C31 (1/2)

Zi Lan had told her before.

Feng Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief.

On the lintel of the door outside the room, even with the protection of the two lanterns, Feng Xiwu could still see the darkness in the distance.

Just like they were right now.

When Qu Jingxi pushed open the door and returned to his room, he saw that Feng Xiwu was sleeping soundly under the covers. A faint blush appeared on her white face, making her look even more petite and charming.

Qu Jingxi bent over to look at her sleeping appearance for a good while, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile, and he finally got up and went to take a bath.

Feeling the somewhat cold air seeping into his blanket, Feng Xiwu, who was preoccupied with his thoughts, opened his eyes. What he saw was a white figure beside him seeping into his quilt.

Very quickly, the door was pushed open, and a dozen or so servant girl s quickly entered the room, followed by a few patrolling guards.

Everything happened too suddenly. When Feng Xiwu saw the Marquis' face, she finally understood what happened. Qu Jingxi, on the other hand, was baffled by her cry of surprise.

He quickly hugged the little girl in his arms when he realized that the one who came in was the guard.

Zi Lan and the other two who had just entered were even more confused. Just as they laid down, they heard the consort's voice, followed by a dense amount of footsteps, thinking that something was wrong as they hurriedly rushed over.

The entire room went silent for three seconds. Everyone looked at each other, then fell to their knees in unison.

Everyone understood what was going on. They thought that an assassin had entered the prince's mansion, which was why they had come all the way here. However, they had never thought that they would ruin the good fortune of their prince.

He had thought that they had met an assassin, so he had led the group of people into the courtyard without thinking too much about it.

At this moment, Zhu Qi was kneeling in front of everyone. He was sweating profusely because he knew that he had committed something wrong, but he did not know what to say.

The guards behind him all lowered their heads, afraid that they would see something that they shouldn't have.

”All of you, leave.”

Qu Jingxi looked at the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart. Although the edge of the bed was separated by a veil, who knew if someone would stare without blinking.

Moreover, no matter what, it was not good for so many men to be here, not to mention the fact that she was only wearing this little.

As soon as he gave the order, the rustling footsteps became quiet and even the door was gently closed.

At this time, Qu Jingxi finally pushed away the little girl in his arms. Feng Xiwu lowered her eyes in annoyance, the redness in her ears had not faded yet.

Qu Jingxi looked outside uncertainly, and after confirming that everyone had left, he turned towards the person in front of him.

”What were you screaming about? This King frightened you? ”
