Chapter 180 How could Qingbao be so cunning?
Qingbao's eyes widened in surprise.
"Mother, aren't you called Sihe? How come you've turned into a medicinal herb... um."
Tang Chen immediately covered the little guy's mouth.
Tang Chen glanced down at her, not wanting Qing Bao to ruin the atmosphere by speaking up at this moment.
Right before my eyes.
Fu Tu's eyes were completely red, and he gripped Si He's shoulders with both hands, his voice trembling:
"Back then, weren't you not in the sect? How did you become a vengeful ghost... Ah Ling, what exactly... happened to you?!"
On the day the Guamen sect was destroyed, it was Fuling's turn to go to the human world to set up a rain-seeking array for the drought-stricken people in order to accumulate merit.
Fu Tu refused to close his eyes even in death, and only died peacefully after the people from Tianxian Sect had gone far away and his junior sister had not returned.
I dare not think about it.
When she returned and saw that all her fellow disciples had been wiped out, how heartbroken she must have been...
But she will survive.
Why did I become a vengeful ghost just like him...?
Why?
The next moment.
Si He's eyes were clear, and her clothes had turned completely white.
She looked at Fu Tu with a blank expression and asked softly, "Lord Fu Tu, why are you looking at me like that?"
My shoulder was still being gripped by him, and it was a little sore.
Sihe couldn't help but squirm.
Fu Tu was overwhelmed with emotions and stared blankly at her, unable to utter a single word.
Slowly let go and let your hand hang down.
How could he forget that she was Si He?
"I……"
I wanted to explain something, but I couldn't bring myself to speak, and I felt completely lost.
"Mother—" Qingbao cried out, "Futu, why did you let her go! She's just a mortal!!!"
Si He stared wide-eyed as she plummeted straight down from the sky.
Fu Tu's brows furrowed.
It transformed into a streak of black smoke and rushed forward.
They wrapped her up and safely brought her to the ground.
Si He's expression changed from bewilderment to horror.
"Lord Futu, I don't think I've ever offended you, so why are you harming me?"
Fu Tu waved his hand, like a child who had done something wrong, "I didn't, I didn't, I just..."
Incoherent.
I don't know how to face the mortal Sihe.
Qingbao landed beside Sihe, raised her face, and called out cutely, "Mommy, don't you remember what just happened?"
Si He shook her head. "What happened?"
"You fought with Qingxuan." Qingbao looked at him with wide eyes, full of admiration.
Si He pointed at herself, her face filled with horror, "Me? Me? I fought with Qing Xuan?"
Qingbao nodded.
She looked at Fu Tu, and Fu Tu nodded.
She looked at Tang Chen, who sighed softly, "Yes, don't you know your own strength?"
“Of course I know. My strength is about 100% equal to Qingxuan’s,” Sihe said.
Qingbao's eyes lit up even more. "How does the 10/90 split work?"
Si He: "One punch from him, and I'm dead..."
"But judging from your performance just now, it was clearly a 30/70 split," Tang Chen corrected, frowning.
Si He nodded, "Yes, that's right, three punches from him, seven days after my death..."
Tang Chen: ...
Everyone: ...
It seems that Si He was completely unaware that she had another self.
Si He squatted down and tenderly touched Qingbao's damp baby hair on her forehead.
"Baby, did the fire burn you?"
She was extremely anxious.
He told Fu Tu to go in and save the people, and then he lost consciousness.
She vaguely heard someone say that Qingbao was dead, and then she couldn't remember anything else.
Qingbao's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Mommy, the fire was so scary! I was sleeping, and I almost got roasted alive... Waaah, Mommy..."
The little one jumped into Si He's arms, just like a three-year-old baby.
Tang Chen's eyelids twitched, her eyes filled with impatience.
Pack!
Keep pretending!
No wonder Si He doesn't care about her.
It turns out that she wasn't the sinister and vicious person she seemed to be in front of Si He at all!
"Sweetie, it's not cooked yet, it's not cooked yet, don't cry." Si He coaxed her patiently. "Who rescued you?"
Qingbao pouted her little mouth, pouting high, "It was Brother Jing... who saved me. Sister Tangchen also came in, but she came to cause trouble and almost made me fat."
Feeling wronged, he filed a complaint.
Si He looked at Tang Chen and said, "You're an adult. If you don't know how to put out a fire, then don't go in and cause trouble. You scared Qing Bao half to death."
Tang Chen's pupils dilated in shock. "What did you say?"
Qingbao shrank her neck and hid in Sihe's arms. "Mommy, look, she's still so fierce. Deduct her monthly allowance."
"Tang Chen, you've gone too far!" Si He frowned. "She's your young mistress!"
Tang Chen's breathing became rapid, and she forced a smile. "You don't know my identity?"
"Aren't you the maid I bought?" Si He said. "Do you think you can ride roughshod over the princess?"
"I'll let it slide this time because your intention to save her was good, but your attitude towards Qingbao was really inappropriate. Don't let me see it happen again, remember that?"
"say!"
Tang Chen couldn't hold back any longer. Her cold gaze was fixed on Qing Bao as she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll remember that."
Even after her identity was exposed, she was forced to stay and work as a maid!
This is absolutely a disgrace!
Qingbao raised her eyebrows slightly, covering her mouth, almost bursting into laughter.
But in order to maintain her domineering persona, she smiled broadly with one side of her mouth, deliberately lowering her gaze to look at Tang Chen.
The chubby boy's face was full of calculation and sinister intent. "Hehehe."
Tang Chen clenched her fists slightly, suppressing her anger.
She had never seen a child so gloomy!

The Eastern Palace.
The imperial physicians came and went.
Fanzhi, her eyes red, bustled about.
The Emperor looked at Xia Jingheng and sighed helplessly, "Why did you have to rush into that fire? Qingbao could knock ten of you flying with one punch. Does she need your protection?"
Xia Jingheng leaned quietly against the headboard as the imperial physician bandaged his wounds.
“Father, Qingbao was unconscious at the time. If I could rush in and wake her up, what would it matter if I gave her my life…”
He didn't know why he had such a strong impulse.
Ever since he met Si He and then Qing Bao, he seems to have been unable to control his thoughts.
For example, this matter.
"Last time you were captured and came back half dead. You haven't even recovered yet, and now you're causing this trouble again. Heng'er, how can your father entrust the great cause to you in the future?"
The Emperor sighed deeply.
He has no other obsession now, he only wants to hand over the country to the next monarch in peace.
Xia Jingheng lowered his eyes, "Compared to the country, I want to protect them more..."
Fanzhi brought in the medicine and paused upon hearing this.
After the Emperor left.
Fanzhi knelt down:
“Your Highness, please forgive this servant for committing a capital offense. They are not ordinary people. You went into the fire to save her, and she was unharmed, but you are in this state. She didn’t even come to see you. You only have one life, it’s not worth it.”
She picked up the medicine bowl, gritting her teeth, "Please, take care of yourself first, okay!"
Xia Jingheng looked at her, his gaze slightly complicated.
"Fanzhi, considering you've been by my side for so many years, I won't take your life. Pack your things and leave the palace to go home."
"I don't need you to serve me anymore."
Fan Zhi trembled all over, her legs almost going weak.
Your Highness, you actually want to send her away?
