Li Yunxing saw that adding fuel to the flames had an effect, so he said no more. It would be best to leave the matter in suspense.

If he plays his cards right in everything, how can Li Yunxing win this bet?

It is much better to let Su Miaoxue be full of doubts and suspicions about Liu Zhongqing like a frightened bird at any time than to have her immediately betray Liu Zhongqing and become loyal to herself.

After all, if she were to defect immediately, Liu Zhongqing would definitely jump over the wall.

So I changed my serious expression and relaxed the atmosphere.

"Come here." Li Yunxing said in a deep voice.

Su Miaoxue seemed unwilling and looked embarrassed.

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to be with her on the day when his siblings die...

People are not like grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? Even if Su Miaoxue and Su Zhaoyang don't have a deep relationship, they are still members of the Su family.

If you go to Wushan with Li Yunxing at this time and make a difference, what is the difference between you and the Goulan women who sell their sex in order to make money?

Seeing the resistance on the other party's face, Li Yunxing knew that she was overthinking.

Immediately, Li Yunxing sneered, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am the kind of beast who ignores human ethics and has no bottom line for his own lust?"

When Su Miaoxue heard Li Yunxing's question, her body trembled slightly, and a flash of clarity flashed in her mind.

"I have overstepped my bounds. Please punish me, Your Highness."

"Come here, don't let me tell you a third time." Li Yunxing said majestically.

Su Miaoxue hesitated for a moment, then obediently walked up to Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing stretched out his arms to wrap around Su Miaoxue's slender waist and hugged her to his side.

"Your Highness..."

Li Yunxing looked at Su Miaoxue, his eyes sharp and sharp, which made Su Miaoxue flinch.

"From now on, don't think about anything but me." Li Yunxing declared his sovereignty domineeringly.

Su Miaoxue was pulled into a warm embrace by Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing gently pressed her head on his chest, feeling the vigorous strength of the man's chest.

His heartbeat was very fast, and every beat would hit Su Miaoxue's heart, causing violent tremors.

"As long as you are loyal to me, you don't have to be afraid of many things." Li Yunxing's deep magnetic voice sounded.

When Su Miaoxue heard the words, she raised her head slightly and looked at the handsome face close at hand.

There was a mocking, evil smile hanging on the corner of Li Yunxing's mouth.

Her heartbeat accelerated, her cheeks turned red, and the complex emotions in her mind seemed to be replaced by this throbbing. Su Miaoxue looked away shyly.

Li Yunxing stretched out his big palm, pinched Su Miaoxue's delicate chin, and forced her to meet his gaze.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you today."

Then he held her in his arms again, like a child, patting her back gently to comfort her.

Su Miaoxue's stiff body gradually softened, and she leaned against Li Yunxing's solid and generous chest. Listening to his heartbeat, she felt extremely peaceful and at ease.

Su Miaoxue closed her eyes, feeling the unique scent of Li Yunxing in her nose.

This breath made her nostalgic.

Only then did she realize that His Highness the Crown Prince was comforting her.

"I'm tired, just take a rest with me." Li Yunxing said in a low voice.

Su Miaoxue raised her head and was about to refuse, but Li Yunxing had already closed her eyes to rest.

Looking at Li Yunxing's handsome profile, Su Miaoxue hesitated for a long time, but finally she was greedy for this warm embrace and snuggled in according to her heart.

Li Yunxing noticed that Su Miaoxue was approaching him and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

After Su Miaoxue's breathing gradually stabilized, Li Yunxing picked her up and put her back on the bed.

Sometimes, controlling people does not necessarily mean forcing them to surrender. You only need to give them appropriate tenderness to win people's hearts.

Li Yunxing learned this trick from his father, and it comes in handy now.

The next day, when Su Miaoxue woke up from a deep sleep, it was already dawn. She rarely woke up so late.

The palace maid also immediately noticed that Su Miaoxue was awake, and quickly called the palace maid to help Su Miaoxue wash and change clothes.

While Su Miaoxue allowed the palace maid to help her dress up, she secretly thought about the change in His Royal Highness's attitude toward her last night.

However, before she had time to think, she was summoned by the palace maid.

"Holy girl, today is the fifteenth day. You have to go to the high temple to pray for blessings. However, King Zhaoyang passed away yesterday. If the holy girl wants to keep her filial piety, a servant can pass the message to the abbot on her behalf." The palace maid said.

Su Miaoxue was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head.

The funeral of King Zhaoyang was presided over by the Queen. Due to emotions and reasons, she, a saint who was no longer a member of the royal family, had no place to attend.

"Don't bother the host, I'll go to the Gao Temple to pray for blessings."

The palace maid nodded and did not try to dissuade her any more.

Su Miaoxue thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did His Royal Highness arrange it?"

It is an unshakable rule to go to the Gaomiao to pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Even though Su Miaoxue now lives in the East Palace, it has not changed.

"It is exactly the will of His Highness the Crown Prince." The palace maid smiled.

Su Miaoxue nodded, as expected only a prince would do such a thing.

But why would he accommodate himself in this way? Even if he didn't do this, he would still be an abandoned son with nowhere to go, and could only need the prince's blessing.

"Does the prince have any other instructions?"

The palace maid smiled brightly and said, "No, His Highness the Crown Prince just asked us to serve the Holy Lady well these days."

"It can be seen that His Royal Highness still has a saint in his heart!"

They are all maids of the East Palace, and they usually receive favors from Li Yunxing. Now that Su Miaoxue is favored, they naturally hope that Su Miaoxue's position will become more secure.

As for the Crown Princess, it’s okay not to mention it.

Su Miaoxue lowered her eyes and did not answer. There was a dull pain in her heart.

"Holy girl, I will help you to dress up." Upon seeing this, the palace maid changed the subject wisely and helped Su Miaoxue to the bathroom.

Su Miaoxue sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her plain face and slightly messy black hair, her expression was in a trance, as if she had fallen into the same beautiful dream as last night.

"Your Majesty, please help me comb your hair."

A gust of fragrant wind blows, and the peonies outside the courtyard are in season of withering.

When the wind blows, the petals scatter like rain.

There is no red sun for flowers, and there is no moon for people.

Su Miaoxue slowly raised her head and looked into the distance, her eyes distant and empty.

She now has no support from the Su family, and will have to rely on herself for everything in the future.

Also without support was Liu Ruxu, the queen in the Jiaofang Palace on the other side of the palace.

Su Zhaoyang died of possible poisoning, and his body was sent to the imperial physician for examination by the imperial physicians himself.

After all, the Crown Prince has given orders to thoroughly investigate the truth behind King Zhaoyang’s death.

No one dared to disobey the prince's order. All the imperial doctors tried their best to examine Su Zhaoyang's body, hoping to find any clues.
