Chapter 158 Return
Qiao Susu was carried down by Zong Fang. She was wrapped in a man's coat and curled up in his arms. Because he had tormented her so much yesterday, she walked a little unnaturally today.

Luka was not surprised to see this scene. He exchanged a glance with Liberi and saw that his expression was not good. He was about to retract his gaze, but when he saw Carl, the last person who came out, Luka paused.

Carl came up at the end with his hands in his pockets and said hello to Luka: "Looks like I'll be bothering you for a while."

Luka didn't say anything, but immediately looked at Qiao Susu. Seeing that she was stretching out her arms to hug him, he immediately took her from Zongfang's arms.

When Qiao Suisui smelled his scent, she felt relieved. She put her arms around Luka's neck and whispered, "Luka, I miss you so much."

Luka smiled gently, holding her hips with his strong arms like a child, and patted her back with his other hand, saying softly, "I miss you, too."

The guard next to him was standing guard meticulously. Seeing several top males gathered in front of him, his face flushed with excitement. Moreover, he had been on duty in the Imperial Court for so many days, and finally saw a smile on Colonel Scorsese's face. Some time ago, he was as cold as an ice planet. The guard looked at him once, and then looked at him again, thinking that he must go down to gossip with his brothers later.

The lonely imperial court came alive again with the return of the mistress.

Qiao Sui Sui returned to her palace, washed up, and put on a water-green satin dress. The close-fitting cut showed off her figure, and she looked ethereal yet sexy. She remembered that this dress was specially made by Libery, and it was not finished before she left.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she thought that she had been away for a really long time this time. It seemed that except for the time when she was in Sote, she had never been separated from Luka for such a long time.

Returning to a familiar place, she couldn't help but feel relaxed. In addition, she was very careful not to use her mental energy during this pregnancy, so when Isabel suddenly appeared behind her, Qiao Susu was startled.

"How come you came in without making any noise?" She covered her chest and looked at the girl in front of her in surprise.

Isabel cried out, hugged Qiao Suisui and burst into tears, "As soon as that guy Liberi seized power, he sent me away. I was only able to come back recently with the help of Adler's family, but you were not here, wuwuwuwuwu."

Qiao Suisui comforted her, "Okay, I went out for something before, I'm here now, right?"

Once the two girls let down their guard, they quickly became familiar with each other, and even the unfamiliarity from not seeing each other for such a long time disappeared.

Isabel sniffed, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said, "Do you know where my brother is? I can't contact him."

"Lan Ze?" Qiao Suisui suddenly heard him, her expression paused, then she shook her head: "I haven't contacted him for a long time."

"Did you have a fight?"

"No, I guess so."

What she said was ambiguous. I don't know how to describe it. Lan Ze used to be her most important friend, but now...
Isabel saw that she was a little depressed. She patted Qiao Suisui on the shoulder and advised, "I know my brother. He is definitely not a bad person. He has not liked to see people since he was a child, but he knows what I am thinking. I feel that he just doesn't know how to fight for himself. Oh, let's not talk about this for now. Tell me, what happened after the last time?"

The last time she woke up, everything had changed. Liberi had rebelled, Neo had taken control of her, and her spouses saw that the situation was not right and left her in the royal court and ran away. Only Adler stayed with her.

The two girls sat barefoot on the sofa and whispered. Isabel told Qiao Susu about her experience of wandering outside, and Qiao Susu told her about her schooling and building her freedom. Time passed quickly and it was evening.

When Luka came to find her, Isabel still refused to leave.

"I'm going to sleep here tonight. Who dares to stop me?" The situation in front of him suddenly changed. Isabel was carried on Adler's shoulders. Adler smiled apologetically at Qiao Suisui and Luka and said, "Sorry, I'll take my princess away now."

Before leaving, Isabel waved at Qiao Suisui from over the man's shoulder and shouted, "Wait for me tomorrow, I'll take you to some fun places!" After that, she waved and complained to the man, "Adler, your shoulders are too painful. Didn't I tell you not to train so hard?"

As soon as Isabel left, the chattering hall suddenly became quiet. Luka came forward and tidied up her hair that was draped over her back, and said, "Are you hungry? Liberi is hosting a dinner party. Do you want to go?"

In fact, the dinner was specially held to welcome her, but Luka was afraid that she was too tired after just coming back, so he asked her opinion first.

Qiao Suisui nodded happily, holding Luka's hand and walking out together, and asked as they walked, "How do you feel about seeing Isabel again?"

Luka's expression didn't change at all, and he said calmly, "It feels the same as before."

Noticing that Qiao Sui Sui was tilting her head to look at him, waiting for his answer, he slowly uttered a word: "Noisy."

Qiao Suisui suppressed her laughter and asked, "After all, she grew up with you and is the only female around you. Have you really never been tempted?"

Hearing this, Luka stopped, held her, lowered his head and said seriously: "Sui Sui, does my past make you feel uncomfortable?"

In fact, it was he who asked Liberi to send Isabel away. He didn't want Qiao Suisui to have a thorn in her heart. Or rather, it was he who had a thorn in his heart. For the sake of his family and loyalty, he wanted to become the spouse of another female, and even held a ceremony to begin with. Whenever Luka thought of his indecision and helplessness at that time, his mood was very complicated.

Therefore, he ordered the military and his people not to mention that past event again. He could not interfere with Isabel's return, and Libery was far away in the southern battlefield, so he could only wait until he came back to deal with it. He never thought that Isabel would slip into her palace directly.

Luka put his hand on his left shoulder and said seriously: "I have never been attracted to her for a moment. If I lied to you, then I will never get your attention."

Qiao Sui Sui quickly pulled down his sworn hand and said, "I'm just kidding, Luka, I really don't mind your past." She looked up at him with a smile and said, "I just think that you and Isabel have been friends since childhood, so don't treat each other as strangers because of me."

Luka's eyes were full of tender smiles. She didn't understand that apart from her, she didn't need any other "favors", no matter what those favors were.

But Luka did not reject her kindness, but kissed her lips and said "OK".

The dinner was a private banquet, and Zong Fang and Karl were also invited. The banquet was held on the top floor of an ancient castle in the imperial court. It was Qiao Suisui's first time here, and she felt fresh. The interior decoration here can be described as extravagant and licentious, like the gorgeous palace of the Renaissance in the 17th century.

“This place has been left unused for many years and was only recently renovated and completed.”

Libery introduced her to some strange stories and secrets, all of which were gossips in the royal family that should not be allowed to see the light of day. Qiao Susu listened with great interest.

"It is said that the top floor was built by the second sun for his stepmother. At that time, reproduction was not as difficult as it is now. The most noble female was Ms. Daisy. After she married the first sun, she gave birth to a little son and lived a happy life.

But the eldest son, the second sun, fell in love with Lady Daisy and assassinated her youngest son. Then, after his father died, he built a castle for Daisy and imprisoned her there.

Karl heard this and interrupted lazily: “The overbearing emperor falls in love with mom? Is it so exciting?”
