Chapter 249 Accident
When Situ Qinglan revealed her true face, Chu Jingyan immediately called out her identity, and Yun Qingqing was already suspicious at that time.
He certainly would not just pick any woman to assassinate her. Various signs indicate that regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, he would most likely find a way to expose the identity of the Seventh Princess.
However, Yun Qingqing discovered first that "Princess Mingyue" was a fake, so he took the opportunity to reveal his identity.
So Yun Qingqing made a special trip to ask Situ Qinglan about how she was ambushed, and with a little calculation based on the clue of "Xiuzhu", she figured out the whole thing.
Situ Qinglan stared at her with wide eyes, the disbelief in her eyes gradually turned into anger, with deep disappointment and sadness.
"It turned out to be her... I was so good to her, but she hurt me like this! Why on earth..."
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:
"You don't doubt my words?"
She already knew that the little maid had been with Situ Qinglan since she was a child, and was prepared for her to not be able to accept or even question herself.
Situ Qinglan wanted to grab Yun Qingqing's arm again, but was blocked by Xiao Changheng without any expression.
She glanced at Xiao Changheng with some fear, then shrank back and said seriously:
"Qingqing, you are so kind. You saved my life. How could you lie to me?"
Yun Qingqing smiled at her, and then reminded her seriously:
"It's good that you understand. This way, when you return to Jing Country, you won't be fooled by that maid's sweet words."
"What!" Situ Qinglan said angrily, "Could it be that after she harmed me, she didn't escape and still dares to stay in the palace?"
"Such a useful chess piece. As long as it is not exposed, it will naturally lurk in the dark and be ready to serve at any time." Yun Qingqing said with a slightly cold look.
Situ Qinglan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth:
"Don't worry, I will never give her the chance to stir up trouble again!"
Yun Qingqing nodded, and before she could speak again, the man beside her said:
"The Seventh Princess has been frightened. She should rest for now."
As he said that, he pulled Yun Qingqing and walked out.
Situ Qinglan watched the two of them leave the door, and finally her tense nerves relaxed as she let out a long sigh.
"The Regent's leg is actually healed. When did it happen?" She muttered to herself in a daze.
Qiao'er, who was carrying the medicine in, heard this. She was stunned for a moment, frowned, and put the tray with the medicine bowl heavily on the table, frowning and saying:
"The prince has always had only the princess in his heart. No other woman can catch his eye. Your Highness, please don't have any unreasonable thoughts!"
Situ Qinglan was stunned. Looking at the indignant look on the little maid's face, the corners of her mouth twitched:
"What nonsense are you talking about? That evil spirit was scary enough when he was paralyzed, and now he can actually stand up. He is simply a living devil! I have such thoughts about him because I want to die!"
What she said was not an exaggeration at all. Before, just watching that man in Jingguo killing assassins one by one like cutting cabbages was enough to shock her.
But he didn't know that he was so unlucky. Not only did he fall under the spell of assassinating the Emperor of Liang, but he also met the Regent face to face while he was conscious!
The murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at her at that time was so undisguised that it could give her nightmares!
If Qingqing hadn't intervened in time, my life would have been lost in his hands!
Qiao'er saw Situ Qinglan's pale face, trembling with lingering fear, and then she realized that she had misunderstood, and her attitude immediately softened a lot.
"Ahem... So that's how it is. That's good, haha..." Qiao'er touched her nose, picked up the medicine bowl and walked over, comforting her kindly, "You don't have to be afraid of the prince. The prince cares about my young lady the most. You are my young lady's friend, so he will definitely not do anything to you."
"Oh..." Situ Qinglan responded dejectedly and didn't really listen to what she said.
Although the look in the man's eyes when he looked at her just now was not as murderous as the one in the hall, it still made her feel inexplicably dangerous.
I must definitely avoid that guy from now on!
She thought of Yun Qingqing's kind voice comforting her just now and saying that she wanted to give her a talisman, and she finally felt better.
"Alas... Qingqing is still the best," Situ Qinglan sighed faintly, "You said she is so gentle, kind and capable, why did she marry such a terrible person."
"Yeah, yeah! My young lady is the best!" Qiao'er selectively heard only the words praising her own young lady, and immediately broke into a smile.
Situ Qinglan blinked and became interested:
"Are you Qingqing's personal maid? Can you tell me about her?"
