the first lady

Chapter 117

The more Qiao Linger heard it, the more surprised she became. Only the emperor should know about secret orders, right?Why would Zongzheng Yi know?
"What does the turmoil in the Yi tribe have to do with elder brother? It's not that elder brother wants to go back to the capital, it's because of the imperial decree. Even if there is a problem, Emperor Wu should be the only one to blame." Qiao Linger asked after silence.

"Emperor Wu may have known about the movements of the Yi people early in the morning, so he let the eldest brother return to Beijing." Zong Zhengyi explained, seeing that she was still puzzled, he said: "The Yi people and the Nanwu Kingdom have concluded an equal treaty. Although the former chief of the Yi clan and Nanwu Kingdom were peaceful on the surface, it is easy to see his ambition from the incident of the robbers earlier, and he is in fact at odds with Nanwu Kingdom. But the current chief of the Yi clan is Emperor Wu's pawn, in order not to let people Talking gossip, in order not to let the big brother notice the tricks, so..."

Needless to say, Qiao Linger understood the next words, Emperor Wu's thoughts spread so far, even the distant Yi tribe...

"Emperor Wu is a bastard, and so is Helian Feiyan. I don't want to be oppressed by them any more." Qiao Ling'er gritted her teeth and said, wishing to go up and bite them, especially when they always oppressed her. Just can't stand it.

Zongzheng Yi looked at her really cute, and said with a low smile, "Then I can't bear it."

"Are you serious?" Qiao Ling'er looked up at him in surprise.

"You can't always be suppressed and don't fight back, can you?" Zong Zhengyi smiled lightly.

"Of course not, but... how do I fight back?" Qiao Linger asked.

Hearing that, Zong Zhengyi frowned slightly, seeing her serious but curious look, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of?" Qiao Ling'er raised her eyebrows and asked.

"The other party is the royal family." Zong Zhengyi chuckled.

Qiao Linger frowned slightly, then sneered, "It's because it's the royal family, so I'm not afraid."

"Oh?" Zongzheng Yi was surprised.

Qiao Ling'er narrowed her eyes and said sarcastically, "Apart from their identities and status, what else can they do well?"

Zong Zhengyi looked at Qiao Ling'er with a slight smile. He had forgotten that he had seen her so angry at the palace banquet, and now it seemed a little unreasonable to ask her the question of whether she was afraid.

"Ling'er, after we go back, the situation in the capital will definitely change. At that time...don't be so reckless, you know?" Zong Zhengyi said softly, with a pampering tone that he didn't realize himself.

"How can I be reckless?" Qiao Ling'er snorted coldly. This situation will be broken sooner or later. After the breakup, it will definitely be a one-on-one war. If she is reckless, she will only stay in her old ways and die.As long as there is a little hope, even if it is against the royal family, she will never give up lightly.

But obviously, she seemed to be thinking in the wrong direction.

Seeing that she was eager to try, Zong Zhengyi couldn't help but shook his head, "Linger, do you have such deep hatred for Emperor Wu?"

If he remembers correctly, Emperor Wu just gave the marriage and took advantage of the Qiao family's background, so he shouldn't look like he can't wait to tear them into pieces.

Or, could it be that her hatred came from giving her a marriage to someone she didn't love?

Thinking of this possibility, Zongzheng Yi's expression changed subtly, and he even felt an unprecedented sense of fear. Could this be the reason?

Qiao Ling'er didn't notice the change in his expression, but the angry gnashing of teeth didn't decrease, on the contrary, it became more serious. What she said next completely eliminated the doubts in Zong Zhengyi's heart.

"That bastard Emperor Wu poisoned you, isn't it possible to tear him into pieces?" Qiao Ling'er's heart tightened when she thought of Zong Zhengyi's pale face like a ghost at that time. Yes, I was really afraid that something would happen to him at that time.

In addition to Emperor Wu, there is also a wicked prince, Helian Feiyan, who actually thought of using the fifth princess to marry him to destroy them. How could she bear this tone?
Zong Zhengyi laughed dumbfounded, his heart was surrounded by warmth.

This woman is not the woman in the rumors, so she can't think about what she thinks in the usual way, she can always impress people.

"Ling'er, with your words, I feel at ease." Zong Zhengyi gently kissed her forehead.

Qiao Linger's heart skipped a beat, and she could feel Zong Zhengyi's trembling hands, not because of her body, but because of happiness.She could feel his joy when he said this.

"Promise me one thing." Suddenly, Zong Zhengyi let go of her again, and raised her chin, making her look at him.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Linger's consciousness was a little fuzzy. Although the relationship between the two had further developed, it was still uncontrollable and exciting.

