C135 (1/2)

Zi Yan was ironing her clothes. Hearing Qiao Liangjin's words, the iron in her hand paused for a moment before she smiled and said, ”Miss, you're thinking too much. Prince Ning has been working really hard these past few days.”

Qiao Liangjin's hand kept hitting the surface of the water as she replied lazily, ”Of course I know, but why am I here? Why am I sleeping here? And I keep dreaming that I'm going back myself. ”

Zi Yan put the iron aside and walked over. She passed the handkerchief to Qiao Liangjin and gently wiped her back. ”Miss, rest well and you will remember what happened.”

Qiao Liangjin nodded and then wrinkled her little face in frustration: ”Why did I come to the Southern Kingdom, why did I get a small leopard, why was I poisoned, why …” Why... There are so many reasons why they are in my mind. ”

When Zi Yan heard Qiao Liangjin's complaints, she couldn't help laughing out loud and said, ”Miss, let's not think about anything else that we can't think of. After all, you're awake now, aren't you?”

Qiao Liangjin nodded and smiled, ”That's true. Forget it, let's tidy up a bit before returning to the Royal City.”

After Qiao Liangjin was done packing, Ning Wang sent a butler to invite Qiao Liangjin to dinner.

Qiao Liangjin followed the butler to the back garden and saw a sea of flowers. In the middle of the sea of flowers was a white jade pavilion, which was surrounded by a goose-yellow cloth curtain.

As the butler led the way, Qiao Liangjin slowly walked towards the pavilion while stepping on the fragrant flowers that filled the courtyard.

When she saw Qiao Liangjin, she got up and welcomed him with a smile, ”You've been sleeping for the past few days and haven't eaten anything good. Thus, I had the chef I brought from the capital cook some delicacies for you to try.”

Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded and lightly smiled before sitting on the stone bench.

When the dishes were served, Qiao Liangjin discovered that all the delicacies on the table were taken from the Fragrant Sky Restaurant. She grabbed her chopsticks in shock and tried the dish, then gave a thumbs up and said, ”It's really delicious. ”Su …”

Qiao Liangjin inexplicably said one word before she stopped moving. She was a little doubtful. Su? What? Why did she blurt out this word?

After finishing the food in her mouth, Qiao Liangjin put down the chopsticks in her hand and smiled apologetically, ”I'm full, Ningxi.”

”You … ”I'm in a bad mood.” When Ning Xi heard that word, his palms started sweating, but he still looked at Qiao Liangjin indifferently.

Qiao Liangjin sighed, poked her temple and said: ”I don't know, but it seems that something went wrong here.” ”Oh right, I'm going back.”

Ning Ying's thick eyebrows slightly raised, and said with a voice that was not loud, ”Why are you going back? Now that Xuanyuan Kingdom has come to help the Southern Kingdom in the midst of the war between the two countries, I am afraid that the Eastern Kingdom would intercept you on the way if they knew that you were here. ”

Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and wiped her palms with a wet handkerchief. She stood up and walked to the side of the pavilion. Looking at the flower blooming in the courtyard, she said, ”Is there still time for me to be afraid?”

Ning Xi was speechless, that's right, his Qiao Liangjin had never been afraid, she was strong and independent, never relying on anyone, everything, as long as she thought of it, she would do it bravely, she would never care about her gains and losses, even if it meant paying her own life.

Ning Ying took a deep breath and shook his head. ”The Xuanyuan Nation has withdrawn their troops. Currently, our Southern Kingdom is in deep waters and in flames. I presume …” Right now, it will be very difficult for you to leave the Southern Kingdom. ”

Qiao Liangjin suddenly turned around and looked at Ning Ying in surprise. Her brain was working hard to tell her that Xuanyuan Kingdom had retreated, and the Southern Kingdom was isolated and without help. She was the daughter of the Prime Minister, or perhaps she could become a chess piece threatening Xuanyuan Kingdom to continue helping out.

Qiao Liangjin silently smiled, clapped and said, ”Truly a good chess piece. I sometimes think, Ning Xi, just what are you thinking about me? No wonder you used so much strength to save me. It should be because of my identity. ”

Ning Ying's pupils suddenly shrank. So that's how she thought of him. Ning Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head, ”Jin'er, you … Don't know my mother? ” Ning Ying stood up and was about to walk towards Qiao Liangjin.

However, unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin nimbly dodged him, walked to the entrance of the pavilion, and said without turning her head, ”Since you saved me, I will leave your palace in seven days. If you do not send me away in seven days, I will carve a bloody path out of this Southern Kingdom. ”Ning Ying, you know me. Since I've already said it, I will definitely do it.”

With that, he left the pavilion, leaving Ning Xi standing alone in the middle.

Zi Yan followed Qiao Lianjin back to his room and asked anxiously: ”Miss, will the prince put you under house arrest?”

The corner of Qiao Liangjin's lips curled up as she smiled and said: ”He dares?”

Late at night, Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and jumped onto the roof. She sat on the roof and looked towards the north. She thought of Qiao Zheng, thought of Qiao Ruo Ying, and thought of that rowdy family. She wanted to be alone … Although she didn't know who that person was, she knew that person was also in the Royal City.

Qiao Liangjin knew that Ning Xi must have changed his memory. Otherwise, why would that person be unable to rush into his mind?

Qiao Liangjin was staring blankly towards the north when she heard a voice from under the roof, ”Look at the moonlight. It's such a good mood. Why don't I come along as well and have a drink?”

When Qiao Liangjin heard about the wine, she was overjoyed. ”You're still waiting for me to invite you! Hurry up and come up!”

Red Dust stepped onto the roof and lightly walked to Qiao Liangjin's side and sat down. Qiao Liangjin examined his clothes and said, ”Why are there Resurrection Lily flowers on your clothes?”

Hong Chen asked in surprise, ”You actually know the Resurrection Lily?”

Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes at Hong Chen. She grabbed the wineskin in his hand, opened the lid, and straightforwardly drank a few mouthfuls. She then wiped her mouth and passed the wineskin to Hong Chen.
