Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Along the way, Jiang Xuanzhou pondered Qi Ruyi's words, his pale face gradually turning crimson. His chest heaved violently, his surging rage tearing open the wounds that had begun to scab over again, like a sharp blade piercing his skin. Every breath made him tremble.

"Stop the car." He shouted with all his might, leaning weakly against the wall of the car and breathing heavily.

"Qin Guanzhi!"

A low, hoarse voice was squeezed out from his thin lips, and the anger contained in it was no less than a roar.

"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?" Chuyi tightened the reins, confused. They were in the middle of the street, and the massive carriage had blocked off half of the already narrow road.

The carriage following behind them recognized the emblem of the Linhuai Palace and slowly turned away without saying a word.

Jiang Xuanzhou was so upset that he hesitated to give the order to set off.

It was the first time that Chuyi saw the prince lose his composure in public. He looked through the gap in the curtain worriedly and found that he was staring at the chessboard on the table in a daze.

After half a cup of tea, Jiang Xuanzhou finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and let Chuyi continue to move forward.

Imperial Palace Penglai Hall

Li Chanjuan was just about to go visit her son, but unexpectedly he entered the palace first.

After learning the purpose of his visit, the smile on Li Chanjuan's face gradually disappeared.

Ye Sangning was right. This Ruan Chuyin was a real disaster. She couldn't be spared! The murderous intent in her eyes burst out without any concealment, causing Jiang Xuanzhou to immediately be on guard.

He knew his mother very well. Once he had the murderous intention, he would not give it up easily. Without hesitation, he hurried to the imperial study.

Jiang Chenfeng was as surprised as Li Chanjuan and quickly called him in.

Just as Jiang Wenzhou expected, Jiang Xuanzhou was so eager to save people that he changed his confession in front of Emperor Dayong, shocking the Emperor into thinking there was something wrong with his ears.

"Are you serious? Xuanzhou, you'd better think it over carefully!" Jiang Chenfeng confirmed with him again.

"Absolutely true." Jiang Xuanzhou's attitude was very firm.

"Then do you know who is trying to assassinate you?" Jiang Chenfeng also ascended the throne by stepping on countless corpses, and he didn't believe what he said at all.

"I don't know." Jiang Xuanzhou knew he couldn't fool his father, so he didn't bother pretending. Right now, he just wanted Ruan Chuyin to be safe. As for the rest—there was still time to come.

Emperor Dayong gazed deeply at his youngest son. After a long moment, he said solemnly, "Xuan Zhou, is it worth it?"

Jiang Xuanzhou raised a hand and unconsciously covered his abdomen. He suppressed the resentment rising in his heart and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I know. Go back and have a good rest."

This time, for Ruan Chuyin, Jiang Xuanzhou not only took on Qin Guanzhi's "crime of exile", but also lost the possibility of ascending the throne forever.

Crown Prince Jiang Wenzhou's achievements were far less impressive than those of Prince Linhuai. Emperor Yong had previously hesitated between his two sons regarding the ultimate succession. He now felt that Jiang Wenzhou's temperament was more suited to the position.

In fact, Jiang Chenfeng still doesn’t know his son well enough.

Jiang Xuanzhou wasn't as utilitarian as Li Chanjuan, who only cared about power. To describe him as someone who loved power more than beauty was a perfect description.

But Jiang Wenzhou was different. He loved both the country and the beautiful woman, and he wanted both.

So, the next day Emperor Yong ordered Qin Guanzhi to be sent back home.

Qin Guanzhi had not bathed for a long time. He had an unshaven beard, was covered in gray, and gave off a strange smell.

When he basked in the sunshine again, he couldn't help but look up and take a deep breath. That was the smell of freedom.

Those who came to pick him up today included his parents, his younger brother, his master, and A Yu, but Ruan Chuyin was missing. He felt empty inside, but at the same time, he thought it was good this way, at least he didn't have to worry about scaring her.

"Dad, Mom, is Hatsune doing well in the mansion?" This was the first sentence he said after he was released from prison.

Ye Sanning sneered twice, smoothed the greasy hair hanging on his chest, and said, "She has a conscience! Don't worry, she eats well, uses things well, and lives well at home."

I'd thought about bringing that girl along before, since she's so pretty. There are so many people here, it's better to just stay home and worry less.

"Thank you, Dad and Mom!" Qin Guan felt a lot more relieved after hearing this.

Qin Lang frowned and said nothing from beginning to end, staring at his son's grimacing appearance, and his mood did not improve much.

"Guanzhi, don't be impulsive again in the future!" Qi Ruyi patted his shoulder and advised.

His disciple was a true gentleman when he was gentle and refined, but he could also be quite violent when he got angry. Thinking of the kick he had given to Princess Hao Rong of the Southern Star Kingdom earlier, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Qi Ruyi had spent her entire life refining two precious elixirs—the Bone-Renewing Pill and the Great Rejuvenating Pill. The Bone-Renewing Pill had previously been given to Hao Rong, while the Great Rejuvenating Pill was now given to Jiang Xuanzhou.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

If God gives him a disciple with great talent, he must dig out some flesh and blood from him.

"Guanzhi will remember this. Thank you, Master." Qin Guanzhi bowed deeply to Qi Ruyi.

Yu Yu looked at the dirty body of the prince, curled his lips, and couldn't help saying: "Young Master, do you want to clean yourself up first before returning home?" He felt that the young master looked too embarrassed now, and Sister Ruan would definitely not like it.

Qin Guanzhi also had the same idea, and he really looked sloppy now.

"Listen to me, mother. Just go back like this." At this time, Ye Sanning spoke. She glanced at her son's miserable appearance and tugged at his robe, which was so wrinkled that the original color could not be seen.

With a "swish" sound, two new holes were torn on the lapel and hem of the clothes.

"No wonder people still call you Master Qin!"

She looked at her son deeply, turned around and got into the car with her husband.

A man who cannot understand a woman's thoughts and is too embarrassed to do so is destined to be a burden to others.

Ye Sanning sometimes wondered if it was because she was too strict in educating her child since childhood that caused Guanzhi to be so emotionally dull.

She lifted the carriage curtain and looked towards her other two sons. One was fifteen, the other eighteen. They were more lively and articulate than Guanzhi, so they should be less of a concern for her.

Qin Guanzhi and Yu Yu looked at each other in surprise and were stunned for a long time before getting in the car.

"Young Master, how about I help you tear off both sleeves?" Yu Yu read a lot of story books, so he understood everything immediately. He thought the young master could look a little more pitiful, and the opening of the collar of his shirt could be opened a little wider.

"Ayu, don't make trouble." Qin Guanzhi flicked his sleeves and took out the jade leaf hairpin from his arms.

A Yu said that Miss Ruan took it off her head and gave it to Qu Haoyue. She wears it every day, does it mean that she has him in her heart?

Looking at the young master's empty eyes, Yu Yu knew that he was immersed in his own fictional world again.

"Sir, actually women prefer unrestrained men."

"What do you mean?" Qin Guanzhi turned his head to look at him.

Yu Yu smiled foolishly and lowered his head.

Just take it off, what's the point?

But he couldn't bring himself to say this. The young master certainly wouldn't like to hear it. He might even reward him with a chestnut.

You have to figure out the path of love on your own.
