After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 826: Just Need One Kiss from You (11)
CHAPTER 826: CHAPTER 826: JUST NEED ONE KISS FROM YOU (11)
Because the future Prince Consort and Quan Jinbei look alike, people are already speculating if the future Prince Consort and Quan Jinbei have some kind of relationship.
Many are curious about these questions, but only a few actually know the truth.
Upon hearing Mr. Bai mention this, not only was Xiaosi intrigued, but even Quan Jinbei became curious.
Seeing their interest in what he knew, Mr. Bai immediately got confident.
He hinted at Quan Jinbei with his eyes and said in a frivolous tone, "You want to know the identity of the future Prince Consort? I can tell you, but there is one condition."
Quan Jinbei sneered coldly at him.
Mr. Bai, not sure where his confidence came from, assumed that since Quan Jinbei was interested in the future Prince Consort’s matters, he would comply with his demands.
So, feeling quite proud, he lifted his chin.
"This secret cost me a lot to obtain; I can’t share it with you for free. If you want to know, you must give something in return."
Xiaosi was angered by his attitude of taking advantage of the situation. "Mr. Bai, it’s just some gossip. If you’re willing to share, we’ll listen; if not, we don’t care!"
"You want to trade this piece of news just to make my Young Master do something like that? Why don’t you go rob someone instead? I think you’d be better off as a bandit!"
Mr. Bai, with a face full of arrogance, said, "A bandit? You only think I’m a bandit because you don’t know the value of the information I hold! If you knew, you wouldn’t talk like this."
This remark...
Xiaosi was unwilling to believe it. "You claim your information is valuable, but is it really? In the end, isn’t it just gossip?"
"Gossip?"
Mr. Bai seemed very displeased that his reliable information channel was being questioned and said immediately, "This piece of gossip concerns whether the Young Master in the backyard can become the Prince Consort!"
"Prince Consort?" Xiaosi looked puzzled. "Isn’t the identity of the Prince Consort already decided?"
"Yes." Mr. Bai nodded, then sighed. "If I had known the Princess looked at names when choosing, I should have asked my parents to help me change my name before entering the palace."
Hearing this, Quan Jinbei inexplicably felt like he was being mentioned.
He asked immediately, "What do you mean by saying the Prince Consort is chosen by looking at names? What’s the name of the future Prince Consort?"
Seeing him so agitated, Mr. Bai had a guess in his mind.
It was likely that he thought the Prince Consort looked like him, but while he was an unnoticed little wretch, the Prince Consort became the Prince Consort.
Thinking this, Mr. Bai could understand his offense and said immediately, "This was originally a secret, but since you want to know, I’ll tell you."
Quan Jinbei was uninterested in his nonsense and said right away, "Stop beating around the bush. What is the name of the future Prince Consort?"
Seeing this, Mr. Bai finally stopped stalling and said directly, "The future Prince Consort’s fate is very tragic. Before being chosen by the Princess, he was just a Xiaoguan... It’s said he was even defiled. I overheard this, so I can’t guarantee its accuracy."
Quan Jinbei grew impatient with his rambling.
"Can you get to the point?"
Mr. Bai rolled his eyes, "Can you not be in such a rush? Have some patience."
"You just want to know his name, right? I’ll tell you now."
As he said this, he leaned close to Quan Jinbei’s face and puckered his lips, "All I need is a sweet kiss."
Quan Jinbei raised his hand and gave him a flick on the forehead.
"Ouch—"
Mr. Bai complained, "Can you not be so violent? After all, I am your man. Can’t you be a little nicer to me?"
Quan Jinbei: "You’re my man?"
Hearing the clear threat in his words, Mr. Bai got scared.
He weakly said, "I misspoke. You are not my man; you are just the man I want..."
"Hmm?" Quan Jinbei narrowed his eyes, filled with killing intent.
Mr. Bai: "..."
His legs went weak instantly, and he hurriedly said, "I, I really didn’t mean it, please spare me!"
"Hmph." Quan Jinbei snorted lightly, "Then can you tell me now, what is the name of the future Prince Consort?"
"I’ll tell, I’ll tell!" This time Mr. Bai didn’t dare to play tricks and honestly revealed the future Prince Consort’s name.
"The future Prince Consort’s name is... Quan Jinbei."
Saying this, Mr. Bai couldn’t help but exclaim, "I don’t know what the madam was thinking, giving such a domineering name to a Xiaoguan."
Quan Jinbei: "..."
He once again experienced the malice of Song Jinghuan.
He had already found out that Princess Zhaoyang was Shi Yaoguang.
And the things that happened to Princess Zhaoyang also matched her identity.
But one thing.
Although he knew Song Jinghuan was a bastard.
He still didn’t understand how much of a bastard he really was.
Mr. Bai, unaware that Quan Jinbei was cursing Song Jinghuan in his mind, was curious when he saw Quan Jinbei fell silent after he mentioned the male consort’s name.
"Young Master, why aren’t you speaking? By the way, I haven’t asked for your name yet."
Quan Jinbei glanced at him and said directly, "Quan Jinbei."
Quan Jinbei was certain the words he said were "Quan Jinbei."
However.
In Mr. Bai’s ears, it was heard as...
Zhu Xiaotian.
Mr. Bai, upon hearing his name, choked on his own saliva.
With a look of disbelief, he said, "So the Young Master’s name is actually Zhu Xiaotian! No wonder so few people know your real name, it’s because it doesn’t match your appearance at all."
Quan Jinbei: "..."
Damn Zhu Xiaotian.
When he goes back, he won’t let Song Jinghuan off the hook.
But that’s not important now.
The most important thing is to let Princess Zhaoyang know that he is the real Zhu Xiaotian.
However...
Due to his earlier behavior towards Mr. Bai, his cover was blown.
The thunderclouds outside had already gathered.
"Boom—"
Hearing the sound, Xiaosi couldn’t help but go outside to take a look.
What he saw was a big shock.
He screamed in panic, "Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!"
He loudly called out to Quan Jinbei, "Young Master, you, you better come out and have a look! Are we going to die here? Wuuu..."
Xiaosi’s voice was so desperate that even Mr. Bai felt a shiver in his heart.
He couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on? What happened outside?"
Xiaosi’s tearful voice came in, "Wuuu... I thought it was going to rain heavily, but when I went outside, I saw that only above our courtyard there are thunderclouds, nowhere else has any, it’s so terrifying!"
Hearing this, Mr. Bai’s legs went weak.
He already started imagining many scary scenarios, stiffly turning his neck to look at Quan Jinbei.
He begged him, "Young Master... Zhu Xiaotian, please save me!"
Hearing him call out "Zhu Xiaotian," Quan Jinbei’s expression twisted for a moment.
