56. Shouldn’t You Compensate Me?

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

But Mu Qinghan wouldn’t let Su Bei overtake him, “Your Majesty’s harem has three thousand beauties. How can I ever compare?”

Su Bei snorted lightly, saying nothing.

Three thousand beauties in the harem? Now he had only been circling around Mu Qinghan now, even having no time to enjoy those three thousand beauties!

Mu Qinghan’s mouth slightly curved, “I will keep an eye on Lu Jinyao and I also will not let the prime minister to control the court, after all, this is our deal.”

748, “Captivating bar increased by 5%, current progress 74%.”

Su Bei fixed Mu Qinghan with a stare. This man is really a surprise package!

With the help of Mu Qinghan, even though Lu Jinyao still served by Su Bei’s side, she did not dare to act so rashly.

Mu Qinghan’s brutality, no one dare to taste for a second time.

Did not know why, the prime minister who was supposed to do something taking advantage that Su Bei was in coma suddenly quieted down.

No action! He even seldom misadvised in the court.

This let Su Bei feel very strange. Clearly the prime minister was trying to revolt before.

Having pretending to be in a coma for a few days, the prime minister still did not take any further action, Su Bei felt that it was time he should wake up.

He had to see for himself what the prime minister was cooking now.

Su Bei, who was just beginning to recover from a ‘serious illness’, first cheated a large amount of good things out of the prime minister, and then successively cheated all the officials of the imperial court.

And one day, Su Bei went to the court.

He randomly used an excuse and dismissed a court official.

The imperial official was a hand of the prime minister, so the prime minister could not sit still and refused to let Su Bei dismiss him.

Su Bei still insisted, however, what he played, anyway, was a fatuous ruler, so he also performed it incisively and vividly.

Insisted saying that that man was too ugly and must be changed.

Having Mu Qinghan as his back, Su Bei wasn’t afraid at all now.

After crossing swords several rounds, the prime minister could only succumb to him.

The one Su Bei nominated even surprised Mu Qinghan.

Mu Qinghan felt Su Bei should have already premeditated this.

With the same excuse, Su Bei changed almost half of the prime minister’s people.

The prime minister finally broke out, openly opposed Su Bei to change more imperial officials.

So Su Bei took the opportunity to turn the spearhead to Mu Qinghan’s side, and changed Mu Qinghan’s jaws.

The prime minister thought to himself, this emperor was really crafy and had a big appetite to eat two at a time.

If he had taken action at that time, he would have suffered a lot.

That very night Su Bei changed Mu Qinghan’s people, Mu Qinghan pressed Su Bei on the bed, “Your Majesty, aren’t you a little too greedy?”

Su Bei said in an innocent way, “I also had no choice. I can only do so to dispel the prime minister’s vigilance.”

Looking at Su Bei who was playing weak, Mu Qinghan called him ‘a little fox’ in the heart, then said, gnashing his teeth, “So, Your Majesty, shouldn’t you compensate me something?”

Su Bei thought for a moment, “You can choose anything in the warehouse. I am all OK.”

Mu Qinghan untied Su Bei’s belt, “Your Majesty, do you think it’s useful to play the fool now?”

Su Bei said seriously, “You know that it was a mistake last time. How can you let the same mistake happen again?”

Mu Qinghan chuckled. “Your Majesty said right, but how can you tell if it’s a mistake only by doing it once?”

Speaking of which, he pressed Su Bei’s mouth with his.

The curtain fell and hid the desire.

The next morning, Su Bei did not go to the court, because he could not get up.

Now he was lying in bed like a salted fish.

Although feeling quite exhausted, he was horrified to find that he actually enjoyed it a little, and last night Mu Qinghan was particularly gentle.

Su Bei pulled up the quilt to cover his head, thinking that as long as he could finish the task, nothing mattered.

The 748’s sharp words made Su Bei despair, “Do you think you still have feelings for women?”

Su Bei wanted to cry but had no tears. That kind of weird mechanical sound made his kidneys painful.

At lunch time, Su Bei finally dragged his feet to get up.

Mu Qinghan also came, the whole person looked radiant.

Su Bei covered his own face, feeling upset.

To add to his misery, lunch was porridge and nothing else.

The reason was what he did not want to hear- he should not eat too greasy food now.

After Su Bei resigned and ate the porridge.

Mu Qinghan began to talk about business, “Lu Jinyao seems to be in touch with Prince Ning’s people secretly.”

Prince Ning? Su Bei picked the information of this person from his memory.

