"The fourth prince died because he overheard someone plotting to eradicate the prince beside Yuhua Lake!"

"He wanted to go back to remind the prince, but he accidentally exposed his traces, and was drowned in the lake and killed!"

"Lord Qiao, during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, I actually followed the second prince and heard with my own ears the conspiracy between him and Yu Zhaoyi!"

"There was a strange noise in the bushes at that time. I was worried that I would be discovered and ran away in a hurry. Obviously, the fourth prince was hiding in the bushes at that time."

"It's just that for some reason, the fourth prince did not drown as I saw in my dream, but survived safely."

"I didn't dream about some of the details, but I can probably piece together a truth using dreams and reality."

"I think the second prince must have someone tell the prince. In fact, the Holy One already knew the real cause of the fourth prince's death."

"It's just because the matter involved the second prince, and the Holy One was partial, so he raised it high and put it down gently, so that the fourth prince died in vain for no reason!"

"The prince was originally worried about the premature death of the fourth prince. Now that he has learned that the fourth prince was actually killed by someone, and the Holy One favored the second prince and allowed the fourth prince to die in vain, he almost lost his mind. !"

"Master Qiao, the emperor and the empress have long since left their hearts. Do you know how the fourth prince came to be?"

"The Holy Emperor was drunk and forced the Queen to be Princess Yuliu, so he became the Fourth Prince!"

"The Empress also suffered a lot and couldn't tell her. It wasn't until she lost the fourth prince that she was overcome with grief and finally let it slip."

"Lord Qiao, can you imagine how guilty, remorseful and desperate the prince felt when he learned everything?"

"It was under such circumstances that the Holy Emperor met with the Crown Prince, and after the meeting, the Holy Lord's first words were to ask why the Crown Prince coveted Princess Yuliu and defiled the harem!"

"Not even the second prince's informants heard the details of the subsequent confrontation between the Holy Emperor and the prince and his son."

"I think that even if you are as calm and intelligent as a prince, you may find it difficult to maintain your sanity in such a situation."

"The prince must have spoken fiercely that night, and he would not hesitate to disobey and contradict the Holy One, but he would also seek justice for the fourth prince!"

"After this night's meeting, the prince returned to the East Palace and was found dead on his couch early the next morning..."

"Master Qiao, I think that even if the above is different from the truth, there should not be a big deviation."

Qiao Zhongguo's face turned pale when he heard this. He had held on for so long, and now the fatigue and fatigue from a hard night's battle came to him.

He took a few steps back until his heels touched the table, and then he barely stood still.

"How...how could it be like this..."

Qiao Zhongguo covered his face with his hands, his eyes were sore, and he could hardly continue acting in front of Meng Guxue.

He knew that the sudden death of the prince was true, and he believed in Meng Guxue's current character, so what Meng Guxue just said should be the cruel truth!

What a gentle and kind prince the prince is. He respects the emperor and loves his father, respects his brothers and sisters, is kind and virtuous, and has the world in mind.

It was such a prince who could become a wise king and benefit the world, but he died at the hands of his biological father and the plan of a wolf-hearted thief!

There is a secret medicine in the palace that can make people die silently without detecting anything unusual.

The Holy One must have been so furious that night that he gave His Highness the poisonous wine!

Then...then what mood did His Highness have when he drank that cup of poisonous wine?

Afterwards, no one in the East Palace suffered, and the queen was not implicated. Did the prince reluctantly seek a life-saving grace for everyone before he died?

The road from the Imperial Study Room to the East Palace is so long. What was His Highness thinking when he walked alone on the palace road...

At this point in his thoughts, Qiao Zhongguo was already in tears.

He served in the army for half his life and fought bloody battles to defend the northern border. He witnessed with his own eyes the bones of many sons of the Yong Dynasty buried forever in that land.

The territory they had fought so hard to defend was handed over by the Holy Emperor to the traitors from the North!

Holy lord, holy lord!

I, Qiao Zhongguo, do not know the king well and have no defense against others. I deserve to die!

But how can you be worthy of the thousands of heroic souls who fearlessly die on the battlefield!

Meng Guxue was extremely surprised when she saw the tears rolling down Qiao Zhongguo's chin.

Mr. Qiao, does he believe what she said?

"Master Qiao, are you...are you okay?"

Qiao Zhongguo calmed down for a while, raised his sleeves and wiped his face. When he lowered his arms again, he pretended to smile lightly.

"Princess, the story you told is so shocking that I accidentally fell in love with it."

Upon hearing this, Meng Guxue hurriedly defended: "It's not a story! Mr. Qiao, this is true——"

"Princess, no matter what, your minister will pay attention to your words." Qiao Zhongguo added seriously.

Meng Guxue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt relieved when she saw Qiao Zhongguo's serious look.

She already has the filter of "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust" towards Qiao Zhongguo. In her heart, Qiao Zhongguo should be the most upright person in the world.

"Master Qiao, then I...continue?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded quickly when he heard this.

Meng Guxue knew that she would never see Qiao Zhongguo again when she went to Nanli Country, so she no longer concealed it!

"Master Qiao, you also saw that all the Second Prince's men in last night's battle were Northerners."

"King Jinyu of the Northern Kingdom is sincere to the second prince. King Jinyu is weak and has no offspring. Therefore, there are signs of civil strife in the Northern King's court."

"So King Jinyu has always wanted to take the second prince back and train him to be his successor."

"But the second prince aspired to the Yong Dynasty and refused to leave. In the end, King Jinyu had no choice but to compromise and hand over all the people trained in the Yong Dynasty to the second prince, hoping to support him to become the co-owner of the two countries!"

"It's just that the situation has changed drastically now, and the second prince has been frustrated again and again, so I think..."

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows and took over the conversation.

"So the princess thinks that the second prince is very likely to flee to the North after finding out that nothing can be done?"

Meng Guxue nodded heavily, "That's right!"

Qiao Zhongguo thought suddenly that if the second prince were really allowed to go to the Northern Kingdom, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain. Then there would be another war between the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom!

The people of the Northern Kingdom are persistent in their evil intentions, and this battle will be fought one day, but Qiao Zhongguo believes that there is still something to be done in the Northern King's court.

Even if this battle was to be fought, he hoped that the Yong Dynasty would pay the minimum price!

Last night, the second prince had taken blood under Jiaojiao's instructions. After returning, they were going to join forces with the prince to attack the second prince!

If by then it is determined that the second prince is not of the Holy Emperor's blood, wouldn't it be the end of his rope?

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo was instantly awe-inspiring.

No matter what, the Second Prince's retreat must be cut off!

Meng Guxue thought about it carefully this time and felt that she had said almost everything she needed to say.

In the dream, the Qiao family ended up with the whole family destroyed. Judging from the current situation, the Qiao family should have almost resolved it themselves.

Strangely enough, in her dream she could clearly feel that luck was on her and the second prince's side.

But now that she had broken up with the second prince, her luck seemed to be leaning towards the Qiao family.

Otherwise, how can we explain that Qiao Zhongguo was still unharmed after receiving the arrow last night?

This is like a divine help!

Meng Guxue has no intention to pry into the secrets of the Qiao family now. She only hopes that the good deeds of the Qiao family will be rewarded with good deeds, and that the second prince's deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds.

As for her, I'm afraid she will have to spend the rest of her life in a battle of wits and courage with Baili Chengyou.

If one day, she can take Xiaotao far away, maybe she can also enjoy real freedom!

Seeing that Meng Guxue was speechless, Qiao Zhongguo took the initiative and asked:

"Princess, since you know everything, I have a question, could you please answer it for me?"

Meng Guxue was slightly surprised when she heard this. Qiao Zhongguo seemed to really believe her.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Qiao, I will tell you everything I know."

Qiao Zhongguo immediately mentioned the young dead man in the capital and carefully relayed what Qiao Tianjing said in the letter.

"Princess, this is the situation. Have you ever seen this force in your dreams? Or do you know where the second prince has hidden them?"

Meng Guxue was a little shocked when she heard this, "Young dead soldier?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded. Seeing that Meng Guxue had no clue, he changed his explanation:

"In other words, have you ever seen the second prince or the people around him adopt or buy or sell babies?"

The cultivation of dead soldiers is usually uninterrupted, because dead soldiers will become victims in most cases, so they are worn out quickly.

If the second prince needs a steady stream of dead soldiers to serve him, he will definitely continue to add "fresh blood"!

Meng Guxue didn't know what she thought of when she mentioned this, and her expression suddenly changed drastically.

"No...it can't be."

She slowly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Mr. Qiao, there is a large Tzu Chi Bureau in Daxing County, do you know?"

