Jiang Yun was naturally sleepless.
Because the drug in his body has not worn off yet, he has been tossing and turning all day, feeling somewhat weak. He was closing his eyes to nourish his mind when he suddenly felt a heavy object pressing against him from one side. He abruptly opened his eyes and saw that Sui Heng had returned at some point.
“Did Gu wake you up?”
Sui Heng propped his chin with one hand and asked with a smile, his eyes were particularly bright in the night.
Jiang Yun shook his head.
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was in a good mood. He thought to himself. Could it be that Gongsun Yang didn’t survive? What did this person come up with?
The tone was then somewhat cold. “No.”
That means no sleep.
Sui Heng’s smile deepened. “Are you specifically waiting for Gu to come back?”
Jiang Yun directly raised his left wrist and said. “Untie me.”
“That won’t do.”
“If you run away, where can Gu find another suitable concubine like you?”
Jiang Yun frowned.
“I promise I won’t run.”
Sui Heng didn’t respond, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What? You’ve thought it through?”
Jiang Yun then expressed his truest feelings.
“It’s hard to bear.”
Sui Heng looked down and saw that on Jiang Yun’s left wrist, which was locked by the gold ring, a red mark had already been printed on the joint between the wrist and the gold ring. He immediately realized that when he locked him up, his heart felt stuffy, so he didn’t adjust the size properly and was a bit heavy-handed.
He felt remorseful in his heart, but when he saw the little thing locked on the beauty’s jade-white skin, he couldn’t help but think of how this despicable little lover of his was trifling with the idea of leaving him.
He deliberately lowered his eyes and said, “It’s right to feel uncomfortable. Do you know you’re wrong now?”
“Just this is already too much to bear, what can you do later?”
Jiang Yun bit his lip and looked at him coldly.
“Are you going to undo this or not?”
“If you kiss Gu, Gu will undo it.”
“……”
“Shameless.”
Sui Heng laughed and said, “This is shameless? There are more shameless things that Gu has yet to do.”
He deliberately probed his hand into the silk quilt and whispered, “Gu has heard that the beauties in the palace are lying naked on the dragon bed, waiting for pleasure after being washed clean. Is Ah Yan doing the same now?”
Jiang Yun’s ears instantly turned red, and he looked at him in annoyance.
After a while, he took a deep breath and turned his head, still burying his face in the pillow. He said, “If you want to do it, hurry up and don’t delay my sleep.”
Sui Heng: “……”
What kind of talk is this?
He made it sound like he was a beastly, horny bastard.
“Alright, just teasing you, look at your temper.”
Sui Heng let out a laugh and stepped forward to undo the locking ring.
Jiang Yun rubbed his wrist and added, “Clothes.”
“Oh.”
Sui Heng immediately got out of bed and went to take out all the jade belts and robes that were hidden in the corner box and put them by the bed.
Jiang Yun took them over, turned his back, put on his robe without slowing down, and tied on the jade belt. He turned around and saw Sui Heng squatting at the head of the bed, holding his chin with one hand, smiling and staring at him without blinking.
He has obviously been watching for quite a while already.
He asked lightly, “What are you…looking at?”
“Naturally, look at your beauty.”
Sui Heng returned graciously.
Jiang Yun lowered his eyes and got out of the bed by himself.
Sui Heng quickly stood up and asked, “Where are you going?”
Jiang Yun just wants to move his legs after a long period of immobilization, but hearing him ask so nervously, he asked in return, “Are you going to lock me in this palace and not allow me to go out?”
Sui Heng: “……”
Sui Heng’s intuition tells him that this is a dead-end question.
And he coughed and said, “Of course not, but in the middle of the night, it’s cold and unsafe outside. Gu is just worried about your safety.”
Jiang Yun no longer paid attention to him and walked along the main hall, stretching his arms and dispersing his steps.
Sui Heng later realized that he was just moving his hands and feet. He couldn’t help but smile. He stood in front of the bed with his arms folded, his gaze following him closely as he moved.
He thought to himself, How in the world can there be someone who even waves their arms in such a nice and elegant manner?
Not long after, the guard brought the late-night snacks over. Sui Heng lowered his arms and called out, “Ah Yan, come and have a meal first.”
It was this kind of intimate tone that made them feel like they were family.
Jiang Yun had no interest in eating with him at the same table, but he remembers the methods used by this person in the cave to force him to eat, so he walked over and sat down behind the table.
