ABBLEIP Chapter105

The moment he regained consciousness, an unbearable pain forced Shen Qingzhuo to groan.

 

His trembling eyelashes fluttered open, and his hazy vision gradually focused. A familiar handsome face came into view, and he called out, “Xiao Qi…”

 

“Master, you’re up.” Xiao Shen sat by the bed and looked at him. He didn’t know how long he had been looking at him, with a strange smile on his lips.

 

The veins on his temples were throbbing with pain, and Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously wanted to rub them, only to find that his hands could not move.

 

He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that his hands were tied together by a red silk ribbon, firmly tied to the dragon-carved bedpost.

 

“Xiao Qi?” He struggled for a while, trying to pull his hands free. “Why did you tie up Master?”

 

The words stopped abruptly, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong with what he drank before he fainted.

 

Yuehua Palace was his own place, and it was easy for him to let down his guard. He was even less cautious towards his little disciple and was caught in such a muddle.

 

“I tied Master up because I was afraid that Master might hurt himself.” Xiao Shen looked gloomy and raised his hand to straighten his messy clothes. “Where else does Master feel uncomfortable?”

 

“Xiao Qi, what do you want to do?” Shen Qingzhuo quickly calmed down, “If you have anything to say, we can sit down and talk, there’s no need to tie Master up.”

 

Xiao Shen opened his mouth, and countless questions rolled around in his mouth and finally turned into one sentence: “During this period of time, Master should rest in my palace well.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo frowned, “The new policy is being implemented, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. You can’t lock me up here.”

 

“Don’t worry about the new policy, Master.” Xiao Shen looked indifferent. “From now on, all government affairs have nothing to do with Master.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo’s heart sank, and the temperature in his eyes dropped suddenly. “What does this mean?”

 

The young emperor curled his lips, “It’s what Master thinks.”

 

“Xiao Shen!” Shen Qingzhuo was really angry when he said this and kicked him hard. “Are you rebelling?”

 

Xiao Shen was not careful for a moment, and was kicked unexpectedly and fell to the side of the dragon bed, making a loud “bang” sound.

 

But soon, he got up as if nothing had happened.

 

Shen Qingzhuo raised his foot to kick him again but was grabbed by the calf instead.

 

“Master, getting angry will hurt your body.” He whispered, his palm moving up along the straight and slender calf.

 

Shen Qingzhuo got goosebumps all over his body and shouted coldly, “Let go! Rebellious!”

 

But now he was like a fish on a chopping board, and his struggle was nothing but a joke to the young and strong emperor.

 

“Didn’t Master say that this country will eventually belong to me?” Xiao Shen’s hand stopped above his knee, his eyes deep and unfathomable, “Now, I just want to take it back.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo’s cheeks flushed with anger. He had planned everything, but he had never expected that this bastard would dare to drug him openly and take him away in front of everyone in Yuehua Palace.

 

The carefully trained wild wolf finally became disloyal and pounced on its master and bit him hard.

 

“You are too naive, Xiao Qi.” He tried to calm down his anger and analyzed calmly, “Do you think that you can easily take away what I hold by putting me under house arrest? Without my orders, the previous dynasty would only be in chaos.”

 

Xiao Shen smiled and said, “The transition of power does require a process, but you should trust me, Master.”

 

“Believe you my…” Shen Qingzhuo’s anger suddenly flared up again. “I suddenly disappeared, do you think my people will let it go?”

 

“Those who obey me will prosper, those who disobey me will perish.” Xiao Shen leaned down and kissed his knee through his dragon robe. “Come one, I will kill one, come two, I will kill a pair.”

 

“You dare!” Shen Qingzhuo suddenly raised his upper body but was pulled back by the restraints at the head of the bed. He could only warn angrily, “Xiao Shen, you dare!”

 

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Xiao Shen knelt on the bed and shackled his bound wrists with one hand. “I am the Son of Heaven, I can kill whoever I want.”

 

“What did you say?” Shen Qingzhuo’s breathing became rapid. “Is this what I have taught you all these years?”

