"Oh, is that so" That scorching breath fell onto Ning Shu's cheeks, he widened his eyes staring at the face before him, just two fingers away from his own.The curtain was lifted, revealing a face of stunning beauty as it fell to the ground.

The young man sat there, his appearance strikingly handsome and fair. Every inch of him was perfect, without a flaw to be found. His eyelashes were long and his skin so white that it stirred something alluring within you.

His temperament is hard to describe, but it's impossible to look away. And his figure... is even more captivating.

The innkeeper was instantly struck dumb by the young man's beauty. In all his years, he had never seen anyone so handsome. There were many beautiful women and men in the inn, but none compared to this youth.

But compared to the person in front of me, he is not even half as good.

Yuè Fáng's expression was dazed, but when he sensed a cold and calculating gaze filled with killing intent, his entire face turned pale. He felt his legs tremble involuntarily. Originally, he had wanted to see this young man and figure out how he was better than him.

Let me tell you, he's the prettiest little coffin in all of Chun Feng Guan.

But now, he realized that he had been possessed by infatuation. No wonder this young master looked down on him. He couldn't help but bite his lip, a tinge of jealousy rising in his heart. If only he had such a handsome face...

The Third Prince and his entourage were dumbfounded.

The cup was forgotten.

The Third Prince had been thinking about Ning Shu day and night, finding no male favorite who could compare to him. He never expected that the Crown Prince would bring him here, and even less so that he'd bring him to the Spring Wind Pavilion.

While the Fourth Prince was staring at the boy's face, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

He didn't dare look any longer. Although he had no inclination towards men, he found the young man too beautiful, too alluring. Even he, who wasn't interested in men, felt that this person had a way of captivating them.

And while Ningshu was taken aback, he hadn't expected Yuefang to expose his separation.

The prince stared down at the person on the ground and said softly, "I warned you, how could you be so disobedient..."

The Third Prince's eyes flashed as he heard this. He dared not look at Ning Shu anymore, and hurriedly said to the moonlit house on the ground: "You wretched slave, don't you apologize to this young master"

The maid’s legs trembled. He felt remorse filling him. Though there was still a hint of resentment in his heart, he gritted his teeth and unwillingly said: "I have offended this young master, please don't hold it against me."

Ning Shu looked down at the trembling boy. He didn't look much older than fifteen.

Although they had hostility toward him first, he hadn't done anything unforgivable. So, he spoke, "I don't blame you, but in a place like this, where humans and dragons mix, you shouldn't be so impulsive next time."

The monthly rent... this is the young man warning him, he couldn't help but bite his lip.

Resentment filled her heart.

He's just a commoner who has climbed the social ladder, nothing more than a slave. What right does he have to be so arrogant, while I have to sell myself here

Ning Shu didn't think much about it, rationally speaking. This was his advice to the other party, he wasn't so kind-hearted, he just felt a little bit sorry for Yue Fang's age.

As for the other party's fate, it can only depend on whether they are willing to change.

The prince lowered his eyes and said, "Since Ninger has said so, this king will not punish you."

Then the young man stood up, and the handsome fairy-like person also walked out.

The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince exchanged glances, then hurried after him. They were suspicious in their hearts. The Crown Prince had always been somewhat eccentric, how come he was so calm this time

Ningshu left the door, hand-in-hand with the prince.

Zhao Xiaojiang finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly followed.

Ning Shu was being led by the hand when, as they passed a room, he heard ambiguous voices coming from inside. He glanced unintentionally and saw a chaotic scene before his eyes.

The door of the room was open, and a middle-aged man full of hot air had a young boy pinned beneath him.

Then the young man also touched him with his tender, white fingers and coquettishly said: "Sir, please slow down, I can't bear it."

“Well, you little vixen, just wait until I get my hands on you,” the middle-aged man said.

Ning Shu's face flushed, the next moment. She was covered by the prince's hand: "It's filthy, Ning'er don't look."

The prince glanced at the people inside.

When he saw the half face, his eyes were cold. He took the boy's hand and put the mask back on him. Only then did the Third Prince and Fourth Prince realize that the Crown Prince was truly going back, but nothing had happened at all.

Could it be that she actually believed what the male consort said

But then she thought again, it was just a male pet. The crown prince wouldn't be in any trouble over this. At worst, they could just deal with the little courtesan.

Ning Shu was sent onto the carriage. The prince lifted the curtain and said to him, "I still have a few words to say to my third brother and the others."

Ning Shu nodded and then walked inside.

He sat in the carriage, unaware of what had transpired outside. Nor would he know that upon returning, the Crown Prince did not speak to the Third Prince and his company, but instead addressed a man in plain clothes, saying: "I think this place needs a makeover."

