You are the One and Only - C27
Even though he had said that, at the bottom of his heart, Qin Nuo was not interested in where the Green Tea Bitch lived. She saw that she was about to enter the palace. She couldn’t run, and she couldn’t hide. She was too anxious! He really wanted to wait until the dark of the night, when the winds were high, and escape from the manor when others weren’t looking! If she could even disregard the Miss Qin, why must she make such a huge sacrifice?!
It would be a lie to say he didn’t regret it at all! However, she could only blame herself for being too smart. She thought that nothing would happen to him within the next month or even that he would divorce her! Otherwise, let alone meeting with her brother, even if she didn’t know that her brother was here, she would have already run away!
“Empress, the Prince has returned with Yuqiang.” Ming Liu walked in and said happily. It had been a few days since they last saw Yu Qiang, not to mention Qing Luo, even Ming Liu and Bi Tao felt that they were missing something.
“What do they look like!” Ling Yexuan frowned. This woman was only talking to his brothers. Was she trying to pretend that she couldn’t see him?
“Ha ha!” Not waiting for Qin Nuo to speak, Ol ‘Eight couldn’t help but burst out laughing, as he glanced at Ling Yexuan. Third Brother, just how jealous are you? Even Old Fifteen and Old Sixteen cannot bear it! ”
“You two sit down first, I’ll go take a look at Qing Luo and Yu Qiang.” Qin Nuo seemed to not have heard the conversation between Ling Yexuan and Ol ‘Eight, as he smiled and instructed the girl. Ying He, Zhuo Tao, serve some tea for your highness. ”
Actually, without her order, Ying He had already brought in a cup of tea, but still replied with a soft “Yes” and lightly placed the teapot on a few tables.
Ling Yexuan felt like he was holding onto a breath of air, but he was unable to release it.
“In reply to Your Highness, Jade Peaches and Ming Liu have gone to take a look at Yuqiang!” Zhuo Tao immediately laughed and replied.
“There are no more rules!” Ling Yexuan scoffed, enduring the pain of not looking at the woman who had turned a blind eye to him. Tell Qing Luo that Yuqiang can only stay in the Duke Palace for half a day, and will be returning to the palace with Prince Sixteen in the afternoon. ”
“Yes sir!” Ying He saw that the prince’s expression was strange, and immediately agreed, then went over to support Qin Nuo’s hand, and followed her out.
As if not seeing Ling Yexuan’s expression, Ol ‘Eight sat down on a chair by itself. Zhuo Tao was about to pour tea when he stopped his. Instead, she just picked up the teapot and poured a cup for herself and placed the teacup next to her mouth.
When Qing Luo heard that Yu Qiang had returned, she immediately cried. When she saw Yu Qiang, she told him to hold it in. However, she couldn’t help but cry as she hugged her younger brother. Ming Liu and Bi Tao stood to the side and tried to persuade them, but they were only able to do so after a long while.
However, Yu Qiang did not cry. He was like a little adult as he helped his big sister wipe the tears off her face and tried to persuade her in a childish voice.
“Sis, don’t cry! When I grow up and have the ability, I will definitely bring you out. ”
When Qin Nuo arrived, when she heard Yu Qiang’s words, she could not help but walk forward and pinch Yu Qiang’s small nose.
“Yuqiang is a little man, he knows how to persuade my sister!”
“Empress, don’t pinch me!” Yu Qiang took a step back and his face turned slightly red. In the palace, no one will pinch anyone! ”
When Qing Luo heard Yu Qiang advise her like a big child previously, and how it was now, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Ming Liu, Peaches and Ying He could not help but laugh along as well. After laughing, Ying He just remembered that the Duke still seemed to be angry at the other side!
“Ming Liu, Peaches, the Prince was asking about you two just now!”
“Isn’t it Zhuo Tao and Qingfeng Qing Shuang?” Ming Liu disagreed at first, but as she spoke, she looked at Qin Nuo seriously. Could it be that the Empress has angered the Prince again? ”
“Damn it!” “Jade Peaches could not help but glare at Ming Liu. It’s fine if we speak of some things, it’s fine if you speak of them in front of the Empress. ”
“You guys must have been talking about me behind my back!” Qin Nuo smiled as he looked at the girls.
“Also …” And no… It’s just that I feel that there’s something strange going on between the Empress and the Prince! ” Ming Liu’s face was completely red as she stuttered. Perhaps it’s because the Empress is the Empress and not an outsider that she’s different from the others! ”
“Of course. Everyone is different! ” Jade Peaches immediately followed up.