 

Who knew that these words touched the emperor’s tense nerves? Xiao Shen bit his lips fiercely, his tone gloomy and irritable: “Master taught me how to be a good dog, but you didn’t tell me that even the most obedient dogs will be abandoned!”

 

Shen Qingzhuo was struck by lightning. “How, how could you…”

 

Did his little disciple bite his lips just now?

 

“What’s wrong with me?” Xiao Shen stared at him without blinking and covered his lips again.

 

Shen Qingzhuo came back to his senses, turned his face quickly, and cursed without thinking: “Isn’t it disgusting?”

 

As soon as the voice fell, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

 

Just when he was regretting it, a hand like an iron clamp grabbed his jaw fiercely and twisted his face back forcefully.

 

The next moment, sharp teeth bit his plump lower lip, and while he was groaning in pain, he completely seized his lips and tongue.

 

The powerful tongue rushed in his mouth without any skill. It was more like venting the long-suppressed anger than a kiss.

 

“Umm…” Shen Qingzhuo soon couldn’t breathe and tried to resist, but was held down tightly to bear the emperor’s anger.

 

He made up his mind and bit the twisting tongue with all his strength. However, the person who was in pain did not let him go and instead became even crazier.

 

It was not until his lips and tongue became numb that Xiao Shen let go of him and stepped back a little.

 

The tip of his tongue was bitten, blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and the emperor wiped the blood on his face without caring, with an expression of indescribable joy, “Are you still disgusted, Master?”

 

Shen Qingzhuo took short breaths, his chest rising and falling with each breath. “Are, are you crazy?”

 

“Am I crazy?” Xiao Shen raised his hand and smeared the blood on the red and swollen lips of his master and appreciated the almost bloody beauty with satisfaction. “I have been crazy for a long time already, Master.”

 

The emperor issued an order that the King Duan had unfortunately caught a cold and would close the door to visitors from now on.

 

The memorials from the court were sent to Yuehua Palace as usual, but no one was summoned.

 

Pei Yanqi immediately noticed something was wrong and rushed to Yuehua Palace, but was stopped outside the gate.

 

The palace servant who stopped him was clearly a stranger.

 

He immediately made up his mind that his Highness might be in big trouble.

 

However, before Lord Pei could take any action, the Jinyiwei directly blocked his way and took him to the imperial prison without explanation.

 

“Lord Xue.” Pei Yanqi stood in the cell, as gentle and elegant as ever. “His Highness has been kind to you, and now that His Highness is in trouble, Lord Xue should not repay kindness with hatred.”

 

Xue Shihang held the Xiuchun sword in his hand, his expression tangled and ashamed. “Lord Pei, I have a family of old and young, I am really helpless ah…”

 

Pei Yanqi was silent for a moment. “Is it His Majesty?”

 

“Even though Lord Pei is in prison, he still thinks of Zhen.” At this time, a cold and low voice sounded, “Zhen is very touched.”

 

Pei Yanqi clenched his fists. Sure enough, the emperor took the initiative.

 

Young Master Shen had misjudged the person and given his heart to the wrong person.

 

As the sky was getting dark, Xiao Shen returned to Chengqian Palace with brisk steps. As he approached the inner hall, he heard the sound of broken porcelain.

 

Pushing open the door of the hall, the eunuch who was serving him knelt down in fear and apologized: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Highness refuses to eat.”

 

Xiao Shen took a look at the mess on the ground, waved his hand to let the eunuch leave, and took another bowl of porridge himself, intending to feed his master himself.

 

“Master, you have to eat.” He sat down beside the bed, blew the porridge in the spoon to cool it down, and handed it to his master’s lips. “Ah—”

 

Shen Qingzhuo leaned against the head of the bed and looked at him coldly. “Get lost!”

 

Xiao Shen looked back at him, suddenly put the spoon into his mouth, took a mouthful of porridge, and turned over.

 

“Hmm…” His jaw was firmly pinched, and the sticky porridge passed through his mouth. Shen Qingzhuo couldn’t break free and was forced to swallow it, choking and coughing.

 

“I’m sorry, Master, it’s my fault.” Xiao Shen immediately put down the porridge bowl with a distressed look and gently stroked his thin chest with his palm to calm him down. “Master, can you eat it yourself?”

