Chapter 104 – Ahhhhhh (39.1)

“Did you give the basketball to Xi Yu?”

To dilute the delicate atmosphere, Duan Shu Tong asked casually.

Xi Duan started the car and replied: “Yes.”

“How does he feel?”

“He was quite happy.” Xi Duan paused, and he couldn’t help raising the corners of his lips, “Thank you for calling attention to the matter.”

Although there was nothing special about his words, it carried a bit of intimacy.

The car drove out of the quiet villa district and merged into the bustling downtown area. Thanks to the neon lights shining into the car from outside the window, Duan Shu Tong could clearly see the gentleness on Xi Duan’s face and it felt like his heart was scalded. Some kind of emotion was bubbling up from his heart and rushing out like torrent, making him feel restless.

Was this what being in love felt like?

He was cautious and prudent, but also full of expectation.

In fact, the villa district where the rich people lived had a private theater set up, but the two of them clearly wanted to go to a crowded theater to watch a movie just like any other ordinary couple and to enjoy the feeling of intimacy between two people while being amidst a crowd.

Xi Duan parked the car in the underground garage of the mall. Then the two of them took the elevator upstairs.

During the holidays, the shopping mall was full of people, and the elevators were also packed like sardine cans. Duan Shu Tong clung to the innermost wall of the elevator, but the person next to him still bumped into him with their elbow, causing him to frown in pain.

Xi Duan turned around abruptly. He pulled Duan Shu Tong towards the corner of the elevator and turned his back towards the other passengers, protecting Duan Shu Tong within.

Duan Shu Tong stared at Xi Duan, stunned for words.

The two were so close that they could hear each other breathing. Someone bumped into Xi Duan, causing him to lean forward and the tip of his nose pressed against the young man’s eyebrows.

Duan Shu Tong could feel Xi Duan’s soft and warm breathing on the bridge of his nose. He was so startled that he forgot to breathe.

With a ding the elevator door opened, and the passengers left in an orderly manner. Duan Shu Tong was the first one to react. He stretched out a hand to give Xi Duan a nudge.

Xi Duan lowered his eyes and walked out of the elevator with Duan Shu Tong.

Duan Shu Tong glanced at Xi Duan from the corner of his eyes and found that the other man’s ears were red. The sight secretly amused him. The embarrassment that he was just feeling gradually dissipated.

There was nothing to be ashamed of when it was a loser vs. loser* situation.

[*T/N: loser vs. loser – an Internet term that refers to the fact that the combat effectiveness of both sides is very poor, but they still fight back and forth in an exceptionally fierce manner]

When they found the movie theater, the two of them went up to the counter to purchase tickets, only to be told that all the movie tickets for the day were sold out, including the midnight showing.

Duan Shu Tong: “…”

It was his fault. He was so excited for this outing that he did not think to buy tickets in advance online.

Seeing him disappointed, Xi Duan couldn’t bear it. “Let’s go to another one.”

“No need.” Duan Shu Tong shook his head. “Let’s go back down first.”

Watching a movie was just an excuse to spend time alone with Xi Duan. They couldn’t watch a movie together, but it was enough for him to just be with Xi Duan.

Like fools, the two returned to the underground parking lot.

After they got into the car, Xi Duan asked: “Where do we go now?”

The lights in the underground parking lot were a little dim, and there was no one else around. Xi Duan’s voice rang within the confines of the car. The deepness of it made Duan Shu Tong flustered.

“Let me think about it first.” Duan Shu Tong replied with his head down.

“Okay.”

The surroundings began to become silent again. Duan Shu Tong crossed his hands together on his legs, unconsciously twisting them together. His heart was beating a little fast. It was as if someone was beating a drum in his ear. Thump, thump, thump. Again and again. It was so annoying as if it was urging him to do something fast.

After struggling between reason and emotion, Duan Shu Tong finally calmed down and said sullenly, “Let’s go back.”

Xi Duan gave an obedient “en” sound.

He understood the young man’s situation and worries. He was willing to wait as long as it took.

Xi Duan was willing to face all difficulties with Duan Shu Tong.

They did not talk during the entire ride back. When the car arrived at the villa district, Duan Shu Tong suddenly asked, “When are you going back to Shan Quan County?”

Xi Duan parked the car on the side of the road, and then turned to look at him, “When is it convenient for you?”

Just as Duan Shu Tong was about to answer, his WeChat rang. Someone was asking to video chat with him.

He picked it up and saw that it was Han Ling. He didn’t think too much about it and pressed the answer button.

Han Ling’s face appeared on the phone screen with a mournful expression, “Director Duan, I’m homeless now, please take me in!”

Chapter 106 – Imperial Concubine

With Zhang Chun Wei seemingly on the mend, Madam Zhang began to worry about her daughter’s marriage. In her heart, Madam Zhang wanted to find a family for her daughter to marry into as soon as possible. She was clear about the state of her daughter’s health. She wanted to hide the truth while finding someone for her daughter to marry. Madam Zhang felt very helpless and frustrated.

In the Xuan Yuan Dynasy, women who died unmarried were not eligible to be buried in the Zhang family’s ancestral tomb. But if the woman got engaged then she would be considered a part of her future husband’s family. That way, even if her daughter died she would not end up as a lonely ghost and she would have a place to return to.

At first, everything was going well. Her daughter gradually got better due to the folk doctor’s treatment. Everyone in the capital also learned that Miss Zhang’s health was much better than before and that she was now old enough to get married, so matchmakers arrived at her door one after another.

