The sky gradually brightened, and at dawn, Nian Nian finally fell asleep.

Su Junchu kissed her lightly on the cheek and got up to dress. He still has a lot of things to deal with, especially now that he is preparing to transfer the throne to Li Mo, there are even more affairs to supervise, big and small.

Walking out of the dormitory, Su Junchu saw Zhuzhu and the others guarding outside the palace gate.

He said to Zhuzhu: "The queen has just come back, and she is tired, so you should take good care of her and don't disturb her." You go to the imperial dining room first, let them stew a pot of wolfberry pigeon soup and prepare, and wait until the queen wakes up and sends it over, and you serve the queen to eat well. ”

"Yes!" Zhu Zhu respectfully agreed.

Su Junchu came to the imperial study first, and as soon as he sat down, Xia Qing and Zong Hua walked in.

"The ministers see the emperor!" The two stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Su Junchu asked.

Because last night and Nian Nian reconciled as before, lingering all night. Su Junchu's mood was unprecedentedly comfortable, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't hide the smile, and his tone was very gentle at this time.

"Your Majesty, are you really ready to hand over the throne to Li Mo?" Xia Qing spoke first.

"Yes. This time, I asked Li Mo to come back, for this matter. Su Junchu's tone was very solemn.

"But the emperor, you, the emperor, have done so successfully, all the people support you, and the country and the people are safe. The Ning Dynasty is thriving, and you can't go this way. Xia Qing said eagerly, as Su Junchu's henchman, of course he had to persuade Su Junchu to stay.

"This country should have been Li Mo's, but this time I just returned to the original owner. Don't worry, Li Mo will not be worse than me as an emperor, and maybe he will do better. Su Junchu said with a deep groan.

"If the emperor decides to leave, please allow the ministers to follow him to the death." Xia Qing and Zong Hua glanced at each other and said in unison.

They are iron-hearted and loyal people who have always been loyal to Su Junchu, and now that Su Junchu is leaving the palace, they are naturally unwilling to stay.

What's more, "once a son of heaven and a courtier". In the past, they were all the backbone forces that followed Su Junchu to participate in the bloody suppression of the old dynasty. Now, if Li Mo comes back to be the emperor, their fate may be unimaginable......

Su Junchu looked at them, and he was also quite touched in his heart.

He walked over, patted the shoulders of the two with heavy hands, and said earnestly, "I am reluctant to part with you. It's just that my greatest wish now is to be with Niannian, never ask about mundane things, and spend the days to come. You are all pillars of talent, Li Mo has always been a person who cherishes talents and loves talents, and he is generous-hearted, as long as you treat him loyally, he will definitely not embarrass you, and will entrust you with important tasks. I will emphasize this point when I formally negotiate with him. I still hope that you will stay and help him. Anyway, he is also my brother-in-law now, and this dynasty was also established by me with hard work, and if you help him, you will help me. ”

When Xia Qing and Zong Hua heard Su Junchu say this, they stopped talking, but they were full of emotion in their hearts.

Su Junchu smiled again and said, "Xiaorou is still here, I and Niannian will still come back to the palace at any time to have a look." When the time comes, I can still drink and talk with you, and get drunk. ”

Xia Qing and Zong Hua barely squeezed out a smile on their faces, still sad in their hearts, unable to say anything.

Su Junchu instructed: "Xia Qing, you go to the Taihe Hall now to invite Li Mo over, and I want to talk to him in detail." Zonghua, you go and sue Gonggong Xu, today's early dynasty has been postponed. When to go to court, let the ministers wait for the notice. ”

Xia Qing and Zong Hua each took their orders, and Su Junchu returned to the case and sat down, sorting out the treaty to be negotiated with Li Mo.

As the sun rose, Nian Nian slowly opened his eyes. There was no figure of Su Junchu beside him, and he was sore all over.

The qiē that happened last night, one by one, replayed in her mind, gradually became clearer and clearer. It seems that at this moment, the restraining aura that fills the house has not completely dissipated. Niannian's face burned hot.

She rubbed her swollen eyes, sat up, and began to dress slowly.

Zhuzhu walked in and saw Nian Nian getting up, and immediately called out in surprise: "Niangniang, you are awake." ”

"Zhuzhu, after I'm gone, you'll all be fine." Nian Nian looked at Zhuzhu and smiled sweetly.

