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

Chapter 186 Not convinced? Then take it!
On the day Qin Su left the palace, the Crown Prince was urgently summoned to the Hall of Diligent Governance by Emperor Wen early in the morning.

Eunuch Liu was in charge of directing the palace servants to pack Qin Su's luggage.

The gifts she received upon entering and leaving the Eastern Palace filled three entire carriages.

The palace servants were busy but organized, and under Eunuch Liu's arrangement, they acted in an orderly manner.

The person who should have been at the center of the event stood quietly under the eaves of the palace, wearing only a plain white cloak, aloof and distant, as if everything before her had nothing to do with her.

Chu Junyan hurried along the long vermilion palace path, but slowed down before stepping into the East Palace, and entered unhurriedly.

"How are the preparations going?" A cool, deep male voice rang out from the doorway. The palace servants all stopped what they were doing and knelt down to pay their respects.

Eunuch Liu thought to himself that he had been prepared all along, but he was just trying to delay until you returned.

He said with a fawning smile, "It'll be installed in no time."

Chu Junyan nodded casually, his gaze passing over the old eunuch in front of him and landing on the ethereal and otherworldly young girl not far away.

She seemed to notice his gaze as well, a look of panic and disgust flashing in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head, deliberately avoiding his gaze.

His Highness the Crown Prince's previously pleasant mood suddenly soured.

He strode over and stood directly in front of the girl.

Let her avoid it.

"You really don't want to see me?"

As he forced the girl to stand beside the vermilion palace pillar, lifted her chin, and forced her to look him in the eye, the busy palace servants vanished in an instant.

In front of the vast palace, only the two of them remained.

The girl was clearly flustered for a moment, biting her lower lip nervously, her trembling eyelashes drooping as she didn't want to look at him.

Chu Junyan leaned closer to her, his handsome face still bearing a gentle smile, but his aura was incredibly powerful and imposing, as if he could take everything from her at any time if he wanted to.

"I like obedient people."

He was so close; if he lowered himself just a little more, he could kiss her lips. His fragrance, like his very being, enveloped and clung to her.

The little girl couldn't help but glare at him. Even after being bullied for so long, her stubbornness hadn't completely disappeared. Her beautiful eyes were filled with resentment: "What does this have to do with me?"

Chu Junyan didn't speak, but grabbed her injured wrist with his other hand. It was still wrapped in fine gauze, indicating that it hadn't fully healed.

"I'll give you three days. Someone will come to pick you up in three days."

After he finished speaking, he straightened up and resumed his noble and elegant demeanor as the Crown Prince.

The little girl tried to argue, "No way..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the palace servants who had just disappeared reappeared like shadows and continued their unfinished work.

The bizarre scene distracted her, and by the time she came to her senses, it was too late to argue.

Even so, the girl's dissatisfaction and grievance did not disappear. Her beautiful eyes glared at him, filled with anger and resentment.

Chu Junyan was satisfied.

He loathed the way the girl had treated him so dismissively, even to the point of trying to avoid him.

Since he was standing here, all she could do was look at him and think about him.

He's so domineering that he even tries to control people's thoughts.

When Eunuch Li said "immediately," he really meant immediately. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all three carriages were ready.

Just as Chu Junyan was about to say something, he saw the little girl lift her skirt and jump onto the carriage.

Seeing her impatient figure, a strange anger rose in his heart: "Qin Sangsang!"

A deep male voice, tinged with a warning, sounded from behind, causing the young girl to pause in her act of boarding the carriage. She seemed to gather her thoughts for a moment before reluctantly turning around, her beautiful eyes meeting his: "What is it?"
As they watched the Crown Prince stride toward his carriage, the palace servants hurriedly lowered their heads.

“Remember what I said,”

Chu Junyan stood beside the carriage, reached out and put his arm around the girl's slender waist, pulling her half-forcefully into his embrace: "Don't do anything you'll regret."

The blunt threat caused a flicker of surprise in Qin Su's eyes, and she couldn't help but turn to look at him.

His face was still that outrageously handsome face, but his eyes and temperament were no longer those of a tyrant.

She only paused for a moment before looking away without saying a word.

As for what's on his mind, only he knows.
-
As the carriage curtain fell and the carriage slowly drove out of the palace, Chu Junyan suddenly felt a strong possessive desire and wanted to keep her there, not allowing her to leave.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before he forcefully suppressed it.

She's just a woman; what waves can she possibly stir up?
[Ding—System Notification: The favorability of the character to be pursued, [Crown Prince Junyan], has reached 20%. Points +1000. Please keep up the good work.]

A system notification, both strange and familiar, suddenly sounded, and Qin Su opened her eyes.

The system in his mind was even more excited: 【Ahhhhh! Host!!! You actually managed to get it in!!!】

The system was so excited it danced around. It knew better than anyone how difficult it was to gain favor with the prince.

But the host actually added 10 at once!

I'm already 20, how far am I from 40?
If you're 40, how far are you from 50?
The system excitedly spun and jumped, wishing it could perform a scene right there in Qin Su's mind.

The one who should have been most excited had already turned on the screen and started checking the man's recent emotional fluctuations.

After a while, just as the system finished its excitement and was about to encourage its host, it heard the girl say calmly, "Indeed, what you can't have is always the best."

As she spoke, a beautiful smile appeared on her delicate, fair face.

But the system jolted.

If I remember correctly, the last time the host laughed like that, the original male lead was almost beaten to death by the tyrant.

So who's going to be unlucky this time?
The carriage quickly returned to the Prime Minister's residence.

When Qin Su stepped down from the carriage, the guards at the gate could hardly take their eyes off her.

It took me a while to be sure that this... this... was actually the long-lost Third Miss?

Qin Qionghua sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking down at her hands.

Soft and white, tender and verdant.

The area that was once covered with ugly scars is now completely smooth, with no trace of injury.

But instead of being happy, her beautiful face remained calm, and her dark eyes betrayed no emotion.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the door.

A moment later, a little maid ran in: "Miss, Master has told everyone to go to the front hall. The Third Miss has returned."

Qin Qionghua remained silent.

Hongxing snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "So what if she's back? She's just a concubine's daughter. Does she expect our young lady to go and greet her?"

Qin Qionghua shared the same sentiment, though she didn't say it explicitly.

But when she glanced at the little girl's hesitant and conflicted expression, she felt a sudden sinking feeling in her heart, a sense of unease.

When they arrived at their destination and saw the angel in the python robe being treated with such respect by his own father, the unease in his heart reached its peak.

Suddenly, her gaze flickered and she saw a slender, unfamiliar figure, with a soft, light red skirt peeking out from under a plain cloak.

She frowned slightly and asked, "Who is that?"
