Witch, don't do anything reckless!

Chapter 98 The Taste of the Crown Prince's Wife

After Li Chuqiu's righteous and stern warning, Chu Wanqing realized that he had misunderstood something and finally behaved himself.

"By the way, what brings you here today?"

Li Chuqiu then remembered that this enchantress had suddenly come to find him today. What was her purpose?

purpose?

Chu Wanqing then remembered her purpose for coming here today—revenge!

To avenge the humiliation I suffered a few days ago!

And also—accountability!

As if remembering something, Chu Wanqing's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Hmph, you were being mean to me just now, weren't you?!"

That vixen, she changes her face so quickly!

One second he's all smiles, the next he suddenly turns hostile, without any warning —

Li Chuqiu glanced at her: "Are you trying to pick a fight again?"

"So what if it is?!"

Chu Wanqing stared at him with a hint of hostility in her alluring eyes: "You took advantage of my injury last time to bully and coerce me, and just now you were so mean to me—tell me, shouldn't I settle this score with you?"

Faced with the woman's sudden cold demeanor, Li Chuqiu felt something was amiss, but she was naturally fearless.

If this woman really wanted to harm him, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

Besides, she can't kill herself now.

Li Chuqiu silently felt the faint, tangible pull in his heart—it was the secret technique he had forced this demoness Chu to plant in the underground palace last time.

Li Chuqiu tried to tease it with her aura, bumping into that guiding aura.

Chu Wanqing, who had been wearing a cold and aggressive expression, trembled. As if realizing something, she suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes wide with embarrassment and anger, and demanded, "What are you doing?!"

Hey, such a strong reaction?

Li Chuqiu controlled her aura and continued to tease her.

"Stop it right now—don't touch it!"

Chu Wanqing was furious.

Seeing this, Li Chuqiu immediately felt relieved.

"Don't rush, I'll just try it and see if it still works."

Chu Wanqing: "————"

Her alluring eyes widened, clearly furious.

This is hardly a trial.

It was clearly a deliberate threat to warn her!

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I can't kill you!"

Chu Wanqing glared at him through gritted teeth.

"Isn't this just for my own safety?"

Li Chuqiu looked at her and said, "As long as you don't do anything reckless, I definitely won't do anything reckless either."

Chu Wanqing took several deep breaths to suppress the frustration in her heart.

That was a real miscalculation!

That night in the underground palace, she was forced to undergo such an unequal secret technique, which caused this guy to completely lose his fear of her.

They even started using this to blackmail her!

This infuriated Chu Wanqing!

But there was nothing they could do.

"How despicable! All they know is to use such underhanded methods."

After a long pause, Chu Wanqing spoke with a face full of indignation.

Master was right after all. You can't trust what good-looking men say, and you have to be very wary of them!

She only fell for this scoundrel's tricks because she didn't listen to her master's advice!

Li Chuqiu glanced at her: "How is this vulgar? If you hadn't wanted to kill me, would I need to defend myself like this?"

"When did I ever want to kill you?"

"Can you honestly say you've never had such a thought?"

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Soon, Chu Wanqing looked away guiltily.

Okay, she did have that thought.

But, but————

Chu Wanqing quickly realized something, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, and she sneered, "You still say you're not vulgar?"

"Then how do you explain stealing someone else's underwear?!"

Li Chuqiu: "?"

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?

"It's not like I stole it from you, what's the rush?"

Chu Wanqing was furious.

What do you mean by "didn't steal from her"?

It's obvious that he stole her good points, isn't it?

—Stealing from her, yet thinking it wasn't hers?

Chu Wanqing became even angrier.

"So whose are you trying to steal?!"

Chu Wanqing stared at him.

"Who cares whose it is I stealing—no, what do you mean by stealing? I didn't steal anything!"

Li Chuqiu almost got caught up in her trap.

"If you didn't steal it, then where did you get it from?!" Chu Wanqing remained aggressive.

"I already said, I found it."

"Where did you find it?"

Li Chuqiu: "————"

Several days have passed, and this woman has already taken the undergarment. Why is she still clinging to it?

Why are you asking this?

"I----"

Chu Wanqing was about to speak, but then fell silent.

She certainly couldn't say that the undergarment was hers.

But if she didn't get to the bottom of it, she would feel very upset.

