The only thing she could use to comfort herself was the identity of "Li Qingmeng".
Fortunately, it's just "Li Qingmeng" for now...
"Mengbao, please listen to me..."
"I won't listen!"
Left with no other choice, He Yunxiao steeled himself and, in front of Li Qingmeng, began to drink from the bottles and jars he had just taken out.
"What are you doing?" Meng Qingqian asked, puzzled by his strange behavior.
"Drink poison."
Meng Qingqian: ?
"This bottle contains Seven-Step Powder; drinking it will cause your meridians to rupture and you to die within fifteen minutes. This bottle contains Golden Toad Poison; it can leave your stomach riddled with holes..."
Meng Qingqian stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
"Mengbao, let me hear you first..."
Meng Qingqian stomped her foot in anger, "You bastard! What else did you say! You only drank it to 'detoxify' yourself! Fine, fine, you win! Now come with me to detoxify!"
...
[Li Qingmeng's favorability rating has reached 100.]
...
"Hehe." He Yunxiao chuckled foolishly.
Meng Qingqian leaned against him and said irritably, "You got your way again, aren't you happy?"
"I knew Mengbao wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die."
"snort."
"Hehe. Mengbao, I like you the most."
Meng Qingqian suppressed a smile. "Liar, I think you like Jiang Wuyou the most. Stop trying to fool me with those lies. From now on, we'll only have a cooperative relationship. I'll help you detoxify, and you'll help me detoxify, that's it."
"Mengbao, don't be angry. No matter what happens between Jiang Wuyou and me, we haven't gone that far. Mengbao is still the best, the sweetest, and the cutest."
"Hmph." Meng Qingqian pouted and remained silent in a huff.
“Mengbao, bring that egret into the palace. It’s lightweight, so if it gets poisoned, the symptoms should appear faster than yours. This way, we can prevent it from getting poisoned. Tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony. I’ll stay outside the palace the whole time. If you need anything, just have Red Whistle call me.”
Meng Qingqian remained silent, but shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning against He Yunxiao's chest.
Despite what He Yunxiao said, he still planned to go to the palace tomorrow, as he was not at ease just having someone guard him outside the palace.
Meng Bao might be Meng Qingqian, but she has always denied it. Although he didn't know Meng Bao's motive for denying it, in order to deceive her and facilitate tomorrow's operation, He Yunxiao deliberately said, "Meng Bao, your safety is the top priority tomorrow. If the Yan Emperor has other methods, don't be foolish enough to use Meng Qingqian as a shield, understand?"
Meng Qingqian said, "The Eldest Princess is the pillar of the Qi Kingdom; she cannot be harmed..."
He Yunxiao said, "You're right, but protecting Meng Qingqian isn't your responsibility. It's the responsibility of the Imperial Guards, the sword-wielding guards, and the palace's top masters. You're just a weak woman with no strength, so don't get involved. If something happens, hide and have Hongshao report it. I'll go to the palace to rescue you as soon as possible."
And South Pearl.
He Yunxiao quietly added a sentence. However, he didn't dare mention Nan Zhu to avoid upsetting Meng Bao. Jiang Wuyou alone was enough to make Meng Bao extremely jealous. Adding Nan Zhu would definitely cause Meng Bao's jealousy to explode.
"Hmm." Meng Qingqian listened to her lover's caring words and his statement about storming the palace. Although she had just been angry and said "I will never believe it again," she now believed him without a doubt.
When in love, even the smartest princess can act like a silly girl.
