Zhen is not a horny emperor!

Zhen is not a horny emperor!!

Zhen is not a horny emperor!!!

Chu Xun awkwardly drew back his lips. At the entrance of Mei Qian Deng's room, he recited those lines above three times and swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry (hungry) throat (desire) after a run.

"You're……awake?"

Female warrior Mei had a no matter when and where she could maintain her calm talent. She slowly put down the cup and softly replied, "En."

En, I'm awake now.

Explanation?

Why am I awake?

There was no explanation.

In any case, female warrior Mei didn't know how she woke up exactly.

Zhu Li's jaws crackled. She wanted to say something but scared of making a slip of her tongue. She hence stood on her tiptoes as she silently ran away from the "crime" scene. The matter between masters, it was better for the masters to solve it themselves. At any rate, nubi doesn't know anything. Doesn't know!!!

Two hours later.

Female warrior Mei sat on the bed, saying nothing.

Chu Xun sat in front of the table, saying nothing too.

The two of them maintained the silence from the beginning to the end.

Actually female warrior Mei didn't think of anything. She was waiting for the other person to start first since it had always been her style listening properly when others talking. She didn't have to convey anything. Since she was small, she was not an expressive person.

While Chu Xun, his mind had exploded, as if all the living things in the world had turned around once in his mind. Female warrior Mei who was far away could even feel the strong, black grudge from his body.

Female warrior Mei was honestly pondering whether to lie down to pretend unconscious again. If the Emperor wanted to kiss, he could kiss again once. After all, the Emperor must not be a horny emperor. He must just be wanting to feel the accomplishment of successfully saving others.

At the same time, "Zhen……"

Chu Xun really couldn't stop from opening his mouth. Yet, he didn't know what he should say. He would absolutely never reveal the fact he actually had knew Mei Qian Deng was just pretending to be unconscious. Else, wouldn't it make it clear that he an Emperor was trying to eat her tofu?

He had to avoid this hole, "Zhen knows. You don't really like the imperial palace. But zhen had caused you injured. The poison was too weird. Before the injury is healed, just stay in the palace. Zhen wants to take responsibility for you. Before your Sixth Brother left, he told zhen wherever you want to go will be according to your own decision."

"……fine."

Chu Xun was relieved. This was considered a makeshift idea. When would the injury consider as healed? What to do with the marriage Old Master Mei arranged for her? Which way should the two of them go next? He had yet to think of a complete solution.

"Is Tao Xiao Xian found yet?" Mei Qian Deng suddenly asked.

Chu Xun was still tormented about an Emperor's major life events so he shook his head unconsciously, "Still not found."

Mei Qian Deng was not that resentful like Chu Xun. Female warrior Mei who had experienced the carnage in jianghu was completely engrossed about the assassination. She was the same as Chu Xun at first. She couldn't understand. This assassination obviously spared no effort to carry out yet the assassin disguising as Xiao Jing Zi at the end had poison smeared on his dagger……

As long as someone kissed, that person would wake up? She had never hear such weird ** in the jianghu.

This time she experienced it first-hand. Mei Qian Deng felt this couldn't be considered as **. This was just a prank. If this was really a prank, clearly this assassin was opposing the previously desperate assassins. Where was the error exactly?

"Did you manage to find out who's the culprit behind the assassination?"

Chu Xun with a solemn face, "You had just wake up. Don't think of these troublesome matters. Just take a rest properly. Just leave everything to zhen."

Female warrior Mei had an unspeakable uneasiness. Being unconscious for many days was undoubtedly a torment. Now she had finally able to open her eyes and move freely. She didn't want to rest at all. However, she had always been well-behaved. If you said don't think then she wouldn't think. She immediately end this topic and changed her words to, "My stomach is very hungry. Can I go to the kitchen to find some food?"

Such an obedient female warrior Mei, it was unknown why she kept managed to anger Chu Xun previously.

"Ei, ei, ei. Don't move. Zhen will go order them to cook some porridge and bring it into your room."

"I want to eat meat……" After eating, she would practise. The second half line, Mei Qian Deng cleverly didn't say it out.

Because Chu Xun was like an old mom, he reproached, "Meat? Meat is not okay! Not allowed, not allowed. You have not eat for many days already. You can't just suddenly eat too heavy food. Your stomach can't handle that. At most, zhen will let them add some mincemeat in the porridge."

Your Majesty, you're actually stopping female warrior Mei from eating full so that she would remain too weak to leave the imperial palace, weren't you?

Chu Xun was about to summon people. He had walked to the door when Mei Qian Deng suddenly remembered a matter. She swiftly shot up from the bed. She jumped to Chu Xun's back with her hands stretched out. With a "pa——" she closed that door in front of Chu Xun.

Kabedon[1].

