Princess In Prosperous Age

Red Dust stood at the door, his loud voice blocking Qiao Liangjin's path. His voice was still cold, just like the winter, "I woke up from my sleep, went to eat, and then we departed. I have already investigated, the Seventh Marquis' corpse will arrive at the Willow Leaf Valley tomorrow."

Qiao Liangjin's face was drained of all color. She stood blankly on the spot with some fear in her heart. Tomorrow, would she be able to see a corpse that had been cleaned up?

Zi Yan brought the bowl over. Qiao Liangjin took the bowl and started to eat. To her, time was her life and she needed to replenish her strength.

Hong Chen looked coldly at Qiao Liangjin. After these two days of interaction, he could not help but start to have a whole new level of respect for this woman in front of him. Although she was the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, she did not have the airs of a young lady. As long as she felt that it was the right thing to do, she would try her best to do it.

After quickly wiping away the food in the bowl, Qiao Liangjin handed the bowl over to Zi Yan. He wiped the corner of his mouth and raised his head as he asked, "Can we leave now? When can we reach the Willow Valley? "

"Let's go. Tomorrow night, we will arrive at Willow Valley." Red Dust's words were extremely simple.

Without a word, Qiao Liangjin mounted his horse and followed the red dust in the direction of the Southern Kingdom.

As the group headed towards the Southern Kingdom, they felt the weather gradually get hotter. When they arrived at the Willow Valley, they saw a green grassland.

Ah Kuan and Ah Bai looked around for dry branches and started a fire. Qiao Liangjin and Zi Yan sat next to the bonfire. It seemed that the Red Dust didn't want to get close to Qiao Liangjin, and so they sat under the banyan tree not far away.

Qiao Liangjin gently hooked the burning campfire with a branch. He tilted his head to look at the red dust cloud and softly asked, "Do you think that person is strange?"

Yu Sheng, who had transformed into his human form, followed Qiao Liangjin's gaze. Shaking his head, he said, "He has demonic Qi on him, but it's not that strong. Although I have 800 years of cultivation experience, I still can't see through him."

A question slowly rose in Qiao Lianjin's mind. Why did Bai Wu and Hong Chen appear out of nowhere? Why was Bai Wu's martial arts so profound that his body was so weak? Although Hong Chen seemed to be friends with Bai Mo on the surface, why did she always follow his lead?

Red Dust seemed to have noticed her thoughts. He lifted his pitch-black eyes, glanced at Qiao Liangjin, and coldly said, "If you have the time, why don't you meditate and circulate the zhenqi within your body. What a waste." Having such a good inner force skill and actually getting sick, what a joke.

Qiao Liangjin was choked to the point that he couldn't retort. He could only mutter under his breath, "I'm a human …"

At dawn, Qiao Liangjin stood up and went to the stream not far away to wash his face and rinse his mouth. The ice-cold water of the stream stimulated her blood vessels, causing her to wake up even more.

She patted her own face and nervously looked at the path that the Southern Kingdom had taken. Today, she was going to see the corpse of the legendary Cleanser.

She flew up onto the banyan tree that supported her in the red dust and looked into the distance, anxiously waiting.

It wasn't until after lunch that Qiao Liangjin saw the carriage and two groups of soldiers walking towards them.

Her heart beat faster and faster. Jumping down from the banyan tree, she desperately tried to stabilize the excitement in her heart.

The group of people blocked the front of the group.

The carriage stopped and two groups of soldiers brought out their swords. One of them, a man who looked like an officer, walked forward and coldly said, "Do you know what this team is for?"

Qiao Liangjin pointed at the coffin and asked, "Is that a purge?"

The military officer flew into a rage. He drew out his sword, pointed it at Qiao Liangjin and asked: "How dare you call the Seventh Prince by his name!"

Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He walked over and wanted to open the coffin to see what was inside, but the officer's sword was pointed straight at his throat.

Lu Li was a little anxious. He took out the medallion of the Seventh Marquis and said to the officer, "Impudent. This is the Seventh Princess' wife."

The military officer took a careful look at the token and immediately sheathed his sword. He waved his hand to have the soldiers behind him put away their swords and sabers and knelt down on one knee. "Princess, this is indeed the body of the Seventh Prince."

Qiao Liangjin acted as if she did not hear the officer's words. She walked straight to the side of the carriage and gently touched the smooth, lacquer surface of the coffin. With a sudden burst of strength, he pushed open the lid of the coffin.

She did her best to suppress the heart that was about to jump out of her chest as she looked into the coffin.

Inside the coffin, there was a man with an absolutely gorgeous appearance. However, his right cheek was slightly swollen. He didn't know why, but this man, who was originally dressed in luxurious clothes and was devilishly clean, was quietly lying inside the coffin.

In the past few days, she had been using the matter of clearing her life to forcefully hang on, rushing all the way, exhausting all her energy and mental energy to the point of collapse. Being able to come to this Willow Valley was only the support of her faith, and now, after seeing the person in the coffin, Qiao Liangjin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone who was standing half-knelt down once again. "Princess, we pay our respects to you."

Qiao Liangjin's hands tightly gripped the edge of the coffin, his fingers leaving a deep mark on the coffin. That mouthful of blood sprayed onto Su Ming's face, causing him to look slightly sinister.

