Zhai Tianyu looked down at his brother’s hand which was slightly twisted and then looked up to see Zhai Heng who was staring at him blankly even though his finger looked like it has come under the wheel of a carriage.

” Ehe,” Zhai Tianyu smiled at his brother with a cute expression as he raised his hand and patted his shoulder. ” You are indeed worthy of the vice commander of the special tropes look at that blank and stoic face of yours even if your finger has been twisted like this, I made no mistake while choosing you as the vice commander. The future of this country is in good hands.”

Zhai Heng who was being praised rather than being taken to the imperial physician breathed a long breath and closed his eyes as he chanted two Buddhist scriptures to calm his head but the throbbing ache in his fingers caused him unable to concentrate which was why he opened his eyes and then released the breath that he just took as he opened his lips and said, ” Your majesty if you do not mind can you give me two minutes to talk to you like an elder brother instead of a subordinate?”

” That’s—— quite all right,” Zhai Tianyu agreed when Zhai Heng raised his hand and showed his broken finger to him, feeling a little bit guilty when he saw the twisted finger, maybe he should have controlled his strength now, he has to take note of this what if he was to do the same thing with the queen?

His brother was fine but his queen will not be.

It was a good thing that Zhai Heng did not know what was going on in the head of his brother or else he would have coughed up three litres of blood and died on the spot. But fortunately, he couldn’t read minds which was why instead of coughing up blood, he opened his mouth and said, ” You damned brat——-”

” Oh I see that the Queen is finished I will go and help her,” Zhai Tianyu who realised that he was going to be scolded immediately turned around and rushed to where Liu Hui Ying was leaving Yu Lingyun who was behind Zhai Heng to stop the latter.

.....

” Let me go Lingyun, that boy is asking for a smack in his butt! Look at my fingers!” Zhai Hneg cursed while Yu Lingyun pulled him back by holding him by his waist, both of Yu Lingyun’s arms were around Zhai Heng’s waist as the latter cried, ” He is the king and not your younger brother alone, you cannot smack the butt of the Emperor.”

” Why cannot I? I believe I can! Let me go I will smack them heavenly buttcheeks! Lemme at him!” Zhai Heng roared but then his mouth was covered by Yu Lingyun who pulled him out of the fighting arena, the latter continued to struggle to keep a hold of Zhai Heng who was shouting even though his words were now muffled and incoherent.

‘ I am going to resign, once I get old I am going to buy a nice thatched hut away from these brothers and spent my old age in peace,’ thought Yu Lingyun as he dragged Zhai Heng off the training spot.

….

Zhai Tianyu of course heard the roaring curses of his brother but he ignored them as he walked over to where Liu Hui Ying was and then came to stand beside her, making sure to keep a distance between the two of them as he said, ” Are you feeling all right, my queen?” ????????n????ℯ????????. ????om

” Quiet refreshed,” Liu Hui Ying wiped the blood off her hands with a smile that did not suit the grimy and gooey scenario compared with the decapitated body behind them. ” My sister is very satisfied now that she has taken the life of a man who deserved to be punished, she is not even angry at you, your esteemed majesty.”

‘ She soon will once I try to get close to you,’ thought Zhai Tianyu in his head, but his smile that was part innocent and part gentle did not give away his wolfish thoughts as he looked at the woman who looked adorable.

The man who died in the hands of the adorable woman and was now being dragged to the underworld by the guardians: “...” Am I a joke to you? Can you not see my body, you crazy emperor? Calling that monster adorable!!

Liu Hui Ying wiped her hands with the handkerchief and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who was standing beside her, with a tilt of her neck, she looked at the man and then said, ” Will you be fine your majesty?”

” Whatever do you mean my queen?” He asked as the wind of the autumn rustled their robes and made Liu Hui Ying’s hair that was already dishevelled enough to flutter and get ruffled even more. Her bangs that were behind her ear moved to the front going into her eyes which caused her to close them on instinct.

Seeing this Zhai Tianyu moved before he could stop himself, he moved the strand of the hair that was in Liu Hui Ying’s eye but maybe his move shocked the both of them as Liu Hui Ying opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise while Zhai Tianyu who was removing the strand of her hair that was in her eyes paused.

His hand hovered in the air with the strand of Liu Hui Ying’s hair in between his fingers before he parted his lips and said, ” It seems you are no longer as allergic to my scent as you were before, my Queen. Does this calls for a celebration?”
