Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Show Affection
Su Wanwan rushed over to stop him, but Qi Chengfeng stabbed the dagger in his hand somewhere in the air. In a flash, he broke the illusion.

It seemed that Qi Chengfeng had also discovered that it wasn’t her. Su Wanwan thought for a moment. Qi Chengfeng was talking about Sun Rui, and Sun Rui was just a child. He was only seven or eight years old. How could she have anything to do with Sun Rui? However, that illusion was unknown. Seeing Qi Chengfeng’s fury, he followed suit.

“Fortunately, you didn’t stab yourself with your knife.” Su Wanwan said with lingering fear in her heart.

When Qi Chengfeng saw Su Wanwan looking at him so anxiously, his thin lips curled up and he smiled, “Why is Lady nervous?”

“I’m not nervous about you!” As Su Wanwan said this, she raised her chin and pretended to be unhappy, but Xiaolu’s heart was thrown into a mess because of her words.

“Alright, now that the illusion is gone, I’ll bring you there.” Qi Chengfeng patted off the snowflakes on Su Wanwan’s head, picked up the hat from her cloak and put it on Su Wanwan’s head, then pulled Su Wanwan away.

The coachman saw the two of them and was puzzled, “Miss, Third Prince, what did you do to the air just now? Do the same thing by yourself? Is this the new popular method of playing in the capital?”

Su Wanwan did not know how to explain, but only nodded and said, “Yes.”

As she spoke, Su Wanwan leaned against Qi Chengfeng’s leg. When the coachman heard that the two of them were in a bad state, he fell silent.

It was snowing in the capital. There weren’t many people traveling and there weren’t any blockages. In just fifteen minutes, Su Wanwan got off the carriage and found herself in a forest. The leaves under her feet were covered with thick snow. The leaves on the trees had fallen clean, but there were red fruits hanging on the branches.

The fruit was also covered with a layer of snow, like a delicious cake. Wasn’t this persimmon?

Su Wanwan looked at the nearest one and said, “That one is really beautiful.”

This greedy cat!

Qi Chengfeng recognized her hidden meaning and helplessly picked up the persimmon. He shook it and removed the snow from the persimmon. Then, he peeled it off and handed it to Su Wanwan. “The fruit is too cold. You are only allowed to eat one.”

“Alright.” Su Wanwan replied and told him to pick some more and bring them back, intending to make persimmons to eat.

The two of them came and went quickly. When they arrived at the Zhao Manor, they saw a group of people waiting in front of the Zhao Manor.

After getting off the carriage, Su Wanwan walked in side by side with Qi Chengfeng. Qi Chengfeng held the fruit for Su Wanwan. The two of them were talking and laughing.

“Miss Zhao, listen to the decree!” The person who was waiting couldn’t help but shriek.

“Whose will?” Su Wanwan turned around and asked, only to discover that the person waiting was actually a group of eunuchs. Then she said, “Read it, it’s too cold. After reading it, you can go back to work.”

The eunuchs were angered by Su Wanwan’s attitude. Su Wanwan did not kneel down, but she actually wanted to chase them away!

“Eldest Miss Zhao, please kneel down and listen! This is an imperial edict!” The leading eunuch shouted and looked at Su Wanwan with disdain. “Don’t think that you don’t have to kneel before the Third Prince! Do you know what this imperial edict is for you to do? It’s to tear you apart from the Third Prince!”

“Huh?” Su Wanwan was puzzled, but she did not kneel.

Qi Chengfeng frowned, signaling the eunuch to read. The eunuch did not dwell on Su Wanwan’s kneeling problems. He raised his eyebrows and squinted at Su Wanwan, saying, “Feng Tian Cheng Yu, the Emperor has ordered that Su Wanwan is not a virtuous and virtuous person. She is not worthy of the Third Prince. Don’t have any more disputes with the Third Prince, otherwise she will be punished for bullying the Emperor else.”

