Chapter 160 Qin Sangsang, Marry Me

The carriage arrived at a magnificent and spacious mansion, but did not stop; it entered directly through a side gate.

Ye Fan, who had been searching for His Highness without success, saw Chu Jiang alighting from the carriage and his eyes lit up as he was about to go over and pay his respects.

But he stopped abruptly after taking only two steps, because he realized that His Highness was not alone—to be precise, he was holding a woman whose face he could not see clearly.

Ye Fan: !!
Only after being carried into the room did Qin Su finally show her face.

She looked around at her unfamiliar surroundings and asked, "Where am I?"

Chu Jiang: "My home."

"what?"

Meeting the girl's questioning gaze, he explained, "It's the Prince's residence."

Qin Su nodded: "Then..."

Chu Jiang saw through her thoughts at a glance: "That's just a temporary place to recuperate; no one knows I'm staying there."

That makes sense. It's precisely because the "neighbor's" identity is mysterious, and even her scumbag father doesn't know he's the infamous "Seventh Prince," that Qin Su was able to stage an accident to extort money...

She nodded as if she understood, then suddenly stopped: "Why did you bring me here? I want to..." She couldn't quite finish the word "home".

The way the man looked at her made her blush and want to run away. Qin Su's voice softened: "You...you're not allowed to..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

He leaned close to her ear, his voice unusually low and husky, carrying a hint of danger: "You're not allowed to leave."

He had already brought her back, so he never intended to let her go again.

Qin Su shrank back, her ears tickling from the breeze, and said in a soft, gentle voice, "No, Mother will worry if she can't see me..."

Before she could finish speaking, the person holding her tightened their grip even more, as if trying to etch her into their very bones: "She won't know."

"what?"

Qin Su turned her head in surprise, wanting to ask for clarification, but before she could move, her soft lips brushed against the man's cheek.

Chu Jiang suddenly turned his head, his excessively dark eyes making her heart skip a beat, and her whole body trembled: "No, you can't... um..."
-
In the residence in Chongxianfang, Aunt Xu hadn't heard her daughter's voice all afternoon. When the maidservant came in, she finally couldn't help but speak:
"Where's Sangsang? What's she doing?"

Chunfeng's heart skipped a beat, thinking: This moment has finally come.

"Miss, Miss has gone back. Someone from the Prime Minister's residence came this afternoon and asked Miss to go back."

"Did they say what it is?"

Aunt Xu frowned, revealing a worried expression. Now she knew that in this life, the only person she could rely on was this daughter.

"No, no."

Chunfeng pretended to be stupid, but what she was really thinking was: ...The truth is that the young lady was kidnapped by a bad man.

I dare say, Auntie, do you dare listen?
-
In the room, Qin Su was applying medicine in front of the mirror.

Her snow-white skin was dotted with red marks, like plum blossoms in the snow, beautiful and dazzling.

Her long, black hair was gathered in front of her chest, revealing her slender swan neck.

After the last spot was covered, she put on her thin shirt to cover up all the marks.

Men are like dogs; even if they can't have the meat, they'll still take a bite.

She accidentally let slip that she had been bitten by "that person".

He went crazy, wanting to mark her entire body with his mark.

System: [Host...]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Qin Su paused for a moment: "You saw it all this afternoon?"

System: [No, no, the system has professional ethics; all restricted content has been blocked!]

Qin Su: ……

You might as well not explain at all.

After the system finished speaking, it realized that the host was not angry, so it thought of asking if there was any difference between being a tyrant and being a crown prince.

Before she could even speak, Qin Su had already turned on the monitoring screen.

Goodness, when someone is kissed by such a historically renowned beauty, shouldn't they at least savor the moment?

Its host, on the other hand, immediately replayed the data and began analyzing the emotional fluctuations and hormonal changes of different personalities under similar circumstances.

It's even more dedicated than this artificial intelligence!

System: [...6!]
-
As evening approached, Qin Su went to have dinner, but she didn't see the person she expected, which made her a little puzzled.

I asked the steward and found out that news came from the palace that afternoon that the tyrant had been temporarily summoned back.

He didn't even want to go back at first, but after the messenger said something, he reluctantly left.

Even so, he still specifically instructed the housekeeper to take good care of Qin Su and fulfill all her wishes.

Qin Su sat down at the table, just about to eat, when she heard the butler say, moved, "You are the first woman His Highness has brought back."

