Chapter 88
Yu She lifted an arm and blocked Zhong Wan . He stiffly said, “D-don’t be like this…”
Yu She had rushed back, disconcerted . Even his hair had been a little messy . Now, a strand of hair had fallen out and was slightly covering his eye, rendering his originally handsome face even colder than usual . Voice pained, Yu She said, “Today won’t do…”
Zhong Wan was about to go crazy with anger because of how awkward this person was . “Then what do you actually want to do? You can’t speak your mind clearly, but also won’t allow me to be intimate with you . ”
“Today won’t do . Wait…” Yu She closed his eyes . His eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, as if he were forcing himself to resist something . “Wait until tomorrow…”
Zhong Wan was lost . “Why? Is tomorrow… a lucky day or something?”
Dazed, Yu She answered, “I’m having a fit…”
After the lights had been extinguished, the dim moonlight fell into the room . Yu She glanced at Zhong Wan . Using the last remaining bit of his clarity, he got out with difficulty, “I’m having a fit . When I wake up tomorrow, I won’t be able to remember anything . Guiyuan, I also won’t be able to remember how good you’re being to me now . Don’t…”
Yu She lowered his head and panted a bit . “Don’t waste your energy . ”
Zhong Wan opened his mouth . Before he could say anything, the rims of his eyes had already turned red .
Yu She lowered his head . Suddenly, he felt a great hatred for those people who had tempted him into eating cold food powder back then .
Yu She took two steps back . He inhaled deeply a few times . “If you’re willing, you can make it up to me… tomorrow . ”
Since in the palace, Yu She had been painfully holding himself back . By now, he was close to having a breakdown . He forced himself to break into a dismal smile . “Naturally, if you don’t make it up, I won’t know either . ”
Yu She seemed to be placating both Zhong Wan and himself . “In comparison to the past, I’ve already gotten a lot better . It’s been a while since I’ve had a fit . When I’m in one, my head also doesn’t hurt as much as before . There’s only one thing I still can’t handle…”
Then he muttered to himself, “I can’t handle you treating me so well when I’m having a fit . ”
One of Zhong Wan’s hands rested on the desk . His lips slightly trembled . All of his organs were twisting in pain because of Yu She’s words .
Yu She retreated a few steps . “Rest well . I’ll sleep in the study tonight . ”
He turned around and made to head out, when Zhong Wan stopped him again by tugging on his sleeve .
In the dark night, Zhong Wan’s tone was relaxed as he said, “It’s fine . So what if you forget?”
Without waiting for Yu She to say anything else, Zhong Wan said, “If you forget, then we’ll do it again tomorrow . And the day after tomorrow . And the day after the day after tomorrow…”
Zhong Wan’s voice was hoarse . “I’m willing to treat you well for the rest of our lives . ”
Upon hearing this, Yu She, who had previously been resolute about getting away from Zhong Wan and finding a place to be alone and calm down, felt like his legs had been filled with lead . He suddenly couldn’t walk out of this door anymore .
For many years, Yu She had headed down the thorny path leading to hell, never wavering or pausing in the slightest . Already, he could no longer remember how many times Zhong Wan had gotten in his way, forcing him to take a different path—a path leading to life—instead .
Right now, not only was Yu She unable to leave anymore . Zhong Wan used just the slightest bit of strength and easily guided him toward the bed .
Stiffly, Yu She leaned against the headboard .
His hair was already a mess . Thus, Zhong Wan simply undid Yu She’s hair . His ink-black strands loosely hung around his face . His gaze was crazed and guarded . This expression was actually a bit terrifying .
But Zhong Wan didn’t feel scared at all .
Not only was he not scared, he also dared to glue himself to Yu She, touching and groping the other .

Failing to discern his words, Yu She asked In a daze, “What?”
“Nothing . ”
Zhong Wan was glued to Yu She’s front . He blindly kissed Yu She’s chin a few times . At the same time, he placed a hand on Yu She’s waist and tentatively moved it a bit lower .
Out of instinct, Yu She lifted a hand to stop him . Yet, Zhong Wan patted Yu She’s hand . His expression was somewhat awkward . “Ziyou, you have to promise me . Later… no matter what, you can’t move . Do you hear me?”
Yu She hesitated for a moment before releasing his grip . He made a barely perceptible noise of acknowledgement .
