Chapter 359

Qiao Nian naturally felt the fierceness of Princess Shu Yuan.

But he pretended not to notice it, and continued to speak slowly, "I am not pleading for General Xiao, but I am just thinking that since General Xiao has just taken over the Imperial Guards, who on earth has cultivated the Imperial Guards to be so bold that they dare to cause chaos in the harem."

Sure enough, Princess Shu Yuan's eyes changed.

"Who was the last commander of the Imperial Guards?"

Yun'er on the side hurriedly responded, "Reporting to the princess, it was Concubine De's younger brother, Sun Xian."

"Oh, yes, it's Sun Xian!" Princess Shu Yuan's eyes turned cold, "No wonder, relying on his sister being Concubine De, Sun Xian has ignored this princess several times!"

Speaking of this, Princess Shu Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and said sinisterly, "Maybe, this matter was planned by that bastard!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's heart skipped a beat.

She never meant to hint at these, she was just simply trying to excuse Brother Xiao!

Just then Princess Shu Yuan asked, "Where is Sun Xian now?"

Yun'er continued, "I heard that Lord Sun has been idle at home since he was dismissed from office. Concubine De seemed to have said a lot of good things to the emperor, but the emperor never agreed."

Princess Shu Yuan snorted coldly, "You want to rise to prominence after harming this princess?"

In her gloomy eyes, she had obviously thought about how to murder Sun Xian.

Qiao Nian did not respond.

She couldn't be soft-hearted at this time.

Princess Shu Yuan was so cruel and ruthless. If she really wanted to kill Brother Xiao, I'm afraid that no matter how wise and brave Brother Xiao was, he might not be able to escape the sneak attack.

If one of Brother Xiao and Sun Xian had to die in the hands of Princess Shu Yuan, it could only be Sun Xian!

But even if Qiao Nian didn't respond, Princess Shu Yuan still focused her attention on her and asked in a deep voice, "Then, Xiao He has nothing to do with it?"

Qiao Nian couldn't help but look up at Princess Shu Yuan. Seeing that Princess Shu Yuan was clearly testing her, she finally took a deep breath and said, "Commander Xiao has done me a favor, so I naturally don't want him to get into trouble. But now I am more concerned about the princess."

Hearing this, the princess raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Then tell me, how do you think about me?"

"Commander Xiao is quite favored by the emperor. If the princess acts rashly, I am afraid she will anger the emperor. What's more... the princess should still like General Xiao now, right?"

Qiao Nian asked softly, guessing, but also with some certainty.

If Princess Shu Yuan really didn't care about Xiao Heng at all, how could she hate her?

After this, Princess Shu Yuan's face really showed some strangeness.

I just heard Qiao Nian continue, "Commander Xiao and General Xiao are brothers after all, and they have a deep relationship. If General Xiao knew about this, he would probably blame the princess."

"This princess doesn't care about him!" Princess Shu Yuan snorted coldly, but with a bit of hypocrisy.

Qiao Nian didn't say anything else, and stood there with her eyes downcast.

Princess Shu Yuan looked at her for a while, then said, "Okay, you go down first! I'll let you check the pulse of the ladies in the palace later."

"Yes." Qiao Nian responded, and then bowed and left.

Seeing her back leaving, Princess Shu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Yun'er, do you think Qiao Nian is trustworthy?"

Yun'er was waiting carefully beside her. She looked at Qiao Nian's back and said softly, "I don't know, but I think this Miss Qiao is now helpless in the capital. She doesn't have the ability and courage to go against the princess."

Hearing this, Princess Shu Yuan snorted coldly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "This princess thinks so too. Even if she dared before, she shouldn't dare to do it after seeing the body of her housekeeper when she returned home yesterday."

Yun'er didn't say anything, but just smiled, but she couldn't help but think of the words Qiao Nian said to her in the Pingyang Palace that day.

She didn't know if it was because of those words that the princess didn't have the slightest intention of taking advantage of her during this period of time. Instead, she trusted her more. No one else could listen to anything, only she could listen.

Although she knew that this might not be a good thing, as long as the princess still believed in her, she would have a way to survive.

After all, the princess still needed someone to do things around her.

After Qiao Nian left the princess's bedroom, she returned to the Imperial Hospital.

Along the way, she was worried.

I don't know if the words she said in front of the princess today can make the princess let go of Brother Xiao.

But even if it works this time, what about the next time?

She knew that she couldn't be passive all the time, but she didn't know how to turn passive into active.

While thinking, she stepped into the Imperial Hospital.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard someone calling, "Miss Qiao is finally back, General Xiao has been waiting for a long time!"

Qiao Nian was stunned, raised her eyes and looked towards the inner room, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Heng standing up from the chair and walking towards her slowly.

She frowned slightly and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, General Xiao. I wonder why General Xiao came to the Imperial Hospital?"

"I came to see you on purpose." Xiao Heng said softly, with a strong emotion hidden between his eyebrows, "I know you have been promoted to a female doctor, so I came to congratulate you. Here."

As he spoke, he handed over a jewelry box.

Qiao Nian didn't take it, but frowned and said, "Thank you, General. I appreciate your kindness, but I won't accept it without merit. I..."

"Do you have to have this kind of birth between you and me?"

Xiao Heng interrupted Qiao Nian's words, and the fingertips holding the jewelry box were slightly white.

Even if there is no relationship between men and women, but it is the love of growing up, is it not so alienated to even be as good as strangers?

Qiao Nian sighed slightly, and listened to Xiao Hengdao, "It's just a congratulations, there is no other meaning."

When it comes to this portion, if Qiao Nian didn't pick it up, she looked ruthless.

So, I took my hands, "Thank you General."

But I didn't want to, Xiao Heng's tone smiled instantly, "Open it?"

Qiao Nian didn't want to open it.

But Xiao Heng's eyes were looking forward to, bright, making people inexplicably refuse.

So she slowly opened the jewelry box.

A pair of earrings lying in it.

Agate's earrings.

Qiao Nian's brows frowned all of a sudden, and dyed a little displeased, "What does General Xiao mean?"

Seeing Qiao Nian's anger, Xiao Heng explained in a busy way, "Don't be angry, this is not the string of the original, you see, the gold jewelry on it is different!"

Of course, Qiao Nian knew that this was not the original pair of earrings.

At first Xiao Heng forced the pair of earrings that she had brought, and was brought off by King Ming for a long time.

But even if it was not King Ming, the earrings brought her a memory worthy of being remembered. She really didn't understand why Xiao Heng had to send these.
