Chapter 126: “Try bullying him and see what happens.”
“Is he a good person?”
“How does he treat you?”
“He didn’t bully you, did he?”
“Does he respect you?”
“Did he force you to do anything?”
The barrage of questions left Fu Qishang stunned.
Fu Qishang gently brushed away Liang Yeta’s hand and held onto the arm of Wei Qi, who had just arrived beside him.
“He is very good.” Fu Qishang raised his eyes. “At least better than you.”
“…” Liang Yeta’s lips moved slightly. He looked at Wei Qi and suddenly let out a miserable laugh.
Yes, how could I compare to others?
I haven’t been good to Fu Qishang at all.
What right do I have to ask if others are treating him well?
“Um… then,” Liang Yeta didn’t know why his throat hurt so much.
It seemed his heart was aching too.
Why does it hurt so much…?
Finally, his hand slowly dropped, and he whispered:
“I wish you happiness.”
Fu Qishang glanced at him, then pulled Wei Qi away without expression.
Wei Qi glanced between the two of them a few times.
Then, while Fu Qishang went to find Shen Zhuo, he secretly found Liang Yeta alone.
“Feels like you care quite a bit about the Prince?” Wei Qi put his hands in his pockets, sitting next to Liang Yeta with no proper posture.
“None of your business,” Liang Yeta replied coldly.
Wei Qi sighed deeply. “Oh my—being able to marry the Prince, I’ll take over all the wealth of the Prince’s family. When the time comes, an Omega like him can just stay at home and give birth to a child for me. How happy. I’ll be able to eat hot—”
Before Wei Qi could finish, his collar was yanked up.
Veins popped out on the back of Liang Yeta’s hand. He spoke word by word, squeezing them out through his teeth, full of hostility:
“I’m warning you, don’t tie him down at home.”
“He has his dreams. Try making him your accessory and see what happens.”
Wei Qi was startled but quickly recovered, raising his chin with a contemptuous look:
“Yo, what can you do? Who are you to the Prince?”
“I…” Liang Yeta froze. “Am a friend.”
“A friend meddling so much?” Wei Qi slapped his hand away. “Those who don’t know would think you like the Prince.”
Wei Qi stood up airily, straightening the collar Liang Yeta had crumpled, and headed towards Ai Li.
Leaving Liang Yeta alone with a gloomy expression.
Over there, Shen Zhuo and Ai Li had been secretly observing Liang Yeta’s actions.
Wei Qi ran up to them and let out a long sigh of relief:
“So scary, did he want to kill me just now…”
Ai Li patted him. “Good job, I’ll add to your pay.”
“Alright, sister-in-law!”
Ai Li lifted his chin, just as Ji Weishen finished his patrol and joined the group.
Wei Qi immediately saluted. “Brother Ji.”
Ji Weishen grinned and bent down to whisper to Ai Li, “What’s the situation now?”
Ai Li handed a glass of red wine to Ji Weishen. “He did well. Now let’s watch Liang Yeta’s moves.”
Ji Weishen waved his hand to let Wei Qi leave first. “Don’t let others discover you’re connected to us.”
Shen Zhuo looked at Fu Qishang quietly. “What do you think of Liang Yeta’s performance?”
Fu Qishang ate a piece of small cake, his expression indifferent:
“I don’t think anything of it. I can let go of him.”
Beside him, Du Feng took a sip of wine, looking at Nayin Tute approaching from a distance.
He said to the group in a deep voice, “He’s coming.”
Nayin Tute’s body was a bit stiff, his movements slow as he walked towards Shen Zhuo.
Only when he reached the boy did he kneel on one knee and bow to Shen Zhuo.
Damn, no wonder everyone defended this Omega.
This person is the Queen, the newly crowned Queen of the Empire!
Nayin Tute’s face was pale. He had caused trouble this time.
“Nayin Tute, Fourth Prince of Nayin Kingdom, pays respects to the Queen.”
Shen Zhuo put down his wine glass and raised his hand slightly.
“Rise.”
Nayin Tute stood up and said, “Your Majesty, I was blind today. Please forgive me.”
Shen Zhuo looked calm. “It’s fine.”
Nayin Tute breathed a sigh of relief.
“But—”
“Prince Nayin’s conduct in the Empire, in terms of etiquette, was perhaps a bit disrespectful to the Empire.”
The boy curled the corners of his lips, revealing a very faint smile.
“Don’t you agree, Nayin Tute?”
Those familiar with Shen Zhuo knew he was angry.
Shen Zhuo was usually impassive; when he was angry, he would smile instead.
Ai Li had seen Shen Zhuo smile like this before and looked at Nayin Tute kneeling on the ground with schadenfreude.
Ji Weishen and Fu Qishang, however, had never seen such an expression on Shen Zhuo and felt a chill down their spines.
Du Feng stood beside Shen Zhuo, his tall figure silent, but his indulgent attitude was enough to make people wary.
Cold sweat dripped from Nayin Tute’s forehead.
He didn’t know why a low-ranking Omega gave him such immense pressure.
Even his brother had never made him feel like this.
“What does Your Majesty… want to do?”
Nayin Tute stared tightly at Shen Zhuo’s face. He sensed the ranks of everyone around him; the only one with the same rank as him, S3, was the Omega Prince nearby.
Nayin Tute had always looked down on Omegas.
He believed Omegas were just playthings, tools for Alphas to reproduce.
So even if this Omega was S3, the same rank as him, he only felt he was weak.
