"Hmm." Ci Xingxuan closed his eyes.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was the image of His Majesty kissing him.
Ci Xingxuan couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He was a light sleeper to begin with, but now he couldn't sleep at all.
Suddenly, laughter reached her ears, and Ci Xingxuan opened her eyes again, only to be met with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
"What is Your Majesty laughing at?" Ci Xingxuan couldn't help but ask.
Wan Ge replied softly, "I'm laughing so hard Ah Xuan's heart is about to jump out of his chest."
Are you still shy or nervous? Lying next to him, I can hear his heart pounding so hard.
Ci Xingxuan's cheeks flushed again, a mixture of shyness and annoyance. Finally, she turned her back to Wan Ge.
Wan Ge wrapped one arm around his waist and said, "Go to sleep."
Ci Xingxuan let the other person get closer, listened to his own heartbeat, and slowly fell asleep.
…
Once Ci Xingxuan was completely asleep, Wan Ge quietly got up and went out. The servants were still waiting outside the door.
The attendant originally intended to respectfully see Her Majesty off, but seeing her gesture to be quiet, he ultimately only bowed and remained silent.
Wan Ge really wanted to stay with him, but she had too many things to do, so she could only stay with him until he fell asleep.
She said something to the steward beside her, and the steward immediately walked in a different direction. A man in black landed next to Wan Ge and followed her while listening to what she was saying to him.
"Once everything is ready, proceed according to plan."
"Yes," the guard replied respectfully in a cool voice.
Wan Ge stopped and asked again, "How's the news from the Divine Doctor's side?"
"After His Majesty spread the news of the antidote pill, the divine physician left the valley a few days ago. He may arrive before Prince Yan reaches the capital."
"I understand. Give the order that I be informed of her whereabouts as soon as she arrives."
"Yes." After the guard answered, he saw Wan Ge wave her hand and then leave.
Instead of returning to her own palace, Wan Ge went directly to the Imperial Study.
…
Ci Xingxuan, who should have been asleep, opened his eyes at this moment.
As mentioned before, he is a light sleeper, so even though Wan Ge moves very lightly, almost no one can feel his movements.
But Ci Xingxuan was one of the very few. The moment Wan Ge released him, Ci Xingxuan had already woken up. However, he did not react at all because he knew that His Majesty must be very busy to let him go at this time. He could not be so ignorant, so he pretended not to know and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
But after he left, she couldn't help but open her eyes.
He didn't know if it was because it was late at night and his mind was racing, but the unease in his heart began to creep in again. Ci Xingxuan tightened his grip; he would absolutely not let His Majesty be put in danger.
Ci Xingxuan took a deep breath and finally got up. He stood by the window and knocked a few times, and a figure appeared outside the window.
Ci Xingxuan spoke in a deep voice to the person outside the window: "Investigate the purpose of the vassal king's return to the capital this time."
"Yes." After that one word from outside the window, there was silence, and the shadows that had been there disappeared as well.
Ci Xingxuan's gaze fell on his wrist, and he reached out to touch his pulse point, feeling his weak pulse.
Thinking about the miracle doctor who left the valley, he figured he was probably there to cure the poison from the pills. Perhaps he could find a suitable time to improve his health.
Thinking of how carefully His Majesty always treats him, he dared not kiss him for too long today, afraid that he might accidentally bump into or hurt him.
If things continue like this, when will he be able to do anything intimate with His Majesty? He can't wait any longer.
Although Ci Xingxuan did not know whether His Majesty had sent the divine physician here for his sake, he was very clear that, at least for now, His Majesty would definitely try to find a way to have the divine physician treat his body as well, now that the divine physician had arrived.
Then he can find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and improve his health.
However, Ci Xingxuan was also a little worried because Wan Ge only came to visit him because she felt unwell, and that's how she gradually became closer to him. He didn't know what Wan Ge's attitude towards him would be if he really recovered.
…
The next morning, Ci Xingxuan subconsciously touched the person next to him, only to find that no one was there anymore.
Late last night, Ci Xingxuan sensed Wan Ge's return again. If he hadn't been so conscious, Ci Xingxuan might have thought he was dreaming.
But his clear mind told him that he wasn't dreaming; Wan Ge had returned, perhaps having finished what he needed to do, so she came back.
Regardless of the reason, Ci Xingxuan felt very sorry for him.
She was busy so late, and she still had to come to him.
…
After Ci Xingxuan got up, washed, and changed his clothes, his attendant suddenly told him that Chi Heng had arrived.
According to rumors, Chi Heng was gentle, well-educated, and a model of virtue among men.
Ci Xingxuan had previously considered himself an acquaintance of this nobleman.
The two probably get along well because their personalities seem too similar to outsiders.
But they didn't actually have much contact, they didn't even exchange more than a few words, and he talked to Luo Ziyun much more.
"What is he doing here?" Ci Xingxuan frowned slightly.
Previously, because he was unwell, he did not need other servants to come to him to serve tea, so Chi Heng had not come again, and the two of them had only met at banquets.
