 Chapter 528: Pearls in Your Mouth

  Hence, in the future, never use such tricks to offend him.

  It wasn’t only her who could stage an assassination.

  If she sent someone, he wouldn’t necessarily die.

  But once he sent someone, someone would definitely die.

  When Consort Liu woke up in the middle of the night, when she opened her eyes, what gushed out of her was monstrous hatred and lingering fears after escaping from death.

  Feng Qingbai never played words when fighting back, he just did it.

  She lived in the palace and never set foot out of the palace gates. The strict guards in this palace couldn’t protect her life!

  Feng Qingbai merely had to decide!

  ”Feng-Fengqing, Bai!” When she opened her mouth, a sound like a broken gong came from her throat.

  Consort Liu’s hatred intensified!

  In the future, if she wanted to say a complete sentence, it would be extremely difficult!

  The bandage wrapped around her neck made it difficult for her to breathe. She reached out and stroked her neck, but she didn’t even dare to pull the bandage off.

  She was afraid that if she did so, her head would roll from her neck to the bottom of the bed!

  Behind the curtain of the bedroom, a tall figure slowly appeared. He walked to the bed, covered with a wide cloak, and only revealed a pair of black eyes looking at the person lying on the bed.

  ”You! Why d-didn’t y-you protect this Concubine!!” Compared with Feng Qingbai, she hated the person in front of her even more.

  With his ability, he couldn’t possibly be that slow to react in the face of an assassin!

  Absolutely impossible! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be Ling-gong!

  The man spoke, his voice was the same as the light in his eyes, without waves, “Your Highness tried to assassinate Feng Qingbai and Liu Yusheng at the banquet, yet you didn’t tell me in advance.”

  ”This Concubine has been w-working hard t-to kill them! H-How about you take charge for the assassination?! Y-You have p-protected me poorly! Blaming me? Don’t trust me?” After speaking too much, the sound of a voice box sounded from her throat. Every word she spoke was accompanied by pain. She glared at Ling-gong with scarlet eyes and said, “Hah…don’t forget that you are under this Concubine!”

  ”Your Highness, you are wrong. I have never belonged to anyone, and I am only cooperating with you. Cooperation requires honesty in exchange for trust. If you are wary of me, how can you blame me for not saving you?” He approached the bed, and under Consort Liu’s widening eyes, he stretched out his hand and pinched her neck. “This accident is a lesson for Consort Liu. Don’t do it again in the future. Otherwise, you may not be so lucky next time. Fortunately, your head is still attached to your neck.”

  Consort Liu stared at Ling-gong in disbelief. The pair of eyes under the mask clearly didn’t display any emotions, but she felt like a venomous snake was staring at her. The hands on her neck felt like the spitting tongue of that venomous snake.

  And it could kill her at any moment!

  It made her shudder!

  By the time she recovered from her fear, nobody was already in front of the bed.

  In spite of it, the sinister coolness from death crawled all over her skin, making her breathless with fear.

  The elders in Xinliu Manor knew nothing about what happened in the palace. They just thought Nannan went to watch a lively event.

  Liu Zhixia was on duty in the palace, and he heard about the two assassinations, but he hid it. He didn’t tell the elders a word, and he also hid it from Fu Yuzheng. He was worried that her mood would fluctuate, which was detrimental to her health.

  As for Feng Qingbai, after having dinner that day, for the first time ever, instead of sticking to Liu Yusheng, he held a jar of wine and invited Liu Dalin to a drink together.

  He was used to making his own decisions, doing what he wanted, and rarely cared about the opinions of others.

  But at the ceremony, Consort Liu took the opportunity to ridicule him. She made him realize how Shengsheng would be affected by being by his side.

  And it was only due to four words, no identity, no relation.

  Currently, he was afraid that many people in the capital thought that Shengsheng was just having a fling with him.

  They haven’t even decided on their marriage yet.

  In the eyes of the commoners, they probably thought that the Regent disdained the status of Ruyi County Lady, that she was too lowly, so he refused to open his mouth to give her an identity.

  He couldn’t tell the world that he was the one who lacked the title, because no one would believe him.

  It was June, the weather in summer was getting hotter.

  When sitting at the stone table in the garden and looking up, the bright starry sky fell into the eyes.

  Feng Qingbai poured wine for Liu Dalin. “Uncle Liu, I’ll give you a toast.”

  ”Tell me, what’s the matter?” Liu Dalin asked after downing the wine, alertness sticking out of his body.

  ”Uncle Liu, what kind of son-in-law do you want?” Feng Qingbai asked with a smile, slowly taking a sip.

  One never goes to the temple for no reason. Uncle Liu knew he had matters to discuss with him, so there was no need for him to beat around the bush.

  ”I knew this was what you little bastard was going to say,” Liu Dalin snorted. Feng Qingbai was so straightforward, but this made him shed his guard. “Do you think that I have been obstructing your affairs with Nannan? You take me as a huge, unreasonable mountain that’s blocking your way, right?”

  ”Uncle Liu, I have respected you since I was a child. Even if it wasn’t for Shengsheng, I would treat you as my own elder.” Feng Qingbai restrained his smile and put on a solemn expression.

  Liu Dalin groaned inwardly. This kid was relying on this mouth to coax their Nannan, confusing her into believing three was five, right?

  He was respectful since he was a child, ha! This brat’s eyes were blind except for Nannan.

  He grew up and became sensible, and only then did he barely become normal.

  Did he think he was easy to coax after uttering a word or three of flattery?

  With a sigh, Liu Dalin looked up at the stars in the sky. If a star in the sky represented a person, their Nannan would be the moon in his eyes, and no star could compare to her.

  ”Nannan is a treasure that I have cherished in my hand for more than ten years. Suddenly a brat came out one day to grab the treasure from me. Can I let go?” Liu Dalin’s eyes grew distant. That sentence sounded more of a complaint and a sigh. “You’ve never been a father, so you don’t know what it’s like to be a father. That feeling, sigh, it’s like a lump of flesh is plucked from your heart. It’s sore and painful.”

  Feng Qingbai poured another glass of wine for the man, without interrupting.

  ”Back when Nannan was born, she was only this big,” Liu Dalin compared her with the palm of his hand. “She was as big as a palm. Every time I carried her, I was afraid of causing her pain or strangling her. She was pink and so tender, wriggling like a tiny dumpling. When she was more than a year old, she would run to the door of the courtyard and wait their, so well behaved that my heart melted. At more than two years old, she could barely complete a sentence. At that time, her grandpa had an accident. She stood in the ox cart and begged the old doctor to save him. Her head was not as high as the shaft of the cart. Whenever I recall that scene, I still feel sore deep inside… “

  One by one, Liu Dalin spoke as if listing his family’s treasures. As long as it was related to Nannan, even the teeny tiny details were remembered by him vividly.

  She was his precious daughter, the treasure that he was afraid of melting.

  Behind the half-person high garden wall not far from the stone table, behind the two, Liu Yusheng and her grandmother stood there, listening quietly.

  They didn’t know when their eyes got wet.

  Even Liu Yusheng has forgotten a lot of the things that happened since she was a child, but her father remembered them all.

  When the granddaughter and grandma came, they originally planned to eavesdrop behind the wall, worried that Liu Dalin would be stubborn and embarrass Feng Qingbai.

  The grandma even brought the feather duster, ready to beat him up if he acted the jerk.

  However, they didn’t expect to hear such things.
