Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

East Palace, Chou hour.

"Yaoyao, will you never leave me?"

"say."

Xie Qingchen's movements were rough and violent, and he was eager to verify something, but the hand on He Yaoyao's palm-sized face was stroking her cheek gently, but it was very gentle. The deep affection in his eyes, as dark as a deep spring, was enough to drown her.

"Yes, I will never leave you for the rest of my life."

Ten days ago, Xie Qingchen, who had been pursued by He Yaoyao for ten years, finally confessed his love to her and said that when he ascended the throne, he would make her the most noble woman in Dajin and that she would be the only woman in his life.

Originally, she could have completed the mission that day and escaped back to her original world, but after pursuing Xie Qingchen for ten years, she developed feelings for him, so she stayed and did not leave, and spoke sweetly to him for many days.

Today is the deadline given to her by the system.

"That's good."

After getting a response, Xie Qingchen, satisfied, leaned over and placed a kiss on He Yaoyao's sweaty forehead, and finally let her go.

Dawn was about to break and Xie Qingchen was about to go to court. He Yaoyao noticed that the man sleeping next to her had gotten up, so she forced herself to get out of bed as well, despite her tired body.

"Your Highness, let me help you get dressed."

After all, there wasn't much time left, and she wanted to stay closer to Xie Qingchen for a while longer.

She reached out to take the prince's dragon robe from the hollow flower stand beside her and was about to put it on Xie Qingchen, but his rough hand grabbed her wrist.

"Yaoyao, you worked hard last night. Go back to the couch and sleep for a while. I'll call Li Jin in to serve you."

Without waiting for He Yaoyao to speak, Xie Qingchen had already domineeringly picked her up and put her back on the couch.

Then he let down the bed curtains to prevent others from seeing the scenery inside.

Li Jin came in and swiftly helped Xie Qingchen wash and dress.

Although he was a eunuch and the bed curtains were drawn, he still didn't dare to look at the bed.

He Yaoyao sat on the couch and had no desire to sleep. Thinking that they were about to part, she stared at Xie Qingchen's face outside the tent with particular eagerness.

He has deep facial features, eyes like cold stars, a straight nose, and lips as thin as a knife blade. When he purses his lips slightly, he has a sense of coldness and aloofness, and he is intimidating without being angry.

She really couldn't see enough of it. If it weren't for her mother to take care of in her original world, she would have wanted to stay and not leave.

"Yaoyao, why are you looking at me like that? Are you reluctant to let me go to court? If you really can't bear to leave, how about I take you into the palace with me?"

Xie Qingchen's slightly teasing voice interrupted He Yaoyao's thoughts.

He Yaoyao quickly came back to her senses, "No need, thank you, Your Highness. I will just wait for your return in the East Palace."

She couldn't disappear from Xie Qingchen's sight.

"Okay then." Xie Qingchen looked regretful.

He was already dressed, so he opened the bed curtains, leaned over and kissed He Yaoyao on the lips, smiling dotingly, "My Yaoyao is still so shy and doesn't like to see people. But that's okay, Yaoyao's beauty is enough for me to see alone."

He Yaoyao leaned forward slightly, put her arms around his neck, and rubbed his chest affectionately.

I really can't bear to part with him.

He Yaoyao just took the initiative a little bit, and Xie Yanchen's clear eyes were aroused with lust, dark and very scary.

But she had just been demanded severely by him last night. If it happened again, her body might not be able to bear it... Xie Qingchen suppressed the desire that was surging in his eyes, kissed the top of Lu Yaoyao's head, and left quickly.

The moment the door closed, He Yaoyao was sad for a long time. Then she calmed down and took the initiative to knock on the system, "I'm ready."

"Well, host, recite this silently in your mind for ten seconds. After ten seconds, your soul will be pulled out of your current body and return to your original world. This room and your body will soon be engulfed in flames."

He Yaoyao looked at the familiar layout of the room and slowly closed her eyes.

But the expected feeling of soul leaving the body did not come. He Yaoyao waited for a while, but still did not see it, so she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Has the soul-body separation mechanism malfunctioned?" she asked the system in confusion.

"No, it's not." The system's voice was a little nervous. "I need to show you a picture."

He Yaoyao was just wondering when a scene appeared before her eyes.

Xie Qingchen was dressed in a prince's dragon robe and stood tall in the Golden Throne Hall. The emperor's majestic voice blasted into He Yaoyao's ears like a cannon.

