Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine Chapter 350 - Leaving the Whole Dead Body

Chapter 350 Leaving the Whole Dead Body

“I don’t know.” Mu Qingyu shook her head. “He has been protecting me for so many years, and he even risked his life to save me in crisis. But I don’t know whether he is really afraid that I will be hurt and wants to treat me well or he just wants to thank me for taking him in when he was homeless after being hurt by the imperial household of East Qin. I don’t know. I really don’t know.”

Mu Qingyu shook her head desperately. She was torn inside. She had already known clearly that she had a thing for Zhuge Qingtian, but she didn’t know whether he was the same. And things turned more complex since such a thing happened at this time.

“I have an idea for you to figure out whether guard Zhuge had a thing for you.” Qin Yunuan smiled, and she had an idea.

“No.” Mu Qingyu shook her head, “Qingtian and I were obviously framed. I was taking a bath at that time, but then I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, Qingtian happened to come in. He said that someone told him that I was looking for him for something urgent. He waited outside for a long time but didn’t see me coming out. He broke in because he was afraid that I would have an accident. Only we two were in the tent. Although It was embarra.s.sing, it wouldn’t be known to all. I guess it was my maid who did that.”

Qin Yunuan recalled that when she came in, she did feel that one of Mu Qingyu’s maids was gone. It was Yun’er.

“Yes, it is Yun’er.” Mu Qingyu seemed to know what Qin Yunuan was thinking about, and then she continued, “It was she who served me when I took a bath, and she also lit the incense. What’s more, she happened to break in after Qingtian came in, pretending to be surprised, screaming to attract everyone.”

“Where is she now?”

“I have sent someone to drive her away. She must work for Shu Fulai and came to avenge the traitor Shu Fulai.” Mu Qingyu was resentful.

“You just drive her away?” Qin Yunuan shook her head, “Your Highness, you are so kind. Such a person’s existence can be a disaster. Sometimes, we must use means in order to achieve the goal.”

Qin Yunuan’s voice seemed to be softer and softer when she spoke, which sounded so visional. Listening to her, Mu Qingyu seemed to be bewitched, and then she lost consciousness, collapsing on the bed.

Qin Yunuan hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and put away the sleeping incense deliberately aiming at Mu Qingyu, which she had just hidden in her sleeves. It seemed that the incense Sun Miaoyang gave her was really useful.

Qin Yunuan looked at Mu Qingyu who was in sleep, shook her head and said, “Your Highness, I hope you can understand that I did it for your own good. Sometimes we can only achieve our goals by means.”

As for Leng Changxi, he was pacing back and forth in the simple prison where Zhuge Qingtian was imprisoned. Leng Changxi walked extremely slowly, and his every step seemed to be thoughtful. Zhuge Qingtian’s hands were tied to the cross. He squinted slightly, seeming to be closing the eyes for rest, while his eyes were fixed on Leng Changxi actually. Only they two were in the prison, and even the air seemed to be cold. Leng Changxi then said to Zhuge Qingtian, “So you still refuse to recognize your ident.i.ty. Your surname should not be Zhuge but the n.o.blest surname in East Qin. Your surname is Zhao, right?”

Zhuge Qingtian still kept his eyes closed calmly and said slightly, “General Leng, I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“I guess that your mother’s surname is Zhuge. Could it be that your mother was just the most favored concubine of the emperor of East Qin, Zhuge…”

“General Leng.” Zhuge Qingtian interrupted Leng Changxi’s guess weakly, “I don’t know why you always want to connect me with East Qin. But I can tell you that I have nothing to do with East Qin. I’m just an ordinary citizen of West Xia, and because of my outstanding martial arts, I was selected to become the personal bodyguard of Her Highness.”

“Because you fell in love with Her Highness since you were together morning and night, you broke into her room on impulse today.”

“I didn’t!” Zhuge Qingtian suddenly opened his eyes, “There is nothing between us. We are innocent. Nothing happened.”

“You must be joking. Everyone knew that you went in when Her Highness was taking a bath. n.o.body will take a bath with clothes on. So since she was naked, how could you say that you were innocent? Are you fooling me?” What Leng Changxi said made Zhuge Qingtian speechless.

Seeing the change of Zhuge Qingtian’s expression, Leng Changxi was very satisfied, “And even if nothing really happened, Her Highness’s reputation has been ruined. Outsiders all think that Her Highness is a s.l.u.t. So I suggest that you admit your ident.i.ty as the descendant of the imperial family of East Qin. The war between East Qin and Qi has ended a long time ago, so you will not be held accountable for your ident.i.ty. In this way, you and Her Highness can become a good match. Then you can marry Her Highness, and then rumors will vanish.”

