Every Man Harbours Absurd Ideas

　　We kept our carriage's curtains up mainly due to it being stuffy inside. Opening the two small windows on the sides wasn't enough. It was enough and convenient for Emperor Yuansheng to communicate with us, having said that.

　　Miss Lyu's cheeks were coloured red the second she saw Emperor Yuansheng with his golden dragon knife.

　　Hang in there! I can't let you prost.i.t-, what am I saying?  I can't let you be a mistress when your father entrusted you to me!

　　I hate to admit it, but Li Clan was blessed with exceptional appearances. He was over forty for crying out loud, yet he had Lyu Yaoqin around his finger. Regardless, I scoffed and stood before Lu Yaoqin. I leaned forward a little, covering her from even the breeze. I ran my eyes up, down and side to side on Emperor Yuansheng.

　　"Young Ming, what are you doing? Step forward. Do you want to fight with me or something?"

　　Huh? This clown is using the framing strategy now. You can't deny it when you the thirty people around us are all your men!

　　Bai Laimu and the ten behind him didn't move, pretending they didn't hear Emperor Yuansheng, but they had their hands tightly around their weapons.

　　You lecherous old b.u.g.g.e.r, resorting to unscrupulous means for girls now. If Princess Hongzhuang found out, she'd turn you into a real abbot!

　　"Hmph, I do not like trouble. However, I cannot stand certain behaviours, so I have decided to intervene."

　　Emperor Yuansheng evidently switched to a high vigilance mode and asked Dugu and Tie Hanyi, "Has he found out?"

　　Dugu: "Possibly."

　　Tie Hanyi: "Not necessarily. He might have caught onto something, though."

　　Emperor Yuansheng turned back to me: "Did you find out?"

　　"Huh? About what?"

　　Emperor Yuansheng turned back to his two aides: "Does he know or not.

　　Dugu: "Possibly."

　　Tie Hanyi: "Not necessarily. He might have caught onto something, though."

　　Emperor Yuansheng mused over my response then grinned: "So, you don't know."

　　Oh, I get it now. You're worried I saw through your l.u.s.t for Miss Lyu? You must think I'm blind. You underestimated my s.h.i.+fu and me! He shared his wisdom daily. You think you can be more lecherous than my sh-, ahem. You think you can be more debauched than a deb-, ahem, you think you're a better player than my s.h.i.+fu?

　　"If I did not notice, I would have disappointed your expectations."
