Su Mu had been lying on the bed for several days, but the wound had not healed for some reason, and his face became paler and paler.

Gu Yunzhou stood without expression in front of Su Mu’s bed, but his eyes were apologetic.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Ye Qingfeng watched Su Mu become more and more weak, frowning he said: “You must be poisoned. Have you found any suspicious people?”

Su Mu shook his head slightly. It was not that there were no suspicious people, but all were suspicious people.

Squeezing Su Mu’s thin wrist, watching the Crown Prince who had always been brazen and unbridled lying on the bed in such a weak and dying state, Ye Qingfeng suddenly could not bear it. He comforted: “Xuefeng Villa has stored a kind of miraculous medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons. Rest plenty while I go to fetch it.”

After Ye Qingfeng and Gu Yunzhou left, Su Mu lay on the bed and slowly adjusted his breathing. The poisoner was both vicious and insidious, and Su Mu didn’t even know when he became poisoned.

This kind of poison would not flare up in normal times, even when Su Mu used internal force, there was still no abnormality. Only when Su Mu was angry and in a life and death confrontation with others would the effects of the poison flare up slightly, allowing the enemy he was in a fight with an opportunity to land a fatal hit on him. In this way the poisoner could kill him without having to do it himself. After all, the assassinations on the Crown Prince was as common as eating and drinking. There would come one day when the Crown Prince would die because of a momentary mistake.

Ten days passed quickly. The allied forces of the four rebel armies had stationed outside the city and was proclaiming to kill the incapable ruler on behalf of the heavens. Because Su Mu’s people caused a lot of trouble to the rebel armies along the way, when these people arrived outside the imperial city, they were all already exhausted. The generals of the four parties ordered to rest on the spot, and blocked the main roads in and out of the city, planning to trap the people of the imperial city in it.

Su Mu who received the news sneered and summoned Qin Kunyu and several other generals.

“Chen pays respects to His Royal Highness.” Qin Kunyu and several other generals arrived before Su Mu’s bed and saluted.

Qin Kunyu naturally hated Su Mu very much, but he did not want this country to be destroyed. When the Crown Prince dies, the allied forces will inevitably fight for the throne. This would give other countries an opening to invade. Qin Kunyu originally planned to take refuge under a wise master, but the current Crown Prince gave him a glimmer of hope. And with his son still in Su Mu’s hands if he did something, Qin Ye would surely die.

Su Mu replied somewhat weakly: “Rise.”

“General Qin, what good strategy do you have against the rebels attacking the imperial city?” Su Mu asked.

Qin Kunyu stepped forward and replied: “Your Highness, the rebel armies have been exhausted from the long journey to the imperial city, so chen will prepare to attack all the rebel camps at night.”

Su Mu nodded and said: “Very good, it will be as General Qin said!” After a while, Su Mu said: “General Qin can divide the soldiers into small teams, whether day or night attack the rebels repeatedly.”

Qin Kunyu nodded. No matter what there should be soldiers stationed in the imperial city. Therefore not many people can be sent out so it would be difficult to have much effect through direct attacks. Such continuous harassment of the rebels would be a better method.

After midnight, Han Yang relayed the news that the allied forces of the rebel armies had all been attacked. Su Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Su Mu was very afraid of Qin Kunyu betraying at this critical juncture, the consequences would be unthinkable. Fortunately, the heavens favored him this time.

The rebels were harassed repeatedly over the course of the day. They realized the enemy’s intention to drag them down and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, so they united and launched an attack in the morning. Even Su Mu who was lying on the bed vaguely heard the shouts and sounds of battle. Suddenly Su Mu’s expression shifted and felt something was wrong. The sound of killing was getting closer and closer, and within a moment it was clearly audible.

“The bounty for removing the head of the dog Emperor is 1,000 taels, and the bounty for removing the head of the Crown Prince is five hundred taels……”

Han Yang soon reported in a hurry, “Your Highness, Weiyuan General Liu Qi brought his cronies into the palace! Your Highness, I will help you escape……”

Su Mu raised his hand to stop Han Yang’s proposal and sneered: “This idiot is truly bold.”

Qin Kunyu brought all the soldiers to fight with the rebels outside the city, and the guards of the palace were less than one-tenth of the usual force, causing the eyes of those who covet the Emperor’s throne to become red with fervor. In less than a moment, Liu Qi, covered in blood, rushed into Su Mu’s room with his soldiers. He pointed the blood-stained sword at Su Mu, saying: “Su Mochi, you are utterly devoid of a conscience. This general will eliminate you on behalf of the heavens……”

The tone was righteous and even seem to have an awe-inspiring aura. Su Mu got up from the bed with a sneer, there was no panic on his face.

