Chapter 126: My Master is Too Frightening!

  Han Caiwei didn't know what Li Xiuzhen was thinking in her heart, but after hearing Li Yucheng's words, she felt extremely annoyed and anxious, with a fire burning in her heart.

  She knew that rumors about her and Shen Fei Bai were everywhere, but she didn't expect Li Xiuzhen's own brother to mock him like this, making her feel angry and helpless. However, Han Caiwei didn't know that Li Xiuzhen was known as the "Cold-Faced King" outside, probably only his own brother had the guts to say such things to him.

  It was originally a normal thing to introduce a beautiful woman, but she couldn't accept it. What's more unacceptable is that Li Xiuzhen didn't immediately refuse or refute Li Yucheng's words, and instead looked at the elegant girl with great seriousness.

  Li Yucheng waited for Li Xiuzhen's response, and after glancing at Qingzi, he smiled slightly: "Fifth brother is right, one should enjoy life as it comes. I had never thought of it this way before, but now that fifth brother has said so, I understand a lot more."

  Li Yucheng smiled and waved his hand at Qingzi: "What are you still dazed about, go pour wine for the Third Prince!"

  "Yes." Qingzi went to pour wine for Li Xiuzhen, and as she walked over and drew closer, it was only then that one could see clearly that this young woman was not just ordinarily good-looking, but truly had eyebrows and eyes like a painting.

  Li Xiuxian gazed at her with a faint smile: "Qingzi girl, you look very beautiful."

  Qingzi's face turned red, and she lowered her eyes to say, "Your Highness is overpraising." As she spoke, Xuexue handed the wine cup over.

  Li Xiuzhen didn't decline, and directly drank it all in one gulp. Then he hooked his lips and said: "A gentle bow of the head, a shy smile like a lotus flower, elegant and refined, pure and unblemished, Miss Qing's name is also very good."

  A sentence was spoken, and Qingzi's eyes were filled with emotions as she looked over, Li Xiuzhen didn't dodge either, smiling faintly back at her.

  Han Caiwei originally hadn't eaten, and now seeing this scene, she was so angry that her stomach hurt, her lips were bitten to the point of no blood color, not only furious, but also a chill in her heart, alternating between hot and cold, making people feel uncomfortable, and yet she couldn't vent.

  Li Yu Cheng looked at the good things 'Yu' became, naturally very happy, and also let the previous dancer's uniform 'serve' him pour wine and dishes. Next to her was a songstress softly singing many love lyrics, Han Cai Wei listened with anger rising, but she endured it.

  Li Xiuxian couldn't help but glance at Han Caiwei, a smile in his heart. This 'girl' could still hold back, indeed knowing how to distinguish between different situations. But he had deliberately come today to test Han Caiwei, so between his eyebrows and eyes, he revealed a charming and suave demeanor, which was naturally very similar to Li Yu's, as they were born of the same mother.

  "Fair maiden, are you truly willing to return with me to the palace?"

  Qingzi gazed at Li Xiuzhen with a gentle and affectionate expression, her voice soft as she said: "Qingzi is willing. Qingzi is willing to serve Master Wang, even if it means being a nameless slave or servant following Master Wang, Qingzi is still willing! Qingzi truly admires Master Wang's demeanor and is willing to stay by his side! —— Only, only Qingzi doesn't know if Master Wang is willing to take Qingzi back to the manor?"

  Li Xiuzhen gazed at her quietly, then suddenly smiled slightly: "You have deep feelings for this king, how could this king betray you?"

  Her words were as clear and elegant as a poem, her face flushing with shyness, yet her eyes seemed to hold a deep affection as she gazed at Li Xiuzhen. Indeed, people say that women are made of water, and this woman was like a pool of water, with a cloud floating gently on its surface. This woman was undoubtedly a delight to behold, and even if Li Xiuzhen had not been moved by her, he could not help but acknowledge this fact.

  But compared to that weird and wonderful woman, it's still a bit inferior. I guess it's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  Li Yucheng burst out laughing: "I really didn't misjudge Third Brother, I've already bought Qingzi's freedom for her. Third Brother can take her back whenever he wants. As for Third Sister-in-law, if Third Brother doesn't want to mention it, I'll go and tell her for him! If in the future Third Brother has a beautiful woman in his arms at midnight, or a lovely companion reading books with him, don't forget my kindness!"

