Chapter 224 Darling, look carefully who I am?
"Remind me to get up early tomorrow morning."

After speaking with the system, Qin Su went to sleep.

The tyrant will lead his troops back to the capital tomorrow, and the people in the streets will flock to watch the army's return.

She also wanted to see the heroic figure of the returning war god as recorded in history books.

She felt a little resentful that she couldn't see him off before he left, and she was determined to go and see him when she came back this time.

But no one expected that this wish would ultimately not be fulfilled.

"Who?"

She woke up suddenly in the middle of the night.

A soft chuckle came from the darkness, followed by a somewhat familiar male voice: "It's me."

This voice...

She was somewhat dazed, and her struggling movements stopped: "Ling Xiao..."

Her response was an overly hasty and burning kiss, which she was forced to endure, unable to help but frown and try to pull away: "Weren't you not coming back until tomorrow? Why..."

"I'm in a hurry to come back and see you; the army is still behind us."

After replying, the man didn't give her another chance to speak.

After a busy night, when it was time to set off for the city the next day to see the General return to the capital, Qin Su unsurprisingly fell asleep.

Knowing that Her Highness was going out today but hadn't gotten up yet, the maid who wasn't on duty last night was very surprised: "Didn't Her Highness say she was going to watch His Highness enter the city today? Why hasn't she returned yet?"

Last night, I was on night watch and knew all the maids: ...
-
When Qin Su woke up again, the sun was high in the sky, and there was no one beside her.

Even without the system reminder, she knew she had missed the time to enter the city.

However, her disappointment only lasted a moment before she became more cheerful, because the system told her: [Host, there's no need to be disappointed. The tyrant didn't go at all. His personal guards went into the city in his place.]

One sentence made Qin Su, who had already sat up, lie back down with a "thud".

To be honest, the tyrant's willful nature and unwillingness to be noticed by the people... she wasn't actually that surprised.

"I'm going to sleep a little longer. Wake me up in two hours."

This body hadn't exercised in a long time, and its physique was becoming increasingly frail. After a night of tossing and turning, she had just woken up suddenly because of her anticipation of watching the army enter the city!
Now that she knew she couldn't see anything, drowsiness washed over her again, and she drifted off to sleep.

However, she didn't get to sleep for two hours as she had hoped. Halfway through her sleep, she was woken up by a kiss.

When she opened her eyes and saw that familiar, handsome face, she was momentarily stunned: "Didn't you go to the palace?"

Over the course of a few months, the man had lost some weight, and his demeanor had become even more heroic and dignified, with a chilling aura between his brows. If it weren't for the fact that I had just slept with him last night and was already familiar with his scent, I would have been surprised.

The moment Qin Su saw it, she almost wanted to run away.

A man who has just been on the battlefield and seen blood is truly terrifying.

She unconsciously clenched her fingers, trying to calm her guilty conscience. Her beautiful eyes fell on the man's strong, sculpted features as she slowly processed this sense of unfamiliarity.

Chu Jiang held the soft, fragrant woman in his arms. When he heard her question, he pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "She has already shown herself. The rest are all left to the deputy general."

Although the old man clearly wanted to hear it from him personally, what business was it of his?
He had his sweet, soft wife to cuddle with, but instead went to talk to a bunch of smelly old men.

Are they worthy?

The high-ranking officials: That old geezer? Me?
Are you still sleeping?

Touching the girl's hands, which had grown cold, Chu Jiang pulled the blanket over her and wrapped them up.

After talking for a while, Qin Su was fully awake and shook her head upon hearing this: "No need, get up and have your meal."

"I'm not going to sleep anymore..."

The man's eyes seemed to hold a hint of regret, but it was unclear what he was regretting.

Qin Su pretended not to see it.

The maid was supposed to come in and help her master dress and wash up, but she ended up having all the work taken away from her.

And the people who were "stealing jobs" didn't dare say a word to them.
-
Chu Jiang entered the palace early in the morning and hasn't eaten anything yet. He said he was accompanying Qin Su, but he has eaten quite a lot himself.

The servants nearby didn't notice anything, only Qin Su knew what was going on.

During the tyrant's southern campaign, she actually visited him several times as a return visit.

Logically, such a bloody and adrenaline-fueled environment should have had a greater impact on his mental state, making him more prone to illness.

