When Qiao Liangjin woke up, it was already past noon. She seemed to not remember what happened last night at all, so she called for Rulan, washed her face, and got dressed. She put on an angel dress, waved her arm and said, "We are leaving, we are going to harass the Seventh Prince at the entrance of the palace!"
When the maids heard this, they were all stunned. As they looked at Qiao Liangjin, their faces were filled with love.
Qiao Liangjin saw that none of them moved, and looked at her foolish appearance, and laughed: "What kind of expression are you guys showing? The Virgin Mary? We will set off now. Wait a moment, he will enter the palace. "
Zi Yan could not bear to see that. She walked up and pulled Qiao Liangjin's sleeve, saying: "Young miss …." The prince, he … It's gone. "
Qiao Liangjin's expression immediately turned sorrowful. She lowered her eyes and after a while, she said: "I know …" But what if I did, and he came back? "He used to hate my infatuated look the most …"
Hearing Qiao Liangjin's words, Ruo Lan couldn't help but burst into tears. Everyone in the courtyard started to sob softly.
Qiao Liangjin wiped her nose with her sleeve, raised her arm and shouted: "What are we sad about? What are we crying for? We have to wait for that pervert to come back. He's so motherly, so what?
Qiao Liangjin swung her arm and shouted. She raised her delicate chin as tears rolled down her cheeks and slid down her face from the corner of her eyes. Then, they silently fell to the ground next to her thin cheeks.
The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. The sound of the wind and the faint rumbling could almost have caused the citizens of the Royal City to think it was summer if not for the thick cotton robe he was wearing and the coals burning in his house.
Very few people knew that the Seventh Prince had met with calamity. They only felt that there must be some kind of demon that had appeared out of nowhere due to the strange weather.
Qiao Liangjin stubbornly stood at the entrance of the Imperial Palace with her hands in her sleeves and her head lowered. She was thinking about how many mornings that coquettish man in red had once stood there, his red robes fluttering in the wind, bright red like blood. The corners of the robe fluttered in the wind, tied around her waist with a white jade belt. Her exquisite chin was slightly raised.
His thin lips were always slightly pursed as he looked at himself making a ruckus. It was hard to say what his emotions were. His eyes roamed around as he stared at Qiao Liangjin with a joyful expression.
Qiao Liangjin smiled as she thought about it. He knew that she had fallen into depravity. She had thought that it was unintentional, and that there was no need for him to be moved or moved by love.
She was wrong, she was too selfish. She took all that she had done for herself for granted. She had never even thought of repayment. As he gently touched his arm, the red Mandala's mark remained as clear as ever. This was probably the last memorial he left in the world.
Raising her head, after the thunder in the sky died down, large snowflakes started to float out, smashing onto her face one by one.
The onlookers had never seen Qiao Liangjin in such sorrow before. They thought they could see how she was going to take liberties with the new Minister. However, Qiao Liangjin just stood there, ignoring the officials who came and went.
It was only when Qiao Zheng left the imperial court and saw him standing alone at the spot where he used to enjoy standing that his heart ached. He went over to pull Qiao Liangjin and said in a small voice, "Jin'er, your majesty the prince has his own destiny."
Qiao Liangjin withdrew her somewhat unfocused gaze and finally focused on Qiao Zheng's face. She asked seriously, "Father, you also feel that the sultry man is not dead, right?"
Qiao Zheng was dumbfounded, a sultry man? He smiled bitterly, "Yes, his martial arts is one of the best in the five continents. How could something happen to him? So His Majesty decided to keep it a secret. "
Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin's spirit was shaken again and she asked: "Then …" "The one who came to the capital was …"
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but His Majesty invited Grandmaster Guan Xing to take a look. The Grandmaster said that he can't see the Fate Plate clearly." Qiao Zheng repeated the words of the emperor to Qiao Liangjin in a low voice.
These words gave Qiao Liangjin, who had fallen into despair, a sliver of hope. She wiped her face carelessly and suddenly broke into a smile. She wrapped her arms around Qiao Zheng's arm and walked towards the carriage with a smile.
This round of sorrow and joy caused Qiao Zheng to feel uneasy, thinking that his daughter had gone insane from the shock. Her previously sorrowful appearance had now become so lively and lively.
Qiao Liangjin got on the carriage. After the coachman put down the curtain and drove the carriage, Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath and said, "I want to go to the Southern Kingdom."
"Impossible!" When Qiao Zheng heard this, he immediately interrupted Qiao Liangjin.
"I want to go to the Southern Kingdom. I'm not discussing this with my father, but I'm informing him." Qiao Liangjin's gaze was resolute as he looked at Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zheng was tongue-tied as he did not know what to say to persuade Qiao Liangjin. Last time, she went to Sheng Cheng alone and found Qiao Ruo Ying. It was not that he did not know.
He also knew that even though the daughter in front of him was usually very good at messing around, she never talked too much on big issues. He couldn't stop her from doing what she wanted to do.
