After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 249 You are one of them
Watching Hua Lingyan leave, Shi Nuanyu thoughtfully looked Qinghe up and down.

Something's not right. You're really acting strangely.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, so she circled him three times, trying to see through his thoughts.

Qinghe smiled and let her look him over. "What did Nuannuan notice?"

“I didn’t see anything,” a fist gently pounded his chest. “Qinghe, are you doing something I don’t know?”

She never pried into his private affairs, and he never brought them up on his own initiative, but this time she had a feeling that something was about to happen.
“How come you see?”

Qinghe marveled at her keen perception, raised his hand and placed it on hers, feeling the strong heartbeat emanating from her palm into her heart.

"In Nuan Nuan's eyes, is her husband someone who can hide his true feelings?"

Meeting his calm gaze, Shi Nuanyu sighed silently. If she hadn't read the original book, she would have been fooled by him.

Even those who are cunning and resourceful often meet a bad end.

She wrapped her arms around Qinghe's waist and snuggled against his heart.

"I don't care about anything else," she said, looking directly into his eyes. "Whether it's finding out the cause of the old Grand Tutor's death or avenging the Ji family, it's none of my business."

“I don’t want anything to happen to you, including any of them.”

A relationship that isn't genuinely reciprocated will ultimately end in nothing.

Qinghe hugged his lover tightly, burying his face in her neck to enjoy a moment of comfort.

"I promise Nuannuan."

I promised her I wouldn't take their lives, but some people I had to fight for.

"Nuan Nuan, do you know how many people are eyeing you covetously?"

Shi Nuanyu pinched his waist and twisted it forcefully in an annoyed manner.

"You are one of them."

"Yes, I am one of them."

Qinghe held her fingertips and kissed them. He never denied that he craved her warmth and wanted to possess her completely.

The political situation in the court is currently turbulent, and Shi Nuanyu is too lazy to argue about it. She pulled him to sit at the desk instead.

"I just thought of some solutions, let me hear them."

She shared her thoughts and eagerly awaited the man's suggestion.

Qinghe gently embraced her, saying, "It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. There are many examinees, and they have a hundred or so ways to block our way."

Implementing the imperial examinations for women was already fraught with difficulties, let alone holding them on a large scale.

"To explain in detail, it is indeed fraught with difficulties."

Shi Nuanyu smiled slyly and pinched his ear, "The Imperial Advisor will definitely help me, won't he!"

If even the wisest imperial advisor in the original book cannot solve this problem, then he cannot sit on the throne.

This is one of the benefits of having a smart man in your family.

Qinghe tilted her head so she could hold on tighter, and chuckled softly, "It is my pleasure to relieve Your Highness's worries and troubles."

In the dungeon of the Crown Prince's residence, a thousand miles away in the north, Duan Jiuyun clutched his neck, his eyes bloodshot. Bright red blood flowed down his neck, gradually turning dark red.

Yu Changfeng stared intently at the note he had just received, his eyes dark and unreadable. A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips as he tore the note to shreds.

"So this is what the Grand Preceptor of Nanyue is planning."

He ascended the throne of Dongchen and took a beautiful woman into his arms.

He coldly observed Duan Jiuyun, and the oppressive aura emanating from him decreased.

"What a chilling poison, what a perfect yang body."

The question that had puzzled him for years—why he was chosen to go to Nanyue as a hostage—was finally answered.

It was because of the so-called "ultimate yang body".

If that's the case, then let her see who truly deserves her.

"You died a worthy death."

Blood bubbles rose from Duan Jiuyun's throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

She desperately wanted to refute his words, but couldn't find the words to speak.

The truth back then was this: the Valley of Divine Healers used children as medicinal ingredients in pursuit of immortality, and hundreds and thousands of children lost their lives in the Valley of Divine Healers.

ridiculous.

He went to great lengths to avenge the Valley of Divine Healers, even killing innocent people.

In the end, it turned out to be the fault of the Divine Healer Valley.

He certainly didn't die unjustly.

Duan Jiuyun slowly closed his eyes, his resentment and regret subsiding into calm.

Let him go to hell to repent for all his sins.

Wu Liang entered the dungeon and reported, "Master, the Second Prince went to see Princess Fule today."

Princess Fule has been in Beilin for several days, and the people in the court are all watching the drama unfold, wondering if she will still choose the impotent Crown Prince of Beilin.

