Chapter 248 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 17
At the same time, Shao Mingyu found the note that Qingyu had given her in the room, which made her excited and agitated. She paced back and forth to suppress her emotions.
However, when you open the message, it only says a few simple words: Speed up the process.
Shao Mingyu raised an eyebrow, feeling a sudden sense of disappointment.
It seems the princess is getting a little anxious.
She put the note away, stroking the paper as if she could already picture those delicate hands writing...
My heart fluttered again.
Only then did he begin to seriously and secretly plan his next move.
Now that she and Rong Jinnian have had physical intimacy, she has essentially used her last trump card. As time goes on, she also discovers that Rong Jinnian's arrival in Chen Kingdom is not accidental; he is deeply scheming, and the people around him she fears most.
Those were all important officials in the court. Although some of them refused, what was the real story behind their actions?
Rong Jinnian appeared calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt, but Shao Mingyu felt that she couldn't overlook even the smallest detail. Everything was hanging in the balance, and she had to be cautious!
------------
For several days in a row, Qingyu's place became much quieter. Everyone had their own things to do, and as for her, all she had to do was have fun and drink well.
However, no matter how precious the things in the palace were, they were commonplace. Qingyu had seen too much of them and wanted to leave the palace again.
She always did whatever came to mind, and that very day she left the palace with her female bodyguards.
Unfortunately, Qingyu's whereabouts were being watched by many people. As soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, Li Mo was already waiting at the door for a long time. Not long after, Rong Jinnian also rushed over with a look of urgency.
Upon seeing him, Li Mo's smile gradually faded. He couldn't say anything harsh in front of Qingyu, but he could still make a few sarcastic remarks. "Your Highness Jin Nian has arrived? Hmm? I heard Your Highness's good fortune is approaching. Why haven't I seen the Imperial Concubine?"
Rong Jinnian's heart tightened, his brows furrowed, and he rebuked, "Lord Li, you'd better not talk nonsense. I have always been virtuous and upright. As for the Imperial Consort... naturally, she will choose the woman I like in the future!"
In the end, he looked at Qingyu with deep affection, as if Qingyu was the only one in his eyes.
Qingyu was annoyed by these words and didn't even bother to lift her eyes. She waved her hand and said, "If you want to argue, go away. I'm here to have fun, not to gossip and watch the show!"
Seriously, if you want to fight, go fight over there! It's pointless to just talk trash here!
Seeing this, Rong Jinnian quickly said ingratiatingly, "Princess, please don't be angry. I will accompany you on your tour."
Not to be outdone, Li Mo echoed, "Your subject is also willing to accompany the princess."
Qingyu rolled her eyes helplessly and waved her hand casually, "Then follow along. If you nag, this princess won't be polite."
The three of them traveled together like this.
The streets were bustling with activity, filled with all sorts of novelties and gadgets.
Qingyu had seen these things before, and now she was even more curious, looking here and there.
They were only halfway there when suddenly, a mysterious vendor blocked their path.
The reason it was mysterious was that the vendor was dressed entirely in black, even his face was covered, which surprised Qingyu so much that she couldn't come to her senses.
Is this... a certain ethnic minority?
Or is he from a country where people eat with their hands?
Without saying a word, the vendor took out an exquisite box and said, "This contains a magical item. Would this distinguished guest like to take a look?"
Qingyu: "...I don't really want to."
The vendor paused for a moment, then said, "This won't disappoint you, sir."
Qingyu glanced at it and was about to take it and open it when Rong Jinnian snatched it away and threw it aside, saying in a low voice, "There may be danger."
Li Mo's eyes flickered. He wanted to take the opportunity to mock Rong Jinnian for making a fuss, but then he thought that it was a turbulent time and it was better to be careful, so he didn't say anything to stop her.
Qingyu was just browsing casually, but this vendor's purpose was too obvious. The box gave off a faint medicinal smell, a smell that could weaken the body, making it a kind of poison.
But this scheme is too obvious. Do you think she's stupid?
Little did they know, the mastermind behind the scenes truly believed that Qingyu was foolish. They were secretly watching Qingyu closely and were assassins sent by a neighboring country. Because Rong Jinnian had been unsuccessful, the emperor of the neighboring country was anxious and ordered Qingyu to be assassinated when she left the palace.
The assassins initially wanted to take things easy, since Qingyu, as a princess, was rumored to be innocent and naive, so they chose this method...
Unexpectedly, their prince was also by their side!
But the order came from the emperor, and after a moment's thought, the assassins decided to act decisively.
Just as they quietly approached and were about to make their move, Qingyu immediately gave a wink to the female bodyguard, who noticed in time and stepped in front of Qingyu, and a fierce battle immediately ensued.
The scene was chaotic. Qingyu was leisurely escorted to a corner, where she coldly observed everything in front of her.
In the corner of his eye, Rong Jinnian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
Qingyu gave a mocking smile. It seemed that this guy had recognized that the assassins in front of him were all on his side. It was just a matter of how he would choose to act.
Qingyu was eager to see a good show, but unfortunately, the group of assassins was too weak. After losing half of them, the remaining ones decisively retreated. At the same time, Qingyu noticed that Rong Jinnian withdrew his hand that was making a gesture.
For a moment, Qingyu felt a surge of disgust. She wondered if she could poison the guy in front of her with a bowl of poison.
It looks really awful!
After everything was settled, Rong Jinnian was completely distracted and didn't dare to look at the captured assassin.
Qingyu lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them, a half-smile on her face. "What's wrong with you? You seem very hot?"
Rong Jinnian was sweating profusely. Even though he tried to remain calm, he still looked flustered. A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "I've been feeling a bit weak lately. The doctor said I need to rest more. Princess, I'll be going now."
This was the first time Rong Jinnian had ever considered escaping quickly.
Before Qingyu could speak, Li Mo chuckled and said, "Your Highness is weak? It just so happens that Qin Su from my residence has a prescription that can cure this. If Your Highness needs it, I can send someone to deliver it to you."
Qin Su!
The name made Rong Jinnian's pupils shrink, and his heart race. He pursed his lips and whispered, "No need!"
He then strode away!
Seeing this, Qingyu's brows twitched slightly as she looked at Li Mo, "You did this on purpose?"
Li Mo smiled without speaking, but in his heart he was once again certain that the higher-ups did indeed know about Qin Su's matter, even Qing Yu knew...
Thinking of this, Li Mo changed the subject and tentatively suggested, "It's getting late today, why don't you stay at my residence for a while, Princess?"
His heart was pounding like a drum, and he didn't dare to look up at anyone.
Qingyu has a place to live; how could a princess lack a place to stay?
However, since the group has been fighting fiercely lately, she could go to Li Mo's residence to watch the excitement.
"Lead the way."
The sound was like heavenly music, which filled Li Mo with joy. He immediately ordered his men to hand the assassin over to the Dali Temple, and then he led his men back to his residence in high spirits.
