How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

After only half a day's journey, continuous wailing sounds were heard from Xie Chengze's carriage.

"It's so shaking, it's so shaking, my old waist——"

"What a crappy car, what a crappy road! Sooner or later I will turn all of you into asphalt roads!"

"It's so hot. How come it's only been half a day and we've already reached Yizhou? I won't become a roasted chicken, will I?"

Shen Yuan had a headache while sitting on the horseback. He could not help but lift the side curtain and said in a bad temper, "There is no need to go to Yizhou. I think that by night, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be completely broken!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Xie Chengze covered his waist and said with an accusing look, "You are mean to me? I went south to Yizhou, wasn't it for you?"

for him?

Shen Yuan was so angry that he laughed. Just when he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of a person lying on a chair under the curtain. The person had taken off his palace robe at some point and was only wearing a thin red silk undershirt. Her jade-white fingers were rubbing her lower back. The red silk belt with gold trim was pulled loose, and the undershirt also fell down, revealing half of her eye-catching snow-white chest.

It was summer, and even putting ice in the carriage could not dispel the heat. He fanned a golden fan in order to cool down, which made his already loose and falling undershirt even more revealing.

The young man, who was not yet twenty, had a slender and handsome figure. The thin red undershirt was soft and fitted, outlining his slender waist to the utmost. Combined with his eye-catching white face, flushed from the heat, and eyes that seemed both aggrieved and accusing, Shen Yuan felt his heart skip a beat.

His eyes subconsciously turned away in avoidance.

He had never seen Xie Chengze like this.

In his previous life, Xie Chengze was like a mad dog that would bite anyone he saw. It was easy for people to overlook his androgynous beauty and only remember his cruelty and tyranny.

He was extravagant and despotic, doing whatever he wanted and being the only one who mattered. Because the weather was too hot, he would even cover the entire Chenghuan Palace with ice cubes and splash water day and night to keep cool, making others angry but not dare to say anything.

But at this moment, Xie Chengze was like a little wild cat that had just been raised in the capital, weak yet with a bit of sharpness that was not annoying.

He huddled in the carriage feeling aggrieved, holding a small bucket of ice to keep cool. Even though he was ridiculed by himself, he only dared to show his cat claws but did not dare to really scratch anyone.

So cowardly.

Having seen his extravagance in the past, Shen Yuan found him ridiculous and laughable when looking at him now.

Would a person who was stabbed to death and reborn really change so much? Would he really endure humiliation and pretend to be the person he hated the most in front of the murderer?

Shen Yuan lowered his dark eyes slightly, fiddling with the green sword on his waist from time to time. In his previous life, if he had not secretly rescued the prince and stabbed him to death on the dragon throne on the day Xie Chengze ascended the throne, Xie Chengze would have almost succeeded in ascending the throne and becoming the new emperor.

A person like him who has great ambitions but lacks the ability to match them will never choose to give up when he is just one step away from success. He may even think that God has given him a rebirth to give him a second chance to ascend the throne.

After leaving Chenghuan Palace yesterday, he was thinking that the reason why Xie Chengze took the initiative to propose going south to Yizhou was probably because he wanted to follow the path that the prince had taken in his previous life, thinking that this way he could become the "prince".

Undoubtedly, as long as he disguised himself well enough, he could win over himself, who had just entered the officialdom and had no scruples about him at this time. With his loyal service, coupled with his foresight in his previous life, his path to the throne would naturally be easier than in his previous life.

To this end, he did not hesitate to stay in the carriage like he is now, feeling cowardly and aggrieved, using that attractive body to show off his charm and seduce me.

He said that he conquered Yizhou for him, but it was obviously for his own selfish desires.

High-sounding.

Seeing through Xie Chengze's disguise, Shen Yuan couldn't help but sneer, his tone becoming increasingly cold and distant, "If the Second Prince can't stand this hardship, you can just go back to the capital. I believe that His Majesty and the officials will not laugh at you!"

His sarcasm was so obvious that it was hard for Xie Chengze not to hear it.

Xie Chengze didn't understand. How did he provoke him? He just felt hot and had a backache, so why didn't he let people tell the truth and complain?

Xie Chengze was already very hot-tempered, and was mocked by Shen Yuan in such a way that his temper also came up. He couldn't help but snorted, "Then I'll leave?"

"If His Royal Highness the Second Prince wants to leave, how can I stop him?" Shen Yuan continued to retort.

"Okay." Xie Chengze sat up, stuck his head out of the carriage window, and shouted, "Wuhen! Wuhen!"

A dark figure landed silently in front of the carriage, revealing his broad back without reservation, "Your Highness."

Xie Chengze climbed out of the car window, climbed onto Wuhen's back, and made a face at Shen Yuan, "Lord Shen's authority is really great. I will not serve you anymore. Goodbye~"

The next moment, Wuhen used his Qinggong skills, carried Xie Chengze on his back and ran away.

Shen Yuan: ???

Shen Yuan was stunned. When he came to his senses, he whipped his horse and chased after the two men.

Even though he hated Xie Chengze, he was still a prince after all. If he left after arguing with him, and something unexpected happened on the way, his Shen family would be buried with him!

Damn Xie Chengze, he used to be ruthless, but now he is so shameless!

Shen Yuan chased in the direction the two men left, but then he remembered something and drove his horse back to the carriage. He stuffed the red palace robe with gold thread that had been ruthlessly discarded on the chair by its owner into his arms, and then hurriedly chased after them.

As they chased, they found that the direction Xie Chengze was heading was not the direction back to Beijing.

Wuhen's lightness skill was not as good as Wuji's, but his speed was faster than a horse. Shen Yuan soon couldn't catch up with him. Just looking at the direction they were going, it was obviously Zhuolu County.

Zhuolu County...

Shen Yuan's eyes flickered as he thought of something.

……

Zhuolu County is a rather prosperous county in the northeast corner of Jizhou. Because it is only half a day's ride away from the capital, the lifestyle of the people in Zhuolu County is very similar to that of the people in the capital. Many popular styles in the capital will become popular in Zhuolu County in just half a day.

Wuhen carried Xie Chengze on his back and walked into a clothing store with ease. When he came out, Xie Chengze was the only one left. He was wearing a slim-fitting dark red brocade robe, which was low-key and restrained. His waist-length black hair was tied up high with an exquisite black jade crown, making him look like a graceful young man.

He stood outside the clothing store with a gold-thread fan in his hand, blocking out the dazzling midday sun with the fan. The men and women passing by could not help but stop and glance at him, secretly sighing that this young man was really a good-looking man.

A stunningly beautiful young man came to the city, and the news soon spread throughout the entire county.

When Xie Chengze was sitting on the second floor of Mingxiang Tower sipping tea, he heard a commotion downstairs. A team of yamen runners in official uniforms broke into the teahouse and knocked over many tea tables with their arrogant steps, causing the tea drinkers to be angry but not dare to say anything.

"Let me see where the little beauty is?"

A fat little man wearing gold and silver jewelry and holding a gold-threaded robe walked up the stairs in a swagger. He caught a glimpse of Xie Chengze who was smelling the fragrance and sipping tea by the window. Even though he was wearing sombre dark and inconspicuous clothes, it was difficult to conceal his stunningly beautiful face.

The little fat boy was so stunned that he couldn't even walk anymore. "So, so beautiful!"

Xie Chengze glanced at him sideways, then looked away indifferently, but in the eyes of the little fat boy, he saw the beauty sending him a wink, shyly and awkwardly wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

He ran over excitedly, but because he was too fat, he lost his balance and fell on the stairs. However, he quickly got up and strode towards Xie Chengze.
