Seeing the resentful look in Xiao Jian's eyes, Qing'er felt helpless. But Xinglan kept pulling her along, and she couldn't just push her away.
"Um, I need to use the restroom, this hand..."
Qing'er finally thought of a way to make him loosen his grip, and wanted to take the opportunity to spend some time alone with Xiao Jian.
Seeing Qing'er clutching her stomach, Xinglan finally let go. "Then sister, go quickly. I'll stay here and wait for you to come back!"
"..."
Qing'er left feeling slightly guilty, and when she got to Xiao Jian's side, she gave him a look.
When Xiao Yanzi saw this, she patted Xiao Jian and said, "Brother, hurry up and go. I'll buy you some time."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards Xinglan, blocking his view of Xiao Jian.
"Sister Little Swallow, where did Brother Yongqi go?"
Seeing Xiao Yanzi approach, Xinglan was not afraid. She looked at Xiao Yanzi curiously and asked about Yongqi's whereabouts.
Xiao Yanzi feigned jealousy as she looked at Xinglan, "Why do you care about him? Are you trying to steal Qing'er away and Yongqi away too?"
Xinglan shook her head. "Of course not. I was just asking out of curiosity. I didn't mean anything by it."
"Sister Little Swallow, are you and Brother Yongqi a couple?"
Hearing Xinglan's question, Xiaoyanzi became even more curious, "Why do you ask that?"
Xinglan said in a deliberately profound tone, "I don't think you two are a good match..."
"Then tell me, who would be a good match for me?"
Xinglan pointed to Fu Erkang and said, "I think that older brother is more suitable for you..."
"..."
Xiao Yanzi fell silent. Damn it, she wanted to break up her brother and sister-in-law, and also her and Yongqi, and Ziwei and Erkang. She couldn't stand it!
"What makes you think we're a good match?"
Little Swallow glared at him, somewhat angry.
"Sister Xiaoyanzi, I think it's best if you and Brother Erkang keep some distance, otherwise Sister Ziwei will get angry..."
When Xiao Yanzi heard what he said, she was completely dumbfounded. What was he talking about?
Immediately afterwards, she turned around and saw Xia Ziwei and Fu Erkang walking over, both of them looking puzzled.
"..."
Oh, this guy actually schemed against her!
Little Swallow took a deep breath. "You're being naughty. I'm going to tell Qing'er."
Xia Ziwei looked at Xiao Yanzi curiously, "Xiao Yanzi, what did he just say? I didn't understand?"
Little Swallow pounded her chest. "I'm going to calm down. You guys keep an eye on him!"
Before leaving, she whispered in Xia Ziwei's ear, "Watch his mouth, he'll sow discord!"
"You bastard, just wait until you're all better, I'll see what I do to you!"
He's still injured, and dealing with patients isn't Xiao Yanzi's style.
So even if she's really angry or furious right now, she has to hold it in.
Seeing Xiao Yanzi's sullen face, and then looking at Xinglan resting in the back, Qianlong laughed and asked, "What did he say to make you so angry?"
"He's been playing matchmaker and sowing discord! Yet he acts all innocent and docile in front of Qing'er!"
Emperor Qianlong pressed on, "Then do you have a way to make him reveal his true colors in front of Qing'er?"
"I'm so angry my head hurts, I can't think straight!"
The implication is that she has no other choice at the moment.
"I wonder how Yongqi has handled things? Will those court officials make things difficult for him?"
While Xiao Yanzi was angry, she also thought of Yongqi, who had already returned to the palace, and began to worry about his situation.
Emperor Qianlong comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, Yongqi is not a lamb to be slaughtered. Those people can't make things difficult for him. Besides, I've given him the Imperial Sword!"
————————————————————
As for Xiao Jian and Qing'er, Xiao Jian found a small cave and made it a place for him and Qing'er to meet.
"Xiao Jian, calm down..."
At this moment, Qing'er was pressed against the wall by Xiao Jian, her hands raised above her head by him...
Xiao Jian pulled away from her lips and whispered, "Calm down? Do you know how much strength it takes for me to resist hitting him when he's clinging to you like that?"
After saying that, he kissed her again. Gradually, Qing'er's hands were freed, but she wrapped her arms around Xiao Jian's neck again.
Xiao Jian kissed her neck. Her clothes were a little disheveled, and one could vaguely see what lay beneath. Xiao Jian lowered his head and kissed deeper. Qing'er panicked a little. She and Xiao Jian had never gone this far before. "Xiao Jian, just bear with it a little longer!"
"If you want me to tolerate him, not to beat him up, and even to check his injuries, then you'd better give me more benefits, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself..."
Fortunately, they were outside, so even though Xiao Jian was angry and jealous, he controlled himself and didn't go too far.
Qing'er's legs went weak from Xiao Jian's kisses, her clothes were half off, and she leaned against Xiao Jian's chest. Supported by Xiao Jian, she rested in the cave for an unknown amount of time. Only after tidying up her clothes and face did Qing'er dare to go back. Xiao Jian followed her back.
"Sister, you're back! Why were you gone for so long? Were you not feeling well?"
Xinglan's question reminded Qing'er of what she and Xiao Jian had just done, and her face turned bright red. "Sister, why is your face red? Do you have a fever?"
Seeing Qing'er's expression, Xiao Yanzi knew that Xiao Jian and Qing'er must have kissed just now. She sneakily walked over and slapped away the hand that was about to touch Qing'er's forehead, saying, "How dare you touch Qing'er's forehead?"
"I'm warning you, Qing'er is my future sister-in-law, don't even think about making a move on her!"
Little Swallow glared at him sharply, seemingly unwilling to speak to him politely anymore because of his earlier matchmaking.
"I know I'm weak and stupid, not good enough for my sister, so it's normal that she doesn't like me..."
"..." Damn it, Little Swallow clenched her fists when she heard this, "You..."
"Little Swallow!" Xia Ziwei grabbed Little Swallow's hand just in time. "Calm down!"
"Two days actually passed very quickly. Once we're ready to hit the road, we won't have to keep in touch with him all the time!"
Xia Ziwei pulled Xiao Yanzi away from Xinglan's sight and comforted her.
"Ziwei, this guy's words are so infuriating! And to make matters worse, he's injured now, and he's also Qing'er's benefactor!"
I can't hit them, and I can't yell at them. It's so frustrating!
Did he say anything unpleasant to you or Er Kang just now?
Xia Ziwei shook her head. "Not only did he not say anything unpleasant, he also wished me and Erkang well. What's wrong?"
"Damn it, aren't you deliberately trying to annoy me and my brother? You're all smiles and pleasantries to you, but you're all over Qing'er, and you're just trying to annoy me and my brother, right?"
Little Swallow gritted her teeth and glared at Xinglan, who was fawning over Qing'er. "Just you wait, once he's better, I'll see how I deal with him!"
What did he say to you that made you so angry?
Xia Ziwei really couldn't understand why Xiao Yanzi was so angry.
"Heh, he said I'm not a good match for Yongqi, but for Erkang!"
"..." Xia Ziwei was dumbfounded. "He really told you that?"
Little Swallow nodded, "Yes, otherwise why would I be so angry? I look like a little white rabbit, but I'm actually a cunning fox!"
"He's deliberately trying to curry favor with Qing'er while also trying to sow discord among us. Is he planning to turn us against each other so he can defeat us one by one?"
"Ziwei, do you also think that his appearance seems deliberate?"
Xia Ziwei nodded, "Erkang and I both think so; his appearance is definitely not that simple!"
