Chapter 267 Her surname is Xiao!
Qiao Ruyan did not go far with the people. After arranging for the injured people to go back, she waited in a teahouse until she was sure that Xiao Li had really left, then she went home.
As soon as I reached the door, I met my father who was in a hurry to go out.
Qiao Youcai looked angry and asked: "Why did you let him go? Killing my own guard and injuring so many officers and soldiers is simply lawless. How can I let him go like this? Do you think I, the prefect?" Vegetarian? ”
Qiao Ruyan said with a cold face: "Dad, there are more than thirty guards, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. Two hundred officers and soldiers have gone, but they have no power to fight back. If they want to kill Lan Zhi, how can she escape?" Drop? ”
If you don't follow a vegetarian diet, you're out of your mind.
Qiao Youcai's anger froze for a moment: "No matter what, it's true that he killed my guards and injured the officers and soldiers. If he just lets them go, how can I, the prefect, save my face?"
Qiao Ruyan didn't want to argue with him about the matter of face, so she directly asked the groom to bring him over and asked him to put the matter back to Qiao Youcai.
After a moment, Qiao Youcai's face flushed with anger. This time it was directed at Qiao Lanzhi. He felt that he had been deceived.
"How dare she confuse right and wrong like this? It's really too much. She left without permission with her guards, and didn't tell any bandits when she met them. I have to teach her a lesson."
Qiao Ruyan smiled sarcastically: "Dad, you don't have to act. If she left privately, why did your bodyguard escort her there?"
"Only you know that King Wei gave me the token. You insisted on taking the token to see it a few days ago. Where is the token now?"
Qiao Youcai retorted with a guilty conscience: "Of course I will keep it safe in my father's study."
Qiao Ruyan felt that he was hopeless.
"Dad, Qiao Lanzhi is holding the token and promoting herself everywhere as the future princess of King Wei. If King Wei knows about it, will you still be able to hold your position as the prefect?"
Qiao Lanzhi did not dare to come back to ask the prefect to send troops to deal with the bandits, not because she was afraid of her own father, but because she was afraid that her and her father's plans would be exposed, they would be laughed at and stopped, and then they would be forced to marry.
Seeing that he was completely exposed, Qiao Youcai stopped pretending: "Ruyan, Lan Zhi is your sister, you should watch and help each other. If she becomes Princess Wei, wouldn't it be a great thing?"
The whims and wishful thinking were all about her father.
That was King Wei, the only younger brother left by the empress to seize power. He patrolled the country and had the power to kill first and report later.
It's not that she belittled her sister.
But you are the daughter of a prefect's wife. In addition to her good looks, she is uneducated, cheating, lying, and willful. How can you be the Princess of Wei?
If the King of Wei is a dandy, greedy for money and lustful, maybe Qiao Lanzhi can really become a concubine or something, but then how can anyone be worthy of the King of Wei who is clean, fair, strict, and a gentleman?
Qiao Ruyan quickly made a decision: "The sixth day of next month is a good day. Dad should be ready to send Lan Zhi to get married."
Qiao Youcai immediately wanted to refute, but Qiao Ruyan looked at him coldly, with a warning in his eyes: "Dad, the noble man today is surrounded by top-notch martial arts masters, and her surname is Xiao!"
"I can't help you if you follow Lan Zhi and don't want to be the prefect, but you can't harm my mother and brother, let alone me and Han Bin!"
After Qiao Ruyan finished speaking, regardless of her father's indifferent expression, she turned around to find her husband.
Han Bin came from the capital, or came from the Empress's residence.
When Qiao Ruyan described what he saw today, Han Bin was shocked: "You said those two guards should be General Rong and General Yang, and those elite guards should be Silver Armored Guards, that is the empress."
His sister-in-law was rescued by the empress, and she repaid her kindness with hatred, hoping to take down the empress.
"It's over, absolutely over."
He is a scholar and has never killed anyone, but he also participated in the palace coup that year.
I saw the river of blood flowing with my own eyes, and I saw the empress killing decisively with my own eyes.
