A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 164 The lingering shadow

"Prince...Prince..." The slightly warm fingers moved on his face, and Li Yunye's hair stood on end. He bravely tried his best to push the person in front of him away, but in return the other person hugged him tighter.

"Don't move. Let me take a good look at this beauty from the Jiangnan water town."

With an even more majestic voice, hot and humid breath sprayed on Li Yunye's face, making him shiver and his stomach churn.

Damn pervert!

Li Yunye turned his face away in disgust, but his chin was quickly pinched by the perverted prince, and he was forced to face his eyes, which were full of evil charm and a bit obscene. What should I do? Judging from his expression, he should not only be satisfied with obscenity, but also have more perverted actions? He will not give himself tonight...

The more Li Yunye thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was trembling with fear. He wanted to escape but couldn't, and he wanted to shout but couldn't. He was afraid that his rash actions would anger the other party. What's more, the person in front of him was the crown prince. If he was not careful, he would be the one to die.

"Hey, why are you crying when I haven't done anything? You're so soft-hearted, which makes people love you." Looking at the tears sliding down Li Yunye's eyes, the prince Gong Liangming had a look of joy on his face. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and desire appeared in his eyes.

"Please respect yourself, Your Highness..." Feeling the other person's body gradually getting warmer, Li Yunye felt cold all over.

Jiang Siyao had been in love before, so how could she not know what this situation meant? Li Yunye's body was in danger.

Brother Muliang, save me!

The first person that came to her mind was Brother Mu Liang.

"I am the prince. Am I not more worthy of your service than Zhuo Yanzheng?" Gong Liangming gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Yunye's eyes and asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, Prince. My cousin and I are innocent. My cousin is not what you think..." When Li Yunye heard Gong Liangming say such disgusting words, he couldn't help but get angry. You pervert, you are dirty yourself and you want to throw dirty water on your cousin. Do you think everyone is the same as you?

"What? Dirty? Are you calling me dirty? Huh?" Gong Liangming narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Yunye with amusement as if he was looking at prey.

Li Yunye swallowed and didn't dare to speak again. He just looked at Gong Liangming nervously, alert to his next move.

"Young Master Li! Young Master Li!" At this time, Liu Jiangxi's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"I'm here!" Hearing the voice getting closer, Li Yunye seemed to see hope and suddenly struggled and shouted.

There was a noise outside, and Gong Liangming didn't want to make things worse, so he let Li Yunye go.

Li Yunye, who had regained his freedom, didn't care about etiquette and turned around to run out, but the majestic voice behind him sounded coldly: "Did I let you go? You have no manners at all!"

Li Yunye stopped at the door and turned around nervously. Gong Liangming had already sat back in his seat, looking so relaxed as if nothing had happened.

This damn pervert is really good at pretending!

"Your servant Liu Jiangxi pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The palace door opened, and Liu Jiangxi, dressed in plain clothes, appeared in front of Li Yunye. She remained calm and graceful, and knelt down to pay homage to Crown Prince Gong Liangming who was sitting on the throne.

When he saw someone he could trust, Li Yunye felt a little sour in his nose. He felt aggrieved and wanted to cry but he didn't dare to. His eyes were red from holding it in.

"Well, get up." At this time, Gong Liangming looked noble and elegant and smiled at Liu Jiangxi.

Gong Liangming, who had always been lustful, naturally coveted Liu Jiangxi, but he also understood that a talented woman like Liu Jiangxi was like a wild horse that was difficult to tame. What's more, her father was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. As the crown prince who had been in the throne for more than 30 years, there was no need for him to offend these noble men of letters.

"Thank you, Your Highness." After Liu Jiangxi stood up, he looked at Li Yunye who was hanging his head beside him and said in a disparaging tone, "Since you were in front of the prince, you didn't even know to ask the palace servants to pass on the message, causing Uncle Zhuo and I to look for you everywhere!"

"He got lost and came here by mistake, so I kept him here to chat for a while. I didn't want you to have a hard time finding him." Gong Liangming first smiled lazily at Liu Jiangxi, then turned his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Yunye, and continued, "You guys go, don't let Censor Zhuo worry."

"Your Majesty, please retire."

"The common people resign."

Staring at Li Yunye's departing figure, Gong Liangming gave an evil smile.

After Li Yunye followed Liu Jiangxi out of the side hall, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Remember in the future, try to avoid the prince. It is not a good thing to be targeted by him." Liu Jiangxi suddenly handed a handkerchief to Li Yunye and said in a low voice.

"You...you just..." Li Yunye took the handkerchief and looked at Liu Jiangxi in surprise, but a sense of shame inexplicably rose in his heart.

"It's no secret in the court that the prince secretly keeps a male lover. I guessed it when I heard your voice just now, so I deliberately called you nearby." Liu Jiangxi said as he walked, his face as calm as water.

"Thank you." Li Yunye expressed his sincere gratitude to Liu Jiangxi. If Liu Jiangxi had not appeared tonight, he would probably have become the plaything of that perverted prince.

I never thought that after being reincarnated as the son of the richest man in Jiangnan, I would encounter such a bad thing.

Li Yunye followed Liu Jiangxi back to Zhuo Yanzheng, but before Li Yunye could speak, Liu Jiangxi lied for him. Although he didn't understand why she had to hide it from her cousin, he still followed her arrangement.

On the way back, the three of them sat in silence in the carriage. After sending Liu Jiangxi home, Li Yunye, who was extremely frightened, did not want to go back to Zhuo Mansion. He was afraid that his aunt and great-grandmother would ask him about what happened at the palace banquet. He could not pretend nothing had happened in front of his aunt and great-grandmother. At this moment, he just wanted to see his brother Mu Liang.

The carriage stopped outside Zhuo's house. Li Yunye did not get off the carriage. Instead, he found an excuse from his cousin about the famous Li Cloth Shop in Jiangnan and wanted to go to the outer city to find his brother. Zhuo Yanzheng did not ask much, but only told him to be careful on the road and then returned home.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Did something happen at the palace banquet?" An Yun drove the carriage and turned around to ask Li Yunye, who looked depressed in the carriage.

After the palace banquet, An Yun and the servants of the Zhuo Mansion were the last family waiting outside the palace. Seeing the young master who came out late looking listless, they guessed that something must have happened. It was not convenient to ask because Lord Zhuo and Miss Liu were around, so they asked anxiously now that there was no one else around. However, Li Yunye did not respond to them.

It was already the second watch when they returned to the courtyard. Mu Liang and Lao Zhou had already gone to bed. They were surprised to see Li Yunye suddenly come back in the middle of the night. They thought something big had happened, but Li Yunye just shook his head and remained silent.

Mu Liang saw his brother-in-law looking unhappy and felt anxious. He learned from An Yun that his brother-in-law became like this after attending a palace banquet in the imperial palace tonight. It seemed that something must have happened at the banquet, but seeing that his brother-in-law was unwilling to speak, he had to give up.

"Brother Mu Liang, I don't want to be alone." After settling his brother down, Mu Liang went back to his room to turn off the lights and rest, but he saw Li Yunye rushing in with a look of horror on his face.

Whenever Li Yunye closed his eyes, the scene of being molested by the perverted prince tonight would unconsciously emerge in his mind. He seemed to be able to hear Gong Liangming's breath in the room. Gong Liangming had become his lingering shadow.
