Chapter 129 Ancient Rebirth Black Heart Lotus (6) (1/2)
The girl knew that her role was to seduce the King of Linjiang, and she had made full preparations. She never expected that she would achieve her goal so easily before she could use any means.
Hearing Lin Shiheng's undisguised boasting of his love, she was delighted. With shyness on her pretty face, she bowed slightly and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."
Mu Qingrong's eyes were even more proud. She knew that the King of Linjiang would definitely like such a look.
She held her dignified appearance and smiled generously: "This girl has been serving me for a short time. She has always been smart and considerate. It is her blessing to be praised by the King."
Mu Qingrong was determined to win. She knew that the King of Linjiang would never give up until he got the woman he liked. Otherwise, he would not have kept her by his side after she became the concubine of the previous emperor.
Today, when the King of Linjiang accompanied the Princess back home, he personally asked the Princess's sister for a beautiful girl. If it was spread out, it would be just a romantic affair for the King of Linjiang, but it would be like a slap in the face for the Princess Mu Qingling.
This matter would spread throughout the capital at the instruction of Mu Qingrong.
As long as she was a normal woman, she would definitely have a grudge against her husband because of this matter. In addition, the maid Bo'er instigated the discord. In the future, she would marry Lin Shiheng, and the Princess who was not liked by the Prince would not be a threat at all.
Mu Qingrong planned very well, but unfortunately, before the King of Linjiang Lin Shiheng could speak, Mu Qingling, who was standing beside him with a smile, smiled and said, "This girl does look good. Sister, are you willing to give her up and let me take her back to the palace?"
Hearing this, the smile on Mu Qingrong's face, which had not yet bloomed, froze slightly.
What's going on.
If Mu Qingling was not deaf, dumb or blind, she should be able to see that her newlywed husband was a sex-hungry ghost. How could she not be angry and make such a generous gesture?
Mu Qingrong almost wanted to bite her teeth to pieces.
Now that Mu Qingling asked, if she gave it to him, even if the girl went to the bed of King Linjiang in the future, it would be Mu Qingling's generosity and virtue. If she didn't give it to him, King Linjiang would give it to him as soon as he asked for it, wouldn't it be that she, the unmarried sister, gave a woman to her brother-in-law's bed?
If it got out, would she still have a reputation?
I didn't expect that Mu Qingling would have such a method. It was really a dog that bites but doesn't bark.
Mu Qingrong was very angry. In her previous life, she enjoyed the days of being suppressed by King Linjiang for too long. Even if she was reborn in this life, in her eyes, Mu Qingling was just a defeated general.
As long as she cried and felt wronged, Mu Qingling would be defeated.
Mu Qingrong always thought so.
But now, the prince has not accepted her, and Mu Qingling still occupies the position of the princess. Even if she has a lot of tricks to make the prince pity her, as a young lady, Mu Qingrong cannot use them.
She was angry and hateful, but she looked at Lin Shiheng who looked at her with displeasure because she was reluctant to agree, and she forced herself to suppress the grievance, bowed and said softly: "Since sister likes it, then this girl will be given to sister."
After saying that, Mu Qingrong raised her eyes and looked at Lin Shiheng pitifully, timidly, and with a sense of shame.
She was born with a good appearance. If she did such an action, any man would definitely have a lot of imagination and take her to heart.
Mu Qingrong was full of confidence, but when she looked at Lin Shiheng's face, she almost got angry to death when she saw the scene.
The handsome prince in luxurious clothes was looking at Bo'er with an appreciative smile, not even a glance at Mu Qingrong, so naturally he could not see the shy posture she had put on with great effort.
The expression on Mu Qingrong's face froze for a moment.
She even began to regret pushing Bo'er out. Originally, she just wanted Bo'er to alienate Prince Linjiang and Mu Qingling, and discredit Mu Qingling's reputation. But looking at the current situation, Mu Qingling's reputation was not damaged at all and he didn't mind Bo'er at all, and it also affected her plan to cultivate feelings with Prince Linjiang.
She regretted it in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.
