Did they really need someone to eat it? How were they supposed to answer that question as guards? It was obvious.

The eight guards looked at each other, not knowing if they should move their chopsticks or not.

When Qiao Liangjin saw that everyone had stopped their chopsticks, she hurriedly urged them: ”You guys aren't going to eat, let the little mutt finish it.”

Yu Sheng, who was engrossed in his food, choked. This woman's method of tormenting others was always a new legend.

As if feeling that others didn't believe her, she quickly raised her three fingers and swore, ”I swear, I definitely won't say anything. You guys hurry up and eat.”

Only then did the eight guards begin to move their chopsticks.

Finally, after finishing the meal, the eight of them burped and said their apologies before flying off in all directions.

Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of her nose and snorted. ”There's no difference if I have you or not. You guys even took a free wage.”

Lu Li bitterly wrote everything he had just said onto a piece of paper and tied it to an owl. He said in a sad voice, ”Go and find Master. Tell him not to be a strong lady like us.”

Su Chen looked at the bandaged Li Zhendi on the bed and sat down on a round stool to the side. He asked, ”Is General Li's injury really that bad?”

The doctor at the side quickly kneeled down and said, ”It's nothing serious. It's just that some of the burns have been covered with ointment.”

Su Qing nodded her head and gestured for the doctor to leave.

As his two fingers swept across the air, Li Yizhi was jolted awake, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Su Ming and Su Chen.

Su Qingqing lightly flicked her sleeves. She did not ask any further questions, but her eyes slightly slanted as she glanced at the trembling Li character for the first time.

”I beg you, my lord, please spare my Li family. I am willing to die to atone for my sins.”

There was not a single trace of emotion on her clear and handsome face. When Li Xingzhi sat down on the bed in despair, her clear voice rang out, ”Who is it? Who wants to kill Qiao Ruo Ying?”

He thought that Su Chen wanted to ask about the crime of burning the principal consort, but unexpectedly, the one asking was Qiao Ruo Ying.

Wasn't that Qiao Ruoyin unable to find her corpse?

After clearing up that seemingly monstrous face, a slight smile appeared on his face.

However, that smile didn't reach his heart. At most, it was just a smile that didn't reach his eyes. It was just a kind of disdain.

As if he had made up his mind, Li Zhiru said seriously, ”This subordinate doesn't know about this. I only know that Qiao Ruoyin has been killed on the Heaven Line.”

Qing Qing maintained her smiling appearance, but her voice became colder and colder. ”So, it's my Emperor Brother?”

”Your subordinate doesn't know. Your subordinate only knows that Qiao Ruoyin couldn't find her corpse because of the collapse of the Heaven Line Cave. Until now, the one we reported to was also missing.”

Su Hengqing actually laughed out loud. ”Haha, good, good. You are truly a loyal martyr. It's fine, but I don't know what to say.”

He stood up and coughed twice before turning around and leaving the room. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned his head to say, ”The ointment that the wangfei gave you needs to be properly applied. ”No scars.”

There was not even a little bit of gratitude in his eyes, but he still kneeled down and thanked her for clearing up.

He shook his head and walked out of the room.

It was already late at night. The guard nearby handed an owl to Su Ming. After Su Ming finished reading the contents of the letter, a smile appeared on his face that was completely different from before.

Warmth, cleanliness, doting.

He had once said that the woman he wanted was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Someone who could share the prosperity of the world, and someone who would be willing to be ordinary with him.

Now it seemed that the once fat and foolish girl had long been annihilated by the passage of time.

He admired the current Qiao Liangjin from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking that the girl was not far from him, he impulsively wanted to take a look at her.

As she thought about it, she lowered her head and realized that she was already standing on top of the wall of the courtyard she rented.

They slowly descended into the courtyard. Bai opened the door and saw him. He closed the door again and turned out the light.

Qing Shui rubbed the tip of his nose and walked towards the door of Qiao Liangjin's room.

Through the window, she could see the flickering flame of a candle. Before she fell asleep, she lightly knocked on the door.

”Come in.” The girl's voice came out from inside.

After clearing up, he pushed the door open. The woman he loved was currently leaning against the bed, holding a book in her hand. She was staring at the book under the bright candlelight.

”Zi Yan, after a tired day, go to sleep.” Qiao Liangjin did not raise her head.