Qiao Zhongguo's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Princess, you mean..."

Meng Guxue nodded hurriedly, "The second prince once took me to the Tzu Chi Bureau. At that time, he told me that these children were homeless and very pitiful."

"The imperial court's allocation was not enough, so he would sponsor them from time to time. At that time, I made a lot of money for the second prince through business, and part of the funds continued to support the Tzu Chi Bureau."

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue shook her head in collapse.

"I...I didn't know that I was helping the evildoers!"

"I thought the second prince was doing good deeds. I didn't know that he took the money to train those children to become dead soldiers!"

Seeing Meng Guxue's excitement, Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly said: "Princess, this is just your dream, don't get too involved!"

Meng Guxue was startled when she heard this, and then her whole body relaxed suddenly, and the feeling of happiness slowly spread over her.

"Yes, yes! This is just a dream!"

At this moment, Meng Guxue couldn't help but feel terrified!

The deep love she thought she had in her dream was all a conspiracy!

Fortunately, fortunately she didn't choose the second prince this time!

Qiao Zhongguo secretly noted down the Tzu Chi Bureau. Once he had clues, it would be much easier to investigate!

This time, multiple crimes were exposed at the same time, and the second prince must be held tightly!

If when the time comes, the Holy One is still stubborn, Qiao Zhongguo, who will bear eternal infamy and be despised by the world, will help His Highness the Crown Prince - rebel!

Meng Guxue was still in a daze, and when she saw that she had brought everything she had said, she was ready to leave.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo suddenly bowed deeply to Meng Guxue sincerely.

Meng Guxue was startled and hurriedly avoided it.

"Master Qiao, why do you have to give such a great gift? I can't bear it! You also know that my title as a princess means nothing."

Qiao Zhongguo stood up after a long time and shook his head gently.

"I am not giving this gift to Princess Nanning, but to Miss Meng."

Meng Guxue opened her mouth slightly when she heard this.

Qiao Zhongguo said sincerely: "Miss Meng, thank you for your trust today. These secrets are very important to our Qiao family."

"Whether what Miss Meng said today is true or false, I, Qiao Zhongguo, will verify it one by one, and I will definitely live up to Miss Meng's wishes."

"Once upon a time..."

Qiao Zhongguo paused for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"Who doesn't have times when he's confused? Who doesn't have times when he's confused?"

"I, Qiao Zhongguo, have witnessed Miss Meng's growth with my own eyes. Miss Meng has never been ambiguous when it comes to matters of right and wrong."

Meng Guxue suddenly received Qiao Zhongguo's approval. While she was flattered, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Lord Qiao, I am not...a failure in life, right?"

Qiao Zhongguo smiled and shook his head, "Of course not. What Miss Meng said frankly today may change many things and save many lives."

"Not only that, I believe that with Miss Meng's ability, she will have great potential no matter where she goes in the future!"

This sentence means something Qiao Zhongguo meant.

He knew that Meng Guxue was a soul from another world, and like Jiaojiao, she had a lot of knowledge about other worlds in her mind.

If Baili Chengyou can treat Meng Guxue sincerely, who knows that the two of them will have a good relationship in the future?

If Meng Guxue insists on leaving Nanli Country, the world is huge. As long as you have the ability, why not worry about living a free and happy life!

Meng Guxue didn't expect that she would be praised so highly by Qiao Zhongguo.

She endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold back the tears.

She thought she was useless...

"Thank you Sir Qiao for your kind words. If possible, can you ask Sir Qiao for a favor?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded, "Miss Meng, please speak."

Meng Guxue wiped her tears and said warmly: "Master Qiao, after you return to Beijing, I want to ask you to take care of my mother."

"I'm a person who doesn't live up to expectations. I've made her worry a lot. Now that I'm going to Nanli Country, I may never go back in this life. I know she must be feeling very uncomfortable."

"If my incompetent father commits something stupid, let him be, but I would like to ask Mr. Qiao to help me protect my mother. If my mother is willing, please send her to Qingzhou."

She could tell that Mrs. Meng was very happy with her relatives in Qingzhou. Maybe she would live a happier and more comfortable life in Qingzhou.

Qiao Zhongguo sighed in his heart and nodded heavily.

"Miss Meng, I agree."

At this point, Meng Guxue no longer had any worries.

She nodded gratefully to Qiao Zhongguo, "That's it. Thank you Sir Qiao. I also hope that Sir Qiao will go well and get what he wishes."

Meng Guxue opened the curtain and walked out. Xiaotao stood outside with a slightly worried look. When she saw Meng Guxue, she hurriedly greeted her happily.

"Miss!"

Meng Guxue showed a bright smile to Xiao Tao, took her hand and walked briskly.

At this time, the sun was rising and shining brightly.

Qiao Zhongguo stood by the tent and saw Meng Guxue walking firmly into the morning sunshine.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

I also wish Meng Guxue happiness and success in this trip, and everything goes well!

Back in the tent, Qiao Zhongguo's mood fluctuated and he could not calm down for a long time.

He thought a lot, seemed to have thought of something, and went to look for Meng Guxue.

After getting the answer, he returned to the account and wrote down everything that happened last night and what Meng Guxue said.

In the afternoon, the left deputy general sent a detailed list of casualties.

"Master Qiao, there are a lot of corpses hidden in Liu's village! It can be seen that those thieves from the North have played a trick of substituting others. This is a premeditated and evil intention!"

Qiao Zhongguo had expected this, and finally wrote a letter to Emperor Yong after taking over the roster.

In addition to carefully explaining last night's battle, the letter also informed the second prince of his injuries in detail. Finally, in addition to a list of casualties, there was also a letter of guilt and resignation.

In the evening, Qiao Liu, Qiao Eleven and five other secret guards dressed up in disguise and hurried to the capital!

————

Five days later, the time came to April 17th.

At this time, it was less than a month before the prince's wedding.

Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting on the couch, trying to make Mrs. Qiao happy.

Mrs. Qiao has been worried about her trip to Nanli, but she doesn't want to cause trouble to her two children, so she keeps it in her heart.

Qiao Jiaojiao woke up from a dream in the middle of the night two days ago, only to find that her mother was not around.

She looked up and saw that her mother was looking at the wood carvings her father had made by candlelight.

She vaguely saw tears hanging on her mother's cheeks, and she felt heartbroken.

"Mom, you are so greedy and want to eat hibiscus cake!"

Qiao Jiaojiao pointed to her small mouth with a pitiful look on her face.

Mrs. Qiao was lost in thought. She turned her head when she heard this, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Okay, whatever Jiaojiao wants to eat, Mom will have it cooked for you."

Mrs. Qiao was about to call Nanny Liu, but at this moment, Nanny Liu happily walked in from outside the house and whispered:

"Madam! Your Excellency has received a letter!"

Mrs. Qiao stood up with a "huh", her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Seriously?"

Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly, "Madam, it's true! The eldest young master has received the letter, and he and the young madam are coming this way right now!"

【Very good! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately slipped off the couch and went straight out to greet him.

【It must be good news! That's right! 】

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao walked out of the main courtyard, she saw her elder brother and sister-in-law walking towards this side with a smile!

[Look at the expression on the eldest brother's face, dad and the second brother must be safe and sound! 】

At this moment, the worry and anxiety in Qiao Jiaojiao's heart finally came to an end.

Qiao Tianjing stepped forward, picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, and the family went into the house and sat down together.

Qiao Tianjing took out the letter and saw everyone looking at him eagerly, so he quickly started reading it warmly.

This was another letter written by Qiao Zhongguo. The letter did not reveal any secrets, nor did it mention the dangers and dangers of that night. It just reported that it was safe and talked about some scenery and interesting things along the way.

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, although she knew that Qiao Zhongguo never reported good news but not bad news, the big stone in her heart was finally lifted.

Qiao Tianjing smiled and comforted Mrs. Qiao, but glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao calmly.

When Qiao Jiaojiao received the look, her heart moved involuntarily.

[Oh haha, it seems that dad has sent other news back! received! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao thought like this and raised her eyebrows at Qiao Tianjing.

Snapped--

At this time, Hanya suddenly stood up suddenly for some reason, and even turned over the tea cup at hand because of her haste.

"Xian'er!"

Qiao Tianjing and Mrs. Qiao were startled and hurriedly got up to see her.

Qiao Jiaojiao also hurriedly ran out on her short legs to check.

【Scared me! Are you okay, sister-in-law? 】

"Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Tianjing saw Hanya Xian's face turning pale and asked hurriedly.

