Cinnabar Mark?
Linghu Lan instantly understood.
She sighed silently, suppressing her thoughts. This was Jun Zhe's inner conflict, and he needed to find the answer himself.
She obediently listened to Jun Zhe's words and carefully examined his body. Jun Zhe's body was as smooth as silk, revealing the immaturity of a young man, yet the outline of a handsome man could already be seen. He had an extraordinary appearance and delicate bones, and was a natural clothes hanger.
Jun Zhe closed her eyes, feeling Linghu Lan's gaze sweep over her, her body tense and flushed.
After a while.
Linghu Lan laughed and said, "It's clean and there's nothing there."
Jun Zhe opened his eyes, the heat in his heart subsided, leaving only a cool sensation. The vague idea in his mind became more and more certain, but he still lacked some evidence.
Linghu Lan helped him put on his clothes one by one, and calmly asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Jun Zhe was startled, as if he had been frightened. He was stunned for a long time, and then took Linghu Lan's hand and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry!"
Through the thin fabric, Linghu Lan could feel his heartbeat.
He spoke earnestly, and she listened attentively.
In a fleeting moment, it felt as if they had lived half a lifetime together, their hearts pounding in each other's chests.
Linghu Lan smiled, feeling very happy. She could feel that Jun Zhe had transformed in an instant, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, breaking free of his cocoon and becoming a butterfly.
He overcame a major hurdle in his life, and from then on he was no longer a filial son who valued filial piety above all else, but an emperor who ruled the world and unified the country.
"There's nothing I should apologize for between us, only that it's okay!" Linghu Lan gently patted his back. Perhaps because Jun Zhe was young, she always had a lot of patience with him. After all, waiting for him to grow up was something that required a lot of patience.
Jun Zhe trembled slightly and said softly, "The Empress Dowager may have made many mistakes, but there is one thing she did absolutely right, which was to marry you to me."
With this estrangement, Jun Zhe was no longer willing to address the Empress Dowager as "Mother." A cloud of doubt hung over him, and he felt that he was only one step away from the truth.
Linghu Lan perked up immediately, her heart melting.
My sister's Tang, she truly is the world's biggest diamond-studded blue-chip stock; her sweet nothings are incredibly romantic.
"Hmm, say something nice to me again."
Jun Zhe: "..."
Ah, women!
"Speak quickly!" Linghu Lan urged impatiently.
Unable to resist Linghu Lan's persistent entanglement, Jun Zhe thought for a moment and slowly said, "If I exchange my heart for yours, you will know that my heart is like yours."
Linghu Lan was immediately charmed. Wow, my Tang has finally learned from Wei Jing and her flirting skills are almost maxed out.
Jun Zhe's eyes gleamed with an unusual light as he stared intently at Linghu Lan. He didn't know why, but just looking at the person in front of him filled him with boundless joy.
The two looked at each other silently, and Jun Zhe felt much better.
There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Anyuan's voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has already awakened. Please go and see her."
Jun Zhe's heart, which had been filled with tender warmth, turned cold again. However, because of Linghu Lan, he had the courage to face the many indifferences of the world.
He lowered his head, counting Linghu Lan's fingers one by one. Finally, when it was time for him to leave, he solemnly said, "Wait for me to come back!"
"Okay!" Linghu Lan nodded obediently. "I'll wait for you with the lamp lit. Be careful."
Jun Zhe waved his hand, calmly facing the cruel world that had been unintentionally torn open before him.
