Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 208 Slapping the Arrogant Crown Prince in the Face 1

The air pressure around Leng Yuexing was extremely low, and even the boy with his head down could feel it.

He was only recently sold to Qingfeng Tower. He didn't know how Leng Yuexing got in here, but he knew that Leng Yuexing hated this place.

He hated this place just like Leng Yuexing, but hating it was useless; he couldn't escape it anyway.

Leng Yuexing had a thousand or eight hundred ways to leave, but he decided to stay here for the time being.

As the chosen one of Heaven, his appearance in a brothel must have some special reason.

If he leaves now, it will negatively impact the fortune of collecting the Son of Heaven.

After thinking it over, Leng Yuexing turned to the boy and said, "Wait for me at the door. I'll go with you after I change my clothes."

"Yes, young master," the young man replied softly, then turned and left the room.

After he left, Leng Yuexing opened the wardrobe next to the bed, wanting to find a piece of clothing to wear.

The moment I opened the wardrobe, my eyes were filled with all kinds of sheer clothes.

Only a few robes matched the one he was wearing, made of silk, but they were loose and baggy, emphasizing exposure.

Leng Yuexing sighed softly, then began picking through the wardrobe, finally managing to choose an undergarment and a long robe.

After wearing it, apart from the exposed chest area, the rest was barely acceptable.

Leng Yuexing simply tied her hair back with a red silk ribbon before opening the door.

The boy stood demurely at the door waiting for Leng Yuexing. After Leng Yuexing opened the door, he quickly looked up, then lowered his head again with amazement in his eyes.

He would probably never forget the amazement he felt when he first saw the young master. The young master's figure was like a celestial being in a heavenly palace, making him feel as if he were not in Qingfeng Tower, but in a palace in the heavens.

"Let's go."

Leng Yuexing's clear, cool voice, like a spring, pulled the boy out of his reverie. After a moment of surprise, he turned and led Leng Yuexing downstairs.

Qingfeng Tower has three floors. The third floor has only one room where Leng Yuexing lives. The second floor is where the madam and other young masters and ladies live. The first floor is where guests are entertained.

Although it only has three floors, Qingfeng Tower occupies a large area. Behind the main building, there are many smaller buildings, each with its own unique layout and furnishings.

The small building at the back is only used when special guests arrive.

The boy led Leng Yuexing to a room at the very back of the second floor. Although the room was in a remote corner, it offered a clear view of the entire first-floor hall from the doorway, making it a good place for surveillance.

The boy knocked gently on the door, and a soft "Come in" rang out. The boy then opened the door.

The madam inside wasn't very old, only in her early thirties. She was dressed in a gorgeous, somewhat revealing long dress. Upon seeing the young man knocking on the door, she teased, "It's you, Nuan Nuan. Did you bring the young master with you?"

The boy named Nuannuan lowered his head shyly and smiled slightly, "I brought it. Young Master is right behind me."

Leng Yuexing stepped out from behind Nuan Nuan, her face icy cold.

"Nuan Nuan, you go down first. I have something to say to the young master."

As soon as the madam finished speaking, Nuannuan bowed and left.

After he closed the door, the madam suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Leng Yuexing. "Young master, our people have sent a letter saying that the Crown Prince will be coming to Qingfeng Tower tomorrow."

Although Leng Yuexing was surprised when the madam knelt down, his expression did not change at all.

After the madam finished speaking, he said slowly and deliberately, "Get up. There's no need to stand on ceremony outside."

The madam stood up and looked at Leng Yuexing gratefully. "Young master is not bound by etiquette, but I still have to do my part. If it weren't for you saving me, I would have been killed long ago. I will remember your kindness forever."

Leng Yuexing naturally didn't know about the time when the Son of Heaven saved the madam, but that wasn't important. What was important was what she had just said about the current crown prince.

Leng Yuexing had no idea what they were planning to do by luring the Crown Prince here.

Then, Leng Yuexing asked casually, "Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"

"Everything the young master instructed has been arranged!" The madam then explained the details to Leng Yuexing.

Based on what the madam mentioned, Leng Yuexing guessed that their purpose in approaching the crown prince was to kill him, but she didn't know why.

