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

Chapter 227 The Reason for the Emergence of the Crown Prince's Personality

Can I talk to you?

Qin Su imitated the boy and casually sat down on the grass next to him.

The young prince glanced at her but said nothing.

She took it as his tacit consent.

She smiled and cut to the chase: "Do you know when he showed up?"

The young prince's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and images seemed to ripple before his eyes...

That was yet another time when he failed to memorize the content assigned by the Grand Tutor and was locked in a dark side hall by his mother.

He was terrified and desperately wanted to get out.

But he knew that no one would come to his rescue until his mother calmed down.

He could only wait.

But this time, it was different from the past.

Not long after he was imprisoned, the voice of a eunuch announcing an imperial decree suddenly rang out outside the room—

The Empress Dowager reprimanded the palace maid who had taken care of him since childhood for her negligence, which led to his neglect of his studies and ambitions. Therefore, she ordered her to be beaten to death.

The palace maid was crying and begging for mercy, but soon, the sound of execution came from outside.

He knew what it meant to be beaten to death. Not long ago, the young eunuch who had grown up with him was also beaten to death for "corrupting" him.

He was terrified and frantically pounded on the door, trying to get out: "Mother, I've been obedient, I'll be obedient from now on, please let him go!"

However, even after he clapped until his hands hurt and his voice became hoarse, no one came to open the door for him.

The sounds of execution continued, but the palace maid's cries, which had started out shrill, gradually grew weaker.

One sound after another, as if something was scraping his bones, causing him pain and trembling.

When someone finally opened the door, he was almost completely exhausted. He scrambled out, only to see a blood-soaked, mangled corpse being dragged away by palace servants, leaving a long trail on the ground.

The palace maid's eyes were wide open, only half of her tongue remained, and her mouth was full of blood...

He was so frightened that he cried loudly. His wet nurse tried to hold him, but his mother stopped her.

“If you can’t stand up again, even more people will die because of you.”

After leaving those words, he was locked in a side hall again.

As he lay on the ground in the deepest pain and despair, a strange voice suddenly rang out: "Stand up, don't cry."

This was the Crown Prince's first appearance.

"Who, who's talking?" He was terrified and desperately tried to squeeze through the door, his whole body ice-cold.

The cold voice said, "I am you."

He was stunned: "What?"

"Give your body to me, and you will no longer be in pain."

"Won't it hurt?"

"Yes. I will take care of everything for you, and no one can hurt you anymore."

"But Queen Mother..."

"She can't either."

He was in so much pain at that time, he just wanted to escape. After receiving the prince's approval, he agreed and gave himself to him.
-
Compared to his dull-witted self, Crown Prince Junyan was naturally intelligent and possessed extraordinary energy. Many things that seemed extremely difficult to the young prince became easy for him.

He seemed to be the perfect crown prince who grew up according to his mother's expectations. He not only surpassed all his brothers in his studies, but also won his father's favor because of his intelligence and wit.

Upon hearing this, Qin Su's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that Crown Prince Junyan was the person who protected the young prince when the latter was being suppressed, feeling guilty, emotionally broken, and self-loathing.

And because Crown Prince Junyan was so reliable, he truly kept his promise to solve all the difficulties, allowing him to relax and only focus on having fun.

Gradually, the young prince became less vigilant and allowed his body to be controlled by him for a long time.
-
"Those two years were the gentlest I've ever seen my mother..."

Until one day, she suddenly realized that her "perfect" son seemed to have his own ideas and was becoming less obedient.

He dared to openly defy her orders, and even used "etiquette" at the palace banquet to control her, forbidding her from interfering with his studies.

Realizing this, the Empress Dowager was furious and tried to "control" him using the same methods as before.

This time, the wet nurse was the one being "punished".

However, unlike his cowardly and timid nature, Crown Prince Junyan was much more assertive and ruthless.

He personally dealt with the wet nurse right in front of his mother.

His face remained gentle and warm throughout: "There's no need to trouble Mother. Your son knows he can't be 'womanly kind.' Having such a 'handle' by your side is certainly not a good thing."

He was too calm; he didn't even blink until his wet nurse collapsed.

Instead, it startled his mother, who wanted to "punish" him; she seemed not to recognize her son anymore.

That was the first time the Empress Dowager had suffered a defeat, and she almost fled in disarray.

But before the Empress Dowager could be shocked for long, the next day, her close aunt, who had followed her into the palace for many years and had grown up with her, suddenly disappeared.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone.

