Chapter 252 I have never seen a man who is as cute as a little bird in my life
That night.
The lights on the top floor of the princess's library are bright.
Princess Changle sat slumped in front of the low table by the window, looking at the open wooden box in front of her, her eyes bloodshot and her whole body trembling.
Tears fell from her eyes, but she raised her red lips and laughed loudly in the rain of tears.
Laugh heartily.
A sad smile.
Laughing fiercely.
“Dead…dead…hahahaha!”
"Good death, you deserved it long ago!"
"May you go to the eighteen levels of hell and never be able to be reborn!"
A brazier was placed next to the low table, oil was poured in, and the entire wooden box was thrown into it. She watched with her own eyes as the box and the things inside were completely burned to ashes, her eyes cold and cruel.
The next morning, Princess Changle walked out of the library and ordered the maidservant who came to greet her, "Prepare hot water. I need to burn incense and bathe! Summon the Thirteenth Young Master to bed!"
At noon, Wei Li came out of the yamen and was about to get on the carriage to return to Wei Mansion when he accidentally bumped into a passerby.
After getting on the bus, he unfolded the note stuffed into his hand, which had a short message written on it.
——If you need me in the future, I will help you with all my strength.
No signature.
Wei Li smiled faintly and tore up the note.
The man was captured with the help of Uncle Duan Dao and his shadow guards. Otherwise, the shadow guards alone would not be able to kill all the masters around the Eighth King.
This is Uncle Duan Dao repaying the princess's kindness.
When the carriage reached the intersection of East Market, Wei Li got off and went into a teahouse, bought some snacks, and quietly handed the portrait to the teahouse owner.
This teahouse is one of the secret bases of Wangque Tower.
The Eighth Prince was stubborn and refused to reveal his true identity even after being tortured several times in the dark prison. It didn't matter whether he was kept alive or not.
With the portrait, it wouldn't take long to find out his identity with the connections in Wangque Tower.
After returning to the Wei Mansion and entering the study, Wei Li gave a few more orders. After the study became quiet, he turned his head and looked out the window.
In mid-February, the sun is warm, the grass is lush and the flowers are blooming, and the fragrance of flowers and plants wafts faintly in from the window.
"Young Master, what are you thinking about?" A deep and rich voice came from the corner of the study.
The young man turned around and looked at the tall figure standing quietly in the corner. "Uncle Zi Yi, is the spring scenery on Kongliu Island really this good? I wonder how Tianbao and Bai Yu are doing. Is everything going well?"
A man walked out from the corner. It was Zi Yi. "Young Master, you should call me by my name here. As long as Tian Bao is here, things over there will definitely go smoothly."
"Yeah." Thinking of those little friends, the boy raised the corner of his lips.
Only at this time did the smile on his face seem genuine.
…
On February 20th, the annual Poison King Competition on Kongliu Island officially began.
The event was held at the Outer Island Plaza.
The area circled in the center is the VIP seat, and the seats are already full.
They are all upper-class people dressed in brocade and rich.
Ordinary people who wanted to watch the excitement could only stand outside the venue. Even so, there were so many people that the entire square was packed.
If you can't squeeze in, you can book a window seat in the teahouses and restaurants around the square and look out the window.
People are like the sea, and voices are like the tide.
There were five people squeezed in front of the crowd. Two guards used brute force to squeeze out a small inch of space so that the master and his family of three could have a place to stay. They also had to act as human shields to separate the crowd from the back.
I was so tired that I was sweating all over.
Su Wu was so angry that he wanted to take off his shirt and bare his chest. He yelled, "No one is allowed to touch anyone, regardless of gender. Stay away from me."
Su Wen felt immense regret. Why had he looked down upon the image of a second-generation rich kid, a playboy and a vulgar man, when the role was assigned? Now that his back was being squeezed out like this, what was the point of doing it?
The two men became angry and took advantage of being pushed frequently to secretly punch the person standing in front of them in the waist and back.
Su An gritted his teeth in pain and stepped back, making the two guys grimaced.
Bai Yu had already hidden in front of Tian Bao and didn't suffer at all. He waved his jade fan gracefully and said, "Jiu Er, I'm lucky to have you."
Tian Bao's mouth twitched, and she tilted her head to look at the man who had shrunk a bit and leaned against her shoulder, "How can you be so huddled like this?"
She had never seen a man who was as petite and cuddly as a little bird in her life.
The man waved his jade fan and said confidently, "What's the point of being polite? You and I are husband and wife, so we don't need to be so particular about trivial matters."
At this moment, an even greater uproar erupted from all around.
On the field, the contestants appeared.
Tianbao and the others stopped playing around and became serious.
As the host of the event, Wu Hetai opened the event with an impassioned speech, and his moves were just right, showing the demeanor of a head of a prominent family.
Tianbao looked at the face that looked a bit like Du Grandpa, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Wu Hetai looks a bit like Du Yeye, but his demeanor and temperament are completely different.
As the head of a wealthy and prestigious family and the owner of Kongliu Island, Wu Hetai has a good aura cultivated in a wealthy environment for decades, and at first glance he looks like a superior person.
A cheerful face and boundless joy are the experiences of those who have everything going their way.
And beneath the appearance of a crazy and carefree Grandpa Du is a shameful past that he has forced himself to cover up. If you peel off the skin, you will find wounds hidden underneath.
Wu Hetai, the prominent Wu family, all the glory and halo they have are gained by betraying their poisonous grandfather.
How dare you be so proud.
"Master Wu is truly a capable man." A conversation from the back could be heard, the speakers expressing both envy and admiration. "Over twenty years ago, the Poison King Valley was destroyed. Out of brotherly love, Master Wu gritted his teeth and rebuilt it piece by piece, recruiting countless poison masters to rule the valley. He also personally organizes the Poison King Tournament every year, which is why it's such a grand and glorious event today."
"The brother you're talking about is the old poisonous creature who was invulnerable to poison, right? Although it happened many years ago, I've also heard that his brother is a complete piece of shit. After rising to prominence, he ignored his family and didn't care about them at all. He wasn't filial to his parents, and he didn't respect his brother. He's just an ungrateful bastard! It's a good thing that the Island Master still cares about brotherhood, humph!"
"Indeed, over twenty years ago, the Wu family wasn't a prominent family and was very poor. Du Buqin was known as the Poison King, and any pill he made could be sold for a lot of money. Later, it was even priceless. If he had been willing to support his family back then, the Wu family would have prospered long ago, and the island master wouldn't have had to struggle so hard to climb up the ladder step by step many years later."
"Fortunately, the head of the Wu family is now in great glory and is immune to the poison. Tsk, I don't know where the bones are left. People really need to have a conscience."
After a moment, there were several screams and cries from the back. The noise around was silenced and then there was chaos.
"What's going on? He was fine when I heard them talking just now. How come he suddenly fell to the ground?"
"Hiss! He's been poisoned! Look at him foaming at the mouth!"
"Who did this? He was so quick! I'm afraid he offended someone with his words. Everyone, stay away! It's really scary!"
None of the five people standing in the front looked back, as if it had nothing to do with them.
