Anthomaniac Princess - C158
At this moment, Qiao Ruo Ying had already poured a glass of wine and said to Qiao Liangjin, “Today Jin’er has succeeded and become a princess. If mother knows about this, she would definitely be pleased.”
Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and raised her glass as well. “As long as we are fine, Mother will feel at ease.”
Qiao Zheng sighed and raised his goblet as well, saying, “You are all good kids.” After saying that, he drained his cup in one gulp.
Qiao Liangjin looked at her and smiled. She raised her glass and said: “The major and minor matters of the Prime Minister’s Estate are mostly the Eldest Madam’s concern. I also thank Eldest Madam for all her care and training over these years, allowing Qiao Liangjin to become an adult.”
Chastity felt a burst of panic in her heart. She quickly raised the cup and smiled, “No, no, I didn’t do it well. Jin’er, don’t blame me.”
Qiao Liangjin gave a shallow smile and did not say anything else. She downed all the wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the cup, stood up and said to Qiao Zheng Fu, “Your daughter is a little tired today, so you should go back and rest. Dad, take care of yourself.”
Seeing that her sister was about to withdraw, Qiao Ruo Ying stood up as well. After bowing to Qiao Zheng, she chased Qiao Liangjin out of the garden.
Although Qiao Ruo Ying was usually a little stupid, she was exceptionally sensitive today. After following behind Qiao Liangjin for a long time, she asked, “Jin’er, is there anything that you’re hiding from your brother?”
Qiao Liangjin stopped in her tracks and stood there. After a while, she sighed and said, “It’s fine, big brother. I’m fine. Let Caihe go and serve you. You only have Little Four, he can’t take care of you.”
Hearing that, Qiao Ruo Ying stuffed the evil spirit back into her own courtyard. She anxiously grabbed her hair and said: “Don’t, a woman cannot appear in my courtyard … “If Ling Yu finds out …”
Qiao Liangjin suddenly turned her head and looked at Qiao Ruo Ying: “Lingyu? “Big brother …”
Only then did she realize that she had said something wrong. She scratched the top of her head and remained silent.
Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Ruo Ying and asked softly, “Big brother, is Ling Yu in the Royal City?”
Qiao Ruo Ying looked into Qiao Liangjin’s eyes and knew that she could no longer hide anything from him. He could only sigh and say, “Yes, I’ve been living in Xianghe Court for three days already.”
“Isn’t she guarding the Big Dipper? Why did she come out?” What did she come to you for? Are you in love with her? “Between you …” Qiao Liangjin asked a series of questions, which made it difficult for Qiao Ruo Ying to resist.
“I don’t know… “What’s wrong?” Qiao Ruo Ying was curious as to why her sister reacted so badly today.
Qiao Liangjin smiled as the corner of her mouth twitched. She shook her head and said, “I have nothing to do, so I’ll go back and rest first. Tomorrow, when I have time, I want to see Lingyu.”
After Qiao Ruo Ying nodded, Qiao Liangjin returned to the Golden Flower Pavilion.
No matter how she tried, she couldn’t wrap her head around it. She began to carefully recall that day, when she went to the Imperial Palace, the one that cleared up the area and brought her to Fengxi Palace, but she also remembered that the empress dowager didn’t live in Fengxi Palace, but Wan Yan Palace. Why did the empress dowager suddenly change places to live there?
Qiao Liangjin wrote this doubt on a piece of paper before she started writing another piece of paper. It said, “Abdomen, tragic death, and grievous death.” Finally, she drew a circle on the four words that were written with great kung fu.
“Still awake?” A gust of wind blew and a man in black clothes was sitting beside Qiao Liangjin’s desk. Her beautiful eyes were looking at Qiao Liangjin.
Qiao Liangjin ignored the black clothed man and closed the door, closing the window as well. She returned to the desk and placed the paper in front of the black clothed man, saying, “Why? Previously, when the empress dowager lived in Wan Yan Palace, she invited me into the palace, but this time, she went to the Phoenix Palace?”
“Three months ago, the empress dowager’s Wanyan Palace went into water and was in the process of being repaired. That’s why she temporarily went to Phoenix Brothel.” The man in black replied with a look of “I know everything, I’ll say it”.
“Do you know who else has the same martial arts as you in the capital?”
“There aren’t any taller than me, but they are lower than me. There are at least ten taller than your purple smoke.” The man in black picked up a brush and began writing on the paper.
Not long later, he handed the paper over to Qiao Liangjin and said, “I’ll give you all the residences of these ten experts.”
Qiao Liangjin read the name on the paper quietly, smiled, folded the paper and said: “Thank you, Seventh Prince.”
The black clothed man looked up at Qiao Liangjin. He had seen many smiles in his life, some showing off, some pretending, but this woman, although she was extremely sad in her heart, she could still smile so casually on the surface, causing his heart to ache a little.
She then knocked on the table and asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“Not much. If I kill them, I’d rather kill three thousand by mistake. I can’t let a single one off the hook.” Qiao Liangjin’s tone suddenly turned as cold as ice, and her voice carried a sense of viciousness and calmness.
“Alright, I’ll help you.” All of a sudden, Qing Qing grabbed Qiao Liangjin’s arm and pulled her into her embrace.
Qiao Liangjin was caught off guard and fell into Su Chen’s embrace. Just as she was about to struggle, she heard Su Qingyun mumbling, “Don’t hide, I love you. I love you very much. Why are you so strong? So strong that it makes my heart ache.”
