Anthomaniac Princess - C154
Qiao Lianjin was suddenly curious about the background of Zhen Zhen Zhen. She didn’t have any background, so why did she suddenly become the Prime Minister’s wife? Just where did she come from?
Then Qiao Lianjin called Lu Li to tell him about the chastity.
Hearing Qiao Liangjin’s question, Lu Li frowned and shook his head, “Reporting to Princess, we have already tried to find out more about the Lady’s identity, but to no avail.”
Qiao Liangjin was surprised. There was actually a secret that Lu Li and his team couldn’t unearth. She clearly didn’t trust Lu Li, but she suddenly remembered that Lu Li’s master, the Seventh Prince, was either the Emperor’s brother or something like that.
She waved her hand and smiled. “Since you can’t find out about this, you should at least be able to find out about those two girls who were walking around the palace on their own. Where did they go?”
Lu Li received his orders and left the Golden Flower Pavilion. Ruo Lan smiled and said, “Miss, do you think Lu Li is reliable?”
“Hmm?” Qiao Liangjin rested her cheek on one hand as she looked at Ruo Lan.
“Lu Li is a loyal person. Although he seems to be very loyal to you, little miss, why should he be?” “I don’t believe he would have been loyal to you if he hadn’t had a close friendship with you.” If Lan Yanzhi’s thoughts were clear, then so would his thoughts.
Qiao Liangjin was silent. It wasn’t that she didn’t know these things, but her connections weren’t strong enough to escape the assistance of cleanliness. She was a woman who was good at judging the situation and knew what to do at what stage. She waved her hand and smiled, “There’s nothing much to worry about. If there really is a day, he betrayed me and killed me.”
Qiao Liangjin spoke as if it was nothing serious. However, someone who was running towards the palace suddenly felt a chill on his back. Looking around, he didn’t see any wind. He thought about it for a while before heading back to the city.
Pai Di bought the snow lotus from the pharmacy outside and handed it to Qiao Liangjin. Qiao Liangjin let go of the heavenly silkworm inside the small cauldron. It seemed like the silkworm had been hungry for a long time.
When the last of the flower leaves disappeared into its mouth, it let out a burp and turned around to look at Qiao Liangjin. Its bean-sized eyes were staring at Qiao Liangjin.
Qiao Liangjin patted the top of its head and asked: “Are you full? How often do you have to eat? ”
The Heaven Silkworm’s head rubbed against Qiao Liangjin’s palm, then it twisted its chubby body and climbed into the small cauldron.
Qiao Liangjin looked at Yu Sheng, who was jumping on the grid while pulling a spiritual whirlpool, in confusion. Yu Sheng felt Qiao Liangjin’s gaze and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“When’s the next time he eats?” Qiao Liangjin asked.
“Seven days. It should be sleeping by now, so you don’t have to wake it up if there’s nothing to do. Aiya, master is very annoyed. I only heard rumors about it from rumours. If you want to know, you can ask Prince Ning.” Yu Sheng replied impatiently and concentrated on jumping the grid with the Spirit Swirls.
Qiao Liangjin nodded her head thoughtfully and entered the room. She found the jade green flute and lightly played it with it.
Not long later, a man dressed in a green robe who looked like a scholar landed in the yard. He nimbly dodged the cleaning mechanism in the yard, walked in front of Qiao Liangjin, clasped his hands, and greeted, “Greetings, Miss Qiao.”
“Ask Ning Xi about the heavenly silkworm.” Qiao Liangjin immediately issued the order. Recently, she had become more and more passionate about this sort of thing.
The green-robed scholar nodded his head and turned around to leave. Qiao Liangjin laughed coldly, “Hmph. Also known as mechanism … What the f * ck are you doing? ”
It was not until late at night that Lu Li finally came back from the palace and stood in front of Qiao Liangjin’s desk.
Qiao Liangjin was drawing quietly. She waited for Lu Li to open his mouth and only saw Lu Li after a long time. She looked up at Lu Li and asked, “What happened?”
“The two misses really did go to the imperial harem …”
“Did you go to a room with a noble concubine or to the palace of the Cold Palace?” Qiao Liangjin asked slowly.
Suddenly, fear flashed across Lu Li’s eyes. He found that he could not hide anything from the girl before him. It was fortunate that he had not been deceived by her company day and night.
“Hmm?” Qiao Liangjin’s voice contained slight unhappiness.
“Yes …” “The Cold Palace.” Lu Li replied.
“How did you get out of the palace?” The brush in Qiao Liangjin’s hand did not intend to stop.
“The First Lady entered the palace and personally went to fetch him.” Lu Li lowered his voice.
Qiao Liangjin’s brush stopped. She was silent for a moment, as if pondering over a problem. Suddenly, she smiled. “The relationship between the Chastity Heart and the Emperor is extraordinary.”
