The gloomy expression that originally appeared on the dog's reflex suddenly disappeared without a trace when he remembered Mu Qingwan's sweet smile when he teased it yesterday.

However, it was obvious that his favorable impression of it did not end there. Seeing it looking like it wanted to climb up, Xia Houlie immediately turned cold, pointed at the imperial concubine's couch not far away, and shouted in a low voice:

"Go and lie down on it, and don't make any sound, or I'll throw you out!"

Nuannuan whined, seemingly unwilling to do so, and lay on the ground, her eyes still flickering at Xia Houlie, and her tail kept sweeping on the ground, looking aggrieved.

Logically speaking, as long as it pretends to be aggrieved, everyone will immediately relent, but today it is destined to hit the wall.

Xia Houlie saw that it was clinging on and refused to leave. He snorted with disdain and looked at the little woman sleeping soundly in his arms. He put her down gently and then gave the little beast on the ground a warning look. He was about to lift him up to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly he raised his body slightly. Nuan Nuan had already noticed something was wrong. He suddenly stood up quickly and with a swish sound, he got into the bed of the imperial concubine and lay down on his back. His eyes were still looking cautiously. The man staring at it covetously.

Xia Houlie couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, but in order to create a deterrent effect, he still pointed at it with a cold face and warned softly:

"Just lie there and if you don't obey me, I will throw you into the forest and see how those tigers and wolves deal with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around his waist, and then a cold body wrapped around him and pressed tightly against his back.

His whole body froze, his mind suddenly went blank, and he didn't even know how to move.

This is... this is the first time this woman takes the initiative to hug him!

Such a thought flashed through his mind in confusion, and it took him a few seconds to react, reaching out to grab her hands, and then turned around to hug her, covering her cold limbs in his arms.

He knew that her body had always been afraid of the cold, and just now, it must have been because she lost the warmth of his body that she could not help but move closer to him in her sleep.

Even though he knew that she came close to him as a "heat source" out of her body's instinct to keep warm, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but turn up.

Nuan Nuan, who accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, understood the fact that as long as this man was around, the job of helping Qin Qin's master stay warm would probably never be his turn.

What a shame!

The next morning, when Mu Qingwan woke up, she found that she was in a furnace, warm and extremely comfortable. It was completely different from waking up in the cold in the past few days. Her physique had always been cold, especially in winter.

It was even more serious. Even if the quilt was warm when I slept, my hands and feet would be as cold as ice the next morning. I would wake up from the cold every time.

Just like the days when she first came to Luo City, she didn't know whether it was because she had adapted to Xia Houlie's body temperature. Without him beside her, she actually suffered from insomnia for several nights, and every morning, she woke up with the same cold.

Xia Houlie?! This name suddenly flashed through her mind. When she smelled the faint ambergris, her body froze instantly. She looked at her posture and her eyes suddenly opened as big as copper bells. She actually

Holding Xia Houlie like an octopus?!

She, she, she...when did you hug her last night??

Her body reflexively wanted to move back in the next second, but the man beside her seemed to have noticed her intention. He reached out and took her into his arms again, gently rubbing the delicate skin on her neck. She didn't.

She wanted to hide away, but she didn't resist as before. She suddenly felt very sad that she had unknowingly adapted to his touch. What about the future? Will she become like his concubines, who want to do everything every day?

Doing everything you can to please him, please him, and attract his attention? Gradually, you forget the purpose of leaving the palace in the first place?

While Mu Qingwan was stunned, Xia Houlie lifted her chin with two fingers, kissed her forehead, and said slowly: "Let's stay like this from now on, okay?"

Although he seemed to be asking, there was no trace of discussion in his voice, but a hegemonic order.

She gritted her teeth secretly, remembering that Su Hanzhi's operation was very successful. Now as long as she successfully overthrows the Yun family's power, she can leave. Then she will be able to stay away from this devil. Being impatient can ruin big plans, not to mention now.

It's not bad for you to live in peace like this, so why bother getting into a tense situation every day?

Thinking of this, she could only nod her head. Seeing her well-behaved look, Xia Houlie felt extremely happy and curved his lips:

"You're so good. I happen to be free today. I'll take you out of the palace for a walk after seeing the imperial grandmother."

Leaving the palace? Mu Qingwan's eyes lit up. To be honest, she had never left the palace since she came back from Hengzhi last time. She really missed the feeling of freedom outside the palace.

Although there was some resistance to this man in my heart, the temptation to leave the palace has undoubtedly overcome everything.

The streets are bustling with people, and there are many shops on both sides of the streets, such as silk shops, antique shops, calligraphy and painting stalls, and rouge shops. Looking along the entire street, they are all businesses, teahouses, and restaurants, and there are also acrobatics, sword dancing,

The whole street looks lively with entertainers such as monkey dancers.

When I went to see Su Hanzhi just now, after the operation, although she looked a little weak, her complexion was still good, and her body was recovering. As long as she took proper care, her body could recover. This made Mu Qingwan feel good, not only because of the rescue.

When I returned to my grandma, this was the first operation she had done in ancient times. The previous theory was now successfully implemented through practice. I was so happy that it was really hard to describe.

Therefore, even though the man next to her still had a cold expression on her face, she still had a great time playing. After a while, she had a long list of things in her hands, including clay figurines, masks, and candied haws.

But no matter how happy you are, it would be quite uncomfortable if there is always a bottle of Ice God blowing air-conditioning at you from time to time, right?

"Hey, brother, if you keep such a cold face, you might as well go back and forget about it. I'll just go shopping alone." She added in her mind to avoid causing trouble for me.

Xia Houlie narrowed his eyes: "What did you just call me?"

Mu Qingwan curled her lips, you are on patrol incognito today, why should you call you the Emperor or Xia Houlie?! "Brother, what's wrong? Isn't it inappropriate?"

"You and I are husband and wife." He emphasized his tone, and Mu Qingwan could naturally hear the displeasure in his tone, but why was he unhappy? Although the two of them are husband and wife, they are worse than ordinary friends, right?

"You and I both know the true relationship very well, so I don't think I need to say more." She turned her face away and said coldly.

The thoughts of the morning came back to her mind, and she admitted that she was afraid that she would unknowingly get used to him and this kind of life, and in the end, she would be doomed.

Now that she already knew the outcome, she would never allow herself to fall into it stupidly like this.

Xia Houlie's good mood just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. He grabbed her hand and his cold eyes almost frostbitten her:

"What do you mean? We have worshiped heaven and earth, and everyone in the world has testified. Do you dare not to admit it?"

Mu Qingwan looked at the people coming and going around him and shouted: "Xia Houlie, this is the street, don't go too far!"

But his hand squeezed her tighter, with no intention of letting go:

"Am I going too far? Who is going too far? I just promised the royal grandmother a few days ago that I will grow old together and stay together forever. How come, in just a few days, I have forgotten what I promised?"

Hearing him mention Feng Pei, Mu Qingwan only felt that the jade pendant sticking to her skin was burning her skin like a soldering iron, and she laughed angrily:

"Xia Houlie, you don't naively think that such a small jade pendant can trap me, do you? Don't you often say that I am shameless and shameless? Haha... I, Mu Qingwan, am really shameless and shameless. You

Do you know what shameless people are best at? That is breaking their promises and going back on their word!"

"You..." There was fierce anger in his eyes, and he tightened his grip, "Mu Qingwan, don't ever think of me letting you go in this life, so just give up!"
