About this ebook

He smiled coldly, as if he was surrounded by evil spirits. Anyone who heard this would shudder in fear.

"Who gave you this scar on your chest?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"What if I want to pursue the matter?"

"Hmph …" If you want to pursue this Young Master's matter, you have to … Unless you have two legs! Eh? You really have two legs! "

His eyes were wide open as he pretended to be surprised. Then, he loudly refuted: "Mosquitoes... It really is a mosquito bite. Ahhh, don't come over, save me … "

    The Ugly Man’s Big Transformation - Chai JiDan

    C200

    CHAPTER 101 - C101

    It was only when the sun rose over the horizon that Mu Xueshi finally started to feel sleepy. Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the sound coming from beside the bed. So it turned out that Third Prince usually woke up this early. Mu Xueshi was puzzled. If he was like Third Prince, he would definitely eat, drink and have fun everyday. He would bring along a bird's cage to hook up beauties everywhere.

    He had deliberately forgotten the awkwardness from last night, and he had also automatically forgotten the two words that he had vowed for his revenge. Mu Xueshi was full of energy again as he jumped up like a carp hitting the wind behind Third Prince.

    I have to get up early to cultivate today! Mu Xueshi rubbed his big black eyes as he squeezed out a bright smile towards Third Prince.

    Third Prince just glanced at Mu Xueshi nonchalantly and didn't reply. While Qingya and Qing Zhu were helping Third Prince change his clothes, Mu Xueshi, who was watching on the side, felt an itch in his heart. He also shouted towards the outside, Qing Yun, Qing Yun, I want Qing Yun, you help me change my clothes too.

    As Mu Xueshi roared, he looked at Third Prince provocatively, as if he was intentionally provoking him.

    Unfortunately, Third Prince wasn't angry at all, he still stood there calmly. When Qingya and Qing Zhu heard Qing Yun's name, their hands trembled slightly. Their faces turned pale immediately, but they still tidied up Third Prince's clothes in an orderly manner.

    Third Prince's eyebrows twitched and the two maidservants withdrew without a sound.

    Mu Xueshi could not sit still any longer. The arrogance on his face earlier had now turned into awkwardness. After calling Qing Yun for a long time, she didn't even have the slightest reaction. Even if she said she was afraid of Third Prince, that would be fine. Don't leave him here!

    Mu Xueshi ran back to the bed dejectedly and randomly put on all his clothes. Usually, Third Prince didn't like others touching Mu Xueshi, so he would often change his clothes himself. If the servants were to see this, they would definitely be so shocked that they would fall to the ground, but Mu Xueshi had always happily accepted it.

    Because of this habit, Mu Xueshi was too lazy to study how to wear clothes. This time, he was forced to do it himself. Naturally, his clothes were crooked. Mu Xueshi even went to the bronze mirror to look at himself repeatedly to comfort himself.

    A handsome man is indeed a handsome man, no matter how he's dressed, he can't conceal his elegance.

    Third Prince generally understood Mu Xueshi's meaning. Mu Xueshi's actions, which he thought were very cool, became extremely cute in Third Prince's eyes. He wanted to go up and knock on his little head and see what was inside. Unfortunately, when Third Prince wasn't in the mood, he wouldn't easily reveal his true feelings. Hence, he could only smile faintly from the side.

    Third Prince was in a good mood. The consequences of what Mu Xueshi said just now were reduced by a lot. Qing Yun was transferred to the embroidery workshop to do odd jobs because of what she had said, My favorite is Qing Yun.

    Third Prince knew that once Mu Xueshi knew of this result, he would definitely yell and make a ruckus. Third Prince was sad and didn't want to mention this servant of his. As far as he was concerned, Mu Xueshi was only suitable for the weird personality and happy expression of the old geezers. Once his face revealed something that didn't conform to these factors, Third Prince would eliminate them at all costs.

    Therefore, Qing Yun had saved her life.

    Mu Xueshi was completely unaware of all this and did not understand what Third Prince was thinking. He was only trying his best to do something for Third Prince. He woke up early to practice for Third Prince, to investigate the case was for Third Prince, to live for Third Prince without a care in the world. He just hoped that when he leaves in the future, Third Prince will remember him well.

    Mu Xueshi thought that training in martial arts was something that could be done overnight. It was just like in a TV show; eating an immortal pill or sitting cross-legged for a bit could give a lot of inner strength. Who would have thought that with such difficulty, he would have to start from basic skills, repeat one action a hundred times, even stay in a position for a long time, until a part of him had already lost consciousness?

    Su Ruhan was not as heartless as Third Prince, but he was still strict and ruthless. Several times, Mu Xueshi wanted to take advantage of Third Prince's absence to plead for a favor, hoping that Liu Tie would let him go. He didn't want to be a martial arts master, he just wanted to learn a bit of self-defense. However, Su Ruhan would never compromise on this point. Once Mu Xueshi made a small move, Su Ruhan's hard ruler would definitely be thrown towards Mu Xueshi's palm.

    Pah!

    Another vicious blow landed right in Third Prince's eyes. There was obvious displeasure in Third Prince's eyes, but Su Ruhan did not back down at all.

    Back then, Third Prince had told Su Ruhan to teach Mu Xueshi how to practice martial arts, and he already knew Su Ruhan's temper. However, this was Third Prince's only choice.

