Chapter 98 - Feng Long is tired

 

As agreed, Yu Lexuan met Zhang Yi in his lab in the morning. The day started sunny but then quickly became overcast. Zhang Yi had to carry a heavier load of containers than usual, so Yu Lexuan helped him to load the cart they would use, this time, a bigger one.

A while later, Feng Long wakes up. The previous day was terrible, so he ended up having only a couple of hours of sleep. He gets up and feels very dizzy. It took him several minutes to get up and dress.

Passing in the hallway, Zhong Kunyi notices Feng long feels tired. He enters his bedroom without much warning:

-Greetings to your majesty. - He bows to Feng Long.

Feng Long smiles and helps him to rise:

-Good morning, Zhong Kunyi...

-I see that your majesty is feeling a bit tired... Are you ok?

-Yes, I think it has something to do about what happened yesterday... It was so stressful for me.

-I can understand... Please, your majesty, let me help you a bit.

-You can.

Feng Long brings one arm over Zhong Kunyi's shoulder, and he assists him in walking. Feng Long and he moved down to the square. Yu Lexuan and Zhang Yi are almost ready to depart;

-The last time you traveled to Lishui, it took the best part of two days. How long do you think it will take now, Zhang Yi?

-It may or may not take that long. There is a new place we can visit. 

-A new city?

-Yes, Xianju. It is slightly farther away than Lishui, but I heard about some different components and herbs we can get there.

-That's great, Zhang Yi! - Yu Lexuan smiles.

-Let's hope these new formulae work better. 

Feng Long and Zhong Kunyi arrive. Yu Lexuan immediately notices Feng Long seems weak and runs towards him. Zhang Yi also moves closer:

-Feng Long, what happened!!! Please tell me!!! Are you ok? - Yu Lexuan caresses him gently.

-I'm ok, just a bit tired... I couldn't sleep properly due to the stressful time we'd yesterday.

Zhang Yi kneels to him:

-Your Majesty, I and your Highness will look for better medicine. We will spend about two days or more. I heard about a new herb some time ago that might help us, among other new components.

Feng Long gently detaches from Zhong Kunyi's arms, walking towards Zhang Yi, helping him to rise:

-Please, rise... I'm so happy with your dedication. I wish you luck, and please, keep Yu Lexuan warm and thrilled as you've done with me.

 -I can assure your majesty heat will never be a problem... - Zhang Yi blushes.

-Your majesty can rest assured we will get back with what we want. - Yu Lexuan smiles.

-Perfect. Well, I think that's all. Have a safe trip, and please, take care. I'll miss you...

-Each time you feel I'm far away, just think about me. I'll always be close to you, Feng Long. - Yu Lexuan smiles.

-I can feel you at a distance.

Feng Long kisses Yu Lexuan and Zhang Yi. Both get on the carriage, and Yu Lexuan guides it this time. Feng Long and Zhong Kunyi watch the carriage moving away from the palace while it starts to drizzle:

-Feng Long, let's move into the palace. This rain may or may not intensify soon. 

-As you wish.

Again, Feng Long feels very tired. Zhong Kunyi helps him again:

-Your majesty, please... Let's move to the bed. You have to take some sleep.

-I can't... It is daytime, and I'll not sleep easily.

-I can help your majesty.

-I think this might not work.

-Let me try.

Zhong Kunyi allows Feng Long to sit on his bed, then takes a cotton sash and turns it into a blindfold. Feng Long smiles:

-That's actually a good idea.

-I hope this will suffice. But I'll also stay close to your majesty.

-I'll love it.

Zhong Kunyi closes all the windows and doors of the room, so it gets a bit darker. He returns to the bed and lies over Feng Long:

-Your majesty is too worried... Please, take a nap.

-Things get better with you.

-How can it be?

-Your heat makes me feel so good.

Zhong Kunyi kisses Feng Long deeply, gently rubbing himself against him. Feng Long puts both hands on his lower back, gently pressing it. Zhong Kunyi blushes, then move to the side:

-Your majesty is so loving and warm... 

-I can only behave in such a way because you all keep me motivated to love you more.

-This is positive feedback... - Zhong Kunyi smiles.

-Ah Zhong Kunyi... The economy comes second... I have you love.

Despite the increasing heat between them, Feng Long was too tired. He slowly closes his eyes, smiling. Zhong Kunyi hugs Feng Long, resting his head close to him, almost kissing his shoulder, and also sleeping moments later.
