C136 Contention

Qiao Liangjin spread out his hands, still smiling as before, and said: "Then I'll go alone. Let my guards and maids stay here."

The captain hesitated for a moment before he nodded and gestured, "Please."

Qiao Liangjin put his hands behind his back and walked out of King Ning's Mansion with an indifferent look on his face.

By the time Ning Xi had gotten the news, Qiao Liangjin was already locked up in Star Seizer Pavilion.

Ning Ying didn't even have time to change into his official robe before he went to the imperial study. When Southern Emperor Nanyang saw Ning Ying enter, he put down the memorial in his hand and said with a smile, "Ying'er is here."

Ning Ying hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Nanyang hurriedly went forward to help Ning Ying up and said, "I wanted to call you into the palace to begin with, but you didn't want to come. I've already ordered people to take Qiao Liangjin away from your mansion."

Ning Ying didn't think that Nan Yang would actually bring up this matter himself. He hurriedly bowed again, but was firmly stopped by Nan Yang.

Ning Xi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as she replied, "Your Majesty, Miss Qiao is a patient of this humble subject's. Her body is not fully recovered yet, and there's no one left to look after her in this palace. This humble subject is very worried …"

Nan Yang seemed to have considered everything as he smiled and said, "I know that you like this woman, but you should know the situation in the Southern Kingdom better than anyone else. I think that all the hope for saving the Southern Kingdom lies with this woman."

"But Your Majesty, she is just a weak girl. What can she do? Even if she is the daughter of Prime Minister Qiao, Prime Minister Qiao will definitely abandon her in front of the country's justice. Your Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for a woman? "

Nan Yang listened to Ning Ying's words quietly, and his originally smiling face disappeared. Replacing it was a serious expression, which was filled with disbelief as he looked at Ning Ying, "You're done speaking? Ning Xi, you must know that you are a subject of our Southern Kingdom. "

Ning Ying hurriedly got down on one knee and apologized, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Don't say anything else for now. We've already brought her into the palace, so it's useless for you to say anything more. I didn't say that we wouldn't allow you to meet. You can go see her and treat her."

When Nan Yang finished speaking, he went straight to the memorial and no longer raised his head to look at him.

Ning Ying kneeled down for a long time. When he realized that Nan Yang would not retreat, he could only bow and slowly withdraw from the imperial study.

Ning Xi followed the steward to Star Seizer Pavilion. The instant the servant girl pushed open the door, he saw a scene that he might never be able to forget in his entire life.

Qiao Liangjin danced under the blooming magnolia tree. The magnolia flower slowly descended from the sky, landing on her hair. It landed on her shoulders, dancing along with her as she did so.

Qiao Liangjin raised his eyes and saw that Ning Ying had arrived. He didn't stop dancing, and just performed a dance as if no one else was present. When he finished, he leaned against the trunk of the Yulan tree and waved towards Ning Ying.

Only then did Ning Xi regain her composure and slowly walked towards Qiao Liangjin. She looked at Qiao Liangjin with concern and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know …"

Qiao Liangjin didn't mind at all as he waved his hand at the ladies by the side. He smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm hungry and would like to eat something."

The palace maids continuously scanned Ning Xi, their faces flushing red. They didn't hear Qiao Liangjin's words at all.

It wasn't until Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and repeated himself, that the palace maids covered their faces and saluted. Like rabbits, they hurriedly left the courtyard.

Ning Ying's gaze fell only on this woman who was as calm as a lotus. She said that she would be leaving the Southern Kingdom after seven days, and now that she was trapped in this palace, her expression was so indifferent and elegant, as if she didn't care about her own situation.

Qiao Liangjin noticed Ning Xi's worried gaze and greeted his gaze with a shallow smile. "What happened?"

"Yesterday, you said that you would definitely leave the Southern Kingdom."

"That's only natural. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do." She turned around and sat on the swing tied to the magnolia tree, gently swinging it.

Looking at the magnolia orchids drifting in the air, Qiao Liangjin smiled and said, "Star Seizer Pavilion, I remember I've seen it in a movie before, and now I can live here with no honor. What an honor it is for me to be able to live here."

Ning Xi stood silently by the side of the swing, knowing that she was once again unable to understand the situation.

The two remained silent until lunch was ready. Qiao Liangjin invited Ning Xi to have a meal with him.

Those palace maids were still looking at Ning Xi with their radiant eyes. Qiao Liangjin felt as if he couldn't eat anymore. These women, had they never seen a man in their entire lives before?

However, when they thought about it, they felt that it made sense. In this deep palace, other than that dog-emperor, the only other people they could see were a few princes and this gentle Ning Wang. Thinking of the term 'dog-emperor', Qiao Liangjin cursed silently. 'dog-emperor', all emperors in this world were dog-kind. They would always bite each other whenever they wanted to.

