There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 40

The soldiers rushed into the camp and detained everyone separately. Ye Zhizhou was "very lucky" to enjoy the treatment of a private jail. He looked around the inconspicuous little tent standing at the corner of the campsite. His gaze moved from the burning resin, the rug on the ground, then landed on the bowl of noodles and plate of cut fruits on the small table.

He bent down to touch it. Very good, the noodles are still hot.

He directly sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles.

"You're not scared it has poison in it?"

He rolled his eyes, not in the mood to even look at the other person. "I'm eating what you served me." I won't die from eating it anyway, Tongtian the medicine peddling system is the greatest!

Yan Mingyong was speechless. He went over to Ye Zhizhou's side, a bit unhappily. He sat down and pressed close to him, wrapping his hand around his waist. "Later on, you're not allowed to leave me for more than a day."

Ye Zhizhou plugged his mouth with a piece of cantaloupe then continued busying himself with his noodles. The Emperor's and Yan Mingyong's self-produced play troubled him all night. He was tired and hungry and didn't have the mind to humour the brat who was back with his antics.

Yan Mingyong bit the melon, looking a bit stunned and as if he wanted to spit it out. However, thinking that this is the first time Le'er fed him melon, he obediently swallowed. His head tilted seeing Ye Zhizhou gobbling up his meal, feeling a bit distressed. His arm tightened around him, "You didn't sleep the whole night? Or eat a single thing?"

Ye Zhizhou only looked up to him when he was wiping his mouth after having swallowed the last bit of noodles and soup. He pulled a long face, "You must've been deliberate yesterday, angering me so I'll go back home. What's this play you're acting out with the emperor? What about the other princes?"

"My elder brothers, third and fifth princes are catching the moles planted by seventh brother in the capital while the first and second prince are clearing up seventh brother's private army. The troops brought by Lord Lei are under Lei Baofei's management now, after tonight all of seventh brother's forces will be cleaned up. We will be able to get married and live out our lives," Yan Mingyong's rosier complexion he had spent effort cultivating was back to pale colouring, his exhaustion appeared on his face. "Afterwards the struggle for that position will no longer have anything to do with us. Whoever comes to power in the end, the House of Zhen Guo will remain as it is now. Le'er, you can rest assured."

Ye Zhizhou looked at the dark shadows under his eyes, in an instant all the fury in him dissipated. He sighed as he hugged Yan Mingyong sideways and stroked his long hair, "Because you're still so young, I thought you can grow up slowly with me by your side..." In the end he still received his lover's care and protection... He was too useless.

"I've grown up." Yan Mingyong smiled because he finally got Ye Zhizhou to pay attention to him. He intimately rubbed against the other's neck and arched into his embrace. "Le'er, you're so good. You're mine, only mine. How can you be this good? I like you so much."

Ye Zhizhou couldn't stop his own smile at his lover being like this. He pulled on his hair gently and patted on his back, "Alright, sleep for now, I'm with you."

In his arms Yan Mingyong nodded to his chest and contentedly closed his eyes, quickly falling asleep.

In a villa outside the capital, Lei Baofei kicked open the prison gate and led the elite soldier's charge. He yelled, "Count how many are locked in and confirm their identity one by one, write down their names, take them to the ministry of justice."
