The two drops of blood spun twice in the water. Just as everyone was wondering whether the method would work out or not, the two blood drops suddenly merged. Everyone took a gasp.

“It’s said that blood ties are strong. It seems true.” Du Chuxuan behaved like he didn’t know it before and gave Shan Zhongli a very lovable smile, “So Lord Shan, I think you knew you’re not the son of Duke Ningyuan very long ago. How many others know it?”

If Shan Zhongli only found someone to save himself, it would be merely a misdoing of disobeying the commander’s order. However, he was faced with a severer charge when he summoned over this Wulin person. Now, with this secret coming to light, he could no longer deny even if he had a hundred tongues.

The assassin was dumbfounded too. He turned to glance at Shan Zhongli and saw his eyes fixed on him full of resentment. For a time, the hitmen felt nothing but bitter and planned to commit suicide by biting off his tongue, but when he moved his mouth, he found he didn’t have the strength to do that.

Du Chuxuan certainly noticed his movement and arched his lips, “Stop wasting your energy in that. Since so many serious things are ferreted out, the case will be handed to the Dali Temple for further procedures. When you’re escorted back to the capital, there will be people taking care of you.

“As for you, I guess, you won’t have much strength before you arrive in the capital.” He clapped off the dust on his hands that were dirty from pinching the token and stared at Yuxing Tianrui, waiting for praise.

Stared by his intent eyes, Yuxing Tianrui was a little shy but understood that he should give him a carrot at this time, “My Princess has handled this matter properly. When we return, I’ll report to father and reward you according to your merits.”

This was equal to confirmation of Du Chuxuan’s statement and leaving no time for Shan Zhongli to defend himself. Ada took a look at Shan Zhongli, who became drawn under his suppression, and with a passing impatience in his eyes, threw the two people back into the tent. Then, he told the guards to keep an eye on them and followed Yuxing Tianrui to leave the place.

The Army set off to return to the capital with a lively fanfare. However, Yuxing Tianrui understood that the war wouldn’t have drawn to an end so soon if it hadn’t been the Turkic Imperial Family that had pulled Ashina Yi behind.

He left half of the army in the barracks and designated the power to General Leng along with a decree that if the enemy dared to invade again, he had the power to resist the enemy in time before report to the court first.

General Leng almost cried in joy with this decree. Although he couldn’t go back with Yuxing Tianrui to receive reward now, but on the other side of the coin, Yuxing Tianrui was granting him an opportunity for a greater military merit. How could him not be happy?

The journey returning was harder than setting off. In order to reach the capital city sooner, Yuxing Tianrui ordered the injured soldiers to slow down the march, and he, with Du Chuxuan and his close guards, headed for the capital at the highest speed. Du Chuxuan suffered a lot along the way.

Although this wasn’t the first time he rode a horse, the long trip on horseback made his inner thighs sore from rubbing. Later, the sore flesh directly turned red, making people feel sorry for him.

Receiving Du Chuxuan’s blaming eyes, Yuxing Tianrui felt a little embarrassed, “I thought you were a martial cultivator and couldn’t be this fragile.” He coughed, handed Du Chuxuan the medicine, and turned to leave as if he was avoiding something that he shouldn’t see.

How could Du Chuxuan miss out this opportunity and caught him immediately, “What are you talking about, Your Highness? Everyone is born human. I’m also made of tender flesh.” He rolled his eyes in thinking and came up with an idea, “Since Your Highness is my husband, I don’t think I need to bother the doctor to apply the medicine for me do I?”

Hearing the words, Yuxing Tianrui turned back to give him a glare. But at the sight of Du Chuxuan’s red swollen eyes, he instantly recalled the days in the mountain cave, and somehow, the words stuck in his throat. Judging from his expression, Du Chuxuan knew his idea worked out. It seemed the happy days were around the corner.

But the next second, Yuxing Tianrui’s reaction shocked him, “Dongxiang will follow you all the time in the future. Why not tell him your true gender now so that he can get used to it early?”

After saying that, Yuxing Tianrui tried to rid of his hug, but unexpectedly, Du Chuxuan tightly locked him in his arms and made him unable to move. Judging from the power holding him, Yuxing Tianrui could tell that this man didn’t need to apply medicine at all. He was more than well.

“What do you mean? Are you saying you will abandon me when we get back to the capital?” A flash of displeasure crossed Du Chuxuan’s eyes but he quickly concealed it well. Therefore, Yuxing Tianrui only thought he was playing with him and reached out to push him away.

However, Du Chuxuan wouldn’t let him go. The boy always looked solemn and serious and couldn’t bear being teased. In one moment of chaffing, his face would flush scarlet. His skin was truly thinner than that of a maiden.

Du Chuxuan gave a small sigh, locking the boy in his arms and lifting his chin with the other hand, “Are you saying you’re cutting off with me in the future?”

Hearing the words, Yuxing Tianrui subconsciously shook his head. Before he said anything, Du Chuxuan interrupted, giving him no chance to explain.

“Since Your Highness doesn’t have the mind to abandon me, then why are you unwilling to stay close to me? It’s been so long, and you still don’t think it through?”

Du Chuxuan sighed softly, but it fell heavily on Yuxing Tianrui’s heart. He looked up at Du Chuxuan’s pretty face and couldn’t help feeling bitter. Such a good man, if not tangled with him, would surely marry a good wife from a good family and enjoy a lifetime’s freedom without any bonds.

If he really chose to stay with him, then he could only live on in the identity of his sister and would never have the chance to be himself, a man. How could Yuxing Tianrui bring himself to ask this question? He was afraid any man wouldn’t want that. Moreover, he already felt reluctant to let him go.

Du Chuxuan carefully regarded his little prince’s expression and understood everything when he saw the misgivings between his brows. At once, he bowed down and pressed a kiss on the boy’s red lips. The moment their lips met, he saw Yuxing Tianrui’s widely open eyes and finally smiled.
