and said, "I didn''t even mind bringing you along."


    Qiao Ya was choked and she rolled her eyes.


    Joan of Arc didn''t hear Qiao Liangjin and Qiao Ya''s words clearly, she only turned her head to look at the two of them.


    "Isn''t this Miss Qiao? Aiya, this fox is alive!" "What a beautiful fox skin. Should I skin it to make it into a scarf after it has been raised?" A lady in plain clothes walked over with an embroidered golden round fan in her hand.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows. Oh, so someone had already declared war on her? Who was this person? Do we know each other?


    "Who are you? Do we know each other? "Sigh, I think your skin is pretty good too. How about I peel it off now to make a human skin mask?" Qiao Liangjin immediately replied with a sharp mouth.


    "You ¡­" The plain-clothed woman stopped fanning herself.


    "What a fool. It''s already the eighth month, and he still uses a fan. Such an enchanting woman. Let me tell you, I can fight ten against one!"


    When Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er heard that Qiao Liangjin was currently conversing with the daughter of a Prefecture Overseer in the capital, they immediately retreated far away.


    They really did not want others to know that the fat woman was their elder sister.


    Hearing her words, the fox in her embrace narrowed its eyes and smiled.


    Fortunately, he was only a fox now, so no one could see that he was smiling.


    "What a vulgar woman." The girl in plain clothes could not win against Qiao Liangjin. She flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.


    "Let me tell you, my official will be here soon, don''t think you''re luring her with those white clothes. Oh right, don''t pour wine and water on her by accident, don''t twist your feet, and fall into her arms by accident."


    The girl''s body trembled and she turned her head around. Her eyes were like daggers as they stabbed Qiao Liangjin''s face.


    Qiao Liangjin shrugged his shoulders out of habit and revealed a smile that said he had gotten away with it.


    Leaning against the teacher''s chair, Qiao Liangjin was sitting with his legs crossed. He was touching the fox fur with one hand and his nose with the other.


    The aroma was too strong. Her nose couldn''t take it anymore, and she kept rubbing the tip of her nose.


    The little fox cleared his nose continuously at Qiao Liangjin''s "Achoo Achoo".


    Qiao Liangjin frowned. Why did this little fox have the same problem as him? Why didn''t I realize it''s like this before?


    The crowd of Shangguan girls walked past Qiao Liangjin with cold and mocking looks on their faces.


    Qiao Liangjin felt a little depressed. He picked his nose and dug for a long time. After digging out an unknown object, he flicked his finger and the scream of an official could be heard.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at his prank with satisfaction and laughed out loud. The fat all over his body was shaking as well.


    Originally, he had a whole new level of respect for Qiao Liangjin, but at this moment, he felt uncomfortable. After all, this joke was rather vulgar.


    He raised his head and stared at Qiao Liangjin''s face.


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at the little fox in his arms and grinned, "Yo, what kind of expression is that? Is it time for you to be in heat?"


    When she heard this, she almost fell off her knees.


    The way this woman thought, was truly not the way a normal person thought.


    He protested and gently bit on the back of Qiao Liangjin''s exposed hand.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and whispered, "I''m not that disgusted, that''s just a small ball of mud I pinched from a flower pot before I left."


    After saying so, Qiao Liangjin was stunned for a moment. Strange, why should he explain his actions to a fox?


    The servant girl brought him a cup of tea. Qiao Liangjin smelled that it was his favorite Jin Xianmei, so he picked up the cup and gulped it down.


    Looking at the stage opposite the lotus pond, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt his vision become blurry.


    She rubbed her eyes, sure enough, her vision began to blur. Damn it, it seems like someone just poisoned the tea.


    Her mind searched with all her might, and she finally thought of a colorless and tasteless medicine, the Green Jade Tree.


    Huh, I really don''t know who this General Zuo was that praised her so highly and poisoned her teacup. She closed her eyes to think about it, she needed to go to the kitchen to find green bean soup now.


    She stood up and whispered, "Little fox, if Lan and Zi Yan were waiting for us at the door, we would have a problem. I''m temporarily blind. I need green bean water."


    Su Bai raised his head in surprise. Seeing that Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were glazed over, he knew that she was not joking. He called out softly.


    Qiao Liangjin steadied his mind and slowly walked to the door according to his memory. She needed to find a place where the little fox could transform into a human. Only then would she be able to find the green bean soup.


    "Big Miss Qiao, where are you going?" A clear and melodious voice came from behind Qiao Liangjin.


    The little fox frowned. Wasn''t that Princess Yu Linglong''s voice?


    Qiao Liangjin searched his mind for the owner of this voice. No, he had never heard of it before, but her tone was full of ill intent.


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks and did not turn around. "Miss, I want to shit, are you going?"


    "What a vulgar woman. Princess, please ignore her."


    "So disgusting!"


    Princess? Qiao Liangjin closed her eyes. She really did not remember that she had a past with a princess.


    There were more and more people behind him.


    Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath, turned around and looked towards the source of the sound.


    "You don''t eat or drink water? Did you grow up drinking wind? This grandpa is a human, I have to piss and poop whenever I eat. What''s wrong, why would I even bother about other people''s pooping and farting? "


    They were actually unable to refute his reasoning.


    Yu Linglong looked at Qiao Lianjin from top to bottom and stared at her eyes. She did not believe that her poison was ineffective.


    The little fox climbed onto Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder and looked at her with hostility. Although he didn''t know what had happened, he could feel the deep hostility coming from her.


    Yu Linglong waved her hand and a servant girl walked over.


    Yu Linglong, whose face was as white as jade, suddenly revealed a smile. "Miss Qiao is right. However, the General Zuo''s estate is very big. I''ll decide for myself and let this servant take you, how about it?"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his hand and tilted his head as if he was looking at the fox on his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I don''t like people watching me go to the toilet. I''ll go myself, I can''t hold it in any longer, I''ll be more convenient here. "


    He looked like he was about to take off his underpants.

 C24 Escape Poisoning

    The group of ladies covered their eyes in shock.


    Yu Linglong didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to be so shameless as to be so shameless. She also thought that Qiao Liangjin was going to be rude on the spot, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Miss Qiao, you can look for yourself."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he turned around, tidying up his clothes and muttered: "Seriously, you really want me to pull off my face so that I can talk."


    Fortunately, she could vaguely see the road. The sky was getting darker, and Qiao Liangjin''s heart was getting colder and colder. She had to reach the kitchen before the sky turned dark.


    Walking out of the back garden, Qiao Liangjin vaguely saw a moon gate on the left, so he walked over and the little fox lightly licked her ear.


    The goosebumps on Qiao Liangjin''s back started to rise. Feeling vexed, he pulled the fox down and tapped its forehead.


    After clearing up and changing into the appearance of a little boy, Qiao Liangjin took out a set of silk clothes from behind his waist and threw it to him. He said: "Quickly find me some mung bean soup, I''ll be waiting here for you."


    Su Bai looked at Qiao Liangjin''s dazed eyes and asked: "Can you do it by yourself? Is green bean soup enough? "


    Qiao Liangjin smirked, "Idiot fox, in this world, not all poisons need to do everything possible to find the antidote. "Trust me, go ahead."


    With that, he made a threatening gesture with his hands and pushed away the silence in front of him.


    Su Qingyun walked out of the room with worry. He still remembered the sinister look in Yu Ling''s eyes just now. Now that she was here, he really didn''t feel at ease.


    But what could such a small body do? He had to find the kitchen as fast as he could.


    As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Yu Linglong''s figure standing by the door.


    "Princess." Su Qian lowered his head, bowed, and slowly stepped back.


    Yu Linglong didn''t even look at him as she hurried past him.


    Su Qing heard her say, "Tie her up and throw her in the pavilion. Let everyone see a pig smiling."


    She turned her head abruptly and looked at Yu Linglong''s back with a pair of ice-cold eyes.


    At this time, it was not the time to be emotional. Su Ming took a deep breath and ran towards the resting area by the door.


    He ran into the resting room and looked around. When he saw Bai, he greeted, "Bai, Bai!"


    "Little fox, why are you here?" Muse heard the little fox''s voice and saw it transform into its human form. She suddenly felt uneasy.


    "Matte, bring Bai to save the lady, I''m going to find green bean soup." Su Qingqing pulled the two of them and pointed to Qiao Liangjin''s location. Then, she hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.


    The innocent and innocent look of a child made all the servants in the House of the Left think that he was a young master from some family that had brought him here, guiding him along the way.


    His short legs kept moving faster and faster as he kept saying in his heart, "Hold on, don''t let anything happen to you, don''t let anything happen to me."


    After finding the kitchen, Qing Shui used his innocent and adorable appearance. He then happily filled a gourd with green bean soup and ran towards Qiao Liangjin''s location.


    Qiao Liangjin leaned against the wall and slowly sat down. She kept recalling the princess who had just spoken, thinking over and over again about her words.


    It seemed that she held a very high position in the chrysanthemum viewing feast, so much so that when she spoke, no one came to stop her.


    As the sky darkened, Qiao Liangjin''s eyes could no longer see the sky clearly.


    "Miss Qiao." The delicate voice came over.


    "Princess, what a coincidence." Qiao Liangjin did not stand up. Instead, he leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.


    Yu Linglong walked to a place about five steps away from Qiao Liangjin and asked with some concern, "Miss Qiao, what''s wrong? Was his stomach feeling uncomfortable? Didn''t he say that he was going to be disrespectful? Why was he sitting here? Would you like my maidservant to take you there? "


    "I don''t want to go, thank you, Princess."


    Qiao Liangjin listened to Yu Linglong''s voice and could tell how far away she was from him. She had never been one to wait and see.


    Even if she died, she would find someone to carry it for her.


    Yu Linglong burst into laughter.


    "You ate my ass, haha, what are you laughing at." Qiao Liangjin said unhappily.


    Yu Linglong had never heard of such a vulgar flower. Her face turned red as she pointed her index finger at Qiao Liangjin, "You!"


    "I can''t see, but please don''t point that finger of yours at me. If I''m unhappy and accidentally break that adorable finger of yours, that would truly be too embarrassing."


    Yu Linglong''s finger suddenly retracted its sleeve, suddenly thinking that her eyes could no longer be seen, she sneered.


    "I was almost scared by you, what can you do now that you can''t see?"


    Qiao Liangjin slowly stood up while holding on to the wall. He stood quietly in the dark courtyard.


    A gentle breeze blew past. Qiao Liangjin''s black hair slightly fluttered in the wind. His green skirt slightly bloomed, like the ripples in a pond.


    Yu Linglong suddenly felt that this fat woman was not as vulgar as everyone thought.


    With a cold glint in his eyes, he waved his hand.


    Two attendants behind him walked towards Qiao Liangjin.


    Before Yu Linglong could see what was happening, the two servants were already quietly lying on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and spoke with a cold and elegant voice, "Princess, do we have a grudge? Could it be that I stole your man? "


    Having her thoughts captured by Qiao Liangjin, Yu Linglong, who was in the darkness, blushed and then shouted angrily: "Qiao Liangjin, what did you do?"


    Qiao Liangjin spread out his hands and a smile like a flower bloomed on his face. The peach blossom in his left eye suddenly swayed.


    "Princess, what do you think I can do? What a pity that you only brought two attendants with you. Actually, I can still take a few more, do you believe that? "


    Yu Linglong slowly retreated. No one had told her that this fat woman in front of her was a dangerous person.


    It was rumored that she was a lovestruck woman who had no talent, no sense of virtue, and no appearance.


    But today, she was actually a bit afraid to face her alone.


    Yu Linglong clenched her teeth, and took out a small knife from her sleeve.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Princess, what do you think that dagger of yours can do?"


    Yu Linglong bit her lips and kept silent.


    Qiao Liangjin''s aura enveloped the entire yard, the wind blew silently between the two of them.


    Yu Ling''s hand trembled slightly. It was not that she had never killed before, but she had also personally cut off a servant girl''s finger because her finger was so beautiful.


    Qiao Liangjin gave a slight yawn and smiled, "Princess, quickly make your move. My servant has already arrived at the door."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Pai Di''s voice rang out, "Miss, Miss, are you inside?"


    Yu Linglong turned around and hid the dagger in her sleeve.


    Opening the door, his face was filled with anxiety, "Those two people are preparing to kidnap your family''s young lady, but they have already fainted. Quickly go and have a look at your family''s young lady."


    Heh, this woman really knows how to act. Originally, she was the one who was going to kill people, but now, in the blink of an eye, she had become the one who was saving others.


    Qiao Liangjin''s interest was suddenly piqued, and he nodded and said, "Oh, Muse, did you come with Bai? This really scared me to death. These two people covet my beauty and want to molest me ¡­ "Sob, sob, sob, sob ¡­"


    Yu Ling''s body stiffened. This Qiao Liangjin could really do it.


    Dai Di had already arrived in front of Qiao Liangjin. She held her by the arm and asked softly, "Miss, you ¡­"


    "Coming, coming. I''m back." Qing Qing came back with a gourd.


    After knocking Yu Ling away, she did not expect that she would be caught off guard and the dagger in her sleeve fell to the ground.


    Qing stopped, looked at the dagger on the ground, then looked at the gloomy Yu Linglong, he instantly understood what was going on.


    "Yuesheng, you''re really careless. Hurry up and pick up the princess'' toothpick and return it to her." Qiao Liangjin hurriedly called out.


    Teeth Picking... Your family uses a dagger to pick their teeth!


    Yu Linglong rolled her eyes.


    Qing Qing nodded her head and picked up the dagger on the ground. She handed it to Yu Linglong and said softly, "Princess Yu Linglong, please keep your things."


    In the darkness, Yu Linglong saw the child in front of her, her eyes as cold as snow. It actually made her feel as if she was having goosebumps.


    "So it''s Princess Yu Linglong. These two servants, I''ll just gift them to the justice courts, what do you think? " Qiao Liangjin kicked the servant who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.


    Yu Linglong gave a slight smile, drew back her chin and said, "Of course."


    Without even looking at the two attendants on the ground, he turned around and left the small courtyard.


    Su Chen handed the gourd to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin shook the gourd in his hand and laughed, "Little fox, why did you take so much? I said we only need one cup."


    Su Chen shook his head, his voice young yet firm. "I''m afraid it won''t be enough."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled, raised his head and poured the green bean soup from the gourd into his mouth.


    Under the light green night sky, the green-clothed Qiao Liangjin raised his head to drink the soup from the gourd, just like a painting of a beautiful woman in ink.


    It was deeply engraved in his clear memories.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly realized that this action of his seemed to be that of Lin Qingxia drinking wine from "Undefeated East".


    She wiped the corner of her mouth and smiled. "Do you think that I am very confident and look good like this?"


    "When will you see it?" He did not intend to answer her question.


    Pai Di held Qiao Liangjin''s arm and said softly, "Miss, let''s go back first."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and let Pai Dai help him towards the door.


    At the door, he asked Bai to tell the prime minister that he would be leaving first and got into the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin crossed her legs and lightly circulated the inner strength within her body. Her vision had already recovered slightly. She would probably sleep for a bit and then be half better by tomorrow.


    At this moment, Qing Shui quietly sat to the side.


    She knows martial arts? She can even circulate her cultivation?


    From the looks of it, her internal energy was not bad.


    How many secrets did she have?


    "Little fox, it''s your turn to speak." Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath and said softly.


    "Ah?" What did you say? " Su Chen was somewhat at a loss.


    "How do you know she''s Princess Yu Linglong? You''re just a fox. " Qiao Liangjin''s eyelids slightly lifted as his long eyelashes trembled.


    "Oh, I heard it when I was looking for a kitchen on the way." Su Qing quietly stuck out her tongue.

 C25 Late Night Visits

    "Alright, for now, I''ll believe you. But thank you. " Qiao Liangjin gently raised his hand.


    She looked at Qiao Liangjin with a puzzled expression. What was she doing? Why did she raise her hand!?


    "Are you a pig or a fox? I told you to come over, I want to scratch your belly. " Qiao Liangjin cursed softly.


    In an instant, his clear cheeks flushed all the way to his ears. He wasn''t the fox called Yu Sheng. He didn''t want to scratch his belly.


    General Zuo''s estate.


    When Ning Ying heard the voices of the cicadas not too far away, she became a little curious as to what that unusual Qiao Liangjin would do.


    Seeing Qiao Zheng drinking with someone else, he walked over.


    Qiao Zheng raised his head to look at Ning Ying walking towards him and hurriedly stood up. He was about to bow but was stopped by Ning Ying.


    "Master, you are being too courteous."


    "Prince Ning, this is a rule."


    "This king only wants to know if Miss Qiao is also in the General''s Estate?"


    Qiao Zheng did not expect Ning Ying to ask this question and his face darkened. Although he said that he would allow Qiao Liangjin to marry the prince in front of him, she had yet to confirm his suspicions.


    "My daughter is in the garden over there." Qiao Zheng answered truthfully.


    "I wonder if it''s possible to meet Miss Qiao?" Ning Ying looked at Qiao Zheng with sincerity.


    This, this, how to answer?


    His daughter was too unique. Would she scare away this future son-in-law?


    See you? Or not? Qiao Zheng almost sat on the floor and pulled his hair out.


    Ning Ying seemed to be able to tell that Qiao Zheng was in a tough spot. He had long since heard that Qiao Zheng was the only one who favored his daughter. It seemed like this was true.


    Ning Xi waved his hand and smiled. "I won''t make things difficult for the prime minister."


    Just as he was about to leave, he saw a servant who walked up to Qiao Zheng''s side and whispered a few words into his ear.


    Ning Ying looked at his lips and said, "Miss, something has happened, so I''ll head back first."


    Ning Xi felt that there would be something to do tonight.


    After returning to the Flower Luck Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin changed into a new set of clothes and laid on the bed. He used the blanket to cover half of his face, revealing only his eyes as he looked at the ceiling in a daze.


    After clearing up, she walked over to Qiao Liangjin''s bed and asked awkwardly, "I ¡­" Where should I sleep? "


    "If you don''t sleep in my bed, where else would you like to sleep?"


    "Men and women ¡­"


    "Bullsh * t. You''re just a little kid, it''s impossible for a man and woman to understand."


    After saying that, Qiao Liangjin pointed his index finger at the top of his head.


    A snow-white fox fell to the ground.


    As if relieved, the little fox jumped onto the bed and laid down beside Qiao Liangjin''s pillow.


    With the help of the yellow candle flame, he looked at Qiao Liangjin who had already cleaned up his face.


    When he thought of how he ran like the wind today, he was really worried that someone would hurt her.


    Although he now knew that the number of people who could hurt her was almost zero, he was still worried.


    It was hard to explain why he was worried and afraid. This kind of feeling had almost never happened before.


    He had been too soft-hearted as a fox.


    Thinking of how he had used her earlobes today, the fox face that had been cleared suddenly turned hot.


    It approached Qiao Liangjin tentatively and licked her earlobes with the tip of its small tongue.


    Qiao Liangjin touched his ear and mumbled: "Sleep, stop messing around, it''s really itchy like this, you know?"


    However, she secretly rejoiced in her heart. She was like a fox ¡­ Good.


    The window squeaked open.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He pulled up the blanket slightly. He put his hand under the pillow.


    This was her habit. Whenever she slept, she would press the dagger under her pillow.


    The little fox also heard the commotion and opened its eyes. Its jade green eyes shone brightly in the darkness.


    Seeing the person who entered, the little fox thought that it was mistaken.


    Ning Xian Seal? What was this bastard doing here?


    Ning Ying walked over to the bed and looked down at Qiao Liangjin, who was lying on it with his eyes closed.


    He whispered, "It looks like nothing happened. I thought I was ambushed and injured in the general''s mansion."


    Suddenly, he exclaimed again.


    He grabbed the little fox.


    [It''s fine if you barge into my room, but you actually dare to arrest me!]


    Four claws were scratching at the air, trying to make a blemish on that face that was comparable to his own.


    When he thought that Qiao Liangjin might marry him, he felt even more unhappy.


    A streak of cold light, and with a "hualala" sound, Ning Ying''s sleeve was cut open.


    Unknowingly, Qiao Liangjin had already sat up. In the darkness, his right hand held a dagger as he listened attentively.


    "You have a contracted animal? You''re poisoned." Ning Ying looked at his sleeves without the slightest hesitation.


    "Who are you?" Qiao Liangjin''s eyes slightly twitched.


    "Ning Ying." Ning Xi did not seem to plan to hide her name.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed inwardly, "So it''s Prince Ning. What business do you have with my room?" "Could it be that you want to force me to marry you by cooking raw rice?"


    Ning Xi lightly released the fox in her hand, picked up a stool, and sat not far from Qiao Liangjin. She smiled and said, "If you think I''m suitable, I don''t mind going to the bridal room earlier."


    When she heard this, she ran over and fiercely bit into Ning Xi''s boot. "You don''t mind, I do!"


    Ning Ying couldn''t feel any pain at all, so he casually grabbed the little fox and threw it on the bed.


    Ning Xi threw skillfully, but she didn''t make it too painful for him. He turned around and sat in Qiao Liangjin''s arms.


    "Miss Qiao, you''ve been poisoned."


    "I know."


    "Do you need my help?"


    Qiao Liangjin laughed silently. He was lying on his back lazily.


    The figure that was not obese was somewhat flirtatious.


    Ning Ying''s gaze sized her up.


    Why did she pretend to be fat?


    It seemed like this question wasn''t something that a person wanted to know.


    "Prince Ning, it''s already deep into the night. This poison isn''t fierce, I can cure it myself. I''m a bit tired today and don''t want to favor anyone anymore. Can I trouble you to come another day?" Qiao Liangjin ordered for the guests to leave.


    Ning Xi laughed lightly and shamelessly asked, "Then Miss Qiao, may I ask which day will be more convenient for you?"


    "About three to five to seven days later ¡­"


    Ning Xi raised her eyebrows. "Oh ¡­?"


    "Perhaps in three or five or seven years."


    The little fox had originally been somewhat angry at this woman for being so shameless.


    Upon hearing the latter half of the sentence, she immediately knew that she had fallen into his trap.


    Ning Xi didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to reply like this.


    He couldn''t help but laugh out loud. Interesting, what an interesting woman.


    It was more interesting than that Yu Linglong.


    Ning Ying took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He cupped his hands and said, "Miss Qiao, rest well first. I will come again another day to visit. Leave it for Miss to use for self-defense. "


    And with that, he left through the window.


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes. Wow, it seems like this Ning Xi''s kung fu is quite good.


    It was just that his eyes weren''t too good, and he couldn''t see her clearly. Otherwise, he would have to take a good look at this beautiful man who had the same reputation as her.


    Qiao Liangjin poked the little fox in his embrace and asked, "Is he good-looking?"


    After hearing this question, he knew that her infatuation was acting up again. He ignored her and jumped out of her embrace, lying beside her pillow.


    Qiao Liangjin could feel that he was despised by the little fox. He rubbed his nose and laughed dryly: "Ai, if it wasn''t for my bad eyesight, I would have pushed him down today."


    She suddenly felt that she should throw away all her previous feelings. She was still her, still that lustful woman.


    The sun had just risen and Qiao Liangjin still had not woken up when he heard the purple smoke calling to him.


    Opening her eyes, she vaguely saw Zi Yan''s figure. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you calling me so early?"


    "The Prime Minister is at the door. He wants to know what happened to you yesterday."


    "Just say that I had a stomachache yesterday and I''m fine now. I still need to sleep. Today, I don''t want to go out, and I don''t want to go to school. I''ll tell everyone that I''m taking a leave of absence today. "


    Zi Yan nodded and left.


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up slightly as he thought about how this cheap old man of his had treated him so well.


    It was noon when Qiao Liangjin woke up.


    While brushing her teeth with the pig mane and salt that she had made, she was listening to her big brother giving books on the stage instead of herself. She couldn''t help but giggle.


    As soon as she had put on her coat, she burst in.


    Pulling Qiao Liangjin in front of him, he sized her up and asked nervously: "What happened yesterday? Did that b * tch Yu Linglong get poisoned? "


    Qiao Liangjin forced a smile as he held his forehead. This big brother really did not have any pressure to learn his language. He even spoke the language of a little bitch.


    "Brother, I will take care of this matter myself." Brother, I will take care of this matter. To march and fight is not something that can be done just by courage alone. "


    "So sister heard about it too." Qiao Ruoyin thoughtfully said.


    "Heard what?" Qiao Liangjin asked.


    "Daddy wants me to go to the barracks."


    "Oh, that''s normal. You are a male member of the family, so you have to do some good. However, big brother, your thoughts are simple. I am truly worried that you will be used by others. " Qiao Liangjin asked worriedly.


    "I lost a bowl of scars on my head. As for you, sister, how are you right now?"


    "I''m fine. I should be fine in three days. I can vaguely see your appearance. Oh right, what story did you tell me today?"


    As soon as Qiao Ruo Ying thought of the story she told today, she beamed with joy and narrated the story she told.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and smiled at Qiao Ruo Ying.


    This was probably what she wanted the most.


    She wanted him to talk, she wanted him to laugh.


    Family love is perhaps the least treacherous thing in this world.


    Su Qingqing squatted to the side and looked at Qiao Liangjin''s warm and clean smile.


    Perhaps, it was only in front of her brother that she would be this unprepared.


    If one day she could smile like that in front of him, how wonderful it would be!


    Late at night.


    Someone else gently pushed at the window.


    Su Bai stood up and walked to the window.


    He turned his head and glanced at the sleeping Qiao Liangjin, then flipped out of the window.


    Ning Ying stood in the long corridor with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at the bright moon.

 C26 Replacing Oneself

    "I''ll give you a pot of wine and Soul Tea. There will be a day when you''ll thank me." Ning Xian placed a jade gourd on the long corridor and disappeared.


    After clearing the area with his tail, Ji Hao lightly walked up to the jade bottle gourd, used his claws to open the bottle gourd''s mouth and took a sniff.


    The smell of fresh grass assaulted his nostrils. He suddenly felt dizzy.


    He entered the bedroom with the jade gourd in his mouth and hid it under the bed. He could barely hold on to his sleepiness.


    It had been a long time since a fox had slept like this.


    Su Bai slept for a long time, as if he had slept for three days and three nights.


    He leisurely opened his eyes, and the image of Hong Liang''s face was imprinted into his eyes.


    Why was it Hong Liang?


    "Seventh Prince, it''s time to go to court. Hurry up and get up."


    Su Bai quickly stood up and checked his body. He was no longer a fox, he was no longer a fox! He finally returned to his body.


    However, an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.


    It should have been something joyful, but why was he so disappointed?


    "Prince?" Red reminded him sincerely.


    "Change." Su Qing sighed slightly.


    Every time, he would appear at the door in a strange way, but Qiao Liangjin, who had been accompanying him all this time, did not appear.


    He knew that she had been poisoned and that her eyes were not too good. However, when the figure that pestered him everyday did not appear, there was a dejected look in his eyes.


    When he saw Qiao Zheng at the entrance, his clean footsteps quickened as he walked over to Qiao Zheng''s side.


    Qiao Zheng was a little surprised that the usually cold Seventh Prince was actually smiling at him today. He almost thought that he had not tidied up his clothes when he went out in the morning.


    "Prime Minister Qiao." Su Qingqing cupped her hands together.


    Qiao Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, his heart was no longer as shocked as it was before. These days, the strange Seventh Marquis seemed to have disappeared again.


    For a period of time, he saw that Su Hao was covered in cold sweat. Every time he saw Su Hao, he would pester him to bring Qiao Liangjin home. He had to do everything possible to deal with him.


    Right now, a courteous Seventh Marquis, who had clear and bright eyes, was standing next to him. It seemed like he was no longer the same person as a few days ago.


    "Seventh Prince, you''re too polite. This humble subject can''t afford it." Qiao Zheng maintained his composure and put some distance between them.


    How could they, who were so clever, not have noticed Qiao Zheng''s actions?


    He awkwardly coughed twice and smiled, "Prime Minister Qiao, after you."


    Originally, he wanted to ask Qiao Liangjin about his situation, but there were too many people and it was not appropriate. He could only swallow his greetings.


    The morning assembly had ended and they were once again unconsciously closing in on Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng, on the other hand, had a cautious look on his face as if waiting for him to speak before rejecting him.


    Su Qing touched the tip of his nose and suddenly self-deprecatingly grinned. Since when did he learn this small action of hers?


    Just as he arrived at the palace gates, a yellow-clothed eunuch hurriedly ran over and stopped him in his tracks.


    "Seventh Prince, His Majesty invites you in."


    Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head and cupped her hands towards Qiao Zheng before following the young eunuch out.


    Qiao Zheng looked at the clean back and shook his head. "There are so many weirdos this year."


    Within the imperial study.


    Emperor Su Shun had already changed out of his dragon robe and laid out the chessboard.


    Seeing Su Chen come in, he waved his hand.


    Su Chen did not say anything. He sat opposite Su Shun.


    "Linglong Game?" He cleared his throat and looked at the chessboard carefully.


    Su Shun nodded. Time didn''t seem to have left any mark on this man''s face. Although he was 16 years older than Su Ming, the two of them looked no older than 5 or 6 years old as they sat face to face.


    Huaixin, his personal eunuch, brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Su Chen. He then quietly left the room.


    Su Shun picked up the white jade flag and gently placed it on the board. "Qing Er, you are already at the age of marriage. Looking at the board game today, I''m sure you understand my feelings, right?"


    Su Ling then placed the black agate chess piece in front of Bai Yu as if she did not hear anything. She did not say anything and just made a "please" gesture.


    Su Shun knocked on the door. He looked serious and sighed. He knew that the other party was rejecting him, so he could only give up.


    After finishing his game of chess, he cleared his body and bowed. It seemed that he was unwilling to say even a single superfluous word.


    Su Shun stopped Su Qing and laughed, "What, big brother said you have to live your entire life and you want to resist like this? You want to leave the palace? Not going to see Mother? "


    Su Bai then looked up and smiled. "Ok."


    Words are like gold.


    Just as they arrived at the empress dowager''s Wan Yan Palace, they heard the sound of a zither being played from within the sleeping quarters.


    Su Qingqing frowned and was about to turn around and leave when she heard the messenger eunuch from Wan Yan Palace open the door.


    In a dilemma, he could only lift his leg and enter the sleeping quarters.


    Right now, the empress dowager was leaning against the beauty couch as two palace maids massaged her calf.


    He was about to kneel down and pay his respects when the empress dowager waved him over with a smile. "Forget it, whatever bow you make, you rarely come to the palace to accompany This Dowager."


    She cleared her throat with an apologetic smile and sat down by the empress dowager''s side. He gently hammered her calf and said with a smile, "Imperial Mother is blaming me for this."


    "Look at Linglong, this child. She is very considerate, and would even accompany me when she has nothing else to do. "But that damned girl Jin''er, I haven''t seen her for almost three months. How is it? Is she still chasing you like that?"


    The empress dowager had an excited expression, but thought of the woman who blew a kiss in front of everyone and despised her behind her back.


    The corner of his lips curled up, "Muhou, if there''s a chance, I will definitely inform Jin`er."


    Whoosh. The zither string, which was originally fine, suddenly snapped.


    Yu Ling cried out in alarm and gripped her fingers.


    Clearing his eyes, he saw that Yu Linglong''s fingers had been cut by a broken string. A few drops of blood dripped onto the white marble floor. He frowned slightly.


    There was no one in Xuanyuan Empire who did not know that Su Qing Qing was a clean freak.


    As soon as the empress dowager saw Qing Feng''s expression change, she waved her hand and had Yu Linglong quickly wrapped up in bandages. One of the palace maids supported Yu Linglong out of Wan Yan Palace while the other quickly used water to wipe away the blood on the ground.


    He thought of that evening, the sinister Yu Linglong''s face, as if the air here was filled with the smell of her dirty blood.


    She had originally wanted to stay by the empress dowager''s side for a meal, but now she no longer had any interest in doing so.


    The empress dowager persuaded him to stay for a while. Seeing that his mood wasn''t too good because of Yu Linglong, she knew his obsession with cleanliness. She didn''t stop him and asked the palace maid to send him out.


    When they were almost to the entrance of the palace, Su Qing heard a voice that sounded like an oriole behind them. "Seventh Prince."


    Su Ming frowned and turned around. He did not reply.


    Yu Linglong rushed to the front of Su Qingqing, drenched in sweat. If it was any other man, he would have long supported her.


    However, the man in front of her seemed to somewhat dislike her.


    Yu Linglong was stunned. She thought about what she had done in her mind. No matter what she had done, it was watertight, so how could she clear her expression?


    "Seventh Prince, I''m sorry." Yu Linglong carefully raised her injured finger and saluted.


    He wanted to use this method to gain attention.


    Su Ming''s brow was still furrowed as he nodded. He then turned around and quickly left.


    Leaving Yu Linglong to stand awkwardly at the palace door.


    The servant girl, Ru Xue, supported Yu Linglong. She gazed at the receding figure and softly said, "Princess, let''s go."


    Yu Linglong did not even think before slapping him and said bitterly, "Do I need you to tell me?" With that, he raised his head and strode towards the entrance of the palace.


    Lu Li sat in the carriage, listening to the guard outside the window reporting what had happened.


    He gently caressed the goose-fat jade pendant in his hand. Then he smiled, "Send a few more people to protect Miss Qiao Liangjin."


    Lu Li, who was standing outside the carriage, seemed to hesitate. He paused and said, "If Master Qiao finds out, do you think ¡­"


    Su Bai touched the tip of his nose and thought for a while before replying, "Sooner or later, there will be suspicions. You guys be careful. Qiao Liangjin is not that easy to deal with, don''t get yourself involved."


    Lu Li had a bitter face, as if he didn''t want to go at all. He had long heard of this female pervert''s reputation. He was not afraid of anything else, only that his few guards would be stripped naked and bullied.


    The clear voice paused for a moment, and then gently rose: "Hmm? Do you want to go to the garrison? Or do you want to raise pigs? "


    Lu Li immediately accepted the order and left.


    Qiao Liangjin discovered that the little fox had suddenly turned shameless. Everyday, they were crying, rolling around, eating meat, and even rubbing their stomachs.


    She stroked the little fox''s fur and bared her teeth. "Are you also a fox with a double fox set?"


    What was a double fox? The little fox, Yu Sheng was baffled.


    After being called by a group of people for several days, Seventh Prince had almost gone crazy. Although there was good food, he didn''t have a big tail, so he couldn''t sleep with his beloved mistress for a few days.


    The little fox rolled its eyes and decided not to tell this girl. After all, she was not like a normal person.


    Thinking of this, it decided to treat this matter as a secret.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes gradually regained their sight.


    However, every time she stared at the fox in her arms, she would no longer be able to see the depressed, nervous, and worried look in her eyes. She even wondered if she was hallucinating.


    Ye Zichen shook his head, he must have been dumb, did he have to have a love across species?


    This, in this case, would be the headline: ¡ª Mistress falls in love with her own fox; the story that has to be told between the fox and me; the horror of the world, that love transcends everything!


    Qiao Liangjin grinned as he thought about it.


    Why didn''t he create a gossip magazine? According to the blueprints in his mind, gossip magazines must be extremely popular. For hundreds of thousands of years, the people had been interested in the Eastern Family''s short term.


    Ye Zichen stretched lazily and crooked his finger at Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan smiled. "Miss, shouldn''t you prepare yourself for a good deed every day?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and sat in front of the dressing table.


    "I, Qiao HanSan, am back!"


    "What a dupe. Ladies and gentlemen, do you wish to hear about a story called ''Princess Yu''?"

 C27 Excessive Annoyance

    Standing on the chariot, Qiao Liangjin was waving his fat arms as he vividly recounted the story of Yu Linglong. Although his eyes hadn''t been good that day and he couldn''t see her appearance, he had automatically ranked her among the ranks of those b * tches.


    Unknowingly, the chariot had reached the entrance of the palace on its previous route.


    Qiao Liangjin was spitting out the story that Yu Linglong and Husky had no choice but to tell. Suddenly, he felt a passionate gaze behind him that seemed to be staring at him.


    She stopped moving and turned her face slightly to the side. Her gaze had already landed on the cleanliness that stood at the entrance of the palace.


    Eh? Strange, why was he still smiling today? This smile looked quite warm.


    When things happen, there must be something wrong!


    The citizens of the capital had already stabilized their positions. They were eating melon seeds while waiting to clear the place of the countless cold refusals.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and desperately waved his arm.


    It was only after cleaning up that she could clearly see her dress. Her hair had been dyed red with something, and there were two large stars painted on her eyes. One was red and the other was black, but there was a large mole on the corner of her lips.


    The corner of her mouth suddenly twitched as she cleared it with a smile.


    Her dress... How unique.


    "Miss Qiao, how have you been?" He wiped his hands clean and put them behind his back. The morning sun was still on his body, and his whole person was shining in the sunlight.


    "Hua!" All the citizens were stunned.


    "What?"


    Qiao Liangjin dug his ear. He didn''t hear wrongly, right? This man, this man who usually treated him coldly, actually took the initiative to greet him.


    Clearing his head and looking like he was in a good mood, he asked again, "Miss Qiao, how have you been? I haven''t seen you around for a few days, so I''m a bit worried. "


    On the other side, the man was smiling. His long eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were deep under his brows, his nose was straight, and his lips were slightly raised. There was nothing in him that wasn''t a peerless beauty.


    That faint smile was like a small stone thrown into the lake of Qiao Liangjin''s calm heart, causing ripples to form.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed in his heart about the creator''s bias.


    She pressed down on her chest and warned her little heart with all her might. Don''t jump so fast, don''t, it''s just a stinky little thing!


    Almost everyone in the capital was thinking the same question. Had the Seventh Prince fallen off his horse? Did he break his brain?


    Qiao Liangjin smiled in embarrassment. "It''s alright, everything is fine. Are you all right, Seventh Prince?"


    "Everything''s fine, but we can''t drink any more of Miss Qiao''s idle chatter. It''s already time for the assembly. The empress dowager is also talking about you. When you''re free, remember to go take a look."


    With that, she turned and walked into the palace.


    Qiao Liangjin stood at the entrance of the palace in a daze, watching the clean figure gradually disappear.


    It was only when Zi Yan tugged on her sleeve that she suddenly felt that she had seen her clear eyes before.


    Yeah, where have I seen it before?


    He thought for a while. Forget it, I''ll stop thinking about it. I''ve really seen a ghost today.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and suddenly realized that all the citizens were staring at her with their mouths wide open.


    She jumped, and the chariot let out a sigh.


    "Damn! I''m in a relationship, what kind of expression is that?" Qiao Liangjin wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    With that, he gave a thumbs up and pointed towards the palace behind him. He raised his head and said, "He''s my number one husband from now on, so it''s normal for him to greet me. Everyone, don''t have such an expression. "Let''s go, let''s go."


    The war chariot slowly pulled forward.


    Standing on top of the chariot, Qiao Liangjin had one hand on his waist as he waved the other around. He loudly sang: "Fate is a wanderer, fate is a weirdo ¡­"


    The entire Xuanyuan Royal City was talking about how the Seventh Prince seemed to have recovered some of his normal strength, but it seemed that he was even better for Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Zheng returned to his residence and prepared to bring Qiao Liangjin to the west mountain to see the maple leaves.


    The lazy Qiao Liangjin yawned as he watched the servant girl pack up her things. He then carried the fox and got into the carriage.


    Originally, he didn''t want to go. He had just heard that there were other courtyards in the Western Mountain that were once his mother''s favorite. As long as he opened the gates, he would be able to see the maple trees that filled the lands.


    He lazily carried the little fox to Maple Garden.


    Just as she was about to get off the carriage, a small red figure flashed and supported her.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and saw a small girl whose nose and eyes resembled Qiao Zheng''s. He instantly understood that this person should be the legendary Fifth Miss.


    "Qiao Xinting?" Qiao Liangjin searched through his mind.


    The timid Qiao Xinting raised her head and smiled. "Yes, Big Sis."


    He raised his head to look at the door. There was a purple-clothed woman who seemed to be around 30 years old standing there, and she was looking at him with a smile in her eyes.


    "Third Aunt." Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded.


    Third Aunt Guo Caiting''s eyes immediately became moist. Raising his sleeve, he dabbed at the corner of his eyes and said with a smile, "It''s been a long time. Eldest Miss, you''ve grown up and are as good-looking as your mother."


    Qiao Liangjin grinned.


    Guo Caiting, her former mother''s servant, was favored by Qiao Zheng but had never been favoured by him. No wonder he had never seen her before, it turned out that she lived here in the Western Mountains.


    Such a smart person, such a big yard, more or less have problems, move away a little, less trouble.


    Qiao Zheng coughed twice before stepping through the door. "Is the chamber ready?"


    "Master, everything has been prepared and the things that young miss likes to eat have been prepared." Guo Caiting followed Qiao Zheng into the courtyard.


    From start to finish, Qiao Zheng did not even glance at Qiao Xinting.


    The little girl seemed to be accustomed to Qiao Zheng''s actions and only smiled slightly. They supported Qiao Liangjin into the courtyard.


    Qiao Xinting led Qiao Lianjin into the room that they had prepared for her and asked, "Is elder sister''s place suitable?"


    Qiao Liangjin sized up the room. Although it was not as warm as his room in the Prime Minister''s Estate, it was already very warm. Nodding his head.


    Qiao Xinting looked at the snow-white fox in Qiao Liangjin''s arms. The little girl''s mind stirred as she smiled and said, "Big sister, can I touch your little fox?"


    Qiao Liangjin stuffed the little fox into Qiao Xinting''s arms and smiled gently. "Don''t even talk about touching it. It''s not impossible to kill it."


    Qiao Xinting and the little fox, Yu Sheng, raised their heads in shock.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, laughed heartily. He patted Qiao Xinting''s head and said, "You''re joking."


    After dinner, Qiao Liangjin brought the little fox back to his room.


    Qiao Xinting, on the other hand, had a reluctant look as she entered her own room.


    Qiao Liangjin took off his heavy clothes and let Pai Dai rub his arm, "Why is there no maid with this concubine?"


    Ruo Lan came in with some refreshments and some tea. She replied with a smile, "Third Madame is a very smart girl. She hasn''t been treated in so many years. If she had a maid, it would be like having a knife."


    Qiao Liangjin propped his chin up with one hand and drew on the table with the other as he dipped a cup of tea. He didn''t quite understand: "Why would my father suddenly bring me here?"


    He shook his head again, remembering the gentle clearing in the morning.


    Why was his entire mind filled with his figure today? His smile was rather pretty.


    Wait, why did he suddenly treat me so well?


    Was there some kind of conspiracy?


    At one moment, he was all smiles while at the other, he was frowning.


    If Lan Lan and Dai were curious, what could cause this girl to be so unpredictable?


    "Miss?"


    "Huh?"


    "What were you laughing at?"


    Qiao Liangjin touched his face and asked in surprise, "Did I laugh just now?"


    The two maidservants nodded their heads firmly.


    "It''s over, it''s over. I don''t even know myself. Am I suffering from facial tic syndrome?" "No, I have to get that Ning Ying guy to show it to me. I saw it last time, he has some tricks up his sleeve."


    Ruo Lan couldn''t help covering her mouth and laughing.


    Deep into the night, the moon was high in the sky.


    The night on the mountain was chilling.


    Qiao Liangjin pushed open the window and put on his cloak. He lightly leaped up and sat on the windowsill.


    The hazy moonlight shone on her body.


    Her delicate lower jaw was glowing. His entire face was gently basking in the moonlight.


    A cool breeze blew through the window, blowing against his black hair.


    A strand of pitch-black hair fluttered onto his jade-like face.


    Now that he had shed his lunatic appearance during the day, Qiao Liangjin''s heart was as cold as the night.


    After escaping from Yu Linglong''s ambush, she didn''t treat her as an opponent at all. However, she was truly worried that she would become a pawn in the emperor''s hands.


    Clear... The Emperor''s own brother.


    His abnormal attitude today was not the same as that of the Seventh Marquis who had stuck to him for the past few days.


    He felt a lot more normal, but there was also a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.


    Loving? Yes, she saw it in his eyes.


    Where had he seen such a gaze before?


    After all, why stay here with a glimmer of hope?


    Furthermore, she knew that no matter how much she belittled him, his excellence was still something she acknowledged from the bottom of her heart.


    He let out a long sigh.


    In a trance, a white shadow landed on the maple tree in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    "Come out, Prince Ning." Qiao Liangjin''s voice was clear and clean.


    Ning Xian, who was dressed in a wide robe, slowly descended from the tree and landed in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head back and said with a smile, "I didn''t expect such a coincidence. Even in such a desolate place, we could still meet Prince Ning."


    Ning Ying sat across from Qiao Liangjin, and just like Qiao Liangjin, he leaned his back against the windowsill and smiled, "I didn''t expect the legendary humble Miss Qiao to also have good kung fu."


    Qiao Liangjin cupped his hands, "It''s my honor to give in."


    Ning Xi put down the jade bone fan in her hand, took out a wineskin from her waist, and gave it to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin received the wineskin, opened the lid, smelled it, and laughed: "Wine of the night cup." This wine is pretty good. "


    "Eh, this is a wine from the West, how do you know?" Ning Ying was curious.


    "In this world, there are only things that you guys don''t know about, nothing that I don''t know about." Qiao Liangjin poured the wine into his mouth.


    After gulping down a few mouthfuls, he wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, passed the wine to Ning Ying, and said, "Don''t try to get me drunk. In this world, no one has yet appeared who wants to get me drunk."


    Ning Xian shook the wineskin and asked, "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll poison this wine?"


    "In this world, there is no poison that I do not recognize. How could you possibly be able to poison me? Don''t be an idiot." Qiao Liangjin''s fingers stroked his long hair that had been blown by the wind.

 C28 Save the Life of a Demon

    Ning Ying slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at this girl who looked like a fairy under the moonlight.


    Ye Zichen was confused for a moment.


    Outside the wall, a black shadow was borrowing the moonlight to write on a small piece of paper: West Hill of Fengbai Garden. The moonlight shines in the sky as Miss Qiao and Prince Ning sing a song to each other over their wine.


    After writing, he tied the piece of paper to an owl, pointed at the city, and made a flying motion.


    The owl shook its head, then spread its wings and flew away.


    "Miss Qiao, there seems to be something on your mind. Can you tell this one about it?" Ning Xi''s long hair was also messed up by the wind.


    Qiao Liangjin could not bear to see it like this, so he approached Ning imprint.


    Ning Ying''s breath caught in his throat as he saw a slender jade-like hand approach his face, brushing away the hair on his face. The fragrance of crabapple blossoms wafted into his nose.


    "It''s fine if women have long hair, but men like you have long hair. "But Prince Ning, you''re actually quite good-looking as well." Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose.


    "Since Miss Qiao feels that I am not bad looking, then why don''t we take today''s moonlight as our personal date?"


    "Since Prince Ning feels that he''s not bad, why not make an open and honorable visit and propose to him?"


    Ning Xi paused for a moment, lightly clapping his hands. "Miss Qiao is smarter than I thought."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and made a inviting gesture: "It''s getting late, I should get some rest. "Prince Ning, this way, please."


    Ning Ying didn''t linger and jumped off the window sill. He walked straight towards the wall, waving his hands casually. "Miss Qiao, just wait for me to come and propose marriage."


    Qiao Liangjin jumped off the windowsill and closed the window.


    "So many lunatics." Qiao Liangjin said without thinking. He then got onto the bed and threw out the fox who had occupied half of his bed.


    The fox had been fine a few days ago and had only slept by his pillow. For the past few days, it had been like a child that had taken over half of his bed. She didn''t have much love for it, so why did she give it food and share half of the bed with it?


    The little fox rolled on the ground a few times and reluctantly squatted down under the bed.


    This Qiao Liangjin was too heartless. He looked so cute and smart, but why was she so heartless to him?


    The little fox''s stomach suddenly tightened and it chirped. It could only run out to the toilet by itself.


    The mountain was so dark. Even if there was moonlight, it wouldn''t stop him from being afraid of the dark!


    He moved along the wall and arrived under a tree, happily resolving the problem in his stomach.


    The little fox walked to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard and then silently breathed in and out. As he opened his mouth slightly, a red inner core floated out from his mouth.


    Under the moonlight, the color of the inner pellet became more and more bright.


    "Help, help!" The little fox suddenly heard a little girl''s voice coming from outside the wall.


    The little fox was startled and quickly swallowed the inner pellet back into his stomach. He turned around and jumped onto the wall.


    A little girl with a jade carved face crawled on the ground and stretched her arms towards it with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.


    The little fox hurriedly ran to the little girl''s side and nudged her with the tip of its nose.


    The little girl''s eyes were dull as she mechanically repeated the two words, "Save me."


    The little fox was somewhat anxious. It turned around and ran back into the house.


    Qiao Liangjin had already fallen asleep. The little fox took a deep breath. It knew how terrifying it would be if it woke Qiao Liangjin up. It was already prepared to be skinned alive.


    "Ka Cha", he bit Qiao Liangjin''s exposed arm.


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes in anger and roared: "Stupid fox! "How dare you bite me!"


    The little fox raised its paws and covered its eyes. However, its mouth was in a mess as it screamed anxiously.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled away his quilt, grabbed hold of the little fox, and walked to the round table. He lit a candle, placed the little fox on the table, and warned: "You better tell me what''s going on, otherwise I''ll let you know what is worse than death."


    The little fox used its claws to point outside as it continuously circled around.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and tapped the little fox''s forehead.


    A little boy sat on the table and called out anxiously.


    "Speak human words!" Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes.


    Yu Sheng cleared his throat before saying, "Outside, there''s a girl. Save her."


    Qiao Liangjin crossed his arms and sneered: "Why should I?"


    Ah? He even needed a reason to save someone? The little fox was dumbfounded.


    He shook Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve anxiously. He couldn''t possibly say that the little girl was pretty good-looking, right?


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth lifted as he asked, "Isn''t she pretty good-looking?"


    Ah? Did she know again? The little fox''s face instantly turned red.


    Qiao Liangjin scratched the little fox''s nose and then flew out.


    Not long later, he carried the little girl into the room.


    Closing the window, he placed the little girl on the bed.


    She took her pulse and frowned.


    As expected, he wasn''t human. This was not surprising. Why would there be a human girl in this desolate mountain range?


    He took out the golden needle from his bag and inserted it near the little girl''s heart.


    The little girl''s body shone with green light and shrunk into a ball.


    A bunch of mimosas appeared on Qiao Liangjin''s bed.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled out the peony from the pot and placed the small mimosa in the pot.


    He then placed the flower pot on the table and said to the little fox, Yu Sheng, "Yu Sheng, she is a Mimosa. I think it''s because I don''t have enough cultivation experience, so I''m heavily injured. I can treat people, but I can''t treat monsters and monsters like you, so I can only do this.


    The little fox''s eyes were filled with worship and reverence as it said, "Master, you''re the best. Rest assured, I''ll take good care of her."


    Qiao Liangjin pouted and said, "You''re really interested in women. If she was a toad spirit, you probably would have hidden yourself a long time ago."


    Yu Sheng waved his fists in protest and said, "Of course not, of course not. I''m not as passionate as you, Master."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand, "Don''t worry about it, I''m very sleepy. If you wake me up again, I''ll skin you and throw your mimosa grass into the fire. Do you remember?"


    This woman was truly malicious!


    She nodded with all her might and stuck up three of her fingers, swearing to the heavens that it would never dare to mess with her in its sleep again.


    Qiao Liangjin pinched the face of a baby made of Yusheng and smiled in satisfaction.


    In the darkness, Qiao Liangjin''s even breathing could be heard.


    Yu Sheng squatted beside the flower pot and looked at the listless Mimosa. He said softly, "Don''t worry. You''ll definitely be fine."


    After pondering for a long time, he finally couldn''t hold it in anymore. He bit his own finger and dripped the fox blood on the Mimosa Grass.


    The Mimosa Grass slightly swayed its body, as if it was rejecting him.


    Qiao Liangjin did not wake up until the sun rose.


    Looking at Yu Sheng who was sleeping on the table, the bowl of Mimosa seemed to have a bit of vigor.


    Walking closer to the table, he could smell the scent of blood, and Qiao Liangjin''s eyes suddenly turned warm.


    This selfish little fox had actually used his own blood essence to feed this little flower spirit.


    He gently carried the sleeping little fox, Yu Sheng, onto the bed.


    With Yu Sheng''s pale lips and face that was as white as snow, Qiao Liangjin shook his head and tucked him in.


    Walking up to the table, he used his fingers to touch the Mimosa that had its head lowered and smiled. "Consider yourself lucky to have met Yu Sheng."


    The Mimosa Grass suddenly retracted its leaves. He looked shy and timid.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and flung his sleeves before saying coquettishly: "Die."


    Pai Dai, who was carrying a bottle of water to wash her face, paused at the door when she heard Qiao Liangjin''s two words.


    Qiao Liangjin turned his head to look at Pai Dai who was in a dilemma and asked, "What are you doing?"


    Pai Di giggled and looked around. She then put down the basin and said, "I thought Miss has an important guest in her room."


    Qiao Liangjin stretched his back and lazily walked to the front of the basin. He lowered his head and looked at his reflection, which seemed to have decreased a bit. Unknowingly, his two chins had already quietly disappeared.


    Touching her face, the background of her body was actually quite good. If it wasn''t for that chastity who had been selfish and turned her body''s owner into a stupid pig, she could still occupy a place in the capital.


    Picking up a handful of water, he threw it on his face.


    In his mind, he suddenly thought of that Ning Xi who had accompanied her to admire the moon last night.


    The wide robe fluttered in the wind, as if it had entered her mind.


    Wiping his face with a silk handkerchief, Qiao Liangjin shook his head, shaking off the Night Elf''s Incantation.


    At the Seventh Prince''s Mansion.


    The paper that was sent by Lu Li was gently crushed. With a wave of his hand, the paper that had become dust fell into the pool.


    Ning Xi, it looks like I need to pay a visit to this prince from the Southern Kingdom who''s as famous as me.


    When he reached the door, the guard was ready to drive the horse away. He lightly jumped onto a horse, reined it in, and squeezed the horse''s belly.


    The horse turned and galloped toward the market.


    The guard saw that his mistress usually hated leaving in such a dusty and worn manner, so why was she so casual today? He quickly mounted another horse and followed behind her.


    He cleared the road and passed through the bazaar.


    The people coming and going in the market saw the reddish hush and exploded with a "boom".


    "Quick, look, isn''t that the Seventh Prince? Are we going to the Prime Minister''s Estate?"


    "No, no, that''s not right. I think we should go in this direction ¡­"


    "Seems like he''s going to King Ning''s Mansion!"


    The commoners felt that they were about to witness the most exciting story in history. People holding children, pulling buffaloes, squeezing people, or getting attacked by others all followed after Su Qing in unison.


    When they arrived at the entrance of King Ning''s Estate and saw the mansion the Emperor had bestowed upon Ning Xi, their long brows knitted slightly.


    Although it was not as imposing as his own Seventh Marquis Mansion, it still had a vague feeling of being able to contend with him.


    No wonder he said he would marry Qiao Liangjin.


    He stepped up the stairs and was about to knock when a servant opened the door.


    He sized up Su Chen and respectfully greeted, "Seventh Prince, Prince Ning requests your presence."

 C29 Love Rival Meeting

    She cleared her throat and nodded her head, then entered King Ning''s mansion in a flash of red.


    The commoners who were following behind them to watch the show immediately became anxious. Why wasn''t there a female lead in such a melodramatic situation?


    What exactly were they talking about when they met? Could it be that the two men understood each other?


    Some commoners in the city even prepared to climb up the walls of Prince Ning''s estate to see what was going to happen inside.


    However, a few servants came out of Ning Wang Manor and dragged down the commoners who were preparing to climb the wall.


    Qing Qing followed the butler who claimed to be Old Yang into the garden.


    Ning Xi was currently sitting in the pavilion. He lazily leaned on the beauty''s bed. His loose clothes did not cover his lazy collarbone.


    Su Su Qing sat opposite of Ning Xi.


    Ning Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled at the serious expression on Su Su Su Qing''s face.


    "The Seventh Prince is such a rare guest. It''s been three months since Ning Indian came to the capital, yet he hasn''t even paid a visit."


    She brushed the dust off her sleeves lightly and tilted her head, smiling as she said, "Prince Ning has always been busy being a little thief under the moon. Do you have enough sleep to wake up so early?"


    When Ning Ying heard these words, he laughed heartily and sat up with his legs crossed, not caring at all about the spring sun that was seeping out from within his robes.


    "So those secret guards were sent by the Seventh Prince. Seventh Prince is so considerate. "


    "Prince Ning, Qiao Liangjin ¡­"


    "Miss Qiao is very interesting. I like her very much. I plan to go to the Prime Minister''s Estate to propose marriage soon." Ning Xuemo''s white jade bone fan lightly tapped the center of her palm.


    The clear hands suddenly retracted, and the pupils slightly retracted.


    Then, an indifferent smile appeared on his face.


    "I haven''t told Prince Ning that Qiao Liangjin has been with me all this time."


    Ning Ying immediately shook his head and interrupted, "That was in the past. Didn''t you say you hated her? Why did you come all the way here today?"


    Su Qing was stunned. That''s right, what happened to her today? Ever since she saw the note saying that the two of them sang together under the moon, she couldn''t hold herself back anymore.


    He, who was calm and never revealed his emotions, lost his composure.


    He cleared his throat and stood up, cupping his hands and smiling, "That was in the past. Prince Ning, take care. Jin''er, I will fight for it."


    Far away in the west mountain, Qiao Liangjin was currently leaning against a maple tree and gasping for breath.


    He sneezed and raised his head to look at the sky. There was no change in the sky. Could it be that someone was talking about him behind his back?


    Forget it, I''m too lazy to bother.


    She pointed at the Snow Fox who was running with all her might and shouted, "If you dare to bite through this grandpa''s self-made underwear, I''ll beat you to death!"


    He had no idea that the two men had already fought in the Ning Residence.


    Ning Xi watched him leave, shaking her head with a smile. "If we don''t fight, how will we know who the winner is?"


    After speaking, he lazily laid back on the beauty bed.


    Slightly squinting his eyes, he thought of the arm that had approached his face in the wind last night, that fragrance of crabapple blossoms.


    That exquisite and graceful figure, the grandeur when drinking wine, he thought over and over again.


    The thought that Su Qing might have never seen her so confident gave him a sense of satisfaction.


    After staying in the western mountains for two days, Qiao Zheng brought Qiao Liangjin back to the imperial city.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin returned to the Prime Minister''s Estate, he heard someone pointing at him without knowing what to say.


    She hated people talking behind her back the most in her life.


    While shouting, Ah Kuan brought the servant girl over and stood in the hallway. He asked, "What are you guys talking about in secret?"


    The servant girl hurriedly shook her head.


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows twitched and he said coldly, "If you want to be a servant girl here, then tell me obediently what you are talking about. Otherwise, I wouldn''t mind throwing you into the brothel."


    When the servant girl heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "This servant doesn''t dare. This servant heard it from the outside and said ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin really hated how the ancients always talked like this. He shook his head and said, "Ah Kuan, if she doesn''t clarify within five sentences, I''ll throw her into a brothel and sell her for a good price."


    "Seventh Prince went to King Ning''s estate. I don''t know what the two of them talked about, but Prince Ning said he''d come back in a few days to propose marriage." That''s all, miss. " The servant girl suddenly became sharp-tongued and explained everything in a few sentences.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded thoughtfully. He waved his hand.


    The servant girl hurriedly stood up, turned around, and ran away.


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head as if he was deep in thought. Then, he raised his head and loudly said: "You''re crazy!"


    With a nonchalant attitude, he swaggered into the Flower Gold Pavilion.


    He took off his outer garment and changed it into a close-fitting dress. Opening the window, Qiao Liangjin sat by the window.


    What were these two people up to?


    She remembered that she used to hate it when she was cleaned up.


    Ning Xuemo should not hate him.


    After all, they drank together under the moon.


    If she was given the choice, she would probably choose Ning imprint.


    As he was thinking, he saw the little fox digging under the bed with all its might.


    Qiao Liangjin grabbed the little fox and asked, "What are you doing? He dug a hole and buried the mimosa? It''s not dead. "


    The little fox suddenly felt that Qiao Liangjin''s way of thinking was really strange. It pointed at the bottom of the bed and let out two chirps.


    Qiao Liangjin curiously put down the little fox, knelt on the bed and looked under the bed.


    Eh, a jade bottle.


    Qiao Liangjin took out a jade bottle, opened the bottle cap and took a sniff.


    The aroma of the wine assaulted his nostrils.


    Qiao Liangjin shook the bottle and looked into the jade bottle with one eye.


    How could she not remember that there was a bottle of wine here?


    The taste of this bottle of wine was so unique, I didn''t know if it was good or not.


    He smacked his lips and was about to take a sip when he saw the little fox twirling its tail.


    She stopped and shook the bottle, asking, "Did you hide this wine? Is it not too suitable for me to drink? "


    Black lines appeared on the little fox''s forehead. This careless master of his finally became smart once more and nodded his head repeatedly.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and covered the bottle with the lid. He then pointed his finger and the little fox transformed into its human form. Then, he held onto the bottle.


    Suddenly realizing that he was not wearing any clothes, he turned around and ran to the bedside. He took out a child''s clothes and quickly put them on.


    He ran to the Mimosa Flower Bowl and squatted there, carefully biting the tip of his finger.


    Qiao Liangjin knew that the spirit blood of a demon was very precious. Just as he was about to stop her, he saw that the Mimosa Grass had slowly turned into the human form of a little girl.


    "Thank you." There seemed to be a little blood on the corner of her lips.


    However, Yuesheng opened the lid of the jade bottle and handed the bottle to the Mimosa with a flushed face. "Drink it."


    He picked up the jade bottle and took a sip.


    "Aiyaya, children can''t drink!" Qiao Liangjin quickly ran over and snatched the jade bottle. He looked at the green wine with a bit of pity as it was missing a mouthful. He felt his heart ache.


    His face, which he didn''t want to be shy about, turned pink in an instant.


    There were two deep dimples on his smiling face.


    Yu Sheng blushed again.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the little demoness who had started to blush. He was surprised.


    He looked at the wine in his hand, then quickly put it under his bed.


    Then, he turned his head towards Yu Sheng and roared fiercely, "This is mine, you are not allowed to touch it in the future."


    Yu Sheng looked somewhat awkwardly at the miser''s master. He scratched his head and smiled towards the mimosa, saying, "I am Yu Sheng. This is my master. Although he looks a little vulgar, he doesn''t look like much, even though..."


    He suddenly felt a murderous intent behind him. He quickly turned around and hid behind the Mimosa. He whispered, "Offend no one. Don''t offend her. She''s too scary."


    The Mimosa Grass smiled and said to Qiao Liangjin, "Little Devil Spirit Swirl greets Miss."


    Upon hearing this name, Yu Sheng''s eyes lit up as he jumped out from behind her. Patting his own chest, he said, "Spirit Swirl, if you follow me in the future, I guarantee that you will become the strongest Fey in this world."


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled and said without even raising his head, "Spirit Swirl, if you follow him, you probably won''t live past thirty years."


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, Yusheng shook his thin fist unhappily and said, "Master, there will be a day when you will see how powerful I am."


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, yawned deeply.


    Then she took a quill and wrote on a piece of paper, "Before, a fox had to eat a chicken every day, but now there is a mimic. I wonder if this thing will be enough to drink some water to bask in the sunlight?" Oh, there''s an additional expense. Oh right, do you need more fertilizer! "


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, the Spirit Swirl''s face turned red again.


    Yuesheng pulled Spirit Swirl out the door and the two of them sat side by side on the swing in the yard.


    Yu Sheng looked up and said, "I don''t know why you got injured, but you don''t have to be afraid in the future. Follow me and I''ll protect you."


    Ling Xuan''s face turned red again as he nodded.


    In the distance, Ran Ran saw a pair of jade carved children sitting on a swing. It was unknown what they were whispering.


    Upon closer inspection, they saw the little fox, Yu Sheng, and a little girl that they had never seen before.


    Ruo Lan laughed and squatted down to pinch the little girl''s face. "Where did this little girl come from? Your daughter-in-law is so cute!"


    Upon hearing that it was his daughter-in-law, Yu Sheng immediately jumped down from the swing, jumping nonstop as he protested, "She''s not, no, she''s mine. She''s mine..." Yes, my little brother. She''s that Mimosa! "


    Ruo Lan''s face curved up in a smile. She nodded her head and said, "Yes, I understand."


    The Spirit Swirling Swirl, however, was in a good mood as it let Ruo Lan pinch its own little face.


    Ruo Lan let go of her little face and asked, "What''s your name?"


    "The Little Demon is called Spirit Swirl."


    In just a short period of time, all of them had recognised the new Little Devil Spirit Swirl.


    A plant demoness completely different from the frenzied Yu Sheng.


    Qiao Liangjin had already disappeared for two days and the entire capital had begun their promotions, saying that Qiao Zheng had already locked Qiao Liangjin away and was prepared to marry her in a few days.


    Qiao Liangjin had just finished drawing a crayon little new eyebrow, he turned to Zi Yan and asked: "Zi Yan, is this eyebrow nice to look at? Doesn''t it look like two squirming caterpillars? "


    Zi Yan looked at it carefully, shook his head, and said, "It''s still a bit short."


    He picked up his eyebrow pencil and drew a few lines on her forehead.

 C30 Be Misunderstood

    Qiao Liangjin suddenly thought of that day when the quiet Yuesheng had been giving him a thrush.


    Then, he took a look at Yu Sheng, who was picking his butt and blowing on it extravagantly.


    This was not a fox at all.


    After getting ready, Qiao Liangjin swaggered out of the Prime Minister''s Estate.


    The citizens of the Royal City seemed to be very interested in this Qiao Liangjin recently. They all stood in the market and watched as Qiao Liangjin, who had eyebrows like a caterpillar, walked through the crowd.


    Qiao Liangjin walked to the platform that Qiao Ruo Ying had built and steadied himself. He pressed his hands together and said with a smile: "Recently, I accompanied my father out. What happened in the Royal City? Everyone tell me!"


    The crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone was talking animatedly about their visit to Ning Wang Manor.


    Qiao Liangjin finally understood his words.


    It was clear that they were going to clear up the provocation in King Ning''s mansion.


    After that, the two of them fought and the entire Ning Residence was destroyed.


    Qiao Liangjin was beaming with joy. This was truly a joyous occasion!


    After Bai took out the reward and gave it to the people with the most detailed stories, he walked towards Spring Flower Lane with his fat body swaying.


    He watched as the fat figure disappeared into the chrysanthemum garden.


    The commoners sighed. Such a woman still wanted to go to the little grocer''s lodge? How could she be fought over by two men? The heavens were truly blind.


    Qiao Liangjin was guided up to the third floor and into a room specially prepared for her.


    She wiped her face and put on a black dress.


    Just a moment ago, she was already drenched in sweat.


    Listening to the manager of the chrysanthemum restaurant reporting to her, she nodded her head in satisfaction.


    Look, no matter what era it was, there would always be men who were good men.


    When she looked out of the window on the third floor, she saw a shy figure in the crowd.


    Eh, isn''t that Xiao Rong?


    Why does it seem like I''m drunk?


    Qiao Liangjin crooked her finger. Bai approached her and pointed outside.


    Bai nodded and went out.


    Not long later, he brought the confused Xiao Rong into the room.


    Qiao Liangjin poured a cup of tea and shook his head as he looked at Xiao Rong, who was still unconscious on the bed.


    It was indeed a male child. He did not know much about the world and was almost twisted by someone.


    He directed Bai to strip off his clothes that had been stained by the vomit.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes immediately lit up.


    Xiao Rong''s figure was also quite good.


    Thinking back to that night when Ning Ying''s collarbone was revealed, this didn''t seem to be bad either.


    He used his eyes to look at the man in front of him, but he could still see the totem tattoos on Xiao Rong''s back.


    Qiao Liangjin was slightly curious. He approached Xiao Rong and prepared to carefully examine the reddish totem.


    A pair of eyes opened at this moment. They met Qiao Liangjin''s clear eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face immediately turned red as he placed his hands by Xiao Rong''s side. From the way Xiao Rong bent his back and lowered his head, he could completely see his cleavage.


    Xiao Rong was stunned.


    This woman looked so familiar.


    Why was this action so vulgar?


    He suddenly woke up and sat up. However, he discovered that he was not wearing anything.


    He raised his eyes and looked at the graceful woman before him in disbelief.


    The woman lightly coughed and turned her head to say, "Things are not what you think."


    This voice sounded very familiar.


    He quickly put on the clothes at the end of the bed.


    Xiao Rong said embarrassedly, "Miss, I apologize for my rudeness. I will definitely ask for your hand in marriage in the future. I am not an irresponsible person. Please rest assured Miss. "


    "Huh?" He was going to be responsible if she touched him like this?


    She did not understand the thoughts of the ancients.


    "No, no, no. We already have three wives at home." Qiao Liangjin quickly refused. However, his gaze unconsciously shifted to Xiao Rong.


    Ah, this skin is so tight and smooth to the touch. I really want to touch it again.


    "I, Xiao, have never taken a wife. Please rest assured, Miss. But... "Where is this place?" Xiao Rong looked around. He had no impression of this place at all.


    "This is my lodge. "Hahahaha, you were almost sold here. If not for my kindness, your chrysanthemum would have turned into a sunflower today." Qiao Liangjin said as he smiled, beaming with joy.


    Remembering that the ancients didn''t understand his joke, Qiao Liangjin felt a chill down his spine.


    "I remember now, you are not... "The young miss of the Qiao family?" Xiao Rong patted his head, finally realizing who the voice belonged to.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was laughing maniacally with his hands on his hips, suddenly could not laugh anymore.


    This Xiao Rong had quite the ability, he could recognize him just by hearing the voice.


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled. He touched the tip of his nose and looked at Xiao Rong, who was being bullied on the bed. He cupped his hands and said, "I''m really sorry."


    Xiao Rong blinked as he looked at Qiao Lianjin who was dressed in a black dress. He didn''t have his usual corpulent, obese appearance.


    Her delicate and pretty appearance really had a unique style.


    So it turned out that she was like this.


    As if he''d picked up a treasure, Xiao Rong smiled and nodded with his eyes flickering.


    "Big Miss Qiao is indeed a person who doesn''t show her face."


    "No, no, no, no. I have no choice but to disguise myself." Qiao Liangjin did not continue to pretend that he was not Qiao Liangjin.


    "Today... "Since Big Miss Qiao has seen my body, shouldn''t you give an explanation?"


    Xiao Rong suddenly recalled the scenery under the clothes that he had just seen and his face immediately blushed again.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes. ''Why do I feel like this kid is just bluffing?''


    "Hehe, Young Master Xiao, you must be joking, really joking. What virtue or ability does Qiao Liangjin have? Moreover, I was only looking at you and didn''t do anything. We ¡­" Qiao Liangjin rubbed his hands together as he desperately tried to find an excuse.


    Well, he had to play a bad guy with a bad heart.


    Xiao Rong frowned as he heard that Qiao Lianjin didn''t seem to want to admit it.


    Yo, this man, why does he look so pretty frowning?


    Qiao Liangjin was not a good person. He could not allow the beautiful men to suffer grievances.


    Sighing, he sat down beside Xiao Rong and placed his small hand on the back of Xiao Rong''s hand.


    "Be good, everyone has their share of mistakes. It doesn''t matter, your packaging is still fine. In the future, it won''t be a problem for you to marry a wife and have a child." Qiao Liangjin consoled Xiao Rong.


    His persuasion should be fine. He was almost touched by himself.


    In the romance novels he read when he was still in school, it seemed that the male lead had always been the one to persuade the female lead.


    "Jin''er, I''ve decided on you." Xiao Rong flipped his palm and grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s small hand.


    Holding Qiao Liangjin''s hand that was as warm as jade, Xiao Rong was even more determined that he couldn''t let go.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the ceiling and rolled his eyes.


    He was the one who wanted to go through with it, so how could one or two of them treat him like this?


    Without revealing any emotion, Qiao Liangjin pulled his hand away and shook his head as he walked to the door. He walked out in time, closed the door, and then quickly escaped through the back door.


    Thirty-six moves was the best.


    What a waste of time. It seems like this guy was too stingy.


    He quickly took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak six people into the Flower Gold Pavilion through the back door of the Prime Minister''s Estate.


    Qiao Yue-er held a Dragon-Li and pointed at Qiao Liangjin''s figure as she said, "That person''s figure is so familiar!"


    Hearing the sound of Yu Sheng''s Spirit Swirling Swirl cultivating outside, Qiao Liangjin turned out the lights.


    Running back and forth was tiring today.


    Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes. In the cool breeze in the mountain, the Ning Xian Seal that accompanied him in drinking wine once again entered his mind.


    It was already midnight.


    The window was gently pushed open.


    His feet lightly landed on the ground, and he silently walked to Qiao Liangjin''s bedside.


    Bending over, he groped under the bed and found a bottle. The black shadow stood up again and prepared to leave. Suddenly, it stopped and stood at the head of the bed, looking at Qiao Liangjin who was sleeping soundly.


    A hand, seemingly out of control, crept across her brow, her eyes, her nose, her lips.


    With another flash, the figure left the room.


    That night, Qiao Liangjin had a dream.


    Dreaming of standing barefoot in the snow.


    A red clothed man was currently making a gesture of raising his hand, then a blade descended.


    The heads of the hundreds of people in the prime minister''s mansion all fell to the ground at the same time.


    The red clothed man turned around. That familiar smile was bone-chilling cold.


    Suddenly opening his eyes, Qiao Liangjin discovered that his back was covered in cold sweat.


    She gently caressed her chest. He thought of his father, who had spoiled him to the heavens, and his brother, who was innocent and innocent.


    Gritting her teeth, no matter the cost, she had to protect these two people well.


    The sky was bright as Qiao Liangjin put on his battle uniform and stood quietly by the door, waiting for Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng walked to the door and saw Qiao Liangjin''s appearance and asked: "Jin''er appeared earlier than usual today."


    "Father, what would the Emperor say if you took a sick leave at this time?"


    He was going straight to the point, there was no need for too many twists and turns.


    Qiao Zheng was stunned for a moment. How could he not know the thoughts of the Son of Heaven today?


    A monk cannot hide from a temple.


    "Jin''er, it looks like Prince Ning really likes you." Qiao Zheng sized up his daughter who was not dressed in any exaggerated attire today and said lovingly.


    "Men are like clothes to me. Father, you are the most important." Qiao Liangjin''s eyes flashed.


    Qiao Zheng trembled for a moment and then raised his head in disbelief as he looked carefully at the girl in front of him.


    He smiled wryly, "Jin''er be good. Daddy is going to court now, otherwise I''ll be late."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head and obediently stepped aside, looking at the location of the Imperial City.


    If he couldn''t change his fate, then he would just follow its lead and kill him.


    After being an assassin for so many years, her heart had always been stone-cold.


    It was only when she was making a big decision that she would easily tease him.


    However, his current body was still not strong enough. Even though he had made a contract to multiply his internal force, it was still not enough.


    Pai Dai stood beside Qiao Liangjin and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you worried ¡­"


    "Pink, you''re the most careful, so you should know what I''m worried about the most."


    "I''ll listen to you, Miss."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed lightly.

 C31 Brilliant Appearance

    "That''s useless. I would not serve a man with two sisters. " Qiao Liangjin continued.


    "I will continue to wander around the city today."


    "Yes, miss."


    "The previous vine."


    "The righteous path on earth is vicissitudes of life."


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice once again resounded through the entire Xuanyuan Royal City.


    Yu Linglong stood at the door of the princess'' mansion, holding her handkerchief as she looked at Qiao Liangjin who was standing on top of the war chariot. Her fat face did not seem to mind the eyes of the people in the world as she sang loudly.


    Qiao Liangjin saw Yu Linglong from afar. He waved his arm with all his might and shouted, "Hello, Princess, where is your Husky? Is it still there? "


    What the hell is a Husky? Yu Linglong had never allowed anyone to gossip about her. Once she was discovered, her tongue would be pulled out. Naturally, she did not hear about the love story between her and a dog that was spread all over the capital.


    Qiao Liangjin gradually approached Yu Linglong. With a wave of his hand, the car stopped in front of the county governor''s mansion. She pointed at her chariot and said with a smile, "Princess, you have never seen such a mighty and domineering car, right?"


    Yu Linglong didn''t want to talk to her, so she just lowered her head and focused on her nose and heart.


    "Is your Husky all right? You won''t abandon it, will you? "


    Hearing the word ''throw away'', Yu Linglong also saw that the people behind her seemed to be anticipating her reply.


    If he lost his answer, would it seem like he was being heartless?


    She reluctantly replied, "How could I lose it?"


    "Oh ~" Everyone was suddenly enlightened.


    No wonder Princess Yu Linglong refused to marry. She had fallen in love with a dog!


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were sparkling as he proudly raised his chin towards the crowd behind him and gave a few mischievous laughs.


    When everyone received the notification, they also followed with a mischievous smile.


    Suddenly, Yu Linglong felt that something was wrong. What was going on? Why did everyone have a strange smile on their faces?


    Qiao Liangjin''s chariot started moving again. She seized the weakness of Yu Linglong''s face and knew that even if she was curious about what the Husky was, she wouldn''t follow her to ask.


    Laughing, he pointed to the front with his small hand, "Little ones, our next stop will be the palace gates!"


    As the carriage reached the entrance of the palace, Su Qing stood at the entrance again in her court uniform. She smiled at Ye Xiao with a sunny smile, "Good morning."


    Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose.


    Su Qing also unconsciously touched the tip of her nose.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned. Since when did this bastard learn this move of his?


    "Good morning, Miss Qiao." Xiao Rong, who was wearing a black robe, squeezed over.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his hand and greeted: "Hi!"


    Hi... What kind of word was that? Xiao Rong was blind.


    "Miss Qiao, I bought breakfast for you at Granny Wen''s house. You probably haven''t eaten yet, so hurry and eat while it''s still hot." Warm man Xiao Rong handed over the food in his hand.


    Qiao Liangjin patted his fat belly and laughed. "I''m already so fat, and you still want me to eat?"


    Xiao Rong didn''t seem to mind at all as he smiled and said, "Not fat, not fat at all. It''s just perfect."


    Seeing Xiao Rong''s smiling appearance, Xiao Qing felt that it was a little eye-catching and couldn''t help but snort coldly.


    This sound reached Qiao Liangjin''s ears and she tilted her head slightly. She saw that Qing Qing still had a carefree appearance, but her black eyes were filled with displeasure.


    What was a pretty boy like Xiao Rong with his nose to his nose and heart to his heart?


    He cleared his mind and read silently.


    Qiao Liangjin''s crafty eyebrows raised slightly. ''Yo, this guy, he seems to be jealous!''


    She originally wanted to continue rejecting Xiao Rong''s breakfast, but she decided to accept it.


    "Young Master Xiao, I''m suddenly hungry again. Can you feed me?" Qiao Liangjin alighted from the chariot and sat at the side of the chariot. His two thick legs dangled in the air as he opened his mouth and waited for Xiao Rong.


    Xiao Rong was startled for a moment before he opened the box with a smile. He then picked up a little bun and carefully stuffed it into Qiao Liangjin''s mouth.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded in satisfaction. This kid is worth teaching!


    Wow, this steamed bun is really delicious, full of the fragrance of beef.


    Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Rong, whose skin was sparkling and translucent. He was indeed a pretty boy, suitable to serve the old woman.


    However, her fingers disobediently crawled up Xiao Rong''s handsome face.


    Look at these eyebrows, look at this nose, tsk tsk, it''s really perfect!


    Suddenly, he heard someone coughing violently nearby.


    He turned his head and looked at Su Qingqing with dissatisfaction, "Seventh Prince, can''t you calm down for a bit?"


    Qing Qing was stunned. What kind of woman was this? Why did it seem like he had a lot of opinions of himself when he was trying to do something to another man?


    "This King is going to the court." With that, he coughed twice before turning around and striding into the palace.


    His heart was full of discomfort, as if he had a lump in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.


    Xiao Rong maintained his docile appearance as he leaned his face close to Qiao Liangjin. With a face full of smiles, he asked, "Miss Qiao, do you want to touch it again?"


    Qiao Liangjin laughed complacently when he saw her leaving with large strides. He then patted Xiao Rong''s face and said, "Hey, your rouge seems to be pretty good. Look at your little face. It''s raised so well."


    After that, he stuck it to Xiao Rong''s face and sniffed. It was strange, there was no fragrance, only a faint fragrance of gardenia.


    The spectators were all stunned.


    This female hooligan actually stuck her nose into the faces of the four beauties ranked in the top ten of the kingdom.


    A few women actually sat on the ground and started thumping their chests, saying, "Oh god, the Xiao Rong Festival that they''ve been thinking about day and night is no longer safe."


    Qiao Liangjin, of course, had also seen everyone''s reactions. She was very satisfied with everyone''s performance, but she had a bad impression of the women who were sitting on the ground and beating their chests. Their acting skills were simply too exaggerated.


    Xiao Rong gently pushed Xiao Rong away. Opening his mouth, he used his chin to point at the food box. Xiao Rong immediately picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Qiao Liangjin''s mouth.


    When Qiao Liangjin returned to the mansion, Chong Yuexin was standing at the door with Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er in tow.


    Qiao Linjian Jin jumped down from the chariot with a sound of "Gu Dong".


    The entire Prime Minister''s Palace shook a little.


    Xiao Rong hurriedly walked over and supported Qiao Lianjin. He asked softly, "Are you alright? Your feet don''t hurt, right?"


    Qiao Ya had already recognized Xiao Rong long ago, and her expression immediately turned terrible.


    She just stood quietly at the door, looking at the two of them.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao, I have no problem. You should hurry back, we''ll meet tomorrow."


    Xiao Rong didn''t seem to want to part with them, but it seemed that he didn''t want to disobey Qiao Liangjin. He could only reluctantly nod and leave with his food box.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand. Suddenly, Xiao Rong thought of something as he turned around and said while retreating, "I will personally cook and cook for you tomorrow. Don''t eat breakfast at home tomorrow morning!"


    There was another groan of grief from the crowd.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his palm and blew Xiao Rong a kiss.


    Unexpectedly, Xiao Rong actually caught his hand and pressed his palm against his chest.


    Qiao Liangjin was dumbfounded. Damn, how could this ancient person still do this? He did not know that this move was meant to kill the young girl!


    Could it be that this lord had also transmigrated, but it didn''t seem very likely.


    "Jin''er, can you come in now?"


    Qiao Liangjin laughed with his mouth wide open and nodded, "Of course you can, of course you can. Feel free to tell me whatever mother has to say."


    As he spoke, he swaggered into the Prime Minister''s residence.


    In the main hall, Zhen Zhen Zhen Xing sat on the armchair at the front, while Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er stood behind her.


    Qiao Liangjin also indifferently looked at her.


    Her cold eyes made her heart feel cold.


    "Jin''er, you''re already sixteen. Prince Ning has already sent someone to propose." Joan of Arc frowned slightly.


    According to the emperor''s decree, no one in the residence was allowed to leave. However, the appearance of the Ning Seal was outside of the emperor''s expectations.


    "So what if you propose? You can only be a second wife. "I''ve told you this a long time ago, clear it up ¡­"


    Zhen Yuxin slapped the tea table, and a loud sound startled Qiao Liangjin.


    "Nonsense! You''re the direct descendant of the Prime Minister and the face of the entire Prime Minister''s Hall! Look at how often you mess around, we won''t talk about anything else. You have three younger sisters and a younger brother. How did you set an example?" Zhen Zhen seemed to be really angry.


    "I also didn''t say that I want to be an example."


    Qiao Liangjin did not act like how you would, as he looked at the ceiling.


    She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to quell the anger in her heart.


    Don''t be angry, don''t be angry.


    "If the Seventh Marquis takes a fancy to Qiao Ya ¡­" Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his mouth to speak.


    When Qiao Ya heard this, she abruptly raised her head and glanced bashfully at Qiao Liang ¡­


    Qiao Ya''s face instantly turned red.


    Qiao Liangjin couldn''t help but grin when he saw the look of surprise and anger on Qiao Ya''s face.


    Look at the age when we were still in school, when we were trying to find a way to marry into the rich and handsome.


    He had to show them.


    "Jin''er, if a good girl doesn''t serve her second husband, you can only marry one person." "Old master means ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin yawned, then turned around and walked out of the room. "I''m so tired. I''m going to bed."


    She walked past Qiao Maoshan, who had just entered the door, and her large body even squeezed her uncle Qiao Maoshan a little.


    Qiao Maoshan was instantly unhappy, pointing at Qiao Liangjin''s back he scolded: "Truly a vertical pillar, truly a vertical pillar. Sister-in-law, look. "


    She then turned around and carefully looked at her chastity.


    Noble, perfect. What a beautiful woman. Qiao Mao Shan secretly praised him in his heart.


    Joan of Arc''s heart skipped a beat as she gracefully asked, "Uncle, why have you come?"


    "Next month is mother''s seventieth birthday. I''m here to discuss it with sister-in-law." Qiao Maoshan put down the violet clay teapot in his hand, his eyes still roving over Zhen Yuexin''s body.


    She suppressed her disgust and smiled to herself, "Master has always been busy with court affairs, so I will listen to Uncle."


    After finishing his discussion, Qiao Mao Shan walked straight towards the old woman''s room.


    Before he entered the room, he rubbed his eyes until they were red before he entered with his head lowered.

 C32 Visit of a Woman

    The old lady was currently eating the bird''s nest brought over by the servant. Seeing Qiao Maoshan, she hurriedly put down the bowl in her hands and called out to her youngest son: "Mao Shan, come come come."


    Once Qiao Mao Shan sat down, he did not raise his head.


    The old lady saw that something was wrong and was unhappy. "What happened?" When you came, you didn''t even spare mother a glance? "


    Only then did Qiao Maoshan raise his head.


    When the old lady saw how red her eyes were, she asked in distress, "What''s wrong? Why does it seem like she''s been wronged? Why does she seem to be crying?"


    Qiao Maoshan seemed to have been stabbed in the sore spot as he leaned into the old lady''s embrace, crying: "Mother, it''s all because of big brother''s ability. Everyone is laughing at me, saying that I did nothing."


    "Mom already told your big brother to find you a casual job." The old lady comforted her.


    "But how long has it been? Our big brother hasn''t made any move for a long time and our three members are almost unable to keep up with the news. And our big brother even wants to separate us from the family." Qiao Maoshan desperately pinched his thigh, trying his best to make himself shed more tears.


    When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly asked, "What''s going on? Why can''t we eat? Yun Chu, quickly go and get my silver taels. "


    Yun Gang answered and went to the inner room. Not long later, he came out with a bag of silver.


    The old lady passed it to Qiao Maoshan, shaking her head and saying: "Today when your big brother comes back, I will tell him that the Northern Courtyard that you used to live in is always empty. It will be back in two days."


    Qiao Maoshan weighed the silver in his hand before wiping away his tears and grinning: "Mother is still the best. Only mother is truly good to Mao Shan."


    The old lady patted Qiao Maoshan''s hand and said with a pained heart: "You are my mother''s best."


    Qiao Mao Shan hummed a song as he walked out from the main entrance. He saw Qiao Liangjin sitting at the entrance.


    "Jin''er, long time no see, this body ¡­" Qiao Mao Mountain sized up Qiao Lianjin. He really didn''t know how to praise him.


    "Second Uncle, it''s really been a while. Did it hurt when I bumped into you just now?" Qiao Liangjin stood up and hid his hands in his sleeves as he looked at his Second Uncle in front of him.


    Qiao Mao Shan, Moth. She said so.


    "How could that be? Second Uncle''s body is so tough."


    "That''s great. I thought I was going to crash into it, but I gave the gold earring that my dad gave me to second uncle, so I let it go." Qiao Liangjin shook the pair of gold earrings in his hand and kept them in his sleeves.


    When Qiao Mao Shan saw the gold earrings, he nearly slapped himself. He almost couldn''t hold back from lying on the ground, allowing Qiao Liang Jin to step over his body.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the regretful expression on Qiao Maoshan''s face and laughed in his heart.


    As long as they were human, they would have weaknesses. As long as they had weaknesses, they could be easily grasped.


    Shaking his head, he walked past Qiao Mao Shan.


    Leaving only Qiao Maoshan, whose heart was dripping with blood, standing at the door, letting out a long howl towards the sky before leaving gloomily.


    Ah Kuan followed Qiao Lianjin into the yard, and asked in confusion: "Miss, what are you doing? Didn''t we hate Qiao Mao Shan? "


    "It doesn''t matter if you hate him, there has to be a scapegoat in the family, right? For me, being kind to him meant that he lived all these years just for the sake of sacrifice. " Qiao Liangjin said meaningfully.


    Ah Kuan was even more confused, but seeing that the lady did not intend to elaborate any further, he could only stop.


    After lunch break, Pai Dai handed Qiao Liangjin a list and smiled, "Miss Cheng of the Shang Shu Manor, Miss Wang of the Minister of Rites'' family, and Miss Shui of the mighty General''s family have come to visit."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows slightly twitched and asked: "Have I interacted with them before? Do we know each other? "


    Dai Di thought about it and shook her head.


    He pushed the list to Pai Di, shook his head and said, "I don''t want to see them. They are all hypocritical fellows, what''s the point of seeing them?"


    She took the list and was about to refuse. Qiao Liangjin shouted again, "Wait, let''s see what they want from me. In any case, I have nothing better to do. "


    After tidying himself up and putting on a face of shock, Qiao Liangjin quietly leaned against the door, pretending to be a quail as he waited for the women to come over.


    As soon as the door opened, he heard the chattering of the three women. Qiao Liangjin sighed in admiration. The modern man was right. The three women were acting together.


    Three graceful women walked in front of Qiao Liangjin, as if they didn''t care about her earthly appearance. They all bowed: "Greetings, Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and smiled. "Let''s go, let''s go in."


    After the three of them sat down, Qiao Liangjin asked directly: "What business do you all have today?"


    The three girls looked at each other in dismay. Why was this girl so considerate? She didn''t say anything and directly asked them why they were here?


    A lady in a pink dress smiled and said, "My surname is Cheng and my name is Ying Ying."


    "Cheng Yingying, remember."


    "Little Queen Cui''er."


    "My daughter, Shui Duo." The yellow-clothed girl smiled. But he didn''t bow.


    Looking at the three girls in front of her, only Shui Du Ruoruo entered her eyes.


    "Hello, this is Qiao Liangjin." Qiao Liangjin introduced himself.


    The three girls burst out laughing.


    Shui Duruo shook her head and laughed, "I''ve long heard of Miss Qiao''s innocence and honesty. It''s really true that I''ve met her today."


    Qiao Liangjin frowned slightly. "We have not met in the General Zuo''s Estate?"


    The three women shook their heads at the same time.


    "No, why are you looking for me? Haven''t you heard that I''m the most lecherous and rogue woman in this Xuanyuan Royal City!" Qiao Liangjin reminded.


    Shui Du Ruo shook her head and smiled, "I''ve long heard of it, so what about it? This time, the three of us came because we heard about Young Master Xiao Rong''s first meeting and falling in love with you this morning. "


    "Later on, I heard that Prince Ning wanted to propose a marriage. "We want to ¡­"


    "I see. The three of you want to know what I did, right?" Qiao Liangjin immediately understood and pointed at three people with a naughty smile.


    In the end, the three women were not as thick-skinned as Qiao Liangjin. When their thoughts were hit, they lowered their heads.


    Qiao Liangjin picked up his own hair and asked with a bashful look: "Don''t you guys feel that this is my personal charm?"


    The three girls couldn''t help laughing out loud.


    Shui Du Ruo shook her head and smiled, "I never felt that it was due to young miss''s charisma. Could it be that xiaojie will infect him with a poison? "


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes. F * * k, how come I didn''t even know that I could use a Gu!


    "What Gu?" Lover Gu? I do want to, but I don''t. If I do, I''ll definitely be able to make a fortune. You guys hug a beautiful man while I sleep with money and treasure, how great is that! " A pile of gold and silver suddenly appeared in front of Qiao Liangjin''s eyes. He suddenly felt as if his chest had been struck by lightning. How come he didn''t know how to use Gu?


    The three women blinked, watching Qiao Liangjin''s actions, thumping his chest and hammering the round table, it seemed that he really didn''t know how to use the Gu.


    After chatting for a while, the three girls realized that they did not get what they wanted.


    However, the three girls realized that the girl in front of them seemed to be different from what the others were saying.


    After sending off the three women.


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, hopped in while dragging Spirit Swirls.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the little fox in dissatisfaction and asked, "Where did you go to play? Be careful, don''t lose the spiritual whirlpool that just recovered."


    Ling Xuan''s face reddened as he pursed his lips into a smile. "Don''t worry, Master. I won''t lose it. I''ll definitely follow Brother Yusheng well."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly let out a mischievous smile as he pinched Yu Sheng''s cheeks and asked, "Were you found by yourself as a wife?"


    Feeling the pain from Qiao Lianjin''s pinch, Yuesheng shouted loudly for help, "Aiyaya, Pastel Sis, Purple Smoke Sis, Ruo Lan Sis, come and save me!"


    Ling Xuan''s face turned even redder as he gently tugged on Qiao Liangjin''s skirt. "Master, can you let Brother Yusheng off?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled evilly and asked, "Are you heartbroken?"


    Ling Xuan''s face turned even redder as he obediently nodded his head.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and let go of Yu Sheng''s face.


    However, Yu Sheng glanced at the Spirit Swirl with a grumbling look.


    Qiao Yue-er stood at the entrance of the Flowermoney Pavilion, listening to the laughter of the children within. After some thought, she turned around and left.


    He was feeling really bad today.


    Everything she did was done on purpose. If it was him in the past, he would definitely not care at all. But why was he so angry today?


    Su Su Qing lowered her head and walked. Suddenly, a golden shoe appeared in front of her. She quickly retreated and bowed as she prepared her luggage.


    A pair of large hands supported the cleaning process.


    "Qing''er, what are you thinking about?"


    Su Su Qing raised her head and looked at Su Shun. ''Has he been waiting for me here for a long time?''


    "Your Majesty."


    "It''s time for me to grant you your marriage. Last time, you didn''t say anything. This time, I''ve decided to make the decision." Su Shun stared at the handsome man in front of him.


    Su Qingqing grinned, "I wonder which girl does Your Majesty think is suitable for your servant brother?"


    Su Shun smiled, "Yu Linglong."


    "If there really is a woman who is worthy of your servant brother''s refusal, then she must be a magnanimous and empathetic woman."


    "Oh? "According to what you said, you already have a lover?" Su Shun asked with a smile.


    Su Qing lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he raised his head and smiled brightly, "I, your brother, like Qiao Liangjin."


    "What?" The emperor has already decreed a remarriage? " Qiao Zheng stood up and paced back and forth.


    "Invite the Eldest Miss to the study quickly." Qiao Zheng called the butler to go get Qiao Liangjin.


    This piece of news was like a bomb that landed in the Prime Minister''s residence.


    Qiao Liangjin was also surprised. Marriage? Heh, this emperor is really bold. Using the Seventh Prince to balance Qiao Zheng, he wants to use the Seventh Prince to monitor the entire Residence. If anything happens, his head will probably fall off the fastest.


    Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Liangjin''s cold face, not knowing what she was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he softly said: "Jin''er, Daddy wants you to go to the Southern Kingdom."


    "Why?"


    "Prince Ning is more reliable."


    "I don''t want to go anywhere, so whoever wants to marry me will have to see if I''m willing or not. How can other people be able to handle my marriage?" Qiao Liangjin coldly snorted.


    This unscrupulous remark scared Qiao Zheng to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat.


    Yet he knew that his daughter had an idea more than anyone else.

 C33 Stealing Jade Stealing Incense

    Qiao Liangjin turned around and walked towards the door. He was about to push it open. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and said, "Dad, you don''t have to worry about this. Your daughter will find a way."


    Qiao Zheng sat powerlessly in his master''s chair and did not reply.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly hurt a little. Was this the feeling of caring for his family?


    Seeing him working so hard and carefully serving the exalted Emperor, he had to be careful that the hanging axe would one day land on his neck.


    Along the way, she only lowered her head to look at the pebbles at her feet. If she was born in troubled times, she could march and fight, becoming a flower magnolia with some achievements. However, Xuanyuan Kingdom had been peaceful for too long.


    After a long time, the emperor had the intention to kill this loyal prime minister.


    The moment he entered, Qiao Ruo Ying was already waiting at Flower Ginseng Pavilion. When she saw her younger sister return, she hastily went over and greeted her. "Little sister, the entire city is rumored to have said that the Emperor bestowed marriage on you."


    "It''s none of my business. It''s not like I''m going to marry. Who''s so cocky? Whoever likes that man will marry him. I''m not willing anyway."


    Qiao Liangjin sat by the table and leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.


    However, his brain was still working non-stop.


    Through the information in the waiter restaurant, she knew that the emperor was monitoring Qiao Zheng from all sides. Qiao Zheng was currently under one person and above everyone else. The emperor had not been able to appear until now. He only had the Seventh Prince as his younger brother.


    Giving the throne to his younger brother, afraid that his reputation would go awry, Qiao Zheng''s influence was too strong. Since ancient times, there had been too many stories about the monarchs who had broken the bridge after crossing it.


    Unknowingly, the tea had already overflowed from the cup.


    "Sister!" Qiao Ruo Ying held the teapot in Qiao Liangjin''s hand.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin realize that the teacup was already full. He smiled and said, "I was thinking about something and forgot about it. Big brother, how are your preparations? Why don''t you go to General Shui''s camp? "


    Qiao Ruo Ying was stunned. What was her little sister thinking? How could she just say what was on her mind?


    Qiao Ruoyin scratched her head and asked, "Why?"


    "It''s enough for you to go. I will naturally make the arrangements." "Brother, remember, you must be brave and fierce. You must work hard. We, the Prime Minister, must have a general. We are not greedy for this mountain, but we must be able to protect ourselves." Qiao Liangjin stood up and walked to the back of Qiao Ruo Ying. He then placed his hand on her shoulder.


    However, she pinched his shoulder.


    Encouraging, trusting, it was all in this one pinch. He hoped that the man before him wasn''t childish, and wasn''t simple.


    It was night.


    The window of Qiao Liangjin''s bedroom was gently pushed open and a red figure quietly entered the room.


    Gently walking to Qiao Liangjin''s bedside, he stared at the woman before him with a pair of passionate eyes.


    Her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyebrows were the color of smoke, her eyes were tightly shut, her eyelashes were long, her nose was small, and her lips were the color of cherry blossoms.


    The black shadow examined the woman on the bed.


    Seeing a strand of hair on his lips, he used his slender fingers to lightly brush it away.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes. The dagger in his hand was already slashing towards the red-clothed man.


    As if he knew what Qiao Liangjin was up to, the red clothed man dodged and dodged the dagger. He then turned around and hugged Qiao Liangjin from behind.


    "You''re so fierce." The man''s figure behind her was clear and bright.


    He leaned close to Qiao Liangjin''s ear and said those three words. The hot air that came out from his mouth caused goosebumps to form all over Qiao Liangjin''s body.


    "What do you want to do?"


    "Look at you, I miss you." Didn''t you go to sleep? Why did you suddenly wake up? " Laughter.


    However, he didn''t loosen his grip at all.


    "Are you trying to tarnish my reputation? "Darling?" Qiao Liangjin also laughed. Her body wasn''t as tense as before. She now knew who the person behind her was.


    "Darling?" The voice behind him said this word was unfamiliar, but it sounded very intimate.


    "Of course, His Majesty has already granted us a marriage. If we were to get married, wouldn''t I have to call you darling?" Qiao Liangjin slightly turned to the side.


    The clean red dress behind him smelled the fragrance of Qiao Liangjin''s hair, and also the faint fragrance of crabapple blossoms.


    He suddenly tried his best to hold Qiao Liangjin in his arms. He missed her so much. He had wanted to hug her like this since the day started.


    Feeling the man behind her hug her tightly, Qiao Liangjin was a little shocked. Although she didn''t mind being hugged, this was ancient times!


    I really want to... He had been taken advantage of.


    Qiao Liangjin said softly, "Why don''t you let me go? I''m not used to holding me like this."


    On the other hand, Su Qingqing was very generous and let go of Qiao Liangjin without any hesitation.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and stood in front of Su Qingqing.


    Face to face, she looked up, and he lowered his head.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand slowly crawled up his collar, lightly pulling his collar to bring his face close to hers.


    A pair of lips gradually approached hers, and a faint, fragrant scent assaulted his nostrils.


    Qiao Liangjin narrowed his eyes slightly. He had been thinking, "Kiss, or not?" Kiss, or not kiss?


    In the next second, he heard a muffled moan.


    Qiao Liangjin lifted his knee and pressed it against the important part of the man''s body.


    Qiao Liangjin snorted and turned on the lamp on the table, watching as he painfully retreated back to her bed.


    "Seventh Prince, this is your lesson. Remember, next time, don''t come visit me in the middle of the night. I like to tease you, but that doesn''t mean I have to touch you and take responsibility for you."


    Clearing the sweat on his forehead, he smiled helplessly. "You ¡­ Not afraid... "Influencing the future..."


    Qiao Liang''s eyebrows jumped as he smiled. "Who said that as long as I marry you alone, I''ll take in all the good-looking men. You can''t use them, so naturally, there will be others who can."


    Before Qiao Liangjin could finish his sentence, Qing Shui pulled Qiao Liangjin onto the bed.


    He endured the pain and looked down at Qiao Liangjin from above. Gritting his teeth, he said: "You can only marry me."


    "Hehe, this is the funniest joke I''ve ever heard. Don''t forget, Seventh Prince, you are a person of the Emperor, and I will definitely protect my father. We are not on the same path. "


    She drew circles on his chest with her slender fingers. She wasn''t worried about how excessive she would clean it up just now.


    She took a deep breath and lowered her head, hiding her nose between her neck and breathing in her scent.


    He really hoped that the girl in front of him wouldn''t be so unyielding and be so understanding.


    However, the person he liked was her!


    "Jin''er, wait for me."


    The red wind flew out from the room.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and walked to the window. He waved his hand and laughed: "I will wait for you."


    He turned around and lowered his head as he said, "I think I should install some traps at home. Or else, these people would always come and go. Qing Gong is really amazing!"


    "Whose Qing Gong is good?" Another voice entered Qiao Liangjin''s ears.


    Well, here comes another one.


    Qiao Liangjin looked up with a smile, "Prince Ning, it''s been a while. How are you?"


    Ning Ying''er, dressed in a black robe, moved to stand by the window with a smile on her face. "Little Gold, do you miss me?"


    "Yeah, yeah, I missed you so much that I wanted you to die!" Qiao Liangjin nodded his head vigorously.


    Ning Xi poked a spot on Qiao Liangjin''s nose and laughed, "Listen carefully, you think you miss me, and think about it again, you want me to die!"


    Opening his innocent eyes, Qiao Liangjin pretended to be naive and ignorant as he bit his finger.


    Ning Ying couldn''t help but laugh when he saw her expression.


    He gently removed her hand. He couldn''t help but kiss the back of her hand.


    "This emperor is really despicable. How can he bestow a marriage order for you to be cleansed? I feel that we are a match made in heaven, don''t you agree?" "Little Gold."


    "Actually, if you don''t mind, I''m really willing to marry the two of you to enter the sect." Qiao Liangjin had a serious look on his face.


    Ning Xi immediately acted as if she was heartbroken, holding her chest and asked, "Could it be that among the two of them, you don''t have one that you like the most?"


    He bit his finger and said, "In the future, if your family goes down, you two can either set up an escort office or go out and perform well. If not, you can be a servant, after all, you have good looks, right?"


    When Ning Ying heard this, he couldn''t help but laugh out loud. The white jade fan knocked on Qiao Liangjin''s head. "Do you know why I like you so much?"


    "Because I''m as beautiful as a flower." Qiao Liangjin said.


    "Hahahaha, I like your shameless attitude." Ning Xi sat on the windowsill.


    He patted the ground beside him and invited Qiao Lianjin, "Come up and sit for a while, I brought some pear blossoms. I hid the wine for ten years and got it from the Seventh Prince''s Mansion. Do you want to try it? "


    He opened the wineskin.


    The aroma of wine filled the air.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose and also sat on the windowsill. He picked up the wineskin and smelled it before sighing, "How great would it be if there was a dish like beef jerky or peanut!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Xi took out a bag of beef jerky from her sleeves and passed it to Qiao Liangjin. "It''s been prepared long ago."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled sweetly, raised the wineskin and took a sip. He then took a piece of beef jerky from the paper bag and threw it into his mouth, chewing on it carefully.


    He couldn''t help but exclaim, "Good wine and good meat, you really know how to enjoy it."


    Unknowingly, Qiao Liangjin had gotten a little tipsy.


    The feeling of the world spinning was really good. In the past, she was known as the Goddess of Death who didn''t get drunk!


    In her brief killer life, she had never been drunk, and she had never allowed herself to be drunk.


    Years of unbridled desire was to get drunk once and then talk to the people you liked.


    She looked at the pear tree in the courtyard and said with a smile, "Ningxi, do you believe it? I come from another world, I... "Actually, it''s not Qiao Liangjin. No, I think I was born to be her. It''s just that the soul in this bag is not Qiao Liangjin."


    With that, he pulled Ning Xi''s sleeve, raised his drunken, hazy eyes, and softly asked, "Do you believe me?"


    Ning Ying''s eyes fell on his slightly red face.


    Like the red apple, she really wanted to take a bite, to know how sweet it was.


    He raised his hand and caressed the top of her head, a beautiful smile blossoming on his face.


    How could he not believe it?


    He nodded slightly.

 C34 Love Rival Drinking

    Why not believe her unique style, the incomprehensible words she said, the poems, the songs, they were all so strange.


    Ning Xi looked at Qiao Liangjin with a smile. Suddenly, he felt that if he could truly hold hands with this interesting woman for his entire life, it would be a beautiful thing.


    Gently wiping the wine from the corner of Qiao Liangjin''s lips with his sleeve, he suddenly moved his face very, very close to Qiao Liangjin''s.


    Qiao Liangjin was startled by the sudden appearance of a handsome face and slightly retreated.


    Ning Ying suddenly froze. She was hiding from him.


    This sort of subconscious method had somewhat hurt him.


    He turned his head and smiled at Pear Tree: "Thank you, Big Miss Qiao, for drinking with me tonight." I shall take my leave now. "


    With that, he leaped up and stood on top of the wall. He then turned around to look at Qiao Liangjin and left.


    Qiao Liangjin maintained his shocked look, "Damn, these people''s Qing Gong are really not as good as the usual. Even after drinking so much, you still haven''t flown up the wrong wall.


    He suddenly burped and then howled in pain, "I lost weight for nothing today."


    The next day, just as Zi Yan entered the room, she opened the window and covered her nose as she said, "Miss, did you drink last night?"


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand lazily. "Don''t talk... I feel terrible. "


    The little fox squeezed through the gap between the doors and jumped onto the table. It looked around at the Mimosa Grass on the table and felt unsatisfied. It then used its claws to brush and pull it.


    The leaves of the Mimosa instantly folded together, and the little fox''s eyes curved in satisfaction.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his arm, pointed at the table and said: "Kick that dead fox out, I want to sleep!"


    The only sound that could be heard was the disgruntled chirping of the little fox as it protested. Then, the door was closed.


    The people of the Royal City had discovered something. This Qiao Liangjin was no longer going out for morning exercises on time.


    The people of King''s City protested against the daily topic of the Queen''s laziness.


    Thus, a few commoners came to the door and saw that there was no fat Qiao Liangjin nor her three maids. Not even that big chariot.


    Could it be ¡­ Was this female pervert sick?


    He stood quietly at the entrance of the palace, looking straight into the eyes, nose and heart.


    When he thought about what he had suffered last night, it was really painful. However, the corner of his lips slightly raised. He was getting more and more curious about Qiao Liangjin''s future performance.


    However, he was about to close the palace door, yet he still didn''t see that maverick girl. Traces of disappointment quietly engulfed his heart.


    How could someone as calm as him have such feelings?


    The fragrance from last night''s embrace still lingered at the tip of his nose.


    The corner of his mouth slightly raised. The citizens who came to watch the show every day suddenly saw Su Ming, who was standing by the door with his head lowered, and laughed.


    Almost everyone was dumbfounded.


    Was this person the Prince from the legends who was somewhat paralyzed?


    His face was calm and handsome, with a hint of a happy smile on it. The morning sunlight sprinkled on his long eyelashes. No matter how he looked at his calm and gentle face, it was always pleasant to look at.


    When a guard walked up to him and told him something, he looked at the distance with some regret. He nodded and turned around to enter the palace.


    Qiao Liangjin was so tired from sleeping that his waist was hurting. Only then did he lazily get up.


    Standing in the courtyard, he stretched his back and kicked his legs. He could feel that he had been drunk from drinking pear blossoms yesterday, and it seemed to be of some help to his internal energy.


    It was said that the Ning Family had been doctors for generations, so it was not unusual for them to add anything to the wine.


    He was just curious about why Ning Xuemo suddenly appeared in front of him. He had never seen her before.


    To suddenly treat him so well, if it was because Qiao Zheng wanted to marry him, then he treated him so well.


    Haha, it''s not bad to trick an idiot like Qiao Yue-er.


    Yu Sheng, who had materialized into a human form, carefully brought out the Mimosa Flower Pot and placed it on the stone table in the yard. He rested his chin on his hands as he quietly sat to the side.


    He kept shaking his head as he looked at his mistress who was mysteriously sitting there.


    How could such a frightening thing still be alive and healthy? It even had some blood ties with him. What a shame, he had to stay by the side of this crazy, hot and cold woman for a long time.


    Look, look at the clothes you''re wearing, twisting around and around, just how proper is that? I hope that the Spirit Swirl won''t learn it this way in the future.


    He rubbed the leaves of the Mimosa Grass and softly said, "Spirit Swirls, don''t learn this woman''s method."


    The Spirit Swirl retracted its leaves and lightly swayed its body as if it was shaking its head.


    Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. He raised his head and pouted as he looked at Qiao Liangjin, who had her back facing him.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face was full of smiles as he looked at Yuesheng, with his hands behind his back.


    The pimples on his forehead grew bigger and bigger as he touched them. He could not help but pout his lips as tears began to well up in his beautiful almond-shaped eyes.


    "Cry, why don''t you cry? Let me see you cry. See if my heart hurts or not."


    "Oh yeah, there''s still the Spiritual Swirl. We have to show it to the Spiritual Swirl."


    At the mention of Spirit Swirls, Yu Sheng forcefully kept his tears away.


    He didn''t want to cry in front of a girl, he was the boss of a Spirit Swirl, how could he cry in front of a little brother?


    Yuesheng stared with her round eyes and said angrily, "I will never shed a tear in the future. Not a single drop. "I swear."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and threw the small stone he was carrying on his back onto the ground.


    The little fox was very cute, but just like a child, it sometimes had to be taught a lesson.


    He clasped his hands behind his back and laughed complacently into the sky. Kuan sneaked in and hid behind a pear tree, hooking his fingers at Qiao Liangjin.


    "What are you doing?" she asked, looking up at his comical face. "Sneaking around."


    Ah Kuan chuckled, scratched his head and said, "There''s something that''s been announced outside."


    "What is it?" Everyone in the yard was curious and spoke in unison.


    He took out a piece of paper from his bosom, cleared his throat, and then said, "It is said that the leader of the legendary gods and ghosts, Miss Qiao Liangjin, did not appear at the entrance of the palace on time, and the Seventh Prince, who has always been known for his cold face, actually waited all this time for the door to close."


    "According to reliable sources, when he was waiting for someone to show up, he showed a mysterious smile!"


    "Mysterious smile? Are you infatuated with her? "Who wrote this, it''s so disgusting." Qiao Liangjin yawned.


    Leaning against the swing, swaying from side to side, she thought of last night''s embrace, of the faint scent of pine.


    F * ck, am I crazy too? Qiao Liangjin shook his head.


    That red figure, that aura that was hugging her, shook her head, attempting to shake it out of her mind.


    Then, thinking of the face that suddenly approached hers, she laughed at herself.


    Could it be that he had gotten some sort of luck?


    It wouldn''t be bad to have a few more of these beauties.


    Late at night, Qiao Liangjin was leaning against the window with one hand on his chin, watching the drizzle outside.


    It was really autumn, a cold autumn rain, but Qiao Liangjin loved this kind of rain weather.


    Ye Zichen reached out his hand with the palm of his hand, causing a dense drizzle to fall onto her palm.


    The two figures landed in the yard at the same time.


    Qiao Liangjin heard the sound of footsteps and stood up. "Pa!" He closed the window.


    This ancient person was truly interesting. In broad daylight, he couldn''t swagger over to see her. He definitely had to sneak around in the middle of the night.


    Hey, she didn''t want to get them used to it.


    "Princes, it''s raining heavily outside. Can I trouble you to go back to your own homes and look for your mothers?"


    Su Qing quietly stood under the pear tree. She looked at the window and suddenly smiled.


    This woman was becoming more and more adorable.


    Ning Ying laughed out loud, raised the umbrella in his hand, turned around and asked, "Seventh Prince, why don''t we go have a drink together? I have some good pear blossoms here. "


    "How did the wine I took from my residence become your wine?" She suddenly opened her mouth and spoke. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with a smile, but that smile did not reach the bottom of her heart.


    "I added some ingredients, so it will naturally be better to drink some, so it won''t be yours. Don''t be so stingy, Seventh Prince. " Ning Ying leaped lightly and flew up the wall.


    Qiao Liangjin opened a small crack quietly and watched the movements of the two people in the yard.


    Ning Xian stood on the wall, an oil-paper umbrella held up by his white robes. He wore a wide robe, and his long black hair fluttered in the wind.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly beat faster. He couldn''t help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. How cool!


    Qing Shui noticed Qiao Liangjin''s actions and smiled towards the window. Even if she couldn''t see him, so what? As long as he smiled, everything would be fine.


    The red-clothed old man also flew up onto the wall, cupping his hands and smiling as he said, "Then, I''ll have to accept your offer."


    Ayaya yaya, why are you so handsome today? No matter how I look at it, the cleanliness of your red clothes is very sultry.


    Qiao Liangjin held onto his chest and said softly, "Calm down, isn''t it just two pieces of sh * t?"


    After the two of them had left, she pushed open the window somewhat desolately.


    Leaning against the window, she pouted and said with a hint of bitterness, "This is really strange. Logically speaking, when love rivals meet, they would be extremely furious. The two of them must be fighting. How could they actually cherish each other and go out to drink together?"


    She scratched her hair, and suddenly raised her head, exclaiming: "Could it be that these two are gay? Ah, my god. Ah, Broken Sleeve! "


    Thinking of this, she felt guilty because she had closed her window, and from then on, there was an extra couple in the world.


    Ning Xi and Su Su Su Qing, who were sitting in Luo Yuan Tower, sneezed.


    They didn''t know that in this short period of time, Qiao Liangjin''s little mind had already imagined the scene where the two of them were sleeping together.


    Ning Ying seemed to be very familiar with this restaurant. She walked in front and cleared the path to the third floor, turned a corner, then walked across a long bamboo bridge and arrived at a building.


    Just as he sat down, the waiter was about to close the window. He raised his hand and the waiter immediately left the room.

 C35 Chuckling

    "Prince Ning, it seems like this Luo Yuan Tower is an estate under your name." Qing Qing sat at the table.


    Ning Xi also sat down and took off the wineskin at her waist, shaking it, her eyes slightly narrowed, "Did Jin''er not appear today? Do you know why? I drank this fine pear blossom with you last night. "


    Xiao Yan''s gaze turned cold and his brows knit together inconspicuously.


    "Seventh Prince''s Mansion''s Pear Blossom Drunken Wine is truly a great wine. Last night, Jin''er drank quite a bit, so she didn''t appear in front of the imperial palace today. Presumably ¡­ Your highness should get used to seeing Jin''er at the entrance of the palace from now on. "


    "What do you mean?"


    "Seventh Prince, how could you not be aware of His Majesty''s wariness towards Qiao Zheng? "I already said that you will accompany Jun Ruoru. Do you think that Qiao Zheng will marry his beloved daughter off to you and that one day, when the entire family is tied up in the execution grounds, his daughter will follow along?"


    Her clear eyes turned slightly cold, and a cold expression gradually surfaced in those eyes that were as deep as the night sky.


    The emperor was already fearful of Qiao Zheng who was below him for more than a day.


    All these years, he had been secretly monitoring the Prime Minister''s residence with his feathered eagle.


    Qiao Zheng had too many supporters in the civil and court over the years. As an emperor, he was the one who he did not want to see the most, especially one that had no descendants.


    "What would you do if the prime minister were to go to prison one day?" Ning Xian poured the wine from the wineskin into a white jade cup.


    The waiter brought in some food and wine, then closed the door and left quietly.


    "On one side is your Xuanyuan Dynasty, on the other is Qiao Liangjin and her family." Ning Ying still had a beaming smile on his face.


    Clearing the silence, he drank up all the wine in the cup in one gulp.


    Seeing that it was so quiet, Ning Xi also drank up the contents of the cup in one gulp and continued, "As for me, I can use all my power in the Southern Kingdom to save the prime minister and her brother for her."


    Ning Ying finished the cup of wine, and then stared at the still silent figure in front of him, forcing him to ask, "Can you? Can you resist your brother, the Son of Heaven today? "


    After clearing his silence, he suddenly smiled, "Aren''t you afraid that after you say that, you will never have the chance to return to the Southern Kingdom?"


    That smile was bone-chilling cold.


    Ning Ying waved his hand without a care. "You''ve been lonely for so long, and with an opponent like me who''s on par with you, you''re willing to let me die."


    Su Su Qing stared at Ning Ying. The white robed Ning Ying was elegant and free, with an imposing heroic air. The outline of his face was indeed a rare talent.


    He had long since heard that this king with a different surname and the legendary Sixth Prince were both dragons and phoenixes among men.


    Every word he said was a poke at his sore spot.


    If that day really came, would he be able to stand by Qiao Liangjin''s side and betray his brother?


    He was not sure if his feelings for Qiao Liangjin could go this far.


    But when he saw the confident Ning Ying in front of him, he felt really unhappy.


    The spinning cup in his hand flew out of his palm.


    Ning Ying slightly leaned to the side and dodged the cup flying over from the other side, playfully watching the cleaning up.


    "Seventh Prince wants to try some martial arts?" "Then I won''t be polite." With that, he slammed his palm on the table.


    The waiter who was squatting at the door couldn''t help but draw circles when he heard the sound of the table shattering. "High-quality Pear Blossom Huang, top-quality White Jade Cup, top-quality sandalwood grandmaster chair ¡­"


    The next day.


    The Seventh Prince, who always held court at the same time every day, unexpectedly did not appear at the door.


    Qiao Liangjin was no longer interested in going to the Imperial Palace to clean it up.


    However, when the news came, Qiao Lianjin, who was combing his hair, only paused for a moment.


    Her watery eyes were filled with indifference.


    It wasn''t a big deal if they didn''t go to court now and then.


    On the other hand, Xiao Rong was now the most troublesome person to deal with. Every day, he would stand at the door with a box and deliver breakfast and dinner.


    Qiao Liangjin had a taste of his craftsmanship; it was indeed very good. He didn''t expect a young master from a rouge shop would have such craftsmanship.


    It wasn''t bad to marry a man like this and live an ordinary life.


    Just as he was thinking, he heard the voices of Ah Kuan and Muse from the distance. They seemed to be arguing about something.


    He combed the hair of the Spirit Swirl properly.


    He quietly floated to the corner and carefully listened to the argument between the two.


    This simply satisfied her curiosity.


    Ah, Ah Kuan likes makeup!


    However, Pai Dai could not understand Kuan''s words. She actually gave the letter to Bai, asking him to translate it.


    Bai already said, this spring hasn''t even arrived yet, why is there people getting restless?


    This sentence caused Pang Dai''s face to turn red. She grabbed Ah Kuan''s ear and started to teach him a lesson.


    The more Qiao Liangjin heard, the happier he became. He almost couldn''t hold back his laughter.


    He had never seen Ah Kuan look so dejected at this moment.


    It was also the first time she had seen this tigress.


    Sigh, if only I had a phone, I could take pictures of them.


    Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and entered his room. He took out a Xuan paper, thought for a moment, picked up the brush, and began writing.


    He waited until Pink came back, and saw Qiao Liangjin on the desk. He did not know what to do, so he went over to her.


    "Miss, what are you drawing?" Only a rough outline could be seen.


    "You''ll know when the painting is finished." Qiao Liangjin''s lips were filled with a proud smile.


    Although I can''t make video, but I can paint ah, my painting skills are good ah.


    The more Qiao Liangjin thought about it, the happier he became. His calligraphy brush seemed to be full of spirit.


    Qiao Liangjin only stopped when it was already evening. He stretched his back and greeted everyone with a smile, "I''ve finished drawing. Everyone, come and take a look."


    The people from Flower Gold Pavilion all walked over curiously.


    Qiao Liangjin shook off the paper.


    In the pavilion, a man was half-kneeling. A pink-clothed woman was tugging at the man''s ear, as if she was saying something.


    Zi Yan''s eyes were the sharpest, so she was able to tell at a glance. She smiled. "Isn''t this Muse and Ah Kuan?"


    Dai Di also saw the look on their faces and blushed. She wanted to snatch the painting, but Qiao Liangjin blocked her.


    "Hey hey hey, stop fighting over it. This painting of mine is going to pay a price." Qiao Liangjin did not miss the opportunity to make money.


    Pointing at the painting, he asked the similarly flushed Ah Kuan, "How much are you willing to pay for this?"


    Ah Kuan stretched out his palm.


    "Five liang?" "Deal!" Qiao Liangjin quickly took the painting and passed it to A-Kuan.


    She stamped her foot and ran out, covering her face.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Dai Li''s back and snorted, "It was originally a mother''s yaksha. How could it pretend to be innocent? "Pfft."


    The group of people laughed for a long time before dispersing.


    It was raining again.


    Qiao Liangjin smelled the moist air and slowly started to work his Tai Chi.


    She was the only one in the long corridor, quietly pushing and shoving.


    A clear sound suddenly appeared behind Qiao Liangjin. "What a strange action."


    Qiao Liangjin was startled by the sudden sound, but he was immediately pulled back and held tightly in his arms.


    "Seventh Prince, please behave yourself."


    "No, Jin''er, I missed you." He was still motionless, but the strength in his hand was a little bit stronger. It even hurt Qiao Liangjin.


    She frowned slightly, trying to get away from his embrace.


    "Don''t move, just hug him."


    "Seventh Marquis, although I once adored your looks and appearance, it doesn''t mean that you can come and take advantage of me at any time."


    "Jin''er, marry me." She took a deep breath and said softly.


    Qiao Liangjin''s body stiffened again, and he sneered: "Seventh Prince, thanks to His Majesty''s kindness, using this kind of method to monitor whether my Prime Minister''s house will turn around, it''s really tiring, and I''ll have to spend the rest of my life there."


    Su Qing was stunned for a moment.


    Feeling the stiff movements of the people behind him, Qiao Liangjin was able to struggle free from his embrace, he turned around and threw a punch towards them.


    Su Qing didn''t dodge but instead forcefully caught her punch.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his fist and sneered: "Expert..." An expert even ¡­ "


    Under the lantern in the long corridor, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be scars on the corner of her mouth.


    She felt a little strange. She had punched him in the chest just now. But where did the scar at the corner of his mouth come from?


    Her hand unconsciously crawled up his face, and she curiously touched the corner of his mouth as she asked, "Aiyo, you got beaten up."


    "Hmph, he''s also quite injured." Su Chen cleared his head, not wanting Qiao Liangjin to see his wound.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously: "Him? Him? Did the two of you fall out because you didn''t agree on the price? I told you before, you two definitely can''t be together. "


    Qing Qing heard Qiao Liangjin''s words and could not help but turn around. She looked down at Qiao Liangjin and asked: "What about him? "What''s the price?"


    Qiao Liangjin naturally knew that this simple Ancient man definitely wouldn''t understand. He quickly waved his hand and laughed: "Aiya, it''s fine, it''s fine. But since you guys are fighting, why don''t you let me take a look? Maybe I can learn a bit."


    Another person''s laughter came from the top of the wall, "Since Jin''er likes watching fights, I''ll definitely show it to you next time."


    Qiao Liangjin immediately turned around happily and waved towards the wall. "Come down, Ning Xian. Get down. I want to see how serious your injuries are."


    The white robe on the wall clearly paused for a moment, but at the same time, he obediently floated down from the top of the wall.


    Qiao Liangjin took advantage of the lantern''s light to see that the corner of his eye had turned green. He finally couldn''t hold back his laughter anymore, and he held his stomach and laughed out loud.


    Su Qing and Ning Ying obviously knew that this woman would smile without a care in the world, so they didn''t feel awkward. They just looked at each other as if they appreciated each other.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed for a long time. Finally, he straightened his back and held onto the pillar as he said: "If the people of the Royal City knew that you two fought over me, would they hate me to death? I really look forward to it!"


    However, Ning Ying smiled while holding her arm. "I''ve always felt that you''re worth anything."


    Qiao Liangjin''s body trembled. He quickly scratched his back and said with a smile: "Quickly stop, don''t make me nauseous, really."


    At this moment, the expression in Ning Ying''s eyes dimmed slightly. Some heartfelt words were said in a joking manner, but the other side thought that he didn''t care. What could be more depressing than this?

 C36 Be Taken out of Town

    Qiao Liangjin looked at the god-like men standing on both sides of him and waved his hand, "You guys can go back. I promise that tomorrow I will spread the news of your fight for love."


    "I don''t mind." Ning Xi indifferently tapped the fan on her palm.


    "It''s best if you don''t mind. It''s late at night and I''ve finished practicing Taiji. It''s time to go to sleep." I''ll have to trouble you to come and see me during the day. What?


    Su Qing nodded obediently and flew out of the yard.


    Ning Ying looked at the back before taking out a golden flute and handing it over to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin took the flute and sized it up. Then, his face sank: "What do you mean? To play the flute? "


    Ning Ying''s expression froze, and he earnestly explained, "This is a flute."


    After Ning Ying had left, Qiao Liangjin took out the golden flute and sized it up. It was said that this flute could be exchanged for the secret guards by Ning Ying''s side. He truly looked amazing.


    He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, but he could still smell the faintly discernible fragrance of pine.


    It was annoying, being held in the arms of the same man twice.


    Moreover, he was the brother of the man he hated the most.


    The more Qiao Liangjin thought about it, the more stuffy he felt.


    He covered his face with the blanket.


    It had been three days since Miss Qiao had appeared at the entrance of the palace.


    However, the people of the capital discovered that Miss Qiao had appeared in the most famous restaurant in the capital, the "Small Building in the Water Country", a cosmetics shop.


    Xiao Rong was smiling as he watched Qiao Liangjin eat the delicacies he made. It was a type of blissful enjoyment.


    The citizens of the capital were surrounding the small building in the water, spreading the news everywhere. Big Miss Qiao had slept enough with the Seventh Prince, so now they had to move out of love.


    Qiao Liangjin was full of delicacies. Just as he was about to ask Pai Dai to pour tea for him, Xiao Rong brought him a teacup.


    Wow, this man should be a typical warm-hearted man, right?


    Qiao Liangjin was picking his teeth without concealing anything as he sized up Xiao Rong.


    Xiao Rong, on the other hand, looked like he was allowing her to pick whatever she wanted. He sat opposite her, his eyes filled with Qiao Liangjin''s expression.


    She was so beautiful. She looked so elegant when she ate. Why did she burp so well?


    This man seemed to be really tempted. Qiao Liangjin had eaten his fill and was thinking about other things.


    What should I do? I just like to eat the food that he makes. Even though he is considered the fourth most beautiful man in Xuanyuan Royal City, I feel that this food is really important.


    She couldn''t possibly eat every day without interacting with him at all.


    Just as he was thinking about how he could take his leave, a commotion broke out at the entrance.


    A purple-clothed Su Qing quietly stood at the door.


    Eh, why is this guy here? Qiao Liangjin was no longer picking his teeth as he watched the door being cleared quietly.


    The citizens of the capital were getting happier and happier. Look, this matter was getting bigger and bigger.


    Qing Qing didn''t seem to plan to do anything, she just sat there quietly, looking at Qiao Liangjin with a smile in her eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt as if the stool under his butt had grown a thorn. Why didn''t he feel comfortable sitting on it?


    He finally began to sigh and stood up.


    Ye Zichen walked to the door with his fat body, then looked at Xiao Rong with reluctance and said, "Then I''ll be leaving first."


    Xiao Rong nodded and prepared to help Qiao Lianjin onto her chariot.


    He cleared the area and stood in front of the war chariot.


    What do you mean?


    Her clear smile suddenly became very bright. "Jin''er, the empress dowager hasn''t seen you in a long time. She wants to see you."


    So she was here on orders. Qiao Liangjin''s heart finally settled down as he turned to smile at Xiao Rong. He extended a hand and said, "Young Master Xiao, can you pick out a beautiful rouge for me? I''ll bring the palace to the empress dowager."


    Xiao Rong hurriedly turned around and walked into the store. Not long later, he brought out three boxes of cosmetic powder, large and small. He placed them in an exquisite basket and passed them to Ruo Lan.


    A sliver of unhappiness flashed across his clear eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin pushed away Su Qingqing, who was standing next to the chariot. He was about to clumsily climb onto the chariot, but she held his arm and said with an irresistible force, "Get on my chariot."


    Qiao Liangjin was silent for a moment. Looking at the hand that was holding his arm, he said lightly: "Seventh Prince, I don''t really like your car. The smell is too strong."


    He cleared his eyebrows and raised them slightly. Smells? What smell?


    Turning around, he saw Hong Liang with his chin held high as he stared at Qiao Liangjin provocatively.


    Qing Qing''s complexion immediately became gloomy.


    She stared coldly at Hong Liang.


    Hong Liang who was originally holding his head high suddenly felt a chill down his spine and his entire body shivered.


    Lu Li appeared out of nowhere and disappeared with Hong Liang in an instant.


    Only then did his clear complexion ease up a little, and he pointed at the carriage and said, "This time there''s no taste."


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit unwilling, but he knew that he had better not. He got off his chariot and got on the clean carriage.


    Qing Qing waited for Qiao Liangjin to get on the carriage before transforming into the coachman. She lightly raised the horsewhip and made a loud whip dance in the air.


    The horse carriage slowly drove through the streets of the Royal City.


    Qiao Liangjin sat in the horse carriage and looked at the facilities inside with a bored expression.


    It had to be said that this clearing up was truly an enjoyable affair.


    It was this mat, and it was also a high-quality palace embroidery. The Emperor doted on this little brother of his as much as he did on his own son.


    Looking at the small table in front of her, she knocked the table. It looked like it was made of iron, but also had a wooden sheen to it. Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment.


    If Qing Qing knew that Wu Mu, who was at the bottom of the sea, was treated like a piece of ironwood chopstick, she would definitely vomit blood in anger.


    There was a pot of tea under the table. She took it out and took a sniff. It was one of her favorite golden tassels. Eh, how did he know that she liked to drink this tea?


    He poured himself a cup and smacked his lips in satisfaction. It was better to be a rich man, especially a relative of the royal family.


    After drinking the tea, he felt a little sleepy and closed his eyes, waiting for the carriage to arrive at the palace.


    It was strange, however, that after being in the carriage for such a long time, they had yet to arrive at the imperial palace.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled open the curtain and found that the carriage had arrived outside the capital.

 C37 Broiling

    Qiao Liangjin''s face instantly turned cold.


    "Stop the car."


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s voice, Su Chen stopped the carriage and turned to ask: "What''s wrong?"


    "Didn''t you say you were going to see the empress dowager? What are you doing?"


    "There''s a place for barbecue." After clearing up, he turned around and continued driving the carriage.


    "Barbecue ¡­" Qiao Liangjin muttered to himself.


    How did he know the word barbecue?


    Putting down the curtain, Qiao Liangjin sat back down quietly.


    Her heart suddenly felt a little hot, but she could not tell what it was about.


    After a while, the carriage finally stopped and the curtain to the door was pulled open. After clearing up the heaven angering face, the carriage appeared in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    "Get out."


    Qiao Liangjin then slowly got off the carriage.


    It was indeed a suitable place for a barbecue. There was a small stream, green trees, fallen leaves all over the ground and a swing not too far away.


    There was an empty space with a grill.


    Qiao Liangjin narrowed his eyes. A barbecue rack?


    She walked over to take a look at it. Although it was different from her era, it still looked a bit similar.


    He sat on a small stool that he had prepared.


    Qiao Liangjin watched as Qing Shui placed the charcoal into the grill, and then he placed the grilled meat on the grill on top of the red willow, and slowly turned it over.


    The two of them did not speak, and the entire scene was so quiet that only the sounds of birds could be heard.


    Qiao Liangjin finally coughed and said: "You ¡­ How did you know about the barbecue? "


    "I suddenly thought of it." How could he have told her that he had listened to her when he was a fox?


    "Oh, it seems that your imagination is quite good." Qiao Liangjin propped his chin up with both hands as he looked at the serious look on the grilled meat in front of him.


    He''s so good-looking.


    She quite liked the way the barbecue was being cleaned up right now.


    He was still in a daze, looking at the beautiful man in front of him.


    "What?"


    "Wipe your saliva. It''s all out."


    "Damn, this is too embarrassing."


    It was a blissful feeling to eat the grilled meat.


    Su Qing also gently bit down on the roasted meat on the red willow branch. After eating a mouthful, she nodded and smiled, "It really is quite delicious."


    "Seventh Prince."


    "Tell me to clean up."


    "Seventh Prince, how did you know about the barbecue?"


    "Clean up."


    "Seventh Prince, you''re really strange!"


    "Clean up."


    "Seventh Prince, do you have any wine? It''s best if it''s your family''s Pear Blossom that''s drunk. It''s really delicious and you don''t want it."


    "Clean up."


    "Seventh Prince, if you keep making trouble, I''m leaving."


    "Hey, Lu Li, bring the wine over."


    Qiao Liangjin looked on in satisfaction as Bu Fang cleared his throat. He ate the barbecue in big mouthfuls.


    Lu Li, on the other hand, kept swallowing his saliva.


    This was the first time Qiao Liangjin saw Lu Li, and he immediately stood up.


    He took two steps forward and stood in front of Lu Li. He pinched Lu Li''s chest muscles and punched him twice before saying with starry eyes, "Wow, Uncle, your figure is really amazing!"


    His complexion immediately changed.


    Lu Li was busy avoiding Qiao Liangjin''s Demon Claw, while showing an expression of helplessness and despair.


    Rulan, who was not far away, looked at Lu Li, who was blushing, and Qiao Liangjin, who was touching his chest.


    Qiao Liangjin felt the urge to kill. He smiled awkwardly and let go of Lu Li.


    He then handed Lu Li five kebabs of roasted meat and said with a smile, "Uncle, the roasted meat is delicious. I can hear you gulping down your saliva. You''re welcome."


    Lu Li still had a look of despair on his face as he looked at her.


    Su Qingqing closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. Then, she opened her eyes and smiled. She waved her hand and said, "Miss Qiao wants you to eat. Just eat it."


    Lu Li took the skewers and wiped his tears as he muttered, "I''m only 27 years old!"


    After lunch, Qiao Liangjin was lying in his hammock, belching loudly.


    She seemed to remember once telling a story to a servant girl.


    She said the barbecue felt the best at the creek.


    Zi Yan asked what the barbeque was about, so she drew what the barbeque rack looked like.


    She then explained in detail about the seasoning and how to marinate the meat. After that, she shook her head in pity and said, "It seems like I won''t have the chance to taste it in my lifetime."


    At this point, she revealed an expression of longing and said, "The barbeque is over. I''m not willing to use heaven to exchange for another sleep in the hammock!"


    The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and onto her face. She extended her slender fingers to block the sunlight.


    In those days, the happiest time was probably when he was in junior high school and had a picnic with his parents and brothers.


    If nothing unexpected happened, her hands would not be stained with so much blood.


    Now that it was this era, although there were battles within the walls, they were all small fights and she did not care.


    The only thing he was wary of was his brother.


    She tilted her head to look at the quiet stream and slightly frowned.


    Fine, she admitted. She was tempted today.


    What she did not know was that her heart had been beating fast since that night.


    Forget it, let''s not think about it anymore. Her assets have already taken up a third of the capital''s market. If the emperor were to suddenly make a move on Qiao Zheng, she would have a way to save him.


    "What are you thinking about?" A clear sound rang out.


    Qiao Liangjin replied without opening his eyes: "Seventh Prince, I want my brother to go to General Might''s barracks, do you think there''s any way?"


    "Why? Prime Minister Qiao is a civil servant, shouldn''t Qiao Ruoyin be a civil servant? "


    "Brother likes to dance with swords and spears. Naturally, it is not suitable for me to walk the path of a scholar. I would rather go to the battlefield, what do you think?"


    "If you''re not worried, I can talk to General Mighty about it. It''s just that, in the recent days, there have been some disturbances at the border of the Eastern Kingdom. "Relax?"


    "A man is always determined. If my brother can''t even protect himself at a time like this, how can we rely on him?" Qiao Liangjin replied with his eyes closed as he stood to the side, blocking the sunlight.


    After a moment of silence, the clear and sonorous voice rang out once more, "If you believe me, I can protect you."


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth twitched, but he did not answer.


    How did he answer that he never trusted any man?


    Other than herself, she would not trust anyone else.


    When he woke up, he found that he was already on the carriage, which was slowly moving.


    He could actually sleep so soundly, what a pig.


    Qiao Liangjin touched his belly and felt that it really felt like it weighed 3 Jin.


    Were these men not disdainful of being fat?


    The horse carriage stopped at the entrance of the Residence of General. Just as Qiao Liangjin got off the horse carriage, he raised his head to see a dark expression on Qiao Zheng''s face.


    Qiao Zheng could not understand how Qiao Liangjin was able to get down from the carriage, the sky had already begun to darken.


    If this were to spread, how would she marry Ning Xi in the future?


    Qiao Zheng did not even look at him as he cleared his throat and glanced at Qiao Liangjin before turning to enter the mansion.


    Chastity shook her head in disappointment as she followed Qiao Zheng into the manor.


    At this moment, Qiao Maoshan had a face full of courtesy as he walked in front of Su Qingqing, smiling as he greeted: "Seventh Prince, you''ve come. Thank you for sending my niece home. Why don''t you come to the mansion and drink a cup of tea? My big brother''s temper ¡­"


    "No, thank you."


    Without another word, Lu Li cleaned up and got on the horse carriage. He then drove the horse carriage and left.


    Qiao Liangjin looked strangely at Qiao Maoshan, puzzled. "Why are you here?"


    "Niece, your grandma said to move our family back. Isn''t that what you said?" Qiao Mao Shan explained with a smile.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and entered the mansion.


    Alright, it seems like this house is quite lively.


    Just as he entered the mansion, he saw the butler standing at the entrance of the Flower Glow Pavilion. He said, "Miss, Master has asked for your presence in the study."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and signaled for Ruo Lan to go back first. He then followed the butler to the study room.


    Just as he entered, Qiao Liangjin was about to happily greet him when he heard Qiao Zheng''s stern voice. "Kneel!"


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes. Did he hear it right? Why didn''t I say anything? Just let me kneel down.


    "Father, why did you kneel?" Qiao Liangjin stood there steadily.


    "Jin''er, you know what I''m doing."


    "Father, let me ask you. What are your thoughts on Xuanyuan Empire?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Dad, you understand."


    "To eat the king''s food is to worry about the king."


    "If I had the chance to make you Emperor, what would happen to you?" Qiao Liangjin asked coldly.


    With a "peng" sound, Qiao Zheng slammed his palm onto the desk. His eyes were wide open as he pointed furiously at Qiao Liangjin. "You ¡­" Unfilial daughter, how can you think like this? "


    Qiao Liangjin scrutinized the furious Qiao Zheng and suddenly laughed. "Take it as if our daughter had said something unpalatable in her madness."


    When Qiao Zheng heard this, he let out a breath of relief and sat back down dejectedly in his chair. His entire body was slightly dispirited as he leaned back in his teacher''s chair.


    "Jin''er, disaster comes from the mouth. You don''t know, it''s very difficult for dad to stay in this position." Qiao Zheng''s voice was a little weak.


    Qiao Liangjin walked in front of Qiao Zheng and gently placed his hand on Qiao Zheng''s knee. He raised his head and said softly, "Father, even if you escape unscathed, that person will not let you go.


    Qiao Zheng stared incredulously at his daughter who was only sixteen years old. She already knew everything and it turned out that she knew everything.


