Transmigrated into the Scumbag Ex-Wife of the Prime Minister - Chapter 105

As if she couldn’t believe her ears, Qin Feiyan asked in a daze, “You, what did you say?”

Princess Changning looked up at her and repeated it with a serious expression.

“What do I need to do so that you won’t be angry?”

This time, every word clearly fell into Qin Feiyan’s ears.

But to her question, Qin Feiyan could not answer.

Because she had never thought about this question.

Qin Feiyan was angry about being kept in the dark, about being treated as a chess piece in Princess Changning’s scheme.

But she also knew that she was just a guard.

She didn’t have the right to be angry, she hadn’t expected Princess Changning to apologize to her, nor had she anticipated Princess Changning would explain to her, or even ask her what to do so that she wouldn’t be angry.

More surprising to Qin Feiyan than how to answer Princess Changning’s question was that Princess Changning actually cared about whether she was angry.

This thought was like a timely rain, infusing new life into the originally arid wilderness.

Not receiving an answer for a long time, Princess Changning thought for a moment and said softly, “What do you want?”

Using gifts as compensation was a method her cousin, Princess Qinghe, often used to appease people, and it always made her lovers beam with joy, with very good results.

Princess Changning’s words pulled Qin Feiyan’s scattered thoughts back. Her mind returned, and what her eyes saw was an exquisitely beautiful face.

With small sparks of light in her dark pupils, Qin Feiyan lowered her gaze, avoiding the intoxicating look, yet she unconsciously focused on that touch of cherry-red lips.

Sealed memories surged into her mind, accompanied by a ridiculous thought.

As if startled, Qin Feiyan violently shook her head.

“You…” Princess Changning was startled by her movement.

Composing herself, Qin Feiyan blurted out, “I want to go home.”

If she didn’t leave, she would only sink deeper and deeper into those pipe dreams.

Princess Changning’s gentle expression stiffened, and her dark eyes slightly narrowed. “What did you say?”

“That.” Qin Feiyan deliberated for a moment and said, “The assassin has been caught, so my job as a guard should be useless now, and it so happens that I…”

The Chief Secretary of Yuandao Prefecture had close ties with the Hengchanglong Chamber of Commerce. Princess Changning had just uncovered some clues about him accepting bribes when this person committed suicide at home, leaving no witnesses.

All plans needed to be redeployed. Princess Changning was swamped with work in the state government and hadn’t finished dealing with things when the secret guard informed her that Qin Feiyan had packed her bags and was preparing to leave.

Rushing back from the government office, she lowered her stance, apologizing and coaxing softly, yet she still heard her request to leave.

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Feiyan saw Princess Changning’s body go limp and fall downwards.

“Princess, Princess!” Qin Feiyan quickly caught her and called out anxiously.

“Princess.” A-Lü hurried to their side and said urgently, “The Princess’s heart condition has recurred.”

“Go quickly and find a doctor.”

Qin Feiyan had an injury on her left arm, so she could only use her right arm to hold Princess Changning around the waist, letting her lean against her.

“There’s medicine, the medicine is in the Princess’s room,” A-Lü said as she ran towards the room.

They were facing each other, Princess Changning’s soft body pressed tightly against Qin Feiyan’s embrace, her nose filled with the scent on the Princess’s body.

As a martial artist, Qin Feiyan’s senses were keen. Besides the warm breath brushing against her chin, Qin Feiyan could also feel the slight soft rising and falling with each breath of the person in her arms.

Her face slowly began to heat up. Qin Feiyan held Princess Changning and slowly moved to the covered corridor outside the main hall, semi-cradling her as she sat down on the long bench on the corridor.

Finally, they were no longer tightly pressed together, and Qin Feiyan secretly let out a sigh of relief. A-Lü also rushed back at this moment.

“The medicine, I got the medicine.” A-Lü hastily poured out a black pill from the medicine bottle.

Qin Feiyan reached out and pinched Princess Changning’s chin, her lips slightly parted. A-Lü placed the pill into Princess Changning’s mouth, but Princess Changning had already fainted and couldn’t swallow the pill by herself.

“This, what should we do!” A-Lü stamped her foot in distress.

“Go pour a cup of water,” Qin Feiyan said, pointing to the desk inside the hall.

A-Lü hurriedly went into the room to pour water and handed the cup to her.

Qin Feiyan took a mouthful of water, ignoring everything else, held the back of Princess Changning’s neck with her right hand, and lowered her head to meet her lips directly.

“Guard Qin!” A-Lü was shocked by her action and cried out.

The next moment, her gaze fell on Princess Changning’s body, seeing her still limp body, and her expression was complex.

In fact, she had returned with the medicine earlier, but after seeing the eye signal from the Princess, she hid around the corner of the corridor. When the Princess fainted, she rushed out, but after only two steps, she saw the Princess give her another gesture.

Having served the Princess for many years, A-Lü instantly understood the Princess’s meaning, and so she went along with the Princess’s wishes, saying that she had fainted due to a recurrence of her heart condition.

From the moment Guard Qin appeared, A-Lü had vaguely felt that the Princess seemed to treat her differently. At first, she only thought it was because Guard Qin was Qin Guanghan’s daughter.

But after today’s incident, A-Lü truly understood the real reason why the Princess treated Guard Qin differently.

Slowly passing the water into Princess Changning’s mouth, Qin Feiyan felt a vague swallowing movement and finally relaxed a little.

However, before she could finish giving the water, Princess Changning had already woken up.

