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

"It's worth it. It's worth it if you like it."

Chu Huanjun repeated this sentence again.

Even people who are good at speaking and arguing sometimes have times when they are at a loss for words.

Tao Yao tilted her head and smiled, then jokingly said, "What irrelevant things... Oh, right, aren't you bringing me to find Lu Che? Is Lu Che really in Hukou Town?"

Chu Huanjun replied confidently, "My intelligence has always been accurate. Don't you believe me?"

Tao Yao smiled: "I believe it. Xiao Chu's information is very accurate, otherwise he wouldn't have found me again and again."

Chu Huanjun was a little surprised. He looked at Tao Yao with admiration and said calmly, "Well, it turns out you're not stupid. It's good that you understand it in your heart."

Tao Yao smiled and made a face at Chu Huanjun. She liked the way they were getting along now. There were no constraints, no vows, just laughter and playfulness together, no thoughts about the future, no dwelling on the past, only the joy of enjoying the present moment together.

If only it could always be like this… Tao Yao couldn’t help but think that she could always do whatever she wanted, relying on Chu Huanjun’s love for her. Being loved seemed to have a backer, and Chu Huanjun was her backer.

However, this mountain was too big, too high, and too steep. Tao Yao had never seen the entire mountain. He only stood at the foot of the mountain, took a quick glimpse, and then greedily wanted to stay in this resting place at the foot of the mountain longer and longer.

But even if you stay here for too long, you still have to leave eventually.

"By the way, where's Mr. Song? Why did he just leave without saying anything?" Tao Yao asked again, "I thought he was going with us."

Chu Huanjun whipped his whip, quickened his horse's pace, and said, "He's already arrived before us."

"What?" Tao Yao was a little confused. "We're all going the same way, so why doesn't he go with us? It would save him the trouble of running around."

Chu Huanjun discovered that Tao Yao was a real talker, sometimes so talkative that he almost wanted to cover his ears. However, he just liked her personality. She was boisterous and made people feel lively and cheerful wherever she went. When she was noisy, he had to be busy answering her questions, leaving no time to think about those troubles.

This is what it means to like someone: even flaws can be seen as pleasing to him. As long as he thinks she is good, then everything about her is good.

As they quarreled, the carriage gradually drove into a peach blossom forest. Seeing the peach blossom forest, Tao Yao reflexively remembered the incident that happened a few days ago. Suddenly, she felt creepy and couldn't help but lean against Chu Huanjun.

Chu Huanjun knew what she was afraid of, so he took off his crane feather cloak and put it on her, saying softly, "Feeling cold?"

Tao Yao shook her head and obediently tightened the cloak he had draped over her, hiding her body under the large crane feather cloak, leaving only her furry head exposed, looking like a little rabbit.

Her eyes were still filled with unconcealable fear, but she had a smile on her face to reassure Chu Huanjun - Tao Yao was a typical people-pleasing person.

To preserve her little dignity, Chu Huanjun smiled and turned his head to look at the road, not looking at her anymore. He said slowly, word by word, "When I'm by your side, you don't have to force yourself."

Tao Yao looked at the beautiful curve of Chu Huanjun's profile. The white mist he exhaled when he spoke dissipated in the wind, and seemed like soft white clouds, slowly floating down in her heart.

In fact, there had been many moments when Tao Yao couldn't help but doubt the truth of that prophecy about the future. Were the cold-blooded emperor and the horrific massacres really true? If so, how could Chu Huanjun, who was so kind now, become like that? If not, then what about the catastrophe that Lu Che had said the Moon Worshipers had experienced?

Ever since she met Chu Huanjun, until today, he still seemed like a very good person. Although, she could also see that he had ambitions, and these ambitions were not small.

But at least until now, she has not seen Chu Huanjun hurt any innocent person.

What is the truth? If she wants to avoid the tragedy in the future, should she touch the traces of these truths?

Should she get closer to Chu Huanjun, try to understand him, and try to walk a path with him?

Along the way, Tao Yao thought about a lot of things and didn't notice when the carriage stopped.

Chu Huanjun yawned, leaned against the carriage door and dozed off, as if waiting for Tao Yao to come back to her senses, and he had been waiting for a long time.

Tao Yao gently poked his arm and whispered, "Are we there yet?"

Chu Huanjun squinted his eyes and looked at her. He raised his hand to tidy her hair, and his fingers shuttled through her black hair. His warm fingertips slowly rubbed Tao Yao's scalp, making her feel itchy and she couldn't help but shiver.

Finally, Chu Huanjun's fingers fell on the golden hairpin that he had pinned on her bun before. Tao Yao was still looking at him in a daze, not knowing what he was going to do - the next moment, he took advantage of Tao Yao's inattention and came close to her, his cold and soft lips pressed against her ear bone, and his fragrant breath filled the air everywhere.

"This hairpin is not an ordinary hairpin. It contains a hidden weapon and can be used as a dagger. It is made into a hairpin to avoid suspicion and to make it convenient for you to carry. If you encounter danger, remember to use it..."

Chu Huanjun paused for a moment, remaining silent for a long moment. Finally, he uttered a few words: "Please don't die when I'm not by your side. I'll be very sad."

After a while, Chu Huanjun didn't cling to her for too long as usual and quickly left. Tao Yao was a little slow to react. After a moment, she raised her hand and touched the golden hairpin in her hair, feeling a little flattered. The intricate carvings and the smooth texture of jade made it feel like jade. Apart from her and Chu Huanjun, no one else would be able to tell that this hairpin was actually a weapon.

She was very touched, but besides being touched, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, isn't it too extravagant and wasteful to use pure gold to make a hairpin that contains a hidden weapon?

However, just as this thought came to her mind, Tao Yao looked at the glittering lake blue robe on Chu Huanjun and felt that this was a perfectly normal thing for Chu Huanjun.

He likes to be so flashy and showy, so she should get used to his style sooner.
