Xiao Qing Qing knew that she wouldn't be able to avoid him today. She stood up the moment he came over.

"Qingyi, did you have a good time after I left that day?" This time, the Crown Prince didn't have any opening words. He just asked, and it was the kind of question that had a hint of a thorn in it.

Xiao Qingyi knew that he should already know that she knew martial arts. Since this matter could no longer be hidden, she did not want to hide it anymore and directly replied: "I'm fine. Isn't His Highness heart very clear about this?"

Su Qian Xing looked at her. His expression was no longer gentle, and his tone was different from usual. However, it seemed that he still wanted to play the love card. "Qing Qing, I really don't understand you. Am I not good to you? Why are you doing this to me? Just because of those trivial matters? "

"A small matter? Heh ~ "Xiao Qingyi laughed coldly," Why does His Highness the crown prince often treat the lives of others as a small matter?

"You should know that I don't want your life. There's no benefit in dying for me. I didn't know what mother did, otherwise I would never have let her do it." As he spoke, he took a step forward, moving closer to her across the table. "You should know that I'm in love with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to the palace to beg for my mother to speak for us in front of the royal father."

Of course, Xiao Qing knew. However, she also knew that the power that this man had in mind was insignificant compared to the power that he had in front of him.

She pursed her lips with self-mockery in her eyes, "So, what does His Highness plan to do now?"

"Come back."

"What?"

"I know that you have a close relationship with Su Qian Han, perhaps you have done a lot of things for him, but I will not pursue these matters. As long as you can come back to me, I can still treat you like how I treated you before and give you the identity you wanted." Su Qian Xing stared at her. This time, he was not 'sincerely in love' like before, but he was truly negotiating the terms.

This time, Xiao Qing Qing truly felt that she was pitiful.

He had spent so many years for such a person.

"Su Qianxing, do you really think that the things I did for you before was just to get your name?" She had always wanted to ask him about that.

Even though she had already given up on him, she still wanted to ask him. She wanted to know for what reason she had wrongly paid him all these years.

Su Qian Xing was stunned for a moment. It was as though he didn't expect her to suddenly change the topic and ask such a question. He frowned, instinctively thinking that she wanted something higher, "I've said it before, as long as you stay by my side, I can give you everything you want."

There were only a few things a woman wanted.

"Whether it's a family honor or a reputation, I can give it to you, and you'll be satisfied with it."

Almost in an instant, Xiao Qing Ran felt as if this was the first time she had experienced such loneliness in so many years.

She was wrong, she had been wrong from the start. She shouldn't think that this man truly loved her, and she shouldn't think that he treated her like this because of power and status, no.

What was lacking between them was not merely their status, but their mental distance.

He was a modern man, and what he wanted was the complete heart of a lover. However, this was ancient times, and the men here had always lived in the world of three wives and four concubines.

Even the commoners were male chauvinists, let alone the princes who had grown up in the palace under the influence of rotten culture.

This man couldn't give her what she wanted from the start, not just him, but any man in the world couldn't give her anything she wanted.

After realizing this point, Xiao Qing Ran felt that she was becoming more and more pitiful. Not only did she have to live for many years, she even wanted to take revenge after her rebirth. She had to fight with this man.

She had always felt that she was living for herself, but in reality, everything revolved around this man. Unknowingly, her life had already formed into a strange circle.

"How is it? Have you made up your mind? " Su Qianxing frowned, "You know that. I have always kept my word, so are you planning to come back?"

Xiao Qing Ran looked at him in such a manner. She did not know what she was thinking at this moment and could only ask: "If I really listen to you and return to your side, how do you plan on arranging me in this situation? In your heart, I have betrayed you before. Can you really trust me completely? "

"I'll believe you, but you'll have to prove it yourself." Su Qian Xing thought that she wanted to change her mind, and his tone turned slightly better, "I think that even though you're dating Su Qian Han now, that man won't trust you too much. You can continue to interact with him, or even develop further, as long as you can find out more useful information and help me eliminate him, I'll accept you again."

Xiao Qing looked at him, listening to his detailed plans for the next step, listening to his plans for his future, listening to his conceited calculations, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. Finally, she closed her eyes and said, "You can go."

Her tone was very heavy, not because of depression but a very tired voice. It was as if a few years had passed in just a few minutes.

