Chapter 204 Watching Her Pray for Others
The last sentence finally struck a chord with Xie Chengyan. In the darkness, he smiled with satisfaction and whispered, "Ye Lanzhou, you'd better really think so."
His hand reached out to her front, noticing the gauze still wrapped tightly around her abdomen, and asked, "Why is it still wrapped around her at night? Can you sleep?"
Ye Lanzhou stopped his tantrum. They were in the Cining Palace, which was not the right place. She said, "The Cining Palace is crowded with people and I'm afraid something might happen."
Before she could finish her words, Xie Chengyan had already reached in and untied the knot at the back of her gauze. Ye Lanzhou hurriedly reached up to cover it. The gauze was sticky, but not all of it fell to the ground, but it just became much looser. She exclaimed, "I have to go with the palace people to Guangfu Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow morning. I can't do it myself."
The next moment, Xie Chengyan picked her up and placed her on the couch, saying, "Go to sleep first. I'll help you tomorrow morning."
"You're not going back to the palace?"
Ye Lanzhou let him press her down into the quilt, then she felt the bed beside her sink. It was him who had come up. She heard him say, "Didn't we say we'd spend the New Year together?"
Ye Lanzhou was stunned for a moment. She had not taken this matter seriously since early morning because she was suddenly called to a palace banquet. Although Xie Chengyan was also present, due to their identities, they could not have any communication to avoid attracting attention.
It was true that she wanted to celebrate the New Year with Xie Chengyan, but she was a sensible person after all. Xie Chengyan never mentioned it again. She knew that he probably couldn't keep his promise, but she didn't expect that he had always kept it in mind.
She turned around, gently kissed Xie Chengyan on the cheek, and said, "Thank you."
What should I thank him for? I guess I should thank him for always being there for me.
Then, she naturally wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in the crook of his neck, and fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Chengyan didn't move, just let the woman beside him snuggle into his arms, like a cat seeking comfort, which was really touching.
She was extremely tired today and fell asleep in a short while. Perhaps because there was someone beside her, she slept soundly. When she opened her eyes again, it was time to go to Guangfu Temple.
Xie Chengyan wrapped the gauze around her abdomen and left before the palace attendants from the Cining Palace arrived.
Ye Lanzhou followed the palace people to Guangfu Temple to pray for the late emperor. She was supported by several palace servants and sat on the palace sedan chair.
She looked around and found that Xie Zhaohe didn't seem to be there...
Doesn’t she have to go and pray for her brother the emperor?
Suspicious, she casually asked the palace maid who was supporting her, "Where is Princess Yuan'an?"
"The eldest princess is not feeling well and is resting in Jiangyun Pavilion."
"Oh." Ye Lanzhou nodded, said nothing more, and sat quietly in the sedan chair waiting.
Suddenly she remembered that the last time she came to Guangfu Temple was when the late emperor passed away. At that time, she escaped death and finally managed to find a way to live from Xie Chengyan.
She knelt on the cushion behind Xu Surong, listening to the words of the officials from the Taichang Temple. The hall was filled with sandalwood incense. Ye Lanzhou held three incense sticks in her hands and prayed softly with everyone.
But suddenly I felt a burning gaze.
Xie Chengyan stood in the group of clan members, his eyes sweeping over her as she bowed her head in prayer. She seemed quite pious, but it was a pity that it wasn't for him...
His Adam's apple rolled heavily, and then he withdrew his gaze from her.
It was really annoying to see her praying for another man.
Unfortunately, Xie Chengen is dead, so there is no way to vent my anger.
