Chapter 250 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 19
Seeing Qingyu's resolute attitude, Rong Jinnian's expression changed several times. In the end, he could only leave in anger. However, he could not quell the resentment in his heart. As soon as he left the mansion, he began to make arrangements, "Tell them that I agree to what they asked for!"
The guards beside him responded and left. Thinking of the assassins who were captured today, Rong Jinnian let out a long sigh and rubbed his temples. His brothers were not simple either. They knew what he was plotting. On the surface, they helped him, but in reality, they only made things difficult for him!
But now he really doesn't want to force Qingyu. If things had gone according to the original plan, he should have gotten engaged to Qingyu!
now……
Rong Jinnian's mind was in turmoil. He sat in the carriage thinking for a long time before finally hardening his heart...
He's not wrong, right? He wouldn't let the other person down, so he's not wrong!
------------
After seeing off the eyesore, Qingyu turned to Li Mo and Qin Su with a faint smile. The smile was very gentle, but her eyes were bright and sparkling.
"Today's scene was really interesting, and I hope there will be more fun things to come."
A strange remark stirred the thoughts of the two people present. Just as Li Mo was about to speak, Qing Yu waved her hand, took a few light steps, and went back into the house, leaving Li Mo and Qin Su to look at each other.
They knew that the struggle surrounding Qingyu had only just begun.
Thinking about what happened to Qin Su, Li Mo didn't think this guy could stay for long. Emperor Chen would definitely take action, whether for Qing Yu or Qing Chen. Qin Su's existence was always a threat.
Therefore, in Li Mo's eyes now, Qin Su is nothing more than a "dying man".
He suppressed his inner rage and smiled warmly, "Young Master Qin, please go and rest. It's getting late."
Qin Su's eyes flickered, and she asked carefully, "I wonder what your decision is?"
He already mentioned when he came some time ago that he had certain requirements for coming to seek refuge with me.
That is to clear his name and allow him to enter the imperial court as an official.
Li Mo smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. "We still need to wait."
What a joke! This is no easy task. Even Emperor Chen has intervened, and Qingyu is watching closely. Whether from a public or private perspective, he cannot possibly agree to Qin Su's request.
Qin Su is lucky to be alive right now!
After saying that, Qin Su didn't press the matter. She simply nodded casually and left, seemingly unconcerned.
----------
After returning to her room, Qingyu didn't even have time to take a bath before deciding to check on Shao Mingyu's situation, since the system had already sent the information.
However, before she could even look at it, she received a letter from Qin Su.
She fell silent for a moment, and for the first time, a feeling that was hard to put into words welled up in her beautiful eyes.
How could he be so bold in someone else's home?
Upon opening the letter, after briefly revealing his identity, he repeatedly emphasized his desire to abandon darkness and embrace light, stating that he would reveal everything if Qingyu trusted him.
This includes information he knows about the locations where Rong Jinnian secretly raised troops in Chen Kingdom.
It could be said that it was a crazy and rash decision, after all, Qingyu didn't understand what was so good about him following her.
She's just a lazy, spoiled, and arrogant princess.
"Are you going to reply?" the system asked cryptically, already prepared to be a deliveryman; staying cooped up around Qingyu every day wasn't fun anymore.
It's so beautiful!
"I'm not going back." Qingyu refused haughtily, lazily sitting back on the small couch, pressing her slender fingers against her waist, and nodding in satisfaction.
She hasn't gained weight; in fact, she's lost a bit.
The system was persistent and wanted to ask more questions, but Qingyu gave it a sharp look, and it obediently squatted down.
Forgot, Qingyu is not someone to be trifled with now.
Outside.
Qin Su waited until the moon rose above the willow branches but still didn't hear a word. No matter how much he tried to convince himself, he could only turn away in disappointment.
He is worthless; the princess doesn't need him.
--------------
Upon returning home, Rong Jinnian immediately summoned her maid and inquired, "How is she today?"
The maid's eyes trembled as she forced a guilty look and said, "Miss is very well-behaved every day, and I'm watching her from the side."
Rong Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly, twitched his fingers, and finally nodded with a smile, as if relieved. "You may leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maidservant hurriedly retreated. At the same time, Rong Jinnian waved his hand, and a blur flashed before his eyes. The next second, the maidservant collapsed to the ground, her life hanging in the balance.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Shao Mingyu again," Rong Jinnian ordered in a low voice, his expression unreadable and extremely sinister.
He had previously thought that Shao Mingyu was just a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken and was nothing to be afraid of, but he underestimated her.
Thinking of something, Rong Jinnian strode towards the study.
Shao Mingyu was reading with a restless mind, and more than half an hour had passed without her turning a single page.
Noticing footsteps approaching from outside the door, she quickly straightened her posture, adopting a dignified and quiet demeanor befitting a young lady.
As Rong Jinnian entered, Shao Mingyu feigned surprise, "Your Highness? You're back?"
Rong Jinnian's eyes were like torches, staring intently at Shao Mingyu in front of him, not missing a single subtle expression or movement.
Suddenly, Shao Mingyu had a thought, and seemingly unintentionally revealed a subtle flaw—she hurriedly covered the book with her hands, her face full of panic.
Rong Jinnian's eyes sharpened. Without hesitation, he grabbed Shao Mingyu's sleeve, pressing closer and sternly questioning, "What...did you do today? Who sent you?"
Shao Mingyu was secretly delighted, but on the surface she pretended to be terrified, her body trembling slightly, and she stammered, "I...I'll tell you, please don't frighten me anymore, sir."
Then, she began to sob softly, tears streaming down her face like pearls. "Actually, it was Princess Qingyu who sent me."
Shao Mingyu said in a low voice.
Rong Jinnian was taken aback, her eyes filled with doubt and suspicion. "Qingyu? Why did she send you?"
Shao Mingyu raised her tearful eyes, "The princess said that Your Highness harbors treacherous intentions, and that she is afraid of you, afraid that you will harm her. That's why she sent me to investigate. But my feelings for Your Highness... prevent me from agreeing to the princess's request. I only wish that Your Highness will not send me away, and that I can stay by your side..."
After she finished speaking, she prostrated herself on the ground, her slender and frail body trembling slightly, her beautiful profile filled with fear, making her look pitiful.
Rong Jinnian's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Unspeakably, he felt a pang of sympathy. He paced back and forth, his mind swirling with thoughts.
What exactly is Qingyu planning? Has she already discovered my plan?
No, it shouldn't be.
Perhaps, he used Shao Mingyu to lure Qingyu out.
Thinking of this, Rong Jinnian let out a breath, his expression softening considerably. He knelt down and helped Shao Mingyu up. "I don't blame you. If you want to stay here, then stay. However, the misunderstanding between Qingyu and me still needs to be cleared up. I'd like you to write an invitation to invite her out, okay?"
