Lin Ziran looked ashamed and angry. His voice seemed to tremble with anger: “Your Majesty!”

There was a look of pain and repression deep in Feng Yuanji’s eyes. He had endured it for too long and didn’t want to endure it any longer.

I am the Emperor, the ruler of the world. Why can’t I get someone?

Feng Yuanji bit Lin Ziran’s lips fiercely and said slowly in a low and hoarse voice: “You also know that Gu is your Emperor. Do you want to disobey Gu’s orders?”

Lin Ziran was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he closed his eyes in pain as if accepting his fate.

Feng Yuanji tightly grasped Lin Ziran’s wrist and lowered his head to kiss him again.

………………

The man’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, his eyes were tightly closed, and his crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly. Perhaps because of emotions, the blush at the end of his eyes became more intense. He bit his lips, trying his best to restrain himself, but a weak sound still leaked out from his lips…

Lin Ziran thought it was fun, but the only regret was that due to his character, he couldn’t make any sound, and it was really hard to hold it in…

And Qi Xuan is outside. It’s quite embarrassing…

He could only frown and bite his lip without making any sound.

Feng Yuanji kissed the corner of Lin Ziran’s lips lovingly, inserted his fingers into his long hair, and looked gentle and affectionate…

He stretched out his fingertips, trying to smooth out the wrinkles between the other person’s eyebrows, but the other person turned his head to avoid it. Feng Yuanji showed a bitter smile on his lips.

You’re going to hate me, right?

I know.

You don’t like me, and you don’t like being treated like this, I know that, but I won’t let you leave…

Even if you don’t have me in your heart, even if you only respectfully obey orders, even if it’s just like this…

I still want to keep you, keep you by my side.

Feng Yuanji hid the pain in his eyes, pulled the quilt over Lin Ziran, and hugged him tightly in his arms. Then he raised his head and said in a deep voice: “Let him in.”

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Lin Ziran became nervous upon hearing the sound, his ears turned red, and he turned his head and buried his face in Feng Yuanji’s arms, pretending to be dead.

Qi Xuan walked in slowly, his eyes fixed on the front.

Feng Yuanji’s clothes were slightly open, and he looked wantonly and content, hugging the man in his arms tightly. The man’s face could not be seen clearly. Only his long hair was loose, and there were red marks on his exposed wrists.

Qi Xuan did not look at it for long, and quickly retracted his gaze, saying softly: “This one had no intention of disturbing Your Majesty’s leisure, but I just happened to paint a picture today, and wanted to come over and ask Li Daren to appreciate it.”

Feng Yuanji looked at Qi Xuan coldly with sharp eyes and said meaningfully: “You are thoughtful.”

Qi Xuan said calmly: “I just have nothing to do.”

Feng Yuanji smiled and suddenly said: “The matter here is over. Not long ago, the king of Anhe country sent a letter, saying that he missed you very much. Now that the two countries are at peace, I think you should choose a day to go back. You don’t have to stay here any longer.”

Qi Xuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight at Feng Yuanji.

Feng Yuanji looked directly into Qi Xuan’s eyes: “Don’t worry, my previous promises are still valid.”

Qi Xuan pursed his lips tightly. After a moment, a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice: “I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty.”

He took one last look at Lin Ziran and turned to leave.

Feng Yuanji retracted his gaze and looked down at the person in his arms. He saw that his ears were red with shame and anger, and his body was shaking. Feng Yuanji’s eyes dimmed. This time, I will make you give up your love for Qi Xuan…

But seeing the man like this, he couldn’t help but feel pity for him. He lowered his head and kissed his hair, his eyes soft: “Dear official is awake?”

Qi Xuan has left.

Lin Ziran turned his head to avoid Feng Yuanji, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and his voice was hoarse: “Is Your Majesty satisfied today?”

Feng Yuanji met his cold gaze, and the hint of charm that had just arisen was extinguished, leaving only a cold heart, as if a knife was cutting his heart, but he smiled and said: “Of course Gu is satisfied. Dear official’s body is so tight, Gu can’t wait to enjoy it every day.”

