As Taehyung had expected, Ji jungkook raised a finger and said, "Didn't you ask me where I live? Over there, in the East Palace of the Forbidden City... "
It went without saying who lived in the East Palace of the Forbidden City. His man was the crown prince!
Afterward, Ji jungkook stared at his face.
Just from Taehyung's face, it seemed evident that he realized his identity as the Crown Prince. To the average person, this was not an ordinary thing. In addition, his moody temper was known to all. Whether the youth was afraid of him or not, he would know with just a glance.
The youth had appeared so suddenly, and was extremely beautiful, with a pleasant personality. Like a jade doll made personally for Ji jungkook
Growing up in an imperial palace full of intrigue, he had to be on guard at all times. But as he stared into the youth's eyes, he could not find it in his heart to put his guard up.
Later, the youth's eyes unexpectedly sparkled. "You're the Crown Prince, so can I be your crown prince consort?"
It took several minutes for Ji jungkook to process these words. Then he burst out laughing.
"Were men able to become crown prince consorts in the past?"
"Before, there were none, now there can be. The rules of the ancestors were set by people, and naturally they can be changed by people as well. Would you like to take me to the palace so I can accompany you?'
Taehyung did not seem to care, staring at Ji jungkook with a burning gaze.
Those passionate eyes stared at himself. As if there existed nothing else in the world but him.
Ji jungkook felt as if something hit his heart hard. Like thunder in winter, his mind growing blank and turbulent.
He took a deep breath. It took Ji jungkook much self-control to calm his heart. He reached out for the cup near the table, picked it up, and downed it to further calm himself.
"What are you drinking today? It smells different from before. Let me try..."
Look at him, Taehyung thought as laughed in his heart.
This grandfather has lived for hundreds of years. It's no problem to deal with a lover like you.
After that, he tilted his head back and drank the rest of his wine.
As Taehyung downed the spirits, a rouge-colored cloud broke out on his cheeks, his eyes misting as he turned his gaze around fluidly. It seemed as if he had the ability to drag people into his blurred world of seduction. So bewitching there was no antidote for
This scene made Ji jungkook find it hard to breathe. This youth always seduced him, eroding away at what had always been his cold and hard heart until it gradually turned soft.
"Does it taste good?"
Ji jungkook brushed some stray hair off Taehyung's forehead, his eyes revealing a tender love that he himself did not notice.
The imperial guard, who was still nearby, was shocked. This little master was definitely a deity. He could actually make the master show such a gentle expression!
Over the years, not once had they ever seen this expression on their master's face! Such a look was quite rare!
"The wine is better than the one last time, but still not as good as my own..." Taehyung narrowed his eyes and smiled, boasting in an extremely shameless manner.
Ji jungkook wasn't sure just how much he liked this look. Never had he thought someone would be able to make him lower his guard in such a short time or that he would let them get so close to him.
All of a sudden, knocks sounded at the door. "Reporting, the eldest master of the Fu family from Jun city has asked for an audience!" reported the imperial guard outside.
Jun City, Fu Family's eldest son? Fu Junli?
Both Taehyung and Ji jungkook were shocked at the same time. Ji jungkook had yet to speak. Taehyung quickly tried to climb off him, but Ji jungkook stopped him in his tracks, his eyes flashing dark.
"What are you doing? Afraid of being seen like this?"
Of course he was afraid! If Fu Junli caught them, this mission would be over! But judging by the other man's voice, he was angry. He hurried to plant a kiss on his cheek, whispering into Ji jungkook's ears, "For now, I don't want to let Fu Junli know that I love you."
"Why?" Ji jungkook's previously gentle face darkened all of a sudden, a dark emotion swirling in his eyes.
"I will explain it to you later. You just need to remember that if Fu Junli can't fall in love with Du Taehyung, Kim Taehyung will die..."
As soon as he heard the word "death," Ji jungkook held his breath. After hearing "Kim Taehyung will die," his chest ached unbearingly, as if something had torn through.
His gaze fell upon Taehyung for a while, before he let go.
Noticing Ji jungkook's emotions and actions, Taehyung inexplicably felt relieved and pleased. Although this man had no memory of the past, his shadow was marked into his soul.
"Let him enter..."
Taehyung gazed at him, eyes devoted and joyous. The gloom in Ji jungkook's heart vanished. Then he waved his hand, signifying for his imperial guard to let Fu Junli in.
"I greets crown prince. Just now, my brother was rude and angered you. Zigu apologizes on his behalf. It's no longer early. Please allow Zigu to bring his younger brother home..."
Zigu was Fu Junli's courtesy name, and the literati generally used this name.
As soon as he had entered the room, the man who usually gave off an elegant and indifferent impression showed a tense expression. And regardless of etiquette, he pulled Taehyung to his side, like a gesture of protection.
Such a situation shocked Taehyung. It was unimaginable. He thought Fu Junli was treating him like Lianzhi again.
After sighing with much difficulty, Taehyung looked at Ji jungkook. His eyes expressed the meaning that he was leaving.
Although Ji jungkook still seemed sweet, his mood had tanked in the blink of an eye. As Ji jungkook stared at Fu Junli, Taehyung felt his hand grow more and more sweaty. It were as if he couldn't wait to slice off the hand of the villain who dared to touch Taehyung.
Yet as Ji jungkook recalled Taehyung's previous words, he endured it and nodded. "Go..."
"Thank you Gongzi..." said Fu Junli immediately. He did not hesitate in taking Taehyung away.
Ji jungkook gaze grew even more gloomy.
It wasn't until when Taehyung reached the doorway, turned around suddenly, flashed him a smile, and mouthed a "goodbye," that Ji jungkook's chilly expression subsided and his gloomy gaze eased.
"Go investigate! I want to know all of the Fu family's matters, especially Fu Junli's!"
Once the other person had left, ji jungkook still recalled Taehyung's words, about the circumstances that would lead to his death.
