Qiao Ziming witnessed the interaction between Su Muxi and Xie Xuan outside the door.
Just as she was feeling angry, she heard Liang Juan say softly, "It seems that the princess is really sad, but it is a bit too much to use another man to attract the prince's attention."
Qiao Ziming raised an eyebrow.
So Su Muxi is taking revenge on him?
Oh!
He reached out and took Liang Juan's hand, kissed it on the lips, and said with a hint of teasing, "You really know how to make this young master happy."
He was initially filled with anger, but Liang Juan's simple words instantly calmed him down.
Perhaps a woman doesn't need to be very beautiful; as long as you feel comfortable with her, that's more important than anything else.
At that moment, Qiao Ziming realized that he had truly fallen for Liang Juan.
Although Can'er was also very docile, she didn't talk much, only looking at him with her big, adoring eyes.
But every word Liang Juan said touched his heart and made him feel incredibly comfortable.
If Su Muxi could be like that, how wonderful that would be...
Two days later, Su Muxi and her group finally arrived in Jinzhou City.
In the past two days, Su Muxi has also noticed that Qiao Ziming would deliberately flirt with Liang Juan in front of her, and show a provocative look.
This made Su Muxi even more disgusted with Qiao Ziming.
As an official appointed by the imperial court and carrying out imperial orders, he not only did nothing of importance along the way, but also did such absurd and pointless things.
This made Su Muxi feel both ridiculous and pathetic.
So after entering the post station in Jinzhou City, Su Muxi took the initiative to approach Qiao Ziming.
"Your Highness, may we speak alone for a moment?"
Qiao Ziming was overjoyed upon hearing this.
It seems he really spoiled Su Muxi too much before. He didn't expect that after he ignored Su Muxi for only a few days, Su Muxi couldn't sit still anymore and actually took the initiative to talk to him!
Although he wanted to nod immediately, remembering how Su Muxi had rejected him in every way before, Qiao Ziming reached out and put his arm around Liang Juan, who was standing next to him, and said coldly, "Say what you have to say here."
Su Muxi curled her lips into a cold smile, but did not insist.
She originally wanted to save face for Qiao Ziming, the heir of the Marquis of Anyang, but since Qiao Ziming was being shameless, she no longer needed to hold back.
"Your Highness, you have certainly had a carefree and enjoyable journey these past few days. However, I must remind you of the purpose of your trip to Jinzhou!"
"I, the Princess Consort, will first go to the Su family to inquire about the medicinal herbs. I urge the Prince to quickly get out of his comfort zone and focus his attention on the plague in Fukang County!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming felt annoyed, but upon seeing Su Muxi's slightly tired eyes, he revealed a smug smile.
“Princess Yong’an truly cares about the people of Fukang County. However, her complexion has grown increasingly worse along the way. Why don’t you stay at the post station to rest, and I, the young master, will go and find out what’s going on?”
"No need. Although I am pregnant and feeling unwell, I am used to doing things myself, mainly because I am worried about the young master's ability to handle things!"
Su Muxi refused outright and made no attempt to hide the fact that she was pregnant.
Although the journey was bumpy and she felt unwell, the pregnancy was very stable.
After thinking it over, I felt there was no need to keep it a secret any longer.
Because regardless of whether anyone was plotting against her, she would be extra careful about the child in her womb.
So it's better to just say it directly, so that Qiao Ziming doesn't get all self-righteous!
Upon hearing Su Muxi's words, Qiao Ziming's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Pregnant? You're pregnant with Ye Zeyu's child?!"
Upon hearing this, McQueen shouted, "How dare you! How dare you address the Prince by his name!"
Qiao Ziming ignored Mai Kun and stared intently at Su Muxi, waiting for her answer.
Su Muxi raised an eyebrow, "This princess is already married to the prince, so naturally the child she is carrying is his!"
"This...how is this possible!" Qiao Ziming refused to believe it.
If Su Muxi is pregnant with Ye Zeyu's child, then what is he?!
What about all that smugness he's been feeling these past few days?!
Su Muxi chuckled and said, "Could it be that because I've been pregnant these past few days and have a poor appetite, Your Highness thinks I'm jealous? Or perhaps because I've been vomiting so much that I'm crying, Your Highness thinks I'm secretly heartbroken?"
"Qiao Ziming, why are you always so self-righteous?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Liang Juan beside her and continued, "And another thing, you're always so easily manipulated!"
Xie Xuan looked at Qiao Ziming's incredulous expression and his eyes revealed a mocking look. "How could someone as wise and powerful as the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Anyang be manipulated? He is clearly just indulging in a life of pleasure and unwilling to come out!"
"But the young master's taste is truly getting worse and worse. From an unattainable princess to an orphan girl who sold herself to bury her father, he's really becoming less and less picky about food!"
This time, Qiao Ziming finally reacted, stepping forward and grabbing Xie Xuan by the collar. "What did you say! Dare to say it again?!"
Xie Xuan was not afraid at all. "Ha! Is the young master so angry that he's embarrassed?! If the young master dares to have an affair with a woman in a carriage in broad daylight, why shouldn't I dare to speak out?!"
"Enough!"
Su Muxi shouted angrily, and Mai Kun stepped forward to separate the two.
However, when she made her move, she deliberately twisted Qiao Ziming's broken finger.
This almost made Qiao Ziming cry out in pain.
Chang Zhong, however, remained aloof and watched from the sidelines the entire time, showing no intention of stepping forward to help his young master.
Qiao Ziming felt his blood surging and his head spinning as he looked at the strange looks he received from those around him.
But Su Muxi didn't even glance at him. Instead, she looked at Xie Xuan and asked with concern, "Young Master Xie, are you alright?"
Xie Xuan straightened his clothes, which had been wrinkled by Qiao Ziming's grip, and shook his head slightly. "Your Highness, rest assured, I am fine. Once we return to the capital, I will definitely tell my father what I have seen and heard along the way, and have him report it to His Majesty!"
"Hmph! You can only rely on your father!" Qiao Ziming sneered.
But Xie Xuan's words completely shut him down.
"The young master is only doing this because of the Marquis of Anyang. Otherwise, with His Majesty's wisdom, why would he send someone like you to Jinzhou to deal with the plague?"
If it were just a matter of words, ten Qiao Zimos couldn't out-argue Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan ignored Qiao Zimo and said softly to Su Muxi, "Now that we have arrived in Jinzhou City, it is inconvenient for me, a person with nothing to do, to stay at the post station. I will leave now."
As he spoke, he took out a paper package from his pocket and handed it to Su Muxi. "I just bought this from a dried fruit shop I passed by. If Your Highness feels unwell, please have some."
"Your Highness, please remember to get plenty of rest. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he glanced at Su Muxi reluctantly, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and left.
He didn't look at Qiao Ziming again until he left.
Because he found it uninteresting.
Instead of wasting time arguing with Qiao Ziming, you should do something productive.
