Disobedient Minister Against Favors - Chapter 16

Liu Yuzhen’s heart dropped. Emperor Yan seems to have spotted him, so why didn’t he expose him but instead have him attend them tonight?

He finally understood what Yuelan meant by being the monarch’s pet, and this being a night attendant was definitely not a good thing for him.

He definitely won’t go.

Fortunately, Young Master Ning Xiang seemed to have the same dissatisfaction as him. Ning Xiang held Emperor Yan’s arm and said, “Your Majesty, Ning Xiang has waited so long to get your time to accompany me. Do you want people to interfere with our alone time?”

“How could it get in the way?” Emperor Yan’s tone was firm. He had always been a man of his words and no one dared to defy him. But Ning Xiang was indeed wary of the maidservant, and decided that it was not advisable for Emperor Yan to come into contact with the said person too much. “Well, let her retire when the candle is extinguished.”

The matter was easily settled by the two people. Liu Yuzhen had no chance to refuse. He always kept his head down and didn’t speak. 

Look what this bastard was doing! He really must leave this instant!

After Ning Xiang walked away, Emperor Yan ordered someone to bring the battered Xiao Zipei down. Zipei was still very young after all, and the whip wounds didn’t appear to be serious. However, these wounds and bruises that seemed superficial actually brought great heavy internal injuries.

Yuzhen disliked this kind of unreasonable physical punishment the most. He was about to help Zipei who was unstable on his feet in a hurry, when Emperor Yan passed by and whispered in his ears, “If you dare to approach Xiao Zipei, this King will immediately dismiss him. Liu Yuzhen, you’d better follow this King obediently and don’t walk around. Your life depends on your behavior right now.” 

“Are you threatening me?” Liu Yuzhen couldn’t stand him. He was sick and tired of Emperor Yan. He didn’t appear to have done anything that would infuriate him at the moment! If he was really upset about him bullying Young Master Ningxiang at that time, he should just confront him. Why place the blame on someone who is both handy and innocent? Apart from his previous life’s captain, no one can just nonchalantly threaten him.

The malevolence in Liu Yuzhen’s eyes fell directly into Emperor Yan’s sight. This was a hostile look. Oh, when did Liu Yuzhen learn to be spiteful towards him?

Emperor Yan was stunned for a while. He didn’t respond to his question but the corners of his mouth curled up. Just when Ning Xiang’s figure was about to disappear from view, he suddenly noticed Liu Yuzhen’s exposed leg, and his blood suddenly rushed to one place. Those thin white and slender legs. He had touched them countless times, but none of those times were like now. His animal blood was boiling over and over again. “Liu Yuzhen!” he growled.

Liu Yuzhen was taken aback by his roar, as if he had stepped on a landmine. “What?” 

Whether it was his status or his handsome and mighty image, Emperor Yan was always the focus of everyone here. He can’t rebuke others for talking to Liu Yuzhen, but he was very much concerned about everyone looking at this beautiful leg! “How did you wear your clothes? If you don’t change this thing, this King will let everyone here dig their own eyes out.”

“I didn’t…..You!” Liu Yuzhen couldn’t stand his unreasonable vexatiousness, glared at him, and put on a more wretched expression than before. He almost had the urge to kick Emperor Yan away. He then realized that his voice was too loud just now. He stopped and whispered, “Are you sick? Why do you always target me? Why do you care if I wear the wrong clothes? Are you my mother?”

“What……?”

Liu Yuzhen doesn’t really care much about what the insane Emperor Yan says, he didn’t know what drugs he’d been taking or if he had taken any. Although he was in Prime Minister Liu’s body, this is still wrong. Someone hurry and perform a gastric lavage on this person, ah!

(t/n Gastric lavage is the administration and evacuation of small volumes of liquid through an orogastric tube to remove toxic substances within the stomach.)

It was not until he watched them help Xiao Zipei onto a carriage from a distance that Liu Yuzhen walked to Young Master Ning Xiang’s chamber with relief.

Although this Anning Pavilion was completely incomparable to the Emperor’s chamber, it was still a hundred times better than the cold palace where he was kept and chained. The last afterglow of the sunset was obscured by the thick trees, and the Anning Pavilion fell into night earlier than outside. On the winding corridor that only allowed two people to pass side by side, the maids led him to Young Master Ning Xiang’s chamber.

