Si Lili also drank some wine, then looked at Li Chengyuan and asked, "Come to think of it, Lili still doesn't know the identity of the young master!"

Hearing this, Li Chengyuan looked at Si Lili with a half-smile and said, "You really don't know?"

Si Lili pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, sir? This is my first time meeting you, so naturally I don't know who you are!"

"Haha, Miss Lili, you're boring now!"

Li Chengyuan poured himself a glass of wine and continued:

"The one who brought me here was Prince Jing's son, Li Hongcheng.

He's a frequent visitor here, and he hasn't concealed his identity yet. I don't believe you don't know him!"

"This... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally knows Li Li!"

"Since you know me, here comes the question!" Li Chengyuan drank another glass of wine, then looked at Si Lili and asked, "Just now, Li Hongcheng called me "Third Brother" in public. He is the Prince of Jing, and there is only one person in the entire Qing Kingdom who can be his "Third Brother." And now you tell me you don't know me, Miss Lili, aren't you insulting my intelligence?"

Si Lili was shocked. She didn't expect Li Chengyuan to be so perceptive and could remember such details at that time. She had miscalculated.

However, Si Lili was not panicked. After being exposed by Li Chengyuan, Si Lili immediately stood up, saluted Li Chengyuan, and then said in a charming voice: "Your Highness is very smart. It is Lili who is showing off her skills. Lili admits that Lili did know your Highness's identity before. I just wanted to play a joke on you. Please forgive me!"

Si Lili had a weak and vulnerable expression on her face.

That kind of delicate, charming and alluring charm.

If it were any other man at this time, he probably wouldn't be willing to blame Si Lili.

But Li Chengyuan remained unmoved.

He poured himself another glass of wine, then looked up at Si Lili with a playful expression and said, "Haha, just kidding? That's a really bold joke! So what you're saying is that you drugged my wine even though you knew I was the Third Prince of Qing? Do you know what you're doing?"

!!!

Si Lili, who had been extremely calm, suddenly changed her expression when she heard Li Chengyuan's words.

For the first time, he showed a panic expression.

This...he actually tasted it?

Si Lili didn’t understand!

She did drug Li Chengyuan.

But the poisons she used were specially made by the royal family, colorless and odorless, and extremely difficult to detect. How did Li Chengyuan discover it?

In addition, more importantly, why did Li Chengyuan continue to drink even though he knew that the wine was drugged?

What puzzled Si Lili the most was why Li Chengyuan drank so many glasses of wine but there was no effect?

Si Lili was really confused at this moment.

But now is obviously not the time to worry about these things. The most important thing is how to overcome the current difficulties.

Glancing at Li Chengyuan's calm expression, Si Lili took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then forced a smile, pretending to be relaxed and saying, "What are you talking about, Your Highness? How dare Lili drug your Highness? Lili is timid. Please don't scare Lili."

"Haha!" Li Chengyuan smiled and shook his head. "I don't know if you're brave or not, but I know your acting isn't very good. Miss Lili, I treat you with sincerity, so please don't play dumb with me anymore. Otherwise, I'll be really upset!"

When Li Chengyuan said this, Si Lili knew that Li Chengyuan was not lying to her, he really knew that there was medicine in the wine.

Si Lili also did not hesitate. She knelt down with a plop and confessed her guilt: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Lili knows I was wrong!"

"Alright, get up first!" Li Chengyuan glanced at Si Lili, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "It's a beautiful night tonight, and I don't want to ruin the atmosphere. Besides, I just promised to be kind to you, so...get up and sit down first, and let's have a good chat. If we have a good chat, everything will be fine!"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili knew that Li Chengyuan had conditions to discuss with her, which made her feel relieved.

Si Lili stood up obediently, sat down again, and then looked at Li Chengyuan with a sincere face and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness. Don't worry, from now on, Lili will never tell a lie!"

"You said it!" Li Chengyuan smiled again, and then asked directly: "Tell me first, what medicine did you give me?"

"Bone-splitting!" Si Lili said shyly, "It's a harmless aphrodisiac. After taking it, Your Highness will pass out, and then... make love with me in your dreams!"

"So that's it!" Li Chengyuan suddenly realized.

At the same time, I was secretly glad.

Fortunately, the system reward arrived in time, otherwise I would have lost a lot tonight.

Although there will be no consequences.

But he had just had a night of erotic dreams on a flower boat trip, and it would be too embarrassing if this got out.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyuan looked at Si Lili with a mixture of anger and laughter and said, "So you want to be the most beautiful courtesan while also maintaining your virginity?"

Si Lili lowered her head guiltily.

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Then do you know that your act of drugging me is already a capital crime?"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili raised her head and looked at Li Chengyuan pitifully, saying, "Your Highness, are you willing to do this? You just said you wanted to pity Lili!"

