Xiao Qingqian looked down at the little girl in his arms and thought back to how they had been at loggerheads before. In order to protect Tian Sisi, he wished that he could kill Wei Qing faster.

It was also no wonder she hated Tian Sisi so much.

If he was her, he would definitely hate her. In fact, he might even hate her more than she did.

Ming Yuan Hou Mansion.

Tian Sisi's heart ached to the point of choking, she pressed hard on her chest, enduring the pain of the mother Gu biting into her heart.

At this moment, an ice-cold aura suddenly swept towards her.

She was already sweating profusely from the pain, but she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked at Long Xiaotian timidly.

"Master …" Tian Sisi bit her lips and barely managed to force herself to kneel.

Long Xiaotian fiercely waved a strand of Qi at her, causing Tian Sisi to be able to endure the pain, his chest instantly becoming filled with a sweet and fishy feeling.

"I let you win, but I didn't expect you to be so useless!"

"My lord, your subordinate …"

She was just about to explain to Long Xiaotian why she was doing this, but when she thought about how Qing Mu had risked her life to protect her, she swallowed back the words that were about to leave her mouth.

"Can't say it?" Long Xiaotian stretched the corners of his mouth as his voice became as cold as the blade.

Tian Sisi bit her lips, "Master, this subordinate is willing to accept your punishment!"

"You still have one more chance, you must obtain the Death-Free Token!"

Tian Sisi was startled, so the master's goal was the Death-Free Token?!

"If you disappoint me again, what will happen to you in the future? That's hard to say!"

Tian Sisi's face was pale white, as she continuously replied "Yes".

When he woke up the next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Wei Qing stretched herself, looked at Xiao Qingqian beside him, and then kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at her with blazing eyes.

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat, she suddenly sat up, went past him, and was about to pick up the clothes she threw on the ground. But unexpectedly, he extended her arm, and her entire body fell on top of his.

"Stop messing around, it's getting late!"

"Lie down a little longer!"

Wei Qing grinned, "That's not good, right?"

Xiao Qingqian raised his brows and rolled her over. She was trapped in the small space between his arms and the bed, and then, he had unreasonably placed all of his weight on Wei Qing's body.

Wei Qing's eyes flickered slightly, her hand placed across his chest, pushing with all her strength, "So heavy."

"Tell me, do you think I can cure your illness last night?"

Wei Qing was startled, she could not help but smile, "I think so, but it is possible!"

Xiao Qingqian chuckled, and rubbed her nose, "Do you want to give it another try?"

His face suddenly paled. Xiao Qingqian was extremely strong, if he was allowed to give his another 'treatment', he feared that he wouldn't be able to mount his horse.

"Nope."

These three words, held shyness and timidness, caused Xiao Qingqian's heart to go completely numb.

"Duk Duk ~ ~"

Knocking on the door, Wei Qing felt like she had been granted amnesty and heaved a sigh of relief, "Who is it?"

"Qing`er, it's getting late." Prime Minister Wei said from outside the door.

Wei Qing replied with an "Oh", then looked towards Xiao Qingqian, "Get up quickly."

Xiao Qingqian was truly reluctant, but the important matter was, he could only wait for the sky to turn dark.

The two cleaned up properly and left the room. The breakfast was already prepared.

Looking at his own daughter's rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, Prime Minister Wei was very pleased.

"Qing`er, your hair bun is very special today. "Something like …" Prime Minister Wei looked at her and hesitated to speak.

Wei Qing touched her hair bun as the corners of her mouth curled up.

She was very big, and combing her hair into a bun was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"Father, Xiao Qingqian helped me comb this bun." Wei Qing looked at Xiao Qingqian with his curved eyes.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Wei's face changed several times, "Qing`er, how can you call me by my name?"

Wei Qing did not mind, "He will not be angry."

Besides, it was a habit.

The Prime Minister Wei looked at Xiao Qingqian worriedly. Just as he was about to explain, Xiao Qingqian took the lead and said: "Since you brought this up, and think it's inappropriate, then from today on, let's change the address."

Wei Qing was surprised.

When did Xiao Qingqian become so petty?

"Yes!" Prime Minister Wei agreed.

"Just call me 'Darling', or Ah Qian." Xiao Qingqian reminded her.

Wei Qing rolled her eyes as she said, "You are really more than enough!"

Why say all this in front of her father?

Prime Minister Wei stared at Wei Qing, hoping that she would express her attitude towards him.

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, but decided against it: "Ah Qian!"

Xiao Qingqian's eyes revealed dense laughter, he looked at Prime Minister Wei and said, "Continue."

The mood of the Prime Minister Wei was currently very excited. Xiao Qingqian had genuinely started to care about Wei Qing, if not, he would not have been called by his full name.

After breakfast, the three went to the competition venue.

Today was the male team's competition, sword arts, and strength.

Xiao Qingqian did not announce this item, so the two of them were still guests today.

As soon as they entered, someone noticed Wei Qing's bun.

Wei Qing frowned as she looked at them. She was completely confused as to what was so special about this bun.

Xiao Qingqian whispered into her ear: "This bun, is because of some changes made on the bun that royal father combed for mufei back then."

Hearing that, Wei Qing's face changed.

Could it be that Xiao Qingqian wanted to remind the Old Emperor of something? After all, when the Old Emperor saw his hairpin yesterday, his expression had already changed.

Wei Qing naturally saw through whatever she was thinking with a glance.

He took her hand. "If you think you're being used, you are."

Wei Qing did not think that he would actually be this honest.

"I just want to know the purpose of your actions."

"I only wanted to provoke a conflict between royal father and empress!"

Wei Qing only said "oh" and did not say anymore.

When the empress and the others entered, the empress saw Wei Qing's bun at first glance.

Yesterday, he had been wearing a hairpin of that size, and today, the emperor had once again combed that slut's hair into a bun. Just what did Xiao Qingqian want to do?

The Old Emperor's gaze froze as his thoughts drifted off into the distance.

The empress dowager caught the hatred in the empress's eyes and gave a light cough.

Hearing that, the Queen looked away from Wei Qing and tried her best to stay calm.

The empress dowager looked at Old Emperor. "That girl Wei Qing is really very beautiful."

"The Queen Mother praises you."

The empress's hand tightened under her sleeve.

From yesterday onwards, the empress dowager, this old and immortal, had been praising Wei Qing, clearly defending him. If she were to act rashly now, she would definitely not be able to do anything good to him!

After taking a few deep breaths, she placed all her hope on her mount tomorrow.
