Chapter 62: Tease away from other wild men
Xie Yuting suspected that he was going crazy.
"What did you say?"
Jiang Yueying blinked, looking innocent: "I'm willing to have an affair with you."
"Aren't you afraid that the prince will find out?" Xie Yuting narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl secretly through the veil.
"You are a martial arts expert and good at hiding, so he won't find out easily." Jiang Yueying lied seriously, making the affair sound easy.
The girl's eyebrows and eyes are curved, like a bay of clear water, pure, flawless, clean and transparent, but the words she speaks are extremely rebellious and shocking.
Xie Yuting's tone suddenly turned cold: "Do you know that this is called cheating on your partner?"
Jiang Yueying retorted: "I only know how to repay your life-saving grace and pledge my love to you. Isn't that what you said?"
Xie Yuting: "..."
It hurts to shoot yourself in the foot.
If you don't learn good things, you will learn bad things.
Could it be that the little princess preferred the aloof and sophisticated knight-errant? It made sense. After all, she was incredibly absorbed in swordplay, clearly genuinely interested. So, it made sense that she'd be drawn to someone with exceptional swordsmanship.
But, Xie Yuting is not dead yet!
She's actually thinking about hooking up with other men. That's too much.
Keep a record of the accounts and settle accounts with her sooner or later.
"You haven't even seen my true face, aren't you afraid that I might be ugly?"
"But you have a kind heart."
Xie Yuting laughed angrily. The cold-clothed swordsman was kind-hearted, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a perpetrator of all kinds of evil, right?
Keep account, keep account strictly.
"I just killed someone, and you say I'm kind?"
He raised the sword and waved it before her eyes, a trace of blood splatter remaining on the hilt.
Naked intimidation.
Jiang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the third prince was dead.
That guy was really murderous and heartbreaking. He actually dressed up as a swordsman in cold clothes to kill the Third Prince. Xie Yusui probably died with regrets.
But well done.
Seeing her in a daze, Xie Yuting thought he had frightened her, so he retracted his sword and said, "If you're scared, stay away from me."
"That's amazing." she said suddenly.
"?" Xie Yuting was completely confused.
Jiang Yueying's eyes sparkled: "I admire the chivalrous warriors who can kill with one sword the most. How could I be afraid?"
Xie Yuting gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about it. Go back to your East Palace right now. If you dare to go out and talk to a wild man again, I will chase you with a sword."
“…………”
Jiang Yueying almost broke down laughing.
It turns out that teasing people is so fun, no wonder Xie Yuting always bullies her.
"Who are you to control me?" she retorted.
"I can't bear to see you go astray." Xie Yuting said viciously.
Jiang Yueying snorted: "Oh, so you are on the wrong path."
Xie Yuting couldn't help but pinch her little face and threatened in a low voice: "Go home quickly, or I will be rude to you."
Unexpectedly, she was extremely stubborn and held his arm tightly. Her round eyes were dark, beautiful and pure, without any sign of embarrassment.
He tasted something wrong.
When did a certain little princess become so bold as to flirt with a foreign man in the East Palace?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and tried to leave.
Jiang Yueying immediately used her hands and feet to stop him. As the two pushed each other, they tripped and fell to the ground at the same time.
Xie Yuting was quick-witted and quick-handed. He immediately hugged her waist and protected the back of the girl's head. He then cushioned himself under her and fell on his back on the hard bricks and stones.
thump.
Because she was held tightly by someone, Jiang Yueying fell on the man's chest and was unharmed. On the other hand, the man under her was screaming in pain.
"Are you okay? Where did you fall?!" Jiang Yueying's face turned pale with fright. She hurriedly tried to take off his clothes to check if he had any injuries.
Xie Yuting crossed his arms to protect his chest, pretending to be molested: "Men and women should not touch each other, don't touch me!"
"You and I are husband--" Jiang Yueying hadn't even finished saying the word "wife" when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
She stopped moving, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. She half-rode on the man stupidly and swallowed.
Xie Yuting said calmly, "Feeling guilty?"
Jiang Yueying pursed her lips, knowing that she was exposed.
"What are you and I like?" he pressed with a smile.
She angrily took off his hat and black veil, and his bright and sparkling peach blossom eyes appeared first. When their eyes met, the air was silent for a moment.
At this time, Xie Yuting was half-sitting on the ground. His dark black robe with narrow sleeves made his waist look straight, and his long sword added a bit of murderous aura to him. She was used to seeing men dressed up in fancy ways, but this was the first time she had seen men dressed so coolly and neatly, which made her stunned for a moment.
