Her Power and Favor Span the World

Chapter 103

She was too lazy to move. If she woke him up, he would inevitably scold her again. She didn't want to explain anymore.

She closed her eyes, savoring everything in her dream. Even a small ornament in her dream was precious to her.

Why did she have to wake up?

She had read Monkey Brother's data many times before. The drugs did have an effect. Even without looking at the electroencephalogram, just by observing his daily actions, it was clear that he had become much smarter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sneak out and get hit by a car and die.

She suddenly had a crazy idea. After Monkey Brother was hit by the car and died, what if his soul also transferred and coincidentally ended up here too?

Ah, she was really letting her imagination run wild.

This guy's head was really heavy.

She turned her head to look at him closely. She only dared to scrutinize him when he was asleep. It wasn't that she was shy, but rather that he was so narcissistic. If she looked at him a few more times, he would think she had fallen in love with him.

Strictly speaking, he was very good looking.

His features were nearly perfect. If she had to nitpick, it would be that the contours of his face were too hard and cold. Even when a person like this smiled, it still gave people a feeling of coldness.

Especially when he suddenly opened his eyes, the icy glare sweeping over was like a bolt of lightning, just like now...

She was so frightened that she shuddered. "When...when did you wake up?"

Yuwen Hao's eyes were indifferent. "When you were shamelessly looking at me."

"Get up. You're pressing down on my arm and it's gone numb." Yuan Qingling guiltily patted his head.

Yuwen Hao lifted his head to let her pull back her arm. There was only one pillow on this bed and she had taken it, so he could only sleep on his arm.

He was making a fuss over her sleeping on just one of his arms?

"What were you looking at just now?" Yuwen Hao asked.

"I was just seeing how your wound has healed. Don't get the wrong idea." Yuan Qingling quickly denied it.

He didn't misunderstand. When he woke up, he saw her staring at him. That was definitely an investigative look, not a loving gaze.

"Misunderstand what? Everyone in the capital knows you're obsessed with me. Why are you in such a hurry to deny it?"

Yuan Qingling sighed. This really was her original sin.

"How will Marquis Huiding deal with this?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Yuwen Hao had also thought about this problem earlier while looking at Yuan Qingling's sleeping face. He had some thoughts of changing his mind.

"I plan to tell Father that Marquis Huiding privately kidnapped a scholar."

Yuan Qingling was startled. "Why say that? The guards and everyone else knows he kidnapped me, the Prince's Consort of Chu.

Saying he kidnapped a scholar, wasn't that giving Marquis Huiding a chance to evade punishment? Kidnapping the current prince's consort and intending to dishonor the consort was a capital offense.

Kidnapping a scholar, he could argue there was a personal grudge and he only wanted to teach the scholar a lesson. At most, the Emperor would scold him a few times.

Yuwen Hao looked at her. "I can order the guards in Jingzhao to keep it confidential. As for Marquis Huiding's estate, he would be crazy to spread this outside."

"That won't do. We went through so much trouble and I almost got...killed by him. How can we let him off easily?" Yuan Qingling angrily said. What kind of person Marquis Huiding was, who in the capital didn't know? Letting him off so easily today, there would be consequences. Also, this was a rare opportunity that was hard to come by. It would be difficult to catch him again in the future.

Yuwen Hao got up. His tall figure was cast on the ground. "I've already decided. No need to keep talking about it."

"I object!" Yuan Qingling angrily jumped up and grabbed his arm. "Are you afraid of the Chu family? Or are you still being lenient because of Chu Mingcui?"

Yuwen Hao's face was gloomy. "Don't bring up irrelevant people."

Yuan Qingling disappointingly looked at him. "I guessed right. You don't want to become enemies with the Chu family because of Chu Mingcui. I really misjudged you. I thought you were at least clever enough to know to avoid harm. Letting Marquis Huiding off today, there will be consequences."

Yuwen Hao angrily shook his sleeve. "Ridiculous!" He said coldly and left.

Yuan Qingling watched his retreating figure. She was also very angry. She had almost sacrificed her chastity and life to gain this opportunity, yet he easily gave it up. Didn't that mean she had suffered for nothing?

Qi Amah softly sighed. "Your Highness, don't be angry. The Prince is also thinking of you."

"Thinking of me?" Yuan Qingling coldly laughed. "If he was thinking of me, he would truthfully report this."

Qi Amah said, "A woman's reputation is more important than life itself. Marquis Huiding's character, who in the capital doesn't know? If this got out, Your Highness's reputation would be ruined and you wouldn't be able to show your face in public. Hurtful words are like frost in June."

Yuan Qingling was taken aback. "I don't even care about my own reputation. What does he care about?"

"This shows the Prince cares about Your Highness." Qi Amah said definitively.

Yuan Qingling hadn't thought about this issue. But if it was about reputation, it was probably his own reputation he cared about. In any case, he loathed her. He might annul their marriage at any time. This wouldn't impact his reputation much.

But damaging his reputation a bit to get rid of an evil person, he should understand the trade off. He was a crafty man.

So was it really for her sake?

"If the Prince didn't care about Your Highness, how could he stay by your side the entire time you were unconscious?" Qi Amah continued.

Yuan Qingling regretfully thought, "So did I wrongly blame him?"

"Your Highness did wrongly blame the Prince." Qi Amah said decisively.

Yuan Qingling put her hand on her forehead. She always messed things up.

Just when it seemed to be going well, something would happen.

Later, Yuan Qingping came to see her. Seeing her injured, Yuan Qingping's gaze was complicated.

Although the people in the residence had hidden it from her, she had figured out the gist by probing Lu Ye.

"You really didn't need to do this." Yuan Qingping said with difficulty.

"I'm fine." Yuan Qingling absentmindedly responded.

Yuan Qingping was silent for a while before asking her, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts!" Her body had never recovered. She was always hurting somewhere.

Yuan Qingping lowered her head and started sobbing.

"What are you crying for? This is a good thing. At least you're free now." Yuan Qingling said. Even if this didn't come out, Marquis Huiding probably wouldn't dare provoke Prince Jing's residence for the time being.

Yuan Qingping wiped a tear. "What if you had died?"

Yuan Qingling smiled. "If I died, then I died. Everyone dies eventually. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

"You've been so good to me. I don't know how to repay you." Yuan Qingping lifted her head. Her flower-like face was covered in tears, but lacked the previous cold arrogance.

"Just treat me the same as before. Don't feel burdened. It wasn't all for your sake that I did this."

That was the truth. She had mainly been motivated by a moment of heroic impulse.

She didn't want to accept someone else's gratitude.𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶
