70. His Majesty Was Not Alright

 

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

 

The old man’s face suddenly changed. Serving as the imperial prosecutor in Xuanyuan Kingdom for two generations in a row, he definitely knew who this young man in front of him actually was.

But since he had already found Helian Chacha, it was totally impossible for him to give up.

“Good day, Your Majesty!”

He didn’t bow to him actually. He was a bit taller than Helian Chacha, so he could easily cover her. But if he bowed, it would be more possible for them to see her.

Manyue and the others also looked quite upset as it took them an entire decade to find her, so they would definitely not give up the opportunity even if it meant they had to start an ugly fight.

“Wait for me outside.”

Ye Shengxuan leaned his head and waved his hand while looking at Shiao Qi who had been protecting him closely.

“Your Majesty!”

Shiao Qi tried to talk to him but was stopped directly by the strong pressure of Ye Shengxuan.

“I would like to talk to you alone, Minister Feng. Shall we?”

Ye Shengxuan looked at the old man. His hand in the sleeve was holding the fan very tight.

He had planned to bring Helian Chacha back to the imperial palace at all costs, but as for now, it seemed that his plan needed some changes.

“You guys, go guard the gate.”

“If anyone dares to say a word…”

The old man didn’t finish his sentence at all. After working undercover in the Red Cherry Land for 5 years, Manyue knew the rules here very well.

If Qi Kingdom wanted to intervene in this, he would definitely reject them.

The door was closed again.

Helian Chacha didn’t follow the others to go out but remained standing closely behind the old man.

Somehow she always felt that Ye Shengxuan sounded really terrifying, and that made her dare not come closer to him.

“Yuan’er, you still want to hide from me?”

Ye Shengxuan looked at the old man in the eyes, yet he was talking to Helian Chacha behind him.

With a bitter smile flashing through her heart, Helian Chacha finally stretched out her head from behind the old man.

Now she really wanted to cry out as she had just realized she was a princess, so she didn’t want to go back to the palace with that ice-cold man before she could enjoy being a princess for one minute.

Just thinking of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun in the palace, Helian Chacha felt a strong feeling of resistance.

“Hi, Your Majesty! Long time no see!”

Helian Chacha gave him a bitter smile, but she was holding the sleeve of the old man subconsciously as if she was a little kid who was afraid of being abandoned.

“Hi?”

Ye Shengxuan leaned his head as he felt he could always hear some new words coming out of Helian Chacha’s mouth.

“Greetings, just greetings. What do you want to tell me then, Your Majesty?”

Helian Chacha hid deeper behind the old man once again.

“Don’t worry, Princess. What’s behind you right now is the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom.”

The old man said slowly and it encouraged Helian Chacha directly.

A princess against an emperor? Maybe a princess could still not combat an emperor. Helian Chacha’s smile was frozen again.

“Don’t be joking, Minister Feng. What I am trying to tell you right now is that I hope you can bring Yuan’er back to Xuanyuan, and protect her all along the way.”

Ye Shengxuan bowed his head a little bit down. It was the first time that he talked to someone in a nearly begging way ever since he had become the prince.

Both the old man and Helian Chacha was shocked. It was definitely the first time that they saw Ye Shengxuan behaving like that.

“So you mean you would like to let our Princess leave this country?”

He felt a bit uncertain as he believed Ye Shengxuan knew clearly how much he could benefit from taking a kingdom princess as his hostage.

“I have to ask you to do me this favor, Minister Feng. When the imperial palace is stable, I’ll definitely go to Xuanyuan Kingdom and bring her back with the highest courtesy.”

Ye Shengxuan’s eyes were burning, and he had just made up his mind to let Helian Chacha go back to Xuanyuan.

The old man in front of him was actually the main pillar of Xuanyuan Kingdom.

It would be too dangerous for Helian Chacha to stay in the imperial palace of Ling Kingdom, so he had to eliminate all the other factors before he could bring Helian Chacha back again.

“Hey! I haven’t decided to marry you yet! How come you can decide to pick me up or not?”

Somehow Helian Chacha felt a bit upset when she heard that Ye Shengxuan planned to send her to Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Although she almost lost her life a few times because of Ye Shengxuan and she even put poison in his food occasionally, facing such a sudden departure, Helian Chacha still felt as if she was abandoned by him.

“You and I are already married, and you shall never belong to anyone else in your life! Besides, if someone dares to touch you, I’ll kill him for sure!”

His strong power as an emperor was fully expressed. Minister Feng squinted his eyes and then nodded with satisfaction.

“We will leave the Ling Kingdom in an hour. I will go away now, Princess.”

Minister Feng reckoned that it would be better to let the young ones solve their problem themselves, so he decided to leave them alone.

Without the protection in the front, Helian Chacha was facing Ye Shengxuan directly now, so she felt an invisible pressure coming to her from the inside.

How was she supposed to explain the elopement with Chu Jianmo to him?

“Ehm… if everything is fine then I’ll just go and pack my stuff now. It is a long way to go so I guess I need to prepare a lot of things…”

She gave him a big smile as the only idea Helian Chacha could come up with right now was to fool him around.

She tried to pass Ye Shengxuan and rush to the door at the fastest speed, but she was held by Ye Shengxuan before she could even reach the door frame.

“Why did you leave with him? Which part of me is not as good as his?”

Holding Helian Chacha tightly, Ye Shengxuan almost buried his whole head into the neck of Helian Chacha.

Different from the cold person he’d appeared to be in the past, Ye Shengxuan at the moment was just like a badly-hurt kid.

“Well… cough… you’re strangling me… let go!”

Helian Chacha was so surprised. The instinct of a 21st-century woman told her that she’d better not mess up with Ye Shengxuan right now.

“Where do I hurt you?”

Ye Shengxuan let go of her immediately and looked at Helian Chacha worriedly. Just the thought of her leaving him made him feel his heart was being crushed.

“Well, it was just…Chu Jianmo told me that there were delicious cookies in the river town, so I followed him here.”

Helian Chacha’s voice was so small, but Ye Shengxuan heard each of her words clearly.

“If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me. There is no food that I can’t obtain in the world!”

Although he knew that Helian Chacha was lying, Ye Shengxuan still felt a bit consoled.

Now she was not with Chu Jianmo, so it meant there must have been some problems between them. But he didn’t care about it at all.

“What if I want a piece of flesh from you, Your Majesty?”

Helian Chacha rolled her eyes as she tried to break the embarrassment by making a joke, or maybe she could piss Ye Shengxuan off once again. Anyway, Ye Shengxuan gave her a weird feeling at the moment.

Ye Shengxuan frowned and looked all over at himself from head to toe, he then stared at Helian Chacha seriously.

“Which part do you want to eat, Yuan’er?”

“I was on my way yesterday, so I didn’t take a shower. You can think of which part you’d like to have, and then I’ll let them wash it clean and send it to you.”

Ye Shengxuan looked so serious. But both of them didn’t realize that he had already unconsciously quitted calling her by titles when talking to Helian Chacha.

Looking at Ye Shengxuan’s move, Helian Chacha was so stunned. Was this man insane?

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”
