He tiptoed to her side and lay down, his deep black eyes staring at her sleeping face in the darkness. His fingers couldn't help but stretch out to her cheek, but when they reached her, he retracted them.
He was afraid that his actions would wake her up, so he finally held back.
Looking at her face and smelling her unique fragrance, Xiao Yan fell into a deep sleep until four o'clock in the morning, and then left quietly, just like when he came, leaving without a trace.
When Bei Yutang woke up naturally, she couldn't help but glance at the place where Xiao Yan had been lying, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
While Bei Yutang was comfortably and peacefully staying in Chenxiao Palace, quite a few incidents were happening outside. For example, when Concubine Liang's sedan chair passed by the lotus pond, a wild cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and frightened the sedan bearers. Concubine Liang fell directly from the sedan chair into the water.
The Southern Emperor was furious and sent people to investigate, but the final result of the investigation was unexpected.
This made Concubine Liang very angry, but since the result was found by the Southern Emperor, she did not dare to question it even though she felt something was wrong. She could only blame the sedan chair bearers and had them beaten and killed.
"Empress, it's time to take your medicine." Xia He walked into the inner hall carrying a bowl of medicine.
Since falling into the lotus pond that day, Xia Yuwei has never fully recovered. The imperial physician said it was a combination of shock and cold, and that she would be fine in a few days. However, even after several days, she still hadn't recovered.
Xia Yuwei took a look and frowned, but she also knew that if she didn't take good care of herself, she would not be able to conceive and give birth to a child.
Xia Yuwei drank the medicine in one breath, "Your Majesty, where are you now?"
"The Emperor is handling government affairs in the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Xia Yuwei felt a little lost. He hadn't come to visit her for several days.
Xia He noticed her master's disappointment and couldn't help but comfort her, "The war on the border has been intense recently, and the Emperor is worried about state affairs. After a few days, when the fighting subsides, he will definitely come to see the Empress."
Xia Yuwei nodded to show that she understood.
She understood this rationally, but in her heart she still longed for someone to be by her side. When people are sick, they are always the most vulnerable and want to find someone to rely on.
"You can go down." Xia Yuwei waved her hand.
At midnight, amidst the stillness of the harem, a figure quietly entered Hanxuan Palace. The person immediately spotted the figure standing in front of the bed.
He walked forward and hugged her, and her body naturally leaned into his warm arms.
"Yuwei, I heard you were sick?"
Nan Haowen looked at her slightly haggard face in the moonlight, his eyes full of pity.
"It's okay. It will be fine in a few days." Xia Yuwei said nonchalantly.
Nan Haowen was a little angry when he heard that she didn't care about her body so much. He turned her body over and asked, "Did he do something again?"
This "he" was known to both parties.
Xia Yuwei pretended to be strong, trying to hide her feelings, "No, don't let your imagination run wild."
After hearing this, Nan Hao became more certain.
"Yuwei, why do you have to do this?" Nan Haowen felt resentful. If it weren't for the imperial decree from her brother, Yuwei would have been her wife long ago.
Although the emperor got her, he didn't treat her well. Instead, he let her suffer the anger and hurt by the women in the harem.
"I'm really fine. Shao Tian treats me very well." Xia Yuwei tried her best to defend herself, but the more she defended herself, the more it seemed like she was trying to cover up her crime.
