This was the first time they had separated since their reunion, and Morong Gan experienced what it meant to spend a year's time together. It turned out that it was true that they had not seen each other for one day, and what the crown prince had said about parting ways was even more true than newlyweds.
He was surprised that he liked her so much. It was as if he didn't love her enough no matter what. A person who used to be calm and self-possessed would become so passionate and greedy in front of her. It was as if he was going to make up for all the deficiencies of the past twenty years.
Prince Jin had once laughed at him, saying that he was too old, and had not tasted the taste of women, and was simply living for nothing. He did not think so, and had never had any interest in women, except for Huangfu Zhuer, he had never looked at any girl, and felt that women were worth nothing to him. Only now did he know that he had met the right person, and if he met her, it was like a frying pan that had been splashed with water, exploding to the point of not giving up his life.
He let out a long breath and looked down at her, and she was snuggled in his arms like a tame bunny, breathing hard, already asleep, and he kissed her forehead, which was wet with sweat, and felt in the dark for a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her back. It was hot, and it was warm to sleep together, but he didn't want to part with her.
When sshe left, he stood by the side of the bed for a long time, waiting. Bai Qianfan slept soundly, and didn't even have a chance to turn around, let alone any signs of him waking up. Feeling that it was rather funny, he still turned around and left.
The morning sun had just risen and the morning breeze was blowing. Prince Chu was in a good mood after eating so much last night, he stretched while facing the sun, and suddenly heard someone speaking from behind the tree.
"I really didn't see that the wangfei and General Du are actually old acquaintances. It's no wonder that we were able to visit so late at night. "
"That's because the Prince is not here. If the Prince was in the palace, would the General Du dare to come?"
"I say, my wife really shouldn't. The king treats her so well, even if they are old acquaintances, they should avoid suspicion. But she, on the other hand, not only didn't avoid suspicion, she even sent everyone else away and spoke to General Du alone."
"Hush, don't say anymore. Be careful to let people hear it. If it gets to the ears of the prince, it would be a bad thing."
"The prince hasn't woken up at this hour. Ever since we found the consort, our prince has a wife that has everything to do and hasn't been diligent in the past."
"Your highness has suffered for half of his life, it's time for you to enjoy your blessings. As long as your highness is happy, it's fine."
One moment Morong Gan's mood was like the spring breeze, and the next moment, it was winter.
Du Changfeng had come to visit him in the middle of the night.
He calmed his mind and quickly headed inside the yamen. After turning around the Lunar Gate, he saw Jia Tong standing under the tree and talking to the crown prince's subordinate, Li Xiaolu. Seeing him come over, the two of them bowed and greeted him.
He snorted from his nose, treating it as a response, he called Jia Tong: "Come over for a while."
"Yes, Your Highness." Jia Tong winked at Li Xiaolu and whispered, "Call Du Changfeng for a drink some other day." After saying that, he slipped away and followed Prince Chu into the room.
"Close the door."
Jia Tong, "... Ah … "Oh."
He closed the door obediently, and just as he turned around, Prince Chu was already in front of him, "Du Changfeng came over?"
Jia Tong's face changed, he leaned on the door and said, "... Ah … "Right."
"What are you doing here?"
Jia Tong did not dare to hide anything, and explained in detail the matter of how he sent Yue Xiang and her here.
"I came back yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"
Jia Tong, "..." You just dismounted in the backyard and went inside with the intent to return. Does he have a chance to speak?
"Did they speak alone?"
"This subordinate, no, I'm not sure," Jia Tong said, "This subordinate, that brat, did not go forward."
"You still dare to say that you're not here? What's the use of me leaving you behind?" Prince Chu kicked his heart.
Jia Tong slid to the ground while holding onto his chest. He thought with a bitter face, why did the disease that caused the Prince to kick people's hearts last for more than half a year?
Prince Chu looked down at him with a cold face, "What did they say?"
Jia Tong said with a sullen face, "..." If he wasn't here, how would he know?
Go and check, "Prince Chu angrily squeezed out from between his teeth." Not a single word can be wrong, not a single word can be lacking.
Other than saying yes, what else could Jia Tong say? If he couldn't do it, the Prince Chu could probably take his little life now.
"Get out!"
Jia Tong immediately scram, looking for his Lv He to ask for more information, without Ning Jiu here, he felt that it was difficult to figure out the emperor's thoughts, just like how there was always a fire burning behind his butt, which could set one on fire at any time.
Morong Gan sat down by the window and looked far away, so far that he could not see where the focal point was. The lush and verdant scenery turned into a field of darkness, and he thought that they were all having the same love and suffering, and had even painstakingly set up two messengers who would specially run errands, in order to increase the romantic atmosphere. He never thought that even he would have to put in so much effort to become a joke! While he was thinking about his torturous time, she was dating Du Changfeng!
After promising him, he would never see Du Changfeng alone again. Once he left, he would throw away his promise without even leaving a servant girl in front of him.
He grabbed the cup of tea and was about to throw it when his white robe flashed and someone walked in through the door. He lifted his hand and slowly brought the cup down, then took a sip of the cold tea.
The Crown Prince was always gentle and noble, with a smile on his face as he said, "When you came back yesterday, I wanted to drink with you, but after thinking about it, when you just returned home, you naturally wanted to see my wife. How about you make up for it today?"
"Second Brother is very kind. It would be better for younger brother to obey." Morong Gan smiled lightly, "We brothers will have a drink at noon."
The crown prince asked, "Is the Jinling successful?"
"It's not bad, it's just that it's too hot and it's easy to catch heat under the sun. I let them move the hour away from the hottest time. If this goes on, I'm afraid we'll have to delay the schedule a little."
"That's alright, I'm not in a hurry anyway. It's right to take it easy."
Morong Gan asked, "I've been gone for the past few days, are there any problems here?"
"It's nothing. The sky is dry and the earth is dry. The only thing I'm not afraid of is the fire. I have ordered you to arrange three times a day to call out to the higher ups, to beat them up at night and to call out for candles during the day. I hope the citizens will be on high alert."
"This method is pretty good, second brother." Morong Gan nodded his head, "Second brother will be taking charge here, the people of Su City will be blessed."
The Crown Prince laughed, as if he had suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, the Crown Princess must have told you, about the matter regarding his servant, Yue Xiang. I heard that it was a big ruckus, even the General Du was alarmed, so I sent her here personally."
Morong Gan acknowledged, "I know about this matter."
The Crown Prince saw his indifferent expression and didn't want to talk anymore. He just smiled and changed the topic.