Liu Qi suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wasn’t the Crown Prince seriously ill in bed and dying? How come……

Before Liu Qi could react, he saw the Crown Prince reaching out to him with the smile of a devil. Liu Qi immediately waved the long knife in his hand, but Su Mu appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye like a ghost. Liu Qi who hadn’t even manage to react instantly felt a sharp pain in his heart, falling to the ground with his eyes wide open. In a matter of seconds the rest of the intruders fell to the ground as well.

Su Mu didn’t even bother to spare the people lying on the ground a second glance and walked out of the bedroom. Outside the door, there were shouts of killing. Like a tidal wave, as Su Mu walked by all were indiscriminately killed. All the places he passed became covered with corpses. With Liu Qi’s people a new group charged into the palace. A man with three or four parts resemblance to Su Mu arrived in front of Su Mu with a group of elite soldiers, expression triumphant.

Su Moqi looked at Su Mochi’s pale face, and with a happy smile on his face he said harshly: “Su Mochi, if you know what’s good for you then hurry up and kill yourself, otherwise this prince will have you hanged, drawn and quartered by five horses.”

Su Mu looked at him as if looking at a fool, and said, “Idiot.”

As Su Mu’s words fell, a general beside Su Moqi suddenly drew his sword fiercely. When everyone reacted, Su Moqi’s head had already fallen on the ground, and the person who drew the sword walked up to Su Mochi and said respectfully: “Tang Zheng of the imperial guard camp pays respects to His Royal Highness.”

Su Mu nodded and said: “Rise!”

Su Moqi was born at about the same time as Su Mochi. In the early years, the Emperor liked him very much and wanted to make him the Crown Prince. But then the Emperor listened to Changsheng’s words and made Su Mochi the Crown Prince. Thus, he always hated Su Mochi, but Su Mochi’s powerful martial arts and ruthless methods prevented him from daring to blatantly confront Su Mochi. Instead he secretly bribed the leader of the imperial guard camp Tang Zheng.

After finally getting the news that Su Mochi was seriously injured and dying, he was almost mad with joy. He hadn’t even considered that the imperial city was still being besieged by the rebels, eagerly leading his people to attack the imperial palace.

There was such a person with an old hatred for Su Mochi, so how could Su Mu leave himself unguarded? The first thing he did after transmigrating here was to secretly find Tang Zheng and bring him over to his side.

The shouts of killing outside the imperial city shook the sky, blood splattered like rain and life was cut like grass. But inside the imperial city it was just as turbulent and unpeaceful.

All those who intended to rebel, assassinate, and avenge were all brutally suppressed by the Crown Prince. Nearly six hundred people from dozens of families including the Liu family, Prince Cheng manor, and Zhao family were all killed by the Crown Prince. Su Mu purged the imperial city once again with a bloodbath.

At the same time, when the rebels outside the city were attacking the city with all their strength, they suddenly discovered that the Northern army, which had been their allies, turn their weapons on them instead. The three rebel armies from the East, Southeast, and Southwest all fled in disorder, uterrly defeated.

Most of the rats hiding in the dark have emerged, so it should be quiet for a while! Su Mu lay on the recliner and closed his eyes as he thought. Although his beautiful and handsome face appeared a little tired, it was not at all the appearance of one on the verge of dying from the past few days.

If you would like to show some ♡  then please consider supporting this translator! ლ(⌒εー)ლ

Even though Su Mu ordered the news to be blocked, the news that the Crown Prince was seriously injured quickly spread.

On the third day, Su Mu received the news from Han Yi that Chen Wei was already on his way to the imperial city. After receiving the news of Su Mu’s injury, the other three rebel armies also rushed to the imperial city non-stop. No matter how they were harassed by the people sent by Su Mu, it was still useless. The cities along the way surrendered one after another, and they would reach the imperial city in ten days.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This country had been corrupt for a hundred years, and the generals and soldiers stationed to guard the cities were completely useless, unable to hold up against the rebel armies. Now that the news had spread that the Crown Prince was seriously injured and dying, they were unable to even muster up any resistance. A city lord, whose son was tortured to death by Su Mochi, even opened the city gates personally, inviting the general of the Southwest army, Shangguan Hao, into the city.

Su Mu, who was still laying on the bed, trembled with anger after reading the letter. He threw the letter on the ground, and said angrily: “Shameful thing, Ben Gong is not dead yet……” The severe pain from his shoulder caused Su Mu to stop immediately. Slender fingers gripped the bright yellow bed sheets tightly and Su Mu gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes filled with devastating anger.

Su Mu forced himself to calm down, and after taking a few deep breaths, he told Han Yang: “Immediately have Qin Kunyu mobilize the troops to station outside the imperial city, and order all garrisons to come to the imperial city to destroy the rebels.”

Then Su Mu gritted his teeth and said harshly: “Send someone to watch Yun Feiyu and Qin Ye, they are not allowed to leave the room for half a step.”

Su Mu desperately suppressed his anger, laying on the bed with his eyes closed.

