The servant was dumbfounded and still a little obsessed, staring unblinkingly at the man in front of her.
But…
The man’s eyes carried a demonic light.
Boom!
Suddenly, a strong wind rose, sending the dumbfounded servant flying away. Her face turned pale as she stared at the good-looking man in front of her blankly.
The man did not say a word the whole time.
However, his eyes were cold, emotionless.
He raised his hand and once again set off a gale, which instantly flung her away again, crashing woefully on the wall.
Poof!
“You…” The servant spurted out a mouthful of blood; her face filled with confusion and anger. “Who the hell are you?”
Initially, she was confused by his beauty, but only later did she regain her senses. ‘This is the imperial residence. How did this man get in here freely?’
“This is a warning to you.”
The man licked the corner of his lips. ‘It’s a pity that my little girl is gentle and kind. She doesn’t like if I kill this servant.’
Since he met her back then, he had never killed anyone again.
So, he just said that and turned away, disappearing without a trace.
Even though his beauty dumbfounded the servant, she knew the importance of the matter. As soon as the man left, she immediately climbed up and rushed to Murong Qing.
When Murong Qing heard this, he could not help but worry about Nan Chiyou’s safety and hurriedly asked people to search for the man.
However, the people of the imperial residence searched for the entire day and couldn’t find the mysterious man that the servant had spoken of.
He then asked the physician to diagnose the servant but could not find any wound on her body.
Murong Qing’s face sank, and his pale and handsome face darkened.
“Take her down and get rid of her according to the rules.”
The servant girl panicked and said anxiously, “Your Highness, what I said is true. A strange man appeared in the backyard, and he was so stunning. I’m afraid that he has his eyes on Maiden Xia Xia.”
“Shut up!” Murong Qing snapped. “Your words will ruin Maiden Xia Xia’s reputation. I have to do something. Otherwise, people will think that Maiden Xia Xia is keeping a man in her room.”
Everyone knew that a girl’s reputation was very important.
Therefore, he would not allow anyone to ruin her reputation.
The servant panicked, but she could not say that she was the empress’ servant.
If she did, the empress might kill her, but if she did not, the emperor would only punish her.
Therefore, she did not resist when the guard pulled her out. Her face turned pale with grief.
“Your Highness, what I said is true. That man…”
The servant was dragged out before she could finish her words.
Murong Qing fell silent, pursing his lips.
The old butler standing next to Murong Qing asked, “Your Highness, we don’t know Maiden Xia Xia’s background. What if… She has ill intentions…”
“That won’t happen.”
Murong Qing lifted his handsome face. “Xia Xia is a kind girl, not a person with an evil-hearted. You don’t have to say much about this. She now has nowhere to go, and I can’t leave her alone.”
‘Maiden Xia Xia has said before that she was kicked out of her home. If I don’t take her in, I am afraid she might have no place to go…’
