Chapter 112 – Inspection Tour, Part 2 

When the middle-aged couple saw that the tables around their wonton stand were full of guests, the middle-aged man hurried forward and greeted them warmly, “Would these guest like some wontons? They are all made fresh today. There are small wontons and big wontons. The big wontons are stuffed with cabbage and pork.”

After visiting the night market and walking around so much, the food from dinner has already been digested, so Lin Jia Bao thought for a while and said, “Give us each a big bowl of wontons.” As he spoke he looked to Xuan Yuan Han Cheng for consent. Naturally, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng had no objection.

As soon as he got the order, the middle-aged man immediately told his lover to make the wontons. He also went over to help his lover, passing him bowls and such. The two cooperated tacitly, and soon the wontons were done. Lin Jia Bao was the first to have a taste. The soup tasted very fresh. It was likely a bone broth that’s been simmered for a long time. The wontons were big and the seasoning was just right. Lin Jia Bao gobbled up the big bowl of wontons one by one.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng stared at Lin Jia Bao eating wontons without blinking at all.

His ardent gaze made Lin Jia Bao feel embarrassed. “The wontons are delicious, but they won’t taste good when they get cold.”

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng lowered his head and ate the wontons. He was now very satisfied with his darling’s appetite. His darling has finally put on some weight and feels very nice to hug.

Lin Jia Bao’s group finished eating the wontons and paid the middle-aged couple with a silver ingot. The couple was extremely grateful.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng and Lin Jia Bao left the stall holding hands. As they walked, Lin Jia Bao asked Xuan Yuan Han Cheng, “Will we be like them in the future?”

“In this lifetime, we will definitely be together until we’re old and gray.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng vowed that no matter what difficulties there were in this lifetime, he would never let go of Lin Jia Bao. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng held Lin Jia Bao’s hand tightly. He really wanted to hold this hand and walk together forever until the end of time…

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng and Lin Jia Bao stayed in Luo City for a few days. After admiring the beautiful scenery of Luo City with Jia Bao, they boarded a big ship and set off for the next stop of their inspection tour – Hu Province. The final stop of the inspection tour would be Jiang Province.

This big ship was specially built for His Royal Highness’s inspection of the Luo River Canal. The hull was very large. It was two stories high on top and also had a floor below. It could accommodate over a thousand people. The huge ship sailed along the Luo River very smoothly.

This was Lin Jia Bao’s first time riding on a ship, and on top of that it was such a huge vessel. Riding on a ship was very different from being on land. When he walked along the plywood surface of the ship, the ground would sway beneath his feet. Looking at the water lapping against the hull of the ship, Lin Jia Bao smiled with delight. Everything was so new and fresh for him.

After sailing for two days, the ship docked in Hu Province. Like Luo City, there were already many officials awaiting their arrival.

They stayed in Hu Province for two days. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng inspected the unfinished river embankment in Hu Province, checked the speed of progress, and made some arrangements with the officials in Hu Province.

After that, they boarded the ship again and set off for Jiang Province. After three days of sailing, they finally arrived in Jiang Province. In Jiang Province, they met with Dai Heng, the vice-minister of the Ministry of Works. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng saw the completed embankment in Jiang Province and praised Dai Heng profusely.

“With this embankment, the Luo River will never be afraid of the spring flood at peach-blossom time.”

Dai Heng was very excited to receive His Royal Highness’s praise.

“Thank you for your appreciation, Your Royal Highness. Without your support, I would not be able to do this. My subordinates will continue to work hard and supervise the completion of the embankment projects in other river sections as soon as possible.”

“Dai-daren has worked hard and accomplished a meritorious deed. When we return to the capital, I will ask His Majesty to reward you.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng said.

A few days later, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng finished his official duties and took Lin Jia Bao around to enjoy the scenery of Jiang Province. The canals in Jiang Province have been connected to the Luo River, with branches extending in all directions. The port was very prosperous, and the shops along the shore were still very lively even at night.

In addition, there were a few decorated pleasure boats docked along the shore. The melodious sound of a qin could be heard coming from the boats. Lin Jia Bao heard the music and praised, “These boats are so beautiful and the music is very nice!”

Seeing that his darling liked it, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng ordered Yuan Fu, “Go and rent out a pleasure boat.”

Yuan Qing with his loose lips said, “That’s a flower boat, right?”

Curious, Lin Jia Bao asked, “Flower boat? Is there a flower shop on board?”

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng was amused by his darling’s expression. “You will know if you take a look.”

Chapter 109 – Miss You, Thinking of You 

Silence settled inside the car for a while. The two men continued to hold on tightly to each other’s hands.

“How is your research and development going?” Xi Duan broke the silence.

Upon touching this topic, Duan Shu Tong’s spirit lifted. “Almost done. It should be successful in a few days.”

Seeing Duan Shu Tong’s eyes full of joy, Xi Duan was also happy for him, but his heart ached for how hard the young man had to work. “When you’re done, take some time off for a break.”

Duan Shu Tong smiled and nodded. “Let’s head back. I want to eat hot pot.”

Back at the residence, Cen Ning and Liu Zhi Fei had already prepared the ingredients, and they greet Xi Duan and Duan Shu Tong with a smile when the two men walked in through the entrance.

“Young Master Duan, long time no see.” Cen Ning set the table. “It’s cold in the winter, so eat some hot pot to keep you warm.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

The heat was turned on inside the house. Xi Duan helped Duan Shu Tong hang up his coat and then asked gently, “What flavor of sauce do you like?”

Duan Shu Tong did not hold back, “I like it slightly spicy.” Except for a bit of hot sauce, he was not used to any other flavors.

Xi Duan naturally hummed in agreement and went to prepare the spicy sauce. Cen Ning secretly elbowed Liu Zhi Fei and gave the other man a meaningful look. He really wanted to share this gossip. But Liu Zhi Fei just looked at Cen Ning suspiciously, completely missing the point.

