Chapter 81 Persuasion

He scolded me for no reason and I was totally confused.

Sui Yan vented his anger for a while, then calmed down and asked, "Why are you here? Where is the prince now?"

Wu Shi said, "When you came out with the Second Young Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chased you out, and he is probably still in Tianshui Lane now."

Sui Yan nodded and said, "Find me a carriage, I'll go back and talk to him."

Wu Shi agreed, and before they had taken two or three steps, a carriage slowly stopped beside them.

Sui Yan looked at Wu Shi in surprise and said, "I just said you had found it, isn't it too fast?"

Wu Shi felt a little embarrassed and whispered: "This... this is not..."

Sui Yan also knew it. He laughed and tilted his head to look at the carriage beside him.

A hand gently opened the curtain, Duan Ruwang smiled and said softly, "Wang Gui, do you need me to give you a ride?"

Sui Yan's mood suddenly turned bad.

He resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and said with a fake smile, "Don't bother your highness."

His refusal was so obvious that Duan Ruwang waved his hand forward, not knowing whether he was pretending not to understand what he meant.

The servant who drove the carriage jumped off and stood respectfully in front of Sui Yan, saying, "My Lord, please come in."

Sui Yan took a half step back without leaving a trace, and stood beside him with a cold face.

Sui Yan said calmly: "Wang Gui has something important to do first. The Second Prince is kind-hearted and will not force anyone to do anything."

Duan Ruwang smiled and said, "No, I am a cruel person. The one who is kind-hearted should be my brother, the crown prince. The marquis must have flattered the wrong person."

Sui Yan: “…”

From the looks of it, he seemed to really intend to force Sui Yan to come up.

The carriages blocking the long street were really eye-catching, and during the stalemate between the two men, some people had already stopped to watch.

Duan Ruwang said, "If you want to remain in a stalemate, that's fine. I'll be there for you any time."

This was a bit too shameless. Sui Yan glared at him fiercely, then waved his hand to let Wu Shi leave, and stepped on the horse stool with a cold face to get on the carriage.

Before Sui Yan sat down, the carriage started moving impatiently.

There was a small table in the carriage, with a small carved incense burner placed on it, with white mist-like smoke rising from it.

Sui Yan sat aside from him at a distance, his face full of alienation and indifference.

"What's the matter, Your Highness? Please speak directly. I have other things to do, so I'm afraid I can't stay with you for long."

Duan Ruwang glanced at the smoke rising from the incense burner and said softly, "I just passed by Tianshui Lane. The prince has already boarded the carriage and returned to the palace. You won't be able to find him even if you go."

Sui Yan remained calm and said calmly, "Really?"

He didn't believe it.

Duan Ruwang looked at his indifferent look and smiled. He stretched out his hand and gently brushed the top of the incense burner. The smoke that was rising straight up was crushed and scattered at will.

"Does Wanggui know what kind of fragrance this is?"

Sui Yan was completely focused on Duan Mingchong and didn't pay any attention to the incense burners that could be seen everywhere. When Duan Ruwang said this, he reacted instantly and looked at him in shock.

"you……"

He raised his sleeves to cover his lips and said coldly, "Destroy it!"

Duan Ruwang smiled and said, "This is the incense I got from my fifth brother. How come this medicinal incense, which he regarded as his life, has become worthless and avoided by the Marquis?"

Sui Yan said: "I say, destroy it."

Duan Ruwang didn't move.

Sui Yan was very concerned about his life, so he stretched out his hand with a cold face, intending to put out the fire himself. However, before he could touch the incense burner, Duan Ruwang grabbed his wrist.

Sui Yan said coldly: "Let go."

Duan Ruwang leaned forward slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "How does stigma taste?"

With a "bang", Sui Yan, without blinking, used Ru Wang's hand to knock over the incense burner in front of him. The unburned incense in the incense burner rolled onto the wooden board of the carriage, and the smoke instantly became thicker.

