The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 68 I hate you, Jiang Jinshuang.

It stretches endlessly.

Her sobbing was tinged with a coquettish charm, and Jiang Jinshuang reacted almost instantly.

Oops.

Her Uncle Wang has really good stamina.

Pei Du, sitting on the edge of the bed, remained oblivious.

He sat upright, his hands neatly placed on his thighs, his posture tall and straight, his black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

The smell of alcohol was masked by the floral fragrance emanating from the young woman.

Pei Du pursed his lips slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and looked straight ahead without glancing at her.

Jiang Jinshuang's clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Just before opening the door, he deliberately tugged at his collar a few times, making the attendants outside look like they were drunk and hadn't woken up yet.

She didn't pay much attention, but when she heard the soft moans coming from next door, she became interested.

She turned over and sat on the bed, bent one leg, put her arm on her leg, and rested her chin on her hand to eavesdrop on the corner of the wall.

"Ah~ Your Highness, Your Highness, spare me~"

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me~"

"Your Highness, you are so amazing, I'm about to cry..."

Tsk tsk tsk, look at this, they've already had their fun during the day, and they can still keep it going at night.

Just as he was listening intently, Pei Du beside him slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinshuang snapped out of her daze and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Turning around, the man's gaze was ordinary, and his tone was calm: "It's too late, you should rest."

If it weren't for the lingering flush on his cheeks, Jiang Jinshuang would never have believed that Pei Du was drunk.

Jiang Jinshuang chuckled lightly, giving Pei Du in front of her an ambiguous look.

A desire for revenge began to rise.

"Pei Du."

"Ah."

"Beg for mercy to me."

Jiang Jinshuang raised her chin, sat on the bed, and looked down at the man below.

Pei Du was very obedient when he was drunk.

He is still wearing that black and gold robe.

dignified and composed, with understated brilliance.

Upon hearing Jiang Jinshuang's words, a hint of confusion flashed across the man's face.

Dressed in brocade robes and with dark hair, he exuded an air of refined elegance and aloofness.

As if seriously considering her question, Pei Du slowly asked, "How do you beg for mercy?"

"Can't you even beg for mercy?"

Jiang Jinshuang blinked, sat up straight, crossed her legs and looked at him: "It means kneeling in front of me and saying things like, 'Your Highness, please forgive me, I beg you to have mercy and spare this humble subject.'"

Pei Du asked earnestly, "Why should I beg for mercy?"

Jiang Jinshuang frowned, feeling that Pei Du was talking a lot of nonsense when he was drunk.

"Because you have displeased me, I am not happy."

Upon hearing this, Pei Du's expression tightened slightly, and he carefully asked, "Then shall I apologize to you?"

“No good,” Jiang Jinshuang sneered, “I don’t need your apology. I want you to kneel down and beg for mercy.”

"Will you calm down if you beg for mercy?"

Jiang Jinshuang thought about it carefully for a moment: "It depends on my mood, but if you don't beg for mercy, I will definitely not be appeased."

Upon hearing this, Pei Du's handsome brows furrowed deeply.

The candlelight in the room flickered and crackled a few more times.

The moon hangs low above the treetops, its hazy, bright light filtering through the window lattice and spilling into the room, leaving a blanket of white on the floor.

Intertwined with the warm yellow candlelight, a distinction between warm and cool.

Jiang Jinshuang found it boring.

—Even when he's drunk, Pei Du seems to be quite boring.

Thinking this, Jiang Jinshuang was about to tell him to go to the outer room when—

The man, dressed in a magnificent robe, lifted the hem of his robe and knelt properly before Jiang Jinshuang.

His kneeling posture was perfectly correct, without the slightest flaw.

In the past, when Pei Du first entered officialdom, his eating, sleeping, sitting and walking habits were all recorded by someone who was interested in writing a book called "Daily Records of Pei Du's Life," which became a bestseller in the capital and was very popular for a time.

Lord Pei's manners are the most impeccable in the entire capital.

This is a consensus reached by everyone in Chang'an.

