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

Tao Yao persuaded herself and patiently ate a few more bites. She was about to get up to find Lu Che, but was then grabbed by Chu Huanjun and asked to continue eating.

Chu Huanjun didn't let her go until she really couldn't eat anymore and her stomach was as big as a ball.

"Okay, now that we're full, it's time to get down to business. Xiaotao, come with me to a place."

Chu Huanjun took out a clean, fragrant, and soft handkerchief and handed it to Tao Yao to wipe her mouth. However, Tao Yao was in no mood to take it. She just said, "I'm not going with you. I want to go find Lu Che."

"Yeah." Chu Huanjun nodded, "I understand. But you still have to come with me."

Tao Yao was about to refuse, but Chu Huanjun grabbed her into his arms and carried her on his shoulders like a sack.

Chu Huanjun hadn't gotten up this early in ages. Last night, he'd been so preoccupied that he couldn't sleep well, so he was still a bit grumpy. He raised his hand and slapped Tao Yao's restless, wiggling buttocks, saying unpleasantly, "It seems I've been too polite to you in the past. You've forgotten I'm still a prince, and you should at least be obedient to me."

Chu Huanjun carried Tao Yao out the door. Song Zhishou had already prepared a carriage at the door. Tao Yao tilted her head to examine the carriage. The horse tied to the front was the same one they had robbed from Zuo Qiu yesterday.

Tao Yao said, "You really make the best use of everything."

Chu Huanjun said nothing, but his expression became noticeably more impressive. Song Zhishou, a few steps ahead of them, opened the carriage door curtain to let them in, while he remained outside, riding his horse.

As soon as they entered the carriage, Chu Huanjun immediately let go of Tao Yao, letting her struggle and roll to the ground. The moment her butt hit the ground, Tao Yao thought she was going to fall flat on her back, but she felt something soft underneath. She then realized that this carriage was different from ordinary carriages. The entire carriage was covered with a soft silk couch. Apart from the couch, there were no seats or small tables. It was truly just a "big bed".

Tao Yao's heart moved and she quickly turned around. At this time, Chu Huanjun had already taken off his crane feather cloak and was about to move closer to her with his knees bent.

Tao Yao subconsciously dodged backwards, like a lamb in a tiger's mouth, her eyes wide open in alarm, and she said, "Your carriage is really uniquely built. There's nothing inside but a bed."

Chu Huanjun didn't deny anything. He rolled over to the center of the couch, not shying away from Tao Yao, who was curled up beside him. He lazily stretched out on the couch in a "spread" position and yawned contentedly. "I haven't been sleeping well these days, so the carriage is arranged like this so I can catch up on my sleep."

Tao Yao frowned: "So you plan to use this carriage for yourself... You are quite comfortable with it, but have you ever thought about where others will sit if you bring them along?"

After that, Chu Huanjun slowly raised half of his arm, propped up his head and looked at her steadily, with an expression of "You're right, but I won't do that" on his face. He said lightly: "Oh, I've thought about it. If I bring an outsider, wouldn't it be better if he sleeps with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Yao felt her ankle, which was curled up under her thigh, suddenly warm up. It was actually held in Chu Huanjun's palm.

His eyes were wandering, his gaze glued to her face with lingering affection. Suddenly, he exerted force with his hands, pulled Tao Yao's legs and feet, and brought her into his arms.

In an instant, Tao Yao felt a world of turmoil. Wisps of soft black hair slid before her eyes, and the familiar fragrance of pinewood washed over her again. Chu Huanjun's hair was very long, covering her eyes and completely obscuring her vision. She could only vaguely make out a small incense burner hanging from the roof of the carriage.

It was obvious that the incense burner had just been lit, and it was emitting wisps of silvery-white smoke that lingered in the small space of the carriage.

Tao Yao then realized that the unfamiliar clove scent on Chu Huanjun came from the incense burner.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Chu Huanjun didn't want to tease her anymore, so he quickly loosened his arms, rolled up with the quilt, and rolled to the other corner consciously, closing his eyes to rest.

"I got up too early today, so I need to catch up on some sleep. You should get some sleep too."

Chu Huanjun is an emotionally stable adult, so he is used to finding a way out for himself.

Just at this moment, Tao Yao asked again, "I don't think I've ever seen you use this clove-scented incense before... Was it a gift from someone else?"

Chu Huanjun turned over, blinked at Tao Yao, and nodded: "Yeah. Someone gave it to me. Does it smell good?"

Tao Yao said, "It's just average. It's far inferior to the pine-flavored scent from before."

Chu Huanjun suddenly wanted to annoy her, so he said deliberately, "I think this clove scent is pretty good. I've been using the previous incense for too long and I'm tired of it. Trying something new is quite refreshing."

Given Chu Huanjun's penchant for lying, Tao Yao wasn't surprised he'd say that. But she also understood that he was a master at saying one thing and thinking another. He said he wanted something new, but wasn't the clothes he wore today still scented with pine?

Tao Yao climbed up from the couch, sat by the window to watch the scenery passing by, and asked, "You haven't told me yet, where are you taking me?"

Chu Huanjun cursed her in a low voice, "How unromantic!" He then turned his back to her and said in a muffled voice, "I'll take you to find Lu Che."

Hearing the word "Lu Che", Tao Yao perked up immediately and quickly crawled over to poke Chu Huanjun on the back: "You're taking me to find Lu Che, are you serious? Do you know where Lu Che is?"

Chu Huanjun's head was about to explode from her noise. He couldn't help but pull the quilt up to cover his entire head and face, isolating himself from the outside world and refusing to communicate with Tao Yao anymore.

In this way, Tao Yao watched the changing scenery outside the window with a nervous mood. He walked through the streets of Qingshui Town, passed through a bamboo forest on the outskirts of the town, walked onto a stone bridge across the Chishui River, and arrived at another town.

Tao Yao stuck her head out of the car window. The town in front of her was even bigger than Qingshui Town. At the entrance of the town stood a large stone archway with three large characters carved on it in gold powder and red ink: Hukou Town.

At this time, Song Zhishou lifted the door curtain and poked half of his head in, calling Chu Huanjun to get up: "Your Highness, we have arrived."

Chu Huanjun had just slowly woken up from his dream, yawned lazily a few times, and then slowly went to find his crane feather cloak and put it on, then moved closer to Tao Yao to look at the scenery outside the window.
