Only then did Guo Caiting repress her surprise, walking over with a handful of things in her hands. She handed the item over to Zi Yan, and then looked at Qiao Liangjin up and down, and asked, "Jin'er …" "You …"

Qiao Xinting could not conceal the shock within her heart as she asked, "Wa, big sister, your body …"

Qiao Liangjin no longer planned to hide herself from the mother and daughter pair. She stretched out her arms, spun around, and said with a smile, "How is it?"

Guo Caiting's eyes were filled with surprise as she nodded, "That's great, that's great. Jin'er, you're so beautiful. Just like your mother. "

Her admiration for Qiao Liangjin had already reached the point of prostrating herself to the ground. Ever since the last incident, Qiao Xinting had been studying even more seriously, learning Qiao Liangjin's behavior bit by bit. She had even started to read the dull and incomprehensible Military Strategy book.

Guo Caiting pointed to the bag and said, "This is the cotton robe I sewed for you, and there's a piece of duck down there. Xin Ting told me that you told me that the duck hair was very warm, so I started to look for it. I originally wanted to give it to you last night, but you left in a hurry after eating."

Qiao Liangjin stared at Guo Caiting and her daughter in shock. In this era, it was extremely difficult to find and rework the duck feathers and then sew them into a robe.

Guo Caiting smiled shyly and said, "Just now, I heard the Lord Prime Minister say that you're going out. If I had to take care of your courtyard as usual, I would've rushed over here." Then, he wiped the jade bracelet off his wrist and stuffed it into Qiao Liangjin's palm.

Qiao Liangjin was a bit baffled and asked, "What is this …" Could it be a relic of my mother from the legends? "

Guo Caiting was shocked for a moment. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Silly child, carry something to protect yourself. If you don't have any money, you can put it in the pawnshop."

Qiao Liangjin lowered her head to look at the jade bracelet in her hand. After a moment of silence, she suddenly stepped forward, hugged Guo Caiting, and gave her a fierce hug before letting go.

Guo Caiting didn't expect Qiao Liangjin to act like this. She was a little excited and started crying, causing Qiao Xinting to scold him, "Mom, Big Sis is just going out. It's not good for you to cry like this."

Guo Caiting smiled, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm not as sensible as my family's Xin Ting, it's true."

After sending off Guo Caiting and her daughter, Qiao Liangjin flipped her body and walked out of the Golden Flower Pavilion. When she arrived at the auspicious residence, the door was wide open. A white-robed Bai Wu sat in the hall, as if he had been waiting for someone.

Qiao Liangjin entered and closed the door. She wiped the tip of her nose and said: "Your health is not good, you still dare to let the cold wind blow on you."

"Just like the last time in Sheng Cheng, you're going to the Southern Kingdom, right?" Bai Mo tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

He poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. While rubbing the teacup with both hands, he said, "When I'm not around, Mascot must be made. I want to know everything in this capital that I shouldn't know about."

Bai Wuya's finger suddenly paused, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, "I know that you won't listen to my words, but I still want to persuade you. However, to the point where I can't say anything … Forget it, I'll stay in the capital. How about we have Hong Chen accompany you there? "

Qiao Liangjin thought about that man who was not her noses and quickly waved his hand, "No need, forget it, I have brought many experts with me. They will be fine."

Bai Wu raised his peach blossom eyes and looked at Qiao Lianjin. With a calm but firm voice, he said, "If you don't let Hong Chen accompany you, then I will follow you."

Qiao Liangjin furrowed her long brows and looked at Bai Wuyi. Bai Wuchen's deep emotions did not seem to be a joke. She helplessly shook his head and said, "Fine, it's fine for Hong Chen to follow, but he's still unwilling."

Bai Wuya replied with certainty, "No, this time, he is very willing."

Qiao Liangjin bid farewell to Bai Wuxian. She squatted dejectedly on the roof of the Golden Flower Pavilion as the snow continued to fall. Not long later, his body was covered with a thick layer of snow.

After a while, a voice came from behind her. "Princess, what are you doing squatting here?"

Qiao Liangjin was startled. She turned around and saw Lu Li in black clothes squatting not far behind him. She asked in surprise, "When did you come?"

"I was here before you." Lu Li forced a smile.

"Then what are you doing here? Could it be that you're lying there, preparing to peek at me taking a bath? " Qiao Liangjin said as she looked at Lu Li vigilantly.

"…" The woman in front of him was as sad as a river last night, but now she looked like she was on stimulants, which made it difficult for Lu Li to adapt.

"You should hurry up and go to sleep. Tomorrow, you should go with me to the Southern Kingdom." Qiao Liangjin stood up and slowly walked towards the eaves.

"Miss Qiao, are you really sure that the prince is still alive?" Lu Li asked the question that was on his mind.

Qiao Liangjin's footsteps stopped. She looked at the lantern under the eaves. She didn't know what the answer was, but she was willing to give it a try.

She turned around and flew down from the roof. She shouted towards the sky, "Trust me, Uncle Lu Li!"

