I was speechless and looked at him with wide eyes. There seemed to be some pain remaining in his dark eyes. He stared at me for a long time, then slowly lowered his head and hugged me.

Get up.

His steps were as chaotic as his breathing, but his movements while holding me were still very gentle.

Restrained gentleness.

When people are in danger, they always close their eyes subconsciously, but at this time I opened my eyes wider and looked at him hard, watching his clear outline become more angular in the dim light, and

Those bright eyes kept looking at me.

After looking at it for a long time, he slowly leaned down and whispered in my ear: "If you are really scared, you can close your eyes."

"..."

"But I won't hurt you."

"..."

My heart trembled, and I said softly: "Really?"

"Really."

"..."

I lowered my eyelids, thought for a long time, raised my trembling hands, and hugged him gently.

"...!"

He seemed to stiffen for a moment and looked down at me.

I didn't say anything and looked at him.

What he said to Shuixiu may not be true.

I am not as cold as I seem on the surface, nor am I incapable of being sad, jealous, or in pain. I just want to make myself look less miserable when I am sad, jealous, or in pain.

But now, I want to try it once.

Just this once.

He lowered his head and looked into my eyes, looking attentively, as if he finally understood. Infinite ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he hugged me tighter.

When I woke up the next morning, I still had some numbness on my body from last night's entanglement. It was also because I was too tired. It took me a long time to open my eyes.

Pei Yuanhao is still sleeping, his long black hair is entangled between my neck and his, and his angular profile is half buried in the black hair, only revealing his closed eyes and long eyelashes, so calm.

Like a painting.

I gently reached out my hand and lifted the hair from his forehead.

The slightly raised corners of his eyes seemed to be about to fly at any moment, but at the moment they were just closed calmly, with thick eyelashes covering the thin eyelids, like the wings of a bird. I had never seen him so quiet, so quiet.

It's unreal. My fingers even reluctantly moved back and lingered on his eyelashes repeatedly.

Although I know that once he opens his eyes, his gaze is as sharp as a double-edged sword. No matter how he grasps it correctly, he will be cut all over.

He finally woke up, squinted his eyes for a while and then slowly opened them, but his eyes were still a little unclear.

Because, it’s too gentle.

The thin lips hidden in the black hair seemed to smile, and then he came over and pecked my lips gently: "Why don't you sleep more?"

"..." I also hid my face in my black hair and looked at him without speaking.

"Why don't you speak?"

"..."

How could I bear to speak at this time?

Looking at my calm eyes, he seemed to understand something. He came over with the corners of his eyes and kissed me gently on the lips.

The two of them were lying on the bed calmly looking at each other, with their long black hair tangled around their necks like knots. If I could look at this picture from a distance, then maybe all the suffering before and after would be gone.

It won’t really be that painful, because no matter what, he is real at this moment, and so am I.

When I couldn't stay in bed anymore, I got up and put on my clothes. I was so drunk from his kiss last night that my clothes were taken off for no apparent reason. Now they were scattered on the ground in a mess, and they were so wrinkled that I couldn't wear them anymore.

So I got out of bed wrapped in a thin quilt and went to get it, while he was lying on the bed looking at me. I blushed while putting on my clothes. It happened every time. It was more embarrassing to put on clothes in front of him than to take off clothes.

After finally getting dressed, I looked back at him: "Your Majesty, why don't you get up?"

He didn't speak, just looked at me.

"It's getting late."

As I spoke, I picked up his clothes and walked over. As soon as I reached the bed, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me, and I immediately fell into his arms: "Your Majesty——"

He hugged me and did nothing. He only rubbed my cheek affectionately with his cheek. His low laughter sounded in my ears, but it seemed to come from his heart.

He seems really happy.

I looked up at him, not struggling, just lying in his arms.

Sometimes I am afraid that all this is just a dream. Suddenly a thunder explodes and I go back to the past. I may be just a humble palace maid, or I may be seriously ill and die in the cold palace. People have a strong desire for happiness.

Powerful, but happy—but too fragile.

Moreover, the relationship between me and him is not just this.

I lay in his arms, listening to the powerful heartbeats coming from behind, and said softly: "The Emperor can no longer stay in bed."

"It's rare for me to rely on you." There was an indescribable laziness in his voice. Pei Yuanhao has always been the most alert, but now he has a subtle sense of being out of place.

"There are still so many things in the south, won't the emperor take care of them?"

"Recently, not really." He held my hand tighter: "Wei Ningyuan's people have really not taken any action recently from the news coming from local forces. Let Mo Tieyi and the others go."

Go back, although this move is risky, it is indeed a win-win situation."

"So, is there any news from King Qi?"

"Not yet. If there is, he will intercept it first."

In other words, now it depends on which group of people, Yao Lao to be precise, and what choices they make.

Recalling the tone of Hong Mo Tieyi and the others in February yesterday, I believe they are touched now. As long as the person in charge does not show up and the court shows sincerity to the South, then both parties will definitely have a way to go!

However, if Yao Lao's choice does not go as expected - I believe he will react immediately.

Pei Yuanfeng followed him south, not only to investigate this matter, but also as a young general who once commanded thousands of troops in Xidatong. His real role should be in war. But if this is really the case, what will Yangzhou get into?

I don’t dare to think about such a situation.

I raised my head and looked at him: "Then the emperor should do something more and show it to the people in the south."

He looked down at me, suddenly smiled, kissed me on the forehead, let go of me and stood up.

After serving him, he got dressed and washed up. As soon as he went out, Eunuch Yu and Shui Xiu had been waiting outside for a long time, with smiles on their faces. When they saw the door open, they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Although Pei Yuanhao was in a good mood, he didn't have much of a smile on his face as soon as he went out. Eunuch Yu looked at me carefully and then said: "Liu Zhaoyi has been preparing for a long time."

Liu Zhaoyi?
