Chapter 160: CH 160

Xiao Yi Chen shrugged with an awkward expression, "Third prince, you ought to know, women are narrow-minded, they will bear a grudge for a long time over everything, this prince's princess is considered rather generous, she said, as long as third prince streaks naked around the city once, she won't bother about the past..."

Seeing Yuchi Gong Ru's face turn more and more black, more and more twisted, Xiao Yi Chen felt pleased for a moment, coughing he said: "This prince thinks, third prince with such a great position, how can you streak on the streets, where would prince's honour be in the future? That's why this prince spoke on your behalf, princess then compromised and said prince can keep your underwear on."

As they say, it's good to have a concession so that it's easier to see each other in the future.

People need to understand the ways of the world, you shouldn't take things too far, give everyone a chance, leave them a way out, then you can get along with them in the future, people mutually depend on each other, water helps fish, fish helps water, give some leeway, it also means giving yourself leeway.

Yuchi Gong Ru clenched both hands into fists, there was a deathly stillness in the air.

Ru Ge glanced at Xiao Yi Chen who wasn't budging at all then at the gloomy Yuchi Gong Ru, he couldn't help shake his head.

Yuchi Gong Ru was only so unlucky now because of himself, offend anyone but Ji Ling Xue. She appears very simple and easy to bully, but she had support behind her.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, it seemed like only a few breaths were taken, Yuchi Gong Ru reached for his belt, saying to Xiao Yi Chen: "Prince Chen, if this prince does as you say, when will the antidote be given?"

Xiao Yi Chen said: "When prince completes a lap around the city and return to your residence, the antidote will arrive."

Yuchi Gong Ru nodded, giving Xiao Yi Chen an unwilling glance, swiftly taking off his gown.

It was still early in the month, thick layers of frost remained on the ground, cold piercing wind caused Yuchi Gong Ru skin into goose bumps, he turned and began to head outside only dressed in his underwear, the guards from Ru Ge's residence automatically made a path, seeing Yuchi Gong Ru off with amused gazes as his figure disappeared into the dark night.

It was very dark, Xiao Yi Chen yawned, turning his head he met Ru Ge's eyes, Xiao Yi Chen raised an eyebrow.

Ru Ge said: "Aren't you afraid of extorting him like this he would do something even more extreme in the future?"

It must be understood Yuchi Gong Ru was very confident he had a good grasp on the throne, he who had come back from the edge of death wasn't looked at favourably, that's why it was so rowdy now, the old emperor will definitely punish Yuchi Gong Ru, Yuchi Gong Ru would only blame Xiao Yi Chen, when backed into a corner he might take the risk to directly force the emperor to abdicate by committing patricide.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled: "If he wants to kill this prince he can do so directly, I'll wait for him, you should prepare your emperor father's safety these next few days." The following matters were not something he a foreign prince could meddle in.

Throwing this terrible mess for Ru Ge to deal with himself, Xiao Yi Chen yawned and returned to his room to sleep.

Watching Xiao Yi Chen walk away leisurely, Ru Ge shook his head, sighing, he turned to accept his fate and headed to the study, it appears this will be a sleepless night.

On the other side, Yuchi Gong Ru disrespectfully wearing just underwear without clothes on his top half was running in ice and snow, he was somewhat happy that Ji Ling Xue only wanted him to go for the run at night.

Dayan's capital city had a night curfew, not a lot of people were walking on the streets, apart from night watchmen at work, and the drunken customers who had just wondered from the red-light district.

A night watchman was wondering about striking the gong with a lantern in his hand, suddenly a cold wind hit him in the face, he opened his eyes in shock, he only saw a white shadow move past him, as quick as lightning, the lantern in the watchman's hand fell to the ground, the candlelight inside immediately extinguished, soon after came the frightened voice of the watchman: "Ah...ghost...ghost!!"

In a certain red-light district, two flushed drunk customers were staggering down the street, still muttering about Lily's legs were so white, Mudan's waist was very slim.

Suddenly a figure flashed before them, the two customers blinked, their blurry eyes instantly widened, they also sobered up a lot.

Customer one said: "Just now...did you see something?"

Customer two rubbed his eyes, after a while saying: "It seemed like something floated by, I couldn't see it clearly."

Customer one's neck shrank down: "We can't have seen a ghost...it's not the  ninth day of September, ghosts should be locked up in hell..."

Customer two hit customer one on the shoulder, relying on Dutch courage: "Let's go, go, go, take a look."

The two moved forward with their arms around each other, suddenly there was a screech, "Ah! Ghost...ghost!"

That terrified woke the people sleeping behind closed doors, quite a few people opened their doors and came out to look with clothes draped over their shoulders, they only saw two drunkards shouting and making a fuss as they ran down the street frantically.

Yuchi Gong Ru madly rushed back to the residence with the screaming, as he entered the gates he bumped right into the gatekeeper who had just come back from the toilet, the two of them looked at each other for a while.

The guard: "Third...third...prince!"

Yuchi Gong Ru snorted, ordering: "Take off your clothes, go streak a lap then come back."

The guard didn't dare to complain and took of his clothes in a flurry, endlessly upset in his mind, how could he come across a humiliated third prince, there was no way he wouldn't be the scapegoat.

Yuchi Gong Ru watched the guard go streaking, he hmphed in anger, then returned to his house to warm himself up and put on clothes.

