Handsome Broken Legged Little Military Advisor [15]
When he heard this "joking" Yan Jingyi really laughed. He said coldly, "Zhen[1] actually is curious as well, in this Yan Country, who still can say that Zhen is joking?"
Chen Liguo said in a plain tone, "The Emperor"s words are worth nine sacred tripods[2], this subject truly is not confident that Your Majesty"s words are truly for deceiving this subject."
In a single moment, there was no longer "you" and "me", but the Emperor and subject.
Yan Jingyi said, "You come over."
Chen Liguo licked his lips and slid the wheelchair before Yan Jingyi.
Yan Jingyi looked down at Chen Liguo from above, not an ounce of warmth in his eyes and seemed very cold. He coldly spat out two words, "Kneel down."
Because of his body, Chen Liguo had always been exempt from kneeling, but today Yan Jingyi ordered him to kneel. Chen Liguo lowered his head and moved his body with his hands. After tossing about for a time, he finally kneeled on the ground with his powerless legs.
"Lord Ji." Yan Jingyi said, "Zhen is very disappointed in you."
"This subject just wishes to know, how has this subject disappointed Your Majesty?" Chen Liguo"s entire expression was still indifferent, unmoved.
"Since you like Huige, why don"t you ask her to marry you? And instead, let her be demoted into a commoner?" Yan Jingyi"s tone implied anger. He felt that he seemed to have discovered a fact, a very terrible fact, but one that he needed to accept.
"This subject only has pity for princess Huige, there is no love." Chen Liguo said.
"Oh?" Yan Jingyi had a faint smile on his face and said, "Then since you two do not have the relationship of that between men and women, then what is this?"
He said this, throwing down a hairpin before Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo looked closer and found that the hairpin was the memento of princess Huige"s mother which he had received from the p.a.w.nshop. He wanted to give this to Huige as a surprise on her wedding day, but he didn"t expect that it would be discovered by Yan Jingyi.
"Was it Le Qi?" Chen Liguo raised his head and asked one question.
Yan Jingyi said coldly, "Not him. The spies around you are more than you think." The implication was that although Chen Liguo avoided Le Qi, every time he went to the palace to meet Huige, it was known by Yan Jingyi.
Everything Chen Liguo did for Yan Zhiyao, in Yan Jingyi"s eyes, became a matter of familiarity breeds fondness that he couldn"t accept.
"What exactly does Your Majesty want to say?" Chen Liguo saw that Yan Jingyi"s anger was not light and sighed.
"Why don"t you marry?" When he saw Chen Liguo"s calm expression of hearing but not listening, the anger that burned in Yan Jingyi"s heart became stronger, he grudgingly tolerated it and asked coldly.
"This subject"s body is disabled, even if this one becomes a relative, it would only drag others down." Whether it was demeanor or tone, Chen Liguo was very indifferent when saying this, as if he were talking about someone else"s matter.
"So it turned out to be like this." Yan Jingyi smiled coldly and repeated it again, "It turned out to be like this."
Before Chen Liguo could he react, he saw him suddenly violently raise his hand and all the memorials on the table were flung to the ground: "Ji Shang, Zhen actually didn"t realize that you actually think like this."
Chen Liguo was kneeling on the ground uncomfortable then Yan Jingyi grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Liguo"s eyes widened, his entire person tightly hugged by Yan Jingyi,
"Zhen had asked why you wanted to help Yan Zhiyao……he, it"s funny to say, I actually thought you wanted to take her after she became a commoner." Yan Jingyi said, "Zhen didn"t even think, a person like you, how would you take advantage of another"s perilous state?"
Chen Liguo"s face was white, and said calmly, "What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Do you know that she likes the imperial bodyguard by her side?" Yan Jingyi caressed Chen Liguo"s cheeks and sighed in his ear, "Do you know that she had already given her body to him?"
Chen Liguo said angrily, "Your Majesty please conduct yourself with dignity!"
