Cold-faced Empress

Although she worried that Qingyin might hear Chu Ziqi's cries, Fu Siying didn't stop him from venting his emotions. She knew that from the moment he fled until now, he probably hadn't had a single moment of peace to let him cry freely!

After a long while, Chu Ziqi's sobs gradually subsided. His face was already covered in blood, and with tears streaming down his face, he looked truly unsightly.

Given his special status, Fu Siying dared not let him rest hastily, but asked in detail: "Since you escaped from the Earth God Temple that day, have you still been hunted down by Prince Mu's men?"

Perhaps because he had cried in front of Fu Siying, Chu Ziqi's aura weakened. He didn't look up, but only said in a low voice, "Yes."

Fu Siying was startled: "Could it be that Prince Mu's men have tracked us here?"

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Ziqi suddenly looked up at her. Before Chu Ziqi could utter any hurtful words, Fu Siying interjected, "I'm not worried about myself, but about you. If you don't get rid of them, staying here is practically a death sentence."

Chu Ziqi's expression softened slightly: "No, I came to find you after I got rid of them."

Upon hearing this, Fu Siying felt relieved, and in a moment, she could also sense Chu Ziqi's kindness and goodwill in his words.

So she said, "Thank you for not bringing trouble to my house."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Ziqi abruptly stood up from his chair and said to Fu Siying in a firm tone, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity. You saved my life last time, so I won't kill you today, but who knows what the future holds. Farewell!"

He made a harsh statement and was about to leave when Fu Siying quickly stood up to stop him: "Where are you going?"

"Go find Mo Canglan and avenge our blood feud!"

“I think it was Mo Canglan who drove you to your death!” Fu Siying immediately retorted.

Chu Ziqi's expression was grim and uncertain: "It's none of your business! If you want, go ahead and send a message to Mo Canglan, telling him to be careful!"

Fu Siying reached out and grabbed Chu Ziqi's arm tightly: "How can you be so good at falsely accusing people? Didn't you just overhear my conversation with my father? Do you think I'm overjoyed about becoming the Princess Consort of Mu?"

"Isn't that so?" Chu Ziqi retorted angrily, "You were just now trying to persuade your father to pledge allegiance to Prince Mu!"

"Nonsense! My Fu family also needs to live. Do you want my Fu family to be wiped out by Prince Mu?!" Fu Siying's expression changed instantly, and she glared angrily at Chu Ziqi. "If it can benefit the people and protect ourselves, why not? If Prince Mu and the Emperor are implementing tyrannical policies, I will naturally not advise my father."

After a long silence, Chu Ziqi sneered and uttered a few words: "Ha, sophistry."

Fu Siying looked away angrily, too lazy to say anything more.

Chu Ziqi gently pried Fu Siying's hand away, saying, "I don't care what difficulties or thoughts you have, but Mu Wang and I are sworn enemies. The outcome will either be mutual destruction or one of us living and the other dying. Fu Siying, I'm sparing you out of consideration for our past relationship, and I hope you will do the same. Don't mention a single word about me in front of Mu Wang. From now on, let's go our separate ways and pretend we don't know each other!"

After saying that, he shook off Fu Siying and jumped out of the window.

He moved freely in the night like an owl, quickly disappearing from Fu Siying's sight. However, Fu Siying had a strong premonition that she would see Chu Ziqi again soon.
