Shen Song's pupils trembled as he stared at Lin Qingping in disbelief.
That face was as pitiful as ever, but the words she spoke were terrifying.
"Qingping, are you going to kill me?"
Lin Qingping's face showed sarcasm, and her beautiful eyes were filled with disgust.
"If Qu Jingyun were willing to save you, perhaps you would still be of some use. But now you have no value whatsoever, so what use are you?"
“Qingping…” Shen Song shook his head repeatedly, “It’s not like that. You said you would stay with me for life, you even said…”
"Shut up!"
Lin Qingping's eyes were filled with impatience.
She frowned in disgust and said sarcastically, "I don't know how the mighty General Shen could have such a stupid descendant like you. I approached you only to steal the Shen family's tiger tally."
Shen Song found it hard to accept this fact and took several steps back.
He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
No, that's not how it is.
He risked breaking with his mother and, in front of so many people at the banquet, assured the emperor that she was not a remnant of the previous dynasty, thus becoming the biggest joke of his own life.
He raised his head, his eyes filled with sorrow.
With a pleading tone, he asked, "Qingping, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
Lin Qingping thought for a moment and then nodded.
"If we're talking about feelings, there really are."
Upon hearing this, Shen Song's eyes lit up.
But what he said next completely killed his spirit.
"Does disgust or nausea count?"
"The thought of being touched by an idiot like you makes me feel disgusted."
Fortunately, Shen Song was easy to fool. She lied to him, saying she wanted to save her first time for her wedding night, and he believed her.
Lin Qingping urged her subordinates again, "Hurry up and give him the medicine, don't waste time."
The man in black immediately pinched Shen Song's mouth shut, while Lin Qingping personally fed him a pill.
The group then quickly disappeared from the prison.
No sooner had the group left than another group of men in black entered.
Seeing that only Shen Song was lying on the ground, the leader of the men in black frowned.
The person who came was Qu Jingyun.
She stepped forward to check Shen Song's breathing, and then put a pill into his mouth.
“He’s been poisoned,” Qu Jingyun said to Qu Jiu, turning around.
Qu Jiu's expression changed drastically.
"Lin Qingping has disappeared, and now only the eldest son is left in the prison. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
Thinking that this idiot could just stand by and watch Lin Qingping leave without saying goodbye, Qu Jingyun kicked him a few times.
I wish he were dead right here.
“Master, the eldest young master cannot die yet. If he dies, the Emperor might blame the General’s Mansion, thinking that we killed the eldest young master.”
Qu Jingyun kicked her several more times.
So annoying.
He should have arrived later and let Lin Qingping poison him.
She sighed helplessly, "I know what I'm doing. Go back now and wait for the Emperor to summon you tomorrow."
After saying that, the group quickly disappeared into the prison.
As for Lin Qingping...
She was a remnant of the previous dynasty; the emperor should be the one who should be worried, not a woman confined to the inner quarters of the palace.
The next day.
As dawn broke, a eunuch came to inform her to enter the palace.
On the way to the palace, the eunuch Wu Da observed Qu Jingyun's expression and praised, "Something big happened in the prison last night!"
"Madam Shen has truly raised a good son. He knew that Lin Qingping was a remnant of the previous dynasty, which is why he deliberately approached her. When he learned that her identity had been exposed, he immediately followed her into the prison, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the other remnants of the previous dynasty."
"Early this morning, His Majesty received a letter from the Minister of War, ordering the arrest of all those remnants of the previous dynasty. It's all thanks to the eldest son; he really suffered some injustice before!"
Qu Jingyun feigned shock.
"Wasn't that kid blinded by a woman, convinced that Lin Qingping wasn't a remnant of the previous dynasty? How did he manage to achieve any merit?"
Seeing that she didn't know, Wu Da deliberately kept her in suspense.
"Madam Shen will find out soon."
As they spoke, they arrived at the Imperial Study.
Qu Jingyun glanced at the Minister of War beside him without making a sound.
The Minister of War smiled and nodded secretly at her.
Qu Jingyun then bowed deeply to the Emperor, still appearing quite bewildered.
The Emperor was overjoyed and, smiling, personally helped her up: "Indeed, like father, like son; the General's family is full of loyalty and righteousness!"
She shook her head, "I don't know what happened yet."
Upon seeing this, the emperor paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Yesterday, the Ministry of War received a secret report from Shen Song, saying that he knew the hiding place of the remnants of the previous dynasty. The Ministry of War sent people to investigate, and sure enough, they found it and captured all the remnants of the previous dynasty. It's a pity that Lin Qingping escaped. However, the Ministry of War is investigating, and perhaps we can get information about all the hostile forces through her, which is a good thing."
The Emperor is no longer holding a grudge about Lin Qingping running away?
Qu Jingyun feigned excitement and wiped away her tears with her sleeve: "Fortunately, he didn't do anything foolish. Although he suffered some grievances, it was nothing serious. He has rendered meritorious service to the Emperor. Otherwise, how could my General's Mansion face the Emperor!"
The Emperor, seeing her feigned excitement, knew exactly what was going on, but could only smile and say, "Your son has rendered meritorious service this time. What reward does Madam Shen wish for?"
Qu Jingyun immediately knelt down on the ground again with a thud: "For so many years, General has been guarding the territory for the court and the people. His Majesty has treated the General's mansion very well. The mansion has everything. How dare I ask for a reward? It's just that... it's just that General has been away from home for too long. I'm afraid his three children can't even remember their father's face..."
The Emperor's eyelids twitched twice. Looking at her feigned sincerity with tears streaming down her face, he knew perfectly well that she was deliberately targeting him.
Although he was displeased, he thought about it briefly and nodded.
