After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 224: Sleeping in Your Bed

The video call ended, and a sense of gravity filled the atmosphere in the RV.

It was confird that He Qingwen’s situation was caused by a magician, and the indirect connection with her was i Shuiqing.

It could even be boldly assud that the major upheaval in Little Tao’s family was caused by i Shuiqing.

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help tapping the table, "What is she trying to do?"

Those evil magicians from a millennium ago sought immortality, but now, a thousand years later, science has proven that immortality is just a fantasy. Could it be that so are still relentless in their pursuit?

But if you want to retreat to a secluded mountain for ditation, fine. Why harm ordinary people?

"Because they’re used to taking shortcuts."

Jiang Lingxi got up and returned to the chair opposite, eting Shen Yunqing’s gaze. She had no words in response to this explanation.

She had seen too many who wanted shortcuts, not just those magicians deluded by immortality, but even in her past life’s court, there were many such people. Climbing up step by step was too tiring and ti-consuming; by the ti one reached their desired position, they were already old. How long could they hold that position?

And by just flattering a superior or occasionally compromising one’s conscience, they could save years of hard work. Why wouldn’t they?

"He Qingwen must not die."

Although to her, the other was just a stranger, they were both targets of i Shuiqing. He Qingwen was about to be abandoned, while she had just been chosen.

Even if it was just because of this, He Qingwen must stay alive. She needed to understand i Shuiqing’s thods through He Qingwen.

Shen Yunqing nodded without hesitation, selectively forgetting that Wu Jue had just ntioned in the video that He Qingwen was already at death’s door, "Once Wu Jue finishes investigating the hospital, I’ll find a way to move Mrs. He to a hospital in the Imperial City. Wu Jue’s dical skills are profound; he’ll have a way to extend Mrs. He’s life."

Wu Jue, unaware that he had been so readily volunteered by his friend: "..."

Jiang Lingxi was a bit surprised. She had seen Wu Jue take Xu Ling’an’s pulse, guessing he was a traditional doctor, but didn’t expect Shen Yunqing to rate him so highly, "He’s so young, yet so skilled?"

Shen Yunqing replied without batting an eye, "dical skills are not limited by age."

"I recall so magicians can locate family based on blood ties. Is Wu Jue that capable?"

Shen Yunqing: "...He probably can."

Wu Jue, busy gulping down his vegetarian noodles: "..."

Although affected by the video which dampened her mood, Jiang Lingxi still finished the al in her lunchbox.

Looking out the car window at the scorching sun, she wasn’t keen to get off.

"You can rest a bit longer. The call sheet lists the start ti this afternoon as two o’clock. We can head over at one thirty and that’s enough."

Jiang Lingxi glanced over and saw Shen Yunqing patting a bed beside the sofa.

It looked much more comfortable than the folding bed she used on set, and she didn’t really want to refuse.

"If I take the bed, what about you?"

"I’m not sleepy. It’s just the right ti to handle so work."

Jiang Lingxi followed Shen Yunqing’s finger, spotting a silver-gray laptop on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Alright, be busy, and rember to wake when it’s ti."

Jiang Lingxi moved to the bed, took off her shoes, and lay down contentedly.

After all, it wasn’t needed by soone, why not use it?

As soon as she lay down, she found that the bed was not only more comfortable than her folding bed, but also rivaled her bed at ho. The pillow was even her favorite cylindrical kind.

If she had such an RV, she wouldn’t need to stay in hotels anymore.

She thought of renting one when heading to the northwest for an outdoor shoot!

The thought flitted by, and she was already asleep.

Shen Yunqing paused his typing, glancing at the bed less than a ter away.

The air conditioning in the RV was a bit cool. The blanket Jiang Lingxi initially pressed under her was just a thin one covering her.

But after sleeping soundly and cooling down, she felt cold. A thin blanket wasn’t enough, so she instinctively reached for the blanket underneath her.

After a few tugs, a light and warm blanket gently draped over her, wrapping her snugly.

Only then did Jiang Lingxi stop tugging at the blanket, satisfied as she drifted back into a deep sleep.

Shen Yunqing closed the cabinet holding the spare blanket, turned, and his gaze fell on her little face nestled in the blanket.

The eyes that commanded awe from nurous ministers in a past life were now peacefully closed in deep sleep before him.

Wu Jue once asked him, was there any regret in doing this?

For the lively scene before him now, he never regretted!

He stood by the bed for a long while before quietly leaving.

"I wonder whose RV this is. It’s obviously our usual parking spot."

"Alright," She Man frowned and interrupted her assistant’s complaints, "It’s an unclaid spot, naturally whoever arrives first gets it."

Yet, she was drawn to slightly raise her sunshade to glance over at the white RV.

Among the RVs she’d seen, it wasn’t the largest but was very exquisite. With no company logos on it, it indicated it wasn’t company-provided but privately purchased by the artist.

Recently, many crews were filming in this film city; likely, it belonged to so heavyweight artist.

Just as she withdrew her gaze, she heard her assistant exclaim softly, "Oh, soone’s coming out of the RV."

Instinctively, she looked again and was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the heavyweight artist she thought was actually from her own crew.

"That’s the Mr. Shen!"

She Man sighed helplessly, "I saw; you don’t need to remind ."

If anyone in their crew were the most mysterious, she would say it was this Mr. Shen.

No prior information in the entertainnt circle, not even a personal account, debuting as the male lead. She even noticed that Director Wei treated him politely, unlike his usual deanor with subordinates, more like facing an investor.

No table reads, not sticking with the crew, coming and going freely, even after filming for so many days, she felt the crew was accommodating the schedule of their male lead.

But how could that be? Even the biggest stars must follow the director’s shooting plan unless you’re both the director and the lead!

Yet she had to admit, in his role as Pri Minister Shen, there was truly nothing to critique.

Even Jiang Lingxi, who rarely had any NGs, was dragged into NGs by other actors, but the lead’s scenes, never NG once, causing admiration.

No wonder everyone in the crew said Mr. Shen was Pri Minister Shen himself.

Of course, so also said Jiang Lingxi was the Empress herself, which made her want to laugh. How could an actor be compared to the great Empress Yuanzhao!

"Another one’s coming out, oh my goodness, it’s Jiang Lingxi! Why are they both in the RV? Whose RV is it?"

Her assistant’s exclamation snapped She Man back to reality, and she looked up to see that Mr. Shen was holding a sunshade over Jiang Lingxi, who had just gotten off the RV.
