Chapter 200 Feeling sorry for the tyrant
"Excuse me, sir, is that the concubine?"

Eunuch Liu turned and glanced at her: "That's right. That's the concubine. She's the only mistress of the Eastern Palace now."

Yu Feixian didn't speak, and it's unclear whether she listened or not.

Chu Jiang carried the person into the bedroom, where an underfloor heating system had already been installed.

Upon entering, one feels the warmth of spring. Qin Su learned from the palace staff that His Highness has a fever and would not have the floor heating turned on so early in previous years.

The move to earlier is also to make the concubine's accommodation more comfortable.

However, this was a trivial matter that someone had never mentioned.

The orchid-shaped incense burner placed in the hall is graceful and emits wisps of blue smoke.

Qin Su was carried by the tyrant to the soft couch under the flower window without her feet touching the ground, and only then did he let go of her.

"There will be a banquet in the palace in three days. You should feign illness and not attend."

Chu Jiang placed his hands on either side of Qin Su, encircling him in front of him, his expression unusually serious.

"A palace banquet?"

Qin Su's eyes showed a hint of confusion, but her mind was racing, recalling a scene from the original novel—

Princess Nanyue and the male protagonist first met at her first court banquet upon arriving in the capital.

An accident occurred during the banquet when the elephant presented by Nan Yue suddenly went out of control and nearly injured the princess, but was saved by Murong Jing.

During the process, the princess's veil fell off, drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd, and several princes even developed feelings for her.

The Southern Yue princess, confident in her unparalleled beauty, was unaware that the man who saved her harbored feelings for someone else. Instead, his deliberate avoidance piqued her interest.

The ill-fated relationship between the male lead and the female supporting character begins from this point.

"Did you hear that?"

The man's displeased voice brought Qin Su back to her senses.

She blinked her beautiful, dreamy eyes and asked sincerely, "Why?"

Chu Jiang remained silent for a moment.

Because I was afraid something might happen to her.

The Holy Maiden of Nanyue was ruthless and hated him to the core.

He wasn't afraid of the other party attacking him, but he couldn't bear the slightest possibility that she might be in danger.

Not at all.

“The princess of Nanyue has a grudge against me. She can’t touch me, but she might target you, so you’d better not attend the banquet.” If you can’t see her, you won’t have the chance to make a move.

Chu Jiang gave a brief explanation, but didn't go into anything deeper, for fear of scaring her.

Qin Su, however, was still worried and grabbed the man's collar: "What about you? Will you be okay if you go?"

The girl's eyes betrayed her worry and anxiety.

Seeing that she was worried about him, Chu Jiang couldn't help but smile. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her.

The little girl was caught off guard by a kiss, and her face immediately turned red, but she still firmly avoided his kiss: "You haven't answered me yet."

The man kissed her delicate face before replying, "I'll be fine. I once took poison from the Gu Mother, and her Gu poison has no effect on me."

"Poison?"

Qin Su looked surprised, clearly startled.

Chu Jiang already regretted saying so much.

He raised his hand and touched the girl's warm, jade-like face, rarely showing such domineering force: "So be good these next few days, stay in the palace, and don't go anywhere, understand?"

It's best to stay in the room and wait for him to come back.

However, he only thought about it in his mind and didn't say it aloud.

The little girl nodded, being incredibly well-behaved.

He saw it all, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he wanted to kiss her again. Thinking it, he did it.

Just like before, his lips were covered by a soft little hand: "You still haven't told me who that girl was."

Chu Jiang frowned. Why was she still asking him? He thought it was all in the past.

But seeing the girl's serious expression, she seemed... to care a lot about Yu Feixian.

"Her name is Yu Feixian, and her identity is somewhat special. I can't tell you for now, but you'll find out later."

Chu Jiang began to explain, but he was a little uneasy, afraid that the girl would be angry.

Qin Su couldn't find any information about Yu Feixian in the system's database, which is why she asked.

But she knew the tyrant well; he was unruly and hated nothing more than conspiracies and deceptions. If he could tell her, he would have done so, instead of doing it this way.

Under Chu Jiang's somewhat nervous gaze, the girl who had just been aloof and stubborn suddenly softened:

"Okay, you must have your reasons for not telling me. But you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you must protect yourself, okay? It will break my heart if you get hurt again."

Her eyes were warm and welcoming, like a warm spring enveloping Chu Jiang, making his breathing slow down.

He didn't say anything more, but pressed the back of the girl's head and kissed her directly.

His strength was tempered with gentle comfort; he expressed his feelings in his own way.

[Ding—System notification: The favorability of the character [Chu Jiang] has reached 86%, points +100. Please keep up the good work.]

Another system notification popped into her mind, and Qin Su paused almost imperceptibly.

She closed her eyes and slowly relaxed her body...
-
The next day, the tyrant continued to leave early and return late, seemingly very busy.

But he would still come to see him in the evening.

Seeing the man's slightly tired handsome face, Qin Su felt a pang of heartache in her eyes and asked him, "Can't you rest for a bit?"

The man took her hand: "Not for now, there are some things I have to do."
-
Then, on the third day, news came that "the Seventh Prince beat up the Third Prince of Nan Yue outside the palace, almost crippling him. The people of Nan Yue are furious and demand an explanation from Da Qi, or they will leave the capital."

Upon receiving the news, Qin Su was filled with worry and stood at the entrance of the East Palace waiting for someone.

No matter how the palace servants tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen.

Finally, Chu Jiang returned, and she hurried to greet him, her first words being, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

The man, who had just been severely reprimanded by Emperor Wen in front of his ministers, softened upon hearing these words, even though he wanted to laugh: "I'm fine."

The smile on Chu Jiang's face vanished before it could even appear, and his brows furrowed: "Didn't I tell you not to come out?"

Qin Su held the man's hand and said softly, "I'm very warm. You can touch it if you don't believe me. It's not cold."

The man didn't speak, but his expression was clearly not good.

She had no choice but to ask, "Did you get into a fight?"

Chu Jiang swept his phoenix eyes around, exuding unparalleled majesty, causing the palace servants beside him to lower their heads in fear.

Qin Su could only tug at his sleeve: "It has nothing to do with them, I asked them myself."

He looked away and when he looked at his beloved, his expression softened considerably: "It wasn't a fight." It was just a one-sided beating.

One sentence drew a glare from the little girl.

He chuckled casually, picked the person up, and strode into the hall, leaving the palace servants behind.

Qin Su's slender fingers landed on his shoulder: "Did that third prince offend you?"

He's a sissy coward, not someone you'd want to mess with.

He was merely responsible for carrying out someone's plan.

Just thinking about that person made Chu Jiang's eyes flash with disgust: He was a heartless bastard.

In comparison, he could be described as "kind and upright".

The Crown Prince: Heh.
