Pathological Trapping - Chap 9
　Mu Jian shook his head and lowered his eyelids, hiding an extremely cold light.
　　He spoke with a lot of resentment, but his tone was still as innocent as a child.
　　”Guard Li had agreed with me that he would sleep with me tonight. But he ended up going to the Crown Prince’s place, and now he won’t let me stay. Does Guard Li like the Crown Prince instead of me?”
　　Chapter 7 I like Sister Hongyu. Guard Li, please give Sister Hongyu to me.
　　Li Dezhuang said this very sincerely.
　　”How could it be!” Who likes that pervert!
　　Mu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the bed and looking at Li Dezhuang intently, thinking that he looked really good now.
　　Her originally fair cheeks were now pink and tender, like peach petals. Her meticulously combed hair was somehow messy, with two strands hanging between her eyebrows. Her gentle and deep eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, misty and inexplicably touching.
　　He moved closer, softened his tone, and acted like a child.
　　”Then Guard Li, please don’t chase me away, okay?”
　　Li Dezhuang took a deep breath, thinking that he was still afraid of sleeping alone, and moved closer to the bed, making half of the bed available for him.
　　Mu Jian’s face was burning with pure childlike joy. He lay down with the quilt rolled up and looked at Li Dezhuang.
　　He was slightly raising his upper body and moving the pillow towards him, giving him half of it.
　　When he moved the pillow, he also turned his head and their eyes met.
　　Li Dezhuang smiled at him gently, “You’re not afraid anymore, are you?”
　　In the darkness, Li Dezhuang’s eyebrows and eyes were particularly gentle, and the red at the corners of his eyes added a touch of inexplicable and indescribable charm.
　　Mu Jian felt as if his sight was firmly locked, and he couldn’t help but reach out and touch Li Dezhuang’s face.
　　Li Dezhuang was touched on the face by him suddenly, and asked in confusion: “Your Highness?”
　　Mu Jian was stunned for a moment, then naturally touched Li Dezhuang’s forehead again.
　　”It doesn’t seem as hot as before.”
　　Li Dezhuang gave a helpless smile.
　　Nonsense! It’s not like I really have a fever!
　　Mu Jian also laughed, “Guard Li is so nice to me. Will Guard Li always be this nice to me?”
　　”Yes.” You are the protagonist.
　　After hearing this, Mu Jian was finally satisfied and fell asleep holding onto his clothes…
　　Li Dezhuang spent three days polishing the line draft and presented the finished product to the prince.
　　The prince, who was sitting in the study room, gentlemanly, dignified and self-possessed, with the demeanor of a prince, smiled.
　　As he turned the pages, his smile deepened. When he came across a favorite, he would stop and stroke it with his fingers. He couldn’t put it down.
　　The prince closed the sketchbook in his hand with satisfaction.
　　”I really didn’t misjudge you.”
　　I wasn’t wrong about you either.
　　”Thank you for your hard work these past three days.”
　　That’s not…
　　”Take a rest today and come back tomorrow.”
　　You have a conscience.
　　Li Dezhuang took the order and left. Less than a quarter of an hour after returning to the west wing, the steward brought a box and a girl. The box contained thirty taels of silver. The girl…
　　She is good-looking and has a good figure.
　　The steward said, “This woman’s name is Hongyu, and she is specially cared for by the Crown Prince to Guard Li.”
　　How could Li Dezhuang not understand this?!
　　He suddenly felt that this prince wasn’t that bad after all!
　　But Mu Jian seemed not to understand and pulled at the corner of Li Dezhuang’s clothes.
　　”Why did the prince give my beautiful sister to you? Why didn’t he give her to me?”
　　”Uh…” You are still young, you don’t understand.
　　Hong Yu, who was standing by, smiled and covered her face. She squatted down and raised her hand to touch Mu Jian’s head, but she saw a flash of cold light. The light was fleeting, very fast, but also very cold, like a needle.
　　Hongyu’s hand couldn’t fall down.
　　”Once Your Highness has an enlightened palace maid, you will understand.”
　　Mu Jian looked up and asked Li Dezhuang, “What is an enlightened palace maid? Will an enlightened palace maid be as pretty as Sister Hongyu?”
　　Li Dezhuang chose to answer the second half of the question.
　　”His Royal Highness will definitely find you someone prettier than Sister Hongyu.”
　　Mu Jian’s eyes lit up, and he pretended to be ignorant and said, “I just like Sister Hongyu. Guard Li, please give Sister Hongyu to me. When I have a prettier one, I will give her to Guard Li.”
　　Li Dezhuang was a little embarrassed.
　　It’s not that he’s reluctant. He will definitely give the protagonist what he wants.
　　He was afraid that the prince would find out and be unhappy.
　　But his hesitation and embarrassment had another meaning in Mu Jian’s eyes.
　　There was something dark in his eyes, “Guard Li, are you reluctant to let go?”
　　”No, I’m afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not like that.”
　　Mu Jian’s expression relaxed. “That’s it. You and I can be together and we can play with Sister Hongyu together!”
　　Li Dezhuang didn’t care and nodded in agreement.
　　Hongyu was not very happy.
　　When the Crown Prince had pointed her out, she was extremely reluctant. She was just a guard, what could she accomplish in the future?
　　But after seeing him, she no longer thought so. It was really Li Dezhuang’s handsome appearance that made her feel amorous. Then the Ninth Prince came to disrupt the situation.
　　But the Ninth Prince is still a child.
　　Hongyu didn’t take him seriously, she would be Li Dezhuang’s person sooner or later. Therefore, when she served him on weekdays, she couldn’t help but flirt with Li Dezhuang.
　　For example, when she was getting dressed, she would smile at him. When she was handing him tea, her fingers would lightly brush across his fingertips. When she was grinding the tea, she would deliberately raise her hand to let the fragrance from her sleeves pass over to him.
　　Li Dezhuang couldn’t sit still any longer.
　　It wasn’t because of her teasing, but there was really a girl next to him and he was embarrassed to draw pornographic pictures.
　　It’s still a pornographic picture of two men.
　　Li Dezhuang put down the pen in his hand and said, “Hongyu, the moonlight is just right, take His Highness out for some fun.”
　　Hongyu’s face turned pale.
　　Mu Jian, on the other hand, was extremely happy and held Hongyu’s hand affectionately.
　　”Sister Hongyu, let’s go out and play!”
