Chapter 80: A Drama of Joys and Sorrows (Part Five)

"Big Brother, long time no see..."

As soon as that person stepped into the grand hall, Cheng TianBi's face suddenly turned pale, his whole body 

stiffened, and he even trembled slightly. Si Cang Qing, who was tightly holding him from behind, clearly sensed 

the stiffness and... fear of the person in his arms.

Si Cang Qing's gaze turned slightly cold as he glanced at the smiling man approaching. As he drew nearer, 

Cheng TianBi's trembling intensified—this was an instinctive physiological reaction.

Fear...

What exactly did that person do to make the usually calm and serene Cheng TianBi instinctively fear him?

Si Cang Qing subtly moved his palm to Cheng TianBi's back, slowly channeling his internal energy to help 

this person stabilize their emotions.

A warm current spread from behind, gradually permeating into the heart, strangely dispelling the chilling cold 

that spontaneously arose from the body, which was quite unsettling. Cheng TianBi steadied his mind, his face 

still very pale, but his tone was calm and indifferent: "Third Brother, long time no see."

Hearing that rough and plain voice, a hint of viciousness flashed across Cheng TianYi's eyes. His eyes turned to 

Liu Nian, who was kneeling on the ground, shaking and not daring to say a word. Cheng TianYi smiled 

inscrutablely, "Big brother, when did you come back? You didn't even tell me. Do you look down on me, your 

younger brother?"

Cheng TianBi looked at the fake smile on the other person's face, and said in a rare cold tone, "Third brother, 

you are worrying too much. I just came back to pay my respects to... my father. I never intended to trouble 

anyone. I will leave as soon as the worship is over."

Seemingly shaking his head and sighing helplessly, Cheng TianYi smiled more and more strangely, "My royal 

brother is still so soft-hearted. The old man made you suffer so much, and you still miss him!" Then he changed 

the subject, "But..."

"Now that my brother is back, why are you in such a hurry to leave? You can stay in my house for a few days. 

As your younger brother, I will definitely do my duty and entertain you well."

He emphasized the words "treat well".

Saying this, Cheng TianYi walked leisurely to Cheng TianBi, raising his hand to touch the other's face. However, 

Si Cang Qing was quicker, gently leaping backward with Cheng TianBi in his arms, landing several feet away.

This action seemed to finally catch Cheng TianYi's attention towards Si Cang Qing, but he let out a light laugh, 

his words laced with a hint of teasing, "Tsk, Your Majesty the Emperor of Cang, instead of staying comfortably 

in your own palace, you traveled thousands of miles to come to my Hongcheng Kingdom. Don't tell me you find 

my Hongcheng palace more comfortable?"

Though it was a jest, the underlying danger was self-evident. In Cheng TianYi's eyes, there was an added touch 

of enigmatic brilliance.

Si Cang Qing seemed to be oblivious to his words, secretly on guard while quietly observing the surroundings

—today, escaping from here safely would be exceptionally difficult. It was obvious that Cheng TianYi had 

somehow learned about their arrival and deliberately set this trap.

Secretly analyzing the current situation, Si Cang Qing's mind raced: Who could have leaked the information?

Cheng TianBi, who had calmed down, became nervous again after hearing Cheng TianYi's questions to 

Si Cang Qing. With his eyes fixed on the other person, he struggled out of Si Cang Qing's arms and 

unconsciously protected Si Cang Qing behind him. He said calmly, "Third brother, I am only here today to 

pay my respects to my father. I have seen him for the last time. Please... let me leave."

Cheng TianYi laughed and made way for you, saying, "Royal brother, what are you talking about? You can 

leave wherever you want with just one word. How dare I block your way? Since you insist on leaving..." 

He made a gesture of invitation, "Royal brother, please go ahead."

Cheng TianBi hesitated. Based on his understanding of Cheng TianYi, how could the other party let him go 

so easily?

