before she married into the prince’s residence, she thought that no matter what, she was still a secondary consort of the royal family. her status was not something ordinary people could compare to.

however, after entering the residence, she realized how humble the life of a secondary consort was.

the eldest princess consort was from a famous family. she looked gentle and virtuous to the outside world, but when she closed the door, she looked completely different.

before dawn, she had to abide by the rules set by the eldest princess consort. if she was not careful, she would be taught a lesson by the nanny beside the eldest princess consort.

the nanny was bestowed by empress on consort yu’s request, representing the empress’s face and authority. qin yanran could not hit or scold her; she could only endure it.

however, this was not the most aggrieved experience.

during this period of time, she had been cultivating in the house and seemed to have gradually let go. she felt that the so-called fight was actually meaningless. she was living her own carefree life. why should she compare herself to others?

however, when she saw that girl, she realized that some things had long taken root in her heart.

the calmness she had maintained for many days instantly disappeared. she was jealous of her. she was so jealous that she went crazy. it was as if ten thousand ants were constantly biting her heart!

once the emotions that had been suppressed for many days were ignited, it was like boiling oil that could not be stopped.

“xu qing!”

xu qing, who was driving, asked, “miss, what’s the matter?”

qin yanran was qin jiang’s only legitimate daughter. he was from qin jiang, so he naturally called her eldest miss.

it was not necessarily the case in the protectorate. qin canglan’s precious granddaughter was the legitimate eldest miss.

qin yanran listened to the sound of hooves and wheels rolling. she said in a low voice, “kill her.”

her voice was very sort, dut now gooa was xu qing•s nearmgc

“miss, who should i kill?” xu qing asked.

daya!”

xu qing frowned and wrapped his wrist around the reins, slightly filling the speed of the carriage.

“miss, please think twice.” qin yanran said coldly, “think twice? do you not dare to kill her?”

“no,” xu qing said.

qin yanran tightened her grip on her handkerchief. “then are you refusing to listen to my orders? my father didn’t send you to protect me to disobey my orders.”

xu qing hesitated for a moment and said earnestly, “miss, you have to stay in your own lane and mind your own business. there’s no need to go against her.”

xu qing’s words came from the bottom of his heart, but once a person was blinded by jealousy, they could no longer think rationally.

“to stay in my own lane and mind my own business? did she snatch my identity?”

“that was originally hers…”

“enough! you don’t have to remind me! i know she’s my grandfather’s biological granddaughter!”

your uncle… xu qing said in his heart.

“didn’t you tell me back then that i had to work hard to fight for myself? why are you saying something else now?”

xu qing hesitated for a moment and said with a complicated expression, “miss,

i’m doing this for your own good.”

“enough! these words make my ears go numb! if you don’t dare to kill her, i’ll go! i’ll kill her!”

qin yanran finished speaking excitedly. ignoring the fact that the carriage was on the move, she grabbed the spare bow and arrow in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and walked out.

xu qing hurriedly grabbed her wrist to stop her from jumping down. “wait!” he slowly let go of her wrist, his palm still warm from her. “okay, i’ll go.”

it was common knowledge that qin canglan was recuperating in the imperial astronomy center.

xu qing stopped the carriage on the path that led from the palace to the imperial astronomy center and waited.

about 15 minutes later, su xiaoxiao’s carriage slowly drove over.

xu qing covered his face with a cloth pulled out his sword, and rushed towards the carriage.

he slashed at the coachman!

su xiaoxiao, who was sleeping in the carriage, felt a murderous aura. she suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the curtain, and kicked xu qing’s wrist!

the longsword that should have landed on the coachman was forcefully blocked.

the coachman broke out in a cold sweat!

su xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage.

the location xu qing chose was very particular. it was a must-pass and a quiet place. almost no one passed by here. this meant that su xiaoxiao would not be able to get anywhere.

xu qing was not afraid that the coachman would report it to the officials because he would have already dealt with him before the officials arrived.

the horse was frightened and sped forward uncontrollably. the coachman tried to control the carriage, but it was useless.

“miss…”

su xiaoxiao didn’t panic at all.

she looked at the masked man calmly and said calmly, “stop lying. i know it’s you, xu qing.”

xu qing narrowed his eyes.

“qin yanran sent you?”

at the entrance of the palace, she could feel qin yanran’s resentful gaze from afar.

jealousy made people crazy and ugly at the same time.

she originally didn’t have any thoughts about qin yanran, but qin yanran kept coming over to prance around in front of her. she was a little annoyed. a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes. “just use the saber.”

su mo had said that xu qing was really a saber artist. the long sword was just his cover.

xu qing didn’t take su xiaoxiao seriously and slashed at her.

su xiaoxiao took out the dagger at her waist and met his blade without dodging.

with a crack, his sword was slashed into two!

xu qing looked at su xiaoxiao’s dagger in disbelief.

this was lord wu an’s weapon!

su xiaoxiao said, “i told you to use a saber.”

xu qing threw away the broken sword in his hand.

although he did not use his full strength in that move just now, it was not difficult for him to sense the other party’s strength.

his fingertips went numb.

he took out the saber at his waist and slashed at su xiaoxiao again.

“you’re the first woman to force me to attack.” however, su xiaoxiao endured this move.

su xiaoxiao blocked the second move.

“you’re indeed a little troublesome,” xu qing said. “i’m going to get serious. i’ll give you a quick death and not torture you.”

su xiaoxiao said calmly, “the wind is too strong. be careful not to bite your tongue.”

the two of them fought in the alley.

su xiaoxiao clearly felt that her speed and strength had increased again. it was unknown if it was the result of the training or if the tonic in the pharmacy had been effective.

the more xu qing fought, the more surprised he became.

it had been ten moves.

he had actually not killed this girl!

in the carriage, qin yanran saw that there was no outcome after fighting for a long time. she gritted her teeth, took out her bow, and mercilessly shot at su xiaoxiao’s back!

xu qing frowned.

su xiaoxiao’s ears twitched as she kicked xu qing’s chest. her other foot landed on the wall beside her and she used the momentum to jump up. she flew in the air, grabbed the arrow, and threw it at the carriage!

at the same time, xu qing finally seized the best opportunity to assassinate.

he stabbed su xiaoxiao in the chest.

no sooner said than done, a dart tore through the air and bounced off his treasure saber!

“ah!”

qin yanran’s cry of pain came from the carriage.

xu qing looked in the direction where the dart had come from. it was empty. he looked at his saber.

there was actually a small hole on it.

what kind of strength was this?

another dart was shot, but this time, it was not at him, but at qin yanran in the carriage.

his expression changed as he flew over and blocked the dart with his saber. then, he did not stay any longer. he grabbed the reins and rode away.

su xiaoxiao didn’t chase after xu qing.

this was because she had discovered the swallowtail dart on the ground.

it was the expert who had secretly helped her.

“who are you?” she asked.

the other party didn’t answer and turned to leave.

su xiaoxiao took a step forward and grabbed his shoulder.

he subconsciously wanted to use his internal energy to push su xiaoxiao away, but he didn’t seem to want to hurt her.

at this moment, su xiaoxiao took off his bamboo hat..
