Chapter 107 You Can't Touch a Tiger's Butt

At this moment, Yuchi Lianping was still talking nonsense.

Princess Huachang looked at him, a smile still on his lips, and picked up a twig.

Slap him directly on the thigh.

This time, Yuchi Lianping's pain was genuine; his dark face paled in the night, and he could only stand by leaning against a tree.

His fingers gripped the tree bark tightly as he gritted his teeth and said, "We've been married for so long, and I never knew the Princess had such a peculiar hobby!"

Princess Huachang was shocked that he dared to challenge her and even compared her to that kind of filthy person.

It was no secret that some officials and their families had peculiar fetishes, enjoying torturing their partners with whips and candles during sexual intercourse. Some even went so far as to strangle people to death.

Princess Huachang really wanted to slap him again to vent her anger.

But when she brought the branch to her eyes, her hand stopped.

There were a few streaks of bright red on the brownish-yellow branches.

The color stung her eyes, and her chest heaved.

Princess Huachang thought he was faking his injury to gain her sympathy, but she never expected that he was really seriously injured.

Her heart tightened. What kind of dangerous situation could have caused this highly skilled general to be injured and bleeding?

Princess Huachang frowned, her eyes fixed on Yuchi Lianping. He loved to wear dark robes, and in the darkness, it was impossible to see where he was injured.

And the wounds that had just begun to heal on his body were reopened by her.

Yu Chi Lianping leaned against the tree, raising his eyebrows as he stared at her for a while.

When he noticed that Princess Huachang's eyes were red with anger, he immediately regretted it. What did his little pain matter?

Yu Chi Lianping scratched his head and quickly lowered his head to coax her.

"It's my fault for lying to you that I was seriously injured, making you worry. I'll apologize to the princess right now. If you're still not satisfied, then give me a few more lashes."

After saying that, he shamelessly moved closer to her.

Princess Huachang raised her head, clenched her chin, ignored him, and turned to walk into the main tent.

Seeing that she was heading towards the emperor, Yuchi Lianping quickly stretched out his arm to stop her, saying anxiously, "Don't go! Oh, my princess, you mustn't go at this time and ruin the emperor's plans."

Princess Huachang, whose waist he had his arm around, turned to look at him, her eyes filled with icy glare.

She brushed his hand away and said sharply, "Why can't I go? What good thing would I do?"

For once, Yuchi Lianping, usually so rough around the edges, actually had a keen eye and saw through the "secret" right at the door.

He said, "The fifth young lady of the Ji family is inside. What good thing could it be? The Emperor has just finished eating the meat. It would be such a spoilsport if you went in and disturbed him."

Ji Qingwu, who happened to be standing downwind, heard everything clearly...

If the prince consort continues, she'll be in a situation where she can't clear her name no matter what.

So Ji Qingwu pretended to have just come out and said loudly, "Greetings, Princess, and General Yuchi."

The two looked over and saw Ji Qingwu, dressed in a light green silk robe. The woman's wide sleeves swayed gently in the wind, and the sound carried on the wind was soft and gentle. Her appearance was refreshing.

Yu Chi Lianping asked in surprise, "It's done so quickly?"

Judging from Ji Qingwu's attire and slightly damp hair, it was clear that she had gone through the post-coital bathing process.

This speed was not quite what Yuchi Lianping had imagined.

Looking at Ji Qingwu's exposed skin, it was fair and clean, and her waist and legs were strong as she walked. She seemed to be a different person from the one who had cried out in pain in the tent just now.

That's even more inappropriate; does she have a "superior skill"?

He stroked his chin with a profound expression and asked, "The Emperor is still inside? You, oh my god!!"

Before he could finish speaking, someone lashed him again with a branch.

"Shut your mouth for speaking so recklessly in front of a young lady." Princess Huachang narrowed her eyes and threatened.

This time, however, she didn't slap his thigh, deliberately avoiding his injury.

Yu Chi Lianping covered his firm, perky buttocks, looking utterly shocked.

Except for the time when he was six years old, when he climbed a tree to steal bird eggs and that vengeful bird threw bird droppings at his window for half a month, for which he was punished by his father, Yuchi Lianping's backside has never suffered again.

Even if it were Princess Huachang herself, he wouldn't accept being spanked right now!

Yu Chi Lianping's face turned from green to black, then black to purple, like a palette of colors.

He glared at her, grinding his back teeth, and said, "You can't touch a tiger's backside, doesn't the Princess understand this principle?"

Seeing his anger, Princess Huachang was not afraid of him and said, "I didn't touch you, I whipped you. Shut up and don't say anything."

Yu Chi Lianping stared wide-eyed and shouted, "If you don't want me to speak, you have to gag me! Why are you gagging my butt?"

"You'd be better off saying—"

fart.

Princess Huachang couldn't bring herself to say those vulgar words, so she just glared at him fiercely.

Yu Chi Lianping stared at her like a fighting cock, their gazes meeting in the air, one carrying snowflakes, the other carrying sparks.

Ji Qingwu, who was watching from the sidelines, felt out of place standing there.

Firstly, the reason they started arguing was because of her.

Secondly, it was just a quarrel between a married couple, and she couldn't very well chime in while watching; it was incredibly awkward.

Compared to that, she would rather see the emperor's cold face.

While the two were arguing so fiercely that they had no time to pay attention to her, Ji Qingwu said softly, "This humble woman will take her leave now."

Princess Huachang's anger had not yet subsided, and her expression as she spoke to her was icy cold as she said in a chilling tone, "Don't leave yet!"

Ji Qingwu obediently moved her feet back after she had just moved away.

She glanced uneasily at the blood-stained branch in the princess's hand, then straightened her back even more.

Inside the main tent.

At this moment, Emperor Wusu was holding a secret report presented by his secret guards.

Sanchuan knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, after investigation, it has been confirmed that someone smeared a potion on the ground in the women's hunting area to entice wild beasts to go mad, which is why the black bear ran there. However, judging from the direction it was traveling, Consort Wei should have encountered it first."

Recently, thanks to a memorial submitted by General Wei Ting, Wei Liru has regained favor in the palace. Everyone in the palace says that Consort Wei has a good brother; as long as Wei Ting is around, she will always be able to maintain her position.

Seeing that their family backgrounds were inferior, some people immediately began plotting to harm Consort Wei.

Sanchuan continued, "Because Miss Ji identified the wild animal's tracks by looking at its droppings and footprints, Princess Qingyun stumbled upon it by accident."

Emperor Wusu put down the secret report, tapped his long fingers on the table, and said in a cold voice with a smirk, "Someone is getting restless."

Last time it was the Luo family, which prestigious family will it be this time?

Emperor Wusu said, "Send more people to investigate who did this."

After bowing his head to accept the order, Sanchuan disappeared in a flash.

Emperor Wusu threw the secret report into the candlelight, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

This incident still exceeded his expectations in some ways.

He wasn't surprised that someone would target Consort Wei.

Because Wei Liru was a target she had deliberately set up in the harem, and from her personality and appearance to her family background, she was the most suitable candidate.
