  Qi Hongwei didn’t understand why the royal princess, who had a conflict with Princess Rong Hua, insisted on seeing her. And it seemed if he didn’t bring Princess Rong Hua to her, she would definitely tear apart the painting.

  Although he felt that there was an eighty-percent chance for him to grab the painting, what if……

  Qi Hongwei agreed to let his people bring Princess Rong Hua over. Ming Shu then rolled up the painting and poked it against the ground again, continuing to eat. “I must remind you, if Princess Rong Hua hasn’t appeared in front of me by the time I finish these, I will tear up the painting. Give me some tea, thank you.”


  “.……” The cards were in his hands, weren’t they? How did the tables turn so quickly?

  Qi Hongwei suddenly thought of something someone told him a long time ago—


  She was that kind of person.

  She seemed not to care about anything, even her life. She looked unprepared and her weakness was totally exposed. Anyone might put her to death.

  But the fact was, in the depths of his heart, he stopped himself from acting rashly.

  Qi Hongwei was very clever. When Ming Shu was going to finish the last piece of dessert and the Princess Rong Hua hadn’t yet been brought out, he ordered another two plates of desserts. Ming Shu just looked at him and didn’t refuse.

  “.……”

  Princess Rong Hua was brought out, her head covered. She was too weak to stand upright and was supported by the guard.

  Qi Hongwei ordered to pull off the black cloth over the head of Princess Rong Hua. The sudden glare made Princess Rong Hua feel uncomfortable for a bit, and tears streamed down her face.

  Princess Rong Hua took a moment to get used to the daylight.

  Before she figured out where she was, Princess Rong Hua saw Ming Shu sitting leisurely opposite her. Princess Rong Hua glared at Ming Shu, but her mouth was stuffed with cloth and she couldn’t speak. She could only make a sound in her throat.

  ”

  ”


  Ming Shu looked up and examined Princess Rong Hua. Except for the slightly dirty clothes, it seemed she hadn’t been abused by anyone.

  Qi Hongwei’s guard whispered something in his ear. He looked to the shore. “Royal Princess, do you mind if we sail?”


  “Have the emperor’s people arrived?” Ming Shu asked.

  “I thought the royal princess was sent by him.” At first he thought like this. But judging from the information he just got, she had come here on her own. The emperor sent people here after he learned that she had come alone, with the painting.

  “I wasn’t sent by anyone.”

  “That means you don’t mind then.” Qi Hongwei waved to sail.

  The ship slowly left the ferry before the royal guards rushed out from several different roads. Princess Rong Hua struggled. ”

  ”


  However, the royal guards just stood by the shore, watching the ship leave the ferry.

  Qi Hongwei looked at Ming Shu. “I have a suggestion, Royal Princess, I don’t know if you are interested?”


  Ming Shu dusted off her hands and placed the painting horizontally over her knees. She lifted her chin and gave a beaming smile. “Even if I’m not interested, will you not say it? Come on, just tell me.”


  ”

  ” Princess Rong Hua, ignored by the two, struggled fiercely. But she was restrained by the guard, and she could only watch the royal guards on shore getting further and further away.

  Qi Hongwei took a look at Princess Rong Hua and said, “The royal family distrusts the Heavenly Temple now. They don’t give you real power. Although you are powerful, there’s no place for you to apply it. You can only stay in the Heavenly Temple all day. As long as you agree, Royal Princess, I will always welcome you and I will ensure you’ll be much more comfortable at my place than at the royal palace.”


  Then he added, “Of course, if the royal princess has any request, just say it.”


  If he could ally with the Heavenly Temple, then why bother acting against it?

  “My request is very simple. How do you say, ‘Let me take your throne’?”


  The onlookers were all stunned.

  Qi Hongwei was not a straw bag. He knew that Ming Shu was rejecting him in a different way.

  “Okay, that being the case, let’s talk about the exchange?” He didn’t expect to successfully ally with the Heavenly Temple, though. The rejection was not surprising to Qi Hongwei.

  “Who said I want to exchange with you?” Ming Shu looked at him with a funny smile. “From the time I appeared to the present, did I say that I’m here to trade for the hostage?”


  “.……”

  Qi Hongwei was almost angered to laughter. He reached out to touch his forehead and took a deep breath. “Royal Princess, if you’re not here to trade for Princess Rong Hua, then what are you here for?”


  “Just to make sure that Princess Rong Hua wasn’t having a happy life here. That will make me relieved.”


  ”

  ” Princess Rong Hua’s beautiful eyes were almost glaring out of her eye sockets, which made her face look a little bit hideous.

  Ming Shu smiled at her. “Lord Qi, if you throw her into the water, I may consider giving you the painting.”


  Qi Hongwei looked at her with a probing gaze, but he didn’t answer immediately. Since her appearing here, he hadn’t figured out what kind of person this little girl was.

  The information he gathered seemed to be incompatible with the person in front of him.

  “Why should I believe you?”


  Ming Shu glided her fingertip across the painting. The river water splashed the side of the boat, the sound of which drowned out her voice slightly. “No matter how you look at it, the emperor has given up on this daughter, and she is useless. It’s not important whether she’s dead or alive. Now that I have the painting, just do what I say, and your chance of getting this painting is greater, right?”


  ”

  ”

  Besides Princess Rong Hua’s painful moaning, no other voices sounded on the ship.

  Ming Shu patiently waited for Qi Hongwei’s decision.

  “Lord Qi, order your people to stand down.” Ming Shu suddenly looked up. She took out a fire roll from her sleeves and placed it at her lips, blowing lightly. Flames came out immediately. The bright flames jumped into the eyes of Qi Hongwei, and this single spark instantly became a sea of fire in his pupils.

  Qi Hongwei was a little startled. He immediately raised his hand to stop the attack. The hovering guards looked at each other before returning to their original positions.

  This royal princess was not as unprepared as she seemed.

  “Guards.” Qi Hongwei’s face blackened. “Do as she says.”


  ”

  ” Princess Rong Hua strongly shook her head.

  Ming Shu tilted her head and waited for the prompt tone of the system. Princess Rong Hua almost cried to unconsciousness; she was carried to the side of the boat. Even when she was about to be pushed over, the tone still didn’t sound.

  [Not enough.] The neutral electronic voice of the Harmony System now sounded, and in passing it proposed some “bad” ideas for Ming Shu. [Guest, you should let people take off all her clothes and then throw her down. That way, the Hatred Points should be enough.]
