Master Chitose gave Yun Ni the punishment of "promoting an official position and becoming a noble", which meant that she, a traitor who killed her comrades, stole tokens and rebelled against the Lord, would be tortured before she died.
Qin Yuchen's knife killed her, which meant that Yun Ni was relieved!
Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "After Qin Yuchen collects the corpse, he will be whipped a hundred times and removed from the post of guard chief!"
"Thank you, Master Qiansui!" Qin Yuchen closed his eyes and kowtowed deeply to thank him again.
Cang Qiao had a cold face, turned around and clasped Ming Lanruo's slender arm, and walked all the way back to the inner courtyard.
Walking on the corridor, both of them were silent.
"Why, are you not happy? Do you think Yun Ni died too easily?" After returning to the room, he spoke calmly.
Ming Lanruo raised her cold and bright eyes: "She deserves it, but Commander Qin is quite cruel."
Cang Qiao became interested, sat on the chair and pulled her into his arms: "Why, don't you think Qin Yuchen has a long-term affection for Yun Ni?"
A man would rather lose his job and be punished to end the pain of his old lover and let the other person pass away without being tortured. Whoever looks at this without saying a word is such a loving and righteous man.
Ming Lanruo was forced to sit on his lap and felt a little uncomfortable. She just straightened her waist and said, "Love and justice? Maybe."
She observed that Qin Yuchen was an extremely sober person, and every time he stood in line, he was very appropriate.
Five years ago, Yun Ni became powerful and favored here in Cang Qiao, and almost became the mistress of Dongchang. He made great achievements, but avoided Nanman.
In the past few years, he has been promoted from a guard commander to the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi. He is indeed talented, but Yun Ni is also under a lot of covert care.
But he wisely kept a distance from Yun Ni, and even married a wife and had children, showing by his actions that he would not threaten Yun Ni with the secrets of the past.
This time when he went to Beijing, he wisely chose to stand by his side, Princess Mourning, who was more favored by Cang Qiao.
"Qin Yuchen knows very well that your thousand-year-old master is the real person in power, with minions all over the East Factory. He doesn't think that Yun Ni can really change the world. Why is such an extremely sober and capable person so impulsive this time?
To reduce Yun Ni’s pain, would you rather lose your job and be punished?”
Ming Lanruo's analysis is very clear.
Cang Qiao looked at her with dark phoenix eyes, raised his hand and gently lifted her chin——
"When did our little girl become so smart and sharp? She doesn't look like she has been imprisoned for several years, but she looks like she has experienced countless storms in the harem of the previous dynasty, a wily strategist, or...
Demon concubine."
Ming Lanruo froze slightly, knowing that Cang Qiao finally doubted herself.
He is such a sharp person.
She lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Who knows, maybe there are too many things going on these days, and there is always some growth."
"Well, growing up..."
He chuckled, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and whispered: "It doesn't matter. One day, if you want to tell me how you grew up, I am willing to listen carefully."
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, feeling deeply frightened in her heart.
She knew that he was willing to wait for the day when she would let go of her guard and talk to him in detail.
"Yeah." She responded vaguely, somewhat helplessly.
His lips and the tip of his nose rubbed against the exposed skin of her neck, which was warm and moist, with a numbing itch.
He hugged her slender waist tightly, buried it in the soft crook of her neck, and said in a low voice: "I'm very tired, can you think of a way?"
I don't know why, but Ming Lanruo felt a little weak when he hugged her.
She had seen his cold, sinister, ruthless, paranoid, scheming, and even seductive side.
However, he was obviously wearing a powerful official uniform, but he looked like a simple young man, with a slightly aggrieved and tired look, which made her at a loss.
She... what is she going to do?
Coax him?
Ming Lanruo gently hugged his shoulders and stroked his back slowly and comfortingly.
