Su Muxi, though of humble origin and perceived ugliness, was pure-hearted and possessed exceptional medical skills.
She married the once-favored son of heaven and spent three years helping hi...
After Ye Zeyu and his group settled in at the Prince Jing's residence, it gradually got dark.
Ye Chengping not only prepared a banquet for Ye Zeyu, but also arranged for some dancers to entertain him.
Graceful dancers twirled in the middle of the hall, accompanied by the sounds of string and wind instruments, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere.
Ye Zeyu sat to Ye Chengping's right, slowly sipping his wine.
Although his expression was obscured by the mask, Ye Ziyu's aura suggested that he was quite relaxed.
Zheng Yi, sitting on the left, made no attempt to hide the look of enjoyment on his face.
"Prince Jing, I raise a toast to you to thank you for the food and wine you have prepared, and for all these beauties!"
Zheng Yi picked up his wine glass, gestured to Ye Chengping, and then drank it all in one gulp, appearing to be in a good mood.
Ye Chengping smiled and returned the toast, "Young Master Zheng, you are too kind. Ganzhou is my fiefdom. Since you have come here, it is only right that I extend the hospitality of a host."
Zheng Yi said with a hint of complaint, "I've never suffered anything in my life, but on the way to Ganzhou, I've experienced all the hardships of my life!"
He paused for a moment, then inappropriately revealed a lewd smile, "Hehe! But the trip to Ganzhou wasn't in vain, I didn't expect to encounter such a beauty on the way."
I must say, the taste of that beauty was absolutely amazing!
That face, that figure, that alluring way in bed…tsk tsk!
Zheng Yi's remarks were extremely vulgar, yet Ye Zeyu did not utter a single word of rebuke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chengping's hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly, but his expression showed no sign of anything amiss.
"It seems that Young Master Zheng is quite the ladies' man. If any of these dancers catch your eye today, please don't be shy. I will make sure they serve you well."
Then, she added to Ye Zeyu, "Of course, the same goes for your cousin. If there's someone who catches your eye, you absolutely mustn't be too reserved!"
Everyone says Ye Zeyu is indifferent to women, yet he chose Su Muxi.
Although he had never seen what Su Muxi looked like, he had heard that Su Muxi was as beautiful as a fairy.
That's why he told Ye Zeyu not to put on airs.
His words carried a hint of sarcasm, but it was all masked by the smile on his face.
It sounded like ordinary banter between the two brothers.
But Zheng Yi said, "Even the Prince of Yong'an doesn't fancy that beauty, so why would he fancy your dancers! Even I, the young master, don't fancy them! Tonight, I'm going to pamper that beauty properly. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have another chance!"
"Oh? How could there be no chance?"
Ye Chengping asked in confusion.
Ye Ziyu, whose eyebrows were hidden under the mask, raised them slightly.
He raised his wine glass to cover the cold smile on his lips, listening silently to the conversation between Zheng Yi and Ye Chengping.
Zheng Yi had changed his arrogant and dissolute demeanor from before at the city gate, and was now much closer to Ye Chengping.
Hearing Ye Chengping ask this, he hurriedly said, "If that beauty is really the Holy Maiden Tianxian of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, then when the Heavenly Immortal Sect is wiped out, she will definitely be killed along with her!"
You haven't seen the decisive and efficient methods of the Prince of Yong'an.
The day before we arrived in Ganzhou, we stayed in a village called Daliu Village. I was just about to go to sleep when I heard a noise outside. As soon as I got up and went out, I saw a pile of corpses on the ground!
The Prince of Yong'an kills people faster than I can swat a mosquito. How long do you think that Celestial Immortal Sect can last?!
So I have to enjoy that beauty while she's still alive, otherwise I definitely won't have the chance again!
Ye Chengping laughed and said, "But we haven't confirmed yet that the woman is the Holy Maiden Tianxian of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, so why is Young Master Zheng in such a hurry!"
But Zheng Yi said without any restraint, "That's because you haven't slept with that beauty. If you had, you'd be just as eager! Haha!"
Ye Chengping, whose expression remained flawless, finally changed his expression because of Zheng Yi's words.
However, he quickly returned to normal.
Then Zheng Yi said, "Considering that Prince Jing has prepared so much food and wine, if you want to try, I can give you that beauty for one night. If she really is the Holy Maiden Celestial of the Celestial Immortal Sect, then we can be considered to have rid the people of a scourge! Haha!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chengping blushed just the right amount of color on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Since Young Master Zheng is so kind, then I will not refuse. To be honest, I have never seen such a beautiful woman before. After a few drinks, thinking of her appearance makes me feel a little itchy."
"Haha! What's wrong with that! What man isn't lustful!"
Zheng Yi finished speaking with a smile, then looked at Ye Zeyu with lingering fear, "Of course, the Prince of Yong'an is an exception. The Prince of Yong'an is devoted to the Princess of Yong'an, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that!"
…
After several rounds of drinks, Zheng Yi was so drunk that he was completely out of it and had no interest in enjoying the women that Ye Chengping had prepared for him.
After being carried back to his room, two maids prepared to help Zheng Yi undress, but they were chased away by Zheng Yi's servant.
"You may all leave. I will take care of my young master here!"
However, after the maids left, Zheng Yi, who should have been completely drunk, suddenly sat up in bed.
However, there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.
"Have they all left?"
Zheng Yi glanced furtively towards the door.
The servant said earnestly, "Young master, don't worry. Everyone in our courtyard, except for those arranged by the prince, has been cleared out under some pretext."
Hearing this, Zheng Yi finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Although he was a playboy, he wasn't that arrogant towards Prince Jing.
Ye Ziyu forced him to do all of this.
They said that if he wanted to live, he had to obey them.
Although Ye Zeyu said that Ye Chengping would not harm him in the Jingwang Mansion, he should still be cautious just to be on the safe side.
After all, Qiao Zixian was Ye Chengping's woman. He had said those lewd things time and time again, and had even touched Qiao Zixian inappropriately along the way. If Ye Chengping had any sense of decency, he would definitely hold a grudge and find an opportunity to kill him.
The woman Ye Chengping sent to serve him might just take his life in the middle of the night!
That's why he pretended to be drunk.
Meanwhile, Ye Chengping staggered toward the room where Qiao Zixian was being held.
Ye Zeyu patted his shoulder, "Cousin, that woman's identity is unknown. Be careful. It's fine to play around, but don't take it seriously."
Ye Chengping smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, cousin! As long as she's in my Jingwang Mansion, I'll never let her try anything funny!"
Ye Zeyu's dark eyes flickered slightly, knowing that Ye Chengping's words had a hidden meaning.
He sneered inwardly, but nodded slightly on the surface.
"Then I will not disturb my cousin any longer."
Watching Ye Ziyu's departing figure, Ye Chengping's smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes turned extremely cold.
