Chapter 126: This King Will Carry You to the Bridal Chamber
The State Letter was written in standard regular script (Kaishu), using the language of Great Wei. The rough meaning was:
The Turkic Khan congratulates the young ruler of Wei on assuming personal governance. A diplomatic mission will soon arrive in Chang’an with congratulatory gifts. It is hoped that this visit will promote friendly exchanges between the two nations.
In simpler terms:
—The Turks are entering the capital.
During the last encounter with the Turkic remnants, Wei Wanlan had experienced thrill after thrill. First, he witnessed a fierce battle from the flower float, then he fell from the float and rolled down the mountain path… in short, it was as miserable as could be.
The Turks brought him terrible memories.
So, ever since receiving this State Letter, Wei Wanlan had been absent-minded during his evening meal.
There was a stewed dish in the dinner spread—Blood Swallow Nest. It was originally a top-quality nourishing tonic, but seeing this bloody, red, gooey thing made him want to vomit. However, worried about implicating the innocent imperial chefs, he was embarrassed to say so explicitly.
Fortunately, when it came to serving the Emperor, An Ruyi could always accurately read his expressions. He immediately ordered the maids to remove the untouched Blood Swallow from the table.
Wei Wanlan blushed and reminded him, “Will it be wasted?”
An Ruyi: “It won’t be wasted. Blood Swallow is great for beauty and nourishment; once they take it away, they will surely share it among themselves.”
Only then did Wei Wanlan nod. His mind was still full of thoughts about welcoming the Turkic mission. His imagination was so rich that more than one scene of a terrorist attack unfolded in his brain: the Imperial Palace on fire, Chang’an City burned to scorched earth, blackened ruin everywhere…
It’s over, it’s over. I can’t eat this charcoal-grilled lamb chop on the table either QAQ.
Wei Wanlan carefully put down a bone. The bone was gray-white, glistening with residual oil.
The sentence Su Jingzhi always told him flashed in his mind:
“Ashina Shali eats people.”
Wuwu!
Is the big boss of Mission Three very hard to deal with? Will snapping his fingers destroy Great Wei?? If Zhen doesn’t win against him, instead of choking to death, I’ll be roasted, right???
In short, he put no heart into eating dinner.
Su Jingzhi asked An Ruyi, who was attending at the side, “Does His Majesty always eat this little lately?”
Eunuch An thought for a moment and bowed to answer, “It’s been during this period since your recovery that His Majesty eats less than before…”
Wei Wanlan twitched his ears. Is eating less not allowed either?
Could it be some aftereffect of the Twin Gu? Thinking this, Su Jingzhi stopped eating too. He wiped his palms with a soft cloth, then touched his palm to Wei Wanlan’s face and forehead. “Do you feel unwell anywhere?”
With his head being rubbed by the Regent’s large, rough hand, Wei Wanlan involuntarily lowered his eyes. His crow-wing eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks. The Regent is so good.
Wei Wanlan shook his head. “I don’t feel unwell.”
An Ruyi hurriedly added, “One day His Majesty said his stomach hurt. Imperial Physician Fang came to check and only said His Majesty’s pulse was chaotic and different from ordinary people. He prescribed some medicine to regulate the meridians and qi and blood. But later, His Majesty’s stomach ache went away, and there were no other reactions, so he decided on his own not to take it.”
Su Jingzhi frowned slightly.
An Ruyi said anxiously, “Your Highness, forgive me! That Blood Swallow was a medicinal diet prepared to nourish His Majesty’s body. This slave thought that since all medicine is three parts poison, it wasn’t strictly His Majesty voluntarily stopping the medication.”
The Regent cares about me more than he cares about anyone else.
He treats Zhen differently; toward others, he is mostly majestic and severe.
The feeling surfaced in Wei Wanlan’s heart again that he and Su Jingzhi were irreplaceable to each other. The two of them were different from others.
He quickly grabbed Su Jingzhi’s arm with his dragon paws, breaking into a smile, and coaxed softly, “Don’t be angry. We were wrong~”
Su Jingzhi: “You aren’t wrong; This King is wrong. It’s This King who manages you every day to do this and that, like a big villain.”
As Su Jingzhi said this, his tone lifted a few degrees. He picked up another bowl of soup from the dining table, tilted his head, and gulped it down. He placed the bowl on the table.