"What's wrong?" Seeing Cheng TianBi's expression, Cheng TianYi smiled brightly, "Brother, are you reluctant 

to leave?"

Ignoring the other party's teasing, Cheng TianBi didn't want to beat around the bush and said directly: "I said, 

after seeing my father, I will leave. I will never set foot in Hongcheng territory again!"

He laughed softly, Cheng TianYi's eyes sparkling, "My Royal Brother, you are so heartless! I will never set 

foot in Hongcheng territory again..."

"In that case, you may leave as you please. I, your Royal Brother, will never stop you!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be serious, Cheng TianBi hesitated for a moment, then unconsciously 

grasped Si Cang Qing's hand, nodded to Cheng TianYi, and barely squeezed out a word of advice, "Then I'm 

leaving, take care of yourself, Third Brother."

“Haha,” Cheng TianYi smiled slyly, and said softly: “Don’t worry, my royal brother, I will take good care 

of myself…” Seeing Si Cang Qing holding Cheng TianBi in his arms and about to leave, he suddenly raised 

his voice: “Your Majesty Emperor Cang, please stay!”

Si Cang Qing stopped indifferently and looked at the other party coldly.

Cheng TianBi's whole body stiffened, and the strength in his hands increased a little. He tightly grasped 

Si Cang Qing's hand, maintaining a calm expression, "Third brother, you agreed to let us go."

"Don't worry, my brother. I won't break my promise." Cheng TianYi said calmly, his eyes drifting towards 

the two people's tightly clasped hands, his expression unfathomable, "But Emperor Cang can't leave!"

"Qing and I are together!"

"Brother, I don't mean to embarrass you," Cheng TianYi said in a high-sounding manner, "but this sacrificial 

palace is also considered a forbidden area for the royal family of Hongcheng. Outsiders are not allowed to 

enter or leave. Moreover, Emperor Cang is the emperor of a foreign country. Now that my father has just 

passed away, there will be unrest in Hongcheng. I must consider the safety of Hongcheng."

He looked at Si Cang Qing again, "Emperor Cang must be well aware of the royal rules! During the twelfth 

wedding, General Wen Shu didn't know the rules and was imprisoned in Canghuan Prison for more than half 

a year because he accidentally entered your Canghuan harem!"

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

Cheng TianBi's eyes were cold, and the fear from before was long gone. His tone was firm and powerful, 

"Third brother, you and I are brothers, so let's not beat around the bush. The conflict between us should not 

involve innocent people. Qing is here today only as my friend. I would not have rashly entered this 

sacrificial palace if you were worried about me."

"Whatever you want, just come to me!"

“Hahaha,” Cheng TianYi laughed suddenly and shook his head repeatedly, “Royal brother, oh royal brother, 

you really haven’t changed at all! You can’t protect yourself, but you still want to protect others. Do you 

think you are still the Prince Bi Yue who was the center of attention back then?”

Cheng TianBi was not at all affected by the other party's sarcasm and ridicule. He just said calmly, "It doesn't 

matter whether I am the same Young Master Bi Yue as before. What matters is that you set this trap specifically 

to catch me!"

"Tsk, my brother is really smart!" Cheng TianYi admitted straightforwardly, "I knew that you would come back 

after the old man died, so I waited for you here. But I didn't expect that even if you have nothing now, there are 

still people who are willing to run around and serve you."

At this point, Cheng TianYi's tone revealed a chilling coldness, "The Cang Emperor, known throughout 

the world for his ruthlessness, actually set aside his own country to accompany you on this journey... 

Brother, it seems I underestimated the power of your beauty!"

The implication is obvious.

Cheng TianBi's face turned slightly pale, but he quickly regained his composure. "Since you want to find me, 

don't involve unrelated people." Without needing to imagine, he could tell that outside it was probably already 

a tight net, making it impossible to escape!

His broken body is of no great use left in this world, but Si Cang Qing absolutely cannot have an accident here, 

especially not because of his own selfishness.

