004 “Rebirth of the Grand Favor (H, 1v1)” Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Fear

The rain was still falling, but the rain on Shen Qi’s head stopped.Someone held an umbrella for her. Shen Qi turned her head. Before she could see Liu Yue holding the umbrella, the first thing that caught her eye was the stern face of King Xuan Zhonghua.

Shen Qi’s eyes flashed, and he lowered his head to bow to him. Listening to his own heartbeat, he shouted: “Your Majesty.”

Zhong Hua’s voice sounded a little hoarse: “Why are you kneeling here?”

Why is he here?Didn’t he go to find treasures for Su Lianxue and come back in the middle of the month?Why is it different from the previous life?

“Miss Su thought this slave had taken her rouge.” Shen Qi was in a state of confusion, but her tone was extremely calm. She spoke truthfully, but her words were also clever. She neither admitted that she had stolen Su Lianxue’s rouge, nor did she say clearly that Su Lianxue was unjustly making things difficult for her.

Shen Qi finally learned from the losses he suffered overtly and covertly in his previous life. So what if Zhong Zhonghua knew that Su Lianxue framed her?The person he loved was Su Lianxue, not Shen Qi. In the end, it was she who endured hardship and punishment, and it was she who was disgusted.

There was silence for a while, Shen Qi lowered her eyes, raindrops dripped from her eyelashes, as if she was crying.

“Get up.” Zhong Hua’s voice was a little bitter.

“Yes.” Zhong Zhonghua is her master, and any words Zhong Zhonghua says are orders. If he asks her to get up, she will get up.Although he was confused and frightened, Shen Qi still bowed to Shen Chonghua and stood up.

But she had been kneeling on the cobblestones for so long that her knees were stiff and painful, and she couldn’t straighten up at all, let alone stand up.But Zhong Zhonghua asked her to stand up. This was the order. Shen Qi gritted his teeth and held up his thighs with both hands. He endured the pain and tried to straighten his knees. Shen Qi thought he could do it, but…

There was a sudden tightening around the waist, and before Shen Qi could react, Zhong Zhonghua had already pulled her into his arms.

“Your Highness…?” The one who spoke was Liuyue holding an umbrella.Shen Qi, who was held in Zhong Zhonghua’s arms, stared at him with wide eyes, disbelief and confusion, with the same shock on his face.

“Go to Fanghua Garden.” After saying that, Zhong Zhonghua lifted his legs and carried Shen Qi towards Fanghua Garden.

Fanghua Garden is the most gorgeous and exquisite courtyard in the entire Prince Xuan’s Mansion, except Suyuan Pavilion where Prince Xuan lives.Among them, pavilions, pavilions, lotus ponds and water pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner.Surrounded by promenades, winding paths lead to secluded areas, and each plant and tree has its own unique charm. The promenades in the garden extend from all sides, with rich depth of field like a freehand landscape.

But Shen Qi had no intention of appreciating the uniqueness and elegance of the changing scene.She didn’t understand why Zhong Hua brought her to Fanghua Garden. Isn’t this the courtyard prepared for Princess Xuan?Every flower, every tree, every step inside was designed by Zhong Hua himself.

Shen Qi was held in Zhonghua’s arms, and she didn’t dare to move or raise her eyes. As a servant, she naturally didn’t dare to put her arms around his neck, and grabbed her belt in a helpless manner.

She heard his strong heartbeat and her own messy heartbeat.

Liu Yue rushed to open the door before Shen Zhonghua kicked it down. Shen Qi was carried into the house by Zhong Zhonghua and placed on a carved mahogany beauty.Then, Zhong Zhonghua stretched out his hand and placed it on the tie around her waist, about to take off her clothes.

The humiliation of being torn apart from his previous life suddenly came into his mind, and Shen Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground with a pale complexion.She didn’t know what Zhong Hua was going to do, let alone where she had offended him. She just begged for mercy out of habit: “My lord, forgive me…”

She is afraid of him.

Shen Qi was lying on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly. Naturally, she didn’t know that Zhong Zhonghua’s clenched fists in front of her were also trembling.
