When Feng Guang saw the man with the knife leading the group walking a large yellow dog, her eyes twitched and she felt a headache coming on.
The man in black bowed and greeted her, "Crown Princess."
The dog also barked excitedly.
Fengguang, keeping ten paces away from him, tried to ignore the dog and asked, "Who are you?"
"This humble servant, Liu Qi, is the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I pay my respects to the Crown Princess." The man bowed his head and clasped his hands, his demeanor neither humble nor arrogant.
Feng Guang raised an eyebrow. "I remember you."
Yesterday, when she was bitten by the tiger and dragged away, he was the one who followed behind her the whole time, but there was nothing he could do.
Clearly, Liu Qi understood the meaning behind her words, so he took the initiative to apologize, saying, "Please forgive us, Your Highness, yesterday's events were too sudden, and we had no way to help."
If you believe him, then something sinister is at play.
Feng Guang snorted, "I know you're thoroughly investigating the assassin's matter right now, and I won't make things difficult for you. Take your time investigating. I'll take my leave first."
"Please wait, Your Highness."
She turned around impatiently, "What is it now?"
"The Crown Princess should also be included in this investigation." Liu Qi's expression remained unchanged, showing no concern that he would offend her with these words.
Upon hearing this, Feng Guang almost immediately asked, "Your so-called investigation includes me?"
"Lord Song has ordered that everyone in the palace be treated equally. Please forgive me, Crown Princess."
"You mean Song Wuxia?"
A collective gasp of horror rose from the surrounding crowd.
Feng Guang glanced around. Fei Yu behind her was already frozen in fear. Liu Qi's expression was also quite subtle. She blinked innocently, "What's wrong? I said it was Song Wuxia..." Another gasp rang out. She paused, "Can't I call him by his name?"
"It has been a long time since I've heard anyone address Lord Song by his given name."
"Is his name a taboo?"
“No…Miss.” Fei Yu whispered behind her, “Everyone in the palace, including His Majesty, respectfully calls him Lord Song, but no one has ever dared to call him by his name directly.”
"Isn't a name meant to be called out?"
Fei Yu sighed wearily. It was obvious that her young lady, after losing her memory, had not yet realized how terrifying that person was.
Feng Guang didn't want to deal with any of this anymore. She turned around and said, "No matter what you want to investigate now, I have urgent business to attend to, and no one can stop me."
Before Liu Qi could react, Hu Yao broke free of the rope around his neck, barked twice at Feng Guang, and ran towards her.
This time, Feng Guang reacted quickly. She nimbly hid behind Fei Yu and shouted at Liu Qi, "Quickly tie this dog up!"
Liu Qi was only distracted for a moment before he remembered to control Hu Yao. But Hu Yao was no ordinary dog. It reacted quickly, avoiding Liu Qi and bypassing Fei Yu, heading straight for Feng Guang.
Feng Guang could only run away from Fei Yu, shouting as she ran, "What are you all standing there for! Grab it now!"
At this moment, the people in the Eastern Palace also came to their senses, and thus a very comical yet familiar scene was formed: Fengguang ran ahead, Huyao chased behind, and behind Huyao were a group of palace maids, eunuchs and imperial guards.
Don't misunderstand, this group of Imperial Guards was there to prevent others from being injured by the tiger.
But Feng Guang, with her small frame that had never exercised, was destined to be no match for this giant dog. Tiger's bite was almost biting her skirt. She gritted her teeth and climbed up the palace wall using the ladder left by the gardener. When she saw Tiger was also going to climb up the ladder, she kicked it down. Seeing that Tiger could only bark unwillingly from below, she breathed a sigh of relief on the palace wall. Indeed, she had never thought that she could move so fast.
A tall, slender man approached from a distance, a faint smile playing on his lips. "What's going on? The Crown Princess seems unusually lively today."
