After hearing this, the imperial concubine let go of her worries.
She never thought that such a young man could have such a big impact in Lu Cong’s heart, but since her lover wanted to give it a try, let him give it a try ba. Anyway, they found someone to take the blame, so what did they have to worry about?
The man held the imperial concubine’s hand and said: “When the emperor dies, the child in your belly will be the crown prince. Then you will be the empress dowager and I will act as regent. How about it?”
They had planned this way before, but at this time the imperial concubine couldn’t help but ask worriedly: “What if it isn’t a prince?”
The man laughed. He comforted the imperial concubine and said: “How could it not be a prince? Don’t you trust me?”
The imperial concubine had seen this man’s tricks before. He had medicine in his hands, which was made from the wings of a certain insect. If it was fed to a person, they would not have any adverse reactions, but they would from then on live and die with the insect, without a soul noticing.
Later, they secretly administered the medicine to the emperor, who still didn’t know about it.
The emperor seemed to be alive and well, but no one knew that the emperor had already become a puppet controlled by them. If they wanted him to live, he would live, and if they wanted him to die, he would die immediately.
One night, the box containing the insect was knocked to the ground by a clumsy palace servant. The insect inside was frightened and became motionless. The imperial concubine was startled and thought that the dog emperor was going to die too.
Later, when she saw that the insect came back to life, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief.
From then on, she was very careful with handling the insect.
It was already dark outside. Chu Xia slowly got up from the bed and walked in front of Lu Cong. He always felt as if he was raising a wife outside the palace.
He lowered his head to help him tie his belt. Lu Cong looked at the top of his head and raised his hand to touch his head. He wanted to bring this person home.
But this person always disagreed, saying that he had to think about it again. Lu Cong couldn’t understand. How could there be a prostitute who didn’t want to be paid free? Was he still thinking about that Zhou-gongzi?
Lu Cong was very unhappy when he thought that someone got him before him and got into his heart in advance.
Lu Cong was a little regretful. Why didn’t he come to Nanfeng Pavilion earlier? Maybe he could have met him earlier. But the past couldn’t be changed. No one had the ability to turn back time.
Lu Cong did not stay overnight in the Nanfeng Pavilion. After he left, Chu Xia changed his clothes and walked back to the palace with the secret guards.
The first time the secret guards came, they were outside the Nanfeng Pavilion and had no idea what was going on in the Nanfeng Pavilion. Later, when he came again, Chu Xia would bring them into the Nanfeng Pavilion, though he didn’t allow them to show their faces, so the two secret guards often saw Lu Cong entering the emperor’s room.
The secret guards were extremely confused. Didn’t they all say that the emperor and General Lu were absolutely irreconcilable because the emperor had taken his wife forcefully? It was really strange that these two people could live in harmony in the Nanfeng Pavilion now. Who could believe it and who dared to believe it.
Every time His Majesty came out, he didn’t look sore at all, but occasionally there would be a little red mark on the back of his neck as if he was bitten by a mosquito.
The dark guard, who was as pure as the system, didn’t know how in that room, the dignified emperor of a country was pushed on the table by Lu Cong and how his clothes were torn apart, and how he was kissed so hard that he couldn’t even finish his words.
Because the body below the neck was covered with mosaic, the system immediately screamed when it saw this scene for the first time. Chu Xia was dazed by Lu Cong’s kiss at that time. He just raised his head and was frightened by the system’s scream. However, he already had a lock on his lower body. If he raised his head, he would only suffer. It was a reminder to him.
The system whined and cried non-stop. Chu Xia could only comfort him and said that there was a bug in the System Centre and that he was fine here.
The system felt a little relieved and reported the bug to the leaders at the Centre.
But the system is still a little confused. In the Nanfeng Pavilion, the villain and Team Leader Chu seemed to get along quite happily, so why did Chu Xia still look very unhappy? It asked Chu Xia: “Team Leader Chu you don’t seem to be very happy ah?”
In the view of the system, with such great progress with the villain, other hosts could set off fireworks to celebrate, but Team Leader Chu’s attitude always made the system a little worried.
Was it because Team Leader Chu had already completed two tasks, so he was unfazed?
The system felt that the task of this world may be completed by Team Leader Chu’s hard work.
It just might require Team Leader Chu to sacrifice a little bit of his chastity.
Leader Chu, the Flower of the High Mountains, actually had to sacrifice his chastity. The system sighed. This would probably be more uncomfortable for Leader Chu than killing him ba.
