Qiao Qingqing secretly clenched her fists, but Qiao Qianqian's voice continued:
"Second sister, do you still need to deal with her? The eldest lady has never left the Buddhist temple in these years, and my father has never set foot in it. She is just a living dead, so why bother..."
Qiao Xiaoxiao glanced away with a sharp gaze, and Qiao Qianqian shut up.
"What do you know? As long as she is still alive, my mother will always be an equal wife. To say she is an equal wife is not inferior to a regular wife? Who among the noble ladies in Kyoto is not respectful to me on the surface but mocking me secretly?"
Having said this, she secretly clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand:
"Hmph, only after she dies will my father consider promoting my mother to be his wife. By then, I will be the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace. If I add the Crown Princess, who will dare to face me in the future?
One set, one behind the back?"
"Second sister is right! When the time comes, others will look at me favorably!"
Qiao Qianqian agreed, the stupidity on his face shot directly into Qiao Qingqing's forehead and heart through the rubble!
Qiao Qingqing couldn't listen anymore.
"Let's go, let's go, I have a phobia of silly cups."
Thief Lu easily helped her off the roof and said, "Where are we going now?"
"Go to the Buddhist temple."
The two easily evaded the guards and soon appeared outside the temple.
This is a side hall, and few people move around, but Qiao Qingqing is still a step late.
When she arrived, the maid had already delivered the message.
Qiao Qingqing looked from a distance, and the flickering candlelight cast a ring-shaped shadow on the window paper. Then, a woman slowly stepped up.
"Quick, save her!"
Qiao Qingqing patted Thieving Deer on the shoulder, and he jumped up, blowing up a stream of breeze.
"Looking at it like this, it's quite clever~"
Qiao Qingqing also stepped into the bedroom. When Thief Lu took action, she quickly extinguished the candle, then picked up the low stool beside her and slammed it on the ground!
"boom!"
In less than a moment, the surroundings returned to silence.
The woman was thrashing about, but the deer thief was so big that he quickly subdued her.
"Mom, it's me, don't make a sound!"
Qiao Qingqing called out in a low voice. The woman was stunned and finally became honest.
For a long time, until she was sure that the maid had left, she signaled to Thieving Deer to release her restraint:
"Mother, what are you doing?"
"Lianyi went out to look for the second prince, but was... thrown into a lake and committed suicide... My poor child, I have survived for my mother so far just so that she can live a stable life in the house. Now that she is gone, what reason do I have to live?
?”
"Huh? You just went out and threw yourself into the lake? Mother, have you not been fighting at home for a long time and your mind can't move?"
Qiao Qingqing rolled her eyes speechlessly and waved her little hand:
"I was just about to tell you that I would go with Sister Thief Lu to escort her to meet the second prince in southern Xinjiang. I overheard the second prince's plan, so I didn't go through with it. As expected, I saw you yourself as soon as I arrived.
Seeking short-term consequences..."
Only then did the eldest lady stop crying:
"San'er, haven't you been exiled, how could you..."
"It was the prince who saved me," Qiao Qingqing shook her shoulders, "so you can't be instigated by the second roommate and just wait for the eldest sister to return in the mansion, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, he and you..."
"We are fine, hey, he is the personal bodyguard assigned to me by the prince."
Qiao Qingqing said and bumped Thieving Deer with her shoulder.
Thief Lu was shocked and remained silent for a long time before nodding, "Oh yes, our prince has absolutely no sympathy for Qiao Qiao!"
The eldest lady seemed not to have expected that a personal bodyguard could be so sturdy, but thinking of his skills just now, she nodded again:
"That's good, that's good. You find Lianyi for me and you must protect her. She has a pure nature and can trust others easily..."
"I haven't inherited it from you..." Qiao Qingqing muttered, "Okay, I'm leaving. Mother, please remember not to listen to rumors!"
After leaving the Buddhist hall, Qiao Qingqing heard a faint sound of bells just a few steps away.
"who?"
Thief Lu rolled his eyes and said with hope, "Qiaoqiao, you and the prince..."
"I have nothing to do with him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Qingqing felt that the sound of the bell she had just heard suddenly stopped.
Thief Lu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Then you just..."
"If I don't say that, will my mother believe me? How can a fugitive prisoner with no backing and no identity save my eldest sister?"
"That's right." Thieving Lu glanced sideways and trotted forward, "Qiaoqiao, where are we going now?"
"I'll hang these tacky earrings on Qiao Qianqian's bedside first, then I'll say goodbye to my aunt, and then I'll look for my eldest sister!"
"It's such a small thing, I won't bother you to go there in person!"
Thief Lu completed everything with ease, and finally took Qiao Qingqing out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then said goodbye to her aunt.
After a lot of tossing, it was already dawn.
The protection of Kyoto City suddenly became strict.
Qiao Qingqing turned around, looked at everything she had left behind, and smiled, "Qiao Qianqian must have discovered the earrings and reported it to Qiao Xiaoxiao."
"Qiaoqiao, do we really want to go to southern Xinjiang?"
Thief Lu looked at the black clothes in the corner and deliberately raised his voice:
"Aren't you worried about the prince? He has no choice but to marry that impostor. If he gets hurt because of this, you really won't be heartbroken?"
Qiao Qingqing sneered, "Is there anything he can do? I think he just takes advantage of others' charming looks. Good-looking creatures are inherently dangerous, and so are good-looking women. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What does it have to do with me?
thing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clear ringing of the bell last night seemed to faintly ring again.
Qiao Qingqing pricked up her ears to catch it.
She leaned forward, and soon she saw a group of people approaching from the city gate.
"Come on, come on, follow them!"
The sound of the bell was instantly forgotten by her. Qiao Qingqing swung her palm and hit Thief Lu directly on the shoulder with such force that the fat on his shoulder shook.
"Tsk, it hurts!" Thief Lu glanced at her, "Why are you following them? Aren't you going to find your eldest sister?"
Qiao Qingqing sneered, "Follow them and you will definitely find the eldest sister."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Sister is not stupid, she must be like me, disguised as a man," Qiao Qingqing unfolded the folding fan with a loud bang, "The most money will be stolen in a short period of time, there will be no other dangers."
"Oh~ Is this why you haven't taken any action and asked me to blame the earrings on Qiao Qianqian's bedside?" Thieving Lu looked admiring.
"Do you know where to look?" Qiao Qingqing quivered her nostrils speechlessly.
"……have no idea."
"Isn't that right? How can it be efficient if you are just searching like a headless fly? It's better to just follow this group of people."
Having said this, Qiao Qingqing pointed her finger and before the group of big men disappeared, she got on her horse and shouted, "Drive~"
Thief Lu followed closely behind, "Hey, Qiao Qiao, how do you know that the people following this group must be Qiao Xiaoxiao's people?"
"Didn't you see it just now? There is no way in or out of Kyoto City. If they can come out so easily, they must be assigned by Qiao Xiaoxiao to destroy the eldest sister's innocence."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
Thief Lu's eyes sparkled, but soon he said with confusion, "You are so smart, but you still can't deal with that impostor? Why do you give up on the prince so firmly?"
Qiao Qingqing waved her hand, "What should I do with her? This is not her problem, it's Jun Muxi who can't resist the temptation."
"You're not going to fight?" Thief Lu was puzzled, "Since ancient times, haven't women tried their best to please men?"
Qiao Qingqing kept staring forward with her eyes solemn:
"Don't fight, just give it to her, there are more men."
