What exactly happened during the time she was gone?
"Old Xie, it has to be you again!" Leng Qingning exclaimed.
Um?
Then, as if remembering something, his scrutinizing gaze fell on Biluo. "What's going on?"
Biluo looked bewildered. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Leng Qingning glanced at Biluo as she walked around her.
"You silly girl, you're always so gossipy, you can't wait to tell me how many yolks are in every egg a rooster laid. How come I haven't heard anything about such a big event as Tongzi and Lao Xie getting married, even though I've been back for almost a month?"
"Ah, this..."
Biluo stammered, "Your Highness, I haven't been paying much attention to things outside the manor lately."
"Are there any corners of the wall you don't climb?" Leng Qingning stared at her probingly.
Biluo seemed to be thinking about something; her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact.
Something's not right.
Seeing her like this, Leng Qingning revealed a teasing smile: "Oh ho, why are you making that face?"
This is going to be interesting!
"No...no!" Biluo tried to cover up her embarrassment.
Then he explained, “Your Highness, after you disappeared last time, I was so worried about your safety that I had no time to care about anything else. Minister Cang ordered us to keep quiet and not to tell anyone. I was extremely anxious. Later, Minister Cang reported to His Majesty, but the people His Majesty sent out said that you were no longer in the Sangqiu tribe. I was even more worried and couldn't care less about anyone else…”
"Oh, is that so..."
Leng Qingning still found it a bit strange, "I've been back for so long now, aren't you curious about what's been happening outside in the past month?"
Biluo's expression looks familiar, just like when I last saw her showing affection in public, she was just as shy.
Leng Qingning lowered her head in thought, her gaze focusing, and gradually a maternal smile appeared on her face.
"You and Fu Guang? When did this happen?"
Unbelievable!
I'd heard Cangyuan mention it before; Fu Guang had a crush on Bi Luo.
Biluo blushed even more when her thoughts were exposed, and her voice softened, "Your Highness, it's not confirmed yet, so please don't tease me."
"What's going on? Tell me quickly, tell me all about it." Leng Qingning instantly transformed into a gossip listener, pulling Biluo down to sit and not forgetting to pour herself a cup of tea.
Biluo stopped being coy and told her directly, "After you disappeared, I actually secretly ran away to look for you, and Fuguang... came along with me..."
"So when you two were alone together, you couldn't help but fall for him?"
A moment of confusion crossed Biluo's eyes. "I don't know either. I just feel that he seems more charming and humane than before."
"I think I like it." Biluo nodded to herself with certainty.
"Back in the Dark Guard Camp, he was a great demon. We had to fight each other every day. At that time, what I feared most was being drawn against him."
"Why?" Leng Qingning's curiosity was successfully ignited.
Biluo smiled helplessly, "Because at that time, no one had any feelings for each other. Everyone was just trying to survive and become stronger. Fuguang was the strongest in martial arts among our group of secret guards. Later, he was promoted to the head of the secret guards to discipline us."
“During that period, I was constantly under his oppressive aura.” Biluo frowned and shook her head, not wanting to think about it anymore.
"Later, Vice Minister Cang stood out and successfully rose to the position. He was one of the best among the young secret guards. At that time, he could fight Fu Guang to a draw."
"Although he also had a deadpan face and was taciturn, he was more humane than Fu Guang and didn't hurt us as badly."
At this point, Biluo laughed, revealing a gloating expression.
"He rose through the ranks and was appointed as the deputy chief of the secret guards, assisting Fu Guang in disciplining us. However, he often challenged Fu Guang because he wanted to become stronger and only Fu Guang met his standards as an opponent. So the two of them often fought while injured, and he became a little more lenient in disciplining us, making our lives less difficult."
"Later, I was selected to work in the Emperor's palace."
Leng Qingning listened with great interest, imagining Cang Yuan's former cold and ruthless appearance in her mind, and then she laughed out loud.
"interesting."
"So what's going on between you and Fu Guang?"
Biluo pursed her lips and recalled, saying with some grievance, "Do you remember the time last year when you bought the Cangwu Sword for Minister Cang? It was during those few days when you neglected me that Fuguang confessed his feelings to me."
"Ah! So early?" Leng Qingning exclaimed in surprise.
Biluo scratched the back of her head. "Back then, I couldn't believe it either, but as we spent more time together, I truly felt it, so..."
Biluo lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
"Yes, I understand."
"Have you confessed your feelings to each other?" Leng Qingning asked.
Biluo shook her head, "Not yet, but he has mentioned it a few times, 'slave...'"
"Oh dear." Leng Qingning said anxiously, exasperated, "You're a woman, you should be more proactive. Since you like him too, why haven't you expressed your feelings? Are you so afraid of him just because he used to be a great demon?"
“I used to be afraid, but I’m not anymore.”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Leng Qingning raised her voice, encouraging, "Go for it!"
"Go to him right now and tell him how you feel."
Leng Qingning nodded emphatically at Biluo, signaling her not to be timid and to take the initiative.
Seeing that her master had said so, Biluo hesitated for only a moment before suddenly becoming confident, her eyes shining brightly.
"Your Highness is right, I will go find him now."
"Good, good, that's how it should be."
Leng Qing gazed intently as Bi Luo rushed out the door.
