Chapter 6 Chapter 6 He deliberately pushed her to the limit, watching her...
After returning to the palace, Lingchuan seemed to have really learned his lesson. He got up on time every day, ate normally, and went out for a walk from time to time.
She didn't act like she usually did, but instead became polite and unfamiliar towards Gu Shi.
In the past, she would call his name hysterically, but now she just politely calls him Prince.
Seeing her calm appearance now, Gu Shi inexplicably missed the emotional Lingchuan of the past.
Was she really frightened by him?
He didn't think Lingchuan was really that timid, so he became suspicious. Her figure became vague and elusive in his eyes.
Jinzhan was unusually refreshed, as her aunt had finally stopped bothering her.
She doesn't care what Lingchuan thinks, as long as he doesn't cause her trouble, she's fine.
That girl is too full of energy and has no place to use it, so she is always in trouble.
However, Lingchuan did not have the habit of beating her servants to vent her anger. All her anger was directed at the prince.
Before, Lingchuan had a quarrel with the prince, and a vase almost hit the prince's head. He looked like he wanted to lift the roof off the house. After the quarrel, they made a fuss in the house until midnight, and continued to quarrel the next day. Jinzhan was no stranger to such things in the palace.
However, the title of sworn brother and sister is indeed useful. If she were a concubine, it would be outrageous for her to dare to smash the vase on Gu Shi's head.
Jinzhan didn't think there was anything strange about love affairs between men and women. Lingchuan was looking for death because he had too much free time. If he just went to the dock and carried heavy bags for three days, hey! All his problems would be gone.
After finishing his work in the court, Gu Shi came to see Lingchuan when he had time. He saw that she was just staring at the flowers in a daze, and for a moment he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
Logically speaking, she should be happy that his marriage failed, but she was neither secretly happy nor took the initiative to be intimate with him. Instead, she became uncharacteristically polite and now looked like a proper daughter of an official family.
He reached out to touch her hand.
"Lingchuan, come here."
She silently pulled her hand back and smiled gently at him.
Gu Shi felt like he had punched a sandbag, feeling extremely awkward.
"Lingchuan, I won't force you to get married. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married."
Gu Shi didn't know why he was so awkwardly asking her to reconcile with him. Shouldn't she have taken the initiative to be intimate with him?
Lingchuan shook his head.
"I'm going to get married sooner or later, so how can I stay in the palace?"
Gu Shi's expression changed, he grabbed her hand roughly and dragged her into the house.
"Lingchuan, why are you still pretending at this point?"
It turned out that she was not frightened, but was deliberately leaving him alone to make him feel uncomfortable and anxious about her, so that she could take advantage of his helplessness to control him.
He was angry but had to admit that Lingchuan succeeded.
He wanted to kiss her like before, but she tilted her head and dodged.
"Lingchuan, what do you want from me?"
He suddenly felt that Lingchuan would definitely beg him to marry her with tears in her eyes. As long as she softened her attitude and begged him sincerely, he might be able to fulfill her wish.
But she lowered her head and whispered,
"I'm sorry, I accidentally delayed your wedding. It was Zhen Fei who invited me to go on a boat trip that day, and I acted impulsively and embarrassed the prince."
She lowered her head and didn't look into his eyes, as if she really regretted it.
Gu Shi was immediately furious and she wanted to tie a chain around his neck to force him to bow to her.
"Take off your clothes."
He just said this coldly. He knew that arranging a marriage for Lingchuan hurt her heart, but there was no way he would take the initiative to bow to Lingchuan.
She looked up as if in surprise, and looked at him like an innocent little deer.
"Acting like you don't know anything."
He lost his patience and pushed her down on the bed.
Lingchuan was staring somewhere else, unwilling to lift his eyelids to look at him.
He couldn't stand her pretending to be like a dead fish, so he began to try to please her obsessively and skillfully.
He was very good at this, but he failed today. No matter what tricks he used, Lingchuan couldn't muster the energy.
"What's wrong with you today? Don't you usually like it?"
He asked softly in her ear,
"Did I find the wrong spot?"
Lingchuan just watched his hands opening and closing with the pleasure of his body.
She seemed to be separated from her body and soul. Her body reacted as usual, but her soul had drifted far away.
He tortured her obsessively for more than an hour, but Lingchuan neither asked for anything nor begged for mercy.
She endured it all passively like a lifeless doll.
Gu Shi felt a sense of fear.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he actually liked her extreme side.
Although he would feel annoyed by her constant making trouble, he would also feel a sense of joy besides his annoyance.
It's a feeling of being loved for sure.
He deliberately pushed her to the limit and watched her go crazy. Only by repeating this cycle over and over again could he secretly taste the sweetness of being loved from her madness.
