Chu Yuan held the jar containing earthworms; it was completely empty.
They found the Blue Sail ore, but naturally they didn't find a single earthworm.
It didn't matter, she wasn't really going to go fishing, she was just looking for an excuse to let the people in the Empress Dowager's palace discover those harmful things!
Now, let's see how long Dugu Pingting can hide. She's finished. The Princess Consort of Xiaoyao won't even have time to cry, let alone keep an eye on her.
But after thinking about it, Chu Yuan still took her fishing rod to the Imperial Garden to avoid arousing the Empress Dowager's suspicion.
She had just set up her fishing rod when she heard Dugu Yue's voice, "Shen Youan, you stop right there for this princess!"
Chu Yuan looked up at the sound and saw a tall, elegant young man in a royal blue robe. His hair was tied up high but not bound with a crown, and a few strands of hair fell down his cheeks. His features were deep and three-dimensional. Dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, he was truly captivating at first glance.
This must be Shen You'an, the youngest son of the mighty general, who is known as the most handsome man in the capital.
Dugu Yue is a serious looks-obsessed person and a bit of a romantic. She has pursued countless young men over the years.
Because she was the only princess in the country, everyone dared not speak out against her. However, they knew that Dugu Yue hated Ji Yunyuan the most, so they made up stories about liking Ji Yunyuan in order to get rid of Dugu Yue's entanglement.
Ji Yunyuan didn't try to clarify anything; she just asked these people for "cooperation fees." She had no choice; she needed to survive.
Compared to the hardships of survival and restoring the kingdom, Dugu Yue's hatred was nothing!
It's such a pity that such a patient and magnanimous girl died at the hands of the person she trusted and loved most.
The princess of a fallen kingdom entrusted her life to her childhood friend and bodyguard, unaware that he had been bribed. As she turned her back to him, he shot her through the heart with an arrow, leaving her with her eyes wide open in death.
Chu Yuan complained to Ba Ba, "Look, isn't being love-struck really scary? If Ji Yun Yuan weren't love-struck, she might have been able to complete the mission in the end, and I wouldn't have been needed at all."
Baba: [Your self-assessment is quite objective.]
"???" Chu Yuan's eyes widened: "What are you talking about? I'm talking about Ji Yun Yuan, how could I possibly have a love-struck brain!"
[So I wasn't talking about being love-struck, I was talking about intelligence? You've been here for so long, how come you still haven't won over the male lead?] Talking back and forth as usual, urging for progress.
Chu Yuan said proudly, "We definitely want to win them over, but can we use some more sophisticated methods instead of just stripping naked and striking poses?"
Besides, you know that Dugu Ling is a lunatic, so how can he be easy to deal with?
It's not illegal to accidentally kill me, okay!
Let's take it slow and steady, and win him over with my personal charm!
[Cough cough cough...] Baba choked unexpectedly. [Little cutie, are you sure you have any kind of charisma?]
"Absolutely!" Chu Yuan puffed out her chest. "Didn't you notice that after a few encounters, neither Dugu Ling nor Dugu Jue are as resistant to me anymore? Dugu Jue even helped me out a few days ago!"
Is such a small progress something to be proud of?
Ba Ba rolled her eyes, which Chu Yuan couldn't see, wanting to say something to tease her, but then she realized the male lead had arrived and shut up.
He quickly informed Chu Yuan and then fled.
Chu Yuan heard it, of course. Dugu Ling came around from behind her, acting suspiciously, and she didn't know what he was up to.
She pretended not to know.
Continuing to watch, Dugu Yue caught up with Shen Youan in the distance, stood on a rock to compare heights, and then roared at her, "Why are you avoiding me? What's wrong with me? You'd better tell me!"
The latter rubbed his hands together against his robe, his aloof expression as indistinct as the thick fog on a mountaintop.
After a moment of silence, he finally managed to utter a soft, gentle sound, “Princess, I’ve said it many times already. It’s not that you’re incapable, it’s that I’m incapable.”
Why won't you believe me?
Dugu Yue, "..."
She was so angry that her eyes and eyebrows flew up, and she shouted, "No! This princess will not allow you to say that. How can a grown man say that he is not good enough?"
"Or, you could go and ask my father for my hand in marriage. That way, I'll know whether you're truly incapable or just pretending."
Shen Youan, "..."
Chu Yuan: Pfft!
Is this conversation between the two of them really that funny?
Just as he was laughing hysterically, suddenly, a pair of large, warm, and dry hands covered his eyes, along with a man's deliberately disguised voice, "Guess who I am."
Chu Yuan, "..."
She seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with Dugu Tianxiong's genes.
How come all the babies born are such dimwits?
Chu Yuan slapped the hand off her eye, looking lazy and annoyed. "Dugu Ling, how old are you? Let go of me, don't interrupt my show."
The latter carries a sense of loss, as if all mystery has vanished.
I was also annoyed.
Why do I feel like I'm invisible in front of her?
Unable to find the answer, I unconsciously moved closer to her, wanting to find out the truth.
Thinking about it, Dugu Ling followed Chu Yuan's gaze and saw Shen You'an and Dugu Yue by the flower bushes.
The atmosphere between the two people over there was awkward.
Shen Youan looked up and noticed their gaze. Without thinking, she started walking this way.
Chu Yuan watched as Dugu Yue followed aggressively, then curled her lip and looked away.
Dugu Yue is a hedgehog, and Chu Yuan doesn't want to confront her.
But some people can't be avoided. Sure enough, as soon as Dugu Yue entered the pavilion, her attitude was even more aggressive than when she faced Shen You'an earlier. "Well, Ji Yun, it's you again! You're already my father's woman now, and you still want to compete with me for Shen You'an, huh?"
Chu Yuan was speechless; she didn't want to talk to an idiot.
She turned her head and reached for the fishing rod, but Dugu Yue insisted on making a scene and pounced on her, pushing her into the water!