In fact, if he was not Su Mochi and not the Crown Prince, he might actually feel very happy. After all, this country had been harmed by the Su family for too long. On the way to Qingye Villa, Su Mu saw people starving to death right outside the imperial city. In addition, there were officials and soldiers who publicly beat ordinary people, and dandies who snatch good civilian women off the streets.

It was like this at the feet of the Emperor, in the capital of a country. Su Mu could not imagine what chaos it was like in other places.

As the citizens of this country, such a ruler only brought them nightmares and despair. It would not be severe enough even if his bones were burnt and ashes scattered to the wind.

But Su Mu didn’t want to die again, let alone have his bones burnt and ashes scattered. Neither could he tolerate the reputation of being the incapable and tyrannical ruler who lost his kingdom for the rest of his life, hiding in the gutters like a rat.

Su Mu lay on the bed and thought quietly. Su Mu’s thin figure occupied only a small part of the luxurious and spacious bed, appearing a little bleak and miserable.

Huang Xuan cautiously came in with the medicine, and looked at the pale Crown Prince on the bed. He suddenly felt distressed. He put the bowl of black medicine aside and whispered, “Your Highness, you should take the medicine.”

Su Mu opened his eyes expressionlessly, allowing Huang Xuan to help him up and feed him mouthfuls of medicine. Seeing Huang Xuan’s distressed expression on his face, Su Mu wanted to laugh and also felt a little bit sad, so he stretched out his hand and touched Huang Xuan’s smooth face. Looking at his clear eyes he said: “The rebels will attack the imperial city soon, and I will have Shi Nuo send you out of the city at night……”

Huang Xuan, who was holding the bowl, blinked reddened eyes, and finally couldn’t help the tears from falling down. He said, “Your Highness, let’s leave together and be anonymous together. I want to be with Your Highness.”

Su Mu wiped his tears with his fingers, smiled and said, “I can’t be a Crown Prince who abandoned the city and fled.”

If he could’t abandon the city and flee, then there was only one path left. Since ancient times what ruler had survived losing his kingdom?

Huang Xuan trembled suddenly, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Huang Xuan suddenly rushed forward and gently hugged Su Mu.

Su Mu could feel Huang Xuan’s fear, his whole body was trembling slightly with it. Huang Xuan was the youngest child in his family and was loved by everyone growing up. The only difficulty that he had encountered was Su Mochi. He had the same fear of death as many people, but even so he still said very firmly: “Then I won’t go, I want to be with you.”

Su Mu felt his heart contract fiercely, and the moist feeling on his shoulders made him sad and distressed. He had never experienced a serious relationship in his previous life or in this life. He couldn’t understand why Huang Xuan wanted to be with him through life and death together. This feeling made him uncomfortable but also warmed his heart. He patted Huang Xuan on the back like a kid, and said, “What are you thinking about? It’s dangerous when the two sides are at war. I don’t know how many enemy spies and assassins are in this city. I just want you to avoid that outside the city where it’s safer.”

Huang Xuan shook his head stubbornly. Although he was not proficient in major national affairs, the allied forces of the four rebel parties add up to more than 200,000 troops and the imperial city only have a couple ten thousands of soldiers. It was clear whether it will be a victory or a defeat with just one look. If the Crown Prince stayed in the imperial city, besides death was there any other ending?

Su Mu was very helpless and could only tap Huang Xuan’s sleep pressure point, and had Shi Nuo take him to the place where the Shadow Guards were stationed. He did not dare to let him go to even Qingye Villa.

After Shi Nuo came back, Su Mu ordered him to bring the rest of the Shadow Guards. They discussed in secret until midnight before finally leaving.

Three days later, several “female corpses” appeared outside the barracks of the Eastern rebels’ camp for three consecutive days. Then there were rumors that the rebel generals were depraved and liked to torture women to death. At the same time, wherever the Eastern rebel army passed there would be young women going missing.

At the same time, the escort officers of the Southeastern rebels embezzled the grains and supplies, and some people also found tens of thousands of taels of silver in the house of a certain general, at a time when yesterday the general just announced that the funds for the troops had been robbed.

Shangguan Hao of the Southwest rebel army was even more miserable. Since he was 25 years old and had not married yet, rumors spread in the army that he was impotent and liked men. When Shangguan Hao and his army arrived at a certain valley, a handsome man stopped the army and said loudly: “Ten years have passed since and you haven’t married a wife. I didn’t expect you to have such a deep love for me. Shangguan Hao, I promised to marry you, come leave with me! “

Since they were in a valley and the person also infused their voice with their internal force, everyone in the army of tens of thousands of people heard clearly. Everyone did not expect that the handsome and invincible general in their eyes actually liked men and was even on the receiving end. Countless eyes swept back and forth on Shangguan Hao’s body, making him red with anger and desperately restraining his urge to smash the sudden stranger’s body into pieces. He repeatedly hypnotized himself. This was the enemy’s conspiracy. This was the enemy’s conspiracy…… And then sent people to capture the man.