    I'm going to investigate a case. It's time to investigate a case!

    Mu Xueshi saw Third Prince from afar. When he saw Third Prince approaching, he shouted at Su Ruhan and then dashed to Third Prince's back. His red hands were tightly holding onto Third Prince's belt as he stared at Su Ruhan from behind.

    CHAPTER 102 - C102

    Su Ruhan's gaze did not touch Third Prince at all. Instead, it shot straight at the person behind Third Prince as if it had a penetrating force.

    Come out!

    A clear sentence reached Mu Xueshi's ears. Although his tone was calm, he could easily hear the raging waves and raging waves that were contained within it. He tugged on Third Prince's sleeve. Seeing that Third Prince was unmoved, he could only limp towards Su Ruhan.

    Fascist … Mu Xueshi muttered as he shrunk his neck, obediently standing beside Su Ruhan.

    In order to punish him, Su Ruhan had Mu Xueshi's thin arms raised horizontally, two buckets of water were in his hands, and there was a heavy iron plate on his head. Mu Xueshi felt like his entire body was filled with lead.

    With a sad face, Mu Xueshi tried to plead to Third Prince, so he yelled at Third Prince, who was watching from the side: I won't grow anything under this pressure, it will still develop.

    Third Prince's mouth curved into a smile, but he still ignored the question.

    Mu Xueshi's previous determination was broken. At the beginning, he saw Third Prince staring at him, but he was still able to hang on with his life. When his body reached its limit, all the faith in Mu Xueshi's mind would go out of control. When his will dissipated, the two buckets of water on his arms fell to the ground with a splash, and the iron plate on his head also fell to the ground.

    Although the thing in his hand was gone, Mu Xueshi still felt sore all over. Before he could recover, he felt a burning pain on his back and felt Su Ruhan's whip land on his back.

    Mu Xueshi's tears were almost forced out by the piercing pain. Whenever he was bullied here in the past, he would think of Auntie Ma and the love he had once. However, as he stayed here longer and longer, when Mu Xueshi felt wronged, the person he thought of was no longer Auntie Ma, but the person standing in front of him, looking at him coldly.

    He must have despised himself. Mu Xueshi bit his lip hard to keep from making a sound. For the next two hours, he obediently practiced the basic moves that Su Ruhan taught him. Again and again, it was very boring, but when he saw Third Prince standing beside him, Mu Xueshi gritted his teeth and endured.

    After finally getting through the training time, the feeling of completing the task made Mu Xueshi feel extremely refreshed. Although Third Prince wouldn't praise him, but thinking that Third Prince wouldn't look down on him again, Mu Xueshi was already very happy in his heart.

    Because he was sweating profusely, Mu Xueshi had to bathe and change his clothes. He searched in the front hall for a while, but still couldn't find Qing Yun's shadow. He then asked Eunuch Tai Ang, Eunuch, where is Qing Yun?

    Eunuch Tai Ang had a troubled expression on his face. In the face of Mu Xueshi's questioning and Third Prince's instructions, Eunuch Tai Ang hesitated. If it was before, he would have unhesitatingly obeyed the latter, but since Mu Xueshi officially moved here, Third Prince's way of handling affairs was very different from before. This small courtyard also gained some popularity, and everyone's way of doing things was no longer as rigid as before.

    That was why Eunuch Tai Ang couldn't help but think for Mu Xueshi every once in a while, because as long as it was related to Mu Xueshi, Third Prince seemed to have a way to ease things.

    Seeing that Eunuch Tai Ang didn't say anything, Mu Xueshi assumed that he understood. He looked around, then sneakily took out a bunch of Fruit Seed Fragrance Beads from his sleeve and handed them to Eunuch Tai Ang. He then shot him a bribe look.

    This string of so-called jewelry was only made up by Mu Xueshi with a seed of a fruit in the yard. Mu Xueshi went to steal the fruit. After eating it, he found that the seed inside was crystal clear, so he used a string to tie it into a knot and made a bracelet.

    Originally, Mu Xueshi wanted to give it to Third Prince, but he felt that everything on Third Prince's body was exquisite. If he gave it to him, Third Prince would probably despise it, so he kept it in his sleeves. If he didn't have a request from Eunuch Tai Ang, Mu Xueshi wouldn't have given him this handicraft in exchange for the sour fruit he ate along with the painful price of having a stomach upset.

    Unexpectedly, Eunuch Tai Ang just waved his hand and showed an expression of rejection.

    CHAPTER 103 - C103

    Mu Xueshi thought he was scared, so he went over and smiled, It's okay, I'm not telling Third Prince. Just tell me, was Qing Yun locked up by Third Prince? I haven't seen her in two days. Am I implicating Qing Yun?

    Eunuch Tai Ang had never seen his master being so concerned about a servant and could not help but feel touched. Although Qing Yun had been punished because of Mu Xueshi, she was also saved because of Mu Xueshi. In this way, all of Mu Xueshi's actions were quietly changing the fate of everyone here. They should be grateful.

    After thinking about it, Eunuch Tai Ang suddenly knelt down and said in a loud and clear voice, Young Master Xue, please rest assured. Miss Qing Yun has not been feeling well lately. Third Prince will transfer his to the embroidery room to do some casual work and recuperate for a while.

