Shui Xiu nodded in a trance, and asked again: "Can't the emperor say it?" ”

I said, "You must not mention half a word in front of the emperor." ”

"Huh? ……”

Shui Xiu had a frightened expression on her face, I knew that what happened today had exceeded the limit that a simple palace maid like her could bear, and it involved these assassins, and the slightest carelessness was a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, no wonder she was so afraid.

I thought about it, reached out and gently took her hand, and then lowered my voice and said, "Shui Xiu, the reason why I asked you not to sue the emperor is because on those people's side, there is an emperor's most beloved woman. ”

"Huh?!" Her eyes widened in surprise.

"If the emperor knows, he will definitely snatch that woman back regardless of everything, so that I can't stay by the emperor's side."

"Ah......h

"Only if that woman doesn't come back, the emperor will pamper me and take care of me like this in the past few days, if that woman comes back, the emperor won't even look at me again."

"Ah......h

"I know, you don't want that, do you?"

"Hmmm......"

"So, you must not sue the emperor about this matter, you must help me hide it, otherwise-"

Hearing this, Shui Xiucai seemed to suddenly understand, and hurriedly said, "Girl, I know." I will not tell anyone about this today, and I will not let that woman come back and fight with you. ”

I patted the back of her hand and smiled a little tiredly.

It was indeed a bit distracting to talk to Mo Tieyi for so long, but fortunately, the carriage walked very steadily, and I slept on it to feel a little more energetic, Shui Xiu helped me all the way back, and said with a secret smile as she walked: "I didn't eat anything just now, girl, I'm so hungry." ”

I laughed, "Me too." Later, you can go to the kitchen and see what's left. ”

"Okay."

The two of them were talking and laughing, but when they walked to the door of our courtyard and looked up, they saw that Father-in-law Yu was standing outside with two guards, the door was closed, but the candlelight could be seen flickering inside from the window.

I was stunned for a moment, but Father-in-law Yu had already greeted me: "Yo, why did the young girl come back now." ”

"Father-in-law, this is—"

"The emperor is inside."

"Ah......?"

Father-in-law Yu glanced at us and said with a slight reproach: "The emperor originally wanted to have dinner with you, look at you, why did you come back so late." ”

“……”

I was speechless for a while, and stood at the door in a daze, but it was Father-in-law Yu who pushed me: "Come in." ”

Shui Xiu carefully pushed open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw the man in the middle of the room, sitting at the table with a fold in his hand, and there were several folds piled up on the table, and the candle flame was flickering, reflecting a faint orange-red light on his face, and in such a night, there was a strange tenderness.

I stood in the doorway, in a trance for a moment......

When he heard the door being pushed, he turned to look at us: "You're back." ”

"Slaves and maids visit the emperor."

Shui Xiu and I both knelt down, and he got up and came over to help me up, and said to Shui Xiu: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

He looked down at me and smiled slightly: "After a day of going out to play, my face is much better." ”

I lowered my head and said softly, "It's the slave who is greedy for fun, and she came back so late." ”

"It's okay," he said lightly, "I also think that you are quiet here, and there are not so many people here." ”

He led me slowly to the table and sat down, Shui Xiu was also clever, and after helping me over, he gave him a blessing, turned around and walked out, and closed the door, Pei Yuanhao looked at me again by candlelight, and said, "I came back so late, where did I go to play?" ”

"......" I thought for a moment and said, "February red." ”

"February Red?"

"A very famous restaurant in Yangzhou." I said and looked at him again, in fact, I knew that he must have known where I had been, and the best way to hide in front of someone like him was to tell the truth, and the more truthful it was, the better.

He smiled and said, "I've heard of it, a place where only dignitaries can go." ”

I said softly cautiously: "Huang Ye once took the slave maid there, and the boss there still recognized the slave maid. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as Huang Tianba was mentioned, his face sank without a trace, like a shadow shining when the candle flame was flickering, he smiled after being silent for a while, and then picked up the fold in his hand and looked at it, as if he said casually: "How are things?" ”

"It tastes good, it's a different taste than the Imperial Dining Room."