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

While Madam Zhang was busy entertaining these matchmakers, she received a summons from the empress. She never thought that her daughter would catch a cold upon returning from the palace and remain ill for so long. The doctor even said that her daughter would not survive to see the upcoming spring. Both Madam Zhang and Assistant Minister of Rites Zhang felt that this development was too sudden, and they were unable to accept reality…

But what Madam Zhang and Assistant Minister of Rites Zhang didn’t know was that the folk doctor they hired was actually mediocre. Zhang Chun Wei’s health was already like an arrow at the end of its flight and the folk doctor had been using some really strong medicine to maintain the appearance of good health. Therefore, a small cold was enough to cause her to collapse to such a state.

Right at that moment, a servant came in to announce, “Master, Madam, Imperial Physician Qian from the imperial hospital is here.”

Assistant Minister of Rites Zhang and Madam Zhang were both very surprised. They had not asked for an imperial physician to come to their home.

Assistant Minister of Rites Zhang suddenly recalled that there were only two imperial physicians surnamed Qian in the imperial hospital, and one of them was the head imperial physician, so it was impossible for him to come in person. The other Physician Qian was the head imperial physician’s son. This younger Physician Qian was now a confidant by the crown prince’s side.

Imperial Physical Qian took Zhang Chun Wei’s pulse and found that her pulse was very chaotic. He took a look at the prescription that she was using before. Then he carefully wrote up a new prescription for her. Madam Zhang ordered the servants to make the tonic immediately.

After that, Qian Chun Rong talked with Assistant Minister of Rites Zhang and Madam Zhang in secret for a long time. In the end, Madam Zhang finally revealed a smile. The things that she had been worrying about for her daughter all along were resolved. Regardless of the crown prince’s motives, the Zhang family was very grateful to His Royal Highness.

In Ping Le Courtyard, Lin Jia Bao looked through the ledgers very carefully. It was almost the end of the year. Qiu-momo gave Lin-cejun all the ledgers documenting Ping Le Courtyard’s spending for the year so that he could inspect and verify them. Lin Jia Bao went through the accounts very seriously. Over the past year, he has learned a lot of useful skills from Qiu-momo, which have all benefited him a lot.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng stayed by Lin Jia Bao’s side and did not interfere. He watched his darling and Qiu-momo talk about the palace affairs in Ping Le Courtyard, and saw that everything his darling said was clear and orderly, and he also handled everything very properly.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng knew that his darling put in a lot of thought and effort into managing palace affairs. He was very pleased with his darling’s growth, but at the same time he felt very distressed for his darling because he had to do so much work. He had witnessed all the efforts that Lin Jia Bao had made for him. How could he not want to hold such a treasure in the palm of his hands and cherish him?

In the evening when Xuan Yuan Han Cheng and Lin Jia Bao were lying in bed together, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng told Lin Jia Bao that he would also be going along on the inspection tour of Jiang Province the following year.

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

“Really? I can go with you?” Lin Jia Bao was very happy. He grew up in Lin jia Village and then he was sent into the palace. He has never been to other places before. He looked forward to traveling with the crown prince next year.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng then went on to talk about the talent selection in March the following year. He told his darling about his plans for the talent selection without hesitation. He divulged that Zhang Chun Wei was dying soon, so he was going to accept her as his imperial concubine…

Lin Jia Bao thought back to his one meeting with the young miss of the Zhang family. He could only remember her slender figure and fairy-like face.

“Miss Zhang, she really can’t be cured? That’s so pitiful. She’s so beautiful. Just like a fairy…”

“I’ve already sent Imperial Physician Qian to check up on her. He will do his best to treat her.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng put his arms around Lin Jia Bao, “Baby, don’t be sad…”

“So darling, you must always stay healthy…” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng said. “Starting tomorrow, this husband will teach you wuqinxi*. You have to learn it well and you have to practice it for some time each day. It will be good for your health…”

[*T/N: 五禽戏 wuqinxi – a traditional fitness method, similar to taichi. It is said to imitate the movements of five kinds of animals. It is also one of the most popular and longest-running fitness methods in China, dating back 1800 years.]

“I understand. I will study hard.” Lin Jia Bao took the initiative to wrap his arms around Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s waist. “Husband must also stay healthy. Don’t work too hard. Husband must always be with Jia Bao…”

Upon hearing his darling’s words, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s heart filled with passion. He kissed Jia Bao hard on the lips. It was time for evening benefits…

After Rebirth the Tragic Omega Wins 38

Chapter 38 – Want to Hold Hands

The omega school expelled her because she lost her virginity. By losing her virginity, it meant that she had lost all her value as an omega. No aristocratic alpha would take her as a wife now. What awaited her was the fate of wandering about destitute in the lower middle class or becoming the wife of a nouveau riche beta.

Her classmates began to avoid her because she was a morally unrestrained omega who went to a bar alone. How could they still interact with her as proper and honorable omegas?

All the major news media kept using her as an example over and over again, telling the omegas not to go out alone or go to dangerous places alone. They even put all the blame for the incident on her.

In the end, the girl was overwhelmed and jumped from the Capital Tower.

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

After receiving a farewell call from her, An Ji rushed over to her location without rest. But he was still a step too late. What greeted him was only a broken corpse on the ground. ​

There were people gossiping and pointing fingers at the scene. Under these judgmental gazes, An Ji gathered up the corpse, cleaned it, put it back together, and cremated it.

A few days later, An Ji scattered the ashes at a beach in accordance with the girl’s last words. When the last trace of ash fell from his palm, it was at this time that An Ji decided not to endure the injustice anymore.

He couldn’t let this happen again, even if the victim was the archenemy he was wary of.

“Can we talk?” An Ji stood at the end of the bed and lowered his voice.

An Ning was still staring at the ceiling, with no focus in his pupils. ​

Xu Jing’an raised her head when she heard his voice and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

The other two omegas also stared at him warily, “What are you doing here?”

An Ji said, “I’d like to know if there’s anything I can do to help.”

“What can you help-”

The two omegas seemed to want to say something more, but Xu Jing’an raised her hand to stop them.

Xu Jing’an warned, “His mood has only just stabilized, so don’t ask any stimulating questions.”

