Time flies, and it is time for her to return to Huanxiang Pavilion. Two days later, she will perform on stage again.

"Your Highness." Xiao Yanqing called her to the study.

"Is everything packed?" he asked.

"kindness."

"Where's the stuff?"

She pursed her lips and placed the dagger on her back on the table, feeling very reluctant.

"Your Highness, do you want to take it back?"

Suddenly asking her to bring the dagger, could it be that he didn't want to give it to her?! But she hasn't made any mistakes recently, and she has been obedient and hasn't used it inappropriately...

Seeing the grievance between her eyebrows and her eyes fixed on the dagger he took away, he didn't have the heart to tease her anymore.

He took out another dagger and handed it to her.

She was stunned, as if she didn't react.

"This one suits you better." He spoke slowly in a low and gentle voice.

She took the dagger in surprise and found it was just the right size and weight in her hand.

The exquisite carvings on the scabbard are completely different from the previous one. Both the quality and craftsmanship are very luxurious, and there are several turquoises on the entire sword.

Although she couldn't really tell the price and weight of the sword, she knew from the turquoise inlaid on the lightsaber scabbard that the dagger was worth a lot of money.

She held it in her hand hesitantly, "Your Highness, are you really going to give it to me?"

"Don't like it?" He met her considering eyes.

"I like it, I like it very much."

"It's just... too expensive."

But he didn't take it seriously and said casually, "I said I'm giving it to you, so just take it."

Seeing this, she drew out the sword and examined its forging carefully. She could see how sharp it was with the naked eye. There were even forged patterns on the blade, which showed that the master's craftsmanship was very sophisticated.

It's more like a treasure than a weapon.

There was a gleam of joy in her eyes, as if she had received the most precious gift.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" She almost jumped up.

Seeing her so happy, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"You can use it if you encounter an emergency, but be careful," he reminded again and again.

"Okay." She agreed quickly.

"Also, you are not allowed to return to the Jiang Mansion without my permission. If you meet Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Mo, you must tell me first, understand?"

"Okay." She responded obediently.

She didn't leave until he finished explaining.

Qian Yun, who was standing by, was also envious, "Your Highness is so kind to Miss Qing Yu."

"It's just a dagger, is that enough?" He opened the book in his hand without any emotion.

"But this is not an ordinary dagger. Not only is it made of rare and high-quality materials, but even the master who forged it is a master with superb skills." Qianyun remembered that His Highness had obtained this sword many years ago and had never been willing to use it.

"She's suitable." was his answer.

Although His Highness said so, Qianyun has seen it all during this period of time. His Highness has shown special concern for Miss Qingyu, accompanying her day and night, and even risking his life to rescue her. Even the Prince does not know this. It seems that Miss Qingyu is a special person.

Qing Yu skipped back to the house with the sword in her hand. Wen Xiaoshu was waiting for her inside.

"Wenshu, I can leave as soon as I pack up."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wenshu immediately noticed the dagger in her hand and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Qing Yu! My brother gave you this dagger?!"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wenshu took the dagger and examined it, and it was indeed the sword in his memory.

"My brother has always been generous, especially to me, but I remember that I loved this sword so much that I begged for it for a long time, but my brother was reluctant to give it to me."

"Does this sword have any special meaning?" She was puzzled, but Xiao Yanqing had already given her this sword.

Xiao Wenshu explained to her, "This sword can be called a blood blade that can kill with one blow. It is said that this is a rare material, and the master who forged the dagger has passed away now."

"So precious?!"

"Yes."

She looked down at the sword in her hand as if she understood something, and an unusual smile filled her black eyes.

"Haha, it seems I have to be obedient."

"kindness?"

"What if Your Highness regrets it and wants to go back?" she joked.

"Haha, it's not impossible."

"Let's go, Wenshu."

After everything was ready, Xiao Wenshu sent her back to Huanxiang Pavilion.

……

After returning to Huanxiang Pavilion, Hua Niang kept asking about her health with concern. She was also scared by what happened before.

"Don't worry, Hua Niang, I'm fine now."

"That's good." Hua Niang finally relaxed and nodded.

