The next day, at the crack of dawn, the Southern King, dressed in a black python robe, followed his subordinates down to the dungeon.
Looking up, Li Chengyan's eyes were closed, and his body was bound by several iron chains as thick as an arm.
That day, he went out to buy medicine and returned. Before he could receive the news, he had just stepped into the courtyard when he fell into the trap set by the Southern King.
Li Chengyan pushed open the door and entered. A powerful sedative instantly entered his nostrils. Although he immediately covered his mouth and nose, he was ultimately unable to resist the most potent sedative in the world.
Staggering, Li Chengyan killed three or five of the Southern King's men before collapsing instantly.
The sleeping potion was indeed very potent. Li Chengyan's consciousness was still in a state of confusion, and he could only vaguely hear the sound of iron chains clanging.
He frowned, then slowly opened his eyes, and in a daze, his gaze met that of the Southern King, who was wearing a python robe.
"woke up?"
The Prince of the South's voice remained gentle.
He originally thought he would rescue Chu Mo on his way to Wei in a few days and bring him back to his fiefdom, but he never expected to receive news the next day that Chu Mo had been imprisoned.
The King of Chu declared that he would tear Chu Mo apart with five horses in three days. How could he sit still? The reason he kidnapped Li Chengyan was simply to use Li Chengyan to threaten Chongning into doing things for him.
Although the King of Chu's fate was sealed, the King of the South did not want to see his country swallowed up by the Great Qi. He still wanted to hold onto the land and remain the supreme ruler.
There was another reason, which concerned Ning Yin. In fact, after meeting Ning Yin for the first time, he had already guessed that Ning Yin's identity was not simple, so he secretly investigated Ning Yin's background.
However, he discovered a huge secret: Ning Yin was actually the Crown Princess of Da Qi, and Xiao Xuan's Achilles' heel.
That night, he intended to take Ning Yin with him during the chaos, but who would have thought that the Imperial Guards would discover the thief so quickly? So many Imperial Guards surrounded the Jade Pavilion that he had no way to make a move.
Therefore, the Prince of Nan had no choice but to take his mother away first.
To his surprise, Ning Yin escaped from the palace the very next day. When he later learned that it was his sister who had set the trap, he was so angry he almost laughed.
Thinking about it, the Southern King casually turned the jade thumb ring in his hand, his sinister eyes full of calculation.
Raising his eyes, he met Li Chengyan's devilishly handsome face, and the Southern King's dark pupils narrowed suddenly.
The person in front of me had fair skin, disheveled hair, and a weak, labored breathing that seemed to rise and fall with each breath.
The King of the South's heart was inexplicably stirred, feeling itchy and tingly.
This kid actually gave him a strong urge, especially the perfectly timed sense of brokenness, which seemed to him like he really wanted to ravage it.
The veins on his forehead began to throb wildly, unable to suppress the inexplicable turmoil surging within him.
With a soft chuckle, the Prince of the South strode over, pinched Li Chengyan's chin, and examined him closely.
"She is indeed exceptionally beautiful!"
Everyone knew that his sister liked women, but no one expected that he was also an oddball.
Although there was a princess in the Southern Prince's mansion, the Southern Prince had never had a relationship with her. In fact, if the princess wanted to get close to him, he would scold her with disgust.
He had never met a man who made his heart race like this before. Seeing Li Chengyan today, the Prince of the South could finally understand how his sister had risked her life to be with Qing'er.
Li Chengyan's previously confused consciousness was instantly brought back to its senses by the Southern King's actions.
As he looked up, their eyes met, their auras intertwined, and goosebumps instantly covered his skin. He quickly turned his head away, shaking off the Southern King's hold.
"Still a proud little wildcat."
The Prince of Nan chuckled, a lingering smile playing on his lips, before ordering his men, "Release him and take him away to be thoroughly cleaned!"
"Wash it, wash it clean... Are you out of your mind? I'm telling you, let me go right now, or you'll regret it!"
Li Chengyan recognized him and knew the purpose of the Southern King's kidnapping, but the guy's series of outrageous actions just now made Li Chengyan feel a chill down his spine for no reason.
"I regret not meeting you, my little wildcat. That's what I truly regret..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Prince of the South gave a wicked smile, flicked his sleeve, and a familiar scent instantly wafted over. Li Chengyan knew in his heart that something terrible was about to happen, and then he lost consciousness.
When Li Chengyan woke up again, the servants had already cleaned him up. He opened his heavy eyelids and looked around. He quickly got up to check his body. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. However, the perverted Prince of the South had changed him into a set of light blue gauze robes.
The fabric was thin and light, unable to cover what should be covered, and even less so what shouldn't be covered, making him look exactly like a male concubine kept in the inner courtyard of a mansion.
Li Chengyan, the future consort of Princess Chongning of the Great Qi Dynasty, was being mocked like this by a prince from a small country. How could he possibly tolerate it?
He immediately wanted to jump out of bed, but to his surprise, a silver chain appeared on his ankle. He tried to pull it, but the chain didn't budge at all. Instead, he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body because of the small size of the chain.
"Chu Xiao, you get the hell out here!"
Li Chengyan shouted angrily, and the next second, the door was pushed open from the outside. The Prince of the South had changed into his home clothes and seemed to have just finished taking a shower.
"Hehe, little wildcat, so eager to call me king, are you impatient?"
The Prince of the South strode over and saw that Li Chengyan's face was covered in sweat, and a blush appeared on his fair face, making him look even more irresistibly attractive.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He quickly lifted his robe, intending to sit on the bed, when Li Chengyan kicked him directly.
Due to the effects of the medicine, Li Chengyan's kick was really like a kitten scratching an itch, with no killing power whatsoever.
This reignited the Southern King's desires, and he reached out, grabbed Li Chengyan's shoulder, and shoved him to the ground.
"I am not good-looking, not even as good-looking as your princess. Don't you want to be the future empress?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengyan was instantly amused. "The Empress?"
He couldn't help but burst into laughter; it was the funniest joke he had ever heard in his twenty-one years of life.
Li Chengyan clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could barely breathe, almost laughing himself to death.
The Prince of the South's eyes darkened as he looked at Li Chengyan's disdainful eyes and mocking expression.
He quickly leaned down, pinched Li Chengyan's cheeks which were cramping from laughing, and wanted to kiss him.