Duan Ruwang was very strong, and Sui Yan's wrist was pinched purple when he tried to free it.

Without even looking at it, he took off his outer robe expressionlessly and threw it on the ground to cover up the pervasive medicinal fragrance.

Duan Ruwang did not stop him, but looked at him with his chin supported, as if smiling.

After Sui Yan finished this action, he looked at him coldly: "You will get it one day."

Now that they had already fallen out, Sui Yan no longer had any scruples. Even though Duan Ruwang was crazy, he didn't have the courage to kill him now.

Hearing Sui Yan say this, Duan Ruwang did not get angry but laughed instead.

He propped up his chin, his eyes full of smiles: "Wang Gui, you are so interesting, no wonder the Crown Prince protects you so much, even my third brother is obsessed with you."

Sui Yan sneered: "Of course, but you don't have to flatter me. I can't stand it."

Duan Ruwang seemed to be interested in Sui Yan and asked curiously, "Does Wang Gui really have feelings for the prince? Is this just a whim of a young man?"

Sui Yan said impatiently: "This matter should have nothing to do with you, please stop the car, I want to go home."

He slammed the wall of the carriage heavily, but the driver in front turned a deaf ear and the carriage continued to move forward.

Before I knew it, the hustle and bustle around me gradually disappeared, probably because I had arrived at a remote place.

Duan Ruwang smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious, Lord? I have something important to discuss with you. Don't you want to listen?"

Sui Yan knew that Duan Ruwang would not let him go for a while, so he had no choice but to put down his red hands and said coldly: "Second Prince, what is the matter? Just tell me directly."

Duan Ruwang knocked lightly on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage stopped leisurely.

Sui Yan lifted the curtain and looked outside, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The ice and snow and the wilderness are perfect for killing and silencing people.

Sui Yan was not panicked either. He leaned against the wall of the car and looked at Duan Ruwang coldly.

Duan Ruwang also found a comfortable position to lean against, and said lightly: "Wang Gui, have you ever thought about cooperating with me?"

Sui Yan heard this, as if he had heard a big joke, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Second Prince, are you kidding me? Then I have to thank you very much, this is really funny."

Duan Ruwang looked at him calmly and smiled: "I'm serious."

After Sui Yan smiled, her beautiful face instantly turned cold.

His expression changed rapidly, his eyes full of disgust. "I'm afraid I won't live many years because of your poison, and you've been sending people to assassinate me all the time. What? Do you want me to cooperate with someone who wants my life? What about cooperation? How can I die perfectly and gracefully in your hands?"

Duan Ruwang said: "From the beginning to the end, I never thought of harming you."

"Yes." Sui Yan said, "If you really wanted to harm me, would I have already been extinct in the wilderness?"

Every word he said was full of thorns, but Duan Ruwang was not angry at all. Instead, the interest in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

"If the prince really ascends the throne in the future, it will be impossible for you two to succeed. Even so, will you watch him ascend the throne?"

Sui Yan looked at him sarcastically: "Who do you think I am?"

"How he chooses is his business, how I love him is my own business, why do you confuse the two?" Sui Yan said, "On the contrary, you don't fight with the prince properly, but actually try to start with me. Why do you think that I can hinder him from the throne just to be with the prince?"

Duan Ruwang smiled and said, "Aren't you that kind of person?"

Sui Yan was startled.

Duan Ruwang said softly, "Aren't you the kind of person who will do anything to achieve your goal? You just want to get someone. Is there anything else you need to be cautious about?"

Duan Ruwang stood up straight, leaned forward, and looked straight at Sui Yan, his eyes full of madness that was suppressed by reason.

"Now that he's the emperor, you have no choice but to let go." Duan Ruwang lowered his voice and whispered in Sui Yan's ear like a ghost, "You've brought disgrace upon yourself for him, and I'm afraid you won't live long. He knows it all, but he doesn't know your feelings..."

Sui Yan was a little stunned, looking at him in astonishment, and said: "He...he knows now..."

