Chapter 944: Chapter 947: The Pervert
This reaction... seems to have also offended Qiao Duo’er.
But as far as he knew, this was King Qin’s first visit to White Stone Town.
Qiao Duo’er’s face suddenly turned red, she actually mistook someone for another.
"No... I heard wrong, I thought it was Prince Liang, this time Li Zhengtian was about gathering silver for Prince Liang, harboring hostility towards Prince Liang."
"King Qin and Prince Liang are completely different," Bai Yifan said firmly.
"Hmph, I don’t believe it, I think there’s not a single good one in the imperial family."
Qiao Duo’er stubbornly held on to her opinion.
The imperial family had a precedent for slaughtering cities, and now there was Prince Liang who disregarded the lives of the common people for silver, leaving her with no favorable impression of the entire imperial family.
Most importantly, those who had seen modern civilization believed that the imperial system was feudal dross.
Bai Yifan did not explain further, only saying, "You’ll see when you meet him, he is going to hold court this afternoon, you and Ah Hong both need to prepare."
Royal life seems glamorous, but behind it lies much secrecy and many unspeakable pains.
Back then, King Qin’s mother was deeply favored by the Emperor, which made many envious.
Soon someone took action, using a cold-inducing poison that could result in lifelong sterility, but by that time the Noble Consort was already pregnant. His master spent a great deal of effort to expel the poison, but still, some remained in the baby’s body.
After King Qin was born, he often suffered attacks, on top of that, he had to fend off assassination attempts from various factions.
Later, when his mother fell out of favor, King Qin was sent by the Emperor to the frontier. The bitter cold there intensified the poison.
He and Luo Qingfeng went to Beijiang this time to find the Fire Spirit Mushroom, precisely to detoxify King Qin.
Adversity both torments and tempers a person; he believed that King Qin, unlike the princes raised in luxury who were oblivious to the people’s hardships, would create a peaceful and prosperous era.
But these words alone were not convincing.
Once Qiao Duo’er met King Qin, she would naturally form her own judgment.
"Mm," Qiao Duo’er nodded her head.
Bai Yifan felt that he had a lot to say, but did not know where to start, and in the end, he still went inside the house with Qiao Duo’er.
If that petty cat saw them, it would probably sulk for a good while again.
In the room, Luo Qingfeng and Chen Yiling were in the midst of a heated discussion.
"Second Brother, what bad idea did you come up with this time?"
Seeing Luo Qingfeng gesticulating wildly, Qiao Duo’er could tell that it definitely wasn’t anything good.
Without any intention to hide it, Luo Qingfeng admitted, "I discovered a plant in Beijiang, the locals call it Snake Belly. Eating it makes your stomach swell; it lets men taste what it’s like to be pregnant."
Now Chen Yiling wouldn’t have to wait for the next life to make Qin Longyun’s belly swell.
After all, who can be sure about the next life? If they don’t meet, wouldn’t that be a loss?
Bai Yifan curled his lip: "You’re practically a women’s best friend."
Jealous of my popularity with the ladies, Luo Qingfeng retorted dismissively.
Bai Yifan wickedly added, "Your popularity with the ladies is indeed not bad; this time in Beijiang, a girl chased you for dozens of miles."
"Tsk tsk, come on, tell us what you did on your trip?"
The bored Chen Yiling was very eager for some gossip.
Though Luo Qingfeng seemed to be a ladies’ man, he had always been an innocent virgin.
But this time, it seemed there had been a breakthrough.
Luo Qingfeng gave Bai Yifan a glance and then boasted, "It’s just that this face of mine caught someone’s eye, she insisted on chasing me to make me marry her. It took a lot of effort to escape."
"If you hadn’t peeped at her bathing, she wouldn’t have bothered with you,"
Bai Yifan exposed Luo Qingfeng’s lie.