Prince Ning was Su Bei’s elder brother. That year when fighting for the throne, he was too ferocious and killed all Su Bei’s other brothers.

Which angered the emperor at the time and banished him to a place where even birds did not shit.

After his demotion, the emperor found that only Su Bei the waste can inherit the throne now.

So Su Bei became the final winner, a puppet emperor.

Prince Ning Su Ning had another identity-the second male lead.

After he was banished to the place where birds didn’t shit, he still stayed uneasy and turned that place into a trading city.

In the story, the regent wanted to take that city, so he took the female lead there-which means it should be long after Lu Jinyao and Su Ning met.

How is it possible they already know each other now?

So unscientific?

Mu Qinghan looked at the thoughtful Su Bei, asking, “Your Majesty, did you think of anything?”

Su Bei shook his head. “No, nothing.”

Mu Qinghan gave a faint smile, “If your Majesty could have some clue, it wouldn’t have been so simple.”

Su Bei said, “It seems that you are not in a hurry to find Mu Qingyan’s body now.”

Well, those words immediately let Mu Qinghan’s face pulled long enough.

Su Bei who realized that he said something wrong glanced left and right, wanting to dissolve this horrible atmosphere.

But Mu Qinghan found that Su Bei’s words enlightened him.

At the beginning, he was really picking on Su Bei because of Mu Qingyan, but now, he had kind of forgotten his original intention.

On a second thought, he found a lot of unreasonable places.

In fact, he was not very close to that sister, or one could say, that sister was dispensable.

For she was not exactly her own sister, but the product of adultery.

So his anger at the death of Mu Qinghan was somewhat inexplicable.

Su Bei dare not disturb Mu Qinghan’s meditation, afraid that he might remember that thing and silence him.

Mu Qinghan did not speak for quite a while and then left.

Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he should really watch what he said.

He often threw himself into the pit because of his cheap mouth.

As Su Bei was going to bed at night, Lu Jinyao dawdled and did not mean to leave.

Su Bei gave her a strange look, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

Then he saw that Lu Jinyao took off her clothes with lightning speed.

Su Bei’s first reaction was to cover his eyes and he exclaimed, “Put them on!”

Lu Jinyao was approaching Su Bei step by step, the voice very flirty, “Your majesty, I know I made a mistake. Please give me a chance. I would like to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and my body.”

Su Bei wanted to push her away, but because of the uncomfortable smooth feeling, he withdrew the hands like getting an electric shock, “I said put on your clothes, and go out!”

Ignoring his words, Lu Jinyao leaned on his body, breathed on him like an orchid, “I know Your Mejesty is mad at me, because i couldn’t tell good from bad. I will change.”

58. Ancient Times: Lu Jinyao’s Scheme

Su Bei hurriedly got up to leave, but was hugged by Lu Jinyao from behind, “Your Majesty. Where are you going? It’s late at night. Allow me to serve Your Majesty to go to bed.”

Su Bei clearly felt the blushing sensation because of feeling shy, but he sadly found that he was only blushing, no other reaction.

He wanted to break away from the Lu Jinyao, but smelled a strange fragrance, and his whole person felt a little blurred.

Lu Jinyao’s voice kept ringing in his ears.

Su Bei wanted to shake off Lu Jinyao, but only finding that he already had no strength.

Little by little, his consciousness sank into darkness.

Lu Jinyao looked at Su Bei in a coma, put on her clothes, retrieved the unnecessary expression, and showed a cold smile.

Threw Su Bei on the bed, then started to undress him directly.

On half way, she saw the red marks on Su Bei’s body.

Lu Jinyao only thought those were left by Yaoyao.

So she thought it also saved her the trouble of forging the scene.

Then she blew out the candle, and her groans drifted in the darkness.

When Mu Qinghan heard from his eyes in the palace say the candle in the emperor’s room was out but Lu Jinyao still hadn’t come out, he felt something was wrong.

He went straight into the palace and kicked open the door of Su Bei’s bedroom.

Lu Jinyao hurriedly turned over and wrapped herself in the quilt, raised her hand and rubbed on the tip of Su Bei’s nose…

and then delicately cried out, “Who is it?”

Su Bei also woke up quietly at this time, found someone lying in his quilt, and felt something wrong.

Frightened, he jumped off the bed, did not think there was someone else in his room. The next second he directly bumped into that person’s arms.

Su Bei instantly recognized it was Mu Qinghan. He tugged his sleeve, “Someone is on my bed! Someone is on my bed!”

