Chapter 693: Heart-to-Heart Cauldron?
ish is that all your wishes come true."Xiao Yu Ge was stunned and raised her eyes. Their gazes met, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that all the stars in the sky seemed to have fallen into his...“Hmm.” Qian Si Chen saw that she had loosened her lips, and immediately raised his hand to guarantee, “I promise you can come and go freely from here in the future, but, you also have to promise me, you can’t leave the capital!” He was most afraid that if she left the capital with the little emperor uncle, then, at any corner of the world, he would not know where to find her.
"I won't be leaving the capital for now," Xiao Yuge didn't lie to him. At least, she needed to find out if that person was truly the one from her dreams. If he was, what did he want by suddenly appearing now
“Alright.” Qian Si Chen pulled her to sit beside him. “Ge’er, I know you have feelings for the Little Emperor Uncle, but we also have a deep bond from childhood. I will try my best to make you accept me again.” He was confident that his years of affection with Ge’er far outweighed the few months she had spent with the Little Emperor Uncle.
Xiao Yu Ge stared at him fixedly. When he wasn't acting crazy, he was actually quite handsome. However, she had already spared his life out of obligation to the heavens, and she wouldn't consider accepting him again, not even a chance! She was just delaying things for herself. Qian Ting Xuan hadn't come in two days, he must have encountered something. His senior brother definitely hid something from her, she had to go to the palace to see for herself before she could rest easy.
Thousands of thoughts swirled in Qian Si's mind as he gazed at her. Her black and white eyes, still captivating as ever, held a different quality now. The sparkle of clarity was gone, replaced by an abyss-like depth that seemed to conceal everything.
Now she is as beautiful as a poppy, able to switch freely between innocence and ruthlessness. He doesn't even know how much of what comes out of that cherry-like mouth is true and how much is false, but even if it's deception, he's still captivated by her.
"Get some rest. I'm going out for a bit." Xiao Yuge got up and left.
"Are you going to look for the little imperial uncle" Qian Sichin grabbed her arm, knowing the answer, but he still wanted to hear it from her lips.
Xiao Yu Ge glanced at the hand holding onto her, then coldly pulled it away: "Didn't we agree I could come and go freely Or are you already going back on your word"
After a thousand thoughts, Qian Si retreated a step, her heart feeling as if it had been roughly kneaded. Indeed, he had just promised her, but at this moment, he wanted to go back on his word. He didn't want her to meet Xiao Huangshu at all, not even a bit. Just thinking of her being affectionate with Xiao Huangshu made him jealous to the point of madness!
"I'll be back to change your dressing." Xiao Yuge said, then strode out.
Qi Si watched her leave without looking back, his heart aching. At this moment, he seemed to feel the pain she had once endured. He too had left just like that, leaving her alone in the darkness.
Once upon a time, her heart was so aching!
He covered his heart, silently enduring this piercing pain. Perhaps only by experiencing all the grievances and pain she had endured could he be forgiven.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Advisor requests an audience!" Ling Tian came to report at this time.
"What's he here for" Qian Si Chen frowned, pressing against her wound before sitting down at the table. "Please invite him in!"
“I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince!” The national teacher still wore his loose daoist robes and sported black hair that seemed out of sync with his age. He bowed to Qian Si Chen with composure.
"No need for formalities, Grand Tutor." Qian Si Chen waved his hand, signaling the attendants to withdraw. He knew that the Grand Tutor wouldn't come to see him lightly; if he did, there must be a reason: "Grand Tutor, is there something you wish to discuss with me"
"Your Highness, I know you are troubled by love at the moment. I am here to help you out of this predicament," the State Teacher said plainly.
"Oh I wonder how the Imperial Advisor plans to help me out of this predicament" Qian Si Chen raised an eyebrow. He never really cared much for the Imperial Advisor. If it weren't for his father's favoritism towards him, he wouldn't even look at the Imperial Advisor.
"Guó Jūnzhǔ is undoubtedly a woman of great destiny. If we can persuade her to marry His Highness willingly, then His Highness will not only become the future King of Lan Zhao, but even possibly the ruler of all under heaven!"
"Lord of the world" Qian Si Chen lightly scoffed: "Grand Master, do you think this palace would believe such words This palace is not the Emperor, I won't be deceived by your flowery rhetoric. You better say something this palace likes to hear." He always felt that the Grand Master was approaching the Emperor with ulterior motives, trying to gain the Emperor's trust, there must be a purpose behind it, only... for now, he still lacked evidence.
"Your Highness, your words are amiss! I am the Grand Master of Lan Zhao, loyal to Your Majesty and to you. This old minister only wishes to see Your Highness out of this distress, so I wanted to lend a helping hand."
"Will you still assist this palace" Qian Sichin sized him up, wanting to find some clue on his face, but ultimately withdrew her gaze with some disappointment. The old fox's face always wore an air of composure, not revealing a single flaw: "The person you help shouldn't be your future son-in-law, your third younger brother, right"
"My daughter is infatuated with Your Highness. How could I, as her father, possibly deny her wish But I remain loyal to His Majesty! My purpose in coming here is to help Your Highness win back the lady's heart."
"Then how should the Grand Tutor help me win back my beloved's heart" Qian Sichin didn't believe him, but greed ultimately triumphed over reason. Besides, he was determined to possess Ge'er no matter what, so even though he knew this might be a trap set by the Grand Tutor, he still wanted to give it a try. Perhaps he would succeed.
"Just see the National Master calmly took out a small bottle from his body and placed it in front of Qian Sichin: 'This is the Heart-Linked Cup, Your Highness, as long as you let her drink it, afterwards, she will be linked with your heart, for life, loving only you!' "
"Be bold!" Qian Sichin's heart burned with anger. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her voice a low growl. "Do you want me to use this to hurt Ge'er" Her furious eyes seemed like they could tear the national master apart.
The National Master still wore that indifferent expression, as if this anger was nothing to him at all, not worth mentioning: “Your Highness wouldn’t think that a mere sliver of emotion could earn someone’s true heart, would you You should know, you and she have already missed your chance. If you want to rekindle the romance, you need some tricks up your sleeve to achieve your goal.”
"This palace will never harm Ge'er!" Qian Si's robe sleeve flicked, coldly issuing an order to leave: "Come here, see her out!"
"Your Highness, please give some thought to what your humble servant has said." The Grand Tutor finished his words and rose, a faint smile curving at the corner of his lips. He casually placed the small vial on the table, then turned and left the place.
Qianshi's heart was filled with anger and resentment. He punched the table angrily: "Old geezer!" To have him hurt Ge'er, how could he!
When his gaze fell upon the small bottle, he hesitated. The national master's words seemed to echo in his ears again: This is a love potion. As long as she drinks it, from then on, she will be connected with His Highness, her heart and soul will be one, for life and all eternity, loving only His Highness!with him, and then turn around and have a completely different idea." 。"Alright, senior brother, I'm not a three-year-old child. If I wanted to take action, I would have done so long ago. You can rest...