However, the truth is that when faced with a battlefield fraught with danger and constantly changing circumstances, men's brain cells become more active, their physical abilities are fully stimulated, and their spirits are highly active. In terms of both physical fitness and mental energy, they are superior to those they had in the capital.

Simply put, the battlefield environment is more suitable for his personality and physique. Not only did he not fall ill here, but his qualities in all aspects were improved. He is a born warrior!
He didn't fall ill in so many battles; instead, he displayed his military leadership skills and extraordinary physique, making him a true uncrowned king on the battlefield.

Following her "reminder," the tyrant secretly consulted a local doctor, who then prescribed some medicine.

With the combined intervention of psychotherapy and medication, his anorexia has improved significantly.

See, even without her special care, he can eat by himself.

Qin Su was almost certain that the problem lay with the dominant personality, and only he could answer his own questions.

Qin Su was staring at the tyrant's face, lost in thought. To the others present, it seemed as if the Empress was completely absorbed in thinking about His Highness.

Everyone else could see that Chu Jiang, with his exceptional senses and being the person in question, couldn't possibly have no reaction.

He smiled slightly, said nothing, but ate much faster than before.

Finally, after eating a few more bowls of rice, he put down the bowl, picked up the tea beside him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, he casually wiped his mouth and looked intently at the girl beside him: "Have you finished eating?"

Ok?
Qin Su snapped out of her daze upon hearing this, thinking that the tyrant was concerned about her, and said gently, "I'm full, you don't need to worry about me, just eat your... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, the man picked her up and said, "I'm full, it's my turn."

The maids seemed to realize something, and lowered their heads shyly, but couldn't suppress the smiles on their lips.

Qin Su was truly stunned this time, and subconsciously retorted, "You just..."

Then, under the man's increasingly dark and profound gaze, she was speechless.
-
Chu Jiang carried the person directly back to the room from yesterday, dismissed all the servants, and closed the door.

This stage took an entire afternoon.

However, the atmosphere in the room was not as glamorous as everyone had imagined.

Just once, the man buried his face in her chest and fell asleep.

After a night of running around and a bit of fooling around last night, even an iron body needs a rest.

Looking at the man whose brows were etched with exhaustion, Qin Su wanted to get up and give him her seat so he could sleep better.

Before he could even move, a strong arm pressed him back down, and a man's sleepy voice reached his ears: "Don't move!"

As he spoke, he pulled her closer into his arms, as if he were holding some treasured gem.

Qin Su: ……
-
This was probably the most restful sleep Chu Jiang had had in a long time.

Throughout, a familiar fragrance lingered in my nostrils, and my restless heart finally found a place of peace.

He woke up in the evening, only two hours later, but he was already more energetic than someone who had slept all day.

His eyes were shining brightly; he was the kind of person who could go back to the battlefield and fight another battle.

Qin Su would be considered exceptionally energetic even in modern times, and due to long-term physical training, her physical strength is better than many people.

However, when facing him, one has to admit that some people are just born with extraordinary energy.

Only such people can leave their mark in history.

Then that very night, she regretted it.

She had regained her strength, but she was still not human! For the next three days, she was unable to leave that room, and even her food was delivered to her door.

If it weren't for the fact that someone still had some sense of decency and knew that no one was allowed to guard the door, she would have gone crazy!

Who says the ancients were conservative? This is what you call conservative.
The palace staff were exceptionally considerate and didn't bother him at all.

They might even hope he works harder, ideally hitting the mark on his first strike, planting the seed so he can reap the harvest in ten months.

For Emperor Wen, who was eager to have a grandson, it didn't matter who was whose son it was, since they were all the same son.

As for Qin Su, the only one who "suffered": I really want to hit him on the head and beat him into a real madman.
A slender white hand emerged from the gauze curtain, as if struggling to escape.

They were quickly dragged back, and the hoarse male voice was muffled: "Baby, I miss you so much..."
-
His Highness the Crown Prince noticed something was wrong as soon as he woke up.

He could clearly feel the warmth in his arms. He lowered his head slightly and saw a beautiful face sleeping soundly. The girl's cheeks were flushed, her long eyelashes were drooping, and there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.

His breath almost stopped for a moment, and his eyes turned dark instantly.

"No, I want to sleep..."

His kiss had barely landed when it triggered a struggle from the girl in her sleep. Her voice was hoarse as she snuggled into his arms in a coquettish manner.

