Cold-faced Empress

If she had asked that one more question when she first met him in her past life, would everything have been different?

Fu Siying will never know the answer, and she doesn't want to know anymore...

All she knew was that she had truly misjudged him. He Changyi's ambition didn't begin to swell only after he tasted power and influence after meeting her; he was always such a ruthless and heartless person!

They walked in silence, Fu Siying's steps quickening, her aura growing increasingly imposing. He Changyi, following behind, was filled with unease, unsure if his answer had failed Fu Siying. He could only clutch the flea bag tightly, hoping to complete his task safely.

When the gate of the Fu residence came into view, Fu Siying was completely unprepared for the sight of that huge, black carriage that appeared along with it!

That was King Mu's carriage. Surrounding the carriage were menacing guards and attendants, whose strength and imposing presence surpassed even that of the army's elite soldiers, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Fu Siying was startled and hurried forward. Qingyin, who was waiting at the gate, rushed to greet her: "Miss, you're finally back! The palace has issued an imperial decree for your marriage, and Prince Mu has also come to the manor in person. Everyone is waiting for you!"

An imperial decree granting a marriage?

Fu Siying paused, realizing it was a matter of life and death, and hurriedly entered the mansion.

He Changyi never imagined he would have the opportunity to see the magnificent and imposing retinue of Prince Mu so closely, and for a moment he was dumbfounded. Who in the capital hadn't heard of Prince Mu's illustrious name? To reach the level of Prince Mu as a high-ranking official was truly to command respect from all directions!

In that moment of distraction, when I came to my senses again, I was shocked to find that Fu Siying had already disappeared.

He Changyi originally wanted to go up to the gatekeeper of the Fu residence to explain his identity and purpose, but when he recalled what the maid had just said, he immediately suppressed his thoughts.

Imperial decree granting marriage...

Realizing that Fu Siying might become the future Princess Consort of Mu, He Changyi hurriedly threw a bag of fleas in front of the Fu residence and then fled in a panic.

Prince Mu has a notorious reputation, and getting involved with him is really hard to say whether it will be good or bad. He would rather give up this rare opportunity than risk losing his life.

Fu Siying walked briskly for quite a distance after entering the mansion. Only after she reached the main hall and could see Mo Canglan's big gray bear sitting in the main seat did she realize that she had forgotten about He Changyi.

Startled, she immediately changed her expression and turned to run out of the mansion!

Haruno exclaimed in surprise: "Young Miss!"

The Prime Minister Fu and Lady Li, who had been smiling obsequiously at Prince Mu in the main hall, instantly changed their expressions. "Siying!"

Fu Siying ignored him, her mind only on He Changyi, and her feet moved with lightning speed. She had endured the hatred all the way to trick He Changyi into coming back, how could she be so careless as to let him slip away!

He Changyi!

However, as soon as they ran out of the mansion, He Changyi was nowhere to be seen. Only an inconspicuous little bag was left on the steps in front of the mansion gate.

Fu Siying picked up the small bag, clenched her fists, and stared out of the alley with eyes full of anger.

"He Changyi!"

She was filled with anger and resentment, but she never expected that the prey she had just caught would escape. He Changyi was really lucky!

After a while, Fu Siying's anger subsided somewhat. She could run for a while, but not forever. She believed she would soon meet He Changyi again, because their first meeting in her past life wasn't that long ago, and when that time came, the story of the previous life would definitely not repeat itself!