    Is that so, hehe … Mu Xueshi laughed out loud. The string that had been tightened in his heart finally came down. He looked at the natural bracelet in his hand, smiled at Eunuch Tai Ang and said, You've done so much, how can I give such a shabby thing? How about this, I'll keep it for myself, I'll go to Third Prince's small gold vault and steal a good one for you.

    Before Eunuch Tai Ang could say a word of rejection, Mu Xueshi had already slipped away. Eunuch Tai Ang looked at the deep and shallow footprints, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

    On the way, Mu Xueshi and Third Prince still sat face to face in their usual posture. Mu Xueshi realized that he had gotten used to it and fell asleep in Third Prince's arms not long after he got on the horse.

    Mu Xueshi was indeed tired today. He slept soundly in Third Prince's arms, revealing a satisfied expression on his fair face. His two hands tightly held onto Third Prince's waist, his actions were very obedient and pleasant. Occasionally, when Third Prince moved his arm, Mu Xueshi would grab onto him reflexively. Even though he knew Mu Xueshi was afraid of falling from the horse, a trace of tenderness would still appear in Third Prince's eyes.

    This road was originally very quiet, but today, a carriage passed by. The carriage was full of tall and strong men, and when it passed by Third Prince's horse, it was noisy and in an unspeakable mess.

    In the next second, these people's voices completely faded away, and the entire world once again fell into silence, as if the hubbub from before simply didn't exist. Wu Tie's eyebrows that had just started to wrinkle started to unfurl. He smacked his nimble little mouth, seemingly having had a good dream. He rubbed his forehead against Third Prince's chest, turned his head around and went back to sleep.

    Those big men had all fallen to the ground. Their tongues were cut in two, and fresh blood flowed from the corners of their lips. It was an unspeakably miserable scene.

    Two masked black-clothed guy jumped down from the tree. He used his hands to poke at the people on the ground, giving them a look of affirmation. Then, he jumped into the air and disappeared into the forest.

    On this trip to the Grand Preceptor's Mansion, there was one more person in the Palace. This person had been kneeling at the entrance since the night before, waiting for Third Prince's arrival.

    He was Yuwen Tao, Grand Preceptor Mu's best friend. He knew that Third Prince was coming to investigate the case and specifically begged Third Prince to find the real murderer for Grand Preceptor Mu's death.

    How do you know Mu Xueshi isn't the real killer? Third Prince asked the person kneeling on the ground coldly.

    Yuwen Tao said with a sad and indignant expression, This humble one doesn't know, but this humble one knows that Third Prince must have his reasons for coming to investigate. Regardless of the culprit, this humble one only hopes that there will be a convincing result. If I can help you find the culprit, I would be willing to kill myself even if I have to do so …

    Then, Yuwen Tao kowtowed with tears in his eyes. Blood was on his forehead, and he looked very excited.

    Mu Xueshi, who was standing behind him, saw this scene and was secretly moved in his heart. If he was killed by someone, Third Prince could do this. He would rather get into trouble now.

    Mu Xueshi sighed in his heart. Suddenly, he didn't want to be in the same room as Yuwen Tao, because he could always feel the grief and sorrow on his body. To Mu Xueshi, seeing Yuwen Tao was like seeing his future. He did not want to bear the despair too early.

    Arriving at the main hall alone, Mu Xueshi wanted to look for more clues, but he met Housekeeper Wang, who was sprinkling something on the floor with a small bottle in his hand.

    Mu Xueshi walked over curiously and asked Housekeeper Wang, What are you doing?

    When Housekeeper Wang saw Mu Xueshi, he quickly bowed. However, he was stopped by Mu Xueshi. Housekeeper Wang's attitude towards Mu Xueshi had changed, and even his tone had become softer.

    This is the fragrant dew, it has the function of calming the womb, smelling it can strengthen the body, and it can often be sprayed on the house as mosquitoes, removing the rotting smell in the house.

    So that's how it is … Mu Xueshi was curious again. He rubbed his hands and asked Housekeeper Wang, Can you smell it for me?

    Housekeeper Wang nodded and passed it over to Mu Xueshi with a smile.

    Mu Xueshi put it on his nose and sniffed. Then, he said with an intoxicated expression, It smells so good …

    While he was lamenting, Mu Xueshi felt that this fragrance was very familiar. He passed the small bottle to Housekeeper Wang, and without saying anything more, he lied down on the ground. When Housekeeper Wang wanted to stop him, Mu Xueshi had already stuck himself to the ground like an octopus, sniffing the burnt area in the middle of the floor.

    As expected, that was the scent I smelled on the ground that day …

    CHAPTER 104 - C104

    Housekeeper Wang was puzzled and asked, Young Master, what's wrong?

    When Mu Xueshi heard the two words Young Master, he felt that his status and worth had suddenly increased a lot. Even his speech had become loud and powerful.

    Nothing! Mu Xueshi said with a loud voice, I just feel it smells good, can you give me a bottle?

    Housekeeper Wang immediately revealed a kind smile and said, All these nectar were made from fresh nectar picked from the garden in the mansion, there are still a lot in the warehouse. If you like it, young master, I can bring a few more bottles.