Lin Ziran was extremely ashamed and annoyed, looking at him with hatred, his chest heaving violently.

Feng Yuanji ordered the servants to prepare hot water, and then he personally helped Lin Ziran wash. During the process, Lin Ziran blushed again. He hugged him from behind and whispered in his ear: “Are you comfortable with Gu’s service?”

Lin Ziran closed his eyes tightly and said nothing, as if he didn’t want to say a word to this guy anymore.

Feng Yuanji became more and more interested, biting Lin Ziran’s earlobe and laughing softly: “Gu will come to pamper you again tomorrow.”

Lin Ziran couldn’t stand it any longer and finally raised his hand to hit him!

Feng Yuanji grabbed his wrist and smiled teasingly: “What? You dared to attack Gu after being favored by Gu only once, really spoiled and arrogant…”

Lin Ziran gritted his teeth.

Feng Yuanji lingered for a while before reluctantly letting go, laughing softly: “Don’t be angry, there’s still a long way to go.”

Then he left with a big laugh.

Feng Yuanji came outside.

The smile on his face and eyes slowly faded, and he pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, with a look of self-mockery and helplessness in his eyes.

He owns him.

But that’s all.

………………

Lin Ziran sat in the house, and when he had some free time, he began to sigh.

The plot has collapsed and couldn’t be understood by anyone anymore .

The protagonist gong is dead! The villain is in power! The protagonist shou is going back to his country!

And he, the male supporting role who should have been sentenced to death, became the new Emperor’s pet!

【Lin Ziran was a little dazed: System, how on earth did I make the game like this? 】

【System: …In fact, you are the winner in life. 】

【Lin Ziran: ? ? ?】

【System: Although you lost the game, you succeeded in love affair.】

【Lin Ziran:……】

He felt as if the system was mocking him…

These past few days, Feng Yuanji really came here every day.

Showing Lin Ziran the utmost favor.

Lin Ziran spent his life in debauchery every night. Considering that the plot was completely hopeless, he decided to just give up and enjoy the last benefit before quitting the game…

It was not a wasted trip.

However, due to Feng Yuanji’s actions, new rumors gradually emerged.

Because Li Ji was Feng Yuanchong’s confidant and favorite, and he had slaughtered many loyal officials for him, many people in the capital hated him to the core. After Feng Yuanji ascended the throne, all those who had not dared to speak out before came out and accused him of being lawless and framing loyal officials… In short, they asked Feng Yuanji to execute him quickly.

And everyone agreed that Feng Yuanji would definitely execute him!

Killing Li Ji is to establish authority and win over the people. For the new Emperor, it is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

But to everyone’s surprise, Feng Yuanji not only rejected all the memorials against Li Ji but also continued to favor Li Ji. Later, it was reported that he went in and out of Li Ji’s house every day… Many people began to come to their senses.

Feng Yuanji had no intention of dealing with Li Ji at all!

The question is, why does Feng Yuanji favor Li Ji so much? Everyone can’t help but start to think more about it.

Li Ji was Feng Yuanchong’s subordinate at the beginning, and Feng Yuanchong always protected him. Now the dynasty has changed, and Feng Yuanji still protects him!

It’s incredible!

Could it be that he climbed onto the new Emperor’s dragon bed again?

Could it be that Li Ji had already betrayed Feng Yuanchong, pretending to be Feng Yuanchong’s favorite minister while secretly seducing Feng Yuanji?

He has no loyalty at all. He is a sycophant, shameless, and lowly. As a man, he uses his body to please two Emperors. He is so shameless!

Everyone in the court hated and despised him, but they had no way to deal with him.

The rumors behind the scenes were a hundred times more vicious than before.

Gradually, some rumors reached Lin Ziran’s ears…

The servant who delivered the message said cautiously: “Daren, if there are any more gossipers…”

Lin Ziran said: “Don’t worry about it.”

