Lin Ziran left the restaurant with a cold face, looking extremely angry!

When he got home, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became confused. What was wrong with Feng Yuanji today? It was fine to ridicule him a few times at ordinary times. Anyway, he always had to confront Li Ji when he saw him, and he was used to it… But wasn’t the kiss on the mouth a little too much today? Is he sick!

He thought it was okay, but with Li Ji’s temper, this created a grudge!

Because of his good looks, Li Ji was coveted by others when he was young and almost became a male pet of the rich and powerful. If he hadn’t been smart, patient, and self-protective, who knows where he would be now… So Li Ji hated men treating him like this, and it also laid the foundation for his resolute, unbeaten heart.

Later, he followed Feng Yuanchong and gained power and status, and became known for his cold-blooded reputation of killing people without blinking, so no one dared to take advantage of him anymore. At most, they would secretly fabricate some gossip about him and Feng Yuanchong…

Feng Yuanji may say it normally, but if he really does it in public, Li Ji might even want to kill him.

If Feng Yuanji wasn’t of noble status, blood would have been spilled today!

Originally, they were just mortal enemies, but now they are mortal enemies to the max!

It will be difficult to meet in the future.

Lin Ziran was worried, but before he could figure out what to do, he suddenly received an imperial decree from the eunuchs in the palace, asking him to go to the palace to see the Emperor.

This doesn’t even give him a break!

Lin Ziran entered the palace sighing.

Feng Yuanchong sat at the stone table in the imperial garden. There was a game of chess on the table. He was holding a white piece in one hand and seemed to be thinking about how to place it.

Lin Ziran didn’t dare to disturb him and stood aside respectfully.

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Yuanchong threw away the chess piece in his hand and looked up at the man standing beside him.

After a moment, his eyes fell on the man’s red lips.

As if because it had been ravaged, it looked more gorgeous than before.

Feng Yuanchong thought of what Feng Yuanji had done, his eyes darkened, and anger emerged in his heart. He had never even touched this person… You are just the son of a lowly concubine Hu, and I only gave you some face, but now you even dare to touch my people.

Although he was angry, Feng Yuanchong was a shrewd man and would not easily show his emotions. He said to Lin Ziran with a pleasant face: “Gu also heard about what happened today.”

Lin Ziran was not at all careless in front of Feng Yuanchong. His back was soaked with sweat. He kept thinking about what Feng Yuanchong meant by calling him into the palace? Why did he specifically mention this matter to him?

Is he testing him?

Lin Ziran thought for a moment, then showed an angry look of being humiliated. He immediately knelt down and said in a cold voice: “Jing Wang is going too far! Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for chen!”

Feng Yuanchong stared at him, seeing the deep hatred in Lin Ziran’s eyes, and after a long time, the doubts in his heart slowly faded away.

Being angry about Feng Yuanji’s behavior is one thing, but whether Li Ji betrayed him is more important. Zheng Jun’s matter has not yet been fully clarified, and it is too early to draw conclusions now… After all, Li Ji has been with him for many years, so Feng Yuanchong is still willing to trust him more, and he has no reason to collude with Feng Yuanji.

Feng Yuanchong’s expression eased. He sighed, helped Lin Ziran up with his own hands, and said: “Jing Wang has a ridiculous and reckless temper. Gu will punish him severely, but Jing Wang is Gu’s Didi after all… Dear official, please bear with Gu and don’t bother with him.”

Lin Ziran’s face was as cold as frost, and he seemed dissatisfied, but because of Feng Yuanchong’s words, he finally lowered his head and said: “Chen naturally dare not blame Jing Wang.”

This means that although he has agreed to it, he still refuses to accept it.

Feng Yuanchong looked doting and smiled helplessly: “Dear official, you have been wronged.”

In order to appease him, Feng Yuanchong gave him a pile of gold, silver, and cloth before letting Lin Ziran leave.

Lin Ziran left the palace and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Thinking carefully, he should not have revealed the truth… But he didn’t expect Feng Yuanchong to only ask about this matter. In fact, in the past two days, he was most worried about the Zheng family.

Although no one knew that he had let the little girl go, he was still guilty after all and was afraid that Feng Yuanchong would question him about this matter.

But Feng Yuanchong did not ask.

So, it should be over, right?

………………

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Qi Xuan entered the capital.

On the day of the Empress Dowager’s sixtieth birthday.

All civil and military officials were lucky enough to enter the palace to celebrate the birthday, and Lin Ziran naturally had to go as well. Not only did he have to go himself, but he was also responsible for bringing Qi Xuan into the palace.

