Volume 1 Chapter 72 I Don't Like You

  The horse carriage began to move slowly.

  Inside the carriage, it was quiet and still. Qin Luoyi and Chu Yixiu sat opposite each other, clearly feeling two piercing gazes fixed on her.

  She carelessly raised her eyes and took a glance, only to find that Chu Yixiu's entire face was shrouded in shadows, with only his pitch-black eyes flickering between light and darkness, quietly gazing at her.

  Qin Luo Yi looked at him, Chu Yu Xiu suddenly stood up and moved to her side, sitting down next to her. The distance between them instantly became very close, so close that Qin Luo Yi could hear his breathing and smell a special sandalwood scent on him.

  She pursed her thin lips and leaned her body slightly to one side, with a look of obvious estrangement and indifference on her pretty face.

  Chu Yixiu's eyes dimmed, and a dark tide surged at the bottom of her pupils. Since Qin Luoyi lost his memory, she had been treating herself as if she were a different person, with an unusual coldness.

  Was what Qin Luohan said all true?

  At first, she bumped her head and killed herself. Wasn't it because the veil was blown off in public, revealing her true face to everyone? But because she took **Hepu powder**, didn't want to be humiliated by others, so she committed suicide?

  Chu Yixiu's face no longer had its usual gentle calmness, his deep black eyes stared unblinkingly at her beautiful and crystal-clear face, a hint of daze flashing across his face.

  If what Qin Luohan said was true...... then how did Qin Luyi survive?

  He didn't dare think about it!

  But can't help but think about it!

  For the past two days, he had been in the Wang Manor, unable to eat or sleep well. As soon as he closed his eyes, Qin Luohan's words would echo in his mind, like a spell that he couldn't shake off.

  After the Zhu Mei incident, Zhen Nan Wang has been in a bad mood for several days. Every day, he has an icy face and looks like he doesn't want to be approached by anyone. Few people dare to come near him, and he only sees them briefly during court sessions.

  Today I heard that Qin Luo Yi rode a horse carriage out of the mansion and went to Mingyue Pavilion, he immediately prepared his horse and rushed over... There are some things, if not clarified, he would always feel uneasy in his heart.

  "Yi'er, that day at Xiangguo Temple, it frightened you." Chu Yixiu gazed at her for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, his voice low and husky. As he spoke, he reached out to grasp Qin Luyi's jade-like hand resting on her knee.

  Qin dropped his clothes, eyes bright and hands quick, sensing his intention. He immediately raised his hand, smoothed the hair on his forehead, gave him a sideways glance, and said lightly: "Nothing, it's all in the past."

  In her heart, she sneered coldly, did this man think he was comforting her now?

  She was more than just startled.

  If she really took the path of Qin Luo Han's mother and daughter, being abused, the one who would have no face to live in this world would be her. If it were true, would this man, her nominal fiancé, still sit by her side trying to comfort her?

  Hehe.

  I'm afraid it's not just that they won't come to comfort her, but also secretly curse her to die sooner.

  Only when she died would he not take a woman who had lost her chastity, otherwise her father Wu Sheng was there, and on the day of the wedding, even if it was a withered flower, marrying her would be ridiculed by the world, and he would have to marry her anyway!

  He ran into a soft nail and Chu Yixiu's handsome face flashed with a hint of gloom.

  She pursed her thin lips, let out a sigh, and a beautiful, unfeigned smile spread across her face: "Yes, it's already passed... Fortunately, it has passed! The person who wanted to harm you also got the retribution they deserved." She paused for a moment before continuing: "Yī ér, last time you hit your head, it's been almost half a year now. Doctor Huá said that the memories you lost should slowly come back to you. Have you remembered anything from before?"

  Qin Luo leaned back slightly, lazily reclining against the rear cushion of the carriage, a hint of a smile on his face: "Past events? What are you referring to? Perhaps if you remind me, I'll be able to recall."

  Chu Yixiu's smile froze on his face, and his eyes flickered. Qin Luoyi's gaze was clear and bright, and being looked at by her made him feel like she could see all the secrets in his heart.

