Chapter 2309 [Shangxie] Your Territory, My Dragon Abyss
But the night eventually passed.
When the palace complex appeared a desolate scene covered in silver in the dim light of dawn, Xia Fuyi finally raised her head and glanced out the window.
She reluctantly withdrew her gaze and stared at Changsun Chi's face in the dim light for a long time. Finally, she lowered her head and gave him a very light kiss on the cheek.
Like a butterfly resting, so gentle.
Then she stood up and was about to turn around and walk out when her eyes swept across the long sword placed on the rack on the side. She paused, looked down at Long Yuan in her hand, and then looked at Changsun Chi who was unconscious on the bed.
Finally, she pursed her lips, slowly walked to the sword rack, picked up the black border of the scabbard, and placed her own Longyuan on it.
Holding the seal tightly, she took a last look at the sleeping Changsun Chi, and finally walked quickly out the door, disappearing silently in the hall.
And until the extremely slight sound of the window closing was heard, the sleeping person in the empty bedroom suddenly and slowly opened his eyes.
He lay motionless for a long time, then slowly raised his hand to stroke his cheek. The very short and light kiss actually did not feel like anything, but it seemed to carry a slight warmth, not distinct but always present.
Changsun Chi stood up, his long black hair scattered behind his head. He casually put on a black coat and walked barefoot to the sword rack.
His territory disappeared, replaced by the scabbard of the shining, sharp Long Yuan.
This is her sword.
Changsun Chi took Longyuan down and slowly held it tightly in his hand.
It was not until the time for court session and the sound of palace servants' footsteps outside the palace gate that he woke up as if from a dream, put Long Yuan down, changed his clothes and went to court with the help of the servants.

"Hey, did you notice?"
Lian Tang touched Qingze's arm, and with his lips moving very quietly, he looked at the figure practicing sword not far away.
The snow stopped for a while today. The palace servants walking under the palace walls came and went in a hurry, all wearing thick clothes for fear of catching a cold.
However, only the emperor in the garden, who was above everyone else, was wearing a simple black robe and practicing swordplay with murderous intent on the swept ground.
Qingze also looked over there, his lips moving slightly:
"Of course I found it. I'm not blind."
Lian Tang then said:
"It seems that Miss Xia has been here."
"Well, he also secretly changed His Majesty's territory. The territory is better than Longyuan, so His Majesty is not angry."
"Of course he's not angry. He's been practicing swordsmanship for an extra hour these past few days. Not only is he not angry, he's probably quite happy about it."
"But Miss Xia just came here without even saying hello? She walked in openly through the palace gates. Is there anyone who dared to stop her?"
"She was driven out by an imperial edict from His Majesty. Even if Miss Xia is slow-witted, she must be embarrassed, right? His Majesty is so cruel when it comes to sleeping."
Lian Tang sighed, but Qingze shook his head:
"Your Majesty is not cruel to Miss Xia, he is cruel to himself."
Although these words were incoherent, Lian Tang understood them quickly. After a moment, he sighed again and looked intently at the figure practicing sword.
"You know what, when our Majesty uses this glittering golden Dragon Abyss, it's quite beautiful."
Strong winds blew across the vast palace walls, and the withered trees dropped their fallen leaves. The snow that had been swept into a pile by the palace servants was blown up again, forming a large, hazy white mist in the air.
The next moment, the sword flashed across, and with a swish, a large area of cold light was opened, splitting the snow mist in the sky into two, revealing the slender black shadow leaping in the air. His eyebrows and eyes were clear for a moment, and the next moment they were hidden in the cold and swift sword shadow.
