At this moment, the pair of eyes behind the artificial hill were staring intently at Li Baobei, wishing they could snatch her away from He You and tear her to pieces the next moment.
Gongsun Yue smiled bitterly: "He You, so you can be so gentle! Hehe~ It's a pity you never give me even a little bit..."
Li Baobei: "Lord He, you can go ahead! You don't need to accompany me to stroll in the garden. I'll play for a while and then go back."
He You looked at her with a worried expression, "Princess Chang Le, why don't you come back to the palace with me?"
He was still worried about leaving her alone in such a place.
Because there were outsiders present, both of them spoke in a more subdued tone to avoid causing any trouble.
Li Baobei said calmly, "No need, I can go back by myself. Lord He, please go first! Eunuch Lin is still waiting!"
Eunuch Lin looked at the two men, puzzled, but gradually began to understand, though he remained silent.
He You said in a more serious tone, "Then Princess, please be careful."
He slowly turned and left with Eunuch Lin, feeling uneasy all the while.
He thought to himself, "Nannan, I'll come back to find you right away."
Li Baobei watched the two figures walk away, a faint smile playing on her lips.
He turned and continued exploring as he walked toward the garden.
The person behind the artificial hill saw Li Baobei all alone and a chilling smile appeared on their lips.
"What's there to worry about! I will remove all obstacles between us. You can only be mine, and forever only mine, Gongsun Yue's."
"I never imagined you'd be interested in that good-for-nothing from the Li family, all show and no substance. What is it about me, Gongsun Yue, that I lack? Hahaha~ Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous~"
Gongsun Yue's expression gradually turned bloodthirsty. She felt like she was going crazy, and indeed she was! She admitted that she had already gone mad, ever since she couldn't have He You, she had gone completely insane.
The person she loved so deeply, the person she had been searching for so desperately, had never even glanced at her!
She naively thought that as long as she could watch him from afar, that would be enough.
But now! When she saw He You looking at another woman with tenderness on his face, she felt a tremor run through her entire body, deep into her bones.
No!
She doesn't intend to accept it; she has to fight for what she likes. She's always been like this since she was little, and she can get whatever she wants.
But He You was different. Even though she tried her best to win him over, it was all in vain and meaningless.
"If I can't have you, then no one else can!"
After many twists and turns, Li Baobei finally found the garden and saw the lake she had been longing to see.
The lake water is crystal clear, like a dazzling sapphire set in the garden, shining brightly.
A gentle breeze rippled across the lake, creating soft, emerald-green waves that resembled the swaying of a maiden's skirt, a scene of exquisite beauty.
"It's so beautiful!" Li Baobei exclaimed in admiration as she stood in the pavilion by the lake.
Just as she was about to admire the scenery by the lake, she heard barely audible footsteps behind her.
She turned her head and her eyes dimmed. "Greetings, Princess Ping Le." She gave a slight bow, her tone cold.
Gongsun Yue looked at her disdainfully, her eyes scanning her up and down. "Is this the face He You likes? If you slash it to pieces, will He You still like it?"
"If this face were on my own body, would he fall in love with me? Maybe!"
“If you destroy her, you won’t have this problem anymore.”
Hehe~
Li Baobei was a little stunned, only to feel that Gongsun Yue's gaze made her feel uneasy and terrifying!
Seeing that Gongsun Yue remained silent for a long time, she said coldly, "If the princess has nothing else, then this humble woman will take her leave."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
"Wait a minute~" Gongsun Yue slowly asked, "When did you and He You get together?"
Li Baobei knew she liked He You, and didn't want to hide anything anymore: "One year ago."
"Oh~"
"So long~~ I really envy you, Li Nannan." Gongsun Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, and gave a bitter smile, feeling utterly desolate.
"Why should a princess be so obsessed with one person? A forced relationship is never sweet."
"How ridiculous~" Gongsun Yue's last line of defense collapsed, and she shouted hoarsely, "You must be very happy right now! The person that this princess could not have was easily snatched away by you, Li Nannan. You should be very proud, right? Li Nannan!!!" She looked at Li Baobei with hatred in her eyes.
Li Baobei looked helpless, "I didn't..."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear a single word from you. Once you're dead, it will all be over. Yes, that way, it will all be over..."
Li Baobei looked at the almost crazed Gongsun Yue with trepidation, thinking to herself, "She might be insane. If I want to run away, there's no one here. If she's willing to kill me, I'm in a bit of danger."
She turned around and tried to run away, but it was too late. Gongsun Yue rushed forward, grabbed her hair, and pulled her towards the lake.
"Are you crazy, Gongsun Yue!" Li Baobei said coldly. She wasn't one to be trifled with, and besides, she could swim; what was a mere small lake to her?
You want to fight, huh? Who's afraid of who?
She grabbed Gongsun Yue's hair and the two began to struggle wildly by the lake.
Gongsun Yue's tone was filled with obsessive madness: "You should be content, after all, you and he have been together for so long. As long as you die, He You will fall in love with me, hahaha~" She laughed shrilly again.
Li Baobei struggled and said, "Even if I die, He You will never fall in love with a vicious woman like you. Don't dream about it."
"Anything is possible once you're dead," Gongsun Yue said, increasing the force in her hands and continuing to tear at Li Baobei's hair.
