Chapter 158 You're a pervert!
After leaving Yunxiang Tower, Hua Buyu did not go to the General's Mansion immediately, but went to the Xuanwang Mansion in a grand manner. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw carriages and oxcarts coming and going, and there was a lot of noise, as if some big project was being carried out.
"Hey!"
Taking advantage of Liu Qing's momentary lapse in attention, she suddenly yelled behind him. Several servants who were carrying flowerpots were startled and dropped them all on the ground with a clatter.
"Hua Buyu, pay up!" Liu Qing raised his sword, as if to strike her on the head.
Hua Buyu hurriedly covered her head, "No, no, no! Liu Qing, tell me quickly, what are you doing?"
"Hmph! Can't you bear to look? You dare come here instead of staying at Yunxiang Pavilion with your little prince?"
"I saw it! What's your prince doing with all this renovations? Tell me the gossip!" Hua Buyu ignored Liu Qing's last sentence and instead pulled Liu Qing into the mansion, gossiping as they walked.
"What?" After hearing Liu Qing's detailed explanation, Hua Buyu's mouth gaped open in astonishment.
"You... wait, he just swaggered in to meet the parents like that? And not only was he kicked out by Xin Moling, but now he's even starting a huge construction project, preparing to marry Yan Yan soon?"
Liu Qing nodded. "Master said that General Xin's reaction is perfectly normal."
Hua Buyu clicked his tongue repeatedly, stroking his chin thoughtfully, and said, "I thought I had a thick skin, but I didn't expect that like boss, like subordinate. This is still in the early stages, and you're in such a hurry to get married. I always feel that your master has a conspiracy."
"What conspiracy?"
"In my opinion, he is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Hua Buyu suddenly sensed something was off about the voice. She turned around and saw a white figure standing behind her, staring at her menacingly.
"Oh my god! Boss, you scared me to death!" She patted her chest, feeling a little embarrassed at being caught.
Xuan Yuan snorted coldly and glanced at her sideways. "You just said I had some kind of conspiracy?"
"No, boss. I think your move is brilliant. This mansion looks a bit simple and definitely needs a major renovation. I believe that Xin Moling will definitely agree to your marriage soon."
His expression softened somewhat, and he turned to walk into the inner room. "What do you want with me?"
Hua Buyu jogged after him, saying ingratiatingly, "I've come to apologize!"
Xuan Yuan flicked his sleeves and slowly leaned back in his chair, a hint of coldness in his expression. "What crime have you committed? Do you still need to plead guilty?"
"Hehe!" She quickly squatted down in front of him, her smile even more fawning than that of the madam of the Ruoshui Tower.
"Boss, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have let Zhao Yao stay at Yunxiang Tower. Could you please not punish me?"
"Hua Buyu, didn't you say you wouldn't have anything to do with the Qi Yun royal family anymore?"
"That's true, but how could I have known that Yan Yan would happen to pick up Zhao Yao? Besides, he has no relatives or friends in Yuan Qi, and to make matters worse, he got burned. I can't be so heartless!"
Hua Buyu squatted on the ground, scratching her hair in frustration. She hadn't expected to run into Yun Zhaoyao in Yuanqi.
Xuan Yuan glanced down at her, his voice devoid of any emotion, "What do you want to say?"
"I... Boss, could you please send some people to protect Zhuoxuan?"
"Do you really think that Yun Zhaoyao is so carefree and idle in Yuanqi that no one in the palace knows about it?"
"What does it mean?"
"He knows that Crown Prince Qi Yun has come to the capital ahead of schedule, and he also knows that the two of you have been associating with him recently. Even Yunxianglou is now under his control. He will not let Yun Zhaoyao get into trouble, so don't worry."
Hua Buyu was stunned, and said blankly, "You mean the Emperor Yuan knows Zhao Yao's identity? And he's been monitoring Yunxiang Tower? Boss, have I... caused you trouble?"
"Ha! Haven't you caused enough trouble? Two years ago, if you hadn't insisted on saving Yun Zhaoyao, you wouldn't be entangled with him until now."
"You know he's harassing me?"
Hua Buyu was shocked again. Two years ago, she received news that Yun Kuang planned to kill Yun Zhaoyao at the border between the two countries while Zhaoyao was being sent to Yuanqi for a marriage alliance, and then pin the blame on Yuanqi. That's why she cried and begged Xuanyuan to save her. As a result, she was exposed to Yun Zhaoyao. For the past two years, Yun Zhaoyao had always disguised herself and avoided the Regent's spies to go out of the palace to find her. Until half a year ago, that boy suddenly went crazy and confessed to her. She had nowhere to hide, so she asked Xuanyuan to allow her to come to Yuanqi.
What are you thinking?
"What could I possibly be thinking? Boss, Zhaoyao is still young and doesn't know any better. I'm just worried about his safety."
"The Regent Prince Qi Yun is watching closely and will surely be monitoring Yun Zhaoyao's every move. If you truly want to let go of the past, then you should no longer concern yourself with the affairs of the Qi Yun royal family."
This was the first time Xuan Yuan hadn't scolded her for causing trouble, and instead spoke to her frankly about these things. Hua Buyu sighed, her voice growing more and more choked up as she spoke.
“Boss, if it weren’t for Zhao Yao rescuing me from the palace back then, I wouldn’t be standing here now. That child is pitiful. Zhao Yao was only eleven years old back then. That palace coup almost cost him everything. He even risked his life to save me. Over the years, although I have always secretly kept an eye on everything in the palace, I have been helpless. Two years ago, that bitch had already decided to kill Zhao Yao. Now I’m afraid she will also try to harm Zhao Yao. Boss, Zhao Yao has been kind to me. Maybe he has some confused thoughts about me for a moment. I can’t just stand by and watch him be dealt with by Yun Kuang!”
Xuan Yuan looked at her with a hint of helplessness. "Ever since I saved you six years ago, you've been keeping an eye on the Qi Yun royal family's actions. Are you afraid that Yun Zhaoyao will be killed by Yun Kuang? Or are you still unable to let go of the past?"
"Even you look at me like that?" Hua Buyu's eyes widened, as if sensing some kind of distrust.
"Yun Kuang is ruthless, heartless, ambitious, and utterly disgusting. I saw through him back then, so how could I not let go of the past?"
"Then... I'll kill Yun Kuang for you, and let Yun Zhaoyao ascend the throne as emperor, how about that?"
"You have the ability?"
The suspicious look was met with a sharp rap on the head from someone.
"Ah!" She covered her forehead, feeling somewhat annoyed.
"I'm just asking you, will you feel reluctant to part with it?"
She immediately shouted, "What's there to be reluctant about! If I hadn't been desperate and blind back then, why would I have put up with that kind of trash? Damn it, luckily I'm alive. Even if he died right in front of me, I wouldn't blink an eye. Boss, go ahead and kill him without worry."
Xuan Yuan's lips twitched, and sure enough, within three sentences, he used vulgar language.
"And what about Yun Zhaoyao?"
Hua Buyu choked, the scene from just now flashing through her mind. "Why should I care about him! As long as he's no longer threatened by Yun Kuang and can secure his throne, I'll ignore him."
"He likes you."
"Damn it! Boss, couldn't you just not say this outright? I only thought Zhaoyao was a kid, and besides, this is really against ethics and morality!"
"You're not his royal aunt."
"Then you're a pervert!"
