Hua Hua You Long(bl)

Chapter 18 - Epilogue

In his head, Lu Cang's solid body supposed to be pressing close to him in the hot springs. And of course they would rub and grind at each other and had a sexual intercourse mood. The highly privileged His Majesty Emperor leaked out an unsightly impatient smile.

Leaving the Imperial guards to stay on guard, without losing his graceful, he hurriedly rushed to the back yard where Lu Cang's chamber located. But he was disappointed to find only Lu Cang's personal attendant, who constantly glued close to Lu Cang, Xiao Sang. He was in the middle of sorting out the clothing and supplies in the room.

"Where's the Lord?" Although his tone held the elegance and sophistication reserved for the Emperor, in truth Jing was gnashing his teeth in forbearance, patiently held in the raging flame of lust within his body.

Jing's murderous aura scared Xiao Sang so much that he jumped. Stupefied for a long while before he could muster up a greeting. "The Lord is in his study room receiving the messenger from Hangzhou."

Jing frowned with displeasure. Under his meticulous arrangement, he dispatched Lu Cang's formerly outlaw sworn brothers to hold the post as official in the southern area. Although regarding this matter, Lu Cang had wrangled fiercely against him, but in the end, with his still worried apprehension, Lu Cang had no choice but accepted his brothers' wishes to settle in the southern area.

Within these four to five years, although Lu Cang kept up his correspondence with his brothers, the distance between Jiangnan and Tongan was very far. Meeting each other every 3 months slowly changed to every 6, and then to only once a year. This year in March, Cao Xin already made use of his official report to the capital to visit Lu Cang. It hadn't been that long and yet, another person had come again. It really made Jing unable to help but anxious if something complicated would come out of this.

Pondering the situation, Jing already found himself standing in front of the study room's door. Not knocking at all, Jing directly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Inside, two men who had their back facing him jumped. The two faces that turned to face him at the same time looked unfamiliar. They weren't from the brothers that he had known well.

Perhaps it was because since long ago he already had accustomed to Jing's undeclared intrusion, Lu Cang was only a little startled, but quickly calmed down. Lu Cang had been the Marquis for 5 years. The passing years didn't leave any trace of hardship on his dashing face. Instead, the tip of his ripened eyebrows had matured his eyes and increasing his charm even more.

"Your Majesty." A calm voice but filled with respectful manner from Lu Cang. Once Jing heard this kind of tone, he came to understand that the visitors were really not Lu Cang's former acquaintances.

On the court, whether it was a private or a public occasion, Lu Cang would use this kind of not too close but not too distant tone to address Jing. Even he was fully aware that his and Jing's affairs since long ago had been the public secret, he still restrained himself to not overstep his authority in the presence of other people.

Facing with more matured and more sensible Lu Cang, Jing could not help but miss those years ago, that crying and running wild little mountain brigand Lu Cang. However, he understood that to continue to live in royal court, that kind of lawless Lu Cang was incapable of coping from the people words, which was even more dreadful than any regulation.

The conscience stricken caused Jing to be more and more doted on Lu Cang. Also, after he had severely punished several of high officials who dared to offend Lu Cang, hence majority of the officials sensibly recognized that by poking into the Emperor's personal matters could bring them closer to the doorstep and banished. Besides, with Lu Cang's restraining conduct, everybody could pretend that they didn't know about Lu Cang and Jing's relationship as well as turned a blind eye. The both of them never engaged in a huge conflict anymore, and had been living peacefully until now.

Jing nodded his head, then seated himself on an old fashioned wooden armchair by his side. The two visitors who had been gaping and dumbstruck finally came to their senses and hurriedly kneeled down and paid their respect. "Long Live Your Majesty."

Lu Cang introduced them, : "These two are merchants from Hangzhou. Second brother entrusted them to bring me the letter from Hangzhou." On the small table beside him, there was an unopened letter, looked like they were engaging in a chat so he had no time to open the letter.

Gloriously waved his hand signaling the two men to raise : whilst in his heart, he had been secretly wondering when will the time for them to leave so that he and Lu Cang could have their sexual intercourse.

Most likely, they could see His Majesty the Emperor's displeased expression, the never met with the highest figure merchants were frightened to the point they could only hurriedly bid Lu Cang farewell. In the end, it was when they were by the door and about to leave that they saw Jing's finally relaxed face.
