Chapter 94 (9,000 words) Two phases of jealousy, Yin...
The wind rose, silently caressing the spacious hall, bringing bursts of fragrant flower scent.
Because Yin Xing rested in bed and recuperated well, he gradually became less sleepy and more energetic.
That's why Yin Xing discovered that the hall was no longer filled with the faint medicinal mist as before. Instead, the room was filled with flowers and green plants, which were arranged lushly and abundantly.
Perhaps it was the embellishment of the delicate and bright flowers that made Xuan Yizhen beside the couch look more beautiful and graceful, adding a touch of freshness.
Yin Xing clearly remembered that on the night when they first met, Xuan Yizhen also appeared like this among the flowers and plants, quiet and gentle, mysterious and peaceful, with a beauty that was not tainted by the world, ethereal and ethereal.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
Xuan Yizhen was flipping through the documents when he noticed Yin Xing was particularly energetic today. Meeting his intense gaze, he softly called out, "Why are you looking at me?"
The infatuated Yin Xing recovered somewhat and said with an awkward laugh, "Hehe, it's really pretty."
"Okay, then you continue watching." Xuan Yizheng responded calmly, his dark eyes reflecting Yin Xing's smiling eyes, his thin lips raised slightly, the amplitude was shallow, like ripples on the lake, layer upon layer.
"Yizhen, why is there suddenly no fumigation in the hall?" Yin Xing saw Xuan Yizhen's gentle smile, like the bright moon, shining brightly, making people feel itchy, so he had to change his mind.
Xuan Yizhen replied calmly, "Those medicines are harmful to your recovery. Besides, I promised to cooperate in the treatment of the poison, so naturally we must avoid the taboo of conflicting medicines."
Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen's calm reaction, but knew that it was not easy for her to do this. He raised his hand, took her hand and put it on his cheek, and said seriously: "Yizhen, don't be afraid, I will accompany you."
Having experienced a lot since coming to this world, Yin Xing knows clearly how harsh Xuan Yizheng's living environment is.
Therefore, Yin Xing didn't dare to look for anyone else except Liu Ci and the others, so as not to bring danger to Xuan Yizheng.
"Yes, I know." Xuan Yizheng touched Yin Xing's cheek with his fingertips and said softly. The smile in his eyes faded and was filled with pity.
Over the years, Xuan Yizheng never believed in other people's prescriptions, so he studied medicine.
But now all possible methods have been tried, not to mention the incident that almost killed Yin Xing. If he simply refuses, it will only hurt himself and Yin Xing in the end.
However, Xuan Yizheng cooperated with Liu Ci's treatment not because he trusted her, but because he knew her weakness and could ensure that he would not be held hostage.
After a long time, Yin Xing fell into a deep sleep. Xuan Yizheng took back his hand from the pillow and stood up to leave the inner hall.
The afternoon light became increasingly bright and dazzling. When Yin Xing woke up from his nap, the inner hall was brightly lit and the flowers were full and bright, but Xuan Yizheng was nowhere to be seen. He guessed that she might be busy with something.
Yin Xing slowly stood up, not daring to rush. She raised her hand to pick up the tea and drank it. Seeing the female official come in to serve the medicine, her eyes fell on the side of her face and asked with concern, "How are you using the ointment that Doctor Liu gave you?"
The female official Chun Li put down the medicine bowl and said respectfully, "Very good, the scab is now very shallow."
"That's good. I hope you won't be angry." Yin Xing said apologetically because he misunderstood that the scars on the female official's face and his own head injury were caused by Xuan Yizheng's illness.
"You misunderstood. This injury was not caused by His Majesty's punishment." The female official Chunli reacted slowly and explained.
"Then why are there palm prints and finger marks on your face?" Yin Xing asked with a look of surprise in his eyes.
This female official was valued by Xuan Yizheng when she was in the other courtyard, not to mention that she is now the head female official in the palace, and her status is not ordinary.
