Time Travel and Love

Chapter 124: 3 Minutes of Silence

After entering the palace, Chu Qingmeng could only wear her old makeup every day, fearing that she would be discovered. Until one day, Feiling dog came to her side stealthily and whispered something. Chu Qingmeng looked up at him, twitched her lips, and asked, "You didn't do anything to him, did you?"

"Master Jiu, I dare not do that. After all, he is someone close to you. I just want to lock him up for a few days and treat him well. There is no other way. There are too few people close to you. I wanted to pretend to be your maid, but she really doesn't go out." Kui Wenzhong was also quite helpless. Only Fei Ling could barely meet the requirements.

"Puff!" Chu Qingmeng spat out a mouthful of tea, and then said to him viciously, "If you dare to touch my maid, I will kill you! I rely on her for my makeup! I can't go out without her!"

"Master, I don't know how to do makeup, but Shuang Cheng knows how. If things are urgent, you can let him take the maid's place." Kui Wenzhong bowed slightly. "I didn't want to move Fei Ling because he knows some martial arts. Replacing the maid is to replace the non-martial arts people around the master."

Chu Qingmeng twitched his lips, "Does that person who falls down at the slightest gust of wind know martial arts?"

"The double-range hidden weapon is unparalleled in the world." Kui Wenzhong gave a very high evaluation.

"Feiying and Feiling grew up together, so be careful not to reveal your true identity. Also, the address should be changed. Call me Master, or Princess."

"Master, don't worry."

Chu Qingmeng nodded, and Fei Ling immediately disappeared into the darkness.

Zhen Feiling, who was in the dungeon at the moment, was completely bewildered. "No, if you're going to torture me, then go ahead and ask me! Why are you just throwing me in there, treating me well and then not letting me out?"

She had been bored in the courtyard for three days in peace and quiet. The old princess knew her situation and exempted her from the morning and evening visits. She never left the courtyard on weekdays and sat in the pavilion during the day. When she felt really bored, she asked Chunhe to ask Li to bring her granddaughter over to play. On this day, Li and Xu were playing with little Mingwei when Fei Ling came over and bowed to signal Chu Qingmeng to clear the room. Li and Xu stood up to leave, but Chu Qingmeng stood up and patted their shoulders, "Sit down and play for a while. I'll be back soon."

Chu Qingmeng walked to the corridor to the side, and Fei Ling immediately whispered back, "Master, the second elder has sent a message that the palace has hired more than a hundred shadows on the fifth floor to protect the palace's female relatives."

"Shadow?" Chu Qingmeng was curious about this name.

"Yes, the fifth floor not only accepts assassination work, but also protection work. The protector is called a shadow, but the shadow only protects people and does not kill them. Killing is a different price. In addition, the third master of the palace has paid a special fee to hire a killer from the fifth floor to be by your side to protect you."

"..."

"In this case, I will just let the second one come over to replace the killer and guard the master."

"Fei Ling was so unlucky—only three days." Chu Qingmeng suddenly realized that Fei Ling was truly unlucky. If he had held on for three more days, he wouldn't have been replaced by Kui Wenzhong. "Let's observe three minutes of silence for Fei Ling. His 'death' was truly unjust."

"Um...that master is still here. Looking at the current situation, we don't need to come all together. Let's see how things develop. I've noticed that the palace's secret guards have secretly eliminated quite a few people over the past two days, but they've suffered quite a few casualties. Otherwise, they wouldn't have hired a shadow on the fifth floor. If the situation gets too serious in a few days, they might replace the two maids beside you at any time."

"Just make your own arrangements. Just don't hurt them."

"Master, don't worry." Fei Ling had just finished reporting when he saw Fei Ying and his second brother coming over. He reminded Chu Qingmeng, "Fei Ying is here."

Chu Qingmeng turned around and saw Feiying and Kui Wuqing approaching. "Who is this?"

"My lord, these are the people that the Third Master arranged to be by your side. Things have been a bit turbulent these days, so the more people protecting you, the better," Feiying replied.

Just as he finished speaking, Mo Liujin came over and said, "Qing Meng, things are going to get increasingly uneasy these next few days. This person will be following you all the time, but they won't leave your side unless you tell them to. So you better stay quiet and don't try to get rid of them anymore."

Chu Qingmeng glanced at him proudly, then looked at Kui Wuqing and asked, "What's your name?"

"Viper."

Chu Qingmeng: "..." Hehe, Wu Qing, your nickname is really, uh, unique! Can't you come up with a nice name? Chu Qingmeng gave him a look of disdain.

Kui Wuqing: "..." What's with Jiu Ye's sudden disgust?

At this time, Li and Xu also came over with Xiao Mingwei. After paying their respects to Mo Liujin, they took their leave. Chu Qingmeng returned to the pavilion and sat down. Chunhe served them tea. Kui Wuqing stood aside like a wall, his shadow and spirit hidden in the shadows.

"Qingmeng, if you are really bored, you can go for a walk in your second brother's yard. At this time, your second sister-in-law has already paid her respects and returned to her own yard." Mo Liujin saw that she had not left the yard for several days. Even if she missed her grandchildren, she would let her two daughters-in-law bring the children over. She herself stayed in the house and the pavilion every day and did not go anywhere else.

Chu Qingmeng shook his head. "Less trouble is worse than more. If I miss Lingxue, I will send someone to call her over."

Mo Liujin stood up and hugged her, gently stroking her long hair. He felt sorry for her lively personality and how she was now confined to the yard every day, not daring to take a single step. "Just bear with it. When this is over, I'll take you to do whatever you want, okay?"

Chu Qingmeng nodded in his arms and also put her arms around his waist.

Kui Wuqing endured and held his knife tightly. He was afraid that he could not bear it any longer and would be chopped by these two people. He really couldn't get used to these two people's oblivious behavior!