The system didn’t know how Team Leader Chu would choose in the end, but thinking of the instructions from the leaders of the System Centre before leaving, hoping that Team Leader Chu could have a better time in this world, the system asked Chu Xia: “Team Leader Chu, what do you want?”
Chu Xia lay on the collapse, sighed sadly and told the system: “I want to sleep.”
Immediately, the system eagerly said: “You should go to sleep ba. Do you want me to play you a lullaby? It’s a newly updated version and it sounds fine to me.”
The pure system did not understand how many plots in Chu Xia’s sleep should be mosaiced. He hated it for being slow-witted.
Chu Xia was lying on the bed, his whole body was a little wilted. He yawned, really sleepy, and said to the system: “Forget it ba.”
The system let out a sigh of disappointment.
The leaders from the System Centre often came to ask how Chu Xia was doing in this world. The system told them truthfully that although there were occasional problems, Team Leader Chu’s body and mind were still healthy.
The leaders were relieved. They chose such an identity for Team Leader Chu, and it was indeed the right decision. Hopefully Team Leader Chu could enjoy himself in this world.
The system thought for a while and sent a message to the leaders. Team Leader Chu seems to be busy opening locks recently. Is there any golden finger that can help?
The leaders immediately contacted Team Leader Lin of the Golden Finger Research and Development team. Team Leader Lin replied that the golden fingers they had created did not contain this function, but that didn’t matter. For Team Leader Chu, he was willing to work overtime to develop this kind of golden finger in the shortest amount of time possible.
The leader thought it was better to forget it, then. It would take at least three to five years from the development of the golden finger to its use. It was estimated that by then Team Leader Chu would have returned from the small world below.
Emperor Chu Xia was becoming more and more bored. The same things happened in the court day in and day out. The smart people pretended to be stupid, and the stupid people were very annoying. The imperial concubine had calmed down a bit, knowing that he had no ability, so she was busy plotting against Lu Cong, but she didn’t appear in front of him very much.
Lu Cong still refused to go to court, and someone finally filed a complaint, talking about how he was a dignified first-class general, but he didn’t go to court or fight, and just lingered in brothels all day long, and how unworthy he was.
What the imperial censor said was well-founded and his words were sharp. Chu Xia was embarrassed to say that he and Lu Cong had gone to the Nanfeng Pavilion together, and now it seemed that he was listening to people scolding him.
The hundred officials were waiting for Chu Xia to come and take action. Although Lu Cong now held military power in his hands, Lu Cong was not the only one who wanted to be the lord of the world. They didn’t know which team the imperial censor was on. They thought His Majesty would be very angry after hearing it, but when they secretly glanced at Chu Xia, he didn’t look very angry. This was really strange.
Chu Xia was happy to see Lu Cong’s absence in court. If he had less contact with him, he wouldn’t not recognize him in the Nanfeng Pavilion.
But he never went to court, and Chu Xia was worried whether he was secretly working with Xiao Tianheng to overthrow him.
Tsk.
Might as well get overthrown. He’d quickly hurry back to the System Centre to change the world.
In the end, Chu Xia just said: “Then let General Lu stay at home for a little longer ba.”
The courtiers were not satisfied with this result. Even if His Majesty could not take away Lu Cong’s military power, he should be given a good beating. What kind of punishment was not being allowed to go to court? Lu Cong was not sure how happy he was.
It might really be time for a change in the Great Zhou.
Whether you ascend to the sky in one step or end up in pieces depends on your own abilities.
When Lu Cong received the news from the secret guard, his face was cold and noncommittal.
Lu Cong also had two younger brothers, half-brothers, born to the wife that the Marquis of Beijing later married. They’d been favoured since birth. The Marquis wanted to pass on his title to the eldest of the two brothers. He did not even think that Lu Cong could smoothly become an adult.
Now that Lu Cong had become a first-class general, he didn’t care for the title of Marquis. The Marquis, on the other hand, after he returned to the capital, often sent people to find him and get closer to him. His father might also have some thoughts about that position up there.
It really looked like the dog emperor was about to die. Any cat and dog dared to come out and take a bite of meat.
Chu Xia finished up court, changed into plain clothes, gave some instructions to the eunuchs around him and secretly ran off to Nanfeng Pavilion. Lu Cong came later than usual today, and he didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.
Lu Cong had a difficult childhood, and Chu Xia felt particularly sorry for him every time he thought of the scenes of him being beaten severely by his mother, while the Marquis looked on coldly.
People say that a tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs, but if it really was cruel, it wouldn’t matter what he was.
It was too miserable. It had not been not easy for Lu Cong to grow so big with complete hands and feet.
