Absolute protagonist

Dark, damp, and cold.

The faint firelight illuminated the mottled stone walls, thick wooden sills and cold torture instruments of the cell. It also illuminated the blood-stained figures in the corner of the cell.

That was a young man with extremely beautiful appearance. This kind of beauty was not the softness of women, but another kind of breathtaking perfection, with every outline flawless.

Even though his eyes were tightly closed and his face was as thin as gold paper, in this dark and humid cell, his appearance, which seemed to have been carved by heaven and could not be painted by any skilled painter's hand, was still intact.

The approaching jailer couldn't help but slow down his steps, as if he was afraid of disturbing the noble man's rest, even though the other man was now trapped in the quagmire and trapped in the fence.

What he didn't notice was that at this moment, the young man who was half leaning against the stone wall was breathing softer and softer, his chest gradually lost its ups and downs, and his heart stopped beating in an instant.

"Mr. Chu, can you still move?" The jailer took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Chu?" The jailer called a few more times and murmured in a low voice, "Is there something wrong? How can I explain this to the princess?"

He was about to reach out to test the other person's breathing.

Thump thump——

The heartbeat that had just stopped for a second resumed beating. The eyelashes of the young man lying in the corner trembled and he finally opened his eyes.

The dark gaze frightened the jailer to take several steps back, and he almost dropped the torch in his hand to the ground.

Chu Si was stunned for a few breaths, and then he understood the current situation. The coldness naturally revealed in the depths of his eyes gradually subsided, and his original cold and indifferent temperament was restored.

His current identity is the third son of the Boyang Chu family from a famous family in Dayong. He is the youngest son of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. He has been highly sought after since he was a child because of his unique charm and outstanding talent. He is known as Chu Yuzhi of the Yulou Master. It can be said that he is a noble son among the brocade and a young phoenix on the sycamore tree. If nothing else happens, once you become an official, it will be an end that many people will never reach in their lifetime.

Of course, this was all three days ago. Now, the unexpected has happened.

Not long ago, Chu Yuzhi's father, Prime Minister Chu Buyi, was reported to have secretly hidden armor. Later, the Tingwei found out that this was indeed the case, and three hundred armors were found from the prime minister's house. The emperor was furious and killed the entire Chu family for the crime of treason and conspiracy.

As for why Chu Yuzhi, the legitimate son, escaped certain death, it had something to do with two people.

One is Princess Xinhua. She was born to the emperor's favorite concubine Li, and she was twins with the fourth prince. Her birth brought good luck, and she was very good at being sweet in front of the emperor, so she was very popular with the emperor.

The other was a great Confucian scholar of the time. He was once the emperor's tutor.

Princess Xinhua's admiration for her original body was known to everyone in Yongjing. The great Confucian scholar Hua Xu also praised the original person's talent a lot. He praised him as a leader in the literary world and would give him a place in the future.

Because the two men begged for mercy in front of the emperor, the original man was spared his life and was temporarily imprisoned in Zhao Prison. Although the noble prince still died because he could not bear the blow and torture, leaving everything he had to Chu Si.

Chu Si slowly looked at the cell in front of him.

The jailer who was startled by him before had regained his composure and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Chu, please follow me, someone wants to see you."

Chu Si propped up his weak body and stood up, with blood stains spreading down from his clothes. The pale young man smiled slightly, but the whole cell was illuminated: "Lead the way."

The jailer couldn't help but shook his head, and when he came back to his senses, he said in his heart: My dear! Strangely, everyone said that Mr. Yulou was a famous handsome man in Yongjing! No wonder even the princess was fascinated. It seems like this guy might actually be lucky enough to be a prince-in-law!

For a moment, his expression became more respectful.

Tingwei Zhao Prison is one of the harshest yamen in Dayong. At this time, a petite figure covered in a large cloak appeared here. Even though he was wearing something as discreet as possible, he still exuded an aura of wealth and luxury.

Princess Xinhua looked noble and luxurious, her eyes staring straight at the entrance of the cell, her hands slowly clenched by her sides, revealing unconcealable anxiety and tension.

