The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 110 Returning You Free
He lowered his face and said nothing. The people below him were trembling with fear, not knowing what he said wrongly, which made His Highness unhappy.

Xia Lin glanced sympathetically at the person on the ground. Alas, he had hit the edge of a knife.

I don't know how long it took before Zhao Yi said quietly: "Leave it here."

He naturally knew what she meant by doing this, and didn't want to involve him too much or owe him anything.

But now who owes whom and how to say it is clear and reasonable.

I just want to end my relationship with him now, it's too late.

The people below took a breath, put down the box, bowed and retreated, running away as if they were being chased by ghosts.

Zhao Yi put down the book and asked, "How are things going in the mines and salt fields over there?"

Xia Lin quickly put away her expression and said seriously: "The mine has stopped operating now, and the salt farm has sent people to follow and check many abandoned villages nearby, but they can't find the salt-making site."

Refining salt requires many steps and requires a large area. It is really strange that such a large-scale salt production would disappear without a trace.

Zhao Yi pointed his finger at the table and said without distinguishing whether he was happy or angry: "Then check the surrounding aristocratic families first. Several major aristocratic families will send people to follow him for a few days to see if there is anything abnormal."

Xia Lin nodded and did not dare to stay. He immediately resigned and sent someone to follow him overnight.

Li Baojia felt a little uneasy when she left the Huangning courtyard. Her eldest cousin was right, her grandmother would soon know that she had been to the courtyard, and she would probably call her over to talk soon.

As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw a familiar figure watering the grass in the yard. He was wearing a refreshing maid's bun with two small yellow flowers on the side. Li Baojia said in surprise: "Xiao Tao!"

Xiao Tao turned around and saw Li Baojia and happily rushed over and said, "Miss, you are finally back. Xiao Tao misses you so much."

The corners of her eyes became moist as she spoke. She had never left Li Baojia since she was a child, let alone not being with her for such a long time.

In the past few days, she couldn't help but wonder where the young lady lived now, whether she slept well, whether she ate well, and whether Xiao Bing took good care of her.

Now that the young lady has finally come to Suzhou, she almost jumped up with joy when she heard the news today.

Li Baojia touched her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaotao, for taking care of sister Jiaying along the way."

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "It's not hard on me. You and Xiao Bing..."

She looked behind Li Baojia and found Lu Yi who had been standing silently. She wiped her eyes: "Ah, Xiao Bing..."

When it came to Xiao Bing, Li Baojia fell silent for a rare moment. She and Xiao Tao walked into the room before telling her about the matter.

Xiao Tao's eyes welled up with tears. She cried and said, "Xiao Bing is so pitiful... What about her sister?"

Li Baojia handed her a handkerchief and motioned for her to wipe her tears and said: "Because she is still young and cannot travel with us, so we placed her in Pingcheng first and hired a teacher to teach her. We will wait until we return to the capital to take care of her." She took it."

She then introduced Lu Yi to her, and Xiao Tao quickly went up to talk to Lu Yi enthusiastically. Lu Yi usually didn't talk much, but now that she met a lively person like Xiao Tao, she seemed particularly harmonious.

Li Baojia was also watching them with a smile and crooked eyes as they talked. The warm light of the candlelight in the room shone on them, making them look very cozy and full of warmth.

A courtyard in Huicheng looks ordinary from the outside, but inside it is extremely luxurious, with singing and dancing, and even the roadside paths are paved with inch-size gold carpets.

The maids who came and went were dressed in cool clothes, walking barefoot on the clean white carpet, and hurriedly walked around carrying exquisite food.

Zhao Qiong was sitting at the head of the seat, lying crookedly with her clothes wide open. In her arms, a maid with fair skin and waist like a water snake poured him wine, but he shook his head, took the beauty's hand, and hugged her with the other hand. Holding her slender waist, he took the wine bottle and poured wine into her mouth.

The clear wine flowed down his chin and into the lapel of his clothes. Zhao Qiong smiled wantonly, with teasing eyes.

His hands circled the beauty's waist, and the skin color of his hands was whiter than the beauty's belly. They were like an almost perfect work of art, full of beauty.

The person next to him was shaking like a sieve and kneeling on the ground, his head pressed tightly to the ground, not daring to look at the person above him.

After Zhao Qiong drank a few sips and drank all she had, she threw the woman aside: "Sure enough, you shouldn't cooperate with those idiots from the previous administration."

"Zhao Yi brought such a small number of people before, and sent more than a thousand people out to chase him, but those idiots didn't succeed."

"Pingcheng was counting on the Lin family that time? He didn't even know what kind of person their head was and rushed to die. I thought they were so capable, they were just a bunch of losers."

He stood up unsteadily, his eyes looking redder and sicker because he had drunk a lot of wine. He suddenly turned around and put his hand on the shoulder of Zhao Min'an who was standing behind him. She flinched but did not hide.

Zhao Qiong smelled of alcohol as he spoke, but the smell of alcohol on him was not as stinking as most men's. Instead, it carried an inexplicable fragrance that made anyone who smelled it feel as if they were drunk. .

He smiled with satisfaction: "My good sister, do you think these idiots from the previous dynasty are untrustworthy?"

Before Zhao Min'an nodded, he continued to talk to himself: "It seems that I should take action myself. I can't kill Zhao Yi but I can still disgust him."

"This time, do you agree to let Liangzhou completely escape his control?"

Zhao Min'an nodded, her eyes drooped, but she couldn't see any emotion, she was used to it, he did this from time to time, today is considered normal.

Zhao Qiong smiled: "Then should you do something for me?"

Zhao Minan hesitated and said: "What to do?"

Zhao Qiong did not answer: "You don't need to know now, I will tell you later. If you do this well, how about I give you a reward."

Zhao Minan was not very interested in this, but just nodded dispensably. Unexpectedly, his next sentence made her eyes widen: "Let me think about it... How about I reward you with your freedom? From now on, you are not The Zhao family has nothing to do with Yelu, you can go wherever you want, do you like this reward?"

He stared into her eyes with a half-smile, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of teasing. Zhao Minan knew clearly how bad the person in front of him was and how many times he had played with her, but when he said these words, she still couldn't help but feel her heartbeat. .

It's like a money addict who sees a fire pit full of gold, silver and jewelry and wants to try it even though he knows there is a ghost.

Gaining freedom was her dream. She had thought about it and dreamed it countless times since she was a child.

She heard her voice say in a daze: "Okay, I promise you."
