The next day.

Ruoyan came over early in the morning and knocked on the door, saying that the imperial edict was coming from the palace, so she asked her to clean up quickly and go out to receive the edict.

It was said that it was early in the morning, but in fact it was already midnight. Even Qiao Juncheng had already returned from the morning court.

In the hall, the head of the Xiangye Qiao was talking to the eunuch near the emperor, with a faint sad look in his eyebrows. He probably had heard of some wind and saw Xing Lian coming, and immediately waved to her to come over quickly.

Xing Lian was silent all the way, his eyes swept across Nangong Ru's pale face, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he slowly looked at the little eunuch again.

"Qiao Xingyi received the order..." The long tail sound fell, and everyone in the hall knelt all over the ground, but she was still standing quietly, her thin body straight, and she didn't seem to be planning to salute.

"This... Miss Qiao, are you accepting the order?" The eunuch was stunned for a moment, quickly reminded him, and looked at Qiao Juncheng in embarrassment.

Xing Lian still stood still and said in a low voice, "Just just read yours. The emperor can definitely understand that my daughter is not feeling well."

This sentence means that Qiao Juncheng is holding back his words that he originally wanted to persuade her. The next moment, Xing Lian sits carelessly on the main seat where Nangong Ru is sitting and pours a cup of tea himself.

She is very unhappy now, so if someone wants to make her even more unhappy, then she will probably make everyone unhappy.

The eunuch stood in awkwardly, and wanted to say something. Qiao Juncheng took out a golden object from his cuff, stuffed it into his hand, and said softly, "Goodbye, please forgive me."

Xiao Jingzi is a personal genius. He has been with the emperor for many years. He has recognized people's faces and changed his mind when he sees the wind. This trick is no longer a problem. Moreover, the person sitting in the seat in front of him is likely to be the concubine of the most famous prince in Pingling Kingdom. He would not dare to go against the Ninth Prince if he gives him a hundred courage! Besides, it is also beneficial, and the fool is so serious...

After a gentle voice, he finished reading the imperial edict and personally helped Qiao Juncheng up, then smiled with a shy face: "Then, Miss Qiao will come to the palace with her servants?"

Xing Lian responded softly, put down the teacup, stood up from his seat, and did not look at the people standing in the hall, and walked out of the room first.

"Swish, she really thought she was the ninth princess. Madam, she looked so arrogant..."

A light voice sounded from Nangong Ru. Xing Lian stopped and looked at him slightly. He immediately recognized the maid Ruiliu, who was supporting Nangong Ru.

Speaking of this, Rui Liu is also a capable maid. She has been a friend of Nangong Ru and Lang Fei for a while. She is also the maid who speaks in Qiao's mansion. She has been taken into the mansion since she was a child and is deeply loved by the two wives.

A smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, with a little chill, and he didn't even move. Before he even turned around, he saw a gust of wind on the ground, hitting Ruiliu's chest hard.

"Ah--!" A whispering cry sounded in the hall, and the next few other maids were panicked, "Rui Liu!"

Xing Lian snorted lightly, raised his foot again, and strode out of Qiao's mansion.

Although Xiaobai's strength just now did not take her life, he would have to live on his own for about the rest of his life. I wonder if the master she has always treated her sincerely will support her for the rest of her life.
