seduce
Wang Qianqian couldn't guess what she meant, so she followed closely and said, "Sister, what are you doing? We haven't found out where that bitch is yet!"
But Xiao Yiqing seemed to have suddenly become a different person. She showed no interest in the questions she was asked and left without pausing.
Wang Qianqian was extremely anxious. She called Xiao Yiqing, but Xiao Yiqing did not respond. She turned around and wanted to continue asking Chen Run, but Chen Run looked like a dead man. Helpless, she stomped her right foot and caught up with Xiao Yiqing.
For some reason, Xiao Yiqing seemed to have suffered a great blow. She sat in the carriage without saying a word the entire way, even when Wang Qianqian talked about Liu Ruyi, a topic she was most interested in, she remained unmoved. Wang Qianqian wanted to go to Peach Blossom Garden with her, but she refused.
Wang Qianqian was furious. She had originally intended to use Xiao Yiqing to find out Jiang Yan's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, her efforts were in vain. She angrily returned to her Begonia Garden.
Shangguan Zeyu's mood had been increasingly depressed and melancholy lately. He only felt a little better after riding horses with Zhang Qin in the suburbs for an afternoon.
He returned to the palace, had just finished washing up and tidying up, and hadn't even had a cup of tea when Wang Qianqian came to find him.
Shangguan Zeyu had absolutely no liking for Wang Qianqian, but because of "Liu Ruyi," he still allowed her to stay in the Wang Mansion.
"Come in," Shangguan Zeyu said, sitting down at the desk.
Wang Qianqian had changed into a bright outfit, which matched the gradually warming spring weather perfectly.
She gave Shangguan Zeyu a sweet smile, even though he wasn't even looking at her. She took small, quick steps and slowly moved in front of him.
Shangguan Zeyu still didn't look at her, nor did he say a word.
Her voice was gentle as she said, "Your Highness, the weather is lovely today. You must be in a good mood after your trip."
"Never mind."
When Wang Qianqian saw that Shangguan Zeyu had actually answered her seemingly unimportant question, she was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Would Your Highness like some tea? I'll go make you some." As she asked this, she was already walking towards the tea table.
Shangguan Zeyu looked displeased and glanced at her impatiently, saying, "I have already drunk my fill."
Wang Qianqian paused involuntarily while brewing tea, and her face suddenly darkened. But she quickly continued brewing tea, smiling as she said, "The tea needs to sit for a while before it's ready to drink. I'll brew it for Your Highness first, so it will be ready when Your Highness wants to drink it."
Shangguan Zeyu did not respond to her, but his brows furrowed even more.
Wang Qianqian brewed the tea and carefully carried it towards Shangguan Zeyu. A faint smile remained on her face, indicating that she was in a good mood.
"Your Highness." Wang Qianqian walked around to Shangguan Zeyu's side and gently placed the tea in front of the book he was reading, just in time to prevent him from turning the pages.
Shangguan Zeyu had no choice but to stop reading and look at her. But at that moment, before Shangguan Zeyu could even see her face clearly, she suddenly fell into his arms for some reason.
Shangguan Zeyu instinctively put his arm around her lower back.
"Your Highness, you must be tired after a long day. Let Qianqian give you a shoulder massage, shall we?" Wang Qianqian smiled, her eyes brimming with affection, her seductive intent quite obvious.
But Shangguan Zeyu agreed, allowing her to massage his shoulders.
Wang Qianqian was extremely excited and slowly climbed up from Shangguan Zeyu's arms. Shangguan Zeyu's eyes seemed to be attached to her, following her every move.
Wang Qianqian smiled, her excitement evident on her face, and slowly walked around to Shangguan Zeyu's back.
Shangguan Zeyu seemed to be silently pondering something, or perhaps silently sensing something, staring straight ahead, motionless.
At first, Wang Qianqian's hands were relatively well-behaved as she massaged Shangguan Zeyu's back. But as she massaged, her hands slowly moved to Shangguan Zeyu's chest and then lingered there, sliding back and forth. Her cheek had unknowingly moved closer to Shangguan Zeyu's right neck, almost touching his profile.
