Chapter 200 The Shield for Being Caught in the Crossfire of the Imperial Examination (4)

"Don't force me to kill you," the male protagonist said in a sinister tone.

"Who is your lover?" The princess looked at Xu Fu with an unwavering expression.

"Ah, well, it's a long story—" Xu Fu began slowly, deliberately keeping the matter a secret.

"Then cut to the chase," the male protagonist replied quietly.

He then glanced at the eldest princess, his expression clearly indicating his intention to kill her to silence her.

"Why should I tell you?!" Xu Fu said smugly, looking at the other party defiantly.

Then he shifted his gaze to the eldest princess, "Why should I tell you?!"

"Now it's you, you who need my help—"

"If you dare to kill me or imprison me, my lover will be out of contact for a long time."

"If we can't find the person, we will definitely beat the petition drum."

"You'll be scared then~" Xu Fu's eyes lingered on the two male protagonists, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You think I haven't investigated you?!" The princess retorted confidently.

"I know you have no one behind you, and this is my territory—"

"If someone wants to rescue you, you'd better think twice."

"It doesn't matter!" Xu Fu shrugged. "As long as I don't die."

"You are all filthy," Xu Fu said, then casually lay back down.

"How dare you!" The male protagonist was furious, raising his voice by two decibels.

"Who is your lover?!" the princess asked in a serious tone.

"Oh, you two are supposed to be all-powerful, yet you couldn't find this out?!" Xu Fu laughed even more smugly.

"While I can still speak properly, I advise you to be sensible—"

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, her tone slightly impatient.

"I need money to redeem the top courtesan from her servitude—"

Xu Fu replied honestly and politely.

"Nonsense! I haven't noticed you having any close contact with any courtesan from any brothel!"

"And," the male protagonist looked Xu Fu up and down with disdain, "do you even have two coins in your pocket?"

"You think you can even frequent brothels?!"

The male protagonist scoffed dismissively, thinking that Xu Fu was spouting complete lies.

“Did I say she was a courtesan? Couldn’t she be a male prostitute?!” Xu Fu immediately retorted.

"You, you—" The male protagonist was so shocked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"So you like men?!" The princess stared intently at Xu Fu.

They planned to observe the other party's expression to verify whether Xu Fu's words were true or false...

"Give me 20, then let me go back and redeem myself—" Xu Fu snorted lightly.

"Wait until I've made proper arrangements for everyone—"

“Being a prince consort isn’t out of the question,” Xu Fu said with righteous indignation and seriousness.

"5 taels of silver, and I can arrange a proper identity for you—"

After thinking for a while, the eldest princess finally revealed her plan.

"5 taels is too little, not worth it—" Xu Fu shook his head and refused before the other party could finish speaking.

Putting aside whether he had a lover or not, just consider the rest of his life—

That reward of 5 taels is far too little!

"Don't push your luck!" the male protagonist said angrily.

"Don't act innocent after getting the benefit—" Xu Fu immediately retorted.

Xu Fu had no time to pay attention to the male protagonist anymore. He turned to the princess and quickly said...

"I've already stated the conditions; whether you're willing to accept them or not is up to you."

"Anyway, I'm not going to die anytime soon—"

Xu Fu lay back down, immediately closed his eyes, and looked completely at ease.

If he had some melon seeds, Xu Fu would have liked to eat them.

Then enjoy the ever-changing expressions of the male protagonist and the princess.

"Let's go back and think about it—" The eldest princess remained silent for a long time.

In the end, they made up their minds to delay for a while.

"Don't keep me waiting too long, I'm afraid my sweetheart won't be able to wait."

"When the time comes, once the petition drum is sounded, I'm afraid the whole world will know about your good deed."

Xu Fu opened his eyes, watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, and shouted loudly.

The princess turned around, gave Xu Fu a cold look, and then pulled the male protagonist away.

"Oh dear, I'm a little hungry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself from eating—"

"Oh dear, I crave a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, otherwise my mind won't be clear."

"When I'm unhappy, I don't know what I should say and what I shouldn't say."

Xu Fu shouted a few words, then lay flat on the spot.

About three hours later, before dinner, Xu Fu was respectfully carried back to his room.

It wasn't his original room, but the courtyard next door that was more than three times better.

A table full of food had been prepared for him in the room.

Furthermore, hot water is already prepared, and there is more than one set of clothes to change into.

The bed was covered with a set of silk brocade quilts.

"My lord, would you like me to help you with your washing and meals?"

A pretty young maidservant looked at Xu Fu with a charming gaze.

"Get out, all of you," Xu Fu replied coldly.

After the door was closed, Xu Fu walked towards the sumptuous meal on the table.

However, Xu Fu did not eat it directly, but instead stored the entire table of food into his spatial storage.

Xu Fu pitifully pulled out his lunchbox and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

From that day on, Xu Fu lived a life where he had no worries about food and drink.

Not only were three meals a day delivered on time, but servants also constantly came to inquire about their well-being...

Aside from making one or two small requests regarding the food, Xu Fu mostly remained silent.

Whether it was Granny Qin coming to ask questions, or the Eldest Princess bringing the male lead to inspect the place,

Xu Fu always looked at everyone with an indifferent attitude.

More than half a month passed in a flash, and just as the top two scholars were preparing to return to the capital to report their mission,

The eldest princess approached Xu Fu again, offering "at most 10 taels—"

Xu Fu ignored the other party's lengthy explanation and was only sensitive to numbers.

"20 taels," Xu Fu counted on his fingers, "This isn't just the money to save our lives."

"This is still a reward for the trouble I caused you by covering for us—"

What Xu Fu didn't say was that when the eldest princess became pregnant in the future, he would also claim the title of a nominal father...

For the emotionally fragile Xu Fu, 20 taels was already a friendly price.

"Fine!" The princess gritted her teeth. "I'll give you the money—"

Although the man readily agreed, he couldn't resist Xu Fu's increasingly outrageous demands.

"I only want cash, and I'd also like someone to escort me back—"

Xu Fu looked at the princess with a smile, "With your people protecting my person and property—"

"The journey should be very smooth."

"Fine!" The princess puffed out her cheeks in anger, gritting her teeth as she spat out a single word.

The other person took three heavy breaths, waiting to calm down.

Then he continued, "I hope that after you return, you will obediently enter my princess's residence."

"Behave yourself and be a respectable prince consort."

"Of course." Having received an affirmative reply, Xu Fu naturally agreed with a smile.
