Chapter 75 Biezhi was stunned by his kiss.

Suddenly, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She stared blankly at Fu Huaiqing's handsome features. The setting sun shone on his back, making Biezhi momentarily stunned, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.

Admittedly, he's handsome, but to this extent, others really do seem less appealing.

In broad daylight, she longed to kiss him.

Realizing the thoughts that had been drifting through her mind, Biezhi suddenly snapped back to reality. Seeing the smile in the man's eyes, she blinked, pursed her lips, and glared at him resentfully.

The girl's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her cheeks puffed out slightly. Fu Huaiqing raised his knuckles slightly and poked her cheek. The soft flesh on her cheek sank in for a moment before slowly returning to its original shape, making her incredibly cute.

Fu Huaiqing's lips curled up, "What are you thinking about me now?"

You can even get angry at yourself.

Upon hearing this, Biezhi fell silent.

It wasn't that she was complaining about him, but she felt that she was too easily tempted. He had just used a little trick, and she was now completely immersed in his beauty and unable to extricate herself.

However, she wouldn't tell the truth about that.

Biezhi deliberately slapped his hand away and muttered, "It's all your fault."

Fu Huaiqing raised an eyebrow, "Blame me?"

He doesn't seem to have done anything wrong?

"You're blocking my view," Biezhi pouted.

As she spoke, she deliberately turned back to look at the man still standing at the door. The moment their eyes met, Biezhi wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that he didn't seem as good-looking as Fu Huaiqing.

Fu Huaiqing: "..."

He followed the girl's gaze, lifted his eyes, glanced at the man in the library, and slightly gritted his teeth: "Is he really that good-looking?"

A slightly dangerous tone came from behind her. Biezhi swallowed imperceptibly, turned around, and shook her head like a rattle-drum, saying with certainty, "None of them are as good-looking as you."

Fu Huaiqing felt a little better after the breath that had been stuck in his throat.

Without a word, he took her hand and led her forward, placing her inside the carriage.

Facing the man's deep gaze, Bie Zhi pondered for a moment, then, as the cart wheels rolled, she stood up, met his gaze, and decisively sat on the man's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Fu Huaiqing's eyes darkened slightly as he waited silently for the girl's next move.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, and that his palms were still casually resting at his sides as before, Biezhi looked at him with a hint of doubt.

You should know that in the past two weeks, whenever she did this, without even saying a word, his palm would land on her back, and he would tilt his head back to kiss her.

After a moment of silence, she poked the man's shoulder with her fingertip. "Are you really angry?"

Fu Huaiqing remained silent, simply watching her.

After looking at each other for a while, Biezhi chuckled.

After laughing, she realized the man in front of her was still angry, so she quickly suppressed her smile and said, "I swear, none of them are as good-looking as you. If your picture were drawn in a book, it would be priceless."

She felt that if bookstores weren't afraid of Fu Huaiqing's identity and worried that he might be taken away at any moment, he would definitely have a place in their collections, and his handsome appearance would be used as a selling point.

Fu Huaiqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Books?"

Biezhi: "..."

She blinked, then lowered her head and kissed him.

Biezhi, who was carefully observing the man's expression, saw that his expression had not softened, so she lowered her head and kissed him again.

Left, right, middle.

She kissed them all.

After the kiss, she blinked and looked at him.

Fu Huaiqing's breathing became slightly heavy, and his dark pupils sank a little deeper.

Without hesitation, his large hand gripped the girl's waist. He deftly pushed open her teeth, invading her mouth and stealing all her breath, leaving her no space whatsoever.

Biezhi was so captivated by his kiss that she lost herself in thought.

She didn't know if it was because they kissed so often, but she felt that Fu Huaiqing's kisses were much better than before. Often, just one kiss would make her feel like her soul was leaving her body.

Noticing the girl in his arms drifting off into thought, Fu Huaiqing's eyes darkened, and he kissed her even more deeply.

The kiss suddenly deepened as if it were trying to steal her soul. Her fingers, which were wrapped around his, trembled several times, her waist went limp, and she almost completely sank into his arms.

They knew nothing of heaven and earth.

Fu Huaiqing, whose eyes were filled with longing, were like peach blossoms in spring. Her delicate face was pink and tender. Her gaze was fixed on the girl. She raised her fingertips and slowly wiped the water stains off her lips.

Just as he was about to kiss her again, Biezhi raised her hands and placed them on the man's shoulders to stop him. "We're here."

Before anyone knew it, the carriage had come to a stop.

The guards and others who were following outside were very perceptive and did not go forward to disturb them, but waited silently outside.

Fu Huaiqing held her waist tightly and didn't let go.

He lightly stroked the girl's cheek with his fingertips. "How about staying at the Prince's mansion tonight?"

After returning from Suzhou, she did not stay at the Prince's Mansion, but went back to the courtyard in Xianyun Tower.

However, Biezhi did not stay in the courtyard forever. She happened to have more than three thousand taels of silver left. After deducting the silver for repairing the road in Lijia Village, she still had two thousand three hundred taels left, which was more than enough to find a suitable small courtyard in the capital.

