Qi Qing looked at the person in front of him, his purple eyes full of mockery.
Even though she was wearing a veil, that look still made Shang Guo feel a little uneasy.
Shang Chen looked at Chen Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and Zeng Shu who was standing beside him.
Chong Zengshu winked at him, wanting him to explain.
But there was nothing he could do. After receiving the gaze from his own prince, Imperial Physician Zeng immediately lowered his head.
What it means is, I deserve to die...I dare not...
Shang Chen choked, then took a moment to calm down. He looked at Qi Qing again and explained, "Changxing City is a mixed bag of good and bad people. I'm new to the Shang Kingdom, so I can't absolutely protect you.
I originally wanted to keep you in Qionghua Palace. As long as I didn't show excessive care for you, you wouldn't attract other people's attention.
This way you could rest assured and recuperate here, but I didn't expect that what happened today would happen.
After today, things like this are bound to happen. Since we can't avoid them, we might as well just bring them to light.
However, if you have a strong background to rely on, they will definitely be wary of you.
As I have only a shallow foundation in the Shang Kingdom, I can only use the names of my cousin and aunt to intimidate them a little."
What Shang Chen said was reasonable. She also knew the situation of Shang State back then.
Countless members of the Shang royal family were killed or injured, and Shang Chen went to Shengyuan when he was young and stayed there for twenty years.
In the past twenty years, the Shang Kingdom has become a completely different place. It is impossible for Shang Chen to absolutely control the government in a short period of time.
Now I am seriously injured and have a broken face, and I don’t even have the ability to protect myself.
Shang Chen is also in trouble, and it is his greatest ability to provide her with a place to stay.
Although his identity has not been exposed yet, the fact that Shang Chen brought him back is enough to attract the attention of many people.
In Changxing City, perhaps the only ones who have enough deterrent power are Huangfu Lingao and Sheng Yuan.
only…
Qi Qing's beautiful eyes twisted slightly: "If they send people to Sheng Yuan to investigate..."
It is easy to find out whether there is such a cousin named Yu in Huangfu Lingao's maternal grandfather's family or Empress Sheng Yuan's maternal family.
Shang Chen felt relieved when he heard Qiqing say this, knowing that Qiqing understood his painstaking efforts and did not blame him for making the decision on his own.
He quickly said, "Don't worry, Changxing City is more than a thousand miles away from Shengyuan Imperial Capital, and it's not that easy to go back and forth.
If someone is interested enough to investigate, these days are enough for you to rest and recuperate."
Changxing, the imperial capital of the Shang Dynasty, is located in the northernmost part of the Shang Dynasty, close to the Northern Wilderness, so it is quite far away from Shengyuan in the south.
Moreover, he had already sent the news that Qiqing was in Changxing to Huangfu Lingao by express horse.
He believed that his cousin would have arrived in Changxing before the news from those people reached Sheng Yuan.
As for this matter, Shang Chen did not plan to tell Qiqing for the time being.
Qiqing nodded. She didn't care who the Crown Princess was in name only, not to mention that even her identity was fake.
What she is thinking about now is to heal her injuries as soon as possible, and then go to Shengyuan to kill the national teacher Zhibai!
At this moment, Qiqing didn't know that Zhibai was no longer in Shengyuan.
As for Bai Ziyu and Ning Anan, she hasn't decided whether to notify them.
The news they received must have been that they were dead.
Qiqing raised his hand and touched his burned face in the air.
And... and that person...
An image of a terrified and desperate face in the raging fire flashed through Qiqing's mind.
Close your eyes, forget it, let's talk about it later...
Qiqing waited for a while, but she didn't decide whether to send a message to Bai Ziyu, Ning Anan and Dugu Ling.
Instead, she waited for someone who was unexpected but made her extremely happy.
The little girl with two pompoms on her hair was peeking inside from outside the yard.
Qi Qing sat on a chair in the courtyard and waved with amusement. The little girl immediately smiled and ran in with small, bouncing steps.
When she walked in front of Qiqing, she felt a little embarrassed and twisted her fingers, wanting to look at Qiqing's expression but not daring to.
Qiqing didn't say anything, just looked at Belle.
Belle finally mustered up the courage and said loudly, "Sister Yu, I'm sorry, Belle didn't help Sister Yu drive away the bad guys that day.
Belle was still...still frightened by Sister Yu's injured face.
A'niang said that Belle was wrong.
Sister Yu was injured and was already feeling very uncomfortable and sad.
Sister Yu is so kind to Belle, Belle shouldn't be scared."
Qi Qing asked, "Then why haven't you come these days? Are you scared?"
Belle immediately shook her head: "No, at the beginning Belle was a little, a little..."
The little girl quietly looked up at Qiqing, as if she was worried that Qiqing was unhappy.
Then he muttered, “But, Belle, you’re not scared now, everyone is going to get hurt.
A-niang said that when Sister Yu’s injuries heal, she won’t be scary anymore.”
Qi Qing smiled and said, "What if my face is always bad?"
"Ah?" The little girl obviously didn't expect that her face might be in trouble.
His chubby face was wrinkled and his big eyes were rolling around.
After a long while, it seemed as if he had made a great decision.
Said: "If...if Sister Yu's face is always not good, then wait until Bei'er grows up and give Bei'er's face to Sister Yu."
Qi Qing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the little girl to say such words.
Intentionally teasing her: "If Belle's pretty face is given to Sister Yu, then you will become ugly. Won't you worry that no one will like you? No one will marry you..."
Belle smiled proudly and said, "No, my mother said that as long as you have a kind heart, people will like you. A beautiful person is not as good as a kind heart."
The little girl spoke in a very coherent way, like a little adult.
Finally, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Besides, my father promised me that he would marry me in the future.
I am going to marry my dad, and my dad won’t mind that Belle is ugly.”
Seeing the little girl's smug smile, Qiqing felt a moment of trance, as if she saw the little girl on Mount Qishan back then...
"Sister Yu...Sister Yu..." Belle shook Qiqing's sleeves, her big eyes blinking with confusion.
"Sister Yu, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing..." Qiqing shook her head. A thousand years had passed, but to her, it was just like yesterday.
Suddenly, the little girl approached Qi Qing mysteriously and said, "Sister Yu, I've made two new friends these days.
There is a brother named Xiaobao, and a big brother named Yu. I heard brother Xiaobao call him brother Yu.
I told Xiaobao that he has a brother named Yu and I also have a sister named Yu. "
"Yu Wuchen?" Qiqing was shocked.
Perhaps because Qi Qing was too surprised, the little girl was startled by the sudden increase in voice and stammered, "No, it's not Yu Wuchen, it's Brother Yu..."
Xiaobao? Brother Yu?
Qiqing opened her palms. Due to her severe injuries, she could no longer feel the faint red light on her palms.
Qi Qing thought for a moment, then leaned over to Belle and said a few words...
Belle's eyes lit up and she nodded happily.
