Accompanying the palace maids' cries of surprise, Eleventh Princess fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Even the stool behind her was knocked over.

Eighth Prince's face slightly changed. He walked over with large strides to help Eleventh Princess up, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Eleventh Princess was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses and started crying.

She was not crying because her back was hurting, but crying because she fell so miserably in front of General Xiao.

This time, the General Xiao had an even worse impression of her.

Xiao Jingyue did not look at Eleventh Princess, but walked to Qu Ling's side and asked softly: "Is Madame alright?"

Qu Ling raised his head and looked at him, then laughed somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm fine, it's her …"

She pointed to the Eleventh Princess.

He was just going to make the other party suffer a little, but he didn't expect that the other party would cry.

That's not funny.

Seeing that her sister could still howl so loudly, Eighth Prince heaved a sigh of relief.

He forcefully pulled her up, and apologetically said to Xiao Jingyue and Qu Ling: "I'm sorry I let you two down."

Qu Ling endured from saying "indeed quite funny" and pretended to look guilty, and spoke with a heavy voice: "No, I should be the one apologizing. If I hadn't suddenly let go of her hand, the princess wouldn't have fallen so miserably."

Eighth Prince: "..."

Eleventh Princess: "..."

Xiao Jingyue coughed lightly, he turned his head and looked away, hiding the corner of his lips.

"Qu Ling, I want to perish together with you!"

The Eleventh Princess screamed as he struggled free from the Eighth Prince and the palace maids' hands and pounced towards Qu Ling.

Eighth Prince's face suddenly changed, as he shouted in a low voice: "Yan Er!"

However, the Eleventh Princess who was so angry that his head almost fainted wanted to die together with Qu Ling, how could he listen to his words.

"Aiya, I'm so scared!"

Qu Ling hastily hid behind Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue expressionlessly lifted his eyes and looked coldly at Eleventh Princess.

In the end, Eleventh Princess didn't have the guts to directly crash into Xiao Jingyue's embrace.

Her eyes were red and she was still holding the painting that had been stolen. After closing her lips for a while, she suddenly asked, "Tomorrow, there will be a banquet at the palace. Will you be going?"

As his voice faded, the hall became so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard.

Eighth Prince had no choice but to hold his forehead, unable to bear looking straight at his back.

Xiao Jingyue did not answer.

Eleventh Princess looked at him with sparkling eyes, waiting for his reply.

Hiding behind Xiao Jingyue, Qu Ling suddenly extended her hand out, taking advantage of the Eleventh Princess's surprise, and snatched the painting from her hands.

"You!"

Eleventh Princess was about to flare up again, when he heard the man in front of him speak.

"Tomorrow, this general will bring Madame to the palace."

Hearing that he wanted to bring Qu Ling along, the Eleventh Princess boss unhappily curled his lips.

Then, he comforted himself with the thought that he should just bring them along. After all, it was better than not being able to come at all.

Thinking this, she was successfully comforted.

The tear-stained face finally revealed a smile.

Today, the General Mansion could not stay any longer. Eighth Prince secretly sighed, and took the chance to bid farewell to Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue had not even opened his mouth when he heard the lady behind him suddenly exclaiming.

Eleventh Princess's eyelids jumped, when he saw that Qu Ling's hand was already drawing, the anger he had temporarily been forgotten immediately rose.

"Yan'er!"

This time, the Eighth Prince caught him in time before he could fly into a rage.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Jingyue, he dragged Eleventh Princess out.

Xiao Jingyue naturally could not stay there and personally sent them out.

When he returned, he saw that Qu Ling was giggling at the drawing, he felt that it was kind of funny, "Has the Madam had enough fun?"

Last night, he was unable to take it anymore, so he ordered the Dark Guard to enter the palace to steal the painting that belonged to him in the Eleventh Princess's chamber.

Not thinking that just stealing the painting was not enough, Xiao Yi found a "Monkey Steals Peach" painting and ordered the Dark Guard to bring it to Eleventh Princess's chamber.

