Princess In Prosperous Age - 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!
