Did they really need someone to eat it? How were they supposed to answer that question as guards? It was obvious.

The eight guards looked at each other, not knowing if they should move their chopsticks or not.

When Qiao Liangjin saw that everyone had stopped their chopsticks, she hurriedly urged them: "You guys aren't going to eat, let the little mutt finish it."

Yu Sheng, who was engrossed in his food, choked. This woman's method of tormenting others was always a new legend.

As if feeling that others didn't believe her, she quickly raised her three fingers and swore, "I swear, I definitely won't say anything. You guys hurry up and eat."

Only then did the eight guards begin to move their chopsticks.

Finally, after finishing the meal, the eight of them burped and said their apologies before flying off in all directions.

Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of her nose and snorted. "There's no difference if I have you or not. You guys even took a free wage."

Lu Li bitterly wrote everything he had just said onto a piece of paper and tied it to an owl. He said in a sad voice, "Go and find Master. Tell him not to be a strong lady like us."

Su Chen looked at the bandaged Li Zhendi on the bed and sat down on a round stool to the side. He asked, "Is General Li's injury really that bad?"

The doctor at the side quickly kneeled down and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that some of the burns have been covered with ointment."

Su Qing nodded her head and gestured for the doctor to leave.

As his two fingers swept across the air, Li Yizhi was jolted awake, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Su Ming and Su Chen.

Su Qingqing lightly flicked her sleeves. She did not ask any further questions, but her eyes slightly slanted as she glanced at the trembling Li character for the first time.

"I beg you, my lord, please spare my Li family. I am willing to die to atone for my sins."

There was not a single trace of emotion on her clear and handsome face. When Li Xingzhi sat down on the bed in despair, her clear voice rang out, "Who is it? Who wants to kill Qiao Ruo Ying?"

He thought that Su Chen wanted to ask about the crime of burning the principal consort, but unexpectedly, the one asking was Qiao Ruo Ying.

Wasn't that Qiao Ruoyin unable to find her corpse?

After clearing up that seemingly monstrous face, a slight smile appeared on his face.

However, that smile didn't reach his heart. At most, it was just a smile that didn't reach his eyes. It was just a kind of disdain.

As if he had made up his mind, Li Zhiru said seriously, "This subordinate doesn't know about this. I only know that Qiao Ruoyin has been killed on the Heaven Line."

Qing Qing maintained her smiling appearance, but her voice became colder and colder. "So, it's my Emperor Brother?"

"Your subordinate doesn't know. Your subordinate only knows that Qiao Ruoyin couldn't find her corpse because of the collapse of the Heaven Line Cave. Until now, the one we reported to was also missing."

Su Hengqing actually laughed out loud. "Haha, good, good. You are truly a loyal martyr. It's fine, but I don't know what to say."

He stood up and coughed twice before turning around and leaving the room. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned his head to say, "The ointment that the wangfei gave you needs to be properly applied. "No scars."

There was not even a little bit of gratitude in his eyes, but he still kneeled down and thanked her for clearing up.

He shook his head and walked out of the room.

It was already late at night. The guard nearby handed an owl to Su Ming. After Su Ming finished reading the contents of the letter, a smile appeared on his face that was completely different from before.

Warmth, cleanliness, doting.

He had once said that the woman he wanted was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Someone who could share the prosperity of the world, and someone who would be willing to be ordinary with him.

Now it seemed that the once fat and foolish girl had long been annihilated by the passage of time.

He admired the current Qiao Liangjin from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking that the girl was not far from him, he impulsively wanted to take a look at her.

As she thought about it, she lowered her head and realized that she was already standing on top of the wall of the courtyard she rented.

They slowly descended into the courtyard. Bai opened the door and saw him. He closed the door again and turned out the light.

Qing Shui rubbed the tip of his nose and walked towards the door of Qiao Liangjin's room.

Through the window, she could see the flickering flame of a candle. Before she fell asleep, she lightly knocked on the door.

"Come in." The girl's voice came out from inside.

After clearing up, he pushed the door open. The woman he loved was currently leaning against the bed, holding a book in her hand. She was staring at the book under the bright candlelight.

"Zi Yan, after a tired day, go to sleep." Qiao Liangjin did not raise her head.

"The candle flame isn't too clear. It's not good for your eyes." She walked in front of Qiao Liangjin and snatched the book from her hands.

He took a look at the cover and saw that it was Sheng Cheng's miscellaneous notes.

