Duan Changchuan read only two or three lines of the letter full of "literary love" and put it away with a red face.
I secretly thought in my heart: What a dishonest person! What a hooligan!
But I can’t stop wanting to watch…
But if I really follow the letter, I have to wait until night. Now I see that if I wait until night, it will be... well, I don't have that feeling anymore.
But do we really need to do that
The young man began to feel dazed from the time of dinner. He even ate absent-mindedly. When he was reviewing memorials at night, he was even more absent-minded and could hardly read the words in the memorials.
He tried hard to concentrate and stayed up late into the night to finish reviewing the memorials.
It was already the hour of Hai, and Duan Changchuan was sitting alone by the pool in the bathroom, floating back and forth.
Do you want to read the letter tonight
If you want to read the letter... you should clean it thoroughly first.
[No, I am an emperor and a gentleman! How can I do such a thing again! ]
[Duan Changchuan, you are a modern Omega, you can't be so conservative. It is not normal for an Omega to please himself.]
[But isn’t this too much… that is, too wasteful…]
[Don't you want to?]
There was a struggle between the conscience and the desire in my mind.
But after fighting so much, it seems that only one sentence is left: Don’t you want to
Don't you want to be hugged and comforted by your Alpha
How could I not want to
[But... I'm going crazy thinking about her.]
…
-
After two incense sticks of time, a young man in a bright yellow robe finally came out of the bathroom.
In the light of the candle, her face was red.
"Your Majesty, are you tired today? You bathed for a little longer than usual. The imperial physician has warned you not to bathe for too long, as it's easy to get dizzy. Look, your face is all red."
Changle said in a low voice while holding a lantern and leading the way.
The young man was startled when he heard this, and rubbed his face gently: "Ahem... I was just a little sleepy today, so I soaked for a while longer."
"Ah, there are a lot of things to do today. Doctor Huang originally said that you should go to bed after the hour of Hai... Fortunately, tomorrow is a day off and you don't have to attend court, so Your Majesty can sleep more."
"Well, there is no need to attend court early tomorrow."
As the two talked, they returned to the bedroom in the palace.
Changle pushed open the palace door, turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you need to do?"
Duan Changchuan shook his head and said, "No, you and Yiman should go and have a rest. You don't have to wait on me. I will read a book for a while and then I will rest."
"Well, Your Majesty, use your eyes carefully."
"Well, go down."
The door creaked shut. The boy hesitated for a long time, and finally went to the study to get the letter. He held it tightly all the way back to the bedroom.
The candles in the room were still burning, and the warm yellow light filled the room.
The young man sat down in the bedroom and prepared to unfold the letter. He looked up at the empty surroundings, thought for a moment, and then lowered the gauze curtain of the bedroom.
After a while, the curtain was half-lifted.
[It’s a bit dark, I can’t see the words clearly… ]
So, I had to suppress the shame in my heart and read that special letter in the huge room.
[Baby, didn't you just read the letter? It's okay, let's do it again. Are you lying down properly this time, huh
Baby, have you taken a bath? Let your husband smell it...
Be good and untie your shirt.
If I ask you to untie it, do you really want me to untie it? Or you still have to let me take it off for you, right
… ]
The entire letter was only two pages long, but Duan Changchuan took a full hour to finish reading it.
The young man got out of bed with the slightly sweaty letter in his hand. Although there was no one in the room, he was still very embarrassed.
The handkerchief that Bai Su sent was wrinkled beyond recognition, wet and... well, it's hard to describe.
He reluctantly threw away the handkerchief, then went to the study to get Bai Su's clothes, curled up and covered himself with it, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
The air was filled with the strong and fiery scent of gardenias.
-
Duan Changchuan was awakened by the noise outside in the late night.
"There's an assassin, your majesty!"
Changle's voice came from outside, followed by the sound of close combat.
Duan Changchuan immediately woke up from his dream, touched the firearm that Bai Su had given him and placed beside his pillow, and turned over to hide in a dark corner.
The secret guards in the courtyard were transferred to Huainan by Duan Changchuan a month ago to help suppress and search for evidence of corrupt officials. Several of them followed Bai Su to the palace. Now, there are only Xiaoyi and Xiaoqi on duty in the entire Mingsheng Temple, plus Xiaoba who just returned from delivering a letter, a total of three.
But the number of assassins is visibly greater.
As soon as Duan Changchuan hid in the corner, four people came in from the roof and the window. Xiaoyi shouted "Protect His Majesty", and Xiaoqi and Xiaoba immediately followed the assassin and rushed into the central hall.
The secret guards moved quickly, and immediately began to tremble with the assassin. But two people were no match for four, and the opponent still left one person free and jumped directly to the side of the dragon bed.
