Feng Yu Jiu Tian Vol 19 Chapter 2

Note: In the previous chapter I have written King Ming which will now be Duke Ming. In chinese both of their title is Wang. It didn't feel right for both of them to have the same title since their power dynamic does not support it. Both Rong Tian and Ruo Yan have a higher status than Feng Ming.

---

  Shi Min was very grateful to He Di for agreeing to see the Princess at night, and led He Di hurriedly back to the small courtyard. When he reached the curtain, she whispered, "Princess, Prince He Di is here."

    Obviously, the princess was waiting anxiously inside. "Come in, we have important matters to discuss, you don't have to care about the formality." 

 "Yes, the prince, please." Princess Chang Liu doesn't care anymore, not to mention He Di, he has always been the most unruly.Following the model of Shi Min, he entered the forbidden room of the same king and concubine. As soon as he entered the curtain, he saw Princess Chang Liu sitting up hard from the half crooked collapse, making a weak gesture, and whispering, "His Royal Highness you came! , I took the courage to invite you so late at night, the matter at hand was really compelling." The prince saw the tear stains on her face and noticed how her face has become haggard.

    Looking at such a lonely and helpless appearance, the one would see that nine out of ten men would be unable to help but feel sorry for Chang Liu. It's a pity that He Di since birth didn't know how to write the words lián xiāng xī yù. Even if he had a little bit of such instinct, I am afraid he would not waste it on Chang Liu.  

                     (t/n: lián xiāng xī yù  (idiom): to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex (idiom))

    He Di generously chose a comfortable place to sit down and said, "Very well, we all know that it is late at night. Don't waste time talking about it. Let's talk about the business first."

    He was so rude. Presumptuous,after listening to the troubles of the sad maiden, instead of comforting with heartfelt lies went straight to business at hand. Inside her heart the Princess thought that this Prince He Di is really different from Qing Li. It seems I have chosen  the right person to get help in this matter.

    She gestured to her maid, and Shi Min shrewdly handed the secret letter to He Di.

    He Di, without a second thought, took the secret letter and looked at it hastily. He already understood what had happened. After reading it, he didn’t have the interest to express his sympathy with shock and sorrow. He said casually, "With this secret letter, you can say it is certain that half of the poison in Duke Ming is not poisonous. Is the princess planning to reply to the letter?"

    Chang Liu heart was already crushed with grief, so she invited He Di, she pondered for a while, and tentatively said, "It’s so far away from my country and Tong Kingdom, and  news is difficult to get. Look at the meaning of this letter, as long as I follow Li Wang’s instructions and conceal Wen Lan’s affairs from Duke Ming it could save my father’s life. It can be seen that Li King didn’t know that Wen Lan’s trap had been uncovered by Duke Ming. If Duke Ming is willing to do so. I can keep the secret and pretend I don’t know, then I can reply and promise to  Li King postpone for now..."

    He Di sneered, "The princess thought so simply, is Li King so easy to deceive? Not to mention Wen Lan. In addition to Duke Ming and us, the insiders involved have a lot of guards and attendants around. Can you guarantee that they will not leak anything? Without taking that in account, even if Duke Ming  is willing to help you, the origin of fake Du Feng, Xi King Lei will definitely investigate thoroughly. He will go round checking it and make it clear that he had seen through the plan,who will be able to hide it? This news will be known to Li King sooner or later. Even if you lie, it will not be delayed for more than a few days, but once Li King discovers that you were playing tricks, he will definitely kill your father and vent his anger on you."

    Chang Liu finally came up with a caching strategy, and it was swept away by He Di with a few words, and said in a panic, "What the prince said is... But... ...But now I only have this bargaining chip to deal with the king, otherwise...my father ..."

    Shi Min said from the side, "We women are not sufficiently knowledgeable after all, I only hope for the prince's guidance. May Your Majesty point out a way or two."