Thinking up to this point, he actually chuckled a few times. Ning Ying looked up at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment, then lowered her head and started to eat.

Qiao Liangjin put down his chopsticks and said, "What did you do for me? Why do I have no impression of clearing this man up? According to what Hong Chen said, I came to find him, but I can't even remember what he looks like right now. "

Hearing Qiao Liangjin's question, Ning Xi paused for a moment. Then, she sighed and put down her chopsticks. She looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked seriously, "Do you think he's very good?"

"I don't know, because I have no impression of him." Qiao Liangjin replied in surprise.

"Clearing up is not suitable for you. He will make you suffer. I presume the Prime Minister has also talked to you. Only by following me can you guarantee the safety of the Qiao family." Ning Ying thought about it and decided to be frank.

Qiao Liangjin did not interrupt Ning Xian, indicating for him to continue speaking.

"Su Shun's fear of your father can be seen from this loan. If nothing unexpected happens and this war is resolved, then Su Shun will have to make a move against your father."

"So, do you think I am the one who would watch helplessly as he attacks himself? How could a smart person like you not understand? I am just a mere little girl, not to mention, there are still many children of the Qiao Family in the house. I don't have much, not much, not even one less. "

Ning Xi squinted at Qiao Liangjin. She spoke so indifferently, so naturally, so naturally. She was not born to be a chess piece on the board, and no one could use her.

Under the noon sun, Qiao Liangjin's skin was as white as jade, faintly glowing. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up into a smile. It was ice-cold, containing a hint of ridicule and a hint of silence. It was Qiao Liangjin, whom he had never seen before.

She had never smiled like this before. The scene of the two of them drinking wine and watching the shooting stars together flashed through her mind. However, at that time, her smile was filled with warmth.

Ning Ying's fingers suddenly trembled twice. He suddenly felt that he had done something wrong. He sealed off his memory of clearing up, yet he did not take her away at the first moment.

Qiao Liangjin's sparkling eyes swept over Ning Xi. The smile on his lips did not fade, "Prince Ning, please go back. Qiao Liangjin thanks you for saving his life, and also thanks you for treating Qiao Liangjin so well. For the sake of the past, Qiao Liangjin will not make things difficult for the Prince. "

With that, he got up and waited respectfully for Ning Xi to get up.

He heard the sigh from the bottom of his heart, and could only stand up slowly. He placed the bottle on the table and said, "Twice a day, this is the weight of three days, after eating it, everything will be fine. Sky heat, you have to drink more, the remaining poison will be expelled along with the sweat."

Qiao Liangjin simply kept his head hooked and persisted in his blessings. Even after he said so much, she still did not raise her head.

Ning Ying sighed, gave Qiao Liangjin a deep look, and left the Star Seizer Pavilion.

Qiao Liangjin was lucky enough to not hear Qiao Liangjin's footsteps before she stood up and gazed at the backs of the palace maids with infatuation. She rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you like the most handsome and elegant Prince Ning of your Southern Kingdom?"

When the palace maids saw that Qiao Liangjin was neither warm nor cold to Ning Ying, they initially thought that she did not know how to appreciate favors and wanted to embarrass her a little. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to discuss Ning Ying with them and happily forgot about their previous grudges.

"That's right, Miss Qiao. You don't know that Prince Ning is the most popular man in our Southern Kingdom. There are many girls who want to marry him." One of them was wearing a yellow palace uniform and had a round face that was filled with yearning as she spoke.

"The young lady from the Prime Minister's residence hanged herself for the sake of Prince Ning. She was trying to scare the Prime Minister, but who would've thought that no one would find out that she died after stealing from him? What a pity …"

"That's right, that's right. And that Imperial Physician Wang's daughter, she actually broke her own arm in order to compare notes with Ning Ying …"

When Qiao Liangjin heard how vicious the Southern Goblin Tribe's women were to him, cold sweat instantly broke out on her back. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and laughed dryly, "You guys …. The people's style is really … "It's open." In her heart, she thought, if she did these things, she wouldn't be able to do it. At most, she would feel disgusted, but she would definitely cherish him.

As Qiao Liangjin listened to the palace maids chattering on, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Actually, Ning Gun, he doesn't like noblemen or noblemen. He likes unique and unique women."

The palace maids looked at each other, then the round-faced palace maid hurriedly asked: "What kind of maverick would that be? Miss Qiao, look at us, we are only palace maids … "We don't have that high of a chance …"

Qiao Liangjin raised his index finger and shook it: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, don't think that you can reach higher heights, as long as it's someone you like, you can do anything you want. Do as I say, believe me, he will definitely look at you a few more times."
