Xiahou Chun came back to the palace five days later.

The snow had almost melted, and Bai Lixin, dressed in a loose robe, met Xiahou Chun in his study.

“You are here at last, General Xiahou. I have been living alone in my bedroom for the past few days. I have been afraid that someone might try to harm me again, and I have been on tenterhooks all day. Now that you have come, don’t leave! ”

A few cracks appeared on Xiahou Chun’s cold, hard face as he said, “Your Highness, since that man had used your horse to hurt you, he would not dare assassinate you in a grand manner. Please rest assured. ”

Bai Lixin looked up at the face that had appeared in his dreams so many times, recalling the image that had been played over and over again. A sudden, nameless fire rushed to his heart.

This was the man who had subverted the kingdom, disrupted the court, killed the father and the mother, and brought harm to the royal brother!

This man deserves to die!

He picked up the teapot at his side and threw it at Xiahou Chun, saying angrily, “Don’t worry about it! I’m not a cat with nine lives. If that man succeeds once, I’ll die! There is no room for regret! I tell you, Chun Xiahou, if I die, you won’t live either! ”

Xiahou Chun had taken off his armour and was dressed in a pure black robe. When he felt the teapot coming at him, he didn’t even dodge it, letting it hit him on the shoulder and roll onto the carpet. Without changing his face, he said, “I have spoken out of turn. I will protect his highness to the fullest. ”

Bai Lixin took two deep breaths and rubbed his forehead before saying anxiously, “Is General Xiahou hurt? For some reason, I have been irritable and violent these past few days. I can not control my emotions at all. I am still young, only seventeen years old, and when I think that my life has just begun and is about to end, I get really frightened. Please forgive me, General Xiahou, and do not take it to heart. ”

“This minister was just frightened. How could he blame Your Highness?” Xiahou Chun said, half-kneeling on the ground and clenching his hands into fists.

Bai Lixin stood up and walked over to Xiahou Chun’s face and helped him up, saying with remorse and pity, “General Xiahou has suffered! Please rise quickly.” He tilted his head and glanced at Xiahou Jun’s indifferent expression. He reached out to pat his shoulder where the teapot had just fallen, saying, “It’s all my fault. General Xiahou’s clothes are all wet. Si’er! Quickly lead General Xiahou to change into clothes that fit! ”

Xiahou Chun glanced at Bai Lixin with his eagle-like eyes, his expression slightly relaxed, “No need, Your Highness. I’ll just use my inner strength to dry them. ”

“That’s not possible. After all, tea is not like water; it will get stained. I have taken a lot of clothes from the inner sanctum in the past few days while waiting for General Xiahou to come. If nothing goes wrong, General Xiahou will not be required to leave the palace.”

Xiahou Chun lowered his head and looked at Bai Lixin. He nodded and said, “I will do as his Highness says.”

Only then did Bai Lixin sweep his apologies away and wink at Si’er, who rushed forward and said respectfully, “General Xiahou, please come with me.”

Just as Xiahou Chun turned to follow Si’er, Bai Lixin stopped him and said helplessly, “By the way, General Xiahou. Since my forehead injury, I have become increasingly unable to control my emotions and actions. If I ever do anything like this again, it will be because I can not control myself. General Xiahou must be more tolerant in the future.”

Xiahou Chun’s tall figure gave a slight pause, and he said without looking back, “I will remember!”

As he watched Xiahou Chun leave, Bai Lixin’s smiling expression changed to one of indifference.

You can’t die that quickly!

You caused the death of our Bai family and the bloodshed of the Snow Kingdom. I will slowly torture you to death!

He bent over and picked up the teapot from the carpet and walked back to the soft couch. He casually placed it on the sandalwood table and rested his cheek on one hand.

In his first life, things underwent a big change. But he was only seventeen years, a month before his bar mitzvah. At that time, he had not yet experienced life.

He did not have a good understanding of people and things, so he did not know about the world and its intrigues.

His mother was originally a concubine, but when the former empress died of a serious illness, she became the empress.

Bai Liwu was five years older than him. In his memories, Bai Liwu was like the white moon in the sky. He was gentle and kind, always treating others with the utmost kindness.

But now that he had returned and his mind was clear, he realised that his brother seemed different from the person he remembered.

Was he originally like that, but I had not realised it? Or had there been a change of heart?

Not only that, but that day in the dungeon, he had even felt killing intent from Bai Liwu.

Was that murderous intent directed at the ambitious Xiahou Chun, as he called him? Or to him?

Every time S419M took him to a world, it would analyse the mission and classify it into SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F and G according to the level of spiritual power in the world. S419M would grade his original world as an E-level world at best.

Although the level here would be low, the concern is great.

