In Qingjiu"s chamber.

Two servants were standing as still as the mountains, guarding the door at the side hall.

Simply no one knew that a tiny little azure snake had glided into the chamber through the window"s gap.

Thud!

The azure snake fell into the chamber.

After shaking its head, the azure snake raised its head only to see Nan Xian lying on the bed.

“Mas…”

The azure snake was overjoyed. However, before it could finish its words, the sound of footsteps outside the door reached its ears. Hastily, the azure snake paused and hid underneath the bed.

The chamber"s door was pushed open, a pure and beautiful face came into sight.

With her snowy white robe floating in the wind, the young lady"s innocent gaze landed on the handsome young master in the bed. Her smile was faint and gentle.

“You all must take good care of him. I am attending the flower banquet. No one is allowed to step into this chamber during this period.”

Murong Yang was not a virtuous man. He might take this advantage to look for trouble. Fu Qingjiu would not allow this to happen.

Fu Qingjiu turned around resolutely.

“I will never allow anyone to hurt him…” This was the only thing Fu Qingjiu could promise him.

As soon as Fu Qingjiu finished speaking, she left. She did not even allow any servant to stay in the chamber. Hence, besides Nan Xian who had lost his consciousness, the azure snake was the only one, hiding beneath the bed in the chamber.

The azure snake had nearly exploded with anger. It knew from the beginning that Fu Qingjiu was not a virtuous lady. It turned out that she had actually fallen for Nan Xian because of his stunning face. Fu Qingjiu too was a princess, but she was far different.

‘Um… if I report this, will Her Highness stop threatening to make snake soup out of me in the future?"

The azure snake turned its head to look at Nan Xian. After pondering for a long while, it knew that it could hardly bring its master out as one could easily notice when it were to carry him out through the window.

Hence, the azure snake glided out, through the window, without even taking another glance at Nan Xian.

In the chamber, fragrant smoke lingered in the air.

Bang!

The azure snake slammed the door open and glided up to Feng Ruqing before bursting into tears.

“Your Highness, I have found Master.”

All of a sudden, Feng Ruqing opened her eyes and got up from the bed. Perhaps, she was overly agitated, she squeezed the azure snake"s neck. Suffocating, the azure snake"s eyes had nearly popped out of sockets.

“Your… Highness…” With great difficulty, the azure snake choked.

Feng Ruqing suddenly realized that she was squeezing the azure snake"s neck. She hurriedly loosened her grip and squeezed the azure snake at its seven-inch point where the snake"s heart was located.

Dumbfounded, the azure snake had always felt that Feng Ruqing wanted to kill it.

“Your Highness, could you please loosen your grip? I can"t speak.”

“Oh. I am sorry. I didn"t mean it.” Feng Ruqing smiled awkwardly.

Once Feng Ruqing had loosened her grip, the azure snake subconsciously backed away, keeping a safe distance.

“Your Highness, that master is in the place that you have mentioned. By the way, the princess of Haitian Kingdom must have something evil in mind. She seems to have fallen for Master"s beautiful face. However, she is ugly. My master would never fall for her.”

“That said… has Nan Xian always judged people solely by their appearance?” Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes.

“How is that possible?” The azure snake almost leaped in shock.

“My master is not that kind of person! Your Highness, you were so overweight back in those days, but you have always been on my master"s mind.”