"Normally, I would definitely be reluctant! But..." Li Chengyuan stared into Si Lili's eyes and suddenly said meaningfully, "Are you a normal woman?"

"What...what do you mean?" Being stared at by Li Chengyuan like that, Si Lili suddenly panicked again.

Li Chengyuan shook his wine glass and said calmly, "First of all, if you were an ordinary courtesan, after knowing my identity, even if you didn't offer yourself, you definitely wouldn't have the courage to drug me.

Second, the bone-softening you mentioned should not be an ordinary aphrodisiac, at least not something that an ordinary courtesan can produce.

Thirdly, the fact that you were able to become famous in Tokyo in such a short period of time and still have so many admirers is not something that an ordinary courtesan can accomplish.

Therefore, your identity is definitely not ordinary.

Moreover, there should be forces around you that are dedicated to serving you!

Hmm.....A courtesan who hides her strength and yet is so careful about herself, there is only one explanation for this situation, you must be a spy!

And he's not even a spy from Qing. The spies from Qing wouldn't be like you, high-profile and careful about their health!

So, to sum up, you are a spy from Northern Qi?"

Si Lili was startled and stood up instantly!

Chapter 14 Si Lili's Initiative! Emperor Qing's Shock!

“Your Highness…you…you…”

Si Lili looked at Li Chengyuan in disbelief, shocked beyond words.

She was really scared at this moment!

I'm a little scared of Li Chengyuan!

The main reason is that Li Chengyuan is a little too scary.

Si Lili said almost nothing.

Li Chengyuan deduced that she was a spy from Northern Qi just by knowing that her wine was drugged. His ability was so smart that he was almost a demon.

Unfortunately, Si Lili didn't know that Li Chengyuan was working backwards based on the answer.

In fact, there are many loopholes in Li Chengyuan's inference that can be explained.

It’s a pity that Si Lili was so panicked that she didn’t even have the rationality to think about these loopholes.

Looking at the trembling Si Lili, Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Judging from your performance, I guessed it right again?"

Si Lili was silent for a long time, then suddenly accepted her fate and sat back down.

"Your Highness, since you know my identity, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Don't act so righteous in front of me. If you really wanted to die, you wouldn't be talking nonsense to me. Instead, you would have committed suicide the moment your identity was exposed!"

Si Lili: "......"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Li Chengyuan stretched lazily and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of exposing you. I am just a powerless prince now, and exposing you will not benefit me!"

Si Lili was shocked again when she heard this. She understood Li Chengyuan's subtext.

"Your Highness means that you want to cooperate with me?"

Li Chengyuan nodded noncommittally and said, "That's indeed my intention, but I'm still hesitant because I don't need unreliable allies. In other words, you have no credibility with me at the moment!"

Si Lili was stunned. She looked straight at Li Chengyuan. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly stood up, walked to Li Chengyuan, and sat directly in Li Chengyuan's arms.

Si Lili hooked her arm around Li Chengyuan's neck, breathing softly, "Your Highness, what if this is the case?"

Feeling the delicate body in his arms, Li Chengyuan was really caught off guard.

Now it was her turn to feel uncomfortable.

"Miss Lili, are you going to sacrifice yourself?"

Si Lili smiled and said, "That's right! Your Highness, don't you feel that you can't trust Lili? Then, can Lili give you everything in exchange for your Highness's trust?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "You're overthinking this. To me, this kind of thing and trust are two different things. Even if you give it to me, I still won't trust you!"

Si Lili was really angry now. "Is Your Highness so heartless?"

"It's not that I'm heartless!" Li Chengyuan said seriously, "Miss Lili, there's one thing you don't understand. To me, trust is mutual and pure! If physical transactions can buy trust, then isn't trust itself a little too worthless?"

After hearing this, Si Lili was stunned again.

She thought Li Chengyuan was teasing her.

But I didn't expect that Li Chengyuan would say such a thing.

Such a Li Chengyuan suddenly made Si Lili feel a little unfamiliar.

It was the first time she had seen a powerful person like Li Chengyuan.

After a moment's silence, Si Lili looked at Li Chengyuan and asked sincerely for the first time, "Then, Your Highness, how do you think I can gain your trust?"

"I don't know either!" Li Chengyuan shook his head. "Trust isn't something that can be built through a single conversation or contact. As the saying goes, a journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. How can trust be built without long-term contact?"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili looked at Li Chengyuan's sincere expression and suddenly smiled like a flower.

"Your Highness, Lili understands what you said. Now, please feel Lili's heart!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Chengyuan to answer, Si Lili lowered her head and bit Li Chengyuan's lips!

Li Chengyuan was wrapped up by Si Lili and lost his ability to resist in an instant.

The negotiations ended here and the Flower Boat Night officially began.

...

At the same time, in the imperial palace, the Qing emperor's bedroom.

Emperor Qing was wearing a deep V-neck pajamas and reviewing memorials on the couch.
