Chapter 643 Po 2
"Oh."

But Ah Bao just responded lightly: "Since you are back, let's go in!" Then he put down the curtain.

The coachman quickly swung his whip to drive the carriage in through the side door.

Watching the carriage enter the gate, the man couldn't take his eyes back for a long time.

"Brother!" At this time, he saw a little lady coming to him, "Is this the Princess Qingyang who they said was called Princess Abao? He is so indifferent and doesn't welcome you at all, then you Why do you want to come back?"

The man turned his head and glanced at her lightly: "Say one more bad word about her, and I'll have someone send you back to Wuzhou."

The little lady was startled, and quickly bowed her head: "Okay, I just don't say anything."

Only then did the man nod his head, tidy up his clothes, and then walked into the county palace step by step.

The two first went to the King of Hejian County to pay their respects.Seeing him, King Hejian smiled slightly and said, "You are really back. The last time I received a letter from your father, I thought you were going to stay in Wuzhou. But Abao said you would definitely come back, and it turned out that You just go back. It seems that this king is really old and can't see people with his eyes, but Abao is even more powerful."

Qiao Yan said respectfully: "This life was given by the princess, so I will naturally follow the princess in this life."

King Hejian waved his hand: "That's your own business, I don't care about it when I'm old." After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the little lady beside him, "Is this your sister?"

"Yes, little sister Qiao Siniang, this time I insisted on following a certain person to see the prosperity of Chang'an, but I couldn't resist her, so I had no choice but to bring her along." Qiao Yan said.

"That's good. You have been alone in Chang'an for ten years, and you can only reunite with your family for one month every year. Thinking about it, you miss your loved ones very much. It is a good thing to have someone to accompany you now. Let her be with you in the future." Please stay at the house with peace of mind! Take her out for a walk when you are free." Prince Hejian nodded.

"Yes, someone knows."

The Duke of Hejian was old, so he closed his eyes after saying these words.Qiao Yan didn't bother him too much, and hurriedly took Amei to leave.

Back in the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, he changed his clothes after washing up, and then went out again.

Miss Qiao hurried to catch up: "Brother, where are you going?"

"Naturally, I went to see the princess. I haven't gone to pay her respects after I came back." Qiao Yan said.

"Didn't you salute him just now outside the door? And I think she just ignores you, she clearly doesn't pay attention to you, why do you need to ask for trouble?" Qiao Xiao The lady said displeased, "Every time you go home, my father and mother ask you how you are doing in Chang'an, and you always say yes, are you so good in the end? If I hadn't come with me this time, I wouldn't have Knowing that you have been treated like that by them all the time! In Wuzhou, you are the son of the magistrate anyway, why are you being bullied like this? Brother, you should go back with me! Let’s live our lives in Wuzhou, okay? "

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm fine here, this is already my home." Qiao Yan said, then turned to tell the servant girl, "Serve Miss Qiao to rest."

The servant girl hurried forward to pull the man away.

Miss Qiao was still unwilling, but Qiao Yan turned around and left without giving her a chance to speak.

He hurried to the gate of Abao's yard, and the woman guarding the gate quickly grinned at him, showing her missing teeth: "Qiao Langjun, you are back! You are not here these days, and the princess has no one to talk with you , so lonely!"

"Old lady Xue, you are talking nonsense again. The princess has always been quiet, and she is used to being alone. How have you ever been lonely?" The maid on the side hurriedly said.But when she met Qiao Yan, she still nodded and smiled at her, "Is Mr. Qiao Lang here to see the princess? Princess, please come with me in the inner courtyard."

"No need, I know where the Princess is, I just go find her myself." Qiao Yan said hastily.

The servant girl nodded and let him in sideways.Turning around, she glared at the mother-in-law again: "What did you just say? It's as if the Princess is looking forward to his return. Is the Princess like this?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, and I will never say that again." The old woman hurriedly lowered her head to beg for mercy, but there was no trace of remorse in her lowered eyes.

The servant girl heard that she had admitted her mistake, and didn't bother to argue with her, so she turned around and went to work.