Until the Imperial Penal Office reported that she had stolen something from the Crown Prince, and after being arrested, interrogated, and beaten to death.

He began to retaliate in the same way she had retaliated against him.

The Empress Dowager was shocked for a long time.

It wasn't until they switched back into their bodies that he went to pay his respects, only to be stopped outside the palace, and that he learned what had happened.

That was the first time he felt how terrifying Crown Prince Junyan was.

He was somewhat reluctant to give his body to him.

But by then, he had already lost control of himself.

Because of his long period of escape, Crown Prince Junyan seemed to have better control over his body than he did.

Before the assassination, his relationship with his mother had almost reached a freezing point.
-
As Qin Su listened to the young boy recount these things in a calm voice beyond his years, her breathing seemed to become lighter.

“My mother taught me that there is no kinship in the royal family, and one must seize power. I can’t do it, but he does it very well.”

It's not just good, it's ridiculously good.

Faced with the choice between "family ties and power," the Crown Prince perfectly followed the Empress's teachings, choosing power at the crucial moment.

After another argument between mother and son, he tricked his father into revealing several things his mother had done in private, which angered his father.

The Empress Dowager was confined to her quarters.

This is also why the Empress Dowager refused to see him from then on: the first thing the perfect crown prince she had painstakingly created did after he grew up was to target her.

She couldn't accept it.

After hearing this, Qin Su remained silent for a long while.

Surprised, but not too surprised.

She had actually guessed these things before, but this meeting provided her with more detailed information.

She slowly sorted out her thoughts and prepared to ask more questions about the "tyrant" personality.

But before they could even get started, the young boy shushed them, saying, "He's awake. You should go back now. Remember not to mention me to him."

Qin Su was stunned. She wanted to say something more, but it was too late.

Just like before, there was another thick white fog.

When I opened my eyes again, where were the grasslands and the little prince?

She found herself back in the dream conference room.

On the other side, the prince, who had been successfully hypnotized, had already opened his eyes.

Seeing the girl's expression as if she had just woken up from a dream, Chu Junyan curled the corners of his mouth: "What did you see?" Qin Su came back to her senses, lowered her head, wrote a few words on the note, and then pushed it toward him.

Chu Junyan looked down and saw that the note only had three words written on it—"Protector".

He raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Qin Su looked at him: "Does that mean you were born to protect?"

The man's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes seemed to have turned colder: "Oh? What did you see?"

Qin Su tilted her head: "I didn't see much. You woke up. But if you're willing to continue..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man raised his hand to interrupt her: "Since you didn't see it, let's stop here."

Qin Su was surprised and was about to ask something when she was ejected from the dream.

The moment I opened my eyes, a system alarm sounded in my mind:

[Warning! Crown Prince's favorability -10%]

Qin Su: !!!
"what?"
-
Chu Junyan opened his eyes: "The protector?"

The young eunuch guarding the door, head bowed and half-asleep, was suddenly startled awake by the sound of the door opening: "Your Highness?"

However, the man completely ignored him and walked away.

He walked quickly, leaving a chill in his wake.

The little eunuch stood there stunned for a while before realizing that something might be about to happen. It was too late to catch up, so he turned around and went to find Steward Liu to save the day!
-
"Attend the Crown Prince's Hall..."

Just like before, Chu Junyan only said one word: "Get lost!"

The palace maid guarding the gate turned pale and hurriedly stepped aside, letting the crown prince push the door open and go in.

On the bed in the room, the girl's eyes were closed, and she was fast asleep.

Her slender, white neck was wrapped in layers of snow-white gauze, which contrasted sharply with her pale face, making her look delicate and pitiful.

Chu Junyan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes lowered as he gazed at the girl on the bed, his expression dark and unfathomable.

The terrifying atmosphere alone makes it hard to breathe.

He sat on the edge of the bed for an unknown amount of time, then suddenly reached out and pulled back the blanket covering the girl.

Before she was awakened, he tore off his belt and grabbed her hands, wrapping them tightly around them.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

The girl woke up, her face filled with indescribable panic. She tried to struggle, but her hands wouldn't move: "Let me go! Let me go!"

However, the man had already removed his outer robe, revealing his muscular chest. His long, slender fingers gripped her delicate chin, and he said coldly:

"You can die if you want. Even if you die in bed this time, I won't stop you."

