Fang Qingyou was taken aback at first, then suddenly laughed: "Eighth Prince, do you think all women covet the position of concubine? If you let me choose, I would choose freedom."

That smile, so mocking, so disdainful, so indifferent.

Like a knife, it ripped open Luo Qianmo's heart.

"Fang Qingyou, you are very good."

Luo Qianmo's eyes were as black as ink, a deep, dark halo spreading out.

In that instant, Luo Qianmo's arm stiffened with rage, losing its restraining power.

Fang Qingyou, sensing Luo Qianmo's change, seized the opportunity to slip out of his embrace.

Then, Fang Qingyou stood at a distance, her gaze calm but still filled with lingering fear. She held the silver needle tightly in her hand, and a bewitching pill appeared in the palm of her other hand.

Knowing that Luo Qianmo was capable of anything, Fang Qingyou was well-prepared this time.

Having suffered a loss once, she couldn't let herself suffer another.

If Luo Qianmo dares to do anything to her again, this bewitching pill will surely make him sleep until tomorrow morning.

In that instant, Luo Qianmo noticed Fang Qingyou leaving and tried to grab her, but she moved too fast. By the time he reacted, Fang Qingyou had already broken free of his grasp and was standing far away, looking at him warily.

At this moment, Luo Qianmo realized that Fang Qingyou's initiative was just a ploy to deal with him, and the anger in his heart spread wildly like a raging fire.

"Fang Qingyou, do you know what the consequences are for disobeying this prince?"

"Eighth Prince, I have heard of your deeds. However, if I had to choose again, I still would not obey you. You are a prince, and I am a commoner. I cannot cross the shackles of imperial supremacy, but my heart will not willingly submit. I still maintain that if you want me to repay your kindness, I will do what I can, but I hope that you will not make things difficult for me in terms of what I am unwilling to do."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou took off the jade pendant, its emerald green color glistening, from her waist: "Eighth Prince, this jade pendant was given to me by you, but it has caused great trouble for both of us. Now, I am returning it to you, hoping that those troubles will be gone forever."

Upon seeing this, Luo Qianmo's eyes suddenly turned into a deep, dark night, profound and chilling to the bone, captivating the soul.

"Eighth Prince, we've known each other for a while now, and I don't want our acquaintance to end in regret." Fang Qingyou bent down, placed the jade pendant on the ground, and then got up to leave.

"Eighth Prince, I take my leave now, and I hope we will never meet again."

Behind him, Luo Qianmo's eyes were churning with raging anger, a fury so intense that a single glance could overwhelm anyone.

If it were someone else, he would make them wish they were dead.

But this person is Fang Qingyou, so he can't do that.

Luo Qianmo clenched his long fingers tightly together, his knuckles turning a cold white from the force. He had to suppress his anger to prevent himself from chasing after them.

If he catches up, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist taking action and killing Fang Qingyou.

Over the years, no one who has ever disobeyed him has ever seen the sun rise the next day.

I cannot kill, I cannot hurt, but I have no way to vent my anger.

All that remains of knowing each other is regret. Do I regret it?

He never regretted it.

His only regret was that he pushed her away that day, causing her to end up with someone else!

He couldn't accept her distance.

Never to see him again, never to see him again, she actually wanted to never see him again.

Fang Qingyou...

Watching that slender figure depart, Luo Qianmo's eyes gradually turned into a deep, dark night.

At this moment, he exuded a domineering aura, like a dark king who controlled everything.

Those eyes, as dark as night, were exactly the same as a pair of eyes Fang Qingyou had seen before.

However, Fang Qingyou was destined never to discover this, because she never turned around.

"Bang—" Fang Qingyou slammed the door shut. Only after the sound of the door closing did she feel her body regain its breathing.

Fang Qingyou looked at the sleeping pills in her palm, took a deep breath of fresh air, and finally escaped.

The sky outside had already darkened.

There was no one outside the room at that moment.

However, Fang Qingyou dared not relax for a moment and followed the route in her memory all the way to the gate of the Eighth Prince's residence.

Along the way, Fang Qingyou encountered guards patrolling the Eighth Prince's residence, but these guards acted as if they didn't see her.

I walked straight past her without stopping her, asking who she was or where she was going.

Although Fang Qingyou was puzzled, she would not let this opportunity pass and quickly took the chance to get away.

Fang Qingyou was fortunate that the dim light prevented the guards from seeing her face clearly; otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to explain her current appearance to them.

Fang Qingyou couldn't see her own appearance, but she could easily imagine that her hair must be messy and her lips must be swollen.

These guards could certainly see Fang Qingyou, but they didn't stop her because it was an order from the Eighth Prince's residence, allowing Fang Qingyou to pass freely.

Fang Qingyou was unaware of the treatment she received at the Eighth Prince's residence. Had she known, she wouldn't have been so terrified the whole way.

Finally, Fang Qingyou arrived at the Eighth Prince's residence.

She walked for almost half an hour, feeling like her feet were about to get blisters, but seeing the gate of the Eighth Prince's residence so close at hand, she felt that all the hardship was worth it.

Fang Qingyou deliberately put on a nonchalant expression and was about to leave through the gate of the mansion, just like she always was.

As usual, the guards did not stop her, but instead respectfully escorted her out.

The moment Fang Qingyou stepped out of the Eighth Prince's residence, her heart leaped with joy, like a bird that had been given a free rein.

"Farewell, Eighth Prince's Residence!" Fang Qingyou shouted excitedly in her heart.

With excitement at leaving, Fang Qingyou crossed the threshold of the Eighth Prince's residence and headed out into the world.

It was already pitch black outside, but Fang Qingyou felt exceptionally bright in her mood.

Fang Qingyou had just reached the entrance of the Eighth Prince's residence when she vaguely saw a carriage approaching.

The carriage looked somewhat familiar, and as it drew closer, Fang Qingyou's heart gradually warmed.

The person who arrived by car was none other than Liu Tiewa.

"Xiao You, come on up quickly." Liu Tiewa stopped his car in front of the Eighth Prince's residence and immediately waved to Fang Qingyou.

"Okay." Fang Qingyou immediately jumped onto the carriage.

Liu Tiewa quickly drove the carriage to a corner of the Eighth Prince's residence and stopped it: "Xiao You, where is the Divine Physician Xiaoyaozi? Why didn't I see him come out with you?"

His voice trembled, probably because he was afraid.
