Zhou Wenli liked this kind of person very much because he was that kind of person, and he and Qu Qingxi were the same kind of people.
If Qu Qingxi could become his person and the two of them could cooperate, then the Third Prince would be even less of a threat. It's just a pity that Qu Qingxi is already He Liufeng's person.
If he had discovered Qu Qingxi earlier, would the outcome have been different?
However, it's not too late now. As long as Die Feng is rescued, everything will be alright. He knows that Die Feng carries a kind of Gu worm that can control the person infected with the Gu worm after it enters the human body, making them obey the arrangements of the person who cast the Gu worm.
At worst, he could search for the legendary love potion. In that case, Qu Qingxi would not only be willing to follow his arrangements and wholeheartedly consider his needs, but she would also fall in love with him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenli narrowed his eyes. Perhaps, the love potion was the best thing.
If Qu Qingxi is truly under the influence of the love potion, and I then ask her to deal with He Liufeng, He Liufeng will likely suffer a fate worse than death.
That would be even more perfect; the greatest punishment for He Liufeng would be for the person he loves to kill him.
Because Zhou Wenli was preparing to return, the matter would have been considered closed once the Emperor read out the return gifts prepared by Lingchao in front of everyone at yesterday's banquet and mentioned the marriage alliance.
Finally, when Zhou Wenli was leaving, they saw him off one last time, and that would have been the end of the matter. Who knew that something like this would happen?
It would have been fine if someone else had been injured, but the one who was injured was Zhou Wenli, the one who was least likely to be injured.
The Emperor dared not be negligent in the slightest, knowing that Zhou Wenli might not use the imperial physicians from his own palace, so the Emperor simply arranged for a few imperial physicians to go through the formalities.
However, he had indeed sent quite a lot of good medicine, and now all he wanted to do was get rid of Zhou Wenli.
Meanwhile, ever since he saw the wound on Zhou Wenli's chest, the Emperor had already arranged for people to secretly investigate the matter. He wanted to know whether Zhou Wenli was the one who broke into the prison that night.
I also want to know what the relationship is between Zhou Wenli and Xu Xingfeng, and whether Zhou Wenli is related to the Xu family.
He absolutely forbade his subjects to have any contact with people from other countries!
If the Xu family dares to commit such a treasonous act, he will absolutely not let them off easily!
The Xu family are supporters of the Crown Prince and hope that this matter has nothing to do with him, and also hope that the Crown Prince will not do anything to disappoint them.
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of his bedchamber, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
Although the snow had long since melted, the temperature outside was unusually low, especially at night, in the dead of winter. The Emperor looked up at the moon in the sky, while the others had been dismissed by Lai Fu.
The Emperor stood there, his back view appearing exceptionally lonely. Lai Fu turned back to fetch a cloak, gently draped it over the Emperor, and softly advised, "Your Majesty, it is late at night, you should go back and rest."
The Emperor nodded slightly, but did not move. Lai Fu dared not speak and simply stood quietly behind the Emperor, keeping him company.
The Emperor was preoccupied with the Crown Prince's affairs, while the Crown Prince himself was filled with worries in his residence.
Tonight at the palace banquet, for some reason, he felt inexplicably irritable. Ren Nuanyun had clearly promised him that she would take action today, but in the end, she didn't, wasting a great opportunity.
He couldn't wait any longer. If he didn't get into trouble with Xu Yingying soon, he would have to marry her as his principal wife. In that case, Ren Nuanyun would only be the Crown Prince's concubine.
Ren Nuanyun clearly didn't want this to happen, so why didn't she take action today?
Moreover, Xu Yanyan's wrist was cut today. Seeing Xu Yanyan's pale and haggard appearance, the Crown Prince's heart couldn't help but stir up a ripple.
He recalled the first time he saw Ren Nuanyun; she had such a cold and aloof demeanor, clearly delicate yet pretending to be strong.
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince of Zhou suddenly proposed to marry Xu Yanyan, would I be in this situation now?
It was all because Xu Yanyan was too stubborn and old-fashioned. At that time, he had clearly promised that as long as Xu Yanyan consummated her marriage with him and the eldest prince of Zhou saw it, she would not have to travel all the way to Zhou for a marriage alliance.
He also blamed himself. If he had forced Xu Yanyan back then, things might have turned out differently. In that case, he would have married Xu Yanyan and gained the support of the Xu family. Why would he be betrayed by the Xu family now and not even have a strong supporter?
Before, Ren Nuanyun was very considerate and would take the initiative to help her with difficult situations. Now, she doesn't know why she has become different from before, and she is slow and hesitant to do anything.
He had already promised that even if something happened between him and Xu Yingying, he would not dote on Xu Yingying after she entered the family. Could it be that Ren Nuanyun chose not to take action because she did not trust him?
The Crown Prince felt his mind was in complete chaos. To be honest, he still loved Ren Nuanyun, but he would never give up on the Xu family.
If Xu Yanyan hadn't already been betrothed, he would have wanted to marry her. With a beautiful wife and concubine, and the support of the Xu family, wouldn't that be wonderful?
The Xu family matter can't be delayed any longer; he has to take action. The Crown Prince even regretted entrusting this matter to Ren Nuanyun. If he had arranged for someone else to handle it himself, perhaps things would have been settled by now.
After some thought, the Crown Prince decided to go find Ren Nuanyun. He wanted to know why she hadn't taken action today. What had happened that had delayed her?
When the Crown Prince arrived, Ren Nuanyun was taking a bath in the tub. She was scrubbing her body vigorously, as if she wanted to peel off a layer of skin.
If it weren't for the system, she would probably be in jail by now.
No one else will know what happened today, but she, the person involved, remembers it clearly.
She was drugged with aphrodisiacs and had relations with Zhou Wenli in the palace, exposing her body to so many people. Although Ren Nuanyun considered herself open-minded, she could never imagine herself being the protagonist in an erotic painting, performing for others on the spot.
Even though Zhou Wenli was quite good-looking, no less so than the Crown Prince, Ren Nuanyun only loved the Crown Prince. She only wanted to be the Crown Princess and help the Crown Prince achieve his great ambition.
She thought a lot and couldn't understand why she had gotten into trouble back then. Things shouldn't have turned out that way. Now that she had used the time reversal opportunity, even if she wanted to investigate, she couldn't find anything.
Ren Nuanyun didn't even know who wanted to harm her.
Thinking of this, Ren Nuanyun threw the soft cloth she had used to wipe her body hard on the ground. Chunyi heard the noise inside but didn't dare to speak. She didn't know why Ren Nuanyun wanted to take a bath as soon as she got back.