Cui Rong, the personal maid next to her, was quite aggrieved: "Princess, why did you come here in person! I don't think Mr. Yulou has fallen into such a situation. If you didn't plead for mercy, he would have lost his life long ago! As long as he is kind and kind, I shouldn’t refuse your kindness anymore!”

Princess Xinhua's expression couldn't help but soften, a smile appeared on her face, and she murmured: "Yes, as long as he knows what he is doing and is grateful..."

The few officials next to him secretly glanced at this man's face, all of them were dumbfounded in their hearts, and winked at each other. Countless mouthfuls of melon have been eaten while looking at each other.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’ve long heard that Princess Xinhua is obsessed with Mr. Yulou and has been chasing him for three years. Unexpectedly, they are now chasing us to Zhao Prison. What a passion! 』

"I really don't know how hard-hearted and arrogant this Mr. Yulou is, that he can't even look down on Princess Xinhua?" 』

"You have already fallen to this point, and you can still rely on the princess to turn yourself around. I have to say that good looks are really an advantage! 』

At the dark and narrow entrance of the cell, a figure slowly walked out behind the jailer. It seems that because of the injury, he walks very slowly. Little bits of blood fell to the ground as he moved.

The young man raised his eyes and paused.

"It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess."

He lowered his eyes again, his expression indifferent. His ebony-like hair was casually draped over his shoulders, making his face look increasingly pale, and even his usually clear eyes were covered with a layer of darkness. But he seemed to have a touch of indescribable magnanimity than before.

The guards around them stepped back knowingly and gave space to the two of them.

Princess Xinhua stared at this familiar face almost obsessively, with a soft smile on her face: "Mr. Chu, are you here?"

Her voice was also soft and soft, as if she was afraid of waking up from a sweet dream.

Isn't the person in front of her just a sweet dream to her?

The allusions of unwavering love for each other in the history books of later generations, the splendid chapters named after him in countless ancient books, the touching love poems that have touched her girl's heartstrings countless times...the eternal future in front of me. There are unparalleled celebrities who are still as unreachable as the bright moon in the sky. This is her biggest obsession after coming to this era across thousands of years.

Now, this person was standing in front of her.

The moon has fallen into the mortal world, and it seems that you can reach it with your hand.

The smile on Princess Xinhua's face became more and more joyful, and her eyes looking at the young man were full of determination to win.

Chu Si's scalp went numb for a moment.

The moment the other person's eyes fell, he seemed to be crawled by countless snakes, and the instinctive disgust came into his heart. It seems that the original person really hates this princess.

He brushed away his emotions and still lowered his eyes: "When you are just waiting for a crime, why is it worth bothering the princess?"

This familiar, seemingly humble but merciless rejection suddenly restored clarity to Princess Xinhua's obsessed eyes. Images of being rejected by the other party countless times in the past flashed before her eyes. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly twisted, and her eyes flashed with gloom for a moment.

Cui Rong, the personal palace maid, immediately jumped out and said, "Mr. Chu, how can you be so ignorant? If my princess hadn't mediated for you in front of His Majesty, would you still be alive?"

Chu Si raised his eyes, and a faint light flashed across his eyes.

...Don't know what is good and what is bad? Just during this period of time, he discovered a lot of interesting things in his original memory. It was so interesting that it made him question the true origin and motives of Princess Xinhua.

"That's enough, Cuirong!" Princess Xinhua then spoke out and dismissed the personal maid.

She didn't seem to notice Chu Si's rejection at all, and took the initiative to step forward.

"Mr. Chu..." She glanced at the environment in Zhao Prison with disgust, "I have wronged you these days. Don't worry, I will go and report to my father later——"

"No need."

"As long as you agree to be my consort, my father will definitely——"

"I said there's no need." Looking at the princess talking to herself, Chu Si said bluntly and without mercy, "Compared with the princess's mansion, this place is very good."

Princess Xinhua's smile froze on her face.

She raised her head in disbelief. The hands on his sides were clenched little by little.

