Chapter 252 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 21

The dancers danced around the two of them, and one of them quietly approached Qingyu, seemingly hiding something in her hand.

Qingyu had seen it long ago, but she didn't think it was anything special; judging from its shape, it was just a dagger...

Is Rong Jinnian trying to assassinate her because he can't have her?

Qingyu could only remain calm and wait for the right opportunity.

They were waiting for an opportunity to escape, or to take Rong Jinnian down with them, since the two were only a meter apart.

On the contrary, Rong Jinnian on the other side was full of doubts and looked around warily.

Suddenly, the dancer swiftly drew a dagger and stabbed at Rong Jinnian with lightning speed and ferocity, clearly indicating she was trained!

Rong Jinnian was shocked and tried to snatch it, but Qingyu nimbly dodged and retreated to a corner.

She then breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, how could anyone bear to hurt someone as beautiful as her?

Seeing that the situation was critical, Rong Jinnian immediately began to fight back.

Ironically, the dancer was so weak that she was defeated in just a few moves, as if...

Is she just here to make a brief appearance?

This scene made Qingyu wonder if it was a play arranged by Rong Jinnian.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became tense.

After a long pause, Qingyu gave an awkward smile, "You... are you putting on a show?"

Rong Jinnian clenched his fist, coughed, and his ears turned bright red. He had just received a hint from his subordinates, and this was indeed something his men had arranged...

The purpose was to make Qingyu relax and lower her guard.

It has to be said, they were incredibly stupid. Rong Jinnian wished he could dig a hole right now and bury those men alive!

He took a deep breath, and knowing that the sleeping incense would soon take effect, he could only force himself to speak despite the discomfort: "It was just a little incident, Qingyu, please don't mind it."

Qingyu chuckled softly, her beautiful, silvery eyes blinking slightly as her gaze inadvertently swept over the incense burner in the corner…

Her eyes darkened, and she picked up a glass of wine with her slender hand, handing it to Rong Jinnian. "I'll treat you to a glass, dare you?"

Rong Jinnian was breathing rapidly, surprised and delighted by this sudden intimacy. Without thinking, he picked up the wine and drank it down.

The wine was fruit wine, sweet and not intoxicating, but Rong Jinnian felt that she was already quite drunk.

After Rong Jinnian finished drinking, his eyes became increasingly glazed over. Qingyu smiled with satisfaction, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

She approached Rong Jinnian feigning concern, and the closer she got, the more alluring her fragrance became. It seemed that even through the veil, one could see her tempting red lips parted slightly. "Do you still remember who you are? What is your purpose?"

Rong Jinnian was in a semi-drunk state, her consciousness somewhat blurred, but she still instinctively resisted, saying vaguely, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Immediately afterwards, he felt an intense heat throughout his body.

Qingyu wasn't disappointed and continued to coax, "Are you feeling very hot? Would you like to talk alone?"

Upon hearing the word "alone," Rong Jinnian trembled, a struggle flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, he made a gesture, and Qingyu felt a gust of wind pass by her. Her eyes lit up and her smile widened.

Oh dear, there are no bodyguards left.

"Qingyu... I really want to marry you. Will you be my princess consort?" Rong Jinnian said these words with deep affection, while taking out a box.

"If you agree, the whole country will be yours in the future."

He looked like a tyrannical ruler, seemingly capable of sacrificing everything, but Qingyu suddenly flashed an image in her mind: this man wielding a cleaver, cutting down the Chen Kingdom's military flag—

Then the scene flashed, and countless hands were pulling at Qingyu. She seemed to hear her own cries, each one filled with blood and sorrow.

Startled, Qingyu took a step back, and her mind cleared up completely.

Her eyes held a dark and unfathomable light. She had roughly guessed what was going on, and what followed was an overwhelming surge of hatred and anguish that nearly consumed her reason in an instant.

It is indeed somewhat unbearable.

Rong Jinnian was still dazed at the table. He seemed to be expressing his true feelings, occasionally uttering a few cheesy pick-up lines. However, just as he was about to reveal the truth, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by and kidnapped Rong Jinnian.

Qingyu was startled and tried to give chase, but it was too late.

The system said anxiously, "What should we do? All our efforts have been in vain!"

Qingyu calmed down. In fact, Rong Jinnian made the first move, and she just went along with it. The latter wanted to cause her trouble.

Ah--

She's going to cause trouble for him!

On the other side, Shao Mingyu had been restless ever since she sent the letter, and was in a daze for a long time before finally making up her mind to go and find evidence.

According to the note, she only had one place left: the darkroom.

She didn't know where the secret room was, so she could only grope around the room, twisting and turning left and right, until she finally found that the only thing that reacted was a jade ring placed in the corner.

With a gentle twist, a door appeared beside her and slowly opened, revealing a dark passageway that indicated this was the secret room she was looking for.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity, and as she cautiously groped her way toward the dark room, she subconsciously felt that there would be no danger.

This is wrong!

Could she be a prophet?

Lost in these wild thoughts, she walked on and on, as if the secret room was located in the deepest part of the palace, with only one path leading to it.

But she was prepared. Using the tinder she had obtained earlier, she walked in the darkness by the faint light, groping her way forward.

When they finally arrived at the entrance to the dark room, they found it was a huge stone door covered with strange runes.

After careful examination, Shao Mingyu discovered that these runes seemed to be an ancient sealing technique.

She remembered seeing a solution in an ancient book a couple of days ago, so she started following the steps she remembered.

As she moved, the stone door slowly opened, and a putrid stench rushed out.

Shao Mingyu covered her mouth and nose, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. Was this going too smoothly?

It all went so smoothly, as if it were preordained, or as if she had been there before...

After taking a few deep breaths, Shao Mingyu finally walked inside.

The room was dimly lit, but by the light of the tinderbox in my hand, I could clearly see various instruments of torture laid out around me, and maps hanging on the walls, marking the military secrets of various countries.

This really is Rong Jinnian's treasure trove!

The more Shao Mingyu looked, the more alarmed she became, and she even began to wonder if Rong Jinnian had done something else!

However, after finally reaching the end of the dark room, Shao Mingyu discovered a peculiar box, which was quietly placed in front of her.

She had a gut feeling that what she wanted was inside!

But the box was locked, and she wasn't good at picking locks...

After thinking for a moment, Shao Mingyu decided to use the most primitive method—picking up a stone or similar object and starting to smash it.

She didn't know if she would be discovered; all she could think about right now was opening the thing in front of her!
