Chapter 311 I Want to Be in a Relationship
<>
The crowd clearly gathered in one place, and people around, seeing that there was something interesting to see, happily moved forward. Of course, there were also people who knew what was happening and were clearly pushing forward with a purpose.
Yu Liu was pushed by someone pushing forward next to her, and Wang Sun Chu Quan took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. His eyes immediately revealed his joy, and he was very satisfied with the result.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you!" He seized the opportunity to express his determination.
Yu Liu's cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't break free from his embrace and quietly let him carry her. "Oh. Um, what happened up ahead? Let's go take a look."
"Good good!"
This was Yu Liu's first request after leaving the palace. Wangsun Chuquan naturally nodded in agreement. He gave a wink to the guards behind him, who immediately understood and rushed in front of the two, parting the increasingly frenzied crowd and clearing a path for them.
"Ahhh, I'm so excited—"
"No, no, my heart can't take it! Just thinking about what's going to happen next makes my heart pound!"
"Don't get too excited yet, hurry up and squeeze forward, you can see things more clearly from the front!"
The people who gathered around occasionally chimed in with a few words, and the closer they got to the center of the gathering, the more... frenzied the expressions on their faces became?
Wait! Wang Sun Chuquan paused subtly for a moment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened, so Yu Liu wouldn't notice. He was already frowning inwardly, because he realized something was amiss; the expressions on the people's faces seemed strangely familiar to him.
It seems that every time I leave the palace and am recognized, the common people who rush to see me have the same expression... if I remember correctly.
The regent confidently stroked his chin with his free hand, giving himself a thumbs-up for his memory.
He stopped, his arm around Yu Liu, and amidst Yu Liu's puzzled gaze, arrogantly raised his chin and casually grabbed a commoner nearby.
The man was rather tall and burly, charging forward with all his might, when he inadvertently bumped into Wang Sun Chuquan and was caught red-handed. His collar was grabbed, forcing the burly man to stop his charge. His brows furrowed with anger as he turned to glare at Wang Sun Chuquan, who had stopped him: "What are you doing…"
He was halfway through his sentence when he finally got a good look at Wang Sun Chu Quan. His demeanor and the obviously expensive accessories and clothes he wore indicated that the other party was a wealthy man, possibly an official in the capital. He was definitely not someone a powerless commoner like himself could afford to offend. Thinking this, his momentum weakened.
"...What...what do you want to do?"
He was a little nervous.
Amid the throng, two guards dutifully protected Prince Chu Quan and Yu Liu, but were constantly struggling against the frenzied crowd.
"Don't worry, I just wanted to ask you something small!" Wang Sun Chu Quan raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat frivolous, and his voice sounding a bit cynical: "I just wanted to ask what exactly happened up ahead?"
Who on earth has appeared here? Judging from the situation, it's almost as bad as when I arrived. Could it be the young emperor surrounded by people? Impossible, the young emperor doesn't seem to be that popular. So who else could it be?
The Regent expressed considerable curiosity.
Upon hearing this, the burly man who had been captured immediately became excited, forgetting his earlier fear: "You don't know? The news has spread far and wide! His Majesty the Regent is out inspecting the people's conditions, right ahead! Please release me quickly, I want to get a good spot!"
His words caused Wangsun Chuquan and Yuliu to exchange bewildered glances, while the two guards who had been struggling to keep him occupied were also shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible!"
"How is that impossible?!" Someone squeezed past and accidentally brushed against the burly man, which immediately soured his mood, and his tone became unpleasant: "His Excellency the Regent is so concerned about the country and the people's lives, and he has specially left the palace to observe the people's conditions. This is not the first time this has happened, how can it be impossible?!"
The burly man looked at Yu Liu and her group as if they were idiots. Finally, he didn't know where he got the courage, but he broke free from Wang Sun Chu Quan's grip on his collar, gave him a disdainful look, and turned to plunge into the crowd that was pushing forward.
Wang Sun Chuquan's face darkened. He looked at the burly man who had disappeared into the crowd, and viciously pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands: "Let's go, let's go see what's going on ahead. I want to know, the real me is here, and what is that thing up ahead?"
He gave a cold laugh, his voice tinged with anger. His carefree demeanor had vanished, replaced by an aura that surged ever higher, becoming increasingly unfathomable. Though it only lasted a moment, Yu Liu and the surrounding people felt it acutely. As for the two guards who had been following him, they shivered the instant his aura appeared, cold sweat instantly beading on their foreheads.
The prince was furious. The two men exchanged a glance, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes. Remembering the fate of the last person who had angered the prince, they silently mourned for the imposter posing as the regent.
Yu Liu, leaning against Wangsun Chuquan's chest, was most sensitive to the sudden aura emanating from him. She knew in her heart that this must be the true form of the powerful regent, for only in this way could he subdue those with ill intentions. The previous goofy regent had clearly misjudged the situation!
Yu Liu silently complained to Wang Sun Chu Quan, but he couldn't hear her. The moment his aura rose, he suddenly remembered that the baby was still in his arms, so he forcibly withdrew his aura. He glanced at Yu Liu nervously and subtly, and when he found that she did not show any fear or apprehension, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, baby, let's go see who this regent up ahead really is. We'll uncover his true identity too. If he knew the real regent was right here, oh ho ho, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
He chuckled a few times, his eyes squinting, already envisioning that thrilling scene.
"But..." After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly lowered his head, his thin lips close to Yu Liu's ear, his breathing clearly audible even in the noisy crowd: "Baby, I have a deal with you. When there are a lot of people, don't reveal my identity. Once we catch him, we'll talk to him alone and enjoy watching his expression then. It'll be hilarious~"