As for being pinned to the ground by the Princess in the afternoon…
That was just an accidental coincidence.
Moreover—Nayin Tute looked around and didn’t see Feng Muya, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The current situation was even less threatening to him.
But why?
Nayin Tute looked down at his hand.
His clenched fist was actually trembling.
Shen Zhuo’s smile deepened. “Provoking the Empire is a grave crime, even if you are a Prince.”
“I will inform your father,” Du Feng spoke. “You will remain here.”
Nayin Tute shook his head in disbelief. He wasn’t a fool; he understood what “remain here” meant.
These two people wanted to kill him.
“You, you dare?!” Nayin Tute was just about to shout.
But mindful of the surrounding media, he didn’t dare to tear off the mask completely.
He could only lower his voice, keeping it just loud enough for the few of them to hear.
“If you act against me, the Kingdom will definitely declare war on you! The Empire will suffer a crushing defeat then! How many S4s do you even have?!”
The people around him showed absolutely none of the panic Nayin Tute had imagined.
The strange, excessive silence made Nayin Tute start to panic.
“Oh my, how pitiful, Prince Nayin Tute.”
Ai Li said with a smile from the side, “You’ve been abandoned by your Father King.”
Nayin Tute’s lips trembled.
“What… what did you say?”
“Have you ever thought about why your Father King sent only you?”
Ai Li began to guide him. “Why not the other Princes, but you?”
Nayin Tute wasn’t that smart after all and was led astray by Ai Li. “Why…?”
Ai Li laughed. “Of course, it’s because abandoning you causes the least loss to your country.”
Ji Weishen nodded from the side. “So killing a Prince doesn’t really matter to the Kingdom.”
Even Fu Qishang chimed in. “So your Father King knew your temper long ago yet sent you here alone. Actually, he wanted you dead a long time ago, right?”
How could Nayin Tute handle the eloquence of these people?
His originally somewhat clear thoughts were scrambled by their words.
Nayin Tute slammed the table and stood up. “Impossible! That’s not what Father King said! Father King clearly said I could act just as I did before!”
Before his voice faded, a commotion erupted outside the door.
A patrol guard shouted—
“Assassins!!”
Shen Zhuo and Du Feng exchanged a glance.
Then looked back at Nayin Tute.
Nayin Tute’s face was beyond pale now.
“You… what are you looking at me for! I didn’t do it!”
“If not you, then who?” Fu Qishang looked at Chu Baixian. “Arrest him first!”
The banquet hall instantly descended into chaos.
Running, crying, screaming—even the soldiers pouring in couldn’t calm the crowd.
An assassination in the Royal Palace was a terrifying event.
Fu Qishang caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye. The angle was weird and unpredictable; when he looked carefully, it vanished.
When he sensed the shadow again, the gleaming dagger was only a meter away from his neck.
The shadow’s target was him!
Fu Qishang immediately ripped a button from his chest and threw it, but by the sound of it hitting the floor, he missed.
Nearby, Ai Li and Ji Weishen were very fast, chasing after several other shadows.
Shen Zhuo and Du Feng were protecting the guests not far away.
Fu Qishang turned his head again, but the shadow was gone.
Just as Fu Qishang prepared to use his ability to search for the assassin, Wei Qi passed by him and patted his shoulder.
He and Wei Qi locked eyes.
The Alpha smiled and deliberately extended his hand, pushing the boy on the shoulder.
From this angle, it looked like he was pushing Fu Qishang out to take the blade for him.
Fu Qishang lost his balance and fell backward.
A gunshot rang out from the left, aiming exactly for Fu Qishang’s back.
“!!”
In that second, Fu Qishang thought of nothing.
He didn’t even have time to close his eyes and await death.
The next second, his body was grabbed and violently yanked to the right!
He crashed into an embrace while falling downwards, rolling over.
Before Fu Qishang could look up, he heard Liang Yeta’s voice.
He had never heard such an anxious tone from him before.
“Fu Qishang! Are you okay!”
A muffled thud came from behind, presumably the assassin who fired the shot being subdued and pinned to the ground.
Fu Qishang came back to his senses and saw Liang Yeta fallen on the ground, his cane thrown far away, but his hands firmly protecting Fu Qishang’s head.
He saw on Liang Yeta’s face, which usually held no expression for him, a look he had anticipated for a long time.
But Fu Qishang fell silent.
—
A few S3 assassins were quite easy to catch.
Shen Zhuo and Du Feng didn’t even need to act.
Everyone in the banquet hall was calmed down.
Wei Qi retreated to Ai Li’s side and patted his chest. “Luckily, luckily you guys were fast. Otherwise, that push of mine would have killed him. As expected, I have to trust sister-in-law and Brother Ji.”
Ai Li stepped on the assassin beneath his feet, rotated his wrist, and rolled his eyes at him grumpily:
“Then you’d better not trust us.”
Wei Qi scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. “True feelings are revealed in times of danger, you see, didn’t this just…”
From a distance, they heard Fu Qishang’s voice.
He stood up, lowering his eyes to look at Liang Yeta.
Liang Yeta was also looking up at him.
Fu Qishang’s indifferent expression gave them a premonition that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the blond boy spoke, his coldness mirroring the Alpha from back then:
“We have no other relationship, Liang Yeta.”
“I don’t want to like you anymore.”
Shen Zhuo and Du Feng exchanged a glance.
These two stubborn donkeys!
