Qing Yu sat in the carriage and looked up at the night view of the street. He had only been in the palace for three days, but why did it feel like a long time had passed?

She closed her eyes and felt the breeze brushing against her cheeks. Now that she was out of the palace, there must be many people who wanted to see her.

Thinking of this, a relieved and mysterious smile appeared on her red lips. She was ready to deal with it and accept what was about to happen.

The carriage returned to Huanxiang Pavilion according to her instructions. When Hua Niang saw that she had returned safely, she was delighted but also smiled with relief.

"Qing Yu...Princess." Hua Niang realized her current identity and hurriedly changed her words and saluted.

Seeing this, Qing Yu also greeted him with a smile and nodded slightly.

"I'll have someone notify His Highness."

"Buhua Niang." She spoke to stop him, "I'm going to go find His Highness."

After packing up, Hua Niang arranged for guards to accompany her back to Prince Xiao's Mansion in secret.

Qing Yu learned from Hua Niang that since she entered the palace, Yongqing City has been in turmoil again, and everyone in the city is talking about her.

It is said that the Emperor made an exception and conferred the title of Princess on her and granted her a mansion after only meeting her for the first time. He really dotes on this sister extremely. She is not only a real Princess in name, but also has the Emperor's protection. Who would dare to bully her now?

And these words are all metaphors, warnings to other people in the Jiang Mansion.

She was quite emotional. Even in this day and age, news spread at an incredibly fast speed. However, now she could finally walk on the street without any worries.

After returning to Prince Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Wenshu was already waiting to greet her in the backyard.

As soon as he saw her, Xiao Wenshu immediately ran up to her and hugged her, feeling mixed emotions at this moment.

"Qing Yu! You're finally back!"

"Are you hurt? Did His Majesty bully you?"

"What exactly happened here? My brother didn't tell me. I don't know anything and can't help at all." Xiao Wenshu asked a series of questions, his voice choking uncontrollably.

"Wenshu, I'm fine. His Majesty is very good to me and doesn't bully me." She stroked Xiao Wenshu's back and comforted him.

It seems that Xiao Yanqing did not tell Wen Shu about his conspiracy.

Xiao Wenshu couldn't believe it at all. He let go of her and looked her up and down. "Are you really not injured? In Jiang's house? Did they beat you?"

More than a month, he had never felt a month was so long.

"Really." She smiled and nodded repeatedly, confirming her heart.

After confirming that she was really fine, the two cheered. He was extremely grateful that she was fine and could come back safely. She finally escaped this disaster safely.

"By the way, where is His Highness?" Qing Yu glanced around, and it seemed that he had not seen Xiao Yanqing.

Xiao Wenshu's body froze visibly, and the worry that had just dissipated reappeared in his eyes in the blink of an eye, "Qingyu... my brother seems very angry, what happened to you?"

"It's okay, I will tell His Highness."

Xiao Wenshu saw that she looked calm, as if he had guessed it.

"My brother should be back from the military camp soon. No matter what, Qingyu, you still have to be mentally prepared. If it really doesn't work..."

Xiao Wenshu pondered in his mind for a long time. His brother had no weaknesses at all!

"It's okay, Wenshu, I understand." There was no ripple in those dark eyes.

Now even Xiao Wenshu was puzzled. Qingyu knew his brother's terror best, so why wasn't he afraid at all?

When they returned to the house, she could see Wen Shu's haggard face.

"Wenshu, what's wrong with you? You look so bad!"

How old is he, but he already has dark circles under his eyes!

"It's okay. We've been training these few days and haven't had much rest." Xiao Wenshu sighed helplessly.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why? So strict?"

"My brother is in the army to rectify, no one is spared."

"Your Highness is leading?"

"Yeah, I don't know what happened to my brother, and no one dares to ask. Qing Yu, you..."

Wen Shu's voice suddenly stopped, and his pupils constricted as he looked straight behind her.

She looked back in confusion and found Xiao Yanqing already standing at the door without her noticing.

His chest was panting slightly, probably because he had hurried back from the military camp.

"Your Highness." She smiled.

It was like meeting friends I hadn’t seen for a long time, and it seemed as if I had no idea how horrible thing would happen next.

Xiao Yanqing didn't say a word, just stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and walked out.

"Your Highness?!" She was stunned and had no choice but to follow him closely.

"Brother!" Xiao Wenshu hurriedly followed.

Xiao Yanqing dragged her directly into his bedroom. Yes, it was his bedroom, a place she had never been to before.

"No one is allowed to come in." Xiao Yanqing said this in a cold tone and closed the door.

"Yes, Your Highness." Qian Yun stopped Xiao Wenshu who wanted to break in outside.

Xiao Wenshu had no choice but to wait anxiously outside, praying that his brother could control his temper and not hurt Qingyu.

He believed that even if Qingyu made a mistake, he would never hurt them.

Qing Yu, who was in the room, looked at his terrifyingly gloomy face in the dim firelight, bit her lip and dared not speak.

"Weren't you very good when you were designing the strategy? Why are you silent now?"

The sharp light flashing in his eyes, every word he said was like a thunderstorm hitting her head, penetrating her nerves, and her heart was beating uncontrollably.

With just one sentence, she felt that he was very angry, angry at being plotted against and deceived.

Seeing that she still kept her head down and said nothing, with an innocent look on her face, he thought it was another scheme. How could she get away with it? !

The anger that he had been suppressing for the past few days was released from his heart bit by bit, and he could no longer endure it.

He grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the wall, trapping her with his body.

And she, with her back pressed against the cold wall, was subdued, feeling his breath hitting her skin, his suppressed anger, she had nowhere to escape.

"Jiang Qingyu! Speak to me!" He frowned and shouted harshly, with complicated emotions piling up in his chest.

She took a deep breath and raised her eyes to meet his intense gaze, which was enough to burn her pupils.

"Yes, I did it on purpose." She admitted it. There was no need to hide it now.

"Hmph! Jiang Qingyu! I really underestimated you!" He snorted coldly. It turned out that she had never let down her guard against him, and he had been kept in the dark.

"You made two moves, and were certain of his powerful identity. You found him and then found Gu. As long as one of them succeeds, they can help you, right?!" He raised his voice uncontrollably, and his hand holding her wrist kept tightening.

"Yes," she responded, her eyes concealing some unknown emotion.

"What I said that day... was also a lie. In order to get your current identity, you didn't let me stop you?" For some reason, he felt a strange worry in his heart. He was worried that she would admit it, worried that she would tell him that everything was a lie.

"No!" She immediately denied it. She had concealed her purpose, but what she said to him was not false at all.

"Heh, you've been lying until now, is there any point?!"

"No!" She shook her head anxiously.

"I wanted him to help me, but I didn't know he was the emperor. I just wanted to..." I wanted to stay here, to stay by his side in a more valuable way.

Creating more possibilities for success, her goal has never changed from the beginning to the end: revenge, to get him.

"Jiang Qingyu!" He was so angry that he punched the wall behind her.

Her heart also shook violently with this sound, not because of fear, but because of a heavy punch.

It hurts, it must hurt...

"I...I really don't know. I only know that he must be a member of the royal family with high status and authority..."

Yes, she was anxious, it was a lie, but none of this was a lie.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have hidden it from you..." The two gazes intertwined, tugging at her heart.

She didn't regret her decision, but she was worried that he would abandon her.

His angry heart suddenly tightened at her apology. He thought she would try her best to defend herself, but this time she didn't.

She once again confessed, "No matter what I do...I will not oppose you, nor will I hurt you."

She said this, but he didn't know what role he would play in her ultimate goal and what the outcome would be.
