His eyes trembled violently, and his subsequent actions were entirely based on instinct, his mind was already in a mess.
Haitang's expression was calm, as if she didn't even notice him, and she looked away naturally.
The Queen beside him felt that there was something wrong with the Imperial Master's expression, and was looking at Haitang in confusion, but she saw that Haitang was completely unfamiliar with the Imperial Master and there was nothing unusual about her...
She turned her eyes away, thinking she had seen it wrongly.
...
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was very complicated, and it took nearly an hour to complete step by step.
When everything was over, everyone began to disperse one by one.
Ye Zhixu, as the imperial teacher, was the last to leave.
He always looked a little unhappy.
It might be because of the injury, or it might be because he saw Haitang wearing the Empress Dowager's palace dress.
He didn't dare to think about it!!
...
Is this just saying he doesn't want to think about it? Haitang must make him think about her, and let him think about her enough.
That night, after confirming with Jiutong the route to meet Emperor An and making sure nothing would go wrong, Haitang slipped out and went straight to the Imperial Master's room.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Ye Zhixu looked like he had just taken a shower, with some moisture still on his body and his hair completely dry.
He just stood in front of the window blankly.
Haitang knocked several times before he was able to wake up.
When he opened the door and saw her pretty little face, he was stunned. He put his hand on the door and stood in the middle.
"Why don't you invite me in to talk?"
"My lady..."
His voice was light, and when he realized that his address was wrong, he changed it reluctantly, "Why is the Empress Dowager here?"
Although his voice was cold, his body naturally moved away.
Haitang didn't care about his attitude. A person with 100% favorability can be said to love you more than he loves himself. No matter what expression he makes, his heart will always be burning.
As soon as Haitang entered the room, Ye Zhixu looked at the door and closed it.
Before he could turn around, she had already fallen into his arms softly, "Ah Xu, I have never thought of lying to you. Yesterday..."
Ye Zhixu's eyes were extremely complicated, and he felt as if a hole had been dug in his heart. However, when he saw the trembling shoulders of the girl in his arms, he felt so reluctant that he finally reached out and hugged her.
"Ah Xu..."
"You lied to me yesterday, and it was my fault yesterday."
"Ah Xu, I don't blame you, but I have a special status and I can't implicate you. What happened yesterday... let's just pretend nothing happened..."
Ye Zhixu straightened her shoulders, his eyes full of anger. Just as he was about to get angry, he glanced at the corners of her crystal clear eyes, and his heart instantly softened.
The words on her lips also changed, "Don't cry, I regret what I did yesterday. I really like you. It doesn't matter if your identity is embarrassing. As long as you are willing, I can help you leave the palace."
Haitang raised her eyes and looked at him, "Ah Xu, what do you mean?"
Ye Zhixu took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and held her in his arms again, "I will help you leave the palace, change your identity, and we will continue our relationship, okay? I promise that I will never let you down in my life, and I will love you, respect you, and protect you."
Haitang: "......"
Why do they all want her to change her identity? Really...
Haitang shook her head, "Ah Xu, I can't leave, at least not for the time being. I'm sorry... Let's just treat what happened yesterday as if it had never happened."
"Why? Don't you have any feelings for me?"
Haitang thought about what he said about the three-way relationship...
"Ah Xu, from the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were familiar, like my destined lover... I don't know why, but I feel so bad for you..."
Ye Zhixu's eyes lit up, "Haitang, you feel the same way, right?"
Haitang nodded and continued: "I'm afraid I'm not destined to be with you in my life. My identity is too embarrassing, and I have my own difficulties. I can't leave for the time being..."
"Haitang, I'll wait for you, okay?"
"Ah Xu, no need for that, because I don't know how long I will have to suffer in this deep palace."
Ye Zhixu felt bitter in his heart, but he did not ask any more questions. He just bent down and kissed her lips gently.
