Yuwen Zheng casually glanced at the first imperial concubine's nameplate and asked, "Has the imperial concubine come looking for me these past few days?"

The chief eunuch carefully tried to fathom Yuwen Zheng's thoughts, but Yuwen Zheng's face remained expressionless, as if the question had been asked casually.

The head eunuch then said, "The Imperial Concubine has sent someone to deliver soup and pastries."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Zheng felt uneasy. All she did was send things over; where was she?

Why don't you come over in person and coax me to come over?

Yuwen Zheng put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the pile of nameplates held by the chief eunuch, and said, "Tell me, whose nameplate shall I choose today?"

The head eunuch dared not speak; he could sense that Yuwen Zheng was displeased.

Yuwen Zheng was too lazy to flip through it. He waved his hand and told the chief eunuch to take the sign down.

He needs to calm down for the next few days.

During this period, he became somewhat unlike his former self.

Inside Yongning Palace, Qiu Gu looked outside and saw that it was still quiet outside, so she sighed again.

Hearing Qiu Gu sigh, Ah Li said, "Have someone lock the palace gates. We can't wait any longer."

Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, let alone in the imperial harem.

Ahri said she is easygoing and won't get stuck on things.

Besides, she already has a baby, so it's not appropriate for her to make a ruckus every night.

Ahri comforted herself and then lay down to rest.

Seeing Ah Li like this, Qiu Gu was worried. If the Empress is like this, the Emperor will never come again. What should she do?

However, just as the palace servants of Yongning Palace were about to lock the doors, Yuwen Zheng arrived.

Just as Qiu Gu was about to bow, the man strode into Ali's house.

The chief eunuch and the others followed behind, waiting until they reached Qiu Gu.

The head eunuch straightened his hat and said, "Boil the water, the Emperor will be staying overnight."

Ahri was sleepy when someone pulled her out of bed and forcibly kissed her without saying a word.

Yuwen Zheng had never seen anyone like Ah Li. He didn't come, and she didn't call out to him or go looking for him.

Yuwen Zheng held the person tightly, pressing him for an answer: "Why didn't you send someone to find me? Why didn't you pretend to have a headache and fever so I would come to see you?"

Ah Li simply held the person and said intermittently, "Your Majesty is the ruler of the country, I dare not."

"You don't dare? You're incredibly bold!"

Yuwen Zheng was angry and acted without restraint, which led to him being chased away by Ah Li.

Ahri said unhappily, "You hurt me."

"I……"

Yuwen Zheng was even considering apologizing.

Ahri simply flipped herself up; she wanted to do it herself!

Seeing Ah Li's behavior, Yuwen Zheng obediently cooperated. Otherwise, if this person wanted him to leave, he would have done so directly without any hesitation.
