Asking About Love Songs

Chapter 28

Snowflakes fluttered in the air, each one landing on the path, revealing a complex interplay of strength and resistance.

Before long, as soon as the other person's lips parted slightly, Su Shaochu immediately tried to turn his head away, but was instantly pulled back and kissed again, and sucked even more forcefully!

"stop……"

Finally, Su Shaochu, who had been silently enduring, began to struggle, but was repeatedly and intensely sucked, his lips and tongues intertwined tightly and inseparable!

"Is your lack of resistance today because you've given up, or because you're injured?"

Finally releasing the lips that had been sucked red, Zhu Yuning still held the face tightly in her palm. She stared at the pair of sharp-browed eyes that looked back at her, gently biting her lower lip that was trying to stubbornly purse, and rubbed it all the way down to the upper lip that was panting, and then to the bridge of the nose.

"Please consider this as a matter of prioritizing harmony, and the fact that the young prince was alone and powerless, unable to resist the imperial prince who 'does not abuse his power and does not use his power to oppress others.'"

Su Shaochu bit her lip and sneered. The caressing breath on her face was so warm and cloying that it made her breath quicken, yet it was also filled with an inescapable and inescapable annoyance!

"What a lovely young man, so loving towards his younger brother! Purple Flying Twin Moons, Purple Smoke, what about next?"

"Young Master does not understand the Third Prince's meaning!"

"Yu Ziyan is Zifei Shuangyue, equating these two identities, and then giving them a death witnessed by a bunch of people—my brother, what a brilliant move!"

"Third Prince, you cannot conclude that Shao Chu and Zi Fei Shuang Yue are related simply because Yu Zi Yan and Shao Chu had feelings for each other!"

"You may insist on denying it, that Yu Ziyan and Zifei Shuangyue are both you, but the blood poison in your body cannot be hidden!"

"I am grateful for the Third Prince's concern regarding my past ailment, but I am able to manage it myself. I urge Your Highness to respect yourself and let go!" Facing those deep, bright eyes that remained fixed on him, showing no sign of backing down, Su Shaochu could only add, "Please, Third Prince, do not frighten the passing servants!"

The Third Prince Zhu Yu grabbed the Fourth Prince Su and passionately kissed him amidst the snowflakes. The two seemed to be gazing deeply into each other's eyes, which shocked the eunuchs and palace maids who were passing by so much that they dared not utter a sound.

The rumors of an ambiguous relationship between the Third Prince and the Fourth Young Master Su have been circulating for a long time, and now they are clearly evident!

Finally, under Zhu Yu's sharp gaze, everyone hurriedly fled in fear, their hearts trembling at what they had seen. After running away, they couldn't wait to tell others about this great royal event.

"The palm techniques of the Demon Sect are always cold and yin, and can become poisonous. The Jade Pearl, which can cure strange poisons, is effective against poisons themselves, but it has no effect on internal injuries and blood poisoning caused by the palm techniques."

It was made clear to him that trying to use the rare and poisonous pearl, Hanbi Pearl, which had been bestowed upon the Lu family, would be useless.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Third Prince. It's just a minor old ailment; there's no need for such a fuss."

Su Shaochu secretly breathed a sigh of relief at Zhu Yu finally loosening his grip; otherwise, he knew very well how little leverage he would have left.

Zhu Yu sighed at his words about his minor old ailment, saying, "My dear brother is no stranger to herbal medicine and should know that what can resolve blood and qi poisoning is not medicine, but the convergence of the celestial and terrestrial energies!"

At this moment, the sound of drums and the clamor of voices came from afar.

"It seems the archery competition is about to begin. I heard the Third Prince is one of the princes leading the opening archery ceremony. Hurry up! Don't keep the Emperor waiting!"

At this moment, Yan Pingfei and Feng Yan appeared at the other end of the path, waiting for their master.

"Third Prince, please." Su Shaochu stepped aside to show his respect.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu simply smiled and reached out to take off his expensive mink fur coat and draped it over Su Shaochu's shoulders!

"The Third Prince?!"

This action startled Su Shaochu, as a warm, gentle mink fur coat, which was cool to the touch, enveloped him.

"My beloved brother's lips are indeed the wine cup I desire most!" Reaching out to caress his lips, the other skillfully turned away, and Zhu Yu's voice was filled with intense longing. "How I wish I could possess you forever, my beloved brother, your lips, your body, your very being!"

