The sea breeze was extremely strong, causing the two people's long hair to be tangled together. Only after they got on the carriage did they realize that it was difficult to separate the entangled black hair.
Wife and Wife... Is that it?
Ling Qing was busy in the carriage again. She tidied up her hair and did not dare to pull on Tyrant. She could only pull on her own and slowly separate the two's long hair.
Ling Jingjing had been lying on the ground with her head turned to the side, silently watching as she tugged on their long hair. Her eyes were filled with gentleness and did not have a single trace of coldness.
Jing Prefecture was close to the East Sea. The merchants were abnormally prosperous, but many of the merchants were extremely bitter towards the pirates and the officials here. They had to pay a "protection fee" in order to be able to peacefully do business here.
Presently, the street was crowded with people rushing towards the city gate.
It had been three years, and they had not seen the officials behead the pirates. Everyone was used to the officials colluding with the sea bandits. They did not expect that they could still wait until daybreak.
"I heard it was the Fourth Marquis who came to supervise the execution."
"Will we never have to be bothered by pirates again?"
"Look, that's the Marquis from the capital."
"Tsk tsk, he's indeed extraordinary. He's a high official in the capital, the Lord Messenger of the Emperor …"
Everyone was discussing and gathering at the city gate. Looking at the temporarily erected execution platform, the white-clothed man sitting on it felt speechless.
The people from the capital were indeed impressive. Seated on the execution platform, they seemed to have frozen the aura around them, causing fear in the hearts of those who saw it.
Ling Tian Qing did not dare to go to the execution platform. Recently, she had been a little weak and could not bear to see the blood-red light.
She was also not allowed to leave the prefectural courtyard.
Ling Qing was in the courtyard, forced to take horse steps with Yan Yu and Xiao Han — that tyrant actually allowed her to train her waist strength.
She remembered that when she was in the forest, she didn't need to train her horse stance to run on the tree trunk as fast as she could. Her waist was very strong …
Only when she was ravaged by that tyrant would her waist and back be sore and her legs cramped up. She had no strength left at all.
After all, Tyrant's speed was too fast. It was like an electric pony. Who could stand up to it?
The prefectural courtyard was very quiet. As the wind blew, flowers of various colors bloomed, and the fragrance of the flowers assaulted one's senses.
Ling Tian stood in the courtyard, looking at the curtain of maids who were sweeping the floor. She had been with the curtain for over 30 months, so she was very clear about her actions.
In the eyes of outsiders, even if Yanyu was extremely meticulous, the curtain was merely a common maid sweeping the floor. There was nothing special about her expression and sweeping posture.
And in Ling Qing's eyes, the curtain was sweeping over Luo Hua, revealing a piece of information to her — leaving the prefecture courtyard tonight.
Wen Han told her to leave.
Ling Qing's mission was not completed yet, so why did Wen Han want her to leave?
At sunset tonight, there would be someone to pick her up. At sunset, they would go to the South Rain Pavilion, and at that time, there would naturally be someone to take her away.
Impossible, it was impossible for Ling Xuanxuan to have her be taken away here. Furthermore, if he were to be taken away, Wen Han would definitely be implicated.
She hesitated, but the curtain kept falling and told her not to be afraid.
Ling Tian Qing did not know that Wen Han had changed his mind. He did not want her to meet him again, and instead wanted her to use other methods to fight for the land.
Seeing the sun slowly moving to the west, Ling Tian became even more uneasy.
Before sunset, Lingshui had not yet returned.
Although Ling Xiang was not in the mansion today, in the Regional Palace, other than Lan Yi, two maids, and a few guards picked out from the palace, the guards along with the soldiers could still be considered to be on high alert.
It was almost sunset. Ling Qing was still hesitating in his heart, but his footsteps could not help but walk towards the South Rain Pavilion.
She was afraid of tyrants and wanted to get rid of them.
Since Wen Han had already arranged everything, she didn't need to think about those random things anymore. If he could leave, he could leave, so as to avoid messing up Wen Han's plan.
But... His departure in this way had messed up his plans.
Ling Tian saw the South Rain Pavilion in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Yan Yu and Xiao Han followed closely behind. Indeed, they were not one step behind. They even went to the toilet as well, afraid that the Queen would fall onto it and disappear.
Ling Qing's heart skipped a beat as he reached the South Rain Pavilion with another 18 steps.
Ling Tian Qing climbed up the stairs as Yanyu's eyes swept across them. She suddenly called out in surprise, "Senior Brother."
Ling Tian Qing looked to the left and saw that it was Mo Yang who was standing at the foot of the fake mountain, wearing a sword and a stern expression on his face.
Wasn't he ordered to investigate secretly? Why would he appear here?
Ling Tian Qing panicked. Mo Yang had appeared unexpectedly, it seemed like his plan was going to be thrown into chaos.
"Your subordinate pays his respects to the Queen." Mo Yang chased after him in a few steps and bowed.
"No …" No need to be polite, no need to be polite. " Ling Tian Qing looked at his attire carefully. It seemed that he had just returned from a trip and was not a spy from Jing Prefecture.
"Why is senior brother back now?" Yanyu asked excitedly. On the other hand, Xiao Han, who was usually generous and passionate, was blushing without saying a word.