Cen Ning: “…” Oh, forget it. He’ll just have to keep this gossip to himself.

The hot pot used a light, clear soup as base. A few ingredients such as red dates and wolfberry floated in the soup, creating a refreshing taste. After boiling the food in the soup, they dipped the food in sauces and ate it. It was very delicious.

Cen Ning and Liu Zhi Fei ate heartily, while Duan Shu Tong and Xi Duan were more reserved, eating carefully and slowly.

This was most likely due to the shyness between new couples. After all, they weren’t considered an “old couple” yet.

After eating hot pot, the entire body felt warm.

Duan Shu Tong helped clean up. Then he put on his coat and said goodbye to Cen Ning and Liu Zhi Fei.

Standing beside him, Xi Duan said in a low voice, “I’ll see you off.”

After the two left, Liu Zhi Fei finally sighed, “President Xi and Young Master Duan have such a good relationship. He’s seeing him off even though it’s just a short distance away.”

Cen Ning: “…Haha.”

The cool night wind buffeted against their faces. Duan Shu Tong wrapped his scarf tighter around himself and lowered his head to stare at his feet.

Seeing their shadows together on the ground made him happy.

But when he thought about how Xi Duan would have to return to Yan City in a few days and that there would be fewer chances to meet up, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.

It was also his own fault. He’s been so busy with research and development that he had no time to date Xi Duan.

“When my new drug is developed, I will go to Yan City to find you.”

Xi Duan smiled and pulled him into his arms. His voice floated in the young man’s ears, “No, I’ll come to you.”

Xi Duan’s scent tickled his nose. Duan Shu Tong stretched out his arms to return the hug. He raised his head and said seriously, “After the new drug comes out, clinical trials have to be carried out. So I will have time, but you are so busy.”

Xi Duan hugged him tightly, and said in a very soft voice, “I know, but spending time with you is not a waste of time, I want to come to you.”

He didn’t want Duan Shu Tong to have to run back and forth.

Duan Shu Tong was moved by his thoughtfulness. He was about to continue being lovey-dovey with Xi Duan when his cell phone rang and broke the atmosphere between them. It was his father. He couldn’t ignore it.

“Shu Tong, Dad wants to ask you something.”

“En, what is it?”

“About the hair care product that you gave me last time, was it produced by the Spring and Autumn Hall? Several of your uncles have asked me about it. This product is very effective. Why is it not on the market?”

Duan Shu Tong replied, “Dad, that product was specially tailored for you.”

Duan Sheng Ye asked, “…Oh, then can you tailor more? Their hair loss is worse than mine, so they are in a hurry. But if you don’t have time, then forget it.”

Of course, Duan Shu Tong would not refuse his old man’s request. Since those unknown uncles want it, he could submit the project to the company.

Perhaps, anti-hair loss products would also be well received by the public.

After hanging up the phone, Duan Shu Tong and Xi Duan looked at each other and smiled. Although the original atmosphere was no longer there, the current tenderness between them was still heart-warming.

Xi Duan actually joked, “It looks like pretty soon your company will release a batch of anti-hair loss products. Everyone should like it very much.”

Duan Shu Tong teased, “The Xi family has such good benefits. I’m tempted to transfer over.”

“No need to think about it. You’re already a member of the Xi family.”

Duan Shu Tong: “…”

That sounded right too.

Chapter 135 – Born to Live for the Camera (44.1)

Xiang Xi looked at Qiu Jin who was talking to the director. Then he looked away unwillingly.

He didn’t expect Qiu Jin to perform so well. He was able to act opposite a senior actor so smoothly, to the point that he almost overwhelmed the other actor’s brilliance.

“The Rise and Fall of the World” was originally a drama with a large cast. Ji Tongguang was considered the male lead because he had the most scenes in the drama, so his role was able to connect all the threads in the drama. In a way, he was not even as impressive as some of the main supporting characters.

Moreover, the archetype of a vengeful prince was too hackneyed and could not evoke the audience’s fondness. There were many characters in the drama that were better than him.

For example, there was the character of Ji He who cross-dressed for the sake of a peace marriage. In the end, he turned into an anti-hero, got his image whitewashed, and he even had a male-on-male sex scene in the drama! He took all the buzzwords like cross-dressing, big villain, and gay love.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Then there was the role played by Zhang Qiongzi – Empress Mi Luo. Mi Luo was a swift and decisive character. Her tactics were ruthless and unruly. Members of the harem were not allowed to be involved in politics, but she took care of government affairs for her muddleheaded husband. Later on, she schemed to have her husband die in his beloved imperial concubine’s bed. Then she straightforwardly took the title of monarch and assumed control of the kingdom.

There was also the character played by Jiang Ming – the formidable Jiang Zhe, who had a fierce, ruthless, and arrogant personality.

……

All of these characters were cruel and vicious, slapping the faces of their enemies soundly. Their character settings were simply way too cool.

Only his role was so boring. Ji Tongguang’s character was full of compassion, duty, propriety, and integrity*. The audience was tired of characters like him, okay?

[*T/N: 仁义道德 “compassion, duty, propriety, and integrity” – an idiom mainly used in a sarcastic sense to mean someone or something is hypocritical]

No, there was also the female lead, Feng Ling, who was as miserable as him. Her character setting was a wet nurse, and she was a medical master with a white lotus personality. Her main role was in the later stages of the drama, where she worked with Ji He to developed a medicine against the jiangshi*. Otherwise, she was plain to the extreme and had an existence value of nearly zero.

[*T/N: 僵尸 jiang shi – Chinese vampire]

Feng Ling was also very depressed. She was clearly the female lead, so why was her sense of existence in the drama so weak?

Ji Yao was the most beautiful woman in the world. She died in the first episode, but that did not prevent the audience from remembering her.

Zhang Qiongzi was a vicious empress with a strong and majestic aura.

