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

Chapter 197 Chu Jiang: Do I look like an idiot to you?
The man's expression was more profound and serious than ever before, his dark and deep eyes seeming to want to devour her.

“I will talk to him. If he dares to hurt you again, we’ll fight to the death and break up completely.”

Chu Jiang's words meant that he was prepared for mutual destruction.

Looking into the other person's eyes, Qin Su knew he wasn't lying.

"I know."

Her voice softened considerably as she gazed at the man's focused and handsome face, slowly leaning closer and nestling into his embrace: "I know you will protect me. You're the only one I trust in this world."

Chu Jiang's breathing became heavy, as if some exciting and warm emotion was washing over his barren heart, indescribable in words, and even the arm holding the girl was trembling slightly.

At that moment, he clearly realized that no one else in his life, except the person in his arms, would ever give him this feeling, and he would never fall in love with anyone else again.

"Sangsang, don't leave me."

A man's low, husky voice came from above her head. At that moment, Qin Su had no idea that this was a silent confession from the man to her.

Her slender, white fingertips twitched slightly, and her voice was soft like a lover's murmur: "No, I will always, always be with you."

His arms tightened suddenly around her, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones and flesh.

The two stayed in the room for a long time, so long that the girl fell asleep in his arms once again.

Chu Jiang then got up and left.

The moment he stepped outside, the man, who had been so tender and affectionate with his lover, turned grim upon seeing the old eunuch standing at the door, exuding a sharp and intimidating aura.

Liu Gonggong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you to the Ministry of Justice when you have time..."

Liu Gonggong was having trouble speaking. Under the man's sinister and cold gaze, sweat poured down his forehead. Just as he was about to collapse and beg for mercy, the man suddenly looked away: "Come with me."

Chu Jiang strode ahead, his heart filled with immense anger.

All he wanted to know was why, after promising Sangsang to be his prince consort, he woke up to find himself as that bastard's concubine.

and also,

How exactly did he bully his little girl while he was away?

Eunuch Liu followed behind, dejected, no longer possessing the imposing presence of the Grand Eunuch of the Eastern Palace. He seemed to have a sense of "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs never to return."

At this moment, he missed Ye Fan terribly. They had promised to share the hardships together!

Why did I have to go to Dali Temple today of all days!
"Eunuch Liu, I have something to ask you."

An overly calm male voice sounded above him, causing Eunuch Liu to shudder involuntarily. When he looked up and saw the man's gentle (bitter) smile—

With a thud, his knees, as if they had their own will, knelt down first: "Your Highness, it really has nothing to do with this old servant! This old servant had no choice but to accept His Highness's decision..."

Eunuch Liu: Who cares? Before the Seventh Prince opens his mouth to question us, let's just shift the blame.

As he wept, he carefully recounted the events of the past few days to Chu Jiang.

There isn't a single fool among those who can survive in the Eastern Palace.

Eunuch Liu had personally witnessed how Chu Jiang treated Qin Su.

She was the only woman whom the arrogant and domineering Seventh Prince, who looked down on everyone, had treated with patience and gentleness all these years.

A man who doesn't even care about his own life or death would fight and struggle for her, bending his proud back and bowing to the imperial power he once despised, just to keep her by his side.

It's easy to imagine how much he cares about her.

Therefore, he never approved of the Crown Prince competing with the Seventh Prince for Miss Sangsang.

A wild beast that is not under anyone's control has finally found a cage that it willingly enters. If it wants to possess it all, why are you trying to take it from it?
Liu Gonggong was not at all surprised by Chu Jiang's attitude at this moment.

The more he talked, the more he wanted to wipe his sweat. Especially when he mentioned, "The Crown Prince takes good care of Miss Sangsang, and he would visit her when he had time in the evening..." there was a cracking sound in his ear, followed by the rustling of tree branches and leaves.

Eunuch Liu was nearly scared out of his wits, terrified that his head would be smashed in the next moment.

Sure enough, the man's sinister voice rang out the next moment: "Visiting tonight?"

Grandpa Liu: Waaaaaah, can you hurry up when you do it? I'm afraid of getting hurt...

Chu Jiang: "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

The old eunuch's words immediately reminded Chu Jiang of what the little girl meant by "lying to her" in the carriage.

Eunuch Liu remained silent: ...

Chu Jiang coldly shouted, "Continue!"

He shuddered and said, "Yes." But he had already decided in his heart where he would be buried.

Just when Eunuch Liu thought he might not survive the day, Ye Fan descended like a savior: "Your Highness, I have something to report!"

As he said this, Chief Guard Ye glanced at Eunuch Liu, who was pale and haggard on the ground, looking as if he had lost half his life in just half a day, and was somewhat surprised.

However, this did not affect his subsequent statement: "The news from the Four Barbarian Tribes Bureau indicates that the envoy from Nanyue has bribed officials of the Court of State Ceremonial, hoping to enter the palace as soon as possible to present treasures..."

"Who?" Catching the key word, Chu Jiang's sharp eyes instantly shot over.

Ye Fan subconsciously replied, "The envoy from Nanyue, the Holy Princess..."

Liu Gonggong, still kneeling on the ground, felt a sudden jolt in his heart: Oh no, he had just forgotten to tell the Seventh Prince that the Southern Yue people had entered the capital!

"Arrived already?"

Chu Jiang's expression turned ugly when he heard "envoy from Nan Yue," and when he heard the words "Holy Princess," his eyes flashed with undisguised ruthlessness and killing intent.

Yes,

They were originally going to the capital.

He's been "missing" for a few days now; it's about time he arrived.

Actually, what Eunuch Liu said wasn't entirely correct; "Qin Sangsang" was definitely not the "first" woman he cared about.

That holy maiden who commands respect throughout the Baiyue region is the one.

Before Ye Fan and Eunuch Liu could react, the man who had just been all menacing suddenly turned and left.

Eunuch Liu knew his prince best, and disregarding his own safety, he rushed forward to stop him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't rush off! The Southern Yue world has come to the capital to submit to our Great Qi. If you attack them now, it will damage the prestige of our Great Qi!"

Chu Jiang sneered: "Surrender? If you truly surrender, why doesn't the King of Nanyue come to the capital to pay homage to the Emperor? What kind of surrender is it, a mere prince and a princess?"

Hearing his prince's criticism, Eunuch Liu dared not refute it.

They all knew that His Highness and Nan Yue were sworn enemies, and what they feared most was that he would cause trouble at this time, so they tried to go along with him as much as possible.

Seeing that the old eunuch was about to follow again, Chu Jiang stopped him with a look:

"Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you."

Eunuch Liu is suffering terribly; it would be a miracle if he could relax.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but look towards the closed room not far away: If, he meant if... if Miss Sangsang could come out now.

The seventh prince listens to her the most, so who knows...

"What are you looking at?"

It's a new month, my darlings, please vote for me! Mwah~
