Beauty Feng Vol. 2

Chapter 109: He's Alive

Sangyu didn't converse much with Xiao Bao these days to avoid suspicion. The latter visiting him like this made the Prince nervous.

Did something tragic happen once again?

He shook his head, not wanting to think of dreadful things.

When he looked up, Xiao Bao was gone. It wasn't the Prince's hallucination, it seemed like the man's martial arts grew leaps and bounds.

Long Sangyu imagined him losing against Xiao Bao in a spar and winced.

It was evident, the young Xiao wasn't idle these days.

"This Prince will go back for tonight." Ping Junwang announced and the servants prepared to leave.

He sent a message to Blue Magnolia courtyard telling that he would rest for tonight and that he wasn't feeling well. He wanted to be alone.

Knowing that Zhang Yunlei liked honest words, that man wouldn't bother him for the rest of the night.

If he only said that he was ill, both Concubine Zhang and Liu would surely visit.

As he stepped inside his chambers, sure enough, Xiao Bao was there silently waiting.

He didn't waste any moment. "Someone who can be trusted will wait here and pretend to be you. Let's go to the Princess' place."

Long Sangyu was baffled. "Tell me what's going on."

"It's alright, everything will be explained once we're there. I don't dare to say anything before we can confirm it with our own eyes."

It was obvious that Xiao Bao was deeply anxious about something.

The Prince's pupils dilated when he thought of possible reasons. But Xiao Bao was right.

They should at least first go there.

"A'Bao, can I trust Mo Zhilan?"

The young Xiao was about to jump from a concealed window when he heard that question. He looked back at his brother.

"...She is someone Wangye arranged to be beside you."

Long Sangyu looked at his feet. That answer was enough.

On his lips was a pained smile. "It's all my fault, isn't it?"

Xiao Bao's eyes widened, understanding what that meant.

Slap!

The sound wasn't loud but it was crisp. Sangyu felt the sting on the side of his face.

It was a backhanded slap.

He was face to face with an expressionless Xiao Bao.

"All? Don't be cocky. I've been with you since we were kids. Do you think everything that happened has your stamp all over it? We aren't kids anymore, Sangyu."

It was true that he held a bit of contempt because the prince allowed himself to indulge in love that betrayed him.

But wasn't it also Xiao Bao's fault for not reminding him? He was the one who was supposed to guard the Prince.

And besides, if Wangye planned to die, he doubted even Sangyu could stop that.

Her Highness would still find ways.

Long Sangyu's face was dark for a while, not speaking.

Just when Xiao Bao thought his hand was really heavy that made the Prince shut in pain, he was slapped in return.

He felt like he could see stars.

"You son of a–"

"Shut up, should we fight now or should we go about our business?"