Even that Qiu Jin was really beautiful in disguise.

But she, the female lead, was simply a plot device, and throughout the entire drama she never got to dress up nicely even once.

The director even told the makeup artist that Feng Ling was too pretty, so they shouldn’t go too heavy on her makeup. If the makeup look didn’t match her character setting, it would cover up her acting skills.

Of the top four beautiful flowers in the entertainment circle, Feng Ling was number one. So she could only smile and accept this.

Due to the arrival of the big producer, all the staff members on set were tense, and they ended earlier than expected. In a spurt of energy, Yi Congqing told the executive director to prepare for the next scene.

Ji Shenxiao and the group of executives were about to leave, but when they saw the contents of the next scene, they stopped again.

It was a scene between Qiu Jin ang Jiang Ming.

Because Ji He was aware ahead of time and had his guard up, Ji Mingwu’s assassination attempt failed. Due to that, his cross-dressing ploy was also exposed and Jiang Zhe ended up discovering them both. In this scene, Qiu Jin was dealing with the aftermath of all that.

Ji He’s cross-dressing ploy was exposed…

So how was he exposed?

On the day when the groom’s family returned to their country with the bridal sedan, Jiang Zhe made Ji He remove his upper garment in front of all the civil and military officials. This action was not simply removing Ji He’s clothes, but it also removed the entire An Kingdom’s dignity.

This was a slightly insulting scene.

A public condemnation was probably like this.

Ji Shenxiao suddenly felt a little irritable. Rationality told him that he should leave, that there was still a lot of work waiting for him to complete, but looking at the scene in front of him, there was a powerful force that kept him where he was.

The group of executives was waiting for him to make a decision. Lu Pingyin gently reminded him, “President Ji?”

Ji Shenxiao withdrew his gaze from the scene and said, “There are no other arrangements today, let’s have dinner together after the filming is over.”

The staff members were all happy to hear this.

Since the big boss has spoken, the other executives could not leave without careful consideration. What else could they do except continue watching?

While the staff was setting up the scene, Yi Congqing was talking to the two main actors of the scene.

“You are all trustworthy actors, so I won’t say much. Let me just remind you of one point. Jiang Ming, remember, although Jiang Zhe made Ji He undress in public, his purpose was not to insult Ji He, but to insult the country behind him through Ji He.”

Jiang Ming nodded, “Understood.”

Yi Congqing continued, “Qiu Jin, you should also pay attention. Although this scene is somewhat explicit, don’t make it pornographic. The key to this scene is the royal power contest behind the physical body.”

Qiu Jin nodded his understanding.

Different from the An Kingdom’s architectural style, the Dongwu Kingdom’s main hall was rough and vast, carrying the pride of the coastal plain.

Jiang Zhe sat on the throne, looking down at Ji Mingwu and “Ji Yao” who were in the audience.

Ji Mingwu was arrested for attempting to assassinate Ji He, and was forced to kneel on the ground, while “Ji Yao” stood beside him with his hands at his sides.

The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

“Why the assassination?” Jiang Zhe’s deep voice echoed in the hall. “Ji Mingwu, as Ji Yao’s older brother why would you assassinate your own younger sister?”

Chapter 152.1 – Punishment

“Are you guys the owner of this restaurant?”

It wasn’t until An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian walked right in front of them did Bao Xin Chun and her husband came back to their sense. Wanting to gain the upper hand by a show of strength, Bao Xin Chun immediately spoke before them, hoping to gain the initiative by striking first.

The husband and wife pair was mainly active in the West District, so they’ve never seen Fu Wu Tian before. They could feel that the two men’s temperaments were different from ordinary people, but they didn’t take it seriously. Their reasoning was that since these two were running a restaurant and was also showing their faces inside the establishment, then they must be lowly businessmen.

The Zhuo family was the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. There wasn’t a single businessman with enough strength to compete against the Zhuo family, so everyone had to give the Zhuo family some face.

An Zi Ran looked at the husband and wife pair. After a long while, he said, “I am. I heard that you two found cockroaches in my restaurant’s food.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Bao Xin Chun puffed up with false bravado and sneered. Then she threw the hamburger with a cockroach in it in front of An Zi Ran. “Look, this the hamburger from your restaurant. You see the cockroach on it? How do you explain it?”

An Zi Ran looked down at the dead cockroach.

Without him opening his mouth, Fu Wu Tian knew what he was thinking, so he picked up the cockroach.

An Zi Ran glanced at it, and suddenly said something inexplicable, “This cockroach is really big.”

Everyone heard this and was confused.

Zhuo Gao Ming and his wife didn’t know what he meant.

An Zi Ran was not afraid of getting dirty. He picked up the cockroach by the antenna and swung it back and forth in front of the husband and wife pair. He added, “Moreover, it’s a cockroach that was trampled on purpose.”

The expressions on Zhuo Gao Ming and Bao Xin Chun’s faces changed. They finally realized what An Zi Ran wanted to say.

Zhuo Gao Ming immediately shouted in a stern voice, “What do you mean? Are you trying to say that we deliberately trampled on this cockroach to death and then put it in the food?”

An Zi Ran ignored his rebuttal. With a calm expression, he continued to speak, “You may not be very clear about the process of making hamburgers. Two slices of steamed buns are baked in the oven. Then a beef patty is placed between the two slices of bread and paired with other ingredients. If a cockroach really ran in, the cockroach should not have been trampled. Moreover, it’s such a big cockroach that even an old man in his sixties or seventies would not miss it.”

Upon hearing his explanation, everyone felt that it made sense.

This cockroach was twice as big as what they usually saw. It was impossible for an old man to overlook it, let along a young and healthy young man working in the kitchen.

Furthermore, the kitchen was a place that needed to be kept the cleanest. Today was the An Family Restaurant’s grand opening day. How could they be so stupid that they would miss a cockroach of this size? And who could be so stupid as to put a squashed cockroach in a hamburger?

