Pathological Trapping - Chap 43
Du Yanqiu blushed and lowered her head without saying anything. Anyone who saw her would understand.
The Imperial Concubine and the Shangshu’s wife smiled at each other knowingly, and the topic slowly unfolded around the two children. Mu Jian listened silently, but unexpectedly, they ended up talking about Guard Li.
”Jian’er, why didn’t you bring your guard with you today?”
Mu Jian replied respectfully: “He is in the palace.”
The Shangshu’s wife asked, “Does His Highness the Ninth Prince often go out with his guards?”
The imperial concubine smiled and said, “Not very often. That guard has been with Jian’er for many years and is different from others. Jian’er treats him more kindly than others. I remember he called him, called…”
The imperial concubine couldn’t remember.
Du Yanqiu interrupted at the right time, “Li Dezhuang.”
The imperial concubine smiled.
”Yes, that’s the name. I didn’t expect Yan Qiu to remember the names of the people around Jian Er. She will definitely be a good mistress in the future.”
Du Yanqiu immediately lowered his head, “Your Highness is making fun of me, but she just has some impression of this person.”
The Shangshu’s wife was a little surprised, “What kind of person is that?”
The imperial concubine looked at Du Yanqiu.
Du Yanqiu said: “He is very handsome, even better looking than women. He also has a gentle personality.”
The imperial concubine smiled, “Yes, several maids in the palace have been discussing privately that this guard is the most handsome of all the guards. I heard that Yan Qiu had intended to marry his maid to him before?”
”It’s not an engagement, it’s just a tie in the middle.”
”Is it done?”
“No.”
The imperial concubine smiled and said, “When you get married, you will be the one to worry about his marriage.”
Du Yanqiu’s face immediately turned red, and her big watery eyes looked helplessly at the Shangshu’s wife, and then at Mu Jian, who had a gentle expression on his face.
She immediately lowered her head and spoke in a small voice.
”yes.”
Chapter 34 Will Guard Li deliberately deceive me and use me like them?
Li Dezhuang waited in his room until it was dark, but Mu Jian didn’t come back. Li Dezhuang felt that something was wrong. He asked a palace maid and found out that something had happened.
The third young lady of the Shangshu Mansion had gone crazy for some reason and actually climbed onto the emperor’s bed and was discovered by the imperial concubine. Now the wife of the Shangshu Mansion was kneeling outside the palace to plead guilty. Mu Jian was also there.
Li Dezhuang was extremely shocked.
Didn’t the Third Miss have a crush on Mu Jian? !
How did she turn around and climb onto the emperor’s bed? !
Is it really okay for the plot to go this way?!
Li Dezhuang was extremely anxious, fearing that the emperor and the imperial concubine would get angry and directly implicate Mu Jian. If Mu Jian died, he would be without a supporter!
The young eunuch enthusiastically shared gossip with Li Dezhuang.
”It is said that when they were discovered, the Imperial Concubine was with the Minister’s wife, looking for the Emperor to discuss the Ninth Prince’s marriage! The Ninth Prince was also there! But when the door opened, the Third Miss’s bellyband was hanging on the Emperor’s legs. The two of them were lying on the ground!”
Oh shit!
Li Dezhuang took a deep breath.
I immediately had a picture in my mind.
”The Imperial Concubine’s face turned green, and she kept calling her a vixen and a shameless person.”
”What about His Highness?”
”Your Highness?” The young eunuch recalled, “Your Highness lowered his head, and I couldn’t see his expression. I guess he was not happy. Originally, the third lady was betrothed to Your Highness.”
Li Dezhuang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the palace.
It won’t turn dark!
That little brat won’t turn evil, will he?
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it started to rain outside.
Li Dezhuang waited anxiously at the palace gate for a long time, holding an umbrella, and finally saw Mu Jian coming in the night.
Li Dezhuang rushed over with a cloak and put it on Mu Jian. He held an umbrella over Mu Jian’s head to separate him from the rain.
”Your Highness is all wet.”
Mu Jian slowly raised his head, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Li Dezhuang didn’t say anything.
How can I still sleep well when you are cheated on?
Mu Jian looked at him for a long while, then said with difficulty, “You know everything?”
Li Dezhuang nodded.
Thousands of words come to my mind.
What? If you want to live a decent life, you have to have something green on your head.
What? Spring is here. Some flowers are turning red, some are turning green. It’s all normal.
But I couldn’t utter a single word.
”Guard Li, tell me, why? If she despises me, she could have just told me directly. Could it be that all those days of tenderness and affection were just a way to get closer to my father?”
Li Dezhuang wanted to say, I don’t know either. I don’t really understand the tricks of you ancients.
After thinking about it, I didn’t have the courage to say it.
He felt that he should comfort Mu Jian at this moment and wanted to say no.
But when he thought about it, he and Du Yanqiu had only met a few times.
Everyone in the palace was very shrewd, so it was hard for him to tell what kind of thoughts were hidden behind Du Yanqiu’s face.
Mu Jian said in a low voice and returned to his own bedroom.
”The emperor conferred the title on her… She was clearly close to the emperor, and she said she didn’t have that kind of thought. But when the imperial concubine asked her why she was there, she stammered and couldn’t say anything…”
Li Dezhuang was silent for a moment, and finally saw the famous quote from a netizen on the Internet.
When your brother tells you that someone, or his boss, or something is wrong with the company, he doesn’t want you to comfort him, but to join in the scolding!
Li Dezhuang figured this out, sat down next to Mu Jian, and patted his thigh.
”Fuck! This woman is such a bitch!”
He spoke passionately, which made Mu Jian stunned. For a moment, he didn’t know how to continue this play in front of him.
Li Dezhuang slammed the table.
”What’s wrong with our prince? He has good looks and a good figure. If he were in the entertainment industry…”
