It was cold, and Jun Shihuai was afraid that Jun Li would feel cold, so he had to light the fire again and put his hands over the fire to warm them, as if he could not feel the heat. It was not until he felt his body was getting warm that he slowly walked to the bed, and finally, together with the quilt, he held Jun Li in his arms.
After tossing and turning all night, Jun Li woke up and found that four petals had already lit up. Jun Shihuai was hugging her and sleeping quietly. It was the first time she saw Jun Shihuai so calm. She didn't know if it was because of the heat, but his cheeks were a little red and the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat. She reached out to push away Jun Shihuai's hair, but touched his hot forehead.
It was obvious that she had a fever at this temperature. Jun Li struggled twice in Jun Shihuai's arms before pushing him away.
Jun Shihuai frowned and opened his eyes. His eyes were a little blurry. After seeing her, Jun Shihuai called her softly: "Imperial Sister..."
His voice was hoarse, and as expected, he had a fever.
"Does it hurt?"
When she asked this, Jun Shihuai reacted immediately. He had been taking care of himself for so many years, so he knew his physical condition very well. He was freezing and warming himself by the fire last night, so he must have caught a cold. No wonder he felt hot in the second half of the night. He also felt hot while hugging Jun Li. Although it was uncomfortable, he still did not let go.
Seeing that Jun Li seemed to be frightened, Jun Shihuai pinched her hand and shook his head: "It's not uncomfortable, you will be fine after a sleep."
After saying that, he took Jun Li back into his arms and closed his eyes.
Jun Li was half-believing and half-doubting, and wanted to call the imperial physician to check him out. However, Jun Shihuai was holding her too tightly, and she was afraid of disturbing Jun Shihuai's rest, so she had to stay close to him. Her body was relatively cold, and maybe he would feel better. However, Jun Shihuai's arms were too warm, and in such a cold temperature, it was like a gentle paradise. Soon Jun Li forgot her original intention and fell into a deep sleep.
After feeling her steady breathing, Jun Shihuai reluctantly opened his heavy eyelids, stared at her for a long time, leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead, then rested his forehead against hers and fell asleep.
......
The two of them lived a very warm life here, but the group of palace maids and eunuchs in Chaoxia Palace were miserable.
No one expected the Empress to suddenly arrive at Chaoxia Palace. Yuyan had originally wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but after seeing the Empress's sharp eyes, she was immediately frightened and dared not speak. The maidservant beside the Empress was a man of many experiences. She walked up to the group of kneeling palace servants and said in a rather unpleasant tone, "Where on earth has the princess been? If you don't answer truthfully, you slaves will be tortured to death."
When they heard the word torture chamber, their bodies trembled a few times. The torture chamber was a place where no one had ever come back after entering. Even if one had never seen it with one's own eyes, one could imagine how horrible it was. Most people in Chaoxia Palace didn't know where Jun Li had gone. Even if they wanted to answer, they had no way to answer. They could only keep saying that they didn't know. The only few palace maids who knew about it also gritted their teeth and said nothing.
At this time, Zhen Ye suddenly said, "I know that the princess went to the Fourth Prince's courtyard last night."
When Yuyan came back last night, she heard what Yuyan and Wenyu said. She had long felt that there was an inexplicable strange atmosphere between Junli and Jun Shihuai. She hated Junli, and she hated Jun Shihuai even more. Why did that man treat Junli so well when Junli had done such an outrageous thing? Shouldn't he hate Junli too?
