Chapter 36 Crown Prince’s Forcible Seizure of You

Chapter 36: The Crown Prince's Ruthless Seizure

The entire chamber was the emperor's sleeping quarters.

The environment needs no further description.

On Lou Han's way up, he didn't encounter anyone to stop him.

Thus, Lou Han arrived.

The reason for coming was that the system suddenly announced an anomaly here. It seemed necessary for him to come.

But... this was not a scene he wanted to witness!

...

Lou Han's understanding of Xiao Jing in this world was not deep to begin with.

Seeing this scene was utterly shocking.

System: "Wow."

Every world has such grand scenes to encounter.

But in this world, Lou Han, who witnessed all of this, seemed to become a target of attack as well.

Having only met Xiao Jing a few times in this world, Lou Han had a good impression of him, including everything in this world. He didn't expect that Xi Jingqi, who looked innocent, would do such a thing!

In ancient times, patricide and regicide were unforgivable sins, and two of them were the emperor and the crown prince. This was simply intolerable.

Moreover, wasn't Xiao Jing the future monarch, set in stone? Why would he do such a thing?

What was even more outrageous was that Xiao Jing, doing such a thing, should have been on high alert, right? How could he so easily witness such a thing that should have been kept secret!

Lou Han suddenly thought of the words of that unscrupulous Taoist.

The Taoist might indeed have some skills.

But he didn't calculate that the "black cloud" was Xiao Jing...

Xi Jingqi was waiting for Lou Han's reaction.

Xi Jingqi, who obtained everything with ease, was bored with everything in the world.

Today seemed to be no different.

The unexpected appearance of Lou Han made it less boring.

As the crown prince, Xi Jingqi had many followers, and his childhood friend, the crown prince, was the first among them.

But unlike the prime minister and those who supported him in the royal power struggle, yet feared him.

The crown prince had always followed him, always like a lamb naive to the danger in front of a wolf.

Clearly, since childhood, there were too many times when he showed his fangs, all of which were overlooked by him.

They studied together, taught by the same tutor, not only wrote poems together but also wrote the same policy paper.

Xi Jingqi knew that his lifelong ambition was to help the world and support the state in danger.

This ambition was contrary to Xi Jingqi's.

He had laughed before, but Lou Han, who said these words, had a firm gaze, like a star in the cold night.

He suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity. How would Lou Han, who believed in him so much and was dedicated to the world, contrary to himself, view him?

Wasn't this interesting? He had always been gentle and virtuous in front of Lou Han since childhood. This was the first time he let him see his true nature, which was an irreparable situation.

Lou Han's reaction.

Would he be disgusted with him?

Question him?

However, Lou Han unexpectedly... did not have any of the reactions he had imagined in his mind.

In the past few days, Lou Han saw that he was a bit different. His appearance was the same as before, but his eyes were different.

He used to be like a lamb, naive and harmless in Xi Jingqi's heart. In the past few days, in his eyes, Lou Han looked at him with a clear and transparent gaze, as if he were exploring every time he saw himself.

Every one of him has always been him in Xi Jingqi's heart.

It's just this one.

Xi Jingqi, who regards the world as a chessboard, couldn't figure it out. He subconsciously calculated Lou Han's next move according to his habits, but it was in vain.

And Lou Han didn't move for a long time. He said a sentence very differently from before.

——

One person stood in place.

First, think about whether Xi Jingqi is right or wrong to do this.

Because this is a virtual world, there is no crime in doing anything. Xi Jingqi can do whatever he wants.

But Lou Han wants to go out, he must pass the task with Xiao Jing.

So the system is full of this: he won't kill us to keep his mouth shut.

Lou Han still has a second question in his mind.

Has Xi Jingqi been stimulated since he was a child?

Why did he grow up like this.

Lou Han thinks.

Lou Han is confused.

So the first sentence he said was to ask him hesitantly,

"...What hardships have you suffered since you were a child?"

"..."

Xi Jingqi looked at him, puzzled by what he said.

Xi Jingqi's expression was light.

He summoned the hidden guards of the Eastern Palace out of thin air.

Lou Han saw that what was originally only him, Xiao Jing, and two deceased brothers in the hall, suddenly two brothers in black masks appeared out of the air.

These two knelt before Xi Jingqi.

"How did you let the Crown Prince come over?" Xi Jingqi said softly, but with a stern face, indicating his displeasure.

He had heard that Lou Han entered the palace today.

In fact, the entire imperial palace is currently under the control of the Crown Prince, with hidden guards spread like a vast net, even a mosquito is under control.

But Lou Han is different.

How exactly he is different— the subtle attitude of the Crown Prince towards him.

They, the hidden guards, are the most aware of this, so they did not intervene to stop the Crown Prince, but allowed him to come in. Otherwise, upon seeing someone coming, their orders were to kill without question.

The two hidden guards looked at each other, seeing that the Crown Prince was not pleased, and according to the hidden guard regulations, they could not argue or explain, so they knelt down to apologize.

