TBTAMN Chapter 116

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 3) Chapter 116(31)

“I’m sorry that I dragged you into this.”

Nan Jun’s words came from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, she could only be thankful that the Yun’er she loved was her little prince. Otherwise, she would have owed this prince too much.

Nan Jun’s apology made Qiao Yun’s eyes redden again. This apology was something she owed her, but thinking of the bitterness in Nan Jun’s heart over the years, Qiao Yun couldn’t bear to blame her.

“It’s alright.”

Qiao Yun shook his head with red eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, and his voice quivering.

Nan Jun felt a pang of pain in her heart, wishing she could immediately hold the little one in her arms and comfort him, but he was unwilling to show her his true face, and she did not want to go against his wishes.

When the Emperor and Queen arrived, everyone had been waiting for a long time.

The Emperor glanced at Nan Zhi once before looking away, but the Queen kept staring in the direction of Nan Jun and Qiao Yun.

“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress! Long live the Emperor!”

“Rise. Today I have invited you all to enjoy the flowers and scenery. There is no need for such formalities.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Is Lao Ba feeling any better?”

When Nan Jun heard the Emperor call her, she quickly stood up and said, “Thank you for your concern, Mother. I am much better now.”

Nan Jun wasn’t foolish enough to say she had fully recovered; after all, there were too many things to face after recovery, and she wasn’t ready.

At this moment, Nan Jun’s primary task is to subdue her little prince before discussing anything else.

“Now that you’re feeling better, come to the palace more often. Yun’er has been married to you for so long, and this is the first time I’ve seen you bring him into the palace!”

The Emperor’s tone carried a hint of reproach; ever since the child returned injured, she seemed to have grown distant from her.

“Yes.”

Nan Jun obediently agreed, and then the Queen over there spoke up as well.

What’s wrong with this child?

Everyone knows that the young master of the Qiao family looks exactly like the queen; he is the most handsome man in the southern kingdom.

Now that such a beautiful face is hidden by a veil, even the emperor and empress feel sorry for Qiao Yun.

The Queen was not unaware of the rumors about Nan Jun and Qiao Yun, but now that he wanted to help Qiao Yun, the child was being rather disappointing!

Qiao Yun raised his hand to touch the veil on his face, and before he could speak, Nan Jun smiled and explained for him.

“The weather has been unpredictable these past two days. My prince has caught a cold and was afraid of infecting me, so he covered himself up.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun quickly coughed lightly to echo Nan Jun’s words.

Seeing Nan Jun protecting Qiao Yun so much, the Queen was somewhat surprised. His eyes darted between Nan Jun and Qiao Yun, but he ultimately didn’t ask any further questions.

Seeing the two’s clothes and demeanor, and the doting look in Nan Jun’s eyes, the Queen no longer worried.

“You young people shouldn’t take your health for granted just because you’re young. Lianqing, now that you’re married, you should think things through more carefully and take good care of your wife.”

Nan Jun could no longer hear what the Empress said afterward; at this moment, only the Empress’s words “Lianqing” remained in her mind.

“Yes.”

Qiao Yun obediently responded, but his eyes seemed to glance at Nan Jun almost imperceptibly.

Seeing her shocked and confused expression, Qiao Yun was secretly pleased. This was the effect he wanted. Once she found out that he was her savior, he would see how she would face him and how she would treat Lian Qing in the manor.

Lian Qing? Lian Qing?

The Empress’s words were clearly directed at Qiao Yun, and Qiao Yun responded in kind.

Qiao Yun is also called Lian Qing? He also knows medicine? It seems An Feng once said that the King and the Lian family’s young master came from the same school…

That daily bowl of soup with a medicinal flavor, that familiar taste and that familiar voice—Nan Jun’s eyes widened, the answer seemed to be on the tip of her tongue, and a surge of guilt almost overwhelmed her.

Although the guards sent to Liujia Village had not yet returned, Nan Jun had already largely accepted her suspicions.

She knew it!

Why did Lianqing’s personality change so drastically after that day? Why couldn’t he prescribe any medicine other than that one when she had a terrible headache? On the contrary, it was his daily bowl of soup that cured her headache.

Everyone toasted and drank, creating a lively atmosphere!

But Nan Jun seemed detached from the situation; at this moment, her eyes and heart were filled with the man beside her.

“My lady, I wish to speak with my father…”

Qiao Yun suddenly stood up and made a request to Nan Jun.

“Huh? Oh… Go ahead!”

Nan Jun nodded helplessly, but dared not look directly at the person.

The Crown Princess and the other princesses pretended to be close to the Emperor. Nan Jun, who was the most favored, was naturally not excluded, and everyone came to offer her a toast.

Nan Jun no longer cared who was offering her the wine; she accepted it from everyone.

The third princess was envious of Nan Jun marrying the Qiao family’s son, and she kept pouring Nan Jun drinks, one cup after another. Even the usually shrewd Nan Jun fell for it.

Qiao Yun, who was whispering something to Qiao Zhengjun, kept his eyes fixed on Nan Jun’s direction. When he saw Nan An constantly pouring wine for Nan Jun, Qiao Yun couldn’t sit still anymore.

“My lady is not yet fully recovered and should not drink alcohol. I beg you princesses and lords to show mercy.”

Qiao Yun stood in front of Nan Jun, stopping Nan An from handing over the wine glass.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Princess quickly pulled everyone away.

The Crown Princess knew her cousin’s temper well; if she angered him, the boy might dare to lay a hand on them in front of the Emperor.

Nan Jun stared blankly at the man blocking her way.

This is the silly boy she hurt!

Even so, he never blamed her in the slightest, and always protected her and thought of her in everything he did.

“Lianqing…”

Nan Zhi murmured, and Qiao Yun stiffened but did not respond.

“My wife is drunk…”

Qiao Yun knew in his heart that Nan Zhi was not calling for Lian Qing, but for him, the real savior of the Eighth Princess.

Qiao Yun, supporting the slightly drunk Nan Jun, instructed Shuang’er to inform the Queen before returning to the Princess’s residence.

Throughout the journey, Nan Jun appeared absent-minded, leaning against Qiao Yun, seemingly lost in thought.

After getting off the carriage, Qiao Yun hurriedly took his leave, and Nan Jun did not try to stop him.

Nan Jun guessed that Qiao Yun must be in a hurry to go back and change his clothes so that he could disguise himself as Yun’er and take care of her again.

“What’s wrong with Master?”

The butler followed behind and asked Anfeng and Anyu, who were standing to the side.

Both women shook their heads. They had no idea what had gotten into their mistress today. Not only had she become unusually affectionate with the king, but she had also defended his reputation in front of everyone, said those things, and then gotten herself into this state of drunkenness.

“Oh dear! How did you get so drunk? This old servant will go and tell someone to make a hangover soup for master. Please take good care of her.”

After saying this, the old butler, dragging her unsteady body, jogged away and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Master, how are you?”

As soon as she entered the room, An Yu poured a cup of cold tea and placed it in front of Nan Jun. Her master’s eyes, which had been misty just moments before, suddenly became clear.