But he didn’t know that the opponent’s martial arts were that strong, and soon there were more words that reached their ears and caused Shangguan Hao to increasingly want to kill something.

“Shangguan Hao, in the past I had wronged you, but since you are already my person, I will definitely take responsibilty. It was all my fault that night and I shouldn’t have treated you like that……”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shi Yan was covered in a cold sweat as he dryly read the words that the Crown Prince ordered him to recite, and his face was almost red and smoking with the embarrassment. Speaking of, he was the kind of guy whose face would blush when just seeing a girl, and now he was reciting such explicit words to a man while in front of tens of thousands of people. It was even harder than making him commit suicide.

But this was the task assigned to him by the Crown Prince, and it wasn’t as if he could refuse.

Su Mu hurriedly took a piece of clothing and put it on to avoid the fate of running around naked. Ye Qingfeng was not so lucky. Su Mu’s elbow almost crushed his internal organs so he was slightly delayed for a while, and the result was being buried under the ruins. When he finally crawled out naked, his eyes looked ready to eat people when he looked at Gu Yunzhou.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Gu Yunzhou, you’re asking for it!” After Ye Qingfeng found his surviving clothes in the ruins, he immediately rushed towards Gu Yunzhou, leaving only an afterimage behind.

Su Mu’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he wished for nothing more than to chop these two into minced meat, and instantly rushed upwards to join the fray, directing attacks at the both of them. The bright eyes gradually became pitch black, and the pale palms became covered with a thin layer of black smoke.

Su Mu was truly angry now, if this could be tolerated then what could be called intolerable? Every night Ye Qingfeng disturbed his sleep. Gu Yunzhou repeatedly demolished his property. It completely angered Su Mu to the point his face twisted into a fierce scowl and he grabbed at the handsome face of Ye Qingfeng with hands covered in sinister force.

When Ye Qingfeng, who was fighting with Gu Yunzhou, discovered Su Mu, Su Mu’s pale fingers were already seconds away from dealing damage. Ye Qingfeng hurriedly turned over and escaped in a shock, but his face was still brushed by the black smoke on Su Mu’s hand. The smell of rotten flesh permeated the air, and Ye Qingfeng grimaced in pain, hurriedly avoiding Su Mu who had caught up.

Su Mu, who had lost his target, directed his attack at Gu Yunzhou. When the sharp sword made a stab at Su Mu’s forehead he directly grabbed it in his hand while his other hand made to fasten on Gu Yunzhou’s neck with lightning speed.

Gu Yunzhou’s sword made a turn, the sword that was sharpened to cut iron like mud rotated in Su Mu’s hand. However, Su Mu’s hand remained intact. At the same time, Gu Yunzhou’s left hand quickly clasped Su Mu’s left wrist, but Su Mu’s hand was like a slippery fish, it instantly turned over and caught Gu Yunzhou’s hand instead.

A burning pain came from the back of his hand. Gu Yunzhou hurriedly used his internal force to shake off Su Mu’s hand, and at the same time, the long sword violently withdrew and turned a circle. In the blink of an eye it pierced towards Su Mu’s heart.

Su Mu did not make any defense at all, and once again directly reached out to grab Gu Yunzhou’s sword. If it was usual Su Mu could easily catch it, but at that moment Su Mu’s mind suddenly blanked out. The originally smoothly working internal force suddenly dissipated, and the palm and heart that have lost the protection of the internal force suddenly felt a sharp pain. When Su Mu came back to himself Gu Yunzhou’s sword had already pierced his ribs.

Fortunately, Gu Yunzhou didn’t truly want to kill him. At the last second he hurriedly deviated the point of the sword by two millimeters. Otherwise Su Mu’s heart would definitely be pierced.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through Su Mu’s clothes, the hand holding the blade of the sword instantly pulled it out forcefully. Next he quickly pressed on the pressure points to stop the bleeding, returning to his bedroom with a pale face.

All this might have seem long, but it happened in an instant. Ye Qingfeng on the side hadn’t even figured out what was going on when he saw Su Mu covered in blood land on the ground. He hurriedly followed, and Gu Yunzhou, who was taken aback, also flew after them and followed behind Su Mu.

Yuzhu, who was guarding at the entrance of the bedroom, saw Su Mu’s body covered in blood and her heart began to beat fiercely. Did the Crown Prince kill again? Thinking of all the horrorific acts of the Crown Prince in the past, Yuzhu’s heart went cold. Could it be said that the Crown Prince had become the same as before?