    He Di smiled, "What's so difficult about this kind of thing? There are only two paths in total."

    Chang Liu said anxiously, "Prince please tell me ."

 "The first way, if you have the ability , Immediately go back to Zhao Bei, rescue your father, and kill Fan Jia people along the way to cause chaos in the country. We men do things the hard way, and whoever has a hard fist is the boss. "

    Chang Liu and Shi Min are in misery and helplessness, where will they get the patience to deal with He Di? When they heard the ridicule coming from He Di in his leisurely tone they almost fainted on the spot, but now among the three, Di He does have the most experience in foreign operations, Chang Liu can only continue to endure and ask for advice, "What's the second way?"

    "That is ..... ."

    "Prince! Where is the prince?"

    He Di just said a few words and was suddenly interrupted. Hearing the shout, He Di jumped up like a leopard, lifted the curtain, and said, "Kong Liu, is there any enemy?"

    He was used to the pirate's life of killing at any time, and he was accustomed to the sudden report of Kong Liu. He asked about the enemy reflexively, but he was very calm.

    Kong Liu had rushed in like a violent wind, he panted before standing still and reported, "It's not good, the man has an accident! This subordinate have ordered someone..."

    He Di was standing calmly but once he started to hear even before the subordinate had finished his words He Di's face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed down the steps, leaving everyone behind, and rushing toward the small courtyard where Zi Yan was.

    He Di acted astonishingly. He rushed back to the courtyard in one breath. He stretched out his legs and kicked the door open, and shouted, "Zi Yan!"

    Before he left, there was only Zi Yan in the room as he was not allowed to go anywhere, but now there were a few more people at this moment. The various confidant guards were present, everyone was sweating profusely, some were anxiously trying to hold down Zi Yan who was rolling in the middle of the carpet.

    "Prince!"

    Hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, everyone looked up in panic. They were relieved when they saw He Di, and quickly said, "After the prince left, the man suddenly moved..."

   " Subordinates doesn't know what’s going on."

    "Kong Liu rushed to inform the prince..."

    "He was struggling so badly, and none of us could hold him down!" At

   At this moment, Zi Yan suddenly felt a sudden change. Struggling, he almost broke free, and everyone was so panicked that they increased their strength and held on again.

    He Di breathed a sigh of relief and coldly snorted, "You wanted to escape by pretending that the poison had acted up?" He walked quickly to the bed and planned to teach the man a lesson. After seeing Zi Yan's face clearly, he was shocked and he screamed "Damn! How did this happen?"

    Even a blind man could see that the man was in extreme pain, and every muscle of his straight face was twisting and twitching. He struggled hard, almost overturning a few strong hold on his body. Obviously, under severe pain, his strength was different from ordinary people. Without the help of everyone, even He Di couldn't help him. In the blink of an eye Zi Yan bent out of his arms and his forehead was about to hit the wall straight.

    "Zi Yan!" He Di was very frightened.

    An attendant desperately grabbed him and stood in front of the wall between Zi Yan and his apparent death. He was hit with a scream and collapsed like dried shrimps. (t/n: This sounds kinda weird. Not sure if the translation is accurate but should be close enough.)
    He Di did not hesitate to tightly hold him in his warms, looked up, his eyes were like a wounded beast, very ferocious, and shouted, "Come hold him down!"

    The crowd rushed like a herd, once again busy trying to suppress Zi Yan, He Di had the time to get his hands free, and hurriedly touched Zi Yan's forehead. It was soaking cold and there was no temperature at all, making He Di  feel like he fell into an ice cave.

    He Di had seen plenty of death in his life as a pirate, and the thrill of killing has always been just a stimulating spice in his life. He never knew that such a thrill could turn into such fear in the world.

    Zi Yan was pressed down by the crowd. Although he could not break free, he was still twisting and shaking his head desperately. His back neck muscles became tight, as if he was about to break at any time.