    No, no, no … Mu Xueshi quickly waved his hand, One bottle is enough, there's no need for that many. Hehe …

    With that, Mu Xueshi walked out of the main hall and strolled around the courtyard. Now, he had become more cautious. Even though Grand Preceptor Mu was dead and couldn't find any evidence, if there really was a murder, then it was impossible for him to destroy anything. Even so, he should have left a mark. Therefore, he had to bring back everything in the main hall except the tables and chairs to study them. Perhaps those ordinary and unremarkable items were the only ones that were truly dangerous.

    Mu Xueshi looked around with the bottle in his hand. Suddenly, a voice came from not too far away. Mu Xueshi looked up and saw his wife. Ever since he had seen her yesterday, she seemed to have been bored in her room and Mu Xueshi rarely saw him.

    Mu Xueshi instinctively felt that the owner of his body and his mother weren't that close. Otherwise, even though he had been here for two days, he didn't see any sign of her mother. I cried twice when I saw him, and the tears came faster than the brakes.

    With this thought in mind, Mu Xueshi said in a very obedient tone, Xueshi greets Mother.

    Madam Ye's heart froze, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes. Mu Xueshi had never called himself his mother before, so why was he back now? It was unknown how many times more lively than before. When the Madam heard that he could be considered the second master of Third Prince's small courtyard, she guessed that he must have got Third Prince as a backer, so he was confident enough to speak.

    Grand Preceptor's Wife smiled faintly and held Mu Xueshi's hand, saying, Mother just wants to go and pay her respects to your father. Today is the 50th anniversary of your father's death, so you should follow her.

    Mu Xueshi nodded and turned his head to walk with Grand Preceptor's Wife. However, he suddenly stopped halfway and asked Grand Preceptor's Wife, How long will it take for you to pay your respects?

    Mu Xueshi still remembered that Third Prince knelt for seven days and seven nights when he paid his respects to his mother. If it was because of the worship, leaving him here alone, he definitely wouldn't be able to endure it.

    Grand Preceptor's Wife said softly, According to etiquette, everyone close to you must stay overnight to protect your father's superhuman soul. I am pregnant, so staying up late might not be good for the fetus in my womb. So I can only try my best.

    When Mu Xueshi heard Grand Preceptor's Wife's words, he suddenly widened his eyes and excitedly said to Grand Preceptor's Wife, Aren't you my little brother now that you have a baby? Wow, I like little brothers, I don't like people."

    Then, Mu Xueshi squatted down and listened to Grand Preceptor's Wife's words without any hesitation. He had a curious expression on his face as he asked, Will he kick you?

    When Madam heard this, she closed her eyes and smiled happily. When she smiled, Mu Xueshi suddenly found that there was a hairpin on the left side of the Madam's hair bun. On the hairpin were three bright beads, and under each bead was a long pendant, exactly the same as the shadow he saw yesterday evening.

    CHAPTER 105 - C105

    Yuwen Tao was in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had an imposing air, and when he spoke, he was straightforward and full of spirit. Third Prince did not understand how Grand Preceptor Mu, an elegant scholar, could become close friends with someone who looked like a military man.

    However, Third Prince thought of Mu Xueshi from the way he acted. Mu Xueshi would always do things recklessly and never hide anything.

    Seeing the smile on Wu Junyi's face, Yuwen Tao couldn't help but ask: Did Third Prince think of something? In my opinion, Young Master Xue is not a ruthless person. Although Young Master Xue has rarely spoken since he was young and doesn't belong to any group, he has always followed the rules and regulations. Furthermore, Young Master Xue often came alone and rarely had conflicts with others! "

    Third Prince didn't have any expression on his face. Yuwen Tao was talking non-stop here for a long time. Third Prince only felt his gaze soften a little when he thought of Mu Xueshi. At the same time, he also wore a cold expression, making Yuwen Tao more furious the more he spoke.

    Just based on Mu Xueshi's character alone, it seems a little far-fetched to come and help him get rid of this accusation … Third Prince said deliberately.

    When Yuwen Tao heard this, he let out a heavy sigh and clenched his fists.

    It looks to me like Wu Cai did it. That person has a weird temper and often teases innocent servants. There is no one in the mansion who isn't jealous of him. Only Brother Mu is biased towards him, and he still has no sense of shame. Brother Mu is always loose before he's cold, such a person should be hacked into pieces.

    With that, Yuwen Tao knocked on a table heavily.

    Third Prince glanced at him as if he didn't hear anything, and said, Everyone in the mansion knows that Mu Xueshi had an argument with Grand Preceptor Mu before the accident. Moreover, when Grand Preceptor Mu was in trouble, someone saw him at Grand Preceptor Mu's house. Even if he didn't do it, it's still a crime to not save him.

    Yuwen Tao's face turned red again as he heard this. He argued with his hoarse voice, But only Wu Cai saw me at that time. We can't just listen to Wu Cai alone …

    As Yuwen Tao was speaking, a servant suddenly reported outside that something had happened to Wu Tie.

    Hearing that, Third Prince's usual calm attitude also became useless. He suddenly stood up from his seat. When Yuwen Tao looked towards the door, Third Prince had already arrived at the scene of the incident.

    After hearing that, Third Prince was relieved and didn't have any intention of saving her.

