501 I’ll Help You (2)


    “You have a glib tongue. Of course I know you’re very bold. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have deliberately made a fool of me at the tribute banquet.” At the thought of what happened at the tribute banquet, a trace of killing intent shed across Princess Ming An’s eyes. She was the most favored princess of the State of Qin. Even in the royal family of the State of Qin, everyone had to respect and fear her. She didn’t expect to be so frightened by Shen Miao that she fainted at the tribute banquet. At the thought of how embarrassed she was, Princess Ming An wanted to kill the person in front of her. If not for the fact that she was still in Ming Qi and was warned by Huangfu Hao, Princess Ming An would have killed Shen Miao now.


    She suddenly looked at Shen Miao and smiled. “Given how outstanding you are at archery, I want to suggest to Emperor Wen Hui to take you back. Do you want to go back to the State of Qin with me?”


    Shen Miao almost smiled. In both of her lives, Princess Ming An seemed to be destined to be at odds with her. Now, hearing that, Shen Miao felt like she had returned to her previous life. When Shen Miao volunteered to be a hostage in the State of Qin, Princess Ming An said the same thing to Fu Xiuyi. She said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Since she’s the empress of Ming Qi, the State of Qin will naturally treat her well.”


    In the end, in the State of Qin, she suffered no less humiliation than when she was in Ming Qi. Later, aftering back from the State of Qin, Shen Miao was able to fight with Consort Mei for so long in the harem all thanks to the tricks she learned while in the state of qin.


    “If Your Highness has such intentions, just tell His Majesty.” Shen Miao smiled indifferently. “If His Majesty agrees, I will be obliged to go to the State of Qin with Your Highness.”


    Princess Ming An wanted to mock Shen Miao, but she did not expect Shen Miao to retort. Shen Miao was Shen Xin’s precious daughter. Emperor Wen Hui wanted to keep Shen Xin, so he would not touch Shen Miao for the time being. She red at Shen Miao. “You!”


    Shen Miao smiled at her and did not say anything.


    “Don’t worry, I won’t let you go back empty-handed like this.” Princess Ming An smiled coldly, her eyes filled with malice. “Why don’t you marry my brother and be a concubine? Or a consort? I think the emperor of Ming Qi will be very happy to see that happening.”


    Shen Miao frowned slightly. If Ming Qi wanted to be on good terms with the State of Qin, marriage was indeed a good method. If Princess Ming An really persuaded Huangfu Hao to marry Shen Miao and make her his consort, Emperor Wen Hui would agree. When the fate of an entire country was involved, no matter how unwilling Shen Xin was, he could not resist.


    Seeing that Shen Miao was in a daze, Princess Ming An smiled coldly. Suddenly, she gestured to the maid beside Shen Miao. The maid suddenly reached out and pushed Shen Miao, who was standing by the pond, into the pond!


    Shen Miao was caught off guard and fell into the pond. Jingzhe and Gu Yu screamed and wanted toe over to help, but it was toote. This was Princess Ming An’s usual method. Since she could not really hurt Shen Miao today, she had to make Shen Miao suffer one way or the other.


    Shen Miao fell into the water with a ssh. She knew how to swim. Although the water in the early winter was cold, it was not enough to make her unable to move. However, she heard another ssh beside her. At first, she thought that she had heard wrongly. When she surfaced, she saw Princess Ming An struggling in the water.


    Princess Ming An’s scream almost pierced through the sky. She seemed to not know how to swim and screamed, “Someone! Help!”
