Chapter 235 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 4

Li Mo came with Qingyu, and his gaze followed her subconsciously from the moment she appeared.

However, facing the real person at this moment, he could not tell the truth, so he bowed respectfully and made up an excuse, "I heard that the scenery here is very beautiful, so I specially brought Brother Sanye to admire it."

San Ye came out to accompany them, and also cupped her hands in greeting, but her eyes secretly sized up Qing Yu and Rong Jin Nian, sensing that something was going on.

Moreover, for some reason, he felt that this princess was unusual, but he was a rough man and didn't understand anything about romance and poetry, so he only had doubts in his mind for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu smiled and said, "I see. The night view of this garden is indeed enchanting."

So captivating that the couple almost confessed their feelings to each other.

Rong Jinnian had regained some composure by this time, wondering if only Qingyu had witnessed what had just happened, or if the other two had also seen it...

His eyes were dark, and he nodded as if in agreement, "In that case, let's all enjoy the scenery together."

Upon hearing this, the others reacted differently. Qingyu initially wanted to refuse, but remembering her doubts about them, she boldly agreed.

"Let's take a walk together then."

When the princess speaks, no one dares to disobey.

So the group strolled along the path, the atmosphere becoming slightly awkward.

The royal gardens of the palace are unlike ordinary gardens; their scenery and flowers are countless and breathtaking.

When the group reached a certain spot, Mitsuha suddenly pointed to a night-blooming jasmine flower, somewhat surprised, "There are actually night-blooming jasmine flowers here... I've heard that this flower is quite peculiar, blooming only at night, like stars fallen to earth."

His tone was sincere; he was genuinely moved by it.

Qingyu also recognized this flower. In the previous worlds, she would occasionally grow flowers and take baths with flower petals every day, so she knew about the various characteristics of different types of flowers.

"General, you have a good eye." Qingyu praised casually, wearing a light gauze hat, and leaned slightly forward, her jade-like fingers lightly touching the delicate petals.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the veiled hat to flutter, adding to the hazy beauty.

Everyone was stunned by the scene, their hearts racing, and they became increasingly curious about the face beneath Qingyu's veil.

The group then gradually shifted the topic to flowers.

Rong Jinnian, however, was distracted and kept stealing glances at Qingyu.

The sachet that Shao Mingyu gave him felt as hot as burning coals. He secretly hid it in his sleeve, but didn't know what to do with it.

Li Mo seemed to sense something and frowned secretly. He didn't know Rong Jinnian's temperament, but judging from the latter's behavior at the banquet, it wasn't hard to guess that this person's target was Qingyu.

Ugh, I'm a little annoyed.

Moreover, he subconsciously worried that Rong Jinnian might do something inappropriate that would anger Qingyu, and he was also worried that this person would try to curry favor with him. Therefore, he kept a close eye on the conversation and distance between the group.

Except for Mitsuha, who was completely absorbed in admiring the flowers and kept telling various flower stories.

Just then, a nightingale took flight. Qingyu looked up and suddenly had an idea.

She pretended to be startled and approached Mitsuha, saying softly, "General Mitsuha, this princess is a little scared. Please protect me."

She leaned a little too close, and San Ye, flattered and overwhelmed, felt his nose filled with a sweet fragrance that made him dizzy and disoriented. He instinctively and hastily agreed.

Rong Jinnian watched this scene, his face growing increasingly gloomy, yet he was helpless.

Seeing this, Qingyu knew in her heart that this damned man was indeed after her.

Tsk, what grudge could there be? Judging from her intense dislike for the other party, Rong Jinnian must have done something outrageous that angered both heaven and man!

Could it be that she's love-struck and intentionally feeds herself to the enemy?

Qingyu was rather absent-minded and eventually lost interest in appreciating the flowers. She casually made up an excuse and leisurely returned to her palace.

Meanwhile, palace servants had already gone to report to the Emperor, who had always doted on her and would naturally not blame her.

After the banquet, rumors began to circulate that Rong Jinnian was in love with the princess.

When Qingyu first heard this, she was somewhat annoyed.

At that moment, she was sitting by the pond in the garden feeding the fish. A gentle breeze was blowing, and as she sat by the railing, she heard the fish food in her hand fall into the water, causing the fish to scramble for it.

Qingyu frowned, her jade-like face filled with disgust. She vaguely understood that Rong Jinnian must have deliberately spread these rumors, probably to force her to submit.

It was just really disgusting.

Just then, the eunuch beside Emperor Chen rushed over. Upon seeing the beauty before him, the eunuch dared not look at her for long and whispered, "Your Highness, the Emperor requests your presence. Please move aside."

Qingyu's eyes flickered, and she raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did Father say anything?"

Her voice was clear and cool, yet so pleasant that it made one's heart flutter. The eunuch quickly replied, "It's nothing serious, Princess, there's no need to be afraid."

Since that's the case, Qingyu didn't say anything more. She gracefully got up, straightened her clothes, and followed her maid and the eunuch all the way to the Imperial Study.

It is worth mentioning that, seemingly in order to protect Qingyu, Emperor Chen would always remove most of the palace staff whenever he met with people, and even concubines were not allowed to enter.

This has led to Qingyu's reputation becoming increasingly mysterious.

The Imperial Study was quiet. As soon as Qingyu entered, she saw Emperor Chen sitting behind his desk with a serious expression.

His expression softened a bit when he saw Qingyu come in.

"Yu'er, I've heard those rumors. What are your thoughts?" Emperor Chen asked.

Qingyu guessed that Emperor Chen was after this matter. Since she was favored, she didn't need to hold back in her speech. She immediately bowed, her beautiful face full of anger. "Father, I don't want to have anything to do with Rong Jinnian. This rumor must be his doing."

Emperor Chen nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully, "I had guessed that would be the case. I originally intended to keep him as your consort, but I didn't expect..."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Emperor Chen's eyes as he continued, "Don't worry, Yu'er, I have already ordered an investigation into this matter. If he did it intentionally, I will not let him off lightly."

He had few children in his life, but this daughter seemed to be a gift from the gods, and he was determined to protect her!

If he didn't want someone to take care of his daughter, he wouldn't let those sleazy men get close to his precious princess!

Qingyu thanked Emperor Chen and was about to take her leave when she suddenly remembered something. "Father, I think Li Mo and Sanye might be able to help us."

The main reason is that she is certain that Mitsuha is the same person. Now that she is isolated and helpless, she might as well get some help in advance.

This was the first time Emperor Chen had heard Qingyu mention others on her own initiative. Surprised, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since you say so, then I will assign them some tasks to do, so as to see if they are capable."

We need to investigate further.

"By the way, if you want to go out and have fun in the next few days, bring your guards with you."

Emperor Chen's sudden reminder aroused Qingyu's confusion. She blinked, her bright eyes filled with incomprehension, "How did Father know I would go out?"

Emperor Chen smiled, then said with a touch of emotion, "Yu'er, I used to always restrain you, but now you can go if you want."

Don't be unhappy like in your dream...

Qingyu was puzzled, but Emperor Chen's suggestion was good. She thanked him gracefully before leaving the imperial study.
