“Then, Qian’er, hurry up and undo the seal.”


  “The white dragon says I have to find the slave mark flute. The contract has nothing to do with His Majesty.”


  “Whatever you’re looking for, hurry up and find it. Don’t delay.” Bu Yaolian was afraid that Qian’er would be indecisive and reluctant to part with Lu Fenying when the time came.

  Qian’er was also eager to return.

  Either way, she didn’t want the slave mark.

  She picked up the crown prince. “I’ll go back now.”


  Gu Bailu said, “I’ll have Ah Luo send you off. If something happens, have her report back immediately.”


  “Okay.”


  Sitting in the carriage, Mo Qian’er looked at the contract again and again, but she couldn’t understand the words on it.

  The little crown prince babbled and reached for the contract.

  Mo Qian’er smiled. “My good son, you can’t play with this thing. It’s a good thing that will set me free. In the future, I won’t be a slave anymore, and you won’t have a despised slave for a mother.”


  It was just that he was a little dejected. His mother really wanted to leave his father.

  “I will have a lot to do in the future. I wonder if I can do it.”


  For the first time, Mo Qian’er felt the weight of responsibility.

  She then thought of Lu Fenying and how he would feel when he knew that she had removed the slave mark.

  When she thought of that, she couldn’t feel any more wonderful, as if the weight that had been holding her down for years could finally be lifted.

  Seeing his mother’s expression, the crown prince felt even more that things didn’t look good.

  Tsk, tsk, tsk. His father was probably going to cry. His mother was determined to free herself.

  In the inn, Lu Fenying received the particulars sent by Su Shenfan.

  He studied the information carefully and snorted, his eyes full of killing intent.

  “How naive.”


  “Your Majesty, Miss Xiu’er has prepared a spicy hotpot. She is asking if you would like a taste,” Red Wolf reported.

  Lu Fenying stood up and walked out of the room. Xiu’er was setting the table.

  She smiled beautifully when she saw him.

  “Your Majesty, the lady might not be back for lunch. Do you want to eat first?”


  Xiu’er was slim and delicate, and had a pair of exquisite eyes. The food she made was truly irresistible.

  Even Red Wolf and the others had become used to eating her food, and felt that life would be much less enjoyable without Miss Xiu’er around.

  Lu Fenying sat down, and Xiu’er passed him a pair of silver chopsticks. She stood next to him to prepare the food. “These are new ingredients I’m using for the hotpot. Try them and see if they suit your taste.”


  Xiu’er reached out and gave him a bowl of soup and some fresh mutton.

  Her movements were smooth and beautiful, and looked good.

  Lu Fenying didn’t hate this part of her, so every time she prepared the food, he didn’t tell her to step down.

  Who would’ve thought that Xiu’er’s sleeve would accidentally fall into a bowl of sauce next to her? Shocked, she hurried to save her sleeve, only to accidentally touch the side of the hotpot. It was so hot that she cried out in pain. She lost her balance and fell into Lu Fenying’s arms.

  Lu Fenying caught her and glanced at her coldly.

  Her face was pale, fear written all over her exquisite features.

  “Your Majesty, please punish me for my negligence.”
