Chapter 1481 We... Just Pretend We Don't Know

Entering the palace to bid farewell brought out a disturbance.

Bei Canghuang personally issued a decree, and the news that the Seventeenth Princess was demoted to a commoner spread throughout the imperial city in a blink of an eye, causing an uproar in the whole city.

Wherever he went, he could hear people discussing together.

When Feng Qingbai and Liu Yusheng returned to Prince Ting's mansion, someone immediately came to report to Duan Ting.

It is said that the princess mansion has already turned upside down.

Liu Yusheng pulled Feng Qingbai and the three children away, leaving this space for Duan Ting.

How to say that the one who was demoted to a commoner was also his imperial sister, and the cause of the incident was related to them, it would be a bit embarrassing to stay here at this time.

Back in the guest courtyard, after grooming the three children, let them play by themselves for a while, while Liu Yusheng followed Feng Qingbai to the small flower hall in the guest courtyard.

Light a burner of incense, lie on the recliner in the small flower hall, close your eyes and meditate, smell the faint fragrance in the air, and listen to the children playing and laughing outside the window, which is quite a kind of quiet time.

"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Liu Yusheng asked the man next to him after resting his mind for a while.

"You feel it too?" the man asked back.

The two opened their eyes and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Liu Yusheng sighed softly, and said, "I'm not sure, I just have such a vague guess. Do you still remember the eldest lady of Fengyue Guojian Guofu? After we left Fengyue, I thought Mrs. Bian would pick her up secretly. When I went back, I didn’t expect to meet again in Liangzhou at the end, and she was already covered with plague at that time.”

"Plague is extremely rare. When I heard from the old doctor in the border town that I only saw this kind of bug in the border town of Xiliang, I thought it was someone from Xiliang sneaking into Fengyue to make trouble." Feng Qingbai said, "But this time it happened again. Strange thing, that thought has also been dispelled."

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

Starting from Fengyue, the victims of two successive strange incidents were all related to them, or to be correct, the victims had all bullied people from the Nanling Palace. After realizing this, it was difficult to blame Xi Liang for the cause of the incident.

Liu Yusheng rubbed the aching brows, but still felt that things were unimaginable, "But Qi Qi is only four years old, and he has never been loved by Shan Lai since he was born. He spent more than a year in the city of exile. We all know what day it was, do you think Shanlai might teach him the technique of controlling Gu under such circumstances? Moreover, when Qian Wanjin brought Qiqi back, he was only two or three years old Age, even if you are very talented, how much can he remember the things at that time? I assume that Shan Lai really taught him, how much can he comprehend that kind of ability?"

It's not that she looks down on Qiqi, but according to common sense, most children before the age of three don't remember anything.

Unless someone like Feng Qingbai who has been outstanding since childhood and has been fully enlightened, there is another kind of pseudo-little doll like her who was reincarnated with memories.

She really couldn't imagine how Qiqi got the ability to cast Gu on people without anyone noticing, and for such a long time, they didn't even arouse the slightest suspicion.

"Feng Qingbai, tell me... is it possible that Qi Qi was born with the ability to control Gu, but he has only a half-knowledge of this fact, and only when he is angry, that ability will be unconscious use it?"

After asking, Liu Yusheng knew that he was deceiving himself and others when he met the man's calm eyes.

Qiqi is actually very smart. The hardships he has suffered since he was a child made his mind extremely sensitive, and he can easily feel the emotions of adults, and he can tell who likes him or doesn't like him, and who is really not sincere to him. Also because of those previous experiences, compared to Croton and Hongdou, Qiqi is better at disguising, and rarely expresses her inner thoughts on her face.

Sometimes, it doesn't look like an innocent little kid at all.

"Shengsheng, this is not surprising at all." Feng Qingbai looked at Liu Yusheng and said softly, "I was like this when I was young."

The man's last words were spoken calmly, but Liu Yusheng's heart suddenly ached.

How could she not know that he was like that when he was a child.

Therefore, she felt sorry for Qiqi even more.

Children are pure and innocent by nature. If the environment permits, which child would build a deep defense against the people around him and bear the burden that he should not have to bear?

It's just suffering too much, it's just fear.

"Feng Qingbai, let's...just pretend we don't know?"

"Well, don't worry, not everyone will become Shanlai, I will guide him well."

"I know, I believe in Qiqi, just like I believe in Croton and Red Bean."

One big and one small clasped hands, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

They all believed so.

The children they teach, the children who grow up in the Liu family compound, no matter what path they take in the future, they will have their own bottom line and principles that they should stick to in their hearts.

Step, step, step.

Outside the door, footsteps that were so light that they could hardly be heard reached Feng Qingbai's ears, turning his eyes, a small figure moved out by the door.

"Qiqi? Why are you here? Where are Croton and Hongdou? Did you become a cat again?" Liu Yusheng was slightly surprised.

The three children usually like to play peek-a-boo, and Croton likes to tease Qiqi the most. Every time they play this game, they will try their best to let Qiqi be the cat. Because Qiqi can't speak, even if Croton and Hongdou are caught, the two children turn around and run away, they can continue to hide, and Qiqi has no way to sue for injustice.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the sky was surrounded by a large piece of purple-red sunset glow, covering the earth with a dim purple-gold veil, and the little baby at the door was backlit, so it was difficult for people inside to see his expression clearly.

All he could see was the pair of pitch-black eyes, shining brightly in the dimness, from time to time to light.

Teng Teng Teng, when the people in the room couldn't react in time, the little baby rushed in, threw Liu Yusheng into his arms, raised his small face and looked at Feng Qingbai, boldly, and grabbed his sleeves openly.

Every move, together with the entire eyebrow, is dependent.

"What's the matter, did Croton really bully you? This bastard, auntie will help you treat him!" Liu Yusheng hugged Qiqi and was about to go out, but Qiqi shook her head.

The other curled little hand slowly opened in front of the two of them. The palm was white and soft, with the sensuality unique to a baby, very cute.

Then, the five fingers were slightly bent into claws, and they were fixed in front of the two adults.

Liu Yusheng held her breath almost immediately. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but the little boy suddenly made such a strange movement, she knew that the boy was showing them the truth.

In front of her follower Feng Qingbai, Qi Qi tore off the last disguise, revealing her true self.

Just like when he rushed in just now, he looked at her with Feng Qingbai's eyes, all of which were trust.
