Chapter 26 He Really Wanted to Slap Yue

Yun Xi went to bed after Yun Zhi left. She fell into a deep sleep while holding Yue’s hands that were wrapped by bandages. Even though Yue's hands were wrapped by thick and white bandages, they were still very warm, which made her feel at ease. No matter Yue was a woman or a man, he was the person who the girl cared about most. She even felt a little happy about knowing that he was a man. It was like a special part of her heart was touched. After the assassination, Yue fled and other people committed suicide. Crown Prince Yun Su was capable and smart, but even he couldn't find out the source immediately. That day, they searched the whole imperial palace and only found those court eunuchs, palace maids and guards who had been drugged or killed. Even the cook who had poisoned them had committed suicide. Yue was the main reason why those assassins were unexpectedly loyal. He was a rare talent. Yue always treated people sincerely and strictly kept the rules for reward and punishment. The men he had trained were all very heroic. Because of this incident, the atmosphere of the imperial court session was intense. King Yun became angrier and angrier. All ministers felt insecure. They were worried that if they made a bit of a slip of their tongues, King Yun would vent his anger on them. These days, Yun Zhi was in a good mood. He felt very comfortable whenever he saw King Yun being unhappy in the imperial court session. Besides, Yue was still in a coma because of excessive loss of blood. He had to rest quietly to recuperate. In this case, Yun Zhi could spend time with Yun Xi alone every day. Their relationship had been much closer. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yun Zhi always came to Yun Xi's room through the window at night to help cure Yue. When he had time off during the daytime, he would also come to Xiyan Palace. He took good care of Yue for the girl in every aspect, such as helping him apply and take medicine, as well as get dressed. Yun Zhi didn't have to be polite when feeding Yue. Instead of mouth to mouth, Yun Zhi pinched Yun’s chin and poured the food down directly. Yun Zhi didn't care about whether Yue was choked. But even so, Yue still recovered quickly. He was not always in deep sleep now. These days, Yun Xi hardly left her room. She always stayed with Yue. Yue had never opened his eyes. Even though Yun Zhi had ensured that Yue was fine, Yun Xi still felt very worried. She was much thinner, which made Yun Zhi feel pitiful. The handsome, righteous, and elegant general was here many times a day. He now had dark eye circles, but he had been in high spirits. He was willing to sacrifice anything for getting along well with his beloved girl and keeping this sincere relationship between them. Sometimes Yun Zhi felt so complicated—the only way he could get closer to his beloved girl was to heal his rival in love. Besides, it's he who had sent his rival in love to his beloved girl. In the hot spring, he even guarded the door for them like a fool! Yun Zhi had been resourceful, but now he was like a joke. Of course, he had investigated Yue. He only knew that he was the confidential guard King Xuan left to him. People of the Kingdom of Xuan were not involved in the assassination. He felt most angry about the fact that he thought Yue was a woman, but it turned out that Yue was actually a man. Yun Zhi could only ask Yue himself after he woke up. In the meantime, Yun Zhi was kind of selfish. He hoped Yue could wake up as late as possible. It would be best that Yue woke up after Yun Xi fell in love with him. However, such a thing would never happen. A few days later, Yue woke up. Yun Xi was so excited that she hugged him in her arms. She cried her heart out because eventually her Yue was back. Yue was wrapped by bandages, and now he could barely move. However, he still leaned on the girl. The girl had lost a lot of weight. Her hair was slightly dishevelled and her face was covered in tears. Her white dress was not as clean as it could have been, but she still wore the hairpin he had given her. Yue felt so sorry and nostalgic. He now knew he was deep in love. After the assassination, he realized how important their relationship was. He wanted to hold Yun Xi in his arms forever, but he couldn't move freely—the girl was hugging him so tightly. They were hugging intimately. It seemed that they had completely ignored Yun Zhi in the room, and they could never be separated. Yun Zhi had been there since the imperial court session was over. The scene hurt him so much. Yun Zhi was overwhelmed with hatred. He now really wanted to knock down Yue. However, the reality had taught him to be tolerant. He had tried so hard to get closer to Yun Xi, and he couldn't destroy their relationship that he had tried so hard to maintain. Yun Zhi would not let go of the girl. He didn’t think he couldn't beat Yue with a suspicious background. Yun Zhi coughed twice on purpose, and the two people separated immediately after hearing it. Yun Xi looked up and saw Yun Zhi. She blushed and finally remembered there was another person in the room. Yue had been like a mummy and been in bed for many days, so he had almost lost all his strength. But after seeing Yun Zhi, he suddenly had the strength to pull the girl back into his arms dominantly. Yue was wrapped in bandages so that he couldn't hold her tightly. However, he put his chin against her hair, kissing the girl's hair intentionally while staring at Yun Zhi with his mature and sharp eyes aggressively. Yun Xi was a shy girl after all, so she pushed Yue away immediately. However, the naughty Yue screamed