Finally lying back on the bed, she felt a certain burning gaze again.
What does Helan Ruizhe want to do? Isn't it just that I didn't let him kiss me this afternoon?!
Jin Suting simply got up and met that burning gaze. After three seconds, she closed her eyes and said, "Come on!"
Look, what kind of vicious words are these? Helan Ruizhe was completely confused. What are you doing, wife?
"What's coming?"
This time it was Jin Suting's turn to have a question mark face. Could it be that Helan Ruizhe was not just trying to continue the square root process this afternoon but simply wanted to protect her?
Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also become so pure?
"No, nothing." Jin Suting lay back on the pillow with red cheeks. She almost made a fool of herself. Would Helan Ruizhe think she was a very hungry woman?
“Susu.”
Just as she was thinking this, Jin Suting heard such a sexy baritone voice, and her female hormones surged everywhere, making her really excited if she didn't suppress it.
"Um?"
Her face was hot, and she covered her face with her cool hands in the dark. The next moment, her cold hands were wrapped in warm palms. Helan Ruizhe turned over and climbed onto the bed.
Jin Suting was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, her body was stiff, her eyes were wide open in the darkness, and she couldn't utter a syllable for a long time.
She just let Helan Ruizhe hold her like this, his hot breath tickling her neck.
"He, Helan Ruizhe?"
She wanted to pull out her hand that was restrained by Helan Ruizhe, but after just a slight movement, it was restrained again.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." Helan Ruizhe's pleasant and magnetic voice was right next to her ears. Her ears were burning and dyed pink in the darkness.
It was unknown how long it took before Helan Ruizhe seemed satisfied. He turned over and lay beside Jin Suting, still holding her hand.
"You, what's wrong with you?" Jin Suting had already noticed that he was in a bad mood today, but she couldn't find an opportunity to speak.
"The imperial physician said that grandma won't live for many days." Helan Ruizhe said the reason for his sudden low mood in a serious tone.
This news hit Jin Suting's heart like a huge rock, breaking through the water surface and sinking to the bottom of the sea with a loud noise.
"How, how could this happen?" The last time we met was just yesterday, and we were both fine. How could it suddenly be gone in just a few days?
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are all inevitable." Helan Ruizhe suppressed his emotions. The imperial physician said that the queen mother had at most one month to live.
For a month, Helan Minzhi did not go to Simu Kingdom, and the seven cities were still in their hands.
Jin Suting didn't know what to say to comfort him. She had never experienced the death of a loved one and couldn't understand Helan Ruizhe's feelings. She turned sideways and put one arm around his shoulders, clutching his clothes, and held him tightly with the other hand.
"I'll give you power."
This is so childish. I don’t know when Jin Suting learned this.
In fact, she had a lot to say to Helan Ruizhe, such as asking him to be more open-minded and at least spend more time with her in these last moments.
But she couldn't put it into words, and she couldn't empathize with many of the experiences.
Even someone she thought was as strong as Helan Ruizhe was so fragile when facing the imminent death of his loved ones.
Helan Ruizhe knew that this day should have come a long time ago, and he had done all the necessary mental preparation. When he first found out, he was not as sad as he is now.
He didn't want to show this emotion, but he was not that strong after all, and still couldn't hide his emotions well.
Or maybe he didn't want to hide it from her.
It was not until the next day that Jin Suting realized that she had slept with Helan Ruizhe without knowing what was going on.
She felt a little shy, but when she woke up, the person next to her was gone and the bed on the floor had been made up. Only then did her sadness gradually come out and spread throughout her body.
Thinking that today seemed to be the day when Regent Si Shuo would arrive in Funing City, she had to go to the palace today as well.
Jin Suting got up and saw a note under the place where the chestnut cake was placed yesterday. The chestnut cake had been replaced with almost cold porridge and eggs.
She picked up the note, on which was written Helan Ruizhe's familiar handwriting: Get ready, I'll pick you up after noon.
At noon, Jin Suting looked outside and saw that it was still an hour before noon!
Oh my god, why did she sleep so soundly and so late!!!
I must have been too tired from coaxing Helan Ruizhe to sleep last night.
During this hour, she has to match her clothes and jewelry, and put on appropriate makeup.
It’s so difficult…
"Miss Jin, are you awake?" Two maids walked in from outside, one holding a set of clothes and the other holding a set of jewelry.
Jin Suting thought to herself, Helan Ruizhe was so thoughtful!
She asked the maid to put the things down, drank a mouthful of porridge, and then sat back at the dressing table to dress herself.
***
Outside Funing City.
Prime Minister Tang and his men waited here for a long time, a full four hours, and he didn't even go to the morning court.
But there was no sign of the Regent for a long time, and the person sent came back to say that he would be here soon.
It's almost here. We sent people to check eight times in four hours, and each time they said that the Regent's carriage was about to arrive.
But which time was it really fast?
He was a prime minister, but he had to wait for four envoys in the sun. This was too embarrassing.
He walked to the side and the servant held an umbrella for him. He sat leisurely on a chair, fanning himself.
A carriage was getting bigger and bigger as it approached from afar. Prime Minister Tang suddenly sat up. It seemed that the carriage of Regent Si Shuo had arrived.
