Chapter 323: Practice for Fun

Before Lin Xiafeng had time to be happy, news came out that Qin Qingyao was running between the clan house and the Qi family. That woman really never had a moment's peace. Relying on the support of Dugu Yu behind her, she thought that no one in the world dared to touch her, right?

Lin Xiafeng once thought that as long as Dugu Yu forgot Qin Qingyao and only remembered her kindness, he would still obey her orders as before.

But the result made her so angry that she vomited blood. Dugu Yu only came out to see her once, and she wanted Dugu Yu to marry Ling Anli. Not only did he not listen, he also killed Ling Anli!

Lin Xiafeng finally understood that Dugu Yu had nothing to fear as long as it was something from the Ghost Saint, so she no longer planned to waste time on Dugu Yu.

Since you can't be of any use to me, then you might as well die!

But there are so many people in this world who want to kill Dugu Yu, but he is still living a prosperous life. He killed the emperor's niece, but was only beaten with a hundred sticks. He was back to life in less than half a month.

Even the emperor is so partial to him, how can others do anything to him?

Even if the Cangshan Sect still existed, they might not be a match for the group of perverted guards around him, not to mention that there are very few people available around her now, so she was reluctant to send them out to die.

So after thinking about it, she finally came up with a brilliant idea.

Dugu Yu is immune to the Ghost Saint's poison, but Qin Qingyao doesn't have this ability!

Since Dugu Yu loves Qin Qingyao so much, to the point that even being drunk for a thousand days can't make him leave her, then it would be easy for Qin Qingyao to kill him!

Of course, if Dugu Yu did not love Qin Qingyao to such an unguarded degree, but instead killed her because he could not tolerate her betrayal, Lin Xiafeng would also be very happy to see it!

Bai Zhi didn't catch up with the person she wanted to chase, and returned the same way she came, feeling a little discouraged. She saw Qin Qingyao leaning against the wall in the alley, gasping for breath, and looking very uncomfortable.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"I...it's nothing. I wanted to chase you, but you ran too fast and I couldn't catch up. Where were you?"

Bai Zhi said with red eyes, "I seem to see someone wearing my sister's bracelet."

"Baiji's bracelet?"

Baizhi nodded while holding the silver bracelet on her wrist. The two sisters had a pair of identical bracelets. Although they were not worth much, they were definitely their most precious things.

But after her sister died, the bracelet was lost, so she was so excited because she thought she saw it just now.

Bai Zhi supported Qin Qingyao and smiled, "But I must have seen it wrong. I'm really sorry for making you worry. Let's go back quickly."

Qin Qingyao nodded and walked towards the palace with Bai Zhi.

In fact, she was not mistaken. The girl she was pursuing was wearing a Baiji bracelet, and she deliberately showed it to her.

All of this was part of Lin Xiafeng's plan.

Originally, Lin Xiafeng planned to give the bracelet to Ling Anli after she had established herself in the Wuling Palace.

Let her wear it every day, come in and out of Qin Qingyao's presence to stimulate her, aggravate the conflict between them, and let them fight over such a broken bracelet until they are bleeding.

But I didn't expect Ling Anli to be so stupid. Despite such good conditions, he lost so completely and even lost his life.

Sure enough, relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself.

So Lin Xiafeng came up with this idea and asked someone to deliberately lure Bai Zhi away. With Qin Qingyao's temper, it was probably impossible for her to abandon her maid and go home first. Sure enough, it happened exactly as he wanted!

The first thing Qin Qingyao asked when she returned to the palace was, "Where is the prince?"

"In the garden."

He could walk well today, probably exercising in the garden. Qin Qingyao called Wu Gang and said, "Can you give me a sword? A sharp one."

"What does the princess need a sword for?"

Qin Qingyao, "I'm bored, so I practice for fun."

"Then you may use this one of mine first. The blade is sharp. Princess, please be careful not to hurt yourself."

Qin Qingyao was of course very satisfied with Wu Gang's sword. "Thank you!"

She stood up and walked out with her sword in hand. Bai Zhi and Wu Gang followed her worriedly.

Qin Qingyao frowned and said, "You two don't need to follow me. I'm just going to the garden to practice casually. You guys should go and do whatever you need to do."

"yes!"

The two of them stopped and waited for Qin Qingyao to walk about ten meters away before quietly following her, because they both felt that the most important thing they should do at this moment was to keep a close eye on the princess.

Otherwise, if she hurt herself with the sword, both of them would be in trouble.

When Qin Qingyao arrived at the garden, she saw Dugu Yu practicing boxing outside a pavilion from afar. It was a very basic boxing technique, just to stretch his meridians and rehabilitate his legs.

His legs and feet are not very flexible yet, so his movements seem a little stiff.

Qin Qingyao went around behind him and stabbed at his back with a sword. Dugu Yu stepped aside and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Dugu Yu was quick-witted and grabbed her.

