The wick of the candle burned out little by little, and the night gradually became a little brighter under the dusk.

Unknowingly, the person next to him had already let him lie on her lap. He didn't dare to move his body. After finally falling asleep peacefully, he didn't want to disturb her.

Seeing that in the memorial she read, the contents she circled were things she had never cared about.

If he hadn't seen her secretly yawning, he wouldn't have advised her to sleep here so peacefully.

Seeing the hazy sky exuding vitality, he gently held her body in his arms and placed her gently on the bed.

His movements slowed down very gently, he hugged her tightly and never left, and his hazy eyes slowly closed.

The memories are dim, the mirror flowers and the moon are at your fingertips.

Don't ask about the past, I vaguely make an appointment with you in my dream.

"Eunuch Han, why are you here?" Seeing Eunuch Han coming in such a hurry, Sheng Huai put down the kettle in his hand and asked.

Han Yuan anxiously looked inside, but saw no one, so he asked, "Is the emperor not up yet?"

"But, what happened?"

When Han Yuan saw it was Zi Ling, he suddenly relaxed a little and said: "Today, the emperor has missed the time to go to court, and the ministers in the court are still discussing it privately."

In the past, the emperor had already been in court at this hour, and he had never forgotten the time like this.

Yesterday, I sent all the memorials to Qinlan Hall, and I knew that the emperor would stay up all night to review them. In the past, he would get up no matter how long it took, but now...

"But without the order, how could we dare to enter?"

Sheng Huai had just stepped into the threshold before and was kicked out. Since then, he has not dared to enter at will for fear of annoying the emperor. He sighed leisurely and said, "Eunuch Han, it's not like you don't know the emperor's temper. What's more, as long as

This is a place where the queen is, and the emperor will not allow anyone to come in and disturb her."

"What, what can we do? The ministers in the court don't know what's going on behind the scenes..."

The more anxious he became, the more anxious he became.

How could those ministers in the court give up and leave the court without seeing the emperor?

Zi Ling turned around and stared, indeed the emperor today was different from before.

Shen Zuo breathed: "I'll go in and take a look."

Opening the door softly, neither of them got up, but walked forward slowly out of curiosity.

The moment she heard the door opened, Ye Yilan stood up and took a look at the person beside her, sighing helplessly. She opened the curtain and saw that Zi Ling was about to feel restless, she quickly shushed and winked at her.

Tiptoeing out of bed, he walked up to her and whispered, "Tell Han Yuan that the emperor was infected with cold last night. Doctor Xiao has warned the emperor not to go to court today. You know what to do next."

"My slave understands."

Zi Ling glanced at the memorial on the table beside her. It must be that the emperor was awake last night and refused to go to court today. I am afraid that the two of them knew the reason.

The moment she closed the door, Ye Yilan turned around and stared at the person in the bed. Today, he had indeed gone too far.

When she woke up, she had already missed the time for him to go to court. Just as she was shouting, he said sleepily: "I don't want to go to court today."

"You are the emperor, how can you be so willful?"

Suddenly, her body was pressed heavily by him. He opened his eyes slightly and kissed her lips wantonly, leaving her without any resistance.

This wanton kiss made her have no reaction at all and allowed him to bully her at will.

He was so sensitive that if he hadn't heard the sound of the door opening, he wouldn't have let go. His brows suddenly frowned, and he hugged her body and murmured softly: "Today, if you don't want to go to court, it's up to you for any reason."

At that moment, she could only think of such a reason. Looking at him being so willful now, she became more and more worried about what would happen to him in the future?

"Lan'er——"

When Ye Yilan heard him calling her so anxiously, her heart suddenly became uneasy. She sat aside and held his hand tightly, asking comfortingly: "But are you feeling unwell?"

He closed his eyes and couldn't help but smile. He opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to tease the tip of her nose, and asked in a solemn voice: "What? You really hope that I am sick."

If it hadn't been for that call, she would have really thought that he was feeling unwell. What's more, she told Ziling that he had a cold, and even she believed it was true for a while.

The moment he lifted the quilt, she understood his intention. As soon as she lay down, he turned sideways, stretched out his arms and hugged her, refusing to let go.

Seeing him nestled in his arms, she used to hide in his arms, but now...

She reached out and stroked his back and asked softly: "Why don't you go to court today?"