Then, under the girl's terrified gaze, he ripped down the bed curtains...
-
Liu Gonggong, who was sound asleep, was suddenly awakened. He walked around adjusting his belt, afraid that delaying him would cause trouble.

Even though he rushed all the way, he was still a step too late.

"What happened? The Crown Prince went inside?"

Hearing the sounds coming from inside the room, Eunuch Liu looked at the palace maid beside him in shock.

His eyes screamed: "Beast!"

"Doesn't Your Highness know that the Consort's injuries require rest? Didn't any of you remind him?"

Liu Gonggong couldn't help but feel angry.

The palace maids had no choice but to suffer in silence. When the Crown Prince arrived, he was so imposing that no one dared to stop him.

"What do we do now...?"

Every day, Eunuch Liu would frown deeply and mutter to himself, but like everyone else, he dared not stop anything.

The Crown Prince is favoring his concubine, and you, a mere eunuch, dare to stop him?
I just need to arrange for the imperial physician as soon as possible, and hopefully nothing bad will happen...

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. If there hadn't been people around, he would have wanted to pray to the heavens.
-
Chu Junyan looked down at the tired girl who had fallen asleep.

It looks so pitiful; even when it's asleep, it has a furrowed brow.

There seemed to be blood on her neck again, staining the gauze red.

A flicker of heartache crossed his eyes: "Sang Sang..."

He reached out to touch her face, but the moment he touched it, he suddenly snapped to attention and said in a deep voice, "Summon the imperial physician!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu, who was pacing anxiously outside, suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Quickly, quickly find the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician, who was already waiting in the side hall, arrived soon after.

He took the pulse of the concubine through the bed curtain, keeping his eyes down and not daring to look around.

"The sexual intercourse..." The imperial physician, a man of considerable experience, said, "It was a bit too vigorous. The concubine is of weak constitution; she only fainted, but there's nothing seriously wrong. I will prescribe medicine immediately, but she will need to rest and recuperate..."

But inwardly he couldn't help but think, "Everyone says the Crown Prince doesn't get close to women, I'm afraid there might be something wrong with him."

There is a problem, the problem is that it's too amazing!

Currently, the Crown Prince only has one concubine, which may not be able to withstand the strain. It seems we should find an opportunity to speak cautiously to the Emperor and arrange for His Highness to have more concubines.

The imperial physician quickly reviewed the list of prescriptions and then went outside to get the medicine.

Chu Junyan looked at the unconscious girl with a deep gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
-
When Qin Su woke up the next day, she felt unwell all over, as if she had been beaten with sticks.

The wound on my neck, however, only looked bad after the medication was applied; it actually didn't hurt anymore.

"Bastard, you son of a bitch..."

She, who always prided herself on being a civilized person, couldn't help but start cursing this time.

Qin Su suspected that the Crown Prince had suddenly gone mad because she had touched on his secret.

After all, having known each other for so long, apart from that time when he almost angered me by running away, and the time he almost… in the carriage, most of the time he was always in control, manipulating everyone.

This might be the first time he's been so vulnerable.

"But something's still not right..."

Qin Su frowned, thinking, but still couldn't quite figure it out.

The system whispered: [Something's wrong with the host?]

The system was actually a little heartbroken. It had finally seen the mission making great progress, but then a useless hypnosis spell caused its favorability to drop by 10%. The system really wanted to cry, you know.

However, the system dared not offend its host, so it only dared to mutter to itself and never mentioned it to Qin Su.

"That's not right..."

What angered him was Dr. Su. Why would he come and lash out at "Qin Sangsang"? It's as if... he already knew her identity, so he deliberately came to "take revenge".

Yes, she saw someone's actions as revenge.

Qin Su shook her head again: "It's still not right. How could he know? How could he possibly know..."

The system was equally bewildered after hearing her question.

So, should we know or not?

Unfortunately, no one can answer it.

"Anyway..."

Finally, Qin Su came to a rueful conclusion: "His reaction was so strong, it will probably be even more difficult to hypnotize him next time."

Ah, then this...

Before the system could finish speaking, it was interrupted by the sound of the door being suddenly pushed open—

His Highness the Crown Prince, dressed in bright yellow robes, walked in, exuding a much more imposing aura than usual.

Meeting the girl's stubborn, reddened eyes, his first words were: "She didn't die, did she?"

Qin Su suddenly wanted to call out the young prince: Is this the one you said he likes me?