Chu Xun was shocked. He turned his body around and foolishly looked at female warrior Mei. On his back was the door. In front of him was the gradually nearing female warrior Mei. Beside his ears were female warrior Mei's hands.

Yes, it was the kabedon.

"Your Majesty, I need to discuss something with you."

The surrounded Emperor's heart was beating hard. Female warrior Mei had just took a bath this morning. Right now, the fragrance on her body was poking into Chu Xun's nose. The not horny Emperor Chu Xun gulped his saliva.

"Let's don't mention about me waking up first." Female warrior Mei didn't care at all the two floating blushes on Chu Xun's face. She had a serious face.

Chu Xun couldn't understand, "Why?"

Mei Qian Deng maintained that kabedon posture. She was thinking of the problem seriously. She didn't even realise her current posture was very weird. He could only see her bowing down her head thinking of something. After a moment she raised her head again. Chu Xun guessed she might had put her ideas into shape and made up her mind.

Mei Qian Deng said, "It's possible the one planned the assassination have some sort of conspiracy."

"Oh!" Chu Xun suddenly saw the light. He understood Mei Qian Deng's meaning. This was just meeting a plot with another plot[2]!

Thinking back, it was true. After the assassination failed, they should had kidnapped Tao Xiao Xian as a hostage. They would use Tao Xiao Xian to threaten Chu Xun something yet up to today there was no movements from those people and they couldn't find Tao Xiao Xian. They must be planning another new crisis secretly.

"Zhen thinks what you said are reasonable!"

Mei Qian Deng's eyes glanced sideway. She suddenly felt diffident. Seeing Chu Xun agreed, only then she felt relieved and pulled back her hands that were on the door.

(Chu Xun: Don't let go, don't let go, continue don[3] zhen!)

"Just now, I think Zhu Li is at your back."

"Zhen will go now look for her!"

Subsequently,

Zhu Li who got tugged back by Chu Xun expressed she was very surprised.

Zhu Li, "What? Young Miss Mei fainted again?!"

Chu Xun had a serious face, "En."

Zhu Li's eyes turned. It couldn't be that Young Miss Mei didn't know how to explain why she was awake so she decided to faint again?

"Oh, oh, oh, probably it's the relapse of the poison inside her body……" The more Zhu Li thought, the more she felt this was it. "Your Majesty, this poison is too weird. Prince Chen previously said he saw before someone could wake up the unconscious person with a kiss inside a fairy tale. Why don't Y-Your Majesty try it?" Zhu Li persevered in suggesting to Chu Xun.

Really, of all things she could mention, she had to mention that. Chu Xun's face instantly darkened.

F*ck you, can you stop telling this story already?!!

The next day.

Chu Xun went to attend the court while Eldest Young Master Mei and Divine Physician Xie had arrived early at Ming Jue Palace.

According to Divine Physician Xie, she had thought up another set of good ideas that could possibly wake Mei Qian Deng up.

At that time, Xie Yun had already rolled up her sleeves and pounced at Mei Qian Deng's bed.

Mei Qian Deng at the exact moment quickly sat up and poked Xie Yun's acupoints.

Her Sister-in-Law, Xie Yun had her eyes bulged appearance maintained, in the flash she couldn't move.

What had happened?!

Behind her, Eldest Young Master Mei was still shocked. He opened his mouth wide as he stuttered, "Little Seventh, w-why are you awake already?"

Mei Qian Deng didn't answer. She only raised her eyebrows and sized up Xie Yun who couldn't move. Eldest Young Master wanted to run over and release his wife's acupoints but he was stopped by female warrior Mei. She pulled a chicken feather they didn't manage to clean up and swept it under Xie Yun's nose.

Xie Yun couldn't move. Even her mute's gate had been poked. She could only use intense eyes to protest Mei Qian Deng's action. Yet, it had no use. After female warrior Mei swept it under her nose, she swept it behind her ears and finally she took Xie Yun's hands and tickled her at her palm.

Soon, Xie Yun's tears flowed nonstop.

"Little Seventh, Ah Yun is still your sister-in-law." Eldest Young Master Mei couldn't take it any longer. Although Xie Yun always one-sidedly wanted to challenge Mei Qian Deng, Mei Qian Deng had never pay attention to Xie Yun. Today for female warrior Mei to have the desire of revenge was possibly because Divine Physician Xie must had pranked female warrior Mei too much.

Mei Qian Deng quit while she was still ahead. She no longer bullied Xie Yun yet she didn't release her acupoints.

Eldest Young Master asked, "Little Seventh, how did you wake up?"

Mei Qian Deng recounted once everything that happened during the bath. Her eldest brother was marvelled repeatedly.

Eldest Young Master asked further, "Seeing how you retaliate Xie Yun, it can't be that when you're unconscious you really had awareness of the outside?"

