Chapter 16#

I don’t think I’ve called him Scumbag Emperor Chu in my heart for five or six years.

Tsk.

But that night, Scumbag Emperor Chu couldn’t salvage his male ego on me.

Because, on the way to the palace, under the guard of a dozen imperial guards, I was kidnapped.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone dared to kidnap the person the emperor wanted to hook up with right under the emperor’s nose.

How bold.

Then, this bold person, after hiding in a small building with his men, took off his mask.

I saw that it was actually Dugu Yan, the person who seemed to have damaged Scumbag Emperor Chu’s dignity last night.

Generally speaking, if a kidnapper lets you see his face, it means he wants to tear up the ticket.

Although Dugu Yan’s face is very handsome, it’s not enough to be worth my life.

I asked a little nervously, “You… what do you want to do?”

The kidnapper, who was very handsome and might tear up the ticket, looked at me for a long time, then suddenly smiled, “Brother, don’t you recognize me? Even Chu Ruiyuan recognized who I was.”

There are many people in this world who call me Junan, Zihou, Dear Brother, Second Young Master… etc., but there is only one who calls me Brother.

I tried hard to recognize Dugu Yan’s face, and I actually found some old traces: “Mu Ruilin?! How… how did you become Dugu Yan?”

This young man, who lived in my Tea Sutra Building for more than half a year and whose news was cut off after his uncle took him back to Southern Xinjiang, smiled even more brightly: “I knew you still remembered me, Brother.”

He threw himself into my arms like he did when he was a child, and slowly began to tell me about his experiences over the past six years.

It turned out that his family was not a Mu family in Southern Xinjiang, but the proper Dugu imperial family next door. However, when the spies next door heard the news that Chu Ruiyuan was looking for someone, they reported back, and the Dugu family was afraid of being coerced by my dynasty, so they asked the Mu family to mediate. As for his father’s affairs, except that he was not the Third Young Master of the Mu family, but the Third Prince of the Dugu imperial family, everything else was true.

He had a hard time when he was young and had no capital to fight for the throne. After being taken back then, he was always treated with courtesy, and he has been doing well in the past few years.

The new emperor who is now in power is a good uncle of his. He took the initiative to ask to be an envoy to the capital to see me, and the new emperor allowed it. He also gave him some hair-dyeing drugs so that he wouldn’t be pointed at for his white hair when he entered the capital.

I was relieved to hear him say this. He was so reluctant back then, as if I had abandoned him. If he hadn’t been doing well, then I would really be guilty.

After we were over the joy of old friends reuniting, I suddenly remembered that he was also a kidnapper, so I complained, “If you wanted to see me, you could have come to the Prime Minister’s residence at any time these past few days. Why did you have to be a masked bandit? You robbed the imperial guards of my dynasty’s emperor, this will be difficult to deal with.”

Dugu Yan hugged me even tighter in his arms and said with a sneer, “If you really went into the palace, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to see you before I left the capital.”

Dugu Yan suddenly turned into Mu Ruilin, and my mind was actually a little confused.

When he said that, I became even more confused, and could only instinctively say, “How could that be? Let me go first, and I’ll go find you tomorrow morning after I leave the palace, so as not to be troubled by the soldiers.”

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

As soon as I finished speaking, one of Dugu Yan’s men came into the house and said, “Your Highness, Emperor Chenghua has surrounded this place with troops and is now asking you to take Young Master Liu out to see him. What are you going to do?”

I was just about to advise him to see if there were any back doors or secret passages to escape, leaving me and Chu Ruiyuan to talk, when Dugu Yan came out of my arms, sat up straight, and snorted coldly, “Go out, so what? Does he think I’m afraid of him?!”

After he said this, he suddenly bit his tongue hard, breaking it and causing it to bleed.

I was about to ask him what he was doing when he held my head down and kissed me.

Although Dugu Yan is devastatingly handsome, firstly, the timing is wrong, and secondly, I treat him as a younger brother, which is considered psychological incest, so I couldn’t help but struggle.

But he has obviously not been wasting these years, easily suppressing my resistance, and kissing me even harder.

I only felt that my mouth was stained with blood, and there was a bit of an unspeakable strange feeling. I endured it for a long time before he stopped.

“What are you doing?!” I pushed him away and asked with lingering fear.

He smiled slightly and said happily, “I’m giving you a love Gu!”

Excuse me?!

Although there’s already the matter of me traveling through time, it wouldn’t be too unscientific to have a love Gu or something.

But the question is, why is Dugu Yan giving me a love Gu?!

Isn’t this thing used on lovers?

Isn’t giving it to a dry brother a waste?!

“I don’t think I heard clearly, can you say it again?” I poked my ears and said.

“Brother, I like you, I want to be with you for the rest of my life.” The person I asked said clearly, “Every man of our Dugu imperial family has a love Gu to share with his wife, so I gave it to you.”

I heard clearly, but I think I’m hallucinating.

Then the object of my hallucination continued to introduce his love Gu: “From now on, you and I can only love each other. If you fall in love with someone else, you will feel heartache as long as you see that person. The deeper the love, the more it hurts. If it’s true love, I’m afraid you will die of pain.”

Dugu Yan paused, looked at my somewhat dumbfounded expression, and continued, “Moreover, the two people who have been planted with this love Gu will live and die together from now on. If one of them dies, the other one will not be able to live either.”

I feel like my expression is no longer dumbfounded.

It’s more like I’m cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations.

Before I could get angry, someone got angry before me.

It was Chu Ruiyuan, who had just led his troops to break through the obstruction and arrived at the door.

Chu Ruiyuan and Dugu Yan wrestled for a while, and the CEO of this dynasty, who had been trained in both martial arts and literature since childhood, won the victory. He ordered Dugu Yan to be taken to the heavenly prison, and then looked at me.

When I saw Chu Ruiyuan, I actually felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. It seems that I still have some feelings for this person, or this person’s face, or this person’s big tool and good skills.

But compared to my true love persona that hasn’t collapsed for ten years, this discomfort is far from enough.

So I decisively bent over, covered my chest, bit my lip, and pretended to be in so much pain that I couldn’t speak.

“Mingzhi…” Chu Ruiyuan called me anxiously, but seeing that I was panting non-stop and didn’t answer, he hammered the wall next to him hard and said, “Wait for me to find a way to remove the Gu!”, then turned and left.
