The Fifth Young Master didn't care that he couldn't move his body, "My An'an is amazing."
Ang Lee clenched his fist. If it weren't for the other person's identity, he would have really wanted to poison him.
"Stop talking nonsense, what did you find out?"
Thinking of Yingmeng, Li An suppressed his anger.
"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you," the Fifth Young Master said, setting a condition.
Ang Lee took a deep breath and smiled. “I’ve researched a new drug that, when it gets on your skin, will make you feel like a million ants are crawling on you.”
Ang Lee pulled out a paper package, "No one has tested the new drug yet."
Ang Lee's threat was obvious.
"My men have discovered that the Zhu family has a stronghold in the desolate mountains outside the city, but the exact location cannot be found." The Fifth Young Master had already tried Li An's new medicine and did not want to try it again.
"Why can't we find it?" Li An had seen the Fifth Young Master's subordinates, and they were all very capable.
"After entering, my men unknowingly lost their way," the Fifth Prince said, puzzled.
"He's been poisoned."
"No." The Fifth Young Master had someone check, and there was no poisoning.
"I'll go take a look." Li An was very interested in the desolate mountain that the Fifth Young Master had mentioned.
"It's dangerous there, An'an, don't go."
If he were afraid of danger, Ang Lee would not travel.
"An'an, listen to my advice this time." The Fifth Prince, unable to move, stopped Li An.
"Move aside." Li An raised the paper package in his hand again.
"Go ahead and do it." The Fifth Young Master would rather test the medicine than let Li An take the risk.
Ang Lee gripped the paper package in his hand and walked past the Fifth Prince.
“An’an,”
"I'm going to the square."
"There's still an hour left before the selection process ends, no rush."
Li An ignored the Fifth Young Master and strode out, trying to shake off those behind him.
Unfortunately, Ang Lee's idea could not be realized.
Upon arriving at the town center square, the crowd grew larger and larger.
Looking at the flower-shaped fortune sticks in the fortune-telling container, many people know who the Flower King is.
Ang Lee listened to the surrounding discussions and heard the most popular choice: the two-colored camellia.
"The one An'an supports will become the Flower King," the Fifth Prince whispered in Li An's ear.
The warm breath he exhaled made the skin on the back of Ang Lee's neck turn red.
The Fifth Young Master looked on, his eyes darkening, longing to take a bite.
Sensing the strange look in the eyes of the person behind him, Ang Lee moved forward to avoid them.
"What's the rush? The road ahead isn't moving." The person in front of Li An turned around and shouted impatiently.
"I'm sorry," Li An apologized.
“We don’t want to be squeezed from behind. Hurry up and walk faster.” The Fifth Young Master said as he walked forward, his chest pressed against Li An’s back.
"Don't go too far."
Ang Lee offered a warning in a harsh tone.
"It was too crowded at the back, there was nothing I could do."
"Hurry up ahead," the Fifth Young Master urged the person in front.
There was a crowd, so the person in front quickened their pace slightly. Reaching the corner, there was a small gap, and Li An tried to avoid the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Young Master pulled Li An aside and hid behind the fence.
Ang Lee wanted to struggle.
*Slap!* The sound of a slap reached my ears.
"Useless, a bunch of useless trash." A familiar woman's voice reached his ears.
Ang Lee recognized Zhao Hong's voice.
Ang Lee stopped struggling and listened attentively.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Fifth Prince pulled Li An into his arms, rested his chin on Li An's neck, and stared at Li An's profile with a look of enjoyment.
An An's face is so small, her skin is so fair, and her eyelashes are so long...
When Ang Lee heard Zhao Hong say that a group of people would be sent to the valley that night, he was told to make sure everything was arranged properly and that there were no mistakes.
Like a pillow offered to someone who's sleepy, Ang Lee was planning to follow suit.
Ang Lee had a feeling that this trip would help him unravel the mystery in his heart.
When she turned to talk to the Fifth Prince, she realized that he was standing very close to her.
She got so close that her lips touched those of the Fifth Prince.
Ang Lee wanted to escape.
How could the Fifth Prince possibly give up such delicious food that he had already obtained it?
With one arm around Ang Lee's waist, she used the other hand to press his head close to hers.
Unable to move his hands and feet, Ang Lee opened his mouth to bite.
It gave the other party a chance.
Ang Lee's eyes widened. How dare he?
Ang Lee was furious, his eyes blazing with anger. He struggled violently.
Li An learned martial arts from Chen Xiang and could handle three or five ordinary men without any problem. But against a top-notch master like the Fifth Young Master, he was no match for him.
Upon tasting the blood in his mouth, the Fifth Prince withdrew.
"An'an," the Fifth Prince wanted to check the injury on Li An's mouth.
Ang Lee stepped back to avoid the attack, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave.
The Fifth Prince understood that Li An was angry, but he did not regret it and did not want to wait any longer.
Li An pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and wandered aimlessly around the square.
I was very annoyed by what had just happened.
He was worried that Ye Yunniang might be angry if she found out.
"Young master."
The enthusiastic call interrupted Ang Lee's thoughts.
"Young master."
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the owner of the two-colored camellia.
Ang Lee approached the table and said, "Congratulations, young lady."
"We can't say we'll definitely win until the very last moment," the girl said modestly, but her face betrayed barely suppressed excitement and a hint of pride.
"My name is Hua Ling. May I ask your surname, young master?"
"My surname is Li, and I am a doctor."
"Are you a doctor?"
"Doesn't look like it?"
"No." Hua Ling quickly shook her head. She was just a little surprised. Li An looked like a refined and noble young man.
"Young master, you're so young to be practicing medicine, your medical skills must be very high."
"It is what I admire about this young girl that she was able to cultivate the king of flowers at such a young age."
"Hua Ling expresses her high hopes for Young Master Xie." Hua Ling blushed as she spoke, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Li An.
The Fifth Prince, having tidied himself up, arrived and saw this scene.
A surge of jealousy welled up inside her, and she strode forward.
"What are you talking about? Count me in." The Fifth Young Master walked up to Li An.
Li An subtly shifted his body to the side, glanced at the Fifth Young Master, and signaled him to stop.
If he were obedient, he wouldn't be the Fifth Young Master. He forcefully draped his arm over Li An's shoulder.
"The bicolor camellias cultivated by the girl are the best I have ever seen."
With outsiders present, Li An couldn't struggle, but he firmly stepped on the Fifth Prince's foot.
Hua Ling sensed that the atmosphere between the two people in front of her was not right, and she felt a chill down her spine when facing the Fifth Young Master.
Knock knock knock!
Three drumbeats signaled the end of the Flower King selection.
Everyone left the central area of the square, leaving only the flowers, their owner, and the officials.
In front of everyone, the yamen runners counted the flower slips inside the flower tube.
Hua Ling's bicolor camellia ranked 591 votes.
The first place has 593 votes.
Hua Ling missed out on the title of Flower Queen by two votes. Li An felt it was a pity.
"These are the results of the public vote, but there's also a professional vote," the Fifth Young Master said.
Mayor Zhu Fuying led the six former Flower Kings to the square.
Each of them has 10 votes, which they cast for their favorite flower.
You can give all 10 votes to one flower, or you can distribute the flower among multiple people.
70 votes cast.
The previous first place had 621 votes.
Two-color camellia received 622 votes.
"The winner of this year's Flower King award is—the bicolor camellia."