  This perfect couple was made in heaven, and he was also delighted. Li Yu originally thought that today would not be successful, but unexpectedly Li Xiuyan agreed with one mouthful, and after being delighted, she also ignored the subtle unease in her heart.

  "Fifth brother, rest assured, this kindness of yours, I, the king, will not forget." Li Xiuxian smiled lightly.

  Qingzi thought that she had finally achieved her dream, and was overjoyed. She gazed into Li Xiuzhen's eyes, which were filled with deep affection, love, and tenderness, almost to the point of overflowing with tears.

  No one noticed that Han Caiwei's lips had been bitten bloody, she frowned and licked her lips, just as Qingzi was about to lean into Li Xiucheng's arms, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly jumping out, pointing at Li Xiucheng's nose: "Third Prince, have you forgotten what Madam Han said?"

  She suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly, scaring everyone. The music stopped, and all eyes were fixed on her in shock. Li Yu was about to scold her, but then smiled and took a sip of wine, deciding to watch the scene unfold with a calm eye.

  Madam Han? Isn't she that lowly concubine whose son was made the heir? How interesting, let's take a look.

  Li Xiuzhen kept a slight distance from Qingzi and asked leisurely, "What's up?"

  Han Caiwei stepped forward, walked to Li Xiuzhen's table, and slapped the table with a loud bang, knocking over a jug of wine: "The madam said that if King Wang brings back a 'woman', she will trample this 'woman's' hands and feet, dig out her eyes, pluck out all her hair, tear off all her clothes, cut off her breasts, smoke her voice hoarse with tobacco, deafen her ears so that she can't hear or see, and then make her a eunuch, throw her into the toilet to fend for herself!"

  In this day and age, a woman must be able to fight against the mistress, although this Qingzi should be the fourth one, but even if she is the fourth one, she cannot let her enter the door!

  "How dare she be so presumptuous? Does she think she can dictate what I, the king, should do?" Li Xiuzhen smiled faintly. When did this woman's methods become so ruthless and poisonous?

  Qingzi's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she thought that Mrs. Han was really terrifying.

  Han Caiwei hummed in her heart and stared fiercely at the elegant girl, saying: "The little one has always followed the lady's side to serve. The lady's original words are like this! The lady also said that if she can't become a person, it doesn't matter, just remove all her joints, let her not be able to move or do anything, and go nowhere every day, it will hurt so much that she'll die! However, this is more terrifying than being a person. I heard the lady say that a person would die in 4-5 days if they were in pain, but if all their joints were dislocated, they would be in pain for 7-8 days before dying! Isn't that even more miserable? ——Oh, right, Qingzi girl, are you afraid of pain? If not, it's still possible to follow the king back to the mansion."

  Qingzi heard these and stabilized her mind with great effort, but she had already lost the calm and gentle demeanor from earlier. Instead, this pitiful appearance made people even more sympathetic towards her. She hid in Li Xiucheng's arms: "Wangye, Qingzi is scared."

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here, she wouldn't dare harm you." Li Xiuzhen was still acting serious, but in his heart, he was already laughing uncontrollably.

  Li Yucheng clicked his tongue and said, "You're still following a master like her? Third brother, she's so ruthless, yet you still spoil her like this? Oh, I get it. Alas, third brother, look at the kind of life you're living!"

  Third Brother is also afraid of this kind of 'feminine' woman, right? Didn't expect Third Brother to be controlled by a woman, marriage is really scary, Li Yu thought.

  Han Caiwei was furious and ran to the center of the house, sat down and began to cry: "Your Highness, you don't know, my mistress is too cruel! She kills mice every day at home, puts their blood and flesh in a pile, and bones in another pile. If any servant disobeys her, she roasts mouse meat for them to eat. It's terrifying! The queen consort indulges her, the two concubines don't control her, and even our king can't manage her! Waaah... When my mistress is in a good mood, it's even more frightening. She's very skilled in medicine and likes to make 'medicine'. After making it, she applies it to the king's body! The servants don't dare get close to the king! Waaah... I accidentally got caught up in her scheme, it was too miserable!"

  Look at this 'woman' who actually took the opportunity to hide in Li Xiuzhen's arms, Han Caiwei's eyes were on fire. What image did she care about? Anyway, no one knew she was Han Caiwei now, only that she was a little servant, and still a persecuted little servant. She cried like that, and sure enough, the 'woman' stood up and stood aside with her hands down. So, she sneered coldly in her heart.

