C193 (2/2)
Xiao Qingqian seriously sized her up, as if he wanted to see through her heart with those pair of starry eyes of hers. However, it was as if a layer of mist was shrouded in her eyes, making him unable to see through her.
”Are you all right now?”
”No more suffering?”
”Why must you feel uncomfortable? People who are not worth it should forget as soon as possible, otherwise, the one who will be injured can only be themselves. ”
Someone who wasn't worth it …
He repeated the words in his heart and raised his eyebrows. ”That makes a lot of sense.”
”Rest earlier.” Wei Qing took out the silver needles and checked his pulse, ”It's getting better and better.”
Xiao Qingqian slightly raised the corner of his mouth as he watched her leave.

In the distant capital of the Southern Kingdom.
Just as Princess He Yue was about to rest, a loud piercing sound could be heard as a dagger pierced through the door. Her expression changed as she bravely rushed to the door and pulled the dagger out.
There was another letter on the dagger. She hesitated before she closed the door again.
The letter was very simple, it was only a few sentences, but it made her feel abnormally sad.
Her father had told her that the future of the Prince Qi was limitless, and she had to properly support him. But tonight, the letter had told her a fact — — Chu Yin already had someone he liked, and that person was the Prince Chu's consort, Wei Qing!
It was fine for him to like anyone, and it was also normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, but he definitely couldn't like a married woman!
After reading the letter again, he placed it by the candle flame.
The orange tongue of flame quickly licked the envelope, and very quickly, the flames became larger, almost reaching her slender fingers.

The sky turned white. It was a beautiful day.
Wei Qing woke up early in the morning and started running around the courtyard.
His voice woke Xiao Qingqian up. He went to the window and looked at her as she returned to her normal state. The corner of his mouth slightly lifted.
As long as she could understand it, he would use all his strength and believe that Wei Qing would eventually open his heart for him.
Felerol saw that Wei Qing was running in the morning, and couldn't help but be interested as he jogged behind Wei Qing.
”Wei Qing, you seem to be different from before!”
Wei Qing frowned, ”How is it different?”
”It seems...” Felerol didn't know how to describe it, but it was indeed tiring for a Sea Country like him to say all this. When he saw a butterfly, he smiled, ”That's the feeling!”
”Transform?” Wei Qing jogged in place and frowned.
”Right, it's like a cicada's chrysalis turning into a beautiful butterfly. You are now even more charming than before!”
Wei Qing laughed, and her gaze was fixated on that dazzling and beautiful butterfly for a long time, ”Life is filled with scenery, I should watch more!”
Felerol laughed brightly, ”Then in the future, I can come to Sea Country to see. I can be your guide!”
”Sea Country is very beautiful, right?” Wei Qing's eyes shone with yearning.
Wei Qing stopped running at her original position, and started to want to go to the Sea Country to have a look.
Xiao Qingqian had been standing at the window watching Wei Qing's expression attentively the entire time, but seeing that her eyes were unfocused, she could not help but let out a light cough.
He had just used a trick to drive away a Chu Yin, and this Felerol had also joined in the fun.
Hearing the soft cough, Wei Qing and Felerol both looked towards Xiao Qingqian who was standing by the window.
Xiao Qingqian looked at the two of them. ”If this king wants to go to Sea Country, I wonder if you, Felerol, will welcome me?”
Felerol felt the enmity in Xiao Qingqian's eyes, and looked at Wei Qing with hidden intentions in his eyes, before smiling: ”Of course you're welcome, you're Wei Qing's husband!”
