After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

The next day, Qiao Nian accompanied Mrs. Lin into the palace.

Concubine De Gui had been waiting early in the morning.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Concubine De Gui rushed over to greet her, with tears in her eyes, "Nian Nian, you're here! I thought you wouldn't want to see me again!"

"How could that be?" Qiao Nian responded softly, as if nothing was wrong.

Concubine De was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Lin.

Then Mrs. Lin said, "I told you earlier that Nian Nian didn't take that matter to heart, but you didn't believe it."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I really didn't expect... Oh, let's go inside first!"

Concubine De said as she pulled Qiao Nian into the house.

But as soon as he entered the door, Qiao Nian's steps stopped.

Just because there was a person kneeling in the room.

Just by looking at his back, you can tell he is King Ming.

Seeing Qiao Nian's face change slightly, Concubine De Gui hurriedly comforted her, "This kid is such a bastard. I will teach him a lesson today in front of Nian Nian to see if he dares to bully you again in the future!"

With that said, Concubine De Gui took the bamboo whip handed to her by the palace maid and threw it hard towards King Ming's back.

Just once, a crisp sound echoed in the house.

King Ming groaned, but still stood up straight.

Concubine De Gui then gave her a second blow, and then a third blow...

Qiao Nian just stood there and watched quietly.

She wanted to see how long Concubine De Gui could keep pretending.

Seeing blood oozing from the clothes on Prince Ming's back, Concubine De Gui's hands clearly began to tremble, even the strength was weak. It looked like she was beating, but in fact she was just brushing against Prince Ming's back.

Just when she didn't know whether to continue, Mrs. Lin spoke at the right time and stepped forward to protect Prince Ming, "Okay, okay, this is not a big deal, there is no need to fight like this! His Highness Prince Ming should have already realized his mistake. !Yes or no?"

Mrs. Lin gave King Ming a gentle push, hinting him to speak.

Sure enough, King Ming slowly turned his head and looked at Qiao Nian, "Everything is my fault. I was confused. I'm sorry for Nian Nian. Mother and Concubine did the right thing!"

What a good show.

Qiao Nian looked at all this indifferently, met Prince Ming's pretendingly affectionate eyes, and even curled his lips and smiled.

King Ming was stunned.

He thought that when he saw Qiao Nian again, Qiao Nian would be full of fear and would even avoid his eyes. He never thought that Qiao Nian would actually smile at him!

But after being stunned, an unspeakable excitement surged over his head.

Prince Ming clenched his fist tightly and resisted the urge to grab the whip from Concubine De Gui and throw it at Qiao Nian.

The longing in his eyes was too obvious, and Qiao Nian saw it clearly, and immediately said, "Since King Ming has realized his mistake, the imperial concubine should not punish her again! If the beating continues, Nian Nian will not have a husband."

As she spoke, there was a smile on her lips.

Concubine De Gui thought she was shy, so she immediately threw away the bamboo whip, stepped forward and took Qiao Nian's hand, "You girl, how can you be so sensible? You make me feel so..."

It’s so uncomfortable!

Concubine De Gui was not a vicious person. There was nothing she could do about a son like Prince Ming, but after all, he was her own flesh and blood, so she could only choose to side with him unconditionally.

But for Qiao Nian, she felt guilty no matter what she did.

Several young eunuchs stepped forward to help King Ming down to apply the medicine, while Concubine Degui led Qiao Nian to sit down, "With a wife like you who can tolerate him, I believe that Qi'er will cherish you in the future. I will never hurt you again!"

Qiao thought but smiled and said nothing.

She felt that Concubine De Gui really didn't understand her son at all.

The look in Prince Ming's eyes just now made him want to beat her to pieces on the spot and leave her half dead!

Seeing Qiao Nian not speaking, Concubine De Gui lost her mind again.

After thinking for a while, she gestured to her eldest maid.

The eldest maid nodded immediately and led the other maids and eunuchs out of the room.

Concubine De Gui, Mrs. Lin, and Qiao Nian were the only ones left in the room.

Mrs. Lin was curious and couldn't help but ask, "My dear concubine, what are you..."

But Concubine De Gui patted Qiao Nian's hand and said softly, "Wait a minute."

After that, he got up and went to the back room, and came out not long after.

Holding a title deed in hand.

"This is a property purchased by me outside the palace. It is a clothing store. Please keep it."

As she spoke, she thrust the land deed into Qiao Nian's hand.

Qiao Nian was really surprised. In fact, the purpose of her visit today was for Prince Ming, and she had not thought about what she could get from Concubine De.

Even Mrs. Lin was very surprised, "This is your dowry, it's too expensive! Never do it!"

"Nian Nian will be my daughter-in-law soon, why not?" Concubine De Gui said. Seeing that Qiao Nian didn't want to accept it, she simply forced the land deed into Qiao Nian's arms, "Okay, okay. , Don’t let me do anything immodest again!”

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes, straightened her clothes, and then said, "Then, Nian Nian would be disrespectful."

This is what Concubine De Gui uses to buy her own conscience. If Qiao Nian accepts it, Concubine De Gui will feel better.

Sure enough, seeing Qiao Nian accept it, Concubine De Gui felt a lot more relaxed, so she pulled Qiao Nian and said a lot of flattering words before letting Qiao Nian leave.

When leaving Concubine De's palace, Qiao Nian did not see Prince Ming again.

She thought that her trip today was in vain, but she didn't expect that Prince Ming was waiting for her outside the palace gate.

Mrs. Lin was a little nervous, and her movements of saluting to King Ming were a little stiff, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"I am waiting for Nian Nian." Hearing King Ming say this, Mrs. Lin became even more nervous, and immediately glanced at Qiao Nian.

She was really worried that King Ming would take Qiao Nian to the west of the city again, but... she couldn't say anything to stop King Ming.

But Qiao Nian stepped forward and slowly said, "I will talk to King Ming, and Madam Lin will go back first!"

For some reason, hearing Qiao Nian say this, Mrs. Lin was relieved.

She nodded, but as if to warn King Ming, she said, "Then, your father and I are waiting for you in the mansion."

She thought that if she brought up Lord Lin, King Ming would be scared.

But King Ming just smiled and said nothing.

Qiao Nian also thought she was very ridiculous, and turned around and got on King Ming's carriage.

The latter obviously didn't expect Qiao Nian to be so proactive, and was slightly stunned, and then saluted Mrs. Lin.

She looked gentle and refined.

But, such a gentle and refined person, the moment the curtain was lowered, her true colors were exposed.

Those eyes with sparkling light stared at Qiao Nian, and the urgency in his eyes almost overflowed.

He stared at Qiao Nian, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked extremely treacherous, "Do you know where I am taking you?"

"West of the city."

Qiao Nian replied indifferently, without any fear at all.

So much so that King Ming frowned slightly and looked at her in some confusion, "Are you really not afraid?"

Qiao Nian did not answer, but just smiled at King Ming, "I am afraid, but before I go today, can you accompany me to a place first?"
