ABBLEIP Chapter77

The moonlight was as bright as silver. Shen Qingzhuo woke up from a dream of intimacy. He felt that his whole body was still in an indescribable heat, and his wrists, which had been kissed repeatedly, were even hotter.

 

“Rebel!” He propped up his upper body, picked up the jade pillow, and threw it to the end of the bed. “Who told you to sneak into Master’s bed in the middle of the night?”

 

He thought his tone was fierce, but he didn’t know that his peach blossom eyes were watery and his slightly raised chest was rising and falling. This disheveled and panting appearance was so vivid in the rebel’s eyes.

 

Xiao Shen’s throat moved, and he took the jade pillow casually. “I called Master, but it was Master who slept too soundly.”

 

“You still dare to blame me?” Shen Qingzhuo was so angry that he wanted to kick him again. “Breaking into the house in the middle of the night, is this what Master taught you?”

 

“I miss Master too much.” Xiao Shen raised his hand and grabbed the slender and cute ankle and replied with a smile, “I miss Master so much that I can’t sleep or eat well. If I still can’t see Master, I will be seriously ill.”

 

“You—” Young Master Shen was thin-skinned, and a layer of red suddenly appeared on his ears. He shouted as if to cover up, “Let me go!”

 

Flirtatious words came out of his mouth. Where did the rebel learn this bad habit?

 

Xiao Shen suppressed the impulse to drag the person under him and loosened his slender and powerful fingers. “Master, don’t you miss me?”

 

“Miss you my ass!” Shen Qingzhuo raised his brows and pointed at the rebel, “Go back to where you came from.”

 

“Master doesn’t miss me?” Xiao Shen asked again, kneeling and slowly crawling towards his master, “Then why did Master call me in your dreams?”

 

The rebel’s dangerous and powerful posture reminded Shen Qingzhuo of the man in his dream just now and all the reckless and irresistible things…

 

In the darkness, shame made his cheeks red like a burning flame.

 

How could he have such an embarrassing dream?

 

Whacking the youth with a whip could be understood as his deep desire to teach his rebellious disciple a lesson, but the second half of the dream could not be explained clearly no matter how hard he tried. Could it be that his body itself…

 

“Your face is so red, what did Master dream about?” With his hands on both sides of his master’s body, Xiao Shen asked cheerfully, “Could it be something—”

 

“Nothing!” Shen Qingzhuo suddenly came to his senses and retorted arrogantly, “Master dreamed of beating you rebellious up. Are you satisfied?”

 

Xiao Shen raised his eyebrows slightly: “Really?”

 

Those pitiful sobs sounded like begging for mercy, the soft voice that could arouse his desire for violence, was clearly emitted at a certain moment.

 

Shen Qingzhuo calmed down and took the initiative to ask, “So what do you mean by coming to see Master tonight? Did you admit your mistake?”

 

Xiao Shen stared at him: “What’s wrong with admiring Master?”

 

“You are so stubborn!” Shen Qingzhuo pushed him in anger, “Raiding Master at night, your crime is even more serious.”

 

Xiao Shen took the opportunity to hold the thin wrist bone and kissed the snowy wrist. His hot tongue even slipped out and licked a wet mark there. “I admit that I am stubborn, but I don’t admit to the crime of night raids.”

 

He had almost used up all his self-control and just lay down beside his master, carefully tracing his master’s sleeping face with his eyes and restrainedly kissing his snow-white wrist to quench his thirst.

 

The beast in his heart rumbled in the cage day and night, but he suppressed it tightly and dared not let it out. He did not want his master to have even the slightest resistance to him.

 

The thought of his master looking at him with disgust was more painful to him than the delay.

 

“You…” The strange electric heat exploded, and Shen Qingzhuo could not help but groan and tried to pull back his wrist, but he was no match for the rebel.

 

“Master obviously doesn’t hate it…” The hot and wet kisses continued to fall, and Xiao Shen tempted gently, “Master obviously likes it, why can’t you give me a chance?”

 

“Xiao Qi…” Shen Qingzhuo was helpless and at a loss, almost talking to himself, “This is wrong…”

 

They are master and disciple, they can have all kinds of feelings between them, but they should not have immoral love.

 

The most important point is that the mission is about to be completed, and his return date is imminent. How can he let his little disciple fall in love with him and then leave as if he had never appeared in this world?

 

Shen Qingzhuo came to his senses and called out loudly, “Xiang Chen!”

 

Xiao Shen frowned, “Master…”

 

The next moment, the window he had sneaked in through was pushed open again, and Xiang Chen rolled in neatly, “Master.”

