67. Meeting Him Again

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Before Feng Xue could ask what had happened, he found Ye Shengxuan nowhere.

After struggling for a while, Shiao Qi finally decided to follow Ye Shengxuan. After all, comparing to this country, he cared more about Ye Shengxuan’s order.

Without any forecast, the emperor of this country suddenly disappeared in its imperial capital city.

While in the imperial chair, Feng Xue was playing with the imperial jade stamp, and his eyes were now filled with fierceness instead of warmth as they used to be.

He suddenly thought of that day when he met Helian Chacha. He was definitely going to do these things, but he needed to wait until Helian Chacha was back.

And before Helian Chacha came back, he would heed every order of Ye Shengxuan.

One day later, the governor of that river town was extremely nervous because he was meeting his unexpected guest, the young emperor.

He had thought that maybe Ye Shengxuan was just visiting him privately, but it seemed that he didn’t really care about the performance of local officials.

“Good day, Your Majesty.”

Zhuifeng was quite confused. Didn’t Ye Shengxuan say that he would need another day before he could come to the river town? This was actually quite a long way to go.

“Where is Concubine Xian?”

Ye Shengxuan brought a big pressure to Zhuifeng as he couldn’t believe that his imperial guardians would fail to collect some information even the Empress Dowager could get.

The only possibility would be the man standing in front of him refusing to report it.

“I have no idea, Your Majesty.”

With a bad feeling flashing through his mind, Zhuifeng stared at the floor closely as he didn’t dare to look at Ye Shengxuan.

“Shiao Qi!”

Zhuifeng was the subordinate of Shiao Qi. If Zhuifeng didn’t report the news he’d already acquired, Ye Shengxuan would definitely question his leader.

“I have no idea, Your Majesty!”

Shiao Qi wasn’t lying. Looking at Zhuifeng, he suddenly felt uncertain when he saw that Zhuifeng was staring at the floor all the time.

Although Ye Shengxuan was quite cold usually, he didn’t like killing people. Yet he also had his bottom line. He hated people who deceived him.

“You know you have been following me for so many years, and for the sake of that, I am giving you one last chance. Where is Concubine Xian?”

The fingertips of his two clenched fists were turning pale. Helian Chacha was in a brothel!

The Empress Dowager’s words haunted him, which made Ye Shengxuan felt strong suffocation spreading from the bottom of his heart.

“Your Majesty, that woman is no longer eligible for the title of Concubine Xian. I hope you can announce the death of Her Highness, otherwise, you will definitely become a joke of the world, Your Majesty!”

He had actually drafted a letter and was planning to send it to the imperial city sometime later.

The content of his letter was that Chu Jianmo had realized that they were chasing after him, so he decided to kill Helian Chacha directly. And he would kill Helian Chacha within 2 days as well because he was planning to bring her body back so that Ye Shengxuan’s hope would be banished for good.

“Are you telling me what to do?”

Getting up from his seat, Ye Shengxuan came to Zhuifeng directly.

He looked at Zhuifeng condescendingly, and his eyes turned even colder when he saw the sweat on Zhuifeng’s forehead.

“Which one?”

Without waiting for the answer from Zhuifeng, Ye Shengxuan held his chin directly and looked Zhuifeng in the eye. His eyes were filled with coldness as if they could freeze people instantly.

Zhuifeng clenched his teeth and didn’t want to look at Ye Shengxuan.

He had already sent some assassins there. After this night, Helian Chacha would no longer be a threat to Ye Shengxuan. He had to survive this night, even if death was waiting for him.

“Sir, there is an event tonight in Red Cherry Land. Do you want to go along with me?”

All of a sudden, there was a loud male voice coming from the outside.

The bureau officials were waiting in the outside, so that voice must be talking to them.

After a burst of fast steps, it went completely silent outside. However, when he heard the name of Red Cherry Land, the excitement Zhuifeng expressed had already answered Ye Shengxuan.

With the heating of strong internal power, Zhuifeng passed out right away.

“Your Majesty, you must not do that! Since we already know where Her Highness is, we should make a good plan. It would be really complicated if we accidentally alerted them.”

Shiao Qi stopped Ye Shengxuan who was about to rush out of the door. According to the reaction of Zhuifeng, he now understood what kind of place that Red Cherry Land was.

“Get in here!”

Ye Shengxuan shouted at the door.

A bureau official who was in his 40s staggered towards the inside after shivering for a while.

“Good day, Your Majesty.”

The official’s shoulders were still trembling as he had already secretly cursed the one who had just come here to invite him thousands of times.

“That Red Cherry Land, you are going there with me tonight. I am now a distant relative of yours.”

Not caring about the astonishment of that official, Ye Shengxuan just said that naturally.

“Your Majesty, but it is Red Cherry Land…”

“So what? Is there any place in this country that I am not allowed to visit?”

Ye Shengxuan interrupted the official, and he finally stopped staring at him when seeing that he was shaking his head insanely.

He swore that if Helian Chacha was hurt, even with just a little scratch, he would ask the entire Kingdom Qi to pay the price for Helian Chacha.

Shiao Qi had already dragged that stunned official out of the room. Since Ye Shengxuan had already made up his mind, then his task would be to protect Ye Shenxuan.

“Sir. Your Majesty?”

The official was still very confused. Ye Shengxuan had already taken the crown for so many years, and he had always enjoyed a good reputation among the ministers. Although there were many women in his harem, he still had no children. Some of them were suspecting that maybe Ye Shengxuan was actually gay.

“Go get yourself prepared. Remember, tonight, you are just going there with a distant relative of yours. If you were busted, you…”

He didn’t need to finish his sentence at all. An emperor going to a brothel, he was very certain that the official knew the seriousness of this matter.

Yet it was still hard for that official to believe that this was happening, even when he saw Ye Shengxuan in a scholar’s costume upon his departure.

Moreover, even if Ye Shengxuan changed a casual costume, his aura was still very powerful.

It was already well known in the river town that Red Cherry Land was going to have an event tonight. And Meiniang had already been informed that the bureau official was coming, so she had reserved a private room on the second floor for them.

However, she was praying all the time secretly that Helian Chacha’s plan would go well today and bring honor to Red Cherry Land in this river town. Otherwise, she didn’t know how to continue her business in the future.

The Red Cherry Land was one of the best brothels in the river town, and it attracted quite a lot of guests every day.

Now it was planning to have a big event, so all the seats were booked very early.

Looking at the group of people sitting in front of her, Meiniang only focused on Ye Shengxuan.

No need to mention that Ye Shengxuan was way better looking than ordinary people, his aura was too powerful to be ignored in the crowd.

“Sir, shall I get you some girls first?”

The official gave her a sign. If it was in the past, he would have already nodded. But this time, he was looking at Ye Shengxuan.

His action had just told Meiniang that the real identity of Ye Shengxuan must have been more complicated than a distant relative of his.

“Get out now.”

Not to mention that the woman had been looking at him for so long, the thick white powder on her face was disturbing enough for Ye Shengxuan. Just thinking of Helian Chacha being in a place like this, Ye Shengxuan felt so hurt.

Meiniang tried to say something else, but she was thrown out of the room by the threatening eyes of that official.

Rushing to the third floor, she had to make sure with Helian Chacha that her plan would not make any trouble.

Offending a figure bigger than the bureau official was never going to get a “Yes” from her.