    At this moment, Mu Xueshi was riding on Wu Cai's back bravely and using his fist to hit Wu Cai's chest heavily. His eyes were burning with rage, and he clenched his teeth tightly, as if he had a deep grudge with this person.

    Wu Cai's face was not empty. Although he was weak, his movements were much more nimble. Plus, Mu Xueshi's body wasn't strong to begin with. Not long after he hit, he was sent flying backwards by Wu Cai. Wu Cai punched Mu Xueshi in the face, causing Mu Xueshi to scream miserably.

    In the end, it was Wu Cai who stopped first. When Wu Cai stopped, Mu Xueshi thought he was scared, so he raised his fist and swept it over Wu Cai's body.

    When Mu Xueshi turned around, he saw Third Prince standing there with a gloomy face.

    This time, Mu Xueshi was a little stunned. After thinking for a moment, he feigned an innocent and wronged expression and limped towards Third Prince. Then he grabbed Third Prince's arm and said, Find someone to teach him a lesson. Just use that beating board from last time. He even dared to hit your wife!

    As soon as he said that, Mu Xueshi's face fell. Third Prince's strength was not any weaker than that of a board, almost making Mu Xueshi jump up.

    Why did you hit me? Mu Xueshi shouted in dissatisfaction, He's you outsider, I'm your wife, why are you trying to rob him!

    Mu Xueshi purposely showed an angry look while panting heavily. Seeing that Third Prince didn't have any reaction, Mu Xueshi gritted his teeth and said: I've seen through you, how dare you treat me like this! Humph! Hum, hum, hum!"

    Third Prince's eyes flashed with a cold light. Mu Xueshi saw this and quickly changed his tone. He smiled coyly at Third Prince and said, Actually, it's nothing much. I was teasing you just now, I know you won't ignore me.

    Then, Mu Xueshi pointed at Wu Cai and complained, I only attacked because he caused me trouble!

    When Wu Cai heard this, he also replied without fear, I didn't intentionally look for trouble with Young Master. Today, he came and destroyed a glazed lamp in the main hall and two jade small hanging bottles, both were Young Master's favorite things before he died; he stole some of the dishes that were offered to Master in the kitchen, and even threw the long golden jade flower handle that was used to scoop up wine into the grass, and broke it into two pieces. The snow array map that Master of the side room kept was messed up by Young Master and it was difficult to recover from; now, in the study, I also saw Young Master secretly hid a book inside his sleeve, and asked him if he wanted to come out from the Grand Preceptor's Mansion.

    CHAPTER 106 - C106

    You're talking nonsense. I didn't steal the books. If I did, I would be your grandson. Mu Xueshi shouted with his small mouth wide open. He even made a gesture to go and fight with Wu Cai.

    Housekeeper Wang stood to the side and couldn't help butting in, Young Master, you can't say that!

    Wu Cai glared at Mu Xueshi, and blood was already dripping from his nose. He couldn't care about that anymore, he still said in a domineering manner, Then why did you sneakily come to this study room and hide your books inside your sleeves.

    Who said I hid it? I was just collecting it. I saw a good book, so I put it in my sleeve and took it back with me. This is our house, I can take it if I wanted, and I don't even need to say hello to you, right?

    With that, Mu Xueshi turned to Third Prince and asked in an attempt to get Third Prince to call out to him.

    Wu Cai's face turned green when he heard this nonsense, and his teeth chattered. He was being very reasonable today as he had never talked to someone so kindly before. If Third Prince wasn't here, he would have already cursed loudly.

    He never thought that Mu Xueshi would be so arrogant after running away for a period of time. Before, he didn't say a word, but now, he's like a raging bull, nobody dares to go against him.

    Why are you staring at me? Mu Xueshi was still unrelenting as he pointed at Wu Cai's nose and said, I'm telling you, don't think I'm easy to bully. I didn't care about what I did in the past, but now that I'm standing up, don't think about riding on my head anymore.

    These words almost made Wu Cai's eyes red. His charming eyes were covered with mist and he seemed to be wronged. He looked around him. No one said a word, no one even came forward to speak for him. There wasn't even a single person standing beside him. Wu Cai bit his lips without making a sound, turned around and walked out of the study room.

    Wait!

    Suddenly, with an order, Wu Cai stopped his feet abruptly. Sure enough, Third Prince had spoken.

    Wu Cai's heart tightened. He turned around and knelt down towards Third Prince. Then, he respectfully asked for permission, Please enlighten me, Third Prince.

    Third Prince's mouth curved into a sneer. A golden hook had appeared in his hand. The hook wasn't big, but the tip of the hook was sparkling. It looked very sharp.

    When Wu Cai saw the hook, he immediately turned pale with fright. He hurriedly crawled towards Third Prince and begged for forgiveness under his feet. The servants at the side did not say a word. Yuwen Tao stared at the hook on Third Prince's hand with a complicated expression.

    In the entire room, only Mu Xueshi was still baffled. He did not understand why everyone had such a terrible expression on their faces. He moved closer to Third Prince, picked up the hook and looked at it. He temporarily relaxed his mood and asked Third Prince curiously, What is this?

    Third Prince explained at a leisurely pace, This string hook is specifically used to punish the person who hit you.

    Finished speaking, Wu Cai burst into tears. His whole body was trembling in fear as he kowtowed towards Third Prince, begging for mercy.

