Chapter 123 - ACTING AS GOOD AS A MOVIE EMPEROR (2/2)

Duan Yu on the side looked at all these.  And he just couldn't help but admire this little guy's ability to act.  He just went from weak to pitiful to brave in a matter of seconds.  He didn't even have qualms referring to himself as 'slave'.  He could even cry on cue!  Seriously, if this guy entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely give those veteran actors a run for their money.  In this regard, he was certainly a level higher than Liuli.  If she could only act like this, she would probably already be 1st line artist.

Duan Yu could see how marketable this guy would be in that industry.  Add that to his looks and he would definitely be red in no time.  Maybe he could even be a movie emperor after just two to three years.  Now Duan Yu wondered why he's playing a game instead of utilizing his talent.

He cleared his throat.  ”Your Highness, I hate to interrupt, but as much as I don't want to agree, this woman here has a point.  The poison slathered on the dagger that she intercepted was deadly.  Without skills such as mine, she would most likely be dead by now.  Considering how the only one who knew my identity was Your Highness, I doubt she would put herself in harm's way just so she wouldn't appear suspicious.  But of course, that was only plausible if she really was innocent and had nothing to do with what happened.”

Luo Yan gave Uriel a quick sideway glance before taking back his gaze.  This guy.  Was it really necessary to say that last part?

The crown prince seemed to be thinking about something.  Then he looked back at Luo Yan.  ”Then this prince gives you the right to investigate your fellow courtesans.  But if this prince finds out that you're lying, your head will dangle on the gates of this town.”

Luo Yan acted scared but still tried to be brave.  ”Yes, this slave thanks Your Highness.”

The crown prince then turned to Duan Yu.  ”This prince needs to talk to you about the poison.”

”Sure, Your Highness.  But I still need to finish fixing this woman here.”

”Then after.”

After that, the crown prince went out of the room.  He walked a few steps before stopping.  ”Di Yi,” he called.

Shen Ji Yun quickly appeared, kneeling in front of the crown prince.  ”Your Highness.”

”Monitor that courtesan's every move.  If she does something suspicious, you're allowed to kill her.”

”Yes, Your Highness.”

Then the crown prince walked away while Shen Ji Yun went back to the room.