The courtyard in front of her, which was only a hundred feet away from the Xianyun Tower, was the perfect spot she had found ten days ago. She didn't have many things to pack and moved in within half a day.

Biezhi caught the fleeting desire in his eyes and pursed her lips slightly.

She shook her head: "Tingzhi is coming to find me."

Fu Huaiqing frowned upon hearing this.

He flung aside the curtains on the window, "Where is Su Ci?"

"Lord Su is currently at the Ministry of Rites." Cheng Jin, who had already rushed back, was sweating profusely. He glanced at the guards who had retreated a hundred paces away, puzzled. He took out a secret dish from his pocket and slipped it through the crack in the window. "Half an hour ago, someone went to see the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Biezhi, who was sitting on Fu Huaiqing's lap, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes.

There were quite a few court officials who went to pay their respects to Fu Mingzhan, but the fact that Cheng Jin specifically mentioned him meant that what they were talking about was definitely not a serious matter.

She patted Fu Huaiqing on the shoulder, "Do you want to go back to the palace and take a look?"

"It's alright." Fu Huaiqing took the secret disc, flipped through it quickly, and said, "It's within my expectations."

Most officials in the court followed him and obeyed his orders, but there were also those with ulterior motives. Although Fu Mingzhan did not have any real power, he was, after all, the 'emperor,' and the power that this identity brought him was immense. Naturally, some people would want to use the power that came with this identity to check and balance him.

Fu Huaiqing closed the secret dish with a half-smile. He caught a glimpse of worry in the girl's eyes and pinched her cheek. "We've already laid a trap for them, just waiting for them to fall into it."

Hearing him say that, Biezhi felt a little relieved.

These days, because of Fu Shuning, she would go to the palace from time to time, and she gradually got to know Fu Mingzhan and understood his personality a little.

He is only ten years old now, still a child.

However, perhaps because he was born into royalty and experienced things more profoundly than other emperors, he had his own thoughts even at a young age.

"Miss." Cheng Jin saw the figure carrying a food box approaching and knocked on the wall of the carriage: "Miss Fang has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Biezhi came to her senses.

She pushed away Fu Huaiqing's large hand that was on her waist, stood up, lowered her eyes to straighten her slightly disheveled clothes, and said, "I'll come to see you when I have time."

Fu Huaiqing frowned.

Without looking back, he jumped off the palanquin and ran towards Fang Tingzhi.

Fang Tingzhi finished her mission yesterday. "Seeing the scroll in the box, I finally understood the meaning of this mission." She glanced at her friend, who was munching on jujube cake like a little squirrel, and sighed.

Noticing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, Biezhi put down the pastries she was holding.

The two belonged to different pavilions, but were both from Xianyun Tower. They understood the rules of the tower: unless it was a task to be completed by multiple people, they were not allowed to reveal their task to anyone, let alone to the mountain dwelling that was under the guise of spying.

It was rare to see her like this, even after what happened at the Chen family, she was never as dejected as she is today.

Fang Tingzhi sighed deeply again, and said with a pursed lip, "The point is that it's a waste of my time."

In the box she searched so hard for, there was only a painting.

The figure in the painting is that of a woman.

She had never seen it before.

Fang Tingzhi and Qingshan confirmed with each other ten times yesterday before she was sure that she had not looked for the wrong item. What the client needed to find was precisely this painting.

She couldn't understand why Su Ci had hidden it so well, since it was just a painting.

The scroll he hid in the secret compartment must have been no ordinary scroll.

And the woman in the painting...

Fang Tingzhi sighed again.

Seeing her friend slumped over the table with a gloomy face, Biezhi frowned, sensing something unusual. She asked, "Unhappy that the mission is over?"

The moment she asked the question, she suddenly realized something, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and she asked knowingly, "Are you still unhappy because you can't see Su Ci?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Tingzhi sat up straight and retorted righteously, "I don't want to see him."

“I understand,” Biezhi understood in an instant. She had a look on her face that said, ‘I don’t understand others, but I understand you,’ and said meaningfully, “It’s because you can’t see Su Ci that you’re unhappy.”

Fang Tingzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.

She really didn't want to see him.

He already has a girl he likes, yet he still tries to joke around with me. What kind of behavior is that?

Biezhi noticed her struggle and hesitation. As the only one of the two who had experienced romantic relationships, she offered some advice: "I think if there's anything you're unhappy about, you should talk to him about it." Besides, "If you keep bottling it up, you'll eventually suffocate yourself."

Upon hearing this, Fang Tingzhi's heart, which had sunk to the bottom of the lake, was slightly lifted.

She still values ​​her life.

"If—and I mean if"—she lifted the stool she was sitting on and moved it closer to her friend, "if the master already had a girl he liked, but still kept bothering you, what would you do?"

Biezhi jumped to her feet: "Did Su Ci treat you like this?"

"No, no." Fang Tingzhi quickly wrapped her arms around her waist, afraid that she would immediately go to Su Ci to settle scores, and patted her back reassuringly: "It was one of my other friends, another friend encountered such a thing."

Other friends.

Biezhi: "..."

She suddenly remembered Xiao Ming's hesitant expression back then.

Was she the same person she was before, just like Fang Tingzhi is now?
