After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The prince took a moment and then took two steps forward, trying to help Qiao Zhongtian up.

"I saw Qiao Xiang looking very good the day before yesterday. Why did he suddenly become ill?"

"Come on, be careful, I will help you up."

Qiao Zhongtian had already raised his upper body, but his hand suddenly slipped and he fell back.

Qiao Wanshu also shook her body a few times and slapped the prince's extended hand away.

"Your Highness, I forgive you. My little girl did not do it intentionally. She was really careless!"

Qiao Zhongtian protected his daughter with one hand and struggled to turn over and kneel.

After all this trouble, the prince was not given a chance to say a word.

"Xiang Qiao, there is no need to be so panicked. I will not do anything to a young baby."

The prince stood aside calmly, watching the housekeeper and his servants swarm forward, helping Qiao Zhongtian up again, but pushed him aside.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for my disrespect. I am sincerely..."

Qiao Zhongtian looked shaky, as if he would collapse to the ground again as soon as the servant let go.

The prince had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and say: "Qiao Xiang, please don't say that. You are ill. It's an unlucky time for me to come. How can I blame you for being disrespectful?"

"It's better to lie down and talk quickly, don't be tired."

He saw Qiao Zhongtian lying down on the imperial concubine's bed again, and holding Qiao Wanshu beside him again.

She actually couldn't bear to leave her even when she was ill. She obviously valued pampering very much and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Qiao Wanshu's dark eyes were like two black pills soaked in mercury. When she looked towards the prince, his heart skipped a beat.

This milk baby has just celebrated her first birthday, and her facial features can already tell how stunning she will be in the future.

When he thought that the emperor wanted to marry this baby to the ninth prince, he wanted the Qiao family to be his solid backing.

Thinking again of what the guard said, the Ninth Prince had just left Qiao Mansion.

The prince's face suddenly darkened.

He asked patiently: "Master Qiao, when I came here just now, I seemed to see the Nine Emperors disciples just leaving the house. I don't know why he came..."

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Wanshu's little body twitched twice, her mouth opened, and she spat out.

The milk cake I had eaten before was not completely digested, and was covered in saliva mixed with gastric juice.

She was flailing her limbs, and her little face quickly turned red.

Big tears kept rolling out, but her voice seemed to be choked, and she couldn't make a sound.

"Shu'er, Shu'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare daddy!"

Qiao Zhongtian was so frightened that his face changed drastically. He didn't care that he was still pretending to be sick. He was about to turn over and sit up when his neck was scratched hard by Qiao Wanshu's little hand.

Only then did he realize that his daughter was turning her back to the prince and winking at him.

Could it be...that she was acting?

Qiao Zhongtian's elbow slipped and he fell back to the imperial concubine's bed as if helplessly, finally not revealing his secrets.

"Come on, come on, come on, go find the doctor! Ahem! Go find the doctor..."

He shouted anxiously and put the prince aside again.

There was chaos in the study, and the housekeeper rushed in with his servants and maids.

He was supporting Qiao Zhongtian and holding Qiao Wanshu, leaving him no time to breathe.

The daughter of the Qiao family was suffering from an emergency. No matter how much the prince wanted to ask, he couldn't speak again under such circumstances.

He could only look at the gap, say a few words of comfort to Qiao Zhongtian, and then said goodbye and left.

After confirming that the prince had left Qiao Mansion, Qiao Wanshu gradually stopped sobbing.

[Oh my god, if that damn prince doesn’t leave, I’m going to vomit blood! 】

【yue! My throat and stomach hurt so much. I will settle this debt with that guy later! 】

Qiao Zhongtian patted his daughter guiltily.

It was because he was useless as a father, and he had to pretend to be sick to deal with the prince first.

Unexpectedly, Shu'er didn't realize it, but her acting skills even scared him.

Although the prince is gone, the play must be sung from beginning to end.

There were many doctors in the Qiao Mansion, and there were also servants and servants running around to get medicine, and there was a lot of commotion for a long time.

The spy left by the prince watched for a while and then went back to report.

In the mansion, Qiao Zhongtian was listening to the housekeeper reporting on the clues found.

"Prime Minister, we have found out that the woman in charge of purchasing clothes in the backyard has a nephew who works as a coachman in Liu Zhan and Liu Shaoqing's house. I am afraid that he was bribed because of this route."

"Both of them are missing now, but some people say they saw someone who looked exactly like them driving a carriage to the north gate of the city."

Qiao Zhongtian was furious and slammed the cup.

"Bastard!"

"Whether it's the Queen, Liu Zhan, or even that white-eyed wolf from Fang Yan'er, they all treat the Qiao family as soft persimmons. I am the Prime Minister of the country, and the Qiao family and the Chen family are all from a century-old family, but they can still be bullied by them. Let’s go!”

"If the tiger doesn't show off its power, why should it be assumed that it's just a sick cat?"

Qiao Wanshu was also indignant in her heart: [That’s right, Dad. Our family and my grandfather's family want money, power, and your reputation as an official is even better. That's how you got the fear of that dog emperor! 】

[In order to avoid getting into trouble, our family has already refrained from taking sides and being public, but they really regard us as easy to bully. Are they not afraid that we will rebel before Liu Zhan does? 】

Qiao Zhongtian heard a black line.

But what my daughter said makes sense.

If he had to force someone to die, could he really watch his family die?

We have seen many stupid things like foolish loyalty in ancient times.

If the emperor really presses to that point, then...

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly heard Chen's slightly angry voice.

"Prime Minister, why are you so angry? That tea cup is a dead thing, and it won't relieve your anger even if you drop it. It's better to send someone to catch those two villains who dare to harm my Qiao family, and then deal with them severely. It’s so satisfying.”

This time it was Qiao Wanshu's turn to have a black line on her forehead.

Unexpectedly, her gentle and gentle mother can be fierce even when she attacks.

However, Mrs. Chen quickly softened her voice, first touched Qiao Wanshu's little face, and then said to Qiao Zhongtian: "Prime Minister, have you forgotten that Wu Zhao, the son of Wu Shangshu, will come to visit tonight with Wu Qingyun."

"Now His Majesty has granted marriage to our two families. We cannot neglect our relatives in this first official meeting."

Qiao Wanshu clapped her hands after hearing this: [Sister-in-law...sweep...er...two]

Mrs. Chen could hear her trying to call her second sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "Yes, our Shu'er will have a second sister-in-law soon."

"Madam, how are we preparing the betrothal gift?"

Qiao Zhongtian also temporarily turned his attention. After all, the visit of relatives is more important now.

"Don't worry, my mother and I paid close attention to the betrothal gift in person. There is nothing wrong with it."

"It's just a meeting gift for Qingyun. I thought I'd give him a bracelet first. It won't be too attentive and grand, but I won't be negligent."

"That's one of the Chen family heirlooms that my father gave me when I got married."

"The other one was given to my sister-in-law as a symbol of my eldest daughter-in-law's status."

Qiao Wanshu was originally listening with interest, but as soon as she heard the bracelet, she sat up straight.

【bracelet? That bracelet cannot be given away! 】
