Lou Kui felt like she was about to break down again.

This garbage system is so useless; it's unbelievable that it has such a flaw.

"Why didn't you remind me before that Fei Yu, being intelligent, would have noticed?"

System: "Didn't you say that once you become Fei Yu's woman, you two would definitely get closer, and Fei Yu would cherish and protect you more?"

"I'm not human, and I don't know how your relationship will develop, so I trusted you."

It spoke with obvious disdain, "Who knew you were such a loser?"

Lou Kui: "..." This system is definitely a substandard product, it's rubbish.

But now is not the time to argue with the system.

She originally wanted to deny it, but now she's prepared to listen to the system.

She cried with great distress, "I... I just... I just love you so much."

The Third Prince looked at her indifferently, "You like me, so you have to scheme against me like this?"

Lou Kui looked at him pitifully with red eyes, "I just want to be your woman, I just like you."

The Third Prince raised an eyebrow. "Yes, you are still a woman."

"So you've been disguised as a man all along?"

"They're really good at disguising themselves; we haven't noticed them even after we've been in contact with them for so long."

He was genuinely surprised; after spending so much time together, he hadn't realized at all that the other person was a woman.

After being scolded by Qingyou, he also thought about his feelings for Lou Kui.

I looked closely and noticed she has an Adam's apple but no ear piercings.

Therefore, he felt awkward about this kind of liking. He believed that he was a normal man, so his liking for Lou Kui could not be that kind of feeling, but simply a simple liking and appreciation.

Who knew she was a woman?

Lou Kui choked back tears and said, "I only pretended to be a man in order to survive. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to a woman living alone in Qingzhou."

Of course, that scoundrel couldn't tell that she was a woman disguised as a man, since she had exchanged items with the system as soon as she transmigrated, items that made her look incredibly realistic.

Fei Yu didn't quite believe Lou Kui's words.

But it's no use saying all this now.

He asked, "What do you want to do now?"

"Restore your identity as a woman, and I'll marry you?"

"Should we continue disguising ourselves as men?"

He couldn't guess what Lou Kui was trying to do by suddenly pulling this stunt.

Lou Kui reached out and grabbed Fei Yu's arm, looking at him with eyes full of adoration, "Of course I will continue to disguise myself as a man for you."

Fei Yu raised an eyebrow. "For me? What does that have to do with you dressing up as a man?"

Lou Kui quickly betrayed part of her father's influence: "I discovered that my father secretly possesses a considerable power and has connections in the capital. As long as I remain his son, this power will fall into my hands."

"What's mine will be yours then."

She looked at him with complete trust and reliance and said, "You can marry me after you've succeeded."

If you say that you only like someone without any ulterior motives, Fei Yu, with her personality and intelligence, would definitely not believe it.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Fei Yu believed Lou Kui's words, but not entirely.

His thoughts raced, and he was somewhat surprised to learn that his纨绔 (playboy) cousin was not as simple as he seemed.

What are they planning to do, cultivating a powerful force behind the scenes and making arrangements in the capital? Rebellion?

If he really wanted to rebel, he must have a lot of stuff at his disposal, so it would be worthwhile for him to take the risk.

Seeing that he was thinking, Lou Kui took the initiative to approach him and whispered in his ear, "I can also read faces and draw talismans, and I can also help you win over a group of useful people."

“For example, if you can get Shen Ke to work for you, most of the money from your future business will go into your pocket.”

Then she hooked her hand in his palm and said, "I just like you so much that I couldn't help myself. Please don't blame me, okay?"

Fei Yu wanted to push Lou Kui away, but she managed to hold back.

He suppressed the slight disgust that arose in his heart, took the initiative to hug Lou Kui, and pressed her into his arms.

Where she couldn't see, his eyes were indifferent. "Of course I won't blame you."

Since she's offering herself up for his use, he'll grant her wish.

He closed his eyes, but if Qingyou knew about his relationship with Lou Kui, she would probably be even less likely to reconcile with him.

His heart ached a few more times.

A moment later, a resolute look appeared in his eyes. For the throne, all sacrifices were worthwhile.

And once he gets into that seat, he can just snatch the pomelo away.

Now that he has become the supreme ruler, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has no choice but to obey.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little better, and I wasn't so bothered by Lou Kui's scheming.

Therefore, the favorability rating did not drop.

Lou Kui leaned against Fei Yu's chest, thinking to herself that Fei Yu's favorability rating hadn't increased at all, which was really unfair.

Rather than relying on him to become empress, it would be better to use his power to help Prince Guangfeng succeed in his rebellion, so that he could become empress later.

Wouldn't it be faster to have women on both sides than to be like this now?

The two people embracing each other were lost in their own thoughts, unaware of each other's true feelings.

Fei Yu originally had a crush on Lou Kui, but now that he had her, he felt it was meaningless.

It's a pity to throw it away, but it's tasteless to eat it; that's how he feels about the Lou Kui now.

The person I still think about is Qingyou.

Therefore, Lou Kui was not allowed to stay overnight, but was instead sent back to the Prince's residence.

Then the maid changed the sheets and other items.

Seeing the bloodstains on the sheets, he thought that he was Lou Kui's first man, and he was quite satisfied.

After returning home, Qingyou watched another good show through the mental imprint.

She discovered that Lou Kui really enjoyed this kind of unconventional approach.

Men in ancient times weren't stupid; they thought being together meant they'd be devoted to each other? What a joke!
