Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 97: Back to the Palace

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The moment that the group of people stepped into the palace, Ke Ruan saw someone running towards him from afar.

Slowly, he noticed that his mother’s face was pale and the dark circles under her eyes were particularly obvious.

Ke Ruan was slightly stunned, his footsteps quickened unconsciously, and he felt a bit wronged.

“Ruanruan, my Ruanruan,” Ruan Qingtian’s eyes were red. She wanted to reach out to hug her son, but thinking about the situation now, she just touched his face.

“My child, you’re thinner.”

“Mother, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

As soon as Ke Ruan said this, tears flowed out from Ruan Qingtian’s eyes. His lovely wife cried, so Ke Zhan hurriedly walked forward to hug her, “The kid is fine. Don’t cry.”

Ruan Qingtian tried her best to suppress her sob. She nearly couldn’t have her son back.

Ke Zhan looked at his son with appreciation.

Ke Ruan knelt down respectfully. “Emperor Father, mother, your son has fulfilled your expectation.”

“Good, good! Stand up.” Ke Zhan nodded uncontrollably.

At last, his son had made such a great achievement. He already knew about the things in Qiao Mountain.

Ke Zhan’s smiling eyes fell behind Ke Ruan. Ke Ruan’s heart tightened but there was no abnormality shown on his face.

“Emperor Father, this is Muqing, who was forced by Yuliang County to go up the Qiao mountain. I intended to recruit this virtuous man, so it took me a lot of efforts to invite him to come here.”

Qi Cheng lowered his head and knelt down. “I’m willing to serve the crown prince.”

From beginning to end, he didn’t look up at Ke Zhan. He was afraid that he couldn’t help but go forward to kill this man.

Ke Zhan nodded, with his eyes probing, “That’s great. Let me think about what position should I give this virtuous man?”

“I don’t want to be a government official. I’ll be honored if I could just protect the crown prince.”

“Alright, if you have made some achievement, I will naturally give you the reward that you deserve.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Seeing that he didn’t think too much, Ke Ruan could not help but feel relieved.

“Didn’t we send all the hostages back?” Ke Zhan squinted at Si Yuhan.

“Emperor Father, I really get along with Si Yuhan. There is no one in the court who is similar in age with me. I just want him to stay and accompany me.”

“What are you saying?” Ke Zhan said sternly.

Ke Ruan’s heart was lifted.

“You can find your peers easily in Red Flame Country. All the other hostages have been sent back. How would the others think if you just keep this one?”

“Emperor Father, I just…”

“Alright, the kid just wants to keep a playmate. What’s wrong with that? Can’t you think of a way?” Seeing that his wife was annoyed, Ke Zhan dared not to say anything else.

Ke Ruan felt relieved. His Emperor Father was definitely a henpecked husband in modern times.

Ke Zhan naturally wanted his son to be better than the prime minister. So he was glad to see that more people were supporting Ke Ruan. Because of that, Qi Cheng’s crew successfully stayed with Ke Ruan.

Now that he got so many people watching, he could not be lazy anymore.

He couldn’t let the male lead go back to the original house. So he had someone clean a side hall and let Si Yuhan live not so far away. In this way, it was convenient to get close and make Si Yuhan like him.

As for the teacher, there was no other teacher better than Lin Qingye. Teaching two students was not so different from teaching only one. And Lin Qingye should be very happy to have a talented student like the male lead.

Therefore, he simply did not discuss with Si Yuhan and Lin Qingye and just decided for them.