Qin Su: ……

"It's been a long time since I've seen His Highness smile like that."

Qin Su: ...Maybe we should just kill her.

What kind of Mary Sue lines are these?!

System: [Hehehe...]
-
It's night, everything is silent.

After a long day, Qin Su took a shower and went to bed early.

Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.

The system was the first to notice, and its first reaction was to prepare an alarm in its mind to wake up the host.

It soon discovered that it wasn't anyone else who had come, but...

Chu Jiang walked step by step toward the bed with the gauze curtains hanging low. With his excellent night vision, even the darkest room was like flat ground to him, not to mention the two dim lanterns hanging outside, which made it even more convenient for him.

The system felt inexplicably excited as it watched the man walk in as if no one else was there.

It's a strategy system. The main reason for using the strategy to woo the tyrant is to collect the tyrant's various reactions during courtship, so that it can be used to create a fully virtual game based on real-person data in the future.

Now the tyrant will act on its own without the host needing to seduce it, and the system has even quietly reduced the static noise:
Is he here to continue the content that was censored this morning? Tonight is finally going to be…

Chu Jiang stopped by the bedside, looked down at the sleeping girl, and then slowly leaned down to kiss her soft lips.

Men have an exceptionally strong learning ability. Qin Su only gave him a casual lesson in the afternoon because she thought he was too inexperienced, but he quickly became very adept at it.

Not only did he learn what she taught him immediately, but he was also able to apply what he learned to other situations!

He kept kissing her until his lips were swollen.

The sleeping girl let out a soft hum, and the system excitedly exclaimed: [Finally...]

The next moment, the screen went black.
-
Chu Jiang slightly moved his lips away, gently resting his head on the girl's forehead, his eyes dark and obsessive: "You are mine."

After a while, he reluctantly nuzzled the girl's cheek again before getting up and leaving.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring courtyard, all the guards who had been secretly protecting the girl were kneeling down.

The man's expression was cold and stern; the tenderness and affection he had shown when he was with the girl were nowhere to be seen.

Some people would believe it if you said it was the Grim Reaper!

"Explain clearly, not a single detail can be overlooked!" Hearing His Highness's demand, the guards trembled, almost crying: Aren't you making things difficult for us...?
-
The next morning, Qin Su woke up to the system's voice ringing in her mind: 【Good morning, host!】

Judging from its tone, it seemed somewhat excited.

However, Qin Su didn't seem to mind: "Good morning."

As she spoke, she yawned and got up to get dressed.

Seeing the host's actions, the system excitedly wanted to tell her about the tyrant's sneaking into her boudoir last night to grope her.

But before she could speak, she suddenly thought: Ah, given the host's personality, what if she knew the tyrant was coming but the system hadn't warned her and was just watching the show? Would she...?

"What do you want to say?"

What's even more terrifying is that Qin Su seemed to see through the system's thoughts, and her first words almost scared it to death.

System: [No, no... wait, yes, the system wants to say that the Tyrant's favorability towards the host has increased again, and more points have been credited!]

Qin Su gave a dismissive "Oh" and pushed open the door.

Upon seeing this, Cyber ​​felt like he was about to faint.

Waaah, I didn't say it now, and I'll be even more afraid to say it later.

We can only wait until the host discovers it on their own next time...
-
When Qin Su went out, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast.

Surprisingly, the tyrant was still absent, reportedly having gone to the palace before dawn to attend the morning court session.

Qin Su, who thought he hadn't come home all night, replied with a perfunctory, "Is that so? You must be exhausted."

Qin Su wasn't the type to dabble in food; she finished her breakfast quickly.

The butler came up at the opportune moment: "Miss Sangsang, His Highness has prepared some new clothes for you. Please come and choose one. If anything is not suitable, the seamstress can alter it on the spot."

Qin Su paused in wiping her mouth with her handkerchief, and looked up to meet the butler's expressionless smile.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, the butler, fearing that she was about to refuse, couldn't help but say, "Miss Sangsang..."

"Please lead the way." Qin Su finally relented, and the butler breathed a sigh of relief.
-
The embroiderer was waiting next door. Qin Su followed the steward out, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure at the door: "You are..."

Ye Fan paused in his steps: "Miss Qin."

Qin Su nodded: "Commander Ye, you're here too."

Ye Fan smiled awkwardly but politely.

Fortunately, Qin Su only said hello and left quickly.

But as soon as she turned around, Ye Fan felt completely unwell.

