The three of them had already stepped into the Pear Blossom Academy. Qingwu and Xiu Luan were still whispering to each other as if they were talking about the most enjoyable part. Xiu Luan immediately cried out in admiration as she looked at Qiao Qiao's back, her tone full of respect.
"I never thought that the girl would dare to do such a thing! It really is both wise and brave. "
"Isn't that so? This is just the matter between Vice Minister Han and Grand Commandant Xi. There's also the story of Prime Minister Luo, Imperial Concubine Luo, and Minister Shen, as well as the story of how so many of our ladies fought against this group of officials." Qingwu raised her eyebrows with a face full of pride. To be able to follow such a master, she naturally had a supreme glory.
"Sister Qingwu, if you have the chance, you must tell me what happened next." Xiu Luan was filled with anticipation.
"Naturally." Qingwu smiled. The heroic deeds of her daughter probably wouldn't last three days or three nights, but when she talked about these things, she purposely avoided all matters related to the Yan Mo Chen. She knew that her daughter definitely didn't want to think about this name anymore.
Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows helplessly. She didn't think that Xiu Luan would be a good gossiper, but today, she had been gone for a day and was framed by the lake. In the end, she still had to waste time talking with that woman who deserved it.
"All of you can go back and rest. If you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow." Qiao Qiao waved towards Qingwu and Xiu Luan in front of him, and leaned on the bed tiredly.
"Yes, young lady. Your servant will take his leave." Qingwu and Xiu Luan slowly bowed, then turned around and retreated.
Qiao Qiao's eyes were still slightly closed as a wave of sleepiness slowly assaulted him.
"Rustle ~" The sound of a silhouette flashed past, but Joe, who was sleepy on the bed, regained his vigor in an instant. He turned over and stood upright in front of the bed as he said slowly: "Chimei, come out!"
The figure trembled slightly and walked out of the dark corner with a shaking spirit. His face was filled with helplessness.
"How did you guess that it was me …" Chimei threw up her hands.
"With your skills and moves, even if I closed my eyes, I would still be able to guess." "It's so late. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for you to come to my Pear Blossom House."
"What's not right? "Anyway, your highness won't come …" Chimei dragged her long voice, her face filled with pride.
"Oh? These words of yours are like a secret romance between us in the middle of the night while He You You are not here. " Joe still frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"If you want to do this, I can let you down." Chimei shamelessly raised his head and smiled.
"Ha!" Qiao once again sneered. He couldn't help clicking his tongue. "You aren't afraid of He Ming You overhearing your words."
"Of course I'm scared." "I've come to find you today because I want to ask you if Li Ruo Ying was once a member of the Imperial Palace."
"Why should I answer you?" Qiao Qiao still frowned indifferently.
"Because you used me. On the first day in the Demon Palace, you used me to search for Li Ruo Ying." Although there was no anger on her face, there was still a hint of anger hidden within her words. After all, he had never been used by a woman in his life before!
Since you want to know, then I might as well tell you this. That Li Ruo Ying isn't a person from the imperial palace from the past, she's just someone I met on the street. I didn't expect that she would enter the Demon Palace, and I only wanted to find her after entering the Palace. Qiao Qiao was still half fake and half real, and he forcefully left out what Li Ruo Ying had done for them when Yan Mo Chen attacked the Devil Palace.
"Is it really that simple?" Chimei's eyebrows were filled with suspicion.
"Naturally, or else how complicated do you think it would be?" Joe asked, still raising his eyebrows.
"I hope you won't lie to me …" Chimei's brows darkened, and her lips slowly curled into a smile.
I won't lie to you? What a joke! She, Qiao Qiao, would naturally speak nonsense if she heard others speak. To hell with it, she would speak whatever she saw of the people from the Demon Palace!
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but snicker when he saw the skeptical look on Qi Mei's face:
"Why are you in such a hurry to ask me today? Are you afraid that I will sell you like this one day?"
"Although you are wise and intelligent, your methods are clever. Although you are intelligent, you will definitely take revenge. Naturally, there will not be a good ending if I offend you. However, I believe that you and I will not reach a stalemate." Chimei secretly raised his eyebrows. He did not know whether he was right or wrong when he went to the Imperial Palace to get to know this notorious figure, the Emperor of Qiao who had great foresight and foresight.
"Haha, you're too kind." Joe answered with a smile.
"Actually, I've always felt that the reason you came to the Demon Palace was definitely not that simple." Chimei asked with a slightly probing tone.
"I'm afraid you've already said this twice." Qiao Qiao was still unconcerned as he glanced at her. There was no anger in his tone.
"But this time, I'm the most serious." Chimei looked at Joe with a profound look in her eyes.
"Oh? If you don't believe me this much, then why don't you go and expose me in front of He Mingyou? " Joe, still smiling, picked up the cup of tea from the table and sipped it.
"Your Majesty's mind was momentarily clouded by emotions. Naturally, I chose to believe you, but I …" Chimei paused for a moment, then continued, "Although we have known each other for a long time, if you dare to do something that endangers the Demon Palace, I will still not cover for you."
