Chapter 46: Even with half the clothes off, they still managed to snatch the person!
Qian Yueshu's hand holding the teacup tightened almost imperceptibly.
Drugging?
Su Zhirou?
This was beyond her expectations.
How could Miss Su, who was known for her elegance and grace, do such a despicable thing?
Was it to force Xie Jingxing into submission, making it a fait accompli?
If that's true.
So in his previous life, Xie Jingxing loved Liu Yu and treated Su Zhirou as a substitute.
After all, if Xie Jingxing truly loves her...
Su Zhirou didn't need to resort to such despicable means.
Then Xie Jingxing would cling to him like a dog.
Qian Yueshu felt a little nervous.
Could it be that Xie Jingxing really likes Liu Yu?
If that's the case.
If the Crown Prince doesn't marry Liu Yu in this lifetime, then Xie Jingxing and Liu Yu might end up together.
No, no...
wrong.
Liu Yu was such a proud woman.
She's definitely going to be empress.
Even if the crown prince doesn't want her.
She and the Liu family would only choose one prince; there was no way they would choose Xie Jingxing.
right.
That must be it, don't panic.
She mentally told herself, "Don't scare yourself."
Qian Yueshu rubbed her aching forehead.
In her previous life, all she had to do was compete for the emperor's favor; every day, all she thought about was seduce the Crown Prince.
In this life, I still have to deal with all these messy things.
And it might also be because she was scheming against Liu Yu at every turn.
This will bring the Crown Prince a tremendous enemy!
On the other side.
Qian Yueqiu saw Qian Yueshu rubbing her forehead.
I thought she was also angered by that woman Su Zhirou.
Qian Yueqiu waved her small fist, her face full of righteous indignation, "That wicked woman! She always acts so high and mighty, but she actually uses such despicable methods behind my back! Luckily, when she wasn't paying attention, I hit her on the back of the head with a vase from behind, and she collapsed to the ground without even uttering a sound..."
She was still a little shy when she mentioned that she had slept with Xie Jingxing.
Now that things have probably started, Qian Yueqiu has become increasingly unscrupulous: "You have no idea, when I stopped them, Su Zhirou had already taken off all her clothes except for a thin veil, and Xie Jingxing was also at a critical moment... so I just pounced on him and pinned him down."
Qian Yueshu's hand trembled slightly.
Is this something a normal woman would do?
Qian Yueshu considered herself a bad woman, even vying for and fighting with Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan.
But she couldn't do something like snatching someone away when they were already half-undressed!
There's also Xie Jingxing's background.
That's the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
Legend has it that every man who comes from there is omnipotent.
They were just a wealthy family, and both men and women had to learn survival skills from birth.
Doesn't the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion teach people how to save their lives?
Qian Yueshu even suspected that Xie Jingxing was not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but rather someone who was half-heartedly coercing Su Zhirou.
She asked curiously, "Where's Xie Jingxing? You knocked Su Zhirou unconscious, and he didn't react at all? He didn't blame you or anything..."
Qian Yueshu still felt that Xie Jingxing was half-heartedly complying and deliberately accommodating Su Zhirou.
"He dares to blame me?"
Qian Yueqiu looked aggrieved: "I saved him. At that time, Xie Jingxing seemed to be in a lot of pain. He was tossing and turning, his face was flushed, and his forehead was covered in sweat... I read in the storybooks that if you are poisoned by this kind of drug, you will explode and die if you don't... don't do that!"
Her logic is simple and direct, with an astonishing "naiveté".
He went on and on and on.
Qian Yueqiu finally realized, belatedly, that her cousin's expression seemed a little off.
It wasn't surprise, nor praise, but a... absurdly complex emotion.
She immediately left, saying sensibly, "Cousin, I suddenly realize I'm really sleepy and need to go back to catch up on my sleep. I'll come see you again tomorrow..."
Qian Yueshu glanced at the sky outside; it was already afternoon.
She hasn't slept well yet?
Listening to the Rain Pavilion.
Ever since her cousin left, Qian Yueshu has been restless and even forgot to eat dinner.
She originally intended for her cousin to test the waters.
I never intended for my cousin to marry into the Xie family.
Moreover, given Qian Qiuyue's status as a merchant's daughter, she certainly couldn't be the principal wife; she could only be a concubine.
She faces the same problem!
No.
It's even harder than hers.
At the very least, Qian Yueshu had the Crown Prince's love and her older brother, an official, to back her up.
His two younger brothers are also exceptionally talented, and it is only a matter of time before they become rising stars in the court!
She herself is the head of the Qian family, controlling 70% of the family's wealth.
Qian Yueqiu didn't have Xie Jingxing's love, and her status was ridiculously low; she couldn't even be considered a normal person.
Things took an unexpected turn.
And then there's the matter between Xie Jingxing and Liu Yu...
Listening to the Rain Pavilion.
End of Hai hour.
When Xiao Qingxuan sneaked in tonight, he saw Qian Yueshu sitting alone by the window.
She looked haggard, wearing only a thin, moon-white nightgown.
In Xiao Qingxuan's memory.
Qian Yueshu rarely wears white; she has always preferred bright and vibrant colors.
At this moment, she had her back to him, her ink-black hair loosely tied up and secured with a simple jade hairpin, with a few strands falling down to her fair neck, trembling gently with her faint breaths.
She sat there motionless, gazing at the desolate waning moon outside the window, with a sense of fragile vulnerability.
Xiao Qingxuan's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain.
It's almost midnight.
Why isn't she asleep yet?
He usually comes over at this time.
Qian Yueshu was either asleep.
Or she could lie on the tatami mat, reading a storybook, and when he came, she would beckon him with her hand...
But tonight.
She neither read the storybook nor went to sleep.
Even at this late hour, they still haven't gone to bed!
She sat there by the cold window, her only companions the lonely moon and her own shadow.
A wave of heartache washed over Xiao Qingxuan.
He tiptoed, almost holding his breath, as he approached her from behind.
Xiao Qingxuan did not speak immediately, but simply looked at her quietly for a moment.
The more I looked, the more pronounced the throbbing pain in my chest became.
She exuded a profound weariness, not from physical illness.
He stretched out his arms, the night breeze carrying a hint of coolness, and embraced her slender body from behind: "What's wrong?"
She looked up and gave the man a reassuring smile: "It's nothing."
"It's nothing, why aren't you asleep so late?" The man's voice was filled with undisguised tenderness. "Tell me who made you angry, and I'll avenge you."
"I'm thinking about Xie Jingxing."
These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in Xiao Qingxuan's heart.
This name.
Like a brand, it was etched into Xiao Qingxuan's memory...
The brutal struggle for the throne in my last life is still fresh in my memory.
Thinking of the tragic death of Qian Yueshu in his arms, a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes.
Xiao Qingxuan gently kissed Qian Yueshu's cheek, his touch soothing: "Good girl, all you need to do is be beautiful, I'll take care of the rest!"
Xiao Qingxuan's words were absolutely true.
He genuinely wanted to shield Qian Yueshu from all the storms of life.
Let her live under my wing, carefree and smiling.
Qian Yueshu slowly shook her head.
She bit her lower lip, which was originally full and rosy but now looked dry and pale: "But I'm worried... worried that the Xie family's power will combine with the Liu family's power."
These words struck Xiao Qingxuan like a thunderclap.
