Chapter 384 How would you answer?
In late spring, peach blossoms are flying, and the gauze-like petals dance in the wind, falling in a corner of the Forbidden City and quietly landing on the shoulders of two men.
Ah Mo was dressed in a simple and elegant robe, his black hair was like a waterfall, and his eyes contained the stars and the deep sea. He stood quietly under the pavilion of the imperial garden, his gaze gently penetrating the brocade flowers and fell on the young emperor Huai Huai who was dressed in a dragon robe but could not hide his elegant aura not far away.
Huai Huai, the ruler of the world, has now cast off all his majesty and burdens, with only the man in front of him who makes his heart beat fast.
His fingers unconsciously stroked the dark patterns on his robe, and his pearly teeth bit his lower lip, as if he was undergoing a silent struggle and decision deep in his heart.
"Amo, I...I really don't know how to respond to your affection."
Huaihuai's voice was soft and trembling, with a hint of barely perceptible panic.
He raised his eyes and looked at Ah Mo. His eyes, which were usually calm and decisive when handling state affairs, were now filled with anxiety and confusion.
"Between us, this identity, this responsibility... they are like an invisible wall, making it difficult for me to see the direction of the future."
Hearing this, A Mo curled up a gentle smile and slowly walked closer until there was only one step between them.
He raised his hand gently and touched Huaihuai's cheek with his fingertips. The warmth seemed to penetrate the skin and reach the heart.
"Huai Huai, throw away all the constraints of this world. If you and I were just two specks of dust in this mortal world, and if we were just talking about our feelings, how would you answer?"
When Huai Huai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a light in his heart was lit.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was determination in his eyes.
"Amo, I don't know what love is, but in front of you, my heart is always inexplicably happy; when I'm with you, my heartbeat will involuntarily accelerate, it's an indescribable throbbing; when you stand up and shield me from the wind and rain, my heart seems to be surrounded by a warm current, so hot that it makes me feel at ease."
At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped, leaving only the sound of their two heartbeats, which intertwined into the most moving melody in this spring afternoon.
......
Since that day, the relationship between Amo and Huaihuai has quietly changed.
They are no longer just king and subject, but also indispensable partners in each other's lives.
Every corner of the Forbidden City witnessed the quiet growth of their love, from the initial shyness and temptation to the later honesty and dependence.
On spring days, they would stroll together in the Imperial Gardens, admiring the flowers and sipping tea, chatting and laughing. Ah Mo would patiently teach Huai Huai to identify various flowers, while Huai Huai would playfully pick the most beautiful flower and gently place it in Ah Mo's hair. The two would smile at each other, their eyes gleaming with a tenderness that only the other could understand.
In the hot summer, they prefer to cool off by the Taiye Lake.
Huaihuai would change into light clothes and go boating on the lake with Amo. The breeze was blowing gently and the water was calm. They would either recite poems and paint, or snuggle together quietly, enjoying this rare tranquility and coolness.
Occasionally, Huaihuai would playfully splash water, bringing coolness to Amo, and the two would chase and play with each other in laughter, as if they were back in their carefree childhood.
When the autumn wind blows, they stroll hand in hand in the maple forest. Their feet are covered with a golden carpet of fallen leaves, and above their heads are trees full of fiery red maple leaves, like burning flames, reflecting their dependent figures.
Huaihuai would pick up the most perfect maple leaf and carefully put it between the pages of the book he carried with him, saying that it was to be a testimony of their love.
In the winter, the Forbidden City is covered in pure white snow.
They would put on thick cotton clothes, sit around the stove, boil a pot of hot wine, and share the warmth of winter.
A-Mo would tell stories about strange things in the martial arts world, which would make Huai Huai marvel and laugh at times; and Huai Huai would share his experience in governing the country, as well as those unknown troubles and worries. A-Mo would always listen quietly and give him the most solid support and encouragement.
In the process, Amo gradually discovered that Huaihuai was not only a wise and powerful emperor, but also an ordinary person who longed to be understood and cared for.
Huai Huai also realized that A Mo was not only his most capable assistant, but also an indispensable partner in his life and his spiritual harbor.
However, their love was not all smooth sailing.
Rumors were spreading in the court. Some people praised their deep friendship, while others secretly slandered them in an attempt to destroy this forbidden love.
But Amo and Huaihuai both chose to stand firmly by each other and face all the storms together.
They know that as long as there is love in their hearts, it is enough to resist all the cold and darkness in the world.
On a stormy night, the imperial city suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Foreign enemies invaded and the border was in crisis, but some people in the court took the opportunity to cause chaos and attempted to overthrow the imperial power.
After hearing the news, Huai Huai immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures, but most of them seemed panicked and helpless.
At the critical moment, Amo stepped forward. With his wisdom and courage, he quickly developed a thorough response plan.
He personally led the troops to fight, vowing to defend the country and Huaihuai.
A Mo led the army to the front line to fight against the enemy. A Mo led the army to the front line to fight against the enemy.