During this period of time, the Guozhu of the Chen Kingdom, in order to please Sui Heng, put in a lot of effort, tried every means, and naturally prepared a very abundant midnight snack. There is hot soup, pastries, and a variety of meat and vegetables, catering to various tastes.
Jiang Yun picked a few light dishes, took a few simple bites, and then put down the silver chopsticks.
Sui Heng frowned and said, “Just eating this much?”
They hadn’t eaten for almost an entire day since they came up from the bottom of the cliff.
He is strong and sturdy, it is naturally fine for him to starve for two meals, but how can the delicate body of his little lover withstand it?
Therefore, just now, he temporarily called out to the Chen Kingdom’s Guozhu and asked for a late-night snack.
Jiang Yun said, “I’m full, you can eat the rest.”
“Do you want to be punished again?”
Sui Heng took half a bowl of porridge and pushed it over to him. “Eat this. Gu has tasted it for you. It’s not bad.”
It’s not that Jiang Yun didn’t eat, but he really couldn’t eat.
He didn’t want to get entangled with him again over this small matter, so he grabbed the silver spoon and took a few perfunctory sips.
“Wasteful.”
Sui Heng simply drank the rest of his congee along with his own.
Jiang Yun was wiping the corner of his mouth with a soft handkerchief, and when he saw this, he gave him a strange look.
Sui Heng found it interesting and smiled. “What are you looking at? You haven’t been hungry before, so you don’t know the value of food. When Gu was fighting in the Northen region, it was common to starve and freeze. After a long while, one will be scared of hunger. When we sees dry food, we will want to hoard it. Unlike you, who are so delicate and fussy.”
Jiang Yun clearly knew that the northern region he spoke of should be the small northern country that had been beaten to tears by the Qinglang Battalion in recent years and had already been included in the territory of the Sui Empire. The rapid rise and strength of the Sui Empire were not only due to the solid foundation laid by its predecessors but also to its outstanding military talent.
This person has exceptional talent beyond ordinary people, as well as sufficient patience and resilience, making him a formidable opponent.
After finishing the meal, Sui Heng packed the bowls and chopsticks and handed them over to the guards.
When he returned, Jiang Yun had already sat by the window, reading a book.
A hazy candlelight imprints a slender green shadow on the window, elegant and bright.
The fingers that held the manual were even longer and whiter than the jade, with a thrilling beauty to them.
Sui Heng walked over and rubbed the silhouette into the light. He leaned down and asked, “What are you reading? Even in the middle of the night, you’re not afraid of harming your eyes.”
Jiang Yun looked up and met his smiling eyes.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then Jiang Yun lowered his head and refocused his gaze on the book. He said calmly, “You rest first, don’t wait for me.”
“How could that be?”
Sui Heng sat down directly in the nearby circular chair, propping his chin, and said, “Don’t you readers have the pleasure of reading by candlelight at night? Since you want to read by the candlelight, how can Gu not sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman?”
“Besides, how could Gu sleep without you warming the bed?”
Jiang Yun: “……”
Jiang Yun said, “Reading should be a boring thing for you. You don’t have to torture yourself like this.”
Sui Heng smiled and said, “Who said that? Gu also loved reading as a kid, but later Gu was too busy practicing martial arts and fell behind. Why don’t you read a paragraph for Gu?”
“…You and I may not share the same interests.”
“How can we know the difference if we don’t try it? Gu thinks that the one you’re holding in your hand is very cute.”
“……”
Jiang Yun finally raised his head again and looked at him coldly.
He deliberately sat here reading, partly because of his habit of night reading and partly to avoid sleeping with this person.
This place is not like a cave at the bottom of a cliff, and he is already able to dissolve the drug on his own. Currently, he just wants to quickly cut off this strange “lover” relationship between the two of them as soon as possible.
Especially physical contact.
But this person deliberately pulled and pushed around, step by step, obviously deliberately disrupting his rhythm.
Jiang Yun closed the book in his hand and threw it into Sui Heng’s arms, saying, “You can read it yourself, I’ll change to another one.”
Tsk.
Sui Heng looked at the book in his hands, which still had a faint lotus fragrance. He picked it up and threw it aside, saying, “If you don’t want to read for Gu, then don’t. What are you being so fierce for?”
Seeing that Jiang Yun had already picked up another book to read, he smiled and got up directly. He reached out and picked the person up horizontally, saying, “Read what? It’s time to go to bed.”
“Can’t you see that Gu is waiting for you to go to bed with?”
Jiang Yun’s book fell to the ground, and he looked at him in anger.
“Alright, Gu will compensate you with a carriage ride tomorrow.”
