He shut himself up.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xu Ruolin raised his eyes with a madness in them that said, ‘If you scold me, I will drag all of you down with me’. He then asked, “Royal Consort, what did this junior say?”

Feeling like he couldn’t get himself out of this sticky predicament, Meng Huan began to hesitate. fjiw6d

Subconsciously, he turned to Lin Bozhou for help.

Then he remembered that he was looking at the target of his assassination.

“…”

Thus, he turned his head in the other direction.

I’m done for. How did I end up being the unreasonable one here? QAQ

The exhale by his ear was very light. Lin Bozhou closed his eyes and started going through and sorting things out for the youth. “At that time, Huan Huan was indeed drugged, and it was from the wine you and Lu Nanxing had brought in, so the culprit must be one of you two.”

Xu Ruolin hurriedly nodded and suddenly gasped at Lu Nanxing, “Nanxing! How dare you! Why would you set up Young Master Meng?!”

“……” eEDnpw

At a loss for words, Lu Nanxing’s lips turned even more pale.

—So, this is why one should never get close with people in a higher position than oneself, as one will become unfortunate.

He can refute, but it will never be useful. Zhenguanhou can suppress his father, and he can put pressure on the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Beizhen Fusi. Even if it is Lin Bozhou, he will not really kill Zhenguanhou’s son. Most of the nobles who offended the court.

He could refute it, but it wouldn’t do him any good. The Zhenguan Marquis could make things difficult for his father and even put pressure on the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Court of Judicial Review, and the Criminal Investigation Service. Even Lin Bozhou wouldn’t actually put the son of Zhenguan Marquis to death because it would offend most of the distinguished officials of the court. jdusPi

So, even if he denied it, what use was there?

If the matter was pursued and investigated, he would definitely become Xu Ruolin’s scapegoat.

On the other hand, if he didn’t refute, his father might even get promoted, trading his son’s life for trust and appreciation from the Zhenguan Marquis.

In this game where he was doomed to be sacrificed, Lu Nanxing felt extremely helpless. VIWY4N

This was when a clear voice sounded.

Meng Huan gently tugged Lin Bozhou’s sleeve. “Your Royal Highness.”

Meng Huan frowned, obviously wanting to say more but keeping his mouth tightly shut.

He looked very unhappy. SKbwYi

This caused Lin Bozhou to pause briefly.

Originally, he intended to incriminate the both of them, but it seemed that Meng Huan intended to protect Lu Nanxing.

Logically speaking, there was no need for Lu Nanxing to save his life, but… beside Meng Huan, he gently held his sleeve. Although he didn’t say it clearly, the intention of trusting and begging him was obvious.

In theory, there was no need to keep Lu Nanxing alive, but… beside him, Meng Huan was gently tugging on his sleeve. Although the youth wasn’t being explicit, his confidence in him and pleading towards him were obvious. kzdywS

Inexplicably, it felt like a part of his heart was crumbling.

He could take this one life at any time, so of course he could also save it at any time.

Since it would make Huan Huan happy, why not do it?

His voice became much gentler. K8Ndf6

He turned to Lu Nanxing. “You are Huan Huan’s childhood friend, so why would you deliberately harm him by drugging him? There must be some misunderstanding, right?”

“…”

Lu Nanxing suddenly looked up and gawked at Lin Bozhou.

Xu Ruolin’s eyes also changed, a little unbelievable, because Lin Bozhou’s tone meant…he didn’t want to kill Lu Nanxing. ztjMuY

There was also a change in the emotions in Xu Ruolin’s eyes, as they were filled with disbelief. Because, judging from Lin Bozhou’s tone… he didn’t intend to kill Lu Nanxing.

Lin Bozhou frowned and pondered, “Could it be that you all didn’t take enough care with the drug, mistakenly serving it, and Huan Huan just happened to drink it by accident?”

Dear lord. 

Lu Nanxing looked as if he had witnessed a miracle. ilakhK

Lin Bozhou was giving him an out.

He doesn’t have any friendship with the regent, and getting such an honor obviously comes from the young man next to Lin Bozhou. Lu Nanxing looked at Meng Huan, his eyes became hot, and he nodded desperately: “If you go back to the lord, it’s… a misunderstanding, it’s because the villain didn’t take good care of it.”

He had no friendship with the Prince Regent, so this special honor obviously came from the youth beside Lin Bozhou. He glanced at Meng Huan. As life came back to his eyes, he nodded in desperation. “Answering Your Royal Highness’s question, it was… a misunderstanding. It was indeed this humble one who did not safekeep the drug well.”

“…” PlObvo

Seeing that Lu Nanxing was out of danger, Meng Huan felt a little better.

But did this not mean his fight with Xu Ruolin meant nothing? Was he going to be left unpunished?

Meng Huan frowned once more and went back to tugging on Lin Bozhou’s sleeve.

“Your Royal Highness…” TqXf26

Feeling unhappy, he tugged again.

“Your Royal Highness…”

Xu Ruolin needed to be dealt with, right?

Just as he was about to murmur softly again, a pair of large hands clasped his hand, a large palm curbing his fussing. H nhzf

Lin Bozhou’s hands were one size larger than his, one hand being enough to encircle both of his hands and press them gently into his sleeves.

He hid them well, signaling to him: Huan Huan, be good. 

