Seeing Zhao Ya's expression, His Majesty just shook his head silently.

I never thought Yaer would be so difficult to coax.

He took a deep breath and saw that Zhao Ya had recovered her energy and fell asleep peacefully on the couch.

His Majesty shook his head silently, then carefully covered Zhao Ya with a quilt, and quietly returned to the desk to continue reviewing memorials.

…

Qi Sheng has been guarding the gate of Jiayao Palace for the past few days since Concubine Jia got into trouble.

He stepped into the inner hall.

"Greetings, Lord Qi." The guards who were heavily guarding the house saw Qi Sheng's figure.

Qi Sheng's footsteps stopped. He could vaguely see Concubine Jia's bed through the blue-gray screen. The thin figure was buried under the quilt, and her well-defined face could only be seen vaguely.

The high nose bridge is upwards and the pair of charming eyes are closed, leaving only the black eyelashes clear and distinct.

Somehow, looking at Concubine Jia's face, Qi Sheng's heart became hot, just like the feeling at the beginning.

His own Shu'er, now Concubine Jia, is an indelible part of his past no matter what.

Qi Sheng smiled bitterly, and the loneliness in his eyes was hard to hide.

"You guys go down first, I'll take a look around here." Qi Sheng said.

The guards around looked at each other in bewilderment. After hearing what Qi Sheng said, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, Jia Tongshu's identity was very important, and how could the emperor's woman be desecrated?

One of the guards frowned, unable to contain his temper, and asked, "Master Qi, I'm afraid this is against the rules."

When Qi Sheng heard this, he suddenly became furious and felt extremely irritated.

I just wanted to be closer to Shu'er, but now I don't even have the qualifications. Why?

"What did you say?

Listen, I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

When the guards heard Qi Sheng speak like this, they naturally could not raise any other objections.

After all, he is the one with the highest status here, and they can't say anything.

It was just an inspection, and they had no right to stop it.

So several guards bowed their heads and saluted, then walked out of Jiayao Palace.

At this moment, the room was silent. Qi Sheng could only hear the sound of his own heart beating violently in his chest, which was surprisingly clear.

His Shu'er, he hasn't seen her clearly for too long, and his heart must be missing her so much.

This belief gave Qi Sheng the courage to move forward. He went around the screen just to get closer.

When he was only a few feet away from Jia Tongshu, tears welled up in his eyes for no apparent reason. He looked at Jia Tongshu's bright and beautiful face, and his heart began to feel like it was being cut by a knife.

If I had not been favored by that abominable Majesty, none of this would have happened.

He resented that he had no rights or abilities, and that he was unable to protect his beloved, causing her to suffer deep in the palace.

He moved closer to Jia Tongshu's side, slowly stretched out his fair and slender fingers, and gently slid them across Jia Tongshu's pale and colorless face, the delicate and soft skin, and the intimate touch, just like the beginning.

She was so close to me, but now she is so far away from me.

Qi Sheng clenched his hands together in annoyance.
