Chapter 110 - It Is Not a Dream (2/2)

She looked at this maid, who was dressed in the maids’ uniform in the fourth prince’s mansion, and there must be nothing wrong. She nodded. “I see. I will come later.”

“Lady Liu was afraid that you don’t know the way, so she told me to lead the way for you. Please don’t make it difficult for me, My Lady.” The maid didn’t give up. It seemed that if Shi Qingxue didn’t follow her, she would drag the lady there.

Shi Qingxue thought, “Even if Liu Yiyi wants to harm me, she wouldn’t dare to play dirty tricks in public. Maybe I will be safer in the backyard.” Then she replied, “Please lead the way.”

The maid led Shi Qingxue to go through the splendid pavilions and buildings in the mansion, and she almost felt dizzy.

When they walked on a long path with cobbles, Shi Qingxue finally asked, “Wait. Where are we going?”

The maid still smiled and pointed to a door with flowers in the front, answering innocently, “After we go through the door, we will reach the backyard. Lady Liu and the others are inside. My Lady, please walk quickly.”

“The backyard of the fourth prince’s mansion is located in such a deserted place. Isn’t he afraid of slighting the respected guests?” Shi Qingxue still stood and looked around from the corner of her eye.

Even when Shi Qingxue was in doubt, the maid didn’t panic but winked at somewhere secret. She smiled at the same time. “This is a mansion given by His Majesty, and the architecture was arranged by the Labor Ministry. I don’t know why they built it like this.”

Since the maid said that, Shi Qingxue couldn’t ask more.

But she didn’t speak, as if she believed what the maid said, and she continued to walk.

The maid walked to the door with flowers and reached out a hand. “My Lady, please.”

Qingxue popped out her head when somebody pushed her from behind. She staggered forward for a few steps before stopping.

When she looked back, the door with flowers was closed.

“Gee, the same trick again.”

In the pavilion, Mo Junhao was scared by the sudden news of Qin Yanyan’s pregnancy. He was certainly happy. Among all the princes, only his side concubine was pregnant. In another word, his son would be the eldest grandson of the emperor and could give him a hand to take the great responsibility.

But in that case, it would probably be difficult for him to marry Shi Qingxue. The Qin Family wouldn’t agree but might ask him to make Qin Yanyan his wife, a princess.

He pondered for a while and his happiness was gone. Then he pushed Qin Yanyan away from his arms and said indifferently, “Since you are pregnant, you should recuperate. You don’t need to go to the backyard. Go back to your room first and take a rest.”

“I want you to stay with me.” Qin Yanyan grabbed Mo Junhao’s sleeve and spoke softly like a spoiled child.

But Mo Junhao shook off her hand impatiently and replied with no emotion, “I have something to do and will go to see you later. Liang’er, send your lady back to her room.”

Qin Yanyan refused to go and pouted angrily. “No. Today is my birthday. Junhao, you don’t keep me company. Are you going to sleep with some seductress?”

“What are you talking about?” Mo Junhao shouted harshly and then realized that he was too emotional. He lowered his voice. “I really have something important to deal with. Don’t make a fuss, okay?”

Qin Yanyan sneered. “Something important? Do you think I am blind and have no idea what you asked that bitch to drink just now?”

Mo Junhao was nervous and stared at Qin Yanyan. “What do you know?”

Qin Yanyan touched the teacup Shi Qingxue had just used and then shrank her hand. She wiped her hand with her handkerchief in disgust and responded casually, “The love flower tea! It can arouse a woman’s desire. No matter how pure and dignified she is, she can become a dissolute woman after drinking it.

But don’t you always think that you are so unrestrained and charming that nobody can defeat you? Can you only make it with such a dirty trick?”

Mo Junhao understood that Qin Yanyan had known his intention and didn’t hide it from her anymore. He tried to please her and grabbed her hand. “Yanyan, I always love you most, but you know about my ambition. My identity means that I won’t have only one woman in my life. If you really love me, why can’t you consider more for me?”

But Qin Yanyan got rid of his grip. “I know what you want. I tell you frankly. I am not so jealous. Like the beauties in the mansion, as long as they don’t get pregnant or fight for your love, I can accept them. But…”

She focused her eyes on Mo Junhao and stressed each word. “But Shi Qingxue can’t! I would never allow her to surpass me.”

She was not a fool. If Shi Qingxue became the fourth prince’s wife, she would be always inferior to that woman, and she wouldn’t allow it.

“Why can’t you understand? I don’t love her. What I need is the Shi Family behind her…” Mo Junhao was anxious and tried to coax Qin Yanyan with delusive words.

However, Qin Yanyan was no longer that little girl who valued Junhao above everything. She had grown up and seen through many things.

She looked away from Mo Junhao and said coldly, “Your Highness, don’t need to say more to me. Anyway, any other woman is fine. Even if you have an interest in a noble lady, I can ask my father to help you. But Shi Qingxue would never be yours! And…”

Qin Yanyan laughed mysteriously all of a sudden.

Mo Junhao got alert and grasped Qin Yanyan’s hand, questioning, “And what? What did you do to her?”

Qin Yanyan seemed not to feel the pain and still smiled. “Nothing. I just told someone to take her to the Purity Garden. Gee, she had some love flower tea. If it works, she will be extremely seductive.”

What kind of place was the Purity Garden? The fourth prince had a place where he kept some singing girls and could entertain the guests with them, and that was the Purity Garden. It was far away from other places in the mansion, and even if something happened, nobody would know.
