"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 159

 Yuchi Gong Ru stood at a nearby corner following the back of Ji Ling Xue with his eyes as the group left, he narrowed his eyes at Ji Ling Xue's back, a hint of familiarity rising in his mind.

Yuchi Gong Ru mumbled to himself: "He seems familiar, but this prince is certain he isn't Ah Sang, his frame is small like a woman..." As he spoke he shrugged, scratching the back of his hand, from a moment ago his hand had unusually felt itchy, he could bear it before, but now he couldn't help itch at it.

Yuchi Gong Ru frowned looking at the back of his hand, muttering he turned and left.

Ji Ling Xue stood in front of a blade stall, picking up a red gem inlayed small curved knife she turned to Xiao Yi Chen: "Isn't this pretty?"

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, he was about to say something, but saw Ru Ge had already handed silver over for Ji Ling Xue, "If you like it buy it."

Being out and about, it wasn't good to continuously call Ji Ling Xue "princess" or her name, he could only use "you" to address her.

Ji Ling Xue smiled, she took the knife out to look at then put it back in the scabbard, "Thanks."

Ru Ge smiled shaking his head: "You've also given me presents, just take this as a return gift."

Xiao Yi Chen scrunched up his good-looking eyebrows, looking at Ji Ling Xue with misgivings, she actually gave gifts to other men behind his back?!

Ji Ling Xue didn't pay attention to Xiao Yi Chen, saying to Ru Ge: "That...it can't be considered a gift..." It was just a bottle of poison to protect himself, no matter what it wasn't as valuable as this gem inlayed knife.

Ru Ge understood Ji Ling Xue's meaning instantly, smiling: "It doesn't matter how much a gift is worth." He had accepted her good intentions.

Xiao Yi Chen coughed twice, expressing he existed.

Xiao Yi Chen: Ji Ling Xue, you secretly gave and received presents from another man behind this prince's back, this prince will deal with you properly when we return, shake up the concept the wife is the centre of the family.

Ji Ling Xue winked at Xiao Yi Chen, pulling Xiao Yi Chen forward by the arm.

Ru Ge shook his head and smiled, both hands behind his back he followed after them.

Nightfall, Xiao Yi Chen sat upright and still on the side of the bed waiting for Ji Ling Xue to confess to him after bathing.

Ji Ling Xue walked to Xiao Yi Chen with damp hair in a loose nightgown, rubbing her hair she said: "Prince, tell me, my hair is still so damp after rubbing it for so long, when do you think I can sleep."

Xiao Yi Chen took the towel from Ji Ling Xue's hands, patting his own legs, indicating Ji Ling Xue to sit on his thighs, Ji Ling Xue held Xiao Yi Chen's neck, sitting her bottom onto his thighs, smiling she looked at him face to face.

Not waiting for Xiao Yi Chen to open his mouth, Ji Ling Xue said: "I know what you want to ask me, I didn't give Ru Ge anything, just a bottle of poison for his own protection, you've seen it before."

Xiao Yi Chen's five fingers struck into Ji Ling Xue's long black hair, using inner strength he dried Ji Ling Xue's hair, not forgetting to say to Ji Ling Xue, "Ru Ge is so considerate, let this prince see the curved knife."

Ji Ling Xue shrunk her neck down, "Prince isn't thinking of crushing it to dust right?" Was there a need to be so childish, wasn't it very normal for friends to give each other gifts. He was too restrictive.

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, rapping a finger against Ji Ling Xue's forehead, "What are you saying, this prince just wants to see it."

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her forehead for a while, then passed the curved knife over to Xiao Yi Chen, precaution filled her eyes.

Xiao Yi Chen took back his hand seeing Ji Ling Xue's hair was already dried, scattered behind her head.

Xiao Yi Chen turned the curved knife in his hand, Ji Ling Xue stared at his hand, afraid Xiao Yi Chen would do something to it.

"Ka bang..." A clear and loud sound, Ji Ling Xue's eyelids palpitated, she saw the brightest red gem on the scabbard suddenly disintegrate into dust, fluttering to the ground.

Ji Ling Xue bitterly looked at Xiao Yi Chen, sadness in her eyes.

In the next moment, from his chest he took out a night pearl, it was surprisingly around the same size as the ruby which had just disintegrated, only his fingers could be seen moving, fastening the night pearl to where the ruby had been, it was a perfect fit.

Xiao Yi Chen unhurriedly said: "This prince feels the ruby is too tacky, night pearl is better, now if in the dark, princess can use it as a light?"

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, a curved knife could be inlayed with a priceless night pearl, prince you're so cool!

Xiao Yi Chen's large hand pushed on the night pearl, only after making sure it wouldn't fall off did he pass it to Ji Ling Xue.

Ji Ling Xue ended up looking at it closely, raising her head she looked at Xiao Yi Chen, "Prince, this technique of yours, I'm wondering if you worked as a gem setter before?" This technique was incomparable.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled, taking off his boots he said: "Sleep."

Ji Ling Xue: "That pervert Yuchi Gong Ru might come tonight to look for an antidote, prince don't you want to exchange blows with him?"

Xiao Yi Chen pointed outside, "Ru Ge already set out traps, this prince is a guest, I can't be bothered with such a matter." As he spoke he pulled Ji Ling Xue onto the bed.

Ji Ling Xue face turned red, Xiao Yi Chen lowered his head to kiss Ji Ling Xue's red lips.

The curtains fell slowly, the beginning of spring was thick inside the bed, cold wind blew outside the room door, a flash of a sword...