  He leaned in closer, his hot breath brushing against her ear as he chuckled and said: "I hope Yier remembers... the feelings she had for me before. Yier, seeing you like this makes me feel uncomfortable, in a few more days we'll be married, are you going to remain so distant from me even after we get married?"

  As he said this, a hint of playful teasing appeared in his good-looking eyes, and a subtle ambiguous atmosphere began to circulate inside the carriage.

  "Does my current appearance make you uncomfortable?" Qin Luo Yi heard this and seemed to have heard a very funny joke, her bright face lit up with a radiant smile, and she burst out laughing: "Do you like the way I used to follow you around like a tail? Third Prince, what I've heard is not that, right!"

  Chu Yixiu was laughed at by her, but her rarely revealed absolutely beautiful smile in front of him made his heart beat faster, and a strange desire arose in his heart. He explained lightly: "In the past, we didn't have any relationship, so I naturally didn't like it when someone kept asking about my whereabouts and following me around. But now it's different... The Emperor has already granted us marriage, if you still want to be like before, I won't object."

  Your mind is really quick!

  Qin Luoyi smiled to herself, batting her long eyelashes to cover up the ridicule and disdain that flashed in her eyes. If Qin Luoyi was still the same as before, would he have said something like this?

  Although everyone has a mind to love beauty, his change is also too big! Moreover, it's not just about finding a grand reason for one's own change.

  This man's mouth... tsk tsk, indeed has some skills, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make Shangguan Qiuyu of the Divine Doctor Valley fall for him.

  There's also Du Yucui, his beautiful cousin, who has deep feelings for him. Last time, she and her brother even tried to take her life. It's been a long time since I've seen them, it seems that woman should have already known her identity by now.

  "Ah, I see!" Qin Luo's smile faded a bit as he gazed at his pale and handsome face. He said calmly: "Unfortunately, I've already forgotten everything that happened before. Last time was also a close call, wandering around the gates of hell. Yesterday's events are like yesterday's death, I won't force myself to remember."

  Chu Yixiu's face changed, his eyes uncertain, staring at her for a moment before slowly saying: "In that case, if you can't remember, then forget it. Anyway, in the future... we have plenty of time."

  After getting married, as long as he is willing, he has confidence that it won't take much time to make the woman in front of him like him again.

  Qin Luo Yi curved her lips and hummed a cold tune to herself.

  She's determined to marry him? Don't dream on! Qin Luo will not marry anyone in this lifetime, cultivating and becoming stronger, traveling freely around the world is her ultimate goal in life!

  Men, few of them are good!

  This Chu Yixiu is also!

  She had previously suspected it, but now she was 80% sure that he would follow the imperial edict and marry her, all because of the relationship with the King of Southern Town!

  This man's ambition is not small, since Jian Yuyan came to the capital, he got acquainted with him and often went to find him, pulling relationships with him, hoping to get the support of the Jian family.

  Of course, he is a clever person and speaks very implicitly. He also believes that Jian Yuyan, who is equally clever, can understand the implication of his words.

  His maternal family, the Du family, was not weak to begin with. The emperor had no empress, and Xiangui Fei was favored above all others in the harem, her power was not insignificant. Now there was also a divine doctor from the Valley of Medicine, Shangguan Qiuyu, who liked him.

  Even though she knew that her engagement with him could not be dissolved, she still lingered in the capital, occasionally entering the palace to concoct some beauty and longevity elixirs, and sharing some gossip from the cultivation world, trying to curry favor with Empress Dowager and Noble Consort by various means, everyone on the street knows what's on her mind.

  King Zhen Nan was also barely able to conceal his anger when he mentioned this matter in the palace. However, on the Holy Dragon Continent, it's quite common for ordinary men to have three wives and four concubines. Not to mention a prince of a large country, one main wife, three secondary wives, is the imperial family's long-standing rule, not to mention countless other concubines... The third prince, Chu Yuxiu, was a dragon among men, and it was impossible for him to guard his daughter alone in the future.