Duan Ruwang's voice became even softer: "Oh? He knows? Then he knows your feelings but insists on being his crown prince. Where does that put you?"

Sui Yan said in a hoarse voice: "He, he..."

He couldn't tell.

"You suffered from illness all year round because of him, but he didn't care at all." Duan Ruwang said.

"Wang Gui, is your life so worthless?"

Sui Yan shuddered violently and looked at him in shock.

In the previous life, in Xiangguo Temple, Duan Ruwang stood in front of the ancient Buddha with green lamps and dishevelled hair. Even in such a shabby look, he was still elegant and graceful.

At that time, Duan Ruwang's eyes were gentle but sinister, and he smiled strangely and said, "Wang Gui, Duan Zhisu is not as harmless and innocent as you think. You are wasting your life for him..."

"Is your life so worthless?"

Duan Ruwang's murmurs in his previous life and his words at this moment seemed to overlap, causing Sui Yan's mind to be in turmoil and chaos.

"My life..." Sui Yan murmured, "Is it so cheap?"

Duan Ruwang said softly, "Born as a human, you will go through the six realms of reincarnation. Who can know whether you will be a human or a ghost in your next life? You are so smart, why don't you take your life seriously?"

Sui Yan: “I didn’t…”

Sui Yan felt a little drowsy, his mind in a mess. He seemed to be led by Duan Ruwang's words, and unknowingly he felt that his words made sense.

Sui Yan thought to himself in bewilderment, "Yes, I was so foolish and trusting in my last life. Why did I ruin the life I finally got by giving it to someone who has no chance of being with me?"

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He suddenly felt a pain in his heart and seemed to regain consciousness for a moment.

Sui Yan's pupils shrank.

It's the incense I just lit.

Sui Yan clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug into his palms, causing his hands to bleed. The pain also made him shudder and wake up completely.

Duan Ruwang was still looking at him, with a smile in his eyes.

Sui Yan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "How you fight with Duan Mingchong is a matter between the two of you. It has nothing to do with me. I will not help him ascend the throne, nor will I go along with you to harm him."

Duan Ruwang asked, "Are you sure?"

Sui Yan said: "That's all I have to say."

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and was about to get off the car.

The guard in front of the carriage hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Duan Ruwang had no intention of asking him to stop anyone, he had to let Sui Yan get off the carriage.

Sui Yan staggered slightly when he jumped off the carriage, but managed to stand firmly. He didn't even look around, and walked forward calmly as if he knew the way back.

Duan Ruwang was silent for a long time in the carriage, then he closed his eyes slightly and smiled, "What a pity."

Originally, one person could be dragged into this turmoil. If Sui Yan also got involved, no matter who he helped, the court would definitely be very interesting.

The carriage moved forward quickly and caught up with Sui Yan in the snow. Duan Ruwang lifted the curtain and said, "Wang Gui, get in. I'll take you home."

Sui Yan was not wearing an outer robe, and his body was shivering slightly as he walked in the snow. He sneered and walked on his own: "Don't bother your highness."

Who knew that Duan Ruwang would light incense in the carriage to plot against him again? Sui Yan learned his lesson after suffering such a loss, and refused to get in the carriage no matter what.

Duan Ruwang frowned and said, "I won't touch you. It's snowing heavily now and you don't know the way. If something happens..."

Sui Yan snorted: "No need for you to pretend to be kind."

It turns out that it wasn't him who brought me to this remote place.

Sui Yan cursed Duan Ruwang in his heart, and seeing that he was planning to have someone drag him onto the carriage, he quickly ran into the woods nearby.

The guard looked at Sui Yan's thin back and said hesitantly, "Your Highness..."

Duan Ruwang frowned, and after a long while he sighed and said, "Let's go and give Sui Xun a message."

The guard said yes and drove the carriage towards the capital.

The author has something to say: MLM leader Duan Ruwang: Welcome to join me in stirring up trouble.

Sui Yan kicked his Amway over with one kick.
