Chapter 384.2: Battle, Acting Innocent
For some things, it was better to not say. Once said, certain people to the side just couldn’t help but shiver. Just now, they were too tense from watching, and didn’t think of this matter. Now, thinking it over………..Everyone else aside, Kang Qinwang just felt his lower back aching. How great of a courage did he have to dare raise his fist at Li Hong Yuan at that time? The more he thought about it, the more he felt the lingering fears inside. After all, at the time, he really felt a killing intent. If the other party in the end didn’t pull back, then his little life might really be throw in. In the future, he will definitely avoid this living Enma. Never mind when not knowing his actual strength, to know yet still go up to pick a fight, how stupid did one have to be to do something like this?
For Li Hong Yuan, this perhaps was an unexpected gain.
He Shi Hai’s injuries were even more serious, but He Zhen Wei didn’t dare to have him kept in the palace to treat his injuries. If by chance his Majesty were to see this brat, and momentarily feel annoyed, directly having him ‘kacha’, then he won’t even have a place to cry to. Thus, he just wanted to let the imperial physician roughly patch him up, and afterwards, immediately leave the palace.
However, the imperial physician and whatnot, his old man and whatnot, all got tossed aside by He Shi Hai, just looking to Li Hong Yuan, “Wangye, let’s fight again next time?”
He Zhen Wei felt everything before his eyes darken, just wanting to slap this bastard to death. Although from the start, he just knew that it probably wasn’t something that can be over with after fighting once. After all, in the past, back at the northeastern border town, towards opponents that were stronger than him, he would always challenge again and again, all the way until he was able to defeat his opponent. And his growth can be considered lightning speed, abnormally astonishing. However, when reaching a certain level, this kind of speed will also slow down. Judging from the gap with Jin Qinwang, no matter what, it will still be a year or two. This was even under the circumstances of where he will for sure be able to surpass. But if he can’t surpass? Could it be that he will continuously bother the other party to fight? Just thinking of that scene, He Zhen Wei just felt his life dimming. “Bastard, shut your mouth. You take everyone to be the same as you, just knowing to fight and kill all day? Wangye lowered his esteemed status to exchange moves with you once, yet you still dare to not be satisfied, wanting more?”
He Shi Hai immediately became depressed, just like a little puppy that got abandoned, hanging his head, appearing very pitiful, strangely making one somewhat feel sorry for him.
Le Cheng Emperor was actually paying attention to Li Hong Yuan’s mood, just seeing his face have a slight change, seemingly tacitly approving He Zhen Wei’s words, but Le Cheng Emperor felt that this shouldn’t be the case. Then, recalling his son’s smile previously…………This son in the past appeared to be willful and wanton, but may not necessarily be genuinely happy, right?
“Beloved Subject He, there’s actually no need to be like this. As the saying goes, having an evenly matched opponent is also considered a great joy of life. Just, exchanging moves is fine, but not allowed to use weapons again. Additionally, need to stop before going too far.”
——–Your Majesty, you think not using weapons will be safer? Too naive!
Little tyrant He was instantly in glowing spirits again, grinning from ear to ear. That stupid look made one unable to look at him directly again.
General He very much wanted to cover his face. This wasn’t his son. To be this stupid, being pitiful and whatnot, as expected, was all fake.
“Yuan’er, what do you think?” Le Cheng Emperor asked with a smile.
Li Hong Yuan expressionlessly casted him a glance, lowering his head to fix his cuff, “The days are too boring, so occasionally stretching the muscles is also no matter. This son will take one’s leave first.” After saying this, he just delicately left, turning towards Yucui Palace.
Le Cheng Emperor shook his head, laughing in spite of himself. Clearly he was quite happy, yet still putting on a deadpan face, like as if others owed him several million taels of silver.
“Since sixth older brother likes exercising his muscles, then previously when young master He came looking, just directly agree to it, why wait until………….”
This clearly was trying to set a trap, but before he could finish, Le Cheng Emperor’s cold gaze just swept over. Setting aside whether or not an opponent that randomly comes looking is to one’s liking, he, as a dignified qinwang, to just casually agree, how is that appropriate? Could it be that any random nobody that comes looking, he all needs to take care of himself?
Alright, aside from the throne, for Le Cheng Emperor, Li Hong Yuan was just his actual son, and the others all weren’t.
Li Hong Yuan went to Yucui Palace. Previously when he’d gone to change his clothes, Noble Consort Su had already learned what he was going to do. Just, she didn’t expect that he would return carrying injuries.
Noble Consort Su nearly just exploded on the spot. Her son was an imperial prince, a qinwang. In her eyes, exchanging moves with someone was also merely just that, so definitely won’t have problems arising. After all, that was merely a subject’s son, even the kind that had no official post and no noble title. It goes without saying that regardless of what, the other party definitely won’t dare to really injure him, yet reality gave her a slap instead.
