The man’s laughter rang even more pleasantly.
The two chased one after the other out of the royal residence.
In the courtyard, Fu Yuzheng, who was standing behind the garden, slowly withdrew her eyes and led the servants to clean up the dining table. Never in her dreams did she expect to see this scene.
She had never seen the man smile that genuinely.
He really liked that woman very much.
“She’s merely an insignificant peasant from the country. I wonder what kind of fox charm she used to bewitch the King.” A servant beside her scoffed softly. “Miss Fu, you have been with His Royal Highness for so many years and have served him with great dedication. Are you really going to let that tempress make mischief?”
“If you think things in the King’s palace are too easy, I can transfer you to another village in the suburbs later.” With a cold glance at the servant, Fu Yuzheng turned and left.
Several servants stood in place in silence.
After Fu Yuzheng drifted far away, the servant who spoke earlier spat, “What are you pretending to be? You think you’re so noble, but in the end you’re just like us, a servant!”
“Be careful, lest you be heard!”
Only then did the people disperse.
Fu Yuzheng lightly bumped the front of the door of her own residence. She entered the room, closed the door, sat down in front of the window, and slowly unclenched her palm.
Inside, there was an extremely small folded note.
Without opening it, she guessed what was written inside.
A woman stayed in the residence of the King of Nanling and had an intimate relationship with King Nanling, Feng Qingbai – this matter has spread throughout the capital overnight.
There was no way that the one in the palace failed to catch wind of it.
She opened the note and read it. Afterward, she lit it and burned it. Fu Yuzheng looked out the window – the sun was blazing.
That warm temperature, however, could not dispel the cold that lingered around her.
Pawns had an established destiny.
She wanted to resist, but unfortunately, she wasn’t that capable enough.
There was an abyss in front and a cliff behind – regardless if she took one step forward or back.
She’d be pulverized.
In the carriage traveling to the outskirts of the capital, Liu Yusheng was still messing with the man’s black satin shoes, stepping on them one by one.
As if printing.
“Shengsheng, are you still not satisfied stepping on them?” The man helplessly caressed his forehead, but his feet did not avoid the girl and let her vent.
“Isn’t there something to do? Aren’t I going to be ordained? Why are you taking me out of town?!”
“I told you last night that I’ll accompany you today. How can I break my word. You can be ordained anytime; there’s no rush.”
“Aren’t you afraid of rumors if you just take me out of town like this?”
“The word has spread long ago.” The man lowly laughed. “Forty percent of the people in the royal residence are spies that others planted.”
He could not hide this matter from the moment she crossed into the royal residence.
“It spread so quickly?” Liu Yusheng frowned. “When we return later, I’ll have to ask Xue Qinglian for more pills and carry them. The results of his research aren’t bad. Even with so little powder under your nail cracks can bring down a good number of people. I’ll have you and Xiao Feng carry them.”
Xue Qinglian’s poisons were clinically proven, and the several groups of robbers on the road have experienced them firsthand.
Feng Qingbai was between laughter and tears. “Shengsheng, you are by my side, I will not let anything happen to you.”
In the past, he dared not utter this. But now, since he said it, he must be capable of it.
“I know, but there is no harm in being prepared.” Raising the corners of her lips, the girl smiled playfully.
She could protect herself, but he just refused to believe it.
“All right, then you should be prepared.” It wouldn’t hurt if it could make her feel more at ease.