Qiao Liangjin’s heart trembled. A certain part of the sturdy wall suddenly collapsed. She was silent as she allowed Su Yan to hug her. Her heart was extremely desolate and without any emotions. She had already chewed up Zi Yan’s death and swallowed it. She would no longer panic at the thought of Zi Yan’s miserable death.
Su Bai also stopped talking. The room became quiet. The two of them were so close to each other that they could almost hear each other’s heartbeats.
After a very long time, the candles were almost burnt out. Qiao Liangjin finally opened her mouth and said: “You … It’s time to go. The sky is about to brighten. ”
After clearing her silence, she stood up and carried Qiao Liangjin to her bed. Just as Qiao Liangjin was about to say something, her finger gently brushed against her sleeping point. In the next second, she fell asleep.
She lightly kissed Qiao Liangjin’s forehead, then seemed to unwillingly kiss the corner of her lips. She touched the top of her head and softly said, “You need to rest, don’t blame me.”
After clearing his room, he called for Lu Li and told him to not let anyone wake up Qiao Liangjin before he left. He had other things to do, after which, he would concentrate on accompanying Qiao Liangjin to find those experts and find out who killed Zi Yan.
By the time Qiao Liangjin woke up, it was already past noon. She opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtain above her. The corner of her lips curled up as she thought about the hug last night, which would give her the strength to face more things in the future.
Qiao Liangjin stood up and took a sniff of her face before leaving. She took the list that was written to her last night and went straight to the Peace House.
The moment the door of the Mourning House was opened, the red clothed Hong Chen saw that Qiao Liangjin was once again dressed in men’s attire. He snorted and said, “You should be a man. This sort of outfit is suitable for you.”
Qiao Liangjin was not in the mood to bicker with him. She pointed upstairs and asked, “Where’s Bai Wu?”
“I just woke up.” After Red Dust finished speaking, he ignored Qiao Liangjin and started cleaning the counter with a feather duster.
Qiao Liangjin went upstairs and knocked lightly on the door. Bai Wuqing’s pleasant voice came from the other side of the door, “Who is it?”
“Me.”
Before long, the door opened. Bai Wu dressed in plain clothes looked down at Qiao Liangjin and smiled, “You came.”
Qiao Liangjin’s lips curved into a smile as she walked into Bai Wu Chen’s room. She placed the letter in her hand on the table and said: “I would like to know about these people’s daily habits. Can you help me?”
Bai Wu picked up the paper and looked at it carefully. He nodded and said, “Ok.”
Only then did Qiao Liangjin sit down with his head lowered.
Bai Wu pulled a chair over and sat opposite Qiao Liangjin. He asked gently, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Zi Yan is dead.”
“Purple smoke?” No memory.
“Zi Yan is dead?” A surprised voice came from the door.
Qiao Liangjin raised her head and looked at Hong Chen. Yes, Hong Chen should know who Zi Yan was. After all, they had gone to the Southern Kingdom together. She nodded and replied affirmatively, “Yes, Zi Yan is dead.”
“How did he die?” Red Dust frowned. He didn’t seem to like this kind of news at all.
“He was killed, cut open his stomach. It was terrible. ” Qiao Liangjin smiled sadly.
“Where’s the body?” Red Dust asked.
“I let Yu Sheng burn her with a fox. Other than me and Su Yan, no one else in the world knew that she was dead. Now, there’s the two of you.” Qiao Liangjin stretched out four fingers.
“Idiot, you burned the corpse, how am I supposed to find any clues?” Hong Chen scolded with a hint of vexation.
Qiao Liangjin was startled and asked, “You will?”
Bai Wu nodded and said, “Red Dust does have some ability. He can see things that we can’t see …”
“Daoist Priest?” Mage? “Old Daoist Mao Shan?” Qiao Liangjin had attributed all the nouns she thought of to the mortal world.
“No, I can only feel what a person feels after death.” Hong Chen slowly said.
Qiao Liangjin’s long eyebrows raised slightly. This was a godly figure.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you had this ability …” Qiao Liangjin complained.
“You never asked me.” Red Dust actually replied in a muffled voice.
Qiao Liangjin was speechless and waved her hand. She was not in the mood to argue about these things.
Bai Wu kept the letter and poured two cups of tea. He passed one cup to Qiao Liangjin and said in a soothing voice, “Have some tea.”
Qiao Liangjin nodded and drained the cup of tea handed over by Bai Wu in one gulp. She was curious as to why her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier …
After Qiao Liangjin fell asleep on the table, Bai Wuqing softly said, “I just wanted to help you. I wanted to help you believe that Zi Yan went to send my brother to the Green Mountain Academy.”
Hong Chen looked at Qiao Liangjin who was lying on the table and asked, “She wants revenge, can you make her forget about you like this?”
“I don’t know… Her consciousness was too strong… This yellow spring tea of mine may not be of much use, but… I felt her sadness. It hurt. ” Bai Wu said as he gently caressed Qiao Lianjin’s forehead with his palm.
Hong Chen looked at Bai Wu Chen and shook his head as he walked out of the door. “How many times can you help her? Your time is almost up.”
Bai Wu did not care about what Hong Chen said. He focused his attention on Qiao Liangjin and carried her gently. He pushed open the door on the balcony and flew out of the House of Peace.