"Yeah, why did you come back?" Ling Qing asked as well. His expression was a little unnatural. Even though he was speaking, his footsteps did not stop as he continued to walk towards the pavilion.
"In reply to the Empress, this is the royal order. From today onwards, your subordinate will only be responsible for protecting the Empress." Mo Yang had already handed over the rest of his work to Bai Yi. The reason he was transferred back was because Ling Chen was worried about Ling Qing's safety.
"Ugh …" You don't have to go through so much trouble, do you? " Ling Tian Qing squeezed out a smile, stood on the steps, and turned around saying, "Quickly go wash up and rest. Looking at how worn out you are, you must be tired, ah …" Xiao Han, take Mo Yang to eat and drink … "
"Empress, it should also be time for dinner." Yan Yu reminded him with a faint smile.
"I'm not very hungry today... "Just sit here for a while. You guys can go eat. Don't worry about me." Ling Tianqing said with a laugh.
"Then we'll accompany the Empress." Yan Yu said with a smile.
Ling Tian Qing knew that she could not transfer them away, and she was extremely frustrated. She paced back and forth between the pavilions, feeling that it was difficult to move.
Mo Yang suddenly charged back …
Wen Han's men were definitely not prepared for his return. Furthermore, Mo Yang's kung fu was high, and he was the most considerate person that Ling Xiang had met. If he were to fail, it would not be good for Ling Jin to be suspicious.
In any case, he still had a chance in the future. He couldn't afford to be mischievous.
Ling Tian Qing glanced at the pavilion before resolutely turning around, "Mo Yang, you must be hungry, right? Forget it, let's go eat with you. "
Just look at how competent she was as a leader. She couldn't bear to see her subordinates starve and took the initiative to be his mistress.
However, Xiao Han's expression was so strange today. Her head was drooping, her face was rosy red, and her eyes were like autumn water. She did not even greet the eldest senior brother …
As Ling Tian walked past her, Mo Yang suddenly glanced at the mute maid who was holding a broom.
"Eldest senior brother looks at other women." Yan Yu suddenly said in a low voice to whom she spoke.
They were women of the martial arts world who did not care about small matters. Furthermore, with the queen of aliens, their words were even more straightforward.
"Don't speak nonsense." Mo Yang's voice was deep, and it carried a trace of weariness. It was obvious that he had used up quite a lot of his mental energy to ride back to Jing Prefecture City so quickly.
"Mo Yang, who are you looking at?" He had been walking in front, but did not see Mo Yang look at the curtains. Hearing Yanyu's words, Ling Tian's heart tightened as he intentionally teased his.
Ling Tian Qing was still hiding something in his heart, afraid that the people around Ling Chen would see through it.
"That mute maid." Yan Yu took a quick step forward and said while turning her attention to Xiao Han.
Ling Tian Qing's eyes twitched when he heard that.
"The Empress's breathing is a bit unstable. Is she feeling unwell?" Mo Yang suddenly asked.
F * ck, with his back facing me, I can hear that there's something wrong with my breathing rhythm. This person is smart!
Ling Tian Qing smiled as he turned around. "I just want to see, Mo Yang, you're not young either. If you like any girl, I'll help you matchmaking."
"I dare not trouble Your Highness, this subordinate already has what I love in my heart." Mo Yang immediately said solemnly.
"Ah?" You already have someone you like in this wood? " Ling Tianqing glanced at Xiao Han, whose face was blushing red. She suddenly realized that their Senior Brothers and Sisters were a perfect pair.
She could only blame herself for thinking about how to deal with Ling Jing recently. Her brain had become stiff and sluggish, and she was unable to see that the two of them were together …
Walking into the garden, Ling Xuanxuan saw the three ladies and a man standing in the courtyard. He didn't know what the little girl was laughing about, but they were laughing merrily and there was no trace of restraint in their daughter's home.
However, in the last two days, it was rare to see her laughing this happily.
Mo Yang was the first to see Ling Xingran. Just as he was about to go forward and kneel, he was stopped by Ling Xiaoxiao's hand.
Ling Qing and Yanyu had their backs to the garden gate behind them as they continued to ruthlessly tease the number one guard beside the king. It was Xiao Han, who sometimes had a fiery temper but was now as gentle as water.
The sunset glow covered the sky, and at the entrance of the garden stood the young emperor. His eyes seemed to be tainted by the brilliance of the sunset as he gently stared at the tiny figure.
"Xiao Han, why didn't you call him eldest senior brother?" "Shouting and yelling, let's listen …"
Seeing that Xiao Han's face was about to bleed, Ling Tianqing could not help but laugh. Aiya, even a chivalrous girl with a great sword would act like this.
However, as Ling Qing smiled and saw Xiao Han and the rest looking behind him, he immediately felt that something was amiss.
She turned around, the smile on her face could not be retracted in time. When she saw the handsome man standing silently at the entrance of the garden, she immediately stopped laughing and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty …"
Ling Jin saw that her face originally had a smile on it, but when she saw him, her smile disappeared and was replaced with a trace of panic. Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
In the past two days, she treated herself differently from before.
When he saw himself, he immediately became more cautious. Even his smile disappeared, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
