the first lady

Chapter 81

Qiao Ling'er looked at Zong Zhengyi slightly in a daze, and finally reached out to take his hand, stood up and pressed a thin kiss on that smooth forehead.

"I promise you, I will tell you everything in the future."

Qiao Ling'er couldn't find any flaws in this man, meeting him was probably the most proud thing in her life.

Zong Zhengyi didn't seem to have expected her to make such a move, and sat stiffly in the same place until her teasing voice burst out laughing.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Ling'er looked at Zongzheng Yi who was stunned and didn't react and smiled happily, all the complicated emotions seemed to be blown away.

There was a hint of embarrassment in the eyes of Zong Zhengyi who was being teased, his face was reddish, and his appearance really made people have the urge to pick it up.

"Big brother should be back in two days. The mansion might be a little busy in these two days. Ling'er, don't let Qingye and Zhuiming leave your side, do you know?" Zong Zhengyi changed the topic, and was caught by her He was so flustered by a kiss that he really didn't want to be embarrassed any longer.

When Zongzheng Yi mentioned it, Qiao Linger's smile disappeared, and she asked, "Yi, I don't want to worry about Emperor Wu's purpose now, it's just between the elder brother and the sixth princess..."

Hearing what Qiao Ling'er said, Zong Zhengyi also understood her worry, and gently put his hands together, taking her into his arms.

At that time, Qiao Ling'er's little heart couldn't bear it, and such close contact really caught people off guard!

But Zongzheng Yi seemed to be very used to such a close distance, hugged her and said: "I am very clear about the feelings of the eldest brother for the sixth princess. Enough."

Hearing this, Qiao Linger nodded, and suddenly thought of another question: "I still don't know why Emperor Wu didn't agree with eldest brother and sixth princess two years ago? Even if eldest brother is a general, maybe, what I said is possible , may be wounded and killed on the battlefield, but this should not constitute a reasonable reason, right?"

"This reason is very far-fetched." Zongzhengyi took her words, looked at her puzzled look and explained to her: "The emperor is actually just jealous of the power of our Zongzheng family, Linger, you forget that we are family members What is your identity?"

After what Zongzhengyi said, Qiao Linger suddenly realized: "Father is the last prime minister. Although he has retired now, he still has a pivotal position in the court; and you became the prime minister two years ago, and you are very powerful; Uncle established your family into a third-generation family; the eldest brother was named a great general, and if the sixth princess is married to your family, this power... is definitely enough to suppress the royal family! I think that when Emperor Wu appointed the eldest brother You were already very uncomfortable when you were a general, right?"

Zongzheng Yi laughed, "Ling'er, isn't my home also your home?"

"Ah?" Qiao Ling'er was taken aback, she had never thought of this question.When Zongzheng Yi said it, he couldn't help but blush slightly.Yes, she and Zongzheng Yi are now a family, a real family...

Zong Zhengyi continued: "Linger, you may not know one thing..."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Ling'er came back to her senses and asked in doubt.

"Brother was not named the Great General of Zhennan just because he was born in Zongzheng's family." Zongzheng said with a smile, "Brother was just like other ordinary soldiers at the bottom of the barracks at the beginning. In several battles Brother Zhong has performed outstandingly, and later he showed his military leadership in the war, and all the soldiers respected him and were willing to listen to his orders, so the emperor bestowed him the title of Zhennan General."

Qiao Ling'er's eyes widened when she heard this, "I heard that the third prince was conferred directly by Emperor Wu. The elder brother actually climbed to this position step by step by relying on his own strength?"

"Big Brother has such a strong personality, and this is also his wish since he was a child." Speaking of Zong Zhengye, Zong Zhengyi also admired him very much.

"Brother is really awesome!" Qiao Ling'er unconsciously uttered such a sentence, and it sounded full of excitement.

"Huh?" Zong Zhengyi tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.

Seeing it like this, Qiao Linger immediately realized what she said, and hurried to remedy: "It means that the elder brother is too powerful. By the way, it is because the elder brother took the position of the general of Zhennan by virtue of his own strength, so Emperor Wu has So I hate you... our family's influence?" When she said "our family", her face became slightly hot.

When Zong Zhengyi heard her say "our family", there was warmth in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more gentle.

"So in order not to let our family's power continue to expand, the emperor does not allow eldest brother to have any contact with the sixth princess." Zongzheng Yi said.

Qiao Ling'er snorted coldly: "But now eldest brother is a very important person, connecting our family with the royal family, so Emperor Wu is so impatient!"

Being calculated like this all the time, Qiao Linger felt very aggrieved. If she wanted to explode, she would definitely explode once.

