Meng Qingjiao forced a smile and replied, "My sister invited the prince to enjoy the peach blossoms, so I'd better not go with her. As for the sachet, I'll find an opportunity to pick two peach blossoms in a couple of days."

"The peach blossoms are blooming beautifully these past two days. You can pick even more beautiful ones if you go. Otherwise, they'll wilt in a couple of days and all the pretty ones will have been picked. We should go early, what do you think, Dad?"

After saying this, Meng Tingyue looked at Lord Meng with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lord Meng looked at Meng Tingyue with satisfaction, and glared at Meng Qingjiao again.

When he turned to Shen Yunheng, the wrinkles on his face deepened. "Tingyue is right. Bandits have been rampant recently. There have been many robberies and murders around the imperial city. If His Royal Highness is willing to accompany you, I will feel more at ease as your father."

Hearing this, Shen Yunheng said indifferently, "I happen to be free and can take the two girls to the peach forest."

Meng Tingyue was extremely satisfied, her eyes curved into crescents, and a hint of fox-like cunning flashed in her eyes.

Shen Yunheng's face was calm and composed.

Meng Tingyue was happy, but Meng Qingjiao wanted to leave right then and there.

She would never go to the peach forest to appreciate the flowers with this short-lived guy. If she went with him, what if the Fifth Prince heard about it and misunderstood her?

She will hold on to the Fifth Prince tightly in this life. After the Crown Prince dies, the Fifth Prince will not have to pretend to be sick. When the Fifth Prince becomes the Crown Prince, she will be the new Crown Princess.

She would never give such a good opportunity to the fool Meng Tingyue again.

Meng Qingjiao's mind raced, racking her brains to avoid repeating the same mistakes as in her previous life.

"Since the prince and sister both agree, I..."

Meng Qingjiao rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.

She even leaned towards Meng Tingyue, hoping to find someone to take the blame for her.

Meng Tingyue took a step forward as expected, "Your Highness..."

The words faltered as she heard the sound of something heavy falling behind her. She turned around and pretended to be surprised, "Ah, why did Sister Jiaojiao faint?"

Meng Tingyue saw Meng Qingjiao's eyelids twitching because of the pain from falling to the ground. She held back her laughter and shook Meng Qingjiao in pretended worry.

"Sister Jiaojiao, Sister Jiaojiao, go get the doctor quickly."

Meng Tingyue looked at Meng Qingjiao, whose lips trembled in pain as she secretly pressed a few acupoints on them, and her heart was filled with joy.

Like pretending to be dizzy?

Then don't blame me.

Meng Tingyue exerted force on her hands again.

Meng Qingjiao's face trembled, and her heart was filled with joy.

These acupoints are extremely painful to press, but Meng Qingjiao can actually endure it.

Even if Meng Qingjiao became suspicious and complained, who would believe her?

That acupoint was taught to her by her master. Unless you press them all at the same time, there will be no reaction.

Ordinary doctors cannot see the mystery.

Meng Qingjiao was in so much pain that she cursed Meng Tingyue in her heart. Meng Tingyue didn't let go until she fainted from the pain.

Seeing Meng Qingjiao being carried out, Meng Tingyue was in a good mood.

In addition to worrying about Meng Qingjiao, Lord Meng also felt resentful. His plan failed, and he could only apologize to Shen Yunheng in frustration.

Shen Yunheng always looked indifferent and cold, like a talking painting.

If you shut your mouth, you'll be no different from a painting.

"If anyone in the mansion is unwell, there is no need to come out to see me. I don't need one more person."

Lord Meng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I understand. Next time, no, there won't be a next time."

Shen Yunheng withdrew his oppressive gaze and inadvertently met a pair of eyes that seemed to be shining with starlight.

Just like the queen mother's favorite little fox, this kind of emotion appears in his eyes when he sees something he likes.

They are exactly the same.

Meng Tingyue occasionally has vague memories of what happened in her previous life.

She actually forgot that her father's fear of the prince was like a mouse fearing a cat. As long as she became the Crown Princess, no matter how much her father protected the mother and daughter, it would be useless.

After she gains the trust of the prince, she will use his power to investigate the cause of her mother's death and expose the hypocritical mask of the fifth prince.

She just needs to take revenge quickly in the two years before the prince's death. After the prince's death, she can use the prince's subordinates and the emperor's favor for the prince to spend her old age in peace.

Isn’t this beautiful?

The more Meng Tingyue thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. Her eyes couldn't help but bend a little, and the slightly raised corners of her eyes had a hint of boldness and charm. With her makeup today, she looked so clearly into Shen Yunheng's eyes.

Shen Yunheng stood up, his expression calm, "Let's go to the peach blossom forest."

"Your Highness, please."

Meng Tingyue spread out her hands and looked particularly attentive.

Even when facing this cold and oppressive face, I can still smile.

Shen Yunheng's gaze fell on Meng Tingyue calmly, and then disappeared in a flash. He strode out.

Meng Tingyue could hardly keep up with his pace, so she could only hold up her skirt and jog after him.

After running for a while, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she breathed slowly and slowed down her pace.

Shen Yunheng's figure gradually shrank in sight.

After Meng Tingyue left the mansion, she saw the carriage representing the Prince's Mansion parked at the door.

No one is allowed to ride a horse in the capital, even the prince is no exception.

Meng Tingyue climbed onto the carriage and looked up at Shen Yunheng's handsome and cold features.

Shen Yunheng lowered his eyes and concentrated on the book in his hand, and seemed not to notice Meng Tingyue got on the carriage.

Only after Meng Tingyue sat firmly did Shen Yunheng open his mouth and say, "Let's go."

Clear and calm words were spoken, and the carriage started slowly.

The carriage has good shock absorption, and as long as it is not running fast, the people sitting inside can hardly feel the vibration.

It is very suitable for reading in it and it does not hurt the eyes.

This is the conclusion drawn by Meng Tingyue.

There is an area inside the carriage that is slightly different in color from the seat cushion.

At first, Meng Tingyue was still wondering what was placed there.

A finger with slender knuckles and rough calluses on the palm fell there, and with a gentle pull, the lid opened to reveal the neatly arranged books inside.

Shen Yunheng put down the booklet in his hand and picked up a new one to read.

Meng Qingjiao was also there in her previous life. From beginning to end, Meng Qingjiao was trying to find topics to chat with the prince. In the end, the prince's word "noisy" made her cheeks red and her face look ugly.

Comparing Meng Qingjiao's embarrassed look at that time with her embarrassment today, Meng Tingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When she raised her eyes inadvertently, she met Shen Yunheng's dark eyes, and her laughter stopped abruptly.

Meng Tingyue quickly covered her mouth, her voice a little muffled, "Shut up, I'm noisy, I shouldn't disturb you reading."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yunheng frowned slightly.

Meng Tingyue's heart skipped a beat.

Did she say the wrong thing?

Just as I was trying to make up for it, the carriage seemed to have stopped.

The voices of the prince's entourage came from outside.

"Your Highness."

Meng Tingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She remembered that in her previous life, the prince had to leave for something and left the carriage to her and Meng Qingjiao, and assigned a few close guards to escort them to the peach forest in the suburbs.

The carriage was not a suitable place for casual conversation. She had just displeased the prince, so it would be better for her to leave early to avoid making the prince upset.

Shen Yunheng observed Meng Tingyue's expression, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes lowered slightly as if thinking about something, and he said to the outsider, "Speak."
