The hand rope was already worn, but Xiao Liulang's hand holding her wrist never loosened.
Her lithe wrist rests on her palm, incredibly soft, making people want to knead gently.
This snow-white and delicate Xiaohao wrist ignited a flame in his chest, burning his blood to churn.
If a year ago, Xiao Liulang would have let go immediately, but now he can't let go.
He had never experienced such a thing, and had never been to a place he shouldn't go, but occasionally Feng Lin would talk about a topic between men in front of him and Lin Chengye.
He knew that it was normal for a man to have such thoughts, but he wasn't sure if his thoughts towards her were just out of a man's instinct, or if he really towards her—
"Does it look good?" Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at him.
Catching his eyes off guard, Xiao Liulang was so flustered that his own thoughts were seen through.
Gu Jiao raised her left wrist and fiddled with the small jade on the red rope with her right hand: "I think it looks good too!"
Seeing that Xiao Liulang really liked her, the corners of his lips twitched unconsciously.
Then Xiao Liulang saw her turn around and put away a table of jewelry. Those jewelry were more valuable than this red rope, but she only wore what he gave.
Xiao Liulang's eyes flashed a trace of movement that he hadn't even noticed.
Gu Jiao closed the box and opened the door, intending to put it in the highest drawer, but found that she was too short to reach.
Xiao Liulang came over and planned to help her put it on, but unexpectedly she jumped on the spot and put the box away.
After she put it down, Gu Jiao saw Xiao Liulang's hand that was frozen in the air. She rolled her eyes, jumped up and swept the box down: "Oh, I didn't stabilize!"
Xiao Liulang: "..."
Xiao Liulang put the box on it.
He was tall and had long arms, and he put the box in a deep, deep inner layer without much effort.
What Xiao Liulang didn't know was that when Gu Jiao looked up and watched him do all this, she was also shocked.
She clearly remembered that when he first moved to Bishui Hutong, he couldn't reach here, and he only had a youthful air.
But at that moment, she clearly felt the charm and breath of an adult man.
In fact, not only Xiao Liulang thinks so, but even Gu Jiao is deeply aware that the wolf cub brought back by "herself" has grown up.
The bed in the West Room has not been repaired, and Xiao Liulang is still resting in the East Room tonight.
Gu Jiao still fell asleep next to the pillow, Xiao Liulang didn't fall asleep so quickly, he lay beside Gu Jiao and counted Zu rate in his mind for a while.
Suddenly, a small arm came up and pressed against his chest, interrupting his thoughts.
The weather is dry and the weather is dry, so be careful with candles. In order to avoid gunfire, they had better sleep far away.
He gently took her small arm down.
But the next second, her legs came up again.
Xiao Liulang took a deep breath and helplessly put her legs down gently.
But after a while, her whole body was pressed over, her body was turned sideways, and her small head was resting in his arms.
"Master."
She groaned vaguely.
Xiao Liulang's hand paused and stopped pushing her away. He looked down at her and found that she slept soundly, and the words of her husband just now were nothing but a dream.
Xiao Liulang was dumbfounded.
However, calling him in the dream, does it mean that this girl also has some thoughts on him
She never called the clearance in her dream, did she
"clearance."
Gu Jiao let out a faint cry.
Xiao Liulang suddenly said, "…"
…
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the entire imperial city fell into a deep sleep.
However, in the Huaqing Palace, the emperor was unable to sleep.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Wei walked over with a lantern, "Can't you sleep again? Do you want a servant to go to the imperial doctor?"
The emperor slept in Bishui Hutong for one night, and then fell asleep peacefully for several days, but tonight, it was difficult for him to sleep again.
The emperor sat up and waved his hand: "No need, the imperial doctor's medicine won't work."
Duke Wei said, "Then... the servant asked the imperial kitchen to cook you something to eat?"
"I can't eat it." The emperor stepped down from the dragon couch, "I'll take a look at the excerpt."
Eunuch Wei said bitterly: "Don't look at it, Your Majesty, even if you can't sleep, just lie down, you're resting anyway."
The emperor sat down behind the desk: "What's the use of lying down and can't fall asleep? Stop talking nonsense, and bring the book."
