Chapter 245 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 14
After Shao Mingyu left, Qingyu gently raised her right hand, a faint light flashed, and the familiar system interface instantly appeared in the air.
The system paced nervously, then stole a glance at Qingyu, "What's wrong?"
Qingyu looked up at the system, her face filled with doubt, and asked, "Do you really think... Shao Mingyu will be able to successfully obtain the necessary evidence for this mission?"
The system emitted a muffled voice, seemingly uncertain: "This... is hard to say. After all, according to the established plot development, Shao Mingyu always has the protagonist's halo protecting her."
Moreover, Shao Mingyu was no simple person in her past life either...
She's the future empress!
Upon hearing this, Qingyu couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain and snort coldly, "Hmph, then let's wait and see if she really has the ability."
If it doesn't exist, it's useless, and there's no need to put extra effort into useless things.
----------
After returning home, Shao Mingyu kept thinking about how to get closer to Rong Jinnian. The latter was now living at the embassy and rarely went out, so it would not be easy to get close to him.
But it's not impossible.
After thinking for a moment, Shao Mingyu wrote a letter and sent it directly to the embassy.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the courtyard, Rong Jinnian pondered for a long time and finally decided that he still had to get closer to Shao Mingyu.
Now the people in the palace seem to be wary of him, and he needs a shield.
"Your Highness, a letter has arrived!" A servant rushed over and handed over a letter with a woman's delicate handwriting. Rong Jinnian recognized it at a glance as Shao Mingyu's handwriting.
He raised an eyebrow, opened the envelope, and quickly read the letter. After a moment, his expression relaxed, and he let out a breath.
This is like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. Regardless of Shao Mingyu's motives, it's perfect for me to deal with her, clear some of my suspicions, and even see Qingyu...
Thinking this, Rong Jinnian waved his hand, "Prepare to welcome the guests."
Not long after, Shao Mingyu received Rong Jinnian's reply. She was both delighted and apprehensive. She held the envelope and pondered for a long time, Qingyu's beautiful face appearing in her mind. In the end, she got up and boarded the carriage.
She couldn't let Qingyu down.
Unexpectedly, the carriage was blocked halfway. Before Shao Mingyu could even lift the curtain, she heard a familiar voice.
She was somewhat surprised, "Qin Su?"
Qin Su appeared before her looking exhausted. Compared to her previous presentable appearance, Qin Su now looked disheveled, as if she had escaped from a refugee camp.
Finally catching her, Qin Su rolled her eyes and fainted.
Shao Mingyu was shocked and immediately had Qin Su taken to the clinic. Gritting her teeth, she finally made up her mind to go back to the embassy.
By the time Qingyu received the news in the palace, Shao Mingyu was already in Rong Jinnian's courtyard.
"Oh? Qin Su is injured?" Qingyu casually fiddled with the chessboard, her fair fingers even more beautiful than the rounded chess pieces.
She paused, then guessed, "Qingchen did it?"
The system's eyes widened. "How do you know? Your brother is acting like a madman, attacking Qin Su for no reason."
“It wasn’t without reason,” Qingyu corrected, her eyes and brows full of smiles. “Qin Su must know something and hasn’t had a chance to say it yet.”
But it doesn't matter, Qin Su really wasn't that useful...
"By the way, turn on the surveillance footage. I want to check on the male and female leads."
Qingyu mentioned it with interest, but the system just shrugged and still turned on the monitoring.
At that time, Shao Mingyu had already entered Rong Jinnian's courtyard, but the latter was dealing with official business and had not yet had time to see her.
She strolled back and forth along the garden path seemingly casually, but in reality, she already had a plan in mind.
Nothing special was there, and Shao Mingyu grew tired of it after a few glances.
The important place is not here.
Fortunately, Rong Jinnian arrived soon after. Seeing Shao Mingyu leisurely enjoying the spring scenery not far away, Rong Jinnian's expression was extremely complicated.
At first, Rong Jinnian did not pay much attention to Shao Mingyu's frequent appearances, assuming that she was just like other ordinary women who came because they admired her looks and talent.
However, as time went on, Shao Mingyu's figure appeared in his field of vision more and more frequently, which made him wary and vaguely feel that something was amiss.
However, after getting to know her, he couldn't help but be moved by this talented and beautiful woman.
This initial attraction vanished quickly after meeting Qingyu.
Now we're entangled again...
Rong Jinnian lowered his eyes to hide his impatience, stepped forward and smiled gently, "Mingyu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Shao Mingyu seemed to have just seen Rong Jinnian. After her initial surprise, she smiled sweetly and said, "Your Highness must be busy with important matters. It is I... who have disturbed Your Highness."
Rong Jinnian's smile remained unchanged as she cut to the chase: "You said you know some of the princess's hobbies?"
Shao Mingyu's eyes flickered, and she began to subtly use her words to seemingly inadvertently reveal some secrets about Qingyu.
This small gesture caused a huge stir, instantly arousing Rong Jinnian's intense curiosity.
His deep, pool-like eyes were fixed on Shao Mingyu, as if trying to see through her appearance to understand her true thoughts.
Even the slightest hint of Qingyu's flavor could make Rong Jinnian's heart flutter.
Seeing this, Qingyu felt somewhat bored. The two of them were slowly locked in a standoff, and she didn't know when they would finally succeed.
Instead of putting all our hopes on them, let's wait and see what others do.
Emperor Chen's punishment of Qingchen seemed neither too lenient nor too severe, but Qingyu understood that everything was a matter of weighing the pros and cons. After this incident, Qingchen would no longer be unique to Emperor Chen.
Qin Su, who was seriously injured, finally woke up. However, he left immediately after waking up and went to San Ye's general's mansion to seek refuge.
The people from the General's Mansion originally stopped this person, but Qin Su kept saying that he had something important to report, so the men, who were already cautious, only informed him.
Mitsuha was practicing martial arts in the training ground when she heard this and immediately went out to see Qin Su walking towards her. A sense of doubt arose in her heart.
It's important to know that Qin Su was previously entangled with Shao Mingyu and her group, with complicated relationships. Her sudden appearance to seek refuge must mean there's more to it than meets the eye.
San Ye narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Qin Su as she approached, his face full of vigilance. He said in a deep voice, "Qin Su, why did you come here to find this general? Could it be that you are harboring some ulterior motive?"
These words were blunt, and Qin Su gave a bitter smile, spreading her hands helplessly as she said, "General, you don't know this, but I am now desperate and have nowhere to go. I had no choice but to come to you for refuge, hoping to find a safe place to stay. Besides, this matter concerns the princess, and I hope you will treat it with caution."
After saying that, he looked at Mitsuha expectantly, as if hoping that she would take him in.
This was Qin Su's only way out. After learning that Shao Mingyu was in daily contact with Rong Jinnian, Qin Su gave up on the former.
After listening, Mitsuha raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just made a gesture, indicating that Qin Su should continue.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shao Mingyu was engaged in a difficult struggle with Rong Jinnian.
As time went on, Shao Mingyu felt that Rong Jinnian was unfathomable, as if she could never guess what he was thinking.
He was only interested in Qingyu; no one else seemed to catch his eye, and he never allowed Shao Mingyu to get close to him!
This feeling of not being able to understand the other party's thoughts made Shao Mingyu feel very uneasy. She began to worry that her carefully planned scheme might be ruined because she couldn't control Rong Jinnian, this variable.
