Chapter 45: The Necessary Conditions of an Invisible Attraction.
How To Survive as a Villain
General Sun was really stunned at first, then his face became gloomy and he rushed out in a hurry.
Fighting?! The Emperor is still here! These young brats, do they want to die!
Xiao YuAn followed closely, hurrying to keep up with him.
Fighting?! Is it really so interesting? Then letâs go and watch the fun!
The two of them rushed to the courtyard and found that Xie Chunguiâs arms were tightly held by Li Wuding, he couldnât move at all. Li Wuding helplessly said: âAll right? The victory has been decided.â
Xie Chungui gritted his teeth fiercely. While struggling to break free, he managed to turn around and punched up. But Li Wuding evaded it easily, he held the fist, twisted it, and then pressed Xie Chungui to the ground.
General Sunâs face went blue: âLi Wuding!! What are you doing!! What is this scandal? What is this scandal ah!!!â
Li Wuding panicked and quickly released Xie Chungui, then he knelt on the ground: âYour Majesty, General Sun, Iâ¦..â
Without leaving him to finish his words, Xie Chungui knelt beside him: âYour Majesty, General Sun, I was the one that insisted General Li on fighting.â
This was, in fact, the truth. Originally, Li Wuning planned to go straight home, but he was suddenly interrupted by someone.
âAre you General Li?â Xie Chungui looked at him with surprise and fear in his eyes.
âYou areâ¦â Li Wuding was suspicious.
After Xie Chungui introduced himself, Li Wuding suddenly realized something: âXie Chungui, I know you.â
âY-you know me?â Xie Chingui was extremely happy.
âI met you when you were 10 years old. Damn, I actually went to your house just to drink wedding wine.â Li Wuding chuckled, his face was majestic, and although he was laughing, it wasnât with a bad intention.
Xie Chungui gathered courage, took Li Wudingâs arm, and excitedly said: âLi, General Li, Iâve admired you for such a long time! I want to be your deputy!!!â
Li Wuding was stunned at first, he rubbed his head and smiled embarrassedly. Actually, he looked quite silly: âAlright, alright, but my deputies can beat me. You have to work hard.â
Li Wuding spitted nonsense and the young man was completely excited at once. After patting his shoulder for encouragement, he was ready to leave once again.
Who would have thought that Xie Chungui wouldnât let him go just like that. Instead, he started to fight with him without uttering a word!
After listening to the explanation, Xiao YuAn asked Xie Chungui with wide eyes: âDo you admire him?â
Xie Chungui nodded firmly.
Xiao YuAn was so startled that he almost bit his tongue off.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
How can Xie Chungui admire Li Wuding!!!
In the original book, the intersection between them was during the half-month of Xie Chunguiâs guarding the Northern Kingdom border. Li Wuding, the traitor, sent someone to persuade him to surrender like he did.
Xie Chungui looked up at the sky with a smile, then he laid down and gave up with a sigh: âGo back and tell Li Wuding, that man, that as long as Iâm alive, I will never let the enemyâs cavalry step foot into the Northern Kingdomâs territory. The hypocrites that dare to disturb the morale of the troops are disgusting, go!â
Now looking at this, if Xie Chungui admired Li Wuding ever since he was a child, this is actuallyâ¦a little bit sad???
Seeing that Xiao YuAn wasnât upset, General Sun angrily scolded Li Wuding with a few words, and then let him take his leave. Li Wuding saluted with a fist1, got up and walked for a few steps, but then, he suddenly returned: âYour Majesty, General Sun, the youngest son of Xieâs family has an extraordinary military force, and I happen to lack a deputy, so I beg His Majesty to allow him to become my deputy!â He expressed his thoughts.
What happened?
The plot of these two is going in the opposite direction. If you contain them in the same place, what will happen next is truly a mystery!
What a decadent moral!
Itâs indeed a paradoxical situation!
Really â¦
Itâs so amusing!
Xiao YuAn nodded: âYes!â
Xiao YuAn returned to the Palace from the Generalâs official residence, but instead of directly going to the Imperial bedchamber, he went towards the secondary room.
Usually, most of the Imperial Guards donât often live in the Palace, so thatâs why they take turns. But the Imperial Bodyguards are different, they have to be around the Emperor all the time.
The secondary room is not as fancy as the Jing Yang Palaceâs wing rooms. This one is simple and clean, but itâs comfortable to live in.