    His eyes were wide open, even though he seemed to be looking at He Di, he actually lost focus. "Zi Yan, Zi Yan, hello, can you hear me? Say something, hurry up." He Di called in a deep voice, not knowing what to do for a while, he used palm of his hand to wipe the cold sweat on Zi Yan's forehead. The more he wiped it, the more his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and gradually his hands  started to tremble.

    There was never the words fear and distress in his dictionary. At this moment, he didn't know that he was scared and had a heartache. He found that his hands were trembling slightly, and he only felt that it was a murderous spirit that was difficult to suppress under his anger.

    If he found out who did it, he would make sure that the person died suffering torture! That bastard together with his family and friends, one by one hacked to pieces, then thrown into the sea!

    Who!

    Bastard!

    Dare  To  Touch his Zi Yan?

    Looking for death! And looking for the most terrible way to die in the world!

    At this moment, Kong Liu, who had been left by He Di, also entered the door panting. When he came in, everyone was still suppressing Zi Yan. He Di chaotically wiped his sweat for Zi Yan. He looked terrified and could not help but rush. "It seems that the poison that Lady Yao Ye taked about has acted up."

    "Where is the antidote this Prince brought?" He said this like a thunder, and He Di suddenly realized that his brain has finally started to work again instead of being a paste.(t/n: Being useless)
    That's it!

    "The antidote!" He Di roared wildly, jumped up and pulled out the glove box next to him. He went through the drawer like a storm overturning everything in chaos and in a moment he found the vial given by Lady Yao Ye, and pulled the lid down. A small black pill appeared in the palm of his palm, dark and shiny, and it looked unusual.

    In fact, in addition to the magic incense and poison from the plant fields, Zi Yan also has another kind of poison that Lady Yao Ye had given him intentionally, and specially gave He Di a year of antidote.

    But after He Di got Zi Yan back, he thought that since it was a one-year antidote, the attack should be at least three months or a half year later, and it should not be too late to give him the antidote a few days later.  How did he take advantage of these few days to bully Zi Yan.

    If you say that Zi Yan is the victim, it is really the lustful Prince He Di who is the culprit.

    But who is He Di? Introspection has never belonged to his style of doing things. While assigning the guards to rush over to fetch water, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "I say that the dead woman did a good thing! If something happens to my people, it will end in fire. I will crash through her rotten valley and catch her, let all the brothers rape her, each person ten times and sell her to a brothel to suffer! Not only her, I will castrate her bastard son with a knife with my own hands! " 

(t/n: Hmmm He Di giving real Game of Thrones vibe here. Don't you touch my baby and his mother)

    Scolded severely, the guards hurried and brought water to He Di who grabbed it and thought for a while. He felt that there was only one pill and Zi Yan was confused. If he accidentally lost it while feeding it, it would be very bad.

    Immediately he turned to Zi Yan, signaled everyone to press harder, "Don't let him break free. " Ignoring whether the so-called antidote from Lady Yao Ye is another poison or not, he raised his head and put the pill into his mouth to chew it, and found that there was a little water in it. I guess it would be better to chew it up first, then he lowered his head and put it on Zi Yan's lips and pried open his(ZiYan's) teeth to pass the antidote. Once it was done he stopped breathing, nervously observing Zi Yan's next situation eagerly.

    The antidote is surprisingly good.

    LadyYao really deserves to be a famous socialite, the antidote worked in a moment. Zi Yan was frantically struggling and wrestling, and instantly loosened, as if all his strength had been taken away, and there was no more threat.

    The guards suppressed him for a long time, and now they are completely relieved, all with sweaty clothes on their backs. So they all let go, and withdrew one by one, letting the prince who had been out of order handle it alone.

    "Zi Yan?"Baby?" He Di hugged Ziyan in a low voice, calling out, "Awake?" Touching his forehead, it was still cold, and breathing was uneven, and his chest was moving up and down rapidly, with an indescribable weakness.