The court lady Chun Li hesitated and said, "It's a long story. It's just that the eldest princess was looking for trouble and throwing a tantrum that day."
The status of being a royal relative is of course extraordinary, not to mention that those princesses are all lawless. Slapping a female official is indeed not a crime.
Hearing this, Yin Xing frowned, remembering that the eldest princess liked to wear sharp armor. No wonder there was a blood mark on the side of the female official's face. He thought he had wrongly blamed Xuan Yizhen. He said, "The eldest princess is really unscrupulous. I will definitely tell His Majesty Yi and His Majesty about this."
Seeing this, the female official remained silent, thinking that she wouldn't think that the master was completely unaware of this?
But when the female official met Yin Xing's cool eyes, she suddenly felt that this was really possible. She seemed to have a very strange understanding of her master.
Moreover, the master never explained anything to her, and he didn't interact with her like an emperor, without any rules or etiquette.
However, the female official thought that Yin Xing had witnessed the horrific appearance of his master when he was ill, and he was still able to eat and sleep with him without fear. This was something that ordinary people could not do.
"You don't have to bother. His Majesty is busy with many affairs every day. What's more, the princess and others have a great influence on the court. It is best to be cautious." The female official knew the current situation in the court and naturally understood why the lord relied on the princess and the county lord to assist in the administration, so she spoke quite tactfully.
"But I won't let you be bullied in vain. Don't worry, I won't trouble His Majesty. I will seek justice for you later." Yin Xing's face was full of righteousness, as if what was tied on his forehead was not gauze, but a red scarf.
Those princesses are too overbearing. First they held Xuan Yizheng hostage, and now they are beating the female officials. This is really too much.
The female official wanted to persuade him, but seeing Yin Xing's confident look, she had to stop.
After a while, Yin Xing drank the medicine soup with a full heart of justice, and suddenly his whole face wrinkled, he looked listless and a little nauseous.
When recuperating from an illness, the thing one fears most is a bowl of bitter medicine. Yin Xing's tears rolled back in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.
At this moment, in another palace pharmacy, Jiang Yun was also drinking medicine with his nose twisted, his eyes full of indescribable pain, muttering: "This tonic tastes so weird."
Seeing Jiang Yun's reaction, Liu Ci said in a comforting voice, "There are many precious medicinal herbs in the palace. It would be a good thing for you to take more supplements. Otherwise, how can you be a good commander of a thousand households?"
"Ah, being an official is so boring. It would be more interesting to be a detective in the Dali Temple. This time I've been really screwed by Yin Xing." Jiang Yun sighed while drinking tea.
"There's no other way, otherwise the empress would never agree to treat the patient. This is probably what you call suspicion." Liu Ci raised his hand and flipped through the ancient medical books in the palace's collection, very seriously.
Seeing that Liu Ci was very good-tempered and had no complaints, Jiang Yun felt warm in his heart and raised his hand to embrace her.
Originally, Jiang Yun thought that Liu Ci would be unhappy. After all, she was now kept in the palace and was not allowed to leave the palace without permission, which was no different from being under house arrest.
Liu Ci noticed Jiang Yun's intimate gesture, tilted her head slightly, raised her hand to tidy up the hair beside her ear, and said softly: "Captain General, are you tired?"
"It's not so bad, it's just annoying to deal with flatterers, and since the king selection ceremony, many noble young men have moved into the west palace. They are not content with what they have. Men are belligerent by nature, and they live every day like they are at war." Jiang Yun now finally understood why people used to talk about harem struggles. It had nothing to do with gender, it was just that people were bored.
"Has the empress ever summoned and favored him?" Liu Ci thought of the simple-minded Yin Xing and asked another question.
Jiang Yun cleared his throat and said slowly, "Don't tell me, I actually saw the Empress's procession entering and leaving the West Garden, and some people were summoned, but not at night, mostly during the day, and the time is uncertain. You treated Yin Xing's injuries, did she react?"
In fact, Jiang Yun almost said that the empress's behavior was a bit like having an affair.
