Feng Cang could not help but smile bitterly at Murong Qiqi's' righteous words'. He originally thought that after this interaction, the little princess would approve of him. He did not expect that … he would be defeated one day and be 'chased' off the carriage by Murong Qiqi.
Seeing Murong Qiqi's carriage slowly moving away, Feng Cang heard a chuckle beside him. He looked again and saw that it was Ruyi. His face flushed red. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to do so.
"Laugh, it's not good to hold it in …"
"Hahahaha!"
Without waiting for Feng Cang to finish, Ruyi rubbed her stomach and arched her body. She laughed so hard that tears came out. "Your Highness … Hahaha … Princess is really too cute … Hahaha … If the ladies in North Zhou knew about what happened today … Hahaha … Your Highness's heroic reputation …"
"Are you happy that your Highness was defeated?" Feng Cang smiled and shook his head when he saw the tears at the corner of Ruyi's eyes.
Feng Cang thought of Murong Qiqi's beautiful smile and the faint sense of alienation that she had been exuding since the beginning. "I would like to use my reputation to win a smile from her."
Back at Jade Bamboo Garden, Murong Qiqi dismissed the servants except for Su Yue and Su Mei.
Murong Qiqi did not speak. She only stared at the spinning tea leaves in the teacup. Su Mei and Su Yue were frightened by her silence. They had probably been with the 'humanized' Murong Qiqi for too long that they had forgotten her identity and her methods.
After about ten minutes of silence, Murong Qiqi gently put down the teacup. "Su Mei, Su Yue, return to the Demon Domain. Wu Qing and Tie Xue will serve me …"
Hearing this, the two panicked. They immediately bent their knees and knelt in front of Murong Qiqi. "Miss, we are wrong! Miss, don't chase us back! "
"Why? You don't even listen to me anymore?" Murong Qiqi's voice was soft. Her gaze landed on the two. "Or do you think that I am not as good as godfather, so I can't order you around?"
"Miss, we know we are wrong! We should have done our duty and stopped the Southern Lin King. We are wrong! "
Su Yue and Su Mei kept kowtowing. Both of them knew very well what mistake they had made today. They were Murong Qiqi's closest people, but Feng Cang had been casually let in today. Fortunately, Feng Cang had no ill intentions towards Murong Qiqi. If he had any malicious intentions, Murong Qiqi would be at a disadvantage even if she was a martial arts expert.
The two of them knocked their heads on the floor, but Murong Qiqi remained unmoved.
Perhaps it had something to do with her experiences in her previous life, Murong Qiqi still slept 60% of the time. It was only when she had Su Mei and Su Yue by her side who were loyal and devoted to her that she could finally relax and sleep peacefully.
However, this time around, the two of them had actually allowed Feng Cang to enter. It would appear that she would return to her previous state.
It was rare for her to trust people again. She had placed her entire family's life in the hands of these two people. But was a person's heart really trustworthy? In her previous life, the person she trusted so much had given her a fatal blow. She could still feel the pain of a bullet piercing through her heart …
Su Mei and Su Yue's heart ached when they saw Murong Qiqi's gaze turning misty.
That year, when the Demon Deity brought Murong Qiqi back to the Demon Domain, she had the same expression. Even though she was right in front of them, she felt that she was so far away, as if she would disappear the moment they touched her.
"Miss, please give us another chance to correct our mistakes! Please give this subordinate another chance! "
Gradually, the skin on their foreheads was torn, and thin streaks of blood seeped out. How could they have forgotten that as her bodyguards, they were Murong Qiqi's eyes and ears, her last line of defense! Their only master was Murong Qiqi!
"Miss, please give us another chance! One last time! We will not disappoint you again! "
What happened today would definitely destroy the trust that Murong Qiqi had built up in them with great difficulty. After all, it was something that they had worked together to build up for five years! How could they have lost their miss's trust in a moment of carelessness!
After another ten minutes, Murong Qiqi stood up and threw a porcelain bottle in front of Su Mei and Su Yue.
"Just this once, the last time!"
"Yes! Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss! " To be able to stay by Murong Qiqi's side, Su Mei and Su Yue almost cried out in joy. They quickly stood up and stood behind Murong Qiqi respectfully.
"Apply the medicine first. It would be bad if your face is ruined. It's better for girls to be beautiful! "
"Yes! Yes! "
Su Mei and Su Yue applied the ointment on each other. Murong Qiqi looked at the two people beside her who were beaming with joy and smiled.
Since life was a gamble, let her gamble one more time! Be willful one more time! Trust the human heart one more time! If she was wrong, she would just lose another life. However, she did not know if she would have the chance to be reborn the next time …
That night, news came from the palace. The truth had been revealed. The culprit was Murong Xinlian. She directed and acted herself, creating a scene of miscarriage, killing three birds with one stone. Not only did she cause the Empress and Imperial Noble Consort to lose their prince, but she also killed Princess Ping Yang.
"Miss, was it really done by Second Miss? Why do I feel that there is something fishy going on? " After applying the medicine, Su Yue's forehead was no longer swollen. Although there were still some blood clots, with Murong Qiqi's medicine, it would be fine in two to three days.
"Her?" Murong Qiqi laughed lightly, "She is just a pitiful scapegoat — —"
"Then who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Su Mei frowned, "Although Miss provoked the conflict between Second Miss and the princess, the other things are a bit unexpected!"
"Ah … the one who benefits the most and laughs in the end is the real culprit!" Murong Qiqi's eyes looked across the dark night and looked in the direction of Imperial Prince Jing's Estate.
In the dungeon, Murong Xinlian knocked on the cell door with a pale face, "Let me out! I am Prince Jing's concubine! Let me out, I am innocent! "
"What are you shouting for? Can't you let people sleep in the middle of the night?" The jailer walked over and raised his whip, "If you don't behave, I will beat you to death!"