Why does this imperial edict sound a little irregular? Moreover, why was this tone a little similar to what Imperial Consort Huang had said? Su Wanwan glanced at it and spat out a laugh, “Do you have the face to take out this imperial edict to fool me? Aren’t you afraid of being killed? There aren’t even any seals on it, are you all fantasizing about it?”

Those people looked at each other, their faces flushed red. They didn’t expect Su Wanwan to see through it! This imperial edict did not go through the Emperor’s mouth. It was the Imperial Consort who told them to do so, just to intimidate Su Wanwan and make her stop thinking about Qi Chengfeng.

Qi Chengfeng put Su Wanwan’s hand into his embrace and said, “Don’t worry about them. You’ve been out for so long, and your hands are cold. Hurry up and go back before you rest.”

Su Wanwan remained motionless. “What if what they said was true? How could you be so calm?”

“Naturally, I’m calm.” When Qi Chengfeng said that, the eunuchs were overjoyed. They thought that Su Wanwan was actually not important in Qi Chengfeng’s heart. However, Qi Chengfeng reached out and gently pinched Su Wanwan’s plump cheeks. “They’re talking about the Third Prince. If they really want to tear us apart, I won’t be the Third Prince!”

These words were truly shocking. In history, which prince was willing to give up imperial power for a woman!

Everyone thought that Qi Chengfeng was just joking. However, when they saw Qi Chengfeng looking at Su Wanwan, his eyes were as gentle as water. The spring light that he had seen seemed to light up in that instant, and they felt that what Qi Chengfeng said was true.

Everyone watched as Qi Chengfeng and Su Wanwan walked in side by side. The figures of one tall and one low seemed to match perfectly. Everyone immediately felt that the so-called “unworthy” that they had said was something they could only say with clumsy eyes.

Su Wanwan took the persimmon to Mrs. Zhao’s room, but she did not see Mrs. Zhao. The maidservant guarding the door was taking a nap. Su Wanwan said, “Where is Mrs. Zhao?”

The maidservant immediately opened her hazy eyes when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was Su Wanwan, she immediately said, “Yi, why are you here, miss? Didn’t you just go into the house to find your wife? You should be in the house.”

She didn’t come in just now! She was still talking to the eunuch at the door!

Hearing the maidservant’s words, Su Wanwan was stunned. The persimmon in her hand fell to the ground. Qi Chengfeng frowned at the side and immediately stepped into the room to find someone.

“Mother! Where are you?” Su Wanwan asked, but she did not hear anyone speak. She called for the maidservant to come over and look for Mrs. Zhao. She searched the room and did not see Mrs. Zhao’s shadow.

Asking where Madam Zhao was, the entire manor did not know. Su Wanwan panicked. Thinking of Shi Qin’er running along the wall of the Zhao Manor when she left, Shi Qin’er was very likely to climb over the wall and use the illusion to pretend to be her to take Madam Zhao away!

Su Wanwan immediately asked the entire manor to find someone, but still couldn’t find Madam Zhao!

Nuo Da’s mansion had never seen Zhao shi leave!

People can’t see, but animals can, right? Su Wanwan looked at the sparrow in the sky, her heart stirred. She ignored Qi Chengfeng and asked the servants to bring a piece of cake to the sparrow to sprinkle on the ground and feed it to the sparrow. After a while, she could talk to the sparrow.

The servant immediately went to bring the cake and bumped into the housekeeper who was running over hurriedly. The housekeeper hurriedly said, “Young miss, don’t go out today! A faceless corpse was found near the Silver Lake near our Zhao Clan! I wonder if the murderer will come in, but the little one has already increased the number of men to patrol!”

Su Wanwan only heard half of these words. Hearing those words, Su Wanwan always had a bad premonition in her heart. She always felt that the shameless corpse was very likely Madam Zhao!

“Bring a few more people! Go to Silver Lake!” As Su Wanwan spoke, she immediately stepped out.
