After a long-awaited and passionate lovemaking, Gu Ningye nestled against Yu Guopu's broad and firm chest like a lazy kitten.
There was still a blush and shyness on her cheeks after the passion, and her watery eyes were fixed on the man with fascination, unwilling to look away for a long time.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world consisted of only the two of them.
The air is filled with a faint ambiguous atmosphere, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
For a long time, Gu Ningye closed her eyes slightly, feeling Yu Guopu's warm body temperature and strong heartbeat, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Yu Guopu gently stroked Gu Ningye's soft hair, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
He lowered his head and gently kissed Gu Ningye's forehead, whispering, "You've suffered these past years."
This simple sentence blew through Gu Ningye's heart like a spring breeze, making her feel extremely happy.
It was as if she was back to the day when she first met the man, that energetic and loving man, standing in front of her domineeringly and saying that he wanted to marry her.
When the passion faded, Gu Ningye remembered Yu Guopu's illness and asked softly, "What happened to you today? Are you okay?"
"Hahaha..." Yu Guopu laughed heartily when he heard that, "Don't worry, Ning Ye, I'm fine now.
"Thanks to Zhao'er, he found the good medicine and cured my heart failure. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"Zhao'er?" Gu Ningye was taken aback. "You mean Zhao'er cured your illness, but isn't heart failure an incurable disease?"
"That's because good medicine for treating heart failure is hard to come by. Zhao'er told me all this. This child has always been concerned about my illness."
Gu Ningye nodded: "Zhao'er, ah, what a good child."
Yu Guopu immediately turned sideways and said to Gu Ningye, "Ningye, let me discuss something with you. I will be returning to Chang'an in a few days."
Gu Ningye nodded: "It's time to go back. We have been away from Chang'an for some time. I don't know what has become of the palace."
Yu Guopu shook his head: "No, I mean, you stay here."
Gu Ningye was startled: "What do you mean by that?"
Yu Guopu sighed and said, "Ning Ye, you should have felt it too. A few days ago, Xiyan seemed like a different person."
Gu Ningye: "Maybe she's been under too much pressure lately..."
Yu Guopu shook his head: "No, Ningye, there's something I need to tell you."
Ever since I came to the Southern Region, especially after spending some time with Zhao'er, I have had a nightmare every night.
Do you know what the nightmare was? It was the scene where Xiyan had a group of eunuchs strangle me to death.
The way she looked at me in my dream was terrifying, chilling to the bone; the suffocating pain felt as if it had actually happened to me.
Gu Ningye was shocked: "How could you have such a dream? Xiyan...she...she is our child..."
"Maybe this is just a nightmare," Yu Guopu said, "but it feels so real, so real that I can't tell whether it's reality or not."
Gu Ningye hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"What's wrong, Ning Ye, are you shocked too?"
Gu Ningye shook her head: "No, what I really wanted to say was that I also had nightmares. In my dream, Xi Yan summoned many people to humiliate me."
Every time I dream about it, I feel that excruciating pain, but why does Xiyan treat me like this? We are her biological parents.
As she spoke of this, her delicate body began to tremble.
Yu Guopu hugged Gu Ningye tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Ningye, maybe this is just a dream. Don't think about anything. Just stay with Zhao'er during this time.
I think Miss Su is a magnanimous person; she certainly won't make things difficult for you. You'll be safe staying here."
"No, I want to go back to Chang'an with you."
Gu Ningye said firmly.
"Since I married you, I have never been apart from you. You can't leave me alone."
"I didn't abandon you." Yu Guopu said with a smile, "I just went back to observe Xiyan's condition and see what happened to her.
If everything is alright, I will bring you back soon.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ningye nervously hugged Yu Guopu: "Guopu, I'm really a little scared. How about we take Xizhao and Xiyao with us to the Southern Region?"
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Yu Guopu patted Gu Ningye's shoulder. "If word gets out that the royal family members have all left Chang'an, what will the court and the public think?"
"But……"
"Besides, if we stay, we can use the names of Zhao'er's adoptive parents. But what about Xizhao and Xiyao? What should we do with them?"
Gu Ningye fell silent. Indeed, Shen Zhao could spare her and Yu Guopu out of consideration for her, but what about Xizhao and Xiyao?
Especially Xiyao, if unclear information gets out, it will be bad for her reputation.
"Don't worry, I will solve the problem as soon as possible. Besides, do you really think I, Yu Guopu, am incompetent?"
I was ill before and didn't have the energy to clean up the mess. Now that my heart failure has healed,
I feel like I have endless energy and I am no longer a sick cat.
Listen to me, stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for my message.
Gu Ningye really wanted to refuse and go back to Beijing with Yu Guopu, but when she met his confident eyes, she chose to listen to the man.
"Lemon Night, I want it again."
"You, haven't you had enough?"
"Let's have another child."