    Mu Xueshi's expression gradually changed. He picked up Third Prince's hook and asked, You're not going to use this hook to cut his body, are you? This is too … Isn't that too cruel …

    Third Prince smiled without saying a word.

    To vent his anger, Yuwen Tao explained loudly to Mu Xueshi: No, Young Master Xue, this thing isn't used to hurt the skin. Instead, we would stick it into the abdominal cavity of a person and use our mouths to pull the intestines out one by one.

    Yuwen Tao's words made Mu Xueshi abruptly stop. He saw that no one in the room had any reaction and suspected that he heard wrong. So he asked Yuwen Tao again and Yuwen Tao gave the same answer. In the end, aside from Mu Xueshi and Wu Cai, everyone in the room had an indifferent expression. At most, there was some fear on their faces. There wasn't even a trace of sympathy in their eyes.

    That shouldn't be necessary, right … Mu Xueshi's lips trembled as he said to Third Prince, We were just playing around. Those things were originally broken by me, so you better not do anything to them. This... I'm scared …

    Third Prince was indifferent to Mu Xueshi's begging as he continued to look at the person beneath his feet with a cold expression.

    Seeing that Third Prince was really angry, Mu Xueshi immediately held Third Prince's hand, pulled him far away from the crowd, and tentatively discussed with Third Prince: It's fine to scare him, I know you treat me well, but I'm really scared. If you do that, I'll have nightmares for a few days.

    Mu Xueshi did not dare to say that he also had some sympathy for Wu Cai, because he instinctively felt that Third Prince did not like him caring too much about others.

    Third Prince still had a cold expression. Wu Cai's words were too arrogant, Third Prince had already given his all to spare his life. Unless the person he saw was not Third Prince, it would be best to let this matter rest.

    No! Third Prince spat out a word before turning around and walking towards Wu Cai.

    Mu Xueshi panicked and ignored the issue of face as he blocked in front of Third Prince in a few small steps. Then he spread his arms and hugged Third Prince tightly. He raised his face and begged Third Prince helplessly, Forget it, forget it. You hurt him, so there's one less clue to solve the case in the future. Xi …

    The extremely arrogant person from before had lost half of his courage. Thinking about his bloody intestines, Mu Xueshi felt goosebumps all over his body.

    CHAPTER 107 - C107

    Third Prince's expression was still as sharp as ice. This time, Mu Xueshi wasn't sure if this move would work or not. He hugged Third Prince and felt that this person's anger was different from usual. Even though he was usually angry, his chest was still warm. At this moment, his entire body was stiff, causing others to shiver in fear.

    In the end, Third Prince still walked straight towards Wu Cai. Mu Xueshi also let go and followed closely behind him … …

    Third Prince lifted Wu Cai from the ground with one hand and forced him to stand up. Third Prince's hand had been floating around Wu Cai's left arm the entire time. Unconsciously, a crisp breaking sound rang out, causing Wu Tie's eardrums to hurt.

    Wu Cai laid on the ground with a pale face. His entire body was twitching as he continuously nodded to thank Third Prince.

    Mu Xue looked uneasily at the Wu Cai who was in pain, then looked at Third Prince who was walking out of the door. He hesitated for a moment, but still followed him outside. Before he left, he had instructed Housekeeper Wang to find a good doctor for Wu Cai. This time, the medical expenses would be paid by him.

    Mu Xueshi didn't dare to accuse Third Prince of hurting Wu Cai anymore because Third Prince was already being lenient towards him. Furthermore, Third Prince's original intention was to avenge him, so he should listen to Third Prince's words and not cause any more trouble.

    Third Prince and Mu Xueshi left early. Mu Xueshi didn't know why, but he always felt that Third Prince's face wasn't looking too good. He sat on the horse and peeked at Third Prince a few times. Third Prince's face was sullen, but Mu Xueshi didn't know what to say, so he could only play with his clothes and fingers under Third Prince's nose.

    There was nothing on his fair hands. Mu Xueshi could not find a place to play even if he pinched it. Later on, he got bored and started to play with his clothes. While playing, he got a little carried away and pulled Third Prince's clothes together with him.

    Third Prince's expression became more and more serious, but Mu Xueshi was playing until his eyelids started to crack. Finally, he lowered his head and heavily fell into Third Prince's arms. Not long later, he started to sound asleep with a contented expression.

    After returning to the palace, Third Prince was summoned by the Emperor to the Hall of Golden Chimes for a discussion. Mu Xueshi then secretly ran to the embroidery room to look for Qing Yun. When he heard from Eunuch Tai Ang that Qing Yun was not feeling well, he wanted to rush over to see her as soon as possible. However, he didn't dare to mention it because he was afraid that Third Prince would be angry.

    When Third Prince rushed to the main hall, he saw Second Prince, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Second Prince still had a faint smile on his face and dressed casually, not looking like a prince at all. He was holding Su Ying in his arms. When Su Ying saw Third Prince, the hand holding Second Prince couldn't help but tighten, almost sticking to Second Prince's body.

    When the Emperor saw this scene, a trace of a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes. His favorite princes and grandsons were by his side, so naturally, he was in a very good mood. Seeing Su Ying's slightly frightened face, he laughed and said to Su Ying, My good royal grandson, come, let Royal Grandfather hug you.

