Chapter 30: The Jade Pendant with the Chinese Character "Tong" and the Princess Taking Off Her Makeup
"They've really finished killing each other."
Xiao Qingji sat on the main seat with his legs crossed, holding a black and white cat in his arms, and rubbed it gently from time to time, disturbing the sleepy cat from sleeping.
He lowered his head, a rare touch of genuine tenderness in his eyes. Seeing the cat was so sleepy it couldn't even open its eyes, he stopped bothering it and gave Mingshu a look. Mingshu then stepped forward, took the cat in his arms, and carried it to the next room, gently placing it in its own soft bed.
His Highness only showed some tenderness when facing that person and the cats and dogs.
Mingshu quickly returned to Xiao Qingji's side. Xiao Qingji crossed his arms and regained his former gentle expression.
"Is everything packed?"
"Yes, yes... I have already sent people to clean up the bodies, and no one has discovered them."
Gao Zhu was so servile that he was sweating so much that he could take a shower.
"That's good." Xiao Qingji was not angry at all because all the men he sent out were killed. Instead, he was in a good mood.
He knew from the beginning that his father had secretly sent people to follow him, with two purposes: one, to bring Xiao Qinggu back to the palace; two, to capture "Shang Yuwan" and the owner of Baijia Tower and bring them back to the palace.
Xiao Qingji found out the identities of Shang Yuwan and the others during his first fight with them, so how could the two in the palace not know?
"Shang Yuwan"...if they killed all the Longwu Army, it would be more advantageous for him to act later.
The corners of Xiao Qingji's mouth slowly opened up, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.
Do you want to "revolt" under the name of the daughter of the Shang family?
It's just a pipe dream.
"Your Highness..." Gao Zhu spoke cautiously.
"Hmm?" Xiao Qingji was in a good mood and didn't give him a cold look.
"The Fifth Princess..."
"The Fifth Princess is doing well now, Lord City Lord, don't worry."
Gao Zhu was interrupted by a female voice before he could finish his words. Xiao Qingji and Mingshu looked over and saw that the person coming was Xiaoman.
"It turns out that Sister Xiaoman is back." Xiao Qingji narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Please come in."
Xiaoman walked in step by step with a cold face. Gao Zhu was shocked but did not say anything.
This person is the Fifth Princess's personal maid. She can come and go freely in the City Lord's Mansion. She must be extraordinary. After hearing what the Crown Prince said... it's better for him not to get involved.
Xiao Man walked to Gao Zhu's side and stopped moving forward. He fixed his eyes on Xiao Qingji and said calmly, "Lord City Lord is tired. Please go down first."
Gao Zhu looked at Xiao Qingji.
Xiao Qingji smiled and nodded, "Lord City Lord, please relax. As long as you listen to me, you will be safe and sound regarding the disaster relief money."
Gao Zhu then hurriedly took his leave.
After Gao Zhu left, Xiao Man took out a jade pendant from her bosom. The jade was engraved with the word "Tong".
When Xiao Qingji and Mingshu saw the jade pendant, one of them stood up and bowed, while the other knelt on one knee.
Mingshu said respectfully, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xiao Qingji's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression. "Aunt."
"I wonder if my aunt will take this jade..."
“Bang!”
Xiao Qingji's head suddenly tilted to one side, his eyes were blank for a moment, and the left side of his face quickly became red and swollen.
After the crisp and loud slap, there was the sound of Xiao Qingji falling to the ground.
"Xiao Qingji, don't forget what I told you."
Xiaoman's eyes seemed to be filled with ice. "If you dare to have any ill intentions towards her, I will have you chopped into pieces."
"Use your scraps of meat to feed your cats and dogs!"
Xiao Qingji's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart, which had not yet completely cooled down, was stabbed hard.
Xiaoman's complexion looked a little better. Mingshu silently helped Xiao Qingji, who was still in a daze, up. Xiaoman held the jade pendant in both hands.
"If Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to take it, I hope Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be offended."
"Hehe...hahahahahahaha...I don't blame you. Of course I won't blame Sister Xiaoman..."
Xiao Qingji laughed a few times at first, then took the jade pendant with his own hands and held it in his palm, refusing to let go.
"I did something wrong in this matter, and I know I was wrong. I hope Sister Xiaoman can speak well of me in front of my aunt in the future."
After Xiaoman returned the gift, he said, "I must return to the princess quickly to avoid being exposed. Take care, Your Highness."
Xiaoman turned to leave, and Xiao Qingji suddenly called her.
"Your aunt and her gang were killed. Can you accomplish anything by yourself?"
Xiaoman stopped and was not distracted by this sentence.
"Aunt is old, and I am younger than her."
Xiaoman tilted her head slightly, the dim candlelight outlined her figure, and the hidden murderous aura was revealed a little.
"I can only kill faster and more accurately than her."
......
“Knock knock.”
"Um, Madam? Are you guys okay?"
Ji Suxian had just bandaged the wound of the twelfth monk Yuwan when someone knocked on the door.
Judging from the voice, it was Xiao Qinggu.
Ji Suxian packed up the bottles and jars, carried the medical box and took Twelve away. At first, Twelve was a little reluctant, and Ji Suxian's expression changed immediately.
twelve:"......"
Forget it, I'd better just follow her. She looks like she wants to eat her.
Ji Suxian opened the door and went out with Twelve. Xiao Qinggu took this opportunity to squeeze in and secretly took another look at Twelve.
"Oh, by the way, if you have anything else, come find me at Liu Niang's."
Ji Suxian turned around and gave a reminder, Shang Yuwan nodded to indicate that he heard it. Upon seeing this, Ji Suxian took Shi Er and left peacefully.
Xiao Qinggu rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked with concern: "Madam, how do you feel? Is it still painful?"
Shang Yuwan let out a breath and put on her clothes. "Fifth Princess, please stop teasing me. The Young Madam is just a front."
"oh......"
Xiao Qinggu pouted.
"Why did your highness come to see me?"
Xiao Qinggu sighed, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you? What do you want from me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she changed her words, "No, no, it should be said that you have a grudge against my second brother?"
Xiao Qinggu's sword-like eyebrows were twisted together, and his pair of phoenix eyes were filled with confusion.
"You are the ones that Second Brother wants to use me to lure out, right? Why are you protecting me so much? Do we know each other?"
Shang Yuwan smiled but did not answer. Instead, she asked something else: "Is Her Royal Highness the Princess injured?"
Xiao Qinggu shook her head. Shang Yuwan and the others tried their best to protect her. Apart from being a little frightened, she was fine.
"You and that girl have suffered quite a few injuries. She is your personal maid, right? I think she would even risk her life for you."
Xiao Qinggu said this with some envy in his eyes.
"You two have such a good relationship."
"She's not my personal maid. I'm here to help her master avenge her." Shang Yuwan shook her head slightly. "You said she'd risk her life for me... Maybe we were sisters in our past life?"
Xiao Qinggu suddenly understood, "Really? That's why you two are so compatible in this life!"
Shang Yuwan smiled and said, "Your Highness, stop pretending. We risked our lives to save you tonight."
"Eh? Is that so straightforward?"
Xiao Qinggu blinked and laughed too.
"Then you didn't answer any of my questions. How can I not pretend if you don't answer any of them?"
Xiao Qinggu finally took off half of his disguise, grinning and revealing a row of white teeth.
"You're not the only ones who've risked their lives for me since childhood. If you want me to trust you, you have to show some sincerity, right?"
"Don't you think so?"
"Shang, Yu, Wan."
