On the other side, the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as Qiao Nian got off the carriage, Madam Lin hurriedly came up to her, "Nian Nian!"
Madam Lin held Qiao Nian's arms tightly and kept looking at Qiao Nian up and down, "Let me see, are you hurt anywhere?"
Qiao Nian's clothes were not dry yet. She stumbled a few times in the forest. There was a lot of dirt on her trouser legs, and she looked very embarrassed.
But Qiao Nian deliberately did not change her clothes in order to enter the palace. The more embarrassed and pitiful she was, the more sympathetic the emperor would be.
Even if it was only a little bit, it could bring her a glimmer of hope to survive.
She was not prepared for Madam Lin.
So, watching Madam Lin's tears suddenly fall, Qiao Nian just pushed Madam Lin's hand away slightly forcefully, and then said, "I'm fine."
After that, she walked towards the mansion.
She deliberately did not look at Lin Yuan and Lin Ye beside her.
After all, she was exhausted after tossing all night, and she really had no energy to deal with them.
What's more, she was in a hurry to go back and change her clothes, and then go to visit the old lady!
The funeral bell in the palace will ring soon. The news of King Ming's death cannot be hidden from the old lady. She has to stay with the old lady and comfort her emotions, so that she won't get anxious and fall ill again.
But, perhaps it was Qiao Nian's "arrogant" look that made Lin Ye and Lin Yuan on the side a little unhappy.
Lin Yuan took the lead and said, "Sister, mother waited for you all night and worried about you all night. How can you be so indifferent?"
Qiao Nian ignored her and continued to walk forward.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye rushed up and blocked Qiao Nian's way, "Yuan'er talked to you, didn't you hear it?"
Qiao Nian had no choice but to stop, and looked at Lin Ye with a pair of eyes stained with boredom, "I heard it, and then what?"
Then?
Lin Ye didn't expect Qiao Nian to ask this, and immediately frowned, "You pushed Yuan'er into the water last night, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. What's your attitude now? Do you think I will pity you if King Ming dies?"
"That won't happen." Qiao Nian laughed coldly, "King Ming is dead, and the young marquis is too happy to have time to pity me?"
Hearing this, Lin Ye's breathing stagnated, "You, what did you say?"
"The young marquis tricked King Ming to leave Beijing, and then the mountain bandits in Yongbei captured King Ming. Guess what will happen if the emperor knows about this?"
As soon as Qiao Nian finished speaking, Lin Ye's face turned pale.
Mrs. Lin hurried forward when she heard this, "Niannian, you can't say that!"
Lin Ye's breathing was even a little disordered, and his voice was extremely panicked, "Yes! You, don't talk nonsense! I don't know those bandits at all!"
"Oh? Does the emperor think so?" Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lin Ye with provocation in her eyes.
Lin Yuan on the side also hurried over, "Sister, you can't wrongly accuse my brother like this. My brother is dedicated to serving the country. How could he collude with bandits and murder the prince? If your words are spread, the Marquis' Mansion will be implicated by you and the whole family will be executed!"
Lin Yuan wanted to remind Qiao Nian of the seriousness of this matter.
After all, Qiao Nian is now a member of the Marquis' Mansion. If the whole family is executed, Qiao Nian will definitely be involved.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian finally turned to look at her, with a cold look in her eyes, "What? Do I need you to remind me?"
Her eyes, and the mockery at the corner of her mouth, clearly scolded Lin Yuan for being as stupid as a pig.
Lin Yuan opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.
Qiao Nian then looked at Lin Ye again, "The young marquis certainly doesn't have the courage to murder the prince, he can only harm me at most!"
Qiao Nian's words were heartbreaking.
But at this moment, Lin Ye was so excited by her that he couldn't say a word.
I only heard Qiao Nian continue, "But I hope the young marquis understands that rabbits will bite when they are anxious. If you dare to provoke me again, I don't mind being dragged to the Meridian Gate with you and beheaded!"
The whole family will be executed!
She alone, in exchange for the whole family of the Lin family, isn't it a profit?
Lin Ye was completely speechless at this moment, and even felt a little weak in the knees because of Qiao Nian's words.
Although it was Xiao Heng who came up with the idea of tricking the King Ming to go to Yaowang Valley, he was the one who implemented it!
He was not like Xiao Heng, who had made great military achievements and won the emperor's favor.
If the emperor knew about this, he would be the first to be punished, and the Marquis' Mansion would also suffer a tragic disaster!
Seeing that Lin Ye was so scared that his face turned pale, Lin Yuan couldn't bear it and hurriedly said, "Sister, everyone cares about you, and my brother didn't sleep all night, how could you..."
"Didn't you stay in the water enough last night?" Qiao Nian interrupted Lin Yuan's words, turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, and saw two lines of tears falling from her eyes, Qiao Nian felt very annoyed.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have reminded Mrs. Lin to fish her out last night!
After glaring at the brother and sister, Qiao Nian raised his hand and pushed Lin Ye away, "Get out of the way!"
After that, he went to his own Fanghe Garden.
In Fanghe Garden, Ningshuang had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Qiao Nian coming back, she immediately went forward to greet Qiao Nian into the house.
Hot water had already been prepared in the house.
Qiao Nian lay in the bathtub, and the hot water wrapped her whole body, which made her body, which had been frozen stiff, warm up a little.
Looking at Qiao Nian's tired look, Ning Shuang was worried, "Miss, the King Ming is dead, then, what will you do?"
"The boat will naturally straighten itself when the bridge comes." Qiao Nian replied indifferently.
She didn't know what to do, so she took it one step at a time!
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ningshuang went out and came back soon.
Holding a box of cakes in her hand.
It was the one that Lin Yuan loved to eat the most.
Qiao Nian took a look at the cakes and frowned, "Who sent it?"
"It was said that Deputy General Jing." Ningshuang answered truthfully, but she didn't understand why Jing Yan sent cakes for no reason.
Qiao Nian was too lazy to think at this moment, so she just waved her hand, "Take it and eat it!"
Ningshuang answered yes, pouted, and put the cakes aside.
Qiao Nian got up after soaking in the bathtub for a while, she still had to rush to see the old lady!
However, before she walked out of the gate of Fanghe Garden, she saw the housekeeper of the mansion hurriedly trotting towards her, "Miss, Miss, please stay!"
The housekeeper was usually calm and had never been so flustered. He immediately asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
The servant hurriedly presented a note with both hands, "Just now a woman came outside the mansion. Judging from her clothes, she should be from the palace. This is the note she left."
A woman from the palace?
Qiao Nian took the note and opened it. There were only two words on it: ghost marriage.
It was because the housekeeper saw these two words that he hurriedly ran to inform Qiao Nian.
The Ming King had just died, and now someone in the palace sent these two words. What does it mean?
It means that someone in the palace came up with the idea to let Qiao Nian and the Ming King have a ghost marriage!
