Chapter 143 She Doesn't Know How Much He Loves Him
Chapter 143 She doesn’t know how distressed he is
She couldn't resist his strength and leaned back on the table behind her.
There was just a sound of "ding, ding, ding, clang", and all the cups, plates, and bowls on the table fell to the ground, leaving dust on them.
Shen Muchi had lost his mind and squeezed her neck tightly with one hand. Mu Qingchao could even hear the clear sound of bones interlacing in his ears.
Mu Qingchao's eyes were wide open, and a feeling of suffocation made her feel scared.
She grabbed his arm with both hands, trying with all her strength to get some breathing space for herself.
But her little strength is very little.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." she shouted desperately, her voice weak and hoarse.
Shen Muchi's eyes were red at this moment, but when he heard her calling him, he was slightly stunned.
He heard her ask: "Your Majesty really wants to kill me?"
"What? You regret it?"
He had clearly released half of his strength, but he still asked her stiffly. What he was thinking in his heart was, beg for mercy, beg for mercy. As long as she is willing to beg him, even if he says that she is wrong, he will let her go.
But she still looked at him with her eyes open.
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that I have a younger sister in the Su family."
Well, Mu Qingchao didn't want to take advantage of Mu Yin's marriage at first, but in this situation, he had to do it as a last resort.
"Oh, there are also minerals in Wuya Mountain."
Mu Qingchao felt the pressure on her neck loosen little by little. She took a few deep breaths before she could continue to speak.
"Your Majesty may not know that the mineral property has always been in my name.
I remember that the war between the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty is tense now, and the black oil from Wuya Mountain is a crucial thing, right?
If Your Majesty kills me now, then my people will never sell black oil to Nanming tomorrow.
Your Majesty, think about it, if he turns around and cooperates with Northern Qi.
hehe……"
She didn't say the next words, but it was self-evident.
"you……"
Shen Muchi never expected that she would actually say such words.
"You threaten me?" he said.
At this moment, Mu Qingchao had gradually recovered. She climbed up from the table. She was still a little exhausted and stood up slowly, her face still flushed due to lack of oxygen.
However, those eyes were as stubborn as ever.
She looked at him and asked: "Yes, so what?"
"Your Majesty, you are the first to be unkind. No wonder I am unjust. I never have any delusions. I just want a safe and stable life. I just want to survive.
Why, over and over again, do you want to deprive even this little bit of rights?"
No one knew how desperate Mu Qingchao felt when he said these words.
From her rebirth to now, she has never had any great revenge.
She never thought about revenge, she just wanted to live, just live...
But she has never had a peaceful life, first the Zhong family, and then the princess of Zhenguo. Now, just when she thought she could finally live a peaceful life for two days, Shen Mu came belatedly.
He clearly didn't have any affection for her before, but now he suddenly changed his mind.
She even wondered if God had intentions to make her life miserable?
It's because God is unkind, it's because the world doesn't tolerate her, it's not Mu Qingchao's fault!
Okay, if you are cruel, then she will be even crueler.
After all, it’s just a life. If you want to fight, fight to the end.
Mu Qingchao slowly raised her head, her eyes becoming firmer and colder. She looked at Shen Muchi and said in a slow tone: "From now on, if Your Majesty wants to live in peace, just pretend that nothing happened.
We do not offend the river.
If Your Majesty is determined to embarrass me, then I am not afraid, I will always risk my life to fight with Your Majesty to the death."
She can do what she says.
At least she still has one trump card to use - Xu Meiren.
Xu Jinglin's foundation in the court was gradually becoming more stable, and she believed that even if she fell, she would at least be able to skin Shen Muchi.
This was how she dared to challenge Shen Muchi.
"you……"
Shen Muchi was holding back anger in his heart.
He took a step forward, but paused suddenly, hiding one hand in his sleeve and clenching it tightly.
He was silent for a long time.
After a long time, I heard the sound of his teeth gnashing.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
He said three good words in succession: "Mu Qingchao... the Queen Mother... you are really capable. I underestimated you."
But he felt cold at heart.
How else is he going to treat her?
He was so close to cutting his heart out to her, yet she secretly kept such a tactic to guard against him?
Holding a sincere heart, someone threw it to the ground and trampled it hard.
How could he not be discouraged?
She thought he was afraid of breaking up with her?
No, it was because he suddenly softened his heart just now and could no longer harden his heart.
"It's you who are great, it's me who lost..." After a moment, he said these words feebly.
He passed by Mu Qingchao and strode outside Chaoyun Palace.
As soon as he left, Mu Qingchao breathed a sigh of relief, but his steps softened and his whole body slumped toward the ground.
She looked at the mess in the palace and felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Fortunately, fortunately, she won the bet just now.
She bet that Shen Muchi was sensible enough and would not bring down the entire Shen family to death just because of one woman.
Sure enough, she always knew him so well.
But now that I think about it, I can't help but feel scared. She sat alone in the house for a long time, from dusk to dark.
She then stood up slowly while holding on to the table.
When Jiang Bo came in the evening, she couldn't help but step forward and hug him.
She is usually tough, strong, and cold-blooded, but when she sees Jiang Bo, she can't help but become weak.
"Why did you come here?" she asked him resentfully.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bo could feel her shaking slightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Ah?" When Mu Qingchao was asked this question, he subconsciously hid it: "No...it's okay..."
She took a step back, but was grabbed by Jiang Bo: "What's wrong with your neck?"
The high-collared clothes she wore specially covered her neck, but a little bit of her blush was exposed. When Jiang Bo pulled her clothes down, he could see a circle of shocking strangulation marks.
His pupils trembled.
"What's going on here?"
"Hey, ah, that..." She laughed and laughed, but she was still defeated.
"Yes...Shen Muchi."
"Your Majesty?" He knew.
When he saw him taking her away that day, he knew that the emperor's purpose must not be simple.
"Okay, you guessed it right, Shen Muchi does have evil intentions towards me."
Mu Qingchao responded, looking up and seeing his brows tightening, she thought he was jealous, so she quickly said: "But don't worry, he can't force me.
I am no longer the Mu Qing Dynasty that my predecessor used to control me, and he has to think carefully if he wants to touch me."
She deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, but she listened to Jiang Bo's words.
"Queen Mother, I'm really sorry for you."
"Huh?" Mu Qingchao did not react.
But he touched the scar on her neck with one hand and said distressedly: "It's really hard on you."
How much more hardship will she have to endure?
The Zhong family, Concubine Rong, and now Shen Muchi, they will never be able to fight off enemies, they will never be able to let go of their guard, they will be on tenterhooks all their lives, and they will be fighting between life and death all their lives.
