Chapter 160 Knowing My Lovesickness
When Xiao Chenglan returned to his room, Qiuxia was drying Jiang Yingli's hair with a handkerchief.
"Your Majesty is back." Jiang Yingli's eyes lit up when she saw him.
"Yeah." Xiao Chenglan walked closer to her, took the handkerchief from Qiuxia's hand, gathered her fragrant hair in his hand, and rolled it dry bit by bit.
Jiang Yingli touched her hair and when she felt it was about time, she turned around and talked to Xiao Chenglan. The satin-like black hair flowed through his fingertips like water, leaving a lingering fragrance in his palm.
He was obsessed with this scent.
For countless nights, the fragrance that lingered on his nose brought him peace and tranquility.
Xiao Chenglan pulled Jiang Yingli into his arms, half of his face buried in her hair. While talking to her, he sniffed her greedily without making any expression.
"Your Majesty, when will you return to the palace?" Jiang Yingli asked.
"We must return after three days. Otherwise, if we suspend court for too long, the government will be in trouble."
Jiang Yingli hummed softly, sounding unhappy about having to go back soon.
"Don't want to go back?" Xiao Chenglan looked at Jiang Yingli's profile and asked with a chuckle.
"Of course I don't want to go back. I spend more time with His Majesty here."
"Why are you so greedy? You're not satisfied with being together every day. You have to be together all the time."
Xiao Chenglan slowly and leisurely rubbed Jiang Yingli's delicate cheek with the back of his hand, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Yingli looked up at him, her eyes full of love: "Of course I am greedy. Your Majesty, aren't you greedy? Don't you want to be with me all the time?"
Xiao Chenglan smiled and said gently, "Greedy, but I am more patient than you."
Jiang Yingli hugged him and murmured, "Why can't I be patient? I can't leave Your Majesty. When Your Majesty is not around, I miss You all the time."
Listening to Jiang Yingli's gentle whisper, a barely perceptible smile appeared in Xiao Chenglan's eyes, hidden in the depths of his eyes, dim and unclear.
He still remembered that on the eve of entering the palace, someone from Prince Su's Mansion came into the palace late at night and told him all the whispers he heard under the ever-burning candlelight.
Be law-abiding and know when to advance and retreat.
I don't ask for sincerity, but I ask for stability.
Now.
Xiao Chenglan lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yingli.
She hugged his waist, resting her head on his knees, her eyes filled with deep admiration and attachment to him, and her body had become accustomed to snuggling up to him, as if she would quickly wither and rot if she lost him.
Xiao Chenglan was in a very happy mood.
Jiang Yingli, enter my lovesick door and understand my lovesickness pain.
Why not seek sincerity? What he seeks in this life is sincerity, and he seeks it until his death.
After snuggling for a long time, Jiang Yingli urged Xiao Chenglan to take a bath: "Your Majesty, I am sleepy. Please go take a bath. I must hold Your Majesty in my arms to fall asleep."
Xiao Chenglan smiled: "Okay, wait for me obediently."
Jiang Yingli curled herself up in the quilt, waiting eagerly.
Xiao Chenglan was concerned about the wound on his left arm and washed it briefly. This time, he wore his pajamas neatly, no longer loose.
He lay down, and Jiang Yingli lifted the quilt as she wished and pulled him in.
Xiao Chenglan watched her lying on top of him, propped up by the quilt, looking at him with bright eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's forget it tonight."
Jiang Yingli leaned forward and looked closely at his face, her eyes widening. "Why?"
Xiao Chenglan sighed slightly. He couldn't say anything tonight, otherwise the wound would be affected and would definitely bleed. If Jiang Yingli saw it, she would be so worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep.
He lied helplessly, "I was a little tired from the hunting trip this morning."
Jiang Yingli's face suddenly wrinkled as she mumbled, "But there was nothing last night...it's been two days."
Xiao Chenglan looked at her pouting face and couldn't help laughing. "Didn't you fall asleep last night exhausted from the long journey? Why are you blaming me? Also, how much venison did you eat during the day? You're so full, how could you be so full?"
Jiang Yingli said in shame and anger, "I just want to be closer to Your Majesty. Otherwise, I will feel sad and can't sleep well! Does Your Majesty think that I just want to do that kind of thing?"