Hanya Xian glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao in shock, then quickly looked away, her hand under her sleeve tightly squeezing Qiao Tianjing.

"No...I'm fine."

Mrs. Qiao gave Qiao Tianjing a reproachful look.

"Da Lang, did you fail to take good care of Xian'er?"

"Mom knows, those business matters are so busy and chaotic, Xian'er must be tired."

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately nodded in agreement.

[It seems that the eldest brother still needs to find reliable talents. The business is getting bigger and bigger now. If the eldest sister-in-law takes care of everything, she will definitely be affected. 】

At this time, Hanya Xian's whole body froze again, and she hurriedly denied it after a while.

"No, mother, it's not about business, it's... I was just thinking about something."

Mrs. Qiao held Hanya Xian's hand with some distress, "Just protect Da Lang and let him help you go back to rest. Now that we know that Nan Li and his party are safe and sound, we can feel at ease."

Hanya Xian did not refuse and nodded immediately.

She really had something to say and couldn't wait to tell Qiao Lang!

Before Qiao Tianjing left, he glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao again, and Qiao Jiaojiao immediately blinked intelligently.

[Looks like I have to go to the study to wait for my brother early! 】

Qiao Tianjing helped Hanya Xian walk back. The couple just entered the house and saw no one around. Hanya hurriedly whispered:

"Qiao Lang! I...I seemed to hear my little sister's voice just now! No, my little sister didn't open her mouth at that time! I...I mean, I seemed to hear my little sister's voice. The voice of my heart!"

Hanya Xian finished speaking in one breath, and Qiao Tianjing looked shocked.

"Xian'er, are you serious?"

Hanya Xian nodded with absolute certainty and said excitedly:

"Really! Did you wink at my little sister just now? What was she saying in her heart, 'Get it, get it'!"

Qiao Tianjing opened his mouth slightly.

Xian'er really heard it!

But what's going on? Why can Xianer suddenly be heard?

Hanya Xian walked all the way back. At this moment, her mood was almost calm. After the shock, she felt extremely excited.

"Qiao Lang, that's great, now I can hear it too! Does this mean that my little sister recognizes me as my sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart?"

Qiao Tianjing shook his head when he heard this.

"Xian'er, I don't understand either, but there is something you said wrong. My little sister has recognized you as my sister-in-law from the very beginning, and my little sister thinks highly of you."

"Really?"

Hanya Xian looked happy, and then said expectantly:

"I want to listen to it again tonight when I go to my mother's place for dinner!"

"Don't worry, Qiao Lang. I was too surprised just now and was a little scared. From now on, I promise to remain calm no matter what I hear!"

Qiao Tianjing curled his lips in amusement upon hearing this.

Although I don't know the reason, as a "little cotton-padded jacket", the little girl has indeed leaked air everywhere.

"Qiao Lang, didn't you make an appointment with my little sister to discuss something in the study? Go quickly, don't delay!"

Hanya Xian thought of this and hurriedly urged her.

Qiao Tianjing nodded gently, "Xian'er, then you have a good rest. I'll be back when I'm done."

After Qiao Tianjing left, Hanya Xian immediately turned to the bedside and took out a small book.

She turned to the latest page and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was two days late!

It was obviously very accurate in the past...

At this moment, Hanya Xian stood there blankly, her face suddenly turned red and her whole body felt hot.

Actually...it's really like this...

On the other side, when Qiao Tianjing came to the study, Qiao Jiaojiao, a clever little girl, had been waiting here for a long time.

"Brother, you are finally here! Hurry up!"

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't wait to know the news about Qiao Zhongguo.

At this time, Qiao Tianjing also looked serious and called Qiao Liu in.

Qiao Liu was already prepared. Seeing Qiao Tianjing's presence, he immediately took out a thick envelope from his arms.

"Young Master, this is the letter that the general ordered to give only to you."

Qiao Liu fished it into his arms and carefully took out a small bottle.

"The second young master gave this to his subordinates. He said it was more important than his life, but it made the subordinates worried all the way."

Qiao Liu said as he walked forward and gently placed the bottle on the desk.

There can't be any mistakes with this bottle, otherwise the second young master will fight him tooth and nail when he comes back!

The moment Qiao Jiaojiao saw the bottle, her eyes lit up!

[It's the second prince's blood, right? Second brother is awesome! 】

"By the way, young master, the general also wrote a book for the saint at the same time. It should be presented to the emperor soon."

Qiao Tianjing knew it well, nodded with a smile, and let Qiao Liu go back to rest after a long journey.

When they were the only two brothers and sisters left in the room, Qiao Tianjing gently picked up the small bottle, and Qiao Jiaojiao quickly stepped forward.

Qiao Tianjing just opened the stopper, and a bloody smell instantly filled the air.

He shook it and thought, oh, half a bottle!

Qiao Jiaojiao: (≖‿≖)✧

Hey hey hey, second brother is awesome!

After Qiao Tianjing put the bottle of blood away properly, the two of them finally opened the letter and read it.

Qiao Zhongguo wrote this letter very carefully. When he read about the horror of that night, Qiao Jiaojiao felt as if he was immersed in the scene, and his breathing became rapid.

It wasn't until everything was settled in the letter that Qiao Jiaojiao showed a relieved smile.

This is the first half of the letter, and the closing sentence is:

"What I will say later is top secret."

Qiao Jiaojiao and Qiao Tianjing immediately looked at each other, feeling anxious and expectant in their hearts.

As the content of the second half came into view, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao showed the same look of horror, and they both exclaimed at the same time!

After reading the last word, there was silence in the study.

Qiao Jiaojiao never thought that such a shocking truth was hidden in the darkness that was not described in the original work!

When she first met Emperor Yong, she just made a random joke about whether Emperor Yong was the murderer of the prince.

Unexpectedly, I hit the nail on the head that day, it was so creepy!

"Little sister, dad said in the letter that he has obtained Meng Guxue's consent to tell His Highness the Crown Prince these three secrets."

"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Big brother will send someone to spread the news now. Little sister, wait for me here."

Qiao Tianjing stood up and went out.

In order to facilitate communication, the prince left someone in Qiao's mansion. The matter was important, so Qiao Tianjing decided to go and talk about it in person!

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded quickly and read the letter over and over again while Qiao Tianjing left.

【Terrible, too scary! 】

[Although it is not uncommon for emperors in ancient times to kill their sons, when this matter is so close to me, I still find it incredible! 】

[Now I really have to thank Meng Guxue. Things like this that didn't happen are so mysterious. Although I know some of the truth, I suffer from lack of reason and opportunity to speak out. 】

[Now through Meng Guxue's mouth, this matter was brought to the prince's face so carefully. Regardless of whether the prince believed it or not, he was on guard after all. 】

[And Meng Guxue happened to go to Nanli Country again this time, which was actually a kind of protection for her. 】

[No wonder her father praised her highly in the letter. It seems that she has really changed a lot. 】

[I don't know what her life will be like in the future. Once all the troubles in Beijing are resolved, I also want to see the world! 】

[At that time, maybe we can go to Nanli Country, ask for news about Meng Guxue, and see the big, big flowers that daddy said! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao is full of longing for the future and is sincerely happy for Meng Guxue's change!

————

At this time, another letter written by Qiao Zhongguo was also successfully delivered to Emperor Yong.

Huang Pei stood by respectfully and saw that Sheng Shangfang was very happy when he just received the letter, but now his face was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Huang Pei, hurry up and tell the prince and Tan Xiuzhan to come see you!"

Emperor Yong's voice was deep and full of displeasure!

"yes!"

Huang Pei was excited and hurried out of the imperial study room.

He knew that if Nanli and his party had a second prince, there would be no peace!

Oops, are you going to implicate Mr. Qiao this time?

Ever since Huang Pei learned that the second prince's life experience was suspicious, he felt a thorn in his heart.

He was loyal to the Holy One, even if he was asked to block swords and arrows for the Holy One, or die for the Holy One, he would not hesitate at all.

But the Great Yong Dynasty was conquered by the late Emperor with great efforts. The late Emperor was kind to him and gave him to the Holy One.

What if the second prince is really not of the Holy Emperor's blood, and if the Holy Emperor still favors the second prince so much, then... what should we do?

But let him tell the Holy One this suspicion, and he has no one to prove it and no physical evidence. Isn't this a waste of money?

Huang Pei sighed in his heart, this matter is really going to worry him, an old slave!

When the prince and Tan Hanchi arrived, Huang Pei hurriedly welcomed them in.

At this time, the prince had not yet contacted the secret guards who had gone out of the Qiao Mansion, but had received news in advance that Qiao Zhongguo had returned from the southern border.

