Chapter 81
“What’s wrong?”
Xian Sheng woke up immediately. He got up in a hurry and felt dizzy. He(ZZ) helped him up. Xian Sheng hurriedly asked, “Where’s the injury?”
“Met an assassin.” After making sure he was seated firmly, Zhan Zhen put his weight on one foot and raised his waist to show him: “It’s hurt here.”
There was a smell of blood. Xian Shen’s abdomen indistinctly felt uncomfortable. He wrinkled his nose and looked at it and said, “it’s quite deep. We have to ask the imperial doctor to come over.”
“Let Ruyi bring the medicine and you can help.”
Xian Sheng looked at his expression. Reluctantly, he got out of bed, asked Ruyi to fetch the gauze and said, “Aren’t you the best in the world in martial arts? Why are you like an amateur today?”
Zhan Zhen loosened his shirt and said, “It’s not my fault, it’s that Qingrong suddenly went crazy and came to block the sword. So, I got hurt trying to save her.”
Xian Sheng endured the discomfort and gave him medicine and he was a little suspicious after hearing this: “She blocked the sword?”
“Hmm” Zhan Zhen said: “I saved her, but she still doesn’t know why I pulled her hair. Is her hair more important than her life?”
Xian Sheng took gauze to wrap him around his waist and the smell of blood was covered. He ignored it, but his expression became even more suspicious: “You pulled her hair?”
“She turned her back on me to block the sword, so I pulled it easily.” Zhan Zhen looked at his expression and wondered if he had lost the manner of a gentleman, and said, “It wasn’t intentional.”
“Umm” Xian Sheng held back a smile and said: “Be gentle with girls, don’t be rude.”
Zhan Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, “I didn’t expose her trick, it’s gentle enough.”
“You ah.” To wrap the gauze around his waist and he opened his arms like hugging him. Xian Sheng focused on knotting the gauze. He was so close that you can see his drooping eyelashes: virtuous and gentle. When Zhan Zhen described him with these two words he felt a sense of sweetness and it made his heart itch. He couldn’t resist it and hugged him again. Xian Sheng gave him a kiss, held his elbow and said, “You don’t hurt anymore, do you?”
Zhan Zhen retracted his hue and said seriously: ” It hurts, it still hurts.”
“Then you should be honest during this time, don’t think about what you shouldn’t think about.”
“Which one should I not think about?”
“For example, me. You should not think about it. “
“It doesn’t hurt anymore…..“ Zhan Zhen kissed him again: “It doesn’t hurt when I think of you.”
When the two of them were laughing and joking, Qingrong was sitting in front of the bronze mirror combing her hair and when she combed off a large amount of hair. She was so livid that she pulled it with her hands, and her hair fell through her fingers.
Zhan Zhen’s hand was really merciless. He directly pulled up her hair and threw her aside. Qingrong slowly took a breath and her expression looked distorted.”
Empress Dowager walked over slowly and said, “Don’t think about it, Zhan Zhen was not a good match in the first place. He was like this when he was young. I often heard the Empress say that if he didn’t want to eat, he would vomit. He is so stubborn.”
“I was checking.” Qing Rong said, “How much does he like Xian Sheng? I also want to see if he has any affection for me. “
“Did you see it?”
“Saw it.” Qingrong looked at the hair falling in front of her and said, “Obviously it wasn’t like this when I was a child, but since I began to like him, he avoided me like snakes and scorpions, as if I would eat him.”
The Empress Dowager sat down on the chair and said, “He has high standards.”
“High standards, am I that bad?!” Qingrong burst into tears: “He didn’t say it, but I know that he thinks I don’t even deserve to like him, and that I like him is an insult to him!”
“Hey.” Empress Dowager sighed and said: “Why are you so infatuated with Zhan Zhen that you are even willing to be a concubine? But he really doesn’t want to marry and there is nothing that I can do. The emperor was not born to me, so I really can’t say anything.”
