C26 Replacing Oneself

"I'll give you a pot of wine and Soul Tea. There will be a day when you'll thank me." Ning Xian placed a jade gourd on the long corridor and disappeared.

After clearing the area with his tail, Ji Hao lightly walked up to the jade bottle gourd, used his claws to open the bottle gourd's mouth and took a sniff.

The smell of fresh grass assaulted his nostrils. He suddenly felt dizzy.

He entered the bedroom with the jade gourd in his mouth and hid it under the bed. He could barely hold on to his sleepiness.

It had been a long time since a fox had slept like this.

Su Bai slept for a long time, as if he had slept for three days and three nights.

He leisurely opened his eyes, and the image of Hong Liang's face was imprinted into his eyes.

Why was it Hong Liang?

"Seventh Prince, it's time to go to court. Hurry up and get up."

Su Bai quickly stood up and checked his body. He was no longer a fox, he was no longer a fox! He finally returned to his body.

However, an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

It should have been something joyful, but why was he so disappointed?

"Prince?" Red reminded him sincerely.

"Change." Su Qing sighed slightly.

Every time, he would appear at the door in a strange way, but Qiao Liangjin, who had been accompanying him all this time, did not appear.

He knew that she had been poisoned and that her eyes were not too good. However, when the figure that pestered him everyday did not appear, there was a dejected look in his eyes.

When he saw Qiao Zheng at the entrance, his clean footsteps quickened as he walked over to Qiao Zheng's side.

Qiao Zheng was a little surprised that the usually cold Seventh Prince was actually smiling at him today. He almost thought that he had not tidied up his clothes when he went out in the morning.

"Prime Minister Qiao." Su Qingqing cupped her hands together.

Qiao Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, his heart was no longer as shocked as it was before. These days, the strange Seventh Marquis seemed to have disappeared again.

For a period of time, he saw that Su Hao was covered in cold sweat. Every time he saw Su Hao, he would pester him to bring Qiao Liangjin home. He had to do everything possible to deal with him.

Right now, a courteous Seventh Marquis, who had clear and bright eyes, was standing next to him. It seemed like he was no longer the same person as a few days ago.

"Seventh Prince, you're too polite. This humble subject can't afford it." Qiao Zheng maintained his composure and put some distance between them.

How could they, who were so clever, not have noticed Qiao Zheng's actions?

He awkwardly coughed twice and smiled, "Prime Minister Qiao, after you."

Originally, he wanted to ask Qiao Liangjin about his situation, but there were too many people and it was not appropriate. He could only swallow his greetings.

The morning assembly had ended and they were once again unconsciously closing in on Qiao Zheng.

Qiao Zheng, on the other hand, had a cautious look on his face as if waiting for him to speak before rejecting him.

Su Qing touched the tip of his nose and suddenly self-deprecatingly grinned. Since when did he learn this small action of hers?

Just as he arrived at the palace gates, a yellow-clothed eunuch hurriedly ran over and stopped him in his tracks.

"Seventh Prince, His Majesty invites you in."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head and cupped her hands towards Qiao Zheng before following the young eunuch out.

Qiao Zheng looked at the clean back and shook his head. "There are so many weirdos this year."

Within the imperial study.

Emperor Su Shun had already changed out of his dragon robe and laid out the chessboard.

Seeing Su Chen come in, he waved his hand.

Su Chen did not say anything. He sat opposite Su Shun.

"Linglong Game?" He cleared his throat and looked at the chessboard carefully.

Su Shun nodded. Time didn't seem to have left any mark on this man's face. Although he was 16 years older than Su Ming, the two of them looked no older than 5 or 6 years old as they sat face to face.

Huaixin, his personal eunuch, brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Su Chen. He then quietly left the room.

Su Shun picked up the white jade flag and gently placed it on the board. "Qing Er, you are already at the age of marriage. Looking at the board game today, I'm sure you understand my feelings, right?"

Su Ling then placed the black agate chess piece in front of Bai Yu as if she did not hear anything. She did not say anything and just made a "please" gesture.

Su Shun knocked on the door. He looked serious and sighed. He knew that the other party was rejecting him, so he could only give up.

After finishing his game of chess, he cleared his body and bowed. It seemed that he was unwilling to say even a single superfluous word.

Su Shun stopped Su Qing and laughed, "What, big brother said you have to live your entire life and you want to resist like this? You want to leave the palace? Not going to see Mother? "

Su Bai then looked up and smiled. "Ok."

Words are like gold.

Just as they arrived at the empress dowager's Wan Yan Palace, they heard the sound of a zither being played from within the sleeping quarters.

Su Qingqing frowned and was about to turn around and leave when she heard the messenger eunuch from Wan Yan Palace open the door.

In a dilemma, he could only lift his leg and enter the sleeping quarters.

Right now, the empress dowager was leaning against the beauty couch as two palace maids massaged her calf.

He was about to kneel down and pay his respects when the empress dowager waved him over with a smile. "Forget it, whatever bow you make, you rarely come to the palace to accompany This Dowager."

