Chapter 123 He Has No Choice

Chu Ran didn't even think twice and immediately answered, "Of course! We will definitely be together forever, unless..."

Li Fu looked at Chu Ran and his pupils trembled slightly, "Unless what?"

Chu Ran scratched his head. "Unless something uncontrollable happens, like I die, or... in short, something that cannot be controlled by humans."

"Even if that day comes." Li Fu stared into Chu Ran's eyes and said slowly: "I will try my best to find you back."

Li Fu's eyes were so stubborn and obsessive that Chu Ran suddenly felt a sense of fear. But at the same time, he wondered if Li Fu was drunk and talking nonsense.

Where can we find a dead person? In the underworld? I don't even know if there is such a place as the underworld.

Besides, now everything has basically been resolved, so there is no possibility of any danger.

Chu Ran glanced and found that all the paper money in the copper basin had been burned. In fact, it had been burned a long time ago, but Chu Ran just saw it. He grabbed a handful of paper money, stood up from the ground, walked to the spirit table, lit the paper money, and threw it into the copper basin.

While throwing paper money into the copper basin, he said to Li Fu, "You can also help throw more in. No matter how poor we are, we can't let Uncle Xing suffer."

Li Fu sighed, grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it in as if to compromise.

Chu Ran glanced at Li Fu secretly. The firelight shone on Li Fu's profile, softening his handsome and sharp facial features a little. It seemed that he had returned to his usual helpless yet tolerant look towards Chu Ran.

Chu Ran's heart moved, and he moved over to kiss the corner of his lips. Just as he was about to withdraw, Li Fu's big hand had already covered the back of Chu Ran's head, and their lips and teeth were rubbing and intertwining, with the sound of water filling the air. Not long after, Chu Ran began to breathe unsteadily, responding passively. His legs and feet, which were kneeling on the ground, even began to go weak, and his mind was dizzy, with long blank spaces flashing through his mind.

"Sir, I really can't stop it. The adults outside the door insist on..."

Jin Yuan ran over from somewhere, and when he saw the scene in the mourning hall, his eyes suddenly widened and he stopped talking.

But it was too late. Dozens of adults, carrying things in their hands, rushed in from the door.

Chu Ran was terrified, and his subconscious action was to grab Li Fu's arm tightly and then hide behind Li Fu.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I am honored to see you at last!"

"My Lord! The country is in crisis right now, you can't just sit there and do nothing!"

All the ministers rushed to Li Fu, and Chu Ran was extremely nervous, his head was buzzing with anxiety. Although these officials may not know Chu Ran, they felt that they had seen him before, and some of them could indeed call out Chu Ran's name.

If he was really exposed on the spot, Chu Ran would be doomed!

Fortunately, the group of people did not actually rush over, but were stopped by Li Fu's guards halfway.

Separated by a human wall, this group of people muttered and naggled a lot, all of which were using things like the country, justice, the court, and the people to put pressure on Li Fu.

Li Fu's brows furrowed as he listened, and he was extremely annoyed. After they all stopped talking, Li Fu spoke with a sarcastic expression, "You want me to take charge of the situation. Before that, have you ever asked your emperor for his opinion?"

The ministers present were speechless for a moment, because they suddenly realized one thing. They considered whether King Dingbei Qin Yuxiao would agree, and whether Li Fu would agree, but they forgot about their Majesty!

However, this cannot be blamed on them. His Majesty is now seriously ill in bed and his mind is not clear yet. What decision can he make?

"It seems that he didn't ask." Li Fu said calmly: "You might as well ask him first whether he agrees to let me recognize my ancestry."

"Your Majesty is not in his right mind and may not be able to..."

"Unconscious?" Li Fu sneered. "I think he is very conscious. The reason why this gentleman said this is that he has not seen your emperor for a long time and he is not even clear about his recent situation."

The adult who had just spoken suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"Okay, since you are not here to pay your respects sincerely, please leave immediately and don't disturb the dead.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally someone spoke up, "Well, the prince is right, but we should first ask His Majesty's opinion."

A dozen people left the yard. Perhaps they felt that since they had already brought the things, it would be inappropriate to take them back, so they left everything behind.

After the scene was cleared and only Chu Ran and Li Fu were left in the yard, Chu Ran slowly came out from behind Li Fu.

Chu Ran sat paralyzed on the mat and let out a long breath.

"What are you afraid of?" Li Fu stroked Chu Ran's thin back with his rough big hand.

"Why aren't you afraid? If I'm recognized, I'm doomed."

"Why is it so serious?"

Chu Ran was not a very high-profile person, and he was also very thin-skinned. Although he did not think there was anything wrong with him and Li Fu being together, he did not want to make it known to everyone.

"Don't do this kind of thing outside again in the future." Chu Ran frowned and said to Li Fu seriously.

Li Fu raised his eyebrows, "But I remember that you were the first one to start."

Chu Ran: ...It seems to be true.

"Then we both need to pay attention to this from now on."

Li Fu responded perfunctorily, and Chu Ran did not expose him.

The two of them sat quietly for a while, and Chu Ran suddenly thought of what Li Fu had just said to those people, so he asked again: "You ask them to go to Emperor Chengwen. Since Emperor Chengwen knows that you are not his biological son, will he agree to let you regain your status as a prince?"

"That's not up to him." Li Fu sneered.
