ENDING

CHAPTER 301 - UNIQUE DISCOVERY

Gu Xiao looked around and cleared his throat.

Prince's Wife, we haven't found Jing yet, so there's no hurry regarding me and the princess. We can talk about this after you find Jing.

And it was as such, as she lightly sighed in her heart, the gaze Feng Xiwu looked at him with was one of disappointment.

Gu Xiao could be considered someone who had stayed in the palace for a period of time. He was clearer than her about the situation in the palace, and he should be more clear than her about how dangerous Qu Xue'er was right now.

Even at this time, he still did not give an answer.

Qu Xue'er was afraid that she had truly seen the wrong person.

She's here, she's here. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The man's voice sounded from outside the house. Feng Xiwu restrained her expression and everyone gathered together. The atmosphere in the house became lighter.

Several dishes and bowls of rice were quickly placed on the table. The man wiped his hands with a smile.

The place is remote, and we only have coarse tea and light rice. I hope you don't mind.

Gu Xiao picked up the dish and put it in his mouth, Of course not, the taste is very good, call grandma over to eat with us, we didn't eat dinner.

Unexpectedly, the man quickly waved his hand, No need, my mother is not feeling well, so I won't be with you. I still need to take care of my mother, so I'll be leaving first. Please enjoy.

With that, she ignored the second half of what Gu Xiao did not have the time to say, and quickly turned and left the room.

Strange, didn't they just say that Princess Hua-Yang looked like her dead daughter? Why isn't she eating anymore? Zi Lan muttered to herself as she watched the figure leave.

Feng Xiwu was also suspicious, and looked at the man with a probing gaze.

When the old woman looked at her, she seemed as excited as if she had seen an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time. Why was she unwilling to come out now?

Could it be related to this man?

Feng Xiwu secretly frowned, she did not say anything, although she felt it was weird, but they were just borrowing a night, if they were to leave tomorrow morning, it would be better for them to not interfere in this matter.

As the night fell, other than the sleeping Zi Lan and Feng Xiwu, the rest of the people in the room had their eyes closed and were meditating.

Only Gu Xiao tilted his body from time to time, trying his best to drive away his drowsiness.

Ai, if he had known, he would have asked for two rooms. Why did he need to torture me with such a cheap mouth? Although he knew how to work, he still needed to sleep.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people around him. Black Wolf and the adonis seemed to have fallen asleep.

Even sitting down allowed him to fall asleep, the ancients were truly amazing. Quietly stretching his numb legs, Gu Xiao struggled to pull himself back into his sitting position with great difficulty.

Forget it, it would be better to just lie down on the table to sleep than sit on the floor like this for the whole night.

He got up and sat on the stool. Just as he was about to lie down and get ready for a good night's sleep, he heard the sound of footsteps outside.

Furthermore, the sound of the footsteps seemed to be extremely orderly. It should be a trained person.

Ye Zichen quickly got up and walked towards the window with his back bent, then peeked out to see what was going on outside. He saw that the man was talking to the two people beside him in the evening.

The two of them were holding long sword s in their hands, and they were wearing bamboo hats, but because their backs were to the moonlight, Gu Xiao could not see their appearances clearly.

However, it was obvious that he knew martial arts.

Hey, big wood, wake up, there's danger. With his back bent, Gu Xiao walked to Black Wolf's side and pulled his sleeves.

Black Wolf was cultivating with all his might and was always on alert. Once he heard Gu Xiao's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and followed the direction Gu Xiao pointed to and saw the scene outside the window.

Hurry, wake up the wangfei and the rest and quickly leave this place.

Gu Xiao nodded, then called for Feng Xiwu and Zi Lan who had already stepped into their dreams, and hazily stood up. Zi Lan quickly helped Feng Xiwu to put on her shoes, and quickly covered her with her cape.

Black Wolf who was by the window was still observing the situation outside. The man seemed to be saying something, but the two did not seem to have any intention of entering.

Forget it, it didn't matter if he did or not. He couldn't reveal the location of the wangfei.

Bringing Feng Xiwu and the others, they left through a window at the back of the house. The few people in the darkness carefully jogged to the place where the horses were waiting.

The mouth that had been bent over and kept opening and closing under the moonlight finally shut, bringing the two people into the room.

Sir, look, I'll just say that I didn't lie to you all, right?

The door opened wide, and aside from a flickering candle flame on the table, there was no shadow of a woman that could topple cities or overthrow cities.

One of the soldiers slapped him, Fuck, how dare you lie to us!

The weak looking man was knocked to the ground. He turned around to look at the room, but there was no trace of those people.

As if the slap still hadn't quelled his anger, the soldier directly kicked him a few times. Just as he was kicking and hitting the man again, another soldier bent over and picked up a golden hairpin from the ground.

Feng Chai?!

Both of their eyes widened at once. Damn it, the wangfei had really come looking for them! And he found this place!

Tell me, other than that devastatingly beautiful woman, who else is by her side and what other woman's clothing do you think she's wearing? Do you think she's fat or skinny?! Tell me everything clearly! "

The man on the ground was beaten half to death, yet the soldier was so impatient.

Stop talking nonsense, if you don't say it now, do you believe that I'll just chop you up?! After saying that, the officer pulled out his sword and made a murderous gesture. He looked like a fiend.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. When the man saw his actions, he hurriedly opened his mouth.