Following that, Zhong Wan tore open Yu She’s shirt and kissed him on the neck . Then, he kissed the other’s sturdy chest and made his way lower—
Finally, realization struck Yu She . But before he could move out of the way, Zhong Wan had already started “cherishing” him .
Yu She’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down forcefully .
The veins in Yu She’s long and well-shaped arms bulged . He tightly squeezed his eyes shut .
Half an hour later, Zhong Wan held onto Yu She’s waist and buried his face against Yu She’s abdomen . After recovering for a bit, he used his extremely raspy voice to say, “Ziyou, my throat hurts so much…”

In an instant, Yu She regained his wits . He pulled Zhong Wan up and into his arms . Panting, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zhong Wan was honestly too embarrassed to look at Yu She . The two of them had already been intimate with one another, but Yu She had never done this for him . Zhong Wan had only seen it in storybooks before . He had originally assumed it to be easy; unexpectedly, though, it was very tiring . He rested his forehead against Yu She’s shoulder and mumbled, “Don’t ask any more questions . Let me rest a bit . ”
Yu She stopped talking . He thought back on what he had done in the throes of pleasure and felt a bit regretful . He lowered his head and kissed Zhong Wan on the cheek .
This seemed to please Zhong Wan greatly . “K-kiss me once more… I’m already on the brink of death because of you . ”
Yu She placed his hand on the bed and sat up a bit . In a gentle manner, he wrapped his arms around Zhong Wan, switching the other’s position so that he could be more comfortable . Then, he lowered his head and kissed him some more .
As if incredibly satisfied, Zhong Wan murmured a few times .
Like this, Yu She held onto Zhong Wan . A long time later, he asked in a low voice, “Your throat hurts?”
Zhong Wan faintly nodded .
Yu She’s mouth felt dry . He inhaled deeply a few times . “I… Rest by yourself for a bit first . I’ll pour you a cup of tea . ”
“Don’t . ” Zhong Wan didn’t want to move at all . He rubbed his face against Yu She’s chest and softly chuckled . Lowly, he said, “My stomach is already full . I can’t drink anything else . ”
Upon hearing this, Yu She almost pressed Zhong Wan against the bed again .
Greatly pained, Yu She closed his eyes . “Then don’t say anything else . ”
But now, Zhong Wan wasn’t that uncomfortable anymore . He really wanted to speak .
A sigh left Zhong Wan’s lips . “To tell the truth, I regret it . ”
Yu She froze .
Zhong Wan continued, “…If you forget even this tomorrow, I’m at such a terrible disadvantage . ”
Uncontrollably, Yu She’s lips quirked up . He lowly said, “Didn’t you say just now that you’re willing to treat me well for the rest of our lives? If I forget tomorrow, simply do the same thing again . ”
“Don’t . ” Zhong Wan looked very pitiful . His voice was hoarse . “How can the words a man says in bed be taken seriously? I only said that offhandedly . Forget everything . How embarrassing… I would be truly delighted if you forgot everything . ”
Yu She laughed .
How could he be willing to?
Yu She held onto Zhong Wan and suddenly said, “Guiyuan, I have a plan . ”

Zhong Wan was actually still very uncomfortable . However, he didn’t want Yu She to find out . He cleared his throat and asked, “What plan?”
Yu She said, “Record everything . I’ll read it tomorrow morning . ”
“Not okay!” said Zhong Wan at once .
But Yu She felt that this was very okay . “I’ll bring you a brush and some paper . You’re gifted in writing . After you finish writing it, I’ll read it tomorrow, okay?”
Then, following a moment of thought, Yu She added, “Be as detailed as possible…”
Zhong Wan’s face flushed . “Prince, don’t be such a bully . Can you care about your reputation at least a little bit?”
“I don’t want it anymore . ” Yu She lowered his head and pecked Zhong Wan . His gaze was dark . “Right now, I only want you . If not for the fact that the imperial doctor said your body can’t take it, I’d be…”
Even if he had to die, Zhong Wan refused to do such a thing . He was scared that Yu She would be unstoppable if he went into a fit . Thus, he hurriedly changed the topic, saying, “Oh right . Regarding Xuan Rui—what was your actual original plan?”
How could Yu She want to talk about anyone else after just being “taken care of” by his beloved in such a manner? Especially because this person was the person he hated the most . Yu She didn’t answer . He lifted a hand and rubbed Zhong Wan’s neck .
Zhong Wan’s face turned even redder . “What are you touching?”
