Chapter 211 Slapping the Arrogant Crown Prince in the Face 4
Leng Yuexing's pupils shrank upon hearing this. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected it to be the reason the madam mentioned.
So, in the normal timeline, shouldn't the Feather Kingdom have not been destroyed, but instead become stronger under the rule of the Child of Heaven?
This time, the outsiders actually chose to destroy the entire country...
Leng Yuexing felt that this outsider was different from the previous one. Was it just his imagination?
Or is this outsider not the same person as the previous one?
He had once thought the outsider was just one person, but now it seems there must be other outsiders...
Unfortunately, he only saw the blurry light and shadow that guided him once, and he didn't know which immortal in the Main God Space it was, so he had no way of asking him.
He tried to contact the sapling, but it still didn't respond.
Well then, Leng Yuexing lowered his head and pondered. Whether it was the same outsider or not was not important, since they were all obstacles to his reclaiming the destiny of the Child of Heaven.
Seeing the madam wiping away tears below, Leng Yuexing gently advised, "Don't worry too much. As long as we can avenge the Yu Kingdom, none of this matters."
The madam wiped away her tears, then choked out, "Yes, young master."
She glanced at the sky outside; it was already dinnertime. "I'll go and tell someone to send dinner to the young master."
After the madam left, Leng Yuexing stared blankly at her bright red wrist.
Arriving in this world as a male prostitute, he was truly astonished. He hadn't had time to look for his lover before, but now that he thought about it, the Imperial Advisor Dongfang Ye was the most likely candidate.
Leng Yuexing chuckled lightly, "Whether it is or not, we'll find out by taking the test tomorrow."
After a good night's sleep, the next morning, before Leng Yuexing had even gotten out of bed, Nuannuan told him from outside the door that the Imperial Advisor was already waiting for him in the front hall.
Leng Yuexing turned over. It was early autumn, and the weather was chilly. She stretched her arm out of the blanket and felt a chill.
"Take good care of him and let him wait in the front hall!" Leng Yuexing shouted towards the door, then curled up and buried herself in the quilt.
Dongfang Ye waited in the front hall for more than an hour before Leng Yuexing finally appeared.
Leng Yuexing was still dressed in red. All the clothes in his wardrobe and the ones Nuan Nuan had bought for him were red. He didn't care about the color of his clothes, so Leng Yuexing always wore red.
"Sorry to keep the Grand Preceptor waiting," Leng Yuexing said lazily as she descended the stairs.
The madam followed behind Leng Yuexing. Seeing Leng Yuexing speak to the Imperial Advisor in such a manner, her heart began to pound, fearing that the Imperial Advisor might shut down their Qingfeng Tower if he was displeased.
Although Qingfeng Tower is a place of pleasure, all the girls and boys there sell their art, not their bodies.
Qingfeng Tower provides shelter for young ladies and gentlemen who have nowhere else to go or are homeless. If they do not wish to stay at Qingfeng Tower, they are free to leave, and Qingfeng Tower will not force them to.
If Qingfeng Tower is sealed off, those young ladies and gentlemen will once again become homeless.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Advisor's reaction was far beyond her expectations.
Dongfang Ye knew he had arrived too early, but he didn't complain at all after waiting outside for more than an hour.
Besides, he knew that Leng Yuexing was his destined one, and he was willing to wait not just for an hour, but even a whole day.
After seeing Leng Yuexing come down the stairs, he went up to her and draped his snow-white cloak over her shoulders, saying, "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Leng Yuexing gripped her cloak tighter and smiled, "Let's go, Grand Preceptor."
“Since Yuexing will be teaching you the zither in the future, it would be better if you called me by my name in private,” Dongfang Ye said, looking at Leng Yuexing with deep affection.
Leng Yuexing gave him a half-smile, half-smile, "Shall we go then, Dongfang Ye?"
“Okay,” Dongfang Ye replied, then led Leng Yuexing toward the door.
Outside Qingfeng Tower, a carriage had been waiting for some time.
The carriage was sturdy and spacious, with a simple and unadorned appearance.
Leng Yuexing was about to board the carriage when she heard the sound of hooves in the distance, and a group of people and horses came galloping towards her.
Leng Yuexing looked up and saw the group of people stopped in the open space in front of Qingfeng Tower. Crown Prince Gongsun Jing got off the carriage.
When Gongsun Jing saw Leng Yuexing about to board Dongfang Ye's carriage, his eyes darkened instantly. He strode up to the two of them and said, "Leng Yuexing, yesterday I wanted you to go to my Eastern Palace, but you refused. Today you boarded the Imperial Preceptor's carriage. Are you looking down on me?"