"Since you have such a request, and Prime Minister Li's legitimate daughter, Li Wan'er, is also attracted to you, I will grant her to you today as Crown Princess, thus completing this auspicious marriage."

A happy marriage? Xie Qingchen and Li Wan'er?

He Yaoyao's brain was shut down. Who could tell her that what she saw was not real?

Xie Qingchen had already knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Father."

The room fell into deathly silence.

After a long moment, the system spoke again, "It seems your strategy mission has failed. Xie Qingchen has requested an imperial decree to grant Li Wan'er the title of Crown Princess. It seems he has no intention of being with you forever."

He Yaoyao was completely disheartened, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "So if the attack fails, does that mean you'll be wiped out instantly? Will your body and spirit disappear?"

All the strength in her body was drained away, and Xie Qingchen gave her a hard blow.

They were clearly still talking sweetly and affectionately just a moment ago, and Xie Qingchen was domineeringly refusing to let her leave him, but the next moment he was asking for permission in the Golden Palace to marry another woman.

"You won't die immediately. This system has just used 100,000 points to exchange with headquarters and urgently applied for a new identity for you. However, if you fail to complete the strategy mission within one year, you will be wiped out."

He Yaoyao laughed at herself, "Look, you've developed feelings for me and are willing to make an exception for me, but Xie Qingchen still refuses."

"There's no time. I'll send you away now..."

……

"I never thought that Tianxianglou would have such a beauty. It's worth it. This hundred taels is really worth it."

Li Zan's chubby hands couldn't wait to touch Lu Yaoyao's face, but before they touched her cheek skin, Lu Yaoyao slapped him in the face.

"Get out of here." She immediately stood up and pushed away Li Zan who was standing right next to the bed.

He ran quickly towards the door, but before he had taken two steps, his knees gave way and he fell forward uncontrollably.

"Hehe, let's see where you can run this time." Li Zan, who was slapped, rubbed his cheek without minding, and approached Lu Yaoyao with a lewd smile again.

"Get out of my way."

Lu Yaoyao's whole body was resisting the greasy Li Zan from getting close to her, while she complained:

Oh my god, why does the system always arrange this kind of start?

Last time she was nearly eunuched in the cold palace, and this time it was a fat, big-eared pig-headed guy.

At this moment, a clear voice came into my ears:

"Li Zan, you stupid pig, get out of my way."

At the moment when Li Zan's pig lips were about to kiss Lu Yaoyao's lips, a foot kicked him in the face and kicked him away.

"Ouch!" Li Zan fell face down on the ground and squealed like a pig.

"Miss, are you okay?" Lu Yaoyao stared at a young general with handsome features and a stern temperament who helped her up from the ground.

This... is he Gu Huai?

The moment she recognized Gu Huai, the system immediately responded, "Yes, your new target is Gu Huai, Xie Qingchen's lifelong friend. You know him well. He is upright and has a clear mind. He is much easier to capture than the cold-hearted Xie Qingchen."

"I... I'm fine, thank you, General Gu." Lu Yaoyao suddenly met an acquaintance and felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to look the other person in the eye for a moment.

"How do you know my identity?"

When asked this question, Lu Yaoyao almost bit her tongue.

Oops, she spoke too quickly and almost exposed herself.

"Yes……"

Before she could explain, Li Zan, who had recovered, had already climbed up from the ground, looking as if he was going to settle the score with Gu Huai. "Gu, what right did you have to kick me? Be careful or I'll have my father report you to the Emperor, saying that you relied on your military achievements to act recklessly and assaulted me for no reason."

"Report me? You forced a decent woman, how can you be punished for this crime?"

"This... I spent a hundred taels of silver to buy her. It's a fair transaction. Why do you interfere?" Li Zan still believed that he was right. He puffed out his chest and looked very angry.

"Really? Then follow me to see the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and I will make the judgment then."

Two hours later, Lu Yaoyao came out of the Dali Temple.

The case has been closed.

The madam of Tianxianglou was fined three thousand taels for operating illegally and buying and selling decent women. Li Zan, the pig-head, was also scolded by his father, the prime minister, and taken home by being pulled by the ears.

"Miss Lu, do you need me to take you home? The real culprit behind this incident involves your family. Although you don't want to pursue the matter, I'm worried that you will be targeted when you return."
