Prince Jing never dared to drink the tea in his hand and put the cup on the table with a start, "Alright, just speak up if you've got something to say, drop the act!"
Ye Jiu now looked at him with a gaze as if a fly had spotted dung, making one's heart flutter with unease.
Ah spit, Prince Jing thought his mind had gone funny.
That was precisely the response he wanted.
Ye Jiu immediately put down the teapot and sat next to Prince Jing, turning the stool so that he was facing him directly, and said with a flattering smile, "Indeed, there's a small matter for which I'd like to ask for Prince Jing's help."
Phew!
Only then did Prince Jing feel a sense of relief in his heart.
He picked up the cup from the table and took a sip, asking, "Go on then, our fates are intertwined, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll help."