that he was in great pain and talked to the girl in a spoiled manner. "Yinzhu, I’m hurt... hurt... hurt... Yue was in pain!" The girl was fooled, and she did not dare to move anymore. She touched the wound on Yue’s chest with pity. Her pure eyes were filled with anxiety. "Yue, I was not intentional. Are you still hurt?" "The pain will be gone if Yinzhu keeps touching it." Yun Xi's face was now blushing. She didn't know if she should keep touching him. She was worried that Yue was in pain. However, she also felt Yue was fooling her. Yun Xi was so embarrassed that she did not know what to do. Yun Zhi was furious, and he couldn't even utter a word. He really regretted not wrapping Yue’s whole body up with bandages so that he could no longer move. Actually, he should have gagged his mouth! Now there was nothing Yun Zhi could do. He took several deep breaths. After he calmed down, he walked to them and gently pulled Yun Xi away, and then sat right at the Yue’s bedside. "Xier, let me check on Yue. You can rest assured." Facing Yun Xi, Yun Zhi’s eyes were gentle and calm. However, he looked furious when he turned to Yue, "You are hurt? I can give you a massage." "It is improper for a man to touch a woman." "Who do you think has changed your bandages these days?" "Don’t think I will marry you to repay the favor." Yue talked nonsense with a serious look. Yun Zhi and Yun Xi were almost choked. The girl decided to ignore Yue. Yun Zhi tried his best to calm down and then asked. "I also want to know how come you suddenly become a man." "You knew it... then Yinzhu also knew it?" Yue looked at Yun Xi. The girl nodded and then lowered her red face. Yue raised his hand wrapped with bandages, trying to touch his forehead. However, he failed to do so. Actually, such a gesture looked very cute. He sighed, "Well... then I feel so helpless. But why didn't Yinzhu help me put on the bandage? I can marry her to repay the favor!" Yun Zhi resisted his impulse of slapping the mummy in front of him and clenched his fists, "Is that how you treat your savior? Do you still remember I am your former master?" "Savior? I know you saved my life for Yinzhu. But anyway, thank you. Even so, Yinzhu is still mine. No... I am Yinzhu’s man." Yue took a look at the girl and then he corrected himself immediately. Yun Xi’s face had been burning with embarrassment, and now it was getting redder and redder. She really wanted to find a cave to hide at this moment. Yun Xi had the urge to seal Yue’s mouth. She deliberately sat in a place far away from him, not looking at Yue anymore. "Now will you tell me your story?" Yun Zhi really couldn't bear it, and he changed to the serious topic again. "My surname is Kong, formerly known as Kong Yue." Yue became serious. He was not frivolous now. If the bandages were removed, his face would look mature and handsome even though he was still sick. "Kong Yue, you are a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Kong. I remember only one old Lord escaped when the Kingdom of Kong was conquered." "He's my father." "Then how would you become my subordinate?" "For all these years, the surroundings of the old thief King Yun have been heavily guarded. You have the best chance of getting close to him. We found out that you were the prince of the Kingdom of Xuan, hence our men killed the family of a confidential guard King Xuan left to you. And then I disguised as his daughter." "I see." "Yue, Zhi, since the Kingdom of Kong and Xuan both want to kill King Yun, why don't you guys cooperate?" Yun Xi heard their conversation, and she couldn't help talking. If possible, she also wanted to contribute to this plan. "It's impossible." Kong Yue answered helplessly. His father wanted the whole world and would never want to share it with others. "Why?" Now the girl was still innocent. She almost didn't have the concept of the kingdom or the world. Yun Zhi answered the girl's question, "In addition to killing King Yun, the remnant forces of our kingdoms also want to get the Imperial Seal of the Kingdom of Yun to be the master of the world. No one is willing to share it with other people. Even if I agree, I am afraid the soldiers of the Kingdom of Xuan will not say yes." "However, in this way, no one can get revenge." Yun Xi still did not understand. "No one wants to compromise and no one wants to be submissive facing the power of owning the whole world. In our Kingdom of Kong, my father will be the first to say no. Now, my dear, just leave these affairs of kingdoms to us!" For the first time, Kong Yue and Yun Zhi had reached a consensus. Yue finished his words and Yun Zhi continued. "Xier, you can still be a lovely little princess. We will protect you." Kong Yue had been serious for a while, and now he was frivolous again, "Yinzhu, help me remove the bandages on my body. I feel so itchy." Hearing this, Yun Xi blushed but she still walked toward him. Yun Zhi stopped the girl. He talked to her with a gentle voice, "I can do it. Xier, you can go out for a moment." "Ok." After all, Kong Yue was a man. It was not a big deal when Yun Xi didn't know the truth, but now she had to pay attention to the boundary between men and women. Kong Yue kept talking, "I don't want you, stinky man. I want Yinzhu. Yinzhu, Yue can marry you to repay the favor." "Xier, help us guard the door outside. Don't let anyone in. I will handle this in here." Yun Zhi touched his forehead and controlled his temper. "Ok." The girl nodded, then she walked out of the room swiftly. She was afraid that if she stayed longer, that brazen Kong Yue would keep talking shameless words... She was a girl! He could be shameless, but she couldn't!
