The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapters 20. Honest

The autumn wind blew quite hard bringing a cool chill. A pair of ladies and subordinates still faithfully sat in the room enjoying the comfort accompanied by a cup of Tieguanyin Tea.

Liu Qingqing lifted the tip of her lips upwards forming a sweet smile. The girl's voice sounded soft as she said, "Liu'er, you're getting smarter now. I didn't answer right away not because I wasn't comfortable, but just a little confused where to start telling you everything."

"Miss, you can start anywhere. I will listen to her well," Bai Liu replied revealing a beautiful smile.

"Alright, Liu'er. I'll tell you my story, but it'll probably leave you a little confused."

Bai Liu gave a small nod, like an obedient disciple before his teacher.

Liu Qingqing took a deep breath before she told a story. The girl told Bai Liu about her name Xiao Qing, including her job as vice chairman of the assassin organization. One thing that Liu Qingqing did not say was about her soul entering into the body of a fictional story figure, but into a historical story. He admits he is from the future.

Bai Liu listened very well. His facial expression changed frequently throughout Liu Qingqing's story. Sometimes he looks frowning, but also often shows admiration.

"Miss, so you're from the future world and know all the things that are going to happen?" ask Bai Liu. He felt puzzled by Liu Qingqing's story because to him soul displacement was a mysterious thing and almost never happened for so many years.

Liu Qingqing nodded. "Yes, Liu'er. I come from a future world and in history told about your story. It's just that everyone I meet in this world is a bit different in story."

"So the reason Miss rejected First Prince Zhou Yicheng's proposal to avoid bad luck? Then, will Miss return to the future world again?"

"It's very true, Liu'er. I don't want you and your non to continue to suffer so I have to fight the bad guys to protect you. This is why I killed A Heng and Guo Li." Liu Qingqing paused for a moment, then sighed heavily. "For trouble I will return to the future world or not, it depends on the decision of the God. At least as long as I'm in this world, I have to do good things to get good karma."

Bai Liu's face revealed a look of sadness. On holding the back of Liu Qingqing's palm, then patted her gently. "Miss, God will surely give you good karma because you have a good heart. So, Miss there's no need to worry and I'll always be by your side as long as you're here."

"Thank you, Liu'er. You are such a good boy," Liu Qingqing said in a soft voice.

"Miss, I'm so worried that you continue to go against His Highness the First Prince. Is he not going to hurt you?" ask Bai Liu.

"Liu'er, you calm down! I have prepared various plans to fight First Prince Zhou Yicheng, but unfortunately I have not been able to cooperate with Second Prince Zhou Ziyang yet. If I have the chance to meet him and borrow his power against First Prince Zhou Yicheng it will ease my plans."

Seeing Liu Qingqing's disappointed look, Bai Liu tried to comfort her. "Miss, I'm sure sooner or later you will meet with His Highness the Second Prince. You can think of a way to cooperate with him and I will definitely help you!"

Liu Qingqing smiled at Bai Liu's sincerity. "Alright, Liu'er. I'll think about it slowly."

Liu Qingqing did not realize that she had actually met Zhou Ziyang. After all, he could not guess one in millions of thousands of people with just the description of character details in a novel that was quite limited. Just like when the girl met Zhou Yicheng, she could not immediately guess.

The Zhou Ziyang that Liu Qingqing had expected was busy in the open courtyard. Today he has a special guest, Zhou Jun, his half-brother. They were sitting on stone chairs with different expressions, one person looked calm with a book and the other one looked sullen the entire time.

"Zhou Jun, your face is very unsightly. If you are upset about someone quickly leaving here and vent your anger on him," Zhou Ziyang said on the sidelines of reading a book.

Zhou Jun pursed his lips and said with a sour face. "Yesterday Dad asked me to visit First Brother, but my arrival was not welcomed. He looked very angry and today after returning from the palace I intend to check his circumstances, but he has already gone to the Liu Residence. Now that I have come here I have not been cared about by Second Brother. Can I still not be upset?"

"If I don't care about you why are we here now?" Zhou Ziyang placed his book on the table. "You said First Brother went to Liu's House. Do you know what he's visiting early in the morning for?"

Zhou Ziyang's forehead was wrinkled. "What's the problem?"

"Second Miss Liu sent out a gift box containing blood-soaked clothes, this was obviously a very disrespectful act. Although I don't know the root of the problem, but it's been pretty outrageous. First Brother will obviously not tolerate this matter."

Zhou Ziyang seemed to be thinking. Wrinkles on his forehead look more and more with his lips tightly pouched. The handsome man really did not say a single word.

Zhou Jun continued his words. "Second Miss Liu is obviously in big trouble, as First Brother is not an easy person to provoke. But, I found an awkwardness in this matter."

"What did you find?" ziyang Zhou asked with a serious expression.

"I found out this matter did not make it to the palace. In the palace court this morning there was no discussion about this. Did First Brother deliberately keep Second Miss Liu's actions a secret? " Zhou Jun seemed to be thinking. His gaze led to Zhou Ziyang as if asking for his opinion.

He suddenly said again before Zhou Ziyang gave his opinion. "But, if it's true as I said the matter is even more awkward. First Brother is not that kind of person. He'd rather expose the problem in public and ask Dad to give a heavy sentence to the perpetrator, regardless of whether the person is a woman or a man."

"Your introduction to First Brother is getting better, Zhou Jun. I think with your intelligence, you can find the point."

"Second Brother, it would be better if you solve this problem. I've given you a lot of things I know."

"I didn't ask you to do that, Zhou Jun. However, since you have already come here I will let Xu Jia break it."

Zhou Jun's spirit shrank in time quickly. The sour face again adorned the handsome young man. "Xu Jia again, Xu Jia again. When can I hear from your own mouth, Second Brother?"

Zhou Ziyang only gave a small smile in response.

"Second Brother, why don't you go to the palace today? First Brother also did not attend the court of the palace this morning?" zhou Jun asked curiously. "Are you guys in trouble until you can't attend?"

"Oh, he is also absent," Zhou Ziyang replied lightly. "Is there anything important discussed in court today?"

Zhou Jun was still willing to answer, "Dad planned to give titles to the two daughters of General Liu Anren in return for the general's great contributions to the country."

"It was a good move to convince the people that the king cares deeply for the heroes of the country."

Zhou Jun nodded. "Yes, that way you will be more favored by the people and can be recorded in history as a wise king."

"You will also be like Dad if you become the next king" Zhou Ziyang said with a smile.

Zhou Jun complained bitterly. "Second Brother, I have told you many times that I have no interest in sitting on that throne. That position will only make me very lonely and I don't want that!"

Shortly afterwards Xu Jia came over with a serious face. His steps were long and he looked rushed. After arriving before the two princes of Zhao Kingdom, he immediately bowed respectfully. "Your Highness, His Highness the Third Prince."

"What's up?" asked Zhou Ziyang.
