201 BECO THE NEXT EMPEROR
In his previous life, he was the one who used to talk sweetly to his girlfriend a lot, but the purpose behind the sweet words he said to his girlfriend was to get what he wanted from her.
Just like what happened when he ended up dying after trying to score in his girlfriend’s goal post a month ago. Back then, he just wanted to have sex, and that was why he kept saying sweet words to his girlfriend.
Now that he had transmigrated to this world, he wasn’t the one to say sweet words often, but it was he who ended up taking his girlfriend’s place to feel embarrassed and blush so hard after he heard soone say sothing sweet to him.
Yes, when Zhu Ge suddenly said sothing sweet to him, he couldn’t help but blush, and that was why he imdiately thought that karma did exist.
‘Even if it was a man who said sothing like that to , I still feel embarrassed, but at the sa ti, I also feel happy. I even felt that my worries suddenly disappeared from my heart the mont I heard those words leave Zhu Ge’s lips,’ Bai Chen thought to himself, and even if what he was thinking would definitely sound cheap if he voiced it out, he did think that he felt at ease after hearing Zhu Ge’s words.
Not wanting the other man to read how he felt, Bai Chen cleared his throat awkwardly as he took his eyes off the taller man. “Don’t talk about death,” he said without looking at the man wearing the red clothes.
Even if Bai Chen tried to cover up his embarrassnt, Zhu Ge could probably see his feelings, and that was why the young servant smirked at the Prince before saying, “Alright. Let’s not talk about death anymore. After all, I can see that you’re still sad over your brother’s death.”
Zhu Ge was the one who had co to him to the Zuigao Hall to see how Bai Renshu had hanged himself from the ceiling of the hall. Back then, Zhu Ge witnessed how shocked he was when he saw the Crown Prince commit suicide after losing his secret lover, and today the man in red also noticed how Bai Chen looked pale after attending Bai Renshu’s funeral.
Bai Chen did look pale and disheveled, but that was because of the complicated things he had in his head, but he assud that he probably didn’t need to tell the taller man the truth.
.....
“The Emperor of Dong Lang forbade anyone in the Rongyao Imperial Palace from leaving the palace for three days, right? Does that rule apply to your palace as well?” Suddenly, Zhu Ge was talking about a different topic, but it was enough to make Bai Chen’s blue eyes stare at the older man again.
“Yes,” the brown-haired Prince answered the question. “Even if I’m just an unwanted Prince of this empire, I’m still a part of the Imperial Palace, and that’s why everyone in my palace also cannot leave Dong Lang for a period of three days. That’s the rule stated by the Emperor.”
“Hearing you say that you are just an unwanted Prince sounds sad. Don’t say that again when you are with ,” Zhu Ge was only a servant here, but he dared to command the Prince, and this caused the young Prince to frown at the taller man.
“I just stated a fact,” Bai Chen replied. “I’m just a concubine’s son, and that concubine has even ruined the Emperor’s happy life with the Empress and his son. It’s a fact that I’m just an unwanted son in this place, right?”
Bai Chen once again frowned, and Zhu Ge used his index finger to smooth the crease on the man’s forehead. “You are not happy because you are just an unwanted child? I can always take you out of this empire if you’re not happy here,” he said after pulling his hand from Bai Chen’s forehead.
Just like what he said to Bai Chen when they first t each other, Zhu Ge still didn’t like seeing how Bai Chen was frowning. And if he had the chance, he would scold the younger man for frowning too much.
However, he did not scold the Prince today, and he directly helped the Prince to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead.
Even if Bai Chen didn’t say anything, he imdiately stopped frowning at the other man, and he was sohow happy because of what that man had just done to him.
“You will take to the Wu Li Empire if I’m not happy here?” Bai Chen asked the man. “Can you guarantee that I will be happier if I stay at Wu Li?”
“...” This ti, Zhu Ge couldn’t answer Bai Chen’s question.
Unexpectedly, the man in red suddenly furrowed his brows, and it brought with it a few wrinkles on his forehead that looked a little ugly in Bai Chen’s eyes. Sighing to himself, Bai Chen then stretched out his hand and used his index finger to smooth out the crease just like what Zhu Ge had just done to him earlier.
“You don’t need to think about it seriously,” Bai Chen said. “I know your situation, and I won’t force you to give a happy life even if you have to take to Wu Li. More importantly, I also have no plans to leave this place, so you don’t have to worry about .”
Bai Chen had pulled his hand away from Zhu Ge’s forehead, and now the taller man no longer furrowed his brows as he asked, “You still want to stay here even if you’re not happy? Why don’t you want to change your mind?”
The Werewolf Prince didn’t imdiately answer the question, and instead, he looked like he was seriously considering how he should answer the man’s question.
After thinking for a mont, Bai Chen finally opened his mouth to reply, “I don’t want to leave this place because I want to be the next Emperor here.”
