After midnight, before dawn, at daybreak.
The candlelight swayed gracefully in the wind.
On the dragon bed, yellow curtains fluttered in the wind.
Standing at the entrance of the palace, Xiao Yangzi eavesdropped on the sounds inside, wondering who was inside.
Could it be that last night, one of the palace maids secretly climbed into the emperor's bed?
Looking up at the sky, I realized it was almost time for court, and I was filled with anxiety.
Should I speak up or not?!
After a moment, he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.
All I could do was pace back and forth.
Not far away, a group of eunuchs and palace maids approached, each carrying toiletries and breakfast.
Xiao Yangzi immediately went over and told them to stay where they were and not to come any closer.
Only then did he return to the palace gate and look at the tightly closed door.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and open your mouth.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rise."
The person inside the room stopped what they were doing upon hearing the sound and looked down at the person on the bed.
Qu Shaoyu, lying on the bed, heard Xiao Yangzi's voice and never thought it was so beautiful, like a heavenly sound.
Immediately raise your hands and push away the person who knows no self-control with all your might.
Unfortunately, he was too weak and powerless to push him away.
He could only look at Ning Qing with pleading eyes.
"Brother Qing, it's time for court. I should get up."
Ning Qing knew she had been too rough with things last night, so naturally she didn't object.
She kissed his red and swollen lips, then rolled over and lay down.
"Okay, get up."
Qu Shaoyu felt like a prisoner just released from his cage, filled with the joy of regaining freedom, as he quickly escaped from the imperial bed and stepped onto solid ground.
I had a long-lost feeling, a feeling that was incredibly reassuring.
I almost burst into tears on the spot.
Who knows how he spent that night? At first, he was happy and excited, but later he felt like a small boat drifting in the ocean.
The waves crashed against us, each one more powerful than the last, and in the ebb and flow, we forgot everything.
They only know how to drift with the wind! They passively accept their fate and have no right to say "no".
When Xiao Yang entered with only a group of palace eunuchs, he saw a figure standing behind the screen.
Just as I was about to walk over, I heard His Majesty's voice.
"Put the things down, and you may all leave."
Xiao Yangzi could only suppress his curiosity and lead the group of eunuchs outside.
After closing the door, he waved everyone away, and he stood guard outside the door alone.
Ning Qing found Qu Shaoyu's legs weak but his attempt to remain calm particularly endearing.
He took a few big strides and carried the person horizontally in his arms.
Qu Shaoyu's expression changed drastically, and he spoke urgently.
"Brother Qing, we really can't continue. It's time for court."
Ning Qing looked down at the person in her arms and heard his voice crack from his anxiety.
A slight smile played at the corners of her lips, and her eyes held amusement.
"What are you thinking? I just want to hold you while we wash up."
Her gaze fell on him, and she asked with a smile.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Qu Shaoyu quickly refused.
"No, no, I don't want to continue."
After Ning Qing placed the person in her arms on the soft couch, she found clothes and dressed him one by one.
Looking at the person on the soft couch, dressed in a dragon robe and exuding majesty, he licked his lips and another good idea rose in his mind.
Qu Shaoyu trembled involuntarily when he saw Ning Qing's gaze.
I just want to get out of here immediately; this person is too dangerous!
