Princess In Prosperous Age - C58 Crossing a Waterway
With both hands behind his back, he raised his head to look at the narrow sky. His entire body was exuding a faint noble aura and his long hair was stained with the water droplets of the waterfall.
Qiao Liangjin walked to the side of Su Qingqing with a smile and looked up at the sky.
The sound of the waterfall was somewhat loud, and Qiao Liangjin’s voice was also slightly louder. “What are you looking at?”
He cleared his slightly tilted face and looked at Qiao Liangjin’s delicate face. A smile appeared in his eyes as he took out a piece of blood jade and handed it to her. He said, “I couldn’t hold back last night and stole this thing. Sorry.”
Qiao Liangjin glanced at the blood jade that Nangong had given her. She waved her hand and said, “This is for you, I don’t like this thing.”
Ye Zichen didn’t refuse it, and straightforwardly kept the blood jade in his arms once again.
Yuesheng was leaning over the waterfall, waving his arms at the two of them.
Qiao Liangjin shouted again, “Have you noticed that Yuesheng’s demonic spiritual energy seems to have increased? He’s grown a little too.”
Qing Shui rubbed his ears. His hearing had always been very good, but this little woman seemed to be afraid that the sound of the waterfall would mask her voice. She must speak loudly like this.
He nodded and looked at Yu Sheng who was climbing up and down.
This was a secret between him and Yu Sheng. He could change it to Yu Sheng at any time. The two men decided not to reveal this secret for the rest of their lives.
Ling Yu rushed over from the village and jumped into the water. He floated up from the water again and pointed to the bottom.
Qiao Liangjin said loudly, “Let’s go first, we can leave from here.”
Yuesheng saw Lingyu jump into the water, jumping off the waterfall and into the water.
Since he was forced to dive into the water every day to practice swimming, his swimming speed had improved significantly.
Qing Qing carried Qiao Liangjin and felt that she was much lighter than she thought. She couldn’t help but feel a slight pain in her heart, as if she was connected to the weight Qiao Liangjin had lost.
He looked at Qiao Liangjin’s face as if he was looking at a priceless treasure. The corners of his lips curled up into an uncontrollable smile, “Don’t be so ugly in the future.”
Qiao Liangjin could actually feel her heart beating faster. Her head suddenly opened wide.
Would he lower his head and kiss himself? Should I respond to him? But he was the younger brother of that emperor. Why did he seem to be bewitched these past two days, as if he was liking getting along with him more and more? Obviously, they didn’t have a very pleasant time together.
She looked into his eyes, her own little nervousness rippling through them.
Su Qing suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly.
When he smiled, his eyes were like fireworks in the middle of the night, illuminating the somewhat gloomy bottom of the cliff.
He casually said, “I’ll bring you to swim there.”
Qiao Liangjin put his arm around her clean neck and made a gesture of trust. He leaned into his chest and said softly, “Don’t lose that damn fox …”
The clear eyes seemed to smile and nod. He said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m good at swimming.”
Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. He really thought of himself as a weak and delicate little girl.
Seeing Qiao Liangjin’s confident smile, Su Chen turned around and jumped into the water with Qiao Liangjin in tow.
The water flowing at the bottom of the cliff was bone-chilling cold. If it weren’t for the fact that her hands were constantly sending inner force to Qiao Liangjin, her teeth might have been chattering.
Ling Yu’s breath was extremely good. She had been holding her breath the entire time as she brought the two people and a fox to swim towards the bottom of the pool.
The moment the little fox was cleared into the water, it used an extremely thin black rope to tie itself around its waist and pulled it down with it.
Qiao Liangjin held his breath and closed his eyes. He then tightly leaned against the arm that was about to clear it.
After leaving this place, he would probably return to the Royal City and they would part ways here.
Her heart was in turmoil. She had been pushed down the cliff because of Qiao Ruoyin’s poison. Who was behind all of this?
Three steps were taken to kill her, each one perfectly capable of murdering her.
If she found out that it was really the Emperor who did this, she would definitely slaughter her way into the Imperial Palace and chop off the fingers of the Emperor one by one.
But would clearing up allow him to take revenge?
If he cleared the way and stood in front of the emperor, would his dagger be able to stab into the chest of the person who had murdered his brother?
Thinking about it for the past half month, he couldn’t sleep at all. He was worried about his brother’s death, and also worried about whether he was still alive.
Qiao Zheng’s old age, her galloping, and Qiao Ruoyin’s martial arts had all been lost. Who would be the one to pay?
After a moment of distraction, she choked on the saliva in her nose and quickly held her breath.
Unexpectedly, a thin lips pressed down on hers.
Qiao Liangjin’s eyes were wide open. Aiya, shit, isn’t this the most common scene in costume dramas? As long as you’re in the water, the male lead will definitely give the female lead a whiff?
A hand pushed for her to clear her throat.
