"Ai, Your Highness, when did you come in"

When Zhao Rui saw Li Chen, her soul almost flew out of her body.

She didn't know if she had been seen when she hid the thing just now. If she was found out, her fate would be a million times worse than Chen Zhi's.

"Well, is there some secret you're afraid I might see"

Li Chen's words caused Zhao Rui's heart to jump into her throat. She forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, please don't tease me. In front of you, Your Highness, what secrets could I possibly have"

Li Chen chuckled lightly: "Not bad, you're becoming more and more well-behaved and know how to speak sweetly."

Meanwhile, Li Chen's hand had already reached Zhao Rui's waist.

Zhao Rui's heart pounded wildly, and she hurriedly pressed down on Li Chen's hand, pleadingly saying, "Your Highness, my concubine isn't ready yet."

"What else is needed This palace will treat you well."

Li Chen's words sounded like those of a villain.

Just as he reached out to untie Zhao Rui's waist sash, a piece of soft pink fabric fell from his bosom.

As a woman, I am most sensitive to this.

Zhao Rui immediately saw that a woman's undergarment had fallen from Li Chen's arms.

This is awkward.

Even Li Chen felt his face flush.

Though it was only natural for a prince to have many concubines, as he is the son of the emperor, being able to find Zhao Qinglan's baby bib nestled in his arms while lying with Zhao Rui felt somewhat outlandish.

Zhao Rui bit her lip and said softly, "Your Highness hasn't had enough of flirting outside"

"Who is that woman, and what family does she come from If the Crown Prince fancies her, he should take her into the Eastern Palace. That way, he wouldn't have to run around so much."

This statement, every word is perfectly normal and quite considerate, but the tone of voice... it carries a hint of bitterness.

Li Chen smiled softly and leaned in towards Zhao Rui's lips, saying, "What, jealous"

Zhao Rui hurriedly said, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince, this servant concubine dare not."

Is it because you dare not, or have you simply not

Li Chen rolled over onto the bed, reaching out with one arm to scoop up Zhao Rui and press her down on himself. He felt the softness and elasticity of her body, a truly mature and alluring form at its peak.

Zhao Qinglan's nobility, Zhao Rui's allure, these are the characteristics that set them apart from ordinary people.

Li Chen's large hand was invading Zhao Rui's body, on the important part of a woman. He said: "If it were just an ordinary woman, it would be fine, but the owner of this bellyband... forget it."

To marry Zhao Qinglan into the East Palace, this was something only an ignorant Zhao Rui would say. Even someone as bold and arrogant as Li Chen himself had never considered this possibility.

"Having said that, Li Chen didn't give Zhao Rui a chance to think before leaning into her ear and whispering mischievously: 'The last two times, this palace was rather rough with you. Tonight, I'll be gentle and cherish you, making sure you enjoy the pleasure of being intimate with me. How does that sound'"

Zhao Rui's body stiffened upon hearing this.

She had never expected Li Chen to be gentle with her, as long as he wasn't too rough.

After all, she had indeed been taking pleasure in teasing him and dangling things before him every day. Now, for some reason, Li Chen's temperament had changed drastically, and the dynamic between them had completely reversed. What's more, with Chen Zhi lying dead right before her eyes, Zhao Rui was even less daring to treat Li Chen as she used to.

Therefore, at this time, Li Chen's words sounded to Zhao Rui like an invitation to some kind of perverse game...

"Your Highness, please spare me. I... I am truly afraid," Zhao Rui pleaded.on't be able to escape.Brothers, carve a path with blood! Take one and it's a profit, two is a windfall! If we survive this, I will personally petition for the fallen brothers! Tell the court, tell th...
