Chapter 181 Fanzhi, unwilling to accept being driven away, turns her attention to Sihe.

Chapter 181 Fanzhi, unwilling to accept being driven away, turns her attention to Sihe.

Fanzhi kowtowed, her voice choked with sobs, "Fanzhi doesn't know what she has done wrong!"

"You really don't know?" Xia Jingheng frowned and lowered his eyes.

Fanzhi's heart pounded, but she kept her head down, not daring to answer.

Xia Jingheng said, "The first time you failed in your duties was at the Su family's house. You could have stopped Su Xiao, but you let him barge in..."

"The second time, I was captured by the immortals and came back half-dead. Do you think I didn't know what you said and did to Qingbao?"

"This time, you will still interfere with my decision..."

“I don’t like a subordinate who interferes with my decisions at will, and... you shouldn’t be using your thoughts on your master, no matter what.”

Xia Jingheng did not explicitly state her thoughts; his words were gentle, leaving her with ample dignity.

"Only by leaving can you preserve your dignity," he added.

Tears streamed down Fan Zhi's face. "But Your Highness, ever since you met Si He, you've seemed to have lost your mind. You do everything for her, even risk your own life..."

"This servant truly suspects that she may have cast some kind of curse on you. Look at yourself, is this impulsiveness really like you?"

Her voice was slightly bitter, "She only met you a few times, and you drove me away for her sake! I've served you for over ten years!!!"

"Your Highness, why is that?"

“This servant is not worthy, but does she, a woman who has given birth and is divorced, deserve it?”

They were merely using His Highness's identity as a being subject of heavenly tribulation to deal with those two immortals.

They even dared to curry favor with His Highness in exchange for the wealth and status bestowed upon them by the Emperor.

However, the princes could not see these things clearly.

He can no longer see himself at all.

He was the only person in the world who truly cared for him.

How could he possibly drive himself away?

Xia Jingheng's eyes were dark. "I know my own heart. What I do is none of your business."

His connection with Sihe goes beyond these superficial aspects.

Perhaps, he came for her, or perhaps he lived for her.

No matter what, he had no complaints.

"Go, someone will meet you outside the palace and provide you with a stable life and wealth." Xia Jingheng waved his hand, shooing her away.

He knew that Fanzhi was sincere towards him, but that sincerity was mixed with something that shouldn't have been there.

This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It's better for them to get rid of them.

When Fanzhi saw that he was determined to let her leave, she felt extremely flustered.

She knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Your Highness, I beg you, Fanzhi doesn't want to leave, she doesn't want any money, Fanzhi just wants to stay by Your Highness's side for the rest of her life..."

"Please, Your Highness, give Fanzhi another chance. Fanzhi will never dare to do it again..."

Xia Jingheng closed his eyes. "Things shouldn't happen more than three times. I've already given you enough chances. Guards, come here."

Outside the door.

After the guards entered and bowed respectfully, they lifted Fanzhi up and dragged her away.

Fan Zhi bit her lip hard, looking at Xia Jingheng with eyes full of resentment.

She was unwilling to accept it!

More than a decade of friendship has been destroyed in an instant!

If it weren't for her meticulous care and management of all the daily affairs, would His Highness have been able to grow up so smoothly and carefree into such a beautiful and radiant young man?

Your Highness, she personally raised you to adulthood.

More than ten years!

Just like that, all their hard work was handed over to someone else for nothing!

How could she accept this?

Fanzhi's eyes were red and swollen. When she was sent back to her room, she sat by the window and cried for a long time.

"Mother, if we sneak off to see our brother, the Crown Prince, will he be happy?"

The shrill, childlike voice was ringing in Fanzhi's ears.

Fanzhi looked over and saw Sihe dressed simply, leading Qingbao in.

In the vast Eastern Palace, there wasn't even anyone to stop them.

A hint of anger inexplicably appeared in his eyes.

On what grounds?

She served His Highness for over a decade, only to end up like this.

Why should they be able to replace her former position?

Fanzhi dropped her packed bag, pushed open the door, and was about to leave.

The next moment.

Two swords blocked her way.

"Miss Fanzhi, have you packed your things?"

"His Highness said that once you have packed your things, he will send you out of the palace. There is no time to delay!"

Fan Zhi was furious. "I'm going to see His Highness. We've known each other for over ten years. He'll let me stay!"

"This has nothing to do with us. We only follow orders and don't care about personal feelings!" The two guards' eyes were icy.

They were only required to obey His Highness's words unconditionally; the rest was none of their business!

"Go inside! Grab your bags and get out of here!" the two ordered.

Fanzhi slammed the door shut, trying to process her emotions.

She looked out the window.

He suddenly jumped out of the window and left.

*

Si He was walking in the yard with Qing Bao in her hand.

Sudden.

A hand reached out from the side and blocked them.

"His Highness is unwell, please leave!" Fan Zhi said coldly.

Si He looked confused. "But we've already sent word that His Highness knows we're coming."

"Actually, Your Highness has something difficult to say, and it's not convenient to talk here. Please come with me." Fan Zhi's appearance was truly puzzling.

However, she was the Crown Prince's closest servant, so Sihe nodded and followed Fanzhi.

Qingbao wanted to come along too, but Fanzhi stopped her.

"Princess Qing'an, please wait. This is a matter between adults. It might not be appropriate for a child to overhear it."

These words were spoken.

Sihe was also afraid of offending Qingbao's ears, so she patiently instructed, "Baby, play here for a while, Mommy will be back soon."

"Tang Chen, take good care of her." Qing Bao followed behind Tang Chen.

Sihe followed Fanzhi to the back of the artificial hill.

My mother left.

Qingbao activated her domineering mode, clenching her fist tightly.

"Is there anything this overlord cannot hear? Jing Heng has grown bold enough to send people to stop us, Tang Chen!"

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Tang Chen replied coldly.

Qingbao narrowed her eyes slightly, "It's getting cold. The Eastern Palace is about to go bankrupt."

Tang Chen: ...

So, Sihe will never know what kind of creature she's raising, right?

"Just tell me what I want to do, instead of saying some nonsensical, crazy things!"

"You're hopeless! Your lack of comprehension is due to my poor teaching!" Qingbao shook her head with a hint of helplessness.

"Enough, enough. Since your comprehension is too low, then this overlord will have to be blunt. Let's go and eavesdrop."

With her short legs and hands behind her back, Qingbao walked calmly toward the artificial hill.

Tang Chen's lips twitched. "Eavesdropping, fits the domineering master persona?"

"What do you know! This is a necessary means for us to unify the three realms. How can we know what kind of conspiracy those villains are plotting if we don't eavesdrop?" Qingbao said without changing her expression.

Tang Chen: "Can anyone be as cunning as you?"

"Xiao Chen, you're talking too much."

Tang Chen: Okay, I won't say anything more!

Being around this kind of magical child means you'll hear endless ramblings and mystical chatter all day long.

They hadn't reached the artificial hill yet.

Then there was a splash, and something fell into the water.

A weak female voice struggled to shout:

"Help...help me!"
