“Husband, I want to relieve myself.” (Part Three)

Meng Huan woke up in the early morning, but his body still felt unbalanced. After being used by Lin Bozhou last night, his body obviously became uncomfortable with a hint of pain.
Meng Huan nudged Lin Bozhou, who was sleeping beside him. “Husband.”
“Mmm?” Lin Bozhou hummed in response.
Meng Huan whispered, “I want to relieve myself.”
Hearing this request, Lin Bozhou lazily sat up straight. Using his height, he picked up and carried Meng Huan with one hand around his waist and one under his butt. He walked behind the folding screen and unfastened Meng Huan’s pants.
Meng Huan was barely standing. Because of his ankle injuries, he was leaning his head against Lin Bozhou’s shoulder. For a while, he tried to pee, but found he was unable to urinate, probably because of what Lin Bozhou had done last night.
After a while, Meng Huan flushed and glared angrily at the culprit.
“Lin Bozhou…”
The moment he got angry, he would call Lin Bozhou by his name.
Lin Bozhou’s tone sounded like he had reflected on his actions, “Is this bad, then?”
As expected from the male protagonist with his AV tone of voice.
Since Meng Huan really could not relieve himself, he silently fastened his pants again and turned his head. Lin Bozhou passed him a handkerchief to wipe his hands with.
After holding his tongue for a long time, Meng Huan blushed brightly and said, “Don’t ever do that again.”
He was afraid Lin Bozhou would not understand and clarified, “Do not play with me like that.”
At least, do not bang him like a haitang shou.
He muttered that, torn between bashfulness and seriousness.
Looking super well-behaved.
Lin Bozhou lowered his eyes and answered, “Maybe if we try it a few more times, Huan Huan will like it?”
“…” So it was not something that normal people did in bed.

Meng Huan licked his lower lip and turned his head to glare at him. Frowning, he looked speechless and angry.

