After returning to the carriage, He Xue stretched comfortably. She was so tired after the day that she wondered if she had been cheated on, since everyone she met seemed to be a green tea b*tch!

"What are you thinking about?" The Crown Prince entered and saw He Xue lost in thought.

"I'm wondering if my element is water? How come I've encountered so many manipulative women?"

The Crown Prince was no longer surprised by the novel words that He Xue sometimes used. Although he didn't know who the green tea was, he understood the meaning of He Xue's previous sentence.

The prince leaned closer to Xue and said ambiguously, "I don't know if your element is water, but I do know you're made of water, especially at night..."

He Xue quickly covered the prince's mouth, silencing him.

"Brother Crown Prince, why do you blurt out everything?" He Xue said reproachfully, her face flushed.

"Why do you still blush so easily?" the Crown Prince teased with a smile.

"I'm ignoring you!" He Xue turned away and stopped looking at the Crown Prince.

"Are you angry? Alright, I won't tease you anymore!" The Crown Prince turned He Xue around and said.

"Then you can't just say things like that in the future!"

"Alright, don't talk nonsense! Let's talk about it back in the room!" The Crown Prince tapped Xue's nose and said.

He Xue glared at the Crown Prince playfully, then ignored him.

"He Xue, don't you want to know who that woman was just now?" the Crown Prince asked.

The Crown Prince felt that He Xue was too calm. Did He Xue not care who was by his side?

Why doesn't He Xue care at all? If someone like that appeared in He Xue's life, I would definitely be angry.

"Does Your Highness want me to interrogate you about your affair with that girl?" He Xue looked at the Crown Prince with a smile.

"No!" the crown prince said somewhat awkwardly.

"Brother Crown Prince, didn't you say she was someone else? Someone else is an irrelevant person, so why should I let an irrelevant person appear in our conversation!"

You said you had nothing to do with her, right? What else do you want me to ask?

"Do you really have something going on with her?" He Xue asked, staring at him.

"How could that be? I've only met Xu Yan once or twice, we're not familiar at all! What could we possibly have going on?" the Crown Prince quickly explained.

"You know her name is Xu Yan, and you still say you're not familiar with her!" He Xue said unreasonably.

"I..." The Crown Prince felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He hoped that Xue could have a little argument with him, which would show that Xue cared about him.

But when Xue started making a scene like this, he found himself struggling to cope.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, okay?" The Crown Prince wanted to end the topic quickly.

“Brother Crown Prince, I don’t question you because I don’t care about you, but because I trust you! If I were suspicious of everyone around you, our relationship would only drift further apart!”

The Crown Prince was very pleased with He Xue's words. He gently put his arm around He Xue's shoulder and said, "I knew you were the most understanding one."

He Xue leaned against the Crown Prince's chest, her expression full of pride, and said, "Of course!"

The Crown Prince kissed He Xue's forehead affectionately. "Next, shouldn't we talk about how to punish Qing Dai?"

The Crown Prince still has this matter on his mind. Punishing Qingdai is a pretext; his main purpose is to find out how Hexue will use her beauty to seduce him.

"Brother Crown Prince, could you please not punish Qingdai?" Hexue thought the Crown Prince had already forgotten about this matter!

"That won't do. I'm fair in my rewards and punishments. I'll reward those who deserve it, but I can't let those who deserve punishment go unpunished!"

"Can we offset each other's merits and demerits?" He Xue asked tentatively.

"No. Merit is merit, and fault is fault!" the Crown Prince said, leaving no room for refusal.

Why is the Crown Prince so resolute today? He Xue was a little puzzled by the Crown Prince's attitude today.

"Of course, I'm waiting for your honey trap!" the prince thought smugly.

"He Xue, Qing Dai is your person. Aren't you going to plead for her?" the Crown Prince reminded He Xue.

"Brother Crown Prince, please, please let Qingdai go, okay?" He Xue said coquettishly, shaking the Crown Prince's arm.

"When you ask someone for a favor, you should have the right attitude!"

"Crown Prince, you are taking advantage of someone in distress!"

The Crown Prince smiled indifferently, "He Xue, what do you think about Qing Dai also being given twenty strokes of the cane?"

He Xue also saw through the Crown Prince's intentions; he was doing it on purpose. But she couldn't risk Qing Dai's life!

He Xue gently pushed the prince, who fell down. He Xue turned around and pressed down on the prince, sitting on him. He Xue cupped the prince's cheeks and traced the shape of his lips with the tip of her tongue.

The prince seemed frozen in place, then his breathing became rapid.

"Does the Crown Prince like it?" He Xue asked the Crown Prince in a seductive voice.

The crown prince struggled to suppress his desires. "Is this all?"

He Xue gently bit the prince's Adam's apple.

In an instant, He Xue sensed the clarity in the Crown Prince's eyes vanish, replaced by a surge of overwhelming desire.

The prince flipped over and pinned He Xue beneath him, showering her with tender, intimate kisses.

He Xue was instantly dizzy from the kiss, but she still retained a sliver of reason. "Brother Crown Prince, we're in the carriage!"

The Crown Prince roared, "He Zhu, return to Yuqing Palace immediately!"

Upon hearing this, He Zhu immediately increased the speed of the carriage.