An Ji nodded and walked forward to An Ning’s bed. However, before he could speak, the sluggish An Ning suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream after seeing his face clearly. It was as harsh as a hundred fingernails scratching across a blackboard. ​

“Ahhhhhhhhh—!!”

“An Ning!” An Ji stepped forward to restrain him. “I am An Ji…”

“Don’t come over, don’t come over!” An Ning screamed and back away.

Xu Jing’an wanted to step forward to comfort An Ning, and the two omegas wanted to pull An Ji away. An Yanming wanted to step forward to help but was afraid his alpha status would make things worse, so he hesitated. The scene suddenly became chaotic and uncontrollable.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you not to irritate the patient?” The nurse rushed in immediately, “Help me hold him down and give him a sedative!”

After a while of fussing around, An Ning finally calmed down and fell into a drowsy state. ​

Outside the corridor, Xu Jing’an stood in front of An Ji, her dignified and bright face stained with guilt and sadness. She said, “I’m sorry, in An Ning’s current state it might not be suitable for you two to see each other.”

“It’s okay, I understand,” An Ji nodded, “I’ll come back later.”

Xu Jing’an asked, “It’s it something important?”

An Ji looked at her in surprise and said nothing. ​

“I just think it’s better not to irritate An Ning now.” Xu Jing’an noticed the defensiveness in An Ji’s eyes and quickly changed her wording. “After all, he almost committed suicide after encountering this kind of thing. If you have any questions you must ask him, I can help you ask them.”

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

An Ji was silent for a moment, then asked: “Have the police been here?”

“They have,” Xu Jing’an nodded. “But when they came, An Ning was in a really bad state and couldn’t accept questioning. They just took some physical evidence as date.”

An Ji asked, “Did they find any residual evidence in his vagina?”

Xu Jing’an was a little surprised by such a straightforward question. She was stunned for a bit before shaking her head. “No, An Ning was unwilling to be examined there.”

“Unwilling?” An Ji’s tone changed, “Doesn’t he want to catch the person who harmed him?”

Chapter 127 – Caught Red-Handed in the Bed

At first, the eating melon* group didn’t pay much attention to Qiu Jin’s reveal. They just thought that he was joking, and they all said that he was humorous.

[*T/N: eating melon – it means you’re there to watch a situation for entertainment or drama]

It wasn’t until Qiu Jin’s agency account reposted this Weibo that people realized that this situation might not be a spoof.

Did Qiu Jin really differentiate into an omega? When did it happen?

But isn’t he an alpha? How could an alpha become an omega?

If this was the truth, then was this the reason why he no longer liked Xiang Xi?

That’s right. He’s been pursuing Xiang Xi for so long, so why would he suddenly give up just like that? Someone like him, how could he give up just because Xiang Xi scolded him?

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

Therefore, the reason must be because he changed from an alpha into an omega!

While in the process of pursuing someone, he suddenly realized that he could only ever be friends that person, my god, what kind of heart-wrenching story line was this?!

However, this was not the worst of it.

Some netizens also noticed that in the “Four Seasons Food” variety show, Xiang Xi was no longer as repulsed by Qiu Jin as he was before. He even revealed a faint fondness for Qiu Jin.

And not long ago at Jiang Feihong’s birthday party, Xiang even took the initiative to talk to Qiu Jin, but Qiu Jin was indifferent towards him.

Furthermore, some people in the show business made explosive allegations, saying that during the launch conference of “Rise and Fall of the World,” Xiang Xi repeatedly show goodwill towards Qiu Jin, but the latter just avoided the former.

What did this mean?

This meant that Xiang Xi was gradually becoming attracted to Qiu Jin, but unexpectedly now it was Qiu Jin who avoided Xiang Xi.

Heavens, reality was too cruel!

Before you didn’t care about me at all, but now I can no longer love you.

QAQ

Netizens expressed their distress over this situation. Thereupon, another topic of conversation quietly picked up.

#Qiu Jin changed from an alpha into an omega

#I feel bad for Xiang Xi

Xiang Xi: ???

Are you people crazy? I don’t need you to feel bad for me!!!

He already felt bad for himself, okay?!

Qiu Jin went back to sleep, completely ignorant of the waves happening on the Internet.

Liu Wei went out to buy medicine and haven’t had time to check his phone, so he didn’t know what was happening on the Internet. But when he returned to the hotel he found that the crew members were looking at him a little strangely.

Someone came over and asked, “Qiu Jin, he really… you know, that?”

“You already found out?” Liu Wei was surprised. He didn’t expect these people to be so ardent. He smiled and waved his hands, “It’s not that serious. He’ll be back to full health after taking some medicine.”

Staff member: ???

Take medicine? Full health?

Was being an omega not healthy?!

Could it be that Qiu Jin didn’t want to be an omega and wanted to rely on drugs?

My god, why would you do this?

Could it be that he still had feelings for Xiang Xi?

Yes, absolutely, that must be the reasoning!

After all, he has liked Xiang Xi for so long and now Xiang Xi was finally taking the initiative to express his goodwill.

But this kind of situation was too cruel. Things like getting a sex change…

As a result, a small group of netizens online tried to post comforting comments:

#Qiu Jin differentiated into an omega, but he is still so alpha

#When two omegas get together, one must be on top

Liu Wei had no idea what a poignant love story he had created with this unintentional action.

Liu Wei went upstairs with the cold medicine in his hands. In the corridor, he bumped into an unexpected person.

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

There was a man dressed in a suit. He stood by the door. His aura was graceful and elegant. He wore a gentle smile on his face. When his eyes fell upon his face, it was as if he was looking at some sort of treasure.

Liu Wei couldn’t handle such a direct and heavy gaze. He immediately stammered, “J- Jiang-laoshi!”