The assassin didn't even look at him, he just lifted the quilt and stabbed him with his sword.
Duan Changchuan immediately judged that this was a group of top-notch assassins. Their mission was to kill Duan Changchuan.
It is very likely that not a single person will be left alive, and not a single word can be asked from them.
The young man acted decisively and pointed the firearm at the man's forehead in the dark.
Bai Su said that there was a poisonous needle inside, but the thrust part used to push the "bullet" was still detonated by gunpowder, so it would inevitably make a sound. In other words, just one shot would expose his current position.
But if his gun is fast enough...
In a flash, there was a sound like an explosion in the room. The assassin standing beside the bed didn't even react to the source of the sound before a silver needle soaked in poison had already pierced his forehead.
"Over there!"
He shouted urgently to his companions, and the next moment he held his head in surprise.
While the others were still stunned, Duan Changchuan immediately gave the remaining two people another blow.
In less than a minute, three bodies were lying in the room, each with a metal cross stuck on the forehead - it was the needle holder for the silver needle.
The young man put away his firearm and came out from the corner. He brushed off the dirt on his sleeves and gave the order in a cold voice: "Capture him alive."
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba immediately locked the only remaining one to the ground, first dislocated his jaw, then dislocated the joints of his arms and legs behind his ears.
The sound of bones breaking echoed in the quiet room.
At the same time, the royal guards patrolling the palace broke in one after another.
The first person knelt down in front of the young man and said, "I am late to save you!"
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba had already hidden back together the moment the other party broke into the door. So, Duan Changchuan was the only one left in the huge hall, facing the three stiff corpses and a killer who had lost all his strength and was unconscious.
The young man looked down at the person on the ground and said, "You are late. The Imperial Guards are patrol guards, but the imperial city allowed more than a dozen assassins to enter and exit my Mingsheng Palace at will. Not only are you late to rescue me, you are also neglecting your duty! Come, arrest the right commander of the Imperial Guards, and put all the guards on duty tonight in jail. I want to interrogate them overnight."
Three secret guards immediately appeared around the hall and nodded and said "yes" in unison.
Later, Xiao Qi stepped forward, subdued the man without any effort and took him away.
At the same time, the Chief of the Imperial Guards and the Left Commander-in-Chief hurried over with their personal soldiers.
"Your Majesty, I am late, I deserve death!"
The president knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door, followed by Commander Zuo, and dozens of personal soldiers behind him also knelt on the ground one after another: "Your subordinate is late, and you deserve to die!"
The young man glanced at him coldly and said, "Forget it. Do your job first. All the guards in front of the palace tonight will be put in jail. I will personally watch you being interrogated."
Then he turned to the eunuch beside him and ordered: "Changle, help me get dressed. Yiman, go to the Imperial Hospital and call for Imperial Doctors Huang and Fang. Tell them that I was attacked late at night and captured a killer alive."
After giving all the instructions, he issued another mysterious order to the void: "Notify Master Yun and Feng Yan from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to come over."
The reason why he was being mysterious was that he didn't want them to find out the number of secret guards left in the entire Mingsheng Temple.
Duan Changchuan could figure out with his toes that when these dozen assassins were sent in, they were: first, they really wanted him dead, and second, they were probably there to test his strength.
The secret guards intervened in the investigation of the Huainan case. The Regent and Prime Minister Bai should have noticed it.
As expected from the beginning, they would be very curious to know how strong his cards are.
Duan Changchuan thought he would be tested, but he didn't expect it to be so blatant. He bribed the imperial guards patrolling in front of the palace and sent the assassins directly into the imperial city. He didn't take him seriously at all!
The Regent is still the same daring Regent.
Duan Changchuan put on a dragon robe and followed the team that was holding the Imperial Guards into the prison. Dali Temple Minister Jiang and Junior Minister Xie hurried over after hearing the news.
For a moment, the prison was full of people being interrogated.
Yun Xie took the prison guards and strolled back and forth in the cell where the Imperial Guards were being held, and anyone who dared to say a word would be interrogated first.
Feng Yu and Fang Moyan were in charge of the interrogation of the Imperial Guards; Duan Changchuan, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba and Old Doctor Huang were in charge of the interrogation of the assassin.
The interrogation process was presided over by the Dali Temple Minister and Xie Shaoqing.
There were spies in the Imperial Guards, and assassins broke into the Ming Palace at night. This was no less than a palace coup. Everyone was on high alert and did not dare to be negligent.
The assassin's teeth had been knocked out while he was unconscious, and the poison in his mouth had been taken out. Now his hands and feet were tied up, leaving him no room to move.
Jiang Qing poured a bucket of water directly on the man, and the long torture interrogation began.
…
The entire prison was filled with screams of agony that were worse than death.
