Chapter 22 - Preparing to go to Puhua Temple

Tian Sisi looked at him with misty eyes, shook her head, and then nodded.

Xiao Qingqian did not understand, "Does it hurt or not?"

Tian Sisi sobbed, and held his hand to her heart, "Your highness, do you know that the greatest injury is heart injury, and the greatest pain is heartache?"

These words were said in a sad and dismal manner, causing Xiao Qingqian to have no choice but to be moved.

He looked at her deeply, sighed, and ordered the Dark Guard to release her from her confinement.

"Your highness, can you promise me one thing?"

Confronted with her eyes that were filled with expectations, Xiao Qingqian pursed his lips and answered with a "yea".

"If Your Highness one day loathes me, you must tell me. I have a good preparation!"

It was as if there was a lump of cotton stuck in Xiao Qingqian's throat that made it difficult to breathe.

"Si'er, This King has been busy these past few days, so I don't have time for you!"

"Your Highness, I really can't do without Your Highness. If I didn't have Your Highness, I'm afraid I'd really go crazy!"

Xiao Qingqian comforted her for a while and kept her company until she fell asleep. Then, he ordered someone to come in and clean up the mess on the ground.

Die'er angrily snorted.

Wei Qing frowned, she looked at her in search of her, "Who recruited you again?"

"Slut Tian is truly capable, to actually hang herself. This is enough to cause the prince to feel heartache!"

Wei Qing curled her lips indifferently, her eyes still staring at the words in the book in her hands.

"Eldest Miss, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

After spending so much effort, how could Die'er not be angry that she still hadn't broken up the relationship between Prince and slut Tian?

Wei Qing looked up, "I never intended to separate the two of them!"

Die'er blinked her eyes in confusion. "Miss, what are you trying to do? Why am I so confused?"

Wei Qing crooked her little finger at her, and said in a low voice: "Since I have the chance, I will naturally tell you!"

Die'er pursed her lips, unwillingly taking the medicine bowl with her.

Wei Qing gazed into the distance, looking deep in thought.

Xiao Qingqian had a deep affection for Tian Sisi, and it was not something that could be lost easily.

This time, other than her stabbing injuries, everything else was planned by her and the Prime Minister Wei.

Just to punish Tian Sisi, if she did not restrain herself in the future, she would definitely make her suffer a pain that was hundreds of times heavier than this!

After three more days, Wei Qing had completely recovered. When Xiao Qingqian came over, she was doing stretching exercises in the courtyard.

The movement seemed to be strange, Xiao Qingqian frowned.

Sensing the burning gaze, Wei Qing stopped her movements and turned to look, "Your Highness, long time no see!"

These words were a very simple greeting, but in Xiao Qingqian's ears, it had completely changed.

The corner of her mouth raised as she looked at Wei Qing with a smile that was not a smile. "Princess Hua-Yang is jealous?"

"This King is also considered a phoenix among men. And back then, it was an imperial concubine who insisted on marrying This King. Isn't This King good enough?"

Wei Qing smiled even wider, "Die'er, prepare some tea for Your Highness."

He even said that he wasn't jealous of the other party? Just look, he was already preparing tea for him!

Originally, Xiao Qingqian had come today to inform Wei Qing that he would be going to Puhua Temple tomorrow, so he did not reject him and directly entered the chamber.

Wei Qing curled her lips as she watched Xiao Qingqian use the lid of the cup to wipe away the foam on it. "If you're afraid of me poisoning you, your highness, you can refuse to drink it!"

Xiao Qingqian frowned.

What exactly is going on with Wei Qing?

It looked like it was someone else, but it was clearly a person. Could it really be what Chen Cheng said, that she was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

With a "peng" sound, Xiao Qingqian heavily placed the teacup on the table. "Come with me to the Puhua Temple tomorrow!"

"Huh?" Wei Qing's face was filled with surprise, her eyes quickly turned as she said, "My prince, I'm dizzy, you should go find Concubine Tian!"

Xiao Qingqian coldly snorted, "If it wasn't to eliminate the rumors from before, you think this king would be willing to stay with you?"

"Oh!" Wei Qing nodded, "If that's really the case, then that's naturally for the best!"

Hearing that, the temperature around Xiao Qingqian suddenly dropped, "Wei Qing, you really don't care about face!"

Wei Qing blinked her eyes, touched her own face and smiled: "My prince, isn't my face here? Where is my face?"

"You!"

Xiao Qingqian's chest was wreathed in flames of anger and for some reason, he, who was clearly unfazed by any changes, was actually easily provoked by Wei Qing!

"Don't let This King wait for too long tomorrow!"

Seeing him flick his sleeves and leave with a belly full of anger, Wei Qing shouted at his back: "My prince, are you really not afraid that Concubine Tian will be hurt?"

Xiao Qingqian stopped and turned his head. As he locked his eyes on her, he sent a wave of inner force towards her.

Wei Qing glared at her, as though she had been bewitched, and did not dare move.

With a "hong" sound, a sharp inner force landed on the pillar and a deep hole appeared.

"Eldest Miss, you'd better not go against the Prince in the future!" Die'er looked at the deep hole in the pillar, her face pale!

Wei Qing was also shocked, she patted her chest, "I know what to do!"

Die'er looked at her similarly unsightly face and curled her lips. "How could Eldest Miss have any sense of propriety!"

Just as Wei Qing was about to rest, a shadow appeared in her chamber.

"Eldest Miss, Master heard that you are going to Puhua Temple with Your Highness tomorrow and is very worried!"

"I know, I know what I'm doing. Don't come in and out of here again. If he discovers you, then everything that happened before will make sense!"

"Your subordinate understands!" With that, the shadow disappeared. The candle flame flickered a few times, and everything returned to normal.

These were the secret guards the Prime Minister Wei had arranged for her, they were afraid that she would suffer losses.

The last time, Tian Sisi was unable to refute him because of this dark guard.

After it got dark, Wei Qing clenched her fists as she thought of going to the Puhua Temple with Xiao Qingqian tomorrow.

If she remembered correctly, the Puhua Temple was very far from the capital, and would probably stay there for the night.

After Wei Qing prepared a few things, she laid on the bed like fried dumplings, sleepless.

That night, Tian Sisi tried her best to not be able to persuade Xiao Qingqian to bring her to the Puhua Temple.

Xiao Qingqian kissed her forehead. "Si'er, the reason I went to Puhua Temple with Princess Hua-Yang was to eliminate all the rumors. You have always been a kind person, why are you so stubborn?"

Tian Sisi bit her lips as the tears in her eyes quickly became denser.

"Hiss!" Xiao Qingqian held her shoulders, "If you are really like this, then you are forcing this king to favor Wei Qing!"

Hearing that, Tian Sisi was startled.