I'll talk, I'll talk, there's a woman and three men by her side. Other than these, I don't know anything else. The person who was lying on the ground was breathing heavily, and his expression did not look good.

The two officers and soldiers looked at each other. Three men?

Other than Dark Guard, and Godly Doctor Gu, there was another man standing by Princess Hua-Yang's side?!

Go back quickly, report this to your highness!

With that, the two of them turned around and ran away at a completely different speed from when they first arrived.

This was bad. Ever since the prince received news of the princess' departure from the manor a few days ago, he had sent them to guard the various relay stations and crossroads.

Now that he realized that the princess had already reached the border and that there was a man by her side for no reason, if the prince knew about this, wouldn't he skin them alive?!

Recalling the outcome when the prince was infuriated, the two of them couldn't help but feel fear.

However, this was the only discovery related to the princess. Furthermore, the prince had given her a phoenix hairpin, so he had to inform the prince as soon as possible. Otherwise, the princess would arrive at that place.

With the wind blowing beneath their feet, the two of them rushed back to the army camp at the fastest speed possible.

In a brightly lit tent, Qu Jingxi was standing in front of a map and deep in thought.

The two looked at each other, then somewhat timidly entered the tent to kneel down and pay their respects. Your Highness.

En, what's the matter? His gaze did not leave the drawing, but Qu Jingxi did not even glance at them.

CHAPTER 302 - ONE MORE THING

Swallowing his saliva, the soldier slowly took out a phoenix hairpin from his sleeve.

We've already found the whereabouts of the princess, but we went too late and only found this hairpin.

Hearing the word wangfei, Qu Jingxi turned and looked at him: What did you say?! Then where is the wangfei now?!"

As his gaze stopped on the phoenix hairpin in his hand, Qu Jingxi hurriedly stepped forward to inspect it. Indeed, this was the phoenix hairpin that he had gifted to Feng Xiwu.

Previously when he was making the phoenix chaise, he had specially ordered the craftsman to carve the words Wu under the ornament on the hairpin.

Wangfei, wangfei … The kneeling person stammered, not daring to continue.

Because of the excitement, Qu Jingxi tightly gripped his fingers under his sleeves and strove to keep himself calm. After searching for so many days, he finally found her whereabouts.

Go on!

Princess has almost reached the border. If you ride your horse here, you'll reach us in less than two days. In one breath, the soldier who finished speaking trembled, not daring to look at Qu Jingxi's reaction.

Other than that, we have another discovery. The soldier paused for a moment before another took over.

His heart which had just been tensed up was still tensed, but was once again tensed up. Qu Jingxi's hand which was holding the hairpin trembled slightly, What discovery? Speak!

According to the person who informed the news, besides the personal servant girl, there are three other men at the princess' side. We infer that the three men are the Dark Guard and the Godly Doctor Gu by the princess' side. As for the other man, we do not know.

There was another man? His clenched fist tightened slightly once again.

Sensing the change in the aura around the prince, the two soldiers didn't even dare to make a sound.

They all knew how much the prince dotes on the wangfei. Did the wangfei not find a love rival for the wangfei …

After a long while, the Prince Jing didn't make any sound while holding the phoenix hairpin. When both of them were extremely nervous, the prince's voice finally came from above.

This King knows. Go down.

His tone was very light, without any emotion.

The two people who were kneeling looked at each other in surprise. They hurriedly got up and lowered their heads, preparing to leave. However, the voice of Jing King once again rang out behind them. Wait"

Stop, the two of them froze on the spot and slowly turned around. Does Your Highness have any other orders? "

The matter of finding out about the wangfei tonight must not be leaked out. If this duke finds out that you guys dare to say anything, I won't let you guys off.

The slightly heavy tone carried a bit of hostility, but also a bit of threat.

These people were soldiers who had followed Qu Jingxi to death. Naturally, Qu Jingxi would not casually hurt them, but news of Feng Xiwu must not be made known to anyone else.

Yes, Your Highness, don't worry. The two soldiers hurriedly complied.

They were well aware of the weight of the wangfei in the prince's heart, so they naturally cared about her as well. They were well aware of this fact.

Alright, let's go down. If anyone asks, just tell them that you don't know.

Qu Jingxi turned his back and did not speak anymore, the two of them looked at each other and immediately retreated.

It seemed that as long as it was something related to the princess, the prince would talk a lot. In the past, when the prince gave them an order, she could never use a single word.

It would not be excessive to use the word 'cherished' to describe it.

Inside the quiet tent, Qu Jingxi stood alone with his hands behind his back, quietly staring at the candle flame on the table. No one knew what his deep eyes were thinking about.

He held the hairpin in his hand and looked at it again and again. Finally, his gaze fell on the hairpin in his hand.

He walked up to the table and removed the drawing on the top of the paper with his slender fingers. Underneath the drawing was a picture of a woman.

The girl in the painting was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, but a hand appeared out of nowhere to lift the red veil on her head.

Under the red gauze, the golden phoenix crown illuminated her face. She had a smile on her face. She looked shy, yet also a bit happy.

If one were a bit more careful, they would be able to see a pair of mandarin ducks and the surrounding auspicious clouds embroidered on the skirt.