As a result, both Wei Wanlan and An Ruyi were stunned. Master and servant looked at each other. An Ruyi was secretly smiling to himself.
Wei Wanlan blinked his deer eyes and smiled too.
He suddenly realized:
—So even the dignified Regent throws tantrums?
—The Regent is being petty, so… should I coax him too?
Wei Wanlan got up and hugged the Regent’s neck from behind, making a show of pinching his shoulders and pounding his back.
He performed these actions very smoothly because he had accumulated rich experience when pleasing the “Big Villain Regent” before. Now, it all came naturally into use.
Wei Wanlan even knew that if he squeezed heavily on the area above the Regent’s scapula and below the cervical vertebrae, he would feel very comfortable. He would straighten his back more, tilt his head back slightly, and exhale through his mouth.
Wei Wanlan quickly got to work.
He pinched and pinched until his paws hurt a little. Su Jingzhi’s shoulders and back were solid, his bones hard, covered entirely in muscle. Although he couldn’t see clearly through the clothes, he had seen everything from head to toe when applying medicine powder to Su Jingzhi.
Wei Wanlan’s small face suddenly exploded red.
The memory of seeing the Regent naked in Yichuan Village was now exceptionally vivid. “A part of the Regent” appeared in his memory.
He remembered that “part of the Regent” hadn’t changed at first; it only changed because he touched it.
Today in the small boat was the same. Originally, it hadn’t changed, but because he provoked it, “that part of the Regent” changed again.
Both times it changed, it was because of him.
In other words, it only stood up because of him…
!!!
Thinking of this, Wei Wanlan’s shoulder-pinching motion paused slightly. That blushing face instantly looked as if it were about to bleed.
At this moment, his gaze involuntarily crossed over the Regent’s shoulder and looked down. But blocked by the tablecloth, he couldn’t see the thighs clearly. Wei Wanlan’s rich imagination went to work, feeling it was very possible that “part of the Regent” was standing up right now too.
Then—
When he touches my hair, pinches my paws, or holds me while sleeping at night, is he always in this state?
What does he want to do by becoming like that?
The scene from the Mianhua Pavilion vividly replayed.
Wei Wanlan had a sudden epiphany:
He, he, he, the Regent… The Regent also wants to do that baby-making thing with Zhen!
But the Regent once said the Su family rules do not allow descendants to linger in romantic venues. To do that with someone, they must be sure they like them.
So if he has this thought about me, does that mean… the Regent likes me?
Led by this chain of associations, Wei Wanlan stopped moving for a long time. His brain kept mulling over this possibility. His already not-so-bright head, undergoing such a ring-by-ring deduction and consideration, felt like his skull cap was about to burn through.
He stopped the massage, his heart in chaos.
Su Jingzhi pressed the hand resting on his shoulder. “Why did you stop?”
Wei Wanlan came back to his senses blankly. He couldn’t very well say it was because he associated it with the two of them getting married in the future. He absent-mindedly made an excuse: ” Zhen, Zhen is a bit tired. I’m full today and played until I’m tired. Zhen wants to go back to the bedchamber to sleep…”
He didn’t expect that what awaited him next was rising into the air. Wei Wanlan’s deer eyes widened.
He hadn’t expected Su Jingzhi to reach behind and hoist him up. The Regent stood. Thus, Wei Wanlan followed his line of sight and rose much higher. He jostled his legs and adjusted his position.
Wei Wanlan had inexplicably been piggybacked.
Thump-thump, thump-thump!
His heart beat wildly in his chest.
Caught off guard, Wei Wanlan had to hug the Regent tighter, fearing he would fall. He asked in a panic:
“What is this for?”
“Going back to the bedchamber to sleep.”
Wuwuwu, why does it sound like: This King is carrying you to the bridal chamber?
Provoked by this overly blunt imagination, Wei Wanlan shrank his neck into the Regent’s shoulder socket. The little ostrich buried his head. The woodsy scent attacked aggressively. His heart and chest were filled with the Regent. The little ostrich couldn’t hide even if he wanted to, but the Regent couldn’t see his face right now.
But—
“A part of the Little Emperor” also looked up!
Especially while being carried by Su Jingzhi.
