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

Concubine De Gui held Qiao Nian's hand tightly.

Although she had a good discussion with Qiao Nian just now, she knew that Qiao Nian would not let anything happen to King Ming.

Because King Ming is her only way out.

Lin Ye said that the exchange time was set at midnight tonight, so Concubine Hude said a few more words of concern and gratitude to Qiao Nian, and then asked Qiao Nian to go back and rest.

Qiao Nian bowed and left. The burn on her shoulder was still aching, but she still stood upright and strode forward, ignoring the two people following her closely.

Until, we arrived at the palace gate.

Looking at the Marquis's carriage parked outside the door, Qiao Nian stepped forward without thinking.

But before she could get into the car, Xiao Heng's voice came from behind, "I will pretend to be a servant and go with you."

He wanted to tell Qiao Nian that he would follow her and there was no need to be afraid.

However, Qiao Nian just looked back at him and couldn't help but asked sarcastically, "Is General Xiao trying to protect me, or is he trying to protect Prince Ming?"

He said he would follow her, so if it was a matter of life and death, would he protect King Ming or her?

The answer is obvious.

He pretended to be a servant not for her, but to follow the emperor's order to bring Prince Ming back safely.

Therefore, his special emphasis now seems extremely ridiculous.

Xiao Heng said nothing, only listened to Qiao Nian sneer and got into the car.

On the side, Lin Ye came up and patted him on the shoulder before following him into the carriage.

Unexpectedly, a small foot suddenly came out of the carriage and kicked Lin Ye down before he could get into the carriage.

Lin Ye took three steps back before standing still. He couldn't help being startled and shouted into the carriage, "Qiao Nian! What are you doing!"

However, Qiao Nian reached out and opened one side of the curtain, with a look of indifference on his face, "It's against the rules for a man and a woman to sit together in a carriage."

"Are you crazy?" Lin Ye frowned, "I am you..."

Lin Ye wanted to say that he was her brother, what was wrong with him?

However, the strong sarcasm in Qiao Nian's eyes made him swallow all the rest of his words.

Brother?

In this world, which brother would give a love potion to his own sister and send it to another man's bed?

What's more, there is no blood relationship between them. If they ride in a carriage together, they will indeed attract criticism.

Then he frowned and said nothing.

Qiao Nian had already lowered the car curtain and ordered the driver to drive away.

Watching the carriage go further and further away, Lin Ye couldn't help but turn his left foot.

Huh, it seems like the ankle is twisted.

But he didn't expect a burst of low laughter from behind, "Her temperament has really not changed."

I still hold grudges like that, and I will retaliate.

Lin Ye seemed to remember that when he took Qiao Nian out of the palace, he kicked Qiao Nian out of the carriage. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and turned to glare at Xiao Heng, "Her temperament is not the result of your pampering?"

In the past, whenever Qiao Nian was bullied, he would come back and complain to them.

Sometimes the opponent is more powerful, or is much bigger than them. Lin Ye will choose to tolerate it temporarily after weighing the pros and cons.

But almost every time, Xiao Heng would choose to fight back. If he couldn't do it clearly, he would do it in a negative way.

As a result, Qiao Nian became more and more unscrupulous and vindictive.

Looking at the carriage driving away, Xiao Heng also remembered what happened when he was a child.

He has always had a calm temperament, but as soon as he sees Qiao Nian looking for him with two lines of tears in her eyes, he will put down the book in his hand and drag Qiao Nian to seek revenge.

If you encounter something you can't deal with immediately, even if you planned it for ten days and a half, you have to take revenge.

The people they beat ranged from the young masters of the Prime Minister's Palace to the gangsters and bullies on the streets, almost all over the capital.

Indeed, Qiao Nian's vengeful temper was the result of his pampering.

But she didn't seem to remember any of this.

Now she probably only remembers that he came up with the idea and asked Lin Ye to send her to his brother's bed!

To be honest, I also blame Lin Ye.

He couldn't even buy the intoxicating drug, which almost caused a disaster!

Thinking like this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but glare at Lin Ye, and then turned around and got on the carriage of the General's Mansion.

Lin Ye just felt baffled, but the Marquis's carriage had already gone far, so he could only get on Xiao Heng's carriage.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Heng suddenly opened the car curtain and said to Lin Ye, "I still have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't take Brother Lin with me."

After that, he said to the coachman, "Let's go!"

The coachman responded, waved his whip and drove away.

Lin Ye was left standing at the entrance of the palace, looking at a loss.

After Qiao Nian returned to Fanghe Garden, Ningshuang came up to her and said with great interest, "Miss, Xiaocui has been kicked out of the house. The second lady also knew about it, but she didn't stop her. But I guess the second lady must have He will secretly visit me, Xiao Cui, but don’t worry, I asked Wang Wu to follow him, he is the smartest one in our courtyard..."

At this point, Ningshuang noticed something was wrong with Qiao Nian's face and couldn't help but frown, "Miss, what's wrong with you? What did the imperial concubine say to you?"

Qiao Nian shook his head, did not respond, and went back to the house.

She didn't know what to say, and all she could think about now was what she should do.

The bandits were very clever. Until now, when King Ming was kidnapped, the court had not found out the location of the bandits.

But if they exchange hostages, they will expose themselves and increase the possibility of being caught.

So, she couldn't figure out what the King Ming had said to the bandits that made them take such a risk and choose to exchange hostages, but the only thing that was certain was that the bandits wanted her very much!

Otherwise, how could she, a concubine of the King Ming who had not even married yet, be as valuable as the King Ming?

But why did he want her?

She had nothing to do with the bandits, no hatred or resentment...

A sense of uneasiness spread in Qiao Nian's heart. She didn't know what kind of situation she would fall into after tonight.

Just as she was worried, Ning Shuang reported outside, "Miss, the Marquis and General Xiao are here with a group of people."

Qiao Nian frowned.

She was already upset, what were they doing here?

She opened the door and went out, but saw a pair of guards standing outside.

The guards in the palace.

Her Fanghe Garden was not big to begin with, and now with a group of guards standing here, it seemed full.

Qiao Nian was a little puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

But Lord Lin came forward and smiled, "The emperor knows you will go to rescue King Ming tonight, so he specially sent people to protect you."

Protect her?

Qiao Nian sneered in her heart.

These guards should be here to monitor her.

They are worried that she will escape from the battlefield, so they sent a group of guards to watch her.

As for Lord Lin, it is probably the same.

After all, if she escapes today, the Marquis's Mansion will surely suffer the emperor's wrath and suffer a catastrophe!

But she doesn't understand why Xiao Heng followed.

She looked at Xiao Heng, her eyebrows slightly twisted, "Then, what is General Xiao doing here?"

As soon as the voice fell, she saw Xiao Heng handing her a dagger.

A dagger inlaid with rubies, which she had asked Xiao Heng for several times, but Xiao Heng was reluctant to give her...

She looked at Xiao Heng in confusion, and heard him say, "There is still time, I will teach you some self-defense tricks."
