A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 34

After Qiao Qiao left alone, the calmness that he had been pretending for a long time was finally relieved. He raised his hand to cover his chest and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth. The shiny silver fox mask was immediately stained with blood.

“My Lord!” In the darkness, a delicate woman dressed in a purple robe tried to reach out and hold on to Nie Tian, but he coldly avoided her hand.

“No problem.” On the beams of the Xi Mansion, he anxiously brought Qiao Qiao to leave, but did not expect that he did not manage to escape from the Demon Sprite’s hand, that the silver needle was harnessed with poison, and that he brought that little girl to forcefully circulate her energy, he had to immediately return to the Qing Jue Palace to recuperate from his injuries.

“Follow her. If she disobediently returns to the Xi Mansion again, knock her out and bring her back to the palace.” The Death God gave the order with difficulty.

“But, Lord, you …” Zi Ran frowned. Her master was already deeply poisoned, so she really couldn’t be at ease when her master returned to the Qing Jue Palace alone.

“Command!” It was as if he had used all of his energy on this one word. He turned around unsteadily and flew away.

“My Lord …” Only Ran Zi was left behind to face the figure of Bai Mo’s back. She bit her lips hard, then turned around and secretly followed in the direction that Qiao Qiao still went.

Zi Ran didn’t dare to disobey the Lord’s orders.

If she went back like this, it would be a disaster. Although she would have wasted a good opportunity to investigate further, she would have gained more clues about the Grand Commandant Xi. At the very least, she already knew that the person behind the Grand Commandant Xi was the dark faction that had been spreading rumors about for a long time, the Demon Lord.

However, this result made Qiao Qiao who was determined to win still have some scruples. She did not know that the martial arts sects and court officials were colluding. Why would they do that? If it was for the throne and Big Qiao Jiang Shan, then it was unlikely that this would happen. Could it be that there was some unknown secret that was still hiding in the Kingdom of Qiao?

The Demon Palace, the Pure End Palace, and the capital’s number one young master. With so many people, they frequently appeared within the Imperial Palace. Was this all just a coincidence?

Joe was still frowning, and couldn’t think of a reason.

As she walked, Qiao Qiao still turned her head to see a magnificent mansion. She looked out, and suddenly her eyes lit up, all sorts of suspicions and indifference were present in her heart as she nimbly avoided the guards in front of the door, jumping onto the roof, stepping on the roof beams, borrowing the moonlight, she looked through the cracks in the roof towards the house beneath her feet.

What had attracted Joe to enter was the bright and beautiful words written at the entrance — “Prince’s Mansion.” In the Qiao Country, the only prince was this Regent, but at this time, if his royal uncle was not in the study, could it be that he had already gone to bed?

Qiao Qiao’s big watery eyes kept rolling around. Seeing that the guards under the house had changed shifts and were relaxing, he carefully jumped off the roof. He opened the study door and quietly walked in.

This Regent’s study was indeed different from the others. It had a magnificent decorative design, a unique style, and a gloomy and solemn atmosphere, just like the usual cold and cheerless atmosphere of the emperor’s uncle. Qiao Qiao was still nonstop observing from head to toe, his two hands naughtily touching all around, as if he could get close to his own god no matter where he touched.

Suddenly, an exquisite brocade box in front of the desk attracted Qiao Qiao’s attention. She gently opened the brocade box and saw a pair of emerald jade bracelets quietly lying within the box. They were crystal clear and orderly with ripples.

Although she had given him a broken jade pendant, but according to common sense, she should at least use money to express her intentions. The jade bracelet was sold for a hundred thousand gold, and now that the treasury was running out, even a man like the royal uncle wouldn’t be able to get enough of this woman, why not let her take it and solve the problem, exchange it for some silver, and give her some interest?

After calming her emotions that wanted to go back to work, the pair of jade bracelets was already lying in Qiao Qiao’s arms. She smiled lightly and no longer wished to meet Yan Mo Chen. She only wished that she could leave safely with the bracelet.

Just as Qiao Qiao was about to leave, the guards at the door suddenly increased in intensity. The sound of footsteps made Qiao Qiao’s heart skip a beat. Did Yan Mo Chen discover her coming?

“Who?” “Who’s in the study?” The guard at the door shouted coldly.

Joe still patted his chest box. Seeing that it was still there, his heart was at ease. He turned around and hid behind the screen.

“What’s going on?” Joe could still hear the man’s voice.

“Sir, someone just reported that an assassin has entered the manor.” The guard replied.

“Assassin?” Yan Mu looked into the study with an inquisitive expression before turning his head towards the guards and said, “This is the prince’s forbidden area. No one is allowed to enter if they have nothing to do with it!”

“But if the assassin were to enter …” The guard said hesitantly.

“Does this lord not keep his word?” Yan Mu shouted coldly.

“This subordinate would not dare.” The guard cupped his hands together before turning around and retreating.

Yan Mu looked at the door of the study and left.

He did not know what had happened today. If Yan Mu knew that an assassin had barged in, why did he not let the guards in to search for him? Even if this room was Yan Mo Chen’s forbidden grounds, why did he not personally come to take a look? Instead, he stood at the entrance for a long time, seemingly deep in thought.

“Follow me!” The shadow of a person in a purple robe entered the house. He grabbed Qiao Qiao’s shoulder and flew out before he could react.