Xiao YuAn knocked on the door, but no one answered after a long time.
Xiao YuAn snorted in surprise and decided to go back to the Imperial bedchamber. But after walking a few meters away from the secondary room, he stopped.
At the entrance of the Imperial bedchamber, there were several Imperial bodyguards, and Xiao YuAn stared at one of them.
As if feeling that he was looking at him, Yan HeQing turned his head and stared back.
He was wearing a soldier uniform with red lapels, a three-finger wide belt that had a pattern of burning clouds, and black boots. His black silk-like hair was tied in a high ponytail, giving him an imposing aura that was out of the ordinary. And between his eyebrows, is the boundless wind and the moon.
Xiao YuAn suddenly began to worry about the little girls in the Palace. Although they havenât reached the second half of the story, Yan HeQinâs face value is completely against the rules!! Xiao YuAn smiled at Yan HeQing in a friendly way, and Yan HeQing suddenly looked away.
Ah? Whatâs wrong with him?
Xiao YuAn, who didnât know what just happened, walked over to the door of the Imperial bedchamber. When the Imperial bodyguards saw that the Emperor came back, they knelt down in unison. Xiao YuAn said with a smile that the comrades had been working hard, and then glanced at Yan HeQing two more times. As a result, he was able to notice that the sleeve of his right hand was slightly turned up, forming an unsightly fold.
Xiao YuAn passed by the several Imperial bodyguards that were kneeling and bowing their heads. When he walked to Yan HeQingâs side, he made sure that no one was paying attention to him. Then, he reached out quietly and fixed his sleeve for him. After that he put his hand behind his back and continued walking towards his bedchamber.
If Xiao YuAn turned around at this instant, he wouldâve been able to see that Yan HeQing pursed his mouth and bent the corner of his mouth shallowly.
Ever since she didnât need to take charge of the Jing Yang Palace, Hong Xiu was able to take care of everything in serving Xiao YuAn. But in recent days, her work was full of mistakes, she looked very absent-minded.
Early this morning, when Xiao YuAn touched the cold water inside the basin, he asked Hong Xiu: âWhatâs wrong Hong Xiu, are you sick?â
Hong Xiuâs face turned pale, she then knelt on the ground: âThis maidservant was careless, I beg His Majesty to punish me.â
Xiao YuAn quickly helped her up: âGet up quickly. If youâre sick, then hurry up and go to the Taiyi hall to get checked. â
Hong Xiu shook her head: âAnswering to His Majesty, Hong Xiu is not ill.â
âSo why have you been so anxious and preoccupied recently?â
Hong Xiu bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly looked up: âYour Majesty, Hong Xiu has something to ask for.â
Xiao YuAn said softly and gently: âDonât worry.â
âYour Majesty, a few days ago this maidservant received a message from outside the Palace that my sister is seriously ill. This maid⦠this maidservant wanted to go out of the Palace to see her.â Hong Xiu lowered her head.
She held her head with both hands, anxiously waiting for the answer.
There was an unwritten rule in this deep Palace: the maids that enter the Palace can never leave it. After all, their duty is to always serve the Princess and the Emperor. If they leave the Palace thereâs three things to be afraid of. The first one is that the secrets of the Palace will be leaked outside, the second one is that they will be bought by someone with bad intentions, and the third one is that theyâre not able to stand the loneliness of the deep Palace, so they will run away.
Hong Xiu didnât hold any hope at all. Xiao YuAn suddenly slapped the table and scared her all over: âDonât be angry Your Majesty, this maidâ¦â
âWhy didnât you say that your sister was ill earlier? You should go back and see her as soon as possible. Yes, wait a moment, Iâll give you a hand. Go to the Taiyi Hall and take an Imperial Physician with you to see your sister.â Xiao YuAn said while looking for paper and ink.
Hong Xiu heard Xiao YuAnâs words with a stunned face, and then her eyes became red and choked with sobs: âThank you, Your Majesty.â
When she was at the age of 18, as the oldest daughter, she didnât hesitate to enter the Palace for the sake of her siblings. Five years had passed since then, and she knew that she would be buried in this cold deep Palace her whole life.
But now it seems that she doesnât regret it.
On the afternoon of the same day, Hong Xiu left the Palace with the Emperorâs written instructions with her. That night though, Xiao YuAn wasnât surprised to find himself withâ¦.
Insomnia.
