Chapter Eighty-Seven: Feeling Abandoned

ack hair, its tip dangling several strands of milky white pearl pendants. As Su Ling walked, the pearl pendants shimmered in the sunlight like stars. 。Under the golden morning sun, Su Qingying's alrea..."Su Qingying's expression was a bit subtle, and there was an inexplicable displeasure on her pretty face. "Is Jun Li Ye fond of Yun Ling"

Unnoticed of Su Qingying's displeasure, Xi'er continued her gossip endlessly, practically worshipping Yun Ling. "Well, not only the Northern Ridge Regent King, even the Western Ming Emperor has fallen for Palace Master Yun Ling."

“Stop! I’m not listening anymore, it’s boring! I’m tired, I want to sleep!” Su Qingying turned her back on Xi’er irritably. Even if Xi’er was slow, she could hear the displeasure in her voice.

"Uh, Princess, you're not getting a massage anymore"

"No more! No more! I'm going to sleep!" A certain woman put on a little temper, pulled the blanket over herself and pouted.

Xue'er saw Su Qingying burying herself under the covers, her head full of black lines. She thought to herself, the princess must have another bout of seizures, so she quietly retreated and closed the door behind her.

After Xi'er left, Su Qingying tossed and turned under the covers, unable to fall asleep. Jun Liye liking Yunling's words kept replaying in her mind like a barrage of comments.

Unable to sleep, Su Qingying decisively threw off the covers and sat up. She nervously fiddled with her ink hair, "Damn it, why does my heart feel so uncomfortable when I hear Jun Liye likes Yun Ling Why do I feel abandoned"

She plucked at the strings of the ancient Yueqin, a silver sound echoing through the air. Su Qingying whispered, "If this ancient Yueqin belongs to Yun Ling, how did it end up in Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's hands Where did Yun Ling go"

With a thought, she suddenly wanted to test the power of this ancient Yueqin. Ever since Jun Liye had given her the Ziyuyu last time, she had ground it and the Coral Pearl into powder that day and swallowed it. Now she should have some internal energy, right

Unseen by Su Qingying, her internal energy circulated silently. A refreshing coolness washed over her dantian as she lightly plucked the silver strings with her jade fingers. At that instant, the shimmering strings became a faint blood red.

"Boom!" A gust of wind shot towards the tree outside the window. With a deafening roar, the tree crashed to the ground. Under the clear moonlight, the sharp cut on the stump was clearly visible.

"Holy crap! Such power with just a light strum Even more powerful than cannons! This ancient moon qin is practically cheating! I wonder what that meticulous Emperor Xuan Yuan Lo Chen was thinking, giving me such a treasure for free. Didn't he draw the short straw" Su Qingying didn't know that Emperor Xuan Yuan Lo Chen had no idea she could wield the ancient moon qin with such ease. If he knew now, he would probably be so mad he'd spit blood!

With her bare hands, Su Qingying gently caressed the ancient moonqin. A strange feeling welled up in her heart, "However, it's so odd. Why do I feel like this ancient moonqin is very familiar to me It's as if it had always belonged to me"

"It must be an illusion. Gu Yueqin was Yun Ling's weapon before." After thinking for a moment, Su Qingying quickly dismissed her own guess.

Hearing such a commotion at Liu Yun Palace, the Imperial Forest Army arrived quickly. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Qingying hurriedly closed the windows and went to sleep.

After sleeping until noon, Su Qingying simply shoveled two bites of rice and then slumped her head, paralyzing herself on the table.

She was wearing a sky-blue sleeveless dress. Her beautiful face was rosy and radiant, like a newly ripe peach. Even without makeup, her unparalleled beauty was undeniable. Her phoenix eyes sparkled as they moved, captivating everyone with their spirit and charm.

"Xier~," she dragged out the last syllable weakly, Su Qingying's little hands pounded incessantly on the table. "Why are these the same dishes every day Aren't there any fish I want to eat fish!"

Xi'er wore a puzzled expression, "Princess, these are all your favorite dishes. You usually love to eat them, don't you"

"Come on, I've been eating these same dishes for half a month now. Even if I like them, I'm getting tired! Fish! I want to eat fish! I want grilled fish! Where can I find some fish"In her past life, grilling fish was Su Qingying's specialty. Every time she went on a mission, she would take the opportunity to catch a couple of fish from the river just for a taste.

That tender and elastic fish meat, that delicious taste, just thinking about it makes her drool!

"Princess, watch your image!" Xi'er had a giant bead of sweat hanging on her forehead as she stared at Su Qingying's drool.

Without a trace of grace, Su Qingying wiped her mouth with her sleeve and fell into a deep obsession with eating fish. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her phoenix eyes lit up instantly, and she said brightly, "That's right, how could I have not thought of it There are a group of silver carp in the lake at Lingxiao Palace!"

"Gee, Princess, you wouldn't be thinking of catching those fish again, would you It's said that those little fishes were raised by the Empress Dowager before she left, and the West Sea Emperor is very fond of them." Xi'er quickly dissuaded her, lest she stray further down the path of self-destruction!

To her surprise, Su Qingying's laughter grew even louder upon hearing this. It was clear that her focus and Xi'er's were on completely different wavelengths. "So those mullet have been raised for so long," she exclaimed, "No wonder they looked so plump last time! Mmm, they must taste delicious!"

"Princess…" Xier's heart skipped a beat, but unfortunately Su Qingying didn't give her a chance to continue. She grabbed Xier and hurried towards Lingxiao Palace.

Lingxiao Palace is Xuen Yuan Luo Chen's bedroom. Not only are the guards around it strict, but there are also sentries every three steps in the dark guard.

In contrast, Qiuming Lake, which is quite far from the Lilingsxiao Hall, was sparsely populated and lacked even a single guard. This was hardly surprising, after all, Xuanyuan Luocheng wasn't sleeping in the lake, and besides, no one would have the audacity to come steal fish from Xuanyuan Luocheng.

It is summer now, and the lotus flowers in Qi Ming Lake are in full bloom. They stand out against the lush green leaves, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting.

"Wow! What a fat mandarin fish! I'm so lucky, hehe." Su Qingying, with Xi'er hiding from the patrolling guards, found a more open place by Qiuming Lake. Looking at the mandarin fish swimming happily in the lake, Su Qingying's bright phoenix eyes were almost smiling into slits.

“My princess, perhaps we should leave now. What if Ximing Emperor finds out we're fishing for these fish We’d be in terrible trouble, and even the Crown Prince wouldn’t spare us.” Xi'er glanced around nervously, her heart still pounding.

"Relax, once Xuan Yuan Gu Mao finds out, these fish would have long turned into droppings and been pulled out. Without evidence, he can't do anything to us. He can't take our droppings back to study, right" The delicious food was right before her eyes, how could Su Qingying give up so easily She found a branch, and Su Qingying waded into the water barefoot.

"......Xi'er fell silent. Her princess was truly becoming more down-to-earth."

In silence, Su Qingying had already rolled up her sleeves and strung a whole bunch of fish with twigs. She was happily walking to the shore, "Xier, start a fire, get ready to grill fish!"ngying saw that Jun Liye and Gu Yi were still unconscious. She swayed unsteadily and walked out of the room.Outside, stars twinkled brightly, and the flying eaves shimmered with crimson and emerald gr...