Qu Jingxi carefully looked at the people on the painting, his stern face finally revealed a hint of gentleness, it was completely unlike the Shura who was dancing with swords and swinging with spears on the battlefield.

As long as he knew that she was fine, he would be at ease. As for the other matters, he would handle them.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air all this time, finally calmed down at this moment. His fingertips brushed against the girl's face, as if time had finally turned gentle with him at this moment.

There was one more thing. Once that matter was resolved, he would be able to go and find her without any qualms.

The cold wind was constantly blowing in the valley, as if it was speaking up for them. In the dark night, only the moonlight still stayed up late into the night.

On the path between the trees, a few people slowly advanced under the moonlight.

Worried that they would provoke a wild beast at night, Black Wolf and the others were careful. Feng Xiwu yawned lazily and looked up to find that there were only a few stars blinking.

Perhaps the night was too dangerous, after walking for some time, the black wolf still did not find a safe place for them to rest.

There were rustling sounds in the grass, and his body's instinct made him alert. Everyone stopped at his pace, and the black wolf stared at the shaking leaves in front of it.

Suddenly, a pair of bright eyes appeared, looking somewhat terrifying under the night sky, the black wolf tightly gripped the long sword in its hands, its body in a tensed state.

A white figure jumped out, the little fox licked its claws, innocently looking at the group of them who were holding their breath.

Letting out a breath, Black Wolf put the long sword back into its scabbard. However, he felt strange in his heart, Could it be that this fox had been following them the entire way? He had a nagging feeling that this fox always appeared at the right time.

The eyes that looked at it were a little inquisitive.

If that was the case, then what was this fox trying to do?

Although the innocent Lin Xi could feel the change in Black Wolf's expression, she couldn't care less right now. She cried out a few times towards them, then turned around and continued walking.

What is this? The black wolf was puzzled by its actions.

Sigh, wood is just wood. Big wood, this little fox means for us to follow it, understand? Gu Xiao stepped forward and laughed.

Presumably, Lin Xi had found a place to stay for the night, if not she would not show herself so late at night.

The fox cried out once again, as if it was replying to Gu Xiao's words. The fox then ran in a certain direction, and Gu Xiao immediately spurred his horse to chase after her.

Moments later, they arrived in front of a cave.

Outside of the cave was a waist-high blade of grass. It was not easy to find. The long sword pushed aside the layer of weeds outside, but Gu Xiao, who was about to go in, was stopped by the black wolf.

Don't go in first. It's from the wilderness. Who knows where this beast has brought us. Black Wolf looked at the little fox that was staring at him, his eyes seemed to have a spiritual will to understand what he was saying.

With a snort, the little white body turned away from him.

The place that I have spent so much effort to find has been suspected by you. This fellow is simply too much.

A hand suddenly appeared above her head as she caressed it, raising her head to look at Feng Xiwu who was smiling faintly, her beautiful face causing her to be slightly absentminded.

CHAPTER 303 - GOLDEN HAIRPIN LOSS

She was truly worthy of being called a beauty. She felt that the older she grew, the more enchanting she became. Even a girl like her would sometimes lose her cool when watching her grow up.

Such a clever fox, it must have only brought us here after investigating. Black Wolf, you're suspecting it to such an extent, it should be angry now.

Feng Xiwu chuckled, amused by its expression.

If not for the white fur covering her face, she would have been able to see Lin Xi's slightly flushed face.

Black Wolf paused, unable to utter a word. He really had no way to deal with a young lady like her.

Alright, let's go. Let's go in and see if we can stay here for the night. Gu Xiao said as he entered the cave, followed by a few other people.

The scene in the cave was completely out of their expectations. Aside from the clean stone bed at the side, there was also a small plate of fruit piled up in the cave with a burning firewood beside it.

This is not right …

Gu Xiao sized up the cleaned up cave, why did he feel like this little girl had brought them to someone's home?

No one would live here, would they?

When the others saw the situation in the cave, they were also stunned.

Is there anyone living here? Feng Xiwu carefully looked around, it was as if she had just been tidied up by someone.

Gu Xiao who understood everything sighed slightly.

Idiot, you are a fox, don't you know that you are a four-legged creature?

Who cares about him, Gu Xiao said as he went forward and picked up a firewood, took out a paper roll, and lit a small ball of fire, There's no one here anyways, so it's fine if we stay for the night.

The fire in his hands gradually grew stronger, illuminating Gu Xiao's somewhat serious face.

Feng Xiwu looked around and felt that something was wrong. As she was thinking, the little fox actually used its two front paws to hold onto a fruit and slowly walked in front of her.

Gu Xiao, who had lit a fire and was sitting down to chew on the fruits, watched the scene in shock. He even forgot to chew on the fruit and meat in his mouth.

She thought she could walk on her hind legs while performing a show. How did this guy learn it? Wasn't this fox a little too heaven defying?!

Whatever, this guy has already become a fox demon, why should he be surprised about this?

Feng Xiwu squatted down in surprise and took the fruits. She couldn't believe it, so the little fox meant to tell her that she had taken care of all of these?

Feng Xiwu gently caressed her furry head and caressed her back with a smile.

In that case, let's stay here for the night. We still need to hurry on our way tomorrow morning anyway. Staying here for a night won't affect us much.