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Everyone couldn’t help but recall what Shopkeeper Liu had said before, and then they thought about how picky the couple was being as soon as they sat down, and suddenly they felt like they knew the truth. The gazes looking at Zhuo Gao Ming and his wife began to change one by one.

Ugh, the couple was obviously envious of this restaurant, but why did they have to come here and make everyone feel disgusted with their farce? The other customers almost lost their appetite because of them.

Zhuo Gao Ming and his wife were annoyed to find that the situation had been reversed by just a few words from An Zi Ran.

The two became angry and Bao Xin Chun even scolded, “What evidence do you have to prove that we did it? If you don’t have evidence, don’t frame us. Our Zhuo family is not easily bullied.”

Zhuo family?

Are they trying to tell him that he couldn’t afford to offend them because they have such a big backer?

An Zi Ran looked at them with ridicule in his eyes.

“Ha ha, you are indeed not an ordinary person.”

Pang Zhong’s energetic voice suddenly rang out, breaking the increasingly quiet atmosphere of the main lobby. Some people were even startled by his interjection.

Only then did An Zi Ran recall that there were two lively old men sitting in the corner. When he turned his head to look, the two old men had already walked over.

“The elder who laughed is Pang Zhong, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the one behind him is Wan Xi Chuan, a great calligrapher. His level of mastery in literature is comparable to Grandfather.” Fu Wu Tian told An Zi Ran.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

Contrarily, An Zi Ran’s attention was on the last sentence, but at the moment there was obviously no chance for him to ask about it, because the two old men had already arrived in front of them.

Pang Zhong looked him up and down, nodded with a smile, and then shifted his gaze to Fu Wu Tian. He cupped his hands in salute and said to the two: “Pang Zhong greats junwang and junwangfei.”

A single stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The crowd became noisy right away.

These two outstanding-looking men were actually the rumored junwang and junwangfei?

The people in the West District have only ever heard of the junwang and junwangfei, but they’ve never actually seen the two in person. Suddenly seeing these two lordly figures in front of them, the people were obviously shocked to their core.

“It has been a long time. Elder Pang and Mr. Wan are both hale and hearty despite your golden years. You’re still as lively as ever.” Fu Wu Tian nodded at the two elders with his hands behind his back. Both elders were friends with his grandfather. It wasn’t to the point where they opened their hearts and poured their guts out to each other, but their relationship was still good.

Wan Xi Chuan was pleased by what he saw. He has always heard rumors about Fu Wu Tian that spoke of him as an arrogant jerk who considered everyone else beneath him. Only by seeing Fu Wu Tian with his own eyes did he know that the man was different from the rumors.

After Rebirth the Tragic Omega Wins 43

T/N: Was sidetracked by something else IRL last week. Will be playing catch up to make up the missed updates. Thank you for your patience.

Chapter 43 – Kneel Down (16.1)

Fortunately, after they arrived at the conference room, An Ji stopped teasing Li Rong and began to analyze the case seriously.

This case was actually not difficult. It was even a little too simple. When the time and place were fixed, one only needed to use surveillance to find the alpha and beta who were in the garden at the time of the crime, and then use the elimination method to determine the culprit.

At present, the police were also using this investigation method to finally identify An Can as the suspect through time, witness, and physical evidence.

But because it was too simple, no one even suspected that their judgment was wrong. The police department was in a hurry to deliver results to the superiors to demonstrate the spirit of the empire’s rule of law in front of the Republic.

However, An Ji was convinced that An Can was wrongly accused. He could not use the police department’s way of thinking to deduce the criminal, so he had to reorganize the clues with Li Rong.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Monitoring showed that An Ning rushed into the garden from the banquet hall after 8:30 pm. About thirty seconds later, Xu Jing An chased after him, but she came out after two minutes because she did not see An Ning.

The garden was so huge that they got lost in the maze of rose gardens and plants.

The next time that An Ning appeared on surveillance again, it was already fifty minutes later at 9:10 pm. The first one to discover him was the head of the Education and Science Department Lang Lunli. He said he was having a smoke in the garden when he saw the unconscious An Ning. Then he immediately called the police and had An Ning sent to the hospital.

In the video, Lang Lunli looked to be in his early fifties. His smiling eyes make him look quite easy-going, with the reliability and kindness unique to his father’s generation.

An Ji asked, “When did he go to the garden?”

Li Rong answered, “8:50.”

An Ji frowned. “Does it take so long to smoke?”

…

“Does it take so long to smoke?” Two hours ago, Yu Zhengruan had asked Lan Lunli the same question.

“It wasn’t just smoking.” Lan Lunli shook his head. “School is about to start soon. A lot of people came up to me to propose a toast. I drank a little too much, so after smoking, I took a walk for a while to get some air.”

“Then you saw the victim?”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

“No, I took a call from my wife and chatted for a few minutes. After I ended the call and continued walking forward, I saw the victim.”

“The other person was already in estrus?”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t have any thoughts?”

“What kind of thoughts can I have?” Lang Lunli laughed. “I won’t like anyone except for my wife, not to mention that the child is younger than my son. Even if I’m deranged, I wouldn’t touch him, let alone in a place like this.”

…

Lang Lunli has a good reputation in the public mind. He respected omegas and was very approachable to betas. In particular, he spearheaded the Omega Protection Foundation and has helped many omegas in poor areas.

For the moment, he didn’t see any suspicious points, so An Ji swiped away the video and moved on to the next one.

“Do you think An Ning is dressed a little strangely?” Li Rong suddenly asked.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

“What’s strange?” Before An Ji could answer, the little police officer on the side spoke.

Li Rong answered, “He is wearing a white suit, but his hat and cloak are orange. The color and style design do not match. As a noble omega, he should not make such an obvious mistake.”

An Ji suddenly realized: “He didn’t wear a cloak when he came. These things belong to someone else!”

