She thought that they were friends, if not close lovers.

Judging from his demeanor, they are at most, and they can be regarded as short-term collaborators of interests...

That's right, today he had a whim, risked giving Chen Jingshan the opportunity to kill people, and accompanied him to the yamen, and when he told Lin Fu Yin about right and wrong in front of a group of people, he didn't think about quietly discussing with her.

Maybe in his heart, she wasn't a reliable partner...

Chi Xinian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and simply extended the time for sword practice by half an hour.

She thought that he didn't really think of her as his own anyway, and if she could go back to the bedroom after he rested, she could avoid the embarrassment of two unfamiliar people alone.

But when she washed off her exhaustion and returned to the bedroom, she found that there were still two lamps left in the room, and the person who was supposed to rest did not fall asleep, but was bored holding a spare book and leaning on the bedside to read it, as if to pass the time...

"Done? Then come and rest. Hearing someone push the door inside, Yan Chujing immediately put away his lazy demeanor, closed his book and beckoned to the pool.

His demeanor is natural, his movements are smooth, and there is no trace of hypocrisy. It's as if he just had a cold heart to guard against the person next to the pillow that it was not him.

If it weren't for Chi Xinian's subconscious glance when she approached the bedside, she would almost have thought that the previous unpleasantness was just an illusion caused by being too tired.

"Since Your Majesty is not mentally prepared, why do you force yourself to sleep with me?" After taking off his outer robe, Chi Xinian did not immediately turn over and get on the bed, but sighed lightly and sat down against the edge of the bed, "Fengqi Palace is very large, and there are countless rooms, you can pick it up and live, does Your Majesty understand what I mean?" ”

"I don't understand." Yan Chujing instantly realized that she was reminding him that they could sleep in separate rooms.

But when he spoke, he still subconsciously pretended to be confused, and did not hesitate to condense a little grievance, and looked into her eyes in a daze, "We are husband and wife, we should have stayed together, no matter how many rooms there are in Fengqi Palace, what does it have to do with us?" ”

"Husband and wife?" Ji Xinian thought it was funny.

What kind of husband and wife are they? Under the same roof, but can't even open their hearts, such a couple may not be as good as friends who live together...

"Don't you think so?" Seeing that Chi Xinian's demeanor was different, the grievances on Yan Chujing's face suddenly became stronger.

His slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and his beautiful glass pupils turned slightly, and infinite sorrow flowed from them. A pair of pale pink lips opened slightly, and then tangled in one place, wanting to speak.

On the surface, he looks like an abandoned beast who wants to win back the heart of his master.

But in fact, his mind had already turned away with Chi Xinian's words - this was the second time she had made it clear to him, which showed that she really wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

In fact, judging from her recent performance, she does have a heartfelt heart for him, and she is qualified to be his accomplice in the court. He could even imagine what kind of benefits he could have with her help.

But... He was unwilling to admit his purpose and did not want to hand over the initiative to others.

After thinking about it, Yan Chujing finally decided to take half a step back.

He rolled his eyes, and there was a hint of grief in his eyes: "I am optimistic about your family background, but this does not conflict with my liking of you. ”