Over there, when Qiao Yan entered the inner room, he saw Abao squatting in front of a small box again, watching intently.He came to her side lightly, without making a sound, and stared at the two fat little bugs with her in a daze.

Ah Bao watched for more than a quarter of an hour before he came back to his senses and discovered his existence.

She wasn't panicked or surprised, as if it was natural for this person to appear beside her, she said to him, "Stretch out your hand."

Qiao Yan stretched out her hand obediently.

Ah Bao pinched his arm with his nails, then picked up a bug and put it on the wound.The little bug squirmed twice immediately, and then slipped into the wound with a chirp.

"What are you doing to my brother?"

At this moment, a scream was heard.Miss Qiao came over at some point, she just happened to see the scene of Ah Bao feeding Gu worms into Qiao Yan's body, and immediately screamed and flew over.

It's just that when she arrived, the bug had already disappeared, leaving only a shallow scar on Qiao Yan's arm, and some blood stains to show her what happened just now.

"Brother, what was that just now? Why did you let her put it in? Why are you so stupid!" Miss Qiao was so distressed that she hugged Qiao Yan's arm and yelled non-stop.

Qiao Yan pushed her away indifferently. "Otherwise, how did you manage to survive all these years as me? If it weren't for the princess who worked hard for me every day, I would have died in front of you ten years ago."

"But, who knows what she got in? I've never seen anyone treat someone like this!" Miss Qiao cried.

"Huh? Didn't you tell them?" Ah Bao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "The Gu worms I planted in your body over the years have been five hundred if not a thousand, and you haven't mentioned a single word to them? "

"insanity?!"

When Miss Qiao heard this, she immediately let out another ear-piercing scream. "But that witch's Gu?"

"That's right, that's right." Ah Bao nodded, "The reason why I chose him at the beginning was because he was an excellent Gu test container. Look, how well he gets along with those bugs now!"

"Ahhh!"

Miss Qiao went crazy.She quickly took Qiao Yan's hand: "Brother, let's go quickly! Go home! You can't stay in this ghostly place, she will kill you!"

"Si Niang, don't talk nonsense." Qiao Yan pushed her hand away.

"Brother!" Miss Qiao was about to cry, "She put a Gu on you! And so many! After so many years, who knows what your body has been tossed into! If you stay here any longer, You are really going to die!"

"If it wasn't for her, I would have died long ago." Qiao Yan said lightly.

"But, but..."

"No, but. I said earlier that if you dare to make trouble in Chang'an, I will send you back to Wuzhou immediately. It's only three incidents, and this is already the second time."

"Brother!"

"This matter is not negotiable."

Miss Qiao burst into tears, but Qiao Yan's attitude still did not ease in the slightest.She was so heartbroken that she could only cover her face and run away crying.

Only then did Qiao Yan turn to A'Bao again, with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry, Princess, my younger sister is young and ignorant, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."

"It's okay, it's a good thing to have a relative who cares about you so much. And she didn't know about it before, so don't blame her." A Bao said lightly.

"That's right, blame me. If I had made it clear to her earlier, she wouldn't be like this." Qiao Yan said.

"Indeed." Bao nodded.

Qiao Yan was slightly taken aback, and then smiled wryly: "Princess, you are really not polite at all. I thought I just came back, and you would say something nice to make me feel at ease!"

"You don't need it." Ah Bao said.

"It's really not necessary." Qiao Yan sighed lightly.

"Also, she gave it to you." A Bao said again.

Qiao Yan nodded. "Understood. I will explain it clearly to her, and I will never let her misunderstand you, princess."

"Whether she misunderstood me or not is a trivial matter. I just don't like to see people crying in front of me. It's so noisy." A Bao frowned.

Qiao Yan suddenly couldn't help laughing.

When he saw Abao's eyes sweeping over him, he quickly put away his smiling face, but still couldn't help teasing: "It's been so long, princess, you are still so afraid of making noise."

"No matter when and where, I am like this." A Bao said.

After observing him for a while, he found that there was nothing unusual about his body, so Ah Bao turned his head to observe other insects.Seeing this, Qiao Yan knew that he had nothing to do here, so he quietly withdrew.