Qiao Liangjin approached Qiao Zheng as if she was coaxing a child. She patted his arm and lightly rested her head on Qiao Zheng's shoulder, his voice becoming much softer. "Father, I know that you are worried about your daughter. Your daughter is going to the Southern Kingdom, and it is unknown how long she will take to return.
Qiao Zheng gave a deep sigh and said helplessly: "I am not worried about my own matters. Your father has been in the government for so many years, so what kind of storm have I not seen before?" "But you, a daughter of yours …"
Qiao Liangjin looked up and smiled, "No worries, I will bring Ziyan with me. Bai and Kuan will be leaving the house, and Seventh Prince's secret guard will also be by my side. You have to take care of Third Madame." I will only be at ease if she is in the Prime Minister's Estate. "
Qiao Zheng nodded and patted Qiao Liangjin's head lovingly. Her voice was filled with infinite helplessness. "The family has a daughter who has just grown up."
Qiao Liangjin returned to the Flowermoney Pavilion and started preparing. She thought for a moment before putting on her thick battle gown. Since Yu Linglong was now in the Southern Kingdom, she didn't want her to see her like this.
When Pink and Roulan heard that Qiao Liangjin was only carrying Purple Smoke this time, they tearfully followed by Qiao Liangjin's side, wanting her to bring them along.
Qiao Liangjin packed her bag, looked at Pink and Ran and sighed. She stood up, patted both of their shoulders and said: "Your tasks are also very important, you have to protect my brother and Xin Ting …"
Glancing at the little fox who was rubbing his belly on the beauty bed, she pointed at the little fox and said, "I will also take that away, leaving behind the Spirit Swirls. You all must take good care of the Spirit Swirls."
Upon hearing this, the little fox, Yuesheng, got up with a roll, jumped down from the beauty bed, and transformed into a human figure. She protested, "Why should I risk my life with you? Why should I!"
Qiao Liangjin sneered, "Are you going or not?"
Yuesheng looked at Qiao Liangjin's ice-cold eyes and the smile on her lips did not have the slightest trace of warmth. Her confidence that she had always been confident vanished as she muttered to herself, "Are you that fierce …"
Zi Yan had prepared a table full of good dishes, and Ah Kuan went out to find Qiao Ruoyin. When Qiao Ruo Ying entered and smelled the fragrance, she smiled and said, "Sister, today's dishes are really sumptuous."
Qiao Liangjin waved and indicated for Qiao Ruo Ying to sit down. She poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Qiao Ruo Ying as she smiled and said, "Big brother, you should take care of the teahouse when I'm not here, and if there's anything in the mansion that requires your help, go. If there's anything that you're unsure of, discuss it with Third Madame."
Qiao Ruo Ying sipped her wine and felt that there was something wrong with Qiao Liangjin's words. She put down her wine cup and asked, "Why do you say this?"
"I want to go to the Southern Kingdom." Qiao Liangjin replied quietly.
Qiao Ruo Ying placed her wine cup on the table. She lowered her head and placed her hands on her knees. She gently caressed them. She didn't make a sound for a long time, but her thoughts were unknown.
After a while, he seemed to have made a decision. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Liangjin, "I will go too."
Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. Her red and swollen eyes were filled with understanding. She laughed for a while and said: "Big brother, I'll let you use one hand. See if you can beat me first."
Qiao Ruo Ying was stunned. She was speechless. It was not that he didn't know his sister's abilities. The only thing he could do now was to do the same as his father, silently allow his sister to go out.
Qiao Liangjin drank all the wine in her cup in one gulp. She looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked with a hint of jealousy: "You're going to clean up the mess, right?"
Qiao Liangjin's chopsticks didn't stop. She wanted to eat more and then bid farewell to Bai Wuwu. Tomorrow at dawn, she would be leaving. She would be very busy tonight.
Hearing Qiao Ruo Ying's question, the corner of her lips curled up as she smiled and said, "The Southern Kingdom is quite warm. Let's go take a look."
He burped and stood up, his body swaying slightly. He pointed at his own nose and smiled bitterly, "Brother, are you really that useless? You can't even protect your own sister, and you still need to find your own younger sister."
Qiao Liangjin knew that Qiao Ruoyin had drank too much, and had been brooding over what had happened in Shengcheng. She gave Kuan a look, and Kuan went over to support her.
Qiao Ruo Ying steadied her feet and turned to look at Kuan and Qiao Liangjin. She said helplessly, "Brother is useless, but brother will be fine soon. Sister, please take care."
As he finished speaking, he pushed Ah Kuan away and walked out of the pavilion with a slight tilt of his body.
Qiao Liangjin looked at her wine cup and thought for a moment. In the end, she raised her teacup and drank two sips before she prepared to go to the Peace House.
Walking into the courtyard, they heard the sound of small footsteps coming from outside the door. Qiao Liangjin gestured for Bai to open the door, and outside stood Guo Caiting and Qiao Xinting.
Seeing Qiao Liangjin standing in the courtyard wearing a black uniform, Guo Caiting looked at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment. She seemed to be three to four laps thinner than usual. Was this Qiao Liangjin?
Qiao Liangjin waved towards the mother and daughter, gesturing for them to come in.
