ng Qianqian waited for a long ti but did not see Chen Long co out, so she sent Cui Hu to inquire.
"Mistress Yan said it’ll be soon."
"Alright, I’ll wait for him in my brother’s courtyard."
ng Qianqian got up and left the house.
A little toddler ca toddling over to her, reaching out with tiny arms to hug her leg, and began climbing up with a huffing sound.
Tan’er akimbo: "Treasure Piggy! Get down!"
"No!"
Treasure Piggy firmly refused.
Tan’er said, "Sister is pregnant, there’s a baby in her belly, now get down!"
Treasure Piggy stared intently at ng Qianqian’s belly, her little mouth wide open.
ng Qianqian curved her lips: "Yes, there’s a baby."
Treasure Piggy’s little face turned serious as she thought, and suddenly pointed to ng Qianqian’s belly: "Can Zhaozhao move in too?"
ng Qianqian: "..."
Qing Shuang ca over and took the little one away.
ng Qianqian found it both funny and exasperating; children can indeed say the darndest things at tis.
A few days ago, the Crown Prince Mansion was very quiet, with so going to the palace and others going out. But today, it seed as if they had agreed, all bustling back ho together.
In Chen Long’s courtyard, the now-free Shangguan Ling was being chased around by Ji Li.
He leaped high up onto the rooftop.
Ji Li held a folding fan, chasing after: "Stand still! I, the Commander Guard, must kill you today!"
Shangguan Ling was the Commander of the Imperial Guard, proficient in investigations and interrogations, but in a one-on-one fight, he was slightly inferior to Ji Li.
If not for the Gu worm he had tricked from Yu Zichuan, he probably wouldn’t have been able to shake off the opponent at all.
"Are all you Twelve Guards so ruthless?"
Shangguan Ling gritted his teeth and jumped onto a big tree in the courtyard.
Luckily, he jumped just in ti, even if it was embarrassingly awkward.
Because the eaves he had just occupied were already chopped down by a strike from Ji Li.
Shangguan Ling’s hair stood on end: "Do you have to be this harsh? It’s just five copper coins! Is it worth it?"
Si Snake, who was drinking tea, paused in action.
ng Qianqian, entering the courtyard, stopped in her tracks.
And Chen Long, supported to the door by Mistress Yan, changed his expression.
The three of them simultaneously felt a bad premonition.
Oh no...
The three of them reached out in unison: "Don’t—"
Shangguan Ling pulled out from his pocket: "I’ll return it to you, alright? Look here, a thousand taels in silver note! To buy a life of this Commander, isn’t that enough?"
Ji Li didn’t want it.
But he couldn’t control his hand—
At the mont of grasping the silver note, Shangguan Ling thought his little life was finally saved.
Until a thunderous lightning struck down!
He stood there with disheveled hair, emitting green smoke, opened his mouth, and spat out a thick black smoke...
Si Snake and ng Qianqian quickly dodged out.
Chen Long closed his eyes: "My courtyard."
-
April in Liang Country was truly tumultuous, experiencing great joys and sorrows, highs and lows. The Hu Family was raided, the Jin Prince Mansion collapsed, and Prince Jin was demoted to a commoner, confined to the Prince Mansion.
Princess Jin was without fault, and Emperor Liang allowed her to return ho.
Dou Qingyi stayed by Prince Jin’s side, sharing in his ordeal, which was a kind of confinent as well.
Lu Yuan instructed Ji Feng to send the dicine Man they captured from the underground palace to Lu Qi, reminding him to make sure the Princess Consort saw it.
What was there that Lu Qi didn’t understand?
The person who wanted him gone was his new bride.
He drew his sword and ruthlessly beheaded the dicine Man in the presence of Gongsun Liuying.
As the round head rolled to Gongsun Liuying’s feet, her whole body froze.
Lu Qi, holding a blood-dripping sword, walked towards her step by step.
She backed away in panic: "What are you doing? Don’t co closer! Don’t co closer! I’m the eldest miss of the Thousand chanism Pavilion! You can’t treat like this! My father—"
"Your father is dead."
Lu Qi said coldly.
Gongsun Liuying’s face turned pale: "What did you say?"
Lu Qi said, "Your father died under ng Xiaojiu’s sword. In this world, there is no longer a Gongsun Pavilion Master, nor a Gongsun Young Miss."
Gongsun Liuying collapsed to the ground: "No... my father wouldn’t die... how could that girl kill my father? My father was the top master in the world... he was the Pavilion Master of the Thousand chanism Pavilion... my father..."
Her tears fell in large drops.
Whether out of sadness or concern for her situation.
She finally tasted the feeling of losing everything.
From now on, no one would back her up.
"It was you who told ng Xiaojiu your father’s weakness, wasn’t it?"
"You killed your father."
"So everything you are facing now is entirely of your own doing!"
Gongsun Liuying covered her ears: "It wasn’t ... it wasn’t ... I didn’t want to harm my father... it was him... he wanted to harm my child within ... I... I..."
Without the child, at least she still had life.
But without her father, she truly had nothing left.
It was at this mont that she truly realized the gap between herself and ng Qianqian.
ng Qianqian had no parents, yet she was still the Phoenix Girl.
She was strong enough on her own.
But her own proud status, her Life Chart, all were given by her father.
She finally panicked and also was finally defeated.
Her face no longer bore the pride of the Phoenix Girl.
She looked at Lu Qi almost pleadingly: "Are you going to kill ? I was just montarily possessed, who told you to tornt in every way... I..."
Lu Qi didn’t speak, only continued to press forward.
In a flash of inspiration, she thought of sothing and covered her stomach: "We’ve been married for many days, it’s very likely that I’ve already conceived your child..."
"Child?"
Lu Qi looked down at her.
She wiped away her tears, filled with hope, and said: "Yes! Our child! Your first child!"
Lu Qi said coldly: "I’m not interested."
...
The matters in Liang Country ca to a conclusion.
ng Qianqian and Lu Yuan planned to set off back to Great Zhou.
Emperor Liang said angrily: "You are the Imperial Grandson of Liang Country, say it again, where are you going?"
Lu Yuan: "To my father-in-law’s house."
Emperor Liang: "..."
Lu Yuan’s claim to go to his father-in-law’s house was no excuse.
Back when he hurried to Miaojiang to save soone, he passed through You State without entering the ng Family, they agreed to return to the ng Family once everything settled.
Their marriage was arranged behind the ng Family’s back, the old Master ng had yet to acknowledge Lu Yuan as his grandson-in-law.
The thought that this marriage had not been made official made Emperor Liang want to scold Lu Yuan for his foolishness.
Out of consideration for ng Qianqian, he held back.
Emperor Liang said: "You are going to the ng Family, Zhaozhao is too young and unsuitable for travel, he should stay with ."
The Lu Family glanced at the little one in the Imperial Study Room: "Grand Emperor... are you sure?"
Emperor Liang’s face darkened: "What? Are you doubting my ability to take care of a child?"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "I’m afraid the throne might be at risk for Grand Emperor."
"You—"
For real this ti, Emperor Liang was ready to scold his grandson, but turning his head, he saw Treasure Piggy holding his Imperial Jade Seal, using it to crack walnuts one after another!!!
Emperor Liang trembled!
