Meng Qingqian looked at the peony handkerchief with a strange expression.
Her first reaction was to be startled by the handkerchief; her heart pounded, her muscles tensed, her blood rushed to her head, and she almost couldn't catch her breath. However, when He Yunxiao said, "The handkerchief appeared on Meng Qingqian's table," she breathed a sigh of relief. The intense physical reaction disappeared, leaving only her fair and beautiful face flushed red with embarrassment at this extremely embarrassing incident.
Having been broken down by He Yunxiao, Meng Qingqian couldn't keep her eyes on him for long. With her pretty face flushed red, she didn't even dare to look at him.
Meng Qingqian was breathing heavily. She looked down at the candied fruit on the table. After her physical reaction subsided, she quickly placed her fair hand on her chest and stroked the bell that could control He Yunxiao through her clothes.
After a breath, her heart slowed down, her breathing became steady, and although her face still had a lovely pink hue, it was no longer the translucent blush of a young girl.
Because of the breach in her defenses, Meng Qingqian had been unconsciously tormented by He Yunxiao countless times. To think that she, the powerful Princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, second only to the Emperor, was now unable to even look He Yunxiao in the eye.
Not only that, but he would often break her defenses, making her blush with embarrassment, like a shy, unmarried young girl. Although Meng Qingqian didn't show it on her face, she already hated He Yunxiao to the core in her heart.
Meng Qingqian's fair and delicate hands secretly clenched into a small fist.
If I could, I'd bring He Yunxiao into the palace, then personally castrate him and make him my personal eunuch. Isn't he lustful? Then I'd let him gaze at my unparalleled beauty all day long, but he just couldn't have her, tormenting him to death.
Having witnessed the series of changes in the antidote firsthand, He Yunxiao suddenly had a bold conjecture.
"Miss Li, have you taken the wrong medicine?"
Meng Qingqian scoffed, "When you gave me the handkerchief, I knew you were going to buy the same one to blackmail me. Today I'm going all in. If you want to give the handkerchief to Meng Qingqian, go ahead. Anyway, I can't do anything about Jiang Wuyou's situation."
He Yunxiao: ?
Why is the antidote suddenly so potent?
He Yunxiao pulled out the same kind of handkerchief as the one he had used and waved it in front of the antidote.
Seeing the girl's exposed skin heaving as she received the antidote, and her fair face visibly flushed, He Yunxiao was absolutely certain that using a handkerchief to deal with the antidote would be 100% effective.
“Miss Li, if you don’t help me find a solution, I’ll put this handkerchief on Meng Qingqian’s table as well.”
Meng Qingqian blushed and gave a strong, deliberate, and arrogant snort, "If you want to let go, then let go. Today, I, Li Qingmeng, will not help Jiang Wuyou."
He Yunxiao was confused.
Why does a handkerchief that works perfectly before suddenly become ineffective when "Meng Qingqian" is mentioned?
Could it be...
Are their relationship so good that they're immune to each other's social stigma?
If threatening Li Qingmeng with Meng Qingqian didn't work, then let's try something else. He Yunxiao really didn't believe it. Did Li Qingmeng really have no one else in the world she cared about?
"Ahem, Miss Li, I have a few more handkerchiefs with the same pattern. If you don't help me and Jiang Wuyou, I'll make two more copies of these two handkerchiefs. One copy will be given to the Empress Dowager, an elder of the Li family, and the other copy will be given to Li Jin, a younger member of the Li family."
He Yunxiao's words were like a bolt from the blue for Meng Qingqian.
In front of her mother and Li Jin, she always maintained the image of a "fierce queen." If they knew...
Li Xuanzi and Li Jin were different from others to Meng Qingqian. These two were her closest relatives, and they were very close to her. If outsiders knew about the shameful things she had done, she could kill them to silence them, but if these two knew... they would be mentioned day and night, and the rumors would spread throughout the entire Li family of Jiangnan, and even the entire martial arts world...
Meng Qingqian's pretty face flushed red. The horrible sight made her feel as if ants were crawling all over her body.
Her long, slender legs were pressed tightly together, her two small, white hands were clenched into fists and placed on her thighs, her back was still straight, but her head was lowered in shame. Her pearly white teeth bit her lip, and after a long silence, Meng Qingqian whispered, "No..."
He Yunxiao recalled her arrogant demeanor earlier and couldn't help but feel a desire for revenge.
"Speak louder, I can't hear you."
"Don't use the handkerchief..."
Seeing that the voice of the doctor was getting softer and softer, He Yunxiao said again, "Who can hear you if you're speaking so softly?"
Meng Qingqian looked up and glared at He Yunxiao with shame and indignation.
"Your bell is still in my hands, don't push your luck."
Having received the "ultimate version of poison resistance enhancement" and having experienced the excruciating pain of being tormented by Chu Chu's power transfer, He Yunxiao can now completely endure the pain of the Soul Devouring Pill.
"If you're so capable, then ring the bell. Anyway, if Jiang Wuyou's matter isn't resolved, this handkerchief will definitely end up on the Empress Dowager and Li Jin's desk, along with a 'gossip guide' explaining the whole story."
He Yunxiao had assumed that the antidote would be coerced into helping Sister Jiang, but he was wrong. The antidote didn't back down; instead, she bravely resisted.
Meng Qingqian had been threatened with a handkerchief by He Yunxiao time and time again. She couldn't take it anymore. If she didn't teach him a lesson this time, she would never have a chance to stand up to him again.
Meng Qingqian decided to use the bell, and so...
Then, He Yunxiao saw that the girl who had taken the antidote was actually starting to—lightly undress?
He Yunxiao: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Is the antidote going to involve sacrificing one's virtue? That would certainly be very damaging to oneself. One is very restrained.
Unfortunately, He Yunxiao was wrong. After unbuttoning the outer and inner garments at the neck and chest, Meng Qingqian did not continue unbuttoning them. Instead, she pulled out a bell from a spot where no fabric was wasted.
A fragrant bell.
Meng Qingqian took out the cloth that had been stuffed into the bell to prevent it from making a sound, then removed the bell from the red string and held it tightly in her hand.
Her face flushed, she resolutely said, "He Yunxiao, at worst we'll die together."
He Yunxiao awkwardly turned his head away, refusing to look at the antidote. But in reality, his eyes kept unconsciously drifting towards it, even though he had used immense willpower to suppress his desire.
Seeing He Yunxiao turn his head away, not daring to look at her, Meng Qingqian chuckled and said, "Young Master He, why don't you dare look at Qingmeng anymore? Weren't you very smug just now?"
He Yunxiao didn't know how to talk to the girl who had the antidote.
"Ahem, um... Miss Li, have you ever heard of a poem?"
Meng Qingqian was surprised that He Yunxiao was in the mood to recite poetry at this moment, so she frowned and asked, "What poem?"
He Yunxiao said embarrassedly, "Ahem. Eyes like black ink, hair like cicada wings, white snow forever adorning the chest."
Meng Qingqian was also accomplished in poetry and immediately understood the meaning of He Yunxiao's poem. It was quite well written, but why was she saying it now?
Snow white? On her chest?
white……
Meng Qingqian lowered her head.