    Under He Di's hug, the rare heart was softened, and he felt terribly pitiful, cursing and swaying the vicious woman Lady Yao Ye, it was not a good thing to follow the Young Lord of Xiao family and  Xi Lei King. In contrast, it is a great blessing that Zi Yan can fall into his own hands instead of those people who are not as good in taking care of him.

    At least He Di will not poison him (at most, a love potion), and can give him(Zi Yan) joy and love every night.

    He immediately swore to the Sea God secretly that if anyone dared to make his man suffer in the future, he would have to tear that guy to pieces! The limbs would be broken first, and then they would be torn into pieces of meat and hang on the mast!

    Kong Liu had already left the door, just right outside he ran into Shi Min who hurriedly followed to inquire about the news. The poor princess had sent her to follow after He Di as she intends to ask the so-called second wa., unfortunately there was an unexpected turn of events and she had to wait outside for news from He Di.

    Shi Min sent condolences to Zi Yan for his "illness" and asked, "Do you know if the envoy's body is better?"
 

 Kong Liu knew the prince's dedication to that man. But if it weren't for today's incident, Kong Liu really didn't know it would be so serious.

    Facing Ziyan's tragic situation, His Royal Highness, who has always dealt with thousands of lives calmly and can be a careless prince, has completely lost his mind like a blind fly.

    Truely!

    On any other day, even if the prince only thinks with his toes, he can think within a second that it is the poison attack that Lady Yao Ye once warned about. But who would have thought that the brave prince who could still smile with a few bloody holes in his body would be so dumbfounded when he saw the man rolling in pain?

    My God! If this  happens during the fierce bloody battle of pirates. . . . . .

    Kong Liu didn't dare to think about it anymore.

    After being asked repeatedly by Shi Min, Kong Liu had to reluctantly report to the prince that Princess Chang Liu was still waiting, and said across the door, "Prince, Princess Chang Liu..."

    Without finishing a sentence, there was a shout from inside. The roar smashed Kong Liu and Shi Min to the point of being frightened, "Tell her to get out! The King of Zhao Bei is not my dad, whether he id dead or alive what does it have to do with this Prince? This Prince hasn't settled accounts with her yet! If it weren't for her to call this Prince away in the middle of the night away from Zi Yan, why would Zi Yan be like this? Tell the woman to wait and see!"

    He Di roared, not only scared away the miscellaneous people, but also alarmed Zi Yan in his arms.

    Aware of the slight movement of the person in his arms, He Di's nerves were suddenly tightened, and he looked down, "Hey, are you awake?" He put his eyes on Zi Yan's thin face and probed. He Di tighten his arms and observed the movement of Zi Yan.

    This person was born into a royal family, which is really a waste of resources. He is simply a natural pirate material, and he is not the same person when he turns his face.

    Obviously he was still feeling soft and pitying the man in his arms just a second before but now he found that Zi Yan could move, and probably the magical incense and poison on his body disappeared. He Di's first reaction was to use his arms to tighten his grip so that the prey would not be able to resist.

    Lady Yao Ye's poison is famous all over the world, is the toxicity a joke?

    Ziyan has been played with by He Di recently and has just walked through purgatory. Although the poison has been resolved, he is already weak.

    "Ahh..." Zi Yan was squeezed in his arms, making him groan vaguely in pain.

    This moan is different from day to day, it is full of fragility, and it is extremely pitiful, like a chaste virgin stripped naked, shivering in front of a pervert, as if tempting to commit a crime.

    He Di was taken aback, his heart beating wildly.

    He was so bad in nature, he deliberately tightened his arms in order to hear the groaning like music again. Zi Yan was groaning, feeling as uncomfortable as if he was about to be crushed, and couldn't help but groan in pain, "Ah..." The proud sword like eyebrows slightly narrowed inward, as if trapped in a nightmare. As if in the dream, he closed his eyes and swayed his neck to struggle against He Di's chest.

