Chapter 77: Chapter 75: That Little Brat Even Dares to Stay Out All Night?!
On the other side of the wall, Nangong Mo was still immersed in the statement Yun Ran had made:
["Nangong Mo is really great! Look, this is the love bracelet between us~"]
He remained lost in complacency for a long while, but upon suddenly hearing Yun Ran’s words, his smile instantly vanished; he squinted his eyes dangerously and asked Feng Xuan:
"Does Your Highness have romantic entanglements? Has Your Highness harmed many respectable young ladies?"
Receiving that unkind glance from his master, Feng Xuan’s heart trembled, and he shook his head decisively, "No! Absolutely not! Your Highness keeps himself pure, not a woman within ten zhang!"
Then he heard Shen Weixi’s loud female voice ringing from over there:
"There are plenty of romantic tales about King Qin. If we really start talking, we might not finish even after three days and nights. How about I pick a few to tell you?"
"So many? It’s okay, it’s okay. I have time. Weixi, take your time to talk. If it’s not enough, we can stay up all night discussing by candlelight~"
Nangong Mo: "..."
That brat dares to think of staying out all night?!
He could see her excited little expressions even through the wall!
And that Shen Weixi, daily up to no good, always trying to entice another’s wife, looks like it’s time to find her a match...
Shen Weixi still didn’t know she was already being thought of. Remembering the romantic tales she’d heard over the years about Prince Qin, she began to speak with bright eyes:
"Yue’er, have you heard of Queen of Xiliang? It was a small country, ruled by a queen. That queen was quite beautiful, and rumor had it she was infatuated with our King Qin, madly obsessed and unable to free herself. She even proposed to offer her kingdom in exchange for marriage, inviting Prince Qin to rule Xiliang, where he’d be king and she’d be queen consort."
Yun Ran was taken aback, "Such a good thing? How did Nangong Mo react back then?"
[A womanizer man! Sporting an alluring, devilish face, always enticing butterflies outside! I’ll beat him up when he gets home later!]
Shen Weixi, though, spread her hands with an earnest tone and said:
"Our unromantic Prince Qin not only was unmoved by the queen’s deep affection but personally led his army to the city gates, annihilating Xiliang."
"From then on, Xiliang was annexed into Tianchu, becoming one of our vassal states. That queen, oh, she gave away her kingdom but didn’t get the man. Isn’t that tragic?"
Yun Ran: "..."
"Nangong Mo is also too unromantic! Feel so sorry for the queen!"
Shen Weixi patted her shoulder with a meaningful look, continuing:
"There’s more, once a minister’s daughter managed to sneak into King Qin’s camp by overcoming many obstacles, offering herself at his bedside. Can you guess what happened next?"
Yun Ran blinked, "She... got into bed? When did this happen? Does he have an illegitimate child then?"
Shen Weixi shook her head, "Guess again."
"No? Seriously?" Yun Ran thought hard, "Did he just use her up then turn his back and pretend not to know? That would be too beastly!"
Shen Weixi frowned slightly, "Wrong!"
"Then... did he use her up and then just kill her off to silence her?"
Shen Weixi: "..."
Opposite the wall, Nangong Mo’s handsome face had already turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Eyes as dark as ink flickered with a ghostly light, chillingly cold, as if ready to send out a few ghosts to float through the wall and strangle a certain little lady.
Feng Xuan silently moved back a little, wishing he could hide himself somehow.
The image of his master in the princess’s mind was really...