But then I thought that the empress formally enthroned the selected prince, which seemed quite legitimate.
Liu Ci didn't understand Jiang Yun's words and responded bluntly, "Yin Xing is currently recuperating in bed and is prone to drowsiness. He has only recently become more energetic and should not be aware of these things."
"Why don't you let her know a little so she can prepare early?" Jiang Yun suggested thoughtfully.
"This is a private matter between them. We outsiders cannot say too much. Besides, the empress is deliberately concealing it. If we expose the truth, it will do more harm than good to Yin Xing." Liu Ci frowned and responded.
Jiang Yun was a little surprised by Liu Ci's calmness, because he had always felt that she was very intolerant of any injustice and kept a close eye on him. He asked, "Do you mean to ask Yin Xing to turn a blind eye?"
Liu Ci leaned against Jiang Yun and sighed softly, "Everyone has different needs. The Empress is willing to hide it, which means she at least cares about Yin Xing's feelings."
"That's not necessarily true. People's hearts are filled with false desires, and there are many ruthless and unfaithful people." Jiang Yun disagreed with this, thinking that Liu Ci was too pure-minded and didn't know that those stinky men were traitors who were just looking for excitement.
"Then do you think the empress will let Yin Xing go and let her find a new home?" Liu Ci thought of the madness and murderous intent in the empress's eyes that day, and felt a little scared.
"Okay, you have a point." Jiang Yun had heard stories about concubines who died alone in the palace, and he was unable to refute it for a moment.
Apart from her gender, the empress was no different from all the previous emperors of the dynasty, so she was destined to be murderous and cold-hearted.
In comparison, Yin Xing, the wife slave, had no chance of winning and could only obey the arrangements, hoping to get some sympathy from his first wife and live a peaceful life.
Liu Ci's mood was mixed and changing. He lowered his eyes and looked at the golden order hanging on Jiang Yun's side. He knew that it was an imperial treasure bestowed by the empress, which could provide all kinds of conveniences. He said, "In fact, sometimes it's good to live in poverty. You must not be unfaithful and change your heart."
Jiang Yun came back to his senses, listening to Liu Ci's familiar words. He smiled broadly, leaned closer to her, and muttered, "Yes, as you command!"
After he finished speaking, Liu Ci, who was being kissed, was a little hesitant and surprised, but she did not reject Jiang Yun. He put his palm on her shoulder and slowly hugged her.
Soon, her breathing became rapid and clear. Liu Ci leaned against Jiang Yun, calming her breath. She called out in a hoarse voice, "Ayun, do you think I'm being unreasonable?"
"I've gotten used to your unreasonable behavior over the years." Jiang Yun responded with a smile. In her heart, she wished that Liu Ci would care more about her, otherwise she would have been attracted by He Yun, that little girl.
Liu Ci gently pinched Jiang Yun's skinny face with his fingertips. Seeing her grinning, he slightly distanced himself from her and said warmly, "I'm busy right now. Go play with the little girl."
"No, the little girl is taking a nap now. I promise not to disturb you." Jiang Yun was very well-mannered and followed Liu Ci enthusiastically. His eyes fell on the sprouting seeds she cultivated, and he was gently rubbing them one by one with tweezers.
"I'm trying different experiments with the poison of the illusion insect, from centipedes to flower and plant seeds. If they can grow strongly, perhaps they will have drug resistance, just like the legendary formless flower." Liu Ci explained aloud, very focused and serious.
Jiang Yun nodded, remembering the Empress's plan to trick Cao Feng into knowing about Ghost Condensation and the Formless Flower. He muttered, "I think it's hard to say whether the Formless Flower even exists in the world now. Cao Feng was talking nonsense that day, and it didn't look like he'd seen one in person. Besides, the Illusion Gu can be preserved in amber without food or water, so it probably doesn't need the Formless Flower to feed on anymore. It just needs to preserve enough insects or eggs."
