Shen Liyue naturally believed what Lu Xingzhou said, but the way Shen Liyue looked at Hong Ling today clearly showed that she did not take Shen Liyue seriously.
But Chen Liyue didn't care much. After all, she and Lu Xingzhou were the only ones living together. There were so many people in this world, and not all of them had to take her, Chen Liyue, seriously.
Seeing that Shen Liyue's attitude was somewhat soft, Lu Xingzhou asked, "Can you feed me now?"
Shen Liyue chuckled, then she remembered that Lu Xingzhou was still hungry and hadn't eaten anything yet.
Shen Liyue picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Lu Xingzhou's left hand: "Eat it quickly."
Lu Xingzhou put the steamed bun back on the plate and turned to look at Shen Liyue: “I want to eat chicken wings.”
Shen Liyue no longer hesitated, picked up the chicken wings and brought them to Lu Xingzhou's mouth.
After a lot of effort, dinner was finally finished. Today's dinner took twice as long as usual, and Lu Xingzhou dawdled for a long time.
Chen Liyue asked Lian Dong and Yu Zhou to clear the empty dishes away, and asked them to bring in a bucket of hot water.
Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue were both exhausted after running around for the past few days. Now they just wanted to take a good bath and have a good rest.
I have to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, and there are still many things to do.
The servant brought in hot water, and Lu Xingzhou started making a fuss again.
"I'm injured." Lu Xingzhou said aggrievedly.
"I know, so when you take a shower, raise your right arm and don't let it get wet. Doctor Zhang said the wound shouldn't get wet." Shen Liyue replied.
Lu Xingzhou continued to complain: "I'm injured, so I can't take a shower."
"If you can't wash it, then don't wash it. Then go to bed."
Lu Xingzhou still complained: "No, I haven't changed my clothes in the past few days, and I stink."
"Then you wash it."
"I can't wash it."
…
Shen Liyue and Lu Xingzhou were in a stalemate for a while, and finally softened their tone.
"Okay, okay, I'll wash it for you, okay?"
Lu Xingzhou was happy then, "Okay."
So Lu Xingzhou raised his arms like a big boss and asked Shen Liyue to undress him. Shen Liyue stopped when she was only left with her underwear.
"Go wash up."
Lu Xingzhou refused and asked, "Who takes a bath with clothes on?"
Chen Liyue thought about it and realized that the inner garment was already torn and still stained with snow, so she had no choice but to step forward and take off Lu Xingzhou's inner garment as well.
At this time, Shen Liyue's face was already red, and she turned her face away and refused to look at Lu Xingzhou.
"You are an old couple, why are you still so shy?" Lu Xingzhou said with a smile.
"Who would be ashamed to be with you, an old married woman?"
Lu Xingzhou couldn’t use his right arm, so when he entered the bathtub, he had to rely on Shen Liyue to support him.
If his arm wasn't injured right now, Lu Xingzhou would have definitely dragged Shen Liyue in as well.
After both of them finished their showers, Shen Liyue finally lay down on the bed, feeling exhausted.
But Lu Xingzhou's hands were not honest and began to wander around Shen Liyue's body.
Shen Liyue was so sleepy that her eyelids began to droop. "Aren't you going to sleep yet? You have to go to the palace tomorrow."
"There are more important things than entering the palace to see the emperor."
"What's the matter?" Shen Liyue thought something big had happened and opened her eyes nervously.
"Have a baby. Father doesn't have a grandson yet. Is there anything more important than the country and the people?" Lu Xingzhou said as if it was a matter of course.
Shen Liyue turned away angrily and stopped looking at him.
But she couldn't resist Lu Xingzhou's hands that kept wandering around, and Shen Liyue felt that every inch of the place he touched was ignited.
"You're hurt." Shen Liyue's tone was no longer as firm as before.
"Yes, I'm injured." Lu Xingzhou sighed and lay on the bed, "So please come up yourself, Princess."
————
It was unknown how long it took before Lu Xingzhou finally breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Chen Liyue was almost speechless. She was already sleepy, and after all this trouble, she didn't know how many hours of sleep she could get.
At first, Shen Liyue was on top, but was eventually pushed down by Lu Xingzhou.
Chen Liyue only felt that she was in a small boat, and if there was any more wind or waves, it would break.
She had to go to the palace the next day. Even though Shen Liyue hadn't had a good rest, she still got up with dark circles under her eyes.
Lu Xingzhou didn't need to wear makeup, but Shen Liyue pressed several layers of powder under her eyes to barely cover the two dark circles.
Lu Xingzhou saw Chen Liyue just laughing, and Chen Liyue rolled her eyes at him.
Perhaps the only person in the world who dares to roll her eyes at Lu Xingzhou so much is Chen Liyue.
The two of them went their separate ways after entering the palace. Lu Xingzhou went to meet the emperor, while Chen Liyue went to the queen's Ruyi Palace.
As soon as the queen saw Shen Liyue, two lines of tears fell.
"My children, you have worked hard."
The Queen's tears were not fake, she really felt sorry for Lu Xingzhou and Chen Liyue. In order to prevent Lu Yun from marrying into the Jin Kingdom, they traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Frontier.
Fortunately, everything has been settled now, and Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue have returned safely.
Lu Yun was also in Ruyi Palace today. When she heard that Shen Liyue was coming, she came to the Queen's Palace early in the morning to wait.
Seeing the queen crying, Lu Yun also started crying, which made Shen Liyue feel overwhelmed.
After finally comforting the queen, Shen Liyue pulled Lu Yun's sleeve and whispered, "Don't cry."
Lu Yun wiped her tears and sincerely said "thank you" to Shen Liyue.
Chen Luyue patted the back of Lu Yun's hand soothingly. There was no need to say anything else. There was no need for thanking each other between them.
The Queen pulled Shen Liyue aside and asked about their journey. Shen Liyue answered everything, but omitted the part about Lu Xingzhou being injured.
Anyway, they all returned safely, and telling the Queen this would only make her even more worried.
Chen Liyue saw that the queen was someone who could not stand up to any hardship. Perhaps it was because she was too well protected by the emperor, and she would be frightened by the slightest disturbance.
So if you can avoid saying it, then don’t say it.
The Queen would definitely keep Shen Liyue for lunch, and Shen Liyue had already prepared for this.
The emperor and Lu Xingzhou also came during lunch. The emperor did not intend to tell the queen about the previous dynasty's affairs so as not to worry her.
The five of them sat in front of the big table, and they were having a great time.
After lunch, Lu Xingzhou took Shen Liyue to say goodbye. The emperor and the queen did not keep them. They knew that Lu Xingzhou still had a lot of things to do, so they just asked Lu Yun to see them off.
Lu Yun followed Shen Liyue and Lu Xingzhou out, her expression still depressed. She always felt that it was because of her that her brother and Shen Liyue had suffered so much.
"Okay, don't look so sad. I will have good news for you in a few days." Lu Xingzhou smiled at Lu Yun.
"What good news?" Shen Liyue and Lu Yun asked after hearing this, and Shen Liyue was also a little curious.
"Du Ruoheng is going to be promoted." Lu Xingzhou said, looking at Lu Yun.
Lu Yun's expression showed a moment of surprise, but she quickly hid it, "What does that have to do with me?"
Lu Yun was not surprised that Du Ruoheng was going to be promoted. The soldiers who went with him to recapture the northern border should have been rewarded.
"Is it okay?" Lu Xingzhou smiled, "Then it's okay."
