C221 The Two Princesses Are at War

Qu Ling was startled, his gaze landed on the hairpin, and muttered: "No wonder the hairpin looks so fat, it's actually because there's something inside."

She had been wearing this hairpin because she didn't want to bring it with her. One reason was because she was afraid that if she wasn't careful enough, she would lose it. The other reason was because it was too 'fat.'

The hairpin used by the daughters of the kingdom of prayer was not thin and long, and the serpent hairpin her mother had left her was short and fat.

If not for the fact that the hairpin was shaped like a snake and looked very different from the rest, she wouldn't have thought it was beautiful at all.

Xiao Jingyue lightly tapped his index finger on the table, "Eat breakfast first."

Qu Ling glanced at him, then pointed to the sky outside the window and corrected him, "This is lunch."

She slept all the way until noon. Was this still called breakfast?

Qu Ling chewed on the bun in one hand and picked up the snake hairpin with the other to study it, "I can't see what mechanism is there, do you want to smash it?"

This hairpin had been by her side for so many years that she was extremely familiar with it, but she had never discovered anything special about it.

Xiao Jingyue took the hairpin and raised his voice a little: "Xiao San."

"Your subordinate is here." Xiao San jumped in from outside the window.

Murong Yan looked at him, thinking to find some people to strengthen the defense of the South Wind House.

Otherwise, who would be able to enter and exit freely and treat this place like it was nothing?

Xiao Jingyue handed the hairpin over to Xiao San and Xiao San took it. After observing it for a bit, he returned the hairpin to Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao San said: "We did not discover any traps, even if there was anything inside, I'm afraid it would have been sealed."

If it really was sealed, then this hairpin was most likely forged for the sake of hiding that sort of thing from the very beginning.

Qu Ling held the bowl that was bigger than his own face and drank all of the white porridge in one go. He put the bowl down, clicked his tongue, and said: "Since it's sealed, then let's smash it!"

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows, "This is what your mother left for you."

Qu Ling said: "Aren't you the 'thing' my mother left me? It's enough for me to have you."

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows even higher, as a smile appeared in his eyes.

If there wasn't anyone else present, he would definitely hug her and give her a big kiss.

Murong Yan moved her gaze away, covering her lips and coughed lightly, then interrupted their loving looks: "What if I destroy the hairpin, and there's nothing inside?"

Qu Ling wanted to say that he didn't have it, so he didn't. Murong Yan turned around and said, "Is it possible that this hairpin is actually an item similar to a 'key', that can open a certain place?"

As he spoke, he took the hairpin from Xiao Jingyue and passed the end of the hairpin to the two of them.

At the end of the hairpin, there were a few concave areas which were very small. If one did not look carefully, it was very easy to miss them.

Qu Ling nodded, "That's possible."

However, Xiao Jingyue said: "Why would it be hard? Before we destroy it, we can just make ten or eight of them exactly the same."

Finally, she looked at Qu Ling with a meaningful smile: "Didn't madam just go to the Treasure Pavilion to fight before?"

Qu Ling, "..."

It was an old story, and he still wanted to bring it up!

Murong Yan placed the hairpin back onto the table, and said with a smile: "If my movements were a little faster, maybe I could have given one to the person last night."

In any case, it wasn't some special kind of hairpin. As long as he found a skilled master and made the hairpin older, he would definitely be able to make it look fake.

Qu Ling laughed as his eyes curved, "We'll do as Murong says!"

As a result, not only did he not need to hand over the hairpin, but he also had a tree branch.

After finalizing it, he would do it immediately.

The hairpin was given to Murong Yan, who would look for the blacksmith.

Xiao Jingyue instructed Xiao Er and Xiao San to investigate the location of the middle-aged man's residence.

Qu Ling thought for a while, then said: "Let Jiang Huo and Ah Xin go look for it too."

Although the two kids were young, they were smart and familiar with the capital city.

Xiao Jingyue looked at Xiao Yi, "You follow me."

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

After they had left, Xiao Jingyue turned around and asked Qu Ling, "Do you want to regain your General Mansion?"

Qu Ling shook his head, "I will stay here and wait for them to come back."

Xiao Jingyue didn't say anything else and didn't go elsewhere either. He stayed here and waited with Qu Ling.

In this period of time, Xiao Jingyue had told Qu Ling everything that he knew about the past.

When he heard that the owner of the cave was his mother, who was also his senior brother, Qu Ling did not feel too surprised.

Xiao Jingyue did not expect Qu Ling to hide something from him, he raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when Duan Li's voice suddenly came from outside.

Duan Li said: "General Xiao, there are people outside looking for him. That person claims to be the General Mansion's guard."

Xiao Jingyue and Qu Ling looked at each other, then Qu Ling said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Due to their identities, it wasn't convenient for the two of them to appear in the South Wind House hall, so Duan Li had the guard brought to the rear courtyard.

When the guard saw Xiao Jingyue and Qu Ling, he immediately said, "General, Madam, Princess Dongsheng has called for General Mansion and wants to see the General. She even said that she won't leave until she sees him again."

Qu Ling said expressionlessly: "You don't have to tell her where the general has gone.

The guard looked at Xiao Jingyue with an inquiring gaze, and Xiao Jingyue said indifferently: "This general will listen to Madam."

Thus, the guard did not say anything, bowed to the two before leaving.

Qu Ling turned around, and forcefully poked Xiao Jingyue in the chest, gnashing his teeth: "You're not allowed to see her again!"

Xiao Jingyue held her hand with a smile, placed it next to his lips and kissed it, then said softly: "Mn, your husband will listen to Mistress, I won't see you."

Even so, Qu Ling was still a little angry.

This one's gone, this one's coming again. Why is it that both of them have their eyes on her man?!

When Xiao Jingyue saw her sulking, he felt it was funny. He gently pulled her into his embrace and said, "After I return to the Southern Guarding Prince Palace, I was imprisoned in my room by Madam day and night."

How could Qu Ling not understand the meaning behind his words? With a reddened face, she muttered: "Who wants to be locked up with you in your room day and night!"

All day long, you have no sense of decency in your head!

Xiao Jingyue was about to tease her a little more when the guard who left earlier ran back over again.

This time, Duan Li didn't stop him and directly let him in.

Xiao Jingyue unhappily wrinkled his brows, and asked coldly: "What is it?

The guard was so scared that his entire body trembled and he almost kneeled down. "General …" Eleventh Princess... And the Princess of the East China Sea … There was a fight at the entrance of the mansion. "

Mentioning the Eleventh Princess, Qu Ling suddenly remembered something.

If Xiao Jingyue was really the emperor's child, then Eleventh Princess would still be Xiao Jingyue's little sister.

No wonder Eleventh Princess looked so sad that night.

If he fell in love with his brother, how could he not feel sad?

A hint of disgust flashed past Xiao Jingyue's eyes, and he said coldly: "Directly kick him out."

"Don't, those two are princesses of both nations after all, and they're already fighting at the General Mansion's gate. As masters of the General Mansion, we can't just ignore them."

As Qu Ling said this, he pulled Xiao Jingyue along to the back door.

Xiao Jingyue was a little helpless. Just a moment ago, she said that she would not let him see the princess of the Eastern Ocean, but now, she took the initiative to take him in.

As he was walking out of the back door of the South Wind House, Qu Ling suddenly said excitedly: "I like to see dogs biting dogs and stuff."

The guard following behind her "…"

Those two are princesses of both countries, ma'am, can you be so serious?
