60. Chapter 60 The progress is smoother than expected
Author: Yan Rugu
It rained heavily all night and it cleared up the next day.
Jun Muxi knelt down beside the couch, resting his frivolous and handsome face on Qiao Qingqing's knees, folding his long arms and tightly hugging the girl's slender waist, leaving no gap.
Qiao Qingqing yawned, but her hands couldn't move for a moment.
She just rubbed Jun Muxi's back and coaxed him in a daze all night long.
Who knows, a son who has been separated from his mother since he was a child, even at an early age, is still as fragile as a child in his heart.
It really proves the saying: Some people need to spend a lifetime to heal their childhood.
In a daze, noises could be heard outside the window. Through the Moon Gate, commotion soon came from Jun Sumo's mansion.
Jun Muxi's brows were still furrowed even in his sleep.
Until the sudden sound of the suona made him open his eyes suddenly!
"Are you awake?" Qiao Qingqing looked bleary, "Eldest sister is getting married today. I will sleep for a while. When the sedan chair comes, wake me up..."
As she spoke, she lifted the brocade quilt, fell down to sleep, and complained vaguely, "You are so old, and you are still afraid of thunder..."
Jun Muxi was naturally full of sleep.
He curled his lips with satisfaction, stood up, opened the door, greeted Cangsong, and asked in a low voice:
"Can you find out who is the prince's sect?"
Cangsong looked at Jun Muxi with a solemn expression, and couldn't help but recall his appearance last night in his mind.
It took a lot of effort for him to suppress the twitching of the corners of his mouth, clear his voice, and said, "He is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
Jun Muxi laughed briefly and said disdainfully, "The Minister of Hubu has always attached great importance to his son, and now he has gone to great lengths to disturb my marriage."
"Looking around, in the entire Kyoto, there is only one son of the Minister of Revenue who is the same age as the princess, and he is very talented. They think that the princess is really greedy for beauty, so they want to follow her fancy..."
"Is this king good-looking?" Jun Muxi changed the subject, his eyebrows gleaming with daggers.
Cangsong immediately lowered his head and bowed his hands, "Of course he can't compare to the prince. The prince is so charming and suave, and he is ten blocks ahead of the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!"
Jun Muxi snorted coldly, then said, "Act as planned."
The chirping of cicadas in midsummer hovers on the branches.
With the beating of gongs and drums, Qiao Lianyi was soon welcomed into the mansion by Jun Sumo.
The emperor and the empress sat on the high platform, accepting the worship and kowtow of the two newlyweds.
This liveliness and joy lasted until sunset.
Everyone gathered outside the bedroom, trying to cause trouble in the wedding, and Qiao Qingqing also saw the right opportunity and targeted the prince.
"Gugu, is there any way to get the prince to come with me?"
After thinking about it, Qiao Qingqing still asked the system for help.
The system said:
[There is a kind of hallucinogen, commonly known as "obedient water", but because it is illegal, it cannot be easily provided to the host. 】
"Haha, 'invisibility cloak' is not illegal? You are using strong words!"
[...Actually, there is no way to do it. The host needs to sign a pledge not to do anything inappropriate to the prince.]
"Ah, sign, sign, sign! Who would do something wrong to him? I'm not blind!"
After getting the potion as she wished, Qiao Qingqing couldn't wait to use it on the prince.
Just like that, a strange scene happened quietly in front of everyone's eyes.
Qiao Qingqing was wearing an "invisible coat". She held the prince's sleeve between her thumb and forefinger, pinched his sleeve and pulled it toward the moon gate in disgust.
When Jun Muxi stepped back from the wine table and rushed to the Moon Gate, he saw the prince with a numb face and empty eyes slowly heading towards Qiao Qingqing's bedroom.
He immediately called out Cangsong, "Isn't it that he arranged for the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance? Why would the prince act on his own?"
Cangsong rubbed his eyes, "I don't know, although...but I saw with my own eyes that the son of the Minister of Household Affairs has entered the princess's bedroom..."
"Did you get knocked unconscious?" Jun Muxi frowned displeased.
"It's necessary!" Cangsong assured, patting his chest.
"In that case..." Jun Muxi thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't save me from taking action again, so prepare..."
Yue'er hid in the clouds, Qiao Qingqing pushed open the side hall door, put away her "invisibility coat", and whispered to the secret room, "Come out."
Qiao Rourou finally sees the light of day.
She took the prince, helped him onto the couch, nodded to Qiao Qingqing, "We can start."
Qiao Qingqing rubbed her fingertips against her skirt, and after rubbing away the scumbag's breath, she thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.
But when he turned around, he bumped into Jun Muxi!
"Qingqing, I have sent someone to invite the emperor. However, when you plotted against the prince, he had actually already poisoned you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cangsong dragged an unconscious man out of her bedroom.
Jun Muxi smiled evilly, "I have an idea that can add fuel to the flames..."
Qiao Qingqing looked at Jun Muxi, feeling that the man in front of her suddenly became unfathomable...
He, he, he...why do he still have two faces?
But before I could react, several shouts rang out from all around:
"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"
The shouts came from far to near.
Someone told the emperor that the prince was missing, so the bright yellow dragon robe was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
A group of people approached the Moon Gate. Qiao Qingqing and Jun Muxi hid in the dark and quietly blended into the group as everyone approached.
In the side hall, when the prince was awake, he suddenly found a woman sleeping next to him. He lit the candlelight, and a familiar pretty face suddenly came into view!
"Rourou?" The prince's voice was low, but he turned to face the light outside the window, and his face darkened again, "Are you plotting against me?"
Qiao Rourou didn't expect the prince to wake up so early, so she could only shake her head in confusion, "I don't know what happened..."
"Hide!"
The prince picked up Qiao Rourou with one hand and stuffed her into the closet.
He walked to the door of the side hall in three steps and wanted to escape from the scene. However, he seemed to be tripped by something under his feet. With a "clang", he fell heavily to the ground!
What you see is a man who has been stripped of his body.
He lowered his head to identify carefully. Is this person... really Li Jikang, the son of the Minister of Hubu who he sent to spend the night with Qiao Qingqing?
"Hey, idiot, wake up!"
The prince slapped Li Jikang's cheek, but Qiao Qingqing did not give the two of them a chance to speak.
She tilted her ears, sensing that the time was right, and suddenly opened the door!
"ah!"
The piercing screams were particularly clear in the empty house.
Soon, everyone was led here.
Before the prince could realize what had happened, Qiao Qingqing pointed his finger directly at the pillar of shame:
"Your Highness, why did you rob the man?"
The prince was confused!
The guard chasing the assassin was confused!
Behind the guards were a mighty crowd, and the civil and military officials headed by the emperor and their family members were even more confused!
"You, you, you...could it be that you have a broken sleeve?"
Qiao Qingqing almost smiled crookedly!
However, she had to work hard to suppress her laughter even though she was performing a full performance.
Although love does not distinguish between genders, in ancient times when people's customs were not yet civilized, it was already very serious for a prince, the future prince, to be suddenly labeled as a "cut sleeve"...
Because "cut sleeves" means that there will be no heirs in the future. Without heirs, how will the throne be passed down in the future? Who will inherit the country's unification?
The prince woke up from the shock and hurriedly distanced himself from Li Jikang:
"This prince is not Duanxiu, this... this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