Back at the residence, Miss Qiao was secretly crying in her room. Qiao Yan just waved her hand after learning about it: "Let her cry! This is the truth, and she will have to accept it sooner or later."

When Miss Qiao heard this in the room, she burst into tears again.

Today is not destined to be a peaceful day.

In the evening, the gate of the palace became lively again. It turned out that people from Changsha Palace had come.

"Jun Wang, you are getting old, you should rest in the mansion! Let me deal with the people outside." Qiao Yan hurriedly said.

King Hejian nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you." Then, he really left and left his business alone.

Qiao Yan also hurried out of the door, and saw the people from the Changsha palace standing in two neat lines at the gate of the palace.There was a sedan chair parked not far behind, presumably the person sitting in it was the Changsha King himself.

It's really interesting.However, when a child fights, he can even dispatch the Changsha King himself to confront the Hejian County King, which shows how much the Changsha King spoils this son.

Qiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Changsha Prince's Mansion Chief Shi saw that the person who came was a young man, and he couldn't help showing anger in his eyes: "Who are you? We want to meet the King of Hejian County!"

"I'm really sorry, the king of the county is old and has not seen outsiders. Now I am in charge of the affairs of the palace. If you have anything to do, just tell me. As long as it is not a matter of human life, I can handle it." Make the decision." Qiao Yan said indifferently.

"Just you?" Chang Shi obviously didn't believe it.

Qiao Yan nodded. "That's right, it's me. A certain surname is Qiao, the son of the prefect of Wuzhou. He has lived in the county prince's mansion for ten years. Everyone in Chang'an City knows about this matter. You just need to go out and inquire about it. "

Chang Shi was not at ease when he heard the words, but his face became more and more ugly: "You are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to be the master of the county prince's mansion? If you are sensible, you should step back and invite the real master here. If our prince wants them to Let me explain what happened in the palace today!"

"What happened in the palace? Did something happen in the palace?" Qiao Yan asked.

"Of course! Princess Qingyang, she... She actually bullied our prince in public! As a result, the prince is still unable to get out of bed. Is this how the prince of Hejian teaches the younger generation? The prince of Hejian must give our prince a lesson. Confess!" Chang Shi shouted.

Qiao Yan shrugged. "This kind of thing, you didn't catch the person on the spot, and now it's been half a day, and you just ran over to explain it, isn't it ridiculous? Besides, you said that the princess bullied your son, and she really bullied her? What about witnesses? What about the physical evidence? Where is it?"

"Our son and his four servants are the witnesses, and the physical evidence is naturally their injuries!" Chang Shi said.

"Your own people testify against your own people, what kind of witness is that? Since you said that the princess injured people in public, why don't you invite a few others to testify? As for physical evidence... I believe that the county king is still more willing Believe in the doctor's diagnosis. If these two things are all in order, the county king and princess will definitely give you an explanation. But if not..." Qiao Yan's smiling face was suddenly stained with frost, "Then you should stop talking nonsense here! "

After all, he didn't even look at Changsha Wang Changshi's face, so he turned around and left, and shouted loudly: "Close the door!"

The people in the palace moved quickly, and immediately closed the door with a bang.

Chang Shi was shut out, his face turned black and purple.

He hurriedly turned around and came to the sedan chair, only to see the Changsha King inside, his face livid and trembling with anger.

"It's really deceiving! He is just the son of the prefect of Wuzhou, but relying on the prestige of Hejian County King, he dares to show the face of my dignified prince? Okay, do you want people to prove it? I'll go find it and directly Present it to the sage, and let the sage judge it!" After that, he waved the sedan chair curtain, "At first, I wanted to say that because he is an elder, we can settle the matter in private. But now, since you Don’t blame me for being rude if you don’t want to toast yourself and don’t eat fine wine!”

Outside, the King of Changsha and his party left angrily, but the people in the Prince's Mansion inside were still doing what they should do.

Miss Qiao was originally angry with brother, but after hearing this, she hurried to him: "brother, what are you doing? They should deal with the affairs of the palace by themselves Why do you want to push you to the front to suffer? Also, Princess Abao, she still beats people? She even dared to touch the prince of Changsha? The king of Changsha is the brother of the saint! Although he is not a compatriot of the same mother, But at any rate, they grew up together, and this relationship is comparable to that of the Prince of Hejian County, who knows how many times, she dares!"