She cleared her throat with an apologetic smile and sat down by the empress dowager's side. He gently hammered her calf and said with a smile, "Imperial Mother is blaming me for this."

"Look at Linglong, this child. She is very considerate, and would even accompany me when she has nothing else to do. "But that damned girl Jin'er, I haven't seen her for almost three months. How is it? Is she still chasing you like that?"

The empress dowager had an excited expression, but thought of the woman who blew a kiss in front of everyone and despised her behind her back.

The corner of his lips curled up, "Muhou, if there's a chance, I will definitely inform Jin`er."

Whoosh. The zither string, which was originally fine, suddenly snapped.

Yu Ling cried out in alarm and gripped her fingers.

Clearing his eyes, he saw that Yu Linglong's fingers had been cut by a broken string. A few drops of blood dripped onto the white marble floor. He frowned slightly.

There was no one in Xuanyuan Empire who did not know that Su Qing Qing was a clean freak.

As soon as the empress dowager saw Qing Feng's expression change, she waved her hand and had Yu Linglong quickly wrapped up in bandages. One of the palace maids supported Yu Linglong out of Wan Yan Palace while the other quickly used water to wipe away the blood on the ground.

He thought of that evening, the sinister Yu Linglong's face, as if the air here was filled with the smell of her dirty blood.

She had originally wanted to stay by the empress dowager's side for a meal, but now she no longer had any interest in doing so.

The empress dowager persuaded him to stay for a while. Seeing that his mood wasn't too good because of Yu Linglong, she knew his obsession with cleanliness. She didn't stop him and asked the palace maid to send him out.

When they were almost to the entrance of the palace, Su Qing heard a voice that sounded like an oriole behind them. "Seventh Prince."

Su Ming frowned and turned around. He did not reply.

Yu Linglong rushed to the front of Su Qingqing, drenched in sweat. If it was any other man, he would have long supported her.

However, the man in front of her seemed to somewhat dislike her.

Yu Linglong was stunned. She thought about what she had done in her mind. No matter what she had done, it was watertight, so how could she clear her expression?

"Seventh Prince, I'm sorry." Yu Linglong carefully raised her injured finger and saluted.

He wanted to use this method to gain attention.

Su Ming's brow was still furrowed as he nodded. He then turned around and quickly left.

Leaving Yu Linglong to stand awkwardly at the palace door.

The servant girl, Ru Xue, supported Yu Linglong. She gazed at the receding figure and softly said, "Princess, let's go."

Yu Linglong did not even think before slapping him and said bitterly, "Do I need you to tell me?" With that, he raised his head and strode towards the entrance of the palace.

Lu Li sat in the carriage, listening to the guard outside the window reporting what had happened.

He gently caressed the goose-fat jade pendant in his hand. Then he smiled, "Send a few more people to protect Miss Qiao Liangjin."

Lu Li, who was standing outside the carriage, seemed to hesitate. He paused and said, "If Master Qiao finds out, do you think …"

Su Bai touched the tip of his nose and thought for a while before replying, "Sooner or later, there will be suspicions. You guys be careful. Qiao Liangjin is not that easy to deal with, don't get yourself involved."

Lu Li had a bitter face, as if he didn't want to go at all. He had long heard of this female pervert's reputation. He was not afraid of anything else, only that his few guards would be stripped naked and bullied.

The clear voice paused for a moment, and then gently rose: "Hmm? Do you want to go to the garrison? Or do you want to raise pigs? "

Lu Li immediately accepted the order and left.

Qiao Liangjin discovered that the little fox had suddenly turned shameless. Everyday, they were crying, rolling around, eating meat, and even rubbing their stomachs.

She stroked the little fox's fur and bared her teeth. "Are you also a fox with a double fox set?"

What was a double fox? The little fox, Yu Sheng was baffled.

After being called by a group of people for several days, Seventh Prince had almost gone crazy. Although there was good food, he didn't have a big tail, so he couldn't sleep with his beloved mistress for a few days.

The little fox rolled its eyes and decided not to tell this girl. After all, she was not like a normal person.

Thinking of this, it decided to treat this matter as a secret.

Qiao Liangjin's eyes gradually regained their sight.

However, every time she stared at the fox in her arms, she would no longer be able to see the depressed, nervous, and worried look in her eyes. She even wondered if she was hallucinating.

Ye Zichen shook his head, he must have been dumb, did he have to have a love across species?

This, in this case, would be the headline: — Mistress falls in love with her own fox; the story that has to be told between the fox and me; the horror of the world, that love transcends everything!

Qiao Liangjin grinned as he thought about it.

Why didn't he create a gossip magazine? According to the blueprints in his mind, gossip magazines must be extremely popular. For hundreds of thousands of years, the people had been interested in the Eastern Family's short term.

Ye Zichen stretched lazily and crooked his finger at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan smiled. "Miss, shouldn't you prepare yourself for a good deed every day?"

Qiao Liangjin nodded and sat in front of the dressing table.

"I, Qiao HanSan, am back!"

"What a dupe. Ladies and gentlemen, do you wish to hear about a story called 'Princess Yu'?"