Ever since Leng Yuexing learned that it was the Crown Prince who led the army to destroy the Yu Kingdom, she suspected that the Crown Prince was an outsider and never gave him a friendly look.
Upon hearing this, he bowed and said coldly, "Your Highness is overthinking it. The Grand Preceptor only wants me to teach him the art of playing the zither."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Jing glanced at Dongfang Ye standing beside him and said, "How ridiculous! I didn't know that the Imperial Preceptor, whom my father called a master, actually needed someone else to teach him the zither?"
Dongfang Ye remained calm and composed, showing no sign of being exposed. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is too kind. Yuexing's zither skills are unparalleled in the world, and I naturally wish to learn from him."
"How do you teach me? With your injured hand?" Gongsun Jing turned and stared at Leng Yuexing, his eyes filled with coldness.
Leng Yuexing raised her hand, which she had specially made up that morning, with deep red scratches that looked like they reached the bone. "Teaching piano skills only requires guidance; naturally, I don't need to play it myself."
Then, he turned to look at Dongfang Ye and asked, "What do you think, Grand Preceptor?"
When Dongfang Ye saw Leng Yuexing's wounds, his heart ached. With concern in his eyes, he nodded and said, "That's how it should be. If it makes your injuries worse, then it's my fault."
When Gongsun Jing saw the wound on Leng Yuexing's hand, he realized that he had misunderstood her. He turned to look at Duofu standing behind him, and Duofu silently took out some high-quality wound medicine from his pocket and handed it to Gongsun Jing.
Gongsun Jing tossed the wound medicine to Leng Yuexing, saying, "This is a wound medicine bestowed upon me by my father. It is very effective. Apply this and your wound will heal in a few days."
Leng Yuexing subconsciously took the wound medicine, but immediately threw it back to Gongsun Jing, saying, "Thank you for the medicine, Your Highness, but I don't need it."
"Leng Yuexing! You've rejected me time and time again. Do you think I won't kill you?" Gongsun Jing said angrily.
At this moment, all his goodwill towards Leng Yuexing turned into anger. Now, all he wanted to do was pluck this beautiful and noble flower, and he didn't care whether the flower would be damaged or not.
"Your Highness, as the heir apparent, you should be careful with your words!" Dongfang Ye shouted from the side.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Jing turned to look at Dongfang Ye, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He had been trying to find a way to kill Dongfang Ye, but Dongfang Ye was highly skilled in martial arts, and he had never succeeded.
A stronger killing intent than Gongsun Jing's was gathering in Leng Yuexing's eyes. If he could kill Gongsun Jing directly, Gongsun Jing would have already been beheaded. How could he tolerate Gongsun Jing being so arrogant in front of him?
Leng Yuexing clenched her fists. Since she couldn't kill him, Leng Yuexing now really wanted to beat Gongsun Jing up.
He lowered his eyes, hiding his murderous intent. Then he took out a peanut from his pocket. Since Gongsun Jing was facing Leng Yuexing at that moment, Leng Yuexing quickly flicked the peanut onto an acupoint on the side of his neck.
Gongsun Jing felt a sharp pain in his neck, then lost consciousness. He closed his eyes and fell backward.
Duofu, who was standing behind Gongsun Jing, was so frightened that he immediately supported Gongsun Jing.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! What's wrong? Please say something! Don't frighten this servant! Someone, quickly summon the imperial physician!" As Duofu's voice fell, a guard stepped forward and carried Gongsun Jing on his back, and the two quickly ran towards the carriage.
Leng Yuexing glanced at Gongsun Jing, who was being carried onto the carriage by a guard, and then turned and entered the carriage.
Dongfang Ye then lifted the curtain and sat inside.
Inside the carriage, Leng Yuexing sat in the center, head bowed, silently pondering how to get rid of the crown prince.
Dongfang Ye sat down next to Leng Yuexing and said in a low voice, "Excuse me." He then grabbed Leng Yuexing's arm and lifted his hand.
After carefully examining Leng Yuexing's wound, he took out the exact same wound medicine that Gongsun Jing had thrown to Leng Yuexing from his pocket.
He carefully sprinkled the wound medicine on Leng Yuexing's injured hand, and then wrapped Leng Yuexing's wound with a snow-white handkerchief.
Leng Yuexing's special effects makeup skills are superb; to the naked eye, there is no trace of makeup, making it almost indistinguishable from reality.
Leng Yuexing didn't tell Dongfang Ye the truth. He watched Dongfang Ye bandage his hand, then hooked Dongfang Ye's chin with his index finger and whispered, "Dongfang Ye, has anyone ever told you that you are very good-looking?"
