Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 182 Ingratitude and Deceit (17)

When Bu Shaoluan learned that he had become the crown prince and would soon ascend the throne, he was still sparring with Chen Qing on the training ground.

Shen Xuntang has been very busy lately and hasn't had time to pay attention to him.

He hadn't seen Shen Xuntang for almost half a month.

Even the osmanthus flowers in Ruotang's courtyard have bloomed, but Shen Xuntang seems to be busy with something.

Chen Qing just happened to run into the line of fire today, where he had nowhere to vent his frustration.

Neither of them carried weapons; they fought bare-handed on the vast training ground, exchanging blows without holding back.

Chen Qing, who had originally intended to tease the child, had no choice but to focus all his attention on dealing with the rapidly growing boy amidst the fierce punches.

I still remember when Shen Xuntang threw that tiny kid at him two years ago. His frail body looked like it couldn't even withstand a punch from him.

Now we can actually hold our own against him.

Exhausted from the fight, the two disregarded their status and simply lay back on the ring.

Looking at the blazing sun overhead, Bu Shaoluan raised his hand to shield his eyes, trying to gather the scorching light into his palm, but he only grasped a wisp of air.

Chen Qing sat up, panting as he looked at the man. "Your Highness, you are in the prime of your life. Why waste your time on Shen Xuntang, that unromantic man? Besides, he's a eunuch."

Chen Qing's tone was nonchalant; he was usually quite informal even when speaking to Shen Xuntang.

As he spoke, he reached out to pat the boy's shoulder, but was frozen in place by an extremely cold gaze.

Bu Shaoluan stood up and looked down at the young man sitting on the ground.

"Don't let me hear those words again."

Shen Xuntang was referred to as a "eunuch" in this somewhat contemptuous tone.

he does not like.

He didn't know where this displeasure came from.

But he just didn't want others to look down on Shen Xuntang.

The boy's voice was clear and melodious, but his tone carried a hint of coldness.

Chen Qing's expression froze on his face as he looked up at the boy.

Backlit, the boy's shoulders and face were not clearly visible, but he still exuded a sense of oppression.

Chen Qing sighed softly.

Shen Xuntang held a more important place in Bu Shaoluan's heart than he had imagined.

Just as the two were facing off, the eunuch who was delivering the message rushed over.

Upon seeing Bu Shaoluan, he hurriedly knelt down, "Congratulations on Your Highness's ascension to the throne!"

Bu Shaoluan was taken aback by what he heard, but the little eunuch continued to ramble on with flattering words.

Seeing that the boy was already stunned, Chen Qing gave the reward money to the eunuch on his behalf.

The young eunuch retreated with a smug look on his face.

Seeing that the boy was still in a daze, he got up and patted him on the shoulder.

"I've come to my senses. After today, I will have to bow deeply to you whenever I see you."

As Chen Qing spoke, he pursed his lips, as if he was somewhat displeased.

Bu Shaoluan was brought back to his senses by the slap.

He mechanically turned his head to look at Chen Qing, "What did that little eunuch just say?"

Chen Qing looked at the stunned boy and sighed softly.

She seems quite clever on a normal day.

Why does it suddenly stop working at times like this?

“Our emperor is dead, and you have become his successor.”

There was not a trace of respect in Chen Qing's tone.

This emperor certainly did his fair share of troubles when he was leading his troops on campaigns.

If not...

Chen Qing seemed to be thinking of something unpleasant, and his usually playful smile turned serious.

Bu Shaoluan seemed somewhat bewildered, "But..."

But what?

But Shen Xuntang never told him?

Or is it that he lacks experience as an emperor?

This cannot change the fact that he is the next emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The sixteen-year-old boy suddenly felt a little lost.

Some are at a loss.

He didn't know what to do.

Chen Qing looked at the boy, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Since you can't change it, try to accept it."

After saying that, Chen Qing packed his things and prepared to leave.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at Bu Shaoluan, and said, "Your Highness, now that you're successful, remember to give me back the tip I just gave you."

Bu Shaoluan was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.

Seeing the boy's somewhat bewildered face, Chen Qing was "heartbroken" and made a gesture of clutching his heart like Xi Shi.

"Your Highness, I'm not like you. I'm counting on this meager salary to get married. I haven't even gotten married yet, so you can't renege on your promise."

Bu Shaoluan looked at the pretentious and exaggerated person in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He took a silver ingot out of his purse and tossed it to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing hurriedly caught it, his face beaming with joy, and quickly stuffed the silver into his pocket.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. I'll be taking my leave now."

After saying that, without waiting for the boy's reaction, she turned and left, humming a little tune.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

Bu Shaoluan remained standing there, stunned.

The boy watched Chen Qing's retreating figure and smiled.

After Chen Qing's witty remarks, I felt less heavy-hearted.

He looked up at the sky, which was clear and cloudless.

I don't know if I can hold up this sky.

Bu Shaoluan shook his head helplessly.

Shen Xuntang chose him because he wanted a puppet.

How could we possibly delegate authority to him?

He was merely a pawn placed on the stage by Shen Xuntang.

Even though I had suspected it beforehand, I still couldn't help but feel sad when the day actually came.

The boy raised his hand to cover his chest, but the heavy, suffocating feeling wouldn't go away.

He doesn't care about you at all, does he?

He even heard about his succession from someone else.

Shen Xuntang didn't even consult with him at all.

Despite the blazing sun, Bu Shaoluan felt only a chill running through his body.
