Jiang Qiao went back to Changle Palace to change her clothes. She had originally planned to spend the night in Changle Palace and change back when Yunyan entered the palace tomorrow.
But now with Chi Qianan, it would not be difficult for Chi Qianan to use his lightness skills to take someone out of the palace. Bathing was not allowed in Changle Palace, and she hated the smell of blood on her body. Even after changing clothes, she could still smell it.
Chi Qi'an put his arm around her waist and led her past the patrolling guards, over the palace wall, and out of the palace in a short while.
"I didn't expect that this deep palace trapped many people, but it couldn't trap General Chi." Jiang Qiao said.
Chi Qian'an recalled the first time he met her. It was when he returned to Beijing early and sneaked into the palace to check the secret letters between Concubine Zhu and the Lou family.
"It can't trap the princess, can it?"
Jiang Qiao didn't answer, but asked him, "Chi Qian'an, when did you fall in love with me?"
Hearing this question, Chi Qi'an was stunned. When? He forgot, it should have been very early...
"have no idea."
Jiang Qiao asked again: "Then do you know when I became so dependent on you?"
Chi Qi'an: "I don't know."
Jiang Qiaoluo answered generously, "Actually, I liked the General the first time I saw him. I think we were destined to be together in our previous life, but the reason I had to be with him was when he wiped the blood off my face just now. He made me realize that there is someone in this world who will accept me no matter what I am like."
Her eyes were as soft as silk, sliding across his eyes, as if an invisible electric current was flowing between them.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 85% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
The system prompts confirmed Chi Qian'an's deep love.
——
Jiang Qiao was sent back to the courtyard of Mingyin Pavilion by Chi Qian'an. Just as Chi Qian'an was about to leave, she stopped him and said, "Chi Qian'an, good night."
Chi Qianan didn’t quite understand the meaning of good night at first, but he guessed it meant have a good night.
"good evening."
…
Looking in from the outside, the room was very dark.
Yunyan and Yuxing were still awake. They sat back to back on the bed. They couldn't sleep and were really worried about Jiang Qiao. They didn't know what the princess was doing.
Their intuition told them that this was no small matter.
“Dongdongdong—”
There was a knock on the door, and Yunyan and Yuxing looked at it vigilantly.
"It's me, open the door."
Hearing the familiar voice, the two felt relieved. Yuxing went to light the candles, and Yunyan ran to open the door.
"Princess, you must have worried me to death. Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?"
Jiang Qiao didn't want to explain too much, "It's okay, Yuxing, go boil some water, I want to take a bath."
"yes."
He handed a bag on his shoulder to Yunyan and said, "Go and burn this. Don't leave any traces."
As soon as Yunyan took the bag, she smelled a strong smell of blood. She didn't ask any questions and just took the things and went downstairs.
After preparing the brazier, Yunyan's heart skipped a beat when she saw what was in the bundle: funeral clothes stained with blood.
She finally understood why the princess was in such a hurry to take a bath. Yunyan was very panicked when she looked at the clothes and just wanted to burn them quickly, but she didn't know whose blood it was?
I hope the princess is okay.
…
Jiang Qiao used a lot of perfume, but still felt that she couldn't wash off the bloody smell on her body. She pinched the edge of the bathtub, and her slender fingers turned blue.
Whenever she thought of the murder scene, her heart beat faster and faster, and the familiar feeling of dizziness came over her again.
"You are Jiang Ji's first child, how can I let you stay!"
"Since you were three years old, I have been giving you Huang Shi until you reached adulthood..."
Lou Zhuxin's words slowly echoed in her mind and began to play in a loop. Jiang Qiao felt like she had fallen into a bottomless black hole, and her head felt heavy.
…
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Qiao was no longer in the bathtub. He was lying on the bed, meeting Jiang Yanchuan's emotional gaze.
For a moment, Jiang Yanchuan even forgot to pretend to be his old self.
Jiang Qiao rubbed his temples, his voice was hoarse and not very pleasant, "When did you recover?"
Seeing that he had been caught, Jiang Yanchuan stopped playing dumb and looked at her with a questioning look. "The second Miss Qin, who was killed by her eldest sister, recovered after being rescued."
Jiang Qiao laughed, "After regaining consciousness, she became polite and knew to call me elder sister."
"Shouldn't Eldest Sister explain why she forced Miss Qin to death? Was it because she saved me and didn't let me die at that banquet? I must be right. Eldest Sister hates me the most, doesn't she?" Jiang Yanchuan's eyes were cold.
"Is that how you miss me?" Jiang Qiao looked at him tenderly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanchuan, who regained his consciousness, had such a strong grudge against her.
Jiang Yanchuan avoided her gaze. "You're being so nice to me now, aren't you just trying to use me to become emperor and make me your puppet? Well, I'm telling you now, you'd better put away your little tricks. When I become emperor, the first person I'm going to kill is you. I'm going to make you taste all the suffering I've endured."
Jiang Qiao was not angry. She could understand his thoughts. He was still young at that time and had suffered a lot since he was five years old. Only after she came into this world did his life become a little better. Now that he has regained his sanity, those sufferings will only make him remember them more.
She remembered what Lou Zhuxin said again. She didn't know how many years her body could live after taking Huang Shi for more than ten years. The doctor couldn't treat himself. Moreover, Huang Shi had been in her body for too long. She couldn't save herself and could only drink some cooling medicine.
Jiang Qiao’s biggest wish now is to max out Chi Qian’an’s strategy value and win the throne for the young man in front of her. Finally, she has a hidden mission, which is to maintain the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
"I understand, you go out first!"
Jiang Yanchuan felt like he had punched cotton. He thought Jiang Qiao would be very angry and even hit him, but she didn't. She just let him leave calmly.
All the grievances were about to burst out at this moment. Why didn’t I save him when he was a child and turned a blind eye to him? They have the same blood!
Jiang Qiao saw the tear in the corner of his eye, silently turned over and covered herself with the quilt. The dizziness came again and she was very sleepy.
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Jiang Ji was getting angry again, "Who did it?"
He just heard the guards report that Lou Zhuxin died tragically in the cold palace.
Jiang Ji didn't believe it and went to see for himself. The woman's face no longer had the charm it once had. Her body was covered with knife wounds of all sizes. Her abdomen was stabbed with several bloody holes. She lay in a pool of blood, her eyes wide open...
Li Dequan knelt on the ground and held the bloody dagger high. "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have already investigated, and only this dagger was left at the scene."
Jiang Ji looked at the dagger and felt familiar, but he couldn't tell where it was familiar. He just remembered where he had seen it.
My head started to hurt again.
"Investigate! This person dared to openly challenge the royal family. Once we find him, we'll dismember him and exterminate his entire clan!"
"yes!"
"Go and light the incense that Changle gave me."
