C121 (1/2)
When Qiao Liangjin woke up, it was already past noon. She seemed to not remember what happened last night at all, so she called for Rulan, washed her face, and got dressed. She put on an angel dress, waved her arm and said, ”We are leaving, we are going to harass the Seventh Prince at the entrance of the palace!”
When the maids heard this, they were all stunned. As they looked at Qiao Liangjin, their faces were filled with love.
Qiao Liangjin saw that none of them moved, and looked at her foolish appearance, and laughed: ”What kind of expression are you guys showing? The Virgin Mary? We will set off now. Wait a moment, he will enter the palace. ”
Zi Yan could not bear to see that. She walked up and pulled Qiao Liangjin's sleeve, saying: ”Young miss ….” The prince, he … It's gone. ”
Qiao Liangjin's expression immediately turned sorrowful. She lowered her eyes and after a while, she said: ”I know …” But what if I did, and he came back? ”He used to hate my infatuated look the most …”
Hearing Qiao Liangjin's words, Ruo Lan couldn't help but burst into tears. Everyone in the courtyard started to sob softly.
Qiao Liangjin wiped her nose with her sleeve, raised her arm and shouted: ”What are we sad about? What are we crying for? We have to wait for that pervert to come back. He's so motherly, so what?
Qiao Liangjin swung her arm and shouted. She raised her delicate chin as tears rolled down her cheeks and slid down her face from the corner of her eyes. Then, they silently fell to the ground next to her thin cheeks.
The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. The sound of the wind and the faint rumbling could almost have caused the citizens of the Royal City to think it was summer if not for the thick cotton robe he was wearing and the coals burning in his house.
Very few people knew that the Seventh Prince had met with calamity. They only felt that there must be some kind of demon that had appeared out of nowhere due to the strange weather.
Qiao Liangjin stubbornly stood at the entrance of the Imperial Palace with her hands in her sleeves and her head lowered. She was thinking about how many mornings that coquettish man in red had once stood there, his red robes fluttering in the wind, bright red like blood. The corners of the robe fluttered in the wind, tied around her waist with a white jade belt. Her exquisite chin was slightly raised.
His thin lips were always slightly pursed as he looked at himself making a ruckus. It was hard to say what his emotions were. His eyes roamed around as he stared at Qiao Liangjin with a joyful expression.
Qiao Liangjin smiled as she thought about it. He knew that she had fallen into depravity. She had thought that it was unintentional, and that there was no need for him to be moved or moved by love.
She was wrong, she was too selfish. She took all that she had done for herself for granted. She had never even thought of repayment. As he gently touched his arm, the red Mandala's mark remained as clear as ever. This was probably the last memorial he left in the world.
Raising her head, after the thunder in the sky died down, large snowflakes started to float out, smashing onto her face one by one.
The onlookers had never seen Qiao Liangjin in such sorrow before. They thought they could see how she was going to take liberties with the new Minister. However, Qiao Liangjin just stood there, ignoring the officials who came and went.
It was only when Qiao Zheng left the imperial court and saw him standing alone at the spot where he used to enjoy standing that his heart ached. He went over to pull Qiao Liangjin and said in a small voice, ”Jin'er, your majesty the prince has his own destiny.”
Qiao Liangjin withdrew her somewhat unfocused gaze and finally focused on Qiao Zheng's face. She asked seriously, ”Father, you also feel that the sultry man is not dead, right?”
Qiao Zheng was dumbfounded, a sultry man? He smiled bitterly, ”Yes, his martial arts is one of the best in the five continents. How could something happen to him? So His Majesty decided to keep it a secret. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Liangjin's spirit was shaken again and she asked: ”Then …” ”The one who came to the capital was …”
”Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but His Majesty invited Grandmaster Guan Xing to take a look. The Grandmaster said that he can't see the Fate Plate clearly.” Qiao Zheng repeated the words of the emperor to Qiao Liangjin in a low voice.
These words gave Qiao Liangjin, who had fallen into despair, a sliver of hope. She wiped her face carelessly and suddenly broke into a smile. She wrapped her arms around Qiao Zheng's arm and walked towards the carriage with a smile.
This round of sorrow and joy caused Qiao Zheng to feel uneasy, thinking that his daughter had gone insane from the shock. Her previously sorrowful appearance had now become so lively and lively.
Qiao Liangjin got on the carriage. After the coachman put down the curtain and drove the carriage, Qiao Liangjin took a deep breath and said, ”I want to go to the Southern Kingdom.”
”Impossible!” When Qiao Zheng heard this, he immediately interrupted Qiao Liangjin.
”I want to go to the Southern Kingdom. I'm not discussing this with my father, but I'm informing him.” Qiao Liangjin's gaze was resolute as he looked at Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zheng was tongue-tied as he did not know what to say to persuade Qiao Liangjin. Last time, she went to Sheng Cheng alone and found Qiao Ruo Ying. It was not that he did not know.
He also knew that even though the daughter in front of him was usually very good at messing around, she never talked too much on big issues. He couldn't stop her from doing what she wanted to do.
Qiao Liangjin approached Qiao Zheng as if she was coaxing a child. She patted his arm and lightly rested her head on Qiao Zheng's shoulder, his voice becoming much softer. ”Father, I know that you are worried about your daughter. Your daughter is going to the Southern Kingdom, and it is unknown how long she will take to return.
