Chapter 30. Maybe sleepwalking

Almond clutched the bitten neck, tears streaming out of her eyes.

Her pretty face was pale, her eyes were rippling, and she was so pitiful.

She was still wearing the bright red robe she wore last night, which was reflected on the bright yellow bed at this time, which was particularly charming and enchanting.

Sheng Jingyu rubbed her long hair, which had been a little disheveled after a night's sleep, and let it fall loose on the pillow.

No matter how you look at it, she looks like a woman, thrillingly beautiful and breathtaking.

"You're a goblin......"

Sheng Jingyu said in a hoarse voice.

She was really dishonest last night, writhing in his arms and torturing him for half the night.

He couldn't help it anymore, so he pressed her under his legs and fixed her in his arms, and she slept honestly.

Shouldn't he get something back today?

Almond looked at the dark forbearance in Sheng Jingyu's eyes, and felt a little stunned.

Seeing that handsome face getting closer and closer to her, infinitely enlarged in front of her eyes, Almond panicked a little.

Your Majesty looks so scary now......

What to do......

Almond was hesitating whether to push the person in front of him or not, and he was summoned by someone outside the hall.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, are you awake? It was the voice of Gonggong Zhu.

Taking advantage of Sheng Jingyu's stunned look, Almond quickly crawled out from under him, turned over and got out of bed, and stood aside in an orderly manner.

Sheng Jingyu glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asks to see you."

Sheng Jingyu sat down on his back when he heard this, "Xuan." ”

Fu Jungu, who was dressed in white, stepped into the inner hall and was stunned for a moment when he saw the almonds beside the bed.

But it was only for a moment, and he quickly reacted and explained his intention.

"The Assassin was caught yesterday and is still being interrogated. Due to His Majesty's injury, the minister did not come to disturb His Majesty's rest. ”

Sheng Jingyu nodded, "Did you ask something?" ”

The assassin was very tight-mouthed and was about to kill himself, but was stopped by the jailers. Four guards now take turns guarding him to ensure that there are no accidents. ”

Sheng Jingyu had already guessed that this would be the result, and it was not surprising.

"Check it out to me, how he got into the palace, how he avoided so many guards, and how he could carry a bow and arrows. There is also his background, who he has been in contact with, whether he has any family, what he did before, all go and check it. ”

"The minister has already sent someone to investigate."

"Good. I want to see if the people behind this scene can really be seamless. ”

Almond listened to the conversation between the two, and secretly said that the last worry had really come true.

With two unsuccessful assassinations in a row, will the people behind the scenes choose to go against the wind or take a step back on the cusp?

In short, the palace is not absolutely safe, and His Majesty's safety must be taken care of everywhere.

After Fu Jungu retreated, the palace maids came in with breakfast.

Sheng Jingyu rarely went to the morning court today, so he had breakfast in Jing'an Palace.

Almond swallowed as he looked at the table full of delicacies.

She hadn't eaten yet, and now her stomach was rumbling in protest.

Seeing that Sheng Jingyu was about to take chopsticks, Almond had the audacity to stop him.

"Your Majesty, you wait. The minions first try to see if it is poisonous. ”

She quickly picked up the chopsticks on the table and tried all the dishes.

Then under Sheng Jingyu's surprised gaze, he hiccuped.

Her face flushed all at once, and she was embarrassed to death.

"Haha......"

Sheng Jingyu laughed unkindly, and then ordered: "Bring another pair of chopsticks in." ”

After the palace maid on the side received the order, Sheng Jingyu pushed the dishes and chopsticks in front of Almond.

Almond was stunned, but listened to him.

"If you want to eat, you can eat, why be in such a hurry, raise you, I can still afford it. As for the drug test, the food will be tested with a silver needle before it is served, which is safe. ”

After a pause, he continued with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Besides, if it's poisonous, what's the use of you trying it? Some poisons don't come on immediately, so aren't you sacrificing your life in vain? ”

Almond was speechless, and he felt a little aggrieved.

She said glutinously: "Minion...... The minions didn't think so much. I'm just worried about Your Majesty. ”

Sheng Jingyu sighed: "I know, let's eat with me." ”

The almonds were also hungry, so they didn't refuse, and sat down to eat them in small bites.

"Why do you look so much like that rabbit when you eat?"

She was eating happily when the person next to her suddenly said.

Rabbit? In vain?

"Your Majesty, did you help me feed it for nothing yesterday?"

Otherwise, how would he know how to eat rabbits.

Sheng Jingyu choked for a moment, "How can I be idle to feed rabbits?" Naturally, your rabbit has a palace maid to help you feed it. ”

Hearing that Bai Bai was not hungry, Almond relieved his heart.

I didn't ask again, how did Your Majesty know that it was the palace maid who fed it in vain.

Your Majesty also wants to save face, maybe Your Majesty likes cuteness like her.

After breakfast, Sheng Jingyu was about to go out, and Almond was once again bold enough to chase after him.

"Your Majesty, if you don't have a good rest, where are you going?"

"Where am I going, I have to tell you? Zhu Shi doesn't care much about you. ”

Almonds were scared, and they were not afraid.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if there are many assassins in the palace now, I don't worry about you."

"What's the use of you following me?" Saying that, Sheng Jingyu still slowed down and sighed, "That's it!" You follow. ”

Almond rejoiced, following him closely.

has been following this all day, and Sheng Jingyu has been dealing with official business.

The palace was calm and quiet, and there was nothing going on, so Almond was relieved.

At night, Sheng Jingyu wore a bed robe, and after reviewing the folds in the dormitory, after he finished reading, it was already extremely dark.

Almond stood aside, yawning, her eyelids drooping listlessly.

It wasn't until Sheng Jingyu stood up that she came back to her senses.

"Your Majesty, are you going to rest?"

Sheng Jingyu said "um".

"The minion has gone back too."

Almond was already sleepy, and was about to retreat when he heard the words, but his arm was grabbed.

"Aren't you going to guard me? That's not going to work? ”

Almond said helplessly: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to rest?" There's no way I'm going to put you to sleep. ”

"Why not? Didn't you sleep with me last night? Sheng Jingyu's voice was cold.

Hearing this, Almond was so frightened that she fell asleep, and her whole body froze in place.

Your Majesty...... Your Majesty knows?

Now that she knows, she can only apologize honestly, hoping for a frank and lenient confession.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, I didn't mean to. I don't know how I got to bed, probably...... Maybe sleepwalking, right? ”

Almond whispered more and more, and in the end, he was not sure.

Sheng Jingyu looked at her for a long time, and saw that she lowered her head in shame.

Sleepwalking? What nonsense is the little scholar talking about?

Sheng Jingyu was just joking with her, thinking of the torture last night, he couldn't bear it again.

He sighed, "That's it, you can go back." ”

Hey? Your Majesty doesn't punish her?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, then you can rest sooner."

Almond rejoiced, saluted, turned and ran away.
