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 Yueer, Mother will never let anyone wrong you ever again!" The empress lowered her head and caressed the little princes head with gentleness in her eyes. Yes, her son should never suffer any grievance!

A murderous intent flashed in the empresss 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 Lianyis range of sight.

Lianyi composed herself and went over with a smile. "Big Brother Feng, youre back!"

"Yeah." Feng Lianqing glanced at Lianyis pale face suspiciously. "Whats wrong with you? Wheres 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. Ive sent the little prince back to the palace."

Ive 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. "Whats 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. Its all thanks to Miss Feng. She helped me save the little prince." Feng Lianqing smiled. "If it werent 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 Lianyis 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, "Its 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, everythings fine now. You dont 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."