"Although Shao Chu doesn't encourage daydreaming, if indulging in a little daydreaming can reduce the Third Prince's practical actions... cough cough, then it's alright to do it occasionally!" Su Shao Chu suggested with a serious expression. "It's better not to be too determined to pursue an unattainable dream; the consequences might be embarrassing!"

Because once his internal injuries have healed, if he still dares to use such tactics as forceful hugs and kisses, bullying and toying with kind young people, just wait and see!

Sigh! Actually, he's a pretty magnanimous person. As long as you don't touch Su Shaochu himself, he doesn't mind a certain kind of "selflessness." He's fine with people dreaming about him and doing whatever they want in their dreams, as long as it brings peace and satisfaction to the person involved. Just don't tell him about it.

"The zither of Yulan that I desire, no matter how difficult the dream may be to obtain, I will give everything I have, regardless of reputation or means, to get it!" Zhu Yu handed the umbrella to Su Shaochu, a smile playing on his lips, a warning and a declaration, "My dear brother, be careful! The moment you take the initiative to approach me will be the moment my dream comes true."

Su Shaochu frowned. Was this an implication that Zhu Yu's initiative to approach him meant it was time for him to make his move?!

"Your Highness, the fourth young master of the Su family, Su Shaochu, pays his respects." A palace maid bowed and announced from outside the hall.

"Please let him in."

Zhu Qingping arrived at the outer hall accompanied by palace maids on either side. Although she was middle-aged, her simple attire and natural grace exuded an air of noble elegance.

"You may all leave!"

After all the palace maids had left the hall, Su Shaochu immediately approached Zhu Qingping, who had a concerned expression on her face.

"Master!" He hurriedly helped his mentor, who had rushed to his side.

"Chu'er, are you alright? I was so worried when I heard about your accident, and your older brother wouldn't explain. It worried me to death." A warm, soft hand stroked her beloved disciple's pale face, filled with heartache. "You've lost so much weight, and your complexion isn't good either. Didn't you need enough Jade Pills? I have some more; take them all!"

"Master, don't worry, it was just a false alarm, I'm fine now." Su Shaochu smiled as usual and reassured him, "What did Big Brother say?"

Given that the eldest brother never worries his elders and shows great respect for the princess, he will surely gloss over it.

"Your elder brother only said that you and Master Fu were doing something when you were accidentally injured, and he hopes that the Jade Pill can help you recover quickly." Zhu Qingping was quite puzzled. "What were you doing? What could Master Fu be doing, and yet you were injured?"

"I asked Brother Fu for help with some tasks to arrest bad guys for the imperial court, but I accidentally fell into a trap and got injured. I'm fine now."

Fortunately, Fu Yaofeng found him in time while he was seriously injured and unconscious, and then pushed the body of the Nanzhai female bandit, who had been captured and killed countless women and children, into the river!

"Don't lie to your master. Although I have lost my martial arts skills, I still have the ability to diagnose and treat diseases. The faint blue aura between your eyebrows is clearly caused by blood poisoning."

Zhu Qingping pressed her hand against his wrist, her expression immediately changing. "The Demonic Hell Palm of the Demonic Sect?!"

Chapter Nine

"Wow—" Wuyou, dressed in a light red outfit, exclaimed happily. "As expected, the Seventh Prince's archery skills are superb!"

"Really—" another girl in pink, carefree, happily agreed! "Our judgment was right after all!"

Two pretty girls with identical faces, one carrying a longbow and the other a bamboo quiver full of arrows, were shouting and jumping. From the three-story-high observation tower, they had a commanding view of the endless competition field ahead.

Zhu Yu, standing to the side, sipped the wine served by the palace maids, propping his head up with his hand and listening to their soft, sweet voices, which sounded as lovely as birdsong.

"Your Majesty, would you like to shoot again?" Wuchou asked excitedly, turning his head.

Looking at the sky where the colors of the setting sun were already visible, he shook his head.

Today, besides the opening archery ceremony, he had already shot three rounds for his other brothers to see and had also given them guidance all afternoon. Now he wanted to enjoy the leisurely evening.

"Are you really not going anymore?" Wuyou was clearly disappointed.

"Right here, you can watch the whole competition." Knowing they were just curious and liked to make a fuss, Zhu Yu laughed.

"Really? Thank you, Your Majesty!" The little maids fawned over Zhu Yu on either side, cheering sweetly.

