"I'm afraid of losing you!" He held her arm tightly.
She rested her head on his shoulder and whispered: "You don't have to be afraid, I will never leave you, because I am absolutely sure, Mo Chuan, you have to believe me, I never fight a battle that I am not sure about, and I never fight a battle that I am not sure about. Take risks you shouldn’t take.”
"But this time you were too bold and took the liberty to make your own decisions! No matter what, you must not do this next time." He made a serious face.
If he doesn't restrain her, this girl will become lawless. She has made him fearful this time, but he can no longer bear such torture.
"Yes, sir, I don't dare anymore, not anymore." She smiled and stuck out her tongue.
The two of them talked, and her voice became lower and lower, her eyes widened, her expression sleepy, and finally she leaned into his arms and fell asleep unconsciously.
She hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, and it was only now that she finally let go. She slept soundly and sweetly, without even having a dream.
Mo Chuan stared at the blue eyes under her eyes, feeling pity in his heart, and gently held her head against his chest to make her sleep more comfortably.
Even though he was just holding her, he already felt peaceful and happy in his heart.
He thought to himself: No matter whether others admit the wedding last night or not, in my heart, I already regard her as my wife. No matter who wants to break us up, I will never allow it!

The emperor is missing!
What Mo Chuan didn't know was that he had left Kyoto for two days and two nights and had not returned, which had caused great panic in the palace.
Empress Dowager Zhou was like an ant on a hot pot, restless in the Shoukang Palace. The people she sent out to inquire about the news came back one after another, saying that the whereabouts of the emperor could not be found.
Every time she heard someone's report, her face became gloomier. She had hardly closed her eyes for the past two days and two nights. Her eyes were all red and she looked haggard, as if she would fall down at any time if she was caught in the wind. All she could see was Sujin was worried.
"The Queen Mother, you'd better sleep for a while. When you wake up, the Emperor may return to the palace."
"Su Jin, do you think the emperor will...will he take that girl with him?"
Queen Mother Zhou grabbed Su Jin's hand, her fingertips were cold and trembling, her eyes were empty and lifeless.
This was what worried her most.
"Of course not!" Su Jin was startled and shook her head repeatedly, "The Queen Mother, you are too worried. The emperor is not the kind of irresponsible person. He will never do such an unmeasured thing..."
Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand to interrupt her, and rubbed her forehead tiredly: "Have he done too many unmeasured things? Ever since he met that girl from the Shen family, he has never done anything measured! "
As she spoke, she became angry again and had a splitting headache.
Su Jin quickly helped her sit in the chair, and while rubbing her temples, she raised her voice and shouted: "Quickly call the imperial doctor, please ask the imperial doctor Zhang to come!"
Queen Mother Zhou closed her eyes and drank a cup of calming tea handed over by Su Jin, but she still felt upset.
"Where's that dog slave, Xiaosi? Why haven't you reported back yet?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Xiao Si came to Shoukang Palace early this morning and replied. He said there has been no news from the Emperor. I think he is telling the truth. His eyes are red and swollen, and he has obviously not slept a wink. At that time, the Queen Mother, you happened to be having a rest and had just fallen asleep, so I didn’t dare to disturb you, so I sent my mistress to go find the emperor.”