Now, the man who was always dignified and refined was kneeling at Jiang Jinshuang's feet, looking up at her.

His eyes were as black as ink.

Jiang Jinshuang raised an eyebrow, a hint of something flashing in her eyes.

She took back her previous thought!

—A drunken Pei Du is much more fun than usual!
She still looked down at him: "Pei Du, beg for mercy." Pei Du then straightened up and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I beg you to have mercy and spare this humble subject."

The sound is like jade, clear and melodious.

Jiang Jinshuang: "..."

How come this statement hasn't changed at all?

There's absolutely no emotion involved.

She clicked her tongue and said unhappily, "Pei Du, why don't you learn from the woman next door how she begs for mercy? Can't you put a little emotion into it?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Du pursed his lips and said, "Don't listen to what is improper."

Jiang Jinshuang scoffed coldly; she wasn't wearing shoes or socks.

Her fair and delicate feet slowly moved up the man's chest, lifting his chin.

Jiang Jinshuang's clothes were disheveled, and beneath the layers of clothing, the woman's soft, fair skin was visible.

Pei Du's ears turned red.

Jiang Jinshuang chuckled softly from above: "Does Lord Pei know the saying 'Do not look at what is improper'?"

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Pei Du quickly looked away.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if the court officials saw me like this, they would surely smash me to death with their memorials."

Jiang Jinshuang looked at the handsome Pei Du in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

The noise from next door grew louder, without any restraint.

"You little vixen, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

"Oh my, what a fragrant little mouth! Let me taste it, and see if the rest of your mouth smells just as good..."

"..."

Jiang Jinshuang listened with great interest: "Judging from the voices, there are at least four women they brought."

As she said this, Jiang Jinshuang looked at Pei Du beneath her with a leisurely air: "Lord Pei, it seems there are some things you can learn from your Uncle Wang."

Jiang Jinshuang was mocking him.

Pei Du pursed his lips slightly, his dark eyes unfathomable.

His gaze toward Jiang Jinshuang darkened slightly, as if he were somewhat displeased: "I hate you, Jiang Jinshuang."

cut.

A threat with no offensive capabilities.

Jiang Jinshuang sneered indifferently and stood up from the bed.

It was getting a bit chilly, so Jiang Jinshuang went to the outer room to close the window.

She had only taken a few steps when the man behind her stood up and grabbed the hem of her dress.

"I don't dislike it." Behind him, Pei Du's trembling voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't even realize what it meant.

His hand gripping her sleeve tightened slightly: "Jiang Jinshuang, I don't dislike her."

Realizing what was happening, Jiang Jinshuang chuckled lightly, "I was just going to close the window."

Upon hearing this, Pei Du pursed his lips slightly before releasing his grip on her sleeve.

Jiang Jinshuang closed the window and stood in the outer room. By the light of the candlelight in the room, she could see the figure guarding outside the door.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go out first to distract them, then you leave the room and avoid them."

She gave Pei Du some instructions, then climbed into bed and drew the curtains.

Jiang Jinshuang has come to terms with it.

Since she forced him first, it's understandable that he would seek revenge.

Putting all that aside, Pei Du was, after all, a pillar of the court, and Wan Jin needed such a powerful minister.

She decided to avoid him from then on, pretending they weren't close.

The noise from the next room finally subsided.

Jiang Jinshuang closed her eyes, preparing to rest, ignoring Pei Du.

Outside the curtain, Pei Du took a few steps back to dissipate the smell of alcohol from his body.

"Jiang Jinshuang".

Through the curtains, Jiang Jinshuang heard the man's clear and deep voice.

With her eyes closed, she gave a nonchalant "hmm".

“I upset you yesterday while I was catching fish.”

Jiang Jinshuang yawned and chuckled, "What's wrong with me?"

for a long time.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and its brightness vanished.

Inside the curtain, Jiang Jinshuang turned over, her back to Pei Du's position.

Slightly intoxicated, Jiang Jinshuang drifted off to sleep.

In my hazy consciousness, it seemed that Pei Du in my dream said something.

"I should act all pathetic to make you happy."
