Chapter 263 The way you act is clearly an invitation, not a rejection.
As night falls, the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City gleam with a mysterious and profound luster in the last rays of sunset.
In a corner of the city, the flickering candlelight in the study illuminates two equally handsome faces, one cold and one hot, interweaving a secret emotion.
"Achen, this dress seems a bit too formal for you."
The person who spoke was the powerful regent of the current dynasty, Yun Che.
He raised his hand slightly, and his fingertips gently brushed across the waist of the leader of the secret guards beside him - Mo Chen. There, the jade belt that bound his clothes seemed to make him feel a little uncomfortable.
Mo Chen's body stiffened slightly, then quickly returned to normal, but the barely perceptible tremor spread like ripples in his heart.
Every subtle movement of Yun Che was like a spring breeze caressing his face, stirring up the lake of his heart and causing his breathing to quicken.
"Your Highness, your subordinates..."
Mo Chen hesitated to speak, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, a mixture of helplessness about his identity and struggle with this forbidden love.
Yun Che seemed to see through his thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, enough to melt all the frost in the world.
"You look like this, which makes it even harder for me to let go."
After saying that, he suddenly exerted force, picked up Mo Chen lightly, took a few steps to the large desk, and put him down steadily.
The two looked at each other, and Yun Che's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
"You're clearly inviting me, not rejecting me."
His voice was low and magnetic, and every word struck Mo Chen's heart.
"But it's still early. Didn't Your Highness say..."
Mo Chen tried to remind him, but before he could finish his words, Yun Che sealed his lips with a sudden kiss.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to stand still, with only two hearts beating violently and blending with each other.
The documents on the desk shook slightly due to the movements of the two people, and the memorials scattered on the ground were as chaotic as their confused minds, disorganized.
But in this chaos, there is an indescribable sweetness and peace quietly growing.
......
Two hours might pass in a flash for ordinary people, but for Yun Che and Mo Chen, it was a long and precious time.
They know very well that this emotion cannot be exposed to the public, and every gathering is like stolen happiness and must be cherished.
"Achen, take a bath with me."
Yun Che's voice was so gentle that it could drip water. He gently stroked Mo Chen's face, his eyes filled with tenderness and sweetness.
Mo Chen's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard this, but he did not refuse and silently followed Yun Che into the inner room.
In the steaming hot bath, the two sat side by side. The mist blurred each other's outlines, but also made this intimacy seem more real.
Yun Che's fingers gently slid across Mo Chen's skin in the water, and every touch triggered waves of electricity, causing Mo Chen to tremble uncontrollably.
"Your Highness..."
Mo Chen's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness.
Yun Che chuckled and pulled him closer, their bodies pressed tightly together, as if they were about to merge into one.
"Don't be afraid, Achen, we are the only ones here."
After the bath, Mo Chen carefully changed Yun Che's clothes. His fingers gently brushed over the marks on Yun Che's neck that were accidentally left by his passion, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He carefully covered them with clothes, fearing that these marks would become a stain on Yun Che's identity and reputation in the future.
"Achen, you are always so attentive."
Yun Che looked at Mo Chen's focused expression and was deeply moved.
He knew that although Mo Chen was a secret guard, he had a deep affection and loyalty for him that went beyond his duties, and he cherished this affection as well.
"Your Highness, you must leave for the outskirts of Beijing before midnight. Time is running out."
Mo Chen reminded him that even though he was extremely reluctant, he was even more unwilling to delay Yun Che's important matter because of his personal feelings.
Yun Che nodded, his eyes deep.
"I know, but before that, I want to ask you again, Achen, are you willing to spend the rest of my life with me, no matter the storm?"
When Mo Chen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by endless joy.
He knelt down in front of Yun Che, clenched his hands into fists, and spoke in a firm and powerful voice:
"I, Mo Chen, swear to follow Your Highness till death, regardless of life or death, and will never betray him."
Yun Che reached out and helped him up. The two of them smiled at each other. No need for words, everything was said without words.
They knew that this road was destined to be difficult, but as long as they relied on each other, they would not be afraid.
As the night deepened, Yun Che changed into his night clothes and prepared to go to the outskirts of Beijing to deal with urgent matters.
Mo Chen followed behind him silently, like a shadow, silent but firm.
Before leaving, Yun Che stopped and turned to look at Mo Chen, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Achen, wait for me to come back."
He said softly, his tone full of tenderness and determination.
Mo Chen nodded, his eyes flashing with trust and expectation.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will be waiting for you here."
Under the moonlight, Yun Che's figure gradually walked away and disappeared into the darkness.
Mo Chen stood quietly where he was, staring at the direction where Yun Che left, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew that Yun Che's fate was uncertain, but he firmly believed that Yun Che would return safely.
The waiting time always seems to be extraordinarily long. Mo Chen paced back and forth in the room, his heart filled with anxiety.
Finally, there was a slight noise outside the door. Mo Chen immediately rushed to the door and opened it.
Yun Che was seen standing outside the door with a tired look on his face, and some blood on his body.
Mo Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly supported Yun Che and asked with concern:
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Yun Che shook his head and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, just some minor injuries."
Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and helped Yun Che into the room.
Yun Che sat on the chair, looking at Mo Chen with eyes full of affection.
"Achen, after this matter is resolved, I want to take you away from here and live our own lives."
Yun Che said slowly.
Mo Chen's eyes lit up, he nodded and said:
"I am willing to follow Your Highness, wherever he goes, until death."
Yun Che smiled, he held Mo Chen's hand and said:
"Okay, then let us create our own future together."
On this quiet night, Yun Che and Mo Chen made a promise to each other. Their future was full of unknowns, but their love was like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating each other's way forward.
