Chapter 177: The Arrogant Slave
Qiao Niannian sniffed the medicine in the bowl and knew what it was made of. So, she turned her head to the side and asked Yun'er to make another one according to her medicinal herbs.
And now, in the room, there are only two people, her and Gong Zhijin.
"What kind of situation was it at that time, you tell me what it was."
Because before she fell into the water, although Gong Zhijin and Ye Mingxuan were discussing things, in his sight, he would not let Qiao Niannian leave. So as soon as Qiao Niannian fell into the water, he immediately ran to rescue her.
Qiao Niannian pursed her mouth, in fact, she was still angry about Gongzhi Jin's rescue of her. But when I thought of the queen's things, I felt indignant in my heart.
Her face immediately darkened, and her gaze became extremely cold, "That was all premeditated by the queen." It's just that I guessed her plan, so I came up with a countermeasure on the fly. ”
"So you chose to fall overboard? Women are all unfamiliar with water, if I don't come to save you......"
Speaking of which, Gong Zhijin's fair face seemed to be imprinted with an angry look, as if it was a little dark in this not very bright room. And because the words stopped at this point, Qiao Niannian's heart was naturally a little shy, after all, the meaning was already obvious, and Gongzhijin was caring about her.
"So, it's so dangerous to be this princess, I might as well take off this burden and go out and be free alone."
In order to relieve her mood, Qiao Niannian said this, but as soon as she said this, she regretted it a little, because at this moment, Gong Zhijin's face became darker, and the temperature around her was so cold that it made people feel chills down her spine.
But what Gong Zhijin was thinking in his heart was not what Qiao Niannian thought.
In this world, if someone has a hatred for him and wants to kill him, then he won't mind, because with his martial arts, basically no one dares to touch him. However, if someone does something to the person he wants to protect, then, no matter who she is, he will not let it go.
"You take care of the princess."
Gong Zhijin immediately got up, and after dropping a sentence to Yun'er outside the door, he walked briskly towards the gate of Shangtang Palace, and this back, in Yun'er's opinion, was unusually murderous.
"What's the matter, lord?"
Yun'er handed the medicine to Qiao Niannian and asked a little puzzled. But Qiao Niannian just didn't speak, and the amazement in his heart instantly hit his whole body, and in this gradually darkening sky, it seemed a little compatible.
In the Qianren Palace.
"Why is Lord Yan here?"
After the maid told the queen the news of King Yan's arrival, she put on a very gentle and virtuous appearance to welcome King Yan's arrival.
But Gong Zhijin did not react to this sentence, and even the greeting was omitted, but walked directly towards the queen. This action scared the queen so much that she retreated again and again, not daring to make a sound.
"Lord Wang!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the maid behind him approached him and wanted to pull him away, but she didn't dare to step forward, so she could only keep a certain distance from King Yan and look at the queen in embarrassment.
"You...... What are you trying to do? ”
The queen sat down in a chair in fright, bowing her head and not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Yan King.
And Gong Zhijin also stopped, just snorted coldly and turned his face sideways.
"Don't think you're going to be able to hide your tricks from me. I respect you as the mother of a country in the Great Yan Country, so I don't care about you about this incident. If you do such a thing in the future, I will not give up. ”
With that, he turned and walked in the direction he came. And when he passed by the maids, he exuded an extremely shocking sense of majesty from all over his body, which made them kneel on the ground in fright, not daring to make a sound.
And the queen, at this moment, raised her head, her two hands tightly grasped the handle of the chair, and her body trembled, trying to calm herself.
"Gongzhijin!"
This indignant shout resounded throughout the entire Qianren Palace.
And Qiao Niannian also recovered her mood at this time and wanted to get out of bed.
"The prince commanded, madam, you have to rest well!"
Seeing Qiao Niannian lift the quilt, Yun'er immediately stepped forward and wanted to stop her, but when she saw the coldness in her eyes, she stopped her movements again, and she was a little embarrassed.
"Are you my person, or the prince's person?"
Qiao Niannian snorted coldly, and just got out of bed by himself. She still has one more thing to do, and if it's too late, there may be no room for turnaround.
As soon as Qiao Niannian arrived at the venue of the banquet, he attracted everyone's attention. Some of the eyes were puzzled and surprised, some were jealous, and of course, some were dismissive.
But Qiao Niannian didn't have time to take care of the eyes of all of them, so he just strode in the direction of Qiao Minglan.
Now the Qiao family is negotiating something on the Yang family's grounds, but Qiao Minglan is kneeling on the ground, her face full of grievances and reluctance and helplessness.
"Stop!"
Seeing that the Qiao family master was pulling Qiao Minglan up, Qiao Niannian immediately rushed forward, withdrew Qiao Minglan's hand from the Qiao family master's hand, and then protected her behind her.
When Qiao Niannian returned to the banquet just now, the head of the Qiao family didn't see it, but just discussed things with the master of the Yang family. And Qiao Niannian's sudden appearance startled him.
It was not that he didn't notice the changes in Qiao Niannian, at the beginning of this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the head of the Qiao family noticed the difference in Qiao Niannian. But because he hasn't taken care of her since he was a child, he has watched her being bullied indifferently, and occasionally helped Qiao Mingxin's mother bully her, so it is the same now, he is just surprised by all these changes in her, and he has no other emotions.
However, since Qiao Niannian had come to stop him from doing things now, he would definitely not do it with her.
"What are you doing?"
