"I don't know what crime I have committed."

Queen Duan was trembling with fear, but her eyes were fixed on the dragon-patterned tablecloth.

He didn't dare to uncover it, and could only wonder secretly whether Sheng Xiyan was hiding underneath.

Xuan Ling said coldly, "The Queen knows everything about my Yangxin Palace. How did you know about it?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor had caught a cold, so I paid more attention to him. I have no other intentions, please understand."

Empress Duan took the risk of revealing the reason for coming to the Yangxin Palace, which was to test a few questions.

When Cui Nianmi was told that she was not feeling well, he tried to find out Xuan Ling's attitude and whether he was still interested in her.

Second, he asked the mute female doctor to treat Cui Nianmi to test whether it was Sheng Xiyan.

3. If the mute female doctor is Sheng Xiyan, use Cui Nianmi to disgust her again.

Sheng Xiyan curled her lips and asked, "Why should I go to see Cui Nianmi?"

Although I am not a famous miracle doctor, I am a person with dignity.

The queen is a snake in the heart and is very evil.

I really look down on this in-law. Will Jiang Jiang marry Le Wen in the future?

You dragon, if you ask me to see Cui Nianmi, I will leave immediately and never care about your life or death again.

Xuan Ling stretched out his big hand under the table, grabbed Sheng Xiyan's small hand and rubbed it.

"The Queen commands the six palaces. You don't need to tell me about the concubines' affairs. If you are sick, go to the imperial physician and don't worry about the people here."

Empress Duan raised her head and said aggrievedly:

"I am the Empress appointed by the Emperor personally. I consider it my duty to relieve His Majesty's worries, so I was a little anxious about Cui Zhaoyi's matter. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Xuan Ling said majestically:

"Since you know that you are the queen appointed by me, you should understand my bottom line and do not try to test my heart."

"I know I was wrong, Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Back off."

"I'll take my leave."

Empress Duan left the Yangxin Palace with her legs still trembling.

She was a sensitive person, and she felt that Emperor Xuanwu's words just now were a hint - I can enthrone you as queen, but I can also abolish your position as queen.

Qingdai helped her onto the phoenix chariot.

"Your Majesty, could the mute female doctor be the one who asked to leave the palace?"

Empress Duan said anxiously, "How would I know?"

I can only send someone to Hanyu Temple to secretly inquire whether Sheng Xiyan has left the temple.

"Your Majesty, would you like to tell the Empress Dowager about this? Have her go to the Yangxin Palace to find out who the mute female doctor is?"

Empress Duan stroked her head and said:

"I was just scolded by the Emperor for being too overbearing. If I let the Empress Dowager interfere now, the Emperor will blame me even more.

Wait a little longer. If we find out that Sheng Xiyan is not in Hanyu Temple, we can have a legitimate reason to ask the Queen Mother to intervene.

"Your Majesty is wise."

In the Yangxin Palace, Xuan Ling pulled Sheng Xiyan out from under the table, not daring to let her know that he had recovered his sight.

Hu Luan grabbed the person in his arms and ordered: "Close your eyes."

"Why?"

You are blind, and you still need me to accompany you?

Sheng Xiyan closed her eyes and was held in his lap.

His breathing was a little rapid in her ears, blowing her hair like the wind, making her cheeks and neck itchy and numb.

Little fool, close your eyes so that I can look at you greedily.

I haven't seen you for more than half a month. Do you know how much I want to see you?

Xuan Ling's deep eyes were filled with tiny rays of light and love.

Reaching out his hand, he traced her forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, and cheeks through a piece of paper.

The tip of his thumb rubbed against her red lips. Sheng Xiyan dodged to the side, but with the back of her head held, she had nowhere to hide.

Xuan Ling asked tentatively:

"Will you stay with me?"

"No."

She was so determined without even thinking about it?

"Why? I can make you the most noble woman in the world."

Sheng Xiyan snorted coldly.

"I am a country girl, I don't dare to expect luxury, but I just want a simple life."

She spoke calmly, referring to He Qiyan.

Xuan Ling sneered, "What if I don't let you go?"

"Isn't it enough for the Emperor to have three thousand beauties in his harem?"

The hand that was pinching her waist slowly loosened, and suddenly hugged her tightly again.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

There is a term in medicine called withdrawal.

This time, I've only been in love with him for two days and I want to break up with him.

Sheng Xiyan held her breath, not wanting to breathe in his scent, fearing that she would become attached and be seduced by his lust.

Lust can blind one’s mind, and this also applies to women towards men.

He held her so tightly, tightly, but she let her arms hang at her sides, like a puppet, without any emotion.

Xuan Ling rested his chin on the crook of Sheng Xiyan's neck and begged in a hoarse voice,

"Would you please hug me too? Even just for a moment..."

Like a puppy asking for a head pat from its owner, her tone was coquettish and aggrieved.

Sheng Xiyan recalled the pulse diagnosis in the morning.

Forget it, as long as he can be in a happier mood and his eye and headache problems heal faster, she can retire with honor.

Just hug her, she is not a stingy person.

She stretched out her arms and gently embraced the man's slender waist. For some reason, as soon as she did this, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Half a month after leaving the palace, I thought of Xuan Ling in Hanyu Temple, and my feelings for him gradually became clearer.

He was sometimes stern and sometimes kind to her, sometimes instructing her and sometimes doting on her.

Like a king, like a father, like a brother, like a husband.

Xuan Ling gently stroked Sheng Xiyan's head.

Yanyan, the happiness you want is not in the palace, but I can't bear to leave you.

I would like to give you all the splendor and prosperity in the world, but you don't want it.

But these are all I have.

As the emperor ruling the world, Xuan Ling felt inferior for the first time.

He could neither give Sheng Xiyan the ordinary life she wanted, nor make her fall in love with him. In other words, he could not give her happiness.
