Chapter 255.2: Going Crazy

Jing Wan carefully glanced at n.o.ble Consort Su, Consort mother, the dream this daughter-in-law mentioned was real. Im worried that a portion of her soul has already left the body.

n.o.ble Consort Sus breathing slowed. Even she didnt know how many times shes gotten stifled today. The little s.l.u.t was unwilling to just die alone like this, and instead wanted to pull along her son?! n.o.ble Consort Su indeed didnt believe, but on the inside, she was strangely somewhat panicky. This talk of ghosts and spirits was the most difficult to fathom, what if by chance her son really were to get his soul hooked..

Where is she right now? Still in Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor, or already returned to the Luo family? Setting this aside for the time being, just feel free to invite the imperial physician, and whatever rare and valuable medicinal ingredients that are needed, also dont hesitate to ask for. The most important thing is to think of a way for her to get better. After all, it was Rui Qinw.a.n.g that let her down. If she really were to just lose her life to the Yellow Springs like this, truly a sin. n.o.ble Consort Su softly sighed.

Such sincerity and concern. Jing Wan lowered her brows and retracted her gaze. This is truly worrying that shell become a ghost and not let go of your son? If theres really such a thing, then in the imperial household, as well as the inner palace, how many people can live in peace? If nothing else, just that new husband of hers will have to bear the brunt of the force. Many thanks consort mother. Fourth younger sister has already been sent back to the Luo family.

Then just find time to go back and have a look, and apologize to your grandfather and grandmother for this consort. Also say a few good words for Rui Qinw.a.n.g too. After all, still one family, so dont let the misunderstanding run too deep. Luo Pei Shan was an understanding one, and so long as one was a little bright will just know what to do. Thats why, although this matter was a great humiliation, it was still profitable.

n.o.ble Consort Su a.s.sumed that since Jing Wan was still young and raised in the boudoir, not having any experience and knowledge, she wont know about these things. But unbeknownst to her, everything had long been thoroughly seen through, further having an useless in everything son already digging a pit in the dark.

Jing Wan left the imperial palace carrying a mission. Sitting in the horse carriage, her face was like an ancient well with no ripples. With her brows lowered and eyes retracted, she randomly tugged the handkerchief in hand. These people truly were having become a prost.i.tute yet still erecting a memorial arch

[1]

. Having done this kind of disgusting thing, yet still boldly and self-righteously demanding benefits, really isnt scared of choking to death.

Jing Wans eyes were also full of icicles. Your Highness n.o.ble consort, hope your son is able to withstand

When Jing Wan had left the manor, Li Hong Yuan was cooped up over there reading a book. When she returned, he was still in that same posture, seemingly as if hed never moved an inch. Jing Wan changed her clothes and washed off her makeup, sitting down next to him. On normal days, w.a.n.gye is always this idle?

As someone with far-reaching ambitions, secretly preparing to obtain the throne, shouldnt one be extremely tired everyday? After all, on the surface, he didnt have any power, so everything can only be carried out in the dark, and as such, consumed even more energy. But judging from these last few days, one has never seen him working on proper business. He really was like an idle w.a.n.g both in name and in reality. Wait, thats not right, last night, he seemingly had left once. Jing Wan dazedly thought she was dreaming, and had long forgotten about it. Recalling now, he must have really left before. Thats why, this was idly growing mold during the day and busy like a dog at night?

But if its really like this, his spirit cant possibly be this good.

In private, Li Hong Yuan always liked holding Jing Wan, and right now wasnt an exception either, having her pulled into his arms, extremely like some kind of territory guarding creature, sniffing between Jing Wans neck and even nonchalantly licking.

Jing Wan withdrew her neck, attempting to push him away. As one can well imagine, he naturally didnt get pushed away, and not only that, but the strength of his hand even increased suddenly. Jing Wan felt that her waist was all about to get snapped in half by him.

Jing Wan deeply inhaled a breath, patting his shoulder, Lighter, lighter, which nerve broke this time?

Jing Wan already had a feeling that this man sometimes was seemingly a bit on edge, and moreover, even especially clingy. Just based on this bit, he really was a bit unlike a grown man, but rather a child that still needed to be coaxed. Moreover, one would sometimes accidentally step on his landmine, yet you just dont know for what reason exactly, and dont know where his minefield is either, so tiresome!

Li Hong Yuan gathered up Jing Wan in his arms again and thoroughly kissed her before finally letting go.

Jing Wan felt his mood was a bit off, but didnt bicker with him either, cupping his face with both hands, Whats wrong?

Missed you. Li Hong Yuan said with a gloomy look.