Yuchi Gong Ru didn't expect a little itch on his hand would turn into his hand gradually swelling and turning red in two hours, at night his hand even lacked the strength to hold chopsticks, whatever he ate he threw up, he had invited tens of imperial doctors to examine him, none could tell him the reason, he was so angry he almost picked up a sword and chopped off those doctors' heads.

Turning over in his mind, he finally recalled something, he had touched that fake Ah Sang's shoulder, he didn't expect that guy to hold such a grudge to poison him.

A ball of hot rage filled his heart, Yuchi Gong Ru gritted his teeth and waited for nightfall, alone he snuck into Ru Ge's residence in the night, he knew this was the tiger's cave, but he couldn't not come.

Yuchi Gong Ru believed his martial arts was first or second best in Dayan, no matter how amazing Ru Ge's traps were, destroying them with tremendous strength he broke through the trap, subsequently he came across a group of patrolling guards.

After killing the guards who blocked his way, Yuchi Gong Ru stood in the courtyard yelling: "Yuchi Ru Ge, come out!"

Whoosh, whoosh, that was the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, Yuchi Gong Ru brandished the long sword in his hand, striking the feathers away from his body.

The rain of arrows followed each other, ten waves had already passed, no matter how impress Yuchi Gong Ru was, he can still get tired, just as Yuchi Gong Ru was about to fall on the ground to rest with red eyes, the rain of arrows finally stopped.

Yuchi Gong Ru bore his teeth saying: "Yuchi Ru Ge, I know you won't allow this prince to stay in your residence."

"Imperial brother? Why is it you, I thought it was some careless thief breaking into my residence at night!" Arriving in a leisurely manner Ru Ge stood over five meters away, he was completely surrounded by sword wielding guards, his voice really sounded like he had just woken up from bed.

Yuchi Gong Ru could see through this, he sneered, "Imperial brother, give me the antidote, otherwise I will stay in your residence tonight, let's see how you'll explain this to emperor father tomorrow."

Ru Ge shook his head, looking regretful: "I don't have an antidote."

Yuchi Gong Ru suddenly jumped up, pointing his swollen like a pig's trotter hand to point at Ru Ge's nose, if he wasn't thinking about the antidote in Ru Ge's hands, Yuchi Gong Ru really wanted to brandish the sword in his hand to cut off Ru Ge's head.

Yuchi Gong Ru: "No antidote? Ah...you dare to say such words, you want me to complain about you to emperor father tomorrow? Isn't Ah Sang your man, you want to take on the criminal charges of injuring your brother, lower emperor father's good opinion of you?"

Ru Ge sneered, "I should be asking you this, how did you treat me half a year ago, do you need me to go through everything one by one, comparing sneaky tactics, I'm not even a third as good as imperial brother."

Yuchi Gong Ru was left speechless by the criticism, he looked away, lowering his attitude he said: "What do you want for the antidote, just tell me."

Ru Ge turned his head to look behind him, Xiao Yi Chen dressed as a guard had a cold expression, a good thing being spoiled, anyone would be unhappy.

Yuchi Gong Ru narrowed his eyes looking Xiao Yi Chen up and down, bluntly asking: "Where's the antidote?"

Xiao Yi Chen's lips curled: "Third prince we meet again." Having spoken, he suddenly smiled, his smile didn't reach his eyes however.

Yuchi Gong Ru smiled, from the voice he could tell who he was, no wonder he felt something was wrong on the streets today, so there was a guest from afar.

Then who was that Ah Sang during the day? It can't be that woman right...

Yuchi Gong Ru patted the dust from his body, rubbing his head he laughed: "So it's Dongqi's prince Chen, why are you a little guard in my imperial brother's residence, anyone who comes is a guest, imperial brother, you've slighted prince Chen."

Ru Ge laughed, "This is prince Chen's idea, I am good friends with prince Chen, there are no misunderstandings."

Yuchi Gong Ru cupped his hands towards Xiao Yi Chen saying: "This prince has previously offended prince Chen please can a great man as prince Chen stoop to pettiness, this prince will once again compensate prince."

Xiao Yi Chen smiled: "This prince usually holds a grudge, I don't like to be the bigger person, you acted against this prince's princess twice, if this prince does nothing I'm simply not a husband."

Yuchi Gong Ru's forehead was full of black lines, lowering his head he looked at his red and swollen right hand, pursing his lips he knelt in Xiao Yi Chen's direction.

Yuchi Gong Ru: "I wonder what the prince wants to forgive this prince?" If he didn't forgive him there would be no antidote, his hand would soon become a pig trotter.

Xiao Yi Chen nodded in satisfaction, such an arrogant person as Yuchi Gong Ru kneeling and apologising to him, that was absolutely like a bride's first step into her bridal sedan chair, Xiao Yi Chen said: "Prince get up, this prince definitely has no intentions to make things difficult for you, this poison wasn't placed by me, this prince's princess said, if you want to gain her forgiveness, please can prince strip naked and streak around the city once, she will then give the antidote."

Streak!! 

Yuchi Gong Ru's eyes almost popped out, grinding his teeth he stood up, that woman dare to ask this! He was the great third prince of Dayan, if he really streaked inside the city, the impeachments against him would fill the desk in the imperial study at tomorrow's morning court.

Seeing Yuchi Gong Ru hesitate, Xiao Yi Chen smiled, "Third prince isn't willing? Then this prince can't do anything, princess won't forgive you, there's no way to cure your poison." Shrugging his shoulders, he looked helpless.

Yuchi Gong Ru made a fist, then again. Damn it, Xiao Yi Chen had a smile on his lips watching his reluctance, he really want to punch him.

However, the current situation didn't allow him to do so, taking in a deep breath, he gritted his teeth, spitting out word by word, "Is there another choice?"
