After finishing these tasks, he finally went about his own business. Xinglai, who was guarding outside, watched the flickering candlelight inside and couldn't help but sigh. "His Majesty has yielded for Consort Shu, hasn't he? It's always been others who accommodate him; how come it's his turn to accommodate others now?"
Those who served Yu Jingchen knew that His Majesty never slept with the lights on, but now he had turned on the candle, simply because Consort Shu was afraid of the dark. So… His Majesty knew he was starting to change.
Xinglai silently worried for the two of them. His Majesty was indeed changing, but Consort Shu was changing too... becoming more rational and calm, more defensive and pretentious. He feared that one day His Majesty would go mad and do anything to make their already terrible relationship even worse.
Well, things have already come to this, so let's not think about it anymore. After all, some things are destined, and who knows what will happen to His Majesty and Consort Shu in the future.
That night, moonlight streamed onto the roof, and both the house and the surrounding area became quiet. Yu Jingchen, who was with Nan Zhiyun, found it hard to sleep, unsure whether it was because of the light on or because of his changed state of mind.
Nan Zhiyun slept very well, not moving around, remaining quiet and peaceful, her sleeping face serene and endearing. Yu Jingchen reached out and gently pulled Nan Zhiyun into his arms. Perhaps sensing the embrace, Nan Zhiyun even snuggled closer to Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen's heart softened. Nan Zhiyun was like a well-behaved kitten right now, making him want to stroke and cherish her. He reached out and stroked the top of Nan Zhiyun's hair; it was so soft.
It has to be said that Nan Zhiyun's current state made a strange emotion in Yu Jingchen's heart become more and more obvious, and even he himself could feel it.
“Be obedient… Don’t even think about leaving. You can’t protect yourself, and neither can Nan Su. Right now, the only safe place for you is inside the palace, right beside me. So… be good, don’t do anything stupid, or… I won’t be able to control myself.” Yu Jingchen said meaningfully.
If one day Nan Zhiyun still secretly wants to leave, then he... will probably have to use some methods. It won't be easy for her then; she might not be able to bear it. He won't be lenient either. Running away... is a grave crime, unforgivable. If he could, he would cripple Nan Zhiyun's legs rather than allow her to leave so easily.
Nan Zhiyun was completely unaware of Yu Jingchen's current thoughts. She fell asleep and had a long dream. In the dream, she was pregnant with Yu Jingchen's child. And Yu Jingchen became completely different from himself; he was gentle and patient, coaxing her every day and trying his best to make her happy.
In her dreams, Yu Jingchen would stay with her every day, peeling grapes for her, lulling her to sleep, and telling her all sorts of little stories. But… it was just a dream, a beautiful dream she'd already finished having, one she wouldn't think about again.
Nan Zhiyun woke up from her dream, and was confused by the situation. Why was she being held in Yu Jingchen's arms? She wasn't narcissistic enough to think that Yu Jingchen had taken the initiative to hold her, so just as Nan Zhiyun was about to try to get out of Yu Jingchen's arms before he woke up, she thought about it.
Just as she made a move, Yu Jingchen sensed it and withdrew his hand. Nan Zhiyun, on the other hand, ended up nestled in her arms, and Nan Zhiyun cried out in surprise. However, fearing to wake Yu Jingchen, she immediately controlled her movements and sounds.
Yu Jingchen had actually been awake for a while. With Nan Zhiyun making such a commotion, how could he possibly still be asleep? He just didn't want to expose Nan Zhiyun's intentions and wanted to see what she would do. He didn't expect that the first thing she did after getting up was to leave his arms, and she foolishly thought that she wouldn't wake him up. What an innocent girl.
Yu Jingchen silently felt her movements. To be honest, holding her felt quite nice. He hadn't been in a hurry to wake her up this morning, perhaps because he wanted to hold her a little longer.
Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen, whose eyes were tightly closed, and her movements were a little stiff. After being pulled so hard by Yu Jingchen, it was even more difficult for her to get away now.
Yu Jingchen actually has a pretty good physique. Perhaps it's because he has practiced martial arts for many years. His body is very muscular and makes people feel safe.
He was the emperor, and he always had a dignified demeanor. Under normal circumstances, Nan Zhiyun felt that she would never have seen Yu Jingchen like this.
Once asleep, Yu Jingchen lost his sharpness and imposing aura. At this moment, he actually seemed like an ordinary person, his edge softened and his demeanor gentler. Compared to usual, he wasn't as frightening.
Nan Zhiyun gave up struggling. The dream felt so real. She only remembered that Yu Jingchen in the dream was gentle, but she couldn't recall anything else.
但是她知道，梦里面的自己好像很开心，所以……梦终归是梦，不会成为现实的。
自己现在的样子……呵，那些事情太假了，煜景辰也不可能和梦里面的一样。就算是一样了又能怎样？过去的事情她忘不了，若是不记得，她或许还会对煜景辰抱着一丝希望，可是现在希望都被毁了。上一世的教训血淋淋的，那些东西历历在目，自己又怎么可能舍得下呢？所以说，她和煜景辰，这辈子怕是都不可能如同梦里面一般了。
