The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

The last rays of sunset sank into the western hills and night fell.

The princess got off the carriage, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was ashen, and she almost tripped over the threshold when she passed through the door.

Concubine Lu was quick to pull her aside and said worriedly, "Don't worry, madam. The princess will be blessed by heaven. No news now is the best news."

"I know, I just feel sorry for her..." The princess burst into tears again, "Why does my good daughter have so many misfortunes?"

As mothers, Concubine Lu felt a pang of sadness when she heard this. She carefully helped the princess over the threshold and went into the mansion.

Wu Caixue pulled Rong Qiao and followed behind.

Rong Qiao curled his lips when he heard this and muttered softly: "She deserves it for bullying my sister."

Wu Caixue covered his mouth with her hand and warned him with her eyes not to talk nonsense.

Rong Qiao snorted in dissatisfaction, but still kept his mouth shut.

Wu Caixue looked at the princess's exhausted figure, pursed her lips, her face expressionless, but her heart very happy.

The princess’ only hope is gone. If she can’t bear it anymore, she might follow Rong Heqing. Then the position of princess will be vacant and she can fight for it.

She was just fantasizing with joy when, after passing through the hanging flower gate in the backyard, she saw a familiar figure with his back to them, looking up and counting the stars.

The princess stopped walking suddenly, opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and called out, "Qing'er?!"

"Princess?" Concubine Lu was also confused and blinked hard.

Both of them suspected that they were seeing things.

The person turned around and smiled sweetly when he heard the voice. It was Rong Heqing.

"Are you back?"

She walked forward quickly, held the princess's hand and looked her over, "Is mother okay?"

"I'm fine. How come...how come you came back before us? Didn't Ji'er say you fell off a cliff?"

The princess held Rong Heqing's hand and looked at her carefully from head to toe. Seeing that she had changed her clothes, she asked anxiously, "Are you injured? What happened?"

"It's a long story. Let's go in first." Rong Heqing helped her walk to the main hall and glanced at Wu Caixue. "Is Concubine Wu unhappy to see me? Why do you have such a stern face?"

The princess's eyes immediately stabbed like a knife.

Wu Caixue was startled, and managed a smile, "My princess, you are joking. I was too surprised and couldn't react for a while. My princess is indeed blessed by God."

This is not dead?!

How could this happen when not even a scratch is done?

"Oh, you're the best." The princess glared at her coldly, then pulled Rong Heqing and quickly walked into the main hall.

The maids quickly brought them hot tea to calm them down. The lights in the main hall were on, and everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed after returning to the familiar place.

Rong Heqing sat down next to the princess and wiped her face with a handkerchief. The princess couldn't help but blush, "You scared me to death!"

"My daughter didn't do it on purpose." Rong Heqing smiled, "I won't do it again next time."

"There won't be a next time!" The princess patted her, her eyes filled with anger but unable to hide her joy.

Rong Heqing did not respond. It was hard to say whether there would be a next time. After all, the system still owed her a shield.

999: [??? Host, where is your face?]

Rong Heqing pretended not to hear and asked curiously, "Why don't you see big brother?"

Didn’t she save the person?

"Your eldest brother sent us back and then went to find you with your father." said the princess.

Concubine Lu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been in a state of despair all the way. Now that she has met the princess, she seems to have found her backbone and is now in high spirits."

After saying that, she stood up, lifted her skirt towards Rong Heqing, and knelt down straight.

Rong Heqing was startled and quickly stood up to avoid her, "What is Concubine Lu doing?"

"Ji'er has told me that it was because of the princess's sacrifice that he was able to save his life. Otherwise, he would have fallen. I have no way to repay your kindness. Please accept my greetings, princess!"

She folded her hands in front of her forehead and was about to kowtow. Rong Heqing quickly held her arms and pulled her up. "Concubine Lu, you are really embarrassing me! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Not to mention that the person standing there is my eldest brother, even if he was a stranger, I would not stand by and watch him die. You don't have to do this!"

"No." Concubine Lu looked sincere and firm, "You saved my son. I am thanking you as a mother. Please don't refuse, Princess."

Seeing her like this, Rong Heqing looked at the princess for help.

The princess nodded and said, "If you don't accept such a great favor, she will feel uneasy."

Rong Heqing had no choice but to let go of Concubine Lu and watched her kowtow to him.

Then she quickly pulled the man up.

The princess finally smiled and said, "Someone, go tell the prince and the eldest son that the princess is back and is fine. Tell them to return home quickly!"

"Yes!"

The guards responded and left. Rong Heqing glanced at the people whose clothes were disheveled and advised them to go back and take a bath and change clothes first.

This appearance was indeed indecent, so the princess and the others went back to their respective courtyards to wash up.

Rong and Qing sat in the armchairs and waited quietly.

Half an hour later, King Annan and Rong Ji came striding over one after the other.

Rong Heqing put down the teacup and stood up to greet him: "Father, big brother!"

"Qing'er?! Are you okay?"

King Annan walked quickly into the main hall and looked at her with surprise and joy.

Rong Ji's eyes were red. Seeing her standing here intact, he couldn't help but turn his head away, blinked quickly, turned back, and hugged Rong Heqing, "Sister, I'm sorry."

"I'm fine, don't worry. After I fell off the cliff, I was fortunately rescued by a master. I landed safely without any injuries. I told the master my identity and he sent me back."

Rong Heqing gently pushed Rong Ji, and Rong Ji let go of her a little embarrassedly, saying excitedly: "I'm glad you're okay."

"Who is this master? What's your name? Where is he now?" King Annan asked repeatedly.

Rong Heqing: "The master left before he even reached the palace gate."

Hearing this, King Annan was obviously a little disappointed, "Why didn't you invite the master to have a meal before leaving? Dad could thank him too!"

She thought so, in fact she didn't even know when she came back.

After reaching a consensus at the foot of the cliff, she asked Pojun to take her out. As a result, Pojun chopped her down with a knife and knocked her unconscious. Before she lost consciousness, she only vaguely heard him say, "Sorry, this is safer."

Then she knew nothing. When she opened her eyes, she was in the carriage, and the moment she got off was the palace.

Her neck still hurts a little now.

Facing the expectant look of King Annan, she had to make up an excuse, "The master has a temper and doesn't want to get involved with us too much. He just told us to remember that we owe him a favor and he will come to ask for it if he needs us in the future."

King Annan nodded thoughtfully, "It should be."

"Brother, how are you? How did you get back after I fell off the cliff? Did the killers catch me alive?"

Rong Ji came and went in a hurry, without having time to change his clothes. His body was covered with bloodstains, which looked quite horrifying.

There were wounds on his arms and chest, but they had all been bandaged so it was hard to tell how deep the wounds were. However, it was enough to show that the battle was fierce.

Speaking of killers, Rong Ji's face turned darker than the sky outside. He gritted his teeth and said, "We caught a few, but they all committed suicide by taking poison. No one was left alive."

"Doesn't that mean the clue is broken?" Rong Heqing was a little worried.

"Who said there were no survivors?"

Rong Heqing was startled and immediately looked back.
