After expressing her gratitude, Zi Teng got up and left step by step. I watched Zi Teng's figure, which was no different from usual, disappear into the darkness, and I lowered my eyes, feeling a mix of emotions.
As soon as Zi Teng left, Liu Lieyu picked me up in one go. The sudden lift made me instinctively grab Liu Lieyu's shirt with my hands. I blinked and stared at Liu Lieyu in a daze.
Liu Lieyu looked down at me, a smile playing on his lips, his brow relaxed. "Going to sleep."
Okay, whatever you say.
Liu Lieyu gently placed me on the bed, as if I were some rare treasure.
"I'll have Qianxi break the curse for you tomorrow." Liu Lieyu lay down next to me and turned over to look at me.
"A brief analysis? Is she a woman?"
"No." Liu Lieyu shook his head.
Strange, this name sounds oddly like a woman's.
"Sleep." Liu Lieyu pulled me close and closed his eyes. Soon after, I could hear his even, shallow breathing.
I glanced at Liu Lieyu's handsome features; his slender eyes beneath thick, sword-like eyebrows were closed, leaving only his long eyelashes visible.
I looked away. Why does someone as handsome as him have to be hung up on Nv Xin?
Sigh, let's go to sleep.
The next day, I was awakened by Liu Lieyu's kiss. As soon as I opened my eyes, Liu Lieyu's face was right in front of me, so close that I could count his curled eyelashes.
When Liu Lieyu saw that I was awake, he stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of my lips again.
My heart skipped a beat, and after thinking for a moment, I gently returned Liu Lieyu's kiss.
Liu Lieyu's dark eyes seemed to light up, his eyes glistening and moist as he looked at me softly, "Little sleepyhead, get up."
I smiled wryly and struggled to get out of bed to wash up.
Since the wisteria wasn't there, I casually tied my hair up and changed into a light pink flowing dress.
Liu Lieyu sat on the sofa in the living room, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with auspicious clouds embroidered in gold thread at the hem. The hem of the shirt was draped over the floor, and his elbows rested on the sofa armrests, revealing his fair skin. The blue veins on his wrists were particularly noticeable.
Standing in the living room was a woman with a cool and aloof demeanor. She wore a simple blue-green long dress with a light green sash tied in a bow at the waist. Her hair was tied up high, revealing a long face with a pointed chin, thin and light eyebrows, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were lowered. Her thin lips were tightly pursed.
“Xin’er, this is Huanzi, who will replace Zi Teng.” Liu Lieyu pointed to Huanzi.
Huanzi curtsied and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
I nodded slightly. "No need for formalities."
Liu Lieyu stood up and walked towards me, reaching out to take my delicate little hand. "I'll take you to see Qianxi."
I nodded obediently, thinking to myself, "It seems that this Qianxi is quite capable. Otherwise, Liu Lieyu wouldn't have taken me to see him, but would have sent someone over directly."
Liu Lieyu led me outside, and the people at the door immediately followed behind us. I sighed. When will this kind of life, where I'm always followed by a group of people no matter where I go, end?
There was a divine chariot parked at the palace gate. I turned to look at Liu Lieyu and asked, "Is it far?"
"It is quite far. He doesn't like to see people, so I arranged for him to be in the northwest of Guixu, where there are few people."
"So remote?" Deep in the northwest of Guixu lies a dense forest where wild beasts roam.
Is it true that high skill breeds daring?
The beasts of Guixu are not as easy to bully as those in the mortal world; they are all thick-skinned and tough, extremely resilient, and ferocious by nature. Even the people of Guixu, who are known for their fierceness, would never venture into the forests of the northwest to invite trouble.