Logically speaking, Mu Qingrong hadn't married yet, and although Prince Linjiang was her brother-in-law, he was also an outsider. If she met him occasionally, no one would gossip about him, so she could just leave early.
Mu Qingrong didn't!
In her previous life, she had experienced both honor and disgrace. She was arrogant when she was a favorite concubine, and became a concubine after the death of the previous emperor, which was almost like the pain of being banished to the cold palace.
If she still had the reserve of a lady in this period of time in her previous life, after experiencing the experience of becoming a favorite concubine again as the concubine of the previous emperor in her previous life, Mu Qingrong had already put her face and reputation behind her.
What is the use of reputation? Can it allow her to enjoy wealth and honor for a lifetime?
As long as she has power, it doesn't matter if she has a bad reputation. Just like in her previous life, she couldn't enter the palace as a concubine, but as long as the emperor said a word, she could change her identity and name and easily sit on the position of favorite concubine.
Mu Qingrong knew that the emperor's favor was the most important. Even if she killed Mu Qingling's two children, she was still firmly protected. Not only that, in order to protect her, Lin Shiheng even kissed Mu Qingling, his first wife.
Even if countless palace maids and eunuchs saw it, what would happen? People in the world only knew that Mu Qingling died of a sudden illness. If she hadn't thought of a false pregnancy to get the throne, she wouldn't have been rejected by the emperor.
Mu Qingrong didn't dare to hate Lin Shiheng, who killed her in her previous life. She only hated Mu Qingling, hated that she took away her position and her honor. If she didn't want it, how could Mu Qingling become the emperor?
What Mu Qingling owed her in her previous life, she must take it back in this life.
At any cost!
Mu Qingling didn't know that Mu Qingrong's mind was full of how to let her die early and give up her position. Seeing that this third sister was so shameless that she didn't take the initiative to ask to leave, she was almost angry and laughed.
They were all taught by the nanny to grow up with rules since childhood. Even if Mu Qingrong was spoiled, it was impossible for her not to learn those rules. It was impossible for her not to know what it meant to be careful about men and women.
It's fine if they met by chance, but what's the point of staying here? She doesn't want fame, but her sisters don't want it either!
Mu Qingling's eyes were filled with anger. He glanced at Mu Qingrong and said coldly, "I still have to go with the prince to pay respects to my mother. I'll say goodbye to my sister here."
Mu Qingrong was startled. She was not used to Mu Qingling treating her in such a tough manner. Wasn't she afraid that Lin Shiheng would get tired of her?
The beautiful girl seemed to be a little aggrieved by her sister's tone. Water splashed in her beautiful eyes. She said in a weak voice with grievance, "Sister hasn't been home for a long time. Qingrong really misses her..."
Look, how kind she is and how she cherishes sisterhood.
Such a woman must make Mu Qingling look even more cold and ruthless.
You know, what Lin Shiheng hates most is people who are indifferent to beautiful women...
Mu Qingrong looked at Lin Shiheng with tears in her eyes, and then froze again.
"The delicate jade hand touches my heart. I wonder if Bo'er's hand is really as soft as clouds."
The beautiful maid blushed when she was praised, which made King Linjiang stare at her intently.
After a moment of stiffness, Mu Qingrong immediately raised her voice, with a little sobbing in her tone.
"I thought that you missed your family as much as I did..."
As she spoke, her eyes were red, and she glanced at King Linjiang unintentionally, expecting him to feel pity for her because of her sobbing.
However, Lin Shiheng was still concentrating on looking at Bo'er, and didn't even turn his eyes to see what she meant.
It was obvious that he didn't see that his princess was making things difficult for Mu Qingrong.
Mu Qingrong, who had long been accustomed to looking for Lin Shiheng to help her out when she had something to do, almost choked up. The most annoying thing was that she was no longer the favorite concubine in her previous life, but just an unmarried girl. She couldn't even cry and beg Lin Shiheng to make the decision like in her previous life.
Mu Qingling, who was suppressed by her in her previous life and rarely left the Queen's bedroom, was saying coldly: "I know that my sister wants to reminisce with me, but since the prince is here and my sister has not yet married, I will go back to the courtyard for the time being. When there is a chance, you and I sisters will have a good chat."