A moment later, the housekeeper knocked on Yuchi Gong Ru's door to report: "Master, this old servant saw a letter and small bottle at the gate."

Yuchi Gong Ru immediately opened the door to look at the bottle in the housekeeper's hand, he took it and drank it in one, then he picked up the letter, he saw the a few sloppy words, "Is the water inside the bottle tasty?"

Yuchi Gong Ru's face warped immediately, damn it he was tricked!

The next day there were rumours which went like this: There was a ghost last night in the city, supposedly the ghost came from the third prince's residence, did the third prince do something so evil to attract vengeance from a ghost? 

It wasn't a ghost, it was third prince's guard who had done something wrong and was punished to streak by the third prince, so cruel, so inhumane.

A guard from the third prince's residence went to the casino and lost everything down to his underwear, zeze, a guard didn't watch over the safety of the residence but went to amuse himself in the middle of the night at a casino, third prince ought to discipline his men properly.

At that time, Ru Ge and Xiao Yi Chen were sitting opposite each other playing chess, Xiao Yi Chen picked and put down a black piece, raising his head he smiled at Ru Ge: "No matter how these rumours get around, it greatly effects Yuchi Gong Ru, he's smart, he used his speed to make sure no one saw his face and found someone to take the blame."

Ru Ge nodded, his eyes on the board, a white piece held in his hand for a very long time without putting it down, "My imperial brother is this crafty and cunning, I wonder what next move prince is going to make?" The "move" he spoke of was of course not about the chess board, Xiao Yi Chen had rushed from Dongqi to Dayan, of course he wouldn't just stop at making Yuchi Gong Ru streak.

Xiao Yi Chen didn't reply, the trace of a smile on his lips carrying a lot of meaning, "There's no rush, I'll take the next step first..." Pausing, he looked at Ru Ge and asked, "I heard you're also investigating my princess's background, I wonder if there's a result."

Ru Ge laughed, "I think, what I found out is exactly the same as what prince knows." That is your princess, if I put in too much effort, you'll be jealous and suspicious.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled: "Oh, those old and dusty matters are difficult to investigate, Dayan isn't big but isn't small either, you've grown up in the palace, what you've seen and heard is finite."

Ru Ge laughed, picking up a piece he placed it on the chess board, meeting Xiao Yi Chen's eyes he smiled: "Prince, you're letting me win!"

Xiao Yi Chen lowered his head, his black pieces were surrounded by white, suddenly the white pieces had taken a lot of his piece, this was the result of being distracted.

Xiao Yi Chen wasn't annoyed, he picked up a black piece and placed it elsewhere, a large proportion of Ru Ge's white pieces were also cleared, a killing intention arising from the board.

Ji Ling Xue walked over carrying two trays of refreshments, seeing the two of them happily killing each other on the board, she curled her lips and sat in a corner eating.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yi Chen's secret guards had already bought Yi Yun's cousin and the silversmith to Ru Ge's residence, after questioning, after twenty years, the silversmith only remembers Liu Mei E's appearance, after seeing Ji Ling Xue he thought she was Liu Mei E.

As for that man who was with Liu Mei E, that silversmith no longer remembers his face, he only remembered he was tall and sturdy with a local accent.

The silversmith opened his bundle, taking out a black small box, taking out the longevity locket and hairpin to give to Ji Ling Xue, even thought twenty years had passed, the silversmith kept them in great condition, the longevity locket and hairpin were still silver and shiny.

A good fortune symbol was engraved on the longevity locket, it seemed to be for a child, the silver hairpin was in the shape of a peach blossom, the five flowers on it were in full bloom, the silver leaves vivid and lifelike.

Ji Ling Xue gasped, these were the only things left to her from her mother, but her father was hard to find in a sea of people.

Xiao Yi Chen patted Ji Ling Xue's shoulder, comforting: "The dead is dead, don't be too broken-hearted, if your mother would be pleased to see you living happily now."

Ji Ling Xue: "I...I'm only thinking of my biological father...is he really not Ji Bai Chuan?"

Xiao Yi Chen held Ji Ling Xue in his arms: "The truth will always come to the surface, don't worry, I'll help you continue to investigate."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, turning the silver hairpin in her hand pensively.

In a blink another day passed, Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen received news, Dayan's old emperor had summoned Yuchi Gong Ru into the palace to be reprimanded, telling him to discipline his men properly, making the people anxious about there being a ghost.

At the same time the old emperor summoned Ru Ge into the palace and spoke to him for almost half a day before letting him leave, as for what they spoke about, the old emperor had sent everyone away, no one knows.

That day during dinner, the housekeeper rushed over to Ru Ge who was just eating, reporting: "Master not good, the third prince has surrounded our residence with his men."

A tall and short guard stood behind Ru Ge, having heard what was said they couldn't help frown.

Ru Ge however looked calm, putting down his chopsticks he raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what's imperial brother doing this time, let's take a look." As he spoke he stood up and strode out.

Yuchi Gong Ru saw Ru Ge personally greet him at the gate, his lips curled into a satisfied smile, glancing over the two guards behind Ru Ge, saying in a business-like manner: "Imperial brother, this prince chased a thief to here, I suspect he has entered your residence, for imperial brother's safety, I'll send people in to search the residence over and catch that crafty thief."
