The Perfect Destiny

Chapter 24

Handsome Broken Legged Little Military Advisor [11]

This one ’day’ lasted the entire night.

When Chen Liguo woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky. Laying in bed, he opened his eyes and found Yan Jingyi sleeping beside him.

The seventeen-year-old Yan Jingyi still hadn’t fully developed yet, but was still very beautiful with a high nose, sexy lips, and long lashes. Chen Liguo couldn’t resist reaching out and lightly felt those brush-like eyelashes.

As a martial arts practitioner, Yan Jingyi was very sensitive to his surroundings. After being touched, he immediately opened his eyes that still had some drowsiness in them and saw Chen Liguo nearby. Yan Jingyi moved closer, kissed Chen Liguo’s forehead, and said lazily, "Morning."

Chen Liguo was shocked by Yan Jingyi’s action and inexplicably thought of the previous world’s Ran Qingkong......

The sleepiness in Yan Jingyi’s eyes faded quickly. He lay on his side and propped his chin up with a hand, looking at Chen Liguo, he said, "Did Lord Ji sleep well?"

Chen Liguo didn’t speak.

Yan Jingyi smiled, seemingly not caring about Chen Liguo’s silence and said, “Lord Ji, I have to go out again. You’ll be alone in the Imperial Palace, make sure to take care of yourself.

Chen Liguo said, "Expedition?"

Yan Jingyi nodded, "Emperor father has given military orders."

Chen Liguo sighed softly, his heart actually produced a feeling of unbearableness, if Yan Jingyi leaves, then he’ll no longer have a fuck buddy.

Yan Jingyi was not aware of Chen Liguo’s rueful mood at this time. He sat up on the bed and began to put on his clothes one by one.

It was only then that Chen Liguo noticed, Yan Jingyi had a very ferocious wound on his back. This wound almost ran across the entire back, looking as though it split Yan Jingyi in two.

After Yan Jingyi puts his clothes on, he helped Chen Liguo put on his. He looked at the obvious red marks on Chen Liguo’s white body and laughed evilly^[1]: “Lord Ji, you must take care of your body, by any means, it must not be touched by other people.”

Chen Liguo’s face flushed with shame and anger, and he said, “Third Prince, please watch how you conduct yourself.”

Yan Jingyi’s smile was still gentle and soft. He touched Chen Liguo’s cheek and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Chen Liguo evaded his hand, not speaking.

Yan Jingyi seemed a little disappointed, but only for a moment. He knows that he and the person before him, were never together through mutual consent, it was all forced by him.

Chen Liguo was carried to the wheelchair. Yan Jingyi looked at his face and said, "Lord Ji, it seems you’ve gotten thinner again."

Chen Liguo: "......" Because I vomit blood the moment I eat meat.

Yan Jingyi said, "You have to properly take good care of your health."

Chen Liguo did not continue the conversation and simply said, "Send me back."

Yan Jingyi beamed and said ’yes’, pushing Chen Liguo upon an already prepared carriage.

The entire way, Yan Jingyi chatted with Chen Liguo, although most of the time, it was him talking to himself.

When they arrived at the Ji Manor entranceway, Yan Jingyi still wanted to send Chen Liguo through the threshold, but he was coldly refused by Chen Liguo.

Yan Jingyi laughed and said, "Lord Ji is still angry with me?”

Chen Liguo looked at Yan Jingyi with a profound look, "Your Highness, your purpose had already been reached, why do you still come and make things difficult for me?"

Yan Jingyi’s smile froze, then immediately cooled down in an instant.

Chen Liguo said, "I, Ji Shang, am not very clever, but not very stupid."

Yan Jingyi said lightly, "Milord is joking, in this imperial palace, who doesn’t know that Ji Shang is extremely smart."

Chen Liguo said, "Be my guest, Third Prince." When he finished, he turned around and never looked back.

Yan Jingyi looked at Chen Liguo’s back, the hand hanging at his side clenched in a death grip.

When Lord Ji, Ji Shang, was taken away by the Third Prince after being scolded by the Second Prince for a day, it was even more believed that he really did choose another master.

In Ji Shang’s case, the Second Prince was practically digging his own grave which made the people in his faction feel a little chilly.

However, the Third Prince didn’t only devote himself to Chen Liguo alone and the number of people he planned on pulling over was not small.

After this matter occurred, it was not long before the Third Prince set out for another expedition. This time he did not take Chen Liguo, nor did there seem to have any intention to bid farewell to Chen Liguo.

Chen Liguo still ate as he should every day and slept as he should. Except for being unable to eat meat and not having sex, everything was perfect.

This time, Yan Jingyi’s target was the Yan Country’s smallest neighboring country. If there is no error in the world trajectory, in less than three years, Yan Country’s iron hooves would run over that country, and the imperial family of that country would be treated as war spoils and taken back to the Yan Country.

Chen Liguo was already accustomed to waiting for long periods of time in every world.

In fact, he doesn’t hate this sort of ’garbage time’^[2]——how many people could be like him and not have any psychological burdens when idling away their time?

Chen Liguo has always been a very open-minded person.

Three years of time, it’s not too long to call long, not too short to call short.

The originally twelve-year-old Yan Zhiyao reached the marriageable age. Furthermore, Yan Jingyi’s crowning ceremony was also carried out in the military.

Chen Liguo’s health was still very bad, but no matter how bad it was, there’s still a long way to go before he dies.

Even more, Yan Zhiyao’s fate began to show some slight deviations, she liked a person—a handsome imperial bodyguard.