“Let’s go out for a walk. Qing Luo definitely has a lot of things to say to Yu Qiang.” Qin Nuo saw that Qing Luo was looking worriedly at Yu Qiang, and said with a smile. If you two have had enough to talk about, come out and hang out. Don’t be bored in the house. ”
It was already the end of September. Although it wasn’t very cold outside, there was still a slight chill. Qin Nuo was already afraid of the cold, so she subconsciously hugged her arms. Seeing this, Peaches hurriedly took a few steps back to the main house. After a short while, she took out a cloak and put it on Qin Nuo. Her lips moved, but she did not say anything.
“Ming Liu, Ying He, the two of you go back and see. Your Highness, do you have any orders? Qin Nuo instructed.
“Empress, Servants should follow them from far away!” Ming Liu immediately said. If the Prince sees that you and Peaches have not returned, he might even think that you have gone out of the house again! ”
Qin Nuo glanced at Ming Liu. Even though Ming Liu’s tone was calm, a trace of fear and worry flashed through her eyes. It was obvious that someone had threatened Ming Liu, or else he would not be scared like this! That monster really knows how to bully the weak!
“Empress!” “The two of them walked a few steps forward, and Peaches lowered her voice.” When this servant entered, Prince was instructing fifteenth and sixteenth princes to sit there and not run around, saying that they had something to say to eighth prince in private before taking him down to the study. This servant didn’t think much of the prince, but the eighth prince’s expression didn’t seem quite right. Could it be that the prince has suspected the Empress and sent the eighth palace to look for her? ”
He had suspected it long ago! Qin Nuo thought. Suddenly, her face changed. She remembered something and stretched out her hand to grab onto Peaches’ hand.
“Peaches, hurry out of the house and help me bring a letter to your Young Master!”
“But …” “Alright.” “How am I supposed to get out?”
“Naturally, we will go out in the open and in the open.” Qin Nuo bit her lips. “Right now!”
Qin Nuo drank the tea in her cup as if nothing had happened, but she didn’t dare meet Ling Yexuan’s sharp gaze. Ever since Ol ‘Eight went out and came back, Ling Yexuan had been staring at her like this ever since he brought Old Fifteen and the rest away, causing her to feel terrified.
She told Ling Yexuan that Jade Peaches’ father’s body wasn’t feeling well. She thought that it wasn’t a big deal anyways, so she decided on her own and told Jade Peaches to go back to take a look. Ling Yexuan only kept a cold face and did not say anything! But if everything went well, Peaches should be back! Could it be that something went wrong in the middle of it?
“It’s already so late, Peaches won’t be back!” Just as Qin Nuo was thinking, Ling Yexuan opened his mouth. Having the lass help you wash up, you should rest a long time ago! ”
Ling Yexuan’s voice was very light. Other than indifference and estrangement, he could not seem to hear any other meaning behind his voice. However, it still caused Qin Nuo’s heart to tremble. Su Yun moved his mouth, just as he was about to speak, Ling Yexuan stood up and walked out.
Qin Nuo could not tell if the back of the figure gave off a dangerous aura, but the uneasiness in the bottom of her heart grew bigger.
That night, Qin Nuo slept extremely unsoundly, and would always wake up from her dreams and break out in a cold sweat.
In this past month, she was only concerned with guarding against Ling Yexuan and thinking about how to leave the Rui Palace, but she had forgotten the most important thing! There was one person who was even more of a threat to the Qin family and her than the demon, and that person was — Second Prince Ling Zhongchi!
In order to make a marriage alliance with the Qin family, even if Ling Yexuan suspected her, he would still be able to keep his cool or turn a blind eye to it. and even pretended not to know anything before Qin Muxue returned! But, if Ling Zhongchi found out about it, then the consequences would be unimaginable!
And the only person who could give Ling Zhongchi the chance to find out was none other than her!
She only thought that Ling Yexuan would send people to follow her brother, but she forgot that the others would also follow her brother. Even if my brother is vigilant, if Ling Zhongchi truly wants to find traces of the Qin Clan’s mistake, he will not let this matter go! If Big Brother fell into Ling Zhongchi’s hands, things would become even more complicated. Not to mention that Big Brother and Tang Mo would also suffer from the fish pond.
She had heard that Ling Zhongchi was ruthless!
