"Can I back out now?" Lu Qingyan thought to herself, but when she met Xia Xiazi's concerned gaze, she swallowed the whole large piece of food.
Seeing that Lu Qingyan's originally pale face had regained a little color, Xia Xiazi said, "Master, please rest first. This servant will go out to work now."
As soon as Xiaxiazi stepped out of the door, she saw someone.
He was a man as sturdy as a pine tree, with striking good looks, yet he exuded a bloodthirsty aura, like a sword just drawn from its sheath. Just his presence alone made people feel that the surroundings were filled with murderous intent.
Xiazi's mind clicked instantly, and he knew who this person was. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly: "This servant greets the Crown Prince."
"Yes, get up." Feng Changgui's voice was as cold as anyone who saw him for the first time would imagine.
"Where is the third brother?" Feng Changgui asked.
"The Third Prince is inside," Xia Xiazi said, but her heart was filled with worry. The First Prince and the Fifth Prince were born of the same mother; could he be here to cause trouble for the Third Prince?
But if it were the Fifth Prince who came today, he might have the courage to stop him. But if it were the First Prince, he really wouldn't dare.
Unlike the Fifth Prince, who was pampered by those around him from childhood and could be easily appeased with a few kind words, this man fought his way up on the battlefield and had many lives on his hands.
Thinking about this, Xia Xiazi's legs were trembling.
"Third brother." Lu Qingyan had just closed her eyes when she heard someone calling her name. Knowing her current status as the Third Prince, she knew it was either her eldest or second eldest brother.
She opened her eyes and saw a face exactly like Mo Yunjing's and Huo Jin's.
Lu Qingyan: "..."
I want to be alone. Don't ask me who Jingjing is.
The man was beautiful and alluring, making one's heart itch and yearn to pounce on him. Little did she know that he would be her nominal brother in this life, though not by blood.
Uh, is this the eldest brother or the second eldest brother? Please answer.
Feng Changgui revealed a gentle smile, but he probably forgot what gentleness really meant a long time ago, so his self-proclaimed gentle smile appeared somewhat sinister in Lu Qingyan's eyes.
However, his gentleness was merely superficial; his eyes held more indifference than tenderness.
"What, don't you recognize your older brother?" He stood there without reaching out.
"Big brother," Lu Qingyan called out obediently, and asked, "When did you get back?"
Lu Qingyan clicked her tongue and sighed, "As expected, I'm not favored. I didn't even know when the First Prince returned."
"I returned at dawn today. After washing up, I met with Father and finished explaining everything. Then I went to the Imperial Study and found that you were the only one of the brothers who wasn't there. What, didn't you go to study with them?" Feng Changgui asked, as if he knew nothing.
Lu Qingyan didn't know if he really didn't know or was pretending not to know, but after thinking about it, she figured he probably really didn't know, since not everyone has the time to keep an eye on other people's news.
Moreover, the Fifth Prince was clearly closer to him, so if he really knew the whole story, he probably wouldn't have come here.
"Big brother, it's all Qingqing's fault. She had a fight with the fifth prince. Father, Father has already forbade me to go to the Imperial Study to study?" Lu Qingyan said, silently lowering her head, but her eyes were rolling around.
