Chapter 59 Even Fu Huaiqing isn't good enough, so why should he be...?
"I have no intention of leaving."
Looking at the man with burning eyes, Biezhi spoke frankly.
She turned her head slightly, her gaze falling directly on the tall figure standing at the end of the street.
Not long after leaving Beidingmen, Biezhi noticed Fu Huaiqing following behind her. He didn't come forward, so she pretended not to notice.
That's why she felt that even if she escaped the palace, leaving the capital would be extremely difficult, and even if she went straight to the city gate, she would be stopped on the way.
"Just scouting ahead," Biezhi said.
Jing Qing has not yet been found, and the crisis is not yet over.
She still doesn't understand why Zhang Yan is so fixated on her. Even if it's not Jing Qing, it would be someone else, and her safety remains unresolved.
Whether it's Zhang Yan, Jing Qing, or anyone else, if they want to harm me, they'll have to consider Fu Huaiqing's opinion first.
If she had rashly left the Prince Su's residence before this, no matter how capable she was, she might not have been able to ensure her safety.
Therefore, before finding Jing Qing, the Prince Su's mansion was her best place to stay.
Almost instantly, Qin Xiao guessed what she was thinking.
His lips parted slightly for a moment, and he said, "If you leave, I will have someone clear a way for you so that no one will disturb you."
Biezhi remained silent for a moment, without answering his question.
After a moment of silence, she politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Qin." Biezhi finished the sugar water in her bowl, stood up, and walked towards the man whose expression was slightly solemn. The man's handsome face was filled with a cool and aloof aura, which even the sweltering summer heat could not hide from the coldness surrounding him.
Their eyes met, and the girl smiled slightly.
Fu Huaiqing stared intently at the girl walking towards him with a hint of something intriguing in his eyes, and then stepped forward with a slight lift of his foot.
"Not leaving?"
"I have no plans to leave."
Fu Huaiqing looked at her calmly: "Scouting the way?"
Upon hearing this, Biezhi paused for a moment, her heart suddenly filled with unease.
Nothing can be hidden from him.
We've known each other for so long, and I often nag him, that he's already seen right through me.
After thinking for a moment, Biezhi suppressed her anxiety and did not deny it: "If one day the master does not intend to let me go, I will naturally find a way out for myself."
The straightforward and unvarnished words slowly reached Fu Huaiqing's ears. He looked at the girl with sparkling almond-shaped eyes under the veil with complicated feelings, and remained silent for a long time.
His face darkened: "Why?"
Leaving the Prince's residence seemed to be without reason.
Biezhi felt it was instinct, an instinct calling out to herself for help, "The prince intends to confine me to the palace, so it's only natural that I want to leave."
Fu Huaiqing's eyes were dark and unfathomable. "Why didn't you stay?"
The other branch fell silent for a long time.
“If it weren’t me asking you to stay, but Ji Ran,” Fu Huaiqing glanced at her, “would you have stayed?”
Without hesitation, Biezhi replied, "No."
Silence was not her reason for leaving, nor could it determine whether she would leave or not.
She was leaving, and if Ji Ran agreed, they could leave together; if he was unwilling, Bie Zhi would not force him.
Fu Huaiqing's eyes were slightly closed, and his throat felt as if it were being choked, making it difficult to move.
He finally realized that her departure was not hindered by anyone, but entirely based on her own will.
Even if she didn't know that Ji Ran was her disguise, she wouldn't linger for a moment because of Ji Ran's rejection. Like a breeze that can't be caught, she would drift freely and without stopping for anyone.
Catching a glimpse of the approaching figure out of the corner of his eye, Fu Huaiqing looked past her and indifferently at Qin Xiao behind her.
Qin Xiao stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your subject greets Your Highness."
"Young Master Qin is quite fast." Fu Huaiqing's eyes were like a still pond. "He found this place in less than half an hour."
"Your Majesty, I am not talented, but I happen to have experience in reasoning like an ordinary person." Qin Xiao slightly raised his eyes and looked at Bie Zhi, who seemed to want to speak but hesitated. He knew that if she wanted to leave, she would definitely rush to the various city gates to search for her as soon as possible.
He withdrew his gaze from her face, paused, and looked directly at Prince Su, saying, "I just happened to guess what Miss Biezhi was thinking."
Upon hearing this, Biezhi frowned slightly.
Fu Huaiqing chuckled coldly, raised his palm and placed it on the girl's slender wrist, slowly encircling and gripping it tightly.
He pulled back slightly, and Biezhi took a few steps back.
"I guessed it, so what?" Fu Huaiqing's thin lips curved slightly, the smile not reaching his eyes. "How much do you really know?"
Bie Zhi tilted her head, glanced at Fu Huaiqing whose eyes were as deep as ink, and nodded secretly.
That's absolutely right.
She didn't think Qin Xiao could understand her that well. He just happened to have normal thinking and might have guessed her thoughts, but what right did he have to make the decision for her?
Even Fu Huaiqing is no good, so why should he?
As a silent thought arose in her mind, and she realized what she was thinking, Biezhi blinked unconsciously.
She pursed her lips and remained silent.
Although the girl remained silent, her eyes were filled with approval, and Qin Xiao's gaze faltered for a moment.
His turbulent emotions subsided little by little. His dark gaze swept past the tall man's figure, fixing on Biezhi, who seemed approachable but was not.
Her vivacity seems to be reserved for only certain people.
And among these people, there was no one like him.
Seeing this, Fu Huaiqing followed Qin Xiao's gaze and looked back slightly, meeting Bie Zhi's thoughtful almond-shaped eyes. He roughly understood what she was thinking and raised an eyebrow.
He tightened his grip on her wrist, said no more to Qin Xiao, and led her forward.
The problems between them had never been his concern.
Stepping onto the Prince's carriage, Biezhi quietly moved to the side, a little further away from Fu Huaiqing in the main seat. If possible, even a little further away wouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, any further and it would have fallen outside the carriage.
Biezhi glanced regretfully at the half-inch space beside her and sighed deeply.
Fu Huaiqing: "..."
He subtly moved closer to her. "Now you know to hide, but why didn't you think about it when you were running away?"
Hesitation leads to defeat.
From the moment she stepped into Xianyun Tower, Biezhi took this saying as the truth, and looking back and forth would only lead her into a predicament.
Moreover, "It was you who told me not to hesitate when doing things, and that if necessary..." she glanced resentfully at Fu Huaiqing, who was now only half a palm's distance away from her, "that I should even risk my life for his."
Even the King of Hell isn't as ruthless as him. Fu Huaiqing suddenly heard her earlier dissatisfied tone in his ear. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he remembered the current situation and the smile fell back down.
When he's not smiling, his expression is cold.
When Biezhi saw his reaction, she felt a little uneasy and muttered, "I didn't say anything wrong."
