Villain, Please Go Easy On Me (English Translation)

39. Ancient Times: Showing Weak so Reasonably

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

After racking his brains, Su Bei found a thing called dark guard from the corner.
He tried to shout, “Come out.”
A dark figure knelt down in front of Su Bei. “What can I do for you, Your Majesty?”

Su Bei commanded, “You check out who ever got close to the imperial study recently for me.”
The dark guard said, “Your Majesty, I am the dark guard, only responsible for protecting Your Majesty’s safety.”
The implication was that he didn’t do investigations or something like that.
Su Bei felt toothache. Why even a dark guard didn’t listen to his order, “Who do you think I can give order to except you?”
‘I’ve never seen such a miserable emperor,’ he thought in his heart.
Su Bei waved his hand. “Go and check it.”
The dark guard did not move. “How to secure your safety, Your Majesty?”
Su Bei thought for a moment, his safety seemed to have to consider, it seemed also a dangerous thing as an emperor.
He coughed. “Check it out. I’ll go to the regent. With him around, I will be safe.”
The dark guard did not know this emperor was truly silly or pretending it. The regent was the one who wanted to kill him most!
Forget it, he was only a dark guard, who shouldn’t care so much. All he should do was obey the orders.
After the dark guard left, Su Bei changed clothes and went out of the palace for the Prince Regent’s mansion.
When he arrived, only the housekeeper came to welcome him, really miserable.
And Mu Qinghan seemed to be punishing a traitor.
Mu Qinghan was sitting in a chair, shallow smile, making people feel cold. As he saw Su Bei, he didn’t even greet him.
Su Bei also didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down to Mu Qinghan’s side, asking, “Are you punishing the servant?”
Mu Qinghan slightly opened his mouth, squeezed out four words through his teeth, “Skin him.”
While saying that, he glanced at Su Bei’s expression. Looking so calm! Nothing else!
The corners of his mouth curved deeper. “Right here.”
Su Bei’s expression, though still unchanged, was visibly shaken.
Mu Qinghan was very satisfied with Su Bei’s reaction, smiling, “Your Majesty, what brings you here?”
Su Bei said reasonably, “Seeking for shelter. My dark guard has gone out on a mission. Nobody can protect me. The only one I can think of is you.”
Mu Qinghan sneered, “I thought you know that I would rather let you feel to die is better than to live.”
Su Bei shrugged his shoulders. “It’s better to be alive than dead, anyway.”
Mu Qinghan deeply looked at Su Bei, saying nothing.
The man who was being skinned screamed on and on. Su Bei clenched his hands and dared not look at the scene at all.
Unluckily Mu Qinghan asked intentionally, “Do you have any instructions about my punishment, Your Majesty?”

Su Bei said, “No.”
Mu Qinghan leaned close to Su Bei, saying with an evil tone, “Your Majesty, how do you know if you have no suggestion without even looking at it? Or is it possible Your Majesty is afraid?”
Su Bei cast a glace as fast as he could, mouth open, vomited. Mu Qinghan’s face turned green.
God knows how much patience he used not to strangle Su Bei.
Su Bei who just vomited said preemptively, “You knew that I dare not look at it but asked me to. Don’t blame me then.”
Mu Qinghan asked with a fake smile, “So you are blaming me?”
How did he never know that His Majesty could show weak so reasonably?
Su Bei did not compromise, “You said that, so you can only blame oneself. I have no objections.”
Mu Qinghan did not pick up his words. He would like to see what His Majesty was cooking this time.
When someone was performing abnormal, it should be fishy, right?
As the shrieking sound gradually weakened down, Mu Qinghan said, “So boring.” He got up and left.
