, noticing that Qiān Tíng Xuān wasn't around. Then, with a serious expression, he asked, "Junior sister, have you really thought this through about marrying the King" "I..." Xiāo Yǔ Gē was momentarily...Qian Tingxuan, upon hearing this, didn't seem too surprised: "It seems that the Crown Prince and the young prince have made quite a bit of progress. They know how to frame someone." His tone changed abruptly: "Pass down the order, within three days, capture at least two cities in Chiyan. If he refuses to surrender, then keep fighting until he does." Who gave him the guts to even propose marriage!

"Yes!"

“Furthermore, send a message to Mistress He right away, telling her to move all of her assets within three days. Red Plum Mountain Villa cannot be stayed any longer!” Although he had given Ye Wuhuan an order and removed Qin Hanzheng from Qian Siyin's hand, it was impossible to guarantee that Qin Hanzheng hadn’t revealed everything to Qian Siyin. With the emperor brother's methods, he would definitely rather kill by mistake than leave a hidden danger. If Red Plum Mountain Villa were exposed once, not only would Empress Sister be guilty of treason, but the secrets of Thunder Pavilion would also likely come to light.

"Yes!"

"Besides, things have been rather hectic these days. This King cannot stay by the Crown Princess's side at all times. I shall dispatch two more guards to protect her. If anything happens, there is no need to report it; simply come see this King directly!" She had barely survived her journey, and although he knew she was capable of protecting herself, he couldn't risk it or gamble with her safety.

"Yes! This humble one will arrange it immediately!"

When Qian Sichen left Ruyi Pavilion, he walked towards Wangyue Pavilion with a heavy heart. He had finally mustered the courage to go to Ruyi Pavilion to find Ge'er, but when he got there, he learned that she hadn't gone back last night at all.

She didn't even go back to Ruyifang at night. Was she staying at the little imperial uncle's place What was going on between her and the little imperial uncle Just thinking about it made his heart ache.

When he walked to the Moon Viewing Pavilion, he saw a familiar figure sitting inside. His heart leaped with joy: "Gē'er!" He hadn't expected to meet her here.

After he walked over, he realized that Xiao Yuge was actually asleep there. He didn't dare to wake her up, so he just gently squatted in front of her. This was the first time in such a long time that he had seen her this close. She was so obedient, quiet, and innocent while she slept, not at all like the prickly and vicious person she was when she saw him, wanting to stab him full of holes.

At this moment, she was as quiet as a child. Her skin was delicate and clean like fresh snow. Her eyebrows were delicately drawn, and her long, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly with each of her light breaths. Her small, straight nose was charming without any embellishment. Her lips, lightly parted, were a vibrant red—how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world She inspired no evil thoughts, as if any such thought would be sacrilege against her.

Looking at her sleeping peacefully, like the most beautiful flower blooming quietly, countless thoughts drifted back to all the beautiful memories, and in an instant, I felt that the whole world was so wonderful.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. He was the prince, the future emperor, yet here he was kneeling before her, guarding her like the most precious little princess in his life. He deeply regretted his past mistakes and found joy in being able to protect her like this.

Did you dream of anything Her brow was slightly furrowed, she certainly didn't want to see him when she woke up. He didn't want to ruin this peaceful beauty, this beautiful her could only belong to him alone.

Thinking about this, he reached out and pressed her sleep point, then picked her up and quickly left the place.

The dark guards hiding in the shadows also looked at each other, unsure whether to step forward and stop it. The lord had said to protect the young mistress well, but he had also said that unless absolutely necessary, they could not touch the prince.

"Lao San, you go back and report to the King first. We'll follow up." The leader made a quick decision. For this kind of situation, it was best to consult with the King first. All they needed to do was ensure the safety of the Princess.

"Yes!"

When Xiao Yuge woke up, several hours had already passed. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qian Si Chen, and she was so startled that any sleepiness flew out of her window.

"You...you... you, how are you here" No, she wasn't at the Moon Viewing Pavilion, was she Where even is this place

“This is my Prince’s Residence, of course I'm here.” Qian Si Chen looked at her with eyes full of gentle smiles.

"Are you insane Why did you drag me here for no reason" Xiao Yuge threw the covers off and pushed him away, then walked towards the courtyard.

But the moment she stepped into the courtyard, someone blocked her way.

She turned back with a displeased expression, looking at Qian Sichen: “Qian Sichen, do you dare to confine me” This dead scumbag was looking for abuse, wasn't he With just a few lackeys, he wanted to imprison her. What a delusional idea.

"My dearest, I would never imprison you. I only wish for you to stay here for a few days." He believed that feelings could be nurtured. From the moment he carried her back from the Moon Pavilion, his heart had been filled with an overwhelming desire to possess her. A beauty such as hers could belong only to him!

"I have a place to live! Why do I have to stay here" Xiao Yu Ge stomped her feet, pointing at the person guarding the entrance, "Get them out of here! I want to leave! I need to get out of here!"

“Ge’er, don’t leave, please don’t leave me, okay” Qian Sicheng suddenly stepped forward and hugged her: “I know, I was an asshole before. I mistook fish eyes for pearls. If you are angry, I will accept any punishment, just don’t leave me!”

"Let me go!" Xiao Yu Ge struggled, trying to push him away. "Qian Si Chen, I've made it very clear to you, I don't like you. Please just let me go."

"No! I won't let go! Never!" Qian Si Chen tightened his embrace, this time, he said nothing would make him let go.

Xiao Yuge clenched his fists, fighting the urge to punch Qian Si Chen to the ground. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the rage that threatened to consume him. “Qian Sicheng, please let go of me first. We can talk about this calmly, sit down and sort things out.”

"Then promise me you won't leave."

"Alright, I agree. I won't leave for now." First, I need to calm him down and get things done. Otherwise, if I anger him, he'll go crazy and all my efforts will be in vain. After all, men desire what they can't have the most.

"Good." Qian Sichu heard her agree to stay, naturally overjoyed. He immediately loosened his grip on her, but that paw still held onto her hand. For a moment, Xiao Yuge felt the urge to chop off his paw, but thinking of her purpose for coming here, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

As it turns out, this was all deliberate. She had planned it all. When she returned to Ruyifang from the Prince's Mansion, she happened to see Qian Si Chen coming out of Ruyifang. Just as she was thinking about how to get closer to him, she saw him walking towards Ba Yue Ting. So, she carefully set everything up.

Even when Qian Si dusted her acupoints, she was awake. Let alone her current martial arts skills surpassing his, she was also wearing the Golden Silkworm Armor. With his acupressure technique, he couldn't subdue her at all. He was just worried about how to get into the Prince's Mansion, so he went with the flow., but he's still a prince. Marrying him means becoming a Princess Consort.""Well, who would have thought I'd have an aunt by marriage who's the current esteemed imperial concubine""But I heard that t...
