Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 61

Where exactly is Qingyi? No one knows. But everyone knows that Qingyi is loyal to her master and will definitely contact Princess Fengxue, so everyone's eyes are on Fengxue's whereabouts.

Feng Xue was well aware that her every move was under the watchful eyes of the world, and she knew exactly how many people were monitoring her. But she didn't care; she had to find Qingyi now.

Qingyi had been with her for many years, and she knew her personality very well. Qingyi would never poison Shuangdie, and she knew very well who was behind all of this.

What Shuangdie's purpose was was none of her concern; she could simply stand by and watch. But she shouldn't have hurt her people. If anyone ever did, Feng Xue would retaliate tenfold!

The window inside the room was half open.

A branch of bright red plum blossoms, in full bloom, drifted in through the window.

The warm sunlight lazily streamed through the window, illuminating the red plum blossoms and their fragrant aroma as it shone on the snow-covered trees outside.

Perhaps it was the fragrance of plum blossoms that made Feng Xue's sharp eyes gradually fade, replaced by a gentle light spreading from her pupils. Slowly, slowly, the lines on Feng Xue's lips softened.

When she first met Li Ge, the plum blossoms were also in full bloom.

"Woman, why are you crying?"

Under the plum blossom tree, Feng Xue crouched with her face covered, her long white skirt covering the snow, with a few plum blossom petals that had fallen from the tree on it.

Hearing the sound, Feng Xue was startled and forced back the tears welling up in her eyes. She pursed her lips and stood up. Although her face was covered in wounds and scars, her head was still slightly raised, as proud as the plum blossoms behind her.

But those centipede-like scars did not diminish her noble demeanor in the slightest.

"Who are you?" a clear voice asked.

Li Ge stared at her, inwardly admiring her. The person before him possessed a truly rare quality, one in a million.

Suddenly, a string of glass beads caught his eye. Then, looking at the scarred face, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

Li Ge chuckled softly, her light brown eyes brimming with sunlight.

"Woman, you are Princess Fengxue."

Staring into his eyes, Feng Xue was momentarily captivated.

The person before her was dressed in white. Although her appearance was ordinary, her brown eyes were like the winter sun, dispelling the frost and bringing warmth, making her almost forget the sadness she felt at her coming-of-age ceremony.

But Feng Xue quickly stepped out of the sunlight, looking at him warily and then glancing around.

"Woman, there's no one around you."

"Who are you?" Feng Xue still tilted her head slightly, her gaze sharp.

Li Ge stared into her sharp gaze, and suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart. He saw that behind her sharpness lay a sorrow that she was trying to hide.

With a sudden thought, Li Ge jumped in front of her, his warm hands gently touching the scars on her face, his brown eyes overflowing with tenderness.

A gust of cold wind swept by, and the branches of the plum tree trembled slightly.

Feng Xue felt no cold at all. When those warm hands touched her face, she was stunned, surprised by the palpitations and warmth they brought.

"Woman, I am the doctor who can cure your face."

Feng Xue's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Looking into those pitying brown eyes, Feng Xue bit her lip slightly, "...Conditions?"

The pity faded, and smiles slowly gathered, carrying sunshine, warmth, and fragrance. Li Ge whispered, "Woman, I want to see the real you."

Plum blossoms drifted down gently, landing beside the two of them and adorning the snow-white earth.

A red petal landed on Feng Xue's eyes. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then the petal slowly fell.

As the petals fell to the ground, she opened her eyes, her gaze as clear as river water.

"……good."

Feng Xue gazed at the plum tree outside the window, her eyes filled with warm memories.

Suddenly, the warmth vanished, and a chill rose in my eyes.

A figure in apricot blossoms appeared under the plum tree. That figure was none other than Zi Xing, the most popular maid in the Prince's mansion and the personal maid of the concubine.

Zixing was a little nervous, her hands clenched tightly inside her sleeves, and even a few beads of sweat were seeping out. It was her first time entering the Snow Pavilion.

She had seen the princess several times. Although the scars on the princess's face were frightening, what truly terrified her were the princess's eyes. The princess's gaze seemed forever unchanging, always calm. Yet, within that calmness lay a sharpness like that of an eagle's eye, as if every move she made was under her watchful eye.

If it weren't for the concubine's orders, she would rather face a fierce-looking, burly man than the princess.

Zixing walked to the door of Xuelou and stopped.