Qu Ling leapt in front of him and raised his head to look at him, then asked: "Did Eleventh Princess have a good life?"

Xiao Jingyue benevolently replied, "Not as beautiful as Madam."

"How do you know she's not as pretty as me? Are you looking at her?"

"…"

With such obvious pestering, any reply would seem stupid.

General Xiao immediately closed his mouth, and directly pulled her into his embrace, doing what he had always wanted to do.

Qu Ling leaned into his embrace meekly, not forgetting to continue the topic that he had not finished earlier, "You just said that if I'm really worried about Ning'er, what will happen tonight?"

Xiao Jingyue did not utter a word.

She raised her head, and said while beaming: "Let's go scout the Minister of War Palace at night tonight!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

As for Eighth Prince and Eleventh Princess, after the two of them left the General Mansion, the anger in their hearts had not yet subsided.

She had been played by Qu Ling, and now, her butt and back were still faintly hurting.

Eighth Prince looked at her indignant face and said lightly: "Did the Great Ying Temple not suffer enough in the past few months? Why are you always fighting with Qu Ling when you have nothing to do? "

Every time he saw her, he would make a ruckus. He had never taken advantage of her once, and yet she always liked to beat him to death by sending him to her doorstep.

He didn't know what to say to this little sister.

Eleventh Princess felt wronged and almost cried again. He shouted angrily, "Who is your sister?"

"Yes, you are my sister. You are not only my sister, you are also a princess."

Eighth Prince's mouth formed a ridiculing smile, "But what's the use of you being a princess? royal father would love you more because you are his biological daughter? "

Hearing this, Eleventh Princess thought about the past and his eyes immediately reddened.

"There is nothing more reliable than the power and money that you hold in your hands." After Eighth Prince finished speaking, he closed his eyes and ignored her.

Eleventh Princess understood what her brother meant, but she refused to accept it.

Because Qu Ling was unconvinced in being able to obtain Xiao Jingyue, and because his royal father was biased against Qu Ling.

If it were not for Qu Ling, how could she, her mother, her imperial concubine and her royal brother go to the Great Ying Temple for a few months?

She hatefully thought that one day, she would make Qu Ling kneel at her feet, making Qu Ling regret going against her all these years!

It was night. Beneath a wall in Minister of War Mansion.

Three men and women dressed in night attire stood facing each other, their eyes wide open.

General Xiao looked at the man in front of him, his expression extremely gloomy.

If he knew that this person would also come tonight, he would not have brought Qu Ling here, no matter what.

However, it was too late to say anything.

Because his wife was happy, happy to meet another man.

During the deadlock, Qu Ling suddenly pointed to the distance.

The two men understood immediately.

Xiao Jingyue moved extremely quickly as he embraced her and threw himself in the direction she pointed.

Murong Yan looked at his possessive look, shook his head and laughed, then followed him.

This place was a little far from the Minister Mansion, so their conversation here wouldn't disturb the manor's patrolling guards.

Murong Yan took off the black bandana on his face and cupped his hands with Xiao Jingyue: "General Xiao."

All three of them were wearing black scarves. If not for the fact that Qu Ling and Murong Yan recognized each other at first glance, they probably would have already started fighting.

When he thought about how his own wife was familiar with another man and how he could recognize them just by looking at their figure and eyes, General Xiao's expression turned even uglier, and he asked coldly: "I wonder why Second Young Master is visiting Minister of War's residence at night?"

Murong Yan glanced at Qu Ling, and seeing that she did not have any intention to let him hide anything, he explained, "A few days ago, Mrs. Xiao entrusted this commoner to search for Sky Frost Grass for her. After this commoner found out that Sky Frost Grass had fallen into Young Master Li's hands, he decided to come over tonight to investigate."

Xiao Jingyue sneered, "In that case, is the second young master here to steal something?"
