Liu Xianglian: Although he did something wrong, it doesn't warrant... being castrate

Chapter 98 Liu Xianglian: Although he did something wrong, it doesn't warrant... being castrated, does it?

Xiangling escorted Liu Feng to the courtyard gate, then turned back and bumped into Qingwen, who had just finished bathing. She pouted, "Why take a bath so early in the morning..."

'

Qingwen was in a good mood and didn't argue with her. She lifted the cotton curtain and told the old woman to carry the bathwater out of the gauze cabinet, and then slowly moved into the warm room.

Xiangling glanced at her retreating figure and followed her inside, saying, "Why are you walking so strangely?"

Qingwen, who had just sat down, was startled. Her face flushed red, and she stammered, "I... I twisted my ankle..."

""

Xiangling stared at her for a while, then frowned: "Why are you acting different today than usual?"

"Are you hungry?" Qingwen asked, slightly flustered. She quickly changed the subject, "Second Master asked the kitchen to make tofu skin buns. If you're not going to eat them, I'll eat them all myself." With that, she hurriedly got up and slipped out.

Xiangling tilted her head, feeling that Qingwen was a little different today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It was another fruitful morning.

Liu Feng, carrying the schoolbag that Xiangling had sewn for him, ignored the strange looks from the group of "Second Masters" and walked straight out of the martial arts school gate.

The wind was like a knife, it hurt terribly when it hit my face.

..

Liu Feng didn't ride a horse; he walked ahead with his schoolbag slung over his shoulder.

Jia Yun led his horse, with a group of Imperial Guards following silently behind.

"Brother Liu!" Liu Xianglian's voice came from the alley diagonally opposite.

Liu Feng looked up and saw Liu Xianglian and a young man with blood on the corner of his mouth standing there. Their faces were not good, and their eyes were filled with guilt.

"What's wrong?" Liu Feng walked over.

Liu Xianglian opened his mouth, hesitated, and ultimately said nothing, only glaring at the man: "Hurry up and speak!"

The young man knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling as he cried out, "I was wrong! Lord Liu, you are so magnanimous, please forgive me this time!"

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Feng was a little confused.

"I...I..."

""

"Now you're scared? What were you doing before?!"

Liu Xianglian kicked the man to the ground, turned around and bowed deeply to Liu Feng, "It was my fault for making bad friends, which has harmed Brother Liu."

Liu Feng quickly helped him up: "What do you mean by that? You've confused me..."

""

After stammering for a while, Liu Xianglian gritted his teeth and told the whole story in detail.

"It's all my fault for being bewitched and falling for their tricks..."

Liu Feng hadn't expected there to be such a thing going on. He glanced at the young man who kept kowtowing, and snorted coldly. He didn't know he was wrong; he was just afraid—afraid of dying!

"I love making friends, regardless of background or social class, as long as we get along..."

""

Liu Xianglian sighed, "I'm not going to say anything more. This matter started because of me, Brother Liu, I'll accept whatever punishment you want!"

Liu Feng waved his hand: "You meant well, but you were taken advantage of. Ignorance is no excuse."

"That's what I say, but I still feel guilty."

"If you really feel bad about it, then make it up to me in some way."

"Compensation..." Liu Xianglian searched his entire body but couldn't find a single copper coin, looking utterly embarrassed.

Liu Feng laughed: "It's fate, so let's just let this matter go."

Liu Xianglian was even more embarrassed and quickly waved his hand: "No, no... I'll owe you a favor. From now on, if you ever need my help, I'll go through fire and water for you!" He then raised his right hand.

Liu Feng smiled and reached out to pat Liu Xianglian's palm.

"thump-

'

The two looked down and burst out laughing. The guy had kowtowed so hard he was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, covered in sweat and panting heavily.

Liu Xianglian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother Liu, what do you plan to do with this person?"

"Castrate him," Liu Feng casually uttered.

"Castrated? Castrated?" Liu Xianglian's eyes widened in disbelief.

The young man forgot to breathe and hurriedly covered his groin.

Liu Xianglian snapped out of his daze and coughed, "Well... even though he did something wrong, it doesn't warrant... castration, does it?"

The young man nodded frantically.

Liu Feng smiled and said, "Just kidding."

The young man had just breathed a sigh of relief when Liu Feng suddenly changed his tone: "However, if you can't answer my question, I'll really castrate you."

Seeing that Liu Feng didn't seem to be joking, Liu Xianglian could only pray in her heart that Liu Feng knew the answer to her question.

The young man also stared nervously at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng spun around for a moment, then suddenly turned around: "King Wu, King Lu, King Yong, who should be the crown prince?"

Liu Xianglian was stunned, and the young man was completely dumbfounded.

Liu Feng swiftly drew his goose-feathered sword from his waist: "I'll count to three. One..."

'

The young man snapped back to his senses and grabbed Liu Xianglian's leg, crying, "Second Brother Liu, save me! Save me!"

, "

"Second Brother Liu!"

A strong smell of urine wafted out.

Not only was Liu Xianglian dumbfounded, but even Liu Feng forgot to count the "three".

It took Liu Xianglian a while to recover his senses and then, steeling himself, pleaded for him.

Liu Feng pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing: "For Brother Liu's sake, I'll give you another chance... Listen carefully."

The young man stared wide-eyed, not daring to breathe.

Liu Feng: "Who is behind Mei Hanlin?"

The young man was taken aback at first, then overjoyed: "I know this! I know this..."

"You know it, why don't you hurry up and tell me!" Liu Xianglian kicked him impatiently.

"It's Grand Secretary Qian! Grand Secretary Qian from the Cabinet!"

That's the one Liu Feng deliberately tripped over.

Liu Feng snorted coldly. No wonder Mei Hanlin was so brave to take all the responsibility; it turns out he had latched onto a powerful figure.

The young man swallowed hard. "I... I answered correctly. Does that mean I can leave now?"

"Not leaving? Staying for the New Year?" Liu Feng glared at him.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The young man scrambled out of the alley, leaving behind an indescribable scent that truly wafted for miles.

Jia Yun and the others at the alley entrance all covered their mouths and noses.

Liu Xianglian shook her head and looked at Liu Feng: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Liu Feng smiled and said, "Without using some tricks, would he tell the truth?"

Liu Xianglian nodded: "I still need to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. I'll treat you to a meal another day to apologize."

Liu Feng nodded: "Qi Guan isn't ready yet?"

Liu Xianglian shook his head: "It's not Qi Guan, it's Qin Zhong... oh, he's the younger brother of Madam Rong from the East Mansion."

Liu Feng's lips twitched. This guy was no good either. At Qin Keqing's funeral, this brat actually had sex with a young nun. If Liu Xianglian was involved with him, then Jia Baoyu was probably hooking up with him too.

After a few casual words, Liu Xianglian went to the pharmacy, while Liu Feng headed straight for the Prince Yong's mansion.

The dining hall of Prince Yong's residence.

Prince Yong picked up a piece of beef that was still dripping with sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it heartily... Before long, a large plate of beef was gone.

He picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, looking completely satisfied.

At this moment, the steward hurried in and reported, "Your Highness is truly amazing! Liu Feng has arrived."

Prince Yong wiped the sweat from his brow and slowly removed his face towel: "Where is he?"

"They're waiting at the gatehouse."

"Take him to the living room."

"Yes." The butler bowed and withdrew.
