Thinking about what the system said, Gu Shengyin imdiately imagined a dramatic scene within the imperial family: a struggle for power and profit, with an early move to assassinate the Crown Prince on the road before he ascended the throne.
But what does this have to do with her, Gu Shengyin?
Of course, it has everything to do with her!
With the Heavenly Dragon’s Emperor dead, where would the Eldest Princess Yong Le go to fulfill her legendary mission as Princess Yong Le?
Thinking of this, she felt a bit of a headache.
What a bother!
She must complete the task.
It would be best if the Heavenly Dragon’s Emperor were her lover, leading to a happy ending for her final task.
If not, she might have to resort to so little tricks.
But given the Heavenly Dao Laws’ usual favor towards the protagonist, she felt the forr was highly likely.
No matter, she would et Long Xiao first and see.
Gu Shengyin slowly got up from the soft couch and said calmly into the air, "Co out."
The room remained silent.
Gu Shengyin didn’t mind; she waited for a while and, when she realized the person had no intention of appearing, continued, "If you don’t co out now, when my Hidden Guards arrive, I can’t guarantee what will happen next."
As soon as she finished speaking, a huge splash sounded from the hot spring pool.
Before she could take a look, she sensed soone approaching from behind.
At the sa ti, the scent of lotus blossoms enveloped her.
It was indeed him.
Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then a calloused hand gripped her throat.
A deep voice murmured in her ear, "Apologies, I need to stay here for a few days. I hope Her Highness the Eldest Princess will cooperate with . Otherwise, I might have to employ so special asures."
His breath was hot, and the small jade-like being blushed as red as blood in an instant.
She heard her own voice, icy and grim, say, "If you dare touch again, I’ll have soone chop off one of your fingers!"
After her words, Long Xiao snapped back to his senses. Just now, what was he doing?
He released her and, confirming Gu Shengyin had no Inner Strength, cooperatively released his grip on her.
Only then did Gu Shengyin turn around to scrutinize Long Xiao.
With long eyebrows reaching his temples, eyes full of spirit, a tall nose, and tightly pressed thin lips, he was a rare handso man.
Long Xiao silently allowed her gaze.
Being of noble status in Heavenly Dragon, he had encountered many beauties seeking his affection, but he had never felt the slightest interest in them, and their gazes often left him very displeased.
But this person in front of him was different.
When he felt her eyes on him, he subconsciously puffed out his chest, like a courting Male Beast wishing to display his most charming and majestic side to a Female Beast.
This realization made Long Xiao, who had never studied matters of love, understand—he was interested in this woman.
He knew who she was.
The Eldest Princess Yong Le of Da Qing.
A beauty renowned throughout the world.
