"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 161

 Ru Ge looked at Yuchi Gong Ru with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, what play the other was putting on, how did he not know, catching a thief was a lie, wanting to take advantage and take the disguised Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen was real.

Even though his residence couldn't be said as completely fortified, but how could the guards not notice a little thief sneaking in?

Yuchi Gong Ru was such a clever person, why did he use such a rubbish excuse, he must be brooding over being made to streak last night?

Ru Ge smiled: "Oh? Someone is bold enough to sneak into this prince's residence? This must be investigated thoroughly, someone come..." Ru Ge's guards responded and stood in a row.

Ru Ge patted Yuchi Gong Ru's shoulder: "Imperial brother don't worry, why don't you tell this prince a bit what the thief looks like, this prince will look with you, half the work, twice the effect."

The more Ru Ge didn't want Yuchi Gong Ru to enter, the more certain Yuchi Gong Ru was that Xiao Yi Chen was still in his residence, daring to use poison to make him kneel and beg, in the end also forcing him to streak the streets, Xiao Yi Chen was the first person to do so, he couldn't just let this go.

Xiao Yi Chen, since you like to disguise as a guard and mingle by Yuchi Ru Ge's side, then don't blame this prince for being too ruthless and treat you like a spy.

Yuchi Gong Ru waved his hand saying: "It's dark and windy, thieves like to change their appearances, even if this prince describes his appearance, if he changed into someone else, we wouldn't be able to find him, it's fine imperial brother let's not waste time, someone come, search everywhere thoroughly for this prince!"

The guards behind Yuchi Gong Ru answered simultaneously, pushing aside Ru Ge's guards they barged into the residence and began to search, the residence was brightly lit instantly, if it wasn't the sound of a maid shrieking it was the sound of flower pots falling onto the ground.

Ru Ge shook his head, turning to look at Yuchi Gong Ru beside him who looked very happy, "Imperial brother, are you looking for a thief or deliberately destroying this prince's residence?"

Yuchi Gong Ru coughed hearing what was said, pointing at a guard who was searching the flower pots close by he said: "Be gentle, don't destroy imperial brother's things, you're here to catch a thief, not for you to destroy the place!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this subordinate knows his wrongdoings, please don't be angry second prince, the pots which were broken just now this subordinate will go buy the same ones to replace them tomorrow." The guard bowed in apology.

Ru Ge waved his hand, if he really made Yuchi Gong Ru's guard compensate him, Yuchi  Gong Ru would spread a rumour that he fussed over minor things without the demeanour of a prince.

Very soon Yuchi Gong Ru's guards returned to him shaking their heads, they didn't find anyone suspicious.

Yuchi Gong Ru turned to look at the two guards standing behind Ru Ge, he reached out to pat Ah Sang, yesterday on the streets, Ah Sang's structure was very slightly-built, it would be easy to find out if someone had been switched.

Ah Sang turned to avoid Yuchi Gong Ru's palm, "Has this subordinate insulted third prince." 

Ah Sang spoke with a steady tone.

Yuchi Gong Ru looked at Ah Sang in doubt, he frowned, they've switched back, where did Xiao Yi Chen go?

Ru Ge blocked Yuchi Gong Ru's continuous probing gaze: "Imperial brother, I don't know when this prince's man has offended you, to make you this angry, this prince has not disciplined him properly."

Yuchi Gong Ru smiled: "Imperial brother please forgive me, I only joked with Ah Sang just now, giving you a scare." As he spoke he waved his hand, turning he led his men away.

When Yuchi Gong Ru's figure disappeared into the dark, Ah Sang who was kneeling on the ground then actually said: "Thank you prince."

Ru Ge helped Ah Sang up: "It's nothing!"

Ah Sang shook his head, "Master, you were right, third prince really wasn't resigned and tried to catch us off guard, fortunately master was already prepared."

Ru Ge laughed, turning he entered the residence, the gates were slowly closed, blocking the wind and rain outside.

Ru Ge directly headed to the bath room, inside it there was a milky white pool, this was where he usually meditated, after sending everyone away, Ru Ge stood in front of the pool: "Come out, they've left."

With a splash, white water spun, Ji Ling Xue broke out of the water, like a mermaid she flung her head back splashing water, throwing her long black hair behind her, her long hair cut through the air in a graceful arc, several beads of water landed on Ru Ge's fingers, the tepid temperature moved from his finger to his heart.

Ru Ge was stunned by the image of the beauty coming out of the bath, his ears started heating up, when he had left, the one hiding in the water was Xiao Yi Chen, why did the person change so suddenly.

Ji Ling Xue was completely soaked through, in order to avoid the awkwardness, she remained half in the water looking at the embarassed Ru Ge, smiling, "Yuchi Gong Ru left unwillingly, did he say anything?"

Ru Ge looked all around, replying: "He wasn't too disappointed, I guess he'll search the entire city for you."

Ji Ling Xue chuckled, cat catching a mouse, this was an interesting game, this was a lot more interesting than fighting for affection with those two imperial concubines at prince Chen's residence.

Ru Ge asked: "Where's the prince, why are you the only one here?"

Ji Ling Xue wiped the water from her face, swimming towards Ru Ge, "He said he needed to teach that perverted prince a lesson, I don't know martial arts, so I didn't go to drag him down."

Ru Ge picked up a towel and placed it by the pool side, "I'll get two maids to come." He turned and walked outside, his steps hurried, like he was fleeing.

Ji Ling Xue laughed, she didn't think Ru Ge could be so pure and cute, if she comes across a good woman in the future she'll be his matchmaker.