"...Yes." Eunuch Wei reluctantly responded, and went to the imperial study to bring a stack of memorials in person.
The emperor pinched his aching brows, took a memorial and began to review it.
Eunuch Wei saw that the emperor's face was not very good, so he quietly asked for the imperial doctor.
Fortunately, he invited him, because just when the emperor had approved the third book, he was exhausted and fell down.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
Eunuch Wei's voice grew farther and farther, and the emperor closed his eyes, completely dizzy.
The emperor was awakened by a rustling wind chime. When he opened his eyes, he felt a dazzling sunlight open. He raised his hand to block it. After getting used to the light, he realized that he was not lying on the bed of Huaqing Palace.
"This is..." he sat up, "someone!"
"His Majesty."
It was not Eunuch Wei who came, but Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing changed out of Shitai's clothes and wore a gorgeous palace attire. Her hair was also long, and she was wearing a beautiful bun, full of pearl hairpins, and Eguanbo belt.
"Your Majesty, you are awake." Concubine Jing sat down beside the bed and looked at him with concern.
"Mother Jing..." The emperor looked at her blankly, "Where is this?"
Concubine Jing smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty has been dizzy for so long, I'm afraid it's not confusing, this is Huaqing Palace."
How did the Huaqing Palace become like this
What happened
The emperor looked at Concubine Jing in confusion, Concubine Jing beckoned to the palace staff, and the palace staff presented a bowl of soup.
Concubine Jing held up the medicine bowl, scooped a spoonful and fed it to the emperor's mouth: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."
The emperor looked at the bowl of dark concoction, and suddenly, something seemed to be wriggling in the bowl!
An extremely strong panic flashed across the emperor's heart!
"What's wrong? Your Majesty, drink the medicine." Concubine Jing looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The emperor looked at Concubine Jing, and then at what was the wriggling concoction in the bowl. His stomach rolled with disgust. He knocked over the medicine bowl, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
However, he didn't have much strength, and his legs fell to the ground.
Concubine Jing looked down at him condescendingly, pinched his chin, and poured the terrifying bowl of soup into his mouth—
"don't want-"
The emperor shuddered and opened his eyes!
He looked at the familiar tent and looked at the familiar bed in a cold sweat.
It's his dragon bed.
It is Huaqing Palace.
He sat up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just had another nightmare...
However, he is not reviewing the memorial, why is he lying on the dragon bed
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wei picked out the bright yellow curtain, hung it with hooks, and said to the emperor, "You fainted when you were approving the memorial, and scared the servants to death."
The emperor rubbed his heart with lingering fears.
Eunuch Wei gave the emperor a complicated look: "Your Majesty, have you had a nightmare again?"
The emperor said indifferently: "I'm fine, what time is it, is it time to go to the morning court?"
Where is this okay? He was drenched in cold sweat.
Eunuch Wei said distressedly: "Your Majesty, you can't toss your body like this any more. When the imperial doctor gave you a pulse, he said that your dragon body has suffered a serious loss. You should rest a lot, and you should not worry about the early morning."
"That won't work... cough, cough!" The emperor coughed violently in the middle of his words.
"Where's the medicine? Is the medicine ready?" Eunuch Wei hurriedly urged the little eunuch in the hall.
The little eunuch hurriedly said, "The servant will go and have a look!"
"The medicine is here!"
With a familiar voice, a bowl of steaming soup was presented to the emperor.
The emperor coughed violently and reached out to receive the medicine, but when he saw the hand holding the medicine bowl, his body suddenly paused.
He followed the hand to look at the other's face, and the concerned look overlapped exactly with the face in the dream.
The dark concoction seemed to move that night.
The emperor's color changed suddenly, and he knocked over the medicine bowl just like in a dream!
The hot concoction splashed onto Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing screamed from the heat, and the back of her hands and wrists instantly turned red.
"Empress Concubine—" Mama Cai turned pale in shock!
The emperor jumped out of bed abruptly, retreating at least ten paces away from Princess Jing like he was avoiding some plague god.
Concubine Jing covered the back of her red and swollen hand and looked at the emperor, her eyes full of injuries: "Your Majesty, it's me..."
