Chapter 43
Su Xi-er didn't want to stay on the topic about her loathing men . "Prince Hao, this servant would like to ask why you transferred Ruo Yuan to the Laundry Service Bureau . "

"Hm? Only Eunuch Zhang from the Imperial Household Department is privy to this matter . How did you know that it was this prince who instructed it?" Pei Qianhao appeared unconcerned, but actually harboured questions in his heart . Don't tell me that she has even won Eunuch Zhang over?
"Prince Hao, why are you so certain that only Eunuch Zhang is aware of this matter?"
Pei Qianhao's gaze deepened . "You've become quite efficient at speaking in circles, even managing to threaten this prince in the process . "
"This servant isn't threatening you . I only want to know, why did you transfer Ruo Yuan to the Laundry Service Bureau?" Su Xi-er matched his gaze with her own .
Her answer was dead silence . Only after several minutes did she hear Prince Hao's deep voice again .

"You really want to know? Are you not clear about the reason? What things have you done that offended your superiors?"
Su Xi-er enunciated her words as she replied, "Since it was this servant who offended you, why didn't you directly punish this servant instead of randomly punis . h . i . +ng me in a roundabout manner?"
Pei Qianhao's eyes narrowed even further, his voice full of a might befitting his n . o . ble station as he spoke a single word .
"Impudent!"
Su Xi-er no longer feigned weakness; even if she continued to pretend, Prince Hao wouldn't believe her anyways . Either way, he doesn't have the evidence to prove that I was the one who ambushed him in the woods beside the Palace Side Quarters .

"This servant is only judging the case as it stands . Prince Hao, you can punish this servant however you wish, but I hope that you won't implicate others . "
"Since you wish to be punished so badly, this prince will naturally oblige . I take it you will accept whatever punishment I decide on?" he asked coldly . His gaze caused a sudden feeling of doubt to arise in Su Xi-er .
How does he plan to punish me? Is it a perverted method of punishment? If that's the case, I will have to tell him properly that I refuse to go along with it .
"Prince Hao, you can punish this servant however you want, but you can't…" Su Xi-er paused and observed Pei Qianhao's expression carefully .
She only saw that besides a small smirk on his face, Pei Qianhao's countenance was still ice-cold . "What can this prince not do? Tell me specifically . "

Su Xi-er paused for a moment before finally coming to a firm decision . He has already done such shameless actions in the past . No matter how ridiculous it is and how egotistical I may be, I have to at least make just one thing clear . . .
"You can't take advantage of this servant's body . "
Pei Qianhao's expression stiffened for a split second, the atmosphere becoming even more awkward .
I never thought that I would hear someone say that to me in my life . In fact, Su Xi-er is probably the only one who dares to do so in this whole world . The very notion was so ridiculous and amusing that he could do little more than offer a helpless smile .
In short, he was unable to express his current mood in words . Despite his internal conflicts however, he kept the same cold smirk visage on his face, making people unable to discern his mood .
Pei Qianhao chuckled . "This prince originally didn't plan on it . Now that you have brought it up however, this prince really wants to . Do you know about this prince's principles when handling things?"
Su Xi-er had never seen such a shameless man before . Is this considered a principle? Not revealing his intentions normally and instead forcing others unreasonably?
"If that's the case, this servant will decline . "
"Do you think you have the right to decline? Look at how the wind is blowing restlessly on this dark night . The environment is also not bad . " Pei Qianhao deliberately raised his hand just to see her reaction .
Every time we meet, she always acts in a unique way that surprises everyone, although the surprise is sometimes a shocking surprise instead .
"Prince Hao, on such a dark and windy night, it's actually a more appropriate time for killing someone . "