 

“His Majesty is going back to the palace.” Taking advantage of his distraction, Shen Qingzhuo quickly pulled back his wrist. “Be sure to escort him back to the palace safely.”

 

“Master!” The emperor frowned even more. “I finally got out of the palace.”

 

“Xiang Chen, how do you become a secret guard?” Shen Qingzhuo was indifferent and turned to scold the secret guard, “If your master was assassinated at night, you would still be sleeping soundly, right?”

 

“I—” The secret guard had no words to say and could only kneel on one knee to plead guilty, “Please punish me, Master.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo got up from the bed. “Alright, send His Majesty back to the palace.”

 

Xiao Shen pursed his lips and finally got off the bed. “Alright, I won’t disturb Master anymore.”

 

“As the ruler of a country, how can you sneak into Master’s room in the middle of the night?” Shen Qingzhuo turned his back to him and taught him in a cold tone, “You must remember your current identity, how many eyes are staring at you all the time, and how many people want to take you down. Don’t be so willful in the future.”

 

Xiao Shen walked to the palace door in silence and then whispered, “The leader of a country is no exception if he cannot get what he desires most.”

 

***

 

The next day, Shen Qingzhuo went to Beizhen Fushi to do his work as usual.

 

These days, he has been sorting out the files of the imperial prison, trying to find some clues through the old cases he has not taken over, so as to open a breakthrough to clear up the case.

 

But before he took office, the prison had been vacant for nearly three years. During this period, all the case files were kept in the three judicial departments, and most of them were in the hands of the Ministry of Justice.

 

The minister of the Ministry of Justice was Qi Benyu, and he wanted to take the Qi family as the first one to be operated on.

 

“Cough, cough…” Lord Shen covered his lower lip and coughed lightly a few times, and his usually fair face became increasingly pale.

 

Lin Jinyu looked at his face carefully and couldn’t help but frowned. “The weather is getting warmer, why do you look thinner than in the middle of winter?”

 

“I haven’t been sleeping well recently, and my appetite is poor.” Shen Qingzhuo pressed his temples a little tiredly. “It should be better after a while.”

 

Since the absurd dream that night, he couldn’t sleep well at night. He slept so lightly that he had to wake up several times a night. The calming incense didn’t work, and his appetite also became very bad.

 

“The case files are all here and won’t go away. You have to take care of yourself first.” Lin Jinyu sighed and advised sincerely, “Lord Shen’s good days are still ahead. Don’t ruin your health in advance.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

 

Lin Jinyu stopped talking and started talking about business: “I want to train the imperial guards again.”

 

With the new emperor’s accession to the throne, he was successfully promoted to the commander of the imperial guards, and now he is in charge of the imperial guards.

 

“The Imperial Guards ah…” Shen Qingzhuo thought, “How do you want to train them?”

 

“Although the imperial guards are far smaller than the three battalions, but they should not be underestimated if they are well trained.” Lin Jinyu took a sip of hot tea and sighed, “Now the imperial guards are a bunch of lazy people who only take salaries and do not work. I have to let them know that getting something for nothing does not work.”

 

“The Imperial Guards are all sons of noble families, and they have become veterans, so it is difficult to train them.” Shen Qingzhuo said with a smile, “However, Feng Ji has such ambitions, how can I not strongly support him?”

 

Lin Jinyu also smiled: “That’s great, then I will report to His Majesty.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo thought for a moment, waved to Lord Lin, indicating that he had something to say.

 

Lin Jinyu didn’t doubt him and leaned over to ask, “What else?”

 

As soon as Kong Shang came in, he saw the two lords whispering intimately.

 

“Lord Lin, My Lord.” After waiting for a while, Kong Qianshi[mfn]Official in ancient China. Equivalent to deputy or assistant.[/mfn] had to speak up to interrupt the two lords’ private conversation.

 

Fortunately, Shen Qingzhuo had finished his words and looked up at him, “What’s wrong?”

 

Kong Shang replied truthfully, “His Majesty invited My Lord to go to the study to discuss something.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly. “What did he say?”

 

“This… His Majesty really didn’t say it.” Kong Shang scratched his head. “It seems to be something that the subordinate should not know.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo leaned back and said calmly, “If he said nothing, I won’t go.”

 

He doesn’t seem to be an important matter either.