    "You ¡­"


    "Even though your daughter likes to cause trouble sometimes, it doesn''t mean that your daughter doesn''t understand the affairs of the world. "Dad, you''ve underestimated Jin''er." Qiao Liangjin laughed very innocently.


    Qiao Zheng shook his head slightly and patted Qiao Liangjin''s head. "Listen to father, marry Ning Xi, go to the Southern Kingdom, and bring your brother along."


    "What about you? "What about the others?"


    "As long as you two remain, our Qiao family will have a successor." When Qiao Zheng said this, his eyes dimmed.


    Accompanying a lord like a tiger, perhaps one day, he really would execute an entire family of them. He had truly let down others and wanted to accompany him on his journey.


    "Although I don''t like many people in the Prime Minister''s Estate, they are all my family. Father, don''t give up so easily. Your daughter is not young anymore."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face revealed a fox-like smile.

 C38 Innocent

    On the way out of the study, Qiao Liangjin knew that the night''s conversation had a certain impact on Qiao Zheng''s relaxed state of mind.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the Flowermoney Pavilion, he saw a girl in pink clothes walking around the entrance.


    After taking a closer look, Qiao Liangjin felt a headache coming on.


    After some thought, he decided to find another place to climb over the wall.


    In order to avoid this Second Aunt, Qiao Liangjin immediately went around to the other side and rubbed his palm. He was prepared to flip over the wall in one go.


    His own qinggong is still poor, but there is no problem for him to climb over the wall.


    He took two steps back and was about to run when he was lifted up by the collar.


    "Ai ai ai ai, let go."


    "Jin''er, why did you climb over the wall when you went back to your own brothel?" The one who was holding onto her collar was her most adorable elder brother.


    Sighing, Qiao Liangjin pointed to the door and said, "That Lin Fanli is standing at the door, I really hate seeing her. Those triangular eyes are very sinister, very annoying."


    Only now did Qiao Ruo Ying notice that there was a pink figure at the entrance of the restaurant. She laughed out loud and let go of Qiao Liangjin''s collar.


    With large strides, he walked to the door. No one knew what he said to Second Aunt, but she hurriedly left.


    Qiao Liangjin then walked to the door and said with a look of worship on his face, "Big brother is powerful, big brother is really powerful!"


    Qiao Ruo Ying put her hands on her waist and pretended to be indomitable as she smiled. She pinched Qiao Liangjin''s face and said, "That''s right. Big brother is the pillar of support. The sky is falling and big brother is supporting us."


    He entered the Golden Flower Pavilion with Qiao Liangjin.


    Sitting on the stone table in the yard, he looked at Qiao Liangjin seriously and asked: "I heard that you came back with Su Jingqing?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded.


    With an unhappy expression, Qiao Ruoyin slapped her palm on the stone table. "Did that brat do anything?"


    Qiao Liangjin laughed involuntarily. This person was really a sis-con.


    She suddenly thought of a joke and said with a sorrowful expression, "Big Brother, he ¡­" "He ¡­"


    Qiao Ruo Ying''s eyes widened and asked anxiously: "What did he do? Did he touch your hand? Your hair? I will chop it off for him no matter what hand he touches. "


    As he spoke, he was about to go out and settle the score.


    Qiao Liangjin knew Qiao Ruo Ying''s personality and quickly pulled him and said: "No, no, he just took me out to eat and then sent me back. Don''t worry, if something really happened, how could I be okay."


    Only then did Qiao Ruo Ying relax. She rubbed Qiao Liangjin''s hair and complained, "You scared your brother to death. Don''t joke with me in the future, do you understand?"


    When Qiao Ruo Ying came out of the Golden Flower Pavilion, she still felt uncomfortable. In his eyes, whether she was fat or thin, even if she was extremely ugly, she was still one of a kind.


    He might as well pay a visit to the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion.


    Qiao Ruoyin left as soon as she said she would. She then left the Prime Minister''s Estate like a gust of wind.


    After hearing that Qiao Ruo Ying had come, he thought that Qiao Liangjin would ask him to go to the mighty general and talk to him. Thus, he got Hong Liang to bring him in.


    Qiao Ruo Ying looked at the clean up in front of her. At this moment, the clean up and change into a set of green clothes were not as oppressive as the red clothes.


    Sure enough, any woman would be moved by this sight.


    She looked at Qiao Ruoyin who was about the same height as herself and made a gesture of invitation, "Please take a seat, Young Master Qiao."


    Qiao Ruoyin sat down and took a sip of the tea that Hong Liang had sent over. She then spat out and said, "This woman''s body really stinks."


    The corner of her clear lips slightly raised. She really was a brother and sister.


    He cleared the aisle and sat down beside her with his hands on his knees in a respectful manner.


    Qiao Ruo Ying originally heard that Su Chen had a germaphobia and did not like to interact with people. But today, he was actually so close to her, she found it strange.


    "I wonder what kind of advice Young Master Qiao has?"


    "My sister doesn''t seem to be willing to marry you!"


    "Yes, I noticed it too."


    After Qiao Ruo Ying said this, she didn''t know what to say.


    They actually admitted to it. How could the conversation continue?


    He took another two gulps of tea.


    Silence. The study room was exceptionally quiet.


    "About that, I''m fine, I''m leaving." Qiao Ruoyin stood up and walked out of the room.


    "Your sister told you to go to the military camp of the mighty general. However, you may go to the border of the Eastern Kingdom within a few days. There will be a commotion over there."


    Qiao Ruo Ying stopped and her eyes lit up. She walked to Su Qing with extreme joy and asked while holding his sleeve: "Really? Are we really going to war? "


    She looked at Qiao Ruo Ying who was pulling her sleeve and coughed without saying a word.


    However, the rough line Qiao Ruo Ying did not feel the slightest bit of awkwardness. She continued to have an excited look on her face as she imagined, "In an army of thousands, I want to make a meritorious deed. Let those who call me a playboy have a good look."


    After sending off Qiao Ruoyin, who had come to denounce him for her crimes, she looked at her sleeves with a bitter smile.


    Hong Liang brought out a new set of clothes and said, "Your highness, please change it. Someone else touched it."


    "There''s no need, we''re on our own. "There''s no need." Su Chen shook his sleeves.


    Hong Liang thought that he had misheard. What did the Prince say? That Qiao Ruo Ying was one of them?


    The clothes in his hands almost fell to the ground.


    In the palace.


    After the imperial court was purged, the Emperor left it there again.


    Su Bai looked at the table full of food. It was his favorite food, but he still maintained his indifferent look. For so many years, as long as Su Shun had a request, he would make a table like this.


    After clearing up, he did not sit down. Instead, he stood in the pavilion and asked, "What does His Majesty want your younger brother to do?"


    "Sit down."


    Su Chen stood at the same spot. He did not want to eat this kind of Hongmen Banquet.


    Su Shun sighed. He raised his chopsticks with his slender fingers and picked up a piece of chicken meat with his chopsticks. "This is your favorite shredded chicken pepper."


    "Your Majesty ¡­"


    "Do you really like that fat woman? "A woman whose reputation has long been tarnished, devoid of morals and beauty. I heard that she refused." Su Shun knew that his little brother wouldn''t sit down until he finished his sentence.


    "This, your servant will fight for this. Thank you, Your Majesty."


    "Princess Linglong has always been so concerned about you, why not consider her?"


    Qing Qing Qing smiled, "Your Majesty, your servant is a man of great promise. He has said that he will definitely marry Qiao Liangjin. If she doesn''t agree now, I will wait until she does."


    "Is it worth it for a girl?" Su Shun stared at his face, trying to get an answer from his smile.


    "Depends on who that woman is."


    On the way back to the house, Lu Li said with some injustice, "Seventh Prince has done so much for that big miss. Does she know?"


    "I don''t need her to know. I just want to protect her and keep her safe." She was sitting in the carriage, thinking about how she had fallen asleep in the woods that day.


    When he carried her and carefully placed her in the carriage, he looked at her cherry red lips and wanted to kiss her.


    In all these years, no one had been able to move him so much.


    He couldn''t do what Ning Ying said, but he hoped that he could guarantee her safety in the dark.


    On one side was his brother, on the other her. He couldn''t make a choice, he could only mediate between the two of them.


    Qiao Liangjin slept a little during the day and ate a little more meat. At night, he could no longer sleep.


    Seeing Yu Sheng sitting on the rooftop with the Spirit Swirl as they chatted, she lay on the table and thought that these two little imps would have someone to rely on in the future.


    He had a lot of things to worry about in the short span of a few decades.


    Ning Xi came uninvited once again.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were wide open without the slightest bit of sleepiness. When he saw Ning Ying, a look of joy actually appeared on his face.


    Ning Ying smiled, "You were waiting for me?"


    "Nonsense, I ate a lot of meat today and it feels terrible. What do you think I should do?" Qiao Liangjin patted his stomach.


    "I heard. I heard that Seventh Prince took you to the stream and ate meat. I also heard that your brother went to the Seventh Prince''s estate." Ning Xi''s fan was still lightly tapping on his palm.


    "Ah?" "What happened to my brother? Oh no, did he go to fight again? Can he beat up the Seventh Prince?" Qiao Liangjin''s expression suddenly turned nervous.


    His brother was only worth so much. Even though he had fought under the hands of Su Chen, he hadn''t been able to get any benefits.


    Ning Ying laughed out loud and shook his head, "Don''t worry, we didn''t do anything. Your brother has already returned."


    Qiao Liangjin patted his chest.


    Ning Xi spread out her hands and said, "I didn''t bring any wine today, but there''s a place I''d like to bring you to take a look. Are you going or not?"


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose and asked, "What kind of place is that?"


    Ning Ying smiled mysteriously at this moment. "I won''t tell you, I''ll take you, okay?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes lit up and he said: "Sure!"


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly jumped onto Ning Ying''s back, pointed to the sky and shouted, "Go, Pikachu!"


    With her soft chest leaning on Ning Ying''s back, Ning Ying''s body slightly stiffened. She then smiled. "Okay, let''s go."


    He walked past the tree shadows and the tall buildings. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Liangjin was gently placed on the ground.


    Ning Xi pulled out a strip of cloth and shook it, "Block your eyes, I want to surprise you."


    Qiao Liangjin squinted, looked at the smiling Ning Ying, tilted his head and asked: "You won''t push me into some snake or scorpion nest will you? "Why do I suddenly not trust you? There''s no one here even though it''s dark and windy. If you want to kill me, no one really knows."


    Ning Ying was amused by her rich imagination, and lightly tapped the tip of her nose. "Idiot, you really think too much."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly used his arm to cover his chest, his face was full of vigilance: "Could it be that you want to molest me? You still like to play sm? "


    Ning Ying''s last sentence was incomprehensible. He innocently spread out his hands and said, "Then you can decide for yourself. After some time has passed, you won''t be able to see anything."


    Qiao Liangjin still had a look of disbelief as he questioned: "Is what you said true? Really give me a surprise? Promise me I won''t be disappointed? You must know that after I''m disappointed, I might kill you to keep my mouth shut! "

 C39 Ephemeral Night

    Ning Ying held back his laughter and nodded.


    Qiao Liangjin had a righteous look as he closed his eyes.


    Ning Xian moved behind Qiao Liangjin and used a piece of cloth to cover her eyes. Then she pulled Qiao Liangjin''s slightly cold hand and slowly walked forward.


    After walking for a few hundred meters, Ning Ying stopped.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and listened carefully. Other than the chirping of the birds, there was no other sound.


    Ning Xi brought over Qiao Liangjin''s piece of cloth.


    There was nothing in front of him, everything was pitch black.


    Qiao Liangjin was just about to say that Ning Xi was a scammer.


    Ning Xi took out a cloth bag from her waist, grabbed a handful of golden powder from inside and sprinkled it in front of her.


    In the blink of an eye, the epiphyllum flower appeared before his eyes.


    In the midst of the Twilight Flower, a bunch of fireflies flew out.


    Qiao Liangjin covered his mouth.


    The two of them stood in the middle of the flower, surrounded by it, fireflies flying up and down around them.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and looked at Ning Ying. He was even stuttering when he said, "Is, is this magic?"


    Ning Ying nodded and stretched out his palm.


    A few fireflies landed on Ning Xi''s palm.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes immediately turned moist.


    This was probably the most unforgettable scene she had seen in her many years of life.


    After being silent for a long time, Qiao Liangjin sniffed and smiled, "Ning Ying, thank you."


    "Do you like it?"


    "Very, very much."


    "Sit down. We can sit here without any wine."


    "Can you lie down?"


    "Of course."


    Qiao Liangjin was lying in the middle of the Ephemeral Flower.


    She felt a little strange. Didn''t they say that it was only a fleeting moment? Why did it take so long for the flowers to bloom?


    As if he knew what Qiao Liangjin was curious about, he explained, "With a little medicinal powder, you can make these Ephemeral Flowers bloom overnight, but you won''t have a chance tomorrow, you can only wait for the next time. Have you seen what Suzaku looks like before?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook her head. She was too much of a man and she had never thought that admiring flowers would be such a beautiful thing.


    Ning Xi smiled lightly. "I''ll take you to see it in the future. I''ll accompany you wherever you want to go. I''ll accompany you if you want to see it."


    Qiao Liangjin was silent.


    Her heart was in chaos.


    Suddenly, a large palm landed on the back of her hand.


    "Enjoy the night quietly. It will be gone by tomorrow."


    His palm inexplicably brought warmth.


    Looking at the fireflies in the sky, Qiao Liangjin saw the Milky Way.


    She pointed at Yin He and said, "Did you know? That''s the Milky Way, that''s Vega, that''s Altair. "


    "Actually, the distance between them is very round, almost several hundred million light years. I know you don''t understand, but I know you want to listen." Qiao Liangjin said to himself.


    "You must miss the place you came to, don''t you?" Ning Ying suddenly asked.


    "Think? Maybe not. How interesting, Ning Xi, why would I tell you so many things? "


    Ning Xi laughed in a low voice, "Maybe I''m worth entrusting and trusting?"


    Qiao Liangjin also laughed when he heard this.


    "If one day you go back to where you came from, will you leave too many of your own feelings in another world?"


    "This question is a little difficult." Ning Ying was obviously stumped.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, there is no answer to this question. "Still, thank you, Ningxia Seal."


    "Thank me? I might as well devote my life to you. " Ning Xian, who was originally lying side by side with Qiao Liangjin, suddenly turned to the side, supporting his head with one arm.


    He looked at Qiao Liangjin by the light of the fireflies.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand drew a circle in the air and did not answer.


    Unexpectedly, Ning Xuemo''s lips lightly brushed hers.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt suffocated.


    Ningxi, what are you doing? This is my first kiss!


    She originally wanted to push Ning Ying away, but for some reason, she stopped at his chest. She could feel that Ning Ying''s heart was beating even faster than her own.


    He was more nervous than she was.


    "Ning Ying ¡­"


    Ning Ying suddenly laid on the side and said apologetically, "Sorry for scaring you."


    Qiao Liangjin was a woman from the modern era, and this kind of kiss was nothing to her. Moreover, she didn''t really hate the man lying beside her.


    "No problem, I don''t mind." Qiao Liangjin waved his hand.


    Changing into a more comfortable position, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt that his sleepiness came with great intensity.


    "Ning Ying, so tired, go back ¡­" While talking, Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes.


    Ning Xian looked at Qiao Liangjin who had already fallen asleep and smiled.


    He pulled her into his embrace and smelled her hair.


    Then he looked up at the Milky Way.


    There was some sort of calmness to the medicine, so he was naturally unaffected.


    When the first ray of sunlight shone onto Qiao Liangjin''s face, she suddenly opened her eyes.


    A handsome face caught her eye.


    She sucked in a breath of cold air. Hey, what the heck! Did I molest someone last night?


    He quickly sat up and checked his clothes. He didn''t move. When he saw that there were no changes to his clothes, he finally felt at ease.


    Ning Xi had already opened a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at her affectionately.


    Qiao Liangjin touched his nose and said, "Let''s sleep together."


    "Yes."


    "But luckily nothing happened."


    "Hmm?"


    That''s not right, why did those words sound like she was somewhat disappointed?


    Ning Xi''s watery eyes were filled with smiles as she asked, "Last night ¡­ Shouldn''t something have happened? If not, why would I feel a little disappointed when I heard your tone? "


    Lost your sister, I don''t want to have my most lovable first time in this wilderness.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes, pointed to the east and said, "Ningxi, what do you think we should do now that the sky is already bright?"


    Ning Xi sat up and smiled, "In any case, you have no interest in going to the imperial palace to block them. The people from Golden Flower Pavilion won''t tell anyone that you''re not here."


    "Hai, then I have to go back as well."


    When Ning Ying had left Qiao Lianjin in the courtyard of the Golden Flower Pavilion, Ruo Lan was so moved that she almost shed tears of gratitude. "You''re finally back. I almost thought you were kidnapped, but you still want to report this to the officials. Miss, can I trouble you to remember to leave a note next time?"

 C40 Feather Kiss

    Qiao Liangjin took a few steps back in disgust as he saw Ruo Lan wipe her tears and snot onto him.


    "What''s wrong with that? Why did he learn it so disgustingly from the little fox?"


    Standing by the side was the fuming little fox, Yu Sheng.


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the little fox.


    It felt like this little fox was different from yesterday''s little fox.


    He squatted in front of the little fox.


    He carefully observed the pair of fox-like eyes. Where had his innocence disappeared to?


    Why are your eyes so full of... How should he put it, it seemed to be full of jealousy?


    Knocking on his knuckles, Qiao Liangjin sent a punch towards Yu Sheng''s forehead. "You little thing, look for your Spirit Swirl."


    However, the Spirit Swirl that was hiding next to the pillar had a face full of caution.


    Ning Ying''s gaze drifted over to the little fox''s body that was filled with rage, seemingly lost in thought.


    Suddenly, he smiled and walked in front of Qiao Liangjin. Before she could even react, his lips lightly landed on her forehead. It was like a feather or a cool breeze.


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned, but Ning Ying had already left.


    The noisy crowd quietened down.


    The little fox''s eyes were clearly shocked.


    Walking up to Qiao Liangjin, he tiptoed and used his sleeve to wipe her forehead.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart was suddenly thrown into chaos.


    She pushed the little fox aside and walked into the room, closing the door behind her.


    The little fox looked at his palm, slightly injured. He did not understand why Qiao Liangjin would push him away.


    Ruo Lan sighed, shook her head, and said, "Go on, everyone."


    Ling Xuan walked up to Yu Sheng shyly and tugged on his sleeve.


    Unexpectedly, Yuesheng pulled his sleeve out of her hand. His eyes were exceptionally cold.


    Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment. That pair of ice-cold eyes did not belong to Yu Sheng, who was grabbing onto her ponytail every day.


    "Who are you?" The Spirit Swirl blurted out.


    However, Yu Sheng''s tiny palm was clasped around Spirit Swirl''s thin neck.


    The Spirit Swirling Swirl immediately felt as if it had fallen into ice and snow. Its entire body was ice-cold and its small body was slightly trembling.


    With just a tiny bit of force, she would be able to crush her throat.


    Yuesheng laughed softly and whispered next to her ear, "In a few days, I will return your Brother Yuesheng to you. In the next few days, you have to be good. "


    The spirit whirlpool''s eyes were filled with panic as it sensed the killing intent within Yu Sheng''s eyes.


    If he told Qiao Liangjin that he wasn''t the type of person that they were, he would have broken her throat without any hesitation.


    He struggled to nod his head.


    Only then did Yuesheng release her and turn to look at Qiao Liangjin''s door.


    Qiao Liangjin put on his battle uniform and changed his clothes. He then threw that gentle kiss to the back of his head.


    It had been four or five days since he had gone to the small house.


    The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Yuesheng standing beside a pillar, rubbing her toes against the ground with an aggrieved look on her face.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart softened. He walked over and once again sent a burst of goosebumps towards his head.


    "It''s a boy''s house. It''s as if I''ve wronged you all day long."


    "Where are you going? I want to go too ¡­" With a pitiful look on his face, Yuesheng''s eyes flashed as he led the way.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and smiled as he tapped Yu Sheng''s forehead with his jade-like index finger.


    A silver fox quickly climbed onto Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder and quietly laid down.


    Qiao Liangjin patted the little fox''s head and looked at the sky. He sighed, "It seems like my fox fur coat has been encircled a little too early."


    The little fox brushed Qiao Liangjin''s face with its tail in dissatisfaction.


    Just as he left, Qiao Liangjin saw Xiao Rong. He raised his hand and gave him a warm smile. "Hi."


    Xiao Rong''s face was full of smiles. His face was as warm as the sun after the autumn rain. He too raised his hand and greeted her like Qiao Liangjin did.


    Speaking of which, Xiao Rong was probably the person that could adapt to Qiao Liangjin the most. It seemed that he was born to be a hot person.


    No wonder a rouge shop can span five continents.


    Qiao Liangjin said goodbye and got into the carriage. Today, he was going to the little grocer''s lodge, so he didn''t need to make a big fuss.


    Xiao Rong hurriedly followed behind the horse, still holding the food box in his hands.


    Qiao Liangjin told Bai to stop the carriage. She opened the curtain and said to Xiao Rong, "Young Master Xiao, I''m going to the little grocer''s today. If you want to come out, then follow me."


    Xiao Rong tilted his head. He didn''t quite understand what the cabinet meant, but from what she said, it seemed that if he followed her, she would definitely arrange for him to receive her.


    With a blush on his face, he handed the food box to Zi Yan, who was beside him.


    "Then, can I wait for you at the entrance of the alleyway?" Xiao Rong thought for a while before asking softly.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at the sky, waved his hand, and said helplessly: "Up to you."


    Arriving at the gatehouse, Qiao Liangjin waved his golden fan in satisfaction and entered the building.


    Business was rising day by day. Just look at how good of a place she had prepared for those noblemen in the capital.


    Entering the room, the storekeeper brought the account book and sat in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    "An Ge, has it been hard on you to do this business for a woman in men''s clothing?" Qiao Liangjin put down the fan in his hand and lightly placed his hand on the shopkeeper''s back.


    The shopkeeper called An Ge faintly smiled and calmly withdrew his hand.


    "Yo, shy. Don''t worry, I''m not interested in women."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes.


    "Miss Qiao, this is the income from this month. This is the guest list that comes and goes."


    He handed Qiao Liangjin a notebook.


    Qiao Liangjin opened the book and read it carefully.


    He began to laugh.


    "This is really interesting. Seventh Prince also came, and so did Ning Ying."


    "Yes, they came as well, but they didn''t order our young master to come."


    Qiao Liangjin''s seductive eyes slightly lifted and he pursed his lips into a smile: "Could it be ¡­ Did they bring it themselves? "


    Ange shakes her head.


    The little fox was curled up on Qiao Liangjin''s knee.


    He had never known that An Ge was a girl, nor had he ever known that this waiter''s place belonged to Qiao Liangjin.


    It was already clear why she was running this place.


    In the entire imperial court, how many people had such knowledge and courage?


    The only person who could make a move on him was probably Qiao Liangjin.


    After he finished reading the bill and the list, Qiao Liangjin handed the notebook to An Ge and smiled evilly, "Have you brought a new product recently?"


    An Ge''s expression changed slightly. He reluctantly nodded.


    Zhang Xuan clapped his hands.


    Soon, two men came in.


    One was red, the other white.


    His red clothes were fiery, and he had a lazy appearance, as if he had just woken up.


    The man in white was shy and only lowered his head in silence.


    Seeing the man in white, Qiao Liangjin threw the fox on his knee onto the table.


    The little fox let out a dissatisfied "chirp" in protest.


    He stood up and walked up to the man in white and gently lifted his lower jaw.


    What a clean face. Elegant as a bright moon, thrown into the lake. Soft eyes, like a breeze, caressed her heart.


    What a beauty! Qiao Liangjin sighed in his heart.


    If Gongqing''s looks were in first place, then this person''s looks should at least be in second place, no mistake.


    An Ge also stood up and walked behind Qiao Liangjin. He softly introduced, "This is Bai Wu. He didn''t know where he came from, nor did he know where he went, so he stayed behind."


    "You''ve received a guest?"


    An Ge shook his head, a look of pity on his face.


    The red-clothed man gave the white-clothed man a deep look, then turned around and casually closed the door.


    Qiao Liangjin let go of the man in white regretfully and pointed at the chair. "Sit down and drink with me."


    The white-clothed man actually obediently sat down on the stool. His bony fingers picked up the wine jug and poured two cups of wine.


    Qiao Liangjin sat in front of the man in white and raised a cup of wine as he looked at the man in front of him with interest.


    "Bai Wu?"


    "Here."


    The voice seemed to come from the heavens, low and elegant.


    Ah ah ah ah, this sound is so tempting!


    Qiao Liangjin really wanted to immediately skin this man alive.


    An Ge pursed his lips into a smile, slightly nodded towards Qiao Liangjin, then turned around and left as well.


    When the little fox saw Qiao Liangjin''s infatuated look, it could not help but want to scratch her.


    The voice sounded familiar. He carefully sized up the man in front of him. His heart was filled with a sense of familiarity, but no matter how he looked, he could not find a trace of him.


    "Bai Wu, I assume you don''t want to do this either. Stay here. "When I''m fine, talk to me when I come."


    Bai Wu nodded and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and walked to the side of the zither, and gently stroked the strings with his slender fingers.


    "You can play the zither?"


    Bai Wu nodded.


    "Then do whatever you want to me." Qiao Liangjin said as he poured himself a cup of wine.


    His fingers slowly slid across the strings, and the elegant notes of the zither jumped off from the strings one by one. Qiao Liangjin, who was drinking, suddenly stopped. He held his cup and quietly listened.


    "Jian Jia had turned pale, and the white dew had turned into frost. The so-called lover is in the water ¡­" "Haha, nice to listen to." Qiao Liangjin''s eyes slightly narrowed, but his fingers were lightly tapping against his knees.


    The clear and melodious sound of the zither continuously flowed about, as if it was slowly flowing out from an orchid mountain in an empty valley, flowing through Qiao Liangjin''s heart. She faintly smiled, and continued to drink cup after cup.


    After the song ended, Qiao Liangjin actually started to feel a little tipsy.


    Bai Wu walked in front of Qiao Liangjin and removed the wine cup from her hand. Without hesitation, he picked up Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin exclaimed and hugged Bai Wu''s neck tightly.


    Bai Wu walked to the bed and gently placed Qiao Linjin on it.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed with a hazy but intoxicated look in his eyes, "Do you want to go to bed with me?"


    "You''re drunk. Sleep for a while." Bai Wu gently placed the thin blanket on Qiao Liangjin''s body, then turned and walked over to the table.


    He sat with his back facing Qiao Liangjin.


    The little fox had thought that if he dared to touch Qiao Liangjin, he would definitely jump over and bite his throat.


    Unexpectedly, this man was as majestic as a gentleman and didn''t move at all.


    With a vigilant heart, the little fox also jumped onto the bed and laid down beside Qiao Liangjin''s pillow.


    Smelling the wine on Qiao Liangjin''s body, he shook his head.


    Drink when you have wine, drink when you have wine.


    Looking at Bai Wu''s back, the little fox kept thinking, a man whose zither music could be the highest under the heavens, who could it be in this world?


    He couldn''t figure it out even if he tried.


    Forget it, leave it for Lu Li to check on later.

 C41 Foxs Heart

    When Qiao Liangjin woke up, Bai Wu had already prepared some water to wash his face with.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face reddened. This man seemed to be even more considerate than Xiao Rong.


    Caring, but with distance.


    Qiao Liangjin washed his face and used a handkerchief to wipe his face as he asked: "Bai Wu, do we know each other?"


    Bai Wuchen''s hand paused for a moment before shaking his head, "No, I don''t."


    "But why do I always feel like we''ve known each other?"


    Bai Wu smiled shallowly: "Miss Qiao and all the beautiful men in the world said that, right?"


    "Huh?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s almond eyes were wide open. Was he such a person?


    But after thinking about it ¡­ It did seem to have happened.


    When the little fox heard this, it could not help but want to laugh. It could only wrap its tail around its face helplessly.


    When he reluctantly left the servants'' hall, there was a new rumor in the kingdom that a beautiful man had appeared in the servants'' hall. He was as beautiful as the Seventh Prince.


    It was already ruined by the shameless Qiao Liangjin.


    The lazy Qiao Liangjin soaked himself in the bath barrel. Purple smoke sprinkled the dried crabapple blossoms into the water.


    Qiao Liangjin covered his face with a handkerchief, which was called the steaming face.


    The little fox was lying on the ground not far away. The screen was transparent, and he could see Qiao Liangjin''s slender arms stretching towards the sky.


    A gentleman is not to be looked down upon.


    But those eyes, they always wanted to see.


    With a "Hua La" sound, Qiao Liangjin stood up from the bath barrel.


    The figure that was imprinted on the screen wasn''t small at all in the right places, and there wasn''t a bit of excess flesh in the right places.


    Her figure was becoming more and more beautiful.


    Ruo Lan gave him a piece of clothing.


    Qiao Liangjin swaggered out wearing a homemade undergarment and homemade shorts.


    The little fox cleared his mind.


    Her snow-white belly and round navel were swaying in front of her eyes.


    He suddenly felt that he couldn''t breathe.


    He wanted to turn around and tell himself not to look at her.


    But her eyes were fixed on her stomach and her long legs.


    Qiao Liangjin stretched his legs and then leaned against the wall, pressing lightly against the wall.


    Purple Smoke was in the middle of cleaning up the bathtub, lifting the water out of it. She walked past the little fox and took a look.


    Suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, he cried out in surprise, "Eh?"


    Qiao Liangjin turned to look at the purple smoke.


    Looking at the little fox, she simply could not control the laughter to the point of going crazy.


    Why did this stupid fox have a nosebleed?


    Moreover, this time, it seemed to be even more powerful than the last time.


    Only then did the little fox feel that it had lost control of itself. It hurriedly raised its little claws and tried to cover its nose.


    Qiao Liangjin hurriedly walked over and tapped the little fox on its forehead.


    Yuesheng sat down at the table.


    Qiao Liangjin blocked his nose with the silk handkerchief.


    He frowned and asked, "What happened to you? Could there be something wrong? "


    The little fox also followed Qiao Liangjin''s example and frowned. "Can''t you wear more?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at himself in surprise, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What''s wrong with me wearing this, I usually wear this ¡­"


    Suddenly, she stopped and carefully sized up the little fox. She asked with some suspicion, "You ¡­ Is it Yuesheng? "


    "Of course."


    "Shouldn''t you bring your Spirit Swirl and meditate to absorb the essence of the sun and moon?"


    "I''m tired."


    "Aren''t we going to grab the little braid of the Spirit Swirling Swirl?"


    "Too tired."


    As he finished speaking, he turned around with both hands in front of his chest and sat with his back facing Qiao Liangjin.


    Mm, so this is Yu Cheng.


    He was so nervous that he was almost seen through.


    Zi Yan looked at the little fox''s fuming appearance and laughed. "What happened?"


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled, "It must be that Eldest Uncle has come."


    In order to show that he was still Yu Sheng, Su Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and search for the Spirit Swirl.


    The Spirit Swirl followed him into the courtyard. The two of them sat down cross-legged facing each other.


    Su Su Qing sighed. She spread her hands and said, "You should know that I am not Yu Sheng."


    The eyes of the Spirit Swirl were somewhat frantic, but it pretended to be calm as it nodded its head.


    "I won''t harm Yusheng."


    "You''re not a bad person." The Spirit Swirl blurted out.


    "Even if they aren''t bad people, it''s just borrowing Yu Sheng''s body." Her clear eyes were still looking at Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    The Spirit Swirl followed Su Ming''s gaze and instantly came to a realization. It bit its finger and asked, "You are ¡­"


    "Clean up."


    "Ah?" "You and Yu Cheng ¡­"


    "You can exchange bodies. I''ve already talked to Yusheng." He looked at his small body.


    "Oh, then I''m relieved." The spirit whirlpool nodded its head.


    In accordance to the Spirit Swirls'' instructions, he imitated a round of cultivation.


    He couldn''t wait to run into Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    Lying on the bed, he asked with a smile, "Can I go to bed now?"


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and pointed to the beauty couch on the other side. "You went over there."


    Yu Cheng pouted unhappily and said, "I''ll keep you warm!"


    Qiao Liangjin could not help but laugh when he heard this. He tapped Yu Sheng''s forehead with his finger.


    Silver Fox then easily jumped onto the bed.


    She obediently lied down beside the pillow and happily looked at Qiao Liangjin''s face.


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at it and said, "Sleep quickly, don''t push me, or I will throw you out."


    He had always been so rough, he thought to himself as he cleared his mind.


    Before the sky brightened, Qiao Liangjin could already hear his brother''s loud yells coming from outside the door.


    He lazily put on his clothes, opened the door, yawned and leaned on the door as he asked, "Big brother, if you can''t say something that would surprise me, I will definitely smash your head on the ground today."


    "I''m going to the tiger camp today. In two days we will depart for the border of the Eastern Kingdom. " Qiao Ruo Ying completely ignored Qiao Liangjin''s threat.


    Qiao Liangjin''s pupils constricted and his heart tightened. How could he be so fast?


    She thought for a moment, then turned around and walked back into her room. She stuffed all of the ointment and pills that Ning Xi had given to her into Qiao Ruoyin''s hands.


    Jo looked at the bottle in her hand in surprise.


    "Little sister, I don''t need these things."


    "The battlefield is too dangerous, and injuries are inevitable. Some of these are Golden Sore Medicine, some are Great Replenishment Elixir, and you can use them all. Big brother, you must take care of yourself."


    After saying that, she tidied up Qiao Ruo Ying''s collar, feeling reluctant to part with her.


    Qiao Ruoyin had never left home before. Now, in order to build a new family, she had to leave her sister. His reluctance to part with her had suppressed the excitement of going to the battlefield.


    Qiao Zheng who was standing by the door lightly coughed twice.


    Qiao Ruo Ying turned around and called out anxiously, "Father."


    Qiao Liangjin appeared from behind Qiao Ruo Ying and shouted.


    Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Ruoyin who was holding a bunch of bottles with a calm expression.


    It was only this morning that he found out that Qiao Ruo Ying was going to guard the border.


    His heart was filled with worry. He didn''t know how to express it.


    After some thought, he finally said, "Return safely."


    Qiao Ruo Ying nodded her head vigorously.


    A small figure suddenly appeared behind Qiao Zheng. Qiao Siyuan came running from afar and threw himself into Qiao Ruo Ying''s embrace.


    He raised his head and said with a look of admiration, "Brother, you must be the best."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the few people in front of him.


    The sunlight was just right. The few people were like a painting, frozen in her memory.


    The news of Qiao Ruo Ying joining the army to fight spread throughout the entire Prime Minister''s estate in a short while.


    Everyone gathered at the door to bid her farewell.


    However, there was only Qiao Liangjin in Qiao Ruo Ying''s eyes.


    He gave Qiao Liangjin a delicate dagger and whispered, "Little sister, I remember that you once described to me a kind of dagger. It had a bloody groove, so killing people would be much more satisfying. I made this dagger myself, so I gave it to you."


    Qiao Liangjin pulled the dagger out of its sheath and carefully examined it. Yes, this was her favorite dagger before. With a cut, as long as it was inserted, and a jab, blood would gush out continuously from the body.


    After returning the dagger to its sheath, Qiao Liangjin smiled and said: "It just so happens that thank you, big brother."


    "Sister, write more to brother."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and waved his hand, looking at the figure of Qiao Ruoyin as she walked further and further away.


    As he passed by Qiao Zhijun, he heard him whisper, "He''s just going to die."


    Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes. He turned around and slapped Qiao Zhijun on the face without a second thought.


    A crisp and clear clapping sound resounded throughout the Prime Minister''s Estate.


    All the people who were preparing to enter were stunned.


    Qiao Zhijun was also shocked. He didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to slap him. This slap was so forceful that it made his teeth go loose.


    She pursed her lips and looked at Lin Fang Li beside her.


    Lin Fang Li immediately exploded, pointing at Qiao Liangjin and roaring: "What are you doing? Why did you hit my son? Is he your brother too? "


    Qiao Liangjin sneered: "Brother? Is he worthy? "


    Lin Fangli immediately displayed her shrewish style, rolling around the floor without stopping. "Where is the logic of heaven? Does this mean that my family has no official position, so they can be easily bullied?"


    Qiao Zheng turned his head and looked impatiently at Lin Fanli who was rolling on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand, allowing A-Kuan and Bai to drag her out of the mansion.


    Qiao Liangjin sneered and said: "Don''t you like to cry? There aren''t many people watching you in the mansion. Go out and cry, let everyone see."


    Then, he pointed at Qiao Zhijun and said, "If I hear you say something again next time, it will make me unhappy. I will tear your mouth apart."


    Qiao Zheng let out a sigh, looked up at the sky and said: "The wind is really strong today."


    After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the study room.


    Lin Fangli rolled on the ground in front of the gate of the Prime Minister''s Residence, crying and shouting about her unfair treatment.


    The onlookers watched for a while and realized that there was no difference between the noble woman and the village woman''s method of throwing a tantrum. Thus, they disinterestedly dispersed.


    She was a little tired and could only sit up. She glared at the Prime Minister''s Mansion and cursed viciously, "One day, your Qiao family will be executed by the whole family."


    However, she had forgotten that she herself was a member of the Prime Minister''s Estate.


    Qiao Maoshan, who had been gambling all night, returned to the courtyard. When he heard that Qiao Zhijun had been beaten up and that Lin Fanli had been throwing a tantrum at the door, he became so angry that he started fighting.


    He then left for the madame''s room.

 C42 Coverage as Usual

    As soon as he entered, he began to wail, "Mother, my son has been bullied."


    The madame who was listening to Josephine recite the poem heard her youngest son''s crying and quickly waved her hand. "What''s the matter?"


    Qiao Mao Shan knelt down on the ground and walked step by step towards the madame.


    He leaned his head on the madame''s knee and told her about what had happened that morning.


    When the old mistress heard this, she was displeased.


    He was about to call Yun Chu over to call for Qiao Zheng and Qiao Liangjin.


    At the side, he heard Qiao Siyuan say coldly, "Big Brother is out on a war march. Second Brother said that Big Brother is going out to die."


    Qiao Mao Shan who was crying instantly shut off the fire.


    The old mistress was also stunned.


    No matter how ignorant she was, no matter how much she protected her son, she still didn''t feel good listening to his words.


    Qiao Maoshan muttered: "Siyuan ah, could it be that you misheard?"


    Qiao Siyuan stared at the old lady with his innocent eyes and said affirmatively, "I was by second brother''s side back then. I heard those words. That''s why eldest young mistress gave second brother a slap."


    The old mistress'' expression turned cold.


    Qiao Mao Shan was so embarrassed that he wanted to viciously slap his wife.


    No matter how jealous they were, they couldn''t say such words.


    The old mistress coughed.


    Qiao Maoshan sensibly stood up and embarrassedly said: "Mother ¡­"


    "Forget it, since you''re being so dumb, you should just eat it." The madame said helplessly.


    Qiao Liangjin was quietly staying at the Flowergold Pavilion.


    He looked outside. He asked curiously, "Why aren''t you going to the entrance of the palace?"


    "I''m not interested."


    "But it seems like Seventh Prince is interested in you. Didn''t they say they want to marry you?"


    "It''s nothing more than the emperor''s method to have him monitor our Prime Minister''s residence. Who would really like a fatty like me?" As Qiao Liangjin spoke, the pen in his hand did not stop.


    "Then will you choose to marry Ning Xi?" Su Ling cleared her throat and asked curiously.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand froze. Would he marry Ning Xi?


    Thinking of the gentle kiss on her forehead, her heart suddenly began to fluster again.


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s stupefied expression, Su Hao''s heart tightened.


    Qiao Liangjin slightly smiled and continued to draw: "It''s mine after all, it''s not something that I can''t force myself to do. "I don''t want to."


    Wow, what enigmatic words.


    Qing Qing suddenly remembered that Qiao Liangjin had once recited a poem.


    "You can write poems?"


    "Nope."


    "The two paragraphs about the lazy hand tracing eyebrow green and Jian Jia Cang ¡­"


    "Inspiration." He replied impatiently.


    "It''s not that I''m talking about you, but why are you asking so many questions? Go out and take your Spirit Swirls with you. Don''t let anyone see you!" Qiao Liangjin wanted to draw, but this little fox had already turned into a hundred thousand questions. Furthermore, it was the questions that she didn''t want to answer the most.


    After chasing the little fox out, he continued drawing with a peace of mind.


    Su Bai helplessly squatted at the door and started to draw circles.


    He waited until Qiao Liangjin shouted loudly in his room before rushing in.


    On Qiao Liangjin''s paper, there was a zither master.


    He suddenly felt his heart tighten.


    There used to be a ''Peace Seal'', but now there was another ''Bai Wu''.


    There was no way this would appear.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Bai Wu-shuang who was in the painting with satisfaction, and asked, "I''m very good at drawing, am I right?"


    That''s right, she was really mesmerizing. That cold expression of hers only warmed Qiao Liangjin''s heart a little.


    She stroked her zither with her bare hand.


    Looking at the painting, he could almost hear the sound of the zither flowing out from within the painting.


    How much she cared about Bai Wu Chen.


    Qing Qing could not help but ask, "Bai Wu... Why him? "


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his chin, looked at his painting, and also shook his head. "I don''t know why, but I felt that he was so different."


    Her clear heart was filled with shouting, "I''m actually not the same!"


    Qiao Liangjin looked outside and saw that it was already dark.


    She turned around and went behind the screen.


    After a while, Qiao Liangjin, who was dressed in a tight suit, appeared.


    "Where are you going?"


    "To see Bai Wu." Qiao Liangjin chuckled and tapped the tip of the little fox''s nose.


    Qing Qing felt like her lungs were about to explode.


    Try to take a deep breath.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin jump, he easily flipped over the wall and left.


    Zi Yan entered the room and saw that Qiao Liangjin was not there.


    He cleared his throat and said, "I went to the gatehouse to look for Bai Wu."


    Zi Yan nodded in realization, then asked curiously, "Yu Sheng, are you jealous?"


    Su Qingqing stomped her feet and blushed. "I won''t be jealous. That rude woman, how can she be worthy of my jealousy?"


    Zi Yan covered her mouth and laughed. "Looking at your appearance, you''re really jealous."


    After closing the door, Su Bai took out the wine that was hidden behind the makeup table.


    He wanted to go to the grocer''s lodge. He wanted to see what Qiao Liangjin was going to do.


    A feeling of dizziness came over him.


    Qiao Liangjin swaggered into the gatehouse.


    An Ge saw Qiao Liangjin and covered his lips as he smiled. "Young Master Qiao."


    Qiao Liangjin used his chin to point at Bai Wu, who was playing a zither on the third floor.


    An Ge nodded and had the attendant bring Qiao Liangjin up to the second floor.


    Not long later, Bai Wu was brought in.


    Qiao Liangjin''s back was facing the door as he gazed out the window at the night sky of the Imperial City.


    Bai Wuju entered the room and closed the door, standing upright at the entrance.


    "May I ask what are your orders, sir?"


    "Curious about you." Qiao Liangjin turned around and looked at Bai Wuyi with a smile.


    Bai Wu Chen''s eyes froze for a second.


    Was she Qiao Liangjin?


    How could she have such a slim figure?


    "Hello, Miss Qiao." Bai Wuya bowed politely.


    "Where are you from? Where did it come from? Why would he lose his memories? Also, why do I feel like you know me? " Qiao Liangjin still stood by the window and asked his question.


    "Bai Wu really did forget." Bai Wu answered seriously.


    A pair of clear eyes stared calmly at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin walked in front of him and raised his head to look at his watery eyes. He smiled and said, "Do you mind warming my bed in the future?"


    Bai Wu Chen''s eyes turned cold.

 C43 Dark-killing God of the Night

    Her calm eyes, at this moment, looked down sorrowfully at Qiao Liangjin''s delicate face.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly ached for no reason. His heart ached for this man who had concealed all of his emotions.


    Lu Li, who was standing on a mulberry tree in front of the little grocer''s lodge, shook his head and sighed.


    What was so good about this woman? All she had to do was want to include a handsome man, why was it that the Seventh Prince disliked her so much?


    Look, there''s going to be another warm bed soon.


    Lu Li looked into the sky, feeling indignant. In the end, he decided to clear the news out.


    Just as he was about to release the pigeon, he suddenly felt the branch beside him sink slightly.


    A black shadow crouched beside him and was about to chop at him with his hand, but was stopped. A clear voice said in a low voice, "Stop messing around, it''s me."


    Lu Li looked at the Seventh Prince, who was dressed in red, in surprise.


    How did he arrive before letting the pigeon out?


    After waking up, he hurriedly left the prince''s mansion. This leap in his journey only had one thing on his mind. He had to keep an eye on that bold and audacious woman.


    At this moment, Bai Wuqing, who was in the room, moved her gaze away and glanced outside the window.


    His hand lightly caressed Qiao Liangjin''s face.


    The well-defined finger gently caressed Qiao Liangjin''s cheek.


    The callus on her finger gently scraped her delicate skin.


    With a cry of surprise, Qiao Liangjin was lifted up.


    Bai Wu walked straight to the bed.


    Qing Qing, who was standing outside the window, frowned. She stood up and was about to jump into the window lightly.


    Before Qiao Liangjin could even get close to the bed, he rolled over and got up from the bed.


    She looked at Bai Wuchen in shock.


    "Are you sure?"


    "You said you needed me to warm the bed."


    "Then lie down." Qiao Liangjin''s lips were somewhat dry. He leapt up from the bed, feeling that he had lost his composure.


    Even though she wasn''t a girl that cared about purity, even though the man in front of her was beautiful enough to eat.


    But what she wanted was an emotional relationship.


    Bai Wuqing obediently laid on the bed.


    Underneath the wide white robe, a skinny chest was revealed, and a beautiful collarbone was revealed that was trying to seduce the girl before him.


    Qiao Liangjin stared at the exposed skin for a long time. Finally, he swallowed his saliva, sighed, walked over and put his clothes away.


    The look in Bai Wu Chen''s eyes changed slightly.


    Sitting on the bed, Qiao Liangjin put his hands on his knees and said seriously: "I don''t know why you would approach me like this. I don''t know if you are friend or foe."


    Bai Wu listened quietly to Qiao Lianjin''s words. A faint warmth flowed out from his eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin wanted to say something and scratched his head. Ai, this problem is really bad. As long as there''s a good-looking man in front of me, she would say something incoherently.


    Standing up, with his hands behind his back, he walked straight to the door.


    Just as he went downstairs, An Ge hurried over, "Young Master Qiao. You''re leaving just like that? "


    "Yes, he''s gone. Don''t let Bai Wu show his face." Qiao Liangjin walked to the first floor and turned around to look at the second floor.


    Bai Wujing stood quietly on the second floor as he looked down at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment and pressed a finger to his lips, then threw him a flying kiss. He then laughed out loud and swaggered out of the grocer''s lodge.


    Walking in the darkness of the night, Qiao Liangjin purposely took a step forward like a man. After some thought, he fished out a fan from behind his waist and fanned himself with it with a "Pa" sound.


    The appearance of a popinjay was really ten times more than what he looked like.


    The night wind was very cold, and Qiao Liangjin was greedy for the cool night air. He slowly walked into the alleyway, after he passed this alleyway, he would turn left and he would reach the exterior wall of the Flowermoney Pavilion.


    Leisurely walking in the alleyway, Qiao Liangjin could not help but want to sing.


    It was strange that the cat fighting on the wall and the owl howling were all gone today.


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks.


    The silence was so strange.


    Even without those sounds, there should be at least some chirping.


    At this moment, Teng Qingshan suddenly felt a sense of danger that he was born with.


    Qiao Liangjin said to himself, "Ah, the shoelaces have been opened. "Squat down and tie it up."


    Just as he bent down, a black shadow appeared behind him and chopped heavily at Qiao Liangjin''s back with a saber accompanied by a strong wind.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly rushed forward and a steel dagger appeared in his hand. He turned around and saw that the dagger had already entered the black shadow''s body.


    Qiao Liangjin gave another kick, and the black shadow was kicked away.


    Standing up, Qiao Liangjin leaned his back against the wall and held the dagger in his other hand. His pair of bright eyes stared at his surroundings.


    Someone was trying to kill her.


    Who was it?


    Four figures flew down from the wall.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart was beating rapidly. It had been a long time since he last killed anyone.


    The smell of fresh blood faintly stimulated the wild beasts that were lurking in her heart.


    At this moment, there was only excitement and no fear.


    A dagger gently slid across the night sky like a beautiful waltz, gracefully dancing in the alleyway.


    By the time Qiao Liangjin had recovered, the five corpses were lying quietly on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin took off the mask of one of the corpses. He didn''t recognize any of them, so he was a stranger to them.


    He wiped the dagger lightly on the man in black and said with satisfaction, "I thought this body was not very powerful, but I didn''t expect it to be as useful as before."


    He put the dagger back into the boot and picked up the fan that was covered in dust. Then, he walked towards the residence.


    Lu Li followed her into the alley. He examined all the corpses and replied seriously, "They all died in one hit."


    Su Qing nodded.


    Wasn''t Qiao Liangjin a young lady from the Shangguan family? Why was he so adept at killing people?


    Judging from his movements and blade technique, he seemed to be a well-trained assassin.


    Lu Li scratched his head and asked, "Do you still need me to protect her?"


    She cleared her throat and asked coldly, "What do you think?"


    Lu Li had a bitter face as he grabbed his hair with both hands and asked, "Does she need protection?" I think she should be around 100 feet away from us. "


    After clearing up, he turned around and looked at Lu Li who had a bitter face and smiled, "Is that so?" Why do I feel like thirty meters is not enough? Why don''t you go to Floating Cloud Villa?


    Lu Li immediately put on a respectful front and walked towards the corpse, "I don''t think it''s right for Miss Qiao to leave her corpse here like this. When Miss Qiao kills in the future, I''ll clean up later. I''m really happy to be on the battlefield."


    Su Bai nodded in satisfaction, touched the tip of his nose and followed behind Qiao Liangjin.


    The only one left was Lu Li, who had a bitter look on his face. He took out a whistle and blew it thrice.


    When Qiao Liangjin returned to the yard, the little fox jumped out of the room with a ''sou'' sound. The little nose continuously breathed in the air.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and took off his clothes in the yard.


    She knew that the little fox''s nose was very sharp. It must have smelled the scent of blood.


    The Spirit Swirl seemed to have sensed it as it transformed into a human form and ran out. Its eyes were filled with anxiety as it said, "Master, why is there such a strong stench of blood on your body?"


    Qiao Liangjin was wearing only a close-fitting undergarment and a pair of shorts. He stretched his back and said to the Spirit Swirl: "He killed people. Wake me up. I want to take a bath. "


    Spirit Swirl nodded and ran towards the room not far away.


    The maidservants also hurriedly ran out, wearing only the middle clothes.


    He grabbed Qiao Liangjin and checked all over the place, only to find that she was completely unharmed. Then, he went to fetch some water to boil the fire.


    Qiao Liangjin leaned against the tub as he washed the blood off his body.


    The three female servants surrounded her.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin tell her what had happened in the alleyway.


    As he spoke, he did something that caused the three maids to exclaim in surprise.


    The little fox, Yuesheng, was lying quietly by the side, watching Qiao Liangjin taking a bath.


    The Seventh Prince was truly curious. What was so good about this woman? She was crude, vulgar, lustful, and also aggressive. Listening to her talk about killing people, she seemed to be very ordinary.


    For the sake of seeing this woman, he actually said that he would give her the thousand-year-old blood jade from Mount Kunlun for cultivation.


    The next day.


    Qiao Liangjin then told Bai to go out and inquire about what happened in the alleyway last night.


    Not long after, Bai came back.


    Bai said in surprise, "No one reported the case to the government. They said there was a corpse. I checked the alley again. There was no body, no blood, and if it weren''t for the few drops of blood on the wall, I would have thought Miss was joking. "


    Qiao Liangjin was also a bit surprised. Who helped her finish up?


    He was really considerate.


    Breaking his fingers, he thought about the person who might be helping him clean up.


    Perhaps the most likely one would be Ningguo.


    I must thank him when I see him again.


    Qiao Zheng was very satisfied with his daughter''s recent behavior of not leaving the house.


    It seemed that her daughter had grown up.


    After the conversation in the study that day, he found out that his daughter was more sensible than he had imagined. He felt gratified, but also a little sad.


    Originally, he could let his daughter be carefree and without worries, but now, he had allowed his daughter to bear all the hardships of the world with him.


    When he thought of his daughter being so well-behaved, he suddenly wanted to go and see Qiao Liangjin.


    Just as he arrived at the Golden Flower Pavilion, he heard a child''s laughter coming from the courtyard.


    Qiao Zheng was startled. How could there be a child''s laughter?


    Ah Kuan who was cleaning at the door saw Qiao Zheng and he ran in to report.


    Qiao Zheng walked into the courtyard carrying his doubts.


    Qiao Liangjin was currently holding the two children as he prepared to enter the house.


    Qiao Zheng''s head felt like it was about to explode.


    Qiao Liangjin was pulling a little boy and a little girl to his left and right.


    From the looks of it, it seemed to be very intimate.


    Upon closer inspection, the boy actually looked very similar to a person.


    Qiao Zheng''s brain was working at high speed. Who was it, who was it?


    After Qiao Liangjin received the report from A-Kuan, he quickly pulled two small things with the intention of hiding them. However, he didn''t expect that the Prime Minister''s footsteps would be so fast.


    Qiao Liangjin looked awkwardly at Qiao Zheng then looked at the child who was holding onto his left hand and said for some reason, "Father, this situation and what you think ¡­"


    With a wave of his palm, Qiao Zheng swiftly walked up to Yu Sheng and squatted down to face him.


    Wasn''t the phoenix eyes, the nose, and the lips like they were just another clearing up?

 C44 Closing the Door to Ask for Your Hand in Marriage

    He looked at the little girl he was holding in his other hand. She had big eyes and a small mouth. Her face was so similar to Qing Shui''s, but her facial features were exactly the same as Qiao Liangjin''s as a child.


    Qiao Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air as he weakly sat on the ground.


    His cute daughter was actually secretly knotted with the Seventh Marquis when they were secretly touching!


    At this moment, his mind was in a mess. No wonder he cleared the request for marriage. No wonder his daughter had always refused.


    No wonder he rarely came to this courtyard.


    Qiao Zheng held onto his own hair nonstop. Heavens, this was the biggest scandal in the world.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Zheng''s expression and knew what he was thinking. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he explained, "Father, this is not my child."


    Qiao Zheng''s head was buzzing as he could not hear Qiao Liangjin''s words.


    He raised his head and sighed, sadly saying to the sky, "I let you down. I didn''t take good care of our daughter."


    He then shook his head and stood up. Suddenly, his steps looked old. Step by step, he walked towards the outside of the Flower Ginseng Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and looked at Yuesheng and the Spirit Swirling Swirl. He pointed at his own face and asked, "Do they look like me?"


    The people standing in the yard all nodded.


    Qiao Liangjin bent his waist as he smiled. He pinched Yu Sheng''s face and then the Spirit Swirl''s face before saying, "Hurry up and call me mother."


    Qiao Zheng sat in his study room in a daze as he could not hear a word that Joan of Arc had said.


    After thinking for a long time, Qiao Zheng abruptly stood up and pushed her away. He said, "If there''s anything I need to say, I''ll come back first. I need to go out now."


    Zhen Yuan looked at Qiao Zheng''s back as he left and lowered her head. There were countless words written on the paper ¨C Child.


    He was in the middle of dealing with some official business when he heard the butler say that Prime Minister Qiao was seeking an audience at the door.


    Surprised, he quickly went out to greet them.


    Looking at Qiao Zheng''s gloomy expression, she did not know how she had offended him.


    He welcomed the person into the hall.


    Before he could take his seat, Qiao Zheng cut straight to the point. "I wonder how Seventh Prince plans on dealing with Jin''er and those two children."


    "Huh?" A pair of children?


    He looked at Qiao Zheng blankly.


    Qiao Zheng looked on in confusion as his anger flared. So it turned out that this ungrateful man had no idea he still had a child!


    "Seventh Prince, as a man, what responsibilities do you have to understand? Why do you treat your own children so indifferently when all you know is that you shoulder the responsibility of the King?"


    He still looked confused.


    Children? Children? Why did he suddenly have a girl and a son?


    Could it be ¡­ Was Qiao Liangjin pregnant?


    Whose child was he carrying?


    Qiao Zheng looked at Qing Qing''s shocked expression and thought he had remembered. He flung his sleeves and snorted. "Look at that son. He was carved from the same mold as you."


    Qing Qing rubbed her nose. A son that looked quite similar to her?


    He suddenly realized what had happened. He had thought that Yu Sheng was the son of Qiao Liangjin and himself!


    He couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Master, This King understands." He heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair opposite Qiao Zheng.


    Seeing that he had acknowledged her, Qiao Zheng gave an inexplicable sigh of relief. Then he said, "Then when is the Seventh Prince planning to marry Jin''er? Since we already have children, it''s better to be early rather than late. "


    Su Chen cleared his throat and thought back to how Qiao Liangjin rejected him for a thousand miles. The smile on his face disappeared and he paused for a moment before he shook his head and sighed, "I can''t marry him."


    Qiao Zheng was unhappy. What did it mean that he could not marry? What did ''can''t marry'' mean?


    You''ve already accepted this child, so why can''t you marry him?


    Qiao Zheng stood up and pointed at his clean nose, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.


    Ye Zichen pointed at her nose for a long time, but didn''t say anything in the end.


    Flinging his sleeves, he left the Seventh Marquis Mansion in a fit of rage.


    He sat calmly in his seat.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t want to marry, but she didn''t want to.


    He never wanted to force her to do anything she didn''t like.


    Life was still very long, and he remembered her writing on a piece of paper as she said, "In this life, I must be willing to marry the person I love and give birth to a bunch of children. If you''re unhappy, you won''t be happy even if you''re immortal. "


    She didn''t even know how much trouble that "I can''t marry" had caused her.


    Qiao Liangjin still ate, ate and slept every day. When he was free, he would go to the grocer''s to listen to Bai Wu''s zither play.


    Strangely enough, Ning Xi had not come since the last time she had come to admire the flowers.


    Qiao Liangjin did not intend to ask.


    Occasionally, he would take out the jade green flute in his sleeve to play with it.


    Qiao Liangjin realized that Qiao Zheng had been very busy lately. He would only occasionally see her in the garden and would only shake his head slightly.


    When he arrived at the little grocer''s lodge, he heard about the big thing his father was doing.


    His father was searching everywhere for evidence to clear up the matter and was preparing to send it to the imperial court.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed the tip of his nose and pondered deeply all the while. What''s wrong with his father? Didn''t he say he was going to hide his strength to recuperate?


    Why did it have to be opposed to clearing up the tension?


    Chopsticks lightly tapped on the table.


    Bai Wuxun served the wine and asked, "What''s the matter, Miss Qiao?"


    "It''s nothing. Bai Wu, do you know martial arts? " Qiao Liangjin propped himself up and looked at the man in plain clothes.


    Bai Wu shook his head and passed his arm to Qiao Liangjin. He said softly, "I can''t learn without such good Innate Ability."


    Qiao Liangjin knew what he meant. He wanted to test if Su Chen had any inner strength.


    She pushed his arm away and shook her head with a smile. "Forget it, you won''t. I''ll protect you from now on."


    Bai Wu Chen''s hands froze as he looked at the heartless woman in front of him with a pair of peach blossom eyes.


    She said she wanted to protect him?


    Bai Wu''s heart warmed as the corners of his eyes became slightly moist. He raised his cup to cover his face with his sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.


    With these words, Bai Wu Chen''s life would definitely be given to her.


    Still humming a song, she walked into the alley where she had killed five people.


    At the mouth of the alleyway stood a man in white.


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He quickly rushed over and threw himself into his arms, "Ningxi!"


    Ning Xi''s smile was still as warm as ever as she held Qiao Liangjin in her arms.


    Qiao Liangjin''s ear was pressed against Ning Ying''s chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.


    "Jin''er, I missed you." Ning Ying smelled Qiao Liangjin''s fragrance and said softly.


    "I wanted to ask where you had gone to, but after some thought, I decided not to." Qiao Liangjin raised his head.


    In the darkness of the night, Ning Ying''s body emitted a faint orchid fragrance.


    Touching Ning Xi''s abs, Qiao Liangjin''s brows furrowed. "Why have you lost weight?"


    "I heard you have a new pet now?"


    "How did you lose weight?"


    "The new pet is rumored to be even prettier than I am?"


    "Have you returned to the Southern Kingdom?"


    "I heard you killed five people in half an incense stick''s time?"


    Qiao Liangjin lightly hit Ning Xi''s chest shyly and coquettishly said, "Aiya, I''m so hateful now that I know about this?"


    Ning Xi had never seen Qiao Liangjin like this before. She blinked her beautiful eyes, and her palm instantly landed on Qiao Liangjin''s forehead.


    Is she sick? Is she having a fever?


    Qiao Liangjin''s smile froze on his face.


    What does that mean? Didn''t they say that men love the appearance of a girl the most?


    He slapped away Ning Ying''s hand.


    He angrily pushed him away and headed straight for the Prime Minister''s residence.


    How could Ning Xi know what the little girl was thinking? She was rather baffled, but she obediently followed behind her.


    When she was about to flip over the wall, Ning Xi grabbed the back of her collar.


    "Hey hey hey, what''s wrong with you guys? Your height is amazing!" This was not the first time that Qiao Liangjin was being held by the nape of his neck.


    "With me here, do you still need to climb the wall?"


    With just a blink of an eye, Ning Ying had already carried Qiao Liangjin on her back.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was lying right behind Ning Xi, smiled evilly. "You''re bringing me somewhere again, aren''t you?"


    Ning Xi turned her head and smiled at Qiao Liangjin. "Close your eyes, and have a good rest. When you open your eyes, we''ll be there."


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed the tip of his nose, nodded, and smiled: "Okay, at least I trust you."


    Ning Ying gently flew through the city, the moon in the sky as the white-robed Ning Ning Xian flew past Xuanyuan Royal City like a fairy.


    Lu Li looked at the black face on the wall and asked, "Your Highness, are you coming or not?"


    "Go back." Su Qian slowly spoke after what seemed like a long struggle.


    So what if he followed her? He knew Qiao Liangjin very well. He only had a casual personality and did not act as he pleased.


    Qiao Liangjin was lying on Ning Xi''s slightly thin shoulder. Ever since they parted ways to admire the flowers, he had become frighteningly thin.


    His finger gently traced across Ye Zichen''s shoulder.


    Ning Ying didn''t seem to have noticed her actions. He was thinking in his heart that if she had seen that place, she would definitely be pleasantly surprised.


    All the way to the edge of the western mountains.


    Ning Xi put down Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin said in surprise, "Isn''t this the Western Mountain? It seems to be very close to my father''s villa."


    Ning Ying looked up at the cliff and smiled, "I''ll take you up the cliff later."


    Without any change in his expression, he walked past the Fallen Cloud Manor. Ning Xi pulled Qiao Liangjin to the well in the backyard.


    He pointed to the bottom of the well.


    Qiao Liangjin was a little curious and he lowered his head to take a look.


    There was nothing in the well, it was just a pool of clear water.


    Ning Xi wrapped her arms around her waist and lightly landed inside.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart skipped a beat and he immediately held onto Ning Ying''s waist tightly.


    Before they even touched the water surface, Ning Xi nudged the wet wall with her foot and lightly knocked on a protruding brick three times.


    The bricks on the wall were slowly pushed back.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at her in surprise. It was the legendary hidden door, the legendary underground tunnel.


    Surprise was written all over his face.


    Before she could say anything, she broke free from the seal and lightly jumped into the small door.


    The moment he stepped into the room, the candles on both sides seemed to have sensed his presence and lit up.


    A long corridor appeared in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin cautiously stopped. He picked up a small stone and gently threw it over.


    Ning Xi had no idea what she was doing.


    There was no mechanism. Qiao Liangjin patted his palm and said with a smile: "So there isn''t a mechanism."


    It was only then that Ning Xi had a sudden realization. He pointed at the door and said, "After this door closes, this road will change. By using mechanisms, I''m afraid I''ll hurt you."

 C45 There Was Another World

    "Where would that road go?" Qiao Liangjin was curious. He touched the wall as he slowly moved forward.


    "Go where he''s supposed to go." Ning Ying said indifferently.


    "Then how can I guarantee that I won''t go that way?"


    "You have my jade flute on you."


    "Wow, this is amazing. It''s even more amazing than our scan." Qiao Liangjin''s mouth was wide open in shock.


    He then gave a weird smile and asked narcissistically, "Have you been digging up tunnels these days?"


    Ning Ying was slightly startled, she finally asked herself.


    He nodded and shook his head. He quickened his pace and walked in front of her. Very naturally, he held her hand.


    It was still a little cold.


    On the surface, this woman was warm and cold in her heart. Even her hands were slightly cold.


    After walking for a short moment, the view before them suddenly lit up.


    In the open field of vision, there was a pool of water in the center of the cave, and the clear water slowly flowed.


    He raised his head and saw the huge Night Pearl embedded on the roof of the abode. At this moment, it was glowing brilliantly.


    Qiao Liangjin gave a thumbs up. "You really are very generous. There are only a few of these Night Pearls in the entire Xuanyuan Royal City, but you actually got more than twenty of them. You sure are rich. Take it out, don''t hide it. "


    When Ning Ying heard her questions, he couldn''t help but laugh. He lovingly pinched her face and said, "Marry me and I''ll give you all the wealth that can rival a kingdom."


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled and walked towards another spacious cave. All the daily necessities were in his possession.


    There were even granaries containing food and other items.


    Qiao Liangjin thought of the bomb shelter in "The Futurist".


    She asked doubtfully, "Ning Xi, you''ve never done anything senseless. Why is there everything here?"


    Ning Xi did not answer. She just held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and walked towards a cave entrance. The wind blew through the cave entrance.


    Qiao Liangjin discovered that the opening was right above the cliff face just now.


    "Jin''er, none of us know what will happen tomorrow, this is my gift to you."


    Qiao Liangjin pursed his lips, suddenly not knowing what he should say.


    She owed him more and more.


    When they got back, Qiao Liangjin''s words suddenly disappeared. He looked like he had a lot on his mind.


    Ning Xi asked with her back facing Qiao Liangjin, "What, you don''t like that place just now?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s nose felt slightly sour as he said softly, "If I could, I really hope that I wouldn''t hide here for the rest of my life."


    The wind passed between the two of them. Qiao Liangjin suddenly hugged Ning Xi''s neck tightly and took a deep breath. He smiled. "How strange. Why are you so relaxed here?"


    Ning Xi did not say anything, just continued walking. Her pair of black crystal-like eyes were still filled with warmth.


    He did his best to give her the greatest sense of security he could.


    Qiao Zheng had been incredibly busy these past few days but he kept tossing and turning in his thoughts in search of something to report, only to realize that he had been purged too cleanly.


    What if he dragged the two children to the imperial court and let the emperor see for himself?


    Qiao Zheng leaned against the chair with a slight headache.


    She knocked on the door and disappeared into the room.


    Looking at Qiao Zheng''s headache, she walked up to him and gently massaged his head.


    Qiao Zheng felt that the greatest advantage of a chaste heart marrying him was that this woman was quiet and would never ask him about anything else.


    He closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage of her heart.


    After a while, her heart softly asked, "I heard that Master is collecting the evidence of the Seventh Prince, why is that?"


    Qiao Zheng did not open his eyes but merely acknowledged.


    After waiting for a while, her heart realized that Qiao Zheng had no intention of continuing. She too quieted down.


    After a while, he asked again, "Recently, a child''s voice has been heard from the Flower Ginseng Pavilion."


    Qiao Zheng finally opened his eyes, his nose "Hmm?" He made a sound.


    "Someone in the manor said that it was ¡­"


    "Say what?"


    "He said he was Jin''er''s illegitimate child." The hand of her chastity was suddenly empty.


    Qiao Zheng sat up straight, his brows knitted tightly.


    What was there to be afraid of?


    "You are the Matriarch of this house. Don''t you know how to stop these songs?" It was hard to tell if Qiao Zheng was angry or not from his tone.


    Zhen Zhen Xing nodded, "Yes."


    Qiao Zheng seemed to notice that his tone was a little heavy and sighed. "Yuanxin, my tone is a little heavy."


    Zhen Zhen Xing gave a shallow smile: "Master is talking about foreign flowers, we are husband and wife."


    However, his eyes dimmed for a moment.


    Qiao Liangjin had an expression of yearning for spring as he laid on his pillow and looked at the female servants who were walking around busily in front of him.


    She really wanted to talk to someone.


    Talk about Bai Wu, talk about Ning Ying, talk about ¡­ Clear up?


    I don''t think I''ve seen much recently.


    Qiao Zheng ran over to ask her to take responsibility. She was in charge of nothing. Who knows, he might be cursing at her in his heart.


    He brought two oil bottles with him.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin''s bored look, Ruo Lan sat on the stool beside the bed and said, "Recently, Miss often goes out on her own. I wonder if Miss has anything new to tell us?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes lit up as he hugged his pillow and sat up.


    Then he began to talk about the people he had seen recently.


    When she talked about the indifferent Bai Wuyi and the meticulous Ning Ying, she secretly kept the matter of the cave dwelling in her heart.


    Ruo Lan thoughtfully asked, "Who were the five people you killed that night? Why was it all clean in one night? "Not a single trace was left?"


    Qiao Liangjin had a look of extreme helplessness as he shook his head. "I really don''t know who did this. I asked Ning Gun, but he didn''t answer me. Apart from him, I can''t think of another person. "


    "Is it possible that it''s the Seventh Prince?"


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he laughed and then his face turned cold, "How could he be like this? How long has it been? Ever since my father gave him the responsibility, he''s been unable to find him."

 C46 Monastic Recognition

    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s slightly disappointed tone, Pai Dai stopped embroidering and smiled at the Eldest Miss, who was pouting her lips. "So, why do you say that your servant was truly disappointed?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s face immediately flushed red, and he threw the small pillow he was hugging towards Dai Di.


    Dai Di slightly dodged, but when she put her hand on the silk handkerchief, she was unexpectedly pierced by an embroidery needle.


    With a cry of alarm, Pai Dai raised her ring finger, and a drop of fresh red blood hung from the nameless bead.


    Qiao Liangjin was about to say, "Are you alright?"


    Dai Di immediately held her finger, and looked at Qiao Liangjin as she smiled and shook her head.


    He was looking for a place to clean up when he heard Bai''s nervous voice at the door. "Muse, I heard you yell, what''s wrong?"


    "It''s nothing. My finger was pierced by a needle."


    "I was really careless. I gave you this pill. I bought it from Hundred Herb Hall. It won''t hurt. "


    Qiao Liangjin, who was lying on the bed listening to the heated conversation outside, suddenly laughed mischievously. He turned to the other two maidservants and said softly, "I thought only Ah Kuan would like the makeup. I didn''t think that Bai, who was sitting quietly, would like the makeup as well."


    Zi Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Everyone knows about this courtyard. "But the makeup didn''t seem to notice."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were filled with peach blossoms, "Wow, so that''s the relationship."


    She entered the room and looked at the three people inside. They all had a deep smile on their faces. For some reason, they walked to the dressing table to take a look. Their faces were clean.


    "Why are you smiling at me so strangely?"


    Qiao Liangjin retracted his smile and yawned. He said seriously: "You saw wrong, but you didn''t see it wrong."


    The other two women started laughing again.


    While they were talking, the butler got Ah Bai to pass on a message saying that Master Ri was going to burn incense in the Golden Buddha Temple with her and two children.


    When Lan Lan heard this, she couldn''t help but laugh.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the two little imps who were sleeping soundly on the beauty bed and shook his head. "I really have nothing to say about my mother."


    Before dawn, the little fox, Yu Sheng, and the Grass Fairy''s Swirl were woken up.


    Spirit Swirl looked up and asked Qiao Liangjin: "Do I need to turn back into grass?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook her head, tidied up her yellow clothes and said: "Today we will go to the Golden Buddha Temple together, remember to call me mother along the way."


    Yu Sheng pursed his lips in displeasure. "Why should I? A sixteen year old girl is not married yet."


    Another heavy explosion.


    "..." "Mom."


    "Good boy."


    Qiao Zheng looked at the smiling Qiao Liangjin who was bringing out two jade carvings of children, and his heart once again felt a wave of sorrow.


    It was no wonder that her daughter was so madly infatuated with him. She had given birth to his child.


    No, I''m not a gentleman if I don''t take revenge.


    Qiao Zheng''s face grew dark, causing Qiao Liangjin to be tempted to laugh.


    However, she decided not to say it out loud. Her inexpensive father''s imagination was so rich that she could not bear to have his imagination destroyed.


    Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well clear the place out.


    Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the two horse carriages drove out of the Royal City.


    Qiao Lengjin staggered on the carriage, almost falling asleep.


    However, Yu Sheng was leaning against the window happily, looking outside. From time to time, he would point at the scenery outside and talk to Spirit Swirls.


    Qiao Liangjin had the urge to press the adhesive tape against Yu Sheng''s mouth.


    Recently, the little fox had been splitting apart very badly. Sometimes quietly and foolishly looking at him, it would even give him some advice and criticisms. Sometimes, it would suddenly become lively and cheerful as it talked non-stop while holding the Spirit Swirl.


    If there was any Heavenly Book that could be shown to her, tell her what illness this fox, who had a blood contract with her, was suffering from.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the Golden Buddha Temple, they had yet to get off the carriage when they heard Qiao Zheng''s voice. "Seventh Prince, what a coincidence."


    The body that was about to move suddenly froze.


    It was no wonder that it was so festive today. Qiao Zheng had said that he would come to offer incense.


    She was bringing her and the "children" to perform a wonderful act of fatherhood.


    He raised an eyebrow at Yu Sheng.


    He then said with a smile, "Children, get out of the car. Let''s go and recognize our father."


    Yu Sheng''s face fell.


    The human world is really hard to understand.


    Reluctantly, Qiao Liangjin pulled her down from the carriage, and the two children hid behind Qiao Liangjin.


    After clearing his mind and preparing to enter, he heard the sound of horse hooves and turned his head to see Qiao Zheng looking at him with a smile.


    Su Qing silently cursed, "You old fox."


    He turned around and clasped his hands. "Master, what a coincidence."


    Qiao Zheng returned the greeting with a smile then beckoned to Jin''er. "Jin''er, bring the children out with you."


    Su Qing touched the tip of her nose and remained calm.


    He wanted to see what Qiao Zheng wanted to do.


    Sure enough, this old fox had brought his daughter and the two so-called "grandchildren" to block the road.


    The Golden Buddha Temple was far away from the Imperial City. No one knew what sort of scenes were being played out here today.


    What a good scheme.


    He was getting more and more interested in this scheming future father-in-law in front of him.


    Qiao Liangjin''s plump body blocked the two children as he slowly moved forward, step by step.


    His expression was sorrowful, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.


    It was a sorrowful, miserable scene.


    He cleaned up his hands behind his back and looked at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips quivered slightly as if he wanted to say something. However, when it came to his mouth, he didn''t say it.


    Qiao Zheng however, pulled Yu Sheng out from behind.


    Her clear expression turned cold, as if she was very surprised.


    Qiao Zheng''s expression changed seeing this, his heart becoming more balanced.


    Alright, now you can torture a child who has tortured me for so many days.


    He walked over quickly and squatted in front of Yu Sheng. He seemed to be very excited and touched his little face, as though he found something unbelievable at the same time.


    "Is he my son?"


    Raising his head to look at Qiao Liangjin, his face was filled with shock.


    When Qiao Zheng saw that he was about to recognize his child, his heart was more balanced.


    Ye Zichen nodded seriously.


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin pulled the child back and started sobbing while hugging Yuesheng, "Seventh Prince ¡­" "No, don''t say it."


    Qiao Zheng shook his head and sighed. His daughter had really paid too much of a price for this man.


    Qiao Liangjin''s head was pressed against Yu Sheng''s chest, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.


    Seeing his daughter so upset, Qiao Zheng could not bear to see her in such a state.


    Qiao Liangjin squatted with his head down, laughing to his heart''s content.


    This'' quiet ''guy really knew how to act. He was even more spirited than when he was acting.


    Qiao Liangjin smeared the spittle at the corner of his eyes.


    He then looked up with a sad expression and said, "Dad, let''s go home. I don''t want to be here. I don''t want my Yu Sheng to be in such a difficult situation."


    Yu Sheng raised his head obediently and looked at Qiao Zheng with teary eyes, his face filled with grief. "Grandfather ¡­"


    This calling him grandfather caused Qiao Zheng''s heart to soften.


    He also felt that he had gone too far.


    Seeing that Qiao Zheng''s expression was about to soften, he hurriedly embraced the two little demoness and Qiao Liangjin in his arms.


    He also looked at Qiao Zheng with a sorrowful expression. "Father-in-law, your son-in-law is wrong. Your son-in-law wants to be with your child and your mother and have a chat with you."


    Qiao Liangjin was dumbstruck. Ai, this, this, how did it end up like this?


    Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows.


    Qiao Liangjin was so angry that his nose was crooked.


    Qiao Liangjin jumped up and slapped himself in the face. Following that, he pulled Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan behind him, pointed at the imperial city and bellowed: "Didn''t you fall in love with Yu Linglong? Aren''t you going to be together forever?


    He was unable to defend himself in time and was slapped in the face by Qiao Liangjin. Five finger prints appeared on the right side of his smooth, jade-like face.


    Su Qingyun''s slender fingers touched his face and smiled, "Jin''er, you''ve always misunderstood me, always misunderstood me. I only have you in my heart. "Look, the child is already so old. It''s time for you to get married and marry you back, and give the children a name."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed in his heart. This man''s skin is really thick. Why is he so happy about this black pot?


    Qiao Zheng almost wanted to clap for his daughter''s slap.


    The old fox felt that if he could see Su Qing being beaten everyday, it would be a joyous thing.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face twitched.


    He pointed to the right side of the Golden Buddha Temple and said, "Sister, there''s a forest over there. There are persimmon seeds this season. I''ll bring you to pick one, okay?"


    To the side, Spirit Swirl, who was quietly cooperating with the performance, repeatedly nodded his head.


    There was nothing more appropriate than to slip away now.


    Yu Sheng pulled his spiritual whirlpool and ran away.


    Only a few people were left standing at the entrance of the Golden Buddha Temple.


    Qiao Liangjin decided to break the silence. "Seventh Prince, although you and I had a night of relationship, fate does not matter. The child is mine now, so I will not take him."


    "Jin''er!" "Nonsense!" Qiao Zheng immediately cut him off when he heard the Spirit Swirl.


    He cleared his innocent expression and stood in place like a child who had made a mistake.


    Looking at it this way, Qiao Zheng suddenly understood one thing. It was clear that they wanted his daughter and that their daughter did not want him.


    Clearing his eyes of Qiao Zheng who was standing to the side and noticing that he had come to a realization, he coughed twice. Feeling wronged, he touched his own face and said, "Father-in-law, don''t make things difficult for Jin''er. Once she has thought it through, I will marry her again.


    Qiao Liangjin snorted with his nose to the sky. Using a piece of roasted meat to change his mind?


    After all that that Ning Xian Seal has done for you, you can be comparable to a clean slate.


    After some persuasion, Qiao Liangjin followed Qiao Zheng into the Golden Buddha Temple to offer incense.


    After Qiao Zheng had given the incense, he went to the back to look for the Grandmaster.


    Leaving Qiao Lengjin who was bored to death, as well as Su Su Su Qing, who stared at each other.


    The monks coming and going in the long corridor were not good places to talk.


    Su Qing made a gesture of invitation and then looked at Qiao Liangjin with a smile.


    Qiao Liangjin knew what he meant and thought that he didn''t dare to go.


    Just go.


    A small Sharmie led the two of them up to the third floor. The entire pavilion was filled with muslin. As the mountain breeze blew, there was an endless white muslin.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and said: "The temple is a good temple, this place is not a proper place."

 C47 Teach a Lesson

    After clearing up the mess, Zhang Xuan nearly spat out his tea.


    Only Qiao Liangjin could say such words.


    "Well, no questions? "Then why are you so willing to take the blame?" Qiao Liangjin casually sat in front of Qing Shui and picked up his teacup.


    "By the way, have you seen what is called a whale?" Before she could answer, she suddenly asked.


    Su Qing shook her head.


    Qiao Liangjin picked up the teapot and removed the teapot''s lid. Then he opened his mouth and gulped down the tea in the teapot.


    He wiped the corner of his mouth and placed the teapot on the table.


    He grinned.


    Su Qing was stupefied.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded in satisfaction.


    He sat down proudly.


    Su Qingqing suddenly laughed out loud. She laughed so unbridled that she almost slammed the table.


    He then laid on the table and looked at Qiao Liangjin lovingly. The corners of his lips curled up, "I really like your shameless look."


    Qiao Liangjin calmly rolled his eyes. "Thank you for your praise."


    The two of them sat quietly in the attic.


    Qiao Liangjin stared blankly at the crown of the tree outside.


    She looked at Qiao Liangjin in a daze.


    Not long later, the screams of children could be heard from below the pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin was shocked and quickly jumped up and ran downstairs.


    Su Su Su also stood up and flew down from the window in the attic.


    Qiao Liangjin ran in the direction of the sound. What she heard earlier was Yu Sheng''s voice.


    Yu Sheng was not a naughty demoness who would make a fuss unless he encountered an emergency.


    Before she had even arrived, she had already seen from afar that Qing Yi''s Cleansing Mist was having a battle with a black-clothed man.


    Yu Sheng pulled the Spirit Swirl and ran towards her.


    Qiao Liangjin held onto the two of them as he anxiously examined them.


    "What''s going on?"


    "That man, he''s groping here and there when he sees me. He even brought out a knife, ready to cut my wrist." Yuesheng pursed her lips and looked at Qiao Liangjin aggrievedly.


    What kind of person was Qiao Liangjin!


    Right or wrong, if you touch one of her people, you''re looking for trouble with her.


    Raising her skirt, Qiao Liangjin rushed to the back of the man in black and kicked the man in black''s back without a care.


    The black-clothed man had already sensed that someone was coming from behind and was preparing to dodge, but he didn''t expect that the person behind him would be so rude and quick.


    Before he could get to the side, he was heavily kicked.


    He jumped forward, cleared his throat, and dodged to the side.


    The black clothed man acted as if he was eating shit and lied down on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was originally very, very angry, couldn''t help laughing out loud when he saw this scene.


    The man in black did not seem to be angry. He simply turned around and laid on his back with his legs crossed and looked at the people in front of him with a smile.


    "You''re not a pedophile, are you?"


    Qiao Liangjin picked up a branch from the ground and poked his thigh.


    The man in black was not angry, instead, he was smiling, looking at the chubby Qiao Liangjin who looked like he was protecting a baby.


    "This little fox is yours?" he asked, swinging his legs.


    "Otherwise? Is it yours? This question is truly strange. " Qiao Liangjin harrumphed.


    "Give it to me. I will give you a lot of gold and silver." The man in black felt uncomfortable lying down, so he stood up and dusted himself off.


    "Yoh, this man is so rich. Give me 10 million gold first. I''ll spend it first. If it''s comfortable, I might consider giving it to you."


    Qiao Liangjin''s sharp teeth were facing each other.


    Yu Sheng hid behind Qiao Liangjin, only exposing one eye as he carefully observed the man before him.


    When he kicked earlier, he didn''t see what the man in front of him looked like until he stood up straight and stood in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    The originally angry Qiao Liangjin suddenly became a little short of breath.


    There was no other way. Her problem in this life was that she was lustful.


    As long as she saw a good-looking man, she would forget everything in this world.


    Clearing the room, Ning Xi was considerate and gentle. The man in front of her was indeed boorish.


    His wide robes revealed a little of his chest, which was the color of honey. It shone in the autumn sun.


    Under his slender eyebrows was a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. They seemed to bloom all year round, like a pair of black gemstones in his eyes.


    People say that the eyes are the window of the soul, and every handsome man is different, but only the eyes can betray a person''s soul.


    His body had the aura of a royal, which was why his eyes were so unrestrained.


    Su Qing turned her head to look at Qiao Liangjin who was silent and sighed. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corner of her mouth.


    Qiao Liangjin finally regained his senses and smiled awkwardly.


    The black clothed man suddenly felt that this fat woman in front of him was very interesting.


    Although he was fat, his movements were light and graceful.


    The eyes and actions of the man in green beside her all showed that he was extremely concerned about this woman.


    The two little imps behind the woman were also of the highest quality in the world.


    Interesting and interesting. Having traveled so many places, he had never seen such an interesting person.


    Qiao Zheng''s voice came from afar.


    The man in black smiled and asked, "You are Jin''er?"


    "I am Qiao Liangjin, may I know your name? Come and play with me when you''re free! " Qiao Liangjin blurted out.


    The black clothed man laughed out loud. This woman was really crazy.


    She should be the first person who could see that he was drooling.


    "Nangong, I''ll definitely pay you a visit if I have the chance." The black-clothed man left his name, then turned around and waved his hand as he left.


    He watched as the tall and straight man walked further and further away.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin come back to his senses.


    He quickly pulled the two little imps towards the door.


    She didn''t want to ask Su Qing why she wasn''t jealous, why she was so calm.


    If she didn''t love him, then she wouldn''t mind. It was such a simple principle, but she understood it in that world.


    Su Qian looked at the three of them as they walked further and further away and coughed.


    Lu Li jumped down from the tree.


    "Have Lu Xin check this Nangong. He gave her a fake name." Qing Qing stood by the persimmon tree.


    Thinking of Qiao Liangjin''s appearance, he could not help but smile again.


    Lu Li felt like his master had gone crazy.


    A woman who could drool just by looking at a beautiful man, and could even leave her own name, could she take it?


    But he did not want to become a swordsmith.


    Well, maybe Master likes to be abused.


    There were all sorts of people in the human world.


    With a sigh, he accepted his orders and left.


    By the time he arrived at the residence, it was already dark.


    Qiao Zheng then let Qiao Liangjin bring his two children into the Flower Gold Pavilion.


    Qiao Yue-er stood by the moon gate, biting her finger as she watched Qiao Liangjin pull the two children into the yard.


    He turned around and returned to his room.


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin was in the midst of narrating her actions today. Everyone in the courtyard was laughing non-stop.


    At the door, he heard Qiao Ya''s thin voice asking, "Is elder sister in?"


    At that moment, the little fox, Yu Sheng, had transformed into a silver fox and was curled up asleep on the beauty bed.


    The Spirit Swirl was also transformed back into the Mimosa Grass and left in the yard.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the door with his chin, indicating that Ruo Lan should open the door.


    The sky had already darkened. What was Qiao Ya doing without sleeping?


    Qiao Liangjin, who was stepping on a stool, put his hands on his hips and waited for Qiao Ya to enter.


    Qiao Ya walked in with Qiao Yue''er.


    Qiao Ya''s eyes looked all around her, as if she was looking for something.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and asked, "What are you looking for?"


    "I wonder where the madame''s leopard cat went. Send us to look for her." Qiao Yue-er interjected.


    Qiao Yue''er spoke as she walked towards the back of the screen.


    Purple smoke lightly floated in front of Qiao Yue-er, blocking her path.


    Qiao Liangjin was very satisfied and revealed an expression of "Girl, you did well. I really admire you. I''ll definitely give you more monies this month".


    Qiao Yue-er''s temper immediately flared up. She pushed away the purple smoke and shouted, "What are you doing? Why aren''t you letting me in? Is there anything shameful?"


    Qiao Liangjin knew that they must be here to cause trouble.


    "The shameful things that I have here, I don''t have. However, there is one now, and not only that, there are two. "


    Qiao Liangjin took his feet off the stool and sat on it.


    He carefully examined his nails.


    Recently, there were a lot of meat thorns around his fingernails. It was time to eat more vegetables.


    Qiao Ya''s face suddenly turned somewhat ugly. However, she forced out a smile. "Elder sister must be joking. We are here to find the old mistress'' cat."


    "No. "Go somewhere else." Qiao Liangjin steeled his heart and refused to give in no matter what he said.


    He came and went as he wished, and what was he supposed to be here?


    Qiao Yue-er turned her head to look at Qiao Ya, not knowing what to do.


    Qiao Ya frowned and shook her head slightly.


    Qiao Yue''er suddenly pushed down the purple smoke and ran inside.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the purple smoke on the ground and became furious.


    The next second, he grabbed Qiao Ya by the throat and gently lifted her up.


    Qiao Ya only saw a white figure flash before her eyes. At this moment, both of her feet had left the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze was ice-cold to the bone. His almond eyes were slightly squinted as a faint murderous intent made Qiao Ya''s back wet.


    "I told you, don''t move my people. "Hmm?"


    This En, slightly raised, was stabbed into Qiao Ya''s heart like a knife. Then, it was slowly pulled out.


    Qiao Yue''er could only see that the fox was sleeping behind the screen, but she could not find anything else.


    Disappointed, he came out from behind the screen to see his sister being lifted up by Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Ya grabbed Qiao Lengjin''s arm with both hands and struggled desperately with both legs.


    The air in his lungs was thinning.


    Qiao Yue-er screamed and pounced towards Qiao Liangjin.


    It was as if Qiao Liangjin had eyes on the back of his body. He sent Qiao Yue-er flying with a kick, crashing into the screen.


    The screen fell to the floor.


    Qiao Yue-er moaned and couldn''t get up no matter how hard she tried.


    Pai Di pulled up the purple smoke, walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side and whispered: "Miss, don''t be angry, just teach them a lesson and don''t hurt their lives. In any case, it''s your little sister, if something happens in our yard, we''ll be in trouble in the future."

 C48 Ning Chung

    Qiao Ya breathed with difficulty, her face turning from red to purple.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly laughed. It was a very cool laugh.


    Releasing her hand, Qiao Ya fell onto the ground.


    She desperately clutched at her chest, trying to catch her breath.


    Qiao Liangjin squatted in front of her, pinched her lower jaw, and took advantage of the moment she opened her mouth to stuff a smelly pill into her mouth, and then fiercely slapped her back.


    With that, Qiao Ya swallowed the pill into her stomach.


    She knew things were not going well, so she coughed with all her might. She dug into her throat, wanting to spit out the pill she had swallowed.


    "Xiao Ya, remember, every full moon, you must ask me for the antidote. Do you understand?"


    Qiao Ya coughed to the point that she was about to cry. Her pair of teary eyes stared furiously at Qiao Liangjin.


    "Since your skills are inferior, you have to admit defeat." Qiao Liangjin''s voice sounded like a demon from hell.


    Qiao Ya struggled to stand up and walked to Qiao Yue-er''s side. She supported Qiao Yue-er as they walked towards the door. Turning around, she said, "I''m disturbing elder sister''s rest."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and waved his hand. "Be good and go."


    Ruo Lan and Pai Di lifted up the screen and asked curiously, "What kind of wind did they have?"


    "He probably wants to come over to look for Yu Sheng and the Spirit Swirl, right?" Qiao Liangjin lazily took off the thick battle uniform on his body.


    "In the future, don''t let Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan spend too much time together in the courtyard. There are a lot of people who have been thinking about them recently. "


    The maidservants nodded.


    After Qiao Ya left the Flower Lover Pavilion, she stood by the pool and tried her best to vomit. However, nothing came out of her mouth.


    Qiao Yue-er had already regained her strength, but when she thought of Qiao Liangjin just now, her heart still palpitated in fear.


    Qiao Ya glared hatefully at the Golden Flower Pavilion and said, "One day, I will make sure that you will be eternally doomed!"


    Ning Xi came to pay her a visit.


    Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the news had spread throughout the entire Prime Minister''s Estate.


    Qiao Ya, Qiao Yue-er, and Qiao Ningzi were already dressed. They stood bashfully in the garden.


    Qiao Liangjin was holding onto the little fox as they made contact with each other on the garden''s pond.


    Seeing the three beautiful Qiao family girls, she scoffed, "They are all bewitching little bitches."


    The little fox who was about to collapse from exhaustion was lying on the shore, staring at Qiao Liangjin pitifully with his pair of starry eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin crooked his finger. The little fox happily crawled onto the shore.


    He shook his fur vigorously on the shore.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly pointed at the pool and asked, "Yusheng, what''s that in the water?"


    Upon hearing this, the little fox, Yuesheng, subconsciously looked into the water.


    The next second, he felt a foot on his hip. With a slight force, it fell into the pool again.


    The little fox struggled to swim in the water, angrily staring at Qiao Liangjin who was on the shore.


    Qiao Liangjin was laughing so hard that he couldn''t even move a muscle. He held his stomach and squatted on the ground, trying his best to punch the ground.


    The little fox felt despair towards its future.


    In his previous life, did he commit a great sin? Hence, he ended up in the hands of this evil woman this entire life.


    Before he could finish, a bare hand gently fished it out of the water.


    A white gust of wind floated across the pool and landed in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin only felt that the sunlight in front of him had been blocked.


    Looking up, he saw a pair of warm eyes smiling at him.


    She stood up and patted the dust off her hands as she said with a smile, "It''s you. It''s so hard to see you in broad daylight."


    "You must be bored, teasing this pitiful little fox." Ning Ying placed the little fox in his hand on the ground.


    The little fox angrily bit Qiao Liangjin''s bare leg and then left.


    Ning Xi looked down and realized that Qiao Liangjin was wearing a pair of strange shoes.


    His fingers were exposed, while his feet were exposed. His snow-white calves were also exposed.


    Her pearl-like fingers faintly reflected the light.


    This was not a scenery that could be seen in this dynasty.


    Qiao Liangjin knew that he was looking at his sandals. His toes moved as he asked with a smile: "Did it look good?"


    Ning Xi scratched Qiao Liangjin''s nose and said with a smile, "Of course it''s beautiful, it looks good no matter what you wear."


    Qiao Ya looked at Ning Ying standing in front of Qiao Liangjin and actually acted very intimate.


    Her fingers were intertwined. Why, why, why, why was the Ningxia Seal able to pay special attention to that fatty?


    She gathered her courage and lightly stepped forward to face Ning Ying. Her figure flashed as she said, "Greetings, Prince Ning."


    As if seeing Qiao Ya and the others, Ning Xi lightly smiled. But he didn''t answer.


    Qiao Liangjin swept a glance at the beautiful trio, he then tiptoed and whispered into Ning Ying''s ear, "The three of them dressed up all morning, they were waiting for you."


    Ning Ying smiled as he nodded his head. He then wrapped his arm around Qiao Liangjin''s waist and said softly, "Jin''er, I found something interesting for you and we''ve already moved to Flower Mansion. Do you want to take a look?"


    Qiao Ningzi''s eyes were straight. What did this mean? What was going on?


    Why did it seem like the two of them had known each other for a long time?


    Qiao Ya''s face was so gloomy that it could drip water.


    Ning Ying smiled faintly at the three women. "Can I trouble you to make way?"


    Qiao Liangjin really liked Ning Xi''s actions.


    With a heart full of joy, he casually let Ning Ying hug his waist as he headed towards the Golden Flower Pavilion.


    As soon as she entered, she saw a red coral as tall as a small tree placed in her room.


    Surprisingly, she circled the coral several times.


    He was speechless.


    She knew that wild red coral was extremely precious.


    However, this red coral was as tall as a tree; it was a priceless treasure.


    Qiao Liangjin could not believe it and was ready to bite off the red coral.


    Seeing that Qiao Liangjin was about to take a bite, Ning Xi quickly pulled her back and smiled, "Jin''er, you can''t bite that."


    "Who said I can''t bite? Weren''t all ancient people supposed to bite into gold and silver when they recognized gold and silver? Why couldn''t they bite off the red coral? " Qiao Liangjin asked confidently.


    These words actually stunned Ning Xi.


    Alright, this woman''s logic is usually a little strange. I can''t use normal people''s thoughts to consider her words.


    Ning Ying patiently replied, "If you bite it, it won''t be worth much."


    That worked.

 C49 Stirring up Right and Wrong

    It was as clear as the waves lapping on the shore, and as warm as the sun, it blossomed in this little pavilion.


    As if she had noticed that she had lost her composure, Ning Xian stopped smiling and coughed twice to cover up her loss of manners.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, held his face with his hands like a lovestruck, looking lustfully at Ning Ying.


    "Laughing a bit more, I haven''t seen enough."


    Ning Xi lovingly stroked Qiao Liangjin''s head and whispered into his ear, "Marry me and smile every day for you to see."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly froze and sighed. He spread out his hands and said: "You see, when it comes to serious matters, you immediately become dishonest."


    Ning Xi had long since gotten used to Qiao Liangjin''s words. She kept silent and smiled lightly.


    When they left the Flower Solo Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin only saw them to the door before he excitedly went back to his room.


    Ning Xi knew that she must be considering how to escape and take the coral tree away.


    He then just smiled and gave up.


    He walked slowly to the door.


    When he turned the corner and was about to reach the entrance, he saw a girl dressed in purple leaning against a pillar on the long corridor, looking at the chrysanthemums.


    Ning Ying stopped in his tracks. He knew this woman.


    Her scented sachet had been tucked into his sleeve as he walked past her.


    Ah Kuan was walking towards the front door when he sensed that the people behind him were no longer following him. He stopped and turned to face Ning Xi.


    Ning Ying waved his hand and said, "It''s enough for me to go out by myself, thank you."


    Ah Kuan nodded in understanding as he returned to the Golden Flower Pavilion.


    The stamp swept past the purple-clothed woman like a cool breeze, and the scented sachet in her sleeve fell to the ground.


    The purple-dressed woman picked up the scented sachet and hurried over. She took a few steps forward and stopped Ning Ying.


    Ning Ying frowned and lowered his head to look at the purple-clothed woman.


    He had already given her a lot of face and did not return the scented sachet to her face.


    Qiao Ning''s purple breath caught her breath. "Prince Ning ¡­"


    "May I ask who you are ¡­"


    "I''m Qiao Ningzi." Before Qiao Ning Zi could finish her sentence, her face turned red.


    "Is something the matter, Miss Qiao?" Ning Ying took a few steps back, opening up a distance between the two of them.


    "You can''t like Qiao Liangjin. She has such a poor evaluation of the wind ¡­" Qiao Ningzi''s face flushed red, not knowing what to do as she held the scented sachet.


    Ning Xi still had a faint smile on her face as she quietly waited for Qiao Ningzi to finish speaking.


    Hearing that Qiao Ningzi seemed to have stopped talking, his black gem-like eyes blinked, and he maintained his courteous demeanor. "Miss Qiao didn''t say anything, right? This King shall take his leave. "


    "Fragrant Sachet."


    "Sorry, This King does not like this strong fragrance." Ning Ying turned around and quickly walked towards the door.


    When the ten guards at the door saw Ning Xi coming out, they immediately jumped onto their horses.


    Ning Xi held onto a white horse and looked towards the door. After confirming that the heartless Qiao Liangjin would not send him off, she jumped onto the horse.


    Qiao Ningzi held onto the door post and bit her lips. She looked at the departing figure of Ning Xi with unwillingness, almost wanting to tear the scented sachet in her hands to shreds.


    Upon entering, Ah Kuan told Qiao Liangjin about the matter of Qiao Ningzi blocking the way.


    Qiao Liangjin was sitting right in front of the coral tree, one hand touching his chin and the other holding a dagger.


    ''Ning imprint, this idiot! Such a big tree and such a windy sight! When the time comes and the family really runs away, I won''t just give this tree to the emperor for nothing! ''


    Hearing Kuan''s words, she continued to smile faintly.


    It was just a green tea bitch, she didn''t care at all. If Ning Xi couldn''t even resist a b * tch like this, then forget it.


    Finally, he found a seemingly redundant branch from the Red Coral Tree. He slowly cut it down with a knife and passed it to Violet Smoke.


    Zi Yan held the red coral in confusion.


    "This branch is enough to make a pair of coral earrings for you three sisters and deliver them to Xiao Rong."


    After thinking about it for a long time, he finally cut off a piece of the red coral tree.


    The news that Ning Ying had given Qiao Liangjin a coral tree spread throughout the Prime Minister''s estate in a short while.


    The madame sat in the garden while Yun Chu unwrapped the melon seeds and placed them in a small bowl on the round table.


    The old mistress stuffed the seeds into her mouth one by one.


    Wen''er hurried over and lightly tapped the old mistress'' shoulder. She reported in a low voice, "Prince Ning has come to the mansion today to deliver a red coral tree the height of a man to Eldest Miss."


    The madame''s hand stopped.


    They already knew that the South Sea''s coral was very valuable, but they didn''t expect that they would be able to send over a coral tree with such a large sum.


    "And then?" The old mistress'' aged voice sounded.


    "Then Miss hid the tree in her room." Wen''er''s voice became somewhat shrill.


    Yun Chu stopped and raised his eyes to look at the old lady.


    The old mistress'' expression was clearly rather unsightly.


    Yun Chu slightly shook his head at Wen''er, signalling for her to stop talking.


    Wen''er glared at Yun Chu angrily. She then said, "Besides, no one here has seen this coral tree."


    The madame''s face darkened.


    Wen''er, on the other hand, was in high spirits. "I say our eldest miss is really amorous. This Seventh Prince is proposing to her, while Prince Ning is proposing to her. That Xiao Rong ¡­"


    "Enough!" The old mistress'' cane hit the floor heavily.


    Wen''er was so shocked that she immediately shut her mouth.


    The fat on my face was trembling.


    "I would like to take a look at what kind of tree it is. I would also like to see what kind of incredible ability this grandson of mine has!"


    With that, the madame stood up and walked to the Golden Flower Pavilion with Wen''er''s help.


    Qiao Ningzi was about to return to her own courtyard when she saw the madame angrily rushing towards Qiao Liangjin''s courtyard with her two maids. She hurriedly walked over and held onto the madame''s other arm.


    The madame looked at Qiao Ningzi, her undisguised anger was faintly discernible in her eyes.


    Qiao Ningzi''s heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, "Old madam, don''t be angry with yourself. Where are you going?"


    The old mistress'' face turned even redder.


    "I''m going to take a look at that shameless Qiao Liangjin!"


    Qiao Liangjin was meditating in his room. These days, the luck from the pills that he had received from the Toning Seal had made him feel more and more stable. Internal energy was still very useful in this dynasty.


    He had always been a nimble woman, and killing people was only a matter of time. Now that he had inner force skills, his results were twice the result with half the effort.


    He gently crushed the cup in his hand into powder.


    Ruo Lan said with a pained expression, "Miss, that cup was a new one ¡­"


    "F * ck, why didn''t you say so earlier ¡­"


    At this moment, the elderly woman''s aged voice sounded from the door.


    "Qiao Liangjin!"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes. She had already guessed that this coral tree would definitely cause a storm in this family.


    At least his guess was not wrong.


    Qiao Liangjin got off the bed.


    Walking to the door, he welcomed the madame with a smile. "Aiya, madame, why have you come? My granddaughter has been too busy lately to greet you."


    When the madame saw Qiao Liangjin''s shameless appearance, she became even more upset.


    Looking over, he saw a coral tree taller than a man standing in Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    The old mistress'' anger rose rapidly.


    "Bastard." The old mistress'' crutch struck heavily against the limestone tiles.


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit unhappy when he heard this.


    What, you''re so angry with me for keeping such a precious thing?


    Looking at the pair of emerald bracelets on her wrist, the madame smirked.


    She knew that this pair of jade bracelets belonged to Qiao Liangjin''s mother. It was taken away by this old lady after her death.


    What was shameless?


    Qiao Liangjin was standing right in front of the door, blocking it.


    "I''m sorry, but I have a treasure in my room, so I won''t be inviting everyone in. If we lose something, it will not be fun if we alert the officials in the capital."


    The meaning behind his words was that, since both of your hands and feet were dirty, I would not be at ease if you came in.


    The faces of the few people standing by the door all changed with a "whoosh".


    Qiao Liangjin shot a look at Bai who was standing at the side.


    Bai sensibly took out a chair and placed it beside the madame. He respectfully invited her to take a seat. "Old madam, please take a seat."


    The old mistress kicked the chair down.


    Qiao Liangjin could not help but applaud. "The madame is getting stronger and stronger with her old age. Her kick was so beautiful. If you go to the old age football team and play your part, you will at least bring glory to our country."


    The old mistress looked up at Qiao Liangjin''s smiling face.


    Although she didn''t understand this football team, what kind of heat and glory it was, what came out of her mouth was definitely not good news.


    "Your place here is too expensive, I don''t dare to sit here." The old mistress'' voice was old but sharp.


    "The madame must be joking. Who doesn''t know of this residence? You should sleep on a white jade pillow. Under the bed, there is a good rosewood bed."


    Qiao Liangjin narrowed his eyes, not at all bothered by the madame''s words.


    Joan of Arc came with her two daughters and Joshua.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the increasing number of people in the yard and waved his hand. He smiled and said, "Go and close the door for me. Don''t let the eyes of others dirty my treasure."


    When chastity heard this, her face immediately flushed red, but her voice remained calm. "Jin''er, although this is a gift from Prince Ning, it''s also for our Prime Minister''s Residence ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin scratched his ears as the corner of his mouth hooked up, "I''ve never heard Ning Ying say that this is for the Prime Minister''s Mansion."


    Joan of Arc''s expression froze.


    She did not expect Qiao Liangjin to not give her any face at all.


    Qiao Yue-er could not contain her anger and stood up angrily, "Qiao Liangjin, no matter what, my mother is still your mother. How can you speak to your mother like that?"


    Qiao Liangjin used his hand to make a awning as he looked into the distance. He leaned over and asked, "Why do I hear mosquitoes buzzing? It''s already late autumn, why are there still mosquitoes?"


    When Jose Yuan saw what Qiao Liangjin was like, he couldn''t help but burst out laughing.


    On the other hand, Qiao Ya ruthlessly pinched Qiao Siyuan''s arm.


    The madame''s anger grew even more. She could tell that Qiao Liangjin would not let her touch the coral tree today.


    He harrumphed, "This Qiao family is not up to you, little girl."

 C50 Big Brothers Accident

    Qiao Liangjin replied with a faint smile, "It''s not up to anyone else to decide."


    Just as he finished speaking, Qiao Zheng''s voice came from the back.


    "What is this? Why are they all gathered here? "


    Qiao Liangjin''s chin slightly tilted as he crossed his arms. He looked at the crowd before him.


    "Jin''er, I''ve told you before, you''d better not take Prince Ning''s gift. It''s too heavy." If you don''t put it away properly, what happens if it gets lost? " Qiao Zheng walked to the front of the group and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was proudly raising his chin.


    "Yes, daughter will keep it well." When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he was overjoyed.


    Look at what it means to love a girl.


    Other than Qiao Siyuan, the rest of the people behind Qiao Zheng all had their expressions change.


    Qiao Zheng turned and sized everyone up before his gaze fell on his mother.


    The old mistress puffed up her chest and looked at Qiao Zheng frankly.


    Qiao Zheng gave a sigh as he walked in front of the madame, gently supporting her as he said: "Madame, your health is not good and your wealth is great. It is best that you do not come in the future."


    Qiao Liangjin could not help but want to applaud Qiao Zheng. Look at how manly he was, he knew how to speak.


    Qiao Zheng then waved his hand, sending everyone out of the restaurant. "Let''s go, let''s go. This is a gift from Prince Ning. Don''t even think about it."


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin called out to Joshua.


    Qiao Siyuan smiled and jogged over. Holding Qiao Liangjin''s waist, he raised his head and asked, "Big sister, big sister, I missed you so much."


    Qiao Liangjin pinched his face and smiled, "Come, let big sister open your eyes."


    Everyone turned their heads and watched as Qiao Liangjin pulled Joss into the house.


    Qiao Ning Zi''s pupils shrank as a sharp light flashed in the depths of her eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to have felt that gaze and turned his head to look at her coldly.


    Qiao Ningzi hurriedly retracted her gaze and turned around to help the madame walk out.


    Qiao Liangjin was very happy with his younger brother, so he once again pondered and then took off another piece of red coral, handing it to Jos.


    "Elder sister, can I really stay? Mother said that this item is truly very, very expensive. "


    Qiao Liangjin bent over and patted the top of Qiao Siyuan''s head. He smiled slightly and said, "No matter what kind of thing it is, if you like it, then it''s a treasure. If you don''t like it, then it''s trash."


    As he finished speaking, he stood up and stared at the huge red coral tree in a daze.


    Just as Joe Siyuan was about to put the red coral away, Qiao Liangjin said, "How about I find a craftsman to carve out a copy for you?"


    When Qiao Siyuan heard this, he quickly handed the red coral to Qiao Liangjin and nodded excitedly, "Write it, Qiao Liangjin will give it to Qiao Siyuan."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. He rubbed the top of her head and asked: "Do you really want to write like this? After writing it like this, it might become worthless in the future. "


    Qiao Yifan shook his head furiously and said, "Don''t, don''t, don''t sell. Siyuan will always be by my side."


    Lu Li squatted on the tree and wrote on a piece of paper, "King Ning has sent you such a big coral tree. It seems like he has successfully bought the hearts of people." Miss Qiao is giving it away at the saw tree. "


    After thinking for a moment, he wrote another few words. "She''s afraid that she won''t be able to escape when the time comes."


    After he finished reading the note, he crushed it and held it in his palm.


    This Ning Ying really did give him what he wanted. He knew that Qiao Liangjin was the most greedy now.


    Touching the bridge of his nose, he wondered what he should do.


    "Your Royal Highness, the investigation has been investigated."


    He tapped the table lightly with his clean fingers. "Speak."


    "The Sixth Prince of the Southern Palace, Nanli."


    Her clear fingers paused, and her long eyebrows slightly knitted together.


    South Parting? Sixth Prince.


    He wanted to seize the throne, but he had never been favored by his father, so he had always roamed the four seas.


    He had wanted the fox that day.


    He didn''t like the fact that more and more accidents were happening around him.


    It was all an accident that he had used the ''Halcyon Reflection'' and ''White Fingerprint''.


    Qiao Liangjin''s habit of drooling whenever he saw a beautiful man made him feel uncomfortable.


    Thinking of Bai Wu, he asked again, "Bai Wu, where did you get this from?"


    The soldier shook his head, "Bai Wu is a person who appeared out of thin air. He has no history, no internal energy, and no one he knows."


    "I remember he had a man in red beside him. Where is he?"


    "The man in red seems to have been taking care of Bai Wu, but he doesn''t have any background."


    Su Chen sighed and gently drew circles on the table with his finger. After a while, he said, "I don''t want any danger to appear around Qiao Liangjin and pay close attention to those two people."


    The soldier bowed and left.


    Only then did Qing Shui realize that there was a single word written unceasingly in the circle: Jin.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.


    The one who woke people up every morning, Qiao Liangjin, was gone.


    On the other hand, there was a storyteller Qiao Liangjin at the end of the bridge.


    Every day, he would sit at the end of the bridge and narrate a story while dressing up in a hair-raising manner.


    She loved Qin Ji the most, so she explained the story in detail to everyone.


    He lowered his head to drink his tea and silently noted down a single word: Transmigration.


    Almost everyone was cheering.


    Qiao Liangjin was happily counting the silver taels. There was actually someone who gave her a Golden Leaf.


    By the time she went to thank someone, that person had already left.


    Zi Yan tugged on Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve and said, "I can see that his figure really misses the Seventh Prince."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows. He gazed into the distance.


    When he returned to the residence, he heard some noises coming from the yard.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled a servant and asked, "What happened?"


    The servant who was pulled by Qiao Liangjin quickly knelt down and said: "Someone sent a message saying that the young master is in trouble."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes.


    A disaster?


    Who was killed?


    Had she heard wrong?


    Qiao Liangjin squatted down and asked softly: "Which young master?"


    The servant wiped away his tears and said, "Young Master Qiao Ruo Ying." Allegedly, because of a traitor, they brought the young master past a line of heaven, that was the mountain rocks rolling down, the young master ¡­ "Young master ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin could no longer hear the rest of his words.


    There was only one voice lingering in her mind. Qiao Ruo Ying was dead. Qiao Ruo Ying was dead.


    She slowly stood up and swayed a few times. She was supported by Ruo Lan and Pai Dai who were by her side.


    Ruo Lan urged anxiously, "My lady, you must grieve!"


    Mourning? Hehe, Qiao Liangjin laughed miserably.


    My ass!


    He was the one who requested for Qiao Ruo Ying to enter the battlefield.


    It was she who, for Qiao Zheng and himself, had asked Qiao Ruo Ying to go to the battlefield and build her career.


    She suddenly felt her heart ache so much that she couldn''t breathe. She desperately clutched at her chest, wanting to breathe a little more.


    Dai Di looked at her and burst into tears, but she quickly held the back of her chest.


    He had lost his composure.


    But why did his heart hurt so much? Qiao Liangjin really wanted to pull out his heart out and throw it on the ground, then desperately stomp on it a few times.


    He staggered back to the main hall.


    Seeing Qiao Zheng sit on the chair, she fell to her knees with a plop and slowly knelt down. She hugged Qiao Zheng''s leg and asked, "Brother ¡­"


    Qiao Zheng who was also immersed in immense pain slowly opened his eyes upon hearing Qiao Liangjin''s voice.


    How could his originally bright eyes become so cloudy, as if he were an old man in his prime?


    "Your brother ¡­" Qiao Zheng''s voice trembled as soon as he finished speaking.


    He looked towards the sky, but his tears kept rolling down from the corners of his eyes.


    In the past, the mother of these two children had repeatedly reminded her to take good care of them. But now, Qiao Ruo Ying had passed away at an early age.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Zheng''s appearance and shook his head furiously, denying with all his might, "Have you found the corpse?"


    Qiao Zheng shook his head weakly.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and wiped away the tears on his face.


    He had a determined look on his face. "I don''t believe it, I don''t believe that Qiao Ruoyin will die just like that. Who is he? He is the brother of me, Qiao Liangjin, an indestructible cockroach. "


    When chastity heard Qiao Liangjin''s words, she pressed her handkerchief to the corner of her eyes while consoling him, "Jin''er, if you say it like this, your father will be even more hurt."


    Qiao Liangjin''s cold eyes swept over the people in the room.


    How many of them were secretly happy?


    Other than her, only Qiao Zheng was truly saddened.


    They wanted her dead, but she didn''t believe them.


    If he was alive, he wanted to see people. If he was dead, he wanted to see corpses.


    She did her best to convince herself that Qiao Ruo Ying was still alive before patting Qiao Zheng on the shoulder vigorously. With a smile in her tears, she said, "Father, don''t cry anymore. I don''t believe that my brother has such a short life span. "


    Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Liangjin and saw that her eyes were filled with determination. He was slightly shaken. It was said that Qiao Ruo Ying had been killed, but now that there was no corpse sent back, he had his own questions.


    He sighed and let Qiao Liangjin wipe away his tears. Then, he pressed his palm on the back of Qiao Liangjin''s hand.


    "I believe in you. I believe your brother isn''t dead."


    Joan lowered her head and wiped away her tears, but a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.


    When Qiao Liangjin saw the look in her eyes, he immediately became suspicious.


    He comforted Qiao Zheng without batting an eyelid.


    Deep in the night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.


    Qiao Liangjin had changed into a set of black clothes.


    He stuck the dagger into his boot.


    Her hair was tied together in a ponytail.


    He called for Yu Sheng and the Spirit Swirl.


    Yu Sheng looked at the bag she had prepared and asked, "Where are you going?"


    "I will take you to the border city with me. Leave behind the Spirit Swirl and help me look after this courtyard."


    Spirit Swirls naturally followed the path of nature. What did she mean by that? Her spiritual energy was too low. By the side of this coral tree that could only be produced in a thousand years, it could speed up her cultivation.


    Furthermore, she could protect this tree well and prevent anyone from discovering it.


    Yu Sheng pursed his lips, not wanting to part ways with the spiritual whirlpool.


    Although he was a lesser demon, he knew that if it wasn''t for Qiao Ruo Ying''s matter, she wouldn''t have brought him along.


    He could only bid farewell to the Spirit Swirl: "Remember, protect yourself. Don''t trust anyone. Don''t leave this courtyard. You must wait for me to come back."


    The three maidservants also stood at the door, saying in unison, "Bring us along."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you think I''m out on a vacation?"


    Zi Yan looked at the other two and said calmly, "Miss, my martial arts are the best. I need someone to take care of you, so please let me go with you."


    Qiao Liangjin frowned slightly as he pondered.

 C51 Big Brother Savior

    Outside the door, Ah Bai and Ah Kuan were already kneeling on one knee.


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows suddenly relaxed, and he laughed: "Okay, then Bai and Zi Yan will come with me. "The rest of you, take good care of my Golden Flower Pavilion."


    A few of them still wanted to petition, but Qiao Liangjin stopped them with a pause.


    They had been following her for quite some time now, and they knew that her decision would not change.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and walked out of the yard. He saw that there were already three horses in the yard.


    She smiled faintly. "Purple Smoke?"


    Zi Yan had already mounted one of the horses. She gently raised her whip and said, "Miss, let''s leave quickly."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and also got on his horse. He kicked the horse hard and said: "Let''s go!"


    The three horses galloped away, leaving behind the crisp sound of hooves.


    When Lu Li saw this, he became anxious. He had only observed Qiao Liangjin''s daily activities, so how could he have expected her to leave like this?


    He quickly wrote a note and whistled.


    A shadow appeared in the dark night. Lu Li handed the paper slip to the shadow and said, "Send it to the Seventh Prince right now. I''m leaving first."


    Jumping down from the Qiao family''s courtyard wall, he could only run to the city wall and use the Seventh Prince''s plate to get a horse. With a flip of his body, he followed Qiao Liangjin out.


    A black shadow flew out after him.


    After receiving the dark guard''s message, she immediately slammed her palm on the desk.


    He had also received the news this morning, and he had already felt that something was amiss at the time. He wanted to send someone to investigate it in detail. Why was this woman so impatient, and he ran out.


    He walked out of the study and whistled three times into the air.


    Dozens of dark guards flew in from every direction.


    "All of you, go to Shengcheng and take care of Miss Qiao Liangjin. If anything happens to her, all of you need not come back." He gave the order.


    One of the guards asked hesitantly, "We''ve all left, there''s no one by your side."


    "Do I need a secret guard?"


    Saying that, he gently pointed with his finger, and an icy Qi flew out from his fingertip, dispersing the hair knot of the dark guard who had asked him that question.


    The hidden guards were startled, and quickly left the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion.


    Qiao Ruoyin had died in the sky because she was led by a traitor.


    Then where did this traitor come from?


    Qing Qing rubbed her nose, she had already thought of a person.


    Deep down, he didn''t want to acknowledge this person.


    In the chrysanthemum restaurant.


    He quietly sat in front of the zither, using a white cloth to carefully wipe the strings.


    This was given to him by the zither master Qiao Liangjin. It was said that his name was Green Calyx, and in the entire Xuanyuan Royal City, there was no such zither.


    He had tried the zither music before, and it was indeed pleasing to the ears. When he asked Qiao Liangjin about it, she simply smiled and did not answer.


    They had already heard that this guqin was being worshipped in Yue Lao''s temple.


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s mischievous smile, he could guess that the origins of this zither was not that easy.


    Thinking about Qiao Liangjin''s lazy look, his lips curled up slightly.


    Just as he was thinking, the zither string in his hand suddenly broke.


    Bai Wu Chen stared at the broken string in a daze.


    Had something happened to her?


    Tightening his heart, he flew out of the Ju Hua Hall.


    Before he landed on the ground, a red figure had followed him out and landed beside him.


    She pulled him back and asked in a low voice, "Master, what are you going to do?"


    "Qiao Liangjin might be in trouble." Bai Wuchen''s voice was somewhat urgent.


    "Master ¡­" "You can''t go." The red clothed man''s voice also sounded somewhat anxious.


    "Hongchen, get out of the way." Bai Wu looked at the red robed man with a determined gaze.


    The red clothed man seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Bai Wu Chen and shook his head.


    "Master, did you forget? Our job is not to save her. " Hong Chen kindly reminded him.


    Bai Wu Chen''s face instantly turned pale.


    He lowered his head and bit his lower lip.


    After a long while, he raised his head and smiled, "My mission has changed, Red Dust."


    That smile was like the bright and clear moonlight, like the clear wind and bright moon, like everything in this world that was the most beautiful.


    Hong Chen looked into his determined eyes and smiled bitterly. "I knew that such a day would come ¡­"


    Bai Wuchen landed gently between him and Hong Chen. He shook his head slightly, "Hong Chen, don''t follow me."


    Hong Chen shook her head, her eyes red. "Master, what are you saying? I saved Hong Chen''s life, so I will bring her with me wherever I go."


    With that said, he flew up the stairs again in a flash. Not long after, he took the green calyx into his arms.


    Bai Wu Chen looked at the body of the zither.


    He then flew straight towards the residence.


    He landed softly in the Flower Lover Pavilion and headed straight for Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    Before he could even reach the door, he felt like he had collided with something.


    A barrier?


    The goblin made a barrier.


    She originally thought that she was carrying a little fox spirit, but she didn''t expect that there would actually be a flower spirit here.


    Bai Wu stood at the door with both hands behind his back. He said in a clear voice: "Bai Wu has come to visit Miss Qiao."


    The door opened, but only half of her face was visible.


    Dai Tai looked at Bai Wu Chen in shock.


    "Bai Wu? Why is it you? "


    "Where''s Miss Qiao?"


    "She ¡­" "He went out." Dai Li''s eyes rolled around, not intending to tell the truth.


    Bai Wu''s eyes turned cold as he asked patiently, "Today, I always feel uneasy. I don''t know what happened to Miss Qiao, can you tell me?"


    Pai Dai listened to Qiao Liangjin''s words the most. It was that indifferent Bai Wu, that angered face of the gods, that kept telling herself in her heart that she could trust Bai Wu.


    He pointed to the east and whispered, "Don''t tell me you''re talking about me after we go to Sheng Cheng."


    Bai Wu nodded slightly.


    He then turned around and disappeared from the spot.


    Pai Tai blinked, biting her finger and shook her head in surprise. "Didn''t you say he doesn''t know martial arts? Why do I see that this person doesn''t seem to be human?!"


    With that, he closed the door.


    Matte and Roulan had an even bigger mission to take care of. How could they not know that Qiao Liangjin had already left the Prime Minister''s Estate?


    Ling Suo watched the two of them put on their thick battle uniforms, and continued to apply makeup on their faces. He bit his finger and said softly, "Sisters, I will change."


    Saying that, he slightly turned around, and a person who usually appeared in front of everyone, Qiao Liangjin, appeared in front of the two servant girls.


    Pang Dai and Ruo Lan excitedly pinched Qiao Liangjin''s face, and then pinched her stomach. They both happily smiled and said, "This is great, this is exactly the same."


    Spirit Swirl shook his head and said, "Sisters, I can only endure for an hour. After an hour, I will return to my original form. I can only transform once a day."


    "One hour is enough."


    With that, he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, praying, "May the young miss bring the young master back safely."


    The road to Shengcheng was a long and arduous one.


    Qiao Liangjin did not know that she had two or three groups of people following her.


    The horse galloped for half a day before Qiao Liangjin finally stopped to rest.


    Leaning on the tree trunk, Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes.


    There was always a flash of a bloody figure in front of her eyes.


    She was scared. She was scared that once she reached the sky and saw Qiao Ruoyin like this, all her journey would be in vain.


    Closing her eyes and thinking about it, she knew that the trap had been set by the person above.


    For what?


    In order to weaken Qiao Zheng''s strength, he had suffered a setback and lost all hope.


    How heartless.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly thought of clearing his mind.


    That man who was as cool as the wind, would he know that he was the one who did it?


    Even if they knew, they would probably only have the power to maintain it. After all, they were brothers.


    Like her, when her brother killed someone, she would help him dispose of the body.


    Heh ¡­ I really hope that Qiao Ruo Ying isn''t dead. If he isn''t, then she can do whatever she wants.


    How many years had it been since she had felt the pain of losing her family?


    She touched her chest and still felt the pain in it.


    Zi Yan gently pushed her and asked, "Miss, how are you?"


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes and smiled at Zi Yan. He shook his head, "No problem. Let''s rest for another half an hour and continue our journey."


    Ye Zichen picked up the fox, who was already fast asleep, and threw it onto his backpack.


    Lu Li made a mark wherever he went, telling the people behind him which way Qiao Liangjin was going.


    While he was painting, he was filled with resentment, "What the hell am I doing? A secret guard follows a lady around all day."


    With that, he drew two more lines on the tree.


    Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes and rested for about half an hour before he suddenly opened his eyes. He suddenly stood up, dusted off the dust on his butt, picked up the little fox, and threw it on the horse. He mounted his horse and said, "Let''s go, we must make our way to Mi Jia Village."


    Qiao Liangjin''s actions along the way had shocked Bai.


    She knew that the little miss knew martial arts, but she didn''t know that her horse riding skills were also good and that her methods were strict.


    It was as if he had been trained long ago.


    Lu Li had always thought that other than being lecherous, there was nothing good about being lecherous.


    Unexpectedly, his performance on the way here was completely different from his usual self.


    For a moment, he thought he had followed the wrong person.


    He kept asking himself on the road if he was following the wrong person.


    It was already late at night by the time they arrived at Mi Jia Village.


    Qiao Liangjin opened an inn and asked for three rooms.


    He took off his coat and laid on the bed, moaning heavily.


    After a day''s journey, his inner thigh had already been grinded open.


    Only when he stopped did he feel like his entire body was falling apart.


    The little fox jumped onto the bed and started stepping on her back again and again.


    "Ai ai ai ai, if you want to sleep, then sleep. Can you stop trampling around on my back looking for a place to sleep?" I''m very tired. " Qiao Liangjin didn''t even have the strength to pull the little fox out of the ground.


    The little fox was unhappy when it heard this.


    Squatting to the side, he turned around angrily.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and looked at the little fox''s appearance. Suddenly, he laughed out loud. "Haha, I got it. Are you thinking of stepping on my back?"


    The little fox still had an angry look on its face.


    However, the claws began to gently draw circles on the bed.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and patted the little fox''s head. He smiled gently and said, "I misunderstood you. I am truly sorry."


    As soon as his voice fell, it became silent.

 C52 Snatch the Fox Again

    The little fox was still waiting for her to continue coaxing him when he heard her regular breathing.


    Sigh, she is really tired. I can see that. Forget it. I, Lord Fox, am very generous. Forget it, I won''t bother with her anymore.


    The little fox thought for a moment before curling up beside her pillow.


    Ever since he was harassed by the man in black, Qiao Liangjin had asked him to sleep by his side.


    At first, he was very protesting, but then he thought of that man in black holding a huge dagger and wanting to cut his own wrist. He still came back dejectedly to sleep next to her.


    The window was gently pushed open.


    The little fox was extremely sleepy. It wanted to open its eyes to see who had entered, but no matter how it wagged its tail, it could not open its eyes.


    A pair of hands gently picked it up.


    A voice that seemed to have come from hell said softly, "Good boy, you''ve made a blood contract with me."


    With a "peng", it was smashed to the ground again.


    The coarse voice of its mistress rang in its ears, "Pah! You shameless fox, you stole my fox from my room in the middle of the night!"


    Aiyo, my body hurt a bit from the fall, but it was as if my eyes were glued to me, so I couldn''t open them no matter how hard I tried.


    Qiao Liangjin could already smell the strong scent of flowers.


    She opened her eyes slightly and the corner of her lips curled up slightly.


    Interesting, suddenly, with incense.


    She originally thought that the thief had come to steal her package, but she didn''t expect that he would actually pick up her fox.


    With a twist of his body, a kick landed on the incoming leg.


    The newcomer probably did not expect to wake up after being infected by the incense. He was not on guard and was kicked to the ground.


    The fox in his hand rolled on the ground.


    A bare foot stepped on his chest.


    Ye Zichen looked up at the foot that was as smooth as jade.


    Wasn''t that the fat woman who protected the little fox at the Golden Buddha Temple?


    How did things turn out like this?


    It seemed pretty good.


    He lazily lied on the ground and let Qiao Liangjin''s little feet step on him. He had a look of ''I''m enjoying myself very much''.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    This was the kind of person she was most afraid of.


    "Don''t you think you''re a scoundrel?" Qiao Liangjin moved his foot away and picked up the little fox from the ground, patting off the dust on its body.


    Nangong laughed and sat up.


    He was still wearing the same wide robe, and his honey-colored chest was faintly discernible.


    "Mind if I sit on a stool?" Nangong also stood up and sat on a chair opposite the bed.


    "If I''m not wrong, you should be from the south, right? If I remember correctly, Nangong should be your esteemed self''s little sister, right? "


    Qiao Liangjin gently caressed the little fox''s fur as if he was comforting it.


    Nan Li raised his long eyebrows and lit the candle on the table.


    He gently touched his earlobes and smiled: "I wonder where Miss Qiao found out?"


    "Everyone has an aura. Your aura is from the royal family. I can guess it just by asking around a little. I am truly curious, why are you so fixated on this little fox who has already formed a blood contract with me? "


    Nan Li''s slender fingers lightly rapped on the table with an interested expression. His pair of black eyes were looking at Qiao Liangjin who was sitting beside the bed.


    "I need it to help me get the throne back. Is that a simple reason?" Nan Li replied after a long time.


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking, but his hand did not stop, and continued to stroke the little fox''s fur.


    Nan Li was getting a little anxious from waiting. He pushed his long hair up and pointed at the little fox. "Do you want me to steal it?"


    Qiao Liangjin pulled out a dagger from under his pillow and pointed it at the little fox''s neck. He sneered, "If you try to snatch it from me, I''ll give you a dead fox that won''t be of any use at all."


    When Qiao Liangjin said this, his eyes were sinister and the dagger in his hand was incomparably sharp. It seemed that as long as Nan Li took half a step forward, she would let this Silver Fox split his family''s forces.


    Nan Li stared at Qiao Liangjin for a while and suddenly curled his lips coldly: "You will always have a moment of carelessness."


    With that, he got up and left through the window.


    Qiao Liangjin walked over and closed the window, his heart was filled with unhappiness. "In the ancient people, they seemed very powerful even if they had some martial arts skills. It''s just that they don''t like to walk in doors."


    He lay down and continued moaning.


    It would have been great if he could do mechanical things. If he could be a substitute like a car, he wouldn''t be in such pain.


    The next day, on the road, the little fox ignored Qiao Liangjin angrily.


    Although he was under the effects of the incense, his consciousness was still very clear.


    He could even feel the coldness of the dagger.


    Why was this mistress so vicious?


    If he couldn''t obtain it, he would destroy it.


    What crime did he commit in his previous life!?


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the fox who was squatting on the horse, looking like he was going to ignore him, and wondered if he should apologize.


    After all, he knew that Nan Li would definitely not want to hurt him.


    He poked the fox''s ear and asked with a smile, "What''s wrong? Are you angry?"


    The little fox twitched its ears in anger and continued to ignore her.


    Qiao Liangjin took out his own grain sack and took out a piece of beef jerky. He took a bite and said, "It''s so fragrant."


    The little fox''s nose twitched a few times as it smelled the fragrance of meat.


    To this little fox who did not have any meat, this was a fatal temptation.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the back of the little fox with satisfaction as his ears constantly trembled.


    In the end, he was unable to resist the temptation of the fragrance of the meat. The little fox turned around with an aggrieved expression on its face.


    "Alright, here you are, don''t be angry." Qiao Liangjin passed the dried meat to the little fox.


    Zi Yan followed beside him and pointed at the dark clouds. "Miss, it''s going to rain soon. Let''s find a place to shelter from the rain."


    Qiao Liangjin looked up at the dark clouds in the distance and nodded his head. Before the little fox could finish eating the dried meat, he had already galloped forward.


    The little fox tightly gripped the horse''s mane with a hateful expression on its face.


    I only had a few bites, and you''re already accelerating!


    They had just arrived at a dilapidated Earth Temple.


    The downpour followed.


    Qiao Liangjin patted his chest in relief. "Fortunately, it wasn''t raining."


    He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ran out, dragging the little fox that he had forgotten on the horse back to the temple.


    Looking at the little fox''s wet and resentful appearance, Qiao Liangjin could not help but laugh out loud.


    Ever since last night, this little fox had been in bad luck.


    He lightly tapped the little fox on its forehead.


    A white boy sat on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin took out a set of clothes from his bag and threw it in front of the white child.


    The white-haired boy wore his clothes with the same aggrieved look on his face. Then he sat with his back to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin nudged him with the tip of his foot and he moved forward.


    He nudged it with his toe a few more times, then moved it a few more times.


    Touch it, move it.


    Bai and Zi Yan didn''t know whether to laugh or cry as they looked at the two of them like children. He shook his head with a bitter smile.


    Finally, the little fox, Yuesheng could no longer hold it in and jumped up. "Damned woman, what do you want?"


    A smiling face, a handful of beef jerky swaying in front of him.


    "Mom, I love you." The angry little face bloomed like a flower.


    What did it mean to be able to bend and stretch? This was it!


    Qiao Liangjin passed the beef jerky to him and patted his head in satisfaction.


    This child wasn''t good at anything, but this was especially good. He was sensible.


    A clear laugh came from the beam.


    Three people and one child raised their heads.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand touched the ground. Amidst the firelight, something shot out from her hand and flew directly towards Liang Shanggong.


    Yet Liang Xiaoxiao landed gently on the ground.


    He sat across from Qiao Liangjin.


    "Nan Li is really like a ghost that won''t leave!" Qiao Liangjin frowned.


    "This child is very cute. Give it to me." Nan Li''s hand was about to touch the little fox, Yu Sheng.


    Suddenly, a blue flame appeared and burned Nan Li''s hand.


    Nan Li immediately retracted his hand with a look of pleasant surprise: "Fox fire?"


    While eating the beef jerky, he leaned on Qiao Liangjin''s side and looked at the man before him with an alert expression.


    Nan Li''s slender fingers touched his ears again. He blinked slightly and said to Yu Sheng, "Follow me. You have enough meat every day. What''s so delicious about this beef jerky?" This King will have someone slaughter fresh meat for you to eat everyday. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows raised up. ''Yo, they''re here to tempt me with food.


    Yu Sheng stopped eating, as if he was considering something.


    Nan Li smiled and waved at Yu Sheng.


    Yuesheng grunted and turned around with her back to Nan Li.


    What he liked to eat the most was beef jerky, it was crazy. How could fresh meat be delicious like this?


    Nan Li was stunned. What was going on?


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, nearly rolled over in laughter.


    This could be considered flattering.


    In order to not let themselves laugh out loud, Bai and Zi Yan kept looking around, trying their best to divert their attention.


    The heavy rain outside did not seem to be going away.


    Nan Li was somewhat discouraged.


    I''ve really never seen such a little demoness.


    Looking out at the rain, Nan Li closed his eyes and pinched his fingers.


    "It will only stop after six hours and the road will be slippery. This King recommends that you all rest for the night. The roads are too slippery, so it''s easy for something to happen. "


    Qiao Liangjin snorted.


    You think you''re an old Taoist with an arrogant nose?


    He closed his eyes and started to meditate.


    Six hours later, the heavy rain gradually stopped.


    Qiao Liangjin stood at the door of the temple and looked at the mud on the ground.


    This man was right after all.


    He heaved a long sigh.


    This man did indeed have a bit of cultivation experience.


    Nan Li walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side. The wind outside carried the stench of the land after the rain, causing Qiao Liangjin''s ponytail to flutter gently.


    Her long hair caressed Nan Li''s nose.


    The fragrance of the crabapple blossoms, Nan Li said as he rubbed his heart.

 C53 First World

    Qiao Liangjin turned around. Unsuspecting that there was a Southern Li standing behind him, he slammed his head into his chest.


    Ye Zichen rubbed his nose. This chest of his was truly quite firm.


    Suppressing the urge to touch his chest, he raised his head and smiled at Nan Li, who was half a head taller than him. "Please."


    Nan Li stepped aside with a smile on his face.


    "It''s better not to laugh than to smile." When Qiao Liangjin walked past him, he said those words in a cold tone.


    Nan Li''s hand touched his face. Was he smiling without smiling?


    Bai had already piled some of the broken wood in the temple together and started a fire.


    Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment before tying his hand together with Yu Sheng''s.


    "Do you know how tiring it is to sleep like this?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Yu Sheng. She pulled on the rope and pulled him closer, then closed her eyes.


    He wasn''t afraid of thieves stealing, he was afraid of thieves missing!


    Nan Li sat at the entrance of the temple and looked out at the cold moonlight. He played with the jade pendant on his waist.


    He turned his head and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was lying asleep beside the fire.


    Under the firelight, she was quiet and elegant, as if she were not a person of this world.


    The scent of her hair still lingered at the tip of her nose.


    Suddenly, something was growing in the depths of Nan Li''s heart.


    Not far away under the Banyan tree, a man in white clothes and a man in red clothes were quietly meditating.


    Not far away, on the thatched cottage, there was a hidden guard.


    Tsk tsk, this Qiao Liangjin seems to be protected by a lot of people.


    How could such a small daughter of the Prime Minister be protected by so many people? Strangely, her kung fu from last night, as well as the expression of that person holding a knife and forcing her to do it, made it even stranger.


    It was as if he had experienced many years of baptism through blood.


    This was not the attitude that a woman in a deep room would have.


    She was a girl that could burn jades and stones at any time.


    Nan Li felt that the woman sleeping inside the temple was like a mystery.


    Even before dawn, Qiao Liangjin had already prepared something and was ready to continue forward.


    Nan Li stood under the horse, looking at Qiao Liangjin who was about to set off.


    "What are you going to do? It seems like you''re in a hurry. "


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at the black clothed Nan Li. He crooked his finger, then bent down and whispered into Nan Li''s ear, "What does this have to do with you?"


    After he had finished, he pinched the horse''s belly and ran down the road.


    The smile on Nan Li''s face became wider as he rubbed his ears.


    When Bai Wuqing heard the sound of the horse''s hooves, he opened his eyes and jumped onto the horse.


    Hong Chen also got on the horse. She asked nervously, "Grandpa, are you alright?"


    Bai Wu Chen''s face was so pale that it was somewhat transparent. He shook his head slightly.


    Lu Li wrote on the paper, "Bai Wuwu knows martial arts, but the name of the red dress is actually Hong Chen. Oh right, Hong Chen is called ''Master Bai''. As for what it is, this subordinate cannot figure it out." "Your highness, your subordinate is really tired, I was drenched in a heavy rain yesterday."


    When he finished writing, he thought for a moment and then wrote another sentence: "That Nan Li seems to be very interested in young miss as well."


    Satisfied, he rolled up the paper and stuffed it into the small bamboo tube. Then, he tied it to the pigeon and rode on.


    What made Qiao Liangjin curious was that all along the way, Nan Li had followed him neither too closely nor too closely, and never once did he try to snatch the little fox from him.


    However, she was still worried. Every day, when she slept, she would always keep the little fox by her side.


    Along the way, they finally arrived at Sheng Cheng, worn out from the journey.


    After arriving at the Shengcheng City gates, Qiao Liangjin suddenly didn''t dare to move forward.


    She was a little afraid that she would see Qiao Ruo Ying''s broken body. She did not want to come all the way here and only wanted to return with her body.


    Zi Yan urged her horse closer to Qiao Liangjin and asked: "Miss, what''s wrong?"


    "Zi Yan, I''m a bit scared."


    Zi Yan knew what she was afraid of, so she pinched her horse''s belly and headed straight for Sheng Cheng.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly laughed at himself. What was there to be afraid of? Now that he was here, he had to face the reality. No matter what the result was, he had to know the result.


    Following behind Zi Yan, they entered the Magnificent City.


    When he arrived at the military camp, he said that he was Qiao Ruo Ying''s relative and quickly met with General Zuo.


    General Wu thought that it was a servant from the Prime Minister''s Estate who had come. Unexpectedly, it was Qiao Liangjin who was dressed in a tight suit.


    After searching in his mind for a long time, he still could not figure out who the person in front of him was.


    Qiao Liangjin cupped his hands and said: "My daughter, Qiao Liangjin, have you forgotten about General Wu?"


    Qiao Liangjin?


    That fat guy, every day he only knew how to chase the playboy behind the Seventh Marquis?


    The mighty general looked Qiao Liangjin up and down in disbelief.


    Her lithe and graceful body, her delicate face, all of it showed that she was a beautiful woman like a flower.


    Even though she was wearing a black tight suit, it was unable to cover up her figure.


    The mighty general scratched his head and gestured at Qiao Liangjin''s waist in disbelief.


    Qiao Liangjin immediately understood what he meant. He had seen that obese Qiao Liangjin before.


    Qiao Liangjin continued cupping his hands and said, "My daughter has succeeded in losing weight."


    General Wei was suddenly enlightened, he nodded his head and invited Qiao Liangjin into the study.


