Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 122: Chapter 116: Rescue

This is a beautiful female with a veil, as if surrounded by holy and gentle light, like moonlight descending, breaking through layers of confusion, illuminating everything.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t see what she looked like before losing consciousness and fainting to the ground.

”Your Highness, how should we deal with this person? Leave him here or take him away?”

The male behind the woman asked.

Shen Qingli looked at the fainted Xue Yinzhou on the ground, a faint smile tugged at her lips, ”Since we encountered him, it must be fate, let’s take him with us and give him the best treatment.”

”Yes!”

The Beastman guards took the unconscious Xue Yinzhou back to the carriage.

Their trip was to search for a rare resource, and even the Princess personally came. The Imperial Palace provided a top-tier guard team, with Beastman levels above Sixth Rank, yet even so, they lost more than half!

Now that they’ve found what they wanted, they no longer stayed at Acid Fog Swamp and quickly returned to the Imperial City.

The Snake Clan Beastman they rescued was placed in the Princess’s palace.

Shen Qingli looked at the stunningly beautiful man lying on the bed, his silver-white long hair flowing like moonlight, his face cool and flawless, his skin pale and jade-like, his strength extremely high, just one step away from Ninth Rank!

This was her destined Beast Husband.

She was very satisfied and fond of him; being able to tame such a marvel as her bedfellow would make him her most handy weapon.

Just as she was in a good mood, her subordinate reported from outside.

After hearing his words, Shen Qingli’s face changed slightly, and she coldly cursed, ”A bunch of useless people, that imposter has survived so many attempts to kill her, what use do I have for you?”

”It’s my fault for being ineffective; does Your Highness want to send another batch over?”

”Forget it, there’s a banquet tomorrow, and I don’t want some unlucky thing to ruin my mood at such an important occasion.”

Shen Qingli picked up the exquisite dress in her hands, her face gloomy, having sent so many top assassins over, yet that imposter now even lost her spiritual power, her appearance is coarse and ugly, and her Beast Husband avoids her, let alone protects her, how could she possibly evade this?

Shen Qingli looked at the silver-haired man unconscious on the bed, deep thoughts passing in her eyes, a smile tugged at her lips.

No matter, whether that ugly wretch is dead or not, it doesn’t affect her affairs.

The things she wants, she’ll take back one by one.

The next day, the Imperial Palace was decorated with lights, the roads covered with red carpets, bustling with servants coming and going.

A month later, it was the official enthronement ceremony of the Future Empire’s successor.

Upon hearing the good news, various empires sent envoys with lavish gifts.

Today was merely an announcement banquet, and the gifts brought by envoys filled the Princess Mansion to the brim.

The Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince also came to attend the banquet.

Outsiders witnessing the harmonious family scene praised it endlessly.

Compared to that imposter from years back, this felt like a true family.

Especially the Princess Shen Qingli, emerging noble and beautiful, mesmerizing the single male beasts present, eyes full of fervent love, hoping to be chosen by the princess and taken into her mansion.

Some recalled the imposter Shen Tang and compared her to the true princess Shen Qingli, seeing her as the ugly duckling living in a swan’s nest.

She enjoyed so many years of luxury in vain, not appreciating it, but instead slandering the true princess, ultimately being exiled to the polluted lands; she deserved it!

Poor for those handsome and strong Beast Husbands of Shen Tang.

That imposter refused to dissolve the marriage, dragging them down with her, exiled to a godforsaken place, their hearts filled with extreme resentment towards her.

An envoy suddenly asked, ”I heard Princess Shen Tang finished her service; why hasn’t she shown up today?”

”Heh, does she count as a princess? Her identity has long been revoked, she’s just a commoner now, how could she have the right to return to the Imperial Palace?”

”But the Princess Shen Tang did grow up beside Your Majesty, and even without a blood relation, there should be some sentiment, right? Now that she’s redeemed herself, shouldn’t she be brought back?”

”Indeed, to abandon someone just like that, it’s rather heartless, making past family ties seem like a joke.”

Some were genuinely curious, some watching the show, and others stirring the pot, always mentioning Shen Tang deliberately or accidentally.

Sitting in high places, the Emperor and Empress had unpleasant expressions hearing these discussions.

Shen Qingli’s face darkened slightly, silently cursing these ignorant envoys!

Some countries didn’t have good relations with the Night Glow Empire despite sending lavish gifts, secretly coming to test the waters, eager to stir trouble at such a critical moment.

Shen Qingli thought of something, a smile tugged at her lips, and she turned to the Emperor and Empress, ”Father and Mother, the envoys are right; since Sister Shen Tang redeemed herself, we should send someone to bring her back to the Imperial Palace.”

”Qingli, I know you’re kind-hearted, but this scourge sought to kill you back then; if we bring her back, aren’t we inviting trouble!” the Empress softly rebuked.

Shen Qingli showed a sorrowful expression, ”This past year, Sister Shen Tang suffered greatly in the polluted lands. I think she must have realized her mistakes; I’ve long forgiven her. If she wishes to return, let’s bring her back.”

Seeing the Emperor and Empress displeased, Shen Qingli gently continued, ”No matter what, Shen Tang is my sister, who accompanied you for many years; a month later is my official enthronement ceremony, I wish all my family could be by my side, only then will it be complete.”

Upon hearing her words, the Emperor and Empress, initially displeased, were now filled with compassion and guilt.

Originally, they didn’t want to bring back that imposter, whose looks and talent fell far short of Shen Qingli, continually embarrassing them, but with so many foreign envoys watching, neglecting her would cause tongues to wag, leading outsiders to accuse the Royal Family of heartlessness.

The Empress stroked Shen Qingli’s hand, sighing, ”You, child, truly are too kind-hearted!”

Having finished speaking, she also pretended a loving attitude, ”Qingli is right; Shen Tang is her sister, a daughter who accompanied us for many years. I’ll send someone to bring her back for your enthronement ceremony.”

Shen Qingli showed a shy and gentle smile, while internally scoffing; watching that imposter witness her rightful position being snatched away would likely kill her with rage.

Foreign envoys noticing this began discussing, praising the Royal Family’s enduring old ties, truly kind and gentle.

The Emperor and Empress slightly relaxed upon hearing, saying nothing more.

Shen Qingli fondled the wine glass, sarcasm tugging at her lips.

That imposter now turned ugly; when she goes mad at the banquet, letting foreign envoys see her repulsive obese appearance, it’ll surely be a disgrace, becoming a laughing stock.

She eagerly awaited the spectacle.

After the banquet ended.

The subordinate reported, ”Your Highness, the male beast you rescued has awakened.”

Shen Qingli’s heart leapt with joy, her smile gentle, ”Mm, I’ll go and see him now.”
