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

Chapter 191 He asked her: Do you like my answer?
"what!"

When Qin Qionghua was "brought" here by the Imperial Guards, she heard her cousin's shrill and terrifying voice. Her heart skipped a beat, and she dared not think about what had happened to make her scream so tragically.

Chu Junyan stood still, his handsome face cold and stern. He disliked the anger and impatience that controlled him at this moment.

She's just a woman; let alone disappearing or running away from the wedding, even if she were dead, he shouldn't care.

Given his personality, he shouldn't have made it so bloody; it's too ugly. I wonder how he'll be impeached at tomorrow's morning court session.

Doing this is pointless except for mindlessly venting anger.

but……

"You'd better hope she's alright, or I'll make your entire Zhang family pay for her death."

As soon as Qin Qionghua stepped through the moon gate and heard these cold and harsh words, her heart began to pound uncontrollably...
-
On that very day, the entire capital was placed under martial law, with checkpoints set up at all the city gates, and people were thoroughly questioned at every level. The identities of all those entering and leaving the city were strictly checked.

Brothels, gambling dens, and other places of all sorts of shady characters were all shut down, awaiting investigation.

Qin Rusong was suspended from his post for "lax family management" and was told to stay home and reflect on his actions. He looked several years older.

Xie Cisheng had just returned to the capital from Jiangnan when he was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice.

Upon seeing the handsome, dignified, and imposing stranger in the main seat, his heart skipped a beat; he felt a strange sense of familiarity about him.

The next moment, the other person's question directly hit the nail on the head: "Where is Qin Sangsang?"

He froze for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "You... Ling Xiao..."

"You must not be disrespectful when the Crown Prince is questioning you!"

A soldier nearby kicked him, and his raised back bent sharply.

Even so, it could not stop the turmoil in his heart:
Crown Prince Ling Xiao, Crown Prince Ling Xiao... How could that be?

"This humble subject is unaware."

Xie Cisheng knelt on the ground, his usually clean robes now stained with dirt, and he seemed to collapse in an instant.

A light, cold laugh sounded from above, as if it came from a distant place: "It's alright, you'll find out soon enough."

As a result, Xie Cisheng was imprisoned, all shops in the capital were sealed off, and many workers in the shops were taken away.

If Qin Su were here, she would have noticed that all those arrested were people known to "Qin Sangsang".

"This Mr. Xie should not be involved in the disappearance of the concubine. He has been out of town on business and only returned to the capital yesterday."

Strictly speaking, Xie Cisheng's frequent returns to Jiangnan were also due to someone's instruction, and the trouble that his subordinates had caused him.

Chu Junyan opened his eyes. He naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with the man surnamed Xie.

But it is not important.

The young girl is loyal and kind-hearted; if she knew someone she knew was implicated because of her, she would definitely come back.

When she comes back...

A glint of malice flashed in the man's dark eyes. When she returned, he would chain her up so she would never dare to leave his side again.

The man's aura suddenly became fierce, and his gloomy and cold expression made Ye Fan's heart pound. This was the first time he had ever seen His Highness the Crown Prince with such a cold and terrifying expression. He might have thought that the other man had returned...

"Another high-ranking official has had his home ransacked. The soldiers took a lot of people with them. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince personally led the raid."

In a small courtyard, Su Yu wiped the sweat from his brow and told Qin Su what he had learned that day: "The Prime Minister's residence has also been surrounded by soldiers. We don't know what's going on inside, but anyone who gets close will be questioned by the soldiers."

"how so……"

Qin Su's face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness. Seeing this, the man beside her quickly comforted her, telling her not to worry: "In a couple of days, I'll go check on things again. Miss Sangsang, don't worry..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Su mustered her spirits and thanked him, "Thank you. I really don't know what I would do if I met you..."

This is of course a lie.

Let's go back to the day the marriage was arranged.

Qin Su pretended to faint and was kidnapped by Zhang Miaoyun's men. Not long after she got out, she encountered Su Yu, who had been waiting near the Prime Minister's residence.

He saw someone sneaking out of the small gate of the Prime Minister's residence, carrying a human-shaped sack on their back.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he followed the person all the way, and only after knocking the person unconscious did he realize that the person he had saved was actually Qin Su.

"Those who take advantage of others should also be prepared to be taken advantage of themselves."

Qin Su knew that the other party had been lying low in the capital all this time for revenge.

In the original novel, he betrayed Qin Sangsang and seduced Qin Qionghua in order to seek revenge.

This time, he chose her.

Su Yu thought that his saving Qin Su was a coincidence, but little did he know that it was all part of her plan.

He even thought he had done a good job and gained the girl's trust.
-
[Host, the Crown Prince's favorability has increased by 2%.]

The system was in a very complicated mood when it said this.

In the few days since the host left, the prince's favorability towards him has increased every day, making it suspect that the prince has masochistic tendencies and the more the host treats him badly, the more he likes him.

No wonder other players always fail; it turns out the person they're trying to woo is crazy!
-
Four days have passed since Qin Su "disappeared." His Highness the Crown Prince's methods are becoming increasingly ruthless and iron-fisted. He is confiscating property, imprisoning people, and killing anyone who resists. His style of doing things is becoming more and more like that of a tyrant.

The South Vietnamese delegation entered the capital at this time.

Upon seeing the capital under such high-pressure security, the entire delegation immediately became alert, suspecting that this was a trap to lure them into a snare.

Those who had originally intended to seek out some opportunities in the capital have temporarily given up their plans and settled down due to this unknown situation.

“Your Majesty, the officials of the Court of State Ceremonial said that martial law is in effect in the capital for the next few days, and foreign visitors are not allowed to move around freely in the capital. They told us to rest at the Siyi Pavilion for the time being. The audience will be arranged after things are settled.”

"Do you know when it is?" the veiled girl asked, her voice clear and ethereal, like a fairy untouched by the mortal world. Her eyes, visible through the veil, had upturned corners and long eyelashes, exuding an indescribable charm and allure, a stark contrast to her voice.

"I heard... they're arresting spies who are colluding with the enemy and betraying the country."
-
His Highness the Crown Prince finally fell asleep, and Eunuch Liu wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

These past few days, His Highness's aura has become increasingly cold, somber, and dignified. When he first saw him, he couldn't quite distinguish between him and the Seventh Prince.

In the morning, the Ninth Princess came to visit the Consort, but he sent her away with some excuse.

That's right, although Qin Su disappeared, the "Concubine" still entered the East Palace on time.

So whether she comes back or not, she is destined to be His Highness's person for the rest of her life.

"You seem to be in a bad mood. Did something happen?"

When Chu Junyan opened his eyes, he found himself back in that fantastical space.

On the other side, a delicate and beautiful young woman looked at him with a smile.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he blurted out, "Qin Sangsang?"

The girl snorted and corrected him, "Wrong, it's Dr. Su."

"Qin, Su".

When the two words were read together in the man's deep, mellow voice, Qin Su's heart skipped a beat, and she almost thought she had been exposed.