  If his predecessor hadn't died, this man would have had some unusual ideas. Without him saying much, that infatuated woman would definitely support him with all her might. Gu Yanzheng, looking at his daughter's situation, was also afraid of supporting him. (In fact, Qin Luoyi suspected that Gu Yanzheng had been bought off by him long ago.)

  Needless to say, Du's family is even more so.

  "It's just unexpected that Qin Luo Han and her mother are such despicable people... Last time your forehead was injured, I'm afraid they're also involved." Chu Yi Xiu gazed at her with a deep and angry gaze, his eyes filled with indignation and disgust.

  "I said, I don't remember what happened before." Qin Luo's expression didn't change as he looked at him and said calmly.

  That day, after leaving Xiangguo Temple, Chu Yifeng found an opportunity to tell her that Qin Luohan had already told her about the **He Huan San incident in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple, forcing her to commit suicide. He also regretted not finding out earlier that Qin Luohan was the murderer, otherwise he would have solved it for her long ago...

  She thought Chu Yixiu was indeed patient enough, and for the sake of marrying her, he endured even after hearing such news. Haha, it seems she overestimated him after all.

  Chu Yixiu couldn't see anything from her face, so he changed the subject and stopped asking. However, there was always a hint of doubt and gloom in his eyes.

  "Brother! Are you in there?" Suddenly, a somewhat familiar clear shout came from outside the horse carriage.

  The horse carriage slowed down.

  Chu Yifeng lifted the curtain and looked at the delicate girl in pink standing outside the carriage, smiling and nodding to her: "Cousin, where are you going?"

  "Brother, it's really you! That's great. Auntie asked us to go into the palace together. I was just thinking of looking for you, and unexpectedly saw your carriage." Du Yu Die's face was full of joy, with a big smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with delight at seeing the one she loved.

  Chu Yifeng didn't invite her to come up, his lips curled into a smile, his voice low and full of magnetism: "I still have something to do, I can only enter the palace later, Die'er, you go first."

  Du Yucui was taken aback, her eyes flashing as she gazed through the lifted curtain to see a woman sitting beside her brother. Her heart skipped a beat as she took a closer look, and to her surprise, it was Qin Luoyi, the Princess of Anping.

  A flash of jealousy in her eyes.

  She smiled with a thousand charms and said, "Brother, do you still have something to take care of? I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you." After finishing speaking, she walked over, lifted the curtain, and jumped into the carriage.

  Chu Yixiu slightly furrowed her brow, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but ultimately she did not rebuke her and did not drive her out of the carriage.

  Du Yu Die sat down, seemingly only just discovering Qin Luo Yi's presence, and exclaimed in surprise: "So it's actually Miss Qin! Brother-in-law, so you're together with Miss Qin? Is the matter you want to handle related to Miss Qin?"

  Chu Yixiu nodded and said: "Die'er, this is the Princess of Anping." He directly told her Qin Luoyi's identity.

  Du Yu's eyes widened in shock, filled with incredulity: "Qin Niang, so you're actually the Princess of Anping! Haha, it turns out that the rumors were indeed different from reality. No wonder last time we met at Xianling Square, my brother didn't recognize you. I heard...last time when the King of Zhen Nan was enthroned, my brother saw Qin Niang's true face."

  Ruthlessly poking at her sore spot.

  Chu Yixiu's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, and he glared at his cousin.

  He knew that the last time in Xianling Square, the two of them had a falling out over Ziliu's Purple Spirit Mushroom. He had deliberately pointed out Qin Luoyi's identity just now, wanting to make his arrogant cousin-in-law take it easy, but he didn't expect her to be so uncooperative.

  "Butterfly." The low voice carried a hint of warning.

  "Of course!" Du Yutong pouted, not feeling like she had said anything wrong: "Princess Anping, tell me, who exactly healed your face? He's really got skills. That divine doctor from the Valley of Medicine, Shangguan Qiuyu, is always going into the palace to concoct beauty pills for my aunt, and now my aunt only likes her and not me anymore... I don't believe she's that amazing... Once I find out who healed Princess Anping's face, I'll definitely have a competition with her and see if she dares to be so arrogant in the future."

