When the sunset was setting in the evening, golden sunlight sprinkled in from outside the gate. I sat on the bed reading a book. I was covered with a layer of gold by such sunset, and my eyes were blurred.?????

It is said that it is reading a book, but in fact it cannot be read, and the mind cannot calm down at all.

Fortunately, footsteps came quickly outside, and Eunuch Yu's voice also sounded loudly at the door: "The Emperor is here!"

I put down the book and hurriedly wanted to get up, but as soon as my hand was supported on the bed, a pain came from the wrist, and I suddenly fell back. As soon as Pei Yuanhao entered the door, he saw me leaning against the bed in a little embarrassed manner, with a layer of sweat on his forehead, and hurried over to support me: "What's wrong?"

"fine."

"Is the injury still hurting?"

"And, there's a little more."

"Then don't move around."

"Um."

I obediently responded to whatever he said, looking up at his face. He didn't seem to have a good rest last night, his eyes were still a little dark, but he was not in a bad mood. He reached out and touched my forehead to make sure it was okay. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed and let me snuggle on him.

He gently hugged him with one hand, and his voice rang over his head: "What are you doing?"

"Uh, read."

"Reading a book?" He picked up the book I put aside and frowned slightly: "Lankavatara Sutra?"

Seeing his slightly unhappy look, I remembered that when he was sent to Linshui Pagoda, he told me that he didn't want me to read the Buddhist scriptures again, but he didn't expect that he would hit me again.

He said in a low voice: "Why do you read the scriptures again?"

I lowered my head and said, "Okay, nothing is good."

"Tomorrow I will ask you to go to the bookstore to check it out and find some books for you. There are many legends in Jiangnan. If it really doesn't work, you can find a troupe to come back. Don't always read these."

"No, no need." I said hurriedly: "Actually, I didn't see anything in."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows, threw the scriptures aside, and looked at me: "I didn't read it, what are you thinking? Are you worried about me?"

"..." I don't know if it was because he got too close and breathed too hot, or because he had been sunburned for too long, my face was slightly hot, but I nodded: "Yes."

He was stunned.

I looked up at him with courage and asked carefully: "The emperor went out today, nothing happened, right?"

He seemed to smile: "No."

"That's good."

I also felt relieved, that is, Mo Tieyi and the others had returned safely. Otherwise, with the temperament of the people there, the emperor publicly killed the assassin in the court, and they would not give up. Today, he took civil and military officials to inspect the Qingshuiqu. Nothing happened, that is, the people there would not touch him for the time being.

But—what will he do next step.

If both sides don’t take a step, this matter will eventually become stiff, and the people of Shengjing will naturally not stop like this. Therefore, there must be an opportunity.

But if he really wants to meet people over there, he will definitely-

All day today, my heart was also anxious about this matter. Perhaps this was the biggest reason why the people from Shengjing asked Nangong Lizhu to go south. As soon as they met her, many things would become complicated. Looking back on the first night in Yangzhou, she just appeared from afar, which caused a big turmoil. What would happen if Pei Yuanhao really knew where she was?

I dare not think about it, but I cannot stop thinking about it.

We should still tell him about this, but how can we tell him so that he will not be as impulsive as at that time?

I was still feeling a little distressed, but I heard Pei Yuanhao ask softly: "Have you used dinner?"

"Uh?" I was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, the orange-red light of the setting sun shone on his face, but there was a strange tenderness. I looked at him foolishly: "Not yet."

"Okay, I just asked someone to send dinner here, let's use it together."

He sat with me for a while, and soon Eunuch Yu brought someone to deliver meals. It goes without saying how much he eats and wears, but I also used some medicinal materials for dinner now. The faint fragrance of medicine permeates this small room, but it makes people feel soft in such a scent.

Shui Xiu helped me walk to the table and sit down. Pei Yuanhao asked, "Drink some soup first?"

"Yeah, OK..."

As soon as I finished speaking, Shui Xiu immediately picked up a bowl of soup and served it over. Pei Yuanhao glanced at her and curled his lips: "This girl, I'm just serving you with all my heart."

I smiled and nodded: "I thank her for these days."

For some reason, as soon as this sentence was spoken, his face froze for a moment. I immediately realized something. Both of them were a little silent. After a while, he said to Shui Xiu: "Put it here, go down and receive the reward."