That imperial bodyguard also had some feelings for Yan Zhiyao, but he understood his own status very well, so he didn’t dare make a move.

In the past few years, Chen Liguo had helped Yan Zhiyao take care of all sorts of things. At first, Yan Zhiyao was initially suspicious of Chen Liguo but later found out that it really was for her own good, so she dropped his guard.

Yan Zhiyao told Chen Liguo of this matter of her liking the imperial bodyguard when Chen Liguo found an opportunity to go into the palace and give her some silver.

Chen Liguo finished listening, he asked, "Do you really like him?"

Yan Zhiyao nodded slowly with a red face.

Chen Liguo said, "Then does he like you?"

Yan Zhiyao’s face became even redder and she whispered an ’en’.

At the age of fifteen, Yan Zhiyao is still an immature child in Chen Liguo’s eyes. He said tenderly, “You are still young.”

"I’m not small anymore." Yan Zhiyao retorted angrily, "I’m already fifteen years old."

Chen Liguo smiled and didn’t talk.

Yan Zhiyao said, “I like a person. Can I be with him?”

Chen Liguo said, “It depends on what sort of person you like.”

Yan Zhiyao said, “Then for an example, an imperial bodyguard?”

Chen Liguo looked at Yan Zhiyao’s destiny completion bar which had only risen ten points in the past three years and said slowly, "The chances are small."

Yan Zhiyao bit her lips, unresigned.

Chen Liguo said, "But that’s not to say that there isn’t a chance either."

Yan Zhiyao’s expression was still as lost as before. She said, "Why am I a princess?"

Chen Liguo touched her head and said, “There’s nothing wrong with being a princess.”

Yan Zhiyao shook her head and didn’t talk. Compared with a few years ago, her body began to develop and she began to change from a girl to a mature woman.

Because she was not favored no one cared about her, so it was convenient for Chen Liguo to meet her.

When Chen Liguo returned home, his little servant, Le Qi, pretended to ask intentionally, "Milord has gone to the imperial palace again?"

Chen Liguo knows that Le Qi is Yan Jingyi’s spy. In the past few years, Yan Jingyi hasn’t contacted him, he didn’t know if this spy still had any use.

Chen Liguo hummed in response and turned over the page of his book.

"Why does Milord pay so much attention to that princess Huige^[3]?" Le Qi muttered, "It can’t be that Milord really has taken a fancy to her?"

Chen Liguo slammed the book away and said, "Even if I’ve taken a fancy, what of it?"

Le Qi’s eyes widened, seemingly shocked by Chen Liguo’s remark.

Chen Liguo said, "Go bring me a cup of hot tea."

Le Qi lowered his head and went out.

Not long after, Chen Liguo drank the hot tea brought by Le Qi. He pursed his lips and said, "Le Qi, you’re not too young anymore. Have you ever thought about marrying a wife and having children?"

Le Qi was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Chen Liguo meant. He cried out loudly, "Milord, you don’t want me anymore?!"

Chen Liguo said, “Who said I don’t want you anymore? Could it be that once you marry and have children you’re going to leave my residence?"

It was only then that Le Qi let his heart be at ease. He said, "No, I don’t have anybody that I like."

Chen Liguo nodded, "If you ever do, let me know, I will preside over it for you."

Le Qi nodded happily and said, "Milord, I just knew that you are the one who treats me the best."

Chen Liguo said in his heart: I treat you so well and yet you still sold me to Yan Jingyi.

Chen Liguo thought that his peaceful like would last until Yan Jingyi returned, but what he didn’t expect was for an accident to happen.

Less than three days after Chen Liguo visited Yan Zhiyao, Yan Zhiyao suddenly sent someone to send him a letter, asking him to go to the palace immediately as there was an important matter that needed to be discussed,

Chen Liguo immediately went to the palace to find Yan Zhiyao without delay, but he did not expect that when Yan Zhiyao to saw him, the first sentence she uttered would make Chen Liguo’s heart sink. Yan Zhiyao said, “Lord Ji, my Emperor father is dying.”

Chen Liguo heard this and was shocked in his heart: “What happened?”

Yan Zhiyao said, “In the past few days Emperor father has not gone to court, Lord Ji should know of this matter?"

Chen Liguo nodded.

Yan Zhiyao said, “It’s like my father suddenly fell ill... When the Second Prince found out about this matter, he wanted to suppress it."

Chen Liguo pondered, the turn of events wasn’t too good, if the Second Prince ascended the throne, it was estimated that he and Yan Zhiyao would fall on hard times.

Chen Liguo said, “Are you sure this is true?”

Yan Zhiyao looked shy and said, “That imperial bodyguard...” That imperial bodyguard could be presumed to have become Yan Zhiyao’s sweetheart.

Yan Zhiyao said, “He came in a hurry and he said... said that there was going to be some radical changes in the palace and that I should be careful."

Chen Liguo nodded and said, “I see. In the next few days, stay in your chambers. You must not wander around.”

Yan Zhiyao said a ’yes’ and Chen Liguo bid farewell.

When Chen Liguo was about to exit the door, Yan Zhiyao suddenly said, "Lord Ji."

Chen Liguo turned his head.

Yan Zhiyao said, "Lord Ji...... we, will we die?"

Chen Liguo smiled and said, "Royal Princess, with me here, we will all live well."

When Yan Zhiyao heard this, the panic in her heart suddenly calmed down, and the person in front of her was the one who pulled her out of the mire. No matter what he says, she would believe.
