Chapter 45 No Time for Romantic Games
The morning light shines through the window lattice, casting tiny spots of light on the folded bedding.
Shen Qing struggled to open his eyes from the chaos, a rusty sweetness rising from his throat.
The brocade sheets were entangled in my sweaty skin, and every inch of my bones seemed to have been stripped of support. Even the fingertips felt a dull pain when they curled up.
He could hear the rustle of cloth behind him, and the warmth of his breath brushed across his neck. Yeluvis's silver hair fell on his shoulders, like a net woven by moonlight, trapping him so that he could not escape.
The pair of blue eyes were filled with spring water, and the slender fingertips gently traced the red tip of his ear.
"woke up?",
"Your breath is still lingering on my fingertips."
Shen Qing turned his face away and buried his hot cheeks in the pillow. The memories of last night flooded his consciousness like a tide - the other person's slightly cold lips fell on his heart, the silver ring with vine patterns left a cool mark on his waist, and when he was pressed against the carved headboard, he saw the bloody moon outside the window swallowing up the last star.
"Let me go back."
He clutched the corner of the quilt, his knuckles turning white.
"I am needed for matters in the world of the living. I can do whatever you want..."
Before he could finish his words, they were gently covered by a hand.
Yeluweisi turned him over and placed a warm kiss on his trembling eyelids.
"If we are negotiating terms now, shouldn't we pay off our previous debts first?"
When Shen Qingze mentioned the chaos of last night, he couldn't breathe. He could still feel the aftertaste of Yeluweisi's fierce actions from his sour place.
"You haven't paid it back yet? What else do you want?"
Yeluweisi never embarrassed himself in such matters. He whispered softly in Shen Qingze's ear, which immediately made Shen Qingze blush! Even his ears flushed, reflecting the bright earrings, which was very touching.
"Yeluvis! You are shameless!"
Shen Qing was ashamed and angry, and slapped him on the chest without any hesitation, accidentally pulling the wound on his waist, and couldn't help but utter a hoarse sound,
Yeluweisi really enjoyed his lover's resentment and felt that Shen Qing was full of alluring charm.
"I have set the conditions. It is up to you whether you agree to them or not."
"If you don't agree, then there's no need to discuss this matter. Just stay in the palace obediently."
Shen Qing squinted his eyes weakly and stopped talking.
The window screen was suddenly blown up by the morning breeze. In the flickering candlelight, Shen Qing saw the dark tide surging in the other person's eyes, which was very much like the whirlpool that dragged him into the abyss last night.
"Carry me to take a shower, I feel uncomfortable..."
"good"
Yeluvis wrapped Shen Qingze with a bed sheet, untied the shackles at his feet, lifted him up steadily from the bed, and walked into the hot spring pool in the inner room.
After pouring hot water over his whole body, Shen Qingze felt relieved.
Yeluvis still did not let him go, and carefully wiped the marks off his body.
A long time ago, Yeluweisi was too disdainful to serve him like this. Every time after an intimate moment, he would force himself to clean up.
Yeluvis is like a tyrant who puts on pants and doesn't recognize people.
"Yeluvis... have you... changed?"
Yeluweisi helped him to pinch his thigh, and looked at Shen Qingze in confusion.
"What's the meaning?"
Shen Qing recalled his previous intention to ask Yeluweisi about his thoughts, and said in a roundabout way,
"I always feel that you have become more considerate. Maybe you have learned a lot while I was away."
Yeluweisi thought Shen Qingze finally discovered his goodness and laughed softly.
“Yes, I learned something.”
"I see~ The rumors that the emperor would eventually recruit concubines and expand his lineage are true."
Yeluweisi paused, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Shen Qing wanted to tease him, so he ignored the warning in his eyes and continued,
"My master, if you really want to have children with someone else, I will not help you raise the child."
Shen Qing leaned forward slightly, slapped away Yeluweisi's hand on his leg, and spoke ambiguously,
"I will file for divorce from you..."
Before Shen Qingze could finish his words, Yeluweisi had already pressed down on him angrily, pressed against his waist, and fiercely blocked his unspoken words.
“Hmm… huh…”
Yeluvis stroked the corners of Shen Qingze's eyes, wiped away the tears that overflowed, and kissed them gently.
"I will not have other lovers, nor will I have children,"
"Don't let me hear those two words again, or I'll feel bad for you."
The two of them had some fun in the hot spring, which completely made Shen Qingze no longer dare to tease him.
Shen Qingze was severely beaten from head to toe. He sat on the bed with a look of despair on his face, eating the porridge that Yeluweisi fed him mouthful by mouthful.
In his current physical condition, he could only eat light food, which made his already bland food even more tasteless. Shen Qingze, who had such a strong taste, looked increasingly worse, as if he was going to eat Yeluvis alive.
The lover's resentful look did not frighten the culprit, but made him feel very happy.
"I'll be more careful next time. Eat something to fill your stomach first."
The poor victim finally had no choice but to succumb to the monarch's tyranny. After drinking all the porridge in the bowl, he was obediently tucked back into bed.
Yeluvis did not leave immediately, but grabbed Shen Qingze's ankles and tried to put the shackles back on him.
Shen Qing hurriedly struggled with his legs and asked anxiously
"Why did you put that thing on me?"
Yeluvis did not stop moving, but just gently stroked his calf, signaling him not to move. The crisp sound of the lock fell, and the silver chain was tied around his ankle again.
"You will run around. Without this to restrain you, you won't behave yourself."
Shen Qing thought that Yeluweisi just wanted to add some fun to the bed. They had always played wildly, so he didn't take it seriously.
It seemed that Yeluvis was determined to lock him up in the palace this time, so it would be much more difficult for him to escape.
"Yeluvis...you can't do this, you can't lock me up here! I will hate you!"
Yeluvis lifted up his bound ankles and kissed them gently. At that moment, he looked like a devout believer, bowing to the god of his faith.
"It doesn't matter. I will compensate you after things are settled."
"But before that, I hope you can stay here and be obedient."
Then, ignoring Shen Qingze's pleas, anger, and abuse, he walked straight out of the palace.
For the next one or two days, Yeluweisi would sneak onto the bed in the middle of the night while Shen Qingze was asleep, sleep with him, and then quietly leave when the sun was about to rise.
It seemed that he was determined not to be affected by Shen Qingze.
Shen Qing was very distressed because he didn't have the opportunity to communicate with Yeluvis face to face. He really didn't know what Yeluvis was thinking.
His situation is very critical now. Fang Changling and Xiao Qihao may still be waiting for his information. He can't stay here for too long and play any prisoner games with Yeluvis.
He had to find a way to get back.
