Chapter 431 Favorability Just Won't Improve
Thinking this, Jun Lanjin turned his gaze to Xie Xing.
But he saw her looking at him with bright, sincere eyes.
Jun Lanjin found it amusing.
You're secretly pleased with yourself, not even knowing what the other person is after.
Jun Lanjin reached out and flicked Xie Xing's forehead, saying, "What's truly frightening isn't the superficial aura, but rather when you feel like you have nowhere to go, and you only have one path to choose from, a path that terrifies you but that you have no choice but to take."
Xie Xing was bewildered.
Seeing her confused look, Jun Lanjin decided not to say anything more and instead lay down on the bed, saying, "Close your eyes and go to sleep."
Xie Xing reached out and rubbed his forehead.
She glanced at Jun Lanjin lying on the bed and asked the system, confused, "What does he mean by this?"
The system said: [The person telling you not to judge things by appearances is a warning to you.]
To give another example, it means that although Luo Hanfeng has done many things that seem to harm you, the actual harm is zero. On the other hand, Jun Lanjin seems to have done many things to help you, but whether he will ultimately harm you is another matter.
The system paused for a moment: "[My explanation is as follows.]"
Xie Xing: "..."
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Jun Lanjin.
So, doesn't that mean he's already openly telling her?
Be careful, I might hurt you.
If I really hurt you in the future, don't blame me for not warning you.
Xie Xing remained silent for a moment.
She was somewhat confused as to what Jun Lanjin's purpose was in saying these things to her.
What is he thinking?
Xie Xing thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he temporarily kept all of this to himself.
She leaned closer and asked, "So, Your Highness, you still haven't told me what you want."
Jun Lanjin opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling, and after a long while spoke, "Well, guess?"
Xie Xing: "..."
If she could guess, she wouldn't have asked!
"Is what Your Highness said to me today a reminder for me to be wary of you?" Xie Xing's clear eyes looked at Jun Lanjin. "But before, Your Highness said you liked me and wanted to be with me. Why are you reminding me to be wary of you now?"
Jun Lanjin smiled, his thin lips curving upwards. He reached out a hand and placed it on Xie Xing's forehead, gently pushing him away. "Who said I asked you to be wary of me?"
"Here, you can trust me unconditionally, until—"
Until I fell completely in love with him.
Xie Xing blinked, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no further news.
Looking again, Jun Lanjin's breathing had already stabilized.
Xie Xing: "..."
Xie Xing fell silent after seeing this.
No, you fell asleep instantly?
Xie Xing settled in Bengbu.
Helpless, she could only lie down in a huff.
But instead of falling asleep without thinking, she kept thinking about what Jun Lanjin had said, feeling that he was intentionally or unintentionally warning her about something.
Xie Xing thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the system.
System: These are all characters in the story, fictional people. The story gives them personalities, so you don't need to care what they're thinking. After completing the mission, just leave this world.
Xie Xingdao: "But even if I don't care what he's really thinking, can I really raise his favorability to 100%?"
The other two tasks have actually been mostly completed as the story has progressed.
Although Xie Xing didn't interfere as in the story, he indirectly led to the two falling for each other.
Of course, whether they are truly attracted to each other is another matter.
Only Junlan was cautious.
No matter how Xie Xing tried to get closer to Jun Lanjinxin, his favorability rating remained at 60%, without changing at all.
Xie Xing was very worried.
Jun Lanjin said he loved her, but in reality, his affection for her didn't increase.
His occasional small gestures towards her also showed affection and doting.
But Xie Xing always felt there was a distance between them.
Is this what it means to appear to love someone verbally and physically, but not in your heart?
certainly-
Xie Xing touched her heart, realizing that her feelings for Jun Lanjin were merely superficial.
The eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother.
Xie Xing reached out and rubbed his head, feeling like he was stuck in a dead end.
Human love is nothing more than facing life and death together, enduring through thick and thin.
The system spoke up: "A relationship that is bland and uneventful requires time to build; only a relationship forged through life-and-death experiences can blossom into love in a short time."
[As the story progresses, Jun Lanjin will face a life-or-death ordeal. During that time, you'll experience a dramatic life-or-death experience with him, or perhaps perish together in flames. You'll definitely fall in love with him then.]
Xie Xing: [That must have been the very end, right?]
She was discussing things with the system, unaware that her thoughts were overheard by Jun Lanjin beside her.
His eyelashes trembled.
……
The news that Prince Jin had been imprisoned in the Star-Picking Tower by the Emperor shocked the entire court and the public.
On the throne room.
A minister submitted a memorial to the throne, offering his advice:
“Your Majesty, the matter of the old princess has nothing to do with Prince Jin. Imprisoning Prince Jin in the Zhaixing Tower for this reason will likely disrupt the morale of the army.”
Jun Lanjin's Fenglang Army and his military power are unknown.
If the news gets out, and they start to have rebellious thoughts, then we're doomed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Emperor Chu sat on the dragon throne, his sharp gaze sweeping over the ministers below. He sneered, "Jun Lanjin's mother colluded with the Southern Kingdom's royal family. I suspect that even Jun Lanjin himself has the blood of the Southern Kingdom's royal family."
"It's utterly ridiculous to appoint someone with royal blood from the Southern Kingdom as a prince of my Great Chu!"
"This matter is not open to further discussion, otherwise I will punish you all as accomplices!"
After these words were spoken, no one dared to utter another sound.
Song Qingyang looked around and stepped forward to speak, “Your Majesty, since Prince Jin has been imprisoned on the Star-Picking Tower, his Fenglang Army and 50,000 troops cannot be without a leader.”
"Why don't we have Prince Jin appoint someone as general to pacify the army?"
Upon hearing this, the Chu Emperor's gaze fell upon Song Qingyang.
"Oh?"
Song Qingyang lowered his head and said, "The power in Prince Jin's hands is so great that if something happens to him, his subordinates will inevitably be eager to make a move."
"Since Prince Jin has no intention of rebelling, he should be able to solve this problem for Your Majesty."
His words finally satisfied the Chu Emperor.
He smiled and said, "You are right, my dear minister."
"I'll let you handle this matter, my dear minister."
"Yes." After Song Qingyang finished speaking, he was about to step down when Luo Hanfeng stepped forward and said, "As far as I know, it was Prince Jin who recommended Song Qing to enter the cabinet and become Father Emperor's right-hand man."
"If Minister Song has ulterior motives, wouldn't that give Prince Jin an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"
