Chapter 10 - Two Letters of Withdrawal

Wei Qing pursed her lips, "Father, it was just an accident that I met a friend."

"Friends?"

Prime Minister Wei stared at her without blinking. However, he did not see any signs of nervousness or panic in Wei Qing's eyes.

He suddenly thought that the reason why the rumors spread so fast must be because of Tian Sisi!

The veins on his forehead were stretched extremely high due to anger, and the solemn Qi, even if it was someone as bold as Wei Qing, still felt it to be extremely tight.

"Father, is the current situation very unfavorable for me?"

After hearing that, Wei Qing actually could not help but let out a light laugh, "This Tian Sisi really can't stay still!"

"Qing`er, was the injury on your face also caused by Tian Sisi?"

Wei Qing shook her head and said in a low voice, "I let Die'er do it!"

Hearing that, Prime Minister Wei's eyes became sharp, "You …."

"Father, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about me!" As she said this, her eyes were firm, and her hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists.

Tian Sisi, since you like to spread rumors so much, I will let you know what it means to lift a rock and smash your own foot!

Very quickly, Xiao Qingqian received the news that Wei Qing had returned to the Prime Minister's Estate safely.

If Wei Qing was not even the slightest bit related to him, he would not have felt anything. However, the most important thing was that Wei Qing was currently a Chief Consort, so what was the difference between spreading such news and brazenly slapping him?

Just as he was feeling depressed, he smelled a faint fragrance.

He frowned and looked over, seeing Tian Sisi bringing in the food box, her brows relaxed as she laughed gently and said, "Your health is not good, so leave these things to the servant girl!"

Tian Sisi said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is my own heart, how can I pretend to help others?"

Xiao Qingqian pulled her to the side of the bed, "Weren't you injured?"

Tian Sisi pursed her lips, "My prince, will Prime Minister Wei resent what I have said today?"

"It's fine, there's nothing wrong with what you said!"

She glanced at the table, "It seems that there are still many matters that the Prince has not dealt with!"

"Yes." Xiao Qingqian drank from the tonifying soup, "Rest well tonight!"

A strange look flashed past Tian Sisi's eyes, but very quickly, even Xiao Qingqian was unable to catch a glimpse of it.

"Prince, how about I stay here and accompany you?"

"Si'er, if there's nothing wrong with your body, Ben Wang naturally wants you to stay, but not this time!"

"My prince!"

"Alright, send concubine back!"

Tian Sisi unwillingly curled her lips: "Fine!"

Just as he left the study, Tian Sisi's expression became extremely dark.

"concubine, will master's city map be on the table?" Bi Yao looked left and right, and said with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I don't think so!"

Although the Old Emperor had asked Xiao Qingqian to fix something as important as the city map, it shouldn't be placed so casually on the table!

"It looks like I'll have to find some time. I need to go to the study room again!" Tian Sisi's face became gloomy, the space between her brows almost twisted into a lump.

Tian Sisi snorted, "Is it possible for Wei Qing to be kicked out of the competition so easily?"

"Wouldn't it?"

This woman's chastity is as great as the sky, the Duke would definitely divorce Wei Qing!

Tian Sisi stopped and returned to the study room.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Qingqian hurriedly put the city map back. When the door was pushed open, he sat in front of the table with a dark expression, "Si'er?"

"Your Highness, how do you plan to settle the matters of the Elder Sister Princess?"

Xiao Qingqian sighed helplessly, "Yue'er, you're too kind!"

"Your Highness, I only wish for my family and everything else to go well!"

With just a single sentence, it had completely ignited the fury in Xiao Qingqian's heart.

He had tolerated Wei Qing again and again, but Wei Qing was too disrespectful to her!

"This King knows his limits on this matter. There's no need for you to persuade me any further!"

Tian Sisi wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she left unwillingly.

After the door was closed, her lips formed a crafty smile.

Wei Qing, this time, I'm afraid even the deities will not be able to protect you!

Early morning the next day, Wei Qing openly returned to Prince Chu’s Mansion.

When the guard saw her, he was stunned for a moment before hurriedly going in to inform her.

At this time, Xiao Qingqian was in his study, preparing to lead his people to check out the city's defenses. Hearing that Wei Qing had returned, his eyes were cold as he quickly wrote a few words and went to Wei Qing's hall.

When Wei Qing saw him, she politely greeted him.

"Wei Qing, do you have nothing to explain to this king?"

Wei Qing frowned, "I don't understand what you mean!"

"Where did you go yesterday? With whom? What happened? Aren't you going to explain it to This King? " Xiao Qingqian questioned Wei Qing like a string of cannons.

Wei Qing pursed her lips, "Your highness, I met a friend yesterday, let's reminisce about old times now, then we'll miss out on some more time."

"You!"

With such an ability to spout lies, Wei Qing admitted that she was number two, and no one dared to claim themselves as number one!

Xiao Qingqian squinted his eyes, and threw the letter at her face, "Immediately pack up your things and scram for this king!"

Wei Qing raised her brows and bent down to pick up the few thin pieces of paper on the ground.

He quickly skimmed through it and said, "Prince's literary talent is not bad!"

The anger in Xiao Qingqian's heart grew even stronger. He let out a heavy snort, and clenched his fists even tighter under his sleeves as creaking sounds came from his joints.

Wei Qing's mouth hooked up, and actually ripped the letter apart right in front of Xiao Qingqian.

As she watched the pieces of paper drifting down, Xiao Qingqian's gaze became so cold that it was as though it could freeze one hundred and ninety percent of a winter's worth of paper into an ice sculpture.

Wei Qing raised her eyebrows and fearlessly took out another letter from her sleeve and stuffed it into Xiao Qingqian's hands.

"What is this?"

When his gaze fell upon the huge word "divorce letter", Xiao Qingqian's eyes narrowed and let out a light laugh.

"Since Your Highness is unwilling to leave, then I will have to write a letter of rest!"

"Wei Qing!" The anger in Xiao Qingqian's heart was completely pulled to the limit, his five fingers formed a claw, and mercilessly grabbed onto Wei Qing's neck.

Wei Qing fearlessly raised her leg, bent her knees, and struck towards his lower abdomen …

"Ugh …"

After being struck in the vital parts, Xiao Qingqian could not help but gasp for breath, and his face became extremely distorted due to the pain.