Yu Changfeng remained indifferent to the rumors circulating outside, saying, "The Consort Wen's maternal clan has been idle lately, let them have some fun."

He casually tossed the scraps of paper on the ground, "so that his remains would be completely obliterated."

The icy tone horrified Wuliang. His words were a double entendre: did the master want Duan Jiuyun's body to be completely obliterated, or the Second Prince's entire clan? He was once again grateful that he had chosen the Crown Prince without hesitation.

"Whom should the princess choose?"

Two figures were crouching outside the study, using a few blades of grass as cover as they sneaked away from one side.

Zhenbao took out several green-headed tokens from his bosom, eagerly waiting for his princess to choose.

Shi Nuanyu quickly told her to put the green plaque away.

"Quickly, run away with your princess."

He pulled her along and secretly ran towards Haoyue Residence.

She spent the night at Zuijunju, expecting to be deeply in love and blissfully happy, but unexpectedly, Qinghe actually took her to handle court affairs.

It is absolutely outrageous and infuriating.

She couldn't take it anymore, so someone let her go to sleep.

Tonight, I will definitely not rest at Zuijunju.

Unaware of why her princess was doing this, Zhenbao still covered for her with a bright and cheerful expression.

The princess was to spend the night with the painter, and as she ran, Zhenbao pulled out a small notebook from her bosom to write it down.

After finally reaching Haoyue Residence, Shi Nuanyu gasped for breath, grabbed Zhenbao's hand, and looked serious.

“Treasure, I now have a serious task for you.”

She didn't know when Qinghe would return to Zuijun Residence tonight; she needed to keep track of all his movements.

Entrusted with an important task, Zhenbao's chubby little face was full of seriousness.

"I guarantee to complete the task assigned by the princess."

Shi Nuanyu was deeply moved. "I order you to go to Furong Pavilion and pretend to be asleep so that the Imperial Preceptor won't find out."

That way, she could stay peacefully in Haoyue Residence without suffering inhuman torment anymore.

Zhenbao's face froze, her expression contorted with grief, as she tried to awaken her princess's conscience.

"Princess, the treasure..."

Shi Nuanyu interrupted her, "I believe you."

Treasure sniffed, looking as if she were going to her death.

"Treasure obeys."

When the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die; this day will inevitably come.

Watching the treasure depart, Shi Nuanyu excitedly jumped up and down on the spot.

"Haha, finally I can enjoy the joy of freedom."

She ran happily into the house. After returning, she worked day and night, dealing with her ministers, and was so tired that she could hardly breathe. Today, she can finally sleep alone and enjoy her time alone.

"Today is a good day..."

She sprawled onto the bed, rolling around, the hard object under the covers causing her pain.

"What is it?"

He lifted the covers and saw a hairpin inlaid with an ice-blue sapphire. He picked it up curiously and examined it.

"It's really beautiful, but how come it's in Ah Ling's room? Did he prepare it secretly?"

Ah Ling looks blank, but she has quite a few thoughts in her mind.

She walked to the dressing table, sat down, and put on the makeup in front of the mirror. "As expected of me, I'm naturally beautiful."

After playing for a while, he put the precious hairpin back in its original place and wandered around the room listlessly.

I'm used to having people around me, but being alone feels so lonely.

Shi Nuanyu lay on the bed with nothing to do and drifted off to sleep.

As she drifted into a hazy sleep, what voice was calling to her?

"Baby, wake up."

Opening her heavy eyelids, Shi Nuanyu was greeted by a bewitching and beautiful woman. She stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink for a moment.

"Auntie."

With tears welling up in her eyes, she rushed into her arms, saying, "Auntie, I missed you so much."

Shi Shuishui gently stroked her head, feeling tender and comforting the child she had watched grow up.

"Baby dropped a pearl."

Shi Nuanyu stubbornly wiped away her tears, "I'm not a child anymore, Auntie, please don't always treat me like a child."

Mustering my courage, I looked at my aunt, and all my unspoken words boiled down to one sentence.

Is this a dream?

I don't have the courage to ask my aunt why she left with another man and didn't come back to find her.
Why have you ignored her for so many years?
It turns out that the blame ultimately stemmed from reluctance and longing.

Shi Shuishui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed silently, "Baby, do you want to go home?"

"Auntie, what did you say?"

In her dream, three bells rang out, so loudly that she couldn't hear them clearly.
