"It was on the desk. I was bored while waiting for you, so I flipped through it." Xiao Junzhan let her take the book away. Seeing her embarrassed face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's my fault. I didn't consider that a girl is shy. I shouldn't have asked you directly after seeing it."

Wei Hanzhang simply couldn't stand his doting tone and covered her face with her hands, wishing she could strangle her former self to death.

How could she be so shameless? Look at what she wrote in this erotic storybook...

"Don't keep covering it, you'll be suffocating." Xiao Junzhan pulled her hand down, held her little head and kissed her, coaxing her in a low voice: "Ranran, be good, tell me what else is marked, and I'll try it with you one by one after we get married."

…

“!!!” Wei Hanzhang stared at him in disbelief. He didn’t expect this man to be so shameless.

Obviously, at the beginning, he would feel shy and embarrassed if he looked at her for a second longer.

How can you say this now...

Xiao Junzhan felt uncomfortable because of her stare. He coughed and changed the subject: "We have set the date for the wedding. It will be at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month."

This news was too sudden. Wei Hanzhang was shocked. He didn't even care about being embarrassed and angry. He looked at him with some suspicion, "Didn't you say the wedding would be next year? How come it's so soon?"

"This is a good day that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated after more than a month. It has been set after my father personally approved it." Xiao Junzhan took her hand and sighed slightly: "It will take more than three months at most. How can it be fast?"

He wished he could bring her back to the palace today. The two of them were used to being close to each other day and night in the temporary palace, and he didn't want to be separated after returning to the capital.

Wei Hanzhang's face was filled with unhappiness: "I just returned to my parents at the beginning of the year. I haven't even spent a New Year's Eve with them yet, and I have to marry into the palace..."

Xiao Junzhan patted her little head and laughed, "If it's just because of this, then on New Year's Eve, Ranran will hold a banquet in the palace and invite them to the palace to stay up together, okay?"

Of course not!

Wei Hanzhang lowered her head, trying hard to hold back her tears. She was only fifteen years old, just coming of age, and the wedding date had already been set.

She couldn't bear to leave Jiang, her grandparents, and all her relatives.

After she married into the palace and became a member of the royal family, it would be difficult for her to get close to them.

She lowered her head for too long, so long that Xiao Junzhan couldn't help but pinch her chin and lift it up. Seeing that the girl's eyelids were red, he said helplessly: "... Are you so unwilling to marry me?"

"I was too young... I couldn't bear to leave my family..." Wei Hanzhang didn't look at him, lowered his eyelashes to avoid his sight, "You said at the time that you would wait for me slowly and not force me."

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan also remembered what he had said to coax the girl, and was rarely able to respond.

He was speaking the truth at the time, but...

In the beginning, he was indeed trying to coax people with the intention of taking things slow, but at some point, his mentality had changed.

Just think of him as breaking his promise...

Sighing inwardly, Xiao Junzhan stroked her red eyes and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you and make sure you won't be wronged at all. After marriage, if Ranran misses her family, she can call them to stay in the palace for a while, or she can leave the palace at any time. It's up to you, okay?"

fraud!

At first he coaxed her, saying that she was still young and was afraid of marriage, and he would wait patiently.

Not long after, he said that he couldn't wait too long and the wedding would be next year.

Now it has suddenly been brought forward to December, leaving her unprepared.

Wei Hanzhang was furious and refused to believe him at all.

Xiao Junzhan coaxed her again and again, but seeing that the little girl's eyes were red but she didn't say a word, he finally had no choice but to lower his head and kiss her fiercely: "Who did you learn to ignore people from?"

He seemed annoyed, and the hand that was pinching her chin slightly exerted force: "Speak up! I just asked you to marry me a few months earlier, are you so wronged?"

Wei Hanzhang pried open his fingers, turned his head and said, "Your Highness, do you realize now that I have a bad temper?"

"She is indeed not good. She has a bad temper and ignores people all the time." Xiao Junzhan lowered his head and moved closer. Seeing her cold face and ignoring people, he said helplessly, "She has become more and more spoiled because of her favor."

As he said this, he shook his head in amusement, suddenly grasped the back of her neck, turned her face around, and kissed her on the lips.

Different from the quick kiss just now, he kissed her seriously and passionately.

He found the hand clenched tightly in her sleeve, separated her fingers one by one, gently pinched her palm which was covered with fingernail marks, squeezed in, interlocked their fingers, and then pushed her against the soft chair and kissed her.

