If she found an excuse to avoid this hot spring trip, I'm afraid Li Mingzhi would continue to come up with other ways to test her!
"I see. Since there is enough space, I will naturally go there as well.
After all, I still have to protect the Emperor."
Ying Xixi's expression returned to normal and she smiled.
Instead, Gu Wang, who was originally looking at her, suddenly flickered his eyes and looked away.
Ying Xixi: “???”
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Gu Wang was acting strangely during this period.
It was as if he was avoiding her, or avoiding her gaze.
Could it be that Gu Wang discovered something?
Ying Xixi hasn’t figured it out yet.
After Ying Xixi left, Gu Wang put down the memorial in his hand, leaned back on the dragon throne, and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.
"Your Majesty, it's late. Today is the day to turn over the cards."
The eunuch came to Gu Wang holding a few signs.
Gu Wang frowned and pointed at something casually.
"Your Majesty, it's Consort Lin. I'll send someone to carry her over here."
The eunuch left after he finished speaking.
When Gu Wang returned to the bedroom, he saw the concubine lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt.
When the concubine saw Gu Wang, her face was filled with shame.
But when Gu Wang looked at that face, he seemed to see Ying Aiqing's face in a trance.
He shook his head, clearing the face from his mind.
The eunuch brought over a cup of calming tea.
Gu Wang took it and handed it to the concubine, "Drink this calming tea, you will sleep better at night."
The concubine grabbed the quilt and sat up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Watching the concubine drink all the calming tea, Gu Wang stood up and sat at the table, supporting his chin and looking at the moon outside the window.
Seeing this, the concubine was about to ask the emperor why he didn't come over.
She saw the emperor walking up to her, undressing and getting on her bed.
Soon, Gu Wang heard the concubine's sweet sobs.
The eunuch standing by waiting for orders was already used to this.
The ministers always thought that the emperor did not want children, so he made the concubines in the harem drink contraceptive soup.
But who could have guessed that the emperor had never touched these concubines at all?
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and all three of them are virgins.
As for why the emperor left so many concubines untouched and instead made them drink hallucination drugs, making them think that they had slept with him.
Of course it’s because the emperor is not interested in women!
The eunuch sighed deeply in his heart.
He panicked when he thought that he was the only one who knew the emperor's secret.
He also thought, if the emperor was not interested in women, could he be interested in men?
But he had never seen the emperor interested in any man.
From this we can see that the emperor does not have a homosexual tendency.
Is the royal bloodline really going to be cut off?
Gu Wang, who was staring at the moon in a daze, had no idea that his personal eunuch was secretly criticizing him.
He suddenly stood up.
The chief eunuch was startled, "Your Majesty?"
"You stay here and I'll leave for a while."
"Ah? Your Majesty, do you need to send guards and prepare a carriage?"
The chief eunuch asked hurriedly.
"Need not."
Gu Wang dropped these two words and left.
Yingfu.
After washing up, Ying Xixi was so sleepy that she fell asleep immediately.
I forgot to close the window and even forgot to draw down the curtains.
As the night deepened, a figure jumped into Ying Xixi's room and walked towards the bed.
Gu Wang gently sat down beside Ying Xixi's bed.
He stared at Ying Xixi's face, and his irritable mood miraculously calmed down.
He vaguely realized the reason for his irritability and the reason for his calmness.
Gu Wang had a complicated expression on his face. He reached out and stroked Ying Xixi's cheek, which felt smooth and soft.
In her sleep, Ying Xixi felt as if she was being stared at by some ferocious beast, shaking her head and muttering.
Gu Wang was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand.
He breathed softly, and seeing that Ying Xixi had not woken up, he rubbed his fingertips and reluctantly touched Ying Xixi's cheek again.
He sat by the bed for a long time, until his legs and feet became numb, then he got up and left.
At daybreak, Ying Xixi woke up in a daze.
She touched her face and felt something was wrong.
She stood up and looked at the drawn curtain, feeling a little confused.
Did she draw the drapery last night?
How come she has no impression?
Never mind, maybe the maid came in and helped her put it down.
Ying Xixi didn't think much about it, she got up, washed and prepared to go to court.
There are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
And these few nights, Gu Wang would go to see Ying Xixi late at night.
Although he always went there when Ying Xixi was asleep.
But if you walk by the river often, your feet will get wet.
That night, Ying Xixi couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed.
She closed the window, but left the curtains open.
Just as she was about to get up and look for the storybook.
There was a noise near the window.
She held her breath, thinking that some assassin was coming.
I plan to stay put and wait and see what this bold assassin is going to do.
She heard the window seem to be pushed open, and then a familiar fragrance drifted into her nostrils.
This smell...
Ambergris?
Isn’t this the smell of Gu Wang?
No way?
The person who climbed through the window into her room in the middle of the night was Gu Wang?
Not an assassin?
So what was Gu Wang doing climbing through her window in the middle of the night?
