"If you don't have a girl you like, do you have a boy you like? Or someone you're close to?" Ye Jingchen asked suddenly.
Perhaps Xie Chang'an has always liked boys, but he just hasn't realized it yet.
After all, Xie Chang'an was the one who liked him first.
Ye Jingchen was very clear about his sexual orientation. He liked someone who only liked him and couldn't live without him; gender didn't matter.
When such a person appears, and he doesn't dislike them at all, he will reciprocate with equal feelings.
His view on love is called passive love.
Generally speaking, someone with his view on love is destined to be single for life; he was single until his death in his previous life.
However, this view of love also has its advantages, namely that you will never suffer the pain of unrequited love.
Xie Geng dared not answer Ye Jingchen's question lightly.
He was certain that his lord had never had a man he liked before, but now—
Ye Jingchen's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xie Geng remain silent.
Did Xie Chang'an really have a man she liked before?
"Really? Then tell me quickly, which family's young master does he like?" Ye Jingchen asked with a smile.
Although he was laughing, Xie Geng felt a chill run down his spine.
Young Master Ye's smile is terrifying!
“No, not before!” Xie Geng quickly replied.
"So you mean he has a man he likes now?" Ye Jingchen seized on the loophole in his words and asked.
Xie Geng dared not answer this question; he was still young and did not want to separate his mind from his body.
"You'd better ask the Lord yourself about this kind of question," Xie Geng replied with a bitter face.
He now understands the advantages of being mute; it's true that the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
Starting today, he will learn from Xie Xin!
When Ye Jingchen arrived, Xie Chang'an had just finished meeting with his ministers. Ye Jingchen entered the Xuanzheng Hall just as the ministers were leaving.
"Prime Minister Yan!" Ye Jingchen greeted Yan Xu, who was walking at the front, with a smile.
Yan Xu first looked puzzled, then glared at him fiercely.
Ye Jingchen was somewhat confused; how had he provoked this old man again?
However, he quickly realized that the Yan Xu he knew was not the same Yan Xu. They had no connection now, and his current identity seemed to be the 'beauty' that Xie Chang'an kept hidden away.
No wonder Yan Xu couldn't stand him; he must have seen him as a seductive vixen who bewitched the emperor.
He gave Yan Xu an awkward smile, then strode into the Xuanzheng Hall.
"Prime Minister Yan, could this be...? Do you know him?" The Minister of Personnel, who was a step behind Yan Xu, asked curiously.
"How could I possibly know such a seductive and bewitching person!" Yan Xu said, somewhat agitated.
"Looking at his appearance, he seems somewhat familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Could he be the son of some nobleman?" someone asked in confusion.
“Now that you mention it, I also feel like I’ve seen that face before,” another person chimed in.
Where exactly have I seen this before?
Several ministers fell into deep thought.
"He's good-looking, but his heart is crooked. He wants to take shortcuts in such a despicable way!" Yan Xu commented with a tone of disappointment.
"When I came in just now, I ran into some of your ministers. Some of them may have seen the deposed crown prince before. Will it cause you trouble if they see my face?" Ye Jingchen asked after seeing Xie Chang'an, remembering this matter.
"You've been in the palace for so long, and you're only now thinking about this? Isn't it too late?" Xie Chang'an said with amusement.
Ever since Ye Jingchen came in, he had been observing him and his surroundings without making a sound, but he couldn't discern anything.
"What do you want with me?" Ye Jingchen asked, finding a chair to sit down.
“I had a dream last night, a dream about another version of myself,” Xie Chang’an said, walking toward Ye Jingchen.
"You dreamed about him?" Ye Jingchen asked, somewhat surprised.
Besides being able to enter his dreams, could Xie Chang'an also enter this Xie Chang'an's dreams?
However, they are essentially the same person, so it seems plausible that they would enter each other's dreams.
"What did he say to you?" Ye Jingchen asked.
“He said I am him, and he is me, and that I should take good care of you.”
As Xie Chang'an said this, he had already walked up to Ye Jingchen.
He bent down to look at Ye Jingchen, his face getting closer and closer to Ye Jingchen's.
But just as his face was only the tip of his nose away from Ye Jingchen's face, he felt that dangerous aura again.
He glanced around out of the corner of his eye, but still couldn't see anything.
Ye Jingchen chuckled upon hearing this.
"What are you laughing at?" Xie Chang'an asked, looking at him.
“Although you are the same person, it seems you don’t understand the other you at all. He always does things for me personally and is prone to jealousy, so how could he possibly say something like asking you to take care of me?” Ye Jingchen said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, one sentence gave him away. Xie Chang'an's expression twisted for a moment before returning to normal.
“We are one person. Even if he’s jealous, he wouldn’t be jealous of himself, would he?” He wanted to struggle a little more.
"No, he will! These past two days, he's been entering my dreams every time I fall asleep, clinging to me and telling me to keep my distance from you."
"I think if he were to enter your dream, it would be to make you keep your distance from me, right?" Ye Jingchen asked with amusement.
Xie Chang'an: ......
For a moment, he felt like a clown.
But he didn't want to admit defeat so easily.
"And what about yourself? Do you want to keep your distance from me?" Ignoring the warning from his other self, he moved even closer to Ye Jingchen.
Even from this distance, he could feel Ye Jingchen's breath; it smelled wonderful, a scent that would fascinate him.
Ye Jingchen leaned back slightly, creating a small distance between himself and Xie Chang'an.
"Of course I will listen to the Crown Princess," Ye Jingchen said.
"Oh......"
Xie Chang'an felt as if he heard a mocking laugh.
"Am I not your Crown Princess?" he asked in a deep voice, moving closer to Ye Jingchen.
"You are His Majesty now, and you will be my Crown Princess from now on." Ye Jingchen had nowhere to retreat, so she could only reach out and press her hand against his chest, and earnestly correct him.
"Whether it's now or in the future, isn't it all me?" Xie Chang'an stretched out his hands and placed them on the back of the chair, thus completely enveloping Ye Jingchen in a posture.
"It is you, but what can I do when my Crown Princess cares? I don't want to upset him, so I can only ask His Majesty to bear with it for now."
Ye Jingchen's voice was very gentle, like he was coaxing a child, but Xie Chang'an's face turned red against his will.
He was particularly concerned about the hand Ye Jingchen had placed against his chest.
In contrast to Ye Jingchen's gentleness, there was an undisguised killing intent emanating from another version of himself. Moreover, this time he sensed that the person emanating the killing intent was right next to Ye Jingchen.
