Chapter 214: Old Master Qiao Waits for Qiao Linxi at the Palace Gate
The prince had no idea what the relationship between Qiao Linxi and Gu Changfeng was. He only knew that Qiao Linxi was brought into the palace by Gu Changfeng.
After chatting with the queen for a while, the prince saw people from his own palace coming to look for him. He knew that something must have happened, so he said goodbye to the queen.
Prince's Mansion...
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the prince's face immediately became serious, "The people behind us haven't been implicated, right?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know yet. But the fire was strange. Since it happened in the middle of the night, I don't know what caused it."
"Four corpses..." The prince rubbed the ring on his hand and said, "You go and clean up the mess. Don't let anyone notice anything."
The man was about to leave when the prince stopped him again: "Tell the people below not to provoke Princess Huai'an."
"Princess Huai'an?"
Prince: "Qiao Linxi."
The man asked, "Your Highness, are you afraid of her?"
These people naturally knew that Qiao Linxi was wearing a dragon-shaped jade pendant.
"A country girl is nothing to be afraid of, but you should know that behind Qiao Linxi is Gu the eunuch."
The prince's words made the man's face change, and he said seriously: "I know."
After the man left, the prince rubbed his ring and murmured to himself: "Yue Lai Inn..."
Outside the palace, Old Master Qiao was indeed still waiting there for Qiao Linxi to come out.
He guessed that although Qiao Linxi was kept by the emperor, she would eventually leave the palace.
So after leaving the palace, he sent a servant to the Qiao family to tell Old Madam Qiao to get ready, as Qiao Linxi would be back soon.
Of course, Old Master Qiao did not ask Qiao Linxi's opinion. He just thought that since Qiao Linxi was his granddaughter, she must live in the Qiao family.
It was past noon when he waited. Old Master Qiao was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dizzy, but he didn't want to leave, so he sent a servant to buy him a cake. He ate it in the carriage while waiting for Qiao Linxi to come out.
At the end of the day, the servant looked at the exhausted Old Master Qiao, glanced at the palace gate, and asked, "Master, will the young lady not leave the palace?"
Old Master Qiao didn't know whether Qiao Linxi would leave the palace today, nor could he say whether the emperor would keep her.
As he was asking, he saw Gu Changfeng's carriage coming out. Old Master Qiao perked up, put down the cake, wiped his hands and jumped off the carriage.
"Manager Gu..."
Old Master Qiao's attitude was very respectful. He was a man who could decide life and death with just a word.
Hearing Old Master Qiao's voice, Qiao Linxi lifted the carriage curtain and stuck her head out. This Old Master Qiao was really waiting outside the palace. Was he waiting for her? Probably, right?
But how did Gu Changfeng know that Old Master Qiao was waiting here? Could it be that he had clairvoyance?
"Master Host, Xiao Jiujiu also knows that your grandfather is waiting for you here."
The system can predict what will happen in a short period of time, so she knows it's not surprising that Old Master Qiao is waiting for her here.
But more than three hours have passed since the court was adjourned. How did Gu Changfeng determine that Old Master Qiao was waiting for him here?
Could it be that Gu Changfeng also has the ability to predict the future?
"Princess Huai'an..."
Seeing that Qiao Linxi didn't say anything, Old Master Qiao continued, "I have asked the people in the mansion to prepare lunch, and the yard has been cleaned up."
Qiao Linxi curled her lips. Could she not go to the Qiao Mansion?
"Don't bother, I plan to leave today."
Qiao Linxi still refused. She didn't want to go to the Qiao family just like that. She was not the real Qiao family's granddaughter, Qiao Linxi. She was worried that if she went to get acquainted with them first, Qiao Linqin and the others would have some thoughts.
Old Master Qiao was stunned: "You're leaving? Not going home?"
There was a sense of loss in his tone. He had been waiting for his son to come home for twenty years, but what he got was a pile of bones. Although he left behind grandchildren, this granddaughter never came home. How could he not feel lost?
"Yes. Go back along the way and check the accounts as you go."
"Can't we leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Old Master Qiao had no feelings for Qiao Linxi, and could be said to be a stranger to her. But she was his granddaughter, his spiritual support. He didn't want to see his granddaughter pass by his house without entering.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't that your birthday?"
Gu Changfeng next to him suddenly interrupted: "No matter how urgent it is, it won't be too late to go after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Qiao Linxi looked at Gu Changfeng suddenly. How did he know that his birthday was Mid-Autumn Festival?
"Yes, yes, yes," Old Master Qiao nodded quickly, "It won't be long. I'll attend Wan'er's wedding banquet after the Mid-Autumn Festival and then leave."
"Qiao Wan'er?" Qiao Linxi was surprised, "She's getting married?"
"Well, Wan'er is not young anymore, it's time for her to get married."
Seeing that Qiao Linxi showed signs of staying, Old Master Qiao secretly made an extra effort to keep Qiao Linxi.
"My uncles and aunts know you are here, and they are all waiting at home. You are busy, so you can spend a few days here."
Old Master Qiao made up his mind and asked people to pick an auspicious day to marry Qiao Wan'er off as soon as he got home, so that her children in the Qiao family would not be unable to return home.
The Qiao family has raised her for nearly twenty years, so they are considered to be her mother.
It was true that Zijin was wrong back then, but the kindness of raising her for the past twenty years can be considered as compensation to Qiao Wan'er's mother.
Although they had raised Qiao Wan'er for twenty years and had a deep relationship, they were not blood relatives after all. In front of a real blood like Qiao Linxi, she was nothing.
On the one hand, Qiao Linxi was younger than Qiao Wan'er, and she earned the title of a princess as soon as she arrived in the capital. This comparison immediately revealed the difference.
The Qiao Wan'er they raised is not as good as Qiao Linxi raised by Zijin.
In comparison, Qiao Linxi is more like a member of the Qiao family.
"Princess Huai'an, the people in the Qiao family are all your elders. If you leave like this, I'm afraid outsiders will find fault with you. They will report to the emperor that you are unfilial, which is a serious crime."
"Stop it..."
Qiao Linxi interrupted Gu Changfeng and said, "Stop talking. I'll just stay for a few days."
Old Master Qiao looked at Gu Changfeng with great joy. He was planning to risk his old face and play the emotional card with Qiao Linxi. In the end, none of the words he had prepared came into play, and Qiao Linxi agreed to stay.
"Hey, good..."
Old Master Qiao smiled brightly in an instant. His wait outside the palace was not in vain.
"Master, please take the princess back with you. We will go to the princess's mansion and buy her anything she needs."
Old Master Qiao nodded quickly: "Manager Gu, please go and do your work. I will bring the princess back to the mansion."
After saying that, Old Master Qiao stretched out his hand and tried to help Qiao Linxi get off the carriage. But Qiao Linxi didn't help him, but just lifted her skirt and jumped off.
At the Qiao Mansion, a servant came to report that the eldest daughter would be returning home soon and asked Old Lady Qiao to prepare lunch. Old Lady Qiao was surprised and thought the servant was playing a prank.
"Grandma, has that Qiao Linxi really come to the capital?"
Qiao Wan'er was wearing a peach pink dress. She heard the conversation between the servant and Old Madam Qiao, and walked in from outside.