He was pressed tight against Su Jingzhi’s back. “A part of the Little Emperor” was full of vitality. After being detoxified, the Regent’s senses were extremely keen.
He. Must. Be. Able. To. Feel. It…
Too shameful!!!
So that thing really changes because of wanting to do baby-making things?
Wei Wanlan buried his small face extremely deep into the shoulder; he was red and hot.
Su Jingzhi was naturally fully aware of Wei Wanlan’s state. He secretly rejoiced in his heart at this progress, but his expression remained impassive. He maintained the motion of carrying the Little Emperor back to the bedchamber while the Little Emperor squirmed restlessly on his back.
Passing through the corridors of Zichen Hall, the palace maids blushed and lowered their heads upon seeing this scene, only daring to watch the tips of the Regent’s boots pass before their eyes, his steps vigorous and steady.
Cherishing him deeply, the Regent carried the person he cared about most.
On the other end, An Ruyi put the hot water on to boil again.
However, he truly didn’t touch the Little Fool tonight.
Because suddenly, there was something more worrying.
After checking the Little Fool carefully, Su Jingzhi confirmed that the Twin Gu hadn’t caused any organic damage to Wei Wanlan. Only then did he let go of the Little Fool, who had turned into a cooked shrimp again.
Wei Wanlan wrapped himself in a small quilt, his eyes red.
The enthusiasm of “a part of Wei Wanlan” receding was a relatively long process. He was sure the Regent knew. So embarrassing.
But the Regent seemed more concerned about whether he was sick. Since entering the bedchamber, he had taken his pulse, checked his tongue coating and eyelids, and still worried, wrestled his wrist to test his strength. Finally, he decided to have Imperial Physician Fang observe him again during the routine pulse check.
…Mmm, the feeling of being cared for by the Regent is still very good.
Hehe.
Wei Wanlan comforted him, “Divine Physician Hao only told Zhen at the time that using the Gu might have side effects, but he wasn’t certain the Twin Gu would definitely have side effects. So Zhen might just be fatigued from the summer, or had a stomach ache from eating too many cold things. There shouldn’t be any problem.”
Su Jingzhi nodded faintly. “I hope it’s nothing.”
The topic turned back to the Turkic State Letter. He said to Wei Wanlan, “Don’t be afraid. The mission shouldn’t cause trouble. It’s summer now; the grassland is lush with water and grass. The Turks won’t forgo the spring and summer seasons for resting and recuperating. Attacks are mostly in autumn and winter.”
Wei Wanlan: “Coming to steal food?”
“En. No land, can’t grow grain. When wind and snow pass through, their ability to resist disaster is very weak.”
That is actually quite pitiful.
Perhaps worried that Wei Wanlan would think of donating money and goods again, Su Jingzhi told him the reality of the border between the two countries: “Over the past hundred years, when Turkic looters came to kill the people of Great Wei, they never showed mercy. Wherever they passed, life was devastated, and not a blade of grass grew.”
Wei Wanlan fell silent as expected.
But after a moment of silence, there was still a sentence in his head he wanted to say. He chose a tone more befitting the Monarch of Great Wei:
” Zhen wants the people on both sides to live well.”
The little peace dove hated war; this was his nature.
This was also an important reason that could convince him to complete Mission Three. Zhen fights for peace. I don’t want to be a plunderer, nor a conqueror.
Then, when Mission Three is done, only Mission One is left. Will the system only choke me half to death?
If I’m choked half to death, as long as I find a way to spit that mouthful of food out, wouldn’t that be equivalent to passing the level smoothly?
—In short, I still have to complete Mission Three!!!
Inside his deer-like eyes, waves rippled. Wei Wanlan was once again filled with motivation to do the mission. Before, he did missions to kill Su Jingzhi; now, he did missions to live on together with the Regent.
Su Jingzhi looked at him, finding him cuter the more he looked, and pinched the tip of Wei Wanlan’s small nose.
The Nine Dragon Mirror reflected the smiling face Wei Wanlan raised when his nose was pinched. It was beautiful and innocent, dazzling enough to make one’s heart palpitate.
Wei Wanlan spoke with a nasal tone:
“The mission arrives in Great Wei the day after tomorrow. Regent King, don’t let them make trouble in the city. Zhen wants to send them away quickly.”
