Forced love, an inescapable fate

After Bai Yu delivered the food to Mu Qingli again as instructed, he returned to the equally dilapidated yard next door.

"Your Highness, the things have been delivered."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci did not look up, but continued to wipe the dagger in his hand, his tone indifferent.

"She's quite lucky. She's really worked hard to survive."

Bai Yu glanced at the young man in front of him. The young man had a smile on his face and his face was incredibly handsome. But although he was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes.

In the eyes of others, this handsome young man in front of them was weak, taciturn, and a hostage of Jing State who could be bullied by everyone.

But only he himself knows that everything he shows to others is an illusion.

In fact, he was brutal and cruel, like a ferocious beast hiding its fangs in the Qi royal palace. If one day he showed his fangs, I am afraid that the royal family of Qi would be in turmoil.

Bai Yu suppressed his emotions.

Then he added, "Your Highness, our people are ready. In a month at most, Your Highness will be able to escape safely from here."

Jiang Ci looked at the dagger in his hand and chuckled softly.

"A month, that's really slow."

Bai Yu felt a chill in his chuckle.

He lowered his head hastily.

"It is my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Only then did Jiang Ci put down the sword in his hand, and his tone became even colder.

"I've been here for so many years, so a month won't make a difference. But before I leave, I should give the Qi royal family some gifts to make sure they take good care of me all these years."

"By the way, keep an eye on the place next door for the time being. Don't let anyone get killed. She still has some use."

"My subordinate understands."

In the next few days, Bai Yu delivered food to Mu Qingli on time.

But Mu Qingli knew nothing about it. She just looked at the food delivered to her every day. She couldn't understand how this person could put the food at the door without her noticing.

As for other people, such as the third prince's maids, they had never come to the courtyard where she was, so she spent a few days in peace.

The wounds on her body were slowly scabbing over. She just ate and slept every day, so the wounds healed quickly.

When she felt a little better, she would come out to the yard to take a look, but every time she did, she felt heartbroken.

I don’t think I have to stay in this shabby place for the rest of my life. That would be really miserable.

Time flies by.

It has been more than half a month since she came here. The wound on her back has almost healed, but the scab is very itchy, so she forces herself not to scratch it.

That day, when she was fighting the strong itch, she heard several voices coming from outside.

She didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the sound was getting louder and louder. She couldn't help but be curious, so she finally opened the door. But the sound seemed to be coming from next door.

She thought of the handsome young man with ancient style she saw that night, the Sixth Prince Jiang Ci who Alan mentioned had come to Qi State with her as a hostage.

According to Alan's maid, the Sixth Prince Jiang Ci should be living next door. Judging from the noises, could it be that those people from the Qi royal family are looking for trouble with him again?

Thinking of the handsome boy being bullied, she wanted to save him, but when she thought of her current situation, she immediately lost her spirit.

Forget it. I can hardly protect myself, and I just came back from the gates of hell. Besides, I’m so small, I’m afraid I’ll be beaten to death again if I go out.

It’s better to have less trouble than more.

But the noise from next door was getting louder and louder, mixed with a lot of foul language.

As a model young person in modern society, it is a virtue to help others when seeing injustice. Moreover, how can we, who used to help an old lady crossing the street, just stand by and watch the bullying of the weak happening in this feudal society?

Besides, he is only thirteen years old and not yet an adult. How can I just leave him alone?

She finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked around the yard, and finally saw a wooden stick as thick as an arm in the corner.

When she held the wooden stick in her hand, she finally felt more confident.

Then he walked out of the door with a proud and confident look on his face.

When she approached the yard where the insults were coming from, she saw that the yard was full of people. She stumbled and threw the wooden stick in her hand away in fear.

Who could tell her that she was just a half-grown child and it was worth so many people coming?

Is it too late for me to leave quietly now?

But before she could think about it, the sound of the wooden stick in her hand falling to the ground successfully made the person in front of her turn around and look.

Everyone was surprised to see the man who had been beaten half to death appear here in good health.

Is this guy really that tough? He didn't die from such a serious injury and is still standing here in good health.

However, Mu Qingli was feeling a bit miserable at this moment. If he knew there were so many people around, he could put aside the idea of ​​helping others when he saw injustice.

And being stared at by so many eyes, she felt her legs go weak.

Walking through the crowd, Jiang Ci looked at the people behind him, with unclear emotions in his eyes.

Was she rushing over here to join them in bullying him? She was truly unyielding.

Because of her sudden appearance, everyone at the scene was a little stunned.

Until a woman in gorgeous clothes pushed through the crowd with a sneer on her face and stopped ten steps away from her.

Mu Qingli looked at the woman in front of him. She seemed to be about the same age as him. She was wearing a flowing goose yellow dress, which was quite gorgeous and made her look even more outstanding.

I thought this man should be the master of these palace maids and eunuchs.

In other words, she brought these people to cause trouble for Jiang Ci.

Although he had a face that looked quite good, the expression on his face at this moment was not very flattering. When he looked at himself, it was as if he was looking at something dirty.

The words are even more sarcastic.

"Mu Qingli, I didn't expect that my Third Brother's whip didn't kill you. You are so lucky. I used to think you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to seduce the Third Brother. You don't even look in the mirror to see what you look like. You still dream of becoming the Third Brother's concubine. Even if the Third Brother took a girl from the brothel, he wouldn't look down on you. Why, your injury hasn't healed yet, and you are so anxious to show your loyalty? It's a pity that the Third Brother didn't come today."

After hearing what she said, Mu Qingli felt that she needed to wipe the mouth of this foul-mouthed child. Although she was not a stunning beauty, she was still a dignified girl with a pretty face.

Since she can't speak human language, then teach her how to speak human language.

Mu Qingli calmly bent down to pick up the wooden stick that had fallen aside, and then carried it across his shoulder with great momentum.

Seeing this, everyone was even more surprised.

Could this guy have been beaten stupid?

Then, when everyone was still stunned, Mu Qingli spoke up: "Sister, who are you? Why are you barking here so early in the morning?"

After hearing her words, everyone in the yard was shocked.

Is she really crazy? This is His Majesty's most beloved Fifth Princess, and she dared to call her a dog.

After she finished speaking, the fifth princess Qi Anyao was so angry that she couldn't speak.