Yu She still didn’t say anything . He held Zhong Wan down and refused to allow him to move . Slightly apologetic, he gently massaged the other’s neck .
Zhong Wan felt like his bones were turning soft because of this . He knew very clearly what horrid state his body was in and that he couldn’t handle doing anything else tonight . He recited the Qingxin Mantra a few times to himself before saying, “I’m asking you a question . Respond to me . ”
Yu She was very reluctant, but still said, “In my original plan, I would confess the whole truth to you after my people returned to the capital .
“And then, I would send the twins away before the news of Xuan Rui’s death could reach the capital . I would use my subordinates to protect them and keep an eye on them .
“When the news of his death arrived, I would put on a great show with you . It would be best if we could fool Yu Mucheng; if not, that wouldn’t be a big deal either . I originally wanted to kill Xuan Rui . He definitely knew that .
“You know about everything else . He’s already treating Xuan Rui as his last resort . I’m in the light, but he’s in the shadows . We must compete with each other as necessary . Even so, I’m still going to completely ruin Xuan Qiong . And then, I’m going to quietly wait for Yu Mucheng to act and reverse the verdict on Prince Ning’s case . ”
Yu She narrowed his eyes . “I almost made a mistake this time . He’s the better chess player . I willingly admit defeat . ”
“It’s not that he’s very impressive,” Zhong Wan lowly said . “It’s that you have worries . Speaking of this, I should actually be blamed . You have a weakness now, so must worry about more things . He took advantage of this .
“I’m not placating you . ” Before Yu She could say anything, Zhong Wan added, “You and Prince Yu aren’t the same type of people . To win, he can sacrifice anything . He can immediately give up on his biological nephew, Xuan Qiong, and his biological sister, Imperial Consort Yu . What about you? Can you?”
Yu She crisply replied, “We simply have different goals . His goal is to become the prince regent . My goal is you . ”
Zhong Wan’s heart softened . He said, “What was it… Xuan Rui . ”
“Relax . Prince Yu is more scared than anyone else that something will happen to him . He definitely won’t harm him in the slightest . Besides, my people are still keeping an eye on him,” Yu She said, displeased . “At most, he’s going to get a little scared . Nothing will happen to him . ”

Zhong Wan burst into laughter . “Don’t be in such a rush to explain . I’m not that insensible . So what if he gets knocked around a little bit?”
Once he had heard this, Yu She’s expression no longer looked so dark .
Zhong Wan gave it some thought . “It’s probably going to take several days before the news of his death reaches the capital . The biggest fear now is that Prince Yu will pull another trick . I think…”
“What?”
Zhong Wan shifted . He said, “I recall that you have a manor in the suburbs outside the capital too?”
Yu She nodded .
“Let’s send Congxin and Xuan Yu there,” Zhong Wan said . “You won’t need to do anything . I’ll go tell them . These days, the capital has been experiencing an unusually cold spell in an otherwise warm and early spring . I’ll just tell them that I’m sending them to have fun at the manor for a few days to avoid this strange weather . ”
Zhong Wan added, “Nobody will pay attention if you send extra people to your own manor . Keep a close eye on them . ”
This would be best . Yu She nodded . “I’ll listen to you . ”
Zhong Wan rubbed his face against Yu She . “Everything’s fine now . Sleep . ”
A night filled with pleasant dreams .
After waking up in the morning, Zhong Wan opened his eyes and looked around . The sun was already high in the sky . Yu She had probably already headed off to morning court .
Zhong Wan’s throat still felt a bit uncomfortable . He coughed a few times and sighed .
Last night, he had been so well behaved and had worked so hard .
What a pity . Today, Yu She wouldn’t be able to remember anything .
Zhong Wan placated himself by trying to find the silver lining: it’s good if he forgets . Yesterday, I was quite embarrassing .
Zhong Wan got up and got ready . After he had changed clothes, Steward Feng walked in with some tea .
Zhong Wan accepted the tea cup and took a sip . In surprise, he said, “Snow pear tea? What a coincidence that you’ve actually prepared this type of tea . ”
Steward Feng smiled . “How could it be a coincidence? It was Prince who gave the order this morning . He said that Young Master’s throat would definitely be uncomfortable today and that you would need to drink something that’ll protect your throat . ”
Zhong Wan choked on a mouthful of tea .
How come he hadn’t forgotten this time?!