Mei Qian Deng nodded. It was exactly because of this that she was unhappy the most. She obviously could hear, could feel, her conscious was around yet her eyes couldn't open, her body couldn't move and she couldn't tell anyone that she was conscious, was awake. It was really a cruel torture and torment.

"To think such thing exist, Eldest Brother had roamed the jianghu for so many years already yet had never heard of it."

Divine Physician Xie rolled her eyes in her heart. She quite regarded her own husband with contempt. She who had studied medical skills for more than twenty years also never see it, what more her husband the jianghu thug who only knew how to study secret martial arts skills, had simple brain and only used his four limbs.

Mei Qian Deng wasn't at loss about this matter. The truth was she had thought long about it for a long time for no success so she just gave up for now. She changed the topic, "That Zhao family went to our family to propose marriage, doesn't Brother know?"

"Ah?! Oh……I don't know!"

Female warrior Mei had sceptical eyes. Seeing her brother's reaction, it must be known by the whole family yet only she one of the main leads was kept in the dark.

Eldest Young Master himself felt guilty too so he changed, "Ai, isn't it because you're not in the house. That person is still the Martial Arts Alliance Leader. We can't just shame him in public. If it spreads out, how is Mei family going to stay? So, father received his betrothal gifts temporarily until you return and discuss it. We had already sent people to the Qi Yang City to search for you yet who would have thought you will complicate the issue with such accident. So, we never had the chance to tell you!"

It sounded a bit reasonable.

"Father and several uncles' thought, people with discerning eyes can see it clear. Eldest Brother has no need to cover it up for them."

That Zhao was the Martial Arts Alliance Leader. Others wished so much to be related to him. Now that Martial Arts Alliance Leader wanted to find a wife for his only son and went to Mei family, which Mei family elders would have the reason of rejecting? Anyway it was beneficial to Mei family too.

Mei Qian Deng said, "Although Mei family is not like the past, Alliance Leader Zhao still feared our influence. If I can marry into his Zhao family, it equals to giving Alliance Leader eat a relief. Plus in this jianghu, there is no better family than Zhao family. So, father favours it both in business and in private."

Actually the jianghu scheme Chu Xun previously talked with Zhao Mo Ran, the related people were well aware of it.

Eldest Young Master Mei sighed. This little sister of his had always been someone who could see the clearest. There was no need for him to explain further. Eldest Young Master only added, "Father also doesn't wish you to have any connection with the Emperor again."

It wasn't that Old Master Mei disliked Chu Xun. The change five years ago, Old Master had always thought this was a fortune in misfortune. There were losses, it was a bad luck but it turned out for the best. Plus, when Chu Xun cleared Mei family's name upon inheriting the throne, Old Master Mei had no longer wished to see Mei Qian Deng get too close with Chu Xun. Most of the reason was because he disliked Chu Xun's identity. Since ancient times, imperial family had countless rules, countless evildoers and countless problems yet there were only a few happy things.

Mei Qian Deng's clear eyes dimmed before returning calm in the next moment.

"His Majesty had discussed with me already. Before we have yet to confirm the culprit of this assassination, we will not reveal the news that I had already wake up for now."

Eldest Young Master Mei felt doing this made sense. He went along, "Since it's like that, your sister-in-law and I are well aware of the situation." Xie Yun was the physician. It was impossible to hide it from her so Mei Qian Deng specially told them not to spread it outside.

"Sixth Brother went searching for Tao Xiao Xian. Until now, he had yet to find her. The matter this time probably still need some time to resolve."

"Oh……Sixth Brother is quite nervous for Xiao Xian now."

"En……"

Eldest Young Master, did you think your little sister's words revealed some sort of message for you?

Nothing, it was really nothing.

Sometimes, a man's brain would be very grave and one-track minded.

Xie Yun at the side almost had her eyes popped out. Eldest Young Master Mei pitied his own wife and discussed with Mei Qian Deng, "We're done with both proper business and trivial business. Can you release your sister-in-law already? She won't speak randomly. You can relax."

Mei Qian Deng declined to comment.

Eldest Young Master quickly helped Xie Yun released her acupoints. Who knew Xie Yun immediately spit out, "Little Seventh, don't think that by hiding in the palace you will be able to dodge this marriage."

Female warrior Mei frowned. I really shouldn't let Eldest Brother release your acupoints.

Eldest Young Master instantly rebuked for his little sister, "Ah Yun, don't talk nonsense. Qian Deng is not this sort of person."

Eldest Brother, talk clearly. What sort of person is this sort of person?!

[1] Literally, door "dong". Dong is the Chinese sound made when slapped onto the door. I used the Japanese term to make it easier to understand.

[2] An idiom. Another version is to beat someone at his own game.

[3] It's only the "dong" (translated as don here) in the original text. Full term is kabedon.
