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

Chapter 39 He's the idiot.

Finally, she seemed to be startled awake. Although she was facing him, her eyes no longer met his: "You're awake. Then... then I'll go back first."

After Qin Su finished speaking, she turned around and walked out without waiting for the man's reaction.

Chu Jiang remained in his original position, watching indifferently as the figure fled in panic.

Feeling familiar yet unfamiliar emotions rising from the depths of my heart: rage, anger, hatred... and the grievance of being abandoned once again.

Didn't I already know this would happen?

No matter who it is, once they know his identity, they will choose to run away.

He wanted to forcefully keep the little girl there.

Once he speaks, no one dares to disobey. Whether she likes it or not, in this place, everything is under his control.

What gives her the right to betray him?
A surge of emotions, one wave higher than the next, crashed against his chest, almost shattering his reason.

But he didn't say a word until that slender figure disappeared through the door, letting her leave like that.

However, in reality, Qin Su was stopped as soon as she stepped into the courtyard:

"Where are you going, young lady? Has His Highness regained consciousness?"

The one speaking was the white-bearded imperial physician. Qin Su heard someone call him Imperial Physician Su.

She nodded, then shook her head, as if realizing something was wrong, before finally speaking: "He...he's awake. I need to go home."

Her voice trembled slightly, like a frightened little flower.

Physician Su was fine when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, his beard practically bristled: "You can't leave!"

Qin Su froze, her almond-shaped eyes blank and innocent: "W-why?"

"Because you are the only one..."

"let her go."

Before Imperial Physician Su could finish his excited words, he was interrupted by a hoarse, gloomy male voice coming from inside the room.

Imperial Physician Su was reluctant to agree: "Your Highness, you mustn't! This young lady..."

"Don't make me say it a second time."

The undisguised threat and intimidation in the voice made the imperial physician choke on his words.

Although the Seventh Prince has regained consciousness, he seems even more terrifying than when he was ill.

After all, when the illness strikes, the harm is unintentional, but once the person is conscious, it becomes a targeted attack!
Ultimately, the physician had no choice but to temporarily compromise, though he remained determined to find out the girl's origins.

But no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than he saw—

The other person crawled into a dog hole behind the lawn not far away... Huh?
Imperial Physician Su stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Liu Ying coughed, looking up at the sky and down at the other man's questioning gaze, but refusing to meet his eyes.

What does it have to do with him? He wasn't the one who let people crawl in.
-
When Imperial Physician Su entered the room, he saw an incomparably handsome man leaning against the headboard, his dark eyes seemingly lost in thought.

He was sitting there, yet there was an indescribable gloom and obscurity about him, as if his whole being was shrouded in a layer of black mist.

Imperial Physician Su sighed inexplicably, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "This woman is useful for Your Highness's condition. His Majesty has already ordered that she remain by Your Highness's side..."

Before he could finish speaking, the previously listless and dejected man on the bed suddenly looked at him.

That sharp, cold gaze made Imperial Physician Su's heart tighten...
-
[Host, everyone next door is talking about you, wondering who you are and how you managed to 'control' the tyrant like that.]

The system wanted to say that the host's acting skills were so good that even the system was amazed.

If the host ever decides to become an actor instead of a psychologist, his looks and acting skills will be absolutely amazing!

Qin Su had no intention of chatting with the system; upon returning, she used the "high-tech" method to boil water.

Then she took a shower and went to bed. She was really tired after all that, and all she wanted to do was sleep; she'd deal with everything else after she woke up.
-
Here, she lay on the bed and slept soundly, while next door, the imperial physician prescribed new medicine and had it brewed and delivered by the kitchen.

This time, the Seventh Prince was surprisingly cooperative. He took the bowl of dark, bitter medicine and drank it without even blinking.

This surprised even the imperial physicians.

You should know that His Highness used to hate taking medicine, and it was difficult for him to finish it without some fuss.

But the surprises didn't end there. When dinner was served, he didn't get angry or pick at his food as usual.

The imperial physician advised, "Your Highness has just been injured; you should eat something, no matter what."

Chu Jiang looked at the table full of delicious food, the color, aroma and taste of which were far superior to what the girl next door had made.

As he looked at the bowl and chopsticks, he seemed to be thinking of something, and slowly picked them up.

The imperial physician stood guard by his side, initially worried that he wouldn't eat, but now he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

When he saw that Ye Fan wasn't faking it and was genuinely reaching out with his chopsticks to pick up food, he couldn't help but exchange a glance with Ye Fan, and they saw joy in each other's eyes.

The man, who had just put the food in his mouth, suddenly started gagging.

It felt as if what I had just eaten wasn't food, but poison.

"This……"

The imperial physician couldn't help but frown as he looked at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with worry.

The light in Ye Fan's eyes also disappeared. It was because His Highness would vomit if he forced himself to eat that he acquiesced to Liu Ying's suggestion to have food sent over from next door.

The imperial physician, unwilling to give up, urged Chu Jiang to try other dishes, but unsurprisingly, he vomited them all.

He barely drank any soup, but it was clear that His Highness didn't like it.

"This is strange..."

Imperial Physician Su couldn't help but speak up: "I just took His Highness's pulse, and it's clear that His Highness's health has improved recently; he's been eating well..."

"That's because Your Highness has been eating the meals cooked by the girl next door these days," Ye Fan said, revealing the truth.

Without a second thought, Imperial Physician Su said, "Then let her continue! Since His Highness can eat it, it means..."

"No one is allowed to go!"

Chu Jiang had already put down his chopsticks and bowl, raised his head, and said in a terrifyingly cold tone: "Anyone who dares to go to her, I'll kill him!"

Those who know him well know that his appearance is definitely not a joke.

Imperial Physician Su: ...Why does it feel like the Seventh Prince has been targeting me all day?
-
[Host, that old man next door is secretly plotting with the tyrant to get the emperor to beg the prime minister for your help!] the system excitedly said.

Qin Su paused in her reading, then asked, "Beg me? What do you mean?"

[You could become a concubine, maid, servant, cook... anything is possible. You choose one, host.]

"That's impossible." Qin Su finally reacted.

She may have a strategy guide, but she's not here to be a man's concubine.
-
That night, the neighboring courtyard was brightly lit, and the candle in the man's room burned all night without going out.

The person Chu Jiang was waiting for never appeared again.

As dawn broke, he finally relinquished that last vestige of delusion.

He sneered, unsure whether he was laughing at himself or at others: "Men, pack your things, prepare to move!"

One sentence was enough to rouse all the guards who had been waiting in the courtyard all night.

And he realized that, sure enough, he was the fool.
