ooking at him.Who was this man How beautifulBeneath sharp eyebrows were deep black pupils. The wind blew the strands of hair on his forehead up and down; a few strands of black hair occasionally slid...Chapter Fifteen: The Unruly Little White Rabbit (Part 2)

However, since Feng Changqing ascended the throne, he has had countless concubines in his harem, each more beautiful and talented than the last. But despite this, Feng Changqing never bestowed the title of Empress upon any of them; those who gained favor did so for only a short while, with no one ever maintaining their position for longer than a month. However, Lan'er, also known as Consort Lan, was an exception.

Unfortunately, even though she enjoyed imperial favor and managed the harem, she remained merely a concubine and never attained the status of Empress.

Feng Changqing had grown tired of such pleasantries and paid them no heed. He rose to his feet and looked towards White Tiger Mountain, with the desire to visit it growing stronger by the moment.

"I have already said that regardless of what you say, I will still refuse. Even if you kill me, I shall continue to refuse." Qi Lin stared determinedly at Zi Yin; she had made up her mind and would never involve herself in the struggles for power or the imperial throne throughout her life.

She didn't want to lose her body and her heart as well.

Zi Yin originally thought that women who were afraid of death would be the easiest to persuade, but he never expected Qi Lin's stubbornness to exceed his imagination. He had seen uncooperative women before, but he had never encountered one as unyielding as Qi Lin.

Hadn't they just been chatting in a very relaxed manner Could it be that he misunderstood her

"I am not asking for your opinion; I am telling you that you have no other choice." Zi Yin had already lost all patience. He had given Qi Lin enough time to make a decision, but now this unpredictable woman had completely worn out his patience.

The anger in his eyes erupted fully. Zi Yin was frustrated to the point of wanting to grind his teeth, yet Qi Lin still maintained an expression as if she were prepared to die rather than yield, entirely different from how she was earlier.

Zi Lin glared back fiercely and said, "Hmph, I didn’t seek your opinion. Instead, I was telling you that this lady would rather die than yield."

Hahaha, she finally said it! She had long wanted to say these words, especially when looking at those wealthy young masters who shower money like leaves. She no longer wished to flatter them and instead desired to refute them sternly. Who knew that today she could actually say this to a prince Wahahaha.

Would rather die than yield! What an ironclad resolve. Zi Yan squinted his eyes as he looked at Zi Lin; despite the fear in her eyes, she still managed to utter such resolute words. Truly like a naive little white rabbit that hasn’t seen a big gray wolf.

Zi Lin felt black before her eyes and fainted onto a rock without warning. Soon after, she felt the weight of Zi Yan’s body pressing down on hers with no gap left between them, and saw up close his handsome face. Very pleasing to the eye, but now was not the time to think about this. Zi Lin steadied her breath and tried her best to push away Zi Yan, only to find that this guy had an astonishing amount of strength.

Zi Yan suddenly grabbed Zi Lin’s hand and raised it above her head while his body tightly pinned hers down, leaving no space between them. The rhythm of their heartbeats intertwined.

This situation made Qi Lin recall that night. Suddenly, Qi Lin wondered if this Zi Yin was the man from that night. Could it be him Would it be him Qi Lin's heart began to stir with excitement; perhaps all these days she had been waiting for a chance to see that man again.

Could it be The man who took her virginity, is he this prince

Cursed. Qi Lin felt tears well up in her eyes, blurring her vision. She forced herself not to cry.

Hmm Zi Yin looked at Qi Lin with confusion. A moment ago she was ready to face death bravely, but now why is she about to cry This damn woman, if she's going to cry, then do it properly; holding back her tears isn't crying!

"Qi Lin, I will ask you one last time: Do you choose life or death Listen well, this prince never shows mercy to anyone, not even women. What I told you before was my sincerity in seeking loyal followers, but once that sincerity is exhausted, there remains only the intent to kill. Since you cannot serve me, I must eliminate you to prevent future troubles."ss Peony has left."This was expected. But Qi Lin couldn’t help asking, "Was she in pain when she left""She was in great pain," said Green Bamboo quietly. When she saw the state of Miss Peony then, she...
