Soon, Feng Qiwu personally escorted Bai Susu back to the Bai Mansion. Then, in front of the housekeeper, he left the mansion gate.
But as soon as he turned his head to the dark alley, he left the carriage and returned to the Bai Mansion, skillfully making his way onto the rooftop of Bai Susu’s room.
Bai Susu knew he would come back later, so after she returned, she hadn’t locked the doors or windows at all.
However, as soon as the light was on inside the room, Chuntao and Nuoxia keenly noticed the swelling on her lips.
For a moment, Chuntao couldn’t help but sigh lightly, "Miss, you and the Crown Prince should get married soon, otherwise... the way you’re doing things, sooner or later the Prime Minister will notice."
It’s not that she had sharp eyes, it’s just that after Miss finishes her intimate moments with the Crown Prince, the changes are too obvious to ignore.
The Prime Minister is such a clever person, once he notices something amiss, he will definitely figure it out.
When that time comes, the Prime Minister will surely be angry and upset with Miss.
Hearing Chuntao’s teasing, Bai Susu couldn’t help but blush.
"Is it that obvious?" Bai Susu couldn’t help but reach out and touch her lips.
Uh, they seem to be much more swollen?
Looks like next time she would have to restrain herself a bit when kissing Feng Qiwu.
Nuoxia also hurriedly nodded at this point, "Of course, it’s so obvious under candlelight, during the daytime it would be even more noticeable."
Initially, when they saw Miss being kissed by the Crown Prince to such a state, the two of them would feel embarrassed.
But now, they’ve gotten used to it, and they think about ways to help Miss reduce the swelling and cover it up.
Bai Susu immediately coughed lightly and then said, "I know, next time I will restrain myself."
After she finished speaking, Chuntao and Nuoxia immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Bai Susu with some surprise.
What does Miss mean by this?
Shouldn’t the one who needs restraint be the Crown Prince?
Isn’t she supposed to be the passive one?
Seeing their incredulous gaze, Bai Susu quickly explained, "I mean I will remind His Highness to be more mindful."
Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Just at this moment, Feng Qiwu’s voice sounded, "What should Susu remind me to be mindful about?"
Seeing Feng Qiwu coming over, Chuntao and Nuoxia quickly said to Bai Susu, "Miss, then we’ll take our leave."
"Mm, go ahead. You both should also rest early." Bai Susu nodded.
After the two left the inner room, Bai Susu gazed at Feng Qiwu with a hint of grievance and said, "Isn’t it because you kissed my lips so swollen? Fortunately, it’s late at night, otherwise, if it were daytime, it would definitely be noticed."
Feng Qiwu listened and immediately laughed, "I understand, it’s my fault."
Seeing Feng Qiwu so straightforwardly admit his mistake, Bai Susu naturally had nothing more to say.
Then, not mentioning this matter anymore, she asked about Qi Hao.
Feng Qiwu stepped up and embraced Bai Susu’s body, walking towards the bed. After pulling down the bed curtain, he said to Bai Susu, "Actually, it’s quite simple. Isn’t there a lot of strange cultivation techniques in Witch Doctor Gu He’s Star Ring? I picked out a Soul Control Technique from those unconventional methods."
"After Qi Hao drank the spiked wine, his every move could naturally be controlled by me."
Hearing this, Bai Susu’s eyes widened instantly.
"Soul Control Technique? You can already use those cultivation techniques?"
This really is enough to make people envious.
She had just now figured out what Star Power was all about, just started her basic cultivation, and Feng Qiwu could already use a cultivation technique.
The world of geniuses is indeed terrifying, not something ordinary people like her can easily compare to.
Seeing Bai Susu’s gaze so full of admiration and shock, the invisible tail behind Feng Qiwu immediately perked up.
Being admired and revered by a woman he likes, this feeling is truly wonderful.
Yet Feng Qiwu remained humble, saying, "It’s not a particularly difficult thing. With your talent, you could surely use it just like me after a glance."
After speaking, he took out a manual from the Star Ring and handed it to Bai Susu.
"Here it is, the only troublesome thing is that this manual requires the user to have high spiritual power," Feng Qiwu said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu immediately reached out to take the manual, quickly scanning through it.
Then, twitching her lips, she said to Feng Qiwu, "You call this a manual that can be used after just a glance? Shu Kuang, you really do overestimate me."
Though Witch Doctor Gu He said she had a special constitution, with great talent in cultivation, achieving twice the results with half the effort.
But she was quite aware she wasn’t some wise and brilliant prodigy.
At most... she was just a slightly talented genius.
However, there are barriers and levels between geniuses.
Feng Qiwu’s level of a genius, that’s not in the same league as her.
This guy is definitely at the top of the genius pyramid.
And she, at most, is just at the bottom of the pyramid.
Feng Qiwu seeing Bai Susu say this, raised an eyebrow and said, "I’m not deliberately flattering you, I’m speaking the truth."
Bai Susu couldn’t help but cough lightly, "I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Saying this, she couldn’t help but smile.
Because she suddenly thought, so what if Feng Qiwu is so smart?
Isn’t he now caught in her hands?
And just as the two of them were being lovey-dovey, at the palace banquet venue, Feng Wuchen had already downed several jugfuls of wine.
In such a public setting, he shouldn’t be drinking this much, but due to the frustration bottled up inside, he couldn’t hold back.
Feng Wuchen’s personal eunuch saw he was getting drunk and worried he’d say something inappropriate after drinking, so he immediately called two young eunuchs, "The Third Prince has been working tirelessly for days, and now he’s quite exhausted. Quickly take him to the side hall to rest awhile, prepare some charcoal fire, and bring a few hand-warming stoves. Make sure he doesn’t catch cold."
It’s almost dawn now, even the Emperor couldn’t endure any longer and went to rest in the nearby side hall, let alone others.
Besides, tonight there’s also a sudden gust of night wind, making the chill even heavier.
The Third Prince has been busy with the matters of the myriad nation’s assembly recently, even meals weren’t regular, with great effort given. Now, he must not get sick from the cold.
The most important thing is, the myriad nation’s assembly is now underway, and typically, the Emperor rewards the event’s key organizers after it concludes.
Therefore, both the Third Prince and Eldest Prince wore very striking outfits today, ready to make a good impression in front of foreign envoys.
They must not let the Third Prince, because he was drunk, appear unsightly in front of everyone.
