The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapters 19. Playing Cunning Tricks

After being preoccupied by Zhou Yicheng's presence, Liu Qingqing returned to the room. He sat down on a chair and poured a cup of tea to refresh his throat. The girl's thoughts were a little chaotic from having to face Zhou Yicheng's cunning and the misunderstanding between her and Bai Liu that had yet to subside as well.

Since yesterday's quarrel Bai Liu hasn't seen him. It was not that Liu Qingqing could not come to Bai Liu first, but she wanted to give Bai Liu some space to calm down. He hoped that the autumn wind would be able to shed Bai Liu's misunderstanding of him.

Liu Qingqing's wish was quite simple, that before winter came her relationship with Bai Liu had already improved. At least they can face the cold of winter with the warmth of affection and be closer in relationships. The girl wants a relationship that is more than just a miss and subordinates, such as family ties such as sister and sister.

Liu Qingqing's bedroom window was left open. Smoke rose gently from the burning of incense. The fragrance of the flower smells free and it gives a calming effect on the mind.

Liu Qingqing leaned against the chair while comforting herself in relaxation and closed her eyes. He felt a fatigue like all the strength in his body had been sucked dry. The girl was not sure how long it had been until she heard the door being forcefully opened.

He opened his eyelids heavily, trying to see who was coming. He found Bai Liu standing in the doorway, not going any further. There was doubt on his subordinate's face. Liu Qingqing got up from the chair and stood on the spot.

Liu Qingqing was confused, not knowing what she should do. He was afraid that if he came closer to the door, Bai Liu would leave again like last time. They just kept quiet and looked at each other for a long time.

Liu Qingqing waited further, but no sound was heard. In the end, it is he who must be the breaker of silence. The girl opened her lips in a very slow motion. "Liu'er, you ...."

Liu Qingqing did not continue her words. He doesn't know what words are worth saying. It felt very awkward with mixed feelings.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Bai Liu's voice sounded weak and tears gleamed in his eyes. "You're so kind to me, I never should have doubted you. Yesterday I went to West Lake to reflect on everything and I made a decision. Although you have changed a lot, but I will continue to consider you as my non. So, Miss, please forgive me."

"Liu'er, you don't have to apologize. I was wrong, not telling you everything. Liu'er, you can vent your anger on me, but please never leave this residence. I'm really worried about you." Liu Qingqing could not help but hold back her tears.

Bai Liu immediately ran towards Liu Qingqing then stood before her. Their distance was now only one step. "Miss, thank you for worrying about me."

Liu Qingqing pulled Bai Liu's shoulder inside and hugged the girl who looked slightly shorter than herself. He patted Bai Liu's back gently, like he was comforting a child. It was at this moment, his narrowed eyes could catch the presence of a figure hidden outside the window.

"Liu'er, I need your help. Tell me about the Feilong Plate and tell me it's in Li Shu's hands" Liu Qingqing whispered. "You don't look, there's someone peeking at us from the outside."

Bai Liu only gave a small nod.

The two girls' hugs came off. Liu Qingqing invited Bai Liu to sit down while chatting. He poured the tea into two cups and handed one of them to Bai Liu.

"Liu'er, do you know about the Feilong Plate?" asked Liu Qingqing. His voice was intentionally made louder and louder.

"Try me to tell!"

"After Mr. died, the Madam arranged the residence. All of the Master's wealth treasures were kept by the Madam including the Feilong Plate. However, Madam did not care so much about it because Madam and Miss Liu Yifei preferred money and jewelry" Bai Liu explained. He looked at Liu Qingqing seriously. "Miss, if you want the Feilong Plate maybe Madam will give it to you."

Liu Qingqing slightly smiled. "I don't need that thing, Liu'er! As long as we can live quietly, that's more than enough."

The conversation of Liu Qingqing and Bai Liu could be heard by the spies outside the room. After feeling sufficient with the information obtained, he immediately slid away with a careful movement. However, it was a pity that unbeknownst to him, his actions were secretly known to the guards of the Liu Residence.

A residence guard came to see Liu Qingqing. He reported, "Great Miss, the spy is gone. What do we need to do?"

"You sent someone you could count on to follow! Just make sure he's under whose orders!" liu Qingqing said as she looked towards the guards.

"Well, Big Miss, I understand." The guard nodded, then left Liu Qingqing and Bai Liu.

"Miss, why did you know there was a spy? Are you just gonna let go?" ask Bai Liu. He still did not understand the intent of Liu Qingqing's plan.

Liu Qingqing happily replied. He did not want any more misunderstandings with Bai Liu. "Liu'er, it's easy. I'm just guessing from his movements, plus the arrival of the First Prince is also due to this matter."

"What?" Bai Liu's eyes seemed to widen. He lowered the volume of his voice. "The First Prince wants to have the Feilong Plate?" What is he planning, miss?"

"Of course, I still have to investigate it further!" liu Qingqing said.

Bai Liu slightly nodded in understanding sign, but his heart was still overwhelmed by confusion. Liu Qingqing's sharp eyes could catch on to it so she said, "Liu'er, just ask what you want to know! I'll answer everything."

Bai Liu hesitated a little, but he still asked a question. "Miss, how can you fight? Although I do not know much about it, but I understand that martial arts cannot be mastered in a short time. It requires a lot of practice and hard work. When I saw you fighting with Mr. Li, I knew that your abilities were beyond doubt and above average."

Bai Liu paused for a moment before continuing his words. "Miss, I don't think you're as simple as I thought. You must have had such an ability for a long time."

"I didn't expect Liu'er to pay close attention to every detail. Can other people see the change in me?" inner Liu Qingqing.

Seeing Liu Qingqing not say anything. Bai Liu again said, "Miss, if you feel uncomfortable then there is no need to tell it. I will remain your loyal subordinate!"
