"Since you say this is the only strange thing, it must have been her doing. Although she is the daughter of the Prime Minister, she has not been favored by the Prime Minister since childhood. Her life in the Prime Minister's mansion is not even as good as that of a maid. She must have developed dark and filthy thoughts because of her unhappy life. When she saw that you were made a princess and would become the future Crown Princess, she became jealous and wanted to harm you."
Jealousy? Jealous of what? Jealous of Ren Nuanyun?
Qu Qingxi was almost disgusted. It seemed that after spending some time together, the Crown Prince and Ren Nuanyun had become birds of a feather.
A toad commenting on humans! Utterly ridiculous!
The crown prince spoke dismissively, then comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you. I will find an opportunity to punish her properly."
"Your Highness, you are truly wise." Ren Nuanyun hugged the Crown Prince tightly around the waist, speaking with admiration, but a wicked smile curled at the corner of her mouth. Qu Qingxi, if the Crown Prince wants to make a move on you, let's see how you dodge it.
"Nuanyun, you are just too kind. In the future, you will be the Crown Princess and then the Empress. You must learn to be cautious and careful, and always protect yourself." The Crown Prince patted Ren Nuanyun on the back. He enjoyed being admired by the woman he loved, which made him feel very accomplished.
"Your Highness, what are you saying?" Ren Nuanyun said coquettishly, "Nuanyun is so silly, I still need Your Highness to protect me. As long as Your Highness is by my side, I am not afraid of anything."
"Okay, I promise you, I will protect you for the rest of my life. As long as I live, I will make sure you live a happy and fulfilling life."
The two lingered for a while longer before separating.
The prince gripped Ren Nuanyun's shoulders with both hands, staring at the beautiful woman before him, his mind wandering.
The Crown Prince couldn't help but kiss Ren Nuanyun's delicate lips, and sighed softly, "We can't get married until next March. I can't wait any longer."
Ren Nuanyun immediately blushed and dodged away, "Your Highness, how can you do this? We're not married yet."
The Crown Prince inexplicably felt a bit hot, and looking at Ren Nuanyun, who was dressed in slightly revealing clothes, his emotions deepened.
"You are my Crown Princess, and there is no one else here, so what are you afraid of?" The Crown Prince chuckled and subconsciously loosened his collar.
At the same time, Ren Nuanyun also sensed something was wrong. Her body felt hot, just like at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet that day. With the experience from last time, Ren Nuanyun quickly realized that she had probably been drugged with aphrodisiacs.
But how could she have aphrodisiacs when she and the prince were inside the ancestral hall with guards outside?
Looking at the Crown Prince again, the way he was being looked at was clearly different; the desire in the Crown Prince's eyes was growing stronger.
Ren Nuanyun was startled and quickly asked the system in her mind what was going on, whether she had been drugged with aphrodisiacs. The system checked and answered yes.
The system quickly removed the aphrodisiac from Ren Nuanyun, but since the Crown Prince was not its host, it could not remove the aphrodisiac from him.
"Is there an antidote? I need to exchange points for it." Ren Nuanyun hurriedly asked in her mind. She and the Crown Prince were not yet married, so they could not have a relationship. Even if they did have a relationship, it had to be in the Crown Prince's residence, not here.
[Host, exchanging for the antidote requires 50 points, but you currently only have 10 points, so you cannot exchange for it.] The system's mechanical voice sounded.
"Can't we just pay in advance?" Ren Nuanyun started to get anxious. She had accumulated a lot of points by completing tasks some time ago, but in order to win the favor of the Crown Prince and make him fall in love with her, she used all her points to exchange for a plan to control the flood.
Points cannot be accumulated on credit.
The system's words filled Ren Nuanyun with despair.
What should we do? What should we do?
Ren Nuanyun was hesitating when the Crown Prince had already reached his limit. He had been made Crown Prince from a young age, and his sexual skills had been trained early on to prevent him from being seduced by women in the future.
Although the Crown Prince does not yet have a Crown Princess, he has three concubines in his household. This number is already very small for the Crown Prince, and no one would say that he is indulging in lust, nor does he rarely restrain his desires.
During his trip to Linghe, he had completely fallen in love with Ren Nuanyun. He was unaware that he had been drugged with aphrodisiacs, and simply assumed that he liked Ren Nuanyun very much, which was why his body reacted when he was with her.
Furthermore, with the wedding still a long way off, and having returned to the capital, he and Ren Nuanyun wouldn't have many opportunities to see each other, so he naturally missed her terribly.
"Nuanyun, I want you." The Crown Prince wrapped his arms around Ren Nuanyun's waist and kissed her.
Ren Nuanyun struggled for a moment, then spoke, "Your Highness, wait a moment, this won't do. What if someone comes in?"
"Don't worry, Nuanyun, I've got people guarding outside, no one will come in."
Since the Crown Prince had said so, and Ren Nuanyun liked him very much, she didn't refuse anymore. Anyway, she was already destined to be the Crown Princess, so it wouldn't matter if something happened between her and the Crown Prince.
With that in mind, Ren Nuanyun let the Crown Prince go his own way.
The two guards outside the ancestral hall soon heard the sounds coming from inside. They exchanged a glance, feeling very strange. This was the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Dingguo, the Ren family. They never expected that the Crown Prince and Princess Mingxiu would choose to do such a thing here.
Is this really okay? The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent; how can he be so unruly?
And this Princess Mingxiu, in front of the ancestral tablets, she still behaves like this. Isn't she afraid that the Ren family ancestors will blame her?
The two guards thought this, but dared not say anything. They were just lowly guards, and the Crown Prince's actions were beyond their control.
Perhaps the prince finds it more exciting here, the guard thought.
Ren Nuanyun didn't care about any of that. Anyway, she wasn't a real member of the Ren family. Besides, they were just some wooden plaques, so she wasn't afraid of anything.
Seeing that the act had already begun inside, Qu Qingxi clasped her hands together and silently uttered a word of apology.
The patriarch of the Ren family, this matter cannot be blamed on her. She only provided the spark; the Crown Prince and Ren Nuanyun were the ones who lit the fire and provided the wood, which was their own choice. If anyone is to blame, it is only them.
After muttering to herself, Qu Qingxi turned and left. She had inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Crown Prince's physique and was surprised that a young man in his early twenties already had a beer belly. Although it wasn't very serious, it was quite unsightly.
He doesn't even have abs. Seriously, he can't even compare to He Liufeng's one finger. To be fair, He Liufeng has a really good physique.
Seeing Ren Nuanyun's expression of enjoyment, Qu Qingxi could only say, "Ren Nuanyun, can't you eat something better?"
Judging that it was about time, Qu Qingxi headed straight for the front yard.
Dressed in night clothes and with her face covered, she went directly to the study of the Marquis of Dingguo, which was closest to the ancestral hall.
Perhaps because of the incident where she "stole" from the treasury last time, there wasn't anything valuable in the study. The only decent-looking items were the two half-person-high vases in front of the desk.
