Chapter 67 Love is Restraint

Helian Yue stared at Si Linglong in front of him with a gloomy look.

I'll give you a chance to take back what you just said!

But it is obvious that it is impossible to take it back.

Si Linglong was even more puzzled when she saw Helian Yue's face suddenly turned gloomy.

[Hey guys, are you showing me how to change your face in one second? ]

Fu Tai looked on nervously, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

Before Helian Yue could say anything, Si Linglong stopped talking and looked at Futai in disbelief.

[Hey, hey, what do you mean by that? Do you think I am plotting to harm him? If you speak nonsense, you will be subject to the law. I will sue you.]

Cursing in her heart, she put on a cautious and frightened look when facing Helian Yueshi, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Helian Yue looked at her and sneered.

Keep pretending!

She actually dared to give him medicine used on animals. She really didn't know what it meant when the emperor was angry that millions of people would be killed!

"Nothing." Helian Yue responded coldly, and then glanced at Si Linglong's desk, and immediately spoke with a vengeful heart,

"My beloved concubine likes to practice calligraphy. Futai, bring me my Yongyi Sutra tomorrow. My beloved concubine, remember to practice well."

Fu Tai was a little surprised when he heard this.

Of course he knew about the Emperor's Yongyi Sutra, which was written by the Emperor himself the year he ascended the throne. It was a treasure of calligraphy that was more precious than anything else. How could he just give it to Lang Guiren to practice calligraphy?

Tsk, look at this preference.

Fu Tai didn't know that Helian Yue chose Yongyi Sutra for only one reason.

Because it's thick.

If you can't always be punished to copy the palace rules, then just copy that. It would be best if you can cultivate yourself and learn to meditate in the process of copying.

Yes, the key is stillness.

When Helian Yue thought about it, he felt that his tone had become much smoother.

Then it was time to go to bed. After washing up, Helian Yue sent the waiters away as usual, and then he took the center of the bed without hesitation, and asked caringly, "My beloved, if you feel cold at night, I will ask someone to light the floor dragon."

The concubines in the harem basically burned charcoal in winter, and only the Linghua Palace where the emperor lived had a ground dragon.

It was convenient for Si Linglong to live here, although it was not yet time to burn a ground dragon.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm not cold." Si Linglong said, and looked at Helian Yue on the bed with complicated eyes. It was rare that she didn't curse at him in her heart. Instead, she looked at him with a hint of pity.

[They say liking someone is unbridled, while love is restraint...] Si Linglong thought, [He must have had a hard time holding back.]

Helian Yue: ...

He really had a hard time enduring it.

Every day I try hard to resist the urge to strangle her to death.

Isn’t it very hard?

Taking a deep breath, Helian Yue pretended to be deaf, lay down, closed his eyes, and asked her again, "Where did you finish reading last time?"

When Si Linglong heard this, she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

[No way? Still coming?! ]

As Helian Yue, who was lying on the bed, listened to the sound of his heart, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This was probably the only time he could make her crazy but helpless.

Ever since the first night when he summoned her to "sleep with him" and the magic music lingered in his ears, Helian Yue did not summon her to sleep with him for several days. However, he was worried that outsiders would find out that he was a fake favorite, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and call her again.

After failing to sleep well for two consecutive nights, Helian Yue came up with a solution.

That is, let her read bedtime articles to herself.

To be honest, Si Linglong was outstanding in appearance and could be called a beauty. Her voice was also clear and melodious, which was pleasant to the ears, except, of course, when she was complaining in her heart.

Helian Yue originally just wanted to make her shut up in this way, but he accidentally discovered that the sound of her reading was very hypnotic. He had always been a sleep-deprived person, so of course he couldn't let her go after discovering this effect.

After that, he felt at ease letting her sleep with him, and every time she slept with him, he asked her to read to him by his bed.

At first she recited poems, but later I found that boring, so I asked her to read some works of great practical knowledge. The last time she recited was "Encouragement to the World".

What seemed like a meaningful policy of persuasion to Helian Yue was simply torture to Si Linglong.

But she couldn't refuse, so she could only silently pull out the book of persuasion from the cabinet beside her, and read from the previous part in the dim candlelight, her voice soft and a little bit sticky.

Helian Yue closed his eyes, listened to the sound of her reading, and fell into a deep sleep with a rare slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a long time, Si Linglong yawned, and then heard only the heavy breathing sounds in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief, put the book down, and carefully looked at Helian Yue who was sleeping on the bed. The relaxed and soft arc at the corners of his mouth was more than a hundred times more comforting than the locked look between his brows when he was injured and unconscious.

He hummed inwardly.

[If it weren't for the gentle and handsome look you have when you fall asleep, I wouldn't read it to you. ]

After a while, he couldn't help but continue mumbling.

[Isn't this better than the usual frowning and angry look? ]

Thinking of this, Si Linglong stood up, blew out the candle in front of the bed, then crawled into the mat beside the bed and fell asleep peacefully.