Shangguan Zeyu remained expressionless, making no move or showing any reaction.
Wang Qianqian then assumed that she had received his permission, and her subsequent actions became increasingly bold.
She withdrew her hands and slowly moved them from Shangguan Zeyu's waist to his abdomen, gently stroking it. She then tried to stroke his thighs as well.
But at that moment, Shangguan Zeyu coldly stopped her: "Enough!"
Wang Qianqian's unruly right hand paused only slightly before boldly continuing to slide forward.
Shangguan Zeyu pulled her to stand to his right, his eyes flashing with coldness and disdain: "What are you doing?"
Wang Qianqian thought she had misread or misheard, and paused for a moment. Then, like a weakling, she tried to use the same trick to fall on Shangguan Zeyu again, but this time Shangguan Zeyu did not give her the chance. Instead, he gently pushed her aside.
Wang Qianqian stumbled, and after regaining her balance, she looked at Shangguan Zeyu with a sorrowful and confused expression.
Shangguan Zeyu maintained a cold expression throughout, saying, "I've already told you, don't try anything funny!"
Wang Qianqian felt wronged and said coquettishly, "Your Highness~ How could Qianqian have been scheming? Qianqian just wanted to give Your Highness a massage to relieve your fatigue! Your Highness has misunderstood Qianqian!"
Shangguan Zeyu didn't say anything, just stared at her expressionlessly, but Wang Qianqian didn't feel scared or guilty at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly at Shangguan Zeyu.
Shangguan Zeyu slowly revealed a cold, hard smile: "Just because I'm not holding your past actions against you doesn't mean I've forgotten them. I allowed you to stay in the palace only to use you; you should understand that."
However, Wang Qianqian was neither angry nor upset after hearing this, and even felt it was nothing. She said, "Your Highness, of course Qianqian understands what Your Highness means. Qianqian did this for Your Highness's sake. If Your Highness is happy, Qianqian is happy." She then walked to Shangguan Zeyu's side and wanted to hug Shangguan Zeyu's neck.
This time, however, Shangguan Zeyu was no longer as lenient as before. He suddenly stood up and shoved her aside violently.
"I hate people who can't understand human language!"
Wang Qianqian took four or five steps back before she could barely steady herself against the wall.
She was angry this time, and even more aggrieved: "Your Highness! Why are you so heartless? What did Qianqian do wrong?"
Shangguan Zeyu looked at her coldly and said, "Do you really want me to tell you everything one by one?"
The others were unsure what to say after hearing this, but Wang Qianqian was not afraid at all. She said decisively, "Please tell me what happened, Your Highness."
Shangguan Zeyu narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly trying to figure out what she meant, but still said, "Very well, then I will grant your wish!"
"You were responsible for Shen Qianqian's child dying in the womb, weren't you? You were also the one who repeatedly framed Ruyi and pinned the blame on others, weren't you? You were the one who leaked information about the Prince's mansion, weren't you? And you can't escape responsibility for the series of unexplained deaths of the women in the mansion, can you? With all these things, what else can you say?"
"Qianqian has nothing to say about how Your Highness views her." Wang Qianqian felt even more aggrieved and pitiful.
Shangguan Zeyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, then said coldly, "You'd better not do anything to offend me again, or I will definitely not let you off!"
Wang Qianqian was even able to laugh at this moment: "Your Highness, what if it were the Princess Consort? What if the Princess Consort asked Qianqian to do it? How would Your Highness punish the Princess Consort?"
Shangguan Zeyu's patience with her was almost exhausted. He said nothing more, only staring at her with a warning tone.
She also felt bored and knew that staying any longer would not do her any good, so she bowed to Shangguan Zeyu and obediently left.
After Wang Qianqian left, Shangguan Zeyu collapsed into a chair, completely lost in thought, as if a house had suddenly crumbled.
