Chapter 172: Moonlight Ambiguity

In the Observatory.

When Shen Tingyu thought of the vicious curses from the Queen Mother Bai Ri’s mouth, she couldn’t sleep.

I tossed and turned in bed, feeling like something was missing.

Shen Tingyu suddenly opened his eyes.

She knew that she was missing something. The system was particularly quiet today, her mind was silent, and there were fewer task reminders.

She sat up in bed.

"Xiao Qi, after the Tyrant was cured today, how much did the mission progress value increase? Did I complete the mission?"

[Host, uh... Xiaoqi, help you check]

[Ding! The progress of the wise ruler cultivation task has increased by 6%. The current progress of the wise ruler cultivation task is 80%.]

6%!!!

Shen Tingyu frowned, “Why is it only increased a little, Xiaoqi, are you trying to trick me?”

Xiao Qi definitely doesn't have any.

Shen Tingyu had always thought that as long as she helped the tyrant to detoxify, her mission would be accomplished, but now it seemed that she still had a long way to go.

I felt discouraged instantly.

She was not very sleepy originally, but now she couldn't fall asleep at all.

The fair fingers opened the system panel and accidentally saw the tyrant's location, which was not in his own bedroom.

Shen Tingyu exclaimed and checked carefully.

It was discovered that the tyrant was actually in a corner of the palace.

This place?

It is the secret place of the tyrant.

Shen Tingyu had some impression, because the tyrant had taken her there once.

Looking at the little red dot that had stayed there for a long time, Shen Tingyu got up from the bed. She couldn't sleep anyway, so she decided to go and take a look.

The night was deep, and the stars in the sky had disappeared. As he got closer, Shen Tingyu could hear the chirping of cicadas in the trees, adding a touch of liveliness to the cool summer air.

"His Majesty?"

The palace was too high for her to go up, and Shen Tingyu was right below, shouting, "Your Majesty!"

"Fairy, how did you know I would be here?"

The tyrant's voice sounded behind her.

Shen Tingyu turned around and saw a dark shadow sitting on the eaves under the moonlight. It was the tyrant whose face could not be seen clearly.

Swish!

A tall black shadow jumped down from a height, his clothes rustling.

Shen Tingyu said slowly: “I counted on my fingers and guessed that you would be in this place. I couldn’t sleep, so I came to see His Majesty.”

She took the initiative to open her arms and ask for a hug, "Take me up."

Xin Hongying was stunned. He put his arms around her waist, picked her up, and used his lightness skills to help her climb to the roof.

The breeze rustled her hair, and the scattered hair stirred his heartstrings. Xin Hongying's eyes were dark, and he hugged her tightly.

Shen Tingyu didn't notice the ambiguous atmosphere, she looked up and looked around.

This time it was night. Looking around, apart from the towering trees and the countless roofs of the imperial palace, there was only thick darkness and a few tiny lights.

Shen Tingyu said with some disappointment: “It’s so dark, I can’t see anything clearly.”

She sat down and patted her side to signal the tyrant to sit down.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

Xin Hongying sat on her right, and the two sat very close, their shoulders touching.

He felt that with just a slight movement, he could feel the other person's warm skin.

"I didn't see anything."

Shen Tingyu said in a steady tone, “Your Majesty, are you thinking about the Queen Mother?”

"No!"

Xin Hongying's mind flashed with the Queen Mother's curse of losing her beloved forever, as well as the sight of her falling down and closing her eyes forever.

He frowned slightly, as if under stress, and said coldly.

"I don't want to mention her anymore."

Shen Tingyu didn't say anything, she could feel Xin Hongying's unconcealable grief.

Tonight is the first night since the Queen Mother's death.

She probably knew what the tyrant was thinking. He wanted to keep vigil for the Queen Mother, but he hated her!

The Queen Mother deserves to die, Shen Tingyu didn’t know how to comfort him.

But perhaps no matter what language, it is pale to him.

This feeling was destined to be borne alone, and there was little she could do.

Shen Tingyu lay on his back, facing the starry sky, looking at the stars in the darkness, his eyes shining slightly.

"Your Majesty, lie down quickly. There is a surprise."

Xin Hongying looked at her brilliant smile, his heart moved slightly, and he lay down according to her strength.

The moment she raised her eyes, she was fascinated by a starry sky. Xin Hongying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the gloom in her heart suddenly dissipated a little.

Shen Tingyu smiled: “Isn’t the starry sky beautiful tonight?”

Xin Hongying turned her head to look at Shen Tingyu's profile, hummed softly, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and her heart was inexplicably confused.

He didn't know whether it was the alluring starry night sky or the people beside him that disturbed his mood.

…

The long night is not boring if you have someone by your side.

The two chatted a lot that night, and the Queen Mother's words of resentment and curse were all forgotten. Xin Hongying felt a rare calmness in his heart.

It seemed that wherever she was, his heart would be at peace.

As they were chatting, Xin Hongying felt a weight on her shoulders, and the soft and fine hair on her neck caused a slight itch.

Xin Hongying lowered her eyelids, looked down, and raised the corners of her lips silently.

As Shen Tingyu was talking, his head tilted, and he leaned on Xin Hongying's shoulder and fell asleep.

His heart felt strangely comfortable and warm, and even his breathing became gentle.

I only hope that time will pass more slowly, so that the beauty of this moment can stay longer and longer.

Xin Hongying tilted his head slightly and leaned against her lightly.

In a trance, I felt as if the sky was my roof and the earth was my home, and I was holding your hand, just like a husband and wife.

Xin Hongying raised his head slightly and spoke slowly in a deep and mellow voice.

"It would be nice if the fairy could maintain her human form for a little longer."

He kissed her dark, soft hair with his thin lips, "I am very greedy."

Last time in Yunzhou City, the fairy asked for dragon energy in this way. Will it be useful? Or do I need...

Xin Hongying caught her head in his palm and stood up slightly.

His cold eyebrows stared at her moist and red lips. His eyes were obscure and his thin lips were slightly pursed nervously.

Shen Tingyu's body trembled slightly, and at that time a cool breeze blew over.

Xin Hongying thought she was cold because of the cool night breeze.

Only Shen Tingyu himself knows.

She had already woken up when Xin Hongying's head rested against hers, but she was silent for a moment.

Just wanted to see what he would do.

She had never expected that the tyrant would actually kiss the ends of her hair, and she had never expected that he would want to kiss her secretly.

She didn't need to open her eyes to feel the scorching gaze and the cool, testing breath.

The cool night is like a color, under the cold moonlight.

Above the eaves of the imperial palace, two dark shadows gradually overlapped.

Xin Hongying lowered her head and slowly moved closer, feeling conflicted for a long time. The gap between their lips and the space between their two fingers was like a layer of ambiguous film.

The tyrant's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and there was a sound of swallowing saliva slightly.

In Shen Tingyu's ears, it was magnified hundreds of times.

She couldn't help but wonder in her mind whether the tyrant would secretly kiss her.
