On this day, Aqi was invited to appreciate the flowers.

After all, she was the most favored Princess An Ning in Southern Qi, and many people came to flatter her.

She didn't refuse all of them. She went if she was a little interested.

The main reason was that people in the dark were watching her, so it was not good to keep them waiting for too long. According to the information obtained by Luzhu and Hongzhu, those people should be from Concubine Li's family, arranged by the Su family.

When she arrived at the place, she found that there were quite a lot of princesses and princes who came today, even Cui Jing was there. When Cui Jing saw her, her face didn't look very good. She had completely lost the spirit that she had when she stopped her convoy that day. It seemed that she had lost the edge that she had defeated last time.

There were five princes in Southern Qi.

There were nine princesses, and Cui Jing was the youngest.

Although Song Chong doted on his first eight daughters, he was also prepared to send them to Northern Qi. However, he didn't know that Northern Qi didn't want them at all and was determined to take the one he loved the most.

Today is the flower-viewing festival. Many princes and princesses have come, but not all of them are here.

Cui Jing is now among the princes and princesses, and it seems that she has quickly integrated into the group.

These princes and princesses themselves did not like the Ninth Princess very much. They accepted Cui Jing not because they liked her. There were two reasons: one was that A'qi did not like Cui Jing, and the other was that Cui Jing was blessed.

If they knew Cui Jing was the real Ninth Princess, they would not show anything on the surface, but they would definitely not be as close to her as they are now.

As soon as A'rui appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, especially Cui Jing and the princes and princesses.

They stood together in perfect harmony, while Ah Qi stood in another place, looking out of tune with them, and the onlookers were all lost in thought. Although Princess An Ning was favored, she was not popular. It was said that she had a bad temper and liked to bully Cui Jing since she was a child.

"Is the Ninth Princess here too?"

Ah Qi looked up at the person who was speaking, Song Li, the fifth prince of Southern Qi. The other party also blocked Cui Jing subtly, as if he was afraid that Ah Qi would do something to Cui Jing, which made people laugh.

"Fifth brother, please don't block me. I saw Cui Jing there," Ah Qi smiled, "Are you afraid that I will bully her? I never asked her to serve tea or water, and I never beat her. I don't know how the rumors spread that I can't tolerate her and bully her all the time. How did the things in the palace spread outside?"

"A few years ago, it seems that two servants were beaten to death in the Fifth Brother's mansion. It was indeed their fault that they stole the vases in the Fifth Brother's mansion and resold them. But theft is generally not punishable by death. It is enough to send them to the government for punishment."

Song Li's face froze.

"Second brother, your eyes are so wary of me. I'm afraid that people will think I'm some kind of monster, and it seems that I want to beat her." Ah Qi tilted her head and stared at Cui Jing, but she was asking the second prince Song Wei, "Except for sending her to Northern Qi, I don't think I did anything to her, right? From the looks of you, it seems that I'm going to beat her up if I see her."

"I have lost my reputation. I just came back and everyone in the city knows that I bullied Cui Jing. I don't know who spread the word. Why is it that when you exercise your rights as princes and princesses, no one says anything, but when I exercise them, everyone in the city knows about it and everyone blames me?" Ah Qi was full of curiosity. "It's so strange."

"I remember last time a young master accidentally blocked the Second Prince's path and was whipped so hard that his bones were broken. He was bedridden for three months, but no one spread the news that the Second Prince bullied that young master."

Song Wei's face turned pale. How did she know all this? It's been many years.

"Third sister, you seem to hate me too? You can't even hide it with that look in your eyes." Asui looked at Song Shu who was whispering something to Cui Jing. He secretly glanced at her from time to time and immediately changed his target.

"And that Miss Li, her fiancé was snatched away by the Third Princess, but I haven't heard anyone outside say anything bad about the Third Princess."

The third princess Song Shu's face changed drastically. Before she could think about it, she heard Ah Qi say, "I heard that Miss Li is still ill and is recuperating in the manor."

Whether she was recuperating or was afraid that she would come out and disturb Song Shu, only they themselves knew.

A'rui has arranged for someone to contact Miss Li, but he doesn't know whether she is willing to leave and do something else.

It was a nice and lively flower viewing festival, but after Ah Qi pointed out these things, everyone felt uncomfortable.

But Cui Jing was the one who was shocked. She was a little afraid to look at those people who were close to her on weekdays. Behind the bright and gentle appearance, there were so many things going on? Song Qi was talking nonsense. But they did not refute.

"I made a mistake that time," said Song Wei.

Song Li said: "I just wanted to teach them a lesson, but my subordinates didn't know the seriousness of the matter."

"The prince consort had no interest in Miss Li, and the two families discussed breaking off the engagement." Song Shu said, "If they had no interest in each other, being together would not have led to any result. Even without me, they would not have been able to be together."

But after the three of them finished talking, they realized that Ah Qi was admiring a flower, as if he was just talking casually and didn't take it seriously at all. The three of them felt a little embarrassed and left in a hurry when no one was paying attention.

"You didn't go around telling people that this princess bullied you, did you?"

A'qi's voice suddenly sounded in Cui Jing's ears, startling her.

She said, “I don’t have any.”

"You wouldn't do any of this if you knew you didn't have it."

Ah Qi added: "But someone will help you. You don't have to do this at all."

Chenggong saw that Cui Jing, who had been so tough just now, suddenly turned pale. A'rui was happy and walked away.

Cui Jing clenched her fists. Yes, she knew that someone would help her say this. She only needed to act a little aggrieved and countless people would speculate about it.

How come Song Qi is so smart?

Today, Aqi is happy to enjoy the flowers.

On the way back, he picked a large bunch of them and put them in the carriage. He had intended to give some to Concubine Li, but they were so beautiful that he couldn't bear to give them away.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air rang in the ears, and an arrow pierced into the carriage so fast that no one else could react.

Asui moved slightly, and the arrow hit the carriage.

Hongzhu and Luzhu were stunned for a moment, but they were not afraid and quickly called for people to protect them.

They have practiced martial arts in the past two years, but they are still far from perfect.

Your Majesty has his own ideas and will probably not take action today, but Your Majesty has "hired" a few masters to be around him, so dealing with these assassins should be no problem.

There was the sound of swords clashing outside, but it soon became quiet.

Hongzhu and Luzhu opened the curtain, and Ah Qi walked out. Looking at the corpses scattered all over the floor, and the only one alive, she said, "It's worth it that I spent a lot of money to invite you here."

Several masters were ashamed. They felt that they could not bear such praise. They could not withstand two moves in front of His Majesty.

Are these people looking for death?
Ah Qi returned to the carriage, supporting his chin with his hand, thinking.

I don’t know what other tricks they have.

"Protect that living person and don't let anyone kill him. Interrogate him thoroughly." She said to the people outside. In fact, it didn't matter whether the person could be interrogated or not, as long as the person was alive.

Isn't it her who has the final say on whether the interrogation can reveal the truth or not?

In the palace, Concubine Li soon learned that the Su family had failed and that a person had been caught alive, and she was horrified. (End of this chapter)
