After leaving the palace, Qiao Qiao still didn't say a word to Xiyue. The two of them looked at each other in silence and walked into the palace.
Meanwhile, a guest seemed to have arrived at the palace.
"Your Majesty, you've returned." Luo Qinglun stood up from her chair with a face full of courtesy. She spoke to Qiao Qiao with a tone full of flattery.
"That's right, big brother. The emperor treats Qingqing very well. Qingqing is the only one who doesn't want to go back!" When Luo Qingqing heard that her brother still hadn't given up on taking her away, she couldn't help but to shift her body a little more in the direction of Qiao Qiao. She had finally found the opportunity to sneak into the palace with great difficulty.
"Qingqing!" Luo Qinglun shouted lightly, but her tone still carried a trace of doting.
"Brother ~ ~ ~" Luo Qingqing got up and grabbed Luo Qinglun's arm, shaking it non-stop, "Just agree, just agree. There's still you in the palace, as well as the emperor's sister-in-law looking at me. I won't mess around, I'll definitely be obedient!" Luo Qingqing patted her chest in assurance.
"Your Majesty, look …" Luo Qinglun took a deep breath and was also in a dilemma.
"My beloved concubine, if that's the case, then leave Qingqing by my side. Zhen sees that she's pure and cute, so I like her quite a bit." Joe still raised his hand and smiled.
"Then... Then Luo Luo shall thank Your Majesty's favor on behalf of little sister! " Luo Qinglun's hands clasped in front of her as she slightly bowed. There was a distinct trace of displeasure on her face.
"You must listen to your majesty's words as long as you're by his side. Don't be rude, do you understand?" Luo Qinglun stood up, still looking worried as she instructed Luo Qingqing, "If you do anything wrong, I'll definitely bring you back immediately!" He threatened again.
"Got it, got it, bro, I promise you I'll be good." Luo Qingqing smiled happily.
Qiao Qiao's eyes were still squinted as he looked at the two siblings in front of him. The corners of his lips curled up.
"Then Your Majesty, chenqie will take her leave first." Luo Qinglun wanted to say something but hesitated. She was afraid that she would say something, but Luo Qingqing was here so she stopped herself. Her long, slender eyebrows shot Qiao Qiao a glance before she quickly retreated.
Qiao Qiao gave a gentle smile in response. She could tell that Luo Qinglun was inviting her to 'visit' the Luo Cheng Palace that night.
"Alright, Qingqing, I've ordered some people to clean up the Jade Smoke Pavilion in the west wing. You can rest there for the next few days." Just as Luo Qinglun left, Qiao Qiao sent her away. She still needed some time to calm down and think about her encounter with that man in black.
"Thank you, sister-in-law of the emperor." Luo Qingqing said with a joyful smile on her face.
"Xiyue, bring Qingqing over." Qiao Qiao still shot a glance at the still dazed Xiyue and said.
"Yes."
In the entire hall, only Qiao Qiao remained. His mind was filled with the words of the black clothed man today, he was willing to help her take back the true power of Qiao Guo. This condition was quite tempting to Qiao who had just emerged and had been suppressed for many years.
Qiao still pursed his lips and smiled, but … She thought back to the words the black clothed man said by using his inner force. She couldn't help but be suspicious of the relationship between the black clothed man and Prime Minister Luo. Why would he ask her to help investigate Prime Minister Luo's family?
The Luo Family was the head of the four great clans of Qiao Country, and was also one of the founding elders of the country. Prime Minister Luo had even assisted the late emperor, and had the late emperor personally bestowed a golden medal for saving his life, this was also the reason why the Regent feared them. If Qiao Qiao did not have the support of the Luo Family, he would have died long ago, and if she had taken Luo Qinglun as her concubine, it would have been to win over the Luo Family.
If that was the case, then the Luo Family was her benefactor and the State of Qiao, how could she help that black-clothed man investigate the Luo Family?
What she wanted to know the most right now was who the black clothed man was and what his goal was!
In the middle of the night, Qiao Qiao's eyes were still tightly shut as his ears twitched. Indeed, a shadow flashed across the roof, then Qiao Qiao's eyes were still tightly shut as a wave of warm air rushed over.
Qiao Qiao remained unmoved, her eyes still tightly shut. She wanted to see exactly what this person's purpose for coming to visit late at night was.
"Since you're awake, why not open your eyes?" A white silhouette lightly flashed by, then disappeared without a trace.
Qiao Qiao still had a smile plastered on her face. It seemed that her act of sleeping had been seen through by someone. She opened her eyes slightly and spoke with a lazy tone. "Since you came, why don't you show yourself?"
Joe's lips were still thin, but a familiar memory surged through his mind.
"If I'm not wrong, you must be the leader of the Qing Jue Palace, right?" Even Qiao Qiao himself did not understand why a reclusive and reclusive emperor would have such a deep impression of this fox's head. He could even tell who it was just by looking at it.
According to what she knew, this Qing Jue Palace was a mysterious killer organization in the Kingdom of Qiao, where assassins were gathered in the palace, and the Death Spell was even more unfathomable. The palace and the martial arts world had always kept to themselves, and now that he had brazenly come to the palace, there must be some sort of conspiracy.
"Your majesty actually knows this sovereign as well. It looks like the emperor really does have a hidden agenda." When Joe still said his name, Death was obviously startled, but then his lips curled up again.
"The Palace Master of the Qing Jue Palace is extremely famous. Who in the State of Qiao does not know of it? It is just that I do not understand. The Palace Master has just met with me today, and the three days are not up yet. Why are you visiting so late?" Qiao Qiao still had a bright smile on her face. When this person spoke, she already knew that this person was the black clothed person she had seen today.
"Your Majesty is indeed a smart person. This sovereign said that I love dealing with smart people the most. It seems like this sovereign found the right person." As for the fact that she had already guessed his identity, she was not surprised. "Since you have made a deal with the emperor, this sovereign has come to offer his sincerity."
"Oh? How do I see the sincerity of Asgard Mistress? " Joe raised his eyebrows.
"Sou ~" A letter was still flying towards Qiao Qiao. However, Qiao Qiao still extended his hand to grab it and held the letter in his hand.
"This is the evidence of Yan Mo Chen's capable subordinate, Grand Commandant Xi's relief for corrupt officials a year ago. The Emperor can take this opportunity to show off his skills." Nie Tian lightly pursed his lips.
"It looks like the Palace Master has put in quite a bit of effort behind our backs for our River Mountain." Qiao Qiao continued to sneer, "However, with my reputation as an unparalleled puppet emperor, even if I have evidence, what can I do?"
"The Emperor won't hide his power and become a puppet for the rest of his life." The old man whispered.
"Why does Mistress think that I don't know anything about it?" Qiao Qiao still frowned. If she were to say it, wouldn't it be more carefree to be a worthless emperor and linger in the beauties of the imperial harem? Why would she stir up a conflict in the imperial court?
"Because the Emperor is already beginning to show his edge. Gold can't hide it." "The Emperor is so intelligent. He will always use this evidence against the Emperor."
"Haha, since Asgard Master has given us sincerity, we must return the favor." Joe was still smiling.
"Then in three days, this sovereign will be waiting for the emperor's good news." With a chuckle, he spun around and disappeared into the night.
Qiao Qiao still held the letter in her hand tightly after the Art of Accumulation had left, her eyes still open. If she really used the proof given by the technique, it would mean that she had agreed to cooperate with the people from the Qing Jue Palace. If she did not use this proof, then she really did not know how to take the first step.
This art could see through one's heart.
Qiao Qiao's lips continued to curve slightly. He leaned on the table and waved his large brush, writing something unknown.