Only when Su Mu walked closer did she found that the blood came from Su Mu’s body. Yuzhu’s soul almost left her body out of fright, and she hurriedly ordered someone to get an imperial doctor and bring a basin of water. After learning that the Crown Prince was injured, Huang Xuan’s handsome face suddenly turned pale, and he rushed to the Crown Prince’s bedroom anxiously. Yun Feiyu, Qin Ye and Liu Xi followed closely behind. Su Mu closed his eyes and lay on the bed without saying a word, letting the imperial doctor tend to the wound on his shoulder.

The first time it happened could be called an accident, the second time was absolutely impossible. The last time he was pierced in the shoulder was when he was at the lake. Su Mu was positive that someone must have tampered with his body. Su Mochi was a notorious figure, and his enemies numbered in the thousands if not more. Su Mu was usually very careful when eating and dressing, but he didn’t expect that he still fell prey.

Su Mu closed his eyes and thought about it. There were too many people with motives. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that only Huang Xuan could leave him at ease. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly felt that everyone around him was suspicious, and Su Mu suddenly felt icy cold all over the body. This kind of life where there were people doing everything possible to make schemes on his life all the time made Su Mu bitterly disappointed.

He gets up every day before dawn, and then go to the imperial study room where he reads the memorials non-stop until the evening. After returning to his personal quarters, the work still didn’t end for a long time as well.

But even so, he could’t change the determination of some people, just because he was “Su Mochi”, the once notorious Crown Prince, and too many people have hatred for him. The people who wanted him to die were as many as the carps in the river.

Su Mu suddenly felt tired at this moment, and wanted to go to sleep like this. If he could return to the modern age, it would be wonderful. Although some members of his family gave him headaches, but he did not have to worry about his life all the time.

When Huang Xuan, Yun Feiyu, Liu Xi, and Qin Ye arrived, they saw the palace maids continuously taking away pieces of wet cloth soaked in blood.

When Huang Xuan saw this room covered with blood soaked cloths he suddenly felt weak all over. He trembled and asked, “Imperial……imperial doctor, how is His Royal Highness?” He tried to calm himself, but he looked like he would cry at any time.

The imperial doctor felt a little unbearable to see this, but he still told the truth: “The Crown Prince was severely injured some time ago, and he was injured in the same place today. This old man dare not lie.” Huang Xuan only felt that the whole world was gone, only the imperial doctor’s words remained echoing in his mind. He couldn’t believe it and spoke as if speaking to himself: “Impossible, the Crown Prince is so powerful. Who is his opponent, so many people……could not hurt the Crown Prince. How could this be the case now? Impossible……”

Doctor Hu respectfully said: “This old man is not clear either.”

Huang Xuan looked at Su Mu laying pale on the bed with a dazed expression. He couldn’t believe that the Crown Prince who couldn’t be defeated in his heart would also have a dying day. If it were before, he would be happy for several days, but now he only felt his soul shattered into pieces, and his whole person was in pain.

Qin Ye looked at Su Mu indifferently, without sadness or joy on his face. Yun Feiyu looked at Su Mu laying on the bed with the same unpredictable expression. Liu Xi frowned in confusion.

Fortunately, Su Mu woke up after laying down all night. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that his hands were tightly held. Su Mu wanted to turn his head but accidentally moved the wound on his shoulder. A sudden pain came and Su Mu lightly exhaled. And then he heard Huang Xuan’s joyful voice ringing in his ears.

Huang Xuan looked at Su Mu who had woke up, and he was surprised and happy, even sounding a bit teary when he spoke. “Your Highness, you have awaken? Are you hungry, do you want to drink some water?”

Su Mu lay on the bed and said softly, “Pour me a cup of water.”

After Huang Xuan helped Su Mu up, he immediately poured water and carefully moved it to Su Mu’s mouth.

After bowing his head and drinking, Su Mu said to Huang Xuan: “Go and get me something to eat, something mild.”

Huang Xuan nodded hurriedly, and then quickly disappeared in front of Su Mu.

“Shi Nuo.” After Huang Xuan left, Su Mu’s eyes immediately turned cold.

The youth silently appeared in front of Su Mu and waited for instructions.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Check what’s happening in the Crown Prince’s Palace these days.”

A cold light flashed in Su Mu’s eyes, and his hands gradually clenched. Regardless of the other party’s reasons, whether he wanted to fight for power, or get revenge on Su Mochi for having killed his family, Su Mu didn’t plan to use his own life to make reparations.

If you would like to show some ♡  then please consider supporting this translator! ლ(⌒εー)ლ

After Su Mu returned to his personal quarters he fell asleep quickly. Through the thin gauze drapes hanging over the bed, the young slender body appeared to be displayed like a work of art. That perfect sleeping face also caused one to feel unwilling to disturb his dream.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But it so happened that there were just some people who were not the least bit tactful. Su Mu who was lying on the bed snapped open his eyes and quickly slapped a palm forward. With a “bang” the innocent tables and chairs in the dark turned into powder. Su Mu stared at the dark corner with sharp eyes, and said coldly, “You can’t bear to leave the Crown Prince’s Palace, and plan to stay here for the rest of your life?”

