C16 Separated

The emperor who sat on the throne frowned when he heard this. He glanced at Xiao Yun lightly and turned his gaze away. "Drag him down and kill him!" He left the main hall after giving the order casually.

Xiao Yun was kneeling on the ground. The last look of the Emperor made him feel a little disappointed. As expected, he still didn't believe him. It was all because of Liu Qing. With just one sentence, he suspected that this was a scene that he had directed and acted on. This farce ended hastily, but in terms of the final winner, it was still the Second Prince. After all, he had aroused the Emperor's suspicion towards Xiao Yun.

Something like suspicion... As long as there was something like that, it would develop crazily under a certain opportunity, and it would be out of control in the end.

"Get up, how long more do you want to kneel?" Jian Bai saw that everyone in the hall had left, and Xiao Yun was still kneeling on the ground in a daze. He couldn't help but appear and remind them.

"Tell me... why is everything I did wrong?" Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at Jian Bai. His pale and almost transparent face made Jian Bai's heart ache for a moment. He was born in an imperial family, and he had no choice but to do so.

"It's not a mistake. It's just that the Emperor's own thoughts are wrong." Jian Bai squatted down and pulled Xiao Yun up. Xiao Yun stumbled and fell onto Jian Bai's body.

Jian Bai was shocked. He quickly reacted and hugged Xiao Yun, who was about to fall to the ground. He scolded, "Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? No one will feel sorry for you!"

"Heh, there's no need!" Xiao Yun propped up his body and slowly walked out of the hall. Jian Bai looked at Xiao Yun's back with a complicated expression. He suddenly felt that why would such a strong person be born in such a place? It was simply cruel.

"Everyone is wrong. For your body, kneeling for such a long time is the wrong thing to do. For the Emperor, every action of yours that involves the throne is wrong!" Jian Bai caught up with Xiao Yun and spoke in a serious tone. Then, he didn't allow Xiao Yun to resist and picked him up.

"What are you doing? Let me down!" Xiao Yun was shocked and struggled with all his might.

"Be quiet. Do you still want your legs when you walk back from here? Do you want to be a disabled emperor in the future?" Jian Bai rushed towards Xiao Yun's bedroom. He didn't try to hide his words, because he didn't think anyone else could hear what he said when he was traveling at full speed, except Xiao Yun who was in his arms.

"Are you really that confident?" Xiao Yun gave up when he saw that struggling was useless. After Jian Bai heard what Xiao Yun said, he looked at him and said with a smile, "The throne will be yours, but it must also be yours!" After saying that, he increased his speed.

Xiao Yun looked at the man in front of him and suddenly felt that he could not understand him anymore. He clearly looked like a very simple person, but the more he interacted with him, the more unfathomable he felt he was.

Every time you thought that you understood him enough, he would mercilessly beat you back to your original form. You would find that you had never truly understood him, nor had you truly seen through him.

Jian Bai only cared about his journey. He didn't see the complicated look in the eyes of the person in his arms when they looked at him.

Soon, they arrived at the bedchamber. Jian Bai placed Xiao Yun on the bed while he stood aside and asked, "Is there anything else, Prince Lee?"

"En? What, you need something?" Xiao Yun tidied his slightly messy clothes and asked without raising his head.

"No, since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Jian Bai wanted to leave after saying that. He had a lot of things to do, so it would be a waste of time to waste his time.

"Wait!" Xiao Yun stopped Jian Bai from leaving. Jian Bai turned around in confusion, but he only heard Xiao Yun say softly, "Thank you!"

Xiao Yun did not look at Jian Bai's face. He did not even raise his head. Jian Bai had a strange thought. Was Xiao Yun shy? Jian Bai couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. Xiao Yun naturally heard his laughter. Jian Bai clearly saw Xiao Yun's ears turn red.

Prince Lee, who always had a cold face and a cold heart, had actually become shy. Jian Bai realized this fact and laughed even more happily. For the sake of Prince Lee's thin-skinned face, Jian Bai wisely chose to leave.

Xiao Yun was furious when he saw Jian Bai laughing and leaving his chambers. He had lost all his face today. Xiao Yun sighed and laid down on the bed. Today's incident was a warning to him. He shouldn't think too highly of himself.

"Hua Shang!" Jian Bai looked around for Hua Shang as soon as he entered the courtyard, but he could not find anyone. When Jian Bai couldn't find him, he walked into the main hall and asked the shopkeeper about it. In the end, Hua Shang had left long ago and hadn't returned yet.

Jian Bai had been tired for the whole day, so he might as well go back to his room and wait. However, the waiting time was too long. When Hua Shang came back, he saw Jian Bai sleeping on the table.

Just like before, he didn't have the slightest bit of vigilance in front of his brother. It was only because of this that he ended up like this. Hua Shang looked at Jian Bai's sleeping face. He was even more certain that he had to become stronger and become Jian Bai's strongest and most powerful backing!

It was already night time when Jian Bai woke up. When he opened his eyes, he felt that his stomach was empty. Just as he was about to get off the bed and look for something to eat, he saw Hua Shang carrying food into the room.

"Hua Shang, I will feel embarrassed if you take care of me like this." Jian Bai smiled politely, but his actions were not polite at all. He picked up the food and started to eat, as if he had not had a good meal for a few years.

Hua Shang smiled and poured a glass of water for Jian Bai. He placed it next to him and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here today."

"You are the best." Jian Bai swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and replied. Hua Shang shook his head helplessly and sent the water to Jian Bai's mouth to let him drink a mouthful to relieve himself. Jian Bai finished drinking and sighed deeply. These days were really comfortable.

"It's not like we're in the military camp now. Why did you eat so fast?" Hua Shang looked at Jian Bai's indescribable eating habits and could not help but want to ridicule him. After years of training, he had developed a habit of eating. The elegance of eating was not something ordinary people could learn.

Jian Bai heard this and paused for a moment. He smiled bitterly and said, "After so many years, I have developed a habit. I can't change it." Although he said that he could not change it, his mouth was obviously full of movements. Jian Bai was like this, and his heart was different.

"Take it slow. In the new society, you need to learn a new way of living." Hua Shang could not help feeling a little sad when he saw Jian Bai's actions. It was fate that the two of them met in this alternate world. He did not force all his brothers to gather together, but this habit could not be changed in a short period of time.

Back then, everyone was like a family. When they were eating, they were also having a lot of fun. If you snatch from me, I will snatch from you. If you eat slower, you will definitely be robbed of everything. Now, he could still vaguely remember the joy at that time, but the separation seemed to have happened in an instant. It was so fast that he was caught off guard.

"I'm finally full." Jian Bai was lying on the chair, satisfied. He drank the tea without taking a sip. His eyes were slightly narrowed. The enjoyment made Hua Shang's mood improve involuntarily.

What happened in the past was in the past. Now was the most important thing.

Hua Shang ordered the servants to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks. Soon, a servant brought over a few plates of desserts. Jian Bai looked at the myriad of desserts in front of him and felt that his life was like heaven.

The desserts were exquisitely made. Jian Bai could eat one in one bite. It was sweet but not greasy. It was crispy and refreshing. The desserts were also delicious.

"You, a chef, would definitely be a five-star master in modern times." Jian Bai started to talk about big things after he had eaten his fill. Now he looked like he only lacked a toothpick. Unfortunately, he did not have one here.

"This cook has been taught since he was young. He must be good at cooking." Hua Shang was not exaggerating. The education that this cook received was the most essential part of the family's traditional education. Although it was only a branch of the chef, it could not be underestimated.
