Chapter 4: The Truth Comes Out After Drinking: The Interplay Between Two Liars

The house was filled with the smell of alcohol, and Lu Jingchuan's face became unreal.

Qin Yuqing felt like she was really getting drunk, otherwise why would she feel a little hot.

"I'm not drunk!" But it was only a moment of trance. Qin Yuqing suppressed her strange emotions and pretended to be drunk. She looked at Lu Jingchuan dissatisfiedly and said, "You haven't drunk yet!"

Lu Jingchuan looked at her through the jar of wine that Qin Yuqing picked up, and then as if he sighed or something, his shoulders relaxed and he took the jar of wine from Qin Yuqing's hand and drank it.

Some of the liquid slid down the corners of Lu Jingchuan's lips and flowed down his neck into his slightly open clothes. It seemed that the temperature in the room had risen a little, and the blush on Lu Jingchuan's face became more obvious, making him look even more attractive.

Qin Yuqing shook her head vigorously. What was wrong with her? She was clearly not drunk.

"Sixth Princess." Lu Jingchuan walked towards Qin Yuqing step by step. He threw away the empty jar in his hand and took out a small and exquisite wine pot. His eyes were deep, "You should be drunk."

As he spoke, Lu Jingchuan stroked Qin Yuqing's face with his fingers, bit open the seal of the wine jug with his mouth, then gently lifted Qin Yuqing's face slightly, and poured the wine in the jug into Qin Yuqing's mouth.

Qin Yuqing opened his eyes wide. No one had ever dared to treat him like this since he was a child! Did Lu Jingchuan even know what he was doing?

But the place where Lu Jingchuan touched felt a little itchy, and a strange feeling spread from that piece of skin to her whole body. Her eyes gradually became blurred as she looked at Lu Jingchuan, and her consciousness became more and more confused.

"I don't want to drink anymore!" Qin Yuqing realized that there was something wrong with the wine. She pushed Lu Jingchuan away suddenly. The corners of her fox eyes turned red and tears lingered in her eye sockets. She leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, and her body continued to feel hot.

"What did you give me to drink?" Qin Yuqing only felt hot, but no other discomfort, nor thirsty. However, Qin Yuqing knew that this was not the time to question, and the acting was definitely not halfway through, so he continued, "It's delicious, I want more!"

"Medicinal wine." Lu Jingchuan raised his hand and drank the last bit of the wine. Then he looked at Qin Yuqing and repeated, "You are drunk. You can't drink anymore."

Medicinal wine? Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan suspiciously, not sure what this expressionless man was going to do.

But this was just the right time. Just as the medicinal wine and the drug were taking effect, Qin Yuqing walked towards Lu Jingchuan with a shaky step: "Where did this handsome guy come from? I like this type."

Qin Yuqing was out for revenge. Who had asked Lu Jingchuan to feed her the medicinal wine in such a strange way? She had to retaliate. "How much do you want per night? I'll pay for it."

Lu Jingchuan's icy face collapsed for a moment. He seemed to have not expected Qin Yuqing to say this, and his face became even redder. But before he could open his mouth, his chest was grabbed by a pair of soft hands.

"Mm, it's really big. I give you a good review." Qin Yuqing smiled evilly, and looked at Lu Jingchuan tenderly with her tearful fox eyes. Then, she scratched it hard with some dissatisfaction and said, "But I like softer ones."

Lu Jingchuan was so frightened that he took a few steps back. He was unable to speak for a moment and stammered, "Princess, please respect yourself."

Qin Yuqing laughed in her heart, but her face was a little disappointed. She looked at Lu Jingchuan persistently, approached Lu Jingchuan again and said, "This princess has money! This princess can pay."

Lu Jingchuan had a headache. He really didn't expect Qin Yuqing to be like this when drunk.

"Aruan." Lu Jingchuan took a deep breath, looked at Qin Yuqing and asked, "Aruan, answer me a few questions and I will promise you."

Good boy, you can’t hide it anymore. Let’s see what he wants to ask.

Qin Yuqing walked forward quickly and grabbed Lu Jingchuan's hand: "Just ask, and after that you'll be mine."

"Yes, it's yours." Lu Jingchuan took another step back. His breathing became low and rapid, as if he was trying hard to hold back something. "Who are you?"

What kind of weird question is this?

"This princess, my name is Qin Yuqing, and A'ruan is my childhood name."

Lu Jingchuan's face showed no reaction. He continued, "Are you alive?"

"Alive" again. Could it be that the main quest "alive" released by the system has other meanings? Then what is the relationship between Lu Jingchuan and the system? If there is a connection with Lu Jingchuan, then what is his connection with the system?

"Alive? In this harem, life and death are beyond your control. Do you think I am alive or dead?" Qin Yuqing, still drunk, vented the resentment of the original heroine. "For so many years, I have lived in that small place. What difference is there between life and death? There is none at all."

"Although I am a princess, my life is not as good as that of the palace maids and eunuchs. At least they still have hope and a place to go, unlike me."

Lu Jingchuan wiped the tears from Qin Yuqing's face with a handkerchief. He asked in a low and gentle voice, "What do you want to do?"

"I, Qin Yuqing, will become the empress and kill those people!"

"Who do you want to kill?" Lu Jingchuan asked step by step.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Qin Yuqing's eyes, but she then concealed it. In fact, she was not a good person. If she was not powerless now, Nanny Chen and the fake Chuntao would have been dead long ago.

Of course, this does not mean that Qin Yuqing will let the real Chuntao go. Even if she is loyal in the original book, to Qin Yuqing now, she is just a time bomb, because she is not his own and may betray him at any time. This alone is enough for Qin Yuqing to kill her.