He is quite open-minded. It’s all just jealousy.

Everyone thought that Li Ji would die with Feng Yuanchong, but not only did he not die, he was still favored by the new Emperor. He did all kinds of evil things but was still favored by two dynasties. Who knows how many people were jealous and their eyes were bleeding. But they couldn’t do anything to him. What else could they do except gossip behind his back?

Isn’t that how rumors come about?

Lin Ziran didn’t take it to heart at all.

That day, Lin Ziran was at home listening to rumors when he suddenly heard that Qi Gongzi wanted to see him.

Lin Ziran was very surprised. Qi Xuan had not come since that day and was said to be preparing to leave the Capital…

When they meet again, they have nothing to say.

Qi Xuan looked at the person in front of him quietly, with a gentle and calm expression, as if nothing had happened, and smiled slightly: “I came to say goodbye to you.”

Even if there was no coincidence that day.

This day will come sooner or later.

Feng Yuanji can’t tolerate him.

He looked at Lin Ziran deeply. We will eventually separate. This is the ending that was written from the beginning. My country is weak and I have many concerns, so I cannot live a reckless life…

But…I don’t regret falling in love with you.

Everyone says you are cold-blooded and treacherous… But I know that you have a pure and kind heart. Once you make a promise to someone, you will never take it back.

I am very happy to have your love.

This will be the most precious treasure in my life, and I will treasure it until the last moment of my life.

Qi Xuan added: “I’m leaving now. In the future, the sky is high and the road is far away. I am afraid that we will not be able to see each other again, and there will be no need to contact each other. You… take good care of yourself.”

Then he left without waiting for Lin Ziran’s answer.

Lin Ziran looked at his back as he left. This man was as decisive and neat as ever.

Today doesn’t feel like a goodbye…

It seems like a farewell.

………………

Feng Yuanji came again in the evening.

He smiled and said calmly: “Gu has learned a dish from the imperial chef recently, and his cooking skills should have improved. How about you help Gu taste it?”

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

Lin Ziran has gotten used to it. Feng Yuanji is becoming more and more comfortable with him when he comes to visit…

Not long after, Feng Yuanji prepared a dish, braised lion’s head. To be honest, it was just so-so, but it was a big improvement for him.

After Lin Ziran had eaten and drunk his fill, he was pushed back onto the bed.

Feng Yuanji hugged him, no matter how he hugged him, it was not enough, but this man was always very cold and unwilling to give him any response.

Feng Yuanji was used to it and didn’t expect too much. He kissed the hair of the person in his arms lovingly and said softly: “You don’t have to worry about him. Gu won’t touch Anhe Country, and Qi Xuan will be fine, so don’t think about him, okay…”

It is not easy for a great Emperor to be humble and put aside his pride.

Lin Ziran sighed in his heart, but didn’t say anything.

Feng Yuanji hugged Lin Ziran.

The look in his eyes was dark.

What about you? Have you ever loved me a little bit, cared about me a little bit, or do you only hate me…

But he didn’t dare to ask.

If I don’t ask, I can pretend I don’t know.

Tell myself that you care about me a little bit.

………………

Lin Ziran got up the next morning and stretched himself. It was a nice day with clear and refreshing weather outside.

He chose a fat and strong horse, put on a set of tight clothes, and put his sword on his waist. He looked extremely cool and dashing.

He rode arrogantly through the streets of the capital, and everyone avoided him and dared not look at him for a second. His fame was even greater than before.

【System: What are you going to do? 】

【Lin Ziran sighed: I am worried about Qi Xuan. 】

He didn’t think much of what Qi Xuan said when he said goodbye, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed wrong no matter how he thought about it…

Lin Ziran sometimes doesn’t like to think too much, especially when it’s just a game, because it doesn’t matter if he loses, so he is less serious and more casual. What’s more, the plot collapses hopelessly in the later stages, so it’s inevitable that he becomes a little lazy… But this doesn’t mean that Lin Ziran is a fool.

