Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 182 New World

Jiang Feng's enthusiastic response surprised and delighted Li Longye.

Ever since the two of them established a relationship, although Li Longye had no intention of remaining a virgin for Jiang Feng, he always felt a psychological burden and could not enjoy himself every time he had sex with his beautiful wife and concubine.

During his many months of patrolling the border in Youzhou, local officials of all ranks sent various women to him in order to please him, but he politely declined them all.

They thought he was a homosexual and sent him handsome eunuchs with slicked-back hair and powdered faces.

When he saw those men wearing flowers in their hair and posing in a coquettish manner, he had to endure his physical discomfort and chase them out.

Since he neither liked women nor men, officials of all ranks talked about him. When he left Youzhou, rumors had spread that he was not good at sex.

His past restraint and abstinence were like a flood that broke through a dam, and he was completely unable to control himself.

He remembered Jiang Feng once said that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can restrain their immediate desires and short-term temptations and obtain delayed gratification.

When humans got the first seed, they could control hunger by burying it underground, plowing in spring and working in summer, and harvesting ripe wheat ears in autumn.

They captured wild animals and birds, wiped their saliva and kept them in captivity, and then obtained working cattle, more carnivorous animals and eggs.

He has always protected the relationship between them like protecting a seed.

As luck would have it, the seed actually blossomed! At this moment, it was emitting a charming fragrance, spreading its tender petals, and making melodious sounds, like a dream.

His big hands were scorching hot, and wherever they touched there was heat and trembling; her face flushed, among her thousands of black hair, like a red lotus blooming in the dark night.

He looked up from her scent, his eyes burning but restrained.

He asked, "Really, are you ready?"

At times like this, he still remembered their three rules.

Jiang Feng was aroused by his skillful techniques and was also confused by his kiss. He just cooperated involuntarily and unconsciously.

When he asked, her mouth responded before her brain did, and she said in a plaintive voice, "I'm afraid I won't live to be eighteen."

Li Longye felt as if he had been poured with cold water, and his mind suddenly became clear.

She felt that she couldn't get through this, and that she had no chance of getting through it, so she was in a hurry...

Li Longye bit his back teeth and kissed her lips again as if punishing her.

Then he put on her torn clothes to cover up the ambiguous traces.

Under Jiang Feng's astonished gaze, he lay on his back beside Jiang Feng, his chest heaving and his breathing heavy.

Jiang Feng was confused. What did this guy mean by suddenly stepping on the brakes? !

She sat up, took a look at the "tent" erected in his lower body, and first denied the speculation that he was not okay in that aspect.

Li Longye felt embarrassed by her gaze, so he turned sideways to face her and covered his face with his robe inconspicuously.

Jiang Feng's long hair was cascading, her clothes were half-removed, and her shoulders were half-exposed, covered with his wanton kiss marks.

She asked, "Isn't it hard to endure?"

Li Longye stretched out his long arms, Jiang Feng felt dizzy and was pressed down on the bed by him again.

He did not do anything reckless. He just gently put her clothes on with his fingers and said in a low voice: "You know I'm working hard, but you still do this."

Jiang Feng calmed down, nestled in his arms without moving, and only said: "I want to take you to a new world."

Jiang Feng had a very absurd idea. It would be a wonderful thing if he could bring Li Longye back to the 21st century.

But Li Longye had the wrong idea. Her soft body, warm fragrance and gentle voice inspired him to think of a new world, which made him distracted again.

Seeing his Adam's apple rolling, Jiang Feng lightly hit him and said coquettishly, "What are you thinking about!"

Li Longye smiled without saying anything, turned over and hugged her tightly, saying: "Thinking about how to let you live to 18 years old."

Jiang Feng sat up again, and following Li Longye's gaze, she hurriedly pulled her dress tighter, covering her shoulders and chest, and then said, "I want to tell your majesty a 'story'."

Li Longye smiled and said, "I'll give you a life in exchange for a story. Father is at a great loss."

Jiang Feng said with a hint of sadness: "But before telling the story, I have to make it justifiable. I can blame Chu Yan for hiding the imperial edict from Empress Wu. But if Your Majesty asks me why I didn't explain the imperial edict clearly during the dispute over the crown prince, what should I say?"

Li Longye smiled instead, entwining his fingers around her hair, and casually said, "You were just pushed into the water by Cheng An, and then I rescued you. You were confused every day due to the fever. Even if you recovered later, you were hiding in your aunt's backyard every day. How could you know about the succession?"

Jiang Feng clapped his hands and said, "That's right. I almost lost my life at that time. You and the queen can both testify for me."

Li Longye curled one leg and stretched the other leg casually, his black hair tangled around his fingers, but he said seriously: "Just tell father that when the late emperor was in power, although you held the sacred object, you did not dare to present it rashly, fearing that it would cause trouble for father and elder brother. Later, Chu Yan discovered this secret and wanted to present the sacred object to the late emperor to win credit. Forced by the situation, you had to give me the jade seal and the imperial edict."

Jiang Feng thought about it, shook his head firmly, and said, "No. If that were the case, His Majesty would definitely blame you if you kept the will secret while hesitating between the Crown Prince and Prince Ning!"

Li Longye said: "Although he is the emperor, he is still my father. Can he kill me like he wants to kill you?"

Jiang Feng still shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has five sons. Although he is reluctant to kill any of them, it is also possible for parents to be partial to you. Besides, he will only suspect that you and the crown prince are in an offensive and defensive alliance and are plotting for the throne early. I am afraid that he will be more partial to Prince Ning."

She was lost in thought, and hesitantly said, "The key is still the prince."

Li Longye was puzzled and asked, "Third brother?"

Jiang Feng said: "Your Highness was made the crown prince for his great achievements, and everyone thought he was passively pushed into the East Palace. But if you admit it, then he also admits it, and that means he is plotting to take the crown prince position step by step."

Li Longye said dismissively: "So what?"

Jiang Feng sighed, "What do you think? You said it yourself. The five of you brothers plus Princess Taiping are fighting for the emperor's will. If His Majesty feels that the crown prince is plotting, I'm afraid he will be more partial and may even change the crown prince. If that's the case, how do you let the crown prince deal with it?"

Li Longye finally stopped, frowned, and sat up straight.

Jiang Feng added: "The prince has been aiming for the throne since he was in the palace, so he is naturally unwilling to give it up easily. But he cannot disobey Your Majesty. If he starts a war again, neither the imperial power nor the paternal power will allow it. Therefore, there is a way that is the simplest and the least laborious."

Li Longye said: "Break your arm to survive, be prudent and protect yourself."

Jiang Feng said, "Yes. Besides, he didn't know about the will in the first place. As long as he distances himself from the matter, the prince will have to bear the wrath of thunder."

Li Longye thought about it and said, "I never thought of involving my third brother. I have to protect his position as the crown prince."

Jiang Feng said, "We can't involve you. Your Majesty is so smart. If he knew that you took the blame for me, I'm afraid that even if he cut me into pieces, it wouldn't be enough to relieve his hatred."