Early in the morning of that day, Lin Ziran’s carriage stopped at the gate of Qi’s mansion.

Not long after, Qi Xuan opened the curtain and sat up. He sat directly beside Lin Ziran, looking straight ahead with a calm expression.

Lin Ziran glanced at the beauty, who was still wearing white clothes today. He really liked this white dress. Qi Xuan was so particular that he would definitely not change his clothes. He probably had a lot of identical clothes…

This reminded him of the scene in a TV series where a domineering president opened his closet and saw a closet full of identical shirts. How heroic.

However, it may be that the computer was lazy when designing the game. In any case, this kind of beautiful and ethereal beauty must wear white clothes to set off his ethereal aura. If he wears a flowery robe, it will be awkward no matter how beautiful he is…

Lin Ziran was absent-mindedly thinking about random things.

Soon, they arrived at the palace.

The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.

Qi Xuan disdained to associate with Lin Ziran and left on his own after entering the palace. Lin Ziran didn’t care, and he slowly found a place to sit down.

The banquet hasn’t started yet.

Not many people came.

Lin Ziran had only met Empress Dowager once, on the day Qi Xuan entered the capital. She looked like a kind-looking old lady. The script described her as very kind and generous, a good Empress who was the mother of the country, virtuous, and not jealous. She managed the harem, supported her husband, and raised her children, and was a model of ancient women…

Speaking of which, if it weren’t for the Empress’s kindness, poor little Feng Yuanji would have died long ago.

He just doesn’t understand why the late Emperor hated such a good Empress so much, and even refused to make her son the crown prince until his death… leading to the massacre by Feng Yuanchong on his way to the throne.

To some extent, Lin Ziran felt that she was quite pitiful, but fortunately, she had a capable son, and now being the Empress Dowager, she was considered a winning in life.

As for Feng Yuanji, although he was raised by the Empress’s side and had the same food, clothing, and expenses as Feng Yuanchong, he was inferior to Feng Yuanchong in every way. He had a reckless and absurd personality and liked to seek pleasure. He was simply to compare with Feng Yuanchong…

But judging from his previous dealings with Feng Yuanji, although Feng Yuanji was indeed absurd, he was by no means a truly incompetent idiot.

As we all know, fools are not qualified to rebel.

Could it be that the child knows how to keep a low profile at such a young age?

Then reverse inference, Feng Yuanji behaved like this just to protect himself. Even though the Empress was a good person, he didn’t want to get involved in the fight for the throne. He was very self-aware, so he asked to leave the capital after Feng Yuanchong ascended the throne. Facts also proved that his behavior was right. Feng Yuanji is the only Didi of Feng Yuanchong who is still alive now…

Unfortunately, he ended up on the path of rebellion and died without a complete body.

It’s ridiculous and sad. Since you thought it through so clearly from the beginning, why didn’t you just endure it?

If you don’t rebel, you won’t die.

Soon, everyone was there, and the time had come. Feng Yuanchong personally supported the Empress Dowager over.

Filial piety is the most important virtue, and Feng Yuanchong set an example by himself, which has always been highly praised.

Everyone presented gifts, and Lin Ziran naturally prepared a gift as well. Li Ji was not a person who liked to stand out, so he just prepared a gift casually, a pair of precious blood corals, which were very valuable but not conspicuous here.

Qi Xuan also prepared a gift for the Empress Dowager, which was a painting he drew himself with a poem written below. The good painting and calligraphy won praise from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

Although he was just a hostage, Feng Yuanchong gave him a face. As the heaven above country, he naturally had to be magnanimous and tolerant so as to appease people, right?

Lin Ziran held the wine glass with little interest. He didn’t like such boring occasions.

Fortunately, after the previous formalities were over, the banquet started to be more casual, with people chatting and laughing in groups of three or four.

Lin Ziran was about to get up and go out for some fresh air when he suddenly saw a pair of black boots appear in front of him. He looked up and met Feng Yuanji’s deep eyes.

Feng Yuanji smiled at him, with a meaningful smile in his eyes: “Li Daren is here too, benwang will toast you a glass.”

Lin Ziran thought of what happened last time and immediately showed anger. He stood up and was about to leave, as if he didn’t want to look at Feng Yuanji anymore!

Feng Yuanji grabbed his wrist with a nostalgic expression and said affectionately: “After saying goodbye last time, benwang couldn’t stop thinking about you, but you left as soon as you saw benwang… Wasn’t that too cruel and heartless?”

That’s enough of you!

Don’t you see that some people are already watching this joke ?

Lin Ziran glared at him and shouted in a low voice: “Let go!”

