Zhan Ze: "What are you trying for? Don't you look down on the people here?"

Xie Qi: "But you don't want to, I can just try somewhere else. Anyway, now I know what brothels are for. You can kiss someone for money."

Zhan Ze: "Aren't you afraid that they will take a fancy to you and pester you?!"

Xie Qi: "There's only business here, no personal feelings."

Zhan Ze was speechless for a moment when he heard Xie Qi using what he had said before to defend himself.

Zhan Ze then sat back on the Arhat bed, took a deep breath and said, "If I hadn't seen that you were stupid and was afraid that you would be deceived by others, I wouldn't have accompanied you to try such a thing."

Xie Qi: "You let me kiss you?"

Zhan Ze: "Shut up, kiss me if you want."

Zhan Ze said this and then closed his eyes, muttering in his heart: "It's all for repaying a favor. I can't let the emperor be entangled by others. I can't let the emperor go astray. It's all for repaying a favor, it's all for repaying a favor!"

However, at this moment, Xie Qi had a playful smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Zhan Ze, who had his eyes tightly closed. He whispered, "Brother Mu, have you forgotten something? You're wearing a mask, how can I kiss you?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Ze suddenly opened his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his mask, as if wanting to confirm whether it was still in place.

When his fingers touched the mask, a wave of shame and anger washed over him: "No more kissing! Go find anyone else to try!"

However, Xie Qi did not give up. He continued to ask, "Brother Mu, I have never asked you before, why do you always wear this mask?"

Zhan Ze: "I'm ugly and I'm afraid of scaring people."

Xie Qi: "Is it disfigured?"

Zhan Ze: "Are you disappointed that I'm ugly? Do you regret kissing me just now?"

Xie Qi: "How is that possible? Brother Mu is the person I care about most in this world."

Zhan Ze: "The person you care about the most? Are you hiding a secret from me?"

Hearing this, Xie Qi suddenly hesitated.

Zhan Ze hadn't originally intended to let Xie Qi answer him, but Xie Qi suddenly looked at Zhan Ze seriously and said, "There's something I haven't told you."

Zhan Ze saw this and couldn't help but feel curious. He quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Qi slowly leaned close to Zhan Ze's ear, lowered his voice, as if afraid of being heard by others, and whispered softly: "Actually, I am the emperor."

After saying this, Xie Qi looked at Zhan Ze quietly, observing his reaction. Zhan Ze suddenly froze, his face full of disbelief.

Zhan Ze's current reaction was not because he was surprised that Xie Qi was the emperor, but because he was surprised that Xie Qi actually said this.

After all, no emperor would sneak out of the palace and tell others his identity. Isn't he afraid of being sold?

After a long while, Zhan Ze came back to his senses. He looked at Xie Qi and couldn't help but say, "I think you are heartless."

After saying that, he pushed Xie Qi away helplessly and left the room.