"Conduct with dignity?" Yan Jingyi burst out laughing and placed Chen Liguo on the desk where he had been handling the memorials. He looked at Chen Liguo"s cheeks that were flushed with anger and said fiercely, "Say, if Yan Zhiyao knew that you are like this, would you still be able to conduct yourself with dignity?"
Chen Liguo trembled, this one sentenced seemed to pierce him to death.
"Ji Shang ah Ji Shang, you are smart, yet you can do such stupid things." Yan Jingyi was like as cold as ice as he stared at the person in front of him, he said, "Yes, she"s not dead and is still living, are you not very happy?"
Ji Shang pushed the person in front of him powerlessly. His eyes were full of angry flames as if he wanted to swallow Yan Jingyi down to his bones.
Yan Jingyi said, "Ji Shang, Zhen wants you to watch her put on her wedding dress and enter the bridal chambers."
Chen Liguo whined as if he could not bear to hear Yan Jingyi say another word.
Yan Jingyi said, "Zhen still wants you to see her lead a rich life full of children and grandchildren, Zhen wants to see, in the end, whether you regret or not!"
The palace servants outside the study all had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads. They listened to the indistinct voices and wished that they could plug their ears.
It was never a good thing to know too many things in the palace, especially the secrets that the emperor was unwilling to let more people know the secret.
The sun fell and rose again, and the people who stood overnight heard a sentence from the study: "Come, bring over a long blanket."
Shortly after the blanket was set in, they say the emperor come out of the study with an expressionless face, holding something with a human shape, evidently the person who entered the room the day before.
"Clean up." The Emperor said carelessly, "Then prepare some hot soup."
After the emperor went to his sleeping chamber, all the servants who watched over the study were summoned and carefully instructed. It was called instructed, but it was more like a warning: if the palace servants let any rumors run free, then their little lives, they didn"t want it anymore.
Chen Liguo felt that in this world about one third, no, two-thirds of his time was spent sleeping.
As it turns out, Chen Liguo really was thinking too much, for he the change to wake up never came—Yan Jingyi didn"t know what to do, and actually became muddled-headed for a dozen days. In these dozen days, Chen Liguo"s brain was like paste and although he felt that his body was awake, his consciousness was blurred out, what Yan Jingyi told him to do, he did. This feeling was very strange and Chen Liguo even suspected that he had been hypnotized.
After a long time, Chen Liguo asked the system why he didn"t wake him up even though he was in this sort of circ.u.mstance. The system was silent for a while, then said, "I feel that when you don"t talk it"s pretty good."
Chen Liguo："……"
System: "And furthermore, Yan Zhiyao"s situation has been pretty good."
Chen Liguo: "….." System, love me once more.
When you not only have a fierce enemy, but also a teammate who is unwilling to save you, the situation is fundamentally very bad.
Chen Liguo finally regained some consciousness after maintaining a state similar to that of an out-of-body soul for more than a dozen days.
However, when his consciousness slowly recovered, Chen Liguo felt a sense of horror, for he could not see anything. His body had no strength to even raise his hand and there were the sounds of gongs, drums, and saunas in his ears—these sounds mixed together to make a joyful tune, it sounded festive and lively.
Chen Liguo opened his mouth and found that he couldn"t speak, only able to let out a slight whimper.
After a while, his body almost completely regained consciousness and Chen Liguo felt as though he was in a sedan chair, shaking a moving.
Chen Liguo said as though dying and at his last gasp, "System, have I offended Yan Jingyi?"
System："……"
Chen Liguo sobbed, "Is he intending to carry me into the grave?"
System: "Yes."
Chen Liguo: "……f.u.c.k, it can"t be."
The system said profoundly: "Marriage is the grave of love."
Before Chen Liguo could respond, he heard a woman"s harsh singing around him: "Welcome the bride!"
The next moment, Chen Liguo"s eyes distinctly sensed the light, his two hands were being held up, then his entire person was lifted stiffly——just like how one would raise a doll.