The sky was still dark when Qiao Liangjin led the four of them onto the horse. She looked deeply at the door of the Prime Minister's Residence for a moment before viciously riding her horse. Taking advantage of the night, they quickly left the Royal City.

On the mountainside outside King's City, a pure black horse was slowly circling around. Unexpectedly, what was on it was a black coloured speck of dust.

Qiao Liangjin stopped her horse and looked at the red dust.

Red Dust looked at Qiao Liangjin and raised his horsewhip, saying coldly, "What are you looking at, the journey is more important." The horsewhip landed on the black horse's butt, and the black horse galloped ahead.

Qiao Liangjin smiled and raised her horsewhip as well, chasing after Hong Chen.

Along the way, they arrived at a relay station late into the night. Qiao Liangjin brought Yu Sheng and Zi Yan to sleep in a single room.

Zi Yan was preparing to sleep with Qiao Liangjin, but Qiao Liangjin pushed her hand away and gently shook her head, "It's been hard on you too, don't worry about me."

Zi Yan immediately turned around and made the bed. She placed the clean bed sheets on top of the bed and went to the other bed. She put on her clothes and lay down. Not long later, she heard light snoring sounds.

Qiao Liangjin also felt a slight pain in his thigh. After rubbing it, she stretched lazily on the bed and fell asleep while hugging Yu Sheng.

The conditions of this inn were not as good as the inn. After a night of sleep, Qiao Liangjin actually felt that her nose wasn't able to breathe well.

Zi Yan was the one who understood Qiao Liangjin the most. Hearing Qiao Liangjin's nasal tone, she nervously asked, "Miss, are you suffering from a cold?"

Qiao Liangjin sniffed and laughed: "I have no choice, I can carry it on myself."

After breakfast, they went back onto the road.

After the afternoon had passed, Qiao Liangjin felt a little dizzy. She raised the back of her hand and touched her forehead. It seemed as if she was burning up. She grudgingly cursed a few times.

Taking advantage of everyone's rest time, Qiao Liangjin found the cold pill that she had brought for her from her bag and ate it in a few bites.

"What?" Have you caught a cold? " Red Dust's voice came from behind her.

Qiao Liangjin quickly stuffed the medicine bottle back into her bag. She turned around and smiled. "Hongchen, why are you suddenly so concerned about others?"

Hong Chen stared blankly for a moment and then sneered, "I'm afraid that you will die from illness before you find me. I can't explain it."

Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes at the sky. The venomous tongue of the mortal world had its own style. She waved her hand and giggled, "I won't die even if you die. Don't worry."

Red Dust tossed over a random medicine bottle. Qiao Liangjin caught it and asked, "What?"

Eat it. There is a village 50 miles away. When we arrive, we will stay there. We will not leave tomorrow. Hong Chen impatiently explained.

Qiao Liangjin laughed and silently cursed in her heart. In the end, she opened the bottle and took out a pill. She then placed it in her mouth.

The moment the black pill entered her mouth, it was incomparably refreshing, as if it had already turned into water and flowed down her throat and into her stomach. In that instant, Qiao Liangjin felt as if her spleen and stomach were incomparably cool.

When they arrived at the village mentioned by Red Dust, there was no one in the village. Red Dust led the horse to the tallest door in the village and entered as if he was very familiar with the place. He tied the horse in the yard and said, "All the people here have died, but this house is quite sturdy. It hasn't collapsed in so many years."

"So many years …" Qiao Liangjin silently repeated as she followed Hong Chen into the yard.

Red Dust's ears were sharp and he heard Qiao Liangjin's words. With a quick glance, he walked straight into the room.

Qiao Liangjin tied up her horse and followed him into the room. There were three rooms in total, with a large stove in the middle of the room. On both sides of the room were bedrooms.

Qiao Linjian Jin entered the east room and saw that the bed was a bit worn out and there was a faint musty smell coming from it.

In the middle room, Ah Bai and Ah Kuan were already cleaning the stove and preparing to light a fire.

After the fire was lit, Zi Yan said in surprise, "So this house is a fire kang. That's great. Miss can sweat properly tonight, and you can get better soon due to the cold."

The purple smoke collected the worn-out bedding and placed it in the middle of the room. Then, it spread the thin blanket over the already warm fire brick bed, insisting that Qiao Liangjin lay down.

As soon as Qiao Liangjin's body touched the fire brick bed, her entire body relaxed. Not long later, she fell into a deep sleep. In her dreams, she could vaguely feel someone touching her forehead while someone used a cold fingertip to feel his pulse.

She didn't know how long she slept until someone gently shook her arm. Only then did she open her eyes. She looked at the worried Zi Yan and smiled. "I slept for a long time."

Zi Yan nodded worriedly. She pointed outside the window and said, "Miss, you slept for two days."

Qiao Liangjin was surprised and hurriedly sat up. As she put on her shoes, she grumbled: "Why didn't you wake me up? "We were delayed for two days."
