It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

The man greedily sucked every drop of the nectar with a fresh herbal scent into his stomach.

Only when the last bit of air in the woman's chest was swept away and she collapsed in his arms with blushing cheeks did he reluctantly leave her lips that were as soft as petals.

The woman's eyes were misty, and she leaned weakly on the man's strong chest, gasping for breath.

The man held her in his arms, sat down, put his palm on her back, and slowly stroked it from top to bottom to help her breathe smoothly.

After the blush on her cheeks faded slightly and her breathing stabilized, Shang Xingjian lifted a strand of her hair, twisted it around his fingertips, and said slowly, "I have heard something about the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion."

"I heard that thirty years ago, the young master of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion was secretly taken out to play by his servant. He never came back and disappeared for no reason. The Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion sent countless people out to look for him, but to no avail. They didn't find any clues at all."

"The place where the young master disappeared was Luzhou."

Su Wanti exhaled lightly and frowned, "Old Man Su said that he sent all the valuables of my father to the pawn shop. If we had gone to the pawn shop at that time, we should have been able to find my father's belongings."

Shang Xingjian said, "After all, this happened thirty years ago. I was not even born then. If you want to know the details of this matter, I will ask my people to investigate."

Su Wanti nodded, "I want to know."

Shang Xingjian raised the corner of his lips, pointed to his cheek, and said, "I need some compensation."

Su Wanti pointed at her swollen lips and said, "Isn't this enough?"

Shang Xingjian narrowed his eyes, smiled softly, and stroked her bright red lips with his slender fingers. There were traces of his lips and teeth torture, and his breath remained.

"Okay, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Hearing this, Su Wanti was furious. She put her hands on the man's chest and tried to break free from his embrace. "You are lying again. What you said doesn't count at all. I just said no, but you forcefully kissed me..."

Shang Xingjian's deep laugh spilled out from his Adam's apple, and his arms were as hard as iron, holding the twisting woman tightly in his arms.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened and his expression changed slightly.

He suddenly realized that something had changed in his temperament...

He grew up reading classics, history, and literature, and held himself to the standards of a gentleman.

He always keeps his word, honors his promises, and has never deceived anyone.

Even his younger brothers laughed at him behind his back, saying he was a nerd and showed off his knowledge.

But his usual code of conduct failed when facing this Miss Su...

He coaxed her, forced her, and tempted her with benefits.

Knowing that she was unwilling, he also made a plan to trap her by his side forever...

Shang Xingjian's heart trembled violently, and he suddenly realized that his behavior was exactly the same as his father's!

My father is the ruler of the world and the emperor of Daning. His words are imperial decrees and no one dares to disobey his orders.

He had heard about how his father defeated more than a dozen brothers, seized military power, successfully forced the emperor to abdicate, and thus ascended the throne.

No one can change what the emperor has determined, and he can use both soft and hard tactics to achieve his goals.

The Queen Mother said that this was called the art of emperorship.

He used to disdain this and sometimes even thought that if his father passed the throne of Daning to him as an inheritance, he would not use any imperial tactics to manipulate people's hearts, but would govern the country with the tactics of a gentleman.

But now, look at what he has done to Miss Su?

Which one is what a gentleman does?

Shang Xingjian's dark eyes grew darker, he knew that forcing Miss Su was wrong, but his arms were as hard as iron, holding the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, refusing to let go.

He frowned and thought, perhaps this was the awakening of the royal bloodline?

Born as a prince, would he eventually become like his father and other princes, a person who breaks his promises and uses intimidation and bribery in order to gain power and achieve his goals?

If this was the fate of being born into a royal family, he would accept it calmly.

Shang Xingjian's eyes were dark, and he gently clamped the woman's small chin with his thumb and index finger, saying, "Besides me, who else can help you in Daning? So, don't push me away, okay?"

The woman calmed down temporarily, and looked at him with clear eyes filled with confusion and anger.

"Are you going to use your power to suppress me?" She raised her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, like an enraged little animal.

Shang Xingjian pecked her lips quickly, provocatively.

"You are really not a quiet and obedient woman, but I like your unruly appearance."

He leaned over, buried his head in her fragrant neck, and said softly, "You want to investigate your father's background, so I will give you another piece of information. Madam An's eldest daughter is the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the lost young master is her son."

Su Wanti's mind was working rapidly, gathering and sorting out all the information.

"Could it be, could it be that my father is..." Her breathing was unstable and her voice trembled.

"I will send someone to investigate. Don't worry, I will find out the truth." Shang Xingjian kissed her blood-red lips again.

They are interdependent and depend on each other.

Shang Xingjian didn't bother Su Wanti for too long.

When the woman pushed him away again, he let go.

He knew he couldn't push her too hard.

Shang Xingjian sent Su Wanti back to her room and then went to find An Jing.

An Jing was originally guarding outside Shang Xingjian's door. When he heard something strange coming from inside, he silently turned around and went back to his room.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed in a depressed mood, his eyes looking at the ceiling, his lips tightly pursed, and his expression depressed.

After spending a few days together, he developed a liking for Su Wanti, but unfortunately, before he could take any action, the young master got there first.

How could these two be together?

Could it be that every night when Miss Su was treating the young master, they developed feelings for each other and then developed romantic feelings for each other?

Alas, I can’t blame others. I can only blame myself for hesitating too long and losing the opportunity because of Miss Su’s humble status.

An Jing thought silently and pounded the bed in annoyance.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and Shang Xingjian came in.

"Young Master." An Jing sat up and said with his eyes lowered.

Shang Xingjian didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he was depressed, he thought that he was too tired from the long journey, so he said, "You have just recovered from a serious injury. Now that you have returned to the An family, you should rest well for a few days."

An Jing saw that although his expression was indifferent, there was a sense of satisfaction in his eyes.

Thinking of the subtle sound he had just heard outside the door, he felt a pang in his heart.

What is the point of resting? The more free time you have, the easier it is to have random thoughts. It is better to keep yourself busy and do something so that you don’t have time to think about these troubles.

An Jing cheered up and said, "Sir, after taking Miss Su's magic medicine, my body has completely recovered and I don't need to rest."

"By the way, young master, you said that after you arrived in Luzhou, you would tell me why you were worried recently. Now that you have entered the An family, can you tell me?"

"Okay. This matter is of great importance and is related to our future and life." Shang Xingjian frowned.

He told the story about Changliu's discovery of corruption and abuse of power by the Luzhou prefect, his discovery of the Luzhou prefect's collusion with members of the royal family in his study, and the secrets he had uncovered by sending secret guards to monitor the princes and princesses.

After hearing this, An Jing took a deep breath.

When he thought about it more deeply, his heart trembled violently, and he forgot all about the love between men and women!

"Sir, yes, there is a prince who wants to harm you, using the governor of Luzhou as a knife..."

At this moment, he felt a chill all over his body.

The rule in Daning is to establish the eldest son as the heir.

As for the position of crown prince, both the emperor and the empress favored the eldest prince.

He thought the matter was well known and beyond doubt.

I never thought that other princes would covet the throne.

His mother is the current queen's biological sister. The An family and the eldest prince are deeply tied together. If the eldest prince is schemed by other princes and loses his position as the future crown prince, or even his life...

Then their home would be like a capsized boat, and the family would be ruined and would never be able to get back on its feet.

The two discussed in the room for a long time.
