AFDPIRAB Chapter65

Yun Jiangli just stood there in a daze for a moment before he was bumped into by Xiao Jiu, who had heard some noise and hurriedly ran out to see what was going on.

 

“Young, Young, Young Hall Master?!”

 

Xiao Jiu appeared as if he had seen a ghost. He jumped far away, pointed at Yun Jiangli, and yelled incoherently.

 

Before Yun Jiangli could say anything, Xiao Jiu rushed back inside with a roar and shouted even louder, “Little Master, stop swearing! Bastard, no… the Young Hall Master is back!”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

Not sure if the crying little prince, who was lying on the bed, didn’t understand or didn’t believe it at all. He kept muttering: “Huhu… Laozi doesn’t believe it!”

 

“Laozi wants to marry a concubine…”

 

Yun Jiangli, who had already turned around the screen, listened to the youth’s nonsense with a mixture of laughter and tears, feeling both distressed and amused.

 

The youth he had missed day and night for so long was finally in front of him.

 

“Xiao Qi.”

 

Yun Jiangli’s voice rang out in the bedroom, and the little prince’s cursing stopped abruptly.

 

He was stunned, looking at the person standing not far from the bed, and he didn’t care about the pain anymore. He stared at him with tears in his round eyes.

 

Not to mention Yan Muning, even the old hall master didn’t expect Yun Jiangli to come back suddenly. For a while, the bedroom was quiet, with only the occasional sobbing sound of the little prince, who couldn’t control himself.

 

Yun Jiangli seemed to want to go forward and hug Yan Muning. He took a step forward and stopped hesitantly again.

 

He was still wearing light armor, and he had been traveling for several days, so he was covered in dust and a bit of dirt.

 

The first one to come to his senses was the old hall master. He stood up and slapped Yun Jiangli on the back: “You little bastard! You still remember to come back?”

 

“Go away, wash yourself, and change your clothes before coming back. Don’t stand here with all this dirt on you.” Without waiting for Yun Jiangli to say anything, the old hall master waved his hand and let him go out first.

 

Yun Jiangli’s eyes were always glued to the little prince, unwilling to move away.

 

The old hall master sighed, “Go quickly, now that you are back, it is more effective than any panacea! I will watch here, and nothing will go wrong.”

 

Chen Mo helped Yun Jiangli take off his cape and whispered, “Young Hall Master, please go to the bath house first. I will send someone to bring a bathtub of hot water and clean clothes.”

 

Yun Jiangli, who was arranged, could only nod. He looked at the little prince deeply and fondly, and then turned and walked towards the bath house next door.

 

.

 

After Yun Jiangli left the bedroom for half a cup of tea time, the little prince was still in a daze and asked in a daze, “Shiyi, is it really Ah Li who is back?”

 

“Yes! Master!”

 

Shiyi nodded vigorously: “The Young Hall Master is really back!”

 

“Oh.”

 

The little prince responded stupidly, holding his belly with both hands, pursing his lips, lowering his eyes, and not saying anything.

 

Shiyi and Xiao Jiu looked at each other, and for the first time they felt a little unsure of their little prince’s thoughts.

 

Fortunately, Yun Jiangli came back soon.

 

He had already taken off his light armor and let his long hair down and regained his cool and lazy look. Perhaps he was a little anxious, with water still dripping from the tips of his hair, and he entered the bedroom with some mist after taking a bath.

 

When the people guarding the little prince saw Yun Jiangli coming in, they immediately found excuses to leave.

 

Old Hall Master Yun was still thinking of giving him some instructions, but he finally waved his hand and said, “Forget it, just check his pulse yourself and you’ll know.”

 

After saying that, he also shook his sleeves and left the bedroom.

 

.

 

“Xiao Qi.”

 

Yun Jiangli sat beside the couch, looking at the youth’s pale face, feeling extremely distressed.

 

He had never known that missing someone could be so torturous. But now that he was so close, the longing became even more intense. There were countless things he wanted to say to his little lover, but at this moment, they all rushed up at once, blocking his chest, choking him so much that the corners of his eyes turned red, and he didn’t know where to start.