"Haha, then you've come here today to threaten me?" Qiao Qiao was still frowning. Although he was laughing, there was no hint of a smile on his face.
"I don't dare." Chimei bowed.
"I have." Qiao Qiao said indifferently. She slowly put down the teacup in her hand and placed it on the table. Then, she turned around and walked to the bedside.
"I hope you won't." Chimei stood behind Qiao once more as she spoke to Qiao Qiao in a low voice. Chimei, who was usually playful and disrespectful, was rarely seen to have such a serious side to her.
Naturally, she did not wish for the day of confrontation to come. After all, if it was not for the fact that there was a difference in status, it was not bad that she and devils had a relationship, so she was willing to recognize this friend of hers. Thus, she had to think of a way to send devilish beauty to the Devil Palace in order to make things convenient for her in the future.
"I... "I'm leaving." When she saw that his back was still facing her for a long time, she did not say anything. His voice was slow, and she did not wait for Joe's answer before jumping out.
There was still a hint of a smile on Qiao Qiao's lips. Ever since Chimei had left, she had been lying on the bed. However, this time, even though she was extremely tired, she did not feel the slightest bit sleepy.
Just like this, the thoughts in her mind raced, and she didn't slowly fall asleep until daybreak …

The next morning, the sun shone brightly. Although the entire Pear Blossom Academy was covered by the sun, it was exceptionally quiet.
"Shh, be quiet. Your Excellency came earlier today. Seeing that the Infernal Queen is still asleep, Your Highness ordered that no one is to wake the Infernal Queen up today."
"What?" The Infernal Queen is still sleeping. "
"That's right. It's already late in the morning, but the Infernal Queen still has no signs of waking up."
"It looks like the Infernal Queen used so many witnesses to testify for me yesterday. I'm indeed exhausted, but that Madame Li died in an extremely miserable manner."
"That's right, I heard that Madam Li and the little girl beside her were thrown into the snake hole. Today, someone went to check on them and only saw two skeletons, not a single trace of blood. Tsk tsk, those poisonous snakes you raised are all monsters that kill people without vomiting blood."
"Is it really that scary?"
"Shh, stop arguing. If the Infernal Queen wakes up later, you and I will also enter the snake cave."
The two girls were whispering to each other in the courtyard. After a while, they went off to do their own business.
Qiao Qiao was still sleeping soundly. As the dazzling sunlight fell upon her, she couldn't help but frown and stretch her body before walking out of the room.
"Qingwu?" Still looking out the door, Joe saw that it was empty. She couldn't help but call out, "Xiu Luan?"
Today, the Pear Blossom Valley was abnormally quiet.
"It's the young lady! The young lady has woken up!" In the side courtyard of the Pear Blossom House, Xiu Luan cried out in alarm. The entire Pear Blossom Academy shook three times internally before all the girls inside and out rushed out from their respective rooms.
"Greetings, Infernal Queen."
"Greetings, Infernal Queen."
"Greetings, Infernal Queen."
Wave after wave of girls hurried past Qiao Qiao, causing her to be filled with doubt. Why was the Pear Blossom Academy a little abnormal today?
"What time is it now?" Qiao Qiao asked as he grabbed the last wave of girls walking past her.
"Replying to the Infernal Queen, it's now noon."
"Noon?" Qiao Qiao was still filled with surprise. Normally, the Demon Palace would be very busy with the crowing of chickens, but why did it start to get busy only after noon today? She could not help but ask doubtfully, "Then why did you only just start working?"
"In reply to the Infernal Queen, Your Majesty has instructed that if the Infernal Queen does not wake up, no one is allowed to disturb the Infernal Queen, so the servants …" The girl's voice gradually became softer. In the end, she lowered her head with all her might, not daring to make a sound.
So it was like this. Qiao Qiao couldn't help but nod and wave her hand, "Alright, you all can leave first."
"Yes." The girls bowed slightly before heading out.
Qiao Qiao still frowned slightly. He did not know that this was early in the morning … Oh ~ It couldn't be said that it was already early in the morning. Where had Qingwu and Xiu Luan gone to that morning?
"Miss!" Xiu Luan bowed slightly towards Qiao Qiao from the entrance of the inner court.
"Where did you go?" Joe could not help but raise his eyebrows.
"This servant has been in the kitchen ever since I woke up today. I just returned to the side courtyard. I didn't expect that Miss would wake up so soon." Xiu Luan stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Always in the kitchen?"
"Yes, Your Highness instructed me to wake up and I wanted to drink the hot egg-flower porridge. Thus, this servant went to the kitchen to cook the porridge early in the morning. I didn't know when Your Highness would wake up, so I continued warming up on the stove." Xiu Luan replied truthfully.
Qiao Qiao's eyes dimmed. It seemed that He Mingyou had come to her Pear Blossom Academy today to do quite a few things. Was it in exchange for her forgiveness? Humph! Qiao Qiao still snorted coldly and turned around, heading back into the house.
"Miss, miss, what happened to you?" When Xiu Luan saw that Qiao Qiao was still in an unhappy mood, she chased after him and asked.