    Arriving at the study room, Qiao Liangjin didn''t wait for General Wu to sit down and directly asked: "Did you find my brother''s corpse at the Lone Heaven?"


    The mighty general sighed and shook his head.


    "Shaking your head? What do you mean? "Please speak your mind, General." Qiao Liangjin was a bit anxious.


    "The rock block is too big, we are still cleaning it up, but we still haven''t found it. "However, the horses have already been crushed into pieces. We were all thinking, your big brother should also ¡­" The mighty general could not bear to speak of the results.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.


    Yes, the horses had all been found, but still no sign of Jorge.


    That meant that there was still a chance that she could survive.


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He no longer wanted to sit down and continue chatting with the mighty general.


    He quickly bade farewell. "My daughter secretly left the house this time, I hope you won''t tell me." "Now I''m going to look for my brother on the street. Farewell.


    The mighty general repeatedly urged her to stay, but it was no match for her current mood of wanting to find the living Qiao Ruoyin.


    He could only give up.


    Qiao Liangjin arrived at the inn, packed his things, and prepared to head to the Line Heaven.


    He suddenly felt dizzy.


    Zi Yan quickly supported Qiao Lianjin who was swaying back and forth. With a pained heart, she consoled him, "Miss, you''re working too hard. Can you take a good rest tonight?"


    Nan Li, who was sitting not too far away eating, saw Qiao Liangjin''s pale face and couldn''t help but mutter: "Since you''re already like this, why aren''t you resting. Don''t worry, you''ll collapse by yourself soon. Don''t worry, I won''t steal your fox today."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Nan Li, who was making sarcastic remarks, and snorted.


    However, he had to admit in his heart that he had to rest. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to find her even if he had to wait until tomorrow.


    Yuesheng obediently squatted beside the bed and looked at Qiao Lianjin. She said, "Don''t worry. Even if I die, I won''t let anyone steal me. Go to sleep."


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to have taken a tranquilizer before he closed his eyes.


    Nan Li stood outside the window and looked at Qiao Liangjin, who was fast asleep.


    Yuesheng held Qiao Liangjin''s dagger in his hand as he looked at Nan Li with a vigilant look.


    Nan Li suddenly smiled and pressed down with his palm, indicating that he should put down his dagger.


    Yu Sheng shook his head as though he never believed in anyone else.


    Well, this woman was a moron, and the fox she raised seemed a moron too.


    Forget it, since I said that I won''t snatch her as a fox, then so be it.


    Only after seeing Nan Li leave did Yu Sheng relax. With his body slanted, he laid beside Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin had fallen deeply asleep.


    She slept like a lady! Yu Sheng thought to himself.


    That night, Qiao Liangjin slept soundly.


    She opened her eyes at first light.


    He felt much more relaxed.


    Looking at Yu Sheng, who was holding a dagger and sleeping soundly, she broke into a smile.


    Her little fox really had her style.


    He gently shook Yu Sheng awake and used the handkerchief to wipe the saliva at the corner of his mouth.


    Humans were not like plants and vegetation, they were ruthless.


    After everyone was ready, Qiao Liangjin jumped onto his horse and pointed to the front. He said in high spirits, "Next stop, the Line Sky."


    It was already noon by the time he got there.


    General Wu wasn''t lying to her after all. There was indeed a troop of soldiers clearing away the boulders.


    Qiao Liangjin dismounted from his horse and ran over to ask about the situation.


    Everyone shook their heads. No one had seen Qiao Ruoyin''s corpse.


    Qiao Liangjin stood on a huge rock and looked down the mountain. There was a deep ravine at the foot of the mountain.


    If he fell from here, if there was any deep water, he wouldn''t die.


    Qiao Liangjin decided to go down the mountain stream to have a look.


    This action frightened all the soldiers who were cleaning the stones.


    They quickly waved their hands, hoping that Qiao Liangjin was just thinking that they shouldn''t go down.


    Qiao Liangjin had already made up his mind.


    He quickly sent Bai to the city to buy ropes.


    As Yu Sheng gazed at the bottomless ravine, his entire body shivered.


    He pouted and asked, "If you go on like this, will you be in danger?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and pulled on Yu Sheng''s chubby cheeks, saying, "Why would I be the only one to go down? And of course you. "


    With tears in his eyes, he looked at Qiao Liangjin, hoping that she would be able to find out something good about him.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the mountain peak far away and slapped the back of Yu Sheng''s head, saying, "Don''t pretend to cry. Who knows, there might be something you like down there. "Let''s go down and take a look."


    By the time Bai returned with the rope, it was already getting late.


    Qiao Liangjin tied up each rope.


    He polished the dagger.


    Using the moonlight, she looked at the mountain stream, shook her head, and said, "It''s best not to go here. No one goes there all year round, so it''s more or less miasma. Maybe there''s even some strange beasts."


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth slightly raised, "Who cares."


    Nan Li helplessly spread out his palms and shrugged his shoulders. "Look, I''m just that enthusiastic. I like to meddle in other people''s business. What should I do?"


    A stone flew out from Qiao Liangjin''s hand. Nan Li dodged the stone, shook his head and said, "I really don''t know how to be grateful."

 C54 Celibate Stream

    "Thank your sister."


    "Why don''t I understand you sometimes?"


    "Because you are not human."


    The two of them kept bickering.


    Hearing this, the soldiers who were resting not too far away couldn''t help but secretly laugh while covering their mouths.


    Until Yu Sheng said with a yawn, "I''m bored. How old are you all, and yet you are still bickering like you don''t have any fun? Go wash up and sleep."


    The entire sky quieted down.


    The moon had gradually moved to the west.


    In the depths of the ravine, green rays of light danced in the air.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly thought of that night when fireflies flew all over the sky.


    I wonder if Ning Ying found out she left?


    He wondered if Bai Wu Chen would miss him if he didn''t pay him a visit these few days.


    And there was also that Su Qing ¡­ If he did not continue to narrate his story, would he feel lonely?


    After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that he was really sentimental.


    Would Qiao Ruoyin be saved by a mysterious woman like the little dragon girl?


    Yes, this mountain stream was so high that neither of them could climb up, so they were unable to call for help.


    If he continued like this, if Qiao Ruoyin fell in love with Little Dragon in the ravine, would she be able to cultivate some ancient martial arts?


    Qiao Liangjin had nothing to think about.


    When he thought of the joyful scene, he laughed out loud.


    When Nan Li heard Qiao Liangjin''s laughter not too far away, he felt goosebumps all over his body. Why was her laughter so scary? Was she possessed by a ghost? Could it be that he had to go down this mountain stream no matter what?


    Thinking of this, he suddenly regretted not asking Zhang Tianzhi for some talismans to protect himself back in the Southern Kingdom.


    Nan Li looked at the mighty general''s soldiers, then calculated the distance between him and Bai, before lying down in satisfaction.


    The weather in the mountain was still very cold. He gently circulated his Qi to resist the cold air in the mountain. Suddenly, he remembered that he didn''t know how the woman''s internal energy was. Could it withstand the cold in the mountain?


    Thinking of this, Nan Li was also startled.


    Why should he care about her?


    Why did it feel like he was starting to pay attention to her?


    Nan Li asked himself again. Did he really care?


    It was as if the answer was absolute.


    He sat up. He looked towards Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin immediately pulled the little fox into his embrace alertly.


    When Nan Li saw how alert she was, he shook his head and smiled.


    He threw something over.


    Qiao Liangjin picked it up.


    It was a piece of blood jade. Under the moonlight, the blood inside the blood jade seemed to be alive as it slowly flowed.


    A large ''South'' character was written in it.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned. What did this man mean?


    "You want to trade this for my fox?" Qiao Liangjin asked.


    Nan Li had already thought of how she would ask and laughed. He shook his head and said, "I just realized that I like you quite a bit."


    Qiao Liangjin was flabbergasted.


    What and what? This fellow who tried to steal his little fox, he actually said that he liked him?


    She narrowed her eyes and sized up South Asunder under the moonlight.


    Could this guy be trying to save the country by curving the line?


    He first said that he liked her, and then when he was caught off guard, he picked up the fox and had Shayana come with him.


    Qiao Liangjin was even thinking, what virtue or ability did he have to make a handsome and unreasonable man like him only a few times?


    She shook her head as she held the jade pendant in her hand, preparing to throw it back.


    However, Nan Li said, "If you don''t want it, I''ll throw the jade pendant down. How could you take back the things you gave away? "


    Qiao Liangjin did not throw it at the moment, so it was impossible for him to not throw it either. He sighed with grief and quickly put the blood jade away.


    Perhaps in the future, he would even need the help of the Sixth Prince.


    When Nan Li saw Qiao Liangjin sigh unwillingly, he couldn''t help but laugh out loud as he put the Blood Jade away.


    Qiao Liangjin could not fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned. When she thought about what would happen tomorrow, she felt depressed.


    If Qiao Ruoyin was still alive, everyone would be happy.


    If ¡­ She would probably never forgive herself for the rest of her life.


    Qiao Liangjin stood at the edge of the cliff and shouted: "Ah!"


    He then blurted out without thinking, "Clear..."


    In the shade of a tree far away, a white figure suddenly trembled as it looked at the edge of the cliff.


    Qiao Liangjin was also surprised. How could he have shouted to clean up this person? Could it be that the bright moon in the sky reminded him of that man who was as white as jade?


    Touching her nose, she shouted down the cliff, "Qiao Ruoyin, you live! I''ll go down and find you tomorrow."


    In the shade of the tree, a finger with distinct joints wrote a single word on the ground. Staring at the word on the ground, a smile gradually appeared on his face.


    Was it because of that shout?


    The person beside him sighed and asked, "That fool is going to look for someone tomorrow. What do you think, Prince?"


    "I''ll be downstairs in a while. I''ll pick her up from below." The white figure raised its palm and peered through the shade of the trees at the splintered moonlight.


    After Qiao Liangjin shouted, he felt much better. Then, he walked back to the bonfire and lay down on his back with a heavy weight.


    Not long after, a light snoring sound could be heard.


    Nan Li watched as Qiao Liangjin yelled out at the top of his lungs towards the cliff, then turned around and went to sleep.


    All the women he had met in his life were either pretentious or ordinary. Those who knew of his identity all fawned over him.


    In contrast, this woman that was like a gale on the prairie was like a clear stream that slowly flowed into his chest.


    In this world, how many girls would have the courage to bring two people a thousand miles away to find their elder brother?


    Amongst all the cicadas, she was the only one standing there like a crane. He had no choice but to chase after her.


    But... That Seventh Prince who was rumored to be the most gorgeous and beautiful in the five empires, was he the person she liked?


    When Qiao Liangjin woke up, the sky was already slightly bright. It was already late autumn, and there was a shining star in the sky.


    Qiao Liangjin wiped his face with the water from the kettle and followed his usual home-based habit. He climbed up to the highest rock and slowly did yoga towards the sunrise.


    Nan Li and the soldiers not too far away were flabbergasted.


    What are these actions? Could a person''s waist actually be this flexible?


    Nan Li couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His eyes were fixed on her towering chest, her soft and delicate waist, and his perfect butt was continuously looking up and down.


    How could this woman do something so worldly? Did she not know that such an action could only be done in a room with her husband?


    Nan Li even started to think that one day, he would return with a beauty in his arms. The two of them wore red makeup, red candles.


    Under the candlelight, Qiao Liangjin lowered his head and smiled shyly.


    He gently lifted her chin and looked into her lovely eyes.


    As he thought about it, he started to react.


    He just lay down and moaned, "Haven''t you touched a woman in a long time? Now the sows are competing in mink cicadas. "


    Qiao Liangjin clapped his hands and stood on the rock, looking at everyone with satisfaction.


    She had always wanted to start a training course so that all the men and women in the dynasty could learn yoga with her. It would be great if she could open a chain store in the country and count the money until her hands cramped up.


    Qiao Liangjin ignored the stupefied expressions of everyone. With a light leap, he jumped down from the huge rock. Together with Bai, he tied one end of the rope to a tree, while the other end was thrown into the abyss.


    He rubbed his hands together and pulled on the rope, but a hand held her arm.


    Raising his head, he saw that it was South Asunder.


    Nan Li frowned: "Are you sure you want to go down? Perhaps there was miasma? Maybe there''s some venomous snake or beast? "


    Qiao Liangjin patted the little fox on his shoulder and smiled, "Don''t worry, I have this little fox."


    The little fox puffed up his chest with a look of ''I''m very capable''. Don''t look down on me.


    Nan Li shook his head, still holding onto her arm.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face immediately darkened. He swept a glance at Nan Li''s hand, and spoke with an unfriendly tone: "Sixth Prince of the Southern Sea, I''ll have to trouble you to let go."


    Nan Li sighed and replied, "How about I go down and help you find it?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and gently pulled Nan Li''s hand away.


    "My brother is my own brother. No matter if he is alive or dead, I must personally go and see him. I have already accepted your kindness and cannot owe you more than that. Prince of the Southern Sixth Prince, you may be the future ruler of a nation, but I cannot let you take the risk. "


    When Nan Li heard these last words, his pupils shrank.


    Qiao Liangjin truly understood human nature too well.


    Although Nan Li was interested in him, he would always be more interested in the throne than anyone else.


    Nodding towards Zi Yan, he then slowly descended into the abyss.


    The cliff looked as if it had been split open by an axe.


    It was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It was so quiet that it seemed to be cut off from the world.


    Qiao Liangjin slowly climbed to a third of the way up and leaned against a protruding rock to rest. He opened his palm and discovered that it was full of blisters.


    Ye Zichen smiled wryly. He was probably too nervous and squeezed the rope too tightly, causing his hands to be covered with blisters.


    Taking out his dagger, he gently pricked the blister and smeared the ointment on the blister.


    He continuously grimaced in pain.


    At this moment, the little fox was also quietly lying on her shoulder, playing the role of a fox skin.


    Taking a few deep breaths, he patted the little fox''s head.


    "Yusheng, let''s continue going down. With this leaf in our mouths, we''re not afraid of the miasma." Qiao Liangjin stuffed a leaf into Yusheng''s mouth.


    Then he grabbed hold of the rope and continued to climb down.


    The moment her hand made contact with the rope, she was in so much pain that she wanted to throw the rope away.


    The rope was lightly wrapped around his hand and he slowly climbed down the mountain.

 C55 Very Dangerous

    It was already noon.


    The ice in the cliff was bone-chilling cold.


    Qiao Liangjin looked down and saw that there was a dense fog. It was as if it had never been exposed to the sun all year round. The plants under it were very lush, and the water vapor they produced had always been circling halfway up the mountain.


    Over time, it became miasma.


    Clenching his teeth, Qiao Liangjin continued to climb down the mountain.


    Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her palm, as if something had drilled into the wound on her palm.


    Qiao Liangjin was dazed for a moment as he slid down the rope for a long time. Only when his right hand was dripping with blood did he hang himself.


    Qiao Liangjin gritted his teeth and looked at the bottomless chasm with a bit of dizziness.


    Give up? He gave up and continued to climb back up, blood still dripping from his wounds.


    The distance to the bottom of the cliff shouldn''t be too far.


    Qiao Liangjin pressed his body against the cliff and took a deep breath.


    He could already smell a heavy, damp smell.


    He was still feeling dizzy.


    She kept reminding herself not to faint, not to faint.


    This miasma was even worse than she had imagined.


    In the next second, she powerlessly let go of the rope.


    The little fox on his shoulder seemed to have become brighter.


    In the distance, there seemed to be a white shadow flying over. So, there were ghosts at the bottom of this cliff.


    Thinking of this, she finally stopped thinking.


    After a long while, Qiao Liangjin slowly opened his eyes.


    He sat up and stretched his limbs. Weird, no injuries? He raised his head and looked at the cliff. He should have fallen very hard.


    Was it because the plants here were so strong that he wasn''t injured?


    Then, he suddenly thought of Yuesheng and hurriedly called out, "Yuesheng Yuesheng."


    A mass of foxes with green flames approached her.


    The size of his body seemed to be slightly larger than Yu Sheng''s.


    Qiao Liangjin asked hesitantly, "Yusheng?"


    The flames on Silver Fox''s body became even more vigorous.


    Qiao Liangjin carefully stretched out his hand, wanting to touch that ball of fire and see if it would be able to burn her.


    He was pleasantly surprised to find that the flame only felt warm.


    She hugged Silver Fox and said coquettishly, "So you''re a warm baby!"


    Silver Fox only blinked. Leaning on her side, he used the fire on his body to warm Qiao Liangjin''s somewhat cold body.


    Qiao Liangjin stroked Silver Fox''s soft fur and asked in puzzlement: "Why did you become so much bigger?"


    Silver Fox did not reply, but used her pink tongue to lightly lick Qiao Liangjin''s palm.


    Qiao Liangjin looked around again.


    The forest was everywhere, damp to the bone, cold to the bone.


    Silver Fox was still focused on licking Qiao Liangjin''s injured palm.


    Qiao Liangjin discovered that his palm didn''t seem to be hurting anymore.


    I was about to say something.


    She heard a white shadow flitting past from the distance and gently landed in front of her.


    Looking at the person in front of him, Qiao Liangjin wanted to say something. He didn''t know what to say.


    This surprise came too unexpectedly.


    "You ¡­" Qiao Liangjin finally opened his mouth to speak.


    "I''m sorry I didn''t tell you. I followed you." Su Qing squatted down and grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s hand. She carefully examined her palm and took out a bottle of ointment from her sleeve, gently rubbing it on her wound.


    Qiao Liangjin moved closer to clear the air, carefully sizing up his face that was as smooth as jade, as well as his earlobes that were like pearls.


    Was he dreaming? How could it be this guy?


    Qiao Liangjin tapped the little fox on the forehead and pointed at Su Moyu. "Actually, you already knew that he was coming, right?"


    The little fox rolled his eyes and said, "I don''t know anything. Don''t ask me, I just woke up."


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Yuesheng in dissatisfaction and then wanted to retract his hand.


    Qing Qing didn''t even let go as she continued to apply medicine on her. It was polished very slowly and carefully, as if it were a fine piece of jade that was being polished.


    Qiao Liangjin wanted to ask him a lot of questions, wanted to ask him how he knew he was here, wanted to ask him why he was able to meet him at the cliff, why he wasn''t afraid of the miasma.


    There were too many questions she wanted to ask, but looking at how he carefully applied the medicine on her, she didn''t break the silence between the two.


    When Su Qian finished wiping the ointment, the clear and bright voice was surprisingly gentle. "It should be fine. It won''t hurt anymore."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and stood up. He used the compass he made and looked around.


    Yuesheng opened up his palm and a jade-green firelight landed on his palm.


    The surroundings immediately brightened up.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the palm of his hand and sighed, "If this was a ghost movie, the effects of using this would be too great, too perfect."


    "What did you say?"


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said with a smile, "It''s nothing, it''s nothing. Let''s go."


    "She''s a woman from another world. What she said you wouldn''t understand, she''s from the future."


    Qiao Liangjin, who was following behind the two men, looked at their figures, which were still conversing softly. He suddenly felt like a family of three.


    What a strange feeling. Qiao Liangjin was shocked by his own thoughts.


    He had actually thought of becoming a family with Su Chen. Could it be that lightning would strike the sky?


    As she thought of this, she raised her head to look at the sky. She was afraid that a bolt of lightning would strike her head.


    Clearing his senses, he felt Qiao Liangjin behind him not following him. Turning around, he saw that Qiao Liangjin was shocked. Looking at the sky and then nervously at his surroundings, he couldn''t help but furrow his brows. "Miss Qiao, what are you doing?"


    Qiao Liangjin quickly followed and waved his hand, smiling. "It''s nothing, it''s just that I used my imagination just now."


    He followed the compass the entire way down.


    Su Qing stopped and turned her head to listen. "There seems to be a waterfall in front of us."


    Qiao Liangjin recalled that in the legends, there would usually be giant pythons under the waterfall. What she feared the most were snakes, lizards, and such things. She felt a bit nervous, so she quickly walked over to Qing Shui and gently pulled his hand.


    Su Qing was startled, and lowered her head to look at Qiao Liangjin holding her hand.


    Without the slightest hesitation, his ten fingers interlocked.


    The corner of her clear lips curled up.


    He recalled that when he was once the little fox, Yu Sheng, he had seen Qiao Liangjin''s words written on a piece of paper: "Hand in hand, let''s live together till the end."


    He cleared his mind and stealthily operated his martial arts, trying his best to keep his hands warm.


    He also passed his Qi to Qiao Liangjin.


    The wound on his palm was slowly healing at an undetectable rate.


    Qiao Liangjin looked around and said softly, "Along the way, I didn''t see any blood stains, and neither did I see any nearby blood stains. All I can be sure of is that Qiao Ruoyin is not dead. "


    Su Hao nodded. Before Qiao Lianjin woke up, he had already checked his surroundings and found no traces of blood or beasts.


    The two people and the fox walked to the waterfall. Qiao Liangjin squatted down and used his palm to scoop up a handful of water. Then, he gently threw it at his face.


    The water was somewhat cold and bone-piercing, but it was able to clear Qiao Liangjin''s mind. He originally wanted to drink a few mouthfuls of water, but decided not to take the risk. After all, the water looked cold on the surface, but it might not be that safe.


    Qing Qing pulled Qiao Liangjin''s arm, pointed ahead and said, "Look, there seems to be a fire up ahead."


    Qiao Liangjin quickly stood up and looked into the distance.


    As expected, there was a weak flickering flame in the distance.


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He wiped off the water droplets on his face and pointed at the fire, "Let''s go quickly. Who knows, maybe my brother is waiting for us there."


    She grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s waist and gently flew away from the waterfall.


    What was going on? Did he not see me?


    Su Chen turned to look at Yusheng and asked, "Do you need me to bring him over?"


    "A fox that has lived for eight hundred years can''t even make it through such a small waterfall, so let''s just not live anymore." Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows as he looked at Yusheng, who was standing on the other side.


    Yu Sheng shook his head in despair: This Seventh Prince, how did he sell himself to this woman? No matter how he looked at it, this woman was neither virtuous nor demure. Why did so many people like her?


    A sad life.


    He must find an opportunity to remind them to clean up.


    As he thought about this, he also flew over the waterfall.


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled, pointed at the little fox and said: "You see, I told you, this guy is hiding his weakness."


    Qiao Liangjin continued holding onto the hand that had been cleared away as he proceeded forward. Occasionally, he would turn his head, but he could only see the sorrowful look on Yu Sheng''s face.


    Did the child break his brain today?


    Why do you have an expression on your face now?


    At one moment, he was sorrowful. At the next, he was indifferent. At the next, he was angry. What was he trying to do?


    The distance between them was getting closer and closer.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart was beating faster and faster. Could he see the big brother that she had been yearning for day and night?


    It had already been a day since they came down from the top of the cliff. Zi Yan and Bai must be very anxious.


    What surprised Qiao Liangjin was that this was a small village.


    Su Ming raised his hand and knocked on one of the doors.


    The door was gently opened and an old, smiling woman stood at the doorway.


    The old woman probably thought that the people knocking on the door were from the same village. She didn''t expect that there would be three people standing outside the door. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a family of three.


    "You are ¡­"


    "Elder, what is this place?" We fell from the mountain and woke up here. " Qiao Liangjin quickly said.


    "No one has come to our place for many years. "Why are you guys ¡­" The old woman thought of something and suddenly shut her mouth.


    "We were a doctor, so we weren''t poisoned." She replied indifferently.


    "Has there been a tall man in the village lately?" Qiao Liangjin asked hurriedly.


    The old lady shook her head and suddenly thought of something. She pointed to the village entrance and said, "Let''s go over there and ask Ah Hua. I''m old and don''t go out much anymore."


    With that, he closed the door shakily.


    Qiao Liangjin touched his nose and said, "How strange. What do they live on here? "


    Qing Qing gave a shallow smile and pulled Qiao Liangjin towards the village entrance.


    After knocking on the door, someone inside cautiously asked, "Who is it?"


    "We''re from outside the village, we want to find someone, I don''t know ¡­"


    "No one is here. Go back to where you came from." A young woman''s voice blew out the candle after she finished speaking.


    Qiao Liangjin counted the number of families in the village. There were a total of seven.


    The locations of the seven families were also quite strange. They looked like the Big Dipper.

 C56 Find Your Older Brother

    In this deep mountain, there was such a village.


    He also arranged his house according to the location of the Big Dipper.


    Could it be suppressing something?


    He had long since heard that there would always be evil dragons or flood dragons in this kind of place.


    Qiao Liangjin and Su Qing walked to the outskirts of the village.


    With a flower in his hand, he followed behind the two of them leisurely.


    Qiao Liangjin sat on the grass and sighed, "I keep having the feeling that there is something wrong with that woman. Could she be hiding my brother? Could it be that when my brother died, she slept with him? "


    She looked at Qiao Liangjin who was blabbering away.


    What was in her head?


    These words that were so shocking to the world actually came out from her mouth.


    I don''t know if I should call her bold or reckless.


    Qiao Liangjin gently tapped the center of Yu Sheng''s brows and he transformed into a fox. Then, he curled up beside her and fell asleep.


    Su Su Su lay down, patted her side and said, "You can''t start a fire here. You can just rely on me to sleep."


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and shook his head. ''What kind of joke is this? Your brother wants to kill my dad, and he even tried to harm my brother. You want me to sleep on you?'' Don''t think I won''t hold a grudge just because you help me find my brother.


    She was lying not far from him. The grass was really cold. She could even hear her teeth chattering.


    No, she had to divert her attention. She asked, "Su Qing, why are you here?"


    "Feeling you need me."


    "Have you been by my side all this time?"


    The palm of her hand was gently placed on her chest. Qiao Liangjin did not come close to her, she was still wary of her and was a bit disappointed.


    "..." Did you hear me call your name last night? " Qiao Liangjin asked.


    "Yes." The corner of her clear lips slightly curled up.


    Qiao Liangjin covered his face with his hands. ''Oh god, how am I going to meet people in the future?'' Why would he yell out his name like a lunatic?


    Yes, it must be because he was always annoying her, so she remembered his name a little more.


    She suddenly discovered that her palm no longer hurt. She raised her palm and carefully looked at it.


    "Wow, my wounds are almost all gone.?"


    Yu Sheng harrumphed.


    She really was a slow learner.


    Su Chen stretched out his arm and pulled Qiao Liangjin''s hand into his palm. He said softly, "There won''t be any more wounds."


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and turned around. With his back facing her, he gradually closed his eyes.


    That night, a steady stream of hot air carried all the way to her body. She slept like she was sleeping in a warm room in winter.


    In the morning, Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes and found himself lying on his body like an octopus.


    Qiao Liangjin was on the verge of going crazy. What was going on? Weren''t there still someone sleeping last night? Why was he lying in her arms?


    Ye Zichen stood up in embarrassment and wiped away the saliva at the corner of his mouth.


    Seriously, taking advantage of her was just taking advantage of her. Why are you still spitting on her? How embarrassing!


    Qing Qing opened her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Qiao Liangjin with a smile.


    "You''re awake?"


    "Not bad, that..." "Thank you. This night, if it weren''t for you, I would probably have become a Popsicle." Qiao Liangjin felt that he still had to thank her.


    In the distance, Yu Sheng, who had already woken up, was wandering around the village.


    Seeing that the two of them had already sat up, he ran towards them happily.


    Qiao Liangjin tapped his forehead and said with a frown, "Why can''t you transform yourself?"


    Su Qing was not surprised at all at the two''s interaction and asked curiously: "What''s going on? This little fox demon seems to be very stupid. "


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Yusheng and said, "You stole someone''s treasure and got beaten back to your original form. It''s not that I''m talking about you, Yusheng."


    Yu Sheng pursed his lips and crouched to the side.


    Qiao Liangjin knocked on the door and continued: "What are we going to steal? It''s an open and honorable robbery. If we can''t steal it, we''ll destroy it."


    Su Qing was dumbfounded.


    Yu Sheng looked at the sky with a look of utter helplessness. God, could the blood contract between him and this woman be undone?


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and rolled up his sleeves. He raised his fist and shook it: "Remember who hit you. I''ll beat you back later."


    Su Yan couldn''t help laughing out loud.


    Qiao Liangjin also stood up.


    As soon as the two of them reached the door of the room where the girl had been last night, the door opened.


    A pretty girl was standing in front of the door.


    Even though she was dressed in coarse clothes, it couldn''t cover up her beauty.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the woman in front of him with an appreciative gaze.


    The woman shot an unfriendly glance at the two of them and was about to close the door.


    Qiao Liangjin''s foot had just appeared at the door.


    "Aiyo, girl, be more gentle. My feet. "


    The woman quickly opened the door and asked, "Are you alright?"


    However, he found that Qiao Liangjin seemed to have gotten away with it, and also seemed to be very angry: "No one comes to our village, you guys should leave."


    "With the position of the Big Dipper, what would happen if I destroyed one of the rooms?" Qing Qing asked indifferently.


    The woman''s expression changed drastically as she struck out her palm towards Su Qian.


    He turned his body to the side and dodged the palm wind.


    A strong gust of wind split the road behind them into two.


    The next second, Qiao Liangjin used his dagger to point right at the woman''s neck.


    The woman''s eyes turned cold as she asked, "What do you want?"


    When the other people heard the commotion outside, they also came out one after another.


    He didn''t expect that the old woman who came to visit first would be standing at the back of the village on a walking stick with a dragon''s head.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and said, "Good morning, everyone. Come and do your morning exercises!"


    In the seven families, there were men and women, young and old. There weren''t many of them, and each family had at most two or three members.


    The Old Granny heavily tapped the Dragon-Headed Cane on the ground, and a crack appeared between Qiao Liangjin and Bai Wu.


    Qiao Liangjin''s dagger was raised slightly.


    The old granny looked at the girl in Qiao Liangjin''s hand and angrily said, "Lingyu, I told you earlier, throw that man out and you won''t listen."


    The girl under the dagger looked as if she was determined to die. She bit her lips, unwilling to say anything.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly let go of the dagger and gently pushed the woman away. He said softly, "The man you saved is my brother. Everyone in the family thought he had passed away, so I came all the way here to find him."


    The woman called Ling Yu looked suspiciously into Qiao Liangjin''s eyes, as though she was considering the authenticity of her words.


    The old lady''s walking stick heavily hit the ground again, "Lingyu! Their families have come looking for them. "


    Ling Yu''s eyes immediately turned red. She pursed her lips and said softly, "He''s in the house. Let''s go in. His injuries are quite severe."


    With an apologetic look, Qiao Liangjin nodded to the villagers and cupped his fists in apology, "I''m sorry, I disturbed everyone. Don''t worry, we will never tell anyone about this."


    He turned around and followed Ling Yu into the house.


    On a small bed lay Qiao Liangjin, who had been worried for over half a month.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand lightly covered the back of Qiao Ruo Ying''s hand. He squatted to the side and leaned his head on the back of her hand. Before he could say anything, tears had already flowed down from the corners of his eyes.


    I''m glad you''re alive. I''m glad I found you.


    Her clean hand lightly pressed on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder.


    Ling Yu was now sure that this woman before her was indeed a relative of the man on the bed.


    Ling Yu passed the medicinal juice to Qiao Liangjin and explained: "He wasn''t injured, just that the poison was quite deep. I used my internal energy to force the poison out of his body, but ¡­"


    The spirit jade paused slightly.


    The bowl in Qiao Liangjin''s hand trembled. She was afraid that she would hear bad news.


    Ling Yu sighed, "It''s just that he might have to practice his martial arts again."


    He knew how important martial arts was to a man. He raised his hand, wanting to place it on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder. Just as he was thinking about how to comfort Qiao Liangjin, he suddenly felt that something was off.


    Unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin actually let out a sigh of relief. "That''s good, I thought he would not do anything in the future."


    Her clean hands stopped in midair and did not land on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder.


    Ling Yu had never come into contact with the outside world and did not seem to understand Qiao Liangjin''s words. She curiously asked: "What do you mean ¡­? "No?"


    Qiao Liangjin knew that there was nothing left for Qiao Ruo Ying to do and immediately felt relieved. He stood up and sat down on the bed. He pursed his lips and waved his hand: "That meaning is very complicated."


    Seeing that Qiao Ruo Ying was sleeping soundly, he passed the medicinal liquid in his hand to her to clear it. Then, he gently pressed his scallion finger on her wrist. His pulse was neither fast nor slow, there were no longer any signs of poisoning. The weak pulse also confirmed that this woman called Ling Yu was right.


    Ling Yu quickly said, "Just unlock his sleeping point."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qing Shui awkwardly.


    Su Qing walked over to Qiao Ruo Ying. Her finger lightly brushed across his acupuncture points. She then nodded to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin was a little impressed by the strength of the martial arts that had been cleared out.


    It seemed that he would have to learn the art of clearing acupoints when he had the time.


    Qiao Ruo Ying slowly woke up and opened her eyes. In front of her, there was a woman sitting with her back facing the sun, her facial expression could not be seen, but her aura and aura was also peerless in the world. The light behind her was scattering everywhere, and her entire body was emitting light, causing him to suddenly think that he had seen the birth of an immortal.


    Qiao Ruoyin moved her lips a few times and finally called out with a hoarse voice, "Jin''er."


    Qiao Liangjin grabbed Qiao Ruo Ying''s hand and placed the back of his palm on her cheek. With a gentle and moving smile, he said: "Big brother, it''s me."


    Qiao Ruo Ying closed her eyes, tears constantly flowing from the corners of her eyes.


    A choked and choked voice came from his throat, causing Qiao Liangjin''s heart to also feel sad.


    She knew that this was the joy that came after Qiao Ruo Ying''s great sorrow. She knew that he might think that he would never see her family again in his life.


    When she saw that Qiao Ruo Ying had woken up, she had almost blurted out her desire to ask who had done this to him. However, at this moment, it didn''t matter. She would use her own methods to find out the truth.

 C57 Entrustment Brother

    Ling Yu, who was standing to one side, cleared her throat and placed the medicinal juice on the table. She pulled Yu Sheng who was standing to the side and walked out. Ling Yu stood by the side and looked at the brothers and sisters with her round eyes.


    Yu Sheng was pulled to the doorway. Turning his head, he saw Ling Yu standing there in a daze, looking at the two siblings as he beckoned Ling Yu over.


    Only then did Ling Yu realize that she should avoid following the other two for a while.


    He hurriedly followed Su Chen and Yu Sheng out the door and closed it behind them.


    Ling Yu sat on the wooden bench in front of the door. While she was tidying up the herbs in her hand, she asked her own question, "How did you three come down?"


    Yu Sheng looked at the sky and felt that this girl was really stupid. Didn''t she see that there was a fox tail behind her?


    Su Qingqing let out a faint smile and pulled Yu Sheng closer to her. She asked, "Is my son very similar to me?"


    Yuesheng pushed and cleared her throat in disgust. It was as though her hands were glued to his body out of helplessness.


    Yu Sheng gave a fake smile. "That''s right, Sister. With how beautiful my father is, would you like him?"


    Ling Yu had never heard of such words before. As she looked at Qing Shui, her face suddenly flushed red. She lowered her head and continued to organize the herbs.


    However, her clean hand gently pressed on his acupoint.


    Suddenly, his body felt itchy and painful as he bared his teeth and roared, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I will never speak carelessly again. My father is truly wise and wise. A jade tree stands in the wind..." "She and my mother are simply a match made in heaven ¡­"


    Qing Shui pursed his lips in satisfaction and casually undid his acupuncture points.


    Qiao Ruo Ying wiped her eyes with her sleeve and smiled to Qiao Liangjin: "Why are you here? Why is Seventh Prince also here? "


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t answer Qiao Ruo Ying immediately. He got up and carried the juice of the medicine over to the table. The juice was already cold. She frowned and muttered: "Can you drink this juice if it gets cold?"


    Qiao Ruoyin nodded and said, "Give it to me."


    Saying that, he sat up.


    Qiao Ruo Ying thought that she was going to put on a scene that was often shown on ancient costume films. She didn''t expect her brother to get up so quickly.


    Qiao Liangjin asked in surprise: "You can move?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying didn''t seem to understand Qiao Liangjin''s words. She took the medicine, drank it all in one gulp, and handed the bowl back to Qiao Liangjin. She also replied with a face full of surprise: "I could always move, but I was just poisoned. When I fell from above, half of the cliff was picked up by that woman."


    When she mentioned Spirit Jade, Qiao Ruo Ying''s face was filled with contempt, as if she was very dissatisfied with it.


    Judging from the situation, it should be reasonable to say that although Qiao Ruoyin had an open and unrestrained character and was impulsive, she was always polite to women.


    Qiao Liangjin put the empty bowl back on the table and sat opposite Qiao Ruo Ying. He seriously asked: "She has a name, it''s called Ling Yu. I don''t believe that you''ve never heard of her name in the past half month."


    "I shouldn''t have known."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and asked sternly: "Now, let me ask you, how did you get poisoned? Why did you come to the sky? Was there a mission? Who gave the order? "


    Qiao Ruo Ying looked at Qiao Liangjin''s serious appearance and could not help but straighten her face. She rubbed her chin and thought back to half a month ago.


    "It''s like this. That day, our quartermaster found me and told me to bring a group of soldiers to patrol the area between the Eastern Kingdom and Xuanyuan Kingdom. I felt that this was a good thing, so I agreed."


    "On the way, Xiao Hu passed me the pastries that we brought from the Royal City. Little sister, you don''t know, I still miss the food in the Royal City a lot on the day I leave home."


    Qiao Liangjin listened silently. His hand was carefully twisting the hem of his clothes, but he did not interrupt Qiao Ruo Ying''s words.


    Qiao Ruo Ying paused for a moment. He realized that Qiao Liangjin did not intend to ask him who Xiao Hu was. Thus, he could only continue.


    "When I reach the first line of the sky, my stomach starts to ache. After I get off the horse, I start to vomit on the side. At that moment, Xiao Hu told me that he wanted me to see what was under this cliff. I stuck my head out to look, but didn''t expect him to push me so hard. "


    "When I turned around to look at him, I saw a lot of rocks rolling down from the top of the mountain." Jo drew out the breathtaking scene of that day.


    "Xiao Hu, the stones are falling." "Seems like they''re afraid that you won''t die completely." Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose and laughed coldly.


    "They? Little sister, do you know who it is? "


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and pondered for a few minutes. Then, he raised his head and looked at Qiao Ruoyin and said, "It''s not easy for us to get down, we need Ling Yu''s help to get out. The walls are all around us, there''s definitely a place to get out."


    Qiao Ruo Ying was discouraged and lay down on the bed again. She looked at the ceiling and said: "If I could get out, I would have already gone out. That woman has annoyed me to death every day."


    Following that, he sighed and said, "But I still have to thank her. If she hadn''t caught me halfway, I might have already been smashed into a pulp."


    Qiao Liangjin raised her eyebrows and gave a slight smile. This was her big brother.


    She sat at the door for a long time, until Qiao Liangjin opened it and helped Qiao Ruo Ying out.


    Ling Yu saw that Qiao Ruo Ying had also come out, and became a little anxious. She extended her arms and stood in front of the two of them. She shook her head and said, "No, you can''t take him away now."


    Qiao Ruo Ying impatiently waved her hand and said, "We still have things to do. We need to go back. Stop messing around. I will definitely repay you for saving our lives in the future."


    Ling Yu''s lips moved, and her round eyes filled with tears.


    Seeing this, Qiao Liangjin''s heart ached.


    The round, jade-like face, round eyes, delicate and charming nose, and red and tender mouth in front of him all showed that she was a lively and moving little beauty.


    Was his brother really an idiot?


    He could even feel the girl''s feelings for Qiao Ruo Ying.


    He pinched Qiao Ruoyin''s ribs, then said with his teeth bared, "Speak properly, otherwise I will leave you here for the rest of your life."


    He turned around and greeted Ling Yu with a smile. "Thank you, Miss Ling Yu, for taking care of my brother these past few days. If you have the chance to go to Xuanyuan Royal City, come find us at the Prime Minister''s Estate."


    When Ling Yu heard this, wasn''t this saying her goodbyes? He anxiously stamped his feet and said, "He can''t leave anyway."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he was somewhat unhappy. How could he be so ignorant? He had already given his address and if he wanted to repay the favor, he could go to the mansion. Otherwise, he could chase his own husband down and kill him.


    She gazed at the spirit jade with a quiet expression.


    Ling Yu subconsciously shrunk her neck back as she raised her head to look at her. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.


    Qiao Liangjin wasn''t in a hurry. Since she had come down to find someone, she was relieved. She was waiting for Ling Yu to tell her why Qiao Ruo Ying couldn''t leave.


    He helped her sit on the wooden bench in the courtyard. It was cold here, and only the faint light of the sky told them that it was daytime.


    Qiao Ruo Ying shuddered, and Ling Yu rushed into the house. She brought out a cloak and passed it to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin slightly raised his brows and covered his body with the cloak. With a dissatisfied expression, he said: "This kind of man who doesn''t know how to be grateful, he deserved to die from the cold."


    His words caused the two parties involved to lower their heads in embarrassment.


    Su Mucheng looked at the three of them in confusion. When she saw the funny look on Qiao Liangjin''s face and the twisted look on the two of them, she immediately understood.


    Smiling in realization, he tugged at Yu Sheng''s hand and headed towards the waterfall.


    After thinking for a long time, she gently said, "Although his poison is cured, he still needs the Seven Stars Grass here to continue healing and to continue strengthening his body. The reason why I pointed at his sleeping point is because he has been clamoring every day to go back and seek revenge."


    Qiao Liangjin was satisfied with the woman''s reply. She was indeed doing this for the sake of her brother.


    "If you want to leave, there''s a tunnel leading out of the lake under the waterfall. I''ll bring you guys with me, but it''s just that he, really cannot leave." Ling Yu bit her lower lip and told Qiao Liangjin how she was going to get out.


    Saying that, he gave the cloak to Qiao Liangjin.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin put his cloak around her.


    Qiao Ruo Ying looked at the situation as if Qiao Liangjin was really going to leave her here. She pulled Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve and said anxiously, "No way, I want to go with you. I want to find Xiao Hu. I want to ask him why he is doing this."


    Qiao Liangjin pressed down on Qiao Ruoyin''s shoulder, trying to calm him down.


    "Quiet, listen to me."


    Qiao Liangjin''s tone had a kind of admirable nobility to it. He was used to commanding others, but it didn''t make others feel like he was being instructed. His "listen to me" command that seemed to be a discussion made Qiao Ruo Ying quiet down.


    "Spirit jade will not harm you. If it really does harm you, then it will not save you. She is the person who understands your current constitution the best. I have already checked your body. I will remember when I get my revenge."


    After Qiao Liangjin said this, he sighed in his heart. It seemed that he would have to stay in Shengcheng City for a period of time.


    Qiao Ruo Ying had always treated her little sister''s flower as an imperial decree, so she could only obediently nod her head.


    Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment and smiled. He then reminded Qiao Ruo Ying, "Remember, don''t give Miss Ling Yu any trouble. She is a woman who knows her limits, don''t let her down."


    Qiao Ruo Ying was like a abandoned child, looking pitiful. She pulled Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve and asked: "Then when will I see you again?"


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin felt that he was performing the role of a saint. With a maternal aura, he gently patted his brother''s head and grinned: "Good girl, you''re asking for Lingyu."


    Ling Yu quickly replied, "If you want another fifteen days, you can leave."


    Qiao Liangjin had entrusted the task of clearing up the waterfall to Ling Yu.


    It had already been two days and one night. If he didn''t go back now, Bai and Zi Yan might go crazy.

 C58 Crossing a Waterway

    With both hands behind his back, he raised his head to look at the narrow sky. His entire body was exuding a faint noble aura and his long hair was stained with the water droplets of the waterfall.


    Qiao Liangjin walked to the side of Su Qingqing with a smile and looked up at the sky.


    The sound of the waterfall was somewhat loud, and Qiao Liangjin''s voice was also slightly louder. "What are you looking at?"


    He cleared his slightly tilted face and looked at Qiao Liangjin''s delicate face. A smile appeared in his eyes as he took out a piece of blood jade and handed it to her. He said, "I couldn''t hold back last night and stole this thing. Sorry."


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the blood jade that Nangong had given her. She waved her hand and said, "This is for you, I don''t like this thing."


    Ye Zichen didn''t refuse it, and straightforwardly kept the blood jade in his arms once again.


    Yuesheng was leaning over the waterfall, waving his arms at the two of them.


    Qiao Liangjin shouted again, "Have you noticed that Yuesheng''s demonic spiritual energy seems to have increased? He''s grown a little too."


    Qing Shui rubbed his ears. His hearing had always been very good, but this little woman seemed to be afraid that the sound of the waterfall would mask her voice. She must speak loudly like this.


    He nodded and looked at Yu Sheng who was climbing up and down.


    This was a secret between him and Yu Sheng. He could change it to Yu Sheng at any time. The two men decided not to reveal this secret for the rest of their lives.


    Ling Yu rushed over from the village and jumped into the water. He floated up from the water again and pointed to the bottom.


    Qiao Liangjin said loudly, "Let''s go first, we can leave from here."


    Yuesheng saw Lingyu jump into the water, jumping off the waterfall and into the water.


    Since he was forced to dive into the water every day to practice swimming, his swimming speed had improved significantly.


    Qing Qing carried Qiao Liangjin and felt that she was much lighter than she thought. She couldn''t help but feel a slight pain in her heart, as if she was connected to the weight Qiao Liangjin had lost.


    He looked at Qiao Liangjin''s face as if he was looking at a priceless treasure. The corners of his lips curled up into an uncontrollable smile, "Don''t be so ugly in the future."


    Qiao Liangjin could actually feel her heart beating faster. Her head suddenly opened wide.


    Would he lower his head and kiss himself? Should I respond to him? But he was the younger brother of that emperor. Why did he seem to be bewitched these past two days, as if he was liking getting along with him more and more? Obviously, they didn''t have a very pleasant time together.


    She looked into his eyes, her own little nervousness rippling through them.


    Su Qing suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly.


    When he smiled, his eyes were like fireworks in the middle of the night, illuminating the somewhat gloomy bottom of the cliff.


    He casually said, "I''ll bring you to swim there."


    Qiao Liangjin put his arm around her clean neck and made a gesture of trust. He leaned into his chest and said softly, "Don''t lose that damn fox ¡­"


    The clear eyes seemed to smile and nod. He said softly, "Don''t worry, I''m good at swimming."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. He really thought of himself as a weak and delicate little girl.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin''s confident smile, Su Chen turned around and jumped into the water with Qiao Liangjin in tow.


    The water flowing at the bottom of the cliff was bone-chilling cold. If it weren''t for the fact that her hands were constantly sending inner force to Qiao Liangjin, her teeth might have been chattering.


    Ling Yu''s breath was extremely good. She had been holding her breath the entire time as she brought the two people and a fox to swim towards the bottom of the pool.


    The moment the little fox was cleared into the water, it used an extremely thin black rope to tie itself around its waist and pulled it down with it.


    Qiao Liangjin held his breath and closed his eyes. He then tightly leaned against the arm that was about to clear it.


    After leaving this place, he would probably return to the Royal City and they would part ways here.


    Her heart was in turmoil. She had been pushed down the cliff because of Qiao Ruoyin''s poison. Who was behind all of this?


    Three steps were taken to kill her, each one perfectly capable of murdering her.


    If she found out that it was really the Emperor who did this, she would definitely slaughter her way into the Imperial Palace and chop off the fingers of the Emperor one by one.


    But would clearing up allow him to take revenge?


    If he cleared the way and stood in front of the emperor, would his dagger be able to stab into the chest of the person who had murdered his brother?


    Thinking about it for the past half month, he couldn''t sleep at all. He was worried about his brother''s death, and also worried about whether he was still alive.


    Qiao Zheng''s old age, her galloping, and Qiao Ruoyin''s martial arts had all been lost. Who would be the one to pay?


    After a moment of distraction, she choked on the saliva in her nose and quickly held her breath.


    Unexpectedly, a thin lips pressed down on hers.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were wide open. Aiya, shit, isn''t this the most common scene in costume dramas? As long as you''re in the water, the male lead will definitely give the female lead a whiff?


    A hand pushed for her to clear her throat.


    She was indicating that she didn''t need to cross the air, but the smell of the rosin was faintly transmitted between their lips. She was actually a bit unsettled, and her hands that were originally pushing her suddenly changed to holding the collar of Su Qing''s shirt.


    His clear chest slightly trembled, as if he felt the change from resistance to welcome. He actually used his tongue to gently tap on her teeth.


    She actually hoped that there would be no end to this road.


    After passing through the long waterway, he could already see the bright sunlight. She reluctantly let go of Qiao Liangjin, her eyes filled with yearning.


    He climbed up to the shore from the water.


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit embarrassed. He coughed twice and raised his head to look at the sun at noon. He pinched his wet hair and said, "It''s still warm here."


    Ling Yu, however, did not come ashore. She floated on the surface of the water and said to Qiao Liangjin, "Miss Qiao, your brother will be delivered to Sheng Cheng in fifteen days. You just wait there."


    Qiao Liangjin hurriedly waved his hand and smiled to indicate that she understood.


    Ling Yu turned around and dived into the water.


    After clearing his body that was also wet, he sat down on the shore, put his finger to his lips and let out a loud and long whistle.


    Not long after, several dark guards approached them.


    Su Chen pointed at himself and Qiao Liangjin and said, "Go find two sets of clothes."


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at his clothes. Wow, they were so close-fitting that even his cup could be seen. He quickly covered his face and curled up his legs.


    The guard disappeared in an instant.


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, groaned from the side. "I don''t want to go through this waterway anymore."


    When Qiao Liangjin thought of that kiss in the water, a trace of red clouds appeared on his jade-white cheeks.


    Su Chen closed his eyes and touched his lips with his fingers, as if the kiss in the waterway was a dream.


    Not long later, two sets of clothes were delivered by the guards.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was carrying a man''s outfit, found a huge rock and hid it behind before changing his clothes.


    The green robe was wide and long. Qiao Liangjin pulled out his dagger and cut off the part where he dragged the ground.


    He let his wet hair fall down the back of his head and walked towards the door to clean it.


    He had changed into a new set of clothes and was wearing a red brocade robe that was reflecting the light of the noon sun.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin realize that he was probably wearing this man''s clothes.


    Sigh, he had still cut open such a beautiful robe.


    Qing Qing squinted at Qiao Liangjin who was walking towards her.


    His face was as white as jade and reflected the light. His hair was long and wet, as if luring him to continue his journey to the waterway.


    Just as he was about to say something, the dark guard approached him and whispered something into his ear.


    The face of the guard immediately darkened. He gently waved his hand and the guard retreated.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face froze as he saw Qing Shui''s expression. He walked to his side and said seriously: "Go and busy yourself with your matters."


    He cleared his throat and then asked: "Are you still staying in Sheng Cheng?"


    "Yes, I want to find Xiao Hu. I want to find out who killed my brother."


    "Be careful. I will leave Lu Li and my hidden guards with you." He cleared away all the guards without a second thought.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head. He had already done such a great favor for her. If she still owed him, she would have to repay him with her own body.


    "What should I do if something happens to you?" Clearing his mind, he did not realize that the person who he liked to call himself "This King" had now changed to "I."


    Qiao Liangjin was about to continue to reject them, but when he heard these few people, he was left speechless, unable to refute them.


    He could only nod slightly and say softly, "Many thanks."


    As she looked at the charming girl in front of her, a faint sadness arose in her heart. He was truly worried for her. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have followed her like this and protected her the whole way.


    After thinking for a while, he suddenly grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s hand and lightly pressed her arm.


    Qiao Liangjin only felt his arm heat up slightly. When he moved his hand away, she realized that there was a red tattoo on his arm, like a Mandala blooming.


    Su Su Qing smiled apologetically, "I don''t have anything to show you. This is my emblem. If you need help, you can go to any shop with a clear name."


    After saying that, he turned around and left with a hidden guard.


    Qiao Liangjin stared blankly at the Mandala on his arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.


    Several guards flew down, and one of them cupped his hands and said, "I am Lu Bing, please follow us, Miss. I''ll take you to the Line Heaven."


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin put down his sleeves and nod.


    She dragged him to the edge of the sky and shouted, "Zi Yan, Bai, I''m back!"


    A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, holding her arm tightly with both of his hands, he asked nervously: "Are you alright? You''re not poisoned, right? "


    Qiao Liangjin gently struggled free from his hands, but politely said with some distance between them: "Sixth Prince of the Southern Sea, men and women cannot understand this."


    Then he waved his hand and ran towards Zi Yan.


    On the other hand, Zi Yan, who was usually calm, hugged Qiao Liangjin and wiped away her tears.


    "Miss, I was so scared that I didn''t know what to do after waiting for so long. If something happened to you, what would we do?"

 C59 Back to Sheng Cheng

    Qiao Liangjin smiled as he patted Zi Yan''s back to comfort her.


    Zi Yan cried and found that the clothes on Qiao Liangjin''s body were no longer the clothes at the bottom of the cliff. She grabbed her sleeve in surprise and asked, "Eh, Miss, when you went down, it wasn''t this clothes, this shirt is so wide, the symbol on this sleeve looks really familiar ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin pulled back his sleeves, rolled them up, and said in embarrassment: "This is borrowed, borrowed."


    Nan Li snorted from his seat not far away.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Nan Li as if he was nothing.


    She didn''t invite him to come with her, but instead, she came jubilantly.


    Ah Bai took out a set of child''s clothes from his backpack and handed them to Yu Sheng, who was running around bare-butted.


    It was not easy to find an excuse to not put on any clothes, so how could he easily put on the clothes he had taken off?


    Qiao Liangjin lazily laid on the ground and said loudly, "Bai, just put a undergarment on him and he''ll be fine. He''s so awesome now, and he''s even angry now. Oh right, Prince of the Southern Six, can you stop drooling at Yuesheng?"


    Qiao Liangjin told Bai and Ziyan about what had happened at the bottom of the cliff.


    When Zi Yan heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed: "Why do I feel that Miss Ling Yu will become the First Young Madam of our Prime Minister''s Estate?"


    Qiao Liangjin stretched out his finger and tapped Zi Yan''s forehead, then softly scolded her: "Mislead yourself."


    Qiao Liangjin did not mention the matter of Su Chen accompanying him down.


    She was a woman of importance, while South Li was a prince who coveted the imperial throne. She wasn''t sure if South Li would do anything for the sake of the imperial throne.


    It would not be impossible for the Xuanyuan Nation to tie him up and send troops to attack the Southern Kingdom, then threaten to give him the throne of the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.


    Nan Li looked at Qiao Liangjin who was looking at him casually, touching his face and checking his clothes. There was nothing wrong with that.


    On the other hand, Qiao Liangjin was wearing men''s clothes. Judging from the exquisite workmanship of his sleeves and robe, he should have been made by a master.


    Even if there was a village at the bottom of the cliff, no one would have such clothes.


    Then there seemed to be another person, but who was this person? Just now, he had seen the mark on his sleeve. He only felt that it looked familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen it before.


    Why would Qiao Liangjin hide from him? It couldn''t be that the ''men and women can''t understand each other.'' What kind of person was Qiao Liangjin? He had thought about everything along the way.


    Qiao Liangjin brought Zi Yan and Bai Li back to Sheng Cheng.


    This time, she did not alarm the mighty general. She wanted to find that person called Xiao Hu.


    Then he would use his own methods to find out who wanted to kill Qiao Ruo Ying.


    Qiao Liangjin found a small inn and stayed there. She couldn''t stop him from following her to the south. She could only get Bai to find a place to rent as soon as possible.


    Wait until you live in the small yard, and see how you keep up.


    In the room, Qiao Liangjin took a hot shower, changed into a new set of clothes and lay on the bed. In the room, Qiao Liangjin took a hot bath, changed into a new set of clothes, and laid on the bed.


    Lifting her arm and looking at the Mandala symbol on her arm, she knew deep down in her heart that she really owed him a great debt.


    Yuesheng had transformed into a Silver Fox and was lying by the head of the bed. Perhaps because he had been tired for two days, he was now snoring loudly.


    Qiao Liangjin gently pushed the snoring fox, then turned around and fell into a deep sleep.


    The night passed quickly, and Qiao Liangjin could feel that with just a blink, it was already morning.


    Ye Zichen touched the furry little fox beside his pillow out of habit, but his subordinates were actually empty.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight from the bed. He punched heavily on the bed and cursed: "Fuck, is there any meaning? I really have to give that slut three blades and six holes! "


    Hearing the sound of someone sneezing at the door, Qiao Liangjin jumped off the bed and ran towards the door. Pushing the door open, he threw a heavy punch towards the person sneezing at the door.


    That person''s reaction was fast as he easily caught Qiao Liangjin''s fist. He looked at the drowsy woman in front of him with astonishment: "Are you crazy?"


    Qiao Liangjin pulled his fist back from her palm and threw another punch towards her. That person stuck out his chest and took another punch from her.


    A dull sound came from that person''s chest, showing how heavy this punch of Qiao Liangjin''s was.


    The man only gave a muffled grunt, then said, "You''re greeting me so early in the morning?"


    Qiao Liangjin stretched out a hand, angrily raised his chin and asked: "Where''s my fox?"


    Nan Li looked at Qiao Liangjin''s room with a strange expression and asked: "Aren''t I with you?"


    Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes and withdrew his thoughts. If Nan Li had stolen the fox, why would he be here at this time?


    Alright, after thinking about it, it seems that I have wrongly accused this person in front of me.


    Qiao Liangjin blamed her aunt for her impulsiveness.


    Someone was walking upstairs with a thump thump. Zi Yan''s voice sounded out, "Eh, Miss, you''re awake?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked towards Zi Yan, who was carrying the little fox in her arms.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face turned slightly awkward. He wanted to apologize, but he didn''t know what to say.


    Nan Li looked at the little fox and raised his eyebrows at Qiao Liangjin. Then, he shook his head and walked to a room not far away from Qiao Liangjin''s room. He muttered to himself: "The weather today is really bad, people seem to get angry easily."


    Zi Yan carried the little fox and walked in front of Qiao Liangjin. She asked curiously: "What''s wrong?"


    Qiao Liangjin glared at the little fox and grabbed its neck, causing it to stare back at him and snarl, "What the hell did you do?!"


    Zi Yan hurriedly explained, "Yusheng was hungry. I took him to eat breakfast."


    The little fox, who was extremely wronged, raised its two claws to cover its eyes.


    On the other hand, Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose in embarrassment. It seemed that his temper had really gotten a bit worse today.


    After changing into a man''s outfit, Qiao Liangjin bundled up his hair and walked out of the inn in a spirited manner.


    Sheng City, a small county near the Eastern Kingdom, heavily guarded. From the top of the wall, one could see the mountain ranges of the Eastern Kingdom.


    Nearby the forest, the humidity was quite heavy. Qiao Liangjin pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead. She was carefully observing the nearby military camp.


    Maybe it was because the mighty general was too confident that he was actually training right outside of the city gates. With just a random scout, he was able to grasp the situation in his hands.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head slightly. She was not a female general, nor was she an official of the Imperial Court. Some things, if she said too much, would definitely be considered to contain evil intentions.


    Qiao Liangjin''s fingers gently caressed the brick wall, and with a slight touch of his fingertips, a small hole appeared in the brick wall.


    Frowning, she looked around and saw a man splashing water on the wall.


    The man was of average appearance and was short. He held a bucket in one hand and a half ladle in the other. As he sprinkled water, he chanted, "Hot weather, hot weather, to cool you down."


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth curled up. She glanced at the man once more before bringing the purple smoke with her as she descended from the wall. There were some things that she could only look at and remember.


    Zi Yan followed Qiao Liangjin down the city wall. Seeing that Qiao Liangjin was silent, she quickly took a few steps forward and followed behind Qiao Liangjin. She asked softly, "Miss, that city wall just now ¡­" "If the Eastern Kingdom were to attack, I''m afraid ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks, put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence.


    Zi Yan tactfully stuck out her tongue and didn''t continue on this topic.


    Qiao Liangjin did not have any good impression of this country. He came from the future, and the Emperor was a man who would add insult to injury, so it was not worth it for her to do things for this country.


    He thought about the sword hanging in the manor. Sooner or later, it would be cut off. He might as well let the king, who had nothing better to do, do something.


    Qiao Liangjin took a few large strides and suddenly thought of something. He grabbed a fan from behind his waist and flipped it open. He then fanned himself in the Magnificent Brocade City.


    After inquiring and inquiring, they arrived at a small brothel.


    There were people coming and going. The porters, farmers, and soldiers were all drunk. It was the easiest place to ask for information.


    He gathered his fan, lifted up his robe, and stepped into this place filled with dragons and snakes.


    Once he entered, the purple smoke couldn''t help but cover his nose. The stench of sweat, feet, and alcohol mixed together made him rush over.


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin, it seemed that he did not care and could only lower his hand.


    Seeing a handsome young boy walk in, the old procuress''s eyes lit up. She twisted her waist and walked over. It was as if a pair of white rabbits were about to jump out of her clothes.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the trembling pile of meat and slightly frowned. He then happily used his fan to lift up the bawd''s chin and asked lewdly: "Big sister is such a beauty. I don''t know if there is a better room. Bring your best big sister here for me to take a look."


    When the bawd heard that the handsome young man called her a beauty, it didn''t matter if what he said was true or not. She was delighted as she waved the handkerchief in her hand: "Aiya, little brother, this way, this way. The best rooms have all been prepared. "


    Qiao Liangjin followed the old procuress up the stairs as they walked through the crowd. He did not even bat an eyelid, as if he was a veteran in love.


    On the other hand, the purple smoke, having been touched several times, was so red that it could be compared to the cotton that was blooming outside.


    When she entered the room, Zi Yan hurriedly used both hands to cover her face, trying to cool it down.


    Looking at the unfazed Qiao Liangjin, Zi Yan was slightly curious. How could this young lady who was not as old as him be so calm and composed?


    Qiao Liangjin poured a cup of tea for herself and rinsed the teacup. She then poured the tea into the washbasin beside her. Suddenly, she was a little surprised and let out a cry of surprise.


    He poured another cup of tea for Ziyan and waved her over. "Come, come. Sit down and have a cup of tea."


    Zi Yan nodded and sat down. She raised her teacup and took a sip. "Longjing?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows relaxed. He was lying on the table with one hand holding his chin and the other shaking his teacup. He smiled and said: "Such a small brothel, to have such a habit and Long Jing."

 C60 The Enigma of the Enigma

    The purple smoke rose and circled the room.


    A sandalwood table, a sandalwood bed, even though there was a pile of ordinary powder on the outside, the furnishings and decorations in this room were of the highest class and most exquisite.


    Zi Yan pushed open the window and looked outside. Outside the window was the backyard of the brothel. There was a pond inside the brothel and a pavilion was sitting on top of the pond.


    Qiao Liangjin leisurely drank all the tea in his cup.


    The old procuress came in with two women. As soon as he entered the door, he had the two ladies stand in front of him. Then, he walked behind Qiao Liangjin and pressed his chest against Qiao Liangjin''s thin shoulders.


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the chest on his shoulder and then pinched it mischievously. He laughed and said: "Big sister, you are so comfortable."


    The old procuress stroked Qiao Liangjin''s pink cheeks and laughed, "Little bro is laughing at me. If I were ten years younger, I would have definitely accompanied you."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud and looked towards the two women.


    The two girls were actually no different from the girls outside. The fragrance on their bodies was also very strong. However, compared to others, he was much younger.


    Although the two girls were young, they did not have any bashful feelings. They gracefully and naturally blessed Qiao Liangjin''s body.


    Qiao Liangjin''s pupils slightly contracted as he fiddled with the teacups in his hands. Without batting an eyelid, he sized up the two girls.


    He then heavily placed the cup down, pointed to his side and said, "Come, come, ladies, sit down."


    The two girls then sat down beside Qiao Liangjin. Master Turtle quickly served the dishes and wine.


    The old procuress was quite tactful. She held Zi Yan''s hand and laughed: "Little brother, do you want me to arrange one for you next door too?"


    Zi Yan hurriedly withdrew her hand and waved it away. "No, no, no, there''s no need."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and explained to the old procuress, "This little servant is still not ripe yet. If it''s not time to pick, then we can pick. How about I send him to my sister''s bed?"


    When the old procuress heard this, she beamed with joy and waved her hands, "Aiya, forget it, forget it, let''s not waste this little gongzi, you guys can take your time. I still have things to do, so I''ll be leaving first. "


    With that, the Madam closed the door behind her.


    The girl dressed in pink beside him quickly poured a cup of wine, raised her glass and said, "Young Master, please drink."


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, fanned himself to raise the bottom of his wine cup. He maintained his smiling expression as he said, "Come, come, let''s drink, young lady."


    The pink-clothed girl was slightly hesitant and gave the purple-clothed girl a look.


    The purple-dressed woman quickly raised her glass and smiled, "Perhaps it''s because the pink butterfly''s wine cup isn''t heavy enough, so how about I, as your elder sister, toasts to Young Master?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s smile was still hanging on his face, but the temperature within his smile was slightly lower.


    "I said it already. Whoever drinks it will get to drink it."


    The room immediately quieted down.


    The two girls looked at each other for a moment, then they poured the wine from their glasses onto Qiao Liangjin''s face.


    Qiao Liangjin was already prepared. He slammed his palm on the table, and the chair was pushed back and the table was kicked over. The fan in his hand flipped in his palm and knocked away the daggers that the two women took out from their sleeves.


    The two girls were terrified. They thought that the person who had arrived was just an ordinary foppish young lord. They never expected that he would have martial arts skills. They wanted to flee in fear.


    He had only taken one step when a leg crossed in front of him and both of them fell to the ground.


    The handsome young man behind her walked over with steady steps, and instead stepped on the violet-clothed woman''s body.


    The pink-clothed woman screamed and pushed open the door, wanting to rush out, but instead, a stool flew over and smashed into her back. Following that, another stool flew over and smashed into her knee, and with a ''kacha'' sound, the pink-clothed woman hugged her knee and cried out with runny nose, "My leg, my leg ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin squatted down with a smile on his face. When he saw the terrified look on the purple-dressed woman''s face, his voice remained calm as he asked, "You, why did you want to kill me?"


    Hearing the noises coming from upstairs, they all stopped and looked up quietly.


    The bawd''s expression immediately changed. She gave Mr Turtle a look and hurried upstairs.


    Noticing the butterfly who was rolling on the ground and the woman who was crying on the ground, he hurriedly walked over, wanting to get close to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin took out the dagger in his hand and raised his eyebrows. "What, sister, you also want to try, how painful are those two?"


    The old procuress jumped back a little and patted her chest as if she was frightened. "Aiyee, what are you talking about? Young Master, did they not serve you well somewhere?


    Qiao Liangjin still had one foot on the purple-dressed woman''s back, but he stood up. The dagger in his hand turned slightly, and he almost dropped it.


    It scared the old procuress so much that her heart trembled.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled apologetically, "Aiya, I''m just afraid that my floral knife didn''t do well and accidentally fell down. This young lady is about to be stabbed to the heart by my blind dagger. Her heart is flying."


    The old procuress got anxious and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "We are the ones who have eyes but do not recognize Mount Tai. Please, young master, let us go, we too... "At the behest of others."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed even more happily. He slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again as he laughed: "How so? Was it another story? Could it be... Which little tyrant of this city is it? "


    The old procuress was stunned. Did this person know mind-reading skills? How did he guess what he was going to say?


    When Qiao Liangjin saw that the bawd''s gaze was fixed on him, he sighed in his heart. This was indeed the scene that was often seen on TV. There must be a mastermind behind this brothel.


    Now she wanted to hear how there was a story.


    She took her feet off the purple-dressed woman''s body, and the purple smoke quickly placed the chair on the floor straight. Qiao Liangjin sat on the stool.


    He opened his fan and waited for the bawd to speak with a look of respect on his face.


    "Sheng Cheng is under the jurisdiction of the mighty general, and under his command is a general ranked in Li. He can fight well, so the general pays a lot of attention to him."


    Qiao Liangjin scratched his ears and impatiently said: "Get to the point!"


    The old procuress nodded her head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Young Master, this brothel was opened by Li Can. On one hand it was for the sake of making money, and on the other hand it was to get rid of those unnecessary people in the Magnificent Brocade City."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head, indicating for her to continue speaking.


    Once you arrive, someone will notify General Li Can. If there are no threats, someone else will come to receive you. If you can''t stay, then there will be Pink Butterfly and Autumn Scene.


    Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin was curious. Why did this Li Can want to get rid of him?


    Touching the tip of his nose, Qiao Liangjin asked, "You betrayed him in full detail, aren''t you afraid that he will kill you?"


    The old procuress shook her head and said, "From the very beginning, Li Can told you that as long as I am alive, you will tell me the truth."


    Qiao Liangjin''s pupils shrank like a cat''s. It seemed like this person had done something wrong in an open and aboveboard manner. Since he couldn''t do it, he might as well be honest and leave behind his life.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and walked over from the purple clothes, then walked over to the old procuress''s side. He walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back: "Ziyan, leave Jinye behind, let''s go, that''s the medical fee, if this Li Can is interested, he can come to the Spring Breeze House to find me."


    Zi Yan quickly took out a golden leaf from her waist and threw it on the purple-dressed woman''s body. Then, she quickly followed Qiao Liangjin downstairs.


    Walking on the street, Zi Yan was a little curious and asked, "Miss, how did you see that they had problems? Also, why did the noise upstairs not affect the other guests at all?"


    Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose. How did she know? Perhaps it was the sensitivity left behind by her previous life as a hitman, always telling her that there was danger here. Although the two women dressed in vulgar attire, their behavior seemed to be tamed.


    There are not so many coincidences in this world, and there are not so many reasons.


    When her eyes swept over the two women, she knew that they were also men who licked blood off their blades.


    As for why the others weren''t affected at all, when she entered this brothel, she could smell the thick smell of opium.


    How many people who can be manipulated by opium have the time to meddle in the affairs of others?


    What on earth was this General Li Can doing?


    There seemed to be more and more secrets hidden in this small Shengcheng City. How many more secrets did the man who poured water on the wall, the general who dared to kill in a brothel, Li Can, have?


    Not far away, in the Fragrant Sky Tower.


    There was an important guest leaning on a long beauty bed. He was dressed in a wide, bright red robe with dark red patterns embroidered on it. The red cloth on the robe didn''t look ordinary at all on this man''s body.


    Playing with the Amethyst cup in his hand, he looked playfully at the lady who was playing the lute in front of him.


    The singing lady was as gentle as water. Her ten fingers rapidly strummed the strings of her lute. Her voice was clear and melodious, but her eyes kept darting a glance at the beautiful man leaning against the bed.


    The beautiful man''s lips curled up into a faint smile. In his eyes, there was an uncountable amount of elegance and elegance.


    "It''s nice. General Li Can. You''re thoughtful." After the song ended, the beautiful man placed the amethyst cup in his hand onto the tray, and slowly sat up.


    The man who was called General Li Can, quickly cupped his hands and smiled, "Seventh Prince is too kind, I didn''t know he would come, and didn''t prepare anything. I hope you don''t mind."


    She smiled leisurely and said with a profound expression, "That''s right, Li Can Jiang is very sensible."


    Li Gen waved his hands repeatedly as if he was in exultation, and then gave a look to the singing girl.


    The singer quickly put down the lute in her hands and picked up a cup of wine. She smiled as she raised her glass towards the cleanliness on the bed. "Seventh Prince, welcome."


    His clear eyes did not look at the singer.


    A blood jade pendant had appeared in his hand.


    What was she doing now? His clear mind was still thinking about Qiao Liangjin who had accepted his kiss in the waterway.


    "The weather is a bit hot, General Li. Why don''t we go up and take a look at the city walls and see how tall the mountains of the Eastern Kingdom are?"

 C61 Night Study

    Li Geng hurriedly stood up and saluted with his hands folded in front. "Seventh Prince, right now the sun is at its highest point, so I''m afraid that I might injure His Highness. How about we wait until the evening before we go take a look?"


    He cleared his throat with a smile, got down from the bed and walked out leisurely.


    Li Can only hurriedly walk to the front to lead the way.


    Along the way, they cleared up all the random questions. None of these questions were related to the border crossing, but every single one of them could not be wrong. Every single one of them had to think carefully before answering.


    At the foot of the city wall, Qing Qing looked up at the tall city wall and stopped in her tracks.


    Li Can Jiang''s face was full of smiles as he said, "Seventh Prince, please go up to the city wall."


    Walking up the stairs, I wiped my nose and smiled, "I don''t want to go anymore. This weather is indeed a little hot and stuffy. This King should be careful not to get burnt. "


    Li Can almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    However, he had no objection. He could only continue to greet him with a smile. "Then, Seventh Marquis, let''s go to the General''s Estate. General Wei should be back by now."


    He stood still beneath the city wall, looking up at the city wall with narrowed eyes. His nose was twitching slightly, as if he was trying to catch a whiff of something in the air.


    He didn''t know when, but Qiao Liangjin''s habit of rubbing his nose had already become his.


    He rubbed the tip of his nose, cleared it, and followed Li Can to the mighty general''s manor.


    After returning to the Spring Breeze House, Qiao Liangjin told Bai about what had happened today, as he had already found a small courtyard.


    Xiao Bai looked at the two girls in men''s clothing in surprise. He looked at them carefully before shaking his head, "No, miss. We shouldn''t go to a place like this from now on."


    Qiao Liangjin knew that Bai was really worried about him, so he only smiled warmly and said: "There won''t be a next time. I think that after what I did today, this brothel would be completely empty."


    Zi Yan was curious as to why Qiao Liangjin was so certain. Just as she was about to ask why, Nan Li''s voice came from the door, "Has Miss Qiao come back?"


    Qiao Liangjin lazily leaned against the window and said in a clear voice, "I''m not here. I went out. Could I trouble you to go to Shengcheng City and take a look?"


    Nan Li''s laughter came from outside, and then the door was pushed open.


    Nan Li grabbed the little silver fox and walked in. He tossed it onto the bed and said, "Give this little fox a bath. I''ll sleep with you tonight to make sure it''s clean."


    He was not a pet, and he often took baths. Why did it feel like he was very dirty in any case when he heard Nan Li''s words? He constantly bared his fangs and brandished his claws at him while making hissing sounds, threatening him not to speak any further.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said, "Whatever. No matter how good you are to him, it''s useless. Even if you let all the blood out of its body, it will not go with you. "


    Nan Li raised his eyebrows and sat in front of the round table. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "What are you doing in a woman''s outfit? "Oh, looking at it like this, it''s not bad for a little brother like you."


    Qiao Liangjin was too lazy to respond to him, supporting himself with his arms as he looked out at the street scenery.


    As he looked, he exclaimed in surprise.


    Nan Li asked curiously, "What''s wrong?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Nan Li and said without showing any mercy, "Right and wrong."


    Nan Li scratched his head as he felt that the woman before him was really strange. During the entire afternoon in the Magnificent City, there were already many women who had casted flirty glances at him and gifted him handkerchief. There were even some who had stuffed their undergarments into his hands.


    However, the girl in front of him had always kept her distance from him. Was it because he was robbing a fox?


    Qiao Liangjin saw a red figure flash past on the street. How could she not know who that familiar figure was? She thought that he had already rushed back to the capital, but to think that he would remain here as well.


    It seemed that something was going to happen in Sheng city, and she was right to stay. Taking advantage of the chaos here, he might be able to find Xiao Hu.


    He thought about many things and turned around, only to find that Nan Li was still looking at him with a lustful look.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned. This person was really insensible. Since he could talk to such an extent, even if he was a beautiful man, he would still like to watch.


    "Why aren''t you leaving?"


    "Because you are here."


    "Sixth Prince, do you want to become the Emperor?" Qiao Liangjin threw out his trump card.


    Nan Li''s originally smiling expression immediately disappeared.


    "What do you mean?" Nan Li asked softly.


    "The Eastern Kingdom seems to be sending troops to Xuanyuan this time, so if you want to cause trouble in the south, you have to cause chaos in the south." The Eastern Kingdom seems to be sending troops to Xuanyuan this time, so if you want to cause trouble in the south, you have to cause trouble in the south.


    Qiao Liangjin paused for a moment.


    Nan Li made a "please" gesture, then told Qiao Liangjin to continue.


    "At this time, you can use the military power you have now to calm the chaos in the Eastern Kingdom, seize the hearts of the people, and then walk while rumors spread, making the people question the Third Prince. Then, you can seize the military power in the Third Prince''s hands, and when that time comes, you can point your fingers at the Imperial City and I won''t believe that the high and mighty Emperor will lose his life for the sake of the throne." Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly.


    Nan Li sucked in a breath of cold air as he coldly looked at the girl in front of him.


    Was she really a woman? He actually wanted to kill his own father.


    Qiao Liangjin''s finger lightly flicked on the windowsill as he looked sideways at the shocked Nan Li. He smiled and said, "A man that can''t kill is a man who can''t."


    What a good ''No poison can''t be a man''! Nan Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.


    She thought this would be the most troublesome matter. Not to mention that there had been no movements from the Eastern Kingdom this entire time, even if there were, it seemed as if they wanted to invade Xuanyuan Kingdom.


    Qiao Liangjin stretched his back and stood up. He patted his belly and said, "Sixth Prince, I''m very hungry. Why don''t you treat me to a meal? I still don''t know where the food in this Magnificent City is delicious. "


    Nan Li was a very smart person, after hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, he knew that she must have hidden some good methods. He also stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Tian Xiang Restaurant, I heard that it''s the best restaurant in this city."


    Qiao Liangjin walked behind Nan Li, one of his arms holding onto Yu Sheng. He was smiling as he thought to himself. This ancient man was indeed stupid. The schemes that he had seen would definitely be taught to him in the movies in the future.


    He wasn''t interested in becoming the emperor himself, or else she would have plotted to move and poke the person in the upper echelon out of hiding.


    She was smiling so hard that her eyes curved into crescents. She did not know that it was her suggestion today that would turn the politics of five countries upside down.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had eaten his fill, was proudly lying in an inn with his legs crossed. Tomorrow, he would move to a small courtyard and be able to avoid Nanli. He could not help but feel pleased with himself.


    Yu Sheng was sitting in a bathtub not far away, angrily washing his hands. Puzzled, he asked, "Haven''t I already showered? Why do you still want me to continue showering?"


    "I don''t like the smell of the flowers and plants that Nan Li gave you." Simple and clear.


    She suddenly sat up and got off the bed. She walked straight to the window, as if there was something luring her there.


    Her natural sensitivity made her feel as if something had happened in the general''s manor not too far away.


    He turned to Yu Sheng and said, "I''ll go out for a while. When I return, you just wait obediently for me here."


    With that, he turned around and left through the window.


    After all, he couldn''t just leave through the gate and let that guy, Nan Li, follow him.


    The city was quiet at night, and not a single soul could be seen on the streets. Compared to the night in the capital, the people here seemed to be accustomed to closing their doors to sleep as soon as the sky darkened.


    Qiao Liangjin dashed all the way to the outside of the courtyard wall of the general''s manor.


    He took a deep breath and quickly climbed up the wall of the general''s manor.


    The entire General''s Estate seemed to be welcoming some important figure. The lights were bright, and even the small lotus flower pond was filled with lotus leaf lamps.


    Qiao Lianjin looked at the pavilion at the end of the long corridor and saw a man in red clothes, leaning on a chair lazily and elegantly as he talked to the general.


    He sensed that someone was looking at him from the top of the wall, so he raised his head to look in Qiao Liangjin''s direction.


    Qiao Liangjin hurriedly shrunk his body. He suddenly felt that it was very interesting and smiled at himself. He was in such a dark place, how could he possibly see him?


    She suddenly leaned excitedly on the wall and watched as the pavilion cleared and the wine cup was pushed forward. A young woman gently toasted him.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head. This was truly a male-dominated society. Since ancient times, when a man came out to socialize, he had always been accompanied by a woman.


    She cleared her throat and didn''t accept the toast. She only stared at the woman and suddenly let out a long yawn. The woman''s face immediately became unsightly.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head in satisfaction at Qing Shui''s performance and lightly flipped down from the wall.


    According to what he remembered from the last time he came, Qiao Liangjin had avoided the patrolling soldiers and arrived at the door of the general''s study.


    Many of the secrets that he wanted to know were probably here.


    Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door to the study room.


    He regretted not bringing the little fox along, otherwise he would have been able to use the fox fire in his palm to inspect the study room.


    The last time he came, he felt something was off in the study, but he couldn''t think of anything after thinking for a long time.


    Today, when she went to the Fragrant Sky Tower and saw the God of Fortune at the entrance, she suddenly remembered why there was a Thousand-hand Guan Yin in the small study room. It wasn''t because of the heavy casualties, but because of how many souls the mighty general had on his hands.


    Moreover, even if they were afraid of ghosts coming to kill him, they should at least place a Zhong Kui in front of them.


    Qiao Liangjin lightly slipped into the study room and quietly closed the door.


    A pair of bright eyes, borrowing the light from the lanterns outside the door, lightly caressed the Thousand-hand Guan Yin''s face.


    How was he to activate the mechanism? Qiao Liangjin randomly touched, but each of her hands were so hard in their original position that her hands touched the drooping eyes.

 C62 Fire Fairy

    He didn''t expect to hear the sound of a mechanism coming from the abdomen of the Thousand-Hands Monastery. A cracking sound was slowly emitted.


    Qiao Liangjin recalled that the ancients liked to make concealed weapons in traps, so she quickly squatted on the ground. After a while, there was no sound. Only then did she slowly stand up.


    A piece of the Thousand-hand Guan Yin''s abdomen was exposed, Qiao Liangjin''s hand touched it and found a pile of papers.


    She frowned, thinking that it should be a Tiger Tally. How could it be paper?


    She took the paper to the window and slightly opened it, leaving a small gap and allowing the faint light to read the words on the paper.


    There was no beginning or signature on the letter. It was a simple sentence: Don''t worry, everything is under control.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned. What did this mean? What is it, don''t worry? Is it related to the Eastern State recently? She carefully examined the paper again. There was an orchid symbol in the lower right corner, and if one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it at all. It had to be folded to a certain point.


    Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment, then took the letter from the top and put it away.


    He put the other letters back in their place. He was about to go out, but he couldn''t open the door.


    Qiao Liangjin retreated a few steps, turned around and quickly walked to another window. She did not believe that anyone would be aware of her arrival and shut the door.


    The window had actually been closed. It shook a few times, but it did not budge at all.


    Qiao Liangjin could vaguely smell the smell of burning oil at the door and was startled. This was no longer letting a dog go when the door was closed. This was setting her on fire!


    Before she could finish her thought, there was a flash of fire outside and the tongue of fire came licking in through the gap in the door.


    Qiao Liangjin quickly turned around and walked over to the washing pool. He placed the mask that was wrapped around his face into his hands and soaked them in the water. Then, he wrapped it around his face.


    Lying on the ground, she could only feel the fierce flames roasting her surroundings, and she was trying very hard to think of a way to get out.


    She could not die here, there were too many things she had not done, this mighty general was a ruthless character, she, Qiao Liangjin, was a person who would take revenge no matter what. If she could escape today, she would definitely let this mighty general experience the feeling of being burnt alive.


    The flames were licking the nearby tables and stools. The smoke had already covered her line of sight. She suddenly hated herself for her poor lightness skills, or else she would have been able to break out from the roof.


    No, now was not the time to complain about whether he had martial arts. Qiao Liangjin half squatted on the ground and then fiercely jumped up. Although his body was functioning well, jumping onto the beam seemed to be insufficient.


    Qiao Liangjin took a few steps back, and seeing that the flames were about to touch her body, she forced herself to step on the table, and then stepped on the screen. Finally, she used both hands to climb onto the roof beams, and tried her best to lift her body up, away from the flames!


    But if there was no way out, he would still be buried in the sea of fire!


    Taking out her dagger, she was about to cut a hole in the wooden roof when she didn''t expect that someone would strike down with a palm strike from above.


    A man in a red robe descended in front of Qiao Liangjin like a deity walking out of a flame. His eyes were deep like black gems as they shined brightly at her, who was being burned by the flames.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes had already turned red from the smoke. She opened her mouth and laughed, remembering that she was masked. He could not see her smile.


    She lowered her head to look at the stubborn woman before her. She was stronger than he had imagined that she would think of using such a method to escape from the fire.


    He put his arm around her waist and softly said, "Don''t be afraid, I''ll take you away."


    Finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and took Qiao Liangjin with him as he rushed out of the flames into the dark night.


    Li Can looked up to see a light streak across the night sky like a meteor. The next thing he saw was Su Su Su Qing and Qiao Liangjin landing in front of him.


    Su Xuan''s expression remained indifferent.


    On the other hand, Qiao Liangjin''s face was dark and his eyes were bloodshot. He raised his hand and greeted with a hoarse voice, "Hai."


    Suddenly, he remembered that he was still wearing a mask. He took off the mask and smiled. On his face that was completely black, a row of pure-white teeth gleamed.


    He cleared his throat and said indifferently, "General Li, this king has discovered that you seem to be in charge of this General''s Estate."


    Sweat flowed down Li Yuping''s forehead. He wiped it with his sleeve and said in a slightly strained voice, "Seventh Prince, I don''t quite understand what you''re saying."


    Su Hao looked at Qiao Liangjin who was grinning widely and asked: "Do you know who is beside me?"


    Of course Li `er didn''t know who this person was, he only knew that once someone entered the study, he was prepared to catch a turtle in a jar and burn to death the person who discovered his secret.


    He shook his head. To show that he didn''t know.


    Clear but extremely intimately pulled Qiao Liangjin''s slender waist close to her, and pulled her into his embrace. He took a deep sniff of her body and smiled. "She is the first wife of my Seventh Prince''s estate."


    Li Yuping was shocked.


    Even Lu Li, Lu Bing, and the person in question, Qiao Liangjin, were shocked.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose and silently tried to move his hand away from her waist.


    Li Zhiqiang was far away from Sheng Cheng, so he obviously didn''t know what happened to Wang Chengli. At this moment, when a Seventh Princess became the leader of the family and he nearly burned her to death, his legs softened as he thought of this crime.


    Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed to Su Qing and Qiao Liangjin with all his might. "Seventh Prince, Seventh Princess, your subordinate doesn''t know, please forgive me, your highness."


    Su Moyu looked at the dark-faced Qiao Lianjin and asked gently, "Princess, what do you think This King should do?"


    Qiao Liangjin finally broke free from the Demon Claw, his hands folded across his chest as he looked at the blazing fire in front of him, and suddenly touched his nose and laughed: "Forgive you? "Sure, how about we go around the fire?"


    Li Yuping''s expression was extremely ugly as he kowtowed nonstop. Wasn''t this asking for his death? No matter what, he was going to die. It would be better to just chop him up with a blade.


    The clear voice slightly rose: "Eh? Why aren''t you going? "


    Saying so, he kicked the kneeling Li, Li, into the fire.


    There was a scream from the fire, and a man ran out of the fire and into the pond.


    The guards were scared to the point that their entire bodies were covered in sweat, no one dared to go up and fish Li Zhenyi out of the water.


    Qiao Liangjin was extremely satisfied with the way things had been cleared out. This execution ability was simply amazing.


    Only then did he slowly say, "Hurry up and save your contestant."


    He then took out some ointment and threw it on the ground. "Give this to him. There won''t be a problem."


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t think that Li Xingzhi had the guts to burn her to death.


    If she spared him, it would also show the person behind him that she could control anyone''s life.


    Qing Qing held Qiao Liangjin''s hand but still maintained her gentle appearance. She said softly, "Madam, do you want to wash up? Look at your little face, it''s really dark. How about I clean it up for you?"


    Qiao Liangjin slightly smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Prince, didn''t we say that chenqie would conduct private interviews? Then chenqie will return to her original place." "Bye bye."


    With that, she stretched her waist and lazily walked towards the main entrance. Since everyone already knew who she was, she might as well disguise herself tomorrow.


    Su Qing looked at her with a smile that wasn''t a smile. She seemed to be filled with interest in her.


    She was truly unique. Courage, perseverance, perseverance, intelligence, she would definitely take revenge.


    Lu Li quietly told Lu Xiao, "Look at that look in your eyes, it''s full of worship." This woman is really amazing. "


    Lu Bing also nodded. "Look at Prince''s eyes. When have you ever seen someone like that before? I think this Seventh Princess won''t be able to escape."


    Lu Li nodded and suddenly thought of something. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "I almost forgot. Prince has a very powerful love rival. He sent me a coral tree that is as tall as a man.


    Another voice said in a low voice, "Tch, how can a coral tree save a life in such a critical moment? It is very important. According to the performance on the stage, this Miss Qiao must have given her body as a gift to thank the King for saving her life." Our prince is at ease. "


    Lu Li snorted, "You, ah, you don''t know this Miss Qiao''s temper. If she was a woman who was willing to give herself up to others, our king would not be interested in her. Ah, the road of love is so arduous."


    The two of them squatted on the tree and discussed the matter of the prince. Suddenly, they heard a clear voice behind them saying, "What''s wrong with me? Are you still not going to follow Miss Qiao? "


    Lu Li and Lu Bing were almost sweating. This ¡­ this ¡­ How was he discovered?


    He quickly jumped down from the tree and ran after Qiao Liangjin!


    Remembering what Lu Li had said, he rubbed his nose and smiled.


    That''s right, Lu Li was right. If Qiao Liangjin was a woman who was going to give herself to him, he might not appreciate her so much.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and entered the room through the window. Yu Sheng, who had transformed into Silver Fox, suddenly woke up. He jumped down from the bed and transformed back into his human form.


    Ye Zichen frowned and smelled the scent in the air and said, "Why does it smell so thick?"


    Qiao Liangjin took off his clothes as he scolded: "Your master was almost burned by someone else today."


    Yuesheng asked in surprise, "What''s the situation? How did you come back alive?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze froze for a moment. He thought of the fire that was blazing to the sky, and how it had been purged from his body like a god.


    She casually used the water in the basin to wash herself. After washing the dust off her face, she jumped onto the bed and rested her hands on the pillow. Thinking of the danger she had faced today, her mood became exceptionally good.


    Yu Sheng looked at her bright eyes that were staring at the ceiling and said, "Other people''s women would cry and find someone to protect themselves after they experienced something. Master, look at yourself. Look at how excited I am. Why is this so exciting?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze swept over Yu Sheng who was standing on the ground. He touched his face and asked, "Is it really that obvious?"


    Yu Sheng nodded his head repeatedly.

 C63 Spiced Beef

    Qiao Liangjin let out a light breath, waved his arms towards the sky and laughed: "You''re right, you damn fox, I''m really excited."


    After tossing and turning for who knows how long, Qiao Liangjin finally fell asleep.


    In her dreams, the red-clothed man descended into her dreams with a smile on his face.


    A figure dressed in white walked to her bedside and lowered his head to look at her. Even in his dreams, he wore a smile on his face and his eyes were tinged with sadness.


    Yuesheng looked up and glanced at the white figure. However, the white figure raised its finger and placed it by its lips, shaking its head slightly.


    Yuesheng then closed her eyes and continued sleeping. In any case, he was an acquaintance of the master, so it didn''t matter.


    The white shadow''s hand gently pressed down on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder. Only after a long time did it slowly loosen its grip. He then left the room softly.


    When Qiao Liangjin turned around, he slightly opened his eyes. As if he saw a white shadow, she grinned and whispered, "Clear ¡­"


    The white figure suddenly stopped.


    Qiao Liangjin slept soundly that night. When she was outside the door, Nan Li desperately knocked on the bottom of the pot with his bowl. She opened her eyes, took out a dagger under her pillow and rushed towards the door.


    She, Qiao Liangjin, was someone who was angry with her for waking up. Unless she woke up herself, anyone who woke her up would have to pay the price.


    As soon as he opened the door, he slashed out at Nan Li.


    Nan Li lifted the basin to block, and the dagger split it open.


    Nan Li looked at the two halves of the bowl in surprise.


    Qiao Liangjin was also surprised. When did he become so strong? Although this dagger was easy to use, it definitely wouldn''t be able to split a wooden basin so easily.


    She slightly stirred the true energy within her body. It was truly strange; the true energy within her body was much purer and richer than before.


    Nan Li''s face was also full of surprise. "Good boy, why don''t you talk about the smell of the meat? It seems like your martial arts skills have improved as well."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and walked straight into the room. He said in a clear voice, "Go to the fire and take a stroll. You will definitely improve your martial arts."


    With a simple package, he moved into Bai and found a courtyard.


    Qiao Liangjin calculated that he had been in Shengcheng for two days.


    Although he had a pile of clues in his hands, they were all in disarray.


    Close to the truth, but lacking something.


    A''Bai cleaned up the courtyard and walked into the room. Looking at the paper in Qiao Liangjin''s hand, he said with a strange expression, "Eh, isn''t this an orchid paper? This is the most favorite pattern of the Great Sima!"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes lit up and he asked: "Great Sima? You mean the Great Sima Zhang Zhonghan? "


    Ah Bai nodded and said, "A few days ago, when the young master told me to order the Xuan paper, I happened to see this piece of paper. I looked at the orchid and asked the shop owner, and the owner told me that it was custom-made by the Great Sima."


    Great Sima, Li Yidao, General Wu, Xiao Hu, what did these people have to do with each other?


    Qiao Liangjin wrote the names on the paper.


    She suddenly felt that the official road that Qiao Zheng walked was a very arduous one. Many people were in the shadows, shooting cold arrows at him.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was deep in thought, heard a sharp cry from Yuesheng in the yard. He rushed into the room and pointed to the door and said, "Err... That... "They came again."


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and got up. He walked to the door and saw that there was a person smiling and greeting them from the top of the wall.


    "Nan Li, are you annoyed?"


    "Not at all."


    "¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin had nothing to say in response to Qiao Liangjin''s words. He could only leave it to him. After all, he couldn''t just chase him away. Furthermore, the other person was just standing on the wall and greeting him.


    He turned and was about to enter the house when he heard Nan Li say, "We''re neighbors from now on. I''ve already bought the house next door."


    Qiao Liangjin could only feel the corners of his eyes twitching.


    He could only silently curse: "They are really haunting me."


    Just as they were about to enter the house, Nan Li smacked his lips and said, "Today, the Wang and Niu families on the streets have slaughtered the cattle. They cut up a few catties of fresh beef to make stewed beef.


    Qiao Liangjin''s footsteps paused as the gluttony in his stomach continued to seduce him.


    She waved her hands in frustration and did not turn around. Her voice was filled with dissatisfaction as she said, "Don''t say so much. We''ll talk about it after we''ve done it well."


    As if ordered, Nan Li turned and disappeared from the top of the wall.


    Purple Smoke was already preparing dinner for the three of them in the kitchen. Not long later, she smelled the beef aroma coming from next door.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting in his room and thinking, could no longer think normally.


    Putting the letter away, he walked into the courtyard. Smelling the fragrance in the air, his stomach began to sing the empty plan.


    Nan Li''s head popped out of the wall again and asked with the same shameless expression, "How is it? Isn''t it fragrant? Let me tell you, I learned this stewed beef method from one of the most famous chefs in the Southern Kingdom. "


    "What''s with all the nonsense? Hurry up and do it. If you''re done, hurry up and bring it over. I''ll buy you a drink." Qiao Liangjin remembered that when he came out, he even brought a pot of Pear Blossom drunkenness with him.


    The little fox, Yuesheng, was already leaning against the wall. Her saliva could already be described as drooling at 3000 feet.


    A pair of starry eyes looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked, "Can we break the blood contract? It seems like it''s not bad to follow him. "


    With a "pa" sound, the little fox''s head was hit by a stone. He rubbed his forehead and muttered in a bitter voice, "Did you just say that you want to play?"


    After Zi Yan cooked a few dishes, she placed them on a table in the yard. Nan Li carried a pot of meat into the yard and placed it on the table.


    Looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, he seemed very generous, inviting everyone to have a taste.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed at the other two stools and let Zi Yan and Bai sit together.


    There was no need to pay so much attention when you were outside.


    Nan Li picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and placed it in Qiao Liangjin''s bowl. He asked with a smile: "You can taste it, it will definitely be very delicious."


    Qiao Liangjin followed the direction of the chopsticks and looked towards Nanli with a look of delight. There were too many pleasing ingredients in her smile. She nodded her head and placed the beef in the bowl into Yuesheng''s bowl, saying softly, "Hurry up and grow up, have more demonic powers. Eat more."


    Nan Li''s chopsticks paused for a moment and his smile instantly returned. He pointed at the bowl and smiled. "Everyone, quickly eat. It''s rare for me to be in such a good mood today."


    Perhaps he understood that Qiao Liangjin was slightly resistant to him. However, Nan Li didn''t make things too difficult for Qiao Liangjin and kept calling out to the other three to eat the meat.


    He poured himself a cup of Pear Blossom Rain Wine and took a deep sniff. He smiled and said, "This wine should be very old. It seems that people who can give this wine to you also really like you."


    Qiao Liangjin only smiled and did not reply.


    As a partner, Nan Li was actually quite good. However, she liked to see beautiful men. It was two different things to agree to live with beautiful men. She clearly knew this in her heart.


    Nan Li drank three cups of wine in a row, and actually looked a little tipsy. He grabbed the cup and asked, "That day, at the bottom of the cliff, who was the one who helped you?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s chopsticks paused slightly. He sighed and asked, "Is it very important to you?"


    Nan Li looked at Qiao Liangjin''s eyes that were like shooting stars. He didn''t know how to answer this question. Was it important? Doesn''t matter?


    What answer did he want to know? Was it an answer that would make him give up?


    Even if Qiao Liangjin said someone else, would he really give up?


    He grabbed the wine cup and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. "It''s not important. What''s important is that you''re still here. That''s good enough."


    It was obvious that Nan Li''s alcohol tolerance was inversely proportional to his martial arts.


    After a few drinks, he got drunk and had to be taken back to his room by Bai.


    Qiao Liangjin slowly chewed on the beef in his mouth in the darkness, thinking about the interactions between him and Qing Shui these past few days.


    Every step, every time, it was as if he were the one taking care of himself, protecting himself.


    His sense of distance towards South Asunder was also because he had cleared it up.


    She thought of that day when she had put her arm around her waist and told people that she was his first wife. A smile suddenly appeared on her face.


    Not far away, Lu Li kept swallowing his saliva. He looked at Qiao Liangjin who was sitting in the yard with a silly smile on his face. He said with a bitter face, "Being a dark guard is really painful, especially before such delicious food."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face turned slightly. He seemed to have heard Lu Li''s voice and said in a clear voice, "The dark guards that were with Seventh Prince. There''s a lot of beef in this pot. You guys can have it."


    Lu Li covered his mouth in surprise and looked around. Could it be that his flowers were in Qiao Liangjin''s ears? What a sin.


    Lu Bing seemed to be starving as well. He pushed Lu Li and said, "We''ve already met Miss Qiao. Why don''t we go down and have a bite to eat?"


    While Lu Li was still hesitating, Qiao Liangjin suddenly smiled and said, "If you don''t come out to eat, you''re going to feed the dogs."


    Upon hearing these words, Yu Sheng, who was eating heartily, became displeased. What did he mean by feeding the dogs? Although Ah Bai and Zi Yan had already finished, he had not finished yet.


    Eight dark guards came rushing out from all over the place. They knelt down on one knee and greeted, "Greetings, wangfei."


    The smile on Qiao Liangjin''s face froze. Yo, these hidden guards really have a sweet mouth.


    He could only wave his hand and say, "Everyone, you''ve worked hard. Come over and eat."


    The eight people gathered around the table and ate their meal with relish.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was standing at the side, had a big smile on his face as he looked at all the Dark Guards. When they were almost done eating, he smiled and said, "I''m about to be burned to death, but you guys still didn''t come out to save me. That''s great."


    The eight guards looked at each other and stopped their chopsticks.


    It really wasn''t easy to eat.


    Seeing everyone stop their chopsticks, Qiao Liangjin urged, "Don''t stop, keep eating! The weather is so hot and hot. It would be bad if it was tomorrow. There''s no refrigerator."


    Well, keep eating.


    On the other side, Qiao Lianjin coldly said, "Say, have you guys made the arrangements for your Prince to be the hero and save the beauty?" And then everyone was happy. "


    Lu Li put down his chopsticks with a bitter face.

 C64 Heart of Linglong

    Did they really need someone to eat it? How were they supposed to answer that question as guards? It was obvious.


    The eight guards looked at each other, not knowing if they should move their chopsticks or not.


    When Qiao Liangjin saw that everyone had stopped their chopsticks, he hurriedly urged them: "You guys aren''t going to eat, let the little mutt finish it."


    Yu Sheng, who was engrossed in his food, choked. This woman''s method of tormenting others was always a new legend.


    As if feeling that others didn''t believe her, she quickly raised her three fingers and swore, "I swear, I definitely won''t say anything. You guys hurry up and eat."


    Only then did the eight guards begin to move their chopsticks.


    Finally, after finishing the meal, the eight of them burped and said their apologies before flying off in all directions.


    Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose and snorted. "There''s no difference if I have you or not. You guys even took a free wage."


    Lu Li bitterly wrote everything he had just said onto a piece of paper and tied it to an owl. He said in a sad voice, "Go and find Master. Tell him not to be a strong lady like us."


    Su Chen looked at the bandaged Li Zhendi on the bed and sat down on a round stool to the side. He asked, "Is General Li''s injury really that bad?"


    The doctor at the side quickly kneeled down and said, "It''s nothing serious. It''s just that some of the burns have been covered with ointment."


    Su Qing nodded her head and gestured for the doctor to leave.


    As his two fingers swept across the air, Li Yizhi was jolted awake, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Su Ming and Su Chen.


    Su Qingqing lightly flicked her sleeves. She did not ask any further questions, but her eyes slightly slanted as she glanced at the trembling Li character for the first time.


    "I beg you, my lord, please spare my Li family. I am willing to die to atone for my sins."


    There was not a single trace of emotion on her clear and handsome face. When Li Xingzhi sat down on the bed in despair, her clear voice rang out, "Who is it? Who wants to kill Qiao Ruo Ying?"


    He thought that Su Chen wanted to ask about the crime of burning the principal consort, but unexpectedly, the one asking was Qiao Ruo Ying.


    Wasn''t that Qiao Ruoyin unable to find her corpse?


    After clearing up that seemingly monstrous face, a slight smile appeared on his face.


    However, that smile didn''t reach his heart. At most, it was just a smile that didn''t reach his eyes. It was just a kind of disdain.


    As if he had made up his mind, Li Zhiru said seriously, "This subordinate doesn''t know about this. I only know that Qiao Ruoyin has been killed on the Heaven Line."


    Qing Qing maintained her smiling appearance, but her voice became colder and colder. "So, it''s my Emperor Brother?"


    "Your subordinate doesn''t know. Your subordinate only knows that Qiao Ruoyin couldn''t find her corpse because of the collapse of the Heaven Line Cave. Until now, the one we reported to was also missing."


    Su Hengqing actually laughed out loud. "Haha, good, good. You are truly a loyal martyr. It''s fine, but I don''t know what to say."


    He stood up and coughed twice before turning around and leaving the room. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned his head to say, "The ointment that the wangfei gave you needs to be properly applied. "No scars."


    There was not even a little bit of gratitude in his eyes, but he still kneeled down and thanked her for clearing up.


    He shook his head and walked out of the room.


    It was already late at night. The guard nearby handed an owl to Su Ming. After Su Ming finished reading the contents of the letter, a smile appeared on his face that was completely different from before.


    Warmth, cleanliness, doting.


    He had once said that the woman he wanted was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Someone who could share the prosperity of the world, and someone who would be willing to be ordinary with him.


    Now it seemed that the once fat and foolish girl had long been annihilated by the passage of time.


    He admired the current Qiao Liangjin from the bottom of his heart.


    Thinking that the girl was not far from him, he impulsively wanted to take a look at her.


    As she thought about it, she lowered her head and realized that she was already standing on top of the wall of the courtyard she rented.


    They slowly descended into the courtyard. Bai opened the door and saw him. He closed the door again and turned out the light.


    Qing Shui rubbed the tip of his nose and walked towards the door of Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    Through the window, she could see the flickering flame of a candle. Before she fell asleep, she lightly knocked on the door.


    "Come in." The girl''s voice came out from inside.


    After clearing up, he pushed the door open. The woman he loved was currently leaning against the bed, holding a book in her hand. She was staring at the book under the bright candlelight.


    "Zi Yan, after a tired day, go to sleep." Qiao Liangjin did not raise his head.


    "The candle flame isn''t too clear. It''s not good for your eyes." She walked in front of Qiao Liangjin and snatched the book from her hands.


    He took a look at the cover and saw that it was Sheng Cheng''s miscellaneous notes.


    Qiao Liangjin obviously did not expect that the person who came would be cleared away. He looked at the culprit who stole the book from his hands with surprise, and then revealed a smile: "Seventh Prince, why did you come to visit so late at night?"


    "To see my beautiful, dignified, and exceptionally intelligent consort." Qing Shui didn''t mind using all of his words on Qiao Liangjin at the moment.


    Finished speaking, he sat down on the bed beside Qiao Liangjin and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was leaning on the blanket.


    The faint yellow candle flame projected itself into her bright eyes, flickering like a deep abyss, causing him to be unwilling to draw away.


    Long fingers caressed her smooth face. He smiled, and so did she.


    The man in front of her had eyes that were like shooting stars as he smiled gently. His skin that was like snow, under the candlelight, seemed to have a different sort of allure.


    His fingers were long and thin and warm. He was a natural pampered man, so his fingertips were not rough.


    A single man and a single woman, sharing a room. At this moment, the night was so dark that even the candlelight flickered gently.


    Of course, if he hadn''t been squatting at the side watching the two of them, it would have been a wonderful night.


    He saw two people looking at each other with affection in their eyes. He had cultivated for eight hundred years, so he still understood this point. As such, he transformed into a human form and crouched to the side.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head slightly as he glanced at Yu Sheng, who was yawning by the side, and asked, "Why are you squatting here instead of sleeping?"


    "How do I get out?"


    After clearing up, he grabbed onto the back of Yu Sheng''s neck and walked to the door. After that, he threw him out and closed the door.


    In the courtyard, Yu Sheng''s "Ao" sound could be heard as another door opened. A moment later, it closed again.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, stood up. He was wearing only a shirt as he sat at the round table.


    She took out the letter she had hidden, then listed out the names she had written on the paper.


    Su Bai walked over to the table and looked at the letter carefully. He then looked at the names again.


    His beautiful brows slightly knit as he asked, "Could it be that it has nothing to do with the Emperor?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Qing Shui. Why didn''t this little brother of his hurry up and wash his brother clean? He actually suspected the Emperor just like her.


    However, she felt an indescribable happiness in her heart. Her finger slightly traced across the letter, and the faint smile on her face betrayed her current state of mind.


    He shook his head and said, "Great Sima has always been a cautious and conservative person. How could he take the letter with the symbol of his residence and write such a letter to someone else?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head, "Yes, no one would use something with such an obvious mark to collude with him."


    He put down the letter and pointed at Xiao Hu, who was lying on the table. "I''ve already had someone investigate this in the barracks. This person didn''t come back from the sky. They also reported him missing."


    "I don''t believe that Xiao Hu is dead. He has already killed Qiao Ruoyin as many people wished, so he must be hiding somewhere right now. He will wait for this storm to die down, then come out and change his name and live."


    Qing Qing smiled, touched her nose, and thoughtfully said, "Xiao Hu still has a sister-in-law in his family, and a nephew. The money he earns is all given to them."


    Qiao Liangjin also clicked on Xiao Hu''s name and asked, "What do you mean ¡­"


    "The secret guard sent me some news. He said that Xiao Hu has been together with this sister-in-law for a long time and that this child is also Xiao Hu''s child." So I''ve been looking for people to spy on them. "


    "Actually, what I''m most worried about is that someone already killed Xiao Hu and silenced him. If it were me who did this, I believe that only those who are dead would not reveal this secret." Qiao Liangjin''s tone was a bit sinister and filled with determination.


    A clear and appreciative gaze swept across Qiao Liangjin''s face. She was truly a witty woman.


    "But what if Xiao Hu said he wrote this secret somewhere else? What if his sister-in-law does not see Xiao Hu and then spread the news? "


    "Then kill them all." Qiao Liangjin gently touched his fist. She was using the thought of using Xiao Hu to kill Qiao Ruo Ying.


    Xiao Hu''s sister-in-law and son were still alive, which meant that even if they killed his entire family, they wouldn''t be able to find out about this secret. Thus, they would finally spread the news.


    That meant that this secret was in the hands of someone very important. If Xiao Hu''s entire family died, then this secret would be exposed.


    Qiao Liangjin gritted his teeth and raised his head to look at her face. He asked seriously: "Can you help me with one thing?"


    Su Qingqing spread out her palms, looking like she was extremely willing to serve you. She smiled and said, "Of course."


    When the sky was about to brighten, the door finally opened. He walked out of the room full of energy and turned his head to wave goodbye.


    Qiao Liangjin closed the door.

 C65 Brother Nan Tu

    Qiao Liangjin fell into a deep sleep. When the fragrance of food came from outside, it attracted the gluttony in her stomach out.


    He closed his eyes and heard Nan Li''s voice in the courtyard.


    This fellow''s culinary skills seemed to be on par with Xiao Rong''s. He opened his eyes with difficulty and sat up, stretching lazily. He then touched the side of his pillow and remembered that he had thrown the little fox out last night.


    He casually put on a green robe, tied his long hair behind his head, washed his face, then pushed the door open.


    Nan Li smiled as he held the two plates and looked at Qiao Liangjin. He greeted, "You were drunk last night, right?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and asked, "Ziyan, why is he here again?"


    Zi Yan helplessly shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.


    On the other hand, Yu Sheng was overjoyed. He sat down at the table and waved his hands. "Come quickly and eat. It''s so fragrant."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled up his sleeves and sat at the table. He looked at the dishes on the table as if they were her favorite.


    Nan Li put down the plate in his hand and sat in front of Qiao Liangjin. His face was already full of smiles. "It''s really delicious. Try it."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his chopsticks and savored the taste of the Salt Cake Chicken. Indeed, it was authentic. She frowned and asked, "Did you become depressed after being ignored and then cook every day?"


    Nan Li sighed and also raised his chopsticks and tasted his own chicken. He smiled and said, "Qiao Liangjin, you really know how to poke a sore spot, do you know?"


    "Why are you making so much of my favorite food? For what purpose? You want to use delicious food to seduce my little fox? "


    Nan Li''s smile was very deep. Smiling, he suddenly said, "There''s no need now. I''ve already thought it through. As long as I marry you, this little fox will be mine." Is that right? "


    Everyone at the table stopped their chopsticks and looked at the complacent Nan Li with their mouths agape.


    Yuesheng raised her hand to rub Nan Li''s forehead and said with certainty, "This person does not have a fever."


    Qiao Liangjin put down his chopsticks and frowned. "Can''t you let me have a good meal?"


    Zi Yan secretly smiled.


    A''Bai, on the other hand, had an expressionless face. He raised his chopsticks and pointed to a dish on the table. "Eat first. We''ll talk about other things later."


    After Qiao Liangjin finished his meal, he wiped his mouth and led Yu Sheng and Bai out the door.


    At this moment, Yuesheng had returned the image of a silver fox, which Qiao Liangjin had placed on her shoulder.


    Two people and a fox, arrogantly walked through the market.


    Sometimes, when Yuesheng saw people, she would even show her teeth to scare them away.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the group of people walking around him with satisfaction, and said to Bai while shaking his head: "Bai, did you know? This is the life that I wanted to live the most. During the day, I brought my lackeys around the streets to attract attention. At night, I carried my sister in my arms ¡­ "


    Xiao Bai looked slightly embarrassed as he coughed lightly. This female master of his was really unrelenting in not giving up her words.


    Sitting in the teahouse, listening to the storyteller''s story, and listening to the others gossip about the story of Sheng Cheng City.


    It was all useless.


    Qiao Liangjin leisurely drank his hot tea and spent the afternoon.


    Suddenly, a shadow flashed at the door and a green shadow sat across from Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned unhappily, "Why are you everywhere?"


    Nan Li quickly lowered his head and looked outside sneakily. He shook his index finger desperately, telling Qiao Liangjin not to speak.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows. ''Yo, what''s going on? It seems like someone is chasing after me. It seems like I''m scared of this person.


    Just when Qiao Liangjin''s gaze was directed towards the door, a tender yellow figure rushed into the teahouse and grabbed onto Nan Li''s ear. The sound of tinkling metal could be heard from all over his body.


    "Run! Keep running! Let''s see where you can run to now!" "Come back with me." The soft yellow voice was pleasant to the ears, like an oriole.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled as he looked at the despairing face of Nan Li. He spread his hands, indicating that he did not say anything.


    The yellow figure seemed to realize that someone else was sitting at the table.


    She carefully sized up the azure-robed man before her.


    Handsome and handsome, fresh and clean, mm ¡­ Not a man.


    The delicate face of the girl slightly raised, she raised her chin towards Qiao Liangjin and asked: "Hey, where did you come from?"


    "I''m right here." Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly.


    She suddenly recalled that in Jin Yong''s novels, there seemed to be a girl with bells all over her body. The girl in Jin Yong''s novel was exactly the same as this woman.


    A noble birth, a proud personality, if he did not guess wrongly, this little sister of his was either Nan Li''s fiancee in the Southern Kingdom, Nangong or Nan Li.


    The girl in the yellow dress took out an exquisite silver white chain from her sleeve and tied one end to Nan Li''s wrist, while the other end to her waist.


    He sat on a nearby stool and poured himself a cup of tea without saying anything.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the yellow-dressed lady gratefully and said: "Benefactor, is there anything you would like to eat? I''ll treat you. "


    The woman frowned and looked at Qiao Liangjin, then pointed at her nose and asked: "Me? Your benefactor? "


    Nan Li groaned in pain as he looked at Qiao Liangjin bitterly and asked: "Are you that unwilling to see me?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled as he looked at the extremely painful expression on Nan Li''s face, nodding his head with absolute certainty.


    The woman started laughing out loud as the bells all over her body started to vibrate.


    "Princess Nangong?" Qiao Liangjin asked.


    The woman stopped laughing and looked at Qiao Liangjin in surprise. "How do you know who I am?"


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and made a gesture of ''please'', then said with a smile, "Come, come, let''s go have dinner at the Fragrant Sky Tower."


    Nangong did not shirk away. He straightforwardly pulled Nan Li and Qiao Lianjin towards the most famous place in the city, the Fragrant Sky Tower.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had entered the room, sat down and smiled: "Princess Nangong had a hard time finding the Sixth Prince. I am very grateful to you for immediately leaving and taking him away."


    Nangong looked doubtfully at the girl before him and then looked at his brother.


    No matter what, South Li was an elegant and elegant Sixth Prince. Why did it seem like this woman didn''t like her big brother at all? Moreover, from the looks of things, it seemed as if her big brother was pestering this woman.


    Nan Li sat on the side in distress and kept sighing. However, Nangong seemed to ignore him and asked while tilting his head, "My brother is the Sixth Prince of the Southern Kingdom after all. He is also as rich as a nation. Why do you seem like you are sending off a god of pests?"


    "Who he is has nothing to do with me." Qiao Liangjin shrugged his shoulders.


    The little fox was squatting on a small stool at the side, nodding its head with all its might. That''s right, our master is that proud.


    At this moment, Nangong seemed to have discovered this little fox. After staring at it for a moment, Yu Sheng quickly jumped into Qiao Liangjin''s embrace and bared his teeth.


    Nangong pointed at the little fox and asked, "Brother, it can''t be because of this little fox spirit ¡­"


    Nan Li nodded.


    Only then did Nangong come to a sudden realization. He undid the iron chains on Nan Li''s wrist and smiled, "Then I understand why you are here. Big brother, go and snatch this fox back home."


    Qiao Liangjin was flabbergasted. What was going on? So this little sister and brother actually had the same meaning.


    What the heck? He was still thinking about his little fox.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face sank and he placed the little fox on his shoulder. With an unhappy tone, he said, "Princess Minamiya, please clear this up. This is my thing, my thing. No one is allowed to take it away from me."


    Nangong snorted disdainfully and said, "I did rob you, so what can you do about it?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a white light flash before her eyes and a dagger appeared horizontally in front of her.


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice was even colder than the temperature of the dagger, "I never accept threats, and I don''t like being threatened. If you ask me, if you take it, what will I do to you? That''s the answer. "


    Nangong''s expression changed drastically, but he bit his lips and refused to lower his head. "Then if you have the ability to kill me, kill me! If you do, my brother will kill you to avenge me! Our Southern Kingdom will trample over your Xuanyuan Kingdom! Come, if you have the ability, cut my neck!"


    Qiao Liangjin''s dagger did not even think as he used his strength to stab Nangong''s neck.


    Nan Li''s hand grabbed the dagger and it sliced open his palm. Blood immediately flowed out. It dripped onto Nangong''s neck and clothes.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes turned slightly cold as he looked at Nan Li''s hand.


    Nan Li smiled bitterly. "Consider it as giving me face. Let her go."


    When Nan Li saw the dagger in his hand, Nan Gong screamed: "You crazy woman, you really want to kill me."


    Nan Li shouted angrily, "Shut up!"


    Qiao Liangjin loosened his grip and picked up the wet handkerchief from the table. He then gently wiped away the blood on his palm.


    Nan Li placed the dagger on the table. Nangong quickly took out his handkerchief and tied it around Nan Li''s hand.


    Qiao Liangjin sat down quietly and hugged the little fox on the table again. He poured himself another cup of tea and said leisurely: "I hate people who threaten me the most."


    After he finished speaking, he looked coldly at Nangong.


    With just one look, Nangong believed that she was really going to kill him. His entire body felt ice-cold.


    After casually placing a silver ingot on the table, Qiao Liangjin stood up and said coldly: "Goodbye, you guys can enjoy yourselves."


    With that said, he carried the fox out of the private room.


    A''Bai was standing at the door waiting for Qiao Liangjin. When he saw her go out, he followed her down the stairs.


    It was almost dusk. Qiao Liangjin stood at the door looking at the setting sun and said softly, "Let''s go back."


    When they returned to the courtyard, Zi Yan had already prepared dinner. She was a little curious about why that fart, Nan Li, didn''t follow them.


    Qiao Liangjin told Ziyan about what happened at the Fragrant Sky Tower.


    Zi Yan sighed. "Miss, it''s good that you''re not hurt."


    Qiao Liangjin felt that his heart was not at ease the entire time. He could not tell whether it was because of Nangong''s sharp personality or because of his actions.


    Shaking his head, he tried to throw the scream out of his mind. Why do I keep feeling like I did something wrong? Feeling unhappy, Qiao Liangjin returned to his room.

 C66 Mountain Catch

    He picked up the quill and scribbled on the paper for a long time. He seemed to hear someone coming from the next yard and heard the tinkling sound again.


    Qiao Liangjin tore the paper on the table into pieces.


    The sky was getting darker, and Qiao Liangjin decided to go for a walk. Today, when he was strolling around the city, he saw a small hillside. There was wind and moon and flowers, which was a good place to think.


    Carrying the small wine jug in his hand, he leapt up onto the wall.


    He did not know what had happened the night he left the fire. His qinggong was getting better and better, and the true qi within his body was becoming richer and richer. The wall that he had to climb only required two or three steps to climb.


    When she reached the small hill she had seen during the day, she lay down on the grass. Looking at the crescent moon, she felt better.


    A voice sounded from her right: "What''s wrong? It seems very dull. "


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and leaned on his elbow to support his head. He looked like a peerless beauty. He smiled and said, "Why aren''t you wearing that sultry red dress today, why are you wearing this pure white?"


    Su Yun looked at the moon-white robe on his body. It had a simple style, only there were some gold embroidery at the sleeves and the corners. He smiled slightly and said, "Why do you have so many words? I''ve never even heard of it. "


    "Learn more." For some inexplicable reason, Qiao Liangjin felt that his mood had started to improve.


    Her clear jaw slightly lifted as she smiled and said, "Yes, I will study more. What? I heard that Nangong came today. Also, you almost killed her?"


    Qiao Liangjin crossed his legs and said disdainfully: "She threatened me. As a person, the thing that I hate the most is to be threatened."


    Her clean hands gently brushed away the hair on her face as she looked at the girl before her with a smile.


    Qiao Liangjin narrated what had happened today one by one. After he finished, he realized that he seemed to have a lot of things to say. This was something that had never happened before.


    Su Qing blinked and smiled, "No matter what, she was wrong. It is understandable that you killed her. If the Southern Kingdom really wants to start a war, I will accompany you."


    Qiao Liangjin sucked in a breath of cold air. Did this man know what he was saying? Because of his unwillingness to be threatened, he actually thought that it was nothing to cause a war between two countries.


    Did he make a mistake? He doted on a lady to such an extent?


    Qiao Liangjin also learned to clear his eyes. He raised his hand to rub Su Qingqing''s forehead and mumbled, "You can''t be crazy, right? Why do you still support me to be crazy?"


    Qing Shui took the opportunity to hold Qiao Liangjin''s hand and lightly kissed the back of her hand. He was afraid that if he spoke a bit louder, he would shock her and said, "How could that be? There is a reason for everything you do here."


    She looked at Qiao Liangjin with clear emotions, causing goosebumps to appear all over her body.


    Before he could take his hand back, he heard the sound of a bell. A charming girl''s voice sounded out, "Big brother, look. This is the girl you like. She''s actually having a private meeting with another man here."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and sat up with Su Qian.


    Not far away, Nangong who had a lantern lit pulled the ashen-faced Nan Li.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his hand and greeted, "Hi, good evening."


    Nangong seemed to want Nan Li to see the man with Qiao Liangjin clearly. He pulled Nan Li closer to Qiao Liangjin.


    With just a glance, she froze on the spot.


    Her features were picturesque, her skin as white as snow, and her appearance was perfect. This was the first time she had seen such an exquisite and beautiful man in her entire life.


    "You ¡­ "Who are you ¡­" Nangong''s voice stuttered.


    Nan Li''s low and deep voice clearly entered Nangong''s ears, "Seventh Prince, I have heard a lot about you."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Nangong''s soulless appearance and tilted his head to look at her. Was it that exaggerated? It was just that his eyes were a bit brighter than the others'', his height was a bit taller, his figure was a bit more symmetrical than others, and his clothes were better than others'' ¡­


    Qiao Liangjin lightly knocked on his head. He really did not know what was going through his mind.


    Her clear and melodious voice was as graceful as his own. It sounded as if it came from heaven as she said, "Sixth Prince Nanli, please accept my offer."


    It was only then that Nangong retracted his consciousness. So this was the Seventh Prince who was rumored to be unrivalled in the world of the five continents.


    She felt as if her heart was beating even faster than usual. She knew that in this second, she had fallen in love with clearing up.


    Nangong pulled Nan Li''s sleeve and whispered into his ear, "Big brother, you like that girl. If you marry her, I''ll help you. I want this Seventh Prince to help me. How about it?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s hearing was already very good due to the increase in his inner force. When he heard Nangong''s suggestion, he looked up at the sky speechlessly.


    She pulled Qiao Liangjin''s hand and helped her up from the grass. She gently patted the dust that wasn''t there and said softly, "It''s getting late, time to rest. I''ll take you back."


    Nangong sneered and stood in front of the two of them. He said in a somewhat sharp voice, "Men and women shouldn''t be able to endure such treatment. Your highness, please behave yourself. This woman is simply not worthy of you."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked coldly at Nangong. She didn''t know why she had offended this woman. Initially, she had thought that with her character, she might be able to become good friends with this woman. However, her character was too overbearing.


    After being coldly stared at by Qiao Liangjin, Nangong suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He drew back his neck and took two steps back.


    Seeing that Nangong was a little afraid of Qiao Liangjin, she smiled faintly and hugged Qiao Liangjin''s waist. "Sixth Prince, take care of your little sister. This duke is bringing along his wangfei to listen to the wind and gaze at the moon. It doesn''t affect anyone."


    Nan Li lowered his head as if he had been thinking about something. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "Miss Qiao, the person who helped you at the bottom of the cliff that day was the Seventh Prince, right?"


    Qiao Liangjin revealed an obvious expression.


    Nan Li laughed heartily as he pulled Nangong out of the way and said, "I know."


    Nan Gong became a little anxious and looked at the figure that was leaving with Qiao Liangjin in his arms. He stomped his feet and asked: "Why didn''t you break them apart?"


    Nan Li looked calmly at the back of the two as they left. He said softly, "Qiao Liangjin is the daughter of Prime Minister Qiao from Xuanyuan Kingdom. Nangong, there are some matters that cannot be rushed."


    After seeing Qiao Liangjin off to his room, Su Chen was a little worried, so he asked the four guards to sit in the yard and watch over him.


    Qiao Liangjin woke up in the middle of the night and went to the toilet. The moment he went out, he was startled by the four figures standing upright in front of him. Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and cursed, "Those who don''t know, think that I have zombies in my yard, crazy."


    The four of them were scolded by Qiao Liangjin for being crazy, so they could only silently stand next to him.


    Sure enough, with four Iron Tower guards, Qiao Liangjin was not woken up by the siblings next door. He had a very good night''s sleep.


    After breakfast, Qiao Liangjin started to make yoga at the door.


    Two people''s heads appeared on top of the wall. The woman''s voice was filled with dissatisfaction as she said, "Look at this woman. She is too disobedient. Making such a gesture is simply the wrath of humans and gods."


    The man''s voice was inexplicably happy. "I think it''s very good. Look at this flexibility. I don''t think you''ll ever have it, no matter how young you are."


    "Hmph, you will extinguish your own willpower and give others face."


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to be unable to hear the conversation between the two men on the wall. He waited until all the movements were completed before wiping his sweat and asking Zi Yan, "How long have we been in Shengcheng?"


    Zi Yan quickly replied, "It''s already been five days."


    Qiao Liangjin repeated in a muffled voice, "It''s been five days."


    Today it was time to ask how things were going.


    Qiao Liangjin casually changed into a man''s outfit and brought Bai out of the door. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and picked up the fox who was sleeping soundly.


    The ancient saying said, "One shouldn''t be afraid of thieves stealing, one should be afraid of thieves missing out on something."


    Just as he walked out of the alley, he saw a few burly men charging towards him with gloomy expressions.


    Qiao Liangjin dodged a few people and looked at their backs. He frowned slightly.


    Something was not right, these people had such a strong killing intent. Thinking that there was only Zi Yan left in the yard, she turned around and returned to the yard.


    Zi Yan was in the middle of embroidering flowers in the courtyard when she heard a muffled sound of someone hitting the wall from the yard next door.


    Qiao Liangjin leapt onto the wall and saw that the few men who had just brushed past him had already fallen to the ground.


    Nan Li was wiping the sword in his hand.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin looking at him from the wall, he smiled and said: "Don''t scare you."


    Nangong kicked the corpse on the ground in dissatisfaction. He frowned and asked, "Why are all of third brother''s guards here?"


    After saying that, he took out a bottle from his sleeve and sprinkled some powder on their wounds.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows raised in surprise. Was this the legendary Corpse Dissolving Powder? [I really must be able to walk around the Jianghu [1].


    Seeing that the two of them were able to deal with this kind of assassin with ease, she jumped off the wall and carried the little fox towards the general''s manor.


    Arriving at the general''s manor, he saw Qiao Liangjin''s guards that night and hurriedly led Qiao Liangjin into the manor.


    At this moment, General Wu Wu was sitting with Su Qing in the pavilion playing chess.


    Hearing that Qiao Liangjin had arrived, the mighty general was a little surprised. Looking at the man dressed in the same attire as Qiao Liangjin, he asked, "Why are you still here?"


    Qiao Liangjin had already paid his respects to this general''s eighteen generations of ancestors. When she thought about how she was almost burned up in his study that day, she felt extremely unhappy.


    However, she still had a gentle smile on her face. "Sorry to bother you, General. My daughter is here to see the Seventh Prince."


    He pointed to the stool beside him and smiled, "Come, Jin''er, sit down and play a game of chess with your husband."


    The smile on Qiao Liangjin''s face stiffened. The way this man climbed was actually on par with that Nan Li.


    General Wu laughed heartily and said, "I''ve long heard that His Majesty''s decree has already been passed down. He''s already betrothed the young lady of the Qiao family to the Seventh Prince. Look at the situation, Seventh Prince, when will he be able to drink the wedding wine?"


    The corners of his eyes were filled with joy as he replied, "Naturally, it will be very quick. As long as the matter at the border is resolved, this king will invite the general back to drink the wedding wine."


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t know what these two were going to say. He could only shut his mouth and listen to their nonsense.


    From Qiao Liangjin''s point of view, this was all nonsense. When had he ever said that he was going to marry him? From the very beginning, it was all his wishful thinking, and he was too lazy to explain himself.

 C67 Garden Plot

    The two of them played chess leisurely. Qiao Liangjin, who could not understand a single piece of chess, had already yawned five times and drank three pots of tea. Finally, the two of them finished playing.


    She got up and held Qiao Liangjin''s hand. She bid farewell to General Wu and said, "General, I brought my beloved wife around your garden. Would General mind?"


    The mighty general waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "Your highness and wangfei are both honored and deeply honored to be under my wing!"


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his chin slightly. Then, he walked towards the garden together with Qing Shui.


    When he reached the lotus pond, he cleared his footsteps, lowered his head, and stared at the reflection in the water with his hands behind his back.


    Qiao Liangjin was standing not far from where he was standing. He raised his head and looked at the cotton-like clouds in the sky, and then looked at the city gate tower not far away.


    Qing Qing turned her body to the side and asked, "Why didn''t you come with me to look at the Golden Carp?"


    Qiao Liangjin slowly moved over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Qing. He looked at the Golden Carp swimming back and forth in the water and muttered to himself, "I wonder if I can eat it ¡­"


    It was clear that Su Chen had heard those words clearly. His lips formed a very good curve as he said with a faint smile, "Why don''t we capture a few and try roasting them?"


    "Huh?" Are you sure you aren''t mistaken? He had heard that there was someone who could pamper his wife into the heavens, but for a living person to be so obedient, other than the Ning Seal, that was probably the only way to purge her.


    Thinking of Ning Xi, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt like he was in a hurry to leave the Prime Minister''s Palace. If he didn''t notify him, could he have gone looking for him?


    He suddenly asked after sensing her absent-mindedness, "Are you thinking about Prince Ning?"


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes dumbly and asked in disbelief: "How did you know?"


    The corner of his mouth slightly widened. The Southern Kingdom did not have a single person capable of saving oil.


    A clear palm gently brushed Qiao Liangjin''s face, the warm palm touched her eyebrows, eyelashes, and the tip of her nose.


    He didn''t know how to answer her question. His senses told him that on that long day when they passed through the long waterway, her heart must have secretly handed to him. However, he still cared about the impression Ning Xuemo left in her heart.


    In her heart, she could not lie to herself. She knew that she had always said that clearing her heart was useless and useless, but she could not help but admit that in her heart, this handsome and extraordinary man had already quietly moved into his dwelling.


    "When are you returning to the capital?" Sensing that Su Chen did not want to answer his question, Qiao Liangjin changed the topic.


    "I''m going back tomorrow. What about you?" He cleared his throat and replied softly.


    "Ten days later, we will set out on our journey back to the city. "I am now certain that my father has long since discovered that I am no longer in the Prime Minister''s Estate."


    She lowered her head to look at the Golden Carp in the water and suddenly squatted down. Her hands were as fast as lightning as she dived into the water. When she stood up, a plump Golden Carp was already in her hands.


    Qiao Liangjin was dumbstruck as he looked at Su Qingqing.


    After clearing up, he threw the fish in his hand to a guard not too far behind him. "Go to the kitchen and cook it well. Bring it to the pavilion later."


    The guard quickly carried the live and lively Carp to the kitchen.


    Qiao Liangjin lightly coughed, and with a helpless tone, he said: "Next time, what would happen? I don''t dare to tell you, but what would you do if I told you that a woman''s blood can retain her looks?"


    He cleared his long eyebrows with a serious expression on his face.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said, "That is a female Count''s hobby, not mine, not mine. I was just casually saying."


    "So what if you like it?"


    Qiao Liangjin was once again flabbergasted when he heard those words.


    Did he get it wrong? He was simply looking down on human life, so it didn''t matter to him.


    Qiao Liangjin''s entire body shivered as he recalled the smell of his own body being soaked in human blood. He then continued to wave his hands and said, "Disgusting, disgusting. I won''t do that."


    Su Qing suddenly pulled Qiao Liangjin''s hand, held her shoulder, and smiled at the reflection in the water: "Jin''er, look at our reflection. Isn''t that a good idea? "


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly pulled out his hand from her grasp and jumped behind with a vigilant look on his face. "Why are you so numb today? I can''t take it anymore."


    Not far away, Yu Sheng, who was still basking in the sun, shuddered.


    Qiao Liangjin simply sat on a flat rock by the shore, picked it up, and threw it into the pond.


    Su Qing also sat beside her and said in a small voice, "I''ve already sent people to abduct Xiao Hu''s sister-in-law and children. We''ve already let the news out. We can wait for tonight''s internet cafe."


    Joy flashed across Qiao Liangjin''s eyes as he nodded his head.


    She knew that it was inconvenient for her to speak here. Even if her voice were a bit louder, it might just be heard by others.


    Clearing his eyes with a smile, he continued to speak in a low voice, "Tonight, you and I will guard here. How about it?"


    Today, there was an extra dish in General Wu''s mansion, the Red Braised Carp.


    It made General Wu''s heart ache for a long time. He had spent a lot of effort to find this best golden carp from the Southern Kingdom. In the end, it had become a delicacy within the stomach of this woman before him, causing his heart to ache.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and sighed as he ate the Golden Carp. Indeed, the food in the pond was not as delicious as that of the wild. The earthy smell was too strong.


    So what if Qiao Liangjin eats it? He even commented on it: "Today, this golden carp in the General''s Estate is truly horrible. To be honest, I don''t want to eat it anymore. "General, get me some water, the fish from the water is delicious."


    The corner of General Wei''s eyes twitched, but he pretended to be magnanimous as he said, "Alright, alright, alright. Miss Qiao''s words are correct."


    Qing Shui quietly picked up another plate of fish and placed it on her plate. He said softly, "This is a fish from the living water. I instructed the kitchen to make another one. You can try it."


    Qiao Liangjin also raised his chopsticks naturally and began to eat.


    As the two ate, they commented on the chef''s cooking skills.


    The mighty general suddenly felt that he was unnecessary, but this was his own mansion, why did he have to go there?


    Seeing that General Wei had not used his chopsticks, he raised his head and smiled. "What''s wrong, is the general full?"


    The mighty general immediately raised his glass and explained, "I am old and can''t eat much anymore. "I''ll have to ask the Seventh Marquis and Seventh Princess to continue eating. I''ll go to the study to practice my writing first."


    He finished the cup in one gulp, cupped his hands, and left the pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the valiant general''s back and softly asked: "Which segment will he take?"


    Qing Qing stuffed the fish into Qiao Liangjin''s mouth and said with a smile, "I would also like to know that. I''ll probably know it all by tonight."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and unknowingly opened his mouth, accepting the clean food.


    Suddenly realizing that something was not right, the smile on her face that had been cleared was so warm that it was almost melting, she hurriedly waved her hands and raised her chopsticks to dance.


    She didn''t know what to feel even after eating the entire meal, but she had been anxiously waiting for the truth to come out.


    After dinner, he leisurely fed the beef jerky that Yu Sheng had prepared. Soon, he felt bored and insisted on pulling Qiao Liangjin along to teach her chess.


    Qiao Liangjin was absent-minded as he played two rounds of chess. He lost miserably and in his rage, he almost threw the chess board to the ground. However, he saw Su Chen smiling as he said: "Pay attention to your attitude and attitude."


    Qiao Liangjin was not angry, instead, he smiled. He crooked his finger, and moved his head close to Su Moyu''s ear, whispering: "How about we play a game where you take a big risk?"


    Su Qingyun cleared his eyebrows and smiled, "Tell me, how do you want to play?"


    Slashing your fist, whoever loses will have to listen to them. Honest words are what others ask you, and you have to answer them truthfully.


    Su Qing slightly nodded her head and said, "Let''s swing our fists then."


    Qiao Liangjin immediately rolled up his sleeves, shook his fist and laughed: "Come on, I''ll let you tell me all your little secrets."


    Su Qing also rolled up his sleeves and smiled. "How do you plan on slashing your fist?"


    "¡­"


    "What''s wrong? Look at your expression... It can''t be that you don''t know either, right? " The smile on his face deepened.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed dryly, "Hur Hur, then we can cut stone cloth."


    Her clear brows and eyes were all smiling as she nodded. "Alright."


    Qiao Liangjin then stretched out his hand and told him what scissors were, what stones were, what cloth was, and which kind of paper was a ''gram''.


    He cleared his mind and only said it once before he understood what it meant.


    "Rock scissor cloth, ha, I won. Again, two losses in three rounds, you have to listen to me."


    "Alright."


    "Haha, I''ve won again. Then, let me ask you. How high are your martial arts skills?"


    "It''s so-so. Protecting you is enough."


    "..." It''s like there''s no answer. "


    "But that''s my answer."


    "Forget it, come again."


    "..."


    They had won the second round.


    Su Qingqing''s smile was still as relaxed as it was before, and she waved her scissors towards Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose and pouted as he said: "I''m willing to admit defeat, I lost. Ask away."


    Su Yun was about to speak, but he suddenly stood up and pulled Qiao Lianjin away, rushing out of the pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin knew that Xiao Hu must be here to seek revenge, so he took the opportunity to grab her hand.


    After flying past the small courtyard wall, in the next second, he was standing in front of Lee Yanyi''s door.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qing Shui silently. Qing Qing then gently pushed open the door to Li''s room.


    A black shadow was standing beside the bed with his back facing the door, holding a shiny dagger in his hand.


    With just a wave of his sleeve, the candle on the table lit up.


    The black shadow suddenly turned around, and without thinking, it chopped forward with its blade.


    Qiao Liangjin was holding the chess piece he had used when he was playing chess. He swung his hand, and the chess piece struck the forehead of the black shadow with lightning speed. Blood splashed everywhere as the black shadow''s head fell heavily to the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin''s foot landed on the hand of the black shadow that was holding the dagger. After a few heavy crushing sounds, the hand could no longer bear the pain and released the dagger. She then followed up by kicking the dagger away.


    He cleared the black figure''s collar that had collapsed on the ground and gently lifted it up. His long eyebrows furrowed as he said, "Xiao Hu."

 C68 Semi White of Truth

    The black shadow actually laughed, and its face was covered in blood.


    "Even though I know this is a trap, I still want to come and kill this bastard." Xiao Hu turned his head to look at the bed, unwilling to give up.


    Su Chen shook his head slightly and released the black shadow. He softly said, "The first name Li is not here."


    "Even if I become a ghost, I won''t let him go."


    "The one who arranged to kill Qiao Ruo Ying was Li Zhenyi?" Qiao Liangjin stepped forward and asked.


    Xiao Hu ruthlessly wiped away the blood that dripped from his forehead. The blood had already blurred his vision.


    "Yes." Xiao Hu replied fiercely.


    The guard pulled out the chair and placed it behind Su Chen''s back. Su Qing then calmly sat down on the stool and lightly tapped the table with one hand. After a while, he asked, "Do you want to meet Li Word first?"


    Xiao Hu''s breathing quickened as he nodded his head.


    Su Yun clapped his hands, and the two guards entered the room while suppressing the charred and unhealed General Li, followed by General Wu.


    He cleared the tea and took two sips, then pointed to the one beside him and said to Qiao Liangjin, "My beloved concubine, take a seat."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at the sky and sat down obediently on a stool.


    Su Su Su Qing smiled at General Wu and said, "General, sorry to trouble you."


    When the mighty general saw Xiao Hu, his face instantly turned pale.


    When Xiao Hu saw Li Wen Chi, his eyes turned red. He roared angrily and was prepared to pounce at Li Wen Li: "Li Wen Tian! Pay back the lives of my wife and children! "


    When he heard Xiao Hu''s voice, his entire body trembled. Under the tight bandages, two terrified eyes were revealed.


    Xiao Hu stood up and was about to pounce towards Li `er, but he was stopped by the guard on the spot.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the unhurried manner in which he had cleared his mind and sighed in his heart. How could this person not be anxious?


    He pointed to the armchair across from him and said, "Old General, you''re old. Sit and listen to the story of these two."


    The mighty general''s footsteps were somewhat unsteady as he walked to the side of the armchair and sat down heavily, gasping for breath.


    Clearing his head that was filled with smiles, he nodded at the mighty general and said, "Xiao Hu, speak. This king will uphold justice for you."


