The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 17

“Where did this depraved man come from? How dare he behave cruelly in the imperial harem?” The sexy woman was in a bad mood when she was struck by the sight of a stranger. Wasn't this the perfect target to vent his frustration because he had the guts to shake his head and pursed his lips?    

Jiang Chen frowned and turned his head to ask Xia Ting, “Who is this stupid woman?”    

It was as if someone inserted a goose egg into Xia Ting's mouth when he heard this. He put on a surprised expression and smiled wryly, as no words came out of his open mouth, unable to answer for the time being.    

“Basic depraved, okay, who do you call a stupid woman?”    

“Who else besides you?” Jiang Chen was also angered by two repeated “bejat” labels. “If my memory is correct, the last time I gave orders to Eastern Zhiruo to stop practicing!”    

“And I want to ask who decided to appoint such a fool by the princess' side?”    

“If I have to constantly answer such basic and stupid questions, then I will ask you to look for another expert for this diagnosis!    

And, you stupid lady, don't put your sword around the princess' neck whenever you want. The mind is worried when the heart is pounding, and the qi is lost when the mind is hesitant. The princess's life Qi had been weak from the start, did you complain that she did not die fast enough?    

And the dumbest of all is that the wooden sword you use is made of enigmatic cloud wood. The wood has a yin character and will trigger yin humor in the body of the princess. Are you all idiots in this vast palace?”    

The woman was enraged when her steps were stopped by Jiang Chen's direct speech. He was also a little surprised as he recognized the enigmatic cloudwood with just a single glance.    

As for Eastern Zhiruo, she ran over while laughing in a timid manner from a young girl. He pulled up Jiang Chen's sleeves, “Well brother Jiang Chen, aunt Gouyu has just returned today from an adventure outside. He doesn't know anything about Zhiruo's matter, so please forgive him.”    

"Wait a minute!" The woman named Gouyu had regained consciousness. “Zhiruo, give me an explanation this time as well. Who wants this.the forgiveness of this damned brat? How am I wrong? And who is this boy? How could he access the imperial harem?”    

“And you don't admit that you're an idiot. You think I care to enter the imperial harem?”    

“Brat, if you call me an idiot once again I will hit you hard so you can't eat or even poop!”    

“Sst! The threat? From someone like you? Save it." Save it." Jiang Chen insulted.    

On the sidelines, eunuch Xia Ting wanted to take the time to quietly slip away, as he realized that things were not as he had imagined. He didn't want to be stuck in the middle awkwardly.    

He was the one who brought that person here; it was out of his control if things turned into a commotion of flying chickens and jumping dogs.    

Poor Eastern Zhiruo had to put out the flames on both sides.    

Jiang Chen grabbed it, “Come, Son, show me your room.”    

These words really enraged Gouyu. He swung his wooden sword and advised, “Lecher! You really think I wouldn't dare split you?”    

“Basic crazy woman, you really took the wrong medicine this morning. I came to diagnose Princess Zhiruo because of my kindness, and you made trouble not once, but many times. Do you believe that..”    

“Do I believe what?” Gouyu laughed coldly.    

"Forget over. Good men don't fight with women. Princess Zhiruo, is she your martial master? Fire him as early as possible. You won't live past the age of 16 with him by your side.    

The clear skin on Gouyu's face was covered in a cloud of lightning in an instant. He focused his voice and shouted, “Son, I challenge you to say that once again!”    

Seeing his expression, Eastern Zhiruo knew that Gouyu was really angry. She hurriedly said, “Alright Auntie. You two stop talking. Listen to Zhiruo's explanation. This is Jiang Chen, father has hired him as my royal physician. Auntie, don't underestimate Jiang Chen! She was really amazing, she knew that I was not sick, but I was born with a yin condition so was unable to cultivate. Cultivating will add to my meridian load and deplete my life qi.”    

“Royal doctor? This boy?” Skepticism was written all over Gouyu's proud face.    

“Aunt, his name is Jiang Chen, not 'this boy'.” Eastern Zhiruo responded with delight. “Brother Jiang Chen, this is my aunt, and my father's sister. Call her Princess Gouyu and not some idiot or crazy woman. Sounds not good!”    

"Aunty?" Jiang Chen was surprised. He did not expect this at all. He assumed that this ruthless woman was a female martial dao master.    

But she still had to be lectured, even more so if she was Zhiruo's aunt. "Aunty? Was there an aunt in this world who treated her nephew like this? Did you know that everything you have just done has pushed him down the road of death? Just because you're a princess doesn't mean you deserve to be a fool who feels right on your own.”    

Anger and killing intent seethed in Princess Gouyu's eyes as her beautiful hands involuntarily fumbled the hilt of her sword.    

Their eyes meet. Jiang Chen's open appearance – is calm and pure. His heart was unselfish and encompassing the world, and was not afraid of killing as Princess Gouyu had sent her.    

“Brat, I don't care who you are. You've called me an idiot five times and a crazy woman once today. Remember this, women hold grudges.”    

“Jiang Chen right? Young duke, right?” A strange smile suddenly rang on Gouyu's lips, as if he had known one of Jiang Chen's secrets.    

Jiang Chen shrugged, “I fear everything except the threat of a woman. Alright, I will diagnose Princess Zhiruo now. You are not welcome here.”    

“I am not accepted? Says who?" Gouyu became increasingly displeased. “This is my house, understand?”    

