By the time I returned to the palace, it was already late.

My tears never dried. Even though I was sitting in the carriage, my cheeks were dried by the night wind that kept lifting the curtain and slipping into the carriage, my eyes were still wet. Nian Shen seemed to feel the uneasy mourning in my heart. He didn't say anything, but just sat next to me, holding my hand, and letting me lean against him.

These days, too many things have happened, caught off guard and at a loss. I can't hide it too well, but it still needs an outlet for catharsis.

But, I couldn't make Yang Jinyao cry.

Just as my heart was filled with sorrow, the shaking carriage stopped. Nian Shen took a look outside and said, "Aunt Qing, we're here."

I didn't look out, but just nodded gently. Someone had already come forward to lift the curtain and jumped down. After Nian Shen stood firm, he turned around and reached out to support my arm, and carefully helped me down.

Although it has already entered spring, the wind is still a little cold at night.

I had just cried, my nose was still a little blocked, and I was blown by the cold wind, and I was trembling. I hugged my arms and was about to walk forward when I saw a few figures slowly walking towards us in the long passage in front. I got closer, and when I looked at the light of the lanterns held by the people on both sides, I saw that it was Pei Yuanhao.

Nian Shen was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and I immediately bowed to him.

Pei Yuanhao said: "Why did you come back so late?"

"Uh, Mrs. Wu is not in good health, so we stay for a while."

"Did she say anything?"

"I didn't say anything-oh, she thanked my father for his kindness."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao glanced at him, his eyes were faint, and after a while, he said, "Go back early. Your mother has been much better today. When she woke up, she looked for you everywhere, but you were playing outside for a day."

"Yes, my son knew he was wrong."

After hearing this, Nian Shen hurriedly kowtowed, stood up from the ground, and left in a hurry.

Then Pei Yuanhao stepped forward, walked to me, reached out and grabbed my arm, and pulled me up with force.

I also stood up as if he was kind. As soon as he looked at my eyes, he immediately frowned.

"Cry?"

“…”

"What did that Wu-Yang Jinyao tell you?"

“…”

"Or what did you say to her?"

My nose was sore and I couldn't say anything. He looked at my sob eyes, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed softly, pulled my hand with a little strength to pull me in front of him: "I wouldn't have let you go if I had known it. It was you who matched them up, and at this time, it must be you who felt uncomfortable."

After hearing what he said, I felt even more uncomfortable and couldn't speak. He sighed again: "Okay, go back first. It's cold here."

After saying that, he held my hand and turned around and walked into the palace.

I was feeling uncomfortable. When he held it like this, I felt that tears were flowing out, but he did not comfort me, nor even looked at me. He just wrapped my cold hands tightly with a big hand, kneading them lightly or heavily, and slowly walked forward.

I suppressed it for a long time and finally asked softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu - is there any news about him?"

He didn't speak, but shook his head gently.

"Are you looking for people from Henan?"

“It’s been looking for it.”

"That--"

"Yellow River...you know."

When I heard his words, my heart was even more painful as a knife. Tears broke down again, falling drop by drop. A few drops were blown by the wind and dripped on the back of his hand, clicking a few times, but he didn't look back. He just walked forward and said calmly: "There are some things that are destined. If this is God's test for them, or rather, Yang Jinyao, she must bear it."

“…”

"There is only so much that I can reward, but what I will do next depends on herself."

“…”

I burst into tears.

He originally pulled me forward without looking back, but at this time he felt that I was crying harder and harder, so he finally stopped, looked back at me, looked at my tears on my face under the moonlight, sighed lightly, walked to me, reached out to hold my face, and held my hand: "What's wrong with you?"

I was a little stiff by his excessively intimate behavior and hurriedly tried to avoid his hand, but he pinched me and reached out to take out a soft silk squid from his sleeve, gently wiping my cheeks.

I couldn't hide, so I could only cry unrestrainedly in his palm.

