Lei Hu’s face changed: "But Marquis, Duke Ping made great contributions in founding the country and enjoys the Emperor’s trust. Killing him outright might not be a good idea..."
Feng Fuce said nothing and simply bowed his head to start reviewing the docunts.
Chu Ping, however, said: "Then kill him secretly. If he dares to provoke the Marquis, we’ll get rid of him without a trace!"
To accompany his words, Chu Ping made a throat-slitting gesture.
At this mont, Qingi’s voice ca from the door.
"Is the Marquis here? The Princess ordered to deliver so pastries."
Chu Ping imdiately hid his fierce expression.
He ran out eagerly: "Xiao i~ did you co to visit , and conveniently brought so pastries for the Marquis?"
Words of scorn for his shalessness ca from the direction of the door.
Feng Fuce put down his pen: "Lei Hu, bring Qingi in."
A mont later, Qingi entered, placing the container of pastries on the table.
"Please taste them, Marquis. These are specially prepared for you by the Princess."
Feng Fuce never ate things others brought him, but Bai Zhi’er was an exception.
He lifted the lid to reveal three small plates of delicate and delicious pastries.
They looked freshly baked.
Chu Ping stood beside Qingi, full of envy.
"The Princess is really good to the Marquis."
Qingi snorted: "Of course, our Princess considers the Marquis a true friend."
"Marquis," Qingi looked at Feng Fuce: "The Princess asked to convey a ssage that you needn’t worry. Even if Duke Ping cos, he won’t dare harm you."
"As the Princess’s close friend, she wanted to tell you that she’ll always side with you no matter what."
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow slightly, his handso face like polished white jade held a trace of an elusive smile.
He hadn’t yet spoken, but Chu Ping was already stamping his feet with excitent.
"The Princess is too kind! Xiao i, I also want such care."
Qingi gave him a sidelong glance and said quietly: "Behave yourself, lest the Marquis punishes you!"
Chu Ping clutched his heart, his charming face filled with emotion.
"You... you care about ?"
Lei Hu and Lu Wang simultaneously closed their eyes.
Incurable romantic.
Qingi could not bear to hear it anymore, and a blush spread across her cheeks.
"Marquis, I’ve delivered the ssage, I’ll take my leave now."
With that, she turned to go.
Chu Ping wanted to accompany her, but he was on duty and feared being beaten by Feng Fuce if he left suddenly.
However, Feng Fuce calmly watching the pastries suddenly said: "Chu Ping, go escort Qingi for ."
Chu Ping was overjoyed: "Yes!"
He hurriedly rushed after her.
"Xiao i~" Chu Ping called out loudly.
Feng Fuce instructed Lu Wang and Lei Hu: "You two, leave as well."
He wanted to enjoy the pastries Bai Zhi’er sent him in peace.
Lei Hu bowed and was the first to leave.
After a while, a smile lightly crossed Feng Fuce’s thin lips.
Because the pastries in the box were all white and round.
There was one shaped like a round dumpling, cute and glutinous white.
Just like Bai Zhi’er’s small face.
Feng Fuce picked up a skewer but his arm paused suddenly as his face turned cold.
He raised his eyes, looking at Lu Wang.
"Why haven’t you left?"
He had not noticed earlier that Lu Wang had not left with Lei Hu.
Lu Wang hadn’t expected to live to see Lord Demon smiling lightly at three plates of pastries.
Those eyes revealing delight, without any concealnt.
Lu Wang cleared his throat, lowered his head, and said with a bow: "This subordinate has sothing to report."
