Chapter 118 You Are Not Qingqing
The speaker looked left and right, then covered his mouth, saying, "But it is said that the Imperial Concubine dislikes Her Highness the Princess very much."
"Only His Highness the Crown Prince treats her like a brother or sister."
"This……"
Whether the rumors are true or false is impossible to verify, but they are not entirely unfounded.
If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine's instructions not to argue with Liu Yingying, she would have already gone up and slapped her.
"What does my sister Qingqing think?"
Shen Qingqing, who was trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, was caught red-handed for the first time. She turned her head and saw Liu Yingying smiling and saying something.
Shen Qingqing finally saw through the malicious intent behind that smile and understood the true meaning of "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch".
Why can't we just get along peacefully? Why do we have to make it a fight to the death?
It's fine if it doesn't happen to you, but once it does, it's a disaster...
"...Anything is fine with me..."
She gave an awkward laugh, trying to brush it off.
"Given how close Qingqing and General Shen are usually, I thought Qingqing would support General Shen."
Liu Yingying glanced at Mo Mengli as she said this.
General Shen is the Prime Minister's adopted son, everyone knows that, but whether their relationship is close is another matter.
As a woman, she was extremely perceptive when it came to these kinds of things.
At the victory celebration banquet, General Shen spoke of the person he admired...
"Nothing."
With both Mo Mengli and Liu Yingying staring at her, Shen Qingqing was in a real predicament.
At that moment, she regretted not reading some of those messy, sarcastic quotes.
She's at a loss for words now, feeling utterly exhausted. She should have just stayed in bed and slept; coming here is just pure suffering.
Shen Qingqing felt restless all afternoon. She made an excuse to go out for a stroll several times before daring to come back.
As the sun sets, the noise gradually subsides, and groups of animals return in the distance.
The emperor sat on the viewing platform, while officials around him recorded the results.
Shen Mo rode a fine horse, with his attendants carrying loads of game behind him, to the emperor's presence.
His gaze met Shen Qingqing's from afar, and he smiled.
Dressed in black with a white horse, against a backdrop of a slightly reddish sky, her heart skipped a beat for a moment.
At that moment, it seemed as if their world consisted only of each other...
Mo Mengli blushed even more, as General Shen seemed to be looking at her.
Does General Shen also like me...?
There will be no more annulments...
She wanted to be Shen Mo's wife, someone who would treat her gently, just like...
She recalled Shen Mo's attitude towards Shen Qingqing at the banquet that day.
She was content with just that...
She didn't want to be a useless person; she wanted to prove to the Imperial Concubine that she was also charming and useful.
"One black bear, two white tigers, three wild deer, and six wild rabbits..."
The officials counting the items announced the numbers aloud, drawing exclamations of praise from those around them.
After the calculations were completed, the official respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, General Shen's harvest of the largest quantity and of the highest quality during this autumn hunt deserves the greatest credit."
"Good! Reward!"
The crowd below was in high spirits, and everyone had an expression of admiration on their faces.
"General Shen is truly a warrior among warriors!"
"Isn't that right? In my opinion, no one will be able to surpass General Shen in the autumn hunts from now on!"
……
"Come, General Shen, let me toast you!"
"At such a young age, he is already capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities! It is truly an honor for our dynasty to have General Shen!"
Just as he was about to go to Shen Qingqing's side, someone stopped him and offered him a toast. Yan Li then rushed over.
He left a smug smile as he passed Shen Mo.
It's as if it's saying, "You're too late, I'll go find Qingqing first."
"Qingqing, I didn't come in first place. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Results are not important, the process is what matters. As long as you are happy."
Shen Qingqing used that same approach, remembering how people online always comforted others that way.
She didn't care whether Yan Li could get first place or not; she was just there to have fun. But why did Shen Mo look unhappy?
She didn't do anything.
After finishing his drink, several more people came to offer him a toast. Shen Mo drank a few cups perfunctorily, then stopped drinking and searched for familiar figures.
He felt a little dizzy and couldn't distinguish the people around him.
"General Shen, let me take you to rest."
A voice rang out, and Shen Mo was helped into the tent.
I felt dizzy, feverish, and completely disoriented as I lay in bed.
"General Shen, let me help you..."
With a soft, sweet voice, she reached out to unbutton Shen Mo's clothes.
In that instant, her neck was grabbed tightly, and the person on the bed opened their eyes, staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
"If you're not Qingqing, then who are you?!"
The veins on his neck bulged, and his hands gradually tightened.
"General Shen... only I can save you now..."
As he spoke, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and his consciousness began to fade. He shook his head, and his body felt hot.
Tear—
puff-
The sound of a sharp knife slicing through flesh was heard, and a bloody wound appeared on Shen Mo's arm.
"You! Are you crazy?!"
As if that wasn't enough, he was about to stab other places, but fortunately Mo Mengli stopped him.
He didn't like her, and in that state, she could feel his resistance and dislike.
If it weren't for the effects of the drug, she probably would have been strangled to death by him long ago.
"why?"
She asked, "Why are you doing this to me? Is it because I'm not good enough?"
My father clearly ordered you to marry me! Why! Why did you refuse in public?
Is she unworthy?! Do you all think I'm unworthy?
I am a princess...
Even in this way, he was still unwilling...
Tears streamed silently down her cheeks. She didn't want to be useless; she wanted to prove herself useful. Yes, she wanted to prove...
She didn't want to be laughed at by everyone!
She didn't want to be abandoned by her father, abandoned by her elder brother, the Crown Prince, or looked down upon by the Imperial Concubine...
"You're not Qingqing... I'm looking for Qingqing... I'm looking for Qingqing..."
Shen Mo staggered to his feet, his vision blurred, and tried to endure the headache as he followed the route he remembered.
The flesh around his wrist was a bloody mess, and blood was dripping out relentlessly.
He didn't hear what Mo Mengli was saying at all, and he didn't know who the other person was. He just wanted to find one person...
The one in my memory...
He needs to find it so he can rest...
"Shen Mo!"
He finally relaxed at the familiar voice and fell into Shen Qingqing's arms.
[Lazybones, teleportation scroll.]
[Host, are you sure you want to spend ten points to buy a teleportation scroll? Ten points?]
The weight on her body made it hard for Shen Qingqing to breathe; she could barely hold on, even just for support.
【Confirmed!】
A roar echoed in his mind: if he didn't use them, they would both collapse to the ground!
A talisman floated in the air, and in that instant, the two disappeared.
"Qingqing? She was just here a moment ago. How did she disappear in the time it took her to grab something?"
in the tent.
After Shen Mo left, another figure appeared.
"Mo Mengli, look at yourself! Where is the princess you used to be?"
The woman slowly entered, sat down on the bed with a natural air, and covered her nose with a handkerchief in disgust.
"You! What are you doing here?"
Startled, she fastened her clothes and touched her head. "My hair accessory is gone!"