The young police officer stood up immediately: “I’ll go check it out right now!”

Chapter 168 – Historically Memorable Villainy Arc 

Even the person being accused of the crimes did not intend to defend himself, so it was practically meaningless for the imperial court to discuss his crimes. If they kept droning on it would only make them seem like they’re venting unreasonably. The noisy court gradually quieted down. Lu Li’s charges were sorted and then presented one by one before the court.

Song Zhilan sat on the imperial throne. His gaze was hidden beneath the fringe of beads on his crown. He spoke in a calm tone without any inflection, “Ministry of Justice, based on the law how should the Prime Minister of the Right be punished?”

The minister of the Ministry of Justice took a step forward. He cupped his hands together in salute and bowed. He said, “The Prime Minister of the Right is guilty of terrible crimes. According to the law, he should be imprisoned immediately, and executed on a chosen date. He will be fined and his property will be confiscated…”

After all of the prime minister’s deliberate planning and all of his tricks, this was the ending he got.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

They’ve finally gotten to this point. But it was strange that Song Zhilan did not feel anything in his heart. The young emperor lowered his gaze. He had unconsciously clenched his hands into fists. He slowly uncurled his fingers and said softly, “Do as the law says. Court ends here today. Everyone is tired. Court dismissed.”

After saying that, Song Zhilan got up from the throne and strode away.

The courtiers were a little at a loss as they watched the emperor leave court. Each of them was stunned for a while, then they gradually left court while whispering to each other, but their gossip was nothing more than talking about how the Prime Minister of the Right has committed so many crimes so he wouldn’t be able to escape death anymore.

Song Rong stood where he was, the phrase “executed on a chosen date” seemed to still be ringing in his ears. It made his chest feel incredibly stuffy. He wanted nothing more than to rush out there and speak up, but he knew that now was not the time.

It might have just been a passing inquiry for the Minister of Revenue, but the man’s words sparked an idea in Song Rong’s head.

The prime minister’s mansion seemed very expensive and regal, but it was just an empty shell. The place where he should have stored all his treasures was empty, so a large sum of money must have been used somewhere else.

Song Rong didn’t believe that Lu Li possessed the temperament of a spendthrift. As long as he followed this trail, he would definitely be able to discover something.

It’s just… he had to be quick about it…

The dark ferocity hidden in the young emperor’s eyes made even a seasoned general wary.

Song Rong lowered his eyes. His mind was rapidly running through calculations of where he could start his investigation, but then he suddenly heard someone calling him.

His raised his head towards the sound of the voice. Only then did he notice that the court was mostly cleared out by now. Lu Li was looking at him with a calm expression, but at some point his pale cheeks had gained a rosy flush.

The man was burning with fever!

A nervous thought suddenly reared up. Before Song Rong could second-guess himself, he had already walked over to Lu Li and quickly caught the man in his arms just as he was about to fall over.

Lu Li has an extremely proud personality, so he would never easily reveal his weakness in front of others, especially not in a courtroom full of people. He’s been trying to hold on all this time, but he was likely already at the end of his rope.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Song Rong’s towering body blocked Lu Li’s figure from view, so that the few stragglers in the courtroom would not be able to see him in his weakened state. Lu Li’s weight pressed against Song Rong’s arm as the other man lost his strength. Song Rong’s eyes felt hot. He steadied Lu Li’s body. When he looked down he could see that Lu Li’s weakened state had completely wiped out the apathy from his eyes. Song Rong’s heart clenched.

Song Rong knew very well that Lu Li never intended to show this weakened side to him. But Lu Li’s ink black eyes had became crystal clear due to the high fever. Looking at him like this, it was impossible for Song Rong to just stand aside and watch without doing anything.

Watch him push himself to his limits, watch him topple over, watch him throw away his life… He couldn’t do that.

The courtiers had all dispersed, leaving only the silent imperial guards in the courtroom. Song Rong took a deep breath and was about to pick Lu Li up bridal style, but Lu Li suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Lu Li’s eyes showed that he was sullen and indignant. He silently glared at Song Rong. But due to his high fever, his gaze was not scary at all. Rather, it was breathtaking…

Song Rong cut of his train of thought abruptly. He felt like if he finished that thought it would be a frivolous insult to this magnificent jade-like person.

Su Shi was unaware of his current situation. He was only thinking about the prison time that he had won through great difficulty.

The young emperor had allowed him to keep his dignity. He didn’t order the imperial guards to drag him away to the prison. Compared to the first time around, when he was nearly shoved into a prison cart and paraded through the streets, this treatment was much better.

There needed to be an imperial order for his imprisonment. The other man might have snatched away his first imperial decree, but he would get another one sooner or later.

Su Shi gave Song Rong back his hand stove. It had already cooled down. He thanked Song Rong in a low voice. Then he turned around. He was about to called for an imperial guard to take him to the dungeons, when he suddenly heard an apology from behind him.

Before Su Shi could react, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. Su Shi turned around in astonishment. Before he could summon up any anger, his vision blacked out.

Song Rong had knocked Lu Li out. He quickly caught Lu Li’s limp body. He wore an apologetic expression. He could almost feel Lu Li’s burning fever through the layers of fabric.

Since Song Zhilan did not dare to look, Song Rong would send Lu Li to him.

Song Rong met the astonished stares of the imperial guards with an indifferent expression. In a heavy voice, he said, “The prime minister is seriously ill. Can I have the imperial physician diagnose and treat him first, and then send him to prison after his condition has stabilized?”

Chapter 111 – Inspection Tour, Part 2

When Xuan Yuan Han Cheng came to pick up his darling, he saw that Jia Bao’s eyes were red. His expression turned cold in the next moment, and he asked, “What’s wrong, darling? Did you cry?” Did someone bully his darling? Did his treasure suffer any grievances while they were apart?

