Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Male Pet
“Can just anyone come to see His Highness’s illness? Can you guarantee that he won’t leak the information or be bought by others? Mu Lingyun, if something goes wrong, can you bear the consequences?” Xiao Kai said very displeased.
He was angry that this woman took it upon herself to decide.
“I just thought you looked familiar and now I finally remember,” Jiang Jingxin said, narrowing his eyes slightly and speaking coldly, “you are the Xiao Kai who wrote a ten-thousand-word denunciation without any basis, wantonly slandering His Majesty? A person who doesn’t even understand seeking truth from facts has the nerve to bark here?”
Xiao Kai: …
He felt that this information was a bit too much!
This… the person before him came from the same place as they did?
“Who are you?” Xiao Kai asked, staring intently at Jiang Jingxin.
“Your father is Jiang Jingxin, you know?” Jiang Jingxin said with a slight tilt of his chin, looking down on Xiao Kai.
“Jiang Jingxin, so it’s you, grandson.” Xiao Kai said disdainfully, “That’s it? Just looking like this? And you’re the sole favorite of the Empress? Mu Lingyun, your taste really is poor.”
Everyone knew that the Empress had a male favorite, who, though neither given the title of consort nor queen, was always brought along wherever she went, clearly a sign of deep affection.
He had thought it would be someone incredibly stunning.
Instead, it was just this?
The looks could at best be considered delicate, the only commendable feature being this pair of eyes.
And these eyes were somewhat similar to those of their Crown Prince, but definitely not as attractive as the Crown Prince’s.
Thus, compared to their Crown Prince, Jiang Jingxin fell far short.
Xiao Kai was quite doubtful of Mu Lingyun’s aesthetic judgment.
“Shut up!” Jiang Jingxin glanced at Xiao Kai with annoyance and said, “You don’t even take a look at yourself in the mirror before you judge others? I think you’ve completely lost all self-awareness.”
Mu Lingyun: …
She was somewhat speechless at both of them and simply left them, entering Luochen’s study.
The two continued to argue for a while before following her inside.
In the study’s resting room, Jiang Jingxin finally met the person who had troubled his heart for over a decade yet whom he had never met.
He was asleep with no expression on his face.
But his features were exquisitely beautiful, like carefully sculpted works of art.
Though his eyes were similar to those of the man before him, the latter’s eyes combined with his features were stunningly handsome, breathtakingly so.
It was as if a celestial being had descended from the Nine Heavens.
As for himself, he could only be described as plain.
To be a substitute for such a person was an honor he should cherish.
Perhaps sensing someone approaching, Luochen suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze turning to the stranger.
Jiang Jingxin felt an unprecedented oppression, which made him involuntarily lower his head and stop in his tracks from a distance.
“Who is he?” Luochen withdrew his gaze and asked Mu Lingyun.
“He is Jiang Jingxin, also from Another World. I wanted him to…”
Mu Lingyun was speaking when Xiao Kai interrupted her with a snide chuckle.
“Ha, Your Majesty the Empress, do you always introduce people without clarifying things? Aren’t you going to tell our Crown Prince about him being your male favorite?” Xiao Kai said.
“Xiao Kai! Don’t spout nonsense!” Mu Lingyun shot a cold glance at Xiao Kai, then turned her gaze back to Luochen and shook her head, “No, he’s not a favorite, just a friend.”
“Ha! I’m spouting nonsense?” Xiao Kai raised his eyebrows and smirked coldly.
