185. Whom Did The Emperor Come For?

At this moment, an old voice said, “Bai, come in,” it was the voice of the State Master.

Yue Youbai got chills. In the entire country, the State Master was the person he was most afraid!

He calmed himself. Yue Youbai went inside with Yue Youlong.

Although the state master sounded very old, his face was not like that. He looked at the most in his forties, and he was handsome. It could be seen that he should be extremely handsome when he was young.

However, the color of the State Master’s eyes was very dark. When he stared at you, you even had an illusion that you might be drown by his stare.

This was a very terrible thing for people who practice martial arts.

The most important thing was that although the State Master had never had a fight, they didn’t even know if the State Master knew martial arts or not, no matter how great one’s martial arts were, he would still be alert in front of him, and he would still feel like he was inferior to State Master!

Although Yue Youlong and Yue YouBai were children of an Emperor, they were very respectful to the State Master as the Emperor trusted the State Master.

No matter if they respected the State Master honestly, what they showed on the outside was that they really did.

“State Master!” Yue Youbai lowered his head slightly.

“Your highness, hope that you are well.” The State Master’s name was Wu Xian. He had been a State Master in the Yue Empire for twenty years.

“Youbai, you’re here…” Yue Weiyouyou, the Emperor of the Yue Empire, said.

Yue Youbai took two steps to the big bed, half kneeling in front of the bed. “Father, are you alright?”

Yue Weiyou gestured Yue Youbai to sit him up, and Yue Youbai did it.

Yue Weiyou leaned against the bed, sounding weak. “You’re back…”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? So I can come to greet you.” Yue Youbai said.

Yue Weiyou smiled. “I am old.”

“Nonsense. You are not old,” Yue Youbai glared at him disapprovingly.

“Haha,” Yue Weiyou smiled and asked a few questions about Yue Youbai’s situation in City of Capital, then he said, “There is one thing you should do.”

Yue Youbai was excited in mind but he didn’t show it on his face. He immediately said, “What is it?”

“State Master needs half a bowl of blood of Han Tingxuan. You need to complete it.”

Yue Youbai’s heart skipped a beat. Yue Youlong was shocked. He immediately said, “Father, as far as I have known about Han Tingxuan in the past two days, he is  very vigilant and difficult to get close to. After all, Youbai is a she-man. I’m afraid..”

“Yue Youlong,” Yue Weiyou interrupted Yue Youlong.

Yue Youlong shut up but there was worry in his eyes.

Yue Weiyou seemed to not see anything, just staring at Yue Youbai.

Yue Youbai pursed his lips tightly and didn’t speak.

Wei Yueyou said lightly, “If you are thinking of a good method, I have one for you.”

Yue Youlong instinctively asked, “What method?”

This time, Yue Weiyou did not blame Yue Youlong. Instead, he said, “Han Tingxuan, as far as I know, is very nice to his fellowmen. He has a subordinate named Yang Shuo. Coincidentally, this person seems to be an acquaintance with Youbai? You can make good use of Yang Shuo. If things go smoothly, you will get half a bowl of blood of Han Tingxuan.”

Yue Weiyou’s words shocked both You Youbai and Yue Youlong.

You Youbai’s brain went blank. Yang Shuo…

The next day. When Han Tingxuan woke up early in the morning, he felt his nose a little itchy. After sneezing twice, he couldn’t help rubbing the tip of his nose.

Today, Mo Yanzhi should send the imperial letter back to the Ministry of Rites. Even if he made some mistakes on the letter, there was a good reason to explain.

The Emperor was injured in the bath pool, which not only disgraced the imperial family, but also caused a serious consequence.

The Emperor suffered from some memory loss. Thankfully, it did not affect his daily life.

It was also one of the reasons why the Emperor took a vacation.

However, as the Dongfang family and the Nangong family guessed, the Emperor must be testing them.

Thankfully, Tian Yuexi had told enough things to Mo Yanzhi before he died. There were very few things that Mo Yanzhi did not know.

Han Tingxuan got out of the house and felt so much better especially in such a sunny day.

He was annoyed by the people from the Yue Empire. If these people didn’t leave, he wouldn’t go to Mo Yanzhi’s place.

Therefore, although he promised Mo Yanzhi that he would go within two days, he didn’t not feel like it was a good chance. Therefore, he did not go.

Furthermore, Yue Youlong had asked him to accompany him yesterday, so Han Tingxuan could not go!

He always felt that the City of Capital seemed to have a storm coming.

After breakfast, Butler Qi came over to report that Yang Shuo was here, so Han Tingxuan arranged to meet him at the meeting room.

When Han Tingxuan got there, he noticed that Yang Shuo had black circles around his eyes. He asked, “You haven’t sept well?”

Yang Shuo said, “I am making up my mistakes.”

Han Tingxuan patted his shoulder. “Don’t blame yourself. It is my order not to kill Yue Youbai but tracing him down.”

