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

After getting her affirmative answer, Xiao Yanqing slowly loosened his arms, took her hand and left.

His actions, his words, and his repeated reassurances were telling her that she was no longer alone, that he was behind her.

In the carriage, with his company, she fell asleep in a short while.

He carried her in his arms as usual and went back to the bedroom, looking at her sleeping soundly on the bed.

He thought that at least tonight he would know her true side, but he was wrong. Not only could he still not see clearly, but it became even more confusing.

She could tell those lies so truthfully with tears, fear and timidity.

Her disguise was perfect, and it could even fool him. The only thing he was sure of was that her hatred for Jiang Mo grew every time he saw him.

As for the rest, including himself, he couldn't be sure.

Jiang Qingyu, which side of you is real and what is your purpose?

……

At noon, the dazzling sunlight shone into the house, and she had already woken up.

What happened last night and the warmth he gave her kept circling in her mind, every detail, every touch. Although everything was under her control, it was not enough, not enough.

Whether it is Xiao Yanqing or Jiang Zhuo, they are far from achieving her goal.

"Young lady." Hearing the noise inside the room, the maid outside knocked on the door.

"Your Highness ordered the doctor to come again to check on the young lady's injuries."

After hearing the maid's reminder, she thought that Xiao Yanqing must have a lot of questions about what she said yesterday.

"Okay." She answered and went to open the door.

After she finished washing, the doctor applied medicine to her again. Although there were many doubts, no one dared to ask the reason. Everyone could not help but feel sorry for her poor life.

After finishing the meal, she came to the study, "Your Highness."

Hearing her voice, he raised his eyes, his gaze subconsciously falling on her cheek. Although the swelling had subsided, the red mark still remained on the skin.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked with concern.

She smiled, and the marks on her face did not affect her original beauty at all, and even added a touch of lovable and sad beauty.

"I took the medicine, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

Seeing how relaxed she looks, she should be fine.

His pupils slightly turned, and he considered, indicating the injury on her cheek, "Is this what you asked me last night?"

"Well, I said I would listen to your Highness." She was still the same as always.

"Was what I said to Jiang Mo last night a strategy?" He carefully examined her expression, as if trying to find clues from her cheeks.

She didn't react at all when she heard his question, but sat down and spoke boldly.

"Yes."

"Why not tell him directly? Instead, tell him..." After being slapped twice.

Since Jiang Qingyu knew that if she angered Jiang Mo, Jiang Mo would definitely take action, why didn't she avoid it? With her intelligence, how could she not have a solution?

"Isn't this the same as your Highness's plan? This huge change will make him suspicious. Jiang Mo was unable to complete the task assigned by Jiang Zhuo, and he must have been punished. Since he came to see me in such a humble manner, he must be full of anger."

"He just needs to finish his job and vent his anger on me, and then he'll leave."

He heard her analysis and realized that in such a tense environment, she was able to calmly think of countermeasures and come up with a perfect response plan. One can imagine how powerful this woman is.

"Are you always so cruel to yourself?" Yes, she has always been like this, risking her life.

She was startled for a moment, then smiled softly, "Didn't His Highness say that he would let me get it back?"

He raised his eyes and looked into her deep black pupils. The hatred in his eyes was condensed. Perhaps he got some answers from it. Even without his help, she would definitely get it back!

"Yes, definitely." He confirmed again.

"Qing Yu!" Xiao Wenshu's voice came from outside the house.

When Xiao Wenshu learned what happened yesterday, he immediately rushed back from the military camp.

"Wenshu." Hearing Xiao Wenshu's call, he quickly responded.

Xiao Wenshu hurried into the room and bowed, "Brother."

Then he turned to her, "Qing Yu, did you see Jiang Mo? Is everything okay?"

But as soon as he approached, Xiao Wenshu instantly caught sight of the injury on her cheek and frowned.

"Qing Yu, your face..."

"He... hit you?" Xiao Wenshu's heart sank suddenly after he reacted.

"I'm fine..." She was about to comfort him, but Xiao Wenshu had already bent down and reached out to check.

"Jiang Mo, that bastard!" Xiao Wenshu couldn't help but curse.

Qing Yu is so skinny, how could that bastard have the guts to do that to her? !

"Does it still hurt?" he asked worriedly. He wanted to check and touch her carefully but was afraid of hurting her.

Xiao Yanqing, who was standing aside, fixed his gaze on Xiao Wenshu's hand that was about to touch her cheek, and his knuckles holding the book tightened slightly.

After a brief moment of forbearance, he couldn't help but speak, "Wen Shu!"

Hearing his commanding call, Xiao Wenshu and she raised their heads at the same time.

He pursed his lips and explained, "I've already applied medicine."

Xiao Wenshu heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."

But he still couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, "Qing Yu, did he beat you often in the past?!"

When she heard Wen Shu's words, she lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

"He is obviously your brother. Even if he can't protect you, how can he hit you?!"

This question suddenly touched a nerve in her.

Yes, even if there was no protection, how could he be so cruel?

He, who was standing by, immediately noticed her strange behavior and quickly stopped her, "Wen Shu!"

Xiao Wenshu paid attention to his brother's expression, and then he realized that what he said would only make Qingyu more sad.

"Qing Yu, don't worry, it won't end like this, it definitely won't!"

Hearing Wen Shu's gritted teeth tone, she finally calmed down from her thoughts and nodded.

"Thank you Wenshu." As she spoke, her eyes intentionally fell on Xiao Yanqing's face.

She had hoped countless times that someone would stand by her side unconditionally. Perhaps the slipping red line had already been drawn in the dark, symbolizing the entanglement of fate.