 

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yun Jiangli rationally reminded himself that there were more urgent things at the moment, so he took a deep breath, gently held the youth’s wrist, and concentrated on taking his pulse.

 

“Ah Li…”

 

The little prince’s voice was nasal and a little cautious, which sounded pitiful, and it also made Yun Jiangli feel even more distressed.

 

Yun Jiangli released his fingertips from taking the youth’s pulse and gently placed his hand on his obviously bulging belly: “Thank you for your hard work. It’s all my fault.”

 

Just such a simple sentence touched upon all the anxieties that the little prince had been feeling for the past few days. It seemed that his patience had finally reached its limit, and he suddenly burst into tears.

 

While crying, he didn’t forget to scold, scolding Yun Jiangli for being away for so long, scolding Yun Jiangli for scaring him, scolding the kid for causing trouble for him…

 

Hearing these words, Yun Jiangli felt as if a huge hole was stabbed in his chest, and the pain was so severe that it made him feel cold.

 

The little prince’s belly was no longer the same as when he left the capital. It was now bulging high on the bed. He didn’t dare to use force, so he had to lean over and hug the youth in a somewhat awkward position, kissing his tears, coaxing, and comforting him.

 

The youth’s tears spread in Yun Jiangli’s mouth with bitterness. Feeling this real embrace, his eyes gradually became red.

 

God knows how many nights he fell asleep during his days in the north, but every time he woke up, the cold and empty tent reminded him that—

 

His lover was not around.

 

Yan Muning seemed to have done venting his feelings, and his crying gradually became smaller, leaving only uncontrolled sobbing from time to time.

 

The little prince, who realized it late, seemed a little embarrassed for crying so loudly and secretly rubbed his face on Yun Jiangli’s shoulder.

 

Yun Jiangli finds the youth’s little action cute that he naturally raised his hand to rub his head. He clearly felt that the person in his arms suddenly stiffened. He was about to ask the youth if he was uncomfortable, and then he heard Yan Muning ask in a low voice, tentatively: “Ah Li… when did you come back?”

 

Yun Jiangli guessed the little prince’s thoughts and finally showed a hint of a smile in his eyes. He deliberately said something jealous to tease the youth: “Just when Wangye said that you wanted to marry ten concubines…”

 

The little prince: “……”

 

So, so embarrassing, how did he hear it?

 

Yan Muning rested his head against Yun Jiangli’s shoulder and began to whimper and coquettishly change the subject: “Aiya, my stomach hurts so much ah, Old Hall Master said the child is coming out!”

 

“It’s not time yet.”

 

Yun Jiangli stopped teasing him and just followed the youth’s words and said, “It should be within a few days, but your emotions are fluctuating so much right now that you may have caused the instability of the fetus.”

 

As he spoke, he turned his head and gently kissed the youth’s eyes: “But don’t be afraid, I’m back, I’ll be with you.”

 

.

 

Although Yun Jiangli was back, and the little prince was calm, but the kid was still not very obedient and would torment the little prince from time to time.

 

The little prince was someone who could not tolerate pain. If Yun Jiangli was not around, he could still force himself to endure it. But now, the big beauty was already in front of him, and the little prince could not bear it anymore. He cried and acted like a spoiled child, asking for a hug and a kiss.

 

Yun Jiangli naturally agreed to whatever the little prince said. Even if the youth asked for the pearls from the South China Sea, he would still go and get them back without hesitation.

 

In order to let the little prince sleep peacefully, Yun Jiangli coaxed him for a long time, fed him a bowl of soup, and gave him an acupuncture before going to bed. Only then did he finally make the child behave himself.

 

Lying on the bed, Yun Jiangli hugged the sweet and soft little prince and chatted with him.

 

The youth’s belly was so high that it was a bit scary. Now that they were close, Yun Jiangli could clearly feel the force and pull of the child when he occasionally flipped over. The pain in his heart was unbearable, and he began to seriously consider the issue of having only this one child.

