Chapter 190 Don't Reveal Your Identity

After finishing speaking in a cold voice, Huang Puzi Xiao, who turned around and left, casually threw the bundle in his hand to the side.

After walking a few steps, as if remembering something, he immediately used lightness kung fu and chased in the direction of the bag.

Finally, he picked up the burden at the moment when it was about to fall into the water.

As if feeling the warmth of that woman from Shen Jinyan on the bag, he put the bag on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Smelling the smell that belonged to that woman alone in the bag, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. With a faint smile, the stiff lines on his face softened by two points.

"My lord—"

"Is she not back yet?"

With a somewhat cold voice sounded in the flower hall, Bai Yu secretly said something unlucky, so he could only answer under pressure, "If you go back to the prince, Miss Shen hasn't come back yet."

As soon as Bai Yu's words fell, there was a crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl, and then there was the sound of footsteps leaving. When she raised her head, she realized that her prince had already left. The dishes and rice were not moved at all.

At this time, Huang Pu Xize was sulking in the palace, but Shen Jinyan who was in the Qiao's mansion didn't know anything about it.

"Sincerely, I'm afraid I won't be able to come when you get married tomorrow."

Looking at Qiao Jinling with a face full of guilt, Shen Jinyan smiled lightly, "I know that the Qiao family has never had much contact with anyone in court, so naturally, Jin Ling, you will not violate the ancestral precepts."

Hearing this, Qiao Jinling shook his head and said: "It's not that the ancestor's precepts cannot be violated, but I violated it, and I have to violate it to the extent available. In other words, if you say now that you don't want to marry the Ninth Prince, I can think about it." The solution is to take you away now, at worst, the Qiao family will abandon their foundation in Huangpu Kingdom."

"Jin Ling and you are enough for me today." Shen Jinyan said with a smile, deeply moved by these words.

If she was more self-willed and asked Qiao Jinling to give up the Qiao family's foundation in Huangpu Kingdom and take her away, if they were not together in the end, everything Qiao Jinling had sacrificed for her would be in vain.

In other words, with the goal of that man Huang Pu Xize, he will definitely not give up easily, and more people from the Qiao family will definitely be involved. In this way, this is not what she wants to see.

In her eyes, Qiao Jinling was a lotus that came out of the silt, noble but not demonic. He should have lived in that pure land instead of living on the edge of the abyss between life and death every day.

"Sincerely, you really want to marry the Ninth Prince."

"Jin Ling, you are the second person to ask me this question today."

After finishing speaking with a smile, Shen Jinyan took a sip of the tea in the cup, and after putting down the cup, seeing that Qiao Jinling's serious gaze was still on her, he lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

"To marry the Ninth Prince is indeed what I promised to marry, but we each get what we need. I have made it so clear now, Jin Ling, do you understand what I want to express?"

Qiao Jinling nodded, "I understand, people can't help themselves, just be careful not to regret it."

"Who says I don't regret it, I regret it now!" Shen Jinyan grinned and said, "I regret that I married too early, so it will be difficult to find the opportunity to go to Jinxia Mountain with you, Jin Ling, to watch the sunset. "

"If you want to go, just ask someone to let me know."

"I'm relieved to have your words." Shen Jinyan smiled and said: "Actually, when I promised to marry the Ninth Prince, I told the Ninth Prince that they would not interfere with each other's lives after marriage. For one thing, I obviously have to be subject to some restrictions, but secretly no one cares about me, so I'm still free, and I just need to find a reason, and there is no place in the world that I can't go to, so, Jin Ling, you have to be ready to take me to Jinxia Mountain to watch the sunset, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

After listening to these words, Qiao Jinling felt that everything was reasonable, and immediately said with a smile: "Since you are so smart, the Ninth Prince married you, it must be a headache."

"Jin Ling, are you making fun of me for playing too many little tricks?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth."

"I think you're just laughing at me." Shen Jinyan said coldly, but the smile on his brows was hard to hide.

"Sincerely, it's getting late. Tomorrow is the day of your wedding with the Ninth Prince. You are staying with me too late now. Are you really okay after you go back?" Qiao Jinling asked worriedly.

Shen Jinyan was about to say it's okay, when Lin Yuan's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

"My lord, the Ninth Prince has arrived at the residence and is sitting in the flower hall in the front yard."

"Be honest, are you sure you can still be free after getting married?"

Faced with Qiao Jinling's joke, Shen Jinyan couldn't help frowning. This really meant Cao Cao Cao Cao.

She went to see Huang Puzi Xiao during the day, but was interrupted by that man Huang Pu Xize. She was grateful in her heart, but this time, she always felt that this man came at the wrong time.

Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, and then Shen Jinyan said with a bit of embarrassment: "Isn't it freedom? As long as I have healthy limbs, no one can stop me from going where I want to go."

"It's best if you have this confidence." Qiao Jinling said with a smile, and then urged after a pause: "The Ninth Prince is obviously here for you, so let's go out together, and save nine times." The prince sat there alone for a long time."

In a low voice, Shen Jinyan got up from his seat, and Qiao Jinling also got up, and the two walked out of the yard quickly, chatting and walking towards the flower hall in the front yard.

Qiao's family, who had been waiting outside the entrance of the flower hall, saw Qiao Jinling and the others coming, and quickly surrounded them.

