Chapter 12 This is the consequence of you provoking me.
Qin Ye?
Yun Si thought she had misheard, but the next moment, an even clearer voice came again: "What did Shen Qian do to make you so happy?"
"..."
This time, it's definitely him.
What's this man doing here?
Yun Si wasn't narcissistic enough to think that Qin Ye would come to pick her up, but where was her own carriage?
"If you're not coming up, walk back yourself."
Qin Ye's impatient voice came again: "If you don't want to go back, that's fine too. The Shen family will definitely be happy to take you in."
What nonsense are you spouting?
To prevent him from saying anything even more outrageous, Yun Si quickly got into the carriage. Before she could even settle in, the driver cracked his whip, and the carriage sped off.
Yun Si lost her balance and was about to crash into the opposite car wall, but the man next to her sat firmly on the ground, unmoved and showing no intention of helping her.
At the crucial moment, she grabbed Qin Ye's sleeve and then used the momentum to hug his thigh.
Qin Ye: "..."
Yun Si: "..."
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Yun Si sat on the ground, her hands and arms, her entire upper body resting on Qin Ye's lap.
It goes without saying how pathetic he must have looked.
She turned her face to the side, refusing to get up, and remained in that position, lying on top of him.
Finally, Qin Ye lifted her up and sat her down beside him.
Qin Ye glanced at her hands and found no bruises or scratches. He pushed her aside, his face still cold and his whole body exuding a terrifying aura that kept strangers at bay.
This low pressure is so intense it's hard to breathe.
This made Yun Si instinctively want to stay away from him.
Wait until he calms down before explaining to him.
Yun Si got up and was about to sit on the other side when Qin Ye grabbed her arm and pulled her close, his voice full of coldness and sarcasm.
"You just told me you loved me this morning and couldn't live without me, and this afternoon you went to see another man. When you came out, you were all smiles. Yun Si, you're full of lies. How can I believe you when you act like this?"
"Qin Ye!"
Yun Si met his dark eyes and felt the pressure on his hand. Her arm ached, and she couldn't help but groan softly, "Let go, it hurts..."
Upon hearing Yun Si's voice, Qin Ye quickly released his grip, but his face remained tense, his gaze fixed on her: "This is the consequence of you provoking me!"
Finally, he asked one last question: "Do you regret it?"
In that last sentence, Yun Si heard a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
Yun Si waited until his anger subsided a little before slowly saying, "I don't regret it."
Qin Ye's expression remained unchanged, but he kept his eyes fixed on her face, not missing any change in her expression.
Yun Si said sincerely, "I admit that part of what I said this morning was intentionally meant for Lin Shuyan to hear. Of course, I saw you too, but I'm not lying. Right now... I really can't live without you."
"As for Shen Qian, why don't you think about it? I already know that he framed the Marquis's mansion, so how could I possibly go to see him sincerely?"
"When I came out, you said I looked smug and triumphant, well, I guess that's true..."
Yun Si finished explaining in one breath, and Qin Ye listened quietly until he heard the last sentence, at which point he turned to look at her.
"That's because I set a trap for Shen Qian."
Just then, the carriage arrived at the Prince's Palace.
Qin Ye got off the carriage first, then turned around and reached out to help her.
A smile appeared in Yun Si's eyes.
Look.
That's the advantage of having a mouth.
As long as it's not an insurmountable problem, it can be easily solved.
"Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Yun Si tilted her head to look at him, her face charming: "I'm hungry."
Qin Ye simply grunted in response before turning and entering the mansion, leaving her with a cold and indifferent back view.
If you agree, that's fine.
Yun Si watched his retreating figure, her smile undiminished.
Only after Qin Ye's figure had completely disappeared from her sight did she begin to walk towards Qiwu Garden.
I went back to wash up, changed into a nice dress, and still carried a pot of wine, just in case…
Drinking a little alcohol can also embolden you.
When she arrived, Qin Ye was already waiting at the dining table.
Tonight's dinner was exceptionally lavish.
All the dishes were to her liking.
De Cai, the eunuch, stood at the door to serve, while Granny Qian lingered a short distance away for a moment.
Yun Si could sense that Granny Qian's gaze seemed a bit calmer tonight.
"Your Highness, you've arrived. His Highness is waiting for you. Please come in."
De Cai's father-in-law was very respectful and polite to her.
However, it seems that De Cai's father-in-law has always been like this, and he has never shown any disgust or dislike towards her before.
"Thank you for your trouble, sir."
Yun Si stepped inside, and Qin Ye's gaze immediately fell on her.
She wasn't bad-looking; on the contrary, she was extremely beautiful.
Moreover, she belongs to the charming and alluring type.
She looks very thin, but all her fat is in the right places: a slim waist, a perky bottom, and long legs.
She had even carefully done her makeup tonight, and the glint in Qin Ye's eyes was enough to prove that she was quite capable.
"Your Highness, would you like a drink?"
"Let's get down to business first."
Qin Ye picked up his chopsticks with his well-defined fingers and served food into her bowl, his voice low and casual: "Let's talk while we eat."