    Su Ying knew that his Royal Grandfather's ability was greater than his Royal Uncle's. Thus, he anxiously stretched out his two lotus root-like arms and swayed them towards the Emperor. The Prince took Su Ying carefully and hugged him dotingly. He looked at Third Prince and also had a smile on his face.

    Recently, the king of Lu Bei has been wanting to pay a visit to Yun Xi. For the past two years, the two nations of Lu Bei have remained at peace. I heard that this time, the king of Lu Bei came here specifically to propose marriage. When the age of marriage reached the sister of the Lord of Lu Bei, Hao Lin, you wanted to choose a husband among all our princes.

    Husband!

    Su Ying repeated in all seriousness. He didn't know what Ye Zichen meant at all, he was just playing around. After saying that, he put his little face close to the emperor's face and rubbed it against his face. Then, he chuckled a few times and made a face towards Second Prince in a demonstration.

    No matter when Second Prince arrived, Su Ying would always be the only one in his line of sight. Even when the emperor was talking about important issues related to the relationship between the two countries, Second Prince was also joking with Su Ying. Once Second Prince was with Su Ying, his age automatically changed to six along with Su Ying.

    Huanhuan, do you have anything to do with this?

    Great … Huanhuan?

    Second Prince then heard the emperor calling him, so he quickly tightened his smile and said to the emperor in all seriousness: Coming from Lu Bei to propose is a good thing, it can help to reconcile the conflicts between the two countries. Moreover, I've heard that Hao Lin's sister has a beautiful appearance. I presume that when Imperial Father speaks of his, no prince would be unwilling to accept such an honor …"

    Hearing Second Prince's words, the emperor smiled lightly and asked, Are you willing then?

    Hearing this, Second Prince's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his original smile, and bowed to the Emperor: Imperial Father is truly praising me, Su Ying is still young, and his heart is already on Su Ying, he has no intention of marrying me again. Moreover, the Sovereign of the Lu Bei's sister is a daughter of a noble family, so if he wants to marry her, he will have to choose the most outstanding prince, which of course would have to be Third Brother.

    Second Prince pointed his spear at Third Prince. A cold light flashed across Third Prince's eyes. Even though it was impossible for him to agree, he did not say a word.

    The emperor was used to Third Prince's silence. Now, he looked at Third Prince with a slightly complicated gaze.

    CHAPTER 108 - C108

    Lujue, what do you think?

    Hearing the emperor's words, Third Prince replied expressionlessly: If the sister of the king of Lu Bei chooses my son, then I will make the decision.

    The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with Third Prince's answer and revealed a friendly smile. He was most worried about these two princes, because these two princes had the most outstanding appearances, but neither of them had a wife. Even if Second Prince had, he died because of a disease. Although Third Prince had male pet recently, he couldn't be considered as the main wife.

    Second Prince took Su Ying to leave first, Su Ying jumped on Second Prince's body very happily. Sometimes he shouted for Second Prince to carry him, and sometimes he twisted his body and was about to get off Second Prince.

    Second Prince stopped midway. He pretended to look at Su Ying gloomily and said, Su Ying, tell father why you're so happy today.

    Su Ying shook his little head and thought for a moment. Then, he said, Because I saw Royal Grandfather today. Royal Grandfather said that he would give me a Hundred Tone Bell.

    Second Prince suddenly understood and nodded, then said: But today your Royal Grandfather said he wants to marry me. You're going to have a new first wife, are you still happy?

    Su Ying hummed in agreement, pinching Second Prince's ear as he chuckled, Happy, happy. I want my mother.

    Second Prince was furious. He pointed at Su Ying's little forehead and said, But now that you have a concubine, father won't sleep with you anymore, because father is going to sleep with his concubine.

    After hearing this, Su Ying's reaction speed instantly sped up. He cried out loudly and hit Second Prince's face while struggling to resist.

    Second Prince, on the other hand, smiled. He kissed Su Ying's small mouth, which was struggling to cry, and asked gently, Then does Su Ying still have a mother?

    Su Ying rubbed his bloodshot eyes and sobbed, "No, wuu …

    When Second Prince heard this, he immediately hugged Su Ying, who was crying sorrowfully, and felt a lot more at ease.

    When Third Prince was about to leave, the emperor suddenly thought of something else and called out to him. Lujue, Imperial Father heard that you took in the Grand Preceptor's son as male pet.

    Third Prince replied calmly, No, Mu Xueshi is not male pet …

    The emperor was slightly surprised for a moment, but he immediately retracted the last bit of peace. He said seriously to Third Prince, Mu Xueshi is a criminal within the Imperial Court. Although I can't convict him during this period of eight kowtows, it doesn't mean that I can let this matter rest in the future.

    There's something suspicious about that case. royal father, please give your son some time. Your son will definitely capture the culprit for this case.

    When the emperor heard this, his brows immediately tightened. His expression was indescribably solemn. Although Grand Preceptor Mu didn't have a deep relationship with the Emperor, the Emperor had once admired him. At this moment, he had died in unknown circumstances. The Emperor was very concerned about him, or else he wouldn't have ordered Third Prince to solve this case.

    He thought that since Mu Xueshi had already confessed, this case would be settled. Who knew that in just a few days, there would be a new situation? This made the emperor feel uncertain about Third Prince.