…
Yun Qingqing was pulled out of Situ Qinglan's room by Xiao Changheng, and only broke free from his hand when they reached a secluded place.
Xiao Changheng paused and looked at her with deep eyes.
"Don't you want to see the legs? Come to my yard." Yun Qingqing walked forward with a normal expression.
Xiao Changheng followed her footsteps, but didn't say anything else. He lowered his eyes as if thinking about something.
The two came to Yun Qingqing's room, and she first carefully examined his leg meridians.
"…It's nothing. If you still feel pain, it's probably an illusion left over from the long-term pain. I'll prescribe a prescription to calm your nerves and regulate your qi."
Xiao Changheng watched her carefully write the prescription and hand it over. He pursed his lips as he reached out to take it and said:
"Yun Qingqing..."
"I have something to tell you." Yun Qingqing also spoke at the same time.
The two of them were silent for a moment.
"You speak first." Xiao Changheng looked at her deeply.
Yun Qingqing nodded and said seriously:
"Now that our agreement has been fulfilled, this deal should also be concluded. I will move out of the palace when all the diplomatic envoys have left the capital. Please sign this divorce agreement first."
She handed over the divorce papers that she had prepared long ago.
However, Xiao Changheng lowered his eyes and stared at her hand, and was reluctant to take it.
Yun Qingqing frowned:
"Your Majesty, we agreed that we would divorce after your leg was healed. Are you going to go back on your word?"
"Yun Qingqing," Xiao Changheng took a deep breath and spoke quietly, "You once said that you cultivate the great way of heaven and earth, and that the most important thing is the heart of the Tao, right?"
"...That's right, so what?" Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned.
How does this relate to the current topic?
Xiao Changheng raised his eyes to look at her, and suddenly curled his lips meaningfully:
"So, have you forgotten? There is still one thing that has not been completed in the deal between you and me, so we can't get divorced. This is also for your own good."
"……?"
Yun Qingqing thought about it over and over again but couldn't think of which promise she had not fulfilled. She was unusually confused.
"Have you really forgotten?" The man stared at her leisurely.
"Tell me clearly, which agreement is it?" Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, her expression a little solemn.
She has always kept her promises, and this situation has never happened before, but looking at the man's determined face, she was a little unsure.
"Come with me."
Xiao Changheng chuckled meaningfully, pulled her wrist, stood up, and walked out.
Yun Qingqing's mind was full of thoughts about how she could have forgotten her promise. She felt very uneasy and let him pull her to the spacious front hall.
The hall was brightly lit. The two men stood at the innermost end of the hall, and Xiao Changheng gave an order.
"Southern Expedition."
Then Nan Zheng came in carrying a box. After closing the doors and windows tightly, he stood at the door and opened the box.
"What are you doing?" Yun Qingqing was puzzled.
Xiao Changheng pointed to the door:
"Look carefully, what are those things coming out of the box?"
Yun Qingqing was stunned again when she heard that. She only saw Nan Zheng standing at the door stupidly holding an open box, but nothing came out of it.
She turned her head and looked carefully again, only to find that there were indeed quite a few small black dots flying around near the box opening.
Nan Zheng's expression was a little strange. He kept moving around, but it seemed that he didn't dare to make any big movements because of the orders.
Yun Qingqing's eyes gradually widened.
"Mosquito? Why are you showing this to me?"
She turned to look at Xiao Changheng, feeling even more confused.
The hall was more than ten feet long from the entrance to the inner end. If she had not cultivated herself and her five senses were not far superior to those of ordinary people, it would have been impossible for her to see those mosquitoes from such a distance.
So what is this guy doing?
Xiao Changheng looked at her confused expression, his eyebrows suddenly curved:
"Princess, you have good eyesight. You can tell from such a distance that those are mosquitoes...but I can't see clearly. What should I do?"
"?"
Yun Qingqing looked at him as if he were a lunatic:
"Why do you see those things clearly? What do you mean? Can you tell me clearly?"
Xiao Changheng looked innocent:
"It was the princess herself who said that if I married you, you would cure my eyes so that I could see clearly even a mosquito leg a mile away."
"But now that we are so far away, I can only see some tiny black dots, not to mention the legs of a mosquito...but the princess wants to divorce me. Is she going to break her promise?"
"!!!" Yun Qingqing finally realized what this person was talking about.
She was completely stunned.
