Chapter 75: The Self-Torture Scheme
After Feng Moheng left, Shen Yuling's face instantly turned cold as ice, filled with chilliness.
It's really ridiculous.
Is Feng Moheng so naive as to think that house arrest is just house arrest?
He confined the Princess to her quarters for Liu Jingyi. This behavior clearly showed that in his heart, Liu Jingyi's status was higher than that of the Princess.
It also shows that now in the Prince's Mansion, the pregnant Liu Jingyi is the top priority.
Everyone needs to rely on him.
Shen Yuling never had real power in the Prince's Mansion.
The servants in the mansion are all opportunists who act according to the situation and do what they are told.
In addition, Liu Jingyi was secretly manipulating and fanning the flames behind the scenes.
It is conceivable that her Ninglan Courtyard will suffer some hardships in the future.
But the corners of Shen Yuling's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
Just what she wants!
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was filled with pink clouds.
Feng Moheng stayed by Liu Jingyi's side the entire day until the evening, when he hurriedly left due to official business.
Xitong looked at the meal sent from the kitchen, and her originally cute little face was now wrinkled.
Full of resentment.
"Master, Liu Jingyi is really going too far. She must have ordered the kitchen to only send some vegetarian food. Even this rice is probably yesterday's leftovers. It's not fresh at all."
Shen Yuling glanced indifferently at the food on the table.
Raised his hand.
"Go away, I have no appetite."
Xitong immediately shouted loudly: "Come here, remove all these dishes, our master is not hungry!"
This went on for two days.
As the princess consort of the county prince, Shen Yuling never complained to the county prince about the injustice suffered by Ninglan Courtyard.
Seeing this, the servants in the mansion became more reckless.
Even rumors were spreading in the mansion.
There were rumors about how doted on Liu Ji the Prince was, and how the Prince's wife had completely fallen out of favor and become an abandoned woman.
What's more, some people even said that the Princess of the County was a soft persimmon. No matter what Liu Ji asked for, the Princess of the County did not dare to raise any objection and could only endure it silently.
Bai Hua heard these rumors, and also heard Xitong loudly saying for two consecutive days that the Princess had not eaten.
She was worried.
If His Majesty summons Concubine Shen next time and sees that she is thin and asks about her, how should he explain?
She wanted to send a message back to the palace, but Shen Yuling unexpectedly stopped her.
Bai Hua was a little surprised. Concubine Shen might not be as simple as she imagined.
but......
Entering the palace as a concubine, there is a future only if you follow a smart master!
There was a gleam in Bai Hua's eyes.
Shen Yuling felt that the time was about right, so she decided to go to the palace today and perform a self-torture trick on Quan Minghe.
She called Bai Hua and asked him to deliver the message to the palace.
Yaohua Palace.
The night is as dark as ink, and the palace lanterns are swaying.
The dim light and shadow flickered in the night wind, like tiny stars scattered in the palace with carved beams and painted buildings.
The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are hazy in the night, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.
When Quan Minghe stepped into the palace, Shen Yuling was sitting alone on the couch, looking sad.
Inside the room, the dim candlelight illuminated her lonely figure.
She seemed to sense something and raised her eyes slightly, waiting to see clearly that the person coming was Quan Minghe.
Shen Yuling stood up, gently lifted her skirt, and trotted towards him.
She threw herself into Kwon Minghe's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and buried her face deeply in his chest.
In this situation, it seems that he is the only one who can give her a little comfort and support.
Quan Minghe raised his eyebrows slightly.
I was quite surprised by her proactive behavior.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yuling just shook her head slightly and remained silent.
But the hands around his waist unconsciously tightened and exerted more force.
Quan Minghe noticed that something was wrong with her.
He teased, "Are you ready to hold me forever?"
Shen Yuling loosened his hand, took a small step back, and knelt down to salute.
"Your Majesty, I just lost my manners. Please forgive me."
She lowered her head, her face hidden in the shadows, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Quan Minghe lifted her chin and looked at her face carefully.
"I haven't seen you for two days. How come your face looks sharper?"
Shen Yuling's eyes were red and her nose twitched slightly.
Quan Minghe frowned.
"What's wrong? Are you wronged?"
Quan Minghe looked at Lan Ying.
Lan Yin knelt down quickly.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the queen has been wronged in the Prince's Mansion."
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with Lanying. Lanying, get up."
"My daughter is the daughter of the Shen family and the princess of the county. How can she be bullied in the county prince's mansion?"
"Your Majesty, do you know that Liu Jingyi is pregnant?"
Quan Minghe naturally knew it, and he even knew it earlier than Shen Yuling.
But he never told her.
He thought that once she recognized Feng Moheng's true face, she would not be sad even if she knew that Liu Jingyi was pregnant.
But at this moment, seeing her like this, Quan Minghe's face darkened.
"She's pregnant, and you're sad? Because of Feng Moheng?"
Kwon Myung Hyuk's voice was clearly displeased.
"Feng Moheng lied to me, why should I be sad for him?"
"Liu Jingyi framed me, saying that I pushed her and caused her miscarriage, so Feng Moheng punished me by grounding me."
Shen Yuling raised her head and looked straight into Quan Minghe's eyes.
There was a look of grievance in his eyes.
"I never pushed her away, but Feng Moheng didn't believe me. After I lost my memory, he treated me like a fool. He neither liked me nor trusted me."
After saying this, Shen Yuling lowered her head.
His shoulders were shaking, with a hint of helplessness.
Although Quan Minghe did not like the trivial and complicated struggles in the harem, he had heard and seen many things while in the palace.
His harem was filled with open and covert struggles and intrigues that never stopped.
He simply handed over all the trivial matters in the harem to Liu Zhaoyi to handle.
Quan Minghe's hand was stroking Shen Yuling's back slowly, as if to soothe her anxiety.
In his heart, he didn't care about Feng Moheng's attitude towards her.
The more indifferent and heartless Feng Moheng was to her, the more satisfied Quan Minghe was.
only……
She seemed to be strong and resolute, so how could she be bullied by a concubine in the Prince's Mansion?
Won’t I be bullied if I enter the palace in the future?
"You were confined in the Prince's Mansion and were treated harshly?"
He was unhappy about seeing her today, and his face became much sharper.
"It's nothing more than being deducted from daily expenses such as food, ice, and aromatherapy."
Shen Yuling shrugged slightly, pretending to be nonchalant.
"I don't care."
She looked at Quan Minghe steadily.
"I just want to know, does your Majesty believe that I didn't push her?"
"Is my trust important to you?"
Kwon Myung-hyuk's eyes are deep and difficult to read.
"Whether you push her or not, I will only help you."
Feng Moheng has been deeply in love with Liu Jingyi for many years, and now Liu Jingyi is pregnant again. Feng Moheng's choice between Shen Yuling and Liu Jingyi is clear.
Sometimes a man's behavior is not about trust or not, but his choice shows the status of the person he values in his heart.
"Your Majesty will really help me?" Shen Yuling asked.
"Help you deal with Liu Jingyi?"
Quan Minghe's eyes were deep and dark, and Shen Yuling couldn't figure out what he meant.
"No, Liu Jingyi is pregnant, and I have no deep hatred against her. It was Feng Moheng who deceived me. Maybe he also deceived Liu Jingyi. It's him I hate."
Liu Jingyi is Liu Zhaoyi's younger sister.
It would be unwise to rashly ask Quan Minghe to deal with Liu Jingyi at this moment.
Moreover, for a male chauvinist like Quan Minghe, asking him to argue with a woman would probably anger him and he would regard it as an insult.