    "Qiao Ruo Ying and I joined the army together from Shengcheng City, so I guess we have the best relationship in the entire army camp. One day, this Lee character came to me and said that he wanted to talk to me, so I was brought to the study room of the general''s mansion. "


    Qiao Liangjin quietly sat at the side. At this moment, she was no longer in a hurry. What should not have come had already arrived.


    "In the study room, there is a man wearing a golden mask. He told me to take Qiao Ruo Ying to the heavens and poison his food. Then, he gave me a bag of powder. I then placed the powder in the bread he brought."


    "On the second day, Li Can will let me and Qiao Ruo Ying go together. I watched as the poisoning was too painful, so I pushed him down the cliff ¡­ At this moment, boulders rolled down the mountain again. I knew in my heart that this wasn''t just killing Qiao Ruo Ying, but also telling me to shut up. "


    "I escaped back home and told everything to my sister-in-law. She was the daughter of an Elementary Scholar, so she wrote down what I said and gave it to someone else ¡­"


    "Li Zhendi, you are so vicious, you killed my wife and children!" I will never let you off! " At this point, Xiao Hu''s eyes turned red, and he wanted to pounce on Li.


    The finger that had cleared the air flicked slightly, causing Xiao Hu to stop in his tracks.


    Su Qian looked at Li Yin who was being supported by the guards and chuckled. "I wonder if Li Can has anything to say?"


    He heavily knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he said, "This little one has nothing to say, but Xiao Hu, I have never sent anyone to kill your wife and children."


    His clean fingers knocked on the table. He looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked, "Jin''er, is there anything you would like to know?"


    "Who is that golden mask?" Qiao Liangjin asked straightforwardly.


    Lee Yemao shook his head.


    "Do you not know, or can''t you tell?" Qiao Liangjin asked.


    "I don''t know who it was, I only know that someone told me to go find Xiao Hu, so I went to find him."


    Qiao Liangjin propped his chin up with both hands and asked with some interest: "Li Yiping, since you''ve actually already reached this stage, can you answer all of my questions?"


    His body faltered for a moment before it softened. He sat down on the ground and said respectfully, "This little one only hopes that wangfei can give me a quick death."


    Qiao Liangjin replied with a smile, "Of course. After all, I was at the fire because of your gift."


    When he thought about the pain of his body being burned by the fire, Li Yiran''s body seemed to begin to feel pain. His body trembled as he kowtowed and said, "Please ask, Princess."


    "Why do you come and go freely in this mighty general''s manor? Why do I feel that mighty general is not mighty general, but your puppet?"


    As soon as his voice fell, both Lee word first and General mightn''t have known what he was talking about.


    At this moment, Su Mucheng couldn''t help but applaud as he looked at Qiao Liangjin with admiration.


    However, Qiao Liangjin did not look proud at all and continued to ask: "Was it because that man with the golden mask arranged all this? Could it be ¡­ The one with the golden mask is from the East? "


    The mighty general was no longer able to sit still. He could not stop wiping the sweat off his forehead.


    Qiao Liangjin also knocked on the table lightly and smiled: "General Wei, who are you? I''m really curious, where did the real mighty general go? "


    In that instant, a sword light shot straight towards Qiao Liangjin''s throat. It seemed like Qiao Liangjin could not dodge in time and was about to stab into her throat, but there was the clear sound of a broken sword. The blade shattered into countless pieces and fell onto the table.


    Qiao Liangjin covered his nose, coughed twice, fanned himself and said: "Really, why does everyone seem to like this, knowing that you can''t do it yet."


    He looked over and saw that his clean palm had pierced into General Wu''s chest.


    Su Qing slowly pulled out her hand and tore off her sleeve that was stained with blood in disgust. She threw it on the body of General Wei, who was still trembling as he laid on the ground. The guard quickly brought the clear water and the pancreas over, and he cleaned his hands gracefully.


    After cleaning up and doing all these things, Qiao Liangjin felt that there was no difference between killing and dancing.


    Clearing the mess with his head, he looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked with a smile: What''s wrong? Isn''t it a little bloody? "


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and walked over to General Wei''s corpse. He squatted down and touched behind his ears. Then, he tore open the door and an unfamiliar ashen face appeared in front of the two of them.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and kicked the corpse and asked, "General Li Can, who is this person?"


    But Li Zhendi only shook his head and didn''t answer.


    He wiped his hands clean and said, "There''s no need to ask him, he doesn''t know who that person is either. But the double of the mighty general, this line can''t be broken, just leave Lee''s first dog life."


    Li Zhenyi kowtowed again and again.


    Xiao Hu, who was at the side, almost popped out his eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin walked to Xiao Hu''s side and whispered in his ear, "This crime cannot be committed against your family. I will let your wife and children go, but you must die."


    He didn''t know when, but a dagger had already appeared in his hand. With a gentle wave of the dagger, it entered Xiao Hu''s body.


    When Xiao Hu heard Qiao Liangjin''s words, a look of pleasant surprise flashed across his eyes. He knew that his wife and children were fine, but he seemed to be relieved and slowly moved to the side.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled out the dagger, lightly wiped the dagger clean, and then put it away.


    Qing Shui asked curiously, "Why did you let him die so easily?"


    "I''m tired. I''ve been busy the whole day, so I want to go back and rest. " Qiao Liangjin''s answer was out of the ordinary.


    Su Su Su pointed at Li and asked, "What about him?"


    "Continue to be a general. I put the poppy in the medicine he used. If there is no me in the future, he will be in so much pain that he will wish he were dead." Qiao Liangjin brushed the hair at the sides of his ears and then smiled sweetly at the kneeling Li.


    Li Zhengzhi raised his head in shock, as if he couldn''t believe what he had heard.


    Qiao Liangjin''s smile became brighter and brighter. "Of course my ointment can help you recover, but I forgot to mention the side effects."


    A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, but he obediently knelt down and kowtowed. "Many thanks to Princess Hua-Yang''s medicine."


    Qiao Liangjin touched his face and asked, "What if I had to act the mighty general for a few days?"


    Su Chen shook his hand, "No, my body is not strong enough."


    "The real mighty general is still alive and has been imprisoned in the water prison."


    "I know that, but I''ve already called for the general to be rescued."


    It was already late at night when Qing Shui escorted Qiao Liangjin to the door of the room.


    Su Qian stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at Qiao Liangjin who was about to close the door, he asked: "Why didn''t you invite me in to have some tea?"


    Qiao Liangjin forced a smile and said: "My lord, I almost thought you came from another world, but you actually asked me why I didn''t treat you to tea." It''s already the middle of the night, and there are still two people lying on the side who are making a ruckus. I''ll have to trouble you to hurry back to rest and return to the Royal City tomorrow. "


    Surprisingly, Su Chen did not retort. He rubbed the tip of his nose and nodded his head before turning around to leave.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly spoke up, "About that ¡­ "Thank you."


    She turned her back towards Qiao Liangjin and waved her hand, then left the yard.


    A dark figure appeared on top of the wall and said with a dissatisfied voice, "Brother, look, you just returned in the middle of the night." "She''s actually always with my Seventh Marquis ¡­"


    Closing the door, Qiao Liangjin lazily laid on the bed. He took the opportunity to pull the little fox who had just found a good position to lie down over his head.


    As Yu Sheng protested with a "chirp", he realized that the female host had already fallen asleep. She was biting her finger in frustration but there was no response. She could only sleep like this.


    It was that dream again. Qiao Liangjin was wearing a bright red robe, and the entire Residence of Qiao was decorated with decorations. She knew that she was married off, and her heart couldn''t help but throb.


    However, she heard the wailing sounds coming from the courtyard one after another. She touched the darkness, listening to the sounds as she slowly walked towards the courtyard. Her hands were clenched into fists; she was very scared.

 C69 First Exchange

    A man wearing the same red robe was standing with his back to her. He seemed to have noticed her arrival as he slightly turned around. He reached out his hand towards her and said, "Come, let me accompany you to view this pool covered in blood."


    Her heart skipped a beat. In front of her was Qiao Zheng''s head, Qiao Ruo Ying''s head, and Qiao Siyuan''s head. Big and small heads filled the yard.


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes.


    This was the second time that he had dreamt of exterminating the entire family.


    She had always been a woman with a natural instinct for danger. It was by relying on her innate sense of danger that she managed to avoid danger time and time again in the modern world.


    She smiled bitterly and covered her eyes with her hands. She already knew how powerful the martial arts was, but she could use her palm to stab into a person''s chest in just a split-second. How could she protect the entire Prime Minister''s Mansion with this kind of ability?


    If one day, he really had to stand on the opposite side of the clear, could his dagger really stab into his chest?


    Yuesheng opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was groaning. She hurriedly transformed into her human form and asked anxiously, "What''s wrong? Are you hurt? "


    Qiao Liangjin grabbed onto Yusheng''s shoulders and continued to shake him. "I had a nightmare. I dreamt that Su Qing killed my entire family. My whole family!"


    "Don''t be afraid. That was just a dream. You said it was a nightmare. Look at how kind the Seventh Prince is to you, how could he kill your entire family. You''re overthinking it."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Yu Sheng, who had a gentle look in his eyes and a gentle tone. "Eh?" He muttered, "Has this fox been split into two?"


    He then waved his hand, turned around and lay back down, yawning, "Forget it, forget it. Sleep."


    Yu Sheng, no, it should be the little fox''s clear eyes retracted slightly as it lay quietly beside her.


    For some reason, she would dream that she had killed her entire family.


    He had said that he would take care of her family, and he was doing his best to protect her. However, the sense of danger he felt was even worse than what he had imagined.


    She could hear even breathing. She placed her small hand on her waist and said in an extremely low voice, "You only need to protect yourself. You don''t need to worry about anything else."


    When the sky brightened, Miss Dingdang''s voice came from the courtyard: "Qiao Liangjin, you come out right now!"


    Qiao Liangjin stretched lazily, then grabbed the fox beside him and threw it on the ground. He pointed at the door and said: "Hurry and burn that woman to death! So noisy. "


    The little fox blinked its eyes and turned its head with an angry expression.


    Every time he was like this, he would grab her and throw her out whenever he was unhappy. When he grew as big as a mountain, he would definitely throw her around as well.


    "Why aren''t you going?!" The woman''s voice rose a few notches.


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, stood up helplessly. She had no choice but to lower her head when she was under the eaves.


    Pushing the door open, the little fox, Yu Cheng''s, flames of fox fire, were rolling in his palms. He walked out of the door step by step, raised three fingers and said, "I''ve said it three times, if Princess Lingling is still shouting, I''ll burn your clothes with a fox and make you naked."


    "Ya, damn hooligan!" After a scream, the courtyard returned to its previous quiet.


    The little fox, Yuesheng, returned to her room and transformed into a fox. Jumping onto the bed, she stepped on the pillow a few times before lying down.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was beside her, praised in satisfaction, "This is great, the world is so peaceful."


    The bell''s voice rang out again, "Qiao Liangjin, let''s meet in the capital."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face did not even raise an eyelid as he felt that these past few days had been tiring.


    From Nangong''s tone, it seemed that he was leaving Sheng City together with Su Qing. This girl was chasing after a man. She was truly impressed with herself for being able to reach this stage. To her, it was just a mere departure from Sheng Cheng.


    He slept soundly, almost past noon. Qiao Liangjin had just finished eating the lunch prepared by Zi Yan, and was standing under the shade of a tree, looking at the quiet house across from her. Thinking of the happy Nan Li of the past few days being dragged away by Nangong, she was moved to tears.


    Yu Sheng looked at her bright eyes and frowned. "Did you miss that fool Nan Li when he left?"


    Qiao Liangjin sent Yusheng flying with a kick. He rubbed his nose and said, "You''re thinking of him. You''re thinking of the beef he made, right?"


    A''Bai stood at the door and suddenly turned around. He softly said, "That Li Can will come in the future."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows twitched. He sat down on the stone bench and said with a smile: "Quickly, let General Li Geng in."


    At this moment, Li Yiran still needed someone to help him walk. He was supported straight to Qiao Liangjin and knelt in front of her, kowtowing deeply.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, "What''s wrong? General Li Can? How can you be so courteous? "


    "May I ask Miss Qiao to let me off?" As Lee said this, he loosened the bandage on his wrist.


    The scar on Li''s body was permeated with yellow pus.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and said, "I didn''t make this. My medicine is only poppy."


    When Lee Yanyi heard this, he became a bit anxious. He repeatedly kowtowed and said, "Please, miss, save me! My body is both painful and itchy. I feel extremely uncomfortable."


    Qiao Liangjin opened his palm and said helplessly: "I didn''t use this poison, I had no choice but to understand the poison that I poisoned myself. General Li Geng, that person with the golden mask ¡­" Is it him? "


    Upon hearing these words, Li Zhenyi''s entire body shuddered, and he fell to the ground as soft as a pile of mud.


    He had already reached this point, but because it was still useful, Su Chen and Qiao Lianjin let him go. The mighty General of Water also let him go because he had also done so.


    However, he had forgotten about the golden-masked man who was even more dangerous than the person in front of him.


    Qiao Liangjin scratched the back of his ear. He suddenly became interested in this man with the golden mask. If he poisoned her, then she would try to detoxify him. She had to deal with that man. Who told him to want to kill his brother?


    For a while, she even suspected that the person wearing the golden mask was the emperor, but when she thought about the days when the emperor didn''t have time to leave Sheng Cheng, she wondered if it was due to the letter beside the emperor.


    Looking at the clouds in the sky, Qiao Liangjin kept speculating on his thoughts. He almost forgot that there was a heavily injured Li Zhiru kneeling in front of him.


    Only when the purple smoke behind her lightly pushed Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder did she stop her thoughts and lower her head to say to Li Yizhi, "Okay, I''ve decided to save you. From today onwards, don''t leave my yard."


    As if he had received an amnesty, Li Yinshi once again kneeled down, kowtowing three times in succession.


    After the purple smoke settled the ''Li'' character, Qiao Liangjin rolled up his sleeves and looked up at the sky. It was unknown what he was thinking until his eyes started to ache. Only then did he close his eyes and started to regain his composure.


    It was time to pay a visit to the mighty General Shui.


    Qiao Liangjin was carrying the fox as he led Bai out of the door. Before he could walk out of the alley, a man dressed in embroidered colorful clothes blocked her path.


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze slightly retreated and he sighed: "Nanli, why didn''t you leave?"


    With a proud expression, Nan Li said, "I told my sister that I''d come looking for you. She''ll go looking for the Seventh Prince. If we split up, we''d definitely succeed."


    Qiao Liangjin felt like laughing as he watched Nan Li laugh, but he also felt bored. He could only see him as nothing and walk around him.


    Nan Li scratched his head and quickly gave chase. He casually shook his robe and asked: "Are my clothes not too eye-catching today? "It''s usually black and cyan, and from the looks of it, you seem to like it a lot."


    Qiao Liangjin glared at him and gave a cold snort. "You''re being too effective."


    Nan Li froze where he was. He had never heard of this before, but it didn''t feel good.


    He quickly chased after him and asked: "What do you mean by ''to be effective in the first place''? I''ve never heard of it. "


    Stopping in her tracks, she said in a single breath: "There used to be an ugly girl called EastShi who wore whatever she saw with a beautiful woman called Xi Shi. In fact, she didn''t look so ugly like she wanted to learn other people''s heartache."


    With that, he strode towards the general''s residence.


    It left Nan Li standing dumbly on the spot. After a moment of reflection, he suddenly shouted: "Alright! You stupid girl, you actually call me ugly!"


    Qiao Liangjin arrived at the general''s manor. He had already seen her housekeeper several times, so he quickly brought her into the manor.


    When the mighty general heard that Qiao Liangjin had arrived, he also dragged his body to the front hall.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the extremely weak General Martial. "My daughter Qiao Liangjin greets the General."


    General Wei looked at the girl before him and praised her, "Although I didn''t see Jin''er last night, I''ve heard about Jin''er''s behavior, just like a manly man."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and sat on a chair near the door.


    The mighty general then asked, "Are you going to sneak out this time? Is Ruoying still alive? "


    "Yes."


    "Jin''er is such a hero."


    Qiao Liangjin only smiled. She wasn''t that good at socializing, she was good at talking nonsense.


    After a moment of silence, both of them waited for the other to speak.


    "General Wei, I have something to ask you. When were you placed under house arrest? Who placed him under house arrest? According to your martial arts, there are very few people in this empire who can threaten you. " Qiao Liangjin asked straightforwardly.


    "That day when I was training, there was only a errand boy guarding the door. I only smelled a strange fragrance and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, my acupoints had already been sealed and thrown into the water prison. It should have been more than three months since then. " The mighty general answered truthfully.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly laughed softly when he heard the last sentence: "I wonder how long this person has known the old general, to actually be able to imitate you so vividly."


    General Wei looked at the steward standing by the door and coughed softly. "That''s right. I''m curious as well. How come so many people didn''t notice?"

 C70 Return Hug

    Qiao Liangjin stood up and faced General Wu, "Thank you for clarifying my daughter''s doubts, General. In the near future, Li Can will be staying with my daughter. If you need anything, please send someone to look for me."


    The mighty general tried his best to stand up and send Qiao Liangjin to the entrance of the hall.


    Qiao Liangjin stood at the door, respectfully bowed and said: "Please stop, old general, rest well."


    Arriving at the main entrance, he groaned, "Old fox."


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, turned his head to look at the general''s manor in puzzlement. He wondered, why did he not notice that there was an old fox in the manor?


    As soon as they left the General''s Estate, Nan Li waved at her from afar. She frowned. He walked over.


    "The person in your residence seems to have been poisoned by the poison from our Southern Kingdom." Nan Li whispered.


    Something seemed to flash through Qiao Liangjin''s mind. It was just a fleeting moment. She wanted to capture something, but it was already empty.


    "Sixth Prince, do you know that your current appearance is completely unlike that of a prince? What about your noble appearance? " Taking a deep breath, Qiao Liangjin looked at the smiling expression on Nan Li''s face. He really wanted to slap Qiao Liangjin in the face.


    Nan Li lowered his head and looked at his colorful brocade robe. He lightly waved his wide sleeves, then turned to a girl beside him and asked, "Am I that ugly?"


    The girl felt as if she had been struck by lightning. In an instant, her face was as red as the sunset. She covered her face and screamed as she ran away.


    Qiao Liangjin decided to ignore him, ignore him.


    Unexpectedly, Nan Li grabbed the little fox off her shoulder and hugged it. He said with a face full of smiles, "This weather is a bit hot, how about I carry it for you?"


    Yuesheng was hugged tighter as she brandished her claws at Nanli.


    Qiao Liangjin shrugged indifferently.


    Nan Li walked a little closer to Qiao Liangjin and tilted his head to look at the indifferent Qiao Liangjin. He suddenly asked, "You don''t care about that many people. Is that Su Su Su Qing in there?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows jumped. She glanced at Nan Li and did not reply. She just walked into the courtyard. It had already been six days. There were still nine days before he would tell his big brother that she had killed Xiao Hu with her own hands.


    In the end, she still let Xiao Hu''s family go. In order to ensure their safety, she took them with her when they returned to the Royal City.


    If not for her family, even if she herself lived in this world of ancient people, she was still a common person among the nine great clans. However, she could not do that.


    She could stand in the position of the ancients and think about those cruel questions, but she would not take the initiative to do so.


    Her principle was really simple enough to be understood in eight words: If people don''t offend me, I won''t offend them.


    "You''re avoiding this question." Nan Li''s voice sounded in her ears again.


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks and turned around. He snatched Yusheng away from Nan Li''s arms and turned around again. He said to Bai on the other side, "Stop him. Don''t make him bother me."


    Leaving the battling Nan Li and Bai behind, Qiao Liangjin walked briskly to his own small courtyard.


    The moment the door was pushed open, Qiao Liangjin was stunned and he blinked his eyes.


    Are you sure you didn''t see wrong? Is the man in the middle of the yard who dressed like a big red packet cleared up?


    Didn''t they say that he rushed back to the capital early in the morning?


    Su Ling Qing raised her head and looked at the door. Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s dazed and adorable face, she gave a slight smile. Her devastatingly beautiful face revealed a devilish smile as she slowly stood up and walked towards the door.


    He picked up the little fox in Qiao Liangjin''s arms and threw it away. He picked up Qiao Liangjin and lightly crossed the yard, the wall, and the ancient tree.


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze was still foolishly staring at Qing Shui''s face. She had always been surprised that he was still here.


    When they reached the hillside outside the city, Qiao Liangjin was put down. He lightly scratched her nose and smiled. "What happened?"


    "Didn''t you already leave earlier?"


    "I suddenly feel like I didn''t say goodbye."


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t know what to say anymore.


    Her heart had been beating like a little deer, and she wondered if he could feel it. Would she laugh at him?


    Qiao Liangjin, who was originally cold-hearted, had actually lost control of himself today.


    Jin''er, look over there. That''s a maple leaf forest. Not far away, on a small hill, there''s a hot spring. There''s a waterfall here. Tell me, how nice would it be if we built a small courtyard here?" Qing Qing pulled Qiao Liangjin''s hand and stood on the hillside, pointing ahead as she spoke in detail.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were a little blurred. There was a small courtyard? Look at the red maple leaf, listening to the sound of the waterfall, it''s all right to soak in the hot spring? What a good thing this was.


    "Then your palace will be built here. By the time thousands of your people arrive, all of the primordial ecosystems will be destroyed." Qiao Liangjin interrupted her with a cold tone.


    After a pause, he lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin''s face and shook his head, "No, it''s not the palace. It''s the small courtyard."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face gradually revealed a knowing smile. It was a little cold and indifferent, but like the green bud in early spring, it quietly bloomed.


    She seemed to have thought of something and waved her hand, and a bag was delivered by the guard behind her.


    Su Chen handed the package to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin touched the bag in surprise. It was very light, it did not seem like a treasure from gold and silver.


    He picked it up and shook it next to his ear. He pouted and said, "I thought it was some rare treasure. It''s gold and silver."


    His face paused for a second, and the guard beside him immediately turned around, using all his might to cover up his laughter with a cough.


    "This is a flexible armor that can protect you. Right now, I''m not by your side, so I don''t know if anyone will kill you. Although I believe that you can protect yourself, I still feel that it''s better for you to wear this." Her clear voice was extremely gentle.


    Qiao Liangjin opened it in surprise, revealing a silver soft armor that looked very fitting to her. She then picked up the soft armor in surprise and compared it with her own body.


    Suddenly, he gave a malicious smile and poked Su Su Qing''s chest. "How do you know so much about my chest circumference?"


    The guard turned around and coughed loudly before rolling down the hill.


    An inexplicable blush appeared on his clear face. He turned his head slightly and said, "The other day, when you came out of the water ¡­" I saw it. "


    Qiao Liangjin snorted: "Noble? A son of a bitch. "


    As he spoke, he took off his coat.


    Su Zhizhan was stunned and said, "What are you ¡­"


    "Let''s try to see if it fits. What''s wrong, can''t we go back to the factory and repair it?" Qiao Liangjin felt that even Qing Qing had seen him wearing the middle clothes. It wasn''t too bad that he was only wearing the middle clothes.


    Su Qing then closed her eyes and turned around with her hands behind her back, "Ok, go ahead."


    Qing Qing suddenly felt that her heart was truly very strong. At all times, she could resist the urge to spit out blood.


    Qiao Liangjin put on the soft armor and nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he put on his outer robe and patted his shoulder.


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin who was tying his belt, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace.


    Qiao Liangjin''s body stiffened and he subconsciously wanted to struggle free, but he suddenly remembered that they were about to separate. She stopped struggling and allowed Su Su Su Su Qing to hug her.


    "Take care of yourself. No matter what, I hope that you will trust me." His clear voice landed heavily on the last three words.


    He let go of Qiao Liangjin, cleared his throat, and flew down the slope.


    He left on his horse without looking back.


    Only Qiao Liangjin was left. He was still standing on the spot as if he hadn''t responded yet.


    After a while, Qing Qing, who was riding a horse, faintly heard a girl''s angry roar from the hillside, "Fuck, you''re taking advantage of me again!"


    A clear and hearty laugh came from the wind.


    Qiao Liangjin returned to the yard quietly. Nan Li was playing chess with Bai. When he saw Qiao Liangjin return, he sighed and said, "That Sang Qing guy is really haunting."


    "The one who is lingering is you, right?" Qiao Liangjin stretched his back and entered the house.


    There was a letter on the table. Qiao Liangjin opened the envelope and after reading the contents, he frowned.


    Indeed, the old fox Qiao Zheng had discovered that he was not in the mansion. Other than Qiao Zheng who knew that he was not in the mansion, the rest could temporarily hide it.


    A letter was written by Dai Di, urging Qiao Liangjin to return quickly.


    It had already been a month and a half since he came here, and it should have snowed in the capital by then.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and threw the letter onto the table. He then laid it down on the bed.


    With Nan Li''s help, the poison in Li Yinyi''s body was resolved rather quickly.


    Waiting until the agreed time of the 15th day with the spiritual jade was up, Qiao Liangjin gave the first big pot of ointment to Li, sending him back to the army camp.


    Sometimes, you still had to leave behind a soft knife in some crucial places.


    The person who sprinkled water on the wall every day was still the same person who sprinkled water on the wall every day.


    Qiao Liangjin leaned against the city wall, gazing into the distance. He suddenly raised his hand, made a gesture of a pistol, closed one eye, made a gesture of a gun, and smiled.


    Qiao Ruo Ying''s martial arts were crippled, but it was not right for her to bring her home like this. So before she left, she had to make her brother carry his name back.


    The night was gloomy.


    Nan Li''s voice came out from Qiao Liangjin''s room: "You want me to go? "That won''t do. If I were to be discovered as the Sixth Prince of the Southern Kingdom, then the Eastern Kingdom will definitely think that our Southern Kingdom is colluding with your Xuanyuan Kingdom."


    Inside the house, under the candlelight, Qiao Liangjin was slowly pouring tea and drinking it. He didn''t even spare a glance at the complaining Nan Li.


    Nan Li stood up and paced back and forth in his room before he sighed. "Sigh, This King knew that I would be tricked by a fox like you sooner or later."


    "Sixth Prince, you must be joking. We''re just doing what we need to do. Your martial arts are the best and the cleanest. I need to go outside of the city to mess up the other camp." You are the most suitable helper. " Qiao Liangjin raised his eyes slightly.


    Nan Li shook his head. "It''s better if I go myself. It''s easier to leave. Isn''t it just to kill the marshal over there? If you want to go, then I''ll have to take care of you." "No, no, no."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand lightly. She had been arguing with Nan Li for half the night over whether or not they could go against the enemy camp to kill their commander.

 C71 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

    Nan Li thought that Qiao Liangjin had loosened up, so he sat down and drew some figures on a piece of paper. "The commander of the Eastern Kingdom''s expedition this time is called Mai Ji, and it is said that he was once a slave, because he grew up with the emperor and became brave and warlike, he washed off his servant and became the commander of this expedition to Xuanyuan Kingdom."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Nan Li''s drawing on the paper and listened to his analysis. He could not help but exclaim in admiration. This man was born to be a military expert. If he became the emperor of the Southern Kingdom in the future, the Southern Kingdom would definitely welcome a Golden Age Dynasty.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If one day you become the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, can you be at peace with Xuanyuan Kingdom for all eternity?"


    Nan Li didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to suddenly change the topic and talk about the future.


    He looked carefully at Qiao Liangjin''s face. There was no hint of a joke on her face. She believed that she would become the emperor of the Southern Kingdom in the future ¡­


    Nan Li pursed his lips and thought for a moment. "Why do you require this?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s slender white finger drew on the paper. Without any expression, he calmly said: "One General''s success is equivalent to ten thousand bones."


    Nan Li seemed to be shocked by Qiao Liangjin''s simple sentence. What a great success! This girl in front of him had surprised him yet again.


    "Good, if in the future, I become the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, I definitely won''t send troops against Xuanyuan Kingdom when I have a chance to live."


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled. "Then I hope that you can live until you''re a hundred years old, until I die."


    When Nan Li heard Qiao Liangjin say death, his heart throbbed in pain for some reason. He put his hand on her finger drawing on the paper and said softly, "Don''t talk about death so easily."


    Qiao Liangjin withdrew his finger, stood up and pushed Nan Li out of the room, then closed the door and said: "Don''t disturb my sleep tomorrow. Remember to go out tomorrow night. "Rest and store up energy."


    At night, Qiao Liangjin felt as if a white shadow had approached his bed and smelled a faint fragrance. In that instant, he felt a palm pressing on his abdomen.


    The warm and hot Zhen Qi continued flowing into her dantian.


    She knew there was someone beside her, but she couldn''t open her eyes. She couldn''t even move her body.


    She slept for too long, and by the time she woke up, it was already past noon.


    She prepared a set of black robes and hid the dagger at her waist. After thinking for a while, she tied the black rope that she had used to clean up the place, which was made of some unknown material, to her waist. She patted her chest.


    Closing her eyes, she sat cross-legged and began to circulate her energy. She was really curious about the person who could send her true energy at night.


    South Parting? He loved himself more than he loved anyone, so how could he bear to give her his true energy?


    Clear up? He had left a long time ago.


    Who could it be? This zhenqi was pure and transparent, different from the Qi of the people around him.


    When Zi Yan entered, she saw that Qiao Liangjin had already changed his clothes and her face immediately turned pale. She didn''t know what Qiao Liangjin was going to do, but she knew that if the young miss didn''t tell her, then she was going to do something very dangerous.


    He quickly stepped forward and tried to persuade her: "Miss, are you going to do something?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and asked: "What time is it now? Remember to go to the city gate later to fetch Miss Ling Yu and the young master. "


    Zi Yan knew that Qiao Liangjin was trying to avoid the attack, so she gave up as she knelt beside Qiao Liangjin''s bed.


    When Qiao Liangjin heard the commotion, he opened his eyes and saw Zi Yan kneeling beside the bed. She was a little confused. "What are you doing?"


    Before Zi Yan could speak, tears rolled down her face.


    Qiao Liangjin quickly got off the bed and helped up the purple smoke. He frowned and said: "If others saw this, they would think that I bullied you."


    "This servant doesn''t know what Miss is going to do, but seeing you like this, this servant knows that you must be going to do something dangerous. Why don''t Miss wait here and let servant and Bai go?" Zi Yan''s expression was extremely sorrowful.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and laughed. He gently wiped away the tears in his eyes and said, "This is a matter for my Qiao family. Anyone can go but me. I only have one chance. I must grasp it. "


    Zi Yan was a woman with a delicate heart, and she instantly understood where Qiao Liangjin was headed. She pointed to the east and asked with a trembling voice, "Miss ¡­ "You are going over there ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin did not intend on hiding anything from Zi Yan and nodded with a smile. "Yes, I am going to bring Big Brother back to the Royal City. His martial arts skills are all wasted, so he has to make a huge contribution in order to temporarily protect our Prime Minister''s house."


    Zi Yan understood Qiao Liangjin''s meaning. She nodded and wiped away her tears before resolutely saying, "Then this servant will go with you, we will advance and retreat together."


    Qiao Liangjin shook her head. She knew that this trip was very dangerous, the fewer people there were, the easier it was for them to escape. If she brought them along, if they caught her, she might end up in prison.


    "The mission I''m giving you is to settle down the eldest young master and Lady Ling Yu. Believe me, I will definitely return at five o''clock with the head of the Eastern Kingdom''s marshal." Qiao Liangjin''s expression was indifferent.


    The sky gradually turned dark, and South Asunder appeared in Qiao Liangjin''s courtyard. They had changed from their usual wide robes to wearing black, close-fitting clothes.


    Under the night sky, Qiao Liangjin couldn''t help but shake his head as he looked at Nan Li''s perfect figure. Ai, this figure really wanted to touch it.


    When Nan Li saw Qiao Liangjin change his clothes, he frowned and asked in a low voice: "Didn''t you say I would go and wait here?"


    Qiao Liangjin made a silencing motion as he placed the sword that Bai had prepared for her on his back.


    She felt better with more weapons on her body.


    When Nan Li flipped over the wall, he wanted to help Qiao Liangjin, but unexpectedly, she didn''t even breathe and landed lightly on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the forest not far away and waved his hand to the south, indicating that he should not get too close to him.


    However, Nan Li insisted on running away with her. He had already crossed the bottom line by letting her come with him.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the sky speechlessly. Why didn''t this man have the slightest bit of confidence in him? This ancient man was really a sow.


    Leaping all the way, Qiao Liangjin did not fall behind in South Parting at all. He arrived at the camp of the Eastern Kingdom hidden in the forest.


    Qiao Liangjin climbed up the tree quickly. He took out his simple telescope and looked at the military camp.


    A rustling sound came from not far behind him. Nan Li gripped his sabre and looked around vigilantly.


    Qiao Liangjin whispered, "Don''t bother, it''s my secret guard."


    Qiao Liangjin used his binoculars to look at the barracks, then pointed at a tall tent in the middle and said: "Burn the map there, and the one in the tent beside is the main marshal, I''ll go kill him."


    Nan Li panicked and pulled Qiao Liangjin''s arm as he yelled in a low voice: "You are a woman, who are you going to kill?"


    "Your sister can use Corpse Disintegration Powder." Qiao Liangjin replied calmly.


    Nan Li almost went mad: "I never thought she was a woman."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and leaned back against the tree trunk. He closed his eyes and said, "We will move out in an hour. I want to rest now. Don''t disturb me."


    Nan Li was slightly startled. She actually wanted to rest for a while. What did an hour mean?


    Why was this woman so calm and confident in everything she did? Was she really the young lady of the Prime Minister''s Estate? Wasn''t it rumored that the young miss of the Prime Minister''s residence had a big head and big ears, and was infatuated with flowers?


    The military camp under the tree gradually ceased, and the entire forest gradually fell into silence.


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes, stretched out his arms and gently jumped down from the tree. He landed on the ground.


    She silently approached the gates of the barracks, jumped up onto the watchtower, and when the soldier turned to look at her, she broke his neck.


    When Nan Li, who was behind her, saw her quick and clean move, he couldn''t help but be stunned. No matter how he looked at this operation, it looked like she had been training for many years.


    After descending from the watchtower, Qiao Liangjin had already donned the clothes of the sentry and swaggered towards the main camp.


    The soldiers at the main camp''s entrance stopped Qiao Liangjin, pointed their spears at Qiao Liangjin and asked: "What are you doing?"


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Bring a midnight snack to the main marshal."


    "A midnight snack?" The soldier obviously didn''t know what he meant.


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head and smiled. He held two daggers with both of his hands at an unknown time and stuck them into the two people''s hearts. He said, "Is it delicious? Go down to the underworld and eat. "


    After killing him with a single slash, Nan Li suddenly felt that he had come here to watch the show. He didn''t even need to do anything.


    That''s not right. Or perhaps, during the evacuation, this military camp would be alerted and he would have to come to cover it up?


    Qiao Liangjin entered the main camp and poured the kerosene from the lantern onto the map. He then easily knocked down the candle on the table.


    Seeing the fire getting bigger, Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up slightly.


    Ma Ji, who was sleeping in the tent next door, seemed to have felt the light and suddenly opened his eyes.


    A figure was standing at the head of his bed. He was about to shout, "Someone!"


    The figure covered his mouth, and a dagger slashed across his throat.


    Ma Ji''s hands tried to cover Na Nuo''s wounds, but he could not do anything about it.


    Unexpectedly, a lazy girl''s voice came from the other bed. "What are you all doing?"


    Then, as if smelling the scent of blood, he shouted, "Abba! Abba!"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows. What, they even brought along their daughter?


    She turned around and slid to the girl''s side. The bloodstained dagger was pressed against the girl''s neck.


    He said in the same low voice, "Do you want revenge? "Remember my name, Nan Li." With that, he chopped the girl on the back of her head.


    Nan Li''s figure leaned against the door and suddenly laughed. "This King is still wondering why you brought This King along with you when you were so skilled. Now This King understands."


    "You don''t understand, hurry up and help me cut off my head. Let''s go quickly, the fire is getting bigger and bigger." Qiao Liangjin originally wanted to abandon the girl here and leave, but after thinking about how he would be burned down at such a young age, he used a dagger to cut a gap in the tent and threw the girl out.


    Nan Li frowned and walked over to the corpse of the marshal Mai Ji. He grabbed Mai Ji''s hair and didn''t continue cutting it with the dagger. However, he suddenly exerted his strength and pulled the head along with the spine out.


    He threw the skull on the ground and wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief on the table. "Is this okay?" he asked.

 C72 Achievement and Retreat

    Qiao Liangjin frowned as he looked at the white skull on the back of his neck. His stomach began to churn inexplicably.


    "Why are you so disgusting?"


    "You already betrayed me, so I''ll treat it as repayment if I disgust you. What''s wrong?" Nan Li replied stubbornly.


    Feeling that he was really disgusted with Qiao Liangjin, Nan Li took off the list on the bed and covered his head. He stepped on the spine and broke it. After tying up the bag, he threw it to Qiao Liangjin who was looking through everything.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes lit up. He placed a glittering gold command medallion into his pocket, and a few more letter-like items into his pocket. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction, pick up the package on the ground and fly out of the military camp.


    It was already chaotic outside, Qiao Liangjin and Nan Li also ran to the door along with the noisy crowd and jumped onto the tree.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly shouted, "Everyone! Everyone!"


    The soldiers who were busy fighting the fire stopped and looked around, as if trying to find the source of the noise.


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice came from all directions and entered their ears, "Your commander-in-chief has already been killed. Why haven''t you withdrawn your troops?"


    With a "tut," the entire military camp was thrown into chaos.


    Nan Li pulled on her sleeve and asked, "You''re still not leaving? Aren''t you afraid of being discovered later and turned into a sieve?"


    Qiao Liangjin patted his chest and said with a smile, "No."


    Just as he was about to leave, he heard a sharp shout from the girl behind the main camp: "South Li! I want to fight to the death with you. "


    Qiao Liangjin smiled sinisterly and patted Nan Li''s shoulder, saying: "Congratulations, you will have a woman who will follow you without leaving you in this life."


    After he had finished speaking, he swept past Nan Li like a gust of wind.


    As she was jumping up to the city gate, she shouted with her internal energy, "The Eastern Kingdom''s commander, Ma Ji, has been killed by Qiao Ruo Ying!"


    Qiao Liangjin jumped off the wall and heard the noise of people on the wall. Gradually, more and more torches lit up nearby.


    She lightly passed through the short walls and passed through the alleyway. When she arrived at the entrance, she took off the mask on her face and shook her body, as if trying to get rid of the hostility on her body.


    When she reached the door, she heard the voices of Qiao Ruo Ying and Ling Yu, and her heart was filled with joy. With a bag in one hand, he pushed open the door and entered.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had a picturesque expression on his face, smiled and asked, "Why are you guys still here? Aren''t you going to rest?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying, who was arguing with Zi Yan about going out to look for Qiao Liangjin in the city, immediately laughed. She walked over and pulled Qiao Ruo Ying into her embrace with an unconcealable joy in her voice: "I heard that you went out and I was scared to death. "Thank goodness you''re back."


    Qiao Liangjin could only go around Qiao Ruo Ying''s waist. He patted her back and comforted her, "I''m fine. Don''t worry."


    Nan Li''s voice came from behind. "Greetings, Eldest Uncle."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hands, which had been patting her back, curled into fists.


    Qiao Ruo Ying was in the midst of the joyous reunion with her sister when she heard someone call her uncle. She was stunned for a moment before raising her brows and looking over in the darkness.


    Qiao Liangjin let go of Qiao Ruo Ying and stood beside her. He looked at Nan Li at the door and shook his head with a sigh. "Nan Li, can''t you be more serious?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying frowned and looked at Nan Li who was standing in the dark. She asked softly, "Who is that person?"


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and whispered back, "It''s just a passer-by, a passer-by."


    Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.


    Suddenly thinking of Ling Yu, Qiao Ruo Ying turned to Ling Yu who was standing behind her and said with an unfriendly tone, "I''ve already seen my sister. You can go back now."


    Ling Yu nodded and walked out the door.


    Qiao Liangjin saw that this girl was so obedient and wanted her to leave. He went up to stop her and smiled: "Miss Ling Yu saved my brother. She is my benefactor, you can''t leave so easily."


    Ling Yu stopped and turned her head to look at Qiao Ruo Ying with a troubled expression, as if she was waiting for him to speak.


    Qiao Ruo Ying turned her head to the side and did not speak again.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the people in the yard and waved the bag in his hands, "There''s good stuff here, it''s like sharing it with everyone."


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, squatted down on the stone table and pinched his nose. Unhappily, he said, "What good stuff can there be from the blood of such a large person?"


    When Ma Ji''s head was placed on the table, Qiao Ruoyin gasped as her mouth gaped open in surprise. Her little sister had left the city in the middle of the night to do such an earth-shattering thing?


    Qiao Ruo Ying covered Ma Ji''s head in the next second. He did not wish for his little sister to do such a dangerous action.


    Qiao Liangjin was a woman with an exquisite heart. She knew what Qiao Ruoyin''s actions meant. She gently pulled on Qiao Ruoyin''s sleeve and smiled, "Brother, you''ve already returned, so you must bring back your missing days. If you return empty-handed, I don''t know what kind of treatment you''ll receive in this military camp."


    Qiao Ruo Ying''s heart ached as she looked at her sister''s face. She shook her head and said, "No. If I let you take the risk, I would rather ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly patted the back of his hand happily. His original smile suddenly changed to a serious face. He nodded and said: "Ok, I won''t take any more risks in the future. I promise."


    After settling everything down, Qiao Ruo Ying brought Ma Ji''s corpse to the general''s manor.


    Qiao Liangjin had kept the spiritual jade and insisted on letting it sleep with him.


    Ling Yu slightly declined and followed Qiao Liangjin to sleep.


    The little fox was thrown by Qiao Liangjin onto an armchair not too far away. After thinking for a moment, he grabbed it and threw it outside the door.


    Yu Sheng desperately pounded on the door, expressing his dissatisfaction.


    Ling Yu looked at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment. She wanted to ask something, but she suddenly covered her mouth, smiled, and lay down.


    Qiao Liangjin laid down on the bed and looked at Ling Yu''s spirited eyes. His long eyelashes fluttered as he smiled and said: "You like my big brother?"


    A red cloud appeared on Ling Yu''s round face, but she nodded her head obediently.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose and said, "Then will you come back to the Royal City with him?"


    Ling Yu was silent for a while, then her expression slightly dimmed. She bitterly smiled and said, "I can''t leave. I can''t leave that place until twenty years later."


    Qiao Liangjin was actually very curious about how the seven houses were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. However, she also knew that a gentleman shouldn''t ask about things that others didn''t want him to know.


    "We have guarded at the bottom of this cliff for generations, and every single house has guarded for twenty years. It has already been a very long time, and we don''t even know why we have to guard there. We only know that if one of the houses is destroyed, something big will happen."


    Unexpectedly, this innocent girl actually told the story of the bottom of the cliff herself.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart sank. Twenty years? Could Qiao Ruo Ying wait another twenty years? Or one day, would he accompany her at the bottom of the cliff?


    She was lost in her thoughts for a long time. It was only when the chickens were crowing that she finally fell asleep.


    Qiao Liangjin was ready to leave for the Prime Minister''s residence, but when he arrived at the entrance, he saw the mighty general standing there, as if he had been waiting for a long time.


    Qiao Liangjin dismounted from his horse and said, "Greetings General! Congratulations General! Last night, one of our men single-handedly charged into the enemy''s camp and took down the Commander''s head in one go."


    The mighty general quickly went down the steps and walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side. He smiled as he stroked his chin and helped Qiao Liangjin up. He looked at Qiao Liangjin with an extremely appreciative gaze, "Ruo Ying told me everything last night ¡­ If it''s possible, this old man truly hopes that you can stay here. "


    He suddenly felt that his outfit did not match his own actions, so he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your praise, Sir General. It''s just that this lowly woman is not able to be a general in front of a battle formation. My daughter has a presumptuous request. "


    When the mighty general heard that Qiao Liangjin had a request, let alone one, even if there were ten, he would gladly agree to it.


    Qiao Liangjin continued: "Qiao Ruo Ying has lost all her martial arts and is no longer suitable to kill her enemies in front of the formation. I hope that General ¡­"


    The mighty general immediately understood and nodded his head, "Last night, I had already passed the military message to the imperial city. I have already written Ruo Ying down. Your brother will be able to return to the imperial city after the decree is passed down."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head, then saluted General Wu after all. Then, he jumped onto his horse, raised his hand from the horse, and heavily clipped the horse''s abdomen.


    General Wu looked at Qiao Liangjin''s back as he walked away and said in admiration: "With this woman, the Prime Minister''s Mansion will definitely prosper."


    Qiao Liangjin rode all the way to the Peach Blossom Forest outside the city. He stopped his horse, turned around and looked at Li Zhiru who was following him, and asked: "Are you sure you want to go back with me?"


    At this moment, Li Zhiru''s face was still covered by the cloth. He nodded firmly.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. He raised the horsewhip into the air, and with a loud and clear whipping sound, he rushed towards the direction of the Royal City.


    There were too many people and things that concerned her.


    After passing through the Peach Blossom Forest, a figure suddenly appeared behind her. Nan Li''s voice rang in her ears, "You''re really stingy. You threw me away and ran off on your own."


    Qiao Liangjin''s body stiffened and he gave an embarrassed smile. He turned his head to look at the face of the unhappy Nan Li and suddenly rammed his head backwards. But before he could dodge, Qiao Liangjin''s head rammed into his nose.


    Qiao Liangjin instantly kicked his right leg backwards.


    Nan Li suffered a loss. When Qiao Liangjin kicked out, he grabbed her slender ankle and asked with a smile, "Do you want to practice your yoga again?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and repeated the same trick as before. He smashed the back of his head towards Nan Li who was behind him.


    Nan Li quickly let go and used his palm to block the back of Qiao Liangjin''s head. He smiled bitterly: "Why are you so angry? I''m just borrowing your horse for a ride. "


    Saying so, he put his finger to his lips and let out a long whistle.


    From not too far away, he heard the loud hiss of a horse and the sound of a horse''s hooves. From Qiao Liangjin''s left side, a pure black horse galloped over.


    The horse had white fur all over its four hooves, and the rest of it was pure black without any other color.


    Even Qiao Liangjin, who didn''t know much about horses, couldn''t help but exclaim.


    Qiao Liangjin restrained himself from riding the horse while Nan Li placed his palms on the horse''s back. He exerted a little strength and jumped from Qiao Liangjin''s back onto his own horse. Patting his horse on the neck, Lang Sheng laughed. Is my Treading on Snow good-looking? "

 C73 Return to Kings City

    Qiao Liangjin nodded and then shook his head. "What a pity to have such a vulgar name."


    Nan Li raised his eyebrows. This name sounded unpleasant?


    Qiao Liangjin stroked his chin as he looked at the lively dark horse and said, "Why don''t we call him Big Dipper Cloud? I just saw that his speed is really not bad."


    Nan Li laughed, then patted the horse''s neck and laughed: "Okay, from now on, you are called Big Dipper."


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned. He was just joking around. The name was simply too casual.


    However, Nan Li pinched his horse''s belly and pointed at the imperial city. "Let''s go. We have to rush to the relay station in front when it''s dark."


    When they arrived at the inn, Qiao Liangjin ordered a room to be slept in. The little fox also jumped onto the bed with Qiao Liangjin. It laid down with its belly turned up in the exact same posture as Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed, "It''s so tiring to ride a horse."


    The little fox replied, "Chirp chirp chirp."


    "The price for acting cool is really high."


    "Chirp chirp chirp chirp."


    "That horse of his is really pretty. I really want to trick him into coming over here."


    Chirp chirp ¡­


    The little fox replied twice. Only then did it feel as if Qiao Liangjin was saying ¡­ Did she like the horse?


    The little fox immediately mourned for Nan Li in its heart for three minutes.


    After taking a bath, Qiao Liangjin heard that there was a small lake nearby, so he happily carried the little fox to the lake.


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, struggled in despair a few times before he was carried obediently to the lake by Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin stroked the hair on the back of his back and smiled as he looked at his reflection in the lake. He asked, "Oh, Yuesheng, don''t you feel that the lake is very clear?"


    Yu Sheng fell silent and did not answer.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly threw out the Yuesheng in his hand, and Rangsheng shouted, "Heavenly Lady Scattered Flower!"


    Not far away, a ''putong'' sound could be heard as something fell into the water.


    Another baritone voice sounded, "Qiao Liangjin!"


    From behind the boulder by the lake, Nan Li walked over, his upper body naked.


    Qiao Liangjin was dumbfounded. Why was this guy bathing here?


    His chest muscles were full, but it didn''t swell. After he put on his clothes, he only felt that he was tall and lean. He didn''t have that huge muscle feeling.


    Qiao Liangjin''s throat slightly moved. It really was ¡­ A beauty worth eating.


    Nan Li also realized that Qiao Liangjin was admiring his figure, so he stopped and stood with his hands on his hips in the water, quietly letting her watch.


    On the other side, the little fox transformed into a humanoid form and bellowed out from the water: "Qiao Liangjin, you despotic b * tch!"


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin realize that he had lost his mind. He quickly recovered and said angrily: "Damn fox, do you believe that I will drown you here today?"


    Nan Li slightly brushed his wet hair and asked, "Do you need me to help you?"


    Yu Sheng wailed, "The human heart isn''t what it used to be. Demons are about to die in someone''s hands."


    Ever since that day, the robe that Nan Li was wearing became wider and wider. From time to time, he would reveal his exquisite collarbone, always flashing in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin almost wanted to pierce his eyes. What a disappointing pair of eyes. He just glanced at his chest muscles, causing them to constantly tempt him with their manliness.


    Seeing that they were about to attack the capital, Qiao Liangjin pulled his horse and sternly said to Nan Li who was beside him, "Take care, Sixth Prince."


    Nan Li blinked and smiled: "Why are you saying goodbye? If I wanted to see you, I would have come to see you. No need to say goodbye."


    She suddenly felt that it was useless for her to say so much. In any case, after a short period of time, other than his own Southern Kingdom people coming to kill him, he would probably have another Eastern country assassin. At that time, he would have no time to think about himself.


    Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Qiao Liangjin brought Zi Yan and Bai over to the outside of the restaurant.


    Pushing the door open, he saw a woman who looked exactly like him sitting at the dressing table.


    Uh, it''s not exactly the same. That girl is so fat, she''s exactly the same as me.


    He saw Qiao Liangjin in the dressing mirror. The Qiao Liangjin in front of the mirror had suddenly disappeared. A cute little girl was shaking her head as she ran towards Qiao Liangjin.


    "You''re back?" He grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s waist and raised his head 72 degrees.


    Qiao Liangjin asked in surprise: "Was it you? Spirit Swirl? has it transformed into my appearance? "


    The Spirit Swirl nodded and said with a smile, "During this period of time, I will transform into your appearance and walk around the garden. I won''t say anything, I will just let everyone know that you are here and that you are sick." Saying so, he coughed a few more times.


    "Miss, you''re back!" Pang Dai and Ruo Lan''s joyous voice came from behind. Zi Yan, you''re back too! "


    The few of them huddled together, jumping up and down in joy.


    Spirit Swirl walked up to Yu Sheng and stood on tiptoe. He measured Yu Sheng''s height and asked in surprise, "Why do you seem to have grown taller?"


    Yu Sheng took out a piece of jade and raised his eyebrows. Following that, he kept it and made a silencing gesture.


    "Yesterday, I received an imperial edict from the emperor saying that the eldest young master had rendered a great service. He had only returned to the capital to recuperate from his injuries. We were thinking, This must be what you did. "


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and smiled at the makeup, "Why would you think that?"


    Ruo Lan shook her head and said indifferently, "We don''t know why, but we felt that something big had happened in Fringe City. You were the one who did it."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and stretched lazily. He leaned against the beauty bed and said with a smile: "From today onwards, I will be able to continue living a lazy life without worrying about food and clothing."


    Just as he finished speaking, Rulan handed the purple jade grapes on the plate to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin stroked his blue cheeks and said with a smile like a popinjay: "Good boy."


    Afterwards, she lazily listened to the female servants by her side talking and laughing. On the other side, the little fox and the Mimosa Essence were mumbling something. Suddenly, she felt really satisfied.


    Early the next morning, Qiao Liangjin got off the bed, spread his arms and said loudly: "Little ones, get up, I''m revived."


    After putting on his battle uniform, Qiao Liangjin swaggered out of the Golden Flower Pavilion.


    It just so happened that he ran into Qiao Zheng who was about to leave.


    Qiao Zheng had lost a lot of weight and aged considerably. Seeing Qiao Liangjin walk towards the door, he stopped in his tracks and frowned slightly. "Go home and rest well."


    "Father, your daughter has completely recovered. Today, I''m going to take a tour of the capital. After all, my brother killed the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Kingdom!"


    Qiao Zheng''s body shook when he heard this as his originally sluggish eyes suddenly lit up. His voice was filled with surprise and surprise, as if he was trying his best to stabilize his voice. "Jin''er ¡­" Jin''er ¡­ "You''re back. Good, good, good. Go, go, make a ruckus in the capital."


    Qiao Liang''s eyes grew hot and he nodded. He turned around and raised his arms: "Comrades, what is our goal?"


    The three guards and three maids followed and shouted, "The whole world!"


    The female pervert Qiao who had disappeared from the capital for a long time had appeared again. This time, she was even more breathtaking than last time.


    She was no longer satisfied with her previous colourful attire. She wore a white dress with two snow-white wings on her back. This was the attire of an angel.


    Standing on the chariot, he continuously blew a kiss to the crowd. The chariot slowly walked to the entrance of the palace, and a man wearing a red official''s robe held his hands as he gently looked at Qiao Liangjin who was dressed like an angel on the chariot.


    Qiao Liangjin also saw the man in the loose red robe. The man had a silver belt tied around his waist. With a gentle breeze, his red robe fluttered in the morning light.


    Her eyes turned soft and gentle for a moment before she gave a slight nod without any change in her expression.


    As if they had some sort of tacit understanding, she continued to wantonly chat and laugh while singing. On the other side, Su Qing turned around and walked into the palace.


    Qiao Liangjin finished reading the book on the Sky Bridge and closed his stall. When he returned to the Residence of Prime Minister, he heard Qiao Zheng looking for him.


    Qiao Liangjin swaggered into the study room, leaving Bai and Kuan at the door.


    When Qiao Zheng heard the door ring, he raised his head and looked at the smiling girl before him with a sorrowful gaze.


    Qiao Liangjin touched his face and asked: "What''s wrong?" Why is Father looking at me like that? "


    Qiao Zheng stood up and walked over to Qiao Liangjin''s side. He used his hand to compare Qiao Liangjin''s height before sighing, "Our family''s Jin`er has grown up."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, you''re much more sensible now."


    Qiao Zheng''s gaze dimmed. "It''s just that you have too many ideas."


    Qiao Liangjin was startled and then stopped smiling. He patted Qiao Zheng''s slightly stooped back and comforted him, "The ancients say that a child cannot be a mother. Father, I am fine."


    "Find your brother, then go to the enemy camp and kill the commander. All of this was done by you." Qiao Zheng asked.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed. This government wily old fox.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and bit his finger, "Dad, do you think that with your daughter''s figure, how could she possibly kill the enemy? At most, you will only be able to find your brother. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes glimmered with a bit of bright light. His crafty appearance allowed Qiao Zheng to know that no matter how much he asked, he would not be able to ask anything.


    After exiting the study room, Qiao Liangjin asked in a low voice, "Just now, there was the sound of footsteps nearby. Who was it that approached?"


    "It''s the First Lady, but she took a look at the Moon Gate for a while and then left."


    "When?"


    "She left before you came out." Bai answered seriously.


    Qiao Liangjin pinched her forehead. She seemed to be preparing for another fight at home.


    After exiting the Moon Gate, he saw Qiao Ya walking over with Qiao Yue-er.


    Qiao Ya walked up to Qiao Liangjin and asked with a smile, "Big sister, your illness seems to have recovered. Why did you recover so quickly in one night? A while ago, I was worried that you would not be able to make it through."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes countless times in his heart. You''re the one who can''t go through it, your whole family can''t.

 C74 Tower Talk

    Qiao Yue-er followed up, "Elder sister, you don''t know that Father didn''t even allow us to visit you, saying that he was afraid that you would infect us. Since you said Father dotes on you, why did you let us kill you?"


    Qiao Ya continued to laugh. "Look at how your elder sister is left unattended. On the contrary, she''s still fine. She''s really living a cheap life."


    Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly stopped. A dagger had appeared in Qiao Liangjin''s hand.


    She raised her eyebrows, indicating that she should continue.


    Qiao Yue-er thought back to the day at the Golden Flower Pavilion. She rubbed her neck and pulled Qiao Ya by the arm.


    Qiao Ya''s beautiful face paled as she incoherently said, "It''s hot in the sky. It''s so hot. Elder sister should go and rest. Have a good rest."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face was filled with a brilliant smile, "Of course, my two younger sisters. If you have nothing better to do, you''d better learn more than you have to, don''t always do useless things. You can''t win against me, but apart from me, what else do you have? It would be better to learn from your mother and learn how to conceal one''s abilities. "


    Qiao Zheng came out from the study and saw his three daughters standing together. He did not know what they were discussing but he walked over. Qiao Ya saw Qiao Zheng walk over and immediately apologized with tears streaming down her face. "Sister, little sister has let you down."


    Qiao Liangjin had a natural sharp sense. She calmly withdrew the dagger back into her sleeve and supported Qiao Ya''s arm with a smile. "What are you talking about, little sister? Big sister''s body is fat, so this is not what I was thinking."


    When Qiao Zheng heard this, his eyebrows creased.


    Qiao Ya raised her gaze to look at Qiao Zheng, her heart sinking. This Qiao Liangjin had really become more difficult to deal with than before.


    Qiao Zheng walked over and asked: "The three of you aren''t going to eat. What are you doing here?"


    Qiao Liangjin immediately turned around and held onto Qiao Zheng''s arm as he said coquettishly, "Father, you''ve been sick for quite some time. Today, we''ll wait here for you to eat together."


    Qiao Zheng patted the back of Qiao Liangjin''s hand and allowed Qiao Liangjin to carry him into the dining room.


    Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er ruthlessly waited for Qiao Liangjin''s back. Qiao Liangjin''s other hand was placed behind his back, and he raised his middle finger.


    Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er were stunned. What did this mean?


    Qiao Yifan hadn''t seen Qiao Liangjin for a long time. When he saw her in the dining room, he happily carried his bowl and insisted on sitting next to her. He even carefully picked out a fish bone and gave it to his sister to eat.


    Qiao Yifan ate the fish with the fish bones that he had picked out. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to that day at the mighty general''s manor. He too.


    Today, when she saw his tall and straight figure, she suddenly discovered that she actually thought about him a lot more in her heart.


    Seeing that Qiao Liangjin did not move his chopsticks, Qiao Siyuan seemed to be thinking about something. He lightly pushed Qiao Liangjin''s arm and softly asked, "Big sister, what''s wrong?"


    "Ah?" "Thank you, Siyuan." Qiao Liangjin withdrew his thoughts, smiled, and also put the chicken wings that Jose Yuan liked to eat into his bowl.


    Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er unhappily scooped up the rice in their bowls as they resentfully looked at the two siblings who had deep feelings for each other. That was clearly their own little brother, but why was he so intimate with Qiao Liangjin?


    After returning to the Flowerflower Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin took off his battle uniform set and did a set of yoga in the yard. He then stretched his back and sat down on the swing.


    The weather in the Royal Capital was getting colder and colder. Judging from the weather, it should be snowing tomorrow.


    However, Qiao Liangjin realized that he didn''t seem to be afraid of the cold at all. He was only wearing a thin undergarment and didn''t feel the frigid wind blowing at him.


    Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, she didn''t know who she was waiting for.


    There were light footsteps in the distance. Her heart jumped as she turned to look at the top of the wall.


    The red figure stood at the top of the wall, its wide sleeves fluttering in the fierce wind.


    "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" The clear voice was as clear as ever.


    "I''m just blowing the wind. I haven''t been in the Royal City for a long time." Qiao Liangjin denied.


    She jumped off the wall and walked step by step towards Qiao Liangjin. With every step, it seemed like a lotus flower was blooming. That faint pine scent lingered near the tip of Qiao Liangjin''s nose.


    He bent down, lowered his head, and lifted Qiao Liangjin''s delicate chin, making her look at him. With a smile, he said: "You are really bold, you actually dared to intrude into the Eastern Kingdom''s military camp alone, to get the marshal''s head."


    "I''m not the only one here. There''s also Nan Li."


    "Him? In the message I received, he did nothing but accompany you. "


    "But I gave him the black pot. This time, there are things that can be done in the Southern Kingdom. The Southern Kingdom colluded with Xuanyuan Kingdom. This will be enough to give Nan Li a headache for a while."


    Her clear hands loosened for a moment, but she still said with worry in her voice, "In the future, don''t take any more risks."


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up. Not taking the risk? Life had no meaning. Only by living like this could he remind her of what an outstanding assassin she had once been.


    Her red lips lifted slightly, and her clear throat moved slightly. Without thinking, she pressed her lips against his red lips.


    Qiao Liangjin was astonished. What kind of method was this? She didn''t even greet them and just said they were going to kiss?


    But his lips were so soft, so soft, she greedily licked his lips.


    However, he didn''t expect that it would become an invitation letter. The lips and tongue that were cleared then invaded his teeth in an even more domineering manner.


    After who knows how long, she finally let go of Qiao Liangjin and hugged her to her chest. She stomped on the swinging swing and jumped over the wall.


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice was a little hoarse. "Where are you going?"


    She just smiled and did not reply.


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at the night sky. Soon, he arrived at the Seventh Prince''s Mansion.


    Qiao Liangjin was gently placed on the ground.


    Qing Qing took Qiao Liangjin''s hand and went up to a tower that was built into the backyard.


    Qiao Liangjin followed him quickly up to the fourth floor. He opened the window and praised, "The view here is really wide."


    Su Qing stood behind her and embraced her.


    "Jin''er, oh Jin''er, do you know how worried I am? I''m so worried that someone would build this tower. If one day you still refuse to obey me, I will lock you up in this tower."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, "Then I became the long-haired girl in the fairy tales. If you want to come up and see me, you have to give me back my longevity."


    She turned Qiao Liangjin around and said with a serious expression: "Don''t joke, Jin''er, I''m serious about something."


    Qiao Liangjin also stopped smiling. He sized up the tower and seriously replied: "Do you think this tower can lock me down?"


    The clear voice was somewhat helpless. "Of course not."


    Qiao Liangjin also stopped joking, turned around, pointed outside and said: "I have always been a woman who likes to take risks, and would also like to marry and do some adventurous things. That would make me feel like I''m a living person, I don''t love those schemes."


    "But I have always regarded these eight words as the motto of my life: If people don''t offend me, I won''t offend them."


    Su Qing said anxiously, "I can protect you."


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It''s just me, isn''t it? However, I have more people that I want to protect and you can''t do it. As for me, I can do it with my own ability. "


    He knew the meaning behind Qiao Liangjin''s words. Just like her, he also had a question in his mind ¡ª was the golden-masked man really the emperor''s man?


    When they returned from Shengcheng, Yu Linglong had already requested for marriage three times, but the empress dowager had completely suppressed them.


    The empress dowager also knew his intentions, so she helped him in every way. Only that imperial brother who viewed the world as everything, with his unpredictable personality, might change his mind one day and take back the imperial edict, changing it to bestowing the marriage upon him and Yu Linglong.


    After a moment of silence, he said, "What if I say I can? I can protect your family. Will you agree to stay with me? "From now on, I will be part of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild."


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curved into a perfect smile as he remained silent. His hands rested on the windowsill and his eyes were lowered. The cold wind of early winter was blowing painfully on his face. She believed that at this moment, he was truly willing to protect her.


    He suddenly felt some pain in his heart. He felt heartache for the girl before him. She was strong, and she ignored all dangers. Lin Feng stood there silently. His pursed lips were filled with determination.


    She must not have believed him. He cleared his heart and bitterly smiled. He wanted to hug her. She had strong bones all over her body, so he couldn''t touch her soft heart.


    The two remained silent. Suddenly, they cleared the area and picked up Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin, who wasn''t prepared for Qing Shui''s actions, let out a light "Ya" and wrapped his arm around Qing Qing''s neck. Qing Qing only felt a chill on the back of her neck as she frowned and said, "My hands are already so cold, I must burn the fire dragons here in the future."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly came into Qing Shui''s arms, and a faint pine fragrance assaulted her, it was more intimate and fragrant than ever before. She raised her head to look at Qing Qing''s chin, and a faint green stubble appeared on it. She thought of those male models in the magazines.


    The last time he had lifted her up, she had fallen into the water in the next second. She only felt that he had been sending her true qi all this time, but this time, it was on this kind of early winter night. His arms, his chest, they were all so warm.


    Lying safely in his arms, allowing him to carry her down the tower, she had been struggling internally. Should she pretend to struggle? However, it was really cold outside. She wasn''t an idiot. If she struggled to get down and return home, what if she encountered some assassinations on the way?


    He retracted his hands, crossed his arms over his chest, and silently watched as the man carried him through the Imperial City.


    Even though his hands were clean, the softness and softness of his touch through his clothes was enough to make his heart tremble. He sighed with emotion at the existence of such a woman in this world with such elastic skin. That obese woman was able to make him look at her so highly in such a short period of time.


    He coveted the feeling of this road, and wanted to grasp it for the rest of his life.


    When they arrived at the Golden Flower Pavilion, he gently placed Qiao Liangjin on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed outside and yawned. He then waved his hand and turned around to enter the house.


    He suddenly wanted to switch souls with Yu Sheng. He wanted to go to her side and lie down beside her pillow to hear what she had to say.

 C75 Warm Pavilion for Snow Appreciation

    Returning to the Seventh Marquis Mansion and holding that soul tea in his hand, he unexpectedly had some hesitation as to whether he should drink it or not. The cup rotated in his hand for a long time, but was still placed on the table in the end. He had more important things to do.


    At this very moment, Qiao Liangjin, who was lying on the bed, couldn''t sleep at all. She touched her lips, thinking about that day in the waterway, and thinking about how she had to clean herself up, she knew that she had to face something that she didn''t want to admit to herself. That was, she liked clearing her mind.


    Biting her lower lip, with half of her face already buried under the blanket, she looked at the dark roof, wanting to reject this feeling. He was dangerous, the most unstable factor.


    As she was lost in her thoughts, she tossed and turned until the sun was about to rise before she finally fell asleep.


    It''s snowing," Yusheng shrieked from outside. "It''s snowing, it''s snowing heavily.


    Qiao Liangjin buried his head under the blanket. She had seen snow countless times, so she didn''t feel anything for it. At this moment, she just wanted to have a good night''s sleep.


    The door was pushed open, and with light footsteps, he walked straight to Qiao Liangjin''s bedside. He paused for a moment, but did not make a move.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled up a corner of the blanket and opened his eyes. He saw Ruo Lan holding onto a snow-white robe as she stood beside the bed.


    "What is this?" Qiao Liangjin perked up and sat up, rubbing his eyes as he looked at the robe in Ruo Lan''s hand.


    Ruo Lan gently caressed the skin with her palm and said, "I heard it was the Rex Rabbit''s fur. The Seventh Prince sent someone to deliver it to the Lady. He said the Lady''s hands are too cold. You must take care to keep them warm."


    Qiao Liangjin took the robe made of the skin of the Rex and placed it on his knee. He gently stroked it, and the fur had already been tidied up and not a single strand of fur fell off.


    Ruo Lan stood at the side, her eyes filled with envy. "Miss, the Seventh Prince is really considerate."


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up slightly, but he only made a slight "En" sound.


    He got off the bed and put on the robe. He looked more and more fat, less and thinner, too tailored. It was as if the tailor had made him look like he was wearing it.


    Ruo Lan exclaimed, "Oh god, isn''t that robe a bit too fitting? How can the Seventh Prince be so familiar with the size of a young lady?"


    Qiao Liangjin, who was wearing a robe, stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at him. He smiled, then took off his robe and threw it on the beauty bed. He yawned and laid back down on the bed.


    Ruo Lan tactfully left the room, closing the door behind her. She then stopped Yu Sheng, who was holding onto the Spirit Swirling Swirl, in the courtyard.


    Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes in satisfaction.


    A short while later, the door was pushed open again. Yu Sheng''s voice rang out, "Your father came over just now. He said that Seventh Prince had sent a letter saying that it was early snow. He will come over to invite you to enjoy the snow."


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes and let out a deep sigh. Damn, looks like he was unable to sleep, looking at his panda eyes in the mirror, Qiao Liangjin really wanted to clean himself up. If not for him disturbing her, would she have been able to stay awake all night?


    After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, the servant girl Shui Jia was already waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing Qiao Liangjin, who was wearing a purple and red outfit, stroking his big fat belly as he walked over, a trace of disdain flashed across his face. He respectfully said, "Eldest Miss, everyone has been waiting for you at the Warm Pavilion for a long time."


    Zi Yan had already raised up a Dark Bone Umbrella to cover Qiao Liangjin''s head. She used her hand to support Qiao Liangjin as she said, "Miss, slow down."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and changed his usual crazy look. He looked like a lady from a noble family as he walked towards the Warm Pavilion.


    Not far away, there was a pavilion made of glass. It was said that this pavilion was built by someone when the emperor came to the Prime Minister''s Palace to admire the plum blossoms. On all four sides, glass had been offered from a foreign land, and they called it water mirror.


    Although it was just the beginning of the snow, it was still snowing heavily. By the time Qiao Liangjin arrived at the pavilion, the Dark Bone Umbrella was already covered in snowflakes.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heartbeat actually started to race. He thought that if he gently pushed open the door, he would be able to see that person. For some reason, he felt nervous.


    Before Qiao Liangjin''s hand could reach the door, the water lotus lightly pushed on it.


    When the door opened, Qiao Liangjin looked up and saw that her beautiful face was smiling at him from the corner of her eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and swept his gaze across his face with a gentle gaze. With a smile that was like blossoming peach blossoms, he said, "Greetings, Seventh Prince."


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice had just sounded when he stepped through the door. He immediately frowned as the smell of Zhen Qi assaulted her senses. Only now did she notice that there were already quite a number of people in this small pavilion.


    Whatever she wanted to see, what she didn''t want to see, what she couldn''t avoid, what she didn''t want to see and couldn''t avoid, they were all here.


    Qiao Liangjin gave the purple smoke a hint of color. The door that was about to close was opened by the purple smoke.


    Qiao Ya shuddered. She said with dissatisfaction, "Elder sister, what are you doing? Close the door."


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Qiao Ya who was wearing a muslin dress and lightly smiled. "Little sister, this summer''s dress is showing off here. If you''re not cold, am I?"


    He then waved his hand in front of his nose and asked with a frown, "Dad, don''t you think that the pavilion is too fragrant today?"


    At this moment, Qiao Zheng sneezed at an inopportune moment. Chastity frowned and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was standing at the door unwilling to enter.


    Qiao Ya''s face turned red as she muttered, "You''re fat and you have a lot of fat on you. Of course, you''re not afraid of the cold."


    Su Ming''s face slightly darkened when he heard this mumble. He glanced coldly at Qiao Ya. When Qiao Ya was swept with this gaze, she could not help but shrink her neck and shut her mouth.


    After clearing up, he waved towards Qiao Liangjin and said, "Tianliang, come in quickly. Why aren''t you wearing the Rex Rabbit Robe that I brought over for you?"


    Qiao Liangjin let out a big yawn, untied his cloak, and handed it to Ziyan. He then sat down beside Qiao Zheng with one hand supporting his chin as he replied, "I''m too skinny to wear it."


    Qiao Yue-er, who was at the side, was stunned when she heard this. What did he mean? Hearing this, the Seventh Prince even gave a leather robe to Qiao Liangjin? She gently tugged at Qiao Ya''s sleeve and began to speak towards Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Ya gently pulled back her sleeve. With a charming smile, she walked to Zhen Chong Xin''s side and also sat down. Seeing that they were facing each other, a proper smile should be able to attract the attention of the Seventh Prince.


    Su Qing lightly knocked on the table and pursed her lips. How could he not know what this little girl was thinking? She was just trying to make things difficult for him.


    He clapped his hands, and the guards outside carried their bags into the pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes did not even bother to lift the package as it was placed in front of him. He knew that he had already prepared two moves for it. She waved towards the back, and Zi Yan and Qing Ling walked over and took the bundle into her arms.


    "Aren''t you curious?" Su Chen asked.


    "What''s there to be curious about? If I say you''re skinny, then you must have made a fat one for me. What''s there to be curious about?" Your Highness, if you want to enjoy the plum blossoms, then let''s just hurry up. At this point, Qiao Liangjin even let out a big yawn.


    Looking at the package, Qiao Ya''s heart was filled with jealousy. However, her expression did not change as she asked, "Elder sister, I remember that a month ago, Prince Ning sent over a coral tree. How were you going to deal with it?"


    As she said this, she glanced over at Su Yan. She just wanted to know that the girl in front of her had long accepted the gift from another man.


    How could Qiao Liangjin not know what Qiao Ya was trying to do at this moment? She scratched her nose and said without a care, "It was left in the yard, what''s the matter?"


    "Huh?" A priceless coral tree in the courtyard? Everyone in the room stared dumbstruck at the lazy Qiao Liangjin. They all seemed to believe that she would do this. Qiao Ya was speechless.


    He cleared his throat with a look of understanding as he asked, "Oh? Go and admire the coral tree in the snow. It must have a unique style. "


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Qing Shui. What was this man thinking today? In this pavilion, other than his cheap father, there was no one else he was close to.


    Seeing the greedy look on the faces of uncle Qiao Yifan and his cousin Qiao Zhijun, he tilted his ear and listened attentively to where his treasure was.


    When he looked at Qiao Yue-er again, he saw that she had not moved her gaze from her face.


    Right, where''s that Qiao Ningzi? Why didn''t he see such an occasion where he could be promoted, or that old leftover girl? It was truly strange. Oh, that''s right. She must have fallen for Prince Ning, so there was no need for her to throw herself at him.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the pavilion and landed on Zhen Ying Xin''s face.


    This woman had caused all sorts of problems for the former master of this body, and also caused Qiao Ruo Ying to lose all ability to learn. As a female lord of the Prime Minister''s Estate, she was too quiet.


    Qing Qing saw Qiao Lianjin look over everyone in the pavilion, his eyes landed on Zhen Chong, and was suddenly filled with interest, he felt that he should be able to do something good.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly stood up and walked over to Qing Shui''s side. He grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, walking over to the glass window. He pointed at the snow that was still falling outside and the plum blossoms blooming angrily and said, "See that? Was that a Plum Blossom? Does it look good? "


    Su Qing nodded silently.


    Qiao Liangjin then pointed at the snowflakes on the glass and asked, "This is snowflakes, do you see it?"


    Su Chen nodded his head.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly let go of his hand and said with a smile: "You''ve already rewarded Plum Blossom, and you''ve also rewarded Snowfall. I''ve also accepted the Rex Rabbit Robe, fine, you don''t need me to accompany you the rest." After speaking, like a man, he clasped his hands and bowed. The corners of his robe were lifted, and he turned around and swaggered towards the door.


    By the time everyone had reacted, the protagonist had already left the pavilion, and the snow was already falling further and further away.


    chastity''s face changed drastically. She stood up and quickly apologized, "I''m sorry, Your Highness. Please forgive me. Our Jin''er''s personality ¡­"


    Su Qing raised her hand slightly, indicating that she did not need to explain. She looked at Qiao Liangjin''s figure in the distance, and a smile appeared in the depths of her eyes.

 C76 White Without Disease

    When he returned to the Flowergold Pavilion, Zi Yan opened the robe in his bag and smiled. He shook the robe off and said, "Miss, your highness is really considerate. Look at the robe."


    Leaning lazily on the beauty bed, Qiao Liangjin, who was enjoying reading the recent story written by Cai Dai, glanced at the open Rex Bunny Robe in Zi Yan''s hands and laughed out loud, "This guy really made such a fat robe, and it''s even black. He knows how skinny black it looks."


    Before her laughter had stopped, she heard a voice from the door that made her even more happy: "What are you laughing at?"


    Qiao Liangjin jumped up from the beauty bed with a "Ya" sound and rushed towards the person standing by the door. She threw herself into that person''s embrace and smiled warmly as she raised her head and asked, "Brother, when did you arrive?"


    That person was already covered in snow. He lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin''s flower-like face and smiled as well, "We just arrived at the Golden Flower Pavilion. We wanted to let you know first."


    Dai Di, who was standing to the side, came over with a broom and swept away the snow on Qiao Ruoyin''s body.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand calmly pressed down on Qiao Ruo Ying''s wrist. He then smiled: "Big brother, come. Sit here. It''s snowing heavily today."


    Qiao Ruo Ying turned her head to look at Snowflake outside the door and nodded, then was pulled by Qiao Liangjin to sit at the table.


    Qiao Liangjin called for Ruo Lan to bring the snacks he had prepared in the kitchen, while he poured a cup of hot tea for her.


    Seeing that Qiao Ruo Ying had returned safely was the happiest thing that had happened to her. She was somewhat lonely in this residence that was filled with smoke and miasma.


    Qiao Ruo Ying scratched Qiao Linjin''s nose as usual. She had a doting look and her face looked a little more mature.


    This trip to Shengcheng City was enough for him to grow up for a few years. The sudden feeling of maturity he experienced made Qiao Liangjin feel somewhat unfamiliar.


    Qiao Liangjin propped his chin up with his hands and asked: "Where''s Lingyu?"


    "Time to go back."


    "You didn''t have a lifetime?"


    Qiao Ruo''s handsome eyebrows slightly knitted. She raised her head to look at Qiao Liangjin and asked: "Why did you decide on a lifetime?"


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "It''s the same on stage. Beauty saved the hero, and from then on, they will live happily together."


    "That was just the play on stage. I owe the spiritual jades, but I don''t necessarily have to marry her to repay the debt. She has her responsibilities, and I have mine. " Qiao Ruo Ying''s voice was calm and steady. There was a completely different maturity to her voice.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the Qiao Ruoying in front of him happily. He had grown up and this was what she wanted to see the most. Her brother was finally able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.


    Qiao Liangjin placed his hand on the back of Qiao Ruoyin''s hand and patted it gently. "Relax, big brother. With me here, there is nothing that can''t be solved."


    Qiao Ruo Ying retracted her hand that she had placed on the table. She clenched her fists and shook her head as she sighed. "But now, I am a cripple. All my martial arts are gone."


    This was probably the most painful thing for a man in this era. Without martial arts, it was more painful than death.


    Qiao Liangjin drew circles on the table with his finger and smiled mysteriously: "Big brother, I have something that I need your help with. I don''t need your kung fu."


    After Qiao Liangjin quietly told Qiao Ruo Ying about his plan, Qiao Ruo Ying''s eyebrows relaxed and she smiled. She slapped the table and said: "Little sister, how come I didn''t know you were so cunning before."


    Qiao Liangjin felt a headache coming on as he rubbed his forehead. "Big brother, scheming is a derogatory term. Are you trying to say that I''m so smart?"


    Because of the heavy snow, the sky darkened very quickly. When the purple smoke was lit up, Qiao Liangjin suddenly asked, "Brother, did you go greet the madame and father?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying screamed in pain. She stood up and walked toward the door with big steps.


    It was already dark, but the snow didn''t seem to have any intention of stopping.


    Qiao Liangjin was pacing back and forth in the hallway, occasionally raising his head to look at the snow outside. Suddenly, as if he had made a decision, he said to the servant girl inside the door: "I''m going to the chrysanthemum hall, wait for me here."


    Without waiting for them to say anything, he draped the black shawl over his shoulders and jumped over the wall of the Flowermoney Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin only felt that his lightness skills had reached an outrageous level after the night in the Magnificent Bazaar. In just a few moments, she had arrived at the Chrysanthemum Flower Hall.


    Raising his head and looking at the entire chrysanthemum garden, the dim yellow candle light flickered, and the sound of silk and bamboo pipes could be heard from within.


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth twitched slightly. This really was a good place to get drunk and dream his life out.


    After shaking off the snowflakes on his cloak, Qiao Liangjin entered the guesthouse and walked straight to An Ge''s side. He then placed his slender fingers on An Ge''s wrist.


    An Ge didn''t want to be the one to make a move on her. He frowned and was about to wave his hand when he saw the face in the cloak. He was extremely happy and shouted, "It''s you!"


    Qiao Liangjin blinked and pointed to the second floor.


    An Ge nodded and led her upstairs to the room. An Ge then passed the notebook to Qiao Liangjin and asked worriedly, "Miss, you haven''t appeared for so long. Did something happen? There has been a rumor in the capital that you have contracted a serious illness. "


    Under the candlelight, Qiao Liangjin carefully read the information in the book. He nodded and said, "I went on a long journey and have already returned. How is it? How about Bai Wuya? "


    An Ge''s pupils shrank before he nodded and said, "He''s here. It''s just that he''s been sick for the past few days. I''ve already let the best doctor see it. The doctor said that his innate constitution isn''t good. He can only slowly recuperate."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand that was busy flipping through a book suddenly stopped. He raised his head and asked with a frown, "The last time I came, he was still fine. It''s only been a short while and he''s already sick."


    An Ge could tell that Qiao Liangjin''s words were from his own question. He bit his lips and lowered his head, saying, "He has been waiting for you to come."


    Sighing lightly, she closed the book with her free hand. Qiao Liangjin stood up and asked, "Where is Bai Wu''s room? Take me there."


    An Ge brought Qiao Liangjin to Bai Wu''s room. He knocked lightly on the door, and a voice that sounded like it came from Bai Wu Tian came through the door, "Come in."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt like he was going to explode. Why did he let someone in so casually? Did this person have a sense of security? What if it was a man who liked men? Qiao Liangjin didn''t even dare to imagine that the peerless beauty would be slighted by another man. It was truly terrifying.


    Qiao Liangjin pushed the door open and rushed in with slight anger.


    A purple blanket covered Bai Wu-Shuang in front of her. His face was extremely pale, and the words that were about to fall out of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth were forcefully swallowed back down.


    An Ge quietly closed the door behind him and left.


    A trace of surprise flashed through Bai Wu''s peach blossom eyes as he looked at Qiao Liangjin who had barged in. With a clear and bland voice, he said, "So it''s Miss Qiao. Long time no see."


    Qiao Liangjin carried a stool and sat on the side of the bed. He looked at Bai Wu Yi who was leaning against the bed and asked in concern: "What''s going on? Where is the discomfort? Why does it seem like he''s so sick? Do you want me to find an imperial physician for you to look at? "


    Bai Wu gently shook his head, his expression still as indifferent as before: "It''s alright, I''ve been like this since I was young. Thank you for your concern, Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Liangjin scratched his head and asked: "Aren''t you curious about why I haven''t come over these past few days?"


    Bai Wu shook his head.


    Qiao Liangjin placed his hands on his knees and touched them a few times. Then, he sighed: "Even if you didn''t ask, I still have to tell you. I went to Shengcheng and this matter was a bit urgent, so I didn''t come to bid you farewell. "I came back a few days ago, that''s why I came today."


    "In Miss Qiao''s heart, who exactly is Bai Wuchen?" Bai Wu suddenly asked.


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned, looking at that pale, pure white face, pale as a gardenia swaying in the wind.


    In her heart, she was constantly searching for the word that would describe Bai Wuyi.


    "A soulmate? "No, no, no, Lan Yan''s soulmate?" Qiao Liangjin wondered which word was more appropriate.


    Bai Wushui''s eyes warmed up. She was saying that he was a close friend?


    Qiao Liangjin grinned. "It seems like it. Your personality is indifferent, quiet, and willing to listen to everything I say. I''m willing to trust you, too. "Haha, if it was my era, people like you were qualified to be called Bei Tai."


    Bai Wu asked curiously, "What is Bei Tai?"


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand, blinked his eyes, and smiled again: "Forget it, it''s nothing. After all, it was a very new word. I see that you look a little better now. "


    Bai Wu smiled, "Yes, perhaps it is because of Miss Qiao''s arrival."


    In this world, there was an illness that could not be cured, but could be treated by others.


    It was already late at night when he had chatted and laughed with Bai Wu and shared everything that had happened along the way.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin stand up and apologetically said, "I knew your health was not good, but I still held you back for so long."


    Bai Wu Chen sat up straight and said worriedly, "It''s snowing heavily outside. Miss Qiao, if you go back alone like this, there''s nothing to worry about."


    Qiao Liangjin clenched his fist and took a very strong stance. He smiled and said, "I am also very strong. There is no one who can block my path."


    Only then did Bai Wu Yi lean back against his pillow and nod his head, his clear eyes brimming with happiness, "Next time, useless trash! Green Calyx will play a song for the little miss!"


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly approached Bai Wu, felt something from his sleeve and placed it beside Bai Wu''s pillow, then turned around and left the room.


    When Bai Wuzhi touched that thing, she suddenly smiled like a rising star in the horizon.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to leap over the wall, he saw a black shadow squatting over it.


    Without even thinking, she aimed her foot towards the black shadow.


    "Why are you always so rude whenever I see you?" The black shadow grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s foot and sighed.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows raised and his voice was filled with dissatisfaction. What are you doing here again? "


    Nan Li let go of Qiao Liangjin''s feet and continued to squat on the wall. "It''s not a good way to treat guests in this cold weather to let this king squat on the wall and talk to you."


    "But this lord''s house just likes it when strange men come in. If I were to say right here, I would be busy going back to bed." Qiao Ruo Ying also followed Nan Li and squatted on the wall.

 C77 Anger Extremely Infuriated

    Hmm, from this angle, he could really see his own door. If he was quieter, he would be able to hear the conversation between Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan in the room.


    "The emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom already knows that this king and Nangong are here. Furthermore, Nangong is preparing to meet the emperor in two days." Nan Li''s voice sounded very worried.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t think that this matter had anything to do with him. It would have been the best if that old man had taken a fancy to Nangong. He then forcefully married her and was angered to death by her on the throne.


    "You also know that ever since you met the Seventh Prince in the Southern Palace, you''ve always been thinking about him." Nan Li realized that Qiao Lianjin didn''t seem to want to know what he wanted to say, so he could only continue.


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows twitched twice.


    "This King guesses that Nangong might ask the Emperor to bestow the marriage upon him. Do you think that I should follow Nangong and ask for the imperial edict?"


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth twitched. No matter how he listened to this matter, this was something that he wanted to do.


    Nan Li pushed Qiao Liangjin''s arm and asked: "What color clothes do you think I should wear to meet the emperor?"


    "Get lost!"


    Suddenly, from the top of the wall, a lion-like roar could be heard. Then, from outside the wall, there was a "dong" sound, and a heavy sound of something falling onto the ground could be heard.


    Qiao Liangjin''s door opened as Yu Sheng pulled Spirit Swirls along with him as he stood at the doorway, looking in the direction of the commotion.


    Qiao Liangjin jumped down from the wall and walked towards the door angrily. He pulled the two goblins into the room and slammed the door shut.


    Outside the wall, in the thick snow, Nan Li was grinning from ear to ear. He truly liked this woman''s temperament. The more fierce her temperament was, the more he wanted to conquer her.


    Lu Li, who was standing on the fake mountain, sneezed. He wiped his nose and wrote on the paper using the silver snow: "Two days later, Nan Li and Nangong are going to ask for marriage from the Emperor, and you, the King, are going to be proposed to the Emperor. Nan Li, alas, this person is obviously younger than me, so why does he use the same character as me?"


    After he finished writing, he blew on the whistle a few times. A short shadow flew over from not far away. Lu Li handed the letter to him and solemnly said, "You must hand it over to the king in the morning before he goes to court."


    With that, he shook his head and said: "This Qiao Liangjin has such a cold nature and such a big temper. I really don''t know what the Prince likes about her."


    Qiao Liangjin closed the door and looked at Yu Sheng with an ashen face.


    Yuesheng was alarmed as he bit his finger and tried his best not to do anything out of line. He was also wearing a set of clothes made out of makeup and did not use the Spirit Swirling Whip to bully her. However, why was Qiao Liangjin''s expression so ugly?


    Qiao Liangjin leaned against the door, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed himself down. He asked: "It''s already so late, what are you two doing without sleep? "Don''t even mention waiting for me to come back, you''ve never had such a heart and lungs before."


    Yu Sheng''s almond-shaped eyes darted around for a bit before he grinned and pulled Qiao Liangjin towards the beauty''s bed. After pushing her down, he pulled Spirit Swirl in front of Qiao Liangjin and answered honestly, "I just went to Prince Ning''s mansion."


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and asked doubtfully, "Why are you going to Prince Ning''s mansion? Do you know who you''ve drawn in? "


    Yu Sheng shook his head in confusion. How could he know what kind of person he would attract? He had transformed into a silver fox and went to the Ning Wang Manor. Coincidentally, no one would notice him even in such a snowstorm.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his chin and pointed outside, saying: "Nan Li squatted on the wall for a long time, I don''t believe that he wasn''t tempted by you guys. Especially you, Yu Sheng. "


    Yu Sheng lowered his head in a slightly annoyed manner. The Spirit Swirl beside him quickly replied, "Brother Yu Sheng went to ask Prince Ning for pills for me."


    "Oh? "Then is Prince Ning here?" Qiao Liangjin asked coldly.


    Yuesheng shook his head and retrieved a bag from his waist and poured out a few pills. He passed them to Qiao Liangjin and said, "Even though Prince Ning is not here, he still has some of these pills in his box. I wonder if it will have any effect on the Spirit Swirls. "


    Qiao Liangjin placed the pill at the tip of his nose and sniffed it. A sweet fragrance assaulted his nostrils as he nodded and passed the pill to Yu Sheng, "This is edible, but I don''t know what its specific effects are. If it''s a poison, you ask me."


    Yu Sheng placed the pill back into his bag. After a moment of thought, he poured out another pill and handed it over to Spirit Swirl. He said, "Eat one first. It''s not poison, so it shouldn''t have any effect on your body."


    Without even thinking about it, he raised his head and swallowed the pill into his stomach. When Qiao Liangjin saw how much the Spirit Swirl trusted Yu Sheng, he could not help but shake his head and smile, "You''re really an honest and foolish kid. What if I give you poison?"


    The Spirit Swirl looked at Yusheng in trust and said, "Brother Yusheng will never hurt me."


    Yuesheng raised his head proudly and patted his chest. "That''s true. Don''t worry. My magic will become better and better in the future. I will definitely become the strongest Fox Demon King."


    Hearing the words "King of Fox Demons", Qiao Liangjin''s interest was piqued. He instantly threw Nan Li, who was still lying in a daze on the outside of the wall, out of the ninth heaven and asked, "Is the King of Fox Demons very powerful? Is it that once you make a move, the heavens and earth will be moved?"


    Yu Sheng pursed his lips as he looked at the excited Qiao Lianjin. He thought to himself that if he was truly that powerful, he would have been able to find a trace of him by now.


    He shook his head and said with a sigh, "He is a Nine-tailed Demon Fox, and his magic power is very high. When I was very young, I saw his back from afar, and it was very thin and tall, as if it was emitting an extraordinary light. Our fox-demons seem to be getting fewer and fewer. "


    Qiao Liangjin stroked his chin and said somewhat sorrowfully: "It sounds like a very sad story."


    Yuesheng stared into Qiao Liangjin''s eyes and said angrily, "Where is the sadness in your eyes? No matter how I look at it, you are daydreaming about what kind of beautiful man our Fox King is!"


    Qiao Liangjin seemed like he had been hit hard by Yuesheng''s words. He chuckled and threw his jacket to the side and lay down on his bed.


    As for Yu Sheng, he pulled Spirit Swirls onto his beauty bed. When he turned around, he had the appearance of a silver fox. His body curled up as he lay on the bed.


    Before he could fall asleep, he heard Qiao Liangjin''s heavy breathing. Yu Sheng grunted. He covered his face with his tail.


    Nan Li, who was lying on the snowy ground outside Flower Gold Pavilion, was finally able to confirm that the heartless woman wouldn''t come back and look at him. Only then did he get up dejectedly.


    He stared at the snow-white wall for a while, then put on his cape and hat and left.


    On the fake mountain, Lu Li fished out a small stove from his sleeve and said to himself with some heartache, "If I don''t want to go to the Drifting Cloud Villa to forge my sword, I''ll have to fight in the wind and snow here. Sigh, my heart isn''t bitter, but my life is bitter."


    Within a few days, Qiao Ruoyin received a reward from the Emperor for her royal decree. In just a few days, the matchmaker was on the verge of breaking through the threshold of the Prime Minister''s Estate.


    The portraits of all the rich and young ladies were displayed on Qiao Liangjin''s desk.


    Qiao Ruo Ying looked at her sister with a bitter face as she appraised the portrait of beauty with relish.


    I can see that this young lady looks pretty good. In such a round area, she looks very blessed, just that her eyes aren''t too big. In the future, if she has children, she''ll look like you, but like her ¡­ "Ai, forget it, let''s change it."


    Qiao Liangjin threw a painting scroll to the side and unfurled it again. He laughed, "Aiyo, there''s no such thing as a beautiful painting in this era, but Master really dares to paint. His breasts are like a human chest!"


    Qiao Ruo Ying took the painting from Qiao Liangjin''s hand and threw it on the ground. She frowned and asked: "Little sister, are you mocking me? "Now that I have already reported to the Emperor, I will no longer be an official in the imperial court."


    He shook his head and picked up another painting. He unfurled it slowly and said with a smile on his face, "Big brother, why are you in such a hurry? Let''s take a look at the map of beauties first. As for other things, I''ve already made arrangements."


    Following that, he looked at the beauty in his hands and couldn''t help but cover his mouth as he continued to wave his hands, allowing the maids who were busy cleaning to admire him.


    Qiao Ruo Ying knew that Qiao Liangjin had always had his own ideas, and thus she couldn''t do anything about it. She could only raise her head and sigh as she left the house to wander around.


    Just as he stepped out of the residence, he saw an extravagant carriage stop in front of the residence. A beautiful servant girl opened the door and asked in a melodious voice, "Has the residence arrived?"


    The servant girl respectfully held Su Su''s hand and said, "Princess, we''re here. I''ve already asked Yang Si to pass them down."


    Qiao Ruo Ying retreated and hid behind the door. In the entire kingdom, there was no one other than the gentle and elegant princess, who else could it be other than Yu Linglong? But what was strange was that the Prime Minister''s Estate and the Princess''s Estate had never had any interactions. Why was this woman here?


    As he thought of this, he turned around and headed to the Golden Flower Pavilion. A voice told him that he had to inform Qiao Liangjin of this matter.


    Qiao Liangjin saw that Qiao Ruo Ying had just left and came back. She raised the picture scroll in her hand and said, "Big brother, look at him. He looks a little similar to Ling Yu."


    Qiao Ruo Ying didn''t even look at the painting and just threw it on the ground and said in a low voice, "Yu Ling Long is here."


    "Who?" Qiao Liangjin did not react immediately.


    "Princess Linglong is here. She just arrived at the door." Qiao Ruo Ying gestured with his hand.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin remember the jade Linglong that day at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, which was sinister and spicy.


    The corner of her lips curled up slightly as she told Pai Dai to keep the painting properly. She smiled and said, "Let''s go and see what kind of show will be put on today."

 C78 Bring Message

    Just as he was packing up his things, Ah Kuan''s voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Seventh Prince requests an audience."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows raised. He felt that this was a little interesting. This Yu Linglong should know that the Seventh Prince was coming, right?


    "Where is the Seventh Prince?"


    "At the entrance of the Golden Flower Pavilion ¡­ The old master is also at the door, and so is Princess Yu Linglong. " Ah Kuan paused before replying.


    Qiao Liangjin clapped his hands and looked at his own room. He then smiled in satisfaction and said: "Then we''ll have to invite them in."


    Qiao Liangjin was standing in the long corridor at the door. He was wearing a bright red cloak. The red cloak made her face look especially rosy.


    The first time Yu Ling saw her, she felt uncomfortable. Qiao Liangjin was standing on top of the stairs, looking down at her disdainfully. Why didn''t he notice that she was such a woman last time? Even though she was fat, even though her face looked ridiculous and bloated, she exuded a kind of natural nobility and haughtiness.


    Yu Ling''s hand was slightly curled up, allowing her fingertip to pierce her palm.


    Qiao Liangjin leaned against the pillar of the long corridor and smiled, "I wonder what the wind is blowing today. My little Golden Flower Pavilion has received so many distinguished guests."


    Under the clean cloak, he wore a black embroidered robe with a faint red embroidery. When he walked, the robe seemed to be just like a shadow.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at how she was clearing her red lips and white teeth, and sighed in his heart. This guy, why did he look so good the more he looked? He said that lipstick is a woman''s aphrodisiac, why does she feel that this man in front of her is the real aphrodisiac?


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and sighed in his heart.


    Qiao Zheng beckoned with his hand and Qiao Liangjin hurriedly walked down the stairs with heavy steps. He slammed heavily into Qiao Zheng''s arms and said in a spoiled manner, "Father, you''re here."


    Yu Ling slightly frowned. It was as if he wanted to stay away from Qiao Liangjin.


    Su Qing then flashed to Qiao Zheng''s side, a smile that was not a smile appearing on his face as he asked softly, "The robe I gave you, is it appropriate for you to wear it?"


    Qiao Zheng hurriedly patted Qiao Liangjin''s thick back and said, "Hurry and greet the Seventh Prince and the princess."


    Qiao Liangjin was also very obedient. He had a clever body as he said, "Greetings, Prince and Princess."


    Yu Linglong only snorted but did not answer.


    He then walked towards Qiao Liangjin''s room with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he asked: "Where are the two children?"


    Qiao Liangjin, Qiao Zheng, and Qiao Ruo Ying were stunned. No one had expected that Qing Qing would actually ask about the matters of the two children.


    Yu Linglong stopped walking, hesitantly looking at the three stiff people, then looking at the man who walked straight into the room, she thought to herself, "What''s going on?"


    Qiao Liangjin let out a light sigh. "I went out to play."


    They went into the room together. Su Qingqing was already standing in front of the desk. She unrolled the picture scroll on Qiao Liangjin''s desk and asked, "Did you draw all of this?"


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin''s heart was filled with ten thousand f * cking thoughts. Wasn''t this ancient times? Wasn''t this ancient times? Why was this person so familiar with everything? Why didn''t he do anything he wanted to do? What happened to the appearance of the prince? What happened to the nobleness and desolation that they said? Where did they all go?!


    Qiao Liangjin took another deep breath and forced out a smile. He walked over quickly and put away the painting in his hand and smiled: "Your Highness, please sit here. This is my room. I already gave you a lot of face, so don''t let me kick you out later."


    She was stunned for a moment. This Qiao Liangjin was able to say such a long series of words in one breath. He could feel that there was a faint anger in her heart.


    Yu Linglong''s eyes were filled with amusement as she quickly walked over and snatched the painting from Qiao Liangjin''s hands. She then opened her mouth and said, "This princess would like to see ¡­"


    The moment the painting was opened, Yu Linglong closed her mouth and swallowed the mocking tone in her mouth.


    In the painting, a beautiful man was playing the zither. Simple and uncomplicated lines outlined the man''s impeccable appearance. She had always thought that clearing up would make one a celestial being, but she didn''t expect that the man in the painting would also be like an immortal.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his chin and quietly waited for Yu Linglong''s question. Unexpectedly, she gently put the painting down and pursed his lips into a smile. "Is this really Miss Qiao''s Mo Bao?"


    Qiao Liangjin gestured for Pink to put away the scroll and said, "My room is too small, you two are too big. Why don''t we move to the hall? I presume that a lot of people in our residence have already prepared themselves to meet you. "


    He knew that she was chasing him away, so he smiled and signaled to the guard at the door who came in with a plate.


    Qiao Liangjin asked curiously, "What is that?"


    "Some children''s clothes, for the two children." Su Qingqing still had a calm appearance.


    Qiao Liangjin had already killed the entire scene a few hundred times. He was afraid that no one else would know, right? This cheap old man was really happy.


    It was the second time that Yu Linglong heard the word ''child''. She was even more confused. She looked up at the four people, but none of them seemed to want to say anything.


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and sent an order for them to leave: "I''m fat and easily doze off. If you have anything to do, go to the main hall and chat. Oh right, Princess, is there something you need?"


    Only then did Yu Linglong remember why she was here. She took out a letter from her sleeve and said, "Today, the Southern Kingdom''s princess, Nangong and the Sixth Prince, Nan Li, came to the Imperial City. South Li requests for an imperial decree to be given to you and the Sixth Prince."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes didn''t even blink. If she really wanted to place an imperial edict on him, then she must be carrying a letter with her to pass the message. Why couldn''t she, a princess, come over to deliver a message?


    He casually took the letter from Yu Linglong''s hand and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "Then, thank you very much, Princess."


    Qiao Zheng''s mind was in chaos. He had proposed marriage in Ning Xi, purged his mind of this proposal, and now there was this Nan Li again. Since when did his daughter become so popular?


    He couldn''t help but straighten his chest. No matter what, for his daughter to be chased by such an outstanding character, it naturally meant that she was outstanding.


    Qiao Ruo Ying looked at the people before her with her mouth agape. The thing that Qiao Zheng could not react to was the Book of Heaven.


    Yu Linglong thought that Qiao Liangjin was either overjoyed or just crying and crying. She didn''t expect that she was acting like nothing had happened. All she had to do was say thank you and that would be it.


    Clearing his mind did not seem to be surprised by Qiao Liangjin''s reaction. The reason he came today was to find an excuse to see her. The excuse of giving clothes to the child was extremely clumsy, but it was to Qiao Zheng''s liking.


    He already knew about what Yu Linglong had told him a few days ago in the letter that Lu Li had sent to him. Now, Yu Linglong had come to deliver the message, obviously to provoke Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Lianjin could not wait any longer to give the order for the guests to leave. Qiao Zheng was already smiling brightly as he invited Yu Linglong and Qing Qing out of the restaurant.


    The reason for Qiao Zheng''s happiness was simple, he did not reject children and that was good news.


    Leaving the restaurant, he cleaned himself up and bid farewell to Qiao Zheng. He said that he still had matters to attend to and prepared to leave the residence.


    Just as he stepped out of the gates of the residence, Yu Linglong blocked his path.


    She lowered her head to look at the girl in front of her and stopped her steps. She asked, "What is it?"


    "What is a child? Do you really like this fatty? " Yu Ling asked straightforwardly.


    The expression on his face was very faint, without any hint of joy or anger. His tone was the same as his own, "This has nothing to do with you, princess."


    Yu Linglong panicked and said, "We grew up together, you said you would take care of me, why can''t you tell me?" As he said this, he coughed several times and his face flushed red.


    He cleared his face and stared at Yu Ling''s face until she stopped coughing. Then, he turned his body to the side and flashed past her. In the next second, he was in his carriage.


    The guard immediately raised his horsewhip and made a resounding whip sound in the air. The carriage then slowly left the gates of the manor.


    Leaving only Yu Ling standing in the cold wind, her eyes were filled with tears, but she was still spinning and did not fall.


    The servant girl by her side, Jadechild, held onto Yu Linglong and said softly, "Princess, Tianhan ¡­"


    "Pa!" Yu Linglong landed a heavy slap on Bi Yu''s face. She gave her a fierce glare and said angrily, "Look at the Seventh Prince, isn''t he very good-looking? My eyes never left him. Your two moves don''t want them anymore."


    When Bi Yu heard this, she panicked and kneeled at the door. She kowtowed again and again and began to cry in a small voice, "Princess, princess, this servant was wrong. This servant will never dare to do this again ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s lazy voice came from behind the door, "What''s going on? You were making a ruckus at our door. Oh, Princess, you haven''t left yet. I saw that the Prince has already left. Aren''t you rushing over?"


    Qiao Liangjin originally wanted to go to Luo Yuan Tower to eat tea, but when he walked to the door, he met Yu Linglong, who was teaching her a lesson.


    This woman was really cruel. It was just that after seeing her for a few moments, she wanted to dig out her opponent''s eyes. Then, he had touched her for a while. Was she going to chop him into pieces?


    Yu Linglong looked coldly at Qiao Liangjin, who was leading the six of them out, and said, "Forget it, I will let you off today. Let''s go."


    Qiao Liangjin quickly waved his hand. "Goodbye, Princess. Don''t poke holes in my tricks, I''ll talk to Seventh Prince later. When he sees that your servant girl is no longer around, he might have a bad impression of you."


    Yu Ling who was about to get on the carriage stopped and laughed coldly. She looked at the jade girl beside her and said softly, "Today is your lucky day."


    Bi Yu quickly kneeled on the ground and kept on kowtowing. "This servant will never dare to do this again."

 C79 Upper Floor of Luo Yuan

    When Yu Linglong got on the carriage, Bi Yu looked at Qiao Liangjin with gratitude and nodded slightly.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, waved his hand and climbed into the covered chariot. He then waved his hand and said, "Come, let''s go to Luo Yuan Tower for dinner!"


    After getting on the carriage, Qiao Lianjin''s indifferent expression disappeared, and his bright face sunk. This Yu Linglong was really not an arrogant person. She actually dared to commit murder in front of the Prime Minister''s mansion.


    Thinking about the people who had blocked her in the alleyway that day, she boldly came up with a thought. Could it be that it was this person that Yu Linglong had found?


    However, this Yu Linglong was very cunning. Just relying on the chrysanthemum palace, she would not be able to find out a woman''s secret, especially this extremely scheming Yu Linglong. She wanted to clean herself up, so she naturally wouldn''t go to that fireworks place.


    Therefore, he let Qiao Ruo Ying take care of the matter of the teahouse without delay.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin was thinking about this, the horse carriage suddenly stopped. Qiao Liangjin asked in a low voice, "Have we arrived at Luo Yuan Tower?"


    Zi Yan''s voice transmitted to the carriage. "Sixth Prince, South Asunder has blocked the carriage."


    Qiao Liangjin was silent for a moment before saying, "Push it over."


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice wasn''t loud, but it wasn''t small either. Nan Li had sharp ears, so when he heard this, he laughed: "Miss Qiao, you''re really ruthless. If I were to be your husband in the future and you push me over, I would be missing an arm and a leg, would you like that?"


    Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly said in a high-pitched voice, "Why aren''t you rushing over?"


    The carriage suddenly sped up. Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting inside, smiled happily as he thought about how Nanli had dodged to the side.


    All of a sudden, the door was pushed open and a shadow flashed into the carriage. He sat beside Qiao Liangjin, and said with an indescribable charm: "How can you bear to injure this king?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes didn''t even move. She thought that he would at most avoid her, but she didn''t think that he would be so thick-skinned as to run into her carriage.


    "Hmm?" The voice was as charming as ever, but his fingers were swiftly resting on the back of Qiao Liangjin''s hand.


    In the next second, a silver needle appeared in Qiao Liangjin''s hand and pierced into that finger.


    The owner of the finger suddenly retracted his finger and said with some resentment, "I''ve really never seen such a malicious woman like you."


    Qiao Liangjin finally opened his eyes and looked at the angry man in front of him with an expressionless face.


    Nan Li removed the silver needle from his hand and gave it to Qiao Liangjin. Then, he smiled and stretched out the back of his hand. "If you still want to continue, then continue. This king will endure it."


    Qiao Liangjin groaned. Indeed, in every era, there were people like this who deserved to be abused.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped the needle. He carefully hid it in his sleeve and said, "I am tired."


    Nan Li laughed heartily as he leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "Nangong is going to clean up. I can only come to find you. Go to Luo Yuan Tower for a meal, I''ll treat you to a meal."


    Qiao Liangjin pursed his lips and smiled. It was an especially spring smile. "Thank you so much."


    This smile made Nan Li''s face twitch slightly. The next second, he thought to himself, this woman is definitely going to think of something to make me suffer.


    When they reached Luo Yuan Tower, Qiao Liangjin asked for a large room as she dragged herself up the stairs. Every time she climbed a flight of stairs, the wooden steps creaked, causing the customers eating downstairs to feel nervous. They were afraid that this woman might break the stairs.


    The waiter led Qiao Liangjin into the largest room. Qiao Liangjin didn''t even look at the menu as he raised two of his fingers and said, "Therefore, I want two portions of the most expensive and delicious dishes. Oh right, I want the best wine."


    With that, he sat down at the table. The waiter quickly poured two cups of tea and left.


    In the huge room sat Qiao Liangjin and Nan Li. Nan Li looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked, "Why do you dress up like this?"


    Qiao Liangjin was bored out of his mind. He knocked the table with his chopsticks and said, "Warm."


    "¡­"


    Nan Li sighed. Her thoughts were indeed something he couldn''t keep up with even if he spent his entire life there.


    The dishes on the second floor of the restaurant were faster than Qiao Liangjin had expected. Not long later, all the dishes were placed on the table in pairs.


    Nan Li made a gesture of invitation: "Please, Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the table that was full of food and sighed, "Tell me, if you weren''t here, how happy would my three female servants, myself, and the three guards be?"


    The corner of Nan Li''s mouth twitched. No matter how many places he traveled to, beauties would surround him no matter where he went. But now, this woman in front of him actually felt that he was unnecessary!


    Nan Li put down his chopsticks and sighed as well. "It was this king''s negligence. But this king doesn''t like to eat with others. What should I do?"


    Just as he finished speaking, Nangong''s gentle voice came from outside the door, "Big Brother, are you there?"


    Before Nan Li could reply, the door was pushed open and Nangong, who was dressed in yellow, stood in front of the door.


    He looked at the table full of delicious food and the bloated Qiao Liangjin.


    The expression in Nangong''s eyes changed. He suddenly laughed, "Oh my god. Qiao Liangjin, are you poisoned? How did you do it? How are you so fat?"


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t seem to mind her mockery at all. He picked up a piece of fish and put it on his plate, saying without even lifting his head, "Yeah, as long as you and your brother aren''t here, I''ll eat very happily. I''ll eat a lot, and then I''ll get fat."


    Nangong''s smile suddenly stopped. He did not get a single point from Qiao Liangjin''s side. She walked in angrily and sat down at the table.


    Qiao Liangjin was still focused on eating the fish on the plate, but Nangong didn''t feel awkward at all. Perhaps she had experienced this kind of thing in the Southern Kingdom, and didn''t need to pay attention to the expressions of others or look at their faces as she continued: "I just came out of the palace a while ago, I saw that the emperor meant that I am more suited to the Seventh Prince, but I don''t think that Miss Qiao is worthy of my Sixth Brother."


    Qiao Liangjin was focused on picking out the fish bones from within the fish. What did he mean by this? Was he announcing to the world that she was going to take over and clean up the mess? Then find a place for him to slip out?


    Nan Gong looked at Nan Li and said with a pained tone: "It''s really strange that my Sixth Brother would fall for you. Look at you eating like a pig, I really can''t understand what my Sixth Brother is doing, was it you who gave him the Gu? "


    Qiao Liangjin''s chopsticks froze. The atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate. He could not bear to see her like this, so there was no need to mock her.


    "When I came to the capital, I heard that you knew how to use Gu. Many nobles in the capital are dead set on you. Miss Qiao, if my sixth brother marries you in the future, you must behave yourself."


    "As the imperial concubine of our Southern Kingdom, it doesn''t matter if you have a face or not, but you must have a woman." As the imperial concubine of our Southern Kingdom, it doesn''t matter if you have a face or not, but you must have a woman.


    Qiao Liangjin''s chopsticks continued to stir in the fish in front of him as if he was enjoying his meal even more than before.


    Facing this kind of cotton, how could she not respond? Nangong became anxious and he could not help but blurt out, "A woman like you who''s famous in the outside world ¡­"


    "I know what you want to say, you want me to just leave the Seventh Marquis behind, leave your brother behind, and leave this capital city at the best." I know what you want to say, you want me to leave the Seventh Marquis behind, leave your brother behind, and leave your brother behind.


    "What do you mean?" Nangong heard Qiao Liangjin speak, but when he heard those words, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he listened to them.


    I''ve already said that you don''t understand, but it''s better to eat instead. You don''t want to go home after eating so much, yet you came to Xuanyuan Kingdom to shamelessly demand that the imperial edict be married to another man. Your father must have known about your actions and wished he could have given birth to you and drowned you in a bucket of urine ¡­


    "You ¡­" Nangong''s eyes instantly turned red. He looked grievingly at Nan Li, wanting to say something to his sixth brother.


    He didn''t expect Nan Li to laugh so hard that he almost lost his voice. This was the woman he admired, the one who took every step carefully and wouldn''t let him fall into a difficult situation. At any time, she would fall into his trap.


    Nan Li raised his chopsticks and pointed at the food on the table. "Nan Gong, stop messing around. Hurry up and eat. "Miss Qiao did not provoke you either."


    Commissar Minamiya raised his chopsticks in grievance, but Qiao Liangjin had already put down his chopsticks and quickly walked to the door. He opened it and shouted to the waiter outside, "Prepare the boxes of food, I will be taking the rest of the dishes with me."


    He then turned to face South Li and smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness. I''m full. My servant girl didn''t even eat. I''ll take the rest of the food with me."


    Nangong''s expression turned extremely ugly, causing Violet Smoke Powder to laugh all the way back.


    Nan Li patted Nangong''s shoulder and said in a deep voice, "You''re still young and haven''t reached the level of being able to fight with that demoness. Don''t even mention you, I''m not her match."


    Nangong''s eyes reddened. She refused to accept it and said, "Why? Why is she so ugly, so fat, and so arrogant?"


    Nan Li stood up and walked over to the window. He opened it with his palm and looked down at the carriage as it slowly moved away. He said in a low voice, "Because she is outstanding."


    Nangong walked to Nan Li''s side, and tightly pulled up the window that Nan Li had pushed open. He muttered in dissatisfaction: "It''s so cold, why are you still looking at her?"


    Suddenly, he looked at Nan Li as if he had just discovered a new continent. He asked in surprise: "Ah! Sixth brother, you can''t really have fallen for that fatty, right? "No, no, no, she''s so sharp-tongued, I don''t like it."


    Nan Li was also stunned. He had always felt that he admired that girl more and more, but he had never thought about whether he liked her or not. After being exposed by Nangong today, his heart suddenly started beating like a drum.

 C80 Heartbeat Returning to the Mansion

    Qiao Liangjin was sitting in the carriage with a gloomy face. Originally, she didn''t have any hostility towards Southern Palace, but she wasn''t a soft persimmon that anyone could take advantage of. Yet, Nangong had actually provoked her. This meant that she was still too kind. She could not be idle. She had to find something for Nangong to do.


    Thinking that Nangong must have sneaked out from the Southern Kingdom, Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up into a mocking smile. He opened the curtain and her cherry lips slightly parted. She softly said, "Lu Li."


    A figure instantly appeared beside Ah Kuan, who was driving the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin did not open the door curtain but instead gave an order in a neither loud nor low voice, "Find a way to send a message to the Southern Kingdom. Tell them that the Southern Kingdom''s Princess Nangong is in Xuanyuan Kingdom."


    Lu Li cupped his hands and said, "Roger that." And then, he flew out of the carriage.


    When Lu Li''s letter reached the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion, a warm smile appeared on Hong Liang who was pouring tea on the side. He almost couldn''t believe his eyes.


    She had served him for so many years, but she had never seen him smile like this before. She calmly carried a cup of tea and walked to his side, wanting to see what could make the cold-faced prince smile.


    After clearing up the mess, he put away the letter and slightly opened up some distance. He frowned as he looked at Hong Liang.


    Hong Lingtong knew that he had already walked past the boundaries of cleanliness. He hurriedly placed the teacup in his hand on the table before kneeling on the ground. He said somewhat fearfully, "My apologies, Your Highness ¡­"


    "Hongliang, on account of the fact that you''ve been with me for so many years, I, the King of Japan, am not going to mind." However, if there is a next time, Hong Liang, you can go home. " How could he not know what Hong Liang meant by suddenly closing in on him?


    Hong Ye was already panicking as his eyes reddened. He kowtowed continuously in apology, "Prince, please spare this servant. This servant will never dare to do it again ¡­"


    Su Chen waved his hand, signaling Hong Liang to go down. He was currently in a good mood because this was the first time that Qiao Liangjin had used his secret guard today. This was an improvement.


    Originally, Nan Gong was annoyed and wanted to send a message to the Southern Kingdom. He did not expect the two of them to come up with the same idea. Then, he felt that he really had a connection with Qiao Liangjin.


    According to the secret guard, Ning Xi had returned to the Southern Kingdom. After the Eastern country''s commander, Ma Ji, had been beheaded by Qiao Liangjin, Ma Ji''s daughter had reported that she had left the Southern Kingdom to help the Kingdom of Xuanyuan. The Eastern country''s emperor was furious, so he took back the troops stationed at the border of Xuanyuan and headed south to write a letter of war.


    He turned around and looked at the portrait behind him. In the portrait, there was a woman looking at him from the fence, her slightly tilted face, her perfect thin chin hooked up, her pride and respect written all over the paper. Her index finger moved across the portrait''s face, the corner of her lips slightly tracing a perfect curve, and her eyes showed more and more appreciation.


    When he returned to the Prime Minister''s Estate, it was already close to evening. The sky was filled with dense dark clouds. Qiao Liangjin tightened the cloak on his body. It seemed that another stretch of snow was about to fall.


    Before he could even get to the Golden Flower Pavilion, a timid voice called out from behind him, "Big sis ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s memory had always been quite good. He turned around with a faint smile and called out, "Xinting, you''re back?"


    A group of purple figures jogged up to Qiao Liangjin from behind. They lifted their slightly red faces from the cold and smiled: "Big sister, I''ve been waiting for you here for a long time."


    Qiao Liangjin quickly grabbed Qiao Xinting''s hands and felt a warm grip on her small, cold hands. He frowned and asked: "Why are you waiting for me here? It was so cold. Where is your servant girl? "


    Qiao Xinting''s servant, Ah Qing, quickly ran over and knelt in front of Qiao Liangjin. Before she even opened her mouth, her voice was already sobbing, "Yes ¡­" "My apologies, eldest miss, this servant ¡­"


    "Big Sis, don''t blame her. I insisted on waiting for your return." Qiao Xinting hurriedly explained to Ah Qing.


    Qiao Liangjin''s greatest headache was the ancients'' habit of kneeling down without a word. While pulling Qiao Xinting along, he said, "Hurry and get up, the sky is freezing and the earth is freezing. Don''t kneel down too easily from now on."


    Ah Qing quickly stood up, wiping the corners of her eyes, and obediently followed behind the crowd.


    She explained in a low voice, "Miss doesn''t like people kneeling to her. If anything happens in the future, you can just get lucky." Also, where is your Young Miss'' warm hand stove? "


    A''Qing looked to be about fifteen years old. Perhaps it was because she had stayed too long in the mountains, but her skin was slightly dark. Hearing Pasture''s question, she awkwardly pinched the corner of her jacket and replied, "We''ve never had that thing ¡­"


    Dai Di blinked, her face full of shock. Although Qiao Xinting and her daughter were not highly regarded, they did not even have a warm hand stove for winter. This was something inconceivable.


    Qiao Xinting followed Qiao Lianjin back to the Golden Flower Pavilion. The moment the door was pushed open, a wave of heat hit her face. Qiao Xinting''s face, which was originally red from the cold, turned even redder.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled Qiao Xinting into the room and had her boil a pot of ginger soup to drive away the cold.


    Qiao Liangjin''s room was decorated simply and generously, but all the materials used were extremely exquisite. Other than its exquisite quality, it was also exquisite. Even the flowers on the yellow pear wood dressing table seemed to be real.


    Qiao Liangjin knew that Qiao Xinting was sizing up his room, so he too smiled and asked Rulan, "Where''s Yu Sheng and Spirit Swirl?"


    Ruo Lan put Qiao Liangjin''s cloak over the screen and looked at the beauties'' couch. She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "All asleep."


    Qiao Xinting raised a hand to touch her face and whispered, "Elder sister, the fire dragons in your room are really hot. Look at my face, it''s already so hot that it''s burning."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, signaled for Ruo Lan to open the window a little and asked: "Is it okay now? Why did you come back? Where''s your mother? "


    Qiao Xinting bit her lips and whispered, "There is no one on the mountain to take care of Mother. Mother is sick. If I didn''t write a letter to Father, Mother wouldn''t even be willing to come back."


    Qiao Liangjin knew the temper of his second concubine, Guo Caiting. He would rather endure it alone than ask the Prime Minister for help. His brows furrowed as he asked, "Did Father find a doctor to treat your mother''s body today? The weather is so cold, your mother should be chilled to the bone, right? "


    Qiao Xinting''s eyes instantly lit up as she nodded and replied, "Big sister, you''re really smart. The doctor said so too, and my mother said so too. She made her own medicine on the mountain, but my mother said that the herbs on the mountain weren''t enough, so we haven''t seen it for a long time ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin was a little curious when he heard this. Guo Caiting was able to catch medicinal herbs to cure him? I don''t think I''ve ever heard anyone say she knew medicine.


    As they were talking, Zi Yan brought in two bowls of ginger soup and placed them in front of the two sisters. Qiao Liangjin looked at A Qing who was standing at the door and ordered, "Take A Qing to drink a bowl of ginger soup as well."


    Ah Qing shook her hand, her black cheeks were covered with red clouds, but Zi Yan tugged on Ah Qing''s hand and laughed, "It''s alright, our family''s master is not the same as the others'' master." As he spoke, he pulled Ah Qing''s hand into the kitchen.


    Dai Di placed a small hand stove on the table and followed him out.


    Qiao Liangjin pushed the stove in front of Qiao Xinting and said with a bit of heartache, "The weather will only get colder and colder. If I''m not at home in the future, you can tell Ah Bai or Ah Kuan to go back. Where are you staying now?"


    "Once we get back to the manor, we''ll stay in Tranquil Heart Garden. My mother and I will always be staying there."


    Qiao Liangjin frowned slightly. Her mind was searching for the location of the Peace Heart Garden. After thinking for a long time, she pointed to the northernmost area and asked, "Is it that Tranquil Heart Garden over there?"


    Qiao Xinting nodded and smiled. "I know where it is."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly stood up and walked over to the screen. He held the cloak in his hand and handed her Qiao Xinting''s cloak. He said, "Let''s go, I''ll go with you to see your mother."


    Qiao Xinting froze for a moment before nodding her head in joy.


    It was already late in the night. The lanterns in the entire residence started to light up one after another. Snow started to fall from the overcast sky.


    Qiao Xinting hugged the furnace joyfully as she followed behind Qiao Liangjin. Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s upright back, she suddenly felt a bit of excitement in her heart. This Prime Minister who was cold to her and her mother had finally found someone to warm his heart.


    Walking up to a small wall, Qiao Liangjin sized up the unlit courtyard and sneered in his heart. ''This Chastity Heart of the Prime Minister sure knows how to bully people. She''s gentle and understanding, and yet she takes care of people from the Prime Minister''s residence behind their backs?''


    At this moment, Qiao Xinting had already happily pushed open the door. Before she had even entered, her voice had already resounded through the courtyard. "Mother, big sister is back with me."


    Qiao Liangjin followed him into Calming Heart Garden. He smiled, and that smile was bone-chilling cold, it really was a Calm Heart Garden. There were only three rooms, exactly three people, and there wasn''t even any kitchen left.


    A violent coughing sound came from the room. Qiao Liangjin frowned and followed Qiao Xinting into the room. The moment they entered, the strong smell of herbs assaulted their nostrils. A hoarse voice on the bed said apologetically, "So the big miss is here ¡­"


    Only now did Qiao Liangjin clearly see Guo Caijing lying on the bed. Compared to the last time he saw her on the mountain, they were two completely different people. That slightly plump and plump woman was now lying on the bed as if she was out of shape, raising her frightening skinny arms and waving at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin quickly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. She pressed her fingertips to her pulse and gradually, her long eyebrows slightly furrowed. She originally thought that it was a simple chill, but after seeing this pulse, she sneered in her heart.

 C81 Self-poisoning

    Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to open his mouth, Guo Caiting lightly patted him on the back of her hand and said to Qiao Xinting who was standing beside her, "Ting''er, go make dinner with Qing. In a while, ask for some food from the big stove for Eldest Miss to eat."


    Qiao Xinting agreed and led Ah Qing out the door. Qiao Liangjin also turned his head and gave Zi Yan a look. Zi Yan also followed him out the door.


    After closing the door, Qiao Liangjin asked, "Aunt, do you know what''s going on?"


    Guo Caiting smiled indifferently and said, "If you want to return to the Prime Minister''s Estate, you must think of a way. A simple chill will heal in a few days. Only poison will not be able to heal you for a long time."


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t expect Guo Caijing to poison him herself. His brows slightly raised as he asked, "Why did you poison yourself?"


    "Miss, you need someone by your side. Eldest Young Master isn''t someone who can help you. Although I''m weak on my own, I can still help you." Guo Caiting''s tone was extremely sincere.


    Qiao Liangjin was silent. She knew that Guo Caiting was once the servant of her body''s mother, but because she was favored, she became Third Aunt. However, she had always wondered if her mother''s death was related to this woman in front of her.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin fall into silence, Guo Caiting struggled to sit up. She was already sweating profusely from just moving around. Qiao Liangjin did not say anything and just helped her sit up.


    Guo Caiting rested for a moment before continuing, "First Miss, I know what you''re thinking ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin bit her lips and replied, "I didn''t think of anything. Since I''m back, Third Madame should just take care of her body and not think of anything else. If you really want to help me, then you must take back the power in her hands."


    Guo Caiting stared blankly for a moment, then nodded heavily.


    Qiao Liangjin walked in front of the desk, picked up a pen and paper, wrote down a prescription, then passed it to Guo Caiting, sighing, "Third Aunt, if you want to come back, you only need to tell me. The poison you administered to yourself today will sooner or later harm you, why must it ¡­"


    A trace of guilt flashed across Guo Caiting''s eyes, and then she gave a shallow smile, "Rest assured Young Miss, I know what I''m doing with this poison."


    This caused Qiao Liangjin to be a little surprised, but Guo Caiting softly explained, "Ting Er is the daughter of Shu, so in the future, she will naturally marry him and become his concubine. So I asked her to learn more about cooking, but I hope it will be of some help to her in the future."


    Her words made Qiao Liangjin feel a little sad. She knew very well what being a concubine meant in this dynasty that valued status. It was impossible for her to stand against the entire society alone, but she would work hard and try to change the fate of the people around her bit by bit.


    Qiao Xinting happily picked up a stack of vegetables and placed it into the small bowl in front of Qiao Liangjin. She said with sparkling eyes, "Big sis, quickly try it. The taste is really good. My mom always said that my cooking skills are very good."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head and raised his chopsticks, carefully tasting this seemingly simple meal.


    When they returned to the Flowermoney Pavilion from the Ning Xin Garden, Qiao Liangjin didn''t say a word. He just silently leaned on his chair and thought about everything.


    She always felt that there was a line leading to everything, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t get a clue. After thinking for a long time, her mood became even more chaotic.


    Zi Yan put the tea in her hand on the tea table beside her, but Qiao Liangjin barely touched it. Only when Yu Sheng''s voice came from the beauty bed did Qiao Liangjin regain his senses and gulp down the cold tea in one gulp.


    She put on her cloak and walked out of the Flower Glow Pavilion, heading straight for Qiao Zheng''s study.


    Arriving at the door of the study, Qiao Liangjin lightly knocked twice before he heard her voice from inside: "What is it?"


    She coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and said softly, "Father, it''s me."


    The door opened, and the gentle face of her chastity appeared in front of Qiao Liangjin. She seemed to be surprised that Qiao Liangjin would come to the study at this time.


    Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded towards her, then he greeted her and went straight into the study.


    It looked like Qiao Zheng was playing chess with Zhen Zhen Xin. Seeing Qiao Liangjin walk in, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come, Jin''er, play chess with father."


    Qiao Liangjin''s head exploded the moment she saw this black chess piece. In her previous life, besides drawing and writing, she didn''t know anything else, especially this chess piece.


    "Master said he has nothing to do today, so he asked me to play chess with him. I don''t understand what''s going on with this game. Jin''er, you often play chess with your father to amuse yourself. Go play chess with Master, I''ll go back and rest first."


    He wanted to leave, but he didn''t move his feet at all. He seemed to want to see how Qiao Liangjin would play chess.


    Qiao Liangjin sat right in front of Qiao Zheng, looking at the chessboard. The entire Astral Plate was filled with chess pieces, how was he going to play? He turned his head to the side to look at Zhen Yuxin who said she was leaving, and asked: "Madame, didn''t you say you were leaving? Why hasn''t he gone back yet? I wanted to talk to my father about something. "


    Chastity''s face changed, but she still maintained her smile and said, "That''s fine, then I''ll go back first."


    Qiao Liangjin cursed silently in his heart: A b * tch with a scheming mind.


    Qiao Zheng saw that Qiao Liangjin was holding onto a chess piece the whole time and knew that Qiao Liangjin must have something on his mind. He prepared to take the chess pieces back one by one and asked, "Jin''er, what''s the matter?"


    "Third Madame is back. I''m going to see her today." Joy filled Qiao Liangjin''s heart, and he casually placed the chess piece on the board.


    Qiao Zheng was flabbergasted when he saw the position beneath the chess piece. He didn''t reply for a long time.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head and waved his hand in front of Qiao Zheng, asking, "Father, what''s with your expression? A stroke? "


    Qiao Zheng slapped her hand and scolded in a low voice, "How old are you? Nonsense." "However, your chess game is too perfect. I''ll go to the Military Department tomorrow to play this game of chess with Mr. Shang Shu."


    Qiao Liangjin stared at the board in a daze. She couldn''t even remember where her chess piece had come from. How did it become a good chess piece? She laughed and said with an unfathomable manner, "Father, I''ll teach you this time. There won''t be any more opportunities in the future, so you must remember this well."


    Qiao Zheng rubbed his chin and nodded his head. He kept the chess piece and continued to ask: "Just now you said that you went to see Cai Ting. What happened?"


    "There''s no fire dragon in her house, is there?"


    "I remember telling Chong Xin to put it in every yard."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled slightly, a faint smile on his face as he stared at Qiao Zheng''s face.


    Qiao Zheng was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Alright, I will go to Tranquil Heart Garden tonight. As for what it is like, I will know tomorrow."


    Then, Qiao Liangjin put away his fake smile and quickly stood up. He walked towards the door and then turned around and said: "Dad, there seems to be too many things you don''t know about this Xiang Fu. I used to be too lazy to care about it, but that doesn''t mean I don''t know about it. Father, there must be a lot of things.


    Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Liangjin silently and nodded his head thoughtfully.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and swaggered out of the study door. As he walked, he sang loudly, "The King has called me to patrol the mountain. I''m going to take a walk in the human world ¡­"


    The next day, while Qiao Liangjin was washing his face, he heard from Ruo Lan that Qiao Zheng had gone to the Tranquil Heart Garden last night and had angrily gone to the yard in the middle of the night. Now, the Chastity Heart was looking for someone to install a fire dragon for the Tranquil Heart Garden.


    After saying what he had seen today, Ruo Lan smiled and said, "Miss, this move of yours is truly amazing. Let the lord take a look for himself."


    Qiao Liangjin used the handkerchief to wipe his face and slowly said, "It''s just because I''m a virgin, he thinks I''m the same. If it was Qiao Xinting who went last night, then Chastity Heart would have chased her away."


    If Lan Xin was silent, then this would be the case for their young mistress. Her heart was as clear as a mirror, and nothing could be concealed from her.


    After washing up, Qiao Liangjin left the room and stood in the snow. He closed his eyes quietly and breathed slowly. His body was once again in a strange position as he enjoyed the smell of the snow.


    A few more tsk-tsk sounds came from the wall.


    She slowly withdrew her hand, shaking off the snowflakes on her cloak. She gestured towards the wall, turned around, and said to Bai, "It will clear up in a few days. Remember to find a bricklayer to raise this wall."


    The voice on the wall laughed. "Miss Qiao, how high do you think the wall can block me?"


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "No, forget it. Let''s leave that money. Bai, remember to spend the money on repairing the wall and make some winter clothes for Qiao Xinting."


    After instructing Bai, Qiao Lianjin smiled at the wall, "The Eastern Kingdom has sent a written challenge to the Southern Kingdom. They have already started to head south. Why haven''t you gone back yet?"


    The dark blue figure on the wall lightly jumped down from the high wall and walked step by step towards Qiao Liangjin. He walked until he was in front of Qiao Liangjin and looked down at her from above.


    "Oh? "You''re welcome, no need to thank me for what I''ve done." Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly. He let the snow fall on her face.


    Nan Li looked at Qiao Liangjin''s smile and smiled bitterly: "I really need to thank you. If it wasn''t for you shouting, Nan Li wouldn''t have had the chance to go back and fight in the commander army. It''s just that my sister might still be here."


    "So?" Qiao Liangjin''s expression remained indifferent. However, there was a hint of coldness in the depths of her eyes. She did not think that it was a good thing for Nangong to remain here.


    "So if Nangong offends you, please don''t kill her. I will think of a way to bring her back to the Southern Kingdom." Nan Li looked earnestly into Qiao Liangjin''s eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his long eyebrows and the smile on his face finally became a bit warmer. He stretched out three fingers and said: "Okay, I promise you. "Three times, I gave her three chances. If you don''t kill her, then if she still gains an inch, then please don''t blame me, Sixth Prince."

 C82 Fall into an Ice Lake

    However, Nan Li took the chance to grab Qiao Liangjin''s three fingers and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and took a deep sniff of her hair, then suddenly let go and left the yard.


    Qiao Liangjin was obviously not able to react to this. It was only until she somewhat reacted that she gritted her teeth and said, "The next time I see you, I will definitely scam you to death."


    Then he pointed at the fake mountain and yelled, "Lu Li, if you dare to write it down, do you believe that I won''t let you see the sun tomorrow?"


    With a bitter face, he thought for a while before writing, "Today, the Sixth Prince of South Li met up with Miss Qiao, gave her a hug, and then left. My lord, Miss Qiao said that I won''t be able to see the sun tomorrow. Sigh, if I can''t see it, then I won''t."


    The note was sent to Su Chen, who had just left the palace. His long eyebrows slowly relaxed. To Nan Li, the mountains were more important than the beauties. It seemed like Qiao Liangjin had played the right move.


    After clearing everything and getting ready to board the carriage, a figure wearing a white cloak gradually approached his carriage.


    He only glanced at them before boarding the carriage. With a deep voice, he said, "Anyone who blocks the way will not stop. Return to the Duke''s Mansion now."


    As the white cloak neared the carriage, the clanging sound was heard, and a frown appeared on his face.


    "Clear, clear, it''s me." The voice coming out from under the white cloak was clear and melodious, especially melodious.


    However, the cleared carriage did not stop and gradually moved further away.


    The little white face under the white cloak was full of resentment, as it watched the carriage leaving.


    Another carriage slowly drove past Nan Gong but it stopped right there. A servant girl dressed in pink got off the carriage and walked towards Nan Gong as she spoke: "Is this Miss Nan Gong? My princess wishes to invite you to tea. "


    No matter how she looked at it, she was still a servant girl. Since she did not have any friends in the capital, suddenly someone invited her to tea. She was curious and bold, wanting to see who it was, so she happily followed the servant girl into the carriage.


    In the carriage sat a beautiful woman. She had an oval face, a straight nose, and long narrow eyes. She seemed to be the daughter of a noble family.


    Nangong sat down at the side. He tilted his head and asked, "Who are you?"


    The woman passed the hand stove in her hand to Nangong. She revealed a faint smile and said, "We should be friends, right?"


    "Why?"


    "Because I don''t like that Qiao Liangjin either." The woman slowly spoke up.


    As soon as they arrived at the mansion, they received news that Nangong had boarded Yu Linglong''s carriage. They had followed her for a long distance, so they couldn''t hear what they were talking about. However, when they reached Luo Yuan Tower, the two women went up to eat tea and then separated.


    Clearing the brush in his hand, he smiled, "The enemy of an enemy is his friend. This Yu Linglong really makes people worry. Tell Miss Qiao to be careful."


    The guard quickly left the room.


    Qiao Liangjin brought Yu Sheng, who had transformed into a fox, to the Plum Forest in the rear garden and admired the plum blossom. Through the wall, he could hear Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya conversing.


    Qiao Yin''s slightly high-pitched voice complained, "Ya''er, why do you think Third Madame came back? I can see that her mother''s complexion is very pale today. Did she cause trouble the moment she returned?"


    "Wasn''t it that annoying Qiao Liangjin who went to the study last night to talk to Father? Father went to look for Mother in the middle of the night to settle the score and Mother cried for half the night. Then, at daybreak, we started to find someone to clean up Tranquil Heart Garden."


    "That Qiao Xinting seems to be on the same side as Qiao Liangjin ¡­"


    "Hmph, push her into the icy lake one day. When others find her, it will be spring." Qiao Ya''s voice was filled with malice.


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows slowly furrowed.


    Qiao Liangjin quietly leaned against the Plum Blossom Tree. He placed the Silver Fox on the tree trunk and laughed, "Let''s watch a good show later."


    Sure enough, Qiao Xinting probably found Qiao Liangjin in the Flower Lover Pavilion. The maids said that she was admiring the plum before running over here to look for her.


    Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya smiled as they blocked Qiao Xinting''s path.


    Qiao Xinting took two steps back and asked with a smile on her face, "Second sister, third sister, is there something you need?"


    "Xin Ting, I''ve been back for a few days. Why didn''t you greet us when you went to greet your big sister?" Isn''t she treating us as sisters? "


    Qiao Xinting was shocked, but she still maintained a smile on her face as she replied, "Sister is not feeling well. I''m afraid that I might infect the sisters, so I didn''t go. Please forgive me, sister."


    Qiao Ya walked forward with a beaming smile and held Qiao Xinting''s hand. She said coldly, "Look at little sister''s cold hands. Second sister, aren''t we going to look for Siyuan and play hide-and-seek together? Xin Ting, do you want to go with me? "


    Qiao Xinting tried to pull her hand away, but found that Qiao Ya was holding it tightly.


    Although Qiao Xin Ting had not interacted much with Qiao Ya and Qiao Yin before, she had been able to read the expressions on their faces since she was young. How could she not see the malice on their faces?


    Struggling to retreat, he didn''t expect that Qiao Yin would step forward and grab her other arm. Still wearing the same fake smile that didn''t reach his eyes, he pulled Qiao Xinting towards the pond behind the fake mountain.


    Qiao Xinting retreated with all her might and shook her head. With a trembling voice, she cried, "I ¡­" "I''m not going ¡­"


    Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya shot each other a glance. Their expressions suddenly turned malevolent. Their usual delicate appearance no longer remained. They viciously pulled Qiao Xinting towards the fake mountain.


    He used his mouth to lightly stroke the back of Qiao Liangjin''s head. Qiao Liangjin turned around and rubbed the top of his head, and said softly: "It''s not time yet, I''ll let Qiao Xinting know how terrifying this Prime Minister''s Residence is. It''s not like she can let her off just because she has nothing to do with the world."


    He had been a monster for hundreds of years, but he had only whistled through the forest and the mountains. He did not have so many scheming and scheming, nor did he have so many steps to take.


    Qiao Liangjin turned his head and looked at the two ladies who were originally Lady Jiao and dragged the other petite figure towards the pond. She slowly took off her cloak and hung it on a tree.


    She forcefully bit her lips to prevent herself from shouting out loud. She shook her head with all her might and quietly begged, "Sisters, I was wrong, I was wrong. I beg you to let me go. My mother is still sick, I still need to go back and take care of my mother ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin was like a gust of wind as he stood beside the pool and smiled at the three of them.


    Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya had their backs facing Qiao Liangjin and did not realize that Qiao Liangjin was behind them. They continued to pull Qiao Xinting towards the side of the pool. Qiao Xinting''s panic-stricken heart, upon seeing Qiao Liangjin''s smiling face, unexpectedly broke down in tears and stopped struggling.


    Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya were admiring Qiao Xinting''s begging appearance. Qiao Xinting was actually smiling. They thought that she was scared out of her wits and had gone into a state of stupor. Qiao Yin clicked her tongue and said, "Third sister, look at her appearance. She couldn''t have gone mad from fright, could she?"


    "Who are you saying is crazy?" Qiao Liangjin''s clear voice sounded from behind Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya.


    Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya originally had a guilty conscience. When they heard this voice, they instantly released Qiao Xinting''s arm and stood rooted to the spot.


    Qiao Xinting was relieved. She didn''t cry like the television had described. She rushed over to hug Qiao Liangjin. Instead, she wiped away her tears and stubbornly raised her head as she sobbed, "Big sister, I''m fine."


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart was suddenly twisted. Was he feeling sorry for this small, strong body?


    Only then did Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya hurriedly turn around with faces full of panic.