The fox under Gu Xiao stretched lazily and walked to the bonfire that Gu Xiao had built. It laid down with its eyes closed, as if it wanted to rest.

It was a completely human-like action, causing Feng Xiwu to be slightly surprised, but then she chuckled. Everything had intelligence, this fox must have accidentally eaten more, right?

It's getting late, you should all rest early. As for this fox, Feng Xiwu said indifferently, She won't hurt us, so you don't have to be too vigilant, Black Wolf.

With sharp eyes looking at the small pile of white fluff next to the fire, Lin Xi breathed in lightly and fell asleep as if she didn't know it.

Princess, you should rest early. We'll stay here for the rest of the night.

The quiet moonlight outside the cave fell, shining down onto the ground. The scenery in the dark night brought with it an indescribable sense of beauty. Feng Xiwu nodded and did not say a word.

Zi Lan spread out the straw bed and carefully laid out his own cape. After taking off the cape for Feng Xiwu, she waited on her to sleep.

The man and the beast beside the firelight were fast asleep. Zi Lan had just randomly packed his stuff while escaping, and his hand that was holding onto his things suddenly stopped.

'This is bad, where's the hairpin that the prince gave to the imperial concubine? '

Inside the small jewelry box, there were only a few simple hairpins. The only thing missing was the previous golden hairpin.

Flipping through all the clothes in the bag, Zi Lan still did not see the phoenix hairpin.

Could it be that he had just landed in that room?

Her heart slightly jumped, Zi Lan was a little flustered. That was the first time the Duke had given that gift to her, if she were to lose it like this, the Princess would definitely feel very sad.

Not giving up, Zi Lan carefully searched through the corners of every single piece of clothing within the bundle, but she still could not find the phoenix hairpin.

Glancing at the sleeping person, Zi Lan lightly sighed, then went forward and tucked herself in. She could only hide it for as long as she could.

She could only hope that the wangfei wouldn't be too sad by then.

After packing her things, it was already the latter half of the night. Relying on the light of the fire, which was much smaller to warm her body, Zi Lan leaned on the stone bed and dozed off.

The sleeping figure by the side slowly opened his bright eyes and walked towards the stone bed. Just as his long fingers were about to touch the delicate face, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Raising his head to look at the deep eyes of the black wolf, Huang Quan's face flashed with astonishment.

Didn't you fall asleep? How could that be? Almost subconsciously, Huang Quan blurted out the question in his mind.

Looking at Feng Xiwu who was still sleeping soundly, the black wolf slightly twisted its palm and directly threw a palm attack towards him.

The completely defenseless Huang Quan was directly pushed back several steps by this palm and instantly distanced himself from the stone bed. The black wolf was standing in the middle, seemingly warning him of something with its eyes.

The cave was quiet enough to hear the sound of breathing. In the darkness, the eyes of the black wolf that carried the glint of sharpness seemed to be like that of a wolf's, filled with fierceness and warning.

Huang Quan who was pushed back a few steps and faced him head on, the air in the middle seemed to gradually freeze along with them. After a long while, Huang Quan finally smiled and patted his sleeves.

He bowed towards Black Wolf as if he was apologizing, then turned around and sat down cross-legged to the side.

Black Wolf turned and looked at the Feng Xiwu who was safe and sound behind him, her heart that was still hanging in the air slowly calmed down. If not for his careless turn earlier, this fellow would have sullied the young mistress.

Looking at the white clothed person's eyes, it became even more cautious. Black Wolf no longer went to the entrance of the cave and directly sat not too far away from Zi Lan.

If something really did happen, at least he and Zi Lan could guarantee the safety of Princess Hua-Yang at the first possible moment.

Closing his eyes lightly, Black Wolf began to adjust his internal energy. He could clearly feel that the medicinal powder within his body was already stirring. This guy dared to drug him. It was best not to fall into his hands in the future.

Huang Quan, who was not far from him, slightly narrowed his eyes. Weird, he had clearly drugged that person just now, how could he be completely fine?

He regretted it a little in his heart. All the good feelings he had built up with great difficulty in the past few days had probably shattered in his heart.

If this happened, he would only be even more wary of her. How could he have been infected by the magic medicine just now? Now it would be even more difficult to bring her back.

In the darkness, Feng Xiwu's sleeping face was rosy and tender. Anyone who looked at her would insist on taking her away.

She had just forgotten about it for a moment. In the future, when the two of them had been together for a long time, she would definitely remember him.

Based on their current speed, they would reach Qu Jingxi's location in less than two days. They did not know how the situation was progressing over there.

As he thought about what had happened on the other side, his heart began to grow impatient, but he quickly suppressed it.

No matter what, taking Feng Xiwu away was the most important thing. Once things here were finished, she would have no qualms about taking action against them.

CHAPTER 304 - YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE ME FACE

The sky lit up with an ash-gray color, like the skin of a fish belly. Early in the morning, Gu Xiao volunteered to leave the cave to find food for everyone.

In the meantime, with the excuse of worrying that Feng Xiwu might be scratched by the little insensible thing, she bent down and picked up the little fox that still faintly felt that something was wrong and left without a trace.

Gu Xiao, I'm warning you, hurry up and let me down!

Gu Xiao lowered his head and the fox in his arms bared its fangs at him, as if it was going to bite him if he didn't let go.

