Fu Qingjiu's pale face had appeared to be drained of blood. She had never thought that this snake could speak.

“No, it's not like that…” She shook her head reluctantly. She was panicking greatly as she walked toward Nan Xian.

At this moment, Nan Xian narrowed his eyes as his gaze fell on Fu Qingjiu.

Fu Qingjiu felt a chill down her spine as Nan Xian was staring at her with his cold eyes. She froze, not knowing what to do as she just stared at the face that had fascinated her so much.

Tears were suddenly streaming down her face, as light reflected off the tears, the tears looked like they were sparkling in the air.

She wiped away the tears using the back of her hand, revealing her beautiful face that had turned paler under the sunlight.

Her face looked colorless.

“Would you believe me if I said that I meant no harm to anyone and that I have never insulted her?”

There was hope in her beautiful eyes.

It seemed like she did not want to give up on her love until now. Even with just an ounce of trust from Nan Xian, she would do anything for him.

Qing Zhu was so furious as it stared at Fu Qingjiu with its vicious eyes.

“This bad woman is lying!”

Was it the kind of snake that would talk nonsense?

Qing Zhu turned and looked at Nan Xian again. “Master, you don't even know how this bad woman had humiliated our princess when you were unconscious. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d named Fu Qingjiu had even threatened Xiao Qing to address her as ‘Mother' and told the princess to leave them alone or else she would kill the princess.”

Fu Qingjiu's face changed dramatically. When had she said such things? And why did she not know it?

The people in the palace were already suspicious when they saw Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian were together. Now, after listening to Qing Zhu's words, all of them were staring at Fu Qingjiu in disbelief.

‘Princess Qingjiu always has high self-esteem, but how could Her Highness make such a mistake like an ordinary person?'

‘She's a fairy-like princess who looked so otherworldly, gentle and kind! She would not harm anyone in the world. But why is the fairy-like princess so crazy about love now just as any ordinary person would?'

They did not understand and they would never understand the princess.

“I didn't!” Fu Qingjiu panicked. She bit her lower lip as tears flowed from her eyes. “I didn't do that. Young Master, will you believe me? I have never said such a thing. This snake is slandering me.”

Nan Xian looked expressionless. “It is my pet and if I say that my pet did not lie, it did not lie.”

Even if Qing Zhu had purposely slandered the princess, he would take it seriously.

After all, this matter had dragged Qing'er down.

Fu Qingjiu was stiffened in the light breeze as if she had been petrified. Even though it was early summer, she could still feel the chill all over her body. It felt too cold that she could not help but tightly wrap her arms around herself.

It turns out that she had just flattered herself over these past few months.

She had saved his life, but he did not appreciate it and did not even trust her in the slightest bit…

Ridiculous. It was so ridiculous!

“Qingjiu…” Fu Yu's face darkened as he turned to Feng Ruqing, asking a question that everyone had ignored just now, “This little snake called you ‘princess' and it makes me wonder which kingdom you are from. You have used Tianyue Kingdom's name to enter my kingdom, but I don't remember any princess like you in Tianyue Kingdom. Then, who the h.e.l.l are you!”
