Chapter 47 The Fourth Small World (5)

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Xi Ye spoke again: "Let's make a bet."

　　Yan Ling repeated casually: "Bet?"

　　He looked Xi Ye up and down, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "I don't think there is anything about Prince Duan that is worth betting on."

　　Xi Ye smiled and said, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Doesn't the Regent want to know how important you are in the eyes of the Emperor?"

　　Yan Ling's expression paused. He raised his eyes, and there seemed to be a thick dark fog hidden in them, which was frightening.

　　"What bet?"

　　...

　　Most people in the capital knew that the Regent had invited His Royal Highness Prince Duan to be a guest, and for a moment they were filled with confusion, puzzlement and sympathy.

　　Although it was unclear how Prince Duan, a man who had lived like air since childhood, had offended Yan Ling, being invited by the other party this time must be no good thing.

　　As expected, Prince Duan fell seriously ill again just after returning to his residence.

　　I haven't seen him at all lately.

　　Xi Chengxu looked unhappy. After leaving the court, he went to the imperial study. As soon as he entered the palace, he asked the person following him: "Why didn't you just kill him?"

　　If someone had accused Yan Ling so bluntly under normal circumstances, Yan Ling would have been angry long ago, but at this time he gently comforted him, "The person behind him is still unknown, and it would be disadvantageous for us to rashly alert the enemy."

　　Xi Chengxu swallowed the word "useless" that was about to come out of his mouth and looked at the memorial with a cold face.

　　Yan Ling knew that the other party was angry. He thought of the bet he made with Xi Ye. The words he wanted to ask got stuck in his throat, and then he smiled bitterly to himself.

　　After leaving the door, he instructed De Lu who was guarding the door: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood. I'm afraid he won't remember to eat at noon. You have to remind him."

　　De Lu quickly responded respectfully.

　　Xi Chengxu also heard it. After the people left, he sneered, "Hypocrisy."

　　...

Xi Ye pretended to be sick and lived a leisurely life. Every day he either ate and drank or lay in a chair to bask in the sun.

　　He ate the grapes and couldn't help squinting.

　　While he was in his heart despising his own depravity, he was honest and did nothing.

　　During this period, the concubine came to see me again.

　　This time he did not take the secret passage in the study, but went to the other party's yard openly.

　　She declared that she would worship Buddha every day to commemorate the deceased emperor, and then she would stay indoors, and her residence, clothing and food were all simple and unpretentious.

　　Xi Ye thought to himself that this woman was not only tolerant, but also cruel to him.

　　When he went in, Concubine Ru was flipping through scriptures.

　　She glanced at Xi Ye indifferently.

　　The boy, who has just reached adulthood, still has some childishness on his face. If you look closely, you can still see the cuteness of his childhood.
