Chapter 47: If You Want Me to Accept It, Then Accept It

Zhixing bit her lips tightly, saying nothing, watching her leaving back with eyes full of hatred. She formed seals with both hands, pointed at her with one hand, and chanted a spell.

"Cough..." She coughed out of exhaustion, and there seemed to be a fishy and sweet smell in her throat.

Lu Changxuan had consumed too much of her energy during the day, so she needed to have a good rest.

The Palace, afternoon.

Between the elegant and gorgeous pavilions and waterside terraces, Sheng Yunqing, with her makeup light and elegant, looked like a lotus emerging from the water. She was wearing a blue embroidered waist-length skirt and walked gracefully. When she saw the empress dowager sitting in the pavilion, she knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, empress dowager."

The Queen Mother snorted in annoyance and said, "You little bastard, you made me wait for so long in vain. It's really outrageous."

Sheng Yunqing raised his beautiful eyebrows, looked at the clepsydra beside him, and said with a smile: "Yunqing came at the time summoned by the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager misses Yunqing, she can summon him earlier."

The Queen Mother choked up and frowned, "Who would miss you? You are just being sentimental."

Sheng Yunqing smiled secretly. The mother and son both had the same stubborn personality.

The Queen Mother looked up at her, and her delicate brows looked somewhat like her mother's.

When the Marquis' Mansion was still prosperous, Sheng Yunqing's mother, Xia, got along very well with her, so she was more fond of Bai Jinxiu at that time.

Now that Xia is dead, the former Marquisate has also disappeared, leaving only this one child, how pitiful...

She turned her face away and winked at the maid beside her.

The maid opened the brocade box on the table, revealing a set of platinum jewelry inlaid with white jade and gemstones. Upon closer inspection, there were actually ten pieces, all of which were very exquisitely crafted.

Sheng Yunqing's eyes lit up and he secretly marveled at the beauty of this set of jewelry.

"I accidentally made an extra set of jewelry. I don't have a daughter, so after thinking it over, I decided to let you have it at a discount."

Sheng Yunqing raised his eyebrows: "Accidentally?"

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Just accept it if I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Sheng Yunqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother cleared her throat and said, "I asked you to come here this time because of something important."

"Her Majesty, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and waved to the maid, "Everyone go down."

"Yes."

After dismissing the servants, the Queen Mother sighed softly, pointed to her forehead with her hand, and said with a worried look, "Tell me, is it my fault that I delayed your wedding date?"

Sheng Yunqing sat obediently beside the Queen Mother, with a pleasing smile on her delicate face, and said, "The Queen Mother wants Xu Yunqing to get married, and can't wait for Yunqing to call you mother?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, shook her head gently, and sighed softly.

Sheng Yunqing frowned in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"

"Recently, the Crown Prince has come of age and is of marriageable age. I and the Emperor are selecting a Crown Princess for him. Unexpectedly, he just told me that he wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Sheng family..."

Sheng Yunqing's face changed, and he suddenly clenched his fists and said, "Queen Dowager, Yunqing has been betrothed to Prince Ye."

What a joke! She doesn't want to marry that cruel man!

However, she and Ye Jingnian had never met before, and there must be some conspiracy behind Ye Jingnian's plan to marry her. The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "You don't know, the Crown Prince is a playboy, and he has always wanted something. The Emperor likes to spoil him, and you and Prince Ye haven't even started dating yet. If he wants to get there first, the Emperor may order you to remarry."

Sheng Yunqing's breath suddenly choked. She raised her hand and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand, frowning and saying coquettishly, "Queen Mother, Yunqing doesn't want to marry the prince."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I have already suppressed this matter and told the Emperor not to allow it. This is just to avoid you being in the spotlight. Your marriage with Prince Ye will have to wait a little longer."

Sheng Yunqing nodded and said, "Yunqing understands."

"No, I haven't agreed to your marriage with Chen'er yet, huh."

"Yes, yes, as long as I don't marry the prince, Yunqing will agree to your marriage with Prince Ye anytime." Sheng Yunqing pouted and acted coquettishly towards her.

At the Prince's Mansion, Zhi Xing stepped into the house, bowed to Ye Jingnian who was reviewing memorials, and said, "Your Highness, what do you want to see Zhi Xing for?"

Ye Jingnian closed the memorial, looked at Zhi Xing's face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Just now the bell rang and she said she had a headache."

Zhi Xing glanced at the pitiful Ling Xiang behind Ye Jingnian, bit her lip secretly, exhaled lightly, and said, "Ling Xiang has a headache, what does it have to do with Zhi Xing?"

"The doctor said I'm not sick. You're the only one in the whole mansion who has this ability. You must have cursed me!" Ling Xiang glared at her angrily.

Ye Jingnian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Zhi Xing, is this true?"

Zhi Xing swallowed, lowered her head and knelt down, no longer arguing: "I will let Your Highness deal with it."

Ling Xiang looked at her lying on the ground with a mocking smile. She thought that she would not dare to lie in front of His Highness. He hoped that His Highness would skin her alive!
She sniffed and sobbed, "Your Highness, look at her. She curses the people around you so openly. What is her intention?"

Ye Jingnian raised the corner of his lips, slowly stood up, and suddenly raised his hand to pinch Ling Xiang's neck.

Ling Xiang's pupils shrank, and she struggled desperately in fear: "Your Highness..."

Zhixing raised her eyes, with a hint of surprise in them.

Ling Xiang's feet gradually left the ground, her eyes rolled back, and until her bones made a sound, she died completely.

Ye Jingnian threw her to the ground with disdain as if she were a dirty piece of clothing, walked in front of Zhi Xing, and stretched out his hand to her: "Now that we have dealt with you, are you satisfied?"

Zhixing looked up at Ye Jingnian and reached out her hand tremblingly.

Ye Jingnian pulled her up and placed her against the desk. He raised his hand and gently brushed away the loose hair on her forehead. A smile flashed through his delicate phoenix eyes as he said, "I will take care of the person you don't like for you."

Zhixing swallowed and didn't dare to speak.

Ye Jingnian put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "As long as you work for me, I can discard anyone, but you have to do good things for me, okay?"

The hand on her waist gently kneaded it, and Zhixing blushed, lowering her head and said, "Yes."

In the afternoon, Sheng Yunqing woke up from his bed with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

She raised her hand to calm herself down, feeling anxious and uneasy.

Just now in her dream, she saw evil spirits rising from the sky above Prince Ye’s Mansion, and resentful ghosts from all directions gathered. The leading resentful ghost possessed Ye Jinchen, and after killing everyone in Prince Ye’s Mansion, he slashed his own neck with a knife.

He fell straight into the blood amber, and Prince Ye's Palace was shrouded in a bloody storm.

"You're so good, Zhixing! You want to hurt people again!" Sheng Yunqing said angrily, gritting his teeth.

She frowned and considered it for a while, raised her hand and counted on her fingers, her heart skipped a beat: "Not good!"