  Du Yu Die obviously didn't think much of Shang Guan Qiu Yu either, and when mentioning Shang Guan Qiu Yu's name, she gritted her teeth with a face full of jealousy.

  Qin Luo's lips curled up with a faint smile, and he wasn't provoked by her words. In his heart, he was sneering at Du Yuxiang, who must have already known her identity. Earlier, she had pretended to be surprised, and last time, she had ruthlessly tried to take his life along with his brother, but now she was acting as if nothing had happened. Truly, her cunning was deep, not to be underestimated.

  "What a pity! I don't even know his name. It was just an accidental encounter, and at the time, I didn't take it seriously either. I just had a try-and-see attitude."

  Du Yu's butterfly-like energy solidified, and she hummed softly: "Anping Junzhu, aren't you afraid that he won't be able to refine the elixir for your aunt, so you didn't say anything?"

  "Enough!" Seeing her becoming more and more unreasonable, Chu Yixiu frowned and lightly scolded: "The princess should know that it's all been said before. There's no benefit to hiding anything. Don't spout nonsense, especially when we're about to enter the palace."

  She slightly tilted her head, looked at Qin Luo Yi and gave her a reassuring glance to put her mind at ease. Qin Luo Yi didn't care at all, with a smile on the corner of her lips, she was calm and composed.

  "Alright, I don't know and that's it. Brother Biao, why are you scolding me? You never scolded me before." Du Yu Die looked wronged, her bright and beautiful eyes gazing at him with a pitiful expression: "I just can't stand the sight of Shangguan Qiuyu's smug face."

  Chu Yixiu felt a slight headache and glared at her again.

  Du Yu Die didn't dare to really anger him, although she was a bit willful, she wasn't foolish. Angering her brother-in-law wouldn't do her any good. Moreover, there was also Qin Luo Yi here, who would soon be marrying into the household as his legitimate wife in a few days. She couldn't let this woman laugh at her.

  Her eyes rolled, the feigned grievance on her face dissipated, and she looked at Qin Luoyi. The coldness in her black pupils flashed by: "Brother-in-law, I heard you went to Mingyue Pavilion today. Did Princess Anping also go to Mingyue Pavilion, so you met together?"

  Chu Yixiu did not deny it.

  Du Yu Die said, seemingly unintentionally: "I've run into Qin Gongzhu and Jian Shaozhu of Mingyue Pavilion together several times. Are the princess and Jian Shaozhu very familiar? Jian Shaozhu wasn't from our Chu country before, Princess, when did you get to know Jian Shaozhu?"

  Chu Yixiu's heart skipped a beat. Du Yu Die asked the same questions he wanted to know, especially after hearing Qin Luohan's words that day.

  He slightly turned his head, his dark eyes gazing at Qin Luoyi, a faint smile on his face. However, if one looked closely, it wasn't hard to see that the smile hadn't reached his eyes.

  Du Yucui saw it and was secretly pleased. Her eyes stared at Qin Luoyi without blinking.

  Qin Luo Yi swept a glance over the two of them, taking in their unusual expressions. She smiled and said, "We're not very familiar, just acquaintances by chance. I'm quite interested in the talismans from Ming Yue Pavilion." After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Du Yu Die again.

  "You also know that I don't have a way to cultivate spiritual power, and when I go out, I often encounter some unpleasant things. So whenever I have time, I think of going to the Mingyue Pavilion to buy some powerful talismans for self-protection. Last time, I encountered several Xiao Jiaolong, but thanks to Jian Shaozhu's talisman, it saved my life."

  Du Yu's butterfly heart skipped a beat, her face turned somewhat pale, hearing this, she was really afraid that Qin Luo would say something else.

  Chu Yixiu's face turned cold, and he thought of the time Crown Prince Chu Yiwind sent her back to the Zhen Nan Wang Fu. It turned out that apart from that time, Yī'er had also encountered danger, including the trip to Xiang Guo Temple, and it was fortunate that she had the talisman given by Zhen Nan Wang on her body, which allowed her to escape disaster.