In the empty room, the only sounds were the girl's sobbing and struggling, and the man's excited panting.

They kissed for an unknown amount of time. When Xiao Junzhan felt that his thirst had been quenched a little and let go of her, Wei Hanzhang was almost out of breath.

He lowered his dark eyes, looked at the girl in his arms who was still breathing hard, stroked her slightly swollen lips, and said with a smile: "Ranran is the most obedient only at this time."

…I should just stay in his arms and let him do whatever he wants.

Don't always think about distancing yourself from him, then he won't bully you too harshly.

Wei Hanzhang had no idea what he was thinking. She was really fed up with this man who wanted to kiss her at every turn. After finally catching her breath and regaining some strength, she pushed the man away, stood up, took several steps back, and glared at him angrily.

Xiao Junzhan leaned on the armrest of the soft chair, no longer looking dignified in front of others, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said, "Don't be angry with me, and don't use the words that we are not married yet to criticize me."

"..." Wei Hanzhang took a deep breath. Facing this man who was obviously addicted to hooliganism, he felt suffocated and speechless.

"Okay, I won't make trouble with you anymore." Xiao Junzhan sat up straight and waved at her, "Have you had dinner?"

Of course Wei Hanzhang ignored him.

Xiao Junzhan asked again, and waited patiently, but no one answered. The smile on his face finally faded slowly: "If you don't want to go back to the palace with me tonight, don't ignore me."

Wei Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat and he said angrily, "Why do you always force me? Can't I just not talk?"

"No!" Xiao Junzhan took a few steps forward and stared at her without a smile on his face. "When there is no more annoyance in your eyes when you look at me, I will stop forcing you."

"You know it's because of the Gu..."

"You can get rid of it. Try it, okay?" Xiao Junzhan held her face with his hands and interrupted her, "Try it, the insect can't affect your real senses. Try not to be affected by it and like me again, okay?"

"Get rid of it?" Wei Hanzhang frowned and said, "How can I get rid of it if you don't take out the sub-Gu for me?"

Xiao Junzhan said: "I can't take it out for now."

"Why can't it be taken out?" Wei Hanzhang was a little surprised: "Don't they say that as long as the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will die as well?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she instantly thought of Liu Wanning, the mother Gu in her body, and the list of Liu family members to be beheaded tomorrow posted at Caishikou.

She was slightly startled, and asked tentatively: "Will taking the mother Gu hurt Liu Wanning?"

"Yes!" Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "There is no way to remove the sub-Gu in your body for the time being. In addition to the method of removing the sub-Gu, there is another way..."

She wasn't so angry even when she was pressed down and kissed just now, but now she suddenly got angry, which made Xiao Junzhan's brows twitch slightly. For some reason, he stopped the words he wanted to coax her with.

He looked at her quietly for a while, then said, "What if I say yes?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hanzhang felt his heart shrink violently before his brain could react, and an uncontrollable feeling of stuffiness filled his chest.

She frowned uncomfortably, raised her eyes and asked him: "You don't want her to get hurt, do you like her too?"

"..." Xiao Junzhan fell silent, not knowing whether he should continue to test her against his will.

But in Wei Hanzhang's eyes, his silence was already the answer.

It started raining outside the window at some point, and the raindrops were hitting the open window. Wei Hanzhang turned his head to look when he heard the sound and suddenly felt completely depressed.

"Forget it, just follow your Highness's wishes. I'm hungry." She turned around and called the maid outside the door to serve the meal.

Xiao Junzhan was startled, then he held her shoulders and brought her back, saying solemnly, "No, I don't like her."

Wei Hanzhang said "oh" but didn't look at him. Instead, he said to Lu Lan who pushed the door open, "Put it in the side hall. There's more space there."

"Listen to me carefully!" Xiao Junzhan was really afraid that this girl would accuse him of something else, so he put his arm around her waist and whispered, "You alone are such a headache, how many more can I like?"

When they were together, they never liked to have anyone serving them. Lulan had never seen the prince using a soft voice to coax people, so she blushed when she heard that and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Junzhan ignored the noise around him and explained to the girl in his arms seriously: "The reason why we can't touch Liu Wanning is because..."

He paused and told the story of the fate-sharing Gu.