Brother Liwu, you were the one person that I couldn’t let go of over the last thousands of years, but don’t be what I think you are…

The little eunuch Si’er led Xiahou Chun to the side hall and said respectfully: “General Xiahou, this is the bedroom. Your Highness has asked the servants to clean up for you. There is a secret door in this room that is connected to his highness’s bedroom. That way, the general can protect his highness anytime and anywhere.”

Protect? Heh! You mean to keep me under surveillance at all times?

Xiahou Chun nodded, “Your Majesty has thought of everything.”

“His Highness has also prepared all the clothes for you, General Xiahou.

Xiahou Chun smiled and said, “When a man is away from home, he should not be too fussy. But I am particularly concerned when I am at home. I will not sleep on a pillow other than red coral, a quilt made of gold silk, or an embroidered mattress. I will not wear clothes other than gold silk or satin, and I will not drink water other than from the clear waters of Tianchi Lake. What I need depends on how Your Highness sees me. ”

Si’er’s jaw dropped as he listened to what Xiahou Chun was saying. They were all extremely rare items, some of which he had never heard of before.

Fortunately, Si’er had a good memory and remembered them well. Only then did he tremble and open the wardrobe and take out a piece of clothing. He looked at Xiahou Chun and asked, “General Xiahou, is this cloth included in the gold silk you just mentioned?”

Xiahou Chun scanned the rough blue cloth in Si’er’s arms and stumbled, “Is there anything else?”

Si’er hesitated for a moment and pointed to the wardrobe, “This servant is foolish. Everything else is similar. ”

Xiahou Chun took a few steps to the wardrobe, flipped through it, and laughed heartily.

It was all linen of the same color.

Xiahou Chun cleared his throat, “Because of today’s incident, I will change into this rough cloth for the time being. Get out.”

Si’er said hesitantly, “Don’t you need a servant to help change your clothes?”

“No, get out!”

After sending Si’er away, Xiahou Chun locked the door behind him and took off his outer robe. At first, he only needed to change into a new coat, but after taking off the wide robe, the restraint that had been hidden underneath his clothes suddenly burst out.

He laughed bitterly and took off his soiled trousers. He held his swollen member and stirred it. His mind recalled Bai Lixin’s frenzied cursing and reprimanding as he did so. He felt the blood rushing to the hardness in his hands as it became more and more swollen.

“What? He wants red coral pillows? And he wants to drink from the clear waters of Tianchi Lake? Ho! Does he want me to pluck the moon from the sky for him as decoration? ” Bai Lixin sneered and clucked the cup of tea in his hands. Yes… he does want to pluck the moon. Isn’t Bai Liwu the bright moon in the sky?

“Go and call him over. Aren’t we supposed to be inseparable? He should be dressed by now, right? ”

Bai Liwu’s true nature is still unknown, but this Xiahou Chun! He is a traitor! He must not be allowed to live for long! I’ll make sure he dies!

Si’er hurried to Xiahou Chun’s room and knocked on the door after seeing it closed: “Lord Xiahou, His Highness invites you to come.”

The room was unexpectedly quiet.

Si’er knocked again and put his ear to the doorframe. He heard a fumbling sound, interspersed with Xiaohu Chu’s muffled grunt.

Si’er’s heart tightened and he knocked a little faster: “Lord Xiahou, what is wrong with you?”

He shouted anxiously as he pressed his ear to the door frame, only to hear Xiahou Chun let out a loud, muffled grunt that was even louder than before. After gasping for breath, he said across the closed door, “Go back and tell His Highness that an old injury has recurred.”

“Yes, General Xiahou!” Hearing Xiahou Chun’s weak voice, Si’er rushed back to Bai Lixin in a flash.

When Bai Lixin heard Si’er’s report, he raised his eyebrows, “Are you saying that an old injury of his has recurred? Are you sure? ”

“Your Highness, I did not enter the room, but I heard Lord Xiahou panting and grunting in pain from time to time. It does not seem to be false. ”

Bai Lixin scratched his chin and said, “Xiahou Chun was injured? I didn’t know that. He seems to be hiding something very deep. ” But this man was treacherous. If the injury was a trick of his, wouldn’t he have let himself get trapped?

Half an hour later, when Bai Lixin was getting impatient, Xiahou Chun came over.

Bai Lixin was not annoyed, and he looked at Xiahou Chun up and down.

Although the coarse linen clothes were not even as good as those worn by the eunuchs and palace maids, on the battle-hardened Xiahou Chun’s body, they did not dampen his aura at all.

This kind of aura is only possessed by people who are superior and valiant. It was a blessing for a country to have such a person. Bai Lixin even admired the aura Xiahou Chun exudes, but unfortunately, he had chosen a different path. In this life, they were destined to be enemies to the death.
