"Your Majesty, please try it. It's sour and sweet and delicious!"
Ying Xixi remembered that Xiao Xieyun liked to eat sweets, so he would definitely like candied haws as well.
Xiao Xieyun took a bite and looked normal.
But Ying Xixi, who was staring into his eyes, noticed the light that flashed in his eyes.
"It's okay, you can eat it."
Ying Xixi bought another string of candied haws with a smile and stuffed it into Xiao Xieyun's hand.
"We each have one string!"
Xiao Xieyun said reluctantly, "Okay."
Ying Xixi secretly complained that Xiao Xieyun was pretending to be quite convincing.
The two continued shopping, and Ying Xixi didn't feel like eating anymore after eating two candied haws.
She turned her head and saw that Xiao Xieyun had finished the string of candied haws without her knowing. After thinking for a while, she handed the candied haws in her hand to his lips.
"Your Majesty, wasting food is shameful, so would Your Majesty be willing to help me eat these candied haws?"
Xiao Xieyun's brows relaxed, and he said helplessly, "Alright, and when we're outside the palace, you can call me by another name."
Ying Xixi tilted her head, "Then what should we call you?"
Xiao Xieyun smiled, "You decide. Let's go. What else do you want to buy?"
"Buy some cakes and..."
Ying Xixi likes spicy food, so the food she buys is either spicy or sweet.
Seeing that his concubine was walking around the street and only buying food without buying anything else, Xiao Xieyun asked her.
"Don't you want to buy something else? Want to look at some clothes and jewelry?"
Ying Xixi shook her head. She wasn't really interested in these things; they were just material possessions.
"Just buy some food, Your Majesty..."
Before Ying Xixi could utter the word "Your Majesty", she narrowed her eyes at Xiao Xieyun and turned around, "Ah Yun? When can we leave the palace next time?"
The word "Ayun" made Xiao Xieyun's heart tremble.
It's not like someone hasn't called him that before, but when Ying Xixi heard it, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"You can leave the palace anytime you want."
Ying Xixi's eyes lit up, "Really?!"
"Well, the prerequisite is that I accompany you out of the palace."
Xiao Xieyun rubbed the top of her head, looked at her brows drooping, and raised the corners of his lips instead.
"If I let you leave the palace alone, what if you run away secretly? I'm worried."
Ying Xixi: “….”
She sighed and spread her hands, “I told you I wouldn’t run away, but you still don’t believe me.
Well, if you want to think so, I can’t help it.”
Xiao Xieyun raised his eyebrows and pinched Ying Xixi's cheek, "I will only feel at ease if I tie you to my side."
The two of them strolled around for a while and then got on a carriage back to the palace.
After returning to the bedroom, Ying Xixi took out all the food she had bought and placed it on the table.
The table was full, half of it was spicy and half was sweet.
She pulled Xiao Xieyun to sit at the table and started to eat heartily.
Ying Xixi deliberately fed Xiao Xieyun some sweets. As he ate, Xiao Xieyun vaguely realized her deliberateness.
His heart trembled and he asked her casually.
"Why do you keep feeding me sweets?"
Ying Xixi blinked, "Your Majesty, don't you like it? If not, I won't feed you."
Xiao Xieyun grabbed her wrist and took a bite of the pastry in her hand.
"I like it. I like everything you feed me."
Xiao Xieyun seemed to have said something, but also seemed to have said nothing.
But Ying Xixi was also more certain that Xiao Xieyun liked sweets.
"Xixi, call me Ah Yun. I want to hear you call me that."
Xiao Xieyun stroked Ying Xixi's lips with his fingertips, tenderly and alluringly.
"Ayun."
"Well, be good, shout it again."
“Ah…..mm…”
Xiao Xieyun swallowed all of Ying Xixi's cries.
After a moment, Ying Xixi stood up from Xiao Xieyun's arms with a red face and panting.
"Your Majesty, that's not right, Ah Yun, I forgot to ask you.
Are there any clues about Zhao Yonggang's case?"
Xiao Xieyun was still unsatisfied, with a blush at the corners of his eyes.
He gently stroked the back of Ying Xixi's neck with his fingertips, his tone meaningful.
"Xixi, do you really want to ask about other men in my arms?"
Ying Xixi pulled down Xiao Xieyun's hand that was pinching the back of her neck, "So I am no longer in your Majesty's arms."
After saying that, Ying Xixi slipped away from Xiao Xieyun's arms like a rabbit and sat opposite him.
The soft fragrance in his arms slipped away, and the empty feeling made Xiao Xieyun very uncomfortable.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Ying Xixi sitting opposite him, staring at him with wide eyes, waiting for his answer.
Xiao Xieyun twisted his fingertips and said, "Come and sit in my arms, and I will tell you what you want to know."
"Ayun, you can't lie."
Ying Xixi stood up as she spoke, and was pulled into Xiao Xieyun's arms and hugged.
The size difference between the two allowed Ying Xixi to be held tightly by Xiao Xieyun.
With the soft and fragrant jade in his arms, Xiao Xieyun sighed with satisfaction.
"The guards strictly guarded the city gates last night, but they found no clues about the man in black until dawn.
Caishikou is so busy today, which should be a good time to leave Beijing during the chaos, but there is still no movement at the city gate.
This means that Zhao Yonggang may have taken Lin Yueguo's men and left through the secret passage in the capital."
Xiao Xieyun is the emperor after all, so he understands some things as soon as he thinks about them.
"Then Ah Yun, where do you think the secret passage is?"
Ying Xixi wanted to tell him the location of the secret passage directly, but she had no reasonable reason to explain why she knew it.
