Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If you want to live, you should know what to do.” Shao Shuting also pressed Fu Xu’s shoulder with one hand and pressed him against the antique shelf. His voice was light and lazy.
“I know, I know.” Fu Xu was so frightened that he said repeatedly, “I will be quiet and won’t move.”
“Why are you so smart now?” Shao Shuting sighed.
Under the mask, Huo Wenqing’s expression was ugly. He was exerting too much force.
The dagger was pressed against his neck, causing Fu Xu to shiver. His eyes widened.
“Then I’ll make it short.” Shao Shuting spoke again. Although his voice was soft, it was still languid. “Didn’t a beggar send you a letter? I spent two silver to make him do it. Speaking of which, that beggar was quite wronged. You’re too st*pid. Everyone said that Xue Wuhu was in your residence. Even if there were only two of them in that room at that time and only Ni Dingyuan was brought into the palace, why didn’t you think that Ni Dingyuan in the palace might be Xue Wuhu?!”
Fu Xu was stunned. “He’s Xue Wuhu?”
“What, you don’t believe me?” Shao Shuting looked at him.
Fu Xu wanted to shake his head violently to show that he did not doubt it. He was afraid that the two masked men in front of him would cut his neck. However, if he shook his head, with such a sharp dagger on his neck, wouldn’t he cut himself by accident? Therefore, even if he did not believe it, he said repeatedly, “No, no, I believe it. I believe you.”
Shao Shuting saw that he was only being forced to agree with them, so he squinted and said, “You have a pig’s brain. There’s no hope! If the one in the palace is Ni Dingyuan, why did he wear a mask when he left the palace to hunt?”
Fu Xu thought about it and immediately thought, “That’s true! At that time, he felt that it was strange, but I didn’t ask, afraid that Fu Ying would suspect that I was trying to find out more.”
“Oh right, the real Ni Dingyuan is also in Fu Ying’s hands.” Shao Shuting said again. “It was Fu Ying who realized that the person she brought into the palace was not Ni Dingyuan, so she sent people to guard the Ni residence. Then, she caught the real Ni Dingyuan who had sneaked back, and now, Ni Dingyuan is locked in a secret chamber in the palace. Do you think that Fu Ying isn’t like the person you know who only cares about pleasure?”
Without waiting for Fu Xu, who was already in a daze, to reply, he continued, “Fu Ying is just pretending to trick you. Doesn’t it look like she is enjoying herself every day to numb you and make you lower your guard?!
“Why didn’t you think about it that way? Her father was so strict with her since she was young and had so many people teach her skills. Which of the ways of governing the country and the techniques of the Emperor didn’t she learn? It’s not like you don’t know this. How could she be like a different person the moment she ascended the throne?
“It’s just that you want her to have fun, so she’ll pretend to have fun for you to lower your guard on her! Fu Ying and the rest are already plotting to get rid of you! Wake up!”
“Really?” Fu Xu felt uneasy. He felt that what he said made sense, but he still did not believe it.
“I told you he wouldn’t believe me!” Shao Shuting was getting annoyed. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid that he might accidentally slash his neck if he slapped his head, he wanted to slap this pig’s head.
Fu Xu trembled even more when he saw that Shao Shuting was angry and afraid that his neck would be slit. He said with a trembling voice, “I, I don’t want to believe it. It’s just that I felt that Fu Ying was pretending to enjoy herself the moment he ascended the throne. That’s why I sent Ni Dingyuan as a male toy to test her limits.”
