Meng Qingqian coldly snorted, “So what if Nanzhu looks good, it has nothing to do with you anyway.”

He Yunxiao laughed, “That’s not good to say. Marrying the Princess is still a matter of true ability.”

Meng Qingqian knew that the man in front of her, who called himself “Xiao Yun”, was He Yunxiao himself. She deliberately said to “Xiao Yun”, “I heard that Nanzhu has been promised to someone else by the Empress Dowager, so you should give up your heart.”

Hearing Li Qingmeng say this, He Yunxiao had some doubts in his heart. It was only yesterday that the Empress Dowager had said that Nanzhu had been promised to him, and she had not even issued an imperial decree. What is the origin of this Li Qingmeng, so well-informed?

She is a member of the Jiangnan Li family. Is she not an ordinary clan member, but a sister of Li Jin? Or was she a relative of the Empress Dowager and the Princess’ close relatives?

In this way, He Yunxiao figured it out clearly.

No wonder this girl’s favourability towards me dropped when I said something bad about Meng Qingqian just now. It turned out that she was Meng Qingqian’s lapdog.

Oh no, she won’t go to Meng Qingqian’s place to complain, right?

I used the name “Xiao Yun” to say bad things!

If this woman complains, Meng Qingqian will have a bad impression of “Xiao Yun”, and when NanZhu’s wife says she wants to marry Xiao Yun, she will be stopped by Meng Qingqian.

And with her power, if she were to look into Xiao Yun’s identity, she would definitely be able to look into my head. With her power, if she were to look into Xiao Yun’s identity, she would be able to. With this kind of trickery, the identity of “He Yunxiao” would not be lost with Nanzhu, too.

Realizing that the situation was not good, He Yunxiao hurriedly started to curry favor with Li Qingmeng.

He looked around to make sure no one was around.

He moved two steps closer to Qingmeng Li.

At this moment, Meng Qingqian, who was dressed as a man and identified by the system as “Li Qingmeng”, was very alert.

When she saw He Yunxiao approaching her, she subconsciously took a step back and said, “What are you doing?”

He Yunxiao hurriedly said, “Don’t be afraid, girl. I’m not Xiao Yun, I’m actually He Yunxiao.”

Meng Qingqian said with surprise, “You know I am a woman?”

He Yunxiao had a request for her, so he quickly smiled and said, “You are naturally beautiful, ordinary men do not have such delicate features as you do. Of course you are a woman.”

[Li Qingmeng’s favorability level changed from 20 to 25]

The compliment of being good-looking was a trick that worked for any woman.

Looking at He Yunxiao, Meng Qingqian finally regained her air of being the eldest princess and said, “What does Young Master want to do by assuming the name ‘Xiao Yun’? And what do you want to do by being so ingratiating to me?”

He Yunxiao did not rush to answer, but instead compensated with a smile, “Your surname is Li, and you are so pretty, smart and capable, so you must be the beloved of the Eldest Princess’s trusted person.”

He Yunxiao impresseded Meng Qingqian.

He could actually deduce from “Li Qingmeng’s” surname that “Meng” was my beloved?

It seems that this He Yunxiao is much smarter than Li Jin.

The handkerchief stained with saliva was still in He Yunxiao’s arms, and Meng Qingqian would never admit that she was the Eldest Princess, even if she was beaten to death.

In addition to the fact that she called him “Father” drolling like a fool, if she were to admit that it was herself, she might as well just die.

It just so happened that He Yunxiao guessed a reasonable identity for her, so she simply made it up to He Yunxiao and became “Meng Qingqian’s trusted one”.

Meng Qingqian said: “You guessed right. The Eldest Princess is my cousin.”

He Yunxiao was overjoyed. He said, “I beg you for one thing!”

Meng Qingqian had never seen such a dog-like attitude from He YunXiao, so she was immediately interested and said, “Tell me.”

“Please don’t tell her about me talking about the Eldest Princess, Miss.”

“Why?”

He Yunxiao gritted his teeth and said, “Please also promise me first, Miss.”

Meng Qingqian liked the feeling of pretending to be “Li Qingmeng” more and more.

When she was “Meng Qingqian”, whether it was a high official or a guard, or even the Queen Mother, anyone who spoke was cautious. She herself had to carefully analyze what those powerful ministers said, and how much of it was true and how much was false.

