Chapter 442: Chapter 440: Falling into Water_1

But Wei Qing had fewer scruples:

"Xia Ningxing you..."

Just as she was about to continue her ruckus, Director Su slammed the table, his face stern, and lost his temper outright, "Wei Qing, have you had enough!"

Even if she was the heiress of the Wei family, she couldn’t just wreak havoc without restraint.

Since the director had spoken up, Wei Qing, though reluctant, still had to give him some face.

But deep down, she despised Xia Ningxing even more.

If it weren’t for her, how could she possibly be reprimanded by the director?

Wei Qing forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and picked up the wine glass next to her to drink.

It was only after she finished drinking that she realized something was amiss.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t this the highly alcoholic drink she had prepared for Xia Ningxing!

"Blegh!!!"

Wei Qing’s stomach immediately turned turbulent from the burning alcohol, and she hastened to cover her mouth, frantically running towards the restroom.

"Qing!" Seeing his beloved suddenly feeling unwell, Song Ze put down his chopsticks and hurriedly chased after her in concern.

By the time Wei Qing reached the restroom, she had started to vomit violently; thereafter, an assistant brought her a whole bunch of hangover medicine, and only after drinking it did she start to feel a bit better.

"Xia Ningxing!"

She cursed the name through gritted teeth as if wishing to tear her to pieces.

Shortly after she finished, Xia Ningxing, who had just left the dinner gathering, came to the restroom to wash her hands.

Seeing her, Wei Qing felt an overwhelming sense of hatred, the malevolence in her eyes almost oozing out.

"Xia Ningxing, you just wait and see!"

She glared at her, growling every word deliberately.

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but frown and replied with three words, "You’re so stupid."

"I’m stupid? You dare say I’m stupid? How am I stupid?" Wei Qing exploded upon hearing this.

Xia Ningxing was exasperated: "Why do you remind your opponent before declaring war?"

"!!!"

It did seem true!

Wasn’t she blatantly preparing the enemy?

Wei Qing thought hard for a way to remedy the situation, and finally came up with one, "Then just pretend I never said anything!"

"..."

Xia Ningxing was left speechless.

This woman clearly lacked intelligence, so where did she get the courage to oppose her?

Focusing on acting and becoming a great star wasn’t good enough for her, she had to clash with Xia Ningxing.

Had she not already left, Xia Ningxing would have really liked to remind her that those who had opposed her in the past either died, were injured, or ended up directly in prison!

But then she thought again, there was no point in telling such a thick-headed, brain-dead person.

Xia Ningxing decided to just let her be.

In fact, Xia Ningxing’s guess was not wrong; Wei Qing loathed Xia Ningxing to death and certainly would not let her off easily.

And now, she was plotting in her room again.

"Tomorrow we’ll be shooting the boat scene. Yes, that’s it, you hide underwater, and flip the boat that Xia Ningxing is on, so she falls into the river..."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Qing immediately felt much better, even though her stomach still burned painfully from the alcohol.

The weather was just turning to spring, with the chill lingered, and falling into cold water now could result, in the best case, in a cold or fever, and in the worst case, lead to infertility due to internal chill.

Upon this thought, Wei Qing couldn’t help but hum a tune, looking forward to the day of retribution that was to come tomorrow.

The next day, the first scene of "The Legend of Ming Consort".

Action!

Xia Ningxing, in her Qing Dynasty princess costume, was sitting in a small boat, rippling through the Lotus Pond.

Spring is not a season for lotus flowers to bloom, but the crew had arranged some realistic imitations that one would think were real if not looked at closely.

At this moment, in the stunning beauty of the lotus pond, Palace Attendants were pushing paddles through the water, creating ripples after ripples, while the young girl, like a sprite, rested her cheek on her hand, gazing up at the blue sky, her face full of sorrow.

The reason for the girl’s sorrow was because she would be sent off for a diplomatic marriage tomorrow, to wed a king she had never met. From one deep palace, she would leap to another, living a never-ending day of competing for favor.

What’s more, the man she loved was still in the palace, serving as a guard—the character played by Ji Haichuan.

Having to leave home and marry another, the girl couldn’t help shedding tears, filled with pain, despair, and helplessness.

She was a princess, and an envoy marriage was an inescapable fate. If she dared to flee, her mother’s entire family would have no chance of survival.

Unable to escape, unable to avoid, she could only face the difficulty head-on!

Xia Ningxing stopped crying, her eyes gradually beginning to show determination.

The camera closely followed Xia Ningxing, providing a close-up of her face.

At this point, Wei Qing, playing the second female lead, also arrived.

She was also playing a princess and would be sent off with Xia Ningxing’s character for the envoy marriage.

When the two met, after exchanging a few lines of dialogue, Xia Ningxing distinctly felt there was someone under her boat.

Her hearing was exceptionally sensitive, so she could hear subtle sounds that ordinary people couldn’t.

Thus, she could not only detect someone under the boat but could also deduce from the sound of the water waves that this person seemed to be trying to flip her boat, making her fall into the water.

This was the early spring season, with temperatures only in the single digits!

If she fell into the river, she was sure to get frostbite!

Xia Ningxing felt a surge of anger and, after stabilizing herself in the boat, she glared at Wei Qing.

Within the entire crew, the only person who bore a grudge against her was Wei Qing. If it wasn’t her doing, Xia Ningxing would twist off her own head in apology.

Xia Ningxing was about to announce there was someone under the water, but somehow, the person under the boat suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that the person in black, unable to flip the boat overhead, thought they had got the wrong boat.

Wei Qing had even told him that she would be filming on the lake with Xia Ningxing, except that her boat, carrying four people, would be very heavy, while Xia Ningxing’s would have just her and the boatman.

So, this very heavy boat must belong to Wei Qing.

And the one beside it must be the one carrying Xia Ningxing.

Therefore!

The person in black moved under Wei Qing’s boat and with just a little effort, flipped the boat over.

"...You unloved princess you..." Wei Qing was in the middle of exchanging lines with Xia Ningxing when she suddenly felt the boat wobble.

The two playing Palace Attendants also shook a little.

Xia Ningxing immediately realized that the person from under her boat must have made a mistake and moved to Wei Qing’s boat.

"Be careful!" Seeing that the boat was about to topple, Xia Ningxing almost instinctively grabbed the two female extras playing the Palace Attendants and pulled them onto her own boat.

Wei Qing only meant to harm her, but these two extras were innocent and should not be involved!

Moreover, they were both girls, and if they fell into the cold water during their period, they would certainly suffer from gynecological problems!

As for the boatman, a rough, burly man skilled in winter swimming, there was no need to worry about him.

In the blink of an eye, the small boat carrying Wei Qing had already flipped over!

With a loud splash!

Wei Qing plunged into the icy cold waters of the Lotus Pond.
