Princess In Prosperous Age - 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.
