Qu Qingxi glanced at He Liufeng, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, let me go wash my face." After saying that, Qu Qingxi walked outside.
He Liufeng followed her out, walking side by side with Qu Qingxi, and asked, "Why do you still want to show her what you looked like before?"
"What's wrong? It's just a glance, nothing serious. Besides, I'm a woman, and she's a woman too. What are you worried about?"
He Liufeng looked at Qu Qingxi without saying a word. What was he worried about? What if that Miss Yang saw Qu Qingxi's true appearance, was amazed by her, and then continued to pester her? He had also heard many stories of women liking other women.
What if, what if...
He Liufeng dared not think further, but he made up his mind that he should try to make Qu Qingxi and Miss Yang see each other less often in the future, or better yet, not at all.
Yang Qianqian sat in the chair, feeling a little uneasy. Had she acted impulsively?
Qu Qingxi quickly removed her makeup, washed her face, and even took off her fake Adam's apple.
Upon seeing the radiant woman before her, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water, Yang Qianqian was stunned. So, she really was a woman, and so beautiful at that.
"I don't know how to address you, young lady." Yang Qianqian still didn't know the person in front of her, her surname and given name. She hadn't even left a fake name for her before.
"My surname is Qu, and my name is Qu Qingxi."
“You can also call her Princess Consort; she is the Princess Consort of Nanqing,” He Liufeng added from the side. She was already his princess consort; how could he let others call her Miss Qu?
"Princess?" Yang Qianqian was taken aback again. So she was a princess.
"In that case, we'll head back now. Miss Yang, Qingzhu, you should get some rest."
Yang Qianqian stood at the door, watching Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng walk away and disappear from sight, before turning back with a slight sense of loss.
Under the bright moonlight, He Liufeng and Qu Qingxi strolled along the road. The moonlight cast long shadows of the two of them, and if they turned around, they would see that their figures overlapped, creating an inexplicably ambiguous scene.
"By the way, how did you know I went to Yanyu Tower today? And you even found my exact location?" Qu Qingxi turned to look at He Liufeng, who was silent to the side.
"I was originally looking for you, but Qingdai said you weren't there, so I guessed you might have gone to Yanyu Tower. I asked Qingdai for your room." He Liufeng said calmly. Actually, when he went to find Qu Qingxi, he didn't see Qingdai and guessed that she might have gone to Yanyu Tower. When he came here, he found Qu Qingxi in Qingyan's room.
"Is there something you need from me?" Qu Qingxi didn't suspect He Liufeng and assumed he really had something to ask her.
"It's alright now." He Liufeng was just making up an excuse on the spot.
"By the way, how much did the madam of Yanyu Tower charge today?" Qu Qingxi calculated the money she had in her hand. She was not short of money. The Marquis of Dingguo's treasury and half of the national treasury were in her space. She was now at least a wealthy woman in the region.
“It’s not much, you don’t need to think about paying me back. You are my wife, we are husband and wife, we don’t need to talk about these things between us.” He Liufeng turned his head and glanced at Qu Qingxi.
Qu Qingxi was dressed in men's clothing. She had just washed her face with water, and her face was clean. Her eyes were clear, and her red lips were slightly upturned. In the moonlight, she looked very alluring.
"I also promised to owe you a favor. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know in advance. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely help you." Qu Qingxi looked at He Liufeng earnestly.
"Really?" He Liufeng asked, seemingly uncertain.
"Yes, as long as it's within my power." Qu Qingxi nodded and emphasized again that if He Liufeng were to ask for the throne, she really wouldn't be able to do it in a short time.
"Let's go back and talk about it first."
Then came another silence, but it wasn't awkward; the two shadows, one big and one small, actually conveyed a sense of warmth and harmony.
Suddenly, a group of men in black jumped down from all sides and surrounded the two of them.
Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng were completely unaware, which clearly showed that the men in black had been lying in ambush, waiting for them to pass by.
The leader of the men in black gave a gesture, and the others immediately stepped forward.
Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. They had decided to come here on short notice, and the choice of this route was also random. Why would someone be lying in ambush here, waiting for them?
To avoid trouble, Qu Qingxi did not bring Qingdai today, and He Liufeng did not bring anyone with him, not even his bodyguards.
"Don't move, I'll handle it." Qu Qingxi approached He Liufeng and whispered in his ear. She felt that the man in black was a bit strange today.
"Are you sure you can handle this?" He Liufeng asked with some concern. He also sensed the strangeness of the men in black's arrival, and considering his recent recovery, he felt increasingly puzzled.
"Don't doubt my abilities, just stay put and don't cause me any trouble," Qu Qingxi said, patting He Liufeng on the shoulder.
After Qu Qingxi finished speaking, she took out a packet of poison and a hidden weapon from her spatial storage, using her sleeve as cover.
First, she threw a hidden weapon at He Liufeng's back, killing the people surrounding He Liufeng. Then she took two steps forward. Seeing this, the men in black surrounded her and thrust their swords at her.
He Liufeng stood aside, anxious but hesitant to make a move. He suspected that the appearance of these men in black was to test his skills and whether the poison in his body had truly been cured.
Seeing that she was surrounded, Qu Qingxi did not panic. Taking advantage of their close proximity, she first threw out the poison in her hand, and then kicked one of the men in black in the wrist. The man in black felt pain in his wrist and unconsciously loosened his grip on the sword.
Qu Qingxi snatched the sword and began to wreak havoc on all sides.
The men in black reacted quickly. Although some of them inhaled the poison, most of them quickly dodged and drew their swords to stab Qu Qingxi.
Qu Qingxi leaped lightly and stepped directly onto the tip of the sword, instantly killing two men in black.
She did another backflip, landing on the open ground behind her. Sure enough, those people were coming towards her. Qu Qingxi narrowed her eyes, flipped her wrist, gripped the long sword in her hand, and went to meet the men in black.
The man in black was fast, but Qu Qingxi was even faster. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the men who had been so aggressive in trying to kill her were lying on the ground, lifeless.
He Liufeng was greatly shocked. He knew that Qu Qingxi was skilled and could evade the guards in the mansion, but he had only thought that Qu Qingxi was good at light footwork. He did not expect that she was this good.
He Liufeng was certain that, based on the current situation, Qu Qingxi's skills were on par with his own. If he were to add the hidden weapons and poisons she possessed, even if he were to face Qu Qingxi head-on, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
What is her true identity? She is clearly just an unfavored young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion, yet she inexplicably possesses superb medical skills and such formidable martial arts abilities. What exactly happened?
