RECAP

That was the incident that led to the present situation that Jiang arrived to, Jiang said as he stepped through his courtyard doors with Han Sheng following behind, by the time Jiang entered his bed chambers he was once again met with another big surprise.

Jiang whole bed chamber was full to the extent that there was no space left to walk properly, he and Han Sheng had to tip toe in other to be able to get to the area where his bed was situated which by the way was the only part of his room devoid of any of those trousseau chests like things.

Jiang looked towards the entrance of his bedchambers and more of those stuffs was still been carried in and piled up on those that were already present in his bedchamber, he couldn't take it anymore so he had to give out an order

"Yes, empress elect" the men replied and then swiftly began doing as they were told.

Jiang didn't let them take away the items that they had already placed in his room because he was curious about the content within them so once he was alone, Jiang excitedly uttered Jiang pointed at the one closest to him and Han Sheng immediately did as he was told to.

After a good while of trying to open a number of those chests while sweating bullets, Han Sheng looked at Jiang dejectedly and complained he then wiped off the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead.

Jiang queried Han Sheng

"But why, Big sis... brother is a girl" Han Sheng sighed deeply, he wondered why his master is so eccentric, he couldn't understand why a girl will want to be referred to as a boy.

after saying his piece of mind, Jiang decided to try opening the trousseau chests himself since Han Sheng found it difficult to do so, Jiang summed up Han Sheng failure as the result of him been too weak however Jiang soon found out that his own result was no different from Han Sheng.

It was at this time that Jiang noticed the presence of the person standing at his still ajar bedchamber door Jiang looked intently at Lu Han as he continued speaking "Why won't this trousseau chest open for me, how do I see what is inside if I can't even open it" Jiang then tried pulling up what seem to be the cover of the trousseau chest so that Lu Han could see for himself how difficult it was.

Jiang shyly uttered, he felt stupid for not thinking of this solution, anyway he didn't want to waste anymore time so he started customizing the trousseau chest which beamed red as his blood dripped on it, a lock that was like one of those placed on safety box appeared at the center of the trousseau chest.

Lu Han instructed as he saw the lock appear.

Lu Han was trying to paint a favorable picture of the emperor before Jiang, this was also one of the emperor's orders before he left he had ordered Lu Han like this for his master and his reward Lu Han would not let this opportunity pass him by meanwhile Jiang was caught of guard with what Lu Han had just said so he blushed slightly and felt a tiny bit embarrassed, his heart beat seem to have also become abnormal in the moment Lu Han spoke of the emperor, Jiang appreciated the fact that with ice jewel no one could see his expressions.

When Jiang eventually got his bearing he said Jiang had wanted to proceed but then he realized that Lu Han had not left yet but had instead shifted his gaze to Han Sheng who was at Jiang's side, Jiang noticed that Han Sheng was frowning but refused to look at Lu Han while doing so, this will be Jiang's second time seeing the two of them act so out of character, even Lu Han always sharp eyes had soften a bit as he gazed at Han Sheng, Jiang was determined to find out what was behind this but first of all Lu Han had to leave so that he could grill it out of this easy target beside him.

Jiang acted like he saw nothing as he spoke with Lu Han again

Jiang nodded as a response and Lu Han with one last glance at Han Sheng then took his leave.

Once Lu Han was gone Jiang moved to open the trousseau chest closest to him, as he worked on inputting the passwords he uttered some words to Han Sheng who stood behind him presently Jiang tilted his head backwards in other to see Han Sheng reaction to his question and lo and behold he saw his little eunuch's blushing cheeks.

Jiang excitedly exclaimed, he even left what he was doing and went to grab Han Sheng's right arm

Han Sheng cheekily uttered, they were alone and Jiang had told him not to be formal with him so that was what he was doing now even though he addressed Jiang by his title, Han Sheng playful and not so formal intent was clear for everyone to see.

On seeing that Jiang wasn't going to spare him unless he talks, Han Sheng had no choice but to explain things to him.

With a pained face, Han Sheng began to tell his supposed heart breaking tale to Jiang, it went like this, two days before Jiang's return to his dwelling place the fairy tale mansion, at night when out of habit Han Sheng decided to take a stroll around he suddenly heard a shuffling noise behind one of the flower trees that were clustered together at a particular area in the fairy tale palace, not only that he also saw a shadowy figure, Han Sheng for some time now have been feeling like an intruder had breached fairy tale palace defense because this wasn't the first time he have experienced something like this, it's just that previously he acted rashly which made his efforts not to bear results and the intruder was never caught, although he doesn't know what the intruder wants, especially since after an extended period of time he hadn't attacked them but perhaps he was only bidding his time and waiting for the return of the empress elect, Han Sheng didn't want the only person he cherishes to be put in any kind of danger so this time around Han Sheng decided to play dumb and not act on impulse, he was determined to catch this evil person lurking in the dark for his master's sake, for the empress elect.

After making that determination Han Sheng pretended to be casually walking by that particular area however once he was beside those bunch of tightly clustered flower trees, he threw himself at them and then shouted "Got you" what Han Sheng didn't expect was that he did end up lip smacking the evil intruder which turned out to be no other person but Lu Han and the most annoying thing was that Lu Han didn't let go of him immediately even after Han Sheng asked him to, also since that day Lu Han will come and meet him from time to time, asking Han Sheng to take responsibility for him because he stole his first kiss and chastity.

Han Sheng whole being was now fuming, his cheeks even looked like a blown balloon, just thinking about Lu Han always made him so mad.

If Han Sheng knew that the only reason that he was able to see the shadowy figure of Lu Han was because he was purposely let to see it, he did probably explode from anger, Lu Han was a darkness elemental so if he really wants to hide then there is no way that someone of Han Sheng's caliber will find him, Han Sheng was like a rat lure by cheese into a trap perfectly orchestrated for him.

In between chuckles Jiang said the following words Jiang said as he thought of a certain shameless person whose shamelessness made Lu Han's own pale by far in comparison.
