5. On the Proper Way of Hugging Big Thighs (2)
Xiao Yan saw that Xie He had frozen in place and was not complying with his orders for the first time. His eyes grew slightly cold. “Did you not hear what Benwang has said?”
Xie He blinked, despair and sorrow appearing in his eyes. He didn’t want to go but he could not go against Xiao Yan’s orders…. Xiao Yan was the Prince—his master. No matter who he wanted Xie He to keep company, he had to go with a smile.
Xie He slowly knelt, kowtowing towards Xiao Yan. He then slowly said, “Nu will do as Nu is told.”
After saying this, he came to General Dan’s side, a small smile on his face. “General.”
General Dan could not wait. He wrapped his arms around Xie He’s waist and used his rough hand to caress Xie He’s face. He had noticed that the beauty’s skin was phenomenally lovely just now but hadn’t thought that it would feel even better than he had imagined. His skin felt like the highest quality satin. It was smooth and exquisite. He didn’t want to let go.
General Dan didn’t plan on taking Xie He away. Xiao Yan definitely wanted to leave such a high-quality person at his side. It wasn’t bad to be able to sleep with the other once. Furthermore, His Highness was so generous. If he wanted to sleep with the beauty again, he could just come visit the wangfu, couldn’t he?
Wrapped in the General’s embrace, the smell of sweat wafted from the man’s body into Xie He’s nostrils. Xie He lowered his eyes, covering up the grief within them.
Everything reminded him of those unbearable memories…. he had thought that everything had ended. It had been like he had been in a beautiful dream. He hadn’t expected that the dream would end so quickly. Once more, he had returned to such straits.
He had deceived himself, thinking that His Highness pitied him a bit….. Actually, it had all been his wishful thinking. How could His Highness even like a person like him?
This was reality.
Xie He was in so much pain it was hard to breathe. However, as a prostitute, if he couldn’t even entertain his guest, what good was he?
Xie He reached out to pour General Dan a cup of wine and smiled, “General, please drink.”
General Dan was in an extremely good mood but he didn’t drink the wine right away. He grabbed Xie He’s hand and pressed the other into his lap before drinking. He had a soft beauty in his arms and now found it a bit difficult to remain sitting. He had suppressed his desires for so long at the frontier. How could he endure it now?
Xiao Yan watched for a moment before looking away as if nothing was happening.
Actually, when Xie He’s eyes flashed with despair, he had hesitated slightly. It was as if he had truly hurt the other…. But very soon, Xie He accepted his fate and turned to smile at the other man, coquettishly telling him to drink. At that moment, Xiao Yan’s reluctance disappeared.
Xie He was used to doing such things. He had only been acting coy just now to arouse Xiao Yan’s pity.
Xiao Yan could see that General Dan couldn’t wait to spend time with Xie He. Xiao Yan himself didn’t want to continue chatting either. Thus, he said, “Benwang has already ordered for a room to be prepared for the general. Why not rest here at the wangfu tonight?”
General Dan could hear what Xiao Yan was implying. He gave Xiao Yan a very grateful look and thought that Prince Su was indeed frank and magnanimous. It seemed that all the talk about his being a generous man was true. He would certainly not lose out if he supported Prince Su. He thus laughed loudly and said, “Zaixia will accept the invitation.”
Xie He stiffened for a moment before indifference filled his eyes.
General Dan watched as Xiao Yan left before throwing Xie He onto his shoulder. He carried Xie He out like that.
【444:Host dada, Xiao Yan gifted you to someone else. What are we going to do now? QAQ】
【Xie He:Baby, as Xiao Yan’s imperial guard, Xiao Qing must be around, right?】
&#k3010;444&#kUU1J;Mn, he’s still around. He saw everything just now&#k2026;._(:&#k437;&#k309B;&#k2220;)_&#k3011;
&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;Where is he? Smile.JPG&#k3011;
&#k3010;444&#kUU1J;On your right at two o’clock. QAQ&#k3011;
【Xie He:Very good. ???? 】
Xie He struggled a bit in discomfort while lying on General Dan’s shoulder. He looked up, the despair and hurt in his eyes not yet rescinded.
