Quick Wear: When a Delicate Beauty Becomes Cannon Fodder

The Little Princess in the Palace (47)

  Cliff edge.

  Mao hour.

  The air was filled with clouds and mist, and the moisture was heavy in the air.

  A few clear chirps came from the birds on the branches, the sun pierced through the thick clouds, and brilliant golden light fell on the earth.

  Slowly the sky brightened.

  On the open space in front of the cliff, there were not many people belonging to Qi Guanyao. They gathered on one side and looked at the unconscious person on the ground.

  Ruan Ruan was still asleep at this moment. She woke up once during the process, then took the medicine again and then fainted again.

  To prevent her from missing the time, and to prevent her from being hurt for the time being.

  The time was almost up, Yunzhu squatted down beside Ruan Ruan, took out a porcelain bottle and shook it in front of her nose twice.

  Ruan Ruan slowly opened her eyes. The dagger in front of her neck was cold and sharp, and the blade was pressed against her skin, sinking slightly into her flesh.

  The effects of the medicine in her body had not yet dissipated, and she still felt a little weak.

  Everything before she fell into a coma was very clear in her mind, and she did not make any noise or cry after waking up.

  Ruan Ruan looked at Qi Guanyu who was standing not far away, then turned her head to glance at Yun Zhu who was squatting beside her, and had some guesses in her mind.

  In the plot, Yunzhu assassinated His Majesty, was it really for "her"?

  Or, she had been the regent from the very beginning.

  "Miss Ruan, nice to meet you again." Qi Guanyu leaned forward slightly and looked down at her.

  He stretched out a hand to Ruan Ruan, "Do you need me to help you up?"

  Ruan Ruan did not hold his hand, but said slowly and surely, "Yun Zhu has always been yours."

  She tried to get up, and the dagger at her neck pressed down slightly.

  Qi Guanyu scolded, "How can you be so rude to Miss Ruan?"

  But he didn't let Yunzhu move the dagger away at all.

  He withdrew his hand with a false smile on his face.

  "None of this has anything to do with you, right? You just need to know that you are very useful to me, and you will be fine until you lose your usefulness."

  Qi Guanyu moved closer to her, "Are you happy?"  

  He stood up and ordered someone to lift her up.

  ...

  Chen time.

  At the time agreed on on the letter, Qi Guanyao showed up on time with a large group of people.

  On the opposite side, Qi Guanyu was protected by his men behind him, while Ruan Ruan and Yun Zhu were alone in a corner of the cliff, away from anyone.

  Yun Zhu pinched Ruan Ruan's left arm with one hand and held the dagger against her neck with the other hand.

  The wind was strong at the cliff, blowing up the hair and clothes of the two people, as if they were about to fall in the next second.

  The two teams with huge disparity in strength faced each other at a not far distance.

  "Your Majesty, you are so punctual! It seems that I caught the right person this time, right?!"

  "What do you want?"

  "Don't be impatient. Your Majesty, it's time for you to listen to me carefully. I will be in the mood to talk to Your Majesty about something else after I have said enough."

  Qi Guanyu kept calling him "Your Majesty" but there was no respect at all, it seemed like he was being sarcastic.

  He ignored the strong wind at the cliff and played with the fan in his hand, "What? You have no patience?"

  "Then Miss Ruan might have to suffer a lot."

  After saying that, Yun Zhu pressed the dagger slightly, leaving a shallow line of blood on Ruan Ruan's neck.

  Qi Guanyu made a gesture, signaling Yunzhu to stop.

  Then he said to Qi Guanyao, "Are you patient now?"

  "Your Majesty!"

  Rong Yan hurried over and immediately saw the frail figure on the edge of the cliff.

  "Why is the Prime Minister here? Didn't we agree that you don't have to get involved in this matter? I remember everything I promised you." Because Qi Guanyao was present, he couldn't just say directly that he wouldn't hurt Ruan Ruan.

  He only said, "Prime Minister, please come here first. I will feel more at ease if you can keep an eye on Miss Ruan for me."
