Chapter 138 His Majesty's Hand
"Sir, you are truly a poet with unparalleled talent. The way that Hu Ji looked at you just now was as if she wanted to swallow you up." He Feng praised.
Chen Dong looked at He Feng expressionlessly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He Feng suddenly realized that he had flattered the horse but hit the horse's leg. Lord Chen didn't have that kind of thing, and Hu Ji's flirting was just for the blind.
"Sir, I will leave some people to guard the entrance of the Ghost Market. Once those two thieves are found, they will be captured immediately!" He Feng said, patting his chest.
Chen Dong said, "Check the master behind Tianbao Pavilion. The Western Region colored glaze is very expensive, and there are countless rare treasures in it. The shopkeeper's martial arts are not weak either. To be able to command such a person, he must be in a high position and have great power. Under the feet of the emperor, no one more arrogant than me is allowed."
He Feng quickly agreed.
A person suddenly flashed through Chen Dong’s mind—Prince Jing.
The greatest traitor appears loyal.
On the surface, Prince Jing looks harmless and just a carefree prince, but who knows what kind of person he is in private?
As for the Yuwen family, they are extremely powerful and would not be interested in the leftovers from the Ghost Market, so they would not lower their status to set up the Tianbao Pavilion.
The Yu Family Chamber of Commerce is not as powerful as ten Tianbao Pavilions combined.
"How much do you know about Prince Jing?" Chen Dong asked.
He Feng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help thinking about the purpose of Chen Dong's question.
After all, Chen Dong is a favorite of His Majesty, and he represents His Majesty!
Is His Majesty going to take action against Prince Jing?
He Feng's eyes rolled around and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chen Dong glared at him and said unhappily, "Don't think about those messy things. Just say what you know!"
He Feng then said, "This is just an idle prince who has no knowledge and no skills. He revels every night and flirts with women. However, he never bullies others by taking advantage of his power, nor does he bully men or women. I have never heard of him violating the laws of Dayan."
Chen Dong pondered and said, "His expenses are not small, right? Where does the money come from? Selling official positions and titles?"
"How would I know?" He Feng said with a wry smile, "But it shouldn't be his turn to use connections. He doesn't even have a job, so who would ask him for help?"
The city guards were too conspicuous, so Chen Dong did not assign the surveillance task to He Feng. Instead, he selected someone from the Imperial Guards to keep an eye on Prince Jing's Mansion.
At the same time, he also arranged two people to secretly investigate the source of Prince Jing's funds.
Once Prince Jing takes the silver that he shouldn't have, don't blame the Jinyiwei for being ruthless with their swords!
…………
As soon as Chen Dong passed the palace gate, he was told by the Jinyiwei guarding the palace gate that the emperor was looking for him.
Although he felt strange, he still kept walking and came to Yan Yunzheng's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Chen Dong said.
Rarely, Yan Yunzheng was not reviewing memorials, but was looking at a painting.
Chen Dong took a closer look and found that it was actually a portrait of a woman.
"The woman in this painting has an extraordinary appearance and a graceful figure. Which family is she from to be sent to the palace?" Chen Dong laughed.
Yan Yunzheng glared at him unhappily, "You are only thinking about that thing in your crotch! This is the princess of Chuyun Kingdom, who requested Dayan to send troops to help her eliminate the rebellion. After the task is completed, she will submit to Dayan. If I don't mind, she is willing to offer herself to my bed."
"The Northern Expedition is imminent, we won't help." Chen Dong said decisively.
Yan Yunzheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Strange, this is not like your character!"
"What's my personality?" Chen Dong spread his hands.
"You can't move when you see a woman!" Yan Yunzheng snorted unhappily.
Chen Dong: "..."
"It really makes me sad when you look at me like that." Chen Dong covered his chest and said in a wronged manner.
Yan Yunzheng's face remained calm as he watched Chen Dong's performance quietly.
Chen Dong couldn't act anymore.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I was looked down upon by Prince Jing." Chen Dong sighed and told Yan Yunzheng what happened in Prince Jing's mansion.
Yan Yunzheng already knew about Wen Xuan, so there was no need for Chen Dong to hide it.
"It's been several days, why did you only tell me today?" Yan Yunzheng couldn't help but look at him strangely, "Are you trying to secretly take revenge on Prince Jing?"
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "You have seen through all this. I did think that I would settle the score later when I am in a high position. However, today I went to the ghost market and saw Tianbao Pavilion. I suspect that the master behind Tianbao Pavilion is Prince Jing."
Chen Dong recounted the entire story of Tianbao Pavilion in detail.
"You suspect Prince Jing?" Yan Yunzheng pondered, "But, as far as I know, he is not an ambitious person. It is not him who controls Tianbao Pavilion."
"The Tianbao Pavilion has countless rare treasures, and upstairs is a den of lavish spending, making a fortune every day. Isn't it reasonable to use this money to support Prince Jing's expenses?" Chen Dong said.
He knocked on the table and snorted heavily, "Anyway, I've got my eyes on Prince Jing! It would be best if he doesn't have any hidden agenda. If he does, I'll take him down right away!"
"It's not necessarily reasonable. Prince Jing is a royal family member after all. You have to be careful when investigating." Yan Yunzheng advised.
Chen Dong opened his hands and grasped a handful, "My hands are the most measured."
Yan Yunzheng glared at him and slowly rolled up the portrait. "Really not going to help?"
Chen Dong said helplessly: "It's no good to help her. Just for the false title of a suzerain state? Thousands of cattle and sheep as tribute every year? We in Dayan don't need that little rubbish!"
"But I think she is very similar to me in the past. When I first ascended the throne, I faced the same panic and despair as her." Yan Yunzheng's eyes dimmed slightly.
She had experienced the despair and helplessness of having no one to trust and being surrounded by enemies, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for the princess who was in the same situation.
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, then walked over and hugged Yan Yunzheng tightly.
Yan Yunzheng did not refuse or struggle. Instead, he leaned his head on Chen Dong's shoulder, with an indescribable look of fatigue and desolation on his face.
This kind of her made Chen Dong soften his heart again.
"Since you want to help her, then help her. Just think of it as training." Chen Dong sighed.
"Really?" Yan Yunzheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he stared straight at Chen Dong.
In her eyes, Chen Dong seemed to be wearing a huge halo at this moment.
Chen Dong said lovingly, "Since you said so, how can I be so cruel as not to help you?"
Yan Yunzheng's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but hook his arms around Chen Dong's neck and kiss him hard.
She accepted this kiss willingly.
How could Chen Dong bear it any longer? He stretched out his claws to rescue Yan Yunzheng.
But Yan Yunzheng held Chen Dong's hand and whispered: "I... I will give it to you with my hand..."
Chen Dong's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Yan Yunzheng in disbelief.
Yan Yunzheng shyly avoided Chen Dong's burning gaze. Her pretty face was glowing with an alluring blush in the dim light.
"Did I hear correctly?" Chen Dong said with a wicked smile, "Your Majesty just mentioned the hand..."
Yan Yunzheng glared at Chen Dong angrily and said, "Forget it if you don't need it!"
"Use, use, use. It is my great honor to be able to serve His Majesty personally." Chen Dong joked.
Yan Yunzheng gritted his teeth and said, "No, I regret it."
"No, no, no, I was wrong. From now on, I won't say a word." Chen Dong made a zipper gesture with his mouth.
Then, she quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down, looking at Yan Yunzheng with a smile.
Yan Yunzheng mustered up his courage and walked towards Chen Dong.
Those hands were like flawless jade, crystal clear.
