At this time, the night wind suddenly blew up, and a lot of colorful flowers fell from the trees. Amidst the flying rain of flowers, Chu Hong's voice was very gentle, with a hint of temptation.

"Just like when you taught me to read when I was a child, sister... how about we govern this beautiful country together?"

Chu Qingluan suddenly paused, took a half step back in disbelief, and her phoenix eyes shrank drastically.

"Chu Hong!"

"Do you know what you are saying?" Her voice trembled for the first time.

What do you mean by sharing the country? What do you mean by beautiful mountains and rivers?

This is clearly...

She was shocked at Chu Hong's feelings for her and felt it was extremely absurd and ironic.

Yes, when he was young, the prince didn’t like Chu Hong and often bullied Chu Hong, relying on the support of the Xie family.

At that time, Chu Qingluan did give him some warmth.

But that was just out of sibling love, and protection for an innocent child.

But unexpectedly, this feeling actually planted the seeds of distortion in Chu Hong's heart.

Now, he was looking at himself with such a fiery and crazy look.

Chu Hong stared at her loss of composure and smiled more gently, "My sister has been smart since she was a child. Why don't you understand now?"

"Shut up!"

Chu Qingluan suddenly let go of the dagger, which fell to the ground with a clang.

"Chu Hong, you are sick!"

She looked down at him: "To the point of being sick, mistaking ambition for affection, and confinement for protection."

"I am not anyone's subordinate, let alone a plaything of your crazy and delusional thoughts!"

She bent down to pick up the dagger, and put the tip of the knife against Chu Hong's chin: "I will assume that you are out of your mind for what you said today. If you do it again..."

“Swish!”

As his hand raised and the knife fell, a strand of hair fluttered down from Chu Hong's forehead, gently fell to the ground, and was blown away by the night wind.

"I don't mind killing you with my own hands!"

Chu Hong remained kneeling there for a long time until Chu Qingluan walked away.

He raised his hand and touched the blood on his neck, put his fingertips on the tip of his tongue to taste it, and his eyes became more and more crazy.

"Your Highness... I'll remember that."

…

Chu Qingluan had just put the human skin mask on her face and when she returned to the yard, she found an uninvited guest standing in front of the door.

Amur was dressed in black, almost blending into the thick night, and it was impossible to see the expression on his face.

Seeing Chu Qingluan coming back, he slowly walked out of the shadows.

"Just now I saw the young lady going to the garden, and His Royal Highness Prince Rui happened to be there too."

"The royal family of Da Chu all like to whisper at night?"

Chu Qingluan straightened her clothes, her expression unchanged, "Your Majesty, you are joking. We just happened to be old acquaintances, so we were just chatting."

"Oh?" Amur suddenly chuckled and took a step closer to her, his eyes fixed on Chu Qingluan's face.

"But I saw that the prince looked at you as if he was looking at a treasure that had been lost and found again."

Chu Qingluan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Is it a gentleman's behavior to spy on others when they are talking?"

Amur was not annoyed, but instead an interested smile appeared on his face.

"I am just curious. This girl can make King Rui lose his composure and get me to help with her tattoo. What is her hidden identity?"

He suddenly turned around and his eyes moved slowly over the mask on Chu Qingluan's face.

"Could it be that you, like me, have unspeakable purposes?"

"Your Majesty's purpose is to come to Da Chu to celebrate his birthday and enhance the friendship between the two countries. My purpose is to return to Beijing safely." Chu Qingluan took a half step back and put some distance between him.

"As for the identity - the king will know it when we arrive in the capital. After all, our deal should be complete by then."

Amur's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and he suddenly withdrew his hands and put them behind his back: "The girl is more patient than I thought."

He turned around and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Chu Qingluan.

"Your Majesty, please stay!"

Amur tilted his head to look at her.

"Just now, His Royal Highness Prince Rui said that he wanted to discuss a business deal with the King. He said... he could help the King get more benefits in Da Chu than the court promised."

She was testing to see whether Chu Hong had proposed cooperation with Amur.

Amur paused.

"But I think," Chu Qingluan lowered her voice, "that His Royal Highness Prince Rui's bargaining chips may not be as reliable as he said."

"Oh?" Amur raised his eyebrows.

Chu Qingluan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty should have heard that there is another Princess Zhaoyang in the royal family of Great Chu, who has been carefully nurtured by Your Majesty since she was a child.

And His Royal Highness Prince Rui has half foreign blood in him, not only His Majesty, but also the court officials will not allow him to ascend to the throne. "

She saw a dark flash in Amur's eyes and added, "The king is a smart man. He should know who to cooperate with in order to get what he wants."

Amur turned around and stared at Chu Qingluan without blinking.

"Are you reminding me that I should cooperate with a woman?"

Chu Qingluan met his scrutinizing gaze and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, do you think that cooperation depends on the gender or how much benefit can be gained?"

"The benefits that Prince Rui can promise you are based on the premise that he can ascend the throne. But Princess Zhaoyang has the entire court behind her. If she wants to protect someone, at least 70% of the officials in the court will respond."

Amur's thumb pinched the jade pendant on his waist, his eyes deep: "How do you know that Princess Zhaoyang is willing to cooperate with me?"

"She doesn't have to cooperate with you," Chu Qingluan continued.

"She only needs to continue to be the daughter of heaven, and the chances of King Rui's victory will be reduced by another 30%. And your Majesty, as long as you defend the bottom line of the Western Region trade route when she competes with King Rui, you can get a more solid trade document than the prince promised.
