Chapter 82 Be a Good Girl and Be This Prince's Person
Just as Shen Chu was enjoying the fragrant and soft feel of the couch, Pei Yuan's disdainful voice came from above her head.
"How come your skin is more delicate than a woman's, even though you're a man?"
Shen Chu chuckled, "I'm naturally beautiful, Your Highness must be jealous, right?"
Pei Yuan chuckled, pulled a porcelain bottle from under his pillow and tossed it to her, asking helplessly, "Can you read it now?"
Chen Chu took it and glanced at it; it was a skin-regenerating ointment.
She chuckled and tucked it into her arms. It didn't actually hurt that much; she was just making an excuse to avoid it.
She didn't understand why Pei Yuan wanted her to read to him.
"If I read it aloud, will Your Highness answer my question?"
Pei Yuan gave her a deep look and curled his lips: "I think you don't want to know the answer."
Chen Chu became even more curious and immediately opened the travelogue. "Let me read it!"
She smiled and took the travelogue, about to sit down on the soft couch.
The moment her bottom touched the soft couch, she heard Pei Yuan's disdainful voice: "Sit down."
I was almost able to sit down.
She sat on the footrest of the tatami mat, looking dejected, and began to read.
"Baochan Mountain is also known as Huashan..."
"Make the sound louder and clearer."
Ha, still being picky.
She paused for a moment, then raised her voice, "The area below is flat and open..."
"It's too big. I'm not deaf."
"oh."
Chen Chu cursed inwardly and lowered her voice.
For a moment, only her clear, unhurried voice filled the room.
Pei Yuan slowly closed his eyes, smelling the fragrance of wisteria so close to him.
Shen Chu had been reading more than ten pages of the travelogue and her throat was practically parched when she looked up and found that Pei Yuan had actually fallen asleep.
She's asleep!
So, making her read was a way to hypnotize her?
When someone is angry, you can only soothe them by sitting on a soft couch.
She rose quietly and slowly sat down on the soft couch.
Hmm, it really is comfortable; her desire to move to a larger room has only intensified.
Why do I suddenly feel so sleepy and tired?
It must be because the soft couch in front of me is too attractive.
Shen Chu felt her eyelids drooping and her whole body unconsciously lurched forward.
Pei Yuan's cold voice rang in my ears.
"Dare to get on my bed, and I, the prince, will chop you up."
She jolted awake and saw Pei Yuan looking at her with disgust.
In an instant, Shen Chu jumped off the bed with lightning speed, stood up straight, and stretched out her hand with a smile.
"Now that Your Highness has finished reading, may you begin?"
Pei Yuan sat up, his smile somewhat strange. "Think for yourself."
Chen Chu...
That dog Pei Yuan has no sense of martial ethics.
"Do you think I, the prince, would place my hopes on an imperial censor whose reliability is questionable?"
Chen Chu's heart skipped a beat, and the doubts that had been lingering in his mind were suddenly resolved.
Since Pei Yuan planned to eliminate the Third Prince, his plan must have been meticulous.
If allowing Liu Feng to appeal for justice is a crucial step, then someone in the Inspectorate must be willing to accept Liu Feng's petition.
If he doesn't know whether he will answer the call, who will?
Shen Chu suddenly looked up, her eyes wide, "Lord He is your man?"
"Heh, not too stupid, so your presumptuous actions almost ruined my plans."
Chen Chu...
I really want to curse.
She thought Pei Yuan wanted to use her as a vanguard to expose the Third Prince's crimes, and filled with righteous indignation and courage, she resolutely accepted the petition.
Because she shared a similar experience with Liu Feng, she was willing to be Pei Yuan's vanguard.
Little did she know that the other party didn't care about her at all, and had already arranged for Lord He to receive the petition.
Unexpectedly, Lord He was late because his old sow was giving birth, so he asked her to pick him up first.
Hmm, I should have expected it. Lord He usually looks so lifeless, but last time he ate Sichuan food so happily at the Sixth Prince's residence.
I thought the two were close friends despite their age difference, but it turns out they were actually mortal enemies.
She retorted defiantly, "Who said I ruined your plan? The Third Prince has now been executed, which proves the plan succeeded."
Pei Yuan sneered, "If it were Lord He who stepped forward, he would be experienced and not as impulsive as you, and would not have aroused Father's suspicion."
Shen Chu rubbed her fingers together, somewhat dejected.
In terms of experience, she is indeed no match for Lord He; she is still too inexperienced.
"But you are clever. Your words touched the heart of the Emperor, dispelling his doubts and even earning you the title of Imperial Envoy."
Shen Chu blinked. Was this supposed to be comforting?
So she's not actually that bad.
Her spirits lifted immediately, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness seems quite different from the rumors."
"This prince allows you to worship me."
Chen Chu... Ugh, pshaw!
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is Your Highness telling me all this? Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"
Pei Yuan leaned forward, his tall figure suddenly approaching, looking down at her with a wicked smile.
"Knowing my secret means you'll either be dead or become one of my men. Which do you choose?"
Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat, and she almost blurted out the word "pervert".
"Do I really have to choose?"
Pei Yuan glanced at her and tapped her head with his jade fan. "I've made my choice for you. Be a good girl and be my person. Be a good radish in my pit."
Otherwise... besides slicing potatoes, I'm also quite good at cutting radishes; you can give it a try.
Shen Chu felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason and quickly took three steps back. "Your Highness is quite the joker. I shall take my leave."
She opened the door and went out, unaware of Pei Yuan's deep gaze behind her.
When Chen Chuyi stepped outside, he was stunned to see the shivering chicks standing in the yard.
What are you doing?
The chicks—no, it was Li Chengxuan and his dragon boat teammates—rushed forward with shining eyes as soon as they saw her emerge, as if they had seen a savior.
"Ah Chu, what did the Sixth Prince ask you? He interrogated you for an entire hour."
"Brother Achu, did the Sixth Prince whip you?"
"I'm scared, will the Sixth Prince beat me to death? Waaah..."
Li Chengxuan looked at Shen Chu with eyes full of admiration.
"Ah Chu, you are the first person to walk out of the Flying Eagle Guard unharmed after being interrogated by the Sixth Prince. You are amazing."
"Brother Achu, tell us what the Sixth Prince likes to hear, and what his secrets are. Please teach us!"
Chen Chu.....
The trick was to deal with the Third Prince at night together with the Sixth Prince.
She drugged and assaulted him; he cut off his testicles with one hand.
She cleaned up the scene, and he stripped naked and hung it on the wall.
That's something I can't say.
Looking at the eager eyes, she chuckled, "His Highness the Sixth Prince enjoys listening to others read travelogues to him. Why don't you give it a try?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of wails erupted.
"Huh? It can only be a travelogue? There are too many words, I guess I won't recognize a lot of them."
"If I had known, I would have read more travelogues with my mother."
Shen Chu...you bunch of academic failures.
Before he could finish wailing, Sun Yan came over and dragged Li Chengxuan inside first.
Immediately, Li Chengxuan's trembling voice came from inside the room: "Your Highness, I don't know much about travelogues. Would you like to read the poems? Or perhaps the songs would be fine too?"
"Court music? Banquet music? Or perhaps folk music? You'd like to choose one?"
Pei Yuan: ?
