“Uncle also knows, so it actually doesn’t matter how many people know about it. If you want to tell His Majesty, just go and tell him, I don’t mind.”

If one person knows your secret, it might be bad for you. But if several people know your secret, it might not be. Instead, it might be a bomb waiting to explode.

Cheng Jinyun was a little startled. King Huai also knows?

Why does he know? Was he with her, or...

But no matter how King Huai knew of it, she was now facing two problems.

If Ming Shu and King Huai were not on the same side, and she succeeded in telling this to His Majesty, according to her understanding of this woman, she would definitely confess that King Huai knew as well. His Majesty would then suspect King Huai was also in the palace that night, and the latter would be bound to blame her for causing this trouble. Offending King Huai was no good to her.

If Ming Shu and King Huai were on the same side, then she might not even have a chance to tell His Majesty, and she would also offend King Huai.

Of course, Cheng Jinyun was thinking too much. What Ming Shu wanted to tell her was actually very simple: It doesn’t matter how many people know it, I’m not afraid.

“Are you finished?” Ming Shu looked at the silent Cheng Jinyun and became a little impatient. “Don’t block my sunlight, come on, please move.”

“...” Since her rebirth, she hadn’t had such a strong desire to fiercely beat a person in front of her.

Who gave her such confidence and courage?

...

Cheng Jinyun left. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so wronged in her previous life, and now that she was reborn, why should she be so wronged again?

If God had given her a chance to live a second life, and she still lived like before, then what was the meaning of her rebirth?

No...

I can’t live like this. I will be the last one standing, no matter what it takes.

Cheng Jinyun made up her mind. She turned around and walked back.

Ming Shu was sitting there alone; Zhi Qi was not with her. Cheng Jinyun hid behind a big tree, her nails clutching the trunk tightly.

After a while, she lowered her hand and secretly gathered some Qi. Just as she was about to attack Ming Shu, the prince suddenly rushed out and went straight toward Ming Shu, blocking Cheng Jinyun’s view.

Cheng Jinyun dissipated the Qi immediately.

The prince stood with his back to her, totally covering Ming Shu. She listened to them carefully. However, it was all the prince’s silly self-talking, nothing useful.

Cheng Jinyun considered some details in her mind. The prince seemed to like this woman very much.

No, not seemingly.

He did like her.

Cheng Jinyun pulled on the leaves beside her, and because of her uncontrollable strength— huala— leaves were pulled down. She quickly left and didn’t stop until she was far away.

The prince was her best choice, she couldn’t let the prince like Shen Ci.

Cheng Jinyun returned to the Cheng estate. Before she entered the house, she saw many servants moving red boxes inside the gates.

“What is this?” Cheng Jinyun asked one of the servants.

“Miss, this was sent by His Majesty to the younger miss,” the man replied.

Cheng Jinyun frowned. “Why?”

“Early this morning, His Majesty declared he selected the younger miss to be the future wife of King Huai.”

“What?” Cheng Jinyun didn’t expect that, when she hadn’t even married the prince yet, Cheng Jinxiu would marry King Huai.

King Huai...

Cheng Jinyun returned to her room, depressed. She couldn’t watch Cheng Jinxiu get married happily. She had been so miserable in her previous life. Cheng Jinxiu must also taste that kind of suffering.

“Jinyun.”

The sudden voice scared Cheng Jinyun quite a bit, but she soon smiled and turned to peer behind the screen. “Master, how come you’re here?”

“You haven’t made any progress in so long, so I’m here to see what’s going on.” An old man came out from behind the screen.

Cheng Jinyun answered hurriedly, “Master, you don’t have to worry. You’ve passed on all your skills to me, I will never let you down. But you also know what happened recently; the Heavenly Temple is very cautious these days.”

“I’m glad you remember.” The old man nodded, and his eyes flickered with deep hatred. “I’ve waited for so many years, and I don’t care if I have to wait a little longer. Be careful.”

Cheng Jinyun bowed her head and gave her assent.

The old man spoke to Cheng Jinyun about some other issues. Then, same as he appeared, he vanished without a sound.

...

The second eldest miss of the Cheng family was thrown naked in front of the gates of her family’s estate. The news seemed to grow wings and had spread throughout the city by breakfast time.

Yesterday the emperor handed out a decree, and today Miss Cheng was treated like this. This was entirely to provoke the emperor.

Mu Huai was inexplicably scolded in the early morning’s meeting, which put him in a bad mood. The air surrounding him could almost kill a person.

After the meeting, Mu Huai went out alone.

“Uncle, you are so ruthless!”

Mu Huai turned to see Ming Shu leaning against the palace wall with a smiling face. The red wall and green tiles were reflected in her clear eyes. The cumbersome palace dress had been rolled up casually, revealing her white arms. She must have been searching for food somewhere just now.

However, that image carried a bit of a lively feeling. Unlike other women in the palace, she was neither elegant nor innocent, but more like a vivid picture.

Zhi Qi stood beside her, looking nervous.

“I didn’t do it.” Mu Huai averted his gaze, his voice slightly deep.

Ming Shu rolled down her sleeves and continued: “I knew it. Uncle is not that kind of unstable person.”

“You believe me?” Now Mu Huai was surprised. In the meeting, not many people believed he didn’t do it.

Because he publically refused to marry the miss, those ministers believed that he did it in order to avoid the marriage.

“Anyone with a brain can tell.” Ming Shu laughed.

Even if the emperor ordered the marriage to happen, there were many ways to refuse it. Why use this kind of ineffective method which would offend many people?

King Huai was not a fool.

Mu Huai suddenly felt that perhaps he could consider the master’s request.

Sometimes she was actually quite cute.

Ahh, pah!

Nonsense!

What am I thinking about.

Mu Huai quickly shook away the strange thoughts in his head.

“Uncle, if I tell you who did it, can you do me a favor?” Ming Shu’s smile became dazzling.

Mu Huai was alert. His first reaction was not to wonder why she knew who did it, but—

“What favor?”

Ha, cute? I knew she must be planning something.

“Just a very small matter.”

“Tell me first.”

“Uncle, please, can you promise me first!”

Mu Huai showed a cold expression on the surface, but his inner thoughts were quite different.

Sorry, I can’t.

Ming Shu coughed. “Take me out of the palace.”

“That’s it?”

“It’s simple, right?” Ming Shu’s eyes were smiling again.

MMP, the master placed people in various positions. If I try to leave, I will be stopped immediately.

The little beastie?

There is only one little beastie, and I can’t split it in pieces to lead those people away.

What can I do?

I’m desperate!

Mu Huai looked her up and down and asked with a poker face, “What are you going to do outside of the palace?”

Recalling the last time, he didn’t want it to happen again.

“Eat!”

“Isn’t it enough for you to eat in the palace?”

Ming Shu shook her head honestly.

Not enough, not enough!

The food in the palace was indeed exquisite, but... it was not enough!
