17: A servant that does his complete bitting

Chu Liang felt awkward. He was now sitting at the table with his brother in law and husband. This rarely happens. He barely eats with his own husband, much less.

Jia Min Sheng only pays attention to his food. He doesn't know what's going on through his little brother's head.

Jia Hui Liang eats with a blank smile, his brother in law such a grieving character. He doesn't know his story, but he knows that he and his brother are similar in character. They both have a hard time expressing themselves.

That's why he at least needs them to communicate with each other.

Jia Hui Liang used to think his brother was this ever so great person, but he is such a grieving character.

Jia Hui Liang remembers his past life talking to his brother about his brother in law.

Jia Hui Liang caresses his swollen abdomen gently, feeling a sadness taking over.

“Brother, I feel terrible.” He said, looking at his stomach.

His brother raises his head, and he looks at the feeble Jia Hui Liang, worried. He walked over and then went on one knee, “where does it hurt?”

Jia Hui Liang looks into the eyes of his brother as sadness engulfs him. He gently touches his chest in pain directly at his heart. “Here, I love them so much, you know? That's why… That's why… I can't understand, didn't I love him much? Couldn't he love her more? They are siblings!”

Jia Hui Liang clenches his chest tighter, and his heart is weak. Jia Min Sheng holds the back of his palms gently as he looks into his eyes. “ Things don't always work as you want them to. Life is complicated. Not all siblings will love unconditionally. Look at us.”

“You didn't like me, but you were still here in the end, right?” Jia Hui Liang said, “you didn't burn my face. You didn't humiliate me to madness! But I loved him so much, but I can't help but feel hateful towards that child. They corrupted him. I want my Yu er back, but I can't stand his face.”

Jia Min Sheng hugs his brother, feeling the sadness in his heart. “Together we'll save Yu'er.”

The promise that was made never came true. Why? Because that man killed him.

His precious brother, he'll avenge Him he will pay, truly my beloved emperor I hope you die a miserable and painful Death for he Jia Hui Liang beloved and what happens to the people he loved? Died miserably.

There wasn't much to say at breakfast. It was cold and distant without much warmth, but that's okay with Jia Hui Liang because that's how honest the people here are…

After that, the Jia brother's now have a private discussion to themselves, and Jia Min Sheng looks at his little brother. He really changed after all the palace does that, especially to pampered children like him; he should have never let him go.

Jia Hui Liang smiles blankly, brother. I need your powers…he said.

Jia Min Sheng nodspr “I'll give you… I'll even try to get you out–”

“No, if you do… the emperor will scheme against you.”

“I don't care… I'll protect you.”

“Not like that, you are my only family left, I can't lose you.” Jia Hui Liang said sternly.

Jia Min Sheng was taken aback by the tone he gritted his teeth. “Hui Er! Don't plaY stubborn, haven't you learned anything?”

“I have! That's why I must protect you… so you can protect me. In order to do that, you must not challenge his authority.”

Jia Min Sheng twitches, but he understands, he doesn't like it, but his little brother is precious to him.

“Fine, you wish it were so! Play stubborn and be the daring child!” He scolds harshly.

Jia Hui Liang blinks but chuckles, his brother as usual, not good with his words.

“Brother, I need a guard–”

“I know, I will give you,” he said.

“brother, I want one, with utter loyalty to me. One that would do my every command without questions, can you give me that?” Jia Hui Liang asks calmly.

Jia Min Sheng looks into the eyes of his brother, in it there were deep sadness he connot phathom. He simply just nods gently…

“Xie” he called softly.

Jia Hui Liang tilts his head, confused. Not long after a man covered in all black faces hidden beneath a black devil mask, a chill ran down his spine looking at the man shrouded in black.

There is something off about him as if the devil lingering close by not too far away makes him wonder; what has this man has done.

“Don't be frightened, he will do you no harm.” Jia Min Sheng informs… “this is Xie Gui. He asks only one thing: do not remove his mask or ask for it to be removed, and he will follow your every word without questions.”

Jia Hui Liang looks at his brother, that's it? No Other conditions?

He walked up to the servant and then went gracefully bent down, “you'd do my every word, even if it comes at the price of your life?”

The servant said nothing, instead only taking out a  dagger, Jia Hui Liang barely reacted when the blade struck. Jia Hui Liang slowly opens his eyes that are close, his mouth and gap open seeing the man's bleeding chest.

This says it all. The wound was close but not letal. No questions asked, he nods, “very well.”

“I understand. Thank you, brother.” Jia Hui Liang said sincerely.

Jia Min Sheng had many questions, but he understands its best to not ask. His brother relies on him, and that's enough.

“Go heal your wound,” he orders.

Xie Gui nods, vanishing from his sight…

Jia Hui Liang head tilts as he thinks about his plans, he know he can't attack the emperor now, and that's why he will attack the smaller people.

Which means… Jia Hui Liang smiles turned cold, chilling everyone in the room as his eyes became deranged as his shrunk.

Yes, the palace will burn, and he warms himself with fire.
