Chapter 166: Take the initiative into your own hands
Chu Jiang lowered his eyes and told himself.

This is a dream, so how can a person completely control a dream?

"Since you've already met him, why don't you just ask him for help? Why do you still need to see me?"

The tyrant rarely initiated conversations with her in her dreams, and Qin Su wasn't sure if it was their time together over the past few days that had made him more patient with her...this face.

But isn't this a good thing?
As long as there is curiosity and the willingness to speak up, it's a good sign.

She smiled slightly, crossed her hands and rested them on her chin, looking very relaxed and at ease: "Because I think you are more sincere than him."

An answer I had never imagined.

If she had said something like "You're not as smart as him" or "You're easier to fool than him," Chu Jiang might have believed her a little.

But what did she say?
"You are more sincere than him"?
He was almost about to scoff, but was interrupted by the woman's words:
"You see, the same words, you either believe them or you don't. The doctor doesn't need to guess. If you agree to the treatment, I believe you will cooperate. Conversely, if you refuse, you won't play along with my act, but if it's him..."

Chu Jiang raised his head, a rare hint of interest in his expression, and asked, "What will he do?"

Qin Su laughed, but her words were particularly harsh and to the point: "He will use the most perfect rhetoric to avoid all questions, and even set traps to entangle the doctor as well. Until he is truly willing to treat you, I am still willing to do business with you."

As she spoke, she raised her glass to the man.

Chu Jiang remained silent. His intuition told him that what the woman said was true, and that the person was indeed that wicked.

However, he wouldn't tell the truth: "Even if you say that, I won't believe you."

He wanted to see the other person's angry and furious expression, but the other person remained as gentle as ever, and he didn't know why he felt a little annoyed.

He added coldly, "I certainly won't cooperate with you."

“I told you, all treatments are voluntary. I won’t force you, but I believe you’ll need me sooner or later.”

Chu Jiang: "Impossible!"

Qin Su didn't argue with him, but suddenly changed the subject: "Did you know that being in love releases dopamine, which affects a person's mood? Your emotions seem much more stable lately, are you in love?"

Chu Jiang's eyes were somewhat terrifying, filled with obvious killing intent: "I told you not to spy on me."

Qin Su waved her hand: "Don't be so wary. Understanding a patient's condition is something every doctor has to do. For example, the person you like, he likes too, doesn't he?"

The porcelain cup twisted for a moment in the man's hand before returning to its original shape, which shows how emotionally turbulent he had just been.

Qin Su softened her voice to soothe the man: "Don't be angry. Violence won't solve anything. I'm not saying this to make you angry; I'm just stating a fact."

Chu Jiang: "Shut up!"

Qin Su: "Okay, the truth may be hard to hear, but it's the truth..."

Chu Jiang: "I told you to shut up!"

"OK~"

Qin Su raised her hand apologetically, and the moment she did, the surrounding environment suddenly changed—

The shimmering wall behind me suddenly transformed into a screen—

A blonde, fair-skinned, high-nosed, deep-eyed foreigner appeared on the screen wearing a white robe.

He was using a pocket watch to hypnotize the patient.

The other person seemed to be under control, answering all his questions.

To make it easier to understand the tyrant's power, the foreign text was even dubbed in Daqi Mandarin.

Chu Jiang clearly didn't want to pay attention, but he was still uncontrollably drawn to this strange scene, watching it intently.

A woman's gentle voice sounded from the side: "This is a doctor using hypnotherapy to help the patient find their inner trauma. Our treatment task today is very simple; just watch this treatment session, and it won't take up too much of your time." Qin Su observed this but did not respond to the patient's subtle resistance.

She simply smiled gently and spoke in a tone as if she were an old friend:
"Our treatment has entered the second phase, and we'll be seeing each other quite often during this time!"
-
Chu Jiang suddenly woke up from his dream.

As before, it took a while for me to realize my surroundings.

His mind was still replaying the woman's last words before she left: "Always keep the initiative in your own hands. If you don't want it, someone else will. I hope you never regret your choice."

The man's heaving chest gradually calmed down, and this time, everything in the dream was very clear.

After a while, Chu Jiang's breathing gradually calmed down.

He closed his eyes again, thinking:

His delusions seemed to be getting worse, and what was even more serious was that he seemed to be really being swayed by her.

Do we have the initiative in our own hands...?
-
Even if he didn't sleep well all night, the man's physical condition was so good that he was still full of energy the next day, and no one could tell that there was anything wrong with him.

Chu Jiang is not required to attend the morning court session today, so he can stay and have breakfast with Qin Su.

Even so, he was somewhat absent-minded throughout the morning, and he didn't hear Qin Su talking to him several times.

After a few times, Qin Su stopped saying anything, only instructing the system to keep a close eye on the tyrant today.

Her intuition told her that this "patient" was probably going to give her something really big today.

The system should respond accordingly.

"I need to go to the palace. Today you..."

After breakfast, Chu Jiang suddenly spoke to Qin Su.

"I'm fine on my own."

Qin Su smiled and agreed, then thought for a moment, "I want to go see the children..."

In the past, the tyrant's first reaction upon hearing this would have been to refuse and then ask her to wait for him to return so he could go with her.

Today, she clearly saw the resistance in his eyes, but in the end, she agreed: "Go ahead, I'll have Ye Fan go with you."

Qin Su thought to herself, "As expected," but didn't show it on her face: "Yes, I'll be back this afternoon."

Chu Jiang looked at her, his eyes revealing a complex expression.

Just when Qin Su thought he would touch her, the man said, "Then I'll go first. Take care of yourself."

Looking at the man's inexplicably desolate back, Qin Su rarely showed a thoughtful expression: So what happened last night that triggered him?

This was the first time she had ever seen a man who was fearless show such an expression.
-
Qin Su guessed correctly; Chu Jiang was indeed "afraid."

He entered the palace on business, but it wasn't anything important.

Upon entering the palace, he neither went to see the emperor nor returned to the Eastern Palace to handle state affairs. Instead, he went straight to the Imperial Medical Academy, and the first thing he said to the head of the academy was:

"I suspect I have delusions, and they're getting worse."

These few words startled the old head of the academy, who was about to bow to His Highness the Crown Prince, so much that his hand trembled and he almost lost his composure.

"Your Highness, are you joking?"

Chu Jiang stared at him with a deathly gaze: "Do you think I look like one?"

Old Director: ...

"Then please, Your Highness, describe the symptoms of your delusions..."