Bending down, he directly placed her on the grass at his feet. The white-furred fox shook its body and rolled its eyes at him again.

Hey, where are you going? I'm going to bring you out to find something to eat. Gu Xiao shouted at her. If he had known earlier, he would not have let her go.

With a leap, Lin Xi directly climbed onto a relatively thick and sturdy tree branch and slowly laid down on top of it, watching him.

Find something to eat yourself. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. You just want me to find something to eat before you take it back. You bastard, go and pick up the head!

... How did he get a head?

Don't be angry, you'll get beaten up by your own kind for being so heartless. Gu Xiao giggled as he sat down under the tree, not in a hurry at all. He had no intention to look for food at all.

You are now a Celestial Fox, you should only need to wave your hand to find something to eat, right? Hurry, hurry up, Prince's Wife is still waiting for me to bring food back.

Gu Xiao reached out his two long arms, asking for food.

It was so noisy, her ears twitched, causing Lin Xi to turn her head away from him impatiently.

Hey, are you really that heartless? We ate so little yesterday. Don't you feel hungry? Hurry up."

Lin Xi turned her head and saw his thick-skinned look, a light flashed across her mind.

Okay, then wait a moment.

Perhaps it was because of the fox itself, but following the chant that came out of Lin Xi's mouth, a few apples dropped from the sky and rushed towards Gu Xiao's head.

Gu Xiao, who hadn't even reacted, was smashed in the face by an apple.

With a light leap, Lin Xi walked in the direction of the cave, I'll be going back first, you can carry the apples, see you later ~

Clutching his aching cheeks as he stood up, Gu Xiao finally experienced an unspeakable pain.

When he endured the pain on his face, he finally moved the fruits into the cave, only to find that Feng Xiwu and Zi Lan had already eaten them.

You two … Just as the words reached his mouth were swallowed, Gu Xiao glanced at the little ball of words on the side, not wanting to say anything more.

Big wood, you should have already eaten it, right? Gu Xiao casually placed the apple on the table. The pain on his face no longer allowed him to release his charm.

This was the first time Black Wolf had seen him with such an expressionless face. Just as he thought it was strange, he saw Gu Xiao grimace in pain as he bit an apple.

Needless to say, he understood quite a bit about the redness and swelling on his face.

Not yet, the little fox only brought back a few apples, Young Noble Huang and I will be waiting for the fruits that you brought back.

With that, he picked up an apple and threw it to Huang Quan, who was sitting beside him. He then wiped off one of the apple and took a bite himself.

Huang Quan looked at the fruit in his hand, thought, and also bit down on it.

Zi Lan looked at the miserable Gu Xiao, and all the words in his throat was swallowed along with the fruits that were being chewed.

It's getting late, pack up. We'll continue our journey later. After saying this, the black wolf stood up and left the cave.

When Zi Lan came out carrying Feng Xiwu, Black Wolf was currently leading a few horses and walking towards them.

Miss, if nothing unexpected happens in the next few days, we will arrive at the prince's place tomorrow. Black Wolf said indifferently.

Zi Lan clearly felt the body of the person she was supporting stiffen slightly, and slowly looked at the faint red fog that was rising up slowly. Feng Xiwu's expression did not seem like hers.

It's getting late. Let's set off earlier. After a long while, all of his words turned into that one sentence.

The distance to her destination was closer, so Feng Xiwu's words were, Young Master Yu. Especially yesterday, Feng Xiwu spent most of the time by herself in a daze. It was unknown what she was thinking about.

Zi Lan looked at her young miss, who was quickly growing up. She felt her heart ache.

A few people mounted their horses, and a cloud of dust passed by. The few people in front of the cave had already disappeared without a trace. The white figure looked into the distance, feeling helpless.

These people had once again forgotten about her.

Within the capital city, the streets were bustling with people coming and going. It was a scene of prosperity.

Ever since Feng Xiwu left the palace, people from the Prince Jing's Mansion had always announced to the outside world that the Prince Jing's Wife was severely ill, and that it was not suitable to receive guests.

For a moment, words regarding the beauty of the Prince Jing's Wife's life flew all over the place, and in an instant, the incident of Qu Xue'er was practically suppressed.

However, her status was still there, and the princesses of the imperial family were still people who couldn't bear to see her in such a state. They took the opportunity to insult Qu Xue'er's reputation, and did everything they could to.

There was such a lot of talk about the people, not to mention the palace where they acted on their own initiative.

Very quickly, in just a few days of time, the Grand Princess who was acting arrogantly previously was now humiliated by a little palace maid who was serving tea to them.

The teapot fell to the floor along with the tray, and the sound of the slap echoed in the room.

Drag him out and kill him.

Opening her red lips, Qu Xue'er looked at the woman, who was kowtowing and crying non-stop, with an ice-cold glint in her eyes.

Very quickly, two of the older eunuchs entered the house and dragged the crying servant girl out. A woman's miserable shriek came from the courtyard, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.

Although Grand Princess was a little arrogant and despotic in the past, she would at most beat his servants up a few times and scold them a few times.

Qu Xue'er turned around and slowly sat down. Gu Yue, who was at the side, trembled slightly as she looked at her with eyes that were filled with fear.

