Chapter 601 Why Don’t You Dare to Look at Me?
Chapter 601 Why Don’t You Dare to Look at Me?
The man was wrapped in a black hooded cloak and had a ghost mask on his face, leaving only his two eyes exposed. He was completely unaware of the danger ahead.
When the masked man turned a corner, his steps suddenly stopped, and his two beady eyes narrowed slightly as he stared ahead.
Fu Ling calmly crossed his arms across his chest and blatantly blocked the masked man's way.
Although he couldn't see the facial features clearly in the moonlight, he could tell from her clothes that the person blocking his way was a woman. His hand unconsciously reached for his waist, gripping the hilt of the knife tightly, ready to strike at any time.
“1···2···3···5.”
The masked man's face was filled with questions. Why was he counting in front of him in the middle of the night? He didn't even have time to be confused for long before he completely lost consciousness.
Fu Ling never thought about confronting him head-on. This was not the modern era. These people knew some martial arts and could even use hidden weapons. She was self-aware and didn't want to fight him head-on.
He walked forward and threw the masked man who had fainted on the ground into the boundary bead, then teleported back to the room and captured the man without alerting anyone.
In the boundary bead, Fu Ling was looking through the memory of the masked man. To her surprise, this man was actually Xuanyuan Zhaoyuan's hidden chess piece. Unfortunately, the other party only followed orders and did not know the ins and outs of the matter.
Although he was just a small minion, his hands were stained with a lot of blood. Fu Ling did not intend to let the tiger go back to the mountain and did not want to hide anywhere. Fu Ling put on gloves and directly broke the masked man's neck.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully slapping the face, and obtaining points. Total points, rewards: Spiritual Spring Water*2000, and 5 pieces of Cloud Brocade Cloth]
What? Just one minion has 2 points? It's both unexpected and reasonable.
His master only needs to talk, but the real implementers are people like the masked man.
After dealing with the corpse, Fu Ling returned to reality.
Fu Ling was awakened by a knock on the door early in the morning: "Your Highness, it's getting late. The princess is waiting for you to have dinner."
He rubbed his sore eyes, sat up, and said to the outside: "Come in."
Qingzhu pushed the door open and came in, holding a basin of water for washing face.
Put the basin of water on the basin stand. At this time, another maid, Zizhu, came in with a tray in her hand. On the tray was a set of pink and white gauze clothes, and on the clothes was a set of pearl head ornaments.
"Your Highness, these are the clothes that the princess prepared for you." Zizhu paid her respects and replied respectfully.
Glancing at the clothes, Fu Ling nodded: "Then let's go with this set. You guys go out first. I'll wash up and come in to help me tie my hair."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
When the two of them went out, Qingzhu closed the door, and then they stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right, waiting.
Fu Ling pushed the jewelry aside and took the clothes in her hands.
Looking closer, Fu Ling discovered that the clothes were inlaid with gold thread. The clothes were finely made and the effect on the body was even more amazing.
I must get a few sets of ancient costumes when I go back. These are the real ancient costumes, without any water added, and the materials used are extremely exquisite.
"Qingzhu, Zizhu, you can come in."
While dressing up, Fu Ling asked curiously, "Why don't you dare look at me? I won't eat you."
Fu Ling found it a little funny. The two men only dared to lower their heads and do things beside her, not even daring to look her in the eye.
The two looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"It's okay, just say what you want to say. I won't do anything to you, just say it."
Qing Zhu bravely said, "Reply...Reply to Your Highness, because you are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, as beautiful as a fairy in a painting."
Fu Ling chuckled: "If that's the case, then why don't you dare look at me?"
"Every time I make eye contact with the princess, I can't help but feel nervous." She was afraid that Fu Ling would misunderstand her, so she explained, "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. What I meant was... what I meant was..." Qingzhu couldn't explain it for a long time, and her face turned red, for fear that she would be offended.
"Don't be so nervous. The princess is also a human being, just like you. Just be calm when you see me. We still have some time to spend together, and I don't want you to be so shy all the time. Be brave. As long as you do your job well, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Then...then can I tell the truth to the princess?"
"Of course, why not? Feel free to do as you please."
These words made the two little girls become Fu Ling's little fans. Their eyes were shining when they looked at her. As a princess of a country, she was not arrogant at all. They never dreamed that they would encounter such a good thing.
It's not that they haven't seen those ladies from noble families, but even they looked down on others, let alone a princess.
"Your Highness, you are so kind." Zizhu said bravely.
Fu Ling was quite emotional. She didn't do anything but convey her kindness to them. This was a very normal action in later generations, but it made them as excited as if they had won five million.
"You guys are cute too."
The ancients got up early. Normally, she would still be dating Zhou Gong at this time, but everyone here had already dressed up and had breakfast.
In the eldest prince's consort's courtyard, Qiu Die attentively served her a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup: "Princess, you are pregnant, how can you go hungry? Have a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to fill your stomach first."
"We have distinguished guests in this mansion. It's impolite to start eating before they arrive. It's better to wait a little longer. I'm not too hungry yet."
"Princess, your current situation is special. I don't think the princess will blame you."
"Don't say any more. If anyone hears, it will really bring shame to the First Prince's Mansion."
"I'll go see if the princess has arrived." Cuiping knew the eldest prince's wife, so she didn't try to persuade her any further.
After knowing that Qiu Die was the one who poisoned her, the eldest prince's wife did not show it on the surface, but she was already alert in her heart. When she got up this morning to help with the changing of clothes, she only asked Cuiping and Nanny Huang to send her away to do other things. If she had not been afraid of alerting the enemy, the eldest prince's wife would have dealt with her long ago.
Cui Ping returned not long after she left, a smile on her face: "Princess, the princess is here."
The eldest prince's wife was immediately delighted and stood up to greet him.
As soon as Fu Ling arrived at the door, she saw the eldest prince's wife smiling at her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Fu Ling felt a little apologetic. It was really unfair for her to make a pregnant woman wait for her to eat.
"Why do you say that, Ling'er? You haven't waited long." The eldest prince's wife stepped forward and grabbed Fu Ling's hand.
"Let's go and have dinner first."
"Okay~" Fu Ling let her pull him.
When they arrived at the dining room, the eldest princess began to clear the place: "You can go down and have breakfast. We don't need you to serve here."
"Princess, please let me stay and serve you dinner." Qiu Die didn't want to leave just like that. She always felt uneasy if she didn't see her eat.
"Don't you want to listen to me?" The eldest prince's wife suddenly changed her expression and scared everyone.
