45 Coward Qing Zhu Ii (1/2)

Nan Xian frowned and shot Qing Zhu a glance. His tone was firm.

”You stay here to protect her.”

Qing Zhu had gooseb.u.mps. It did not dare to go against its master's command. It gave Feng Ruqing a stern glare.

Huh! It, Qing Zhu, was not afraid of a mere human. Could this human eat it for real?

”In this imperial palace, you must listen to her. If I get to know that you fail to protect her well…” Nan Xian's stare was sharp but he spoke calmly and with full authority.

Qing Zhu hid its head, feeling disgruntled it muttered, ”Master, she is not the previous princess anymore. I feel that she is scary. What if she bullies me after you leave? Do you have the heart to leave me, a pitiful small snake here?”

”I do.”

Nan Xian replied curtly which made Qing Zhu almost tear up.

As expected, since it was not a female snake, its master was unfair and did not like it.

Nevertheless, Nan Xian did not bother about Qing Zhu who almost teared up after his words. He turned his gaze to Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing replied with a 'yeah'.

”Do you need any help?”

”No need.” Feng Ruqing shook her head and smiled. ”It's just n.o.ble Consort Rong. It's not something that I cannot handle.”

Nan Xian did not utter a word but just stared at her.

When Feng Ruqing saw Nan Xian's stare, her heart skipped a beat as she just realized that she had used the wrong words.

The original owner trusted n.o.ble Consort Rong highly, but she had said something contradictory. No doubt, the state preceptor would be suspicious of her.

However, she wondered why she was able to loosen up in front of the state preceptor, so much so that she would just say out something unknowingly.