Gu Yue, pour me a cup of tea. Her jade-like fingers casually picked up a teacup. The design and color of the tea cup were clearly superior, symbolizing the identity of its owner.

Trembling slightly, Gu Yue calmed herself down and poured herself a cup of tea.

The moment the tea entered her mouth, Qu Xue'er looked very relaxed. The miserable cries of the women outside mixed with the muffled groans of the boards hitting flesh, making people's hearts tremble, but to her, it seemed like it was a kind of enjoyment.

How is it that a mere palace maid like you isn't qualified to judge me? Although her red lips were parted, not a single trace of emotion could be felt from her words, causing people to feel extremely cold.

From today onwards, if anyone from this princess' residence dares to gossip behind her back, the outcome will be, Qu Xue'er slowly stood up and looked outside the door, They will be the same as her, maybe even worse than her.

The person who was still unharmed in the yard was now lying on the ground. There was blood oozing out from all around him, and his broken leg had been thrown to the side. The scene looked extremely horrifying.

The servant standing in the yard had his head lowered, afraid that he would be targeted.

Qu Xue'er looked around at the servants around him, her eyes filled with ridicule and ridicule.

CHAPTER 305 - PRINCIPLE OF BAR

Behind him, feeling Gu Yue's somewhat terrified aura, Qu Xue'er turned around and slowly sat down in front of the desk without saying a word.

Come and grind the ink for me.

Qu Xue'er dipped a brush into the ink, as if she was writing something on a piece of paper. Gu Yue quickly took the chance to peek at it from the corner of her mouth.

A tree trunk had already been formed on the drawing paper. Qu Xue'er was drawing the petals on the branch with her brush, which was drawn extremely meticulously.

Princess, your flowers look really beautiful. They look like real flowers. Gu Yue's eyes curved as she spoke, taking a closer look at the surroundings.

Qu Xue'er frowned, his expression extremely serious. No matter how well you draw, it is only a painting, she said as she dipped the brush into the ink, causing Qu Xue'er to pause for a moment.

Drawing this only records the appearance of an object. It's just like a human, under a different skin, the soul they hold is also different, right?

As Gu Yue locked gazes with her with a faint smile, a trace of panic flashed across her face.

After calming herself down, Gu Yue recovered her composure. With a trace of disappointment on her face, she asked, Princess, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you don't believe this servant?

As she stopped grinding, Gu Yue's expression became sorrowful.

Qu Xue'er sneered in her heart as she looked at her series of actions. It was truly as if she didn't belong to the ancient times, as the people around him were one after another, but she didn't know anything about them.

How ridiculous.

What are you thinking about? Qu Xue'er put down the pen, covered the back of her hand with her finger, and said with a very kind tone.

In my time at the Li Palace, you have been cleaning and tidying the palace every day. With such diligence, how could I not believe you?

Qu Xue'er chuckled, I was just casually saying that just now, look at you, what are you really doing?

Really? Gu Yue looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Qu Xue'er nodded, looking at her seriously. Since you can act, then I'll act with you and see who can play until the end.

Seeing Qu Xue'er's expression, the trace of panic in Gu Yue's eyes slowly faded, and her lips curved upwards.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The scene looked really like the scene of a master and his servant being deeply in love.

On a winter's afternoon, there was no longer any sunlight. With a glance, the sky appeared to be endless greyish-blue. It seemed as if the ground and sky had already connected together.

At the bend of the hill, a few horses were cautiously moving forward. From time to time, a few rocks would fall down from the valley.

Black Wolf was at the front of the pack, vigilantly surveying the surroundings. Logically speaking, this kind of weather wasn't suitable for this kind of road.

But other than the official road, this road was a must, so he could not choose to walk on it.

Ever since he brought Feng Xiwu and the others down this road, Black Wolf's mind had been in a state of tension.

Suddenly, a sound came from afar, startling the horse beneath them. It was the steadied Black Wolf that led the group to a halt.

The sound was getting louder and louder. Rumble! It seemed to be not far away from them. A cloud of dust flew by as it was hit by the rolling rocks. The black wolf hurriedly took a few steps back.

As everyone retreated in panic, countless rocks fell from the spot in front of them.

The road was blocked. This was Zi Lan's first reaction.

There were trees all around him, and no one else was in his way. To be blocked in such a place, no matter how one thought about it, they would find it difficult.

Black Wolf dismounted and slowly moved forward, a rock as tall as a human being blocking the way. There were large rocks around him that were about half the height of a human.

Big wood, this is a landslide, what are you thinking? Gu Xiao's voice came from behind him.

Black Wolf turned and slightly frowned as he looked at the large amount of stones in front of him. I know, but how we get there is not a problem with people, it's how the horses get there. "

Gu Xiao turned around to look at the horses behind him.

They could easily pass by with lightness, but the horse could not fly, which was a problem. As they turned to look up the valley, a thought flashed through their minds.

Black Wolf turned around and said with a profound look in his eyes, It looks like we have to change to the official road.

No need, I have a way, Gu Xiao patted Black Wolf's shoulder. Watch out for that pretty boy, don't let him touch Prince's Wife, I'll be back shortly after I leave.

With that, he exerted a little more strength on the tip of his foot, and Gu Xiao immediately disappeared from Su Yun's sight.

