Chapter 101: Revenge

Then, Qing Yi landed gracefully on the ground with a graceful somersault. The Sixth Prince clung to the branch, his legs trembling as he felt the pressure of falling. He hoped the young palace maids and eunuchs would go and inform the young prince of the northwest, but they were stunned by Qing Yi's actions and stood there in shock.

Qing Yi, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He leisurely sat down on the armchair, picked up his wine glass and began to drink by himself, as if he had thrown the Sixth Prince into the tree like a cat or dog, without thinking there was anything wrong with it. The eunuchs below were so frightened that their faces turned pale. From time to time, they looked at the Sixth Prince in the tree, then hurriedly looked away, fearing that the Sixth Prince would fall down.

Ye Qingyu slept for most of the day, and only got up when it was almost dark and the Emperor of Chu sent Eunuch Chang to visit her.

When Eunuch Chang came out, the Sixth Prince had been untied from the tree. He screamed for help, "Eunuch Chang, help me!"

Eunuch Chang had just said goodbye to the young prince of the Northwest and was about to return to the palace to report when he was startled by a cry for help. He looked around and saw only a few young eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard, their heads bowed, not daring to breathe. No one was talking.

"Who... who is talking?" Eunuch Chang's voice changed.

The young eunuch trembled and pointed at the tree. Eunuch Chang looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the sky gradually darkening and the shadows of the trees thickening. Suddenly, he saw a dark figure clinging tightly to a branch, swaying precariously.

"You... who are you? Why did you run up the tree?" Eunuch Chang asked bravely, looking up.

"I'm the Sixth Prince! What are you still standing there for? Get someone to put me down!" The Sixth Prince had been hanging on the tree for a long time, frightened and terrified. He had lost his usual dignity and didn't care about face anymore. He just hoped someone would rescue him quickly. He had thought that when Ye Qingyu woke up and saw this, she would rescue him immediately. But Ye Qingyu actually slept until dark and didn't even leave the bedroom.

"Ah, Sixth...Sixth Prince? Why are you hanging on the tree?" Eunuch Chang was shocked. Why was the Sixth Prince hanging on the tree in Luohua Palace? What was going on?

"Don't ask so many questions, just find someone to save me!" The Sixth Prince held on to the tree branch tightly with both hands, his legs trembling constantly, and he felt like he might fall down at any time.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Ye Qingyu also walked out slowly, as if he had just heard the noise.

"Qingyu, please save me quickly. I can't hold on any longer and I'm going to fall." The Sixth Prince finally saw the owner of Luohua Palace.

"Sixth brother, why did you run up the tree? Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you down." Ye Qingyu turned around and looked at the eunuch beside him and asked, "Where is Qingyi? Why can't I see him?"

The young eunuch quickly replied, "Your Highness, Master Qingyi just went to the toilet."

"This..." Ye Qingyu frowned, looking at Eunuch Chang with an embarrassed expression, and said, "The king is still suffering from the residual poison and is weak, unable to perform Qinggong. Eunuch Chang, could you please tell the emperor uncle to ask Chen Yan to come and rescue the sixth brother?"

"No, no, don't let Chen Yan come!" Before Lord Chang could agree, the Sixth Prince in the tree quickly refused. He knew that if his father knew about this, he would be severely reprimanded even if he was right. Moreover, if his father investigated further, it would definitely involve yesterday's incident.

"Sixth brother, let Chen Yan come over. I can't use my lightness skills now, and Qingfeng is not in the palace." Ye Qingyu advised.

"No, there's no need for him to come! You asked your men to come and rescue me. He was the one who hung me here!" said the Sixth Prince angrily.

"Go find Qing Yi quickly and tell him what I said, asking him to come and rescue people!" Ye Qingyu sighed helplessly and ordered the eunuch.

After waiting for a long time, he saw the little eunuch, but did not see Qing Yi.

"Reporting to the young prince, Master Qingyi...he...he said he didn't bring any toilet paper, and asked me to bring him some." The young eunuch stuttered. After that, he secretly raised his eyes and observed his master's expression. His heart was beating fast. He also realized that Master Qingyi was deliberately delaying his arrival.

"This brat!" Ye Qingyu frowned, seemingly helpless against his unruly subordinate. He turned to look at Eunuch Chang, his face filled with helplessness. Eunuch Chang had been with the Emperor of Chu for years and was a worldly-wise man. Seeing this, he had already guessed about 70% of what was going on. He simply smiled and said nothing.

"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and deliver it!" Ye Qingyu scolded the young eunuch angrily.

The young eunuch was as if pardoned and hurriedly turned around and ran to the toilet.

After waiting for a long time, it was already dark and the palace lanterns around him were lit. Qing Yi came over slowly and said politely, "My lord, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was really upset and stayed in the toilet for a while."

Ye Qingyu didn't reprimand him for his carelessness, but simply ordered: "Well, put Sixth Brother down quickly."

"As you command," Qing Yi replied, and instantly used his Qing Gong to leap onto the treetop. He reached out and grabbed the Sixth Prince, yanking him down from the tree like a chicken.

The Sixth Prince had been perched on a high tree branch, terrified for most of the day, shivering in the night wind. A few reckless birds had even pooped on his head, and he looked truly miserable. Furthermore, he had been on the tree for too long, and his legs had become numb. After Qing Yi brought him down to the ground, his legs softened and he sat down on the ground with a plop.

"Help Sixth Brother sit on the chair!"

Several young eunuchs hurried over and carefully helped the Sixth Prince sit down on the chair.

It took a long time for the Sixth Prince to recover. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Qing Yi's nose and cursed, "How dare you, you dog slave! How dare you hang me from a tree? I will not forgive you today!"
