Chapter 79: The Misogyny Photographer x The Stunningly Beautiful Female Killer 29
The weather was exceptionally good on the day Qin Yue set out. Although it was just the beginning of autumn, the heat had not subsided at all. Instead, there was a hint of coolness in the air on the day of departure.
Qin Yue hugged Aunt Qiao reluctantly, and his face showed his reluctance. He then looked at his own son and daughter, two-month-old babies, fair and tender with milk.
Seeing his expression, Aunt Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Prince, please hold the children again. I don't know when they will be able to come back."
Qin Yue pursed his lips, took the two children and carefully held them in his arms, and said softly, "It won't be long. I must come back before the children can speak."
After watching the large group of people leave until there was no human figure left, Aunt Qiao sighed and turned back to her mansion.
Cao Qing hid in the corner, glared fiercely at Qiao Jinjin's back, curled the corners of her mouth, and looked in the direction Qin Yue left, her eyes full of calculation.
Qin Yue and his group were traveling very fast, and it was impossible for a weak woman like Cao Qing to catch up with them.
But Cao Qing did not give up. Even if she had to follow him to the capital, she was determined to win Qin Yue over.
Since Qin Yue left, the mansion suddenly became quiet. Fortunately, with the company of the two children and Nanny Gu and Wu Cuiyun, Aunt Qiao was able to adapt well. However, she sometimes couldn't sleep at night. Without Qin Yue's strong arms, she really felt a little uncomfortable.
In the dead of night, two black shadows flew over the treetops of the mansion. One of them led Lei Feng away, and the other finally landed on the tiles on the roof of Aunt Qiao's house without any sound.
Aunt Qiao was sitting by the window in a daze because of insomnia, while Nanny Gu was yawning, holding her head.
A pair of eyes on the roof were staring intently at Aunt Qiao, who was wearing a white pajamas, and their gaze became increasingly profound.
After a moment, the man in black left quietly.
"Master, you are back"
Chi Tianlin took off the black cloth on his face, frowned slightly and said, "The plan is temporarily cancelled."
The middle-aged man standing aside was shocked and asked in confusion, "Master, Qin Yue has already left, why did you cancel the operation?"
Chi Tianlin sat on the chair and pinched his brows and said, "I have other arrangements."
The people guarding Shangjing were all Qin Yue's subordinates, so when Qin Yue returned to Shangjing, no one was alarmed, and no one knew that Qin Yue had left Shangjing.
The next morning, Qin Yue appeared in the court safe and sound, which surprised King Kang, who had always been confident that Qin Yue was seriously ill, especially when he saw that Qin Yue showed no signs of weakness at all.
Of course the emperor can think of what Prince Kang can think of.
"How long has it been since the Regent came to court? Isn't he sick? Why does it look like he is not sick at all?"
Qin Yue curled his lips and said, "It's rare that the emperor still cares about me, but I have always been in good health. Even if I was not feeling well, I would have recovered long ago."
Prince Kang gritted his teeth, his eyes full of reluctance, took two steps forward and said, "Excuse me, uncle, how is the Regent Princess now?"
"Heh." Qin Yue glanced at King Kang coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "King Kang really cares about my princess. Haven't you always known everything about my princess's movements?"
King Kang pursed his lips and said nothing. Although Ah Yue had often reported to him about Qiao Qiao's every move in recent months, he always felt uneasy.
Seeing Qin Yue standing here today, I felt even more uneasy.
He bowed to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and said, "Father, I am very happy that my uncle is safe and sound. I am sure you are too."
"I suggest that we hold a palace banquet to wish the emperor's uncle good health."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. He knew exactly what Prince Kang was thinking. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, there hasn't been a palace banquet since the queen passed away. Let's take this opportunity to hold one."
"When the time comes, please ask the Regent King to bring the Regent Queen to the palace."
After the morning court session, Prince Kang hurried to Concubine Chen Shufei's Yukang Palace.
As soon as he entered the room, he drove out the maid who was serving him.
Concubine Chen frowned, looked at the unusual behavior of Prince Kang and asked, "What are you doing, my son? What's the matter?"
King Kang looked unhappy. He sat on the chair and drank a cup of tea in one breath. "Mother, the emperor's uncle is in court today."
Concubine Chen Shu was startled and slapped the table, "How could that be? How is his health? Is he ill?"
King Kang shook his head and said, "My uncle is in good health. He doesn't look like he has just recovered from a serious illness. I am worried."
Concubine Chen Shu exhaled angrily and said, "This is not normal. Could it be that the Regent Prince has been pretending to be sick for the past year? But what does he want?"
"I also think this is unusual, so I suggested to my father that we hold a palace banquet and let the uncle bring the regent princess to attend the banquet."
Concubine Chen Shu thought for a long time and asked, "Is your subordinate named A Yue reliable?"
Prince Kang nodded affirmatively and said, "Mother, Ah Yue needs my antidote to survive. She dare not betray me."
Concubine Chen narrowed her eyes and said, "Add another bargaining chip. Tell Ah Yue that if she works hard for you, she will be given the position of consort when you ascend the throne."
King Kang disagreed with this and said unhappily, "Mother, I like Qiao Qiao. As long as I ascend to that position, I will make Qiao Qiao my concubine."
"Nonsense!" Concubine Chen Shu turned her face away from King Kang. "Don't even think about Qiao Qiao anymore. It's been so long. Do you know what happened between her and the Regent? Don't you feel bad about it?"
Prince Kang pursed his lips and said, "Even if something happened between her and the emperor's uncle, it must have been forced by the emperor's uncle. I don't mind."
Concubine Chen was so angry at King Kang that she couldn't breathe. Her chest heaved up and down as she pointed at King Kang and said in a stern voice, "How can you be so foolish, just for a woman? How will the ministers in the court talk about you in the future?"
Concubine Chen Shu took a breath and said, "Let's wait for the palace banquet first. If the Regent Prince really comes with the Regent Princess, let's see how they get along."
"If the Regent Prince still cannot get close to women, then mother has no objection. If they are intimate, the prince should also consider giving up."
Although Prince Kang wanted to refute, he had no choice but to give up when he saw Concubine Chen's unyielding expression. However, he was very confident in his heart that even if the Regent Prince really allowed contact with women, Qiao Qiao would definitely refuse.
If Qin Yue knew what they were thinking, he would just laugh. Is Jin'er something that King Kang, that waste, can think about? Not only can he touch Jin'er, he even has sons and daughters with her.
"Master, everything has been arranged. We can take action on the day of the palace banquet."
Qin Yue nodded. Hosting the palace banquet helped him a lot. He just waited for that day to catch Qin Fan and others in one fell swoop.
It is not necessary to take their lives, but it is still necessary to degrade them to commoners and imprison them.
Rubbing the sachet around his waist, Qin Yue began to miss Aunt Qiao and his two children again. He had to seize the time and bring his beloved back as soon as possible.
