Chapter 176: Punishment I

Feng Ruqing squinted and smirked sinisterly. “Misunderstanding? I don’t think this is a misunderstanding. You have shown your intention to usurp the throne. Now, I must inform my father about it!”

Liu Yunxiao became speechless. He deeply regretted coming to the palace today. If he had not turned up at the palace to show off his new cultivation level, he would not have stirred up trouble for himself. Why had he provoked this group of people in the first place?

“Your Royal Highness, it was a misunderstanding. I swear that the Liu family has been loyal to His Majesty. In fact, my daughter is one of His Majesty’s consorts. Why should I seize the throne for no reason? Your Royal Highness has totally misunderstood me…”

“Then, why have you nearly landed a blow on me just now?” Feng Ruqing moved closer to Liu Yunxiao with a threatening tone.

The smile plastered on Liu Yunxiao became stiff and more awkward. He admitted that he had almost landed a blow on her. However, he had not done it in the end, had he?

“You are the honorable princess of Liu Yun Kingdom. If I were given a hundred guts, I would not even have the nerve to belittle you, Your Royal Highness.”

If the old general was absent, perhaps Liu Yunxiao would not have managed to control himself.

Unfortunately, this old man had hit the breakthrough of the Spirit Warrior tier as well.

He did not have the courage to deal with two Spirit Warriors on his own. He was not that mad yet…

“Liu Yunxiao, how dare you, you old chap!” Master Nalan was not bothered if it was a misunderstanding or not; he was fuming with rage. He sounded stern and cold when he warned them, “How dare you bully Qing’er in the palace. Today, no one from the Liu family can leave this place!”

Liu Yunxiao broke out in more cold sweat as the sweat ran down his back. He felt that the situation had worsened. He did not want to stay at the palace any longer. If His Majesty knew about this, he could never leave this place.

“Old general, I have already clarified it as a misunderstanding. If I knew how important the spirit beasts are to the princess, I would not have responded this way.”

Liu Yunxiao insisted on claiming it as a misunderstanding. He would never admit that it was done on purpose.

“You claim that it is a misunderstanding. However, Lady Liu herself had said the opposite. According to her, these spirit beasts belonged to Feng Rushuang. She had even forced me to surrender my spirit beast to her. What about this matter? Do I just simply consider it as a mere misunderstanding as well?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunxiao’s face darkened and he glared at Feng Rushuang and Mei Ying who standing behind him, coldly.

Feng Rushuang was startled by Feng Ruqing’s accusation. She looked at her in disbelief. Her face had instantly turned pale.

Feng Ruqing actually knew… It was impossible for her to say something like this. Why… Why must she drag her into trouble? She was innocent in this matter!

“Since both of Her Royal Highness and Mei Ying have made a mistake, they have to bear the consequences. Your Royal Highness can do whatever you want to them and I definitely have no qualms about it.”

As usual, the Liu family would inherently prioritize their own needs above the relationship.

Furthermore, Liu Rong and Feng Rushuang were useless to the extent that their existences were barely recognized at the Imperial Palace. Thus, he did not feel like defending them.

Besides, these two women were of little value to him.

If only the master had not given them chances, he would have gotten rid of them a long time ago…

“Grandpa!” Feng Rushuang was shocked. She bit her lip desperately while holding in her tears from flowing down her cheeks.

‘Look at Feng Ruqing’s grandpa. No matter how she had hurt his feelings in the past, eventually he still stuck up for her.’

‘On the contrary, look at her own grandpa… who was a far cry from Feng Ruqing’s. The difference was like heaven and earth!’ Feng Rushuang could only voice it inwardly.

She did not understand this at all. Why? Why was Feng Ruqing always the fortunate one? A lot of people kept protecting and defending her while she had no one to stand up for her. She… had to stand on her own two feet.

“If you say so.” Feng Ruqing’s cold gaze was fixed on him. Her devilish grin flashed for a brief moment. “Grandpa, I heard we have an insufficient sparring partner in the military camp. Is it true? Then, I will send Feng Rushuang there for a few months’ training, perhaps it might improve her attitude.”

That had shocked Feng Rushuang terribly as her face turned pale within seconds. It was as though all blood was drained from her face.

Feng Ruqing wanted to send her to the military camp?

It was a place for toil and hard labor. Was it even fit for humans to stay?

After all, the military camp was the Nalan family’s territory. She would definitely have a hard life there.