In this tumultuous world, what is needed is a strong, decisive, brave, and wise ruler to govern. That person, 

without a doubt, is Si Cang Qing.

Hearing this, Cheng TianYi's eyes flickered between Cheng TianBi and Si Cang Qing, and after a moment, 

he smiled meaningfully, "Good!"

He looked at Cheng TianBi with deep eyes, "As long as you, my royal brother, are willing to stay, I will 

immediately send someone to escort Emperor Cang out of the city and will not make things difficult for you." 

Cheng TianBi looked at him coldly, wanting to discern the truth behind his words.

Cheng TianYi, looking carefree and unrestrained, smiled and said to the ever-silent Si Cang Qing, 

"Your Majesty Cang Emperor, please go ahead!"

Si Cang Qing looked at him coldly, without a word, just using his arm to pull Cheng TianBi back into 

his embrace, and said casually, "Let's go together."

"Qing," Cheng TianBi raised her eyes, focusing intently on the other person's cold face, her eyes flowing 

with tenderness, reluctance, and determination, "Don't be willful."

For the first time, he spoke with the demeanor of an elder and said, "My matters, I can handle them myself; 

you have your own responsibilities, don't let me distract you anymore!"

He is a man,a descendant of a royal family, and has his own principles and dignity. How can he weakly 

hide in the embrace of this man who is ten years younger, disregarding the other's safety and responsibilities?

Without wavering, Si Cang Qing replied nonchalantly, "I can bring you here, and I can take you away." 

He finally looked straight at Cheng TianYi and said in a cold voice, "The eldest prince of Hongcheng Kingdom 

has long been buried in the Valley of Death. Now there is only Cheng TianBi. He is not someone you 

can do whatever you want to!"

He watched the interaction between the two with an uncertain expression. Upon hearing this, Cheng TianYi 

laughed up to the sky, "Hahaha, what a touching friendship!" He looked at Si Cang Qing with ambiguous eyes, 

"Emperor Cang, I thought you would be satisfied if I gave you Twelve, but I didn't expect you to fall in 

love with my Royal Elder brother again..."

He stretched out his voice, looking as if he had realized something, "It seems that the Royal brother tastes 

better than Twelve!"

"Cheng TianYi!" Such obscene words came out of his brother's mouth, making Cheng TianBi blush with anger, 

and finally unable to maintain his composure, "You are unworthy of being a gentleman!"

"Gentleman?" Cheng TianYi looked at him strangely, as if he didn't know him. He looked him up and down, 

then shook his head and sighed, "My royal brother has been through so much, but he is still so naive! 

Tsk tsk, to be honest, I was so ignorant back then. I only thought about breaking your tendons and destroying 

your voice, but I forgot that I should have enjoy your body first..."

“Slap!”

A crisp sound suddenly echoed in the grand hall.

Slowly raising his hand, he gently caressed the bruised cheek, and Cheng TianYi smiled softly, his eyes 

unusually gentle as he looked at the trembling Cheng TianBi, who was furious. "Elder Brother, it's the first 

time I've seen you so unabashedly angry!"

His eyes were filled with obsession and madness, causing Si Cang Qing to furrow his brows involuntarily.

But then I heard Cheng TianYi's voice again, "You look even more beautiful when you're angry... Biyue..."

The previous feelings of humiliation and anger had been suppressed. Cheng TianBi struggled to maintain 

an indifferent expression, his voice cold, "Cheng TianYi, you are about to become the Hong Cheng Emperor, 

don't be so ungrateful!"

"Ungrateful?" Cheng TianYi laughed heartily, "Let's see who is ungrateful!" The momentary tenderness 

from before vanished like a fleeting flower, his eyes turned exceptionally cold as he issued commands word 

by word, "Bring Cheng TianBi alive. As for the others..."

His gaze lightly swept over the calm and indifferent Si Cang Qing, but Cheng TianYi's eyes were filled 

with undisguised ruthlessness, his tone cold, "Dismember him into a thousand pieces!"
