"It was a coincidence. I heard that Ren Nuanyun's room was burgled, so I thought I'd go and see what happened. Who knew I'd run into you?" Qu Qingxi spread her hands and spoke calmly. She had already thought about how to explain herself to He Liufeng before she even set off.
"Why did you stop me just now?" He Liufeng continued. Qu Qingxi's words weren't suspicious. After all, Ren Nuanyun had repeatedly asked the men in black to kill him, so it was understandable that he went to see the joke. But if he wanted to see the joke, why did he stop him from checking on Ren Nuanyun?
"What do you think? You are my husband now, and Ren Nuanyun is just an unmarried young girl. In the middle of the night, you actually went to her boudoir. What if she was taking a bath or something? Wouldn't you have seen her naked?" Qu Qingxi said righteously.
Looking at Qu Qingxi's serious eyes, He Liufeng felt inexplicably guilty, and his momentum diminished. "I didn't think of that. I just wanted to see who this Ren Nuanyun really is."
"Your Highness, if you like her, you can tell me. You can take her as a concubine. But sneaking into her room in the middle of the night, how is that any different from being a lecherous thief?"
"I don't like her. I've never even met her, so how could I like her?" Sensing a hint of accusation in Qu Qingxi's tone, He Liufeng quickly explained.
"I met Ren Nuanyun when I was at the Princess's residence. She is indeed quite good-looking and I heard she is also very talented. Your Highness, as a man, I can understand that you admire a woman who is both good-looking and talented. As the Princess Consort, I must be a magnanimous person. If you wish to take a concubine or a secondary wife, that is fine with you. Just let me know in advance."
If Your Highness truly likes her but feels too shy, I can represent Your Highness to go to the Marquis of Dingguo's residence and propose marriage to Miss Ren.
Qu Qingxi looked like she was extremely worried about Liu Feng, and her eyes were full of seriousness.
She wasn't lying. Just now, an idea suddenly popped into her head. The system said that Ren Nuanyun was the female lead, the Crown Prince was the male lead, and He Liufeng was the male supporting character. If He Liufeng married Ren Nuanyun, it would inevitably disrupt the plot. At that time, there might be some turning point. Ren Nuanyun would be right under her nose and shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Even if He Liufeng ends up favoring Ren Nuanyun alone, I can find a way to leave this place directly and let the three of them develop their own story.
She won't participate in this messy relationship.
"I don't like her. What she looks like or whether she's talented or not has nothing to do with me. I just heard that she's quite difficult to kill, and I'm a little curious, so I'm going to go and see her."
"She's really hard to kill, really hard to kill?" Qu Qingxi's eyes widened slightly as she looked at He Liufeng in disbelief. "How do you know Ren Nuanyun is hard to kill?"
Wasn't this something only I knew about? Could it be that He Liufeng sent someone to assassinate Ren Nuanyun, and then also discovered this?
“I sent people to kill Ren Nuanyun, but they failed. Instead, some strange things happened, so I decided to go and see for myself.” He Liufeng did not deny it.
"They are indeed quite difficult to kill." Qu Qingxi lowered her eyes, concealing the shock in them. He Liufeng actually sent someone to kill Ren Nuanyun. Goodness, this is quite a move. The male supporting character kills the female lead? The plot has fallen apart?
"You know about this too?" He Liufeng frowned slightly when he saw Qu Qingxi's strange expression.
"Of course, she was ready to kill me, so of course I wouldn't just sit and wait to die. I didn't expect my weapon to be ineffective against Ren Nuanyun." Qu Qingxi was still somewhat disheartened when she mentioned this.
The enemy was jumping around wildly in front of her, and she couldn't kill her. This sense of powerlessness made Qu Qingxi very uncomfortable.
"Why? Why is Ren Nuanyun so strange?" He Liufeng's eyes flashed with deep thought. He had seen quite a lot, but he had never seen anyone who was unkillable.
"I don't know either." Qu Qingxi shook her head. There were some things she couldn't tell He Liufeng, such as time travel and the system.
"In short, there's something strange about Ren Nuanyun. If you really don't like her, you should see her less often in the future," Qu Qingxi said seriously.
Ren Nuanyun had only been here for a little over a month, and somehow she managed to get the Marquis of Dingguo and his wife to side with her and abandon their beloved eldest daughter. In less than half a day, she even managed to get the Crown Prince to side with her and publicly reprimand the princess. Ren Nuanyun was very strange, and so was the system.
"Hmm." He Liufeng glanced at Qu Qingxi and nodded solemnly. Qu Qingxi had repeatedly emphasized that he should not get close to Ren Nuanyun. Could it be that Qu Qingxi had also started to like him?
Thinking of this possibility, He Liufeng's lips curled up slightly.
Seeing He Liufeng suddenly curl the corners of his lips, Qu Qingxi felt a little confused, but she didn't say anything.
Ren Nuanyun put on makeup, lit a lamp, and lay on the bed in a ladylike manner with a smile on her lips. However, she lay on the bed for almost an hour and still did not find anything unusual.
Ren Nuanyun gradually lost patience and began to ask the system in her mind, "Didn't you say He Liufeng was approaching? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
[Host, we have detected that He Liufeng has left this area.]
"What??? He left here?" Ren Nuanyun immediately sat up, her face almost contorted in shock. She had been preparing for so long, her body was practically stiff from lying here, and now the system was telling her that He Liufeng had already left!
"When did he leave?" Ren Nuanyun asked, suppressing her anger. "Since he left, why didn't you tell me?"
[He Liufeng left an hour ago.] The system revealed this answer that nearly drove Ren Nuanyun to despair.
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ren Nuanyun questioned. If she had known that He Liufeng had left so early, why would she have pretended?
[The host didn't ask me anything. Also, please be polite to the system.] The system's cold voice came through, almost making Ren Nuanyun furious.
In the morning, sunlight streamed into the room. Qu Qingxi rolled over, not wanting to get out of bed at all. There was ice in the room, so it wasn't hot at all; the temperature was very comfortable.
There was a hurried knocking at the door, and Qingdai's voice came in at the same time, "Your Highness, are you awake?"
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Qu Qingxi frowned her beautiful eyebrows and sat up.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to see you and the Prince. They say they have something to discuss."
"Where is the prince?"
"The prince has not yet returned from court."
"Okay, I understand. You go and entertain the people from the palace well. I'll get up right away."
In the flower hall, Qu Qingxi sat in her seat, looking at the woman in front of her who was about forty or fifty years old.
