Chapter 170: Extinguishing the Fire
When the Crown Prince received Sun Jiaojiao's message by carrier pigeon, he rushed back to the capital without stopping. When he flew into the Crown Prince's Residence, Sun Jiaojiao, who had been looking melancholic, was like the rainy season finally seeing the bright sun. She leaped up and hugged the Crown Prince tightly, rubbing her face against his chest. "Your Highness is finally back."
The Crown Prince had been rushing for days and missed his delicate wife as well. When Sun Jiaojiao rubbed against him like that, his 'second brother' almost stood at attention. He couldn't help but frown and scold her, "So delicate again. Such a small matter, and you're this panicked."
"Your Highness is Jiaojiao's pillar. When Your Highness is not home, Jiaojiao has no one to rely on…"
"Hmph. This little-woman act of yours might fool Imperial Father, but why are you acting in front of me?" The Crown Prince had seen Sun Jiaojiao act her way out of trouble in the imperial court without batting an eye, which had made him see his woman in a new light. "You already swapped the people out of the celestial prison. You call that 'having no one to rely on'?"
Sun Jiaojiao had been happily groping the Crown Prince, but when she suddenly heard his words, she was secretly alarmed. She had never told the Crown Prince she had already swapped the people out. How did he know?
She suddenly felt as if she were naked in front of the Crown Prince, with no privacy to speak of.
This was no fun. She slid down from the Crown Prince's body, pouting. "I would never dare to deceive the Emperor. That is the crime of deceiving the sovereign."
"You've committed the crime of deceiving the sovereign plenty of times." Seeing her looking deflated made the Crown Prince feel even better. "One of these days, if you displease me, I'll just report you for deceiving the sovereign and execute your nine relations."
"I thought I was getting a helper back, but it turns out I got a judge back." Sun Jiaojiao was very displeased. "Are you going to help this time or not? If you want to help, then help. If not, then forget it!"
In her heart, she knew that the fact he had rushed back meant he was here to help her. But when he spoke like that, she felt a little awkward.
A woman just needs to be coaxed, right?
His Highness the Crown Prince was even more tsundere than a woman. What was this about?
She had already been so proactive in fawning over him, yet he was still giving her attitude. Could it be because she had put too many green hats on his head, and now he was retaliating?
The moment this thought popped into Sun Jiaojiao's head, it exploded.
She turned her head, glanced at the tsundere Crown Prince, and felt even more strongly that he had been nursing this grudge for a long time and was deliberately using her time of need to get his revenge.
Just as she feared, it was coming true.
The Crown Prince's fox-like eyes flicked over to Sun Jiaojiao, and he pinched her chin meaningfully. "I can help you. It just depends on your performance…"
His pinch sent a shiver through her entire body.
Performance?
What kind of performance did he want?
What kind of performance could she even give?
No way. This cunning Crown Prince, at this urgent, life-and-death moment, was actually threatening her… demanding she offer her body? He couldn't possibly want her to offer up her precious little chrysanthemum, could he? Only that would satisfy him?
The thought of the pain from having her chrysanthemum broken by several guards on the night before her wedding made Sun Jiaojiao's chrysanthemum clench!
Anything but the chrysanthemum!
"Your-Your Highness… Jiaojiao will… will…" Sun Jiaojiao steeled her heart. To sacrifice a pawn to save the general, to protect her sacred little chrysanthemum, she took the initiative to curry favor. "Lick the Dragon Root for you?"
Originally, the Crown Prince was just teasing her.
But when he heard this "lick the Dragon Root," and saw Sun Jiaojiao really move to undo his trouser belt, the few inadvertent brushes of her body against his made the Dragon Root truly rear its head, majestic and ready for battle.
His body, which had been abstinent for many days, began to boil, and hot blood rushed through his veins.
The Crown Prince's throat bobbed. With an air of command, he pressed Sun Jiaojiao's head down in front of his Dragon Root.
"Extinguish. The. Fire," the Crown Prince ordered, biting out each word.
