Favored Crazy Consort: Ghost Emperor too Proud

Chapter 7

In the center of a large study, a person wearing a black brocade robe adorned with expensive dark lines of embroidery(1). Wearing a golden crown, a tall and straight stature with his hands clasped behind his back and standing facing the door stood Chu Yichen, war god of the great Han dynasty and Prince Ling(2).

Two other people sat to his right.

Covered in an embroidered cyan robe from head to toe, hair bound with a jade crown, two red Phoenix eyes(3) with a smile, slender/tender fingers(4) holding a folding fan while tapping it in his palm: this person was called Yanli(5). He is Chu Yichen’s moneybag(6). 80 percent of the entire Han Dynasty were under his name. As a sworn friend of Chen Yichen, he is looking at his face gently, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised. In the other seat, Jiang Siyue is the other sworn friend of Chen Yichen. At the same time, he is also the younger fellow disciple of the same master from the jianghu(7). As the clan leader of Miaoyu(8), the whole of ShengHan continent is under his(Siyue) control. His whole body was covered with a navy blue robe. His hair was tied up with a fabric of the same color. With a pair of shining eyes, and his delicate five views(9), if one doesn’t examine carefully, they would mistakenly believe he is a woman.

“What? Your Highness is planning to agree to this marriage?”, Jiang Siyue gracefully held his tea and lifted the lid of the tea while asking lightly. Yanli looked over and said, “otherwise, if he defies the decree?”

“It’s not about what is and isn’t possible. It’s what His Highness wants.”, Jiang Siyue replied to him as he raised a charming eyebrow. Yanli quickly glared at him. Turning his head away to look towards Chu Yichen who’s back was still facing them, he asked, “Yichen, what are you thinking?”

“Obey your orders!”, Chu Yichen’ said steadily without losing his dignity. He was magnetic and majestic. His voice gave the impression of a Bass loudspeaker(10). Jiang Siyue dropped his teacup, but it barely made any sounds, nor did it spill. He purses his lips and sighed, “Chu Yichen, can’t you just stop? How long do you want step aside to Zhuang Hanyun and continue being lead on by her? Do you really owe her?”

“Siyue, Yichen has his reasons. It’s not what you think.”, Yanli immediately soothed and gave him a meaningful wink. Chu Yichen turned around and saw the twinkling eyes on their faces. The two thick eyebrows slightly knit, the corners of his mouth faintly tilted upwards and his eyes looked deeper due to the tall and straight bridge of his nose. These exquisite five views altogether in one place were simply incomparable. “I agree. Not for her.” As soon as he opened his mouth again, that magnetic voice would arouse you and cause you to sink into depravity. “In that case, why? This is obviously for the sake of humiliating you. Can’t you see?”, Jiang Siyue waved his hands angrily. Yanli admonished him, “I told you Siyue. Don’t worry. Did you forget who the fourth daughter of Zhuo Baiyuan is?

“Who is it? Ah!…right… Zi”, Jiang Siyue suddenly stared with big eyes. He looked at the two people again and saw that they were both nodding. He exhaled and said, “But…… she is a fool……”

“She was before. But now, she isn’t…….”, Chu Yichen sat in the chair beside him. He picked up the tea beside him and immediately began to drink it.

“No? Really??, Jiang Siyue widened his eyes again. Chu Yichen nodded and said, “Yes, really. Also, a few days ago I even saved her in the Zhuo residence. Yanli nodded his head and laughed. “Originally, we all promised to absolutely protect elder sister Zi’s descendants carefully. Now, it’s time to make good on our promise….”

Siyue still disagreed, “Still there are other methods. This…….”

“Siyue, have you ever considered why Zhuanh Hanyun chose the fourth miss for Yichen?” Yanli opened the folding fan in his hand. He made a “pa” sound by smacking it against his palm and smiled at him.

“That’s right! It’s because she is a fool. With this she can cause shame!”, Jiang Siyue said. “Correct. If Yichen doesn’t marry, she can still select another. But what do you think will happen to the fourth miss?”

