The Elegant Dancing Years By Huo Li (火狸) | BL

Chapter 15 | Bathing Together

In the room full of blood, Qi Xutian and Chief Liu did not speak a word and watched the little child kill Jing Huang. At this time, Qi Mingyue stood in the pool of blood, with his lips hooked into a mocking smile towards Jing Huang's light enemies. The moonlight outside the window cast an extraordinary shadow through him, making his small figure reveal the coldness of the moon. Chief Liu looked at him and suddenly understood why His Majesty would treat His Highness differently, and quietly exited through the door. He felt that His Majesty didn't need him to serve at the moment.

Qi Mingyue first found the antidote from his robe and took it. Slowly, he raised his head and looked at Qi Xutian who was approaching him with an excessively soft smile on his face. "Sure enough, the play arranged by Father was absolutely brilliant, but you forgot to tell me that your child was also a part of the play. Now that the play is over, I wonder if Father Emperor is satisfied?"

Qi Xutian found out that he claimed to be his "child", and his heart couldn't help but feel tight. Seeing that his hair and robe were covered in the blood of others, he frowned again, "MingEr's body is dirty, I will take you to bathe." For some reason, he couldn't stand the alienation and couldn't bear to see him stained in other people's blood.

He held him and walked all the way to the bath beside the bedroom chamber, the steam was hot and humid. Qi Mingyue couldn't help but exhale lightly. Why did he choose to return to the palace even after knowing that he was being used? Was it just so he could find asylum and learn the ability to protect himself before growing up?

Waving back the palace attendants, Qi Xutian first loosened his clothes for him, then untied his robe, unfurled his hair, and washed the blood on his face with water, Qi Xutian gazed at the silent child. Qi Mingyue said, "Father Emperor, I really don't know how to deal with you."

His silky, wet black hair was scattered, which made Qi Xutian's dazzling and beautiful face even more charming. He held Qi Mingyue in his arms. Qi Mingyue looked intently into his deep eyes and his eyes cleared slightly. "Let me speak for you. In order to get rid of Fenghua Palace and Consort Hua, Father Emperor had long wanted to choose a prince to make good use of. You found me and wanted Tan Wu to say something at the feast that would make your favour towards me more convincing, but ironically, I turned out to be just like you. I wonder if there was even a little hesitance in your heart at that time?"

Qi Xutian lightly pecked at the corner of his mouth, "What MingEr said is right, I didn't expect you to be so special. I really hesitated. I didn't know whether to choose you or another prince, so, until the last moment, I felt hesitant." He stretched his hands and applied some soap to his head.

"That prince was Lianshuo." How could he not know the one who was favoured before?

Qi Xutian carefully lathered his hair with soap for him, "Lianshuo is also a clever child, but still just a child. He can't compare to you. You make me want to always tie you around to pamper and love all the time."

"It turns out that Father's sweet words to his son are so nice." Was he like those harem concubines who were brainless? How could he trust him easily?

Qi Xutian listened to his words, his face changed, and a wave of deep anger appeared in his eyes. The anger made Qi Mingyue stiffen. Suddenly, the handsome face in front of him enlarged, his lips were covered with scorching heat. Kissing his lips, Qi Xutian licked and nibbled on them, and whispered against his lips, "Don't let me hear you claiming to be like this again. It's impossible for us to be pure father and son." Withdrawing his lips, the tip of his tongue gently licked his ears and left behind a sense of damp heat, he sighed, "It's all MingEr's fault. Who told you to look like that? Wielding a sharp weapon standing in a pool of blood, it was so cruel and exciting, and that expression on your small face was even more breathtaking. I almost couldn't stop myself from pushing you down on the bed. Do you know, my child?"
