What did An Junwang just say?
The imperial decree was taken out from his underpants?!
Princess Xinyang was in complete disbelief!
She was a woman, an imperial princess of the dynasty!
Thinking back to how she had been touching and smelling it in front of the two juniors just now, Princess Xinyang felt like she had lost face for ten lifetimes!
"You actually sewed the imperial decree in that place?!" She slammed the table!
An Junwang was a junior and a subject, moreover Princess Xinyang's aura was so powerful, intimidating even the Emperor himself, let alone a green An Junwang.
When speaking to her, An Junwang didn't dare to look up, lest he offended her, so naturally he didn't see the various indulging gestures she made towards the imperial decree.
He was startled by Princess Xinyang's sudden anger and finally dared to glance at her.
Princess Xinyang was so furious that her exquisite face flushed with anger.
An Junwang was puzzled and blurted out, "I had to sew it in my underpants to bring it out... "
He never intended to destroy the imperial decree from the start.
Holding such an important item was a life-saving talisman. Especially for those who dealt with imperial power every day, no one could guarantee they wouldn't be feared by the monarch someday.
Initially, he did plan to carry it out in his bosom.
But then he thought, what if his grandfather found it in time? His grandfather would surely search him.
There was only one place that might not be searched, his underpants.
But if he just stuffed it into his underpants, it would be easy to fall out or be felt. So he simply returned to the study and sewed it onto the fabric of his underpants.
As for how he could sew things, it was all thanks to the hard days in Bishui Alley. As a grown man, he actually learned to sew clothes while staying there.
Of course, his grandfather's mind was too deep. There was a tiny possibility he would actually strip him completely to check his underpants, so he staged the fire in the study.
He deliberately exposed flaws and deliberately covered up, making his grandfather think he had hidden the imperial decree on his person. After the study was burned down, he showed a proud look in front of his grandfather, making his grandfather think he was diverting his attention and his real goal was to set the fire to burn the decree.
This way, his grandfather would never search his underpants.
However, he didn't expect his grandfather to be so angry that he wanted to beat him to death.
That was beyond his expectations.
He overestimated his grandfather's affection for him. If it weren't for Xiao Heng secretly watching and sending Assistant Minister Li to take him away in time, he might have gone to meet the late Emperor with the decree in his underpants.
However, he wouldn't thank Xiao Liulang for it.
Princess Xinyang was so furious that she angrily glared at An Junwang. She was simply unable to control herself, saying, "Long Yi! Castrate him!"
Long Yi swiftly entered and grabbed An Junwang, then threw him into a tub of salt in the backyard with lightning speed!
Princess Xinyang: "..."
I told you to castrate him, not to pickle him!
[T/N: In Chinese, to castrate and to pickle sounds the same but are written differently.]
Princess Xinyang walked away with a livid expression!
An Junwang crouched at the edge of the tub, looking confused. He glanced at Xiao Heng approaching him, and asked, "Did I say something wrong? Why is Princess Xinyang angry? Did she think I defiled the imperial decree? I swear, I had no choice at the time."
Xiao Heng witnessed everything and stifled a laugh. He pulled An Junwang out of the tub, "No, you did well to bring out the decree."
"But she's still mad." An Junwang muttered, brushing off the salt from his body. Then he whispered, "Looks like the rumors are true."
"What rumors?" Xiao Heng asked.
An Junwang looked around to make sure Princess Xinyang wouldn't come back before quietly saying to Xiao Heng, "Princess Xinyang is capricious, always abusing Marquis Xuanping. Marquis Xuanping couldn't withstand her tyranny, so their relationship turned sour."
Xiao Heng's lips twitched. "...She couldn't possibly beat Marquis Xuanping, right?"
"She's an imperial princess, Marquis Xuanping dare not fight back." An Junwang said.
Xiao Heng: "..."
While the two were talking, they returned to the study.
"Do you want to take a look at the imperial decree?" An Junwang picked up the decree from the table and handed it to Xiao Heng.
"No need." Xiao Heng said, taking out a brocade box without much expression and opened it, saying to An Junwang, "Come, put it in here."
"Oh." An Junwang put the decree into the brocade box, "You're not going to take a look? Aren't you afraid it might be fake?"
Xiao Heng said meaningfully, "No, Princess Xinyang already verified it earlier. Didn't she say the paper and silk are different, especially smooth?"
An Junwang nodded in realization, "It seems so."
Xiao Heng was about to burst out laughing. If he held it in any longer, he might have internal injuries.
He closed the box, then said seriously to An Junwang, "Well then, I’ll leave first."
"Xiao Liulang." An Junwang looked at him firmly, "This imperial decree was exchanged with my life. Can you... Spare my grandfather's life as a favor for me handing it over to you?"
Xiao Heng paused, looking at him seriously, "Aren't you afraid he'd rather die than live?"
After all, for someone ambitious, losing everything was the greatest torment.
An Junwang just looked quietly at Xiao Heng without speaking.
Xiao Heng nodded, "All right, I understand. I promise you."
An Junwang sincerely thanked him, "Thank you."
Xiao Heng took the imperial decree to the residence on Zhuque Street.
Princess Xinyang had washed herself with eighteen basins of water in her room, scrubbing her hands and nose raw. Yu Jin didn't know what happened and asked Princess Xinyang, but she refused to say.
"Little Marquis, you're here." Yu Jin saw Xiao Heng entering with a brocade box and felt relieved.
Xiao Heng looked at the sulking Princess Xinyang. Honestly, he rarely saw her in such a mood.
"Aunt Yu Jin, let me take care of my mother." He suppressed a smile.
Yu Jin gave Xiao Heng a strange look and said, "Sure, you take over."
She put down the basin of water and walked out.
Princess Xinyang sat on the chair, rubbing her hands together and said grumpily, "What? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Xiao Heng clicked his tongue, innocently saying, "Look at what you're saying. Am I that kind of person? Besides, what's there to laugh at? It's just an imperial decree taken out of someone’s underpants."
"Xiao Liulang!"
Now that "Liulang" was Xiao Heng's name too, calling him by this full name indicated how angry Princess Xinyang was.
Xiao Heng obediently kept quiet.
Princess Xinyang saw the brocade box in his hand, furrowing her brows, "What's that?"
Xiao Heng replied truthfully, "Imperial decree."
Princess Xinyang paused, realizing it was the late Emperor's decree. Her face darkened, "You! How dare you bring that thing here!"
Xiao Heng said helplessly, "This thing is too valuable. It's not safe to leave it with me."
This was the truth. The children at home were too curious. It was uncertain when they would dig it out and ruin it. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only leave it with Princess Xinyang.
Princess Xinyang naturally understood this reasoning. She gritted her teeth, "Give it to Yu Jin to keep!"
Xiao Heng bowed with the brocade box, "Yes, Your Highness."
He turned and left.
Princess Xinyang glared at him, "Come back here!"
Xiao Heng obediently turned back, smiling slightly, "Your Highness, do you have any other orders?"
Princess Xinyang said sternly, "Change your title!"
Xiao Heng bowed again, smiling charmingly, "Yes, esteemed Princess Regent."
Princess Xinyang: "..."
