Chapter 333 Taking the Initiative to Shake Hands with Prince Xiao

yes!

It's just paying people to spread baseless rumors. They'll spread them among the lowest-level people, and no one will be able to trace where they actually came from.

All we need to do is wait for the rumors to spread, then do nothing and quietly observe the results.

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious. Once the emperor knows that the crown princess is likely the descendant of a spy from the Northern Desert, it will be very difficult to remove the thorn of suspicion.

Fortune favors the bold, and Su Lianwu was right about that!

With that thought in mind, Xiao Churen quickly made a decision.

"Alright, I'll have someone arrange this. Now, go back and do nothing. Under no circumstances should you be exposed. Don't let anyone trace your actions back to me!"

"Of course, I will definitely not cause any trouble for Your Highness."

Su Lianwu happily cupped his hands in greeting.

After reaching an agreement with the King of Chu, they left the Chu Prince's residence with peace of mind, without even thinking of visiting Su Wanshi.

Of course, Su Wanshi didn't intend to meet them. After overhearing their conversation, she took advantage of Xiao Churen's busy schedule to secretly go to Xiao Wangfu under the pretext of buying rouge.

By this time, Xiao Wang's injuries had almost healed, and his personality had become much more sinister after he woke up.

He used to put on a facade in front of his servants, but now, as soon as the gates of the Prince's mansion are closed, his terrifying side is quickly exposed.

Because last time he suffered in silence, even though he knew that Su Liluo had harmed him and Chu Yun, he couldn't complain because he had planned to harm Chu Yan first.

He was furious when he saw Chu Yun disfigured and with his arm severed. He killed more than a dozen servants in the mansion that afternoon to vent his anger.

However, in the end, Chu Yun only managed to save his life; his appearance and arm could not be saved.

Although he was deeply in love with Chu Yun before, Chu Yun's personality changed a lot after he was disfigured and lost an arm.

She became withdrawn and refused to let Prince Xiao visit her every day, instead going crazy alone in her room.

He could only watch all this sadly, and silently send people to continue searching for renowned doctors, hoping for a miracle to cure Chu Yun.

On this day, upon learning that Su Wanshi had come to see him, Prince Xiao, who had been secluded and withdrawn for a long time, suddenly became interested.

"Have someone bring her in."

King Xiao instructed his servants.

Soon, the servants brought Su Wanshi to Prince Xiao's courtyard.

Today, Su Wanshi wore a peach-colored gauze dress, her waist was slender and her figure was tall. She also wore a veil that was barely visible, making her look beautiful yet hazy.

Perhaps because he had seen too much of Chu Yun's dejection and wretchedness recently, when he suddenly saw Su Wanshi, Xiao Wang was surprised and found her more pleasing to the eye than before.

Su Wanshi immediately noticed the hint of appreciation in Xiao Wang's eyes. She was delighted and became even more careful about her posture and speech.

"This humble servant pays her respects to King Xiao."

Her voice was gentle and clear, like a nightingale's song, which made King Xiao's originally gloomy heart feel much better.

No need for formalities.

King Xiao raised his hand slightly.

Then, the servants moved a stool for Su Wanshi to sit down.

"May I ask what brings Miss Su here today?"

King Xiao asked, a slight smile on his face, showing no trace of his previous sinister expression.

"Your Highness, I wish to inform you of some recent developments of the Prince of Chu."

Su Wanshi glanced at Prince Xiao ambiguously, then said softly.

She knew that Prince Xiao had been injured before, and thought that his injury would be serious and affect his appearance, but she did not expect him to recover so quickly.

That's wonderful!

It seems that Chu Yun was the most unlucky one in the last incident. She had inquired privately and found out that Chu Yun was not only disfigured but also lost an arm, and now he looks like a monster.

Today she noticed that Prince Xiao was treating her differently. She guessed it was probably because he was disgusted by Chu Yun's awful appearance, which was why he was treating her this way.

Thinking about it this way, she realized that she had done the right thing last time!

"Oh? What has the King of Chu been doing lately?"

King Xiao asked with great interest.

"The King of Chu is planning to make a move against the Crown Princess. Yesterday, my brother and his men went to see the King of Chu and gave him an idea to ruin the Crown Princess."

"Yeah?"

Suppressing his excitement, King Xiao continued, "What idea?"

Recently, he and Chu Yun were harmed by Su Liluo, and he hated her to death. However, he was seriously injured and his strength was damaged in the previous period, so he has not found a suitable opportunity to take revenge.

Now that he suddenly hears that Xiao Churen is going to deal with Su Liluo and the others, how could he not be happy?

"It's like this..."

Su Wanshi recounted in detail what she had overheard yesterday about Xiao Churen and Su Lianwu's secret plot to Prince Xiao.

King Xiao listened with curiosity at first, then his expression grew more and more joyful, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

I have to say, Su Lianwu and his group do have some brains!

King Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"This method is indeed good. If we can bring down the Crown Princess, that would be wonderful. Otherwise, with her around, not only will I be constantly hampered, but it will also affect you."

"I've heard that the former Crown Princess always enjoyed bullying you. I hope the Prince of Chu and his group succeed this time."

King Xiao looked at Su Wanshi with deep affection.

Hearing that Prince Xiao was concerned about her, Su Wanshi lowered her head shyly.

"Your Highness, I am fine. It was you who were so badly injured last time that I was so worried and distressed!"

Su Wanshi seized the opportunity and quietly extended her hand to shake hands with Prince Xiao.

Now that she's with the King of Chu, she knows that to win a man's favor, sometimes you have to take the initiative.

If I had taken the initiative earlier, I wouldn't have suffered such a great loss at the hands of the King of Chu, allowing Qi Yinyin to seize the initiative.

Therefore, she will not be as reserved with Prince Xiao as before; she will seize any opportunity that comes her way.

King Xiao looked down at Su Wanshi's outstretched hand, a hint of coldness hidden in his smiling eyes.

Although he found Su Wanshi more agreeable today, it didn't mean he was willing to touch a woman like her. In his eyes, Su Wanshi was the King of Chu's woman, which made her defiled to him.

He naturally looked down on her, but then he thought that Su Wanshi was actually quite useful, and he would need her for many things in the future, so he couldn't go too far.

So he didn't refuse, but instead held her hand tightly.

Xiao Wang's hands were twice the size of Su Wanshi's. His large, well-defined hands enveloped her delicate hands, gently caressing them, which stirred Su Wanshi's heart.

But at this ambiguous moment, a sharp, angry female voice suddenly came from the corridor next to them.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
