Forced love, an inescapable fate

Chapter 156 It’s over, she was bewitched

Seeing Jiang Ci's enlarged handsome face getting closer and closer to her, Mu Qingli felt her heart beating like a drum, and the tips of her ears couldn't help but turn red.

In the end, he subconsciously pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Ci's smile widened.

Finally, he just raised his hand to wipe off the ink on her face.

Feeling the warm touch of fingertips on her face, Mu Qingli finally opened her eyes, only to hear Jiang Ci's teasing with an obvious smile.

"Why are you closing your eyes, Princess? I just saw ink on your face and wanted to help wipe it off."

At this time, not only the tips of Mu Qingli's ears were red, but her entire face was red.

God knows why she subconsciously pursed her lips and closed her eyes just now.

It’s over. Has she been bewitched?

No, absolutely not.

The only one to blame is Jiang Ci for suddenly getting so close to him for no reason.

I was just scared by him.

Yes, it was just a subconscious action caused by being scared.

It’s definitely not because I have some other thoughts in my mind.

Finally, when the pen in her hand was about to break due to her strong crushing, she suppressed her panic, lowered her head, and tried not to look at him.

The sound is like a mosquito.

"Something got into my eye, so I closed it. Your Highness, there's no need to grind the ink. Just sit by and wait."

Jiang Ci did not leave, but smiled meaningfully.

"I thought the princess wanted me to..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Mu Qingli covered his mouth with her hand with an angry look on her face.

"I'm not thinking anything, it's you who's overthinking it. You're affecting my performance by sitting here. If you want me to help you write a letter, please be quiet."

However, Jiang Ci's expression did not change even though she closed her mouth manually, and there was still a smile in his eyes.

Looking at her face full of regret, he finally nodded slightly.

Forget it, I won’t tease her anymore.

Seeing him nod, Mu Qingli finally let go of her hand. However, her hand was already stained with ink, and at this moment, the ink on her hand happened to rub Jiang Ci's chin.

It's round and straight, and it looks like he has a big black mole on his chin.

It seems a bit funny for some reason.

She suddenly wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

Then try to pretend nothing happened, it's really hard to endure

Jiang Ci was completely unaware of this, but he also knew that the situation was urgent. If they wanted to take down Wu Chen in one fell swoop, they had to act quickly.

And now the ink has been ground.

Then he stood up, took out a book from the bookshelf with a troubled look on his face, and sat quietly reading while waiting.

Mu Qingli looked up at Jiang Ci who was reading quietly, and finally forced herself not to laugh.

After calming myself down, I picked up the pen again and it went surprisingly smoothly.

Thoughts flow and writing flows smoothly.

The ancients were reserved, and Wu Chen was the prime minister. Even if he and the imperial concubine really had that unknown relationship, he would not express his feelings directly in the letter. Therefore, the scale of this letter must be carefully controlled. If it was too much, the imperial concubine would probably become suspicious.

Therefore, the first half is mostly about the worry and concern for her being in the cold palace, with only a few obscure sentences interspersed in the second half.

After finishing writing, she took a deep breath, then stood up and handed the written letter to Jiang Ci, motioning him to take a look.

Jiang Ci took the letter, put the book in his hand aside, and looked at it carefully.

Mu Qingli sat aside, feeling very nervous, and didn't notice what book Jiang Ci had just put aside.

At this moment, she felt like she was waiting for the teacher to announce the grades in school.

After a while, Jiang Ci finally took his eyes off the letter in his hand.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Qingli, who looked nervous.

"Well written. I only gave a few simple descriptions, yet the princess was able to understand the profound meaning and comprehend Wu Chen's thoughts. This letter will surely be of great help. Thank you, princess, for today."

Hearing this, Mu Qingli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the time I spent reading picture books in my spare time over the past few years was not in vain.

After all, it was used.

However, when Jiang Ci said this seriously with that ink-stained mole-like black mark on his handsome face and his chin, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

But I can only hold it in.

I made up my mind to let him go out and make a fool of himself today.

Seeing that she had been trying to hold back her laughter, Jiang Ci didn't understand why.

But seeing that she was in a good mood, he felt happy too.

He originally wanted to stay with her for a while longer, but now the matter of dealing with Prime Minister Wu Chen was imminent. Now that the letter had been obtained, he had to arrange for someone to find a way to deliver the letter to the Imperial Concubine as soon as possible.

As long as what they guessed was confirmed, Wu Chen would definitely die, and there was no need to say anything about Jiang Xian.

By then, he and she will have plenty of time.

As for her arranged marriage with Su Minsheng, he had never taken it seriously.

There would be no results anyway, so why should he worry?

But he never thought that someone around him had already thought about leaving.

After taking the letter, he said goodbye as usual, but before leaving, he pointed to the table behind him.

"It turns out that the princess likes this kind of book. Since the princess likes to read it, I will ask Bai Yu to find some more for the princess to relieve her boredom."

After saying this, he left with a meaningful smile.

However, Mu Qingli's attention was still on the ink on his chin. He belatedly realized it and exclaimed "Ah", then turned his head to look at the place he pointed.

The notebook that she had casually thrown aside last night suddenly appeared on the table.

So the book Jiang Ci had been reading just now was "A Pretty Lady Falls in Love with the Little Brother She Raised"?

The bright big words on the cover almost blinded her eyes.

She immediately started to explain in a panic.

"No, this is not it, it's not what I saw... it's not what you think..."

But I only heard it.

"Don't worry, Princess. I won't say anything nonsense. Don't worry. Bai Yu is one of us, he won't say anything nonsense either."

Then he waved to her with his back.

But the obvious sound of laughter still reached her ears.

Mu Qingli stood there in a daze, her face turning red again.

She really just saw this book by chance, but she was indeed attracted by the cover.

I turned the page with trepidation.

But he was discouraged by the "yellow waste" inside.

I swear to God, she really only read less than a page.

Then I was scared away by the straightforward and explicit text in it.

In the end, she threw the book aside. Who would have thought that Xiaotao would put the book in such a conspicuous place when she was cleaning the house.

Isn't this obviously digging your own grave?

Fortunately, Jiang Ci saw it.

This is hard to explain.

The literal meaning of those bright big words is not too obvious and implies the relationship between himself and Jiang Ci.

How can this be explained clearly?

She stamped her feet in frustration, cursing herself in her heart for being so naughty.

Marula, he must feel that I have such different feelings towards him.

But she still pretended to be scheming against him.

Whenever she thought of the contents of the book, her eyes would go darker and darker.

"God, please send a thunderbolt to kill me."
