After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

When Chu Zhiyi returned to the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion, he found that the Tiger Guards had all returned.

One by one, they all stood outside the hall, and Qiao Nian was looking at them one by one with red eyes.

Chu Zhiyi was puzzled, and walked forward slowly, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The second brother chuckled helplessly, "Nian Nian is afraid that we will be tortured, so she is checking one by one!"

As soon as the voice fell, the others also laughed.

Qiao Nian, however, had a serious face, "What are you laughing at, brothers? That Xiao Heng's torture method is very cruel! I have seen it!"

"It depends on the person." Chu Zhiyi's voice softened a little, "When dealing with the enemy, our methods are always cruel, but when dealing with our own people, it is different."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but be surprised, "Our own people?"

How could Xiao Heng and them be their own people? !

But Chu Zhiyi said, "We are all generals in the same dynasty, so we are naturally one of our own. Not to mention now, if we go to the battlefield one day, we may have to give our lives to each other."

The sixth brother beside him also said, "We all know that Xiao Heng dare not do anything reckless, so we followed him obediently. Otherwise, how could those guards catch us?"

"Don't worry, now the grievances of the tiger guards have been cleared, which is also a good thing."

"Yes, don't worry, Nian Nian, the brothers are all fine."

The brothers talked to each other, which really made Qiao Nian feel relieved.

But thinking of Xiao Heng's stubborn temper, she was still a little worried, "Then do you think Xiao Heng will play other tricks?"

The tiger guards didn't say anything.

They didn't know Xiao Heng well, so they couldn't say for sure.

But Chu Zhiyi thought of Xiao Heng's expression in the palace today. When he heard the four words "beauty is a disaster", he clearly saw that the muscles on Xiao Heng's face were tense.

It can be seen that he can understand what his brother meant.

So, he slowly said, "It shouldn't happen for the time being."

Qiao Nian didn't know why Chu Zhiyi was so sure, but since Chu Zhiyi said so, she naturally believed it.

She nodded slightly at the moment.

But she heard Chu Zhiyi say again, "Tomorrow the palace will set up a welcoming banquet for this king, and the emperor has named you to go."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The tiger guards were also puzzled, "Nian Nian is going too? It shouldn't be a Hongmen Banquet, right?"

Qiao Nian was just Chu Zhiyi's adopted sister. The emperor specifically named her to enter the palace, and she always felt that there was something wrong with her.

Even Qiao Nian frowned.

A trace of worry rose in her heart.

But since the emperor named her, she naturally couldn't refuse.

Therefore, on the second day, Qiao Nian followed Chu Zhiyi into the palace.

The banquet had not yet begun, and the women who entered the palace should go to the harem to pay homage to the queen.

Qiao Nian was naturally unwilling, but since she had entered the palace, she had to go.

The nanny who led the way led a group of women from high-ranking officials to the queen's bedroom. Qiao Nian followed with her eyes downcast. She didn't say much along the way. She just wanted to hide her figure in the crowd. She wished that the queen couldn't see her from beginning to end.

Not long after, the group saw the queen.

Everyone saluted.

The queen swept her eyes over everyone, then smiled, raised her hand, and said, "Stand up!"

The elegance in her gestures was no different from three years ago.

Qiao Nian stood up with everyone and stepped aside.

She really tried hard to hide herself.

But Princess Shu Yuan next to the queen still saw her at a glance, "Hey, isn't this Miss Qiao?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian had no choice but to step forward and bow, "Greetings to the Queen, and to the Princess."

"It's really you!" Princess Shu Yuan's eyes suddenly burst into light, and she looked at Qiao Nian with ill intentions, and then said, "But I heard that the Marquis' Mansion said you are a real daughter? So is your surname Lin or Qiao now?"

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and did not look at Princess Shu Yuan. She replied respectfully, "I have severed my relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. No matter what my surname is, I will have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

"Is that so?" Princess Shu Yuan pretended to be surprised, and then turned to look at the Queen as if she didn't understand anything, "Mother, you said last time that Madam Lin had hysteria and went crazy. Could it be that it was because Qiao Nian severed her relationship with the Marquis' Mansion and was stimulated?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's heart suddenly jumped.

Crazy?

Not really?

Although Madam Lin's behavior was indeed strange last time, the Marquis' Mansion had a doctor after all, so how could she be so crazy?

Qiao Nian's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and all she could think of was Madam Lin's nonsense that day.

Seeing that Qiao Nian didn't react much, Princess Shu Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, with a bit of displeasure in her eyes.

Seeing this, the Queen slowly spoke, "No matter what, Madam Lin is your biological mother, and her grace in raising you is greater than the sky. No matter what grievances you had in the past, now that your mother is sick, you should go back to see her."

Suddenly she started to teach her a lesson?

Qiao Nian raised her eyes and glanced at the Queen, and saw that the latter was sitting next to Princess Shu Yuan, with a kind face.

She suddenly thought of the three years when her grandmother came to ask the Queen for mercy several times, and whether the Queen had used such a kind face to drive her grandmother out.

Her heart couldn't help but ache.

The expression naturally became a little ugly.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath and then responded, "Yes."

But it was a promise, whether she would really do it or not was not something the queen could control.

She acted respectfully, so naturally others could not see through her thoughts.

On the other side, Princess Shu Yuan saw her change her expression, and her expression gradually became proud.

"I heard that Miss Lin came back with Prince Pingyang?"

She knew that Qiao Nian had broken off the relationship with the Marquis's Mansion, but now she still called her Miss Lin.

Qiao Nian just pretended that she didn't understand Princess Shu Yuan's deliberate provocation, and still responded respectfully and softly, "Yes."

"Miss Lin is really capable. First it was Xiao Heng, then Xiao He, and now there is another Prince Pingyang. Unlike this princess, I can't find a husband I like until now. I have to ask for advice when I have time."

These words were undoubtedly pointing at Qiao Nian's nose and scolding her for being shameless.

Qiao Nian still pretended not to understand, and clasped her hands tightly in front of her.

She came here with Chu Zhiyi today, and she couldn't cause any trouble for Chu Zhiyi.

Princess Shu Yuan wanted to say something, so let her say it!

Anyway, she wouldn't lose a few pieces of meat because of these words.

But the more Qiao Nian ignored her, the more uncomfortable Princess Shu Yuan felt.

At that moment, as if she had thought of something, she stood up and came forward with a cup of tea, "This princess is sincerely asking Miss Lin for advice, I hope Miss Lin won't refuse."

After saying that, she sent the cup to Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian didn't take it.

She raised her eyes and looked at Princess Shu Yuan, not understanding what Princess Shu Yuan was going to do.

But she saw that Princess Shu Yuan suddenly smiled, then her hands loosened, and the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Princess Shu Yuan exclaimed, "Why did Miss Lin deliberately break my teacup?!"
