Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Haha... Needless to say, it must be the prince. The prince is the most powerful."

Chu Xi chuckled inwardly, it turned out that men's desire to win knows no bounds. Even though he complained, he was still trying to please.

"Really?"

When Yan Jingshuo heard Chu Xi say this, he felt happier and his whole face became radiant.

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?" Chu Xi nodded seriously, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"Did you send Yi Yue Liu Yun to supervise Prince Jing?"

Yan Jingshuo gently stroked Chu Xi's soft hair and asked her in a gentle voice.

"Well, at this stage, there are still too few trustworthy people in the court. We must speed up the development of our own power."

When Chu Xi thought about what happened in the court, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"We have to do this slowly. More haste, less speed."

"I know"

"Then has he already given you the list of officials who have been in and out of the palace these days?"

"I gave it to you. I never thought that it would involve so many court officials."

"Prince Jing's prestige in the court over the past few decades is not to be underestimated. In a few decades, even a block of ice would have been melted by her."

Yan Jingshuo has not been idle recently. He has found out the background information of all officials in the entire dynasty. In fact, half of the officials in the dynasty have completely surrendered to Prince Jing, and even the generals with military power are loyal to her minions.

Even if she really wanted to rebel now, the chances of her success were very high, but she couldn't let go of her face. She cared about her reputation and wanted the throne at the same time.

From the fact that she poisoned Chu Xi, it can be seen that Prince Jing still wants his own sister to personally give up the throne to her.

"That's really a bit difficult to deal with. She is also colluding with the Palace Master of Yanyue Palace. I'm afraid that the two of them will join forces..."

"Xi'er, how do you know they are colluding?"

There was a flash of surprise in Yan Jingshuo's eyes. He had not seen anyone from Yanyue Palace in these few days of observation. How did his Xier know about it?

"The poison she gave me was made by the Palace Master of Yanyue Palace. If it weren't for someone she knew, the Palace Master of Yanyue Palace would not easily give away such a precious poison."

Chu Xi still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now. If it weren’t for the Fire Cloud Bracelet, she would really be dead.

It's just that after so long, doesn't Prince Jing know that she has the Fire Cloud Bracelet? This poison has no effect on Chu Xi at all.

She was still secretly recruiting talents and planning a rebellion. I guess there was not that much trust between them. It should be said that both of them were on guard against each other.

This is not surprising. Prince Jing is suspicious by nature. To put it bluntly, she doesn't trust anyone except herself.

"Did you take the poison?" Yan Jingshuo frowned and looked at her.

"I ate it. I ate two pieces." Chu Xi nodded without hesitation.

"Xi'er, do you want to piss me off to death? You ate it even though you knew it was poisonous..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine as long as I have the Fire Cloud Bracelet."

Seeing that Yan Jingshuo was about to get angry, Chu Xi stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck, then quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"You can't be so risky. This is not a joke."

Yan Jingshuo still feels frightened now, because he knows how powerful Sikong Shu's poison is. Before he met Chu Xi, he lived under the terrifying shadow of this poison, without any hope of survival. The pain tortured him all the time. God knows that at that time, he often collapsed and wanted to end his life with a sword.

In that state, he felt as if the whole sky was always raining black rain, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, with no sense of hope for light at all.

"Okay, I won't do that next time. I'd rather feed it to the dog than eat it."

Realizing that Yan Jingshuo was angry, Chu Xi responded obediently, not daring to refute a word.

"Don't take such a risk again next time..." Yan Jingshuo said one more sentence still worriedly.

"Okay, I won't."

Seeing Chu Xi so docile and obedient, Yan Jingshuo's anger instantly disappeared by more than half, but his mouth pressed against Chu Xi's lips in a punishing manner.

Yan Jingshuo did not let Chu Xi go the entire night, torturing her until she fell asleep. Only then did he reluctantly dress her and carry her back to the bedroom.

Chu Xi slept until noon. When he woke up, Yan Jingshuo was gone. He touched the slightly cold bed beside him and guessed that he must have left early.

If it weren't for the aches all over her body, Chu Xi would have thought he had never appeared. She threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but found her legs were trembling and she couldn't walk at all. She was so angry that her face instantly turned red.

"This bastard looks like a handsome guy, but I didn't expect him to be such a beast after taking off his clothes."

Chu Xi held his aching waist with one hand and leaned on the bed with the other, and called out to Shaoyao outside.

Shaoyao walked in immediately, and helped Chu Xi to sit down at the table.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"Okay, what time is it now?"

"It's already noon."

"Ah, time flies by so fast. It's really nice not to have to go to court."

Chu Xi picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea. He poured it into his mouth in a heroic gulp and sighed comfortably.

"Miss, it is the young master of Prince Jing's Mansion, Huang Xiaoya, who wants to see you..."

Shaoyao stood respectfully aside. In private, she always called Chu Xi "Miss", which was also Chu Xi's request. She would only call Chu Xi "Your Highness" when there were many people around.

"Oh...she's waiting outside?"

Chu Xi was quite surprised. Was he worried about the poison he had poisoned and wanted to test the truth?

As expected of Prince Jing, he is very cautious in his actions.

"Yes, I have been waiting for an hour."

"Then why don't you tell her that I'm not feeling well and can't see visitors."

"I told you that you just took the medicine and felt dizzy and fell asleep again."

Chu Xi nodded in agreement. Shaoyao’s reason was good.

"So she won't leave, either?"

"She refused. She said she was the young lady's aunt and she was extremely anxious because the young lady was ill. She had to see the young lady. I had no choice but to let her wait outside..."

Peony said helplessly.

"Okay, I understand. You can bring her in later..."

"But Miss, are you afraid of being exposed?" Shaoyao looked at Chu Xi with some worry.

"Tsk... Shaoyao, you are such a bad-mouthed person, you really don't trust your young lady?"

Chu Xi sighed speechlessly when he heard Shaoyao's words.

"No, my lady. I am just afraid that she might be suspicious."

"Don't worry, your lady has a clever plan."

Chu Xi took out a pill from his sleeve and showed it to Shaoyao. He smiled and continued, "This is your young lady's new invention. After taking it, your whole body will become soft, your pulse will be disordered, and your body will be extremely weak. I don't think she can see it even if she has a keen eye..."

"Wow, you are amazing, miss."

Shaoyao's eyes instantly became starry and she admired Chu Xi so much.

"That's right. OK, go and ask her to come in."
