"King Jing, please spare him." Yan Xijun pleaded. She had just agreed with Ming to leave tonight, how could she let Chu Yixuan's people catch him?

  "Spare him." Chu Yicheng smiled, like an old cunning fox. "If I agree to let him go, what benefits can you give me?"

  "I...". Yan Xijun hesitated with difficulty. What good could she bring to him? Now, she had nothing to say at all.

  Chu Cheng took a few steps forward and pulled Yan Xijun, saying: "Jun'er, you don't have to ask him, I'm not afraid, nor will I be afraid of the Emperor."

  "Now you can't defeat him at all. If you're really caught by the Emperor, you'll be dead."

  "You're still clever, able to understand these principles." Chu Yiceng turned his head to say to Chu Chengming: "Your life is no longer of any use value. I believe that as soon as the Emperor catches you, he will immediately order your execution."

  "Brother, I don't want you to die. Remember to live on and live well." Yan Xijun said, grasping Chu Chengming's hand. Then, she let go of him and looked at Chu Yicheng: "Your Highness, as long as you are willing to show mercy and spare Ming Wang's life, I will follow you back to the manor."

  "These words are true." Chu Yicheng's piercing gaze was fixed on her as he said this, his purpose being to make her obediently follow him back.

  "I'm serious. Not a single word is a joke." Yan Xijun said firmly.

  Chu Yicheng pulled her hand and smiled: "Alright, I'll agree to you. Let him off this time. Tonight's matter, I absolutely won't leak out a single word. Does that satisfy you?"

  "As long as the king remembers not seeing the King of Hell tonight."

  "Alright. Let's head back to the manor then." Chu Yicheng said.

  "Jun Er!" Chu Cheng Ming looked at her being taken away and anxiously shouted.

  "Alas, I can't be with you now. I don't want to harm you. Just remember the promise we made tonight." Yan Xijun said as she turned back to him, secretly giving him a flirtatious glance before following Chu Yicheng away.

  Chu Cheng thought back to what she had said. Three days later, incense was lit at her father's grave. Was this the thing she had mentioned?

  Three days later, she will definitely escape again.

  Thinking of this, he didn't feel so desperate anymore. Maybe hope is just three days later.

  In the swaying sedan, Yan Xijun didn't dare to breathe heavily, lowering her head silently to accept Chu Yicheng's scrutinizing gaze.

  After a long time, Chu Yicheng finally spoke up: "He is the one you mentioned, your heart's desire, right? The person you like is him?"

  "Yes." Yan Xijun frankly admitted. It's all come to this point anyway, no need to hide it anymore.

  "Oh. Then I'm curious about what you said when you left. What did you mean by that promise you made with him?"

  "Do you really want to hear it?" Yan Xijun raised her head and looked at him, her hands clenched tightly on the hem of her clothes.

  "What do you think?" Chu Yicheng asked her back, looking at her tension, even more curious.

  "I've already made a promise with him. In the future, I will be together with him forever."

  "Don't even think about it, you will be with me in the future." Chu Yicheng glared at her with dangerous eyes. Then, he domineeringly pulled her into his arms, threw away her hat, tore off her veil, and gazed at her beautiful face, plump red lips. He quickly covered her lips with his own, punishing her with a passionate kiss that was accompanied by a hint of gentle biting.

  He kissed her for a long time before leaving her red lips. Looking at her already swollen lips, they were even more plump and full. He lightly touched her cheek with his mouth and said, "Remember, from now on you're mine."

  "Prince, I don't love you. Why do you insist on keeping me by your side?" Yan Xijun struggled to push him away. His overbearing embrace only made her feel suffocated.

  "Don't move, just let me hold you like this." Chu Yicheng said: "I won't force you to like me now, but one day in the future, you'll fall in love with me quickly. Because only I can make you happy and also give you what you want, no matter what it is, I can satisfy you at that time."

  "I don't want anything, just please let me go." Yan Xijun begged bitterly. She was a woman without ambition. She didn't ask for much and what she wanted was very ordinary. Why wouldn't he just let her go?

  "Stop dreaming. Tonight you'll voluntarily follow me back to the mansion. Then don't think about leaving me from now on."

  They arrived at the entrance of the Wang Fu, and after the sedan chair stopped, Chu Yicheng directly carried her into the mansion. At the entrance of the courtyard, they met Mei who was pacing back and forth anxiously. Seeing her return, his tense heart relaxed.

  It's strange that Grandpa came back with Yanyu together. Obviously, Yanyu was following a stranger just now, how did she come back?

  At that time, he was entangled by those two people and couldn't get away to chase after her. After tangling with the two of them for a moment, they saw that their goal had been achieved and stopped entangling him before running away.

  He was also unfamiliar with the capital city. He returned to the Wang Fu to ask for instructions from his master. After waiting for a long time, he finally waited for his return. However, it wasn't just one person who returned, but two people instead.

  "Master, Miss Yan, you're back." Mei stepped forward and bowed, saying, "As long as Miss Yan doesn't run away, everything will be fine."

  Chu Yicheng's face turned cold when he saw Mei Houjun, and he scolded: "I told you to protect Miss Yan closely, but you disappeared instead. Where did you go?"

  Mei Mang knelt down and said: "I was tied up by someone at that time, so I couldn't protect Miss Yan well. Please forgive me, sir."

  "Mo, you didn't protect her well enough. Go and receive your punishment yourself." Chu Yicheng put down his words and left with Yan Xijun.

  No way. He's going to be punished for this too. Mei thought resentfully in her heart. What a master who forgets his friends when he sees a pretty face.

  Chu Yicheng directly carried her back into the room, closed the door, and threw her onto the bed before taking off his official uniform.

  Seeing him take off his clothes, Yan Xijun's keen sense of smell detected a dangerous aura. She looked at him tensely and said: "What do you want to do by taking off your clothes?"

  "Sleeping, huh? Don't you take off your clothes when you sleep?" Chu Yicheng threw down his clothes and slowly walked towards her.

  "Don't come over." Yan Xijun hastily waved her hand and pointed to the door, saying: "If you want to sleep, please go out. This is my room."

  "To punish you for betraying me tonight, I can only calm my anger by sleeping in your room." Chu Yicheng said. The person had already come over and started unbuttoning her clothes.

  "Don't touch me! I don't want to take off my clothes." Yan Xijun screamed in resistance, her hands flailing wildly at his outstretched hand.

  "You're not taking off your clothes. Are you going to sleep in such thick clothes?" Chu Yicheng pointed at her heavily dressed body and said.

  "What's wrong with that?" Yan Xijun glared at him stubbornly, refusing to take off her clothes and face him in the same room. She couldn't do it.

  "I'll only say it once, strip or don't strip. If you don't want to strip, that's fine too. Just don't blame me for helping you take it off." Chu Yicheng coldly threatened. This little girl only responds to toughness, not gentleness.

  Yan Xijun was threatened by him. Reluctantly, she took off her thick outer coat. When she had only two undergarments left, she refused to take them off.
