Chapter 224: Going up the tall building
The guy who just injured someone was beaten to a pulp by Lin San.
"Who ordered you to hurt someone?" Lin San asked, grabbing the man.
The man had a pig-like face and said, "Without anyone's instructions, these bitches eat and drink from me, and even dare to cheat on me. I will kill them."
Lin San kicked him hard: "Damn it, speak human language."
The man was hurt from the beating and spoke incoherently.
The reason he hurt people was because An Jiu was a bit like his wife. That woman ate and drank at his expense, and in the end, she ran away with his money with another man.
He was so angry that he went out to drink. There were a lot of people on the street, and he became more and more upset. Just as he was about to go back, he saw An Jiu in the crowd. He thought of his wife, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to stab her a few times to vent his anger.
An Jiu was so angry that he laughed at this reason.
Then wouldn't it be an unexpected disaster for me?
The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at the man, and said to Lin San: "Take him back and give him to Jiang Sheng. Don't let him die."
Lin San nodded, and the man was still struggling: "What are you doing in broad daylight? I'm going to report to the police..."
Then he was taken away by other secret guards.
An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. What happened just now made her scared. If she hadn't been squeezed by someone, she would have been dead.
The emperor was still holding her hand. She hadn't noticed it just now, but at this moment his presence was so strong that she felt a little embarrassed and wanted to pull it back.
The emperor glanced at her and said, "If you get lost again, I won't care about you."
An Jiu didn't move.
The emperor's hands were big and warm, with calluses on his palms. As they held hands for longer, an indescribable sense of presence slowly spread, first on his hands, then on his arms, and finally, half of her body was numb...
She was pulled by the emperor into a secret passage that belonged only to An Jiu and Xiao Ce, and everyone around her became a background.
An Jiu looked up, and the emperor turned back, their eyes met...
The world is quiet.
Time seemed to stand still, and it was as if someone had poured cement on me, sealing my limbs and making it difficult to breathe.
The emperor bent down and kissed her forehead.
An Jiu's five senses finally returned.
She stared at the emperor, and the emperor also looked at her, and his heart was melted by her cute expression.
He never knew that girls were such lovely and beautiful creatures.
It's hard to describe.
He gently scratched Anjiu's nose with his other hand.
"Let's go, goose."
“…(⊙o⊙)…”
The surroundings were bustling and lively, but An Jiu could hear nothing. She didn't even know what the emperor said. She could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
What to do?
She looked at the emperor's tall back.
Once again I felt like a fish, seeing the bait in the water, wanting to eat it but being afraid.
Swimming back and forth with a wheezing sound, I was already eager to take the bait...
What if it's not a trap?
She thought so.
What if it’s edible?
Do you want to...
Give it a try?
Just try it!
Life always needs a little bit of adventurous spirit, right?
"Here." Someone interrupted An Jiu's thoughts. It was Prince Duan who came out. He saw the emperor and An Jiu's interlocked hands at a glance.
He thought, the little palace maid is amazing. He had never seen the emperor holding anyone's hand in his life...
She looks quite innocent.
"My brother, why are you so late?" Prince Duan complained jokingly, "Everyone is here."
The Emperor and Prince Duan walked upstairs together. An Jiu felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to be seen in front of so many people and have people speculating about her relationship with the Emperor, so she pulled her hand back.
The emperor glanced at her.
An Jiu lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
【never mind. 】
【Take your time.】
Climbing to the seventh floor was a bit strenuous. Even the emperor was a little out of breath, but he insisted on holding on without showing it on his face. At first, An Jiu didn't know why he did that until he saw Ming Wang waiting at the stairs to laugh at the emperor.
The prince was bored. Seeing that the emperor remained calm, he seemed a little disappointed. However, he noticed An Jiu behind the emperor and teased, "This maid of yours is really favored. You take her with you wherever you go."
The emperor snorted coldly: "Second brother's book boy has also been staying here."
Ming Wang's face was distorted for a moment: "I am a servant."
He had no improper relationship with the servant.
The dog emperor is making insinuations again!!!
The emperor said "oh" and didn't respond.
King Ming "..."
This kind of thing is really taboo in quarrels.
An Jiu saw the smug look that flashed across the emperor's face and suddenly felt a little amused.
He can really piss everyone off equally.
Prince Duan invited all his brothers except Prince Ruyang.
The eldest prince stood at the farthest point, not knowing what he was thinking. When Prince Jing came to the emperor, he said, "Let's set off the fireworks later."
The emperor nodded.
Prince Jing was still sitting near the brazier, wearing thick clothes, his face was a little pale, but his expression was gentle. Only this time, he had a snow-white cat in his arms, and his fair fingers were stroking the white cat's back again and again.
Although the Eighth Prince still had a cold and aloof Buddha look on his face, he was still young after all. He stared at the butterfly lamp in An Jiu's hand for a long time and finally couldn't help asking, "Is the lamp broken?"
An Jiu took a look and saw that one of the butterfly's wings was chopped off by the criminals. She couldn't bear to throw it away, so she thought of going back to find a craftsman to repair it.
"I broke it by accident."
The Eighth Prince felt it was a pity, and after a pause he said, "Can you show it to me?"
An Jiu glanced at the emperor, who nodded, and she handed the lamp to the eighth prince.
The Eighth Prince stared at the butterfly's other intact wing, seeming very curious about why it moved.
Prince Duan said, "This is a new lantern this year. It can move. I was shocked when I saw it for the first time."
The king said: "The people of Chu made it."
King Jing became annoyed when he heard about the people of Chu.
"It's the Chu people again." King Jing snorted coldly: "When the war breaks out in the northwest, the Chu people will not be content either. Just wait and see."
King Ming agreed with King Jing's opinion. He looked at the emperor and said, "We should make preparations early."
The emperor wanted to.
But those bastards in the court only knew how to cry poor. No matter what he said, they made excuses and refused to do anything.
All the emperor can do now is to order those people in the south to be more vigilant.
and……,
It's not the right time yet.
Prince Duan saw that the atmosphere was not right and said with a smile, "There will be a parade of courtesans in a while. I heard that this year's courtesans are particularly beautiful."
The emperor hated things like parading courtesans through the streets.
A good girl is dressed up exquisitely and sold on the street!
It makes people very uncomfortable.
But no one seemed to think there was anything wrong.
Prince Ming said sarcastically, "The emperor has a beautiful lady to accompany him, so I'm afraid he has no interest in the Oiran."
Prince Duan was also convinced, and so was the second brother. Couldn't they just say less?
But the emperor was not one to suffer a loss. As soon as the King of Ming finished speaking, he said, "You are interested in the Oiran? Then I will grant you a marriage?"
King Ming "..."
Prince Duan: Okay, now I feel comfortable.
Let you talk dirty!