... He has lost his proud family background, has no elders to rely on, and no longer has the admirers before and after him. His future is ruined, and his life is at stake... Even if he has fallen to this point, this person is still unwilling to accept it. Yourself?

"Mr. Chu, do you know -" Princess Xinhua suddenly said, "As soon as the prime minister's crime was confirmed, his most valued disciple and your most trusted senior brother, Wang Shen, hurriedly cleared the relationship and even came forward to testify. Evidence of corruption and bribery by the Prime Minister?"

"Do you know that the literati who make friends with you through literature every day are now criticizing you for using the power of the Prime Minister to improve your reputation?"

"Did you know that the noble ladies who once promised that they would not marry you have already started to climb up the ladder?"

——In this world, I am the only one whose feelings for you remain unchanged.

She finished a long sentence in one breath and cast her expectant eyes on the young man's face, trying to see the different expression changes on his face.

Unfortunately not. Chu Si's expression did not change at all. There was no loss, no anger, no despair, and there was no special treatment for her that she expected.

His dark eyes were only transparent, and he seemed to have seen through everything.

"Now that the princess has finished speaking, I will take my leave."

He turned to leave.

"Stop!" The female voice behind her changed from gentle to sharp, "Are you really going to reject me?"

Chu Si strode towards the entrance of the cell, even faster than when he came in. He seemed quite impatient. He answered directly with action.

……joke! Not to mention that he was instinctively disgusted when he saw this Princess Xinhua, no matter how gentle and cute she was, he would never betray his innocence!

Princess Xinhua left angrily. Cuirong, the personal palace maid, carefully observed her expression along the way. She didn't know why, but she felt that the current princess was far from being as gentle and kind as usual. Instead, she felt that she was indescribably dangerous.

Sure enough, as soon as she returned to her palace, Princess Xinhua kicked out all the maids. Then there was a sound of smashing things in the palace.

"Damn it! Why? Why! Why is he still indifferent even though I have done so much?"

On the luxurious carpet, the bronze mirror was shattered, and the cracked fragments reflected the girl's distorted face.

All kinds of stories about each other passed through my heart, and in the end the most profound ones were the countless affectionate poems that have not yet been written. She fell to the ground without strength, her voice soft and almost silent.

"...Does he still miss that dead bitch?"

What Princess Xinhua didn't know was that not long after she left, another visitor appeared in Zhao Prison.

"Tsk tsk, what a great opportunity that was!"

The young man in red brocade sneered at his former enemy who had become a prisoner.

"If you agree to Princess Xinhua, and she says a few good words to His Majesty, maybe you, the newly-minted consort, will be acquitted!"

Who do the dandies in Yongjing City hate the most? If we make a list, then Chu Yuzhi, the Kyoto prince template that his parents have used to educate them countless times, is definitely the best.

Qu Yingfei, the young marquis who claims to be the head of Yongjing dandies, is no exception. Not to mention that his parents tell him to compare him with Chu Yuzhi every day. Just say that every girl he has secretly liked since he became sensible is an admirer of Chu Yuzhi. Such a thing makes him unilaterally irreconcilable with the other party.

"Why bother looking for Princess Xinhua?" The pale-faced young man returned to the cell and slowly sat down against the wall. He stared at the young man calmly, "Isn't there a better candidate in front of you?"

The original body's memory provided him with a lot of information, although the original body himself might not care.

Qu Yingfei was confused by the other's gaze, and pointed at himself for a long time: "You mean-me?"

He seemed to be telling a big joke: "You expect me to help you? Can I help you?"

"Yes. You will definitely help me. As for whether you can help? I think your father Qu Yanghou should have such ability."

Chu Si nodded slowly, and a firm smile appeared on his lips. This smile was indescribably treacherous in Qu Yingfei's eyes.

Then he slowly uttered a sentence.

Seeing Qu Yingfei's suddenly changed expression, Chu Si's eyes were calm, and he said softly: "Go, it's better to go as soon as possible."

... For him, every time he arrived at a place, he would collect information around him, find the enemy's flaws, take advantage of other people's weaknesses, coerce and lure... As long as he wanted, it was easy.
