Chapter 917: The Unlearned Young Master 18
Yun Yi didn’t know what Luo Xuan and Rong Sheng had talked about in the pavilion that day.
On the second day of the polo match, Luo Xuan had all the documents needed by the bookstore delivered to him, and even introduced him to some printing factory owners.
Yun Yi handed the unique copy he had copied to the bosses, who printed a copy as a sample first to see the effect before deciding whether to print it in large quantities.
If I want to take the only copy at home and print it, I must tell Yun Wen about it.
Yun Wen originally disagreed. After all, he wanted Yun Yi to take the imperial examination and pursue a career in officialdom. How would it look for him to open a bookstore and become a businessman?
But when he heard that Princess Luo Xuan also had invested in the bookstore, he thought for a moment and agreed.
What the royal princesses do can’t be wrong.
Three days later, the owner of the printing factory sent the printed samples to the Yun family one after another. After comparing the quality and price, the Yun family chose a company with the best cost-effectiveness for large-scale printing.
Half a month later, the bookstore was renovated and the printed rare works were put on the shelves, so that the bookstore had a good appearance.
The name of the bookstore is 'Luobai Bookstore'. Yun Yi came up with the name, Luo Xuan wrote it herself and had it framed.
Everything is ready, all you need to do is find an auspicious day to open the business.
The bookstore only sells rare books that are not available in other bookstores, and does not sell books that are already available in other bookstores. The goal is to create differentiated branding.
Luo Xuan had no objection to this, and even took out many rare copies from the palace and sent them for printing.
Rong Sheng saw the two people busy and happy.
These days, she and Luo Xuan always quarreled, and he thought the problem lay with Yun Yi.
Before the polo match, although Luo Xuan would sometimes lose her temper, she never argued excessively.
But last night, Luo Xuan even had someone stop him outside the door, saying that she had a lot of things to do for the bookstore opening today, so she needed to have a good rest at night.
He rode his horse to the villa outside the city and saw Yuchi Hong lying on the bed, dying.
"How much time does he have left?" Rong Sheng asked.
"If we can't find the prescription for the medicine he was given, I'm afraid he won't last more than ten days," said the doctor.
Ten days.
Rong Sheng closed his eyes and waved his hand to let the doctor leave.
"You heard it too. There are less than ten days left. Do you have any last words?"
Yuchi Hong slowly opened his eyes, which had lost much of their spirit and his words were weak and frail.
"If you don't save me, you will never... ever know where the treasure of Yue State is in your life."
Yuchi Hong doesn't want to die.
After his mother died, he was thrown into the cold palace to fend for himself, and he escaped countless conspiracies and plots.
He was unwilling to die like this after being tricked by Yun Yi one day.
So he wanted to exchange the location of Yue Kingdom's treasure for a chance to survive.
But Rong Sheng was too incompetent and couldn't even find Yun Yi to save him.
He was unwilling to let himself die like this.
He wants to live, not die.
"Do you believe it or not, I can shut you up forever right now?"
Rong Sheng's eyes were cold, and he reached out to touch Yuchi Hong's neck, as if Yuchi Hong would die immediately if he exerted a little force.
But Yuchi Hong seemed to feel nothing and closed his eyes without any panic.
His face was pale and bloodless, as if he had stopped breathing.
Rong Sheng didn't take any ruthless action in the end. The treasure of Yue State that Yuchi Hong mentioned was too tempting for him.
With the treasure of Yue Kingdom, he can do a lot of things.

When the bookstore opened, Yun Yi planned a series of opening activities in advance, coupled with Luo Xuan's fame as a princess.
Many customers came on the first day of opening. Although the sales volume was not high, their name "Luobai Bookstore" was well known.
After closing the shop at night, Yun Yi was still in high spirits, while Luo Xuan and the other guys in the shop were too tired to move.
Lu'er helped Luo Xuan onto the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove away.
Yun Yi turned around and went back to the shop, gave red envelopes to the shopkeeper and the employees, and told them that they would need to be more attentive when dealing with customers in the future.
"Boss, do you want me to send someone to take you back? Why don't you bring a servant with you when you go out?" Shopkeeper Liu looked at the sky outside, which seemed to be going to rain, and asked with some concern.
"No need, I can walk home in a quarter of an hour." Yun Yi waved his hand and refused.
The bookstore was not far from the Yun residence. If he used his lightness skills, he could reach home in a short time. Having a servant follow him would only be a hindrance.
But today, as soon as Yun Yi walked out of the bookstore, he keenly noticed that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
So he didn't use any lightness skills, but walked towards home slowly and steadily.
The sky was gloomy and a heavy rain would soon fall, so everyone on the street rushed home.
People were in a hurry and no one cared about what other people were doing on the street, for they were afraid that if they walked too slowly, they would be drenched by the heavy rain.
"Boom..."
Accompanied by a loud thunder, heavy rain poured down.
There was only one street left to reach the Yun family, so Yun Yi quickened his pace.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the rain in front and blocked Yun Yi's way.
The visitor clasped his fists and said, "The Crown Prince wants to discuss something with Master Yun. Please come with me to see the Crown Prince."
"Prince? Rong Sheng?"
"I'm not going. I want to go home. Get out of the way."
As Yun Yi spoke, he was about to pass the person and continue forward, but just as he passed that person, his arm was suddenly grabbed, and then a knife-like hand came down on the back of his neck.
The man hugged Yun Yi and leaped a few times before disappearing into the rain.
Rude, so rude.
When Yuchi Hong wanted to kidnap Yun Zhi, he knew to use smoke first. But this guy just used his hand knife directly. It was so rude and disrespectful.
In the villa outside Beijing, when Yun Yi opened his eyes again, what he saw was Rong Sheng's expressionless face.
"You kidnapped me by force, so why are you doing the same banditry as Yuchi Hong?" Yun Yi asked angrily with a frown.
Rong Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he ignored his question and said directly: "Save Yuchi Hong's life, the conditions are up to you."
"Heh." Yun Yi chuckled. "Didn't you say before that it was His Majesty who asked me to save Yuchi Hong? Bring me the imperial edict. With an imperial edict, I naturally wouldn't dare disobey."
"There is no imperial decree."
This time, Rong Sheng actually told the truth, "Whether Yuchi Hong is dead or alive is no longer important to Your Majesty."
"Oh? If Yuchi Hong's life or death is not important to Your Majesty, then it must be important to you."
Yun Yi sneered, "Then tell me why you must save Yuchi Hong. Tell me the truth, and maybe I will show mercy and save him."
Rong Sheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm as if he had made some kind of resolution, and he said:
"Because he is my aunt's son."
Aunt's son?
Rong Sheng’s aunt is Prince Xiao’s sister.
King Xiao was crowned king for his military achievements more than 20 years ago. However, no one has ever heard that he has any sisters, let alone any relationship between King Xiao and the Yue royal family.
