Shi Wuqing felt a little uneasy. She asked the system cautiously, "He, he wouldn't... really be seduced by me, right?"
The system was silent for a long time before it said, "Believe it or not, if you do what you just did to the Third Prince, he will immediately regret it and keep you by his side."
Shi Wuqing was stunned. "I just poured a few glasses of wine for the Fifth Prince, and placed my hand on his through my sleeve... There wasn't even any physical contact!"
"That's enough." The system said calmly, "Host, haven't you noticed that you haven't seen the Third Prince once in the past few months? What do you think is the reason why he is avoiding you like this?"
"...You can't be afraid of being deceived by me, right?"
The system smiled politely: "You guessed it right."
“…” The fog cleared.
The system continued politely: "I am really a little jealous of the Fifth Prince."
"?" Shi Wuqing: "System, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
System: My wife sits next to someone else and feeds him alcohol. She can't sober up at all =)
…
Soon, the banquet came to an end.
The Third Prince asked, "Fifth Brother, what do you think of this dancer? Do you like her?"
Rong Lan said with a smile: "Not bad."
"Then Fifth Brother, do you want to ask the Emperor for her?"
The Third Prince said with a chuckle, "If you'd asked, I would have given it to you. However, a few days ago, the Helian family's son told me that he's been wanting to take over the unworthy position in Xiyang... Fifth Brother, could you please make it easier for me?"
Rong Lan just smiled and said nothing.
The Helian family is subordinate to the Third Prince's power, and the position proposed by the Third Prince is also related to a very important power. He openly made a huge request.
"What? Fifth brother doesn't want to?" The third prince's smile faded a little.
Rong Lan said calmly, "Third brother, I have already promised that position to someone else."
The Third Prince smiled faintly: "Is that so?"
He pointed at Shi Wuqing and said, "Come here."
Rong Lan watched calmly without stopping him.
Shi Wuqing walked over, but before she could stand firm, the third prince grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Royal brother, you must think carefully. If you miss such a beauty, you will lose her forever."
"Just a beauty." Rong Lan smiled faintly.
The Third Prince was not surprised by this. He asked for a position that Rong Lan would never give him. He didn't really want it in the first place. He was just looking for an excuse to prevent Rong Lan from taking the person away.
By the way, his use was exposed in public so that Rong Lan wouldn't think of other things.
"Since fifth brother doesn't like him, then just kill him." The third prince's expression suddenly became fierce.
Rong Lan stood up and said, "My royal brother will take his leave first."
The third prince paused and looked at him deeply.
Rong Lan walked straight out.
The Third Prince looked at his back and his tone returned to normal: "Forget it, let's keep her for a while for Fifth Brother. If Fifth Brother regrets it one day, he can come to Third Brother... However, if Fifth Brother is interested, he must come early, otherwise, haha..."
Rong Lan did not react to this.
After he left the hall, the guards around him couldn't help but sneer, "Your Highness, he can't defeat Your Highness, is he crazy? How dare he use a mere dancer to challenge Your Highness's power!"
Rong Lan still smiled calmly, as if nothing could move him.
However, only he knew that he had indeed fallen into the trap.
This time, the third brother, who has always been a good-for-nothing, used a good trick.
Perhaps the dancer herself didn't know that she had never gained the trust of the third prince.
From the moment she fell uncontrollably while dancing, Rong Lan saw through the strategy of this plot - to let Song Qingqing use the beauty trap, but at the same time, to ensure Song Qingqing's own "purity".
In other words, Song Qingqing is innocent and she is just one of the people being exploited.
She was dancing here because the Third Prince forced her to do so.
She fell down suddenly because of something the Third Prince had done.
Her immature temptation, which was not even seductive, was deliberately allowed by the Third Prince.
From beginning to end, the fault was all the Third Prince's.
Therefore, even if Rong Lan saw through this conspiracy against him, it would be difficult for him to feel disgusted with Song Qingqing.
This is an open conspiracy!
The third prince knew that he would be able to see through it, so he cleared Song Qingqing out of the way and let a pure white soul seduce him!
Furthermore... that soul was suffering visibly—a cold body temperature, trembling with fear, and its life and death being controlled...
Rong Lan slowly clenched his fingers.