Things have come to this point. Looking at what Feng Yuanji has done and thinking about what Qi Xuan said, Lin Ziran can’t help but think about it.

Feng Yuanji could not tolerate this love rival.

Qi Xuan might be in danger.

Besides, although he has been living a good life recently, the game must end eventually.

Regardless of whether he guessed wrong or not.

It’s time to leave.

But there is one more thing before leaving. The protagonist gong is already dead. If the protagonist shou dies too, perhaps this game will be a failure again, right?

Moreover, he didn’t want Qi Xuan to die because of him.

Qi Xuan’s convoy consisted of a group of people, and they were carrying things so they moved slowly. Lin Ziran traveled lightly and rode at full speed, and soon caught up with Qi Xuan’s team.

But he did not approach, but followed from a distance…

On the third day, Qi Xuan and his party had already left the capital and arrived at a desolate wilderness with no human habitation around. The mountain roads here were rugged and remote, and it looked like a relatively dangerous place… It wouldn’t be surprising if something unexpected happened.

Then, something unexpected happened.

As the group was about to reach a narrow mountain road, a group of bandits with weapons suddenly appeared!

The group of fierce bandits were extremely fierce and attacked Qi Xuan and the others directly!

【Lin Ziran: I really guessed it right…】

【System: Did you know that something bad would happen to him?】

【Lin Ziran: Ai, being an Emperor means you can do whatever you want. 】

【System:……】

Lin Ziran frowned as he looked over. The group of people looked like bandits, but their moves were sharp and coordinated. How could they be a mob outside? They were clearly good fighters in the army. It was obvious who sent them!

Can Lin Ziran say that Feng Yuanji is worthy of being Feng Yuanchong’s XiongDi?

They all like to kill their love rivals, or in other words, no matter who sits in that position, they can’t help but want to do whatever they want?

Although Feng Yuanji promised to protect Qi Xuan and Anhe country, it was only to reassure himself.

At that time, he can just arrange an ‘accidental death’ for Qi Xuan. The sky is high and the road is far away, who can know the truth?

Only a dead rival can bring peace of mind.

The heart of an Emperor is the most ruthless and unpredictable.

Seeing the people around Qi Xuan dying one by one, Lin Ziran suddenly drew out his sword and rode forward without hesitation!

Li Ji was able to become the leader of the Imperial Guards, of course, not because of fancy moves, but because of his killing skills.

As soon as he made a move, he broke the formation of the ‘bandits’, and slashed at their legs one by one! Although it was not fatal, it made them lose their ability to move!

The bandits did not expect someone to suddenly appear, and they did not recognize Lin Ziran. They just thought he was here to rescue Qi Xuan, so they surrounded and attacked Lin Ziran without hesitation!

Qi Xuan must die today!

Anyone who stands in the way will be killed without mercy!

Qi Xuan stood in the crowd in a white robe, not showing any surprise, as if he had expected everything that happened today… He watched his attendants fall one by one, and just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, he saw Lin Ziran in a black robe suddenly rushing out of the forest!

Blood splashed on his face, making that feminine and handsome face look like a bloodstained Shura…

Qi Xuan’s pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at this scene in disbelief.

Why?

Li Ji will appear here…

Lin Ziran was fighting with dozens of people alone. Although he was really strong, he was still stabbed several times and was covered in blood. He finally found a gap and rushed to Qi Xuan, rolled him onto his horse, and rushed out of the group of bandits!

The bandits immediately chased after him on horseback. Lin Ziran did not dare to stop, and looked ahead with sharp eyes.

Qi Xuan sat behind Lin Ziran, looking at the man’s cold and sharp profile. It was clearly a critical moment, but for some reason, a trace of warmth emerged in his heart, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips…

So, you guessed it.

Qi Xuan closed his eyes.

When Feng Yuanji told him that he should leave, he knew his fate, because he was no longer useful to Feng Yuanji.

