Chapter 61: The Little Prince is Moved by Jiangnan 3
The night was dark, and dark clouds in the sky blocked the crescent moon, not allowing a single ray of light to penetrate. Only the candle on the table emitted a faint glow, the flame swaying in the wind and dancing on the young man's face.
In the hot spring pool, Qin Yanheng did not take off his clothes, but sat in the water wearing only a shirt, leaning against the edge of the pool with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, waiting for the monster.
Just now, the monster disguised himself as Luo Qingling and came to the palace to find him. It must have some unknown purpose. Although Qin Yanheng didn't know what the monster was going to do, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the monster would not give up.
Rather than waiting for it to make a move, it is better to set a trap yourself and force it to show up.
So Qin Yanheng simply jumped into the "blood pool" where Luo Qingling encountered the monster with his clothes on, and waited quietly for it to appear.
There was a rustling of wind in his ears, and a strong aroma filled his body: the smell of blood in the pool. He had yet to figure out where this red water came from, or why it kept bubbling up. Perhaps only finding the monster would reveal the answer.
Half an hour passed, the water below was calm, the wind blew and the trees moved around, but there was no trace of the monster.
Just when Qin Yanheng was about to lose his patience, he suddenly felt the water in the pool become cold. He suddenly opened his eyes and squinted at the place where the red thread emerged from the bottom of the water.
In the blink of an eye, half of the hot spring pool was dyed crimson.
Qin Yanheng's palm hidden behind his back suddenly flipped over, his eyes staring straight at that place, muttering something, and making a gesture with his hands.
Water vapor rose instantly.
"Your Highness..." The voice was soft and misty.
"She" is here!
Qin Yanheng sat there motionless with his eyes closed, his upper body exposed outside the pool. His face was calm, as if he couldn't hear "her" calling him, and his right hand hidden in the red water was secretly making hand gestures, waiting for the opportunity.
Although he didn't know why this monster always disguised itself as Luo Qingling, Qin Yanheng felt a little uneasy.
Moreover, before, this monster could only transform into Luo Qingling's appearance, but now, in less than two hours, it can actually imitate Luo Qingling's voice and speak. How could its monster power increase so quickly?
"Your Highness, why don't you look at Qingqing?"
The monster stroked Qin Yanheng's back slowly from the waist upwards with his hands, and then put his willow-like hands around his neck, tilted his head and breathed into his ear like orchid.
"Your Highness went to great lengths to get Qingqing to accompany you on your southern tour, wasn't it just for this moment of love?"
This damn monster is talking nonsense!
Qin Yanheng couldn't sit still and couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to raise his hand and throw this lying monster into the pool.
But he couldn't, he needed to know the monster's purpose.
The monster leaned his face against the side of Qin Yanheng's neck, his lips pressed against the white skin, opening and closing them, and sounds floated out of his red lips.
"Your Highness, why are you ignoring me, Qingqing? You've made me wait so anxiously..."
The scent was sweet and greasy, completely different from the fresh fragrance on Luo Qingling's body, and seemed to have a bit of aphrodisiac smell.
Qin Yanheng suddenly felt the savage energy in his body stirring again. He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his body's reaction.
"Your Highness is silent, but you feel guilty?"
ill.
He is the dignified Prince Rong'an, and he does things openly and honestly. How could he feel guilty?
"Since Your Highness has known for a long time that I am the jade, why haven't you made any move yet? Qingqing has been waiting for you so hard..." Now it was the monster's turn to be unable to sit still. She lay on Qin Yanheng's shoulder and sobbed softly, as if accusing the young man of indifference.
When Qin Yanheng heard this, his eyes suddenly opened.
Let’s not talk about whether the golden jade marriage stone is true or not. Even if it is true, how does the monster know that Luo Qingling is the jade stone that can subdue him?
"What do you want me to do?" Qin Yanheng asked tentatively.
Hearing this, the monster smiled sweetly, and the hand that was around Qin Yanheng's neck slowly moved forward and brushed straight down.
Qin Yanheng suddenly grasped that soft jade-like hand, and their hands clasped together before his left chest. Through the thin layer of his undershirt, he could hear his heartbeat, beating strongly, in waves.
The monster disguised as Luo Qingling came close to Qin Yanheng's ear, tapped his left chest with a finger, and whispered.
"That depends on your Highness's heart."
Ask a ghost!
Qin Yanheng couldn't help himself. He suddenly stood up, and the water rushed from his body into the pool with a few sounds. He turned his hand and instantly threw the monster from its back into the pool. His right hand, which had just been forming a seal underwater, slapped the monster.
The red water splashed everywhere.
The monster lay at the bottom of the hot spring pool, unable to move, with her body restrained by a golden ring. She looked up at Qin Yanheng, her body twisting and struggling, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
In the pool, Qin Yanheng was shocked for a moment, but regained his composure in the blink of an eye.
It turned out that even if the Golden Dragon Sword was with Luo Qingling, he could still use the Golden Circle. But why didn't he work before? Qin Yanheng looked at his palm. Now was not the time to worry about this.
"Tell me, why did you pretend to be Luo Qingling and provoke me?" Qin Yanheng raised his chin with disdain on his face.
As for why he used the word "provocation", it was because Qin Yanheng felt that he was reluctant to say the word "tease".