    Qiao Yin looked at Qiao Ya. She did her best to appear calm as she said, "We are having fun with Xin Ting."


    Qiao Ya immediately nodded in agreement. "Yes, I wonder where Siyuan has gone to. We''ll pull Xining along to look for Siyuan together. Big Sis, did you see Siyuan?"


    Qiao Liangjin also nodded seriously and replied, "I saw it. He really did see it. He was hiding it at the place where he fell from the fake mountain the last time. "Oh, that''s right. Qiao Ya, you said that you haven''t taken any medicine for two months. Do you feel that half of your body is out of control?"


    Qiao Ya''s face immediately changed. Ever since the last time Qiao Liangjin fed her medicine, she refused to believe that it was poison, so every full moon day of the month, she shakily passed by. She realized that she didn''t feel like there was anything wrong with her body, so she gradually relaxed.


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, her face turned ashen, then turned pale. She couldn''t help but kneel down and cry, "Big sister, I was wrong. I will never bully anyone ever again. Please let me go, big sister."


    Qiao Yin did not know that Qiao Ya had been poisoned. When she heard the conversation and saw that Qiao Ya was kneeling on the ground, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Qiao Liangjin in fear, afraid that Qiao Liangjin''s medicine would be thrown into her mouth.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and walked step by step back until he reached the icy surface of the pond.


    Qiao Xinting panicked and tried to stop her, "Big Sister, the ice is not thick yet ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded at Qiao Xingran and stood at the thinnest spot in the middle of the pool. He opened his arms and said to Qiao Xinting: "Go to the study room and call father over."


    Qiao Xin Ting did not know what Qiao Liangjin was up to and could only nod her head. She then lifted up her skirt and hastily ran towards Qiao Zheng''s study.


    Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya blankly watched Qiao Liangjin retreat onto the ice. They looked at each other, unsure of what Qiao Liangjin was going to do next.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked at the snowy sky. He paused slightly, but his lower body used a thousand jin pendant. With a "kala" sound, Qiao Liangjin''s figure disappeared from the surface of the water.


    For some reason, before the winter, the pool had been filled with a lot of water. The water that once only reached Qiao Liangjin''s chest had now reached above her head.

 C83 Design Drop

    Qiao Liangjin held her breath as she counted the time in the ice-cold water. She had learned yoga, so she could hold her breath for a long time. She had to wait for Qiao Zheng to personally send people to save her.


    Closing her eyes, her mind was constantly replaying everything that had happened since she came to Xuanyuan Kingdom. She had been pretending to be crazy and playing dumb, but the red robe was still lingering in her memory.


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit curious. He was not dying, why was his mind filled with that person? She floated lightly in the water. When she heard a sound coming from the water, she opened her eyes and saw a figure jumping into the water. She revealed a smile of triumph.


    Hearing that Qiao Liangjin was by the pool, Qiao Zheng suddenly recalled the incident a few months ago when his youngest son fell into the water. He put down the matter at hand and rushed to the pool with his bodyguards.


    When he reached the pool, he found that his eldest daughter was nowhere to be seen. The only thing he could see was her two pale daughters staring dumbfoundedly into the middle of the pool.


    He had never panicked like this before. Even when he knew that Qiao Liangjin was going to find Qiao Ruo Ying, he had never panicked. He frantically commanded the guards to carry Qiao Liangjin back to the Hua Jin Pavilion.


    When the maidservants who were cleaning the room saw that someone had come in wet and carrying Qiao Liangjin on their backs, they immediately put down the things in their hands and went up to welcome him. Zi Yan took Qiao Liangjin and carried him behind her as she said to the guard, "You should go back and change.


    The guard nodded his head and left, leaving Qiao Zheng, Qiao Xinting and a few other guards standing in the corridor.


    Seeing that the doctor had arrived, Qiao Zheng quickly gave way and let the doctor in while he stood by the door with his eyebrows locked together.


    Looking at Qiao Xingran''s tearful face, he finally remembered to ask what had happened.


    Unexpectedly, Qiao Xinting shook her head and looked towards the door timidly.


    Qiao Zheng followed Qiao Xinting''s gaze and saw Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya timidly standing at the entrance to the courtyard, sneaking a peek inside.


    He was furious. The pressure exerted by the Emperor on him was getting stronger and stronger, yet this mansion still continued to stir up trouble. It was all thanks to that gentle and empathetic Chastity.


    Thinking of that night when he went to Guo Caiting''s room, which was as cold as an ice-cold cellar, he began to feel that her heart wasn''t the same as the gentle, kind, thoughtful, and considerate woman he had seen before.


    Today, Qiao Liangjin had fallen into the ice-cold pond. At the time of the incident, other than these two children, there was no one else. When he asked Qiao Xinting, the little girl was already looking at the two girls at the door in panic.


    Qiao Zheng did his best to suppress the anger within his heart and walked to the door. He said to the guard, "Send the second and third miss to the ancestral hall and think about it. No one is allowed to enter."


    After some thought, he added, "Including Madam."


    Only then did Qiao Ya feel that today''s matter was a little too serious. She knelt down weakly and began to cry bitterly. "Father, I didn''t do anything. It really wasn''t us. It was elder sister ¡­" "Elder sister, she ¡­" As he spoke, he walked over on his knees.


    Qiao Zheng was anxious at first but when he heard that Qiao Ya was still arguing, he kicked Qiao Ya, who was about to hug her leg away. He growled angrily, "Quickly pull them away!"


    Qiao Ya had never thought that Qiao Zheng would actually kick her away. In that instant, she stared blankly at the once dignified father in front of her as if she had never even met him. She allowed the guards to drag her and Qiao Yin away.


    Qiao Yin wanted to cry, but she did not dare. Seeing that Qiao Zheng could move his feet to chastity''s daughter, she became even more panic-stricken. She was her daughter, so it was fine if Qiao Liangjin was fine.


    Qiao Zheng glared at the two figures being dragged away by the guards before turning back to the corridor outside the restaurant.


    Not long later, the door was opened. "Miss has already changed her clothes. The doctor is checking her pulse now. Master can go in now."


    Only then did Qiao Zheng step into Qiao Liangjin''s room. He walked straight to the bed and looked at the pale and unconscious Qiao Liangjin. He asked softly, "Doctor, how is it?"


    "Miss has been in the water for too long, and has been stimulated by the ice water. She already has a fever. As for when she will wake up, that will depend on when her fever will subside. " The doctor went over to the round table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote down the prescription.


    After the doctor had finished writing the prescription, Qiao Zheng looked over it anxiously before handing it to Ruo Lan, exhorting her: "Go get the medicine, send the doctor off."


    The doctor quickly put away the medicine box, took a long look at Qiao Liangjin who was lying on the bed, and left the Golden Flower Pavilion with Ruo Lan.


    Qiao Zheng sat on a stool that Zi Yan brought over, rubbing his thumb and forefinger as he looked at the flushed Qiao Liangjin and asked, "Xinting, just how did your eldest sister fall into the water today?"


    Qiao Xinting''s heart skipped a beat when she heard Qiao Zheng call out his name. She quickly replied, "I ¡­" I... Second Sis and Third Sis told me that Siyuan was playing hide-and-seek and wanted me to look for him, but ¡­ "They took me to the pool, then Big Sis showed up and told me to go find you quickly ¡­"


    Qiao Zheng''s finger stopped moving as he was deep in thought. He had a nagging feeling that something was not right and continued to ask: "Then have you found Si Yuan?"


    Qiao Xinting shook her head repeatedly. How could she find Siyuan? It was not near the pool at all!


    Qiao Zheng waved his hand and said: "You go back first and serve your mother well first."


    Qiao Xinting looked worriedly at Qiao Liangjin on the bed and could only leave obediently.


    Just as she walked to the door, a figure wearing green clothes with a hint of fragrance heavily hit her. She raised her head and discovered that it was chastity. She angrily glared at her and changed from her usual gentle appearance, scaring her so much that she knelt down at the door with a ''putt''.


    When Qiao Zheng heard the commotion at the door, he turned his head to see Chastity walking in. He knitted his eyebrows and asked softly: "What are you doing here?"


    When she saw Qiao Zheng, chastity changed to a look of anxiety. "I heard Jin''er fell into the water and was extremely anxious, so I came to take a look."


    Qiao Zheng gave a cold snort and did not reply. He turned his head back and continued to stare at the unconscious Qiao Liangjin.


    Zhen Yuxin never thought that Qiao Zheng''s attitude towards her would change so drastically these days. Especially now, he actually did not say anything. His heart sank and the coldness in his eyes deepened.


    Qiao Zheng was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and waved it as he said: "Go back, Xinting, go back and take care of your mother. Yuanyuan, there is someone here to take care of Jin''er, you don''t need to stay here anymore.


    Chastity''s heart froze for a moment. She lowered her head to look at Qiao Xinting who was kneeling at the side. Her brows slightly furrowed, but she still complied with his wishes and left the Flowermoney Pavilion.


    After watching her chastity leave, Qiao Xinting rubbed her aching knee and stood up. Just as he was about to head out, he heard Qiao Zheng say, "Do not kneel to anyone in the future."


    Qiao Xinting''s eyes suddenly turned red. She held back her tears and replied, "Yes, Father." Only then did she slowly walk to the door. Her servant, Ah Qing, had been standing in the snow for a long time waiting for her.


    Qiao Zheng sat quietly to one side, watching as the three maids busied themselves with their work. It was only when Yu Sheng, who had been playing outside for a long time, entered the room with the Spirit Swirling Swirl that he remembered Qiao Lianjin taking care of the two children. He could not help but feel a pang in his heart.


    He owed Qiao Liangjin too much, now that he saw her lying there, he realized that other than indulging her, he really had no other care for her. When he knew that she had fallen into the water, his heart hurt so much that he almost couldn''t breathe, he gradually clenched his fists, as if he was making some kind of decision.


    Dong! The door was pushed open again, and Qiao Ruoyin''s loud voice followed his footsteps. "What happened to my sister? How come I heard that my sister fell into the water the moment I got back? "


    He walked to the side of the bed and only then noticed Qiao Zheng. He hurriedly greeted, "Father."


    Qiao Zheng looked at his crude son in dissatisfaction and scolded him in a small voice: "Don''t disturb your sister."


    Only then did Qiao Ruo Ying stop her big movements and sit on the stool Zi Yan brought her. She placed her hands on her knees and looked at Qiao Linjian Jin who was sleeping on the bed.


    After sitting for a long time, he whispered, "What''s going on, dad? How did my sister fall into the pool?"


    Qiao Zheng shook his head and glared at Qiao Ruoyin. She immediately made an expression that indicated she understood and went silent.


    Yu Sheng had watched Qiao Liangjin''s performance from the beginning to the end, so he naturally did not care much. He sat to the side with his Spirit Swirl and looked at the serious expression on Qiao Zheng and his son before whispering, "Look at their expressions. If I were their master, I would not even dare breathe."


    Ling Xuan blinked his eyes and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why?"


    "Look at the face of this father and son, it seems that our master is not sick, but dead."


    It was only then that Spirit Swirl realized the truth. He looked carefully at the expressions of Qiao Zheng and his son and nodded his head in agreement.


    Qiao Zheng sighed and waved at the two children. Yu Sheng''s expression immediately changed to a sorrowful one as he walked up to Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng held one of the children in each hand and sighed, "Your mother is sick. She might not be able to take good care of all of you ¡­" "Why don''t you all follow grandpa ¡­"


    What? Why was this old man so good at climbing up the mountain? He was a demoness that had lived for hundreds of years. Was he going to call him Grandfather?


    Spirit Swirl obediently pulled on Qiao Zheng''s sleeve and replied in a tender voice, "Grandfather, we are fine. Mother said that we are not allowed to leave Flower Gold Pavilion. "With the purple smoke and blue powder to take care of us, we''ll be fine. Besides, we won''t be able to leave our mother."

 C84 Febrile Illness

    Yu Sheng followed what the Spirit Swirl said and nodded his head with all his might. He raised his sleeves and covered his face as he began to sob softly.


    Qiao Ruo Ying looked at the two little imps making a ruckus but didn''t point it out. She said, "That''s right father, if little sister wakes up and these two children aren''t here, they will definitely be worried. Don''t worry, I''m here."


    Qiao Zheng glared at Qiao Ruoyin, his tone filled with distrust, "You''re the only one I''m worried about."


    Hearing that, Qiao Ruo Ying kept rolling her eyes.


    Qiao Linjing, who was feeling feverish in his bed, almost couldn''t hold back his laughter when he heard their conversation. He forcefully swallowed his laughter back into his stomach.


    However, his body was getting hotter and hotter. Qiao Liangjin sighed in his heart. Sure enough, he had caught a cold.


    They stayed up late into the night and watched as Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan fell asleep. Qiao Zheng and Qiao Ruo Ying were repeatedly persuaded by the maids and returned to rest.


    Dai Li used a cold handkerchief to place on Qiao Liangjin''s forehead and grumbled softly, "Miss, why do you have to go through so much trouble? "To be able to injure themselves like this, the servants really feel uncomfortable in their hearts."


    Qiao Liangjin could feel that his mind was in a mess, as if those sounds were far, far away from him. She only tried her best to raise the corners of her lips. She wanted to smile, but then she fell into a deep sleep.


    Pink put her hand on Qiao Liangjin''s forehead and exclaimed, "Oh god, why is the temperature of the young lady getting hotter and hotter?"


    Violet Smoke brought the fried medicinal juice, wanting to pour it into Qiao Liangjin''s mouth. Unfortunately, Qiao Liangjin could not help but feel the strong medicinal smell and subconsciously closed his lips.


    Purple Smoke and Dai Di were already sweating profusely, but not a single drop of medicinal juice was poured into their bodies.


    The door was lightly opened, and after Violet Smoke and Muse heard the sound, they thought it was Rulan. They said, "Ruo Lan, come quickly and help. Young Miss is not willing to drink any medicine."


    A burst of rosin fragrance assaulted his nostrils and a tall figure sat down on the edge of the bed.


    Zi Yan and Cai Di were stunned. Looking at the uninvited guest in front of them, the Seventh Prince cleared his throat.


    Who would have thought that the Seventh Prince would come in the middle of the night?


    After clearing up, she directly took the bowl from Zi Yan''s hand and said with an extremely soft voice, "You can all go rest. I''ll be fine here."


    Zi Yan and Muse looked at each other for a moment before they silently left the room.


    Qing Shui held the medicinal juice in one hand and looked at Qiao Liangjin, whose cheeks had turned red because of the fever. He shook his head slightly and said, "You really know how to mess with yourself."


    After that, he helped Qiao Liangjin up and leaned against his body. He held the medicine bowl and was about to feed it to her. Qiao Liangjin took a whiff of the medicine and frowned, then he turned his head away in an attempt to avoid the smell.


    "He''s pretty stubborn." After clearing her smile, he lightly pinched her lower jaw and poured the medicinal juice into her mouth.


    Qiao Liangjin''s face instantly turned bitter as he unwillingly drank the medicine.


    She gently put Qiao Liangjin down and then threw the bowl to the side. The bowl landed on the table and didn''t even make a sound.


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s bitter face, Qing Shui placed his slender finger on her pulse and slowly channeled the true energy within his body into her body. Strangely, there was a wave of domineering true energy within Qiao Liangjin''s body.


    Qing Shui felt a little strange. What kind of inner force did Qiao Liangjin practice? How could his true qi be so pure and tyrannical?


    After cleaning and drying the handkerchief, he placed it neatly on Qiao Liangjin''s forehead. He took good care of it for the entire night until it was almost daybreak. After thinking that it was about time for the imperial court, he finally left.


    Qiao Liangjin could vaguely feel a red figure at the door swaying a little. She smiled, it seemed like she had a fever of her own, why did she see that sullen look on her face again? She thought for a moment, then turned around and went back to sleep.


    After sleepily sleeping for another day, she felt someone walking away from the bed, drank the bitter medicinal juice and then fed her the light rice porridge.


    Finally on the third day, she opened her eyes and sat up. She stretched her body and said with a hoarse voice, "I really rested for a long time this time."


    Pai Dai, who was napping at the side, heard Qiao Liangjin''s voice. She stood up in joy and staggered towards the door, shouting, "Miss, you''re awake! Miss, you''re awake!"


    For the past few days, Qiao Zheng would head straight to the Flower Golden Pavilion to stay with his son until nightfall. Today, the same thing was true as soon as he entered the yard, Ah Bai came over and greeted him, "Master, the little miss has woken up."


    Qiao Zheng was overjoyed as he hurriedly entered the room, thinking that Qiao Liangjin was still lying on the bed. Unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin had already gotten up and was moving his body up and down. He frowned and said, "I''ve only just woken up. How did he get up?"


    Qiao Liangjin had already heard that Qiao Zheng had been taking care of him for the past few days. He obediently sat on the chair and smiled. "I feel very good already. I have made you worry for the past few days because your daughter is unfilial."


    Seeing the drastic change in her once domineering daughter, Qiao Zheng felt a wave of gratification in his heart. Sitting opposite Qiao Liangjin, he carefully sized up Qiao Liangjin''s pale face and asked: "Are you still feeling well? A headache? Is the fever gone? "


    Qiao Ruo Ying, who was carrying a pot of soup, kicked open the door and walked in carelessly. When she saw Qiao Zheng, her face stiffened as she laughed dryly, "Father, you''re here."


    Qiao Zheng frowned as he looked at Qiao Ruoyin, wanting to reprimand her for her rude behaviour but the words that came out of his mouth were another sentence. "Who are you?"


    "The chicken soup was prepared by Third Madame. She told me to bring it over." Qiao Ruo Ying placed the chicken soup on the table, then obediently stood at the side and blinked her eyes at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Zheng coughed twice as Qiao Liangjin immediately sat down beside Qiao Zheng. Purple smoke had already brought three bowls over and placed them on the table.


    Qiao Liangjin scooped up three bowls of soup, then patted the stool beside him and said, "Brother, you should sit as well."


    Qiao Ruo Ying sat beside Qiao Liangjin with her hands on her knees, scratching and scratching. It had been a long time since he and Qiao Zheng had been like this; because of their mischievousness, they were always accused of it. Thus, whenever they met Qiao Zheng, they had to hide as far away as possible.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled charmingly and said: "These past few days, it''s been really hard on dad and brother. I''m fine now, you guys don''t have to worry." "Father, you are too strict with your big brother. Look at your big brother, he is so nervous even in the same room as you."


    Qiao Zheng swept his gaze over Qiao Ruoyin and gave a muffled grunt.


    Qiao Ruoyin''s cheeks turned slightly red. She picked up the bowl and quickly took two sips, "Sister, the taste is really good. Third Aunt''s culinary skills and Mother''s culinary skills are really the same."


    When these words came out, the three of them froze in place. How long had it been since this family mentioned the great wife who had passed away many years ago?


    After a long while, Qiao Liangjin said with a hoarse voice: "Really? "Then I have to try it. It''s been a long time since I''ve had Mother''s stewed soup." As he finished speaking, his eyes turned slightly red.


    Qiao Zheng looked at the pair of children in front of him and knew in his heart that they must be missing their mother. Sighing, he raised his bowl and drank a mouthful of chicken soup before placing it on the table and saying: "Next month is your mother''s birthday. Go to your mother''s grave."


    Silence descended upon the room once again. Yuesheng, who was sleeping on the beauty bed, woke up and wrinkled her nose. She shouted loudly, "Wow, chicken soup! Mother, why didn''t you wake us up?"


    Dai Di quickly brought two more bowls of chicken soup and placed them on the table.


    As for Yu Sheng, he sat down beside the table with a smile on his face, holding onto his spiritual whirlpool. His almond-shaped eyes were rolling as he stared at the three people before him.


    Something was not right, this atmosphere was too strange. Why was the eyes of the woman who usually would not cry red today? There was also the thick-skinned Qiao Ruoying. Her expression was also very strange today.


    He delicately asked, "Grandfather, what happened to you?"


    Qiao Zheng''s heart warmed at Yu Sheng''s call for his grandfather and his voice grew gentler. "One day, I''ll bring you to see your grandmother."


    Suddenly, he thought of the fact that there was no chicken in Spirit Swirl''s bowl. He then fished out another chicken leg and placed it in Spirit Swirl''s bowl, muttering, "Don''t say that I did not take care of you, just a chicken leg, I gave you one."


    Qiao Zheng rubbed his chin and laughed: "Haha, since you guys like to eat the food that Guo Caiting cooks, then in the future you can often call her to cook."


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and shook his head, "Father, you can''t. Do you know that Aunt''s body is very bad?"


    "The doctor told me that she had a cold that went down to her bones and needed to be taken care of. I don''t plan to let the mother and daughter return to the mountain to live. Cai Ting has always followed Jing Shu, so she can more or less take care of you two siblings. "


    "Father, if I tell you that not only did Third Madame suffer from bone-chilling cold, but she was also poisoned, would you believe me?" Qiao Liangjin''s gaze dropped and he subconsciously lowered his head. As if he had made up his mind, he raised it and stared at Qiao Zheng as he spoke.


    Qiao Zheng''s graceful and calm demeanor seemed to be disrupted by these words as dark clouds seemed to slowly rise up in his eyes.


    "If I were to tell you that I was forced into the pool by Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya, would you believe me?"


    "Finally, I''ll tell you one last time. Back then, it was also Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er who had caused Qiao Si Yuan to fall into the water. Would you still believe it?"


    Qiao Zheng''s fist suddenly clenched. The dark clouds in his eyes were darker than the sky, rolling and churning as if they brought with them strong gales and raging waves.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly broke into a cold smile, "Dad, if you think that all of this is just a coincidence, then your daughter has nothing to say."


    "I understand. Jin''er, rest well first. I''m a bit tired, so I''ll go back first." Qiao Zheng interrupted Qiao Liangjin''s words, stood up and left the restaurant in a hurry.


    Yu Sheng gazed at Qiao Zheng''s departing back and shook his head. "I say, master, you really put in a lot of effort. What are you trying to do?"


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s repeated questions, Qiao Ruo Ying was dumbstruck. It was only when Qiao Zheng left and Yu Sheng asked that he retracted his train of thought.

 C85 Whooshing Sounds

    "Little sister, I don''t understand what you''re saying. However, there seems to be a big secret within our Prime Minister''s Estate." Qiao Ruo Ying asked.


    Qiao Liangjin leisurely scooped another bowl of soup and said to Dai Li, "The soup is a little cold, go heat it up. Oh right, I still want to eat some plum cake, help me make some."


    She nodded and carried the rest of the chicken soup to the kitchen.


    Qiao Liangjin drank a mouthful of soup, glanced at Qiao Ruo Ying and asked: "Don''t you think that mother''s death is strange?"


    "The doctor said that Mother has an epidemic disease." Qiao Ruo Ying replied.


    "Blight? How many people died from this disease in our Prime Minister''s Estate? "An epidemic is contagious, but in our Prime Minister''s residence, other than Mother, who else died?"


    He had always felt that his mother died too quickly, so he could only believe that the doctor was referring to the epidemic. After all, she was still very young at that time, so he could only follow his mother''s instructions and take good care of Qiao Liangjin.


    Today, Qiao Liangjin raised the question and his heart started to beat faster. The problem was that when his mother was sick, he would take care of her with his sister almost every day. Why did it say it was a disease of the times, but it did not spread to the siblings?


    Qiao Ruo Ying took a deep breath to calm herself down before asking, "So, little sister, who do you think hurt mother?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook her head. She wasn''t sure, but she had always suspected Zhen Qianxin, this woman appeared at just the right time, and to her, he had pampered Qiao Ruo Ying to the heavens, causing her to not be able to learn anything. He ate all day while waiting for her to die, acting like a playboy, indulging himself to eat until he became a fatty, and even saying that she didn''t need to learn at all.


    Qiao Liangjin smirked. Chastity was really an interesting character. She hid it so well and hid it so seriously. What was the purpose of her visit to the Prime Minister''s Estate?


    After Qiao Ruo Ying left, Yu Sheng brought the Spirit Swirling Swirl along with him and began cultivating. Qiao Liangjin, wearing a black cloak, quietly left the room.


    After she woke up, Zi Yan told her that during the past few nights, she had always been taking care of her. She wanted to go and thank that man who was always a little fresh and light.


    He lightly treaded on the snow all the way to the door of the Seventh Prince''s Mansion. He raised his head to look at the vermilion door and wondered if he should climb over the wall or knock on the door to enter. Then the door opened.


    Qiao Liangjin instantly retreated a few steps and hid behind a tree. From the entrance, an angry woman rushed out. She completely ignored the heavy snow, and rushed towards the alley not too far away.


    The clanging sounds coming from his body made Qiao Liangjin, who had her eyes closed, able to guess which woman it was.


    Qiao Liangjin thought of the message that had been sent to him from the clean-up team saying that Nangong and Yu Linglong were together and had no idea what they were plotting. Qiao Liangjin felt that even with his toes, he could imagine that the two of them must have been plotting to get rid of the Seventh Prince and bring ruin to themselves.


    However, since both of them liked the Seventh Marquis, the alliance wouldn''t exist. Qiao Liangjin wasn''t worried that these two people would pose any threat to him.


    Seeing the crimson door slowly close, Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment and then leaped over the wall.


    This was the second time he had come to the Seventh Prince''s Mansion. The last time he had come, it was still to watch the snow together with Su Qing.


    Qiao Liangjin followed his memories and walked to the front of the tower. When he looked up, he saw that the highest level of the tower was indeed lit with candles.


    She gently pushed open the door, lifted up her skirt, and slowly climbed up the tower, level after level. She went up very slowly, and as she thought of herself approaching that red clothed man, her heart couldn''t help but beat faster.


    She was only persuading herself to thank him. Why was it that the closer she got to him, the more confused she felt in her heart?


    When she reached the highest floor of the tower, she looked up and saw the man with his back to the stairs. He was holding a glass of wine in his hand as he looked out the window at the snow.


    Hearing the sound of footsteps, that man did not bother to turn his head around and asked, "Hong Liang, did you all take out the chairs that Princess Nangong had sat on to burn?"


    "Seventh Prince is truly as rich as a nation." Qiao Liangjin''s melodious voice suddenly resounded from behind Su Chen.


    The clear figure trembled visibly and turned around with a faint smile. With that glance, the thousand-year-old snow was melted by the spring wind, and the entire world was turned into nothingness under that person''s smile.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heartbeat sped up and he cursed silently. What a devilish man.


    "You ¡­ "I''m awake ¡­" That elegant and pleasant baritone was heard by Qiao Liangjin.


    He then walked over to the table and sat down in front of it. He raised a pair of chopsticks, and under the candlelight, he took a close look, smiled and said, "You didn''t even touch the chopsticks, I just drank some chicken soup, and now I''m starving."


    Saying so, he began to eat the food on the table in big mouthfuls.


    Su Qing sat down opposite her and put down the wine cup in her hand, quietly watching the girl in front of him eating the food in big mouthfuls. He did not think that she looked bad eating, but rather that she looked crude.


    Qiao Liangjin ate until his belly was round, then he put down his chopsticks and crooked his fingers: "Here''s your wine, can I try it?"


    Qing Qing pulled the wine jug closer to her, shook her head and said, "You''ve just recovered from your illness, so you can''t drink. I can keep the wine and drink with you when you''ve fully recovered. How about that?"


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed the tip of his nose and muttered: "It''s not that exaggerated, is it?"


    Just as they were talking, the sound of a zither came from outside the tower. Although Qiao Lianjin didn''t understand zither chess, at least after hearing Bai Wu''s zither music, he could tell if it was pleasant or not.


    Qiao Liangjin scratched his ears and asked with a frown, "Who else is near you? Why is it so noisy, not playing the zither in the middle of the night, and it sounds so bad?"


    Su Ling then said with a sigh, "I presume that Yu Ling is playing the piano?"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows and was immediately amused. Since when did Yu Linglong move to the vicinity of the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion? No wonder he could hear the zither in the middle of the night, it must be Yu Linglong who was complaining right?


    She was in the middle of discussing matters with Su Qing, and the music did not sound harmonious at all. With slight anger, she walked to the window, pushed it open and shouted, "Su Qing is already asleep, how can you let us go?!"


    The zither music abruptly stopped.


    The snow and wind around him seemed to have stopped. Lu Li, who was standing on the wall, fell down with a thud.


    The guards downstairs also suddenly stopped their patrolling and raised their heads to look at the tall tower.


    It was very quiet.


    Qiao Linjian closed the window. Only then did she remember that this wasn''t the Flower Luck Pavilion. She really wanted to give herself a slap. Why did she ¡­ How to...


    Finally, Su Bai could no longer hold it in. "Puchi", he laughed out loud.


    Qiao Liangjin squatted on the ground with a bitter face, tugging at his hair and complaining, "How could I forget that this place isn''t my brothel, how could I ¡­" I... "Heavens ¡­"


    Looking at her laughing face, Qiao Liangjin wished that his eyes could kill.


    [Why can''t the legendary Ice Mountain King hold me back anymore?] Why are you laughing so happily?


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and walked over to the table dejectedly. He sat down heavily on the chair and then lay down on the table with an aggrieved expression on his face. He said, "Ming''er, everyone knows that I came to sleep with you again ¡­"


    Su Yan finally stopped laughing, but there was still a smile on her face as she said, "Li Yizhi has been by my side all this time. Although he hasn''t seen the person with the golden mask, he remembers that person''s voice.


    Qiao Liangjin was fiddling with the teacup in his hand as he asked, "Have you brought him to meet your brother before?"


    After clearing his silence for a moment, he slowly nodded his head.


    Qiao Liangjin put down his teacup and said with a look of trust, "Okay, I believe you."


    Saying that, he stood up, walked to the screen, took off his cloak, put it on himself, waved his hand towards Su Hengqing and said, "It''s already too late, I''m here to express my gratitude. Thank you for taking care of me for the past few days. "As a person, I clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred. I should thank you for that. I won''t be ambiguous in the slightest."


    Su Qing nodded slightly.


    Qiao Liangjin was about to go downstairs when he seemed to have thought of something. He paused and said, "No need to send me off, I know that I have your secret guard by my side, and they will take care of me. Your dark circles are really big, rest well."


    Qing Qing smiled and lowered her head, her smile shining in all directions. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with warmth, and she ¡­ He actually knew how to care about himself. It was a small improvement.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had returned to the Flowergold Pavilion, went to sleep all the way until noon of the next day.


    When he woke up, he heard that Zhen Zhen Zhen Xin was taking Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er to the nunnery in the south of the city to recite Buddhist scriptures for the madame. The matter of the Prime Minister''s Estate was temporarily handed over to Aunt Guo Caiting, who had just recovered a little.


    Qiao Liangjin slowly ate the porridge in his bowl and asked, "What about Qiao Yin?"


    "Second Miss suffered a chill in the ancestral hall because of the shock. Second Madame had been begging for mercy, so on account of Second Aunt''s recent miscarriage, Master asked Second Miss to stay at home, but she was not allowed to take even half a step out of the Singing Pavilion." Ruo Lan replied.


    Qiao Liangjin put down his spoon, raised his chopsticks and lightly tapped the back of Yu Sheng''s hand. With a frown, he asked, "You still don''t know how to use chopsticks?"


    Yu Sheng, who was eating the dumplings, sucked his fingers with his mouth and picked up his chopsticks, letting out a sigh.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and said, "Yusheng, you''re so disgusting. Why don''t you learn from Spirit Swirls?"


    The nearby Spirit Swirl, who was eating, shyly lowered its head again.


    Yu Sheng raised his chopsticks in dissatisfaction and pointed to the sky. "I''m a fox spirit. Eating raw meat and drinking fresh blood. Now that I''m eating your mortal food, I''ve already given in."


    Qiao Liangjin moved his finger closer to Yu Sheng and snorted coldly, "Isn''t it about time to drink my blood?"

 C86 The Banquet of the Princess

    "I''m full now. I''ll wait for the next full moon."


    Ruo Lan came in from outside with a letter. "Miss, the princess has sent you an invitation."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows twitched. These ancient ladies, was there really nothing to do? All day long, she had been competing for jealousy. Was the purpose of this post merely to know why she had made a noise in the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion last night?


    Ruo Lan tilted her head and asked, "Miss, are you going?" If you don''t go, I''ll return to the guard. "


    Qiao Liangjin actually didn''t want to go. When she saw Yu Linglong''s sinister look, she felt that she had lost her appetite. Recently, she had been sick and didn''t want to get angry, but she didn''t want to be scared.


    Arriving at the princess'' mansion, the moment he entered, he saw a long tea table with delicate plates placed on it. It was filled with enthusiasm and was in the middle of the room. On the left was Princess Nangong and on the right was Princess Yu Linglong.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin come in, Yu Linglong straightened her back and nodded with a slight smile. She then scolded the two guards, "What did you do? After going for so long, you made the Seventh Prince wait here for so long."


    Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin nodded his head.


    This Yu Linglong was really more scheming than Nangong. She had already started firing at him without batting an eyelid.


    The guard quickly kneeled on one knee and explained, "The servants deserve to die. The servants have been waiting for a long time at the Prime Minister''s Residence ¡­"


    "I''ve only just woken up and I''ve been sick recently. So, it''s only now that I''ve put on my clothes, consumed some medicine, and it''s also about time to drag things out. Don''t blame them anymore, Your Highness." Qiao Liangjin emphasized the last four words.


    Seeing that Qiao Liangjin had arrived, Qing Shui pointed at the steamed bun in front of him and smiled: "This steamed bun feels pretty good."


    Nangong used his chopsticks to pick up the steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth, nodding continuously, "The taste is indeed not bad."


    Qiao Liangjin found a seat and sat down. Ha, in front of her was the chicken she had been thinking about for a long time. What good luck.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his chopsticks and placed the whole chicken in front of him. Then, he tore off a piece of the chicken leg and started eating with relish.


    When she raised her head, she discovered that other than the two girls who were currently eating, the other two girls were looking at her in surprise.


    She looked at the chicken on her plate and seemed to have made up her mind. She put the rest of the chicken back on the plate and said, "Since you guys also like to eat, then you guys can have some as well."


    Nangong curled his lips and shook his head. "Your chopsticks have already been touched and you''re still letting us eat. How disgusting."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and picked up the chicken back into his plate and said: "Then I''ll eat it myself. Anyway, I gave it to you, you guys won''t eat it."


    Yu Linglong coughed softly and said with alluring eyes, "Seventh Prince, our Big Miss Qiao''s appetite is really good."


    Qing Qing smilingly looked at Qiao Liangjin, then pointed at the red prawn in front of her and said: "This one is also delicious, you should try it too."


    Yu Ling''s smile froze for a moment, but she immediately picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the plate in front of Qing Shui. She said, "The taste of this Yellow Flower Fish is extremely good. Please try it, Your Highness."


    He cleared his throat with a polite smile.


    Yu Linglong smiled and gracefully poured another cup of wine for Su Qing. "This is the wine I want from the West. Please have a taste."


    Nangong creased his eyebrows and looked at Yu Linglong''s smile. He had a bad taste in his heart. He carelessly poked the vegetable dish in front of him and asked, "My prince, do you have any vegetable dish that you like to eat?"


    Qing Qing put down her chopsticks and smiled lightly. "This King has already eaten his fill."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes. He was greedily nibbling on the chicken in front of him while looking at Qing Shui. How could this guy''s appetite be so small? He''s almost finished eating a chicken, and he''s so full without eating anything? Why is there such a huge gap between people?


    Yu Ling then put down her chopsticks and smiled, "I heard that Miss Qiao is always having accidents recently. How about this, I have some guards here who are skilled in martial arts and want to give them to Miss Qiao. How about that?"


    Clear brows slightly raised, the voice said slowly: "Oh? Guards? You want to gift it to me? "


    There was no hint of happiness or anger in his tone. Yu Linglong smiled and said, "No matter what, Miss Qiao is a woman like me and my bodyguard is also a woman. It is very easy to take care of her."


    "Is that so?" He cleared his throat with a faint smile.


    Yu Ling''s heart skipped a beat, she didn''t know what was the point of clearing up that smile.


    "I say, Princess, you really have a bad habit of playing the zither in the middle of the night. Last night, I was discussing some matters with the Prince, but you played the zither instead. It really makes me unhappy." After eating half a chicken, Qiao Liangjin finally let out a burp.


    When Yu Linglong thought about that loud roar last night, her face immediately darkened, but in an instant, her expression turned into a gentle smile: "That''s because I''m not sensible. Miss Qiao, don''t mind me. How about it? How about my guards give you a few? "


    "Not good." The voice was firm.


    Yu Linglong and Nangong were stunned. They didn''t understand why Su Qing had resolutely refused.


    There was still a smile in the corner of her eyes, but it was a cold smile. Looking at Yu Linglong''s smiling face, the smile made her shiver for no reason.


    Yu Linglong gave a dry smile and waved her hand, "Since Prince has refused on behalf of Miss Qiao, then I won''t say any more. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful."


    Qiao Liangjin was a little confused, why did he reject Yu Linglong? Although she knew that Yu Linglong definitely didn''t treat her so well, was it really okay to reject her like this?


    She didn''t quite understand this scheming and scheming.


    Pushing aside the utensils in front of him, Qiao Liangjin stood up and said, "I''m full. I''ll go back first. Thank you for the princess'' delicacy. It tastes very good, thank you."


    With that, he turned and left.


    Yu Linglong looked at Qiao Liangjin''s generous back and said with a smile, "Miss Qiao is really simple and honest, why is she so happy? I really admire her."


    When Nangong heard this, he let out a muffled grunt.


    Su Qing glanced at Nangong and smiled, "That''s right. With a woman like her, you don''t have to worry about being tricked."


    Yu Linglong''s face turned pale and she lowered her head.


    Qiao Liangjin left the princess'' mansion. At the entrance, a purple smoke welcomed her into the carriage. He then asked, "Miss, how was it?"


    "Yeah, her family''s chef cooking is quite good." Qiao Liangjin nodded in satisfaction.


    Just as he arrived at the entrance to the Prime Minister''s Residence and opened the curtain, he saw Qiao Ruo Ying pacing back and forth in the snow.


    Qiao Liangjin jumped down from the carriage and smiled: "Brother, who are you waiting for? Could it be that Spirit Jade is coming? "


    As she talked about the spiritual jades, Qiao Ruo Ying''s ears turned red. She walked down the stairs and pulled Qiao Liangjin by the sleeve as she sized her up before saying, "I heard that Yu Ling invited you to dinner, but I felt bad. I''m waiting for you here. If you don''t come back in an hour, I ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin covered Qiao Ruo Ying''s mouth with one hand, wrinkled his nose, and said with a smile: "Don''t worry, where did all these people go?"


    With that, he raised his head to look at the snow that was still falling from the sky. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "This snow has already been falling for ten days. It''s not a good thing."


    Qiao Ruo Ying didn''t understand why she said that, but she heard Qiao Liangjin say, "Big brother, make a few houses outside the city gate that can avoid the wind and snow. Remember to warm them and prepare more rice to make porridge."


    Qiao Ruo Ying nodded. Her face reddened as she said, "Silver ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin patted his forehead and laughed: "I almost forgot, it''s about the silver."


    When he returned to the Golden Flower Pavilion, he took out a small box from under the bed. Inside the box was fifty thousand silver notes. Qiao Liangjin passed it to Qiao Ruo Ying.


    Qiao Ruo Ying was speechless as he looked at the banknotes in his hand. "Little sister, where did you get these banknotes?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled mysteriously and pushed Qiao Ruo Ying out the door. He said, "Quickly go and do something. If you don''t have enough money, tell me."


    Pushing Qiao Ruo Ying away, he held onto the doorjamb as he stood at the door, watching the snow falling from the sky without stopping. If she was not mistaken, as long as it was snowing like this for ten days or so and became a snowstorm, there would be a need for relief. The emperor would definitely suppress the matter and pass it to Qiao Zheng.


    How could Qiao Zheng take out silver to help with the disaster? That was not what the emperor was worried about. The money from the national treasury would not be enough to satisfy the victims.


    Sighing lightly, Qiao Liangjin turned around and prepared to return to his room.


    Suddenly, someone called out softly from outside the door, "Jin''er, is Jin''er here?"


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and looked at the door. Amidst the swirling snow, a woman slowly walked over. The servant girl held an umbrella, blocking the wind and snow as it fell on the girl''s delicate face.


    "Cousin, what''s the matter?" Qiao Liangjin asked straightforwardly.


    "Jin''er, I heard that half of Ya Er''s body is now extremely inconvenient ¡­" Qiao Ningzi''s voice was still weak.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at this so-called elder cousin in front of him quietly. She was truly weak and delicate. She was so delicate that it made people''s hearts ache for her.


    "Then wait for her to come back and find me." After saying that, Qiao Liangjin turned around and prepared to enter the sect.


    However, Qiao Ningzi hurriedly said, "Little sister, there should be some misunderstanding between us. Can you let me go in together and have a chat with you?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked back and sized up Qiao Ningzi''s face with a smile. This Qiao Ningzi was truly an expert at seeing the wind and using the wind. Now that Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er, who were in her company, were out of the house, and Qiao Yin was grounded, she could only lower her head.


    This kind of woman was a true opponent if she was willing to yield.


    Qiao Liangjin simply turned around and said with a smile, "I''m not sure what misunderstanding my cousin is talking about, and I don''t think there''s any misunderstanding between us. You saw it too, I''m sick, I don''t know anything."


    Qiao Ningzi''s heart skipped a beat. She knew Qiao Liangjin wasn''t going to give her the chance. Her face froze for a moment, and her eyes dimmed down. "Fine, little sister said that there''s no misunderstanding, so there''s no misunderstanding."


    After saying that, he turned around and left. Looking at his departing back through the snowstorm, it was truly a heartbreaking sight.


    The servant girl with the umbrella, Feng Yin, turned around, frowned and shook her head at Qiao Liangjin, then quickly followed.

 C87 Pulling out the Knife to Help

    Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath, pointed at the sky and roared: "Old man, aren''t you tired?!"


    The sound was extremely sharp, as if it was going to cut through the sky and pierce through the entire House of Generals.


    Back in his room, Yu Sheng and the Spirit Swirl had already returned to their respective forms, seemingly cultivating. Qiao Lianjin calmly cut his own wrist, and dripped his blood onto the corner of Yu Sheng''s lips, transforming into a silver fox. He constantly licked the area around his lips, licking all of Qiao Liangjin''s blood.


    Suddenly, he opened his eyes. His originally black pupils had turned a faint golden color. It was only for a moment, but that golden color had disappeared without a trace.


    When he saw the mutation in the pupil, Qiao Liangjin was pleasantly surprised, but he did not intend to disturb his cultivation. He applied ointment to the wound, and after stopping the bleeding, he wrapped himself in a handkerchief, walked to the desk, and removed the cloth. In front of him was a portrait of a man dressed in red.


    Qiao Liangjin felt that he had gone mad. Why did he need to draw a clean picture? He turned around and looked at Bai Wu who was playing the zither behind him, and decided to give the painting to Bai Wu Chen.


    Qiao Liangjin had always done whatever he wanted. He immediately kept the painting and walked to the door. He called Kuan and said: "Accompany me to the chrysanthemum palace."


    Ah Kuan''s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don''t worry, I won''t betray you."


    Ah Kuan seemed to finally relax and smiled, "Alright."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a little defeated. He rubbed the tip of his nose and asked, "Why don''t you trust your master that much?"


    Ah Kuan just smiled and did not answer.


    When they arrived at the chrysanthemum restaurant, An Ge wasn''t there. Qiao Liangjin went straight up to the second floor and rushed to Bai Wu Chen''s door. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard two voices coming from inside.


    "We should go." An unfamiliar voice.


    "It''s not time yet, someone is coming. Stop talking." This was the voice of Bai Wuchen.


    Go? Where to? Was Bai Wu leaving? Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a strange sense of loss in his heart. However, he pulled himself together and thought, this is also good. After all, this is not a long term place.


    Having been friends with Bai Wu for so long, didn''t she want him to live better?


    She coughed lightly. This time, she knocked on the door politely.


    Bai Wu opened the door, seemingly not surprised at all that the one standing outside was Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked at Bai Wuwen''s pale face. She shook her head and frowned, "Did you not eat your medicine properly? "Why does your skin still look so bad?"


    With that, he looked over Bai Wu Chen''s shoulder into the room, but there was no one there. It was as if Bai Wu Chen had never spoken to anyone before.


    "Why are you here with such a heavy snow?" Bai Wuya moved to the side and gave up his spot.


    Qiao Liangjin entered the room. The temperature inside the room was very suitable. It seemed like An Ge was still taking care of him with all his heart.


    She passed the scroll in her hand to Bai Wu, saying, "This is for you. I don''t have anything to do, just drawing it for fun."


    With a shallow smile, Bai Wuqing opened the painting and stared at himself, stunned.


    Her paintings were so mesmerizing that they vividly depicted her melancholy.


    Qiao Liangjin stood quietly on the spot, as if he was waiting for Bai Wu Chen''s comments.


    Bai Wuqing put away the painting and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Qiao. The painting is very spiritual and I like it very much."


    Qiao Liangjin was slightly disappointed as he looked at Bai Wuyi''s still unmoving eyes. He waved his hand and sat down on a chair. He smiled and said, "It''s been a long time since I''ve come to see you. I''ve been thinking about your health. I didn''t expect it to be like this."


    The corner of Bai Wu''s mouth curled up as he shook his head and sighed softly, "It was originally an illness brought about in the womb. Bai Wu was fortunate to be able to survive until now, and to be able to get to know Miss Qiao in his lifetime is also a fortunate thing."


    Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin felt a little upset in his heart. He didn''t know why, but he had the feeling that every time he chatted with her, he would say goodbye to her, as if he and her might never see each other again.


    Qiao Liangjin coughed lightly and asked: "Bai Wu, do you want to leave?"


    Bai Wu who was pouring the tea suddenly paused, and then continued to pour the tea, his voice still as flat and unremarkable as before: "Miss Qiao is not bad to Bai, Bai Wu still has no intention of leaving for the time being."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed lightly and moved his eyes away from Bai Wu''s snow-white hands. He said, "You have to have your own life after all."


    Bai Wuqing passed the teacup in his hands to Qiao Lianjin and smiled. He did not reply but lifted the cloth off the table, revealing his green calyx.


    His long fingers streaked across the green calyx, and the sweet sound of a zither rang out.


    Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes and quietly listened to the white zither music until it was over. He then opened his eyes and said with a bitter smile: "Listening to your zither music, I feel that the most beautiful thing in the world is here. Listen to your zither music, and listen to the music of others, and think that other people''s zither music is like slaughtering pigs."


    Bai Wuyun was finally amused by Qiao Liangjin''s words, a smile blooming on his lips.


    After leaving the chrysanthemum restaurant, Qiao Liangjin walked leisurely in the snow. Behind him was Kuan. Qiao Liangjin asked Kuan, "You seem to like makeup."


    Ah Kuan''s honest face was immediately filled with a suspicious red cloud. His originally taciturn personality was revealed by Qiao Liangjin, causing him to become even more shy.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and immediately began striding back and forth, saying: "Such a beautiful lady, a noble is easy to catch!"


    After walking past a small alley, Qiao Liangjin''s eyes swept across the place and he suddenly stopped. As if he had discovered something extraordinary, she took a few steps back and looked towards that alley.


    A few hoodlums surrounded a girl, pushing her away.


    The cotton skirt that was not considered thick was torn, revealing the young girl''s skin.


    The eyes of the hoodlums lit up, and they began to speak more and more obscenities, as if they were getting more and more excited.


    Qiao Liangjin walked silently behind a few thugs, and suddenly let out a "wow".


    The thugs'' attention was completely focused on the young girl in ragged clothes. Who knew that someone who wasn''t afraid of death would appear behind them? They were so shocked that they jumped on the spot.


    Turning his head, he saw a fat woman scratching her nose. She was all smiles as she asked, "What game are you guys playing? It looks really fun. I also want to play, can you bring me along?"


    The thugs revealed looks of disappointment and waved their hands, roaring: "Scram, scram! Don''t dirty my eyes! Such a fat woman, she actually has the nerve to come over!" "Come, come, little girl, let''s warm your body for you ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin looked down at his bloated body and laughed happily. He squeezed past the thugs and shyly lowered his head, using his toes to draw circles in the snow: "Aiya, I''m 20 years old this year. If I want to get married, who would like me?"


    The thugs froze on the spot. They had never seen such a scene before, so why would such a shameless woman come over and try to stop them? Aren''t you afraid of losing your reputation?


    One of the thugs, who looked like the boss, spat on the snow, stretched out a hand that didn''t seem to have been washed for a long time, pointed at Qiao Liangjin and asked, "Where did you come from?"


    Qiao Liangjin still had his head down, pretending to be shy, but he took off his cloak and casually threw it to the girl behind him.


    The girl quickly took the cloak and draped it over her body. Her slender hand lightly pulled on Qiao Liangjin''s arm and said with a trembling voice, "Miss, you ¡­ Let''s go, they... "They ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand lightly patted the back of the girl''s hand as if he was comforting her. He suddenly raised his head and smiled coquettishly.


    That smile was like the sun that had suddenly appeared in a storm of snow. It was so dazzling that it made the thugs lose some color. Only now did they realize that the fat woman in front of them actually had a pretty face.


    One of the thugs next to him poked his boss''s arm and said softly, "This woman may be fat, but she still has a pretty good face. From the looks of it, she''s a beauty. Why don''t we ¡­"


    The boss glared at the yuppie and snorted. He pointed at him and asked, "Fat woman, what do you think of this brat? How about you have her accompany you? "


    Qiao Liangjin raised his chin and looked up at the drifting snow in the sky. He didn''t answer and just stretched out his palm, and then the snow drifting in the sky, and his voice was especially sweet: "Have you guys seen the red plum blossoming in the snow?"


    "What?"


    Before he could finish his words, the thugs felt a strong gust of wind from behind them. Before they could see what was going on, the thugs had already fallen to the ground, moaning.


    Qiao Liangjin took a few light steps and walked to the side of the Eldest Brother. His delicate foot stomped on a vital part of his body without hesitation. The thug let out a blood-curdling screech as he fainted from the pain.


    Qiao Liangjin did not stop her steps. She stepped over the boss and fiercely stepped on everyone''s arms or legs. She only felt satisfied when she heard the sound of bones breaking.


    The girl was obviously shocked by the turn of events. She looked at the thugs in front of her with her eyes wide open and her tongue-tied. Qiao Liangjin was stomping on them one by one to break their bones.


    A''Kuang held a stick and stood aside like a pillar holding up the sky, quietly watching his master''s actions.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled out his dagger and squatted in front of the hoodlum who said that he looked pretty good. He waved the dagger in his hand and asked with a smile: "Am I good?"


    The hoodlum was so scared by Qiao Liangjin''s ruthless methods that he could only nod his head and not do anything else. His entire body trembled.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned. She could smell an unpleasant odor. How disgusting! This person looks like a human. How could he be so timid and be scared to the point of peeing?


    Qiao Liangjin stood up, covered his nose and took a few steps back. "You''re so disgusting, you''re the right one. I don''t want to touch you anymore. Remember, if you see me in the future, take a detour."


    Hearing that Qiao Liangjin had let him go, the hoodlum crawled up and kowtowed repeatedly. His forehead was about to be smashed, and blood splattered into the snow like a blossoming red plum.

 C88 Rescue Woman

    The thug kowtowed and asked, "May I know which family you are from?"


    Qiao Liangjin released his hand and walked to the side of the woman who was scared to the point that she didn''t dare to move. He supported her as they slowly walked to the mouth of the alley. He turned his head and smiled. "Qiao Liangjin."


    The thugs were stunned. Qiao Liangjin? Legend has it that Fatty was a fanatic? Was her way of doing things really her?


    He vaguely remembered that the legendary prodigy in the capital looked exactly the same as the one in front of him. The only difference was her temperament, which was completely different from the one in the legends.


    Shaking his head, he looked around at his brothers who had their bones broken. Wiping away the blood on their foreheads, he made a decision to leave the Royal City overnight.


    He stood up, turned around and was about to leave the box, then blinked his eyes and fell heavily onto the snow.


    A clear figure stood amidst the wind and snow. There was not a single expression on his face. The thugs lying on the ground did not even manage to see what had happened before their souls had already returned to their homeland.


    He looked at the thugs moaning on the ground and waved to the guard beside him. The guard came closer and said softly, "Go and castrate them. Throw them in the streets."


    The guards that had followed him quietly led the thugs out of the alley.


    Qiao Liangjin brought that young lady, who was almost humiliated, back to the mansion. When Zi Yan saw Qiao Liangjin bringing a young woman back, she was slightly surprised and asked, "Miss, this is ¡­"


    "What''s your name?" Only then did Qiao Liangjin remember that she had forgotten to ask for his name along the way.


    "My name is Caihe." The woman almost hid her face in her cloak.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and said to Zi Yan: "This is Caihe, take it and apply some medicine for her, and also find a set of clothes to change into."


    Zi Yan nodded and brought Cai He back to her room.


    Pai Di followed Qiao Liangjin into the room. She quickly used a broom to wipe away the snow on her body and asked, "Miss, then Caihe ¡­ How did you give her your cloak? "Since you''ve just recovered from a serious illness, you can''t get cold anymore."


    Qiao Liangjin pursed his lips and smiled in an unfathomable manner. She took off her battle robe and threw it to the side. She then looked at Yu Sheng who was eating his chicken feet and asked, "Have you written what I taught you?"


    Yu Sheng raised his chicken feet and pointed at the desk, continuing to nibble on the chicken feet as he asked the spiritual whirlpool beside him, "Do you want to eat it?"


    Qiao Liangjin glared fiercely at the back of Yu Sheng''s head before reprimanding him, "You don''t have any sincerity at all. You know that they will let you win."


    Saying that, he went to his desk. When he saw the words written by Yu Sheng, his eyebrows immediately stood up and he roared angrily, "Yu Sheng! This was a written word? Just like chicken feet, you are not allowed to eat chicken feet anymore! "


    He then picked up the plate of chicken feet and put it in her hand. He pointed to the door and said, "Collect all of these chicken feet. Eat them all. When is he done writing? Let''s talk about it when he eats."


    Yu Sheng immediately had a bitter face as he looked pitifully at Qiao Liangjin. He said aggrievedly, "I''m just a small vixen. Can you not be so harsh on me?"


    Qiao Liangjin took out a letter from his desk and shook it. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "If you have something to do, are you going to paint a message for me like before? "I''m not a painter, so I can''t guess what you want to say. I''m sorry."


    Ling Xuan quietly got down from the stool and pulled Yu Sheng''s sleeve as he whispered: "I''ll practice with you."


    Qiao Lianjin loved to look like a sensible man. He couldn''t help but take a few more glances at Yu Sheng before letting out two more sighs. Suddenly, he said, "Remember, in the future, call me mother. Don''t call me master."


    Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan were somewhat puzzled, but when they saw Qiao Lianjin''s mischievous smile, Yu Cheng knew that this woman was going to bully her again.


    Zi Yan''s voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Cai He has already been prepared."


    Qiao Liangjin picked up a book and leaned against the beauty bed. After he was done with his preparations, he looked towards Yu Sheng and Ling Suo and signaled them to hide behind another beauty bed prepared for them. Only then did he say softly, "Come in."


    Zi Yan pushed open the door and brought in a purple robed Cai He.


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Caihe, put down the book in his hand and smiled, "No wonder those thugs want to mess with you. Looking at your current appearance, I can''t help but feel happy. Caihe, you really are a beauty."


    Caihe lowered her head as if she was a coward. Upon hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, she quickly kneeled down and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you Miss Qiao for saving me. Caihe is willing to enter the palace and become Miss Qiao''s servant."


    Qiao Liangjin said with a faint smile, "Caihe, not just anyone can enter this mansion. I only saved you because I love to play, so you don''t have to worry about it. In a while, ask Zi Yan to bring you some silver and two sets of clothes, and you can go back."


    Caihe was slightly startled as she raised her head to look at Qiao Liangjin in confusion.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, smiled as he looked at the kneeling Caihe, without any intention of letting her get up.


    This Caihe was truly beautiful. Her beauty didn''t resemble the jade-like appearance of a small family. This was the thing that Qiao Liangjin couldn''t understand the most.


    Cai He''s and Qiao Lianjin''s eyes met, then she hurriedly lowered her head, kowtowing and saying, "Then many thanks to little miss for saving my life. I don''t need the silver, if there is any place I can get Qiao Lianjin from in the future ¡­"


    "Speaking of something useful, I suddenly recalled that my brother doesn''t seem to have a personal maid. Zi Yan, is my brother always by his side as an attendant?" Qiao Liangjin asked even though he already knew the answer.


    Zi Yan nodded. She didn''t know what this master was up to either.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up with a smile on his face and walked straight to the side of Caihe. He gently helped her up, and looked her up and down before saying, "Not bad, if you really want to repay my kindness, then go serve my brother. He will be your master from now on."


    When Caihe heard that the person she had to serve was this young master from the Prime Minister''s Estate, her face flushed red, but she nodded obediently.


    Seeing that Caihe had agreed, Qiao Liangjin sent someone to invite Qiao Ruo Ying to the Flowermoney Pavilion.


    When Qiao Ruo Ying heard that Qiao Liangjin was looking for her, she rushed over to the Flowergold Pavilion. She pushed open the door and barged in with a blizzard on her back. "Sister, what''s the matter?"


    Qiao Liangjin closed the door and said with a smile, "Big Brother, I have a woman here. She has a beautiful figure and an outstanding appearance, so she can definitely be your servant. So I decided to keep her as my personal maid. What do you think?"


    She didn''t know what Qiao Liangjin meant, but the moment she heard he was looking for a servant girl, she quickly waved her hands and rejected him, "No way no way, I''m a coarse old man, I only have a servant girl. If you give me a cute girl, I really don''t know where to place my courtyard."


    Qiao Liangjin put his hand on Qiao Ruo Ying''s arm and said with a smile: "Big brother, you aren''t young anymore. You need a girl to take care of you."


    He lowered his head and looked at Qiao Liangjin''s smile. It was very cold, and not a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly smiled and said, "Fine, since it''s my sister''s wish, then I''ll take it."


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and waved towards Caihe, who was standing beside the table, "Caihe, come. This is my brother. He''ll be your master from now on. You have to serve him well, understand?"


    Cai He didn''t even dare raise her head as she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. "Your servant greets Master."


    Qiao Ruoyin said, "Ah, get up. Come back to my yard with me later. There are still a lot of things over there. Let Ruofeng tell you what to do."


    Cai He stood up and immediately stood obediently at the door.


    "Caihe, help us to move our things into the kitchen."


    Caihe immediately left the room.


    Seeing that Cai He had left, Qiao Ruoying quickly asked, "What is going on here? Where did this woman come from? "Why did you leave it with me?"


    Qiao Liangjin took a sip of his tea and smiled, "Someone wanted to know about the affairs of our Prime Minister''s Estate, and also wanted to know about the things around me, so I sent someone over."


    Qiao Ruo Ying replied with an "Oh". She thought about it and thought, "Something''s not right. Who is it? Who dares to rush over openly." She could not hide her anger: "What? Which one of you who doesn''t want to die actually dares to monitor you like this? "


    "It''s only some trickery between women. Big brother, you need to pay attention to her. Don''t let her drug you with a knockout drug."


    "Hmph, I don''t like scheming women like you. It''s disgusting just looking at them."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled evilly, poked Qiao Ruoyin''s forearm, and raised his eyebrows as he asked: "Do you like simple and honest women like Ling Yu?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying did not expect Qiao Liangjin to bring up the spiritual jade. She rubbed her nose as she blushed and muttered, "I don''t even know what you''re talking about."


    After Qiao Ruo Ying left with the newly arrived Caihe, the three maids surrounded Qiao Liangjin. Just as they were about to raise their own questions, Qiao Liangjin laughed: "Did you all hold back for a long time? Do you really want to know why I kept her here?"


    The three maidservants nodded at the same time, looking like they were all listening attentively.


    Qiao Liangjin crooked his finger, and Dai Di brought over a cup of tea. Purple smoke massaged Qiao Liangjin''s shoulders, and Ruo Lan gently massaged her calves.


    Qiao Liangjin was satisfied as he watched the three of them divide up the work. He smiled and said: "Firstly, that alley is the one where I killed people. I am curious, why would there be another incident in this alley? "Later on, I thought about it and I knew that alley was the one I used to pass by."


    "Secondly, that girl''s skin is too white, so white that it seems like ¡­ It had been a long time since he last basked in the sun. How could a girl from a normal family be this white? I was curious. "


    "Thirdly, when I broke the bones of those people, although she was shivering, her legs weren''t weak, and her eyes were filled with viciousness. That gaze is something that cannot be concealed from the outside world. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curved into a strange smile, his eyes filled with a mischievous look.

 C89 Night Visit

    "Since she wants me to save her and return with me, then I will naturally bring her back. However, our Prime Minister''s Estate is hard to enter." Qiao Liangjin yawned and crooked his finger, causing her to hand over another apple.


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and said with a laugh: "Look, I like you guys like this, you guys are too smart, I love you guys so much, even if it''s 1 million gold taels in exchange for you guys, I''m not willing."


    Ruo Lan couldn''t hold back her laughter. "Enough, miss. There really is a million gold. I''m afraid you''ve already prepared us to be delivered to someone else''s door."


    Qiao Liangjin''s thoughts were exposed. He couldn''t help but smile as he nodded his head, "You talk too much."


    After laughing and cursing, Qiao Liangjin turned off the light and laid on the bed. He wanted to fall asleep, but he felt that the fire dragon was a bit hot today. He couldn''t fall asleep, so he kicked away the blanket. Ye Zichen laid down beside the bed.


    Thinking of Yu Linglong''s despicable methods, she couldn''t help but laugh mockingly. The ancients were the ancients, the methods they played were the ones she had seen a hundred times on TV, without any novelty at all.


    However, this Cai He was a ruthless person. Thinking about how she did it today, her eyes were bloodthirsty and filled with joy. She suddenly felt that putting that girl by her brother''s side without any martial arts skills was too dangerous.


    He suddenly sat up and smashed the bed with a bit of vexation. He got up and was about to head over to Qiao Ruo Ying''s side.


    Just as she put on her cloak and was about to open the door, Qiao Liangjin saw a tall figure standing there. She was shocked and subconsciously wanted to punch him.


    The black shadow stopped her fist and said in an extremely low voice, "Jin''er, it''s me."


    The moment Qiao Liangjin heard the voice, he smiled and said, "Ning Ying, is that you?"


    She turned around and pulled the black shadow''s hand into the room. When she saw the candle on the table, she had already taken off her cloak and was sitting at the table, looking at Qiao Liangjin with a warm smile on her face.


    Qiao Liangjin also sat down, supporting his chin with both hands and asked: "Did you return to the Southern Kingdom? I''m sorry. "


    Ning Xi seemed to be in a good mood, her voice was still as gentle as ever. "How do you want to apologize?"


    "If it weren''t for my disaster, I''m afraid that you would not have returned to the Royal City." Qiao Liangjin''s goal was to force Nan Li to return, but who would have thought that this Wang Ningxi would also be recalled.


    Ning Xi revealed her pure white teeth as she smiled, shook her head and said, "How is it your fault. I heard about it too, you barged into the army camp alone and took off Ma Ji''s head. However, a group of assassins from the Eastern Kingdom had already snuck into the capital. Their goal is your brother. "


    Qiao Liangjin wasn''t surprised at all. When she first handed over her title to Qiao Ruo Ying to claim the credit, she knew that this matter would definitely come to an end. The Eastern Kingdom definitely wouldn''t let Qiao Ruo Ying off.


    Seeing that Qiao Liangjin was not surprised at all, Ning Xi lightly caressed her face with her long fingers, sighing, "Why are you so intelligent? It seems like everything is under your control. Suddenly, you feel like the news you brought back isn''t important at all."


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and smiled, "It''s important to see you safe and sound. As for other matters, we will deal with them once and for all."


    He took out a short treasured sword from his waist, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qiao Liangjin. He said worriedly, "You always like to take risks, so I found a peerless treasured sword in the Southern Kingdom for you. It is extremely sharp, and can cut through metal like mud."


    Qiao Liangjin picked up his treasured sword and lightly drew it. With a flash of cold light, his treasured sword was unsheathed. Qiao Liangjin lightly cut his own wrist, and a drop of fresh red blood slowly dripped down the sword.


    Ning Ying frowned. He took the treasured sword and placed it on the table. He pressed down Qiao Liangjin''s wound, took out some ointment, and gently wiped it on the thin knife''s edge.


    Qiao Liangjin did not care about the tiny cut at all and praised, "What an awesome sword! It didn''t even have a speck of blood on it. What''s its name?"


    Ning Xi shook her head. "I don''t know the name, but I feel that it''s very useful. I''ll give it to you, and you can test the sword if you want to test the sword. Why do you want to harm yourself?"


    Qiao Liangjin scratched his head as he looked around and smiled in embarrassment: "There''s no one else around here. That damn fox went to sleep next door again."


    Ning Ying carefully treated the wounds before standing up and putting the cloak back on his shoulders.


    Qiao Liangjin also stood up, looking at him and asked, "Are you leaving?"


    "Yeah, I came to see you. I''ll be fine after seeing that you''re safe. We still have to hurry back." Ning Ying said indifferently, with a trace of weariness in his voice.


    Qiao Liangjin blinked, he lowered his head to look at the treasured sword on the table, then raised his head to look at the man in the cape who was about to leave. He came all night to see if she was safe, then he gave her a treasured sword and left?


    What should he say? Qiao Liangjin did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    "Ning Ying, I''m fine, I''m fine, the weather is very cold, and if you travel like this, you will get caught in the cold." Ning Ying, I''m fine, I''m fine, the weather is very cold, and if you travel like this, you''ll get caught in the cold. Qiao Liangjin stood at the door as he watched Ning Ying, who had already left.


    Ning Ying slightly leaned to the side and lightly caught the snowflake with his hand. The way he retracted his hand after that was uncountable and elegant. He quietly left Qiao Liangjin''s courtyard without giving any reply.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and closed the door.


    Sitting in the fake mountain, Lu Bing rubbed his hands together, and carefully wrote down what had just happened on a piece of paper.


    After looking at the contents written by Lu Xiao, Lu Li gently held the paper in his hand and raised it up. The paper had already turned into ashes, falling onto the ground.


    Su Qing touched the tip of his nose and smiled, "Looks like I have to hurry up and marry her back."


    Qiao Liangjin, who was about to sleep, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and mumbled, "Who''s thinking of me?"


    The next day, while Qiao Liangjin was still sleeping, he heard an urgent knock on the door. It was Qiao Ruo Ying''s voice from outside. "Little sister, wake up quickly. There''s something wrong."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes, put on his coat and opened the door. He asked: "Is it because the commoners outside the city gate have already gathered?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying opened his mouth and looked at his little sister in disbelief. If it wasn''t for his own sister, he would have thought that she was a deity that had descended to the mortal realm. Why did he know what he was going to say before he even opened his mouth?


    Qiao Ruoyin nodded and frowned. "The emperor is already furious. He blamed Father for not settling the victims properly."


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips twitched as she gave a cold laugh. She knew that this useless Emperor would definitely push the matter of the disaster to Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Liangjin gave way and let Qiao Ruo Ying through the door, only to find that he was still alone. He asked: "Where is that servant girl?"


    "A woman who doesn''t know anything in my courtyard. I really don''t know what I''m going to do with her." When Qiao Ruo Ying mentioned that Caihe, she didn''t seem to want to talk about it.


    Qiao Liangjin washed his face and put on his battle robe. Then, he pulled Qiao Ruo Ying along as he walked out the door.


    Just as he walked out of the door, he thought for a moment, turned around and put the treasure sword on the table back. She wasn''t sure if the victims were the victims or the mob, so she wanted to go over and see.


    After getting on the carriage, Qiao Liangjin asked, "Have the wooden houses that I asked you to build a few days ago been completed?"


    Qiao Ruoyin nodded and said, "When you asked me, I had already done so and prepared five big pots."


    Qiao Liangjin did not speak. He lowered his head and twisted the corner of his cloak. He knew that his actions today would leave the Emperor with nothing to say. However, there would still be risks.


    Outside the city gates, they saw Qiao Zheng standing on a high platform, shouting something to the victims below.


    Suddenly, someone threw an egg over and smashed it heavily onto Qiao Zheng''s forehead. The white egg slowly slid down Qiao Zheng''s face.


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze followed the direction of where the egg had come from and he whispered to Bai a few words before walking to the front of the stage. Placing his hands on his stomach, he smiled and beckoned to Qiao Zheng who was on the stage, "Father, that is not a place for you to stay. Get down from there." These people all have eggs that can smash people, how can they be called victims of disasters? "


    The moment those words came out, those people who were really victims turned around and looked at the person who had smashed their eggs in anger.


    When that person saw that everyone was looking at him, he immediately shrunk his neck back.


    Qiao Zheng raised his sleeve and lightly wiped the egg white off his face before saying with a bitter smile, "This official understands everyone''s feelings. "Everyone, please calm down. We have started to gather food from all over the place. We will definitely be there within two days."


    Some of the victims began to ask, "Where do we sleep on this snowy day? What do we eat these two days? "


    Just as Qiao Zheng was about to speak, Qiao Liangjin turned to point at the back and shouted, "Everyone look, the prime minister has already prepared a wooden house and a pot. Everyone go quickly."


    The victims of the disaster looked in the direction Qiao Liangjin pointed. Sure enough, they saw Qiao Liangjin''s maids and guards busy moving the food. Someone waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, help out!"


    Almost everyone swarmed away. Qiao Liangjin turned around and looked at Qiao Zheng who was on the stage with a smile.


    Qiao Zheng was startled as he looked at the smiling Qiao Liangjin below the stage. He immediately understood that this was all done by his daughter.


    Carefully descending from the high platform, Qiao Liangjin helped Qiao Zheng up and grumbled: "Father, you''re already so old. Please don''t climb so high in the future, alright?" Didn''t our daughter already say that we have a daughter here, so you don''t need to worry. "


    Qiao Zheng smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice, "These rooms ¡­" And food? Where did the money come from? Your Majesty, how do you expect me to reply? "


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand without a care and smiled, "It''s just a small matter. I said I will clear the child''s maintenance and donate it to the family. If the emperor is surprised and knows that Qing Qing has a pair of children, he might even have to bestow upon us, the Prime Minister''s Mansion."


    Hearing this, Qiao Zheng seemed to make sense as he stroked his chin and laughed.


    The emperor, who was far away in the imperial palace, shivered as if some cold wind had blown through his study.

 C90 Table-top Gage

    Qiao Liangjin brought Qiao Zheng to arrange the residences of all the victims in an orderly manner. They also arranged for their food and drinks. By the time everything was settled, it was already late at night.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his aching arms and gave a big yawn before climbing into the carriage with Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Liangjin''s exhausted appearance and said with a pained heart: "Jin''er, it has been hard on you today."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and pointed to Qiao Ruo Ying who was riding a horse with him outside the carriage. She whispered: "Big brother is the hardest person to deal with today. Father, didn''t you notice that ever since big brother came back from Sheng Cheng, he had become much more mature?"


    Qiao Zheng pulled open the curtain and looked at Qiao Ruo Ying who was riding slowly beside the carriage late at night. He then closed the curtain and nodded his head with a bitter smile. "If Ying has changed a lot, he has learnt a lot during this trip to Sheng Cheng City."


    And then he said, "If it is really possible, I hope that you are really as naive and carefree as before. However ¡­ Father is probably really old, and does not have that much power to protect you, so you all have matured. "


    Qiao Liangjin was silent as she rested her head on Qiao Zheng''s shoulder. She knew how much pressure this man, who was serving the imperial court, was under. He was not a saint, and he could not do anything. However, the love he could give them was real.


    Seeing Qiao Zheng and Qiao Liangjin get off the carriage one by one, Guo Caijing walked over and worriedly said, "I heard that the victims are at the city gates today and that something is going to happen. I have been worried the entire time, seeing that you two have returned safely, I am relieved."


    Qiao Zheng patted Guo Caiting''s bony palm to comfort her.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was still a heartless person, rubbed his stomach and giggled, "Third Aunt, we are all starving. Is there anything good to eat?"


    Qiao Xinting supported Guo Caiting as she nodded and said, "Mom said Big Sis and Big Bro like eating rice balls and sweet and sour fish. They have long been prepared and are waiting for you two to come back."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he hurriedly used one hand to hold onto Qiao Zheng, one hand holding onto Guo Caiting''s other arm, and shouted to Qiao Ruo Ying who was behind him: "The enemy will arrive at the dining hall in thirty seconds. Everyone hurry up, no one fight with me for it today, I want to eat three big bowls of rice."


    Although Qiao Zheng was very tired, he had solved the problem of the people outside the city gates and was in a good mood. Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s mischievous appearance, he scratched the tip of her nose and laughed, "How old is this girl to still be so naughty?"


    Qiao Xinting who was standing to the side saw Qiao Zheng''s pampering towards Qiao Liangjin and the smile on her face froze. Qiao Liangjin had unluckily noticed this small action.


    Guo Caiting lightly tugged Qiao Xinting''s sleeve, shaking her head slightly. Qiao Xinting immediately lowered her head, supporting Guo Caiting as they entered the door.


    When they arrived at the dining room, the Countess, Qiao Maoshan and their wife and children were already seated. Seeing Qiao Lianjin and the rest enter, Qiao Maoshan immediately forced out a smile as he stood up to welcome them and said: "Big brother, we have heard of what happened outside the city today. Big brother has done this beautifully."


    Qiao Zheng gave two light coughs and looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with praise as he said: "If Jin''er had not gone out to help today, I''m afraid I would not be able to come back at this time."


    The old mistress groaned. She tapped the cane on the floor and said in a low voice, "She''s a girl after all. What''s wrong with showing your face all day long?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the madame indifferently, smiled and said: "In this Prime Minister Manor, other than my father, who else can help him solve his problem? You? Or you? Or ¡­ "You?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s slender fingers moved along Qiao Maoshan''s and Lin Fangli''s faces one by one. His face was filled with disdain.


    On the other hand, Qiao Zheng held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and said with a hint of rebuke, "Jin''er, that''s your uncle. Alright, alright, sit down and eat. Everyone is tired and hungry."


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and pulled Qiao Ruo Ying to sit on Qiao Zheng''s left and right while Qiao Xinting timidly stood beside Guo Caiting. Although she was a girl from the Prime Minister''s Estate, she rarely appeared in front of so many people.


    Qiao Liangjin sat down and turned around to look at Qiao Xinting behind him. He waved his hand and said, "Xinting, come and sit here."


    The madame''s face darkened immediately and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "Nonsense. A concubine can only serve the meal here, and she still wants to eat at the table?"


    Being scolded by the madame, Qiao Xinting was shocked. She timidly hid behind Guo Caiting.


    Qiao Liangjin stubbornly waved his hand and called out, "Xinting, come, sit with elder sister."


    Guo Caiting looked down awkwardly at Qiao Xinting who was hiding behind her, patting the back of her hand that was tightly gripping her arm, saying in a low voice, "Go, don''t worry, trust your elder sister."


    When the madame saw that Qiao Liangjin did not care about her face at all, she decided that she would take it out today. She shouted, "I want to see how she will eat this today!"


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand stopped. He turned around and looked at the madame. There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes. He actually made the madame shudder.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly let out a smile. He flicked his finger and something flew out. That old lady suddenly fell off her chair with a shivering body and fell to the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and walked in front of the madame. His fingers gently touched her body, but he said in a voice that only the madame could hear, "You will be fine. The madame is too old, it''s time to go back and rest."


    On the other side, Qiao Maoshan stomped his feet as he called for the servant outside to go find a doctor. At the same time, he angrily rebuked Qiao Liangjin who was squatting at the side: "Look at you, you really pissed your grandmother off."


    Qiao Liangjin ignored Qiao Maoshan who was stomping about. She knew that the thing Qiao Maoshan was most afraid of was that if the old lady died, then he would no longer have any excuse to stay in this Prime Minister''s Mansion.


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up slightly as he stood up and said, "Someone come and help the madame back. The madame is just old and not in a serious condition. Yun Chu, Wen''er, go serve the old lady and wait for the doctor to come take a look."


    Finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Maoshan with a coquettish smile, tilted her head and asked: "Second Uncle, aren''t you going to accompany the madame? It''s time to use you. "


    Qiao Mao Shan was startled and nodded his head. Then, he pulled Lin Fang Li and Qiao Zhi Yong and followed the madame out of the dining room.


    Qiao Zheng was about to follow the madame and see how her illness was faring when Qiao Liangjin pulled him back and said, "Father, let''s eat first. After you finish eating, we''ll pass through and the madame will recover. It''s not like she knows that you''ve gone."


    Qiao Ruo Ying''s impression of the madame had never been very good. She rubbed her stomach at this moment and looked pitifully at Guo Caiting as she said, "Aunt, it''s been a day since we last ate. I''m so hungry."


    Guo Caiting originally wanted to follow along and see the Countess'' situation, but after Qiao Liangjin''s words, she also stayed in the dining room and quickly called for the maidservants to serve the dishes.


    Qiao Liangjin stubbornly patted the seat beside him and called out to Qiao Xinting, "Xinting, come. Sit down."


    Qiao Xinting timidly lifted her head to look at her mother. Guo Caiting nodded slightly and she sat down.


    Qiao Liangjin caught the chicken leg in her bowl and said gently, "You are growing up and eating more. Those pedantic teachings won''t work here. Remember, you are also the young lady of this Qiao family. You are the master."


    Qiao Xinting was stunned as she stared blankly at Qiao Liangjin. She spoke with such seriousness that what she said was the truth. She did not take herself to be a daughter born out of a concubine.


    After Qiao Liangjin said this, he turned to Qiao Zheng and raised his chin as he asked, "Father, is what my daughter said correct?"


    Qiao Zheng slightly nodded his head. He had already seen Qiao Xinting''s flustered appearance and her cowardly expression. They did not belong to a young lady of the Prime Minister''s Estate. Even if he did not love Guo Caiting, his daughter was still his.


    Qiao Xinting lowered her head and desperately plucked at the rice grains in her mouth, but her tears fell heavily onto the bowl.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly hurt. He picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them in Qiao Xinting''s bowl. He said softly, "In the future, let me make you more delicious food. You''re too thin."


    Thinking of Guo Caiting, he raised his head to look at her, who was standing next to Qiao Zheng, preparing food for him. He smiled and said, "Aunt, it''s not like my dad doesn''t know how to eat. Just sit down.


    Guo Caiting paused her chopsticks, but Qiao Zheng did not lift his head. Instead, he pointed to a seat beside him, indicating that Guo Caiting should sit down.


    After Guo Caiting sat down, Qiao Liangjin happily clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Look, those noisy people are no longer around. It''s quite harmonious here, let''s have a good meal."


    A sumptuous dinner was eaten happily without the interference of a noisy person.


    It was only when Qiao Liangjin was patting his belly and burping in satisfaction that he saw the chicken soup placed in the middle of the table. He waved at the makeup on the table behind him, and the makeup came over and whispered a few words into her ear.


    Qiao Zheng had already eaten his fill. Thinking of how the madame was ill on the bed while he himself was sitting here quietly eating his fill, he felt a little ashamed.


    Qiao Liangjin then walked over to Qiao Zheng''s side and said with a smile, "Father, tonight Second Uncle will be very hungry and you will be full. Tonight, you will definitely take care of the Old Madam."


    Qiao Zheng thought about it and could not help but laugh. He lightly tapped Qiao Liangjin''s forehead with his knuckles and said: "You are always resourceful."


    Qiao Liangjin walked to the door and suddenly thought of Guo Caiting and Qiao Xinting. He waved his hand and said, "Xinting remembers to help your mother greet the madame tomorrow morning, I''ll go with you."

 C91 Backyard Strategy

    Arriving at the madame''s courtyard, Qiao Liangjin found the doctor standing outside the door in the corridor. He frowned and said, "What''s going on? How can the doctor be at the door?"


    The doctor could only shake his head with a depressed expression on his face. Finally, he clasped his hands together and said, "This old man is useless. I''ll have to invite the prime minister to treat you with something else."


    Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door, looked at the few people who were sitting inside and asked: "What happened? "Doctor Bai has always been taking care of Old Madam. Why is he standing outside the door today? How did you two entertain Doctor Bai?"


    Yun Chu was taking care of the madame, and upon hearing Qiao Liangjin''s question, he quickly replied, "Doctor Bai doesn''t know why the madame suddenly fainted, so ¡­" At this point, his eyes drifted over to Qiao Mao Shan who was sitting upright.


    At this point, Qiao Maoshan already had the appearance of a filial son, snorting: "Insolent doctor, I don''t know how you took the silver from our house, but you can''t even tell what the old lady''s illness is."


    Qiao Liangjin was delighted. Of course, they did not know that if there were any martial arts in this room, they would be able to tell that he had pointed at the old mistress'' acupoints. Unfortunately, this room was filled with scholars.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and pulled the doctor''s medicine box, and entered the room. Although the doctor was old, he still had a tough character, and refused to put down the medicine box. He kept repeating the words he had just said: "This old man is useless, please find someone else."


    Qiao Zheng glared at Qiao Maoshan and calmly said: "Doctor Bai, foolish brother has offended you. Please forgive him. Please let the madame have a look."


    The doctor was furious at first and was ready to leave when the first minister arrived. He did not expect Qiao Zheng''s tone to be so respectful as his anger vanished without a trace. Putting down the medicine box on his shoulder, he muttered: "Fine, on account of the first minister, this old man will see it again."


    Qiao Liangjin approached the madame with a smile. While everyone''s eyes were on the old doctor, she touched the acupoint and felt the body of the man beneath her quiver again.


    The old doctor sat down and started to check her pulse. He then took out a silver needle and pierced it into the old mistress'' acupoint. Not long later, he heard the old lady moaning.


    The doctor pulled out a needle and said, "The madame is too old. It is cold. Don''t go out and catch cold. Take care of her in this room."


    Qiao Liangjin asked softly, "Yunchu, Wen''er, did you all hear that?"


    Yun Chu quickly replied, "This servant understands."


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Wen''er and threatened her, "Wen''er, you have to make sure that no one is worried. If the madame falls again like this, I might cause you trouble."


    Her voice was soft and gentle, but it was like a sharp knife that stabbed into Wen''er''s heart.


    Qiao Liangjin was a smart person. During the days at the Prime Minister''s Estate, she had long figured out the thoughts of everyone else.


    After asking A''Bai to send the old doctor out, she turned and looked at Qiao Mao Shan. She smiled and said: "Second Uncle, why don''t you take care of the madame tonight? "My dad has been busy outside for the whole day, but you see, there''s nothing much to do other than playing. Now, I can use you."


    Qiao Zheng coughed twice when he heard Qiao Liangjin''s words. "Jin''er."


    Qiao Liangjin acted as if he did not know what was going on. He blinked his eyes and asked with a smile: "What''s wrong? Father? Did you catch a cold outside? Did you catch a cold? "Then go rest."


    He then called for Ah Kuan, "Send the old master back to rest."


    When Qiao Maoshan heard that Qiao Zheng was leaving to take care of the old granny lying on the bed, he thought to himself that it would be good if nothing happened to her. If she had gotten sick in the middle of the night and something happened to her, he would take responsibility.


    Qiao Liangjin knew what Qiao Maoshan was thinking and smiled, "Second Uncle, the madame is your own mother, and the one she loves the most is you."


    Lin Fangli also echoed, "Our family''s Mao Shan is still taking care of people. He can''t even take care of himself."


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze fell on Qiao Zhijun, who was rubbing his chattering stomach. He smiled and said, "Then how about you let second brother take care of him?"


    Qiao Zhijun was stunned. He didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to find him. He waved his hand and said, "I have no ability to take care of people. Forget it. When Old Madam wakes up, I can talk to her."


    Qiao Liangjin spread out his hands and looked at the people in the room. He smiled and said, "Look, no one wants to be here, right?"


    Qiao Zheng sighed and patted Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder, his voice tinged with fatigue. "Fine then, let me take care of the madame. You can all go rest."


    As if he had received a special pardon, he hurriedly stood up, holding Qiao Zhiyong in one hand and Lin Fangli in the other, as he walked towards the door, he said, "Then Big Brother, thank you for your trouble. We haven''t had any dinner, we''ll definitely come when Old Madam tomorrow wakes up."


    After a while, the family of three was no longer to be seen.


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and said, "The madame is fine. Eldest brother, you must work hard today and take care of her with father."


    Qiao Ruo Ying had always treated her little sister as a god. She nodded and focused on sitting by the bed, staring at the madame.


    Qiao Liangjin thought about it for a moment and decided to leave the makeup with the madame. After giving her orders, he returned to the Golden Flower Pavilion with Purple Smoke.


    Just as he walked into the Flowergold Pavilion, he saw a lady dressed in purple standing at the entrance. Qiao Liangjin''s brows were slightly knitted. Why did this Caihe come to his doorstep?


    When Caihe saw Qiao Liangjin from afar, she hurried over. Before she even reached him, she had already bowed and said, "Your servant greets Miss."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his hand, indicating for her to stand up and asked: "Why are you here? Isn''t it supposed to be in Eldest Young Master''s courtyard? "


    On the other hand, Caihe calmly replied, "I haven''t seen Eldest Young Master today. Presumably, he is waiting for me at the Golden Flower Pavilion."


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled. "Ha, alright. However, Eldest Young Master will be serving the Old Mistress today. You should go back and take a good rest. It will be hard on you when Eldest Young Master returns tomorrow."


    Caihe didn''t say anything else as she turned and left the Golden Flower Pavilion.


    Zi Yan looked at Caihe''s back and frowned. "Why do I feel like this Caihe is weird?"


    Qiao Liangjin let out a cold laugh. He did not make a sound as he entered the courtyard and heard Yu Cheng''s laughter.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head helplessly and sighed. This Yu Sheng did not care if there were people coveting him.


    The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Yu Sheng obediently sitting in front of his desk, holding a book and copying something. Spirit Swirl was beside him, watching him write with a flushed face.


    Qiao Liangjin untied his cloak, and the purple smoke behind him took the cloak and hung it on the side.


    Qiao Liangjin walked in front of the desk. Without even looking at what Yu Sheng was writing, she gently flipped through the books on the desk and said, "How rare. I heard your laughter at the door just now and the moment you entered, you started learning how to write. I really want to test you and see if you''ve learnt how to write."


    Yuesheng''s brush stopped somewhere and large drops of ink dripped onto the xuan paper. Gradually, they turned into a ball and covered the words.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows and looked at the piece of paper and laughed, "Yo, so you are drawing, or is it ink? But, what does a drop of ink mean?"


    The Spirit Swirling Swirl was amused by Qiao Liangjin''s words. It could not help but laugh out loud. However, it saw Yu Sheng looking at him with hidden bitterness, biting its lips as he held back his laughter.


    He pouted unhappily and said, "I have cultivated for eight hundred years and have never thought of writing. It''s truly been eight hundred years of bad luck that I managed to forge a blood contract with you. To think that you were able to force me to write."


    Qiao Liangjin walked around the desk to Yu Sheng''s side. Looking at his writing, he smiled faintly and said, "It''s said that demon spirits are heartless and hard to tame. What about you, Yu Sheng?"


    When Yu Sheng heard this, he fell silent for a moment before answering, "I''ll write."


    Qiao Liangjin yawned and went to the back of the screen. He took off his plump clothes, changed into a light undergarment and walked out.


    However, Yu Sheng took out a pen and paper and began writing on the paper seriously.


    Spirit Swirl walked to the side as well, taking out a piece of paper and writing along with Yu Sheng.


    Qiao Liangjin sat at the side, accompanying the two little imps in practicing calligraphy. Only when it was late at night did he let the two little imps go to sleep.


    She blew out the candle with a tired breath and lazily threw herself onto the bed. She then covered her belly with the blanket and yawned. After that, she turned around and fell asleep.


    When he woke up, Qiao Liangjin suddenly remembered that he said that he would accompany Guo Caiting and Qiao Xinting to pay respects to the madame. He hurriedly got up, stood at the door, and called for Ziyan to wash up.


    Zi Yan was carrying a basin of hot water as she walked over. She asked in bewilderment, "Miss, if the sky is bright, you''ll wake up."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and said, "Hurry up, is Xingran here?"


    Zi Yan looked towards the door and shook her head.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and went back to wash up. After he was done, he heard Ah Kuan knocking on the door and said: "Miss, Fifth Miss is already at the door."


    Qiao Liangjin put on his cloak and went out. The snow had stopped and the sun had come out, but the weather had turned even colder. Qiao Xinting stood at the door waiting for Qiao Liangjin with her face flushed red again.


    Qiao Liangjin walked to Qiao Xinting''s side and pulled her cloak tighter. He reproached: "Why don''t you go in and call me? Don''t wait for me at the door next time, where''s your mother?"


    Qiao Xinting pointed in the direction of the old lady''s courtyard and said, "My mother is already there."


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin pull Qiao Xinting towards the old mistress'' courtyard.


    Entering the house, Qiao Zheng and Qiao Ruoyin wore large, dark circles under their eyes. Their listless and listless appearance caused Qiao Liangjin''s heart to ache for them.


    She asked softly, "Has the madame woken up?"


    Qiao Zheng nodded his head and said: "I woke up but then I fell asleep again. He asked me where Mao Shan was and went back to sleep."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and walked over to the madame''s side. He gently shook the madame''s arm and called out softly, "Madame, please wake up."

 C92 People Gratitude

    A faint groan could be heard as the old lady slowly opened her eyes. The first person she saw was Qiao Liangjin. She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and helped the madame sit up. Yun Chu hurriedly placed a blanket behind the madame.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the person in the room and explained, "Last night, you, Madam, suffered from an emergency. The doctor said that because the weather outside is too cold, please stay in the room and don''t move. Last night, my father, my brother, and Third Madame took care of you. That Second Uncle of mine ¡­ "Hai."


    The madame''s face turned cold. Although she favored her youngest son, she knew what kind of person her youngest son was. As far as she could see, the room was filled with people she didn''t like. She helplessly closed her eyes and waved her old arm. She said, "You can all go back. It''s good that I have Yun Chu here to take care of you."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows, waved his hand at the crowd and said, "The madame needs some rest, let''s all go back to work. Father, I wonder what rewards you will get for your meritorious service this time?"


    The madame who had her eyes closed opened them as soon as she heard the reward and looked at Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng thought for a moment and said: "I do not know either. For this kind of matter, I only hope that His Majesty will not blame me. What other rewards can I ask for?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s face was filled with regret as he smiled and said, "Ah, madame, you heard it. Our family doesn''t seem to have any more rewards. You should just take a good rest."


    After saying that, he chased everyone out of the room and closed the door gently, leaving behind the two maids beside the madame.


    Qiao Zheng looked at the door with worry and asked, "Is the madame really fine?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly, rubbed his hands together and said, "It really is as cold as snow. Father, you and my brother should go take a rest before going out of the city to see the victims. I will go and take a look now to prevent anything from happening."


    Qiao Ruo Ying shook her head when she heard that Qiao Liangjin wanted to see the victims himself. She firmly rejected his request and said, "You can''t. Little sister, you are a girl. How can you go there? If you meet someone who harbors malicious intents, what should we do?"


    Qiao Xinting spoke softly in an attempt to stop her, "Big sister, it''s too dangerous ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin patiently waited for them to finish talking to stop her. Then he made a silent gesture and said, "Okay, you guys should go rest. I''m going out now, don''t say anything more."


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice was filled with determination. He was a rock that no one would be able to hit. This made her a little discouraged.


    Qiao Zheng stroked his chin that was covered in green stubble and looked at Qiao Liangjin''s resolute expression. He smiled. "Fine, Jin''er will take good care of herself. Go, Father believes in you."


    Qiao Ruo Ying was about to say something when Qiao Liangjin cut her off with a meaningful smile. "Big brother, Shengcheng ¡­"


    Qiao Ruo Ying''s pupils contracted. That''s right, how could he forget about Sheng Cheng? His sister had gone to the enemy camp alone and brought back the marshal''s head.


    Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiao Liangjin turned around and strode out of the room.


    She thought of what Ning Xi had said, that the Eastern Kingdom had sent assassins to kill Qiao Ruoying, and how much time had passed since then. She had been suspecting that the assassins from the Eastern Kingdom had already concealed themselves among the victims.


    She wanted to investigate personally, and not let any dangerous factors appear at the side of her family.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin''s figure appeared at the city gate, he heard someone shouting, "Miss Qiao, you''re here!"


    Before she could react, a large group of victims surrounded her carriage. She was curious, how did these victims know that this was her carriage?


    Pulling open the curtain, Qiao Liangjin got out of the carriage. He stood beside Bai, with his hands on his waist, and looked at the victims of the war.


    The victims actually maintained their silence, looking at Qiao Liangjin who was standing on the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin scratched his ears and suddenly didn''t know what to say. Greetings, it would be weird if they were better, would it be cold if he asked them? Isn''t this nonsense? Although there was a place that could block the wind and snow, looking at the clothes of these people was not enough to resist the cold. Then what should he say?


    After a moment of thought, she stretched out her arm and asked, "Do you all know me?"


    An old man''s voice could be heard, "The rumored courtesan from the capital, the young miss of the female pervert''s residence, Qiao Liangjin. Everyone knows her, everyone knows her."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face immediately fell. So it was because of this reputation. He had thought that it was because of the efforts of the victims that he had settled down yesterday.


    The old man''s voice gradually drew closer to Qiao Liangjin. The voice came from far away and he said, "Everyone says that Miss Qiao is a fool. She is incompetent and wastes the food and air of the capital."


    Qiao Liangjin''s forehead twitched. What was going on? What was the meaning of this old man saying that he was so terrible? They must be here to destroy everything.


    "However, I am here to represent all the victims of the disaster. I thank Miss Qiao for all that she has done for us." The voice suddenly changed, with a note of gratitude.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin see it clearly. A white-haired old man slowly walked through the crowd, leaning on a wooden cane.


    Qiao Liangjin sniffed, smiled and waved his hand, "I''m not that great, this is all thanks to my father and brother, I''m just here to watch the show."


    The old man answered stubbornly, "No, when the first minister came yesterday, he didn''t know that we had a house here to settle us down. He also didn''t know that food could be used to make hot porridge for us ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose, but didn''t reply. She admired this old man who had seen a lot. She could actually see through such trivial matters.


    With a "hong" sound, all the victims knelt down around the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin was shocked, he anxiously jumped down from the horse carriage and helped the old man up, then shouted to the victims kneeling in the snow: "You guys get up, I can''t take this anymore, I''m the fat and lustful Qiao Liangjin, I''m not someone you have to be grateful to."


    Qiao Liangjin helped up the old man and started to help everyone around. However, her eyes were very hot and something was quietly flowing down the corner of her eyes.


    Zi Yan Ran Lan followed Qiao Liangjin and helped him up one by one. When Qiao Liangjin noticed that the people she helped up were kneeling behind her, she panicked and stomped her feet. She shouted, "It''s so cold here, what do we do if you guys get sick? If you are truly willing to thank me, then live well and don''t get sick. When the weather is better, go back and live well. "


    Hearing her words, the elder''s body trembled. He raised his hand towards the crowd and said, "Everyone, get up. Don''t disappoint Miss Qiao''s intentions ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin looked back at the old man and everyone around him slowly stood up.


    At the side, Zi Yan approached Qiao Lianjin and said in a low voice, "Southwest direction, there are four people who haven''t kneeled yet ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his sleeve and lightly wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. He turned around and said in an extremely soft voice: "Take Ah Kuan and Ah Bai and catch them. Remember not to disturb anyone."


    Zi Yan nodded and left the crowd with Ah Kuan and Bai.


    All the victims surrounded Qiao Liangjin, chattering about the cold weather and thanking her for her foresight.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled as she listened to the chatter in the crowd. She knew that until today, she had finally done something that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Qingqing.


    Side by side with Su Su Qing? Qiao Liangjin was startled by his own thoughts. Why would he think this way? Why were they standing side by side with Su Moyu?


    Amidst the buzzing sounds next to her ears, Qiao Liangjin''s smile disappeared suddenly. He saw a bright ray of light shooting towards her throat, and her fingers caught that ray of light. A sharp sword was just two inches away from stabbing into her throat.


    Qiao Liangjin followed the direction of the sword and smiled, "You killed me in the middle of the crowd, what exactly do you think?"


    Following the sharp tip of the sword, he saw an extremely ordinary-looking man, his eyes filled with surprise, he obviously did not know that Qiao Liangjin knew martial arts, perhaps he thought that killing their idol in the midst of everyone''s worship, was something that would make everyone sad, and perhaps even make him famous.


    The people around him were all stunned, but soon they realized that this man was trying to kill Qiao Liangjin, and the entire crowd seemed to explode. Some threw shoes, some raised their fists, some kicked with their legs, and almost everyone around Qiao Liangjin used all their strength to beat up the assassin.


    Qiao Liangjin''s finger cleverly tapped the assassin''s shoulder, and he immediately hid to the side while screaming. He jumped and stomped while commanding: "This person wants to kill me, he''s so scary, so scary."


    Not far away, Su Qing, who was standing on top of the city wall and looking at her, suddenly shook her head and smiled.


    Was she afraid? He could clearly see that her face was filled with excitement. He was curious, why did this woman have so many reasons for him to get close to her?


    Qiao Liangjin used his sleeve to cover his mouth as he smiled at the assassin who had been beaten into a pile of mud. Only then did he dissuade the angry victims.


    She made her way through the crowd and tried to get close to the assassin. The victims by her side were a little worried and tried to dissuade her. "Miss Qiao, be careful ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and assured everyone. As she continued to move through the crowd, the victims all made way for her. She walked up to the assassin and slowly squatted down. She asked gently: "Are you an assassin from the Eastern Kingdom?"


    The assassin was already coughing out blood. He raised his bloodied face to look at Qiao Liangjin and suddenly laughed. The laughter became louder and louder until he started to cough. The blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the snow.


    Qiao Liangjin was not anxious at all. She quietly watched the assassin''s smile. There were many scenes playing out on TV where the assassin would usually kill himself with a bite of poison or confess. However, before all of this happened, the assassin would definitely laugh out loud.


    Qiao Liangjin was kind enough to pat his chest and help him calm down, so he asked: "How is it? Would it be more comfortable to laugh now? "


    The assassin did not expect Qiao Liangjin to do this. He was stunned for a moment and then stopped laughing. With much difficulty, he raised his arm, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked: "What do you want to know?"

 C93 Relaxation of Tiger to Mountain

    "You''re from the East?"


    "No."


    "Oh, then I know. What do I do next? " Qiao Liangjin held his chin and began to ponder.


    The victims on the side also helped to come up with an idea. "Tie them up and give them to the Prefecture Overseer of the capital. "That Prefecture Overseer Zheng won''t do anything, so he should at least know how to grab someone to ask, right?"


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and clapped his hands. He suddenly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you''ve already been beaten so badly, you should leave."


    As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding people were all stunned. Was this Miss Qiao really a Bodhisattva that had descended to the mortal world? This person wanted to kill her. How could she let him off so easily?


    The assassin seemed to be prepared to be beaten or even sent to the government, but unexpectedly, the fat woman waved her hand and let him go.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the bloody face of the assassin seriously and said: "Today, Japanese girl is very happy to let you go. Help me bring back a message, don''t think that I don''t know who she is. If you want to kill me, you should first consider whether you have the ability to do so or not."


    He then smiled meaningfully, "Remember, you must bring this back."


    The assassin slowly sat up and sat on the ground for a long time before slowly standing up. One of his arms was obviously broken off and he was slightly swaying, while the other hand was holding onto his chest.


    All the victims did not understand what Qiao Liangjin was doing. They could only watch as he left.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and held onto the old man''s arm, and slowly walked towards those wooden houses. As he walked, he warned, "It''s cold inside, this house is made of wood, so everyone must be careful when burning it. Don''t let anything go wrong."


    On the way back to the Residence of Prime Minister, Qiao Liangjin''s mood was exceptionally cheerful. He couldn''t help but hum a song as his palm gently caressed his knee. He used to play the fool, but now he suddenly changed his style.


    Qiao Liangjin was reminiscing about what had happened today in satisfaction when the carriage suddenly stopped. The curtain was opened as A''Bai said softly, "It was Young Master Xiao Rong who blocked the carriage."


    Xiao Rong? Qiao Liangjin''s recent life arrangements were so tense that he almost forgot this person.


    Opening the curtain, Qiao Liangjin revealed his face and greeted him in high spirits: "Hello, Young Master Xiao. How are you?"


    Xiao Rong lifted his bright smile and, imitating Qiao Liangjin''s actions, greeted him, "Hi, Miss Qiao, long time no see."


    Qiao Liangjin greeted him like he was doing business: "How''s Young Master Xiao''s business? Have there been any recent increases in passenger traffic? Didn''t do as I said? If there''s anything new, remember to let the customer try first. "


    Xiao Rong kept nodding and smiling.


    She gently rubbed her face and said: "Alright, Young Master Xiao, I''ve been a little busy these past few days, so I won''t be talking to you anymore. If there is anything you want to ask me, you can write to me and I will send a message to you."


    Xiao Rong''s face turned slightly red and he quickly moved out of the way. He cupped his hands and said, "I heard about what happened outside the city gates this morning. Miss Qiao is extremely loyal."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he couldn''t help praising her again. He then grinned and waved his hand nonstop. With a wink, he smiled and said: "Aiyo, why are you saying this? I''m really sorry."


    After he had finished speaking, he went into the carriage and rubbed his face. Sigh, it was better to avoid this sort of social interaction. The two of them had nothing to say, so other than laughing, what else could they do?


    The carriage continued on until it reached the door of the Prime Minister''s Residence. Qiao Liangjin jumped off the carriage and a small figure jumped into her arms.


    Qiao Liangjin was so scared that he retreated a little. After looking at the person in his arms carefully, he laughed: "I told you I didn''t see you these past few days, where did you go? Did you go to the monastery with your mother? "


    The little person in his arms raised his head and said angrily, "That''s right! Although my sister made a mistake and my mother made a mistake, my mother insisted on taking me away. I''ve missed you to death, big sister."


    Qiao Liangjin pinched the small face of Qiao Siyuan who was in his arms and smiled. "Okay okay, I''m back now. Your mother and your two elder sisters are back, right? Didn''t they say they were going to pray in the monastery for ten days? These days, there''s no meat to eat. You must have a bland mouth."


    Qiao Yifan nodded repeatedly. Holding Qiao Liangjin''s hand, he strode into the mansion.


    As soon as they entered the mansion, her heart brought along Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er as they stood in a row. Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er''s gazes were like knives, fiercely glaring at Qiao Liangxin. Only her heart still had a faint smile as they greeted, "Jin''er, you''re back?"


    Qiao Liangjin also said with a faint smile, "It has been a while since we last met, First Madam has indeed lost a lot of weight."


    "I should pray for the madame and the Prime Minister''s Mansion. I have seen so many victims of the disaster when I entered the city today, and I have also heard what Jin''er did for the victims. Jin''er has truly grown up." Her chastity was like a drop of water that was flattering him.


    Josephine pulled Qiao Liangjin towards the direction of the Flower Glow Pavilion. It was obvious that she didn''t take her mother and elder sister seriously. She waved her hands as she walked. "Mother, elder sisters, I''m going back with elder sister to eat something delicious."


    Qiao Ya bitterly whispered behind him: "What''s so good about that Qiao Liangjin? It''s because little brother likes to get close to her."


    Qiao Yue-er tugged Qiao Ya''s sleeve and said, "Elder sister, half your body is becoming more and more inconvenient. You still have to beg her not to offend her."


    Joan of Arc turned around and cast a cold glance at Qiao Ya, her gentle expression completely gone.


    Qiao Ya suddenly shrunk her neck and lowered her head, not daring to speak.


    "Ya Er, Yue Er, you must know that as long as they are here, you will never be valued. However, she is in her best mood right now, so you must avoid the limelight. Mother has taught you so many times, how can you not remember?"


    She said softly, "Ya Er, mother has no other choice with the poison in your body. If mother has a way, I definitely won''t let you go. Since you''re no longer able to move freely, you should go to the Flower Pavilion. You''re so smart, what should be said, what should be said, and why shouldn''t I teach you?"


    Yue Er hurriedly said, "I want to go too."


    "This won''t do. Every time you fail at something, you will bring the young miss back. Teach the young lady how to embroider."


    At this moment, Ruo Shui hurriedly supported Qiao Ya and said to Chong Yuxin, "This servant will now help Miss to go to the Golden Flower Pavilion."


    Qiao Ya gazed at the Flower Lover Pavilion unwillingly. However, there was nothing she could do. If this were to continue, she was truly afraid that she would be paralyzed on the bed forever.


    After arriving at the Flowergold Pavilion, Ruoshui knocked on the door lightly. Bai''s voice came from inside the door, "Who is it?"


    Ruoshui gently replied, "Yes, it''s the third lady. She wants you."


    After a moment of silence, someone opened the door.


    Ruo Shui supported Qiao Ya, who was having a difficult time walking, into the Flower Lover Pavilion.


    Arriving at Qiao Liangjin''s room, he saw that Qiao Liangjin had filled the table with delicacies and was cooking for Joshua.


    Qiao Ya stood awkwardly at the door, not knowing what to say. After all, she had always treated Qiao Liangjin maliciously.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t even turn around to look at her. He gave her some food and grumbled about how much she should eat and grow taller.


    "Third sister, come and try it. It''s really delicious." "Third sister!" "Third sister!" "Third sister!" "Third sister!"


    Qiao Ya''s face sank and she did not respond.


    Qiao Siyuan''s chopsticks stopped in mid-air. He smiled at Qiao Liangjin in embarrassment and touched his earlobe with his other hand.


    Qiao Liangjin still didn''t give her a glance. He sat down on the chair beside Qiao Si Yuan and said, "Si Yuan, do you know what is the most precious thing about a person? "It''s just that they can bend and stretch."


    The moment the words left her mouth, Qiao Ya fell heavily to her knees. Even Ruo Shui, who was supporting her, fell to the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to be frightened and asked in surprise as if he had just seen Qiao Ya. "Ya Er, why are you here? What do you mean? "


    The little fox Yu Sheng, who was squatting by the side, chewing on a chicken leg, kept rolling his eyes. This woman was still pretending even at this time. How long had she been here for? How could she not know?


    Before she could finish her sentence, Qiao Ya''s tears fell. Looking at the teary Pear Blossom made her heart ache. Qiao Siyuan put down his chopsticks and hurried over, wanting to support her.


    Qiao Ya stubbornly refused to get up and cried out to Qiao Liangjin. "Big Sis, Ya''er knows her wrongs. In the future, Ya''er will not dare to act rashly. Please be magnanimous, Big Sis."


    Qiao Yifan frowned. He didn''t understand why Qiao Ya would ask Qiao Liangjin to forgive him. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting at the side of the table, slowly wiping his hands.


    Qiao Liangjin wiped his hands slowly, turned around and sat down. He looked at Qiao Ya who was kneeling on the ground and laughed: "Ya Er, look at you, what are you doing? What else do we need to apologize for between us sisters? "Hurry and get up."


    After saying that, he beckoned for Muse to bring a cup of tea to him and passed it to Qiao Ya.


    Pai Di gave the tea to Qiao Ya and said softly, "Third Miss should drink this tea. Remember to come back at the full moon next month."


    Qiao Ya originally thought that this woman was very hypocritical. What tea was she offering? She didn''t expect that the antidote would be this tea. She picked up the bowl and gulped the tea down, afraid that if she was a little slower, the tea would be taken away.


    Qiao Liangjin had been waiting for Qiao Ya to finish drinking her tea. He nodded in satisfaction and pointed towards the chair beside him. "Come sit beside me. We haven''t had a chat for a long time."

 C94 Late Night Conversation

    The little fox was stunned for a moment as it was gnawing on a chicken leg. Qiao Liangjin was pointing at the stool that he was squatting on. What did he mean by letting the other party sit on the stool that he was squatting on?


    The little fox fiercely threatened Qiao Ya with the chicken leg in its mouth.


    Qiao Ya was about to sit down after being helped up by Shui Ruo, but when she saw Silver Fox fiercely shouting at her, she frowned and shook her head. "Many thanks, sister. I still need to go back to my book to stop bothering you."


    Qiao Liangjin originally wanted Qiao Ya to sit on the oily chair, but that Silver Fox didn''t have any discernment. It had no intention of giving up its seat, and could only give up.


    After Qiao Ya was helped out of the pavilion by Ruoshui, she stopped and turned her body to look at the door of the pavilion. She spat viciously and twisted her body to leave.


    Qiao Siyuan sat beside Qiao Liangjin with a puzzled expression. The delicacies on the table no longer attracted him.


    Qiao Liangjin took off the shell of the prawn in his hand and placed it on Jose Yuan''s plate. "What happened?" he asked with a smile. "He ate too fast. Is he full?"


    "Big Sis, tell me, why do you think our house is so strange?"


    "Why is it strange?"


    "Everyone seems kind, but everyone doesn''t seem kind." Jose replied, tapping his chopsticks on the side of the bowl.


    Qiao Liangjin held down Qiao Siyuan''s chopsticks and smiled. "Don''t knock. Father and Mother will quarrel this way. "You''re still young, right now your job is to study well, write well, read well, learn more useful things. Don''t even think about the schemes and scheming within our house. Men are determined to stay in the four directions."


    A light shone in Josephine''s eyes. She stood up and patted herself on the chest. "Am I considered a man even at my age?"


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed as he nodded his head.


    As the sky gradually grew dark, Qiao Liangjin sent Joshua back to her, and sent her away to Tranquil Heart Garden with the lantern in her hand.


    Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Calm Heart Garden, the servant girl, Ah Qing, who was standing beside Qiao Xinting, opened the door and joyfully said: "Just now, the Madam said that the Miss would come, but this servant doesn''t believe it."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and entered the Tranquil Heart Garden in a flash.


    There were already lanterns burning in the Tranquil Heart Garden, and a kitchen appeared nearby as well. As expected, the moment the prime minister made his move, it was obvious if there wasn''t.


    A Qing opened the door to Guo Caiting''s room, smiling brightly as she said, "Madam is indeed blessed with a brilliant plan, the young miss is here."


    Guo Caijing was sitting under the candlelight, holding her chin with one hand. Seeing Qiao Liangjin come in, she told An Qing to bring Qiao Xinting back to rest.


    Qiao Liangyin closed the door and walked over to Guo Caiting''s side. He sat down and said with a smile, "Third Aunt, why are you so sure that I''ll come?"


    "When chastity returns, she definitely won''t let me continue with the housekeeper. The eldest young miss naturally wouldn''t let her continue with the housekeeper, so I guessed that the eldest young miss would definitely come."


    Qiao Liangjin''s fingers gently looked at the table. Just like Guo Caiting, he used one hand to support his chin as he asked, "Third Madame, do you have any plans?"


    Guo Caiting forced a smile, shook her head and said, "This kind of scheming, I really can''t come up with anything."


    Qiao Liangjin gazed deeply at Guo Caijing. She had rushed back from the mountains just to be willing to be her sabre and help her in the Prime Minister''s Estate. This sabre didn''t need to know much; it only needed to do what she wanted her to do.


    "I''m afraid that the madame won''t be able to go out this winter. Chong Yuanyuan thought that it would be useless to try and find a trick, Third Aunt, as long as Father doesn''t give in, you can continue to be the housekeeper. For Zhen Yuxin''s house, you can just give her as much as any other yard, no need for special treatment."


    "Yes, Miss."


    "Qiao Xinting will go to the study tomorrow to study with Siyuan." Qiao Liangjin suddenly raised an opinion.


    This sentence greatly shocked Guo Caiting, and she quickly waved her hand, "No, you can''t do that. Xin Ting is a Shu Family''s daughter, she only needs to know a few simple words. She doesn''t need to read too much."


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and said without a doubt, "It''s decided. Tomorrow, we''ll go study with Siyuan. Third Madame, hurry up and take care of your body. You must support this Prime Minister."


    Guo Caiting was silent. She propped herself up from the table and firmly nodded her head.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin turn around and leave the Tranquil Heart Garden in satisfaction.


    Walking in the frigid night, Zi Yan asked in confusion, "Miss, why ¡­"


    "I don''t trust her." Qiao Liangjin only said a few words before he hurriedly walked towards the Golden Flower Pavilion.


    As she entered the room, a red figure was waiting for her.


    Just as Zi Yan followed Qiao Liangjin into the house, she looked at that figure carefully. She pursed her lips into a smile as she turned around and left, closing the door tightly behind her.


    Qiao Liangjin''s breathing became sluggish as he asked, "Why is it you?"


    That red figure lazily leaned on the beauty seat, holding a book in her hands. It seemed as though she had been waiting for a long time.


    "Why can''t it be me? The news of what happened outside the city gates today has spread throughout the entire capital. " The voice of the silhouette was pleasant to the ears, giving Qiao Liangjin, who was originally covered in a layer of chilliness, a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.


    "Is that going to be a good thing or a bad thing?" Qiao Liangjin asked with a smile.


    "Under the suspicion of some people, this is a bad thing because there is actually someone who is better than Qiao Zheng in raising their voice, but ¡­" That red clothed person suddenly flashed and approached Qiao Liangjin. He lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin''s red cheeks that had turned red from the cold.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes sparkled as he asked, "But what?"


    "But I think you''re becoming more and more suited to be my consort." The red clothed man laughed.


    He took off his cloak and casually threw it on the screen. He poured a cup of tea and finished it in a few gulps and then placed it on the table. He suddenly remembered that he did not seem to ask Qing Shui if he wanted to drink tea, so he raised his empty teacup and asked: "Do you want to drink tea?"


    Qing Shui was not surprised by Qiao Liangjin''s reaction. He turned around and sat down at the table. Smiling, he said, "Sure."


    Qiao Liangjin continued to roll his eyes as he poured some tea and placed it in front of Qing Shui.


    "His Majesty already knows that it was your idea to pacify the victims. He might issue an order." He then recounted what happened today at the palace to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin was silent. Originally, she wanted to solve the problem for her father, but unexpectedly, she placed this credit on herself.


    Her goal and dream was to be a popinjay, no matter how vulgar and how proud she was of herself.


    Su Yun looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked: "What''s wrong? It seems that you do not like His Majesty''s reward. If I were to tell you that you would be conferred the title of ''Princess Ruyi'', that you would be a true princess of the second rank, and that you would be ranked higher than Princess Linglong, would you be happy? "


    Qiao Liangjin was initially a little disappointed, but after hearing this news, his eyes instantly lit up as he asked in surprise: "Really?"


    Su Qing smiled faintly. "When have I ever lied to you?"


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled and felt like he was turning the situation around. He happily said, "That''s fine, the next time I see her, I can ask her to salute me. No matter what, I am of the True Second Pin, and she is of the True Third Pin."


    Su Qing nodded.


    "Then if she offends me, can I beat her up?"


    Su Qing nodded.


    Qiao Liangjin''s mouth twitched. She didn''t believe it. If he really went to beat her up, the Emperor wouldn''t be happy at first.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly had the thought of gossiping and continued to ask: "Why don''t you like Yu Linglong? Didn''t they say that men loved white lotuses the most? A lovable, sickly, and heartwarming Xi Shi will cause a man to feel tender towards the fairer sex, and subsequently give birth to the thought of caring for another person. "


    He wanted to hear what Qiao Liangjin had to say.


    Qiao Liangjin patted his arm, then patted his leg and sighed: "Someone like me, if you scold me, then I will definitely beat you back. No man likes me, I think those who like me will regret being blind."


    "¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin looked up at Su Qing Qing and smiled: "How is it? "What''s your mentality at the moment?"


    "Appreciate it." Clear seems to cherish today''s words.


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth twitched. It seemed that there really was someone who wasn''t afraid of death.


    Su Li suddenly asked, "That assassin today, do you know who he belongs to?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded.


    Su Qing gently wrote two words on the table. She raised her eyes and asked, "Is it her?"


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the tea stains on the table. She was really happy that the person in front of her was not a fool who only had appearance and no brain.


    She sighed and said, "I''m really looking for trouble."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I said Seventh Prince, isn''t it all because of you? Do you know what a beauty''s disaster is? "It''s just like you. If you looked crooked, you wouldn''t have ended up like this."


    He realized that ever since he met Qiao Liangjin, his originally cold and aloof nature had become increasingly unbearable. He was always teased by her from time to time. He shook his head and laughed, "If I really look like that, Miss Qiao, would you take another look at me?"


    Qiao Liangjin thought about it for a moment and then shook his head with certainty. No, she was born to admire beautiful men, she would be satisfied as long as she looked at them. If there was someone with yellow teeth and a flat nose chatting with her at this moment, she would feel a bit uncomfortable just thinking about it.


    She suddenly pulled Qiao Liangjin''s arm and pulled open her sleeve. That red Devil''s Snare flower still bloomed on her white arm.


    After clearing up, he slowly pulled down his sleeves, while his face was filled with a smile of satisfaction.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the smile on his face and thought to himself, "Why do I have the urge to bash him in?" Even though he knew that his martial arts were far inferior to his own.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled back his arm and gently touched the Mandala through his sleeve. He frowned and asked: "Is this thing really going to stay on my arm forever?"


    Su Qing nodded.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it. A gust of cold wind blew into the room, and she made a gesture to invite him in, saying: "It''s already very late, I presume that the Seventh Prince still has matters to attend to tomorrow. Why don''t you go back earlier?" Besides the Eastern Kingdom sending troops to the Southern Kingdom, they have also sent a lot of assassins to the Royal City.

 C95 Jarring Heart

    Su''Er stood up and walked in front of Qiao Liangjin. She looked down at Qiao Liangjin''s hair and suddenly, she was pulled into her embrace.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt that he was lost. His chest wasn''t that sissy, so leaning on it like that was quite comfortable. The sound of his heart beating was really powerful, and as the cold wind blew into the room, his chest seemed to be able to withstand the cold winter.


    No wonder so many girls in this world were willing to fall in love with a man''s embrace. Even though she was as strong as iron, she could still feel the sense of security within a man''s chest, making her feel like she was willing to be protected.


    Su Qing sighed and held her tighter.


    "Seventh Marquis ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin finally recovered his consciousness and raised his head to look at his clean face. At this distance, his face did not show any pores, and it was so exquisite that there was not even the slightest blemish. His lowered eyelashes had a faint shadow cast on them. He then gently pushed his chest out of the way.


    She looked at the woman in her arms and let go. The moment he let go, Qiao Liangjin had a strange feeling, as if he would let go of her for the rest of his life. He felt slightly disappointed.


    "Have a good rest." He left a message and left after closing the door.


    Only Qiao Liangjin was left behind. He stood on the spot as if he was reminiscing about that hug.


    How strange! Why does this guy like to take advantage of me at all times? Qiao Liangjin screamed in his heart.


    Qiao Liangjin gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Next time, if you dare hug me again, I''ll definitely kick you."


    While cursing and swearing, Qiao Liangjin climbed onto the bed, crossed his legs, and began to get lucky.


    However, her mind was too messy, and she was unable to calm down. Her clean red clothes, high nose, and beautiful lips were all swaying in front of her eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin simply laid down on the bed. Forget it, he wasn''t going to continue practicing inner force. He didn''t want to go berserk because of that.


    On the second day, Qiao Liangjin wrote on his desk: Cleansing is equivalent to bewitching women.


    This caused the maidservants to secretly laugh when they saw the row of words.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the row of words and felt that it was too flamboyant. Just as he was about to tear the paper apart, Yu Sheng grabbed it and asked, "What''s written on it? I knew Redwater. Master, who is Redwater? "


    Qiao Liangjin threw a cold glance at Yusheng and said with a cold smile, "Didn''t you say you didn''t learn how to write?"


    Yu Sheng blinked his beautiful phoenix eyes and explained pitifully, "Mistress, when have I ever said such words? I said that I must work hard and study hard. Upwards Ho! will do."


    When Qiao Liangjin saw Yu Sheng''s appearance, he immediately felt depressed again. Just who did this Yu Sheng look like? Yet, it was as clear as water as it swayed in front of his eyes.


    She waved her hand as she put on her cloak and walked out of the room. She had to stay calm in the cold wind and not be distracted by that beautiful man.


    Walking to the Plum Forest in the backyard, Qiao Liangjin let out a long sigh and kicked a thick plum blossom. A snowflake fell on her body and she quickly dodged it, shaking off the snowflakes on her body.


    Suddenly, he caught sight of a familiar figure walking towards the back door.


    That figure walked out from the back and headed straight for the alley where Qiao Liangjin met with trouble twice. Qiao Liangjin flew onto the roof and followed behind that person as light as a feather.


    The figure seemed to be waiting for someone as it paced back and forth. When it saw a person wearing a black cloak approaching, it hurriedly went forward to greet him.


    Qiao Liangjin squatted on the rooftop and stared at the two men. He didn''t know what they were talking about, but the man in the black cloak handed a small bag to the figure from the Prime Minister''s mansion, then turned around and left in a hurry.


    The figure held the small bag and seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, it seemed to have made a decision, throwing the small bag away, then turning around and heading back to the Prime Minister''s Mansion.


    Qiao Liangjin jumped off the roof and picked up the small bag. Opening it, he saw some white powder. She used her fingers to grind it, shaking off the powder, and then followed the figure towards the door.


    Seeing that figure about to enter, Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said: "Caihe?"


    Just as he was about to push open the door and enter the house, he suddenly stopped and slowly turned around. Cai He looked at Qiao Liangjin with a stiff smile on her face.


    Qiao Liangjin lifted his skirt and quickly walked up the steps. He rubbed his arm as he looked at Caihe and asked, "Are you going out to buy something?"


    Caihe nodded awkwardly.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at her hand as if he was innocent but at least he knew that going out to buy something meant that she had to carry it back. He asked, "Then why did you come back empty-handed?"


    Caihe''s expression was somewhat flustered as she replied, "Oh, I got the shop owner to deliver it to the Prime Minister''s Mansion tomorrow morning. There''s no more tofu today."


    Qiao Liangjin did not expose her as he brushed past her and pushed open the door. He then turned his head to look at Caihe who was still standing at the door and said, "That''s good, tomorrow I want to go to your courtyard and taste your culinary arts as well."


    Caihe''s expression stiffened again, but he nodded in agreement. "Okay, then Caihe will cook a bit more tomorrow."


    After parting ways with Caihe at the back door, Qiao Liangjin went back to the Plum Blossom Forest along the garden path. He broke off a plum blossom and slowly walked towards the Golden Flower Pavilion.


    The moment they entered the restaurant, Pai Dai came to welcome them with a smile.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose and asked: "What good news?"


    "The old master came a while ago and said that the emperor gave an edict to give you, young miss, to bestow a ruyi princess." Grade Two! The imperial edict may soon arrive. " Dai Di said with a smile.


    Qiao Liangjin deliberately coughed twice. He stroked his smooth chin and pretended to be serious as he knocked on her head and said: "We will carry this kind of thing. Do you know what it means to carry it?"


    Dai Di shook her head naturally and looked at Qiao Liangjin with an inquisitive look.


    Looking at the look on her face, Qiao Liangjin could not hold it in anymore. He laughed out loud, "I am just pretending. In fact, I want to tell the world that I am already a princess. Look, look, I am so awesome."


    Pang Dai pursed her lips, tried her best to stop her smiling expression, and solemnly nodded, "Yes, master. Your servant has learnt it." We will all carry it. If today''s imperial edict is here, we will all carry it. "


    Qiao Liangjin patted her shoulder in satisfaction and strolled into the room.


    When she reached the desk, she found that the piece of paper she had written last night was no longer there. She searched the table for a long time, but still could not find it. She straightened up, thought for a moment, then walked to the door, opened it, and shouted towards the rockery: "Did you take what I wrote?"


    The rock garden was completely silent. After a while, a white pigeon flew out of the rock garden. It flew in a circle in front of Qiao Liangjin''s eyes before finally flying out of the wall.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. However, he felt that it wasn''t right to not say any harsh words. "Next time, if you steal my things and give them to someone else, I might burn all the pigeons in your house red!"


    When he had just returned to the Seventh Marquis Mansion and received the big envelope, he was still puzzled. The moment he opened the envelope and saw the words inside, his eyebrows instantly relaxed, his lips curled up, and he raised his head. The cold wind outside was still cold, but the sun was shining brightly.


    He thought of that fierce hug last night, thought of the crabapple fragrance on Qiao Liangjin''s hair that seemed to still linger on his nose. He smiled slightly and secretly decided that when he went next time, he would definitely steal some incense again.


    Under Hong Liang''s service, she changed into a court uniform, changed into a mysterious, embroidered robe, and tied a white jade belt. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were full of smiles as she organized the items in her hands.


    Hong Liang looked at the women''s accessories and carefully asked, "Your highness ¡­" "These things ¡­"


    Su Ling raised her head and indifferently looked at Hong Liang.


    Hong Liang covered his mouth in panic and quietly left the room. He knew that he had once again violated the King''s bottom line.


    Su Ming shook his head slightly. He really didn''t like people talking too much to him. They would ask him everything they shouldn''t have asked. He had always thought that Hong Liang was very sensible, but now ¡­ It was time to change people.


    Just as he was about to go out to visit Qiao Liangjin, he was stopped by the butler at the study door. He knew that the butler would not come to him unless it was something important, so he asked, "What is it?"


    "The third prince of the Southern Kingdom has come to the capital to borrow troops." The butler answered concisely.


    "What does Your Majesty mean?"


    "Eunuch Huaixin has been waiting outside for a long time. Please enter the palace." As the butler spoke, he stepped aside and draped the black fur robe over his shoulders.


    After clearing the door, Eunuch Huaixin quietly waited at the door. When he saw Su Qingqing, he bowed and said, "Eunuch is being too courteous. Attack quickly. I will return before the Imperial Palace rules."


    Su Ling had been with the emperor for many years, and she was well aware of his temperament. She hurriedly called for her guards and the group headed towards the palace with Su Ling.


    Qiao Liangjin was on the street buying melon seeds with Ruo Lan. When she saw the yellow flag coming from afar, she quickly pulled Ruo Lan and hid in the alley next door. Looking at the people on the street kneeling down, she pouted her mouth and said, "I knew you would kneel down at this kind of time. I wouldn''t kneel down in this cold weather."


    As if he had smelled something, Su Chen opened the curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, that fat figure was hiding in an alleyway. He smiled lightly. His her was always so unique.


    Qiao Liangjin held the melon seeds in one hand and the candied fruits in the other. He grinned and inadvertently looked at the luxurious carriage. With one glance, she saw a pair of eyes that had appeared countless times in her dreams. Those eyes were full of smiles.


    Qiao Liangjin was slightly startled. He could not help but reveal a smile.

 C96 Deny Escort

    As soon as he entered the Imperial Palace, he followed Huaixin to the Imperial Study. Before he even entered the door, he heard a bell sound coming from behind the door. He frowned slightly as he was noticed by Huaixin. Huaixin said softly, "The third prince brought Princess Nangong here to seek help."


    Su Shun seemed to have sensed that Su Chen had cleared up the room. He called out to him, "Quick, invite the Seventh Prince in."


    Huaixin pushed the door open and stepped through the threshold. In the middle of the imperial study sat the current emperor, and on his right was the Third Prince of the Southern Kingdom. He wore a purple robe, and had a kind expression on his face. The third prince was seated next to the princess, the princess Nangong whose entire body was tinkling loudly.


    When Nan Gong saw him come in, he hurriedly pulled the Third Prince Nan Mo''s sleeves and shook it, raising his chin, indicating for him to take a look at clearing up.


    The Southern Sudan sized up the entire situation from top to bottom before standing up and cupping his hands in salute, "Southern Sudan greets the Seventh Prince."


    Su Qing also cupped his hands and replied, "Third Prince is being too courteous."


    Nan Gong jumped up as if he was familiar with something and walked towards Su Qing. He put his hands behind his back and asked while smiling: "Look, am I very compatible with the Seventh Marquis?"


    Su Shun did not expect Nangong to be so direct. He coughed lightly and smiled, "Princess Nangong is truly lively and naive."


    As if avoiding her, he walked to the chair opposite the Southern Sudan and sat down.


    The Southern Sudan seemed to be accustomed to its sister''s boldness. It laughed out loud and patted the seat beside it. "Nangong, come and sit down. Don''t scare the Seventh Prince."


    Nangong pursed his lips and unwillingly sat by the Southern Sudan''s side. However, he continued to look at her clean face.


    As if he could not see Nangong, he went straight to the point, "Are you here to borrow troops, Third Prince?"


    The Southern Sudan nodded and said somewhat helplessly, "The Southern Kingdom''s military is not strong. This time, the Eastern Kingdom is coming in full fury. Even if the entire country were to resist, it would only extend the time the Southern Kingdom perishes."


    Su Su Qing then looked up at Su Shun and asked, "Then, what is His Majesty''s opinion?"


    "The Eastern Kingdom is too domineering. They originally wanted to send troops to Xuanyuan Kingdom, but they changed their route and went to the Southern Kingdom."


    The Southern Sudan humphed and said, "It''s still not Nan Li. I don''t know what he''s under ¡­"


    Suddenly, he remembered that he had come to ask for help, and since Nanli seemed to have something to do with the Prime Minister''s Estate, he stopped talking.


    Naturally, he knew the cause and effect. He laughed out loud and said, "Alright, since the warriors of Xuanyuan Kingdom killed the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Kingdom and caused this incident, I will definitely lend this soldier to the Southern Kingdom."


    Su Moyu stood up and said, "Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, there''s nothing to clear. How do you plan to send out the troops? Who will lead the troops? Tell Your Majesty to clean them up then. Clear them up and take your leave."


    Seeing that Su Qian was about to leave after sitting for a while, and she had not seen enough of him, Nan Gong Yi stood up too. He wanted to grab her sleeves, but Nan Gong ended up like a fish, he slipped past Nan Gong''s hands and headed towards the door.


    When the Southern Sudan saw Su Chen''s actions, he was slightly unhappy. Even though he was under a roof right now and had to lower his head, his actions were still a bit infuriating.


    The Southern Sudan stood up and walked over to Su Qing in a few steps. He crossed one of his arms and said, "Seventh Prince, this is the first time us siblings have come to the Royal City. How about you bring us siblings to see this magnificent city?"


    Nangong was about to cry. When he saw the Southern Sudan blocking their way, he pursed his lips and smiled. With his back facing the Emperor, he gave a thumbs up to the Southern Sudan.


    Su Qingqing lowered his head to look at the Southern Sudan''s arms. He was curious, why was everyone from the Southern Kingdom so arrogant?


    When Su Shun heard the Southern Sudan''s words, he agreed, "That''s true. Su Qingqing, bring these siblings to have a look at our Wang Cheng''s prosperity."


    He then turned around and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This humble servant is going to prepare the army for the Southern Kingdom. I don''t think the Third Marquis wants to drag this on for too long, am I?"


    The reason for this rejection was perfect without the slightest flaw. The Southern Sudan blinked his eyes, but was unable to refute him. He helplessly gave up his seat, cupped his hands, and said, "Then I''ll be troubling Seventh Prince."


    Ye Zichen cleared the door and took a deep breath. What an unpleasant brother and sister.


    He walked down the steps and prepared to walk out of the palace. A thick fragrance drifted over and he saw Yu Linglong walking over.


    Su Hao did not have any intention of dodging, and walked straight towards Yu Linglong.


    Originally, according to his and Nangong''s plans, he had planned to clear the entire Royal City with her to accompany her and the two brothers and sisters, but unexpectedly, he was a step too late. From the looks of it, clearing up did not allow him to do so.


    Qing walked towards Yu Ling and stopped her steps. Looking at Yu Ling who was giving off a strong fragrance, she slightly frowned and took a few steps back.


    Yu Linglong was a woman with an exquisite heart, how could she not see through the slight disgust. She opened her cloak and sniffed around, then explained: "I never thought that the osmanthus flower fragrance would be so domineering, next time I will change to a refreshing smell."


    Su Qingqing nodded and looked at the imperial study behind her. She then cupped her hands and said, "Then I''ll have to trouble you two, Princess."


    It might be the first time that Yu Linglong had heard Su Qingqing be so polite, but she was actually a little happy. She quickly waved her hand, pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Seventh Prince is too polite. If you have anything to say, go ahead and do it. "


    Su Qing straightened her body and smiled slightly. Then, she brushed past Yu Linglong''s side and got on the carriage. She threw out her black fur robe and spoke coldly to Hong Liang who was outside the carriage, "Burn it."


    The Southern Sudan froze in place the moment they raised their eyes. It was as if they had never thought that Yu Linglong would be such a gentle and unique woman. With just a glance, he wanted to take her life into his life.


    Yu Linglong smiled at the Southern Sudan and Nangong, then bowed to Su Shunfu, and then to the two distinguished guests of the Southern Kingdom.


    Nan Gong also returned the gesture and saw his third brother staring blankly at Yu Ling. He was ecstatic; if his own brother could marry Yu Ling away, wouldn''t it be his own?


    Gently pulling on the Southern Sudan''s sleeve, he said softly, "Third brother, this is the most gentle and pleasant princess I''ve ever told you about, Yu Ling''er. She was the one who took care of me when I was in the capital. "


    Only then did the Southern Sudan recover and hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Princess Linglong. Many thanks for the princess'' care for royal sister."


    Yu Linglong hurriedly returned the gesture, "Third Marquis, you are too polite. This is something that this princess should do. After all, Nangong and I are on good terms."


    Su Ling stood up and went around the books to the three people''s side. She smiled and said, "This is great. We are still thinking about who will bring you two along. Princess Linglong is noble and elegant, well versed in books. With her by your side, this capital will definitely be much more beautiful."


    Yu Ling''s face reddened, and she quickly replied: "It is also Linglong''s fortune to be able to help Her Majesty solve the problem."


    In an instant, admiration filled the eyes of the Southern Sudan. This Yu Linglong was very perceptive; she was a leading lady.


    How could Yu Linglong not think of what the Southern Sudan was thinking at the moment? She only thought that she could have one more person to help her, so why wouldn''t she do it?


    The three of them, each with their own ulterior motives, decided to travel to King''s City on the second day before leaving the Imperial Palace.


    Nangong followed the Southern Sudan back to the relay station. When they arrived at the relay station, he hung himself on the Southern Sudan''s arm like a spoiled child and said, "Third brother, don''t you think that Yu Linglong is doing very well?"


    The Southern Sudan smiled and nodded as he thought of the woman with the docile eyes.


    Nangong laughed, "Then what do you think if we marry her back to our Southern Kingdom?"


    The Southern Sudan was startled, but then immediately smiled: "It shouldn''t be that easy."


    Nan Gong pouted and thought to himself: "Even if it isn''t easy, I must succeed. Only by doing so can I completely clean myself."


    Suddenly thinking of Su Qing, Nan Gong continued to ask, "Was the Seventh Prince like a jade tree in the wind today? Third Brother, can you ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage the next time we meet? If I were to be married off, wouldn''t our Southern Kingdom be much more stable? "


    The Southern Sudan thought about his cold demeanor and sighed, "Nangong, I saw the cold expression on the Seventh Prince''s face. I was really worried that he wouldn''t take good care of you."


    Nangong didn''t want to hear anyone say anything about his sweetheart. He covered his ears and jumped, the bell on his body ringing non-stop. It wasn''t until the Southern Sudan pulled her arm and promised her that she would propose to the Emperor that she gave up.


    The Southern Sudan took out a fox fur coat and handed it to Nangong. "This is a fox fur coat made on a journey. I know that Xuanyuan Kingdom is already in winter, so I''m afraid that you''ll feel cold. I''ll give it to you."


    Nangong caressing the fox fur coat, suddenly thought of the little fox beside Qiao Liangjin and quickly told the Southern Sudan about what happened between Qiao Liangjin and the fox.


    The Southern Sudan was overjoyed. Their Southern Kingdom had always liked dealing with weird ancient spirits. If he had the help of that fox spirit, he might be able to obtain the Southern Kingdom''s throne.


    Thinking of this, he patted the back of Nangong''s hand and asked, "Is that little fox in the Prime Minister''s Estate?"


    Nan Gong nodded his head and even took out a pen to draw the path to the residence of the prime minister. He then threw the pen away and said: "Third brother, Sixth brother did not take the fox away the last time he came. You must work hard this time. Also, Yu Linglong does not like this Qiao Liangjin. If you help her deal with this demoness, then the princess must be very grateful to you.


    In Nangong''s world, she did not care about who became the emperor, as she was still a princess. Therefore, when she met the killer sent by the third prince in Shengcheng City, she could also accept it.


    The Southern Sudan was somewhat suspicious. Why was Nangong urging him to snatch that fox? He was not stupid, but after hearing that Yu Linglong also hated that woman, he did not want to investigate the reason further.


    Midnight, the third fragment of the night.


    The sleeping Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes, reached under the pillow and pulled out the dagger.

 C97 Setting Mechanism

    She quietly grabbed the back of the little fox''s neck, who rarely slept on her pillow, and casually threw it onto the beauty couch behind the screen. At the same time, she quietly moved to the side of the table, holding a dagger in one hand and a fire piston in the other.


    The door was pushed open gently. A person who was much taller than Su Ming stood at the door, a gust of cold wind blew into the room.


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled and blew the fire piston in his hand. After lighting the candle, he said slowly, "May I know where this guest came from? Come to my room in the middle of the night, are you trying to taint my innocence or are you trying to steal something from me? "


    The black shadow at the door apparently did not expect Qiao Liangjin to wake up. It seemed as if he was waiting for him. His figure paused, and a bright figure slowly walked from the shadows towards the table with the candle burning.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at that person carefully and shook his head with a smile, "You don''t look like Nan Li. On the other hand, you look a little similar to Nangong."


    That figure paused for a moment before smiling, "Miss Qiao is not very similar to the one in the legends. The legend says that you are ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin trembled, pointed at the door and said: "It''s very cold outside, I''ll have to trouble you to close the door."


    That Southern Sudan was also obedient, he turned around and closed the door, and then walked to the side of the table, borrowing the candle flame to carefully examine the girl in front of him, as if he was completely different from the rumors he heard, and hesitantly asked: "You are ¡­. Qiao Liangjin? "


    Qiao Liangjin spread out his hands and asked innocently, "What else?"


    "This King wants that fox spirit." After confirming that the person in front of him was Qiao Liangjin, the Southern Sudan immediately spoke.


    Qiao Liangjin blinked and looked at the man in front of him speechlessly. Was there not a single normal person from the Southern Kingdom? That''s right, there was one that was more normal.


    "What is it? Could it be that you want This King to rob you by force? " Southern Sudan sounded a little unhappy.


    "No, no, no. Your Highness, between you and Nan Li, who do you think has the highest martial arts skills?" Qiao Liangjin supported his chin with one hand, while the other lightly tapped the dagger on the table.


    "¡­" The Southern Sudan fell silent. He naturally knew that his kung fu was higher than Nanli''s.


    Qiao Liangjin yawned as if he already knew the answer. He pointed at the door with his dagger and said, "Go out, close the door, we won''t send you off. Next time, if you want a fox, ask yourself if you can beat Nan Li.


    Suddenly, he rushed towards Qiao Liangjin who was sitting beside the table. With a tiger claw, he wanted to grab her throat, but Qiao Liangjin only had to bend backwards to easily avoid the sneak attack. In the next second, her foot had already kicked South Sudan''s chin, lifting South Sudan up into the air and heavily slamming him onto the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin then turned around and knelt on one knee on the Southern Sudan''s chest. He looked at the Southern Sudan on the ground and sighed while shaking his head: "You are all princes, why don''t you practice your martial arts properly? "Nan Li was defeated by me, and you still want to be brave?"


    "This King is willing to admit defeat." The Southern Sudan that was lying on the ground didn''t struggle at all. It only felt that this obese woman didn''t seem too heavy.


    There was a trace of admiration in Qiao Liangjin''s eyes. She stood up and took two steps back, then smiled: "Forget it, I never admit defeat. You can go back. "Third Prince of the South."


    The Southern Sudan was stunned again. How could this woman be so elegant and be able to guess his identity?


    Behind the screen, Yu Sheng, who had been tossed onto the beauty bed, lazily walked out. He squatted beside Qiao Liangjin. His body seemed to be itchy as he lifted his hind legs and scratched his neck.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and grabbed the little fox''s neck. He pointed at the tip of the little fox''s nose and said, "You really are a treasure. One day, I will really skin you alive and see if you can live forever."


    The little fox was once again grabbed by the neck by Qiao Liangjin, protesting with bared fangs and brandished claws.


    The Southern Sudan sat up, and when he saw the little fox, he shouted in amazement, "What a good fox! No wonder Nan Li wants it too. "


    The little fox and Qiao Liangjin looked at the Southern Sudan at the same time. The little fox silently cursed in its heart, "You''re the fox here, your entire family is one."


