Chaos of Ming 1628

Sun Qing wanted to explain, but he was at a loss for words.

How can one explain a man and a woman meeting alone at night?

Yang Qingqing, however, smiled calmly and slightly raised her eyebrows: "Miss Shen wants to know?"

"Hmm!" Shen Junru nodded, her sword hanging at her waist, looking neat and efficient. "Mainly because I don't like you!"

"I want to know, what's so interesting about him meeting with the eunuch faction?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled charmingly: "Miss Shen, that's a very interesting question. Since we've met, there are naturally many things we can do together."

As she spoke, she looked at Sun Qing, her smile bright and captivating, and drawled out, "These are things that only he and I can do."

"So, Miss Shen, isn't it inappropriate for you to be here right now? Shouldn't you leave?"

Sun Qing was utterly shocked by such a bold statement, and even her breathing became heavier: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh?" Yang Qingqing's tone rose. "Young Master Sun did it, but dares not admit it?"

"What did you do?" Shen Junru asked, her face full of curiosity.

Seemingly realizing something, he suddenly became furious, grabbed Sun Qing's clothes, and whispered a warning in his ear: "That's a core figure in the eunuch faction. Don't forget, you're now surnamed Sun."

"Oh dear, it's a misunderstanding!" Sun Qing said, both amused and exasperated.

Such things were simply too difficult for Shen Junru's simple-minded mind to comprehend.

"Then tell me!" Shen Junru was getting impatient when she saw that Sun Qing wouldn't speak, and immediately questioned Yang Qingqing.

Yang Qingqing met her bright eyes and looked at Sun Qing meaningfully.

Sun Qing felt a chill run down his spine from that look, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. Sure enough, this woman was definitely up to no good.

She said gently, "What can we do? Naturally, our lips will gently touch together."

A surge of heat instantly spread throughout Sun Qing's body, finally converging at the tips of his ears, making them red and burning.

"Ah!" Shen Junru cried out.

"Sister," Yang Qingqing's voice was gentle, "now that you know, why don't you leave?"

"Hmph! I thought it was something special!"

Shen Junru chuckled nonchalantly, walked up to Sun Qing, and reached out to pinch Sun Qing's chin.

He let out a soft snort and laughed nonchalantly, "Sun Qing, I thought it was something special? Whatever those eunuch women have, I want too!"

After saying that, he suddenly grabbed Sun Qing's chin, stood on tiptoe, and placed his lips on Sun Qing's lips.

The soft touch made Sun Qing's mind go blank.

Just as I was about to savor it, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my lips.

Shen Junru then released her, a smug smile on her face. She boasted to Yang Qingqing, "So what if you just got a kiss?"

"Look, I even bit him!"

"What? You dare?"

The air seemed to freeze in awkward silence.

Sun Qing stood there, stunned, unable to utter a word for a long time. Having lived two lives, why did he feel like he'd been bullied by this little girl?

Yang Qingqing was also dumbfounded.

What are they doing?

Her grandfather instructed her to firmly bind Sun Qing's heart and soul, originally believing that this man would soon be under her control. After all, the woman beside her was just a young girl.

But her actions made Yang Qingqing want to curse her: "Shameless!"

It's simply... simply...

Yang Qingqing found it difficult to calm her emotions at that moment.

He was truly at a loss when faced with Shen Junru. You said you wanted to have a showdown, but did you really intend to bite Sun Qing again?

The kiss before was a romantic misunderstanding. So what is it now?

Are the courtesans vying for the emperor's favor?

Yang Qingqing clenched her fists and then loosened them, only to clench them again the instant she loosened them. Her heart was filled with a thousand internal struggles.

What she wanted was absolute charm, the ability to manipulate men at will. Not the kind of thing she would do to compete with others.

Shen Junru, that brainless woman, completely disrupted her plans.

After holding it in for a long time, Yang Qingqing only managed to utter one sentence: "Shen Junru, don't you have any shame?"

