After Li Jing arranged everything, he found a reason that would not arouse suspicion and left the palace.
After leaving the palace, he hurried to the courtyard outside the capital.
Su Jingyao has lived here for more than three months.
The maid who was in charge of taking care of Su Jingyao was a mute girl that Li Jing bought from an obscure underground exchange in the capital.
These past few months have been an extraordinary period, and Li Jing has had to be extra careful. Su Jingyao had just given birth, and her appearance was not something an ordinary young lady could possess. In a place like the capital, news spread quickly, and he couldn't let anyone become suspicious.
These days, Su Jingyao was contented in the yard.
When tending flowers and plants, his eyes are focused and gentle, as if he is whispering to each flower; when reading, he can forget everything, as if he is amused by the wonderfulness of the book; when playing the piano, his fingers jump nimbly on the strings, and his expression is intoxicated.
At this moment, she was holding a watering can and carefully watering the lush crabapple flowers in the small garden.
The crabapple blossoms are colorful, some are as beautiful as lotus flowers emerging from the water, and some are as delicate as the sunset in the sky, which is really lovable.
Su Jingyao did not tie up all her long hair, but simply combed it into a bun as she did before she got married, leaving the rest of her inky black hair casually scattered.
When she bent down to water the plants, her long hair cascaded down to her chest, swaying gently.
Li Jing walked towards her from afar, looking at her figure, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
In fact, he noticed that she was very different from before. Just after a trip to the palace, her whole temperament became so peaceful and distant, as if she was not affected by the worldly affairs.
He had always known her great ambition and desire for power, so when he learned that she insisted on leaving the palace even though she was clearly already firmly seated on the throne of Queen and the mother of the country, Li Jing was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
However, he still did not ask the reason.
If she wanted to leave the palace, he would do his best to help her.
The emperor, who is high above everyone else, has three thousand beauties in his harem, and he will select more women in the future.
Perhaps after she became queen, she realized that so-called power was just that, and she was unwilling to spend her life in the harem scheming and scheming with other women for the favor of her husband.
Leaving the palace is also good.
Although he could not give her tremendous power, Li Jing was willing to do his best to grant her a life of wealth and leisure, and to protect her lifelong peace and happiness.
Li Jing walked up to Su Jingyao, his eyes gentle, and whispered, "Miss, I'm back."
When Su Jingyao heard Li Jing's voice, she straightened up from being bent over to water the plants.
She turned her head and smiled, "Li Jing, from now on there will be no Su Jingyao, the eldest daughter of the Su family. There will only be Ning Qian, the adopted daughter of the Ning family. Just call me Qian Qian."
Li Jing was slightly stunned at first, then said: "Okay, Qianqian."
"elder brother."
Su Jingyao also smiled back at Li Jing, her eyes curved into crescent shapes with a hint of kindness.
Li Jing's heart seemed to be instantly filled with a warm and fulfilling emotion.
He is an orphan and has never felt the warmth of his family in this vast world. The only person he truly cares about and holds in his heart is the woman in front of him.
He knew very well that even if she left the palace, it would be difficult for the relationship between them to make any substantial progress.
However, being her brother and having the identity to protect her throughout her life is already very good.
-
After Li Jing left the palace, he packed his luggage without delay and left the capital with Ning Qian.
Only after arriving in other cities did he begin to arrange various matters in an orderly manner.
She selected maids and grooms, and even hired a group of agile guards at a high price to ensure the safety of the journey.
In addition, he also specially called up a man from the martial arts world, Zhongli Mingchuan, who was a martial arts master, quite famous in the martial arts world, and a life-long friend of Li Jing.
Knowing that Jun Zechen would be attacking Canglang soon, in order to avoid conflicting with his schedule, Ning Qian thought carefully and finally chose to travel west to the mysterious Western Regions.
At this time, Ning Qian, Li Jing and Zhongli Mingchuan were sitting in a luxurious and exquisite carriage.
Zhongli Mingchuan had his black hair tied up high and was wearing a black suit. The fabric looked strong and flexible, obviously carefully prepared for traveling in the martial arts world.
His skin was not fair, perhaps due to his long years in the martial arts world, but had a healthy bronze hue, exuding a maturity that came from having experienced many hardships.
Beside him, a sword lay quietly, the decoration on the hilt was simple yet exquisite.
If you simply ignore the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, you would really think he is a cold-blooded, unapproachable and handsome swordsman.
However, after spending some time with him, Ning Qian knew very well that he was a casual and unconcerned person.
"Qianqian, why do you want to go to the Western Regions?" Li Jin asked with a little curiosity.
Ning Qian raised her eyebrows and smiled, bright and charming.
"They say, 'There are beauties in the West, whose buildings are built in the blue skies. Their eyebrows are as beautiful as the morning moon, and their smiles can bring joy to the whole city.' Naturally, I have to go and see them."
When Zhongli Mingchuan heard her answer, his eyes involuntarily fell on the woman opposite him.
Brother Li Jing's sister is really beautiful, but unexpectedly she also has a casual personality.
Zhongli Mingchuan has never been a man who is greedy for beauty, but these days he always has to force himself not to stare at girls, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
It was fate that I could travel with Brother Li Jing this time. Originally, he just wanted to travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Junguo, but he never thought that he could travel with Brother Li Jing and have such a stunning woman as his companion.
After spending the past few days together, I found that Miss Ning exuded the elegant temperament of a lady from a noble family, whether in her actions or in her words.
