Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chu Huanjun didn't like hearing Tao Yao say such self-deprecating words, so he interrupted, "You are an important person."

Just a few words, like an awkward confession.

Tao Yao's heart skipped a beat. She'd almost never heard Chu Huanjun speak so seriously. She didn't know why, but she felt awkward. With nowhere to hide, she could only laugh it off, "What's important or not? I wasn't well-received in the Shi Mansion before, and now that I'm out of the Shi Mansion, I'm even less important..."

Having said this, Tao Yao wanted to loosen her arms, but Chu Huanjun was unwilling to let her go and held her body tighter and tighter.

Chu Huanjun was angry - it was clearly her own initiative to come to him, and he opened his heart to her, so how could she run away?

No, I finally caught her again, I can't let her go easily this time no matter what - Chu Huanjun thought so.

"Don't hide from me."

Chu Huanjun's cold lips gently touched Tao Yao's earlobe, and he repeated the four words again in a commanding tone: "Don't hide from me."

Chu Huanjun was such an arrogant person, and even though he was still giving orders in a stern voice, even someone as slow-witted as Tao Yao could tell that it was a plea.

He bared his fangs and gently left a small tooth mark on the corner of her jaw - this was what he returned to her. That day in the dilapidated temple, she also left a tooth mark on his neck.

The sudden pain in her neck made Tao Yao scream in a strange tone. Her whole body was trembling, and she fell limply into Chu Huanjun's arms.

She had just been through the gates of hell and knew deeply the fear and loneliness of having no one in front of her and no one behind her, so even if Chu Huanjun was doing something bad to her now, as long as he gave her a hug, she was willing to let him do whatever he wanted.

But Chu Huanjun stopped there and didn't continue. Although he was a person with a strong desire for revenge, his revenge was also based on the target - the person he wanted to take revenge on had just woken up from a life-and-death situation, and he couldn't bear it.

Chu Huanjun removed his lips from Tao Yao's neck and gently exhaled a warm and fragrant breath into her ear: "Come with me, okay?"

Tao Yao could hear that Chu Huanjun's tone was not as firm and confident as before.

Facing Tao Yao, Chu Huanjun was really scared - he never did anything without certainty, but Tao Yao was a real and unpredictable person to him, but he still couldn't control himself and wanted to get closer to her again and again, hoping to control her.

Although he could probably figure it out, Tao Yao was not someone he could control.

But he still wanted to give it a try.

Tao Yao's answer didn't surprise Chu Huanjun too much. She shook her head and refused. But the next second, Tao Yao smiled and asked again, "Why do you have to let me go with you? Come with me, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Huanjun's heart, which was leaking all over, seemed to be hit by a huge stone, which just blocked the holes that were leaking the cold wind.

Chu Huanjun didn't quite understand what Tao Yao meant. He looked into her eyes and asked hesitantly, "What did you just say?"

Tao Yao touched the soft hair on Chu Huanjun's back, and reluctantly gathered the silky black hair in her palm.

If he was not Prince Yi, if they were just ordinary boys and girls, how wonderful it would be - she would definitely throw herself into his arms regardless of everything, like ordinary young men and women who are just beginning to fall in love, and promise him a promise that would last for three lifetimes and three worlds.

In fact, every time Chu Huanjun appeared at the moment when Tao Yao thought she was about to die and pulled her back from the gates of hell to the embrace filled with the fragrance of pine wood, Tao Yao had already put her heart in his hands.

But their reunions were always too short, and her mind always told her to leave him, the farther the better. That's why her heart was recovered countless times in each displacement.

Whenever Tao Yao wanted to tell him that she seemed to have fallen in love with him, she would immediately realize the terrifying prophecy between them.

He was the current Prince Yi and the future new emperor. She probably only fell in love with "Xiao Chu," the man who would sneak her out of the Shi Mansion to find food at Chunfeng Tower, who gave her peach blossom lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and who would rather jump into the Chishui River than force her to help him detoxify.

Instead of the ruthless emperor standing in a pool of blood with a cold face.

But Chu Huanjun didn't know this. He couldn't have known that Tao Yao's love would dissipate because of his ambition, or that he didn't even realize Tao Yao's love for him.

"Xiao Chu, you always ask me if I'm willing to go with you and return to the capital. I've answered you countless times that I don't want to."

Tao Yao was also reluctant to give up this warm embrace, so she buried her head deep in Chu Huanjun's shoulder again, breathing in the pleasant pine scent on his body.

"What if I were to ask you this question? Would you be willing to leave the capital, stop being the Prince Yi, give up all the honor and power, and wander with me to the ends of the earth?"

Tao Yao asked again.

Chu Huanjun's heart trembled. He had never thought that Tao Yao would ask him this.

He couldn't answer for a moment, so he had to ask her in a roundabout way: "If I agree to you, will you be with me, like me, love me, and be my husband and wife?"

Chu Huanjun was cunning, but Tao Yao wasn't slow either. Seeing him evasive, Tao Yao mimicked his tone and asked, "What if I promise to go back to the capital with you? You'll stay with me, love me, protect me, and swear never to hurt me. You'll promise to agree to anything I ask. Can you do that?"

As soon as Tao Yao finished speaking, Chu Huanjun chuckled and said, "You're quite good at bargaining."

Tao Yao replied, "It's the same with you. I learned it from you, too."

Chu Huanjun pondered for a while, then replied seriously, "If you promise to come back to Beijing with me, I will definitely do what you say."

Tao Yao lifted her face from Chu Huanjun's shoulder and looked at his expression carefully for a while. Seeing his expression, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.

Chu Huanjun's fiery gaze was like two scorching rays, hitting Tao Yao's face and making her feel uncomfortable. Tao Yao dodged her gaze elsewhere, finally finding a spot of embroidery on the bed curtains and staring at it, trying to ease her embarrassment.

She couldn't help but imagine the scene of wearing a red veil with Chu Huanjun, holding hands and chatting about family matters, and growing old together.

Those fantasies are incredibly beautiful.

But she still said, "You have so many tricks up your sleeve, how can I trust you?"
