Chapter 19 Fever Period

"What?! Why don't you... Never mind, let her in right now!"

Tianheng's shocked and surprised voice came from the room, followed by a series of thumping sounds from his personal eavesdropper.

Your Majesty, are you... putting on clothes and shoes?

The bodyguard listened to the sound, subconsciously guessing what was going on, and replied.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The personal eunuch came out from the side door of the Jingxin Hall and walked towards Tianyao.

At this moment, Tianyao was engrossed in reading a storybook, completely unaware that her father-in-law was walking towards her.

Staying here was too boring, so she asked her maid to go to the library and borrow some storybooks for her to pass the time.

"Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence. Please come with us."

!

Tianyao shuddered, dropping the storybook in her hand. She opened her mouth and asked instinctively.

"He sent..."

She had barely uttered two words when Tianyao quickly shut her mouth. Thank goodness, she hadn't said anything.

It's inappropriate to ask this in front of so many guards.

Asking the eunuch is inappropriate, after all, Tianheng is the ruler of a country.

"What?"

The father-in-law turned his head and asked in confusion.

"It's alright, take me to see His Majesty."

Tianyao shook her head and replied.

Since Tianheng let her in, it means his fever period is over.

If the fever doesn't end, it would be extremely inappropriate for her, as his sister, to enter; she would be criticized.

"Why not come in through the main entrance?"

After walking with her father-in-law for a while, Tianyao turned her head to look at the main gate, which was getting farther and farther away from her, and asked.

"This is His Majesty's will."

The father-in-law respectfully returned.

Tianyao: "..."

What is Tianheng up to?

If they enter through the side door and are seen, people will suspect that they are doing something shady.

Although she was a virtuous and upright person, she couldn't withstand the slanderous rumors spread by petty people!

Tianyao hesitated for a moment, but then she remembered that Yunzhou's mother was still waiting for her to help her avoid the death penalty.

Although she hated Yunzhou's mother, Yunzhou would be sad if his mother died, and she didn't want to make him sad.

Lost in thought, Tianyao followed her father-in-law through the side door into the Jingxin Hall.

Jingxin Hall was the sleeping quarters of emperors throughout history. It wasn't called Jingxin Hall before; it was called Yangxin Hall, probably a name changed by Emperor Tianheng.

Because when the late emperor was alive, it was called the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is inside. Please push the door open and go in. I will take my leave now."

After speaking, the father-in-law bowed and withdrew.

Tianyao stood at the door of the outer room, feeling hesitant.

She wasn't actually indecisive. For example, last time, when she took the initiative to find Tianheng, she was very decisive because the doors of the Inner Affairs Hall were open at that time, and there were many people around, so Tianheng wouldn't do anything too outrageous to her.

Now, there are only the two of them in the entire Tranquility Hall.

I don't feel very good, especially since Tianheng's fever period has just ended.

"Didn't you ask me for help? How can you ask me for help while standing outside?"

Suddenly, the outer door was pulled open, and Tianheng, dressed in a black and gold robe with his long hair flowing down, stood in the doorway. He reached out and pulled Tianyao into the room.

"ah……"

Tianyao exclaimed in surprise. She had not expected Tianheng to open the door suddenly, nor did she expect him to reach out and pull her. So she did not resist at all and was pulled into the room by Tianheng.

The door was closed again.

As soon as Tianyao entered the room, she raised her hand to cover her nose. The pheromones were so strong!

The scent was pleasant, but too strong; she was afraid it would arouse her desire.

"Let's go outside and talk."

Tianyao turned around and, as she spoke, was about to push open the door and leave.

"Let's talk right here!"

Tianheng raised his hand and pressed it against the door frame to stop Tianyao from leaving, his tone forceful.

Tianyao looked troubled, frowned, looked up at Tianheng, bit her lip, and asked.

"...Has your fever subsided?"

She didn't want to ask him such a private question, but she was afraid.

She was afraid that his fever hadn't subsided. If it hadn't, she would be like meat that had fallen into a wolf's den, likely to be devoured.

She needs to confirm her personal safety.

"...Just finished."

Tianheng hesitated for a moment before replying. As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his ears, the corners of his eyes, and his face turned pink.

Actually, he lied. In fact, he had just started his fever, and today was the first day.

But if he told the truth, he believed that Yao Yao would definitely run away without looking back.

He wanted her to be there for him during his fever.

She doesn't need to do anything; all she needs to do is stay by his side.

"You've never smelled my pheromones before, but you smelled them this time. How does it feel?"

Is this your favorite flavor?

Tianheng clenched his fists tightly behind his back, until blood began to flow, and then he stopped clenching them.

The pain would bring him to his senses. He couldn't lose his temper in front of Yao Yao, otherwise she would be even more afraid of him and less willing to see him.

Tianyao's breath hitched. How could she not like it? She absolutely loved the cool, woody scent.

But I can't say it, because if I do, Tianheng will definitely be provoked into losing control.

Her gaze fell on Tianheng's forehead, and seeing the fine sweat on it, her heart tightened and her eyes flickered.

Tianheng's fever period is not over!

He lied to her!

Tianheng completely forgot that her current husband, Yunzhou, is A, and he also has a fever period. Therefore, she knows very well what an A's fever period is like and what it is like when the fever period ends.

Tianheng's current condition is exactly like a fever that hasn't ended.

Tianyao was worried that Tianheng would find out that he was still in the fever stage. She naturally looked away from Tianheng's face, lowered her head, and spoke softly, avoiding answering Tianheng's questions.

"Your Majesty, I have come here today regarding Yunzhou's mother. She has been sentenced to death for the crime of disrespect. Therefore, could Your Majesty please grant her a pardon?"

All she wanted now was to quickly obtain Tianheng's decree pardoning Yunzhou's mother for her disrespectful crime, and then escape from the wolf's den as fast as possible.

But Emperor Tianheng was incredibly astute.

"Yaoyao, I'm asking you, do you like my pheromones or not?"

He still had one hand on the door, the bleeding hand that had been behind his back before, and gently pinched Tianyao's chin, forcing her to raise her head and look him in the eye. His gaze was incredibly sharp, his voice was deep and resonant, and his whole being exuded the majesty of a ruler who had long held a high position.

Tianyao met Tianheng's dark eyes and felt a sudden panic, but the next moment, her eyes widened, her face full of worry and surprise, and she asked.

"Are you injured?"

"Where are you hurt? Let me see."

Tianyao's gaze swept over Tianheng, eager to find where he was injured.

Tianheng, that big idiot, could he have deliberately injured himself to stay sober?

Tianheng is perfectly capable of doing something this stupid.

Tianheng's hand, which had been gripping Tianyao's chin, dropped, and blood flowed down his hand, but he didn't care at all.

He was preoccupied with her worrying about him.

It turns out that getting her care is so simple; all you have to do is get hurt and bleed.

Hahaha, he's so stupid. If he had known it was so easy to get her attention, he would have stabbed himself.

Why endure, restrain yourself, and wait for something?
