Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Qi Cheng couldn’t bear to see his beloved man being treated like this. He turned around and looked at Ke Ruan, “Acting? Do you really think that Long is too fool to see through what you are doing?”
“Shut up.”
“Brother Qingye.”
True, he was the one who thought of this scene. They directed and acted by themselves. But how could he forget that this was not in modern times and they were not real actors?
So, so many people died because of him again.
“Your Highness!”
Lin Qingye looked at Ke Ruan nervously.
“I’m fine, I’m just tired and need to get some rest. General Lin, please, give them elaborate funerals. I… I need to go back first now.” Ke Ruan stumbled a little.
Ke Ruan walked to the carriage like a ghost. Seeing this, Si Yuhan frowned.
Meeting Si Yuhan’s worried gaze, Ke Ruan didn’t feel excited at all. He forced a bitter smile and said, “It’s ok. Tomorrow we can go back. I’ll find you a master to learn from and he can teach you how to practice martial arts, too.”
Si Yuhan pressed his lips into a line, then said, “Okay!”
Ke Ruan huddled in a corner. Thankfully, there was stil time for him to ease up his mind. In fact, it was not too hard for him to accept. He knew this from the beginning that this was a long shot. It would take him a long time to take down the Prime Minister.
Si Yuhan stood up and suddenly pressed Ke Ruan’s head against his chest.
Ke Ruan found this silent comforting gesture both funny and weird, but his eyes were getting red.
“Silly boy.”
Si Yuhan heard Ke Ruan’s muttering and looked at his little body. He hated how he looked.
He hated it more and more each day. It was so small that no matter what he did, Ke Ruan wouldn’t take him seriously.
Ke Ruan always treated him as a child, which really pissed him off.
The news that Ke Ruan had been attacked by assassins for three times was spread into the imperial court. The Emperor was furious and gave an order to do a thorough investigation about it, which made everyone feel anxious.
After all, they were separated into multiple parties. When the prime minister found out that Ke Ruan survived from those three attacks, he became more and more malicious and insidious.
His only son was killed by Ke Ruan. He had no choice but to revenge.
“Prime Minister, the Emperor are now looking for those who tried to kill the prince, what should we do?”
The Prime Minister, who was sitting in the main chair, didn’t even bother to hide his viciousness and resentment on his face and said, ” What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve already taken care of it. There’s no trace left behind.”
“But…” Those people who were looking at each other in dismay were still afraid. Originally, they didn’t take that good-for-nothing crown prince seriously, but losing his favorite son really irritated the Prime Minister.
They didn’t expect that Ke Ruan could survive from all this. Who could have thought that the assassins they sent would meet that guy surnamed Long?
Why bad things happened all at the same time?
It was known that Long, who was extremely loyal to the Emperor, yielded to neither the carrot nor the club. He was even much harder to deal with than Lin Qingye.
“Prime Minister, what should we do now?”
“Wait. They have no proof yet. Just that man alone couldn’t hurt me at all.”
Those ministers nodded. After all, they knew what Ke Ruan was capable of. Even if he actually achieved something, it couldn’t make them change their mind about Ke Ruan’s being a loser.
While those people were waiting, Ke Ruan and the rest weren’t. When they were back in Yuliang County, the news about Ke Ruan punishing the corrupted county magistrate and winning the bandits over without a single casualty was spread to the capital, causing people change their views of Ke Ruan.
Naturally, they would not waste such a good opportunity. The news of Ke Ruan’s being attacked was spread across every corner of the city, in which they made a great effort.