Wei Hanzhang just listened with his eyes downcast at first, but as he spoke, his pupils gradually dilated. Finally, he raised his head and said, "You mean, if Liu Wanning died, I would also..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Junzhan covered her lips and said, "You will be fine."

"..." The fear that flashed across his eyes was so obvious that it caused Wei Hanzhang's mood, which had just calmed down, to fluctuate inexplicably again.

She couldn't help but frown, wondering if she continued like this, she would suffer from heart disease at such a young age.

I don't understand why I always feel upset because of this person's words and actions.

Xiao Junzhan stretched out his hand to smooth her brows, and asked with a smile: "What were you thinking when you misunderstood that I liked someone else just now?"

...What are you thinking about? Wei Hanzhang said, "I'm thinking that it would be good if His Highness could transfer his feelings to someone else."

"Really?" Xiao Junzhan's smile paused, but he didn't show any anger. He was silent for a few breaths before saying, "If I really transfer my feelings to someone else, you will be sad after the poison is cured."

This little girl liked him so much that she would mark down all the things she saw in erotic novels, thinking of trying it out with him in the future...

How sad she would be if he fell in love with someone else.

"Are you sad?" Wei Hanzhang did not comment: "Maybe."

As if she had thought of something, she tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "If one day you fall in love with someone else, can you let me go?"

"There is no if, I will only like Ranran." Xiao Junzhan's eyebrows moved slightly and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Wei Hanzhang took a deep breath and said, "Let's go wander around the world. Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, I want to go see the scenery of this world."

"That's easy. From now on, I will take Ranran with me wherever I go, whether it's for sightseeing or investigating a case, whether it's the misty Jiangnan or the desolate desert, as long as I go, I will definitely take you with me."

He said gently, "There are dangers even in times of peace. It's not convenient for a girl like you to move around alone."

Wei Hanzhang closed her eyes and endured it, but she couldn't stand his gentle and doting tone anymore, so she pushed him away and walked straight to the side hall.

Xiao Junzhan didn't understand and thought she was just very hungry, so he followed her patiently.

The two had dinner together and it was already dark.

The night after the rain even the moon disappeared, and the air was chilly.

Xiao Junzhan was holding someone in his arms, and he was reluctant to let go. He coaxed her softly, "Do you want to live with me in the palace for a while?"

Wei Hanzhang was already feeling a little uncomfortable smelling the familiar scent on him, and was really shocked when he heard that. He hurriedly said, "I don't want to."

He sighed regretfully and said, "I just returned to the capital, and there are some government affairs piled up. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the palace every day to see you in the near future."

Wei Hanzhang blinked, but before he could feel surprised, he heard him say, "So, Ranran, now think about how to coax me."

Somewhat doubting whether she had not heard clearly, she asked in a low voice: "I coax you?"

Xiao Junzhan hummed: "I can't bear to see you. I will be lovesick. Shouldn't Ranran coax me?"

Wei Hanzhang: “…”

She was shocked again. How could the handsome young man whose ears blushed from time to time become like this?

She didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Junzhan thought she couldn't think of a good solution, and he didn't want to embarrass her, so he said to himself: "How about this, Ranran writes a letter every day, and I send Ning Hai to pick it up?"

...No matter.

But compared to seeing each other every day, writing a letter seems nothing.

Thinking of this, she nodded in agreement.

For the next few days, Xiao Junzhan did not suddenly appear in her boudoir to wait for others.

Wei Hanzhang went to Jiang's house early in the morning every day and came back at night to write the letter to him the next day. He lived a very comfortable life.

That morning, after having breakfast as usual, she prepared to say goodbye to her mother before leaving the house.

As soon as she entered the Jiang family courtyard, Nanny Zhou came to greet her, "Young lady, you came at an unfortunate time. The wife of the prince just came over from the Marquis's residence and is now talking to the lady inside."

Wei Hanzhang paused. The elders were talking, and she didn't really want to join in the fun. She was just thinking about asking Madam Zhou to tell them when she heard Madam Jiang's voice from inside the room: "Is it Ranran who's here? Come in."

Madam Zhou smiled and helped her open the curtain, saying, "Young lady, please."

When Wei Hanzhang walked in, he saw Jiang sitting at the top, with his aunt Qian sitting beside her.

Although Jiang was somewhat angry about Qian's matchmaking for her nephew from her natal family, after all, they had been sisters-in-law for many years and their private relationship was still pretty good. Qian would often visit her to talk.