The world has changed dramatically over the past thousand years, not to mention a hundred years, and the world has changed and dynasties have come and gone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun felt that he had to find a way out for Liu Ci. Otherwise, if the disease could not be cured in the future, and the empress went crazy and wanted someone to be buried with him, wouldn't that be the end of him!
The warm sun outside the window gradually sets in the west, and the towering palace is dyed with the glow of the setting sun, with scarlet showing through the orange, gorgeous and sad.
As time goes by, we gradually enter early summer, the green plants become more lush, and the flowers are in full bloom. The high platform of the Imperial Garden is a great place to enjoy the scenery.
Yin Xing, who had recovered from his illness and left the palace, happily had lunch with Xuan Yizhen in the imperial garden. He held up his chopsticks to feed her and curiously asked, "What is this?"
Xuan Yizhen closed his eyes, slowly tasting the food, and said in agreement, "Fish."
"He actually guessed them all right!" Yin Xing was a little surprised. He thought Xuan Yizheng had a bad sense of taste and could no longer distinguish food.
"Well, because the duration of the attack is not fixed, sometimes it only lasts for a moment or half a while." Xuan Yizheng opened his eyes and explained to Yin Xing, who looked concerned.
Yin Xing relaxed his frustrated expression, raised his hand to pick out the fishbone for Xuan Yizhen, and changed the subject: "It's a good thing that Yizhen can't taste the fishy smell."
As he finished speaking, a noisy movement was heard from the imperial garden in the distance.
From the high platform of the Imperial Garden, one can overlook the entire garden. Yin Xing was a little surprised to see two groups of people fighting.
After all, this is not a busy street, but deep in the palace. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter, let alone fight.
Xuan Yizhen also saw the scene in the distance, frowned slightly, raised his hand to signal the female official to deal with it, and said calmly: "Ignore them, let's eat."
The female official Chunli was busy, thinking that each of these noble young men was very good at causing trouble.
Yin Xing nodded and was about to withdraw his gaze from watching the fun so as not to delay his meal, but who would have thought that he would hear explosive words at this moment.
"Xiao, don't think you can be complacent just because His Majesty favors you for a few days!"
"I think you're just sour grapes because you can't eat them. No wonder His Majesty dislikes you. You deserve to be punished today!"
These two short sentences almost burned Yin Xing's brain, which had just recovered. He looked at Xuan Yizhen who had been guarding him, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to organize his words.
Xuan Yizhen met Yin Xing's clear, watery eyes, seeing through her inquiry, and could only speak: "These people are the children of aristocratic families who entered the palace during the emperor selection ceremony. They are usually belligerent and trouble-making, so they are all placed in the west palace garden. Do you have any other questions?"
The elders and nobles of the Wanqi family wanted to use them to enter the palace to gain greater benefits. Xuan Yi knew this very well and was naturally not surprised by their restlessness.
Yin Xing looked at the two groups of people being restrained by the female officials, then turned back to look at the frank Xuan Yizhen, hesitant to speak, "I seemed to hear the word 'favored' just now, could it be an illusion?"
"Of course, I stay with you most of the time every day. Is there anything I'm worried about?"
"That's true, maybe I heard it wrong."
Without giving it any more thought, Yin Xing picked up the steak with his chopsticks and started chewing on it, stealing glances at the elegant and graceful Xuan Yizhen, feeling that she was definitely not that kind of person.
But Yin Xing remembered that every time he took medicine and took a nap, Xuan Yizheng was not by his bedside when he woke up.
The time was not long, but not short either. Of course, what was even more abnormal was that Xuan Yizheng had been very abstinent recently.
Therefore, Yin Xing always thought that Xuan Yizheng was concerned about his health, and felt a little guilty.
Yin Xing ate the meal absent-mindedly, and did not say a word until he followed Xuan Yizheng for a walk in the garden. His mind was full of thoughts about going back and trying again.
However, you won’t know until you try it, and you’ll be surprised when you try it.
In the afternoon, Yin Xing took medicine and rested as usual. Not long after, Xuan Yizheng, who was beside his pillow, got up and left the bedroom carefully.