The emperor couldn't tell whether it was a reality or a dream for a while. He gasped for breath and looked at Concubine Jing in horror and vigilance.
Eunuch Wei was a little dumbfounded by this scene, what's the situation? Why did Your Majesty treat the concubine like this all of a sudden
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei stepped forward cautiously.
Concubine Jing also stood up and walked towards the emperor with red eyes.
"Don't let her come!" the emperor shouted.
Eunuch Wei and the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall looked at each other, and neither of them understood what had happened.
At this moment, Eunuch Qin's voice came from outside the hall: "The Queen Mother is here—"
The palace people knelt on the ground.
Eunuch Wei also hurriedly knelt down.
When Empress Dowager Zhuang, dressed in a phoenix robe, walked into the bedroom of Huaqing Palace, the emperor almost rushed over without thinking: "Empress Mother - save me -"
He threw himself into Empress Dowager Zhuang's arms in front of everyone.
Empress Dowager Zhuang was almost knocked down by him!
It's getting old, it sucks!
Do you still think that you are a small headroom, don't you have any points in your heart for how heavy you are
Empress Dowager Zhuang picked up a forefinger and pushed the emperor away from her arms against the emperor's head, but the emperor hugged her tightly: "Mother... Mother..."
Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes in disgust.
Concubine Jing watched this scene and pinched her fingers slightly.
No one dared to step forward to pull the emperor, and Empress Dowager Zhuang couldn't push it away, so she was hugged by the emperor for a long time.
I don't know if Empress Dowager Zhuang had a reassuring aura, the emperor's emotions calmed down little by little, the panic in his heart gradually dissipated, and he gradually regained his senses.
He finally realized what he had done. He let go of Empress Zhuang with a sigh, and took a few steps back suddenly. He didn't stop, and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei was quick-witted and supported him in time.
He awkwardly grabbed Eunuch Wei's hand and stood up, embarrassed.
He actually hugged this poisonous woman and called her mother!
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him with contempt and said, "What is the emperor's madness this morning?"
The emperor choked hard.
As expected of a poisonous woman, she speaks so viciously!
He was just crazy to throw himself into this poisonous woman's arms!
Lost someone!
Concubine Jing was sad and worried and said, "Your Majesty had a nightmare and was frightened, did you not frighten the Queen Mother?"
Eunuch Wei frowned, how did the concubine know that His Majesty had a nightmare
Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes at the emperor: "I'm not scared, but I'm disgusted."
The emperor gritted his teeth in anger!
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Concubine Jing looked at him uneasily.
The emperor has regained his senses now, and naturally he will no longer confuse reality with dreams. He looked at the back of Concubine Jing's red hand, and felt guilty for a while, walked over and said, "It's my fault, I hurt my mother. "
Concubine Jing shook her head: "A little injury is not in the way. Compared with His Majesty's dragon body, it is not worth mentioning."
She said, and looked at Mama Cai again, "Your Majesty's soup has been sprinkled, you go and pour a new bowl over, remember not to be too hot this time."
"Yes." Mama Cai responded.
Eunuch Wei thought for a while: "It's better to go as a slave."
"Alright." Concubine Jing nodded.
Eunuch Wei brought the medicine over himself.
"I'm coming." Concubine Jing said.
Eunuch Wei thought that this bowl of medicine was brought by himself, cooked by Huaqing Palace, not outside food, so it should be fine.
What's more, I handed it over to the concubine, and no one had the chance to do anything.
Concubine Jing helped the emperor onto the dragon couch and asked him to sit against the pillow.
Eunuch Wei handed the medicine to Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing calmly took the medicine bowl and stirred it with a spoon.
The emperor said: "I will come by myself."
"I'll still come."
Concubine Jing smiled and scooped a spoonful and fed it to the emperor's mouth.
The emperor didn't really want Concubine Jing to give him medicine, but he fell on Concubine Jing's face in front of so many people. If he refuses at this time, I am afraid that all the six palaces will think that he hates Concubine Jing. .
He sighed helplessly and opened his mouth to drink.
Empress Dowager Zhuang suddenly said, "Wait!"
