Gu Lingqiao said coquettishly, "Please help me, would you?"
Xiao Jiu called from above, "Ugly freak, are you brain sick? You want the Prince to get rid of me; does the Prince love the Princess Consort so much that he would get rid of me? You really are one to make trouble, why don’t you roll off to wherever it’s cool."
"Aiyo... Boohoo... I’m done with this, too much bullying." Gu Lingqiao gritted her teeth angrily in her heart, then simply burst into tears.
The old maid comforted her from behind, "Miss, don’t cry, the Prince will be heartbroken."
This old maid was clearly lying with her eyes open; which eye has ever seen Long Rui heartbroken.
The War Prince sat there unmoved, wearing a mask, his expression completely unreadable.
Gu Lingqiao: "Brother Rui... boohoo...!"
Xuexue irritably stood up and, fuming with anger, said, "Prince, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m taking my leave."
Long Rui nodded and said, "Hmm, that’s fine."
"Hmph!"
Xuexue turned around and left.
"Princess Consort, wait a moment." Long Rui called out to her from behind.
"Prince, what is your command?" Xuexue stopped in her tracks, her tone distant.
"I hope the Princess Consort acts with discretion. Don’t run off and bring trouble to me again this time."
"Rest assured, Prince, Xuexue won’t trouble you!" Xuexue’s tone was quite unpleasant. After speaking, she left with Zi Xia.
"Hey, hey, hey...! Wait for me, I’m coming too!" Xiao Jiu flapped its wings, flew down from the beam, habitually circled a few times in mid-air, and then flew toward the doorway.
As it passed by Gu Lingqiao, it deliberately flapped its wings and used its claws to rake her hair.
Gu Lingqiao’s smooth, shiny hairbun instantly turned into a bird’s nest.
"Ahhh...!"
Gu Lingqiao went completely crazy. What kind of deep grudge does this little bird have against her that every time they meet, it has to mess with her?
"Miss, are you okay?" The old maid rushed over to check if Gu Lingqiao was injured.
But upon closer inspection, a faintly discernible gloating smile appeared at the corner of the old maid’s mouth.
"Boohoo...! Nanny...!" Gu Lingqiao’s previous tears were fake, but now she was truly crying, and very sadly at that. She had dressed up so beautifully, and with one grab from Xiao Jiu, she turned into a madwoman.
"Cackle cackle cackle...! Ugly freak, ugly freak!" Xiao Jiu flew off proudly, not negotiating in the least after Gu Lingqiao bullied its master.
Long Rui, for once, kindly inquired about Gu Lingqiao and even asked a doctor to check if she was hurt.
Afterward, he asked the old maid to send her back to her room to rest.
Just after returning to the room, the old maid sneakily looked around again, checked the crack in the door to ensure no one was eavesdropping outside, and then happily said to Gu Lingqiao, "Miss, it seems we are not far from success."
Gu Lingqiao sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her disheveled self in the mirror, extremely angry. Her once beautiful face was now in a deplorable state because of that little bird.
"What success or not, I just want to kill that little bird."
It’s so bothersome; Gu Lingqiao felt both angry and helpless.
The old maid’s face turned stern as she severely reprimanded, "Is a bird more important, or is the master’s task more important?"
Gu Lingqiao: "Of course the master’s task is important. You said there was a plan last time, but we’ve had no chance to implement it recently!"
The old maid’s tone shifted to an excited one, "It’s coming, the opportunity is almost here."
Gu Lingqiao: "How can you tell?"
The old maid: "Foolish, think about when we first arrived at the War Prince’s Mansion, the Prince and Princess Consort were very much in love, but now, thanks to you, they argue frequently and even involved Old Master Gu last time. What does that say?"
