Chapter 251 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 20
Chapter 251 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 20
His voice was gentle and pleasant, like a lover's whisper, but Shao Mingyu's heart was cold and hard. If it were before, she might have been moved, but now that she had a beauty as stunning as the princess, she really couldn't stand anyone else!
But the act must go on! She's already sacrificed so much; she has to find evidence!
Thinking of the information the princess had sent a couple of days ago, she had already ruled out most places, leaving only two...
She needs time, so she can't anger Rong Jinnian!
She needs the princess's cooperation!
Thoughts drifted through her mind, and she came back to her senses in an instant. Shao Mingyu nodded shyly, "Of course I will help Your Highness."
Rong Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a little flustered.
--------
On the other side, Qingyu was enjoying her snacks when the system suddenly notified her: "Um... Rong Jinnian seems to be suspicious."
Qingyu raised an eyebrow. "When did you start keeping an eye on them?"
The system touched its nose. "I... I was just bored!"
He then took out the video he had recorded, saying, "Look!"
Qingyu glanced at it casually, and after listening to Shao Mingyu's explanation, she instantly understood what it meant. She immediately smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter, let him doubt it. The more he doubts and the more confused he becomes, the easier it will be for us to proceed."
And Shao Mingyu's side can cooperate if they want.
Qingchen has been behaving himself lately, and Qingyu knows that it must have been Emperor Chen who made the move. Right now, all she needs to do is find evidence that Rong Jinnian plotted against them.
Fortunately, she had a group of soldiers under her command!
Under the bright sunshine, Qingyu lay leisurely on the recliner. She noticed out of the corner of her eye that the maid next to her looked strange, but she didn't say anything.
In the end, it's just some ill-intentioned outsider.
"Princess..." The maid hesitated, unable to hold back any longer, and finally gritted her teeth and took a step forward, "Princess, that Qin Su is far too audacious, still standing at the door... If people find out, won't it ruin your reputation?"
"Should I drive him away?"
Qingyu raised her eyes slightly and saw the excitement in the maid's eyes. She smiled and said, "There's no need. The more you provoke her, the more it proves that you care. Just ignore her."
She knew that Qin Su had not given up; in fact, he stood outside the courtyard for a long time, as if he wanted to express his feelings again.
But Qin Su definitely won't be able to stay for long.
As it turned out, Qingyu was right. Soon after, Li Mo came over in a rage and had Qin Su dragged away. Qin Su did not show up until that evening.
Qingyu guessed that the latter had probably been captured by Emperor Chen.
I told you Qin Su wouldn't last long!
The next morning, as soon as Qingyu got up, she heard the system's cheerful voice: "Host, Shao Mingyu has sent a letter!"
Qingyu paused, her soft hair swaying slightly, releasing a delicate fragrance.
She took the letter, unfolded it, and read only a few words: "The matter is completed. I cordially invite Princess Qingyu to a gathering in the garden tomorrow afternoon."
Qingyu's watery eyes flickered, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Looks like Rong Jinnian has taken the bait?" The system rubbed its hands together, seemingly ready to make a big move.
Qingyu's lips twitched, a hint of helplessness appearing on her beautiful face. "Are you stupid? You fell into such an obvious trap?"
System: "Really? It was just lazy and didn't monitor anything yesterday..."
Qingyu ignored it and called her maid to start choosing her outfit for the gathering the next day. After thinking for a moment, she deliberately chose an extremely gorgeous and dazzling long dress.
The maid asked, puzzled, "Princess? Are you attending a banquet?"
Qingyu just smiled mysteriously, her smile as beautiful as a flower, "No, but tomorrow is also a good day."
If things go well, maybe everything will be over tomorrow.
"Didn't you say it was a trap? Then why did you go?" the system asked, confused.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. In short, let's just go watch the show." Qingyu smiled gently.
System: "...This is incoherent!"
Meanwhile, Rong Jinnian secretly deployed his men in his mansion. He was determined to find out the truth from Qingyu this time. Regardless of whether Qingyu really knew his plan, he had to get Qingyu!
for sure!
The following afternoon, Qingyu dismissed Li Mo and the others and arrived as scheduled. However, as soon as she reached the gate, she saw the General's carriage following far behind her...
She paid no attention and gracefully entered the embassy.
The embassy had been decorated, and upon entering, one was greeted by a beautiful scene of blooming flowers. Not far away, Rong Jinnian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of grandeur.
Noticing footsteps, Rong Jinnian turned around reservedly, but was momentarily stunned when she saw Qingyu.
The person was wearing a veil, but Rong Jinnian always felt that she was an absolutely stunning beauty coming with the wind, every move she made was full of charm and beauty.
Qingyu smiled and chatted as if nothing had happened, and calmly took her seat.
Rong Jinnian spoke first, probing, "Qingyu, did Shao Mingyu explain things to you clearly?"
Qingyu's beautiful eyes flashed with anger, yet it added a touch of brilliance. "Are you blaming me? I was only doing this for my own safety."
Rong Jinnian's eyes darkened, her lips pursed slightly, and she shook her head. "No, it's my fault. I didn't leave a good impression on you from the beginning."
Qingyu chuckled, glanced around, and asked with interest, "Where's Shao Mingyu?"
"She won't be coming today." Rong Jinnian answered with a straight face, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered someone to bring out the wine. Finally, he smiled and said, "Let's drink and chat this time. Don't worry, I didn't drug you, and the wine won't make you drunk."
His joking remarks easily lower people's guard.
Qingyu showed little reaction on her face, her eyes lowered, lost in thought.
Her thoughts drifted far away, but she casually said, "In that case, I'll have a drink."
As she spoke, she picked up her wine glass, sniffed it lightly, and seemingly unintentionally spilled some wine on the table.
Rong Jinnian frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with her caution, but in reality, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a little flustered.
The two looked extremely harmonious.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
Qingyu looked up and saw a group of dancers filing in.
They were dressed in brightly colored clothes, with ribbons fluttering in the wind.
A hint of surprise flashed in Rong Jinnian's eyes, clearly this was not part of his plan.
Qingyu immediately became interested. She put down her wine glass and watched with great interest.
Yes, although she's not as beautiful as her, she's still extremely pretty.
Seeing Qingyu watching with great interest, Rong Jinnian's flustered heart instantly calmed down, but his mind began to wander—
Could it be that his subordinates came up with this idea on a whim, and arranged this dancer performance to distract Qingyu so that they could carry out their plan?
He frowned, wanting to ask, but knowing it wasn't the right time. He glanced at the incense in the corner and smiled slightly.
