Pathological Trapping - Chap 23
　damn it!
　　He is the prince’s pornographic painter!
　　Although every painting is kept secret.
　　All the prostitutes he had met were fucking dead, but his fucking manuscript was still hidden in the prince’s study! !
　　If this is discovered, he will be dead!
　　Li Dezhuang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
　　Damn it!
　　He must steal this painting back!
　　It’s night.
　　It was a dark and windy night.
　　Li Dezhuang quietly broke into the prince’s study and searched around but couldn’t find it.
　　There was no other choice but to go to the prince’s bedroom, search around for a long time, and found his drawing in a secret compartment under the prince’s bed.
　　It’s a thick stack!
　　If this is discovered and the emperor gets to know, he’ll be dead!
　　Li Dezhuang quickly took the draft and ran away.
　　I ran all the way back to the west wing and was fine, but when I entered the courtyard, I bumped into Mu Jian. The drawings in my arms were scattered all over the floor like flowers from heaven.
　　Mu Jian was stunned for two seconds.
　　Li Dezhuang quickly bent down to pick it up.
　　Mu Jian also squatted down to help him pick it up.
　　Just picked up one.
　　Li Dezhuang heard Mu Jian’s voice above his head.
　　”Guard Li, why are there two men in this painting?”
　　A bolt from the blue!
　　Li Dezhuang was chopped until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
　　He quickened his pace to pack up the drawings, grabbed Mu Jian’s hand, and pushed him back into the room.
　　He peeked out through the crack in the door cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one had noticed.
　　He turned around and stiffened his neck to pull the drawing back from Mu Jian’s hand.
　　”It was your brother the Crown Prince who asked me to draw this. I don’t quite understand this aspect either, so don’t ask me.”
　　Mu Jian looked at his eyes, which flickered, as if there were little flames dancing. After looking for a while, he grinned.
　　”So Guard Li doesn’t understand.”
　　Li Dezhuang nodded heavily.
　　”Yes! I don’t understand!”
　　Mu Jian’s eyes fell on the drawing in Li Dezhuang’s hand.
　　Li Dezhuang was afraid that he would be interested, so he quickly put it behind his back.
　　Mu Jian asked: “Guard Li, why did you take the drawing back?”
　　Li Dezhuang said: “If the emperor knew that I drew this for His Royal Highness, he would be so angry that he might even kill me!”
　　Mu Jian raised his hand and touched Li Dezhuang’s brow with his fingertips.
　　Li Dezhuang froze in place as if he had been hit by a pressure point.
　　Mu Jian slightly opened his thin lips, with a beautiful smile on his face.
　　”I will protect Guard Li, don’t be afraid.”
　　”Okay, thank you, Your Highness.”
　　”Guard Li trusts me so much?”
　　”Of course.” You are the protagonist. If I don’t believe you, who else can I believe?
　　Li Dezhuang took a deep breath, walked to the corner, and prepared to take out a basin to burn all the drawings to destroy the bodies. Mu Jian stood not far behind him and watched.
　　Looking at the flames rising from the basin illuminating Li Dezhuang’s handsome face, the evil thoughts in his heart surged more and more.
　　He took a deep breath, walked over slowly, squatted beside Li Dezhuang, and accompanied him to tear up the drawings one by one and throw them in. The flames illuminated the faces of the two people.
　　Flickering.
　　Mu Jian said: “If the prince dies, where will we go?”
　　”have no idea.”
　　”Will Guard Li always stay with me?”
　　Li Dezhuang paused and said, “Yes.”
　　”That’s good. As long as Guard Li is by my side, I won’t be afraid no matter where I am.”
　　Li Dezhuang was silent for a second, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
　　”Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.”
　　The prince died suddenly.
　　This incident came unexpectedly.
　　Various forces are ready to make a move.
　　It was not appropriate for Mu Jian to live in the Eastern Palace any longer, so the emperor ordered him to move to the temporary palace. The temporary palace was not as good as the imperial palace, with all the necessary facilities, but it was more free and spacious.
　　It is spring again and flowers are blooming in the palace.
　　It’s so beautiful.
　　Li Dezhuang has now left the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince’s control, and is living a carefree and comfortable life.
　　The most regrettable thing is that Shang Yin’s business failed because of Mu Jian’s mistake a while ago, and he didn’t make any money. Now Li Dezhuang eats, drinks and sleeps with Mu Jian.
　　He lived the lazy life he had always dreamed of.
　　He can sleep at night.
　　He can sleep during the day.
　　He can sleep whenever he wants.
　　Even when he fell asleep on the table in the pavilion, no one dared to care about him.
　　No need to go to work or school.
　　Good day!
　　What a damn good day!
　　Li Dezhuang stretched comfortably, like a cat that just woke up and stretched its body, rolled a little on the table, and looked up to see Mu Jian sitting next to him.
　　He was very close, his eyes fixed on his face, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
　　Li Dezhuang panicked and sat up straight.
　　”When did His Highness arrive?!”
　　”I’ve been here for a while.”
　　He twisted a flower between his fingertips, leaned forward slightly, pinned it on Li Dezhuang’s ear, and smiled.
　　”nice.”
　　Li Dezhuang: I’m just speechless.
　　Are you crazy? Don’t waste your money on a straight man like me!
　　He didn’t dare say it.
　　Mu Jian held his chin and looked at it for two seconds, then said, “Guard Li is so good at painting, why doesn’t he draw a picture for himself?”
　　Li Dezhuang was silent.
　　”Why would I draw myself if I have nothing to do?”
　　Mu Jian lay on the table, tilting his head, “I want to see your painting, can you? Give it to me. In the future, if I separate from Guard Li, I can still look at Guard Li’s portrait and miss the days with Guard Li.”
　　Li Dezhuang thought to himself: That makes sense.
　　”Then I’ll go get a pen and paper.”
　　He turned and left as he spoke, not noticing that Mu Jian’s eyes suddenly turned cold behind him.
