Chapter 48: The Minister’s Wife 48: The King Seizes the Minister’s Wife? What kind of minister’s wife is this?
Listening to the "gentle" words of advice in a consultative tone, Lu Huaifu suddenly understood the truth hidden in the fog - it turned out that Shen San really did not betray him, but was coerced by the monarch by using the evidence of a man disguising himself as a woman to deceive the monarch.
This made him feel the most sad and uncontrollable knot in his heart suddenly untied, and for a moment his heart felt empty.
When this emptiness was filled by the obvious reality of being surrounded by two people with whom he had a strange relationship and who should have had nothing to do with him, Lu Huai wanted to escape from this prison immediately. He would carefully examine his "deceased wife" to see if she had any injuries. After confirming this, he would open his heart to Shen San and tell him his endless longing.
But Chu Yuanting looked at him with a half-smile, but his eyes were full of heat, conveying a determination to hear his answer, and it seemed that he would not give him a chance.
Lu Huai also didn't know what the emperor's intention was in making such a big fuss today and specially hosting a banquet to invite officials just to push his Shen San to the front for so many people to see.
A lover should be devoted to his or her partner. If she really... loved him or her, how could she feel at ease doing such a thing to Shen San?
But he had no time to think about the emotional connection between the three people in the field, including himself.
Chu Yuanting stared at him intently. The scorching temperature seemed to roast him, making it unbearable for this gentleman who always observed etiquette. Subconsciously, he sensed the danger and involuntarily took a step back to the side away from him.
That tiny movement was noticed by the two male beasts who were dazed by the beatings overtly and covertly. Suddenly, relief and joy appeared in the eyes of one of them, while the air beside the other was frozen and suddenly dropped two degrees.
"Why is Yan Jin hiding from me?"
Instantly, Lu Huai felt his wrist being clamped by someone's hot big hand. He knew without raising his eyes that it came from the direction he was dodging.
"Your Majesty, I did not intend to do so." He turned his head away, not wanting to look directly at that handsome face that was so noble and elegant that even looking at it for too long would be disrespectful and made him, a subject, feel ashamed of himself. He was afraid that the collapse of his faith would continue to accelerate.
He wholeheartedly wanted to relieve his worries and benefit the people, but how could this person be like this... After being honest, he was unwilling to even endure it for a moment...
Chu Yuanting's movements were so stubborn, not squeezing him tight enough to make him uncomfortable, yet leaving him no chance of escaping reality. The warmth from the most distinguished man in the world was so unfamiliar and yet so intense, bringing more than just shame.
Lu Huai finally saw clearly how tyrannical and overbearing the wise and wise monarch he once admired could be when it came to love. If he had known that his diligent efforts, devoted to treating him as a mentor, would instead lead to him being exploited and exploited, he would never again be so vulnerable.
Chu Yuanting really had aggressive thoughts towards him that were against the world and disregarded the loyalty between the ruler and his subjects. It seemed that if he could verbally agree, he would do those two strokes on Mosuo's lips more directly so that he could see clearly.
He said that it was to let him know more quickly and clearly what Bai Wenjing felt towards him. I'm afraid he did it this way because he wanted to...
The king's patience had run out, so Chu Yuanting asked him, "Why didn't Yan Jin say anything?"
"I··"
"Don't worry, Yanjin. I will definitely respect Yanjin's choice. A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
But the heart of an emperor is the most unpredictable. You are tolerant and generous at this moment, but if he wants to pull Shen San's hand to go out the next second, and this person changes his mind and vents his anger on Shen San, then it will be an even worse thing.
At this moment, Chen Chensheng was also staring at him with sharp eyes, as if he was looking forward to his response.
But this only made his situation worse. He thought that someone as smart and vigilant as Shen San should be able to understand his painstaking efforts to compromise. But if that was really the case, he would not have impulsively gotten into a fight with His Majesty just now.
It's true that men always lose their minds when they are in a hurry... Lu Huai smiled bitterly, just as he had never realized before that an ordinary scholar like himself would be involved in so many romantic affairs that made him breathless.
