Chapter 361 Scam
When Qiu Sheng woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in his bedroom.
He sat up despite the headache and tried hard to recall.
He remembered that he was drinking alone in a restaurant outside, and then he ran into the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao. They went to drink together, and Concubine Xiao talked to him a lot...
Qiu Sheng gradually remembered the content of his conversation with Concubine Xiao and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He actually told the secret between him and Rongji!
If Concubine Xiao were to spread this, my father would definitely be furious!
The maid came in and asked him if he wanted something to eat.
Qiu Sheng no longer had the appetite to eat. He threw back the quilt and sat up, wanting to run out, but then he found himself reeking of alcohol and he really couldn't face anyone like this.
So he asked his maid to help him find a set of clean clothes.
He changed his clothes, washed his face, and then hurried out.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Rongji on the road.
Rongji grabbed his arm, stared at him and asked, "How have you thought about it?"
Rong Ji was worthy of being the favorite concubine of Prince Chenliu. She was as beautiful as a flower, especially her snow-white skin, which was even whiter than the snow outside. Her skin could be described as white as cream. Even without makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful.
However, Qiu Sheng had no intention of appreciating her beauty.
At this moment, in his eyes, the beauty in front of him was like a colorful poisonous snake, and he was the prey targeted by the snake.
It seemed that if he made the slightest movement, the poisonous snake would pounce on him and bite him.
Qiu Sheng was a little afraid of her, and whispered, "I need to think about it again."
Rongji stepped forward and pressed, "Are you trying to stall for time? You want to delay until the prince dies, and then I will be forced to be buried with him. Then you don't have to do anything and you can get rid of me, this burden, right?"
Qiu Sheng avoided his gaze and didn't dare to meet his gaze.
"I don't think so, but I do have some concerns."
Rong Ji asked: "What else do you worry about?"
"After all, you are my father's favorite concubine. If I marry you, how will others view us?"
Rongji pursed her red lips and suddenly reached out to hug him: "I don't care what others think."
Qiu Sheng was startled and quickly pushed her out.
This is the royal palace, and people may pass by at any time. If someone sees the two of them hugging each other, he will never be able to clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
"You don't care what others think, but I do!"
Rongji was pushed back two steps by him.
She showed a hurt expression: "I have already given my body to you, and you still say such things, do you have any conscience?"
Qiu Sheng said with a headache: "I was drunk at that time and I don't remember what happened at all."
"If you don't remember, I can tell you the whole thing again. You were on top of me, tearing off my clothes piece by piece, and... "
Qiu Sheng interrupted her: "Please stop talking, okay? I don't remember anything you said! I don't want to remember it anymore!"
Rongji looked at him with red eyes: "If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have let you marry me. I really don't want to die!"
Qiu Sheng didn't say anything.
Although he sympathized with Rongji's situation, it didn't mean that he had to sacrifice himself for her.
He is not yet that great.
Rongji reached out to hug him again, but he dodged her.
Qiu Sheng said, "We'll talk about our affairs later. I have other things to do now. Goodbye."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
Rongji called him twice but failed to stop him and could only watch him run away.
…
It was already evening and the sky was getting dark.
Xiao Xixi ate until her belly was full, and she returned to the palace with the prince.
Before I could even sit down, I was told that Qiu Sheng was here.
Luo Qinghan obviously guessed why the other party came, and said calmly: "Let him in."
After a moment, Qiu Sheng walked in.
He bowed to the prince.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan motioned for him to sit down and talk.
Qiu Sheng knelt on the cushion, his body stretched tightly, and his voice was a little weak.
"Today in the restaurant, I got drunk and said some nonsense. I hope Your Highness and Your Majesty will not take it seriously."
Xiao Xixi was rubbing her belly because she was too full, to help digest the food as quickly as possible.
When she heard Qiu Sheng's words, she couldn't help but look up at him.
"Are you saying that what happened between you and Young-hee isn't true?"
Qiu Sheng avoided her gaze guiltily and whispered, "Well, those were all nonsense I made up."
Xiao Xixi: "Actually, we didn't take it seriously."
Qiu Sheng was delighted when he heard this: "It's good that you didn't take it seriously."
Xiao Xixi suddenly changed the subject and asked out of the blue, "Do you know what a honey trap is?"
Qiu Sheng shook his head: "I don't know."
"Honey trap is a scam that usually uses sex as bait to lure people in. The scammers will pretend to have an improper relationship with the victim, and then use this as an excuse to blackmail the victim and obtain a large amount of money or property."
As Qiu Sheng listened, he couldn't help but think of what happened between him and Rong Ji.
He was drunk at the time and had no idea how Rong Ji got to his bed, nor did he remember what happened between him and Rong Ji.
Everything was narrated by Rongji alone.
She used this as a threat to force him to marry her.
This process is exactly the same as a honey trap!
Qiu Sheng thought that with Rong Ji's courage and scheming, she could indeed do such a thing.
Xiao Xixi: "Do you know how we usually deal with honey traps?"
Qiu Sheng couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"
"Report to the police."
Qiu Sheng was stunned. He thought he had heard wrongly and couldn't help asking again: "What do you want to report?"
Xiao Xixi: "Of course I'll report it to the police. Although doing so may be embarrassing, it can fundamentally solve the hidden dangers and is a good way to solve the problem once and for all."
Qiu Sheng was hesitant.
He was not only afraid of losing face, but also afraid of angering his father.
My father is so seriously ill now, he must not be stimulated again.
Luo Qinghan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"If Rongji dared to set a trap for you, she must have been prepared in advance. Maybe she has other accomplices."
Qiu Sheng was shocked: "She has an accomplice?"
Luo Qinghan: "If she didn't have an accomplice to help her, how could she have easily entered your room? And she just happened to appear when you were drunk. Such a coincidence, it's clear that someone was working with her from the inside and outside."
Qiu Sheng: "I have checked all the people serving me, and found nothing unusual."
"That only means that the other party's rank is higher than yours. You can't find out even if you want to."
Qiu Sheng's face gradually became ugly.
Luo Qinghan: "There is no reliable person around you. You only have two choices now. Either accept the threat and become a pawn in the hands of others, or fight back and make things worse so that the other party can't end it."
