Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

" Well, So if something unexpected happens, I believe His Majesty would come out of the seclusion?"

" I believe so?" Li Qing mumbled. " However, No one can guess the intention of Father. Who knows what's in his mind?"

" But, I don't think he would sit and let a loyal family like the Cai Family face destruction."

" I hope so…" Jia Hao mumbled as he stood up.

" Brother Li, You can take your time and enjoy your dinner here. We shall meet tomorrow at dawn. I shall be waiting for you and Miss Sang at the outskirts of Nanhai mountain."

Li Qing and Zhou Yan saw Jia Hao getting up and walking away.

" It looks like my brother dearest is planning something." Li Qing sipped some Spring Wine.

" But, Jia Hao already got some wind of it."

" I believe so." Zhou Yan spoke in a low voice. " Elder Xu Fan of Heaven Watching Pavilion met Third Prince Li Yuan last month. We can guess that Third Prince Li Yuan is doing something big behind the screens."

" Interesting…if Third Brother does something, we can use this chance to peg him down." Li Qing rubbed his forehead. " Ugh, Father Emperor really gave me a headache."

" I never thought he would partially give the military department to Li Yuan. Thanks to that, we were practically clueless about what he had been doing the past few months."

" Young Lord doesn't need to worry." Zhou Yan replied. " You are currently the Crown Prince and ahead of everyone else. Even if the Third Prince, Seventh Prince and Sixth Prince scheme against you, you can easily suppress them."

" I hope so." Li Qing mumbled. " However, We need to get the Bright Snow Lotus first. I can't let my sister wait, else her illness will relapse."

" Have you prepared everything?"

" Yes, Young Lord. Everything has been prepared for tomorrow's expedition." Zhou Yan bowed.

" That's good."

Taking a big sip of wine, Li Qing felt his body swaying. " I am a bit drunk tonight so…Wake me up tomorrow."

Zhou Yan hurried and caught Li Qing. Holding him, he slowly walked out.

' I hope I can wake you up tomorrow. Because…Even I am feeling drunk somewhat.'

Zhou Yan thought inwardly as he slowly felt the aftereffect of the Spring Wine.

Meanwhile, As Jia Hao returned to the mansion, he couldn't help but start planning for tomorrow's expedition.

" Young Lord, Young Miss is asking you to join dinner with her."

"No need, I am full right now." Jia Hao looked at Minmin and shook his head.

Minmin paused as she didn't say anything. She simply bowed and left.

As Jia Hao was sitting in his room, the door slowly opened. Jia Hao sighed as he looked at Cai Yixue.

She held a plate full of food and set it on the table. " It's not good to sleep empty stomach at night."

" I have eaten outside. I am not feeling hungry." Jia Hao replied lightly.

" Are you still angry with me after what happened today?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao and asked in a subtle voice.

" What do you think, my dear wife?" Jia Hao looked at her.

Cai Yixue looked at him for some time and shook her head. " I believe you are still angry. But there are other troubles in your heart."

" You do have pretty sharp eyes." Jia Hao gave an amused smile. " Unfortunately, You still can't trust me after knowing me, huh?"

" You are already carrying a lot of burdens. I don't want to give you more trouble." Cai Yixue replied.

Jia Hao's lips twitched as he looked at Cai Yixue. ' The women of Yunlan Continent are really troublesome.'

" Anyway, I am going to the Nanhai Mountain with an expedition group. So, I will leave in the early morning."

" What?" Cai Yixue's brows creased when she heard that. " Uncle Yang is coming with you, right?"

" I will take a few guards. But I don't think I will take Old Yang. He has other work to do."

" Th-That…That might be dangerous?" Cai Yixue interjected. " Currently, The Shen Family and the Silkward Chambers are gathering their resources. They might target you, who made them eat such loss."

" Well, I have already secured my safety and I believe they won't be able to touch me.: Jia Hao replied with a mild chuckle.

After all, Zhou Yan is an Innate realm master. With him there, Jia Hao couldn't be bothered by anyone.

" But still…"

" I have already informed you, so think what you like." Jia Hao retorted. " You don't care about my feelings, why should I do about you?"

Saying that, he walked inside. " I am going to sleep."

A part of the reason behind his flippant answer was that he was annoyed by Cai Yixue. However, on the other hand, he actually wanted to irk her.

Cai Yixue's face flinched when she saw Jia Hao going to the bedroom. Biting her lips, she looked at the food.

' Stupid! If you don't want to eat, then go! Sleep hungry!'

She muttered inwardly as she started eating on her own. After finishing her dinner, Minmin came and fetched all the dishes.

The next dawn, Jia Hao woke up with a yawn.

' Ugh, My neck and my face…Why is it so aching?' It's as if…someone pressed something on my face the entire night.' He rubbed his face as he walked out.

Food was already prepared and Jia Hao could see the steam through the covered lids. Cai Yixue sat nearby and studied some scrolls.

Minmin was dusting the bookcase, but she couldn't help but give teaseful glances to Cai Yixue, making her blush.

"Ah, Young Lord, You have woken up." Minmin noticed Jia Hao as she spoke loudly.

" Did you sleep well?"

" Kinda?" Jia Hao mumbled as he rubbed his neck. " I think…Some bug bit me last night. There is a mark on my neck."

" Ah, Must be a mischievous and angry bug…" Minmin replied playfully as she looked at Cai Yixue.

" Huh? What do you mean?" Jia Hao was confused.

" Ahem, Minmin, Aren't you talking too much?" Cai Yixue glared at her. " Go and fetch water for him."

" Aye, Young Miss." Minmin giggled as she walked out.

Jia Hao sat down as he sighed. " You woke up so early and prepared breakfast for me?"

" I can't let you go to the mountain with an empty stomach." Cai Yixue replied.

" Alright…I am sorry for the last night, ok?" Jia Hao rubbed his face as he spoke.

" I just want to be someone you can lean on, feeling safe and relaxed. And, I got angry because you are hiding so many things from me…"

" Is that what you say to all the girls you meet?"

Chuckling at the jab of Cai Yixue, Jia Hao replied, " I do. I am just like that."

After eating breakfast, Jia Hao got ready and walked out. Old Yang lent him a few guards who followed after him.

" Come back safely."

Jia Hao paused as he heard Cai Yixue. Turning around, Jia Hao smiled brightly.

" Don't worry, I will be back soon."