“Don’t be mad, alright?”
Sui Heng placed the person on the bed, kneeled on one knee, and gradually helped Jiang Yun remove his boots and socks from his feet.
Jiang Yun looked at him with a complex expression.
Sui Heng looked up and smiled leisurely. “There’s no need to be touched. You’re the only one in the world who gets to be personally served by Gu.”
Jiang Yun’s lips opened and closed. “You…don’t have to be like this.”
“I can do it myself.”
“You’re delicate, just warm the bed for Gu, where can you do this kind of rough work?”
He smiled and neatly placed his removed boots and socks aside, stood up, and then wanted to help Jiang Yun untie the jade belt around his waist.
“No need.”
Jiang Yun pressed his hand for a while and said, “I’ll just do it myself.”
Sui Heng didn’t insist, he just said, “Move quickly, don’t procrastinate until dawn.” Then he turned around and went to untie his own clothes.
Jiang Yun watched him quickly take off his belt, outer robe, and inner garment and put them on the hanger, revealing his slender and agile waist and smooth and beautiful shoulder and back muscle lines.
As well as numerous traces of old wounds crisscrossing the back.
Some are deeper, and some are already shallow.
Obviously, all of them are his achievements on the battlefield, one sword at a time.
Jiang Yun retracted his eyes and removed the jade belt and outer robe by himself. Then lay face down to the inner side in his middle garment layer.
Not long after he lied down, his waist was gently grabbed from behind.
“Why are you so far away from Gu?”
The person whispered in his ear.
“How in the world can you warm someone’s bed like that?”
Jiang Yun’s body line subconsciously tensed, and he remained silent for a moment before saying, “I’m a bit tired today.”
“Gu knows.”
“Gu won’t touch you today.”
“Let Gu hold you, alright?”
Although he spoke in an inquiring tone, his movements were very forceful.
Jiang Yun didn’t say anything, which was considered tacitly approved.
Sui Heng smiled and exerted force on his arm to pull the person over, then hugged him tightly and said, “Sleep.”
Jiang Yun knew it was useless to struggle, so he let him hold him and closed his eyes. Too much strength had been expended today, and in a short while, he fell into a deep sleep.
“Sure is delicate.”
Sui Heng chuckled lightly, reached out to extinguish the candle with his fingers, and adjusted his arms position to make the little lover in his arms sleep more comfortably.
Jiang Yun slept soundly, and when he woke up, the sky outside was already bright.
He is surrounded by nothing, there was no one, and the silk quilt covered his body completely. The thin silk curtains are also tightly draped.
He needs to find a solution to deal with Gongsun Yang’s matter today, he can’t delay any longer.
Jiang Yun got up, put on his robes, and realized that clean shoes and socks had been placed beside the bed, exactly the same size as the ones he had worn before, but the style was brand new.
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then changed and exited the room.
The guards were about to stop him, but when they saw his jade-like, immortal, and elegant figure, they all froze.
Last night, Jiang Yun buried himself in Sui Heng’s arms, and he was carried all the way into the palace by Sui Heng.
The guards didn’t get a good look at his face.
The guards were captured by his charm, and they forgot to speak for a moment.
“What are you all doing there?”
A rough voice exploded flatly in the distance.
Fan Qi walked over with a sword in his hand.
The guard quickly saluted, “Deputy General Fan.”
Fan Qi’s gaze fell on Jiang Yun in a radically alert manner.
He thinks, This is the little vixen who seduced His Highness?
Sure enough, he was born—quite charming.
Fan Qi thought with only the words he could think of.
“His Highness asked me to come and call you over.”
He speaks in a rough tone and not in a kind way.
Jiang Yun carried his hands behind his back and stepped down the jade steps in a graceful manner, saying, “Let’s go.”
Fan Qi led the way in the front and walked for a while until they reached a corner on the palace road. Taking advantage of the fewer people around, he suddenly stopped, straightened his chest, and raised his head, arrogantly saying, “I advise you to give up the idea of seducing His Highness early.”
Jiang Yun watched this rough guy quietly.
Fan Qi thought he was afraid and snorted, “There’s no harm in telling you. Our Highness has had someone in his heart for a long time.”
“You, although you have a little bit of beauty, but in terms of talent, you are in no way comparable to our Highness’s true beloved.”
Jiang Yun didn’t mind taking the opportunity to gather more information and asked, “Who is Your Highness’s beloved?”
“Young Master Yan Qi, You should’ve heard of him before ba.”
The author has something to say:
Fan Qi, congratulations on entering hell mode.