Now seeing Emperor Yong's face, the prince knew that something bad had happened.

"Father, are you urgent to summon your son?"

Emperor Yong frowned and said in a cold voice: "The marriage convoy was attacked by bandits at the junction of the two countries, and there were also shadows of bandits from the North!"

"The second son was seriously injured. Now the team is resting on the spot. Qiao Zhongguo is here to inquire about the follow-up arrangements."

When the prince heard this, he immediately caught the key point and asked with a "worried look on his face": "Second brother is injured? Where is the injury? Is there a good doctor with the team?"

Emperor Yong felt relieved when he saw that the prince cared so much about the second prince.

"The injury was on the shoulder and was pierced by a dagger. Qiao Zhongguo invited General Guo's men to break the situation. Now only the military doctor is by his side."

Having said this, Emperor Yong couldn't help but frowned worriedly.

When the prince heard this, his thoughts changed slightly, and he immediately said:

"Father, the marriage convoy is almost entering the Nanli border. It's better for Mr. Qiao to escort the second brother back as soon as possible."

"Penetrating injuries are nothing to play with. Besides, my second brother is such a delicate person. He has already suffered a lot along the way."

"I want you to tell me that the imperial doctor must be sent to respond as soon as possible. The sooner the better!"

The traitor from the north appeared so strangely, and the second brother wanted to use a trick to win sympathy, so he decided to send the best doctor to treat his injury!

It is not advisable for the injured to run around. They will travel slowly. It will take at least half a month before they return to Beijing, and the wounds should heal.

By then, the big show in Beijing will almost begin!

Emperor Yong heard the prince's words and nodded in approval.

"That's right, the military doctor is not good enough after all, so let Zou Qi hurry up and rush there."

The prince's expression did not change when he heard this, but he chuckled in his heart.

Zou Qi is my father's most useful imperial physician. He did not hesitate to send someone here, which shows how much my father loves his second brother.

If it were in the past, the prince might still have troubles in his heart, but now, he has long been indifferent.

"Look at this!"

Emperor Yong's tone suddenly rose, seeming to contain anger.

Huang Pei hurriedly handed what Emperor Yong pointed out to the prince.

The prince only glanced at it and then his expression changed. Tan Hanchi came forward and was shocked after reading it!

What they saw was a letter of guilt written by Qiao Zhongguo himself!

Emperor Yong snorted coldly: "What does Qiao Zhongguo mean? Is he trying to make progress by retreating, forcing me to resign, and not letting me hold him accountable for his inability to protect him?"

"He has been on the battlefield for a long time and has strong martial arts skills. He was asked to escort a mere marriage convoy, but there was such a big mistake and the second child was seriously injured! Shouldn't I pursue him?"

The more Emperor Yong spoke, the more serious his tone became, and he looked very angry.

The prince's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his heart was filled with sadness.

In fact, Mr. Qiao had already made it clear to him before setting off that he wanted to take the blame and resign.

He couldn't bear to lose such a loyal minister and general, so he immediately tried to persuade him to stay, but Master Qiao said:

"Your Highness, it is not because I am willing to give up my ambition, but it is because I have...let it go. When the time comes when I write a letter of guilt, Your Highness will understand my difficulties."

The prince lowered his head and read the letter of sin again. In the letter, Mr. Qiao spoke sincerely and fully stated his sins of dereliction of duty. He was obviously so sincere.

However, my father speculated that Mr. Qiao threatened to resign and wanted to escape the blame...

It turns out that my father is already so suspicious and afraid of Master Qiao?

The traces of the traitor from the Northern Kingdom mentioned in the letter are suspicious, and everything seems strange. Shouldn't my father give priority to pursuing this matter?

The prince felt sad in his heart and thought to himself: Is this what is often said in the history books: "When all the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden"?

But in his heart, he believed in the saying: Don't use people you doubt, and don't trust people you employ!

"Father, Mr. Qiao should have realized that he had done something wrong, so he wrote this self-incriminating letter and sincerely apologized to Father."

Emperor Yong was still angry and was startled when he heard this.

"Zhan'er, do you mean that Qiao Zhongguo really wants to resign?"

After Emperor Yong finished speaking, he suddenly glanced at Tan Hanchi behind the prince.

Tan Hanchi calmly nodded to Emperor Yong, indicating that he recognized the prince's statement.

When Emperor Yong saw this, there was a hint of astonishment on his brows, and he suddenly stopped talking.

After a long time, he waved his hand.

"That's all, please step back first. I still have to think about this matter carefully."

Seeing that Emperor Yong never mentioned "thieves from the Northern Kingdom" from beginning to end, the prince glanced at the confession in his hand and sighed in his heart:

"Lord Qiao, today I know where your passion has been put by my father..."

The prince returned to the East Palace and Tan Hanchi went to the Hanlin Academy. The two separated halfway.

But before Tan Hanchi had gone very far, a little father-in-law suddenly caught up with him out of breath.

"Tan...Tan Xiu wrote it, at the invitation of the Holy One."

Tan Hanchi's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.

After returning to the imperial study, he found that the emperor had sent away the prince and only recalled him. Tan Hanchi felt like a mirror in his heart.

It seems that when it comes to dealing with the Qiao family, the Holy One is already wary of His Highness the Crown Prince!

why?

Is it because the fourth prince is close to the Qiao family that the Holy One believes that the prince is also on good terms with the Qiao family?

Or is it because the Holy One himself knows that the Qiao family is a loyal and loyal person, and his suspicions cannot be brought to the surface, nor can they be shown in front of the glorious prince?

"Your Majesty."

Tan Hanchi's thoughts were surging in his heart, but there was no sign of anything strange on his face.

Emperor Yong came down from his seat. His expression was unclear and he asked slowly:

"Ai Qing also thinks that Qiao Zhongguo really wants to resign?"

Tan Hanchi was secretly on guard. Faced with this question, he had discussed it with Mr. Qiao in advance.

So he bowed and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I see that the sinner's letter is sincere and I have no intention of evading it. I'm afraid that Mr. Qiao has already noticed that Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, Master Qiao is probably trying to protect himself wisely."

"Mingzhe protects himself?"

Emperor Yong repeated lightly and suddenly laughed.

"Qiao Zhongguo serves the country, the people, and me. He refused to accept the title of Duke of Zhenguo at the beginning and insisted on becoming a third-grade censor."

"He has such a stubborn temper, but now he actually knows how to protect himself?"

Tan Hanchi thought for a while and whispered: "Maybe... Mr. Qiao has a weakness."

When Emperor Yong heard this, he immediately remembered Qiao Zhongguo's reputation as a loving wife and daughter.

Recalling how he held his little daughter in his arms every time during the palace banquets and couldn't put it down, he couldn't help but sneered and shook his head.

"Ha, after all, people cannot remain static. Even the world-famous Qiao Zhongguo's bones became soft after being tied down."

"In this case, I will keep him!"

When Tan Hanchi heard this, he raised his head in surprise, but in an instant he understood Emperor Yong's convoluted thoughts.

They all thought that Emperor Yong wished that Qiao Zhongguo would resign and leave the court and fade out of the sight of the people.

But now Tan Hanchi thought about it, the mere crime of poor protection was nothing to the common people.

As time goes by, small mistakes will not matter. Master Qiao's past achievements and reputation will make him the most glorious image in the hearts of the people!

The Holy One is afraid of Lord Qiao because he is afraid of Lord Qiao's reputation and his almost perfect reputation!

Therefore, now that Mr. Qiao is guilty and has a weakness, the Holy One wants to keep Mr. Qiao, let him make mistakes, and let him be punished!

The Holy One wants to pull Mr. Qiao down from the "altar" step by step!

This is the Holy Emperor's inner scheming, which is more complicated and suspicious than they imagined!

"The Holy One is wise!"

Tan Hanchi seemed to have just come back to his senses and flattered him "sincerely":

"In this way, Master Qiao can not only continue to be used by the Holy One, but the Holy One can also... feel at ease."

Emperor Yong smiled meaningfully, "Just think of it as a reminder to Qiao Zhongguo."

"After this incident, if Qiao Zhongguo knows what's going on, he should know what to do."

"After all, I don't want to lose such a capable minister."

Tan Hanchi nodded in agreement, but his heart was extremely cold.

The Holy Spirit is... forcing Mr. Qiao to slander his reputation!

After Emperor Yong got the idea, he asked Tan Hanchi to retreat.

At this time, Huang Pei was the only confidant left in the imperial study.

Emperor Yong leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be tired.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Huang Pei, this northerner appears strangely..."

