Chapter Ch775.10 – Extra 10: Moved Out of Lotus Garden
Translated by Zaki
Xuan Wushe said: “Since you think so, then change your residence.”
Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then said, “Okay.”
After that day, everyone knew that Lin Zhan had fallen out of favor. Lin Guangling, who used to be supremely favored, was driven out of the Lotus Garden and lived in a remote and very simple courtyard in the palace.
Although it was crude, Lin Zhan thought it was pretty good.
It’s just that the courtyard was not that gorgeous, that’s all.
Xuan Wushe was so angry that he almost vomited blood in his heart when he looked at Lin Zhan’s look of being content with poverty.
On this day, when Xuan Wushe came to see Lin Zhan, he found that he had put some small shells in a bottle.
Xuan Wushe came over and asked, “What is this?”
Lin Zhan looked at the small shells that were about to fill the bottle, shook the bottle, and said: “This is the number of times Your Majesty has made me angry.” He smiled and continued, “Every time Your Majesty makes me sad, I will throw a small shell into it. When the shells are full, I will leave Your Majesty.”
Xuan Wushe’s heart was tugged by something.
He looked at the annoying little shells, grabbed it, and threw the bottle out.
Lin Zhan was speechless. “Your Majesty, can you please stop being so childish?”
Xuan Wushe: “What you’re doing is childish.”
Lin Zhan nodded. “Yes, I am indeed childish.”
Xuan Wushe suddenly felt a sense of loss.
In the past, Lin Zhan would definitely quarrel with him and laugh with him, but now, no matter what he said, whether it was right or wrong, Lin Zhan would never refute him again.
Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan’s back, feeling a dull pain in his heart.
“I haven’t seen you cooking for a long time.” Xuan Wushe walked to Lin Zhan and watched him pick up those small shells.
Lin Zhan put the small shells into the bottle one by one. “Whatever Your Majesty wants to eat, there will naturally be people vying to cook it for you.”
Xuan Wushe said resentfully, “I just want to eat what you cook.”
Lin Zhan put the last small shell into the bottle. “Your Majesty, please wait.”
Lighting the fire, handling the ingredients, and cooking, Xuan Wushe watched Lin Zhan do it all.
In the past, when Lin Zhan was cooking, he would talk to him enthusiastically about various Chinese delicacies to seduce his appetite. But now, Lin Zhan just cooked step by step from beginning to end. He would only reply when prompted. Just one or two sentences.
Xuan Wushe felt more and more depressed, and finally he couldn’t bear it anymore. He kicked the firewood pile over, causing sparks to fly, then flung up his sleeves and walked away.
Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows and cleaned up the mess. “And he said he was not childish.”
“How did he become like this?” Xuan Wushe complained to Zhuang Xinglan, “He was not like this before. At the beginning, he was so obedient, his mouth was always kind, and he never dared to get angry or lose his temper when he was with me.”
Zhuang Xinglan complained about Xuan Wushe in his heart, but naturally he did not dare to say it out loud.
He thought in his heart, Wasn’t this all because you had abandoned him first and had been bewitched by a vixen all day long. That’s why Lin Zhan treated you like this.
It was true that those who were in the middle of the situation couldn’t see the whole picture, but onlookers knew clearly.
Zhuang Xinglan organized his words, “Your Majesty, at the beginning, between you and Lord Guangling, it was only the two of you. Now there is one more person, and that person has divided Your Majesty’s attention. In order to pursue balance, Lord Guangling will naturally shift his attention from you to other places.”
Xuan Wushe frowned. “If he doesn’t think about me with all his heart and soul, who else can he turn his attention to? What treason!”
Zhuang Xinglan: “…”
Zhuang Xinglan coughed lightly and whispered, “Lord Guangling has been asking me to help him find a friend. It seems that there is some news, but I’m not sure whether it is the person he is looking for.”
Xuan Wushe narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhuang Xinglan. “Which friend?”
Zhuang Xinglan: “That’s the friend who was with him at the beginning but was knocked off the cliff. He seemed to be very fortunate, as he did not die. If I’m correct, then he is still wandering around in the Nine Lands and having fun.”
Xuan Wushe said with a dark face, “Why didn’t I know about this from beginning to end?”
Zhuang Xinglan complained endlessly in his heart while saying, “Your Majesty has many things to do every day, so I didn’t bother you for such a trivial matter.”
“Is this a trivial matter?” Xuan Wushe didn’t even think about it, saying, “The affairs of Guangling are naturally first-class and a big matter. ”
Zhuang Xinglan: “…”
Under Zhuang Xinglan’s strange gaze, Xuan Wushe realized what he had said.
Even Xuan Wushe himself couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Why would he regard Lin Zhan’s matter as such a big deal?
It’s just about finding a friend. How can it be more important than the Monster Hunting Feast?
But the words he just said were clearly what he was thinking inadvertently.
What happened to him?
Xuan Wushe frowned and decided not to think too much. He waved his hand and said, “Turn over all the information you found to the Thirteen Temple Guards. You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore, just let them take over.”
Zhuang Xinglan: “…………”
He finally made some progress and was about to go to Lin Zhan to claim credit, but His Shameless Majesty Xuan Wushe took all the credit.
He dared to use the head on his neck to guarantee that when Xuan Wushe asked Lin Zhan for credit, he would never mention the slightest bit about his own credit!
This narrow-minded man.
Zhuang Xinglan complained silently, but due to Xuan Wushe’s pressure, he had no choice but to part ways with him, “En, I’ll be happy too.”