Ye Qingfeng’s figure slowly separated from the shadows and appeared in front of Su Mu. In the darkness, only the faint moonlight that penetrated through the window provided some light. Ye Qingfeng’s handsome features revealed a smile and he raised his eyebrows, “It’s really Su Mochi’s evil martial arts.”

He stepped forward and lifted the gauze curtains, moving close into Su Mu’s space, and his charming peach flower eyes searched up and down for possible flaws on Su Mu’s body.

After Su Mu allowed him to look at him for a while, he said, “Can you get the hell out?”

Ye Qingfeng tsked twice, and shook his head: “How can it be so similar and so different? Are you the Crown Prince?” He stretched out his fingers planning to untie Su Mu’s thin sleeping robe.

Su Mu clamped Ye Qingfeng’s fingers in a lightning grip, and looked at Ye Qingfeng dangerously: “You are looking for death.”

Thinking of Su Mochi’s terrifying martial prowess, Ye Qingfeng wisely retracted his hand and widened the distance from Su Mu. Leaving only the word “interesting” he soon disappeared from Su Mu’s room.

Su Mu had already been feeling quite sleepy and instantly fell on the bed with a “bang”, sleeping like a log until the morning assembly.

The next morning he routinely finished his official duties as usual, asked about the examinations, and then returned to take a rest in the courtyard next to the Crown Prince’s Palace.

Then, Su Mu’s tragic nightlife began. First, Gu Yunzhou appeared at around 8 o’clock every day to spend two or three hours with Su Mu on sparring, and then Ye Qingfeng showed up to constantly harass him. Su Mu did not sleep well for three consecutive days.

The pressure felt by the officials during morning assembly was high enough to squeeze oil. Officials also heard that someone was making trouble with the Crown Prince during this period. The Crown Prince was in a very bad mood, so they all scrambled to disguise themselves as sculptures without saying a word so as not to attract the Crown Prince’s attention.

Su Mu absently listened to a report from an official below and nodded or shook his head absentmindely. In his heart, he went through the various torture methods employed by Su Mochi before, thinking about the possibility of using them on Gu Yunzhou and Ye Qingfeng.

However, Gu Yunzhou’s martial arts skills were comparable to his own. And although Ye Qingfeng’s martial arts was not as good as his, he couldn’t catch him at all because of his extremely skilled qinggong (TN: martial arts technique in wuxia that refer to the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees.) Otherwise, Su Mochi didn’t have to lock him in that stone room in the first place.

Su Mu slowly squeezed his fists. No matter what, he had to think of something to deal with the two of them. Did they think that if the tiger does not show his power then he is but a cat?

When the last rays of sunset disappeared and the stars occupied the night sky, Su Mu waited for Gu Yunzhou to appear, but he waited and waited but the other didn’t appear. Could it be he wasn’t coming today, Su Mu thought.

It was best that he never came again, that lunatic.

Fighting was a very physical effort. Su Mu soaked in the warm water and breathed a long sigh of relief. He leaned up on the edge of the bath and threw out all the messy and scattered thoughts in his mind, quietly enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by hot water.

But, could Su Mu truly finish his bath in such a comfortable manner?

A breeze blew by and the long guaze drapes were blown apart. The light on the candlesticks flickered twice before returning to normal. Ye Qingfeng appeared on the edge of the huge bath in loose robes.

Su Mu didn’t even bother to open his eyes. This kind of person, the more you pay attention to him, the more excited he would get.

Ye Qingfeng looked at Su Mu’s completely naked body laying in a drowsy manner in the bath with crystal drops of water rolling on snow-white skin, two beautiful shadows cast by long eyelashes, and those smooth lips that enticed people for an eager taste.

Ye Qingfeng had seen this perfect body and face many times, but had never been able to appreciate it so quietly. Nor had he ever had this urge to swallow all of him down into his stomach. Still with an unruly smile on his face, but his eyes gradually darkened and he gently untied his clothes.

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes and saw Ye Qingfeng walking naked into the bath. That strong and powerful body almost blinded his eyes. Su Mu’s face suddenly frosted over and he snapped, “Get the fuck out.”

Ye Qingfeng didn’t pay any attention to the murderous intent implied in Su Mu’s tone. He still had that infuriating smile on his face and said, “We fucked together before, so why not come out with me and do some fucking?”

After finishing speaking, his gaze swept over Su Mu with an ambiguous expression.

Su Mu watched speechlessly as the guy’s thing became hard in front of him and did not bother to talk anymore nonsense with him. He instantly sent a wave of internal force towards the other with his palm. Admidst the huge sound the water splashed all over. But Ye Qingfeng stood unharmed in the other corner of the bath, smiling at Su Mu.