General Dan chortled and slapped Xie He’s butt. “Hehe, you still have the energy to move. Don’t worry. I promise you that you’ll soon have no energy left. I’ll f*ck you so hard you won’t be able to get out of bed!”
Xie He bit his lips, eyes red and refrained from speaking.
This was the fate for a lowly person such as him. He still wanted to be pure despite having entered a brothel. What a joke.
Didn’t he accept his fate a long time ago…? Why did God give him hope and allow him wishful thinking, only to ruthlessly take it all away?
………………………………
Qi Qing had been standing guard outside the whole time, but he had not appeared before Xie He from beginning to end. He watched as His Highness summoned for Xie He to come serve him and as Xie He knelt by His Highness’ side, worshipful and deferential. Qi Qing had thought that it wouldn’t be bad if things continued on like this.
But Qi Qing very quickly found out that he had counted his eggs too soon. His Highness had actually ordered Xie He to wait upon someone else!
Today, Xie He would entertain General Dan. Tomorrow, perhaps it would be General Li or Vice General Wang or even Sun daren…. Although he was now residing in the wangfu, he would not be able to escape his fate of being a lowly courtesan who must entertain guests. From now on, he would be nothing but a prostitute kept by the wangfu!
At this moment, anger over Xiao Yan’s actions emerged in Qi Qing’s chest for the first time. Did the other not see how much Xie He cared about him, how much he cared about what he had now? Even if Xiao Yan didn’t want Xie He, he could at least let Xie He be one of the lowest ranking labouring servants. It was still better than making him entertain guests!
Did Xiao Yan not see that what Xie He wanted was to not have to work as a prostitute anymore?!
Qi Qing was so angry his face turned purple from anger. He watched as General Dan carried Xie He out. Xie He’s brief struggle appeared before his eyes. When he saw the pain and sorrow flowing out from the other’s eyes when Xie He looked up, a dull ache thudded in his chest.
How much despair must he feel to show such an expression…?
Qi Qing stood in place for a moment but determination flashed through his eyes in the end. He got up and chased after General Dan! He could not stand by and watch as this happened!
Qi Qing rushed to the guest room and heard sounds of struggle within. Anxious, he kicked the door open!
He then saw Xie He with his shoulder half exposed. The other’s clothes had been torn off halfway. Xie He currently had his arms and neck pressed onto the ground, looking like a trussed-up chicken. General Dan’s eyes were red and there was a crimson scratch on his face. He shouted, “You should feel honoured that Laozi took a liking to you, and yet you actually dared to scratch Laozi?!”
The anger had rushed to his head. When the door was kicked open, he looked at Qi Qing furiously and said, “Isn’t this Commander Qi? You came at the perfect time! Your wangfu’s prostitute is disobedient and dared to resist me!”
Xie He was choked until he almost couldn’t breathe. He was originally planning on accepting his fate but for some reason, he just couldn’t…. Why did he resist…?
Resistance was futile. He had learned this three years ago. Resistance just meant he was asking for humiliation. It would only make it worse.
He was the son of a corrupt official. He was contemptible and filthy. He deserved to be f*cked by countless men. Those were the words everyone told him…. The disgrace had long since been branded into his flesh….
But why did he still hold onto hope he shouldn’t have?
There were tears in his eyes. When he looked at Qi Qing, who had suddenly appeared, and remembered how gently this person had treated him, his heart only ached all the more. Tears flowed down his cheeks….
Qi Qing looked at Xie He and could not suppress his tenderness for the other, his inability to bear seeing him like this, as well as his fury towards General Dan! He said in a cold voice, “He is not a prostitute of the wangfu!”
General Dan was startled. He had drank a little too much today and his reaction time was a bit sluggish. However, he realized that something wasn’t right. Qi Qing, who had suddenly burst in, didn’t seem to have come with friendly intentions! He was about to ask what was going on when he saw Qi Qing throw a punch at him!