The assassin was worthy of being called an assassin. Doctor Huang used all kinds of torturous poisons. His body was beaten to pieces, but he didn't even have a single bruise.
But the Royal Guards next door might have been frightened and confessed early on.
There is only one person who has a problem, and it's not the deputy commander.
Duan Changchuan found out later that these assassins used the strategy of "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, luring the tiger away from the mountain". They sent people to the Imperial Guards and the Mingsheng Temple at the same time. The patrolling Imperial Guards fought with these people, delaying their arrival.
As for the ghost in the Imperial Guard, his weak spot was pinched and he was coerced into stealing all the patrol maps and handover maps of the Imperial Guard tonight and handed them over.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple went to arrest the man according to the confession, but found that he had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
The clues were completely cut off.
The case was tried for a whole night, but nothing was found except for the arrest of a spy in the Royal Guards. This was an expected answer. The Regent was very shrewd and would not let them get hold of any evidence since he had made such a decision.
The group came out of the cell tiredly.
Yun Xie and Feng Xian were chatting, cursing the Regent as an old fox.
Old Doctor Huang yawned and pounded his waist, saying that he was old and useless. Fang Moyan whispered some advice to him.
No one noticed that Duan Changchuan's complexion became worse and worse after he came out of prison.
After not sleeping all night and spending the entire night in that cold and smelly cell, he had actually been feeling uncomfortable since early in the morning, but he had been forcing himself to endure it in front of so many people.
Now that I'm out of jail, my heart is finally not as tense as before, and my stomach is starting to churn.
Besides...last night was the first time he killed someone after regaining his memory.
Last night, the image of the gun needle piercing the assassin's forehead and the late-night interrogation room with the prisoner covered in blood flashed before his eyes again and again.
The boy's steps became slower and slower, and his face became paler and paler.
Changle realized that something was wrong with him, and quickly called out to the people in front of him: "Doctor Huang! Doctor Fang! Gentlemen, wait a moment, His Majesty... His Majesty is probably not well!"
After he finished speaking, the boy couldn't help it anymore and vomited quietly while standing there.
Changle was so distressed that she almost cried: "Your Majesty, are you feeling uncomfortable from all the tossing and turning? I'll have someone bring the sedan chair over! We've been tired all night, let's not walk anymore, let's go back directly on the sedan chair. I've asked the kitchen to prepare some red date millet porridge, which I cooked an hour ago. Have a bowl of it when you get home, and have a good sleep."
Doctor Huang came over to calm him down, "How could I have forgotten that you were still pregnant! Tell me, it's just an interrogation of an assassin, but you really need to go there in person? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust Yun Xie and Feng Yan?"
After saying that, he took his arm and felt his pulse.
"It doesn't matter. I might be hungry... or maybe I'm tired."
He quietly pulled his arm back.
The next moment, he was exposed: "Your pulse is weak and deep, and the speed is slightly faster than before. It's obvious that you were frightened. Could it be that you were... frightened?"
Duan Changchuan: …
He withdrew his arm as if nothing had happened: "When the assassin came, my movements were a bit rough, and I felt uncomfortable in my stomach just now. I am a little worried about the baby."
"Well, you are afraid, but I won't say anything to you. Many men in the army vomited when they killed someone for the first time, but they still fought bravely on the battlefield. It's not a big deal."
Yun Xie came over smiling and fanning himself: "What do you mean by vomiting? This isn't the first time he's watched an execution. Is he really worried about the baby?"
After saying that, he touched his belly and said, "It's almost four months now, is there any fetal movement? I didn't expect that you would be so considerate after becoming a father."
Duan Changchuan blushed at what he said and wanted to slap his hand away, but then he felt... this scene seemed a little bit heartwarming.
So he tilted his head awkwardly and let the man touch him gently.
"How can it be that fast... Well, stop staring at my belly. How can I explain it to someone if they see me?"
"Hahaha, you're an emperor, what's there for you to explain? Do you know what you look like now?"
"… What?"
"The little husband who was taken home by someone else, hahaha! I looked like your husband just now."
The boy's face immediately darkened and he knocked the man's claws off.
Not only did he knock his claws off, he also whipped the fan at his waist and hit him on the head.
"Say it again, say it again!"
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with just saying it casually? I was just kidding! Besides, aren't you a young husband?"
Duan Changchuan:!!!
Even more angry.
What happened to my little husband!
He is Yunxie, isn’t he
Sooner or later you will be beaten by your aunt!
The author has something to say:
Duan Chuanchuan: Angry (the kind that is hard to appease)
Bai Su: How about you read the letter again
Duan Chuanchuan: ! ! (Not really!) (crossed out) It’s not impossible… (whispering)
