The next morning.

Qiao Qiao quietly woke up from his sleep and stood up with the intention of leaving the Pear Blossom Academy.

If she stayed in the Pear Blossom House all day, there would be nothing she could do about her little thoughts.

"Miss, where are you going?" The Sleeve Luan jogged all the way to catch up to Qiao Yifan who was pacing forward.

"Let's go out for a walk." Joe continued to laugh lightly.

"Then this servant shall accompany you. It would be too inconvenient for a lady to walk alone in the Demon Palace." Xiu Luan slightly bowed as she replied.

"Alright." Joe nodded.

Along the way, Qiao Qiao continued to walk forward and casually looked around. The Sleeve Luan followed closely behind him. It opened its mouth a few times, but did not make a sound. It seemed as if it wanted to speak, but stopped.

"Young lady …" In the end, Xiu Luan could not hold it in and slowly called out from behind Qiao Qiao.

"What is it?" Qiao once again stopped walking and turned around to look at Xiu Luan. Seeing her hesitating, she could not help but become curious.

"Today, when this servant went to the side courtyard, I accidentally heard someone say that the lady was …" "Yes …" Xiu Luan's voice gradually faded. He raised his head a few times to observe Qiao Qiao's still expression. In the end, he bit his lips and said, "It's the Emperor of Qiao Country."

Qiao Qiao's face remained cold. She had long known that this matter could not be concealed. However, she did not know that He You You You had already ordered a silence. Just who was the one who spread this rumor?

"Who told you that?" Qiao Qiao still frowned and asked, the first face that appeared in his mind was actually the Sprite, could it be that the Sprite still held a grudge towards her, and spread the matter, forcing her to obediently submit, and leave the Palace?

"Miss, I heard from two maids in the side courtyard that this matter had already spread throughout the capital. They said that the son of the Emperor of Qiao adored the face of the Demon Lord and abandoned the mountains and rivers, willingly becoming the heir to the martial arts world, the wife of the Demon Lord." Xiu Luan lowered her head. Although she trusted her young lady in her heart, she definitely would not allow others to slander her behind her back like that.

"Heh." Qiao once again sneered. He didn't expect the news to spread throughout the capital in just a few days. Luckily, she had made Qingwu pretend to be her mask, otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would have occurred in the imperial court.

"Miss, don't be angry. Xiu Luan believes in you." When Xiu Luan saw that Qiao Qiao was still sneering, she thought that Qiao Qiao was still sulking. She then bent over and kowtowed, and spoke with an unprecedented sincerity.

"I'm not angry. I just find it funny." "If I really am the Emperor of Qiao, then this emperor has left the palace without permission and is now in a state of ruin. Could it be that the heavens of Qiao shouldn't change by now?" "How can you listen to all the gossip outside so easily?"

Miss is right, Xiu Luan also does not believe that Miss is the incompetent puppet emperor of the country of Qiao. Rumor has it that she does not learn anything, is lustful and dissolute, does not care about court and government, and only knows that she has been with the imperial concubine all day. Originally, she had not known whether the rumors were true or false, but after hearing what the young lady had said, she became even more convinced that her young lady was so refined and refined, how could she be as perverted and shameless as the Emperor?

When Qiao Qiao heard what Xiu Luan said, his expression changed. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. She was slandering him and flattering him at the same time.

"The next time this servant meets those people with big mouths that don't know the truth, I'll definitely beat them until all their teeth fall out." Xiu Luan stared into the distance with a face full of malice. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists. Now that she had been verified, she wanted to see who would dare slander her young lady behind her back!

"Hur hur." Qiao Qiao was still at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He did not know if the people who were beaten up by the Xiu Luan would hate her after knowing the truth …

"Alright, young lady. Please continue your walk." Xiu Luan chuckled and continued to follow behind Qiao Qiao. But at this moment, she no longer had a conflicted face and frowned. Instead, she followed closely behind Qiao Qiao with a relaxed appearance.

Qiao Qiao continued to helplessly walk forward, but within his heart he was pondering: Who exactly is the person that spread this rumor?

"Sister, are you here?" A delicate voice came from behind Qiao once more, but Qiao Qiao unconsciously furrowed his brows. In this demon palace, the one she feared meeting the most was Li Ruo Ying.

"Hur hur." Qiao Qiao still gave an awkward smile, he suddenly turned around and spoke softly to Li Ruo Ying who was still pregnant, "Madam, where are you talking about? Madam is carrying He Hen's child in her stomach, and is also his personal wife, a person without a name or distinction how could I call Madam Sis. Moreover, I have been an only daughter since I was young and have no siblings, I really can't get used to people calling me Sis.

Li Ruo Ying's expression turned slightly embarrassed, but she still bowed and said respectfully, "Elder sister said that she doesn't like outsiders. Elder sister is the esteemed and sealed Infernal Queen. Once you enter the Infernal Palace, you will be part of the same family as elder sister."

"Madam is too polite." Qiao Qiao rolled his eyes at Li Ruo Ying as he continued to walk forward.

