She didn’t expect that Cheng Jinyun, the fake female protagonist, would show up for this painting . This painting was really important .

Hehe . Ming Shu clicked her tongue .
Mo Baisheng was really a big shot .
Ming Shu stepped back to the end of the alleyway with the painting to make sure these people couldn’t capture her easily . Then she smiled and said, “fortunately, today you can witness a miracle with your own eyes . ”
Mu Huai’s first thought was that she wanted to do something unusual .
Cheng Jinyun was a little confused . She looked at Ming Shu—or rather, the painting in her hand .
Cheng Jinyun only played a supporting role in her previous life; she didn’t know what happened to the protagonist . However, she was now the new female lead and knew that some secrets were hidden in this painting, so she took the risk and came here in person .
Who knew… she would be seen through by Ming Shu at a glance .
“Stop her . ” Mu Huai gave the order to Ye Cong .
The latter, in conditioned reflex, acted immediately . But Ming Shu was already standing at the entrance of the alleyway; she only needed to turn around and run a few steps outside, and she would be exposed to an ambush .
Ye Cong didn’t stop her .
Ming Shu escaped the alleyway .
She stood outside, smiling . The emperor gave this painting to her, using the Heavenly Temple and Ming Shu herself as its shield .
Well, she was okay with him using the Heavenly Temple, but using her…
Anyone who uses me without gifting me snacks, they are robbers .

“Lord… do I need to chase after the royal princess?” Ye Cong didn’t dare to give chase . The people outside were all Qi Hongwei’s, so he had to ask Mu Huai .
Chase?
Chase what?
I want to kill her .
Mu Huai held back his anger and watched Ming Shu walking toward the ferry with the painting . She looked quite pleased .
Why is she happy? What is she happy about! There’s nothing to feel happy about!
Did she know what she was doing?
Mu Huai clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths so that he didn’t combust .
What should I do now?
What can I do?
Just find a good spot, and wait to watch the show .
Ming Shu walked to the ferry . People dressed like laborers had already surrounded her in all directions . They seemed to want to examine her entire person thoroughly .
“I’ve brought you what you want . ” Ming Shu shook the painting in her hand and smiled .

Ming Shu came alone, which was unexpected to these people . They studied her cautiously, suspecting ambushes and traps .
The girl widened her smile, as if having figured out what they were worrying over . “Rest assured, I am alone . ”
“Let her come up . ”
A voice rang in the distance . Ming Shu followed the sound: a man was standing on the ship’s board .
Ming Shu put the painting on her back . With her skirt flying, she walked toward the side of the boat . The people blocking her way didn’t scatter to let her pass until she neared them .
Ming Shu then boarded the ship . The man awaiting her bowed his tribute and said calmly, “Please come with me . ”
Ming Shu stood motionlessly and smiled . “You really are thinking highly of yourselves . Let your lord or anyone who matters come out to meet me . ”
The man frowned, apparently dissatisfied with Ming Shu’s proposal .
But finally, he looked at Ming Shu and was ready to go in and report this proposal .
“Oh, right, prepare some food for me, and don’t poison it . ”
“…” Is this person here to cause trouble?
“Hahaha, the royal princess is much more interesting than I thought . ” The laughter came from the cabin, and a man exited, escorted by his people .
The man was eye-catching, wearing gorgeous clothes, and he looked just like any other young lord of a rich family .
“You are also more good-looking than I expected . ” She thought he would be a fierce and sturdy man; she didn’t expect a good-looking one .
“This should stand as testimony to the saying, ‘Rumors are not credible . ’” Qi Hongwei took a seat opposite Ming Shu . “Go prepare some food . We can’t let the royal princess think we are rude and don’t know etiquette . ”
“Yes . ”
Someone brought a chair for Ming Shu . Ming Shu naturally accepted the kindness . She sat down directly, using the painting as a walking stick and propping it up on the ground . This made Qi Hongwei narrow his eyes a bit .
But then Qi Hongwei quickly curled up the corners of his lips . “It seems the royal princess is a straightforward person, I like to talk to people who are straightforward . ”
Ming Shu didn’t say anything . She stared at the table where the snacks were about to be placed .
Qi Hongwei looked calm, but he was filled with various suspicions .
Then the snacks were served . Ming Shu immediately reached out to take some .
“Royal Princess, aren’t you afraid of me poisoning you?” It is not wise to eat what someone else prepares for you, at someone else’s stronghold .
“It doesn’t matter anyway, you will be responsible for my death . ” Ming Shu took a bite of dessert . “Well, it’s not bad . Give me another two plates . ”
“…” Is she starving in the royal palace?
Qi Hongwei waved to order his people to prepare another two plates of desserts . “The royal princess really impressed me today . ”
“Don’t get too excited, the most impressive is yet to come . ” It’s just the beginning and you’re impressed? Won’t you be scared to death later?
“Is it? I am really looking forward to it . ” Qi Hongwei became more and more confused . He didn’t know what Ming Shu was going to do .
Ming Shu spared some time to ask in the middle of eating: “Where’s Princess Rong Hua?”
Qi Hongwei folded his hands in front of him . “To my knowledge, Princess Rong Hua and the royal princess did not have a harmonious relationship . Why have you been sent to bring the painting here now?”
“Probably because I look good . ” Ming Shu took the opportunity to be narcissistic .
“…” I’m afraid things won’t go well today .
“You know what? That Princess Rong Hua, bring her out and let me have a look . ”
Qi Hongwei gave a superficial smile . “Royal Princess, do you think I would keep Princess Rong Hua here?”
Ming Shu smiled sincerely, though . “So then I’ll ask for two more plates, and you can take the time to bring her over here . ”
“…” Is she delusional or am I? “Royal Princess, this request is beyond my ability…”
Huala—
Ming Shu pinched the middle of the painting . With only a little effort, the painting would be torn in half . She continued to ask smilingly, “Well? What about now?”
Qi Hongwei was shocked into standing up from his chair and watched Ming Shu with a very odd expression .
“You care so much about this painting, but I don’t . I have no mercy for it, and when I ruin it, you won’t even get the pieces . Now, would you please bring Princess Rong Hua to me?”
Qi Hongwei stared at Ming Shu’s hand, fearing that she would accidentally destroy the painting . Then he calmed down and said, “Royal Princess, don’t forget, you are surrounded by my people now . Think carefully, do you think you will be faster than them? May I suggest you cherish your noble life?”
“Wow! You are so powerful! Do you want me to give you an Oscar with a Han Banquet as the prize?”
“…” How should I answer this?
