When He Jue regained consciousness, it was already late at night.

What caught He Jue's eyes was a beautiful and familiar face.

He was in a clean and tidy room, with a dozen masked men in black standing around him.

And a beautiful woman was lazily leaning on the beauty couch opposite.

"Your Highness... Your Highness?"

He Jue looked at the pretty face, frowned in confusion and spoke.

When he tried to get up, he found that he was tied to a chair and couldn't move.

"Your Highness! Why did you tie me up?" He Jue immediately asked with a look of horror.

Xiaoyu just smiled nonchalantly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Of course, I would like to invite Mr. He to visit my house." She said slowly.

"Is this how Your Highness entertains guests?" He Jue was puzzled and asked helplessly with a frown.

He knew that His Highness would not kill him, so he looked very relaxed, without any sense of urgency about being kidnapped.

"Oh~ that's wrong."

"You were the one who put a knife to my neck and said you wanted to come to my house and have a seat."

"I am just giving him a taste of his own medicine."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he began to laugh leisurely.

"Ah? Your Highness, when have I ever kidnapped you? Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do that."

After hearing this, He Jue couldn't help feeling a little panicked, wondering if His Highness really knew about it?

But he still pretended to be confused, thinking that as long as he refused to admit it, what could His Highness do to him?

"Alas, men are such fickle creatures."

"A few days ago, he hugged me and praised me for my beauty. He even threatened me with a knife to come with me."

"Now, you turn around and deny it."

"What a fickle Mr. He."

"Oh no, a fickle river."

Xiaoyu said with a smile, holding his cheek lazily and playfully, his eyes seemed to be staring at his prey.

This playful look did not make He Jue feel uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, what river?"

He Jue reacted immediately and asked in confusion, looking puzzled.

"I met His Highness only because I was drunk on the day of the autumn hunt."

"If I was drunk that day and offended Your Highness, I am really sorry. But I really don't know everything Your Highness said!"

"How dare I disrespect His Highness? How dare I hold His Highness hostage with a knife? I am so terrified!"

He Jue said hurriedly, determined not to admit it.

Xiaoyu just raised her eyes and gave Chunke a look, and then Chunke took all the secret guards away.

They were the only two people left in the room.

"Okay, stop pretending." Xiaoyu's expression changed, he became much more serious, and said lightly.

She stood up and walked to He Jue, her jade hand gently stroked his cheek.

She was not interested in playing with He Jue at the moment and just wanted to get down to business quickly.

He Jue knew what was going on, but he continued:

"Your Highness, what have I done wrong? Why am I pretending?"

He just still looked confused.

"Don't pretend, I have something important to talk to you about. I'm only giving you one last chance, if you miss this chance you'll have to hide your talent for the rest of your life."

"Do you want to play with me?"

Xiaoyu spoke lightly with a bewitching tone, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

He Jue was stunned for a moment and then fell silent for a short time.

"I am happy to play anything with you, Your Highness, but Your Highness, I am really not a river."

"Did you admit the wrong person?"

He Jue said innocently, grinning at Xiaoyu, revealing his innocent little fangs.

"Oh, what a pity! Since you are not a river, I can only let you go~"

"It seems that we can only find someone else to deal with He Chen."

Xiaoyu pretended to say this with regret, shook her head and was about to leave.

When He Jue heard this, he hurriedly called Xiaoyu. If he wasn't tied up at the moment, he would have been able to fly directly.

"Your Highness! What did you say?"

"Don't go, Your Highness. I am a river. I am!"

"Don't go, Your Highness! Su-I am just a river!"

When He Jue saw Xiaoyu walk out directly, he hurriedly moved his chair and jumped to catch up, which was quite funny.

He took just two steps forward and stumbled, falling down along with the chair.

He Jue, carrying a chair on his back, looks like a turtle wearing a shell.

Xiaoyu then turned around and laughed, and quickly asked Chunke to take people to help Hejue up, and then he personally untied Hejue.

"Mr. He, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be fine if you just admitted it earlier?"

Xiaoyu teased, with a smile in his eyes.

He Jue pouted, moving his wrists which were bound and red, and muttered, "Your Highness didn't tell me earlier."

"If you had told me earlier that you were dealing with my brother, I would have kowtowed to you right there and then."

Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile again after hearing this, thinking what a good boy.

"Oh, you're just trying to play a joke on our young marquis," she said slowly.

When He Jue heard the prince actually call him young marquis, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately widened his eyes in fear.

"Your Highness, this is not allowed."

"Just call me that in private, but don't call me that outside."

He looked terrified, and then said with a look of disappointment, "Everyone knows that my brother is the young marquis of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion."

"He should be afraid if you call me like that."

"Call me He Er."

After hearing this, Xiaoyu just laughed twice, then patted Hejue's shoulder with a firm look in his eyes.

"Then do you want this title to belong to you one day?"

"Do you want people to think of you, He Jue, instead of him, He Chen, when they mention the young marquis of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion?"

"It is not a wise move to hide for so many years because you are afraid of being targeted."

"If you want something, you have to fight for it like a man, grab it, and take it away."

"You don't have to be hypocritical with me. I just want to know if you are willing to cooperate with me."

"My goal is to bring down He Chen. I need you to find a way to bring him down secretly. You can mobilize all my people during this period."

"Bring him down and show me your strength. Consider this as your token of loyalty. When he falls, we will be allies."

"When that time comes, you will be my ally, and you will receive the protection and help of my forces."

"This is a sure-win business. You can defeat He Chen and gain my power at the same time."

"What do you think, young lord?"

"I hope that one day, this will be a name that belongs only to you."

He Jue stood there in silence. He just looked at the prince in front of him with a frown.

He understood that His Highness had connections and influence throughout the Imperial City.

And my brother, with the support of the Hai family, the power of the Prime Minister is equally unfathomable.

He understood that as long as he agreed, he would be taking sides.

In this game of thrones, once you choose a side, there is no turning back, and success or failure depends on this choice.

He is not a fool. This is a rare opportunity and nothing can be better than this.

Not only can he eliminate the threat of his brother, but he can also gain the protection, appreciation and help of His Highness.

But at the same time, once He Jue agreed, he had already stood on the side, and he could not regret it no matter what happened in the future.

But who will be the final winner in this game of thrones?

He Jue didn’t know.

He only knew that if he made a mistake in this game, he would shed blood.

You might even lose your life.
