After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Ye Tantai quietly looked at Su Qingcheng who fainted from shock, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Take good care of the princess."

He said to Dan Mo who was standing by.

"Yes."

Dan Mo was conflicted about this prince.

Before today, she thought that the prince was a gentle, frail and handsome young man. After all, King Yunan was highly praised by the people.

But when she saw Ye Tantai limping back to the room holding the fainted princess, she was frightened by his eyes.

Like a wounded lion, he watched with vigilance all those who came near him.

Wu Ya, who was pretending to be a maid, wanted to take the princess from Ye Tantai, but was rejected by his cold eyes.

That look seemed to say, no one should touch her.

After Ye Tantai left Su Qingcheng's room, he went straight to the secret room and saw a man blindfolded and tied to a cross.

Cousin Su Ruoxi.

After coming out of Puhua Temple, he asked Fu Yi to take the person away quietly while Su Qingcheng was not paying attention.

A cruel smile appeared on Ye Tantai's lips, his slightly narrowed pupils had the light of a predatory beast, and he held a snake pattern dagger in his hand.

"I remember it was your hand that touched her."

"And this one, she touched it accidentally when she was taking your pulse."

Following his words, Ye Tantai raised his hand and placed the knife on the man's right wrist. The man's mouth was blocked and he could only keep making muffled begging for mercy.

He lowered his head and met Ye Tantai's eyes. They were a pair of devilishly terrifying eyes, as if looking at him for one second longer would kill him.

"Hey, why do you have whip marks on your body?"

Ye Tantai saw many unhealed whip marks on the man's body, and his eyes looked more carefully.

He reached out and touched the whip marks, his expression was so gentle. Ye Tantai closed his eyes and imagined how Su Qingcheng would be whipped one after another.

Yes, he knew it on the first day when Su Qingcheng kidnapped someone into Prince Yunan's Mansion.

These wounds are not fatal in any case, but they are extremely painful places.

Su Qingcheng, is there any other side of you that I don't know about?

Ye Tantai thought to himself.

"Bring me my lizard bone whip."

Fu Yi brought up a black whip, Ye Tantai loosened the bones in his hand, put on gold-inlaid black leather gloves, and looked attentive, as if he was doing something sacred.

One whip after another, hitting his original marks with precision.

The new injuries were added to the old ones, and the man soon fainted from the pain.

"Give me some medicine to wake you up."

The words were concise and to the point, a charming woman with dazzling red color walked out of the darkness and fed a pill to the fainted man.

Fu Yi then poured a basin of ice water on it.

The man woke up again in an instant, and Ye Tantai continued to add weight to the scars. He controlled the angle extremely well and covered it accurately every time.

He repeated these processes over and over again until the man couldn't wake up even after taking the medicine and he didn't want to stop.

Fu Yi stepped forward to stop Ye Tantai. He was obviously a little out of control, his eyes were scarlet.

"Your Highness, if you hit me again, you will really die."

Ye Tantai then casually took off his blood-stained gloves, raised his pale and bony fingers and wiped the blood splattered on his face.

He looked like a jade-faced King of Hell who came out of hell.

The people in the basement are already used to it, this is their master's true face.

Cruel enough, strong enough, and perverted.

"Ye Tantai!"

Su Qingcheng woke up with a start. She remembered that she seemed to be in a very dark place, and then she was very scared.

It was Ye Tantai who rescued her.

Fear had made her forget that he had taken her to that place.

"Princess, you are awake. The prince has ordered you to drink this bowl of soothing soup when you wake up."

"Where is the prince?"

"I went out and haven't come back yet."

She raised her head and finished drinking, and her frantic heartbeat calmed down a lot.

"Princess, the master just sent Nanny Song from the palace to come here, but you were still sleeping and she took one look at you and left."

"Mama Song has been here? But what does dad have to explain?"

Grandma Song, the old man left behind by her mother, has always been very kind to her.

Dan Mo blushed, lowered his head and took out a few picture books, "Ms. Song said that I have to go to the next city to do business, which will take at least three to five days and more than a month. She also said... and said..."

"What are you talking about?"

Su Qingcheng looked at the picture book that was stuffed with Dan Mo in her hand. The cover alone was enough to make people blush.

"He said that the prince and princess should learn the postures in the painting. These are passed down by the older generation and are good for pregnancy."

"Mama Song also brought the key to the master's study. There are dozens of similar books at the bottom of the last row of bookshelves. If the princess needs it, she can go get it directly.

Dan Mo closed his eyes tightly and said it loudly.

Su Qingcheng scratched her head, pretended as if nothing had happened, and quickly hid the picture book under her pillow to change the subject.

"Um... did Grandma Song tell me what Daddy was going to do when he went out?"

Su Qingcheng felt hot behind her ears. How could her father do something so embarrassing to her?

"It's been a while."

"Okay, I understand. Help me freshen up and prepare the carriage to go out."

---

Su Ruoxi inquired and found out that Su Qingcang was going to the next city on business in the next few days.

This is her chance.

If you want to regain Fu Xingzhou's protection, you must steal the secret book to him.

She cautiously approached Su Qingcang's study, and was about to push the door open when Su Qingcheng appeared behind her.

"Don't you know that you are not allowed to enter daddy's study without permission?"

Su Ruoxi was startled, then calmed down and said, "Why is sister back again?"

The corner of Su Qingcheng's mouth curled into a sneer, like a poppy blooming.

"This is my home, do you care whether I come back or not? Why are you sneaking around in front of the study door? Are you trying to steal something?"

In the phrase.

Su Ruoxi was a little flustered when her thoughts were poked, "Dad asked me to go inside and get some books to read."

Su Qingcheng smiled and said, "You should really read more books, otherwise you wouldn't do such immoral things."

Su Ruoxi knew that what she was talking about was the annulment of the engagement by the emperor's grandson, and now the whole capital had spread the news that she had two things to do.

"Hmph, it's not your turn to talk about my affairs!" Su Ruoxi said angrily.

Su Qingcheng said with a smile, "Well, it's really not my turn to speak up. Everyone in the capital is saying that I can't be ranked."

"Su Qingcheng, don't go too far!"

"Didn't you just call me sister? How long have you been calling me by name?"

Su Ruoxi was speechless. She was so angry that she stomped her feet to the ground and turned around to leave.

"Don't go. Don't you want to get a book? I happen to have the key to dad's study here. Come on, I'll open the door for you."

This made Su Ruoxi stop.

Daddy was so partial that he gave her the key to the study!

On second thought, she tried every possible means to figure out how to get into the study, and now the key was right in front of her.

As long as Su Qingcheng is not paying attention when he goes in and steals the secret book out, everything will be settled.

And even if his father later discovers that the secret book is missing and refuses to admit it, the fault will definitely fall on Su Qingcheng who holds the key.

"Okay, then open the door for me."
