Chapter 173 Eldest Princess 10
Murong Fu didn't know that his action would cause Xue Yanzhi to misunderstand, but even if he knew, he would not care. Xue Yanzhi was just a chess piece he placed next to Gao Yan, and the thoughts of a chess piece were not important.
Li Qingshu was much more sensitive than Xue Yanzhi. He noticed the abnormality in Murong Fu at a glance. Men understand men best. While he was struggling and indignant, he fell in love with the woman he sneered at.
It is a man's nature to plunder, and Murong Fu as a man is no exception. As long as he finds out and recognizes his own heart, the water of this love will inevitably be muddied.
He would not have taken it seriously before, but when he got out of the pleasure boat and was blown by the cold wind, he realized that he had actually fallen in love with the eldest princess. If that was the case, why didn't he take the initiative?
Tao Yao went back and took a bath and felt much better. Just as she was about to rest, A-Bi suddenly came in to report to her that Li Qingshu came to ask for a meeting and said he had something important to tell her.
She was completely confused. What was Li Qingshu up to? He came to see her in the middle of the night. He had always avoided her like the plague before and wanted to stay away from her.
"Dog System, why did Li Qingshu come to see me?"
The system naturally didn't know either. It shook its head and said, "I don't know. He might be here to test your opinion. Don't forget that he was a spy sent by the original owner's brother to monitor the original owner."
Ever since what happened in the afternoon, the system has lost interest in everything. This damned mission turned its master into a fox spirit's licking dog. Why did this happen? The more it thinks about it, the angrier it gets.
Taoyao saw that it looked listless and thought that it was unhappy because she did not buy it a body.
It's not that she doesn't want to buy a body for the dog system, it's that the dog system is useless. After buying a body, it only knows how to eat. It feeds itself into a big truck and can't stop. Even if you ask it to lose weight, it will whimper and complain.
In several dimensions, she was afraid that this little guy would eat himself to death.
The maid behind her was giving Taoyao a massage. Taoyao squinted her eyes and felt her whole body was sore. It must be so cool to be a princess. There are people to serve you, and you can act domineeringly. No wonder the original owner wanted to be a princess forever.
Being a princess doesn’t mean you have to serve men, but being a woman in the harem means you have to think about how to make a man happy every day. It’s painful to think about it.
"You let him in."
Taoyao sat up and the maid put clothes on her.
As soon as Li Qingshu came in, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the beauty on the couch. Looking at the beauty under the light, with the blessing of the atmosphere, she looked more like an immortal in an ancient painting.
"Qingshu, you came to see me so late, what's the matter?"
Li Qingshu suddenly knelt on the ground, and Tao Yao was startled by him.
"System, is Li Qingshu having a seizure?"
The system spread its hands innocently. "I don't know either. He might have felt guilty and want to confess to you. Or he might have come up with a new trick to harm you."
Li Qingshu thought for a moment, then mustered the courage to speak to Tao Yao, "Your Highness, I've come here today to confess something. I'm the Second Prince's spy. He has ordered me to monitor you and report your every move to him."
Tao Yao was shocked by Li Qingshu's sudden confession. What on earth was Li Qingshu going to do? He actually admitted it like that.
"Dog System, you really guessed it right. Li Qingshu's actions are truly baffling."
Tao Yao looked at Li Qingshu in shock. "Qingshu, what you said is true. Do you know the price of deceiving me? If I find out you've deceived me, you'll definitely be found in those human pig altars in front of the palace."
Li Qingshu kowtowed to Taoyao several times sincerely, and his forehead turned red.
"Your Highness, I dare not lie to you. Besides me, there is another person in this palace who is just like me. I know that I have committed a heinous crime. I do not ask for Your Highness's forgiveness, but I do ask Your Highness not to expel me."
Seeing how sincere he was, Tao Yao almost believed him, but then she changed her mind and realized that Li Qingshu was the Second Prince's man, and the Second Prince was not a pushover either.
Although he was the only prince of the Daye Dynasty, he was frail and sickly and seldom appeared in the court, but he knew almost everything that happened in the court.
After Murong Fu succeeded to the throne, the second prince lived and fought stubbornly for several years, but finally died of illness.
Tao Yao's face darkened. "You said there's another person like you. Who is that person?"
"Qingshu can tell His Highness, but I have a small request, and I hope Your Highness will agree to it."
Although Tao Yao already knew the other person Li Qingshu was talking about, she had to pretend to be ignorant.
"You say, I promise you."
Li Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that His Highness would angrily refuse, but he didn't expect that His Highness actually agreed. Does this mean that His Highness is also reluctant to let him go?
"This man is Xue Yanzhi, the son of the former historian Xue Ping. Xue Yanzhi harbored hatred for Xue Ping's unjust death. He was rescued by General Murong during his exile and later assigned to the palace as a spy for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After hearing his words, Tao Yao became more suspicious of Li Qingshu's intentions. Why did Li Qingshu reveal himself to her? Could this be another trick of the second prince?
"What do you want me to promise you? And how can I believe that you are telling the truth?"
Li Qingshu took out the letter from his sleeve. A Bi took the letter and presented it to Tao Yao with both hands.
"This is a letter from Xue Yanzhi to General Murong. He reports everything about the princess to Murong Fu every day. They also plot in the letter to get rid of Her Highness as soon as possible."
Tao Yao opened the letter and took a look. It was indeed a letter from Xue Yanzhi. The ink on the latest letter was not even dry. Xue Yanzhi's words in the letter were extremely vicious, and he wished he could cut the original owner into pieces.
Tao Yao angrily slammed the letter on the table, "How outrageous."
Seeing that she was angry, Li Qingshu continued to make his own demands.
"Your Highness, these two have wicked ambitions. Murong Fu, in particular, is planning to overthrow Your Majesty and subvert Daye. Keeping such villains will only cause trouble to Your Highness. I am willing to help Your Highness solve his problems."
Tao Yao stared suspiciously at Li Qingshu who was kneeling on the ground. He really had a purpose. She had said that Li Qingshu was a sinister and cunning person. He came out to expose Murong Fu and Xue Yanzhi for his own little calculations. It was impossible that he had a change of heart.
"You want to help me solve my problems, and I want to hear what good ideas you have. If you let me deceive you, you'd better be careful. I think you have seen my tricks before."
Li Qingshu raised his hand to show his resolve and swore to the heavens, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If Qingshu lies to you, I will be struck by lightning and reborn as an animal in my next life."