Last night it was his turn to be on night duty, and he actually saw His Highness coming out of that girl's room in the middle of the night...

This……

lecher!
That's absolutely inhuman!
Both princes...

He shook his head frantically, trying to stop his rebellious thoughts, and hurried away, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven crazy.

Qin Su: "What's wrong with him?"

Ye Fan thought he had hidden himself well, but little did he know who Qin Su was.

His evasive, guilty gaze and stiff, subtle movements all told Qin Su that this man was very guilty.

The system feigned ignorance: "Huh? Maybe...maybe it's heatstroke."

Yes, he must have heatstroke.

It was definitely not because he felt guilty towards the young girl and was embarrassed or remorseful for not being able to tell her the truth.
-
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study was not good either.

When Emperor Wen learned that Chu Jiang had returned, he immediately left the morning court session early and ignored everything else, going straight to find the girl from the Qin family. Since the Crown Prince didn't seem to dislike her, he decided to discuss with him the rank to be given to Qin Su.

According to him, there is room for discussion regarding whether to offer the title of "Crown Prince's Consort" or "Secondary Concubine".

But to everyone's surprise, before he could even finish speaking after mentioning the Crown Prince, the audacious brat immediately rejected his claim: "What is my relationship with him? The Seventh Prince's Consort."

This single sentence reveals Qin Sangsang's place in his heart.

If Emperor Wen had heard this before, he wouldn't have cared, as long as the boy was willing to touch women.

But now...

He coughed lightly, hinting, "But if she becomes the Seventh Prince's consort, when you enter the palace as the Crown Prince, she..."

Chu Jiang replied matter-of-factly, "She is naturally in my prince's residence."

Just knowing that the bastard dared to take advantage of him while he was away made him want to kill him.

It's even less likely that he'll get a chance now.

The young man's resolute expression spoke volumes, and Emperor Wen suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He recalled asking the Crown Prince about his intentions earlier; he seemed quite interested in the girl and didn't seem to mind being with the Seventh Prince...

According to him, it would be better to marry the crown prince; at worst, the two brothers could be together...

Emperor Wen suddenly stopped, his face turning pale and then red, feeling embarrassed himself.

How did you create such a forbidden feeling of fraternity when you're clearly the same person?
It’s simply baffling!
"Alright, let's leave this matter here for now. We can discuss the rest later. You two can come back to request the imperial decree once you've reached an agreement." He said, as if waving them away.

Chu Jiang may have a bad temper, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Instead of leaving, he asked directly, "Why should I consult him about my woman? Please, Father Emperor, grant us the marriage directly!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply in greeting.

The emperor looked at him expressionlessly: ...

I can't keep reminding you that you might "disappear" at any time. What if the Crown Prince comes back in the middle of the night? Wouldn't yours still belong to him?
What, can it be split into two?
Then I couldn't help but think, it would be great if we could really split it into two.

One should govern the country with civil administration, and the other with military force. It wouldn't be like this now... Everyone who comes here will have a headache.

"Go away, I can't make that decision either. You two should discuss it and come back."

Emperor Wen was too lazy to pay him any attention and simply kicked him out.
-
Chu Jiang was kicked out unwillingly, his face as black as ink.

He came out and ran into the Crown Prince's tutor. The tutor bowed and blocked his way, saying solemnly, "Your Highness, I have something to say about what happened in court yesterday."

Chu Jiang looked at the old minister's wrinkled face. In the past, whenever he entered the palace and had to play that dog, no matter how unwilling he was, he would try his best to maintain his hypocritical posture.

For example, when he encounters a lecturing old man who loves to point fingers, he can force himself to tolerate it.

But this time...

He snorted coldly, strode away, leaving the two princeling ministers who were about to launch into a long speech standing there.

The two froze simultaneously: "Your Highness! Your Highness!..."

Chu Jiang completely ignored him, and his figure quickly disappeared from sight.

"What's wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince today? Why does he act so much like the Seventh Prince?"

Thinking of that troublesome seventh prince, both of them looked rather grim: "Could it be that I've mistaken him for someone else?"

The other shook his head: "You forgot, the Seventh Prince is still pacifying the barbarians in Yongzhou..."

"...Then tell me what happened?"
-
When Chu Jiang returned, Qin Su was asleep under the shade of a tree, with a book in her hand.

He saw it, and unconsciously slowed his pace.

Then he slowly walked over and gently picked the person up...