  The last time they bullied her, the prince took action and soon investigated their crimes and found the sister of that little boy. Although she was tortured very badly, she still had a breath left, and the people were caught and punished. In addition to other cases, one of the main culprits was sentenced to death, and the others were exiled to extremely cold places, receiving the punishment they deserved.

  Thinking of this, he took out a five-stage talisman from the storage ring and put it in Qin Luo's hand: "Yi'er, you take this, when you're in danger, just take this out."

  She took out two more firework-like cylinders, very similar to the signal fireworks that Du Leng Ye's subordinates had used when she killed them: "In an emergency, just press this and I'll hurry over as soon as possible."

  In his opinion, Qin Luoyi, as the Princess of Anping and the daughter of the King of Zhen Nan, was accustomed to high-ranking talismans worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. When she went to Mingyue Pavilion, she would at most buy some second or third-grade talismans. Today, he gave her a fifth-grade talisman, which would not only move her deeply but also prevent her from being so cold to him next time.

  Du Yucui saw those two things, her eyes were a little red, and she was both resentful and jealous. Such precious things, her brother actually gave them to this damn woman! Even she... her brother had always doted on her, but he had never given her such valuable things.

  There's also the signal firework, this is something that can summon all of Big Brother's hidden guards. As long as this thing appears, within a minute at most, someone will definitely arrive! Big Brother is really too good to this woman!

  Qin Luo's gaze fell on her hand, where two things were held. Originally, she didn't want to accept them, but seeing Du Yuzhe's expression, she suddenly changed her mind. This woman would definitely send people to deal with her again, and when that time came, haha, she could use this talisman to deal with her! For now, she said: "A fifth-grade talisman? This thing is too precious, I can't accept it!"

  Chu Yixiu insisted on letting her accept it, and after pushing it away two or three times, Qin Luoyi finally reluctantly accepted it.

  Looking at her very reluctant appearance, Du Yutiao was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She looked at her brother-in-law, who actually looked very pleased because he had sent out these two things... This made her even more heartbroken.

  Arrived at the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, Chu Yi Xiu did not leave immediately, but instead let the horse carriage drive into the Wang Fu, the future uncle had arrived, and it was the third imperial son, someone had already reported his arrival.

  Zhen Nan Wang personally went out to greet him and saw that Chu Yi Xiu was sending Qin Luo Yi back, a smile finally appeared on his face which had been cold for several days.

  The two went to the study room and left Du Yuzhe to Qin Luoyi for hospitality.

  Qin Luo Yi didn't bother to tidy herself up, and after her father and Chu Yu Xiu left, she turned around and walked away too, leaving Du Yu Die in the care of a house full of servant girls.

  Du Yu's face turned ugly as he chased after him.

  She stopped Qin Luo in the deserted forest, slightly raised her chin and sneered: "The young lady seems to not like me very much?"

  Qin Luo Yi hooked her lips into a smile: "Indeed, I don't like it!" She wasn't an idiot, who would like someone who wanted her life? Unless she didn't want to live anymore.

  Du Yu Xiang coldly smiled: "I don't like you either! However... from now on, we'll be family, and no matter how much we dislike each other, we'll still see each other every day. Junzhu being so aloof, isn't that a bit impolite to the guest?"

  "Will we be a family later?" Qin Luo's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "I know you are the prince's cousin, but even if you are his cousin, it doesn't make sense for you to live in the palace every day, does it? How would I see you every day? Besides, hospitality is only for guests, and I don't think I invited you to the palace, did I? My parents didn't invite you either... What kind of guest are you supposed to be? In our Town South Palace, we can't find any relatives with the surname Du!"

  Du Yu Die's pretty face suddenly turned iron-green: "Qin Luo Yi you..." Her chest heaved violently, glaring fiercely at her. After a moment, she regained some calmness, still rational and aware that this was the Town South King's mansion, where she couldn't attack Qin Luo Yi.

  "Perhaps the county master doesn't know yet? My aunt has already agreed to let my cousin marry me as a concubine, and after you get married, he will also marry me, County Master... Tell me, won't we be seeing each other every day then?"