"I know, I was wrong." Xiao Chenglan held her waist, and Jiang Yingli lay on his chest.
Jiang Yingli looked up, her eyes condensing with moisture, and looked at Xiao Chenglan sadly: "Your Majesty has been more tired than today in the past, and he still got close to me. Today is just an excuse. Your Majesty doesn't want to be close to me anymore, right? Or is Your Majesty no longer able to do it?"
Xiao Chenglan listened to Jiang Yingli's words one after another, and his temples throbbed with every word.
"Jiang Yingli, what nonsense are you talking about again?"
He also ate venison today, which was indeed very nutritious. He even felt a little hot in the tent now.
He tried his best to let Jiang Yingli lie on his chest only, and avoid contact with other places to avoid causing any trouble. But she was fine.
Jiang Yingli not only did not get close to him, but was also scolded by name. She felt so aggrieved that she immediately lay down with her back turned and ignored him.
Xiao Chenglan saw that there was a large empty space in the middle of the bed. He stretched out his long arms and hugged the person back by the waist.
"Okay, come into my arms and I'll kiss you. How could I not want to be close to you?"
Jiang Yingli groaned and was unwilling to move, so Xiao Chenglan forcefully turned her body over.
As the kiss deepened, Jiang Yingli gradually became dazed, and her heart, which had just been chilled, was finally soothed.
She calmed down and felt sleepy, and stopped responding while they were kissing.
Xiao Chenglan looked at the person who had fallen asleep with her eyes closed, bit her lips as a punishment, and stepped back.
He pressed his eyebrows, glanced down, and felt helpless.
If it were normal, it would be fine, but after a big nourishment today and being aroused, I definitely can't wait for it to heal on its own.
Xiao Chenglan rubbed it and found the thin piece of cloth from among the pile of clothes.
He glanced sideways at the person sleeping beside him.
He knew that as long as Jiang Yingli stayed by his side, she could sleep soundly.
He grabbed the piece of cloth and held her hand.
......
The next morning, Jiang Yingli woke up and Xiao Chenglan was no longer by her side.
Instead, Qiuxia was busy in front of him, lying on the ground looking through the cracks in the bed.
"Did this servant wake up the Empress?"
"No, I woke up on my own. Qiuxia, what are you looking for?" Jiang Yingli asked sleepily.
Qiuxia's face was full of confusion: "My Lady, I told you I took the clothes you changed yesterday to wash this morning, but I can't find one of your small clothes."
Qiuxia kept muttering while searching.
"I clearly folded it yesterday and put the small clothes on the second layer. How could it be gone?"
Jiang Yingli remembered the last time she lost Xiaoyi and shuddered. She quickly said, "This...this is not important! I won't look for it anymore. Qiuxia, go and serve breakfast. I'm already hungry."
Qiuxia quickly got up from the ground and asked someone to serve the meal.
Although she had been in the royal villa these days, there were still some government affairs to deal with. After breakfast, Jiang Yingli went to find Xiao Chenglan, and then went to the hunting ground with him.
Xiao Chenglan didn't play today; only a few hunting teams entered the woods to compete. Jiang Yingli, as she had hoped, spent the entire morning hanging out with him.
In the afternoon, Xiao Chenglan used the excuse of discussing military affairs to change the medicine again.
Jiang Yingli was just about to take a nap in the afternoon as usual, but Gu Xiaoran suddenly came to her door.
Jiang Yingli's only impression of Gu Xiaoran was that she refused her reward. She didn't dislike her, but she didn't have much good impression of her either.
Moreover, Gu Xiaoran was not keen on dealing with other people in the harem, and no one knew why he suddenly came to her today.
But His Majesty respected General Gu with great courtesy, and Jiang Yingli also received Gu Xiaoran politely.
While drinking tea, Gu Xiaoran mentioned what happened yesterday as if inadvertently.
"I did something wrong yesterday. I am very frightened and would like to ask for your forgiveness."
Jiang Yingli asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Gu Xiaoran looked at Jiang Yingli's face and said tentatively, "I was in danger in the mountains yesterday and almost lost my life. Fortunately, Your Majesty protected me."
