Chapter 2079

Yes, Qingcao was loyal, but she was also smart and friendly.

When she came to a new place, it was very easy for her to get along with other people.

As a matter of fact —

Ever since Ranmil entered the tombs, Qingcao had been trying to make friends with Jun Linyuan’s servants.

She couldn’t get close to Granny Gong, but Baiye, who worked under Granny Gong, had become Qingcao’s friend.

Therefore, Qingcao went to see her.

Baiye sighed and said, “Qingcao, Miss Feng Wu has been staying with His Royal Highness since they came back from the banquet. It’s very hard to get her to come out.”

Qingcao stuffed a stack of silver drafts in Baiye’s hands and smiled. “It’s really urgent. I won’t take up too much of Miss Feng Wu’s time. Please help me.”

After a pause, she added, “I’ll owe you one, even if Miss Feng Wu won’t see me.”

Baiye sighed. “Fine, I’ll ask her for you. But don’t blame me if she won’t come out.”

Qingcao smiled and said, “Of course.”

Therefore, when Baiye brought “Feng Wu” some fruit, she walked up to “her” and said, “Miss Wu, Qingcao has been outside for a while… She wants to see you.”

Needless to say, “Feng Wu” was actually the crown prince.

The crown prince glanced at Baiye.

Baiye felt her stomach freeze. She stumbled back and regretted delivering the message.

Had Feng Wu been around His Royal Highness for too long? Why was the look in her eyes as frightening as the crown prince’s?

Feng Wu was sitting next to Jun Linyuan, and she heard Baiye as well, so she asked curiously, “Who’s Qingcao?”

Huh?

Baiye looked at Feng Wu in confusion.

His Royal Highness had always been cold and aloof. Why would “he” be interested in such a petty thing?

But since His Royal Highness had asked, Baiye had to answer. She lowered her gaze and said gingerly, “Your Royal Highness, Qingcao is Princess Ranmil’s maid.”

“Princess Ranmil?”

Feng Wu was intrigued.

“Has she not given up yet?” Feng Wu murmured. “Is this a final attempt?”

Jun Linyuan glanced at her. “Don’t look for trouble.”

Feng Wu snorted. She wanted to know what Ranmil was up to. Her instincts told her that given what Ranmil was like, this last attempt would be something big.

But Jun Linyuan didn’t seem interested at all, so Feng Wu waved at Baiye. “Leave us.”

Baiye knew that both the “crown prince” and “Miss Feng Wu” were rejecting it.

She quickly left the room.

Qingcao waited anxiously. When she saw Ranmil, who was hiding in a corner, she was even more anxious.

Seeing Baiye coming out, Qingcao quickly walked up to her. “How did it go?”

Baiye patted her chest and threw a dirty look at Qingcao. “What do you think? You almost got me killed!”

Qingcao’s stomach sank. “What?”

Baiye looked around before she led Qingcao to a quiet corner.
