"I understand you best!" Duanmu Qingchen shouted, "You are always looking at what's in the pot, and nothing can satisfy your appetite! You have the throne, and you have Lin Shiyue too! You are the emperor, what in this world can't you get?!"
"Freedom!" Duanmu Jinhong suddenly said, which startled Duanmu Qingchen and made him laugh: "What? Did I hear it right? You are going to be free?"
"Yes, I want freedom! You heard me right, I want freedom!" Duanmu Jinhong repeated loudly and decisively.
Duanmu Qingchen looked at him with amusement: "Haven't you always hated me for being born half an hour later? Haven't you always thought that your ability is not inferior to mine, but I inherited the throne? Brother, do you not want the throne anymore?"
Duanmu Jinhong glared at Duanmu Qingchen fiercely: "You don't have to ridicule me, I know I was wrong before, absolutely wrong! When I was in Songcheng, the Queen saved my life, so I owe you a life. What right do I have to take everything from you?" Duanmu Jinhong's chest felt like it was pierced by countless wooden thorns. The deep sense of guilt made him feel like dying.
He is not bad enough, and because he is not bad enough, he still has heart.
Duanmu Qingchen looked at his painful appearance in shock and grabbed his collar: "What?! My mother saved you! You bastard! You actually put my mother in danger!" Duanmu Qingchen punched Duanmu Jinhong directly in the face, the face that originally belonged to him.
"I'm sorry..." Duanmu Jinhong did not fight back, but said these three words.
Duanmu Qingchen raised his fist again, but couldn't hit him anymore. He pinched it and pushed him away angrily: "That's how you are! You think you are so powerful! So vicious! But actually you are so indecisive!" Duanmu Qingchen said angrily.
Duanmu Jinhong did not say anything in reply, as if when he was doing other people's things, he could see himself more clearly.
"Do you think that father, mother, and Prime Minister Lin can't see what you're thinking? Everyone can see it! Prime Minister Lin has reminded me more than once to be careful of you, but why didn't I guard against you? Because I knew you didn't have the guts!" Duanmu Qingchen pointed fiercely at Duanmu Jinhong's face again, "By the way, you really surprised me that time at the National Temple. You finally had the guts to mess with me! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to mess with me?! I've been waiting for you to take my throne so that I can live freely!"
Duanmu Jinhong was stunned immediately. He was like a man who had been completely stripped naked by Duanmu Qingchen. He stood naked in front of Duanmu Qingchen, and was seen clearly by Duanmu Qingchen.
"So you want me to switch back with you now?! I worked so hard to escape from the throne, and you actually want me to switch back?! Don't even think about it!" Duanmu Qingchen almost yelled at Duanmu Jinhong.
Duanmu Jinhong stood there in a daze. He finally understood that all along, he was not the one plotting against Duanmu Qingchen, but Duanmu Qingchen was the one plotting against him.
Now Duanmu Qingchen has got what he wanted. Even if it is the throne, which is the supreme power, it is worthless in the eyes of the other party. What can he use to exchange it in return
He fell into the trap. He was tied to the throne he had always dreamed of, and continued to live in fear and without freedom.
Duanmu Qingchen grabbed Duanmu Jinhong by the collar and looked at his regretful face that almost pissed him off: "Since you are so obsessed with the throne, I will give it to you! Don't regret it! Only if I become Duanmu Jinhong can I have the chance to be with the woman I love! What you want to take away now is not only my freedom, but also my future happiness!"
"Your beloved woman..." Duanmu Jinhong stared at Duanmu Qingchen in a daze.
"That's right! My goddess!" Duanmu Qingchen pushed Duanmu Jinhong away. As long as Lian Youyou was mentioned, his heart was instantly filled with sunshine and a happy smile appeared on his face. "Now I can finally be with my goddess... If I were the prince, I would have to marry a wife, and I would not be qualified to be with her, do you understand?" Duanmu Qingchen turned around and glared at Duanmu Jinhong.
Duanmu Jinhong looked at the body that originally belonged to him. He couldn't imagine his body being with another woman! He suddenly had a strange feeling that his body was being flirted with by others. This instantly made his whole body goosebumps and his hair stood on end!
When he exchanged bodies with him, he never thought about other things. But now, he suddenly remembered that even though Duanmu Qingchen told his father that he would leave the capital and give Lin Shiyue to him, when he and Lin Shiyue had their wedding night, it was Duanmu Qingchen's body!
"No! No! Are you going to use my body to be with the woman you love? Do you think that's appropriate?" Duanmu Jinhong has always been a germaphobe, and now she suddenly realized that he cared so much about his body!
"What's inappropriate?" Compared to Duanmu Jinhong's serious concern, Duanmu Qingchen seemed extremely uncomfortable and looked at his own body. "The body is just a piece of clothing. I will change it when I die. Youyou said that I am Ziwei Star. When I die, won't I go back to the Immortal Palace?" Duanmu Qingchen grinned, as if he was already imagining the beautiful and happy picture of himself and Youyou leaning on each other.
"Purple Star? Are you sure?" Duanmu Jinhong finally calmed down and found the bargaining chips he had exchanged for. "You forgot that our fate has also changed, so I am the Purple Star!"
Duanmu Qingchen stood there in shock, and Duanmu Jinhong's narrow eyes opened as wide as possible. It seemed that this was really the truth.
Duanmu Jinhong stretched out his hand: "If we change it back, you will be the Purple Star!"
Duanmu Qingchen hesitated for a moment. Because he was the only one who was Ziweixing, so he could pursue Lian Youyou for all his lives. Ziweixing was a deity after all!
But Duanmu Qingchen? He was just a mortal. In this life, once he crossed the bridge and drank Mengpo soup, he forgot about Lian Youyou. No! He didn't want to forget his goddess! Even if he was not qualified to be Lian Youyou's man, he wanted to be her male servant!
"Snap!" Duanmu Qingchen grabbed Duanmu Jinhong's arm and said, "Let's go and ask Youyou!"
Before Duanmu Jinhong could come to his senses, he was dragged out by Duanmu Qingchen.
"It's night time now! We can't go out!" Duanmu Jinhong grabbed Duanmu Qingchen.
Duanmu Qingchen looked at him with amusement: "Why can't you go out? It's your heart that's holding you back. When did father ever say that we princes can't go out at night?"
Duanmu Jinhong was stunned. Yes, Father had never said that they couldn't go out, it was only when Duanmu Qingchen got into trouble that he was banned from going out, but Father had never banned the other princes.
It was really his heart that bound his freedom. Duanmu Qingchen said the same thing as Lian Youyou. (To be continued)