Jiang Ming held up the script in his hand and smiled gently. “I was hoping to practice lines with Qiu Jin.”

Liu Wei answered, “Ah, so sorry. Qiu-ge has a cold.”

Only then did Jiang Ming notice the medicine in his hands. He reached over to take it. “Then I’ll help you bring it inside.”

“Uh…” Liu Wei hesitated a little. He might not be very good at talking, but when it came to carrying out tasks he was still very reliable. Even if it was a big name actor like Jiang Ming, he didn’t dare to let him inside the room so casually.

Jiang Ming didn’t insist. He quickly withdrew his hand and said, “Ah, you’re right, I was being too presumptuous. Then I’ll go inside with you.”

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. “Sorry for the inconvenience, Jiang-laoshi.”

Chapter 148.2 – Meeting

On the other side, Fu Yi came to the agreed upon restaurant. The restaurant was not opened by the Zhuo family, but by a businessman who had business dealings with Fu Yi. Knowing that Fu Yi wanted to discuss business with the head of the Zheng family, that businessman had specially arranged a quiet room for them where they would not be disturbed.

Zheng Jun Qi arrived early. This business deal with Prince Fu’s Mansion would be the only chance for the Zheng family to make a comeback, so it must be treated with caution.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun Qi could not help but look down at the pink clothes on her body, and then she touched her face. Normally, she did not put on makeup, but today there was some powder on her face. She was somewhat exasperated. Her mother found out that she was going to discuss business with someone from Prince Fu’s Mansion and that the other party was still unmarried, so she made Zheng Jun Qi dress up nicely despite her wishes.

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

Zheng Jun Qi really wanted to disregard her image and just roll her eyes. It’s not like she was going on a blind date.

Not long after, Fu Yi finally arrived.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries with each other, and then got straight to the point. It did not look like the lovey-dovey image that Mother Zheng had imagined at all.

“Mr. Fu, can I ask you something?”

Fu Yi nodded. “Please speak.”

Zheng Jun Qi gathered herself and then asked, “Why did you seek out my Zheng family?” She knew very well that the Zheng family did not have any benefits worth targeting. Naturally, there was also nothing to attract the other party to do business with them, so she’s been puzzled all this time.

At the gathering three days ago, Fu Yi had answered this question, but she did not take it as a serious answer, because she could tell that the real answer must not be said during that occasion.

Fu Yi knew that she was a smart woman, so it was no surprise that she was able to guess this point, and he also liked dealing with straightforward people.

“The reason is simple. I need a lot of textile machines, but I want others to think that the number is lower than it actually is.”

Zheng Jun Qi understood instantly.

And she finally knew why the other party had approached her.

This kind of behavior could also be considered a type of commercial competition tactic. They wanted to fool other people and prevent them from knowing the depths of their plans. Then when the moment came, they could catch the others by surprise.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

As for what Fu Yi planned to do after he got the textile machines, this was not something that she needed to inquire about. Hearing Fu Yi’s response made Zheng Jun Qi feel relieved. It was good that there was a reason. If the other party approached her out of the blue, then she would be very concerned.

Zheng Jun Qi then asked: “How many textile machines does Mr. Fu want?”

The Zheng family’s workshop was not large. At most it could be considered a medium-sized workshop, and they only had about a hundred workers. If he asked for too many, she was worried that they would not be able to complete the order in time.

Fu Yi replied, “I need at least one hundred textile machines.”

Textile machine was a collective term for spinning wheels and weaving machines, but they were two separate things. So when he said one hundred, it could mean one hundred spinning wheels and one hundred weaving machines. This was a much bigger order than the one the Zhuo family had given the Zheng family.

Zheng Jun Qi frowned and said in embarrassed, “Mr. Fu, with the scale of the Zheng workshop, I am afraid that this amount cannot be made in a short time.”

“Miss Zheng doesn’t have to worry about this problem. The textile machines that I want do not need to be produced immediately. I think three or four months should be enough time.” Fu Yi said.

Zheng Jun Qi was overjoyed and relieved at the same time.

Three or four months were indeed enough time. At first, she thought that Fu Yi had wanted her to make them within a month or two. With such a tight schedule, even if all her workers worked overtime and overnight it would not be enough.

After, Fu Yi proposed going to the Zheng workshop for a tour and Zheng Jun Qi gladly agreed.

After three years of hard work, the Zheng workshop was at a much better place than it was at the beginning. They could not compete with others in terms of quantity, so she required that their products must pass the quality test and even be better than other workshops’ quality. So all of their customers were basically repeat customers.

After touring the place, Fu Yi was very satisfied.

What he needed was precisely a quality workshop. So he signed a contract with Zheng Jun Qi that very same day.

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

There were a total of two contracts; one was for more than a hundred textile machines while the other one was for approximately thirty textile machines. The smaller order was used to deceive outsiders, but the machines would still be put to good use. They were going to replace the old machines in Fu Yi’s clothing workshop. The money for this order came from An Zi Ran’s pockets and was considered a reward for Fu Yi’s help.

While the textile machines were being mass-produced, over at Chang Province construction had already started.

On the way back from Ali Xiang, Fu Wu Tian had sent Guan Su and Shao Fei directly to Chang Province, so they have not been seen during this time.

Zhong Yue did not go with them. Rather, she was with Ge Qian An all this time. After Fu Yuan Fan left, the gambling house and other properties were handed over to her and Ge Qian An. An Ziran only had to read the account books at the end of each month.

Chapter 163

The gushing blood washed away the medicinal powder. The physician’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly fetched more cloth and pressed down desperately on the wound, using all his strength.

As soon as the cloth touched the wound it became soaked through with blood. The physician repeated this again and again. After several rounds the clear water in the basin beside the bed turned completely red. The bleeding from the wound finally stopped after great difficulty. Then the physician applied the best vulnerary from the army onto the wound with great care.

