Chapter 203: Sudden Intrusion
Sun Jiaojiao's eyes lit up again.
But she quickly remembered the Crown Prince's words. Recently, various factions were stirring. Whether in the royal court or the inner palace, dark tides were surging. The Crown Prince, usually arrogant and taciturn, had warned her repeatedly not to leave the residence, to even feign illness to avoid going to the inner palace. Sun Jiaojiao naturally understood the seriousness of the situation.
It wasn't even safe right under the Emperor's nose. If she secretly left the residence to go sightseeing in Xiao Liu's hometown and was opportunistically kidnapped by the Crown Prince's political enemies, she'd not only be a burden to him, but with bad luck, she might even be assassinated.
She had no desire to become a headless, wronged ghost.
Sun Jiaojiao refused without hesitation. "No. The Crown Prince's Residence is heavily guarded, which is good. Who knows how many people out there want my head. I'm not doing something so stupid as to serve it to them."
"I'll protect you..."
As long as Sun Jiaojiao was willing to run away with him, Xiao Liu was willing to protect her with his life.
Before Xiao Liu could finish baring his loyal heart, Sun Jiaojiao completely shut him down with one sentence, nipping his idea in the bud.
"No, I'm trying to get pregnant right now. I don't want to go anywhere."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, striking Xiao Liu on the head. Trying to get pregnant. It seemed Sun Jiaojiao just wanted to play around with him. Her heart was still with the Crown Prince, and she was still thinking about bearing his child...
Then what did that make him?
Xiao Liu's eyes instantly dimmed, and his hands, which had been holding Sun Jiaojiao tightly, unconsciously loosened.
"It was presumptuous of me," Xiao Liu said dejectedly. "It's just the vulgar countryside, nothing fun to see anyway."
"The countryside?"
That made Sun Jiaojiao even less interested.
The capital was already boring enough, let alone some rural place. Sun Jiaojiao had no desire to experience primitive life. She was a 21st-century person. After transmigrating to ancient times, being separated from TV, air conditioning, and her phone had already caused her to break down for a while. She had only just barely adapted. If she were forced to live in the countryside, she'd probably go mad.
"I couldn't get used to the food or lodging in the countryside. No, no, I'm not going."
"Mm..." Xiao Liu's attempt had failed. He was feeling depressed and was about to find a new topic when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He recognized the sound of the Crown Prince returning to the residence. He was so scared he immediately grabbed his clothes and flew up to the ceiling beams.
He had just hidden himself on the beam when he saw the Crown Prince push open the door. He was so frightened he didn't dare to breathe.
"Your Highness..." Sun Jiaojiao quickly grabbed a piece of clothing, got up, and said sweetly, "Why did Your Highness return so suddenly? Didn't you say..."
The Crown Prince's sharp gaze swept around, examining every corner of the room. He questioned Sun Jiaojiao, "Did another man come in here?"
Sun Jiaojiao's expression didn't change, her heart didn't race, but Xiao Liu, up on the beam, was so scared he almost fell.
If he was caught in the act by the Crown Prince, it would be an utter disgrace!
Xiao Liu decided that if the Crown Prince discovered him, he would immediately commit suicide to avoid bringing humiliation upon himself.
Unexpectedly, Sun Jiaojiao got dressed, then slowly and unhurriedly said, "Does a male mosquito count as another man? Why does Your Highness suddenly ask?"
Seeing her acting completely normal, the Crown Prince felt he might have been overthinking.
He pressed his temples and said, "It's nothing. Perhaps I'm just overworked today. Jiaojiao, what were you doing just now?"
Sun Jiaojiao lied shamelessly. "I was wondering when Your Highness would return. I must have fallen asleep while thinking. And Jiaojiao even had a dream, a dream that Your Highness and I had a child."
At the mention of a child, a trace of joy finally appeared on the Crown Prince's face. "Conceiving a child isn't something that can happen in a day or two. Jiaojiao shouldn't be too anxious."
Sun Jiaojiao said coyly, "Jiaojiao wants to bear children for Your Highness soon..."
As she spoke, she boldly and slowly removed her outer robe in front of the Crown Prince, revealing her completely naked body underneath, and looked at him with desire.
From the Crown Prince's perspective, Sun Jiaojiao was looking at him, seducing him.
From Xiao Liu's perspective, how was she looking at the Crown Prince? She was clearly looking at him...
A vein throbbed on Xiao Liu's forehead. Is the Crown Princess going to have sex with the Crown Prince right in front of me?!
