Feng Yanzhou fussed over Li Qing, only leaving the Prime Minister’s residence once he had finally coaxed him into a good mood.
“Where are you taking me?”
“That courtyard isn’t suitable, so we’ll stay at an inn.”
Li Qing had originally wanted to suggest that the Prime Minister’s residence had plenty of empty rooms, but upon reflecting that Feng Yanzhou’s presence there wouldn’t be very logical, he silently agreed to the inn.
Once they opened the door to their room, Feng Yanzhou squeezed in right behind him. Li Qing pointed to the room across the hall. “Your room is over there.”
Feng Yanzhou pulled him into the room, closed the door, and pinned him against it. “Qingqing, don’t you want to sleep with me?”
Li Qing silently shifted his gaze. I’m afraid that if you have another one of your ‘episodes,’ my fragile physique won’t be able to handle it.
Feng Yanzhou pinched his chin, forcing him to turn around. “You’re scolding me in your heart.”
Li Qing nodded. “It’s good that you’re aware of it; there’s no need to voice it.”
Whether he was willing or not, Feng Yanzhou was used to being overbearing. With one fluid motion, he scooped Li Qing up, placed him on the bed, rolled him into the quilt, pressed him down, and pulled him close!
Li Qing, now wrapped like a silkworm, poked his head out and wiggled twice. Feng Yanzhou lowered his head and bit his lip. “Stop wiggling.”
Li Qing finally asked the question: “Are you part dog? You only know how to bite!”
Feng Yanzhou’s eyes became dangerously dark. He lowered his head again and touched his lips to Li Qing’s for a brief, fleeting moment a mere taste. “I know how to do other things, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself, and I’m afraid of hurting you.”
“Where did you learn that?”
Li Qing’s focus was certainly unique.
Feng Yanzhou laughed, pressing his lips to Li Qing’s ear. “Is Qingqing jealous?”
“Mm.”
“I read books and taught myself. When you weren’t here, I read a whole trunk of books, just thinking about the day I’d find you and bring you back so I could teach you properly…”
Li Qing: “…” He shouldn’t have asked.
Struggling with great difficulty, he turned over to face away from him. “Go to sleep!”
Feng Yanzhou kissed the top of his head and pulled him tightly into his arms. “As you wish, sleep.”
Early the next morning, before Li Qing had even woken up, Feng Yanzhou carried the rolled-up quilt with Li Qing inside back to the Prime Minister’s residence. Feng Yanzhou was very thoughtful; it was about time He Zhangying woke up, and he didn’t want her to worry if she couldn’t find Li Qing.
However, seeing her son being carried by a man, wrapped in a quilt like a bundle, only increased He Zhangying’s worry!
“Master Feng, you and Qing’er…”
“I’m the one on the bottom!” Feng Yanzhou stated the “truth” bluntly.
“Pfft—” The three secret guards who were eating all spat out their rice in unison. They had undergone special training and rarely laughed unless they really couldn’t help it! His Majesty will spin any lie to please his future mother-in-law. Does he even believe that himself?
He Zhangying didn’t know how to respond either. She opened her mouth, then silently turned and returned to her room. I’ll just wait until Qing’er wakes up to ask.
Li Qing closed his eyes and played dead. Feng Yanzhou! What have you reduced me to! He secretly opened one eye, wondering if there was a crack in the ground he could crawl into.
“Qingqing, are you awake?”
Li Qing looked at the sky, the ground, and the air. He didn’t want to be awake.
Feng Yanzhou set the quilt roll down and peeled Li Qing out of it. “Sit in the courtyard for a while; I’ll go get you some water to wash up.”
Li Qing glanced at the courtyard. The three secret guards were buried in their bowls, acting as if they hadn’t heard a thing.
After breakfast, He Zhangying called Li Qing into her room and asked hesitantly, “Qing’er, what is your relationship with the Emperor of Ning?”
Li Qing didn’t hide it from her. “We like each other.”
He Zhangying froze for a moment, then sighed. “So be it. The inheritance of the Li family’s bloodline has nothing to do with you anyway. But he is the Emperor of a nation what will you do if, one day, he grows tired of you?”
