Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1676: Lord Qiansui (28)
Yin Shenβs gaze swept over the crowd, finally locking onto the protruding rock on the left.
Yin Shen moved through the crowd and walked to the rock. ππ£ππ²π°πππ§π π§ππ.πππΊ
There werenβt many people around the rock, as if everyone was instinctively avoiding it.
Yin Shen approached, and the person on the rock immediately noticed.
Princess Changhuan uttered a vague word of surprise, which Yin Shen couldnβt hear clearly, but instinctively knew it wasnβt a good word.
Chuzheng heard it clearly.
She glanced at Princess Changhuan.
Unexpectedly, this young princess was quite adept at cursing, yet it was uncertain from whom she learned it.
Yin Shen stepped onto the rock.
This was a vantage point, away from the crowd, offering a perfect view.
"Princess," Yin Shen bowed, with proper etiquette, "Leaving the palace without permission, it seems the rules you learned last time werenβt enough."
Yin Shen didnβt know that Princess Changhuan had also left the palace, and now he caught two at once.
Princess Changhuan: "..."
Ghost Spirit wonβt leave!!
Just now, when she wrote curses on the Kongming Lanterns, it turned out she was right!
Yin Shen gave Princess Changhuan no chance to speak, directly instructing the people around him, "Take Princess Changhuan back to the palace."
Princess Changhuan didnβt even have time to say a word before she was taken away by Yin Shenβs men.
She was furious!
Considering Princess Changhuan had cursed about a Good Person Card earlier, Chuzheng ignored Princess Changhuanβs plea for help.
Chuzheng sat on the rock as Yin Shen looked down at her.
The Kongming Lanterns overhead cast a glow on his handsome and graceful face, yet his eyes seemed like the thick, unfathomable Black Night.
Yin Shen: "Xiao Chu, you just ran out like this, Iβm very worried."
Chuzheng mentally clicked her tongue, "Worried Iβd run away?" Iβm not like you, Iβd still return!
Yin Shen chuckled, his voice clear and gentle, "Worried someone might harm you."
Chuzheng replied coldly, "Then your worry is a bit unnecessary." Big boss wouldnβt be hurt by anyone.
Yin Shen stepped forward, sitting beside Chuzheng, "Were those Kongming Lanterns yours?"
Chuzheng: "I also released river lanterns, didnβt you see?"
River lanterns?
With so many river lanterns on the river, of course, Yin Shen saw them, but didnβt see any writing on them.
So she also released river lanterns?
Yin Shenβs heart trembled, his hand under his sleeve clenched tightly, and his throat felt dry, "Why did you write my name on the Kongming Lanterns?"
Chuzheng looked up, the myriad lights falling into her eyes, her lips parting slightly, "Who else to write? Youβre the only one I have..." a Good Person Card.
The words after were swallowed back by the Bastard.
Chuzhengβs voice seemed to have some sort of charm, continually echoing in his ears at this moment.
Yin Shen remained silent for a long time, and Chuzheng maintained her pose until her neck felt sore. She subtly adjusted her posture and gave Yin Shen a cool and noble glance.
Yin Shen happened to meet her gaze.
That look made Chuzheng shiver.
"You..."
Suddenly, Chuzheng saw his face enlarge before her.
Her body abruptly fell back, with her back pressed against the cold rock, the splendid scene of light reappearing in her sight.
The noisy sounds around faded like a tide, and the entire world seemed to quiet down, with only the floating Kongming Lanterns in the sky.
In the distance, the river lanterns gathered into a picturesque scene.
-
On the boat.
Suddenly, a few people rowed close with small boats, and after boarding, before Xu Jiaowei could ask, they informed her stiffly, "Commandery Princess, please have your boat leave this place immediately, or it will be dealt with according to the law."
"What!"
Xu Jiaoweiβs expression changed, pointing at herself, "Iβm a Commandery Princess, do you dare kick me out?"
The opposing side kept a straight face, with a bureaucratic indifference, "According to the law, even Your Majesty cannot sail on the river tonight, Commandery Princess, itβs best to leave promptly."
The law indeed exists.
However, if someone of status really wished to sail out, no one would truly dare stop them.
Thus, that law was practically just for show.
They were merely giving a reminder, without actually doing anything, which counted as giving enough face.
"Who sent you!" Xu Jiaowei felt her pride was hurt and wanted to see who was meddling.
"The King."
"..."
Xu Jiaowei felt disgusted like swallowing a fly.
Grinding her teeth, Xu Jiaowei, with a dark expression, ordered the boat to leave.
Without the boat awkwardly blocking in the middle, the river lanterns filled the river, creating an even more magnificent view.
-
Chuzheng supported herself on the rock to sit up, shaking off the heat on her body, "King, I have a question for you."
Yin Shen leaned against the rock, his previously tied-up hair was pulled down by Chuzheng, now casually draping around him.
What should have been an effeminate posture felt anything but on Yin Shen, instead, there was a hint of allure.
"What question?"
Chuzheng turned, her gaze fixed on him, "Are you really a eunuch?"
Yin Shenβs smile abruptly vanished.
It felt like the air was filled with an oppressive tension.
Yin Shen picked up the jade crown beside him and casually tied his hair.
He stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and extended a hand to Chuzheng, "Letβs go back."
Chuzheng: "..."
Itβs over.
The Good Person Card will definitely...
She decided not to say anything to avoid upsetting the Good Person Card.
The Kingβs Account hadnβt yet appreciated that Miss finally knew how to avoid upsetting the Good Person Card, just as she continued to mentally spam.
If I continue to blacken, wouldnβt I be doomed? No, no, I canβt be.
Not the Card, but myself!
[...] Truly saw a ghost.
Chuzheng mentally spamming while calmly putting her hand into Yin Shenβs palm, using his strength to stand up.
Yin Shen led her down, not saying another word until they reached the palace, and escorted Chuzheng to her room door.
"Rest early."
"Good night." Chuzheng closed the door, stood still, listening to his departing footsteps, and then slowly walked into the room.
Yin Shen didnβt return to his room but went to the study.
Palace Attendants brought in some river lanterns, placing them before Yin Shen.
Yin Shen looked at the river lanterns in front of him and waved them away.
The river lanterns had a place to insert paper, and he took the paper out, unfolding it.
Delicate characters unfolded on the paper, likely written by a girl.
ββTo live and die with you, love and grow old together.
There was no signature.
Yin Shen picked up the second river lantern.
ββWish him peace and joy. Shen.
ββWish heaven on earth, to occupy joy, every year tonight. Shen.
All subsequent pieces of paper had his character on them.
The handwriting varied, as did the content, but the character remained the same.
Yin Shen raised a hand to cover his face, not moving for a long time.
Who knows how long it took before the candlelight in the room burned out, automatically extinguishing, and the manβs silhouette was shrouded in the Dark.
"Has the lord not come out?"
The eunuch outside whispered.
"No..."
"Whatβs wrong with the lord?"
The answered eunuch shrugged, full of helplessness.
Who knows what madness the King is having... They dare not venture in rashly, for fear of angering the King and suffering for it.