Li Hong Yuan took off his clothes, freely letting the imperial physician apply medicine for him. Noble Consort Su also didn’t step out, just that heartachingly watching.
Li Hong Yuan first had his eyes closed. Actually, this bit of injury truly wasn’t that big of a deal. Originally, he didn’t want to put up with Noble Consort Su, but Noble Consort Su kept softly sobbing to the side. Li Hong Yuan just felt quite annoyed hearing it, thus finally opening his eyes.
His eyes instantly dyed with a bit of helplessness, “Consort mother, no need to worry, it’s really nothing. I’m well aware of the situation. Compared to that time last year, this time simply isn’t considered anything, still very far from death.”
It was still fine if not mentioned, but once mentioned, Noble Consort Su just cried even more violently, “How can you say it like that? Moreover, can the word death just be casually hung by the mouth?”
“This son will pay attention, and not get injured next time. Consort mother, don’t cry.” Li Hong Yuan didn’t know how to coax someone, so these words seemingly were a bit stiff.
“There’s still a next time?” Noble Consort Su’s voice suddenly raised by a lot.
“Consort mother also knows, in the capital, no one dares to really fight with this prince, and this son doesn’t have anything else to do either. Today, this son exchanged blows with General He’s youngest son. This person is different from others. Freely battling it out, this son also feels pretty good. Consort mother should also know, what kind of temper this son has. Moreover, this matter, imperial father has also agreed. That’s why, there will eventually be a next time. To have let consort mother worried, asking consort mother to please forgive.” Li Hong Yuan faintly carried a bit of guilt, his voice also couldn’t help but lowering a little.
Noble Consort Su’s lips trembled. In the end, she no longer said anything to obstruct. This son wasn’t the least bit inferior to his other brothers, even being a cut above them. However, his imperial father gave him a good deal of doting, yet only in terms of power, was it absolute suppression. Replaced with anyone, all would feel unhappy inside, right? To not resent her, this consort mother, altogether was already not bad. And it was probably also because of this that his Majesty was thus this indulgent towards him. “Then, you absolutely need to be careful, and don’t get injured again.”
Li Hong Yuan smiled, “Consort mother, don’t worry, I understand.”
The imperial physician concentrated on treating the wound, keeping his head low and retraining his eyes, like as if being overly focused, completely not hearing what the mother and son said.
After the wound was treated, Yucui Palace’s palace maid brought over warm water and was just about to wipe Li Hong Yuan’s back. That lowered head, the face flushed red, fill with a bashful appearance………….
Li Hong Yuan’s brows furrowed, his eyes flashed with annoyance, directly reaching out to take the towel, setting to the task himself.
Just, as soon as the towel landed on his body, another hand reached over, “Yuan’er, let consort mother do it.”
Li Hong Yuan’s hand paused, meeting with Noble Consort Su’s gentle gaze, ultimately letting go. Shortly after, he once again closed his eyes. The feeling of the towel wiping over his skin was exceptionally distinct. Noble Consort Su’s movement was very gentle, seemingly afraid that if she were to exert more strength, it will hurt or injure him.
If it was Jing Wan, Li Hong Yuan probably would very much enjoy. However, it wasn’t her. This sluggish pace made him somewhat impatient. Have to say, in this lifetime of his, the times he put on an act the most was still in front of Noble Consort Su. Although for him, it wasn’t anything much, he would still feel annoyed. “Consort mother, this son isn’t made of porcelain, no need to be this careful, won’t break.”
“What nonsense are you saying, quickly shut up.” She lightly patted him.
Actually, Noble Consort Su noticed some other scars on Li Hong Yuan’s body. Although it wasn’t considered obvious, the imperial physician didn’t dare to study too closely either. However, she was different. She was very clear how they were created, especially in certain areas, even having teeth marks. Because it appeared to be a little whiter than the ordinary skin color, clearly it was left behind after drawing blood and recovering from the scab. Although she didn’t know whether or not he had a tongfang at his side, but regardless of what, to dare leave behind bite marks and scratches on his body, aside from his wangfei, there wasn’t a second candidate.
Because her complaint towards Jing Wan was already big to begin with, right now, it was further fuming with anger. As a wife, how can she dare to be this wanton? Her son, such a noble and esteemed person, she also dares to recklessly offend? Practically overturning the heavens! Moreover, as the main wife, one should be dignified and virtuous. Even on the bed, one should also know to be reserved. From the looks of this, don’t know how licentious. Even concubines that use sex appeal, afraid can’t reach this level either.
