After being thoroughly violated, he ran away with the enemy emperor's child.

"Live well, no matter what happens, you must live on."

He bowed his head deeply, inhaling the lotus fragrance emanating from Chu Junci: "I admire you, I love you, and I want to see you well."

"I will live."

Chu Junci lowered his eyes. He had people he cared about and things he cared about. For these things, he would live on no matter what.

unless……

One day, when dignity is utterly trampled upon, and those you care about lose their lives, perhaps...

He will also lose hope of living.

"Stop being so mushy."

He nudged Mo Yan's chest. "Aren't you hungry?"

Chu Junci had been fasting for nearly three hours since he fell asleep at noon, and he was truly hungry.

"Tell them to serve the meal."

Mo Yan grasped Chu Junci's hand and kissed it: "I will feed you."

"unnecessary."

Previously, when Mo Yan forced him to eat, he could comfort himself by saying that he was blind. But now that he has regained his sight, what kind of situation is it to let Mo Yan feed him again?

"I enjoy feeding you."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I enjoy serving you."

Whether it's eating, dressing, or washing up, Mo Yan likes to help him.

Chu Junci, however, didn't like that; he preferred to rely on himself for everything.

After a moment of silence, he said bluntly, "But I don't like you serving me."

"Then who do you like to be served?" Mo Yan pressed.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: Could it be Chu Ling?

That vixen Chu Ling! She's like a persistent ghost!

Thinking of this, he wrapped his arms around Chu Junci's waist and gritted his teeth in his ear: "Now, the only one who can serve you is me."

"Whoever tries to take it from me, I'll kill them."

Chu Junci had no idea what he was imagining again, and pushed his head away: "I think you're quite ill."

"I am not sick."

"..."

Chu Junci didn't want to argue with him anymore, and said helplessly, "Mo Yan, I'm hungry."

Hearing him say he was hungry again, Mo Yan carried him off the bed and to the dining table.

The dishes were all Chu Junci's favorites. After glancing at them for a few moments, his stomach rumbled.

"Aci is so cute."

Holding the person in his arms, Mo Yan sat down in the seat and picked up a piece of meat, holding it to Chu Junci's lips: "Good boy, open your mouth."

The braised pork was a little greasy. Chu Junci frowned and turned his head away, saying, "Greasy."

"Um?"

Mo Yan asked in confusion, "Didn't you used to love eating this kind of meat the most?"

"I won't eat it."

Chu Junci didn't know why his tastes had suddenly changed. Looking at the oil on it and smelling the grease, he covered his nose and said, "Take it away."

Mo Yan obediently put the vegetables down, then picked up a few stalks of greens: "How about I eat these?"

"Um."

Chu Junci opened his mouth and swallowed the vegetables, then was "served" a bowl of rice. After the meal, he took a walk in circles in the palace.

Mo Yan looked at him amusedly, "Aci, come here."

Chu Junci, however, did not want to go over. He pretended not to hear and continued to walk slowly through the hall.

Aci wouldn't listen to him, so Mo Yan had no choice but to get up and stand behind him.

"Didn't I tell you to come over?" He pinched his cheek and rubbed his fingers.

"In the entire Zhao Kingdom, only you dare to disregard my orders like this."

Ironically, it was Mo Yan who spoiled her.

When they first met, Chu Junci was quite cautious towards him, and he dared to keep many of his grievances to himself.

But as they spent more time together, his Aci gradually became less afraid of him.

"You, Mo Ci, are so arrogant because you are favored by me. Just because I like you and pamper you, you don't take me seriously at all."

He touched his face, both amused and annoyed, and then touched his long hair, feeling like he couldn't get enough of it.

He pulled the man into his arms again, whispering softly, his lips brushing against the man's hair, "A-Ci..."

After a while, he released him: "I had several warm jades made for you."

"Warm jade?"

"Um."

Mo Yan said mysteriously, "You'll find out tomorrow."

The next day, Chu Junci did indeed find out. Looking at the warm jade in front of him, his face turned pale and then red, and he wished he could throw all of these things away.

Mo Yan, still taking credit, said, "The warm jade is just the right touch."

"..."

"Use this first..."

"Mo Yan!"

Chu Junci interrupted him: "You, you..."

Unable to think of a word to describe Mo Yan's actions, he picked up the plate, packed everything up, and threw it out the window: "If I ever see these again, Mo Yan, I'm not done with you!"

Seeing that Chu Junci was really angry, Mo Yan silently shut his mouth, and then coaxed in a low voice, "Okay, okay, don't be angry."

"It was my oversight that led to this."

With her back to him, Chu Junci felt once again that since meeting Mo Yan, her past calmness and indifference had vanished like smoke.

Mo Yan was sent by Heaven to bring him down!

After calming himself down, he sat down at the table, picked up a black piece with his fingertips, and placed it on the chessboard.

Then came the white pieces, the black pieces, the white pieces, the black pieces...

He retreated into his own world, and his mind returned to peace.

After taking a sip of tea, he heard Wu Xu's voice: "Your Majesty, General Fu requests an audience."

"Let him in."

Soon, General Fu stepped into the hall and the first thing he saw was Chu Junci in front of the chessboard.

He paused for a few seconds, then came to his senses: "Greetings, Your Majesty; Greetings, Prince Chen."

No need for formalities.

"General Fu, what urgent matter brings you here so late at night?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He took out a blueprint from his pocket and presented it to Mo Yan: "These are the blueprints for improving the crossbow."

"Previously, crossbows could only fire three arrows at a time, but after being modified according to the blueprints, they can fire ten arrows at once, that is, ten arrows fired simultaneously."

"Furthermore, the improved crossbow is more sensitive and faster. After firing ten arrows, it can quickly reload the next batch of arrows, making it a powerful weapon on the battlefield."

Mo Yan's gaze swept carefully over the blueprints, and he praised, "Not bad, everyone who participated in modifying the blueprints will be rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Based on these blueprints, have any actual products been manufactured?"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works has produced a batch of finished products today. If Your Majesty is free tomorrow, you may visit the training grounds to take a look."

"good!"

With good news coming one after another, Mo Yan was in a good mood: "Tomorrow, the Emperor and I will personally go to the training ground to see the modified crossbows."

"My dear minister, do not disappoint me and the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail in your trust."

General Fu's expression was serious, and he hesitated for a moment: "But..."

He glanced quickly at Chu Junci, but there were some things he didn't dare to say directly.

But Mo Yan already understood his meaning: "In the future, the Empress Chen will be the Empress of our Great Zhao, and her honor and disgrace will be one with mine."

"To see the Emperor is to see me as if I were the Emperor himself."

Upon hearing this, General Fu was deeply moved. After a moment of stunned silence, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go down."

Mo Yan gave the order, but unexpectedly General Fu brought up the matter of Yong again: "Your Majesty, regarding the attack on Yong..."

Mo Yan hurriedly interrupted him, glancing in Chu Junci's direction: "We'll discuss this matter another day."
