She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chu Mingyue was also impressed by the Prince of Qingyang.

In the previous life, when Xiao Chongyu forced Shen Weicang to marry him, Shen Ruowu entered the palace alone to confront Xiao Chongyu.

It is not known what the two talked about, but it is said that Shen Ruowu had a fight with Xiao Chongyu, who was already the emperor, and in the end Shen Weicang became Xiao Chongyu's queen.

Chu Mingyue was unable to enter the palace at that time, nor could she meet Xiao Chongyu. Luyin and Hongyu learned all this from the palace steward.

At that time, her father and brother both advised her to accept the decree of divorce, even if it meant staying in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for the rest of her life.

But Chu Mingyue couldn't let go of the resentment in her heart.

I thought that their relationship had gradually become harmonious over the past few years. Although it couldn't be called a harmonious couple, at least Xiao Chongyu would occasionally show some tenderness when facing her.

Moreover, his success in achieving great things was inseparable from the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and she also truly accompanied him through countless open and secret attacks.

Who can tolerate that the husband who has been with her for several years would kick her away and find a new love once he gains power?

So she would rather die than accept the divorce order, and threatened to die in order to see Xiao Chongyu.

Later he came, but he came with Shen Weicang.

The way he carefully protected the woman in his arms deeply hurt Chu Mingyue's eyes and heart.

What made her even more heartbroken was that the tender and affectionate look he showed towards Shen Weicang turned into a cold expression when he looked at her.

In the end, Shen Weicang couldn't bear to see her like this, and persuaded Xiao Chongyu that he had just ascended the throne and treating his wife like this might damage his reputation, so he conferred the title of imperial concubine on her.

At the beginning, Chu Mingyue still had fantasies about Xiao Chongyu.

A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. They have spent many years together day and night. Even if Xiao Chongyu loves Shen Weicang deeply, it is impossible that there is no place for her in his heart, right?

But after trying several times to grab Xiao Chongyu's attention, she was strangled by Shen Ruowu and pressed against the wall. For the first time, she felt so close to death.

Shen Ruowu's voice sounded like an evil spirit: "Giving you the position of imperial concubine is already a great gift from heaven. There is a huge difference between you and Cang Cang. Stop dreaming about things that you don't deserve!"

At that time, Chu Mingyue thought that Shen Ruowu treated her like that because Shen Weicang was his sister, and a brother naturally had to protect his sister.

But now standing face to face with Shen Ruowu, she felt a little weird.

I always feel that the person in front of me is very familiar.

The jealousy and hatred in Shen Ruowu's eyes were concealed very well, but perhaps because she was feeling the same emotion at the moment, Chu Mingyue still noticed it.

She found it a little unbelievable. Shen Ruowu had just asked her if she enjoyed it, which showed that he had also witnessed the scene of Shen Weicang and Xiao Chongling getting along.

So, who is he jealous of?

Seeing that she didn't react and just stared at him blankly, Shen Ruowu said coldly: "I didn't expect Miss Chu to have the habit of peeping at others."

Chu Mingyue came back to her senses, concealed her doubts, and showed an indifferent expression:

"I don't understand what you said, Your Highness. I just walked out of the forest and happened to meet His Royal Highness Prince Jing and the Princess passing by. How did that become peeping? I can't bear this crime."

Shen Ruowu warned: "The Zhenguo Mansion is not a small family. I believe Miss Chu knows the meaning of the four words "self-knowledge" and also remembers how to write the two words "lesson".

Chu Mingyue gritted her teeth and said, "Forgive me for not understanding what you mean, Your Excellency. If you have something to say, please speak clearly."

"Some things don't need to be said too bluntly. I don't think Miss Chu is stupid enough to not understand what I'm saying."

Shen Ruowu finished speaking lightly, and added: "Since Miss Chu is already engaged, she should also do good deeds for herself. Such behavior of spying on others behind their backs is definitely not what a lady from a noble family would do."

Chu Mingyue thought it was ridiculous and immediately retorted, "According to what the prince said, what kind of lady from a noble family would hug and cuddle with a man in broad daylight?"

Shen Ruowu just stared at her coldly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes made Chu Mingyue very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, please don't bother with Miss Chu," Nie Feiyun's voice sounded from behind the two of them, "She was outspoken and talked back to you, I hope you won't take it as a fault."

Shen Ruowu turned around and said, "I haven't congratulated Second Master Nie in person yet, but the wedding is coming soon."

Nie Feiyun clasped his fists in return and just opened his mouth to say something, but he heard him say, "But I advise you to open your eyes when looking at people, because marriage is a matter of a lifetime."

As he said this, he looked at Chu Mingyue meaningfully, then walked away.

Seeing Chu Mingyue's ugly face, Nie Feiyun said calmly:

"I have reminded you that you can target Shen Weicang, but don't underestimate Shen Ruowu. Although the Qingyang Palace has no real power now, he has already achieved the position of Junior Minister of the Dali Temple at a young age. He has a promising future. It will not do you any good to offend him."

Chu Mingyue said sarcastically: "Do you think that if I try to please him, he will treat me with courtesy?"

Nie Feiyun looked in the direction where Shen Ruowu was walking away: "How did you meet?"

"I ran into Shen Weicang and His Royal Highness Prince Jing when I came out of the forest, and he said that I had evil intentions towards his sister."

Nie Feiyun snorted and laughed: "Isn't what he said wrong?"

"But I didn't show up at all," Chu Mingyue couldn't help but argue, "I even hid aside and waited for them to leave before coming out."

Nie Feiyun shook his head: "You are dissatisfied with Shen Weicang. He is Shen Weicang's brother, so naturally he will not be kind to you."

He opened the folding fan in his hand and put it over his eyes to block the sun: "I want to remind you that you don't have the strength to compete with Shen Ruowu now, so you should stay away from him."

Chu Mingyue sneered: "I didn't expect Master Nie to be so timid. It's a pity that you don't know that blindly giving in will only make the other party more aggressive."

Hearing her sharp retort, Nie Feiyun couldn't help but frown slightly: "What has provoked you today?"

Chu Mingyue was hit by his question like a wake-up call, and she immediately woke up.

Ever since she saw Shen Weicang and Xiao Chongling's affectionate laughter and playfulness, she has been immersed in an indescribable resentment. She was suddenly awakened by Nie Feiyun's question.

"Sorry, I overreacted."

Chu Mingyue warned herself in her heart not to think about Xiao Chongyu again, nor about her past life.

Nie Feiyun didn't care about her loss of composure and brought up another matter: "You asked me to check if there are any ferocious beasts in this mountain, and I actually found something."

Chu Mingyue asked hurriedly: "How?"

"Yesterday I sent someone to sneak into the forest you mentioned and found traces of bear activity."

There really are bears.

Chu Mingyue became worried. If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wanted to survive this disaster, the best way was to prevent Xiao Chongling from being attacked.

But what reason did she have to approach King Jing?

I'm afraid that even if she tells the truth, no one will believe it.

However, the autumn hunt would not start until tomorrow, and she remembered that Xiao Chongling's accident happened on the fifth day, so there was still time to plan.

She never expected that something bad would happen to Xiao Chongling on the second day of the autumn hunt.