"Mother, to be honest, it's not good at all. We miss you so much...... Also, the day you just left, the emperor was so scary that he almost killed us. Zhuzhu said with red eyes, and while coming over to help Niannian sort out her clothes, she laughed again: "Niangniang is back now, it's fine." The emperor is really kind to you, and he helped you wash your feet last night......"

"Uh...... Is it? I slept so soundly last night that I didn't know anything. Nian Nian said embarrassedly, her cheeks slightly hot.

"Oh, mother, what's going on here? I've been bitten by a night bug, so I'm going to get you some medicine to wipe it. But I didn't want Zhuzhu to suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.

Nian Nian was startled, and when she followed Zhuzhu's gaze, she found that her delicate neck and chest were covered with fine, dark purple red marks.

It was clearly the kiss marks left on Su Junchu's body when she was passionate yesterday...... But Zhuzhu, an untrained little girl, thought she was bitten by an insect.

Niannian's face was hot and red again, she quickly buttoned her clothes, covered the ambiguous and infinite traces on her body, and said with a smile: "It's okay...... It may be that my skin is a little bit allergic, don't worry about it, it will be fine after a while. ”

"Mother, does it really matter? Zhuzhu looked at Niangniang's body so red, a little terrifying. Otherwise, Zhuzhu will go to the Tai Hospital and call the doctor to prescribe some new medicine for you. Zhuzhu is still not at ease, the delicate body of the queen mother, now that there is such a situation, of course you can't ignore it.

"It's really fine! Zhuzhu, the former prince and Miss Su have also returned to the palace, do you know where they are now? I'm going to see them. Nian Nian glared at Zhuzhu lightly, got up and got out of bed, this girl is too enthusiastic and sometimes embarrassing.

"Oh, that Zhuzhu will go to fetch water first and wait for the mother to freshen up. Zhuzhu heard from the people in the palace this morning that the former prince and Miss Su rested in the Taihe Hall last night. Seeing Niannian's resolute attitude, Zhuzhu didn't dare to mention the matter of finding someone to show her skin, so she agreed and went out to bring water to Niannian.

After a while, Nian Nian finished washing. She walked over to the room and sat down in front of the large bronze mirror in front of the dresser, and let Zhuzhu help her comb her long, black and shiny hair like a waterfall.

"Mother, where have you been these days? The emperor was about to go crazy at that time, and in the first few days after you left, the emperor didn't even go to court, and was locked in the imperial study all day. I heard that even the Xue nobles went to look for him, but the emperor didn't see him. Zhuzhu said while combing Nian Nian's hair.

"Oh...... How is the Snow Guiren now? She had been badly injured and was not in good health. Nian Nian asked with a deep groan.

"Yes, when Xue Guiren just followed the emperor back to the palace, Zhuzhu heard from the palace that she seemed to be dying. However, the medicine that the emperor sent someone to find from a place called You Dragon Pavilion was particularly magical, it was like a medicine given by the gods, and Xue Guiren ate it and survived. The emperor is also very good to the Xue nobles, and goes to the Qingxue Palace every day to accompany the Xue nobles to take medicine. However, in Zhuzhu's opinion, the emperor's kindness to Xue Guiren is not as good as half that of Niangniang. The emperor is really afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling when he holds it in his hand, just like a baby. Zhu Zhu's eyebrows fluttered and she said a long way, expressing the infinite excitement in her heart.

Hearing Zhuzhu say that the medicine that Su Junchu sent someone to find from Youlong Pavilion was very divine, Nian Nian couldn't help but think of Zhan Muyan again.

She took out the copper whistle that Zhan Muyan had given her before from her collar, and gently stroked it with her hand, feeling a little gloomy for a while.

He has given Nian Nian so much meticulous care and care, and he has saved Nian Nian's life more than once in critical moments. Zhan Muyan's deep affection for her, maybe in this life, there is nothing to repay for her thoughts......

"Niangniang, you wait a while, Zhuzhu will bring you soup to drink." After helping Niannian comb, Zhuzhu turned around and walked out to serve wolfberry pigeon soup.

Niannian is still letting her thoughts drift at will, and for Zhan Muyan, she has unspeakable guilt and concern in her heart.

But now, she can only bury this inexplicable feeling deep in her heart. After all, she can only love one man, and this person seems to be Su Junchu who has more weight from beginning to end.

Perhaps, she was too brainless, and she fell in love with one at the beginning and decided on that one. Even if she was scarred several times later, she still did not hesitate to moths to put out the fire.