Huang Pei was agitated, nodded and bowed, pretending to be ignorant.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This old slave is stupid. I really can't understand why this northerner came to the border between Yong Dynasty and Nanli Kingdom."

Emperor Yong suddenly stood up and tapped his finger on the letter written by Qiao Zhongguo.

Huang Pei was so close that when he raised his eyes, he saw that Emperor Yong's fingertips had landed on three words -

"Your Highness"!

Huang Pei's heart trembled slightly.

So, is the Holy One really unaware of anything?

The prince returned to the East Palace, and the secret guard Dongqing had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness, news has arrived from the Qiao family!"

The prince's face suddenly became serious, "Come in and explain in detail."

Holly followed suit and whispered:

"Your Highness, the order was personally delivered by the eldest son of the Qiao family. There are two major pieces of news."

"First, the blood has been taken, so His Highness should act as soon as possible. Second, His Highness must find an opportunity to leave the palace to see me. The Qiao family has top-secret matters to report."

"The eldest son of the Qiao family also asked that Master Qiao just send a message to the Holy One. If His Highness goes to the Qiao family to meet immediately, it may be harmful to His Highness, so the meeting place can be at Dingguo Duke's Mansion."

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Da Lang did things properly.

In the imperial study just now, my father had already mentioned Mr. Qiao that it was really not appropriate for him to go to Qiao Mansion these days.

However, he and the eldest daughter of the Xiao family are getting married soon, and they are indeed in close contact now, so it is reasonable to go to Duke Dingguo's mansion to send something.

"Dongqing, please send a message to Dalang and make an appointment for me to be there after the court tomorrow morning!"

After Dongqing was ordered to leave, the prince sat down for a while, then got up and went to Yikun Palace.

————

Near dinner time, the palace attendants around the empress came to the imperial study to ask for an audience.

Huang Pei went out to see her in person, and his eyes widened when he learned that it was the empress who invited the saint to have dinner at Yikun Palace.

"Just wait."

Huang Pei entered the imperial study, and Emperor Yong's review of the memorials had come to an end.

Huang Pei said softly: "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone to ask, Your Majesty, would you like to have dinner at Yikun Palace?"

When Emperor Yong heard this, he suddenly raised his head from the case, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Are you sure she's the queen?"

Ever since he said those decisive words to the queen for Yu Liu, he had not eaten at Yikun Palace for more than ten years.

Huang Pei smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, she is the Queen!"

Seeing that Emperor Yong looked at the candlelight and hesitated to speak, Huang Pei hesitated for a while and finally spoke to persuade:

"Your Majesty, just think that this old slave is talking too much. If he makes a mistake, you can punish me no matter what."

"I feel that the Queen, who is so strong, has now taken the initiative to surrender to the Holy One. Why don't you give the Queen some thin noodles?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty has managed the harem in an orderly manner for so many years and has never disturbed Your Majesty in the slightest. This is no small feat!"

Emperor Yong frowned slightly when he heard this, and was obviously a little moved.

But he was a tough talker, so he said without saltiness: "Huang Pei, are you, an old slave, taking advantage of the queen? Why are you speaking for the queen today?"

Huang Pei quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh, Your Majesty, you have really wronged this old slave."

"I just look at these days. The relationship between the Holy One and the Queen has eased a lot. I am happy for the Holy One!"

"Perhaps it's because His Highness the Crown Prince's marriage has been decided, and I immediately became excited when I saw the Queen."

"Your Majesty, you don't know that all the servants have seen it. You and the empress are sitting together to discuss the wedding of His Royal Highness, with smiles on your faces!"

Emperor Yong turned his head in surprise when he heard this, "Seriously?"

Huang Pei nodded hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, how dare I lie to you? In fact, you are also happy in your heart, aren't you?"

The emperor and the empress were a young couple, and they were deeply in love back then. If it hadn't been for the appearance of Concubine Jade...

Forget it, let's not mention the past!

The second prince's identity was in doubt, so he naturally tried his best to push the emperor towards the empress and the prince.

Otherwise, if you accidentally betray your country, wouldn't it be a huge sin?

Emperor Yong was finally persuaded, not only because he trusted Huang Pei, but he also had some expectations in his heart.

"Then... then let's go to Yikun Palace and have a look!"

Emperor Yong suddenly stood up, walked around the long case and walked out.

Huang Pei felt happy and hurriedly followed him.

On the way to Yikun Palace, Huang Peisheng was afraid that Emperor Yong would regret it, so he made some jokes from time to time.

Emperor Yong looked at the palace in the distance, feeling a little nervous in his heart for no reason.

He rarely goes to Yikun Palace at this time. Is the Queen... waiting for him?

Stepping into the gate of Yikun Palace, the palace people knelt on the ground, and the queen came out to welcome her.

Under the candlelight, the queen was dressed in regular clothes, looking casual and gentle, which made Emperor Yong stunned.

Ever since...ever since that year, the queen had always been dressed in fancy clothes in front of him, cold and distant.

He almost forgot that he and the Queen were once so close and casual.

"Okay, everyone, please step aside."

The queen spoke warmly, and everyone retreated with cheers, leaving only Huang Pei who was serving with him.

"Your Majesty, please."

The queen smiled lightly, not too close, but much gentler than usual.

Emperor Yong nodded blankly, walked ahead and entered the main hall, and saw a sumptuous dinner table at a glance.

The emperor and empress took their seats. Emperor Yong raised his eyes and looked over. The table was full of his favorite dishes...

"Queen, you..."

Emperor Yong didn't seem to expect that after so many years, the queen would still remember his preferences.

The queen stood up and served the dishes to Emperor Yong in person. She did not look at Emperor Yong, but said warmly:

"Your Majesty, my concubine's behavior today is a bit unexpected. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's just that Zhan'er's wedding is coming soon. You have given Zhan'er a good marriage. I am grateful in my heart and don't want to be so cold-faced with the Holy Father again."

Emperor Yong suddenly frowned when he heard this, and blurted out: "So the Queen's hard work today is all for Zhan'er?"

The queen was slightly startled when she heard this. Although her expression remained unchanged, she was actually feeling sick in her heart.

By asking this question, could it be possible that the Holy One still thought that her old relationship was over? He doesn't even look at how many disgusting things he has done!

If it wasn't for the blood...that's all, it's all for the blood, hold on!

The queen lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to be sad.

"Your Majesty, these dishes...are all cooked by my own hands. Doesn't this show my concubine's thoughts and sincerity?"

Emperor Yong was greatly moved when he heard this, "Did you make these yourself, Queen?"

The queen nodded slowly and said warmly: "It took more than two hours."

That's weird!

She just sat in the imperial dining room for two hours!

The man in front of her was no longer worth her trouble!

Emperor Yong was slightly touched, and his eyebrows softened.

"In that case, let's have a meal."

The queen specially poured wine for Emperor Yong, "Your Majesty, I haven't had a drink with your Majesty for I don't know how long it has been."

Emperor Yong was filled with emotion, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The Queen poured the wine again, and Emperor Yong refused to accept anyone who came, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a moment.

Seeing that there was no need for him, Huang Pei retreated with crooked eyebrows and quietly stood guard at the entrance of the palace.

That's great. If the emperor and empress can continue to be in such harmony, the status of His Royal Highness will definitely be stable.

He, an old slave, doesn't have to worry, he can probably live a few more years...

That night, Emperor Yong stayed in Yikun Palace for the first time in nearly ten years. The whole palace was shocked when they heard the news!

Early the next morning, Emperor Yong was woken up from his sleep.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up. You can't miss the morning meeting."

Emperor Yong, who was sleepy-eyed, suddenly saw the queen's face clearly and sat up with a sigh.

At this time, he felt a faint tingling in his neck, but it disappeared quickly.

However, Emperor Yong didn't care about this little strange feeling at this time. He didn't expect that he was drunk last night!

Last night, the queen chatted with him about the past in the palace and when Zhan'erfang was born. He felt so much emotion that he couldn't help but drink several more drinks.

Huang Pei, who was guarding outside the hall, heard the noise and hurriedly called people into the hall to wash themselves.

Emperor Yong's eyes followed the queen.

He was drunk last night and was already unconscious. They shouldn't have...

The queen personally stepped forward to dress Emperor Yong. Maybe it was the candlelight, maybe it evoked too many beautiful memories last night, and Emperor Yong suddenly raised his hand to caress the queen's cheek.

The queen's movements suddenly froze, and Emperor Yong's rationality returned instantly, and he immediately put down his hand.

He took a step back, put on his clothes in a few moments, and strode outside.

