Feng Qing’s face instantly reddened as she knelt to beg for forgiveness. “Yes, I deserve to die!”
Yun Dan helped her out with treatment. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating a pair of fair and delicate hands. She gently moved her fingers, and the sunlight danced on her fingertips with nimble grace.
Her lips, resembling cherry blossoms, curved slightly. “Su Yingxue should be an interesting woman.”
Su Yingxue found a side hall and delved into her mother’s handwritten letters, reading more about Qi State.
Two hours later, Aunt Jing Fang came to find her and conveyed, “The Eldest Princess mentioned feeling tired and won’t be seeing Miss today.”
Su Yingxue nodded. “Alright, I’ll come again tomorrow.”
“Miss has worked hard. The Eldest Princess has a temper, but Miss need not take it to heart,” Aunt Jing Fang advised.
Su Yingxue smiled. “There’s nothing to be angry about if I don’t seek revenge. However, there’s something I must remind Aunt about.”
Aunt Jing Fang looked at her seriously. “What’s the matter?”
“Treating this princess too well is not advisable. Don’t give her special treatment just because she’s the Eldest Princess of Qi State. The treatment given to her should have been the same as what the emperor gave to envoys from various countries. It was essential to ensure absolute fairness.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes sparkled.
Aunt Jing Fang hesitated. “But historically, various countries have given preferential treatment to this Eldest Princess, fearing to offend her.”
She recalled an incident when the Eldest Princess traveled the Nine Regions, a noble showed disrespect, and that person later died a gruesome death, with not even a trace of his remains!
“What other countries do is unrelated to us. Our actions represent the Great Cheng Dynasty’s face and national prestige. As a great country, why should we imitate the small Nine Regions countries? The emperor governs the world, and the Ninth Prince battles to make the Great Cheng Dynasty mighty, not to seek favor.”
Su Yingxue’s words were majestic, earning silent admiration from Aunt Jing Fang.
“Miss is indeed worthy of being the daughter of a family of generals. Your insights are profound. 1 know what to do and will not tarnish the face of our Great Cheng Dynasty.” Aunt Jing Fang nodded with a smile.
After Su Yingxue nodded, she returned to the Marquis’s Manor.
When she attacked Feng Qing today, Zi Wei didn’t appear, and she didn’t sense his aura.
Therefore, the moment she returned, she started to call out, “Zi Wei? Zi Wei!”
Zi Wei didn’t appear, and she didn’t even sense his aura.
Zi Wei had been by her side for so long. Others might not sense it, but there was a special tacit understanding between her and Zi Wei. She could feel Zi Wei’s presence.
But now, she couldn’t feel it anymore…
Su Yingxue’s brows furrowed. She searched the courtyard once and asked Zhilan to pay attention to Zi Wei’s tracks.
She rushed to the clinic, but Manager Qi did not see Zi Wei.
Su Yingxue thought of the poison in his body. She had been busy with her matters during this period and had forgotten to detoxify Zi Wei. She grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs and rushed out.
She had walked quite a distance when she remembered something and quickly turned back to buy a bag of sweets on the street.
She remembered that when Zi Wei’s sword was broken, he had once gone to a place to forge a steel knife. She went to the place he mentioned, where the knife was forged. There were few people here, and the only blacksmith shop was closed.
She wandered around the entrance of the blacksmith shop for a while before jumping over the wall.
She landed in the courtyard and shouted, “Zi Wei!”
Fortunately, she had shouted. Otherwise, the knife behind her would have pierced through her body..