Song Rong’s body was rigid and tense throughout the entire process. Finally, his stiff arms relaxed somewhat, but he kept holding the body within his arms. He watched as the physician took care of the major injury and then went on to dress the smaller wounds.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

The inner garment has been completely soaked through in blood and could no longer be salvaged. The expensive and exquisite fabric was carefully cut away from the body. Song Rong raised his arm slightly, trying to remove the bloodied clothes for Lu Li, but suddenly a fold of bright yellow fabric fell out from the bloodstained lapel.

Song Rong’s brows subconsciously furrowed. He pulled out the bright yellow cloth and unfolded it. The light in his eyes abruptly dimmed.

It was the emperor’s decree to punish Lu Li.

He was also present when the edict was issued. Song Zhilan stood proudly with a sword in his hand. He looked at the prime minister of the right, who was restrained on the floor, and read the edict out himself.

[T/N: Usually a eunuch reads out the emperor’s edict]

Every word was filled with hatred that almost oozed with blood. The young emperor undoubtedly hated Lu Li to the bones.

But he really could not figure out what was going on in Lu Li’s head. The prime minister had fallen into this desolate situation, yet he kept this edict that condemned him and even carried it around with him…

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

Before he could puzzle through this, a hand gripped his wrist firmly.

The hand was cold and the fingertips trembled lightly, but it still held his wrist with a tight grip. Song Rong was stunned. He instinctively lowered his gaze and looked into Lu Li’s eyes, which were clear like cold springs.

“Give it back to me. This is nothing something that you should hold.”

Lu Li’s voice carried the hoarseness and feebleness of someone who had just woken up, but his tone already held a strong coldness that dared anyone to refute him.

Song Rong’s heart trembled suddenly. Feelings of joy and sorrow intertwined so strongly that he could not hold back his emotions. His hand trembled, but he held the imperial decree even tighter. His voice became hoarse.

“Right Prime Minister… you really want to die?”

It was his first time treating Lu Li with such a blunt attitude. It was straightforward to the point of near rudeness, and he regretted it as soon as those words left his mouth. But when he saw the startled look in Lu Li’s eyes, the little bit of ineffable anger in his heart sputtered out.

It was he who had heeded the emperor’s orders to rush back thousands of miles to the capital. It was thanks to his aide that the emperor was able to completely defeat his opponent.

They were the ones who drove Lu Li to his death. But when Lu Li just wanted to die, they instead asked him why he did not have the desire to live.

His chest was already full of remorse. Song Rong carefully helped Lu Li lie on the soft pillow, and then stepped back. His voice was light and bitter.

“If I tell you that I received the imperial edict and came back to aide the emperor without knowing that it would cut off all escape routes for you… would you be willing to believe me?”

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

Lu Li remained silent. His handsome brows arched slightly. His clear gaze fell upon Song Rong. His eyes did not hold anger or joy, only a faint bit of misgiving.

Looking at that indifferent and cold gaze, Song Rong’s breathing stuttered and the light in his eyes finally dimmed.

This man really didn’t care anymore.

Since he was already set on the road of death, then what did it matter who held the blade?

Song Rong lowered his gaze. He gripped the imperial edict even tighter, wishing that he could crush the order on the edict to dust.

“Right Prime Minister, rest well, at least for tonight…”

Unwilling to meet the other man’s gaze again, Song Rong put one knee on the ground and partially knelt down beside Lu Li. He placed the vulnerary in Lu Li’s pale and slender fingers. Then he carefully tucked a strand of loose hair behind the man’s ear.

“At least for tonight, Right Prime Minister can sleep soundly and take a rest, okay?”

After he finished speaking, he got up decisively and hurried out of the room.

Chapter 103 – Upon the Moon and Willow Shoots

Over the past few months, Duan Sheng Ye has been paying attention to the Spring and Autumn Hall’s progress. Since his son made achievements in pharmaceuticals, then he’ll stop pushing for his son to become a manager or something like that.

Duan Sheng Ye was secretly very proud. Both his daughter and his son were so talented and capable. His peers often spoke to him in an envious tone when they talked about their children. His children was nothing like the troublesome children of Yalan and the Li family.

Thinking of these two, Duan Sheng Ye suddenly said solemnly: “You must not be like that kid from Yalan, or that kid from the Li family, or else your ancestors would be rolling over in their graves.”

Duan Shu Tong knew about the incident with Xu Ya Ze, but what happened with Li Xiao?

“What happened to Li Xiao?” Duan Shu Tong asked in surprise.

Dong Han Yue explained to him: “He had a falling out with the Lin family over a girl. The Lin family’s son avenged his younger sister. He drove the company that Li Xiao was managing to bankruptcy. The Li family was also affected by it. It looks like the Lin family and Li family are going to start a feud.”

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

“Bankrupt?” Duan Shu Tong was even more shocked upon hearing the news. He didn’t know about this at all. Moreover, Li Xiao was one of the male leads, so how could he go bankrupt so easily?

He thought about it carefully and finally figured out why.

In the original book, Li Xiao really didn’t have the confidence to compete with the Lin family at first, so he never broke the engagement. During the few years when Pei Ruo Wei ran away with her child, he worked hard and devoted all his attention to his work. He slowly gained control of the Li family and expanded their business and strength. Because of that, he became a domineering CEO upon reuniting with the female lead.

But right now Li Xiao was still too inexperience, so Lin Huan was able to suppressed him to this degree.

Dong Han Yue continued: “But this kid is still considered a tough one. After going bankrupt, he immediately resigned and left the Li family. I heard that he went to Hai City and is working alone. It’s quite hard to make a living alone outside.”

Duan Shu Tong nodded. Sure enough, only going through hardships could he grow as a person.

He gratefully accepted his family’s good intentions. Holding the ownership documents to the Spring and Autumn Hall, he returned to his bedroom. He lay down on the bed and pondered.

