Your Highness, Please Love Me Tender

156. Gloomy Wu Liumou

At the same time, the officials and nobles in the capital of State YanHui were also talking about Prince Rui.

“His Majesty had always liked Prince Rui. And he was suddenly deposed, but then he regained his old title. Nothing is predictable in the world…”

“I was fortunate enough to have said a few words to Prince Rui. I thought that Prince Rui was gentle and good-looking, but I never imagined that the Emperor of State YanLing would take a fancy to Prince Rui and that he even promised to share the throne with him. It means that Prince Rui will have an equal say in the state affairs in State YanLing…” The voice faltered. After all, it was about the imperial family and he didn’t dare to talk too much about it.

……

“Your name is Yu Jiang?” On the street, Wu Liumou stopped a handsome teenager.

“Mister Wu?” Yu Jiang tilted his head while holding the cloth in his arms.

“Yu Jiang, where’s your master?” Wu Liumou was furious. That day, he saw Xiao Shengnian and got to stay in Prince Rui’s residence as he wished. He meant to spend more time with Xiao Shengnian, but he didn’t expect that Xiao Shengnian would get deposed and be imprisoned in the palace on the same day.

The servants in Prince Rui’s residence were chased out and Wu Liumou was not spared.

The thing that made Wu Liumou want to spit blood was that he pulled a few strings in the palace and meant to bribe someone from the palace so that he could see Brother Xiao. But it didn’t work out.

What Wu Liumou didn’t know was that the person who stopped him from meeting Xiao Shengnian was sent by Xiao Shengnian himself.

Xiao Shengnian was not as harmless as he appeared to be, and Yong’an Palace couldn’t trap him at all. The night before he was locked up, Zhui Xing got into the palace.

Although Xiao Shengnian could escape, the time was not ripe, and his plan for State YanHui had yet to be perfected.

He was determined to win in one blow. Without being 100% certain, he was unwilling to act rashly.

“Let’s just wait and see. The duel between the Guqin Master and my father has just begun,” Xiao Shengnian smiled, and the fact that he was in Yong’an Palace, where it was covered with spider webs and grasses, did not bother him at all.

After Zhui Xing learned about his Master’s intentions, he added that he had told Yu Che to inform Su Jie about this matter.

“Yu Che had gone to State YanLing?” Xiao Shengnian’s smile was bewitching under the moonlight. Thinking of Su Jie, there was a slight smile in his dark eyes.

Su Jie was not someone who liked to suffer losses. If Su Jie knew that he was wronged, how would Su Jie react?

Xiao Shengnian thought with interest, and he was not worried about his situation at all.

As expected, not long after, under the influence of Su Jie, the emperor of State YanHui chose to compromise and give Xiao Shengnian his title back.

However, Xiao Shengnian himself did not care about the title of Prince Rui. What he cared about was Su Jie’s attitude. Su Jie’s overbearing behavior was obviously meant to vent his anger for Xiao Shengnian, and considering that Xiao Shengnian was a royal member of State YanHui, he returned the ten cities.

However, Su Jie’s actions clearly caused the Emperor of State YanHui to be thoroughly discredited, and Xiao Shengnian knew his father pretty well. He understood that his father was only after the land of State YanLing, so he chose to compromise for the time being.

In case that undue delay might bring trouble, the Emperor of State YanHui did not arrange for Xiao Shengnian to go back to his residence. After restoring Prince Rui’s title, he immediately had a bunch of ‘dowry’ packed up and ordered the royal palace guards to send Xiao Shengnian away overnight.

Only a small number of people knew that Prince Rui, who was once loved by the Emperor, was sent out of the Imperial Palace at night and headed straight for State YanLing.

Thus Wu Liumou was not able to see Prince Rui.

And that pissed him off. It wasn’t easy for him to see Brother Xiao again, and he hadn’t seen him for several years. Brother Xiao had grown more and more beautiful. Wu Liumou had long believed that Xiao Shengnian would one day be his, but he never imagined that the Emperor of State YanLing would come out of nowhere and take away his Brother Xiao.

Wu Liumou didn’t know that Xiao Shengnian had been sent away by the wretched emperor of State YanHui. He thought that Xiao Shengnian would return to his residence first and prepare for a few days before heading to State YanLing.

Wu Liumou planned to take Xiao Shengnian away after Xiao Shengnian returned to the residence, but after a few days, he did not see Prince Rui going back. Instead, only those servants returned to Prince Rui’s residence under the leadership of the butler.

Feeling helpless, Wu Liumou stopped Yu Jiang and asked about Xiao Shengnian’s whereabouts.

“I am just a servant. How am I supposed to know where His Highness is?” Yu Jiang blinked his big innocent eyes and smiled.

“Isn’t your brother Brother Xiao’s personal guard?” Wu Liumou asked again.

“But my brother is also gone,” Yu Jiang answered slowly.

Wu Liumou lost his temper and decided to embark on his journey to State YanLing.

He wanted to see what the Emperor of State YanLing was like and how much nerve he had to steal his Brother Xiao from him!
