The medicine used by the imperial physician was actually very good. After Wan Ge took a nap, she could no longer feel the pain in her hands, which is why she was able to play the zither there.

"Come here." Qi Yan's voice was indifferent, seemingly cold, but Wan Ge still obediently walked over.

Just then, Qi Yan suddenly took something out of his hand and put it around her neck.

Wan Ge looked down and gently touched it with her fingertips. The texture was wonderful, and the color was beautiful. It must have been made from a very special type of jade. Such jade is extremely rare in the world.

"Do you like it?" Qi Yan's voice was still indifferent, as if it were just a very ordinary thing.

"I like it, thank you, Your Majesty." Wan Ge didn't show much reaction on the surface, but she was actually very satisfied. He knew how to coax her with things now, which was an improvement.

Qi Yan didn't know why, but she always felt that her reaction shouldn't be like this. But ever since she met her, she had always been like this.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Qi Yan originally wanted to check on the Princess because of her situation, and also because she was injured, he wanted to give her a gift to curry favor.

But seeing her cold attitude, he felt he was just making a fool of himself. So he decided to leave first.

…

That night, Qi Yan did not go to Wan Ge's palace, nor did he return to his own palace. Instead, he spent the night in the Imperial Study.

When Qi Yan woke up from a dream, she looked at her familiar surroundings and found herself all alone. The sound of cicadas chirping outside was exceptionally clear.

But this voice seemed to overlap with the one in my dream.

Qi Yan took a deep breath, recalling the scene from his dream. It was also in this deep palace, in this imperial study. He was reviewing memorials, and Wan Ge was obediently by his side.

But the woman in his dream was completely different from the woman in real life. She smiled gently, and when she looked up, her eyes were full of him. She was especially friendly to him and seemed to love him very much.

Qi Yan placed his fingertips on his heart, and thinking of the harmonious scene with her in his dream, his heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

…

In the middle of the night, Wan Ge turned over and bumped into the person next to her. Wan Ge, who was half asleep, woke up instantly, but at the same time, she felt the mark.

When I looked up at the person next to me, I was sure to meet their familiar eyes.

Wan Ge didn't like sleeping in bright light, so there were no lamps lit, but she could still see the people around her by the moonlight. "Your Majesty, when did you arrive?"

I didn't even realize when they arrived, and no one informed me.

"Seeing that you were fast asleep, I didn't let anyone wake you up." How could Qi Yan possibly say that he actually climbed in through the window without the guards and maids noticing?

He was also wondering if he should replace the Imperial Concubine's palace with a group of reliable bodyguards, since they hadn't even noticed him sneaking in.

Although Wan Ge's martial arts skills are truly high, and they're all in his possession, what if... there's a chance of something going wrong? She didn't even notice him sneaking in, and if some people's martial arts skills are still in their possession, it's even less likely that Wan Ge would notice.

Qi Yan was unaware that Wan Ge was simply letting her guard down around him. Although she was startled, she could guess it was him without using the sensory marker.

Qi Yan put his arm around her waist, and Wan Ge quietly closed her eyes.

Qi Yan moved a little closer to her, and the dream involuntarily came to mind again.
