What he said must have poked at Li Xiao’s funny bone, because the man holding him suddenly started laughing next to his ear.
The sound of his laughter made his neck itch. Li Xiao’s lips even touched his earlobe, causing him to pull back faintly. He looked up to see, but that man already moved away, asking “Who let you come here?”
Song Song abruptly realized the elderly maid who opened the door harbored malicious intentions. But since he planned to come anyway, one can even say they lent him a hand. So he said: “I wanted to come myself.”
Not knowing why, he almost felt like the smile within Li Xiao’s eyes grew even as he narrowed his eyes: “Why did you dare to come alone?”
“I…” Song Song paused, meeting his gaze, and said. “I wanted to see, if I was special.”
He looked at Li Xiao and Li Xiao looked back at him. The atmosphere suddenly held an unspeakable tension. Song Song saw his eyes overflow with something heavy again, and hurriedly turned his face. “Let’s leave already. Steward Qi is very worried about you.”
Li Xiao suddenly swept him off his feet, startling Song Song who heard him say. “If there’s no bed, are you still willing to sleep with this king?”
Realizing his meaning, Song Song blanked for a moment.
There’s still… an unfortunate fellow with his head smashed in on the floor here. Li Xiao really was crazy, right? To even consider a place like this…
Outside, steward Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Even though there wasn’t any huge movement from inside the hall, he knew at this moment Song Song was definitely dead meat. His highness’s sword was extremely swift, even more so during his outbursts. Even if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to face it head on. All these years he’s been able to survive was all thanks to his ability to escape and run away. Even so, he still sustained numerous small injuries in the process.
Not to mention the fact that Song Song had the physique like that of a pampered son of a wealthy family. The clothes he wore looked like they were just hanging on him. It was easy to see how thin and weak his bone structure was. So it was really unlikely he could escape.
He mouthed a death prayer to help send away Song Song’s spirit, but then unexpectedly heard a loud laugh from inside the room.
Oh mad king, mad king. Laughing crazily isn’t even strange.
Steward Qi stood up swiftly and tried to figure out what was going on inside.
Realizing Li Xiao was purposely teasing him, Song Song felt his face burn hot. He struggled to get out of Li Xiao’s arms, but heard the other say: “There’s blood on the ground. This king will carry you.”
The door opened wide. Li Xiao carried him all the way outside and only placed him down after Song Song begged him. Steward Qi looked at them from afar, afraid to come closer.
He even rubbed his eyes hard, waited until Li Xiao approached closer, before kneeling down in a hurry. “Wangye feel better?”
“This king feels great.” Li Xiao said. “Clean up this yard.”
“This servant obeys.”
Li Xiao side-eyed Song Song, reached out a hand to pull at his fingers and headed back to the main house while asking quietly. “Where’s the hand warmer that this king ordered people to get for you?”

Such gentleness and adoration, was a strange view no matter how he looked at it. A kind of marvel that’s not usually seen on earth or in heaven.
Steward Qi ordered people to come clean up the front hall. He himself returned to his house. He just grabbed money and exited when he ran into Qi Haoyun who dashed over, “Dad, dad! Song gongzi is okay! Song gongzi he…”
Steward Qi saw his inconceivable look, as if seeing a mirror to his own stupefied expression just moments before. He said calmly: “I already know.”
“Wangye, wangye didn’t kill him!”
Yeah, and he even carried him out.
Steward Qi still indifferently replied. “En.”
Qi Haoyun finally noticed the bag of money in his hand and asked in a daze. “Where are you going?”
“The gambling hall has a new game.” The old steward, who didn’t even gamble, said, “Spend a little and in one round, I can win back a lot.”
Qi Haoyun nagged “All those games are just money pits.”
“Dad’s fortune is good today. Just you wait. Promise I’ll earn enough to get you a wife.”
“Pa!” A cup shattered on the ground. Madam Qin stared at the maid in front of her. “Say it again?”
The maid trembled with fear. “That Song gongzi…. didn’t die.”
Madam Qin’s voice was still calm. “How did he not die?”
“Wangye didn’t kill him.”
“Wasn’t wangye having one of his episodes?” She asked: “Why didn’t he kill Song Song?”
“I… I don’t know…” That maid replied. “Maybe, maybe he brought some kind of medication that could sooth nerves…”
Madam Qin’s expression instantly twisted. “If there really were such an effective drug, then would the emperor still use 18 bodyguards while meeting him?”
