FENG YU JIU TIAN VOLUME 14 CHAPTER 5.2

“Royal Uncle has come back?” A low bassed feminine tone sounded out like a musical instrument.

QZ: I have met with Duke Ming.

After a moment of silence, a sweet female voice exclaimed, “Oh!”

QZ: Just like my lady says, he is very gullible. During the banquet, I kept on praising him on the various achievements he made and repeatedly told him that I won’t let Qing Li harm him. He must have felt that I will not harm him at all. Before leaving, he even agreed to travel with me to Tong Ze.

Qing Zhang’s ears burned red as if someone blew a heavenly breath behind his ears. He reached back and suddenly was overjoyed when catching the soft hand of his lady.

This beauty’s trick was very ambiguous, she made him believe that she loved him, but yet always refused to let him easily touch her. Tonight, she agreed to give him the upper hand, of course to reward him for his diligent efforts.

“Royal Uncle must remember, once you reach Tong Ze, you need him to meet with Qing Li first. You must never let him be suspicious of you at all.”

Qing Zhang gently played with her soft hand, filled with confidence he said, “Lady Qian Qian, please rest assured. I’m not the type of person to reveal any flaws. Duke Ming is a naive brat, even if there are ten of him, they would not be my opponents. Also, this time, I have brought along Imperial General Zhuang Pu. This person has no clue about my plan and even believes that I’m protecting Duke Ming in order to stabilize the peace within Tong Kingdom, so he will certainly protect him safely. With him to cover up, no matter how clever Duke Ming’s bodyguards are, they won’t see anything out of place.”

QZ: After traveling for more than 10 days from Fang Di to Tong Ze, they will soon believe I have no ill intentions towards Duke Ming. Just like that, once we reach Tong Ze, I will arrange a meeting between Qing Li and Duke Ming. Their attention will then be completely focused on Qing Li.

The woman sarcastically answered, “Congratulations, Royal Uncle. If this plan succeeds, the one sitting on the throne of Tong Kingdom will be you, Royal Uncle.”

QZ: I actually have to congratulate My Lady instead, your son will now have a chance to inherit the Xiao Family business. Isn’t this even larger than the small throne of Tong Kingdom? Hopefully, once this plan is successful, My Lady won’t forget your promise to me.

The soft hand he was playing with suddenly withdrew. Qing Zhang was not annoyed, instead he licked his lips and said, “There are rumors that not just Xi Lei’s Great King fancy Duke Ming, but the Li King is also captivated by him as well. In my opinion, Duke Ming is very pleasing to the eyes, but the most beautiful is a young wife who can satisfy, flirt and be charming like you…”

LQQ: Once Royal Uncle successfully gets rid of that little bastard, then you can think about these things. Right now, I’m only worried about that useless Qing Li. We have painstakingly created all sorts of advantages for him, and even formed a scheme to lure that kid away from the two layers of bodyguards. I’m just afraid he might miss this opportunity to kill him. This useless trash is always doing things without definite assertiveness and if he starts hesitating before taking action, therefore missing the golden opportunity, our plan will immediately fall short.

QZ: That is not possible. He is currently under Shang Yi’s spell to the point that he lost all awareness. He has been drugged by the medicine she gave him. Right now, as long as Shang Yi tells him something, even if it’s to jump into the sea, this foolish kid will follow through with it. Not to mention, you just want him to avenge his father. Naturally, after avenging his father, we need his little life to compensate in the future. Ha ha ha! After I execute him to relieve the pain of Xi Lei King and Xiao Family, I will find him a good burial place to express the sorrow as a Royal Uncle.

Tong Kingdom’s capital, Tong Ze.

Tong An Quarter – Prince Qing Li’s residence was located less than ten miles east of the Tong Palace. This place was quite large with tall red walls and a great variety of rare plants planted inside the luxurious interior. This was the generation of Tong Kingdom monarch’s bestowment to their eldest sons, also known as the Royal Prince’s quarter.

Qing Li’s chamber was also the most spacious room within the “Royal Prince’s quarter.” The North Xiu Chamber was connected to the Royal Prince’s bedroom, very convenient to move between the rooms. That room would be renovated every three months so that Shang Yi, the beloved beauty of the Prince, could reside in it.

That one afternoon, Qing Li was still nestling inside the bedroom with Shang Yi.

SY: Hush, let me concentrate.

QL: Alright, alright. I won’t argue with you.

Qing Li leaned back behind Shang Yi, his hands reached forward and were placed on her soft slender waist, admiring the beautiful image of her concentrating.

Shang Yi was in her late teens, around 17 or 18. Her appearance was able to move people, she had a docile personality, could flatter others easily and held some knowledge of medicine and fortune telling. After her parents passed away, she had been sold into Tong An Quarter. Their first meeting left Qing Li stunned by her beauty. He loved her dearly and thought that the heavens were compensating him for the loss of his father by sending her to him.

SY: Your Highness, I’ve made the reading and the outcome looks optimistic.

QL: Oh? How is that?

SY: This appearing fortune is a good omen.

Shang Yi explained softly, a bit playful and fatigued, she fell back into Qing Li’ arms.

SY: Your Highness’s ascension to the throne is Heaven’s will, no one is able to stop you. But…

QL: But what?

SY: But the fortune also states that there will be a hidden obstacle, the ascension would need you to complete an important task.

QL: I thought it was something bad! So that is it. This important task must be to avenge the death of my father. Luckily, you enlightened me that day, or else I would be useless against my Royal Uncle. As long as I kill that Duke Ming or something, one, it will avenge my father; two, it will allow the officials to believe that my father has been murdered; three…

SY: Three, you will receive support from Xi Lei King (Rong Tong). Your Highness is so smart, I don’t know why those officials chose to serve Qing Zhang and not you.

