THIRD PERSON POV
Huang Longwei was in his study room when Ye Qiu suddenly burst into his room. He looked up and glared at the servant that just came in.
"Your Majesty, it's the Empress. Hurry!"
Hearing those words, he immediately went out and flew to Feng Liqin's courtyard. Arriving at the scene, he frowned seeing his wife's power growing immensely. Looking around, he doesn't see Xiaoli anywhere. Looking behind him, he sees Shun Rong in one of the other servant's arms. But, what surprised him was his son's empty eyes. His frown deepened knowing the cause for it.
Without wasting any more time than he already has, he walked forward towards his cultivating wife. Bai, his beast, went to protect him as he entered into his wife's cultivating area that seems to be growing bigger. Huang Longwei let out most of his power to let himself go through the swirling storm easier. When he was near enough, Bai went out of the swirling storm. Facing his wife nearly unconscious form, he let out more of his power and knelt in front of him.
"My love, come back. It's time you awaken. Come back, love." Huang Longwei whispered in Feng Liqin's ear, but nothing happened. Huang Longwei held Feng Liqin in his arms as he whispered the same words again. When there was still no change, he whispered for the last time. "My love, Feng Liqin. Wake up. I, your husband, Huang Longwei am waiting for you. Come back to me. My love, Feng Liqin. Wake up. Your child, your son, your most priceless treasure, Shun Rong is waiting for you." With those last words, everything stopped as if frozen. "Wake up and come back not only to me, your husband but to your son, Shun Rong." Everything fell. Whatever that was held within the storm and stopped in midair, fell.
Feng Liqin opened his eyes to see pure white orbs with swirls of light blue in front of him. Feeling nothing but warmth, he knew instantly whose eyes he was staring into. He smiled at the man in front of him and pecked their lips. Huang Longwei smiled and gave his wife a long fulfilling kiss in return. Feng Liqin giggled and pushed Huang Longwei away before he continued anymore. He smiled at his husband fondly and wrapped his arms around Huang Longwei's neck.
Shun Rong watched with empty eyes as his Imperial Father went to save his Imperial Mother. He knew that his mother didn't die, but the memories from before couldn't disappear from his mind. It seemed to become clearer to the point he could almost see it in front of his eyes. It became clearer and clearer the more he thought about it. Then, he screamed.
"AHH!!"
Feng Liqin and Huang Longwei looked at where the scream came from. Feng Liqin got out of Huang Longwei's grasp and ran to Shun Rong. He took his son into his arms and held him. Shun Rong kept screaming and squirming without looking at who was it that held him. Huang Longwei and Feng Liqin held him and whispered in his ears to calm him down. Nothing was working. So, Feng Liqin did the only thing that he knew. He held Shun Rong's forehead with his right hand and chanted. Once he was finished, Shun Rong went limp. He then chanted something else Shun Rong went to sleep.
Feng Liqin sighs and looked up at Huang Longwei with saddened eyes. Huang Longwei looked back at his wife with a sad smile and picked up Shun Rong. He took him to their room and laid him down on their bed.
Feng Liqin laid beside Shun Rong. He wrapped Shun Rong in his arms as he slept soundly. Huang Longwei laid on the other side and wrapped both into his arms. He didn't expect something like this to happen. But now that it did, he could only calmly sit back and wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Huizhong woke up with a mild headache. He looked at his surroundings to see that he was asleep on the floor of his little brother's room. Standing up, he looked to his left to see that the family was sound asleep on the bed. Feeling embarrassed, he went out the door. Before closing it, he looked again at the little family his brother had made. He felt a little jealousy inside himself for not being able to have it yet happy that his little brother had found his own happiness. Huizhong unconsciously smiled while looking at the sleeping figures. He imagined his own little family with his soon-to-be husband. Huizhong was then awakened, again, from his dream land by Emperor that pulled him out of the room and towards the courtyard.
"Um, good evening, Your Highness." Huizhong bowed to the Emperor.
"Raise your head. When we're alone, you don't need to bow to me. You are still considered my elder brother even though your younger than me." Huang Longwei said. He sat down on the chair at the balcony facing the courtyard. "Now, please sit down elder brother. I would like to have a little chat with you." Huizhong nodded silently and sat on the opposite side. "I would like to ask why you were sleeping on the floor of your little brother's and my room?" Huang Longwei asked straight away.
Huizhong swallowed. He needed to calm down. He is not talking to the Emperor now. He is talking to his younger brother's husband. He took a breather first before answering. "I'm really sorry for the inconvenience that I caused but I had a little problem with Zhong Shen. Little Feng was trying to soothed me, that's all." Huizhong tried explaining to the Emperor. Unfortunately, he was bad at explaining his own predicament.
"What was the little problem that your facing with Zhong Shen? If you don't mind me asking since I know how stupid the idiot could be." Huang Longwei asked even though he could already guessed the problem.
Huizhong hesitated but nonetheless spoke up. He knew the best person to speak to was Huang Longwei, Zhong Shen's childhood friend. "Well, you see. Zhong Shen and I were having an early lunch together. It was going well that I thought nothing would go wrong. That was until a woman barged in. She hugged and squealed at Zhong Shen as if I wasn't there. She then proceeded to kiss him right on the lips." Huizhong's hand was now clutched tightly in a fist and was slightly shaking. "Zhong Shen didn't even pulled away! After her kissing him, I cleared my throat to get their attention. The woman looked at me then turned away to face Zhong Shen again, ignoring me." Huizhong slowly took a breather before continuing. "I cleared my throat again to get their attention and asked Zhong Shen who the woman was. Zhong Shen kept on gaping his mouth, not saying a word while the woman answered. She said that she was his fiance." Huizhong's whole body was shaking in rage. He breathed again to calm himself. "Huizhong didn't even deny it. When she asked me who I was, Zhong Shen finally spoke but said that I was the new Imperial General that he would be working with!" Huizhong slammed the table with his fist. He was infuriated with Zhong Shen. "Then, he told me to wait while he escorted the damn woman out of his house!" HUizhong breathed hard.
Huang Longwei watched silently, not giving Huizong any sort of expression. After letting Huizhong cool off a bit, he finally spoke. "Alright. If that's how it is. I'll cut off your engagement with Zhong Shen." Huizhong looked at Huang Longwei with a frown. "Don't ask me why I'm doing this and listen to what I have to say first." Huizhong listened to Huang Longwei. He smiled darkly.
'Oh my dear, Zhong Shen. I will make you suffer for what you did to me. That is for sure.' Huizhong thought.