This undergarment was clearly stolen from the Crown Princess's bathhouse.

Did he mistake this undergarment for Song Zhiwei's?

This scoundrel, does he have ulterior motives towards Song Zhiwei?

This thought made Chu Wanqing's heart tighten.

"Why can't I ask? You're so lewd, you must be thinking of—doing something bad with it, right?!"

Chu Wanqing stared intently at Li Chuqiu. If he dared to nod in agreement, Chu Wanqing would smash his head in.

"Nonsense!"

Li Chuqiu flatly denied it, stating firmly, "I did it for important business!"

"What important matter is it?"

Unsure why this enchantress was so interested, Li Chuqiu still had to explain and protect her reputation: "I just felt that it looked somewhat familiar."

"familiar?"

Chu Wanqing was clearly taken aback.

"The aura... the aura above seems somewhat familiar—"

Li Chuqiu recalled the undergarment he had encountered in the bathhouse that day. With his extremely keen sense of smell, he sensed a familiar scent on it, but he couldn't quite place it. It was as if he had smelled it somewhere before.

In the heat of the moment, Li Chuqiu casually stuffed it into his pocket, intending to study it more carefully later when he had time—but before he could take it back, Chu Wanqing intercepted it.

"Speaking of which, the aura emanating from that place—"

At this moment, Li Chuqiu seemed to remember something, and her gaze suddenly fell on Chu Wanqing.

Seeing Li Chuqiu's gaze suddenly fall on her, Chu Wanqing was startled and instinctively reached out to protect her chest, taking a step back: "What... what do you want to do?!"

Did he smell his own scent and recognize it as similar to that undergarment?

Li Chuqiu didn't think in that direction. After all, she had only caught a faint scent of familiarity at the time, and several days had passed, so she had almost forgotten about it.

"In short, I absolutely do not have the kind of filthy thoughts you imagine. It's you who—"

Li Chuqiu looked at her, then suddenly remembered something: "Where did you take it?"

"It's lost!"

"Where did you lose it?"

"What, you still want to pick it up?!" Chu Wanqing stared at him.

"It's just a tattered undergarment, why would I make such a fuss?"

Li Chuqiu said irritably.

"snort!"

Chu Wanqing looked somewhat uneasy and gave a soft snort: "Who knows?"

"Oh right, you still haven't told me about that thing I asked you last time."

At this moment, Li Chuqiu suddenly remembered something, looked up, and saw Chu Wanqing's strange expression. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

"what?"

Chu Wanqing suddenly came to her senses, her face becoming even rosier, adding a touch of allure to her already beautiful face.

Li Chuqiu had to admit—this woman was truly beautiful.

Every gesture she makes exudes a charming and mature aura. Not to mention, she is a fox spirit who has come to life, possessing an innate talent for radiating charm and seducing men.

Li Chuqiu stared for a moment, then came to her senses and asked about the important matter.

"Did you kill the Prince Jing's heir?"

He knew that the enchanting woman before him was one of the witnesses who had been present at the scene on the night the Prince Jing's heir was assassinated!

It is also highly likely that he is the murderer!

I finally have time today to talk to her and get to the bottom of this.

Chu Wanqing seemed to have thought of something, stared at Li Chuqiu, and asked in return, "You think it's me?"

"uncertain."

Li Chuqiu shook her head: "However, many people think so."

Chu Wanqing's gaze sharpened: "Besides you, who else could it be?"

Li Chuqiu spoke: "You were there the night Prince Jing's heir died, and you even saw his corpse. Therefore, you are the most suspicious—a demon!"

"The Tianxuan Division is investigating you, and the Jingwang Mansion is also investigating you. Many eyes are watching you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanqing sneered, "No wonder! I was wondering why I'd been feeling like I was being watched lately!"

"So I've been framed by the murderer?!"

Chu Wanqing seemed somewhat annoyed.

Li Chuqiu stared at her: "So, you didn't kill him?"

"I did want to kill him, but I was too late!"

Chu Wanqing glanced at him, her voice low and somber: "Before I could even make a move, he was killed. When I heard the news, I planned to go check on him, but I ran into that ice-cold woman—"

'

"I suffered a huge loss at her hands—just thinking about it makes me so angry, it infuriates me!"

"That ice blockhead, I'll settle all my scores with her sooner or later, both old and new!"

