Chapter 618 Pretending to be Sick
Although I slept outside, I had a sleepless night.
The next morning, Helian Yue missed the morning court session and waited until Si Linglong woke up, making sure she was okay.
Si Linglong is really fine.
The pain I dared not recall yesterday seemed like a dream when I woke up today.
I don't feel any discomfort, except...
arm.
I held the cat for the whole night last night. Although I wasn't suffocated by the weight, my arms are numb.
"Hiss... I can't take it anymore, hurry up..."
[My arm is numb.]
When Helian Yue heard her humming, he reached out his hand and carefully massaged the acupuncture points on her arm without waiting for Shuhong and Qinglu to come forward.
After all, Helian Yue had been on the battlefield before, so he knew a little about the acupuncture points that could activate blood circulation.
While the two were showing their affection, 朏朏 jumped off Si Linglong.
Helian Yue tightened his hands, but after Xixi left, Si Linglong did not have another attack, so he felt relieved and let Xixi leave.
朏朏 glanced at Helian Yue's eyes and slowly shook her cat head like an old lady.
In the past, I have seen the Emperor being cold-hearted and have also heard the Empress Dowager worry about the Emperor's future.
Who could have thought that this man would be like this after having a girl he likes.
In the past, he was so respectful to this old lady, but now he even watches her when she goes out to stretch her muscles. Does he want her to stick to Si Linglong for twelve hours a day?
Because Si Linglong was fine, the people in the hall didn't pay attention to what Xixi was doing outside.
Just as 朏朏 was strolling to the door, a group of people suddenly came running in. It was Xueshan and Huayan who had just woken up.
As Xueshan entered the room, he ran into 朏朏 and instinctively squatted down to hug her.
However, she didn't expect that Xiaoxiao, who had always been docile and allowed her to hold him in the arms, suddenly stretched out his long tail to block her way, as if to refuse.
After being held for the entire night, not only her delicate arms were feeling uncomfortable, but even her old bones were feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She wanted to take advantage of the good morning sunshine and roll around on the tiles on the roof.
Although Xueshan was rejected by Xiaoxiao for the first time, she was not angry because she was still thinking about Linglong's body.
Seeing Xixi leaving, he did not chase after her, but ran into the inner hall. Seeing Linglong leaning on the bed and letting Yueyue massage her shoulders, he immediately stretched out his short legs and rushed over.
"Linglong, are you okay?"
Hua Yan followed closely and walked quickly to the bed.
She also heard the noise here last night, but asked the palace maids to keep her outside, so she could only wait to come with Xueshan in the morning.
"My lady, Hua Yan is worried about you."
Si Linglong first looked at the little ball that had fallen to her legs, and then looked at Hua Yan who was obviously worried. She thought that the two of them must have been scared by what happened last night.
He raised his arm, which had finally calmed down, and motioned for her to come over.
Upon seeing this, Hua Yan immediately stepped forward, not daring to squeeze with Xue Sha, and squatted beside the bed to watch her.
Si Linglong reached out and patted her and Xueshan on the head, and said in a soothing voice, "Thanks to you, I'm fine."
Xue Sha also saw last night how Xiaoxiao used her magic power to suppress Linglong. She looked serious for once and said in a baby voice, "Okay, Feifei. From now on, let Feifei sleep with you."
Xuesha thought that Linglong's good complexion today was due to the sleep she had with Feifei last night.
It was rare for her to be so generous, but Helian Yue, who was standing beside her, slightly changed color when he heard her words.
I don't think I'll have to sleep with you every night from now on, right?
Si Linglong was unaware of Ah Yue's "worry". She thought that Xue Shan had to sleep with her every day since she had raised Xiao Xiao. So she pinched Xue Shan's tender little face and discussed with her, "Then I'll bring Li Sheng's cloth tiger to sleep with you."
[It’s only seven days anyway, the system won’t see that I’m being tortured so much that it will deliberately delay the punishment.]
Si Linglong muttered to herself, and upon hearing this, Helian Yue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
Seven days is fine.
"I don't like rag dolls." Xue Sha hummed in a baby voice, looking proud, "I'm not Li Sheng, who needs to hug a rag doll to fall asleep."
Si Linglong laughed and thought to herself,
[You don't have to hold a doll, but the toys on your bed aren't much better.]
After talking to Xue Sha for a while, Si Linglong had breakfast served by the palace maids.
Because of the extra "diagnosis" that A Yue asked Chen Yizheng last night, Si Linglong had to put on some pretense now. Otherwise, if word spread that A Yue stayed at Yuxiu Palace last night and closed the gate of Lianrui Palace, the Queen Mother would definitely come to ask for an explanation every time the ministers expressed their opinions.
Perhaps what you fear will come true. Si Linglong was just thinking about the Queen Mother when she heard a palace maid come to report from outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the maids from Ciyun Palace are here on the orders of the Empress Dowager."
As soon as the palace maid's words reached the hall, Si Linglong put down her bowl of porridge almost instantly, then lay down in the quilt with a bang, humming weakly.
Xue Sha and Hua Yan, who were standing by, were stunned.
Helian Yue also found it funny, but he just let her do what she wanted.
He turned his head, his face slightly gloomy, and ordered in a deep voice, "Come in."
He knew that the Queen Mother was looking for him.
