Chapter 587 Let Him Use Us
Seeing his awkward look, Xiao Xixi said unhappily.
"Is face so important? Is it more important than chasing after a wife?"
Luo Yechen angrily retorted: "Who, who is chasing after a wife? Don't talk nonsense, with my status, I can have any woman I want. Why would I need to chase after her?!"
Xiao Xixi: "In that case, you don't have to write the storybook yourself. Just go to the bookstore and buy a few copies for her. You don't need her favor anyway, so just do whatever you want."
Luo Yechen: "But she saved me after all, I have to repay her anyway."
"There are many ways to repay her. You can choose a simpler one, such as giving her money."
Luo Yechen: "She doesn't need money."
Xiao Xixi sighed sincerely: "I didn't expect that there are people in this world who don't need money. That's amazing! Then tell me, what does she want?"
Luo Yechen immediately recalled the scene where Qi Shengyan knelt on the ground and begged him to cancel the engagement.
What she wants most now is probably to cancel the engagement.
But this marriage was granted by the emperor and cannot be cancelled.
What's more, Luo Yechen doesn't really want to cancel this marriage now.
As for the reason, he didn't want to go into details.
Luo Yechen hesitated again and again, took a deep breath, and silently told himself that a real man can bend and stretch!
He took a step forward, gritted his teeth and slowly moved in front of the prince, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze out a few hard words.
"Prince, do you still remember the story Concubine Xiao told you yesterday?"
Luo Qinghan was reading a book. Hearing this, he glanced at him and replied calmly, "Yeah."
"Then, can you please tell me the story again?"
When he said this, Luo Yechen felt so embarrassed that his whole face turned red.
Luo Qinghan: "I'm a little thirsty."
Luo Yechen immediately poured a cup of tea and placed it next to him.
Luo Qinghan added: "My shoulders are a little sore."
Luo Yechen frowned and wanted to say "Don't be too pushy", but after hesitating, he didn't say it out loud. After all, he was the one who needed help.
He held his breath and stretched out his hand to massage Luo Qinghan's shoulders.
Luo Qinghan blocked his hand with a book and said with disdain.
"With your clumsy hands and feet, I dare not let you massage my shoulders."
Then Luo Qinghan looked at Xiao Xixi who was standing nearby watching the show.
"Come and give me a shoulder massage."
Xiao Xixi opened her big innocent eyes and said, "It was the King of England who asked you to do something, not me."
Luo Qinghan: "But I just like to order you around."
Xiao Xixi had no choice but to move over at a snail's pace.
She placed her two paws on the prince's shoulders and massaged them from time to time.
Luo Qinghan put down the book, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then spoke slowly.
"Would you like to start from the beginning?"
Luo Yechen nodded and said yes.
He prepared paper and pen, and wrote down every word the prince said.
The prince's ability to remember everything he saw was truly extraordinary. He repeated the story that Xiao Xixi had told him yesterday word for word.
Luo Yechen wrote more than a dozen sheets of paper.
He rubbed his sore arm and complained, "I'm so tired. Don't let me catch that little thief from last night, or I'll skin him alive!"
If the thief hadn't stolen his outline draft, he wouldn't have had to write the outline again.
Luo Qinghan: "Have you ever thought about why a thief would steal your manuscript?"
Luo Yechen said as a matter of course.
"That must be because I am so talented. The works I wrote made the thieves fall in love with them and couldn't help but want to take them back to appreciate them carefully."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Forget it, let him continue to be stupid.
Luo Yechen left the imperial mausoleum with the draft outline.
Xiao Xixi stopped pinching his shoulders and asked curiously.
"Your Highness, how did you know that the King of England's manuscripts would be stolen?"
"There are so many spies guarding outside the imperial mausoleum. If the King of England comes to see me in such a swagger, he will definitely be seen by those spies. They probably think that the King of England and I are plotting something. In their eyes, those draft outlines should be evidence of our conspiracy."
Xiao Xixi was stunned: "Aren't they thinking too much?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "The smarter a person thinks they are, the more they like to play tricks."
In Canglan Garden.
King Xiling threw the dozen pieces of paper to the ground and said angrily.
"What the hell is this? Is this the evidence of the connection between the Crown Prince and the King of England that you mentioned? Are you kidding me?!"
Because he was too angry, the poison in his body took effect, causing him to turn pale in pain and break out in cold sweat.
Xie Chuxue quickly took out a pain-relieving pill and handed it to him, feeding it to him.
She advised softly, "Father, don't be angry. It would be bad if you get angry and hurt your body."
King Xiling covered his chest, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
A subordinate knelt on the ground, head lowered, not daring to breathe.
After a long while, King Xiling spoke again, his voice cold and low.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The subordinate said with a trembling voice: "I saw the King of England come out of the imperial mausoleum with these papers. He looked very excited, as if he had found some treasure. I guess he might be plotting something with the Crown Prince. Those papers should record the contents of their plan..."
King Xiling interrupted him with a sneer.
"After you stole these papers, did you read what was on them?"
The subordinate hurriedly said, "I dare not peek."
King Xiling pointed at the papers on the ground and said with gritted teeth: "Read them to me now, without missing a single word, read them all!"
The subordinate stretched out his trembling hands, picked up the papers on the ground, and looked through them one by one.
He was a little confused at first, but gradually became dazed as he watched further on.
Finally he realized that he had stolen the wrong thing!
This is not a conspiracy plan at all, but a mess of stories!
The subordinate kowtowed vigorously: "I have failed to do my job well, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
King Xiling didn't want to look at him any longer, so he waved his hand and guards rushed in immediately, covered the subordinate's mouth and dragged him out.
Xie Chuxue bent down, stretched out her slender fingers, and picked up the paper on the ground.
She scoffed after reading the contents of the paper.
"This King of England is really an idiot. Not only is he uneducated, but even his handwriting is so ugly."
King Xiling turned his head away and said, "Burn these things for me. I don't want to see them again."
Whenever he saw the contents on those papers, he felt humiliated as if his IQ was being trampled on.
Xie Chuxue said, "I think the story on this paper is quite interesting. A loser surprises everyone with a comeback. The King of England can actually write such a story. Does it mean that he also wants to be like the protagonist and come back to power?"
Prince Xiling sneered: "No matter what, he is the eldest prince. He must have some thoughts about that position."
Xie Chuxue: "Didn't you say that King You is hard to control? Why don't we add another weight?"
"you mean……"
Xie Chuxue shook the paper in her hand and smiled slightly: "Since the King of England wants to counterattack, we can use this as bait and let him do what we want."