"Huh?" Shui Xiu was stunned for a moment. My hands were inconvenient. She served her food, but Pei Yuanhao asked her to go down. She looked at me, then looked at him again, and said with a smile: "I thank you, the emperor."

After saying that, he ran out and pulled the door up.

I watched her walk out, and when I turned around, a spoonful of steaming soup had already been delivered to my lips. When I raised my eyes, I saw Pei Yuanhao looking down at me: "Drink some soup and eat."

I was also a little panicked and hurriedly reached out and said, "I'll do it myself."

"obedient."

He strengthened his tone, and the spoon had already been put on his lips. I looked at him, looked down at his wrists still wrapped in gauze. Even if this bowl of soup really came to my hands, I could not hold it up. I could only open my mouth gently, and a spoonful of fragrant and sweet soup slowly flowed into my mouth.

Swallowed it little by little, and suddenly I didn't know what it felt like.

Sour, remorseful, ignorant, or trembling happiness...?

He was not used to taking care of people, but he still fed spoonfuls very carefully. I also drank very obediently one by one. After a while, the soup was already at the bottom. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, put down the empty bowl and looked at me and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Your Majesty, use it first." I said softly: "I have been outside all day today, and I heard that I didn't have a good meal."

"I'm not hungry."

"I see the emperor eat it, I will eat it again."

He looked at me for a while, but was not angry. Instead, there were ripples of smiley ripples in his eyes. He picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started to eat.

He seemed to be really not hungry. He chewed the dish for a long time, as if he was savoring it, and I looked at him quietly.

This seems to be the life that is closest to my dreams.

I once vaguely thought that if I get married in the future, I would have to be a husband who doesn’t have to be too rich but can do gentleness, and the family would have enough food and clothing. Every day he went out to work, and when he came back in the evening, the family sat together for dinner, and the candlelight shone on his sweaty face. If his high hall was still there, I would be so heartbroken that I would take the empty bowl and add rice to him and pick up food for him. Even if only pickles and radishes were mixed, I would feel sweet.

"what's on your mind?"

His words rang in his ears, but they pulled me out of the illusion. I turned to look at him and smiled: "Nothing."

The matter between Nangong Lizhu...it's better to be a little late.

At least, we have to wait for Mo Tieyi to get news and say it rashly. It's really too risky.

I should have dinner when he finished eating, but there was nothing I could do with my hands. I wanted to ask Shuixiu to come in but he didn't let me, so I picked up the dishes and fed me bit by bit. I was not the kind of caring person, and he was not the kind of person who could take care of people. A large piece of fish was sent to me with juice, and it was not just not to eat it. My cheeks were bulging, and the soup dripped off and even my clothes were dirty.

Although I have always been unhappy, I have never been so embarrassed. He looked at me and laughed.

Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

This action made him and I stunned for a moment, and subconsciously remembered that when he was pregnant, he ate the orange cheese I made. I used to wipe his mouth gently, but after that...

It seems like a long time has passed.

After dinner, Eunuch Yu brought people to clean up. Seeing that I was feeling uneven, he hugged me and sat back on the bed. As soon as he leaned against the head of the bed, he heard footsteps outside. A guard was greeting him, and Pei Yuanhao walked out.

After a while, he came back and I asked carefully: "Is there anything wrong?"

He glanced at me: "The King of Qi left the mansion."

“…”

Some people and some things cannot be mentioned easily between me and him, but Pei Yuanfeng - he had already said so clearly in the cold palace, and it was like that again this morning. I don't know what he said later when he arrived at Qingshuiqu. The two brothers wanted to ask, but they dared not speak easily.

Looking at my careful look, although his face was not very good-looking, it was not too ugly. It took a while before he said, "Don't worry."

“…”

"There is only one brother left by my side."

“…”

He turned to look at me again: "I will treat you well."

I smiled softly.

The silence in the room did not last long, but was broken by the chaotic footsteps outside. This time Pei Yuanfeng left the mansion seemed a little different from before. I asked, "Does King Qi have something to do?"

"Yes." Pei Yuanhao nodded: "What you said before is that the people in the south are still waiting for the person in charge. I guess this is the reason, so there has been no movement on their side."

I immediately said, "Did you ask the King of Qi to investigate this matter?"

"Yeah." He nodded: "I want to know who is the person behind the scenes of this group of people in the south, and their power should be quite high. If they want to enter Yangzhou, it will inevitably cause some fluctuations."