“En, I watched a very touching opera this afternoon. Yuan Er is so pitiful…” Lin Jia Bao explained the content of the show to Xuan Yuan Han Cheng, talking about Liang Xian’s betrayal and Lin Yuan Er’s infatuation.

“My silly treasure, next time don’t watch these tragedies again. I don’t want you crying anymore.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng held Lin Jia Bao’s little hand and gave this order. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng couldn’t even bear having his darling cry for him, so how could he be willing to let Jia Bao cry for some insignificant person or thing? In Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s heart, his darling’s tears were more precious than pearls.

“Understood.” Lin Jia Bao obediently nodded his head.

The prefectural magistrate’s wife stood off to one side, not daring to interrupt at all. His Royal Highness was really domineering, ah!

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng looked at the prefectural magistrate’s wife, “Thank you for your hospitality today, Madam Zhong…”

“Oh no, not at all, not at all. To have Lin-cejun come to our manor as a guest is a great honor for us.” The prefectural magistrate’s wife said quickly.

After leaving the prefectural magistrate’s manor, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng took Lin Jia Bao to the best restaurant in Luo City for dinner. There was already someone waiting in the private room of the restaurant and this person was Liu Ze Qi.

“This is my former study partner, Liu Ze Qi. He is currently the vice minister of the Ministry of War.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng introduced Liu Ze Qi to Lin Jia Bao, and then he said to Liu Ze Qi, “This is your future master. Treat him like you would treat me.”

Liu Ze Qi listened to His Royal Highness the crown prince’s words, straightened his clothes, and saluted solemnly. “Greetings to Master Lin.”

Lin Jia Bao also replied courteously, “Rise, Liu-daren.”

Liu Ze Qi was finally able to meet the crown prince’s sweetheart in person. Lin Jia Bao was very different from what he had imagined, but Lin Jia Bao was undeniably much better than what he had imagined.

Liu Ze Qi has been in Luo City for a long time, so he was very familiary with the local scene and culinary delights. Lin Jia Bao was very interested in hearing his stories. Seeing his darling and Liu Ze Qi chatting so enthusiastically, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s expression gradually darkened.

“Darling, eat a little faster. When you’re done with dinner I’ll take you to the night market.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng personally added food to Jia Bao’s bowl.

“En. Yummy…” As Lin Jia Bao ate the delicious food, his big eyes narrowed in delight. He was extremely cute.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng gently wiped the sauce from Jia Bao’s mouth.

Liu Ze Qi saw a completely different side to His Royal Highness today, and for a moment he even wondered if this was a fake pretending to be the crown prince. When had His Royal Highness ever treated someone so tenderly and carefully before? That loving look in his eyes made goosebumps rise on Liu Ze Qi’s skin.

Liu Ze Qi looked at Lin Jia Bao with some scrutiny in his gaze. He hoped that this Lin-cejun would be worthy of His Royal Highness’s devotion.

After dinner, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng dismissed Liu Ze Qi, and then he brought Jia Bao to the famous night market in Luo City. The guards that followed them all wore casual clothes and blended in with the crowd, leaving only Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing to follow them openly.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng took Jia Bao by his hand and they strolled leisurely through the night market.

The night market was very lively and there were many people. Lin Jia Bao held Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s hand tightly. Even when he was having fun picking through knickknacks, he would be holding onto Xuan Yuan Han Cheng with the other hand, never letting go.

After strolling through the whole night market, Lin Jia Bao still couldn’t get enough of it. Yuan Qing, who was following behind them, was already loaded down with parcels both big and small. However, Lin Jia Bao was a bit tired after all the walking so when he saw a wonton stand along the road, he said, “Let’s go eat a bowl of wontons and rest our feet.”

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng naturally agreed with his darling’s decision. It just so happened that there were no other customers at the wonton stand and it was fairly clean. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng sat down at a table with Lin Jia Bao, while everyone else sat down at the tables around them.

The owners of this wonton stand were a middle-aged couple. The middle-aged ger was responsible for making the wontons and cooking them, while the middle-aged man was responsible for errands that required legwork, serving the customers, and cleaning tables.

Chapter 108 – Miss You, Thinking of You 

But Duan Shu Tong has some unusual idea that just so happened to perfectly circumvent those obstacles.

“How did you come up with these things?” Han Ling had no idea how many times he’s asked this question.

The more time he spent with Duan Shu Tong, the more he felt like the feeling of “shock” was getting weaker and weaker in him.

…Because he has been shocked way too many times already.

Duan Shu Tong smiled and said, “I probably came up with it in a dream.” In fact, there were many conjectures in the real world that were quite close to the real answer, but there was no way to prove them through experimentation.

Duan Shu Tong stood on the shoulders of his predecessors. He was using the experiences from his previous life and copying over his knowledge from that life into this one. Duan Shu Tong believed that even without him, the people in this world would eventually overcome these obstacles in the near future.

With NT’s equipment, Duan Shu Tong was like a tiger that has grown wings*. In addition, he had Han Ling, who could just barely but was still capable of keeping up with his train of thought. After the holiday ended, the assistants could also come back and help with some simple auxiliary work. So the pressure on Duan Shu Tong wasn’t that great.

[*T/N: even more powerful]

But in the eyes of others, he has been continuously busy for nearly two months. He even missed the waves that Spring Flower No. 2 caused once again.

The source of the matter came form Lu Shi.

The actor who was rumored to be disfigured participated in the recording of a popular large-scale reality show. He was a temporary guest for one episode.

Through the camera lens, Film Emperor Lu’s face did not seem unnatural. He might not look as beautiful as he did in the past, but he still looked noble and handsome compared to most people.

Long-time fans held their hearts and screamed. It was like a ray of light had suddenly broke through the dark dawn and allowed them to see hope once again.

New fans, who were attracted by Lu Shi’s good looks and personal charm, learned about Lu Shi’s past, and all of them felt very distressed for him. They praised him for being an inspiration.

