C168

Qiao Qiao still couldn't remember how long she lived in the palace. In short, it wasn't until her injuries recovered.

For the past few days, Yan Mo Chen had been staying at the Heartrest Palace, and even his office's official reading notice had been moved to the Heartrest Palace, afraid that when the two met, they would mock and argue, affecting her ability to meditate.

The second day after she woke up, Yan Mo Chen gave the order for Die'er from the Cold Palace to be brought over, and took care of Qiao Qiao who was still living in the palace.

Since Yan Mo Chen had ordered her to be confined from walking outside while she was recuperating, and no one was allowed to go even half a step into the palace, if Qiao still wanted to know what had happened in the courtyard, it was from Die'er.

For example, after Qiao was still asleep, Yan Mo Chen ordered for Yan Mu to be released from the Sky Prison. He only ordered Yan Mu to not be allowed to get any closer to Qiao.

As expected, he did not interfere with his lynching in the Sky Prison. While Qiao Qiao was still recovering, he was still happy in his position, thinking that Qiao was still afraid of him and did not dare to reveal his shameful deeds. He continued to act arrogantly and arrogantly in his capacity as a thousand member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

What Joe did not know, however, was that she was still dressed as a criminal and had been moved to the Palace. The previous dynasty was already in chaos, and the ministers had joined forces to demand that the emperor punish this evil woman who had assassinated her concubine.

Because of this, Yan Mo Chen repeatedly flew into a rage in the imperial court. Even if Qiao still killed Jiang Lanxin personally, it would still be his family's matter.

As a result, Yan Mo Chen's mind had become even more agitated and depressed these few days. There was no trace of a smile on his usually stern face, making the guards around him tremble in fear and speak with caution.

However, there was no one left to talk about these vexed thoughts.

At this moment, he was sitting alone in the Heartrest Palace when Qiao Qiao's words suddenly appeared in his mind: Right now, I'm afraid that Yan Mu is the only one who treats you sincerely. If you were to throw him away, you probably …

Did she mean that he had personally lost her?

But, if it wasn't at the entrance of the Magic Palace, she would have hurt him so much, how could he …

Yan Mo Chen's eyes could not help but darken. He did not know what had happened to him in the past few days, but he would always think of the times when he and Qiao Qiao were still together.

When he was still at Death's End …

When she was still the Emperor of Qiao …

Her intelligence, her kindness, her bravery and decisiveness, her daring to love, her daring to hate …

How could she be like that at the entrance to the Devil's Palace?

How could this be …

No matter how he thought about it, he just could not understand how the only woman he loved could be that kind of appearance. Could there be a misunderstanding?

With this thought in mind, his body that had been meditating slowly rose to his feet. Unknowingly, his feet started moving in the direction of the palace.

"Die'er!" Has the Purple Smoke Flower sprouted in the Cold Palace? " Qiao Qiao was still elated. Her injuries had already mostly healed. She was about to be able to thoroughly investigate the truth behind the poison in Jiang Lan's heart. Naturally, she was extremely excited.

"Yup, yup. Miss, you've been gone for so long. Dia is watering them and taking care of them every day!"

Die'er looked at her young miss' happy appearance, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, but her heart still felt sad. She already knew that her young miss was being whipped in the Heavenly Prison, and almost had her face disfigured. She had thought that her young miss would be depressed, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, her young miss was once again that lively young lady.

"En, that's good. Then I am relieved." Qiao Qiao was still smiling lightly. She didn't expect her master to drag Die'er away from the Imperial Palace because of Qing Ao. The thing she was most concerned about was the Purple Smoke Flowers that filled the inner court of the Cold Palace.

Heh heh, there really isn't even a sliver of position …

After feeling a little despondent in his heart, Qiao Qiao once again raised his head slightly. He could not help but chuckle at Die'er, and his tone of voice once again changed to his usual jovial tone.

Yan Mo Chen had been standing at the entrance of the Palace for a long time. He looked at the smiling, innocent, and mischievous woman in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up slowly.

More and more, he seemed to find his mind rising to the surface with her injury.

Yan Mo Chen could not help but become absent-minded for a moment, but he could not help but laugh.

He is becoming more and more unlike me …

"Huang …" "Your majesty!" Die'er's slightly trembling voice came out from the entrance of the Dry and Clear Palace, her legs couldn't help trembling, and she knelt down, "Your servant …" "We pay our respects to the Emperor."

Yan Mo Chen's expression changed and he hid his smile as he looked nervous. He did not expect that he did not notice that the two people had already finished their conversation and were walking to his side.

