After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 267 Luo Hanfeng's Beauty Trap

Should we go up and take a look? Xie Xing hesitated.

Since she was delivering medicine to Luo Hanfeng, the main couple's relationship should progress, so it shouldn't have anything to do with her anymore, right?

The system said: [You should still go up and take a look. Right now, Luo Hanfeng is in cahoots with you, but don't you know what his relationship with the female lead is like? Once you figure things out, you'll know your enemy and yourself.]

We can't let him have his way every time, can we?

Xie Xing: "..."

She truly fell silent.

Thinking of the two times Luo Hanfeng had forcibly kissed her before, Xie Xing's expression was indescribable.

She never imagined that Luo Hanfeng was such a pervert.

Since the system had said so, Xie Xing thought about it and secretly followed Xie Mingzhu out.

The palace was very quiet at night, with only the occasional palace guards on patrol and the palace maids guarding the palace gates.

A gentle night breeze blew, and Xie Xing pulled her clothes tighter around herself, following Xie Mingzhu at a distance.

Xie Mingzhu went through a side hall and left through the back door.

Before long, Xie Mingzhu found Luo Hanfeng's palace.

The palace where Luo Hanfeng lived was a small palace assigned by the emperor. There were no other palace maids or eunuchs in this palace, only a pageboy by Luo Hanfeng's side.

When Xie Mingzhu arrived at the door, the pageboy saw that it was her, went in first to announce her arrival, and came out after a while to let Xie Mingzhu in.

Xie Xing wanted to go over, but was stopped by the system.

[Wait, don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many people around Luo Hanfeng's palace. They're actually hiding in the shadows. If you go near him, he'll spot you immediately.]

Xie Xing immediately stopped in his tracks.

She blushed and half-closed her eyes, saying, "Then what am I supposed to look at? His palace gate?"

System: [Don't worry, I'll calculate it for you.]

A short while later, the system projected the hidden corners of the palace into Xie Xing's mind, highlighting several key locations and saying, "Didn't you bring your bodyguards with you?"

Have your bodyguards lead you to this corner; it's a blind spot.

Xie Xing: "..."

The role of the secret guards was also brought to its fullest potential.

Xie Xing did as instructed.

She called out her bodyguard and told him the location circled by the system. The bodyguard immediately led Xie Xing up there.

In the courtyard of the palace.

Luo Hanfeng was sitting in the courtyard with a book in his hand. Just as his page brought Xie Mingzhu over, Luo Hanfeng looked up from his book.

The moonlight shone on his pale face. From Xie Xing's perspective, looking down at him, his light brown eyes were clear and pitiful, making him look incredibly endearing.

Xie Xing gasped.

[Is this how he always acts in front of the female lead?]

What a delicate, harmless, innocent, and pitiful appearance she has.

Why are you so fierce and like a pervert in front of her?

System: [So he's all bark and no bite, a complete lunatic inside. If the female lead had known he was crazy from the start, she definitely wouldn't have fallen for him.]

"Hanfeng." Xie Mingzhu came to Luo Hanfeng's side. She looked at Luo Hanfeng with heartache and said gently, "You coughed up a lot of blood from the Sixth Prince's palm strike on the training ground today. Are you alright?"

Luo Hanfeng smiled weakly and said, "It's nothing."

His eyes darted around, and his gaze inadvertently drifted towards the direction where Xie Xing was hiding.

Xie Xing suddenly caught his eye and froze.

He's looking this way. Will I be spotted?

System: [No, it's definitely not looking at you. Your position is a blind spot. Even if it were looking this way, it wouldn't see you. Trust the system algorithm.]

Xie Xing made up his mind.

Luo Hanfeng looked away.

Xie Mingzhu handed the medicine to Luo Hanfeng and said, "This is a good medicine for treating injuries. It is excellent for both internal and external use. I originally prepared it for my second brother, but I'm giving it to you now."

"Thank you, Mingzhu." Luo Hanfeng accepted the medicine.

Just as Xie Mingzhu was about to place the medicine in Luo Hanfeng's hand, she paused and said, "Shall I apply the medicine for you?"

"It's difficult to administer the medicine on your own."

As Xie Mingzhu spoke, a blush rose on her fair face.

Luo Hanfeng was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Xie Mingzhu to make such a request.

He glanced at the page standing to the side.

The pageboy wisely withdrew.

"What?" Xie Mingzhu keenly noticed his hesitation, and the warmth on her face gradually faded. She asked, "I, I didn't mean that. I, I just wanted to see how badly you were hurt."

"If you don't want my help, then forget it."

As Xie Mingzhu spoke, she prepared to put the medicine on the table and turn to leave.

Luo Hanfeng snapped out of his daze, stood up, grabbed Xie Mingzhu's wrist, and whispered, "No, don't go."

His slightly pleading voice, combined with his naturally pleasant and clear tone, immediately captivated people's hearts.

Xie Xing watched with great interest.

Luo Hanfeng lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "It's not that I don't want you to help me apply the medicine, it's just that I'm afraid of scaring you."

"How could that be?" Xie Mingzhu shook her head and said, "How could I be scared by you?"

Luo Hanfeng bit his lower lip, stood up, took off his outer robe, and then slowly took off his inner clothes.

What came into view was a patch of fair skin, and Xie Mingzhu and Xie Xing's eyes widened at the same time.

Xie Xing and Xie Mingzhu have different perspectives, so they see things differently.

Xie Xing was positioned directly opposite Luo Hanfeng. From her angle, she could see Luo Hanfeng's striking and handsome features. His smooth, milky-white skin almost reflected the moonlight, and his strong chest and the pink nipples on his chest were breathtaking.

Because his skin was so fair, the red handprint on his chest was very noticeable.

Xie Xing: "..."

She immediately looked away.

Is this something I can see?

She's good-looking, but compared to the prince, her figure is still a little lacking.

Luo Hanfeng: "..."

His eyes turned cold, he rubbed his cheeks, and simply turned around to face Xie Mingzhu directly, while facing Xie Xing from behind.

Xie Xing then saw what was behind him.

At this moment, she, like Xie Mingzhu, looked somewhat astonished.

Luo Hanfeng's back was covered with grotesque, crisscrossing whip marks. The one in the middle was the whip his master had given him some time ago, and the wound was now scabbing over. However, due to his fight with Luo Huaichuan earlier that day, the wound had reopened, and blood was seeping out.

It stands out especially against such a snow-white back.

It's like a piece of white jade, stained with countless flaws and cracks.

Xie Mingzhu covered her lips in surprise, a ripple of emotion instantly appearing in her autumn-like eyes. She asked in astonishment, "These...are these all injuries you sustained?"

Luo Hanfeng lowered his eyes and used his slender fingers to pick up his clothes and put them back on.

This time, his clothes were loose and baggy, revealing his long and delicate collarbones, which gave him an inexplicably alluring look.

"Are you scared?"