"This matter is not as serious as you think. Don't worry, it's fine." Qiao Yan smiled.

"You can still laugh!" Miss Qiao was about to go crazy, "Even if they are fine, what about you? You are the lowest-ranking person here, and you confronted them just now, if they look at the saint's face Lord Hejian and Princess Abao have been spared, but they will definitely not let you go! Brother, why are you so stupid!"

"It's you who are stupid." Qiao Yan patted her head, "Take it easy, you'll be fine, trust me."

How could she believe that!Miss Qiao looked at her elder brother with tears in her eyes, and found that the elder brother who was gentle and gentle at home and kind to everyone seemed to be a different person after returning to the capital.And the key to this is one person—Princess Abao!
She spent the next few days in fear.

However, one day passed, two days passed, three days, four days, five days...

More than ten days passed in a row, and there was no more movement from King Changsha.It's really all right?

Miss Qiao was puzzled, and quickly asked her elder brother, Qiao Yan just patted her head: "Because the Princess is very powerful, they are afraid of her."

No wonder!A little girl, not as old as her, but she pretends to be serious, how can she be amazing?Miss Qiao didn't believe it, and felt that brother was clearly fascinated by the princess, so she went to ask the maid again.

The servant girl covered her lips and said with a smile: "The king of Changsha wants to collect personal evidence, so he has to collect it! There are not a few people who have suffered under the hands of our princess these years, but who has collected personal evidence? Everyone present at the time They will not stand up to testify for them, and the doctor went to see the prince of Changsha, and the final conclusion must be that he is very healthy. And at the time in the Royal Garden, Dugu Guifei did not force the princess to explain, which is The representative saint doesn't care about this matter. If this is the case, what can the king of Changsha do? He can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!"

Miss Qiao was startled when she heard that. "That's it? The King of Changsha gave up?"

"He'd better give up. If he doesn't give up, then the next thing will be interesting!" The servant girl laughed.Miss Qiao inexplicably felt a chill run through her bones, and she hugged her arms subconsciously.

After a few more days, there was no news from King Changsha.The king of Hejian County still stays behind closed doors, and Abao also shuts himself in the room to toss those little bugs.On the other hand, Qiao Yan, he was so busy all day long, he went to the king of the county to say hello in the morning and evening, stayed with A Bao at noon, and the two of them studied bugs together, and had to deal with the affairs of the king's mansion at other times, so he was so busy with a spinning top. like.

After all this, he only took one day out to play with his younger sister.

The brother and sister walked around Qujiang in the morning, and then went to Mudanlou for dinner.During the meal, Qiao Yan and A-mei discussed: "Let's rest for a while after eating, and I will take you to Leyouyuan for a walk. The sunset there is very good, and the princess likes to watch it the most. It's a pity, She doesn't like to go out, so I can only read it and report it to her."

Miss Qiao twitched the corners of her mouth. "Just now you visited Qujiang, you see peony flowers more attentively than I do, that is to say, when you go back, you will paint a picture and give it to the princess, even if you have visited it on her behalf. Go to Leyouyuan in the afternoon, and you have to tell her again Listen. Did you bring me out to play this time, or did you come out for her?"

"Of course it's for you. Wouldn't it be convenient to draw pictures and talk to the princess?" Qiao Yan quickly coughed twice and touched his nose.

Miss Qiao lay down on the table, looking at her brother without blinking her eyes: "Brother, answer me honestly, don't you like this Princess Abao?"

"I've always liked her! Anyone with eyes can tell." Qiao Yan said with a smile, "So when my father and mother said they wanted to marry me, I told them that I would never marry a wife in this life. My life was given by the princess, so my life is naturally hers. I will stay by her side for the rest of my life. Apart from her, I will never put down any woman in my heart. "

"Brother! Is it useful for you to be so infatuated? She obviously doesn't have you in her heart. I've seen it these days, and she doesn't even bother to look at you!" Miss Qiao whispered angrily.

