The room was filled with chaos. In the very end, Shang Huai, despite trembling all over and with red eyes, did not dare to touch Pei Zhi even slightly.

After Pei Zhi had her fill of touching, she simply hugged Shang Huai and fell asleep.

Shang Huai wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to, so he could only keep his eyes open until dawn broke and he fell asleep.

Pei Minxue got up early in the morning, washed up, and did some light exercise before a servant reported that His Majesty had arrived.

Pei Minxue tidied himself up and hurried up to greet him.

After Pei Minxue bowed to Xiao Cheng, he asked, "Why are you here so early?"

"I rushed over to have breakfast with you all."

Xiao Chengci's residence was not very close to Shang Huai's house.

Pei Minxue responded, "That girl hasn't gotten up yet."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengci said, "I'll go take a look."

Pei Minxue followed behind Xiao Chengci, saying, "I'll go with you."

Xiao Chengci did not refuse, and along the way, he chatted with Pei Minxue about official business.

Although the food festival was organized to attract Pei Zhi.

Even if Pei Zhi comes now, the food festival can't be left unfinished.

Pei Minxue recounted many details and even asked whether Xiao Chengci should make an appearance.

Xiao Chengci refused without even thinking: "No need."

Xiao Chengci was unwilling to take the limelight, and it was bound to cause a sensation.

"I'll just take Zhizhi to see what's going on then."

Upon hearing this, Pei Minxue did not insist.

"That's right. If you show your face, it might cause a stampede, which would be bad."

There were originally many people attending this event, and we also heard that His Majesty was there as well.

Even more people came to watch the spectacle.

It's safer if Xiao Chengci doesn't show up.

The two chatted as they arrived at Pei Zhi's courtyard.

The maidservant standing outside the door looked somewhat strange.

After the maid bowed, Pei Minxue asked, "Has she not gotten up yet?"

The maid nodded, her lips moving as if she had something to say.

Xiao Chengci asked anxiously, "Has something happened to her?"

Before the maid could say anything, Xiao Chengci hurriedly pushed open the door.

The sound was so loud that it startled Shang Huai, who was sitting in front of the bed.

Shang Huai subconsciously sat up and met Xiao Chengci's gaze as he entered.

Shang Huai then remembered that he seemed to be in Pei Zhi's room.

Shang Huai also remembered last night.

We stayed up quite late last night.

Although Pei Zhi said it was just touching, it took far too long.

Shang Huai reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover Pei Zhi's shoulders.

As for Shang Huai himself, he was shirtless.

A man and a woman, alone together, were lying on a bed; the man was not yet dressed.

You can't make people think of things as pure and innocent.

Pei Minxue believed that his courage had long been honed by Pei Zhi.

He shouldn't be surprised by anything his sister does.

But now Pei Minxue realized that he had truly underestimated Pei Zhi.

She just came back yesterday, saying she had amnesia, but her body hasn't lost its memory.

That night, Shang Huai was put on the bed.

If it were His Majesty instead, Pei Minxue would definitely think that His Majesty took the initiative.

But this person is Shang Huai. Pei Minxue has known Shang Huai for many years and knows him quite well.

Xiao Chengci's face was ashen, but considering that Pei Zhi was still asleep, he ultimately turned and left without saying a word.

Pei Minxue grimaced and scratched his head. He couldn't stay in the room any longer, so he could only follow Xiao Chengci away.

Shang Huai glanced thoughtfully at the robes lying on the ground, and roughly understood that they must have misunderstood.

But Shang Huai wasn't foolish enough to offer them any explanation.

When Shang Huai got up, he chose to lie down with Pei Zhi for a while without hesitation.

Pei Minxue looked at Xiao Chengci ahead, and his steps slowed down more and more.

Just by looking at his back, Pei Minxue could tell just how angry Xiao Chengci was.

He shouldn't go up there and risk offending Xiao Chengci.

Xiao Chengci stopped at a pavilion and did not move any further.

Pei Minxue followed them to the outside of the pavilion, but dared not go in.

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Chengci sighed deeply, and with no other choice, he could only step forward.

"Your Majesty, what would you like to ask me?"

Xiao Chengci asked, puzzled, "Am I really that bad?"

Xiao Chengci said in frustration, "I know I wasn't very good to her back then."

"But later, I did my best to make amends."

"After losing her, she's back now. Whatever she wants, I can give her."

"Even if she asked me to kneel down and kowtow to her to apologize, I would be willing."

Upon hearing this, Pei Minxue hurriedly said in alarm, "Your Majesty, you must not say these words. If someone hears us, it will be terrible."

Xiao Chengci is the emperor, how could he kneel down and kowtow to someone?

Xiao Chengci asked, puzzled, "But why is she still so close to Shang Huai?"

"Why not me?"

"Where am I inferior to Shang Huai?"

Pei Minxue was truly stumped by Xiao Chengci's question.

Pei Minxue had not expected that His Majesty would be angry from such a different angle.

His Majesty is angry because he was not as good as Shang Huai?

Shouldn't Your Majesty be angry that Shang Huai slept with Pei Zhi?

Why are the reasons for our anger so different?

Pei Minxue hesitated and said, "Your Majesty need not be so angry."

"Anyway, it won't be long before Zhizhi comes back to Beijing with us."