Suddenly there was movement outside, Qingrong turned her head to the side and soon a palace person came over and said, “It’s Princess A’Yin, who just passed by.”
Qingrong’s face was even colder and after a while she said, “Don’t worry, Empress Dowager, I won’t like him anymore.”
The imperial mausoleum is not like the palace, everyone lives in the same courtyard. Zhan Yin grinned and rubbed her knees and left Qingrong door and she jumped all the way to her brother’s door. It happens that a crack in the door is opened. She narrowed her eyes and looked and suddenly went silly.
Zhan Zhen was kissing Xian Sheng’s mouth when he suddenly noticed her sight. He turned his head and shouted, “Get out!
Zhan Yin returned to her senses , rolled away nimbly but suddenly came back and said: “I just heard, Qingrong and the imperial grandmother talking about you.”
“Don’t bother.”
Zhan Yin left, but Xian Sheng didn’t allow him to kiss him anymore. He covered Zhan Zhen’s mouth and said, “You said you want to send my brother away, but you have a plan?”
“When we go back from the Imperial Mausoleum, there will be news.”
“Is that true?”
“When did your husband ever lie to you?” Zhan Zhen kissed him again.
This time, because Emperor Jin was there, the Imperial Forest Army1The Imperial Forest Army, also known as the “Yulin Army”, was a special army that guarded the emperor, the royal family and the imperial city in ancient feudal dynasties would escort him. Qingrong walked out of the imperial mausoleum alone and was suddenly stopped by someone: “Princess, the mountain is dangerous. You’d better go back to your courtyard.”
“I want to relax.” Qingrong saluted and said,” I’ll just walk nearby and won’t go far.”
The other party paused and said: “If there is something wrong, just give a shout.”
“I will”
She walked out step by step, her eyes falling on the woods in front. She took a breath, slowly walked in and said, “Qin Yi, are you there?”
There was silence.
She said, “You went through fire and water2brave countless dangers;   brave untold danger for Xian Sheng, but now he is in love with Zhan Zhen. You can only watch it, because he is surrounded by iron armor3Closely protected, you can’t get close for a moment.”
She waited patiently, but there was still no movement in the forest.
She couldn’t help but be suspicious, could it be that Qin Yi is not there?
She repeated what she said just now.
No one responded.
Qing Rong’s face turned slightly green. Qin Yi is a ghost, even Zhan Zhen couldn’t find any trace of him, let alone herself.
“Qin Yi?!” She raised her voice, and finally heard some noise and a man fell from above, “Why are you looking for the city lord?”
Qin Yi is really not here?
Qingrong raised her head, recognized  the man as He Ermi, and forced herself to remain calm. She said: “Looks like your Zhelong City is really not that busy.”
He Ermi smiled and said, “The city lord has already taken care of everything before he came and the city officials and people will do their best to return his kindness.”
“Where is he?”
He Ermi looked at her hand, Qingrong felt a chill in her heart and heard him say, “You want to see him?”
“No need.”Qingrong cautiously said: “You can pass on the message for me.”
“Tell me”
“He may not know it, Xian Sheng has a secret.” Qingrong said: “He is a man.”
He Ermi narrowed her eyes, but he was slightly shocked. In an instant, a long sword suddenly flew towards her. Qingrong’s face turned pale and she staggered back. The sword was pinned to her ear.
Qin Yi’s figure swept over like a ghost and Qingrong’s throat suddenly squeezed. He had her in a chokehold and pinned her against the tree trunk.
His eyes were dark and gloomy and his whole body raging with a chilling fury, “How do you know.”
It is a question but his voice did not rise at the end and made it seem more and more terrifying. Qingrong barely breathed. She had already fought with Qin Yi. She knew that the man was a ruthless man, so she tried not to annoy him.
She observed Qin Yi’s expression and said, “What? You went through fire and water for him, and he didn’t even tell you such a thing?”
