"Then let's go to the pavilion and talk." Shi Wuqing didn't want to ask so many questions. The most urgent thing now was how to shut Hongming up.

Hongming followed Shi Wuqing's words and glanced at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The four-corner pavilion is located in the middle of the small lake, surrounded by clear lake water and farmed ornamental fish. No matter how you look at it... it doesn't look like a place for serious meetings.

On the contrary, it looks like... a place where men and women meet and flirt.

“…” He cracked even more.

If the princess had really touched him just now, he would have lost his arm!

The prince was extremely rational in everything, but when it came to this woman, he indulged her without any bottom line and showed illogical preference for her.

Now...if he went to a place like that with her to have a "secret conversation"...

Hongming felt a little cold on his back, and he didn't want to turn around to see if the prince was looking at him with a creepy look.

"Princess..." Hongming raised his hand and pointed with his scabbard: "I think that place is more suitable for discussion."

"Hmm?" Shi Wuqing looked over in confusion, and then she saw... a very empty open space directly exposed to the sun.

There wasn't even a shadow of a tree, so if you made any small movement, the custodian could see it clearly from eight hundred meters away.

"..." Shi Wuqing: "Okay." No matter what, business is the most important.

Hongming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two of them arrived at the open space, Hongming took the lead and said, "Princess, what surprise do you want to prepare for the prince? Do you need my help?"

Shi Wuqing nodded: "Just now in the carriage, what did the prince tell you to do? Do you remember?"

"Remember."

"Good, now you don't remember."

“……?” Hongming.

"If you still remember," Shi Wuqing threatened with a smile, "then I will frame you in front of the prince, saying that you like me, have bad intentions, and have touched me in private... and so on."

“?” Hongming.

His heart skipped a beat, and he frowned as he looked at Shi Wuqing: "Princess, what do you want to do?"

"I won't hurt A'luan, but I think if he doesn't ask specifically, you shouldn't mention this to him again." Qi Luan no longer remembered this part, so naturally he couldn't ask specifically again.

Shi Wuqing spoke clearly, "Is that okay? This isn't a secret, but I don't want you to bring it up with him again."

Hongming didn't understand the meaning of Shi Wuqing's behavior. If he didn't take the initiative to mention it to the prince, would the prince forget it?

Why do you have to threaten him with...this method?

To be honest, Hongming was really frightened when he heard Shi Wuqing's threats.

Because he knew that if Shi Wuqing really said so, the prince would definitely believe her.

Let’s not talk about how much the prince likes her, just looking at her appearance... I believe that even those who know her character would not doubt the truth of this statement.

This princess was not a world-famous beauty, but Hongming believed that no one who saw her would think that there was anyone more beautiful than her.

To put it more paradoxically - it is a kind of beauty that has nothing to do with appearance.

Hongming's eyes flashed, "Princess, I don't understand the meaning of your doing this."

"You don't need to understand." Shi Wuqing's eyes curved, "Then I'll take that as your agreement! Thank you!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Hongming looked at her back with complicated feelings.

Don’t say it…don’t say it.

If the prince doesn't ask.

…

After solving the hidden danger of Hongming, Shi Wuqing felt that life was much easier.

Now she just has to wait until the finale!

The finale will not be long. Shi Wuqing has already seen from the reader panel that the Xiao family has sided with Qi Luan, and many of the emperor's subordinate forces have also chosen to betray. Qi Luan has fought with the emperor several times, and he has won most of them. It is only a matter of time before he takes the throne.

While the fighting outside was fierce and the situation was treacherous, Shi Wuqing was living a good life in the well-protected Prince Qi's Mansion.

In the middle, she also found an opportunity to mislead the readers - the poison would not only damage her health, but also make her lose her voice.

That’s right, Shi Wuqing still hasn’t given up his plan of pretending to be mute!

There was no other way! Normally, she could still pretend, but when she was beaten up and didn't feel any pain... how could she pretend?

She was afraid that her howling would sound like a monkey's cry...

The system was speechless: "Host, do you think that without making any sound, you can convey the pain worse than death through facial expressions and body movements?"

"..." Shi Wuqing: "It seems... not possible."

“Life is worse than death” is quite challenging.

"What should I do?" She browsed the store for a while, and suddenly an idea hit her: "Don't I have the hypnotic ability of an ocean voice? On that day, I will hypnotize everyone around me and make them feel that my life is worse than death!"

The system thought for a moment and said, "It's feasible, but you have to be careful. The author will not only describe how miserable you are in the eyes of others, but also write from a god's perspective. You have to pretend a little."

"Yeah." Shi Wuqing nodded.

The system nodded. "Perfect, except that you've misled the readers into thinking you're going mute."

“…” Shi Wuqing froze.

So, now it’s not a matter of whether she wants to pretend to be mute or not, but she has to be mute, otherwise it would be inconsistent.

But… I’m mute, so how can I use my siren voice?

She held her head in her hands: "Then I will be half-mute! Sometimes I am mute and sometimes I am not!"

System: “…6.”