After Qin Qingyao stabilized his body, he swung his hand back, and the tip of the sword in his hand brushed against Dugu Yu's neck and made a circle.

Dugu Yu curled his lips and smiled, "Want to practice sword? It just so happens that you didn't succeed last time. Come and let me see what you have learned from me before."

Dugu Yu let go of Qin Qingyao, took a step back, and put his hands behind his back, with no intention of using them. In addition, his legs were not very smooth when walking, so it can be said that he gave in completely.

Qin Qingyao raised his sword again and took up a stance, "You asked for this!"

She had no internal strength, but her legs were flexible. Dugu Yu couldn't attack her and could only dodge by moving his less flexible legs. So it seemed that Qin Qingyao actually had some chance of winning.

The gardener in the garden and the maids and servants passing by saw that the prince and princess began to play together lovingly again, and each of them showed the smile of an old mother on their face.

They stopped what they were doing and started to gather to join in the fun. Bai Zhi and Wu Gang no longer hid but ran out to cheer for Qin Qingyao, with Wu Gang also giving instructions from time to time.

"Princess, the prince's upper body is agile and he dodges quickly. You should attack his lower body!"

Qin Qingyao obeyed and did as she was told, and actually cut off a corner of Dugu Yu's clothes with one sword. Suddenly, applause and cheers were heard in the garden.

"Princess, the prince's left leg has a much smaller range of motion and is less able to withstand force. If you attack his right side, it will be difficult for him to dodge."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qingyao stabbed Dugu Yu's right leg. When he raised his leg to dodge, all his body weight was on his left leg, causing him to lose his balance and almost fall.

The servants who were watching the fun nearby were laughing so hard that their faces and necks turned red. It was not often that they could see their prince in such an embarrassing state. The princess was so mighty!

Qin Qingyao swung his sword upon seeing this, but unfortunately Dugu Yu dodged it easily with a backflip.

"Dugu Yu, so many people want to see me beat you up, what do you want to say?"

Dugu Yu smiled gently, "My teaching is good. Your sword-holding posture is very standard. It would be even better if your hands stopped shaking."

Qin Qingyao's hands were shaking because Wu Gang's sword was too damn heavy!

She didn't feel anything at first, but after swinging and stabbing it for a long time, she couldn't hold it anymore!

Qin Qingyao was a little disappointed as she leaned her sword against the ground and gasped for breath. She was so tired, but Dugu Yu was still smiling so brightly as if nothing had happened. It was simply too much!

It seems that even a lean camel is bigger than a horse. She can't kill him head-on, so she has to use her wits to defeat him!

"I don't want to play anymore!" Qin Qingyao returned the sword to Wu Gang and left angrily.

Seeing that the princess was angry, the servants around her couldn't help but whisper to speak up for her, maintaining a tone that was high enough to show their awe but could be heard clearly by the prince.

"Your Highness knew that the Princess was weak, but why didn't he give her a break? Look how angry she must be!"

Dugu Yu, “…”

How else can I give in? Can I just lie down next time?

Qin Qingyao returned to the living room angrily, with her legs crossed and her feet shaking, looking very anxious.

Bai Zhi, "Princess, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem a little strange after returning from the Qin family?"

"Strange? What's strange about me?"

"I can't explain it either, but I just feel like you're anxious, but I don't know what. And just now, you just ignored Wu Gang's instructions. You knew that the prince's left leg was seriously injured, but you still targeted him. Don't you feel sorry for him?"

Wu Gang: “…”

Did he just do something stupid in the heat of the moment? Would the prince not punish him later?

Qin Qingyao didn't feel distressed when she heard Baiji say that. Instead, she said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, he's so strong. This little injury won't bother him. It's okay!"

If the injury is more serious, I can't stand up or move at all, and can only lie on the bed and let others do whatever they want!

Qin Qingyao was still thinking about how to attack Dugu Yu when the servants came to invite her to the restaurant for dinner.

"Eat? Eat! Wu Gang, do you have any arsenic?"

Wu Gang really thought he had misheard, "Arsenic?"

"Don't you have any? Crane's Beak Red, Smiling Half-Step Dian, any poison can be used to make do."

Wu Gang and Bai Zhi looked at each other and saw a confused face that was just as bewildered as their own. "Princess, what do you want poison for?"

Qin Qingyao, "There's a mouse in my room! Please help me find it. I need it tonight. Thank you!"

At the dinner table, Qin Qingyao did not stand with Dugu Yu to eat as she did before, or pick up food for him, but sat there by herself and ignored him.

Dugu Yu was very frightened, thinking that he had really angered her by not giving in to her in the garden.

He carefully observed Qin Qingyao's expression, ready to wait for an opportunity to apologize. However, he did not see any anger on Qin Qingyao's face. Instead, he saw that Qin Qingyao was lost in thought, and occasionally showed a cunning smile.

What is going on?
