idle mistress

Chapter 209 Waiting for the Opportunity
Soon, Hao Guanhua bid farewell and left.

Shen Qing pretended to be nonchalant, reading and sleeping in as usual, but she kept thinking about one thing in her mind.

In the evening, King Ling came back.

Recently, no matter how busy he is, he will find time to come back and have dinner with her.But he never mentioned to her that he was about to lead the army.

During the meal, she told him that she wanted to eat shrimp.

While the man was patiently peeling the shrimp for her, she stared at the badge tied around his waist in a daze.

Before, I never paid attention to this thing, never thought, but it really did.

At night, she watched him take off his waist card and casually throw it on the bedside... She couldn't help but sigh, this man is really defenseless against her...

For two days in a row, all was well.

She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Three days later, Shen Qing quietly added something to the incense burner. This thing was colorless and odorless, and had the same effect as Mihun San.

As the maid came over and lit the spices, the scent of ambergris permeated the whole room, this is a high-quality spice, only the royal family is worthy of using it, and Shen Qing knew that this ambergris was no longer pure.

And she took the antidote in advance.

That night, King Ling fell asleep with his arms around her as usual without noticing, and he slept very soundly.

Until the sound of gentle breathing came from next to her ear, the sleeping woman opened her eyes, and she quickly left the man's embrace.

Shen Qing didn't put on any disguise, just put on her usual clothes, and walked out with a man's badge.

The two guard maids also fell to the ground in the outer room under the influence of the medicine.

She walked out of Yeyun Courtyard smoothly all the way, but when she just stepped out of the threshold, she was stopped by a man.

"Miss Shen, where are you going?"

Shen Qing recognized that this was the hidden guard next to King Ling, she casually took out the token in her hand, and handed it to the person who came: "This is given to me by His Highness King Ling, I am going to do one for His Highness now." thing."

The dark guard took a look at the badge and recognized that it was indeed the badge of the King of Ling. He quickly knelt down and bowed, but he still persisted and asked: "Miss, can you tell me what you need to do in the middle of the night?"

"Your Highness asked me to go at this time, of course there is his reason, if you are curious, you can ask him yourself."

Her words were calm and her expression was calm, but she didn't look like she was lying. For a moment, the hidden guard couldn't make up his mind.

Shen Qing knew that he didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he put away his badge, bypassed him, and walked forward quickly.

She came to the prison camp alone, and showed King Ling's badge: "His Royal Highness orders, release Amu Daxiu immediately."

Seeing the order is like seeing a person, the guards of the prison camp did not suspect him, and quickly went in and released the person.

In the night, the person imprisoned in the water prison walked slowly forward. He was seriously injured and his steps faltered.

After stepping out of the heavily fortified prison, Mu Xiu stopped, he could hardly believe his eyes.

I... was released just like that?

He looked around, trying to find something?
Seeing this, Shen Qing in the darkness wanted to go out several times, but just as she moved her feet forward, she backed away.

In the end, she still didn't appear in front of this man; she just silently watched him walk forward step by step in the dark until he disappeared in front of her eyes.

After everything was done, Shen Qing returned to Yeyun Courtyard as if nothing had happened.

Sitting in front of the couch and waiting, she waited quietly, and when the man woke up, she took the initiative to hand back the badge to him, and confessed that she had already taken his badge to the prison to release Mu Xiu.

"You drugged me?" he asked her, not for the first time.

She nodded: "Yes, the drug you gave will not harm your body, but it can make you lose all senses." When she said this, her tone was as normal as if she had just poured someone a glass of water.

"How did you get out?"

She replied truthfully: "I have your badge, they dare not stop me."

Zhao Yan smiled coldly: "Shen Qing, Amuda is seriously injured and is in my territory, Zhao Yan, do you think he can leave?" He glanced at her, took the waist card in her hand, and said with a serious face. Once you get on the couch, you have to go out.

Shen Qing knew that what he said was true, as long as he cast a net, Mu Xiu would be arrested again soon, and his fate would only be worse.

Now, Shen Qing became impatient, and hugged his waist from behind.

"Let him live, I beg you." She begged him with earnest words.

King Ling stopped in his tracks, looked down at the thin white hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and the trembling body clinging to him.

He held her two wrists with both hands, and with a little force, the woman's tightly clasped fingers immediately broke the defense.

The man didn't even look at her, and walked out.

"Zhao Yan..."

Shen Qing shouted at him:
"As long as you are willing to spare his life, I will do whatever you want."

The man's footsteps stopped for a moment, and then he walked away without looking back...

She freed a felon from prison with no blame and no punishment.

Shen Qing was served with good food and soup every day as usual, and even the doctor came to ask her for a peace pulse twice a day as usual.

The only difference is that King Ling hasn't come back since he left that day, maybe he came back, but he didn't appear in front of Shen Qing.

Did he let Mu Xiu go?

Did they set up a net and search the whole city?
Or have people caught and are about to beheaded?
Shen Qing, who was enjoying the comfort, felt uneasy in her heart.

Shen Qing sat on the window sill, watching several maidservants sitting around and chatting leisurely. In the distance, two squirrels were chasing each other on the tree.

Everything in front of me...maybe the calm before the storm.

Shen Qing originally thought that she would not care about it. Before she did this, she had already risked her life and death.

However, she soon discovered that habit is really a terrible thing. It's fine during the day, just in a daze, reading a book and it's over.

At night, when she was lying alone on the big soft couch, she couldn't help but miss the man's embrace, the smell of the man's body, and the man's arm that belonged to her.

Once upon a time, she felt that sleeping with her arm on her head was a kind of torture for herself.

Now, she is resting on a soft pillow, but she often lies there tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

Sometimes the body is so exhausted that it falls asleep, only to wake up again soon after.

The maidservants serving close to him appeared to be the same as before, but Shen Qing was still half asleep a few times, and still heard a few people secretly discussing outside.

It was said that she had conflicts with him.

It was also said that he was tired of her.

There are all kinds of guesses.

Until five days later, when Shen Qing was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and thinking wildly, the bed was thrown away, and a familiar figure followed.