"I have gone to court. The Queen just needs to have a good rest."

Huang Pei bowed to the queen who was stunned on the spot, and hurried to follow her, still full of joy in her heart.

Very good!

After this night, the emperor and the empress might get back together!

The people in the palace filed out, and only the queen's confidant, Aunt Mei, remained among them.

The queen remained frozen in place until she was sure that everyone was gone, then she couldn't help but bend over and vomited violently.

Aunt Mei was startled, and hurriedly followed the queen's back, whispering: "Empress, are you okay?"

The Queen's eyes were red from vomiting, her stomach was burning, and her right hand tightly grasped Aunt Mei's arm.

After gradually calming down, the queen immediately ran to the side, grabbed the silk in the basin and wiped her right face desperately!

nausea!

She felt so disgusting!

Seeing the Queen's almost masochistic behavior, Aunt Mei hurriedly knelt aside, tightly held the Queen's arm, and said with suppressed cries:

"Your Majesty! My Majesty, please don't do this!"

Aunt Mei has been serving the Queen, and she has watched with her own eyes the Queen's transformation from the young lady in her boudoir to the motherly queen she is now. No one in the world understands the hardships and grievances the Queen has endured better than her!

This time, if it were not for the purpose of helping His Highness the Crown Prince, the empress would never have surrendered to the Holy Lord, nor would she have been able to get close to the Holy Lord in the slightest!

"Mother, please don't do this! Please take care of yourself!

"If...if His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Fourth Highness see you like this, they don't know how distressed they would be!"

This sentence touched the Queen's weakness.

The movements in her hands suddenly stopped, and she stood there, tears rolling down in an instant.

Aunt Mei felt very distressed and gently wiped away the queen's tears, comforting her with her warm voice as always.

The Queen gradually calmed down. She wiped her face and wiped away all the weakness and grievances. She became strong and decisive again!

"Mommy, have you sent it out?"

Aunt Mei nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty, this servant has already handed the things to Dongqing as you ordered and asked him to send them to Qiao's house immediately."

The queen looked calmer after hearing this, "That's good."

She had added medicine to the wine last night, but the dosage was very light, and it would only make the Holy Father sleep deeply enough that he would not notice anything.

The blood was immediately sent out of the palace as soon as it was taken out. She was worried that it would be useless if it took too long.

But Zhan'er said that the Qiao family got a recipe from Nanli Country, which was very useful, and that's how the blood of the second child was brought back.

Thinking about it this way, there should be no problem.

The queen looked stunned and felt uneasy.

Now, I don't know what the outcome will be...

Qiao Jiaojiao and Qiao Tianjing stayed in the study tonight.

Because the prince sent a message in the afternoon that the queen would take the blood tonight and send it to Qiao's house as soon as it was obtained.

Qiao Jiaojiao had already prepared in her heart. Emperor Yong's blood was probably about to solidify when it was delivered, so Gongde Mall had to take action.

Fortunately, she is now a "little rich woman". The pills and talismans given to her father and second brother during the trip to Nanli must have played a vital role.

Only when she took a look today did she realize that it had actually added 300 points of merit to her!

In this way, she has 895 points of merit!

Today was the first time in her life that she stayed up late. Although she was yawning profusely, her energy was extremely high!

Because, she is about to reveal a shocking secret that was never written in the original novel!

"Little sister, don't you really want to sleep for a while first?"

Qiao Tianjing considers himself to be strong and strong, so it doesn't matter if he endures it for a while, but Qiao Jiaojiao is sleeping soundly and growing taller.

Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head, "Brother, I have to wait! If I can't stand it anymore, I'll go to sleep!"

Qiao Jiaojiao really couldn't bear it, because not long after she said these words, she fell asleep on the couch.

When she opened her eyes again, she was shaken awake by Qiao Tianjing.

"Little sister, the blood is coming!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was a little dazed in her sleep, "Blood? What... blood!"

She sat up and woke up instantly.

щ(゜ロ゜щ)

"Ahhh! Blood! Where is the blood!"

Qiao Tianjing shook the small bottle in front of him, "Not much. Although it was delivered as quickly as possible, it still doesn't seem to work."

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately took the bottle, "It's okay, brother, I've already prepared it!"

Qiao Jiaojiao had already selected things in the mall in advance. At this moment, a golden light emitted from her palm, which made Qiao Tianjing open her mouth slightly.

"Little sister, you...are really amazing!"

Qiao Jiaojiao did not hesitate, and then cashed Zhang Jugui's paternity test charm.

[For the sake of the truth, this time is really a lot of trouble! 】

[However, this is related to all subsequent plans, so don't be careless, rush! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao placed the talisman on the table solemnly and said in a serious voice: "Brother, come on!"

Qiao Tianjing looked at the inconspicuous white talisman on the table, feeling surprised and worried at the same time.

Even though his mood was ups and downs, Qiao Tianjing's hand was still very steady, and he carefully put a drop of Emperor Yong's blood on it.

Red blood instantly spread across the talisman paper, looking extremely strange.

Qiao Tianjing held his breath, and then added a drop of the second prince's blood.

Tick--

The two drops of blood slowly merged together on the paper.

The room was silent, and Qiao Jiaojiao seemed to hear her own violent heartbeat.

She looked at the talisman soaked in blood and said in a trembling voice:

"Brother, if the second prince is not the son of Emperor Yong, the talisman will turn black. If he is, the talisman will spontaneously ignite!"

As calm as Qiao Tianjing, he couldn't help but swallow at this time.

Qiao Jiaojiao wanted to say something else, but she was already so nervous that her mouth was dry.

The next moment, the blood-stained talisman began to curl up from the four corners, and then there was a "cluster" sound——

A ball of fire appeared out of thin air and shone on the faces of Qiao Jiaojiao and Qiao Tianjing.

The brother and sister looked stunned, staring at the dancing flames with wide eyes.

It...it it spontaneously combusts!

The talisman burned to the end and died out with a "hoo" sound.

Qiao Jiaojiao stared at the table, only to see that the paternity test charm that had just been placed on it had burned completely, leaving not even a small residue...

The brother and sister were stunned for a long time, turned to look at each other, and couldn't help but look at each other.

After a long while, Qiao Jiaojiao licked her lips and suddenly said:

"Oh, Uncle Zhou is such a big mouth!"

[When I first learned this secret from Sheng Xiuran, I felt incredible. 】

[Shen Yuanbai is the male protagonist after all, but in the end, even the identity of the prince is fake? 】

[Besides, that author really has no lower limit. She tells the story from the Yong Dynasty as the main perspective, but in the end, she laid a traitorous conspiracy? 】

[Okay, now that the case has been solved, it was all Uncle Zhou's wishful thinking! 】

[Whether now or in Meng Guxue's dream, this incredible "truth" leaked from Uncle Zhou's mouth! 】

Qiao Tianjing was stunned for a while. After thinking about it, he moved the water bowl he had prepared earlier and put a drop of the blood of the Second Prince and Emperor Yong into it.

Qiao Jiaojiao also hurried over to take a look, only to see that the two drops of blood did not immediately merge with each other in the clear water.

Qiao Tianjing suddenly turned his head to look at Qiao Jiaojiao, this...how is this different from the identification results?

Qiao Jiaojiao was also shocked when she saw this, but she quickly reacted and patted Qiao Tianjing's shoulder gently.

"Brother, wait a moment."

The brother and sister stared for a while, and saw two drops of blood gradually spreading in the water, and soon merged into one, and the bowl of water turned into a light red.

Qiao Tianjing looked confused, obviously this matter was beyond his knowledge.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked serious and said slowly: "Brother, this is why I told you from the beginning that this blood test has no basis."

"Look, we prepared this bowl of water early. The night in April is still cold, so this water has already been cold."

"The blood test has too many limitations. Temperature, blood type, and adding something to the water can all bias the results."

Qiao Jiaojiao explained it as plainly as possible.

Qiao Tianjing had no doubts about Qiao Jiaojiao, but these things really exceeded his knowledge.

He thought for a while, then suddenly bit his fingertip and squeezed a drop into the water bowl.

After a while, his blood was completely integrated into it.

"Knew it......"

Qiao Tianjing sighed in a low voice.

At this moment, for the first time, he became extremely curious about the world that Qiao Jiaojiao once lived in.

It turns out that where my little sister came from, that distant human world, does everyone know so many interesting things?

No wonder Meng Guxue was so arrogant at the beginning. In some aspects, she was indeed far ahead of all of them.

Qiao Jiaojiao saw the look of amazement on Qiao Tianjing's face and couldn't help but smile.