Now, the evidence has been handed to Chu Yuanting. When the time comes, he will accuse them of deceiving the emperor and attempting assassination. The two crimes will be combined. Then both of them will be unable to escape, and the ending of separation will inevitably repeat itself.
0359 really wants to freeze the world, but this prop has been used before and is still in the cooling period.
It whispered tremblingly: "Huai Huai... Huai~ What a strange situation, shouldn't the one who was abducted and married off be Shen San? Now how come the one who was abducted is switched?"
At this moment, the host was trying hard to suppress the expression of despair on Lu Huai's face, which did not belong to the small world. The kid's careful test was simply adding insult to injury.
"Xiaojiu, this is a bit outrageous... Let me see how to rescue her. First, let me escape from this extreme challenge of choosing between two options."
"Okay." 0359 listened to the tired voice of the host, looked at the two old faces of the protagonist, the top and the bottom, who were staring at each other with serious OOC, and silently closed his microphone.
What it was thinking about just now was to ease the host's psychological pressure and tell a joke:
"The key to the world of 'The King Seizes His Minister's Wife' is seizing his minister's wife, isn't it? In the future, Chen Chensheng will inherit the Duke's Mansion as a minister, no matter what. If Chu Yuanting takes Huai Huai away, wouldn't that also be considered seizing the minister's wife... Although the characters have changed a little, the core of the story remains the same, right?"
However, after feeling the pressure of the situation, it also felt that its words were not appropriate. Not only did they fail to soothe Huai Huai, but once they were spoken, they would probably add fuel to the fire and make Huai Huai further lose his defense. So it kept silent.
Little did he know that Lu Huai actually had a lot of complaints in his heart, and felt that even if he survived this time, it would probably ruin the plot.
He closed his eyes, thinking shamefully that the only way to avoid being "skinned" was to make full use of his personality to fan the flames. However, this strategy was still too advanced for him to use on people of the same sex. It was a huge challenge to break through himself.
"Your Majesty, you and Shen San are both very important people in Huai's heart and cannot be separated, but Huai has already made up his mind about this." Lu Huai's eyes wandered between the two of them, and finally he hardened his heart and passed by his "deceased wife" who was in his heart, and fixed his sight on Chu Yuanting.
Although Chu Yuanting knew that he had obtained the promise by despicable means, he was still happy to be chosen by the top scholar. Before he could feel proud for two seconds, he heard Lu Huai continue to ask:
“But Your Majesty, I also want to ask you something. You keep saying that you are happy with me, so why did you declare in public that Shen San is your wife?”
He pursed his lips slightly, with a struggle of shyness and dissatisfaction in his eyes. He glanced at him with a hook and then withdrew, "Your love, this heart, can't be given to both Chen San and me."
"Huai... has always advocated for a lifelong couple."
Seeing Shen Shensheng's face gradually gray and dark to the bottom of the valley, he felt pain in his heart, but he had to restrain Chu Yuanting's sight. I don't know why, until now, even if everything he did was hurting the other party, he still believed that Shen San could understand his intentions.
So he hardened his heart and looked directly at Chu Yuanting's thoughtful face. He said in a low voice that made his cheeks and ears blush: "If you want me, then explain it clearly, otherwise I won't believe it at all."
Chu Yuanting felt as if he was floating in the clouds. How could he possibly see Lu Huai in such a state one day so closely?
When the soft eyes of his beloved strangled all his sharpness, he suddenly understood what it meant to be blinded by lust.
Even though he knew that the other party's admiring attitude was too awkward and was probably displayed in order to pass the current hurdle, and he knew that with Lu Huai's personality, he should feel ashamed and unbearable for such an extraordinary admiration for him as a king, he still chose to deceive himself by following his words.
"My relationship with Third Master Shen is just a business one."
"Yan Jin is not someone who cannot be trusted, so I won't hide it from you. From now on, as long as you are willing, all matters can be opened to you..."
Chu Yuanting's hand caressed Lu Huai's face with restraint and cherishment, looking at the man who was trying to remain calm but still couldn't hide his panicked expression of wanting to escape. In the end, he couldn't bear to take advantage of him so quickly, and stopped before Shen Chensheng picked up the blade on the ground to attack.