Lu Li quickly kneeled down and said, “Miss, your subordinate does not know anything else.”
Qiao Liangjin waved her brush and said: “It has nothing to do with you. You can go and rest.” She glanced at the painting on the table with regret as a full drop of ink dripped onto the face of Jin’ling and the other thirteen hairpins. This painting could already be scrapped.
Ever since Qiao Liangjin found out that her mother passed away due to the so-called ‘epidemic’, she felt that the appearance of chastity was not that simple. It was just that she didn’t think about the Emperor’s side.
When she thought about how Qiao Zheng had lived with such a woman who had a different relationship with him for fifteen years and yet did not realize it, she felt a wave of sadness. Did he really not know or pretended not to know?
Perhaps, on a night like this, something interesting might happen. Just like that, Qiao Liangjin got up and changed into a set of plain black clothes, went out the door, and ran straight towards the Celestial Fragrance Garden.
The Fragrant Sky Garden was brightly lit. At this moment, Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er were eating the dinner prepared by the maidservants. As for chastity, she was looking at her two daughters with a worried expression.
“Mother, why do you want us to go visit His Majesty? Why do you need us to look at that destitute Queen? ” Qiao Yue’er asked while eating.
“It’s nothing. You guys aren’t young anymore. It’s almost time to marry someone of a good age. I originally wanted to ask the emperor to find you a good marriage.” Joan of Arc’s face was still smiling.
Qiao Liangjin stood in the dark and rolled her eyes. Why did this scene seem like it was played on TV? Was it time to passionately depict her past?
As expected, Zhen Zhen Zhen Xin sighed and said, “You two also know, although mother is the eldest wife of this mansion, Qiao Liangjin has already grown up. No matter what, mother can’t win against her, so mother can only place her hopes on you three.
“I don’t know why little brother, that idiot, likes that slut so much.” Qiao Ya’s tone was filled with malice.
“Don’t spout nonsense, hurry up and burn that voodoo doll you made. If your father were to know that you made a doll about your sister, who knows what he would do. Did he forget the bitter three months on the mountain?” We have already missed the fifteenth day of the first month at the Imperial Palace. We cannot miss the May gathering. ” Joan of Arc continued.
Qiao Liangjin touched her forehead. Was there a party in May? Was it a Taurus party? Haha, at this thought, Qiao Liangjin’s mouth split into a grin.
Qiao Ya stopped her chopsticks and sighed. “I saw that the empress was crazy and that Yue’er and I were still laughing. Even if I passed your note to her, she would only giggle foolishly. Mother, what are you trying to do?”
The chastity touched the top of Qiao Ya’s head lovingly and said, “You must think of a way to get rid of the poison in your body. Otherwise, you must find a way to cure it every month. Mother’s heart hurts.”
Qiao Ya’s eyes suddenly shone. “Mother, is it that once Qiao Liangjin dies, I will be able to recover?”
Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. She had ten thousand ways to make people beg for death. If it wasn’t for the sake of the so-called ‘sister,’ she would have already poisoned these two sisters to death.
Zhen Zhen Xing shook his head: “No, at least we can’t do it. That’s right, have you seen His Majesty today? Has His Majesty seen what you all said? ”
Her eyes were filled with anticipation, which made Qiao Liangjin frown slightly. Why did Zhen Yuxin keep asking about the two sisters’ encounter with the emperor?
Qiao Liangjin immediately thought of many scenarios, and in the end, she was very sure that Chastity’s Heart was a slut who had a relationship with the Emperor. That’s right, thinking about it like this would make a lot of sense.
The chastity within her heart was to marry Qiao Zheng. Her goal was to more conveniently monitor Qiao Zheng and see if he had the heart to rebel against her. If not, then this gentle place beside her would be hell.
Chastity’s heart was no longer on the tail. She might have greater ambitions, such as … He would find a way to prove that Qiao Zheng had the heart to rebel and then openly drag the entire Residence of General into hell.
Thinking up to here, Qiao Liangjin’s fists gradually curled together, and she became more and more certain that her reasoning was not wrong. She then stealthily left the Celestial Fragrance Garden.
After crossing the Nine Winding Bridge, Qiao Liangjin discovered Qiao Yin standing on the bridge while conversing with that Caihe she had almost forgotten. She immediately felt that this courtyard was really interesting.
She lightly leapt to the top of the pavilion closest to them and quietly listened to their conversation.
“Aren’t you going back to the young master’s place?”
“No, no, no. Second Miss, this servant doesn’t dare go back. This servant wants to go back …”
“If you want to go back, that will depend on whether Princess Linglong wants you back. Don’t you want your brother to continue living?” Qiao Yin’s tone was full of threat.
Qiao Liangjin’s long eyebrows slowly raised up. There seemed to be quite a lot of stories behind this.