Qiao Liangjin used his trembling hands to pull out a handkerchief and beckoned for Purple Smoke. He passed the handkerchief to Purple Smoke and said word by word, "The prince's face is dirty, I want to wipe it off for him."

Zi Yan's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded and accepted the handkerchief, wetting it before handing it to Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Liangjin earnestly wiped away the blood on his face.

Wiping away the dust, her dull eyes gradually lit up. She suddenly stopped and got off the carriage. Closing the lid of the coffin, she waved her hand. "Let's go, let's go."

Everyone looked at Qiao Liangjin in shock.

Qiao Liangjin sighed and left the carriage. He gestured for everyone to make way for him and said, "I am going to the Southern Kingdom to avenge the Seventh Prince. I will have to trouble this general to send the Seventh Prince back to King's City."

The military officer exclaimed. He realized Qiao Liangjin wasn't joking and thought that she was overly sad. He then tried to persuade her. Unexpectedly, Qiao Liangjin was leaning on her shoulder and his shoulders started to tremble.

The military officer thought Qiao Liangjin was overly upset. All he could do was sigh and say, "My condolences." He then led the group towards the Royal City.

Qiao Liangjin didn't raise his head for a long time. Leaning on Zi Yan's shoulder, he asked in a low voice, "Did you go far?"

Zi Yan patted Qiao Liangjin's back and looked at the group that was walking further and further away. She said, "I've walked far, Miss …"

At this moment, Qiao Liangjin raised his head and didn't look sad at all. He sighed and said: "I almost laughed just now."

Zi Yan looked at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment. Just now, she … Aren't you crying? Why did he laugh?

Qiao Liangjin wiped the corner of his mouth and hatefully said: "I really thought it was cleared and spat out a mouthful of blood."

Everyone was startled, they didn't understand the meaning behind Qiao Liangjin's words.

Qiao Liangjin smiled, blinked his eyes and said, "If we were to say the answer now, then it would be meaningless. We are going to the Southern Kingdom now."

Bai acted as if he didn't know what was going on and asked dumbly, "Miss, are we going to take revenge for the Prince?"

Qiao Liangjin got on his horse and pulled on the reins. He smiled at Bai and said, "Yes, we are going to take revenge. But we are not going to avenge our prince. We are going to avenge my blood."

The group of people didn't understand what happened, but after seeing the body inside the coffin, Qiao Liangjin's face started to turn red.

"Looks like that person is still alive."

At this moment, Qiao Liangjin's heart was inexplicably excited. The heaviness that was suppressed in her chest also disappeared. She agilely mounted the horse and pointed her slender arms towards the southern region: "Let's go!"

Along the way, Qiao Liangjin's mind was filled with thoughts of whether he should give Su Hao a good beating the moment he cleared his mind or perform a death performance to make him feel the same sadness as himself.

On their way south, Qiao Liangjin slowly took off his outer robe. When they were almost at the border of the Southern Kingdom, Tong City, Qiao Liangjin was already wearing a simple shirt.

By this time they had driven their horses through a forest of blossoming peach blossoms. Everywhere the pedestrians passed, they would come into contact with pieces of peach blossoms.

Qiao Liangjin extended his palm and received the peach blossom. Not without some regret, he said, "If there was an expert who made the peach blossom wine, how delicious would it be? When he came here, he discovered that he was about to become an alcoholic."

With that said, he blew away the flower petals in his hand and urged his horse to the entrance of Tong City.

At this moment, the security of Tong City was extremely tight. If one wanted to enter, they would have to line up for a very long time. Qiao Liangjin was leading his horse as he slowly walked through the crowd.

Looking from afar, there were about a hundred people ahead, Hong Chen looked a little impatient. She poked her horse's neck and said impatiently, "That guy called Lu Li, is it possible for you to get in line with the Seventh Marquis Mansion?"

Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes. This person was born with no patience. He didn't know how Bai Wuyi was able to handle it. Lu Li looked at her with a pleading look, as if he was waiting for her to give the order.

Qiao Liangjin raised his head and used his palm to block the sunlight. He looked at the sun, then looked at the fatigued team and sighed: "That's fine, you don't have to be a bastard to get out."

Lu Li got the order and hurried to the gate. Soon, a team of about 10 people followed Lu Li to the gate. They walked up to Qiao Liangjin and greeted him with clasped hands. They shouted in unison, "Greetings, Princess."

The men who were marching and fighting had a deep voice, so their greetings disturbed the people lining up. Where were the common folk? They had never seen a noble or high official before, and when they heard someone call out 'consort', they immediately kneeled on the ground without raising their heads.

Qiao Liangjin glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and lightly coughed twice. He then shyly waved his hand and said: "Hurry and get up."

The military officer straightened his body and sized up Qiao Liangjin, who was completely worn out by the storm. He then made a gesture of invitation and invited Qiao Liangjin into Tong City.

Qiao Liangjin waved his hand at the commoners who had been kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads, indicating for them to hurry up. Red Dust walked behind Qiao Liangjin and said in an extremely low voice, "Once you enter Tong City, they'll get up."

Qiao Liangjin's hand paused as he glared fiercely at Hong Chen. Why was this man so venomous? On the other hand, Hong Chen smiled calmly at Qiao Liangjin.
