As soon as Chu Yi came out, he saw the General’s carriage parked at the palace gate. Seeing Yu Lin in the carriage, his expression softened, “Didn’t you say you were going to see Prince Min? Why did you come here?”
“I’ve already seen him.” Yu Lin pulled him into the carriage with a smile, finding a comfortable position in his arms, “Qi Huan has no heirs, how could he tolerate the prince of Prince Min’s family. Prince Min has been physically deteriorating in recent years, fearing that no one would protect his prince after he’s gone, he plans to take action against Qi Hui.”
“He told you this directly?”
“Of course not. He just doesn’t want me to get you involved in the grudges between Prince Min’s mansion and Prince Qi.” Yu Lin picked a crystal clear grape, peeled it completely, and handed it to Chu Yi’s lips, “He has always been at odds with Qi Huan, and dares not protect you openly. He brought a bunch of physicians to check your body back then, just wanting to unify the diagnosis, fearing that Qi Huan would discover your impotence and harm you. But when the results came out, you really were impotent, which made him very anxious.”
He seemed a bit tired explaining the past events he had discovered, stretching lazily and casually hugging Chu Yi’s neck, teasingly said, “Shidi, let your Shixiong see if you are really impotent.”
Chu Yi let him tease, “How do you want to check?”
“Those quack physicians can’t even take a pulse correctly, I see from your pulse, you can do it seven times a night without a problem.” His fingertips slowly slid down from Chu Yi’s lips, over his solid and broad chest, all the way down teasingly, just when they were about to cover that place, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Chu Yi liked him so much that he wanted to satisfy all his requests, including that little bit of lust, but he still resisted the urge to press him down, and pulled him back into his arms, hugged him tightly, and tilted his head to kiss his temple.
Chu Yi’s voice was very hoarse: “Wait a little longer…”
His Shixiong deserved the best treatment, not to be so careless in the carriage, trying to please him like a pet and relieve himself.
Yu Lin encountered this situation every time he flirted with him. He resigned himself to his fate and rested his forehead against Chu Yi’s shoulder. He sighed deeply: “There are so many people who like my appearance and want to sleep with me. Why are you the only one who remains indifferent?”
This made Yu Lin constantly reflect on whether there was something wrong with his attraction to him. He thought about going to Fusheng Pavilion again when he had time and asking the girls there how to seduce a man.
Chu Yi was silent for a while, and after calming down his disordered breath, he slowly spoke: “I’m not Liu Xiahui[], how could I really be indifferent? I just think now is not the right time.”
“I think the atmosphere just now was quite good.” Yu Lin’s tone was filled with unspeakable resentment, “Shidi, being too restrained is not good for your health.” Chu Yi didn’t know how long he had been restraining himself, but he knew that he had been restraining himself for eight years. He couldn’t help but beat his chest in his heart: Eight years! How many eight years can there be in a lifetime? If you are not already sick, you will get sick.
Chu Yi couldn’t persuade him, and reluctantly released his hand: “Then don’t regret it.”
“Whoever goes back on his word is a puppy.” Yu Lin immediately sat up straight, curled his lips, and put his hand on Chu Yi’s thing, “Let Shixiong take good care of you…” Before he finished speaking, Yu Lin felt the changes under his palm, and the smile slowly froze on his face.
Why is it so big!
If this really goes in, will it split me in half?
Chu Yi suddenly pressed down his hand that was about to retreat, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: “You said you won’t regret it, Shixiong.”
Let alone calling him Shixiong, even calling him Gege[] is useless now. Yu Lin was determined to take his hand back, but he couldn’t get it free.
“Gege…” Chu Yi knew he would fall for it, so he called out again, “You said you would love me, whoever goes back on his word is a puppy.”
Yu Lin blinked, looked at him innocently, and gently uttered a word: “Woof.”
Chu Yi: …
Chu Yi was almost laughing out of anger. He was the one who provoked, but he was also the one who backed off when it came to doing something.
If you start a fire yourself, you have to put it out yourself even if you have to kneel down.
When Yu Lin finally got out of the carriage with a red face, his hands and mouth were sore. Chu Yi, who came out later, could not hide his satisfaction.
Xiao Mianzhi showed an expression that he couldn’t bear to look directly at, but he couldn’t help but gossiping: “Is it done?”
Chu Yi shook his head, straightened his loose belt, and talked to him about business: “The capital may not be peaceful for a while, I plan to take Qinglan out for a walk. You should go back to the barracks. No matter who asks you to borrow soldiers, as long as they don’t have my tiger talisman, ignore them.”
He didn’t like to take sides, and he didn’t care what happened between Prince Min and Prince Qi. As long as he left Luoyang, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him or the General’s Office. Even if Yu Lin got involved on a whim, as long as he didn’t leave any evidence, he could use leaving Beijing as an excuse.
“Where are you going?”
“Yunmeng Ze.” Chu Yi said solemnly.
The King of Yu Country traded Yu Lin to Qi Huan as an item to ensure his own safety. According to Yu Lin’s clear character of gratitude and grudges, beating him up was considered a light punishment. If Chu Yi guessed correctly, Yu Lin should have broken up with his brother Yu Pei, who was almost a traitor to his country.
Marriage requires three letters and six ceremonies. Without Yu Pei, the only relative and elder on Yu Lin’s side who can be considered as a relative is their master, Bai Xiaosheng. Chu Yi strives to do everything perfect for Yu Lin, so he wants to take this opportunity to go to Yunmeng Ze and ask Bai Xiaosheng to go through the engagement ceremony.
A few days later, Chu Yi submitted a petition stating that he needed to recuperate due to illness. Qi Huan was unhappy with him and felt annoyed when he saw him, so he readily approved the petition.
Ten days had passed by when the two of them arrived at Yunmeng Lake at an unhurried pace. It was dusk, and the mist rising from the water made everything around the water unclear. Yu Lin was too lazy to look for the exit, so he walked in through the Du Gate with Chu Yi, intending to break the formation directly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air. Chu Yi, holding Yu Lin, jumped to the side. When he turned his head, he found a sword stuck in the place where the two of them had been standing, and the sword was humming incessantly.
From the mist came a clear but authoritative voice, “Who dares to intrude into Yunmeng Ze?” Before the words fell, the speaker was already close at hand, dressed in linen and wooden clogs, looking to be in his thirties.
“Master!”
Bai Xiaosheng pulled out the sword from the ground and looked at the two in surprise, “Qinglan? Shaoze?”
Without any excitement or joy of seeing his disciples, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hesitate and pointed his sword at Chu Yi, “Even if you are my disciple, if you want to break into Yunmeng Ze, you have to rely on your own strength.”