 

“Why did you come back so suddenly?”

 

The little prince nestled in the big beauty’s arms and asked with his eyes twinkling.

 

“Originally it wasn’t so fast. When Fifth Brother asked Chen Bai to deliver the message for me, the 20,000 troops that returned with me in triumph had just set up camp in Yan County. I was not the commander-in-chief, so I didn’t need to lead the troops. I hurried back to the capital with Chen Bai overnight.”

 

Yun Jiangli tightened his arms around the youth.

 

He frowned with some fear and said, “Xiao Qi, it’s my fault. I was careless and let someone take advantage. The news was cut off for two days, and I almost scared you to death…”

 

On the way back to the capital, Yun Jiangli had sorted out the whole story with Chen Bai and confirmed the problematic links. The remaining Xianglin spies who were still jumping around also began to be tracked down under Prince Cheng’s arrangement.

 

The old hall master was right. Yun Jiangli was more effective than any panacea for Yan Muning.

 

Enveloped and soothed by the familiar aura, Yan Muning, who had not been able to sleep for a long time, actually began to feel sleepy.

 

Perhaps he was really affected by the little prince’s mood, or perhaps the soup also had some effect, plus the kid was a little scared of his other father’s aura.

 

In short, the kid, who had been tormenting him for several days, finally calmed down a little.

 

Yun Jiangli heard the voice of the youth in his arms getting lower and lower and looked down at him yawning from sleepiness. He could not open his eyes, but his little mouth was still mumbling something.

 

“Go to sleep if you are sleepy.” Yun Jiangli kissed his forehead gently.

 

The little prince half closed his eyes and said vaguely, “No, no, what should I do if you are not here when I wake up…”

 

Yun Jiangli felt a pain in his heart when he heard this.

 

“Xiao Qi, be good and go to sleep.”

 

Yun Jiangli comforted him softly, “I will never leave your side again.”

 

These words seemed to have a powerful magic and finally pulled away the last bit of rationality that the little prince was holding on to and made him fall into a deep sleep.

 

.

 

A good night’s sleep and Yun Jiangli’s return made Yan Muning once again become the soft, carefree, and naive little prince.

 

Yun Jiangli, who had worked hard on the northern border for three months, slept particularly deeply on the first night back in the mansion, and the next day he slept past his usual get-up hour.

 

When he woke up, the first thing he saw was the youth in his arms.

 

The little prince nestled in his arms, sleeping obediently with his body slightly tilted to one side. Perhaps because his belly was too heavy, the youth held his belly with both hands. The light had already penetrated the window into the bedroom, and through the thin bed curtain, it fell on the little prince’s eyelashes, adding a touch of softness.

 

Yun Jiangli stared at him for a long time, and then reluctantly and quietly supported the bed and prepared to get up.

 

The moment he sat up, he felt his scalp tighten, as if something had pulled it. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the little prince muttering something unhappily.

 

Turning his head, he found that a strand of his hair seemed to be entangled with the little prince’s.

 

Yun Jiangli was afraid of accidentally hurting the youth again, so he moved closer. Just as he stretched out his fingers to untangle the hair, he suddenly stopped—

 

The hair was not tangled together.

 

Instead, the little prince had tied their hair together into a small braid at some point.

 

The softest part of Yun Jiangli’s heart was touched by the little prince again, and his sourness seemed to melt.

 

How could this little thing always touch his heart like this?

 

He leaned over, hugged the still sleeping youth, he kissed him without hesitation.

 

The little prince, who had no idea that he had seduced someone, was awakened by such a kiss of longing and attachment on the morning of the first day when his beloved princess consort returned home.

 

In a daze, the little prince responded instinctively to the familiar breath, but he didn’t know that he had ignited the little flame of his lover with his own hands, and then he received an even stronger and more passionate kiss…

 

The small flame was fueled with more and more firewood, and in the end, the only one who suffered was Yun Jiangli.

 

Young Hall Master Yun, who had been cold and aloof for more than 20 years, had a wooden face for the first time and was forced to take a cold shower on a spring morning.