Not only was he useless, he was also a thorn in his side.

So he must die.

But it doesn’t matter. From the moment he stepped into this place from Anhe Country, he was ready to die.

He chose to stand on Feng Yuanji’s side, not because he trusted Feng Yuanji, but because he had no better choice…

Now Feng Yuanchong is dead, Feng Yuanji has become Emperor, but he is very wary of him.

What’s more, he himself is the one that Li Ji loves…

If he lived for one more day, Feng Yuanji would be unable to sleep or eat, and even cause trouble for Anhe country. But if he died, the other would keep his promise for Li Ji and guard Anhe country for him. As long as Li Ji lived for one more day, he would not touch Anhe country.

This is where Feng Yuanji is better than Feng Yuanchong. At least, he will still take Li Ji’s feelings into consideration and not attack Anhe Country, but Feng Yuanchong will not take these into consideration…

Only when he dies can he be a useful bargaining chip.

After he calculated, he calculated a lot, even the result of his own death.

But he didn’t expect that this person would come to save him.

Probably, just like he didn’t expect that he would fall in love with this person…

Qi Xuan said softly: “Put me down.”

Lin Ziran pursed his lips tightly, his eyes cold and sharp: “I will never let you go!”

Qi Xuan sighed.

Lin Ziran thought to himself, I am an affectionate male partner, how can I watch you in danger and not save you? Besides, you have done a lot for me, so I am just repaying you.

The mountain road ahead was rugged, so Lin Ziran simply abandoned the horse and walked up the mountain with Qi Xuan.

The people behind were still chasing him, and Lin Ziran walked to the front and saw a steep cliff, with no way to retreat.

Qi Xuan looked calm. He smiled with relief and his eyes were gentle: “I am very happy that you can come.”

Lin Ziran’s face was solemn, and he said word by word: “I won’t let him kill you.”

Qi Xuan shook his head and laughed.

I’m sorry, I was a little selfish and took advantage of you.

I want to die with your love, so that you will never forget me…

I’m not as good as you think.

There seemed to be a stream of light in his black eyes, and his eyes were smiling. Even though his white clothes were stained with blood, it still did not diminish his elegance. Qi Xuan suddenly approached Lin Ziran and said with a smile: “Don’t move.”

Lin Ziran was startled.

He felt a soft touch on his lips…

Qi Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, and gently kissed Lin Ziran on the lips, and said in a low and soft voice: “Thank you.”

Lin Ziran was kissed secretly by a beauty, and suddenly became very nervous, and his ears turned slightly red.

At this time, Qi Xuan still has the mood to do this kind of thing!

At this time, there were footsteps coming from behind. What surprised Lin Ziran was that those people just gathered around and did not come forward.

After a while, the crowd separated to the sides, and a man wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns and a sharp and deep face came over.

Feng Yuanji finally came.

Lin Ziran thought that Feng Yuanji came quite quickly…

He knew that he could not save Qi Xuan by himself, and he only took action to delay time. The one who could really save Qi Xuan’s life was Feng Yuanji, so he had been waiting for him.

Lin Ziran looked at Feng Yuanji from afar: “You are here.”

Feng Yuanji frowned and looked serious. He didn’t expect Lin Ziran to chase them. He rushed over as soon as he got the news.

Behind Lin Ziran was a cliff thousands of feet high. Feng Yuanji didn’t dare to force him. He pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: “Come back, I promise I won’t touch him again.”

This was said directly, without beating around the bush to try to quibble. Lin Ziran appreciated this direct style, which saved him from having to waste more words.

Lin Ziran shook his head, smiled calmly, and said with a gentle look: “Your Majesty, do you know what people are saying about me now?”

Feng Yuanji’s face changed slightly when he heard this.

Lin Ziran knew he knew everything when he saw his expression. He smiled and said, “Everyone says I am the running dog of the previous Emperor and the male pet of the new Emperor. I climbed into the dragon bed of two Emperors with my face. The Emperor’s favor never fades. They think I am amazing…”

Feng Yuanji looked at his calm expression, but he finally felt a little flustered. He said in a deep voice: “It’s all nonsense. I will cut off the tongues of those people when I go back!”

