Chapter 3: Runaway
As their biological daughter, Shen Qingtang was left out by them, completely an outsider.
The original owner would definitely find this scene very eye-catching, would feel wronged, cry, and do some crazy actions.
But Shen Qingtang had no feelings for them, just looked at them coldly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
When Shen Tianming heard Shen Qingtang scolding him, his expression almost couldn't be restrained.
"Qingtang, go back first, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore."
As for the destruction of the country, he will send someone to investigate it thoroughly.
[Tsk, I'm just a poor princess with low spiritual power, who is not favored and is often framed. What can I do? ]
[You are so powerful, and you must favor Shen Muchen. What can I do? 】
Shen Qingtang glanced at them one by one.
【Old Deng, I will not tell you that Fengyin will be destroyed in two years! 】
【Stupid woman, don't even know who the traitor next to you is! 】
【Big idiot, eat and drink, you will not be able to eat when you die on the battlefield in the future! 】
【Second idiot, you big idiot, wait for your untimely death! 】
The whole family: ???
They all know it now.
Compared with these shocking news, Shen Muchen's illness suddenly became unworthy of mention.
"Yes, father."
Shen Qingtang turned around and left, even the corners of his clothes were raised, and he couldn't wait to leave here.
【A bunch of annoying things, I don't want to die with you, how you want to pamper Shen Muchen in the future is none of my business, I'm going to go back and pack my bags and run away! 】
Shen Tianming's eyelids twitched. Want to run away? That won't work. He will order the strengthening of patrols and protection in the palace. Not even a fly can fly out.
Shen Tianming glanced at the pale and powerless Shen Muchen. Xin'er is his daughter whom he has raised for sixteen years. How can he not feel distressed?
But Shen Qingtang said that Xin'er would give Fengyin Kingdom to others. What's the matter? He will never allow this to happen.
"Junlin, Chengyu, Xin'er needs to rest now. You go down first."
"Wait." Shen Tianming suddenly remembered what Shen Qingtang had just said.
"You two are grown up now and have some power in your hands, but you must also be wary of the people around you."
"Yes, father." Without his father's words, Shen Chengyu was also ready to go back and find out who was the enemy's spy.
Regardless of whether what Shen Qingtang said was true or not, we can't be careless, and we have to keep a close eye on Xin'er.
Shen Tianming has been thinking about Shen Qingtang's plan to sneak out of the palace, and he can't stay here any longer.
"Wan'er, I still have some official business to deal with, so I'll leave Xin'er to you."
"Okay, go ahead." Mu Wan nodded.
After leaving the palace, Shen Tianming ordered his personal guard: "Go and call General Lu, the sooner the better."
Not long after, Mu Wan couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't expect that there was a traitor around her. Thinking of this, she told the maids around her a few words and got up to go back to the palace.
After everyone left one by one, Shen Muxin, who was dozing on the bed, opened her eyes and looked at the palace door.
In the past, her father and mother would always be with her. When she was sick as a child, her mother stayed by her bedside and was so worried that she never left. But now, they just stayed for a short while and left her alone.
The love of her father and mother for her really changed. Shen Muxin was afraid that this warm family affection would disappear.
Since she was not their biological daughter, why did they raise her and spoil her so much?
She is now worried about gains and losses. People who have enjoyed the warm love like the sun are unwilling to lose.
The next moment, the grievance and panic in Shen Muxin's eyes turned into anger.
It's all Shen Qingtang's fault!
Why did she show up? Why did she come to break her happy life?
She is the most noble princess of Fengyin Kingdom, the one and only princess, the only daughter of her father and mother, and the only sister of her royal brother!
......
The moonlight was hazy and the surroundings were extremely quiet. The sound of the wind blowing the leaves was like the sound
of nature. Shen Qingtang walked on the path back to the bedroom, thinking about leaving the palace.
She didn't know how Shen Muchen, that dead green tea girl, would deal with her in the future. She might die before she could last two years. She had to run away immediately.
In the past few days since she came here, Shen Qingtang had figured out the route to leave the palace. She exchanged a small piece of jewelry for a storage ring from a palace maid. Her original storage ring had been taken away by Shen Muchen a long time ago.
There were not many valuable things in the bedroom, and no one cared about how she lived.
Fortunately, Shen Muchen didn't like her shabby clothes. She could earn a lot of spirit stones by pawning these clothes.
After thinking about it, she didn't have anything to pack.
Why not run away now?
Shen Qingtang turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
She already knew the time when the guards would change shifts. Now it was dark and windy with no one around. When else would she run?
Shen Qingtang sneaked around in the bushes, running here and hiding there.
She was exhausted before she even escaped from the palace.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead. Why did they build such a big palace?
Hearing the footsteps of patrol guards outside, Shen Qingtang immediately held her breath. She dared to breathe only after the guards left.
Luckily, if the guards hadn't left, she would have become the first princess in history to suffocate to death by holding her breath.
Not long after, the patrolling guards appeared again, and Shen Qingtang immediately found something suspicious.
No, why are there more patrol shifts?
Shen Qingtang stayed in the bushes without moving, and continued to wait for the next batch of guards to arrive. She calculated the time. Before, they patrolled once every quarter of an hour, but now it has become once every half a quarter of an hour.
Why is this?
Based on this, the estimated time for changing shifts at the palace gate has also changed.
What Shen Qingtang didn't know was that the guards had already discovered her whereabouts. How could a little princess who only cultivated at the first level of Qi Refining escape their eyes?
"I heard that the third princess was poisoned today. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, so we were asked to strengthen patrols. Don't let the murderer get away."
"Which bastard dared to poison the third princess? The third princess has a gentle personality, extraordinary talent, and is beautiful. I hope she can get better soon."
"..."
The voices of the guards became farther and farther away until they disappeared.
Shen Qingtang was so angry that she pounded her knees. If she had known, she would not have asked her father to investigate the matter thoroughly. Now, don't think about escaping from the palace during this period.
The plan failed. Shen Qingtang was in a bad mood and didn't want to go back to the palace. How could she sleep now?
As they walked, they came to the lotus pond.
The water in the center of the pond, which was full of lotus flowers, reflected the crescent moon and tree branches. Shen Qingtang's body shook unconsciously.
Three years ago, not long after the original owner was brought into the palace, she had her first argument with Shen Muxin here.
At that time, Shen Muxin whispered something to Shen Qingtang in her ear.
"My father and mother said that I will always be their favorite daughter, and you are just a dirty beggar. They are only nice to you on the surface, but they are sincere to me. Beggars should go back to the place of beggars. This place does not belong to you."
After saying that, Shen Muxin deliberately showed a sarcastic smile to provoke Shen Qingtang.
Shen Qingtang's eyes were red, and she pushed Shen Muxin into the pool in a rage. The corner of her clothes was grabbed by Shen Muxin, and she lost her balance and fell in.