Chu Xia touched his hand and patted Lu Cong’s shoulder, making Lu Cong confused and causing him to give him a doubtful glance.
Chu Xia knew that he had a bad stomach during this period and could not drink tea or alcohol. Chu Xia personally went to the small kitchen behind the Nanfeng Pavilion and stewed a pot of hot soup to nourish Lu Cong’s stomach.
Except for not being able to sleep with Lu Cong, Chu Xia felt that he had done everything a lover could do.
He was gentle and considerate, and wished Lu Cong well with all his heart. Most importantly, he didn’t need money.
Although Lu Cong went to the Nanfeng Pavilion to meet Chu Xia every day, he still hadn’t figured out what he felt for Chu Xia. At first, his interest was inexplicable and sudden, but later, he couldn’t help but come to Nanfeng Pavilion and he was angry when he heard that Chu Xia had someone in his heart.
Maybe it was love.
But Lu Cong didn’t want it to be love. He had seen his mother fall in love with his father. It was too scary and pitiful.
He didn’t want love, he just wanted to keep this person by his side. He got the tenderness from Chu Xia that he never got from his mother or Lin Mengyue.
Chu Xia’s fingers gently stroked Lu Cong’s long black hair, and he looked down at Lu Cong’s brows, slightly furrowed in his sleep. Chu Xia couldn’t help but think, what did Lu Cong want?
After a while, Lu Cong, who was resting on Chu Xia’s thigh, opened his eyes. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. After a while, he came back to his senses, despising himself for letting down his guard in the tenderness.
Lu Cong sat up and glanced at Chu Xia coolly. Chu Xia tilted his head. The expression on Lu Cong’s face did not change at this time, but he seemed to feel that Lu Cong’s mood changed in an instant.
But villains were sick and he should be considerate of them.
Lu Cong stared at Chu Xia for a while, then suddenly reached out and took him into his arms, hugged him and kissed him for a while.
Chu Xia’s hands hugged Lu Cong back.
He was distracted for a moment and let Lu Cong take advantage of him. His belt was untied and hung loosely there. Chu Xia came back to his senses and knew it couldn’t go on like this, so he put his hands on Lu Cong’s chest.
During the next exchange, Lu Cong’s fingers accidentally touched hard metal, and his face changed.
In this period of time, he and Chu Xia had read a lot of picture albums in the Nanfeng Pavilion. He was familiar with the things in the Nanfeng Pavilion and could probably guess what it was.
Thinking that when Chu Xia was flirting with him, he was wearing something from another man, Lu Cong felt a burst of fire rushing towards the top of his head and he wanted to strangle him to death.
Chu Xia felt bad. He got up from the bed, turned his head and ran, but he was really no better than Lu Cong. Lu Cong caught him like an eagle catching a chick, and soon he was caught by the neck.
Not just by the neck.
“What is this?” He looked straight at Chu Xia and asked him.
Chu Xia took a step back, but the lock that was separated by the fabric was tightly held in Lu Cong’s hand, which caused Chu Xia a little pain. He could only come back obediently, head lowered and eyes downcast, as if he was admitting his mistake, and said to Lu Cong: “It’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing?” Lu Cong laughed angrily. The force in his hand was especially strong, but the lock was made of good iron and wouldn’t be deformed easily. He asked Chu Xia: “What does that mean, it’s nothing? Are you staying with me while also staying faithful to another man?”
Chu Xia pouted. Lu Cong knew too little about him. Was he the kind of person who could stay faithful?
How could he have such a misunderstanding about himself? This was so inappropriate.
If his husband were to die, he could find a new one the next day.
Chu Xia stared at Lu Cong for a while, wondering if his previous acting skills were too realistic, which made Lu Cong think he was so infatuated with some Zhou-gongzi he’d wear such a terrible thing for him.
Chu Xia sighed softly. This could be regarded as his own fault. He took a step forward and hugged Lu Cong gently: “It’s not what you think.”
Lu Cong was like a furious lion. Chu Xia’s comfort indeed made him less scary than before. He stared at Chu Xia and asked him: “Then what is it?”
“It was an accident, not what I wanted.”
Lu Cong looked straight at him, not looking as if he believed that. Chu Xia took a breath and planned to explain, but before he could speak, he heard Lu Cong say: “I want to take a look.”
What did he want to see? Chu Xia blinked and looked at Lu Cong, pretending to be confused.
Lu Cong said bluntly: “I promised not to look at your face, but I didn’t promise not to look at that.”
Chu Xia: “…”
It’s his fault?
Blame him for not thinking about it well, not speaking rigorously enough, and failing to think of the possibility of this scene in advance. Speaking of it, how could Lu Cong be touched?