The eyes of the Qiao family master who looked at Qiao Niannian were very angry, and the smile he had just given to the Yang family master dissipated instantly.
"I want to ask you, what are you going to do!"
Qiao Niannian didn't have any big feelings for this look at all, and in the same way, she replied to him with a cold and angry look, without the slightest hint of flinching.
"Okay, sister, I know you're kind, but the situation has been decided, and there must be no room for reversal. Emperor...... The emperor has already agreed. ”
Seeing that Qiao Niannian really interceded for herself, Qiao Minglan was both surprised and moved, but what was the use of this? The current behavior of the Qiao family master is just dealing with the aftermath, and it is impossible to regain his freedom.
Thinking of this, the tears in her eyes kept pouring out, but she was even more sentimental than before. And the head of the Qiao family, after hearing this, also looked at Qiao Niannian with a changed expression, signaling her to stop struggling meaninglessly, the matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter what, it is useless.
"Princess, the last official knows that you love your sister, but the last official promises that as long as the fourth girl enters our Yang family, I Yang Yan will definitely not let the fourth girl suffer a loss one day, how about it?"
The master of the Yang family, that is, Yang Yan, said very embarrassed to Qiao Niannian. This marriage, first, can help his son save some reputation, after all, it is the daughter of the Qiao family, even if it is a concubine, it is also the concubine of the imperial physician family. Second, although he is a clean official, the current situation of the Yang family is not very optimistic, and now this marriage can slow down the Yang family.
Although he said so, Qiao Niannian knew in his heart that this Yang Yan was still a good one. But even if he promised so, it was difficult to guarantee that Qiao Minglan would not be bullied by those in Yang Jiaming's house, and how could he let the four girls of the dignified Qiao family make a five-room concubine for others.
"Since she is the young lady of the Qiao family, she must be the wife of someone else."
Just when Qiao Niannian wanted to talk back, a very magnetic voice appeared behind him. But the voice was very familiar to her, and today her ears were full of his voice.
After returning from the Empress, he went to the Shangtang Palace, but was told that he had gone to the banquet hall again. Therefore, he immediately came here, and as soon as he arrived, he saw Qiao Niannian talking indifferently and angrily to the Qiao family master.
Gong Zhijin glanced at Qiao Minglan on the ground, and then put his eyes on the head of the Qiao family. The majesty of Gongzhi Jin made the head of the Qiao family dare not speak loudly anymore, but he hesitated, what to say.
"This ...... Lord Yan, I'm afraid this is not good. The emperor has already agreed to this family business, if he repents now, wouldn't it be disobeying the holy will? ”
The head of the Qiao family clasped his hands into fists, saluted Gongzhi Jin, and then said in embarrassment. In fact, he was afraid of Gongzhijin in his heart, because even if it was the emperor, he would have to give him a few points.
But after Gong Zhijin heard this, he just sneered, put his hands behind his back, and Ling Ran looked disdainful, "But you begged the emperor to let him agree?" ”
didn't expect Gong Zhijin to say this, the head of the Qiao family paused, and after reacting, he nodded and replied to him: "Yes." ”
"So, does the emperor have a holy decree?"
Gong Zhijin didn't make the slightest movement, his eyes just looked at the Qiao family master, as if he was interrogating, which made the Qiao family master's forehead sweat a little.
"I didn't ...... No. ”
The head is getting lower and lower, after all, the head of the Qiao family is also an elderly person, and this waist is bent a little hard, and it hurts at this time. Coupled with the panic in my heart, the beads of sweat dripped on the ground raw.
"How can that call disobedience to the divine will?"
Gong Zhijin's eyes turned to Yang Yan's body, and Yang Yan was also silent. He knew what Gong Zhijin meant, and he also knew that he had to help Qiao Niannian this time, so he just remained silent and let Gong Zhijin deal with this matter.
"Yes, the prince is right. It was the last official who said the wrong thing. ”
The head of the Qiao family looked at Yang Yan sideways, and when he found that he was like this, he knew that this transaction would definitely not be done, so he could only respond to Gongzhijin.
"Princess, you can make a decision."
Seeing that the result was almost visible, Gong Zhijin handed over this right to Qiao Niannian. After all, he was just a person who helped Qiao Niannian gain power, and he didn't fully understand Qiao Niannian's inner thoughts.
And Qiao Niannian didn't care about anything else at the moment, but just took a step forward and said indifferently to the head of the Qiao family: "From now on, Qiao Minglan has the right to choose her own marriage partner. If you dare to make your own decisions, you will definitely not be spared. ”
"Do you hear that?"
Seeing that the head of the Qiao family did not respond, Gong Zhijin added, and he could hear that Gong Zhijin was a little angry at the moment, so he quickly nodded.
Gongzhi Jin's might, they don't know it. As long as it is what he wants to do, then there is nothing that cannot be done. So in this matter, even if the emperor is here, the result will be the same.
This matter finally came to an end, and Qiao Niannian left the scene that made her feel very bored, and went straight to the edge of the tree on the side. And Gong Zhijin also walked to her side and looked at her.
"Don't you know you've become their talker, and you're still here?"
Hearing this, Qiao Niannian didn't make any expression, but said: "I've long been their talker, are you afraid of one more topic for them to talk about?" ”
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Gongzhijin took the coat from Yun'er's hand and draped it on her body, "You haven't rested enough, and now you're being blown by the cold wind, don't catch a cold." ”