"Cross the fire brazier[3]——" Hearing this sentence, Chen Liguo was slow to react to what was going on. He blinked sharply and there was an impossible hypothesis in his mind—could it be that he was attending a wedding?
Ancient weddings were supposed to be tedious and long, but this one that Chen Liguo was partic.i.p.ating in evidently simplified many of the procedures. After crossing the fire brazier, he was forced to by someone to walk a long way, then a voice rang out, "Bow to heaven and earth."
Chen Liguo had gooseb.u.mps all over his body. He thought it should be that Yan Jingyi suddenly had a brain problem and wanted to marry him off to someone else by force!
But before Chen Liguo could spit out an ‘as it should be by rights[4]", the three bows quickly ended. Although someone had been supporting Chen Liguo to do the bows, Chen Liguo still had a change from dumbfoundedness to sadness, then from sadness to anger.
Chen Liguo: "s.h.i.t! Yan Jingyi is mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded!”
System："……"
Chen Liguo: "I"m not going to be with him anymore!"
System："……"
Chen Liguo thought about then felt that he was taking the short end of the stick. He changed his tone, "I"ll be with him one last time, then break up and leave."
System："……"
Chen Liguo: "Baby, why aren"t you talking again?"
The system was cold and indifferent. It said, "I"m tired."
Chen Liguo still wanted to say something but heard a sentence: "Send into the bridal chambers—"
He was very discouraged in his heart, only thinking about how to explain to the girl later on. He was a man who didn"t care about reputation and integrity, but it was a pity for the girl who was implicated by him.
During this period, Chen Liguo"s medication also wore off a lot. After he was sent to the bed to sit down, he asked quietly, "Is anyone there?"
No one answered.
Is the bride too shy to speak? Chen Liguo was puzzled and asked again, "Is anybody there?"
Still, no one answered, but Chen Liguo suddenly perceived a bright light before him, it seemed that the black cloth covering his eyes were taken off. For a moment, he couldn"t adapt to the strong light and momentarily some tears made his eyes hazy.
But when his eyes adapted to the light and he saw the scene clearly, Chen Liguo was shocked.
Yan Jingyi stood before him——this was not the most surprising thing for him, but the most surprising was that Yan Jingyi was wearing wedding clothes. Smiling and looking at him with a sly look.
Chen Liguo: "???" Love comes too soon like a tornado??
Yan Jingyi didn"t talk and simply turned around and took the wine on the table. After pouring two cups, he handed Chen Liguo a cup.
Chen Liguo looked at the wine in Yan Jingyi"s hand and didn"t move for a long time.
Yan Jingyi gently said, "Ziqing."
Ziqing is Ji Shang"s name. Yan Jingyi had never called him out in a friendly way like this before. Today as soon as he said this, that low voice made Chen Liguo"s body numb and he swallowed his saliva.
Yan Jingyi said, "I know that you are angry, but today is a day of great joy for us. Other rights have been skimped on, but this nuptial wine absolutely cannot be skimped on."
As Yan Jingyi said this, Chen Liguo found that he too was wearing wedding clothes—Just Yan Jingyi was wearing the groom"s and he was wearing the bride"s.
Although the bronze mirror placed at the table was not clear, it still reflected a charming face. Although it was ordinarily a gentle face, because of the rouge and the drawn eyebrows, it appeared charming and moving.
Chen Liguo thought in his heart that sure enough makeup is the second life of a woman.
Yan Jingyi saw that Chen Liguo was not talking, he sat next to him and said, "Today two simultaneous happy events happen in one family."
Chen Liguo said, "Two happy events?"
Yan Jingyi smiled, "Today is Yan Zhiyao"s wedding."
Chen Liguo"s first reaction was that his gift money[5] hasn"t yet been sent out, then does that mean he gets to keep it? His second reaction whether Yan Zhiyao getting married meant that he needed the world. His third reaction was——Yan Zhiyao is getting married, so why is he wearing a wedding gown??
Yan Jingyi said, "I had people calculate and today is indeed an auspicious day. That being the case, it would be better to have our wedding with hers."
