That kind of smile was too gentle, and for a moment Zhong Lishuo thought he was still in a dream. She stared blankly at the person hugging her, and her eyes met for a while before realizing that she was in the embrace of the queen. A burst of heat rushed from his heart to his forehead, burning Zhong Lishuo's ears red. She subconsciously broke free from Xuan Jingchen's embrace, but fell back into Xuan Jingchen's embrace with a light hiss because of the injury on her shoulder.
"Be careful." Xuan Jingchen immediately embraced her, supported her, looked at her wound with concern, and said, "Your Highness is still injured, please don't move."
As soon as Zhong Lishuo heard it, he knew that she had recognized him. A heart was surprised and delighted, beating non-stop. Her ears were red, even her cheeks were hot, and her head was a mess. The wound on his shoulder was very painful, but he could bear it. Zhong Lishuo licked his wet lips and said, "Zitong...why are you here?"
There was no need for her to hide or hide, so she called out that title in a dignified manner.
Xuan Jingchen smiled and rolled his eyes, looked at the person in his arms and said, "Come and see Your Highness."
Thousands of thoughts floated through Zhong Lishuo's mind. She wanted to ask Xuan Jingchen if she was blaming her for hiding it for so long, and also wanted to ask her about Yunge last night, but she couldn't ask anything, so she lowered her head and listened to her. His heart beat faster and faster, almost breaking his chest.
She licked her lips, looking thirsty. Xuan Jingchen supported her and said, "I'll pour another cup for His Highness."
After she said that, she would support Zhong Lishuo against the head of the bed and get up to pour water. Zhong Lishuo quickly grabbed her hand and said, "No need."
Xuan Jingchen lowered his eyes and saw that Zhong Lishuo grabbed his hand, and shook it back gently. The queen's not so tender hand was in her palm. The familiar cloves surrounded her from behind. Zhong Lishuo felt very hot, she licked her lips and said, "How long have you been here?"
"It's only for a while." Xuan Jingchen replied, she adjusted her position, held Zhong Li in her arms, and didn't tell the other party that she was watching her sleepless all night.
"Isn't that a sleepless night?" Zhong Lishuo raised his head and looked at her in a panic, "Last night was chaotic, and you have been working hard for the follow-up for a long time, why don't you rest here for a while?"
It seems that there was no life and death in those four years, Zhong Lishuo only thought that he was in the deep palace when he looked at the queen. But at that time, Xuan Jingchen would never hold her like this.
Xuan Jingchen shook his head and said softly, "Sir Lezheng is outside."
Zhong Lishuo was suddenly startled, looked beyond the screen, and a heart raised in his throat. Xuan Jingchen said with a smile: "But she fell asleep, His Highness doesn't want them to know, I won't tell."
Husband and wife for many years, they still have this tacit understanding. So far, Zhong Lishuo has understood that Xuan Jingchen has forgiven him.
She smiled gratefully at Xuan Jingchen and said, "That being the case, I have nothing to do now, and it's almost dawn, Zitong might as well go back to rest first."
Xuan Jingchen looked down at her and sighed, "Does your Highness just want to see me so much?"
"It's not like that." Zhong Lishuo quickly shook his head, looked up at her, and said, "I just..."
She met Xuan Jingchen's eyes, saw the smug smile in her eyes, and said relievedly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much."
She misses the Queen very much, and she thought about it before she left Yuanzhou City. So Zhong Lishuo said frankly, "Since the day Zitong left Yuanzhou, I have been thinking about it every day, wishing I could go north to find you. It's just..."
"Everything is impermanent."
"Zitong, how was Yunge last night? When you left Yuanzhou, I wanted to tell you when you came back."
Zhong Lishuo got up from Xuan Jingchen's arms, turned his body, knelt on the bed, held Xuan Jingchen's hand tremblingly, and said, "Although I have no military commander, no civil servant, and only a broken body. , you are my only beloved wife."
She stared at Xuan Jingchen and said word by word, "If you come back from the north, if I am still alive, would you like to share my head with me?"
She stepped on a cloud song, just to tell the queen this sentence.
Xuan Jingchen looked at her tenderly, with tears in his eyes, and said, "What nonsense did Your Highness say, since I am your wife, I am naturally inseparable from your white head."
Just why are you going so fast.
Her tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and Zhong Lishuo was moved, wiped Xuan Jingchen's cheek with one hand, and choked up, "I'm sorry... it's me... it's me... I've suffered you... "
Xuan Jingchen shook his head, stretched out his hand to wipe Zhong Lishuo's face, and said, "I'm stupid, I didn't recognize His Highness, why bother to blame heaven and others."
"Just come back, Your Highness."
As Xuan Jingchen spoke, Zhong Lishuo couldn't bear it any longer, he took her into his arms, buried his face in her hair, and let the tears flow. After a while, she let go of Xuan Jingchen, wiped the tears from her face, wiped the queen's face with one hand, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet Zitong again today, so don't let the tears flow. Relative."