Who wants to reminisce with you!
Mu Qingrong gritted her teeth in hatred, but when she turned her eyes away with grievance, Lin Shiheng, who could make the decision for her, was still talking to Bo'er.
"Are you really a girl? Such beauty and clear character, I am afraid that the fairies in the sky can't compare."
His face was full of sincere admiration: "Bo'er, I am afraid that when I see you, I will never see anyone else in my eyes."
Mu Qingrong was furious after all the gestures were in vain.
She comforted herself that it didn't matter. It was a good thing that Bo'er was liked by the prince. According to her previous teachings, Bo'er would definitely find every opportunity to praise her, the third lady, and let the prince's attention shift to her.
After comforting herself, Mu Qingrong felt better.
Bo'er's heart was beating fast. She tried to suppress her pride, but she couldn't help but curl her lips. She bowed to Lin Shiheng and said shyly, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
Mu Qingrong hadn't been mentioned for a long time.
Mu Qingrong's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
When Bo'er felt a cold gaze and turned back, she saw Mu Qingrong looking at her with a poisonous gaze.
She felt cold in her heart. Although she had not served Mu Qingrong for a long time, she knew that the third young lady was an unmarried girl, but she acted more cruelly than some ladies from wealthy families.
Thinking that her indenture was still in Mu Qingrong's hands, she quickly put away her previous smug look and hurriedly added, "I am not as good as Your Highness said. Compared with the third young lady, I am like a firefly compared to the stars in the sky."
Mu Qingrong was satisfied, stood straight, and smiled embarrassedly.
Just about to say that she is not that good.
Lin Shiheng turned his head and glanced at her, with a look of disdain on his face, and turned to Bo'er and said gently: "Bo'er is too modest. Compared with you, Miss Mu San is a firefly. With your appearance and character, you can still be so modest. You are really the most outstanding woman I have ever seen."
Mu Qingrong thought she could be praised but ended up being stepped on: ...
She watched Lin Shiheng look at Bo'er with more appreciation because of Bo'er's exaggeration, while the princess Mu Qingling beside her smiled without any concern, and she discovered something for the first time.
Her enemy was not Mu Qingling, the dull and unloved princess.
But a beautiful and charming woman like Bo'er who could seduce people.
Mu Qingrong's hatred was instantly directed to Bo'er, and Mu Qingling beside her was completely ignored by her.
Because she finally reacted, she didn't need to alienate them, and the prince who could flirt with other women in front of the princess, how much respect could he have for his wife.
She regretted pushing Bo'er over, and was angry that Lin Shiheng completely ignored her when he saw Bo'er, and was in a mess.
nbs"Bo'er is someone close to me anyway. Since I'm leaving, I'll take her back to pack up."
Mu Qingrong didn't care about her shameless plan anymore. She bowed hurriedly and gave Bo'er a look. As Lin Shiheng looked at the girl reluctantly, she left in a hurry with a sense of anger.
"Leaving now?"
King Linjiang looked at Bo'er's departing back with great pity. With a sense of regret, he turned his head to Mu Qingling and said, "I haven't promised you the position of concubine yet."
Mu Qingling smiled generously and gently: "It won't be too late to promise you the position when the prince sees Miss Bo'er next time."
Lin Shiheng smiled with satisfaction: "The princess is right."
As he said that, he walked to Mu Qingling's side, snatched the umbrella from the girl who was holding the umbrella, and held the umbrella for her personally.
While beating her, he looked at the girl with a puzzled and disdainful look: "Princess, the girl next to you is too pretty..."
As if he didn't want to say it out loud and hurt the princess's face, King Linjiang hesitated for a few seconds and chose a less hurtful word: "Too mediocre."
Mu Qingling nodded and smiled, indicating that although the girl was mediocre in appearance, she was efficient in work.
She had given up reminding her. This girl was the one that Lin Shiheng had just praised before leaving the house in the morning, saying that she lived up to her name.
The pretty girl who was said to be mediocre in appearance had no sad or embarrassed expression on her face.