Chen Liguo: "……" This is why Yan Jingyi had rendered him unconscious for more than a dozen days? Just because he wanted to choose an auspicious day? He can"t accept this reason! He doesn"t like the style of this dress! He wants to choose himself!
Yan Jingyi said, "Ziqing, let"s drink the wine."
It was then that Chen Liguo slowly came out from his indignation. He looked at Yan Jingyi before him, dressed in red, eyes full of tenderness. He felt that he could never get tired of looking, so he reached out his hand and held the cup of nuptial wine.
The wine was naturally good wine. Though it was a little strong and because Chen Liguo had not touched wine for a long time because of his physical problems, with one drink, his face became red.
He said, "Why should you do this?[6]"
Yan Jingyi said, "After today, you are my person, this is your own choice, you can"t blame me."
Chen Liguo sighed, "I have never blamed you."
"I know, I know." Yan Jingyi gently licked the wine stains at the corner of Chen Liguo"s mouth, his tone yielding and soft, "Ziqing this country is your home……"
Chen Liguo panted slightly and felt his body start to heat up. He quickly figured that there was something in the wine for him to become like this.
Yan Jingyi said, "Ziqing, I"m so happy."
Chen Liguo"s body was weak and he fell into the bed with a single push from Yan Jingyi"s hand. He coughed and said, "I don"t understand."
"I don"t understand either." Yan Jingyi climbed atop of him, tied Chen Liguo"s hands atop his head with a pre-prepared red silk strand then said seriously, "Undoubtedly. It was just interest in the beginning, but after tasting that flavor, I haven"t forgotten even after three years."
Chen Liguo turned his head over, biting his lips.
Yan Jingyi said, "I thought it was because I didn"t taste enough——but when I returned, I tasted enough, but I am even more reluctant to let go. Ziqing, say, what should I do?"
"You are the emperor." Chen Liguo said faintly, "What to do, how do you still need others to think of decisions for you?"
"Yes." Yan Jingyi said, "So, Ziqing, you won"t blame me will you?"
Chen Liguo said, "Thunder and dew, both are the emperor"s grace.” He said this indifferently, but in Yan Jingyi"s ears, there was more than a hint of sarcasm.
Ji Shang, who could have shined at court, really was ruined by him. Not only did he take his body, but he also erased his existence.
Yan Jingyi said, "You don"t hate?"
Chen Liguo said, "Hate what?"
Yan Jingyi said, "Hate me, hate Great Yan, hate the ways of the world that ruined you."
Chen Liguo quieted down and thought silently in his heart, clearly, this is your pot, the world is innocent.
Yan Jingyi said, "Why don"t you talk?"
Chen Liguo said, "I don"t hate." He said this calmly for this indeed was true to the emotion in his heart. But unfortunately, it was precisely this sort of att.i.tude that made Yan Jingyi feel completely intolerable.
Having ruined a person, naturally, it would be impossible to ask for their love. But hate, he can"t even gain his hate. For a time, Yan Jingyi hated the indifference of the person before him.
But very soon, Yan Jingyi laughed. He said, "Ziqing, then let me see just how tolerant you can be."
The nuptial wine fermented in the body, red waved boiled, it seemed to be a very good night.
Chen Liguo looked at the dazzling red color atop his head as Yan Jingyi kissed his lips, calling lowly, Ziqing, Ziqing.
Chen Liguo was called back to his mind by this name. He thought, he was not Ji Shang nor Ziqing, so he could only sigh in his heart that the days of having a s.e.xual life would be good.
Chen Liguo thought that he returned to his original world, he could also pat that certain someone on the chest and say, "I, this father has done it with other people, this father doesn"t care for you the least bit."
Yan Jingyi didn"t know what Chen Liguo was thinking in his mind at the moment. He couldn"t wait to rub the flesh and blood of the person before in so that he couldn"t leave for a moment.
One night later, the sun was high up in the sky.
