Chapter 147 A Sleepless Night

When Lan Wu heard those words, she had a guess in her heart: perhaps Chu Mingheng fell ill after she died in her previous life.

As for what kind of illness it is...

Lan Wu muttered to herself, "When she was here, Chu Mingheng didn't seem to miss her much. He got used to her presence, but now that she's gone, he's made himself sick."

An arrogant and conceited emperor.

Lan Wu couldn't help but gently poke Chu Mingheng's cheek, which made Chu Mingheng open his eyes and look at her.

Before he could speak, Lan Wu said, "See? I told you you weren't asleep. Go to sleep and stop looking around."

Chu Mingheng wanted to refute, but then simply said, "I can't sleep."

"You have to sleep even if you can't sleep." Lan Wu said to him with a feigned cold face, "If you don't sleep, I can't sleep either. Are you trying to bully me?"

Who is bullying whom here?

Chu Mingheng silently recited a phrase in his mind, then gently patted Lan Wu's back to indicate his surrender, and then closed his eyes.

Lan Wu observed him for a while after he closed his eyes, thinking that Chu Mingheng might remember everything after taking a nap, since Chu Mingheng's condition also occurred after he took a nap.

After waiting for a long time without seeing any other reaction from Chu Mingheng, even the breathing beside his ear became long and steady, as if he had really fallen asleep.

Lan Wu waited a little longer, and gradually became sleepy, eventually falling asleep without realizing it.

The night was dark, the candlelight flickered in the hall, and all was quiet.

Chu Mingheng opened his eyes.

To deceive Lan Wu would be an incredibly easy task.

He opened his eyes but made no other move. He simply rested his head next to Lan Wu, quietly watching her. Even his blinking was very gentle, as if he was afraid that she would disappear the moment he closed his eyes.

sleep?

How could he dare to sleep? How could he waste his time on something like sleeping?

Who knows if Lan Wu will change completely once she falls asleep?

I stayed awake until dawn.

It wasn't until the sky was fully bright outside that Chu Mingheng saw Lan Wu make a slight movement. He then closed his eyes again, waiting for Lan Wu to wake up.

Lan Wu felt like someone was watching her, and the feeling of that gaze became clearer and clearer, making her unable to resist opening her eyes to look.

When he opened his eyes, he only saw Chu Mingheng sleeping beside him in the tent. His eyes were closed, and his eyelashes did not even tremble. It was obvious that he was fast asleep.

So she gently leaned back into his arms, thinking to herself that she was overthinking things.

Now that I'm awake, I don't know what time it is. I'm not going to court today, and no one has come to wake me up. I just glance at the sky outside and think it shouldn't be too late.

She wanted Chu Mingheng to sleep a little longer.

He snuggled back into bed, waiting for sleepiness to return.

After waiting for a while, unable to fall asleep, I simply got up to leave my bed.

My arm was grabbed, then pulled back.

Lan Wu called out softly, realizing that Chu Mingheng had woken up.

His voice still carried a hint of sleepiness as he asked Lan Wu where she was going.

"I didn't go anywhere. I was telling you to sleep a little longer," Lan Wu said honestly, unsure if Chu Mingheng had remembered her after she had taken a nap.

Clearly, he hadn't thought things through; he was still the same Chu Mingheng from his previous life.

He said okay, pulled Lan Wu into the blanket, and said he would hold her and sleep a little longer.

Lan Wu frowned, forced herself to get up, and looked into his eyes: "Now that you're awake, why are you still sleeping? Get up, we need to find Master Huifan."

Chu Mingheng turned his face away and said softly, "Why would I look for him?"

Um?

Lan Wu could tell from his attitude that he was clearly putting up a stubborn resistance. He had agreed to everything last night, but he changed his mind today, and he changed his mind as soon as he woke up.

She reached out and turned his shoulder, trying to turn his body back so that he would look directly at her.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough strength and made himself feverish. Chu Mingheng had already closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Chu Mingheng!" Lan Wu called his name angrily, flipped over and sat on him, straddling his waist and abdomen, forcibly turning his face towards her, and said angrily, "We made an agreement last night! How can you still be a scoundrel?"

Chu Mingheng's waist and abdomen were very strong, and he was rock hard when Lan Wu sat on him.

He was completely oblivious to the fact that he was a scoundrel. He only opened his eyes when he heard those words, saw Lan Wu's beautiful face moving back and forth in front of him, and smiled slightly.

He's still laughing?

How dare he laugh?

Lan Wu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she felt a movement beneath her.

Chu Mingheng propped himself up with one arm and supported her back with the other, causing Lan Wu to slide down without any support.

Suddenly, she froze, quickly moved away from Chu Mingheng, jumped off the bed, and looked at him with a flushed face: "Hurry up and get yourself ready. You promised me, don't go back on your word."

The nightgown was thin, and when Lan Wu sat on Chu Mingheng and tugged at it slightly, half of his firm chest was exposed. Now, he sat casually on the edge of the bed, watching Lan Wu's retreating movements, somewhat puzzled.

He seemed to be getting up, but the moment he stood up, his vision went black, and he couldn't help but sway.

"Your Majesty—" Lan Wu called out to him and rushed over to support him.

This action is no different from throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

Chu Mingheng picked her up and tossed her onto the couch.

"You lied to me?" Lan Wu belatedly realized she had been deceived, but then Chu Mingheng pressed down on her and hugged her.

He was very well-behaved and didn't do anything, as if he was just giving me a hug to satisfy his craving.

Lan Wu reached out and subconsciously touched his forehead, then touched her own, gasped, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, you have a fever again."

We must go find Master Huifan quickly.

Even after taking the medicine given by the imperial physicians, Chu Mingheng still didn't get better.

Chu Mingheng nuzzled her neck and gave a deep "hmm": "Later, my head hurts now."

This was indeed true; it was also true that everything went black just now. However, Lan Wu was worried that he would come closer, so he acted faster than he thought and simply threw her onto the bed.

It's as if he hasn't eaten meat in three hundred years.

Just thinking about it made Chu Mingheng want to spit on himself.

Lan Wu's voice was still speaking anxiously in my ear, one sentence after another, which was especially cute.

Seemingly worried about disturbing him, she lowered her voice, put her arm around him, and whispered, "Let's sleep a little longer."

In fact, Lan Wu felt that this was not good. Chu Mingheng's fever was unpredictable and would eventually harm his health. It was better to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

"Just stay with me for a while."

It was cold in the morning, but the main hall was excessively warm; even wearing only a thin nightgown, one did not feel cold.

Chu Mingheng held the person and lay down for a while before getting up, taking Lan Wu with him.

"Go wash up, I'll have someone come in to serve you."

His expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Lan Wu held a touch more tenderness and affection.