Lin Bozhou then looked at Xu Ruolin, his eyes turning slightly colder. “Xu Ruolin, you are the son of the Zhenguan Marquis.”

Xu Ruolin quickly nodded. “Responding to Your Royal Highness, yes.” 7IoZB9

“Marquis of Zhenguan, the honor of Da Zong is unmatched. But you are a prostitute in the street, and you bring aphrodisiacs and cause the princess to drink by mistake. Although this is a misunderstanding, I will ask him in person when I meet Marquis Zhenguan again. Who is this son? How did you teach it!”

“The Zhenguan Marquis is honorable without comparison, yet you visit prostitutes in the middle of the street and carry aphrodisiacs, causing the Royal Consort to mistakenly consume them. Although this was a misunderstanding, next time this Regent encounters the Zhenguan Marquis, this Regent will personally ask him how he has raised this son of his!”

Lin Bozhou suddenly took on a serious tone. “—This time, there was an aphrodisiac that the Royal Consort was allowed to drink by accident. If there’s poison next time, do you intend for this Regent to drink it by mistake?!”

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck. r1P0Fp

Xu Ruolin’s heart tensed as cold sweat abruptly dripped from his forehead.

He understood now.

Lin Bozhou knew the whole truth!

But he didn’t intend to take his life at all; he only wanted to give him a warning. O7MK1I

Xu Ruolin instantly kowtowed, splattering blood everywhere. “Your Royal Highness, this junior has erred. This junior was wrong; this junior shouldn’t have acted frivolously! Begging Your Royal Highness’s forgiveness!”

Meng Huan was completely dumbfounded, turning to look at Lin Bozhou.

He didn’t know how Lin Bozhou was able to twist this topic into a horror story with just a few words.

Lin Bozhou usually doesn’t talk much, and he speaks in a gentle tone to himself, but when facing the officials, every line, even the anger in his eyebrows and eyes, seems to be carefully planned, directly poking at the pain, making people feel the ultimate fear. zvuaEB

Usually, Lin Bozhou was a man of few words. He would speak with Meng Huan in a gentle tone, but when faced with ministers, every line, even the anger between his brows, seemed to be carefully crafted. He struck where it would hurt the most, bringing intense fear to everyone.

As expected from the master of manipulation.

Drenched in cold sweat, Xu Ruolin trembled. “Your Royal Highness, this junior will return and inform father of this and will come with father to the Regent’s compound to apologize! Begging that Your Royal Highness be merciful!”

Lin Bozhou showed annoyance. “Worthless brat, why haven’t you dismissed yourself?!” ebOidp

This was the tone for reprimanding an aristocrat.

Xu Ruolin, supported by his burly servants, kowtowed again before he fucked off in haste.

The scene fell into silence again now that the dispute had been resolved.

Meng Huan looked up, staring dazedly at Lin Bozhou. TQr3SL

He felt that things seemed to have become more complicated, but he could not see the complicated layer, only feeling as if he had missed something.

Lin Bozhou’s voice became less irritable, he raised his hand, and gently patted his hair: “Tomorrow, his father will come to the palace to apologize. As for how to deal with Xu Ruolin, it depends on whether his father is smart enough.”

Lin Bozhou’s voice became less irritable as he raised his hand and gently brushed the youth’s hair. “Tomorrow, his father will come to the compound to apologize. As for how Xu Ruolin would be dealt with, it will depend on whether his father is smart enough.”

Xu Ruolin had dared to try in vain to assassinate Lin Bozhou. If it were not for the usual teachings of the Zhenguan Marquis, it would be impossible for him to give birth to such a vicious idea. 65dr1e

Lin Bozhou was just deliberately showing a bit of his strength as a warning to get it through the son and father’s skulls that he could see through all of their movements and not to think they were being smart.

Meng Huan hummed and nodded. “Your Royal Highness, thank you for your judgment.”

Lin Bozhou seemed to chuckle.

The shallow exhale fell on Meng Huan’s ear. It was different from the rage against Xu Ruolin just now, and instead, the usual warmth of the man’s breath was mixed with the heat from his clothes. qNZE9g

“Huan Huan, is your hand hurting?”

He leaned closer to speak, letting Meng Huan catch the faint scent of alcohol.

“No.” Meng Huan then asked his own question, “Did Your Royal Highness drink?”

Lin Bozhou replied affirmatively, “Only some. When I heard about what happened to Huan Huan, I rushed here first.” XY4N 9

Meng Huan blinked. “Then will Your Royal Highness go back and continue drinking?”

“I don’t want to drink with them,” Lin Bozhou held him, looking at him quietly with a dim light in his eyes, “Huanhuan drinks with my husband alone, okay?”

“I don’t want to drink with them anymore.” Lin Bozhou held his hand and quietly met his eyes with a gaze that contained a dim light. “Huan Huan alone drinks with this husband. Is that alright?”

Meng Huan seemed to pick up something from the man’s slightly husky voice. n6rOAI

Lin Bozhou tonight… seemed to want him again.

The author has something to say:

Yay, drinking together! Get drunk and lose self-control… (mouth gets covered)

Oh, how His Royal Highness wished to experience the same scene as their first time, when Huan Huan coquettishly called him hubby! However! This was impossible with a clear-headed Huan Huan! 5mcoE