Xie Yuting tilted his head: "You're not going to have an affair with me, little princess, why aren't you making any moves?"
Jiang Yueying got up from the ground and pouted: "Xie Yuting, you dare to lie to me."
"I never said that the Cold-robed Swordsman wasn't me, so how could that be considered a lie?"
It's just far-fetched talk.
Not only that, he also wanted to turn the tables and say, "Little princess, you actually want to have an affair with another man. Are you doing me any justice?"
Jiang Yueying was stunned: "I only knew it was you..."
Xie Yuting smiled and nodded: "So the little princess wanted to be intimate with me so much that she even wanted to take advantage of my second identity."
"……shameless."
"Speaking of which, how did you find out?"
Jiang Yueying was speechless and pointed at the scratches on the back of his hand.
Xie Yuting suddenly understood. He didn't expect that she was so observant.
"Even so, I have already put it on your account."
She blinked blankly. What account? She didn't owe any money.
Inexplicable.
Xie Yuting also stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, took her hand and went into the house to change into clean clothes.
On the way, he briefly explained how to deal with the third prince and did not mention the unlucky guy again.
Jiang Yueying listened carefully and slightly curled the corners of her lips.
When they entered the house, Xie Yuting kept demanding that she change his clothes herself, saying that they had soiled his clothes.
"Xie Yuting, you..."
He guided her hand and placed it on his belt, frowning and pretending to be pitiful: "You've pledged your body to me, and you won't even take off your clothes?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yueying suddenly became serious: "Last time at Mingquan Temple, how did you know that I was kidnapped?"
Xie Yuting recalled, "To be honest, I was at my villa outside Beijing when I received a letter via carrier pigeon saying you were in danger, but the sender didn't leave a name."
Jiang Yueying was surprised and asked, "Who would be so kind?"
"I have a rough guess, and it's pretty close."
"Who is it?"
Xie Yuting opened his arms, looking like a tyrant: "Come and change my clothes, and I'll consider telling you."
Jiang Yueying muttered to herself as she untied his belt. Looking down from above, she could clearly see the shining pearls and jade in the girl's hair, and her slightly drooping eyelashes were thick and long. She lowered her head slightly to smell and could smell the elegant fragrance of osmanthus.
Unable to resist the temptation, Xie Yuting lowered his head and kissed her eyelashes.
Jiang Yueying's eyelashes trembled and her ears turned red.
Xie Yuting did not forget to remind him: "Luckily it was me this time. From now on, when you go out, you must stay away from other wild men. Do you understand?"
"Who told you to dress up as a wild man and tease me..."
"Call your husband and let him hear it."
"No."
Xie Yuting was dissatisfied, with the corners of his mouth drooping. "You always call me husband in front of Han Yi Swordsman, why can't I call him husband in front of my husband? I don't deserve to hear it."
Mentioning Jiang Yueying made me embarrassed. I had originally wanted to pretend to be a loving couple in front of the cold-clothed swordsman, but who would have thought that Xie Yuting was the swordsman himself? Thinking back to what I had said before...
It's so shameful.
She buried her head in the man's arms and picked up the little quail.
The outer robe had been taken off long ago. Xie Yuting hugged her and put her on the soft couch, stroking the girl's back as if he was stroking her hair.
"What are you thinking about?"
A pair of slender hands lit fire everywhere, rubbing the fragile skin on the back of the neck, slowly moving downwards, and couldn't help but pinch it a few more times.
Jiang Yueying's face flushed red, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't utter a single word.
"Aying." He bit her ear, held it in his warm mouth, and ground it carefully.
The numbness spread from her earlobes, and she couldn't help shaking her shoulders. The moment she heard her own name, her waist went limp.
He cunningly bit her earlobe, and swept his hot and wet tongue across, steaming her cheek. Jiang Yueying, feeling powerless, held onto his shoulders, breathing slowly.
She complained pitifully: "You're too much..."
Xie Yuting was at ease: "Call me husband and I'll forgive you."
“No…”
He pinched her again and threatened in a low voice: "If you don't yell, I'll slap you."
Jiang Yueying was quite assertive: "Whatever you want."
Humph, it’s just a spanking. It’s not like I’ve never done that before, so I’m not afraid.
Xie Yuting was very interested: "So the little princess is not afraid. Then I have to see it clearly. Why not take off the cloth that is in the way this time?"
