"Little sister, are you hurt?"

Qiao Tianjing spoke anxiously and looked Qiao Jiaojiao up and down several times.

Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed onto her brother's collar, her eyebrows curved and she shook her head, "Brother, I'm fine."

After confirming it again and again, Qiao Tianjing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone was a little harsh.

"Next time, don't let me put myself in danger, no matter how much you throw a tantrum or beg for mercy."

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that her elder brother must be very worried, so she nodded obediently.

"Brother, Jiaojiao is the most obedient. There won't be a next time, okay?"

Qiao Tianjing looked at Jiaojiao in his arms, feeling so much love in his heart. Finally, he sighed softly, then closed his arms and hugged her tightly again.

"Little sister, you——"

After he calmed down, he immediately became serious.

"Little sister, I'm sure you heard what Ah Er said just now. The old woman's appearance was strange. I'm afraid it was the work of the eldest prince. However..."

Qiao Tianjing's expression was a little complicated, and he raised his eyebrows. Could it be that his brother had figured out something fishy?

At this time, Meng Guxue came over anxiously, "Brother Qiao, why don't we go into the palace first?"

She spoke quickly and immediately repeated everything the Fourth Princess had said when she was interrogated.

Qiao Tianjing's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end, just nodded obediently.

"Listen to Miss Meng and go to the palace first."

Qiao Tianjing was riding a horse, and Jiaojiao had something to say, so she rode with him.

"Brother, I just confessed to Meng Guxue, and Shen Yuanbai might have figured out something."

Qiao Jiaojiao told everything that happened after she was captured. Qiao Tianjing looked a little solemn, but he still comforted Jiaojiao in a gentle voice.

( ′??)?(._.`)

"Little sister, it's okay."

"Even if none of this happened tonight, with Shen Yuanbai's intelligence, he would still be able to find clues if he calmed down and traced back."

"Instead of living in fear, wondering when he will react, we can take advantage of the situation now that both sides know the truth and launch a counterattack!"

When Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that her brother had the same idea as her!

"Brother, I have a plan!"

Qiao Tianjing smiled and leaned over when he heard this, "Tell me about it."

Jiaojiao immediately covered her mouth with her hands and whispered something.

Qiao Tianjing looked thoughtful, nodded slowly, and then added:

"Little sister, even if he really flees to the Northern Kingdom, it doesn't matter. The emperor and father are now planning a northern expedition. The Northern Kingdom... can get even more chaotic."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly turned her head to look at Qiao Tianjing, and in a flash, she had figured out something.

Her eyes sparkled as she whispered, "Brother, are you referring to Che Taishi who is also in Nanli Kingdom?"

Qiao Tianjing raised his lips and said with a little pride: "My little sister is smart, she will understand as soon as she takes it seriously!"

Jiaojiao: (???)?

Hehe, it seems that Shen Yuanbai has to completely mess up the waters in the Northern Kingdom Court...

The carriage soon arrived outside the Nanli Palace. After Meng Guxue got off the carriage, she immediately received a look from A'er.

Aja: (??????)??

Meng Guxue: (? ˉ ? ˉ)?

Hehe, it seems that the repeated words Gu is also done!

"Help the fourth princess get off the carriage quickly. I'll support her!"

Meng Guxue was worried about Baili Chengyou and spoke hastily.

At this time, the guards guarding the palace gate were muttering about the three princes and envoys from two countries who had just hurried into the palace. When they saw a group of people approaching, they immediately went forward to check.

After seeing who was coming, they all bowed: "Greetings to the Third Imperial Concubine, Greetings to the Fourth Princess!"

Meng Guxue waved her hand, "This palace and the fourth princess have important matters to attend to the king. The people behind you are envoys from the Yong Dynasty. Please get out of the way!"

A'er also took out the third prince's badge in time.

Seeing this, the guards quickly made way, and the group abandoned the car and entered the palace.

A'er was walking in front and soon saw a figure running towards them on the palace road. He narrowed his eyes slightly. Isn't this Eunuch Dong?

Meng Guxue was also sharp-eyed, and immediately called out in a low voice: "Eunuch Dong!"

Dong Lu hurried forward and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Meng Guxue was safe and sound.

"Ancient God bless you, the imperial concubine has returned safely!"

Meng Guxue walked up to him and whispered, "Eunuch Dong, why aren't you with Baili?"

Eunuch Dong hurriedly replied, "His Highness said that the imperial concubine will return safely, and asked me to wait here specially."

"Your Highness also asked this old servant to pass on a message, saying that if the imperial concubine hears any rumors, don't worry, Your Highness can handle it."

When Meng Guxue heard this, the image of Baili Chengyou taking the time to give instructions to Eunuch Dong flashed through her mind, and she felt sad.

"Eunuch Dong, there is something fishy about this matter. Take me there quickly."

Dong Lu was already extremely anxious, so he dared not delay any longer. He led the way while saying:

"Before His Highness left the palace, he asked me to look after the Madam. Just after the Madam had dinner, the king's summons arrived at Qiushi Palace."

"Madam has been lying in bed for more than two months, and her body has not yet fully recovered. The king immediately ordered someone to bring a sedan chair."

"I was worried and followed him all the way to the Imperial Study. As a result, I met His Highness and was sent by His Highness to the palace road to wait for the Imperial Concubine to arrive."

Meng Guxue nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and walked faster.

Baili Miaoxue's eyes flickered, and she was making all kinds of calculations in her mind.

It seems that my eldest brother has already started the trouble, so my father has called my wife over. I don’t know how serious the situation has become now!

Everyone hurried to the outside of the imperial study. The palace door was closed and all the palace servants stood three feet away.

Upon seeing this, Meng Guxue quickly asked the young eunuch to come forward and report, but the young eunuch was hesitant and obviously very scared.

"Third Concubine, the King has said that no one can get close to the Imperial Study. Your servant... your servant..."

Meng Guxue thought about it, took a breath and was about to report loudly, but she didn't expect Baili Miaoxue to be even more anxious than her and had already shouted with all her might:

"Father, I have something urgent to discuss with you. It's urgent!"

After a while, the door of the imperial study was opened from the inside, and the king's personal eunuch walked out.

Eunuch Guan glanced at the person who came and went back in.

After he came back, he shouted very simply: "Xuan——"

Hearing this, Meng Guxue hurriedly supported the Fourth Princess and walked inside. She turned her head and whispered to Qiao Tianjing:

"Brother Qiao, follow me. As long as the king doesn't say we can't enter, we can just walk in shamelessly!"

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't want to miss such a grand occasion. She sat in Qiao Tianjing's arms, with her upper body leaning towards the imperial study.

When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, no one stopped Eunuch Guan.

Qiao Jiaojiao entered the hall, glanced around calmly, and took in the entire scene in the hall.

This scene really seems familiar.

Previously in the Yong Dynasty, there was also a thrilling chaos in the imperial study that directly determined the heir to the throne of the Yong Dynasty.

Now the situation is being repeated in the imperial study of Nanli Kingdom!
