Su Jiaojiao was afraid of his terrifying energy. The unsatisfied look in his eyes made her heart tremble slightly. She hurriedly put on her clothes and climbed up.
Seeing her back as if she was fleeing in panic, Ye Jiuli couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
This was the best time to practice. Su Jiaojiao sat cross-legged, held her breath, and began the first stage of practice.
Seeing that she was very diligent, Ye Jiuli did not disturb her, but stood up and took a look around.
When he looked in a certain direction, his brows suddenly frowned.
He flew away and landed above the palace.
His long hair moved without wind. He squinted his eyes and felt it carefully, and detected a trace of demonic energy lingering in the air.
This aura is quite familiar, and I don’t know where I have encountered it before.
He knew very well that without the emperor's invitation, ordinary monsters would not be able to enter the palace at will, so this monster was definitely not a good one.
There are many monsters in the world, and there are also many spirits in the human world who have cultivated themselves into monsters. This is nothing to be afraid of.
After Su Jiaojiao finished her training and didn't see anyone, she flew over and followed.
"Ye Jiuli, I have something to tell you." Su Jiaojiao pulled his sleeve and whispered.
In the long corridor below, four palace maids walked in a neat row, like four neat little black dots, with nothing unusual.
Ye Jiuli turned his head to look at her serious expression, and his brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again.
Su Jiaojiao raised her hand and touched him, "Don't frown like that, you'll turn into an old man."
Frowning is such a harmful action to the skin, so it is best to avoid it.
She added in her mind.
Ye Jiuli pulled her hand and held it in his palm. Sure enough, his brows relaxed, and Su Jiaojiao also curled the corners of her lips.
The two came to a secluded place, and the wintersweet in the corner began to wither, revealing tender buds.
It's perfect for discussing things.
"I think Dongfang Ninghe has a crush on me." Su Jiaojiao said shyly, not daring to look into Ye Jiuli's eyes.
The air between the two of them was stagnant for a moment, and a gust of wind blew, bringing up a few fallen leaves.
Ye Jiuli looked at Su Jiaojiao steadily. He couldn't see the slightest hint of joking on her face, but there wasn't any.
Su Jiaojiao would not joke with him about such things.
"Go on." Ye Jiuli pulled her over and let her sit on his lap.
"I found that there seemed to be something wrong with this man. I entered his dream last night." Su Jiaojiao let him rub her fingers and told Ye Jiuli everything she knew in the past few days.
After listening to this, Ye Jiuli looked thoughtful and rubbed Su Jiaojiao's fingers from time to time.
This is his usual action when thinking about problems.
Su Jiaojiao did not disturb him and waited quietly for his answer.
Suddenly, I felt a tightness on my waist, and I was turned over. I was leaning on his arms just now, but now I was sitting astride his legs, facing him.
This posture made Su Jiaojiao's face turn red, and she felt like escaping.
But Ye Jiuli pinched her waist, not letting her move at all.
The two of them were so close that even their breaths were entangled.
His eyes were so deep that Su Jiaojiao was inadvertently mesmerized by them.
"Where is Jiaojiao?" Ye Jiuli looked at her straight with a questioning look in his eyes.
"What?" Su Jiaojiao didn't understand what he meant.
"Will Jiaojiao like Dongfang Ninghe?" Ye Jiuli's tone was already a little dangerous, and his hands held her tightly in his arms.
"What if I say yes?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but want to tease him when she saw him like this.
The result was that the branches of flowers trembled and petals fell everywhere. Su Jiaojiao's plea for mercy was shattered as soon as she spoke.
The baby in the belly was well protected by Ye Jiuli, and felt particularly safe even at a time like this.
Su Jiaojiao was really about to cry. She never wanted to tease this man again!
She almost forgot that provoking a wolf that had lost its mind would mean death.
Ye Jiuli wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his brows softening.
This is probably what it means when you taste the marrow and know the taste.
When Dongfang Ninghe learned that Ye Jiuli was also coming, he immediately invited him and held a dinner party for him in the evening.
In fact, there is no need to go to such great lengths, but he is too excited.
Only Su Jiaojiao felt that there was an ulterior motive behind this.
She has told Ye Jiuli everything she needs to say, and now it all depends on how Ye Jiuli responds.
She felt that this dinner party was very aggressive. Could it be a Hongmen Banquet?
It was called a dinner party, but in fact it was just a meal for four people.
During the meal, Dongfang Ninghe always picked food for Jiang Ruyi and added clothes for her, taking good care of her emotions.
It’s just that Jiang Ruyi herself has always been in a bad mood. She looks a little listless and even clapped her hands twice in response.
This is very wrong.
Su Jiaojiao observed for a while but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"If you are not feeling well, you can go and rest first. Your Majesty, my sisters are here to serve you." The speaker was a concubine who was dressed gorgeously but had an average appearance.
Jiang Ruyi was really annoyed.
Jiang Ruyi looked at her steadily, then said to Dongfang Ninghe, "Your Majesty, I think Concubine Li is right. I am indeed feeling unwell. Why not let her serve Your Majesty?"
Before Dongfang Ninghe could say anything, Jiang Ruyi stood up on her own, bowed and left the table alone.
"My sister is pregnant, and it is no longer suitable for her to continue to monopolize His Majesty. This is the right way." Concubine Li said in a low voice as the two passed by each other.
Jiang Ruyi just glanced at her lightly and left without saying anything.
The other concubines were already furious when they saw her like this!
If they had been more proactive, or even just one step faster than Concubine Li, they might have been the next ones to serve the emperor up close!
They all glared at Concubine Li.
Dongfang Ninghe knew that Jiang Ruyi was angry with him, but he didn't intend to chase after her to explain.
This is his dignity as a man, but he is increasingly dissatisfied with Jiang Ruyi.
Concubine Li raised her chin proudly, pleased that Jiang Ruyi was so tactful this time.
She stood up and sat next to Dongfang Ninghe. Seeing that he had finished a glass of wine, she took the initiative to pour him another one.
"Your Majesty, drunkenness is harmful to your health." Concubine Li said with a smile in what she thought was the sweetest voice.
Dongfang Ninghe glared at her with bloodshot eyes, "Get out!"
A low roar made Concubine Li tremble with fear, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
How could the emperor, who seemed so gentle and elegant to her, say such a word?
Concubine Li was suddenly panicked. She felt that people were teasing her from all sides and felt ashamed.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Dongfang Ninghe cursed again.
Only then did Concubine Li cover her face and run away.
The atmosphere at the scene was stagnant for a moment.
"Human Emperor Ninghe, if you are drunk, don't drink anymore." Ye Jiuli advised.
He didn't notice anything unusual about Dongfang Ninghe, nor did he find any demonic aura on him.
