C64 (2/2)

”The candle flame isn't too clear. It's not good for your eyes.” She walked in front of Qiao Liangjin and snatched the book from her hands.

He took a look at the cover and saw that it was Sheng Cheng's miscellaneous notes.

Qiao Liangjin obviously did not expect that the person who came would be cleared away. She looked at the culprit who stole the book from her hands with surprise, and then revealed a smile: ”Seventh Prince, why did you come to visit so late at night?”

”To see my beautiful, dignified, and exceptionally intelligent consort.” Qing Shui didn't mind using all of his words on Qiao Liangjin at the moment.

Finished speaking, he sat down on the bed beside Qiao Liangjin and looked at Qiao Liangjin who was leaning on the blanket.

The faint yellow candle flame projected itself into her bright eyes, flickering like a deep abyss, causing him to be unwilling to draw away.

Long fingers caressed her smooth face. He smiled, and so did she.

The man in front of her had eyes that were like shooting stars as he smiled gently. His skin that was like snow, under the candlelight, seemed to have a different sort of allure.

His fingers were long and thin and warm. He was a natural pampered man, so his fingertips were not rough.

A single man and a single woman, sharing a room. At this moment, the night was so dark that even the candlelight flickered gently.

Of course, if he hadn't been squatting at the side watching the two of them, it would have been a wonderful night.

He saw two people looking at each other with affection in their eyes. He had cultivated for eight hundred years, so he still understood this point. As such, he transformed into a human form and crouched to the side.

Qiao Liangjin tilted her head slightly as she glanced at Yu Sheng, who was yawning by the side, and asked, ”Why are you squatting here instead of sleeping?”

”How do I get out?”

After clearing up, he grabbed onto the back of Yu Sheng's neck and walked to the door. After that, he threw him out and closed the door.

In the courtyard, Yu Sheng's ”Ao” sound could be heard as another door opened. A moment later, it closed again.

Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, stood up. She was wearing only a shirt as she sat at the round table.

She took out the letter she had hidden, then listed out the names she had written on the paper.

Su Bai walked over to the table and looked at the letter carefully. He then looked at the names again.

His beautiful brows slightly knit as he asked, ”Could it be that it has nothing to do with the Emperor?”

Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes at Qing Shui. Why didn't this little brother of her hurry up and wash her brother clean? She actually suspected the Emperor just like her.

However, she felt an indescribable happiness in her heart. Her finger slightly traced across the letter, and the faint smile on her face betrayed her current state of mind.

He shook his head and said, ”Great Sima has always been a cautious and conservative person. How could he take the letter with the symbol of his residence and write such a letter to someone else?”

Qiao Liangjin nodded her head, ”Yes, no one would use something with such an obvious mark to collude with him.”

He put down the letter and pointed at Xiao Hu, who was lying on the table. ”I've already had someone investigate this in the barracks. This person didn't come back from the sky. They also reported him missing.”

”I don't believe that Xiao Hu is dead. He has already killed Qiao Ruoyin as many people wished, so he must be hiding somewhere right now. He will wait for this storm to die down, then come out and change his name and live.”

Qing Qing smiled, touched her nose, and thoughtfully said, ”Xiao Hu still has a sister-in-law in his family, and a nephew. The money he earns is all given to them.”

Qiao Liangjin also clicked on Xiao Hu's name and asked, ”What do you mean …”

”The secret guard sent me some news. He said that Xiao Hu has been together with this sister-in-law for a long time and that this child is also Xiao Hu's child.” So I've been looking for people to spy on them. ”

”Actually, what I'm most worried about is that someone already killed Xiao Hu and silenced him. If it were me who did this, I believe that only those who are dead would not reveal this secret.” Qiao Liangjin's tone was a bit sinister and filled with determination.

A clear and appreciative gaze swept across Qiao Liangjin's face. She was truly a witty woman.

”But what if Xiao Hu said he wrote this secret somewhere else? What if his sister-in-law does not see Xiao Hu and then spread the news? ”

”Then kill them all.” Qiao Liangjin gently touched her fist. She was using the thought of using Xiao Hu to kill Qiao Ruo Ying.

Xiao Hu's sister-in-law and son were still alive, which meant that even if they killed his entire family, they wouldn't be able to find out about this secret. Thus, they would finally spread the news.

That meant that this secret was in the hands of someone very important. If Xiao Hu's entire family died, then this secret would be exposed.

Qiao Liangjin gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at her face. She asked seriously: ”Can you help me with one thing?”

Su Qingqing spread out her palms, looking like she was extremely willing to serve you. She smiled and said, ”Of course.”

When the sky was about to brighten, the door finally opened. He walked out of the room full of energy and turned his head to wave goodbye.

Qiao Liangjin closed the door.
