âI am your ancestor!â
âYou...â Fu Yuâs face turned hostile and his eyes looked fierce. âIn that case, all of you donât even think about leaving this place today. Young man, you have betrayed my daughter, so you must pay for it!â
Fu Qingjiu panicked and shouted out anxiously, âFather!â
âQingjiu, there is no need to say anything more for him. This young man has mistreated you, so why do you still want to keep him with you?â
âFather, donât hurt him! Please, donât hurt him!â Tears flowed from Fu Qingjiuâs eyes as she turned to Nan Xian with a pitiful expression. âI donât believe you would be so heartless. I have saved you. Donât you know that you have even called my name in your dreams? How could you be so heartless...â
Qing Zhuâs green-colored face had turned greener once it heard Fu Qingjiuâs words.
How could his master be taken away?
That was because it had failed to do its job. It did not protect its master well after he had passed out.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If it had caused a misunderstanding between the master and the princess... Then they would surely turn into a bowl of snake soup on the dinner table.
âYouâre talking nonsense! When did the master call your name? Donât get ahead of yourself!â
Fu Qingjiuâs face shifted a little. She glanced at Xiao Ying, a palace servant who was standing behind the guards, expressionless.
Xiao Ying quickly understood as she gritted her teeth and stood out. âYour Majesty, this servant can prove it. When this young man was unconscious, he was always murmuring the princessâs name like âQingâerâ and âJiuâerâ in his sleep. He surely has feelings for the princess. He had just woken up now, so his mind is still fuzzy. Your Majesty, I beg for your mercy.â
Fu Qingjiu breathed a slow sigh of relief.
She did not want him to die in her fatherâs hands, regardless of what this young man had done to her.
Her father would kill him if she did not let Xiao Ying speak out.
âSilly!â Xiao Qing sneered disdainfully. âMy princessâs name is Feng Ruqing, so âQingâerâ is obviously my princess.â
Xiao Ying lifted her head cautiously and saw Fu Qingjiu was looking at her. She mustered up her courage and said, âThen he even called out for Jiuâer.â
Qing Zhu froze.
Those people around them had a sardonic look on their faces.
âSo that was the case...â
âThis young man seems like an immortal, but he could do something like scheming the princess.â
âHe has called the princessâs name in his sleep, but he still wants to deny it...â
âBrother Fu Chen, these people are so foolish.â Little Qing Han pouted and hummed. âJiuâer is clearly Mother. People who are unfamiliar with Mother would address her as the Ninth Emperor and those who love Mother would call her âJiuâerâ. Who else has Father called for if not our mother?â
Feng Ruqing turned and looked at Little Qing Han, speechless.
At this time, she could only agree with whatever her daughter had said as she did not want Qing Han to lose her face in front of these people.
Little Qing Han laughed. She pounced onto Feng Ruqingâs arms, she sniffed hard and said, âMother smells so good and Qing Han loves it. Just now, Brother Fu Chen said that Mother and Father are making a baby. Is it true that I will have a sister soon? Although Mother has adopted me, I will still protect my sister well.â
Feng Ruqing let out a sigh.
âQing Han has grown up and she even knows about the adoption...â
âFu Chen, take Qing Han to play somewhere else first and weâll settle this matter here.â Feng Ruqing patted Little Qing Hanâs head and pushed her to Fu Chen.
This little girl was too clingy and there was nothing she could do about it.
