Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

When Zhong Jian went to throw the Lan family away, he happened to meet Xue Shenyi and Ji Feiyue who were walking from the front hall.

He stood there for a while holding Lan's hand, then bowed respectfully: "Meet Master Xue, meet the Prime Minister."

Xue Shenyi said nothing, but fixed his eyes on the woman with her mouth stuffed with a rag. He felt that she looked familiar but couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

Ji Feiyue motioned for Zhong Jian to excuse himself, and turned to look at Xue Shenyi: "Why did you kidnap Madam Lan?"

Xue Shenyi then recognized who the woman with the gagged mouth was, and then quickly realized who had tied her up.

Xue Shenyi snorted: "Why does the Prime Minister think that we kidnapped him?"

There was a hint of laughter in his voice, and a gleam of light flashed through Ji Feiyue's mind, but it disappeared in an instant.

There must be a profound reason behind this. Xue Shenyi didn't intend to hide it from him, nor did he intend to tell him.

After all, the two of them are in a cooperative relationship. Even if Ji Feiyue was curious, he suppressed his thoughts at the moment.

He pursed his lips and turned away.

After seeing Ji Feiyue leave, Xue Shenyi walked over slowly.

Lan's clothes were neat and tidy, and she had no external injuries. It seemed that the Queen Mother only asked Zhong Jian to bring her to Xue Shenyi.

"Why did the Queen Mother ask you to send her here?"

Zhong Jian spoke hesitantly and repeated to Xue Shenyi exactly what Pei Yu had asked him to do.

Xue Shenyi raised his eyebrows and laughed happily when he heard this.

He seldom laughed so happily, and under the scorching sun, the gloom in the corners of his eyes dissipated a lot.

After laughing enough, Xue Shenyi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his knuckles.

He said in a gentle voice: "The Queen Mother is kind-hearted. Madam Lan, your outspokenness is just a small punishment, but I am not such a kind-hearted person."

Having said that, he licked his red lips and his eyes fell on Lan, who had a horrified face.

Lan shook his head palely, his gagged mouth able to only utter whimpering and pleading sounds.

Xue Shenyi nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Lan also thinks it is a great idea to let our family handle this matter, right?"

Lan: "..." She didn't.

Xue Shenyi: "The sun is blazing, and Madam Lan is too angry. I'm going to use poison to fight poison. Hang it outside to dry for a while. I believe it will help Madam Lan."

He pulled out a dagger from his waist, and under Lan's horrified gaze, he cut several bleeding wounds on her body with two slashes.

Lan thought that the cut would scratch her face, but she didn't expect that it was just a cut on the skin.

Could it be that Master Xue is even more merciful than Pei Yu?

Soon Lan realized something was wrong. Zhong Jian held her feet and hung her upside down over the lotus pond.

For some reason, although this lotus pond looks clear, it has an unignorable bloody smell.

Before Lan could react, a flash of water appeared in front of her eyes and she felt a pain on her face. The burning sensation made her tears burst out instantly.

Blood dripped into the pond, and Lan only saw a black shadow condensing under him.

The shadow gradually became clearer...

Lan's eyes suddenly widened and bulged, and his whole body began to tremble.

Everything in this water is fish!

These fish were the ones that bit her just now!

If they were just ordinary fish, it would be easy to deal with, but the fish in the pond beneath her were all sharp-tongued.

Lan had no doubt that if she fell into the pond, the fish would bite her until only bones were left.

Seeing another fish rushing towards him, Lan closed his eyes in horror.

However, the expected pain did not come. Lan opened his eyes and felt his body being pulled up and then put down.

"Zhong Jian, it's up to you to play games with Madam Lan. Don't make any mistakes, or Madam Lan will be in trouble."

Xue Shenyi's voice came from the shore, like a young man who respected his elders and spoke in a kind tone.

Lan felt as if the blood in his body had turned icy cold.

Zhong Jian's mouth twitched: "Yes."

Xue Shenyi asked Zhong Jian to hold the rope of just the right length. When it was released, the piranhas would not tear off Lan's flesh, but would only scratch her face with their sharp teeth.

After a few rounds, Lan was frightened and fainted. Xue Shenyi asked Zhong Jian to put her in the carriage and send her back safely, and he also wrote a letter to Minister Pei.

There were only four big words on the letter - It's your own fault.

—

At night, the Qianqing Palace.

Pei Yu wiped his freshly washed hair in front of the bronze mirror.

A pair of hands reached out, took the towel from his hand, and gently wiped Pei Yu's hair.

The freshly washed hair has a woody scent and feels as smooth as silk, passing through the fingers.

Pei Yu's face in the bronze mirror had a colder look than when he first entered the palace, and the boy's unique aggressiveness gradually emerged.

His Queen Mother has really grown up.

"Does Zhang Yin like to climb through windows so much?"

Pei Yu held down Xue Shenyi's wrist, his voice tinged with laughter.

Xue Shenyi whispered: "If the Majesty's bedroom could be opened to me every night, I wouldn't have to climb through the window every time."

Xue Shenyi used his inner strength to carefully dry his hair. Pei Yu suddenly looked up at him with clear eyes.

"So, the Master Seal wants to have fun with me every night?"

Pei Yu stroked Xue Shenyi's wrist with his fingers, and the warmth from his fingertips made Xue Shenyi's throat tighten.

He couldn't help but lower his head and stare at Pei Yu's face, and said helplessly: "My lady, don't speak so wildly in the future."

Pei Yu was not ashamed but proud to ask: "If the seal holder does not want to listen, then I will find someone else to talk to?"

Xue Shenyi frowned and pinched Pei Yu's cheek: "You dare!"

"I am the Queen Mother of a country, so why can't I have a few male lovers?"

Pei Yu was talking a lot.

Xue Shenyi became furious when he heard this, and lowered his head to kiss him hard on the lips.

In this position, Xue Shenyi could stroke Pei Yu's neck with his palm, grasping the overall situation like a hunter biting the throat of his prey.

Although he was the one receiving the kiss, Pei Yu could take in all of Xue Shenyi's gushing emotions. He freed one hand to press down Xue Shenyi's head, silently soothing his restless mood, and also quietly taking the initiative back into his own hands.

The posture changed at some point. Pei Yu turned around, supported the back of the chair with one hand, and pressed the back of Xue Shenyi's head with the other hand to deepen the kiss.

After a long while, Xue Shenyi pulled away and said with heavy breathing: "My lady, I am suffocating to death."

Seeing him like this, Pei Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "Master, how come you still can't learn how to breathe?"

"..."

Xue Shenyi's ears turned red, but he couldn't explain what was going on.

He's such a grown man, but he can't match the skills of a teenager?

After kissing for such a long time, he was almost holding it in and felt uneasy, but Pei Yu could still tease him calmly.

Could this be a gifted talent?

Xue Shenyi hummed a little depressed, and Pei Yu scratched his chin to smooth his hair.

Xue Shenyi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say things that I don't like to hear in the future."

"What?" Pei Yu asked back, pretending not to understand.

"Of course...keeping a concubine or something like that."

Xue Shenyi seemed to have difficulty speaking, and his face darkened after he said it.

Pei Yu chuckled and said, "Okay, I won't say it anymore."

"Then does the queen still want to keep a concubine?"

"You have to take care of it naturally."

Pei Yu pressed his fingertips on Xue Shenyi's lips, and when his eyes were about to spit fire, he whispered: "How about just raising one palm print?"
