The General's Genius Daughter

"Ask him to come!" Queen Liu's beautiful eyes were suddenly brightened. Since Shui Qianruo was willing to come, he must be interested in cooperating with her.

Shui Qianruo was still in a white robe under which his pale and wan face became even more horrible; his entire body looked like a lifeless corpse.

Generally, when people saw him, they would somehow tremble and feel scared.

Xiaohuan lowered her eyes and dared not see Shui Qianruo's eyes.

"Shui Qianruo meets Her Highness." Shui Qianruo just slightly bowed, but Queen Liu disregarded this action. Not everyone should kneel down when visiting the Empress. People with dignified identities, such as some senior Qi Artists or poisoners, pharmacists, were allowed to ignore etiquette when they visited the Emperor and the Empress.

"Xiaohuan works for me. Master Shui, let me put this in a straightforward way: do you, have any interest in coorperating with me? Of course, you will get the person you want, and I, will completely get the entire thing that I want."

Queen Liu calmly turned the teacup in her hands and said with a slight smile.

Shui Qianruo's bleak eyes brightened a lot, "Does the Queen mean what she says?"

"As long as Master Shui is interested, I'll let you have a chance to be with the beauty, and then you can carry out what I want to accomplish."

In Shui Qianruo's deep mind, that beauty's charming smiling face and her pure eyes appeared; as clear as the moon at night, printed deep in his heart.

Desire swelled up in his heart. Shui Qianruo had been thinking poorly of Hua Qiyue. After all, she was an ordinary woman; what kind of influence would she have on a great poisoner?

"I hope Her Highness will keep her words!" Shui Qianruo slightly twiched his mouth. What he said surprised and enlivened Queen Liu.

What he said, implied that he was willing to cooperate with Queen Liu?

"Master Shui, don't worry. I'm the honorable Queen, how would I break my word? Xiaohuan, send Master Shui off. After all, the master works for His Majesty, it would be bad to stay in my palace for a long while. Of course... about the details, I'll figure out how to communicate with you." Queen Liu smiled, suddenly in high spirits.

Shui Qianruo nodded, then calmly turned around and left.

At the same time, Hua Qiyue and Tianci had finished their meals, although they didn't have the mood to eat after hearing the strange cry.

"Mom, let's go home right now!" Anyway, the little guy would of course feel a little scared because he wasn't sophisticated enough.

If her son was strong enough, then he would no longer be scared of these things.

"Tianci, your adoptive father is back." Hua Qiyue said calmly. When getting lost in those matters just now, she had already made a certain decision.

"Daddy, you're back?" Tianci had forgotten who the owner of the tower was, and excitedly ran to Yun Shimo, "What's was that cry just now? I'm so scared!"

Yun Shimo's facial expression had become as peaceful as water again, and his eyes surprisingly had no murderous looks. Seeing this, Hua Qiyue felt relieved. But she still dared not relax; after all, Prince Nan had a mysterious identity. Besides, that weird cry just now...

Hua Qiyue stood up and drew Tianci aside, "We've finished our meals, Prince Nan. Thank you treating us, we have to go back now!"

Immediately, her inner anima energy secretly gathered together in her hands. That way, if Yun Shimo or Bingyi suddenly made a move on her, she was still able to make it possible for Tianci to leave!

At least, she would burst out all the spiritual energies in her body and perish together with them.

Yun Shimo's black eyes slightly emitted a kind of complicated light. He stared at Hua Qiyue for a while, and finally quietly looked towards Tianci, saying in a gentle voice, "Tianci, did you really have enough?"

"Of course, Daddy! Of course, I won't tell anyone else what happened just now!" Tianci innocently blinked his eyes. In his heart, Yun Shimo was a person that he could totally rely on.

Hua Qiyue frowned slightly. Yun Shimo smiled, and his cold face made him a warm person because of his own bright smile. He lightly dropped his gentle stare on Hua Qiyue, which made her feel like receiving an electric shock all over her body, suddenly becoming numb.

What... what... what was this look of his?

Hua Qiyue avoided his eyes with a little panic, and she didn't really understand why she felt so. Then, she pulled Tianci and hurriedly ran outside. In this moment, she unexpectedly forgot to take preventive measures!

"Your Highness..." Bingyi called in a low voice when he looked at the hurriedly leaving backs of Hua Qiyue and Tianci.

Yun Shimo stood there silently, and his eyes were slightly dull when he saw them leaving.

"Your Highness, are you really letting them go like this?"

"No one should make a move on Hua Qiyue and Tianci without my order!" Yun Shimo's facial expression became serious and he ordered coldly. Bingyi was shocked and he was still unwilling to give it up. He said, "But... inside the tower is... the secret of Prince Nan's mansion!"

"Don't you understand what I said just now?" All of a sudden, Yun Shimo's eyes became cold as if they were filled with thousand-year ice, which made Bingyi shake with his entire body, and he had to bow his head. He replied, "Yes, as you wish!"

Yun Shimo turned around, sitting on Tianci's seat, and went on eating his meal. Due to what happened just now, he actually hadn't finished his meal yet.

Now, the meals on the table were all cold, but it was no big deal in such a hot summer. However, Bingyi couldn't bear this and said, "Your Highness, the meals are cold. Please let me heat them up, okay?"

