Cold-faced Empress

Fu Siying, whose vision suddenly went black, was slightly taken aback but didn't think much of it. Just as she was about to wait until her vision cleared a bit before lighting the candle, suddenly, a cold, hard piece of metal pressed against her neck, sending a chill down her spine!

Fu Siying's whole body stiffened, as if her body had turned into a rock.

"Who?"

"I."

A deep, slightly hoarse male voice sounded softly behind Fu Siying.

Fu Siying, her mind in turmoil, was about to ask "Who are you?" when she heard the man behind her say, "Fu Siying, it's only been a few days, and you've already become Princess Mu! Ha, how ridiculous."

Haven't seen you for several days?

Fu Siying suddenly realized that the man standing behind her threatening her was the same man in blue who had kidnapped her at the local temple that day!

"It's you!" Fu Siying hurriedly thought of a solution. "What do you want with me?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the man in blue unexpectedly brought the sword in his hand even closer to Fu Siying's neck, making her feel the breath of death in an instant.

"Of course I've come to seek revenge on you!"

Fu Siying immediately retorted, "What a joke! I don't even know who you are. What revenge do you want from me? Isn't your enemy Prince Mu? Could it be that you can't kill Prince Mu, so you've come to ambush a weak woman like me to show off your heroism?"

She was clearly trying to provoke her. But this time, the provocation didn't work. The man in blue lightly traced the blade of his sword across Fu Siying's neck.

"Originally, I just wanted to see how your injuries were recovering, after all, you are my savior. But after hearing what you said to your father, I realized that you and Prince Mu are in cahoots."

The man in blue leaned close to Fu Siying's ear and said in a chilling tone, "Birds of a feather flock together. No wonder you became Princess Mu."

Unexpectedly, it was the man in blue who overheard her words of persuading her father. Fu Siying's fingers twitched slightly, and she said dismissively, "What, am I wrong? The Emperor's new policies are beneficial to the people. As the prime minister, my father should naturally care about the people's livelihood and support the Emperor in implementing the new policies. What's wrong with that?"

After she finished speaking, she did not hear a response from the man in blue for a long time.

Taking advantage of this moment, Fu Siying quietly pulled the dagger out of her sleeve.

As he took a deep breath, he suddenly swung his dagger and stabbed behind him!

Her actions showed no fear or threat in the eyes of the man in blue. After dodging the attack, the man in blue struck Fu Siying's wrist with a heavy blow.

With a sharp "snap," Fu Siying let go in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a loud "clatter" in the quiet night.

Unfortunately, Fu Siying didn't have the habit of having Qingyin keep watch at night, so the dagger falling to the ground didn't trigger an alarm for her.

At the same moment the dagger hit the ground, Fu Siying's mouth was also tightly covered by the man in blue, almost suffocating her.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Fu Siying struggled and swung her elbow hard behind her.

Caught off guard, the man in blue was struck by Fu Siying. After letting out a muffled groan, he became more alert, covering Fu Siying's mouth with one hand and binding her arms tightly behind her back with the other.

Fu Siying was so anxious that she opened her mouth and started biting the man in blue's hand!

"Hiss—" The man in blue gasped, cursing, "Fu Siying, you really are a dog! You haven't changed since you were a child!"

Fu Siying, whose teeth were aching from clenching them, paused, then slowly released her grip: "Who exactly are you?"