 

“Get lost, cough, cough.” Shen Qingzhuo dodged his hand, his beautiful eyes tearing up, his voice trembling with anger, “If you have the guts, starve me to death, and I’ll consider it a waste of all the time that I’ve raised you for all these years!”

 

Others let the wolf into the house, but he raised a wolf with his own hands, and it hurt himself in turn.

 

Xiao Shen closed his eyes patiently. “How about this, if Master doesn’t eat a meal, I will kill someone.”

 

“What did you say?” Shen Qingzhuo suspected that he had misheard and looked at him in disbelief.

 

“How about starting with Xiao Dezi?” Xiao Shen showed a pure and cruel smile. “There are so many people in Yuehua Palace. Can you bear it, Master?”

 

Shen Qingzhuo’s eyelashes trembled, and he looked at the young emperor in front of him with an extremely unfamiliar look.

 

“Don’t look at me like that, Master.” The dark eyes became darker and darker. “I can do what I say.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo couldn’t doubt this sentence, let alone take the risk of gambling. A gamble would cost a life.

 

He could only swallow the porridge mouthful by mouthful, holding back his nausea.

 

“By the way, Pei Yanqi is in prison.” Xiao Shen said casually, “I didn’t expect him to be so tough. He will inevitably suffer.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo instantly raised his voice: “Don’t touch him!”

 

“Why are you so nervous, Master?” Xiao Shen picked up a handkerchief to wipe his fingers, but his eyes never left his face. “Do you have a special relationship with him?”

 

“I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Shen Qingzhuo suppressed his fear and tried to reason with the emperor, “He is your subject, a key official of the court, you can’t just kill him like that.”

 

“Really?” Xiao Shen suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a big joke.

 

After laughing, he confirmed again, “Master, do you really not have a private relationship with Lord Pei?”

 

“No!” Shen Qingzhuo frowned, “Do you think everyone is as perverted as you?”

 

“Perverted?” Xiao Shen took over the conversation fluently, leaned over, and kissed the corner of his master’s lips, “There is more perverted stuff to come, Master.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo didn’t understand what he meant by this, but subconsciously felt that it must be something bad.

 

As expected, before going to bed, Xiao Shen walked into the inner hall holding an exquisite sandalwood box in one hand.

 

Shen Qingzhuo, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up and pressed closely against the head of the bed. “What are you going to do now?”

 

Xiao Shen did not answer but put the sandalwood box on the table, opened it, and revealed a row of jade inside.

 

Jade?

 

Shen Qingzhuo looked at them from a distance and felt that the shapes of the jades were very strange, with different thicknesses and lengths. They looked very valuable.

 

Xiao Shen picked one, walked to the front of the couch, and asked with a smile, “Master, how is the quality of this jade?”

 

Shen Qingzhuo was confused. This jade had a warm color and fine texture, so it must be good jade.

 

But he just stared at the emperor suspiciously and vigilantly and did not answer the question.

 

“This is made of the finest Hetian jade.” Xiao Shen played with the jade in his hand and said in a playful tone, “Beautiful jade goes with beauty. I picked for a long time before I could barely pick out the jade that can match Master.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo’s eyes fell on the jade, and he couldn’t help but protest, “It’s too clumsy to wear this jade.”

 

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Shen replied with a half-smile, “Who said this jade is for wearing, Master?”

 

Shen Qingzhuo’s patience was exhausted, and he didn’t want this thing anymore. He warned in a cold tone, “Whatever you want to do, get out of here right now.”

 

He would never sleep with a wolf.

 

Xiao Shen was not annoyed. He lowered his strong shoulders and climbed up slowly and firmly like a hungry wolf ready to attack.

 

Shen Qingzhuo retreated reflexively, but the bedside was behind him, and he could not retreat any further. He shouted in panic, “Xiao Shen!”

 

Soon, he was forced to figure out how to use that thing…

 

“I’m doing this for your own good, Master.” Xiao Shen stretched out his tongue, which seemed to have barbs, and licked the sweaty neck carefully, then kissed the wet tear marks upwards. “I don’t want to hurt you, Master.”
