Chapter 243: Qi Cheng Who Had it Coming to Him

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Qi Cheng said as if he was unconscious, “By the way, Brother Qingye, there is the news from the palace that it was because Ke Nuo who suddenly appeared on the bed of the South Kingdom Prince and forced Ke Ruan by death that Ke Ruan agreed with Ke Nuo about the marriage with Yu Xin.”

There was a flicker of malice in Qi Cheng’s eyes. ‘See? She just got to bed with other men at such a young age who is uncouth and disgusting as her brother!’

As expected, when he heard Qi Cheng’s words, Lin Qingye was stunned and asked again as if he was disbelieving it, “Is what you say true?”

Qi Cheng nodded solemnly. “That’s true, the news coming through won’t be wrong.”

Lin Qingye murmured, “Why didn’t His Majesty tell me?”

Qi Cheng snorted coldly. ‘It’s a scandal. How could he dare speak it out loud?’

However, in order to maintain his kindness in front of Brother Qingye, Qi Cheng certainly wouldn’t speak it out.

After all, as long as the thing was related to Ke Ruan, he would definitely be unconditionally rejected.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Brother Qingye suddenly lowered his voice, which seemed to be part heartache, part self-criticism.

“Why does His Majesty refuse to tell me? Is it becasue he is afraid that I’ll get worried?”

Qi Cheng, who was thinking it wrong, felt confused.

“Is His Majesty very sad now?”

Qi Cheng, who only wanted to tarnish Ke Ruan’s reputation by disgracing Ke Nuo, looked puzzled.

“It’s all my fault. I should stay with His Majesty. If I were here, something like this certainly wouldn’t have happened.”

Qi Cheng looked so speechless that he couldn’t make any expression.

Lin Qingye was still worried about Ke Ruan. But Qi Cheng’s beautiful face was contorting at a visible speed.

His behavior of shaming Ke Nuo just resulted in shooting himself in the foot.

He had clearly thought that he would definitely fail if he talked about the things of Ke Ruan. How couldn’t he have thought that no matter what or who he was talking about, it would be useless as long as the things he mentioned was related to Ke Ruan

It was a misstep.

Qi Cheng took a deep breath. He couldn’t be angry or there would be a big problem.

‘You’re really a swine, Ke Ruan.’

Qi Cheng tried his best to adjust his facial expression. He was creating the public persona that he was infatuated with him. Only then could he get Brother Qingye’s concern.

He tried hard to warn himself several times before softly comforting him, “Brother Qingye, rest assured. The die is cast and we have no other choice.”

Lin Qingye sighed. ‘Granted, there is no way to retrieve the situation. Nuonuo has already gotten married.’

He sighed emotionally. The little thing who was still small in his mind and liked keeping pestering him would get married now.

“I got it, you can leave.”

Qi Cheng looked at him again and saw that Brother Qingye’s spirits suddenly lifted again. He smiled. Lin Qingye in this spirit was his real Brother Qingye.

He nodded and said, “Then I’ll go out first. Brother Qingye, you should rest early.”

Lin Qingye didn’t replied that Qi Cheng was waiting for, but his footsteps became light.

As soon as he drew back the tent flap, Qi Cheng heard the faint voice behind him. Fortunately, he had been a practitioner of martial arts, and even if the voice was low, he could hear it clearly.

And the voice was full of determination, “Since I’m not with His Majesty to help him, I will clear all the decks for His Majesty here.”

Qi Cheng tightened his grip on the tent flap and his face with a smile darkened. After a slight pause, he strode out.

The footsteps were heavy and there were deep footprints after each step.

The soldier originally wanted to respectfully greet him, but he saw Qi Cheng’s gloomy face and the sinister aura around him.

Not to mention stepping forward and greeting him, all of them just went about their business gingerly, being afraid that they would anger him.
