"Hmph." Concubine Ling sneered and said, "Keep it for now, it will be useful. You can send someone to check out her relationship with Chu Jiaoli."
Hongying showed a faint smile and said: "Yes."
By the time the clothes were finished, it was almost dusk. Chu Jiaoli looked at the red clouds on the horizon in front of the door, frowned slightly and said, "It's so late..."
Jing Lan said in confusion: "Why did you let Chu Jiaoping run away?"
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip and said, "She... is my second sister after all."
Judging from the lessons Hua Yuejin received in the above chapters, if Chu Jiaoping was arrested and taken to the Prince's Mansion, she would probably have a narrow escape from death.
Even if Chu Jiaoli was angry, she could not let Chu Jiaoping die by accident, so that that person could take advantage of the opportunity to resurrect her body...
She clenched the fist in her sleeve and said, "I hope you can hide this matter for a longer time. If His Highness asks about it, the entire responsibility lies with me, Chu Jiaoli."
Jing Lan frowned and hesitated for a moment, thinking that people like Chu Jiaoping couldn't hurt Beigong Tengxiao. She nodded and said, "Okay."
"Thank you."
She slightly raised the corners of her cold lips. She would find a good opportunity to deal with this special person personally.
Prince's Mansion.
Beigong Tengxiao was playing chess with Jingyue in the courtyard, and several pieces had fallen on the delicate chessboard.
"Your Highness, Jiao Li's new clothes have been changed." Jing Lan said with her fists clasped.
Chu Jiaoli saluted Beigong Tengxiao, who was focused on playing chess, and said: "Your Highness."
"Well." Beigong Tengxiao looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, showed a faint smile, and said, "You have missed a wonderful show."
Chu Jiaoli looked at the chessboard, frowned slightly, and said with a little embarrassment: "Your Highness, this servant doesn't know how to play chess."
Bei Gong Tengxiao lifted up Heizi and slowly dropped it, saying: "It doesn't matter, I will teach you when I have time in the future."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyes, and what caught his eye was a woman wearing a light cyan gradient chest-length skirt, with a few vivid pear blossoms dotted on her chest.
The simple and elegant colors are surprisingly conspicuous on her body, like the finishing touch, which brings out the cold temperament to the extreme.
He smiled slightly with satisfaction and said, "This color is suitable."
As the words fell, he also dropped his last son.
Jingyue smiled and said: "Your Highness is so powerful, and this subordinate lost again."
"You have also made progress." Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand to pick up the tea cup on the table and slowly took a sip of tea.
Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned and said: "Your Highness, why don't you ask me why I came back so late?"
Beigong Tengxiao raised his thin lips and said: "If you want to say it, you will naturally say it."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli froze on the spot, her eyes unclear whether she was disappointed or surprised.
Is it because he doesn't care or because he trusts too much...
Just as she lowered her head and was deep in thought, out of the corner of her eye she saw Jing Ling walking past her and walking in front of Beigong Tengxiao.
He held an exquisite wooden box in his hand, handed it to Beigong Tengxiao with both hands, and said: "Your Highness, it's ready."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand to open the wooden box and gently raised the corners of his lips.
In the box is a wooden rattan bracelet with several lifelike simulated pear blossoms and leaves on it, which is so delicate and beautiful.
Chu Jiaoli glanced lightly, a little dazed.
This bracelet is so beautiful. Was it... given to Xiang Yini?
Beigong Tengxiao picked up the bracelet, gently stroked the smooth material with his fingertips, and said, "Jiaoli, this bracelet was specially customized for you by my trustee. Do you like it?"
Chu Jiaoli's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of palpitations flashed through her eyes. She immediately lowered her head, her eyes returned to a cold look, and said: "Your Highness, I don't need such gorgeous things. Wear them to do your work."
It’s not convenient either.”
Seeing her refusal, Beigong Tengxiao did not answer, but grabbed her left wrist, put the bracelet on for her, then held her hand, looked at it, showed a satisfied smile, and said: "Don't take it off.
."
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, pulled her hand back and said, "Yes."
Chu Mansion.
Chu Jiaoping closed the door in shock, took a few deep breaths, and clenched her fists tightly.
Ever since she entered the family at the age of seven, she had been used to bullying Chu Jiaoli. That little girl had always been obedient and never dared to speak loudly. But now, at first glance, they were completely different.
Now that he has caused trouble, he wants to settle it for her sake. She is just a concubine with no sense of existence. How can she have such great ability...
Chu Jiaoli was the murderer of her brother, and now he trampled her under his feet. She bit her lip tightly, how could she swallow this breath?!
It's just that she has two backers, the Crown Prince and Concubine Ling, so it's really difficult to get close to her...
She sighed in annoyance and frowned.
No, she will never give up!
"Hmm!" Just as she was thinking, someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose with a hand from behind, carrying a strong smell of medicine. Her frightened eyes slowly darkened, and after a moment of dizziness, she lost consciousness.
The night was as cool as water, stars were dotted in the dark blue night sky, and the emperor slowly calmed down.
Chu Jiaoping opened her eyes, and her blurry vision slowly became clear.
She held her forehead and looked at the scene around her.
The gorgeous decoration was something she had never seen before. The maid standing with her head bowed next to the pillar was wearing the costume of a palace maid. She was suddenly startled. She looked up and saw that the woman in gorgeous clothes sitting on the throne was the same woman she had seen in the afternoon.
Concubine Ling!
She immediately knelt down and kowtowed, her body could not help but tremble and said: "Ling... Concubine Ling, please spare your life!"
Concubine Ling raised her lips slightly and said, "What's wrong? Is this palace so scary?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping shook her head hastily.
Concubine Ling said to the maid beside her: "Come, please give me a seat."
"Yes." After saying this, two maids carried a chair behind Chu Jiaoping.
Concubine Ling smiled and raised her palm to point to the seat, saying: "Sit down."
"The daughter of the people obeys the order." Chu Jiaoping responded in a low voice and sat down slowly.
Seeing that she was sitting firmly, Concubine Ling cut to the chase and said, "I heard that you and Chu Jiaoli were at odds and managed to kill her mother a few years ago. In recent years, you have also treated her as a servant."
Chu Jiaoping was so frightened that her legs went weak. She knelt down with a bang and said, "The people's daughter is wrong! The people's daughter will never dare to do it again!"
"What's wrong?" Concubine Ling raised the tea cup on the table, gently opened the tea leaves with the lid, took a sip of tea and said, "You did a great job."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping was a little confused. She looked at Concubine Ling with frightened and confused eyes: "Your Majesty... what does this mean?"
Concubine Ling slowly put down the tea cup, leaned her body lightly, and leaned her elbows on the armrest, saying: "As the saying goes, if you don't serve yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Since I can climb up to this supreme throne, I have naturally done a lot of ruthless things.
, I like people like you."
Chu Jiaoping swallowed her saliva nervously and said: "Thank you... thank you for your love."
Concubine Ling stood up slowly, walked up to her, stretched out her hand to lift her chin, looked into her delicate eyes, and said: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have a close relationship with Chu Jiaoli. I need you."
You, before she died, ruined your reputation, how about it, I will protect you in glory and wealth."