So scared! And he should have been drugged, otherwise he wouldn’t have suddenly lost his consciousness.

Even in the dark, Mu Qinghan had a good eyesight.

He clearly saw the panic expression on Su Bei’s face, anger slightly dissipated some.

He took off his outwear and put it on for Su Bei. “I’ll go light the candle.”

748, “Captivating bar increased by 6%, current progress 80%.”

Su Bei followed Mu Qinghan closely, the darkness in front made him feel insecure.

As Mu Qinghan lit the candle, Su Bei saw Lu Jinyao wrapping herself in his quilt, shivering.

Her exposed arms had the telltale red marks.

Su Bei immediately explained to Mu Qinghan, “I did not do anything.”

Tearful eyes, Lu Jinyao said with a pitiful tone, “Your Majesty…Your Majesty, you did something to me…”

Before she finished her words, she already buried her head in her arms.

The way Mu Qinghan looked at Lu Jinyao was like looking at a dead person, “The maid Lu Jinyao tried to assassinate the emperor but failed, capital crime.”

Su Bei did not refute, it seemed that Lu Jinyao was really not simple.

Today, if it hadn’t been Mu Qinghan, he would have been set up.

The behavior of Lu Jinyao from the beginning all made him perplexed, having no idea what she was up to.

Lu Jinyao hurriedly raised her head, trying to arouse Su Bei’s protection desire, “Your Majesty! You can’t treat me like that! ‘

Su Bei tightened his clothes, “I will leave this matter to the regent.”

Soon, Lu Jinyao was carried out together with the quilt.

And all things on Su Bei’s bed were changed thoroughly.

Mu Qinghan looked at kind of uncollected Su Bei, gnashing his teeth, “Your Majesty is really sought-after. Not long after I left, someone else already preyed on you.”

Su Bei also felt awful, but suddenly something hit his mid, “So the empress’ child may not  be mine, right?”

59. Ancient Times: Body in the Pond

Mu Qinghan was waiting for Su Bei’s analysis.

Su Bei seriously said, “The night when I slept with her, I also lost my consciousness like today without a reason. When I woke up, the empress was lying beside me.”

There was a gleam flashing in Mu Qinghan’s eyes, and in his heart there aroused a feeling called joy.

So Su Bei never had sex with anyone else?

748, “Captivating bar increased by 10%, current progress 90%.”

Su Bei already did not want to delve into how to raise the captivating bar, anyway he earned it.

Mu Qinghan opened his mouth, “I will get it investigated for Your Majesty.”

Su Bei paused for a moment, then said to Mu Qinghan, “It’s too late. You can go.”

Mu Qinghan gave Su Bei a meaningful look, “I think it is necessary for me to stay to protect Your Majesty.”

So using such an unreasonable reason, Mu Qinghan occupied half of Su Bei’s bed.

The next day Yaoyao came very early.

She bumped into Mu Qinghan on the way. She opened her mouth but said nothing, since Su Bei stayed silent.

She ignored Mu Qinghan and said to Su Bei, “Your Majesty, I think I found something.”

After saying that, she took a look at Mu Qinghan, meaning that he should avoid.

Mu Qinghan also had no interest of it, so he only said, “Tonight I will come over to protect Your Majesty.”

Su Bei twitched his mouth, saying nothing.

After Mu Qinghan left, Yaoyao seriously said to Su Bei, “Your Majesty, I found that those maids and eunuchs who have ever had contact with Lu Jinyao are different from before.”

Su Bei frowned. “What’s the difference?”

“In every way,” said Yaoyao, “there is something wrong.”

Su Bei thought for a moment, “Don’t alert these people. Spread out the news that Lu Jinyao has committed capital crime for trying to assassinate me, and see their response.”

Yaoyao was surprised, “Lu Jinyao tried to assassinate Your Majesty?”

Su Bei choked on her words a little, thinking that the thing last night was a bit embarrassing and hard to tell. So he just said yes and said no more.

Yaoyao did not notice Su Bei’s embarrassment, but sulked, “I knew Lu Jinyao was up to something!”

Very soon, the news was spread out, and then Su Bei found that many eunuchs and maids came to his palace more often.

Apparently they were very suspicious.

In fact, Su Bei also had no idea how Mu Qinghan had handled Lu Jinyao.

But he thought it was time to clear the palace.

Last time Su Bei had already cleared out the imperial army, and now the experience just came in handy.

Maybe because the movement was too big, those officials who planted eyes in the palace came to see Su Bei in turns sounded out His Majesty’s intentions.