Xiao Yi Chen sat on a roof dressed in black, coldly looking at Yuchi Gong Ru who returned to his own residence with his tail between his legs.

Yuchi Gong Ru's fists were thrown out at a tree not far from him as he cursed: "Xiao Yi Chen, this prince underestimated you, I didn't think you would run quicker than a mouse!"

Not being able to catch Xiao Yi Chen this time made him very irritated.

The guards behind him didn't dare to leave, forcing to reduce their existence.

The fist made impact, the tree swayed, leaves fell with a rustle.

Yuchi Gong Ru retracted his hand, his knuckles were red with wood shavings stuck, the old tree was dented, the originally perfectly straight tree gradually bent over.

Yuchi Gong Ru turned to say to the guards behind him: "Bring two women over."

His poison had still not been treated, he could only rely on drinking virgin maiden's blood to control it, now that he had returned to Dayan, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious and let the old emperor find out about this habit, he wouldn't be considered for the seat for emepror.

The maids in the residence became less and less each day so he got the housekeeper to find more, these cheap slaves lives, no one really cared for them.

Xiao Yi Chen watched the horrible scene of blood drinking in the house with cold eyes from the roof, Yuchi Gong Ru seemed like a leech!

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, taking out a paper and brush from his chest, under the bright moonlight above his head, he began to draw in high spirits.

The miserable cries of the women inside the room gradually became husky, gradually fading, 

Yuchi Gong Ru stood up licking the blood from the corner of his lips in satisfaction, feeling his entire body was energised.

A sound came from the roof, Yuchi Gong Ru narrowed his eyes and looked up, from a removed tile he saw a hand holding a brush and paper.

Yuchi Gong Ru jumped up smashing through the tiles onto the roof, Xiao Yi Chen had already put the paper away, turning the brush in his hand he smiled: "Third prince, you're interests are very peculiar, this prince experienced first hand."

"Xiao...Yi Chen!" Yuchi Gong Ru gnashed his teeth spitting out the three words, his darkest secret had been discovered by his arch-enemy, anyone would be so angry to spit out blood, like a cat who had stood on its own tail, whoever was irritated was also worried.

Xiao Yi Chen put a hand on his hip, another hand twirling the brush as he nodded his head: "En, it's been a very, very long time since someone called this prince by his full name...this prince almost forgot his own name, many thanks for reminding me."

Yuchi Gong Ru made a fist, his joints cracked, "I searched high and low yet found nothing, it turns out prince was being a thief in this prince's residence, was this play fun to watch?"

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, "Very good, third prince, is human blood tasty?"

Yuchi Gong Ru fingers became claws, he went for Xiao Yi Chen's neck, Xiao Yi Chen's eyes narrowed, the brush in his hand was like a short knife sweeping over the back of Yuchi Gong Ru's hand.

Yuchi Gong Ru lowered his head, only seeing a black line appear on his hand, it didn't look like it was poisoned.

His sleeves fell down, a curved blade in his hand, Yuchi Gong Ru once again attacked Xiao Yi Chen, with three swishes, the brush in Xiao Yi Chen's hand had turned into a number of pieces, black ink filling the sky, several drops fell on his clothes, a few drops fell on Yuchi Gong Ru's face.

Yuchi Gong Ru's gaze was very ruthless, he once again charged at Xiao Yi Chen, if he wants to mock him then he should be prepared to shed blood.

Xiao Yi Chen chuckled, with the tips of his toes, swish, a roof tile was lifted and flew towards Yuchi Gong Ru.

Yuchi Gong Ru waved the curved knife in his hand, the tile split into two, two into four, falling from the roof onto the ground in pieces.

When he looked towards Xiao Yi Chen after the tile had fallen, his figure had already disappeared.

The signs of fighting very quickly attracted the guards in the residence, Xiao Yi Chen wasn't stupid, quit while one is ahead.

"Someone come, give chase for this prince!" Yuchi Gong Ru eyes were red with anxiety, pointing in a direction, giving chase with his subordinates.

Under the moon, the city was in chaos...

Under the moon, Xiao Yi Chen was leaping over roofs as lithe as a swallow, from time to time he would turn back to look at the flustered Yuchi Gong Ru giving chase, his lips raised into a sneer, he continued to fly forwards.

Yuchi Gong Ru chased him to the entrance of an alleyway, but he couldn't see a trace of Xiao Yi Chen, ahead was the gates to the palace, such a heavily-guarded place, a person sneaking in would be easily caught, it was so calm, Yuchi Gong Ru was uneasy.

The next day, Dayan's palace, the old emperor slowly opened his eyes under the acupuncture of Bai Mo, right now the first rays of the early morning sun was shining through the window onto his couch, he slowly sat up, the old emperor smiled at the young yet called a miracle doctor by others, Bai Mo.

The old emperor smiled: "Miracle doctor is indeed brilliant, in only three days, our body already feels a lot more relaxed, no longer feeling tired."

Bai Mo cupped his hands and smiled, "This is emperor's great fortune."

The old emperor laughed loudly waving his hand: "You'll be rewarded, what does the miracle doctor want, if we have it, we can give it to you?"

Bai Mo smiled shaking his head, "Saving someone is the duty of a doctor, I didn't save you because you are the emperor of Dayan, if emperor really wants to grant Bai Mo a favour, Bai Mo wishes for Dongqi and Dayan to be on good terms."

The old emperor's eyes flashed, his eyes were filled with meaning as he considered Bai Mo who stood straight as a rod in front of him.
