On the surface, you're well-behaved, but in reality, you have a rebellious bone, right?

"Wuwuwu... Huang-jie, I'm so scared, no one can help me, and you're the only one!"

"Huang-jie, you won't leave me, will you? If that's the case, I'll really have no hope!"

Su Qing's casualness from just now vanished almost instantly, replaced by a pitiful, weak, and helpless demeanor.

The beautiful youth revealed a look of disappointment, the melancholy he displayed enough to stir one's sympathy.

Even the most aloof unattainable beauty couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion at this moment.

Several strange thoughts surfaced in Jun Huang's mind.

Was my approach a bit too drastic, scaring him?

Were my words too harsh just now, making him believe them?

For a moment, she actually felt a twinge of guilt.

But she quickly regained her senses, taking a deep breath.

"Don't try any tricks with me, I wouldn't bother with you if it weren't for your Elder Sister."

"And don't put on that act, I don't fall for it!"

The golden-haired princess sternly warned in a very impatient tone.

Su Qing nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.

"From now on, all your actions must be under my command, and I can guarantee your safety."

Jun Huang looked at the boy's obedient appearance, her tone softening slightly.

"No."

Su Qing shook his head decisively.

"Okay, you... you don't want to?! Brat, don't be so ungrateful!"

Jun Huang belatedly realized what had happened, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He refused?

What does this mean? Obedient on the surface but rebellious at heart, is that it?!

Her slender, straight legs couldn't help but move forward.

The high heels clicked against the ground, making a crisp sound.

Clearly, she preferred stepping on someone rather than the ground.

"Huang-jie, I already have a plan."

Su Qing explained.

He had no intention of being stepped on a few times; he didn't have that kind of fetish.

For things like this, he should take the initiative himself.

"With you?"

Jun Huang's eyes held a hint of contempt as she retorted.

She didn't believe a word the young man said.

After all, they had been together for more than just a day or two; how could she not know his background?

Whether it was his personality or his talent, both could only be described as mediocre.

To talk about countermeasures or anything of the sort was simply laughable.

Su Qing gasped when he saw that expression.

Hiss!!

That look that begged to be disciplined... made him want to pin her to the bed and give her a good spanking!

But thoughts were one thing; he couldn't say such things out loud just yet.

He believed it wouldn't be long before he had the chance...

"The Realm Protectorate is now in a dilemma, but breaking the deadlock is actually quite simple."

"Everyone has mistaken the root cause; the key isn't in the Tang State Residence at all, nor is it in this overwhelming public opinion."

"The only thing that needs to be cared about is one person's thoughts."

Su Qing patiently explained.

In a situation where imperial power was concentrated, one person's heart was the heart of thousands.

The rights and wrongs of the Tang State Residence's affairs were fundamentally unimportant.

The Yan Emperor's happiness was the most important thing.

As long as he could make the emperor happy and satisfied, what did the current turmoil matter?

"I naturally understand this, but I can't even fathom Father Emperor's thoughts."

Jun Huang instantly understood and said.

Her eyes held a hint of doubt, clearly still not believing him.

While the words were true, and the reasoning was sound, it wasn't so easy to achieve.

Father Emperor was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, doing everything according to his whims.

If she couldn't do it, could he?

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't."

Su Qing said in a serious tone.

Jun Huang didn't speak, simply crossed her arms, the doubt in her eyes still lingering.

"I have confidence in myself and have already planned to give it a try."

"Since you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

Su Qing said with a confident smile on his face.

"What do you want to bet?"

Jun Huang's interest was piqued by these words.

"Naturally, it's whether I can succeed or not. As for the stakes, it's a request."

"No matter what the request is, you have to fulfill it, how about it?"

Su Qing said with interest.

If he wanted to find a breakthrough point, this was naturally the best opportunity.

"This..."

Jun Huang hesitated.

It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in herself, but this kind of bet was a bit too big.

As a cautious person, she generally wouldn't agree to such a bet.

"If it's not possible, then forget it. It's understandable that Huang-jie doesn't have confidence in herself."

Su Qing said in a very straightforward tone.

There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and he obviously didn't intend to say more.

"Huh?! I don't have confidence in myself? I have even less confidence in you!"

"Boy, since you insist on it, I won't refuse you."

How could Jun Huang withstand such goading? She immediately said.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't have agreed to such a bet.

But since it was her best friend's younger brother, it wouldn't hurt to teach him a lesson.

The corners of Su Qing's mouth curled up in a smile.

He was very much looking forward to the moment when she reluctantly fulfilled the bet.

Jun Huang walked out of the room in a daze, leaving the Realm Protectorate.

After being blown by the cold wind outside, she regained a little composure.

After thinking about her experience just now, an idea came to her mind.

She felt like she had been tricked... He seemed to be very confident.

Could it be that he really has a way?

If he has a way, what should she do?

On the one hand, she hoped that he could solve this matter.

On the other hand, she didn't want him to solve it because of the bet.

Conflicting feelings lingered in her heart, leaving the princess unsure of what to feel.

He's just a stinky little brother, am I overthinking it?

It's just that the other party's changes seem to be really significant.

Jun Huang began to recall this younger brother's cowardly behavior from childhood to adulthood.

At that time, he was quite afraid of her, never daring to meet her eyes directly.

Every time she glanced at him a few times, he would hide behind her good friend.

But what about today?

When facing her, he didn't show even a hint of fear.

Not only that, but he kept staring at her legs.

That burning gaze was not concealed at all.

Especially when talking about the subsequent bet, that strange feeling reached its peak.

The golden-haired princess sitting in the carriage quietly straightened her straight, beautiful legs.

This was the first time in her life that she had been stared at so directly by a member of the opposite sex, and it was still that little brat she had watched for so many years.

He really had some nerve; she would keep this debt in mind for now.

If he recklessly messed things up, she would still have to step in to help.

If he really couldn't find a way to get her people out, she would definitely stomp him to death!