Chen Liguo was kissed awake by Yan Jingy. After he woke up, he was still somewhat muddled-headed and it wasn"t until Yan Jingyi slowly picked him up that he slowly recovered his spirit.
"Ziqing." Yan Jingyi touched Chen Liguo"s cheek and said softly, "Did you have a good time yesterday?"
Chen Liguo said nothing, but a blush emerged on his face.
Yan Jingyi saw this and smiled, "I also have a gift for you."
Chen Liguo suddenly had a very very bad feeling.
Yan Jingyi said, "Hold on a minute."
After he said that, he put Chen Liguo onto the bed, got up, and walked to a cabinet not far from the bed.
Chen Liguo: "……" My G.o.d, he seems to have guessed the plot.
Yan Jingyi raised his hand and opened the cabinet door. Before Chen Liguo could see what was in the cabinet, he seemed to hear a sound coming from it.
It was Yan Zhiyao"s low cry and hearing it made Chen Liguo"s heart ache.
Chen Liguo froze on the bed.
Yan Jingyi turned to look at him, smiled, then called out, "Ziqing."
Chen Liguo ignored Yan Jingyi and called out, "……..System."
System: "…..Hmmm?"
Chen Liguo, "…….Yan Zhiyao is not yet completely eighteen, seeing these things, shouldn"t it be mosaiced?"
System: "She didn"t see it."
Chen Liguo: "……Then……"
System unhesitatingly said, "She heard it."
Chen Liguo："……"
The system said, "There is currently no Mosaic for audio."
Chen Liguo: "……" Oof.
Chen Liguo was felt quite sad, so sad he couldn"t speak.
Yan Jingyi naturally saw that Chen Liguo was very upset. He walked over and picked up Chen Liguo, saying, “Ziqing, do you have anything you want to say to her?”
Chen Liguo finally spoke out, he said, "Zhiyao, don"t cry, I am willing." When he said this sentence, Chen Liguo was taking a huge risk, for if the system judged that this sentence violated Ji Shang"s character, then he would be removed from the world.
Fortunately, Chen Liguo was still here.
Chen Liguo said, "I like him……Zhiyao….."
Yan Zhiyao didn"t seem to hear what Chen Liguo said. She keeps sobbing, seeming like she wanted to say something.
Chen Liguo said, "How about you let her go."
Yan Jingyi actually listened to Chen Liguo and released Yan Zhiyao.
Yan Zhiyao was released from her binds, but she did not stand up and knelt on the ground, covering her face and trembling.
Chen Liguo said, "Be good, don"t cry anymore." He was thinking about how to comfort Yan Zhiyao who had been badly stimulated, but Yan Zhiyao actually stood up and spat in the direction of where he was sitting with Yan Jingyi and shouted, "Disgusting!"
Chen Liguo: "….." Don"t be like this, if you be like this I"m going to cry.
Yan Zhiyao saw Chen Liguo"s face turn pale, but her expression only became more and more disdainful. She said coldly, "I heard before that you were having an affair with my Emperor brother. I thought it was just a rumor and that someone was slandering you, but I didn"t expect—Ji Shang, you"re actually the sort of person who sells their body."
Chen Liguo: "……" He went through many scenarios, but he never thought that the plot would develop in this direction.
Yan Zhiyao smiled coldly and said, "Many thanks Emperor brother for letting me realize how nauseating this man truly is."
Chen Liguo silently looked at Yan Jingyi and saw that although he was calm, his eyes were shocked. Obviously, he did not expect Yan Zhiyao to make such a scene. The originally imagined scene of a bitter couple weeping together was completely a delusion.
Chen Liguo saw Yan Jingyi"s eyes sweep over and immediately made an expression of having suffered a grievance.
Yan Jingyi turned his eyes and said angrily, "Roll out."
Yan Zhiyao was stunned, nodded her head and said yes, then went straight out.
When Yan Zhiyao went out, Chen Liguo said quietly, "I had already said, I don"t like her."
Yan Jingyi seemed embarra.s.sed, coughed and said, "Then why did you keep her hairpin."