    With this frowning expression and slight movement, in the eyes of any normal person, you will definitely understand that Zi Yan's body is weak and uncomfortable, so feel pity and be gentle.

    But He Di is definitely not a normal person. On the contrary, he is a pirate leader who holds the title of prince, who is actually all evil, despicable, self-respecting, and takes his own satisfaction as the world's first priority.

    Therefore, Zi Yan's every move at this moment, including alluring moans, alluring frowns, and alluring writhing, only means the same to He Di: seduction!

    Of course, His Royal Highness became the best beloved. The crocodile took the initiative to fish as soon as it was hooked. Without a word, he lowered his head and kissed his pale and sexy thin lips, prying open his teeth all the way, rushing straight into it, sweeping halfway like licking his own possessions. The gums, cloves, and tongue of the envoy . . . . . . 

                                    (t/n:The crocodile took the initiative to fish as soon as it was hooked. :To take advantage of a situation as soon as the opportunity arrives)

    Enjoying it above, and not idle below, sandwiching Zi Yan between his chest and arms, freeing his five fingers, digging into his(Zi Yan) pants, grabbing the sleeping organs that is familiar to him, rubbing and playing with great intensity.

    With such action, even the dead will be awakened.

    Zi Yan was exhausted, physically exhausted, and slightly out of his mind. His little brother was also abruptly made to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes, suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You, you go away!" He Di saw him. His voice was hoarse and weak to even to say a few words, but the black pupils were still fierce and proud. The evil intentions flashed through his mind, and he smiled proudly, "Oh, if This Prince gets out of the way, how can I make your little brother happy? Look, isn't he happy enough to wake up?" As he said, he moved his five fingers more frequently, caressing and rubbing the tender stem that can make Zi Yan collapse. Hoping to watch Zi Yan relieve himself  in the palm of his hand, He Di showed an ecstatic expression.

    But this was just He Di's wishful thinking.

    He didn't think that Zi Yan's physical strength was already exhausted, how could he be aroused like usual at this time, no matter how high his skill is, it is no use.

    He Di shackled the struggling Zi Yan like an eagle tackling a chick, and played with it for a while. The soft organs remained unchanged. He Di, who had always been arrogant, was irritated, and sneered, "Heh The prince is right, you are asking for hardship ." He Di raised his voice and called Kong Liu in, and ordered him to go and pick the other bottle of medicine given by the Lady in the box.

    Kong Liu found it in two or three minutes. He took the medicine bottle and let He Di look over it. "Prince, is this this?"

    "Yes, that's it." He Di nodded, twisting Ziyan's chin up, forcing him to look at himself(He Di), he asked with a wicked smile, "When Lady Yao Ye gave this to me, the special envoy was also there. This is because the people on your side sold you, but it is not the prince’s fault. The special envoy cried out to this prince. Don't blame the wrong person when you  realize your mistake."

    Zi Yan looked at the bottle and scolded both Lady Yao Ye and He Di to the eighteenth generation of their ancestors. He knew that He Di was cruel and he could do it, and that Lady Yao Ye's medicine would definitely make people toss and turn to death.

    He had only just tasted the pain, thinking of the terrible pain, the feeling of not being able to survive and die, his heart tightened. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and threw his face to one side.

    He Di looked at him, knowing that this stubborn man was already afraid. He turned down his temper and refused take further action. There was a complicated feeling in his heart, as if something was rolling in his heart.

    He Di has always been the number one leader in killing and decisiveness without hesitation.

    Very contradictory!

So that was a long chapter. What do you think about the relationship between Zi Yan and He Di ? How do you think their relationship compares to Feng Ming and Rong Tian's? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below :)

Also I feel really bad for Princess Chang Liu. Away from her home with a cheating husband that she must endure and now her family is in danger but no one seems to care. I think this situation resonates to some degree to the lives of many women even today...

Thank you for reading.