Rather than relying on his authority to forcibly plunder the body of this thin scholar who looked unable to withstand the wind and waves, he greedily wanted to capture and devour Lu Huai's heart, let him truly feel his love, and let him not be disappointed in himself because of his previous despicable means.
Chu Yuanting's peripheral vision had also been paying attention to Shen San's changes. In fact, he was already prepared to take him away if he suddenly attacked. But seeing the minister who looked like Bai Tan was struggling between the two of them like dewdrops hitting him and was overwhelmed, he didn't want to add to his worries and didn't call anyone in.
But he didn't know that the two confidants guarding the door had been quietly replaced by Pei Yu and Cheng Ruochen, who had been knocked unconscious and disguised. After all, the strongest Eleven had been transferred to another place to do a mission, and the others had been taken away by him. The only one left was the unlucky Zero Seven Zero Eight who had made a joke and bumped into the door of his wooden warehouse.
When he wanted to have a good talk with the number one scholar and let Chen Chensheng go out in a gentle manner, he could only look at the other party's motionless figure like a wife-waiting stone and get angry for a long time, and then he could only use the person outside the door as a bargaining chip to remind him.
"It's getting late, and the Third Young Master has important matters to attend to. Two companions are already waiting not far away. I hope you won't forget to make arrangements."
Chen Chensheng looked at Lu Huai, who was staring at him with an anxious and worried expression. He understood his lip shape and thought he was saying "go quickly". He looked at him deeply again, said "I'm not worthy" without saying a word, and turned out of the door surprisingly obediently to Chu Yuanting's surprise.
But unexpectedly, I ran into two people who looked familiar even though half of their faces were covered. "You guys?"
"Are Your Majesty and Yan Jin the only ones left inside now? What did Your Majesty do to Yan Jin in there?"
Chen Chensheng sneered, "Even after eavesdropping for so long, I know what's going on inside. How come you two are both pillars of the court, yet you need a commoner like me to translate this?"
Cheng Ruochen ignored his sarcasm and asked directly and treasonously, "Is that fellow surnamed Chu relying on his power to seize my brother Ah Huai?"
Looking at Shen San's beautiful face, which didn't respond but became even colder, he snorted coldly, "How could such a monarch be worthy of Lu Huai's following? Anyway, I, Cheng Ruochen, have nothing but an official title and empty reputation. At worst, I will risk everything to break this sky. In short, I will never let him be controlled by others."
He pointed at the two men beside him and said, "You two are both very popular, young and promising, highly respected, and have countless ties behind you. Right now, it's only a wanderer like me with no ambitions who can be of use."
After saying that, he walked straight in, with a carefree attitude, ready to face the wind and rain.
Pei Yu did not refute, but secretly exerted force with his fists and then stepped forward.
Chen Chensheng had somewhat changed his mind about Cheng Ruochen. Due to his personality, he couldn't shake his usual cautious mindset, nor did he have the courage to make a desperate move. Even if he had, he had held back at his young husband's earnest request for the sake of himself and his future. But now, he seemed no match for this "watchdog."
He had never been favored by Lu Huai and was just a loyal dog waiting for mercy, but he was the one who rushed to the front in the battle. How ironic!
Thinking that Cheng Ruochen was right to scold him, he turned around and walked back into the door he had stepped out of.
After Chu Yuanting had calmed down and suppressed the desire that was rising and surging in his solitude, which was to press the number one scholar down on the couch and not attend the morning court, he smiled gently and sat down side by side with Lu Huai.
When they placed their hands on his shoulders as usual while chatting, both of them shuddered due to the change in the situation.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to reach its climax, Lu Huai could no longer control his extremely tense state and felt a little drowsy. He looked weak, bright and attractive. He couldn't help himself and was about to taste the sweetness of the soft lips touched by his fingers.
Just touching it with your hands is not enough...
But the sound of someone breaking down the door was faster than he was getting close. In an instant, the misbehaving monarch was being roasted on the fire by his "loyal" ministers. "Your Majesty, what are you going to do to Yan Jin?"