When Lingchuan rushed onto the boat and went crazy in front of everyone, he was actually vaguely expecting her to kiss him ridiculously in front of everyone and announce their ridiculous relationship to the world.
In that case, he simply pushed her a little harder.
"Lingchuan, you've seen it today. The current emperor is like that... I'm afraid he won't live long. When that happens, the general will be the biggest threat to the royal family. I must marry his daughter in advance so that I can control the general's power."
He stroked her hair and sighed.
"I shouldn't have said these things to you...but for the greater good, sacrifices are inevitable, and you should be more sensible."
After saying that, he began to look forward to Lingchuan's reaction.
The teacup was right next to her, and she could easily have splashed it in his face as usual, rushing over with the broken pieces of the cup in one bloody hand to cut his throat.
She could also cry and make a fuss, tearfully accusing him of how he had let her down.
But she didn't do that, she just whispered,
"Since this is a matter of state, Your Highness should prioritize the overall situation and strive for it a little longer."
He held her wrist tightly to ease her anxiety.
"Lingchuan, I will really marry Yang Ruoyun."
He repeated it, waiting for her to ask him to stay.
He even expected Lingchuan to use some more crazy means to destroy his reputation and make him completely belong to her.
But Lingchuan just nodded.
"Um."
Gu Shi felt like he had punched cotton, and his heart was empty and frustrated.
Since she deliberately ignored him, there was no way he would go along with her wishes.
"I will go and discuss my marriage with Yang Ruoyun with the general in the next few days. I will not return to the palace."
Lingchuan didn't care where Gu Shi was going, he just walked away silently.
Since Gu Shi was determined to get married no matter what, it didn't make much difference to her who she married.
Since the prince was away these days, Jinzhan became absent-minded and started yawning and being lazy.
"Good girl, let's cover for each other. I'm going home to see my brother. Don't tell the prince, and don't let anything happen... Even if something happens, just don't let the prince know."
In fact, Jinzhan was already past the age of a "maid", but she felt that others calling her aunt made her sound old, so she always called herself a maid.
As soon as Jinzhan left, Lingchuan began to feel uneasy. She couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go see Qin Sizhao.
She was a woman with strong and straightforward emotions. Once she had a crush on someone, she couldn't hide it for a moment. She wanted to rush to his door and ask him what he was thinking no matter what.
She put on a veil, used some silver to find out where Qin Sizhao lived, then called a car and hurried there.
Qin Sizhao's door was deserted, with only a servant standing there.
"Is this Qin Sizhao's residence?"
Lingchuan hurriedly took off her veil, and the servant was startled by her beauty.
"Miss... I remember you. You are the girl on the boat that day. My master has been waiting for you for a long time and specifically asked me to let you in."
She blushed, put on her veil again, and said hesitantly,
"Yes, that's me. My name is Lingchuan."
She thought that he must know nothing and was waiting for her just because she looked good and he foolishly thought she was a good girl.
If he knew about the dirty deeds between him and Gu Shi, he would look down on her just like Zhen Fei did.
Hearing that Qin Sizhao had been waiting for her, she became timid again and didn't dare to go in. She thought that instead of waiting to be looked down upon, it would be better for her to leave first.
"Please come in..."
Unable to resist the boy's enthusiasm, Lingchuan entered Qin Sizhao's residence like a willow catkin blown into the door by the wind, but suddenly heard an angry female voice,
"Hmph, you just won the top spot in the imperial examination. How can you be unworthy of the general's daughter? Besides, I thought you were not a vulgar person, but you kept talking about your family background. Such vulgarity and cowardice made me look down on you for no reason. I'll give you one last chance. Within three months, you must come to the general's mansion to ask for my hand in marriage!"
That was Miss Yang Ruoyun's voice...
Her voice was louder than other girls', and it was a bit fierce, so it was very resounding.
After he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. Miss Yang Ruoyun had left in anger.
Lingchuan heard these words clearly, making her feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Yang Ruoyun actually has feelings for Qin Sizhao... and she expressed it so directly...
Lingchuan wanted to crawl into the ground immediately. If there was a sunny and generous girl like Yang Ruoyun who really liked her, who would want a girl like her who was unclear, crazy, and a little neurotic? She had made a wasted trip and was only bringing shame upon herself.
"I...I'd better leave..."
Fortunately, she was wearing a veil today, which hid her embarrassed look.
She shouldn't have expected anyone to truly marry her. She should leave quickly before Qin Sizhao discovered her.
"Hey, girl, but..."
"Don't stop me!"
Lingchuan was so angry that he shouted hysterically.
"Since Miss Lingchuan is already here, why would she leave?"
She didn't expect that the person who came to stop her was Qin Sizhao.
