Chapter 11
After arranging the accommodation, it didn't take long for the maid from the Gao Mansion to bring clean clothes.

"Princess, put on your clothes first."

Qiao Ji looked at Xie Liangyue who was lying beside the bed, and said softly.

Xie Liangyue had already regained her clarity at this time, she nodded and got out of bed.

Seeing that she was fine, Qiao Ji explained a few words to the maid and went out to wait.

When she was young, Xie Liangyue changed her clothes and opened the door. She asked the maid to go back and called "Qiao Ji"

Xie Liangyue turned around and sat in the armchair, watched Qiao Ji enter the room, after a long silence, asked him: "What's going on?"

"Back to the princess, the young master Gao is named Gao Tianrui, he is the only son of Gao Taining, the prefect of Tanzhou, and he sent the group today."

Qiao Ji paused at this point, "The reason is because the subordinate offended him yesterday, and he deliberately took revenge. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, the princess would not have suffered such humiliation."

He half-kneeled on the ground, his tone full of self-blame: "Please punish the princess."

Sure enough, it was because of such small things.

Xie Liangyue shook her head and said, "It's not your fault."

"The county lord."

Qiao Ji didn't expect that at this moment, she would not blame herself at all.

His heart seemed to be on fire. If he came a moment late, he didn't dare to think about what would happen.

"How do you know about this relationship?" Xie Liangyue asked.

"At that time, the subordinates found out that the princess was missing, so they arrested an assassin and asked Gao Taining with the token. Only then did they know where the princess is."

He said it lightly, but it must not be that simple.At that time, there were more than a dozen assassins alone. Xie Liangyue could guess a thing or two about how he pressed the question and how he broke through the encirclement.

"come over."

Xie Liangyue called him.

Qiao Ji raised her head upon hearing this, her special eyes were slightly swollen from crying just now, making her look even more seductive.

He stood up and walked forward, just as he was about to speak, Xie Liangyue grabbed his hand.

"The county lord."

He choked his throat and let the other party grab it, and then he felt the palm of his hand being opened, and the girl's soft fingers came up.

"Does it hurt?"

Xie Liangyue looked at the wound on the palm of his hand, it was still very swollen, and it seemed that it was going to bleed if he didn't pay attention.

Qiao Ji opened his mouth, and it took him a while to say the phrase "it doesn't hurt".

He stared at the top of Xie Liangyue's head, resisting the urge to take her into his arms.

"As the son of the magistrate, Gao Tianrui's style is too arrogant."

Xie Liangyue let go of his hand and said in thought: "Although the magistrate is a local official, it is rare to see such an arrogant behavior in the capital."

"Even if the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he can let his son do whatever he wants, Gao Taining must not be what he seems."

Qiao Ji felt that what she said was reasonable, "How does the princess want to deal with it?"

"Observe first before we talk," Xie Liangyue stood up, "Let's go and meet that Gao Zhifu."
-
When Xie Liangyue arrived at the lobby, Gao Taining was standing by the door waiting for her. As soon as he saw her, he knelt down and made a big salute.

"The next official pays homage to the princess."

Xie Liangyue glanced over, and sat down in the middle of the lobby without a trace of expression.

Qiao Ji stood beside her.

The princess did not speak, Gao Taining knelt there, quite at a loss.

He didn't know how many times he had scolded his unworthy son, but when he saw Qiao Ji, he still hated him extremely.

He married five wives, but only had one son, Gao Tianrui. The Gao family counted on this son to carry on the family line, so he had to save his life no matter what.

"Is the princess better?"

Gao Taining bit the bullet and said politely.

"Hmph," Xie Liangyue curled her lips, she looked at the kneeling person below, and felt it was amused, "The Gao Zhifu thinks that the princess should be good or bad?"

When Gao Taining heard this, he kowtowed immediately, "The princess forgives the sin, it is the officials who are not strict in teaching children that caused today's disaster, if the princess wants to vent her anger, how to punish the officials, the officials will have no complaints."

What he said took all the blame on himself, but his disgusting son didn't mention it at all.

Qiao Ji's eyes darkened, he would never let that scumbag go.

Xie Liangyue seemed to have noticed his strangeness, she leaned towards him calmly, then raised her head and gave him a reassuring look.

Qiao Ji was soothed by her eyes, but felt guilty again in the next second.

Obviously she caused her pain, but she came to comfort herself.

Xie Liangyue didn't take into account what he was thinking at this time, she just sensed Qiao Ji's anger and was afraid that he would be impulsive, so she reminded him with her eyes.

Sure enough, he became honest in an instant.

Xie Liangyue turned her head to look at Gao Taining, with the aura of a royal princess, "Gaozhifu, as a parent official, you let your son do whatever he wants. The princess heard that before this, Gao Tianrui had done many rapes of civilian girls." , to bully the common people."

"Princess, next officer"

"The princess speaks, how dare you speak up!"

Gao Taining was choked back by Qiao Ji's words before he could finish his sentence.

He knelt in the hall, lowered his head, with an embarrassment that had never been seen on his face.

Xie Liangyue leaned forward slightly, her voice was not loud but very sharp: "Could it be with the acquiescence of the magistrate?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was equivalent to convicting him. As a local parent official, if his superiors found out, he would be dismissed from office at least, or exiled at worst.

Gao Taining was scared out of his wits, he took a few steps on his knees, and unconsciously raised his voice: "Princess, as a magistrate, I am familiar with the laws and regulations of Daqu, how could I break the law and acquiesce to my son to do such a thing. It's my son who doesn't live up to expectations, he died early when he was a child, I think he is pitiful, he is a bit arrogant, I never knew he would do such a thing."

"It's because the lower officials are not strict in discipline, which caused this big mistake. After the lower officials, they must be strictly supervised, so that Nizi can change his past mistakes."

He burst into tears and spoke from the bottom of his heart, as if he really repented.

Qiao Ji looked at him, and frowned unconsciously. He was afraid that the princess would let him go, and just wanted to remind him not to be confused by appearances, when Xie Liangyue said, "Gao Zhifu, get up."

"Princess." Qiao Ji immediately reminded her, but she stretched out her hand to stop her.

Xie Liangyue didn't care about him, she just stood up and stretched out her hands to pull Gao Taining up who was kneeling.

"Thank you, Lord."

Gao Taining's eyes were red, his back was bent, and his shoulders were slumped, making people very pitiful.

"I don't think my lord is such a person who ignores the king's law. If the son can sincerely repent, the princess will definitely let the net go, and let this matter go."

Qiao Ji was no longer calm, he wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Xie Liangyue's eyes.

This time did not make Gao Tianrui suffer, Qiao Ji was very depressed.

He didn't understand why the princess could choose to forgive after suffering such a great grievance, and he felt as if he was pressed by a stone and couldn't breathe.

Until Xie Liangyue told him to go back, his face was still dark.

Seeing this, Xie Liangyue didn't say much, but went out on her own.

At the moment of going out, a thin man approached. Xie Liangyue recognized that this was the person who took her captive here.

And when she saw the other party's outstanding appearance, she was instantly stunned.

Is it him?