    Third Prince saw the look in the emperor's eyes and immediately cupped his fists together and said, Please trust royal father. Royal son will definitely not be selfish.

    The emperor was very satisfied with Third Prince's observation skills, so he raised his chin and signaled for him to get down.

    After Third Prince said goodbye, he hurriedly returned to the small courtyard. Although he had a calm expression on his face, he was still a bit worried. He wasn't afraid that someone would cause trouble for Mu Xueshi, because Mu Xueshi had many bodyguards with him. Normal people were not allowed to get close to him. However, Third Prince wasn't sure if Mu Xueshi would cause trouble for him, because he always liked to do unexpected things.

    When he returned to the room, Third Prince saw Mu Xueshi sitting obediently by the side of the table, staring at the clothes on the table as if he could get some clues that way.

    He turned the small bottle over and over a dozen times, and even sniffed it with his nose, so that he did not notice that Third Prince was behind him.

    As he held Mu Xueshi's old clothes, Mu Xueshi couldn't help but recall Third Prince's words that day.

    This is the real you.

    Every time he thought of that sentence, Mu Xueshi's heart ached. He never experienced the feeling of suffocation towards him. He envied the owner of his body so much. Apart from bearing the responsibility, he had everything else. He had beauty, a good family background, and even friends.

    Most importantly, he had Third Prince.

    Mu Xueshi's body could fit two souls, but Third Prince's heart could not be split into two. Once the truth was revealed, he would be the one to leave. When that time came, he would be nothing more than a dream.

    CHAPTER 109 - C109

    Sigh!

    Mu Xueshi let out a long sigh and threw the shoe he was looking at towards the table. The shoe went along the table and smashed onto a pillar nearby and bounced back, showing Mu Xueshi's anger.

    Finally, the shoe was firmly grasped by Third Prince.

    Mu Xueshi did not see the shoe fall to the ground, his heart was surprised, when he turned around, he found that the shoe was still intact in Third Prince's hand.

    Mu Xueshi was a bit embarrassed and asked Third Prince, You... Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

    Third Prince didn't say anything. He put the shoe back on the table and looked at Mu Xueshi with a serious expression.

    Mu Xueshi realized that he did something wrong and quickly tried to find a reason to escape. In the end, his mind was blank as he squatted on the ground and used a clean piece of cloth to clean off the dust on his shoes. He originally wanted to throw it away, but after thinking that it might be an important clue, he carefully wrapped it up and placed it in the cabinet.

    The Emperor summoned you? Mu Xueshi tried to get close to Third Prince.

    Third Prince nodded.

    Mu Xueshi once again forced out a big smile and asked Third Prince: That emperor looks mighty? Was the concubine beside him beautiful? Did he really have three thousand beauties in the harem? Do you always have to be careful when you talk to him? What did he want to talk to you about?

    In the end, Third Prince only answered Mu Xueshi's last question.

    The king of Lu Bei is here to propose.

    Mu Xueshi nodded as if he understood something. Then, he picked up a fragrant pear on the table and gulped it down.

    Which princess was chosen? Or do you only choose when it's time to choose?

    Third Prince added: The princess has come to propose marriage.

    Mu Xueshi nodded and said, Oh, then what do I need you for?

    Just as he finished, the pear in Mu Xueshi's mouth stopped before Third Prince could explain. No matter how stupid he was, he could understand this point. Mu Xueshi suddenly felt the sweet fragrant pear in his mouth turn sour. No matter how he ate it, it would not taste.

    Outside, Eunuch Tai Ang reported that dinner was ready and that Mu Xueshi and Third Prince could start their meal first.

    Mu Xueshi had been waiting for Third Prince for a long time. If Third Prince didn't come, he wouldn't eat because he felt that he had no taste for eating alone. He had been so hungry that his chest was close to his back just a moment ago, but now he didn't have the slightest bit of appetite.

    Mu Xueshi didn't know where this feeling of sadness came from. As soon as Third Prince finished speaking, his head, which was more than 100 times spirited, drooped down. He couldn't hide his emotions at all.

    Then you agreed? Mu Xueshi asked nervously.

    Third Prince didn't answer Mu Xueshi, he only said to the door with a calm expression, Prepare the dinner.

    Seeing that Third Prince ignored him, Mu Xueshi knew that this was most likely the case. He shouted towards the door, I'm not eating. I'm not eating anymore. Don't use my bowl!

    With that, Mu Xueshi went to the side room to vent his anger. Since he didn't dare to throw the antique calligraphy and paintings lightly, Mu Xueshi could only smash his fist on the hard chair. After shouting a few times, he got more and more annoyed, so Mu Xueshi sat on the chair by himself and stared blankly.

    Why should I be angry?

    Mu Xueshi thought for a while and finally came to the conclusion. Third Prince would be angry when he saw himself talking to someone else, and he also thought that he was the most important person to him.

    However, he would always take care of his feelings, but Third Prince had never taken care of him. Mu Xueshi realized after a while that Third Prince didn't seem to have given him any grievances. Third Prince's face was cold and indifferent towards everyone, and he didn't have any good friends. Furthermore, Eunuch Tai Ang said yesterday that Third Prince's expression would only soften if he looked at him.