"What's? You mean tell me you're not married? Please, how old are you? Even your niece will marry someone, and you still dare to call this your home? Do you hate marriage so much? Is it really nice to be the rest of the woman1?”    

If not for Eastern Zhiruo's illness, Gouyu would have definitely slashed at Jiang Chen with a single swing and dragged his corpse out to feed the dogs.    

His sharp gaze fully described his thoughts back then.    

“OK, bad boy. Congratuations. You have been successfully remembered by this princess. I'll go back and change clothes. If I find out that diagnosing Zhiruo is the wrong reason, you will find out that you will die a terrible death.”    

Jiang Chen sneered. “Quick scram! Remember to close the curtains as you change clothes to avoid scaring anyone. Even if you don't succeed in scaring people, scaring unimportant people is wrong.    

A charming smile appeared on Eastern Zhiruo's face, showing an aura of naive innocence. This smile somewhat lightened Jiang Chen's mood. He was completely angered by the woman until he lost his mind.    

He did not mind that stupid attitude. What caught his attention was that the woman immediately started with “lecher” as soon as she opened her mouth.    

“I didn't think I, Jiang Chen, had been insulted by a brainless stupid woman! Sigh!"    

Jiang Chen came to the Eastern Zhiruo residence under his guidance, and he spent some time wandering around them.    

“Brother Jiang Chen, what do you think? My place is pretty good, right?”    

Jiang Chen smiled lightly. “That's pretty decent, but it's really inappropriate for you to stay here. Whether in terms of wider environment, or in terms of its detailed design – everything pushes you further towards death.”    

Eastern Zhiruo's calm became extremely chaotic. “Brother Jiang Chen, don't scare me.”    

“The imperial house is a huge complex inside the palace, and it is already a place of powerful yin qi. The design of this imperial harem garden was too quiet, without Yang Qi concentration, making it easier to attract yin objects. If you hadn't practiced martial arts when you were born and didn't live here, your lifespan would be about the same as that of an ordinary person. Too bad you were born into a royal family.”    

"Ah? Brother Jiang Chen, you scared me. Will Zhiruo really not make it past the age of sixteen?”    

“If you haven't met me yet, you may not have made it through this year.”    

Jiang Chen was not worried. This environment is the focal point of natural yin. How did the bad mood in the yin constitution not get any worse?    

Ignoring Zhiruo East's worried expression, Jiang Chen walked over quickly. He raised his head; sometimes climbed up the wall, and sometimes walked up.    

He returned to Eastern Zhiruo's side after a while and asked, “If I destroy this imperial harem complex and redesign it, will your father, the king, agree to it?”    

“Brother Jiang Chen, you..you are kidding right? There were three thousand people in the imperial harem, not just Zhiruo's residence alone.”    

“So, this proposal will not work?”    

"No no." Eastern Zhiruo extended her delicate hand. “Zhiruo could not affect the daily life of the entire imperial harem just for himself.”    

What a woman to be pitied and respected. He was facing his death, yet was still thinking about the bigger picture. The true definition of a kingdom life that could be thrown away!    

“Then you have to move, early is better. The longer you stay here, means the closer you are to death.”    

“It can't be done either. Zhiruo is a royal princess, and cannot leave the imperial harem to the outside world before getting married.” Eastern Zhiruo's voice was as low as that of a mosquito, like a child doing wrong. His head was extremely low because he did not dare to look at Jiang Chen.    

As if this was all his fault.    

“I think, are these damn rules important, or is your life important?” Jiang Chen was a bit at a loss for words.    

“Brother Jiang Chen, do you have any other way? My life and the rules are equally important. But Zhiruo was afraid breaking the rules would cause others to be unhappy.”    

"Who? Who dares to be unhappy? Tell your parents to execute him.” Jiang Chen's grand attitude was obvious.    

“Pfft...” Eastern Zhiruo entertained with Jiang Chen's seriousness. “Brother Jiang Chen, you like to joke! It's very interesting to be near you.”    

The girl wrapped her arms lightly on her upper arm and said sweetly, “I know brother Jiang Chen will give you a better idea.”    

The gentle fragrance of a girl smelled casually into Jiang Chen's nostrils, making him feel from the bottom of his heart that being young was good.    

He laughed, “I already have an idea, but you really can't practice anymore. Ai, that stupid woman, you said she was your aunt?”    

“Hehe, you insult aunt again.” Eastern Zhiruo blinked a pair of excited and excited eyes. “Brother Jiang Chen, Zhiruo will tell you a secret. You can't insult my aunt anymore.”    

"Why not? He's an idiot once, yet I can't lecture him? I insulted him to help him get smarter. My intentions are good and good.”    

“Hehe, but my aunt is a princess. He was also the organizer of the number one Hidden Dragon Trials. Don't you need to participate in it?”    

"What?" Jiang Chen jumped when he heard these words. “Why didn't you tell me this before?    

“Because you two didn't give me a chance before.” Eastern Zhiruo felt a little sad.    

Jiang Chen was extremely depressed. He had just offended Du Ruhai, but Du Ruhai was only second. But now, Princess Gouyu was the main person in charge!    

The Hidden Dragon Trials…    

Jiang Chen could see many flaming and thorny obstacles flying towards him. The main organizer and his right hand both hated him. How could his life not be easy for him in the Hidden Dragon Trials?    

The remnant woman is a modern Chinese slang that denotes a spinster not by choice