"Your Highness, it was our failure in handling affairs."

Xi Jingqi did not order punishment, and seeing Lou Han step back a few steps to the side, not staring blankly at him, but blankly at the two kneeling on one knee on the ground.

He frowned slightly, and after a moment, he understood something and explained: "You have never seen them before, you don't know, they are the hidden guards trained by my Eastern Palace, specifically for me to investigate and deal with dissenters."

Don't even mention Lou Han's reaction.

The system was confused by Xi Jingqi's action, "Why is he explaining so clearly to you?"

"You don't remember anything, doesn't he suspect your true identity? Doesn't he want to eliminate you?"

Xi Jingqi circled the entire palace.

He laughed a few times.

Until he casually said: "His Majesty has passed away."

Only then did the concubines and eunuchs behind a distant screen dare to cry out loud.

Lou Han was shocked.

He saw a crowd of people kneeling there, the emperor's sickbed usually had many people guarding it.

"Your Majesty—"

The mourning bell in the palace resounded throughout the palace.

After doing this, Xi Jingqi turned to look at Lou Han again.

Lou Han was silent in his eyes, he originally thought these were very interesting.

But at this moment, he couldn't laugh.

Xi Jingqi said to the hidden guards kneeling on the ground, who were about to take their punishment: "You take the Crown Prince and tie him up, lock him in the side hall, and do not let him out without my decree."

Lou Han: "... I will go by myself." He suddenly spoke up.

Interrupting Xi Jingqi's solo performance.

At this moment in the room, even a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.

In the past, it was different.

Xi Jingqi looked at the scene in the room,

Nodded.

The hidden guards exchanged glances and respectfully escorted Lou Han to the side hall.

Xi Jingqi scanned the hall, listening to the sobbing, the concubines prostrate on the ground, in deep sorrow, he casually ordered, "Today, no one except the Crown Prince is to be spared."

Not a single one.

Xi Jingqi said briefly, "Kill them all."

The hidden guards accepted the order.

The sound of raindrops under the eaves, Longzhao Hall fell into silence.

Only the purple spirit golden palace incense tripod in the corner of the emperor's bedroom, continuously emitting a faint fragrance of burning incense...

Xi Jingqi stood with his hands behind his back, and said to the eldest prince in the hall and the emperor on the bed:

"The world is within my reach, knowing you all hate me to the bone."

"I wanted to play with you, to give you a chance, and you are so weak."

And his younger brother, he is even more foolish, actually sending people to assassinate him.

He returned from the northwest war zone this time with an army of 50,000, ambushed outside the capital.

Fifty thousand.

"But—" Xi Jingqi looked at the eldest prince in the center of the hall with a smile, "Your Highness, you are not good at controlling your subordinates."

The master of the 50,000 army, Chen Jianjun, took the initiative to surrender to him.

He is also someone who recognized him as a wise ruler early on.

The hidden guards cleaned up the entire palace, and finally found the jade seal hidden by a mechanism under the emperor's bed.

Xi Jingqi held the jade seal in one hand, looked at it for a moment, and then dropped it.

From now on, he is the

From this point on, he became a rebellious ruler.

Throughout history, the first step to being a wise monarch is undoubtedly to ascend to the throne legitimately.

He could have taken the path of reason, but he deliberately chose not to embrace this "legitimacy."

Lou Han would not be able to bear it when he found out; he is a gentleman who looks up to his crown prince brother, aspiring to act as a gentleman would...

But that day, Lou Han took the initiative to appear.

The sky outside the palace path had darkened; although it was just a few steps away, it seemed so twisted and deep.

Xi Jingqi walked in slowly. The gate made a "click" sound.

In the side hall, only Lou Han was present.

Lou Han heard the sound he made and looked back at Xiao Jing with some caution—

Xiao Jing stood in front of him, expressionless, which was somewhat unnerving.

Until Xi Jingqi grabbed Lou Han's hand and pressed him onto the bed.

Xi Jingqi's hairpin had come loose, and his cool strands of hair spilled over Lou Han's face and body.

What on earth.

A bizarre development—

The system saw the terrifying scene of seizing the throne and becoming a tyrant turn into a lewd act—

He seemed as if he couldn't wait to taste the food.

He immediately kissed Lou Han's lips.

The moment he touched that softness, he was like a person who had been parched for a long time coming into contact with water, drawing and sucking.

But he quickly raised his head again because he didn't receive the expected rejection.

For some reason, his temperament was very steady, always patient when it came to what he wanted.

But at this moment, he was a bit too hasty, making him seem rough.

Lou Han looked at his expression.

He was originally lying flat.

His hands were open, allowing Xiao Jing to kiss him freely.

Come on.

But seeing his look, as if he was dissatisfied with his performance, Lou Han quickly pushed Xi Jingqi away.

Then, seemingly resisting, he said, "How could you do this!"

Very cooperative, right.

Xi Jingqi finally became satisfied, and he chuckled lowly, like a pervert: "Only today do I let you know that I am such a person, do you know, I do not regret it."