She knew what her elder brother was thinking. In fact, in her world, they were just standing on the shoulders of giants.

And those giants are real ancient people full of wisdom!

"Brother, let's get down to business. This result can only be said to be unexpected and reasonable."

Qiao Jiaojiao looked solemnly and looked at Qiao Tianjing.

"Although Uncle Zhou caused this series of misunderstandings, I have to say that he did give us the sharpest sword!"

"And even he himself is convinced of it!"

Qiao Tianjing nodded solemnly, thinking more and deeper in his heart.

He looked at the bowl of red water and finally spoke slowly:

"Little sister, I hope that today's outcome will be known to God and earth, and to you and me."

Qiao Jiaojiao was slightly shocked when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Brother, what are you..."

Qiao Tianjing nodded and said meaningfully:

"Little sister, this matter has become inevitable. This paternity test is done so that you and I can know what's going on, and for our Qiao family to know what's going on."

"The prince will not miss this opportunity. Since the results of the blood test can be controlled, why can't we let it show the results we want?"

"When the truth is false, the false is also true. At this time, it is no longer important what the truth is. What is important is what kind of 'truth' we show!"

"And..."

Speaking of this, Qiao Tianjing seemed a little hesitant.

There were some things he wasn't sure whether to mention in front of his little sister. After all, although she was smart, her mind was still very simple.

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart was full of sighs, but at this time she took the initiative to speak, "And...it's also to guard against the prince, right?"

Qiao Tianjing was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao in astonishment, "Little sister, you..."

Qiao Jiaojiao smiled at Qiao Tianjing.

"Brother, I am not such a stupid and innocent little kid!"

"Emperor Yong has learned from the past, how can I not understand the painstaking efforts of my eldest brother?"

Qiao Tianjing's expression was touched when he heard this. He couldn't help but bend down and pick up Qiao Jiaojiao, and said seriously and sincerely:

"Little sister, eldest brother admires His Highness the Crown Prince very much and has never doubted His Highness's character."

"But, when Dad was fighting for the Yong Dynasty, the Holy Emperor trusted and relied on Dad so much, but what about now?"

"Eldest brother really wants to believe that the prince and the emperor are not the same person. However, as the eldest son of the family, eldest brother has to be careful about every step and has to consider the future of our Qiao family."

"Little sister, big brother doesn't dare to bet. If our Qiao family and the prince know the same shocking secret, will our Qiao family have a happy ending in the future..."

Having said this, Qiao Tianjing seemed to have made up his mind.

"So, when we meet with His Highness the Crown Prince at Dingguo Palace tomorrow, we only need to demonstrate the blood recognition method in front of His Highness, and then reveal some of the secrets of manipulation."

"At that time, His Highness will naturally believe what he wants to believe and will be convinced of it."

"Then, we can make plans step by step!"

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at her eldest brother with a look of conviction and nodded heavily.

"Brother, I listen to you!"

After hearing this, Qiao Tianjing patted Qiao Jiaojiao's little head lovingly, and he knew that his little sister would definitely support him!

"Little sister, thanks to you all this time, are you exhausted today?"

Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired! My eldest brother is so reliable, Jiaojiao feels very at ease!"

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but smile tenderly.

"The one who makes my brother feel at ease the most is my little sister."

"It's almost dawn, little sister, can you sleep here for a while? I'm going to Duke Dingguo's Mansion in a few hours, and I don't want to miss it, right?"

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded quickly.

Gossip person and gossip soul, she doesn't want to miss any news!

Qiao Tianjing smiled and placed Qiao Jiaojiao on the couch that had been laid out long ago, and patted her back gently.

"Then just sleep for a while."

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded obediently. Now she felt extremely sleepy as soon as she touched the bed.

But her mind was actually very excited.

At this time, she didn't know what she thought of. Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly opened her eyes and whispered in her heart:

[Oh, I just discovered that Yu Liu is the best! 】

Qiao Tianjing was cleaning up the "mess" on the table, and his hands paused slightly when he heard these words.

Qiao Jiaojiao's side was already cracking output.

【Absolutely amazing! 】

[Now think about it carefully, Yu Liu gave birth to a son with an ambiguous life experience, and ended up having everyone under control! 】

[Here Emperor Yong had no doubts about the second prince's background. Because of the "lethal power" of Bai Yueguang, Yu Liu, he favored the second prince and even passed the throne to him in the end! 】

[Uncle Zhou over there hated Emperor Yong to the core, but he firmly believed that the second prince was the son of Yu Liu and Di Zaiying, and was of pure Northern blood, so he was devoted to the second prince and loyal to him with his life! 】

[Furthermore, there is the heirless King Jinyu. He is the only nephew in the world like the second prince, and Uncle Zhou may have revealed the second prince's "life experience" to King Jinyu a long time ago. 】

[That's why King Jinyu recommended the second prince as the Northern King without any hesitation! 】

[With such a doubt about his life experience, the second prince easily won the support of three parties! 】

[And according to the original direction, the second prince has indeed succeeded in becoming the co-owner of the two countries, and there is only one Nanli Kingdom left in the world that Baili Chengyou has not yet captured! 】

[Oh my god, think about it in the dark, if this is Yu Liu's plan...]

[Mom, it's scary to think about it! Could it be that a character who had been in the background from the beginning actually controlled the overall situation? 】

[If this is the case, then there is probably a trace of who the second prince inherited this scheming from...]

[Oh my God, I am so curious about Yu Liu now! 】

Qiao Tianjing turned around and looked over, only to see Qiao Jiaojiao, who should have been asleep, rolling around in the quilt, tangled herself into a "big white chrysalis."

Qiao Tianjing: "......"

If it is true as the little sister said, then Princess Yuliu's scheming... I'm afraid no one can match it.

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't get excited for long. The fatigue in her body had overwhelmed everything. She didn't even know when she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already at Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Qiao Tianjing took her there secretly, and Xiao Hongda was startled when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao sleeping soundly.

"Dalang, why did you bring the sleeping Jiaojiao with you?"

Xiao Hongda looked confused. Didn't he make an appointment with the Crown Prince to discuss business?

Qiao Tianjing said without blushing or heartbeat: "Before I left the house, Jiaojiao grabbed my legs and insisted on following me no matter what."

"Master Xiao, you also know that I can't defeat my little sister at all."

Xiao Hongda: "..."

If he hadn't seen Qiao Jiaojiao sleeping "unconsciously", he would have almost believed it!

That's all, the Qiao family always carries this young lady with them for some unknown reason. Doesn't Old Qiao always carry her with her wherever she goes?

Royal study room.

Huang Pei said respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has gone to the Dingguo Duke's Mansion to deliver something."

Emperor Yong raised his head from the case upon hearing this, with no surprise on his face.

"The queen told me last night. It seems that Zhan'er is really interested in this marriage."

When Huang Pei saw Emperor Yong talking, he raised his hand to rub his shoulders and neck, and couldn't help but said with concern:

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? My servant Xuan Zou Qi...oh no, Zou Qi rushed to the south."

"Your Majesty, can I show you the other imperial doctors?"

Emperor Yong pinched his neck and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"No need, maybe it's been too long since I stayed at Yikun Palace..."

At this point, Emperor Yong's face also showed a bit of infatuation.

Huang Pei was secretly happy when he saw that Emperor Yong was entranced when he mentioned Yikun Palace.

It seems that the Queen is fine if she doesn't take action, but she captures the heart of the Holy Emperor as soon as she takes action!

He just said that the empress has been heartbroken for so many years and she no longer has this intention!

Otherwise, how can the living be inferior to the dead?

"Your Majesty, tonight...are you going to visit Yikun Palace again?"

Emperor Yong glanced at Huang Pei beside him.

No wonder Huang Pei has won his heart the most over the years. These words really penetrated his heart.

"Then... let's go see the queen again tonight."

Emperor Yong pretended to be reluctant, and in order to hide his feelings, he went back to dealing with government affairs.

————

The prince arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion as promised, and Duke Dingguo and his wife went out to greet him personally.

In the house, Qiao Tianjing got the news and quickly woke up Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Little sister, your highness is here."

Qiao Jiaojiao slept so darkly that her hair became frizzy.

She reacted in a daze for a while, then suddenly got excited.

"coming?"

Qiao Tianjing had prepared everything properly. First, he wiped Qiao Jiaojiao's face and let her eat something to fill her stomach.

When the prince entered the room, Qiao Jiaojiao looked energetic with her thick hair.

"Jiaojiao?"

The prince was also very surprised when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Tianjing repeated his old tricks and said what he said just now.