There was no way. If she was the only one who was said to be ugly, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, but in the past few days, every girl who was seen by the prince had first felt "I praise you to the sky, but I won't admit it when I meet you again."
Just get used to it.
The girl followed Mu Qingling obediently, thinking that one day when the princess was in a good mood, she could ask for a favor to let her go out of the house and marry when she was old enough.
The prince was abnormal. Instead of trying to climb up the rich and powerful and then being beaten half to death and scolded for being ugly, it would be better to serve the princess well and go out of the house early to become the main wife.
As soon as Mu Qingrong returned to the house, she turned around angrily and looked at Bo'er who was following her: "Kneel down!"
Bo'er didn't dare to resist and knelt down immediately.
"What did I tell you? What did you do? When you saw the prince, your eyes fell on him. How could you still have me as your master in your eyes and heart!"
Bo'er felt wronged, and because she was favored by the prince, she had some confidence, so she couldn't help but speak a little tougher.
"Miss, you want me to seduce the prince and alienate him from his wife. I have been doing this. I don't know why you want to do this."
"Why should I do this?!"
Mu Qingrong looked coldly at the person kneeling on the ground, and stretched out her hand to slap her hard.
——Pa!
A crisp sound rang out, and Bo'er's eyes turned red. She covered her face and lowered her head with tears.
Above, Mu Qingrong's sinister voice rang out: "I am the master, you are the servant, and you don't need to ask me what I do."
"Do you think you have a backer just because you are favored by the prince? I tell you, there are many ways to make a little girl like you disappear from this world silently! If you make me unhappy again, next time it won't be just a slap!"
She is different from Mu Qingrong. She is not threatening when she says this. In her previous life, when she was a favorite concubine, she treated those concubines who wanted to compete with her for favor and secretly conceived the dragon fetus much more cruelly than she said now, so it doesn't matter if she adds a little girl.
Bo'er also heard that Mu Qingrong could really do such a thing. She turned pale with fear and dared not say anything more.
Mu Qingrong looked at her with satisfaction, her face full of fear, "Mu Qingling will meet the eldest lady in the afternoon. I will ask her to go to the pavilion in the lake to appreciate the flowers. Then you will follow her and push me into the water when no one is paying attention."
Bo'er was shocked. She was a servant. If she pushed her master into the water, how could she survive: "Your servant, your servant..."
"Don't worry."
Mu Qingrong saw through what she was thinking at a glance and sneered: "When the prince arrives, you can just say that it was Mu Qingling who pushed you."
"But the girl is so noble. If something happens to her..."
"Since I said so, I must be sure that the prince will arrive in time. Okay, go change your clothes. If you can't do it well in the afternoon, you don't have to enter the palace. I see that the abandoned yard in the east is missing a well filler."
Bo'er couldn't figure out why a teenage girl could be so cruel. She was so scared that she trembled and knelt on the ground and responded: "Yes, I will do what the lady said."
Everything went as Mu Qingrong planned.
She did have a way to lure Lin Shiheng over. She just needed to send a maid to tell him that Bo'er had a dispute with the princess, and Lin Shiheng, who Bo'er liked, would definitely go over.
This was based on Mu Qingrong's understanding of Lin Shiheng in her previous life.
And when he arrived, he saw her struggling in the water with her clothes half-unbuttoned. Even if he didn't have any feelings for her, he would definitely jump into the water to save her out of pity.
Mu Qingrong didn't put all her eggs in one basket. She could swim. In her previous life, as a concubine, she had accompanied Lin Shiheng, who loved swimming, to swim countless times. The small lake in the garden couldn't do anything to her.
If things changed and Lin Shiheng couldn't come, she would just swim up by herself.
Everything was planned well, except that Lin Shiheng arrived a little early.
Mu Qingrong only had time to wink at Bo'er before she was pushed into the water.
It's hard for a person who can swim to pretend that he can't swim.
She kept rising and falling in the water, shouting for help, and pretending to struggle with her clothes half-off.
Everything was perfect.
Until she saw Lin Shiheng quickly running to the pavilion, "Bo'er! Are you okay... Who is this?"