Yang Shuo shook his head with a bitter smile.

Han Tingxuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “There hasn’t been any news that is detrimental to us till now. Even if Yue Youbai stole that secret account book and some information, he might not have used them.”

Yang Shuo froze there.

Han Tingxuan said softly, “He has his own job to do. Some things can’t be changed. But it doesn’t have much to do with whether you want to.”

Yang Shuo’s voice was a little hoarse. “What… do you mean?”

“During the past two days I have spent with Yue Youbai, he was in a bad mood.”

Yang Shuo didn’t say anything.

“Yesterday at Restaurant of Bon Appetite, the person he saw was you, right?”

Yang Shuo paused, then slowly nodded. “Yes, yesterday, I was not being careful. When I met Zhang Luobing in the dark alley, he saw it from above. That place is not secret. I will be more careful in the future.”

Han Tingxuan smiled. “I guess he really likes you.”

Yang Shuo licked his lips tightly without saying a word.

Han Tingxuan smiled. “I thought you would be happy to hear me say that.”

Yang Shuo was silent for a moment and said seriously, “If you are right, he really likes me, perhaps we can make good use of it.”

Han Tingxuan paused and said. “Are you serious?”

Yang Shuo said coldly, “Of course! He and I are on different sides. No doubts.”

“You…” Han Tingxuan shook his head and suddenly said, “But you know there is no sides to take when you like someone.”

Yang Shuo was stunned. Han Tingxuan smiled. “You are my subordinate. But we are more of friends. As your supervisor, I hope that you will be heartless and make use of everything that is beneficial to us, creating greater benefits for me. However, as your friend, I hope that since you have feelings for him, you should at least not regret whatever you do and you will never get hurt or hurt the one you like. If you do, you might not feel anything at the beginning, but in the end, you will regret it and it will harm our friendship in the end.”

“Brother Han, I won’t!” Yang Shuo immediately said.

Han Tingxuan smiled. “Don’t be in a hurry to make any decisions. Ask your own heart, it will give you an answer… By the way, what do you want to talk to me today?”

Since Han Tingxuan did not want to talk about it anymore, Yang Shuo immediately stated his purpose for coming today.

Firstly, he came to report, and secondly, it was for the development of Bamboo Lane.

It was already two hours later when Yang Shuo left.

On the way back home, Yang Shuo met someone. It was Xue.

Or it was Yue Youbai who once again wore makeups of Xue.

If it was before meeting Han Tingxuan, Yang Shuo would either ignore him or sneered him, or even had a fight against him.

But now, Yang Shuo found that he was a little calm and felt complicated.

Yue Youbai didn’t expect Yang Shuo to be so calm. He pursed his lip slightly and walked towards him.

“Shall we talk?”

“Are you talking to me as you or someone else?” Yang Shuo suddenly asked.

Yue Youbai was slightly stunned. “… What?”

Yang Shuo looked at him indifferently. “You came by yourself or one someone else’s order?”

Yang Shuo repeated it again, coldly and calmly.

Yue Youbai forced himself to calm down, but he felt a little relaxed. Since Yang Shuo had seen him through, it was not his fault if he couldn’t process his father’s plan.

“I speak for myself,” Yue Youbai said softly.

Yang Shuo sneered because Yue Youbai was obviously lying because Yue Youbai avoided his eyes.

However, if Yue Youbai really wanted to lie, why would he avoid Yang Shuo’s eyes?

Yang Shuo should have been unable to see it clearly. But after hearing what Han Tingxuan said, he calmed himself down and saw it clearly. Thus, he felt more complicated.

He couldn’t help but think of what Han Tingxuan said.

There were no sides to take when it came to love.

Finally, Yang Shuo said, “Let’s go.”

Yue Youbai was surprised. “What?”

Yang Shuo asked, “Didn’t you want to talk? You choose a place.”

At this moment, Yue Youbai felt pain in his heart. He even wanted to say it. “I’m not here for myself! I was forced to come! Don’t come with me!”

However, in the end, Yue Youbai didn’t say anything. But he found it difficult when he led the way.

As for Yang Shuo, he didn’t seem to notice anything. He just followed Yue Youbai. He asked, “How are you these two days?”

Yue Youbai paused a bit and continued, “Alright.”

Yang Shuo smiled faintly. “Really? Then why don’t I feel that you are alright?”

Yue Youbai suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Yang Shuo. Yang Shuo looked at him and suddenly asked, “Do you know what I want to do the most right now?”

“… What?”

“Remove your makeup and kiss you very hard!”

Yue Youbai’s heart trembled and he was even speechless. “You…”

Yang Shuo smiled. “Is it hard to believe? Your Highness, this is how much I want you. It is hard to believe that you are so attractive to me. Right?”

Yang Shuo’s voice was seductive.

At this moment, Yue Youbai only heard the sound of his heartbeat.