Prince: "..."

Qiao Jiaojiao: ◝(⑅•ᴗ•⑅)◜

No matter, just be cute!

When the prince heard this, he stopped interfering. Instead, he held Qiao Jiaojiao on his lap and talked about business with Qiao Tianjing.

"Dalang, how was... last night?"

Qiao Jiaojiao clearly felt that the muscles all over her body were tense the moment the prince asked.

Qiao Tianjing was well prepared and led the prince to the case.

"Your Highness, please take a look."

In front of him are two bowls of water.

Qiao Tianjing dripped blood into the bowl and said, "Your Highness, thanks to the secret recipe of Nanli Kingdom, otherwise the blood would have frozen long ago."

"Please look--"

The prince held his breath and leaned over to look.

I saw that in the bowl on the left, the two drops of blood quickly merged together, but on the right, they settled for a while before gradually dispersing.

The results on both sides were completely different, and the prince couldn't help but be surprised, "What...what does this mean?"

Qiao Tianjing also had a look of "confusion" on his face and said warmly:

"Reporting to your highness, I discovered by chance last night that the water temperature will affect the fusion of blood."

"Look, the water on the left is warm, and the blood melts together instantly, making it look like they are parents and children."

"The water on the right is cold, and the blood has not melted for a while, so it seems..."

Halfway through Qiao Tianjing's words, the prince's eyes flashed slightly and his thoughts surged.

"It seems that as Dalang said at the beginning, even this drop of blood cannot be used to identify relatives."

Qiao Tianjing nodded with "worry on his face", "Yes, Your Highness, this blood... was obtained with great effort, but now... I'm afraid it will be a useless effort."

The prince stared at the two bowls of blood in front of him, and suddenly said lightly:

"Dalang, Uncle Zhou is the second brother's friend. Since he said that, he must be able to do it accurately."

"The blood of the royal family cannot be confused. This drop of blood to test the relationship is just the icing on the cake."

The prince's eyes were dark.

He said it before, what is fake is fake, and what is true must become false!

Qiao Tianjing immediately nodded in agreement: "I also feel that if Zhou Bo had no basis, he would not say such words easily."

Qiao Jiaojiao just listened obediently and remained silent.

At this time, it is up to the prince himself to choose the "truth"!

The prince hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and slowly sat back down. If he said he was not disappointed, he would be lying.

Although he knew that blood test was just a folk technique, he still hoped to get a definite message——

The second brother is not his father's biological son at all!

But now, I'm afraid there is no way to be sure.

In this way, let him determine this matter thoroughly!

The most important thing is to convince Father.

No, your father doesn't even have to believe it, it's enough to make him doubtful.

Because my father is suspicious by nature, a small seed in his heart will grow into a towering tree that exposes the mask of hypocrisy!

Thinking of this, the prince calmed down completely.

"Dalang, yesterday my father received a letter of guilt from Lord Qiao. After reading it, he was so angry that he couldn't accept it. I'm afraid... Lord Qiao won't be able to escape unscathed so easily."

Yesterday, Qiao Tianjing received a reminder from Tan Hanchi from the Yanguo Duke's Mansion.

However, in front of the prince, Qiao Tianjing still pretended not to know.

He let out a long sigh and said worriedly: "It seems that dad has no choice but to come back and accept his punishment."

The prince's expression also became more gloomy, "Before I can completely overthrow my second brother, Mr. Qiao may have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden."

"My father sent the most useful Dr. Zou to treat my second brother. By the time I came back to the capital, the wound was almost healed."

"In this way, Mr. Qiao should not be severely punished."

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

[This second prince is purely ruthless. He is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself! What if he never lets the wound heal...]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned.

[I'll go, it's not impossible! 】

[After all, the healed wounds don't have that kind of visual impact at all. The second prince has lost everything, and now only the bitter trick is left! 】

[He must have wanted to use this to arouse Emperor Yong's pity and force Emperor Yong to punish his father severely! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

[I suspect that even if the wound is healed, the Second Prince himself will be scratched and broken! 】

[Mr. Zou is very unlucky. He probably won't get any benefits from this business trip, and he will be punished for his poor treatment when he comes back! 】

Various thoughts were bubbling in Qiao Jiaojiao's mind. When her thoughts turned to Dr. Zou, she suddenly had an idea.

【etc! etc! 】

[What did the prince say just now? Is Imperial Physician Zou the most useful physician for Emperor Yong? 】

[Oh my god, this delicious steamed bun is delivered to your door! 】

[If there is to be a blood test at that time, since Dr. Zou is the most trusted by Emperor Yong, Emperor Yong will definitely send him a few questions! 】

【incite defection! Dr. Zou must be instigated to rebel! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao looked excited, and Qiao Tianjing was also ready to make a move!

Wonderful! He will send a message to his father when he gets back!

After seeing the prince share the situation on his side, Qiao Tianjing calmed down and began to talk about the news on his side.

"Your Highness, this time my father escorted Princess Nanning for her marriage, there were actually some unexpected gains."

Hearing this, the prince turned his head and looked over, with curiosity on his face, "Oh? What's the gain?"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard her elder brother start to say this, her heart instantly became heavy.

Prince, alas...

Qiao Tianjing did not hide anything. He first told everything about the frightening night written in Qiao Zhongguo's letter and the changes in Meng Guxue.

The prince looked surprised and unbelievable.

"Dreaming? Is there such a mysterious thing in the world? Did Meng Guxue reveal to Master Qiao what she dreamed about?"

Qiao Tianjing nodded and said warmly:

"Your Highness, actually my father couldn't believe such strange things at first, but the first secret Meng Guxue revealed is that the second prince was not born from the Holy One!"

"What? She also knows?"

The prince was really shocked.

Meng Guxue was a complete outsider to them.

Even she knows such a top secret, does this mean that her dream is true, and the second brother is indeed not the blood of the father!

Qiao Tianjing asked the prince to calm down for a while, then continued:

"This third secret involves the young man who died a few days ago."

"Your Highness, you and I are constantly investigating this issue, but you still can't find the solution and there are no clues."

"But Meng Guxue knew that the source of those young dead men was the Daxing County Tzu Chi Bureau!"

The prince suddenly changed his expression and stood up suddenly.

"What!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was so frightened that she held on to the prince's shirt tightly, fearing that she would fall off.

She raised her head and found that the prince's lips were trembling slightly.

His voice was stagnant, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Then...those children are already homeless, why would the second brother not even let them go, and why would he inflict misfortune on them..."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her heart suddenly felt sour.

When she learned the news, she was really going crazy!

They worked hard to help the Southern Suburbs Relief Home. They originally thought that Tzu Chi Bureau was under the control of the court and the children there would have no worries about food and clothing, so there would be no problem.

Who would have known that the children there would be in even more dire straits, and no one knew how many of them had been mutilated over the years!

Now seeing the prince's heartfelt reaction, Qiao Jiaojiao knew that the prince really cared about the people of the world and deserved the name of benevolence.

"Your Highness, I got acquainted with Chu Sheng, a policeman from Daxing County, during the last assassination in the southern suburbs. The man is astute and capable. I have made an appointment to meet him in the afternoon. We may be able to accomplish something."

After all, the prince could not come and go freely. After hearing this, he ordered:

"Da Lang, this matter is a top priority. If there is any progress or need for manpower, please inform me at any time."

Qiao Tianjing hurriedly responded, and then said meaningfully: "Your Highness, if this matter goes according to Meng Guxue's words, then her dream... may be somewhat true."

He wanted to make the prince wary, after all, the second secret... was even more incredible and shocking!

The prince nodded slowly and couldn't help but ask: "Dalang, why did you skip the second secret alone?"

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he couldn't hide his sadness.

When he read the letter that night, when he reached the second secret, his eyes became sour and he could hardly stand.

His Highness... His Highness is a gentleman, Huaiyu holds Jin, and for the sake of the Qiao family, he, Qiao Tianjing, has to play his tricks and have reservations about His Highness.

But his innocent heart towards Mingjun is true!

The prince noticed that Qiao Tianjing seemed to have something to hide, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly asked:

"Dalang, this second secret...is related to me, right?"

Qiao Tianjing nodded with a heavy face, took out two neatly folded pieces of letter paper from his arms, and handed them to the prince.

"Your Highness, you... you will know it as soon as you read it."

The prince gently put down Qiao Jiaojiao, took the letter a little nervously, took a deep breath, and slowly unfolded it.

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head.

She saw the prince's eyes slowly widening, and his face was full of horror halfway through the reading. By the end of the reading, he was shaking uncontrollably, with despair on his face...