Some thoughts began to clear up in her mind. She seemed to have some understanding of why Caihe wasn’t willing to drug Qiao Ruo Ying.
Caihe heavily kneeled in front of Qiao Yin with a ‘putong’ sound. She said in a very low but very sincere voice, “Please be magnanimous, Second Miss. This servant really …” “Really …”
Qiao Yin chuckled, her voice full of ridicule. “I’m giving you a chance. To think that you’re rejecting me again and again after becoming the concubine of the First Young Master. Do you think that after that night, you’ll be very innocent?”
Caihe fell silent. From the very beginning, he had been a chess piece. Even now, he had only continued to carry out his duties as a chess piece.
“No one will care if you live or die in this courtyard, so you should think of a way to return to Eldest Young Master. Recently, Eldest Young Master has been busy outside every day, and there is only one attendant by his side, Little Four.
Before she could finish, she heard Qiao Yin cry out and cover her left cheek. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked around. There was no one here, but her left cheek immediately swelled up, becoming extremely high.
Caihe was also shocked. She looked around and hurriedly stood up, then ran in the direction of Peace Heart Garden.
On the other hand, Qiao Yin calmly took out her handkerchief and wiped her face. She looked sinisterly at Cai He’s back.
Cai He jogged all the way to the entrance of Calming Heart Garden. A figure quietly appeared from the shadows. She smiled at her and said, “Cai He.”
Caihe had already been frightened once on the Nine Winding Bridge. Suddenly, a black shadow called out her name. Her legs went limp as she sat on the ground and kowtowed deeply. “Caihe doesn’t dare, Caihe doesn’t dare.”
Qiao Liangjin’s clear and cold voice resounded beside Caihe’s ears, “What’s wrong? Caihe, you don’t recognize me anymore? ”
Caihe looked up in fear. The moment she saw Qiao Liangjin, she was dumbfounded. It was actually Qiao Liangjin? She nodded and swallowed, replying, “Greetings, eldest miss.”
“It’s the middle of the night. What are we doing at the Nine Winding Bridge?” Qiao Liangjin did not intend to beat around the bush.
Cai He was startled, and the chilliness in her heart became even more intense. She had already seen this young miss’s methods before, so she could only lower her head slightly when she knelt down.
“Hmm?” Qiao Liangjin’s voice seemed to become even colder.
“If Caihe is not mistaken, the person who injured Second Miss just now should be Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss should have clearly heard what happened, right?” Caihe seemed to have thought about how to answer and said in a serious tone.
Qiao Liangjin scratched her ears and laughed, “No, I’m still not too clear about it. I want to hear what you have to say.”
The Peace Garden was opened. A confused Ah Qing stood at the door, rubbing his eyes as he looked at the two figures kneeling at the door. He asked, “Who are you?”
Qiao Liangjin laughed, “Qing, it’s me.”
Ah Qing asked with a hint of surprise, “Big Miss, is it? It’s so late, why haven’t you rested yet? This is … Capture a lotus? Caihe, why are you kneeling here? Didn’t you already go to bed? ”
Qiao Liangjin lowered her head to look at Caihe. Her voice was filled with curiosity. “I’m also very curious, why would Caihe be here?”
Qing quickly gave way and let Qiao Liangjin in. Only Caihe was still kneeling on the ground without the slightest intention of moving.
Cai He wasn’t an idiot. She knew that ever since Qiao Liangjin discovered her actions, she had always been on the defensive. No matter what she said or did, Qiao Liangjin would probably no longer believe her.
Qiao Liangjin entered the yard and didn’t hear the footsteps of Caihe who had followed him. She raised her voice slightly, “Caihe, do you want to solve the problem at the door?”
Cai He was startled and her mind was in chaos. She was already in the Prime Minister’s residence and could not escape the fate of being a chess piece. She could only get up slowly and follow behind Qiao Liangjin.
Guo Caiting’s voice came from inside the room, “Qing, what’s wrong?”
“Third Madam, Eldest Miss is here, and Cai He …” Qing said as she led Qiao Lianjin to the room.
Just as she walked to the door, Guo Caiting opened it. She was wearing only a single robe. Looking at Qiao Liangjin, her gaze drifted over to Caihe who was behind her. Her voice was full of doubts, “Didn’t Caihe already go to sleep?”
Qing also curiously nodded and agreed. “Yeah, two hours ago, Caihe said she was going to bed.”
Qiao Liangjin smiled and walked over to Guo Caiting’s side. She placed her palm on Guo Caiting’s shoulder and softly said, “I’m so sorry for disturbing Third Madame’s rest. Has Xin Ting already gone to sleep?”
Guo Caiting pointed to the interior of the house, nodding, “That’s right, I’ve already gone to sleep. Come in and let’s talk. The wind outside is very strong.”
