Chapter 12 Threatened

The midday sun shines obliquely into the huge room through the carved wooden windows.

The person bathed in the sun is wearing a red official uniform, and his hair is neatly tied up with a jade hairpin.

Li Jinchen had to admit that Xie Anci was extremely beautiful. The red official uniform made him look like a jade crown, and the tear mole under his eye added a touch of fragile beauty.

The golden sunlight cast a layer of hazy gold on him, warm and peaceful.

Xie Anci looked up at Li Jinchen.

Why did this man suddenly stop talking?

Li Jinchen bumped into Xie Anci's puzzled eyes, came back to his senses, and coughed lightly.

"Are you really willing to let Gu Lingyu send people to patrol during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

"Why not? It's not a good job. If you want him to go, just let him go." Xie Anci leaned back in his chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Okay." Li Jinchen was like a dumb firecracker. I thought he would have a quarrel with Xie Anci.

I didn't expect the man to be so easy to talk to today.

Although this is just a small matter, it is also a means for him to slowly take back power. Xie Anci cannot be unaware of it.

Li Jinchen was a little surprised. Isn't power very important to Xie Anci?

Why is he so calm now?

Xie Anci sipped his tea lightly, "But I have a condition."

Li Jinchen looked as if it was just as expected.

"What conditions?"

"Accompany me to the festival on Mid-Autumn Festival." Xie Anci stroked his fingers, feeling a little uneasy.

He just wanted to cherish the time he had with Li Jinchen now, and it would be best if he could delay it a little, delay the time he had abandoned.

Li Jinchen frowned, "But there is a banquet in the palace, and it will probably be very late after it ends."

"It doesn't matter, there is no curfew that day, is that okay?" Xie Anci looked at Li Jinchen expectantly.

Li Jinchen felt a little guilty when he looked at him. Visiting festivals, isn't that something that lovers do?

He and Xie Anci...

are more like enemies.

"Why? You don't even want to do such a small thing? What about the Mid-Autumn Festival city tour..." "

I am willing, I will accompany you." Li Jinchen interrupted him quickly.

He knew how to threaten him.

Li Jinchen thought with dissatisfaction, he really hasn't changed, he's still the same Xie Anci.

"Then it's settled." Xie Anci smiled and clapped his hands, looking a little more energetic.

"Yeah." Li Jinchen responded in a muffled voice.

This was the first time Li Jinchen had seen him since Xie Anci forced him to have sex with him.

It wasn't as tense as he had imagined, but there was a hint of embarrassment, and he was calmer than before.

But when he thought about letting it go, Li Jinchen felt unwilling.

He always wanted to make Xie Anci unhappy.

However, he had wanted to give him a warning in the morning and let him wait outside Yu's study for a while, but the man didn't buy it.

Li Jinchen didn't dare to go too far, and felt suffocated.

"Anything else? If not, I'll leave." Xie Anci rubbed his waist, and he should go back and lie down.

After being beaten up today, his whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Seeing Xie Anci's movements, Li Jinchen's ears turned slightly red. He

didn't know if it was because of anger or shame.

"Go away." Li Jinchen's tone suddenly became cold and hard.

Xie Anci was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. After all, Li Jinchen had always been like this to him.

It was really beyond his expectation that he could chat so calmly today.

Xie Anci walked out leisurely.

Seeing Xie Anci leave, Li Jinchen scratched the back of his head irritably.

He really didn't know what to do with Xie Anci. He

didn't dare to move now, thinking that he had endured it for so many years, and it wouldn't matter if he endured it for a while longer.

After taking back all the power from Xie Anci, what should he do with Xie Anci?

Kill him?

It seemed too easy for him. After all, Xie Anci had tortured him for so many years. It would be too satisfying for him to just kill him.

Li Jinchen shook his head. Forget it. Things haven't been done yet. What's the point of thinking about these things?

After Xie Anci returned home, he applied medicine to himself. Sure enough, the previous wound opened again. Xie Anci couldn't help but curse Gu Lingyu in his heart.

I must teach him a lesson the next time I see him.

Xie Anci thought angrily.

Then he lay down and fell asleep, and didn't even go to the evening party.

Li Jinchen and Gu Lingyu were very happy. They were also much more relaxed without Xie Anci.

In the following days, Xie Anci took a few days off on the grounds of illness and did not go to court.

Xie You and Lu Yunzheng came to see Xie Anci several times, and they were relieved after seeing that Xie Anci was fine. After

a few days of rest, his body recovered, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xie Anci got up early this morning and took up his long sword with interest to practice in the yard.

The mist was hazy, and Xie Anci was wearing white clothes, and his thin figure was looming in the layers of trees.

Every move was smooth, and his clothes fluttered, just like an immortal.

Xie You, who came to find Xie Anci, couldn't help but stare in amazement.

The tip of his foot stepped lightly on the dead leaves, and the slight movement interrupted Xie Anci's movements.

"Who?" Xie Anci put away his sword and looked at the person who came.

When he saw it was Xie You, his expression relaxed.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Godfather, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to ask if you are going to attend the palace banquet tonight?" Xie You looked at Xie Anci's thin waist, as if he could hold it with one hand.

Small beads of sweat slid down from his temples, his cherry lips slightly parted, and he gasped softly.

Xie You was fascinated by every move of the man.

Xie You's Adam's apple rolled, and he restrained his desire.

"Of course, I will be back later today." Xie Anci wiped the sword.

The sword in his hand was a red sword with a slender blade and golden Sanskrit in the middle.

Xie You knew that this sword named "Yilan Sword" was made by Old Wang for Xie Anci.

Although it is slightly thinner than ordinary swords, it is also very strong and suits Xie Anci very well.

"Huh? Where is my godfather going?" Xie You was a little disappointed.

He had been thinking about having dinner with his godfather and watching the moon in the evening.

"Well, the Emperor and I have an appointment to go to the festival." Xie Anci put away his sword, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

"Your Majesty?" Xie You was stunned, as if his heart was tugged.

The Emperor is willing to accompany his adoptive father to the festival?

Really?

Don't the two of them dislike each other? Why would Li Jinchen be willing to accompany his adoptive father?

Xie You frowned, full of jealousy.

"That's right, you don't have to wait for me today. The imperial examination is coming soon. Study hard and don't always think about playing." Xie Anci showed concern for Xie You.

Although what he said was not what Xie You liked.

"Well." Xie You said in a muffled voice, frowning unhappily.

Could it be that Li Jinchen had developed feelings for his adoptive father after having sex with him once?

Xie You thought anxiously, and decided to go and ask around.
