Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 183



183 THE ONE BEHIND ALL OF THIS

No, it wasn’t him who had shamelessly had sex with several men without closing the door in the past. It was the real Bai Chen in this world who dared to do such a thing, and that shameless behavior even caused someone to compose a song and spread it across Dong Lang and Wu Li.

The real Bai Chen in this world had become the gay Werewolf Prince who was famous for his outrageous behavior, and now when he had the identity of Bai Chen, he had to bear the responsibility as the dirty gay Prince.

So, Bai Chen asked Zhu Ge such a question, and he couldn’t even blink his eyes for a moment when he was finally able to connect the dots in his head. It was Zhu Ge who flicked his forehead gently to remind him to blink his eyes, and the pair of blue eyes finally fluttered beautifully.

“Yes, that’s the relationship between the song about you and the fish that I threw into the pond,” Zhu Ge confidently answered the question as if he was sure of his opinion.

“You can be sure about the relationship between the song and the fish, but what about the relationship between this matter and Ma Qiao?” Bai Chen asked another question.

This time, Zhu Ge did not give a direct answer, and Bai Chen assumed that the man was trying to put together the words to answer his question.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Ge sighed before opening his mouth to speak again, “As I said before, the person who cooked the fish must be one of the palace cooks in the kitchen, and we both know who is responsible for every food that’s cooked by the cooks, right? Even the menu of your meals is selected by that person.”

Zhu Ge didn’t mention a name, but Bai Chen could understand the meaning behind the subtle statement.

It could be said that Ma Qiao was the most senior servant in Bai Chen’s palace, and it could also be said that he was the head servant there. Apart from being Bai Chen’s personal attendant, the old man was also in charge of internal affairs within the palace, and the affairs in the kitchen were no exception.

.....

Zhu Ge was right when he indirectly said that Ma Qiao was coordinating the cooks in the kitchen, and even if the man in red didn’t say it clearly, Bai Chen could immediately understand the meaning behind the man’s words.

“So, you’re assuming that Ma Qiao was the one who ordered the palace cook to combine cinnamon with red ginseng? You think Ma Qiao wanted to see me lose my mind and do that terrible thing in front of other people?” Bai Chen finally voiced his curiosity after he managed to bind all the crumbs together.

“That’s possible,” Zhu Ge replied calmly. “As I said before, before I even found out about the fish, I was already suspicious of your old servant, and that’s why I quickly concluded that your old servant might be the one behind the fish.”

Zhu Ge was actually a realistic person, and it was unlikely that he would blindly suspect others without having enough evidence. However, Bai Chen also didn’t want to immediately believe the man’s words because there was only verbal evidence and no stronger valid proof.

“But it’s also possible if the palace cook who did that to the fish works for someone else and not Ma Qiao, right?” Bai Chen tried to voice his disapproval as he continued to stare at the taller man.

“That is indeed possible, but you do know that as the head servant in the palace, Ma Qiao needs to taste the food first before giving it to you, right? The head servant needs to make sure that the food is safe for you, and that’s why he needs to taste the food before letting you eat it,” Zhu Ge also voiced his opinion, and Bai Chen was silent this time.

Ever since he transmigrated to this world and became the Imperial Prince of the Dong Lang Empire, he had only immediately eaten the food served to him without thinking about the procedures that took place on the food before it finally arrived at the table in front of him.

He had no idea that his servant would even need to do such a thing to his food, and that was why he secretly admitted that Zhu Ge was right in his opinion. After all, Zhu Ge did have a strong analysis of the situation, and that was why he couldn’t argue this time.

‘If Ma Qiao did his job properly, then he should have tasted the fish before giving it to me, right? Even if he can’t smell the red ginseng on it, he will probably feel the taste of the ginseng because he’s a pure-blood werewolf unlike me who’s only half-werewolf. He should have noticed the oddity, and he shouldn’t have let me eat the food,’ Bai Chen carefully considered in his heart.

He secretly recalled the memory, and he remembered how Ma Qiao was angry when Zhu Ge suddenly threw the fish into the pond. Ma Qiao insisted that food was his favorite food, and that was why it was normal for him to eat fish instead of meat.

‘Fish is indeed my favorite food, and maybe the real Bai Chen in this world also likes to eat it. Maybe that’s the reason why the palace cook chose to put the cinnamon and red ginseng in the fish over other foods?’ Bai Chen once again managed to come to a conclusion in his head as he carefully analyzed the situation.

“I wouldn’t say that it was all your servant’s plan,” Zhu Ge spoke again as Bai Chen remained silent in front of him. “Perhaps your servant works for someone else, and that person may bribe your servant with something until your servant agrees to betray you. As you said earlier, your servant has been with you since you were a child, but he suddenly worked for someone else to betray you. I suspect your brother is the one behind all of this.”