"Patriarch, you are finally here. The Ninth Prince has been here for a while, and he is sitting in the flower hall now. We—"

Seeing that those people opened their mouths and wanted to say something, I could hear the worry in their words. Knowing what they were worried about, Qiao Jinling slightly raised her hand to stop those people's movements, and said flatly, "You don't have to, uncles. Thank you, I'll take care of it myself."

Although Qiao Jinling was humble, everyone in the Qiao family knew that this person was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The most annoying thing was that the Qiao family didn't listen to his instructions. Now that he said there was a way to deal with it, those members of the Qiao family also They all retreated two points one after another, and directly let go of the way into the flower hall.

As soon as he stepped into the flower hall, Shen Jinyan felt an oppressive atmosphere.

When he looked up, he saw Huang Pu Xize sitting on the first seat, carelessly turning the jade wrench on his right thumb.

Although it was only a small movement, it made people unable to guess his thoughts for a while.

"I would like to say that I have met the Ninth Prince—"

Shen Jinyan blessed her body and saluted, while Qiao Jinling who followed her into the flower hall directly knelt on the ground and bowed to Huang Pu Xize who was seated first, "Jin Ling met the Ninth Prince, and the prince is a thousand years old!"

"Get up!" Huang Pu Xize said indifferently, but his eyes kept falling on Qiao Jinling's body. After seeing him get up from the ground, he still had his head down and his attitude was slightly respectful. He said with a half-smile: "Patriarch Qiao Not only is he the number one son who is famous all over the world, he just returned to the imperial city in less than a few months, he squeezed out other candidates for the Patriarch of the Qiao family, and successfully took the position of the Patriarch of the Qiao family. He is really young and outstanding, and his strength should not be underestimated. .”

"Thank you, Jin Ling, for the praise from the Ninth Prince. It's not because of Jin Ling's amazing strength, but because those older brothers and younger brothers showed mercy to Jin Ling, and Jin Ling was able to get to where he is today."

"Whether it is true or not, Mr. Qiao can secure his position. From a scholar to a businessman, he can become familiar with the operation in a short period of time, and make the business of the Qiao family reach a new height. This is not something ordinary people can do. of."

"The Ninth Prince's words are serious. It's not that Jin Ling took good care of it, but the rest of the Qiao family and Jin Ling worked together, which made the Qiao family's business achieve better results in the past."

"In any case, the Qiao family has flourished in your hands, Patriarch Qiao, and my king's visit today was also ordered by the current emperor to come to the Qiao family to negotiate with you, Patriarch Qiao, to purchase grain and transport it to the border barracks."

"Lord Ninth, the food purchased by the court at Qiao's house has not changed every year. I wonder if there will be any changes this year?"

"The current amount given by the emperor remains unchanged, so Patriarch Qiao only needs to send it to the border military camp according to the distribution in previous years. As for the silver taels for buying food, someone will send it to Qiao's mansion at another day. Patriarch Qiao always asks people to count it. That's it."

"I would like to obey the Ninth Prince's order." Qiao Jinling responded.

"The matter of my king's coming here has been settled, and it's getting late, so I won't bother Patriarch Qiao."

After finishing speaking, Huang Pu Xize got up from his seat and walked quickly outside the flower hall.

"Jin Ling sends off the Ninth Prince!"

Qiao Jinling's voice rang out, and the voices of other people outside the flower hall also rang out.

This scene changed so fast that Shen Jinyan was caught off guard.

Seeing that Huang Pu Xize's man had a cold face from the beginning, he didn't look at her at all, and now he walked away without looking back, Shen Jinyan knew that the man had fallen ill again, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and went forward to poke her Qiao Jinling's hand was attached to his ear and whispered.

"Jin Ling, I think the Ninth Prince seems to be angry today, and it's getting late, I'll take his carriage back home today, and I'll come back to see you when I have time tomorrow. You're in Qiao's mansion, protect yourself Take care of yourself, and remember to take care of your body, I'm still waiting for you to take me to Jinxia Mountain to watch the sunset, well, I'm done talking, I'm leaving!"

Seeing Shen Jinyan's petite figure running out of the flower hall like a gust of wind and then out of the gate in a few turns, got into the carriage, and completely disappeared from sight, Qiao Jinling looked back sadly.

After instructing the other people who were still waiting outside the entrance of the flower hall about the delivery of imperial food, Qiao Jinling also quickly walked out of the flower hall and headed for the attic hidden behind the bamboo forest in the backyard.

"Son—"

Lin Yuan's words sounded behind him, Qiao Jinling didn't turn his head, and continued to stare at the crescent moon in the sky in a daze.

"Lin Yuan, how are things arranged for tomorrow?"

After a long time, such a sentence suddenly sounded in the room. Thinking that all the things that his son had arranged for him to do earlier had been done, Lin Yuan answered in the affirmative.

"Young master, don't worry, all the arrangements have been prepared."

"Since that's the case, we only need to follow the plan tomorrow." Qiao Jinling said coldly, and after a pause, he asked again, "Is there any other useful news in the past two days?"

"Returning to the son, the witty saying said that there are many secret guards in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and their martial arts are strong. She didn't make any more progress for a while."

A low grace was the answer, Qiao Jinling thought for a while and said, "You remember to tell the joke, the things I explained are important, but it is more important to save her own life, and you remember to tell her again, don't wait until As a last resort, don't reveal her identity in front of Shen Jinyan."
