When Qi Xinyuan heard Qu Xiaotan's words, he realized that she was actually Qu Chengan's sister.
Qi Xinyuan was a little puzzled. How could a man as cunning as Qu Cheng'an have such a sister?
But it’s also good this way, he can use Qu Xiaotan to get a lot of information he wants to know.
Qi Xinyuan followed Qu Xiaotan to the front hall of her bedroom.
Qu Xiaotan asked Qi Xinyuan to sit down and had someone bring him some hot tea to warm him up.
Qi Xinyuan was so focused on finding out from Qu Xiaotan how Sudan Ruo and Qu Cheng'an reconciled that he didn't notice that there was a hint of admiration in Qu Xiaotan's eyes when she looked at him.
"I was disrespectful just now. I should have addressed you as Your Highness."
Qu Xiaotan was not used to being called that.
"Just call me Xiao Tan. I was just a child who was not favored by my father. No one even called me Your Highness."
Qi Xinyuan smiled slightly and called out affectionately:
"Princess Xiao Tan, you are always Her Royal Highness. What happened in the past is in the past. Princess Xiao Tan should look forward to the future."
When Qu Xiaotan heard her name being called out by Qi Xinyuan, she suddenly felt that her name could be so nice.
Qi Xinyuan asked:
"Princess Xiaotan, do you know what happened between Miss Su and His Majesty? How did they reconcile overnight?"
Although Qu Xiaotan was completely bewildered by Qi Xinyuan, she knew that some things that were disadvantageous to her should not be said, so she chose to say what she could:
"I'm not really sure about this, but this morning when I was in Fenglan Palace looking for my brother to play, the sister-in-law suddenly came to see him, and then they reconciled.
Maybe something happened last night!"
Qi Xinyuan saw that he couldn't get much useful information, so he decided to go directly to Sudan Ruo to ask.
"I see it's getting late. I've been bothering Princess Xiaotan for so long, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come back another day with some gifts to express my gratitude and visit Your Highness."
Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Qu Xiaotan did not keep Qi Xinyuan and watched him leave until he could no longer see his back.
"How can there be such a handsome man in the world!"
The maid next to Qu Xiaotan said:
"Your Highness always said that His Majesty was the most handsome man in the world. Now, someone else has caught your eye?"
Qu Xiaotan shyly nudged the little maid and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. I won't give you a storybook tonight."
Qi Xinyuan came to Fenglan Palace and wanted to go in but was told that His Majesty had already left.
Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to wait until the next time he entered the palace to find an opportunity to ask Sultan Ruo clearly.
He didn't believe that the Sultan would forgive his father's murderer so easily.
There must be a reason for this.
After Qu Cheng'an and Sultan Ruo returned to the palace together, they had dinner together.
Qu Cheng'an wanted to stay overnight, but Sultanruo lay down on the bed first. However, he used the excuse that he was not feeling well and could not sleep with him, and wanted to drive Qu Cheng'an away.
Unexpectedly, Qu Chengan was so shameless as to lie directly on her bed.
"Your Majesty! You can't be such a scoundrel!"
Qu Chengan, however, had an expression that said, "I'm a scoundrel, what can you do to me?" He covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and said,
"It's okay. I just want to hold you and sleep together. Since you're not feeling well, I should stay with you."
When there were no outsiders around, Qu Cheng'an never called himself "I" in front of Sultan Ruo.
He always felt that this would easily remind Sudan of his previous sad memories, and the name was very cold. He hoped that the relationship between them would be closer.
Qu Chengan opened his eyes and saw that Sudanruo was staring at him and did not lie down, so he said:
"What? Do you need me to hold you in your arms to sleep?"
Sultan Ruo had no choice but to lie down beside Qu Cheng'an reluctantly.
Sudanruo thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep quickly after listening to Qu Cheng'an's steady breathing.
In the middle of the night, Sudan Ruo was woken up by the cold and found that all the quilts had been rolled away by Qu Cheng'an.
She tried to pull the quilt back, but it was impossible.
Helplessly, Sultanruo could only curl up and wrap herself in her outer robe. She fell asleep as she felt sleepy.
This time, Sudanruo had a dream for the first time ever. In the dream, a voice kept calling her name.
Sultan tried to find where the sound came from, but there was fog all around her and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Sudan Ruo finally woke up from his dream, and when he opened his eyes he saw Qu Cheng'an's anxious look.
When Qu Cheng'an woke up in the morning, he turned sideways and looked at Su Danruo's sleeping posture.
However, he found that Sudan Ruo's expression gradually began to look strange, his brows were furrowed, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Qu Cheng'an wanted to wake up Su Danruo, but it was no use. When he touched Su Danruo, his body was still hot.
He hurriedly called the imperial physician, who said that the Sultan had caught a cold and was having a nightmare due to excessive worrying.
The imperial physician took out an acupuncture needle and gave Sudanruo several injections before he woke up.
Seeing that Sultanruo had woken up, the imperial physician quickly removed all the needles from her body.
When Sudan came to his senses, he found that he was holding Qu Cheng'an's hand tightly.
She tried to pull her hand back feeling a little embarrassed, but Qu Chengan held it tightly.
"Ruoruo, you really scared me to death. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I really don't know what to do.
Ruoruo, please never leave me, okay?"
Sudan Ruo nodded softly, but in her heart she just wanted to pull her hand back.
Sudan tried to recall the dream he had just had, but found that he could not remember anything except the fear he felt in the dream.
If the Sultan didn't think too much about it, he would just think that he was really having a nightmare as the imperial physician said.
Su Dan wanted to tell Qu Cheng'an that he was fine, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. He could only utter a hoarse voice: "Water."
Sonny immediately handed a glass of water to Sudanruo from the side.
Sudan felt much better after drinking it.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. If Your Majesty hadn't fought with me for the quilt last night, I wouldn't have gotten so sick."
Qu Chengan glanced at the people around him with a guilty conscience and assured:
"I won't fight with Ruoruo for the quilt again tonight. Please forgive me this time!"
Su Danruo looked at Qu Chengan with an expression that did not allow for negotiation.
"No, Your Majesty must not sleep in the same bed with me tonight!"
Qu Cheng'an had no choice but to settle for the second best and said that he would just sleep on the floor as before.
Sultan had no choice but to agree to Qu Cheng'an's proposal since he couldn't persuade him.
The people around were all sighing in their hearts that His Majesty, who was usually decisive and ruthless, actually had such a tough and tender side.
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at the two of them, for fear that if they knew too much, Qu Cheng'an would make things difficult for them.
Qu Cheng'an glanced at the annoying group of people in the room and waved his hand to signal them to leave.
Everyone then followed Meng Dahe and quickly left the house.
