Chapter 8 ["Day" creates love for a long time]

Guangxin Palace.

In the bathtub, flower petals are floating and the beauty is alluring.

The smooth arm is slightly raised, a drop of water in the palm flows down the arm, flows into the ravine at the neck, and splashes water.

The hair was wet with water, and it looked very charming.

Looking from the chest, half of it is above water and half is underwater, appearing vaguely.

The water stains are full and the water droplets are round, flowing down, charming and enchanting.

Li Yunrui admired every inch of his body, running his fingertips lightly across it, feeling delighted.

With a slight squeeze of her legs, the water droplets immediately shot out.

The next moment, she stood up, her curves were exquisite and eye-catching.

Then, she moved her body and started dancing in the bathtub, gracefully and beautifully.

In the hazy mist, this charming young woman dances lightly in the bathtub.

The flower petals on the water surface looked like a gauze skirt, fluttering gently with her movements.

Her movements are seductive and rhythmic.

Every turn brings with it splashes of water.

The long legs were covered with water droplets, which rolled down gently.

After a long time, the dance ended.

She pinched a petal between her fingers and put it to the tip of her nose to sniff.

"Prince, if you saw this scene, how would you respond?"

This extremely crazy woman had a charming smile on her lips, and it seemed that she really meant it and was going to put it into practice.

When he was a child, Li Chengqian once fell seriously ill and almost died.

During that period, Li Yunrui took care of me personally and attentively.

What's more, Li Yunrui's clothes were too revealing.

Moreover, when their skin touched, she teased him intentionally or unintentionally.

As a result, the young Li Chengqian fell in love with her over time.

From then on, he fell into the deep cave he had designed for a long time and could not get out.

In fact, Li Yunrui has always known about the prince's attachment to her.

However, she always seemed to be distant towards him.

In all these years, there have only been two times of physical contact like the one a few days ago.

She has always believed that the best thing is to let them experience the beauty of it, which cannot be obtained every day.

Therefore, we cannot let him not get it, nor can we let him get it at will.

In this way, we can better control him.

Li Yunrui has been doing this for many years.

The prince was completely under her control.

She believed that even if she eventually chose to rebel, Li Chengqian would support and follow her without hesitation.

But now, all of this seemed to be out of her control.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian began to become independent-minded, calm, orderly, and neither humble nor arrogant.

He seemed to have become much gentler, but underneath that elegance, there was a sharpness that he had not had before.

Such a Li Chengqian made her feel unfamiliar.

So, at this time, she had to wake him up and get him back under her skirt.

"Your Highness."

Outside the door, the personal maid spoke.

In the bathtub, Li Yunrui shrank back under the water, and in the mist, the flower petals reached his chest.

"Come in."

A personal maid, a seventh-rank master, and Li Yunrui's confidant.

Many obscure and dark murders were committed by this maid.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince has sent the second son of the Lin family to collect donations throughout the city.

However, nothing was gained and now I have become the biggest joke in Kyoto."

The maid told her what had happened in recent days.

This included being looked down upon and humiliated several times wherever Lin Gong went.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunrui didn't seem to care about it. After he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment and asked:

"What about the prince?" The maid paused, "There has been no movement from the prince in the past three days.

Your Highness, rest assured, if the Crown Prince takes any action, our people stationed in the East Palace will report to you at any time.

Without your support, the prince now seems to be in disarray and at a loss.

According to reports, he stayed in the East Palace all day, doing nothing, and seemed to have given up completely. "

Hearing this, Li Yunrui finally showed a hint of joy on his face.

This is exactly the effect she wants!

She wanted to let Li Chengqian know that losing her support would be more than just losing an arm for the prince.

Instead, all of his internal organs were severely damaged, he was seriously injured and in critical condition, and could die at any time!

"Continue to pay attention to the East Palace's every move, no matter how big or small. If there is any movement, report it at any time."

"Yes!"

The maid responded, took two steps back, and prepared to leave, but stopped at the door.

"Your Highness, if the Crown Prince is still helpless and can't raise money, will you help him?"

Hearing this, Li Yunrui, who had a petal on her red lips, reached out to take it and tore it into pieces.

"I will help him, of course. However, I want him to come and beg me in person and admit his fault!"

The maid has left, closing the door.

In the bathtub, the crazy woman touched her breast with one hand, clenched her fist with the other, and had her eyes closed with a crazy look on her face.

Royal study room.

While in the imperial palace, except for the morning court sessions, the king never wore the dragon robe.

A casual white robe that reaches the ground, refreshing and comfortable.

He was half lying on the soft couch, reviewing memorials, with a cup of candied fruit beside him.

Not far away, three steps away, the old eunuch Hou Gonggong stood with his body bowed, waiting for his turn to die.

Emperor Qing wrote down his thoughts and reviewed the memorial. After putting it down, he took a sip of candied fruit and asked:

"Something seems to be going wrong in the East Palace?"

The old eunuch, Lord Hou, was very perceptive. He immediately reported all recent events one by one. His words were brief but comprehensive.

"Fundraising?" Emperor Qing frowned slightly when he heard this.

The prince was targeted and lost face, which was a slap in the face of the royal family.

However, the second prince and the eldest princess were the masterminds behind this matter.

So, a simple matter suddenly turned into a fight for the throne.

The nature of it has changed.

"Your Majesty, do you want to..." The old eunuch did not finish his words.

"No, it's just a good opportunity to see if I, as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, can resolve this difficulty. If not..."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, the old eunuch trembled inwardly and pretended not to hear it.

Serving the king is like serving a tiger. There are some words that need to be kept in mind and must not be forgotten until death.

However, there are some words that cannot be heard or remembered.

To be honest, Emperor Qing was still a little disappointed with the Crown Prince over the years.

Mediocre and mediocre.

Although there is no major fault, there is no achievement either.

Of course, for the position of the Eastern Palace, not making mistakes is a merit.

However, as an extremely ambitious Emperor Qing who aspires to rule the world, he hopes that his future successor will be a king with real ability, rather than someone who only sticks to the territory and does not know how to make progress.

In order to hone the crown prince, he even trained a second prince to serve as a whetstone for him.

Sadly, it doesn't look like the effect is very good.

He was slightly disappointed about this.

The only consolation is that under the pressure from the Second Prince, the Crown Prince has always remained firmly in the East Palace without making any major mistakes.

This time, there was a severe drought in the country, and Emperor Qing suggested that Li Chengqian participate in disaster relief, but did not allocate a penny to him.

The purpose is to test him.

Let's wait and see. If you are incompetent, it is better to make plans early.

Now, due to Li Yunrui's lack of support, the prince's predicament has become even more difficult.

In this situation, if he can complete the test...

Although he had expectations in his heart, Emperor Qing no longer held much hope and sighed secretly.
