Xiao family.
Qiao Zhongguo sat in the inner hall with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, still waiting for Xiao Hongda to come back.
Qiao Jiaojiao was nibbling small cookies in order not to doze off.
Qiao Zhongguo reviewed everything that happened tonight and asked Qiao Tianjing about the ending.
Qiao Tianjing replied calmly: "Dad, don't worry, we have left everything to Uncle Qiao. My son has told me that the singer and the four government officials are important witnesses, so be sure to keep an eye on them."
"Although the singer is dead, there may be traces of her identity and the drugs she carried."
"If General Guo listens to General Xiao and takes Guo Gaoyi to the palace in time to plead guilty, then the Holy One will definitely send someone to take away the government servants and the singer."
"If the Holy One is willing to investigate, he will definitely not miss the person behind the scenes!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help but grin.
[Does the second prince feel that he is unlucky in his life and is destined to be too old? Haha, it’s time for him to experience setbacks in everything he has been doing smoothly! 】
[Then Li Xusheng was also careless. He probably didn't expect that such a brilliant plan of the Second Prince would fail, so he didn't even prepare a backup plan. 】
[Tsk, tsk, if that dog emperor knew that the second prince was dishonest when he entered the clan's mansion and extended his hand to the military power in the south, I don't know how angry he would be! 】
[I guess after this incident, the second prince will really have to stop for a while. Smart people should know that love is a consumable, use it less. 】
[I wish he was a little more crazy, so that it would be easier to grasp the situation. Unfortunately, the male protagonist is indeed smart, otherwise he would not have been the final winner in his previous life. 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he nodded with deep understanding.
Even with his little sister's ability to predict the future, he never dared to underestimate the second prince.
In every game, you must give your best!
Qiao Jiaojiao took another bite of the biscuit and continued to complain in her heart:
[I just heard from my elder brother that the singer seemed to have recited "Magpie Bridge Immortal"? 】
[Tsk, tsk, Meng Guxue was really manipulated by the second prince. I don’t know if she just missed this move or if she leaked all her cards to the second prince. 】
[If she still had any brains, she should have known how to copy poems in the same style, otherwise she would copy one poem here and another here and there. With the Second Prince’s talent, it would be strange if he didn’t get caught! 】
[If it is discovered that it is a soul from another world, it will not be burned to death, right? No, with the second prince's character and methods, he would definitely hang Meng Guxue up and squeeze all the modern knowledge out of her mind before she would give up! 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao shuddered.
She already had the image of a whip dipped in salt water in her mind!
Qiao Zhongguo noticed Qiao Jiaojiao's strange behavior and quickly shook her and held her closer.
Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, our whole family will protect you even if we risk our lives!
Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed Qiao Zhongguo's arm, feeling extremely at ease, when suddenly there was a strange noise from behind the inner hall.
Qiao Zhongguo stood up suddenly and saw Xiao Hongda in night clothes coming back!
Qiao Zhongguo stepped forward with concern, and the first thing he asked was: "Lao Da, is General Guo okay?"
Xiao Hongda shook his head, "Master... General Guo is very calm. When I left, General Guo had already decided to take Guo Gaoyi into the palace to face the saint."
Qiao Zhongguo finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Great, in this way, we will know the outcome tomorrow morning."
Xiao Hongda was still a little worried, "Guo Gaoyi did something wrong. Although he is not as guilty as General Guo, I don't know if the Holy One is willing to spare him."
"If Guo Gaoyi is really executed for this tonight, I'm afraid General Guo will also have a thorn in his heart."
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, an unpredictable look suddenly appeared on his face.
"Lao Da, don't be afraid. We still have helpers by your side."
Xiao Hongda:?
"We've been apart for three days. You should look at me with admiration, Old Qiao!"
Xiao Hongda looked Qiao Zhongguo up and down, not expecting that he was acting so flawlessly now.
Qiao Zhongguo smiled and put his arms around Xiao Hongda's shoulders, and finally there was a hint of relaxation on his face.
"Come on, the drinks are all set down. Even if you're just putting on a show, you still have to have a few drinks, right?"
Two quarters of an hour later, Qiao Zhongguo, with the support of his two righteous brothers, drunkenly walked out of the gate of Xiao Mansion.
General Xiao came to the door specially. Seeing the empty steps, he also drank a lot.
The two said goodbye loudly, and it was obvious that they had a very happy meeting.
Qiao Zhongguo was helped into the carriage, and the moment the curtain was lowered, the drunkenness on his face disappeared, and his eyes were bright and he was sober.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at her father and praised with a smile:
[It turns out that my dad still has the potential to be an actor! 】
The carriage was swaying, and when they arrived at Qiao's residence, Qiao Jiaojiao, who had been up all day, had already fallen asleep.
After Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing returned home, they went to the study. About half an hour later, Qiao Bo finally returned with the secret guards.
Qiao Zhongguo asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Bo responded respectfully: "Back to the general, the body of the singer and the four government officials have been taken away by the palace people."
After hearing this, Qiao Tianjing finally raised the corner of his mouth, "That's great."
Qiao Bo looked more relaxed and said with a smile:
"It's a coincidence that the Second Prince's people came one step ahead and just had a face-to-face encounter with us. Before we could take action, the imperial army arrived."
"We claim to be from the Guo Mansion, and we stand there upright, but the Second Prince's people have fled."
"We were waiting for the Imperial Guards to lead people around the corner, and then we left in a hurry."
Speaking of this, Qiao Bo suddenly lowered his voice and looked slightly solemn.
"There are two brothers who were sent by the young master to guard the back door and dark alley of Zuixian Tower, so they never showed up."
"They were a little late in evacuating, and unexpectedly discovered that there was still a force secretly observing!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing sat upright suddenly.
"Can you tell where it comes from?"
Qiao Bo shook his head, "The other party was also very cautious. He only took action after seeing us leave. If it weren't for our two brothers hiding in the dark, I'm afraid they would have missed it."
"According to the inference of my subordinates, that force should be here to watch. Otherwise, if they intervene, our brothers will not be aware of it."
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he couldn't help but stand up.
Qiao Tianjing looked thoughtful and suddenly said: "Dad, my son has a guess."
Qiao Zhongguo turned around, looked at each other and Qiao Tianjing, and they both uttered two words at the same time:
"Prince."
As a prince, with a stable position, the most important thing is to be honest and obedient. As long as he does not arouse the emperor's suspicion and disgust, he can inherit the throne obediently in the future.
The prince has always done this.
However, the last Dragon Boat Festival banquet made the prince fully realize that his position as crown prince was not stable, and the second prince's weight in Emperor Yong's heart was very important.
So, he also started to take action!
This time, just watch.
Because Qiao Tianjing made arrangements in advance, Guo Gaoyi's crisis was resolved.
Qiao Tianjing had no doubt at this time that if he had not intervened, the prince's men would have got into the situation and disrupted the second prince's plan!
This pool of water is really too deep.