The empress is wise but also cruel, and she truly kills without blinking an eye.
Qiao Ruyan only thought that the woman was a noble person, but she did not expect that she was an extremely noble person that she could not even imagine.
That demeanor and demeanor make him look like he's not a mortal at first glance, no wonder. Suppressing the shock in her heart, she quickly comforted her husband: "It shouldn't be that bad."
She told Han Bin about her conversation with the empress, and Han Bin was overjoyed.
"That's because His Majesty appreciates you."
When it comes to this matter, Han Bin understands it very well.
"Your Majesty cherishes talents, knows people and makes good use of them. She must be extremely satisfied with your performance, otherwise she would not be able to leave just like that."
Qiao Ruyan was also surprised and sighed: "The King of Wei did not lie to me back then."
At that time, the King of Wei originally wanted to choose another colleague to take over as the prefect. Later, she paid and helped to clean up the mess left by the former prefect, so the King of Wei recommended her father.
At that time, she had thought that her family had spent money and effort to please King Wei, but now it seems that everything was because of King Wei's words.
She still remembers that when King Wei handed over the official seal of the prefect to her father, he did not listen to her father's thanks and assurance. Instead, he handed her a token with a smile in his eyes and told her that if she was in trouble, she could go to the Prince of Wei's Mansion for help. He also said that if there was an opportunity, he would introduce her to His Majesty.
It turned out that it was not a polite comment, but that King Wei really knew that the empress would like her.

"No!"
Qiao Ruyan's expression suddenly changed, which startled Han Bin: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Ruyan hurriedly walked out, saying as she walked: "Tomorrow, no, tonight, tonight I will marry Qiao Lanzhi."
The fact that the Empress does not care is because the Empress is generous, but it does not mean that Qiao Lanzhi is right.
When she thought of Qiao Lanzhi repaying her kindness to the empress and trying to bully others, she seemed to see a big knife hanging on the necks of everyone in the Qiao family.
There is only one step left, and that is the disaster of annihilation.
Qiao Lanzhi must get married. She can't wait until next month. Qiao Lanzhi is not worthy of choosing a good life. She has many dreams at night and things will change later. Tonight, Qiao Lanzhi will have to marry into the husband's family she originally planned to marry.
Although Grand Administrator Qiao has a high official position, Mrs. Qiao Yang is in charge of the family's financial affairs. Qiao Ruyan is appreciated by the King of Wei and participates in many political affairs. Han Bin is also an acquaintance of the empress's residence. The Qiao family really does not have the final say in the Qiao family.
Qiao Ruyan called her parents together to analyze the pros and cons, and then decided to marry Qiao Lanzhi.
When Qiao Youcai heard that it was the empress, she shrank into a quail instantly. Yang didn't even want to look at this husband who couldn't understand what he was doing. She couldn't let Qiao Lanzhi harm her children, so she immediately sent people to prepare and send him away tonight. Walk.
When Qiao Lanzhi's mother-in-law wanted to make a fuss, Yang would have her imprisoned and either poisoned to death or held back, her choice was hers.
Qiao Lanzhi didn't want to get married and wanted to run away. Qiao Ruyan slapped her hard in the face, and without any explanation, she was tied up and sent out.
In the past, Qiao Lanzhi acted like a demon and competed for favor in front of her father. Qiao Ruyan was the eldest sister. She was sensible early and didn't like to be clingy with her father, so she didn't bother to argue with her.
But if Qiao Lanzhi brings trouble to the whole family and harms her mother and younger brother, she will never tolerate it.
Get away from this scourge. She won't have this sister in the future.
Well, no one would scold Qiao Ruyan for being cold and heartless, right?
The author will explain: Qiao Ruyan is not flattering to please the empress, but to eliminate the cancer in the family.
If it weren't for Qiao Ruyan, the Qiao family would never have been able to escape if they lost their official positions and ransacked their homes.
This kind of thing cannot be dealt with clearly. If Qiao Lanzhi is allowed to dance in front of the empress again, then Qiao Ruyan will not be worthy of entering the court.