Qiao Liangjin obviously did not expect that the person who came would be cleared away. She looked at the culprit who stole the book from her hands with surprise, and then revealed a smile: "Seventh Prince, why did you come to visit so late at night?"

"To see my beautiful, dignified, and exceptionally intelligent consort." Qing Shui didn't mind using all of his words on Qiao Liangjin at the moment.

Finished speaking, he sat down on the bed beside Qiao Liangjin and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was leaning on the blanket.

The faint yellow candle flame projected itself into her bright eyes, flickering like a deep abyss, causing him to be unwilling to draw away.

Long fingers caressed her smooth face. He smiled, and so did she.

The man in front of her had eyes that were like shooting stars as he smiled gently. His skin that was like snow, under the candlelight, seemed to have a different sort of allure.

His fingers were long and thin and warm. He was a natural pampered man, so his fingertips were not rough.

A single man and a single woman, sharing a room. At this moment, the night was so dark that even the candlelight flickered gently.

Of course, if he hadn't been squatting at the side watching the two of them, it would have been a wonderful night.

He saw two people looking at each other with affection in their eyes. He had cultivated for eight hundred years, so he still understood this point. As such, he transformed into a human form and crouched to the side.

Qiao Liangjin tilted her head slightly as she glanced at Yu Sheng, who was yawning by the side, and asked, "Why are you squatting here instead of sleeping?"

"How do I get out?"

After clearing up, he grabbed onto the back of Yu Sheng's neck and walked to the door. After that, he threw him out and closed the door.

In the courtyard, Yu Sheng's "Ao" sound could be heard as another door opened. A moment later, it closed again.

Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, stood up. She was wearing only a shirt as she sat at the round table.

She took out the letter she had hidden, then listed out the names she had written on the paper.

Su Bai walked over to the table and looked at the letter carefully. He then looked at the names again.

His beautiful brows slightly knit as he asked, "Could it be that it has nothing to do with the Emperor?"

Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes at Qing Shui. Why didn't this little brother of her hurry up and wash her brother clean? She actually suspected the Emperor just like her.

However, she felt an indescribable happiness in her heart. Her finger slightly traced across the letter, and the faint smile on her face betrayed her current state of mind.

He shook his head and said, "Great Sima has always been a cautious and conservative person. How could he take the letter with the symbol of his residence and write such a letter to someone else?"

Qiao Liangjin nodded her head, "Yes, no one would use something with such an obvious mark to collude with him."

He put down the letter and pointed at Xiao Hu, who was lying on the table. "I've already had someone investigate this in the barracks. This person didn't come back from the sky. They also reported him missing."

"I don't believe that Xiao Hu is dead. He has already killed Qiao Ruoyin as many people wished, so he must be hiding somewhere right now. He will wait for this storm to die down, then come out and change his name and live."

Qing Qing smiled, touched her nose, and thoughtfully said, "Xiao Hu still has a sister-in-law in his family, and a nephew. The money he earns is all given to them."

Qiao Liangjin also clicked on Xiao Hu's name and asked, "What do you mean …"

"The secret guard sent me some news. He said that Xiao Hu has been together with this sister-in-law for a long time and that this child is also Xiao Hu's child." So I've been looking for people to spy on them. "

"Actually, what I'm most worried about is that someone already killed Xiao Hu and silenced him. If it were me who did this, I believe that only those who are dead would not reveal this secret." Qiao Liangjin's tone was a bit sinister and filled with determination.

A clear and appreciative gaze swept across Qiao Liangjin's face. She was truly a witty woman.

"But what if Xiao Hu said he wrote this secret somewhere else? What if his sister-in-law does not see Xiao Hu and then spread the news? "

"Then kill them all." Qiao Liangjin gently touched her fist. She was using the thought of using Xiao Hu to kill Qiao Ruo Ying.

Xiao Hu's sister-in-law and son were still alive, which meant that even if they killed his entire family, they wouldn't be able to find out about this secret. Thus, they would finally spread the news.

That meant that this secret was in the hands of someone very important. If Xiao Hu's entire family died, then this secret would be exposed.

Qiao Liangjin gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at her face. She asked seriously: "Can you help me with one thing?"

Su Qingqing spread out her palms, looking like she was extremely willing to serve you. She smiled and said, "Of course."

When the sky was about to brighten, the door finally opened. He walked out of the room full of energy and turned his head to wave goodbye.

Qiao Liangjin closed the door.