The words that he said to Xi Duan when they parted ways were not just a joke. It was because he was serious about this that he was in a dilemma.

How should he broach the topic that he was homosexual to his family? If he just wanted to have an affair with Xi Duan, then he would not be so troubled right now.

Just as he buried his head in a pillow, his WeChat notification alarm sounded.

Xi Duan: The moon is very round.

The corners of Duan Shu Tong’s lips couldn’t help rising. He got out of bed, went over to the window, and pulled open the window curtains. The moon was indeed hanging bright and round up in the sky.

Upon the moon and willow shoots, a meeting after dusk.*

[*T/N: A very rough translation from the lines of a poem. This line of poetry paints a hazy, quiet, and artistic image of two people meeting after dusk. The moon and willow shoots are their witnesses of love.]

He suddenly understood through his own experience the romance and emotions of this line of poetry. His heart was filled to the brim with delight. It wanted to rush out like a wave and break the fetters on his person.

With trembling fingertips, he typed a reply: Do you watch movies?

Xi Duan: I’ll come pick you up.

Duan Shu Tong immediately put down his phone, changed into a new set of clothes, and ran downstairs.

When Dong Han Yue saw him in the living room, she asked worriedly, “Going out to play at night?” She still remembered the days when her son would change girlfriends frequently and she was worried that he would return to his old ways.

Duan Shu Tong said hesitantly, “I’m going out with Xi Duan.”

“Then go. Don’t make him wait too long. Come back early.” Dong Han Yue immediately changed her attitude.

With a guilty conscience, Duan Shu Tong left the villa district and walked out to the expansive main street. Standing off to one side of the crossroad, he sent Xi Duan a WeChat message: I’m on the roadside outside the villa district.

Soon, a familiar car slowly drove over.

The car stopped next to Duan Shu Tong. Xi Duan’s handsome face could be seen through the car window, and the man’s eyes were brimming with warmth.

Duan Shu Tong’s heart skipped half a beat and he absent-mindedly got into the car.

He glanced over at Xi Duan. At first he didn’t notice, but after thinking about it, he realized that Xi Duan had also changed his clothes.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then laughed at the same time.

Their hearts were aligned. Both of them changed their clothes for this meeting.

It was such an insignificant thing, but it was also so heartwarming.

Chapter 105 – Imperial Concubine

“Erchen does not like Yao Yu Lan. She’s been called the most talented lady in the capital since a young age, but there is no shortage of talented ladies in the capital. Which lady from a big family with background is not brimming with talent? But why are there only rumors of her being the number one talented lady when she has only just reached marriageable age? So it can be seen that this girl is very ambitious. Erchen has Jia Bao by his side. After the incident with Xu Xue Ying, erchen does not want to put such a woman in the East Palace’s harem.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng categorically stated his dislike for Yao Yu Lan.

“As for Zhang Chun Wei’s health, Imperial Mother does not have to worry. Erchen has Imperial Physician Qian, who has superb medical skills. He can take care of her overall health. It should be fine by the talent selection next March. As for Wen Wen Qian, she is a good one. It’s better to leave her for my younger brother and have her be his main wife. Wen Wen Qian is older then my younger brother by one year, and her calm temperament is just right for my brother’s impatient one.”

The empress also felt that the crown prince’s words were very reasonable. The empress was also very pleased that her two biological sons were friendly and respectful towards each other. Moreover, the crown prince was always looking out for the second prince. The empress felt very gratified. She also agreed with the crown prince’s proposal. Also, the crown prince brought up Jia Bao again. Thinking about Jia Bao’s temperament, the empress also had considerations.

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

“Then, let’s have Imperial Physician Qian go take a look at Miss Zhang first. As for the rest, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there. There might still be a lot of good ladies from aristocratic families in the upcoming talent selection…”

On the way back to Ping Le Courtyard, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng ordered Yuan Fu: “Have Qian Chun Rong come to the inner study to see me.”

As ordered, Qian Chun Rong soon arrived at the crown prince’s inner study. After two years, he has now become the confidant imperial physical for the crown prince. “What are your orders, Your Royal Highness?”

“Go take a look at the daughter of the Assistant Minister of Rites, Zhang Chun Wei. Find out the condition of her body. I must know the exact information as soon as possible.”

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng only remembered that Zhang Chun Wei died of illness in the coming year, which was the eighth year of Yun Tai. But he could not recall the exact time and date. He didn’t know if she could survive until the talent selection process.

“Understood.” Qian Chun Rong immediately went to investigate.

After Qian Chun Rong made many inquiries, he reported the results of his investigation to the crown prince: “That Miss Zhang’s physical condition is very poor. Her pulse record only shows that she is weak and needs to rest. But judging from the medicine prescribed by the doctor, her body is being maintained by very strong medicine. It seems that the internal organs of this Zhang Chun Wei have already begun to fail…”

“If you are the one to diagnose and treat Zhang Chun Wei, is there any hope for her to recover? If not, can you prolong her life as much as possible so that she can last until the end of the talent selection?” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng asked Qian Chun Rong.

“This subject cannot make any guarantees. This subject would have to first take Miss Zhang’s pulse to understand the situation. But this subject will do his utmost to heal Miss Zhang.” Qian Chun Rong said.

“Go pay a visit to the Zhang family as soon as possible…” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng whispered some things into Qian Chun Rong’s ear, and then he dismissed him.

The Assistant Minister of Rite, Zhang Ting Hui’s mansion was brightly lit. Madam Zhang wiped her tears as she looked anxiously at her unconscious daughter lying on the bed. Since returning from the palace, Zhang Chun Wei caught a cold and fell ill.

