Duan Qingxi found it difficult to refute this. After all, if she were alone, even if she had the support of the general's mansion, the princess would probably not take her seriously.
But if Helian Sheng stood up for her, the eldest princess would be somewhat wary.
Duan Qingxi is not the kind of strong and powerful heroine in romance novels who has to take on everything on her own. Helian Sheng has taken advantage of her so much, so it is necessary to protect her now!
So she said, "Of course you have to protect me! And if anything happens to me, you'll be the first person I blame! I'm telling you, I'm the Ninth Princess now, and if anything happens to me, you won't have an easy time either!"
Qiao Yun and Chan Xue: ...
Why is the style wrong?
The prince spoke so affectionately, shouldn't their young lady be very touched?
Helian Sheng had long been accustomed to her temper and way of speaking. Not only was he not angry, he also felt sweet in his heart.
His wife is so cute!
When it was time for a break, Helian Sheng did not take the initiative to go to the study, but stayed in the room, and Duan Qingxi did not drive him away.
After everyone left, Helian Sheng took off his mask and happily lay down beside Duan Qingxi.
You will never get tired of looking at good-looking people no matter how long you look at them.
When he was about to kiss her, Duan Qingxi covered his mouth with her hand, looked him in the eyes, and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Why are you spreading rumors that you have a cruel temper and are extremely ugly?"
Duan Qingxi looked at Helian Sheng and thought that he didn't seem to be a low-key person. Why would he deliberately spread such rumors to damage his reputation?
The man didn't say anything, just watched her blinking her eyes, that little look could make people dizzy.
Duan Qingxi quickly released his mouth and said angrily, "Talk to me seriously!"
She's so pretty and yet she acts cute and coquettishly to her, I wonder if she can't help herself?!
Helian Sheng was well aware that everything should be done in moderation, so he didn't dare to push his luck further. He replied seriously, "I didn't spread that rumor."
"Then who spread it?"
Given Helian Sheng's identity, if he hadn't spread this message himself, who would dare to do such a thing?
Moreover, judging from the expressions of the emperor, empress, and crown prince, they don't seem like the type of people who would spread such rumors.
Helian Shengdao: "My master taught me this. He said that I... have a bad fate and need to gain a bad reputation. This will deepen the hardness of my horoscope."
Duan Qingxi: ...
Maybe it was really his master who did it, but this was definitely not the reason.
He didn't want to say it, or he had his own reasons for not saying it, or he himself didn't know. Duan Qingxi was too lazy to ask him.
Simply changing the subject, he asked, "Also, what were those monsters that were chasing you before? How... did you end up getting involved with those weird things?"
These monsters, of course, refer to those non-human creatures that had chased them and even caused them to fall off the cliff.
Speaking of these things, Helian Sheng's face suddenly turned ugly.
"I don't know that either. I only know that they've been hunting me since I was very young. It's because of Master that I've been protecting me, and that's why I'm still alive and well..."
Before he could finish his words, Duan Qingxi pressed on, "What about your master?"
She has been here for so long, why has she never met his master?
Helian Sheng was silent for a long time before he said, "The day I first met you, my master disappeared..."
In the past, he often kept in secret contact with his master, and it was under his master's protection that he was able to stay safe and sound.
But unfortunately, he couldn't find his master that day, and he was entangled by those monsters. He was seriously injured and could only barely escape.
As a result, as soon as he returned to the outskirts of the capital, he was targeted by a killer again.
