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

"Hateful." The woman punched Chu Huanjun on the chest with a soft fist, and then her whole body softened and she fell on Chu Huanjun's chest, rubbing her head against Chu Huanjun's chin like a kitten.

"Your Highness, I know why you came to this countryside..."

The woman smiled cunningly, raised her hand and pulled out a jade hairpin on her head. Her carefully combed hair fell down as the hairpin was pulled out, covering her naked back.

Like a fox, she cunningly clung to Chu Huanjun's body, slowly wrapping her arms around his shoulders, trying to tear off his clothes.

"Whatever you can give me, I will give you something of equal value."

She rubbed her face against his affectionately, like an innocent little animal, trying to please him in the simplest way possible.

Tao Yao, secretly observing all this from a distance, couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although Chu Huanjun could be quite romantic and dissolute at times, in this situation, he clearly didn't like the woman's frivolous behavior. Under normal circumstances, he would have driven her away with force long ago, so why was he so patient and hesitant?

At that time, Tao Yao saw Lu Che also concentrating on peeking at the situation in the cabin, so she quietly got behind him without anyone noticing and pinched his back lightly.

"Hey, Lu Che, does it look good? Look at you, you don't even blink."

Tao Yao pinched her throat and spoke in a whisper, but that didn't stop Lu Che from hearing the teasing tone in her words.

Lu Che glanced at her without saying anything, but two blushes honestly appeared on his face.

"Gone. There are only these two people here, not the thief in black."

Tao Yao turned around and was about to leave when Lu Che held her back. He gave her a look: Wait, observe for a while.

Tao Yao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Those two people were flirting in bed, it was like they were in love. What was there to see?

At that moment, a scream was suddenly heard from the cabin. Tao Yao immediately stuck half of his eyes out to look into the room, only to see that the woman had fallen to the ground at some point.

Chu Huanjun pulled a quilt from the couch and threw it on the woman, covering her body tightly.

"Chu Huanjun! How could it be!... There's clearly something in my wine..." The woman looked up at Chu Huanjun in disbelief, a look of horror on her face.

Chu Huanjun slowly sat up from the couch, pulled off a piece of gauze used to tie the bed curtain, and tied his messy hair behind his head as a headband.

He moved to the edge of the bed, straightened his clothes that had been messed up by the woman, and then sat up straight and stretched out one leg. He lifted the woman's chin and looked her up and down with a frivolous look. He said, "Zhining, you look so worthless."

Zhining?! Why is it her?

Tao Yao's mind immediately flashed back to the events of Qinglongwu. That day, it was Zhining who kidnapped her, and it was Lu Che who struck a deal with Zhining, allowing her to take advantage of the situation and escape from the capital.

Now it seems that this Zhining actually knows Chu Huanjun?

Zhining retorted unconvincedly, "Your Highness, I was raised as a prostitute in Chunfeng Tower. Later, I lurked beside Zhou Yan for you and endured all these years. I have never known how to write the word dignity."

After she finished speaking, the anger on her face disappeared, replaced by a flattering smile. She shook herself, and emerged from the thick quilt with her slender body. She stretched her arms forward and hugged Chu Huanjun's calves.

"If we talk about whether it's worth money... If the prince is willing to do Zhining a favor, understand Zhining's pitiful hardship over the past few years, and reward Zhining with a good night, then Zhining's life will be valuable."

Chu Huanjun couldn't help but roll his eyes. He kicked Zhining aside without any ceremony and said with a wry smile, "Crazy woman. I'm trying to persuade you to respect yourself, but you're still degrading yourself like this. Do you think I'm one of those playboys out there who can eat any woman? This prince has no regard for such a shameless and morally corrupt person like you."

After being kicked, Zhining was so aggrieved that she trembled all over and tears welled up in her eyes.

A woman like Zhining, born in a brothel, who used her beauty to please men, had indeed, as she said, long forgotten the word dignity. All her flattery and fawning were done for a purpose—perhaps for money, fame, or to climb the social ladder, or perhaps something more precious.

Zhining was born beautiful, once a celebrity at the Spring Breeze Tower's singing and dancing booths, her smile worth a fortune. She'd spent years in the underworld, relying on her beauty for her own good. She'd grown weary of both the fame and the money. Now, before Chu Huanjun, Zhining tried her best to flirt, only to be met with rebuff.

Although she acted with a humble attitude that disregarded her dignity, she still had some backbone in her heart. She had admired Chu Huanjun for many years, and just wanting the light in his eyes to linger on her for a moment was worth it.

Zhining picked up the scattered clothes and put them back on one by one, saying calmly, "Your Highness, you don't know yet, right? A few days ago, I was traveling in Qingshui Town and happened to meet a miracle doctor in the town. We hit it off immediately and had a great conversation. Coincidentally, he said he could cure the illness that had plagued me for years, so I invited him to my residence... Oh, by the way, this miracle doctor is called Cheng Tianshui. Do you recognize him, Your Highness?"

Hearing Cheng Tianshui's name, Chu Huanjun's expression changed, but he said, "You can find whoever you want to treat your illness. I don't care."

After saying that, Zhining smiled sweetly, walked to the dressing table, grabbed a white jade porcelain box, and shook it gently in front of Chu Huanjun.

"This is what the miracle doctor asked me to give you. But since the prince doesn't recognize the miracle doctor, I guess he's too old and got the wrong person. I think this little porcelain box is exquisite and beautiful, it must be worth a lot of money. Why don't I pick a day to pawn it at the pawnshop and save some money to buy new clothes."

Tao Yao, who was peeking at the side, couldn't help but feel surprised - in this world, there was actually someone who dared to threaten Chu Huanjun?!

What is even more surprising is that Chu Huanjun, this old fox, actually fell into the hands of others.

By this time, Tao Yao was completely overwhelmed with admiration for Zhi Ning. They say opportunities favor those who are prepared. If she had even a fraction of Zhi Ning's intelligence, she wouldn't have been so frustrated every time she ran into Chu Huanjun.

But everything that happened next made Tao Yao sigh again. Chu Huanjun, this old fox, was so cunning and treacherous that no one else could match him.

Chu Huanjun calmly returned to his original position, propping up his head with one arm. A charming smile spread across his lips as he said to Zhining, "Didn't you just ask me to spend a night with you? Come on."