Perhaps, there is really a certain number in the dark, and no matter what, she can't lose the emotional bond with Su Junchu. Therefore, she is destined not to be able to reciprocate with the same affection......

Zhuzhu walked in with a bowl of fragrant soup and sent it to Nian Nian: "Niangniang, eat it while it's hot." ”

"What is this?" Nian Nian frowned slightly, her mind was very confused, and she didn't seem to have any appetite.

"The emperor specially asked the imperial dining room to stew wolfberry pigeon soup for Niangniang, and the emperor also instructed Zhuzhu to serve you to eat well, you must drink it, otherwise Zhuzhu will not do a good job." Zhuzhu hurriedly said, for fear that Nian Nian would not eat.

"Okay, I'll eat, after eating, I'll go to the Taihe Hall to find Xiaorou, and then go to see the Xue Guiren." Nian Nian smiled lightly, she was still very happy about Su Junchu's thoughtfulness.

So, although she didn't like it very much, Nian Nian obediently drank the bowl of soup.

At this time, I heard a chaotic sound from outside the door, and a palace maid ran in and reported: "Niangniang, Miss Su is here, saying that she wants to see you, do you want to see her?" ”

"Of course I'm going to see her, please come in." Nian Nian handed the bowl in his hand to Zhu Zhu, got up and walked outside.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory of Nianchu Palace, Niannian saw Su Xiaorou, standing on the corridor outside the dormitory with an anxious face.

Su Xiaorou didn't sleep well all night, she didn't worry about Niannian, afraid that Niannian would not accept the fact that she was brought back by them after waking up.

After Li Mo was invited by Xia Qing to the imperial study to discuss matters, Su Xiaorou wanted to come over, but she was worried that Niannian was still sleeping, she knew that Niannian loved to sleep lazy.

stayed up until this point, Su Xiaorou really couldn't help but come over to take a look. But he didn't want to, and was stopped outside the dormitory by the palace maid who was missing.

"Xiaorou, come on, let's go inside and talk." Nian Nian walked over and took Su Xiaorou's hand and led her to the dormitory to sit down.

"Niannian, how are you? Don't be mad at us...... I don't know what happened to Zhan Muyan at that time, he insisted that we take you away, and said that he was going out and that he would not come back until we left. Su Xiaorou didn't care about saying anything else, and said directly.

"I ...... Not angry, just surprised. What else did he say that day? Nian Nian was stunned for a moment, and his heart was faintly hurt by something.

"He said he didn't want to see you anymore and that it didn't matter to him whatever decision you made again...... Niannian, did you quarrel? I saw that day when he was on fire. Su Xiaorou looked at Niannian's eyes and asked with concern.

"It's a quarrel...... It's me who is not good, and he won't pay attention to me anymore. Hopefully, he will be able to find his happiness as soon as possible. Nian Nian said with a sigh.

"Then you and the third brother...... How's it going? You guys...... It's not noisy. Su Xiaorou thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

"We're okay, we didn't argue, he apologized to me, and I forgave him." Niannian's face flushed slightly, and he said softly.

"Ah, Niannian, you and the third brother have reconciled! That's great! Su Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief and shouted excitedly, and then remembered Zhan Muyan again, and was still a little uneasy in her heart, so she said again: "It's just ...... Zhan Muyan...... He didn't know what was going on? ”

"Little Rou...... Maybe it's best for him to leave me like this. Nian Nian ended this topic that made her feel ashamed with a simple sentence, and asked Su Xiaorou again: "What about Li Mo?" Why didn't I come with you? ”

He went to the imperial study with the third brother to talk about things. Niannian, are you and the third brother really leaving? To be honest, I'm really worried that if I become the emperor, he and I won't be able to do the same as before. Su Xiaorou said.

"What are you worried about? Worried that Li Mo will take a concubine? Don't worry, Li Mo, he loves you so much, even if he becomes the emperor, he will be wholeheartedly devoted to you. Nian Nian couldn't help but laugh.

"But when he becomes the emperor, he can't help himself, if he really wants to take other women as concubines for some reasons, I can't interfere." Xiao Rou was still a little worried.

"Hehe, if you want to interfere, you can interfere, I don't think Li Mo has the heart and courage to marry another woman. Your little face sank, and he was directly defeated without saying anything. Xiaorou, don't think nonsense, let's go see Xue Ji together. Nian Nian stood up with a smile, took Su Xiaorou's hand and was about to walk out.

"Who's Yukihime?" Su Xiaorou asked.
