Chapter 2058: The Wolf King 53
With every word he said, the temperature around him fell by a degree. It was so frightening that no one present dared to speak.
The empress looked at Nan Chiyou and Nan Ming with a horrified gaze. At that moment, they finally felt that something was wrong.
However, it was difficult to put a finger on just what it was.
Liu Qingqing bit her lip hard.
Her face was pale, and her body trembled hard. The feeling of uneasiness was growing stronger, almost devouring her.
“Ah Bao!”
The person who said this was Feng Ruqing.
She had a cold and sullen expression as she slowly stepped in. “Is this what you, the frontier, are capable of?”
Ah Bao’s body inexplicably s.h.i.+vered. Its gaze was blank as if it did not know what it had done wrong.
‘Princess and State Preceptor are angry…’
“That…” Ah Bao trembled. “I’ve protected her well.”
Its little princess ate well and slept well. Except for the wolf king’s extra companions.h.i.+p, nothing had changed since being in Princess Manor.
Feng Ruqing looked around Nan Chiyou’s body and did not find any wound; instead, she saw her body stained with blood. Her face turned cold and sank again.
“This blood…” Nan Chiyou’s little face was red. “It is not mine. It’s Ah Bao’s blood. When it was fighting just now, the blood had accidentally splashed onto me…”
Feng Ruqing sighed in relief, smiled, and extended her arms.
Nan Chiyou was excited and bounced over to her mother.
Feng Ruqing smiled and caught the little girl’s tiny body in her arms, hugging her tightly.
The empress and others suddenly froze.
Their eyes were bigger than the copper tomb; so shocked that their whole faces turned pale with panic in their eyes.
‘What is the relations.h.i.+p between this wild girl and Feng Ruqing?’
At first, seeing Nan Xian so worried about her, they had also misunderstood that Nan Xian and the little girl might have a relations.h.i.+p.
However, all people knew that Princess Feng Ruqing could not tolerate other women, and State Preceptor Nan Xian had always listened to her.
So they remained silent, waiting for what would happen to Nan Chiyou later.
However, this scene made their brains buzz and their minds blank.
The empress froze, and even her breathing grew heavy.
She clenched her fists tightly, and her face was full of panic and confusion.
“Mother…” Nan Chiyou smiled brightly. “I know that Father will forgive me. Now you can take me home.”
‘Father?
‘Mother?’
The empress, who was still full of panic, instantly turned ashen after hearing this name, and her heart stopped beating.
Liu Qingqing shook her head and stepped backward. She could not believe what she was seeing.
‘Feng Ruqing is Xia Xia’s mother?
‘But I thought her family name was Xia.
‘Impossible, absolutely impossible…’
The emperor’s face changed dramatically. He stiffly turned his head, and his gaze fell upon Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing had said before… Xia Xia sneaked into the room and poisoned Murong Qing.
She said that Xia Xia might be a spy sent by other kingdoms to harm the Chang Qing Kingdom prince.
However, Liu Qingqing was right about one thing… She was indeed from another kingdom.
But that was Liu Yun Kingdom!!
All the kingdoms in Cang Yue Mainland were affiliated with Liu Yun Kingdom. If Liu Yun Kingdom wanted to start a war, it was only a matter of words. Why would they go and poison Fourth Prince?
Was it necessary for them to do such a thing?