Qin Yi suddenly drew his sword, Qing Rong shrank in fright and her ears suddenly became cold, the sword was right next to her ear, “What I ask, you just answer. If you say one more word, I will cut off your ear.”
Qing Rong held her breath and heard him ask: “How did you find out?”
“Zhan Zhen ordered a man’s dress, it was the size of Xian Sheng.”
She knows that Qin Yi is not a fool. As long as she gives him a hint, Qin Yi can guess that Xian Sheng’s birthday is coming soon. If he pretends to be a woman, he will naturally desire to recover his status as a man. This man’s clothes are most likely a birthday gift.”
“That’s all?”
“More than that” Qing Rong said: “Xian Sheng didn’t have much contact with women. The queen invited him to soak in a bath but he always found an excuse not to go. Although he has been well read in poetry since childhood, he has such a delicate body and such temperament, but it is far beyond the reach of a weak woman.”
“Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?”
His eyes were still dark as ink and Qing Rong had the illusion that if she said anything wrong, she would die under his: “Never.”
Qin Yi fixedly looked at her . After a while, he suddenly turned around, leaped up and after a few jumps his silhouette disappeared. He Ermi turned his head and looked at her. Qingrong covered her neck and looked vigilant.
“You want to use him.” He Ermi had no smile on his face: “You will die.”
Qingrong suppressed her breathing and waited until He Ermi also left. She suddenly fell to the ground, trembling.
After a while, she calmed down and suddenly smiled. Qin Yi also believed it, which shows that this matter has some truth to it.  As long as Xian Sheng is a man, she can take advantage of the situation to avenge her father and brother.
“City Lord ” He Ermi followed Qin Yi and reminded him: “That is the reception mansion, not only the delegation there is also the Jin army.”.
“This is his secret.” Qin Yi held the long sword in his hand and said, “Xian Shang didn’t tell me the truth, it’s because he can’t trust me.”
“You have been holding back for so long for the princess. If you make a move at this moment, once there is trouble, Prince Shang will not be able to go back.”
“Then let him die here.”
“What if that woman is deceiving you?” He Ermi took a step and stopped him, saying: “You have been blaming yourself for the princess marrying to the Great Jin. If you kill her own brother at this moment, she will definitely hate you.”
Qin Yi clenched his fingers and the veins on the back of his hands jumped up. After a while, he said: “I want to clarify.”
The subordinates found an opportunity to call Tang Li out. If this is true, he must know.
Qin Yi’s Adam’s apple rolled and suddenly closed his body, his back against the wall. He took a breath and said:, “If it’s true…”
He didn’t go on, his throat seemed to choke.
He Ermi knew that he was not in a calm mood and even he was a little confused….. If Xian Sheng is a man… what happened to all those calculations of the city Lord all these years.
He carefully said: “City Lord, If this matter is true, will you let it go?”
Qin Yi suddenly looked sideways, his eyes were cold and fierce and murderous intent was overflowing, telling him to shut up
*
Xian Sheng sneezed.
“Have you caught a cold again?”
“My nose is a little itchy. ” Xian Sheng rubbed his nose, wrinkled again and said, “Let’s go back tomorrow afternoon. I want to talk with my brother more these days”
“Yes” Zhan Zhen said: “When we go back, your brother can leave.”
“What exactly are you planning?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Xian Sheng thought for a while, rubbed his head sweetly against him and said softly: “That’s great.”
“ What so great, you ought to pretend more these few days, it’s not good to wait until the royal father finds out to put up a scene. Without proof, it’s hard to deceive.”
“I………… feel shy”
“You are so thin-skinned, one day I’ll take you to the rooftop and do some exercise … Hiss!”
Xian Sheng stepped on him and said: “As for my husband, unexpectedly the wife has to protect herself. What’s the use of you?”
“ …you don’t have that ability, why are you blaming me? “
“It’s you who can’t!”
“You cutie” Zhan Zhen bit his soft face “I’ll widen your knowledge when we go back.”