“In this life, I have only Qingqing!” Feng Yanzhou pushed the door open and walked in to answer He Zhangying’s concern. He walked into the room and knelt before her.
He Zhangying panicked and reached out to support him. “Master Feng, you mustn’t…”
“You are Qingqing’s mother; it is only right. Today, I, Feng Yanzhou, guarantee to you: I will have only one partner for my entire life, and I will never betray him!”
Li Qing reached out and pulled Feng Yanzhou up. “Mother, I think he is a good man. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be my own fault for not seeing him for who he is!”
Feng Yanzhou: “…” Qingqing doesn’t trust me!!!
Both of them were firm in their conviction. He Zhangying did not object and agreed to return to the Ning Kingdom with them. Before they left, they needed to say goodbye to He Zhangzhi…
“Brother.”
Under the long corridor, He Zhangzhi turned to look at the sister he hadn’t seen in years. His hand, tucked behind his back, trembled slightly. “Are you leaving?”
“Yes.”
“Take care.”
“I will.”
Two days after leaving the Yun Kingdom, Feng Yanzhou received a secret message from his guards.
Li Qing leaned over to take a look. “King Li has been secretly mining iron ore and forging weapons. He must be preparing for a rebellion.”
Feng Yanzhou gave a cold laugh. “After the disaster relief silver embezzlement case concluded, Feng Ming arrested many officials, but none dared to implicate King Li. I had to secretly send people to investigate his connection to the corruption, but I never expected it to lead to so much more. The Magistrate of Liangzhou, Song Zhijing, carrying a petition from the people to the capital, clearly wasn’t just pleading for the disaster victims.”
“Ying Six has already found the long-missing Prefect of Liangzhou. He is seriously wounded but carries the ledger for the iron mine. The evidence and witnesses have all been gathered and are being secretly transported to the capital. I should arrive back just in time. With this evidence in hand, I can finish King Li off directly!”
Li Qing frowned slightly. There was still a long time before King Li’s rebellion in the original plot, and he was still alive and well back then. Could Feng Yanzhou really succeed?
“Is there a traitor in your inner circle?”
Feng Yanzhou thought about it seriously. “In the two years since I ascended the throne, I have only used the connections left by my father and the trusted subordinates I cultivated myself. These past two years, my clashes with King Li have been minor, not enough to harm him fundamentally.”
“You mean that in the past, the traitor didn’t bother to act, but this time, because things have escalated, he will help King Li? If the traitor is capable of destroying that evidence and killing all the witnesses to protect King Li, it means he holds significant power by my side! The secret guards…”
At the thought of this possibility, Feng Yanzhou clenched his fists, the killing intent in his eyes deepening.
Li Qing reached out and covered Feng Yanzhou’s fist. “This is just a guess. Since you aren’t in the capital right now, we can only find the traitor once we return.”
Feng Yanzhou turned his hand over to hold Li Qing’s, rubbing his thumb against it. “If the traitor is truly among the secret guards, that person must already know that Ying Six has the evidence. It might be too late by the time we return. Ying Yi! You and Eleven go meet Ying Six; don’t let the traitor seize the opportunity.”
Li Qing rested his chin on one hand and asked, “Don’t these two look like traitors to you?”
Ying Yi, who was just about to leave: “!!!” I’ve protected you for so long, this is too much!
Feng Yanzhou pulled Li Qing into his arms and laughed, pinching his cheek. “Don’t worry, Ying Yi, Ying Er, and Ying San are the most trustworthy.”
Ying Eleven pulled back the carriage curtain, staring longingly at Feng Yanzhou. “Your Majesty, what about me?”
Feng Yanzhou, who was just about to kiss Li Qing: “…” “Are you very bored?!”
Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. Placing two of the people he trusted most by his side—Feng Yanzhou was truly deeply in love. He tilted his head up and kissed Feng Yanzhou on the chin, causing Feng Yanzhou to immediately become excited, pressing Li Qing’s head down for a fierce kiss.
Ying Eleven: “…” Who doesn’t have someone they can kiss!
He turned around and dragged Ying Yi in the direction of Liangzhou. I’ll kiss when the mission is done!