As I spoke, I poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to him, he raised his head and looked at me, and I smiled: "When the affairs in the south are dealt with, the emperor has leisure, and the emperor and the slave maid will go together." There is a ambergris stewed parrot tongue there, which is a famous dish there, and the emperor must try it. ”

He looked at me, the orange candlelight shining on his face, as if dyed with warmth, and he smiled: "Okay." ”

After speaking, he no longer spoke, but lowered his head and looked at the fold seriously, I didn't quarrel with him, sat quietly, when he was about to put down the pen, he carefully helped him study the ink, and after a while, the fold was finished.

At this time, it was time for him to leave and accompany Liu Zhaoyi.

But tonight, he closed the last fold and put it on the table, then turned to look at me, his eyes slightly burning: "Rest early." ”

"......" I was stunned for a moment, he was already standing up, reaching out and taking my wrist and walking towards the inner room.

When I was about to walk to the bed, I froze and stopped: "Your Majesty......"

He looked back at me.

I reluctantly made a smile: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to accompany Liu Zhaoyi tonight?" ”

He slowly turned around and walked up to me, looking down at me, "I want to stay here tonight." ”

This time, not only the body stiffened, but even the smile on his face froze.

Pei Yuanhao sighed softly, stepped forward, one hand had already wrapped around my waist and gently put me into his arms, looked down at my eyes, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

I lowered my head, my eyes flashing to avoid him, but there was no distance between the two of them, not only was my body close together, but I could even feel the beating heart under his chest, just like my heart, beating hard, I trembled slightly: "I-I haven't-"

"Nothing? Not ready yet? ”

“……”

"Since you promised me that you want to start over, why can't you?"

“……”

Yes, since he promised him, since he wanted to start over, there was really nothing wrong with it.

But when I looked up at his hot eyes, I instinctively resisted.

I had a miscarriage, but it was only a few months ago, and that blood-stained night, even if I wanted to forget, I would still fall asleep when I was at my most vulnerable, and even in my dreams, I could smell the strong smell of blood, with the smell of death, which would drown me at any time.

“…… No," I shuddered and shook my head, "I-"

Before he finished speaking, the hand holding my waist was slightly forced, making me cling to his body more closely, he looked down at my eyes, and said with a burning voice: "I said that I will not hurt you again." ”

“……”

"I won't hurt you."

“……”

I couldn't speak, I looked at him with wide eyes, and there seemed to be some pain in his dark eyes, and he stared at me for a long time, and then slowly lowered his head and printed my lips.

The warm snort blew on my face with a familiar taste, I was kissed by him in a daze, the slightly opened lips fell so lightly, he entered his mouth and provoked my tongue, but it was still soft, the feeling of the lips and tongue grinding made people feel that the back was hot, he was getting harder and harder, harder and harder, and then hugged me up.

His clothes fell to the ground disheveled, and he was trampled mercilessly, his steps were as chaotic as his breathing, but the movements of holding me were still very gentle.

Restrained gentleness.

I felt a chill when the silk brocade quilt was attached to my naked back, and I opened my eyes wide as I watched his tall figure slowly press down, and a huge haze enveloped me.

When people encounter danger, they will always subconsciously close their eyes, 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 kissed me in the eye.

"If you're really scared, close your eyes."

“……”

"But I won't hurt you."

“……”

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

"Really."

“……”

I lowered my eyelids, felt his hot body clinging to me, I could almost feel the blood rushing under the tight skin, as if it was about to burn at any moment, I bit my lower lip, and it was a long time before I slowly looked up at him.

The hands on both sides of his body were weak from his light kiss, and only then did they lift up slightly, trembling a little, and climbed up to his shoulders.

“……！”

He seemed to freeze as well, looking down at me.

I didn't say anything and looked at him as well.

The words he said with Shui Xiu may not be true.

I'm not as cold as I seem on the surface, I'm not sad, I'm not jealous, I don't hurt, I just want to make myself look less miserable when I'm sad, jealous, and painful.

But now, I want to give it a try.

Just this once.

He looked down into my eyes, looking intently, as if he wanted to put my whole person into his eyes and never let it out again, after a long time, he suddenly leaned down and bit my lip hard, and his hot body pressed against my body tightly, and suddenly the hot feeling surged up like a tide, almost burning people's sanity.
