Pathological Trapping - Chap 22
Li Dezhuang sighed.
After scolding the prince a thousand times, he hugged Mu Jian.
Still a child after all…
On the second day, the captain of the personal guards reported to the prince.
Last night, they were searching the city and found the gang of thieves in a dilapidated temple. They stayed in the temple and refused to come out, so they had no choice but to shoot them all.
There was a hint of coldness in the prince’s eyes.
This is what happens when you betray others!
The chief of the imperial guards added, “During the raid last night, we found pornographic books in the merchant’s bookstore. We have collected all of them and burned them. The merchant is waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make his decision.”
”Merchant…”
The prince smiled playfully.
”Old Nine is really capable. He helped me catch a few runaway bitches and even managed to get some evidence on the merchant.”
The merchant is the largest merchant in the capital.
Having the leverage over a merchant is equivalent to controlling the merchant.
Apart from anything else, there’s always no problem in getting some money for the pen.
The prince stroked the jade ring on his thumb and smiled coldly, “I remember that the bookstore of Shangjia was managed by the handsome young master of his family.”
Li Yu nodded.
”Exactly.”
The prince took the medicine from the bedside and smiled.
”Catch him and ask the merchant to use the money to redeem their son.”
Li Yu took the order and retreated.
When he went out, he happened to meet Mu Jian who came to visit the prince. The two passed by each other, seemingly normal.
But at the moment when they passed each other, Li Yu’s lips moved and he uttered a few syllables in a very light voice, and then the two of them moved away.
Mu Jian walked into the prince’s bedroom.
Li Yu heard the prince’s laughter coming from the bedroom.
”Ninth brother, come! Sit down! You did a great job this time! Tell me what you want! I will reward you!”
Shang Yin stayed in prison for a long time. When his family spent a large sum of money to get him out, the prince’s illness had already been cured.
It is the season of spring.
The prince was better now. He felt that he was able to do it again, so he asked his servants to tell the only girl left in the backyard that the prince was going to deflower her today. He was really scared.
The remaining one was a young man whom the officials found among the refugees.
She was pretty and had never done that with a man. She was afraid to begin with, and recently all the prostitutes were killed, so she was in a panic.
He wanted to run away, but was afraid of being caught and sentenced to death.
If he didn’t run, he would be too scared.
He hesitated for a long time at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a particularly good-looking young man who was tilting his head to look at him curiously. His heart skipped a beat.
About to run back.
The boy spoke.
”Are you the one who will serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tonight?”
”yes.”
”Then why aren’t you getting ready?”
”I…I…” I don’t want to go…
The young man walked up to him, put his hands behind his back, moved closer to him, and looked at him, “Are you scared? But if you are not prepared, His Royal Highness will be angry.”
”Ah? Then, what should I do?”
”Didn’t the person who sent you here teach you?”
His face suddenly turned red and his voice was very soft and low.
He felt that under the boy’s clear gaze, all his filth and ugliness were exposed.
“I taught you…”
”That’s good.”
He was startled by the boy’s nonchalant tone.
In the East Palace, no matter they were maids or eunuchs, when they knew his identity, they would cast strange looks at him, either with contempt or with anticipation.
”Wait for me.”
The young man said this and ran away in a hurry, and his figure disappeared in a short while.
He stood there and waited for a moment, then saw the young man running towards him in the scorching sun. He ran up to him and said, “Stretch out your hand.”
He held out his hand.
There was a small box on the palm of my hand.
”Apply this there, apply it inside. This way, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moves you, you won’t feel any pain.”
The waiter was startled and suddenly realized what this thing was.
The box in my palm suddenly became hot.
He almost had to restrain himself from throwing the box away.
He feels dirty!
Feel embarrassed!
But when he looked up, he met the curved eyebrows and clear eyes of the young man in front of him, and knew that he just wanted to help him. Instantly, his heart was filled with infinite warmth.
”Thank you……”
Chapter 18 The Prince Dies Suddenly
Something big happened in the East Palace.
An event that even shocked Li Dezhuang.
The prince is dead.
Died in bed.
Died on the body of that young waiter.
It is said that his death was particularly inelegant.
The emperor was furious when he heard this and ordered the execution of the eunuch. He then announced to the public that the prince had died of a sudden illness.
Li Dezhuang felt flustered and felt very disappointed.
Something is so wrong!
Follow the direction of the original work.
The bastard prince died during the spring hunting the next year after he was surrounded in the wild by several other princes, who created the illusion of an assassination.
Now the timeline has been advanced by a whole year.
Even the way of dying has become different!
Could it be related to the fact that he brought the protagonist to the East Palace?
This doesn’t seem like something Mu Jian would do.
He is a powerless prince with no power or influence, and he depends on the Eastern Palace for survival. He should not be crazy enough to destroy the nest where he lives.
Besides, this child grew up under the care of Li Dezhuang.
Timid,
Good natured.
It hasn’t grown crooked yet.
He shouldn’t have the guts to kill the prince.
After Li Dezhuang realized this, he began to worry about himself.