    Yu Sheng''s tiny claws suddenly lit up with a small fire of a fox. Struggling to free itself from Qiao Liangjin''s grasp, he landed on the ground, sending the fire from his palm towards the Southern Sudan.


    The Southern Sudan didn''t expect this fox to have fox fire and even used fox fire to attack him. He hastily sidestepped the fire and retreated to the door. He knew that he couldn''t take care of this person and fox today. He opened the door and left.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and quickly walked to the door. He closed the door and lay down. He turned his body to the side and looked at Fox who was curled up into a ball and about to go to sleep. He asked, "Yuesheng ¡­"


    Yu Sheng''s large tail swayed gently.


    "Forget it, go to sleep." Qiao Liangjin sighed and closed his eyes.


    The next day, Qiao Liangjin heard the clanging sounds coming from outside his room. Opening his eyes in anger, he threw on his cloak and stormed out of the room.


    Looking at his back, he seemed to be enjoying himself. No, no, this wasn''t the time to admire a pretty boy, so Qiao Liangjin quickly recalled his lust and walked over to the man''s side and asked with a frown, "May I ask Seventh Prince, what are you doing at my Golden Flower Pavilion so early in the morning?"


    Qiao Liangjin, who was only wearing a cape, frowned and quickly pulled her cloak tightly around him. "I will help you do some mechanisms in the yard, someone will always come in the middle of the night to disturb your sleep, I don''t like it."


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head. "No way, I like to climb over the wall. If you do this, what if that mechanism hurts me?"


    "I''ll give you the blueprints."


    "Then what if my father comes in ¡­"


    "Your father doesn''t know martial arts and he doesn''t know how to climb over walls ¡­"


    "What if it''s my brother?"


    "Your brother has lost all his martial arts."


    "Hai." Qiao Liangjin looked up at the sky speechlessly.


    He held his hands in front of his chest, looked at the few skilled craftsmen who had set up the trap, then turned around and left the restaurant one by one.


    Qiao Liangjin sniffed and laughed: "I feel that these mechanisms are completely useless against you."


    Su Qing nodded silently.


    "What''s the use of that!" The person I want to guard against the most is you! " Qiao Liangjin roared angrily, turned around and entered the house, and shut the door with a ''bang''.


    Su Bai wanted to follow Qiao Liangjin into the room, but his nose almost touched the door. He pushed the door open and realized that Qiao Liangjin had blocked the door with his body.


    He stood at the door for a while and said in a cold voice, "Five days later, I will take my army and go to the south. "When I''m not in the capital, you must be careful, especially when you''re not ¡­"


    The door suddenly opened, and Qiao Liangjin held the armor that was once given to her and stuffed it into her hands. She said: "I don''t need this, if you''re going out to battle it''s better to bring it with you."


    Su Qing looked at the soft armor in her hand and felt her heart warm up. She smiled and said, "This is your size. I can''t wear it."


    "¡­"


    With one hand holding the soft armor and the other holding Qiao Liangjin''s hand, Qing Qing walked into the room. As she walked in, she waved her hand, which was holding the soft armor, behind her and the door closed softly.


    He hung the soft armor on the screen and then took Qiao Liangjin into his arms. He didn''t know why, but he always wanted to hug this woman in front of him.


    Qiao Liangjin only felt that he had warmed up again. Through that layer of cold air, he was clearing the warmth from her body and warming her face through the embroidered robe. She lifted her head and looked at Qing Qing''s slightly green chin and pursed lips. Her heart was slightly moved. She had nearly struggled a couple of times, but in the end, she still stopped.


    Cleaning the faintly discernible pine scent from her body into Qiao Liangjin''s nose, the clean smell made her feel lost, she didn''t even know when, her hands actually went around her waist and gently placed behind his waist.


    Clearing his eyes, an inexplicable sense of fullness filled his heart. He even had the feeling that he wanted to rub her into his body. Her warm breath and soft body caused his heart to wrinkle.


    It wasn''t until there was a knock on the door that Qing Shui finally let go of Qiao Liangjin. With a smile, Ruo Lan came in with the washbasin and greeted her, "Miss ¡­" Suddenly, she saw Qiao Liangjin standing face to face with Su Qing. Qiao Liangjin''s face was flushed red, she quickly turned around and apologized: "Sorry, Miss, your servant ¡­ "Your servant doesn''t know ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin muttered, "What''s the point of apologizing? Come in and put down the washbasin. It''s not like I did anything shameful." It''s just a man here. "


    How could he forget Qiao Liangjin''s words that he was just one of the men she considered and that she would marry many more husbands in the future?


    Qiao Liangjin threw the cloak that he was wearing onto the bed and waited for Ruo Lan to put down the washbasin. Then, as if no one was around, he bent down to wash his face. After that, he used the handkerchief to wipe his face and looked at Su Nan and asked: "Are you not going to leave? Do you want to have breakfast? Could it be that he wasn''t going to the imperial court today? Nangong had already gotten rid of her? Is the matter with Yu Linglong settled? "

 C98 Coleopterin

    She looked at the sharp-tongued girl in front of her. His white forefinger lightly pressed against her chattering lips.


    Qiao Liangjin never thought that Su Qingqing would use such a method to shut him up. Her almond eyes kept blinking as she looked at Su Qingqing''s black agate eyes. Somehow, she bit off a bit of Su Qingqing''s finger.


    His hearty laughter grew louder and louder as he laughed. He pulled Qiao Liangjin into his arms again and stopped laughing. He smelled her fragrance and said in a low voice, "Take care of yourself while I''m gone. Don''t let anyone hurt you."


    Without waiting for Qiao Liangjin to reply, she suddenly let go of her and turned around to leave the room, leaving her staring blankly at that person''s disappearing figure. If it wasn''t for the fact that the temperature was still hot, she would have thought that she had dreamt early in the morning and even extended her hand, wanting to touch that distant figure.


    Suddenly realizing that her actions were laughable, she quickly retracted her hand and stabilized her state of mind.


    The door was wide open, and a few female servants were peeping in from the outside. When they found that Su Qing was no longer there, they entered the room smiling, as if they knew that all of us did not need to say anything.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the mysterious smiles of the maids and shook his head. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Hurry up and serve Master food. I''m starving."


    She knew very well that she did not belong to this generation. If she were to really fall in love with someone, how would she tell that person about her departure in the future, and how they would separate? Would she still be the same after they parted ways?


    After eating a few tasteless mouthfuls of congee, Qiao Liangjin put down his spoon. Pushing the bowl away, he patted his knees and said to Yu Sheng, "Come, let''s chat for a while."


    He raised his pair of fox-like eyes and looked at the somber Qiao Liangjin. He tilted his head and was somewhat puzzled. The once peerless master who was even inferior to the thick-skinned city wall appeared to be somewhat sad today?


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand gently caressed Yu Sheng''s back, and his eyes dimmed as he said, "Actually, the blood contract between us is also due to the accident of my coming to this world. Say, if a strange guest like me who descended from the sky really leaves, would many people be sad?"


    Yu Sheng''s eyes dimmed slightly. He obediently stuck out his tongue and gently licked the back of Qiao Liangjin''s hand, as though he was comforting her.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly sniffed and laughed. "This is really strange. Is it because my aunt is coming? Recently, I have been feeling very sad."


    At this moment, Yu Sheng, who was usually nowhere to be seen, was quietly lying on Qiao Lianjin''s knee. Perhaps it was because of the blood contract, he could feel Qiao Liangjin''s slight loss, but he did not understand if this matter had something to do with Su Chen going to help the Southern Kingdom fight.


    One man and one fox, they quietly stayed in the warm room until Qiao Xinting''s voice came from outside. Only then did Qiao Liangjin let go of Yuesheng and go to open the door. Qiao Xinting, whose face had turned red from the cold, stood there anxiously.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t even bother to ask when he saw the situation. He turned around and walked into the house. He put on his cloak and went out the door, pulling Qiao Xinting along with him.


    Qiao Xinting held Qiao Lianjin''s hand and said anxiously, "Mother was fine last night, but after taking the medicine this morning, she was lying on the bed and couldn''t get up."


    Qiao Liangjin squeezed Qiao Xinting''s ice-cold hand, signaling her not to be too worried and said: "It''s okay, I''ll go take a look. Is Qing going to find a doctor?"


    Qiao Xinting nodded and pulled Qiao Lianjin along. However, she felt a lot more relaxed. She didn''t know why, but she felt that this big sister in front of her was trustworthy.


    He had just walked through the long corridor of the courtyard when he met Qiao Zheng who was walking hurriedly towards the Calm Heart Garden. Qiao Liangjin pulled Qiao Xinting along and quickly followed. He called out to Qiao Zheng, "Father."


    Qiao Zheng turned his head and saw Qiao Liangjin and Qiao Xinting. He asked, "How is Cai Ting?"


    Qiao Liangjin was slightly surprised that Qiao Zheng was actually concerned about Guo Caiting. Qiao Zheng continued to walk towards Ning Xin Garden and said: "Qin Se sent someone to tell me that she is currently in Ning Xin Garden. Xin Ting, where is your servant girl?" "Where did you go?"


    Qiao Xinting''s nose twitched as she replied, "Qing went to invite the doctor. My mother did not know what happened. She was much better last night, but she was suddenly unable to get up this morning ¡­"


    With that, they arrived at Tranquil Heart Garden. Outside the door stood Qin Se''s servant girl. She looked anxious as she stomped her feet and said, "Master, you''re really here. "Third Madam, how long has it been since you''ve taken on the role of housekeeper? How come ¡­" As he said this, he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin looked coldly at the servant girl in front of him. She wanted to continue acting, but it was not like she was crying. Instead, she wanted to continue acting! He didn''t even shed a tear. He gave a bad rating and got a negative score.


    Luo Tian''s gaze met Qiao Liangjin''s cold gaze and he hurriedly withdrew. He pushed open the door and said: "Master, Miss, you two quickly go in."


    Qiao Zheng crossed the room with his hands behind his back and heard Qin Se calling out to Guo Caiting from beside the bed.


    Qiao Liangjin''s impression of Qin Se was limited to the memory of that day. Other than that, he had no memory of anything else. Today, seeing her look like a little white flower, she smiled internally. It really was another green tea bitch. Qiao Yin really did resemble her.


    When Qin Se saw Qiao Zheng and Qiao Liangjin enter, she stood up with the intention of getting lucky, but was stopped by Qiao Zheng and asked, "What are you doing here?"


    Qin Se was startled and quickly replied, "My sister was the housekeeper these days and gave us a lot of benefits, so I felt my body was a bit better today, so I came over to thank you. I didn''t expect ¡­"


    Listening to Qin Se''s words, Qiao Liangjin sat on the bedside and pressed the back of his hand against Guo Caiting''s forehead. She didn''t feel feverish at all. She carefully examined her face, only feeling that the dark circles around her eyes were much heavier than usual.


    Qiao Liangjin did a motion as if he wanted to wake Guo Caiting up, and placed a hand on her pulse. In just a moment, she wrinkled her brows. This poison was coming at her aggressively, it was different from the poison that Guo Caiting had taken earlier.


    She let go of her hand and stood up, using her fat body to block everyone, while her finger agilely brushed across several of Guo Caiting''s important acupuncture points. She then turned around and asked, "Who has heard of the Gut Cutting poison?"


    When the people in the room heard Qiao Liangjin''s question, they were all startled and shook their heads.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and looked towards Zi Yan. Zi Yan walked over, and Qiao Liangjin whispered a few words into her ear. Zi Yan nodded and left the room.


    Qin Se frowned. This vulgar, fat girl who only knew how to pester men every day, what could she possibly understand? She walked up and pulled Qiao Liangjin away from Guo Caiting''s bedside, "Jin''er, aunty knows that you''re anxious, but it''s useless here ¡­"


    "Second Aunt, you seem very happy." Qiao Liangjin pursed his lips into a smile and suddenly said.


    The Qin Se, who originally wanted to pull Qiao Liangjin away from Guo Caiting, paused for a moment. She raised her teary eyes and looked at Qiao Liangjin with an expression of disbelief.


    Qiao Zheng heard Qiao Liangjin''s words and looked suspiciously at the teary Qin Se. Ever since Qiao Liangjin left to find his brother and returned safely, he had trusted his daughter far more than anyone else. He believed that Qiao Liangjin would not say these words for no reason.


    Qiao Zheng did not pity Qin Se''s tears but instead heard him say, "Qin Se, you are not well to begin with. Cai Ting is sick so don''t infect you. Put her down and help her rest."


    She, who had always been like a delicate flower, did not say much. She did not even glance at the people in the room, and just let Luo Tian help her out of Tranquil Heart Garden.


    Luo Tian supported Qinse out of the courtyard. He turned around to look at the gate of the Tranquil Heart Garden and sneered, "Your tears don''t seem to be as easy to use as they were in the past, my wife."


    Qin Se didn''t seem to hear the ridicule from Falling Sky. She shook off his arm, tightened the cloak around her, and walked straight to the Sine Pavilion.


    Qiao Zheng saw that there were no longer any outsiders in the room, so he went forward to carefully examine Guo Caiting who was lying on the bed. He softly asked: "Jin''er, what happened to Cai Ting?"


    "The Aconitine''s poison is the most troublesome." Qiao Liangjin replied in an extremely simple manner.


    Not long later, Purple Smoke came in with a bag of items and placed it on the table. Qiao Liangjin opened the bag and Qiao Zheng followed suit to take a look. It was only then did he realize that the bag was filled with scraps.


    "What is this?"


    "This is the herb Third Aunt took today." Qiao Liangjin answered and picked up a few of the herbs that couldn''t be seen and laughed.


    "It really is the Intestine Breaking Grass. Someone had tampered with the third concubine''s herbs." Purple smoke, such as blue, urge to vomit. Prepare the green bean soup. " Qiao Liangjin threw the herbs in his hand back into his medicine bag, then turned around and commanded his servant girl to begin detoxifying Guo Caiting.


    Qiao Zheng quietly hid to the side and watched Qiao Liangjin seriously instructing the maids to cure Guo Caiting''s poison. For some reason, he felt empty in his heart, it was as if he had missed out on the growth of his daughter. In the blink of an eye, his daughter had become sensible and was able to support the entire Prime Minister Manor.


    His eyes felt slightly hot as he thought of Qiao Liangjin''s mother. His heart was somewhat comforted. If he were to leave one day, he would have the face to go see her mother.


    After Guo Caiting''s breathing calmed down a little, Qiao Liangjin settled Guo Caiting down. He patted her on the shoulder and asked, "It''s alright."


    Qiao Xinting pursed her lips and slightly nodded. She quietly sat down beside Guo Caiting, her two small hands tightly holding Guo Caiting''s bony fingers.


    When the doctor arrived, Qiao Xinting moved out of the way. After the doctor checked her pulse, he said with some surprise, "Madam has been poisoned, but it has already been cured. Fortunately, it was cured early. If I were to come, I''m afraid I would not be able to reverse the situation."


    Qiao Zheng raised his head to look at Qiao Liangjin who was standing at the side and felt an inexplicable sense of pride. He thought that his children would become trash but did not expect Qiao Liangjin to be able to secretly learn this medical skill.


    Qiao Liangjin felt Qiao Zheng''s gaze on her and turned to Qiao Zheng with a faint smile. She did not intend to explain to Qiao Zheng all of her actions. The more she explained, the more confused she became.


    The doctor wrote down the prescription and handed it over to Qiao Lianjin. Qiao Liangjin examined it carefully before handing it over to Ruo Lan and warned her in front of Qiao Zheng: "These few days, you will stay behind to take care of Third Madame. Do not let anything pass through anyone''s hands."


    If Lan Lan kept the prescription, she nodded and sent the doctor out.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was sitting beside Qiao Xinting, stared at her panicked eyes and asked: "Xinting, do you regret coming back?"


    Qiao Xinting let out a cry of "ah" and looked at Qiao Liangjin with fear. His hands tightly gripped the corner of his robe as he bit his lower lip, not knowing how to respond.

 C99 Harboring Evil Intentions

    Qiao Liangjin sighed, patted her shoulder and comforted her, "When your mother wakes up, you guys can go back to the villa. Although it will be a bit difficult, at least you won''t lose your life, at least you won''t lose it.


    She bit her lips and did her best not to let herself cry as she shook her head. She was not an ignorant child who had known from a young age that she and her mother were in the prime minister''s house. Now that her mother had said that she would help her elder sister, she was afraid, but she did not want to cower.


    Trying desperately to hold back the tears that were about to fall, Qiao Xingran said with a trembling voice: "Big sister ¡­ ¡­" "We''re not going back ¡­"


    Qiao Zheng heard the conversation between the two sisters and his thick eyebrows slowly knitted together. Since when had his Prime Minister Residence become so bitter? Had he been too engrossed with the matters of the court to care about the affairs of the Prime Minister''s Estate?


    Qiao Zheng cleared his throat and placed one hand on Qiao Xinting''s shoulder while the other on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder and said, "I will investigate thoroughly."


    Qiao Liangjin swept a glance at Qiao Zheng and said with a cold smile, "Father, you will never understand the inner courtyard''s internal strife. You might as well have some time to play chess with the Great Sima Zhang Zhonghan, drink tea, and chat. If there is a chance, you must also introduce your daughter to the Great Sima, who is renowned throughout the world."


    Qiao Zheng listened attentively to Qiao Liangjin''s words and could not understand why the topic was related to the man. Looking at his eldest daughter suspiciously, he felt that she was becoming more and more cunning like a fox.


    When Qiao Liangjin was done settling everything, he went out with Qiao Zheng. It was almost noon and Qiao Liangjin''s hands were clasped together as he let out a breath of cold air and laughed, "Father, how can the First Madame sit so well at this time?"


    When Qiao Zheng heard Qiao Liangjin''s words, he could faintly feel a sense of unhappiness in his heart. He did not know if it was because of Qiao Liangjin''s words or because of her chastity.


    Qiao Liangjin held onto Qiao Zheng as they walked towards the study. Just as they entered the study, a voice called out from the other side of the door: "Master."


    Qiao Liangjin opened the door and looked at chastity with a smile.


    Zhen Yuxin was preparing to enter, but she saw Qiao Liangjin blocking the door. Her originally calm and collected appearance made her slightly flustered. She then revealed a motherly smile: "So Jin`er is here too."


    "That''s right, First Madame, Third Madame has been poisoned. It''s so scary. I don''t think she''ll be able to take it this time." Qiao Liangjin said with a fake smile.


    Zhen Yuxin''s pupils shrank, but her smile became dramatic and she said, "Jin''er, don''t talk nonsense. I told the water lotus to ask, it''s fine now."


    Qiao Liangjin was picking at his finger, and he squinted at Zhen Zhen Xin, but he refused to give up his seat to let her into the study.


    Qiao Zheng tilted his head to look at chastity outside the door and said: "Jin''er, why don''t you let Yuanxin in?"


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin give way slightly, and only then did chastity lift her skirt and step into the study.


    Qiao Liangjin closed the door, rubbed his hands and smiled, "My wife''s martial arts should be good. "In such cold weather, I would have already gone out wearing only this cotton robe. If it was me instead, I would have already been shivering from the cold."


    Zhen Yuxin''s footsteps that were headed for Qiao Zheng suddenly became disorderly. She stopped and closed her eyes to take a deep breath before smiling at Qiao Zheng. "I''ve been married to Master for so many years, and Master knows that I don''t know anything. Jin''er, I really don''t know martial arts."


    Qiao Zheng''s gaze swept across Zhen Zhen''s leg but silently nodded his head.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. "Haha, I''m just spouting nonsense. Madame, you know that I don''t have a mouth for nonsense. I just like spouting nonsense. "Haha."


    Qiao Zheng unfurled the documents on the table and sat down. He picked up a pen and made as if he wanted to prepare for work, then raised his head to look at the two of them.


    Chong Yuanyuan happily turned and left the room, Qiao Liangjin quickly followed her out as well.


    Walking behind her, Qiao Lianjin whispered: "Qianyin, there are a lot of problems. I think I will slowly communicate with you. However, it is not up to you to be the head of the house."


    When her heart heard the last sentence, her shoulders suddenly trembled. She turned around and smiled at Qiao Lianjin, "I''m too old. If Jin`er likes being the boss, I''m willing to help you. After all, you are the direct daughter of the Prime Minister."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, waved his hand and said: "Stop joking, are you happy with the opening, Madam? "Anyway, I''m pretty happy."


    As she spoke, she paced in front of her chastity.


    Joan of Arc''s gaze became more and more profound, more and more sinister. The fists under her robes gradually shrank together.


    Two days later, Qiao Xin Ting helped Guo Caiting to the entrance of the Flowergold Pavilion. Zi Yan hurriedly went out to help Guo Caiting enter the room.


    Qiao Liangjin was dictating the story of < The Eight Heavenly Dragons Sects >, letting Pai Dai write it down on a piece of paper. Seeing Guo Caiting enter, he also went over and lightly reproached her, "Xinting her:" Xinting, what business do you have with your mother? Just ask A''Qing to come look for me, why are you helping your mother along? "


    Although she spoke reproachfully, her hand subconsciously brushed the hair by Qiao Xinting''s ear behind her ear.


    Guo Caiting gasped lightly, sitting in her teacher''s chair. Her lips were still pale, looking as though she had just recovered from a severe illness, causing her heart to ache a little.


    Guo Caiting looked lovingly at Qiao Xinting, gasping for breath, she said, "Eldest Miss, I insisted on coming."


    Qiao Liangjin poured a cup of hot water and passed it to Guo Caiting. He sat down on the side and asked, "Third Madame, you should take good care of yourself."


    "We won''t return to the villa. I came back to help you, but I was careless this time and gave us a chance. Presumably when I was unconscious, the young miss had already expressed her suspicions to the prime minister. Otherwise, why would the butler still go to the Peace Heart Garden to ask me all the things? "


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up slightly, but he didn''t answer. He carefully peeled the melon seeds from the plate one by one and placed them on another plate. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Third Madame, with your current body, can you really bear so many trifling matters? "Don''t say that I''m not helping you, I''ve been trying my best to act the part of a hedonistic girl. She has a lecherous and gluttonous look, I really can''t help you much."


    Guo Caiting smiled, "Actually, I want someone who can help me."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand stopped and he asked, "Who?"


    "Qin Se."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand only paused for a moment, then he continued peeling the melon seeds and asked: "Why is it her?"


    "Because she is at the bottom of her chastity and her days are not easy, especially Qiao Yin, who is still confined within the Sound Pavilion. If she wants her daughter to marry into a rich family, she must attend many rich families'' gatherings. And all of this, my chastity will absolutely not allow it. "


    "So I thought, if she''s willing to help me, I''ll ask Miss to think of a way to convince the Lord Prime Minister and release Qiao Yin from his confinement so that she can leave the manor. Qin Se will definitely do her best to help me."


    Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin knew that Guo Caiting was taking advantage of Qin Se''s weakness. It was undeniable that her method was very useful, but she still raised her own question, "This is easy to say, but what if Qin Se disagrees? Or, if she grows stronger, what can you do to restrain her in the future? "


    Guo Caiting wasn''t in a hurry. She took two light sips of hot water, smiled and said, "Qiao Yin is her biggest weakness."


    Qiao Liangjin couldn''t help but clap his hands in applause for Guo Caiting. She originally thought that the woman who followed beside her mother in her previous life was a coward, but now it seemed that Guo Caiting was also a tough nut to crack.


    After throwing down the melon seeds in his hand, Qiao Liangjin smiled, "Okay. "Then it''s settled."


    After sending off Guo Caiting and her daughter, Qiao Liangjin quickly changed into men''s attire. He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded his head in satisfaction. After greeting Pai Dai, he put the little fox on his shoulder and jumped out of the Flowing Flower Pavilion.


    She had heard about the arrival of a new chef at the Fragrant Sky Tower for a long time, and she had not seen any of them for a long time. Recently, all she could think about was clearing up the mess, and she needed to find someone to deal with it, thinking about how her best friend in this world was actually a man.


    When they arrived at the chrysanthemum hall, An Ge saw Qiao Lianjin, who was wearing a man''s outfit. He nodded with a smile and pointed to the second floor.


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed Yu Sheng, who was leaning on her shoulder with squinted eyes, and swaggered up the stairs. When she reached Bai Wu''s door, she heard the zither music from inside.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to knock on the door, the door next to Bai Wu Chen''s room suddenly opened. A man in red clothes leaned against the door as he looked at Qiao Liangjin with a cold smile and pointed to his own room.


    The moment Qiao Liangjin saw the red-clothed man, he thought that he saw that red packet burning away to clear out the mess. When he looked carefully, he couldn''t help but feel disappointed.


    Judging from the man''s words, it was likely that he had something he wanted to say. She turned around and went next door.


    Entering the room, Qiao Liangjin discovered that the room was completely red.


    Yu Sheng, who was lying on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder, suddenly raised his head in alarm as hissing sounds came from his mouth.


    Qiao Liangjin gently patted his head. Seeing the red clothed man close the door, she did not sit down and instead asked, "What do you have to say?"


    "Hong Chen hopes that Miss Qiao can persuade Bai Wu Chen." The red clothed man cupped his hands and bowed.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows raised slightly and his face was filled with confusion. Why did he have to persuade Bai Wuyi?


    "Where did you come from? Why should I advise him? " Qiao Liangjin thought of the other voice he had heard at the White Door that day. It seemed to be this Hong Chen.


    Hong Chen did not reply. Instead, he raised his palm, and a mass of yellow light gradually appeared within it. The light grew brighter and brighter, and all the hair on Yu Sheng''s body stood on end.


    Qiao Liangjin felt a sense of pressure he had never felt before. Even his breathing was a little ragged, and the surrounding air was almost thinning out.

 C100 Restaurant Disturbance

    The red dust suddenly closed its palms, and the light disappeared.


    Qiao Liangjin took two deep breaths. Just who was this Hong Chen? If he was already this strong, then wouldn''t Bai Wu is even stronger than him? Why did they keep it here?


    "You all ¡­"


    "It''s not convenient for me to say anything to you, but I really hope that you can persuade Bai Wu. He should come with me now. The longer time passes, the worse it will be for him ¡­" The appearance of the mortal world was very anxious.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the anxious eyes of Hong Chen and knew that he was not joking with him. He could not help but nod his head. "Alright, I will give it a try."


    Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Bai Wu Yu, who was wearing plain clothes, frowned slightly as he looked at Hong Chen and said, "Hong Chen, you''re talking nonsense again."


    Qiao Liangjin did not wait for Hong Chen to speak and stood right in front of him. He smiled at Bai Wu Chen and said, "It''s nothing. I just said a few words. I heard that a new chef from the Fragrant Sky Restaurant has arrived. Please accompany me to eat."


    Bai Wu lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin''s smile. His brows suddenly relaxed and a smile that was like the stars bloomed, "Alright, I will accompany you."


    Arriving at the Fragrant Sky Tower, Qiao Liangjin took the cloaked Bai Chao to the third floor and asked for a room. He placed Yu Sheng, who was sitting on a large armchair, on his shoulders and complained, "This damn fox is getting heavier and heavier."


    When Bai Wu heard this, he stood up and walked to Qiao Liangjin''s back. His slender fingers were massaging Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder.


    Qiao Liangjin felt extremely comfortable. He closed his eyes and enjoyed Bai Wuyi''s massage. The two of them remained silent until the waiter served the dishes. Only then did Qiao Liangjin pat the back of Bai Wu-shuang''s hand, indicating that it was about time.


    Only then did Bai Wu Chen sit opposite of Qiao Liangjin. As he looked at Qiao Liangjin, the corners of his lips slowly formed the most beautiful picture.


    Qiao Liangjin covered his face with his hands and laughed. "Bai Wu, don''t look at me like that. Your eyes are too soul-stirring."


    With that, he raised his chopsticks, pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Come, have a taste of these special dishes. I wonder if they will suit your appetite."


    Saying so, he poured himself a cup of wine. After thinking for a moment, he poured another cup of wine for Bai Wu Chen and placed it in front of him.


    Bai Wuxiang elegantly raised his chopsticks, gently tasting the dark green bamboo shoot silk and said with a smile, "Mmm, light and tasty. The culinary skills of this chef are indeed quite good."


    Qiao Liangjin also took a sip of bamboo shoot thread along with Bai Wuyu and laughed, "Indeed, crisp and straightforward. If it weren''t for the fact that it''s already winter here, I would have thought that it was a bamboo shoot in spring and March."


    Bai Wu put down his chopsticks and looked at Qiao Liangjin with his peach blossom eyes. He asked gently, "You... Why don''t you ask me about me? And the words of the Red Dust? "


    Qiao Liangjin did not want Bai Wuqing to ask this question directly, so she also put down her chopsticks, raised her white jade cup, and smiled bitterly: "Since you did not say anything, then naturally you have your own reasons. In short, I trust you, and I know that you will not harm me, so, no matter where you come from, what you do, or where you go, I will not ask."


    This little girl always trusted him so much that he couldn''t bear to leave. He raised his glass and downed it in one gulp as he smiled and said, "If Miss Qiao doesn''t mind, then I, Bai Wu is truly willing to accompany you through all the difficulties."


    Qiao Liangjin tore off the leg of a salty duck and handed it over to Yu Sheng. Turning around, he saw that Bai Wu Chen had already poured a second cup of wine, she snatched the cup over and shook her head, "Your health isn''t good, you''re different from me. So, you can use tea in place of wine and drink with me.


    Bai Wu Chen''s eyes dimmed for a moment. He then raised his teacup and smiled. "Fine, I''ll do as you say."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes turned red and his cheeks bloomed like peach blossoms. Then, he touched his face and said, "Bai Wu, do you think we should clean it up? But it''s really weird, every time, every time I encounter something, he''s always by my side. That time when I was looking for my brother, he actually went to Sheng Cheng as well. "


    "He accompanied me down the cliff and found my brother with me. He said that if I kill Nangong, then at most, there will be a war with the Southern Kingdom. Do you believe that he was the one who said all these?"


    Bai Wuyou replied flatly, "I believe you."


    Qiao Liangjin gave a faint smile and supported his chin with both hands. He swayed a little and asked: "Why?"


    "Because you''re worth it."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and stood up. He patted himself on the shoulder and Yu Sheng leaped onto it. She let out a burp and asked, "Bai Wu, are you full?"


    Bai Wu stood up as well and supported Qiao Liangjin who was swaying slightly. He nodded and said, "Of course."


    Qiao Liangjin threw a silver note onto the table and waved his hand, "Okay, let''s go!"


    Bai Wu supported Qiao Liangjin as they slowly walked down the stairs. Qiao Liangjin was just about to reach the first floor when he suddenly stumbled and his legs gave way as Bai Wu''s arms wrapped around him.


    The little fox, Yuesheng, had been obediently lying on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder. Who knew that with a shake, she would cause Yuesheng to fall to the ground.


    Suddenly, a hand grabbed him by the neck. A voice that was not very friendly rang out in his ears, "Hey, isn''t that the little fox? How could he be lost? "It''s really like looking for a broken iron shoe ¡­"


    Yuesheng glanced over and realized that it was the Third Prince of the Southern Kingdom who had come to capture him that night. His hands were crossed over his chest in anger.


    Seeing that the little fox had been picked up by someone, she giggled and wanted to hug it back, but she did not expect that that person to turn around and hand the little fox over to the person behind her. She then turned around and smiled, "Why is that little fox ¡­"


    Before she could finish her words, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, and her left eye was struck by Qiao Liangjin''s fist. What she hated the most was someone touching her thing.


    Bai Wudi nimbly supported Qiao Lianjin. With a light wave of his sleeve, he said gently, "You''re drunk."


    With a flick of his sleeve, the Southern Sudan who had caught the little fox and Nangong who was holding it flew back into the wall and crashed into the ground. The little fox, Yu Sheng, was pressed down by Nangong as he cried out in pain.


    Qiao Liangjin let out a burp from his burp. Suddenly, his eyes curved into a smile. "How strange. Why were they all thrown so hard?"


    Bai Wu supported Qiao Liangjin as he leaned him against the wall and walked over. He picked up the little fox and patted the dust off the little fox''s body before placing it on his shoulder.


    Yu Sheng blinked his slender eyes as he sized Bai Wu''s body up. Then, he nodded and obediently lay down on Bai Wu''s shoulder.


    Bai Wuhui supported Qiao Liangjin and casually threw him onto the storekeeper''s table. With an apologetic smile, he said, "I''m really sorry, storekeeper."


    The shopkeeper saw this scene and was about to call the waiter over when something shiny golden suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He quickly took it off the ground, raised his palm and saw that it was actually a large golden bean, then immediately bowed and said, "Aiya, this grandpa, take care."


    Bai Wu smiled lightly as he supported Qiao Liangjin over. Qiao Liangjin did not feel satisfied, as he stepped on the Southern Sudan twice: "I will help you clear out, but you are causing trouble here!"


    "Don''t let them go!" he shouted at the door.


    As Bai Wuqiao and Leng Jin walked to the door, they saw dozens of lances glowing coldly at the two of them.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had been blown away by the cold wind, felt even more dizzy. She shook her head and looked at the spears, sneering, "Your Southern Kingdom spears are pointed at my people. I wonder what you two have in mind ¡­"


    Behind him, the Southern Sudan was stunned. He looked doubtfully at Nangong. Nangong tried his best to lift his upper body, pointed his index finger at Qiao Lianjin and said while gnashing his teeth, "She actually beat up the envoy from the Southern Kingdom!"


    Qiao Liangjin burped once again. His eyes were filled with ridicule as he pointed at his own nose. He charmingly smiled at Bai Wuxia and asked: "Did I hit him?"


    Xiao Bai had never seen such a charming Qiao Lianjin before. His fingers tapped on his chest lightly, as if they were stones sprinkling onto the surface of his heart, he did his best to calm his mind and smiled, "Bai Wu Chen did not see it."


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and waved towards the shopkeeper behind the door and asked: "Did you see that?"


    The shopkeeper shook his head and waved his hand. Then, he lowered his head and continued to work on his calculations.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud and turned his head around. His finger lightly glanced at the ice-cold spear and only the corner of his mouth curled up. "Withdraw all of you who are trying to scare people."


    Nangong endured the pain all over his body, struggling to stand up, supporting himself with the door, he pointed at the little fox on Bai Wu''s body and asked: "Isn''t that fox Qiao Liangjin''s? Why are you two holding it?"


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin remember that he was dressed like a man. She raised her chin as if she was saying, "Miss Qiao, why did you give it to me to play for two days?"


    Nangong''s face immediately turned pale. She bit her lips and shook her head, "No, it''s from our Southern Kingdom. You can''t take it." With that, he pulled out the dagger he had brought with him and walked over, gritting his teeth.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and was about to speak when Bai Wuqing''s voice, which was as cold as spring water, lightly rang in her ears, "It''s getting late, everyone, don''t cause trouble."


    Bai Wuhuan wrapped around Qiao Liangjin''s waist and spun around. By the time Qiao Liangjin had regained his senses, the soldiers and the spears were already long gone from sight. The dagger in Nangong''s hand had already locked onto the pillar.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his body, raised his hand and tapped Bai Wu''s nose as he laughed. "Still pretending, you still say that you don''t know martial arts ¡­"


    Pushing past Bai Wu''s shoulder, her eyes suddenly widened. She wanted to push Bai Wu''s hand away and shouted, "Be careful!"

 C101 Stengjin

    Bai Wu continued to smile, and did not evade. Instead, he snapped his fingers towards the back. The Southern Sudan was like a kite with its string cut, flying out of the Fragrant Sky Tower and landing heavily in the snow.


    Bai Wu followed Qiao Liangjin''s example and blinked innocently as he said: "Look, I didn''t do anything."


    With that, he supported Qiao Liangjin as they slowly walked through the crowd.


    He only heard someone pointing behind him, "Isn''t that the top card of the Ju Hua Hall, Bai Wu ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s mind was getting more and more unclear as the cold wind blew over him. His footsteps also became heavier and heavier ¡­


    When he woke up, Qiao Liangjin sat up abruptly. The violet-colored blanket, the violet-colored bedsheet, and the little fox, Yusheng, were sleeping by his pillow. She checked her clothes again.


    Qiao Liangjin knocked on his head. It was over. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t fix this problem.


    After getting off the bed and stretching his body, he prepared to go wash up. Bai Wuqing''s indifferent voice came from the beauty bed, "Are you awake?"


    Qiao Liangjin made a sound of ''oh'' and went to wash himself. He then put on all the clothes that were on the side before turning his head to look at Bai Wu lying on the beauty bed.


    Bai Wu Yi held his head with one hand, his clothes half open and a touch of jade colored skin suffused with light. He looked further down and saw a little cherry colored skin ¡­


    Qiao Liangjin coughed dryly and his face was inexplicably red. He turned around and said: "I was drunk last night and got you to take care of me. Sorry."


    Only then did Bai Wuyi get up, and he gathered up his clothes before sending Qiao Liangjin to the door. With a smile, he said, "It is my honor to be able to take care of Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze unconsciously swept across Bai Wu''s chest, and a large amount of red clouds appeared on his face. He grabbed the little fox who was still in a daze and left Bai Wu''s room as though he was escaping.


    Zi Yan was pacing back and forth in front of the entrance when they returned to the Flowing Gold Pavilion. When she climbed over the wall, she hurriedly went over to the little fox and asked, "Miss, why didn''t you come back last night?"


    Qiao Liangjin gave an awkward smile and rubbed his nose as he replied, "I was drunk last night and fell asleep."


    Zi Yan pouted and said, "Over there, Miss Biao has been waiting for you for a long time."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at his men''s clothes and rubbed his temples in pain. He asked: "Why didn''t you let her in?"


    Zi Yan twitched her mouth and replied, "Miss is not in the mansion, how are the servants supposed to answer? I can only say that Miss is angry and can''t wake up. This Miss Biao is really persistent and has been standing by the door waiting for you. Look at how cold the weather is. "


    Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. As he walked into the room, he untied his belt and handed it to Zi Yan: "You don''t come looking for me for no reason at all. It''s definitely not a good thing."


    After changing into an oversized battle uniform, Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door. With a face full of smiles, he looked at Qiao Ningzi, who was stomping her feet to keep warm, and chided the servant girl, "Look at how cold Miss Biao is. You guys don''t know either, but you should open the door to let Miss Biao in."


    Qiao Ningzi''s face had already turned stiff from the cold. She wanted to force out a smile, but she could only grin and say, "It''s alright, it''s good as long as little sister wakes up."


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t seem to have any intention of letting go of the door, he continued standing at the door, scolding Zi Yan and Ru Lan until he had no words left to say. Only then did he raise his head, as if he just remembered that he had given her a spot to enter, and said: "Aiya, Cousin, I''m really sorry.


    Only then did Qiao Ningzi move her feet and follow Qiao Liangjin into the house.


    At this moment, the little fox was lying on the beauty bed, on its back. From time to time, it would scratch its belly with its claws. On the windowsill beside it, there was a pot of rare mimosa grass.


    Qiao Ningzi sized up the room before rubbing her hands as she smiled and said, "The fire dragon in little sister''s room is probably the hottest one in the house."


    Qiao Liangjin did not deny it. He gave up his seat and asked, "Cousin, what''s the matter?"


    He sat down on the armchair and said: "I heard that Princess Nangong was beaten up last night. This, your majesty is very angry and is searching everywhere for the person who beat up Princess Nangong and the Third Prince of the Southern Domain. That Bai Wu seems to have been recognized by someone ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin, who was yawning, was startled. He laughed: "Why is Cousin so interested in these things?"


    Qiao Ningzi smiled, "I occasionally hear that younger sister often goes to the chrysanthemum hall to help out... I wonder if this information of mine will be useful. "


    Qiao Liangjin put away his smile and looked at Qiao Ningzi, asking seriously, "Cousin, what do you have to say? Just say it."


    "I want to live well with Prince Ning for a hundred years, so why don''t I help you?" Qiao Ningzi was also honest with him.


    She really did not know how the women in this mansion grew up, and all of them appeared to be incomparably noble and noble. However, behind their backs was a constant infatuation, for the sake of a hot man, they would not hesitate to tear apart their sisterhood. Of course, the first thing they would have to do was to have this sisterhood.


    Qiao Ningzi looked at Qiao Liangjin''s face, who was smiling like a flower, and asked with a frown, "Is it funny?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and stopped laughing, "It''s not funny, Cousin, then that Ning Xian Seal is right there, not too far away, not too close, you can do whatever you want, but if you can''t get it, then drug it, if you can''t drug it, then rape it, if you can''t even get the man you love, then how can you talk about love!"


    The words that came out of her mouth left Qiao Ningzi speechless for a long time. Her mouth was agape as she stared at Qiao Liangjin in a daze.


    After a long while, Qiao Ning Zi said with a dry voice, "Jin''er, you''re joking."


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and said with a serious look: "No, do I look like I''m joking? I''m telling the truth. "


    Qiao Ning Zi stood up and walked out of the room. It was as if she had been insulted by Qiao Liangjin. She didn''t even say a word of farewell.


    Qiao Liangjin narrowed her eyes and tried her best to recall what happened last night. Before she lost her consciousness and fell asleep, she seemed to have remembered that Bai Wu did a few actions and then flipped over a bunch of people.


    Qiao Liangjin slammed his fist on the table and said in surprise: "So Bai Wuwu knows martial arts!"


    Thinking that the little fox should be aware of what had happened last night, he walked to the side of the beauty bed and gently rubbed Yu Sheng''s belly. He smiled and asked, "What happened last night?"


    The little fox lazily opened its eyes and looked at Qiao Liangjin who had the appearance of a traitor. "Jiu jiu", it replied to her.


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand paused, and he said in a neither cold nor hot voice: "Your demonic powers have already risen, transform into a human, hurry up."


    A cute little boy sat on the beautiful bed as he yawned and said, "Mistress, you drank too much last night. Bai Wu helped you clean up and took you back with him, then he took care of you until the latter half of the night. Afterwards, he went to sleep and you woke up.


    Qiao Liangjin tilted his head, as though he was considering the possibility of Yu Sheng''s words.


    Although the little fox was fond of playing, it basically would not lie. Qiao Lianjin patted Yu Sheng''s head and said with a smile, "You''re really good. Go to sleep."


    Ruo Lan who was at the side asked worriedly, "If Miss Biao is right, then has Bai Wu been taken away by the government?"


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and clenched his fist. He shook his head and said: "Come, let''s go and have a battle."


    Along the way, he brought his guards and maids to the relay stations of the Southern Sudan and Nangong Residence. Qiao Liangjin lifted the curtains and looked at the relay stations. He coldly waved his hand and said, "Release the smoke and force them out."


    Ah Kuan nodded and lit up the wet hay. Ah Bai fanned himself with his fan with all his might. Not long later, he heard a scream from within the inn, "A fire broke out."


    After a while, everyone in the inn ran out.


    South Sudan and Nangong came running out of the station and out the door. They saw fat Joe Liangjin raise his chin and look at them with a cold smile.


    The Southern Sudan angrily asked, "Did you set this fire?"


    "Not a fire. A smoke."


    "It''s all the same!" Nangong screamed.


    Qiao Liangjin sneered and shot a glance at the disheveled Nangong. "If I set the fire, you two would definitely not be able to escape."


    The Southern Sudan was the third prince after all. He pressed Nangong''s arm, signalling for her to be quiet. He took a step forward and asked: "I wonder how I offended Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Liangjin raised three of his fingers, and replied seriously: "First, that fox is mine now, you guys want it, I''m not happy. "Second, you two are always going against me. Third, you two have captured my Bai Wuyi."


    Every time the Southern Sudan heard a reason, its face would turn colder. After saying the three reasons, the Southern Sudan was enraged, and pointed at Qiao Liangjin and roared: "You are just a mere Prime Minister''s daughter, how could you be so daring?"


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth widened into a smile as he said, "Not only is I the Prime Minister''s daughter, I am also a princess, a true second rank princess."


    Qiao Liangjin could feel more and more people gathering behind him, but she didn''t care. She just wanted to let the two people in front of her know that she, Qiao Liangjin, was not someone to be trifled with.


    The Southern Sudan and Nangong discovered that more and more people were gathering. They suddenly felt a little weak. No matter what, they were here to borrow troops. If they did not give up, would they incur the wrath of the masses?


    Nangong mumbled, "It''s not that we caught him, it was the officials who sent him."


    Qiao Liangjin jumped down from the horse carriage and walked to a place not far from Nangong and Southern Sudan before stopping.


    "Sister? What are you doing here? " Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to speak, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside him.


    Qiao Liangjin''s older brother, Qiao Ruo Ying, stood to the side and acted as though he was protecting Qiao Liangjin. He pointed to the Southern Sudan and asked, "What are you guys planning to do?"


    Qiao Liangjin let out a sigh. This little protector had come out. He couldn''t say anything that he wanted to say.


    The Southern Sudan had long suffered at Qiao Liangjin''s hands. Looking at Qiao Ruo Ying''s arrogant appearance, he thought to himself that she was definitely not a match for him. He could only clasp his hands and apologize: "It was this king''s fault that I accidentally offended Miss Qiao."


    When Nangong heard the Southern Sudan''s apology, he was immediately displeased. He stepped forward and pointed at Qiao Liangjin as he angrily rebuked, "You are truly shameless."

 C102 Return from Purge

    Qiao Liangjin did not even think about it as he slapped Nangong''s face.


    That clear and crisp sound shocked Nangong. It also shocked the Southern Sudan.


    Everyone present was quiet. They didn''t even dare to breathe loudly.


    After a long while, Nangong finally cried out and pointed at Qiao Liangjin. The bell all over his body rang and said, "It''s her. It''s all her. Third brother, kill her."


    Qiao Liangjin turned around, and his gaze swept across more and more people that had gathered behind him. He stretched out his arms and calmly asked: "Do you think I did the right thing?"


    Although Qiao Liangjin was usually a person of indecent character and infatuated with other people, she had never hurt anyone. All of the commoners shook their heads.


    Qiao Liangjin nodded in satisfaction and turned around. He rubbed the back of his hands lightly, and without even raising his eyes, he asked: "What, Princess, do you want to blow this matter up? Why don''t I tell the Seventh Prince to retreat now? If there wasn''t Xuanyuan, do you think you could still be a princess? I''m afraid you can only be a slave for the rest of your life, right? "


    These words caused the Southern Sudan''s face to turn pale. Even the crying Nangong had lost his voice.


    Even though Nangong was willful, he was not stupid. Because of her willfulness, she had caused the entire Southern Kingdom to perish. She would become the eternal sinner of the Southern Kingdom.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at their performance with satisfaction. This was exactly what she wanted.


    A soft applause came from behind him. That voice that had been gone for nearly a month now sounded out, "Jin''er is right. How about I withdraw my troops?"


    The fawn in Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly started to run amok. She tried her best to suppress the ecstasy in her heart as she slowly turned around and walked through the crowd. At a glance, she saw a clean smile. His eyes were only filled with her figure. That smile only bloomed for her. In this cold winter, it brought warmth similar to that of spring.


    Their eyes met, and they all suddenly turned around. With a flash, he landed beside Qiao Liangjin and lightly pulled up her cloak. He said gently, "I already said to take care of yourself, you are always like this."


    She seemed to be blaming him, but in reality, it was a caring tone. Her gaze landed on the person in front of her. He had lost weight, and the green stubble on his chin had already appeared.


    "You ¡­"


    "Greetings, Seventh Prince." The Southern Sudan pulled Nangong and hurriedly bowed.


    However, her clear gaze did not leave Qiao Liangjin in the slightest. She only waved her hand, indicating that he already knew.


    Nangong raised his head and looked at the clear sky filled with Qiao Liangjin''s eyes. He wanted to say something but was stopped by the Southern Sudan. She shook her head gently. There was a hidden bitterness in her gaze as she bit her lips and stared at the pair of people in front of her.


    "Are you okay?" Qiao Liangjin finally spoke.


    Ye Zichen shook his head.


    "That''s good." Qiao Liangjin heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Don''t worry, Bai Wu is back." She cleared her throat and said.


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows slightly raised. She had not expected that this matter would be settled so easily.


    "This King has some important things to do when I get back. I just happened to receive Lu Li''s letter, so I might as well help you get rid of these troubles." His clear tone sounded like he was taking credit for something.


    Qiao Liangjin finally revealed a faint smile. He raised his foot and patted her shoulder and said: "Young man, I really admire you."


    Su Qingqing faintly smiled, then turned to look at the brother and sister of the Southern Kingdom.


    The Southern Sudan hurried forward and cupped his fists. "May I ask, Seventh Prince ¡­"


    "Everything is going well. Nimble and South Li are closing in and taking back the six cities that have been lost. This king thinks that if we go back this time, the Third Marquis should go out to war with us as well?" Clearing the area did not feel that South Sudan should stay.


    If the Southern Sudan was no longer around, then even if a Nangong did not exist, he would not be able to stir up any trouble.


    When the Southern Sudan heard this, he hurriedly replied, "That''s only natural. I wonder when Your Highness will leave?"


    "Tomorrow." After clearing up, he answered concisely. Then, he held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and said: "Miss Qiao, it''s time for you to go back."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and obediently boarded the carriage. She sat down with a peaceful manner, and the fragrance of the water filled her nose. She felt that her mind was no longer clear. Behind her, she could not hear a word that was being said to her.


    Why did such a wise man give up his weapon the moment he was cleaned up? He must have smelled good and lost himself.


    "What are you thinking about?" A clear and melodious sound rang.


    "I''m thinking, if you didn''t appear, how far would the situation have gone? Actually, I was already prepared to go to jail. " Qiao Liangjin answered truthfully.


    After clearing her silence, she suddenly scratched the tip of her nose and smiled. "Idiot."


    After sending Qiao Liangjin to the gate of the Prime Minister''s Estate, he got off the carriage and supported Qiao Liangjin off as well. He said in a soft voice: "Tonight at midnight, outside the wall, I will wait for you."


    The entire Prime Minister''s Mansion was alarmed by the news of his return. It was said that he had even brought Qiao Lianjin back. Qiao Xinyuan and Qiao Xinting brought the news they had heard from the entire Prime Minister''s Hall to the Flower Mansion.


    Qiao Liangjin was in an exceptionally good mood today. He had Matte bring a few snacks and place them on the table for Qiao Siyuan and Qiao Xinting to eat while listening to the two of them talk about what had happened today at the Prime Minister''s Residence.


    Qiao Siyuan said that Qiao Ya had imitated Qiao Liangjin''s expression when she heard that he had sent her back. "I really hate big sister. Why is she so fat? The Seventh Prince is even so concerned about her. She must have been using the Love Parasite!"


    Qiao Xinting looked at Qiao Si''s imitation and laughed. "I saw Cousin Ning Zi constantly picking plum blossoms. When I heard that the Seventh Prince had arrived, he threw all the plum blossoms onto the ground and crushed them with his feet."


    Qiao Liangjin had an interesting look on his face. After he finished listening to the two children''s words, he then drove the two of them back to the study room.


    Dai Li tidied up the pastries on the table and said with a smile, "Seventh Prince is really the most popular prince in this Prime Minister''s house."


    Qiao Liangjin was happy in his heart, but he maintained his indifferent look. He pursed his lips and lazily replied, "Really?"


    However, when she thought back to the moment when she could see him through the crowd, she couldn''t help but press the book against her lips. She was really very happy, and suddenly felt that she had walked too slowly during the day.


    After throwing away the book, Qiao Liangjin lay down on the bed and pulled up the bed curtain. He said in a muffled voice, "I want to sleep, no one is allowed to make a fuss. I will get up later for dinner."


    Pai Dai answered and carried Yusheng, who was rolling on the beauty bed, out the door.


    Qiao Liangjin felt that he needed to catch up on his sleep. The alcohol from last night had only ended by now. He needed to make up for it, or else she would definitely have fallen asleep tonight.


    Closing his eyes, he kept mumbling to himself that he should hurry up and go to sleep. However, the more he wanted to sleep, the less he could sleep. Thus, Qiao Liangjin simply started counting the number of sheep ¡­


    When he woke up, the sky outside was already dark. Qiao Liangjin jumped up from his bed and shouted loudly: "Purple Smoke, Matte, Ruo Lan, I''m going to eat!"


    After eating her fill, Qiao Liangjin burped. Pink tidied up the table and smiled, "Miss, are you going out tonight?"


    Qiao Liangjin was surprised for a moment. He pointed at his own nose and asked: "Did I perform very clearly?"


    Pang Dai nodded with a big smile on her face. "Miss, you haven''t noticed. Ever since the Seventh Prince came, your face has been smiling."


    Qiao Liangjin''s expression immediately turned sullen. Was it really so? Was he that infatuated with her?


    Missy continued, "Missy doesn''t feel like the Seventh Prince is just a pillow anymore, does she? Is he the person who can view the scenery of the world side by side with the young mistress? "


    Qiao Liangjin let out a hollow laugh and interrupted, "Oh right, where''s Yu Cheng?"


    "Yu Sheng is cultivating with the Spirit Swirl. It will take him around two days." Pai Di did not pursue the matter any further and answered Qiao Liangjin''s question.


    Qiao Liangjin was holding the book, but his mind was preoccupied with other things. He could no longer read the book, so he put it down, picked up the pen and began to draw on the paper.


    Not long after, a clear outline was drawn on the paper, but that pair of eyes seemed to be extremely spirited. Qiao Liangjin put down the brush in satisfaction, and carefully sized up the clear outline on the paper, then suddenly laughed.


    Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard. Qiao Liangjin put on a black cloak and left the room.


    She was a punctual person. She jumped onto the wall and saw a red cloaked figure waiting for her under the moonlight.


    She jumped down from the wall and walked straight to the side of the red cloak. She smiled and said, "Seventh Prince has been waiting for a long time."


    Su Qing didn''t reply. She suddenly held her in her arms and lightly tapped her foot on the ground. The two of them ran through the moonlight in the sky.


    This was not the first time she had been hugged like this. As she was so close to him, the pine fragrance on his body became even clearer, and that faint fragrance, that extravagance, made her feel a little absent-minded. She suddenly took two deep breaths and inhaled that fragrance into her nose, and her heart immediately softened; she missed him, and missed him for a long time.


    The light from the lanterns under his feet, the bright moon in the sky, and the twinkling stars all merged into the cold wind. Qiao Liangjin actually didn''t feel cold at all. Perhaps he was with someone he liked.


    Qiao Liangjin simply closed her eyes and let Su Hengqing bring her wherever she wanted. No matter where she wanted to go, she would do it. As long as he was there, she was willing to go to the ends of the earth.


    When Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes, he was already standing on a piece of empty ground. He gently put her down, pointed at a place not far away and said, "Look."


    Not far away, there was a tall object standing there. Qiao Lianjin looked carefully and saw that it was quite far away, so she couldn''t see it clearly. She carefully walked over to the object and discovered that it was an ice sculpture.


    Qiao Liangjin followed the ice sculpture and looked up bit by bit. The moment he saw the face, he froze in place and slowly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

 C103 Ice Statue

    That face was like Qiao Liangjin, vivid and lifelike.


    Besides being surprised, Qiao Liangjin was also moved. She turned her head to look at Su Qing Qing and said with a trembling voice, "You ¡­ You carved it? "


    Su Su Qing gently nodded her head. "Do you like it?"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head, took two deep breaths, sniffed and laughed: "I like it so much!" "What a great surprise!"


    Taking a closer look, there were actually tears on Qiao Liangjin''s face. His heart suddenly hurt a little, and he hugged her in pain, but since he gently scratched her nose, Qiao Liangjin smiled. She liked his small actions, and she knew that he was also a warm person.


    "Give me your life." He said these four words in a clear voice.


    Qiao Liangjin was silent for a moment. His fingers brushed across the ice-cold statue as he smiled: "Look, you aren''t speaking properly anymore."


    Qing Shui was not surprised at all by Qiao Liangjin''s reaction. He walked silently to Qiao Liangjin''s side, looked up at the statue with his hands behind his back and said softly, "I can wait."


    Qiao Liangjin pursed her lips. Following her clear gaze, she raised her head to look at her own statue. She didn''t want to clear her mind and actually covered her palm with it.


    Qiao Liangjin was waiting for him to say something, but he only pursed his lips and looked at the ice sculpture, not saying anything.


    Qiao Liangjin slightly sighed, "This ice sculpture is really pretty. It''s just that when the sky gets hot, it disappears like smoke. Seventh Prince, there''s some fate, you will be like this ice sculpture. Perhaps after a while, it will quietly melt away."


    "You are a human, not an ice sculpture." The clearing sound was very smooth.


    Qiao Liangjin wanted to break free from his grasp. Her clear palm was too warm. She knew that he could warm her hand, but she was unable to touch her heart ¡­ Of course, if he opened his heart, it would be different.


    She sighed and said, "When will I be able to warm you?"


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly smiled, his smile was like a flower. Under the moonlight, her jade-like face was burning brilliantly. Su Qing couldn''t help but raise her hand and gently caress Su Li''s face with her fingers.


    "Do you mind if I like so many people? "For example, there is the Peace Seal, there is Bai Wu, and perhaps that Nan Li ¡­" Qiao Liangjin''s voice was very calm.


    His finger stopped moving and he smiled bitterly, "You always like to ruin the scenery."


    Qiao Liangjin''s voice sounded slightly disappointed. "It seems that you mind."


    The corner of her lips curved up as she smiled and said, "I care about your beauty. How can they find out?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart warmed. His expression was frivolous, but he withdrew his hand and smiled. "Seventh Prince, we should go back. It''s still very cold. Thank you for bringing me here to see my ice sculpture."


    Just as he was about to pick her up, Qiao Liangjin gently pushed him away and asked with a sweet smile, "Why don''t you try to stand beside me and look at this night capital?"


    Her long and clear eyebrows slightly furrowed and then immediately stretched. She held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and gently dashed through the wilderness.


    Behind him, Lu Li had a bitter look on his face as he looked at the three tall ice sculptures. After Master finished carving, he had already thought of a way to put the ice sculptures into the freezer.


    Qiao Liangjin and Jianqing ran side by side in the wilderness, the cold, blade-like wind was blowing on her face, she could only feel the warmth of her palm, and slightly tilted her head to look at Jianqing. She knew in her heart that he had always been sending her inner strength to help her withstand the cold.


    Arriving above the Royal City, his hands tightened up as if he was worried that Qiao Liangjin would land in someone''s yard.


    The bustling brothels, the drunkards who had drunk and vomited, the waiters who were closing their doors, and a family of yellow lanterns, all of which were flickering in the cold wind.


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head and gave a slight smile. This was the imperial city where she lived. There was her, a cheap dad, a cheap bro, and also this quiet and quiet ¡­


    The smile on Qiao Liangjin''s face didn''t fade even when they reached the Golden Flower Pavilion. He stood next to the red coral and smiled, "Did you really leave such priceless items in the courtyard?"


    Qiao Liangjin pointed at the fake mountain in the yard and said, "Someone has been watching it all night, so of course I''ll put it here."


    Hearing this, Lu Bing, who was inside the fake mountain, tightened his clothes, hugged the furnace in his hands, and let out a long sigh.


    Su Qian held Qiao Liangjin''s hand all the way as he escorted her to the door. As he faced her, his fingers brushed away the long hair on her face and tied it behind her ears. Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow, causing Su Chen to suddenly have the urge to kiss her eyes.


    He tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart, and his voice unconsciously slowed down a lot as he said, "Go and rest." I''m going to the Southern Kingdom again, so you have to take care of yourself. No matter what happens, you have to protect yourself first. "


    After some thought, he added another three words, "For me."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyelashes slightly fluttered, but he still lowered his head and calmly said, "I will, I wish you every success."


    After clearing up the store, he left. When Qiao Liangjin heard his departure, he raised his head. Her cheeks were red. She then covered her face with her hands and rushed into the room. She then used her cold handkerchief to cover her face.


    Heavens, she, Qiao Liangjin, who had lived two lifetimes, would never be this shy. What was going on today, how could she blush like this?


    She took off her outer robe and lay down on her bed. It was already late into the night, and her hands and feet were cold. But her heart was burning hot.


    Qiao Liangjin stared blankly at the top of the bed curtain. She knew that she was resisting her heart, as her heart was beating faster and faster.


    He was destined not to be a person of this world, so why leave behind so many impossible hopes for people?


    He let his imagination run wild until the next day. Then, Qiao Liangjin wrapped himself in a blanket and fell into a deep sleep.


    In the days that followed, Qiao Liangjin did not go out. He stayed at home every day to watch Yu Sheng and Ling Xuan learn. He watched Qiao Xinting and Qiao Siyuan study together, helping Guo Caiting manage the affairs of the Residence of Prime Minister.


    Qiao Liangjin had pleaded with Qiao Zheng for a long time, releasing Qiao Yin from her ban. Afterwards, he went to persuade Qin Se, giving her a 10% higher allowance than usual. Qin Se was overwhelmed by this unexpected favor, repeatedly expressing that she would definitely listen to Qiao Liangjin''s words.


    Other than Qiao Liangjin, no one would go and convince Qiao Zheng. Ever since she came into contact with Qiao Liangjin, she knew that this woman was not as fat as she looked and that she had to make plans for her daughter''s life. Furthermore, Guo Caiting didn''t make things difficult for their Sound Pavilion. If she was willing to go along with the flow, why wouldn''t she do so?


    Within the Calming Heart Garden.


    Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes and pressed his finger on Guo Caiting''s pulse. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Guo Caiting, retracted his hand, and said, "Aunt, I presume you don''t need me to tell you, you should know your body''s condition."


    Guo Caiting smiled, "Eldest Miss, Caiting also understands medicine, my body ¡­ "I do not seek for anything else, but to be able to help Miss on the day of my death."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled noncommittally as he picked up the bowl of tea and took a sip. "Third Madame, you''ve carried this burden on your heart for so many years, so it''s only natural that your lifespan is short."


    Guo Caiting stared blankly for a moment, with a little confusion in her eyes, she asked, "Miss ¡­"


    "My mother died due to the plague. When she died that year, you were the only servant girl by her side. She brought you from her mother''s house, Third Madame ¡­" At this point, Qiao Liangjin took another sip of green tea. His eyes, however, shifted to Guo Caiting.


    Guo Caiting''s eyes were still a little blank. She looked at Qiao Liangjin in confusion, and asked in a somewhat hurried tone of voice, "Miss, could it be that your mother didn''t die that year due to the plague? What was going on? Back then, when I went to take care of her, the madame said that it was time sickness, and that she needed the imperial physician to take care of it. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s movements faltered. In the blink of an eye, the teacup in his hand shattered into pieces. The tea spilled over the table and over her skirt.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his hand and threw the fragment in his hand onto the table. He asked with a cold and calm voice: "You mean ¡­ When my mother passed away, the emperor asked the imperial physician to take care of her? Do you remember which imperial physician it was? "


    Guo Caiting lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and answered with certainty, "It''s an imperial physician called Dongfang Heng."


    Qiao Liangjin silently repeated the name, pushed aside the handkerchief that Guo Caiting had given her to wipe the tea off her skirt, stood up and left the Tranquil Heart Garden.


    When they arrived at the Flowergold Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin walked over to the fake mountain and used his foot to kick the fake mountain. A head popped out from the fake mountain and looked at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin looked up at Lu Bing who was in the fake mountain with his hands behind his back and asked, "You are not Lu Li. Who are you?"


    "Your subordinate''s name is Lu Bing. Greetings, Royal Concubine." Lu Bing did not finish his words and cupped his hands and bowed on the fake mountain.


    "I want to find an imperial physician called Dongfang Heng. Do you have any way of finding out?" Qiao Liangjin''s feet kicked the fake mountain over and over again.


    "This subordinate understands. This subordinate will investigate the information as soon as possible and deliver it to the wangfei." As Lu Xiao spoke, he took out a pen and paper.


    Qiao Liangjin also saw Lu Bing take out a white pigeon from the fake mountain, stuffed the paper into a small bamboo tube on the leg of the white pigeon, and sent the pigeon flying.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his hidden hand and wiped the tip of his nose. He then smiled and said, "Do you have a lot of white pigeons?"


    Lu Bing suddenly looked at Qiao Liangjin in alarm and shook his head. "Not much."


    Qiao Liangjin grinned. He then kicked the fake mountain and asked, "Really? Not many?"


    Lu Bing didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "Princess, you can just say what you want. You want to be a pigeon, don''t you?"


    Qiao Liangjin raised one of his hands and crooked his finger at Lu Bing. With an evil smile, he said, "Come down, I''ll tell you."


    Lu Bing could only smile wryly as he descended from the fake mountain and stood in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin walked in front of Lu Bing, looked at his chest, walked around him twice, and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, this skin bag is also not bad. Is your master''s guard one in a hundred?"


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s praise, Lu Bing immediately puffed out his chest and proudly said, "Of course. We have been selected since we were young. We have always been protecting the Seventh Marquis."

 C104 Maid

    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the rooms between Ah Bai and Ah Kuan and laughed, "Forget it, it''s freezing cold here in the fake mountain every day. Qiao Liangjin pointed to the rooms between Ah Bai and Ah Kuan and smiled and said," Forget it, it''s freezing cold here in the fake mountain every day.


    Lu Bing suddenly let out a light breath. Luckily, he wasn''t asking for his carrier pigeon. He nodded his head repeatedly, and then jumped up the fake mountain again, and threw all the things inside the mountain down onto the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin was flabbergasted as he stared at the pile of items on the ground. This fake mountain had really been hollowed out by the people of the Seventh Prince''s Estate. Everything was stuffed inside, no wonder these guys wouldn''t freeze to death in such cold weather. Those thick bear skin looked like it wanted to roll on it.


    Since there was a fox spirit at home, Qiao Liangjin basically rejected all the furs, fearing that it would cause a bad effect for Yu Sheng.


    When the maidservants heard the noise and Lu Bing had yet to finish digging through the fake mountain, Qiao Liangjin shook his head, clasped his hands together and sighed, "So there are plenty of talented people."


    After hearing Qiao Liangjin''s orders, Ah Kuan and Ah Bai placed a bed and bedding in their own rooms as if they were welcoming guests. Qiao Liangjin went in to take a look and sneered, "It really is the days of heaven."


    At night, Lu Bing, who had become a bodyguard of the Golden Flower Pavilion, brought over the news and passed the paper to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin took the letter and read it carefully. With a smile, he lit the letter and burned it to ashes.


    She had already thought about it this morning. That Dongfang Heng would either disappear or be killed, and if he wanted to hide a secret, the best way was to make him shut up forever. She still remembered the words she had said to Su Qingqing back in Shengcheng.


    Seeing the letter slowly falling to the ground, turning into ashes, Lu Bing asked with his hands cupped together, "What else can this subordinate do?"


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand, gesturing for him to leave and said in a calm voice, "Go back first. I need to think carefully about what to do next. Right, has the Seventh Prince left yet? Did the Southern Sudan follow? Where did Nangong live? Is it at Yu Linglong''s place? "


    Lu Bing smiled slyly as he lowered his head and replied seriously, "Your highness is leaving tomorrow morning. The Third Prince of the Southern Domain is also leaving with you. It''s said that the Third Prince of the Southern Domain has personally delivered Nangong to Princess Yu Linglong''s mansion."


    With that, he bowed respectfully and turned to leave Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    Qiao Liangjin''s fingers lightly knocked on the table, he looked at the smiling Pai Dai and asked: "Why are you laughing so happily?"


    "Miss, the more you use the Seventh Prince''s people, the smoother it becomes. Moreover, you are starting to care about the whereabouts of the Prince." Dai Di cleaned up the ashes on the floor while diligently cleaning the table.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly remembered that Qiao Ruoyin had not been here for a few days, and wondered how was Caihe in the yard. "Where''s Caihe?"


    Matte stopped what she was doing, thought for a while, and replied, "I heard that he was very honest in the young master''s yard, except that he didn''t know how to cook. He did everything else well."


    Qiao Liangjin recalled what he saw at the back door a few days ago and said with a smile, "Well, as long as you are honest, we will wait and see."


    There was a good saying," "Cao Cao Cao Cao Cao," "Qiao Liangjin had just mentioned Qiao Ruo Ying when Qiao Ruo Ying''s voice came from outside the door."


    Matte quickly opened the door. Qiao Ruo Ying angrily walked into the room and sat on a stool beside Qiao Linjin. She said in a huff, "About that ¡­ Cai He, where did you come from?"


    Qiao Liangjin gestured for Pink to go out and then smilingly poured Qiao Ruo Ying a cup of tea and asked: "What''s wrong? A few days ago, I didn''t even see your figure. I thought you already let Cai He be your concubine. "


    Qiao Ruo Ying was about to serve some tea when he heard this. He immediately slammed the teacup down on the table and angrily said, "Last night, I went out with General Wu''s son to drink. I was about to lie down and sleep, who knows ¡­ "Who knows ¡­"


    At this point, a trace of unknown red appeared on Qiao Ruo Ying''s white face.


    Qiao Liangjin understood in his heart. He smiled and said, "Who knew that Caihe was already sleeping on your bed?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying was startled and asked, "Could it be you ¡­" It was arranged? "


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head, he still gave a faint smile and said: "Caihe is not bad, at least I didn''t drug you. If she did, you would have married her now."


    Hearing this, Qiao Ruo Ying sucked in a breath of cold air and waved her hand: "Little sister please spare me. I do not want to be in the same courtyard with such a scheming person. I have enough servants. Please do not send me any women."


    "What do you think of that Spirit Jade?"


    "..." "Little sister."


    "Haha, big brother, you still miss Ling Yu, right?" Qiao Liangjin punctured the person in Jo Ruoying''s heart.


    Qiao Ruo Ying sighed. "Ai, little sister, take that Caihe away. I really don''t need a woman in my courtyard."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and smiled, "Big brother, I want you to accompany me in acting ¡­"


    After Qiao Ruo Ying left, Qiao Liangjin rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh. A clear and bright voice came from outside the door: "Can I come in now?"


    Qiao Liangjin was not surprised at all by this visit. Tomorrow, he would be setting off for the war. No matter what, he would definitely come.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and opened the door. He usually dressed in red but today, he was wearing a dark blue robe. However, this dark blue robe made his skin look even more jade-like.


    "We''ll be leaving the Royal City tomorrow." The moment he entered the door, he felt cold all over.


    "I know." I don''t need to remind you again. " Qiao Liangjin closed the door, blocking out the cold.


    "That''s why I wanted to come over and talk to you." She looked at Qiao Liangjin who was stretching his body and walking towards the beauty bed.


    Qiao Liangjin was lying on the beauty bed with a book in his hand. He pointed to a stool across from him and said, "Sit." I have something that I want to talk to you about. "


    "About Dongfang Heng ¡­"


    "Dongfang Heng ¡­"


    Both of them spoke the same name at the same time.


    However, he did not sit on the stool that Qiao Liangjin had only given him. Instead, he sat down beside the beauty bed and said, "Dongfang Heng suddenly disappeared last year. According to the students of the hospital, it was Great Sima that invited him out to admire the flowers, and then he accidentally fell off the cliff and disappeared."


    The book in Qiao Liangjin''s hands snapped together with a ''hualala''. Her long eyebrows slightly knitted together as she softly read: "Great Sima, it''s that Great Sima again ¡­"


    Su Qingqing smiled lightly and said, "Great Sima, Zhang Zhonghan is my royal brother''s most trusted official. He is also a chess piece that can balance your father in the court today."


    Qiao Liangjin''s finger lightly swept across the book, and he smiled: "Not long after my mother''s death, my chastity entered the door, so whose person is my chastity? What is her motive for keeping them with me? She raised me and my brother to be as stupid as a pig. "


    Hearing this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. "Stupid as a pig? If pigs are the same as you, then no one would ever call you a pig anymore. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes turned white and he yawned. "I''m very sleepy. These days, my mind has been full of things and I can''t sleep well. I was thinking of resting early. Look, you''re here again."


    "Don''t touch the Great Sima. If there is anything you need, wait for me to come back before you settle it, understand?" Yu Ling has been busy lately, so you have to be careful when you go out, okay? " Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked her hair.


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to be accustomed to this kind of caress. He only had a faint smile on his face as he gazed at Qing Shui. His fingertips were warm, and a faint fragrance lingered in her nose. She wondered if he was born with this fragrance even in his skin.


    Su Qing withdrew his finger and stood up. With a helpless tone, he said, "In a few more hours, I will be leaving. I believe that you will be able to take good care of yourself."


    Qiao Liangjin was still leaning on his beauty bed. He waved his hand and said, "Remember to close the door when you go out. I''ll be sleeping here soon. I''m too tired."


    Only when the door was closed did Qiao Liangjin put down the book in his hand and stare blankly at the big fire.


    A lot of clues were going around and around in her mind, but they turned into a ball of thread that she couldn''t figure out no matter how hard she tried.


    Qiao Liangjin simply closed his eyes, and before he slept for long, the door was knocked loudly. Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes, and as he listened to the noises outside, he saw the butler standing outside the door. The butler seemed to be in a hurry, "Quickly wake up the young miss, the eldest young master has killed someone."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly sat up. She put on her clothes and hurriedly left, asking: "What happened?"


    "Then... That Caihe is dead, and died in the room of the Young Master. The Young Master is incredibly strong now, and I don''t know what''s going on, but Young Miss, please go take a look. " The butler sounded exceptionally anxious.


    Qiao Liangjin''s pupils suddenly constricted. She hurriedly followed the butler to Qiao Ruo Ying''s courtyard. The butler also ignored everything and continued to lead the way. When they were halfway there, Qiao Liangjin suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    The housekeeper heard Qiao Liangjin''s footsteps and stopped. He turned his head and urged, "Miss, hurry and leave."


    Qiao Liangjin stopped his steps, pointed to the sky and said, "Butler, look, the Milky Way today is really beautiful."


    Butler looked up at the sky: "Miss, hurry up."


    Qiao Liangjin gently rubbed his toes on the ground and smiled: "Butler, do you know that my birthday is today?"


    The housekeeper didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to say this and was startled. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Today really isn''t a good birthday. Something big happened at the House of Prime Minister."


    As soon as he said that, Qiao Liangjin''s hand shot out like lightning towards the butler''s face. With a little strength on his fingers, he tore off the butler''s face.

 C105 Assassin Appearance

    Dai cried out and fell back into Bai''s arms. Bai supported her gently, wanting to help Qiao Liangjin.


    That butler retreated a few steps, one hand lightly touched the human skin mask that Qiao Liangjin had torn, and laughed: "So I heard that Qiao Liangjin is a stupid woman, but now it seems that she is not the same as the rumors."


    Qiao Liangjin had already stopped moving. Looking at his fingers, he smiled and said, "I really believed in you at first, but then I saw you walking around. You were too frivolous. When did the steward of the House of Prime ever have such a skill?"


    In the distance, he heard the sounds of guards rushing over. The fake butler chuckled and leapt onto the wall, saying in an ear-piercing voice, "We will meet again in the future, Qiao Liangjin. We will definitely meet again in the future." With that, he disappeared in a flash.


    Bai was about to go after him, but Qiao Liangjin stopped him. He said anxiously, "Come, let''s go to the Young Master."


    He rushed all the way to Qiao Ruo Ying''s courtyard and knocked on the door. There was no sound coming from the inside. Qiao Ling Jin lifted the corner of her skirt and kicked open the door, jogging into Qiao Ruo Ying''s room.


    Qiao Ruo Ying no longer had martial arts. Anyone who knew a little about martial arts could pose a threat to her. Qiao Liangjin was worried about her safety. It seemed that he was right.


    There was a pot of charcoal inside the room. It was burning silently. Qiao Liangjin opened the door and ordered someone to throw the charcoal out.


    This man was quite vicious. He ordered Qiao Ruoyin and Lotus to sleep together, covered them up, and set them on fire. He wanted to use carbon monoxide to poison Qiao Ruoyin to death.


    Qiao Liangjin opened the sleeping points of the two and sent Cai He to the room next door. Only then did he sit quietly to the side and wait for Qiao Ruo Ying to wake up.


    Qiao Zheng who had long since been woken up by the guards running around the courtyard rushed over to Qiao Ruoyin''s room. Seeing his own daughter sitting quietly at the side while Qiao Ruoyin slept on the bed, his heart panicked as he thought back to the time when Jingshu died.


    Qiao Liangjin was currently resting with his eyes closed when he heard the commotion at the door. When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Zheng leaning against the door, his usual calm demeanor had already disappeared.


    She supported Qiao Zheng to sit at the side and said in a small voice, "Brother was just poisoned. It''s fine."


    Qiao Zheng''s face paled as he asked, "Who poisoned him?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head, indicating that he did not know.


    Chastity''s voice came from outside the door again, followed by Guo Caiting, Qin Se, and Qiao Maoshan''s voices all appeared at the door one by one.


    Qiao Liangjin''s long eyebrows slowly knitted together. It was the middle of the night and everyone was here. Did they think that it was not big enough? She walked to the door angrily, opened it, and spoke with dissatisfaction in her voice, "Elders, this is the Prime Minister''s Mansion. Everyone is gathered here, how is it proper to cause such a ruckus?"


    Zhen Zhen Xing hurriedly went forward and asked with a compassionate expression, "What happened? Why are all the guards here? "


    Qiao Linjian''s face was expressionless as he asked, "Madame, you probably know this matter even better than I do."


    Zhen Yuxin did not expect Qiao Liangjin to say something like that. She was startled, but then frowned and asked: "What happened? Why should I? Jin''er, don''t spout nonsense ¡­ "


    "If you really are doing this for the sake of the prime minister, then please leave now. Madam, I''ll be troubling you." The more Qiao Liangjin looked at this gentle woman, the more he wanted to vomit.


    Chastity felt the deep enmity from Qiao Liangjin''s body and took two steps back. Looking inside the door, she discovered that Qiao Zheng had been sitting by the bed the entire time. He did not turn his head and could only turn to leave.


    Those who came with her, seeing her leave, had no reason to stay any longer, and left with her.


    Guo Caiting was about to turn around and leave when Qiao Liangjin called out to her. He waved his hand and said, "Third Aunt, you''re in charge right now, you have to stay."


    As she walked away, her chastity slightly trembled. She turned back to look at Qiao Liangjin who was waving at her from the door, then looked deeply at Guo Caiting who was entering, before turning around and leaving.


    Guo Caiting followed Qiao Liangjin through the door. Only then did she anxiously ask, "What happened?"


    "Someone wanted to kill my brother, and they even prepared to kill me together." Qiao Liangjin replied in an extremely low voice and turned to look at Qiao Zheng.


    Guo Caiting quickly held Qiao Liangjin up and down and looked him up and down, then asked, "What about you? Are you busy? "Are you hurt?"


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and smiled, "How could something happen to me? Auntie, it''s not like you don''t know what I''m capable of."


    Guo Caiting patted her chest, frowned and said in a low voice, "The atmosphere in this house is getting weirder and weirder. Jin''er, how is your brother?"


    "Nothing, she should wake up soon. That Cai He, Aunt will bring her back later. Her injuries should be quite heavy, I saw a needle on her neck." Qiao Liangjin was still talking to Guo Caiting in a low voice.


    Qiao Zheng turned his head and cleared his throat as he asked, "What are you all talking about?"


    Qiao Liangjin turned and walked to Qiao Zheng''s side. He knelt down and lightly knocked on Qiao Zheng''s knee. He smiled and said, "Father, it is already quite late. Big brother has nothing to do here. You should go back and rest."


    When Qiao Zheng heard this, he let out a long sigh and asked: "Why do I, Qiao Zheng, always have matters to attend to in my residence? Could it be that you must force me to return home as an official in order to avoid these matters?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s smile gradually disappeared as she smoothed her hair. Raising her gaze to Qiao Zheng''s face, she asked, "Father, do you think that once someone like you who has achieved great merits returns to his hometown, everything will be fine? I thought my dad had been in the government for so long that he could see through this sort of thing. "


    With these words, Qiao Zheng was rendered speechless. He helplessly stood up and allowed Guo Caiting to help him out of Qiao Ruo Ying''s room.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin sit to the side in relief. He looked at Qiao Ruoyin who was lying on the bed and sighed. He hadn''t learned how to give zhen qi to others, so he decided to give it a try this time.


    Qiao Liangjin pressed his palm against Qiao Ruo Ying''s wrist and closed his eyes. He quietly felt the pure true energy circulating within his body. She forced it to her palm and the true energy slowly entered her body from her palm.


    After a while, Qiao Ruo Ying groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Qiao Ling Jin retracted her true energy and looked at Qiao Ruo Ying with a smile.


    Qiao Ruo Ying opened her eyes and saw Qiao Liangjin sitting on the bed, smiling at her. He touched his forehead and said, "Aiya, this dream is so real."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and flicked Qiao Ruo Ying''s forehead and asked: "Does it hurt?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying felt a twinge of pain. She covered her forehead and sat up. Puzzled, she asked, "Why are you in my room?"


    "Someone wants to kill you and then kill me." Qiao Liangjin lightly smiled, showing that he didn''t care at all.


    Qiao Ruo Ying rubbed the back of her head and thought about what had happened before her. She then said with a bitter smile, "Ever since I lost my martial arts, my ability to react has been reduced to nothingness. Thank you, little sister."


    "What do you think of Caihe?" Qiao Liangjin asked.


    When Qiao Ruo Ying heard the name Caihe, her face sank and asked, "Why do you ask her?"


    The smile on Qiao Liangjin''s face was not affected by Qiao Ruo Ying''s words at all. She rubbed her fingers and replied: "I think she wants to save you."


    Jo was silent.


    Qiao Liangjin lazily stretched, stood up, and walked towards the door, saying, "Bai has been taking care of you here for the past few days. He''s a good martial artist by my side, and since you don''t like girls by your side, let him take care of you in the near future."


    Upon hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, Bai retreated to the side and bowed, "Yes, Miss."


    However, Qiao Ruo Ying shook her head in disagreement and said, "No, no, little sister, you need protection."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, pointed at his nose and asked: "Your sister is so strong, do you really think she needs someone to protect her?"


    Qiao Ruo Ying was speechless. It was not that he didn''t know the capabilities of his sister.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and left the room.


    Standing at the door, he took a deep breath of the morning chill. Qiao Liangjin''s heart became calmer and calmer. He had been attacked in every direction, so he had to remain calm.


    Pai Dai looked at Qiao Liangjin who was standing on the steps. This woman, only when she was alone would she take off her laughing and cursing appearance, becoming exceptionally cold and stern.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had been busy the whole night, had long forgotten about the matter of Su Qingyun leaving.


    It was as if he was waiting for someone. He waited until the third time in the south Sudan before he got on his horse and looked at the city gates deeply. He squeezed his horse hard and raised his whip, leaving the capital with his army.


    Qiao Liangjin slept until the afternoon before he woke up. When she had finished washing up and Zi Yan was brushing her long hair, he said, "Seventh Prince left early this morning. I heard that Seventh Prince was waiting at the door for a long time."


    How could she not know who he was waiting for? However, she did not want to send him off. She felt that sending someone she liked to the battlefield was unlucky.


    The television had been played many times. As long as someone sent her off, that person would not return. Therefore, she had always purposely avoided this scene of separation because she was afraid that this farewell would last forever.


    After cleaning up, Qiao Liangjin went to visit Qiao Ruoyin. She had already recovered, and was outside sparring with Bai.


    Qiao Liangjin leaned against a pillar and looked at the sweating Qiao Ruoying. He pointed at Bai and said, "Right, right, right. Your kick was right ¡­" Aiya, you can''t give up that punch just because he''s the eldest young master ¡­ "Aiyo, that kick was pretty good."


    Qiao Ruo Ying held her knees as she looked at Qiao Liangjin with a wry smile: "Whose little sister are you? Why do I feel like your elbow is always pointing outwards?"


    Qiao Liangjin said in a nonchalant manner, "You''re not a cripple, why should I help you? I won''t let others let you."

 C106 Censors

    With that, she turned around and walked out of Qiao Ruoyin''s room. She waved her hand and said, "I''m going to Tranquil Heart Garden to take a look at that lotus seed that is good for you."


    Qiao Ruo Ying, who originally wanted to ask Qiao Liangjin where she was going, immediately stopped herself from greeting him upon hearing his name.


    When Qiao Liangjin arrived at the Calm Heart Garden, that Caihe had already woken up. However, he was still lying in Ah Qing''s room with an unsightly expression on his face.


    Qiao Liangjin sat on the stool that Zi Yan brought over for him. His hand gently played with an amethyst bracelet as he silently watched Cai He''s face.


    Caihe was silent as well, as though she didn''t know what to say.


    Qiao Liangjin coughed and laughed, "Caihe, why did you save my brother?"


    Caihe seemed to have come to a sudden realization as she raised her head and asked, "Why do you ask this?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. "The scar on your neck must be because you didn''t want to obey, right? "Why are you helping my brother? Or rather, why aren''t you willing to help my brother even after I gave you the aphrodisiac at that time."


    Caihe''s pupils immediately dilated. She didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to even know about this. She suddenly became dazed and hurriedly got down from the bed and knelt in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    "Say it, I''m really curious." Qiao Liangjin was waiting for her to tell a story.


    After a moment of silence, Cai He replied, "This servant is a muse of the Great Sima family. The Great Sima told me that as long as I can get close to the young mistress and the eldest young master and think of a way to make the eldest young master disgraced, I will regain my freedom."


    Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes. He couldn''t believe it. Was this story really that simple? Why is there only one person appearing? What kind of person was this Great Sima? She felt that she should pay him a visit.


    It was just that the whereabouts of this Cai He was rather troublesome. If he were to release him now, his life and death would be in the hands of the Great Sima. Furthermore, he needed someone to testify against the Great Sima for the Prime Minister''s side.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and said emotionlessly, "You can stay in this courtyard. Don''t go to the eldest young master. If you want to live, then obediently stay here."


    Caihe was silent, but he used a heavy kowtow to agree to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin walked out of the door. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already overcast. Sighing, he thought that it was going to snow again.


    Inside the study room, Qiao Zheng was startled to hear that Qiao Liangjin wanted to go with him to visit the Great Sima. He asked, "Is there something wrong with the Great Sima?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and shook his head. "No, it''s just that I''ve always heard of the Great Sima. My daughter only met him once when she was young, and now she wants to pay a visit to the Great Sima." "Father, did you agree ¡­?"


    Qiao Zheng was unable to change Qiao Liangjin''s mind and could only ask the butler to send a letter saying that he would bring his daughter to visit the Residence in three days.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin let Qiao Zheng go as he left the study with a joyful expression.


    When he returned to the Flowergold Pavilion, he saw Qiao Ya walking around the entrance with Qiao Yue-er in tow. She counted the days and yet another month had passed. It seemed that Qiao Ya had suffered a lot after all.


    Walking over, he acted like a big sister as he smiled and said, "Why are the two little sisters here? It looks like it''s going to snow again. It''s very cold. "


    Qiao Yue''er coldly snorted and raised her head to look elsewhere.


    On the other hand, Qiao Ya was much more modest. She smiled and said, "Isn''t it the full moon again? I came to ask big sister for a cup of tea. I don''t know ¡­"


    "You''re so good, big sister is very happy. Come in and have tea with big sister." Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.


    In the courtyard, Qiao Xinting was engaged in a snowy battle with Josephine while the silver fox was darting between the two children like a bolt of lightning.


    When Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue''er saw that their younger brother was having fun here, their faces became gloomy.


    When Qiao Siyuan saw Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er enter, he smiled and waved at them. "Third sister, fourth sister, you''ve all come. Let''s have a snowball fight together."


    Qiao Yue-er coldly snorted and stood at the door. She pointed at Qiao Xinting and said, "That lowly servant''s daughter, not only does she want to study, she also wants to play with her, Siyuan."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he paused his steps and turned around. He smiled and said, "What, Yue Er, do you also want to accompany Ya''er in drinking tea?"


    Qiao Yue-er''s face turned pale. She was so frightened that she turned around and ran out of the restaurant.


    Qiao Xinting, who was originally smiling, felt a bit embarrassed when she heard this. She gently patted the snow on her body and said softly, "Siyuan, you can play. I''ll go back now."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled. "Xinting, why are you so concerned about what others say? Don''t live anymore, it''s so tiring to live on."


    Qiao Xinting was stunned.


    Qiao Ya didn''t care about who was in the yard or who wasn''t. Her bones started to ache and she wanted to drink that Immortal tea. She pulled Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve and gently shook it. "Big sister, I want to drink tea."


    Zi Yan had already brought a bowl of tea and passed it to Qiao Ya. Qiao Ya finished the tea in three gulps and wiped her mouth. She said, "Thank you, big sister. Third sister won''t bother you any longer." With that, he quickly left the Flowergold Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin walked up the stairs and stood in the long corridor. He looked at the dejected Qiao Xinting and the excited Qiao Siyuan. He pointed at the door and said, "Come in later. I want to talk to you guys."


    Qiao Liangjin took off his cloak and sat on a chair, waiting for the two kids to come in. She looked at Qiao Xinting, who seemed a little uneasy. Her long eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she asked, "Xinting, who is your father?"


    "It''s Qiao Zheng."


    "What does he do?"


    "He is the current Prime Minister of the Xuanyuan Kingdom."


    "So why are you feeling inferior?"


    "Because my mother ¡­" Qiao Xinting''s eyes began to turn red.


    Qiao Liangjin sneered, "If you can make a choice, would you especially wish that you were the direct daughter, not Guo Caiting''s daughter? Because as Guo Caiting''s daughter, if you want to be bullied, you have to give all the beautiful opportunities to the daughter of Chastity."


    Hearing this series of questions, Qiao Xinting''s eyes reddened and tears began to fall. She waved her hands with all her might and said, "No, no. Xin Ting loves mother. Xin Ting is willing to accompany mother forever."


    Qiao Liangjin let out a sigh when he heard this. He pulled Qiao Xinting into his arms and wiped away Qiao Xinting''s tears. He said softly, "People. When you are in this world, your parents cannot choose. Your life cannot be chosen. It can change."


    Qiao Xinting''s eyes were blurry as she looked at Qiao Liangjin''s face, nodding as if she understood something.


    On the other side, Qiao Siyuan nodded his head in approval and said, "Big Sis is right. I remember Big Sis once said that people and people are all passersby. Some people can walk together for a while, while some people can walk together for a longer time. But in the end, people still have to walk alone."


    Qiao Liangjin couldn''t help but laugh. This brat''s memory was really good. He only remembered the moment he casually mentioned it.


    There''s not much big sister can do, this house is also a small society, besides protecting yourselves from harm, what you need to do is to learn how to be stronger. Xin Ting, your mother''s medical skills are very good, you can learn it, you can even learn martial arts like big sister.


    Qiao Siyuan felt that he had been neglected. He raised his hand and said somewhat anxiously, "Big Sis, I want to learn martial arts as well. In the future, I want to become a swordsman from the four seas."


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Qiao Siyuan and thought deeply for a moment. He shook his head and said, "Four books, five scriptures, four books ¡­ you have to learn them all. In the future, I will depend on you."


    Joe Siyuan pouted and replied unhappily, "What about Big Bro? The eldest son of the family is the eldest son. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze turned slightly gloomy as he thought to himself, if it wasn''t for your mother delaying your big brother, when would it be your turn, brat? His mother''s fault was his mother''s fault, so Qiao Liangjin didn''t want to blame her for it. She waved her hand and told her mother to get close to him.


    Qiao Zhiyuan hopped over to Qiao Liangjin''s side. Only then did Qiao Liangjin pat her head and softly say, "You two are the two most promising children in the Prime Minister''s Estate. Cease your arrogance and don''t compete. Learn more. The Prime Minister''s Estate of the future really depends on you."


    Qiao Siyuan nodded as if he understood something. Qiao Xinting, on the other hand, was quietly leaning against Qiao Liangjin''s chest.


    Three days passed by quickly, and Qiao Liangjin was ready. She wanted to meet this Da Sima who had made a move on her in the Magnificent City and her own residence.


    On the carriage, Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Liangjin who had a normal expression and asked: "Jin''er, the Great Sima is a strict and strict person. Sometimes it is harsh, but look at you ¡­" "Today''s outfit."


    Qiao Liangjin turned around, his silver eyes, and his purple lips that seemed to be poisoned opened and closed as he asked: "Father, what''s wrong?"


    Qiao Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and waved his hand. "I''m fine, I''m fine."


    When they arrived at the Great Sima Manor, Qiao Liangjin didn''t even need anyone to support him as he jumped down from the carriage, causing the ground to shake slightly.


    The Great Sima, who was standing at the entrance, frowned slightly. He had long heard of Qiao Liangjin''s flower name. Seeing it from afar today, sure enough ¡­ Round and smooth.


    When Qiao Liangjin helped Qiao Zheng up the stairs and smiled at the big boss, the big boss, Zhang Zhonghan, almost staggered in fright. The young miss of the Qiao family''s attire was indeed frightening.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the old man who broke out in a cold sweat and smiled. "Greetings, Great Sima."


    Zhang Zhonghan waved his hands, trying his best not to let Qiao Liangjin see him. He said, "Come in."


    Qiao Liangjin opened the wine jug and put his nose close to it. He then laughed, "Hahaha, this wine tastes really good. It seems like the Seventh Marquis'' Mansion''s Pear Blossom was drunk. Big Sima, what wine is this?"


    Zhang Zhonghan''s face turned cold again. He was an old teacher, and normally, he wouldn''t allow a girl to show her face, let alone drink wine. He said impatiently, "This is cherry blossom wine from Nan Yang."


    Qiao Liangjin poured himself a glass of wine and tasted it before laughing, "So it really is the wine of foreign devils. So even Little Japan''s wine is here."


    After talking to herself, Qiao Liangjin''s words suddenly changed. He asked, "Great Sima, do you have a singer who sings very well? She has very fair skin and looks very weak, making people feel pity for her?"

 C107 Great Sima Prefecture

    Zhang Zhonghan was in the midst of drinking with Qiao Zheng and upon hearing this, he seemed to choke on his wine and coughed non-stop. Qiao Liangjin hurriedly stood up and walked over, heavily knocking on the old man''s back.


    Only when Zhang Zhonghan was on the verge of losing his breath did Qiao Liangjin finally stop his knocks and sit back down, grinning.


    Qiao Zheng reprimanded her: "Jin''er, don''t be so rude when you speak."


    After saying that, Qiao Liangjin turned to Zhang Zhonghan and apologized, "Please forgive me, Great Sima. My Jin''er is pure and honest. If there''s anything she wants to say, please forgive her."


    After being slapped by Qiao Liangjin a few times, Zhang Zhonghan was almost unable to breathe. He waved his hand and said, "Your daughter really has a strong palm strength."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand with a smile and shyly said, "Great Sima, don''t talk about choking like this. Even if you die, I can still save you with a few slaps."


    "Jin''er, stop messing around!" Qiao Zheng''s tone turned serious.


    Qiao Liangjin stuck out his tongue, then said with a mischievous smile, "Big Sima, my brother isn''t good at women, but I''m a man, you can send me some male whores or ducks, I''m very happy to be bought by you."


    Zhang Zhonghan''s face turned green and white after hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words. He changed colors several times at the same time, making Qiao Liangjin feel very good.


    Not long after eating the wine, Zhang Zhonghan held onto his chest and said that he was not feeling well. Qiao Zheng could only leave with Qiao Liangjin.


    After getting on the carriage, Qiao Liangjin took the handkerchief and slowly wiped away the makeup on his face. He then quietly pondered about Zhang Zhonghan''s actions.


    Qiao Zheng suddenly sighed and said: "Jin''er, what do you think is wrong with this Zhang Zhonghan?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook her head. If she wasn''t sure about something, she wouldn''t easily come to a conclusion.


    Qiao Zheng suddenly knocked on Qiao Liangjin''s forehead and complained, "You were too much of a prankster just now. If something were to happen to Great Sima Zhang Zhonghan, you would not be able to shirk your responsibility."


    Qiao Zheng''s hand suddenly pressed down on Qiao Zheng''s head as he said with a slightly hurried voice, "Be careful!"


    Just as he finished speaking, an arrow flew past Qiao Zheng''s scalp and Qiao Liangjin grabbed the arrow.


    Qiao Zheng raised his head to look at the arrow in Qiao Liangjin''s hand and hurriedly said, "What happened?"


    Qiao Liang pushed Qiao Zheng''s head down and said softly, "Father, lie down. I''ll go take a look."


    He then pulled up the curtain and said to the coachman, "Don''t stop the carriage."


    With a tap of his feet, his fat body flew past the roof of the carriage like a swallow and headed in the direction of the arrow.


    Just as he reached the place, he saw Lu Bing grabbing onto a person''s collar and throwing him onto the ground. He shook his head and said, "He''s dead. It''s a dead servant."


    Qiao Liangjin pulled up that person''s hair, and carefully looked at the face of the servant, and said: "How should we deal with this corpse?"


    "This is how we should deal with it in the past." As Lu Xiao spoke, he took out a whistle from his sleeve and blew on it.


    Qiao Liangjin''s mind suddenly flashed with his impression of the five men he killed in the alley. She suddenly asked, "Previously, I killed five men in the alley. Did you deal with them?"


    Lu Xiao scratched his head and smiled. "Princess''s methods are really clean and nimble. This Subordinate is very impressed."


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart suddenly started beating fiercely. So it was really him. He was helping him clean up everything so that he wouldn''t have to worry about the future.


    Lu Bing looked at Qiao Liangjin''s slightly disappointed expression and asked, "What happened to the wangfei?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly and left after nodding his head. He ran towards the carriage.


    After getting on the carriage, he opened the door and saw that Qiao Zheng was still sprawled on the carriage. He could not help but laugh. "Alright, Father, everything is fine. I am alone and dead."


    Qiao Zheng was helped to sit up by Qiao Liangjin. He looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked in puzzlement: "Jin''er, when did you learn martial arts?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled. She had long since prepared herself for this and knew that sooner or later, she would not be able to hide it from Qiao Zheng.


    "When I was young, my mother asked someone to teach me martial arts. After I fell into the water, someone kept chanting some incantation to me while I was unconscious. I woke up to practice according to that incantation, but I didn''t expect my results to be twice the result."


    Qiao Zheng stared dumbfoundedly at Qiao Liangjin, who was spouting nonsense. He gave a bitter laugh and could only pretend to believe his daughter. Since he knew it was nonsense, why did he need to know the truth?


    Pulling open a corner of the curtain and looking out into the night, Qiao Zheng asked again: "Who is it?" You want to kill someone? "


    Qiao Liangjin held the body of the black arrow and shook his head. "No, he doesn''t want to kill people. He''s probably warning us that if we want to kill people, he won''t be the only one. Today, we''ll probably become hedgehogs."


    Qiao Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this as his finger lightly tapped the side of the carriage. He smiled bitterly and said: "Bailing to return home may be the last way to protect us."


    Qiao Liangjin patted the back of Qiao Zheng''s hand and said nothing more.


    After returning to the Flower Glow Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin threw the black arrow on the table and asked, "Do any of you know where this arrow came from?"


    Ah Bai shook his head. Lu Bing grabbed the body of the arrow and looked at it carefully. He leaned against the candle flame and scrutinized it again. He pointed to the end of the arrow and said, "Princess, there''s a mark of a plum blossom here."


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and asked, "Plum Blossom?" Following the direction that Lu C was pointing at, they saw a sprouting plum flower at a certain angle.


    "Which family likes the plum blossoms?"


    Lu Li shook his head.


    Qiao Liangjin could only wave his hand and signal them to leave.


    When Yu Sheng returned with his Spirit Swirl, he saw Qiao Liangjin staring blankly at a pitch-black arrow. He then went over to the arrow and asked, "What is this?"


    Just as he finished his sentence, the arrow flashed with light. Yu Sheng let out an "Ah!" and threw the arrow to the side. He said angrily, "What is that thing?"


    He opened his palm. There was a wound on it, as if it was scalded.


    Qiao Liangjin picked up the arrow. Strangely, no matter how she grabbed it, there was no problem.


    She got a little curious and brought the arrow closer to Yu Sheng. Immediately, the arrow flashed a weak red light.


    Qiao Liangjin''s brows suddenly relaxed as he laughed, "So this is a Magic Shattering Arrow!"


    Then he frowned and said, "This person is too unkind. He actually thinks I''m a monster! My attire is just weird. No matter how I look at it, it''s a beauty that doesn''t look like a monster! "


    Yu Sheng''s palms were scalded. Spirit Swirls gently blew on them and asked in a soft voice, "Does it still hurt?"


    Qiao Liangjin placed the arrow carefully beside his pillow and smiled at Yu Sheng. "I''m not afraid of any more demons or devils in the future. So these arrows are actually this good."


    Yu Sheng pouted angrily and said, "If not for the fact that I was injured and my mana ran out, how could this tiny arrow have hurt me?"


    From Qiao Liangjin''s room came the sound of a man and a fox laughing and cursing.


    Lu Bing sat at the table and wrote down everything that had happened today. Ah Bai went over and asked, "Big Brother Lu, what are you writing?"


    "By order of the Seventh Prince, write down all the daily matters of the wangfei''s life for His Highness."


    After he finished writing, he stuffed the letter into the bamboo tube, tied it to the feet of the white pigeon and released it.


    A''Bai looked in the direction the pigeons had flown and sighed. "Prince, it''s so hard on you!"


    "Don''t you think I''m more bitter?" Lu Bing said with a bitter face.


    The days passed peacefully as they continued to move forward.


    Qiao Yin''s visit came as a surprise to Qiao Liangjin. Originally, he thought that this woman wouldn''t come knocking at all, but he didn''t expect her to bring two identical jade steps to the Flower Lamp Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin''s principle was to not hit people with smiles. When he came, she invited him in.


    Qiao Yin opened the box as soon as he entered, revealing two identical steps as he smiled and said, "Elder Sister, I saw Bu Huang a few days ago on the street. He''s a pair. You and I are sisters, what do you think?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the shaking step in the box, shook his head and refused: "No, little sister, everything is the same, it''s easy for others to misunderstand, if you kill someone and put this shaking step on the spot, then I will be the scapegoat. This kind of thing, we have to take precautions."


    Qiao Yin''s expression froze as the smile on her face turned somewhat awkward. She awkwardly put away the box.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the sky outside and said, "It''s almost the new year, and I heard that every year on the fifteenth day of the first month, you will enter the palace to accompany the empress dowager for the Lantern Festival. Little sister, I''ll get my concubine to send you some cloth, I hope you can marry a noble of the palace."


    Qiao Yin felt that she was being twisted no matter how she heard of it. She waved her hand and said, "No, normally we already have a lot of subsidies. If you ask us to do this on purpose, others will think that ¡­"


    "Then why?"


    "It''s nothing, it''s nothing. Elder sister, since you don''t like this Bu Huang, then I will bring him back." Qiao Yin felt that there was no point in staying here any longer, so he picked up the box and prepared to leave.


    Qiao Liangjin did not try to keep her. It was originally a fake sisterhood, so why pretend to be reluctant to part with her?


    Yuesheng rolled over on the beauty bed and asked, "Why don''t you take that step?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn''t understand."


    In her previous life, she had watched quite a few palace televisions where the female lead had been framed. Others held the same thing and accused her of it. She knew this kind of thing too well, so it was better not to take on this kind of action.


    Just as they were bickering with each other, Ruo Lan came in with an envelope and said with a smile, "A letter from the Seventh Prince to the young mistress."


    Qiao Liangjin''s heartbeat suddenly sped up. She feigned nonchalance on the surface as she opened the envelope and slowly pulled out the letter: "You look like you''re looking for someone. After hearing that you''ve been assassinated, I''ve already sent people to investigate. Everything is fine, don''t worry."


    Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up into a smile. "Don''t think about me. Who cares about you, it''s beautiful."


    On the second letter, there was another line of words: You will definitely say that in your dreams, who will miss you?


    Qiao Liangjin could not help but laugh out loud. This person was truly interesting. He was trying to figure out the thoughts of others.


    Yu Sheng sat by the side and could not read a few words. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, wondering what was written on the letter. At that moment, he suddenly felt that knowing a word was a wonderful thing!

 C108 See Words like Face

    After reading the five pieces of paper, Qiao Liangjin''s heart was filled with warmth even though there were only a few sentences on each piece of paper. This was something she could not ignore.


    She had always thought that Ning Xuemo was the best choice for her. It was only after a long journey that she realized what she cared about. Clearing her head was the person that was firmly rooted in her heart.


    Even though she had some sort of unspeakable wariness towards him, she still couldn''t help but sink into it.


    This heart that was approaching in full fury caused her to be unable to catch her breath. She put the letter away, one by one, into her pillow and laid it on top of the other.


    Forget it, it''s fine as long as I don''t admit it on the surface. Whatever I''m thinking, I can''t just say it out loud. Qiao Liangjin patted his stomach and closed his eyes as he thought about that bright red figure.


    In the middle of the night, Qiao Liangjin turned his head and focused his gaze. Only then did he realize that it was Yu Sheng who was staring at him. She turned around and patted the little fox''s head as she said in a daze, "Hurry up and sleep, I''m so sleepy. Stop messing around."


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, no, it should be the little fox''s eyes were shining and its lips were pursed upwards. In order to meet her, he had drunk a mouthful of Soul Tea. As long as he could accompany him for a while, he would be satisfied.


    He gently cupped his hands around Qiao Liangjin''s head and leaned against her ear, breathing in the sweet scent of her body. At this moment, his heart was at peace.


    When dawn arrived, it left the little fox''s body without a sound and returned to the battlefield.


    However, his slightly exhausted mental state made the guards beside him all indicate that he should rest more.


    When Qiao Liangjin woke up, he discovered that Yuesheng was sleeping close to her. He could not help but push him towards the bed and said unhappily, "Why does this little fox like sleeping close to people? Is it hot? Should we throw it out next time?"


    After Yu Sheng was pushed awake, he let out a dissatisfied whimper before finding a comfortable spot in the bed. He curled up into a ball once again and fell asleep.


    Qiao Liangjin stealthily pulled out the letter and carefully looked at it. The corner of his mouth quietly formed a outline. She had never seen a love letter before, so it was probably something called a love letter.


    She was like a little girl as she stuck the letter to her chest. She wanted to use her warm body to warm up every word on the letter, but she had no idea how much of a daughter she was acting right now.


    Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already approaching the Spring Festival.


    The ladies in the mansion had already begun to make themselves into court costumes. Every year, they would enter the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to guess the riddles of the lanterns and arrange a good marriage for themselves. It had already become the custom of the nobles of the imperial city.


    Guo Caiting was especially considerate as she gave extra silver taels to the Sound Pavilion, letting Qin Se''s attitude towards Guo Caiting get better and better. As for her chastity, she was now quietly serving by the old mistress'' side without saying much. Overall, she was still a matriarch who knew the general gist of what was going on.


    Qiao Liangjin did a set of yoga and slowly breathed in the chilly air. Her figure became more and more graceful. Her well-developed figure was completely invisible.


    After putting on the cloak, Qiao Lianjin raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky. The weather gradually became warmer, but he didn''t know how long he would have to stay in the Southern Kingdom for.


    Qiao Liangjin always felt flustered in her heart these days. Perhaps it was because her days were so ordinary and without any ripples, but instead, it made her feel anxious and uneasy.


    Guo Caiqing had A Qing carry a few pieces of cloth to the Flower Glow Pavilion. While she was making gestures with the flowers on Qiao Liangjin''s body, Qiao Liangjin was fiddling with the cloth without the slightest interest, listening to Guo Caiting''s suggestions.


    Guo Caiting, on the other hand, didn''t mind Qiao Liangjin''s fat body at all. She draped the pink or red cloth over her body without stopping, praising, "Look, this color, how nice it looks against your skin, why not this one?"


    Qiao Liangjin was completely oblivious to these colors, allowing Guo Caiting to fiddle with his clothes while carrying in several plates of jewelry. Guo Caiting placed the jewelry on Qiao Liangjin''s body and said with a smile, "Look, this purple gold hairpin looks really nice. That purple jade on top is also rare."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the jewelry on the table, pointed at the pink hairpin and earrings, and said, "Give this to Xinting, she''s grown up and needs some pretty jewelry."


    Qiao Xinting, who was standing to the side, watched enviously as Guo Caiting dressed Qiao Liangjin up. She didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to give her a set of jewelry, and happily jumped up from her stool. Suddenly, she realized that she had lost control of herself, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and smiled, saying, "Thank you elder sister."


    Guo Caiting quickly hit Qiao Xinting on the back of her hand and waved her hand, "No, Xinting."


    Qiao Xinting immediately retracted her hand and lowered her head to look at the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed lightly. She didn''t want to ask why. If she did, Guo Caiting would be the difference between a concubine and a direct descendant.


    Picking up the earring on the plate, he gently placed it on Qiao Xinting''s ear. He looked at it carefully and laughed, "Xin Ting is a beauty, this earring really suits her. Aunt, Xin Ting is my sister. I should take care of her. "


    Guo Caiting''s eyes suddenly softened as she smiled, "Fine, since Eldest Miss insisted on giving it, Xin Ting, thank you Big Sis."


    Qiao Xinting thanked her obediently. Qiao Siyuan, who was standing off to the side, could not help but say, "You women just like these fancy things. It''s so annoying. Xinting, let''s go play with that little fox in the yard. How about it?"


    Yu Sheng, a little fox who had just set foot into the room, paused in his tracks, a bitter expression on his face. Yu Sheng, a little fox who had just set foot into the room, stopped in his tracks, a bitter face on his face.


    Qiao Liangjin almost laughed out loud when he saw that Qiao Yifan was holding the little fox who had a resentful look in his eyes. She really liked seeing the little fox lose.


    Guo Caiting put down the jewelry in her hands and sat in front of Qiao Liangjin. She sized up Qiao Liangjin''s face with an extremely gentle and motherly gaze.


    Qiao Liangjin, who had never felt much maternal love before, felt a little embarrassed after being stared at by Guo Caiting. He rubbed his face and asked, "Aunt, what''s on my face?"


    "You''ve grown up. After the new year, you should be seventeen years old and should be married off. Aunt wants to know, which family''s Young Master do you like?"


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he was overjoyed. "Me? I like to clear up, I like Ning imprint, and I like Bai Wu. I want to marry all three of them."


    "¡­" Guo Caiting felt like she was talking like a chicken or duck.


    "You''re a girl ¡­" Guo Caiting tried to explain the situation to Qiao Liangjin.


    "Who made the rule that a woman could not have many husbands? They all fit to be my husbands, the difference between the main room and the side room. " Qiao Liangjin put his hands on his cheeks and began daydreaming.


    After Guo Caiting left, Qiao Liangjin put away his infatuated look. Leaning against the pillar by the door, his gaze unconsciously shifted to the south. She was thinking, it''s been a long time since I last received a letter.


    On the other side, Lu Li, who had taken over from Lu Bing, looked up at Qiao Liangjin and wrote on the paper: "Princess will look towards the south every day. Subordinate thinks that Princess is missing Seventh Prince." But I still have to remind Seventh Prince that Prince Ning is also in the Southern Kingdom. Who exactly is she thinking about?


    Lu Li thought of the look on his face when he read the letter and the calm tone in which he had been told to go to the Sword Crafting Villa. However, he felt it was better to warn his master.


    When she entered the restaurant, she saw that the table was filled with jewelry. Her eyes immediately turned malevolent as she thought about how she and Yue Er would have been the first to pick out all of the jewelry when her mother was in charge.


    Qiao Liangjin glanced sideways at Qiao Ya. Seeing the fierce glint in her eyes, his slender fingers lightly brushed the jewelry on the table. He smiled and asked, "What''s wrong, Ya Er?"


    Qiao Ya immediately retracted her gaze and respectfully said, "Elder sister, I am here to drink some tea."


    Qiao Liangjin picked up one of the golden hairpins and smiled, "Ziyan, look at this golden hairpin, is it very suitable for you? It just so happens that your name has Zi in it. "


    Violet smoke was ironing Qiao Liangjin''s clothes on a small stack of clothes beside the screen. Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, she turned her head and saw the purple jade golden hairpin in her hand. She smiled and said, "Miss, you must be joking. How could this servant wear such a precious thing?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s words carried a message as he said, "Of course you can wear it. I don''t like these jewelry, I''ll give all three of you a share."


    Hearing this, Qiao Ya was stunned. Anger rose in her heart. She suddenly stood up and pointed to the jewelry on the table. "Big sister, these jewelry are all expensive. How can you give them to lowly servants?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked coldly at Qiao Ya, the heat in his smile instantly evaporated. "Lowly? I don''t understand. Ya Er, how come they are so despicable? "No matter how lowly you are, how can I be as lowly as you?"


    Qiao Ya still wanted to say a few more words, but upon recalling that she was here to solve the problem, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. She whispered, "What big sister said was ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin had prepared himself for a verbal battle but she didn''t expect that Qiao Ya''s words would change so much that she would become so submissive. She couldn''t help but laugh and say: "Qiao Ya, you are indeed an intelligent woman with your mother''s style. "Alright, since you''re so sensible, let me give you a set of jewelry."


    After saying that, he grabbed a pearl hairpin and earrings from the plate and placed them on another empty plate before pushing them in front of Qiao Ya.


    Qiao Ya''s little face immediately turned red. She still remembered that Chong Yuxin had repeatedly reminded her that she must endure. She grinned, thanking him with a fake smile. "Thank you elder sister."


    Qiao Liangjin propped himself up with his chin as he waved his hand and said: "We are all sisters, there is no need to be polite."


    Qiao Yue''er was playing with the parrot in her room. When she saw Qiao Ya return with the plate, she threw away the grass in her hand and went over to ask, "Big sister, what is this?"

 C109 Auscultation

    Qiao Ya tossed the plate heavily on the beauty bed. She sat down angrily at the side and said sinisterly, "One day, as long as I have the chance, I will make that bitch Qiao Liangjin unable to live, unable to die."


    Qiao Yue''er looked at the pearls on the plate and asked, "Pearls?" Elder sister, why are you so angry when you came back from the Golden Flower Pavilion? What did that bitch do? "


    Qiao Ya shot a glance at the pearls that Qiao Yue-er was fiddling with, her eyes ice-cold. She knew that Qiao Yue-er was impulsive and brainless. If she was told what she had said just now, she would definitely run to the Golden Flower Pavilion and cause a ruckus.


    Qiao Ya slightly shook her head, the corners of her mouth pulled up into a smile. "It''s nothing. If you like it, then take it. "


    Qiao Yue-er''s eyes lit up. She grabbed the jewelry and compared it with her own earlobes, then stuck the pearl hairpin into her hair and ran over to look at it in the mirror. Then, she giggled and said, "This pearl is perfect for my silver dress. Thank you elder sister."


    After saying that, she even coyly wrapped her arms around Qiao Ya''s arm. She smiled and said, "I knew that elder sister was the best. Many thanks elder sister."


    Only then did Qiao Ya retract her thoughts. She forced out a smile and stroked Qiao Yueru''s hair before asking in a small voice, "Little sister, that Qiao Xinting is now a frequent customer of the Golden Flower Pavilion."


    Qiao Yue-er''s face turned cold when she heard this. She hated Qiao Liangjin, and she also hated everyone who approached her. She let go of Qiao Ya''s arm and tilted her head as she asked, "Big sister, what do you plan to do? "Last time, Qiao Liangjin designed himself to fall into the ice water, but our father sent our mother and us to the monastery."


    Qiao Ya pursed her lips into a smile. Lifting her finger, she pointed outside and said, "Recently, I heard that there is a new brothel that has been opened on the other side of the street ¡­" "You said you threw Qiao Xinting over ¡­"


    Qiao Xinting, who was playing around with the little fox in the Flowermoney Pavilion, suddenly felt a chill on her back. When she turned around, she saw that there was nothing behind her.


    Qiao Xinting shook her head and said with a smile, "Let''s put on this little fox''s skirt. I made this last night."


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, was looking at the sky with grief, looking like he had nothing to live for. He was a male, a male fox!


    After Qiao Liangjin sent Qiao Xinting and Qiao Siyuan off, he changed into a black cotton robe, tied up his long hair, and called out to them to climb over the wall to the chrysanthemum restaurant.


    It had been a long time since he last saw Bai Wu. When Qiao Liangjin saw Bai Wu again, he discovered that his face had turned even paler. Qiao Liangjin could not help but press down on his pulse.


    His pulse was stable, even stronger than normal people''s. Qiao Liangjin was a little confused as he looked at Bai Wuqing''s indifferent eyes and asked curiously, "What''s going on?" Your pulse looks even better than mine. Why do you look so pale? "


    The corner of Bai Wu''s lips curled up slightly and he sighed. "Miss Qiao, I have already said that this was carried in the womb and there is no cure."


    Saying that, he retracted his hand and got up to play, but Qiao Liangjin was holding onto his wrist, Bai Wu looked down at his wrist that was as warm as jade.


    Qiao Liangjin tugged on his arm and laughed: "I don''t want to play the zither today. Every time I hear you play the zither, I feel relaxed and happy. However, I feel that after listening to you play the zither, your face will turn paler. I still don''t want it. "


    Bai Wuqing sat down, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Bai Wuqing can only do this kind of thing."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and loosened his grip on Bai Wu''s wrist. In that instant, she could clearly see the sense of loss in Bai Wu''s eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his wine glass and laughed, "Every time I want to drink, I can only come here. Bai Wu, I''m going to build a peaceful house, are you willing to go?"


    Bai Wu smiled and picked up a piece of fish. He placed it carefully into Qiao Liangjin''s bowl and said, "This was found in the mortal world. I cooked it. Have a taste."


    Qiao Liangjin took a small sip and immediately started to eat the fish in large mouthfuls. He couldn''t stop praising it, "This fish is so delicious, so it turns out that you actually know how to cook."


    "What does the Peace Residence do?"


    "An inn will become the biggest inn in the entire kingdom. I''ve already been preparing for four months and will soon be ready for operation. I need someone to take care of it for me."


    Bai Wu''s chopsticks didn''t stop at all as he picked up the fish bones and placed the meat into Qiao Liangjin''s bowl. Qiao Liangjin saw that the pair of hands were busy and she suddenly had an illusion. She raised her head to look at Bai Wu''s face which was as white as snow and blurted out, "Clear ¡­"


    Bai Wuzhi paused for a second, his snow-white face lifted up, and smiled at Qiao Liangjin: "What''s wrong? Remember the Seventh Prince? "


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt that he had lost his composure. He lowered his head in embarrassment and continued to eat the fish in his bowl without saying a word.


    Bai Wu''s heart suddenly throbbed with pain. She remembered him so deeply ¡­ He could not stay with her for a long time. If she was on high alert, it would be good to have someone to stay with her.


    Bai Wu continued to pick at his fish bone and asked, "Then where is the Xiang He Residence? What does it look like? May I see it? "


    Qiao Liangjin put his chopsticks down on the table, pulled Bai Wu Chen''s sleeve and got up. He wiped his mouth with his other sleeve and said with a smile: "That''s fine, it''s better to pick the day than the day. Let''s go now."


    Bai Wu looked outside. It was already getting late, so he nodded, "Alright, let''s go now."


    Qiao Liangjin pushed open the window. A cold wind blew towards them, causing Qiao Liangjin to shrink his neck. It was almost the Spring Festival, and the weather was getting warmer. It was only daytime, but it was still very cold at night.


    He turned his head to look at Bai Wu''s white brocade robe and asked, "Are you cold?"


    Bai Wu pointed at the door and asked, "Why do you always prefer to go out through the window and not go in?"


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to be stumped by the question. He gave an embarrassed smile and scratched his ear as he replied, "Habit ¡­"


    Bai Wu was speechless. Of course, he knew that Qiao Liangjin did not hide anything from her. With a faint smile, his jade-like fingers gently caressed the side of her head, gently tying her hair behind her ear.


    He did it so skillfully, as if he had experienced it many times. It made Qiao Liangjin suddenly remember that night when he was lying on the beauty bed, his clean fingers were also so gentle.


    Noticing his absent-mindedness, Qiao Liangjin pulled Bai Wu and asked, "Do you have any martial arts? That day at the Fragrant Sky Tower, did you use any martial arts?"


    Bai Wu shook his head.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed, holding Bai Wuyi''s waist and said: "Okay, then I will bring you along with me to fly."


    His arm went around Bai Wuyi''s waist and pulled him up. Qiao Liangjin sighed in his heart. How did this Creator make such a beautiful man? This Bai Wu-Shuang''s waist was just so delicate. There was not a single strand of fat on his waist. He had been training for a long time before he had this kind of figure.


    Bai Wu asked softly, "Can we go now?"


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin come back to his senses, and he laughed out loud: "The smell on your body is really good, I almost lost my mind, now let''s go."


    With a light leap, he flipped out of the window and stepped on the cold air in the night as he headed east and arrived in front of a tall building.


    After putting down Bai Wu, Qiao Liangjin was surprised by Bai Wu''s weight. How could a man be so light?


    Bai Wu raised his head and looked at the three story tall building, and asked, "Is this the ''Peace Court''?"


    Qiao Liangjin, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the brightly lit building and nodded, "That''s right, the interior is still being renovated. Let''s go in."


    Pushing the door open and entering, he saw Ah Kuan holding a pen and paper, writing something down. Seeing Qiao Liangjin come in, Ah Kuan quickly came over and greeted him, "Master."


    "I''ll bring Bai Wuwu upstairs to take a look, you can get busy first, don''t work too hard, it''s good that we can start business after the Spring Festival." Qiao Liangjin looked at Ah Kuan in admiration. This Ah Kuan always did things more stably than Bai.


    With that, he led Bai Chao downstairs. Qiao Lianjin pushed open a door, pointed inside and smiled, "Go in and take a look."


    Bai Wu stepped into the room. The entire room was extremely bright, almost to the point of dazzling. Bai Wu Yi looked at Qiao Liangjin in surprise.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the mirror on the rooftop and said, "I found some craftsmen and made some mirrors according to the way I told you. All they needed was a candle to let all the light in the room refract, and this room lit up a lot."


    After saying that, he pushed open a small door. Inside were a washbasin, toilet and a bathtub.


    Qiao Liangjin proudly introduced, "Look, I''ve thought of a way to make water. As long as you open the cage, there will be water. Oh, this bath barrel, you can directly drain the water. It will save you time and effort."


    Bai Wu was lost. Her words were too profound and he could not understand them. He could only follow her and admire all the furnishings in the room.


    He suddenly wanted to know where she had gotten all these ideas and ideas from.


    Qiao Liangjin proudly introduced all the creations. When he saw Bai Wuyu''s confused look, he could not help but laugh, "Bai Wu, this is the first time I''ve seen you so lost, am I really that talented?"


    The corner of Bai Wuya''s lips curled up as he nodded. He admired this woman from the bottom of his heart. In this dynasty, her ability was unrivalled.


    He brought Bai Mo Chen up to the third floor and all the way to the last room. Qiao Liangjin smiled mysteriously, "Guess what this room looks like?"


    Bai Wuyi blankly shook his head. He was already shocked by her. What kind of strange things would appear in this room? He could no longer imagine it.


    Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and lit up a fire piston. He walked up to the table and lit a candle. In an instant, the entire room lit up.


    The room was unique, with only white and black, white tables, black floors, black tables, and white sheets.


    Bai Wu Chen''s eyes were somewhat astonished and touched.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Bai Wu Chen''s eyes and waved his hand with a smile, "You are the owner of this inn, you should have your own room, with clear black and white colors. Isn''t that what you are like?"


    Bai Wu slowly stepped into the room. He was afraid that if he entered, he would ruin the entire atmosphere of the room.

 C110 White Achalasia

    Qiao Liangjin was a little anxious and went forward to pull Bai Wu into the room. He turned his head and smiled, "What''s wrong, are you touched? If you are truly moved, then why don''t you repay me with your own body? " After saying that, he even winked slyly.


    Bai Wu smiled faintly, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Miss Qiao, I ¡­" "I owe you too much."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand as he pushed Bai Wu onto the stool. He continued to introduce everything in the house, even the screens. Qiao Liangjin arranged everything according to his own thoughts.


    Bai Wu smiled as he looked at Qiao Liangjin''s pouting mouth. She was so passionate and considerate, like a newlyweds who were blabbering on and on about everything to their husband.


    As he thought of this, Bai Wu''s smile became wider and wider. Suddenly, he felt an intense pain in his chest. His face instantly turned even paler as he clutched his chest.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was introducing the use of the lamp beside the bed, turned around and saw Bai Wu covering his chest with his hand. With a face dripping with sweat, he rushed over and knelt in front of Bai Wu''s body. He used one hand to caress Bai Wu''s chest as he asked anxiously: "What''s wrong with you?"


    Bai Wu closed his eyes and did his best to take a deep breath. Finally, he managed to stabilize his heartache and raised his sleeves in an attempt to wipe the sweat off his face. Only then did he realize that he was no longer able to lift his sleeves.


    Qiao Liangjin knew what he was going to do, so he stood up and used his handkerchief to lightly wipe the sweat off Bai Wu''s forehead. He moved the stool over and sat opposite Bai Wu, both hands on his knees, and asked: "Bai Wu, what''s going on with your body?"


    Bai Wuliang''s eyes were wide open as he looked at Qiao Liangjin. He tried his best to smile, but he couldn''t even muster the strength to do so.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and helped Bai Wu out of the bed. He walked over to the bed and asked him to lie down flat on the bed, covered himself with the blanket and said in a low voice: "Bai Wu, how about this, I''m really worried, I really hope you won''t hide anything from me."


    Bai Wuwen stretched out a hand from the blanket and gently placed it on Qiao Liangjin''s hand. He patted it to indicate that Qiao Liangjin was relieved and lightly smiled: "I''m fine. Sorry for making you worry."


    Hearing him say this, Qiao Liangjin knew that he would not say it. He could only give up and settle him down. He went downstairs and had Ah Kuan bring hot water and hot tea.


    After a few hours, Bai Wu-Shuang finally calmed down and got off the bed. Qiao Liangjin confirmed repeatedly that he could leave, and then he brought him back to the chrysanthemum garden.


    Qiao Liangjin no longer planned to bring Bai Wuqing with him as he supported him into the night sky of the Royal City.


    It was already late at night, and there were only a few people on the street. There were only a few drunkards at the entrance of an unknown alley, constantly vomiting.


    Qiao Liangjin supported Bai Wu''s arm as they slowly walked towards the chrysanthemum hall. The two of them remained silent. The moon slowly rose behind them. Qiao Liangjin was at a loss for words. "Bai Wu, the moonlight tonight is really good."


    "Yes."


    "Bai Wu, are you better?"


    "Much better."


    "Bai Wu ¡­"


    "Can I call you Jin`er?" Bai Wu suddenly asked.


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned. "Ah? You''re calling me Jin`er? Not bad! "Welcome!"


    One was tall and the other was short. He really wanted to agree to what she said about promising him with his body, but he knew this woman too well.


    From the distance came the shrill scream of a woman. Qiao Liangjin paused his steps and said: "This sound sounds very familiar!"


    Just as he finished speaking, he heard another scream, "Help! Who''s going to help me ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin let go of Bai Wu''s arm and his face immediately turned stern: "Bai Wu, wait for me here. I am Qiao Xinting over there."


    Bai Wu Chen nodded his head, indicating that he was fine. He then looked at Qiao Liangjin who was running towards the direction of the scream.


    Qiao Liangjin hurriedly ran to the location of the sound. Under the moonlight, she saw Qiao Xinting being pulled by two big men, one on the left and the other behind, towards the direction of the street.


    Qiao Xinting kept on crying as the two men tried their best to cover her mouth with their hands. With a wave of her hand, she ruthlessly bit down on her lips.


    The black-clothed man was bitten and furiously slapped Qiao Xinting''s face. Half of her face instantly turned red and swollen.


    Another gray-robed man stopped him and said, "Don''t hit me, don''t hit me. This little face is so pretty. If you break it, it won''t be worth much."


    Qiao Liangjin landed gently in front of the three of them and coughed lightly.


    The two men were shocked by the sudden cough. They looked up and saw a thin man standing not far away. The man in black cursed, "Where did this fool come from? Coughing in the middle of the night? You scared me to death."


    The grey robed man continued to pull Qiao Xinting''s arm and pulled out a piece of rag. He stuffed it into Qiao Xinting''s mouth and said, "My daughter eloped with someone else. Didn''t she find it with great difficulty? Take it back now to teach."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and walked step by step in front of the three people. He asked with a smile: "Who did this little girl elope with? How about you elope with me? "


    Qiao Xinting''s eyes were blurry from crying and her body was like a pile of mud. It was as if two burly men had dragged her all the way here and she did not have the mood to see who the person in front of her was. She could only shake her head with all her might, wanting this person to save her.


    The man in black pushed Qiao Liangjin''s arm and said angrily: "Don''t you understand that a good dog doesn''t block the way? This is a matter of our family, what are you doing standing here? "


    Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose and laughed coldly: "Hahahaha, about your family''s matter? Which onion are you? You actually dare to push me? "


    When the man in black heard Qiao Liangjin''s words, he became even angrier. He slapped Qiao Liangjin and said, "Not only did I push you away, I even want to hit you ¡­"


    In just a split-second, before that palm could land on Qiao Liangjin''s face, he could hear the man in black howling like a pig being slaughtered.


    The grey robed man blinked his eyes. He did not manage to see what had happened. The instant he closed his eyes and opened them, why was the man in black lying on the ground, clutching his right arm, wailing?


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the rolling man in black and shook his head, "Scum, negative battle power."


    When the grey robed man heard this, his face immediately turned pale. Knowing that he had met an expert, he quickly let go of Qiao Xinting, who had lost her footing, and sat down on the ground. With a trembling hand, she took out the rag in her mouth and cried mournfully: "Please save me, Great Hero."


    The grey robed man knelt on the ground and kowtowed immediately. "We were also asked by someone else to do this. We implore Hero to let us two brothers go."


    Qiao Liangjin walked in front of the grey robed man and used his toes to lift the grey robed man''s chin. He sneered and said: "Who?"


    The grey robed man stuttered as he pondered. In the next second, he heard the grey robed man''s screams. A thin sword had appeared in Qiao Liangjin''s hand, which had already pierced through the grey robed man''s shoulder blade.


    Qiao Liangjin squatted in front of the grey robed man and asked with a smile: "I''ll ask you one last time, who asked you to capture this woman?"


    "Xiang Fu ¡­" Xiang Fu ¡­ Fourth Miss ¡­ "He gave us three hundred silver taels ¡­" The grey-clothed man covered his wound with a head full of sweat, nearly fainting on the spot.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and stepped on the shoulder of the grey robed man. He slowly pulled out his thin sword and listened to the sound of the sword brushing against his bones as it slowly pulled it out.


    Qiao Liangjin drew his sword and walked in front of the man in black. He squatted down and looked at his fractured right arm and shook his head. "I still don''t have enough strength. I was going to break your arm."


    As he finished speaking, he stomped heavily on the spot where the fracture had been. The man in black rolled his eyes and fainted.


    Qiao Xinting was frightened by the scream and retreated until she reached the wall. She trembled as she looked at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up. He wanted to check on Qiao Xinting''s condition, but Qiao Xinting screamed out instead. Her eyes rolled back as she fainted against the wall.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and looked at Qiao Xinting who had fainted while leaning on the wall. He then looked at Bai Wu who was propping up the wall, and helplessly shouted: "What are you looking at? Why aren''t you coming out to help? It was one thing if they couldn''t get out of the fight ¡­ I can''t handle two people by myself. "


    A figure jumped down from the wall and saluted Qiao Liangjin respectfully before walking towards Bai Wu. Just as he was about to support Bai Wu, he was lightly pushed back and said: "I can walk by myself."


    Qiao Liangjin smiled as he looked at Bai Wu dressed in white. He pointed at Qiao Xinting and said: "Carry Miss Qiao and follow me. After we send Bai Wu back, we''ll return to the Prime Minister''s Estate."


    Lu Li looked at Bai Wu Chen, who seemed to dislike him, and then looked down at Qiao Xinting, who was leaning against the wall. Lu Li sighed and carried Qiao Xin Ting on his back.


    Qiao Liangjin supported Bai Wu and slowly walked to the chrysanthemum restaurant.


    Qiao Liangjin thought that this name that he had come up with was too vulgar. If someone else came over and heard this name, they would probably burst out laughing. This won''t do. He had to change his name to something that was shared by the common folk. Suddenly, he remembered that Bai Wu Yi was about to leave the Ju Hua Hall and was going to live in peace. Forget it, he won''t change it.


    As he walked, Bai Wu suddenly asked softly, "Your guard beside you ¡­" It''s probably the Seventh Prince. "


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned and blurted out, "Ah? "Right."


    Bai Wu smiled lightly and said, "That''s great."


    "The good things that we, the Seventh Marquis, have done for our wangfei, can''t be said for three days and three nights. Back then, in order to go to Shengcheng to help the wangfei, he even left things behind and ran back and forth. The Emperor thought that the Prince had gone missing again and almost turned the whole kingdom upside down."


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks and looked at Lu Li, who was pasting gold on his master''s face, and said, "You talk too much."

 C111 Xinting Is Mad

    Lu Li was choked by Qiao Liangjin''s words. He smiled and muttered, "Isn''t this all for your own good ¡­" I was afraid you might be blinded. "


    By now, Qiao Liangjin had already heard everything and heard Lu Li''s words. He turned around and sneered, "Do you believe that I will tell your master about your words?"


    Lu Li immediately shut up. He had been following Qiao Liangjin for the past few days, so he was well aware of her character and character.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the chrysanthemum restaurant, An Ge happened to see off the last customer. Seeing three people, he walked up to them in surprise. "When did you leave? Why didn''t I notice?"


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the window on the second floor and blinked. He helped Bai Wuyu into the house and turned to Lu Li, who was about to enter, and said, "Xin Ting shouldn''t be here. Wait for us at the door for a while, I''ll send Bai Wufei upstairs later."


    Lu Li had no choice but to withdraw his leg that had just stepped into the hall and stand in the darkness.


    Qiao Liangjin supported Bai Wu''s pale face as they walked towards the stairs. An Ge then noticed that Bai Wu''s expression was extremely ugly. He asked in surprise, "What''s going on?"


    Bai Wu waved his hand and forced a smile, saying softly, "No problem."


    The door to the second floor opened with a "Hua La" sound. A red figure flashed and went downstairs. She pushed Qiao Liangjin aside and glared at him viciously.


    The little fox, Yuesheng, who was obediently lying on Bai Wu''s body, seemed to be irritated by Hong Chen''s actions. With a fox fire on her little claw, she grabbed onto Hong Chen''s neck. Hong Chen was caught off guard and was given a good scratch.


    "Yu Sheng!"


    "Red Dust!"


    Qiao Liangjin and Bai Wuyi called for a person and a fox to stop simultaneously.


    Red Dust raised his hand and gently caressed the deep wound on his neck. The claw with fox fire still had some power, but from Qiao Liangjin''s perspective, that wound didn''t seem to be bleeding at all.


    Qiao Liangjin walked up a few steps and held the little fox in his arms. He took out a small bottle of ointment from his sleeve and threw it to Hong Chen. Hong Chen grabbed the bottle and asked with a cold smile, "What is this?"


    "This is medicine ointment, you should apply it. It''s still more or less useful. After all, people like you who rely on your appearance still value your appearance a lot." Qiao Liangjin was originally unhappy with the hostility in the mortal world. Unknowingly, his words also carried thorns in them.


    Just as Hong Chen was about to retort, she was pulled back by Bai Wu Chen. "Hong Chen, help me back."


    Qiao Liangjin watched Bai Wuchen and the rest disappear up the stairs before turning around with a sigh and said to An Ge, "If you want to see a doctor tomorrow, you can buy all the precious herbs you need. If you don''t have enough silver taels, just tell me. You should get an early rest as well.


    An Ge nodded and sent Qiao Liangjin out the door, then closed the shop.


    Looking at the extinguished candles in the hall, Qiao Liangjin suddenly sighed. Looking at Lu Li who had been waiting for her, he waved his hand and said, "Let''s go. We can''t find Xin Ting over there. The Prime Minister''s residence must be looking for her now."


    Carrying Qiao Xinting on his back, Lu Li followed Qiao Lianjin to the Residence of Prime Minister.


    Halfway there, Lu Li suddenly said, "Princess, I still think it''s better not to tell that Miss Qiao was kidnapped."


    "Why?"


    "Shame on her reputation. In the future, she will be in a difficult position." Lu Li explained.


    Qiao Liangjin was silent for a moment before he smiled, "That''s true, you''re right. How about this: I''ll bring her back to my Flowing Gold Flower Pavilion later. You go to Peace Heart Garden and tell my Third Madame that she can be at ease. Xin Ting will be staying here tonight."


    "Yes."


    As she brought Qiao Xinting back to the Flowergolden Pavilion, the three maids who were dozing off frantically supported her onto the beauty bed. Ruo Lan looked at Qiao Xinting, whose face was covered with dried tears, and asked, "Third Madam had An Qing come over to check on the Fifth Miss just now."


    Qiao Liangjin sat quietly at the side, holding an amethyst bracelet in his hand. Looking at the unconscious Qiao Xinting, a faint sense of displeasure rose in his heart.


    After a while, Lu Li knocked on the door and said, "Princess, you have told the Third Madam that you will be here soon."


    Qiao Liangjin acknowledged and fell silent.


    After saying that, Lu Li quietly left.


    Zi Yan brought a basin of water and washed the handkerchief. She gently wiped Qiao Xinting''s face. Her originally innocent and cute face gradually became clean. However, there was a red and swollen palm print on the left side of her face.


    When Zi Yan saw the palm print, she said in surprise, "Ah, who hit him? How could he be so ruthless?"


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth twitched. "I broke his bones with my bare feet."


    Zi Yan slowly prepared to untie Qiao Xinting''s belt, but she didn''t expect the little girl to suddenly open her eyes. She leaned against the wall in fright, covering her chest and shaking her head with all her might. "Don''t, don''t ¡­"


    Zi Yan was shocked by Qiao Xinting and wanted to go comfort her, but Qiao Xinting viciously grabbed her. There were a few wounds on the back of her hand.


    Qiao Liangjin knew that Qiao Xinting was frightened. He stood up and walked over to the beauty bed and looked at Qiao Xinting who was shivering against the wall. He had never felt so gentle as he said, "Xinting, I''m big sister."


    Qiao Xinting was slightly startled, but her eyes became unfocused again. She shook her head and covered her eyes. Her body was still trembling as she kept mumbling, "Let me go ¡­" "Let me go ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the originally smaller and skinnier body that was now curled up into a ball. He felt an inexplicable fire burning in his heart.


    She tried her best to suppress her anger, but her voice was still gentle, "Xin Ting, look, I''m here. Big Sis will help you take revenge in a while. What kind of insult did you receive, big sis will come back a hundred times, a thousand times over."


    Qiao Xinting, on the other hand, had her body curled up, so that Qiao Liangjin''s words could not be heard.


    Guo Caiting arrived at the Flower Luck Pavilion. The moment she entered the door, she saw Qiao Xinting curled up into a ball, leaning against the wall while trembling. Her legs gave way and she was supported by Ruo Lan beside her.


    Guo Caiting''s voice was a little shaky as she asked, "Ting Er ¡­ "Ting Er, she ¡­"


    Ruo Lan supported Guo Caiting over to the beauty bed and said, "Miss, you saved me in time." "It''s nothing, I was probably scared."


    Guo Caiting knelt on one knee beside the beauty bed, stretched out her arms, and gently said to Qiao Xinting, "Ting Er, it''s mother ¡­"


    Sure enough, when Qiao Xinting heard Guo Caiting''s voice, she paused for a moment. With tears in her eyes, she looked in Guo Caiting''s direction.


    Qiao Liangjin''s nose turned sour as he turned his head away. This kind of scene was something she could not bear to see. She would think of her parents, think of her childhood, and think of too many things that had happened before.


    Guo Caiting lightly reached out her arm and easily pulled Qiao Xinting into her embrace. She slowly patted Qiao Xinting''s back and comforted her, "Be good and don''t be afraid. Everything''s over. Everything''s fine now."


    Qiao Xinting had indeed calmed down a lot, but the crying was getting louder and louder.


    Qiao Liangjin silently thought to himself, "Cry, cry. It''s good that you cried out. Growing up in this kind of family, you have to learn how to be strong and protect yourself."


    After who knows how long had passed, Qiao Xinting finally cried herself to death and fell into a deep sleep in Guo Caiting''s arms.


    With the help of Ruo Lan and Zi Yan, Guo Caiting placed Qiao Xinting on the beauty bed. After covering her with a blanket, she sat down at the table.


    Ruo Lan had already brought the supper and placed it in front of the two of them. She said in a soft voice, "You''ve been tormenting yourself for half the night. Have some supper."


    Guo Caiting shook her head, pushed her bowl to the side and sighed. She turned her head to look at Qiao Xinting on the bed and said, "Eldest Miss ¡­ Xin Ting has given you trouble again. "


    Qiao Liangjin smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "How can there be so much trouble? It''s actually you, Aunt, who has been through so much to come back and see your daughter get hurt. You ¡­" Do you regret it? "


    Guo Caiting turned back to look at her daughter with a faint smile, "To be injured one after the other, it can only be said that Ting Er is too inexperienced. No matter how well I protect her, if she marries, she will die at her maiden home sooner or later."


