Xia Xi finished making the last shirt for the children, he folded it neatly and planned to let Lan Duo'er send it to the An 'Eryuan the next day. When Lan Duo'er heard his movements, she presented brewed tea for him to drink and combed his hair before styling it up. Before she could put down the comb, someone came in from the outside.
Xia Xi was stunned when he saw who the visitor was. He never expected that Chu Lan would suddenly come at this time. After all, it had only been three days since he last came. But after thinking about it, he understood the reason, and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Lan Duo'er stepped forward to salute, Chu Lan waved at her and excused her, he then ordered: "Don't come in tonight."
Chu Lan's garbs were those of an ordinary guard's again. Even in that kind of clothes, he was still particularly handsome. He was tall and strong, he filled the gap between them in two steps, preventing Xia Xi from trying to get up and salute him. He picked up the comb on the table and began combing his hair. Xia Xi hurriedly said, "My lord, there's no need..."
Chu Lan smiled softly: "I'm just helping you comb it, why so panicked?" Xia Xi pursed his lips and didn't speak, his eyelashes lowered slightly, he didn't actually look at his husband through the bronze mirror. Chu Lan noticed his abnormality, the corners of his mouth were drawn into a deeper smile. He pretended to be aggrieved: "What? Is it because I've been coming often and annoyed you?"
Xia Xi said in shock: "How could I dare."
Chu Lan laughed and threw away the comb, he stretched out his hands to pick him up and easily did so, plucking him from the stool he was sitting on and positioning him on his lap. He pinched Xia Xi's chin and forced him to raise his head to face himself, "Was I annoying? Huh? Can you let me know what I did wrong?"
A blush spread across Xia Xi's face, he tried his best to keep his eyes closed and whispered, "I dare not..."
Chu Lan leaned in and pecked his lips. He just half-pressed and didn't back away. From time to time, he stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked Xia Xi's lips, saying affectionately, "Tell me, what did I do wrong?"
Xia Xi's face was even redder, he resisted silently. Chu Lan didn't urge him, just wantonly licking his lips with the tip of his tongue, as if coaxing. The corners of his mouth and lip line was licked all over, all of it was stained with Chu Lan's drool. Xia Xi finally couldn't hold back after being licked this much. His eyelashes trembled, his eyes met Chu Lan's line of sight, and he asked softly: "When Hu Ji died... was it your flesh and blood in her stomach?"
This question had been lingering inside Xia Xi's mind for the past few days, and his discomfort reached its peak when Cai Huan deliberately showed off in front of him. Chu Lan didn't express surprise at his question, his expression remained the same, but he asked with a smile, "What if it was? Are you annoyed that I touched her?"
Xia Xi was startled, his heart was sour, but he couldn't help but think about it. After such a long time, he had already been mentally prepared. Chu Lan was the King. How could he expect this man to live his life loyal only to him? Xia Xi endured his sorrow and said: "No... if she really did have your child, why did you persecute her like this? I— I probably can't give birth, if she had given birth to the child..." He slowly said. Gradually, Chu Lan's expression changed, Xia Xi didn't speak any more, observing him a little nervously.
After a long time, Chu Lan said, "So you want me to be with other women because of this?"
Xia Xi was both ashamed and uneasy, nervously avoiding Chu Lan's scorching eyes, he whispered: "You are the King, you can't have no Queen..."
Chu Lan stared at him. After a while, his tight expression finally relaxed, as if he felt a bit helpless. He held Xia Xi tighter and buried his face on the side of his neck, he said: "It had been so long and you still haven't gotten pregnant. Have you thought that maybe it's not your problem? Maybe it's mine?" Xia Xi was stunned, "How could it be..." Chu Lan's tone relaxed, "Aren't men also vulnerable to infertility?" He hugged Xia Xi tighter, as if enclosing him inside a safe barrier, and said while committing his smell to memory: "I didn't touch her. She did have a child in her belly, but it wasn't mine. Hu Ji already had one before even entering the Palace. She was forced to separate from her lover by her father who offered her to Mugelhan. My uncle saw that she was beautiful and wanted to use her to spy on me, the people he had previously stuffed next to me before had all been found out. When we went to Zhangcheng, I found out about it and struck a deal with her, and then she was given to me. I had sent someone to look for traces of her lover beforehand, I ordered him to be disguised as a guard and sent him to the Palace to convince her to turn to my side."
Xia Xi felt like he was listening to a fanciful story, but he was puzzled and asked, "What happened later?"
Chu Lan said: "She agreed, and so all the news sent to my uncle were mixes of half-truths and fallacies. I led an expedition and pretended to be severely wounded. He believed it to be true. He didn't wait for the troops to arrive before storming Yudu¹. The imperial guards who had been bought trapped me in the Palace, but were eventually arrested by my uncle and me."
He spoke lightly but Xia Xi knew that what had happened was undeniably dangerous and chaotic, and that if he hadn't been carefully, Chu Lan would've lost the chance to return to his side forever. Thinking of this, he trembled all over, he couldn't help but hug Chu Lan tightly and ask: "What happened after? Hu Ji..."