"Who did you kill?" Lu Jingchuan gently pried open Qin Yuqing's clenched hands and asked gently again, "Who did Ah Ruan want to kill?"

"Of course." Qin Yuqing wanted to say those who bullied her and those who were traitors, but when she raised her head and saw herself in Lu Jingchuan's dark eyes, she suddenly changed her mind.

She, Qin Yuqing suddenly wanted to take a gamble, for this moment.

"I will kill anyone who stands in my way." Qin Yuqing held Lu Jingchuan's hand with her backhand, and said seriously with her fox eyes, "Lu Jingchuan, only I can protect your Lu family. Only when I ascend the throne can your Lu family truly survive."

Lu Jingchuan didn't pull his hand away: "But Ruan, you are more passive than me now."

"But my final destination is already determined. To this world, I, Qin Yuqing, am nothing but a rotten life, but you are different." Qin Yuqing stood on tiptoe and whispered in Lu Jingchuan's ear, "You can't afford to gamble, handsome brother. You come from the Lu family, you bear the entire Lu family's burden, and your final destination can only be the Lu family, but the Lu family's final destination cannot be you."

After saying that, Qin Yuqing took out her hands and cupped Lu Jingchuan's face, then pulled him down to touch his head with hers and said, "Handsome brother, only when I step into the court can I reshuffle the world, and only when a woman enters the officialdom can she burn her bridges."

"After all, is there anything more shocking in this world than a woman entering the officialdom and becoming emperor?"

"There are other women who choose."

"You have no other choice. They are all controlled chess pieces. Even the queen's daughter Qin Qinqin, as long as she is still in this harem, she will always be a chess piece. She may be married to a foreign prince, or she may be married to any family in order to stabilize the court." Qin Yuqing pushed Lu Jingchuan away, picked up the wine on the ground and took a gulp.

"Only me, only the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing, a person who was created to be useless, can you choose."

The candlelight flickered on Qin Yuqing's face, and Lu Jingchuan was sure that Qin Yuqing was really alive.

"How can I help you?" Lu Jingchuan asked suddenly.

"No rush." ​​Qin Yuqing handed another jar of wine on the ground to Lu Jingchuan and said, "As you said, everyone needs to know that I, Qin Yuqing, am alive."

"If I'm not alive, I can't protect the Lu family, don't you think so, handsome brother?" Qin Yuqing touched Lu Jingchuan's wine jar with the wine jar, blinked at Lu Jingchuan, and drank it.

Lu Jingchuan also drank it all: "I will help you."

Qin Yuqing walked up to Lu Jingchuan again, poked his face with her finger, tilted her head and asked, "How much is it per night, handsome brother? This princess has plenty of money."

Lu Jingchuan shook his head slightly. He held Qin Yuqing's disruptive fingers with one hand and said with a smile, "I've paid."

"What?" Qin Yuqing hadn't finished her words when Lu Jingchuan gently pinched her neck. She felt an unbearable tingle and fainted the next moment. Qin Yuqing's body softened and fell into Lu Jingchuan's arms.

"Lu Jiu, clean up." Lu Jingchuan said coldly, then picked up Qin Yuqing and put her on the bed. He lowered his head to look at Qin Yuqing's red lips, then he kissed Qin Yuqing's fingers and said, "Let's deal with what happened tonight."

"Okay, master." Following Lu Jiu's answer, the Taoist priest outside the door was stabbed in the neck by the assassin, who then dealt with the body and the floor.

While Qin Yuqing was asleep, the room was cleaned thoroughly and there was not even a trace of alcohol.

"Sixth sister! Wake up! We still have to copy scriptures today."

Qin Yuqing was woken up by someone. When she woke up, she saw Qin Qinqin scolding people: "If the Sixth Princess doesn't wake up, you can forget about your heads."

Qin Yuqing's mind was still on the poking of Lu Jingchuan's face and the tingling sensation of someone rubbing the back of her neck. Hearing Qin Qinqin's words, Qin Yuqing coughed violently a few times, then said weakly, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Sister. I'm too weak, and this is the first time I've slept in such a comfortable bed, so it's inevitable that I'll be a little overwhelmed. I hope you can understand."

Qin Qinqin snorted awkwardly. She waved her hand to tell the group of people on the ground to get out. Then she stood next to Qin Yuqing and said, "Who cares about you? I'm worried about myself. My birth date and time have been made into something like that. If I don't have some sincerity, I'm afraid I won't be able to send it away. So you can't hold me back."

What a weird little girl.

Qin Yuqing smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to get up, she touched something strange, so she looked at Qin Qinqin and asked with a smile, "Sister, can you please go first? I'll come over after I finish washing up."

"I'll wait for you at the door." Qin Qinqin said as she looked up and walked out. As if to hide something, she said before the door closed, "I'm just afraid that what happened yesterday will happen again. It won't matter whether you live or die by then. It will be troublesome if you drag me down."

Qin Yuqing nodded with amusement. To be able to develop such a weird personality in this deep palace, she must have been spoiled by the Queen when she was growing up.

Qin Yuqing took out a sachet from the bed, on which was a piece of paper with cursive handwriting written on it.

If you want to stay healthy and change your medicine, please look for Chuntao.

She didn't write any more, it seems that her ally is really a cold person, however.

Qin Yuqing crumpled the paper in her hand into a ball and threw it into the lamp, narrowing her eyes as she watched the flames devour the paper. She had to know the secret hidden in Lu Jingchuan. Qin Yuqing had a hunch that if she could find out more about Lu Jingchuan, some of her strange behaviors would also be explained.

Apart from the necessary task release and settlement, the system would not make a sound no matter how Qin Yuqing called it.

She had a feeling that coming here was no coincidence.

And that dream, the blurry child, and those words.

"I'll wait for you."