Meng Huan was fuming, refusing to behave and drink his medicine, so he was pinched by the chin and kissed breathless, with his lower body pressed against the man’s leg.
On the other side of the folding screen, Meng Huan drank his medicine until he was flushed and panting. Not far away, Chen An bowed and spoke up, “Your Royal Highness, the Cui family’s people are here again. They say they want an audience with Your Royal Highness. Presumably they want to disclose something to Your Royal Highness. Does Your Royal Highness want to see them or not?”
“No.” Lin Bozhou said, with blue bulging veins on his wrist, pressing against Meng Huan’s leg with one hand.
It was a hot summer, and both of them were dressed in silk, a material that was already smooth. The more Meng Huan moved in the man’s lap, the more the two plump mounds under his thin clothes pressed against Lin Bozhou.
Meng Huan was anxious, but Lin Bozhou’s eyes were downcast, seemingly pleased with his small fiddling. As soon as Chen An turned and left the room, Lin Bozhou drew his inner robe closer before covering Meng Huan’s forehead with his cool palm.
“It seems that Huan Huan’s fever broke?”
After saying this, Meng Huan’s behind burned.
His body felt like it had been sapped of strength as he drew his arms into his body, frowning and whimpering softly.
Behind the folding screen sat two figures, one sitting high and one sitting low, filling this early morning with their restless voices.
After a long time, Meng Huan sat in a chair, holding a spoon with a trembling hand. There was a faint blush on his pale cheeks. He lowered his head, and took a spoonful of chicken soup, blown until cool, into his mouth.
Now that the liquid went into his mouth, maybe because he had been kissed too much, it burned a little.
“…” He raised his head to look at Lin Bozhou.
Lin Bozhou picked up a morsel and put it in Meng Huan’s bowl. Dressed neatly in his crimson imperial outfit, he was back to his pure and self-disciplined appearance, without a trace of the dishevelment and ferocity from before.
A gentleman in appearance but a beast in conduct.
Meng Huan only just remembered to ask, “Why are you not attending court?”
“In the days when Huan Huan was kidnapped, this husband requested and was granted a few days’ leave from His Majesty.” Lin Bozhou picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks. “Originally, there would be a few more days of rest, but there was an urgent report from Liaodong in regards to the Jurchen tribe’s revolt. After dining with Huan Huan, this husband will need to return to the cabinet.”
“Oh.” Meng Huan uttered, feeling quite complicated inside. He felt that his life was always inappropriate for children when he was with Lin Bozhou, but once the man had to leave the compound, he felt unhappy.
As if remembering something, Lin Bozhou looked up. “By the way, His Majesty heard that Huan Huan had been kidnapped and expressed his concern, and requested for Huan Huan’s presence in the palace for a chat once you are better.”
Hearing this, Meng Huan was shocked. “Why?”
“Huan Huan is His Majesty’s royal sister-in-law.” Lin Bozhou smiled. “Why is it so wrong to show some concern?”
He had a point.
However, Meng Huan subconsciously did not like anyone outside the compound.
That included the young Emperor.
It seemed this was even more true for people that caused harm to Lin Bozhou.
Meng Huan was someone who acted emotionally.
However, on second thought, it would be nice to go to the palace, to see more of the world. He tapped the inside of the bowl with his chopsticks, saying, “Alright.”
Lin Bozhou scooped another bowl of soup for him and said, “Eat more and regain your health.”
The thought of Lin Bozhou leaving later made Meng Huan less happy while eating his meal. Lin Bozhou saw this and pinched his jaw, as if making a promise with a child, “This husband will return earlier this afternoon.”
Only then did Meng Huan nod and continue eating.
At the end of the meal, Lin Bozhou went to the bedchamber and changed into his court outfit, before riding to the palace in his carriage.
In the cabinet, without Senior Cui, Minister Chen temporarily took charge of the affairs in his place. Seeing Lin Bozhou’s carriage, he quickly rushed over and welcomed, “Greeting to Your Royal Highness.”
For the past few days, Lin Bozhou had been absent from court. Although the kidnapping of the Royal Consort had not been announced, most people were already well-aware of the situation, especially the matter of Lin Bozhou utilizing the imperial troops and brocade-clad guards to search the whole city and eventually landing on someone from Senior Cui’s compound.
Those that were in the dark would have thought the two had a falling out.
Consequently, as a member of Qingliu Faction, Chen Que’s manner was much more friendly with Lin Bozhou. “Your Royal Highness, this subject heard about the Royal Consort suffering in the hands of villains in past days, is the Royal Consort feeling better now?”
“Yes, much better.” Lin Bozhou said in a warm tone, but his attention was clearly not focused on this. “What about the letter from Liaodong?”
Chen Que quickly passed up the urgent letter.
The current cabinet was without Senior Cui.
Everyone knew about Echul’s kidnapping of the Royal Consort, and since Echul was housed in the Cui compound, Minister Cui had to bear the blame. On his own initiative, he wrote a letter to the court explaining himself, before shutting himself in his compound and declining any visitors, just like Lin Bozhou during his impeachment, waiting quietly at home for His Majesty’s investigation and decree.
Lin Bozhou read the urgent letter over.
“What actions did Mao Chengchang take when Jianzhou’s grand commandant was killed and the city was plundered by the Jurchen?”
Chen Que quickly picked up another letter. “This is the six-hundred-li-per-day urgency that we just received. Mao Chengchang states that troops have been dispatched to suppress it.”
Lin Bozhou read the letter again. “He did not forget to press for military provisions, too. How dare Mao Chengchang? He tolerated and even abetted evil in his domain. He was the reason why outlanders got so powerful, and he actually dared to send a letter asking for funds?”
As the Prince Regent showed anger, the other ministers fumed with him as they nodded one after another, feeling extremely pleased.
Mao Chengchang had always been closely associated with Senior Cui, and both of them angered Lin Bozhou, so the chances of their downfall were very high. This was the source of their happy mood.
Chen Que sighed, “Then we can only wait for good news from Commander Mao. We can’t have the entirety of Liaodong be left in ruin by Jurchen, right?”
But the possibility of that was not null.
In the six years since Lin Bozhou’s reign, there had been a chieftain’s revolt in the south, but this was incomparable to the invasion and disturbance of the outlander tribes in the north.
If the outlanders’ forces were some idle horsemen and small tribes, when their forces entered Han territory they would plunder frantically like a whirlwind before immediately retreating back to their own territories because they had no supply lines and only sought money and daily necessities.
However, if a tribe was successfully established, with sufficient horses, food, armaments, and power in combat effectiveness. They could invade further, like a gale, penetrating the hinterland of Han territory, forcing entrance through the Shanhai Pass in Hebei, dominating the Central Plains, and even toppling the Zong Dynasty imperial court to establish a foreign regime in the Central Plains.
Lin Bozhou’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
War would always be the last resort.
War would only make a country poorer and weaker, militaristic so to speak.
However, since border conflict was already upon them, they need to throw out one punch now to avoid a hundred punches in the future.
He frowned for a moment and said, “Send Mao Chengchang an imperial decree stating that all of his letters were read and order him to immediately ready his army, and then send several overseeing court eunuchs to Liaodong as well. Tell him that if he fails to suppress the revolt in Jianzhou, then taking into account the old and new, the consequence will be the demand for his head.”
These eunuchs were the ears and eyes of Lin Bozhou, and they would inform him of the true military situation to avoid any further concealment from Mao Chengchang.
After Chen Que gave an acknowledging response, he began to draft the order.
Lin Bozhou sat in his chair, feeling a pain rising in his head. The Zong Dynasty was already very poor. The situation had improved slightly over the recent years, but who would have expected disturbances in the border areas again.
War required weapons, weapons required money, money required taxation, and taxation required the oppression of commoners.
A single war would set back the economy of the Zong Dynasty by decades. Their bleached bones lie unburied in the waste; For vast distances not even a cock-crow sounds. Where a hundred once lived, now just one remains; Thinking of it, the gut wrenches. The words of the forefathers were not joking.
In his seat, he fought against the headache for a moment and saw that there was still a memorial remaining.
—It was Senior Cui’s letter, explaining himself regarding Echul.
The author has something to say:
Lin Bozhou when he is alone with Huan Huan: Haitang style.
Lin Bozhou when he handles political affairs: Qidian style.
Your Royal Highness, avenge your wife quickly!!!