However, he knew that he couldn't push her too hard at times. "I will give you time to think about it, but you also know that I don't have that much time, so you should reply as soon as possible."

He thought she would agree to his request in the end, because she had loved him for so many years.

"After I finish my business, I will come to find you in the manor. I hope that I can get a satisfactory answer when the time comes." These were his last words.

As Xiao Qing watched him turn around and leave, her heart grew heavier and heavier. Her hands tightly clenched her throat as if she was holding her fate.

She would do as she thought before and would still help Su Qianhan take the throne and drag him into hell. It was just that this time, she was not only doing it for revenge, but for her own dignity and pride!

Riko did not know what was going on with her young lady. After the return of the palace banquet, she felt that something was amiss. Her entire body was emitting a gloomy aura, and there was no trace of clarity in her eyes.

This was the first time Riko had seen her like this. She did not dare to ask her about the situation, so she could only do what she usually had to do to help her rest.

Xiao Qing laid on the bed and opened her eyes to look at the ceiling. There were many voices in her head, but she suddenly thought it through. All sorts of complex emotions turned into conviction, a firm conviction.

In the darkness, a cold light shone in her eyes. It was abnormally clear and cold, as if it could freeze everything in the world.

Slowly, she closed her eyes, burying everything deep within her heart and falling into a deep sleep.

However, the night was not long, and before Xiao Qing Ran could even have a nightmare, she was suddenly disturbed.

Xiao Qing Ran's sleep was shallow. Furthermore, she was not in high spirits after hearing Su Qianxing's words at the banquet today. As a result, she quickly opened her eyes and sat up when the second person appeared in the room.

At some point, that person had come to her bedside and was maintaining the posture of reaching out to lift the curtains.

When Xiao Qing Qing stood up to look over, she coincidentally met a pair of cold and repressed blood-red eyes.

That person didn't seem to expect that she would wake up so suddenly. His body stiffened and his dark, blood-red pupils violently trembled.

Xiao Qing did not wait to see the incoming person's conditioned reflex as she threw a punch. The opponent's reaction was quite fast and was controlled before the fist could even hit him.

Such a familiar scene caused Xiao Qing Ran to be startled. Then, she raised her head to look at that person as her eyes trembled violently. "Su Qian Han?!"

Opposite of them, under the moonlight, Su Qianhan's face was pale and his eyes were sunken in. His eyes were bloodshot, and the fingers on her wrist continued to heat up.

Xiao Qingran raised her head to look at him with a bit of surprise. The phrase 'why are you here' changed to 'why are you here' in her mouth: "Are you poisoned again?"

How could he have forgotten? It had been a month since he last saw him in the suburbs. No wonder he didn't attend the palace banquet tonight.

Su Qianhan didn't say anything. His lips were tightly pursed. The bones of his fingers that were gripping her wrist were extremely hard. They were like claws that were embedded into her flesh, causing even Xiao Qing Qing to feel pain.

"Let go of me first." Xiao Qing suddenly frowned and said.

At this moment, Su Qian Han's consciousness was being swallowed, but he could still hear her voice. However, he had to take a while to transmit the information to his brain.

The moment he let go of her, Xiao Qing Ran immediately got off the bed and forcefully pressed her down on the bed while stepping on her shoes. She then quickly pressed two of his acupoints.

However, after doing all of this, Xiao Qing Ran discovered that it was completely useless. His bodily functions had already been forcefully altered when he was poisoned. Last time at the hot spring was when he was unprepared.

That was true. If he knocked Ye Zichen out, he could solve the problem. This man didn't need to go to the suburbs to soak in hot springs in the middle of the night. He just needed to have the servants prepare to knock him out before the poison hits him.

"What can I do?" It was already too late for Xiao Qinggran to ask why the man didn't go to the hot spring in the suburbs as per usual, but instead ran over to where she was.

The truth was that even if he wanted to go now, it would be too late.

However, just thinking about it made Xiao Qing feel that it was a big matter and so she could only respond to his needs so that he would feel slightly less pained.

Su Qianhan's consciousness was being held tightly by the poison. Her blood-red eyes reflected her appearance, but her brain was completely unable to process it.

He cursed silently. He subconsciously reached out his hand to tear the blanket apart with his inner force before quickly tying his hands together. His mouth was still muttering: "If you go crazy later, I can't take it by myself. I can only let myself be wronged."
