On this side, Tian Xinyue was crying in despair in the dark and damp dungeon, and on the other side, Nangong Qing had already returned to Mo Yuxuan with Li Zhenting to have tea.

"What, are you scared?"

Nangong Qing picked up the teacup, scraped the tea and gently blew away the foam on the tea leaves, tilted his little head, blinked his bright peach blossom eyes and asked with a smile.

In front of Li Zhenting, she cut off the tongue of her servant and killed two assassins directly. In his eyes, she must be a demon from hell.

Now he must be eager to divorce her.

She was actually looking forward to it. When she thought about living with her mother and Xin'er, eating, drinking tea, reading and admiring flowers every day, without having to deal with a group of masked people, without having to worry or calculate, she felt relaxed.

However, Li Zhenting's words surprised her.

"They deserve to die! Shangshenglou is notorious and has been responsible for the deaths of countless innocent people. As long as we get enough silver, we will kill you all, regardless of whether you are an innocent civilian or a high-ranking official!"

According to the rules of Shangshenglou, failure to complete the mission can only be punished by suicide, so the killers must find a way to complete the mission at all costs. Letting them go will only lead to endless trouble.

Nangong Qing was a little helpless, which meant that he quite appreciated her approach.

"The people from Shangsheng Tower have never failed. Since I didn't return to report after entering the palace, they will naturally not let me go. I must be more vigilant when traveling in the future..."

Hearing Li Zhenting say this, Nangong Qing suddenly showed a playful smile on his face.

She smiled slyly, tilted her little face up and said teasingly.

"Your Highness, are you reminding me with these words? Your Highness cares about me because I am a skilled doctor and can be of some use, or because you care about me?"

As the words came out of her mouth, she saw a blush on Li Zhenting's face, and even the roots of his ears turned red. He stood there stiffly without saying a word, which made her so happy that her cherry lips parted slightly, revealing two rows of white scallops, and the smirk on her face became more and more obvious.

He was a prince with great military achievements, but he was so thin-skinned that he couldn't even withstand the temptation of words. When he succeeded to the throne, he would have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. How could such a pure and innocent boy like him indulge in so many women?

Hehe, since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well train him well now so that he won’t be confused and lost when surrounded by beautiful girls in the future.

"Hehe, what do you think about the matter of concubines, Your Highness? Do you want two, three, or four? Your Highness, please rest assured. I promise to satisfy you. Before I divorce Your Highness, the matter of concubines will definitely be settled. After all, hehe..."

Seeing that Li Zhenting's face was getting redder, Nangong Qing laughed out loud and left.

For some reason, she just loved seeing him, mortified and angry, yet helpless against her. After all, in all her travels through so many dimensions, she'd never encountered someone so prim, yet innocent, with such a complex personality. It was quite amusing.

What she didn't know was that as she left, a pair of deep, dark eyes had been fixed on her. The fists hanging at her sides relaxed, and a smile inexplicably appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Although she bore the face of Nangong Qing, her words, actions, and personality were definitely not Nangong Qing's. She was a skilled martial artist with mysterious medical skills, yet she was also unpredictable. She appeared harmless but was actually ruthless, yet she loved saving people. She was truly an unpredictable little demon...

"Second Senior Brother, you've got a beautiful woman in your arms, and you can't even care about your brothers? Second Sister-in-law has already left, and you're still here watching? If you're so affectionate, why let Second Sister-in-law live in Lengyue Pavilion? Wouldn't it be more wonderful to let Second Sister-in-law live in Moyuxuan and accompany you day and night..."

Bai Lianyi and Xuan Qingshan walked out from the inner room, both of them grinning and laughing heartily.

Honestly, after watching Nangong Qing's behavior over the past two days, the two of them were completely impressed by Nangong Qing, their second sister-in-law. The skinny little girl worked very efficiently, and without even blinking, she could quickly and accurately complete what Li Zhenting wanted to do.

Judging from the way Nangong Qing raised his sword and slashed it to kill the man in black, it was obvious that he was a martial artist. Even they couldn't match his skills!

In this whole world, apart from Nangong Qing, they really don’t know who else can be worthy of the Second Senior Brother!

"Stop joking, you two. Help me with my business. Nangong Qing has always acted unconventionally, and now he's injured someone from Shangsheng Tower. If word gets out, I'm afraid they'll be targeting us. I beg you two junior brothers to keep protecting me in the dark..."

Li Zhenting raised his fist solemnly.

"Got it, sir. Go right away!"

The two brothers grinned and made faces, then quickly used their lightness skills to leave.

Nangong Qing returned to Lengyue Pavilion and ate the osmanthus cake and crab roe pastry made by Tong'er with satisfaction.

God knows how good Tong'er's cooking skills are. Just because she said she wanted to eat snacks, she made so many small desserts. She even made some petal-shaped egg cakes for her according to her description!

The egg cake is decorated with flowers, which makes it look delicious and fragrant.

Nangong Qing ate with such satisfaction that Tong'er's eyes narrowed into two small crescents. She sat beside Nangong Qing, nibbling on the egg cake, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"How did the princess know this recipe? I tried it according to the recipe the princess gave me, and it worked!"

"Good Tong'er, didn't I tell you that I dreamed of an old immortal? That old immortal not only taught me self-defense martial arts, but also taught me medicine and cooking. These recipes were all given to me by the old immortal... By the way, Tong'er, how did you bake the egg cake?"

Nangong Qing was also very confused. This egg cake had to be baked, but where could one find an oven in this day and age?

"The princess likes it, so Tong'er will naturally find a way to make it... I'll just heat the pan in the small kitchen, carefully monitoring the temperature, and turn it over as soon as one side is golden brown. That's it!"

Tong'er was so happy to receive the princess' praise that her face turned red.

Nangong Qing was a little touched. Although Tong'er said it lightly, using an iron pan as an oven to bake egg cakes was not an easy task. If you were not careful, the cakes would be burnt or scorched. It was the height of summer, and Tong'er had to lie on the iron pan all the time. How hot would that be...

"Tong'er, is your hand burned?"

Only then did Nangong Qing notice that there were several blisters on Tong'er's right hand. She was shocked and hurriedly got up and ran into the house. When she came back, she had a tube of ointment in her hand.

She took the ointment and gently applied it to Tong'er's burned area, asking with a distressed look on her face.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. The princess likes the snacks made by Tong'er. Tong'er is very happy..."

The two beautiful young girls holding hands and chatting here didn't notice at all that there were two people on the roof opposite looking at them...