The maid was also very befuddled. “But… but he’s still alive.”
Completely unharmed and very comfortable.
In the dining hall of the main house. Song Song stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, the thick juicy fat immediately spurt out between his teeth and onto his tongue. Smiling, he picked up a piece for Li Xiao. “Try this. It tastes great. Our chef is really skilled.”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course!”
“How is he compared to the chef from FuXiang restaurant?”
Song Song paused, biting his chopsticks as he faced Li Xiao. “Each has their own merits. The two masters are both very skilled.”
“Then how about we hold off on going to FuXiang restaurant to eat for a while?”
Song Song nodded, understanding that Li Xiao must have his reasoning for making this arrangement. He heard him speak up again. “Also, don’t go out alone for a while… nevermind. You never go out anyways.”
This request was indeed a little superfluous. Song Song smiled. “Don’t worry, your highness. I won’t cause any trouble for you.”
If he remembered correctly, it’ll still be two more years before Li Xiao ascends the throne. When Song Ge disguised himself to look like him and brought the child to find Li Xiao, that child was already one year old. But in order to sit on that throne, the secret preparations must have taken place at least two years. Song Song didn’t understand any of this nor did he ask. He was afraid that if he said too much, maybe he’d change the sequence of events. If Li Xiao weren’t able to become the emperor, the good ending would be to be sent away to some barren land. The bad ending would be to lose one’s life.
Thinking to this point, he couldn’t help but ask Li Xiao: “Does your highness have a habit of drinking outside?
Li Xiao replied: “Sometimes.”
“You… should drink less.” Song Song said, face full of hardship. “If you drink and have a slip of the tongue…”
Li Xiao’s eye expression warmed. “No need to worry. This king knows his limits.”
How could he not worry? His fingers unconsciously touched his own stomach. Until now, the child hasn’t appeared yet.
Because he couldn’t go out, Li Xiao naturally considered the fact that he’ll be bored. He ordered people to build a greenhouse and let him plant some flowers and grass inside. This fitted Song Song’s interests just right.
When Li Xiao gave him seeds, Song Song impatiently ran off to the greenhouse. He first separated the seeds and planted a few of them in pots. “After scattering the seeds, they should sprout in a few days, right?”
“If the temperature is warm enough, the fast ones will take 3-5 days.”
Song Song smiled as he stood up. “Your highness is educated in something like this?”
“Just a little.” Li Xiao held a small hoe and helped him flip the dirt, paused, then added. “This king knows a little of everything.”
Song Song smiled again. He looked down, hands fiddling with the little seeds, and suddenly said. “Then… does your highness know how long it takes for a baby to grow in the stomach?”
Li Xiao looked at him. Song Song turned his face again. “If someone wants a baby to drop next year… when does your highness think is the best time to sow the seed?”
Li Xiao squeezed the little hoe, recalled Song Song’s implicit and explicit hints all this time, and suddenly understood everything. Eyelashes fluttering, he licked lips and asked a question that he knew the answer to. “Song-er… can have a baby?”
This topic was really too forward and too embarrassing. Still, the desire to have a child overcame his feeling of shame. Song Song faced Li Xiao somewhat nervously, “What if, what if I can?”
Li Xiao was silent for a long time.
Song Song suddenly started laughing, snatching away the hoe to dig the soil. “I was joking. How can I have a baby? No need to take it to heart, your highness.”
He quietly thought. In the end, this kind of thing was too inconceivable. In the previous life, Li Xiao only saw the picked fruit. If he had to watch the fruit grow, who knows how scared he’d be.
What if he thought he was a monster and killed him?
Maybe, after they have sex, he can find an opportunity to separate from Li Xiao for a while, wait until he ascended the throne, then come back to find him?
But if he did that, he’d be accused of being heartless, trying to obtain what he didn’t deserve, and probably end up dying again.
Li Xiao tilted his head to watch his lover flipping the dirt while looking completely frustrated, his eyebrows raised a little. “According to what this king knows, if someone wants results by next year, then they should start working hard right now.
He asked: “What does Song-er think about this?”
Song Song immediately threw away the hoe, wiped his palms off, and looked expectantly at Li Xiao: “Great minds think alike.”
The author has something to say:
Li Xiao: This king suddenly regrets again.
Song Song: QWQ
