After her aunt washed Qiao Qingqing, she helped her out of the room.
The outdoor table not far away had turned white from the heavy rain. People gathered in the corridor in twos and threes, looking into the distance boredly.
The movement of the two people quickly attracted attention.
"Miss Qiao San, are you awake?"
The small group that had dispersed quickly gathered around her. Qiao Qingqing was a little stunned and could only nod politely:
"Aha, yes, I woke up..."
"Miss Qiao San, try my flower cake!"
A crisp voice came from the crowd, and then, a slender arm reached out from the crowd.
Qiao Qingqing lowered her head and saw a little girl with a mean face crouching down, trying to squeeze into the crowd and hand the flower cake to her hand.
Isn't this girl Qiao Qianqian's handkerchief?
When Qiao Qianqian insulted her last night, the girl folded her arms and looked sternly, with an extremely arrogant attitude.
What is her intention in trying to please herself now?
Qiao Qingqing did not go to pick up the flower cake, but just stared at her gaze with interest. She thought she would give up, but unexpectedly she frowned and explained:
"Don't worry, Miss Qiao San, this flower cake is not from the Qian family in Kyoto, it is made by my mother herself!"
Oh? You want to end the relationship so quickly?
Before Qiao Qingqing could speak, there was laughter from the crowd:
"Ruan Si, you can change your face faster than you can flip a book? What did you say when Miss Qiao San came back to the house last night? I remember you seemed to have said, 'Why don't you starve her to death!', now you
What kind of thing are you asking for?"
The girl named Ruan Si was not angry after hearing this, she just said with a smile on her face:
"You heard it wrong. What I said was, 'You must not go hungry.' No, I know that Miss Qiao San has a grudge against the Qian family, so did I send you a flower cake?"
"Come on, come on, you were expecting the prince to come and were afraid of being implicated, so you tried every means to please Miss Qiao San. Fortunately, Miss Qiao Si regarded you as a confidant, but you actually added insult to injury. People like you, please stay away from us in the future!"
"Miss Qiao San, don't listen to Ruan Si's sophistry. Who knows if there is poison in her flower cake? Eat my walnut cake!"
"Eat mine, eat mine, I have peanut cakes here..."
Qiao Qingqing listened to everyone's words and immediately understood the reason.
Did Jun Muxi really vent his anger on her?
Looking at the dazzling array of food in front of her, Qiao Qingqing didn't know how to make a decision. It seemed that no matter whose food she took, she would offend the rest of the people...
Just when she was in trouble, a solemn command sounded, "Ladies, please give way."
This voice, with the evil aura that has been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately stopped the commotion.
Qiao Qingqing looked up and saw Cangsong walking towards her dragging a roast chicken with one hand.
"Miss Qiao San, this is specially prepared for you by the prince. In addition, the prince has been waiting in the side hall for a long time. Please move to the side hall."
Qiao Qingqing's nostrils opened slightly, she secretly concealed the smile at the corner of her mouth, took the roasted chicken, nodded slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your love."
Who knows? This kind of blatant preference can literally kill people, okay?
Amid the envious, jealous and hateful eyes, Qiao Qingqing quietly straightened her back and walked away with the pines.
When they arrived at the side hall, the prince was sitting in the first place, with a gloomy look on his face.
Qiao Qingqing avoided looking at each other and woke up the system:
"Gugu, is Wen in PK now?"
System response: [On the first day of PK, the host’s popularity is still acceptable.]
Qiao Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes confidently, glanced around, and walked to the center.
She beamed at Jun Muxi and said, "I have met the prince."
Jun Muxi looked calm, nodded lightly, and then waved.
Qiao Qingqing almost had her flattery written all over her face!
She grinned, walked quickly behind Jun Muxi, took the roast chicken in Cangsong's hand, and began to nibble secretly.
Not far away, Qiao Qianqian didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, and still kept sarcastic:
"Hmph, you're a country bumpkin who can't stand the table. He's so greedy for a roast chicken."
Don’t blame her for not caring about her image, it’s just that she has been hungry since noon yesterday and can’t stand it anymore!
Qiao Qingqing ignored it and focused on the movements of her hands. In a daze, a cup of tea was brought to her lips, and Jun Muxi's slightly doting voice fell deep, "Drink some water, don't choke."
"Shuan Q~"
Qiao Qingqing took a sip and mumbled her thanks.
"She wants to be fed by the prince even if she wants to drink some water. Look how pretentious she is!"
Qiao Qingqing finally exploded.
"Xiba!" She raised her head fiercely and ordered with a glossy mouth, "Don't be idle, go and get me a brocade handkerchief to wipe your mouth!"
Qiao Qianqian stood up with a bang and said, "Why should I let you do whatever you want!"
Suddenly, all the soldiers in the side hall suddenly drew out their swords. Qiao Qianqian was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell down on her seat.
From the beginning to the end, the prince's face darkened a bit and he did not dare to say a word.
Qiao Qingqing suddenly understood where things were going:
The prince's elite troops were taken over by Jun Muxi, and the news was undoubtedly blocked. Now that the mountain top was far away from the imperial city, Jun Muxi had a heavy army, so of course he didn't dare to let go of anything.
But Qian Wansan didn't know the inside story. He had been sitting at the bottom with an arrogant look on his face.
When Qiao Qianqian acted recklessly just now, there was still a trace of ridicule in his eyes, but after seeing the soldier's blade, he looked at the high platform in disbelief, as if waiting for the prince to make the decision for him.
After a long moment of silence, the prince just held the tea set and remained silent. Qian Wansan then fell into his thoughts.
Qiao Qingqing withdrew her gaze and raised her chin towards Qiao Qianqian. Qiao Qianqian wanted to reply, but Jun Muxi said indifferently:
"Go and get the square brocade handkerchief, are you deaf?"
Qiao Qianqian was startled and quickly looked at Qian Wansan. She murmured, "Grandpa..."
Qian Wansan bowed his hands to Jun Muxi, "Why is the prince embarrassing my granddaughter?"
Jun Muxi laughed briefly, and Ci Shen's voice slowly floated in the side hall:
"Embarrassed? If I remember correctly, Qiao Si is the sister of my fiancée, right? When did our court stipulate that a younger sister holding a square brocade handkerchief for her older sister would be considered an embarrassment?"
Qian Wansan was speechless.
Seeing that the prince remained silent, he finally frowned and said, "Go get the square brocade handkerchief."
Qiao Qianqian stamped her feet angrily, reluctantly took the brocade handkerchief from the maid's hand, walked up to Qiao Qingqing, threw it hard, "Don't choke to death."
After hearing this, Jun Muxi suddenly raised his eyes!
Qiao Qianqian was frightened by his sharp gaze and stepped back suddenly, but before she could breathe, she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
You can hear pindrops all around.
After a long time, someone finally spoke in a low voice, "Did Qiao Si faint from fright?"
Only then did Qian Wansan react!
He stood up in a hurry, ran to Qiao Qianqian in three steps at a time, and shouted helplessly, "Qianqian, my poor child, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
His words caused everyone present to explode. At this moment, Jun Sumo and Qiao Lianyi arrived at the threshold.
Qiao Lianyi's face turned pale, and she hurried forward and half hugged Qiao Qianqian, her beautiful eyes full of tears, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"
Jun Sumo walked slowly to Qiao Lianyi's side, probed Qiao Qianqian's wrist with her slender fingertips, opened her eyelids and checked her, and then explained, "Miss Qiao Si has been poisoned."
