Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

Nothing special happened in the next few days. She followed Xiao Yanqing all the time, handling official business, drinking tea, and having meals. What made her feel strange was that she hadn't seen Qianyun much recently, and usually there were only the two of them in the house.

I thought Xiao Yanqing would deliberately make things difficult for her, but it seems that is not the case.

"Miss Qingyu, His Highness asks you to come over." Qianyun, who had been away all day, finally showed up.

Qing Yu looked up at the sky and asked, "Isn't your Highness done with your work?"

She was just about to go wash up, what could he want from her now?

"You'll know when you go there." Qianyun pointed to the house where she was.

Before she could ask the reason, Qianyun had already left, and she could only walk slowly towards the house she was directed to.

Standing at the door, she hesitated and reached out to push the door open. A thin mist mixed with charming aromatherapy swirled in the room. A gauze-like white curtain covered a huge pool, and there were water stains on the ground.

This is actually a bathhouse?!

Her heart was in suspense. Was she being fooled? Why did Xiao Yanqing ask her to come for the bath?

She thought about it in her heart, turned around and prepared to go back quietly.

"Stop!" Xiao Yanqing stopped her in an imperative tone.

She was stunned, "Your Highness...are you calling me?"

Do you want to torture her again?

"come over."

After some hesitation, I had no choice but to move closer to him.

"What did your highness ask me to do?" She stood behind him, keeping a distance of about two meters.

"What did you say? Serve." His words were concise and clear, yet with sharp edges.

"I'm not your highness's maid." She didn't understand what he wanted to do.

"It is now." He didn't turn to look at her, his dark hair falling to cover his broad back.

She noticed the handkerchief placed beside him. Did he want her to help him bathe, or did it mean something else?

She hesitated for a moment and did not move, and he lost his patience.

"How long are you going to watch there?"

Since there is no choice, just do it. She is not the one who will suffer anyway.

She leaned over, picked up the handkerchief, wet it, and wiped his body exposed outside the sink.

She couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed a soldier, his broad, muscular shoulders were the result of years of accumulation.

The skin was covered with a few scars, which in her eyes were a sign of victory in battle, a display of bravery, which she admired.

"What are you thinking about?" He looked at her sideways and saw through her wandering thoughts at a glance.

"No, I just admire your highness," she responded.

"Admire? Why?"

"Why..." She suddenly stopped wiping her shoulder and pondered the answer in her heart.

"Perhaps, it's because I survived every duel with death." At this moment, a trace of pain flashed across her eyes, and then disappeared immediately.

He captured all of this, and he was even more certain that it was her truest emotion, but why did she have to hide herself in such a confused emotion?

Why? Plot? Fear? Or as she said, to survive?

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist. She was startled, but due to the huge power difference, she couldn't resist at all.

"Pfft!"

He dragged her into the warm water pool, with most of her body immersed in it.

After she came to her senses, she looked at Xiao Yanqing in surprise.

Before she could say anything, the hands around her waist locked onto hers, his huge body pressing down on her, her eyes meeting his watery face, his rosy lips about to kiss hers.

"What are you going to do?" She immediately placed her hands on his muscular chest and looked straight into his handsome face.

"I want you to accompany me." His voice, thick with breath, squeezed out from his throat.

"Accompany..." She opened her eyes wide, in disbelief. Was he drunk?

"Are you scared?" He then noticed that he could control her petite body with one hand.

She swallowed subconsciously, forcing her throat to roll, "A little bit, I'd better help Your Highness find someone else."

She had already clung to the shore, indicating that she wanted to escape from this dangerous situation.

"Don't even think about running away. I want you." Before she could go up, he circled her back and held her arms tighter.

Just as he was about to kiss her lips, an answer suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Are you testing me?" This time she didn't push him away or run away.

He was startled and stopped before kissing her lips.

After hesitating, he slowly released his grip, letting his fingers lightly touch the skin of her cheek.

"Isn't this the result you wanted?"

"Your Highness is intelligent, handsome, and has a good figure, but I don't have any extra feelings for you." She boldly responded to his domineering gaze.

He examined the truth in her words and the lies hidden in her eyes.

"Do you like Wen Shu?" He recalled the time she and Wen Shu spent together.

"like."

Suddenly, the arms that were hugging her tightly seemed to break her waist.

She sensed his anger and said, "Don't misunderstand me, Your Highness. It's just a liking between friends, nothing more."

She finished her explanation, "Can you let me go now?"

"Jiang Qingyu, remember what you said."

Feeling the hand around my waist loosen, I immediately distanced myself from him, climbed ashore, and left without looking back.

No wonder she always felt strange recently, it turned out that Xiao Yanqing was creating opportunities for her to get close to him.

"Qing Yu? Why are you all wet?"

When I returned to the room, I happened to meet Xiao Wenshu passing by.

"Take a bath." She replied casually.

"Hmm? Bath? With clothes on?"

Before he could ask for details, she had disappeared.

At night, she soaked her whole body in the pool, and her mind was filled with Xiao Yanqing's eyes just now. His actions, which seemed gentle, were full of hatred and murderous intent.

The calm of the past few days was indeed a precursor to the coming storm. It looked like Xiao Yanqing's patience with himself would not last long.

But how will he use himself?

Everything was normal the next day. Xiao Yanqing's attitude was as if everything that happened last night was an illusion, and his face was cold and indifferent.

"Qingyu, did something happen yesterday? Did my brother..." Seeing her reading a book in the courtyard, Xiao Wenshu sat beside her and asked.

"Hmm? It counts but it doesn't count." She muttered nonchalantly.

"Ah? My brother didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

A smile spread across her lips as she reassured him, "No, it's okay, don't worry."

But the more she acted like this, the more uncomfortable he felt. Perhaps subconsciously, she was his only good friend.

"I'm sorry, Qingyu, I can't change my brother's mind, but I believe in you, Qingyu." Xiao Wenshu sighed secretly.

"Don't apologize, Wenshu, your brother's approach is correct." She flipped through the book in her hand. These things didn't affect her mood at all.

"Qing Yu, aren't you angry?"

She shook her head.

"But I think we can choose the path of cooperation and conspiracy." Although Xiao Wenshu didn't believe that Qingyu would kill his father, he believed that Qingyu would never harm them.

"But for your brother, this decision means risking his life. Of course, the same is true for me."

"why?"

She closed the book and looked into Wen Shu's eyes, "Wen Shu, will you cooperate with your enemy?"

"No, but Qingyu, you are not." Xiao Wenshu denied.

"In your brother's eyes, I am an enemy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenshu fell silent. He wanted to change the current situation, but he didn't know how to do it.

"So, Your Highness has no reason to do this." For Xiao Yanqing, he had no leverage to control her.

Her thoughts were swirling in her mind. Since she didn't believe they had a common enemy and couldn't find any evidence against her, perhaps she could create an opportunity for him.

"You're right."

The sudden voice startled both Xiao Wenshu and her.