Entering the room, Qiao Liangjin sat on a round stool, rubbing her chin as she stared at Caihe, who was standing in front of her. She did not ask any questions, but only observed, wanting to see how long it would be before she opened her mouth.
“That… Young Miss, please send this servant out of the manor. ” Cai He knelt down and said with her head lowered.
“Why should I send you out?” Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly.
“This servant was sent here by Grand Sima Zhang Zhonghan and Princess Linglong. I originally wanted to seduce Eldest Young Master and make him lose his reputation, then ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister’s estate …” Caihe simply let go of his hands and began pouring the beans into the bamboo tube.
“Big Sima and Linglong actually had an affair?!” Qiao Liangjin was extremely surprised.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned strange, as if … Someone’s focus was different.
Guo Caiting coughed lightly, she patted Qiao Liangjin’s arm and softly said, “We should ask, why did the Great Sima do this.”
Qiao Liangjin snapped her fingers and thought, then said with a smile, “Right, we should pay attention to Da Sima and Yu Linglong, that’s not right, how on earth did those two end up together? Didn’t Yu Linglong deliberately want to marry the Seventh Marquis? I saw the green hair on the Seventh Prince’s head.”
Thinking of this, Qiao Liangjin actually laughed out loud.
Noticing that everyone in the room was looking at her in despair, she covered her mouth and awkwardly raised her hand. “Continue.”
“No, I just wanted to save my brother.” Caihe calmly replied.
“Where is my brother?”
“I don’t know… “I have always been a dancer from the Great Sima Manor.” Caihe gently replied.
“That’s not important anymore. Why are you so unwilling to do anything? I’m very curious about that. Don’t say that you’re interested in my brother, but think that he’s a good person. You’re unwilling to harm him. I won’t believe these words.” Qiao Liangjin waved her hand and continued.
Caihe was silent for a moment. With a somewhat despairing smile, he said, “I know that the odds of winning by begging you to save him are greater than being a chess piece to save him.”
Qiao Liangjin’s long eyebrows raised slightly. Why did this Caihe have a better grasp of human nature than her?
Qiao Liangjin rubbed her nose and said with a smile, “Then, now give me a reason, why should I help you?”
Cai He suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her hair, pressing it against her own neck. Her voice was cold, but firm. “This servant is willing to sacrifice my life in exchange.”
Qiao Liangjin looked at Caihe and saw the determination in her eyes. She was truly seeking death and she was truly in despair, Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly, “What does your death have to do with me? What does your brother dying have to do with me? In this world, human life is more lowly than a dog’s life.
Cai He sucked in a breath of cold air. Looking at Qiao Liangjin’s ice-cold eyes, she knew that she wasn’t lying. In her eyes, she didn’t care about her life. Her hand loosened, and the hairpin dropped onto the ground, emitting a clear cracking sound.
Qiao Liangjin nodded and said in satisfaction: “Caihe, you are the smartest woman I’ve ever met, but you are also the dumbest woman. Qiao Liangjin nodded and said in satisfaction:” Caihe, you are the smartest woman I’ve ever seen but you are also the dumbest.
Qiao Liangjin stretched and walked out of the Tranquil Heart Garden. She walked hurriedly into the night, thinking of her own sinister scheme just now. She could not help but laugh. Suddenly, she felt that she had let down her brother, after all, she still had to get him to cooperate with her.
Back at the Golden Flower Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin poked the small cauldron, trying to get the heavenly silkworm to come out. Back at the Golden Flower Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin poked the small cauldron, trying to get the heavenly silkworm to come out.
When he was ready to lie down, the light outside the door had already begun to shine. Pink sounded in the yard, “Quick, clean up the courtyard. Today is the day of the decree. Ruo Lan, prepare some silver for Eunuch Huaixin.”
Qiao Liangjin sighed and her body that was about to lie down sat up again. There were too many hardworking people in the yard, so even she, who wasn’t too hardworking, couldn’t keep sleeping.
Pushing the door open, he saw Pastor instructing the others to clean up the courtyard. She then greeted, “Morning!”
When Pai Di saw that Qiao Liangjin had woken up, she went up to him in surprise and greeted, “This servant greets the princess.”
Qiao Liangjin laughed and waved her hand, saying: “Forget it, it’s just a title. “Prepare more silver. Whoever comes to congratulate us will be given more silver. We don’t have much, but we have much silver. We must make our Prime Minister’s Mansion happy, do you understand?”
Ruo Lan held a tray in her hand with a variety of colored bags on it. She smiled and said, “Miss, look. We’ve already prepared all the servants.”
Qiao Liangjin was not only speechless, but this little girl, she really had the mind of a clown. She didn’t need to worry about anything and they had already arranged everything.
