Chapter 244 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 13

Inside the carriage, Qingyu closed her eyes and pondered the events of the day.

The words the assassin was about to shout must have something to do with Qingchen, and according to the clichés of melodramatic plots, they would definitely be begging for mercy.

It seems I need to return to the palace as soon as possible and have my father interrogate the assassin.

Thinking of something, Qingyu pulled out the system that had been pretending to be dead, "Is Qingchen a bad guy?"

The system rolled its eyes, shook its head and nodded, and mumbled, "He, he might have some selfish motives, but you are siblings, so there should be some affection between you."

Qingyu frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Does the destruction of the country have anything to do with him?"

"How do you know the country will be destroyed?!" As soon as I finished speaking, the system immediately covered its mouth, as if I hadn't said anything.

Qingyu sighed and flicked it. "You always say I can't bear the memories of the past, but I'm in the real world now, so why are you hiding it from me?"

The system looked aggrieved. "I'm doing this for your own good. It's better to take it slow than to accept it all at once."

Moreover, it suddenly felt that letting Qingyu make different choices step by step than before might lead to a different outcome.

Perhaps when Qingyu learns the truth, she will feel much better.

Qingyu sighed, shook off the system, didn't ask any more questions, and closed her eyes to rest.

A quarter of an hour later, upon entering the palace gates, Qingyu went straight to the Imperial Study where Emperor Chen was.

She had already used connections with Emperor Chen, and arrived at the Imperial Study without any obstacles.

The eunuch rushed forward, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"I want to see my father." Qingyu nodded, her tone matter-of-fact.

The eunuch nodded and immediately turned to report.

A moment later, he respectfully led Qingyu inside.

Upon entering, Qingyu became even more unrestrained, getting straight to the point: "Father, I was assassinated, but fortunately I escaped with the help of many people and even captured one of the assassins. I have come to ask Father for his decision."

Emperor Chen's smile vanished instantly, replaced by rage. He slammed his fist on the table, "What happened? Tell me in detail! I will not let the person behind this get away with it."

Qingyu's eyes showed grievance, and she was on the verge of tears. Her slender figure swayed precariously as she began to stammer out the events of the day.

As she spoke, she observed the Emperor's expression. Seeing that he was turning pale with anger, she felt a little relieved.

This father was always a good one.

When he finished speaking, Emperor Chen's face turned as black as ink, and the veins on his hands bulged. After a long silence, he finally said, "Take the assassin away for interrogation."

Qingyu pursed her red lips, understanding Emperor Chen's dilemma. Her heart softened for a moment, and she carefully said, "Perhaps there is a misunderstanding..."

Emperor Chen shook his head, looking exhausted. "I have already warned Qingchen, but he still does things his own way... No matter what the outcome, it is his own doing."

Qingyu's eyelashes trembled, and she relaxed more and more. She also understood that Emperor Chen could distinguish right from wrong, so she stopped talking.

The main hall was quiet. Soon the assassin was brought in. Under interrogation, the assassin confessed that he was acting on Qingchen's orders because he was worried that Qingyu's favor with the emperor would threaten his position as crown prince. He wanted to get Qingyu involved with Sanye so that he could kill two birds with one stone...

Emperor Chen was furious and disappointed, but he couldn't bring himself to depose his son directly. He could only issue an edict to confine Qingchen to his quarters for six months to reflect on his mistakes.

Finally, Emperor Chen apologized to Qingyu, his eyes red with tears, "It is your father who has wronged you. Apart from this, your elder brother also loves you very much..."

Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. "How did Father Emperor know?"

Emperor Chen was speechless, unsure how to explain. Finally, his gaze fell on a corner to the side, his eyes filled with ambiguity. "He... would risk his life for you, but he wouldn't pick flowers to please you."

Qingyu suddenly looked up, seemingly understanding but not quite, but in reality, her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

She suddenly realized that she had been overlooking something: was it possible that Emperor Chen was reborn?

Or does he know something?

But when faced with the shrewd and profound eyes of the person in front of her, Qingyu dared not look at them or probe them further, and could only lower her head and remain silent once again.

The slender and delicate figure caught the Emperor's eye, adding another layer of heartache.

Finally, Emperor Chen gently patted her shoulder and sighed, "Don't worry, go ahead and get some rest."

Knowing she wouldn't get any information, Qingyu bowed and took her leave.

On the way back to her room, Qingyu kept thinking about what Emperor Chen had said.

Suddenly, the system quietly appeared and asked, "Host, are you feeling even more confused now?"

Qingyu rolled her eyes at it. "I know there's more to this than meets the eye."

Her confident tone caused the system to choke, "How did you know?"

Qingyu stopped and uttered two words, "I guessed."

System: "...Is there any difference between this and not saying anything at all?"

Qingyu did not answer. She gently stroked the gorgeous clothes on her body, but her mind had already wandered off somewhere else.

The next morning, Qingyu invited Shao Mingyu in. The latter was no longer as apprehensive as before, but instead looked expectant and excited. When she saw the beauty on the bed, her eyes lit up, and she carefully crawled to her side.

"Princess."

Qingyu lazily raised her eyes, her stunningly beautiful face still captivating even without makeup, her alluring red lips slightly parted, "Rong Jinnian is looking for you?"

This was news that Qingyu had received last night: Rong Jinnian had met with Shao Mingyu, and the two discussed something. Fifteen minutes later, Rong Jinnian returned with a sullen face.

Upon hearing this, Shao Mingyu's face turned pale, her eyes filled with panic. She hurriedly explained, "Princess, he wanted to use me to get close to you, but I refused!"

"Refuse?" Qingyu raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of disapproval. She moved slightly closer to Shao Mingyu, her radiant beauty causing the latter to freeze in place. She said softly, "It's just as well that you haven't had a chance to get close to him... This princess needs you to find some evidence against him. You can help this princess, right?"

Qingyu has her own bodyguards, but Rong Jinnian does too. Brute force and cunning won't work, so she'll try the honey trap. But she doesn't want to do it herself, so she'll let Shao Mingyu do it.

Furthermore, Qingyu had a hunch that if Shao Mingyu and Rong Jinnian were to be paired together, Rong Jinnian might end up feeling extremely disgusted.

Recalling the arrogance and conceit of the man she had encountered before, Qingyu firmly declared that she wanted to disgust him.

As for Shao Mingyu's feelings...

Who cares?

Anyway, in so many plots, the female supporting character forces the female lead in this way. She can give the female lead a chance to get entangled with the male lead, and everyone is happy, right?

Thinking this, Qingyu's smile grew even more wicked. But her beauty was undeniable, her smile captivating, and no one saw anything wrong with her; their eyes were only for her.

Shao Mingyu was no longer capable of thinking. She knelt down and willingly agreed, "I am willing to help the princess."

If only the princess would look at her even once!

Qingyu smiled, her eyes revealing satisfaction, and nodded slightly, indicating her approval of what was happening.

She said softly, "Hmm, well done. In that case, you should start the operation immediately. Remember, you must not give anything away, or all your efforts will be in vain."

Standing to the side, Shao Mingyu was extremely respectful, her eyes filled with infatuation, like a believer. Upon hearing this, she quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Princess, please rest assured and don't harm your health because of this."

After speaking, she slowly turned around, took light steps, and left the room.
