Chapter 209 - What the hell

"Miss Dia'Er's mouth is like an oil bottle. Who dares to provoke you?" Chen Cheng laughed and teased.

Die'er let out a coarse breath, "Why is Detective Chen here?"

"Tell the prince something."

Hearing Chen Cheng's voice, Xiao Qingqian looked somewhat resentfully at Wei Qing, and said solemnly: "Wait for a moment."

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat. She originally thought that if Chen Cheng came, she would no longer insist on helping her apply the medicine.

Unexpectedly, he was so persistent.

Outside the hall, Chen Cheng frowned, "Yes."

Xiao Qingqian took the medicine in his hands, and looked at her without blinking, "Didn't I promise earlier that I wouldn't refuse?"

Wei Qing's face was extremely hot, the wound on her chest was different from the ones on her hands and feet, she would not let him apply the medicine so openly.

The two of them stared at each other in silence. The impatience in Xiao Qingqian's heart grew thicker as she "hissed" and ripped off her clothes.

The bubbling wounds suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xiao Qingqian's breathing suddenly sank.

That night, he was truly infuriated by Wei Qing, he did not expect the injury to be this severe.

Wei Qing raised his hand to try to block it, but he held Wei Qing's hand and slowly moved it away.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Wei Qing curled her lips, "I'll give you a bite, try it!"

"It's not like you haven't bitten it before!" he protested.

The way the two of them communicated seemed to be more like a loving couple flirting and flirting. The interest in the eyes of Chen Cheng, who was standing outside the hall, grew even stronger.

Die'er felt that Chen Cheng was making a joke out of her, so she grumpily pushed him away, "Go far away and wait."

"There really is such a master, just like that …"

Before Chen Cheng could finish, Die'er glared at him fiercely. He sighed and whispered, "Do you feel that there's something different between the prince and the princess?"

Die'er frowned. "What's different?"

When she was outside the hall, she had clearly heard that the Eldest Miss had never accepted the prince. It had always been the prince taking the initiative.

"Trust me, they …" Chen Cheng meaningfully glanced at her, raised his hand and grabbed her shoulders.

Die'er blinked, "What?"

"I'm fine!"

Chen Cheng felt that Die er was just an emotional idiot. No matter how much he told his, he wouldn't understand him.

In the palace, Xiao Qingqian raised his hand and gently caressed the white spots, "It might hurt."

Wei Qing's entire body tensed up as she nervously uttered an "oh".

He carefully sprinkled the medicine on the wound and helped her bandage it.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her, "I will be leaving first, feel free to tell me anything."

Her voice was so gentle that it didn't sound like him!

Wei Qing stared at him blankly and did not make a sound for a long while.

Xiao Qingqian looked at Chen Cheng who was deep in conversation with Die'er, and coughed lightly, and the two of them went back to the study room.

Die'er hurriedly entered her bedroom. "Eldest Miss, are you alright?"

Wei Qing had a thoughtful expression, "Die'er, don't you feel that Xiao Qingqian has been acting weird recently?"

Die'er frowned and shook her head.

In the past, the Duke only had Tian Sisi in his eyes, he could not even see the young miss, and naturally would not see the beautiful young miss either.

Now that Tian Sisi had already left, the Duke naturally saw how well Eldest Miss was doing.

None of this was strange at all!

Wei Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and instructed her to find some time to visit the Prime Minister's Estate and bring back the wood and blueprints from her room.

Die'er hurriedly acknowledged him and quickly went to the Prime Minister's manor to bring the items to the hall.

"Eldest Miss, take a look and see if everyone's here."

Wei Qing's gaze stayed on the dagger that Chu Yin had given her for a long time, and her heart felt as though it was being forcefully pulled by two hands.

After a long time, she finally gave the dagger to Die'er, "Die'er, help me to take good care of this. Don't let me see it."

Die'er blinked her eyes in puzzlement, before replying with an "Oh".

Wei Qing tried her best to suppress the turmoil in her heart. She also told Die'er to ask the butler for a new dagger, and started to cut the wood.

Because of the injury to her hand, her movements seemed clumsy.

After Xiao Qingqian and the others discussed some matters regarding the Rites of Heavenly Worship in the study room, they returned to the hall once more and brought some sour plum soup over to Wei Qing.

Startled, she nervously bit her lower lip.

"There's a wound on your hand."

His voice was as cold as ice, but Wei Qing was determined to ignore him.

"What the hell is this?" His gaze fell on the new dagger in her hand, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Bow and crossbow."

When he thought about the Magic Cube that Wei Qing had made last time, Xiao Qingqian only thought that it was some sort of toy.

"What is this for?"

Wei Qing initially wanted to ignore him, but seeing his serious expression, she decided to tell him anyway.

"Didn't you laugh at me for not being able to pull the bow open? "Then I will make a bow suitable for me, which will allow me to easily shoot out from the back of the horse!"

He frowned as he stared at the blueprint on the table.

Picking it up, he looked at it very seriously.

It was like a flattened bow, its size not as big as the bow itself. It seemed like there was no need to pull the bowstring, only to pull the trigger.

His gaze slowly shifted from the blueprint to Wei Qing's face, and his already knitted eyebrows deepened.

It was still her. But why couldn't she see her beauty before?

Feeling the deep gaze that was locked tightly on his face, Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat and her hand trembled. If it wasn't for her finger being bound earlier, she would definitely have cut her finger this time.

Her face was as pale as paper. She loosened her grip on her dagger and it fell to the ground.

Xiao Qingqian bent over and picked up the dagger, "Where did you get this?"

"Die'er asked the housekeeper for it."

Xiao Qingqian looked at her intently. He originally wanted to ask where the dagger Chu Yin had given her went, but after thinking about it, he felt that asking her this question was not really appropriate.

Since she had already changed her dagger, it meant that she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Chu Yin. No matter where she put her dagger, as long as it did not appear in front of her eyes every now and then and disrupt her heartstrings, it would be fine!

Wei Qing curled his lips as he walked away. Soon enough, Wei Qing congealed his figure that was gradually moving further and further away.

Very quickly, Xiao Qingqian appeared again.

She frowned and looked at him with displeasure. Just as she was about to say something, an exquisite dagger entered her sight.

Her eyes glazed over as she asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"

"The dagger that the steward gave you is just a normal dagger. Using that dagger to cut wood takes a lot of effort."

"So?" She tilted her head, her hands still moving.

"This is This King's dagger. It was given to me by Imperial Father when I fought for the position of champion in the Autumn Hunt. It can slice through metal like mud."

The most important thing was, it would definitely not be worse than the one Chu Yin gave her!

"So what?" Her expression was light.
