"Eek—"
Just as the crown prince was lost in thought, the woman on the bed suddenly let out a soft moan, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Your Highness..."
"Yes, I am here."
Whether the woman was having a nightmare or dreaming about something, she murmured to herself, her voice filled with longing.
The prince was already reluctant to leave the woman, and upon hearing this, he became even more excited, yet dared not raise his voice to disturb her.
He gently bent down, approached the woman, and carefully examined her, trying to see what was wrong with her.
Also, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the woman, just a little bit closer.
His fingers caressed the woman's cheek, his large hands still warm from his own body, his eyes filled with lingering affection.
Perhaps it was the heat in his gaze, or perhaps it was the touch of his fingers on her.
Liu Lingxi had a vague feeling in her sleep, and coupled with the nightmare she had just had, she opened her eyes.
Her cheeks were as white as jade, and her eyes were full of charm, especially her star-like eyes, which lit up the whole room when they were open.
However, the woman's emotions seemed somewhat unstable at this moment.
The woman's eyes were filled with confusion, and a hint of fear lingered in them.
When I realized I was dreaming, I felt a sense of relief.
After she saw the person in front of her clearly, she tightly grabbed the other person's sleeve with her small hand and grasped the other person's large hand.
"Your Highness, thank goodness, you are here..."
"Yes, don't be afraid, I'm always here, I'll always be here with you, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Changfeng's heart skipped a beat. He asked with concern, afraid that he might have overlooked something.
To be honest, the Crown Prince has been staying here the whole time. He never leaves the Crown Princess's side except when he goes to court. I haven't seen her have any other thoughts.
Why this time...?
Sheng Changfeng felt uneasy, mainly because he didn't know what the woman was thinking, or what she was worried or afraid of.
Logically speaking, the Emperor has been troubled by the floods in Jiangnan and the problem of corruption in officialdom recently, so he has not summoned the Crown Princess again.
The Crown Princess couldn't possibly have any worries because of the Emperor, so what was she afraid of?
Sheng Changfeng was somewhat puzzled, but he decided to figure these things out.
After all, he was about to leave soon and didn't want to leave any potential problems behind.
Having figured all this out, Sheng Changfeng gently placed his large hand over the woman's small hand and wiped away the cold sweat that had seeped from her forehead.
After doing all this, he gently pressed down on the woman's body as she tried to get up, afraid that she would move around, and took the initiative to say.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, speak slowly, don't rush."
Fortunately, his gentle reassurance was effective, and Liu Lingxi immediately realized that she had just had a nightmare.
She dreamt of her past life, a past life in which the crown prince died tragically, and it all seemed to have happened just yesterday…
Fortunately, it's not too late; the crown prince is still sitting safely in front of him.
"Your Highness... I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you... were in trouble. It was so scary."
When Liu Lingxi met the Crown Prince's concerned gaze, she chose not to hide anything.
Because in her eyes, the Crown Prince was her everything, her husband.
Especially after what happened before, she became increasingly dependent on the Crown Prince and would not hide anything from him, even small things.
Meanwhile, Liu Lingxi, engrossed in her nightmare, was unaware that the Crown Prince's body was gradually stiffening after hearing about her nightmare...