It should have been a heartwarming and endearing scene.

But the next moment, she was thrown onto the pillow.

When I opened my eyes, I was still groggy, my head felt like it was filled with cement and wouldn't turn.

Until the man's kiss landed with a hint of cruelty: "He beat me to it, didn't he?"

She still didn't react, and stammered, "How could you... hiss—"

Her lips were bitten hard, and she almost cried out, "It hurts."

However, the man, consumed by anger, jealousy, and lust, felt no pity.

The kiss was intense, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Ling Xiao, my husband, please don't do this..."

The girl's aggrieved voice rang out, and His Highness the Crown Prince paused, slightly rising to create some space, gazing at her with a half-smile: "Look carefully, who am I?"

Qin Su didn't react at first.

She was really sleepy.

But now, hearing the man's strange words and glancing at the subtitles above his head, Qin Su felt a chill run down her spine.

Her eyes widened in shock, and her voice trailed off uncertainly: "Crown Prince..."

"Good girl, so smart."

The man smiled, his beauty captivating, but there was little smile in his beautifully shaped phoenix eyes; instead, there was a chill in them.

The marks on his fair skin clearly told him what had happened in the past few days.

It was supposed to be his, how could it have been taken away?

Why should he?
The man was thinking seriously, and unconsciously he used more force in his hands.

The girl's cheeks instantly turned red.

"Get away from me, let me go!"

The first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to push him away and leave.

Undoubtedly, this action enraged the already emotionally unstable man.

He pinned the person down with one hand: "Go? Where are you going?"

Under the absolute suppression of power, Qin Su felt a long-lost fear.

A clear glint of hatred flashed in her beautiful eyes as she said viciously, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!"

Chu Junyan was not so easily provoked: "Why can't I touch you? You are originally mine."

Qin Su glared at him coldly: "I won't..."

The rest of the words were cut off by a kiss.

Sensing the man's intention, she hardened her heart and bit down.

He visibly stiffened for a moment.

Then it bit back.

The strong smell of blood instantly spread between their lips and teeth.

She was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face.

Madman, he is a madman.

But this time, even Qin Su didn't dare to bite again.

He was even more unruly than a tyrant.

"Please, please let me go... Please..."

Unable to struggle, she had no choice but to submit and beg, tears streaming down her face, pleading with him to spare her: "You are the Crown Prince, what kind of beauty haven't you had, I..."

"But I've only ever had my eye on you."

He is the crown prince, and no one can refuse him anything he wants.
-
The servants delivering meals at the door stopped in their tracks upon hearing the noise from inside the house.

Why did it start again?

Didn't it just stop this morning?

Ah, as expected of the God of War of the Great Qi, his stamina is truly unmatched!
As evening fell, His Highness the Crown Prince, dressed in his finest attire, carried a person who was wrapped up tightly in his arms onto the carriage leading to the palace.

With his return, the little girl's days away from home came to an end.

Qin Su woke up in the car.

Looking at the unfamiliar space, her mind went blank for a moment.

"woke up?"

A pleasant, slightly husky male voice came from the side, and the next moment she was pulled into a familiar embrace.

Before she could react, a cup of fragrant tea was placed to her lips.

The tea, served at a low temperature, stung her lips. But she was so thirsty that she drank it all from the man's hand.

She seemed to hear a gentle laugh, and finally, as her mind cleared, she remembered what had happened.

He, they...

The girl's instantly pale face did not escape Chu Junyan's notice; he knew she had remembered everything.

"Why? Why do you do this to me?"

The girl raised her head, her starry eyes, which even amazed him, were now filled with tears. As she spoke, a tear rolled down her snowy cheek.

She is so charming and pitiful, captivating people without their knowledge.

His Highness the Crown Prince's Adam's apple bobbed, and his hand tightened around the girl's waist, holding her possessively in his arms: "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Is there any difference between him and me to you? Why can he be like this, but I can't?"

The girl looked blank, as if she couldn't understand what he was saying.

He reached out his long, slender fingers to wipe away her tears, his touch as gentle as a lover's: "We both used the same body, and even though my status is higher than his. Do you still feel you prefer his strength..."

"Don't say it!"

The girl, who had been waiting to hear what he had to say, quickly covered his thin lips with her hand as he uttered those outrageous words. Her face turned bright red, and she looked beautiful and charming.
