In the room, Qin Qing was tied up like a dumpling.

She felt as if her heart was hanging on the edge of a knife and was extremely frightened.

As soon as the door opened, she opened her eyes wide, worried that her cousin was coming to take her life.

Seeing that it was Shen Xiyue, Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had an idea.

She looked at Shen Xiyue pitifully and cried, "Master Jun, you are a good person... My cousin favors you, can you let me go? I don't want to die... I'm not even sixteen years old..."

Shen Xiyue looked at her indifferently: "What are you doing in Hangzhou?"

"I don't know!" Qin Qing's tone became more pitiful: "Please, I will definitely repay you... You are my cousin's male lover, you must be very scared to be with someone like him? Do you like women? You haven't tasted the taste of women yet?"

Shen Xiyue's eyes widened instantly: "What do you mean?"

Qin Qing gritted her teeth and went all out. She floundered on the ground, posed in a posture that she thought was seductive, and raised her chest that was swollen and red from being tied by the hemp rope:

"Mr. Jun, you were so gentle to me this morning. If you are willing, I will be your woman!"

Shen Xiyue looked at her body, which was twisted like a dough twist but still extremely thin, and frowned in surprise: "... Four are not enough?"

"......" The expression on Qin Qing's face froze again.

That was no longer the anger after being humiliated, but the despair of being at one's wits' end.

Shen Xiyue looked at her and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "If you know any other girls who can serve others, like Miss Gu from Tianxiang Tower in the capital, I can help you ask His Highness for help."

"......I don't know any Miss Gu." Qin Qing's face suddenly changed. She bit her lip and denied it.

Shen Xiyue shrugged: "Forget it then."

Qin Qing said pitifully:

"Master Jun, I really don't know what you are talking about. If you don't like me... I will give you some silver, okay? I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I can give you as much silver as you want.

Don’t think that my cousin is cruel to me now, but as long as you protect me to the capital, my parents will not ignore me. If they ask, my cousin will let me go. I will definitely remember your kindness and repay you well. "

Seeing that Shen Xiyue didn't say anything, Qin Qing thought she had convinced her, so she took advantage of the situation and continued:

“My cousin is the crown prince. Even if he dotes on you, it’s just a novelty for now... You have to think about your future!

My cousin is already twenty-one this year. When he finishes this mission, it will be time for him to discuss marriage. The noble ladies of the capital are lining up to marry him, so you have no place to stay. You have to listen to my advice."

Shen Xiyue thought about it and asked seriously: "Have you ever thought about marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qin Qing was stunned, as if a little embarrassed: "I have thought about it... Unfortunately, I am not his biological child. Even if I want to marry my cousin, I am not worthy of him... Otherwise, I can tolerate you."

She thought that after talking to this point, the young master in front of her would agree to her proposal.

But Shen Xiyue just looked at her and smiled: "You are not worthy of your cousin, the crown prince, so what makes you worthy of King Yao who wants to seize the throne?"

Qin Qing: “…”

A trace of anger flashed across her face, and then she lowered her eyes and said, "I don't understand what you are saying..."

Shen Xiyue smiled and said, "Still pretending... Well, you may not know yet, but His Highness has already found out that the beauty trap was Gu's idea. He has ordered the entire Hangzhou to be sealed off, and she can't escape even if she has wings."

Qin Qing was stunned. How could...how could she know about this? !

Maybe she was too nervous, she subconsciously retorted at the end: "What, how could it be, Zhilan..."

She was halfway through her words when she realized she had said something wrong. She was extremely panicked. She had never expected that she would be tricked by this male favorite whom she was trying to persuade to rebel.

Shen Xiyue coaxed him gently, "Do you know that the river bank can't be repaired recently? It is said that the Dragon King of the Sea is furious and needs a living sacrifice... If you don't want to die like this, just tell me. If you tell me, I will go and beg His Highness to spare your life."

Qin Qing completely collapsed: "She only said she was in a brothel..."

......

After Shen Xiyue got the words out of Qin Qing, she felt that she couldn't wait any longer.

She is going to Hangzhou.

But the Suzhou River embankment has not been repaired yet, and Murong Xuan cannot leave here. She knows that he will definitely not let her act alone, but she has made up her mind!

Shen Xiyue thought about it and decided to please him first before putting forward her own ideas.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Murong Xuan came back.

After spending nearly half a month together, he discovered that although Tan Yichun was a bit straightforward, after serving as an official for decades, what was even more rare was that he still retained the passion and courage to serve the country and the people, and did everything himself.

Murong Xuan lacks useful people in the court, and someone like Tan Yichun, who is passionate and capable, can be used by him.

Pinching his brows, he returned to the main room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a large brocade box on the table. His brows relaxed a little, and he raised his hand to open the brocade box.

There are many small sachets inside, and the aroma of medicine is overwhelming.

Murong Xuan: "......"

Shen Xiyue jumped out from behind the screen and hugged him from behind:

"Your Highness, I asked Shuangye to buy the sachet, and the prescription was given by Doctor Mu, but I picked the herbs especially for you. These are for preventing the plague!"

Murong Xuan was amused by her honesty and turned around to hug her: "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Xiyue's flawless face flushed slightly, her red lips were moist, and she admitted, "Yes, Your Highness has to carry it with him every day."

Murong Xuan smiled and said, "I like it very much."

Seeing that he was happy, Shen Xiyue immediately said, "Then Your Highness, can you promise me one thing?"

Murong Xuan: "You say."

Shen Xiyue then told him that she was going to Hangzhou.

After saying that, he was worried that Murong Xuan would not agree, so he quickly added: "I'll take Shuang Ye with me, nothing will happen."

Murong Xuan held her in his arms and sat down on the bed. Shen Xiyue leaned in his arms. The two were very close to each other, and she could even hear Murong Xuan's strong heartbeat.

"You really want to go?"

"Yeah." Shen Xiyue nodded.

Murong Xuan said: "Okay."

Shen Xiyue was a little bit unbelievable: "Your Highness, you agreed?"

Murong Xuan chuckled, his voice hoarse: "You are the Princess of Huayang. I have never wanted to keep you by my side and let you be a spineless dodder. Go if you want to do something."