Zong Zhengyi looked at the outspoken woman, with a hint of pampering in his smile that he didn't even notice.

"Don't worry, big brother won't let others manipulate you." Zong Zhengyi's eyes flashed sharply when he said this.

Qiao Ling'er turned her face to look at Zong Zhengyi, and said after a long silence, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell. You have to be careful these few days!" Maybe she was too sensitive, but A pair of calculating eyes always inadvertently appeared in her mind, making her uneasy.

The straightforward concern made Zongzheng Yi feel extremely warm in his heart, and he couldn't help but deepen his smile: "I will pay attention, and so will you."

Candlelight shrouded the two dependent people, bringing the warmth of a room.The outside world, no matter how many conspiracies and calculations there are, seems to be unable to destroy the atmosphere between these two people.

"boom--"

A loud sound came from the roof, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside.

Zong Zhengyi let go of Qiao Linger, and the two looked at each other before walking outside.

Qingye and Lanfeng were already standing at the door, while Yueying, together with Zhuiming, teamed up to deal with a man in black.

"I've been following Qiao Ling'er for a day, are you finally willing to show up?" Zhui Ming sneered while making frivolous moves.

In fact, the Blood Slaves and Ji Nu of the Four Rakshasas were not the only ones following them on the street during the day. The fact that the Four Rakshasas were afraid of light already showed that they would not easily show up in the sun.

Qiao Ling'er had already noticed this other follower from the beginning, but told Qingye and Zhuiming not to startle the snake, and before they knew what the follower's purpose was, it was the best way to stay still.

The masked man in black didn't speak, but kept dodging.

Qingye frowned, "Ma'am, this man in black is very familiar with the martial arts methods of chasing life."

"Really?" Qiao Linger watched the man in black's dodge, but she also saw the clues in her eyes, and said to Zhui Ming: "Zui Ming, he understands your moves, but he is not used to them."

Zhui Ming, who was wrestling with the man in black, was originally puzzled by this man's martial arts. Now that Qiao Linger said this, he immediately realized: Although the man in black can break through his moves, his movements are very unfamiliar. Learn quickly and deliberately.

The corner of Zhui Ming's mouth curled into a cruel smile, and the blood-red sword in his hand accelerated, while sneering, "I'm really curious about who is the one who has been compared with me and is still alive!" Having tried it, it is absolutely impossible to know his martial arts and the number of ways.

Hearing what Zhui Ming said, a look of panic flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he wanted to run away after facing Yueying's palm.

"Want to leave?" Zhui Ming saw his intention at a glance, and in an instant he appeared in front of the man in black.

Four smoke bombs appeared between the fingers of the man in black, Zhui Ming couldn't dodge it, the smoke bomb had already landed and white smoke rose, immediately enveloped Zhui Ming, Yue Ying and Qiao Linger Zongzhengyi who were chasing up. in it.

"Miss, Uncle, this is mi medicine, eat this quickly." Lanfeng handed two pills to Qiao Linger, Zong Zhengyi and Qingye as soon as the smoke appeared, and waited for them to take them. After picking it up, he quickly stepped forward and gave the other two to Zhuiming and Yueying.

The smoke is used as a shield, it comes and goes as fast as it goes.

If it's just the smoke used as a shield, it doesn't actually affect the speed of chasing after life, but if the smoke bomb contains a strong milo, it will be a hindrance to him.

When the smoke dissipated, the man in black had already disappeared without a trace. Even if he tried to catch up, he didn't know which direction the man in black was fleeing.

"My lord, madam, are you all right?" Lan Feng asked worriedly.

Qiao Linger shook her head and turned to Zongzheng Yi, "Yi, how are you?"

Zongzheng Yi smiled slightly, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"Damn, Lan Feng, what kind of medicine is this?" Before Qiao Ling'er could open her mouth, Fang Zhuiming's voice with strong anger rang out.

"It's Zuiyue." Lan Feng replied after a moment of silence.

"Zuiyue, the most powerful medicine among mi medicines?" Yueying asked in surprise.He immediately held his breath after he noticed that there was mi drug in the smoke, but he never thought that he was actually the king of mi drug.

"Damn it, even Zuiyue can get it!" Zhui Ming punched a pillar beside him.

Ordinary mi drugs no longer had any threatening effect on him, but if it was Zuiyue, let alone him, even an elephant could faint in an instant.Therefore, he, who was supposed to catch the man in black, missed the opportunity because his body became weak for a moment.

"Is this mi drug very powerful?" Qiao Ling'er asked after a moment of silence.

Aoba nodded, "Ma'am, Zuiyue was developed by evil doctors, and there is no miraculous medicine in the world that can compare to it."
