The entire Wu Shang City was his territory, so how dare that servant girl treated him that way? He would have his father and mother kill her!

The more Qi Yue thought about this, the happier he became. A smile appeared on his face.

“Mother, quickly, kill her!”

“Sure. Relax Yue"er, Mother will never let anyone wrong you ever again!” The empress lowered her head and caressed the little prince"s head with gentleness in her eyes.

Yes, her son should never suffer any grievance!

A murderous intent flashed in the empress"s eyes, which then turned into resolution…

At General Manor.

Lianyi was sitting in the yard, staring at the sky as she fell into deep thoughts. No one knew what she was thinking about.

A while later, a servant dashed through the door, panting as she announced, “Miss, the young master is back!”

Lianyi shuddered and got up from the stone bench immediately.

She was delighted that Feng Lianqing could return safely, but she was also afraid that he might expose the lies she had told…

Feng Lianqing always had a straightforward personality. If he exposed her, that would mean she had to bear the sin of lying to the emperor!

Soon, that familiar silhouette entered into Lianyi"s range of sight.

Lianyi composed herself and went over with a smile. “Big Brother Feng, you"re back!”

“Yeah.” Feng Lianqing glanced at Lianyi"s pale face suspiciously. “What"s wrong with you? Where"s Master?”

“The general has gone out. Big Brother Feng, did you come back alone? Is the little prince…” Lianyi chewed her lip.

Before she could finish asking, Feng Lianqing smiled.

“Everything went well. I"ve sent the little prince back to the palace.”

‘I"ve sent the little prince back to the palace? Sent back to the palace?"

Lianyi was trembling, almost falling to the ground. She took a deep breath, but it could not calm the panic inside her heart.

The little prince had been sent back to the palace…

What about her lie?

“Lianyi.” Feng Lianqing noticed her peculiar behavior. He frowned. “What"s wrong? Are you unhappy that the little prince has returned?”

Lianyi instantly regained her senses and forced a smile. “N- No, I was just too surprised. So the little prince is still alive. When he was taken away by the leopard, I thought…”

“Oh, it was nothing too serious. It"s all thanks to Miss Feng. She helped me save the little prince.” Feng Lianqing smiled. “If it weren"t for her, the little prince might have been a little more unfortunate.”

And because she had saved his life, the little prince wanted Feng Ruqing to escort him back no matter what. Just how little faith did the little prince have in General Manor?

Complicated emotions surged through Lianyi"s heart. She closed her eyes so no one could see the hatred in her gaze.

Feng Ruqing had saved the little prince!

Had she known that the little prince would come back alive, she never would have lied.

Unfortunately, a fired arrow would not return. The words she had spoken could not be taken back…

“Lianyi, what exactly is the matter? Did the empress and His Highness blame you for not rescuing the little prince?” Feng Lianqing thought Lianyi was acting strangely. He looked at her, feeling puzzled but sighed in the end and comforted her, “It"s okay. I was the one who had gone the wrong way and is unskilled when it comes to escorting that he ended up in danger. Now that the little prince is back home safe, everything"s fine now. You don"t have to worry too much.”

He paused before adding, “The little prince was just frightened at most. I will just get a scolding from Master, nothing more.”
