Chapter 401: Chapter 400: Together Forever, Two as One

"Yexuan..." Chu Qianli inexplicably felt her mouth dry.

Her lips parched and tongue scorched, if she didn’t drink some water soon, she might become so dehydrated she couldn’t speak at all.

"I remember."

"I’m cold," Feng Yexuan didn’t let go, in fact, he tightened his arms even more.

"Don’t mess around, your body is not well," Chu Qianli panicked.

When he tightened his long arms, her body was pulled towards him, and they stuck closely together without any space between them.

He was not cold at all!

In fact, the warmth coming from his body was frighteningly high!

It felt like... that kind of feeling...

Chu Qianli breathed with difficulty, still wanting to push him away.

But she didn’t dare to use force, afraid that she might hurt him.

Not daring to push hard resulted in being hugged even tighter by him.

Both bodies pressed even more tightly together!

She could even feel the changes in his body!

"The character for ’lust’ has a knife above it... don’t, don’t mess around."

Her face must have been blushing furiously by now.

She thought she feared neither heaven nor earth, but unexpectedly, she was afraid of a man’s embrace.

If it were the past situation, where his body was healthy, pain-free, and they were enemies, she could have greeted him with a slap.

But now like this... where could she dare to strike?

And how could she bear to strike?

What if she couldn’t control her strength and caused him to cough up blood?

Compared to her panic, Feng Yexuan at this moment seemed somewhat calm.

Inside, he harbored too much guilt, as well as an attachment to her.

His voice, hoarse and sensually messed up, said, "Lili, do you still hate me?"

Chu Qianli was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook her head.

Hate him?

Actually, she probably didn’t hate him anymore, right?

Moreover, her enemy had never been him from the beginning to the end.

"In the past, I also made mistakes." Many misunderstandings were also because she didn’t explain them.

If she could do as he asked, to tell him all her insecurities, panic, helplessness, and even grievances.

If the two of them faced these together, wouldn’t they avoid so many detours?

Actually, a long, long time ago, he had said he could protect her.

He even said he only wanted her for a lifetime.

Only, she didn’t believe him.

Now, does she believe?

Chu Qianli bit her lip, still couldn’t help it, and looked up at him.

"Fu Ning said, your biggest concern is that after I become Emperor, I won’t be able to let go of having three thousand beauties in the harem."

"How did Fu Ning talk about these things with you?" That naughty girl, the worries she occasionally shared with her, were unexpectedly revealed to him.

"It was I who asked her to come, wanting to understand you better through her words."

Fu Ning was now very grateful to him, so she took the initiative to tell him many things that he had not asked about.

Chu Qianli mumbled with pouting lips, "If you want to understand me, why not learn directly from me?"

Why involve someone else in the matters between the two of them?

"That’s because you’ve always been insincere, I can never get any truthful information from that little mouth of yours!"

When Chu Qianli heard this, her heart inevitably soured a bit.

"Am I... really that bad?"

"You’re not bad, you just, don’t trust me."

"I..."

"I am also at fault for never lowering my pride enough to stand in your position and think for you," Feng Yexuan gently grasped her shoulders, turning her petite body to face him.

Chu Qianli’s eyes twinkled brightly.

For this moment of warmth and tranquility, he had nearly risked his life.

If someone were to ask whether it was worth it,

Before, he did not know, but now, staring into her watery eyes, smelling her unique fragrance, feeling her slightly disordered breathing,

Suddenly, his heart opened up.

It was worth it!

Very worth it!

"Lili..."

"Hmm?" Chu Qianli’s face remained feverishly hot.

What a strange feeling it was. Why hadn’t she realized before that this man, when looked at up close, could be so irresistibly attractive that it made one’s body heat up?

Just as Chu Qianli was becoming increasingly parched and even felt a little dizzy, the man suddenly threw out an indifferent line, "If you dislike it, would it be alright for me to give up the throne?"

Chu Qianli was stunned on the spot.

Give up, the throne.

Could he be serious?

The throne, Jiangshan, the whole world of Beiming Country.

How could one simply give it up?

Her wide eyes shifted from shock, to disbelief, and then, to a steely coldness.

"Prince."

Feng Yexuan’s eyes darkened slightly - the woman was calling him Prince again.

She still didn’t fully trust him.

But there was a whole lifetime ahead of them, and in that lifetime, he would definitely make her trust him completely.

"Prince, you may renounce this Jiangshan, but I know very well that you would not stand idly by and watch this Jiangshan fall into the hands of a tyrant."

"If the Medicine Man Army lurking in the shadows is orchestrated by one of your fellow princes, your abdication would give him the chance to take advantage."

"What would become of Beiming Country’s people then...?"

So she didn’t trust him because she knew that he could not let go of his people of Beiming!

"Prince, please don’t make promises so lightly about things you cannot do!" Her voice was cold as she turned her face away.

But Feng Yexuan felt a slight urge to laugh.

Turning her face back to him, he said, "I never said I would give up the people of Beiming..."

"So, you think it’s amusing to deceive me with sweet talk and false promises?"

That was precisely what angered her the most!

She had never asked for anything, nor would she ever ask him to give up everything.

But if he couldn’t do it, then he shouldn’t try to coax her the way he might other women.

Such deception would make her feel as if she were both stupid and foolish in his eyes.

"Yes, I won’t give up the people of Beiming, but since the title of Beiming Emperor makes you uneasy, then I will also give up the throne."

"You..."

"How about we leave the throne to Jinrui?"

"What did you say?" Chu Qianli’s heart nearly stopped beating.

What was he talking about? What did he mean?

Feng Yexuan’s long fingers rested on her forehead, sliding down slowly and gently massaging the center of her brows.

That motion was indescribably tender and cautious, filled with an overwhelming sense of tenderness.

"I was saying, because you dislike the harem an emperor must have, even if the emperor himself doesn’t want it, the whole nation will arrange it for him. Therefore, to put an end to your sadness and anger once and for all, I would rather give up this Jiangshan."

She didn’t speak.

She was so moved that she couldn’t even find her voice.

To root out the person behind the Medicine Man Army, to stabilize this Jiangshan, and then to entrust this Jiangshan to Feng Jinrui, who might not yet be mature enough but whose nature was inherently good...

People will always grow, and Jinrui will surely come into his own in time.

Yet his kindness and generosity will never change for a lifetime.

Such a ruler for Beiming Country would surely bring a happy life to the people of Beiming.

And he, could he truly let go of everything and just live out his days with her?