Qi Qing knocked him unconscious. He then quickly took off his robe and draped it over Xie He’s body. He collected the other in his arms and comforted him in a soft voice. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let him touch you.”
Xie He stared at him, lost in a daze. This person…had come to save him?
How was that possible? How could there be someone willing to come save him? Save a lowly, dirty prostitute like him? Xie He’s lips trembled. He was afraid that this was another dream….
Qi Qing’s heart ached terribly. He mulled over it before deciding to take Xie He back to Tingfeng Court. He placed the other gently on the bed.
Xie He was still wrapped in Qi Qing’s clothes. Now that a long time had passed, he had finally ascertained that this wasn’t a dream. He had really been saved. Furthermore, the one who had saved him was the gentle man in front of him. Xie He’s eyes reddened. A long time later, he whispered, “Thank…you….”
Qi Qing’s heart felt sour. How could His Highness not treat this pitiful person with any respect or tenderness? Why did he have to give him to someone else?
Xie He was silent for a while, his little face wan. He was clearly so scared and terrified that he felt like he was going to die, but he still did his best to speak to Qi Qing in a shaky voice, “What you did today, His Highness will be angry…you should…take Nu back….”
He was already so base and lowly. It didn’t matter if he became even filthier or more contemptible. But if Qi Qing was hurt because of him, he wouldn’t be able to set his mind at ease even if he paid with his death.
Qi Qing stared at Xie He, eyes full of tenderness. There was also a sliver of love.
He was such a kindhearted person. Even if he was in so much pain and despair, he still thought of Qi Qing. He didn’t want to implicate anyone else. He would not forgo his conscience to save himself. He would not let himself fall to such lows…. How could Qi Qing not love him?
【Ding, Qi Qing’s Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 80.】
Qi Qing slowly said, “I won’t send you back.”
Xie He looked at him in disbelief, tears filling his eyes. “But His Highness….”
Qi Qing was about to speak when he heard the door open. Soon after, Xiao Yan appeared at the door. His stern face was coloured in anger.
When Xiao Yan had heard of this, he had rushed over here at once. He had then seen Xie He sitting on the bed wrapped in Qi Qing’s clothes. Meanwhile, Qi Qing was kneeling on one leg, comforting him. They looked like a pair of lovers that had met with misfortune and were now gazing at each other affectionately.
When he saw this, an indescribable fury emerged in his heart!
He didn’t know if he was angry at Xie He for seducing another man or enraged at Qi Qing for disobeying his orders. One was his subordinate and the other was his possession. And yet they dared to fool around behind his back! He took in the grateful, moved gaze that Xie He was giving Qi Qing. He thought, indeed, it didn’t matter who it was. As long as you could give him what he wanted, he would love you all the same…! It was all just pretend!
A murderous intent arose in Xiao Yan’s heart at once!
If he killed Xie He, this plaything would no longer be able to seduce his subordinate or make him angry. He had truly underestimated the other. He unexpectedly had the ability to disturb the peace in his wangfu!
Xiao Yan’s voice was ice-cold. He said to Qi Qing, “Benwang had ordered you not to meddle in his business.”
If it were the past, Qi Qing would immediately obey Xiao Yan. But right now, he didn’t want to follow the other’s orders unconditionally like before.
He liked Xie He. He wanted to protect him. He wanted Xie He to be his.
If Xiao Yan also wanted Xie He, Qi Qing would step back and give them his blessings. But…since Xiao Yan didn’t care and could send Xie He to someone else, that meant that he had no intentions of accepting him. Since it was like this, why did Qi Qing have to pretend he didn’t care and withdraw?
He had always done his best for Xiao Yan’s sake, risking life and limb. Since Xiao Yan wanted to give Xie He away, then why not bestow him to Qi Qing?
Qi Qing turned around and knelt on one leg before Xiao Yan. His gaze was determined and he spoke in a neither overbearing nor servile tone. “Your Highness, please bestow Yuan Jin to Shuxia.”