"My little yellow oriole is the cutest." Zhu Yuwen smiled and patted their heads. "Go and see if the final winner is the seventh prince you guessed." Judging from the sky, it must be the last match.

"Okay!" Wuyou and Wuchou immediately peeked happily out of the wooden railing again.

"It's Young Master Su—Young Master Su is over there—" Wuyou spotted the familiar figure in front of a row of snow-covered pine trees at the other end and couldn't help but point and shout happily.

"It really is—it's Young Master Su!" Wuchou excitedly shouted, waving her hands vigorously. "Young Master Su—we're here—"

Unfortunately, due to the distance, the other person obviously didn't hear and continued strolling on the stone steps in front of the pine tree.

"Huh? That mink fur coat looks just like the Emperor's." Sable fur is extremely precious; even the royal family only has it, with only the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince possessing it. How come Young Master Su has it too!

"That must be the Emperor's!" Wuyou recognized.

"Your Majesty?" The two of them looked at their master, who had come up behind them.

Gazing ahead at the figure dressed in his own clothes, Zhu Yu felt a strange stirring in his heart.

On the stone steps beneath the ancient pine trees, Su Shaochu strolled leisurely, but his mind was deeply preoccupied with his master Zhu Qingping's words...

"Chu'er, how did you fall victim to Mo Xiyi's martial arts! Did those demons target you?"

"No, Master, don't worry. The Mo hope Sect members didn't face me, so being hit by this palm was completely an accident!" He quickly reassured his worried master.

Zhu Qingping hurriedly grabbed Su Shaochu's hand and said, "The Yinliang Palm uses the convergence of the Heavenly Spring and Earthly Fire Qi to heal the body's Qi and blood, and uses sweating to expel the toxins from the blood and Qi!"

The convergence of celestial spring and terrestrial fire energy! Zhu Yu also mentioned this name!

"I remember that in the early days, a famous feng shui master who came to the capital said that the capital had a rare convergence of celestial spring and terrestrial energy, but in the end, he could never find where the earth vein was."

"Master, I will ask Brother Fu to find his friend who is skilled in feng shui to help find this place. You have just recovered from your illness, so I will be fine for a while. Don't worry." Su Shaochu helped her sit down on a chair.

"Chu'er, even if we can't find the Qi of the Heavenly Spring and Earthly Fire in a short time, let's find the Orchid Red Stone first. Grind the Orchid Red Stone into powder and use it as a medicinal guide to suppress the Yin Liang Palm's poison in the body."

"Lanchi Stone?" Su Shaochu remembered that this kind of stone was as rare and precious as other rare treasures, and it was hard to come by.

"The string of red beads that Yu'er wears on her ear, as long as her hair, is Lan Chi stone!"

The orchid stone is on Zhu Yu! Remembering what his master had said, Su Shaochu knew he was really in trouble!

Just then, a clear and melodious sound suddenly came from the depths of his heart. The high-pitched tone was accompanied by a bright and cheerful flute sound that was both familiar and long-lost, which stunned Su Shaochu!

At the same time, a familiar low voice came—

Where has the gentle breeze gone? Does the bright moon know sorrow? In this endless night, how many sweet dreams remain? Riding the wind, I cannot break through the waves of the mortal world; without wings, I cannot cross ten thousand peaks. In the end, my soul fades and my heart grows weary. Fate is hard to continue; dreams are hard to find…

...My jade flute represents my life. When you hear the sound of this flute again, I will have left this suffering world. Someone will carry the flute's sound to say my final farewell to you.

Su Shaochu couldn't believe it. He slowly turned around and, sure enough, saw the incomparably beautiful face from his memory running towards him!

"Chuo'er!"

As soon as he called out his name, the person rushed into his arms with delight and hugged him tightly!

"Who is that person? Why is he hugging Young Master Su!"

"Young Master Su belongs to us; we can't give him to her!"

On the other side of the Liaowang Pavilion, Wuyou and Wuchou, who had taken in all of this, began to jump up and down in protest, while Zhu Yu behind them simply narrowed his eyes.

"You're in the Central Plains! So you've come to the Central Plains too!"

"I……"

"You've been shutting yourself away from me all year, making me think you were really ignoring me. But it turns out you still care about me, don't you?"

Feng Chuo'er raised her face, which was both excited and puzzled. Her bright black eyes were always full of energy and vitality. At this moment, she was looking forward to it, but she was also afraid. She was afraid that the coldness the other party would say would always hurt her more than an insult.