Zhang Ting Hui said to his wife angrily, “Who told you to bring Chun Wei into the palace on your own? Chun Wei’s body is already like this, and you still brought her outside? Moreover, you brought her into the palace? There will be a talent selection next year. What are we going to do if the empress sets her sights on Chun Wei? Have you thought about the consequences?”

Madam Zhang faltered and said, “I didn’t think it would be good to decline the empress’s summons. Chun Wei’s health has clearly improved in the past few days. That’s why I took her outside. How could I have expected this to happen…?”

“What did Doctor Wang say?” Zhang Ting Hui asked his wife.

“Doctor Wang said that Chun Wei might not be able to last through this winter, wu wu…” Madam Zhang cried even more sadly.

Madam Zhang gave birth to three boys and one girl, and she loved her only daughter very much. However, her daughter was weak since she was a child, and suffered from both serious and minor illnesses. It really broke her heart to see her daughter like this.

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

Madam Zhang watched her daughter grow up day by day, and finally reached the age where she could be engaged. But in the past few years, they had to often invite an imperial physician from the palace to treat her, so everyone in the capital knew that the daughter of the Zhang family was weak and sickly, and no one cared to ask after Zhang Chun Wei’s future marriage.

Madam Zhang and Assistant Minister of Rites Zhang thought of a method. Since the year before, whenever their daughter got sick, they would not invite the imperial physician to treat her. To the outside world, the Zhang family declared that Zhang Chun Wei’s health was much better.

The people in the capital saw that the Zhang family had indeed stopped inviting imperial physicians to their home, so that all thought that Miss Zhang’s health had improved.

In truth, the Zhang family had secretly invited Doctor Wang, who was said to be quite talented, to treat her. That Doctor Wang was quite capable. After taking a few doses of medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang, their daughter really did see improvement.

Chapter 148.1 – Meeting

After successfully meeting with Zheng Jun Qi – the current head of the Zheng family – at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the other day, Fu Yi then made an appointment with her to discuss the textile machines.

The Zheng family was not the largest textile machine production workshop in Jun Zi City. Compared to all the big-name businessmen in the capital, the Zheng family’s workshop could only be ranked in the somewhere between the lower and middle level.

The news that Fu Yi had taken the initiative to talk to Zheng Jun Qi at the meeting that day has spread.

After hearing the news, many merchants who had a hand in the textile machine production business took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to Fu Yi. They promised to give Prince Fu’s Mansion an even greater discount, keeping their profits very low, in hopes of creating a connection with Prince Fu’s Mansion.

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

To their surprise, Fu Yi was not tempted, and he rejected them one by one. He only wanted the Zheng family to manufacture the textile machines that he needed.

Everyone witnessed this kind of abnormal reaction. Fu Yi was deliberately protecting the Zheng family.

Regarding this, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind, which was the Zheng family was finally going to make a comeback. Those who originally wanted to kick the Zheng family while they were down restrained themselves. It was important to please the Zhuo family, but to offend Prince Fu’s Mansion while doing so was just asking for death.

However, everyone was wondering when did Zheng Jun Qi form a connection with the head butler of Prince Fu’s Mansion?

Later, some people came to the conclusion that Fu Yi had yet to take a wife and Zheng Jun Qi had yet to marry. The man was handsome, while the woman was okay in looks; at the very least she was attractive when she smiled. So wasn’t this a case of a talented woman and a handsome man* made a good pair?

[*T/N: The original saying is 男才女貌, which means “a talented man and a beautiful woman [make an ideal couple].” Here the author flipped it around to “a talented woman and a handsome man” instead.]

Everyone who felt that they had touched upon the truth immediately restrained any and all leftover thoughts they had of bullying the Zheng family. If Zheng Jun Qi and the head steward of Prince Fu’s Mansion got married, then the one that they would have to curry favor with would be her and not with the Zhuo family. Therefore, she was not someone that they could easily offend.

Everyone’s guesses were far from the truth, but who could say for sure what would happen in the future?!

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Knowing that Uncle was going out to meet up with Zheng Jun Qi, An Zi Ran secretly winked at Fu Wu Tian, who immediately stood up knowingly.

“Uncle, wangfei needs a lot of textile machines. A conservative estimate is still in the hundreds, so you need to pay more attention to the quality of the machines. Why don’t you take this opportunity to have Miss Zheng take you on a tour of the Zheng workshop today?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yi took a long look at this pair of husbands. He gave a noncommittal respond and then left the mansion.

When Fu Wu Tian sat down, An Zi Ran pressed his shoulder in satisfaction.

He was already seventeen this year. He was about three or four centimeters taller than he was last year. Although he has only reached Fu Wu Tian’s shoulders, there was still a lot of room for growth in the future. He was sure that he could reach 1.8 meters in height. Then he should not be that much shorter than Fu Wu Tian.

Fu Wu Tian held his hand instead. He caressed An Zi Ran’s palm affectionately. “Wangfei, this prince has accomplished the task you gave me excellently, is there any reward?”

An Zi Ran arched an eyebrow.

Fu Wu Tian lowered his head suggestively and tapped the back of his hand.

An Zi Ran wanted to pull his hand back, but Fu Wu Tian held on to him tightly. After a moment of hesitation, Fu Wu Tian’s handsome face was already in front of him, and the tips of their noses were touching each other in an almost intimate manner. It felt like there was a small electrical current spreading throughout his body from the point of contact.

“Wangfei…”

Fu Wu Tian called to him softly. His voice was deeper than usual. It was like there were hands plucking at his heartstrings.

An Zi Ran’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He found that it was getting harder and harder for him resist Fu Wu Tian’s face and voice. Clearly, he has never cared for handsome faces or nice voices before.

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

He didn’t know if Fu Wu Tian has realized this about him, but lately the man has been deliberately looking for opportunities to get close to him. Moreover, he liked to speak in a low voice in An Zi Ran’s ear, very treacherously grasping his “weakness.” This man was simply too vile!

