"You have someone you like, and you don't want to marry the prince, right?"

Xia Xizhi's words made Qi Qinglan's eyes widen, and she was panicked and a little bit disbelieving.

"How do you know..."

Only Caihuan, her closest maid, knew that she liked Zhang Xiu, but she was sure that Caihuan would never tell anyone.

How did this Miss Xia know this?

"What do you want to do?" Qi Qinglan immediately looked alert.

"Don't panic, I'm not here to threaten you. I just happened to overhear the conversation between the Queen and the Crown Prince. I granted you this marriage to win over your father and your brother. But once the Crown Prince secures the throne, your family will face a terrible end..."

Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless. Your brother has military power, and your father is the Minister of Revenue. If you become empress, the Qi family will inevitably be doomed."

This long string of words made Qi Qinglan gradually change from vigilance to fear. After covering Xia Xizhi's mouth with her hand, she looked around with her almond-shaped eyes in panic and saw that there was no one around before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Xia, don't ask me to say this to you."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Xizhi smiled and gently pulled her hand down.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. I just think your family is loyal and you're a kind and simple girl, so I told you this. The main reason is that time is tight, and it will be too late by the time the dinner arrives.

But, believe it or not, if you don’t, just pretend I never said it.”

Qi Qinglan paused, her slender eyebrows slightly frowned.

Her brother actually said the same thing, asking their father to arrange a marriage for her as soon as she reached the age of 15.

But ever since she met Zhang Xiu, she no longer looked down on anyone else, so she had delayed it until now.

"I believe you, but...if the Queen grants me the marriage, I can't resist." Qi Qinglan said with a worried look on her face.

She regretted it now. She should have sent someone to ask Zhang Xiu earlier.

She had also read history books, so she naturally understood what Xia Xizhi said, and her father and brother also understood it. She just held on to a lucky mentality, thinking that she was low-key enough and might not be chosen to be the Crown Princess.

Unexpectedly, after Princess Dayong was unwilling to marry, Wei Yanran, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister who was of marriageable age, also met with an accident. Now there are only two or three people who can be the prince's principal wife.

"You can't resist openly, but you can prevent the queen from choosing you," Xia Xizhi said.

Qi Qinglan looked at Xia Xizhi and her eyes suddenly lit up. This young lady Xia was very smart...

"Miss Xia, can you tell me what to do? Pretend to be sick?" His tone was a little anxious.

"But if I pretend to be sick, I can hide for a while, but I won't be able to hide for long. Maybe I'll have to accept the order tomorrow."

"Newly crowned champion Zhang Xiu, can you please?"

As soon as Xia Xizhi said the word Zhang Xiu, Qi Qinglan's face flushed and she said quickly,

"How do you know all this...?"

"Just tell me whether you like him or not?" Xia Xizhi said with a smile.

"Why are you so blunt?" Qi Qinglan blushed and hesitated, but finally nodded.

"The main thing is that we're running out of time. We need to make this happen quickly. I just saw him resting after bringing his prey back. You still have time to go find him now."

If someone were to see you secretly giving or receiving something from him before the bonfire dinner, your reputation would be ruined, and even if the Queen were interested in you, she would have to give up."

Xia Xizhi gave a straightforward solution.

"Ah? This, this is not good..." Qi Qinglan was surprised, but thinking that this should indeed be the best method at the moment, she blushed and gritted her teeth.

"I don't care about reputation. My father and brother will be put in solitary confinement at most. But I don't know him. He..."

"He likes you."

"You said he..." Qi Qinglan was stunned.

Xia Xizhi coughed lightly, "I happened to see him pick up your handkerchief and hide it on his chest."

Qi Qinglan paused for a second, then her eyes lit up, she stomped her feet and hardened her heart.

"I'm going right now!"

After saying that, he turned around in a hurry.

......

Xia Xizhi turned around with a smile. This girl was also interesting.

After walking a few steps and turning the corner, Huo Jin pulled her over and held her in his arms.

He heard the conversation between Xia Xizhi and Qi Qinglan just now.

His Zhizhi was indeed smart. She destroyed the Queen's plan with just a few words... Huo Jin's mouth curled up.

But when he thought about his Zhizhi going to the dog prince's tent at night, his face suddenly darkened again and his tone became low.

"Zhizhi, I sent someone to assassinate that dog emperor and the prince tonight. Don't go to the prince's tent."

Originally, he wanted to plan step by step, to kill the emperor and the prince with justification, to clear the name of this body, and to avenge his parents.

But now Zhizhi is going to take risks...

Huo Jin's face was as cold as a pond, and his narrow eyes were filled with sinister intent. He might as well just kill those two directly.

Huo Jin pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper cheek, and his whole body was filled with an evil aura.

What does it matter to him if the world is in chaos? All he needs is to be able to protect his children and let them enjoy wealth and glory.

Those old ministers who refused to obey were beheaded directly.

He wasn't a good guy anyway, so the role of tyrant suited him well.

"No, if you do that, no matter who ascends the throne, it will be illegitimate and will definitely cause civil unrest, and the poor people will suffer."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. You've seen me before, I can become invisible. If anything goes wrong, I can escape."

"I want you to take back what belongs to you openly and avenge your parents."

"Don't you trust me?"

Xia Xizhi pretended to be angry, with the corners of his mouth drooping.

"I do not have."

"Then you just listen to me."

Huo Jin pursed his lips slightly and remained silent as a compromise, but his eyes were full of resentment. He picked up Xia Xizhi and went into the tent.

He entered the tent, pressed Xia Xizhi under him, grabbed her wrists and lifted them above her head, pressed them tightly on both sides, and suddenly leaned over to kiss Xia Xizhi.

Xia Xizhi: "Woo!"

This time, it was particularly frantic, like a wild wolf, biting from top to bottom, from lips to ear tips to collarbone to full chest, giving Xia Xizhi a suffocating pleasure, his whole body trembling with stimulation...

......

After a moment, Huo Jin held Xia Xizhi in his arms with a satisfied smile, admiring the marks he left on Xia Xizhi's body.

"This is even more beautiful."

Xia Xizhi was furious and glared at him, "Even more beautiful? Then how about I get it all over you too?"

"Sure, I'd be happy to."

Huo Jin curled his lips and began to unbutton his collar.

Xia Xizhi: I was careless. For a pervert, this is not a punishment but a reward.

.......

"Oh my God, what happened? Is she possessed? How could the eldest daughter of the Qi family, such a steady and elegant person, do such a thing..."

The sudden sound coming from outside the tent made Xia Xizhi pause, and then he heard Qi Qinglan's crying voice faintly among the bustling sounds outside.

Xia Xizhi's eyes lit up. Qi Qinglan looked conservative and weak, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless and decisive in doing things. It seemed like it worked!

After quickly fastening his clothes, Xia Xizhi ran out.

The scene not far away made her mouth twitch...

Qi Qinglan was wrapped in a blanket and leaning in Zhang Xiu's arms, with her upper body naked, curled up and sobbing.

She originally thought Qi Qinglan was just holding hands with Zhang Xiu and exchanging tokens of love before being discovered, but she didn't expect her to be even bolder...

She is really something!

Xia Xizhi's eyes fell on Zhang Xiu, and she couldn't help feeling embarrassed. It was said that the most handsome man would be chosen as the third place winner. The ancients were right.

With his almond-shaped eyes and high nose bridge, he looks like Pan An, but I didn't expect him to have such a good figure. His upper body is so well-defined and thin, which makes him look very sexy...