Although he couldn’t beat Su Mochi in a direct competition of martial arts skill, but with his qinggong that was the best in the world, even if he stood in front of Su Mu, Su Mu wouldn’t be able to catch him either. If it wasn’t for falling into someone’s schemes back then, how could he let the Crown Prince capture and imprison him.

Ye Qingfeng raised his eyebrow and smiled as he walked towards Su Mu, undisguised desire in his eyes.

Su Mu said with a dark expression: “Ye Qingfeng, you are looking for death!”

Ye Qingfeng walked towards Su Mu with a wicked smile, and said, “My dear, don’t be so fierce. Have you forgotten the good times of making love?”

Su Mu sneered in his heart, good times? You mean the good times of torture sessions?

“Ye Qingfeng, I am not interested in playing with you. If you have a request spit it out. Don’t give me this shit.” Su Mu didn’t believe that after such a short time, Ye Qingfeng fell in love with him. In his opinion, it was nothing more than Ye Qingfeng holding a grudge and wanting to avenge his imprisonment and abuse for the past three years.

Su Mu’s guess was correct. Ye Qingfeng did indeed wanted to kill Su Mochi, but the Crown Prince was not an opponent he could hold up against because of his advanced skills, so he was ready to find other ways to get revenge on him. But when he observed Su Mu these days, he found that the Crown Prince was indeed very different from the past.

The former Crown Prince was vicious and cruel, but the current Crown Prince was calm and decisive; the former Crown Prince was uneducated and unlearned, but the current Crown Prince was diligent and knowledgeable; the former Crown Prince was murderous and bloodthirsty, but the current Crown Prince never wounded lives without reason.

Was this really the same person? Ye Qingfeng’s curiosity was aroused, and so he followed Su Mu secretly every day, and then the more he observed the current Crown Prince, the more lovely he appeared, making his heart itch unbearably. And just then he saw Su Mu strip and step into the bath and couldn’t help but leap over the window and come in as well.

“Request?” Ye Qingfeng looked at the naked Su Mu and drawled the word slowly, conveying his obvious intentions.

The corners of Su Mu’s mouth twitched, was this guy a masochist? Wasn’t it enough to be abused by Su Mochi? Su Mu waved his hand, and the clothes not far away quickly fell on Su Mu’s outstretched palm. But at that moment Ye Qingfeng also suddenly rushed towards Su Mu. Ye Qingfeng’s qinggong was claimed to be No. 1 in the world and it was naturally not unwarranted fame.

Su Mu’s smooth waist fell into Ye Qingfeng’s hot palm, but at the same time Su Mu’s elbow rammed into his chest causing Ye Qingfeng to spit up blood.

The sound of fighting suddenly disappeared over the palace, and many cuts appeared all over Su Mu’s body, but all were insignificant small injuries. The thin scratches only ooze a little blood, which on the pale skin appeared extremely tempting. The pain in his body not only did not make Su Mu uncomfortable, on the contrary, the more he fought the more frenzied he became. The pair of slender pale hands were like a weapon of the gods, making a harsh screeching sound whenever they collided with Gu Yunzhou’s sharp sword.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Due to Su Mu’s unusual attack, Gu Yunzhou’s finely made and expensive robe had become ripped and ragged at this time, barely able to cover his body. Through the gaps his tight bronze skin and a perfect body that could directly appear on the cover of any magazine could be glimpsed.

From the palace to the outskirts of the city, the two have been sparring for more than two hours, and yet neither claimed a decisive victory.

Standing not far in front of Su Mu, Gu Yunzhou gasped slightly, his bare chest moved up and down from the deep inhalations, a sight that could make anyone who saw it get a nosebleed. His gaze burned as he stared intensely at Su Mu, who was covered with thin cuts from his sword. If someone didn’t know better they would have thought he had done something to Su Mu that would be censored.

The internal energy that had accumulated in the body for several months was completely released, and Su Mu gradually recovered his sanity, but his gaze was still frightening. He stood still and stared with vigilance at Gu Yunzhou.

Then in this strange posture and appearance the two looked at each other with “deep affection.” A full half an hour had passed before Su Mu felt sleepy and said, “I’m sleepy, not fighting anymore.” After saying so, Su Mu turned around and disappeared from Gu Yunzhou’s sight.

Su Mu and Gu Yunzhou were equals in strength so it was unknown how long it would take to decide the outcome. Su Mu had come to realize that the other was using him as a training partner, but he still had a lot of things to deal with every day. He had no such leisure time to be someone’s free training partner.

Su Mu returned to the imperial palace wearing a tattered robe and instantly caught sight of his harem members at the door.

Huang Xuan’s eyes turned from worry to joy when he saw Su Mu’s figure, and hurried to Su Mu’s side. After seeing Su Mu’s wounds, he was worried and distressed: “Your Highness, how are you? Gonggong, go quickly to get a royal doctor.”

Su Mu didn’t stop him. As he walked into the house, he comforted him: “It’s fine, it’s just a small injury.”