“Right, there will be no value of the Zhuo residence. They will die.”, Jiang Siyue was clever. He understood it and heaved a sigh. Chu Yichen nodded, “she’s good and also pretty talented. If she leaves that place, she might love for a long time……”.

“Yichen, don’t say I didn’t warn you. With the power of my Miaoyu clan, we still haven’t found out the origin of big sister Zi after all of these years. We are all aware of how mysterious she is. Previously, it was not necessary. Now however, it is essential that we check carefully again.”, Jiang Siyue looked at him.

“As long as she doesn’t come to me and destroy our plan, let her!”. Chu Yichen said. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Then a man came in and handed him a note with both hands towards Yichen’s face considerately. After reading the contents of the message, Chu Yichen once again lifted the corner of his mouth, “She already knew it! This little girl is a little fun!” Jiang Siyue took a look at the note and gave it to Yanli. He said to Chu Yichen, “If she knew that big sister Zi’s death was strange, and investigates fully, it’s likely our plan really will be destroyed”.

“Siyue is right. What are we going to do then?”, Yanli looked up at him from the note.

Chu Yichen shook his head, “People who have died once should learn from experience. Let’s talk about it later. For now, we just need to think about keeping her safe”.

“By the way, when will Kang Yang prefecture raise a hand to strike?”, Yanli asked. “After my marriage. Also, do you know who Zhuo Baiyuan gave the painting to?”, Chu Yichen looked at Jiang Siyue. He picked up his cup from the table took a sip of tea, “Our old rival GuangPing is waiting for Xiao Jingyu.”

“As expected, it’s him!”, Chu Yichen closed his eyes. “Arrange for people in order to strengthen the protection of the Fourth Miss. This old fox has already had the painting for half a year. It is unlikely he won’t spy to obtain what he wants.”, Chu Yichen said. Jiang Siyue asked, “Do you mean he will do something to the fourth miss?

“Not likely. What if big sister Zi’s child received the treasure? Now that a person is dead, Who will he try to find?, “Chu Yichen gave a cold snort. Yanli and Jiang Siyue couldn’t help but nod. Yanli then tapped his palm with his folding fam and said, “You both said that big Sister Zi drew so many pictures during those years. Why does old thief Xiao want this one?”. While saying this, he pointed to the landscape on the wall of the study. “I too have thought about this. Although we were three years old at that time, and each of us had a painting, but did you all realize our paintings were different…..?”, Jiang Siyue looked at both of them.

Chu Yichen nodded, “Certainly they were different. It’s not the same as the one she put on the island.”

“So that’s how she was able to deliver messages during those years. She had also said that she came to Beijing in order to find someone. In these years, I managed the affairs in the Yamen(12) and discovered that sixteen years ago this ‘retired scholar of Qinhuai’ was very big in the Han Dynasty. He was really popular.”, Jiang Siyue arched his eyebrows. Chu Yichen and Yanli nodded once again. Chu Yichen said, “Now, let’s do this one step at a time. First, take over her safety, then begin to clean up KangYang prefecture. As for old Xiao, naturally wait until he receives news from KangYang prefecture later. Yanli and Jiang Siyue nodded together, “then we shall go prepare right away”. After the two left, Chu Yichen picked up a mask from his desk and studied it. It was a mask completely covered in colorful feathers. It could cover his face to the bridge of his nose and upwards. At the same time, it was the origin of his title, “Ghost Face King”.

Wow. This chapter was really hard to translate. This chapter has not been edited yet. Will do it tomorrow. I also need to fix the tensing for the earlier paragraphs. I think things are starting to get spicy. It is my belief that Zi is QingYan’s mom. I have a lot of footnotes. I have not yet dictated all of the meanings yet. I will post what I have below. What I don’t have will be posted tomorrow. Also, YICHEN IS A SUGAR BABY! Please let me know if you see any errors