"?!" Jiang Yueying's eyes widened and she looked up at Xie Yuting, as if saying, are you a pervert?
The man's peach blossom eyes held a smile, and he looked at her leisurely.
In the end, Jiang Yueying was defeated, but she was able to bend and stretch herself and whispered: "Husband..."
"Husband, kiss Aying." He pinched her small chin and kissed her.
…
The next day, news that the third prince Xie Yusui was murdered on the way to exile shocked the court and the country, and Emperor Liang was furious.
Killing the prince under the feet of the emperor is tantamount to contempt for the royal family.
All the officials were terrified and felt a chill down their spines.
The hall was dead silent.
Emperor Liang was heartbroken and suspended court for seven days.
In the imperial study, Emperor Liang sat silently at his desk with his head bowed, stroking the Five Elements Mechanism Box. This was the last birthday gift Sui'er had given him...
I thought I could bring him back to Kyoto smoothly, so I didn't even go to see him. Who knew it would be our farewell forever.
Concubine Qiu kept crying, which gave him a headache, so he had no choice but to hide here and stare at a lifeless wooden box in a daze.
If he had known this, he would not have been so cruel as to order his exile, thus giving the villain an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Who is so bold as to murder the prince?
Emperor Liang had a splitting headache. Xiao Zhongzi, holding a tray, hurried forward and offered him a cup of hot tea.
Filled with anguish and with no one to confide in, Emperor Liang, with a haggard face, said: "Who on earth has harmed my son..."
Xiao Zhongzi timidly lowered his head and spoke haltingly: "Your Majesty's health is of paramount importance."
Emperor Liang had no interest in drinking tea and asked again in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand all those twists and turns. I only know one thing: murdering the prince is a grave crime. Unless I can truly benefit that person, how could I dare to commit such a crime punishable by death..."
After saying this, Xiao Zhongzi immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I am sorry for speaking too much, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Emperor Liang naturally understood this truth, but he was unwilling to admit it. If Sui'er died, who would benefit the most? It would be none other than the other princes...
Who is most likely to take the risk? It is King Xuan, who is as favored as the third prince.
But they are brothers. Emperor Liang frowned and tried hard to get rid of all distracting thoughts. However, once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would only take root and sprout, and could never be cut off.
The lights in King Xuan's mansion were bright.
King Xuan Xie Yutong sat quietly in Tingyu Pavilion, while the concubine beside him was pouring tea for him.
Seeing his gloomy face, the concubine lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "Your Highness, are you worried about the Third Prince?"
Xie Yutong shook his head: "His life or death has nothing to do with me. I just can't figure out one thing: who killed Xie Yusui?"
At the beginning, there were some rumors in Kyoto that the third prince was the man of destiny and would surely ascend to the throne in the future. He thought that the third prince was building momentum for himself, so he secretly added fuel to the fire behind the scenes and let the rumors reach his father's ears.
It now seems that the spread of rumors was not the third brother's idea. Coupled with the reselling of burial objects and the murder of Old Tutor Du, it was like a tight, suffocating spider web that trapped the third brother and strangled him to death.
Who is the manipulator behind the scenes?
It's creepy.
Among all the princes, the fourth one is a fool and should not have such scheming and planning. The eldest prince seems to be an honest man, but who knows whether he has ambitions in private, and it cannot be ruled out.
As for the eighth prince Xie Yubo, although he is young, he is like a mad dog when he becomes paranoid.
The eighth brother has always wanted to atone for his sins to Xie Yuting, so it is not impossible that he went crazy and killed the third brother.
But he always felt something was wrong, as if he had overlooked something.
The concubine speculated: "The Third Prince's temperament has changed drastically since he was nearly poisoned. Perhaps he accidentally offended someone..."
King Xuan's eyes suddenly darkened. Yes, ever since the third son almost took the drug that made him infertile, he began to suspect that the drug was his work, and then he tried to trip him up and cause trouble for him, both openly and covertly.
Someone was deliberately trying to alienate him and Xie Yusui.
But he sent people to investigate, and found that all the palace servants who had handled the food at the palace banquet were intact, and no one had been silenced. No matter how they investigated, there was no flaw, as if the poison appeared out of thin air.
Appearing out of nowhere...?
King Xuan was covered in cold sweat, and his chest was heaving.
Could it be...
His pupils contracted violently.
The concubine quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong with the prince?"
King Xuan's face was as gloomy as water, and his gentle appearance instantly broke. "What if Xie Yuting accidentally swallowed the poison? Was it himself who poisoned him?"