“How can this be a small injury, there is so much blood! Who is it? He is too daring to even hurt the Crown Prince!” Huang Xuan looked angry and seemed to have forgotten that his face used to turn pale with fright at even the mention of the Crown Prince not long ago. But now he was defending him in such a bold and confident manner.

Su Mu looked at Huang Xuan, who was growing into a more and more handsome young man, and a warm current surged in his heart. Could he say that he was still quite successful in life? It was just that even if everyone’s opinions started to change slowly, Huang Xuan was the only one who defended him like this.

Su Mu looked at Huang Xuan with eyes that became much gentler, and said: “Just a madman, you don’t need to pay attention to him.”

After having everyone go retire, Su Mu changed into clean clothes and went to a garden of the Crown Prince’s Palace where he opened an inconspicuous mechanism. After a while, a deep passage appeared in front of him. Su Mu took a deep breath and with a complicated look, walked in.

The tunnel was very long and deep, and it was full of traps and deadly mechanisms. Su Mu carefully surpassed the obstacles according to the footwork in his memory. The dim candlelight could only reflect the outline of Su Mu. The silent and endless tunnel was like a dormant fierce beast, causing one to feel disturbed and uneasy.

After half an hour, Su Mu finally saw a thick stone door. This was a special stone door that did not require any specific mechanisms to open but could only rely on brute force. It would not be possible for a single person to open it without the abnormal martial arts skills of Su Mochi.

Su Mu gathered all his internal energy in the palm of his hand and slowly pushed the stone door open. An extraordinarily handsome face appeared in Su Mu’s vision, though he currently appeared pale and wan likely due to the years without sunlight.

His hands and feet were fixed to the wall by four iron chains, allowing him to move around in this small stone room, but could not walk out of the door for even half a step. A mane of ink black hair grew past his waist and was casually draped behind him. He was dressed only in a simple outer robe that was loosely draped on his body, exposing large areas of white skin on his chest, and even the two reddish points on his chest were faintly visible.

When he saw Su Mu come inside, he didn’t even spare a look, laying on the simple big bed with his eyes closed and rested, completely ignoring Su Mu.

After a while, having seen that Su Mu did not come to him, Ye Qingfeng closed his eyes and pulled away the only piece of clothing on his body, revealing a figure worthy of nosebleeds, and said: “Hurry up, I have to sleep.”

Su Mu, who was preparing to unlock the chains: “……”

Was Su Mochi usually so impatient? Su Mu thought speechleesly.

With a “bang” the iron chains were thrown on the ground. Ye Qingfeng opened his eyes and watched in amazement as Su Mu untied the four thick special chains on his hands and feet.

Ye Qingfeng looked at the Crown Prince who was a little different from usual, and frowned, “What the hell are you doing?”

“Do you want to be locked for the rest of your life?” Su Mu dropped the chains and left without looking back.

Ye Qingfeng grabbed him, and shrewd peach blossom eyes looked at Su Mu carefully and said, “You are not the Crown Prince, who are you?”

Compared with other people in the Crown Prince’s Palace who had slowly heard about the Crown Prince’s changes, and then gradually accepted them. Ye Qingfeng, who had been isolated from the world, could more clearly feel that the Crown Prince was completely different from the past.

Su Mu shook off Ye Qingfeng’s hand and seeing Ye Qingfeng’s whole body naked and ucovered, looked away uncomfortably, and said, “If I am not, then are you?”

Ye Qingfeng looked at the Crown Prince in front of him with a raised eyebrow and smiled with interest. Before the Crown Prince never knew how to write the word “embarrassed”. Ye Qingfeng carelessly put on that thin outer robe, walked over to Su Mu, his handsome face just millimeters from Su Mu’s own, and chuckled softly: “You fake it quite well? My father sent you.”

Reachimg out a hand he made to take off the “mask” on Su Mu’s face.

Su Mu lightly stepped away, and said coldly: “If you don’t want to leave, stay here and wait for death.” After saying so, Su Mu left without looking back.

You must know that Ye Qingfeng only had an outer robe covering his body, and there was nothing inside. Su Mu was afraid that he will not be able to resist doing something that would be censored if he stayed. After all, he was also a man who occasionally only thought about his lower body.

Ye Qingfeng watched Su Mu disappear into the tunnel, and traces of doubts flashed in his charming eyes.

The way he entered and left so blatantly, was it really not the person sent by his father to save him? Who would it be then? The Crown Prince?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Ye Qingfeng immediately refuted this answer. How could he not know the kind of person that was the Crown Prince? After three years of imprisoning him, he suddenly released him without warning. Even if he was threatened, he would definitely have tortured him to the last breath before throwing him out. No way would it be this easy and simple.

Ye Qingfeng was completely heedless about being practically naked, walking out with a big smile on his face and a swagger in his stride.