Mu Qingling was still dignified, and glanced coldly at Mu Qingrong in the water, "Your Majesty, this is Bo'er."
Lin Shiheng, with the familiar three-point suspicion and seven-point disdain of Mu Qingrong, brewed for a while, and then hesitantly said: "Did this servant offend the princess?"
Bo'er didn't have time to think about why King Linjiang's attitude changed so quickly, she immediately knelt on the ground and said in a crying voice as ordered: "Your Majesty, please understand! Just now, the third lady and the princess were admiring flowers here. I don't know what they talked about. The princess pushed the third lady into the lake in anger. Please, Your Majesty, save the third lady!!"
As she spoke, she looked up pitifully, but met Lin Shiheng's disgusted and distrustful gaze.
"You are ugly, and your character must be bad. How could my princess push someone away? Even if she did, wouldn't she find a maid?"
"Come here, take this lying girl out and beat her with a stick forty times."
Bo'er was stunned.
Mu Qingrong, who was still struggling in the lake, was also stunned.
Only Mu Qingling was not surprised.
Bo'er looked at the princess's cold and indifferent expression, and a surge of jealousy suddenly rose in her heart.
Why did she have to live a hard life under Mu Qingrong, while Mu Qingling could enjoy the position of princess and not suffer any loss of interest when being targeted by Mu Qingrong?
She gritted her teeth and screamed as she was dragged out: "Your Majesty, please be clear! Miss San was pushed into the water by the princess. When you rescue Miss San to shore, she will tell the truth!"
"When the truth comes out, it won't be too late for Your Majesty to punish me!"
"Wait."
Lin Shiheng waved his hand and asked the servants who were holding Bo'er to let go.
"Are you so sure that Miss San Mu will say that the princess pushed her into the water after she gets ashore?"
Bo'er nodded repeatedly, "I am sure!"
Mu Qingling in the water gritted her teeth and struggled to shout: "Your Majesty! It was really my sister who pushed me. Please save me... um... save me..."
Lin Shiheng glanced at Mu Qingrong, who had not died easily even after being pushed into the water for such a long time.
"Since Bo'er is so sure and Miss San Mu also said so, then don't fight."
Bo'er, who was kneeling, was happy, and Mu Qingrong, who was still pretending to struggle in the water, was happy.
She knew that Lin Shiheng always protected the people he loved.
Even if they made a big mistake, he would protect them at all costs.
This time, Mu Qingling still lost.
However, the next moment, Lin Shiheng said:
"Take this girl out and kill her to silence her."
"And Miss Mu San..."
Lin Shiheng thought for a few seconds under Bo'er's unbelievable gaze, and ordered: "Bring a bamboo pole, don't let her go ashore, don't let her come up alive, and damage the reputation of the princess."
The implication was to kill her.
Mu Qingling, who was standing aside and drinking tea calmly, choked on a mouthful of water.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Even if she was as calm as she was, she was not calm now.
Lin Shiheng, who was standing next to her, hurriedly patted her back, and urged the servants beside him:
"What are you doing standing there? Go quickly!"
After yelling at the servants, he comforted Mu Qingling in a gentler tone: "Don't worry, Princess. I will never let you damage your reputation."
Mu Qingrong in the water almost had cramps.
She watched Lin Shiheng on the shore actually take the bamboo pole handed over by the servants and stretch it towards her.
The man who would still protect her even if she killed his own son in the previous life was looking at her as if he was looking at an obstacle, holding a bamboo pole in his hand to hit her head.
"Hey, you're quite good at hiding."
Is this a dream?
Is this a dream? ! !
Mu Qingrong almost escaped to the shore at the fastest speed since she learned to swim.
She was in tears.
Finally she survived!!
At this moment, the joy of escaping from death filled her heart.
She knew it!!
She would not die so easily!
God let her live again just to let her eliminate all regrets and obstacles.
She gritted her teeth and swore that she must trample Mu Qingling under her feet.
The next moment, a devilish voice sounded in her ears.
"What a trouble."
"Someone, throw her into the water again."
——Crack.
Mu Qingrong's teeth were really broken.
