Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 315 I Want to Fall in Love

"Royal Uncle—"

Having just returned to the palace, the young emperor, having shed his disguise, pounced on Wangsun Chuquan with an exaggeratedly distorted expression on his face, quickly landing at his feet and grabbing his thighs with both hands.

"How have you been lately, Uncle?" He raised a face that seemed to be both smiling and crying, his voice carrying the characteristic high-pitched tone of a greeting mixed with a sob—it was hard to tell how he had managed to combine the two: "How was your shopping trip outside?"

Faced with the young emperor's fawning, Wangsun Chuquan didn't even glance at him. With a slight tremor of his leg, the young emperor was sent flying by an invisible force, rolling twice on the ground before his forehead slammed into the floor with a thud.

"Yeah, not bad."

After sending the man flying, Wangsun Chuquan finally responded calmly. Without waiting for the dazed young emperor to react, he pulled Yu Liu's hand and walked away without looking back.

"Uncle..." The young emperor lay on the ground, his voice broken and pitiful, trying to evoke sympathy from Wangsun Chuquan: "...My head is so dizzy...I wonder if I hurt myself...Waaah...Uncle, I'm injured, I need to rest...I won't bother you any longer, I'll come to your residence to catch up after I've recovered..."

He opened his mouth wide, pretended to be dizzy and rolled his eyes. Seeing that Wangsun Chuquan didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, he was secretly delighted. He used his hands to support himself and stood up unsteadily. Seeing that no one stopped him, he was even happier and took a step to leave the Regent's Palace.

"Uncle... I'll be leaving now... I'll come see you another day..." He waved his hand behind him without turning his head, clearly intending to leave like this.

"Halt." Wang Sun Chu Quan ordered two chairs to be brought over and settled Yu Liu in them. He then sat down next to Yu Liu, their hands clasped tightly together. "Come back and stand still."

Wang Sun Chu Quan's voice remained calm, without any hint of force, but the young emperor abruptly stopped in his tracks, a sheepish smile on his face. He stopped pretending to be stupid, quietly moved back, and finally stood still reluctantly.

After being led to the Regent's Palace by the thin guard, the young emperor understood everything. Hearing from the servants that the prince had gone out that day, he inwardly lamented his bad luck. He had finally managed to use his uncle's fame to his advantage, only to run into the very person he was looking for. Was there any emperor more unlucky than him? No! Now, it was clear they were going to settle scores with him. The young emperor felt bitter, but dared not resist.

"Uncle, please let me explain!" He tried to make a nonchalant attempt to explain.

But the result was unexpected...

"Fine, then give me an explanation."

Huh?! What's going on? The Imperial Uncle agreed? But he just said that offhand! Now that he's been caught red-handed, what explanation is there? No matter what reason he comes up with, it's useless. He's already pretending, so any excuse he makes will seem far-fetched!

But this opportunity to explain was so hard to come by, it didn't seem right to just let it slip away...

The young emperor was caught in a dilemma.

He was quite a funny person; his inner thoughts were often written all over his face. Like now, his face was all scrunched up like a wrinkled bun, looking incredibly comical. Even Wangsun Chuquan had to admit that this trait played a large part in his initial choice of the young emperor to sit on that supreme throne. After all, Wangsun Chuquan was rather bored back then, and the young emperor was a great source of amusement.

This little emperor, who wants to get rid of himself but can't, pretends to be nice to himself every day, smiles at himself but curses in his heart, and expresses both of these emotions on his face, is really funny.

"What, haven't you figured out how to explain this yet?"

Having enjoyed the young emperor's expressions for a while, Wangsun Chuquan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Uh……"

The young emperor lowered his head awkwardly. Even if he wanted to explain, he didn't know how. Making up an explanation wouldn't be convincing at all!

"So, it seems you're planning to admit to everything you've done?"

Wangsun Chuquan asked again in a calm tone, and the young emperor trembled with fear upon hearing this.

"This...this..." He was a little anxious, his eyes darting around as he considered how to say it.

"I was just... bewitched!"

He suddenly had an idea: "Yes, I was... like I was being controlled, that's why this happened. I didn't do it on purpose, this, this isn't what I wanted to do!"

The young emperor tried his best to appear calm, repeatedly telling himself not to show any fear. After all, his uncle would at most beat him up, but wouldn't take his life. As long as he refused to admit it, things should be better... right?

"Bewitched by a demon?" Wang Sun Chu Quan sneered. "But why did you seem to be enjoying it back then?"

"Uh, well, that's just your imagination, Uncle."

The thought of being adored by thousands filled the young emperor with envy, and he became addicted to it, wanting to experience it a second time after having enjoyed it once.

"An illusion?" A slightly mocking voice rang in his ears. The little emperor, who had been looking down, shrank his shoulders, looking utterly timid. "Do you think I would have such an illusion?"

The young emperor opened his mouth, but dared not answer. If he answered yes, wouldn't that be tantamount to directly angering his uncle? But if he answered no, it would mean that he had lied before. He simply couldn't answer this question.

"Hmm? Why aren't you answering?"

The tone was still calm and indifferent. The young emperor shuddered, his whole body trembling with fear. He tried to shrink himself down so that Wangsun Chuquan could not see him: "Probably... no."

"In that case, is there anything you want to tell me?"

His appearance amused Wangsun Chuquan, who chuckled softly. It was a melodious sound that Yu Liu found almost too sweet to hear, but the young emperor shrank even smaller.

"Tell me...tell me..."

After hesitating for a while, the young emperor realized he couldn't get away with it, so he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, closed his eyes, and charged forward.

"Uncle, I was wrong!!!"

Judging by the distance, he lunged forward, closed his eyes, and groped for the body he could reach with his arm. Not caring whose it was, he pressed his whole body against the thigh he touched, crying and shouting, "I was wrong!"

"I was wrong, I was so wrong!!! I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed, I should have resisted the temptation! Uncle, please forgive me, I promise I won't do it again!!"