She was indicating that she didn’t need to cross the air, but the smell of the rosin was faintly transmitted between their lips. She was actually a bit unsettled, and her hands that were originally pushing her suddenly changed to holding the collar of Su Qing’s shirt.
His clear chest slightly trembled, as if he felt the change from resistance to welcome. He actually used his tongue to gently tap on her teeth.
She actually hoped that there would be no end to this road.
After passing through the long waterway, he could already see the bright sunlight. She reluctantly let go of Qiao Liangjin, her eyes filled with yearning.
He climbed up to the shore from the water.
Qiao Liangjin was a bit embarrassed. He coughed twice and raised his head to look at the sun at noon. He pinched his wet hair and said, “It’s still warm here.”
Ling Yu, however, did not come ashore. She floated on the surface of the water and said to Qiao Liangjin, “Miss Qiao, your brother will be delivered to Sheng Cheng in fifteen days. You just wait there.”
Qiao Liangjin hurriedly waved his hand and smiled to indicate that she understood.
Ling Yu turned around and dived into the water.
After clearing his body that was also wet, he sat down on the shore, put his finger to his lips and let out a loud and long whistle.
Not long after, several dark guards approached them.
Su Chen pointed at himself and Qiao Liangjin and said, “Go find two sets of clothes.”
Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at his clothes. Wow, they were so close-fitting that even his cup could be seen. He quickly covered his face and curled up his legs.
The guard disappeared in an instant.
The little fox, Yu Sheng, groaned from the side. “I don’t want to go through this waterway anymore.”
When Qiao Liangjin thought of that kiss in the water, a trace of red clouds appeared on his jade-white cheeks.
Su Chen closed his eyes and touched his lips with his fingers, as if the kiss in the waterway was a dream.
Not long later, two sets of clothes were delivered by the guards.
Qiao Liangjin, who was carrying a man’s outfit, found a huge rock and hid it behind before changing his clothes.
The green robe was wide and long. Qiao Liangjin pulled out his dagger and cut off the part where he dragged the ground.
He let his wet hair fall down the back of his head and walked towards the door to clean it.
He had changed into a new set of clothes and was wearing a red brocade robe that was reflecting the light of the noon sun.
Only then did Qiao Liangjin realize that he was probably wearing this man’s clothes.
Sigh, he had still cut open such a beautiful robe.
Qing Qing squinted at Qiao Liangjin who was walking towards her.
His face was as white as jade and reflected the light. His hair was long and wet, as if luring him to continue his journey to the waterway.
Just as he was about to say something, the dark guard approached him and whispered something into his ear.
The face of the guard immediately darkened. He gently waved his hand and the guard retreated.
Qiao Liangjin’s face froze as he saw Qing Shui’s expression. He walked to his side and said seriously: “Go and busy yourself with your matters.”
He cleared his throat and then asked: “Are you still staying in Sheng Cheng?”
“Yes, I want to find Xiao Hu. I want to find out who killed my brother.”
“Be careful. I will leave Lu Li and my hidden guards with you.” He cleared away all the guards without a second thought.
Qiao Liangjin shook his head. He had already done such a great favor for her. If she still owed him, she would have to repay him with her own body.
“What should I do if something happens to you?” Clearing his mind, he did not realize that the person who he liked to call himself “This King” had now changed to “I.”
Qiao Liangjin was about to continue to reject them, but when he heard these few people, he was left speechless, unable to refute them.
He could only nod slightly and say softly, “Many thanks.”
As she looked at the charming girl in front of her, a faint sadness arose in her heart. He was truly worried for her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have followed her like this and protected her the whole way.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly grabbed Qiao Liangjin’s hand and lightly pressed her arm.
Qiao Liangjin only felt his arm heat up slightly. When he moved his hand away, she realized that there was a red tattoo on his arm, like a Mandala blooming.
Su Su Qing smiled apologetically, “I don’t have anything to show you. This is my emblem. If you need help, you can go to any shop with a clear name.”
After saying that, he turned around and left with a hidden guard.
Qiao Liangjin stared blankly at the Mandala on his arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Several guards flew down, and one of them cupped his hands and said, “I am Lu Bing, please follow us, Miss. I’ll take you to the Line Heaven.”
Only then did Qiao Liangjin put down his sleeves and nod.
She dragged him to the edge of the sky and shouted, “Zi Yan, Bai, I’m back!”
A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, holding her arm tightly with both of his hands, he asked nervously: “Are you alright? You’re not poisoned, right? ”
Qiao Liangjin gently struggled free from his hands, but politely said with some distance between them: “Sixth Prince of the Southern Sea, men and women cannot understand this.”
Then he waved his hand and ran towards Zi Yan.
On the other hand, Zi Yan, who was usually calm, hugged Qiao Liangjin and wiped away her tears.
“Miss, I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do after waiting for so long. If something happened to you, what would we do?”