This situation was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Yin Xing a little confused.
After several days of experiments, Yin Xing discovered that Xuan Yizheng was indeed hiding something from him.
In the morning, Xuan Yizhen went to court. Yin Xing stepped out of the hall to get some fresh air. It was not that he had not thought about finding someone to ask about the situation, but he was slow to realize that the people around him were all arranged by Xuan Yizhen.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes in the Imperial Garden, I probably wouldn't have known that Xuan Yizheng was selecting people to enter the palace. This shows how deep the concealment was.
Yin Xing became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He dismissed the palace maids and walked along the palace road without paying attention to the direction.
The entire palace was larger than Yin Xing had imagined. After half an hour, his legs began to feel sore.
A team of palace guards came on patrol. Among them, there was a man in armor who was dressed very lightly. There was a purple orchid tassel hanging on his sword at his side and a flamboyant smile on his face. If it weren't for the shining golden token, Yin Xing would have almost failed to recognize Jiang Yun.
"You continue patrolling without error. I will escort this person."
"As you command."
The footsteps faded away, and Jiang Yun stepped forward lightly, looking at him and said, "Hey, you look like you've recovered well."
Yin Xing sat down on the pavilion to rest his feet and asked in confusion, "Is your job as a Thousand Guards patrol?"
"Who said it wasn't? I'm so bored." Jiang Yun leaned against the beam, opened the water bag beside him, and took a big sip. "Do you want some?"
"I'm not thirsty." Yin Xing shook his head in response. Thinking of his bad guess, he looked at the well-informed Jiang Yun and hesitated to say, "Did you hear any rumors while strolling around the palace?"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yun was almost choked. He looked at the sadness and helplessness in Yin Xing's eyes and couldn't bear it.
After all, Jiang Yun knew very well how much Yin Xing liked the empress.
But Jiang Yun thought that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so he could only persuade: "No, the palace is deserted, quiet and peaceful."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone started arguing in the shade of the trees outside the pavilion. Jiang Yun was embarrassed and leaned over to scold them, "What are you arguing about? Do you want to go to the inner court to be punished?"
Those people recognized Jiang Qianhu, the empress's confidant, and immediately saluted and fled.
"These new men in the palace are so fussy that they're sending servants to argue endlessly just for a few dishes of imperial food. It's simply endless."
"So she really has a new love?"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yun froze and turned around to meet Yin Xing's dejected expression.
For the first time, Jiang Yun felt that Yin Xingsheng's skin was too fair and innocent. Even little girls were not as pitiful as her. He said vaguely: "As the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. You should be more open-minded. After all, we are now relying on the empress. It's embarrassing and dangerous."
Yin Xing couldn't help but redden her eyes. Due to Jiang Yun's presence, she had to calm down and took a deep breath in response: "Well, she's still hiding it from me now, but at least she still has me, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun was speechless. He had known for a long time that Yin Xing was a wife slave, but she didn't need to ask for forgiveness so quickly.
In the silence, Jiang Yun recovered and said with a worried look: "Don't be sad, you have to recover from your serious illness. If you fall ill, Liu Ci will be in trouble."
"I know, thank you for telling me." After saying that, Yin Xing was about to leave.
"Wait, don't get lost, I'll take you." Jiang Yun wasn't very good at comforting people, he could only make jokes and talk about trivial things.
For a long while, Yin Xing didn't say a word, and Jiang Yun could only stop talking in disappointment.
Lasting love is the most precious thing in this world, especially after Jiang Yun experienced losing and regaining it, he realized how precious it is.
Jiang Yun had never seen anyone else like Liu Ci who loved someone so steadfastly.
Not to mention that Yin Xing's wife is the empress. As an emperor who holds the power of life and death over all people, he has too many choices and long-lasting love is even more unlikely.
Not long after, Yin Xing stepped in front of the bedroom, said goodbye to Jiang Yun, and entered the palace alone.