Chen Liguo sighed, "I just take her as a dear sister and that hairpin was something she had asked me to find."
Yan Jingyi："……"
Chen Liguo said bitterly, "Why are you doing this to me? Why must you let her know about this? Don"t tell me that you absolutely must ruin me……before you will be happy?"
Yan Jingyi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I didn"t expect……"
Chen Liguo laughed bitterly, a stream of clear tears ran down his cheeks. He said, "Forget it, forget it, I have since long been ruined by you."
Yan Jingyi saw him cry bitterly, reached out to hug Chen Liguo tightly and murmured, "Don"t be angry, I just wanted you two to break up……Little did I know that she is actually such a person."
Chen Liguo sensitively heard Yan Jingyi"s dislike for Yan Zhiyao in his tone and hurriedly said, "Don"t make things difficult for her, don"t forget what you promised me before, that she would lead a rich life full of children and grandchildren."
Yan Jingyi said, "I promised you, naturally it will happen."
Chen Liguo breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Jingyi said, "But this matter of her insulting you, I can"t just let it go."
Chen Liguo said in his heart don"t, you have insulted me so many times, I will not let that go. You put me in women"s clothes without even discussing it with me, would I have a good mood?
Chen Liguo said, "Just forget it."
Yan Jingyi touched Chen Liguo"s cheek. He wanted to say something but found that Chen Liguo"s cheeks were not the right temperature. He touched again and found that Chen Liguo had a fever.
Yan Jingyi said, "You have a fever, I"ll go get the doctor, you obediently lie in bed."
Chen Liguo didn’t answer, he was indeed a little bit tired and obediently lay on the bed.
After Yan Jingyi went out, Chen Liguo questioned the system. He said, "System, why is the woman of destiny so unlovable this time….."
The system said lazily, "Pitiful people certainly have hatred, excluding natural disasters."
Chen Liguo: "……Huh?"
The system said, "I am a system that changes destiny, so no matter how good or bad people are, if they pay enough, they can change their destiny."
Chen Liguo sighed, he still couldn"t fully accept Yan Zhiyao"s sudden huge change.
The system said, "Take it easy, the days are still long."
Chen Liguo seemed to be awakened and immediately nodded: "Right! There are still so many beautiful men that haven"t had s.e.x yet."
System: “?????”
The moment men were mentioned, Chen Liguo felt that his tired soul was once again filled with strength. He said, "When I return to the original world, I must show off to them! They will certainly envy me to death!"
System: "…." What a blunder.
Yan Jingyi left quickly and came back quickly. When he came back, he brought a doctor who helped take Chen Liguo"s pulse.
The doctor was a veteran pract.i.tioner and not long after, the diagnosis was completed and a list of medicine was prescribed.
Chen Liguo looked around and found that they all the medicines were tonics for the kidney.
The system said profoundly, "Such a young age and yet the kidney doesn"t work."
Chen Liguo："……"
Before the doctor left, he whispered a few words to Yan Jingyi. Chen Liguo perked up his ears and heard roughly……. s.e.xual intercourse must be restricted——no!!! Hearing this sentence, Chen Liguo was so agitated that he wanted to stand up and do 200 squats to show just how strong he was, there’s no need to restrict intercourse at all.
Yan Jingyi who was still talking to the doctor got angry, "Didn"t you say that it was okay?"
The doctor"s eyes widened. When he had checked the pulse before it certainly was alright! But before Yan Jingyi how would he dare to say this? So he quickly rushed to diagnose Chen Liguo again.
This time the result was——excessive stimulation, extreme anger attacked the heart.
Yan Jingyi thought about it, he felt that it was because Chen Liguo felt embarra.s.sed and didn"t want others to know about their relationship so he became this angry. He sighed and could only compromise for a while. He whispered, "No matter, you prescribe the medicine then go on, I will think of a way." It seemed that intercourse still needed to be controlled, he shouldn"t pressure him too much.
The stunned Chen Liguo: "……"