Ai.
Chu Xia didn’t move. Lu Cong looked at him and stopped talking. Chu Xia lowered his head and glanced at Lu Cong’s hand that was still holding the lock. He breathed out, hoping that Lu Cong hadn’t put the broken lock on him. “I will do it myself.”
Lu Cong loosened his grip. Chu Xia pulled away, took two steps back, sat down on the bed and took off his pants.
Lu Cong’s Adam’s apple slid up and down twice, and he stared at him closely.
Lu Cong never imagined that Chu Xia would be wearing such a thing before. He walked towards Chu Xia step by step, bent down, and asked Chu Xia: “Who put this on you?”
The anger in his eyes almost turned into substance and sprayed towards Chu Xia. Chu Xia looked at him and looked down at the lock on his body. Brother, don’t spray at me ah, spray at this lock ah, maybe you can melt this unfortunate thing off.
He raised his head again, his eyes were wet, and he leaned back a little, and said softly: “I… I don’t know either.”
“You don’t know?” Lu Cong raised Chu Xia’s chin and asked him: “Do you really not know or are you just pretending not to know?”
Chu Xia was helpless. If he knew who put this thing on him, he would kill them.
“I really don’t know,” Chu Xia said with some pain, “I just took a nap and when I woke up, I had this thing on my body?”
The more Chu Xia spoke, the more aggrieved he became. Was there any emperor more unlucky than him in the world?
The original owner was good. The emperor had enjoyed things. Eyes closed, legs kicked in, and he was gone, and Chu Xia was left with this terrible mess.
Lu Cong looked at Chu Xia for a long time, and when he saw that it didn’t look like he was lying, he released the hand holding his chin, lowered his head and looked at the lock on Chu Xia’s body, as if he was in a daze.
Chu Xia got up from the bed and pulled up his pants. He walked to the table to drink a cup of tea to calm down. He put down the cup in his hand and turned around. Lu Cong was waving to him. “Come here and let me take another look.”
Chu Xia was thinking about what was so beautiful about this thing. If Lu Cong liked it, he was willing to pay Lu Cong to get one too.
Chu Xia came to Lu Cong. Lu Cong checked it and soon determined that Chu Xia’s lock was made of Yunzhou fine iron. If he used his strength, he could break the lock, but if he made the slightest mistake, Chu Xia would definitely be injured, or maybe the lock would be deformed, making it impossible to open it even if he found the key in the future.
Lu Cong flicked the delicate lock and asked Chu Xia: “For how long has it been locked up?”
“It’s been a while.”
“Want to open it?”
Chu Xia vigorously nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, eyes sparkling, as he expectantly looked at Lu Cong.
Lu Cong was soft-hearted when he saw him. He touched Chu Xia’s head. “Come home with me. I’ll find someone to help you find a way to unlock it for you, okay?”
Chu Xia was a little moved. There were a lot of capable people around Lu Cong, maybe he could really help him open the lock.
If the following people could regain their freedom, this unlucky emperor would be fine.
But if Lu Cong discovered his identity…
This was the only thing Chu Xia was really worried about, but if he thought about it deeply, if Lu Cong really discovered it, the worst case scenario was that he died and returned to the System Centre, so there was nothing to worry about.
Mosaic ah! Mosaic is the best!
Chu Xia immediately felt that giving up the false title of emperor was a good choice. He said to Lu Cong: “Give me two days to prepare.”
Lu Cong nodded: “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
After Chu Xia returned to the palace from Nanfeng Pavilion, he began to think about how he could die without anyone noticing. Later, he felt that dying was too troublesome. It was better to leave the palace directly.
The people in the palace couldn’t find the emperor, so they would naturally figure something out.
Chu Xia packed his bags and took many, many yinpiao with him. Even if Lu Cong abandoned him one day, he could go out and raise a lovely person.
One person wasn’t enough. He had to support a group. Chu Xia thought of this and stuffed another stack of yinpiao into his luggage.
This time he didn’t even bring any secret guards with him. He came to the Nanfeng Pavilion alone and waited for Lu Cong to pick him up.
He waited and waited. Lu Cong didn’t come, but a group of people wearing black did. Before Chu Xia could react, they swarmed up, blocked Chu Xia’s mouth, and then kidnapped him in a slightly disorderly manner.
Chu Xia was put into a sack and carried out from Nanfeng Pavilion.
Chu Xia was a little bumped up. He and Lu Cong had been secretly dating for several days. On the last day, he didn’t bring any secret guards with him, and then he was kidnapped.
Oh fuck.
