The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Afraid You’ll Lose Composure

But when Yu Shikui heard that Shang Jingwang was about to plead for Huangfu Jingchen, he thought to himself, when has such a good thing ever happened in this world?

His heart was filled with hatred, and he immediately started: ”How daring, Shang Jingwang, impersonating and deceiving, these are all indisputable facts. This person is utterly fearless, Lord Imperial Envoy is here, and you want to conceal it for him?”

Huangfu Jinxuan glared at Yu Shikui impatiently, saying: ”Toilet cleaner, shut up! Is it your turn to speak out for this young master?”

He turned his head and said, ”Shang Jingwang, your merits are your merits, and others’ faults are faults, they shouldn’t be confused, even if you have just received praise from my Imperial Uncle, you can’t harbor! Step aside and let me personally teach this little rascal a lesson!”

Once these words were spoken, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a murderous aura that defied laws and limits.

Clearly, in his eyes, human life didn’t count for much. Anyone daring to impersonate him would have to face his wrath, being killed was the least punishment.

The mention of toilet cleaning nearly made Yu Shikui pass out, gazing at the arrogant and brazen young man in brocade clothes, a hint of malice flashed deep in his eyes but was quickly hidden by lowering his eyelids.

Dissatisfied? Angry? Hatred and resentment?

What’s the use?

The other party is the Second Young Master of the Prince Kang Mansion, his father is a Prince, his elder brother is the Princely Heir!

What is he? He had only earned his grandfather’s favor through toilet cleaning.

But he knows all too well, his grandfather sees him as having potential for exploitation, and if he offends someone he can’t afford to, it might be his grandfather, Marquis Anning, who will abandon him first and might even kick him when he’s down.

So he had to swallow his pride.

Shang Jingwang stammered: ”Lord Imperial Envoy, the epidemic in Wangshan Town is urgent, you said you brought ten Imperial Physicians, may I ask where they are?”

Huangfu Jinxuan narrowed his eyes, warning: ”Shang Jingwang, don’t try to distract me, the group from the Imperial Hospital, those jellyfish, can’t even walk faster than a snail, of course they’re behind! They’ll arrive in three to five days, what are you fussing about?”

Three to five days isn’t an issue, thanks to Xia Wenjin and the Undying Poison Doctor already finding the cure for the epidemic.

Indeed, Shang Jingwang was only trying to change the topic, hoping Huangfu Jinxuan would brush aside the impersonation matter. Being scolded at this point, he was about to say something more when Huangfu Jingchen nudged him and said: ”Don’t worry, Lord Shang, I’ve met that Second Young Master once before, I’ll go see him!”

As he said this, he pulled out a white cloth from his sleeve and covered his face.

The moon-white long robe, white face-covering cloth, upright posture, dragon-like demeanor, and those eyes like obsidian; he glanced at Xia Wenjin, giving her a reassuring look.

Shang Jingwang opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

He originally wanted to remind Huangfu Jingchen that going to meet the Second Young Master with a masked face was a bit inappropriate, afraid the Second Young Master might feel offended and charge him further.

But knowing Huangfu Jingchen for so long, he felt that Huangfu Jingchen always acted with deep meaning, and there must be a purpose behind such actions.

Although he believed in the identity Huangfu Jingchen fabricated earlier and knew he was deceived, he did not bear resentment towards Huangfu Jingchen.

If it weren’t for Huangfu Jingchen, how could he have had the chance to receive the Holy Decree’s praise? The decree said that once the epidemic was resolved, he would go to the Capital City to be rewarded, meaning he had the opportunity to meet the emperor.

From any aspect, Huangfu Jingchen was his benefactor!

Since he was a benefactor, naturally, he did not wish for anything to happen to Huangfu Jingchen.

However, facing the imperial envoy, as a mere Fifth Rank Governor, he felt incredibly insignificant.

Instead, it was Huangfu Jingchen who glanced at him, a calming smile in his eyes. He stepped out of the quarantine zone, heading towards Huangfu Jinxuan.

Yu Shikui’s eyes gleamed, although he was twice scorned by Huangfu Jinxuan, he secretly resented everyone present, including Huangfu Jingchen, Shang Jingwang, and Wen Hao.

He shouted loudly, ”Second Young Master, be cautious, this person has been in the epidemic quarantine zone, he may be infected, do not let him approach!”

Huangfu Jinxuan squinted at Yu Shikui, then looked at Huangfu Jingchen striding over, the corner of his mouth lifted. He was not worried; firstly, the Imperial Physicians would arrive in three to five days, and secondly, he had two skilled guards by his side, preventing Huangfu Jingchen from getting close.

Most importantly, he found Huangfu Jingchen’s appearance vaguely familiar as he watched him approach.

Seeing the epidemic topic was not being picked up by this spoiled young master, Yu Shikui’s eyes turned, and he loudly reprimanded Huangfu Jingchen: ”How dare you, impersonating Lord Imperial Envoy, and now when questioned, you even cover your face, thinking that hiding your appearance makes you unrecognizable? We saw you clearly before!”

This was still an attempt to provoke Huangfu Jinxuan’s anger, hoping Huangfu Jingchen would punish him.

Sure enough, Huangfu Jinxuan frowned and displeasedly instructed the guard to his right: ”Is this guy a fly? Always buzzing. If he speaks again, go gag his mouth!”

The guard cupped his fists: ”Yes, sir!”

Yu Shikui: ”...”

He dared not speak anymore. If his mouth was truly gagged in front of everyone, his face would be entirely disgraced.

However, Huangfu Jinxuan seemed even more intrigued, shaking the folding fan in his hand. Despite having dismounted, he used a condescending gaze, full of interest saying: ”Hey, so you didn’t wear a mask earlier, why wear one when meeting this young master?”

This was indeed a curiosity shared by many present.

At this moment, Huangfu Jingchen was still some distance from Huangfu Jinxuan; upon hearing this, he paused and earnestly replied: ”I am too handsome, afraid you’ll lose composure when you see me!”

”Pfft...” Huangfu Jinxuan spat out a mouthful of water, laughing heartily: ”Interesting, truly interesting. No one has dared claim to be handsome in front of this young master before. Today, I really must take a good look, if you indeed are handsomer than this young master, I’ll let you go; if not, I’ll peel your entire face to see how thick-skinned you are!”

As he spoke, he laughed wildly, but the laughter did not reach his eyes; instead, a sharpness gleamed, clearly he’s not joking.

But he wasn’t exaggerating; indeed, Huangfu Jinxuan was fair-skinned and handsome, with a straight nose and square mouth, capable of captivating many if he restrained his arrogance.

It is said that despite his arrogant and rebellious nature, many young ladies see him as their dream man due to his good looks.

Yu Shikui sneered inwardly, this guy dared boast shamelessly of his attractiveness; doesn’t he know there’s a legend in the Capital City? Huangfu Jinxuan has three major taboos people dare not commit; third is wealth competition, second is calling him a libertine, and first is claiming to be handsomer than him.

All who dared these suffered miserably!

Huangfu Jingchen’s offense was the most taboo of all, oh, this was going to be a spectacle.