Li Chuqiu remained silent.

The "ice-block woman" she was referring to was naturally Liu Xu.

That night, the two fought, and Chu Wanqing was no match for Liu Xu and suffered a great loss. But Liu Xu was also caught off guard and drugged—and suffered an even greater loss.

"If it wasn't you, then who killed Prince Jing's heir?"

"How would I know?"

"The Jing Prince's mansion has long been targeted by countless forces, and many want him dead—the imperial court, the common people, the demon race, all sides wish him dead. It wouldn't be surprising if he were killed by anyone!"

Li Chuqiu's gaze narrowed slightly. This meant the death of the Prince Jing's heir likely involved multiple factions. But to be able to kill the Prince Jing's heir so quietly within the Prince Jing's residence—

It doesn't seem like there are many!

A figure reappeared in Li Chuqiu's mind.

"What? You know who did it?"

Seeing Li Chuqiu deep in thought, Chu Wanqing immediately spoke up: "Tell me if you need to know—I'm going to get revenge for being unfairly blamed for someone else's crime!"

Li Chuqiu shook her head: "It's just a guess."

"Who?"

Li Chuqiu thought for a moment and slowly uttered a name: "The Crown Princess of Prince Jing".

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanqing, whose face had been filled with anger, froze. Then, her smile vanished: "Why did you guess it was her?"

"Is this your guess, or does Tianxuan Si suspect her?"

"This is my guess, but Tianxuansi probably has some doubts as well."

Li Chuqiu didn't notice the change in Chu Wanqing's expression. As if remembering something, she suddenly sneered, "That Crown Princess Consort has a lot of problems and is very suspicious."

Chu Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Have you met that Crown Princess?"

"We've met a few times."

Li Chuqiu nodded.

"And what do you think of her—that Crown Princess?"

Li Chuqiu recalled the pitiful, delicate face she had seen that day, and the woman who suddenly turned on her and betrayed her at the end. Her face remained expressionless: "A heart of a venomous snake, unfathomable—that Crown Princess is definitely not simple."

Hearing this assessment, Chu Wanqing paused, her gaze deepening: "How could you have such a perception of her?"

"Have you had contact with her?"

I guess so.

Li Chuqiu nodded and briefly recounted the events of that day when she sneaked into the Crown Princess's courtyard and made contact with her.

"That Crown Princess is no ordinary person. She is not alone; there is another person lurking in the shadows, whose motives are unclear—"

"I'm now at least 80% certain that the death of Prince Jing's heir is related to her!"

To this day, Li Chuqiu has still not found out the origin of the "fake princess consort" she first met that day.

There are currently no leads from the Tianxuan Division either.

Chu Wanqing stared into Li Chuqiu's eyes and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that he did not seem to have seen through her identity.

She had already heard about what happened that day from Song Zhiwei.

"In that case, it's understandable that you suspect she has a problem."

Chu Wanqing remained calm: "You said the Crown Princess plotted against you, so what are your plans next? To take revenge on her?"

"Retribution is inevitable"

Li Chuqiu remained expressionless.

Chu Wanqing's gaze was deep: "Then, how do you plan to take revenge on her?"

"An eye for an eye!"

"Oh? How do you mean an eye for an eye?"

Chu Wanqing's lips curled up slightly: "By the way, I heard you say earlier that you and the Crown Princess were alone in a room. I suppose something happened between you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You said you kidnapped her, how exactly did you kidnap her?"

Li Chuqiu asked, bewildered, "How else could you take someone hostage?"

"Holding hostages naturally come in many types—such as hostage-taking with bare hands, hostage-taking with weapons, or hostage-taking by brutal force—"

Which category do you belong to?

Li Chuqiu: "?"

Does this have anything to do with the topic of discussion?

Seeing that Li Chuqiu did not speak, Chu Wanqing's smile widened: So, you took her hostage with your bare hands?

I guess so.

Li Chuqiu nodded.

"So, you mean you touched the Crown Princess's waist? And you even touched her lips?"

For some reason, Li Chuqiu felt that the demoness's tone was a little off.

Her face was beaming with smiles, but for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of cold, sharp light beneath the smile in her alluring eyes.

She suddenly leaned close to Li Chuqiu's ear and whispered, "Is that Crown Princess's waist—soft or not?"

"Isn't her little mouth soft?"