    Qiao Liangjin froze for a moment. She didn''t expect Guo Caiting to say something like that, and it could be said that she had put in a lot of effort. However, she still didn''t understand and asked, "If I didn''t go out today, and met Xin Ting ¡­ What should you do? "


    Guo Caiting''s hand, which was placed on the table, suddenly shrunk. She was silent for a few minutes and then suddenly let out a bitter laugh, "Then we''ll think of a way to find her and kill her."


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned. He opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.


    Yes, this was ancient times. This was a feudal society where a woman was sold to a brothel. It was the shame of a family. Especially the shame of the Prime Minister''s residence.


    Qiao Liangjin lightly patted the back of Guo Caiting''s hand and consoled her, "Everything is if, don''t worry. If you keep on saying two or three times, then Xin Ting will definitely learn how to survive safely in the Prime Minister''s Estate. With me here, nothing will happen to Xin Ting, but... I have something that I need Third Madame''s help with. "


    After saying all of this, Guo Caiting seemed a little exhausted. She lifted her head with difficulty and asked, "What is it?"


    By the time Qiao Liangjin and Guo Caiting had finished discussing their matters, the sky was already starting to brighten. Qiao Liangjin stood up, stretched a little and said, "Third Aunt can go back and rest, I''m here."


    Guo Caiting looked at Qiao Xinting, who was sitting on the beautiful bed, with some worry, before leaving.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Xinting''s slightly trembling eyelashes and knew that she must be dreaming. The things in the dream must not be so pleasant.


    She silently sat beside Qiao Xinting and placed a hand on her arm. Then, she patted it gently. Indeed, Qiao Liangjin''s pat caused Qiao Xinting''s eyelashes to stop moving.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and took off his outer clothes. He then lay down beside Qiao Xinting. This was the second time that she shared a bed with someone else. The last time was in Sheng Cheng City with Ling Yu.


    She knew how difficult it was for Qiao Xinting to endure that night. She had also experienced such a terrifying night before, but the hug she needed back then had never appeared. She felt indescribably sad. After that night, she had become so tough and strong.

 C112 Accompanying the Play

    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were still closed, and he hadn''t rested for long when he heard someone talking loudly outside.


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he smiled. It was the two sisters again. Very good, she could watch the show now.


    After getting up and putting on a cloak, she wrapped her body tightly and pushed open the door. She saw Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er standing at the entrance, looking at her room.


    Qiao Liangjin yawned. He did not bother to hide his sleepiness as he asked: "Is there anything?"


    Qiao Yue-er quickly answered before Qiao Ya could. "Fifth Sister is gone!"


    Qiao Liangjin was startled and then he laughed, "How is that possible? Fifth sister is so obedient and doesn''t like going out. How could she disappear?"


    Qiao Ya coldly laughed and said, "Who knows which family''s man she might fall for and elope with her."


    Qiao Yue-er also nodded and said, "That''s right, that''s right. It''s not certain that we have a relationship with a servant or guard. He might have been kidnapped or sold to a brothel ¡­ "Aiya, the five sisters'' lives really aren''t good."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard these words, he smiled. This Qiao Yue-er was truly stupid to the point that she could do such a thing.


    Qiao Ya lightly tugged Qiao Yue-er''s sleeve and lightly shook her head. Afterward, she put on an anxious expression and asked, "I wonder if big sister saw Fifth Sister? "I saw that Third Madame was already crying herself unconscious."


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and said, "Such a big matter should be reported to an official. I''ll head over to Tranquil Heart Garden now. Ah Kuan, go to the Prefecture Overseer''s place and report this. Tell them that our Fifth Miss has gone missing. "


    When Qiao Yue-er heard that she was going to report the case, her face paled and she quickly said, "Elder sister ¡­"


    Afraid that Qiao Yue''er would say something stupid, Qiao Ya hastily interrupted her and said, "Big sister, father is an official too. Father is also the Prime Minister. "Besides, if something really happens to little sister, how will dad get a foothold in the imperial court in the future?"


    These words were so beautiful that Qiao Liangjin couldn''t help but clap in his heart. What a good daughter, what a considerate daughter. All of this was for the face of the prime minister, all of this was for the face of the master.


    Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That''s true, sister is right. It''s elder sister''s fault, we didn''t consider these things. Let''s do it this way, I''ll go back and change my clothes, and then we''ll go to the Tranquil Heart Garden to have a look. "


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and gave a cold laugh. She really couldn''t wait to see what kind of big show the Sisters would put on, and then to see how it would end.


    After changing into a new set of clothes, Qiao Liangjin led Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er directly to Tranquil Heart Garden. Upon entering, they saw Ah Qing''s swollen eyes and her lips moved slightly when she saw Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand to indicate that he understood and walked over to the bedside. At this time, Guo Caiting was leaning against the headboard, looking at Qiao Liangjin with a hopeless look.


    Qiao Liangjin sat down and sighed. He said, "Aunt, I will do my best to find Xin Ting. Don''t worry."


    Guo Caiting nodded, raising the handkerchief again and wiping the corners of her eyes. Then, he said hoarsely, "Xin Ting has lived in the manor since she was young. She has never seen the world. Someone must have tricked her. If she wants to ransom ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin continued, "Whatever he wants and what we want, it''s fine as long as Fifth Sister is fine."


    Qiao Yue''er indifferently stood at the side and said, "If I were to sell it to a brothel, it would be a waste ¡­"


    Hearing this, Guo Caiting''s eyes reddened, and she started crying again.


    Qiao Liangjin gave Qiao Yue-er a fierce glare, patting Guo Caiting''s back as he consoled her in a low voice.


    Not long after, Qiao Zheng and Chong Yuxin''s voices sounded from outside the door.


    Once inside, Qiao Zheng looked at Guo Caiting and asked in dissatisfaction, "What''s going on?"


    At the side, Chastity Heart did not miss an opportunity to say, "Master, don''t speak so loudly. Ol ''Three is feeling sad right now."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Zheng and asked with a frown, "Father, why have you only just arrived? Third Madame is about to die from sadness. I''ll tell the officials and my younger sisters say that we can''t report this. Sigh, I really have no idea."


    Zhen Zhen Xing heard Qiao Lianjin''s words and hurried forward to advise: "We are the dignified prime minister, how can we report to the officials? If we can''t find her the day after tomorrow, we can secretly ask the capital''s Prefecture Overseer to help us find her. "


    Qiao Zheng heard her words and also felt that it was reasonable. He nodded his head and agreed: "Alright then, let the servants look around first. Perhaps this little girl has had a good time and is sleeping somewhere else."


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth raised slightly. He immediately cast it away and said with a bitter face, "If one day, it was my daughter who lost her, how can father be so calm and not report this matter to the government?"


    Qiao Zheng was startled when Zhen Zhen Xin took over and smiled. "Jin''er, you are extremely intelligent. How could you lose her?"


    On the other side, Qiao Yue-er said, "At most, you will lose face."


    Qiao Zheng''s expression immediately darkened.


    Qiao Liangjin shot a glance at Qiao Yue-er and stuck out his tongue, making a shearing motion and scaring Qiao Yue-er into lowering her head.


    Qiao Ya softly said, "Fifth Sister has been lost. No matter what, if we leave the Prime Minister''s house and lose all of our reputation, it will be difficult for us to get married in the future. How will we be able to save our face in the future ¡­?" The news of the fifth young miss'' disappearance must not be spread out from this manor. "


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Ya in front of him. If he were to say that she was a complete black woman, then he would not allow Qiao Xinting to return to the residence. Or perhaps, he would hint to Qiao Zheng that he should deal with her in the dark. She even suspected that if Qiao Xinting had really been spoiled, would Qiao Zheng really do this.


    Qiao Zheng knitted his eyebrows and looked at Guo Caiting who was sobbing on the bed, as well as his own daughter. He stared at himself with a thoughtful expression, then waved his hand and said: "Let us go find her first. No matter what, she is still my, Qiao Zheng''s daughter. We''ll find her first."


    These words made Qiao Xinting''s heart warm up slightly. Luckily, he did not let her down and did not give up on Qiao Xinting.


    After settling down Guo Caiting, Qiao Liangjin led a few people out. Qiao Zheng led a group of people to the main hall.


    When they arrived at the hall, Qiao Maoshan and Lin Fangli looked as if they had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qiao Zheng''s group enter, Qiao Maoshan hurriedly went over and asked: "What''s the matter?" What''s wrong? Had someone at home lost it? Did Xin Ting elope with him? I''ve already said it before, that little girl looks like a fox. "


    Lin Fangli spat on the side, and said with an angry look, "So you''re saying that he''s almost fourteen years old, right? Then we can set up the husband''s house, and look at this, in the future, if anyone dares to take it, it''s better if we have a son. A son would only ruin his girl."


    As they were talking, the two of them started laughing as if they were taking advantage of something.


    Qiao Liangjin could not hold it in any longer and walked up to the two of them. Qiao Maoshan seemed to remember Qiao Liangjin furiously slapping his son before taking two steps back and anxiously asking, "What are you doing?"


    Qiao Liangjin pointed his finger at Qiao Maoshan''s shoulder and said: "Oh big spider!"


    Qiao Maoshan looked in the direction Qiao Liangjin was pointing and immediately panicked. He didn''t know when, but he saw a massive black spider lying on his shoulder.


    His legs gave way and he didn''t even dare to move his hands closer to his shoulders. A man sitting on the ground cried out, "Help ¡­" This winter... "Where did this spider come from ¡­"


    Lin Fangli was even more terrified. She could only point at the spider and scream, but she didn''t dare to move forward to catch it.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and saw Yu Sheng, who had transformed into a human form, yawning on the beam of the room. He blinked a few times.


    Qiao Liangjin walked over and gently picked up the spider. He placed it in his hand, and the big spider crawled around in his palm.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, "It''s really weird, we can''t see these things in the winter, it''s really strange. To actually be able to see them today, does this mean that even the heavens can''t bear to see what you just said, Second Uncle?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes focused on Qiao Maoshan who was kneeling on the ground. Unexpectedly, there were some water stains on him, and she hid to the side in disgust. Covering her nose, she said: "Second Uncle, there are so many juniors here, yet you actually wet your pants ¡­"


    Qiao Maoshan was scared out of his wits by the giant spider, he had no time to care about his reputation. With great difficulty, Lin Fanli helped him up and left the hall in a hurry, leaving behind a puddle of liquid on the ground.


    Qiao Zheng looked at the unknown liquid and frowned. He then called for the servant to wash the floor.


    Qiao Liangjin stroked the spider in his hand as he smilingly extended his hand in front of Qiao Ya. "Little sister, are you afraid?"


    Qiao Ya took a few steps back in disgust. She nodded and said, "Big Sis, it has such a terrifying appearance."


    Qiao Liangjin acted like he was holding a treasure and said: "Nonsense, do you know? In the biological world, the bigger you are, the less dangerous you are. You''ll have to be careful of the smaller ones. "


    Qiao Yue-er looked at the head of the large spider that seemed to have countless eyes staring at her, and felt as if she was about to vomit. She covered her mouth and rushed out of the hall with a wave of her hand.


    At this time, Qiao Zheng could not be bothered with his eldest daughter''s pranks as he sat in the armchair, his finger lightly touching the armrest of the chair.


    Chastity glared at Qiao Lianjin in disgust, but Qiao Liangjin didn''t buy her. At the same time, he gave her a look and waved back.


    Qiao Liangjin kept the spider like it was a treasure. He turned around and looked at Qiao Zheng, "Father, do you think little sister will be able to find it? Do we know who was the last to see her? Father, could someone kidnap her? "


    Just as Qiao Zheng was about to speak, the voice of a chaste servant girl came through the door. "Oh no, this servant has found out where the Fifth Miss is."

 C113 Play

    Zhen Yuxin was originally sitting on a chair next to Qiao Zheng when she heard the water lotus''s voice. She stood up and sternly rebuked, "Water lotus, don''t speak carelessly."


    After the water was poured into the hall, Fu Dai said with a bit of grievance, "This servant just heard that the brat at the east gate also disappeared. It seems like Miss He went out the back door one after the other ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to be watching a good show as he calmly sat on the chair. While picking his fingernails, he asked: "Who told you that?"


    The water lotus paused, rolled its eyes, and replied, "It was the one at the back door, Old Zhang, who made some changes last night. He said that he saw Fifth Miss go out in the evening yesterday, and that she usually goes to get medicine for her mother ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin clicked his tongue twice and said to Qiao Zheng, "Father, look, our Prime Minister''s Residence is really lacking people. The matter of seizing medicine is something that only the young miss of our Residence would do."


    How could Qiao Zheng not understand the hidden meaning behind Qiao Lianjin''s words? His thick eyebrows creased even tighter.


    Zhen Yuxin was a woman who had seen much of the world, and lightly smiled as she said, "Our family is currently managed by Cai Ting."


    Qiao Liangjin couldn''t hold back and wanted to applaud, so she clapped and laughed: "Madam is right, Madame is mighty, and Madame is awesome."


    She didn''t know what Qiao Liangjin was trying to do, but she felt that Qiao Liangjin wasn''t clear about this. But now, it seemed that Qiao Liangjin didn''t care, could it be that everything was under her control?


    Zhen Yuan was suspicious as she looked at Qiao Liangjin with doubt.


    Qiao Liangjin touched his fat belly and said, "Everything needs to be settled after a meal. I don''t have the habit of thinking things over with hunger. Dad, breakfast!"


    With such a reversal, everyone present almost fell to the ground. Qiao Zheng''s hand paused for a moment before he suddenly smiled bitterly. He waved his hand and said, "Let''s go to the dining hall. This room ¡­ There''s always a weird smell. " As he spoke, his gaze drifted towards the pool of unknown liquid.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, laughed and nodded, saying, "I also feel that. I''m really curious, if one day our Second Uncle were to ascend the guillotine, wouldn''t he be trapped in his crotch?"


    Qiao Zheng''s expression froze slightly but he too broke into an unbridled smile. "Let''s not talk about it anymore."


    In the dining room, Qiao Liangjin sat at the table and let the spider out. As the spider crawled around the table, the three of them resisted the urge to eat and stared at the furry spider, cursing Qiao Liangjin a few hundred times in their hearts.


    Qiao Zheng, on the other hand, was rather curious about the spider. He even used his fingers to touch the spider, causing chastity to stop him with a cry. "Old master, don''t touch it. What if there''s poison?"


    After breakfast, Qiao Liangjin touched his belly and burped as he looked at the three women in front of him and asked with a smile, "What, are you guys really going to lose weight?" Why aren''t you eating? "


    With a fake smile, Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Liangjin and sneered. "Big sister, since our fifth sister lost her money, do you still have the mood to eat?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded his head furiously. Why wasn''t he in the mood to eat? Eating is so good, only after eating can you have the strength to fight with wisdom and courage!


    The water lotus standing behind her chastity almost couldn''t stand it anymore. What was going on? She was dragged here before she could finish, she still had a belly full of stories that she hadn''t finished making up.


    Qiao Liangjin crooked his finger at the water lotus behind her and smiled, "Aunt Shuihe, you haven''t finished talking just now, what happened next?"


    Shui He was startled and blurted out, "Later on, I said that I was going to walk all the way to the other side of the street ¡­" Your servant has long heard that the street is a place where dragons and snakes mix together ¡­ I''m afraid that the Fifth Miss has gone over ¡­ They will suffer. "


    Qiao Liangjin also shook his head and sighed, "Ah, so pretty. Could it be that this was destined by the heavens? Is Fifth Sister''s future destined to be so tragic? "


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to have not been satisfied with what he had said. He raised his sleeves and wiped the corner of his eyes. Everyone at the table stared at her clumsy performance. She raised her head, pointed at her own nose and asked: "Could it be that I didn''t act that well?"


    They all nodded.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No wonder. It seems like I didn''t get into an accident. I don''t feel the same way at all. Alright, now I have one more question."


    At this point, Qiao Liangjin suddenly stopped talking. He raised his teacup, leisurely sipped his tea, and then used his fingers to lightly stroke the back of the giant spider.


    Qiao Zheng waited for a long time but did not hear Qiao Liangjin speak. He then asked, "Jin''er, what is the problem?"


    Qiao Lianjin shot a glance at Qiao Ya and calmly said, "I heard that Qiao Ya went to look for Xin Ting last night. Why has she disappeared? Is Ya Er still here?"


    Hearing this, Qiao Ya slightly shook. Her hand grabbed onto the table to stabilize her body and her face immediately flushed. She anxiously argued: "Qiao Liangjin, what nonsense are you spouting? Don''t throw dirty water on me! "


    Qiao Liangjin lightly tapped the table with his fingers as he lowered his head and gave a slight smile. She was not in a hurry to speak, she was waiting for her cover up.


    Qiao Ya saw that Qiao Liangjin did not say much and became even more anxious. She continued to explain, "I hate her so much and she doesn''t like me either. How could she possibly come with me?"


    When Qiao Zheng heard up to this point, he felt that he could not see clearly what Qiao Liangjin wanted to say and his expression turned grave. He looked at his daughter, who had her head lowered and a smile on her face. For some reason, he felt fear towards her behavior.


    It was as if the many matters of this family, and even the entire capital, were in her hands. Her outstanding performance made him once think that she wasn''t his own daughter, but was instead replaced.


    Qiao Liangjin felt Qiao Zheng''s gaze on her and raised his head to look at his father with a smile: "Father, why are you looking at me like that? Don''t tell me that you think I am not your biological daughter?"


    Qiao Zheng was shocked and hurriedly retracted his gaze. After all these years of official customs, he could only reply with a calm smile: "Jin''er, you are messing around again. How could you not be my daughter when you are so naughty? You are very much like your mother."


    When Qiao Zheng brought up Jingshu, the hand that Chong Yuxin had placed on the table abruptly retracted, allowing Qiao Liangjin to see.


    Qiao Liangjin stopped smiling and suddenly said in a serious tone, "Regardless of who lost Fifth Sister, the mission now is to find her."


    "Of course, then we will go back and wait for news."


    Only after she left the dining hall with her two daughters did Qiao Zheng ask, "Jin''er, you don''t need to play games with father. I will ask you, where is Xin Ting?"


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to have long since thought of the question Qiao Zheng would ask him and gave a faint smile. He spread out his hand and said: "I don''t know either."


    Qiao Zheng''s face was fierce as he earnestly looked at Qiao Liangjin''s clean face with an innocent expression. He said with certainty, "Jin''er, you must know that this damned girl. Do you know what she''s up to?"


    Qiao Liangjin still had an innocent look as he blinked his eyes. With an innocent smile, he said, "Father, who would be able to beat you? You''re Xuanyuan Empire''s number one Prime Minister!"


    Qiao Zheng could not get anything out of Qiao Liangjin. He could only get up and walk out the door leisurely with his hands behind his back.


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze gradually grew colder as he watched Qiao Zheng leave. Since Qiao Zheng could not see through her, how could she see through Qiao Zheng?


    He stood up and placed the spider in his embrace before returning to the Flower Lover Pavilion.


    When he pushed open the door, he saw Yuesheng standing in front of a flower pot with mimosa plants on it. When he heard her push open the door, he hurriedly placed his hands behind him and asked with a smile, "Is that spider fun?"


    Qiao Liangjin did not answer and walked over. Grabbing his left hand, he saw that there was a thin line of blood on his wrist. She raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "What are you doing?"


    "It''s nothing, the Spiritual Swirls don''t have enough Spiritual Energy. I just want to help her."


    Qiao Liangjin pulled Yu Sheng over to the dressing table and took out a box of ointment, gently smearing it on the wound. Without saying anything, the little fox was a passionate and loyal demon, while the Mimosa was also a grateful demon.


    However, her heart still ached for this little fox. Perhaps it was because his appearance was that of a child''s. She had always finished teasing him, but more importantly, it was because she was taking care of him.


    The little fox, Yuesheng, frowned slightly, as if the ointment had hurt him. He kept trying to retract his hand, but he was firmly held back by Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin applied the ointment and noticed that the blood vein seemed to have gotten thinner. He was a little confused and asked, "Why does it look like your wound is recovering very quickly?"


    Yu Sheng chuckled as he lowered his sleeves. He replied, "It''s all because I train hard every day."


    Qiao Liangjin lightly tapped Yu Sheng''s forehead before standing up to look at Qiao Xinting, who was still sleeping.


    Before she left, she was worried that Qiao Xinting would wake up and start crying, so she chose her sleeping place.


    Qiao Liangjin saw that it was almost noon, so he opened her acupoints.


    Not long after, Qiao Xinting slowly opened her eyes and pulled the corners of her lips towards Qiao Liangjin. "Big sis ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled gently, and patted her arm softly and asked: "Are you okay? Are you awake? "


    Qiao Xingran nodded and slowly stood up. Looking around, she shyly asked, "Yesterday ¡­ I''m staying at elder sister''s place? "


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and turned to look at Yusheng, who was standing beside the Mimosa, and said, "Hurry up and get Ruo Lan and the others to send us some food."


    Qiao Xinting waved her hand. With a pale face, she said, "Big sister, don''t work hard. I will return to the Ning Xin Garden and let Qing cook for me." Saying so, he lifted up the blanket and got up.


    Qiao Liangjin held down Qiao Xinting and asked while shaking his head: "Xinting, are you planning on taking this loss? You want me to hurt you again and again? "


    Qiao Xinting''s entire body trembled. It was as if she had just remembered what happened last night. Her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

 C114 Playing the Big Part

    Qiao Liangjin grabbed Qiao Xinting''s shoulders and looked at her evenly. He asked: "Are you still going to be bullied like this? If you don''t want to, if... You think I''m your big sister... Then let''s not be so cowardly anymore, okay? "


    Qiao Xinting''s eyes looked all around her. She was still in a state of panic and her heart was in a state of numbness. After hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, she tried her best to stabilize her mind and meet Qiao Liangjin''s gaze.


    After staring at each other for an unknown period of time, Ruo Lan pushed open the door and entered the room. It was only then that Qiao Xinting was able to catch her breath.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin let go of Qiao Xinting''s shoulder. He looked back at Ruo Lan, who was carrying the porridge at the door, and said, "Give me some more side dishes. Fifth Miss is hungry."


    After saying that, he bent down and helped Qiao Xinting put on her shoes. He pulled her to a table and placed the porridge in front of her.


    Qiao Xinting seemed to have no appetite as she shook her head and said, "I can''t eat it."


    Qiao Liangjin did not try to persuade her. Looking at the little fox that had transformed into her, he said, "It''s nothing. It''s not going to end well. When you think about it later, it''s actually nothing."


    Qiao Xinting was silent for a moment. Then, she lifted the spoon and struggled to fill her mouth with the porridge. If Lan Xin brought a few more dishes, Qiao Xinting would eat all the food in front of her with a seriousness she had never experienced before.


    After a burp, Qiao Xinting pushed the bowl away and smiled at Qiao Liangjin with great effort: "Big sister, I''m fine."


    Qiao Liangjin sat upright and stared at Qiao Xinting seriously. He said, "Xinting, you can consider what elder sister just said."


    Qiao Xinting lowered her eyes and stared at her shoes. After a long while, she raised her head and smiled. "Big Sis, both times, Big Sis saved your life. So, don''t worry, Big Sis."


    Her long eyebrows slightly knitted together as she sighed, "Xinting, being born into such a family is something that we can''t avoid. We can''t choose to be born, but we can choose to defend ourselves, and this so-called" retreating "doesn''t allow others to let you go, we can only think of you as a sacrifice and trample on you at will."


    Qiao Xinting looked seriously at Qiao Liangjin''s face and nodded. She didn''t quite understand why Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er didn''t like her and had come looking for trouble with her time and time again. However, every time there was a deep malice in her heart, she knew that she couldn''t continue to be so cowardly.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t know how to care about others. He could only pat Qiao Xinting on the shoulder and say, "Everyone in the Prime Minister''s Estate now thinks that you''ve gone missing, so you''re here. Don''t show up for now, when you do, it''ll be time to get Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er out of the Prime Minister''s Estate."


    After calming Qiao Xinting down, Qiao Liangjin prepared to go to Tranquil Heart Garden. The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Qiao Siyuan standing not far away from the Moon Gate, kicking away the snow that had fallen.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin, Qiao Siyuan felt a little embarrassed. He turned around and was about to leave when Qiao Liangjin''s voice rang out. "What? "She felt she had no face to see me because she didn''t protect her sister, didn''t she?


    After saying those words, the little red face of Qiao Yifan who originally wanted to leave turned around. Step by step, he walked in front of Qiao Liangjin with great difficulty. With his head lowered, he looked as if he had committed a mistake.


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit tired. Why were these ancient children so glass-hearted? When Qiao Yifan was standing firmly in front of Qiao Liangjin, Qiao Liangjin placed his hand on his shoulder and said very calmly, "You''re a man. Even if you''re only nine years old, you''re still a man. She''s the big sister playing with you. You didn''t protect her well."


    Qiao Yifan''s entire body shuddered and his shoulders started to tremble. Qiao Liangjin could only see large drops of tears falling onto the ground between their feet.


    Qiao Liangjin pinched his shoulder and slowly crouched down. She looked at Qiao Siyuan with a serious expression and said, "You are not to be blamed for this matter. You are still too weak. Even if something like this happens in the future, you have to save him. If you can''t, then you must run. You must run."


    Qiao Siyuan raised his teary eyes and looked at Qiao Liangjin. He asked with confusion, "Why?"


    Qiao Liangjin gave a faint smile and took the handkerchief from Ruo Lan. He gently wiped away the tears on Qiao Yifan''s face and explained, "If you are unable to save him even if you try your best, it would mean that the forces there are too powerful, so there should be no fearless sacrifices. It wouldn''t be too late for a gentleman to seek revenge for ten years."


    Qiao Yifan seemed to be deep in thought. His handsome eyebrows slowly knitted together. At this moment, Qiao Liangjin stood up and said to Ruo Lan, "Send the young master to study."


    When Lan Ruo answered, she pulled Joshua along and left. Behind her, Zi Yan softly said, "Miss ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and took a deep breath, then walked straight towards the Ningxin Garden. When he was almost there, he said, "You guys should have heard it clearly, even if something happens to me in the future, you guys will not be able to save me. Just remember, if there''s a chance in the future, you can avenge me."


    Purple Smoke and Dai Di were startled, then replied, "Yes, Miss."


    Arriving at the Calm Heart Garden, Qiao Liangjin left Zi Yan and Pai Dai at the door and lightly knocked. Guo Caiting''s listless voice came from inside, "Come in."


    Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and stepped into the room. Guo Caiting was not lying on the bed, but was sitting in front of the dressing table, staring blankly at him in the mirror.


    Qiao Liangjin walked behind Guo Caiting and looked at her haggard face in the mirror. She picked up the comb and slowly combed Guo Caiting''s loose hair without saying a word. The room was extremely quiet, with only the two of them slightly breathing.


    After knitting Guo Caiting''s hair into a bun and putting on a jade-green hairpin, she finally spoke, "How is it? Third Aunt, my cooking skills shouldn''t be that bad, right? "


    Guo Caiting tilted her head and looked at the bun in the mirror, smiling, "This is the first time I''ve seen such a plate of hair. The young miss'' ideas are endless."


    "I''ve woken up. I''m fine." Qiao Liangjin pulled over a chair and sat down.


    Guo Caiting''s hand that was pressing down on her sideburns trembled slightly. She turned around and faced Qiao Liangjin as she sat down. With a nervous expression, she asked, "Is Xin Ting alright?"


    "Mm, very good, don''t worry." Qiao Liangjin''s eyes shone faintly.


    "Eldest Miss ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly came back to his senses. When he heard Guo Caiting call her, she smiled at her, "Aunt, you always treat others this way. In the future, just call me Jin''er. Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss is too formal."


    Guo Caiting stared blankly for a moment before revealing a smile, "Good, Jin''er."


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and looked at the sky outside, his lips curled up, "I really look forward to what kind of big show will be put on."


    It was night. The black moon hung high in the sky.


    Qiao Liangjin was about to take off her clothes to rest when there was a hurried knock on the door. Ah Kuan''s voice sounded, and not long later, the butler knocked on the door and said anxiously, "Miss, quickly go to the madame''s place. The madame lost her temper again, the servant found Fifth Miss ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the nervous Qiao Xinting and shook his head slightly. He then said, "Alright, I''ll go now."


    After the butler finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Qiao Liangjin told Zi Yan and Bai Kuan to stay at the Flourishing Mansion and warned them not to let anyone know that Qiao Xinting was here before heading to the madame''s room.


    Before the madame could enter her room, she heard the madame''s roar, "Shame, shame, shame. He''s dead already, why did he retrieve it?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s footsteps halted as he closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sounds coming from inside. There were the growls of the madame, Qiao Zheng''s sighs, and a few weeping voices. One of them was Guo Caiting and Qiao Siyuan. Two more... Qiao Liangjin listened attentively, and suddenly couldn''t help but laugh out loud. It was actually Qiao Ya and Qiao Ningzi.


    A big show was about to take place in the prime minister''s residence. Qiao Liangjin was ready, so he pushed open the door and entered the room.


    The old mistress'' chair was right in front of him. She seemed to be very angry, and her hand, which was leaning on her walking stick, was shaking non-stop.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin walk in, the madame''s face was not her face, and her nose was not her nose. He coldly snorted and said: "Qiao Liangjin, it''s all your fault. If you didn''t want her to learn how to read and write, she wouldn''t have eloped with him."


    Just as Qiao Liangjin found a place to stand, he didn''t expect the madame to come over and scold him. She pointed at her nose in surprise and asked, "Old madam, are you talking to me?"


    Qiao Maoshan stood to the side, touching his chin in a strange manner and sneered: "Of course not, our mansion''s eldest miss, let a concubine go read and write. This time, the concubine was born as a concubine and did not have any potential."


    Qiao Liangjin maintained his confused look and asked: "What are you guys talking about? Have you already found Xin Ting? Where''s Xin Ting? "


    Just as her voice fell, Guo Caiting cried even louder. His finger trembled as he pointed outside and said, "Xinting ¡­" "Xin Ting stopped at the back door ¡­"


    "Stop? The back door? "Why not let her in?"


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, the madame became even more furious. She slammed her walking stick onto the ground and bellowed, "His body is already broken! How can he enter my dignified Prime Minister''s Mansion?!"


    Qiao Liangjin gasped and took two steps back. He leaned on A''Qing who was standing behind him and asked in disbelief, "Really ¡­" How to... Could it be? Not... "Did he elope ¡­"


    Qiao Maoshan and Lin Fangli looked at each other before sneering, "To run away is to soak in a pig cage. This is great, that brat sold me to a brothel, and to a brothel on a street ¡­"


    Qiao Zheng could no longer bear to listen. He raised the cup that he had placed on the tea table and slammed it onto the floor. With a clatter, the teacup shattered into pieces.


    Everyone stopped talking and looked at Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng''s chest rose and fell as if trying his best to suppress the anger within him. It was only after some time that he finally spoke. "Everyone is dead. Why speak so much nonsense?"

 C115 The Plot Swerves

    Hearing this, Guo Caiting knelt on the ground, step by step she crawled over, kowtowing heavily as she wailed, "Master, you''re avenging for Xin Ting!"


    Qiao Zheng looked deeply at Guo Caiting who was kneeling on the ground, his voice filled with a bitterness he never had before: "Caiting, you ¡­ "Let''s go back first. I''ll take care of it."


    Meanwhile, A Qing''s face was full of tears as she tried to help Guo Caiting up, but she couldn''t.


    Qiao Liangjin let out a sigh, walked to Guo Caiting''s side, knelt down, and said with his head lowered, "You have to see her alive, you have to see her corpse, your daughter wants to see her body with her own eyes, making decisions. Also, your daughter also wants to meet the person who eloped with her, don''t you know if she''s caught?"


    Qiao Maoshan immediately objected: "What a joke, how can such a dirty body enter our mansion?"


    Zhen Yuxin also replied, "Jin''er, it doesn''t make sense."


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin turned his head towards Guo Caiting and said, "What a pity that Qiao Xinting isn''t present in such a scene. If she was here, what would she have thought?"


    Before he could finish his words, the door suddenly opened with a "bang". It was very quiet outside, and there was only the dark, ink-like night.


    When they heard Qiao Liangjin''s words, a gust of cold wind blew in, causing them to shiver uncontrollably.


    Lin Fang Li immediately hid behind Qiao Mao Shan, grabbing his sleeve and whispering: "Did he cause a ghost?"


    When the madame heard Lin Fanli''s not so soft mutterings, she pointed her cane and scolded, "Even if she dies, she''s still a troublemaker. If I had known earlier, I would have let her die in the womb!"


    Guo Caiting''s face paled as she stared in shock at the madame who had spoken so maliciously.


    On the other hand, the crying Qiao Siyuan was not afraid at all. He shouted at the madame, "Fifth Sister is not a troublemaker!" Then he rushed to the door and shouted towards the night: "Fifth Sister, come back and tell me, who killed you, I will avenge you!"


    Just as she cried and shouted these words, Qiao Liangjin suddenly laughed out loud. She turned her head to look at the weeping Qiao Siyuan outside the door and smiled. "This house is actually not even comparable to a nine-year-old child."


    The corner of Guo Caiting''s mouth slightly pursed as she lowered her head.


    Qiao Zheng inadvertently saw Guo Caiting''s actions and his heart fell into chaos. He waved his hand and said: "Go bring the Fifth Miss'' corpse in as well as that little brat."


    Chastity was about to continue to stop him when she heard Qiao Lianjin say sinisterly, "I wonder who died. If they really find someone to kill, would they come knocking at night?"


    Chastity sighed and said, "Well, in the end, she''s still the young miss of our Prime Minister''s Estate. It''s better for her to come back."


    The madame did not think that Qiao Zheng would actually have his corpse brought in. Even his breathing became rough as he slammed his palm on the tea table and scolded angrily, "I''d like to take a good look at what this is like and how he came to find me."


    Qiao Liangjin''s long eyebrows creased. He got up and walked over to the madame''s side. He used a handkerchief to wipe her forehead and advised, "Madame, you are too old. Don''t always get angry."


    The madame did not like Qiao Liangjin to begin with. She pushed him away and scolded angrily, "It''s all your fault. You still have the nerve to speak. From tomorrow onwards, you are not to leave the ancestral hall for three months!"


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and took a few steps back. "Yes, madame," he responded.


    As he spoke, the servant brought Qiao Xinting''s corpse in. There was a white cloth over one of the doors. Only a few strands of hair were visible.


    When Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er saw the corpse, they were so frightened that they embraced Qiao Ningzi''s arm.


    An extremely ordinary-looking man was also pushed through the door by a servant. As soon as he entered, he kneeled on the ground, exclaiming that he was wrongly accused.


    The ruckus in the room annoyed Qiao Liangjin. She touched her earlobes and walked over to Qiao Xinting''s corpse. She crouched down and abruptly opened the cloth.


    "Ah ¡­" All the women in the room screamed and covered their faces.


    The moment Qiao Liangjin saw the corpse, he almost thought that he had seen wrongly. The corpse in front of him seemed to be Qiao Xinting. If he hadn''t saved her, she would have definitely been moved at this moment.


    The moment Guo Caiting saw the corpse''s face, her eyes rolled back in her head and she fainted.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and helped Guo Caiting up. Only then did Guo Caijing slowly wake up. She rushed over as if she was crazy, and carefully looked at her face. She even wanted to feel the corpse''s arms.


    Qiao Zheng could not bear to watch any longer and advised: "Cai Ting ¡­"


    The old mistress snorted and turned away, refusing to look at the corpse.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and looked at the man who kept mumbling to himself. "Who are you?"


    Hearing someone ask him, the man raised his head in fear, but looked around and replied, "I ¡­" "I am a scholar."


    "And then?"


    "Fifth Miss said she likes me, but she''s the young lady of the Prime Minister''s Estate. The Residence definitely won''t allow her to marry me, so we made an appointment to elope ¡­" The man opened his mouth and spoke very smoothly.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and crouched down. He looked at the man with a cold gaze, "How do you know each other?"


    "Ah ¡­" Fifth Miss often goes out to sell medicine. Once, she fell down and I helped her up. The man''s answer was fluent.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and looked at the rowdy crowd in the room. He looked like he was watching a good show and was smiling yet not smiling.


    Zhen Yuxin''s face turned green. This girl just asked a few simple questions and then stood there looking as if she wanted to see how you were going to continue acting. This caused her teeth to itch in hatred.


    Joan of Arc suddenly felt uncertain if the corpse in front of her could be deceived by Qiao Zheng or if the witness in front of her could be a good witness to this lie. She suddenly felt as if there was grass growing in her heart, and for some inexplicable reason, she still felt that she would fail.


    "The body has been seen, witnesses have been found... You don''t need to ask about anything else, right? " After a while, Yuanyuan said expressionlessly.


    Qiao Zheng nodded his head as well and weakly waved his hand. "No matter what, Xin Ting is my daughter. Dress her up properly and bury her."


    "No, no, no ¡­" She''s not my daughter... I want to check the soles of her feet. " On the other side, the crazed Guo Caiting quickly took off the shoes and socks of the corpse.


    The moment she saw the soles of her feet, Guo Caiting''s sad expression changed. She suddenly laughed out loud, threw away the shoes and socks in her hands and said, "I told you, she''s not my daughter!"


    "What?" Everyone in the room stood up, stunned.


    With a cold expression that had never been seen before, Guo Caiting said with a smile, "When Xin Ting was ten years old, she went out to help me get it. In the end, the ground beneath her feet was cut open, leaving behind a scar ¡­"


    Joan of Arc sucked in a breath of cold air and her body swayed. She sat back in her chair and stared blankly at Qiao Liangjin. She had lost again, and lost to this sixteen year old girl.


    Qiao Liangjin stroked his chin and asked with a frown: "If this isn''t Xinting, then does that mean that there''s no matter of running away?"


    He turned around and looked at the man, and smiled sinisterly: "Who sent you? Why did you slander my fifth sister? "


    The man looked behind Qiao Liangjin and returned to his senses. He replied as if he was going to die, "I don''t know anything. I only know that Fifth Miss said she wanted to elope with me."


    Qiao Liangjin gave a backhand slap on the man''s face. Perhaps because he had used all of his strength, the man fell to the side and spat out a few teeth while waiting.


    Qiao Liangjin stroked his palm and laughed coldly, "This time it''s just a few teeth, next time it''s your life ¡­ "Tell me, who ordered you?"


    The man covered his mouth, but did not speak.


    A few people''s footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard. The Moon Gate was opened and four people with lanterns on their heads walked in.


    Ah Kuan''s voice sounded very surprised as he said, "Found Fifth Miss!"


    A girl wearing a black cloak, Qing Ling, stepped into the door. She raised her slender hand and lifted her hood. A small, white face appeared in front of everyone.


    Joan of Arc''s face turned pale again.


    The old lady seemed to be frightened. She clutched her chest and panted desperately.


    Guo Caiting stood up, running in big strides until she was in front of Qiao Xinting and hugged her. With tears streaming down her face, she said, "I thought you were dead. I really thought you were dead ¡­"


    Qiao Xinting, on the other hand, no longer had her previous immaturity. She gently patted Guo Caiting''s back to comfort her, "It''s fine, Mother. It''s fine now."


    Qiao Siyuan also ran over in delight. He wanted to hug Qiao Xinting, but he didn''t know how. He could only rub his nose and smile with reddened eyes. "Fifth Sister, it''s good that you''re fine. Where did you go?"


    Qiao Zheng was shocked at first but he soon became happy as well. He stood up and walked to Qiao Xinting''s side, his voice filled with concern. "Where have you been hiding?"


    Qiao Xinting was somewhat embarrassed as she explained, "Big sister''s Pear Blossom is drunk. I saw that the fox loved to drink it, so I fed it and smelled the fragrance of the warm air. I also tasted it and slept for two nights and one day."


    Qiao Liangjin had an astonished look on his face as he asked, "Why have you always been sleeping in my Golden Flower Pavilion?"


    When Qiao Ya saw that she was still alive and Qiao Liangjin still had an expression of shock, she interrupted and asked, "What are you two up to?"


    Qiao Liangjin turned around with a smile and made a gesture to drink a cup of tea. Qiao Ya glared at Qiao Liangjin with hatred and stopped talking.


    Qiao Liangjin turned to look at Qiao Zheng and said with a smile, "There is someone in this house who is up to no good. Father, this person wants to slander my fifth sister. Why don''t you just beat him to death?"


    Qiao Zheng glanced at the kneeling man covered in blood and snorted coldly. "That''s fine too, I don''t need to go out and harm the girls of other families."


    When the servant outside came in, he wanted to drag the man out and beat him to death. The man was anxious and struggled desperately, not letting go as he held on to the doorsill: "I said ¡­" I said... "It''s her ¡­"


    The finger pointed into the room. Everyone turned to look, only to see the finger pointing straight at Qiao Ya, Qiao Yue-er and Qiao Ningzi who were huddled together.

 C116 The Truth Is Clear

    Qiao Liangjin also followed the direction of his finger and looked over, and laughed: "Look, you''re being dishonest again, who doesn''t know that these three young misses are our mansion''s two great misses, how could they have this kind of collusion with you?"


    At this moment, in order to save his life, the man did not care about the sinister and cold eyes of Chong Zhen. He pointed at the three women and said, "It was that red dress."


    Everyone turned to look and all they saw was Qiao Yue-er wearing red clothes. Upon hearing these words, she shook her head in astonishment and burst into tears. "I didn''t ¡­" Father ¡­ "I did not ¡­"


    The man continued indignantly, "You came to find me at the back door the day before yesterday wearing this red. Although you were wearing a cloak, I saw your skirt."


    Qiao Yue-er was startled. She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Qiao Ya as she shouted, "It''s you! Today you made me wear this dress. You said it was the most appropriate for my skin color."


    Qiao Ya''s face was still in a panicked state. Hearing Qiao Yue-er''s testimony, she said in surprise, "Little sister, you can eat whatever you want and never say whatever you want. You''re the only one in this mansion with clothes."


    Qiao Yue-er glared hatefully at Qiao Ya. Her brows were tightly locked together. She did not understand how she had been splashed with dirty water.


    On the other side, her chastity could no longer bear to see the two sisters shunning each other. She slammed her palm on the table and shouted, "Enough!"


    chastity''s voice was especially loud, causing everyone in the room to be stunned. It had been fifteen years since she had married into the Prime Minister''s Palace, and she had always been considerate and gentle. Everyone was at a loss from her words.


    Only then did chastity lose her composure, she pressed her chest and lowered her voice, "Master, it is my responsibility, I did not educate my two daughters well ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin knew that her chastity was about to take a detour to save the country. He sneered, "If apologies are useful, why would we need a police officer?"


    Qiao Zheng was angry to begin with but this Prime Minister''s house did not look as calm as it looked. He turned around and returned to his seat, his fingers gently stroking the armrest of his chair as he looked at the crowd.


    Qiao Mao Shan and Lin Fang Li looked at each other as they quietly moved towards the door. Just when they were about to leave, the feeling of wanting to see a joke had already disappeared and they were accidentally dragged into the pit by Qiao Liangjin. Perhaps they might even be chased out of the Prime Minister''s residence.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was standing beside Qiao Xinting, turned his head slightly and swept a glance at her. Qiao Xinting''s gaze was firm as she looked at Qiao Zheng, while the hand that held Guo Caiting''s hand trembled slightly.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a little bitter. Had he gone too far? To let a thirteen-year-old girl, a child in her own generation, face a complicated family and face a conspiracy like this.


    Qiao Xinting took a step forward and kneeled heavily on the ground. Then, she kowtowed three times. With a soft and firm voice, she said, "Father, please give me justice."


    Qiao Liangjin could not help but reveal an appreciative smile. This move was undoubtedly a trump card at this moment, forcing Qiao Zheng to use it heavily.


    Qiao Zheng signaled for Ah Qing to help Qiao Xinting up and let out a long sigh. "My family is unlucky, Yuanyuan Xin. Three months from now, it will be the old mistress'' birthday. Take Ya Er and Yue''er to Jinshan Temple for a long Ramadan, to dispel the hostility in your two daughters'' hearts."


    She thought that no matter what, she was the first wife of the Prime Minister. As long as she opened her mouth, her two daughters would be grounded for at most a few months. She didn''t expect them to leave the city and go to the Jinshan Temple at the foot of the mountain 600 miles away.


    When Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er heard this, they recalled that it would be the first month of January in a few days. They frantically knelt on the ground and pleaded with tears in their eyes, "Father, we ¡­ "We''re still young, my sister and I haven''t done anything ¡­"


    After saying that, Qiao Ya suddenly turned around and viciously pointed at the man behind her. She shouted, "Big Sis must have bribed him to slander us."


    Qiao Liangjin did not seem to mind her words at all. Rabbits would bite if they were anxious. It was just that Qiao Ya was in a state of confusion and had committed a grave mistake, just so happening to meet Qiao Zheng''s taboo.


    If, at this moment, Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er had not argued and instead cried out that they were lost in their own thoughts, they might have been able to easily deal with today''s matters. However, these two girls were foolish enough to do the opposite.


    When her chastity saw that Qiao Ya was accusing the man, she anxiously rushed forward and pressed down on Qiao Ya''s arm. Then, she turned around and followed her two daughters to kneel on the ground.


    Qiao Zheng''s face grew darker and darker. He really did not expect that Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er would normally be so obedient and gentle, but now it would seem that they were pretending.


    When chastity raised her head, tears were already flowing from her eyes. She said with sorrow in her voice, "Master, you and I have been husband and wife for 15 years, and my chastity has no merits nor hardships for this Prime Minister Residence. But ¡­" Master... Ya Er and Yue Er are still children. "


    Qiao Liangjin coldly snorted and interrupted, "Xinting is only thirteen years old."


    Qiao Zheng who seemed to be slightly relaxed had a cold expression on his face. Chastity was a woman who cared about her countenance. Seeing Qiao Zheng''s eyebrows tighten even more, she suddenly stopped crying.


    Qiao Zheng waved his hand and stood up, walking towards the door with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door, he halted his steps and looked at the man kneeling outside the door. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Sixty slaps, throw it out!" With that, he left in a hurry.


    The old lady looked at her chastity, then looked at Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er. She sighed, stood up, and said to Yun Chu who had been standing behind her with his mouth tightly shut, "What are you still doing here? Rest. "Siyuan, go back with grandma. It''s already very late, you should get some rest." He walked to the door and left without saying a word.


    The only ones left in the room were Qiao Liangjin, Guo Caiting, Qiao Xinting, Chong Yuexin, Qiao Ya, Qiao Yue-er, and Qiao Ningzi.


    Qiao Liangjin called the guard, pointed at the corpse and said: "Send it to the Prefecture Overseer in Beijing, tell him that you saw this corpse at our back door." There''s no need to say anything else. "


    After the guard carried away the corpse, Qiao Liangjin held onto the back of his neck, slightly shook his neck, then leisurely walked to the side of Zhen Yuxin, heavily sitting on the seat that Qiao Zheng was sitting on a moment ago, he smiled and said: "Today''s scene, to be honest, is not very exciting. Zhen Yuxin, your daughter, if I were to obtain a tenth of your true inheritance, today''s matter might be the best opportunity to bring us down."


    Zhen Yuxin seriously sized up this fat girl in front of her. She seemed to be thinking, since when did this girl before her become so wise, so smart, and so good at scheming?


    Qiao Liangjin did not mind the way she looked at him. She even welcomed her good spirit. When she came to fight with him, the days in the capital that had not been cleaned up were rather boring.


    Qiao Ya wiped away the tears on her face and knelt on the ground. She raised her head to look at Qiao Liangjin, who was safely sitting on the chair, and completely forgot to stand up. Besides hatred and fear, everything else was different from before.


    It was only until Qiao Yue-er kicked her that she realized that she had been kneeling in front of her. A sense of humiliation arose as she glared hatefully at Qiao Liangjin and stood up.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t mind the enmity the mother and daughter had towards him. She looked at them indifferently as they left, but her lips formed a perfect curve.


    After returning to the Flowermoney Pavilion, she told Lu Li to arrange three secret guards to protect the mother and daughter pair. The fight this time had gradually stabilized their position, and within three months, they would no longer have to worry about fighting with each other. She would have more time to do other things.


    Lu Li made the arrangements for the Dark Guard and returned to his room. He wrote on a piece of paper: The Royal Concubine is now using the people from the Seventh Prince''s house more and more smoothly. The Seventh Prince has good news!


    As she lay down, Qiao Liangjin realized that he was really tired today. He hadn''t slept well for the past two days. His eyelids were closed, but his brain was working at a high speed. He kept feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn''t remember where.


    Qiao Liangjin kept tossing and turning on the bed, causing the little fox, Yuesheng, who was sleeping by the side, to stand up in a somewhat vexed manner. She then gently leaped over Qiao Liangjin''s body before jumping onto the beauty bed and curling up into a ball.


    Qiao Liangjin opened her eyes and looked at the dark rooftop. She remembered that it had been three days since she last heard the news.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly scolded softly, "You''re crazy." It was unknown who he was cursing.


    The next day, he heard Qiao Ruo Ying''s heavy knocking on the door. Qiao Liangjin sighed bitterly. He had not seen Qiao Ruo Ying for the past two days and had almost forgotten that he had already asked her to clean up the teahouse.


    She propped herself up and lazily asked, "What is it?"


    "Qiao Ya committed suicide." Qiao Ruo Ying''s voice did not sound anxious, but rather ¡­ He was somewhat happy.


    Qiao Liangjin slapped his forehead and bitterly smiled as he shook his head. Sure enough, in order to not go to the Jin Shan monastery, suicide was the only way to resist.


    After getting off the bed, he casually put on his coat and went to open the door. Qiao Liangjin stood at the door and looked at Qiao Liangjin with a smile that could not be concealed.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and asked: "You committed suicide. Are you dead? "If I''m not mistaken, she shouldn''t be dead. Right now, she is crying in her room, telling everyone to ignore her and let her die, so that she can forgive her crimes, right?"

 C117 Send You away

    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, Qiao Ruo Ying was flabbergasted and could not help but applaud: "Little sister, you are really something. When I just returned to the mansion, I heard that the Fragrance Garden is in a mess. I was curious, so I followed you to take a look. Wow, it''s really quite a scene!"


    "Cut off the wrist? Hanging? "It''s not going to be poison anyway." Qiao Liangjin let Qiao Ruo Ying into the room, then washed his face in the washbasin that was brought over by Dai Di. He then sat in front of the dressing mirror.


    After Qiao Liangjin finished changing his clothes in the cloakroom, a girl who looked even fatter than she did a few days ago appeared in front of her.


    Qiao Ruo Ying stood at the door teasing the mimosa grass. When she turned her head and saw Qiao Liangjin''s dressing, she sucked in a breath of cold air. "Little sister, your obesity has reached a new height."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed heartily. He patted his belly and walked out of the Flowermoney Pavilion towards the direction of the Fragrance Garden. Smiling, he asked, "They are looking for death. Why don''t we go take a look?"


    Only then did Qiao Ruo Ying remember Qiao Lianjin''s question from before and replied: "I heard she hanged herself. I don''t like her room anyway, you go take a look, there are so many ghosts in this residence." As he spoke, he walked towards his own courtyard.


    Before they even reached the Celestial Fragrance Garden, they heard Qiao Ya''s cries, which were probably more than 10 times louder than normal. They were afraid that no one outside would be able to hear them, and that their family''s servants were already standing at the entrance of the Celestial Fragrance Garden.


    Qiao Liangjin stood outside the door, coldly glancing at the servants, who dispersed in all directions. Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and entered the Celestial Fragrance Garden.


    Outside of the room stood Qiao Ya''s servant Ruoshui. She was wiping the corners of her eyes, looking very sad. When she saw Qiao Liangjin come in, she spread open her arms and shouted angrily: "Young Miss! What are you doing here? "


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Ruoshui indifferently and smiled, "Let''s see how it turns out that your young miss is not completely dead."


    "You ¡­" Ruoshui was at a loss for words. She didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to be so straightforward and only knew how to point at her. She didn''t know what to say.


    "Pointing at me? Who gave a servant such big guts? Violet Smoke, break her index finger for me! " Qiao Liangjin''s voice turned cold.


    Before Ruoshui could retract her finger, Zi Yan was already holding onto Ruoshui''s finger. With a light push, Ruoshui''s heart-wrenching wails could be heard. Zi Yan let go of her hand and calmly retreated to Qiao Liangjin''s back.


    Ruo Shui didn''t think that Qiao Liangjin would actually break her finger. Clutching her finger, she tremblingly moved out of the way. She finally understood that the person she shouldn''t offend right now was this woman with an ice-cold smile on her face. She was no longer the same Qiao Liangjin she used to be.


    Entering the room, Qiao Liangjin glanced around the room. Qiao Zheng had yet to return from court and was only at his chastity. Qiao Yue''er and Qiao Ya were in the room but Qiao Ningzi, who had green tea on her face, was not there.


    When Qiao Ya saw Qiao Liangjin enter the room, she hugged her chastity and cried out, "Mother, I was wrong. I admit that I was wrong. I hope Big Sis won''t kick us out." I am willing to die to atone for my sins. "


    Her heart softly patted Qiao Ya''s back. With a teary look, she consoled her, "Foolish child, you don''t need to be born so easily. If you have any problems, we can slowly resolve them. Foolish child, if your father knew, how sad would he be? "


    Qiao Liangjin walked to the bedside, and Zi Yan brought over a stool. She placed it behind Qiao Liangjin''s back. Qiao Liangjin gently sat down and looked at his mother and son with a smile, then at Qiao Yue-er before sighing.


    Qiao Yue-er wiped the corner of her eyes and secretly glanced at Qiao Liangjin. Finding that she was not going to say anything, she lowered her arm and said, "Big sister, we were wrong. Big sister Ya wants to apologize with her life.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and shook his head, "It''s not that I don''t want to forgive you, it''s just too big. So big that I don''t think there''s any point in Yue Er including you in apologizing with your life. Right, I want to tell you a story, do you want to listen to it? "


    Qiao Ya was startled and her crying immediately stopped. What kind of sickness did this Qiao Liangjin have? Why was he telling such a bullshit story at this time?


    Qiao Liangjin paused and realized that no one was going to interrupt her, so she started talking to herself: "I said there''s a girl, especially a bitch, why are you such a b * tch. She was the one who ruled the world. And then, one day, she was struck by lightning."


    Qiao Yue-er asked in confusion, "And then?"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled sweetly and said, "And then he died. What, do you still want to whip his corpse?"


    The three of them looked at each other, clearly not knowing what she meant by this story.


    He stood up and walked to the side of the bed. Raising Qiao Ya''s chin, he looked at the purple marks on the bed and shook his head. "You were saved too early, it would take seven minutes for you to hang yourself from the rope to your last breath. You need at least two minutes to hang on the rope."


    Qiao Ya''s face immediately turned green. She turned her head away from Qiao Liangjin''s hand and timidly hid in the bosom of her chastity, pitifully looking at her.


    When chastity heard Qiao Ya''s analysis, her heart was once again surprised. How could she be so familiar with these methods? She was obviously only a sixteen-year-old girl, yet every time she was able to poke a fatal point.


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s mouth slightly curled up, "Forget it, you should all go and cultivate properly. Hopefully, when you return, you will be able to bring me back a play that involves a completely different world."


    After saying that, he turned around and left the room. There was no longer any sound of Qiao Ya''s sobbing sounds coming from the room.


    Qiao Liangjin brought his servant girl straight to the palace gates. Just as he reached the gates, he heard someone call out, "That young miss of the Hua Chi clan has appeared!"


    Not long later, many people surrounded Qiao Liangjin. Some of them greeted him kindly: "Miss Qiao, are you alright? It''s been a long time since I''ve seen you call a bed. "


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s eyes twitched. Why does that sound so weird?


    On the other side, someone asked, "Seventh Prince went to the Southern Kingdom. Who did Miss Qiao come to wait for? Could it be the new top scholar? "


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly raised his head, his eyes had turned bright as he asked: "Which one? Which one? "Is he handsome?"


    The crowd burst into an uproar as they started laughing. So Miss Blossom Heart Qiao was still around.


    After Qiao Zheng had left the palace, Qiao Liangjin welcomed him with a smile. She grabbed onto Qiao Zheng''s arm and said in a spoiled manner, "Father, let''s go to the Fragrant Sky Tower for lunch." I''ve already asked Kuan to book it... Right, which one is the new top scholar? Why didn''t I hear Father mention it? "


    Qiao Zheng''s smiling face froze as he inadvertently shot a glance to his side. A man dressed in red robes was walking towards the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin followed Qiao Zheng''s gaze and looked over. He was clothed in red and almost thought to be the coquettish top scholar. If one took a closer look, he would see that he was thinner and fairer than Su Chen.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly disappeared. When everyone looked at her, she had already stopped in front of the horse carriage of the Minister. She arrogantly asked, "You are the Minister?"


    The Minister looked around and pointed at his nose, saying, "That''s right ¡­" "Miss, may I ask ¡­"


    "Come, let''s go eat with us. We''ll meet again in the future." Qiao Liangjin pulled the Top Scholar along as he walked towards Qiao Zheng''s carriage.


    Qiao Zheng''s thick eyebrows creased slightly. He wanted to reprimand his daughter, but he did not know how to do so. He could only smile at the top judge: "Sir Shangguan, this is my daughter Qiao Liangjin, she ¡­" If you are a little naive and straightforward, please forgive me. "


    The moment the top scholar named Shangguan heard Qiao Lianjin''s name, his expression turned extremely ugly. He wanted to retreat, but he kept saying, "Miss Qiao ¡­ Miss Qiao ¡­ "What virtue and ability does Shangguan Liang have?"


    Qiao Liangjin, who was holding Shangguan Liang''s hand, suddenly brought it over. Shangguan Liang was caught off guard as he fell back and sat on the ground. The crowd all covered his butt at the same time.


    Shangguan Liang grimaced as he sat on the ground, refusing to get up. Qiao Liangjin was both annoyed and amused by what he saw. He had always felt that he was a acting genius, but he had never expected that this top scholar could act better than him.


    Qiao Liangjin walked over and lightly nudged Shangguan Liang''s calf with his toe. "Are you okay?"


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin''s action, Shangguan Liang suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha ¡­" Miss Qiao ¡­ You really are ¡­ Innocent. "


    Qiao Liangjin was a little surprised. This Shangguan did not seem to be that pedantic. How come he seemed to be someone who did not play by the book?


    She giggled and said, "It''s good that you''re fine. Get up, my dad and I will go to the Fragrant Sky Tower, and you''ll be fine too. Just treat it as me inviting you on behalf of my dad." "How about it?"


    Shangguan Liang crawled up, dusted off the dust on his butt, and cupped his hands. "It''s better to be respectful than to obey." After he had finished, he turned around and boarded the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin helped Qiao Zheng into the carriage as he took out a bag and said, "Father, I''ve brought your casual clothes with me. I know you don''t like to run around wearing official robes."


    Qiao Zheng pointed at Qiao Liangjin''s nose and said: "You should just be honest with me. Exactly why are you blocking me like this and not wanting me to return to the Prime Minister''s Estate?"


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled, "Dad, no wonder everyone in the court says that you''re an old fox. Indeed, nothing can be hidden from you."


    Qiao Zheng wore a fierce expression as he looked at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin then stuck out his tongue and made the expression of a little girl, "The big lady doesn''t want to leave the Residence of Prime Minister, so she is waiting for you to return. If I don''t want you to return, you will be merciful."


    Qiao Zheng was shocked. After a long while, he sighed and lightly tapped his knee with his finger. Closing his eyes, he leaned against the wall of the carriage.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed inwardly. She knew that Qiao Zheng had compromised.


    When they arrived at the Fragrant Sky Tower, Qiao Liangjin ordered a glass of the best Agarwood Wine and poured three cups on the table.


    Qiao Zheng saw Qiao Liangjin pour three cups of wine and asked somewhat suspiciously, "Are you sure Shangguan will come?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and said calmly: "I''m not sure, but aren''t you here? Then I naturally have confidence that he will come."


    Qiao Liangjin rubbed his belly and laughed, "Your daughter is very hungry, let''s eat some snacks to fill her stomach."


    Shangguan Liang''s voice came from the other side of the door after eating only two flowercakes. "Sir ¡­"


    The door was opened by the purple smoke standing outside. Shangguan Liang, who had already changed out of his official uniform, stood outside the door.

 C118 Dream at Night

    Qiao Liangjin got up, moved his fat body over to welcome him with a smile and said, "Sir Shangguan, you are indeed a good person. You look even better in these clothes!"


    Shangguan Liang''s jade-like face reddened slightly as he smiled and said, "Miss Qiao, you sure are joking."


    He entered the room and sat down. Looking at the cup of wine in front of him, he smiled and said: "Why is Miss Qiao so sure that I will definitely come?"


    Qiao Liangjin was sitting across from Shangguan Liang at the moment, supporting his chin with both hands. He looked at Shangguan Liang with a smile and said, "Of course, because my father is here."


    Qiao Zheng''s face flushed when he heard Qiao Liangjin''s undisguised words. He hurriedly pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Sir Shangguan, please enter."


    Although Shangguan Liang was a bit more delicate and feminine, it seemed that he still had some guts. At the very least, he could easily chat with Qiao Zheng and deal with Qiao Liangjin''s infatuation.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly had a strange feeling. Could this Shangguan Liang in front of him be another chess piece of that dog-emperor?


    He toasted Shangguan Liang until he was drunk. Qiao Liangjin opened the door to let A-Bai take Shangguan Liang back before turning to Qiao Zheng with a smile. "Father, we can go back now."


    Walking out of the Fragrant Sky Tower, only then did Qiao Zheng realize that the sky was already darkening.


    When they reached the gate of the Prime Minister''s Estate, Qiao Liangjin alighted from the carriage. He shook the carriage slightly and held onto the purple smoke. He smiled bitterly, "I really can''t be blown around by the wind. I get drunk just by blowing on the wind. Father, I''m going back first."


    Qiao Zheng watched Qiao Lianjin return before entering the mansion. The butler walked over and said softly, "At noon, the First Madame left with the Third Miss and Fourth Miss. The Young Master was left behind by the Old Madam."


    Qiao Zheng only gave a light "Oh" before heading to the study room.


    Qiao Liangjin''s spirits were raised. Once he entered the room, he grabbed the little fox who was licking her fur and said with a smile, "Yuesheng... I''m back! "


    The little fox unhappily glanced at the drunken woman and used its claws to cover its nose, indicating that it despised her.


    Qiao Liangjin was somewhat happy for no reason. He pointed at the little fox''s nose and said: "This Prime Minister''s residence will definitely be a lot calmer these days. As for me, I can safely wait for the new year to come. "


    He then threw the little fox onto the beauty bed, taking off his oversized clothes and laid on the bed on his back.


    As soon as he turned, he fell into a deep sleep.


    In her dreams, she was a little restless. She dreamt of a huge black hole, the red dress, standing at the side of the black hole and smiling at her. That smile of hers that could topple nations was full of farewell.


    Suddenly opening her eyes, Qiao Liangjin sat up. It had been five days since she last received a letter. Something was not right.


    Thinking of this, she hurriedly put on her cloak and rushed to the door of Lu Li''s room barefoot.


    Ah Kuan''s voice came from inside, "Who is it?"


    "Where''s Lu Li?"


    As soon as he finished asking, the door opened. Lu Li stood at the door and asked, "What is your order, Princess?"


    "Something''s not right, something''s not right. I haven''t written to you in five days."


    Lu Li thought for a bit and said, "It should be nothing serious. I heard that they are doing a stealth mission. They should be able to contact them in a few days. Princess, please rest assured. The Seventh Prince''s kung fu is peerless."


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin feel relieved.


    Lu Li looked down and saw Qiao Liangjin''s bare feet, which were as white as jade, stepping on the cold ground. He was not aware of it and anxiously asked, "Princess, how come you are barefoot? What if he got sick? Hurry up and go back to rest. If there''s any news, this subordinate will definitely inform you in time. "


    Qiao Liangjin followed Lu Li''s gaze and realized that he was not wearing shoes. He turned around and ran back to his room. While he was running, he waved his hand and said, "Go to sleep."


    She went back to her room and laid down on her bed, wrapping her cold feet with a quilt. She was a bit surprised that she had lost her composure just now, because running into the middle of the night to ask questions was not her style. But now, whenever there was something to do with clearing up, she would lose her composure.


    Turning over and sighing once again, Qiao Liangjin thought of Ning Ying. It seemed that he hadn''t thought of Ning Ying in a long time. How was Ning Ying? What was she doing? She seemed to have forgotten all about it.


    Qiao Liangjin bit his finger and thought of the tall red coral tree in the yard. He thought of the dugout on the mountain and then reprimanded himself, "You took someone''s things and didn''t even greet them. This is truly outrageous!"


    Thinking of this, Qiao Liangjin got off the bed, walked over to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and took out the green flute. Thinking of this, Qiao Liangjin got off the bed, walked over to the dresser, opened the drawer, and took out the green flute.


    In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study, Su Shun picked up a letter and read it carefully. He then called over a eunuch with an ordinary face, lit the letter on fire, threw it on the ground and said softly, "That little girl from the Prime Minister''s Palace cannot be underestimated. Deal with Zhang Zhonghan''s matter well, don''t leave any hidden troubles."


    The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and promised, "I have already informed the Great Sima of this matter. The Great Sima knew of the power of this matter. He will definitely make arrangements. Please rest assured, your Majesty."


    "Now that the little girl from the Qiao family has her eyes on Zhang Zhonghan, don''t make a move yet," Su Shun tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Find a way to get rid of that Li character and don''t leave any traces behind."


    Inside the county governor''s mansion, behind a pink veil, Yu Linglong was sitting up straight, and a masked man was sitting next to her.


    Yu Ling''s finger lightly moved across an envelope and asked: "Are you sure that the hitman you hired will be able to kill Qiao Liangjin this time?" "Every time I say yes, but every time, I can see that Qiao Liangjin is very happy."


    The masked man smiled and said, "If it weren''t for the fact that Seventh Prince''s secret guard is nearby, I''m afraid her soul would have already returned to hell. Princess, you''re too impatient."


    Yu Linglong''s finger paused as her expression changed. She gently bit her lower lip and said coldly, "She really does have such a skill. For Su Qing to treat her like this ¡­"


    The masked man didn''t know the grudge between them, so he didn''t say much. Yu Linglong frowned and asked: "When is the Spring Festival?"


    The masked man replied, "There are only eight more days until the Spring Festival."


    "Alright, you can go handle this. In short, I want Qiao Liangjin dead within the first month. Do you hear me? She''s alive, and I always feel uneasy... That Nangong was really a fool. He couldn''t help her in any way, so he was rather jealous. Hateful Su Ming, just what did you see in Qiao Liangjin! "


    "Perhaps the Seventh Prince was really drugged, which was why he was so infatuated with Qiao Liangjin. Perhaps he had seen those girls before, those idiotic women, so he ¡­"


    "Shut up!"


    The masked man was shocked as he looked at Yu Linglong in shock. Her words were filled with dissatisfaction towards clearing up the situation, and he was the one who wanted to condemn her for clearing up the place. How could he not listen?


    "Trouble comes from the mouth!" "Don''t speak nonsense in the future." Yu Ling smiled sinisterly.


    The masked man wanted to continue speaking, but he didn''t dare to say anything. After a moment of thought, Yu Linglong placed the letter on the table, stood up and said, "I don''t care. I''m going to the Southern Kingdom to clean up, so I don''t believe ¡­"


    Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a bell came from outside the door. Someone reported, "Princess, Princess Nangong requests an audience."


    Yu Linglong put away the envelope, and gave a look to the masked man, who touched the ceiling beam.


    Only then did Yu Linglong reply coldly, "It''s already midnight. If there''s anything you want, we can talk about it tomorrow." This princess is a bit tired these days. "


    Nangong''s clear laughter rang out, "Elder sister, what are you talking about? A guest came into your room just now. I didn''t see him leave. "What''s the matter, how can you be unwilling to let your sister know?"


    Right after she said that, Yu Linglong opened the door with a smile that could not reach the bottom of her heart, "Sister, what are you talking about? "Who doesn''t know that other than the eunuchs and maids, there is no one else in the princess'' mansion who doesn''t know where the man comes from?"


    Nan Gong smiled and asked: "Big sister just said that my body isn''t very agile and I don''t feel well? Why don''t you let your little sister check your pulse? Our Southern Kingdom''s medical skills are renowned throughout the world. "My sister''s medical skills may not be as good as Prince Ning''s, but she''s still a bit confident in her ability to treat ordinary illnesses."


    Yu Linglong put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "Sister, you''re not sleeping at this hour, do you have something to tell me? "Why don''t you come in? It''s colder outside."


    After she finished saying that, she let him in. Nangong then entered.


    Seeing that Yu Linglong had closed the door, Nangong sat at the masked man''s seat and smiled: "This place is still warm, it seems that this person has not left for long." He looked around the room.


    Yu Linglong''s expression turned serious. She threw her robe back and smiled: "Princess Nangong, this lineup makes Linglong think that they are here to catch a traitor."


    Nan Gong was startled, he touched his head and suddenly laughed: "Really? Ha ha-ha, no, no. " However, his eyes were already scanning every nook and cranny.


    Just as her eyes were about to sweep across the roof, Yu Linglong suddenly pushed down the teacup. Seeing that Nangong had retracted his gaze, she smiled lightly and said, "Look, sister, sister is a little tired. I can''t even hold the teacup properly anymore ¡­"


    Only then did Nangong react. He was only hinting at her to leave. He could only make two ''oh oh'' sounds and stood up unwillingly. Then, he bid his farewell and left the room.


    After thinking about it, she felt a bit uncomfortable. It was not that she did not know that if she did not have someone to rely on in Xuanyuan Kingdom, she would not be staying under the same roof with her love rival.


    If she found out that Yu Linglong was being improper, then according to the royal family''s rules, this Yu Linglong would definitely not be able to get married, so not only did she have to deal with Qiao Liangjin, she had to deal with Yu Linglong as well.


    She really couldn''t think of a better way. She was a little afraid of Qiao Liangjin, but she had some confidence in Yu Linglong.

 C119 Send to Warm Clothes

    After all, he had been stabbed in the neck by Qiao Liangjin, and she was certain that Qiao Liangjin had tried to kill her that day. If it wasn''t for Nan Li, she would have died a long time ago.


    Touching the neck that was almost cut open, Nangong retracted his neck.


    As the chaotic Spring Festival was about to arrive, Qiao Liangjin started to worry.


    There were only three days left before the Spring Festival, but she heard that Yu Linglong had requested to go to the Southern Kingdom. It was said that she was going to the army with an order, so she wasn''t stupid, how could she not know that this was a special arrangement by the Emperor?


    He did not know why, but he felt slightly sour in his heart and felt an indescribable sense of loss. Shaking her head, Qiao Liangjin picked up the silver white robe that was carefully made with makeup and slowly opened it.


    The silver robe was embroidered with a light gold crescent moon at the cuffs and collar. Qiao Liangjin could even imagine how dazzling this robe would be after it was wrapped around one''s body. After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade flute from the dressing table and blew it lightly.


    The flute didn''t seem to make a sound. Qiao Liangjin played it a few more times, but there was still no sound. He tapped his palm against his lips and played it a few more times. Still no sound.


    Qiao Liangjin put the flute back into the dresser and sighed. "It really is a fake."


    After informing the servant girl, he took advantage of the darkness to flip out of the wall and rush straight towards the auspicious and peaceful residence.


    Arriving at the Peace House, she looked up and saw that there was still candlelight in Bai Wu''s room. Without much effort, she jumped up to the second floor and climbed up to the fourth floor with her bare hands before glancing at the door on the balcony.


    The door on the balcony opened, and Bai Wu looked at Qiao Liangjin in surprise.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the bag on his back and smiled, "It''s the new year, I''ll send you some clothes."


    Bai Wuyi had a look of understanding as he made way for Qiao Liangjin to enter the room.


    It was as warm as spring in Bai Wu''s room. Qiao Liangjin scanned the room and found that there were two more pots of flowers. She went over in surprise and carefully examined the flowers before asking, "What kind of flowers are these? You actually know how to raise flowers? Where did you find them?"


    Bai Wu smiled lightly as he took off the bag on her back and placed it on the table. He then poured himself another cup of tea and replied, "I was growing flowers in the chrysanthemum restaurant, but you didn''t notice it when you were in the mortal room."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded, he stood up and sat at the table, drank a mouthful of tea and smiled: "Why haven''t you rested yet, could it be that you''re waiting for me? This room is still warm. Are you used to it? "


    Bai Wu smiled faintly. "It was all thanks to Miss Qiao''s good fortune ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s face turned fierce. "You''re still calling me Miss Qiao?"


    Bai Wu was stunned, then he remembered the matter of Qiao Liangjin making him change his words a few days ago. Somehow, his face turned red and his voice also became softer, "Liangjin ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin patted the back of Bai Wu''s hand in satisfaction and said with a smile, "That''s more like it."


    He opened his bag, took out his robe and handed it over to Bai Wu.


    Bai Wu Chen looked at the white robe and saw the crescent moon. He was startled and asked, "Why did you embroider a crescent moon?"


    "I feel that you are the same as the moonlight: bright, clean, and as bright as the sun, yet cold." Qiao Liangjin slowly said.


    Bai Wu smiled faintly as he kept the white robe and said, "If you ever see one, you can look up at the moonlight if you miss me."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he quickly hit the ground three times and insisted on letting Bai Wu also do the same three times.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin relax his facial expression and smile, "This is a habit of my hometown, on good days, you can''t say such unlucky things. If you say it, you have to say it three times, then you have to say it like a child."


    Bai Wuxiu laughed and shook his head, saying, "You are really weird."


    The two of them suddenly became silent. After a while, Qiao Lianjin asked: "Why did your heart hurt that day? "Bai Wu ¡­"


    "I''m fine, I''m really fine." Bai Wu continued with his relaxed demeanor as he got up and walked to the door, turning to ask, "Do you want to eat something? I called Red Dust up to make you some food. "


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand when he heard Red Dust''s name. Come on, Red Dust would look at him with his vertical nose and eyes. If he got up to make a supper for him, maybe he would poison him.


    He got up and walked to the door of the balcony. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "I will come for the new year. Prepare the New Year''s Eve meal."


    Bai Wu''s cold face instantly revealed a hint of happiness as he nodded his head in agreement.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin leave his room and jump off the balcony.


    Qiao Liangjin could feel that the zhenqi in his body was flowing unceasingly. Originally, it had been rather difficult for her to go down from the second floor to the fourth floor. But now, flying down from the fourth floor wasn''t a problem anymore.


    He didn''t know how much longer he would have to practice before he could clean himself up. Thinking about how Yu Linglong was running to clean up, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach.


    He lightly brushed past the eaves of the house and arrived at the back door of the Prime Minister''s Residence within a few moments. Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to jump onto the wall, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.


    Qiao Liangjin was shocked. He turned around and sent a palm flying.


    The figure took a few steps back, dodging Qiao Liangjin''s attack, and explained: "Miss Qiao, don''t... "Your subordinate is Prince Ning''s secret guard."


    Qiao Liangjin, who was about to pull out a dagger from his boot, stopped and asked in surprise, "How did you find me?"


    That figure chuckled and said, "I heard the sound of the jade flute. I believe that something must have happened to Miss Qiao so I came over." It just so happened that Miss Qiao went to the Mourning Court and this subordinate went with her as well. At the same time, I helped you deal with three assassins. "


    "Assassin?"


    "Yes, three poor assassins. But it has already been settled. Miss Qiao, do you have any orders? " The figure answered truthfully without the slightest feeling of wanting to claim credit.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly remembered that he played that dumb jade flute before he left and asked curiously: "I didn''t hear that flute, how did you guys hear it?"


    That figure smiled and said, "Only we can hear the sound of that jade flute."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly remembered that he had learned that some people could specifically accept a certain frequency band and could hear sounds that others couldn''t. This was probably the theory behind this.


    "It''s nothing. I just wanted to ask you, how is Prince Ning?" Qiao Liangjin patted his boots and stood up straight.


    The figure nodded and replied, "Your highness is well. The war is urgent now, but your subordinate will still be alerted to protect Miss."


    Qiao Liangjin then let out a sigh of relief and waved his hand, "It''s alright, go back and forth from where you came from. Don''t follow me in protecting her. "I''m fine."


    The figure smiled and said, "Your subordinate''s name is Laifu. If there is anything else you need me to do, you can play the flute and I will take my leave."


    "Laifu ¡­" Qiao Liangjin almost couldn''t hold back her laughter when she heard this name. Back in the days when she watched Zhou Xingchi''s movie, this name appeared at the highest frequency. Now that she heard someone''s name, Lai Fu, she almost burst out laughing.


    When Qiao Liangjin returned to the Flowergold Pavilion, he couldn''t help but laugh out loud, causing the little fox to transform into its human form. It then stared at Qiao Liangjin, who was laughing so hard that he was about to roll around, with a mysterious look in his eyes.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the two goblins and laughed non-stop. He kept laughing until tears were about to fall and only then did he stop. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Before, I ¡­ Did I tell you... Only the dog''s name is Laifu... Today, he met a dark guard who also called him Fu ¡­ "Hahahahaha."


    Although the two little imps didn''t understand the situation, they were amused by Qiao Liangjin''s laughter and started laughing as well.


    After the three maids had all arrived, Qiao Liangjin started to talk about the origin of the name ''Laifu'' vividly. It wasn''t until everyone understood what was going on that they started to laugh along with her.


    Qiao Liangjin laid on the bed and used the wind from his palm to extinguish the candle. He thought about Bai Wuyi''s somewhat sorrowful words. If he was not here today, he would look at the moon and miss him ¡­ Why was Bai Wuyun always so sad, why did he always feel that he wouldn''t be able to live for long?


    Bai Wu knew martial arts. She wasn''t surprised at all, but what surprised her was that since he knew martial arts, why was his body so weak? As long as Hong Chen saw her, she would have an expression that would make her want to say something but was unable to.


    He turned over and closed his eyes. ''Forget it. I''ll just leave the future matters to you.''


    On New Year''s Eve, there were red lanterns hanging from the top of the house, making the place seem exceptionally festive. Qiao Liangjin put on the new clothes that Guo Caiting had prepared for him, and went to pay his respects to the madame.


    The madame''s body was getting worse and worse. She could only lean against the bed and rest. She didn''t even have the strength to go down to the ground. Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up slightly. There were a few poisons in the world that she did not know about.


    She had used a handkerchief to press Tian Zhu''s powder on the Old Mistress'' face that day. As time passed, the Old Mistress'' body would slowly weaken, but no one expected that it was herself who had poisoned her. The Old Mistress'' aggressive face made her want to vomit whenever she thought about it.


    Arriving at the madame''s door, he heard her berating someone else. This time, the one she berated was actually Qiao Maoshan''s concubine.


    Qiao Liangjin did not have a deep impression of Qiao Maoshan''s concubine and had always heard that she lived in a different house. Lin Fanli was a tigress and she had already allowed Qiao Maoshan to marry, but it was definitely not easy for her to enter.


    He had long since heard that this concubine had an enchanting figure and was originally the servant girl beside the madame. She had used a great number of methods to seduce Qiao Mao Shan and became a concubine.


    To be able to see this legendary little white flower this year was truly a blessing in disguise.


    Wen''er, who was standing outside the door, said in a high-pitched voice, "Eldest Miss has arrived."


    The door opened, and Yun Chu smiled happily and said, "Greetings, young miss. Greetings, young miss."

 C120 Great Change

    Qiao Liangjin took out a red packet from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Chu, then he smiled and said, "Good good good, this is the red packet. It''s the new year, let''s celebrate it together."


    Yun Chu was slightly shocked, then stared blankly at her while holding the red packet. She did not understand what the red packet meant.


    Qiao Liangjin walked straight to the side of the madame''s bed and said, "The madame is in good health. Happy New Year."


    The old mistress glanced at Qiao Lianjin and said in a neutral tone, "Ankang? "My body is getting worse and worse ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin did not let her continue speaking. Before going up, he paid his respects to Qiao Maoshan and Lin Fangli, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt is happy New Year and everything goes according to your wishes."


    He then looked at an unfamiliar woman standing beside Qiao Maoshan. Her facial features were indeed picturesque, and her figure was bewitching. Even the winter cotton robe could not cover up her sexy body. She greeted him with a smile, "Aunt, happy new year."


    This bow caused the woman to hurriedly support Qiao Liangjin and say: "I don''t dare, Miss, you are being too polite."


    Qiao Liangjin simply smiled and waved at Jose Yuan, who was already waiting for her.


    Qiao Siyuan immediately ran over and hugged Qiao Liangjin''s waist. He smiled and said, "Happy New Year, elder sister."


    Qiao Liangjin then took out a jade ornament carved with a luxurious Peace Bamboo and tied it around his waist. He smiled and said, "This is your Peace Bamboo. I hope he can keep you safe."


    Of the people in this room, other than the ones she didn''t like, she didn''t hide anything and gave them New Year''s presents.


    After Qiao Liangjin left, Wen''er pulled Yun Chu and asked, "What did Eldest Miss give you?"


    Yun Chu shook his head and opened the red packet. Inside the red packet was a small golden leaf. Yun Chu immediately covered his mouth.


    That Wen''er''s eyes were on the verge of bleeding. Who would have thought that Qiao Liangjin would be so generous? She said sourly, "It seems that big miss has treated you pretty well."


    Yun Chu quickly wrapped up the red packet and headed out the door, saying, "We can''t accept this gift, it''s too expensive. I''m a slave, how can I take such a precious thing?"


    That Wen''er snatched the red packet and said with a pout, "You don''t want it? I want it!"


    Yun Chu was about to snatch it away when he heard Wen''er''s "Ya" sound. She squatted on the ground and raised her head after a long while. The side of her face had somehow swelled up.


    Wen''er angrily handed the red packet to Yun Chu. She then said with dissatisfaction, "What kind of evil thing is this? I don''t want it."


    Not far away, Qiao Liangjin was sitting on a jujube tree leisurely. He held a stone in his hand and aimed it at Wen''er.


    Recently, she had been too idle. She had nothing better to do, so she wandered around the Prime Minister''s Estate doing a lot of things that justice envoys did.


    The meal was tasteless, Qiao Liangjin was no longer interested in eating anything delicious as he watched Qiao Maoshan and Lin Fangli eat. After bowing to Qiao Zheng for the new year, he returned to his Flower Mansion.


    She remembered that she had promised Bai Wu that she would go to Xianghe Residence and have a reunion dinner with him.


    Lu Li changed his clothes and was about to climb over the wall when he stood behind Qiao Liangjin with a pale face. He called out to Qiao Liangjin with a trembling voice, "Princess ¡­"


    Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to climb up the wall, he heard Lu Li''s voice coming from behind him. He turned around and cursed, "Don''t you know that people can scare people to death?"


    "Seventh Prince." Lu Li''s lips were trembling.


    "Fu? Red? That damn pervert always wears red, what''s there to say about that. " Qiao Liangjin turned around and prepared to climb the wall.


    "Princess!" Clang! Seventh Prince is dead! " Lu Li was almost shouting out loud.


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned. He looked back at Lu Li and his body instantly turned cold.


    She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "It''s the new year, what nonsense are you talking about ¡­"


    Lu Li fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice, "Princess..." The prince is dead... The prince is dead ¡­ "


    Qiao Liangjin looked up at the sky. The sky had already darkened. Bai Wuya was waiting for him to go eat dinner. She wanted to go to the Mourning Hall, but after using her hands and feet a few times, she was unable to climb over that short wall.


    She squatted on the ground in distress and scratched the top of her head with her hands, saying, "How could I be so easily affected? I can''t climb this wall now, no ¡­" I''m going out. "


    She stood up again and climbed up to the wall with her hands and legs, but her hands and feet were shaking with all their might. The wall was now like an abyss in front of her.


    She hugged her body and crouched down again. Her lips began to tremble. How could that damn freak die ¡­ "If everyone in the world dies, she won''t die ¡­"


    She stood up shakily and walked towards the room. The two who were busy with their work stopped and asked with a smile, "Why are you back?"


    Lu Li followed behind Qiao Liangjin, his face pale.


    Dai Di and Zi Yan finally felt that something was wrong. They supported Qiao Liangjin and asked, "Miss ¡­"


    "He said that the Seventh Prince died, right?" Qiao Liangjin pointed at Lu Li and asked.


    Dai and Zi Yan''s face finally changed. They looked at Lu Li and asked, "What happened? Don''t you dare scare our Young Miss! "


    Lu Li seemed to be trying to calm himself down, trying his best to hold back his tears. He answered, "To fall into the Eastern Kingdom''s ambush. A thousand cavalry and princes ¡­" "The entire army has been annihilated ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly laughed, and his laughter was very bright, like a summer flower. He suddenly stopped laughing and asked: "If you are alive, you have to see people, if you want to die, you have to see corpses. My rules. "


    Lu Li lowered his head and the big teardrop fell to the ground. After a long while, he said hoarsely, "I''m on my way back. I have to make sure ¡­"


    Like a bolt of thunder, it resounded through Qiao Liangjin''s sky. His body swayed and he lost consciousness.


    On the night of the thirtieth of the new year, thunder rumbled above the imperial city, and all the citizens went out to see the strange phenomenon in the sky.


    Qiao Liangjin woke up in the latter half of the night and stared blankly at the ceiling. It was as if she had lost all consciousness, her mind was filled with that red-clothed evildoer''s smile, his embrace, his smell, that deep underwater kiss.


    How could that be? How could a perfectly fine person suddenly die? Qiao Liangjin closed her eyes. She would not admit that he was dead.


    Thunder rumbled outside again.


    Qiao Liangjin recalled what the ancients had said before. If an important character died, there would be a strange scene in the sky. Was the constant rumbling reminding?


    She suddenly jumped up, ran out the door, pointed at the sky and roared: "Shut up! laozi still hasn''t f * cking said he''s dead, but what the f * ck are you doing here? "


    Violet Smoke Powder and Rulan, who were serving at the side, hurriedly followed Qiao Liangjin out. They wanted to pull her back into the room, afraid that Qiao Liangjin''s scolding would arouse the wrath of the heaven and earth.


    He did not expect that the thunderclap would be silently blown away by Qiao Liangjin''s scolding.


    The three maidservants pulled Qiao Liangjin back to the room and pressed her down, telling her to lie down.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin laid down, he suddenly sat up and began to put on his clothes and shoes. He muttered: "I cannot break my promise, I cannot break my promise."


    Ruo Lan pulled Qiao Liangjin along and asked in astonishment: "Miss, where are you going?"


    "Peace Court, Bai Wuya, wait for me. I promised him ¡­"


    Bai Wu Chen''s voice came from outside the door, "Liangjin."


    Qiao Liangjin had never been so eager to see someone before. She pointed at the door and shouted, "Hurry, hurry and open the door ¡­"


    Ruo Lan ran to open the door, and Bai Wu stepped into Qiao Liangjin''s room.


    That moon-white robe made the entire room light up.


    Qiao Liangjin ran towards Bai Wu and threw himself into his arms. Her voice was a little frightened as she said, "They said he died, but they said he died. Bai Wu, do you know? Do you believe that? "


    Bai Wu lightly patted Qiao Liangjin''s back without saying anything.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly remembered that he was going to the Mascot, so he said apologetically: "I''m sorry ¡­" I missed my appointment. "


    "No, I''m here. You can''t be considered to have missed your appointment." Bai Wu Qing patted the girl in his embrace gently.


    When the three maids saw that Bai Wuchen had entered, they quietly left the room.


    "Bai Wu ¡­" "He''s dead." After a while, Qiao Liangjin''s voice started to sound choked up.


    Bai Wuqing gently carried Qiao Liangjin, who was barefoot, to the bedside. He placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Then, he gently raised his sleeves to wipe away her tears.


    She didn''t need to say anything. What she needed was company, and what he could do was accompany.


    Qiao Liangjin burst into tears. When a warm feeling came from the back of her heart, she suddenly woke up. She shook her head and said, "Bai Wu ¡­ "Don''t use your inner force."


    Bai Wu smiled indifferently, "I don''t have any internal energy, so don''t worry, I will help the best."


    Qiao Liangjin stopped his weeping and looked at Bai Wu uncertainly. He tilted his head and asked, "... You don''t think he''s dead, do you? "


    A hint of pain flashed in Bai Wuhei''s eyes, but he nodded his head. His feelings were no longer important, and he desperately tried to hold back his heartache.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were red and swollen. He stopped crying and looked at Bai Wuyi with relief. "Thank you ¡­"


    Bai Wu shook his head, got up and twisted the handkerchief, and applied it to Qiao Liangjin''s swollen red eyes. He looked down at Qiao Liangjin''s cherry red lips, and felt dizzy.


    Some people encountered each other for the sole purpose of paying their debts.


    His fingers brushed past Qiao Liangjin''s sleeping points and lifted the handkerchief. His voice became more and more pleasant to the ear, "I''ve been waiting for you for a very long time, I never thought that I would lose in the end. However, as long as you''re happy, I''m happy. "


    He turned his head and saw Silver Fox''s burning gaze on him. He smiled and said, "Don''t worry. Hong Chen and I will never hurt your master."


    The little fox, Yu Sheng, lowered his head. When he raised his head again, the jade-green light had already disappeared.


    Bai Wu continued to look at Qiao Liangjin, his finger lightly touched her forehead and smiled. A ray of golden light flowed along Bai Wu''s finger and slowly entered between Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows. When the light disappeared, Bai Wu''s face turned even paler.


    The little fox shook its head. This person was truly sick. His body had already become like this, yet he was still taking care of Qiao Liangjin. He did not even hesitate to waste his life. He was really stupid.

 C121 Wait for Him to Come Back

    When Qiao Liangjin woke up, it was already past noon. She seemed to not remember what happened last night at all, so she called for Rulan, washed her face, and got dressed. She put on an angel dress, waved her arm and said, "We are leaving, we are going to harass the Seventh Prince at the entrance of the palace!"


    When the maids heard this, they were all stunned. As they looked at Qiao Liangjin, their faces were filled with love.


    Qiao Liangjin saw that none of them moved, and looked at his foolish appearance, and laughed: "What kind of expression are you guys showing? The Virgin Mary? We will set off now. Wait a moment, he will enter the palace. "


    Zi Yan could not bear to see that. She walked up and pulled Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve, saying: "Young miss ¡­." The prince, he ¡­ It''s gone. "


    Qiao Liangjin''s expression immediately turned sorrowful. She lowered her eyes and after a while, she said: "I know ¡­" But what if I did, and he came back? "He used to hate my infatuated look the most ¡­"


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, Ruo Lan couldn''t help but burst into tears. Everyone in the courtyard started to sob softly.


    Qiao Liangjin wiped his nose with his sleeve, raised his arm and shouted: "What are we sad about? What are we crying for? We have to wait for that pervert to come back. He''s so motherly, so what?


    Qiao Liangjin swung his arm and shouted. He raised his delicate chin as tears rolled down his cheeks and slid down his face from the corner of his eyes. Then, they silently fell to the ground next to his thin cheeks.


    The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. The sound of the wind and the faint rumbling could almost have caused the citizens of the Royal City to think it was summer if not for the thick cotton robe he was wearing and the coals burning in his house.


    Very few people knew that the Seventh Prince had met with calamity. They only felt that there must be some kind of demon that had appeared out of nowhere due to the strange weather.


    Qiao Liangjin stubbornly stood at the entrance of the Imperial Palace with his hands in his sleeves and his head lowered. She was thinking about how many mornings that coquettish man in red had once stood there, his red robes fluttering in the wind, bright red like blood. The corners of the robe fluttered in the wind, tied around his waist with a white jade belt. His exquisite chin was slightly raised.


    His thin lips were always slightly pursed as he looked at himself making a ruckus. It was hard to say what his emotions were. His eyes roamed around as he stared at Qiao Liangjin with a joyful expression.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled as he thought about it. He knew that he had fallen into depravity. She had thought that it was unintentional, and that there was no need for him to be moved or moved by love.


    She was wrong, she was too selfish. She took all that she had done for herself for granted. She had never even thought of repayment. As he gently touched his arm, the red Mandala''s mark remained as clear as ever. This was probably the last memorial he left in the world.


    Raising her head, after the thunder in the sky died down, large snowflakes started to float out, smashing onto her face one by one.


    The onlookers had never seen Qiao Liangjin in such sorrow before. They thought they could see how he was going to take liberties with the new Minister. However, Qiao Liangjin just stood there, ignoring the officials who came and went.


    It was only when Qiao Zheng left the imperial court and saw him standing alone at the spot where he used to enjoy standing that his heart ached. He went over to pull Qiao Liangjin and said in a small voice, "Jin''er, your majesty the prince has his own destiny."


    Qiao Liangjin withdrew his somewhat unfocused gaze and finally focused on Qiao Zheng''s face. He asked seriously, "Father, you also feel that the sultry man is not dead, right?"


    Qiao Zheng was dumbfounded, a sultry man? He smiled bitterly, "Yes, his martial arts is one of the best in the five continents. How could something happen to him? So His Majesty decided to keep it a secret. "


    Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin''s spirit was shaken again and he asked: "Then ¡­" "The one who came to the capital was ¡­"


    "Maybe it is, maybe it isn''t, but His Majesty invited Grandmaster Guan Xing to take a look. The Grandmaster said that he can''t see the Fate Plate clearly." Qiao Zheng repeated the words of the emperor to Qiao Liangjin in a low voice.


    These words gave Qiao Liangjin, who had fallen into despair, a sliver of hope. She wiped her face carelessly and suddenly broke into a smile. She wrapped her arms around Qiao Zheng''s arm and walked towards the carriage with a smile.


    This round of sorrow and joy caused Qiao Zheng to feel uneasy, thinking that his daughter had gone insane from the shock. Her previously sorrowful appearance had now become so lively and lively.


    Qiao Liangjin got on the carriage. After the coachman put down the curtain and drove the carriage, Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath and said, "I want to go to the Southern Kingdom."


    "Impossible!" When Qiao Zheng heard this, he immediately interrupted Qiao Liangjin.


    "I want to go to the Southern Kingdom. I''m not discussing this with my father, but I''m informing him." Qiao Liangjin''s gaze was resolute as he looked at Qiao Zheng.


    Qiao Zheng was tongue-tied as he did not know what to say to persuade Qiao Liangjin. Last time, she went to Sheng Cheng alone and found Qiao Ruo Ying. It was not that he did not know.


    He also knew that even though the daughter in front of him was usually very good at messing around, she never talked too much on big issues. He couldn''t stop her from doing what she wanted to do.


    Qiao Liangjin approached Qiao Zheng as if he was coaxing a child. He patted his arm and lightly rested his head on Qiao Zheng''s shoulder, his voice becoming much softer. "Father, I know that you are worried about your daughter. Your daughter is going to the Southern Kingdom, and it is unknown how long she will take to return.


    Qiao Zheng gave a deep sigh and said helplessly: "I am not worried about my own matters. Your father has been in the government for so many years, so what kind of storm have I not seen before?" "But you, a daughter of yours ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin looked up and smiled, "No worries, I will bring Ziyan with me. Bai and Kuan will be leaving the house, and Seventh Prince''s secret guard will also be by my side. You have to take care of Third Madame." I will only be at ease if she is in the Prime Minister''s Estate. "


    Qiao Zheng nodded and patted Qiao Liangjin''s head lovingly. His voice was filled with infinite helplessness. "The family has a daughter who has just grown up."


    Qiao Liangjin returned to the Flowermoney Pavilion and started preparing. She thought for a moment before putting on her thick battle gown. Since Yu Linglong was now in the Southern Kingdom, she didn''t want her to see her like this.


    When Pink and Roulan heard that Qiao Liangjin was only carrying Purple Smoke this time, they tearfully followed by Qiao Liangjin''s side, wanting her to bring them along.


    Qiao Liangjin packed his bag, looked at Pink and Ran and sighed. He stood up, patted both of their shoulders and said: "Your tasks are also very important, you have to protect my brother and Xin Ting ¡­"


    Glancing at the little fox who was rubbing his belly on the beauty bed, she pointed at the little fox and said, "I will also take that away, leaving behind the Spirit Swirls. You all must take good care of the Spirit Swirls."


    Upon hearing this, the little fox, Yuesheng, got up with a roll, jumped down from the beauty bed, and transformed into a human figure. She protested, "Why should I risk my life with you? Why should I!"


    Qiao Liangjin sneered, "Are you going or not?"


    Yuesheng looked at Qiao Liangjin''s ice-cold eyes and the smile on her lips did not have the slightest trace of warmth. Her confidence that she had always been confident vanished as she muttered to herself, "Are you that fierce ¡­"


    Zi Yan had prepared a table full of good dishes, and Ah Kuan went out to find Qiao Ruoyin. When Qiao Ruo Ying entered and smelled the fragrance, she smiled and said, "Sister, today''s dishes are really sumptuous."


    Qiao Liangjin waved and indicated for Qiao Ruo Ying to sit down. He poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Qiao Ruo Ying as he smiled and said, "Big brother, you should take care of the teahouse when I''m not here, and if there''s anything in the mansion that requires your help, go. If there''s anything that you''re unsure of, discuss it with Third Madame."


    Qiao Ruo Ying sipped her wine and felt that there was something wrong with Qiao Liangjin''s words. She put down her wine cup and asked, "Why do you say this?"


    "I want to go to the Southern Kingdom." Qiao Liangjin replied quietly.


    Qiao Ruo Ying placed her wine cup on the table. She lowered her head and placed her hands on her knees. She gently caressed them. She didn''t make a sound for a long time, but her thoughts were unknown.


    After a while, he seemed to have made a decision. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Liangjin, "I will go too."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. His red and swollen eyes were filled with understanding. She laughed for a while and said: "Big brother, I''ll let you use one hand. See if you can beat me first."


    Qiao Ruo Ying was stunned. She was speechless. It was not that he didn''t know his sister''s abilities. The only thing he could do now was to do the same as his father, silently allow his sister to go out.


    Qiao Liangjin drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp. He looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked with a hint of jealousy: "You''re going to clean up the mess, right?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s chopsticks didn''t stop. She wanted to eat more and then bid farewell to Bai Wuwu. Tomorrow at dawn, she would be leaving. She would be very busy tonight.


    Hearing Qiao Ruo Ying''s question, the corner of her lips curled up as she smiled and said, "The Southern Kingdom is quite warm. Let''s go take a look."


    He burped and stood up, his body swaying slightly. He pointed at his own nose and smiled bitterly, "Brother, are you really that useless? You can''t even protect your own sister, and you still need to find your own younger sister."


    Qiao Liangjin knew that Qiao Ruoyin had drank too much, and had been brooding over what had happened in Shengcheng. She gave Kuan a look, and Kuan went over to support her.


    Qiao Ruo Ying steadied her feet and turned to look at Kuan and Qiao Liangjin. She said helplessly, "Brother is useless, but brother will be fine soon. Sister, please take care."


    As he finished speaking, he pushed Ah Kuan away and walked out of the pavilion with a slight tilt of his body.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at his wine cup and thought for a moment. In the end, he raised his teacup and drank two sips before he prepared to go to the Peace House.


    Walking into the courtyard, they heard the sound of small footsteps coming from outside the door. Qiao Liangjin gestured for Bai to open the door, and outside stood Guo Caiting and Qiao Xinting.


    Seeing Qiao Liangjin standing in the courtyard wearing a black uniform, Guo Caiting looked at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment. He seemed to be three to four laps thinner than usual. Was this Qiao Liangjin?


    Qiao Liangjin waved towards the mother and daughter, gesturing for them to come in.

 C122 Long Road

    Only then did Guo Caiting repress her surprise, walking over with a handful of things in her hands. He handed the item over to Zi Yan, and then looked at Qiao Liangjin up and down, and asked, "Jin''er ¡­" "You ¡­"


    Qiao Xinting could not conceal the shock within her heart as she asked, "Wa, big sister, your body ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin no longer planned to hide himself from the mother and daughter pair. He stretched out his arms, spun around, and said with a smile, "How is it?"


    Guo Caiting''s eyes were filled with surprise as she nodded, "That''s great, that''s great. Jin''er, you''re so beautiful. Just like your mother. "


    Her admiration for Qiao Liangjin had already reached the point of prostrating herself to the ground. Ever since the last incident, Qiao Xinting had been studying even more seriously, learning Qiao Liangjin''s behavior bit by bit. She had even started to read the dull and incomprehensible Military Strategy book.


    Guo Caiting pointed to the bag and said, "This is the cotton robe I sewed for you, and there''s a piece of duck down there. Xin Ting told me that you told me that the duck hair was very warm, so I started to look for it. I originally wanted to give it to you last night, but you left in a hurry after eating."


    Qiao Liangjin stared at Guo Caiting and her daughter in shock. In this era, it was extremely difficult to find and rework the duck feathers and then sew them into a robe.


    Guo Caiting smiled shyly and said, "Just now, I heard the Lord Prime Minister say that you''re going out. If I had to take care of your courtyard as usual, I would''ve rushed over here." Then, he wiped the jade bracelet off his wrist and stuffed it into Qiao Liangjin''s palm.


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit baffled and asked, "What is this ¡­" Could it be a relic of my mother from the legends? "


    Guo Caiting was shocked for a moment. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Silly child, carry something to protect yourself. If you don''t have any money, you can put it in the pawnshop."


    Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at the jade bracelet in his hand. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stepped forward, hugged Guo Caiting, and gave her a fierce hug before letting go.


    Guo Caiting didn''t expect Qiao Liangjin to act like this. She was a little excited and started crying, causing Qiao Xinting to scold him, "Mom, Big Sis is just going out. It''s not good for you to cry like this."


    Guo Caiting smiled, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile, "I''m not as sensible as my family''s Xin Ting, it''s true."


    After sending off Guo Caiting and her daughter, Qiao Liangjin flipped his body and walked out of the Golden Flower Pavilion. When he arrived at the auspicious residence, the door was wide open. A white-robed Bai Wu sat in the hall, as if he had been waiting for someone.


    Qiao Liangjin entered and closed the door. He wiped the tip of his nose and said: "Your health is not good, you still dare to let the cold wind blow on you."


    "Just like the last time in Sheng Cheng, you''re going to the Southern Kingdom, right?" Bai Mo tapped the table lightly with his fingers.


    He poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. While rubbing the teacup with both hands, he said, "When I''m not around, Mascot must be made. I want to know everything in this capital that I shouldn''t know about."


    Bai Wuya''s finger suddenly paused, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, "I know that you won''t listen to my words, but I still want to persuade you. However, to the point where I can''t say anything ¡­ Forget it, I''ll stay in the capital. How about we have Hong Chen accompany you there? "


    Qiao Liangjin thought about that man who was not his noses and quickly waved his hand, "No need, forget it, I have brought many experts with me. They will be fine."


    Bai Wu raised his peach blossom eyes and looked at Qiao Lianjin. With a calm but firm voice, he said, "If you don''t let Hong Chen accompany you, then I will follow you."


    Qiao Liangjin furrowed his long brows and looked at Bai Wuyi. Bai Wuchen''s deep emotions did not seem to be a joke. She helplessly shook her head and said, "Fine, it''s fine for Hong Chen to follow, but he''s still unwilling."


    Bai Wuya replied with certainty, "No, this time, he is very willing."


    Qiao Liangjin bid farewell to Bai Wuxian. He squatted dejectedly on the roof of the Golden Flower Pavilion as the snow continued to fall. Not long later, her body was covered with a thick layer of snow.


    After a while, a voice came from behind her. "Princess, what are you doing squatting here?"


    Qiao Liangjin was startled. He turned around and saw Lu Li in black clothes squatting not far behind him. He asked in surprise, "When did you come?"


    "I was here before you." Lu Li forced a smile.


    "Then what are you doing here? Could it be that you''re lying there, preparing to peek at me taking a bath? " Qiao Liangjin said as he looked at Lu Li vigilantly.


    "¡­" The woman in front of him was as sad as a river last night, but now she looked like she was on stimulants, which made it difficult for Lu Li to adapt.


    "You should hurry up and go to sleep. Tomorrow, you should go with me to the Southern Kingdom." Qiao Liangjin stood up and slowly walked towards the eaves.


    "Miss Qiao, are you really sure that the prince is still alive?" Lu Li asked the question that was on his mind.


    Qiao Liangjin''s footsteps stopped. She looked at the lantern under the eaves. She didn''t know what the answer was, but she was willing to give it a try.


    She turned around and flew down from the roof. She shouted towards the sky, "Trust me, Uncle Lu Li!"


    The sky was still dark when Qiao Liangjin led the four of them onto the horse. She looked deeply at the door of the Prime Minister''s Residence for a moment before viciously riding her horse. Taking advantage of the night, they quickly left the Royal City.


    On the mountainside outside King''s City, a pure black horse was slowly circling around. Unexpectedly, what was on it was a black coloured speck of dust.


    Qiao Liangjin stopped his horse and looked at the red dust.


    Red Dust looked at Qiao Liangjin and raised his horsewhip, saying coldly, "What are you looking at, the journey is more important." The horsewhip landed on the black horse''s butt, and the black horse galloped ahead.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and raised his horsewhip as well, chasing after Hong Chen.


    Along the way, they arrived at a relay station late into the night. Qiao Liangjin brought Yu Sheng and Zi Yan to sleep in a single room.


    Zi Yan was preparing to sleep with Qiao Liangjin, but Qiao Liangjin pushed her hand away and gently shook his head, "It''s been hard on you too, don''t worry about me."


    Zi Yan immediately turned around and made the bed. She placed the clean bed sheets on top of the bed and went to the other bed. She put on her clothes and lay down. Not long later, she heard light snoring sounds.


    Qiao Liangjin also felt a slight pain in his thigh. After rubbing it, he stretched lazily on the bed and fell asleep while hugging Yu Sheng.


    The conditions of this inn were not as good as the inn. After a night of sleep, Qiao Liangjin actually felt that his nose wasn''t able to breathe well.


    Zi Yan was the one who understood Qiao Liangjin the most. Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s nasal tone, she nervously asked, "Miss, are you suffering from a cold?"


    Qiao Liangjin sniffed and laughed: "I have no choice, I can carry it on myself."


    After breakfast, they went back onto the road.


    After the afternoon had passed, Qiao Liangjin felt a little dizzy. She raised the back of her hand and touched her forehead. It seemed as if she was burning up. She grudgingly cursed a few times.


    Taking advantage of everyone''s rest time, Qiao Liangjin found the cold pill that he had brought for her from his bag and ate it in a few bites.


    "What?" Have you caught a cold? " Red Dust''s voice came from behind her.


    Qiao Liangjin quickly stuffed the medicine bottle back into his bag. He turned around and smiled. "Hongchen, why are you suddenly so concerned about others?"


    Hong Chen stared blankly for a moment and then sneered, "I''m afraid that you will die from illness before you find me. I can''t explain it."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at the sky. The venomous tongue of the mortal world had its own style. She waved her hand and giggled, "I won''t die even if you die. Don''t worry."


    Red Dust tossed over a random medicine bottle. Qiao Liangjin caught it and asked, "What?"


    Eat it. There is a village 50 miles away. When we arrive, we will stay there. We will not leave tomorrow. Hong Chen impatiently explained.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and silently cursed in his heart. In the end, he opened the bottle and took out a pill. He then placed it in his mouth.


    The moment the black pill entered his mouth, it was incomparably refreshing, as if it had already turned into water and flowed down his throat and into his stomach. In that instant, Qiao Liangjin felt as if his spleen and stomach were incomparably cool.


    When they arrived at the village mentioned by Red Dust, there was no one in the village. Red Dust led the horse to the tallest door in the village and entered as if he was very familiar with the place. He tied the horse in the yard and said, "All the people here have died, but this house is quite sturdy. It hasn''t collapsed in so many years."


    "So many years ¡­" Qiao Liangjin silently repeated as he followed Hong Chen into the yard.


    Red Dust''s ears were sharp and he heard Qiao Liangjin''s words. With a quick glance, he walked straight into the room.


    Qiao Liangjin tied up his horse and followed him into the room. There were three rooms in total, with a large stove in the middle of the room. On both sides of the room were bedrooms.


    Qiao Linjian Jin entered the east room and saw that the bed was a bit worn out and there was a faint musty smell coming from it.


    In the middle room, Ah Bai and Ah Kuan were already cleaning the stove and preparing to light a fire.


    After the fire was lit, Zi Yan said in surprise, "So this house is a fire kang. That''s great. Miss can sweat properly tonight, and you can get better soon due to the cold."


    The purple smoke collected the worn-out bedding and placed it in the middle of the room. Then, it spread the thin blanket over the already warm fire brick bed, insisting that Qiao Liangjin lay down.


    As soon as Qiao Liangjin''s body touched the fire brick bed, his entire body relaxed. Not long later, he fell into a deep sleep. In his dreams, he could vaguely feel someone touching his forehead while someone used a cold fingertip to feel his pulse.


    She didn''t know how long she slept until someone gently shook her arm. Only then did she open her eyes. She looked at the worried Zi Yan and smiled. "I slept for a long time."


    Zi Yan nodded worriedly. She pointed outside the window and said, "Miss, you slept for two days."


    Qiao Liangjin was surprised and hurriedly sat up. As he put on his shoes, he grumbled: "Why didn''t you wake me up? "We were delayed for two days."

 C123 Block the Road to See the Body

    Red Dust stood at the door, his loud voice blocking Qiao Liangjin''s path. His voice was still cold, just like the winter, "I woke up from my sleep, went to eat, and then we departed. I have already investigated, the Seventh Marquis'' corpse will arrive at the Willow Leaf Valley tomorrow."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face was drained of all color. She stood blankly on the spot with some fear in her heart. Tomorrow, would she be able to see a corpse that had been cleaned up?


    Zi Yan brought the bowl over. Qiao Liangjin took the bowl and started to eat. To her, time was her life and she needed to replenish her strength.


    Hong Chen looked coldly at Qiao Liangjin. After these two days of interaction, he could not help but start to have a whole new level of respect for this woman in front of him. Although she was the young lady of the Prime Minister''s Estate, she did not have the airs of a young lady. As long as she felt that it was the right thing to do, she would try her best to do it.


    After quickly wiping away the food in the bowl, Qiao Liangjin handed the bowl over to Zi Yan. He wiped the corner of his mouth and raised his head as he asked, "Can we leave now? When can we reach the Willow Valley? "


    "Let''s go. Tomorrow night, we will arrive at Willow Valley." Red Dust''s words were extremely simple.


    Without a word, Qiao Liangjin mounted his horse and followed the red dust in the direction of the Southern Kingdom.


    As the group headed towards the Southern Kingdom, they felt the weather gradually get hotter. When they arrived at the Willow Valley, they saw a green grassland.


    Ah Kuan and Ah Bai looked around for dry branches and started a fire. Qiao Liangjin and Zi Yan sat next to the bonfire. It seemed that the Red Dust didn''t want to get close to Qiao Liangjin, and so they sat under the banyan tree not far away.


    Qiao Liangjin gently hooked the burning campfire with a branch. He tilted his head to look at the red dust cloud and softly asked, "Do you think that person is strange?"


    Yu Sheng, who had transformed into his human form, followed Qiao Liangjin''s gaze. Shaking his head, he said, "He has demonic Qi on him, but it''s not that strong. Although I have 800 years of cultivation experience, I still can''t see through him."


    A question slowly rose in Qiao Lianjin''s mind. Why did Bai Wu and Hong Chen appear out of nowhere? Why was Bai Wu''s martial arts so profound that his body was so weak? Although Hong Chen seemed to be friends with Bai Mo on the surface, why did she always follow his lead?


    Red Dust seemed to have noticed her thoughts. He lifted his pitch-black eyes, glanced at Qiao Liangjin, and coldly said, "If you have the time, why don''t you meditate and circulate the zhenqi within your body. What a waste." Having such a good inner force skill and actually getting sick, what a joke.


    Qiao Liangjin was choked to the point that he couldn''t retort. He could only mutter under his breath, "I''m a human ¡­"


    At dawn, Qiao Liangjin stood up and went to the stream not far away to wash his face and rinse his mouth. The ice-cold water of the stream stimulated her blood vessels, causing her to wake up even more.


    She patted her own face and nervously looked at the path that the Southern Kingdom had taken. Today, she was going to see the corpse of the legendary Cleanser.


    She flew up onto the banyan tree that supported her in the red dust and looked into the distance, anxiously waiting.


    It wasn''t until after lunch that Qiao Liangjin saw the carriage and two groups of soldiers walking towards them.


    Her heart beat faster and faster. Jumping down from the banyan tree, she desperately tried to stabilize the excitement in her heart.


    The group of people blocked the front of the group.


    The carriage stopped and two groups of soldiers brought out their swords. One of them, a man who looked like an officer, walked forward and coldly said, "Do you know what this team is for?"


    Qiao Liangjin pointed at the coffin and asked, "Is that a purge?"


    The military officer flew into a rage. He drew out his sword, pointed it at Qiao Liangjin and asked: "How dare you call the Seventh Prince by his name!"


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He walked over and wanted to open the coffin to see what was inside, but the officer''s sword was pointed straight at his throat.


    Lu Li was a little anxious. He took out the medallion of the Seventh Marquis and said to the officer, "Impudent. This is the Seventh Princess'' wife."


    The military officer took a careful look at the token and immediately sheathed his sword. He waved his hand to have the soldiers behind him put away their swords and sabers and knelt down on one knee. "Princess, this is indeed the body of the Seventh Prince."


    Qiao Liangjin acted as if she did not hear the officer''s words. She walked straight to the side of the carriage and gently touched the smooth, lacquer surface of the coffin. With a sudden burst of strength, he pushed open the lid of the coffin.


    She did her best to suppress the heart that was about to jump out of her chest as she looked into the coffin.


    Inside the coffin, there was a man with an absolutely gorgeous appearance. However, his right cheek was slightly swollen. He didn''t know why, but this man, who was originally dressed in luxurious clothes and was devilishly clean, was quietly lying inside the coffin.


    In the past few days, she had been using the matter of clearing her life to forcefully hang on, rushing all the way, exhausting all her energy and mental energy to the point of collapse. Being able to come to this Willow Valley was only the support of her faith, and now, after seeing the person in the coffin, Qiao Liangjin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Everyone who was standing half-knelt down once again. "Princess, we pay our respects to you."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hands tightly gripped the edge of the coffin, his fingers leaving a deep mark on the coffin. That mouthful of blood sprayed onto Su Ming''s face, causing him to look slightly sinister.


    Qiao Liangjin used his trembling hands to pull out a handkerchief and beckoned for Purple Smoke. He passed the handkerchief to Purple Smoke and said word by word, "The prince''s face is dirty, I want to wipe it off for him."


    Zi Yan''s eyes were filled with tears. She nodded and accepted the handkerchief, wetting it before handing it to Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin earnestly wiped away the blood on his face.


    Wiping away the dust, her dull eyes gradually lit up. She suddenly stopped and got off the carriage. Closing the lid of the coffin, she waved her hand. "Let''s go, let''s go."


    Everyone looked at Qiao Liangjin in shock.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and left the carriage. He gestured for everyone to make way for him and said, "I am going to the Southern Kingdom to avenge the Seventh Prince. I will have to trouble this general to send the Seventh Prince back to King''s City."


    The military officer exclaimed. He realized Qiao Liangjin wasn''t joking and thought that she was overly sad. He then tried to persuade her. Unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin was leaning on her shoulder and his shoulders started to tremble.


    The military officer thought Qiao Liangjin was overly upset. All he could do was sigh and say, "My condolences." He then led the group towards the Royal City.


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t raise his head for a long time. Leaning on Zi Yan''s shoulder, he asked in a low voice, "Did you go far?"


    Zi Yan patted Qiao Liangjin''s back and looked at the group that was walking further and further away. She said, "I''ve walked far, Miss ¡­"


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin raised his head and didn''t look sad at all. He sighed and said: "I almost laughed just now."


    Zi Yan looked at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment. Just now, she ¡­ Aren''t you crying? Why did he laugh?


    Qiao Liangjin wiped the corner of his mouth and hatefully said: "I really thought it was cleared and spat out a mouthful of blood."


    Everyone was startled, they didn''t understand the meaning behind Qiao Liangjin''s words.


    Qiao Liangjin smiled, blinked his eyes and said, "If we were to say the answer now, then it would be meaningless. We are going to the Southern Kingdom now."


    Bai acted as if he didn''t know what was going on and asked dumbly, "Miss, are we going to take revenge for the Prince?"


    Qiao Liangjin got on his horse and pulled on the reins. He smiled at Bai and said, "Yes, we are going to take revenge. But we are not going to avenge our prince. We are going to avenge my blood."


    The group of people didn''t understand what happened, but after seeing the body inside the coffin, Qiao Liangjin''s face started to turn red.


    "Looks like that person is still alive."


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin''s heart was inexplicably excited. The heaviness that was suppressed in her chest also disappeared. She agilely mounted the horse and pointed her slender arms towards the southern region: "Let''s go!"


    Along the way, Qiao Liangjin''s mind was filled with thoughts of whether he should give Su Hao a good beating the moment he cleared his mind or perform a death performance to make him feel the same sadness as himself.


    On their way south, Qiao Liangjin slowly took off his outer robe. When they were almost at the border of the Southern Kingdom, Tong City, Qiao Liangjin was already wearing a simple shirt.


    By this time they had driven their horses through a forest of blossoming peach blossoms. Everywhere the pedestrians passed, they would come into contact with pieces of peach blossoms.


    Qiao Liangjin extended his palm and received the peach blossom. Not without some regret, he said, "If there was an expert who made the peach blossom wine, how delicious would it be? When he came here, he discovered that he was about to become an alcoholic."


    With that said, he blew away the flower petals in his hand and urged his horse to the entrance of Tong City.


    At this moment, the security of Tong City was extremely tight. If one wanted to enter, they would have to line up for a very long time. Qiao Liangjin was leading his horse as he slowly walked through the crowd.


    Looking from afar, there were about a hundred people ahead, Hong Chen looked a little impatient. She poked her horse''s neck and said impatiently, "That guy called Lu Li, is it possible for you to get in line with the Seventh Marquis Mansion?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes. This person was born with no patience. He didn''t know how Bai Wuyi was able to handle it. Lu Li looked at her with a pleading look, as if he was waiting for her to give the order.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and used his palm to block the sunlight. He looked at the sun, then looked at the fatigued team and sighed: "That''s fine, you don''t have to be a bastard to get out."


    Lu Li got the order and hurried to the gate. Soon, a team of about 10 people followed Lu Li to the gate. They walked up to Qiao Liangjin and greeted him with clasped hands. They shouted in unison, "Greetings, Princess."


    The men who were marching and fighting had a deep voice, so their greetings disturbed the people lining up. Where were the common folk? They had never seen a noble or high official before, and when they heard someone call out ''consort'', they immediately kneeled on the ground without raising their heads.


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and lightly coughed twice. He then shyly waved his hand and said: "Hurry and get up."


    The military officer straightened his body and sized up Qiao Liangjin, who was completely worn out by the storm. He then made a gesture of invitation and invited Qiao Liangjin into Tong City.


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand at the commoners who had been kneeling on the ground and didn''t dare to raise their heads, indicating for them to hurry up. Red Dust walked behind Qiao Liangjin and said in an extremely low voice, "Once you enter Tong City, they''ll get up."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand paused as he glared fiercely at Hong Chen. Why was this man so venomous? On the other hand, Hong Chen smiled calmly at Qiao Liangjin.

 C124 Yearning to This Point

    Qiao Liangjin had originally thought of finding an inn to stay at wherever he wanted in Tong City. In any case, he was going to the Southern Kingdom tomorrow, so the conditions were no longer important.


    On the other hand, that contestant insisted on leading Qiao Liangjin to a small bamboo forest area.


    When they arrived at the so called bamboo forest small building, Qiao Liangjin sighed. The people of the Shangguan family really knew how to enjoy themselves; one could tell that this small building was meant for nobles. Although it was very hot in Tong City, but in the bamboo forest small building, the heat seemed to have been blocked.


    The sweat on Qiao Liangjin''s forehead also disappeared the moment he stepped into this small building. She could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Indeed, it is a paradise on earth. I originally thought that the Tong City''s name was due to the Wutong tree that filled the city."


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, the general who came to greet them could not conceal the pride in his tone. He smiled and said, "Princess, there are a lot of wutong trees in this Tong City. However, we have long heard that the Seventh Prince likes to play chess in the bamboo forest, so we have specially prepared this place for him."


    Walking on the zigzag bridge, Qiao Liangjin looked down and stopped in her tracks. In the clear water, there were fat carp swimming back and forth. She suddenly remembered that time in Shengcheng, she had caught a fat carp for herself. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled.


    Hong Chen was wondering why this woman wasn''t walking forward anymore, blocking his path, when he saw Qiao Liangjin looking at him with a gentle smile. He was slightly startled, as if something in his heart had shattered, and he had always been picky about this woman in front of him. He had always felt that she was a burden to him, but now, he seemed to understand why she was so fond of him.


    Qiao Liangjin could feel that Hong Chen''s gaze was fixated on his face. He turned his head slightly, gave a mischievous smile, and asked: "What''s wrong? have you taken a fancy to my devastatingly beautiful appearance? "


    Hong Chen immediately turned her head away and snorted coldly. "I''ve never seen such a shameless girl before."


    "Thank you for your praise." Qiao Liangjin didn''t mind at all what Hong Chen had said about him.


    After the maidservants arranged a place for everyone to stay, the general set up a feast to invite Qiao Liangjin to join them.


    When Qiao Liangjin arrived at the dining room, he found a very strong middle-aged man standing in the middle of the room. When Qiao Liangjin arrived at the dining room, he found a very strong middle-aged man standing in the middle of the room.


    Only then did General Wang raise his head to look at Qiao Liangjin who was standing outside the door. He was stunned as he blurted out, "So the rumored infatuated girl from the capital, Qiao Liangjin ¡­" "Isn''t it just a fat body ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were calm and charming, he only smiled at General Wang, and used his slender fingers to caress his hair, gently tying it behind his ears. His clear and melodious voice sounded out, "Greetings General Wang, could it be that General Wang does not know about this ¡­ Do people change? "


    General Wang laughed heartily when he heard this and cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Seventh Princess."


    After she was done packing, she frowned and said, "Your Highness, please don''t mourn. About the Seventh Prince''s death ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin took his seat and poured himself another cup of wine. He then smiled and said, "This is Bamboo Leaf Qing, to think that there would be such a good wine master in Tong City. How rare."


    General Wang saw that Qiao Liangjin was not the least bit reserved, so he sat down and also sat down. Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s slightly pink cheeks, he couldn''t understand why the wangfei in front of him didn''t seem sad at all.


    Qiao Liangjin put down his wine cup and called for the chopsticks to be eaten. He then smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Southern Kingdom. I will get even with whoever injured the Prince. There''s a saying, Vengeance Women''s Revenge. "


    When General Wang heard this, the wine cup that he had just raised almost fell from his hand. He looked at this girl who did not fit the legend at all. She was going to the Southern Kingdom to seek revenge? Such a skinny lady actually wanted to seek revenge with this man in front of her?


    The corners of General Wang''s eyes twitched as he put down his wine cup and persuaded, "Princess, I''ve met Prime Minister Qiao a few times. Judging from my age, it wouldn''t be too much for her to call me ''Uncle General'', so ¡­" "This general still wants to advise esteemed wangfei ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin''s night like eyes looked at General Wang, his lips curled up into a smile, "Alright, since General Wang has said so, then I''ll call General Wang uncle. Uncle Wang, I''ve discussed this with my father about this trip, and he hasn''t even been able to persuade me ¡­ "So ¡­"


    General Wang was stunned again, and he let out a long sigh. He had long since heard of this woman''s amazing accomplishments. Therefore, it was within his range to bear the amount of her amazing accomplishments.


    The banquet ended with a short conversation. Qiao Liangjin could not wait to return to his room and soak himself in the bathtub.


    Letting out a long sigh, Qiao Liangjin leaned against the bathtub and closed his eyes. "Southern Kingdom, Southern Kingdom, what kind of situation is it?" He had offended Nangong and also offended the Southern Sudan, so this time, he brought along the little fox from the Southern Kingdom. Once he entered the Southern Kingdom, he would encounter many dangers.


    She covered her face with the handkerchief, but her brain was spinning at high speeds, clearing up the matter of why she let the fake body die, and why she had to send the corpse back to the Imperial City. Suddenly, she regretted that she hadn''t been happy when she saw the corpse, instead she had forgotten to examine it, or else she would have left some traces behind.


    Thinking of this idea, Qiao Liangjin groaned in pain and pulled the handkerchief away. At this moment, the little fox was staring at Qiao Liangjin who was going crazy in the bathtub.


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at the little fox and asked, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen my good figure before?" With that, he stood up from the bath barrel.


    The little fox''s face was covered in fur, so it was impossible to tell if his face was red or not. He muttered to himself in his heart, "Don''t look at me unceremoniously."


    Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly picked up by Qiao Liangjin. Qiao Liangjin had already put on a tight undergarment and shorts. Holding the little fox, he said with a smile, "Shouldn''t you be bathing? You didn''t take a bath when you followed me."


    The little fox was startled, and before it could react, it was thrown into the tub by Qiao Liangjin.


    The little fox''s head surfaced from the water and its ears shook. Its pair of fox eyes narrowed into slits as it looked at Qiao Liangjin who was moving his waist around.


    His eyes were filled with happiness, and he didn''t mind being thrown into the water.


    Wait until Qiao Lianjin gave him a quick bath before fishing it out of the tub. He then wiped his fur with a handkerchief and said," Strange, you normally don''t feel happy bathing, but today you actually took a shower. Have you started to split your foxes again?


    The little fox stared at Qiao Liangjin with an extremely gentle gaze, as if it had not seen him in a long time. Qiao Liangjin was a little surprised that the look in its eyes was so gentle, turning it around and around, then he scoffed: "You must be crazy. A fox, using such a gaze on me, who knows when I''ll have to make you some medicine to eat."


    The little fox looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot. Qiao Liangjin suddenly nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Yes, I''m very familiar with this look. You''re fine now."


    After saying that, he threw the little fox onto a chair and went to open his backpack. Looking at his thick clothes, Qiao Liangjin felt a little regretful. How could he have brought out such heavy clothes with him?


    The little fox seemed to have noticed Qiao Liangjin''s troubled look. It jumped down from the chair and walked straight to a red box. It scratched the box with its claws and chirped at Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin was surprised when he saw the box. He pointed to the box and asked: "You want me to open the box? "Is it suitable?"


    The little fox nodded and squatted to the side. Raising its hind legs, it lightly scratched the back of its neck and squinted its eyes with a look of enjoyment.


    Qiao Liangjin shrugged his shoulders and said to himself: "Anyway, I asked, and no one said no."


    Opening the box, he only saw a pile of clothes inside. Qiao Liangjin casually took out a set and shook it open, but he was surprised. This style, it seemed like it was a set of clean clothes.


    This length, this smell, she was too familiar with it. Opening the door, she summoned Purple Smoke, and casually passed a red and a purple robe to Purple Smoke, instructing, "Cut off the horn, I want to wear it."


    Zi Yan looked at the bright clothes in Qiao Liangjin''s hands and asked in surprise, "Where did you come from?"


    "It should be to clean up and stay here. I didn''t bring any clothes with me, so it''s too late to go out and buy them. You can help me fix them." Qiao Liangjin shoved the clothes into Zi Yan''s hands.


    Back at the house, Qiao Liangjin was rummaging through the alleyway again when he found a map. She spread the map out on the table and carefully looked at the markings on the map.


    Since the Eastern and Southern Kingdoms were at odds with each other, the Western and Northern Kingdoms had yet to take any action. Seeing the symbol on the map, Qiao Liangjin''s finger lightly pointed towards the Northern Kingdoms. The warriors of the Northern Kingdoms were strong and strong, and they had been ravaging the border for years to steal away the civilians.


    Or was it on purpose? Qiao Liangjin''s heart was filled with questions for the current Emperor Doggie. Although he appeared to be in a daze, he was actually extremely shrewd. In her heart, she already had questions regarding the death of this body''s mother, the beginning of her heart of chastity. All of her speculations pointed to the high and mighty Son of Heaven.


    It was said that the monarch of the Western Kingdom was a woman. She was curious about the Queen of the Western Kingdom, what kind of Queen could actually firmly control her own kingdom.

 C125 Fox Directing

    The little fox jumped onto the table and squatted beside the map. Its little claws seemed to be tapping on a part of the Southern Kingdom''s jungle area.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked at the little fox. He then asked, "What do you mean by that?"


    The little fox cleared itself and jumped off the table. It went straight to bed and began to doze off.


    Qiao Liangjin picked up his pen and drew a circle in the forest before putting the map away and putting it under his pillow.


    Lying on the bed, she turned around and looked at the little fox who was dozing off, softly saying, "I keep having the feeling that you know something, but you don''t want to say it, do you think that you can''t leak it out? It''s okay, I guessed it myself."


    The little fox''s large tail swept about but it did not reply.


    When Qiao Liangjin''s breathing gradually grew heavier, the little fox slowly opened its eyes. It looked at Qiao Liangjin who was asleep with a passionate and emotional expression. It was a little happy, a little worried, and it could not resist licking Qiao Liangjin''s face with the tip of its tongue.


    Su Qing seemed to be afraid that she would wake up from her stupor. She lightly licked her lips before slowly getting up. She leaned against her soft and warm body, stuck close to her, and closed her eyes.


    When he thought of the assassinations in the Eastern and Southern Kingdoms these past few days, he felt a little tired. Although he was borrowing Yu Sheng''s body to come visit Qiao Liangjin, he did not expect this woman to come all the way to Tong City, and then all the way down to the Southern Kingdoms to find him.


    He kept sighing in his heart, Stupid woman, Stupid woman ¡­


    At daybreak, Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes. He grabbed the little fox who was sleeping soundly and shook it awake. "Why do I feel like you cleaned up yesterday?"


    At this moment, Yu Sheng, who had returned to his body, was shaken by Qiao Liangjin. Feeling dizzy, he opened his mouth and bit onto Qiao Liangjin''s thumb.


    Qiao Liangjin tossed Yusheng to the side in pain. The moment the little fox landed on the bed, it turned into the appearance of a boy. He shouted in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? I slept just right. I haven''t slept properly these past few days."


    Qiao Liangjin swept a glance at him, then stood up and shouted out for Ziyan at the door. Not long later, Ziyan came over with some clothes and passed a red dress to Qiao Liangjin.


    She found a white jade belt from the box and tied it around her waist. Standing in front of the mirror, she carefully looked at herself and said with a smile: "This sultry red really isn''t something that anyone can control."


    Astonishment flashed through Zi Yan''s eyes as she praised, "The prince''s clothes, while worn on the young lady''s body, are also very fitting. Truly beautiful."


    Qiao Liangjin''s cheeks turned slightly red and he spat towards Zi Yan: "What nonsense is this?"


    After bidding farewell to General Wang, he led the group of people out of Xuanyuan Kingdom and stepped onto the southern borders.


    As soon as the little fox arrived at the border of the Southern Kingdom, it suddenly became somewhat lively. It actually jumped off its horse and ran ahead to lead the way.


    Qiao Liangjin recalled that this fellow came from the Southern Kingdom, and now that he had arrived in the Southern Kingdom, he didn''t want to return home. Qiao Liangjin thought that this guy came from the Southern Kingdom, and now that he had returned to the Southern Kingdom, he didn''t want to return home.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled his horse and called out to Silver Fox, "Yusheng, get back here."


    Yuesheng, who was leading the way lightly, stopped when he heard Qiao Lianjin''s voice. He turned around and looked at Qiao Lianjin, appearing as though he did not know what was going on.


    Qiao Liangjin asked, "Have you forgotten that all the royal families of the Southern Kingdom are looking for you?"


    Yu Sheng''s body trembled visibly. He jumped onto Qiao Liangjin''s horse and looked at her obediently. The fox squinted its eyes and made a very cute gesture.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed, rubbed its head and said: "You are really obedient, we are going to that jungle called Abu, did you know that?"


    The little fox bit its claws and turned around. It stared ahead for a long time and seemed to be confirming the direction. Finally, it pointed to the southwest.


    Red Dust asked curiously: "Why are you going to the forest? Why not the military camp? Maybe the Seventh Prince is in the military camp? "


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and said, "With your IQ, it''s really hard for me to explain it to you."


    Arriving at the Abu jungle marked on the map, Qiao Liangjin discovered that this was a sparsely populated jungle. The vegetation was extremely exuberant, the trees were thick, and there were also many towering trees.


    Qiao Liangjin tried to ride his horse into the jungle, but because there were so many vines and grass, it was hard for the horses to move an inch. Qiao Liangjin could only let the horses go and let them graze nearby.


    Carrying the food and water on his back, Qiao Liangjin tied the robe to his belt again. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Everyone, let''s go in now."


    Hong Chen glanced at Qiao Liangjin who was dressed in red and took out a bottle from his sleeve. She then poured out a few pills that were jade-green and passed them to everyone. When she passed the last pill to Qiao Liangjin, she asked doubtfully, "Do you think you need it?"


    What did he just say? I''m a human, what do you mean I need it? Qiao Liangjin snatched the pill and threw it into his mouth, looking at Hong Chen provocatively.


    The corners of Hong Chen''s lips curled up as she said, "Poison."


    Qiao Liangjin was slightly shocked, she was so surprised that she almost spat out pills. That fragrance that seeped into her spleen and stomach made her feel sure that it was not poison. She laughed out loud and poked her own stomach, laughing, "Then let''s all die together."


    Entering the jungle, Qiao Liangjin only felt that the whole forest was rather eerie, and occasionally, the screams of animals could be heard from afar. Entering the jungle, Qiao Liangjin only felt that the whole forest was eerie, and occasionally, the screams of animals could be heard from afar.


    When he raised his head and saw the green leaves covering the sky, it was as if a black shadow had flashed by. Qiao Liangjin cried out in alarm.


    Zi Yan was shocked by Qiao Liangjin''s voice, but Hong Chen frowned and asked, "If you don''t dare to come in, don''t come in. If you come in, don''t shout around."


    Qiao Liangjin chuckled, "The atmosphere, the atmosphere is very important. Everyone, don''t be afraid." Red Dust will take the lead. "


    Yu Sheng, who was lying on Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder, looked at Hong Chen in regret. I told you to offend a woman, to offend a devil, but later, she kicked you into the abyss and you had nothing to say.


    The sky gradually turned dark, the evening light pierced through the leaves and landed on their bodies, the mottled tree shadows slightly trembled, Qiao Liangjin felt that the forest was terrifyingly quiet, she seemed to have found a problem. Until now, they only heard the cries of beasts, but did not see the appearance of a single one.


    "Let''s hurry up and go find a big tree to rest up in a bit. Why do I feel weird about this forest?" Xiao Bai finally could not help but speak.


    Qiao Liangjin also felt a slight chill on his back. He touched his arm and shivered. He nodded and said, "That''s good too. Let''s find a big tree to rest in."


    Suddenly, somewhere in the forest, a strange, inhuman laugh rang out.


    Zi Yan was shocked by the laughter and couldn''t help but to get close to Qiao Liangjin. She pulled her arm and whispered: "Young miss ¡­" Did you hear that? "


    Hong Chen smiled, clapped her hands and said, "Do you remember that Miss Qiao doesn''t know how to tell a book? "Why don''t you tell us about the books? We won''t be afraid to listen to the stories."


    Qiao Liangjin slapped his head and said happily, "Alright, how about I tell you guys the story of how I despised your grave."


    "It is said that there is a girl who writes novels. She is quite capable and very beautiful. One day, she went to a villa far away from the city. Do you understand that?"


    "It''s our manor. That woman met a man who tried to cheer her on on on the way here, and that man even talked to her for a while. That woman was also stupid, she even told him her address and told him to send something to her. If that isn''t inviting a wolf, then what is it?"


    Awoo ¡­" A wolf howl came from the distance. Qiao Liangjin patted Yusheng and asked, "If you''re a wolf, can you beat it?


    "Chirp Chirp" twice, Yuesheng seemed unsatisfied as Qiao Liangjin interrupted the story and signaled for her to continue.


    Zi Yan quickly asked, "What happened next?"


    "Later on, this woman was bullied, and she used all sorts of vicious methods to kill those four men. "This is great."


    Hong Chen interrupted and asked, "Why didn''t she commit suicide?"


    Qiao Liangjin had a strange look and asked: "Why did she commit suicide? It''s not like she wants to be insulted. "


    Red Dust touched the tip of his nose. Alright, her thoughts are different from others'', so his question is also not valid.


    Qiao Liangjin only noticed the surrounding environment as he walked forward. He didn''t even notice the ground beneath his feet. Before anyone could cry out in surprise, Qiao Liangjin had already fallen heavily into a deep pit.


    Feeling the bright stars in front of his eyes, Qiao Liangjin''s heart sank as he shouted ''I''m done''. Then, he lost consciousness.


    When Qiao Liangjin woke up, he saw that she had jumped up and scolded him, "Who is this wicked person? Why is he digging holes in this forest like this? Where''s the moral bottom line?"


    Hong Chen leaned against a tree and smiled coldly at Qiao Liangjin. "You didn''t bring your own eyes, so why would you blame others for their scams?"


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin remember that she fell into a pit last night. She closed her mouth and looked at everyone there. Then, she awkwardly asked, "Is it dawn?"


    Zi Yan nodded and used some herbs to apply on Qiao Liangjin''s red and swollen forehead. She smiled and said, "Last night, we didn''t sleep, so we all have a good rest."


    Qiao Liangjin gave Hong Chen a thumbs up in satisfaction.


    When he raised his head, he found a huge tree trunk. This was a dry hollow tree. The hole was large, and it was enough for ten people to sit inside.


    Qiao Liangjin praised, "Who found it here?"


    Yu Sheng jumped out and wagged his tail, as if gesturing to himself.


    Qiao Liangjin frowned and said, "Speak human words."


    Yuesheng had no choice but to transform into her human form as she reluctantly wrapped the undergarment around her. She pouted and said, "Of course it''s the place I''m looking for. I''ve lived in the Southern Kingdom for eight hundred years."


    "Then, did you know about the hole that I fell into last night?"


    "I''ve been gone for a hundred years. How would I know there was a hole? Besides, everyone saw that big hole. Uncle Lu Li said to be careful, but you''re still stepping into it ¡­"

 C126 Jungle Adventure

    Qiao Liangjin''s mind did not have the same impression as last night. She knocked her head and laughed: "Forget it, let''s go."


    Hong Chen''s indifferent voice sounded again, "Where are you planning to go? What are you doing here?"


    Qiao Liangjin was stumped. That''s right, she only felt like she was coming here. Why did she come, she didn''t know either.


    Touching the bump on his forehead, Qiao Liangjin pointed to the south and said, "I feel like Su Su Qing is waiting for me there."


    "If we go any further, it might be dangerous." Hong Chen kindly reminded him.


    Qiao Liangjin cast a glance at Hong Chen and asked, "Hong Chen, will you be afraid? Or do you think I''d be scared? "


    Red Dust spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders as Qiao Liangjin did.


    Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to step forward, he suddenly heard the rustling sounds of leaves above her head. She raised her head and saw a blur in front of her. A leopard had jumped down from the tree.


    "I''ll go..." "Leopard!" Fortunately, Qiao Liangjin''s reaction was quick. He instantly dodged the leopard''s claw, and the leopard lightly landed in the middle of the hollow tree, baring its teeth at the group, fiercely glaring at them.


    However, the little fox, Yuesheng, stood out from behind Violet Smoke and walked towards Leopard without a care in the world.


    Qiao Liangjin had originally wanted to keep Yusheng away from the leopard, but he suddenly recalled that he had never seen Yusheng''s abilities before. Hence, he folded his arms and quietly looked at what Yusheng wanted to do.


    Yuesheng''s hands silently ignited the icy-blue fox fire. The panther that was originally staring fiercely suddenly saw the icy-blue fox fire lift its tail and obediently squat down on the ground.


    Yuesheng walked over and the fox fire instantly vanished from his hands. He gently stroked the head of the leopard that was about the same height as him and whispered a few words into his ear.


    The leopard looked at him suspiciously, then nodded and left the hollow tree.


    Everything happened rather quickly. Qiao Lianjin was slightly surprised. A little person like Yu Sheng actually had the ability to transform into a wild beast?


    Lu Li curiously asked, "Little fox, what did you say?"


    "Ah?" I said I was hungry and wanted to eat rabbits. " Yu Sheng patted his belly.


    Qiao Liangjin''s stomach also suddenly sounded out an untimely tone.