Su Bei prevaricated all of them using the same excuse-Lu Jinyao tried to assassinate him.

As for the several suspicious eunuchs and maids, they all fled when Su Bei sent people to catch them for interrogation.

Yes, they all did.

Their martial skills were beyond common’s people’s comparison.

Mu Qinghan told Su Bei that Lu Jinyao was also taken away.

Then some concubine found the fish in the royal garden barely ate anything.

Whenever they fed the fish, the fish just sank in water.

Su Bei realized that there was something in the pond, so he let people dry the water.

Inside, there were a lot of bodies, belonging to those eunuchs and maids who stayed close to Lu Jinyao.

They got stones tied to their bodies so that they couldn’t float up.

Most of their bodies had been eaten by those fish, looking horrible.

If Su Bei hadn’t been scared by Mu Qinghan enough, he would have vomited already like hell.

The real eunuchs and maids were in the pond, which meant that those eunuchs and maids who looked exactly like them should be someone else who used some kind of disguising skills.

60. Ancient Times: Ruthless

Su Bei really felt this emperor was kind of pathetic, except Yaoyao, no one was on his side.

All over the palace was eyes of others, if Su Bei hadn’t roped the regent Mu Qinghan in.

Those he would have to deal with were three bone-eating beings.

Then those who shammed those maids and eunuchs should be Prince Ning’s people.

In last world, Su Bei, who had quit smoking because of Feng Xinglan, suddenly had the urge to smoke a cigarette.

But the next second he realized this was ancient times where there was no such a thing.

After ordering them to dispose those bodies, Su Bei went back to the royal study.

But the fidgeted he had no mood to read even one word. So awful!

He rubbed his fingers and told the eunuch to get him some sugar or something.

Of course there was no lollipop in the world.

Su Bei collapsed in the chair, motionless.

When people stayed idle, one could become cranky.

For example, at the moment what Su Bei was thinking was, in the following worlds he would transmigrate to should have more cruel things than this, right?

Thinking of this, he asked 748, “748, what are the worlds I will transmigrate into?”

748 instantly replied, “As behindhand as back to the age of ape man, as advanced as going to the age of starcraft era.”

Its sound was as mechanical as ever, but Su Bei felt something was wrong.

Su Bei supported his head with a hand. As expected, every world next would be more ferocious than the previous one!

The door was pushed open, Mu Qinghan walked in. He put the box in his hand on the table, looking at Su Bei teasingly, “Your Majesty, still feeling frightened?”

Su Bei raised his eyebrow to give Mu Qinghan a look, did not respond.

Mu Qinghan opened the box, pushed it before Su Bei, “I heard you’d like some sweets, so I brought you some succade.”

Su Bei stretched out a hand, fished out a thing and threw into the mouth, sour sweet, candied fruit!

He grinded the sweets with his teeth, and finally becomes less restless. “Prince Ning is taking action already?”

Mu Qinghan replied with a faint smile, “Exactly.”

In fact, Su Bei also had no idea why he would have an oar in everyman’s boat. Apparently his mission was only captivating Mu Qinghan.

Now he was taking pains to root out those who had evil intentions and were a threat to the throne.

Actually it was not that Su Bei was obsessed with this position since he was a lazy person.

Alas! Perhaps he was too benevolent.

Because of Su Bei’s big action, a lot of people had realized that Su Bei was not kidding this time.

He was really going to gather up his power.

The prime minister had the greatest reaction.

He was now very anxious, quite a few of his people had been removed.

With the regent as Su Bei’s back, he couldn’t do anything.

Last time if it hadn’t been Lu Jinyao who tipped him off in time, he had already been thrown into jail.

But Lu Jinyao had also died.

Though he had no idea what her purpose was at the time, she saved him once anyway.

But who can help him now?

Su Bei who Let the prime minister anxious on fire decided to visit his child.

He had long wanted to see his child.

Mu Qinghan wanted to go with Su Bei without asking him.

Su Bei also did not object.

When he and Mu Qinghan arrived at the empress’ palace, she was teaching Su Yu to practice calligraphy.

As she saw Su Bei and Mu Qinghan, her eyes flashed a bit, “Greetings, Your Majesty, Prince Regent.”

As always, not very sincere, even before Mu Qinghan.

Seeing Su Bei coming over, Su Yu looked hesitated.

Until the empress faintly said, “Why not greet your father?”

Su Yu then stood up and saluted to Su Bei, “Greetings, father.”

In fact, Su Bei was like a stranger for Su Yu, because since he was little, he only saw him from far away.
