Pathological Trapping - Chap 41
　Guard Li raised his eyebrows, “Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?”
　　”Is it not possible?” Mu Jian directly leaned on Li Dezhuang, “Guard Li doesn’t want me to borrow your flowers to offer to him? Obviously, Guard Li liked me the most before!”
　　Li Dezhuang simply couldn’t stand the child’s pestering and was about to shake him off when he heard someone whispering in the corridor.
　　It was a woman’s voice.
　　”Let me deliver it to His Highness.”
　　Li Dezhuang and Mu Jian looked at each other for two seconds.
　　Li Dezhuang asked Mu Jian to stand still. The next second, a pretty little palace maid came in and saluted very respectfully. “Your Highness the Ninth Prince, these are the snacks sent by the Eighth Prince.”
　　Li Dezhuang was still in a mood of watching onlookers a second ago, looking at this little palace maid who was trying to grab the job and come in to deliver something.
　　He thought that she must have taken a fancy to Mu Jian and was planning to use some tricks to make her presence felt.
　　The next second, when he heard the three words “Eighth Prince”, he frowned.
　　The Eighth Prince is the real palace maid’s child.
　　The one who was carried away by the imperial concubine.
　　I always feel that nothing good is going to happen.
　　Mu Jian glanced at the little palace maid.
　　I was the one who was lying at the door and peeking at Li Dezhuang just now.
　　Even now, people have come in and are still stealing glances at Li Dezhuang.
　　Mu Jian glanced at Li Dezhuang again.
　　He didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t pay attention.
　　Mu Jian played with his fingers for a while and suddenly started to act like a child.
　　”What do you mean, Big Brother? You know I don’t like to eat this recently, but you still want to give it to me.”
　　Li Dezhuang was startled.
　　Even if you don’t like it, why give it to me?
　　Isn’t that intentional to annoy people?
　　”Then I’ll tell them all to get lost.”
　　”How dare I.” Mu Jian said tartly, “He is the Eighth Prince, who is as precious as gold and jade. Naturally, I have to accept the things he gives me. Not only should I accept them, but I should also accept them with thousands of thanks.”
　　Li Dezhuang couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness is also the precious Ninth Prince.” Mu Jian’s eyes lit up, and he waved his hand happily and said to the palace maid.
　　”Then I’ll give you this snack as a reward. Eat it here before leaving!”
　　The maid frowned, not having the courage to do so, and opened her mouth to refuse. But Mu Jian waved his hand with an impatient look. The maid had no choice but to take the snacks on the plate and eat them in small bites.
　　She eats in a very beautiful way.
　　Perhaps because it was taught in the palace, it is slow and elegant.
　　She is not very good-looking, but her lips are plump and slightly reflective due to the sunlight.
　　At this moment, a little bit of snack crumbs were stained on the plump lips, and the girl licked it with a small piece of tongue.
　　Li Dezhuang thought.
　　Good material…
　　Can be a lip model.
　　Mu Jian, who was standing beside him, suddenly shouted, “Eat faster! Are you eating so slowly because you think the food my brother brought you isn’t tasty?!”
　　The little palace maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground.
　　Li Dezhuang asked, “Why are you scaring her?”
　　Mu Jian looked unhappy. His dark pupils were like a pool of water.
　　Li Dezhuang didn’t know what was wrong with him, so he just ignored him. Suddenly, the palace maid kneeling on the ground covered her chest and fell to the ground. She twitched twice, black blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and she died.
　　This is the first time someone died in front of Li Dezhuang!
　　The impact is quite strong.
　　But the next second, a pair of warm hands covered his eyes.
　　Isolate this terrible scene.
　　The young man’s trembling voice was beside his ear, “Guard Li, don’t look.”
　　Li Dezhuang was surprised, scared, and soft-hearted.
　　Mu Jian is younger than him, and this plate of snacks is meant for him. The Eighth Prince, that bastard, wants to kill Mu Jian.
　　Mu Jian must be even more scared than him! His voice was trembling! But he still covered his eyes!
　　However, behind his hands that blocked his view, Mu Jian’s face was full of smiles, and he was trembling with excitement.
　　Dead…
　　He is dead indeed.
　　Let you covet Guard Li.
　　This is what happens to you.
　　Although the death of a palace maid in the palace was a loss of life, it was not publicized in the palace. Li Dezhuang looked at Mu Jian who was lying on the bed hugging his knees in silence, and felt sorry for him.
　　Knowing who the murderer is!
　　The other party used such blatant and clumsy means!
　　But because Mu Jian’s foundation was unstable, he couldn’t fight back. If he wasn’t careful, he might even get himself into trouble.
　　Li Dezhuang walked over and said, “Your Highness, I made some soup. Would you like some?”
　　Mu Jian raised his head, the disappointment on his face disappeared, and he smiled. It was bright, but in Li Dezhuang’s eyes, it was no different from a forced smile.
　　”You must drink it. It’s made by Guard Li. You must drink it!”
　　Li Dezhuang handed over the soup.
　　Mu Jian obediently drank it in just three or two gulps.
　　Li Dezhuang put the bowl down and made up his mind.
　　”Your Highness, I will help you draw a picture tomorrow and give it to the Emperor. To please the Emperor.”
　　Mu Jian looked at him, “Why?”
　　”If you can’t make further progress, your life will be in danger.”
　　”Is Guard Li worried about me?”
　　”Um.”
　　The thigh is gone.
　　He will die too.
　　Mu Jian came up to him, “Guard Li, you are so nice.”
　　Li Dezhuang touched him.
　　Mu Jian took the opportunity to grab his hand and held it in his palm, “Guard Li, in this huge palace, everyone is in danger. I have no power, only you.”
　　Li Dezhuang nodded, and a feeling of mutual understanding arose in his heart.
　　Their situations are actually similar.
　　We are all alone in this world.
　　We can only keep each other warm.
　　Mu Jian lowered his head and put his forehead against Li Dezhuang’s.
　　His eyes were wet and a little pitiful, like a piece of thin ice that would break at the touch.
　　”Guard Li, can you kiss me? I’m a little scared.”
　　Logically speaking!
　　You can’t kiss! You shouldn’t kiss!
