The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapters 18. The presence of Zhou Yicheng

On a clear morning, the Liu Residence was decorated by the sacred presence of Zhou Yicheng. This time he came alone with a face like crumpled paper. The smile that was accompanying her arrival last time was as if it was being shed by the autumn wind. This is obviously due to the problem of the gift box yesterday.

Zhou Yicheng's arrival caused quite a commotion. He pushed the person guarding the entrance. Even he did not allow someone to relay the news of his arrival first. The man directly entered the residence just like that with long, hasty steps.

A guard followed Zhou Yicheng at high speed along the way. He screamed repeatedly. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, you are not allowed to enter just like that!"

Zhou Yicheng did not care about the guards' cries. He continued to barge in to meet Liu Qingqing. Anger seemed to adorn his handsome face.

"Your Majesty, please stop! Big Miss doesn't allow anyone to disturb her!" yell that waitress once again. He was still trying to stop Zhou Yicheng from going any further.

Zhou Yicheng did not bother to stop his footsteps when he said, "Little people like you dare to stop me! Once my business is done, I will definitely kill you!"

The guard was scared. "But, Your Highness, Big Miss ...."

Before the guard could finish his words sounded someone interjecting from the side. "In the morning you've made a fuss! Can't you let this house lady sleep any longer? Your Majesty, at least you should be willing to wait a little if you want to meet me!"

Liu Qingqing emerged from the half-closed workspace. His face was not as bright as the sky this morning. The girl's voice was a little hoarse like someone just woke up. He was not surprised at all at Zhou Yicheng's presence as if it had already entered his prediction.

The guard immediately bowed to pay his respects. In a hint of fear he said, "Big Miss, sorry I couldn't keep her from entering."

Liu Qingqing waved her hand, telling the guards to get up. "It's okay, I get it. You can go and have the kitchen prepare the tea I brought yesterday!"

"Okay, Big Miss." The guard immediately left his place to carry out Liu Qingqing's orders.

After the departure of guard Liu Qingqing invited Zhou Yicheng into the study. They sat facing each other in a long silence.

Before long two maids came carrying a set of tea supplies and some snacks. They moved all the luggage onto the table. Their movements were extremely cautious, not allowing the slightest mistake to occur.

Liu Qingqing became the first to speak. "Your Majesty, what are you coming for?"

"Second Miss Liu should have an explanation for A Heng's death" Zhou Yicheng said.

"Your Majesty, without any explanation you've understood much more clearly. Why should I bother explaining the details?" Liu Qingqing slightly smiled. "A Heng will sooner or later meet death, be it at the Liu Residence or in your own hands."

"You really understand things, Second Miss Liu." Zhou Yicheng chuckled slightly. "Then, how did you respond to my offer?"

"It's too early to talk about marriage. Your Highness, you better enjoy the Tieguanyin Tea first. This tea is quite hard to get." Liu Qingqing handed him a cup of tea with a gentle gesture.

"It won't be hard if I want it! Second Miss Liu, I came here not to talk nonsense about tea, but the answer to my offer!"

Although Zhou Yicheng's words sounded a bit harsh, but he still received the cup from Liu Qingqing. He finished his drink in one gulp. Then put the cup back on the table in a rude gesture while saying, "The cup is empty, let's talk about a serious matter! If there's a certain requirement that I have to do in order to make you my wife, just say it!"

Liu Qingqing simply smiled before taking a sip of her tea. After which she said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that if you want to make the miss of the Liu Family a wife you should choose Liu Yifei. I'm saying this because something you need is in Li Shu's hands. Although I am the son of a legitimate wife, but all the wealth of the Liu Family is controlled by Li Shu as the great mistress of this residence."

A frown appeared on Zhou Yizheng's forehead. "What do you mean about something I need?"

"Have come this far, why are you still pretending, Your Majesty? I've cut off one of your arms, how can you still want to make me a wife? Isn't this too suspicious, Your Majesty?" Liu Qingqing's voice sounded soft, but her smile carried a slight mockery.

"It's too much if you consider A Heng one of my arms! He was just a meaningless little pawn!" answer Zhou Yicheng. The look of arrogance was clearly visible on his face.

"Zhou Yicheng, you really are a jerk like Bei Muchhen! Were you born from the same ancestor?" liu Qingqing asked inwardly. He felt annoyed, but was not shown in front of Zhou Yicheng.

Seeing that Liu Qingqing was silent, Zhou Yicheng repeated his question again. "What do you mean about something I need?"

"Oh, that problem ...." Liu Qingqing brought her face closer towards Zhou Yicheng. He said half-whispered, "Example like the Feilong Plate!"

What an unexpected surprise in the autumn.

Zhou Yicheng was taken aback by Liu Qingqing's remark. He could not respond in an instant. However, it was only for a split second and the next second the man had already returned to his normal attitude.

A smile was forced out from her lips as Zhou Yicheng said, "Second Miss Liu, you are truly an intelligent and outstanding woman. Even the intentions that I've been hiding all this time can be known to you."

"Your Majesty, you're too complimentary, I don't deserve that designation. You better hurry to get close to Liu Yifei. It just so happens that autumn has come and the beauty of the maple tree needs to be witnessed" Liu Qingqing said with a smile.

"Then I won't hesitate!" Zhou Yicheng got up from his seat. Then said before stepping out leaving Liu Qingqing's study. "Second Miss Liu, thank you for your advice. May we quickly become brothers-in-law."

"I'll wait for that time, Your Majesty." Liu Qingqing got up. He slightly bowed to pay his respects to Zhou Yicheng.

Finally the relief could be felt by Liu Qingqing after successfully treating Zhou Yicheng with a cunning trick. At least for some time Zhou Yicheng would not meet himself again. He just needed to prepare another plan to make sure Zhou Yicheng got into his trap.

Liu Qingqing walked out of the study and prepared to return to her room. However, when he arrived at the door he saw someone peeking out from behind the wall. Taking a glance in terms of his clothes, that person was not from the guard of the Liu Residence.

"Who is that guy? Could he be Zhou Yicheng's subordinate?" thought Liu Qingqing in heart.

Liu Qingqing recalled in the novel that Zhou Yicheng was not a believer in other people's words. The man will surely send someone to seek the truth in all things. Liu Qingqing's words about the Feilong Plate in Li Shu's hands were not free from Zhou Yicheng's suspicions.

"Alright, I will give you something else so that you can truly believe in me, Zhou Yicheng!" Liu Qingqing said this in her heart.

Liu Qingqing called a guard to give the arrangements. He whispered, "Slack the guard on the right and left foyer! Let the enemy spy in and out freely!"

The guard's forehead wrinkled, but still nodded. "Okay, Big Miss. I'll arrange it well."