"Then you are wrong. Apart from my relatives, I am the only man the princess can see. She spends more time looking at me than the prince and the others!" Qiao Yan shook her head. , serious way.

As he spoke, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a pleasant and satisfied smile.

Miss Qiao saw it in her eyes and became even more anxious in her heart. "Brother, did she give you a voodoo? The kind of voodoo that makes you only follow her and never betray her for the rest of your life? That's why you are like this?"

"My sister, you think too much. The Princess is not such a person." Qiao Yan laughed.

"I think it is! You are obviously influenced by the Gu insects, so you don't even listen to my words, and even ignore the words of your parents, so you just guard her wholeheartedly. Except for her face... But it's neither yin nor yang, and she doesn't have any coquettishness of a daughter's family, besides playing tricks on you, I don't believe she has any other means to make you stay in that ghostly place willingly!" Miss Qiao said angrily.

Qiao Yan's face sank again. "This time I thought you were an unintentional mistake, not the third time. But it won't be the case next time."

"Brother!" Miss Qiao stomped her feet and shouted.

"Haha, I think this little lady is right! That Princess Abao is neither yin nor yang, and she doesn't look like a woman at all. You have been following her and speaking for her with all your heart, which is very strange. Suspicious!" Suddenly heard a meaningful voice, Miss Qiao's complexion changed, and then she saw a fat and white young gentleman walking towards this side surrounded by several big and three thick boys .

Miss Qiao's face turned pale with fright, she quickly jumped up and hid behind Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan also stood up, and glanced at the other party: "Changsha Prince's son?"

"It's my son!" Changsha Wang Shizi held his head high and looked at him contemptuously, "You must be the young man raised by Princess Abao, right? You are quite handsome, You said if I scratched your face, would she feel distressed when she saw it?"

"She won't." Qiao Yan said, "She will only cure me, and then make your face ten times more expensive than mine."

"Hahaha, you have a big tone! Hearing what you said, I really want to see if she has this ability!" Changsha Wang Shizi gritted his teeth.

These days, he is almost lost to death!

He was bullied in public in the imperial garden, and he was ashamed, but no one stood up to help him.Even Empress Dugu just led Princess Huayang and watched coldly, and only pretended to ask someone to carry him away when he was gone, and sent him out of the palace when he stopped twitching.Knowing that he was being bullied, A Niang went to cry to Father, but Father was anxious and immediately took someone to the county palace to ask for an explanation, but the door was turned away.

Later, they wanted to collect witnesses and physical evidence, but found that no one was willing to cooperate!Everyone said that nothing happened in the imperial garden that day. He fell to the ground and fell because of himself. He had no contact with Princess Abao at all!As for his body... Dad invited all the famous doctors in Chang'an City to see him, and everyone said that he is very good, there is no problem at all!

There is no witness or material evidence, so what are they going to sue?In the end, a friend who was very speculative with him on wine and meat told him quietly: "You must not make trouble with the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. The Hejian County King is not easy to mess with, and that Princess Abao is even more powerful! These years I don't know how many little gentlemen in Chang'an City have suffered from her, and now everyone dares to be angry with her. Now as long as the matter has nothing to do with them, everyone will definitely not stand up, and you are dead too. Take it easy! As long as nothing happened, everyone will live in peace."

I bother!How is it possible to live in peace?He has never suffered such a great humiliation since he was a child!
Naturally, the Prince of Changsha couldn't swallow this breath. These days, he has been thinking about the means of revenge.It's just that the two little ladies, A Ping and A Yue, didn't dare to move around, and A Bao was buried in the county palace and couldn't come out.After finally hearing the news that Qiao Yan's brother and sister were going out today, he hurriedly brought people after him.

It was this kid who dared to shame his father in public that day.Today he will teach him a good lesson, and by the way, slap Hejian County King in the face!
As he thought about it, his eyes had already begun to sparkle with excitement.

Miss Qiao saw it, and quickly grabbed brother's hand.

Qiao Yan patted her on the shoulder, turned around and smiled at Changsha Wang Shizi: "Your Highness, I advise you not to. Now you turn around and leave, there is still time. Otherwise, I will not be able to save you."