"Didn't you say that no matter how tired you are, you can't endure it alone? I was too tired after reviewing last night. The moment I fell asleep, I felt much more relaxed than before. I didn't have any thoughts in my heart. I just wanted to spend the whole day with you.

With you." Last night, when all the distracting thoughts were abandoned in his mind, and the moment he let go completely, he realized that everything was so comfortable. It turned out that she understood herself, and it was because she had always hidden the things in her heart too deeply. The corner of her mouth

It rose involuntarily, unable to hide the joy inside.

"At this moment, I have let go of many things, and the long-suppressed pain in my heart has been resolved one by one. I have never truly lived like this."

Never truly lived?

Now, do you feel that when you really let go of the distracting thoughts in your mind, you will not be so tired and worried.

She didn't want to see him who was so tough on the outside, but so fragile in his heart.

In her heart, Murong Haochen has always been a lonely and arrogant person. Everything about him was only like this because of the accidents in his childhood.

Holding his body tightly, he could feel that he was really letting go at this moment, comforting him in the slightest: "You are indeed too tired. You can do whatever you want today, and I will not stop you. If in the future, never

Stop taking it upon yourself."

"But, I'm just worried..."

Some things are more likely to make her panic once they happen.

"Those ministers, once they knew that I had the cold, how could they dare to say anything more." He raised his eyes to look at her, slowly moved forward and kissed her neck, comforting her in a friendly voice. "There is no need to worry about this matter."

"

The kiss was so numb that she couldn't help but hold on to his sleeves tightly. With squirming lips, she slowly said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried about whether I will be called a beauty and a disaster."

."

After hearing this, Murong Haochen turned around and lowered her under him again. He clasped his fingers tightly with one hand and put it against her cheek calmly. He smiled lightly and said with great comfort: "If they really say that, I will

I just want to see what harm you, this troublemaker, will do to me?"

"I thought you would kill them in anger."

She didn't want to be his trouble, and she didn't want to be criticized by the world.

She only hoped that he could be a good emperor who thought about the people of Li, instead of spending all day with a woman.

Perhaps, he should know all this in his heart, so why does he act so nonchalantly?

"I promised you that I would never act impulsively in the future."

Never impulsive?

But she still didn't believe it. Once he got angry, there was no way he could calm down, so how could he truly say "never"?

Murong Haochen stared into those thoughtful eyes, leaned over and kissed her eyelids, and murmured in her ear: "Lan'er, I'm really tired today, can you let me nestle in your arms and feel safe and sound?"

Take a rest."

"Then, rest peacefully. Don't think about anything."

She lowered her eyes and looked at him resting in her arms. This was the first time she had seen him so tired. She moved gently and stroked his hair slowly.

Why, she could always feel that there was something else about him that she never told her. There seemed to be too much hidden in him.

But his secret is a secret that is difficult to reveal.

But she never thought that one day, her heart would be completely occupied by him.

But this sense of familiarity feels like we have known each other for a long, long time...

"Tell me, why did the emperor suddenly get cold?"

"The emperor has been busy with government affairs these days. He must have been overworked."

"..."

After hearing the discussion between them, Murong Haoli walked in the main hall with an extremely indifferent expression.

Today, I looked at the dragon chair in front of me. Originally, this position belonged to me, but now it was him, not Murong Haochen, who was sitting on it.

His father had always been partial, but because he was the niece of the Empress Dowager and felt guilty about Murong Haochen's mother-in-law, how could it be his turn to take the throne?

He will always be just a concubine, how can he be compared with a legitimate son.

Ye Xunyu, who was passing by him, frowned for a moment and then stopped and said, "Master Ye, I have a good relationship with the imperial brother, why haven't you ever thought of visiting him?"

When Ye Xunyu heard this, he immediately turned around and bowed his hands and said: "The Sixth Prince forgot that the Emperor is unwell and has someone to take care of him. No minister can do that."

Although he didn't know why the emperor didn't go to court today, he wouldn't believe it if he said it was due to the cold.

If he is with Lan'er, he will naturally know it.

Someone will take care of you?

Murong Haoli secretly smiled disdainfully, his heavy eyes slightly swaying with a different kind of thought: "Presumably, this person is Chen Zhaoyi."

Ye Xunyu smiled lightly and did not answer him: "If the Sixth Prince has nothing to say, I will leave first."