"Hey, sister, I came here today to tell you something." Li Ruo Ying looked around and saw that Qiao Qiao still had only the Sleeve Luan by his side. Her eyes slyly turned and instructed Jadeite to stop the Luan at the side. She then moved closer to Qiao Qiao.

"Madam, your esteemed self has instructed this servant to protect Miss closely." Xiu Luan obviously didn't want to give Li Ruo Ying any face, so she cupped her hands and said to her.

"You …" Li Ruo Ying turned around, she didn't expect a female servant to reject her in public. After all, she was a madame, "You're too insensible, I have something to discuss with my elder sister, how can I let a little girl like you go?"

"Please forgive me, Madam. I am only following your orders." Xiu Luan persisted, wanting to stay by Qiao Qiao's side.

"You! How bold! At any rate, why would you order me around as the master of my Demon Palace? " Recently, Li Ruo Ying had been pampered by the baby in her womb, so she didn't care about her usual delicate and virtuous appearance in the demon's palace. She shouted at Jingyu, "Jingyu, bring that little girl down and teach her a lesson. Let her know how to talk to Master in the future!"

"Yes, ma'am." Jingyu's face was gloomy, her lips curved into a smile, as she pulled Xiu Luan and left.

Xiu Luan had martial arts on her body and was a person that He You You had specially selected to protect Qiao Qiao's safety. How could she be pulled down by a useless girl like that? Her expression turned cold as she pulled out a short knife from her sleeve and rushed towards Jingyu.

Ah!" "You …" Li Ruo Ying screamed out in shock as she saw that within three moves, Xiu Luan had imprisoned Jing Yu beneath her, and her short blade was slanted onto Jing Yu's neck.

"Madam, save this servant." Jingyu laid on the ground, the dagger in her hand, she could only ask Li Ruo Ying for help.

"You... You, you sure have big guts. A female servant actually hid her skills and weapons, you … You... Just what kind of ulterior motive do you have?! " Li Ruo Ying stammered, but didn't know what to say to punish Xiu Luan. She could only turn her head to look at Qiao Qiao who was watching by the side, "Big sister, little sister has good intentions to discuss something with you, but your servant girl has been rude to me several times, and now she is coercing little sister's personal servant girl. This …"

Li Ruo Ying tried to use Qiao Qiao as a sharp sword to teach Xiu Luan a lesson, but she didn't know that Qiao Qiao had always been an unreasonable and protective person. She was afraid that she would find the wrong person for this sword.

She had already warned Li Ruo Ying long ago that if they were to meet again from that day onwards, the two of them would be like strangers. Unfortunately, she was going to provoke her today.

"Oh, didn't you ask Jingyu to teach the Sleeve Luan a lesson?" This is the Devil's Palace, not the officials' backyard. Whoever dares to teach the other one a lesson will depend on their abilities. Moreover... "Xiu Luan is a servant girl that He Mingyou personally gave me. Not only does she have martial arts skills, she was also allowed to carry sharp weapons in the backyard. Could it be that Madam's little girl is a useless little girl who has no strength to tie a chicken?" "It seems that He Mingyou really does trust your wife, even though you're still in your sixties, but you also trust that your wife is unprotected. Tsk tsk, it seems that the next time I meet He Mingyou, I must tell him that it's good to give his wife a maid who knows kung fu."

Li Ruo Ying couldn't help but clench her fists as she heard Qiao Qiao's boastful yet sarcastic words. Her heart was filled with extreme anger, but she forced herself to calm down. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and smiled.

"I've long heard that Your Excellency dotes on your elder sister. Indeed, even the servant girl beside you is so biased. When I am born, I will not be able to snatch away your love."

"Hur hur." Qiao Qiao sneered. Did she really think that the person she loved was a treasure in everyone's eyes? How ridiculous! Furthermore, the fetus in her womb was unknown to others. Could it be that she still did not know how she obtained it?!

"Xiu Luan, let go. You're still a Demon Lord. If people see you bullying such a useless person and people spread the news, wouldn't you be laughing at them?" Qiao Qiao still had a stern expression as she slowly said to Xiu Luan.

"Yes." Xiu Luan nodded, and then let go of Jing Yu's neck.

"Let's go." Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Li Ruo Ying, who was still in a daze. "Before we leave, I have to advise Madam, that you also have a baby, and He You You You also said not to walk around often, and never see me again. If you were to use this womb's energy due to anger, grief, and grief, then I won't blame you, but I won't blame you, so I won't blame you, and I will not give you this heart of yours for nothing."

Finished speaking, Qiao Qiao still proudly turned around and slowly walked away.

Li Ruo Ying glared at Qiao Qiao's leaving figure. She clenched her fists tightly once again and bit her lower lip. She wished that she could still tear Qiao Qiao into pieces in her heart.

"Madam, your servant …" Jingyu stood up and stood behind Li Ruo Ying, her tone full of grievance.

"Shut up! If your skills are inferior to others, why would you complain! " Li Ruo Ying yelled coldly. She was so shocked that Jingyu trembled and stopped her consoling gaze.

"Let's go!" Li Ruo Ying shouted coldly, then angrily turned around and left. Jing Yu timidly followed behind.