 

Kong Shang: “……”

 

His lord is so, so willful ah…

 

“Qingzhuo, he is the emperor after all, you should give him some face.” Lin Jinyu shook his head and said worriedly, “The emperor’s authority cannot be challenged. You have repeatedly refuted his face. Even the deepest master-disciple relationship cannot stand it…”

 

Shen Qingzhuo closed his eyes, “You don’t understand.”

 

It would be fine if it was just a relationship between master and disciple. The key is that what the emperor is asking him for now is something he can’t give.

 

Seeing this, Lin Jinyu stopped persuading him and told Kong Qianshi, “Go and report to His Majesty, saying that Lord Shen is ill and you are asked to convey the message.”

 

Kong Shang shuddered when he thought of the emperor’s face, which was as gloomy as a thousand-year-old ice, but he still went back to the palace to report.

 

There was no way. His lord was more important than anything else in his heart. For the sake of his lord, the emperor would not really blame him… right?

 

***

 

That night, after Shen Qingzhuo lay down, he still tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep.

 

He had too many things on his mind, and the system seemed to be dead. No matter how he summoned it, it wouldn’t come out, and there was no room for him to find someone to discuss it.

 

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a gaze that was hard to ignore falling on his face while he was half conscious.

 

He opened his eyes and saw the rebel sitting beside the bed, looking at him motionlessly like a silent sculpture.

 

“Ai…” He sighed, his voice sounding soft and hoarse in the night, “Master will be scared to death by you sooner or later.”

 

“Where do you feel uncomfortable, Master?” Xiao Shen asked in a low voice, reaching out to touch his master’s face, “Master, you have lost weight again. I am not here, so you must not have eaten well.”

 

Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand and blocked his arm. “Master is fine, that’s just an excuse.”

 

His eyes were dark and seemed darker than the night outside the window. Xiao Shen’s voice was eerily soft: “Master, do you really not want to see me?”

 

Shen Qingzhuo stared at the peach blossom eyes that were full of affection and worry and said in a tone that was almost begging. “Xiao Qi, admit your mistakes, Master begs you.”

 

Don’t want to? What don’t you want to?

 

This is the youth he personally raised. Except for the two years when he went to fight in Suixi, they were almost inseparable.

 

They used to talk about everything, but now they have to maintain a cold war, even saying things that would hurt the youth.

 

He just wants everything to return to normal…

 

Xiao Shen looked at the pair of affectionate eyes misty with water, and a storm rolled up in his dark pupils.

 

The big hand, like a pliers, easily grasped the lonely wrist bone, and he leaned over and pressed down, “There’s nothing wrong with loving Master.”

 

His love may be morbid, but he will never regret it.

 

“Don’t force me, Xiao Qi…” Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously raised his other hand, pressed against his hard chest, and said, “Do you want to force Master to leave?”

 

The word “leave” finally broke the string in the emperor’s mind.

 

He grabbed the other slender snow wrist, clasped it, and then pressed it firmly on the soft bed.

 

The slightly heaving chest was forced to stand up, forming a beautiful arc. Shen Qingzhuo panicked, “Xiao Qi, don’t…”

 

The words were completely swallowed up.

 

Xiao Shen kissed him, his hot lips pressed tightly against him, and after a moment, the powerful tip of his tongue tried to pry open his lips.

 

Shen Qingzhuo struggled, his lips tightly closed, and refused to open.

 

But the sharp teeth bit his lower lip, and while he was in pain, the wet and hot tongue tip fed into him with irresistible force.

 

Soon, the restrained kiss quickly turned rough, like a muscular beast finally caught its prey and wanted to swallow it in one bite.

 

“Wu…” Shen Qingzhuo sank deeply into the bed, his face flushed from being pressed and kissed, and he could only let out a broken sob from the entangled lips.

 

His lips and tongue were numb from the kiss, and his vision went dark for a moment. He even thought that the rebel was really going to eat him alive like this…

 

Before he almost fainted from the kiss, Xiao Shen finally mercifully withdrew his lips and tongue, slightly distanced himself from him, allowing his master to breathe.

 

Shen Qingzhuo came back to life from the suffocation, his eyes were full of mist, and his chest rose and fell even more violently. “Re, re…”

 

He wanted to curse “rebel” again, but he could only gasp in a wolfish voice.

 

“Xiao Qi begging you, Master.” The deep and magnetic voice was hoarse from the passion. Xiao Shen clung to him and begged, “Master, please love me, I am really about to be tortured to death by you…”

 

The author has something to say:

The Wolf Cub: Master, now you know how restrained I was before?

The Master: I love you, I will slap you to death!

The master will be forced to open up. There’s no abuse, but give the master some more time…