“Benwang is sincere to you, but you went to complain to HuangXiong, saying that benwang was disrespectful to you, and benwang was punished by HuangXiong…” Feng Yuanji not only didn’t let go, but also took advantage of him and hugged his waist. He said affectionate words, but his face was full of sarcasm, and he sneered: “You broke Benwang’s heart…”

Fuck you–if you want to embarrass yourself, don’t drag me into it!

Did I provoke you?

Lin Ziran’s face turned black. You are forcing me to take action!

Lin Ziran suddenly shook off Feng Yuanji’s hand and swung his palm towards him!

Feng Yuanji quickly dodged to the side, and while dodging he did not forget to tease him, saying with a chuckle: “You have such a bad temper, you should have the same spirit in bed…”

Lin Ziran: Die for LaoZi!

Although the two were outside, the movement still attracted everyone’s attention.

“I heard that Jing Wang flirted with Li Daren in public a few days ago…”

“They’re not really into it, are they?”

“How is that possible? These two have never gotten along. I think Jing Wang is trying to embarrass him on purpose.”

“Jing Wang was probably punished by the Emperor, so he was dissatisfied and came here for revenge…”

“They are both the Emperor’s right-hand men, but they are like water and fire.”

Lin Ziran couldn’t help but frown. He made several fierce moves, but Feng Yuanji just dodged and didn’t fight back. He even teased him from time to time. Lin Ziran showed an angry look and was about to lose face… Suddenly he saw Feng Yuanchong coming over!

Lin Ziran suddenly withdrew his hand and said respectfully: “Your Majesty.”

Feng Yuanchong had seen it a long time ago, but he waited until now to come over. He looked at Feng Yuanji with a frown on his face and said slowly: “Yuanji, you are too ridiculous.”

Feng Yuanji looked nonchalant, raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily: “Why? Does HuangXiong feel sorry for your people?”

Seeing him like this, Feng Yuanchong scolded him in a deep voice: “Enough, you are making trouble without considering the occasion!”

Feng Yuanji’s expression changed slightly. He swept his cold eyes over Lin Ziran and said to Feng Yuanchong, dissatisfied: “He doesn’t know what’s good for him! I was just joking with him. For such a small matter, he actually went to complain to you, HuangXiong, and…”

Feng Yuanchong interrupted him angrily before he could finish: “You did something wrong, but you still think you are right?”

Feng Yuanji’s face was tense, and he seemed unwilling to admit his mistake, but in the end he shrugged and said: “I was wrong, HuangXiong, please calm down.”

Seeing this, Feng Yuanchong’s expression eased slightly. He pondered for a moment and said: “No matter what grudge you have with Li Ji, you must be careful of your status and don’t do anything that will bring shame to the royal family…”

Feng Yuanji said unwillingly: “Yes.”

Feng Yuanchong said calmly: “Go and talk to the Empress Dowager. She misses you.”

Feng Yuanji didn’t even look at Lin Ziran again, and turned away.

The storm finally subsided, and the others did not dare to look any further and turned their eyes away.

Lin Ziran bowed again and said: “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Feng Yuanchong looked at him with a gentle expression and said: “Gu didn’t discipline him well, and let him frighten you.”

Lin Ziran shook his head: “It’s okay.”

Feng Yuanchong looked at him, his eyes slightly moving. In fact, he had seen everything Feng Yuanji had done just now. It seemed that Feng Yuanji was really at odds with Li Ji, and he could even make a scene here without caring about his face at all… Maybe he was angry with Li Ji because of the Zheng family’s affairs, so he deliberately embarrassed him in public…

His Didi looks ridiculous, but he is not that simple…

Even he was almost deceived by him.

Feng Yuanchong looked at the man in front of him again. His handsome and feminine face was even more noticeable because of his anger. He looked cold, charming and seductive… Suddenly, an absurd idea came to his mind. He wanted to throw away all his worries and approach the man as recklessly as Feng Yuanji did just now…

But if that were the case, even if this person couldn’t refuse, he would probably hate him in his heart, and he would lose a capable subordinate.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuanchong suppressed the thoughts that were about to arise in his heart, nodded and smiled gently: “It’s good you’re not angry.”

Lin Ziran lowered his eyes: “Chen doesn’t dare.”

Feng Yuanchong smiled and turned to leave.

Lin Ziran breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about the plot. Feng Yuanji’s disturbance just now was an accident. He actually had a mission today!

It was at this banquet that Feng Yuanchong was amazed by Qi Xuan’s literary talent and developed other thoughts about him. Seeing that Li Ji was taking care of Qi Xuan in every way, he became jealous and directly summoned Qi Xuan to stay in the palace under the pretext of discussing poetry and philosophy.