"Don't bother," Yun Shimo calmly refused and finished those cold meals silently. Just now, there were three people sitting at the table; but now, he was left alone. Somehow, in Yun Shimo's heart, there was a pervading sense of slight sadness and loneliness.

He seemed to still be surrounded by that woman's fragrance.

He was still surrounded by that little guy's innocent laughter, as well.

Everything was so wonderful and perfect... However, he could do nothing, because he had something more important to finish.

————————

Hua Qiyue took Tianci out of Prince Nan's mansion safe and sound. She was completely relieved. Yun Shimo didn't intend to kill her; otherwise, it would be really dangerous tonight.

Yun Shimo didn't kill her and Tianci, which surprised Hua Qiyue a little. After all, according to his reaction, someone, who couldn't be exposed to the public, must have been locked in that tower. What kind of people would make Yun Shimo so nervous?

A series of puzzles made Hua Qiyue unprecedentedly confused. If Prince Nan did have a secret that shouldn't be known by others, wasn't he afraid that she would leak this?

Just when she was confused by these matters, Hua Qiyue suddenly felt that someone was tailing after them from behind and keeping watch.

She intentionally drew Tianci aside to a stand that sold sugar water, then squatted down and said, "Tianci, do you want sugar water?"

Tianci's eyes brightened. This little guy got much fatter since he moved in the Hua's Mansion.

Now, he was white, fat and extremely adorable, which should be owed to his foodie quality.

"Yes! Yes! Yes, I want! Sweet! Sweet! That's so sweet!" "Although Daddy has very delicious desserts in his mansion, the sugar water here is also delicious and sweet!" Tianci immediately sat on an empty seat nearby. He said, "Uncle, could you please give me two bowls of sugar water? One is for my Mom, the other is mine!"

"Hey, is this Princess Jinghua?" The uncle who sold sugar water recognized Hua Qiyue at a glance.

Hua Qiyue nodded slightly to the uncle, "Yes I am, uncle."

The uncle laughed, "Great! Great! These two bowls of sugar water are free for Your Highness and the son of the feudal lord, ho ho ho!"

Of course, Hua Qiyue refused. After all, these old men earned their lives by selling sugar water. If she abused her power and reputation to obtain free food, then wouldn't it ruin their livelihood?

When talking with the uncle, Hua Qiyue looked around secretly, only to see a man in white standing near the alley behind her. She paused and felt a little surprised.

That man, wasn't he Huangfu Xuan? He, the dignified son of a feudal lord, was once Hua Qiyue's fiance, but he just didn't like his loser fiancee and sent her a divorce letter?

Hua Qiyue was filled with curiousity. 'Why did this guy follow me?'

"Caiqing, Caining!"

Hua Qiyue called coldly.

These two secret guards suddenly appeared next to Hua Qiyue as soon as she called them, just like lightning.

"My liege," Caiqing calmly answered in a low voice, and he also noticed that someone was secretly following Hua Qiyue.

Caiqing and Caining didn't know Huangfu Xuan, but they knew that he was unusual from his attire.

"Keep watch on Huangfu Xuan and see what actions he'll take!" Hua Qiyue said calmly; she was sure that Huangfu Xuan had no intention to do harm to her, but she was very curious about why this man was keeping watch on her...

"Yes, Madam!" Caiqing said in a low voice, while Caining snorted and clearly showed her reluctance to Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue had no time to haggle over such things with Caining. She, together with Tianci, casually got on the carriage and left after finishing their sugar water. The uncle and the granny, who sold sugar water, all inwardly praised Hua Qiyue for her proper behavior and easy-going attitude.

If it were other daughters or infantas from the big families, they of course would have looked down upon such a small sugar water stand.

Hua Qiyue took the carriage to the Hua's Mansion, while there were no news about Huangfu Xuan. She was a little surprised; what on earth did he intend to do?

"My lord, Huangfu Xuan didn't follow you when he got around the corner in front of the mansion," Caiqing reported.

Hua Qiyue nodded and didn't keep such a trivial matter in mind. After dinner, she intended to let Tianci follow Youshui and Lv Xin to take a bath so that she could enter the Mysterious World to cultivate.

After all, Queen Liu lost this time and Hua Qiyue had no idea what Queen Liu would do about her next time. So, anyway, it would be the best to be stronger.

At the same time, Huangfu Xuan lingered around the corner in front of the Hua's Mansion, and he patted on his head heavily, "What's wrong with me? Why did I follow that loser? Hmm!"

After saying this, Huangfu Xuan was about to turn around and leave, but he gave a deep look at the Hua's Mansion. Actually, he had been restless the whole day and he had also been planning to go around. Unexpectedly, he met with Hua Qiyue who intended to go to Prince Nan's mansion.

Huangfu Xuan and Prince Nan got along very well, and Huangfu Xuan could definitely enter Prince Nan's mansion whenever he wished. Yet somehow, he didn't want to meet with Hua Qiyue at Prince Nan's mansion.

Even so, there was an inexplicable impulse that forced him to do so.

'But... that loser infanta didn't see me, did she?' Huangfu Xuan reluctantly left, now heading to the feudal lord son's mansion, being a little angry at thought of the day when Tianci called Yun Shimo 'Daddy'.

'That loser, how did she make friends with bro Yun? No way, I must figure it out... Oh, right, why do I care about the loser Hua Qiyue?' Huangfu Xuan went back and thought about these matters, which made him distracted.
