30: For the Sake of Sleeping with the State Preceptor I

For the Sake of Sleeping with the State Preceptor I

The news of the attempted assassination upon Feng Ruqing had immediately reached Feng Tianyu's ears. Feng Tianyu was having a discussion with some ministers when he was told about it. He was extremely furious, which scared the ministers to death. Nobody dared to anger him anymore at this moment.1

"Find it out! Investigate it immediately! I want to know who had the nerve to touch my beloved daughter!"

Qing'er had just left the palace not long ago and someone had already tried to kill her! If the assassin was not caught, wouldn't the whole world think his daughter as an easy target?

"One more thing." Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes, which flashed with fury for a moment. He continued, "Feng Rushuang faked an imperial decree and threatened the beast court. Let her reflect upon her misdeed in the palace, and she is not allowed to appear within the three-meter radius of the princess manor." 

Actually, Feng Tianyu was aware that Noble Consort Rong did not dare to rebel against him. Qing'er had changed for the better, so he would not let this mother and daughter lead Qing'er astray again.

Thus, he followed Feng Ruqing's words and temporarily put Feng Rushuang on house arrest, so that she would not cause trouble outside.

"As you command."

The imperial guard bowed respectfully and was ready to leave.

However, just as the imperial guard was about to leave the main door, Feng Tianyu spoke again, "Hold on, arrange more skilled fighters to protect Qing'er. Do not let her find out about it. She doesn't like being followed by many people."

There was a year when he ordered people to follow Qing'er whenever she went out with Feng Rushuang. Qing'er would be furious every time he did it. After that, he only dared to ask them to follow her secretly without her knowledge.

Nevertheless, this beloved daughter of his totally did not understand the reason behind his action. She would either quarrel with him or ignore him. In fact, Feng Rushuang and Noble Consort Rong held higher positions in her heart compared to her biological father.

A throwback of various past incidents played in Feng Tianyu's mind. He chuckled bitterly. Luckily, his daughter was more mature now. So he would not be ashamed to see Yan'er in future … 

… 

At the princess manor, Qing Ling stood in front of the beast cage with the Snow Wolf locked inside, gazing at each other.

Looking at this Snow Wolf dazedly, she then tilted her body toward Feng Ruqing and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, where did you get this Snow Wolf from?"

"It's a gift from Feng Rushuang."

Feng Ruqing stroked her chin thinking that she had burnt a big hole in Feng Rushuang's savings this time, which improved her mood instantly.

"Qing Ling, Liu Li, both of you take good care of this Snow Wolf. If it causes any disturbance, inform me immediately."

This Snow Wolf was still a Tier-3 spirit beast. Its cultivation level was equivalent to a True Warrior on earth. With Feng Ruqing's current cultivation, she still could not tame the Snow Wolf, that was why it was temporarily kept in the cage.

"But…" Qing Ling muttered distressfully, "This Snow Wolf, it keeps staring at me …"

It seemed like she had stolen the Snow Wolf's food.

"If it stares at you, you just do the same by staring back at it," Feng Ruqing replied casually. She added, "One more thing. If anyone is looking for me during this period, I won't see them. I will be busy studying about my herbs farm. I might also discuss weight loss with others as well."

Qing Ling's eyes widened in shock.

Did she hear wrong? The princess … was planning to lose weight?

Didn't she only eat meat and sugary food all this while?

"Your Highness, why do you want to lose weight all of a sudden?"

The moment Qing Ling said those words, the first thing that came to Feng Ruqing's mind was the state preceptor's calm face.

"To sleep with the state preceptor, of course."