Lu Shi, who returned to the entertainment circle, re-entered the public’s notice again because of a reality show.

In an era where influencers was king, Spring Flower No. 2 automatically became a hit with the public.

Netizens exclaimed one after another, what kind of magic power did the Spring and Autumn Hall have?

The top actress Lin Man Man endorsed Spring Flower No. 1 with all her heart, and the returning Film Emperor Lu strongly promoted Spring Flower No. 2. These two waves of popularity have created much momentum for the Spring and Autumn Hall!

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

The Spring and Autumn Hall has truly became popular. Even the couple’s eye cream, Spring Flower No. 3, was sold out.

What would happen if the company made money?

Zhai Jun never thought that one day he would be troubled by this kind of thing. It was both depressing and happy.

Manager Zhai, who has entered the second spring of his career, made up his mind to expand! The Spring and Autumn Hall was hiring!

Zhai Jun still remembered Cuckoo’s mocking words from not long ago. He was determined to one up them.

With manpower and a higher-level laboratory, He Run, the director of the R&D Department, was full of energy. His ten-year silence was not a waste of time. He has many, many ideas that urgently need to be realized.

The winter in Shan Quan County was a bit cold and humid.

Duan Shu Tong wore a long coat and scarf. He was just about to go to the bicycle shed when he received a WeChat message from Xi Duan.

Since the development of the new drug, he has been constantly moving between the laboratory and home. He had no extra leisure time. In addition, Xi Duan’s work in Shan Quan County was at a critical place. The two are too busy to meet each other. They could only video chat each other for a few minutes at night before going to bed.

They really missed each other a lot.

Duan Shu Tong put his phone back into his pocket. With a smile on his face, he left the bicycle shed and walked directly to the door. There he saw a black car parked by the side of the road and walked over with a smile.

He opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

“Why are you free today?” Duan Shu Tong asked the man in the driver’s seat.

Xi Duan very naturally took Duan Shu Tong’s hand in his and covered it up to warm it up. He said, “I missed you.”

Duan Shu Tong chuckled. After two months it seemed like Xi Duan’s sweet talking abilities have improved.

Xi Duan grabbed the young man’s other hand and covered it. “Cen Ning and the others are making hot pot. Let’s eat together later?”

“I think there’s something else you want to tell me, right?” Duan Shu Tong said with a smile.

Xi Duan’s expression was one of reluctance, “I had planned to stay here for the first half of the year, but now that the project is over ahead of schedule, I might have to go back to Yan City.”

They came to Shan Quan County in June, and it was now the beginning of December. It has been almost half a year indeed.

The Xi family had such a big business in Yan City, it was impossible not to go back there.

Duan Shu Tong has been busy with experiments all this time that he nearly forgot about it. Duan Shu Tong was quiet for a time and then he asked, “When are you leaving?”

Xi Duan pursed his lips slightly, “In just a few days.”

Chapter 134 – I Can’t Make Him Cry Like That 

Ji He was stunned for a moment. When he realized the potential meaning of this sentence, his breathing suddenly became rapid and his vision filled with red.

“Imperial Father.” Ji Tongguang spoke up.

“Son,” Ji Yuan sighed. His exhaustion was evident in an instant. “After all, you are also a citizen of the great An Dynasty, and right now we are facing a national crisis…”

“Imperial Father!” Ji Tongguang was so agitated that he stood up.

“Ji Tongguang!” Ji Yuan’s face turned serious. “You interrupted me time and time again. Do you still have any respect for your elders?”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Ji Tongguang replied, “I think this method is inappropriate.”

Ji Yuan said with a sullen face, “Leave.”

“Imperial Father, you know this is obviously wrong!”

“What do you know?” Ji Yuan’s face darkened again. “I said leave!”

Ji Tongguang knelt on the floor with burning eyes. “It is inhumane to put your loved ones in danger, and it is unrighteous to deceive others. What you have done is disloyal and unrighteous.”

“He is my son!” Ji Yuan was furious. He stood up. “As a prince of the great An Dynasty, when the country is in danger, how can he not get involved?”

“You still remember that he is a prince?” Ji Tongguang raised his head. His expression carried a hint of ridicule. “In the past, when you sent him out of the country to become a hostage prince, why did you not remember that he is your son?”

Ji Yuan, “Back then, the circumstances forced my hand.”

Ji Tongguang sneered and retorted, “So you want to say that you’re also being forced right now?”

“Ji Siyuan,” Ji Yuan shouted, “Read the military report to him!”

Ji Siyuan stood up and read the military report without any expression on his face.

With every sentence reported, Ji Tongguang’s heart cooled another degree.

With the excuse of sending a bridal sedan chair to fetch the bride, the Dongwu Kingdom has already annexed two cities. Secured in their power, the Dongwu Kingdom was already pressing against the borders of the An Kingdom with the main forces of their army. They were acting like they were ready to take down the An Kingdom with a single order.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Ji Yuan’s voice was also full of exhaustion. “He is my son after all, if there is another solution do you think I would let him take such a risk? In your heart, am I such a bad sovereign?”

Ji Tongguang’s face was painfully hot. He kept accusing his imperial father of being heartless and unjust, but he couldn’t think of any solution himself.

Ji Yuan said: “What’s more, Ji Yao’s death was not an accident.”

Ji Tongguang suddenly raised his head.

Ji Yuan continued, “Ji Yao was murdered. This is a trap set by Jiang Zhe. The courtship is just an excuse. His real goal is to have a sufficient reason to send troops.

Ji Tongguang was astonished, but there was still something that he did not understand. “But even if Ji He looks like Ji Yao, when the time comes, he will be exposed!”

Ji Yuan paused for a while, and then said slowly: “I have my own plans.”

Ji He didn’t say a single word this entire time, but he kept stroking the scar on the side of his thumb. He used to have a sixth finger there. The finger was cut off on the very day he was born, but he could still felt a dull pain.

