Chapter 398 Prince Su is a huge jealous man!

Emperor Yan had eight sons.

The eldest son was an illegitimate son, mediocre in talent, yet he held the title of the eldest son, so he was disliked and disliked by Emperor Yan from a young age.

He was also very self-aware and rarely appeared in front of Emperor Yan to cause trouble.

He was a lazy prince who did nothing all day and didn't even have an official position.

The second prince, also known as Crown Prince Duan Rongyin.

He was the eldest son of Emperor Yan.

He was intelligent and diligent from a young age, with a gentle and refined temperament, and his appearance was most like his.

Therefore, he was the most valued and favored by Emperor Yan.

Although he had made a grave mistake six years ago that led to his removal from the position of crown prince by Emperor Yan, as time went by, Emperor Yan began to miss his good qualities day and night.

She was even more reluctant to imprison him forever in that secluded villa in Nanshan, so she went along with the Empress's help to reinstate the Crown Prince.

The Third Prince, Prince Jin, Duan Rongjue.

His mother was of humble origin, just a small merchant's daughter, but Prince Jin was by no means simple.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood out among the princes and been granted the title of Prince of Jin.

His wife was the eldest daughter of the Qu family.

Therefore, among the princes, Prince Jin is the wealthiest.

Unfortunately, the Qu family's reputation is now ruined, and they are now implicated in the Zhong family's affairs. It is uncertain whether the Prince of Jin and his wife will be able to escape unscathed.

We won't mention the fourth prince, Duan Rongxuan.

The fifth prince was Prince Su, Duan Rongshi.

The sixth prince, Duan Rongye, was the first prince born in the palace two years after Consort Yue's death.

He is only fifteen years old now, has not yet entered the court, and has not been granted a title of king.

He was also Prince Su's only close younger brother.

The seventh and eighth princes were even younger, both not yet ten years old.

These are all information booklets about the princes that Li Qingluo recently asked Uncle De to collect for her in detail.

She got a general understanding of the princes' character and family background.

That's how I learned that the sixth prince's birth mother was Consort De.

It is also known that Consort De was the concubine who was closest to Consort Yue when she was alive.

Seventeen years ago, Consort De was still young.

She entered the palace at the age of thirteen. Because of her high family background, she was granted the title of Noble Lady as soon as she entered the palace.

However, because of her timid and cowardly nature, she was often ignored and occasionally bullied.

It was Consort Yue who brought her to her side.

They treated each other like younger sisters.

This is how the smile gradually returned to Consort De's face.

Later, after Consort Yue passed away, Consort De also kept the palace gates closed for a whole year and refused to come out to see anyone.

When she reappeared in the harem, she had completely changed her personality.

She relentlessly pressured the Empress's faction, carving out her own path in the treacherous and turbulent imperial harem, and even gave birth to the sixth prince.

She stopped smiling and became an icy beauty, often treating Emperor Yan with a cold face.

However, he was exceptionally close to Prince Su.

He also often took the sixth prince to visit the Prince Su's residence.

Just now, Eunuch Hai said that the osmanthus cake was delivered by Consort De, but Duan Rongshi fed the osmanthus cake to the rabbit.

This startled Li Qingluo.

Could it be that Consort De was not a good person either?

Duan Rongshi wiped his hands with a damp cloth before saying, "There is no one in this palace I can trust."

Li Qinglu thought for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wrapped a piece of osmanthus cake inside.

“I’ll go back and let Grandpa Luo take a look.”

After saying that, she stood up again: "Your Highness, I should go back now."

"Please take your time washing."

As she spoke, she stepped back, but before she could turn around, Duan Rongshi gently grabbed her wrist.

"Now that you're here, why the rush to run away?"

Duan Rongshi pulled her into his arms again: "Luo'er, the entire Guifu Palace is cold and desolate. Are you really willing to leave me here alone?"

"If you don't come, then so be it."

"It just had to happen."

"How am I to pass this long night?"

Li Qingluo's heart trembled, and she stammered, "Your Highness, although we are engaged, we are not yet married."

"Some things shouldn't be done recklessly..."

Duan Rongshi wrapped his arms around her small waist and pressed her tightly against him: "Oh? What is it? You might as well tell me, I will never do anything reckless."

Li Qingluo: "I don't know, I—um—"

A passionate and longing kiss landed.

This is the third time.

He studied books every day, conceived ideas in his mind many times, and repeatedly summarized and analyzed them. Now he can finally enjoy this matter with proficiency.

A chase back and forth.

A tender embrace, sometimes intense, sometimes gentle.

Duan Rongshi was already quite adept at it and could easily lead her to explore this forbidden little game.

Gradually, their breathing became heavy and labored.

Li Qingluo was also lured and took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and wrap her arms around Duan Rongshi's neck.

Until she sensed something very abrupt...

Li Qinglu realized something and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Before she could react, Duan Rongshi had already released her and turned to jump into the hot spring pool.

He was completely enveloped in steaming smoke.

They didn't even dare to turn their heads.

Li Qingluo was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into nowhere.