"I...I say, please don't kill me, isn't it enough for me to say it?" The monster has never been a human, so naturally he doesn't understand why he will still be killed even if he tells the truth.
The dagger suddenly appeared, and the tip of the sword pierced the monster's throat, frightening her so much that she screamed and hurriedly finished her words in one breath.
"I'm just a little demon in the mountains. I happened to know that Lady Luo is the jade stone in the hands of the Moon God in Heaven. So I thought of borrowing Lady Luo's body to combine with Prince Rong'an, who is also a marriage stone, so that I can absorb spiritual energy and become an immortal as soon as possible."
If the monster hadn't lied, Luo Qingling was indeed the jade stone! She had come to the human world to subdue him.
An idea suddenly popped up in Qin Yanheng's mind: he was going to be in trouble.
"Then why does she have a high fever and fall into nightmares?" Qin Yanheng asked coldly.
The monster's hands and feet were bound with golden rings, and only her head could move. She shook her head vigorously, saying she had no idea: "I don't know why Lady Luo became like this. I only used her body, not her."
"It was not me who caused Madam Luo to fall into a coma." The monster looked up with a sincere expression.
"You are just a little demon. How can you have such great demonic power to use your body to create illusions?" Qin Yanheng asked, not missing a single clue.
Unexpectedly, the monster was silent for a long moment after hearing this. Then, he looked at him in confusion and said, "Prince Rong An, as the Taoist's only disciple in the world, how could he not know that such low-level illusions are only effective against the one who is moved by his feelings?"
This kind of low-level illusion is only useful to the one who is moved.
The one who is moved...
I was moved.
The mountain breeze blew across his cheeks, and the drizzle was cool, but it couldn't blow away the heat that was surging in Qin Yanheng's heart at this moment.
He likes Luo Qingling.
Even the monsters in the mountains could see this, and even the followers around him understood it, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
The love hidden deep in his heart was exposed by the monster's words. Qin Yanheng felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had been seen through a long time ago. It was really uncomfortable.
In his twenty years of life, he has never liked any young lady, and he doesn't know what it feels like to like someone.
Qin Yanheng thought that he just didn't dislike Luo Qingling, so he wanted to spend every day with people he didn't dislike, and wanted to give the most delicious desserts in the world to people he didn't dislike...
Yes.
As early as two hours ago, when he saw "Luo Qingling" at the palace gate, he had already realized his feelings for Lady Luo, but he had not yet truly understood that this was love.
Now I have to thank this brave monster.
Qin Yanheng came back to his senses, returned his gaze to the monster's face, and continued to ask, "How did you enter this sacred mountain filled with immortal energy?"
The monster was about to answer when he saw a red light suddenly appear not far away. The monster opened his eyes wide and stood still. After a moment, dark red blood flowed from the corner of his lips.
The monster is dead.
The rocket that flew from nowhere pierced her chest, intercepting the words that the monster had not yet spoken.
Qin Yanheng had seen this arrow more than once. One time, when Hua Manlou was trying to summon Cui Susu's soul, the arrow suddenly broke through the window and frightened Cui Susu, who was about to tell the truth.
And the other time was... in the late prince's room.
It seemed as if something was about to emerge from the calm water, and no one knew it.
The sudden sound of footsteps at the palace gate interrupted Qin Yanheng's thoughts.
"Your Highness, Madam Luo has woken up."
Qiulai's voice was neither loud nor soft, and Qin Yanheng could just hear it clearly. He hurriedly put the monster into his pocket, then turned around and walked quickly towards the bedroom.
His body was dripping with red liquid, which dripped onto the ground as he moved. Qin Yanheng stopped in his tracks and looked down to see that his undershirt was already soaked.
It's not appropriate to go see Luo Qingling in this state...
"Take good care of her. If you need anything, come directly to the palace to find me. I will recognize her."
After saying that, Qin Yanheng jumped up and disappeared on the top of the palace in the blink of an eye.
*
The next day, in the carriage.
Luo Qingling's fever subsided early in the morning. Qin Yanheng wanted to let her rest in Xiaoyun Mountain for a few days, but she was worried about her father and didn't want to waste time, so she rejected Qin Yanheng's proposal. Everyone set off again.
The carriage was shaking slightly, but Luo Qingling didn't care about his swaying body. He sat aside with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Last night she fainted in the hot springs. Doctor Sun said she was tired from traveling all day and had a high fever. But she clearly remembered encountering a monster, and then...
Later, she saw Qin Yanheng appear on the glazed tiles of the bedroom, and she didn't remember anything after that. But why did Qin Yanheng "specially" send someone to tell her early this morning that she had fainted in the pool after soaking for too long?
She originally wanted to find someone to ask clearly, but the attendant said that Qin Yanheng was meeting guests in the royal palace and it was not convenient for him to see anyone at the moment. She waited for a long time but the distinguished guest mentioned by the attendant did not come out, so she left.
Until she set off, she didn't see Qin Yanheng.
Could it be true, as Qin Yanheng said, that she fainted while taking a hot spring bath and had hallucinations, and in fact, Qin Yanheng had never been there?
Luo Qingling was puzzled, feeling something was amiss. Not only Imperial Physician Sun and the maid Qiulai, but even Qin Yanheng had the same story, yet she clearly remembered him coming!
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Luo Qingling took advantage of the moment when the carriage stopped, lifted the curtain, jumped out, and walked straight to the front.