But now that she was “Li Qingmeng”, she didn’t have to worry so much. Even He Yunxiao can talk to her as an equal. You can say whatever you want to say. There was no need to test the hearts of people. No need to worry about truth or falsehood.

With a smile, Meng Qingqian said yes to He Yunxiao.

“Okay, I won’t tell the Elder Princess at all.”

He Yunxiao put his heart down and said, “In fact, I really want to marry Nanzhu, but I’m afraid that if my words ‘Eldest princess is inferior to Nanzhu’ fall on Meng Qingqian’s ears, she will make bad attempts to obstruct me and Nanzhu.”

Meng Qingqian said, “How could my cousin be so evil? Forcing off a marriage just because of a comment you made?”

He Yunxiao did not know how to explain to her the complicated relationship between him and Xiao Yun. He just said, “Nanzhu has always listened to her sister, Meng Qingqian. If Qingqian has a bad impression of me, it will be difficult for me to marry Nanzhu.”

Meng Qingqian blinked, she originally thought that He Yunxiao was a womanizer and a lustful person. How come now, listening to him, it seems that he has deep feelings for Nanzhu and wants to marry her?

“Do you really want to marry Nanzhu?”

He Yunxiao was unusually firm.

“That’s natural.”

Meng Qingqian said, “What if my cousin really makes a attempts to stop and forbids you two?”

He Yunxiao said with certainty, “Then I will marry her anyway.”

Meng Qingqingdao then said, “What if you can’t?”

She had thought that He Yunxiao would say something like, “Wait hard”, “Stay together”, or “I do not want anyone but her”. However, she never expected that He Yunxiao would not come to this.

He Yunxiao said, “Of course I can marry her. I’ll just go to the palace and steal her out.”

Meng Qingqian thought that He Yunxiao was very childish.

She said, “There are a few martial artists in the imperial palace, not to mention the 20,000 Imperial Soldiers, so how can you steal them?”

He Yunxiao said rightfully, “I have 120,000 of the He family army! If I really want to marry her, who can stop me!”

Meng Qingqian could no longer follow He Yunxiao’s train of thought. What is this? The He family had been loyal subjects for generations, and now for the sake of a woman, He Yunxiao wanted to rebel?

She was stunned, “You would rebel just for a woman?”

He Yunxiao hurriedly corrected the antidote girl Li Qingmeng.

He said, “It’s not ‘a woman’, it’s my wife.”

Meng Qingqian did not understand, and she asked, “What does ‘wife’ mean?”

“It means ‘the best treasure in the world’ Everything.”

Meng Qingqian could not speak. He Yunxiao’s ideology deeply shocked her. It was vastly different from her previous understanding of the court situation, where interests were colluded.

She didn’t understand why He Yunxiao could go and gamble everything he had for Nanzhu. One must know that, his biggest support was only Marquis aka his father. Once the army was sent, he would be ruined, regardless of whether he succeeded or not.

Moreover, although the army of 120,000 is strong and can indeed grab the Nanzhu, has he not considered what to do after he has robbed her? How can these 120,000 people survive in Qi when they already have a rebellious mind?

Meng Qingqian could not understand.

The only thing she could understand was that He Yunxiao really wanted to marry Nanzhu.

[Li Qingmeng’s favorability level changed from 25 to 35]

After a moment of silence, she still said, “Don’t worry. I won’t reveal to my cousin about your badmouthing her. Anyway, Princess won’t stop you from marrying Nanzhu.”

He Yunxiao was just about to say thank you when the ringing of the Soul Devouring Pill came through!

It was Chu Xiaoxiao urging him on!

Intense pain tore through his body, and he was drenched in cold sweat for a while.

Noticing He Yunxiao’s strange appearance, Meng Qingqian asked, “Young Master, what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly sweating so much?”

Luckily, the bell only rang once.

He Yunxiao recovered from it and returned to his normal self, relieving Li Qingmeng, “It’s nothing, it’s a little bit of a problem.”

He then said, “Miss Li, I have something important to do, so I will leave first. Don’t eat those fruits anymore. If they get stuck again, there will be no one to save you.”

Meng Qingqian remembered the fruit, the “saliva”, the “handkerchief”, and the “father”

So behind He Yunxiao’s unseen back, she quietly blushed again.

She touched her burning cheeks and thought of the nineteen years she had lived. In these nineteen years, the number of times when she was bewildered added up to one. And she was never as bewildered as she is today.