They were talking about his future, but he did not have any say in it at all.

His fate was never in his hands.

After the meal, Ji Yuan kept Ji Mingwu behind and dismissed everyone else.

In the dim candlelight, half of Ji Yuan’s face was hidden in the shadows, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotion: “You will accompany Ji He to Dongwu Kingdom. After you enter their borders, find an opportunity… and kill him.”

Ji Mingwu raised his head. He wore an expression of shock, but there was also a trace of excitement in his face. “Understood!”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

The camera cut to a different angle and the audience can see Ji He leaning against the door. His eyes were wide with shock, but that bewilderment gradually faded away, leaving behind only icy coldness.

“Cut!”

Qiu Jin was still carrying the emotions from the scene. While he was acting, he held it in and didn’t cry. Right now, he was still high on emotions from the scene. Upon releasing the tension in his body, the tears came pouring out without his bidding.

This was the first time that Ji Shenxiao saw Qiu Jin at work, and his eyes were glued to him practically the entire time. Seeing Qiu Jin cry, he subconsciously wanted to go to his side to protect him and coax the tears away.

But just as he took a single step forward, he stopped. No, he shouldn’t be so impulsive.

Ji Shenxiao just stood where he was and looked at Qiu Jin. He did not take another step forward.

The young man’s eyes were moist and his nose was red. His entire face was tinted pink. A light brown mole decorated the corner of his eye. He looked particularly charming.

When Qiu Jin perceived Ji Shenxiao’s gaze, he pretended to be calm and collected, and gave him a smile.

At that moment, Ji Shenxiao’s heart beat violently, but a thought in his heart became clearer and clearer – he could not make Qiu Jin cry like this.

Chapter 151.3 – Nitpicking

“Call your boss out for me. If your boss doesn’t give me an explanation for this, I’m not going to let this go!” Bao Xin Chun put her hands on her hips in a very imposing manner as if she was the victim in all of this.

Shopkeeper Liu wanted to sneer at them, but he didn’t show it on his face. “Mrs. Zhuo, people who have nothing to hide do not have to beat around the bush, so I will speak frankly, I know that you two have always held a grudge over the fact that Boss Sun sold this teahouse to the owner of the An Family Restaurant and not to you, but there is no need for you to resort to such lame tricks, right? Just now, I clearly saw you put the cockroach in the food yourself.”

His words were quite brilliant. First, he brought up the old grievances between these two and the previous owner of the restaurant, and then he told the truth of what he saw. Although there were still some people who doubted his words, there were also some people who wore an expression of sudden realization.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Bao Xin Chun was not anxious. Instead, she sneered and said, “What a joke. What proof do you have that we were the ones who put the cockroach in the food? Not to mention that you are the shopkeeper of the An Family Restaurant, of course you would say that in order to protect the restaurant. In short, if you do not give us a satisfactory answer to this matter, we will not let it go!”

Shopkeeper Liu frowned deeply. In fact, he should’ve said something as soon as he saw Zhuo Gao Ming put the cockroach in the food, but he didn’t expect the two troublemakers to move so fast. Before he could act, they already started yelling, so he really didn’t have any proof.

The waiter walked up to Shopkeeper Liu and whispered, “Shopkeeper Liu, some people already believe them. If this matter cannot be resolved, it will affect the restaurant’s reputation. How about I go and get the boss?”

“That’s the only thing we can do.”

Shopkeeper Liu nodded helplessly.

The waiter immediately turned around and ran up to the second floor.

This was the grand opening day of the restaurant. An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian sat in a private room on the second floor, but the private rooms were soundproof, so they didn’t hear what happened downstairs.

After a while, the two of them appeared at the top of the stairs.

When the customers heard the sound, they subconsciously turned around and looked towards the stairs. At a glance they saw two people with temperaments like a dragon and a phoenix, one was tanned and handsome, and one was fair and elegant. Standing together, they did not look out of sorts at all. People with temperaments like them were usually not some ordinary people.

Amidst all the people in the lobby, there was one person who showed a surprised expression when he saw the two men at the stairs.

This person was Pang Zhong.

Pang Zhong was the Minister of Ministry of Officials. He has met Fu Wu Tian before a long time ago. For an outstanding man like Fu Wu Tian, even if you’ve only met him once, you would still remember him long after.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Wan Xi Chuan seldom appeared in public, so he has never met Fu Wu Tian or An Zi Ran before, but he soon noticed something strange about his old friend.

“You know them?”

Pang Zhong nodded, “I should have realized this sooner, such sharp and majestic handwriting can only belong to him. I didn’t expect him to be the owner of this restaurant.”

When Wan Xi Chuan saw his old friend keeping him on tenterhooks, he immediately felt anxious, “Exactly who are they?”

“The youngster next to him is his wife.” Pang Zhong gave his friend a meaningful look.

Wan Xi Chuan was stumped for a moment, but then he quickly realized what his old friend was getting at. After all, who didn’t know about the God of War’s marriage? He actually dared to openly take a man as his wife. So this person must be the God of War, right?

“This…”

Wan Xi Chuan was suddenly speechless.

Pan Zong stroked his white-streaked beard and sighed, “If my guess is correct, the characters on the restaurant’s name plaque and the furniture screen must be the junwang’s calligraphy. Only he can write such characters.”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

Wan Xi Chuan didn’t speak any more, but looked thoughtfully at the two men who came down from upstairs.

Pang Zhong has been with his old friend for many years, and he could see through his mind at a glance. He said with a smile, “You can stop what you’re thinking right now. The junwang is not someone you can easily take as a disciple.”

Wan Xi Chuang sighed, “I know, that person’s ability is comparable to mine. He must have his own personal teacher, there’s no place for me, but… you’re not planning to help them out and have them owe you a favor?”

Pang Zhong smiled.

“Let’s sit back and watch first.”