Feng Xiwu also dismounted and walked towards Black Wolf with a frown, What is he going to do?

Black Wolf shook his head and looked towards the direction Gu Xiao disappeared in. He said that he has a way, since it's still early anyway, there's no harm in waiting here for a while.

Although she had some questions, Feng Xiwu still nodded.

If she could find a way to take away these stones, she wouldn't mind if it became slightly more troublesome. After all, there were too many dangers on the public road.

The few of them dismounted from their horses and found a place to rest, quietly waiting for Gu Xiao to return.

Not long after, a long branch appeared in the hands of Gu Xiao who was descending from the sky. The thinner branch had already been broken by him, and the branch held in his hand was extremely thick.

Godly Doctor Gu, we are currently blocked from the road. You said that we have a way, but the one we are waiting for is you, bringing back a tree branch. Is this your way?

Huang Quan stood up and spoke, looking at the object in his hand, his tone carried slight ridicule.

Although Zi Lan did not understand what Gu Xiao was trying to do, Gu Xiao had always been protecting her safety.

Without waiting for Zi Lan to retort, Gu Xiao only laughed and shook her head, looking at him with disdain.

Un, it is disdain. This fellow doesn't even know the most basic of the leverage. Luckily, his consciousness is showing off in front of him.

Come, come, little white face. This young master will teach you a lesson today.

He placed the wooden stick on a small rock at the side. Gu Xiao's entire person was under pressure, and the big stone that was half the size of a person slowly rolled down the valley under the wooden stick's crowing.

Huang Quan was a little surprised when he saw this.

Did you see that? This is called the principle of leverage. Gu Xiao's face became a little arrogant.

After a few moments, he pushed a few of the stones to the side away, and Gu Xiao walked over to the biggest stone. Big wood, come and help me quickly. This rock is too big, I don't have enough strength by myself.

Black Wolf looked at him indifferently, and slowly walked towards Gu Xiao who was already in position.

The two of them released their strength at the same time, causing Gu Xiao's entire person to be pressed onto the tree branch, but the stone on the other side did not move at all, Get out of the way!

Black Wolf called out, his tone carrying some orders. Gu Xiao stared blankly for a moment, as he did not know what was going on, but after hearing his words, he stood up and stepped back a little.

Both of its legs bent slightly, as if there was air floating above Black Wolf's palm. Only then did Gu Xiao realize that he could use inner force, as the inner force was much more effective than any kind of dead energy.

As the black wolf's palm neared the wooden stick, the large rock that had steadily stopped in its tracks finally began to slowly roll, falling all the way down the valley.

Wow! Big wood, you're awesome! Gu Xiao's eyes turned into stars.

CHAPTER 306 - PARTNERSHIPS ONLY

This aura, could it be compared with the aura of Qu Jingxi when he was fighting alone against a hundred enemies? Compared to them, the modern Black Belt was like a gaudy flower.

Alright, it's getting late. Hurry up. Black Wolf looked at Gu Xiao and indifferently mounted his horse.

The few of them went around some of the smaller rocks to continue their journey. In their haste, none of them noticed the change in Huang Quan's expression.

The black-clothed guy that was hidden in the forest behind him still carefully followed him.

When the sky gradually darkened, the few of them finally arrived at a small town. Due to the color of the sky, they found an inn to get a private room to eat in before returning to their respective rooms.

Feng Xiwu who had finished showering had probably gone to sleep early after a day of hard work, but for some reason, she did not sleep tonight.

Looking up from the window, the moon in the night sky seemed to be exceptionally bright.

Princess, Zi Lan carefully helped her put on a set of clothes behind her, It's getting late, after running around for a day, it's still best to rest early.

Feng Xiwu shook her head, her gaze never left the window, no one knew what she was thinking about.

The wangfei is a matter of the prince. If the wangfei isn't willing, then we'll …

No, Feng Xiwu shook her head and lowered her eyes, "I've thought about it a lot these past few days. When I first married into the Duke Palace, I brought along father's orders to enter the Duke Palace.

But that's not it. He's not staying at the manor, but is just looking for his wangfei because of a rumor.

Zi Lan's lips moved but she was unable to say a single word.

I should not have feelings for him. If that was true, I should be happy, because that way, he would have an extra bit of strength to help him get closer to the throne.

Feng Xiwu lowered her eyes, and revealed the words in her heart.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that the man known as Jing Wang had treated her too well and doted on her, causing her to temporarily lose her bearings and even forget her mission.

This man, she shouldn't have any feelings for him.

They were only in a cooperative relationship. Once he succeeded, he would be able to escape unscathed and not travel thousands of miles like he did now just to find the truth.

She should not care about this kind of truth. She only needed to be a good princess in the eyes of everyone and help him ascend to the throne.

Miss, are you speaking the truth? Zi Lan squatted down, raised her head and stared at her, You really don't care about the Prince anymore?

She knew that when the Young Miss had married into the Prince's Estate, she had carried a mission with her. However, this could not become the reason for her abandoning her.

"Miss, you are Prince Jing's Wife, the mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion. If you like it, who in Prince Jing's Mansion would dare to say no? You can help the Prince to ascend to the throne, and similarly, when the time comes, you can act as a mother to the world.

Feng Xiwu looked at her with a complex expression in her clear eyes.

