After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Half an hour later—

"Are you saying that you are my wife ten years from now, that my mother poisoned me in an attempt to kill me, and that my father is actually the emperor?"

Jun Lanjin lay on the chaise lounge, her long, slender legs propped up on the table, causing the rocking chair to sway back and forth.

Xie Xing nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's right, that's exactly it."

Jun Lanjin sneered: "Absurd!"

Xie Xing leaned close to Jun Lanjin and whispered, "Your Highness, it's not absurd. You just need to check the pastries that the Princess sends you every day, and you'll know."

Jun Lanjin squinted and turned his head to look at Xie Xing with suspicion.

Xie Xing blinked and looked at Jun Lanjin with great sincerity: "Your Highness, please believe me, please believe me!"

Hua An glanced at Xie Xing, then leaned close to Jun Lanjin and whispered, "Your Highness, this woman is somewhat suspicious, but since she knows such private matters of Your Highness, she's not entirely untrustworthy, otherwise..."

"Your Majesty."

Just then, the voice of a maid came from outside.

The maidservant approached Jun Lanjin, gave a graceful bow, and said, "The Princess Consort requests your presence in the front courtyard."

Jun Lanjin waved his hand and said loudly, "Tell Mother that I'm not going."

The maid was slightly taken aback, then placed the pastries she had brought in front of Jun Lanjin.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has made your favorite peach blossom pastries."

Seeing this, Xie Xing took the opportunity to approach Jun Lanjin and whispered, "Maybe they poisoned these pastries."

Jun Lanjin glanced at Xie Xing, then turned his head away in disgust: "You dirty girl, just talk, why are you standing so close?"

Junlan dismissed the maid and left the plate of apricot blossom pastries.

Have Hua'an take him for a checkup.

Xie Xing hurriedly said, "Only the divine physician Ximen Zhu from Medicine King Valley can diagnose this!"

Hua An took the pastries out.

Xie Xing was spared his life for the time being.

The strategy system kept chattering: "Host, what kind of strategy is this? This is the smartest villain in the book; she won't believe you're some future wife."

Xie Xing chuckled.

"Just you wait and see."

A few days later, Xie Xing was lying on a chair, basking in the sun, feeling utterly bored.

Suddenly, a pebble hit Xie Xing on the head.

"Ouch!" Xie Xing cried out, clutching his head. Looking up, he saw Jun Lanjin sitting astride a large tree in Xie Xing's courtyard.

Today he was wearing a red and white brocade robe, his hair half-tied up and hanging down on both sides.

He wore a headband inlaid with rubies, looking both exquisite and dashing.

Xie Xing was dumbfounded.

"You filthy girl, if you keep looking at me like that, I'll gouge your eyes out."

The boy sitting on the treetop threw another pebble at Xie Xing.

Xie Xing: "..."

She stood under the tree, raised her face, looked up at Jun Lanjin above, and smiled, "Your Highness, what are you doing up there?"

Jun Lanjin jumped down from the treetop and stood in front of Xie Xing, looking at him with suspicion.

He walked closer with his hands behind his back until he was only one centimeter away from Xie Xing, then stopped.

He said, "How do you know that my mother would give me a slow-acting poison?"

Those pale pink lips moved slightly, but Xie Xing couldn't hear what he was saying anymore. He swallowed hard, stood on tiptoe, and gave his pink lips a big kiss.

Well.

Just as I expected, it was soft and cool, like jelly.

Jun Lanjin's eyes widened.

He covered his lips, his face instantly turning as red as boiling water, from his neck to his face. He was furious, he raised his foot, and roared, "You, how dare you!"

"How could there be such a reckless woman as you!"

Xie Xing quickly leaned closer and coaxed softly, "Your Highness, you've already found the results, haven't you?"

"Then that proves I was right. We are future husband and wife, what's wrong with me kissing my husband?"

Taking advantage of Jun Lanjin's CPU burning out, Xie Xing quickly pulled her to her soft chair, massaged her shoulders and back, and then took advantage of her.

[Ding, favorability +20.]

[Ding, favorability +40.]

Strategy System: ...

Jun Lanjin was not so easily coaxed.

He pursed his thin lips, slapped Xie Xing's hand away, and said, "Why should I believe you?"

Xie Xing blinked, leaned close to Jun Lanjin's ear, and whispered, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can see how the Emperor and Empress Dowager treat you."

"If you really don't believe me, go and squat down by the artificial hill behind the Prince's mansion tonight, and see if you can catch your mother making a deal with someone."

Warm breath brushed against Jun Lanjin's ear, causing his earlobe to turn red.

Xie Xing saw it.

She blinked and stuck out the tip of her tongue to lick it.

Jun Lanjin: !

He immediately covered his ears, jumped up from the soft chair, and pointed at Xie Xing: "You, you, you!"

The boy's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Xie Xing glanced at him and chuckled.

Ziran said, "Your Highness, what's there to be shy about? We're an old married couple."

Kids are easier to tease.

Xie Xing was secretly delighted.

Jun Lanjin fled as if he were running away.

They left without hesitation, but secretly their favorability rating increased: [Current favorability 50+.]

Xie Xing looked at this favorable impression and felt a surge of emotion.

Is it really that easy to gain favor during your teenage years?

When she was trying to win over the twenty-year-old Jun Lanjin, she gradually built up his favorability bit by bit.

After a few days.

Jun Lanjin climbed through Xie Xing's window and sat heavily on the edge of Xie Xing's bed.

Xie Xing got up in the middle of the night and saw a shadow in the darkness, which startled him instantly.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the person was Jun Lanjin.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty?"

From the darkness, Jun Lanjin's deep voice came: "Are you really my future wife?"

Xie Xing stood up, walked to Jun Lanjin's side, and said, "Of course, Your Highness."

It seems that Jun Lanjin really did witness the scene of the old princess making a deal with someone.

However, the toxins in Jun Lanjin's body have been accumulating for several years, and it would be difficult to remove them without the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Xie Xing said, "I have a way to cure the Prince's chronic poison."

"In the future, I found a Tian Shan snow lotus for the prince, which can cure all the poisons in the world."

"If we find it, the poison in the prince's body can be cured."

Xie Xing paused at this point.

Because she thought she heard sobbing.

She approached Jun Lanjin, placed her hand in front of him, and scalding tears fell into Xie Xing's palm.

Jun Lanjin, are you crying?

Xie Xing was stunned.

You should know that she had never seen Jun Lanjin so vulnerable before.

"Your Highness?" Xie Xing's voice softened.

She went over to Jun Lanjin, touched his face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy's beautiful peach blossom eyes reddened, tears welling up in them. He raised his wet eyelashes and looked at Xie Xing with a look of disbelief: "My mother, why did you do this?"