“It’s just those gossip mongers that make Her Highness so upset.” He had to admit that although what Leng Changxi said made him a little uncomfortable, it made sense.

At this time, Yuanyang came in with a pot of tea. She exchanged glances with Leng Changxi quickly, and Leng Changxi nodded indifferently.

“Her Highness has committed suicide to escape punishment.” Leng Changxi said lightly, which seemed to be a bomb that exploded in Zhuge Qingtian’s heart directly.

“What… are you talking about?” Zhuge Qingtian looked incredulous. Blue veins stood out on his forehead violently. His eyes opened with fury, his blood seemed to be burning, and his heart ached so violently.

Leng Changxi shook his head and sighed, “She is really a brave woman. She values her reputation so much. In order to protect it, she did it without hesitation.”

“Qingyu.” Zhuge Qingtian called her name. He didn’t call her Infanta as before but called her Qingyu intimately this time. His movement of breaking away from the rope became increasingly fierce.

“Okay. Dispose her corpse at will. Just leave her the whole body. Don’t let it be eaten by wild wolves and dogs.” They were comrades-in-arms and friends who once fought together, while Leng Changxi looked extraordinarily calm at this time.

“*sshole!” Zhuge Qingtian’s voice sounded strong and angry, “Her Highness is the first-rank Infanta of West Xia. No matter what, Her Highness should have a grand funeral. How can you just bury her in a casual pit like this? It’s so disrespectful! I’ll report it to His Majesty!”

“Don’t threaten me with His Majesty.” Leng Changxi didn’t care about what he said at all. “A field commander must decide even against king’s orders. Now we are at a war. How can I give Her Highness a grand funeral? What’s more, if you don’t want to marry her, she will always be regarded as a s.l.u.t. If we gave a grand funeral to a s.l.u.t, wouldn’t His Majesty and West Xia be ashamed?”

“Shut up! Don’t say that about her!” Zhuge Qingtian became more and more excited, and the thick hemp rope as thick as his index finger creaked as if it would disconnect at any time.

Leng Changxi didn’t even look back at him. Yuanyang said quickly after seeing it, “General Leng, don’t worry. Madam is going to leave the camp with the corpse of Her Highness. She set off towards the ma.s.s grave on the east.”

Ma.s.s grave? Zhuge Qingtian was anxious. With a sudden force, he broke free from the hemp rope. Leng Changxi seemed to look at him in surprise. Zhuge Qingtian didn’t have time to think about it and ran directly out of the tent.

Yuanyang glanced at the small dart next to her. She saw clearly just now that it was Leng Changxi who broke the rope with a hidden weapon.

A slow-moving team was about to walk out of the gate of the camp with Qin Yunuan, the leader. She looked so upset with her head down, followed by Leng Shuang and a strong man pulling a simple wooden cart. There seemed to be a person lying on it, covered with a layer of rough khaki linen. The scene was similar to that in a poor family of some countryside, where corpses would be wrapped in straw mat and thrown to the field because their families could not afford a funeral.

Qin Yunuan looked back and signaled the team to walk more slowly. Sure enough, after the team walked out of the camp for just a few hundred meters, a shout came from the rear.

“Madam, wait. Please wait.”

Qin Yunuan turned back. Shouldn’t Zhuge Qingtian be imprisoned in the dungeon? How did he escape under Leng Changxi’s very eyes?

“Madam, please let me take a look at Qingyu.” Zhuge Qingtian pleaded bitterly, but he was still stopped by Leng Shuang with a sword a few meters away.

Leng Shuang said coldly, “You didn’t cherish her when she was alive. Now that she is dead now, why you want to take a look at her?”

There was a lump in Zhuge Qingtian’s throat. He just said to Qin Yunuan in an extremely sincere manner, “Madam, we are master and servant. Since she died so suddenly, I have to say my farewell.”

“Master and servant?” Qin Yunuan squinted at Zhuge Qingtian, “Do you know that she wants more than a servant?”

Zhuge Qingtian suddenly lowered his head and whispered, “I know.” He said in such a low voice that it seemed that only he himself could hear what he said.

“You know?” Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows and smiled sarcastically. “You know it, but you’ve been pretending that you don’t know it for four years? She had an engagement with Changxi before, and she almost married into North Di later. Where were you at that time?”

“I’m going to… At that time, I was going to be with the groom’s procession. If she was unwilling, I would take her away.” Zhuge Qingtian said. His eyes turned dim. He was so cowardly that he almost gave away his most beloved girl to others for a few times.

Zhuge Qingtian said and approached slowly. While suddenly, he found that the little finger of the white right hand out of the linen suddenly moved.