So today’s scene is very important, Qi Xuan is about to enter the palace to start the palace fight!

After entering the palace, the relationship between the top and bottom will develop rapidly.

Although the incident just now was a bit sudden, it did not hinder Lin Ziran’s determination to complete the task. He quickly locked onto target, Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan was unfamiliar with the place and was aloof and arrogant, so he didn’t fit in. He just sat quietly in the corner. Even though there was such a commotion just now, he remained motionless and ignored it.

Lin Ziran didn’t get close to him. He just stood under a tree about ten meters away from Qi Xuan, staring at him silently with an extremely deep and affectionate gaze! He wanted to put all his emotions into his eyes!

Acting by expression in eyes

Lin Ziran used too much force, and his eyes were so dry from exhaustion that he almost burst into tears…

Let me see, let me see, let me see!

【Lin Ziran: Did Feng Yuanchong notice us?】He was so tired of watching, but he didn’t dare to look back. He didn’t even know if the main character noticed him after all this time…

【System: Don’t worry… he is watching.】

【Lin Ziran: That’s good! 】

Qi Xuan in front of him was unaware of anything.

Ten meters away, Lin Ziran watched affectionately.

Sitting on a high seat in the distance, Feng Yuanchong’s eyes were slightly cold.

He was just busy reprimanding Feng Yuanji, but he almost forgot one thing. Li Ji never liked Feng Yuanji. The one he cherished was Qi Xuan.

Even though Qi Xuan didn’t like him, he still protected him silently…

Feng Yuanchong suddenly felt a little regretful. He had asked Li Ji to take good care of Qi Xuan. If he had known that Li Ji would fall in love with Qi Xuan, he would never have let Li Ji take care of Qi Xuan.

Li Ji can dislike him, but he can’t like others either.

………………

When the banquet was over and Lin Ziran left, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Whether the rest of the plot can go on smoothly depends on Feng Yuanchong’s efforts. After all, he has done what he can…

Lin Ziran was worried. After all, he had experienced too many disastrous defeats before. If Feng Yuanchong did not summon Qi Xuan to the palace today…

Because he was too worried about the plot, Lin Ziran was restless until the afternoon, when his spy in Qi Mansion informed him: The Emperor asked Eunuch Pei to convey the order to allow Qi Gongzi to enter the palace.

Lin Ziran stood up suddenly, and was so surprised that he almost couldn’t hold back his expression!

Done!

The subordinate looked at Lin Ziran worriedly: “Daren?”

Lin Ziran ignored him and rode out to Qi’s residence. When he arrived, Qi Xuan was packing his things…

Lin Ziran had rehearsed this scene many times in his mind, and he performed it effortlessly.

He kicked the box on the ground open, his expression complex and restrained, and said in a deep voice: “Don’t pack up.”

Everyone knows that the current Emperor likes male beauty. Although he is discussing poetry and philosophy under the pretext of doing so, if Qi Xuan really enters the palace to accompany the Emperor, who knows how bad his reputation will be.

Li Ji thought of all the slander he had experienced. In order not to bring trouble to Qi Xuan, he even restrained himself from getting close to him… How could he bear to see Qi Xuan fall to this point?

It is not easy for Qi Xuan to come here as a hostage. Entering the palace will only make him sink deeper and deeper into this mud.

Qi Xuan must have known the consequences of entering the palace.

Lin Ziran looked distressed and said bluntly: “You shouldn’t enter the palace.”

Qi Xuan finally raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. His black eyes were as clear as black jade, and there was an indescribable look in them…

After a while, he chuckled and said calmly: “Do I have a choice?”

Seeing this, Lin Ziran seemed to be filled with pity and sadness. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: “I will go to the palace to report to the Emperor. You have caught a cold and are not feeling well. It is not appropriate for you to enter the palace in the near future.”

The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed, Qi Xuan had to go.

Lin Ziran’s words were equivalent to taking the blame for him for deceiving the Emperor. Even if Feng Yuanchong was really angry, he would not blame Qi Xuan, but only him, thinking that all this was his idea.

As Feng Yuanchong’s confidant, doing this obviously puts himself in a dangerous and disadvantageous situation.

Qi Xuan stared at Lin Ziran, then suddenly opened his thin lips and spoke in a clear voice like a spring: “Are you attracted to me?”

Lin Ziran seemed to have been hit on the point, and was speechless for a moment as he looked at him.

Qi Xuan suddenly smiled, but his eyes were indifferent. He said: “Since I came here, I know that many things are beyond my control… Moreover, whether it is you or others, what do you think and what do you want? What difference does it make to me?”