Their lips were touching, and their eyes met. The surprise made Qin Feiyan immediately swallow the remaining half mouthful of water.

Quickly sitting up straight, Qin Feiyan immediately explained, “Just, just now, the Princess fainted, and I couldn’t feed her the medicine, I, I…”

Although the situation was urgent just now, Qin Feiyan was still afraid that Princess Changning would misunderstand that she deliberately took advantage to take liberties with her.

“Thank you.” Princess Changning interrupted her, propping herself up with her arms and sitting up from her embrace, but then she ‘lost’ her strength again and leaned back.

Qin Feiyan quickly supported her from behind to stop her from falling, and Princess Changning leaned into her arms, gasping slightly.

“You just woke up, don’t rush to get up.” Words of concern blurted out, and after saying them, she felt it was a little inappropriate.

Qin Feiyan quickly corrected herself, “Why don’t you let Miss A-Lü accompany you to rest for a while before getting up.”

As she spoke, she looked at A-Lü, but A-Lü seemed not to hear her and stood to the side with her head lowered.

“Qin Feiyan.” Princess Changning leaned on Qin Feiyan’s shoulder and looked up at her.

“Hmm?” Qin Feiyan looked down.

Princess Changning’s eyes were slightly downcast, with a hint of gloom. “Do you dislike me?”

“How could that be!” Qin Feiyan said without thinking.

“You don’t need to lie.” Princess Changning looked up at her.

Qin Feiyan shook her head. “I’m not lying.”

“Then why do you no longer want to be my guard?” Princess Changning still seemed unconvinced.

“I see that the secret guards around the Princess are much more skilled than me, I…” Qin Feiyan had prepared countless grandiose excuses long ago, and she could say them without a second thought.

“I want to hear the truth,” Princess Changning interrupted her softly.

Qin Feiyan was stunned for a moment. Princess Changning wanted to hear the truth, but she dared not speak the truth.

After waiting quietly for a long time, Princess Changning sighed softly, propped herself up with her arms again and slowly sat up, a look of worry clouding her brow. “If you don’t want to say it, then don’t.”

She paused, gave her a deep look, and then Princess Changning half-lowered her eyes. “If you truly dislike being my guard anymore, then so be it.”

Hearing her agree to let her leave, Qin Feiyan felt no joy of having her wish granted. Instead, she felt an emptiness in her heart, as if a piece was missing.

She suddenly felt a little regretful.

Qin Feiyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something to make up for it, but in the end, nothing came out.

Not receiving her answer, Princess Changning’s lowered gaze dimmed. She raised her head and looked intently at Qin Feiyan.

Qin Feiyan looked away, feeling somewhat guilty.

She was afraid that if she looked any longer, the words hidden in her heart would no longer be contained.

“Some things, it seems I was forcing.” She spoke this sentence extremely softly, and it was scattered by the wind before it even finished.

After speaking, Princess Changning’s face returned to its usual composure. She turned her head and called out, “A-Lü.”

A-Lü quickly stepped forward, supporting Princess Changning’s shoulder, helping her to stand up using her strength.

And at this moment, Qin Feiyan was completely frozen in place, trying hard to digest Princess Changning’s last sentence.

Forcing? Forcing what?

What did Princess Changning mean by ‘forcing’?

Forcing herself to be her guard?

Or something else?

A string of questions flashed through her mind, all converging into one answer, an answer that made her ecstatic yet afraid to believe.

Dong! Dong! Dong dong! Dong dong dong!

Qin Feiyan’s heart pounded like a drum. Her hand trembled slightly, and then suddenly clenched into a fist.

She abruptly stood up and chased after Princess Changning in the direction she left, but after only two steps, she stopped short.

Princess Changning’s words were too vague. Could she have misinterpreted her meaning?

If that were the case, she would probably truly be disliked by Princess Changning.

But if it was as she thought? If she didn’t ask, how could she be content!

Hesitating for a moment, Qin Feiyan steadied herself, clenched her fist tightly, and made up her mind!

Since she couldn’t continue as a guard anyway, she had to ask for clarity!

Qin Feiyan quickened her pace, and in a moment, she had caught up. Princess Changning and her maid had already entered the room.

“Princess!” Seeing A-Lü about to close the door, Qin Feiyan called out urgently.

Princess Changning stopped and turned her head to look outside the door. A-Lü also stopped closing the door.

“Princess, I have something to tell you!” Qin Feiyan stood outside the door and said to Princess Changning.

“Has Guard Qin thought it over?” Princess Changning asked softly.

“I have,” Qin Feiyan nodded, her expression earnest.

“A-Lü,” Princess Changning called out.

A-Lü opened the door again. Qin Feiyan’s brow relaxed, she stepped inside the door, and smiled kindly at A-Lü.

A-Lü slightly nodded, turned around, and helped Princess Changning sit down on the soft couch to the side.

Qin Feiyan followed behind them. Princess Changning pointed to the chair beside the couch and said slowly, “Sit down and talk.”

Seeing her somewhat fatigued expression, Qin Feiyan felt both distressed and annoyed at herself for being so reckless.

She should have waited until the next day when the Princess felt better to ask.

Princess Changning instructed A-Lü, “A-Lü, I have a bit of a poor appetite. Ask the kitchen to prepare some light dishes.”

“Yes.” A-Lü accepted the command, turned and left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

The sealed space only had the two of them, which made Qin Feiyan even more nervous.

Princess Changning leaned back on the soft couch, glanced at her, and said, “Speak.”

“What did the Princess mean by that sentence just now?” Qin Feiyan secretly took a breath and asked.
