Late at night, the lights in the study room of the East Palace were still on, and the man's handsome face was reflected in the candlelight. Bailiyou's eyes were heavy, his jade-like hands were crossed, and he was looking thoughtfully at the rice paper on the table.
Did he remember it wrong? Why was it different from before? He remembered that Mu Qingyan lost her virginity that night.
He rushed over tonight with the intention of rescuing her, but he never wanted to see her walk out of the room safely. He could clearly see what she did outside the window.
Thinking of the girl's panic-stricken eyes, which were obviously scared but still pretending to be calm, and the surprised look when she saw him, a string in Bailiyou's heart suddenly touched.
In his memory, she didn't like him. He could feel that every time she saw him, she always had fear and even disgust in her eyes, and she always faced him with an indifferent expression.
But tonight she was completely different. Her mood swings were a bit bigger, but what surprised him even more was her plot against Baili Qi.
He knew that she liked Baili Qi, but she fell in love with him miserably in her previous life. Bailiyou had a cold look on his brows, because this fiancée he had been engaged to since childhood was pretending to be another man in his heart.
But she actually...
Bailiyou's Adam's apple rolled, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that something had changed.
Thinking of what happened next, he felt cold all over and unconsciously clasped his hands.
This time, he must do it.
——
With the sound of water, the girl in the bathtub stood up, dried herself and put on light clothes, with drops of water dripping from her wet black hair.
Mu Qingyan wringed her hair with a handkerchief while thinking about what just happened.
The real temperature in her palm told her that this was all true and that she was truly reborn.
Tonight, she not only avoided tragedy, but also saved the palace's reputation.
A tear slowly slipped from her eyes. She stopped and stared blankly at the beautiful girl in the mirror. This was her most beautiful appearance, without Baili Qi's torture or the loss of her loved ones...
Recalling the pain she had experienced, Mu Qingyan couldn't help but burst into tears. She covered her face with her slender hands and cried quietly. Tears ran through her fingers and burned her heart.
After a long time, she calmed down and stared at herself in the bronze mirror with a fierce look in her eyes. This time, she must kill her enemy with her own hands!
She will never let the palace end up like the previous life, and she will never hurt His Highness the Crown Prince again.
Thinking of Bailiyou, Mu Qingyan suddenly realized what happened to Bailiyou's sudden appearance, and she suddenly sobered up a lot.
His Highness the Crown Prince never came here in his previous life, so why did he come here tonight?
Mu Qingyan thought about it and couldn't think of a reason. She just felt sleepy. She had experienced so many things just after she was reborn, and her body couldn't hold it any longer, and she was also drugged.
When I got up and walked to the bed, I subconsciously opened my mouth to call Qingya, but suddenly closed my mouth again.
She pursed her lips, took off her clothes, lay down, and fell asleep quickly.
Mu Qingyan slept very uneasily that night. All the events in her past life disturbed her, reappearing in her mind like a revolving lantern. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, but she couldn't wake up.
"Miss?"
Suddenly, Mu Qingyan opened her eyes and stood up, panting.
The person outside the house seemed to have heard the sound and shouted softly, "Miss?"
She frowned and looked at the door, and said in an annoyed tone: "Who is outside?"
"Miss, this slave is your new servant, Fenxiang. It's already broad daylight." Fenxiang's words were very helpless.
She was summoned by the prince early this morning and asked her to serve the young lady. Originally, she was only a third-class maid, and there were not many opportunities to see the young lady on weekdays. However, she did not expect that the prince actually asked her to be the young lady's personal maid.
But seeing that the sky was getting brighter and the lady hadn't woken up yet, she had no choice but to bravely wake her up.
Mu Qingyan was startled when she heard Fenxiang's cautious words. She subconsciously glanced at the window and saw that it was indeed bright. She was shocked and quickly stood up.
She had never been so sleepy.
"come in."
After receiving permission, Fenxiang opened the door, then closed it and walked to the bedroom where she saw a beautiful girl getting dressed quickly.
Fenxiang lost her mind a little, the lady is so beautiful.
Soon she came to her senses again and secretly cursed herself for daring to stare at the young lady, which was really disrespectful.
Mu Qingyan didn't need to say much, Fenxiang had already walked behind her and quickly changed her clothes. Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled with satisfaction.
He looked back at her, and his tone became much more cheerful, "Your name is Fenxiang?" The look was quite telling.
Fenxiang blushed and shyly responded, "Yes."
"It sounds familiar." Did she hear it somewhere?
"My servant was in the old prince's courtyard before, but now I have followed the prince's instructions and come to serve the young lady."
When she said this, she remembered that Mu Qingyan was the maid in her grandfather's courtyard, which made her feel more at ease.
Grandpa can never be wrong about people.
After washing up, Fenxiang's eyes were full of surprise. Even if the lady just dressed up simply, she was still very beautiful.
"Miss, do you need to pass on the food?"
Mu Qingyan shook her head, "No, let's go." She planned to go to her grandfather's courtyard.
Firstly, he wanted to see her, and secondly, he wanted to ask something. Thinking of his own way in his previous life, which hurt his grandfather's heart, Mu Qingyan felt uncomfortable.
Fenxiang just opened the door and was stunned when she saw the man in black in front of her.
"Mu Qi!" Mu Qingyan's eyes were full of genuine surprise. She remembered that Mu Qi was sent out by her father to do some work, and he didn't come back at this time.
Mu Qi knelt down with a bang and said very remorsefully: "My subordinate failed to protect the young lady, please punish me!" He deserved so much, the prince clearly asked him to protect the young lady, but except for the big mistake, Mu Qi did not
I dare to imagine that if His Highness succeeds, the young lady’s future will be ruined!
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan felt warm in her heart. Looking at his tired appearance, she thought that he had rushed to her just after he came back.
His tone couldn't help but soften, "I don't blame you, just get up."
Mu Qi was unmoved and seemed to have made up his mind to ask Mu Qingyan to punish him.
From the moment she was born, her grandfather began to train Mu Qi as her exclusive secret guard. When she was ten years old, Mu Qi, who was already twenty years old, came to her side. He has been loyal to her over the years and has never let her suffer any harm.
.
In addition to being drugged this time, it was also done while he was away. However, Mu Qi blamed herself for this incident in her previous life and voluntarily resigned from her position as the leader of the palace's secret guards. She remembered that when she was captured by Baili Qi and sent to heaven
When she was tortured in prison, Mu Qi tried every means to rescue her.
But later...
She never saw him again. Baili Qi was vicious and would not let him leave alive.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan's eyes turned slightly red. She looked down at Mu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly, "Mu Qi, I don't blame you for this, and I'm not injured. Get up."
"
Yes, she was not injured. The palm she pinched last night was intact as before when she took a bath. Although she was surprised, it was still a good thing.