Lin Ziran’s face turned pale, but he couldn’t refute it.

Qi Xuan was right. Is it worth his happiness just because he likes him?

Himself, the Emperor, Jing Wang, the Prince of Cheng’en…the so-called love of these people…

In his opinion, all of them are things he doesn’t want.

He has no right to keep him.

At this time, Eunuch Pei, who was waiting outside, sent someone to ask: “Are you ready, Gongzi?”

Qi Xuan said: “Wait a moment.”

After saying that, he ignored Lin Ziran and continued to pack his things.

Lin Ziran looked at him with grief and sorrow, as if he was sad that he could not protect him.

Seeing Qi Xuan finished packing and passing by him, Lin Ziran suddenly spoke in a hoarse and painful voice: “Do you really have to go?”

Qi Xuan looked back at him and smiled: “You can’t protect me, and…”

Can’t give me what I want.

He paused, and left resolutely, leaving Lin Ziran with only a receding back view.

Lin Ziran stared at his back in a daze, his expression distraught.

【Lin Ziran: Woohoo, I finally sent him away. It was like a father seeing his daughter getting married. I was so happy!】

【System:……】

【Lin Ziran: But even if my daughter enters the palace, I, as a father, will not abandon her. I will not let those bad women bully her! 】

There will be a plot of his own later! Qi Xuan will meet new enemies after entering the palace, such as the arrogant Concubine Yin, the palace maids and eunuchs who bully Qi Xuan, etc. Feng Yuanchong, this bastard, doesn’t know how to know when to be cold or hot, and doesn’t care about the people in his harem, causing Qi Xuan to suffer a lot in the palace. At that time, he will need this warm-hearted male partner to protect him!

【System: … Well, come on. 】

Thinking about how the plot went so smoothly, how the top and bottom protagonists struck up a love relationship and successfully entered into cohabitation mode, Lin Ziran was so moved that he almost shed tears.

His eyes were red, and he didn’t shake his head until Qi Xuan’s carriage had left for a long time, and then he walked back ‘disappointed’.

As a result, he hadn’t walked a few steps when a man suddenly jumped down from the eaves, scaring him!

When he looked closely, he almost blacked out.

It’s Feng Yuanji again, that bastard. What’s wrong with you? Just an act. I don’t really have a grudge against you!

And who knows how long he watched it!

Fortunately, he didn’t reveal his true self just now… Wait, if he knew that he was abandoned because of his deep love, perhaps he would laugh at him again…

As expected.

Feng Yuanji smiled, crossed his arms, and gloated: “A few hours ago, benwang thought HuangXiong was on your side, but it’s been less than half a day, and he has a new love and has forgotten the old one…”

He can’t beat him and he doesn’t want to fight.

Lin Ziran simply turned cold, looking like he didn’t bother to care, and walked past him and went straight forward.

Feng Yuanji didn’t mind, and followed him leisurely, laughing: “Hey, you can’t really like Qi Xuan…”

Lin Ziran ignored him.

Feng Yuanji laughed sarcastically, his voice cold: “You are really lawless. You are so rude to benwang. You are just relying on HuangXiong to protect you. But benwang thinks your good days will come to an end after Qi Xuan enters the palace. How can HuangXiong still remember you by then…

In bewang opinion, HuangXiong doesn’t think much of you. He knows that you like Qi Xuan, but he still wants to snatch him away. It shows that he doesn’t care about your feelings at all.

How about you just follow benwang?

If you become benwang’s man, benwang will forgive your previous disrespect…”

Seeing Lin Ziran walking faster and faster, Feng Yuanji fell behind a few steps, staring at the back of the man in front of him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Although the two have always been at odds, Feng Yuanji has never actually disliked him. He only pretended to be at odds to reassure Feng Yuanchong. But it is definitely not the case that he likes him. This inhuman guy is born with a heart of stone, and he is loyal to Feng Yuanchong. He and the other person have different ideas and cannot make plans together…

Logically speaking, they were enemies after all, but because of a small accident, he became a little more curious about him.

He kept getting close to someone he shouldn’t have gotten close to.

After not seeing you for a few years, you seem a little different.

People change, so have you changed?

If nothing has changed, why let the child go?

Feng Yuanji’s eyes dimmed. He looked at the man’s back and suddenly spoke in a low voice: “Li Ji, have you ever thought about whether the person you are loyal to is worth it?”

Lin Ziran finally stopped and looked back at him in disbelief.

Is this person crazy?

With a fierce look in his eyes, he spoke in a cold voice: “Do you know what you are talking about?”