Fu Wu Tian was not in a hurry. He looked down at An Zi Ran and was about to call to him again. That was when he saw his wangfei suddenly lifting his head. The youth had an expression of determination on his face. He tilted his head and then kissed Fu Wu Tian on the lips. The youth’s tongue was a bit clumsy, but he still burst into Fu Wu Tian’s mouth with confidence. His kiss was similar to the way that Fu Wu Tian normally kissed: his tongue swirling and shoving everywhere inside.

Just as Fu Wu Tian was about to take back the initiative in the kiss, An Zi Ran abruptly withdrew his tongue as if he had sensed the other man’s intention.

A silver thread of saliva connected their lips for a moment before snapping in two. Half of the thread hung on An Zi Ran’s lips. It was such an alluring picture. And then, his wangfei suddenly extended his tongue to lick up the string of saliva.

Fu Wu Tian hugged An Zi Ran’s waist tightly.

An Zi Ran put both of his hands on Fu Wu Tian’s chest to stop him. He looked down at the man’s bulging tent and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. “Wangye, we still have to go out in a moment.”

Fu Wu Tian suddenly discovered that his wangfei was actually very vengeful. “I’ll have my revenge on you tonight.”

An Zi Ran did not twitch a single iota. They’d deal with the evening affairs in the evening. Besides it was not certain who would come out on top!

Chapter 162

The duration of the stimulant had reached its limit and Su Shi’s consciousness was forcefully pulled out of the world. Upon returning to the virtual space, Su Shi dragged out the hiding system.

“The skill was originally designed for the staff members. To prevent the staff members from actively turning off the skill in order to avoid the plot, once the skill is turned on, it will be active for a full twenty-four hours.”

At that time, the system was too overjoyed at their sudden wealth that it forgot to explain to the host in detail the special effects of the skill. The system felt very guilty. At this point, the system was merely locking the stable door after the horses have already bolted, but it hesitantly said, “Due to the complexity of the world, the scope of the special effect is very wide. It doesn’t just affect humans. Rather, it is for ‘anything that wants to hit you’…”

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

No wonder that cold arrow had struck him without mercy. Even if he had not turned around, that arrow would still curve around to pierce him in the back.

Su Shi’s head hurt from thinking of that unexpected mishap. “I regret it now. Can I return it?”

“The host is not a staff member, so this experience is only for twenty-four hours. There are still eighteen hours left. After that the special effect will automatically expire.”

The system hurriedly added a sentence, and continued tentatively, “If the host is satisfied, the shop also offers a cracked version specifically for users. You can choose to purchase it…”

“No need.”

Su Shi flatly declined. He made up his mind to remain unconscious for the remaining eighteen hours.

The physical body was seriously injured, so it was a toss up whether he would wake up anyway. Seeing that his HP value was in the red zone, Su Shi bought two more revival pills, and put them in his bag.

In any other world, these pills that seem like fake medicine based on the name indeed did not have any real effect, but in the setting of an ancient world they possessed the magical effect of saving lives.

His task this time was actually very simple, just [live to the enthronement ceremony and see Song Zhilan become the actual emperor of a country with his own eyes].

To complete the task, he only needed to ensure that he lived up to that day, and even on that day he would be relatively free. So Su Shi did not insist on the development of the plot, but occasionally in his spare time a vague thought would pop up in his head.

This was different from how he had to complete tasks for the sake of the plot every time. This time it seemed like the task was the actual wish of the original body.

Even if it was not for experience points, Su Shi still wanted to work hard to live until the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, so that this body could witness it all with its own eyes.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Besides, the experience points this time might not be unsalvageable. The pot nearly slipped from his hands, but he still managed to catch it by the edge.

Finally, he got to work with a protagonist that was staunch in his decision. Just by using cold words and sneering, Su Shi could lower the protagonist’s favorability. This was much better than the protagonists who chose to forgive him every time.

Su Shi recalled how fierce the young emperor looked at him and he couldn’t help but be gratified. He sighed with relief. Suddenly his vision went dark.

The buffer time has ended. His consciousness left the virtual space and returned to the physical body.

There was something warm and not super hard under his body. His shoulders, back, and arms were firmly held in place. The painkillers were gradually weakening, and there was a faint tearing pain radiating from his back.

There was a constant rush of sounds around him. Footsteps hurried back and forth. Things were being handed over. He heard the physician’s cautious voice: “Wangye, time to pull out the arrow…”

Song Rong nodded slightly. He received the slice of prepared ginseng. He carefully pushed the slice of ginseng pass the Right Minister’s cold lips and maneuvered it under his tongue.

Song Rong was used to handling swords and bows. He felt that no matter how careful he was being he was still afraid of hurting the delicate glass-like person in his arms. He held onto Lu Li’s shoulders and arms tightly, but he did not dare to use all his strength. His chest pressed down almost reverently, protecting the man’s cold and weak shoulders and neck.

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

The blood-soaked clothes had been carefully cut away. A cloth with medicinal powder was pressed around the injured area, and the blood had scabbed over. Upon arriving at the mansion, Song Rong had broken off the shaft of the arrow. But the arrow was still embedded deeply in the middle of Lu Li’s back.

On the horse ride back, Lu Li did not react in the slightest, not even to wrinkle his brows in pain. Only his faint temperature and the pulsing in his chest proved that he was still alive.

Song Rong knew that the other man most likely would not hear him and that he might not even be able to wake up again, but he couldn’t help lowering his head and speaking into Lu Li’s ear, “Bear with it for a bit…”

His arms tightened unconsciously around the other man. He had never felt like this before. How he wished to take on the other man’s injuries instead.

The hand holding the arrow shaft trembled and then clenched tightly. The physician hesitated for a moment and then finally pulled out the arrow with a jerk.

Blood gushed out in an instant, dyeing their entire field of vision red in the blink of an eye.