"Stand up." Yan Mo Chen waved his hand, and seeing that he had been exposed, he strode into the palace.

Die'er looked at Yan Mo Chen's back as he left with a suspicious expression. Her lips couldn't help but twitch. Did she see the emperor's smile just now? And today, the Emperor actually asked her to rise? Normally, the emperor wouldn't even bother to pay attention to the visiting voices of young palace maids. Why was it that the more the emperor looked at it today, the more he felt that something wasn't quite right?

Die'er could not help but shake her head doubtfully as she mumbled to herself before heading to the kitchen. At this hour, she was going to bring the young miss lunch.

Within the palace.

Qiao Qiao was still seated at the tea table beside him. He held a teacup in his hand and sipped on it gently. He watched Yan Mo Chen enter the hall slowly, but did not even lift his eyes as he continued moving his hands.

Yan Mo Chen did not blame him for that. Instead, he walked alone to the tea table and sat down beside Qiao Qiao with a face full of familiarity.

"Are you feeling better?" Yan Mo Chen asked with an emotionless tone.

Actually, as for Qiao Qiao's injuries, he had asked the imperial physician to report to the Hall of Tranquil Heart every day. He already knew that she was almost well, but the atmosphere in the hall was so awkward, he had to find something to say.

"Thanks to your majesty, I'm almost done." Qiao Qiao answered gloomily.

"When are you going to start?" Yan Mo Chen frowned and asked. He knew that Qiao Qiao was a girl who would take revenge for every grievance. How could she let it go when she was framed and tortured by someone?

Qiao Qiao's eyes still flashed. She raised her eyebrows and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She really did not expect Yan Mo Chen to believe in his heart that she was not the real culprit who killed Jiang Lanxin.

"You really want me to check it out myself?"

Even though she had heard Yan Mo Chen's words while she was still unconscious, she had not expected that he would really do so.

Yan Mo Chen did not reply, but nodded his head slightly.

"Tomorrow." Joe continued to smile slowly, and of course she hoped the sooner the better.

"Alright, tomorrow I will give the order. The entire harem will cooperate with your investigation. Anyone who stands in your way will be executed without exception." Yan Mo Chen said indifferently, but he did not seem to be joking.

Qiao Qiao was even more shocked. How did she discover that there was something different about Yan Mo Chen?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll find out that it was your concubine in the harem who did it?" According to Qiao Qiao's knowledge, Yan Mo Chen doted on Fang Rou very much. If the master behind Qing Ao was really Fang Rou, then he …

Yan Mo Chen's cold gaze swept across them, as if he could guess the meaning behind Qiao Qiao's words. He could not help but turn red with anger, and just as he was about to leave the room …

"Wait a minute!" Joe called out, still staring after Yan Mo Chen.

Yan Mo Chen's footsteps stopped, but he did not turn his head.

"Although the Demon Palace is broken, the Demon Lord is not dead yet. Based on the date, he should be back soon." Joe still wanted to say something but hesitated, but he still opened his mouth and reminded her with good intentions.

Yan Mo Chen's body stiffened. He never expected Qiao Qiao to still talk about the Demon Lord. He didn't reply and walked out of the palace.

At this time, Die'er happened to be carrying two people's meals into the palace. Before she even had the chance to kneel down and kowtow, she saw that the emperor, who had just been in the spring, was now leaving like a wild beast. She raised her eyebrows in suspicion and followed the emperor's departing back, muttering to herself,

"Isn't the emperor dining here?"

Although those words did not reach Yan Mo Chen's ears, they were still heard by Qiao Qiao behind him. She could not help but get up and laugh. She patted Die'er's shoulder and said with a 'tsk',

"I'm afraid he won't be able to eat even if he sees me …"

Die'er looked at the smile on her young lady's lips and frowned. What did her young lady mean?

"Alright, let's eat." Qiao Qiao's face was still filled with joy. He turned his head to look at Die'er and the two of them walked towards the table.

"Die'er, I need your cooperation in the next few days." Joe continued to talk to Die'er while he ate.

She had already planned everything out in her free time for a few days. From tomorrow onwards, she could begin to set up the plan and let those people see her counterattack after having been free for so long.

"Yes, this servant will follow the Miss's arrangements." Die'er slowly bowed and respectfully said to Qiao Qiao as before.

After all, the matter of killing Jiang Lanxin was definitely not done by her young miss. She had always firmly believed in this, and the pain her young miss had suffered in the Sky Prison was not for nothing. She had to make them pay!