Hua Niang suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Although their people can't get in here, they can't be stopped from outside. We must always pay attention."

It must be someone Jiang Zhuo sent to monitor her. "Okay, I get it."

After giving the instructions, Hua Niang was about to go out when she suddenly remembered something.

"Miss Qingyu, Mr. Xiang Heng heard that you were missing and came to inquire about you every day. Recently, he learned that you were safe and sound, so he came here every day to wait for you."

"Come every day?" She raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

"Yes, I come here every day." Hua Niang's expression revealed a hint of emotion.

"I know that His Highness has instructed not to let Miss Qingyu see him, but..." For Hua Niang, she had seen men trapped in love, but there were few who were truly infatuated, so Hua Niang couldn't bear it.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Is it okay?" Hua Niang was a little worried. What if His Highness knew that Jiang Qingyu would not be punished?

"kindness."

Seeing that she was so confident, Hua Niang didn't say anything else and went to make arrangements.

She came to the house where Xiang Heng was. Xiang Heng was surprised to see her, but after the surprise, there was endless worry and heartache.

Today she was dressed very simply, without any rouge or powder on her face. There was a hint of coldness between her eyebrows, as if she was born with pride. Just like the first time he saw her, the corners of her mouth were hung with the same usual smile.

She spoke first, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang, I came straight here when I heard you were waiting for me."

Xiang Heng hurried forward and looked at her to see if she was injured. "Miss Qingwu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." She comforted.

But Xiang Heng couldn't believe what she said, that she was fine. She clearly looked weak as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Has Miss Qingwu been captured by them?" Xiang Heng was eager to know what she had experienced during these days.

After thinking for a while, she met Xiang Heng's eyes, the burning anger suppressed in her dark pupils.

"Mr. Xiang, please sit down first." She leaned over and gestured while pouring tea.

Seeing this, Xiang Heng had no choice but to sit aside and stare at her.

As the teacup filled up, she slowly said, "Yes."

Xiang Heng was startled and grabbed her slender wrist directly, "He hit you?!"

She was slightly startled and looked sideways at him.

Just by hearing this sentence, she knew that Xiang Heng had investigated and must have spent a lot of effort to find out Jiang Zhuo's true character.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Xiang Heng realized his rude behavior and quickly let go of her hand.

"Feel sorry."

He spent a lot of money to get a little information, that is, Jiang Zhuo's so-called kind face was all a false appearance, and he was cruel and vicious to everyone, including his wife and children.

She put down the teapot and said, "Mr. Xiang, the less you know, the safer you will be."

"Let me just watch you go into the tiger's den? I can't do that!"

"I'm back already, haven't I?"

"Then can you guarantee that those things won't happen again?"

Xiang Heng is right, but there is no guarantee.

"Mr. Xiang has the life I envy the most, so I don't want to break it all."

Xiang Heng knew that she was afraid of getting herself into trouble, but he didn't care at all, "Miss Qingwu, it won't happen..."

She suddenly interrupted, "What kind of person do you think I am, Mr. Xiang?"

Although Xiang Heng didn't understand, he still answered her question truthfully, "A smart, self-reliant girl who always...lives happily."

He had never met anyone like this before, but after spending some time with her, he realized that she was just suppressing her grief.

"I hope this impression will remain in Mr. Xiang's heart forever."

"But I hope Miss Qingwu will always be like this."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

"Why...why?" Xiang Heng didn't understand.

"Because Mr. Xiang believes in me, and he believed in me the day he met me." This was the first person she met here.

"So, Mr. Xiang, please believe in me, believe that I can accomplish what I am determined to do, and believe that I will live safely and soundly."

Xiang Heng listened to her words which were drowned by perseverance. At this moment, he saw the hatred in her eyes.

"Okay?"

He was silent, perhaps realizing that she had a more terrible goal, but...

"Okay, Miss Qingwu, please promise me that if you want to return to your normal life, come to me first and I will take you away, okay?"

Seeing Xiang Heng's sincere expression, she finally nodded in agreement.

But only she herself knows that that day will never come.
