Chapter 162: Practice Subjects
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate:
Wave after wave of shattering noises continuously came from Commandery Princess Hui’an’s bedroom for an entire hour.
“Commandery Princess! Commandery Princess! Guard Nian has returned!” Her personal maidservant entered the room with trepidation. She was nearly hit in the head by an incoming teacup and crumbled onto the ground in a panic before begging for mercy with frantic kowtows.
“Moron, why aren’t you calling him inside?!” Commandery Princess Hui’an angrily sat down on a circular chair and harshly slapped the table.
A tanned youth, who resembled a farmer, entered with large strides and cupped his hands in salute. “Commandery Princess, this subordinate has discovered that the caravan is heading for Xijiu City.”
“Where is Xijiu City?” the commandery princess asked with a frown.
“Xijiu City is a tiny city quite far from the royal capital.”
“Why is Brother Crown Prince sending someone there?” Hui’an mumbled to herself.
“This subordinate also discovered that the crown prince ordered people to make a bulk purchase and bought a lot of feminine products…”
“A woman?” Hui’an’s voice shot an octave higher, and a fist heavily slammed onto the table. She squeezed out between clenched teeth, “What a little slut.”
Since when did a little slut seduce His Highness the Crown Prince without her knowledge?
“Nian Kui, I want you to immediately bring two people and follow them. When you arrive at Xijiu City, meticulously investigate that slut’s background.” Hui’an’s voice was as cold as an icicle.
“Yes, Commandery Princess.” Nian Kui nodded. “Do I need to capture her?”
“No need.” Hui’an gritted her molars and pushed a small box toward Nian Kui. “You merely have to make the little slut consume this.”
Hui’an’s lips stretched into a malicious smile. “I want that slut to be in utter misery, unable to live or die.”
She dared to steal Brother Crown Prince’s love from her, the noble Commandery Princess Hui’an? Then she would make that slut to be in so much pain as to wish for death for the rest of her life!
“Your Highness.” Huifeng jumped and lightly landed outside the pavilion and performed a salutation.
The crown prince was leaning against the railings, looking relaxed and elegant. His slender fingers picked up a few cake crumbs and tossed them into the pool.
“Commandery Princess Hui’an sent three guards to Xijiu City. One of them is a seventh layer body cultivator.”
Huifeng’s words caused the crown prince’s finger to pause briefly.
Derision flitted through his eyes before the crown prince indifferently said, “As she wishes.”
Heh, if she looks down on Darling Qiao too much, she will die.
Oh? He inexplicably became excited. His darling must be quite bored after settling inside Xijiu City. Giving her three idiots to be practice subjects was a good thing.
“Your Highness, the king has an edict.”
“Recite it.” The crown prince gently flicked his sleeves. His voice was apathetic.
The king’s edict stated: “Zombies have plagued the royal capital for days, causing the people to be drowning in misery and destitution. Worry has plagued Our heart and sleep has evaded Us. Hence, We have decided to head to Mt. Hong to pray for the people immediately. We order the crown prince to supervise the kingdom and handle the daily affairs.”
The summer afternoon breeze gently brushed over the crown prince’s face.
Although the weather was blisteringly hot, the edict-issuing eunuch could feel cold gales slam into him. After he finished reciting the edict, he stood frozen in his spot, too frightened to move.
The crown prince’s phoenix eyes slightly raised, and a sardonic smile appeared on his face.
“Who else did the king bring?”
Although the crown prince did not unleash his anger, the eunuch could still feel a terrifying rage from him. The eunuch answered while trembling with fear, “H-his M-majesty… b-brought Noble Consort Zheng and N-Noble Lady He…”
“Hm?”
“A-also…” the edict-issuing eunuch quickly reported several royal beauties’ names.
The crown prince nodded, his eyes cold. “You’re dismissed.”
The edict-issuing eunuch wiped his sweat and eagerly left. He felt like there was a chilling wind attacking his back. ‘King, after leaving behind a terrible mess and fleeing, d-does Your Majesty r-really think H-his Highness the Crown Prince will l-let Your Majesty soundly have a p-peaceful v-vacation???’
“Isn’t having only beauties a bit too plain?” The crown prince mumbled to himself with narrowed eyes. “Throw a few zombies there and let the king have some fun too.”
Huifeng: ‘…King, you’re on your own.’
Xijiu City:
After our darling Qiao Mu finished absorbing the final magnetite, she looked up at the dark sky outside.
“Miss, there’s a youth from the Daybreak Sect who says his Daybreak Sect is seeking to see you.”
Why did Duan Yue come here?
