Chapter 24 | Affection

Pushing the hair on his neck aside, Qi Xutian whispered in his ear. The body of the youth in his arms was cool and their bodies fit tightly against each other. Qi Mingyue probably felt the heat coming from him and shrank into his arms further. He unconsciously groped around on the sheets until he touched Qi Xutian's long strands of hair, only then did a trace of calmness appear on his face.

Qi Xutian was relieved when he saw him gradually calm down after grasping his hair. He still called his name from time to time, and at this moment, he finally realized that for him, MingEr had become a more important existence than he had previously thought. Not only did he want his whole person, but he also wanted him to only belong to himself.

When he saw the ambiguous scene of him and Jiang Yao on the couch in Ranxin Pavilion, the killing intent that suddenly rose within his heart was something he hadn't expected. At that moment, he realised that MingEr might entangle physically with someone else in the future. Thinking of that scene again, he really wanted to kill Jiang Yao and not just crush her wrist.

He understood that this was anger but he couldn't stop feeling it at the bottom of his heart. Although MingEr was willing to be intimate with him, it was not a commitment. If someday, MingEr had someone else that he wanted, he could only be his Father Emperor and nothing else.

He tightened his arms around the young man at that thought. He knew that the feeling growing in his chest was called jealousy but he also knew that in this life, MingEr could only belong to him.

"Father..." A hoarse whisper came from the young man in his arms as his fine eyelashes trembled before he opened his eyes. His gaze was full of dissatisfaction. "Was it Jiang Yao's guqin?" It was phrased like a question, but his tone appeared quite certain.

Unexpectedly, when he finally woke up, Jiang Yao was mentioned. Qi Xutian's eyes clouded, he tightened his arms even further and held him firmly in his arms. "MingEr only remembers that Jiang Yao? Your Father is right in front of you, but you didn't even ask half a sentence about how I brought you back?"

"What can I ask? Presumably, you saw me not returning, so you went to search. You saw that I was so careless, was held up by someone because of guqin sounds and brought me back. But I don't know why the Empress has such an ability? Why did she target me? Can you solve this puzzle for Mingyue?" When he woke up, he felt annoyed because of his own carelessness at that time. If he was in the enemy's hands, his body would already be cold by this time.

After telling him about the power of Nian Chen, Qi Xutian caressed the kiss mark left on his neck. He had intentionally left it deep but didn't expect it to be seen by her. "She must have seen this. She wanted to lure you with the guqin sounds and make you confess the real situation but she didn't know your uniqueness and you suffered this pain. It was my fault that I didn't tell you the Empress' origin earlier."

It should be because he had ended up loosening his robes when he felt hot under the sun before he went in to meet her. Qi Mingyue raised his eyebrows, as he continued to play with Qi Xutian's hair, he asked with a pair of teasing yet inquisitive eyes, "Are there even more such special concubines in the harem?"

Qi Xutian chuckled, "If that's the case, then what will you do?"

"All of them are sent out, then another batch comes to interfere." He replied with a calm expression, then sneered. "It would be too chaotic in the palace and that's not the kind of place I want to live in. It's too troublesome to deal with them and I don't have time to waste. If they're similar to Consort Hua, then it would be better to just remove them directly and save some trouble."

"Fortunately, there were only these two in the harem and both of them met MingEr. Except Jiang Yao is different from Jing Fenghua, she is my person."