Come to think of it, he used to be quite aloof. He could do a lot for her, but he would never say anything nice, let alone tell her about what he had done for her.
Of course, this may be because her attitude towards him was bad at the beginning, which led to his later reluctance to express himself.
"Qin Ye."
Yun Si picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the food he had put on her plate, and said sincerely, "Delicious."
Qin Ye paused slightly as he picked up some food with his chopsticks.
Yun Si knew that Qin Ye was thinking about the last time he served her food.
That was also the first time he served her food.
It was the day after their wedding.
Yun Si smashed the bowls and chopsticks, her eyes filled with hatred and disgust as she looked at him, and said fiercely, "Who told you to put food on my plate? Don't you know I find the things you touched dirty?"
They never ate together again after that.
She was really going too far back then.
"Eat more if it's delicious."
After Qin Ye finished serving her some food, he put down his chopsticks and slowly said, "You just said you dug a pit for Shen Qian. Do you need to set up a plan?"
Yun Si swallowed the food in her mouth before nodding and replying, "Yes, I need it."
No wonder he was the biggest winner in his past life.
That's a brilliant mind; the reaction time is incredibly fast.
Except when I'm jealous.
"I know you have many capable people around you. I want you to help me surround the Marquis's mansion, to do it secretly, preferably without it being visible in the open."
"Can."
"Also, I overheard Shen Qian saying that he received information that my father has something important that might be detrimental to him and the mysterious person behind him. I want to write a letter to my father. Could you arrange for a reliable person to personally deliver it to my father and then retrieve his reply?"
"Just write the letter and give it to me."
Qin Ye agreed readily and decisively, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
For the first time, Yun Si experienced the thrill of colluding and working with Qin Ye.
"That's all that needs to be done right now."
"good."
Qin Ye nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Last time you said that keeping an eye on the Dali Temple and the patrol camp might help us find out the identity of the mysterious person. I sent people to keep an eye on them, and indeed someone gave them a tip that Shen Qian might have gone to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, which was sealed off."
Who is it?
"The eldest daughter of the Shen family."
ah?
This answer surprised Yun Si greatly.
Shen Yu, the eldest daughter of the Shen family and Shen Qian's younger sister.
In Yun Si's memory, Shen Yu was just a willful and capricious young lady. Moreover, she had been engaged to Prince Qin Huai (the second prince). At that time, she made a big scene, saying that Prince Qin Huai was weak and incompetent and did not receive the emperor's favor. She would rather die than marry him.
Later, the engagement was called off.
Almost everyone knows that the person she has always wanted to marry is Prince Qin Su (the eldest prince), and the person the Shen family has always supported is also Prince Qin Su.
Unfortunately, the Prince of Jin already had a principal wife, and she did not want to be a concubine, so she remained unmarried until now, at the age of eighteen.
How could she have known that Shen Qian might be trapped in the Marquis's mansion, and that she had secretly gone to inform the Dali Temple?
There are two suspicious points.
Qin Ye calmly analyzed: "First, if Shen Qian had told Shen Yu before going to the Marquis's residence, then Shen Yu wouldn't have waited so long for Shen Qian to be trapped before reminding the Dali Temple. Second, if her source of information was Shen Qian himself, she could have openly told the Dali Temple, so why would she need to remind him secretly?"
Yun Si picked up the thread and concluded, "Therefore, the information about Shen Yu must have come from somewhere else."
Qin Ye glanced at her, tacitly agreeing with her conclusion.
"It wasn't a complete loss."
Yun Si smiled. They had finished discussing the important matters, and she was half full, so she could have a couple of drinks.
She picked up the wine pot and poured a full glass of wine for herself and Qin Ye.
“Celebrate us.”
Yun Si first picked up her glass and gently clinked it against Qin Ye's: "A broken mirror can be mended."
After saying that, he put it to his lips and took a small sip.
It's spicy and unpleasant to drink.
But soon, she felt a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth, with a hint of sweetness.
No wonder.
Qin Ye loved drinking so much in his previous life.
At that time, she would often quietly stay by his side and watch him drink.
One cup after another, one pot after another.
She was very curious at the time: Is wine really that good?
I've finally tasted it now; it's not good, but it's not bad either.
Qin Ye stared at her for a long time. When he heard the phrase "broken mirror mended," he seemed somewhat dazed and repeated in a low voice, "broken mirror mended?"
There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
However, he still picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.
"Don't drink so fast."
Seeing that he had finished his drink in one gulp, Yun Si quickly put some food on his plate: "Eat something first, then we can drink slowly."
Why drink alcohol?
Qin Ye put down his wine glass and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Yun Si pursed her lips.
After hesitating for a moment, she simply picked up the wine and took another big gulp, which made her tears flow from the spiciness.
Qin Ye frowned deeply and snatched the wine glass from her hand.
"If you can't drink it, then don't drink it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Si had already stood up and walked towards him, looking at him with alluring eyes: "Your Highness, there is something we should have done a long time ago."
