The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapters 16. Miscomprehension

"Who are you really? Tell me where's my non?" bai Liu asked in a hoarse voice. In confusion and fear tears dripped from his eyes.

Liu Qingqing got up to sit on the edge of the bed. He looked at Bai Liu as he said in a soft voice. "Liu'er, it's you."

"No! You're not my non! You're a bad guy!" yai Liu shouted. He was still standing there with tears streaming down. Anger and sadness mixed into one prompted him to again shout, "How could my non be a ruthless killer like you? Even killing insects only my non dare not!"

'The ruthless killer' managed to silence Liu Qingqing's mouth tightly. It was as if a large hunk of stone had been placed on the woman's shoulder, making her head deeply to hide all kinds of emotions in her heart. There was no sentence that Liu Qingqing deserved to say in self-defense because in reality she was indeed a murderer, whether in the modern world or in the present world.

Although the woman's soul had been drawn to a foreign place thousands of years away to live life as the daughter of the great general of Zhao Kingdom, she still could not clear the bloodstains on her hands. It was as if the name 'Killer' had become a proper name for him to bear. Such a shackle was fastened very tightly to his body and could not be released for any reason.

Fires of anger overflowed in Bai Liu's eyes. "Why are you silent? Tell me where are you hiding my non? What exactly did you do to my non?"

Bai Liu's current attitude had never been imagined by Liu Qingqing. It was like a piercing thorn in his heart giving an incredible pain. He did not know what kind of defense was worth expressing. All the intelligence of the woman on an ordinary day seemed to disappear somewhere and not restless.

After a long time, Liu Qingqing finally raised her face to look at Bai Liu. He found tears rushing from Bai Liu's eyes. He felt pain in his heart. "Liu'er, you don't cry. You're right, I don't deserve to be your non. I'm just a ruthless killer."

Liu Qingqing's voice raspy and her speech carried a trace of sadness that was hard to explain. He got up from the bed then walked closer towards Bai Liu with hesitation. The girl's eyes were framed red with a clear puddle of water.

Bai Liu took a step back to keep his distance from Liu Qingqing. The girl's body shivered with fear as if what she was facing right now was not her none, but a cold-blooded killer. "You stop there, don't come any closer! I don't want to be like A Heng and Guo Li!"

Aware of Bai Liu's fear, Liu Qingqing could only comply. He didn't go any further. Her puddles of tears could not be dammed anymore and it fell down on her cheeks in an instant. In the heart of the woman felt an indescribable pain.

The truth will be revealed even if it is well hidden. However, Liu Qingqing never expected it to be revealed in this way. In this world there are still thousands of other best-case scenarios to uncover the curtain of truth, but why should misunderstandings complicate them both.

A long, sinister silence was rotting in the room. They just silently embraced the sadness in bitterness. The relationship of the miss and subordinates becomes a vague thread due to misunderstandings.

Liu Qingqing wiped her tears, then said in a soft voice. "Liu'er, please give me some time. I'll tell you about everything when the time is right. You just have to believe that I'm your non who will always protect you."

"Stop saying that! You are not my non!" Bai Liu could not accept Liu Qingqing's statement. The girl's tears grew even more intense and she ran away leaving Liu Qingqing alone.

Liu Qingqing did not chase after Bai Liu. He stood there and cried again.

"Liu'er, I know you must have been devastated by this incident. I'm sorry, Liu'er. I'm actually not your non, anyway" Liu Qingqing muttered softly.

Liu Qingqing wiped her tears, then took a deep breath. He suppressed all his sadness with a bitter taste. Then he walked out to call someone.

Liu Qingqing said, "You keep an eye on Bai Liu, if he comes out of the residence follow him secretly. You have to take good care of her, don't let anything bad happen to her!"

"Well, Big Miss, I understand." After saying that, the guard immediately went to execute the order.

Autumn not only dropped the leaves on the tree, but it also managed to shed the good relations between the pair of misses and subordinates. This makes them distant and at odds because of things that are difficult to explain.

In the afternoon, a square box made of wood with the best quality was delivered to Yiyuan Palace. That place was none other than the residence of the first prince, Zhou Yicheng. The building erected on the east side was not far from the royal palace.

As usual Zhou Yicheng was with Guan Zhong. They are enjoying the beauty of twilight in a fairly spacious yard. A set of tea devices was on the table with two cups having been used by them.

A skinny servant approached them. He held a square box in his hand. "Your Majesty, this was sent by Second Miss Liu's subordinate to you."

"Have you checked?" ask Zhou Yicheng.

The servant replied, "Not yet, Your Majesty. The sender said, 'My son sent this gift to His Highness the First Prince and asked him to open it himself', so we dare not check the box."

"Give me the box and you can go!" pinta Guan Zhong as he rose from his seat.

The maid immediately left after handing over the gift box.

Guan Zhong placed the box on the table right in front of Zhou Yicheng. Then sit back to where it was. "Your Majesty, why did Miss Liu Qingqing send out a gift so suddenly?"

Zhou Yicheng withdrew the tip of his lips forming a smile. "Maybe he's already considered my good intentions and changed his mind. He expressed his apology through this gift, hoping I wouldn't be so calculated with the matter of that time."

Guan Zhong also showed a good expression. "He's pretty smart about doing this. After being pushed to the front of the abyss of death, Miss Liu Qingqing must have understood that she needed your protection, Your Majesty."

"If you hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have come to help her while she was being attacked by a killer." Zhou Yicheng stretched out his hand, touching the gift box with a gentle gesture.

Guan Zhong slightly smiled as he said, "If Your Majesty were to help her back then it would only make Miss Song hate Miss Liu Qingqing even more. It's good that we let him feel a little pain so as not to be too stubborn. We understand clearly that Miss Song is unlikely to kill her directly. He was only intending to scare Miss Liu Qingqing."

"That's true, but it's a pity that I can't see her terrified expression." Zhou Yicheng slightly sighed.