    She took out her bag and complained, "This is extortion. If it had rabbits to eat, it could still come over to eat us. Are you stupid? We have rations here."


    Yu Sheng remained unmoved as he said, "The rabbit meat in the southern region is truly very delicious. It was injured by a person a few days ago, so it got especially angry when it saw people."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand that was rummaging through the dry food suddenly stopped. He raised his head and asked in surprise: "Really? Who is it? What did it look like? Where did you meet it? "


    Yu Sheng shook his head. "I did not ask. I will ask again when he returns with the rabbit meat. That''s right, the rabbit meat should leave me with a leg. After all, I have done meritorious deeds."


    In her eyes, the little fox was still a child after all. Even though he had been here for 800 years, he was still a child now, so she couldn''t teach him any harm.


    After saying that, he climbed up the tree branch in an extremely prideful manner. Leaning against the tree trunk, he looked into the distance with a leisurely expression, as though he was afraid of someone who was a meritorious general.


    Meanwhile, Ah Bai and Ah Kuan were excitedly guessing whether the Seventh Marquis had cleared up when the leopard ran into him. On the other hand, Zi Yan was still as alert as before. She gently wiped her sword, constantly paying attention to her surroundings.


    On the other hand, Qiao Liangjin had the mindset of coming here to travel. Ever since she knew that the one who died was not clearing up, her mind was constantly thinking about what she should do when she saw that fake clearing up.


    Unknowingly, the branch in his hand had been broken into countless pieces. He tossed it to the side, picked up another branch, and continued to break it.


    It was noon when Qiao Liangjin heard the leopard''s roar from the tree. Then, two or three rabbits were thrown down from the tree.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and threw the remaining branch in his hand into the fire. He saw a pair of golden eyes looking down at her through the mottled leaves. She waved her hand, but her voice was as clear as ever: "Leopard, come down. Let''s have a chat."


    That golden pupils slightly contracted, as if considering whether or not to go down. Qiao Liangjin waved his hand again: "Come, come, come and play. I don''t care about your leopard skin at all."


    Suddenly, Yuesheng fell down from the tree and landed heavily on the ground. With a groan, he sat up and patted the dust off his body. He glared at Qiao Liangjin resentfully. "Why are your words so disgusting?"


    Qiao Liangjin shot a glance at Yusheng before continuing to wave at the leopard. That Hong Chen laughed and said, "It''s not like you followed her for the first day."


    Qiao Liangjin turned his head in surprise at the smiling Red Dust. Was that the Red Dust that she knew? The face of the mortal world in her memory was even worse than all the smelly faces on earth added together. How could it actually smile?


    She looked at Hong Chen with a restless expression. Hong Chen then stopped smiling and asked calmly, "Why? Have you never seen an immortal smile before?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and said, "I''ve never seen an Immortal laugh, but I''ve seen an Immortal Jump."


    Red Dust raised his thick eyebrows and asked curiously, "What is Immortal Jump?"


    Qiao Liangjin slightly narrowed his eyes. He suddenly thought of how Hong Chen must have been humiliated. She looked at Hong Chen and smiled faintly, "I will definitely let you meet me in the future."


    When Hong Chen saw Qiao Liangjin''s strange smile, she was surprised. She immediately said, "Forget it, I keep having the feeling that it''s not a good thing for you to smile so strangely."


    Qiao Liangjin touched his own face in surprise, and before he could ask how he had seen it, the smelly leopard jumped down from the tree, landing lightly on the ground with its four claws. Then, he bent down and gently rubbed the leopard''s face against Qiao Liangjin''s calf.


    The purple cloud was scared stiff by the leopard''s actions. It pulled out its sword and was about to attack, but was stopped by Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin''s palm lightly landed on the top of the panther''s head and probed it with his palm. The panther laid down like a cat, baring its belly.


    He had jumped down from the tree and walked to the leopard''s side. She kicked the leopard''s body and said, "You are not here to sell and plead for adoption. Hurry up and tell me where you met that person. You have to remember that you are a wild leopard in the jungle."


    Qiao Liangjin shot a glance at the little fox and knew that the little fox was jealous. She smiled and squatted down, using her fingers to lightly scratch the leopard''s belly, and laughed: "This leopard is very cute, take it back, and be a pet."


    Yuesheng panicked. She crossed her arms over her chest and turned around. With an angry look, she said, "Bao Zi and I, choose."


    Qiao Liangjin gently patted Bao''s belly and continued: "Didn''t you say you don''t want to have a blood contract with me? Aren''t you a fox demon? Shouldn''t you be living here? If you stay, Bao Zi will tell me, okay, Panther?"


    The leopard seemed to understand Qiao Liangjin''s words. It actually wriggled its body and whined in agreement.


    Yuesheng had originally thought that Qiao Liangjin would come over to coax her. She had never expected him to be so ruthless as to abandon her and bring the stupid and big leopard back. She turned around and stomped her feet. "Qiao Liangjin, do you have a conscience?"


    Qiao Liangjin had an astonished look on his face. He covered his lips, his eyes curved into a smile that was extremely gentle and gentle to the bone: "Conscience? What is it? How much is a catty? "


    Yu Sheng was so angry that his face turned red. When he heard Qiao Lianjin''s teasing, he took a step forward and turned into a fox. After a few chirps, he raised his head proudly and left the tree hollow.


    Qiao Liangjin did not mind Yu Sheng''s anger at all. He only instructed his three followers to peel off the rabbit skin for a barbecue. For Yu Sheng, nothing could not be settled with a meal. If one meal was not enough, then he would have two.


    Qiao Liangjin sat cross-legged next to Bao Zi and gently caressed Bao Zi''s stomach. He asked softly, "Is the person you saw better than him?" As he spoke, he pointed at the Hong Chen who was resting on the side.


    The leopard actually seemed to understand. It looked at the red dust in the air and let out a muffled snort as an answer.


    Naturally, Hong Chen had heard of such a distance. She didn''t even raise her eyes and only gave a faint snort.


    The speed at which Purple Smoke peeled the rabbit''s skin was extremely fast. Not long later, she slowly turned the rabbit''s meat over the fire. Not long after, a strong aroma of meat wafted out.


    Qiao Liangjin stuffed the dried meat in his bag into the panther''s mouth. The moment he smelled the fragrance, he asked in a drooling voice: "When is it good?"


    Zi Yan smiled and used a small knife to lightly cut the rabbit meat. "It''s almost done. Let''s wait a little longer."


    Suddenly, he felt something rubbing against his side. Lowering his head, he saw the little fox, Yu Sheng, imitating a leopard as he gently rubbed the top of his head against her calf.


    Zi Yan immediately smiled. With one hand, she patted the little fox''s head and said, "Wait a moment. It''ll be fine in a while. Alright, I''ll give you a leg."


    Yuesheng raised his head and used his sparkling starry eyes to indicate his love. Before he finished, he turned back to look at Zi Yan and snorted coldly.


    Qiao Liangjin almost laughed out loud. On the surface, he really did look cold. He continued to stroke the leopard and said, "Don''t eat raw meat anymore, I''ll give you a rabbit meat to eat later. Remember to lead the way when you''re full, understand?"


    That leopard actually stuck out its tongue and lightly licked the back of Qiao Liangjin''s hand.


    When noon arrived, the leopard, who was napping, suddenly stood up. It shook its body and gently bit Qiao Liangjin''s sleeve.


    Qiao Liangjin was a little surprised, and asked without understanding, "What''s wrong? You mean now, don''t you? "


    The leopard used the top of his head to prop Qiao Liangjin''s head and stretched his two front paws. However, he turned his head to look at Qiao Liangjin.

 C127 Hunting the Python

    Qiao Liangjin was a bit confused. He didn''t know what this leopard meant, but the world of mortals behind him lightly pushed her and said: "It''s letting you ride it."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly took two steps back in embarrassment as he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let''s just walk together."


    Hong Chen''s voice came from behind her, "That''s true. You''re so fat. Be careful not to break the leopard''s waist."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he couldn''t help but become angry. He turned around and placed his hands on his slim waist and asked: "Come come come, tell me, where did I get fat?"


    Hong Chen''s gaze swept across her waist and then sneered. He pushed her away and walked straight out of the tree hole.


    Zi Yan walked up and compared the height and length of the leopard with a smile: "Miss, I think there''s nothing wrong with it. If there are some paths that are difficult to walk on, perhaps I''ll need the leopard to lead the way."


    Qiao Liangjin was right. He patted Bao Zi''s neck and softly said, "It''ll be hard on you then." He jumped onto the back of the leopard.


    Once Qiao Liangjin was seated, the leopard jumped out of the tree hole and ran at full speed through the jungle, leaving a few people behind.


    Qiao Liangjin only heard the shouts from behind him, but when he turned around, he could no longer see her. She was shocked, could it be that this leopard had used this kind of trick to leave her alone and then ate her?


    With that thought, she held the panther''s neck tightly with one hand, while with the other she felt the extremely thin sword at the back of her waist. She held the sword behind her back, while her body was still pressed tightly against the panther''s body.


    After running for an unknown amount of time, the leopard suddenly stopped at a cliff and let out a low growl.


    Qiao Liangjin got off the leopard and looked up at the cliff and asked: "Here?"


    The panther shook its body and lay on the ground, looking very tired.


    Qiao Liangjin stared at the leopard in alarm and realized that it did not have any evil intentions towards him. Thinking that it was only an animal, how could it have so many thoughts? Thinking of what he had just thought, he could not help but laugh.


    The leopard suddenly stood up again, and all the hair on its body stood up as it growled towards the cliff.


    A huge black shadow suddenly appeared at lightning speed from the cliff. Qiao Liangjin could only smell a fishy stench. Before he could see what was in front of him, he was tightly wrapped up.


    A huge green python had already wrapped itself around her body. She estimated it to be five meters long, and the thickest part was as thick as a water tank. She sighed in her heart, "We''re done for."


    Qiao Liangjin was unable to draw his dagger at this moment. He could only feel his body being tightened and tightened. She almost couldn''t breathe, those bean-sized eyes stared at her sinisterly. At this moment, she knew that she could no longer struggle. This python would definitely break every bone in her body.


    She exhaled slowly, trying her best to soften her body. She was glad that she had been practicing yoga all this time, so that she could slightly shrink her bones.


    She smiled wryly in her heart. Indeed, she was plotted against. In her entire life, the thing she hated the most was reptiles. She didn''t expect that after transmigrating, she would end up dying in a snake''s belly.


    As it was lamenting, the trembling leopard suddenly let out a long hiss and crazily pounced on the giant python, biting it seven inches away. Its long fangs sank deep into the snake''s body, desperately trying to tear it apart.


    The giant python could no longer withstand the pain and released Qiao Liangjin. Its tail slammed heavily onto the body of the leopard, but the leopard continued to bite the giant python without letting go. Blood constantly dripped from his mouth and nose.


    The moment Qiao Liangjin was released, he took out the thin sword in his hand and gently leaped up. With a flash of cold light, the thin sword pierced through the eyes of the huge python.


    Qiao Liangjin''s sword was too thin, and the damage was too little. Seeing that the leopard was about to be killed by the giant python, she gritted her teeth and raised her sword, preparing to pierce through the snake head.


    When she was about to jump down, a hand tightly grabbed her shoulder, preventing her from moving. She heard the voice that she hadn''t heard for a long time, "Silly woman."


    That sound was right next to her ear, the voice that she had once hated. Now that it sounded so melodious, her tears quietly fell from the corner of her eyes. The instant she raised her hand, she wiped them away.


    Qiao Linjian turned his head to the side and glanced at him. His expression looked somewhat haggard, and there were some bruises on his face that had been scratched by tree branches. Was this the kind of clear appearance that always graced the world?


    When she looked at it, she did not know that she was also in a sorry state. Her face was pale, and every drop of blood on her sleeve was the blood of the giant python.


    Su Qingqing caught Qiao Liangjin and lightly landed on the ground. She whispered, "I''ll do it."


    He took the sword from Qiao Liangjin''s hand and ran towards the python. He tapped on the ground, stood up, spun his body, and with his head facing down, the sword in his hand stabbed into the python''s head without any suspense.


    The giant python let out a strange sound before heavily falling from the sky. The surrounding grass also began to shake and fall down.


    Su Yun stepped on the giant python''s head and pulled out his sword. He walked to the leopard that was still biting on the giant python''s head and squatted down, slowly stroking its head.


    Qiao Liangjin also hurried over and knelt beside the leopard. He gently pinched the leopard''s body and suddenly felt a heartache. All the bones in the leopard''s body had been shattered and his internal organs had been punctured by a rib.


    Qiao Liangjin thought back to how he had misunderstood this leopard. Her hand lightly caressed the top of the leopard''s head as she pressed her face against its ear. She said in a very soft voice, "Leopard, it''s dead. Release ¡­"


    The leopard let out a groan and let out a breath. Blood kept flowing out of its mouth.


    Qiao Liangjin was most afraid of death in this life. What she was most afraid of was seeing the creature that she had not been with for more than a few hours leave her with an indescribable sadness.


    She held the leopard''s head, gently stroking its neck, and said in a small voice, "Go to sleep ¡­" Sleep, it won''t hurt if you go back to sleep ¡­ "Good, in the next life, we''ll meet again."


    His brows were slightly furrowed as he tried to pull Qiao Liangjin away. He knew that this leopard would not be able to survive. He could only give it a quick death and not let it suffer.


    Unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin finished his mumbling and grabbed the leopard''s head with both of his hands. With a slight twist, he broke the leopard''s neck and gently placed it on the ground.


    She did all of these things naturally. She executed the panther who had saved her and naturally dug the hole. Her expression was so calm, and only the corners of her eyes flickered with sadness.


    Just what had she experienced to give birth to such a powerful heart? He felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side and took the dagger from her. Qiao Liangjin straightened his back and stretched out his hand. "Give it back to me."


    Su Qing lowered her head to look at the dagger in her hand and then looked at Qiao Liangjin. Her long eyebrows slightly furrowed and she shook her head. "No, you rest. I will do it."


    After saying that, he squatted down and began to dig the hole on the ground.


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to look at the originally clean man, who was now covered in dirt and digging holes. She knelt down, hugged her knees, and asked softly: "Do you think I''m ruthless?"


    He was silent for a moment before continuing to dig, but his voice was tinged with pain, "I don''t know what you''ve experienced, but I hope that I can help you in the future when you don''t want to face it."


    Qiao Liangjin''s shoulders trembled slightly. She sniffed and stood up, then turned around to look at the path that the leopard had just brought her.


    Just as he was clearing the hole, he suddenly stopped and raised his head. "Did you hear anything?"


    After Qiao Liangjin was cleared, he paused for a moment and the two of them quietly listened. Qiao Liangjin pointed to the corner of the cliff and said in surprise, "Over there, there is the sound of a little leopard!"


    Finished speaking, he ran towards the cliff wall, picked up his dagger and followed behind Qiao Liangjin.


    Following the sound of "wuu", Qiao Liangjin finally found a small leopard. It was walking around shakily as if it had just woken up and was looking for its mother.


    Qiao Liangjin understood everything in an instant. Her nose turned sour and she squatted in front of the little leopard. She picked up the little leopard and gently stroked its fur.


    The panther was a hunter, and when it met Yusheng, it could only try to catch the rabbit. When it tried to catch the rabbit, it realized that the giant python had taken over its own residence, threatening its own child. Therefore, it went back to find Qiao Liangjin, bringing Qiao Liangjin back, trying to get Qiao Liangjin to finish off this giant python.


    When Qiao Liangjin was entangled by the giant python, he probably regretted it in his heart, so he desperately bit the giant python, which gave Qiao Liangjin a chance to live, ultimately giving up his own life.


    Qiao Liangjin tightly held the little panther in his arms and stood up before walking over to the panther''s side. He placed the little panther beside the big panther and promised, "Panther, I will raise this little panther. I will treat it like a feather and repay you for saving my life."


    The little leopard took the leopard''s still cold body and squeezed in to drink some milk. After taking a few bites, it actually began to whimper again.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his sleeve to wipe his tears and raised his head to look at her. He then smiled lightly and said, "You''ve seen a joke. Continue digging."


    Su Qing quietly squatted down and dug the hole after a while.


    After moving the big leopard into the pit, Qiao Liangjin and Su Qingqing covered the soil together. Qiao Liangjin stroked the little leopard''s head and asked, "What happened to you?"


    Qing Qing lowered her head to look at the dust all over her body. She was like a different person compared to the old prince who had an obsession with cleanliness.

 C128 West

    Too many thoughts were stuck in his mind. All the thoughts he had of her in the past few days, the time he had spent with Yu Sheng in a different body to accompany her, were all things he wanted to say. Too many words came up to his mouth, but he could only open his mouth and not a single word could completely express him.


    He let out a light breath and smiled, "It''s so good to see you."


    After saying that, he cleared his throat and smiled, realizing that he had also been very stupid.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly didn''t want to know why he was here, why he faked his death, and why he suddenly descended from the sky.


    After the two of them sat for a while, Qiao Liangjin, who was holding the sleeping leopard, stood up and said, "Let''s go find them."


    Su Qing stood up and followed Qiao Lianjin. After walking a few steps, she suddenly said, "No, I''m heading in the wrong direction."


    Qiao Liangjin looked strangely at Qing Shui and asked, "What are you talking about?"


    Qing pointed at the forest in front of them and said, "Look over there, the trees have changed directions."


    Qiao Liangjin looked in the direction that Su Chen was pointing towards. She didn''t notice anything wrong and waved her hand: "You saw wrong. Let''s go, don''t let them not find us."


    Qiao Liangjin took a few steps forward and realized that Qing Qing was not following him. He turned around and said helplessly: "What''s wrong, tell me."


    "Originally, that side was the north, while our side is the south. The lush trees are all pointing towards the cliff, but look now." The clear voice was very clear.


    Qiao Liangjin said, "Yes, I see it now. Could it be because it''s afternoon?"


    He turned around, looked at Su Ming and asked, "So, are you staying here these past few days?"


    Su Chen pointed to the cliff and said, "There is a hole there, you can sleep."


    Qiao Liangjin followed the direction of the finger and smiled, "So you''re an ape man here, but why?"


    He pointed at the python again, touched his belly and said, "Hungry, do you want to eat meat?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s entire body shivered as he looked at that huge, stinky python. He then asked, "You want to eat this thing?"


    She laughed and walked in front of Qiao Liangjin. She held the little fox in her arms and said, "No, there''s a small stream over there. There''s fish in it. We can eat it and drink from it."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard that they weren''t going to eat the python, he heaved a sigh of relief and followed Qing Shui to the other side of the cliff.


    Qing Qing brought Qiao Liangjin to a clear stream. Qiao Liangjin found that the source of this stream was inside the cliff and asked in surprise: "Is this cliff hollow?" There''s fish in there. "


    After clearing up the mess and catching a few fish, she started to roast some fish on top of the fire. Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked at the sky. It was getting late, and she suddenly started to worry if those people would get lost in the jungle, or if there would be an accident.


    After clearing away the grilled fish, he handed it to Qiao Liangjin. Seemingly knowing what Qiao Liangjin was thinking, he consoled him, "With that fox spirit here, there''s no need to worry. "It''s just that my time is almost up. We have to leave as soon as possible and not wait for them."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at her in astonishment and blurted out, "Something happened ¡­"


    Su Qing pointed at the cliff and said, "I will leave a mark here. Let''s go first so that they can follow us out if they see us. Don''t worry, we have Yu Sheng. He''ll be fine."


    Qiao Liangjin was a smart woman. She knew that there must be a reason behind her actions. Naturally, she did not refute. He casually ate some fish and fed the little leopard some more. He stretched lazily and said, "It''s dark, go to sleep."


    Just as he was about to climb up to the mouth of the cave, one of his hands wrapped around her waist while the other held onto the small panther. Then, he flew into the cave.


    Before Qiao Liangjin could say anything, Qing Shui pursed his lips and smiled, "Rest, we will depart tomorrow morning."


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin realize that the hole was extremely narrow, only two people were able to lie down inside. There weren''t any extra seats, and the little leopard went straight into the deepest part of the cave and lied down.


    Qiao Liangjin could only sigh and lie on the side. He thought for a moment before sitting up and drawing a line between the two of them: "A gentleman cannot do anything except line."


    Su Bai lowered his head and looked at Qiao Liangjin''s drawing line. He wiped it with the tip of his toe and smiled, "You already have my Mandala on you. You are already my wife. I don''t recognize this line."


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes. He knew that there was no point in pestering her about this. He turned around and lay down with his back to her.


    Su Chen laid down and rested his arm on the pillow. Looking at the back of Qiao Liangjin''s head, he asked, "Why are you here?"


    "Because I want to confirm if some fool is dead or not."


    "Now that I have confirmed it, I am still alive. What are your thoughts? Have you ever thought about staying together for your entire life? "


    "Cough cough, can you be more serious?" When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he was choked by his own saliva.


    "Go to sleep." The corner of her clear lips curled up as she patted Qiao Liangjin''s arm gently, as if she was coaxing a child to sleep.


    Qiao Liangjin resisted the urge to turn around and beat him up. He thought to himself, That''s Yu Sheng, that''s Yu Sheng. Behind him sleeping is Yu Sheng ¡­ Sure enough, after a while, he fell asleep.


    When he woke up the next day, Qiao Liangjin almost bit his tongue to commit suicide again.


    What kind of position was this? He was like an octopus, lying on top of the body that had been cleared. Somewhere there, there was even a high flag erected to show off his young ability.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed lightly and quietly removed his foot from her thighs. He then slowly turned around and silently said in his heart, "What a sin ¡­"


    He hadn''t even spoken a few sentences when a voice that cleansed the evildoers rang out. "Are you asleep yet?"


    Qiao Liangjin let out a soft snoring sound, then he let out a clear laugh, "You hugged me for an entire night and pretended to be asleep."


    Qiao Liangjin could not stand it any longer. He got up and forced a smile, "Do you want to see through it? Or are you just good friends? You don''t understand?"


    He cleared his throat and smiled, "To you, I must force you. Otherwise, you can pretend to be stupid for your entire life."


    Qiao Liangjin raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender as he pulled the little leopard into his arms and said: "Let''s go, what should we do now?"


    Su Qingqing brought Qiao Liangjin down the cliff and stood in front of the forest. After looking at it carefully, she smiled: "Sure enough, you came back after a night. Let''s go."


    He held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and walked towards the west.


    Qiao Liangjin asked in astonishment: "You''re going to the west? We''re going south. "


    "I have an army to stay in the west."


    "Huh?"


    Qiao Liangjin''s brain worked at high speeds as he was dragged to the west. After a few steps, she suddenly said, "The reason you faked your death was because someone was plotting against you in the Southern Kingdom, right?"


    "Jin''er, you''re really smart." He cleared his throat and smiled.


    "So you faked your death. You want to see if you die, who in the Southern Kingdom will be the most righteous?" Qiao Liangjin continued to ask.


    Su Qing nodded and looked at Qiao Liangjin, her eyes filled with praise.


    He liked this woman, her intelligence, her bravery, her decisiveness.


    Qiao Liangjin did not bother to think about what he was thinking about at this moment. He continued to talk to himself: "The goal of the Southern Kingdom, aside from borrowing Xuanyuan''s troops, is actually also the same. If you die, then after they defeat the Eastern Country, they can borrow the strength of the soldiers to defeat Xuanyuan.


    Su Qing smiled and asked, "Do you want to know who was behind all of this?"


    Qiao Liangjin swept his gaze across them and said, "Southern Sudan is stupid, they can''t do anything, and Nangong is the same. Right now, they are waiting for you at Xuanyuan, so the only one left is Nanli. Although Nan Li is a bit disgusting, he still doesn''t have this sort of scheming."


    Qing Qing laughed and continued to ask, "Where are the others?"


    "Then that Southern Kingdom''s emperor is the only one left. From the looks of it, his scheme is really unfathomable. Qing Qing, you have a very powerful opponent."


    "Then do you think we should continue to help?"


    "Help! Why not? Not only will we help, we''ll help to the end! We''ll push South Li down the throne!" Qiao Liangjin''s long eyebrows raised and a perfect plan appeared in her mind.


    Su Ling then smiled, "Your mind must be thinking of a plan to make Nan Li the emperor of the Southern Kingdom. But Jin''er, aren''t you afraid that Nan Li will be better than the emperor?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and shook his head. She sighed, "The Emperor''s Art was originally the hardest technique to guess, but no matter what, in order to avoid war, the common people won''t suffer. I would rather try it."


    Su Hao''s body trembled and turned to look at Qiao Liangjin. He had never thought that this woman would have such a profound thought.


    He couldn''t help but pinch her palm.


    Qiao Liangjin could feel the power coming from the palm of his hand and smiled. "Do you feel afraid of me?"


    Qing Qing pulled Qiao Liangjin along as they walked through the forest. Qiao Liangjin used his hand to pat the mosquitoes flying around, and asked with a frown: "Why were there not so many mosquitoes at the cliff just now? "I didn''t find anything to avoid the mosquitoes either ¡­"


    Suddenly, she stopped and looked around. Qiao Liangjin also stopped and looked around. She could smell a strong smell of oil.


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He pulled Qing Shui along and said, "Oil, there''s actually the smell of oil here."


    "Oil?"


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Qing Shui and knew that he did not know much about this liquid gold. She did not explain any further and pulled Qing Qing along in the direction of the smell.


    She held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and said, "No, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. They have been waiting for me for a long time."


    Qiao Liangjin stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head and asked in a questioning tone, "Why didn''t you leave earlier? Why were you delayed here for so long?"


    After clearing his tracks, he stopped and turned around to look at Qiao Liangjin''s delicate face. He smiled and said, "I was waiting for you."


    "Huh?" Qiao Liangjin was flabbergasted. Was this the reason for her being a barbarian here? What kind of special reason was this? How could he be so sure that he would come and save him? No, he seemed to have been saved.

 C129 Leading the Way

    She looked at Qiao Liangjin''s face full of questions, and suddenly pulled her into her embrace, hugging her tightly, as if wanting to merge everything into her body.


    Qiao Liangjin was a bit confused. This person didn''t explain anything and just hugged him. How could he just let him hold her like that? She coughed lightly. "Cough cough ¡­"


    Just as he was about to count, the next second, he was already three meters away from Qiao Liangjin. Qiao Liangjin''s teeth were itching from the smile.


    Qiao Liangjin glared at him and decided to go in a different direction. He wanted to see where the smell of oil was coming from.


    Qing Shui knew that he couldn''t stop Qiao Liangjin from doing things, so he could only follow behind Qiao Liangjin and walk towards the place where the smell was coming from.


    Walking through the wild grasses and winding vines, Qiao Liangjin raised his dagger and continuously chopped off the vines in front of him. He leisurely followed behind, occasionally teasing the leopard in his embrace.


    After walking a few dozen meters, Qiao Liangjin who was drenched in sweat stopped. He turned around and angrily looked at Su Qingqing, who had a surprised expression on her face, and asked: "Why aren''t you going anymore?"


    Qiao Liangjin grabbed the small leopard in his arms and roughly wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. He handed the dagger to Su Qingqing and said: "Come here, you''re a man that followed behind me. You''re really outrageous."


    Su Qing touched her nose and shook her head. "I don''t intend to come here."


    "I''m here, you have to come."


    "But I didn''t want to come."


    "Childish!" Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt that the tone when the two of them were arguing was extremely childish. Instead of getting angry, he just laughed.


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin calling him childish, Su Chen touched his nose and suddenly laughed. That smile caused his eyebrows to slightly rise and the corners of his lips to slightly rise, causing the sweating Qiao Liangjin to feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure. He sighed sorrowfully in his heart.


    Su Bai rubbed Qiao Liangjin''s head and said: "Don''t be angry, I''ll do it."


    After saying that, he turned around and gently spread open his hands. With a light shake, a powerful air current was pushed out from his palms. In an instant, the road ahead was cleared.


    He retracted his posture, turned around, and made a gesture of invitation. "Are you satisfied now?"


    Qiao Liangjin was dumbfounded by this point. He opened his mouth and looked at the road in front of him. He was even stuttering when he spoke. "You, you, you ¡­" "This, this, this, this ¡­"


    "Of course it''s to clean the road with martial arts. What''s the matter? If you insist on going forward, I''ll clean it up for you. " After saying that, he kicked a small stone away. He looked at Qiao Liangjin as if he was taking credit for something.


    Qiao Liangjin glared at him fiercely and walked forward until he reached the end of the road. Qiao Liangjin could smell the strong scent of oil. She squatted down and looked at the rolling rock and laughed: "This is a good thing, it might be useful in the future."


    "Is this the oil you were talking about?"


    "Yes, this thing would be very useful in the future, it is also called liquid gold. "Right now, the current dynasty can only be used as fuel."


    "Hearing you say this, it seems very powerful ¡­" She looked at Qiao Liangjin with an expression of admiration.


    Qiao Liangjin gave him a supercilious look as usual. "You speak as if you understand."


    As she smiled, Qiao Liangjin suddenly shivered. He turned around and looked around. She suddenly pointed to the east and said: "If we can open a tunnel here and drain the oil out, we can make good use of it."


    Standing up, he turned around and walked back to where he came from. After clearing everything up, he followed behind him and asked, "Have you left?"


    Qiao Liangjin did not turn back, but only waved his hand, signalling Su Hengqing to quickly follow. Su Hengqing glanced at the oil spring, and then followed him.


    As the sun was setting in the west, Qiao Liangjin rubbed his belly and complained, "I''m hungry ¡­" With that, he grabbed the small panther by its neck and opened his mouth as if to see if he could swallow the poor little panther in one gulp.


    She snatched the little leopard from Qiao Liangjin''s hand and sighed: "You are becoming more and more of a scoundrel now."


    He stuffed the little leopard into his arms and drew a circle on the ground before pulling Qiao Liangjin into it. "Wait for me here," he said.


    Qiao Liangjin obediently stood in the circle. He suddenly thought, why does this circle feel so much like the circle Sun Wukong painted for Monk Tang in Journey to the West when he went out to look for food?


    She thought back to the time when she set up a stall at the bridgehead and told him the story in Journey to the West. She thought back to the time when she set up a stall and told him the story in Journey to the West.


    Not long after that, Qing Shui returned with the two rabbits in his hands. He was slightly surprised to see Qiao Liangjin obediently standing in the circle without moving. "You''re so obedient?"


    "I''m just lazy." Qiao Liangjin yawned and slowly stepped out of the circle.


    Su Qing ignited a fire and skillfully peeled off the rabbit skin. The little leopard rolled around while hugging the rabbit skin. Qiao Liangjin looked at Su Qing''s skillful actions and asked: "How did you peel it?"


    "Why don''t you peel it?"


    "You are the dignified Seventh Prince of Xuanyuan Nation."


    "Who told you that if you''re a prince, you won''t be skinned?"


    "Reasoning, you''re dressed in fine clothes and food. Your clothes are all given to you by that Hong Liang, right?" Qiao Liangjin was a pot that could not be opened.


    After clearing up a look of ''you''re an idiot, I don''t really want to talk to you'', I glanced at Qiao Liangjin, changed my angle, and continued peeling.


    Qiao Liangjin saw that Qing Qing didn''t want to pay any attention to him, so she picked up a branch and lightly poked Qing Qing''s shoulder and asked: "Just talk."


    Su Chen didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and took a deep breath, then passed the skinned rabbit meat in his hand to Qiao Liangjin and said, "Roast the rabbit."


    Qiao Liangjin took the rabbit and thoughtfully placed it on top of the fire, slowly rotating. She thought about the python that had died yesterday, and suddenly remembered a movie she once saw, saying that pythons were only husband and wife. She asked, "If that python died, would there be other pythons coming to take revenge?"


    Su Qing peeled the other rabbit''s skin and slowly said, "I won''t."


    "Are you sure?"


    "Because the other one was killed by me before I could kill the one that was trapping you." Qing Shui''s words sounded light and relaxed, but the moment Qiao Liangjin thought about how the giant python was entangling him, he felt a chill down his spine.


    Qiao Liangjin rotated the rabbit in one hand and propped his chin with the other. He looked at her clear and handsome appearance. His face was as clear as jade, and when the firelight shone on his face, he seemed to be ¡­ Tempting.


    Qiao Liangjin quickly turned his face away. Why was he so infatuated with her? Seeing the rabbit meat slowly change color on the fire, Qiao Liangjin slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "It''s over."


    Qing Qing was shocked by Qiao Liangjin and asked: "What happened?"


    "How can we eat without salt?" Qiao Liangjin frowned. What she feared the most was eating tasteless roasted meat. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have brought some salt from Zi Yan and carried it on her body.


    Qing Shui took out a small bag and threw it to Qiao Liangjin, saying: "There are some inside, use it sparingly."


    Qiao Liangjin opened the bag and saw the fine salt inside. He raised his head and asked: "Why do you have everything? I feel like you''re like a robotic cat."


    "What is ¡­?" "A robotic cat?" He cleared his mind of all doubts about Qiao Liangjin''s question.


    Qiao Liangjin''s interest was suddenly piqued. The night was long, and there were only the two of them alive in the forest. She began to narrate the story of the robot cat. The Ru Men, the bamboo dragonfly, they narrated it vividly and vividly.


    After clearing up the mess, he clearly forgot to turn the rabbit meat in his hand. Qiao Liangjin could smell the smell of the meat and screamed, "Clearing out, it''s gone!"


    It was only then that Su Bai realized he had made a mistake. He quickly turned the rabbit over, and his smooth and jade-like face turned red again.


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head regretfully as he looked at the half of the rabbit''s body that was already in a mess. "Fortunately, you brought back two rabbits. Otherwise, one of us would have starved to death today."


    After slicing the rabbit meat, he spread the salt onto the rabbit meat. Qiao Liangjin sniffed and said, "The Qiao Family''s Confusion Rabbit, if my dad doesn''t become an official anymore, I''ll just sell the roasted rabbit meat."


    After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why didn''t your father become an official? Prime Minister Qiao has always been a pillar of his country, an indispensable talent. "


    Qiao Liangjin shot a glance at Qing Shui and spoke with a sharp tongue: "This is your good brother that I want to ask you."


    He knew that Qiao Liangjin was hostile towards the emperor. She was too smart and could see through the problem. She had always been the emperor in everything.


    The sudden silence made Qiao Liangjin''s heart go cold. She felt like she had almost forgotten about this very important matter. The man in front of her was the brother of that aloof and lofty Son of Heaven, yet she had been searching for him for thousands of miles.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly lost all interest in eating the rabbit meat. He roasted the meat a few times before stuffing it into his hands. Then, he turned around and walked towards the banyan tree. He leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.


    Qing Qing cut the rabbit meat into small pieces with her dagger and fed the little cheetah that was wailing. She then carefully cut the rabbit meat into pieces and walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side and sat down with her. She touched Qiao Liangjin''s arm with her arm and asked: "Wasn''t I starving just now, why don''t I eat it now?"


    "I lost my appetite when I thought of your brother." Qiao Liangjin replied in a neutral tone.


    Qing Qing passed the rabbit meat to Qiao Liangjin and said gently, "Why do you continue to hate him if you don''t have the strength?"


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes, looked at the corner of his lips, and then looked at the profound smile on his face. He helplessly shook his head and said: "You really know how to talk."


    He opened his small mouth and nibbled on the rabbit meat. With a flick of his tongue, he sucked the meat into his mouth and swallowed slowly. He nodded and said, "My culinary skills are really good. It''s really delicious."


    As she finished speaking, she snatched the rabbit leg from Qing Shui and started eating heartily. Not long later, half of the rabbit fell into Qiao Liangjin''s stomach. Without the slightest grace, she let out a burp, hooked her finger, and said, "Drink some water."

 C130 Kill Gray Wolf

    After clearing the mess, he gave the water bag to Qiao Liangjin. After she had drunk her fill, he lifted his sleeve and gently wiped off the residue and water stains on her lips.


    Qiao Liangjin turned his head awkwardly and said, "I can do it myself."


    After clearing away the mess, he looked at the back of Qiao Liangjin''s head and gently shook his head before eating the leftover rabbit meat in his hand.


    After finishing the rabbit meat, he wiped the corner of his mouth, and his gaze landed on the back of Qiao Liangjin''s head. As he slowly looked down at the back of Qiao Liangjin''s head, Qiao Liangjin''s head slightly tilted, and his collar slightly opened, and along his snow-white neck, he could vaguely see the slightly bulging mountain peak.


    Qiao Liangjin''s neck had been twisted around for too long, and he felt some pain. He then turned around and looked at the bonfire, "Clear it, we may be enemies in the future."


    "Hmm?"


    "Your brother thinks that my father has authority over the imperial court and he fears that my father''s achievements are too great. Sooner or later, he will make a move against my father, so I think that one day, we will become enemies."


    "Nope." Su Bai answered affirmatively after a moment of silence.


    Qiao Liangjin gave a faint smile, he did not even look at her, his finger drew a few circles in the air, and then his red lips curled up, blowing lightly towards the circle of nothingness, one of his hands made a blooming motion, and laughed: "All oaths are empty, and will break sooner or later."


    A clear gaze swept across Qiao Liangjin''s slightly disappointed face. He knew what she meant. Seeing the look of disappointment on her face, his heart skipped a beat again. He smiled and smiled.


    Qiao Liangjin yawned, leaned against the banyan tree and closed his eyes. He then lightly leaned against the tree trunk, and used one hand to quietly bypass Qiao Liangjin''s shoulder, letting her head rest on his arm. He wanted to make her sleep more comfortably.


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes, his face was red and his gaze was cold. He asked: "What?"


    "Anyway, you''re still going to hide in my arms in the middle of the night. Why don''t you find a good position right now?" He replied openly.


    Qiao Liangjin turned around and moved his arm away. He said indifferently, "No need for now, thank you."


    After clearing his smile, he retracted his arm and closed his eyes.


    In the middle of the night, the little leopard suddenly stood up and hissed towards a certain direction.


    He opened his eyes and picked up the thin sword, jumping onto the banyan tree, his eyes searching in the darkness, he could not let anything dangerous appear beside Qiao Liangjin.


    Qiao Liangjin also heard the voice of the little leopard and sleepily opened her eyes. She turned around and saw that Su Qing was no longer at the same place. She looked around and the leaves were gently falling from the tree.


    With a sharp hiss, a huge grey wolf came out from behind a small tree. It seemed that it had already set its sights on its target. It opened its mouth and bit towards Qiao Liangjin.


    Amidst the firelight, all that could be seen was a flash of silver light. In the darkness, a red line shot out from Greywolf''s chest and landed right in front of Qiao Liangjin.


    The strong smell of blood made Qiao Liangjin vomit a few times. He frowned as he saw the grey wolf heavily fall to the ground. She frowned and asked: "How do you expect me to sleep?"


    After clearing up the mess and pulling out the sword, Qing Shui wiped the blood off the gray wolf''s fur and said, "It''s not like there''s only one banyan tree."


    Qiao Liangjin reprimanded him unhappily, "Not worth mentioning." He then got up and moved to the other side of the fire, next to the banyan tree, and continued to sleep.


    Qiao Liangjin pulled the little leopard, who was the one reminding them, into his arms and gently rubbed his head. He said in satisfaction: "You really didn''t raise them for nothing, more or less you can put in some effort, not bad not bad not bad."


    The little leopard openly rubbed against Qiao Liangjin''s soft chest, letting out a cat-like sound and closing his eyes.


    He looked at the grey wolf on the ground and sighed. If the wolf''s meat wasn''t too fishy, he would have been able to keep it.


    When Qiao Liangjin woke up, he found that the wolf was already gone. He had already finished cooking the fish.


    Qiao Liangjin was really surprised by this man''s energy. How could he be so energetic? She didn''t seem to have seen how he was going to rest. She stood up and went to the stream nearby and washed her face. Then, she returned and quietly started to do her yoga.


    He looked up at Qiao Liangjin. He seemed to be accustomed to Qiao Liangjin''s actions and did not say a word. He carefully cooked the fish and waited for Qiao Liangjin to finish her yoga.


    Qiao Liangjin could smell the aroma of the fish and his stomach began to growl again. The yoga he was about to finish finally came to an end. Qiao Liangjin sighed and said, "Forget it, the gluttony has come out."


    Qing gave the fish to Qiao Liangjin and smiled, "I''ve already picked all the thorns. You can eat it without worry."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand paused for a moment. She only made a ''oh'' sound before she started to gobble down the fish in her hand.


    He carefully fed the leftover rabbit meat to the leopard, pointed to the west and said, "Follow this road. We only need to cross that hill and we''ll be outside."


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the mountain in the distance and sighed. They all said that as the mountain looked very close to her, it would take a long time for her to walk. She then picked up the skin on the back of the leopard''s neck and asked, "Are you coming with us or are you looking for a wet nurse?"


    The little leopard was clearly very unwilling to have its fur pulled up in such a manner, and it began to clench its fangs and brandish its claws.


    She snatched the little leopard from Qiao Liangjin''s hands and said, "Take it back."


    "It''s not like you don''t know what a petty fox I have."


    "I''ll keep it. If you want to see it, come over."


    "Really?"


    "It''s a fake. How could I have the time to raise it? I''m just helping you make a decision." As soon as she finished, she waved her hand lightly, causing the dust to fly into the air and extinguish the bonfire that had burned away the night before.


    Qiao Liangjin was speechless. When did this man learn to understand her thoughts so well? She was truly worried that he would carry away this little leopard.


    Along the way, there was a little milk beast by her side. It was boring, but Qiao Liangjin would occasionally worry about the little fox behind her, Yu Sheng and a few other people.


    The mountain gradually appeared in front of them. Qiao Liangjin did not see any guards at all, and the doubts in his heart piled up, but he saw that clearing his face was getting more and more relaxed, so she knew that the time in the forest was about to end.


    Qiao Liangjin was very happy to be able to finally walk out of the forest. However, he also felt a slight disappointment in his heart. In the past few days, she and Su Qing traveled side by side, taking care of her and helping her deal with all the obstacles along the way. He stayed by her side all this time.


    Every morning when she woke up and saw him, her heart was filled with joy. Every day, she would be able to logically accompany him. Would he be like her? Would she be happy in her heart?


    There were many poisonous plants in the forest. Every time Qiao Liangjin encountered one, he would explain the toxicity and antidote of the poisonous plants in detail. As for Su Qingqing, she would quietly record down all the poisonous plants in her heart.


    The robotic cat, Pikachu, the handgun, gunpowder that Qiao Liangjin spoke of, all of these were things that he could vaguely guess at.


    Qiao Liangjin sometimes lamented. How could this ancient man accept all the weird things he said so easily without even the slightest bit of doubt?


    When they reached the top of the mountain, Qiao Liangjin saw that there were indeed many tents stationed at the foot of the mountain. She pointed to the tents and asked with a sense of loss: "Have we arrived?"


    Su Chen nodded and placed the small leopard down on the ground. He patted its head and was about to leave the mountain when he saw Qiao Liangjin sitting there unhurriedly.


    "Why?" Su Qingqing looked at Qiao Liangjin with a puzzled expression.


    Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, kneaded his knee and said, "I''m a bit tired, so I want to take a rest. Anyway, I can definitely make it there today."


    Qing Qing smiled lightly and also sat down beside Qiao Liangjin. She nodded and said: "Yes, we are at the military camp today anyway."


    The two remained silent. The flag of the military camp that was just inches away from them was fluttering in the wind. Even though they had cleared the area, they still wished that the military camp was empty.


    Qiao Liangjin stretched out his long legs and placed the little leopard on his lap. She suddenly sighed: "I don''t know ¡­" "How is my father now?"


    "If I die, your father will definitely be fine. Xuanyuan Kingdom needs their Prime Minister right now." Su Qing picked a stalk of grass and nibbled on it.


    "You are wrong. It is because you are dead that my father is in danger." Qiao Liangjin retorted.


    "Because my royal brother would be worried about your father conspiring against him? No, if you see how smart I am, my royal brother won''t be that much worse off. " He cleared his throat and smiled.


    Qiao Liangjin''s gaze drifted across her face. These days, she had already engraved everything on this person''s face into her mind. Even if they never saw each other again in the future, she could still clearly remember everything that belonged to this person.


    Right now, he was considering which person in the Southern Kingdom wanted to kill him. He had to find that person, and in his mind, he could clearly see that person''s figure. He knew that this person was the only one who could scheme and plot against him.


    However ¡­ He turned to look at Qiao Liangjin. He did not want to say it out loud. He knew that this person had a different meaning to Qiao Liangjin.


    After a while, Qiao Liangjin stood up and brushed off the dust on his butt. He pointed down the mountain and said, "Let''s go."


    The guards that had cleared the area were currently on patrol, upon seeing Qing Qing Qing, they hurriedly rushed over to salute her. After they had saluted, they saw that Qiao Liangjin was startled.


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin had tied up his long hair and was wearing a long, clean, and modified robe. Although his chest was protruding, it still made the guards suspicious.


    She held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and said, "This is the Seventh Princess, she travelled a thousand miles from the Royal City to come find me. "Long live Seventh Princess."


    When the guards heard it was the princess consort, they immediately bowed. This action made Qiao Liangjin blush, and he gently pulled his hand away from her palm. He complained in a low voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

 C131 Back to Camp

    Qiao Liangjin laughed. "Everyone, don''t be like this. I haven''t even passed through the door yet, so it can''t be counted as one."


    The guards'' expressions changed as they asked in a daze, "What?"


    Qing Shui held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and walked towards the army camp: "Let''s go back first, we have something to say."


    When the soldiers in the barracks heard that the Seventh Prince had returned, the rumor that he had died in the country broke by himself. All the soldiers stood at the entrance of the barracks with high morale.


    After clearing away his clothes, he changed into a moon-white embroidered robe and stood on the platform. He looked at the soldiers below the stage and suddenly smiled.


    The laughter was so beautiful that even Qiao Liangjin, who was standing below, was momentarily stunned. She softly cursed, "What a monster."


    Su Qingyun raised his arms and asked, "Warriors and soldiers, do you see that? This King is alive. "


    All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted.


    Su Xiaoxiao put down his arm and smiled, "Someone wants this king dead and wants to shake the very foundation of Xuanyuan Nation. Although this king does not know who did it, this king will definitely find out the truth. It''s just that we''ve worked hard for the soldiers, and we''ve toiled here for three months. "


    Before the soldiers could reply, Qing Shui said again, "It''s time to go home."


    Qiao Liangjin was startled. What did he mean? Didn''t they say that they were going to push Nan Li onto the throne? Why did this person suddenly decide to return home?


    All of the soldiers were startled as well. They didn''t understand what Su Qing meant. After bitterly staying here for three months, they originally thought that Elite Armaments would attend, so why did they want to return just like that?


    The corner of her clear lips curled up as she smiled and said, "We don''t need to help the Southern Kingdom anymore. They will definitely have a way to calm this war. We will now set out to return to Xuanyuan Kingdom."


    Qiao Liangjin couldn''t help but secretly give Qing Qing a thumbs up. This man was indeed a battling talent. When it came to figuring out people''s thoughts, he was truly incomparable.


    After they returned to their resting place, Qiao Lianjin asked, "You are putting pressure on the Southern Kingdom. In order not to be annexed, the Southern Kingdom will definitely cede the land to the Eastern Kingdom."


    Qing Qing took a sip of her tea, looked at Qiao Liangjin and smiled lightly: "He cut off his land, what does it have to do with me?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Qing Shui''s cunning face and suddenly laughed. He gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are even more cunning than a fox. I will be on my guard against you in the future."


    He got up and walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side. His fingers brushed past her long hair and pulled it behind her ears as he softly said: "I said that I will protect you for the rest of my life. Trust me, okay?"


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the pair of eyes that were as black as the night. She opened her mouth, and under the gaze of those beautiful eyes, she almost blurted out those two words.


    She tried her best to turn her head and point at a place not too far away. "You put that little leopard there. Aren''t you afraid that it will piss on your documents?"


    Su Bai looked towards the direction Qiao Lianjin was pointing and shook his head, "Jin''er, you always like to interrupt the topic, why ¡­" Can''t you trust me? "


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and turned around, seriously looking at those clear eyes. She raised her hand, and ran her fingers along her forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin, and laughed: "You''re really good-looking, you might be the most beautiful man I''ve ever seen in the world. I remember a movie saying, the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceptive they are, and I think that men are the same."


    Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, while his eyes were full of questions.


    "If I trust you and rely on you, I will feel very sad when the day comes when you change all of a sudden."


    "How could I ¡­"


    "Don''t say it, don''t ever speak of those promises. Clear up. I believe in your certainty at this moment, but I believe in the future variables more." "You and I will never be able to escape from this fate. The hands of destiny will turn us from the closest of friends into the ones who hate each other the most."


    After hearing those words, his heart suddenly hurt. How could ¡­ how could this happen? He could not allow this to happen. How could he just watch as she became his enemy? He would not let this happen.


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes were full of seriousness. She knew that at this moment, everything she said might happen in the near future. Everything she had done up till now was in accordance with her heart. If she became an enemy in the future, then she would definitely be ruthless.


    The clear phoenix eyes glanced at Qiao Liangjin in disappointment. It then turned around and walked to the table. Putting away the map, it said indifferently, "I will send someone to send you back. I will return to the Royal City soon."


    For some reason, Qiao Liangjin felt a little disappointed when he saw her reaction. She turned around and looked at the hill outside. Thinking about the two of them in the forest, she suddenly felt as if she had been separated by a lifetime.


    That''s right, she was so smart, how could he not know the dangers of being together with her? Qiao Liangjin smiled inwardly and felt a little stuffy. Walking out of the Commander''s Tent, she took a few deep breaths and clutched her chest.


    Something stuck there, unable to swallow or spit out. She suddenly pointed her middle finger at the sky and yelled, "What the f * ck!"


    His voice was surprisingly loud, startling the surrounding officers. All of them turned their heads to look at Qiao Liangjin.


    Only then did Qiao Liangjin feel more at ease. He slowly walked towards the tent that the guards had prepared for her.


    That little leopard, on the other hand, was a small and exquisite little animal. Seeing Qiao Liangjin going out, he scrambled down from the table and ran out with Qiao Lianjin with a ''wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu''.


    He stopped what he was doing and looked deeply at the skinny and weak figure. Listening to the curse at the sky, he slowly clenched his fist, suppressing the desire to rush over. He knew that this road to win Qiao Liangjin''s trust and heart was still very long.


    Qiao Liangjin returned to the tent and threw himself onto the simple bed. She rested her head on her hands and stared blankly at the top of the tent, until the little leopard came whining and twittering under the bed. It made Qiao Liangjin a little irritated, so he fished it out and placed it beside his pillow.


    Qiao Liangjin let out a faint sigh, turned around and lay down on his side, staring at the little leopard in front of him. She gently caressed the little leopard''s head and began to worry about the little fox and the few people in the forest.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart still felt a little stuffy. At first, she thought it was because of her state of mind after talking to Su Qingqing, but now that she was lying on the bed, she felt her body getting softer and softer. He didn''t even have the strength to lift his fingers.


    She was somewhat puzzled. Why didn''t she see Hong Liang just now, and why did she hear the little fox, Yuesheng, screaming? Grabbing onto the little leopard by the pillow, she asked him what was going on. The neither cold nor hot Hong Chen was still beside her, cursing her not to turn back to look for them ¡­


    How tired he was, Qiao Liangjin didn''t even have the strength to lift his eyelids and he fell into a deep sleep.


    Red Dust and the others followed the trail and rushed to the camp. The little fox, Yu Sheng, pointed at the clearing with a huff and asked where Qiao Liangjin was hiding.


    After receiving his answer, Yuesheng hurriedly rushed into Qiao Liangjin''s tent. Upon entering, he saw Qiao Liangjin lying down with his back facing the door. He angrily ran to the table and poured himself a large cup of tea.


    Qiao Liangjin was still lying on the bed quietly without any reaction.


    This Qiao Liangjin had left him with a few other people in the jungle while Su Chen and Su Moyu were the first to leave. This caused him to worry for so long, so why did he still ignore him when he heard his movements? He walked over angrily and pushed Qiao Liangjin''s arm.


    His little phoenix eyes immediately turned red. He grabbed the little milk leopard, shook Qiao Liangjin''s arm and asked loudly, "Hey, do you have any conscience? Our team has been looking so hard for you, and you''re even hugging a little thing and sleeping!"


    After shaking it a few times, Qiao Liangjin did not show any reaction. Yu Sheng felt that something was amiss, as he gently swayed Qiao Liangjin''s body. She was still in her original position and had no intention of waking up.


    Yu Sheng''s heart sank. He threw away the little leopard and turned around to charge out, pulling Red Dust with him as he charged into Qiao Liangjin''s tent. Yu Sheng''s heart sank as he threw the little leopard away and turned around to charge out, pulling Red Dust with him as he rushed into Qiao Liangjin''s tent again.


    Hong Chen''s pupils contracted slightly as she said, "Go and call the Seventh Marquis over. I''ll go and see what''s going on now."


    Yuesheng obediently released the red dust and ran towards the camp.


    The red dust had almost instantly moved into Qiao Liangjin''s tent. He stood at the head of the bed and gently straightened Qiao Liangjin''s body, then placed his fingertips on Qiao Liangjin''s wrist. He then looked carefully at Qiao Liangjin''s face and only saw a ball of black smoke moving between Qiao Liangjin''s brows.


    Before he could peel off Qiao Liangjin''s eyelids, a gust of red wind rushed up from behind him and pulled her into his embrace.


    Hong Chen tactfully retreated and stood to the side.


    Qing Qing hugged Qiao Liangjin, her expression was anxious, but her tone was gentle as she raised her eyes and asked: "What''s going on?"


    Red Dust lightly patted the dust off his clothes, flung his long hair behind him, and smiled. "Snake poison."


    "Hmm?"


    "I''m not sure about that. It should always be some sort of cultivation snake. The poisonous gas it spews has harmed her foundation." Hong Chen slowly said.


    He gradually cleared his vision and frowned. That''s right, he remembered that after he killed one of the pythons, he saw Qiao Liangjin escaping from the other python. It must have been due to the poison at that time.

 C132 Sleeping Beauty

    She gently brushed away the messy hair on her face, then carefully placed her on the bed. Carefully covering herself with the blanket, she got up and asked: "What should I do?"


    Red Dust pointed to the capital of the Guided Country and said, "There are many medicinal families in the Southern Kingdom. When you go to the Southern City, find someone to treat them. In particular, it''s the Ning Seal. It''s even a sacred hand, so ¡­"


    After clearing up the silence, he looked back at Qiao Liangjin, who was getting darker and darker. He said calmly, "Okay, let''s go to the south side of the city."


    The soldiers who were just about to return to Xuanyuan, suddenly heard the news of changing their direction to go to South City. Many soldiers had already begun to discuss in private what had happened.


    He was focused on that person on the bed. He never knew what it meant to blame himself, but today, his heart was in a mess, filled with guilt. If he hadn''t guided Qiao Liangjin to this forest, perhaps she wouldn''t have met the python ¡­


    Perhaps if he had killed the two pythons earlier, he might not have let her get hurt ¡­


    Or he shouldn''t have ¡­


    He had never known that he would have so many assumptions in his heart. If he had always been a pragmatic man, then to him, there were only certain things and no assumptions. But now, his heart was in turmoil.


    The woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed had continuously pushed away the water in his heart, making him willingly sink into depravity.


    Lu Li came in and stood next to Su Ming. He looked at his hands on his knees and lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking. What he was about to say turned into a sigh.


    After hearing Lu Li''s sigh, she looked up in confusion. Seeing that Lu Li wanted to say something, she asked in a low voice, "What is it?"


    Lu Li pointed to the door, got up and walked to the door.


    As soon as Lu Li went out, he kneeled in front of Su Qing and said, "Your Highness, if the original plan is changed, the military camp will be thrown into chaos."


    Su Ling raised her gaze and looked at the soldiers that were still idle. With a calm voice, she said, "Find out who is the leader and kill him."


    Lu Li was startled. He stood up and stood in front of Su Qing. His face was serious as never before. "Don''t be reckless, Your Highness."


    Qing followed Lu Li''s arm and looked at his face. Her voice was still indifferent as she said, "Lu Li, do you really want to go to the Sword Crafting Villa?"


    Lu Li''s hand paused for a second. He then bit his teeth and said, "Your Highness, think twice."


    His finger was like a bolt of lightning, lightly touching Lu Li''s shoulder and pushing him to the side.


    Lu Li clutched at his shoulder and backed off. A sharp pain came from his shoulder and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to kneel at the entrance of the tent.


    Lu Li knew that a sudden change in his original plan would cause the morale of the troops to become unstable. He was a guard who had cleared up the area, so he couldn''t allow others to clear out the traitors.


    Zi Yan walked out of the tent with the water basin. Seeing Lu Li covered his head with sweat as he knelt by the door, she was shocked and asked, "What are you doing here, Big Brother Lu?"


    "Please, Lady Ziyan, help Lu Li. Don''t let the king change his military order as he pleases." Every word that Lu Li said required him to use up all of his strength.


    Red Dust, who was resting with his eyes closed, looked at Qiao Liangjin who was lying on the bed after hearing Lu Li''s words. He sneered and said, "What a beauty disaster."


    He raised his finger and a silver light flashed. A silver needle shot toward the red dust. The red dust cloud slightly tilted to the side and the silver needle stabbed into the pillar behind the red dust cloud.


    Hong Chen gave a faint smile and said, "You really do look like you''re the unconscious one."


    Standing up, he stretched lazily and said, "You can''t waver in your army''s morale. Seventh Prince, how about this? You bring your soldiers back to Xuanyuan. I''ll take this girl to the south of the city to look for Ning Ying."


    Su Qing glanced at Hong Chen and sneered, "Why should I believe you?"


    Hong Chen spread out her hands and imitated Qiao Liangjin. She shrugged and said, "It''s not that you don''t believe me, it''s because your current position is such that you can only do this."


    He rubbed his thumb and forefinger together gently. Looking at Qiao Liangjin on the bed, he got up and walked to Lu Li''s side. With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Li fell to the ground with a sound of "Ah".


    Lu Li got up and kneeled in front of Su Qing again. He kowtowed heavily and said, "I will risk my life to take care of Princess Hua-Yang. Please be at ease, Your Highness."


    "Get up, prepare the carriage," he said calmly. "Bring Princess Consort Wang to the south city first, and I will return to Xuanyuan first, but Ning''er is a gentleman, so I won''t use her to threaten me. Otherwise, I will use all the power in my country to flatten this entire south country!"


    His words were calm and ruthless, causing Lu Li, who was kneeling on the ground, to shudder.


    After the carriage was ready, Lu Li carried Qiao Liangjin onto the carriage. He put Qiao Liangjin on the bed as if he was a treasure, and gently covered him with the blanket. Then, he instructed Zi Yan, "If anything happens, please get Lu Li to inform me in time. No matter how far I go, I will definitely make it back in time."


    It was only when Zi Yan firmly nodded her head that she finally jumped down from the carriage and watched as it slowly drove out of the barracks.


    Hong Chen rode on a dark horse and smiled brightly at Qing Qing, "Don''t worry, Hong Chen is entrusted by someone else, so she will definitely take good care of Miss Qiao. Prince, you just have to wait for us at the capital."


    After sweeping a glance at the red dust, she turned around and walked towards the Commander''s Tent.


    Hong Chen felt slightly deflated. She awkwardly smiled, pinched the horse''s belly and pulled on the reins before leaving with the rest of the carriage.


    Yuesheng held the small leopard and rocked it in her carriage. Looking at Qiao Liangjin, who had no intention of waking up, she asked, "Sister Ziyan, do you think she will wake up?"


    Zi Yan nodded with certainty. "The little miss has her own way. Nothing will happen. Little fox, is there really nothing you can do about your eight hundred years of cultivation?"


    Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng replied with a bitter face, "If I am not injured, I should have a way to deal with this venomous snake."


    As he said that, he flicked the little panther''s forehead and said, "If your mother hadn''t run so fast, how could something have happened to Master? Isn''t it all your mother''s doing? "


    The little leopard felt pain as it bit onto Yu Sheng''s finger. The pain caused Yu Sheng to loosen his grip on the little leopard and cover his fingers as he cried out loudly. After a while, he sighed and said, "If it was in the past, she would have gotten up and scolded me. Why are you crying out like that? I''m not used to her not calling me now."


    When Zi Yan heard this, her nose turned sour. She sniffed and tapped Yu Sheng''s forehead and said, "You really deserve to be scolded."


    It was already four days after they arrived at the southern part of the city. After Zi Yan settled Qiao Liangjin down, she brought some water to clean her body.


    Red Dust went out to take a look around the southern city before bringing a few pieces of female clothing back and tossing them to Yusheng.


    Yuesheng brought the clothes into Qiao Liangjin''s room. When Zi Yan saw the clothes, she asked in surprise, "Yuesheng, you bought them?"


    Yuesheng pointed towards the door and said, "That lunatic bought it."


    Zi Yan smiled and took off Qiao Liangjin''s clothes and tidied up everything properly. Then, she stepped out of the door and said to Hong Chen, "I''ve already packed up young miss. You can go find Prince Ning now."


    Hong Chen nodded and left the inn.


    Zi Yan felt that she hadn''t been inside for long before the door was heavily pushed open. A figure stood beside the bed like a gust of wind.


    When Zi Yan saw who it was, he said, "Zi Yan greets Prince Ning."


    "You''re excused." Ning Ying frowned, and didn''t even have the time to look up at Zi Yan. He just sat down by the bed and lightly placed his fingers on Qiao Liangjin''s wrist.


    Zi Yan quietly retreated to the side and waited for Ning Xuemo to issue the question.


    Unexpectedly, Ning Ying stood up and carried Qiao Liangjin in his arms, preparing to leave. Zi Yan hastily asked, "Prince, what are you doing?"


    "Go to This King''s residence and rest there." Ning Xi did not stop and carried Qiao Liangjin downstairs.


    Zi Yan looked at Ning Ying''s back and bitterly smiled. This person''s character was somewhat similar to Su Chen''s. He turned around and started packing, leaving the inn with the little leopard in his arms.


    The news of Ning Xi carrying a woman back to his residence had already spread throughout the entire Southern City within half a day.


    All the curious people were asking who the woman Ning Ying had brought back.


    The Southern Sudan had rushed to the Star-Moon Pavilion with the news of Ning Ying returning with an unfamiliar woman in his arms. At that time, Yu Linglong was looking at the moon, mournfully mourning for the ''death'' of the person who purged her.


    Hearing that Ning Xian had brought the woman back to Ning Wang Manor, Yu Ling asked in puzzlement, "Just taking a girl back, what kind of news is this?"


    The Southern Sudan placed the purple jade grape in his hand on the table and smiled, "Ning Ying is famous for her cleanliness, and is also famous for not liking women. Now that she has returned home with a woman, she should be a very important person."


    Yu Linglong smiled, "Why, the Third Prince seems a little jealous. That Ning seal is only a king with another surname, what are you worried about?"


    The Southern Sudan peeled off a grape and gave it to Yu Linglong. Looking at her, he said, "Ning Xi''s position in the Southern Kingdom is higher than you think. If he wants you to live, then even if the King of Hell comes, he won''t be able to do anything to you. I''m very worried about his position. "


    Yu Linglong was not very interested in this fight for the throne, she yawned and said: "I''m going back."


    The Southern Sudan was startled, and blurted out a question, "Go where?"


    "Where to? Of course it''s to return to Xuanyuan Kingdom. Now that the Seventh Prince is here, it''s time for me to return as well. " When she thought of how she had suffered so much since she was young until now, and how she had actually died, Yu Linglong felt sad in her heart. She was no longer in the mood to eat grapes.

 C133 Detoxification of Endosperm

    Hearing that Yu Linglong wanted to go back, the Southern Sudan''s heart warmed. He held her hand and said, "Linglong, don''t go. The sun and the moon can tell you what I think of you. Can you stay and be my imperial concubine?"


    Yu Linglong got rid of the Southern Sudan''s hand, and replied with a cold look on her face: "Third Prince, take it seriously. "I am from Xuanyuan, so it is inconvenient for me to stay here if I don''t go back. Tomorrow, I will go back. Please don''t go too far." With that, he stood up and left the pavilion.


    The Southern Sudan watched as Yu Linglong left. His fist gradually curled up and heavily fell on the table.


    Inside King Ning''s Mansion.


    Ning Xian placed Qiao Liangjin in the garden, then had the butler find a few maids, while he himself hurriedly left the garden.


    Yu Sheng looked around in the garden, praising, "This Prince Ning is giving our master the red coral trees so generously. I thought he was rich. These decorations are pretty much the same as our Prime Minister''s residence."


    Red Dust was sitting in the hallway as he calmly cultivated. When he heard Yu Sheng''s words, he smirked and said, "Some people look very safe for themselves. In fact, if they bite you back one day, you''ll lose your life."


    Yuesheng gave a baffled glance at Hong Chen. Rubbing her nose, she said, "Hong Chen, what are you really? Why couldn''t I see the scar I left on your neck last time? "


    Hong Chen''s hand caressed her neck, smiling faintly: "Or is your fox fire not strong enough?"


    "You are not human." Yu Sheng said sharply.


    "Sounds like you''re cursing." Red Dust didn''t want to answer directly.


    "Come, let us exchange blows. I must know what you are." With a "teng" sound, a fox fire was ignited in Yu Sheng''s palm.


    Hong Chen gave a faint smile as he leaned against the vermilion pillar, supporting his cheek with one hand as he leisurely gazed at the not too distant open peony.


    Just as Yuesheng was about to strike out at Red Dust, the door opened with a creak. Purple Smoke said in a reprimanding tone, "You two want to fight? Stay far away from her. Don''t disturb her rest."


    Yu Sheng''s eyes lit up as he asked in pleasant surprise, "Is she awake?"


    Zi Yan shook her head and looked back into the room. She said softly, "Miss is actually very tired. Such a big family has to be worried about. The journey is extremely tiring. It''s also good. We can take advantage of this illness to have a good rest."


    Yu Sheng tiptoed and looked through the door. The little leopard eagerly walked towards him, its little head rubbing against his legs.


    Zi Yan pointed at the little leopard and said, "Yuesheng, this should be little miss''s favorite pet now. Take good care of it."


    With a bitter face, Yuesheng shook his head and said, "No, no. I don''t have it with me."


    "How old are you? How old are you? Do you think your mistress will choose between you and this little leopard? Who do you think she will choose?"


    Of course, he knew that he did not have any status at all with Qiao Liangjin. If he really allowed Qiao Liangjin to choose between him and the little leopard, then Qiao Liangjin would not hesitate to choose the little leopard.


    Helpless, he could only hug the small leopard and walk over to the servant girl who was chuckling while covering her mouth. With an innocent expression, he asked, "Little sister, may I ask where is the kitchen?"


    The servant girl hurriedly pointed in a direction, and Yu Sheng led the leopard to look for food.


    Zi Yan walked to the opposite side of the world of mortals and sat down facing the world of mortals. She asked gently, "You hate the little miss, right?"


    Red Dust scoffed, "Why do I like her? What''s so good about her that I have to like her? "


    Zi Yan smiled faintly. "No matter what, you''ve done your best. Thank you."


    Hong Chen immediately stood up and waved her sleeves, saying, "Who cares about your thanks? I''m going to rest." After saying that, he hurriedly left the mirror garden.


    Zi Yan couldn''t help but laugh. Hong Chen''s personality was truly unpredictable. No wonder Yu Cheng didn''t think that he was human.


    Ever since Ning Ying had settled down at Qiao Liangjin''s residence, he had disappeared without a trace. Zi Yan could only patiently wait for him to return. She sent Ah Bai to ask the butler a few times, but the answer was that the prince said he would be back very soon.


    It wasn''t until late at night that Zi Yan turned off the lights and rested after confirming that Ning Ying wouldn''t be coming.


    When dawn arrived, there was an urgent knock on the door. The moment Zi Yan opened her eyes, she jumped up from the bed, put on her clothes as fast as she could, and went to open the door.


    Outside the door, Ning Xi''s body was stained with blood. Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she said, "Hurry up and go cook some yellow wine. Warm it up will be enough."


    Zi Yan left the room.


    After Ning Xi entered the room, she placed the wide-mouthed bottle on the table. She took out a pearl-sized silver pill and placed it in her teacup to clean it.


    When Zi Yan returned with the malt yellow wine, Ning Ying put the silver pellet into Qiao Liangjin''s mouth, then pinched Qiao Liangjin''s chin and poured the malt yellow wine into her mouth.


    Zi Yan curiously asked, "What is this?"


    "Inner core." Ning Ying replied simply.


    Only then did Zi Yan carefully examine the Ningxia Seal that hadn''t appeared the previous night. It was obvious that he had gone through a fierce battle. There were some fine and fragmented scars on the back of his hand, his hair was a little messy, and there were some bloodstains on the corners of his robes.


    Ning Ying saw Qiao Liangjin''s throat move and finally let out a breath of relief. "I''ll go wash myself first. Later, I''ll bring some medicine and let your young miss take it in time. Your young lady will wake up in three days."


    Zi Yan was overjoyed and immediately thanked Fortune.


    After Ning Ying left, Zi Yan wiped Qiao Lianjin''s face and said softly, "Miss, you''re finally out of danger. Your servant saw that Prince Ning still has wounds on his body. I guess it must have been hard for you to find this inner core."


    Qiao Liangjin''s expression was as calm as ever and he showed no signs of waking up.


    On the other hand, Yuesheng who had rushed over upon hearing the news pinched his nose and screamed the moment he entered, "Why is there such a foul smell here? Who let the snake in?"


    He walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side and waved his hands nonstop. He frowned and said, "Did she eat the snake''s inner core? Her entire body is reeking of the snake''s stench."


    Violet Smoke sniffed the air with all her might, but there was no smell at all.


    When he saw that the purple smoke did not seem to be able to smell anything, he said helplessly, "I have lived for 800 years. This snake has lived for at least 300 years. "What a pity. A good cultivation experience has been killed."


    Zi Yan was startled and said, "No wonder Prince Ning''s body is covered with wounds. It seems like he''s an extraordinary snake."


    Yu Sheng nodded and said, "That''s true. An ordinary snake does not have cultivation experience. It does not have an inner core. The inner core is required for this snake poison."


    Before he could finish his sentence, a grumbling voice came from the door: "Why is this person so disgusting? He got a viper''s neidan, it really stinks!"


    Zi Yan was once again stunned. Eight hundred years old, Yu Sheng could only smell the scent of a three-hundred-year-old snake. Why was it that the red dust in front of him could sense what snake it was?


    Red Dust covered his nose as he walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side. He shook his head and said, "This stench is so disgusting. The smell that comes from my body. Does it have to be so strong to get rid of the snake poison?"


    Yu Sheng sneered. "You can do it, you can do it. Haven''t you done anything in the past few days? You can dispel the venom, so why are you still here?"


    Zi Yan suddenly felt as if something was wrong with her nose, and she sniffed the air with all her might. There was no smell at all, so why did the expressions on their faces suddenly become so evil?


    Red Dust swept a glance at Yu Sheng, who was retching, and said as he walked towards the door, "Wait for me for a long time. I''ll come back after she''s finished purging the snake venom."


    Yu Sheng retched as he said loudly, "Don''t come back. You ran so fast."


    When Zi Yan saw how Yu Sheng was about to vomit tears, she said in pain, "It smells so bad. Don''t stay here. I can''t smell anything. You should get out."


    Yu Sheng stared at Zi Yan with tears in his eyes. He said with an expression, "If Mistress wakes up, remember to tell her. It''s not that I don''t want to accompany her, it''s because the smell is really unpleasant. If I continue smelling it, I''ll definitely die."


    Zi Yan nodded her head and sent off Yu Sheng, who was vomiting.


    He entered the door and carefully looked at Qiao Liangjin, whose complexion was gradually getting better. He then turned around and wrote some herbs on a piece of paper, and passed it to a servant at the side, "Go to the palace and get some medicine, you''ll have to get all the best."


    Zi Yan waited until Ning Ying finished writing the prescription before asking, "My lord, why is it that the little fox can smell a stench? Will that stench hurt the young lady? "


    "Hm?" He asked, "Stink?" Did the little fox smell it? "


    Zi Yan nodded.


    Ning Ying smiled and said, "The venom of a snake. That inner core is used to expel venom, and the venom is emitted from the skin. That''s why it smells terrible, but only those with a keen nose can smell it."


    Zi Yan asked again, "How long before it disappears? Is it possible that you will always be with the young miss? "


    Ning Ying looked at Qiao Lianjin who was on the bed and said indifferently, "Even if I am here all the time, I won''t mind."


    Who told you not to give up? If the little fox got close to Qiao Liangjin and vomited, it was hard to say if Qiao Liangjin would be angry and peel off the little fox''s skin. She was thinking for the little fox''s little life!


    Ning Ying looked at Zi Yan''s strange expression and asked, "You have a question?"


    Zi Yan reluctantly smiled and said: "No, it''s been hard on you. Your highness definitely has other things to do, so this servant won''t delay any longer."


    "Have you guys gotten used to the food in the mansion?" Ning Ying suddenly asked brainlessly.


    "Huh?" Zi Yan was at a loss.


    "I''m asking, are you used to eating the food in the mansion?" Ning Ying patiently asked again.


    A blush immediately appeared on Zi Yan''s face. She nodded and said, "I''m used to it. Many thanks to the prince."


    Only then did Ning Xi stand up and walk out of the room, "That''s good ¡­" That''s good ¡­ "That way, Jin''er won''t miss the food in the kingdom and can be at ease ¡­"

 C134 Dream Back to Modernity

    Zi Yan didn''t hear the rest of his words clearly and returned to Qiao Liangjin''s side. She carefully massaged Qiao Liangjin''s calf and muttered, "Prince Ning also seems to be a strange person."


    Qiao Liangjin seemed to have had a very long dream.


    She dreamt that she had returned to that reinforced concrete city, expressionlessly shuttling back and forth in the crowd. Every time she received the order to assassinate someone, she would prepare herself a week ago, and as long as the money was in her account, she would skillfully send that fiery hot bullet into someone''s chest or head.


    However, somewhere in her heart was emptiness. A blurry figure always appeared in her mind. That person wore a red brocade robe, and his chest was partially exposed. He was leaning against a peach tree. His exquisite collarbone seemed to be tempting her ¡­ She could not see the man''s face clearly, and could only hear the soft sigh of a baritone.


    Every time she thought of that sigh when she woke up, Qiao Liangjin''s heart would throb inexplicably. She wanted to find that person and see his face clearly. She wanted to ask why he sighed.


    Milk, red wine, beef, the hustle and bustle of the city disturbed her thoughts. She was always lonely, as if she did not belong in this world of colorful paper and drunk lights.


    Qiao Liangjin, who was riding a train from one city to another, looked at the scenery outside with a confused expression. She did not know what she was going to do, but she did not dare to stop.


    She walked around the city constantly, trying to find the owner of that sigh. She wanted to stop him and ask why he was sighing.


    Occasionally, when she woke up from her dream, she would call out some unfamiliar names. Whenever she saw a puppy, she would kneel down and ask, "Are you Yusheng?" Every time he thought about his strange reactions, Qiao Liangjin felt like going to see a psychiatrist.


    After they walked to the ends of the world, Qiao Liangjin booked a room. He changed out of his T-shirt and shorts and put on a long Bohemian dress. His hair was loose and tied behind his head. Looking at himself in the mirror, Qiao Liangjin faintly smiled.


    She was tired of living now, tired of killing people. If he couldn''t find the sighing man, Qiao Liangjin decided to wash his hands and spend the rest of his life on this island.


    The night was cold, and the sea breeze was not loud. Qiao Liangjin walked along the sea shore with his bare feet. The sea breeze blew past and messed up Qiao Liangjin''s long hair. She simply stood against the wind and spread her arms, allowing the wind to penetrate her.


    Without any precaution, a pair of arms grabbed Qiao Liangjin''s waist from behind. Qiao Liangjin''s heart skipped a beat and subconsciously grabbed the arm and with a shoulder throw, he threw the person behind him heavily onto the beach.


    The moonlight was very bright. Borrowing the moonlight, Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at the man lying on the ground. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The man wore a snow-white shirt, exposing half of his chest. He raised an arm to support his head, and with an indifferent expression, he smiled and said, "Lady''s temper is really big."


    Qiao Liangjin''s heartbeat sped up again. Why ¡­ why did this voice sound so familiar? She took a deep breath with all her might, trying to keep her heart pounding. She bent down slightly and asked softly, "Who are you?"


    The man followed Qiao Liangjin''s eyes and looked at her chin, neck, and then at her collar. Suddenly, a deep groove appeared in front of him.


    At the next moment, the man coughed up a nosebleed.


    He took out a tissue and covered his nose as he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn''t expect this young lady''s body to be so voluptuous. I really couldn''t resist it. Sorry."


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt slightly disappointed. He didn''t know why, could it be that the man in his heart shouldn''t be acting this way?


    The man sitting on the ground seemed to have noticed Qiao Liangjin''s disappointment. He stood up, wiped the blood off his nose and said, "It''s very dangerous here. Are you not afraid by yourself this late at night?"


    When he stood in front of Qiao Liangjin, she raised her head to look at his face, only to realize that he really was very tall. The person in her dreams seemed to be this tall as well ¡­


    The man stood in front of Qiao Liangjin and lowered his head to look at her smooth, jade-like face. He laughed softly and said, "You look so pretty."


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart seemed to be attracted by this small whisper, her slender fingers unconsciously climbed onto the man''s face, and her eyes were a little lost as she asked: "Is the person in the dream you?" Why do you sigh? "


    The man slightly frowned, he did not seem to understand the meaning behind Qiao Liangjin''s words. The smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes that were as black as ink stared at Qiao Liangjin.


    The sea breeze blew between the two of them, messing up Qiao Liangjin''s long hair.


    The man raised his head and tucked the hair on Qiao Liangjin''s face behind his ear. He sighed softly.


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin''s entire body trembled. She was so familiar with this movement, she had heard this voice countless times in her dreams. She, who was usually as cold as snow, actually impulsively hugged the man''s waist.


    "Clean it up, I miss you." She murmured softly.


    Ning Ying, who was taking care of Qiao Liangjin, was originally dozing off by his side. Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Qiao Liangjin, who was still sleeping.


    She said it, she said it, what she cared about was clearing up.


    Ning Ying''s face suddenly turned pale, and a pain began throbbing from the depths of his heart.


    He took out a silver needle and placed it on top of Qiao Liangjin''s head. The light in his eyes deepened as if he was hesitating, and he lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin''s lips which were as red as a cherry.


    With a moan, Qiao Liangjin slowly opened his eyes. It took a long time for his gaze to focus together. Seeing the stamp of Ning, Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. "It''s you."


    Ning Xi nodded with a faint smile and pulled out the silver needle from Qiao Liangjin''s forehead. She gently asked, "How do you feel?"


    With the help of Ning Ying, Qiao Liangjin sat up and stretched his body. Smiling, he said, "I slept very well. It''s just that I kept dreaming. I really had a good rest."


    Zi Yan pushed the door open and came in with dinner. Seeing Qiao Liangjin chatting with Ning Ying, she was elated and almost didn''t know how to walk. She hurriedly put down the plate in her hands and said, "Thank you, Prince Ning, Miss, you''re finally awake!"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded with an apologetic smile and said, "It''s been hard on you all. You have to work day and night for me. Oh right, where''s Yu Sheng?"


    Zi Yan heard that Qiao Lianjin was going to recruit Yu Sheng, so she immediately turned around and ran to the door. She stood there without a care and shouted loudly, "Yu Sheng, Hong Chen, Bai, Miss Kuan, you''ve awoken."


    Not long later, a kid in a apron, holding a small leopard, rushed into the room. He placed the little leopard in his hand on Qiao Liangjin''s leg and pinched Qiao Liangjin''s face with his small hands.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed at Yu Sheng''s forehead and pushed him away, saying, "It''s not like we haven''t seen each other in a few hundred years. What do you look like?"


    "Hmph. If you die, the contract between you and I will be dissolved. I really want you to die." Yu Sheng said venomously.


    Qiao Liangjin made a face and said, "I''m lucky enough that I won''t die."


    Red Dust wobbled over to Qiao Liangjin''s bedside, glanced at her and frowned, "I found something. You can take a shower later, it''s so smelly."


    Qiao Liangjin carelessly smelled the scent on his sleeve, stuck out his tongue, and laughed: "Yeah, I also smell the stench, it seems to be the smell of that python I killed that day ¡­" At this point, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a headache. It was as if she had forgotten something and wanted to crawl out.


    When Ning Ying saw Qiao Liangjin, she was startled. Suddenly, she lowered her head and looked like she had a headache. She hurriedly said to the people who came in, "Your young miss has just woken up. She might still need more rest. You guys can leave first."


    Zi Yan looked at Qiao Liangjin with worry and could only leave the room with everyone.


    Qiao Liangjin gently rubbed his temples and said depressingly, "It seems like something is going to come out of my head. Aiya, could it be the parasite from that snake?"


    "What is a parasite?" Ning Ying asked.


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and leaned against the pillow behind him. He snapped his fingers and said, "Parasites are creatures that can only survive by relying on others. Perhaps my brain has already drilled into it, otherwise why would my head be so painful?"


    Ning Ying smiled lightly and passed a white jade bowl filled with thick medicinal liquid to Qiao Liangjin.


    With a bitter face, Qiao Liangjin asked, "It looks like it''s going to be tough. Can''t you make me some pills to swallow?"


    "No." Ning Ying''s answer was also straightforward.


    Qiao Liangjin drank all the juice in the white jade bowl as if he was eating poison. He wiped his lips with his sleeve and passed the bowl to Ning Ying, "Alright, I want to take a bath now. Call Ziyan in."


    Ning Xi nodded and left the room.


    The purple smoke neatly prepared Qiao Liangjin''s bath water, then put something that looked like a pink crystal into the water.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at the pink crystal and asked curiously: "What is that?"


    Zi Yan shook her head and replied, "I don''t know. Hong Chen went out to look for it. I heard it can completely remove the snake venom on your body."


    Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. After this illness, she discovered that her nose seemed to be abnormally sensitive. As she smelled the fishy smell coming from her body, she was on the verge of vomiting.


    He unhesitatingly took off all his clothes and stepped into the bath barrel. The warm water made her entire body relax. The pink crystal-like object started to emit a faint fragrance.


    Qiao Liangjin bent over beside the bath barrel, looking at the purple smoke that was busy preparing Qiao Liangjin''s clothes, and said, "I have a very strange feeling, I feel like Ning Gun did something to my body."

 C135 Heart Under the Moon

    Zi Yan was ironing her clothes. Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, the iron in her hand paused for a moment before she smiled and said, "Miss, you''re thinking too much. Prince Ning has been working really hard these past few days."


    Qiao Liangjin''s hand kept hitting the surface of the water as he replied lazily, "Of course I know, but why am I here? Why am I sleeping here? And I keep dreaming that I''m going back myself. "


    Zi Yan put the iron aside and walked over. She passed the handkerchief to Qiao Liangjin and gently wiped her back. "Miss, rest well and you will remember what happened."


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and then wrinkled his little face in frustration: "Why did I come to the Southern Kingdom, why did I get a small leopard, why was I poisoned, why ¡­" Why... There are so many reasons why they are in my mind. "


    When Zi Yan heard Qiao Liangjin''s complaints, she couldn''t help laughing out loud and said, "Miss, let''s not think about anything else that we can''t think of. After all, you''re awake now, aren''t you?"


    Qiao Liangjin nodded and smiled, "That''s true. Forget it, let''s tidy up a bit before returning to the Royal City."


    After Qiao Liangjin was done packing, Ning Wang sent a butler to invite Qiao Liangjin to dinner.


    Qiao Liangjin followed the butler to the back garden and saw a sea of flowers. In the middle of the sea of flowers was a white jade pavilion, which was surrounded by a goose-yellow cloth curtain.


    As the butler led the way, Qiao Liangjin slowly walked towards the pavilion while stepping on the fragrant flowers that filled the courtyard.


    When she saw Qiao Liangjin, she got up and welcomed him with a smile, "You''ve been sleeping for the past few days and haven''t eaten anything good. Thus, I had the chef I brought from the capital cook some delicacies for you to try."


    Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded and lightly smiled before sitting on the stone bench.


    When the dishes were served, Qiao Liangjin discovered that all the delicacies on the table were taken from the Fragrant Sky Restaurant. She grabbed her chopsticks in shock and tried the dish, then gave a thumbs up and said, "It''s really delicious. "Su ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin inexplicably said one word before he stopped moving. She was a little doubtful. Su? What? Why did he blurt out this word?


    After finishing the food in his mouth, Qiao Liangjin put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled apologetically, "I''m full, Ningxi."


    "You ¡­ "I''m in a bad mood." When Ning Xi heard that word, his palms started sweating, but he still looked at Qiao Liangjin indifferently.


    Qiao Liangjin sighed, poked his temple and said: "I don''t know, but it seems that something went wrong here." "Oh right, I''m going back."


    Ning Ying''s thick eyebrows slightly raised, and said with a voice that was not loud, "Why are you going back? Now that Xuanyuan Kingdom has come to help the Southern Kingdom in the midst of the war between the two countries, I am afraid that the Eastern Kingdom would intercept you on the way if they knew that you were here. "


    Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and wiped his palms with a wet handkerchief. He stood up and walked to the side of the pavilion. Looking at the flower blooming in the courtyard, he said, "Is there still time for me to be afraid?"


    Ning Xi was speechless, that''s right, his Qiao Liangjin had never been afraid, she was strong and independent, never relying on anyone, everything, as long as she thought of it, she would do it bravely, she would never care about her gains and losses, even if it meant paying her own life.


    Ning Ying took a deep breath and shook his head. "The Xuanyuan Nation has withdrawn their troops. Currently, our Southern Kingdom is in deep waters and in flames. I presume ¡­" Right now, it will be very difficult for you to leave the Southern Kingdom. "


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly turned around and looked at Ning Ying in surprise. Her brain was working hard to tell her that Xuanyuan Kingdom had retreated, and the Southern Kingdom was isolated and without help. She was the daughter of the Prime Minister, or perhaps she could become a chess piece threatening Xuanyuan Kingdom to continue helping out.


    Qiao Liangjin silently smiled, clapped and said, "Truly a good chess piece. I sometimes think, Ning Xi, just what are you thinking about me? No wonder you used so much strength to save me. It should be because of my identity. "


    Ning Ying''s pupils suddenly shrank. So that''s how she thought of him. Ning Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Jin''er, you ¡­ Don''t know my mother? " Ning Ying stood up and was about to walk towards Qiao Liangjin.


    However, unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin nimbly dodged him, walked to the entrance of the pavilion, and said without turning his head, "Since you saved me, I will leave your palace in seven days. If you do not send me away in seven days, I will carve a bloody path out of this Southern Kingdom. "Ning Ying, you know me. Since I''ve already said it, I will definitely do it."


    With that, he left the pavilion, leaving Ning Xi standing alone in the middle.


    Zi Yan followed Qiao Lianjin back to his room and asked anxiously: "Miss, will the prince put you under house arrest?"


    The corner of Qiao Liangjin''s lips curled up as he smiled and said: "He dares?"


    Late at night, Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and jumped onto the roof. He sat on the roof and looked towards the north. She thought of Qiao Zheng, thought of Qiao Ruo Ying, and thought of that rowdy family. She wanted to be alone ¡­ Although she didn''t know who that person was, she knew that person was also in the Royal City.


    Qiao Liangjin knew that Ning Xi must have changed his memory. Otherwise, why would that person be unable to rush into his mind?


    Qiao Liangjin was staring blankly towards the north when he heard a voice from under the roof, "Look at the moonlight. It''s such a good mood. Why don''t I come along as well and have a drink?"


    When Qiao Liangjin heard about the wine, he was overjoyed. "You''re still waiting for me to invite you! Hurry up and come up!"


    Red Dust stepped onto the roof and lightly walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side and sat down. Qiao Liangjin examined his clothes and said, "Why are there Resurrection Lily flowers on your clothes?"


    Hong Chen asked in surprise, "You actually know the Resurrection Lily?"


    Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes at Hong Chen. He grabbed the wineskin in his hand, opened the lid, and straightforwardly drank a few mouthfuls. He then wiped his mouth and passed the wineskin to Hong Chen.


    Hong Chen lowered her head to look at the wineskin in her hand and shook her head. "You don''t look like a woman at all."


    Qiao Liangjin carelessly leaned his elbows on his knees, his lips curled up and he gave an evil smile: "What''s wrong? How am I not a woman? I have everything that I should have, and I have everything that I shouldn''t have. If I want to, this entire world is mine. "


    Hong Chen pursed her lips and smiled contemptuously, "You''ve only drank two mouthfuls and you don''t know your surroundings."


    Qiao Liangjin laughed and pointed to Hong Chen''s clothes, "Flower of the Resurrection, Yuesheng always said that you are not a human. Could it be that you have cultivated the Resurrection Lily to a human level?"


    The expression in Hong Chen''s eyes darkened slightly before she smiled and said, "Miss Qiao, you are always so quick-witted, and you also have a rich imagination."


    Qiao Liangjin sighed, pointed at his head and said: "There is a name here that I can''t remember."


    "Bai Wu?"


    "I know Bai Wuyu."


    "That would be clearing up."


    "Clear? Clear up? "Clear up ¡­" Qiao Liangjin muttered as his mind searched desperately for someone, but it was completely empty and she couldn''t think of anything.


    "Forget it, don''t even think about it. When you return to the capital, you will be able to see him." "Like I said, the more seemingly kind people are on the surface, the less likely they will do anything." Red Dust drank a few mouthfuls of wine, then fished out a bag of beef jerky. He opened the paper packet, picked up a piece of jerky and threw it into his mouth, chewing on it slowly.


    Qiao Liangjin stopped rubbing the top of his head and laughed: "You''re right, why should I be serious with myself now? When we go back, everything will become clear."


    Qiao Liangjin ate a few mouthfuls of beef jerky, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, and belched a few mouthfuls of wine. He then asked, "Hey, do you have a habit of breaking your sleeves?"


    "What does that mean?"


    "In other words, you like Bai Wu?"


    "Bullshit." The mortal world scoffed.


    Qiao Liangjin burped again and said: "But you are very protective of him. It looks like you can give up your life for him."


    Red Dust was lying on his back on the tile. He had one hand on his pillow as he looked at the moon in the sky. He smiled and said, "That''s right. I protected him. He nourished me with his blood and bone. I will repay him for life."


    The more Qiao Liangjin heard, the more he felt that something was amiss. Why did it even involve blood and bones? She looked at Hong Chen''s face carefully, shook her head, and said, "The two of you are even related in bone and blood? I can''t help but think, can you talk properly? "


    Hong Chen coldly snorted again. "Are you even a woman now?"


    "Who said that women should not think random thoughts? "Since ancient times, I have listened to the story of how men and men falling in love." Qiao Liangjin said calmly.


    Red Dust cast another glance at Qiao Liangjin, indicating that he didn''t want to talk to her anymore.


    Qiao Liangjin heard the disdainful snort from Hong Chen''s nose. She grinned and waved, "Forget it, I''m not in the wrong. If you guys really love each other, I should be wishing you well, not gossiping. Not to mention, my thinking is so avant-garde, I can accept anything."


    The more Hong Chen heard, the more unreliable she felt. She turned around and said, "I really don''t know what''s so good about you."


    When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he burst out laughing. She raised her wine bag and stood up, pointing at the moon, "What''s so good about me? "I can restrain myself, I can protect myself, I can protect the people around me, I''ve always been a person that doesn''t offend me, I won''t offend anyone. Am I not very outstanding?"


    When Red Dust heard these words, he coldly snorted once again.


    Qiao Liangjin realized that Hong Chen was not going to respond, so she sat back down. She poked her arm with her wine bag and said, "Forget it, I''m going to sleep. I''ll return the wine to you. I''m going to sleep."


    Hong Chen waved her hand without turning her head back.


    Qiao Liangjin felt bored and could only jump off the roof and return to his room.


    It was just dawn when Qiao Liangjin heard the clamor coming from the yard. She got up and put on her clothes and went out. She was surprised to find that this small garden was filled with guards wearing khaki clothes.


    One of the guards who seemed to be the leader of the group walked over, cupped his hands and bowed towards Qiao Liangjin, "Greetings Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao, His Majesty welcomes you."


    Qiao Liangjin immediately understood why so many guards had arrived. She smiled sweetly and said, "Sure, I''ll go clean up."


    The guard quickly stopped Qiao Liangjin from entering the palace and smiled. "No need, no need, Miss Qiao. All the things in the palace are already prepared. His Majesty wants to invite Miss to stay in the palace for a few days."

 C136 Contention

    Qiao Liangjin spread out his hands, still smiling as before, and said: "Then I''ll go alone. Let my guards and maids stay here."


    The captain hesitated for a moment before he nodded and gestured, "Please."


    Qiao Liangjin put his hands behind his back and walked out of King Ning''s Mansion with an indifferent look on his face.


    By the time Ning Xi had gotten the news, Qiao Liangjin was already locked up in Star Seizer Pavilion.


    Ning Ying didn''t even have time to change into his official robe before he went to the imperial study. When Southern Emperor Nanyang saw Ning Ying enter, he put down the memorial in his hand and said with a smile, "Ying''er is here."


    Ning Ying hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."


    Nanyang hurriedly went forward to help Ning Ying up and said, "I wanted to call you into the palace to begin with, but you didn''t want to come. I''ve already ordered people to take Qiao Liangjin away from your mansion."


    Ning Ying didn''t think that Nan Yang would actually bring up this matter himself. He hurriedly bowed again, but was firmly stopped by Nan Yang.


    Ning Xi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as she replied, "Your Majesty, Miss Qiao is a patient of this humble subject''s. Her body is not fully recovered yet, and there''s no one left to look after her in this palace. This humble subject is very worried ¡­"


    Nan Yang seemed to have considered everything as he smiled and said, "I know that you like this woman, but you should know the situation in the Southern Kingdom better than anyone else. I think that all the hope for saving the Southern Kingdom lies with this woman."


    "But Your Majesty, she is just a weak girl. What can she do? Even if she is the daughter of Prime Minister Qiao, Prime Minister Qiao will definitely abandon her in front of the country''s justice. Your Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for a woman? "


    Nan Yang listened to Ning Ying''s words quietly, and his originally smiling face disappeared. Replacing it was a serious expression, which was filled with disbelief as he looked at Ning Ying, "You''re done speaking? Ning Xi, you must know that you are a subject of our Southern Kingdom. "


    Ning Ying hurriedly got down on one knee and apologized, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."


    "Don''t say anything else for now. We''ve already brought her into the palace, so it''s useless for you to say anything more. I didn''t say that we wouldn''t allow you to meet. You can go see her and treat her."


    When Nan Yang finished speaking, he went straight to the memorial and no longer raised his head to look at him.


    Ning Ying kneeled down for a long time. When he realized that Nan Yang would not retreat, he could only bow and slowly withdraw from the imperial study.


    Ning Xi followed the steward to Star Seizer Pavilion. The instant the servant girl pushed open the door, he saw a scene that he might never be able to forget in his entire life.


    Qiao Liangjin danced under the blooming magnolia tree. The magnolia flower slowly descended from the sky, landing on her hair. It landed on her shoulders, dancing along with her as she did so.


    Qiao Liangjin raised his eyes and saw that Ning Ying had arrived. He didn''t stop dancing, and just performed a dance as if no one else was present. When he finished, he leaned against the trunk of the Yulan tree and waved towards Ning Ying.


    Only then did Ning Xi regain her composure and slowly walked towards Qiao Liangjin. She looked at Qiao Liangjin with concern and said, "I''m sorry, I didn''t know ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin didn''t mind at all as he waved his hand at the ladies by the side. He smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I''m hungry and would like to eat something."


    The palace maids continuously scanned Ning Xi, their faces flushing red. They didn''t hear Qiao Liangjin''s words at all.


    It wasn''t until Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and repeated himself, that the palace maids covered their faces and saluted. Like rabbits, they hurriedly left the courtyard.


    Ning Ying''s gaze fell only on this woman who was as calm as a lotus. She said that she would be leaving the Southern Kingdom after seven days, and now that she was trapped in this palace, her expression was so indifferent and elegant, as if she didn''t care about her own situation.


    Qiao Liangjin noticed Ning Xi''s worried gaze and greeted his gaze with a shallow smile. "What happened?"


    "Yesterday, you said that you would definitely leave the Southern Kingdom."


    "That''s only natural. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do." She turned around and sat on the swing tied to the magnolia tree, gently swinging it.


    Looking at the magnolia orchids drifting in the air, Qiao Liangjin smiled and said, "Star Seizer Pavilion, I remember I''ve seen it in a movie before, and now I can live here with no honor. What an honor it is for me to be able to live here."


    Ning Xi stood silently by the side of the swing, knowing that she was once again unable to understand the situation.


    The two remained silent until lunch was ready. Qiao Liangjin invited Ning Xi to have a meal with him.


    Those palace maids were still looking at Ning Xi with their radiant eyes. Qiao Liangjin felt as if he couldn''t eat anymore. These women, had they never seen a man in their entire lives before?


    However, when they thought about it, they felt that it made sense. In this deep palace, other than that dog-emperor, the only other people they could see were a few princes and this gentle Ning Wang. Thinking of the term ''dog-emperor'', Qiao Liangjin cursed silently. ''dog-emperor'', all emperors in this world were dog-kind. They would always bite each other whenever they wanted to.


    Thinking up to this point, he actually chuckled a few times. Ning Ying looked up at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment, then lowered her head and started to eat.


    Qiao Liangjin put down his chopsticks and said, "What did you do for me? Why do I have no impression of clearing this man up? According to what Hong Chen said, I came to find him, but I can''t even remember what he looks like right now. "


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s question, Ning Xi paused for a moment. Then, she sighed and put down her chopsticks. She looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked seriously, "Do you think he''s very good?"


    "I don''t know, because I have no impression of him." Qiao Liangjin replied in surprise.


    "Clearing up is not suitable for you. He will make you suffer. I presume the Prime Minister has also talked to you. Only by following me can you guarantee the safety of the Qiao family." Ning Ying thought about it and decided to be frank.


    Qiao Liangjin did not interrupt Ning Xian, indicating for him to continue speaking.


    "Su Shun''s fear of your father can be seen from this loan. If nothing unexpected happens and this war is resolved, then Su Shun will have to make a move against your father."


    "So, do you think I am the one who would watch helplessly as he attacks himself? How could a smart person like you not understand? I am just a mere little girl, not to mention, there are still many children of the Qiao Family in the house. I don''t have much, not much, not even one less. "


    Ning Xi squinted at Qiao Liangjin. She spoke so indifferently, so naturally, so naturally. She was not born to be a chess piece on the board, and no one could use her.


    Under the noon sun, Qiao Liangjin''s skin was as white as jade, faintly glowing. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up into a smile. It was ice-cold, containing a hint of ridicule and a hint of silence. It was Qiao Liangjin, whom he had never seen before.


    She had never smiled like this before. The scene of the two of them drinking wine and watching the shooting stars together flashed through her mind. However, at that time, her smile was filled with warmth.


    Ning Ying''s fingers suddenly trembled twice. He suddenly felt that he had done something wrong. He sealed off his memory of clearing up, yet he did not take her away at the first moment.


    Qiao Liangjin''s sparkling eyes swept over Ning Xi. The smile on his lips did not fade, "Prince Ning, please go back. Qiao Liangjin thanks you for saving his life, and also thanks you for treating Qiao Liangjin so well. For the sake of the past, Qiao Liangjin will not make things difficult for the Prince. "


    With that, he got up and waited respectfully for Ning Xi to get up.


    He heard the sigh from the bottom of his heart, and could only stand up slowly. He placed the bottle on the table and said, "Twice a day, this is the weight of three days, after eating it, everything will be fine. Sky heat, you have to drink more, the remaining poison will be expelled along with the sweat."


    Qiao Liangjin simply kept his head hooked and persisted in his blessings. Even after he said so much, she still did not raise her head.


    Ning Ying sighed, gave Qiao Liangjin a deep look, and left the Star Seizer Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin was lucky enough to not hear Qiao Liangjin''s footsteps before she stood up and gazed at the backs of the palace maids with infatuation. She rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you like the most handsome and elegant Prince Ning of your Southern Kingdom?"


    When the palace maids saw that Qiao Liangjin was neither warm nor cold to Ning Ying, they initially thought that she did not know how to appreciate favors and wanted to embarrass her a little. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to discuss Ning Ying with them and happily forgot about their previous grudges.


    "That''s right, Miss Qiao. You don''t know that Prince Ning is the most popular man in our Southern Kingdom. There are many girls who want to marry him." One of them was wearing a yellow palace uniform and had a round face that was filled with yearning as she spoke.


    "The young lady from the Prime Minister''s residence hanged herself for the sake of Prince Ning. She was trying to scare the Prime Minister, but who would''ve thought that no one would find out that she died after stealing from him? What a pity ¡­"


    "That''s right, that''s right. And that Imperial Physician Wang''s daughter, she actually broke her own arm in order to compare notes with Ning Ying ¡­"


    When Qiao Liangjin heard how vicious the Southern Goblin Tribe''s women were to him, cold sweat instantly broke out on her back. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and laughed dryly, "You guys ¡­. The people''s style is really ¡­ "It''s open." In her heart, she thought, if she did these things, she wouldn''t be able to do it. At most, she would feel disgusted, but she would definitely cherish him.


    As Qiao Liangjin listened to the palace maids chattering on, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Actually, Ning Gun, he doesn''t like noblemen or noblemen. He likes unique and unique women."


    The palace maids looked at each other, then the round-faced palace maid hurriedly asked: "What kind of maverick would that be? Miss Qiao, look at us, we are only palace maids ¡­ "We don''t have that high of a chance ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin raised his index finger and shook it: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, don''t think that you can reach higher heights, as long as it''s someone you like, you can do anything you want. Do as I say, believe me, he will definitely look at you a few more times."

 C137 Teasing Ning Ying

    The court ladies all blushed as they listened to Qiao Liangjin''s suggestion. When the rouge and cosmetics were all placed in front of them, Qiao Liangjin started to put on his makeup one by one. The round-faced palace maid asked with some doubt: "Is this feasible? Why does it look so... "What''s strange?"


    Qiao Liangjin carefully examined the palace maid who had just finished painting her makeup. With one hand on her waist and the other holding a brush, he sighed and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. My cooking skills are becoming more and more exquisite."


    The palace maid looked at herself in the mirror and cried out in alarm. She was about to rush to the washbasin to wash her face when she heard Qiao Liangjin''s melodious laughter, "If you don''t believe me, you can always wash up. Tomorrow, you can all see whether Prince Ning will see you guys more or not."


    That palace maid stopped her steps and slowly stopped. She covered her face with her hands and asked, "Miss Qiao, don''t lie to us."


    Qiao Liangjin threw the brush into the pen holder not too far away. He put his hands on his hips and laughed to the sky, "Hahaha, why do I have so many fans in the capital? It''s all because of my unique appearance!"


    The palace maids looked at each other, as if they were considering the authenticity of Qiao Liangjin''s words. However, with her complacent appearance, they had no choice but to believe that this trick would work.


    The next day, Ning Xi left for Star Seizer Pavilion. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw four palace maids wearing strange outfits. He took a glance at them and slowed down his pace, taking a closer look at them, but he didn''t see that the weird girl was inside.


    When the palace maids saw that Ning Xi had indeed looked at them more, they all jumped with excitement. However, due to years of court education, they could only rejoice, "Your servant greets Your Highness."


    Ning Xi waved his hand, but his gaze was focused on the Yulan tree. He wanted to see the girl dancing under the tree again.


    "Looking for me?" Qiao Liangjin''s voice came from behind him.


    When Ning Ying turned around, he saw a pig''s nose in front of his eyes. He was so shocked that Ning Ying retreated a few steps before he managed to stabilize himself. He held his forehead and looked at Qiao Liangjin who seemed like he wanted to cry.


    At this moment, Qiao Liangjin had drawn a pig''s nose on his face, and even made a pair of pig ears on the top of his head. He twirled his hair with one hand, and asked with a smile, "Prince Ning, are you here?"


    Ning Ying pointed at Qiao Lianjin, then pointed at the other palace maids, and asked with a smile that was not a smile, "You all ¡­ "What is he doing?"


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at the four palace maids behind him, then turned to ask with a sweet smile: "How is it? Does it look good? A new face? Do you always want to see more of them? "


    Ning Xi held back her smile and opened the white jade fan in her hands with a "Pa" sound. She was desperately fanning her face with wind, trying to persuade herself to smile.


    After being frightened, Ning Xian finally revealed a smile and nodded, "Very beautiful, very unique. I... I really like it. "


    As soon as she finished speaking, the four palace maids behind her seemed to have received great praise, almost as if they were going to scream out loud. How many palace maids were there in this harem?


    Qiao Liangjin smiled and handed his wrist to Ning Ying, saying calmly, "I won''t keep you any longer, just take a look at my remaining poison and you''ll be able to leave."


    Ning Ying frowned. He smiled lightly and pressed his fingertips on Qiao Liangjin''s pulse. He took a careful look at the pulse and asked curiously, "There is a type of zhenqi in your body that is very pure, very clean, and very strong."


    "Hmm?" Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked at Ning Ying with a puzzled expression.


    "I''ve been wondering which sect''s inner force it is. Who did you learn it from?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and smiled, "I don''t know. If I told you that I had it all at once, would you believe me?"


    Ning Ying looked at Qiao Liangjin''s rippling eyes and smiled, "I do, I will believe anything you say, you know it."


    Qiao Liangjin withdrew his wrist and made a gesture of invitation. "There''s nothing much to do. Invite the prince back for a long time. After all, this is the imperial harem. If any concubine gets pregnant, you won''t be able to explain." Her teasing was so relaxed, it made Ning Xuemo''s heart somewhat hurt.


    Ning Xi put away her fan, glanced at Qiao Liangjin, and let the four palace maids escort him out.


    After the four palace maids sent off Ning Ying, they happily returned to Qiao Liangjin, saying, "So it turns out that we have to be so different from the rest in order for Prince Ning to see us."


    Qiao Liangjin forced a smile and nodded, "Of course. However, you can only dress up like this when you see Prince Ning. Don''t ever forget that. This is the imperial palace, and your heads are in the hands of that damned emperor." After saying the word ''dog-emperor'', Qiao Liangjin lightly slapped himself.


    The palace maids were flabbergasted as they looked at Qiao Liangjin. How could this woman be so shocking? She could actually say such outrageous words.


    Qiao Liangjin pointed to the sky and waved his hand in the air, "Hey, a flying saucer."


    The palace maids followed Qiao Liangjin''s finger and looked at the blue sky. There were only a few white clouds, but the round-faced palace maid looked at the sky eagerly and asked: "Miss Qiao ¡­ "What is a flying saucer ¡­" Before they could reply, their necks started aching. When they turned around, they found that Miss Qiao had already disappeared.


    The ladies looked at each other, shook their heads, and went back to their own business.


    Qiao Liangjin shook off a few palace maids and returned to the house. She was sprawled on the bed with her hands behind her head, she did not want to be idle, and if she wanted to go out of the palace, not only would she have to go out, she would also have to bring something with her. Otherwise, how could she face this Emperor who had imprisoned her?


    Qiao Liangjin rolled over and lay on his side. There was no noisy Yu Sheng, no howling leopard, and there was also that smirking Hong Chen. What were Zi Yan, Bai, and Ah Kuan doing? What were they doing after escaping?


    As she was thinking, her hand unknowingly touched the red Mandara Flower on her arm. Qiao Liangjin lowered her eyes and looked at her arm. She couldn''t remember where this tattoo came from, but every time she was troubled, she would gradually calm down.


    Late at night, Qiao Liangjin opened her beautiful eyes and sat up, quietly listening to the activity outside. Yes, she had changed her guard again, she got up, changed into a set of dark purple clothes, gently pushed open the door, and with an extremely light movement, jumped onto the roof. She was like a cat walking through the night, nimbly flying from roof to roof.


    She was like a cat lying in wait. When it was time for the guards to change, she turned around and landed on the grass, and silently walked to the door of the Hall. The Emperor''s cough came from behind the door, and Qiao Liangjin''s lips hooked up into a smile as he pushed open the door and entered.


    When Nanyang, who was reading, heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he frowned and said, "I''m not sleepy right now, so don''t rush me."


    Qiao Liangjin''s footsteps were light as if he was a cat walking on a carpet. He agilely walked in front of Nanyang and said with a smile, "Your majesty, look at me."


    When Nan Yang heard the sweet voice of a woman, the book in his hands dropped to the ground in shock. He was about to stand up and call his guards, but Qiao Liangjin''s hand was already at his throat.


    Nanyang pointed to Qiao Liangjin''s hand, indicating her to let go. Qiao Liangjin was quite calm, and let go of Nanyang, and opened the memorial on his desk, and after taking a few glances, he shook his head: "Look at the situation, in three months, your Southern City will fall in just three months."


    Nan Yang stared at Qiao Liangjin vigilantly, and asked: "Who are you?"


    Qiao Liangjin spread out his hands and put on an innocent expression as he smiled, "Who else could I be? Your Majesty has invited me to the Imperial Palace as a guest. "


    She spoke like it was none of her business. It was as if the person imprisoned in the Star Seizer Pavilion was not her.


    On the other hand, Nan Yang''s expression turned cold. He sized up the charming girl in front of him a few times before coldly snorting: "She is indeed a bold and shameless woman. She is no different from what the rumors say."


    This dog-emperor was the same as that dog-emperor, he might as well just kill this dog-emperor first and play with it. Thinking of this, she took advantage of the situation and grabbed onto Nan Yang''s throat, her eyes overflowing with killing intent, "Legend says that I''m fat, lazy and greedy, but the legend doesn''t say that I actually dare to kill people. Do you want to give it a try?"


    As he spoke to here, the strength under his hands increased, causing Nan Yang to struggle non-stop.


    Seeing that the dog-emperor was about to stop breathing, Qiao Liangjin suddenly let go of his hand. The sound of small footsteps came from outside the door. Nan Yang heard the sound of footsteps and coughed a few times. "I have something to do. Don''t come in yet."


    Qiao Liangjin glanced at Nan Yang in satisfaction. He was indeed a wise emperor. If he still dared to resist, then she would definitely let him die suddenly in this palace today, and also let Nan Li become emperor.


    Nan Yang waved his hand to reassure Qiao Liangjin. He then touched his own throat, pointed to a chair and said: "Miss Qiao, you can sit and talk."


    Qiao Liangjin used the tip of his foot to hook over a chair that wasn''t too far away and placed it not too far away from Nanyang. He sat cross-legged in the chair, supported his chin with one hand and asked with a smile, "What should we say?"


    Nanyang took a sip of the tea on the table and relaxed. With a slightly hoarse voice, he waved his hand and said, "Miss Qiao, please speak."


    "Now, do you think that your house arrest will be of any use to me?"


    "¡­"


    "So I want to hear what you mean."


    "I intend to ¡­"


    "Yes, you mean." Qiao Liangjin changed into a more comfortable position and leaned against the back of his chair. He had a leisurely look on his face as he looked at Nan Yang.


    Nan Yang was silent. The girl in front of him was completely different from what the rumors said. She could easily come to the Hall of Affairs and easily threaten him. He had to think about what he could say to prevent this evil woman from harming him.


    Qiao Liangjin gave a big yawn and urged, "Hurry up."


    "I thought you were the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of Xuanyuan. Legend has it that Prime Minister Qiao dotes on you, that you''re a pampered and proud man who''s a maverick. Prime Minister Qiao''s influence in Xuanyuan is enormous. If the emperor of Xuanyuan is number one, then I presume Prime Minister Qiao ¡­"

 C138 Late Night Threat

    "Bah!" Qiao Liangjin interrupted Nanyang and spat on the ground fiercely, "It''s all you people who do nothing to stir up trouble, causing my father to stay behind and panic. You guys like to watch people''s families being executed, right?"


    Nan Yang was stunned by Qiao Liangjin''s actions. This woman actually dared to "pui" in front of him. He had been the emperor for dozens of years, but no one had ever dared to be so impudent in front of him.


    Qiao Liangjin simply sat up straight and moved his chair a few more times to the side of the table. He knocked his knuckles on the table and said, "You guys cherish your emperor''s position so much and think that everyone else loves this position just like you guys. Let me ask you, do you feel safe sitting here?"


    Nan Yang mechanically shook his head. That''s right, assassinations, poisoning, he had seen too much and had never stopped. Now that he was old, his movements in the dark became more and more serious.


    Qiao Liangjin looked at Nan Yang with satisfaction and shook his head, then said seriously: "Your sons, who do you think can become the emperor? How many of your sons are still alive? "


    "A total of eight sons and one daughter. Only two sons and one daughter are left alive." Nanyang actually opened his mouth and answered.


    Hearing Nanyang''s answer, Qiao Liangjin laughed and waved his hand, "Your two sons are just like that Sixth Brother. Third Brother, just give him a feudal fiefdom and he will become king. As for your daughter ¡­ "Tsk tsk." Qiao Liangjin continuously shook his head when he thought of those idiots'' ridiculous behavior.


    Nan Yang was a little curious, this woman was still analyzing her children. He asked, "What happened to Nan Gong?"


    "She likes clearing up. Clear... Do you know? "


    "Of course I know. The Seventh Prince brought troops to help me in resisting the invasion of the Eastern Kingdom." Nan Yang said truthfully.


    "Well, yes, your daughter is drooling over him, you know? How could a woman, a dignified princess of the Southern Kingdom, be like this? Where''s the home tutor? What about the dignity of the royal family? " Qiao Liangjin reprimanded.


    She seemed to have forgotten that she was like this in the past. Every day, she would bring a cheering squad and block the way of the Seventh Prince, causing one to be infatuated whenever there was nothing to do.


    Hearing Qiao Liangjin''s words, Nanyang was drenched in sweat as he nodded his head and said, "Yes."


    Qiao Liangjin talked for a long time until his mouth was almost dry. He pointed to the teacup on the table and said: "Pour me some water."


    Nanyang was stunned and then silently poured a cup of tea and passed it to Qiao Liangjin. Qiao Liangjin finished his tea in a few gulps and smiled, "The emperor''s tea is indeed different. It tastes much better. "Tell me what kind of tea you sent to my Star Seizer Pavilion? It''s not that good, but the chef isn''t that good either. You have a lot of seafood in your south, so you can''t bear to give them to me, right?"


    Nan Yang was stunned once again and repeatedly nodded his head. "Miss Qiao ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin yawned, waved his hand and interrupted Nanyang, then continued, "It''s very difficult to communicate with you seniors anyway, I''ve already stayed here for three days, so you should be nicer to me in the next few days."


    Nan Yang was startled again. He looked at Qiao Liangjin, who was acting carefree in front of him, and asked, "You ¡­"


    "Yes, yes. I haven''t thought of leaving yet. Take good care of me. If I don''t, Prince Ning will be unhappy, and Nan Li will be unhappy as well." Qiao Liangjin said complacently.


    Qiao Liangjin walked to the door, turned around and waved at Nanyang with a smile, "Being alone in this palace is also very boring sometimes, you can come and play with me if you have nothing to do."


    Opening the door, Qiao Liangjin disappeared into the night.


    Nanyang looked at the open door and did not react for a long time. It was only when his close eunuch came over that he realized what had happened. He could not help but rub his neck and curse, "I will definitely not let you off!"


    On the fourth day, Ning Xi arrived at Star Seizer Pavilion as usual. At the entrance stood a palace maid with a strange outfit painted on her face. She smiled at Ning Xi with her mouth wide open, "Greetings, Prince."


    Ning Ying nodded and sized them up before covering his chest to indicate that he shouldn''t be nervous. Only then did he step into the courtyard.


    Qiao Liangjin was on the swing. When she saw Ning Xi come in, she smiled and said, "People from the south are fighting on the battlefield. Why are you so calm? If you weren''t a king with a different surname, I would almost think you were the bastard child of the dog-emperor. "


    Ning Xi looked deeply at Qiao Liangjin, then laughed depressingly, "Qiao Liangjin, I''ve never seen a girl as brave as you in this world."


    Qiao Liangjin stopped his swing, tilted his head, and looked at Ning Xi with his bright and beautiful eyes. He asked, "Why do you say that?"


    "I thought all the women in this world were the same. They would only cry, wait, flirt, and use men to achieve their goals."


    "Hey, hey, hey, I know how to flirt too, okay?" It sounds like you''re scolding me. " Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose and interrupted Ning Ying''s words.


    Ning Xi laughed involuntarily. The girl in front of him was always paying attention to things differently. He shook his head slightly and said, "Jin''er, if you could be more emotional and brave ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin sighed and closed his eyes. He seemed to be a bit tired as he leaned against the rope of the swing.


    Ning Xi lightly walked to Qiao Liangjin''s side. A faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafted from her body. Qiao Liangjin slightly frowned. He didn''t know why, but he suddenly remembered a faint aroma of pine trees, a fragrance that belonged to a specific person.


    Qiao Liangjin opened his eyes and smiled at Ning Ying, who was standing in front of him. He pointed at his own head and said, "Ning Ying, undo my memory, don''t let it go missing, don''t make me think that you''re despicable, okay?"


    A hint of pain flashed in Ning Xi''s eyes. He closed his eyes, as if he was making a decision. After a while, he opened his eyes, smiled towards Qiao Liangjin, and said, "Okay."


    His hands were trembling a little. He knew that if he went now, Qiao Liangjin would only like to clear them out more, but he had no choice but to return all the memories he had about clearing them back to her.


    Thinking of this, Ning Xi inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point.


    Qiao Liangjin''s body went soft, and he leaned against Ning Ying''s body. Ning Ying carried Qiao Liangjin in her arms, and carefully walked towards the room as if he was holding the most precious object in the world.


    After placing Qiao Liangjin on the bed, Ning Ying took out the silver needles and sat down beside her. The sun was shining brightly outside and the room was filled with sunlight. Just like that, Qiao Liangjin was peacefully sleeping in front of him. He couldn''t help but hold her hand, his fingers interlocked. He knew that after she woke up, she might no longer care about him.


    His other hand brushed Qiao Liangjin''s face. His delicate skin was tight and white without any unnecessary lines. His chin was slightly pointed and his line was smooth as if it was drawn by the simplest and most fluent painter''s brush. He wanted to carve her complexion into his memories. Every time they met and left, he would want to engrave everything about her into his mind. Every time he would feel such a heartache.


    When he saw Qiao Liangjin''s frown, Ning Ying hurriedly let go of Qiao Liangjin''s hand and sat by the side.


    Qiao Liangjin woke up with a frown. He rubbed his temples and asked Ning Ying, who was sitting beside him, "Why haven''t you left yet?"


    "If you wake up, I''m going to leave." Ning Xi felt a chill in her heart. He knew that Qiao Liangjin had changed his mind after all.


    "Ning Ying, we''re still friends." Qiao Liangjin said as he half propped himself up and walked towards the door of the shop.


    Ning Ying stopped walking and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. He then turned his head and said with a smile, "Your guards have already left the city gates. They are resting in the relay station located about thirty miles away from the city gate."


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyes lit up, and he nodded gratefully at Ning Ying with a shallow smile.


    Ning Ying looked at the beauty who was lying on the bed and smiled faintly. He then stepped out of the room, and the palace maids came to greet him again, sending him out of the Star Seizer Pavilion.


    Qiao Liangjin lay down and thought about everything that happened after he cleared his throat. As he stroked the Mandala on his arm, she thought about the last time she met him ¡­ It seems to be modern?


    After losing consciousness, her soul seemed to have returned to the modern era. When she was at the ends of the world, she encountered that sullen silence, and she tightly hugged his waist, as if she was saying that she missed him a lot ¡­


    Qiao Liangjin found that his face was burning again, and she covered her face. Her mind was filled with the memories of when she was looking for a clean up. She traveled through every city, and she remembered his voice, and she remembered his appearance.


    Qiao Liangjin suddenly sat up. She decided to break out of the prison early. She couldn''t wait for three days. She wanted to go back and see that sullen Seventh Prince.


    Qiao Liangjin stood up and prepared to pack his bag, but a palace maid''s voice came from outside the door, "Miss Qiao, the Emperor has summoned you."


    Qiao Liangjin grinned. This dog-emperor, I haven''t heard enough of cursing.


    He followed the eunuch all the way to the East Sun Pavilion. When Qiao Liangjin entered the door, he saw the emperor sitting on the top seat. On both sides of the emperor sat South Sudan and South Li.


    The Southern Sudan''s gaze towards Qiao Liangjin was filled with provocation, and when Nan Li saw that it was Qiao Liangjin who came in, he actually got up from his chair and walked over. Before Qiao Liangjin could react, he hugged her.


    Qiao Liangjin quickly pushed himself over to Nanli and patted his body. He said with dissatisfaction: "Where are we? Where is your imperial family''s dignity?"


    Nan Li turned his head to the emperor and gave him an apologetic smile. He said, "Please forgive this son for being a little too excited just now."


    Nan Yang waved his hand expressionlessly and pointed to the spot below Nan Li. "Miss Qiao, take a seat."


    Qiao Liangjin sat down gracefully as she looked at the dishes in front of her. They were indeed better than the ones she had in the Star Restaurant. He cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, since you''re inviting me here for a meal, then I won''t be polite."


    Without waiting for Nan Yang to speak, she picked up the food and started to eat.

 C139 Lip Gun and Tongue Combat

    The Southern Sudan liked Yu Linglong, so when they saw Qiao Liangjin, they were a little annoyed. They whispered, "Really, you can''t show your face."


    On the other hand, Nan Li looked at Qiao Liangjin with a heart full of joy. He even forgot to greet and eat with his father and kept saying to Qiao Liangjin, "Try this, this is the most famous fish on our side. We''ve fished it out of the ocean, and that''s right, this abalone is also very delicious ¡­"


    It wasn''t until Nan Yang, who was sitting down, coughed twice that Nan Li turned around and said with a smile: "Please forgive me, royal father."


    In the time it takes Qiao Liangjin to sit down and eat, he heard Nan Li apologize twice. She sighed, "Can''t you let me eat a good meal? I''m hungry, you two are always forgiving me like this."


    Nan Yang''s expression immediately changed. He glared at Nan Li, his voice containing the different dignity of that night in the palace: "Qiao Liangjin, I''m not only treating you to a meal, I want to discuss some issues with you."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand as he scooped the shark fin into his bowl and said, "Is there a problem? Do not ask me a question, you father and son are the best ones to discuss the problems of your Southern Kingdom. The idea that I come up with is at most a scheming one. "


    Nan Yang coughed lightly twice, and Nan Li hurriedly said, "I heard that Seventh Prince has already returned to Xuanyuan State and is fine."


    "Hmm?"


    "This king is not clear what exactly happened. I will tell you later that something happened to the Seventh Prince and that the corpse was sent back to Xuanyuan Kingdom ¡­" "Later ¡­"


    Qiao Liangjin smiled indifferently. He put down his chopsticks, glanced at the three men from the King''s family, and said, "All is fair."


    The faces of Nan Yang, who was seated on his seat, suddenly turned ashen. The Southern Sudan and Nan Li, on the other hand, had confused expressions. After looking at each other, they looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked in confusion, "Miss Qiao, what do these four words mean?"


    When Qiao Liangjin saw the sudden change in Nan Yang''s expression, he immediately understood what was going on. She wiped the corner of her mouth, stood up and elegantly looked at Nan Yang, smiling as she said: "I won''t disturb the father and son''s meal. Qiao Liangjin thanks Your Majesty."


    After he finished speaking, he slowly left the Eastern Sun Pavilion. He glanced coldly at the vermilion door as his lips curled up. Then, he quickly walked towards the Star Seizer Pavilion.


    She planned to leave this crappy Imperial Palace tonight. Seeing this Emperor and the Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom being like this, staying a little longer would cause her to feel disgusted.


    Returning to pack her small bag, she gave all the gold and silver jewelry on the dresser to the four palace maids beside her. The palace maids were pleasantly surprised as they put away all the jewelry, and the round-faced palace maid asked: "Miss Qiao, are you going back?"


    Qiao Liangjin shook his head and said with an unchanging expression, "These gold and silver jewelry don''t match my temperament and you are all so cute. I can just give it to you. You guys wear it the same way I wear it."


    "Believe me, no one is more outstanding than you in the future when you''ve won the favor of Prince Ning. If there are any girls from nobility in the future who want a way, you can exchange my method for money and sell it to them."


    He then used his hand to pull the abacus and said with a smile, "Think about it, when you leave the palace, how much money will you bring home?"


    The four palace maids were wild with joy as they held Qiao Liangjin''s hand and said: "Aiyee, actually, according to what you said, it seems like this is the case."


    Qiao Liangjin calmly broke free from the palace maids'' grasp and yawned, "I''ll have a good afternoon nap later. Sis, please feel free to do what you want."


    The palace maids nodded their heads repeatedly. With such a generous master, there was no doubt at all.


    Qiao Liangjin entered the room and lay down in his clothes. Thinking of how she could easily escape from the palace tonight, seeing everyone she cared about, she was so excited that she couldn''t sleep.


    She closed her eyes and advised herself to sleep well. However, the Mandala on her arm was a bit hot and it was so scorching that she couldn''t fall asleep. She sat up and started to rest.


    Not long after she started meditating, the voices of a few infatuated palace maids came in from outside the door. She heard them, and she heard them; the one who came this time was Nan Li. She already knew that Nan Li wouldn''t eat in front of this old emperor, and seeing that today''s meal was real, she couldn''t help but feel sympathy for him again.


    The palace maid''s surprised voice came from outside the door, "Miss Qiao ¡­" The Sixth Prince has come. "


    Qiao Liangjin responded and leisurely put on his shoes. He then drank a cup of tea until he heard a palace voice from outside: "Miss Qiao, come out quickly." She wasn''t in a hurry. She just wanted to make Nan Li wait. She knew that Nan Li must have come to find her for a request.


    She took a look at her clothes, and then combed her hair. Only when the palace maid outside raised her fist to knock on the door did she suddenly open the door, and sweetly smiled at Nan Li who had been standing outside for a long time: "I didn''t know that Sixth Prince would come. I really didn''t welcome you from afar."


    Looking at Qiao Liangjin''s fake smile, Nan Li shook his head and said, "You, you are still so hypocritical."


    Qiao Liangjin placed his hand on his face and made a knowing expression. "Since we are already so familiar with each other, then there''s no need to be so polite. What''s the matter?"


    Nan Li turned his head to look at the four palace maids. Although they were usually a bit of a prankster, they were still people who understood how things were with eyes. Thus, they left the courtyard and stood guard outside the gates.


    Qiao Liangjin walked out of the room and walked to the stone table under the Yulan tree. He poured two cups of tea and made a gesture of invitation, "Sixth Prince, please take a seat."


    Nan Li was still smiling as he looked at Qiao Liangjin. It had been three or four months since he returned to the Southern Kingdom, and the person he had been longing for was now standing in front of him. He couldn''t hide the warmth on his face when he saw that this person was just as dark as before.


    Qiao Liangjin sat down and looked at his hot Southern Li. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Either sit and talk properly, or leave quickly. Don''t waste my time, I still need to rest."


    Nan Li crossed his arms and sat in front of Qiao Liangjin. He looked up at the sun, smiled, and said: "Sleep until midnight, get up, and then follow the north path and leave the palace."


    Qiao Liangjin''s face stiffened. He looked at Nan Li with an expression that said ''why can''t I understand you?''


    The corner of Nan Li''s lips curled up. "I am Nan Li. How could I not know what you were thinking? You black-skinned girl, you''ve probably already thought of a way out in the East Sun Pavilion today, haven''t you?"


    Qiao Liangjin propped his chin up with his left hand and hooked his right hand towards Nanli. His cherry red lips moved slightly as he spoke in a clear voice, "Fine, you point the way. I''ll give you some advice to take the throne."


    Nan Li''s expression was serious, but he couldn''t help but lean towards Qiao Liangjin.


    After Qiao Liangjin finished whispering, he smiled and said: "This kind of thing cannot be rushed. If you want to succeed, then you have to be ruthless. If you don''t enter hell, then who will?"


    Nan Li''s face didn''t look too good. After a moment of silence, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Qiao Liangjin, "Jin''er, thank you for your idea."


    Qiao Liangjin waved his hand with a smile on his face. "Go on, go on. Think about it for yourself." Farewell. "


    Nan Li nodded and headed towards the door. He walked a few steps before suddenly stopping and turning to look at Qiao Liangjin: "Is the jade pendant that I gave you still there? Maybe there''s something else we can use along the way. "


    Qiao Liangjin was stunned. She remembered that when she saved Qiao Ruoyin, she gave it to Qing Shui. She quickly nodded with a smile and said, "Of course. I understand. Don''t worry, I will use it in an emergency." Then, he waved his hand as if he was urging Nan Li to hurry up and leave.


    Nan Li looked at Qiao Lianjin''s fake smile and caressed his chin as he asked: "You didn''t give it away right? Or lost? "


    Qiao Liangjin''s eyebrows immediately went up, he placed his hands on his hips and fiercely said: "Aiya, how can you think of me like this? I have a good collection of things that others have given me, don''t spout nonsense, do you want me to go inside the house and take them out for you to see?"


    When Nan Li saw that Qiao Liangjin was truly angry, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, since I''m giving it to you, it''s fine giving it away or smashing it into pieces. You can do whatever you want with it."


    Then, he turned around and let out a long sigh, "The next time we meet, it should be when we get married!"


    Qiao Liangjin, who was drinking his tea, spat out some tea. He wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and scolded: "Bastard!"


    Deep in the night, at the second fragment of the night, Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened his eyes and quietly sat up. She took a few deep breaths and stretched all over her body; she knew that this distance wasn''t close.


    Qiao Liangjin''s heart throbbed again when he thought about that indifferent man who would stand at the entrance of the Imperial Palace every morning in his red court uniform.


    She steadied herself and lightly scolded herself, "Fantasy!"


    After changing his clothes, Qiao Liangjin walked into the yard and raised his head to look at the magnolia tree in front of the door. He said softly, "I went back to the ancient times and even slept in the Star Seizer Pavilion. Goodbye, Yulan tree. " After he had finished, he jumped onto the roof and ran towards the north without a sound.


    Just as they were about to reach the entrance, Qiao Liangjin felt a little strange. What happened today? There didn''t seem to be any life within the imperial city, why did it seem like even the guards were gone? Her footsteps gradually slowed down.


    Something was not right, the silence was too strange. Although it was still very hot in the Southern Kingdom, there was still the sound of insects, right?


    Qiao Liangjin landed lightly next to the door that was just one step away. She quietly observed the guards that were standing at the door. There was no movement from them, as if everyone was dead.


    Qiao Liangjin picked up a small stone and lightly struck the guard closest to him, but the guard didn''t have any reaction.


    Qiao Liangjin''s figure flashed and he strutted in front of the guard. He slapped his hand on the guard''s shoulder and the guard slowly fell against the wall. Black blood slowly flowed out of his seven orifices.

 C140 Homicide and Rescue

    He lit the fire piston in his arms and brought it closer to the guard. After looking at it carefully, he used the handkerchief to stain some of the black blood, and then sniffed it with his nose. With a faint smile, he discovered that the Gu poison from the Eastern Kingdom was truly quite poisonous.


    Pulling down the corner of his robe and covering his face, Qiao Liangjin took off the sabre in his guard''s hand and lightly walked towards the Auxiliary Hall.


    If anyone from the Eastern Kingdom came in, they would definitely go and take the dog emperor''s head. Thinking about the dog emperor, Qiao Liangjin''s steps gradually slowed down. She looked at the half-moon moon in the sky and sighed.


    Qiao Liangjin was swaggering all the way to the Audience Hall. Whenever he saw a guard, eunuch or palace maid, they would lie on the ground or lean against the wall and sit down.


    Along the way, there was always the feeling of going to hell. She raised her head and saw the Audience Hall. She gripped the knife in her hand and felt somewhat nervous. This was the first time she had encountered someone who could kill people in the palace, so she suddenly regretted it.


    She braced herself and stepped onto the stairs. Suddenly, a hand fell on her shoulder and pulled her into her embrace. A hand gently covered her lips to prevent her from crying out.


    Qiao Liangjin was only slightly frightened. In an instant, she smelled a familiar fragrance. She raised her eyes and looked at the person hugging her, then pointed at his hand, signalling him to let go.


    The man let go of Qiao Liangjin obediently and asked softly: "Why are you here?"


    "Then why are you here? "Prince Ning." Qiao Liangjin asked.


    "Let''s go up and take a look." Ning Xi did not answer her question, but pointed to the office. Without saying anything further, he pulled Qiao Liangjin along as he walked towards the office.


    The two''s qinggong were almost on par with each other as if they were stepping on cotton. There was no sound as they lightly landed in front of the door of the palace. Qiao Liangjin closed his eyes and listened to what was going on inside.


    Ning Xi took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the Hall of Affairs. Dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, Ning Xi held a white jade fan in her hand, she appeared in front of the three people from the Eastern Kingdom with a smile.


    The three people from the east were sitting near the emperor. They stood up when they saw the door open. One of them pulled the emperor who was sitting on the chair up. He held a black dagger in his hand and pointed it at the back of the emperor''s heart.


    Ning Xi''s watery eyes looked at the four of them with a smile, "Late at night, to be able to meet the three Imperial Advisors from the Eastern Kingdom, I am deeply honored!"


    A thin man with a purple face who looked like a scholar cupped his hands and said, "Oh, so it''s Prince Ning."


    Ning Ying scratched his forehead with the white jade fan as if he was deep in thought. Suddenly, the white jade fan slapped his palm. "Aiya, so it''s Master Zhang!"


    The thin and weak scholarly man smiled and said, "Yes, I am."


    Ning Xi waved his hand. "I''ve heard a lot about you. Imperial Advisor Zhang, I''ve been visiting the emperor late at night. I wonder what you''re here for?"


    Grand Advisor Zhang glanced behind Ning Xi, but didn''t see anyone else. He felt slightly relieved and sat back down, waving to the other two, "Sit down, it''s been hard on you."


    With a wave of his sleeve, a chair appeared. He lightly swept over the chair, sat down, and smiled at Teacher Zhang, saying, "Rest assured, this king will not act recklessly. After all, this king can see that the poison on that dagger is from Blood Seal''s throat."


    Zhang Guoliang forced a smile as a sly look flashed across his triangular eyes. He pointed to Nanyang and asked, "What do you think about him becoming the emperor?"


    Ning Ying looked at Nan Yang, shook his head and said with a smile, "I''m just a king with a different surname, I''ll just serve the Southern Kingdom obediently."


    Zhang Guoliang''s finger looked at his knee, and he looked coldly at Ning Xi, "Prince Ning, you''re lying."


    Nan Yang did not understand the situation as he looked at Ning Ying anxiously.


    Ning Xi smiled faintly, as if she hadn''t even heard what Imperial Advisor Zhang had said, "Your majesty is very old, with this kind of body, you won''t be able to handle it. Your journey here has been truly decisive. This king has almost arrived at the Purgatory of the Human Realm."


    Zhang Guoliang looked at Ning Xi sinisterly, but didn''t reply. He somewhat understood that this man in front of him clearly had ambition and desires, but why didn''t he respond at all?


    Zhang Guo Shi opened his mouth and laughed hoarsely into Ning Xi''s ears, his voice sounding like a fingernail scraping against an iron plate.


    Ning Xian gently opened the fan, slowly waving it and remaining silent.


    The entire office fell into an inexplicable silence. Other than the Emperor, who was somewhat anxious, the rest of the people remained still and did not make a move.


    Qiao Liangjin stood outside the door and closed his eyes. She could feel the changes within the hall and was waiting for Ning Ying to send her a message. She had to deal with the enemy with one move and save the emperor. He thought to himself, "Nan Li, you owe me so much."


    In the palace hall, Ning Xi suddenly coughed twice. The person holding the emperor in his arms stood up once again. Sweat covered his forehead.


    Ning Ying frowned, his voice full of dissatisfaction, "Honored Imperial Advisor, we will discuss the terms properly. But if you hurt His Majesty by mistake, your only bargaining chip will be gone, and you won''t be able to leave this place."


    Imperial Advisor Zhang was startled and laughed heartily. He waved his hand and said, "Prince Ning, you''re overthinking things. We''re only here to write some contracts with His Majesty. We''re withdrawing, we''re only hoping that His Majesty will give us some benefits."


    Ning Xi raised her thick eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "That sounds like a good thing. You can definitely send emissaries to deliver the letter of credence in broad daylight!"


    Nanyang was getting a bit impatient as he sat there and blurted out, "Bullsh * t, they want all our Southern Kingdom''s iron and silver mines."


    Ning Ying nodded at Nan Yang, signalling for him to not be anxious, then smiled and said, "You can give all these things to me, but your majesty only has one. Therefore, This King is willing to discuss it with all of you. "


    Zhang Guoliang''s questioning gaze swept over Ning Xi. Suddenly, he smiled, "Prince Ning, you''re a different surname than Wang. Although you''re a prince, aside from your medical skills ¡­"


    Ning Ying understood and replied, "At this time, even if this king is unsuitable, who is more suitable?"


    Zhang Guoliang looked at Ning Xi, then looked at Nan Yang.


    Nan Yang sighed and said, "I shall leave the negotiations entirely to Ning Ying."


    With a laugh, Imperial Advisor Zhang slammed his palm on the armrest, "Fine then. Mu Qing, let go of His Majesty."


    The one called Mu Qing seemed to heave a sigh of relief as he put away his dagger. He knelt down in salute towards Nan Yang and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness ¡­"


    He hadn''t even said the last word when he felt a slight chill on his neck, and red liquid gushed out from the arteries on his neck. He blinked and slowly fell while holding onto the wound on his neck.


    Before Zhang Guo could clearly see what was going on, he saw a purple ray of light flash past Mu Qing like a bolt of lightning, and a snow-white blade was placed against his neck.


    Just as Zhang Guo Shi was about to give an order to another person, he raised his hand and the blade chopped down without hesitation, cutting off his hand from his wrist.


    "Ah ¡­" Zhang Guoliang held onto his wrist as he screamed out crazily.


    Ning Ying had already broken another person''s neck. He wiped his hands and walked over to Zhang Guo shi, who was clutching his broken hand.


    At this point, Zhang Guo Shi was already sweating profusely, clutching at his severed hand, wanting to get up, but the person behind him was firmly pressing down on the chair.


    Ning Ying smiled gently at the person standing behind Imperial Advisor Zhang, "Thank you for your hard work."


    "You can be considered to have been repaid. Now, both of us are done with it." The voice behind him was clear and melodious. It was clearly a woman''s voice.


    Zhang Guoliang was startled, he turned his head to look, but before he could see the person, he was already slammed into his chair.


    After Qiao Liangjin knocked out Imperial Teacher Zhang, he began to feel around his body.


    On the side, Nan Yang, whose entire body was covered in blood, saw Qiao Liangjin groping around for a man and didn''t have the time to criticize him: "This, this is unbecoming."


    Qiao Liangjin touched the back of Zhang Guoliang''s waist and said with a pleasant smile, "I knew there would be some good stuff in this house!"


    He took out the small bag behind him and said with a smile, "Take a look, this guy plays with Gu, there must be some rare treasure."


    She happily weighed the pouch in her hand and pointed at Zhang Guotao. "Man, I''ve helped you flip it over. I should leave now. Also, I think the Sixth Prince is more suitable ¡­" "You understand."


    Ning Ying nodded and bowed towards Nan Yang, "This humble subject came late to save Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."


    He was currently covered in the stench of blood, and not only was there a wave of nausea, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I will go back and wash myself. It seems that I still need more experts to protect my palace.


    A hint of joy flashed through Ning Ying''s eyes. He hurriedly bowed again, "This humble subject will not disappoint Your Majesty."


    Nanyang swept a glance at Qiao Liangjin and sighed. He said, "Thank you, Miss Qiao ¡­"


    "Don''t worry about it, I was going to run away. Since I''ve wasted a lot of time, I might as well change the defenses of the city gates now. Sigh, I really don''t want to leave the Southern City like a thief ¡­" I wonder if Your Majesty can let me go? " Qiao Liangjin''s smile was very hypocritical.


    Nan Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. This girl was indeed different from all the girls he had met before. She was brave enough to take responsibility. It was as if she was never afraid of any imperial power.


    "Whatever I owe you, I''ll let Ning Ying send you out. This Southern Kingdom of mine ¡­" "With the Ning Seal, we won''t fall behind, right ¡­" As he spoke to here, Nan Yang softly sighed, and no longer paid any attention to the two people in the Hall of Working and Management.


    Qiao Liangjin swept a glance at the two corpses and the Zhang Guotao who had lost a hand, and asked, "What are you supposed to do? This Imperial Advisor, you must shut him up. "