Forget it, good and good. What am I supposed to tell you?

Tian'er, it's getting late. You should go rest, I'll stay here for a while. Looking outside the window, Feng Xiwu no longer said a word.

Zi Lan looked at her. She knew that talking too much would only make her feel annoyed, so she retreated to the side to stand guard.

In the afternoon, Gu Xiao had already told her that Qu Jingxi had sent people to search for his wife everywhere, and that there were guards at almost every station.

She didn't know what the prince had sent so many people to do, whether it was to send Princess Hua-Yang back to her mansion or to have her reunite with her at the border. The only thing she could do was to protect Princess Hua-Yang from being taken away.

No matter what the final decision of the wangfei was, he would support her unconditionally.

Her life had been taken by the general, so she would definitely stay by his side to protect him. Even if his words were true, she would leave with him to take care of her.

The moonlight outside the window was extremely bright, and the expression in Feng Xiwu's eyes as she looked into the distance was somewhat unfocused. It was unknown what her unfocused eyes were thinking about.

The world under the curtain of night was especially tranquil. It was unknown how long had passed, but Feng Xiwu, who was sitting on the chair, finally slowly stood up. She turned around and saw Zi Lan, who was dozing off by the side of the screen.

Tian'er, it's getting late. Didn't I tell you to go to bed?

Zi Lan opened her drowsy eyes and saw Feng Xiwu shaking her head, Miss has not slept yet, how can I sleep first?

Alright, I'm going to sleep too. Hurry up and go back to my room. I don't need you to wait on me. Hurry up and go back to your room to rest. Feng Xiwu urged her.

Zi Lan was worried that Feng Xiwu would not be willing to leave, so she said, Miss, why don't you let this servant share a room with you, you're afraid of the dark, this servant is worried that you won't be able to sleep well.

Seeing that the candle on the table was about to burn out, Feng Xiwu could only nod her head.

After closing her eyes, she finally fell asleep. Zi Lan tucked her in and slept slowly beside her. The flickering candle flame in the darkness gave off a weak glow, illuminating a corner of the room.

In the darkness of Princess Mansion, Qu Xue'er tightly gripped the corner of her forehead, which was covered with fine beads of perspiration.

The candle on the table in the room had not been extinguished yet, so Qu Xue'er curled up her body and grabbed onto the corner of the bed tightly.

Just like last time, the sudden pain in his abdomen was unbearable.

Qu Xue'er knew that if sshe shouted, he would definitely provoke someone to investigate. Her current situation was already dangerous, so it was impossible for anyone to notice that something was wrong with her body.

After the last round of pain, Qu Xue'er knew that as long as she could endure, nothing would happen to him.

After an hour had passed, her body was covered in sweat, and drops of blood had started to seep out from her bitten lower lip.

Pain filled her mind, leaving only the tiniest hint of reason to stop screaming.

After a long while, the pain in Qu Xue'er's abdomen finally disappeared. As if she had collapsed, he laid on the bed without moving an inch.

Qu Xue'er closed her eyes, and a faint pain could still be felt from her abdomen.

The next time, was the next time. Qu Xue'er's clenched fist slowly loosened. She could not continue to be in pain like this, and had to find out the reason why.

Otherwise, if she was diagnosed by the imperial physician in the future and something happened to her body, her position as a Grand Princess would be even more unstable.

Now, everyone in the palace wished that something would happen to her, the Grand Princess, and those who didn't like her would keep slandering her in front of Qu Yiyu.

She knew that Qu Yiyu only protected her previously because he had to consider his own dignity in front of the common people. Similarly, for his face, he could eliminate her.

Qu Xue'er struggled to get up, her steps unsteady as she walked towards the counter and took the medicine she brought before. On the side of the drawer laid a hairpin that had been gifted to her by her royal grandma.

She remembered that those palace maid s had said that this was how her mother used the Crown Prince's Wife to get him to get off the stage.

Gu Yue, the Crown Prince's Wife, and the earlier Qing Yue were unaware of what had happened.

What was the connection between these people and the person behind them?

The information she gathered was scattered, Qu Xue'er grabbed the golden hairpin and returned to her bed, she looked like she had all her energy sucked out, and was completely unable to use any strength in her hands.

CHAPTER 307 - WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT ME I'LL CHANGE IT!

The woman on the bed slowly closed her eyes. In her mind, the scene from that night in the red tent once again appeared.

The hairpin stabbed into the man's fat neck. Unexpectedly, the man only paused for a moment. He looked at her fiercely, got up and pulled out the hairpin from his neck and threw it away.

Having lost his only weapon, Qu Xue'er's eyes were filled with fear. The man who stood up looked at her viciously with a hint of joy in her eyes.

I didn't believe you in the beginning when the bawd said you were a chick, but now I do. Yours Truly likes you the most.

Qu Xue'er, who had been drugged, couldn't muster any strength at all. The muslin on her body had been torn off, and her territory had been violated, so she had no way of resisting.

The sound of crying finally attracted her, but it was the person she didn't want to see the most.

The nightmare-like memories engulfed her. In the midst of her terror, Qu Xue'er suddenly opened her eyes, and she was the only one in the quiet room.

At some point, the blanket had been soaked with her tears.

Why, why me?

Tears rolled down her face, dripping onto
