Chapter 191 - He Is So Overbearing!

“Xiao Chen, this Crown Prince looks young but very sick. Is it curable?” After Jing Yue and Xiao Chen sent Xiao Yuling away, they strolled toward Lotus Garden. Jing Yue stood on Xiao Chen’s side, while her hand was held tightly by him. Xing Yi and Xing Er followed them silently.

“It is a congenital disease. It’s not about being curable or not, but about his willingness to cure it or not.” Xiao Chen answered with a faint smile.

Apparently, his words stunned Jing Yue. She looked up at his side face suspiciously. These royal affairs were so intricate that as an outsider she should keep herself away from these, she thought.

“Oh, right, Xiao Chen,” Jing Yue paused and said, “Can you find a way to get the house I told you last time?”

“Well, after the August Hunting, the title deed of the house will be sent here.” Xiao Chen nodded and answered quietly.

“Hunting? What hunting?” At first, Jing Yue was excited to hear about the house, but when the hunting was mentioned, her excitement turned into doubt.

“That’s what I want to tell you,” Xiao Chen turned to her and said, “The August Hunting will start after three days. The emperor and his concubines as well as his princes will go hunting in the Royal Hunting Ground. They regard it as a chance to improve their relationships.”

“Aren’t they so idle…?” Jing Yue twitched her lips.

“The hunting at this time may be dangerous.” Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at her, “The emperor wants you to go as well. And Xing Er will be your bodyguard.”

“So, that’s the business you talked with the Crown Prince just now?” Jing Yue stared at him seriously.

He nodded, “Don’t worry. I won’t put you in danger.”

“Hum…” Jing Yue smiled brightly with her eyebrows curved; some different implications flittering in her eyes, she squinted at Xiao Chen and said, “You know I am not a weak woman. My ability of killing is not inferior to any of your men.”

Her words successfully surprised Xiao. He looked down at this smiling girl and then his serious look turned into a soft smile. He pinched her pink cheek and said, “I certainly know, and that’s why I am worried about you.”

“Well! I won’t bring you any trouble!” Jing Yue patted his hand off her face and pouted her lips.

“Really?” Xiao Chen looked obviously unhappy, “Helian Xiu will be there this time.”

“Will he? So what?” Jing Yue rolled her eyes, “Then I’ll just ask him if Funeral Flower is still alive or not.”

Xiao Chen snorted with a grim look, “Do not ever talk to him anymore. I’ll do the asking.”

“Hey, hey…Can’t I just talk to him!” Jing Yue protested immediately.

“No.” Xiao Chen said resolutely.

‘Damn fool! He is so overbearing!’

Jing Yue gnashed her teeth and looked at him. How could she never figure out that he was so unreasonable before?

The royal family regarded the August Hunting as a great event. There came the news early in the morning that the Emperor and his concubines had gone out of the palace. And Jing Yue also went up early to meet them together with Xiao Chen. Then they headed for Jianshan Mountain beyond the Imperial City.
