After returning to his room, Ye Chengping smashed a teacup.
"You bitch!"
"You're clearly a slut, yet you pretend to be a pure and virtuous woman in front of me! You've slept with a bunch of men, but you won't let me touch you!"
"You're just trying to whet my appetite! If it weren't for her looks, I wouldn't even bother touching her!"
Ye Chengping said angrily.
Beside him stood an elderly man nearing sixty, with white hair and beard, a thin build, and an air of otherworldly grace.
"Your Highness, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. She is just a woman, and she will be yours sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I just feel resentful! Why can a playboy like Zheng Yi toy with Qiao Zixian, but I can't?! Am I supposed to pick up someone else's discarded shoes?!"
Ye Chengping said with a face full of resentment.
In fact, he genuinely liked Qiao Zixian when they first met.
Qiao Zixian was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. From the first moment he saw her, he was deeply attracted to her.
He dared not overstep his bounds, for fear of offending the beauty.
But gradually, he realized that Qiao Zixian was not a virtuous woman at all, but a harlot who sold her body for power!
He also knew that Qiao Zixian was only approaching him to use him.
However, when it comes to putting on an act, he is in no way inferior to Qiao Zixian. He wants to see what Qiao Zixian is really after!
Anyway, he has no title or official position, so he has plenty of time to play with Qiao Zixian.
He wanted to make Qiao Zixian think he was the man who loved her the most in the world, and then, when Qiao Zixian fell in love with him, he would play with her and then abandon her!
Unexpectedly, his feigned affection brought him a pleasant surprise.
Qiao Zixian is actually Qiao Xiuyuan's illegitimate daughter, and Qiao Xiuyuan actually plotted to have Bai Mengying kill his cousin, Prince Jing, so that he could become the new Prince Jing!
So he treated Qiao Zixian even better, and acted as if he couldn't live without her.
He wanted to see if Qiao Zixian would bring him any other surprises.
I can't believe it actually exists!
Qiao Xiuyuan actually wanted him to sit on the throne of the Qi Kingdom!
From a young age, he had to obey his older cousin, and he was always the one who got beaten, scolded, and punished when something happened.
It's all because his cousin is the heir of Prince Jing, while he is just a good-for-nothing who can't get a title!
He had already accepted his life and could see his future laid out before him.
He could live a life of comfort and wealth, but he would never achieve anything significant or be admired by others.
Unexpectedly, he not only became a prince, but also had the opportunity to become the emperor of Qi. He did not want to refuse such an opportunity, nor would he refuse it!
Of course, he knew all of this because Qiao Xiuyuan had misunderstood his infatuation with Qiao Zixian.
After all, no one would do something for someone else for nothing, and Qiao Xiuyuan only thought he was a puppet who was willing to be controlled by love.
That's why he played along and acted all affectionate towards Qiao Zixian.
Knowing something is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears is quite another.
Watching Zheng Yi grope Qiao Zixian, and hearing Zheng Yi vaguely mention what he did with Qiao Zixian in bed.
The pent-up frustration and anger he had been holding in were gradually revealed.
That's why he longs for Qiao Zixian so much today.
But Qiao Zixian still pushed him away!
The old man stroked his beard, his peaceful face revealing extremely malicious words.
"Since Qiao Zixian only responds to force and not persuasion, if Your Highness really wants to, you might as well use force directly. Find a group of people to wear masks, and Your Highness can arrange them to be whatever number you want."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chengping murmured, "Wear a mask?"
His eyes immediately lit up with excitement, "Great idea!"
"I've figured out how to kill that bastard Zheng Yi! And I'll use this to make Qiao Zixian even more dependent on me, so she can't live without me!"
The old man didn't say anything more, but simply curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
On the other side, after Ye Zeyu finished looking at the map of the guards of the Prince Jing's Mansion drawn by Xiao Ce, he lit it with a candle and burned it to ashes.
"Master, are you really that trusting of Qiao Zixian? Aren't you afraid that Qiao Zixian will tell Ye Chengping everything?"
Xiao Ce said with concern.
But Ye Ziyu said in a deep voice, "Even if I told him, what good would it do? Would he just kill me right here in the Jingwang Mansion? Ye Chengping would only let me die at the hands of the Heavenly Immortal Sect. Besides, in my opinion, Qiao Zixian should see through Ye Chengping's true colors tonight and act according to our plan."
"Why is Master so sure?" Xiao Ce still couldn't understand.
Ye Zeyu carefully examined the purse at his waist, and patiently explained to Xiao Ce, "Although I don't understand women, I do know what it's like to truly like a woman."
If Ye Chengping truly loved Qiao Zixian, he would never have allowed her to be with other men!
If we say that Ye Chengping is a coward and the man with Qiao Zixian is someone he can't afford to offend, that might make sense.
But Ye Chengping was a prince, and even before he became Prince Jing, he was a figure that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend in Ganzhou.
How could someone like that allow the woman he likes to seduce other men like a prostitute?
Moreover, you saw Chengping's performance tonight. He was calm and composed, as if he didn't know Qiao Zixian. He only reacted after being provoked by Zheng Yi at the banquet.
That reaction wasn't out of affection for Qiao Zixian or out of reluctance to see her humiliated, but rather out of resentment.
It was only because Qiao Zixian had been intimate with countless men, yet she kept her distance from him alone.
If you were Ye Chengping, what would you think?
Xiao Ce carefully considered what Ye Zeyu had said and gradually realized what was going on.
But then another thing came to mind.
"I never expected that someone as shrewd as Qiao Xiuyuan would be used by Ye Chengping! He really is a case of 'the hunter gets pecked in the eye by the hunted'!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Zeyu said, "Who said that Qiao Xiuyuan was used by Ye Chengping?"
Qiao Xiuyuan had been using Ye Chengping all along. He was just afraid that Ye Chengping would not obey, so he created a false impression for Ye Chengping, making Ye Chengping think that the one being used was Qiao Xiuyuan himself.
It seems Qiao Xiuyuan had long seen through Ye Chengping's arrogance, which is why he chose Ye Chengping as a pawn.