Jing Wan softly chuckled, This was just how long? I just took a trip to the palace.

To not see in a day, like separated by three autumns. Why dont you count, how many days have I not seen you?

Jing Wan suddenly blushed. Although a bit cliche, this mans skill level in love talk was maxed out without an explanation. Dont change the topic, Im asking you, how are you this idle?

Li Hong Yuan let out a tsk. Exactly who was changing the topic? Didnt Wan Wan once say, the people below exert labor, the people in the middle expend mental energy, and the people at top work the people? If all things need for me to personally take care of, what am I raising the people below for then?

w.a.n.gye is rather open-minded. Even so, ones that were truly able to be a shopkeeper that threw their work to others werent many, for example, take Le Cheng Emperor. Even during the summer holiday away from the capital, he was all unwilling to have the governmental affairs freely given to the son overseeing the country. If it were some significant matter, then so be it, for instance the flooding incident during that period of time. Yet, even what seems to be small insignificant matters in Jing Wans view-as shed heard from her grandfather, he also needed to question. This was not disdaining being terribly exhausted.

I naturally have my own way of governing. Li Hong Yuan rather didnt say something like not suspecting the people one uses, and not using suspicious people. He has always just crushed belief with strength. If one has the guts to betray him, then better have the resolution to bear his thundering rage too.

Yes, yes, yes, w.a.n.gye is the most impressive. Jing Wans praise appeared especially half-hearted.

Li Hong Yuan didnt get angry either, lightly pinching her cheek, What did you talk with n.o.ble Consort Su about?

Jing Wan briefly and concisely explained, mainly mentioning that dream she made up in the last moment.

Interest flashed through Li Hong Yuans eyes, Actually can make use of this.

How to make use of it? Jing Wan somewhat curiously asked.

In this world, things that can cause people to have hallucinations, theres not just one of. Then, using all sorts of method to secretly hint at the target, even if one wants to deny, its all very difficult. Li Hong Yuan calmly explained.

Oh? At present, relatively high-end power of suggestion skills have already appeared?

Li Hong Yuan helplessly laughed. Wan Wan probably wont know, this was actually said by her herself. And in his past life, using hallucinogen in addition to suggestion, he not just once achieved his goal. Yet now, she was instead looking to him with glistening eyes, really is.unexpectedly adorable.

As for the specific workings, Jing Wan didnt ask. Actually, theres one thing I dont understand too well. Since imperial father indulges you that much, and from the looks of it, doesnt seem fake either, how come hed rather have you raised useless, and not pave the way and have the throne set aside for you?

Actually, this was probably the question that many people all wanted to know. In reality, he actually never really avoided this bit. In any case, the people that currently knew also werent just one or two either. Thus, he just nonchalantly explained.

Jing Wan was somewhat in a daze, strangely somewhat heart-aching for him. Because he shouldered this kind of ident.i.ty, he just got nailed the sign, the throne isnt something he can have delusions about. Yet, the one who was sitting on the throne just had to use his so called pampering method to have this son cupped into a target. If he wants to live, then he just cant shrink back. He had no power, no influence, and no one to help him, walking step by step on his own to the point of having the world in hand. One cant imagine just how arduous this was.

What, scared? Li Hong Yuan faintly smiled, yet in the bottom of his eyes, there was no warmth. Anyone can be scared of him, but Wan Wan cant; anyone can leave him, but Wan Wan cant; anyone can betray him, but Wan Wan cant!

Yeah, what to do? Jing Wan teasingly smiled, yet didnt know that shed stepped on a landmine again, very much looking for death!

Sure enough, Li Hong Yuans eyes just instantly boiled with violent wind and storming rain, the smile on corner of his mouth slowly fading little by little. And the hand holding Jing Wan was slowly tightening, seemingly as if even his body temperature was all dropping, no longer a person, but rather a cold-blooded animal, appearing exceptionally terrifying.

Clearly still this person, yet Jing Wan felt it was completely like turning into another person, seemingly swapping the core in that instant. She uncontrollably s.h.i.+vered, Ah, Ah Yuan.

Li Hong Yuan directly tore off her clothes, having her thrown onto the bed, ruthlessly invading in the most primitive way.

Fortunately, even if losing his rationality, in his subconscious mind, he didnt really injure her either.

[1] In ancient times, erecting a memorial arch () is a kind of honor for women who have lost their husbands yet still able to guard their chast.i.ty and remain loyal to their dead husband. Women that get a memorial arch erected received everyones deep respect. So in short, this phrase is referring to those that have done bad things in the dark, yet on the surface, still want a good reputation, wanting others to sing praises for them.
