The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

If this isn't love, then what is?

When you love someone, your eyes and feelings cannot be hidden.

Hu Luanfei didn't know how his expression changed at this moment. Just talking about Qi Siliao, his whole personality changed, as if he had obtained the unreachable stars, and his face was full of light.

Qi Sili looked absentmindedly at Hu Luanfei, who was so happy that she was lost. He was confused and flustered, but he was unwilling to speak out his thoughts. He just casually brought up a topic to reminisce about the past, "I heard that you and Miss Jiang had a conflict?"

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but the coldness in his tone made Hu Luanfei's heart tremble.

"She started the fight, and I accepted the challenge and won."

"Since you have won, why don't you give face to the Duke's Mansion?"

Hu Luanfei was a little slow to react. He paused, frowned and asked him, "Why?"

"Jiang Sansi is a veteran of three dynasties. I respect him very much."

Ah…

“But he doesn’t respect me.”

"What are you worthy of?" He looked at her coldly. "You were originally my imperial maid, and you were able to marry me because I granted you a marriage. Apart from the title of 'Princess Zhan', how can you be qualified to be respected by Duke Jiang?"

That tone... was very contemptuous.

He is just like Duke Jiang. A servant is a servant. No matter how well you do, in their eyes, you are still someone who is not presentable.

Hu Luanfei lowered his eyes, thinking of Qi Sili's affectionate words in Taohua Village, and felt sorry for the original owner.

As if afraid that she would think too much, Qi Sili suddenly said affectionately: "No matter what others say about you, in my eyes, you are unique and different."

She turned her head away from his touch, not taking his words seriously, "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"stop!"

He shouted and Hu Luanfei stopped.

The approaching figure and stern expression created a strong sense of oppression, which made people feel fearful.

"Your Majesty, you still have..."

Before he could utter the word "thing", he was clamped down by him.

His powerful hands tightly embraced her waist, and the thumb of his other hand rubbed her injured lower lip sharply.

The pain from the split wound spread, stimulating the nerves, and her pretty face turned pale.

"Is he nice to you?" He had a calm smile on his face.

This move came so swiftly and without any warning, leaving people completely powerless to defend themselves.

Hu Luanfei stared at him, as if he had been acupunctured and could not move.

As luck would have it, I heard footsteps behind me and I didn't know who was coming over at this time.

But no matter who it was, it was of no benefit to her.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself."

He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I want to see if he can accept you being favored by me."

Could the person coming be Qi Siriao?

That's not okay, it's not allowed!

I can’t let him see my plight, I can’t…

As he struggled, mist gathered in his eyes and his whole body began to tremble with anxiety because of his actions.

Instead of restraining himself, he slowly lowered his head when the person who came stopped.

nausea!

Disgusting!

The handsome face with a hint of evil came closer and closer, his breath blowing on her face. The breath, which was different from Qi Siriao's, stirred up a huge wave in her stomach for no reason, making her unable to hold back her nausea and retching.

Qi Sili pushed her away swiftly, his face gloomy and speechless.

At that moment, great panic and fear surged from her heart, making her scream.

Just when she was about to fall to the ground, a breeze suddenly blew, and a figure arrived in an instant, standing behind her like a towering tree, and caught her steadily.

"Cough cough!" Because of his quick movements, the man vomited a large amount of blood while hugging her.

The familiar smell dispelled all the uneasiness. Hu Luanfei stood up with tears in her eyes and helped wipe the blood from his lips. "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

"No problem..."

After saying that, he coughed up another pool of blood.

She was completely panicked.

Tears fell down her cheeks, and she held his cheeks, at a loss.

Qi Siliao was powerless to comfort him: "Don't worry..."

He lost consciousness before he could finish his words.

Hu Luanfei panicked and shouted anxiously, "Prince!"

A shocking roar attracted the palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside, including Jiang Shi.

He rushed out and helped her hold up the unconscious Qi Siliao.

However, no one dared to leave without Qi Sili's permission.

Hu Luan looked at the most noble man in the world eagerly, her eyes seemed to contain a sea, constantly overflowing with water, "Please ask the emperor to summon the imperial physician..."

Whether he had feelings or didn't want to be seen as a tyrant, he immediately ordered others with a sullen face, "Approved."

Finally, after diagnosis by the imperial physician, it was found that Qi Siliao's anger triggered his old illness, so he was sent back to Prince Zhan's palace to recuperate. He was even unable to attend the emperor's birthday party which was celebrated by the whole country.

Hu Luanfei originally thought that since her husband was seriously ill, she could stay quietly in the house and think about life. Unexpectedly, Qi Sili was not going to let her go and insisted on issuing an imperial decree to let her replace Qi Siliao to attend the banquet in the palace.

The scene of yesterday was still vivid in her mind. She was so scared that she was about to cry. She looked at the man in front of the desk with wet eyes, her voice trembling, "Can I not go?"

Qi Si Liao raised his eyes and softened his voice unconsciously, "What are you afraid of? I am here."

Seeing her expression that looked like she was about to cry, and thinking about how she was frightened because of what happened yesterday, he sighed and walked over to her, "As long as you have breath left, I will never let you face him alone again."

"You yesterday..." She bit her lip and lowered her brows when she was almost kissed by Qi Sili. "I don't have any feelings for him."

Qi Si Liao chuckled unceremoniously, "I believe you."

"Why?" Seeing your woman being held in the arms of another man, don't you feel a little jealous?

When Hu Luanfei thought of his generosity, his mood became depressed.

She hung her head, looking a little sad.

Qi Siliao understood her little thoughts, gently embraced her in his arms, and said something that Hu Luanfei would never forget in her life.

"No matter whose hands you are in, or what happens to you, this king hopes that you will live."

"Are you saying this because of my talent?"

Qi Siliao paused for a moment, in a daze, "Why do you say that?"

Hu Luanfei answered truthfully: "Because apart from this, there is nothing else that can make you miss me."

"You are very smart." He admitted indirectly, but there was a complex and inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

She couldn't figure it out, and hearing the answers from his mouth was like a knife cutting her heart.

"Do you know how stupid you look right now?"

His slightly sarcastic voice made her thoughts go blank.

I don't want to say anything, I don't want to ask, I don't want to admit, and I don't want to leave.

Because he once risked his life to save her...

Suddenly, she understood something and looked at him with wide eyes.

At that time, she was just a resentful woman, but he still stayed with her and chose to die in exchange for her life in a dangerous moment. With such a spirit, how could he only value her talent? After all, before she was with him, she was a maid in front of the emperor and had an unclear relationship with Qi Sili. No one believed that she was still a virgin, but he did not despise her...

"If I was really insulted, you..."

"Then I will use my own way to remove the traces of filth."
