The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 75 Falling into the Quagmire
A golden light flashed across Sheng Yunqing's eyes. He stroked the words with his fingertips. The image of the person who wrote the words appeared in his mind. He frowned tightly and said, "It's so amazing that it can be mistaken for the real thing..."

"Be careful! There is a swamp ahead!" The person behind him suddenly screamed in alarm. When Sheng Yunqing was about to take a step, he was supported by the person behind him, turned around, and pushed to the ground.

Sheng Yunqing held his forehead in confusion, and felt a burst of pain from falling to the ground. He said, "Hiss—who is it?"

When he opened his eyes, Bai Qianci was unsteady and his face was filled with fear. He slipped and fell into the swamp. His pure white clothes were stained with mud and became dirty.

"Bai Qianci!" Sheng Yunqing stared at him in disbelief and asked, "Why are you here?"

Bai Qianci frowned with worry on his face and said, "I saw that you were acting strangely after reading the note, so I was worried and followed you."

He sank into the mire and tried to lift his legs to get out, but the swamp had a magical suction force that made him sink again.

"Don't move! The more you struggle, the faster you will sink!" Sheng Yunqing stretched out his hand to stop him.

Bai Qianci lowered his head and struggled hard, but it was in vain. He laughed at himself and said, "I followed you when I came here just now. The terrain of this forest is very complicated. I'm afraid I won't be able to call anyone over in a short while."

Sheng Yunqing turned around and looked around, looking for anything that could be rescued.

Bai Qianci looked at her from behind and smiled, "I'm so glad I came with you. If I had left you alone here, trapped in the swamp, I would have regretted it." He frowned slightly and said, "Who wrote that note? King Ye?"

"Why do you ask?"

Bai Qianci lowered his head and said, "Only King Ye would let you follow him regardless of everything and believe in him. Even if you haven't seen him, even if he asked you to go to this dangerous forest, you would not doubt him at all."

"What do you want to say?"

Bai Qianci clenched his fists and said, "Do you know that Prince Ye has been very close to the Prime Minister and the First Assistant Minister recently? They all have young women in their families, especially the Second Miss Ming who just competed with you. She is the most favored lady in the First Assistant Minister's Mansion. I really have to doubt..."

Sheng Yunqing frowned and asked, "What do you want to doubt?"

"Prince Ye has made an engagement with you, but you must not let down Second Miss Ming. Maybe he... wants you to disappear without anyone noticing so that he can marry Second Miss Ming as his principal wife and win over the Prime Minister's power."

A trace of gloom flashed across Sheng Yunqing's eyes, and he said, "You think too much."

"Yun Qing, I am thinking about you. This matter is really too strange! If not, why did King Ye leave at the beginning, and why did you receive a note later? I didn't see him, so I had to come here alone..."

Sheng Yunqing didn't answer, but picked up a long thick piece of wood and dragged it over, saying, "Hold it, I'll take you out."

"No! The suction of the swamp is very strong. There is a huge weight difference between you and me. I will drag you down!"

Sheng Yunqing rolled his eyes, threw the wood in front of Bai Qianci, and said, "Hold on, it will slow down the sinking. I'll go get some help."

Bai Qianci reached out and grabbed her arm, his eyes filled with reluctance, and said, "Yunqing, stay with me and talk for a while before you go, okay? I'm afraid..." Bai Qianci's eyes dimmed, "The route in the forest is so complicated, I don't know when I can find this place..."

Sheng Yunqing bit her lip and said, "What are you afraid of? I will definitely rescue you!" Bai Qianci chuckled and said, "Yunqing, I'm very happy to see you worrying about me like this."

Sheng Yunqing whispered, "If you have anything to say, finish it quickly and don't waste time."

Bai Qianci looked at her legs which had been completely submerged, and she struggled to hold on to the driftwood to support herself, saying, "Yunqing, it's okay if you don't believe me, but Prince Ye is not a good match for you. I think he will be powerful in the near future, and he will marry more concubines than you can count. How can a proud woman like you compete with those calculating women and fall into decline? If it were me, if... if you were willing, I would only marry you in this life, and I would never have two minds! What a pity... heh..."

Sheng Yunqing looked at him who was sinking deeper and deeper, exhaled softly, and said, "Are you done? Then I'm leaving."

Bai Qianci looked dejected. He looked up at her who had stood up, and had to let go of her hand. He said, "Yun Qing, if something unexpected happened to me, do you really have nothing to say to me?"

Sheng Yunqing looked indifferent and said, "Bai Qianci, I only consider you a friend. You have been in danger for me time and time again, which touched me deeply. But I will not let this touch change my thoughts about you. Please don't have any fruitless fantasies. Your love for me will only cause me trouble."

She looked at him sinking a large part of his body again, frowned and said: "Don't move again, I will definitely find someone to rescue you!"

After she finished speaking, she ran back without looking back.

When she found four or five guards and rushed over, they found that there was no trace of anyone in the swamp.

Her heart was in suspense. She frowned anxiously and walked around shouting, "Bai Qianci? Bai Qianci!"

"Miss, be careful. The swamp here doesn't look very obvious. It's easy to get stuck in the swamp at any time. It's very dangerous to walk around like this. Let your subordinates investigate." A guard said worriedly.

Sheng Yunqing nodded and retreated behind the guards, asking them to carefully probe the swamp ahead with swords.

"Be careful, if Third Young Master Bai is in there, don't hurt him."

"Yes."

After investigating for a while, a shout suddenly came from a distance: "Yun Qing!"

Sheng Yunqing heard a familiar voice, turned his head, and saw Bai Qianci who had been rescued at the source of the sound.

He was covered in dirty mud, and his face had marks of disgrace. He was supported by a hunter and walked over with a weak look on his face.

He panted tiredly and said to Sheng Yunqing: "Yunqing, seeing that you were late, I could only shout for help. It happened that a warrior passed by and rescued me. But now the way you came is different from the way you left, and we almost missed each other."

Sheng Yunqing exhaled lightly and said, "I'm glad you're okay." She bowed to the hunter and said, "Thank you for saving me, brave man."

The hunter said with fear on his face: "Girl, when I saw your husband, he was only left with his head. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you would have cried and died. When your husband saw me, he kept calling your name. You are so lucky to have a husband who loves you so much."