The outside of the corridor was full of purple flowers like lavender. The stems were thin and long, about half the height of someone’s body, and the fragrance was pleasant.

Liu Yuzhen didn’t know anything romantic, but being able to lie and sleep in a thick bush of flowers was his dream since he joined the army. He couldn’t help but glance at it more.

“Hurry up! This King has no patience.”

“Tsk.” Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Yuzhen, who would chew his tongue when he was angry, chewed it while still wearing a beautiful face without any scruples, looking exceedingly crude. If it was before, his captain would definitely punish him by doing push-ups if he was ever caught. However he doesn’t listen to just anyone’s orders except his captain, so don’t expect him to listen to Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan, who was still in a dragon robe, was leaning on the door frame. He seemed to be talking to someone while gesturing around with his hands. Liu Yuzhen wondered who he’s talking to.

Several palace maids walked into the room while Young Master Ning Xiang was taking a rose bath in the tub. When Liu Yuzhen saw this, he immediately complained in his heart. Is it really possible for a big man to take this kind of a bath? Are you fucking sure you’re still a man?

Then, what now? Do they want this police officer to wipe this gentleman? Because he certainly doesn’t mind rubbing a layer of skin off of him.

Liu Yuzhen stared at Young Master Ning Xiang in the tub with gleaming eyes. No matter how he looked at it, although this man was refined and had elegant skin, he still fell short when compared to himself. Don’t get the wrong idea. Liu Yuzhen was not boasting at all. In fact, he very much hates this soft body, his glorious scars before were now some filthy tooth marks, the tanned skin that symbolizes masculinity was now whiter than snow that it somehow seemed like it’s lacking in sunlight.

Just as he was about to follow the little maids to wipe Ning Xiang’s back, he heard Emperor Yan say, “Come here and undress this King.”

“Huh?” Liu Yuzhen looked back in surprise. The man in dragon robe had already walked over to the bed and was looking at him with a very provocative expression. “Are you courting death?” Liu Yuzhen couldn’t help but curse.

Young Master Ning Xiang was even more anxious, and was about to come out of the tub, “Your Majesty, let Ning Xiang do it! A servant is not qualified to touch the Holy Body.”

“No. This King is not used to people other than her.” Emperor Yan’s eyes were stern. However, this single phrase was more forceful than everything else he had spoken to Ning Xiang.

Liu Yuzhen noticed that Young Master Ning Xiang was staring at him with fiery eyes. It would be better to get this over and done with so he can immediately leave.

Liu Yuzhen walked over bravely and impatiently trying to untie the robe. As he was trying to undress him, he realized that the robe designed by the Great Yan Kingdom was very inextricable.

What the hell…

Every stitch and every thread of this satin garment that Liu Yuzhen touched was embroidered with golden thread. Even a single thread of silk could not be obtained by a poor person, yet he had the inexplicable urge to tear it apart at the moment. 

A very happy smile appeared on Emperor Yan’s face. The man in front of him who couldn’t even untie his clothes was definitely not the Liu Yuzhen he knew, nor could he be an assassin pretending to be Prime Minister Liu. He also doesn’t seem to be pretending with his actions.

To leave and go, he just needed to untie the clothes for it. How could he take so long for such an easy task? 

Liu Yuzhen finally solved the tedious process after tossing for a long time, even Ning Xiang had already finished his bath. Emperor Yan’s clothes were taken off piece by piece, revealing his proud and majestic body.

Liu Yuzhen had donned other people’s protective vests, pulled off other people’s clothes, and seen many bodies in a public bathhouse. Yet, for some reason, there was an extraordinary sense of beauty when this figure was exposed in front of him. It also had scars like his own, and the markings of a sword were clearly visible. It was as if Emperor Yan considered this as his glory and was delighted to present it before him.

A warrior’s glory was his scars. You can tell the other party’s experiences just by looking at it. Gazing at Emperor Yan’s body scars, Liu Yuzhen realized that his bullet-riddled life was nothing.

At the age of ten, he lived in the Gobi desert with his father. When his father was on a mission, he would bring him along. He joined the Police Academy when he was fourteen, the army when he was sixteen, and then jumped to the International Police Station in just two years. In actuality, it’s just a one-way massacre with all kinds of defenses, with sufficient ammunition and sufficient force.

However, Emperor Yan was definitely not a man who lived in that kind of ease, absolutely not, not at all.
