"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 105 Who should be granted a marriage?

"The person is asleep and is fine for now."

The imperial physician's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone present.

Qin Su stood not far away and did not approach. Upon hearing this, she also prepared to turn around and leave.

However, she was stopped after taking only two steps: "Miss Qin, please wait!"

Qin Su stopped in her tracks: "Eunuch Li?"

"We are very grateful for Miss Qin's help today!"

As he spoke, he solemnly bowed to Qin Su.

Qin Su paused for a moment, then stepped aside, saying, "Your Excellency, there's no need for such formality. His Highness is my friend, and I was merely doing my bit. Besides,"

She paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "If His Highness himself is unwilling, I cannot persuade him otherwise. I think he doesn't want this either."

Eunuch Li had initially felt a pang of jealousy at Qin Su's use of the word "friend," thinking to himself, "What kind of 'friends' can hug each other?"

He was speechless when the girl said the second half of her sentence.

From the girl's earnest and focused eyes, it was clear that she truly believed it, but...

With just a slight blink of his eyes, Eunuch Li could see the guards and palace servants who had died tragically, and the stench of blood seemed to linger even now.

The young girl in front of him knew nothing, and he couldn't blame her for being too "naive." He could only smile and say, "Miss Qin is right."

Sensing the other party's perfunctory attitude, Qin Su's eyes flickered slightly, vaguely feeling that there was something she might have overlooked.

She then stopped insisting on conveying the idea that "tyrants aren't actually that bad" to those around her, and instead changed the subject: "I only managed to stop things temporarily today. According to His Highness, he doesn't intend to let it go easily."

Eunuch Li's heart skipped a beat, and his face visibly darkened.

Qin Su explained, "My father-in-law misunderstood. He meant that we need to find the real culprit behind this."

"That's natural."

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the man was going to kill someone again after waking up, but now that he was catching the murderer...

"Miss Qin, rest assured, we will definitely investigate today's matter thoroughly. Those scum who dared to extend their reach into the Eastern Palace are simply courting death!"

Qin Su was taken aback: "This... is the Eastern Palace?"

Seeing the girl's surprised expression, Eunuch Li realized that he had accidentally overdone it!
"This, actually..."

Qin Su tilted her head: "Speaking of which, the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince really look alike. I even mistook them for each other when we first met..."

"Since they're all brothers, they're bound to look alike."

Even the shrewd and calculating Eunuch Li was sweating profusely: "I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. Miss Qin, please make yourself at home."

Watching Eunuch Li's slightly panicked back, Qin Su curled the corners of her lips.
-
"No, why are you running away? Can't you just use the same reason as before?"

Ye Fan's look at him as if he were a fool instantly brought Eunuch Li to his senses: "That's right, why did I run away?"

He recalled the situation and couldn't help but shake his head: "You don't understand. When I saw Miss Qin, I knew that lying to her would definitely be exposed. My first reaction was to run away..."

Ye Fan looked at the old eunuch with a complicated expression, too lazy to expose him: "Alright, alright, what you say is right, sir."

How could a pretty, delicate young girl possibly have the ability to see through people's hearts?
If she were truly that capable, why hasn't the Prime Minister's mansion been thrown into chaos?
Chu Jiang woke up in the evening. At that time, Eunuch Li also used "special means" to find something out of the mouth of that suicidal little eunuch.

The result was unexpected—

It wasn't some political enemy of the Crown Prince's faction, or some mortal enemy of the Seventh Prince—you could call them mortal enemies—but rather, it was the Ninth Princess who, after being frightened that day, was dissatisfied and bribed a eunuch in the Eastern Palace to investigate Qin Su.

But who knew their luck would be so bad? They ran into the tyrant's return right away, and then... then the entire Eastern Palace almost suffered because of him! Chu Jiang was so angry that he got up to cause trouble for Chu Ling'er almost the moment he learned the truth.

He only threatened her a couple of times, and she actually dared to attack him. She's asking for it, so she shouldn't blame him!

Seeing the man poised to leave in a menacing manner, Qin Su quickly grabbed him, saying, "You promised me you wouldn't act impulsively."

Chu Jiang gripped her wrist and sneered, "This isn't impulsive; it's what I should do."

Qin Su: ...Why don't you put away that terrifying smile of yours first?

"I don't care, you're not allowed to go. You promised you wouldn't lay a hand on me, otherwise you're lying." When she couldn't persuade him, she simply resorted to being unreasonable.

It wasn't that Qin Su was some kind of saintly, innocent girl who wanted to help that brainless princess; it was simply that she understood the tyrant's personality all too well.

Going there now might result in getting blood all over your face again. Even if you are stopped and no one dies, what if you have an attack due to excessive emotional fluctuations?
She cannot continue hypnotizing, especially in a situation that can be avoided.

Chu Jiang pinched the little girl's face and said fiercely, "Don't try to fool me. I only promised you I wouldn't kill anyone, I never said I wouldn't use my hands!"

How can severing a hand or a foot be considered murder?

Qin Su: ……

"No matter what, you're not allowed to go!"

The moment the girl lunged at him, Chu Jiang's cold smile froze on his face.

Her soft, warm body pressed against his chest, leaving his mind blank. The surging anger he had just felt seemed to vanish in an instant.

"Get away from me!"

His ears turned uncontrollably red, and it took him a great deal of willpower to pull the person out of his arms: "What kind of behavior is this!"

The little girl blushed when he said that, and looked at him with her big, watery eyes: "Wasn't it you who acted impulsively first? If you had calmed down, I wouldn't have..." Her voice trailed off, becoming as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Chu Jiang: ...

My neck started to turn red too.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" he said gruffly, though deep down he still preferred to give Chu Ling'er a good beating.

"I think……"

Qin Su's beautiful eyes darted around, then turned to the old eunuch who had been looking up at the sky and down as if he were invisible ever since the two of them started arguing: "What does Eunuch Li think?"

When Eunuch Li was suddenly called out, he was taken aback for a moment, but still dutifully said, "This matter involves the princess, so it is not appropriate for Your Highness to come. It is better to report directly to His Majesty and ask him to make a decision."

The Ninth Princess dared to extend her reach into the harem of an adult prince, especially since this "prince" was the Seventh Prince. How audacious!

Eunuch Li lowered his eyelids, a sinister glint in his eyes: It's time to teach them a lesson!
Qin Su nodded: "I think it's a good idea, what do you think?"

Chu Jiang was forced to turn around and met the girl's beautiful, clear eyes: "Whatever."

Then, feeling that wasn't enough, she added fiercely, "If the old man can't solve it either, then I'll still beat her up!"

Eunuch Li's lips twitched, and he buried his head hard: I can't hear you, I can't hear you...
-
In the middle of the night, the sleeping man was suddenly awakened, as if the fragrance of the young girl still lingered in his arms.

Such a soft ball, as if embracing a cloud.

And all I could hear was that sweet, coquettish voice saying, "Give me a hug..."

He closed his eyes; his body was burning hot.

Damn...