But in Chunfeng Pavilion, the third prince was also quite downcast. The crown prince came and went as he pleased. But the only thing they knew for sure was that the crown prince truly had a fondness for men, which made both of them rather excited.

The Fourth Prince is deliberately vying for power, while the Third Prince is both wary and afraid of the Crown Prince. He wishes the Crown Prince would step down from his position so that everyone would turn against him.

Of course, he now desired that peerless beauty more.

At this moment, a group of people came from outside. At the order of their leader, they started to demolish everything in Chunfeng Pavilion. Everyone was astonished and then began to flee.

The Third Prince and his companions also changed their expressions.

At this moment, they saw the Prince's handsome face, as beautiful as a fairy. They glanced at him gently, but their brows were cold and aloof, as if looking down from high above.

The Third Prince's face twitched as he heard this: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this In broad daylight, you're doing such a disgraceful thing. If the Emperor found out, wouldn't that be troublesome"

The Crown Prince said faintly, "My actions have nothing to do with you."

The people in Chunyifang were also shivering, Mother stood by the side, holding a large amount of gold and silver, but she could only watch helplessly as this place was torn down.

The monthly rent collector was brought before them.

The Crown Prince looked at him, "He is generous, but I am not." He lightly curled his lip and said, "You like showing off your face the most, don't you I will have him parade through the streets every day, let the whole world see, won't that please you"

Only then did Yue Fang realize that the handsome man before him was the current prince.

He regretted deeply, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked that young master. Please, Your Highness, show mercy."

The prince, however, could not bear to look at him for a moment: "What are you dawdling about Tomorrow, we will start from Yangzhou. I said that all under heaven would be included, and that means everyone."

His lips trembled, the heat of the sun was so intense, he might not die but would surely lose half his life.

The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, however, thought the Crown Prince was simply insane. The Third Prince, in particular, seemed to see a flashback of his childhood when the Crown Prince, all by himself, had dragged a servant to the lotus pond and drowned him.

He was even more terrified.

But it was just a small matter, and the prince made a fuss out of nothing. He even let Dugu Xuan Ce take his position as crown prince. It's really ridiculous.

.....

Ning Shu waited for a while before the crown prince returned.

He saw the figure and poked his head back out. He caught sight of someone running out from inside, so he looked a little closer. But the prince had already gotten into his carriage and pulled down the curtain, asking, "What are you looking at, Ning'er"

Ning Shu couldn't help but ask: "What happened at Chun Feng Guan Why were those people so hurried"

The prince took a sip from the tea poured in the carriage. He was always extravagant. This carriage not only had many hidden compartments, but even snacks and tea were considered little luxuries.

He said softly, "There's a guest inside who killed someone. That's why they're so panicked."

Murder

Ning Shu didn't know how this could have happened, he didn't think too much about it. He followed the prince's carriage back to the palace before taking off his mask.

The prince stroked his face and said, “Ning’er is so handsome. I truly want to keep you in the palace at all times.”

Ning Shu's eyebrows jumped, she thought the prince was just joking.

He pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness is jesting."

The prince said again, "I know you don't like being confined." Having said that, he went to amuse the birds in the cages in the palace, and whispered softly, "Ning'er is different from these birds."

.....

As night fell, the lights in the prince's palace had already been extinguished.

Ning Shu lay in bed and fell asleep.

Yet he didn't know that a figure had walked up beside him. If Ning Shu slept lightly, he would have noticed that the Prince watched him like this every night.

He just didn't know that when he was asleep in his dreams, it was always peaceful.

The crown prince watched silently for a while, then got into bed. He began to hold the boy and sleep, sniffing the faint scent on his body as he slept.

When Ning Shu woke up, he found himself pressed against a warm source. He was startled at first, then realized that the person sleeping behind him was the prince.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Ning Shu couldn't help but loosen the distance. He was afraid that he would make an embarrassing sound like last time. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, the crown prince woke up.

His handsome face, beautiful like a fairy, showed no expression.

But those peach blossom eyes looked over at Mo Mo, then said: "I couldn't sleep last night, so I came here."

Ning Shu asked, "Your Highness, did you sleep restlessly again"

The crown prince gently rubbed his temples and said, "I had a dream."

When he said this, his eyes flicked towards Ning Shu, causing her heart to skip a beat. She couldn't help but avert her gaze and purse her lips, asking, "What did Your Highness dream about"

The prince's gaze never left him for a moment, just watching him.

Then, slowly, it was whispered from those thin lips: "I dreamt of you. I dreamt I pinned you to the bed..."d what happened that night"Ning Shu finished listening, and he couldn't help but say, “I didn't mind...”"So, I'm going to the infirmary to find you, and as soon as you see me, you pull the curtains cl...