Xuan Wushe looked at Zhuang Xinglan. “Is the border area stable recently?”
Zhuang Xinglan: “It’s settled and the demons won’t come anymore.”
Xuan Wushe frowned. “Are the trivial issues gone now?”
Zhuang Xinglan was speechless. “Of course not, how could they disappear completely?”
Xuan Wushe: “Since there are so many things to do, how can you, as a General of this land, enjoy yourself in a comfortable home like the palace? You go and deal with the big and small matters at the border, and then come back after finishing them.”
Zhuang Xinglan wanted to stab Xuan Wushe for being a villain.
This man’s jealousy was too great.
Zhuang Xinglan felt that he was just a pitiful little kid who had been bullied, how could he be so miserable?
Xuan Wushe just wanted to find a reason to get him out of the East Land’s capital and out of Lin Guangling’s sight.
Zhuang Xinglan couldn’t help but laugh.
Xuan Wushe: “Why are you laughing?”
Zhuang Xinglan blinked at Wushe. “Your Majesty, I personally think that your feelings for Lord Guangling are relatively strong. It’s rare that Lord Guangling also treats you wholeheartedly. He wants you to treat him like a Daoist Companion for the rest of your lives. Actually, there’s nothing too difficult about this, right?”
Xuan Wushe glanced at Zhuang Xinglan. “Did he ask you to say something nice for him?”
Zhuang Xinglan shook his head. “I just think it’s not worth it for Your Majesty to end up this alienated from Lord Guangling just for the sake of Ah Li.”
Xuan Wushe snorted coldly. “Of course I know it’s not worth it, but don’t you know what kind of person my mother is? Ah Li was selected by her after much difficulty. Do you think that if I don’t show that I am addicted to Ah Li and favor him so much, can Guangling escape the punishment of Fairy Zhi Wei?”
Zhuang Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand. “Your Majesty has foresight and is very thoughtful, I admire you.”
Xuan Wushe stood up and flicked his broad sleeves, “Okay, don’t treat me like an idiot. You can go back to the border today and don’t come back for two months, so you won’t bother me and Guangling to getting back together.”
Zhuang Xinglan: “…”
If it weren’t for the fact that you are My Majesty, you would definitely be beaten!
Xuan Wushe sent the Thirteen Temple Guards to find a man named “Su Mo”.
The Thirteen Temple Guards usually do important things like spying and hunting down fugitives. When they first received this kind of mission, they thought Su Mo was so important to the East Land.
Xuan Wushe still hung out with Ah Li every day, and his behavior became more and more ridiculous.
Today he gave Ah Li a magic weapon brought from the Southwest Land as a plaything, and the next day he took Ah Li to drink and have fun. Ah Li also became more and more unrestrained, and even raised his head in front of Fairy Zhi Wei.
Fairy Zhi Wei glared at Ah Li with cold eyes. “Have you forgotten why I wanted you by His Majesty’s side in the first place?”
Ah Li was wearing the most gorgeous clothes and the most gorgeous magic weapon hanging on his body. “Your Majesty naturally asked me to charm His Majesty. Now His Majesty is so smitten with me that he almost obeys all my words. Isn’t it in line with Your Majesty’s original intention?”
Fairy Zhi Wei slapped the table and scolded, “Impudent fox, I will pull out your tendons and bones!”
Ah Li was startled by Fairy Zhi Wei’s threat, but he managed to hold on, “Your Majesty must not do anything to me at will. Now I am His Majesty’s person and His Majesty’s Young Lord. If you kill me, the mother-son bond between Your Majesty and His Majesty will be alienated.”
Ah Li hit Fairy Zhi Wei’s weak spot.
The relationship between Xuan Wushe and her couldn’t be considered distant, but it couldn’t be considered too close either.
This was probably related to the fact that she ignored Xuan Wushe when he was young and only focused on cultivating.
Fairy Zhi Wei narrowed her eyes. “Ah Li, since I can support you, I can naturally also kill you.”
Ah Li smiled. “Ah Li is grateful to Your Majesty for favoring me. Now, I am His Majesty’s person, I will never forget your great kindness.”
After Ah Li left, Fairy Zhi Wei sent someone to call Xuan Wushe.
Fairy Zhi Wei looked at Xuan Wushe. “I am mistaken. Lin Guangling is indeed different from others.”
Xuan Wushe said lightly, “I have long said that among the people I show such high favor to, Guangling is the only one who will not be arrogant and will not let it get to his head. After all, his pride is in his bones. He doesn’t need my favor to add to his pride.”
Fairy Zhi Wei was slightly taken aback, then said, “You can deal with that Ah Li yourself. Lin Guangling is extraordinary. If you want to keep him, then just keep him.”
Xuan Wushe nodded. “Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for making it possible.”
After Xuan Wushe left, the maid next to Fairy Zhi Wei said, “Your Majesty, you just don’t care anymore? Are you going to let Lin Guangling continue to be arrogant and domineering based on His Majesty’s favor?”
Fairy Zhi Wei: “Compared to others, Lin Guangling is not arrogant.”
Overnight, Ah Li seemed to have fallen out of favor.
When he was sent out of the East Palace by Xuan Wushe’s servants, his face was still full of disbelief, thinking that he heard wrongly.
“I am the Young Lord. His Majesty always loves me the most and gives me whatever I want. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, be careful, I will go back and tell His Majesty and have him punish you!” Ah Li shouted angrily to the servant.