  Li Yu's eyes indeed showed sympathy, he looked at Li Xiuzhen and asked: "You said your master made medicine, what kind of medicine was it that you applied to my third brother?"

  "It depends on my master's mood! What kind of 'medicine' is this?! Han Caiwei squeezed out a few golden beans, "My king is so pitiful, Fifth King, you have to be more careful in the future! Today, my king has itchy powder on him, and if he touches it, it will only itch for three or four hours. But yesterday was not 'medicine' at all! If he had touched it, that would have been a month of impotence! I was like that back then, and I almost cried myself to death! Waaahhh... Every day is something different, even my king himself doesn't know what's going on, it's too scary! Qingzi, don't be afraid, the 'medicine' won't work on you! Ahh, don't move, the itchy powder will itch more if you do!"

  "What did you say?" Li Yu Cheng jumped up and was about to rush off to take a bath, but Han Cai Wei's next sentence made him unable to move.

  "My mistress said that taking a bath makes it even itchier, waaah... She said she's not even worthy of making antidotes, anyway, anyone who gets within five feet of the king will be affected. She said all the 'medicine' can only be dispelled by oneself, there's no other way! Fifth Master, I haven't touched a woman for a whole month now, and my maid servant takes a detour when she sees me... waaah... My mistress is too cruel! She said if any more women get close to the king, they're dead for sure, she really knows how to make poisonous 'medicine'! King, your fate is bitter, so don't look for women anymore!"

  Han Chaiwei completely acted out the situation, she wiped her eyes and was stunned for a moment, Li Xiuzhe within five feet, no one else was there.

  That elegant girl doesn't know where she ran off to, Li Yu Cheng looked at Li Xiuzhen with fear and sympathy, then asked Han Caiwei: "How did you get close to your husband, the king?"

  Han Caiwei suddenly smiled: "Later, my master also applied 'medicine' to me, and I was a 'medicine' jar. The master said that she would only feel at ease with me going out with the king!"

  Li Yucheng, although he was a prince, had never seen such an array before. Seeing Li Xiuzhen sitting there motionless like a mountain, not denying anything, and with the servant's vivid performance, he already believed it to be true. Moreover, he really felt very itchy all over his body, and several song girls nearby started scratching him in various ways. He felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he hastily said: "Third brother, I'm going to change clothes, you do as you please, haha, do as you please! The weather is not early, I think third brother should return to the mansion!"

  Then, the Fifth King immediately led a group of people to flee in disarray, with almost everyone fleeing for their lives, disappearing instantly.

  The banquet hall was in a state of complete disarray.

  Han Caiwei sat in the middle of the house, seeing that everyone had left, she finally let out a breath, suddenly feeling very tired, not just physically, but also mentally.

  "Are you satisfied now?" She knew it was Li Xiuzhen's voice without even raising her eyes, light and cold, devoid of any emotion.

  Han Caiwei didn't say anything.

  Is that it? Is she satisfied now? She asked herself, thought for half a day, and her heart was still empty, and even more uncomfortable than before.

  "Sorry for ruining your good thing. You can get her back, it's up to you." Han Caiwei stood up, patted her butt and walked out.

  Li Xiufeng furrowed his brow, he had not spoken since Han Caibei couldn't help but jump out, from the initial interest to the final surprise. Not a single bit of displeasure, he knew that the bigger her reaction, the more she cared, but he never expected her to drive away Qingzi in this way, however, thinking carefully, this was also consistent with her personality. No wonder he had such high expectations for her performance.

  He didn't think too much, he just found that this kind of concern was more delightful and proud than her directly saying she liked him. So when he saw her about to leave, he grabbed her wrist, but when she turned around and coldly said "let go", he suddenly realized if he had gone too far, because there were tears in her reddened eyes, only stubbornly refusing to fall.

  "Let go." This time it wasn't pulled tight, and Han Caiwei easily shook it off, then turned around and walked away.

  Li Xiuzhen let out a sigh, this wasn't the place to talk, but this matter had to be settled. He couldn't hold back and returned to the Wang Fu to resolve it again. With that, he wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered, "Hold on tight!"

  Li Xiuzhen's toes tapped lightly on the ground and she leaped onto the rooftop.

  Li Xiuxian took her to a place in the suburbs, where it was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen. Han Caixi didn't have the mood to care about where this place was, and as soon as she landed, she distanced herself from him, leaning against a large tree with her back to him, sulking.