He was afraid that asking directly would arouse the other party's suspicion, so he thought he would find a way to get the information out of them later.

According to the madam, Leng Yuexing's current task is to attract the Crown Prince's attention and gain his trust.

Leng Yuexing deduced that they belonged to an assassin organization, and that he was also an assassin in that organization, and that he must have a high position, since the others in the organization had to follow his orders.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Leng Yuexing didn't ask too many questions. After getting a general understanding, she prepared to leave the madam's room.

Before leaving the madam's room, Leng Yuexing suddenly thought of the clothes in the wardrobe, so he asked the madam to buy some more ordinary clothes instead of such unconventional ones.

The madam laughed awkwardly upon hearing this, "Young master, your current identity is that of the newly appointed courtesan of Qingfeng Pavilion. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if you dressed too conservatively..."

Before she could finish speaking, Leng Yuexing interrupted her, "As the top courtesan, you shouldn't wear such revealing clothes, otherwise wouldn't that seem vulgar?" Leng Yuexing retorted righteously.

The madam glanced at Leng Yuexing, who didn't appear vulgar at all but rather extremely free-spirited and alluring. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Young master is right. Don't worry, I'll have Nuannuan go and buy some clothes that suit you in a little while."

Leng Yuexing nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

After he left, the madam called Nuannuan over, instructed her to go to the nearby clothing store to buy some clothes for the young master, and then let him leave.

After returning to her room, Leng Yuexing began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

He had hoped to find letters indicating the secret communication between the Chosen One and the assassin organization, but to no avail.

Leng Yuexing was not disappointed, after all, he could guess that after receiving the intelligence, the Son of Heaven would destroy the letter immediately to avoid the risk of exposure.

Unable to find the relevant intelligence, Leng Yuexing had no choice but to turn to the official gazettes of the past few months, hoping to find clues there.

In the end, he only obtained a few simple pieces of information.

The country we are in now is Chaoyang Kingdom. The current emperor has been in power for twenty years. The emperor has six sons, among whom the most favored by the emperor is the crown prince, who is ranked first.

The crown prince was raised by the emperor from childhood and was greatly favored by the emperor.

What caught Leng Yuexing's attention was that the official gazette mentioned Dongfang Ye, the Grand Preceptor of Chaoyang Kingdom.

The former Grand Preceptor of Chaoyang Kingdom passed away a few years ago, and the current Grand Preceptor is the former Grand Preceptor's disciple.

The official gazette records: "The Imperial Preceptor, Dongfang Ye, is twenty-three years old. He is handsome and elegant, like a celestial being descended to earth. He has repeatedly predicted natural disasters by observing celestial phenomena, enabling the people of Chaoyang Kingdom to avoid many calamities. The people who were saved all regard him as a celestial being who has been reincarnated, and they worship him with a longevity tablet."

The official gazette also mentioned some events concerning the current Crown Prince and the Imperial Advisor, Dongfang Ye. Leng Yuexing speculated that the Crown Prince and the Imperial Advisor, Dongfang Ye, were not on good terms, as their opinions always seemed to clash. The Emperor, however, trusted the Imperial Advisor more than the Crown Prince, which caused the Crown Prince's resentment to deepen.

Leng Yuexing felt that the reason their people were able to lure the Crown Prince over was probably also due to the Grand Preceptor Dongfang Ye.

That's all he could find. For the rest, he could only try to find more information, like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle.

Leng Yuexing searched for clues in the room until it got dark, when he realized that the day was almost over.

At that moment, Nuannuan knocked on the door, carrying her newly bought clothes.

After Leng Yuexing let him in, Nuannuan placed the clothes she was carrying on the table in the room and whispered, "Young master, these are all new clothes. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like."

After thanking him, Leng Yuexing lowered her head and began to look through the pages.

The clothes on the table were all of very high quality, but Leng Yuexing's favorite was a red robe with gold trim.

The robe was extremely magnificent. After putting it on, Leng Yuexing nodded in satisfaction. He was very pleased with both the workmanship and the style of the robe.

He turned around and patted Nuannuan's head, saying, "Thank you."

Nuannuan returned his smile with an extremely shy and hopeful expression.