"You are not allowed to put yourself in danger again, and you are not allowed to act first, you know?" Zong Zhengyi said seriously. He still has a lot of grudges against her using himself as a bait to lure the murderer out.

"Oh..." Qiao Ling'er agreed shyly, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, which was so alluring.

"and also……"

"Huh?" Qiao Ling'er met those eyes, suddenly feeling a little guilty.

Zong Zhengyi lowered his head, leaned close to her lips, touched her lips lightly with his fingers, and said in a hoarse voice: "From now on, no one else is allowed to touch your place!"

"How do you know?" Qiao Ling'er looked at him in horror and guilt.

The corners of Zongzheng Yi's lips curled slightly, and he said aggrievedly: "Ling'er, you smell like someone else on your lips, aren't you afraid I'll taste it?"

Qiao Ling'er was completely ashamed, her face flushed, she lowered her head and apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice him, he just..." That damn Wuyou, she will never spare him!
That well-behaved appearance made Zongzheng Yi's smile deepen a little, he raised her chin with one finger, and rubbed his lips lightly: "Be careful in the future, you know?"

"Yeah, I'll definitely pay attention." Qiao Ling'er nodded like a pounding garlic, and the next moment, her red lips were grabbed.

The process of walking in Qilian Mountains is actually not slow, but because there are no people, so the rest is to set up tents in the mountains to rest.

Although it was in the mountains, Qiao Ling'er didn't feel uncomfortable at all. It was similar to camping. Although the honeymoon was not satisfactory, it gave her a lot of experience.

Because she went to bed earlier and was more sensitive, Qiao Linger woke up early in the morning.

There is a clear stream near here, but it can be used as washing water.By the way, you can also tidy up your appearance. A beautiful face is not necessarily for others to appreciate, but also for yourself to appreciate, right?

Qiao Ling'er's aesthetics has always been good, especially she likes to make her face radiant every time she performs tasks, and now that she is here, it is naturally indispensable.

Suddenly, she noticed a gaze, and immediately looked in the opposite direction, but she didn't see anything, could it be her illusion?
"Linger." Zong Zhengyi's voice came from behind.

Qiao Ling'er turned around, and what she saw was a man bathed in the morning sun, as warm as jade, like a heavenly official, exuding a holy luster all over his body, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made people lose their minds.

"Yi." Qiao Ling'er called out softly, suddenly feeling very happy. Such a man who looks like a banished fairy is actually her "boyfriend". If this is in modern times, I don't know how to be envious How many women?Although there are many others who are envious in this world.

"What were you looking at just now?" Zong Zhengyi had already walked in front of her.

Hearing that Qiao Ling'er was slightly surprised, but thinking that he was a keen person, he was no longer curious.

"I felt like someone was staring at us just now." Qiao Ling'er said with a smile while arranging his clothes a little.

Zong Zhengyi naturally knew why she did that, and said flatly, "I'll let Yueying take a look, it's fine."

"En!" Qiao Ling'er didn't stop, no matter what happened, it's better to find out in advance just in case.

Unexpectedly, the two turned around at the same time, and two ragged men appeared behind them.Each of them carried a big knife in their hands, and their left and right eyes were covered, which was obviously a one-eyed dragon.

When Qiao Ling'er wanted to laugh looking at the weird appearance, the tall man first said fiercely: "I planted this mountain, and I opened this tree..."

"Wait!" Qiao Ling'er stretched out his hand and interrupted his classic words after he had only said a few words.

"What are you doing?" Another fat man asked ferociously, staring at the remaining eye, as if dissatisfied with being interrupted.

Zong Zhengyi looked sideways at Qiao Linger, listening to her next words.

Qiao Ling'er suppressed the smile in her heart, coughed lightly, then clasped her fists like a chivalrous woman and said, "Brother, I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, so I have to point out a mistake in what you two said."

"It turns out that the girl is also from the Jianghu, sorry!" The fat man also clasped his fists like a Jianghu, and then jumped away from the tall man and took a step back.

That clown-like appearance made Qiao Ling'er smile even deeper. If she hadn't found it funny listening to what they said, she would have laughed shamelessly by now.

"I don't know the girl just interrupted me, what advice do you have?" The tall man looked vigilant, but he looked like a monkey no matter what.

"I don't dare to give advice, but I just want to say the opening speech to Xiongtai. What Xiongtai said just now is 'I planted this mountain, and I opened this tree'. As far as I know, it should be 'I opened this mountain, and this I planted the tree." Qiao Ling'er strongly suppressed the laughter in her heart, but her trembling body narrated her mood at this time.

"Did I say that?" The tall man asked the fat man beside him stupidly.