Lin Ziran raised his lips: “I’m afraid that everyone in the capital will lose their tongues…”

Feng Yuanji’s heart tightened, and he clenched his hands tightly.

Lin Ziran said calmly: “It’s okay, actually. I’m used to hearing those words…”

Although he said this, Feng Yuanji knew it was not true. He knew that this man had a stubborn character and was proud. Even if he did things that were hated by others, he would never be willing to be submissive and be the Emperor’s concubine. That was why he refused to yield to Feng Yuanchong at first. But he himself ended up doing the same thing as Feng Yuanchong…

For his own selfish reasons, not only wanted to kill his beloved, but also imprisoned the man by his side.

He thought that if he was the Emperor, he could get this person, and if he could protect him, things wouldn’t have come to this point…

But in fact, it is not true. People’s hearts cannot be won by power.

He hurt his heart. If a person doesn’t want to live, what does it matter if he has tremendous power? It’s all in vain.

He shouldn’t have made such a mistake.

But he still made a mistake and did something he shouldn’t have done.

Feng Yuanji looked anxious. He did not dare to step forward. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes. He said firmly: “Come back. I will not force you anymore!”

Qi Xuan stood beside Lin Ziran and understood his thoughts. He was immediately anxious. He had no time to care about his own safety and reached out to grab Lin Ziran!

Lin Ziran was prepared. He grabbed Qi Xuan’s wrist and looked at him tenderly: “You should understand me, right?”

Qi Xuan was in great pain.

Yes, he understood everything, but he was not strong enough after all, so he could not protect this person and could only hand him over to him.

But he wanted him to live…

Sometimes, just let go of some of your persistence and you won’t be so tormented.

Lin Ziran looked at Qi Xuan, the corners of his lips slightly raised. I know what you think, but I am about to quit the game, if someone must die, it should be me, you should live well.

He turned back and looked at Feng Yuanji again.

That man who was either frivolous and wanton, or calm and majestic, or cold and sharp…

Looking at him so sadly at this moment, still helpless and desperate, his lips trembled, and he begged him in a hoarse voice: “I was wrong, please come back, okay?”

Lin Ziran sighed and his tone softened: “Your Majesty, I should have followed the late Emperor that day.”

Although he didn’t have a good reputation in this life, at least he was loyal to the end and didn’t have to live a life of shame.

【Lin Ziran: I think this is probably what Li Ji wants. 】

【System: Do you want to get up and eat?】

【Lin Ziran:……】

Lin Ziran smiled at Feng Yuanji, suddenly pushed Qi Xuan towards Feng Yuanji, and then jumped!

Feng Yuanji ignored Qi Xuan and rushed over with bloodshot eyes!

His men were all frantic and rushed over to stop them!

Feng Yuanji was caught, he looked down absentmindedly, watching the figure getting farther and farther away, his eyes bloodshot.

………………

Feng Yuanji was walking at the bottom of the cliff. His clothes were a little messy, his face was covered with stubble, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

His subordinates stood trembling beside him, whispering: “Your Majesty, you haven’t slept for more than ten days. Let your subordinates continue to look for it. We will definitely find it…”

Feng Yuanji was unmoved. He walked among the rugged thorns. He didn’t care that his legs were cut and bleeding. He just stared blankly ahead.

Where are you?

Could it be that you don’t want to see me again even in death?

I’m sorry, I know I was wrong…

Can you come out?

I know you won’t be so heartless. You could have followed Feng Yuanchong on his death day, but you didn’t. You stayed and accompanied me. You were obviously soft-hearted…

Right?

I know.

You can’t fool me this time.

By the way, I let Qi Xuan go. I won’t touch him. I will definitely do what I promised you this time…

I will never force you again.

So, come out for a moment…

OK?
