Chapter 187 - Tribute to the Ear

"Xiao Qingqian, you're done!" Wei Qing stared with her pair of scarlet eyes, and spat out a few words while clenching her teeth. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Since the wangfei is angry with this king, then this king will leave first!"

Watching his back as it gradually disappeared into the distance, Wei Qing picked up a medicine bowl and threw it towards his back.

Xiao Qingqian did not turn his head, but his body nimbly shifted to the side, and the medicine bowl fell on the ground, emitting a clear sound.

Wei Qing was furious, it was her own business whether or not she liked Chu Yin, when did she need him to run over and criticize her?

Also, even if she and Chu Yin were unable to get together in the end, it would be enough if they loved each other.

But why was his heart in such pain?

Wei Qing pressed down on her chest with all her might, wanting to suppress the pain that was growing more and more suffocating.

Wei Qing pursed her lips and walked out. She also picked up a leaf and placed it near her mouth.

She really did try her best to blow out a sound. However, other than the sound of "pu pu", she really couldn't!

Staring at the leaf in his hand, Wei Qing felt that it must have been something that she had plucked herself.

She hurriedly plucked another leaf, but she was still unable to blow it out.

Very quickly, the ground was littered with many leaves, and Wei Qing, as if all her soul had been sucked out of her, sat on the ground.

All of these things did not escape Xiao Qingqian's line of sight. He gripped his hands tightly under his sleeves as his previous thoughts became more and more intense.

"Someone, come!" he called in a deep voice.

"What orders does the Prince have?" The Dark Guard appeared behind him like a phantom.

"Do as This King has instructed!"

"But Your Highness, this is no small matter after all!" The hidden guard still tried to persuade him, but Xiao Qingqian's mind was already made up.

This was the only chance he had to completely kick Chu Yin out of the competition, and also the only chance he had to make Wei Qing's heart fall entirely on his shoulders!

Clenching his hand tightly, he placed the jade thumb ring on his palm. It was extremely painful, but it was still not enough to stop his heart from aching!

Chu Yin kept on boasting, and he believed that Wei Qing could hear him.

However, he did not receive a response for a long time. The fire of hope that had been rising in his heart slowly died down.

Could it be that Wei Qing had fallen asleep?

Otherwise, why had he not responded to her yet?

Footsteps came closer and closer. He frowned and looked over, and coincidentally saw Xiao Qingqian's pair of black pupils.

"Seventh Prince is so elegant!" Xiao Qingqian said in ridicule.

"Why did Prince Chu come here so late in the night?"

"The Royal Concubine is currently studying the medicinal prescription. She really doesn't have the spare energy to deal with the Seventh Prince!"

The veins on Chu Yin's forehead suddenly bulged twice, stopping his motion of blowing on the leaves, which allowed him to congeal Xiao Qingqian in an instant. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))

"The relationship between the wangfei and this prince is getting better and better. I hope that the Seventh Prince won't ruin it as he pleases!"

"Xiao Qingqian!"

After Chu Tiange's reminder, Chu Yin now knew that the reason why Wei Qing did not give any reaction to the short note that he had given was because Xiao Qingqian had obstructed his way. As a result, in the midst of his rage, he shouted out even with his name.

Xiao Qingqian only slightly creased his brow, as if he did not take Chu Yin seriously at all.

Chu Yin's hands tightened little by little, and the leaves were crushed as well.

"Seventh Prince, you coveting this duke's consort is truly unkind!"

Chu Yin did not try to cover up his ridicule, "Prince Chu, if you do well, even if this prince covets you, you will not feel threatened!"

"Seventh Prince made a mistake." He wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, but rather, he was afraid of thieves missing! Now that the Seventh Prince had returned to the South Kingdom, after the disaster had ended, he would definitely be crowned king. This marriage wasn't something that you could decide on your own! This King can let go, but with the attitude of being responsible for the princess, this duke would like to ask, "What can you give the princess?"

His question stunned Chu Yin for a moment.

In reality, this trip back to the Southern Kingdom was extremely dangerous. Before he had even returned to the capital of the Southern Kingdom, he had encountered countless ambushes.

If he returned to the capital, there would definitely be more schemes and tricks involved.

He himself didn't know what the outcome would be, so how could he promise Wei Qing anything?

"You can't give anything to this king's wangfei. You can't even give her the identity of a legal wife! If a woman becomes a concubine, then she will be the stain of her life. No matter how much she is doted upon, she will never be able to make it to the top! "

Tian Sisi had been like this back then. No matter how much he had doted on her back then, the only person who could accompany him to such a grand occasion in the palace feast was still Wei Qing alone.

Chu Yin's mouth opened and closed twice, yet he could not utter a single word.

For the first time, he was attracted to a woman and wanted to walk with her, but what he was about to face seemed impossible to think about, and he could not promise her more.

"Seventh Prince, life is only a matter of a few decades. There isn't much you can give her. For the past twenty years or so, you have used her as a form of dignity. For the next few years, you will definitely use her to build your career.

You probably don't even know what the end result will be. If that's the case, then why did you pull her into the water? "

Each of Xiao Qingqian's words left him with no way to refute it.

"If you really care about her, then don't disturb everything she has right now, and don't give her even the slightest bit of hope. That would be the best thing for her!"

He was very clear in his heart about what he should do, there was no need for Xiao Qingqian to order everyone around here!

"Seventh Prince, your words are too kind. If you really are doing this for Qing`er, then you should bless this duke and her so that they can live together forever!" If you are willing to let go, then this king can promise to help you obtain what you want! "

— Help you get what you want.

Wei Qing's mind resounded these words over and over again, the center of her palm was overflowing with sweat.

What would A Yin choose?

Chu Yin glared at Xiao Qingqian with his eyes filled with a layer of dense fog, making it impossible for others to know what he was thinking at this moment.

At this moment, the surroundings were abnormally quiet. It was as if time had stopped.

Wei Qing was waiting for his answer, while Chu Yin was pondering about the answer, on the other hand, Xiao Qingqian was the most relaxed of them all.

He believed that after Wei Qing heard these words, he would make the most sensible decision.

After all, people tend to avoid danger!

In the end, Chu Yin didn't say anything. He only raised his head to look at the scattered stars in the sky, then turned and left.

Looking at his back figure, Wei Qing's heart tightened into a knot.

Why didn't he answer?

Was he at a loss as to how to answer, or was the throne more important in his heart?

Wei Qing pressed her back against the tree trunk, raised her head, and pulled the corner of her mouth towards the dark sky.

That's right, he was about to be married to Princess Yue, so how could he possibly put so much energy into himself?

Heh …
