Meng Qingye suddenly stood up, and Su Ting'an pulled him down to sit, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, from now on, we two will stand on the same side as you, and we will never let anyone else join us!"

Fu Luo Youqi snorted lightly, "From now on, you are not allowed to show up when I am around!"

The two were overjoyed, rose and bowed, "Yes!"

He got angry when he saw their smiles and said irritably, "Go back first and wait!"

"Thank you so much, brother!"

Fu Luo felt a lump in his throat.

"Don't call me 'Big Brother'!"

*

Three months later.

Fu Luo has a scheduled trip back to the Northern Shuo Kingdom.

Erqi and Qiqige are almost ten years old, practically grown up. He felt it was time to send the children back to Beishuo Kingdom so they could get used to the environment there as soon as possible.

The two newborn children are too young to withstand the long journey, and Li Yunyan is the ruler of a country, so she really cannot accompany him back this time.

The night before he left, he whispered in her ear, "After I'm gone, have Su Ting'an and Meng Qingye protect you!"

"good!"

"Huh? What?"

"Protect me?"

Li Yunyan looked at him in confusion. Had she misheard something?

"You heard me right!"

Fu Luoyouqi's expression was complicated as he lowered his head and kissed her.

"Yanyan, I love you!"

......

After Fu Luo left, Li Yunyan was absent-minded all day.

Although Su Ting'an and Meng Qingye looked at her the same way as usual, she felt that she had been hallucinating last night and that she was going a little crazy.

When it's time to go to bed at night, she's really going crazy!

Why is Su Ting'an, dressed in all white, standing so handsomely in front of her bed?!

No, why is he at her bedside?!

Li Yunyan rubbed her eyes and realized that she wasn't hallucinating!

Is this... real?!

"Su...Prime Minister Su?"

Su Ting'an smiled at her warmly, "Your Majesty!"

Li Yunyan hugged herself, who was only wearing her undergarments, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Her long, cascading hair was completely draped over her shoulders, her eyes were slightly open, and her gaze was captivating; she was as beautiful as a fairy from a painting.

Seeing that His Majesty was not as composed as she was during the day, but instead possessed an undeniable feminine beauty, Su Ting'an's eyes filled with a smile.

A slight smile played on his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness as he slowly approached her. In an extremely gentle voice, he said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject... has come to protect Your Majesty!"

"Protection?! Cough! No need!"

Li Yunyan waved her hand, saying that Fu Luo Youqi was only going back for a few months, and she didn't necessarily need someone to protect her!

"But......"

A hint of hurt flashed in Su Ting'an's eyes. "It was His Majesty who ordered me to wait for you!"

Li Yunyan asked in surprise, "You're not married yet?"

He shook his head innocently.

Li Yunyan felt extremely guilty; it was her oversight that she hadn't asked him about it!

"I'm sorry!" the emperor apologized. "You're still young, it's not too late for you to get married! If you have someone you like, I'll bestow a marriage upon you directly!"

He smiled and said, "As long as I have a woman I like, Your Majesty will be willing to grant my wish?"

"certainly!"

Li Yunyan put her hands on her hips and said, "My word is as good as gold, and I will never go back on my word!"

Su Ting'an immediately knelt down, his clear voice filled with joy, "Your Majesty, I have long admired you and wish to accompany you for the rest of my life! Thank you for granting my wish!"

Li Yunyan was struck dumb!

How did you get so grateful?!

She hasn't agreed yet!

"Don't thank me yet!"

Li Yunyan blamed herself for speaking too quickly earlier; she never expected to be tricked by this old fox!

She stalled, saying, "This is such an important matter; I need to discuss it with Aqi first!"

"The Emperor has agreed!"

Su Ting'an looked up at her; her features were exquisite, her clothes were as white as snow, her eyes were like stars, and she was a calamity to the country and its people.

Li Yunyan's eyes flickered. So last night, it really wasn't her hallucination!

Ah Qi, that's really what it meant!

Her Ah Qi! Such a proud person, yet he was willing to back down to this extent for her sake!

Her eyes welled up with tears, and she longed to throw herself into his arms and cry her heart out!

Su Ting'an stood up and gently approached her, "Your Majesty, you can also lean on my chest!"

Li Yunyan pushed him away, preventing him from getting closer, "It's different! You're different!"

Hearing her cruel words, he felt a sharp, bitter pain in his heart. "Your Majesty, I know you dislike me, but I don't care! Your Majesty, as long as I can be close to you during this time, I will leave once the Imperial Consort returns!"

Sensing his hurt feelings, Li Yunyan felt a pang of guilt. "That's not what I meant!"

She stopped pushing him away. "I didn't want you to leave either! I just... I just..."

He gently pulled her into his arms, his heart pounding like a drum. "Your Majesty understands. You are just too kind and afraid of hurting everyone's feelings."

“But Your Majesty!” He patted her back tenderly, “Nothing is absolute. More than not being able to have you all to ourselves, what we fear most is being abandoned by you!”

Li Yunyan shuddered and began to shed tears again.

Su Ting'an restrained himself, savoring the warmth in his arms, even his breathing was careful.

She would never know that her sudden appearance that night, saying to him, "Su Ting'an, I've come to save you!"

That scene must have had a huge impact on him!

From that moment on, she became his sky, his life, his future, and his everything!

He tentatively tightened his embrace, looked down at her, and slowly lowered his head, little by little.
