Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

184. He Loves to Eat Raw Meat

Translator: Sagocream

Yuxing Tianrui pushed Du Chuxuan’s hand away and walked backwards a blushing face. “What are you saying? What picture book? I don’t know at all! I still have some things I haven’t dealt with today. I’m leaving.” Then he hurriedly left the palace with Ada.

Seeing him like this, Du Chuxuan smiled. It had to be said that although Du Chuxuan was angry that the Emperor had robbed everything that should belong to Yuxing Tianrui, Du Chuxuan was still grateful to him. If it wasn’t for the Emperor’s existence, Du Chuxuan wouldn’t know how Yuxing Tianrui would be in such a cloudy palace.

After thinking about it, Du Chuxuan still felt angry. Yuxing Tianrui was right and he naturally knew it. However, Du Chuxuan never said that he would do anything harmful to the Emperor at once, but it was necessary to teach the Emperor a lesson. The Emperor should not take away all the advantages, should he?

“Luo Yi!” Luo Yi came out of nowhere and knelt in front of Du Chuxuan.

“Get some people to spread some rumors in the city, saying that the third prince loves to eat raw meat.” Du Chuxuan rolled his eyes and had an idea. When Luo Yi heard it, even though he was quite clever, he did not understand what Du Chuxuan meant to do.

If it was not a truth and someone discovered it, then Yuxing Tianrui would be accused as a rumor maker. As it might be detrimental to Yuxing Tianrui, Luo Yi hesitated to take the order.

Du Chuxuan sneered, “The last time during the Wulin Assembly, the Emperor said that Yuxing Wei did a good job. Although he didn’t reward Yuxing Wei because of Noble Lady Xiao’s incident, he also gave Yuxing Wei a lot of gifts for compensation. I remember that there was sashimi sent from Japan among the reward back then, right?”

Yuxing Tianrui also got some sashimi at that time, but he and Du Chuxuan were not used to the taste. When they heard that Yuxing Wei really liked it, they sent all the sashimi left to Yuxing Wei. It could also be considered as a friendly gift and now it came handy. If the rumors were spread among people, who would care that the “raw meat” was actually sashimi?

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment. He had been secretly protecting Du Chuxuan and Yuxing Tianrui, so he naturally knew about it. However, he did not expect that such a random gift at that time could be used as a weapon by Du Chuxuan, which was a good idea, so he nodded and left the East Palace the next moment.

“Your Highness, we’ve found everyone you asked for,” after a while, Dongxiang rushed over from outside. They were finishing up the account book incident. After all, the Empress sent those old maids to East Palace. If they got disappeared, the Empress would have noticed it.

He asked Dongxiang and Luo Er to find all of the maids’ relatives and kept them in the East Palace. This time, Dongxiang just brought back the family who had been hiding in a very remote place.

Du Chuxuan took the namelist in Dongxiang’s hand and read it carefully. “Hmm, such a surprise. I remember that this family seems to be the ones who were serving the Former Emperor at that time.”

“Exactly. Your Highness, you have such a good memory.” Dongxiang said with a smile. “I did not know this at first. It was Luo Er who reminded me of it and we took a closer look. What’s more, we’ve got extra surprise this time.” He waved at the outside and signaled for Luo Er to come in.

Luo Er was not alone. There were several people from Sect Luo behind him, but each of them was holding a small box in their hands and they looked very delicate. “This family is extremely rich and has got lots of treasures. They must have kept the treasure stolen from East Palace in their own hands.”

Upon hearing this, Du Chuxuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. He really didn’t expect that he would have such benefits as he was only searching for those families in case they had stolen money from the East Palace. He glanced at Dongxiang and asked in a low voice, “How much do they have?”

Dongxiang and Luo Er understood what Du Chuxuan meant, and Dongxiang was even more delighted. “This family knows how to make money with money. That old maid didn’t dare to steal too many things. Otherwise, the Empress would be able to discover it. The treasures she brought back were kept by her family. There was at least this number.”

As he said this, Dong Xiang stretched out three fingers. Du Chuxuan’s eyes widened. “300 thousand?” It was not that he was surprised, but that 300 thousand could become a big capital if being managed well in a city. However, he hadn’t finished his shock when he heard Luo Er said.

“Master, it’s 3 million, not 300 thousand!” Luo Er was also very happy. He had spent great effort on it. The whole family really liked gold bars, so basically they traded all the treasures for gold bars. This was why Du Chuxuan’s men couldn’t find them out at first.

“Your Highness, shall we bring our own things back?” Dongxiang asked. He remembered that Du Chuxuan had sold many of his possessions to make up for the debt on the account book. If they had this 3 million, they would at least be able to alleviate their current situation. They could buy one or two stores back with the money.

“No need,” Du Chuxuan smiled after his shock, “People say that a lucky guy would even have a pillow fallen on him when he wants to sleep. I now understand what it means.”

“Keep them in the palace and don’t let them flee. There should be title deeds of the lands in these cases. Keep the treasures you found in Sect Luo and watch them carefully. Don’t let other people around find it out. As for the gold bars, they especially should be kept properly. In the future, they will be important evidence for us to protect ourselves!”

Luo Er nodded and left with his men. Dongxiang also let out a sigh of relief. This was a big deal for them. He turned around and then something came to his mind. He then said, “Your Highness, there will be two concubines moving in in three days. Did you arrange everything for the two newcomers when we were out today?”

Du Chuxuan rolled his eyes and turned impatient when Dongxiang mentioned these things. He kicked Dongxiang and said, “You’re are bold enough to say that! Even Yuxing Tianrui doesn’t dare to say that to me, and you are even checking on my working process. Go and get prepared for them! If the Emperor blame me for this, I will kick you out!”

Dongxiang stuck out his tongue and made a face. He was too happy just now, so he teased Du Chuxuan. He then turned around and ran away.

Looking at the sky outside, Du Chuxuan’s mood that had been depressed for a few days finally got better.