I don’t know how long it took, but tears didn’t mean to restrain themselves. Instead, they raged on their faces. He finally realized his powerlessness, so he could only sigh and hold my face with his palms wet with tears, and said softly: “I know you are uncomfortable, but I don’t allow you to cry and ruin your body, otherwise I will be unhappy.”

“…”

He was with me like this, and I finally stopped crying in his palm.

At this moment, almost all of his palms were filled with my tears.

At this time, he chuckled and said, "No wonder people say that women are made of water. I thought your tears had dried up in the past. I didn't expect that you would still cry."

I clenched my teeth and didn't say anything. He wiped my cheek with his handkerchief and said, "Okay, go back soon, otherwise you will really catch a cold."

The face full of tears was blown by the wind, and there was indeed a cool feeling. He grabbed my wrist and turned around and walked forward. Eunuch Yu and the others followed from a distance, as if they had seen nothing, and kept turning across an intersection. When I looked forward, I suddenly stopped.

"Where to go!"

This road is not the way back to Yihua Palace.

He looked back at me and said, "Go to my bedroom."

My face suddenly changed: "I won't go!"

I have gone to his bedroom so late. I have never had such a loss. Besides, even though there are few people walking outside now, I don’t know how many eyes are staring at his bedroom in the harem. Now I go to his bedroom with him, I’m afraid I won’t have to wait until tomorrow, and I will have a big fuss again tonight.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at my resistance, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Miaoyan is there."

"What?"

"Miaoyan is there and she is already asleep."

“…”

"Don't you go over and see her?"

My brow frowned immediately: "Why are there with you?"

He looked at me with a smile: "Miaoyan is my daughter, why can't she be in my bedroom?"

“…”

I was so blocked by his words that I couldn't speak.

That's right, but everyone knows that this shouldn't be true. He has so many children who hardly stay in his bedroom. He spends the night by his side. Even if he is so good, he just stayed in his bedroom after practicing the method of summoning souls before, but now...

I couldn't help but look up at him, but he looked at me with a smile, with a little scoundrel behavior.

After a while, he said, "I originally planned to spend some time with you and Miaoyan these days, but when something happened, we were busy all the time, and she was not in charge of her, and she was almost a wild child. I just finished the matter of the Ministry of Revenue in the past two days and was tired, and I wanted to have a good rest with you."

“…”

Even if no one cares about it for two days, he will not become a wild child.

Seeing that I was unhappy, he smiled and still pulled me in. When he walked into the courtyard, Xiao Fuzi was still guarding the door. When he saw that we were back, he immediately came up and knelt down to pay his respects.

Pei Yuanhao asked: "How is the princess?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the princess is already asleep. I am guarding outside, and there is no sound."

"Um."

He nodded and then took me in.

Just as he walked to the door, Xiao Fuzi suddenly said again: "Emperor."

"Um?"

He turned his head to look at him, and Xiao Fuzi whispered: "Earlier, the imperial concubine sent someone over."

“…”

Suddenly, I felt that the night was quiet.

Pei Yuanhao's breath paused, his eyes flashed: "What's the matter?"

"I want to come and see when will the emperor come and take a look."

“…”

"I heard that the Imperial Concubine has been in a bad mood these days and has not eaten much."

Xiao Fuzi said while looking at me carefully, probably worried that he would offend me. Pei Yuanhao's brows really frowned, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Call the imperial physician to show her."

"yes."

Xiao Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and left quickly.

Pei Yuanhao pushed open the door and led me in.

It was already spring, and the ground dragons in the palace had not burned for a long time, but the room was still much warmer than outside. As soon as I entered the room, the warm heat made me tremble slightly. I didn't look much and walked straight to the inner room. Sure enough, I saw a piece of arched high on his bed and arched high in the quilt. I didn't need to lift it up, and knew that it was Miaoyan who was asleep inside.

I frowned and was about to reach out to lift the quilt when he reached out and grabbed my wrist from behind.