Just as she was about to run away in a panic, Duan Rongshi called out to her, "Luo'er, would you please help me put my clean robes on the shore?"

Li Qingluo quickly slipped into the inner room.

She was panting, her face flushed, and patted her burning cheeks a few times before involuntarily touching her slightly swollen lips.

It's truly... lust blinds one's judgment.

Li Qingluo dawdled for a long time.

After her emotions calmed down again, she took the clothes out.

Duan Rongshi had already propped his head up and fallen asleep by the shore.

Li Qingluo tiptoed over, put down the clothes, and prepared to leave, but a deep sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

Guifu Palace seems to be very large.

But apart from Grandpa Hai, he was the only one there.

Emperor Yan wanted to use his own son to wipe away the resentment here.

Although all of this may simply be something made up by Immortal Yunhe and his disciple Qingyangzi.

But if there really is resentment, whose resentment is it?

As he stands alone in this desolate palace, does he miss his mother day after day?

Li Qingluo really wanted to ask him about his mother.

But they didn't know where to begin.

She looked at him for a while before getting up.

However, the ground was slippery, and when she got up, she accidentally stepped on her own hem, and with a "splash," she plunged headfirst into the hot spring pool without any warning.

'Gurgle—'

Li Qingluo took a sip of water before Duan Rongshi scooped her up.

Duan Rongshi opened his eyes and looked at her: "Still want to keep messing around?"

"Luo'er, there's no need to rush. We have plenty of time, let's take it slow..."

He gave a half-smile, which prompted Li Qingluo to punch him in the chest.

"Your Highness—"

Duan Rongshi swiftly raised his hand and tightly enveloped her small fist.

"Don't be angry."

He raised an eyebrow and gently patted his face with her hand.

"If you're willing, then go ahead and hit me."

He was covered in sweat amidst the swirling smoke.

Her long, wet hair clung to her face, with a few strands hanging down.

Let's not even talk about his handsome, godlike face.

This usually aloof and noble prince was now looking down at her with a humble and ingratiating expression, and those eyes alone were enough to captivate her soul.

That's really going to kill you.

She swallowed hard, never imagining that one day she would be so easily seduced by a man's beauty.

Such a handsome man, how could I bear to... no, even if I were willing, how could I dare to actually hit him?

Unless Li Qingluo has eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard.

Li Qingluo just wanted to get ashore as soon as possible.

Blushing, she pulled her hand away, hurriedly wiped her face, and prepared to climb ashore.

However, the bottom of the pool was also very slippery, and she couldn't stand up at all.

In a panic, she reached out and grabbed at Duan Rongshi.

Just one.

His shirt then mysteriously came undone again...

Li Qingluo: ……

A deathly silence filled the air.

Duan Rongshi: "What does Luo'er want to do in such a hurry?"

"I don't mind at all. As long as Luo'er wishes, I can accompany her anytime, anywhere..."

Li Qingluo was so embarrassed that she couldn't hold back any longer and covered his mouth with her hand.

"Your Highness, did you do this on purpose?"

Did you deliberately tie your clothes loosely, waiting for this moment?

She saw through his trick at a glance!

Duan Rongshi smiled slightly: "Is Zongzheng Wuheng more handsome, or is my body more handsome?"

Li Qingluo smiled slightly: "What answer does Your Highness wish to hear?"

Duan Rongshi: "Do you have any other answer?"

Li Qinglu thought to himself: Who in the world knows that the dignified Prince Su, known for his tyranny, is actually such a jealous person in private?

It's been several days already, and you still won't let it go even when you have the chance?

Li Qingluo knew that if she couldn't appease him today, she wouldn't be able to leave the palace.

So he gritted his teeth and went over.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself closer to him.

"Your Highness, isn't there something you've always wanted to know?"

“I actually saw your body back in that cave on the cliff long ago.”

"I still remember that vivid memory vividly! And Your Highness's incredibly beautiful body."

"Does Your Highness know that your body was cold due to poisoning, and it was Luo'er who warmed you up?"

"Does Your Highness know how difficult it was for Luo'er to drag you all the way away from the cliff?"

"In the end, I accidentally fell into the cave, and in order to save your life, I fed you medicine. Every single pill was blown into your stomach by Luo'er, one by one, right up to your mouth."

"Just like this..."

As she spoke, she pressed her lips against his again, just as intently as the first time.

A gentle blow.

Duan Rongshi squinted, then wrapped his arm around her and flipped her over.

He pinned Li Qingluo to the rock.

He reached out and brushed away the damp strands of hair from her forehead.

"Is that so?"

He followed suit, bowing his head and blowing a puff of air at her.

"Since Luo'er saved my life, how can I repay you?"

"How about you repay me with your body?"

Li Qingluo couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."

Duan Rongshi pressed his forehead against hers and couldn't help but kiss her again.

This time, they lingered there for an unknown amount of time.

Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself from taking any further action.

Duan Rongshi only reluctantly let her go when they were both panting heavily again.

"Luo'er, will you come to the palace to keep me company?"
