She walked forward slowly, looking down at Chu Hong: "Wasn't it you who kidnapped me to Youzhou? What are you doing now? Are you pretending to be a brother and sister?"
Chu Hong's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Royal sister, don't you believe me?"
He looked up at Chu Qingluan, his eyes full of sincerity: "Whether you believe it or not, I have never had the intention to harm you. This is all because of Qi Che's wolfish ambitions and his unauthorized actions.
Don't worry, my sister. When I catch him, I will cut him into pieces and avenge you!"
Chu Qingluan sneered, and her face became even colder under the moonlight.
"I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to be more talkative than before."
She walked slowly around Chu Hong, "Then why do you come to Yongcheng this time?"
Chu Hong's expression froze: "Of course, I am following my father's order to welcome the King of the Western Regions to the capital..."

"But sister, have you ever thought about this? Everything I do is for the eternal stability of the Chu State."
His voice suddenly turned cold. "My father is old and confused. The aristocratic families in the court are intertwined. The barbarians on the border are eyeing us covetously. Doesn't this kind of court need an iron-fisted king?"
Chu Qingluan was so shocked by his confusing remarks that she forgot what to say for a moment.
Chu Hong took the opportunity to grab her sleeve with an earnest attitude.
"Please join forces with me, sister." Chu Hong raised his head, his eyes flashing with a morbid fanaticism.
"When I ascend the throne, you will be the most honorable princess in the world, and I will share the responsibility of government and military affairs with you!"