Xuan Jingchen nodded, "His Royal Highness too, there are still injuries on his body, so don't waste your energy anymore."
Neither of them were overly hypocritical people, and after a few words, they gradually stabilized their minds. Zhong Lishuo finally completed what he had been doing all the time. Looking at Xuan Jingchen in front of him, he smiled shyly, "Seeing Zitong at this moment is like a dream."
"But this title can't be called now, I have to call you Your Majesty." Zhong Lishuo said with a smile.
Xuan Jingchen didn't care about this and said, "Your Highness can call whatever you want."
Zhong Lishuo shook his head and said, "I don't agree with the etiquette. Your Majesty can't call me His Highness. I'm now the youngest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, so I should abide by the rules."
"Then let's just follow His Highness, just like before, how about calling you little gentleman?" Xuan Jingchen thought about it and said so.
Zhong Lishuo was stunned, touched his nose uncomfortably, and said apologetically, "Before, it was my fault."
She apologized again, Xuan Jingchen knew what this was for, and shook his head.
However, Zhong Lishuo sighed, thinking that he had known this before, why did he bother to get close to the Queen before
She should stand in front of the queen and say it clearly, why bother wasting a lot of good time.
As she thought so, there was a faint light leaking in from the window. At the end of the night, they seemed to be separated again. Zhong Lishuo looked out the window hesitantly, and said to Xuan Jingchen, "It's getting late. If Zitong is still here with me, people will find clues. Why don't you go back and rest earlier."
Xuan Jingchen knew this, but she was a little reluctant to bear Zhong Lishuo, she took a good look at Zhong Lishuo and said warmly, "Your Highness was quite frightened last night, sleep a little longer, and when you wake up, I will bring the imperial physician to see you. "
"Yeah." Zhong Lishuo nodded, but he kept holding Xuan Jingchen's hand, without any intention of letting go.
Xuan Jingchen lowered his eyes, looked at Zhong Lishuo's hand, and was reluctant to part for a while. After hesitating for a while, she said to Zhong Lishuo, "If Your Highness does not give up, I will stay with His Highness."
Zhong Lishuo happily nodded and agreed, but he hesitated when he thought of Le Zhengying outside the screen. Xuan Jingchen understood and said softly, "Your Highness, didn't you step on a cloud song last night?"
Zhong Lishuo suddenly realized, yes, her actions last night fell into the eyes of Baiguan, and all the ministers already understood their affection for the queen. If it is known that the queen came to visit her, it can be said that the two are in love.
only…
Zhong Lishuo looked at the queen and said, "I've wronged you." Xuan Jingchen shook his head and replied, "His Royal Highness stepped on the cloud song for me, but I did nothing for His Highness. I admire you, as it should be."
When Zhong Lishuo heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She leaned into the Queen's ear and whispered, "So do I."
She thought about it for a while, and then said to the queen: "I am confused. I mentioned this to my sister earlier, and told her that I like you and want to marry you. She knows this, so Zitong is willing to stay. It's better off."
Yes, she didn't want the Zhenbeihou family to be saddened to learn the truth, and she really regarded herself as Le Zhengsu. For these, everything had to be a natural excuse.
Xuan Jingchen glanced at her in surprise and said, "So, can I stay and accompany Your Highness?"
Zhong Lishuo nodded and said, "Take a rest."
Xuan Jingchen smiled, took off his coat and lay down. Zhong Lishuo was injured, moved his position, turned his head to look at her familiar profile, smelled the fragrance on her body, and said, "Go to sleep."
Xuan Jingchen was indeed sleepy. She lay beside Zhong Lishuo, feeling the temperature from that man, and an indescribable tiredness welled up in her heart. It was as if she had returned to the palace many years ago, next to Zhong Lishuo, she fell into a deep sleep after a while.
The breath of the person beside him gradually calmed down, Zhong Lishuo looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and his heart was at peace. She reached out her hand cautiously, crossed the invisible boundary, and took Xuan Jingchen into her arms.
Xuan Jingchen frowned and buried his face in her arms obediently, making Zhong Lishuo jump for joy.
This person was finally in her arms.
Zhong Lishuo wanted to shout out happily, but she restrained herself and just fell asleep with Xuan Jingchen in her arms.
The sky was getting brighter outside the house, but the two people in the house fell into a dream that couldn't be better.
The sun was getting brighter, and the maids in Xuan Jingchen's bedroom were not summoned for a long time. The daring Magistrate An entered the bedroom, but found that the emperor was not there. With a cold face, she went to the study to look for it, but found that His Majesty was not there, so she asked someone carefully.
Because the queen didn't go back to bed, Attendant An was anxious all morning. In the Anhe Yuan Pian Hall, Le Zhengying, who was knocked unconscious by Feng Bo, woke up and walked around the screen to see the two people lying on the bed.