"Face?" Shen Junru chuckled, finding the woman in front of her incredibly stupid. She reached out and pinched her own cheek. "Isn't it right here?"

Shen Junru was completely devastated, and her breathing became much heavier.

At this moment, Sun Qing finally realized what was happening. He had never been able to resist Yang Qingqing's face, and if she really wanted to use her beauty to seduce him, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, this clueless girl managed to handle it.

"Miss Yang," Sun Qing said, his emotions having calmed down, "what brings you here today?"

Yang Qingqing's lips twitched, her heart filled with anger. She suppressed it, managing only a barely calm reply: "Nothing, I just came to see you, young master!"

Even though she caught a glimpse of Shen Junru out of the corner of her eye, Yang Qingqing felt an extreme headache. She quickly rubbed her temples and said, "Young Master Sun, I'm so sorry."

"I'm really having a headache right now, so I'll take my leave."

How can I not have a headache?

Sun Qing found it amusing but didn't expose her, saying politely, "In that case, Miss Yang, you'll have to take your time on your way back."

"Hmm!" Yang Qingqing was furious and didn't bother with any polite words. She turned and left.

Shen Junru, gripping the door crack, shouted outside, "Goodbye!"

"It's best not to come!"

The snow was falling rather heavily, so Sun Qing stepped forward and pulled Shen Junru back, closing the door behind him.

The two were standing very close. Sun Qing stared at her, then pointed to his bitten lip on the back: "Tell me, what should we do?"

"Don't be so stingy!" Shen Junru waved her hand: "What the eunuch faction can have, I naturally must have too. I can't be at a disadvantage."

"I mean, you're not allowed to treat anyone other than me like that anymore, understand?" Sun Qing emphasized.

He no longer expected Shen Junru to understand the meaning behind it.

After all, he grew up in a military camp from a young age, without any women around to educate him, and he refused to study. Apart from his martial arts skills, he was truly ignorant.

Shen Junru protested, "I won't..."

"what!"

Before she could finish shouting, she let out a scream as Sun Qing bent down and bit her lip hard.

When she loosened her grip again, a look of fear appeared in Shen Junru's eyes.

Sun Qing said sternly, "Listen carefully, if you ever have such thoughts again, I'll bite you, and I'll bite you harder than I did today."

So that's how painful it is to bite someone! Shen Junru understood. Sun Qing didn't want to get close to the eunuch faction; he must have hated that woman in the eunuch faction so much that he bit her.

Shen Junru nodded emphatically, her voice trembling: "I've remembered."

"I promise I'll be good and won't bite me."

Sun Qing felt bitter. It seemed that he had no choice but to keep this girl by his side and keep an eye on her.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The heavy snow fell overnight, and the outside world was already covered in a blanket of white.

Sun Qing sat by the window, with charcoal burning in the room, but her hands and feet were still icy cold.

One can only imagine how they would survive in the freezing cold outside.

"Young Master," a soft voice called from outside the door. Song Xian hurried in and pushed the door open.

He hurriedly stood by the stove, rubbing his hands together to warm them before taking out a letter from his bosom: "News from the capital."

"In this awful weather, two of the horsemen froze to death, but at least the letter has finally arrived."

"This is information that the Grand Coordinator specially asked someone to find out for you, take a look."

The envelope contained only one word: "Urgent!"

Open the letter and unfold it slowly.

Inside was a letter sent by Sun Chengzong's disciples in the capital.

The memorial stated: "Cui Chengxiu committed suicide and surrendered to the emperor, but the emperor has not let this matter rest. He is determined to thoroughly investigate the evil deeds committed by Cui Chengxiu."

All the officials in the court knew that the downfall of the eunuch faction was a foregone conclusion. The eunuch faction had been oppressing officials for many years, and their pent-up resentment finally erupted.

People in many places have denounced the disgusting behavior of the eunuch faction's henchmen, and even public opinion has turned in favor of punishing the eunuch traitor.

The situation in the capital is constantly changing, and the political landscape is also in flux. We must seize this opportune moment to fulfill the Grand Secretary's instructions.
