Chapter 1354: One Piece Per Person, No More Allowed
Her words made Chu Ping indignant as well.
"This is too much! Does the female officer know she’s destroying a happy family!"
"Exactly!" Qingmei echoed indignantly.
After she finished speaking, she said to Chu Ping, "I have little influence, and the Princess trusts that female officer, so I can’t say much."
"In the entire palace, the only one who can stop this is Marquis Wan; after all, he is a close official of the Emperor."
"You, as the Marquis’ top subordinate, must keep this in mind. When you have the chance, inform the Marquis about the situation with the Princess."
After all, with Marquis Wan’s help, that female officer should find it much more difficult to become a concubine.
Chu Ping patted his chest, "Leave it to me! Xiao Mei, are you feeling better now? Can you eat some dumplings?"
"No matter what, don’t starve yourself. If you fall ill, who will take care of the Princess?"
"In half a month, we will be getting married. If something happens to you, who will I walk down the aisle with?"
Qingmei gave him a slap, pretending to be annoyed, but felt sweet inside.
"Stop joking around. Leave the dumplings here, and you can go now. Remember what I told you."
"Don’t worry!"
After Chu Ping left, Qingmei indeed felt a bit more appetite.
So she carried the food box back to her room, intending to eat the dumplings first.
However, Qingmei was completely unaware.
The reason Bai Zhi’er’s eyes had been blackened for several nights.
Was because she would sneak off to Feng Fuce’s Xiuluo Guard after her father carried her mother away, and spend the entire night with him.
Sometimes, while he read reports, she would fall asleep on the recliner beside him.
However, every time as dawn approached, Feng Fuce would carry Bai Zhi’er back.
Without anyone knowing, not even Qingmei noticed.
Of course, the dark circles under her eyes came from staying up with Feng Fuce!
It wasn’t for some female officer, losing her spirit.
And Bai Zhi’er wasn’t talking to herself.
She was just speaking with five little coal ball demons, which Qingmei couldn’t see, that’s all.
Since the last time she learned from the demons that Star Lord Yuan Qing had appeared, Bai Zhi’er had tasked them to track him down.
These little demons were very clever and discreet, and Star Lord Yuan Qing hadn’t noticed them.
They returned today to report the latest news.
Star Lord Yuan Qing had been hiding in a rundown temple these past few days.
Sleeping during the day, moving at night.
During the day, he would always be meditating or sleeping inside the rundown temple, and at night, he would come out to bathe in moonlight or find something to eat.
Bai Zhi’er frowned, becoming increasingly puzzled by the peculiarity of the situation.
"Who could have helped him to gather his Primordial Spirit again after I shattered his soul? Did you see him meet anyone?"
The coal balls all shook their heads in unison, making a "zilch" sound of denial.
It seemed that the matter of Star Lord Yuan Qing would need a thorough investigation yet again.
Bai Zhi’er thanked them for their hard work and efforts.
She picked up the candy wrapped in a cloth beside her and offered it to the little demons.
"Eat, one for each, don’t take more than one. Eating too much will give you a toothache." The girl smiled brightly, her round eyes curving.
Never having tasted such things, the demons hesitated, glancing at each other, as if afraid to take the offering.
At that moment, the demon Bai Zhi’er called Qiu Da reached out with its little black hand, grabbed a candy, and stuffed it into its mouth wide open.
It chewed quickly and swallowed with a gulp.
The other four little demons watched it.
"Jiji?" As if asking if it was good.
Qiu Da nodded vigorously, "Ji!"
Delicious! So delicious!
Sugary sweet!
