Ning Shu rubbed her eyes and first went downstairs to help her father with something. When she went upstairs, she saw the young man standing there.The other person also looked at him, their eyes fix...After Yanran left, Ning Shu stared blankly for a long time.

I don't know when night fell.

He thought to himself that Helin Yu probably wouldn't be coming tonight.

I couldn't help but close my eyes.

Níng Shū fell asleep for a while and noticed someone pushing open the door. Thinking it was a servant, she couldn't help but say, "Go out, I don't need anyone to wait on me here for the time being."

but sensed the man had walked up to his bed.

Ning Shu couldn't help but open her eyes and saw that resolute and handsome face.

His tall stature cast a sense of oppression.

Those deep-set eyes were fixed on him, dark and brooding.

Ning Shu's heart was unexpectedly calm. She asked, "Why is Chu the head of the household here"

Hē Lián Yǔ's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand that was drooping by his side clenched tightly.

In a low, resonant voice, yet with eyes that held an impenetrable darkness, he said, "Naturally, I've come to care for Your Majesty."

Ning Shu's face paled slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "I want to see the young prince."

Helian Yu said faintly, "He's doing well. Your Majesty needn't worry that I'm mistreating him." He sarcastically said, "Your Majesty is truly caring towards him. Even towards your own son, you might not be able to do this."

Ning Shu remained silent.

He found that he and Helian Yu were now speaking different languages. Unable to bear it, he closed his eyes and lay down on the side.

After a while, he spoke, “Since that’s the case, I won’t keep Chu Family Head any longer.”

The man, listening to him call him "Chu Family Head" over and over again, had bloodshot eyes. He stared intently at the boy's back, biting down hard until blood came out, but his voice remained steady: "Is the Emperor bargaining with me"

Ning Shu didn't want to pay any more attention.

It was just one hand, but it had lifted his chin.

forced him to face his past.

The man twitched his lips and sneered, "Since the Emperor wants to see the little prince, he shouldn't put on such a face that makes people lose their interest."

Ning Shu's face was pale. Thinking of what Yan Ran had said today, her lips trembled slightly.

He still didn't say anything, but the hand beside him twitched slightly.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Don't think I will just tolerate your insolence."

Helian Yu's eyes darkened even further.

"It's just that I'm saying, Your Majesty, the little prince will fall asleep in two or three hours. It's not too late to change your mind now, otherwise, if I leave, you might have to wait an entire day to see him."

Ning Shu gritted her teeth, but ultimately let go of the tightly clenched hand.

He hung his head, revealing a slender white patch.

The man's eyes were filled with suppressed desire and obsession, his gaze dark as he stared intently before pressing the young boy down. He bit into Bai Xi's neck, leaving a forceful mark on it.

Ning Shu's eyelids trembled slightly, but she didn't struggle. She just let him do as he pleased.

But he didn't know which nerve he had hit, and his movements became increasingly brutal.

Ning Shu slightly opened his eyes, and all he saw were a pair of dark eyes staring at him.

Then, she pinched his cheek and whispered, “Who am I”

The young man's eyes, filled with emotion, stared intently at his face before he spoke, "Lord Chu."

Hē Lían Yǔ's breath hitched.

It was exactly what he wanted, yet when he actually heard it, there wasn't a shred of joy in his heart.

His eyes were dark as he stared at the youth. Aside from lust, there was no other emotion in them. He let out a sneer and said, “Didn’t the Emperor used to adore my face the most Has he grown tired of it”

Ning Shu bit her lip, the corners of her eyes becoming increasingly red.

His hand dug into the other's solid back, unwilling to look at that face, enduring it all in silence.

Helin Yu's eyes flashed with a ferocious expression, and he exerted himself even more.

The boy choked out a sob, his eyes welling up with tears.

Helian Yu pinched his face and then gently kissed away the tears.

Staring at this incredibly handsome face.

He had countless dreams over the past two years, all with a person who constantly haunted him. Yet, Helian Yu could never see his face from beginning to end. It wasn't until the young master stepped into the room that he finally revealed his face.

Helian Yu's aura had completely changed.

He stared at the face with almost a greedy intensity, his emotions spiraling out of control, an overwhelming urge to possess and subdue the other person.

"May I ask Your Majesty once more, who am I"

The man's voice was husky, his eyes holding a hint of dark redness.

Ning Shu opened her eyes and glanced at him, not as she had when they first met. She simply replied, "Lord Chu."

He knew that even if he forced Helian Yu to return, this person would still be unwilling to believe his words.

There were no signs of recovery of memory, and he did not show any fatherly affection for the young prince.

Ning Shu closed his eyes. This was not the He Lian Yu he wanted.

He was cruel, but not excessively so.

He couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking to himself that if he could just endure a few more hours, he would be able to see the little prince.

Helen Yu withdrew, putting on her clothes. Her expression seemed somewhat cold.

Ning Shu, with the marks of her recent travails upon her person, rose and said, "May I see the young prince now"

Helen's eyes flashed with anger, she didn't answer him, and turned to leave the room.

.....

When the chieftain is in a bad mood, no one in the village dares to provoke him.

Helen returned to the room and vented her anger.

He isn't even a stand-in anymore.

That regent, truly so important.

He's not even worthy of being a stand-in, is he

Helian Yu thought of the little baby, his hand clutching the knife, bleeding.

A woman's delicate voice came from outside: "I wish to see the master."

"It's so late already, Miss Yanran. The master isn't receiving guests at this hour. You should go back."

Helian Yu closed his eyes, then opened them again. The darkness inside returned, and he said, "Come in."n rolled in hot water, and he couldn't help but slightly avoid it. 。but was nonetheless firmly grasped by the other party's arm. 。Han Xi grabbed his arm with one hand and said, "Ning Ge, where's your...
