Song Tingwan grabbed his sleeve and said, "You, you are just making empty promises for me."
"Even a pie in the sky?" Xiao Yunze didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Song Tingwan's thoughts were a little confused, and he swallowed his saliva, "Are you kidding? Moving the capital is not something that can be just talked about."
Xiao Yunze rested his chin on the top of her head, and curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Wanwan, believe me."
She knew that Xiao Yunze was not a man who would brag.
He won't say or do anything he's not sure of.
At this moment, Song Tingwan felt that it didn't matter even if the migration failed in the end.
At worst, she would have to work a little harder and run back and forth.
But she didn't expect Xiao Yunze to be willing to do this for her...
Song Tingwan closed her eyes, found a comfortable position in his arms, and quietly felt his strong heartbeat.
Without waiting for Song Tingwan's response, Xiao Yunze's heart was a little nervous, and he continued to add: "Wanwan, just now in the imperial study, I brought this matter to father in a hurry."
"There were many experts hiding in the Imperial Study at that time. As long as Father gave the order, it would be difficult for you to get out. Even I might not be able to protect you."
"My father is suspicious by nature. He would even kill his own brothers. He is extremely cruel." When he said this, Xiao Yunze's eyes darkened.
"You single-handedly repelled the enemy in Fenzhou, and last night you summoned a dragon to save everyone. You are amazing."
"But in front of my father, the more powerful a person is, the more dangerous he is. In his heart, the throne is more important than anything else."
"He wants to appoint you as the Imperial Master just to find a pretext to trap you, to keep you in the capital, right under his nose."
"Our marriage is also a way to temporarily reassure him." Xiao Yunze paused, "But Wanwan, don't worry, I will definitely not rush into our marriage."
"After I move the capital, I will have a grand ceremony with you. By then, you will be my queen and my only wife. Okay?"
"I, Xiao Yunze, promise that there will be no one else except you, Song Tingwan, in this life."
His ears turned red after hearing these words.
Xiao Yunze looked down nervously, only to find Song Tingwan with her eyes closed, seemingly soundly asleep...
Xiao Yunze called out tentatively: "Wanwan?"
No one responded.
He actually forgot that his father had burned some aphrodisiac incense in the imperial study.
He has been practicing since he was a child, and this strength of incense has no effect on him at all, but every night is different, and he is afraid that he will have a good sleep this time.
Xiao Yunze couldn't explain what he felt at the moment. He shook his head and smiled helplessly, then gently kissed the person in his arms on the forehead.
The carriage was bumpy, and Song Tingwan leaned in Xiao Yunze's arms and slept soundly all the way.
They soon arrived at the Qin Mansion.
Xiao Yunze picked up the sleeping person, walked through the mansion gate to Huixiang Garden, and put her on the bed.
Lu Yang and Hong Dou stood respectfully at the door.
The two of them had not stood there for a while when they saw Suzaku running over in a hurry.
"Is my master here?"
Lu Yang quickly raised her index finger, "Shh! The young lady is sleeping, please be quiet and don't disturb her rest!"
Zhuque looked anxious, but he didn't dare disturb the goddess's sleep. He just said, "I just heard that my master went into Huixiang Garden. The goddess is resting, so it's not convenient for Zhuque to go in. Please go in and tell Miss Luyang that Zhuque has something important to report!"
Seeing that Zhuque didn't seem to be pretending, Luyang was afraid of delaying the important matter, so he exchanged glances with Hongdou and went in.
Lu Yang stood outside the screen and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, the Suzaku envoy is outside the door. He said he has something very urgent to report."
At this time, Xiao Yunze was repeatedly tucking the quilt into Song Tingwan.
He didn't know that she was so active in her sleep, always lifting a corner of the quilt.
Xiao Yunze stood up and walked to the outer room, and gently instructed Lu Yang, "You go in and keep watch. She likes to lift the quilt, so tuck her in to prevent her from catching a cold."
Lu Yang bowed and said, "Yes."
Lu Yang was originally a little worried that Zhuque had encountered something particularly bad, but after hearing this, he immediately put Zhuque out of his mind.
I didn't expect that His Highness cared about the young lady to such an extent!
So sweet!
Here, Xiao Yunze saw Zhuque, who looked anxious, as soon as he walked out the door. "What's going on?"
Zhuque's face was about to wrinkle, "Master! Urgent news from eight hundred miles away!"
"The north is attacking! We've lost three cities in a row!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunze's handsome brows were tightly furrowed.
He flung his long sleeves, not even changing into his court robes, and strode out, "Let's go into the palace!"
Behind him, Hongdou, who was guarding the door of the house, looked at the departing backs of Xiao Yunze and Zhuque, seeming to be lost in thought.