Chu Lan kissed the side of his neck and chuckled, "As the King, I know that I should always get rid of future troubles in advance, but when I thought of you, my heart softened, thinking that if you knew about this, you'll definitely blame me, even if you don't blame me, you'll surely scold me cruelly in your heart, and maybe even drift away from me..." Xia Xi interrupted him and whispered, "I won't..."
Chu Lan replied, "You will, so I let her go and sent her and her lover back to their homeland, I told the world that she got violently ill and died." He raised his head and rubbed Xia Xi's cheeks, looking at him with bright eyes, "Xi'er, did I do well?"
Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, a sincere smile bloomed across his face. He kissed him on the lips and praised: "Good job."
Chu Lan smiled happily and then pouted, "Since I've done well, give me more rewards. I finally came here after so long. If you don't take the initiative to kiss and hug me, I've had wasted all my time."
Xia Xi took the initiative ask for a kiss, closing his eyes and pouting his lips obediently, Chu Lan whispered: "Stick out your tongue." Xia Xi endured the embarrassment and stuck his tongue out for him to suck. A triumphant gleam appeared in Chu Lan's eyes, he eagerly played with it with his own tongue. The domineering tongue almost coaxed Xia Xi's own tongue out of his mouth, Chu Lan then picked him up and put him on the bed.
Xia Xi's body had become soft while he was being kissed, and all of his clothes had already been taken off unknowingly when his sanity finally recovered. He reached out and grabbed the quilt to cover his chest, putting one hand on Chu Lan's chest in resistance, he gasped: "I... I still have something to ask you..."
Chu Lan didn't try to attack him, he straightened up deliberately and began to take off his clothes while asking, "What do you need to ask?"
Xia Xi stared at the sturdy body that was slowly becoming more and more exposed, his face flushed, and his heartbeat thundered. He quickly moved his eyes away and asked, "You.... did you deliberately let the Cai Huan come?"
Chu Lan had already removed all articles of clothing on his body. He had strong muscles, slender limbs, and the thing between his crotch was already quite tall. It looked hard and thick, with a terrifying momentum, and exuding a rich fishy odor. Chu Lan said, "Weren't you master and servant who unwaveringly supported one another? I thought you wanted to see her."
Xia Xi was a bit embarrassed, "You did it on purpose!" He closed his eyes, his aura wasn't tough, and his hands were suddenly stuffed with a big organ. He softened even more, and he couldn't bear to let it go but also didn't dare to let it go. Chu Lan held his hand and masturbated with it. He felt a thousand times more pleasured than when he did it alone. He let out a muffled hum from his throat and smiled cheerfully: "I did it on purpose, Xi'er what do you think, how was I?" He bent down and pecked Xia Xi's lips, "Who told you to cram women around me indiscriminately?"
The quilt covering his body was torn away, and his naked white flesh was completely exposed once more. Chu Lan aimed at the reddish dots on his chest and began to stick out his tongue to enjoy it. Xia Xi moaned comfortably after being sucked and gasped, "S-she likes you. I can't conceive for you, you'll have other women sooner or later, I get along with her, of course I want to make her..."
Chu Lan bit his nipple hard, as if to punish him, "Why are you angry then? You should get used to it early on, my Queen." Chu Lan grabbed Xia Xi's hand and made it move up and down his shaft, he said mischievously: "Get used to the fact that I can kiss and hug others, and that your favourite cock would be inserted into other people's bodies, experiencing joy and sadness with other people, and leaving you vacant and alone."
It was the first time that Xia Xi heard such straightforward words from him. He felt sad, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. His chest felt heavy, and his eyes were red from the pain, he could only look at Chu Lan at loss. Chu Lan continued: "I'll embrace them and have sex with them. This cock will be used by many other people. Isn't that what you want to happen?"
Xia Xi felt that even breathing was subtly painful, he subconsciously said: "No..." Something in his heart broke through; breaking through layers of obstacles, and overwhelming the etiquette, morals, and concepts that he had lived by in the past. Broken, Xia Xi suddenly hugged Chu Lan tightly and whimpered: "No, no... no! The King is mine, you can't do it with other people, you can't kiss other people, can't hug other people..." He was trembling in panic, wanting to embed himself in the man's body then and there.
Chu Lan laughed happily, stroking his body with his big palm contentedly, enjoying it, he deliberately said: "Weren't you worried that you couldn't give birth to my flesh?"
Xia Xi sobbed: "I- I'll try my best to find a doctor to treat me. I'll try my best to do everything. Chu Lan, don't have children with others."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chu Lan didn't want to push him any further. He slowly stroked Xia Xi's back to comfort him, and waited for Xia Xi to calm down.
He whispered in his ear: "In fact, there's another way for you to heighten the chances of bearing my child."
Xia Xi was stunned, "What is it?"
Chu Lan said cheerfully: "Let me shoot inside you more!"
