With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Chapter 304 If You Want to Leave, I Will Help You

Nanqi was a little confused. The momentum he had just shown when facing Xu Zining disappeared completely, and his face was full of confusion.

"Don't you want to be a princess?"

"In no mood!"

"Why? Is it because of what the master said last night?"

Without waiting for Shu He to answer, he explained directly, "The master was just too angry last night. He was in a rage, so his words were a bit harsh. Don't bother with him!"

"After all, you are Xiao Yi'er's mother. A royal descendant cannot be left alone. Yi'er must return to her roots. When the time comes, as Yi'er's mother, what will you be if not a princess?"

You can't be a concubine, right?

It’s a good thing that he didn’t say the last sentence, otherwise, Shu He would definitely break up with him after hearing it!

"Does Yi'er have to recognize her ancestors and return to her roots?"

Shu He paused and asked him seriously, "Nanqi, what do you think the chances of success are if I take Yi'er with me?"

The remote official road was silent, and everything was covered in white snow. The cold wind blew the snow off the trees, which dazzled his eyes.

He stared at her, studying her closely, but he couldn't see any sign of a joke in her eyes or expression.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Nanqi frowned tightly, and after a while, he shook his head with an expression of "impossible" in his eyes.

"You may not have a clear idea of your master's strength."

"Let me put it this way. As long as we are in the Tianqi territory, as long as the master is willing, there will be no one we cannot find and no things we do not know."

"Even in the four surrounding nations, the master has arranged for manpower. If he is truly determined, he will surely turn the surroundings upside down and dig deep into the ground to find you!"

"So, if you want to escape, it's almost impossible!"

Shu He's face turned grim, and he snorted coldly, "If he's really that capable, why doesn't he know anything about what happened back then? And..."

And you said that to her!

As if he could see through her thoughts, Nan Qi couldn't help but explain, "What happened back then wasn't that the master couldn't find out, but that he didn't want to find out."

At this point, he paused, "You can't deny that you were really useless back then, and, and..."

"It's still very ugly, isn't it?" Seeing his embarrassed look, Shu He said it directly for him.

"You said that yourself!" Nanqi responded quickly, as if he had escaped a disaster.

"I don't know if you've heard the rumors about Kyoto back then, but I feel ashamed after hearing them..."

Shu He was slightly stunned.

Rumors in Kyoto?

She seemed to have never heard of it.

She was sent away from the manor that night. Later, when she met Shu Yue, she mentioned a little about it. However, judging from her smug look, the rumor must be very unpleasant.

"The master himself is a proud and aloof man. He has always kept himself clean and has never had any feelings for anyone in his life. He doesn't like women to begin with, but who would have thought that he would fall into such trouble one day..."

"The once-famous King Dongli became a laughingstock after that incident. During that time, even his servants looked at him with frivolity and mockery!"

"Although the master appears to be indifferent, we all know that he is very concerned about this matter. Otherwise, he would not have forbidden us to investigate everything related to you."

Shu He's expression was complicated. He really didn't expect that Baili Moqing, who was so popular back then, would be so troubled by rumors.

"He forbade you to investigate anything related to me?"

Nanqi nodded and walked back with her, chatting like ordinary friends.

"Yes, not just you, anything related to the Shu family is forbidden to be mentioned!"

Nan Qi thought his words would make Shu He forgive Baili Moqing, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

A wry smile appeared on her face. "So Shu He is so disgusting in his eyes."

"Even though I've known him for so long as 'Sheaf of Grains', I can't change the grudge he holds towards that person..."

The forest was icy cold, but it couldn't compare to the chill in her heart.

She stopped and asked, "Nanqi, if that's the case, do you still want me to be his princess? Or just a concubine?"

"Just because I want to give Yi'er an identity, I have to lose my whole life?"

Shu He looked at him. She always treated him as a friend, not someone's subordinate, nor a general, but just a friend who she could get along with.

What about him? What kind of existence does she hold in his heart?

Nanqi stood there in a daze, looking at the woman in front of him. The casualness and laziness in his eyes disappeared, and seriousness filled his eyes.

She seemed a little different from when we first met.

The first time I saw her, she was decisive and clean in her killing. Even without any internal strength, she was able to scare a group of bandits into submission.

At that time, she was full of ruthlessness and murderous aura, and her body was emaciated. She looked like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.

But now, her complexion is becoming more rosy, and her dry face has grown some flesh, and her whole face has become much fuller. Looking closely, her facial features are delicate, her lips are red, and her teeth are white. She has become a great beauty without realizing it.

However, the cruelty and murderous aura in her body had disappeared. At this moment, except for a bit of spirit and purity in her eyes, she seemed to be surrounded by a touch of sadness and melancholy, which made his heart ache and feel blocked.

She is a person who loves freedom and is unconventional. She has no concept of rules and hierarchy. If she really enters the palace and becomes a concubine or a maid, then when the prince marries a wife in the future, she will definitely be suppressed, right?

By then, would she lose even the little spiritual energy she had left?

A red plum blossom stretches out from the white snow, standing tall against the wind. Its delicate fragrance drifts across the vast expanse of heaven and earth. Even if the fragrance doesn't spread ten miles away, it still makes those around it feel relaxed and happy.

She is like that red wild plum, she should be free and bloom freely...

He took quite a while to think about it, so long that a hint of self-mockery appeared in Shu He's pupils.

She lowered her eyes in disappointment and was about to turn around when she heard Nanqi behind her say, "If you want to leave..."

Shu He's body trembled, and he waited nervously for his next words.

Until she heard the words, "I'll help you!" a relieved smile finally appeared on her face.
