Chapter 538: Chapter 540 The Best Manly Style

Shao He was despondently shaking her head when suddenly a scream erupted.

She hastily ran downstairs and followed the crowd to the brothel’s exterior, only to see the Oiran lying in a pool of blood, a dagger embedded in her chest.

Pei Jingyi dashed over, shouting loudly, "Doctor, where’s the Doctor!"

He was not lingering over lost emotions but feared the situation spiraling out of control.

The guard hurriedly fetched a doctor from a nearby pharmacy. Upon seeing the woman with her eyes tightly shut, he tremulously reached out to check her pulse.

"She, she’s dead," the Doctor announced and then fled in panic.

The Procuress, having not expected such a turn of events, wailed, "My heavens, how could my fine girl end up like this?"

In reality, she wanted to seize the opportunity to extort some Silver.

The Fourth Prince’s gaze was dark as he watched the Procuress, fully aware of her intentions. He pulled out three silver notes and handed them over.

"You know what to say."

The Procuress’s eyes glinted as she stared at the silver notes, and she nodded repeatedly, "She poisoned the Fourth Prince and committed suicide upon being discovered."

Although the Procuress was greedy, she was not foolish. She knew what should and shouldn’t be said.

"Hmm, very good."

Pei Jingyi nodded in satisfaction, then instructed the Procuress to explain everything to the official residence. He then boarded the carriage with his guards and left.

"What do you plan to do?" Shao He asked, hands crossed in front of her chest, as she watched the person behind her.

This was a golden opportunity. If The Emperor were to learn everything, Pei Jingyi’s fate wouldn’t be any better than Pei Chengye’s.

Pei Huaian’s lips curved slightly, "We don’t need to lift a finger, someone will naturally cause him trouble."

Seeing his confident manner, Shao He asked quietly, "You mean that person?"

"Correct, let’s go," Pei Huaian said, pulling her along as they quickly left.

The onlookers gazed in astonishment at the two men holding hands, nearly popping their eyes out.

"Heavens, isn’t that the newly appointed Crown Prince?"

"Yes, who is that man beside him, and why are they so intimate?"

"No wonder the Crown Prince chose to bring that child’s Female Doctor. It’s merely to cover up his preference for men."

"Tsk tsk, Doctor Shao is really too pitiable, being used like this." _{fre(e)webnove.l.c.om}

Everyone’s attention was immediately captured by Pei Huaian, to the extent that they forgot about the death of the Oiran.

Shao He, not yet far away, glanced at the person next to her and teasingly said, "I didn’t expect the Crown Prince to have a taste for men. This news might shock people more than the Fourth Prince forcing the Oiran to her death."

Catching the teasing tone in her voice, Pei Huaian turned his head to look at her, chuckling, "Yes, as long as that person is you, what does it matter if it’s a man or woman?"

Shao He blinked her beautiful eyes and laughed, "I never imagined Your Highness could be so eloquent. No wonder you deceive so many women."

Pei Huaian snorted softly, turning his face away, no longer paying her any attention.

"Oh come on, I was just speaking off the cuff, why so serious?" Shao He pretended to be angry.

Pei Huaian raised his eyebrow, his tone incredibly serious, "The only one I like is you. I’ve never liked any other woman."

"That’s not necessarily true."

Shao He couldn’t withstand his intense gaze and hastily averted her eyes. She inadvertently spoke in sarcasm, which angered someone.

Pei Huaian suddenly pulled her close, pinning her against a tree trunk, his head bowed and eyes dangerous.

"Do you really distrust me so much?"

Shao He was guilty but still retorted defiantly, "I of course..."

She was cut off mid-sentence as her lips were sealed.

"Mmm..."

Shao He’s eyes widened as she stared at his handsome face up close.

His breath sprayed across her nose and ear, tender and lingering like feathers, stirring her heartstrings.

She involuntarily raised her arms to wrap around his neck, slowly kissing him back.

Pei Huaian, sensing the movements of the woman in his arms, kissed her even more passionately, as if he wanted to crush her into his embrace, to merge into his marrow, never to be separated.

Only when their breaths became labored did Pei Huaian slowly let her go.

He gazed down at the ravishing beauty in his arms, whispering, "You can only be my woman in this lifetime, always."

Shao He leaned into his embrace, gently nodding, "Mm."

The two embraced each other, feeling each other’s presence, as if at that moment, time had stopped flowing.

"Shao He, promise me, no matter what happens, never let go of my hand."

"Okay."

The two gazed deeply at each other, and after a long while, Shao He lightly pushed Pei Huaian away, tiptoeing to lightly peck his cool lips.

Pei Huaian’s heart thumped wildly, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and he said hoarsely, "Let’s go home."

"We’re going home," Shao He nodded, interlocking her fingers with his as they left.

At night, everything quieted down. The streets were sparsely populated, and the few passersby hurried on their way, having no leisure to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Around the rooftops, a black shadow swiftly flitted by, heading straight for the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

In the study, Pei Jingyi sat on a chair, his complexion cold as he stared out the window, his body emanating a strong aura of hostility.

"Find out everything about the Oiran. This prince shall see who dares to act against me!"

"Master, could it be the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingyi thought it made some sense since Shao He knew medicine and could concoct such a poison rather easily.

Suddenly, he thought of something and a brilliant smile curled his lips.

"It must be him!"