QL: Sooner or later, they will regret it.

In Qing Li’s eyes, a glimpse of vicious light flashed, but it was only for a short while. He started laughing, slipped his fingers through the open slit between Shang Yi’s waistband and the inside of her clothes.

QL: The pills you made last time, do you still have them?

SY: I shouldn’t have made those pills. Each time Your Highness takes them, you become exceptionally aroused, sooner or later, I’ll probably die in your hands.

Making a few complaints, her eyes were filled with flirtatious lust, she removed the sachet hanging on her waistband, took out two dark green pills and handed them to Qing Li.

Qing Li rejoiced, he took the pills and ordered his maids to bring over some water.

Suddenly, a voice reported from outside the door, “Your Highness, Princess Chang Liu is requesting to see you.”

“What is she doing here?” Hearing the news, Qing Li became upset, “I’m currently busy and have no time to see her.”

He turned back to Shang Yi, who had already removed her outside apparel, she was beautiful beyond words, arousing Qing Li’s thirst. He chuckled a few times before taking the jaded cup to drink the medicine, but then the door flung open.

The beautiful sunshine from outside instantly darted against their faces. Shang Yi was startled as she sat up and stared towards the door.

Because the good moment was destroyed, Qing Li was even more furious, he shouted, “Who!”

The neatly clothed person stood in front of him. That person was a beautiful young woman with five maids closely following behind.

He froze a bit before bitterly saying, “So it’s you.”

Shang Yi immediately got out of bed and kneeled down, “Greetings, Princess Consort.”

When Chang Liu stormed into the room, she had a clear picture of the situation. Seeing Shang Yi’s half opened dress skirt, she became even more angry, but her face retained its sense of calmness. Ignoring her greeting, she faced Qing Li and coldly bowed to him, “Greetings Your Highness.”

QL: Are you here to just greet me? I already said that I’m busy and yet you dare to storm in! Does the Princess of Zhao Bei not know any manners?

Qing Li snorted, seeing his beloved Shang Yi kneeling on the ground, he couldn’t help but feel saddened. While helping Shang Yi up, he glared at his wife, “Is there something important for you to impatiently storm in like this?”

Because Princess Chang Liu had long refused to marry him had became a gossip throughout the world, along with Du Feng’s reputation as the “Reluctant King” had spread like wildfire, Qing Li felt extremely humiliated by by this.

Therefore, despite the fact that Chang Liu eventually married to Tong Kingdom, Qing Li has never felt anything towards his principal wife.

CL: I have repeatedly ask for an audience with you, but Your Highness continues to refuse to meet me. I ask Your Highness, the buildings in the back of Tong An Quarter have long been abandoned, but just recently, more and more strangers are frequenting the area. Not just that, they are also carrying weapons on hand, does Your Highness know about this?

QL: I know. Those are some of my highly skilled men. I wanted them to stay there.

CL: What is Your Highness planning on doing with them?

QL: It’s not up to you to interfere.

CL: Are you planning on using them to help you assassinate Xi Lei Duke Ming? What type of person is Xi Lei Duke Ming? He is beloved by the people of Xi Lei and is currently the Young Lord of the Xiao. Does Your Highness ever wonder why he has the courage to openly travel? Because no matter who kills him, no one can escape the retaliation of Rong Tian and the Xiao Family. What you are doing is digging your own grave.

QL: What do you know? You ignorant woman! A Prince’s affairs are not for someone like you to meddle in!

Chang Liu was a Princess married into the Tong Kingdom, even though she didn’t have Qing Li’s love, she was still his main wife and had never received such a heavy scolding by Qing Li like this. She was shocked, but she never blamed her husband. Diverting her attention, she stared at Shang Yi who was standing to the side, seemingly fragile.

CL: This is all because of this vile woman influencing Your Highness, isn’t it? What audacity! You dare to seduce His Highness…

QL: You’re the outrageous one!

Qing Li grabbed Shang Yi, noticing that she was trembling, he became more furious and pointed at Chang Liu.

QL: Get out! You’re not only vicious, but a jealous woman without a cure! Someone! Drag her out for me!

Hearing his shout, the guards rushed in from outside and made their way towards Chang Liu.

A popping sound was heard when Chang Liu slapped one of the nearest guards across the face. Proudly standing in one place, an awe-inspiring inviolable view. She stared at Qing Li for a long while before opening her trembling pale lips, “No need to get involved, the Princess Consort will leave on her own.”

The Princess harshly glared at Shang Yi once more before turning around and walking out.

Several maids behind her quickly followed after her.

Seeing her image fade from view, Qing Li didn’t feel his anger subside yet, he faced the guards and shouted, “Get out!” He kicked the door and suddenly losing balance, he waddled back a bit.

“Your Highness!” Shang Yi was by his side in time to hold him up from behind, she gently said, “Your Highness mustn’t be angry and injure your body.”

Qing Li turned around, seeing the face of his beloved, his mood became slightly better. He allowed Shang Yi to help him return to bed.

QL: I just don’t understand why my father chose a hateful wife like her. In the future, if I ascend the throne, I will dispose of her and crown you my Queen.

SY: Shang Yi does not wish to be Queen. I just hope that Your Highness will soon avenge the Great King and kill Duke Ming. As long as Your Highness becomes Tong Kingdom’s Great King, this would be a blessing to the people of Tong Kingdom.

QL: That is most certain.

Hearing the words of his beloved made Qing Li relieved. His heartbeat quickened as her small soft hand was placed on top of his chest. An indecent smile slowly formed on his face, “Ah? Where did those two pills roll off to? Tell the maids to find them and then we’ll have a good time…”
