Late at night, the dark and gloomy world seemed like a slumbering behemoth, ready to awaken at any moment. The streets and houses were shrouded in silence, with only the chirping of insects breaking the stillness.

In the inn, on a spacious bed, a man opened his deep and mysterious eyes. He turned his head and saw the peaceful face of a young man who was sleeping. He gazed softly at him for a long while, then quietly got out of bed. He pushed open the window and leaped into the deep mountains.

He stood next to the scattered human bones, his black coat tails fluttering in the wind. Squatting down, he picked up the book that caused extreme fear in youths.

The Great Bloodsucking Technique.

In the Jianghu and the imperial court, there is no one who doesn't know what these four characters represent. Several years ago, the leader of the Demon Cult, Shen Junren, created the Bloodsucking Divine Technique, causing chaos and countless deaths in both the Jianghu and the imperial court. All of this was because of the book he held in his hands at this very moment.

Du Yang loved Hua Jia Yu deeply. He carefully planned every step to win over this person's body and heart. However, he also knew that with his current abilities, even if he succeeded, he wouldn't be able to protect them.

Hua Yan knew about their relationship. In all the world, there is no place that wouldn't be ruled by the king. Even if he tried to escape, in the end, he would definitely die.

Hua Yan did not know that when Hua Jiayu ascended the throne, the courtiers would pressure him to marry and have children for the sake of a successor. He belonged to Hua Jiayu, even in death, he would not allow himself to watch him be with someone else. Therefore, regardless of the outcome, they would not be together.

Now, it's not necessarily the case.

Dou Yang laughed happily.

Three months flew by in the blink of an eye. Tired of Hangzhou, Hua Jiayu made up his mind to move on to the next destination.

There are very few inns outside the city, so most of the time the two of them have to sleep outdoors. On this night, after Hua Jiayu finished eating roasted fish and was about to go to sleep, Dou Yang suddenly lifted him from behind and threw him into the carriage.

The carriage was lined with a blanket, which was not uncomfortable, but...

Hua Jiayu was shocked and screamed: "Duo Yang, this is not good outside!"

Du Yang grabbed his foot and pressed it against his body, enduring for more than ten days. Even if it was impossible, he had to make it possible.

The carriage swayed, occasionally accompanied by sounds resembling a cat's moaning and crying. A sour-looking man in a green robe walked by, covering his face and disdainfully muttering, "The world has truly gone downhill, lacking any sense of shame!"

Flower Jiayu, shamelessly, grabbed Yang's waist and cried out in pain, repeatedly saying, "Ouch, ouch, ouch."

On the second day, as the carriage passed by a small tea stall, Huajiayu, with his swollen red eyes, was helped down from the carriage by Duyang to have a cup of tea. At that moment, a young man in a green shirt who was drinking tea noticed his arrival and paused.

Du Yang noticed, and as a cold gaze swept over him, the man's heart lurched and he quickly averted his gaze, but his face turned slightly pale.

He is Zhou Ming, a student of the Minister of Revenue.

It is widely known in both the court and the public that the Ministry of Revenue is now under the control of the Fifth Prince, Huacheng. Therefore, the Minister of Revenue is also a person chosen by the Fifth Prince.

Zhou Ming had met the Sixth Prince before, so when he discovered the relationship between Dou Yang and Hua Jiayu, he was extremely shocked. Without hesitation, he immediately rushed to the capital to inform Hua Cheng about this news.

Hua Yan has doted on Hua Jiayu for more than ten years, while others may not be aware, but Hua Cheng is well aware in his heart.

During the time when the crown prince position was being contested, Hua Jiayu not only left the capital, but also had Hua Yanzhun's permission to accompany him. If anyone were to say there was no hidden motive behind all this, he would never believe it.

Then, Huacheng struggles to deliver this news to Huayan.

Hua Yan became extremely angry upon hearing the news. For the first time in front of Hua Cheng, he slammed the table and his face twisted with a menacing look as he shouted at the hidden guards, "Summon Prince Liu and Du Yang back to me!" The word "summon" was said through clenched teeth, carrying a great amount of resentment.

The hidden guard received the command and stepped back, saying, "Yes!"

Afterward, Huayan asked Huacheng to leave, and he stood there by himself, holding his hand that had been hurt from being slapped, silently shedding tears.

He shouldn't have slammed the table, it hurts like hell.