The flowers and plants in the hall were being carefully trimmed by the palace maids, and the ground was being busily cleaned by other maids. Everyone was very busy.
Yin Xing returned to the low couch by the window in the inner hall, raised his hand to pour some tea and took a sip, his mind still in a mess and full of disbelief.
How could years of love and vows disappear in less than a year after entering the palace? Yin Xing didn't believe it!
At noon, Xuan Yizhen returned to the palace to change into court robes. His eyes fell on Yin Xing, who lay quietly and well-behaved on the bed. He raised his hand to dismiss the palace maids, then slowly approached and called softly, "I heard you've been out of the palace for a long time today. Are you tired?"
"Well, Yizhen, come sleep with me." Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen, held her soft and slender hand in her wide sleeves, and said it clearly.
"The court has been quite busy lately, so you should go to sleep." Xuan Yizheng took Yin Xing's warm hand and put it into the quilt, not noticing anything unusual.
Yin Xing blinked and pursed her lips, as if she heard the sound of a broken heart. Her eyes fell on Xuan Yizheng, who did not show any guilt at all. She let go of her hand in anger, rolled up the quilt and turned her back, not wanting to pay attention to her.
Xuan Yizhen was a little confused by this reaction. He leaned closer, lowered his eyes to look at Yin Xing, who had her eyes closed and lips pursed. He lay down with her, patted her arm, and said with a smile, "Do you really like me accompanying you today?"
The voice was very soft, and the laughter was even softer, but it made Yin Xing's face blush deeply, as if he was a bad kid with a bad temper.
However, Yin Xing noticed that Xuan Yizhen chose to lie down in the quilt, so he accepted this bad image, slowly turned around, and leaned close to her warm and soft arms, sniffing the faint cold fragrance with his nose, which was a bit sour.
Xuan Yizheng didn't notice Yin Xing's thoughts. He raised his hand and patted her back to coax her to sleep. His palm moved slowly and rhythmically, but then froze in the next moment, and a soft kiss fell on her heart.
It was warm and scorching, not skillful, and a bit reckless in its youthfulness. It was a little unlike the Yin Xing of the past, and he was very anxious.
Xuan Yizheng's collar, which had just been changed into his casual clothes, was slightly loose, revealing his fair skin. The gorgeous golden sash slowly fell off, leaving some traces of moisture on his skin, which was shimmering and a little cold.
Xuan Yizhen originally thought Yin Xing was just fooling around, so he didn't stop her. But when he lowered his eyes and saw her biting a piece of the belt with her white teeth, it seemed as if his heartstrings broke. His breathing became slow and rapid. He raised his hand to touch her face and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
After he finished speaking, Yin Xing avoided Xuan Yizheng's palm like a rebellious bad boy, lowered his head and kissed him, using force with the tip of his teeth, which caused some pain.
Yin Xing has always been very careful with that place and never uses any force, which is really a bit unexpected.
Xuan Yizheng's breathing paused slightly, and then further prolonged, turning into unspeakable joy.
In silence, Xuan Yizheng's fingertips couldn't help but touch Yin Xing's thick black hair. He couldn't bear to use force, so he could only stroke her neck. Without saying a word, he just straightened his body to make it easier for her to take off the clothes that were in the way.
In the afternoon, the ceremonial team that had been waiting outside the palace did not see His Majesty for a long time.
The female official Chunli originally wanted to go inside to ask for instructions, but when she heard some unusual noises, she tactfully withdrew and dismissed the ceremonial team.
At dusk, the setting sun is particularly red, like a drop of blood, and even the sunset glow becomes blood-red.
The palace's inner room was quiet under the gauze curtains. A slender, cold white jade hand gently lifted the belt hanging on the ground, revealing her slender figure vaguely. Xuan Yizheng leaned on the soft pillow and hugged Yin Xing who was lying in front of him. He lowered his eyes to look at her well-behaved face, his gaze wandering to her thick eyelashes, and he couldn't help but smile.
He was pretending to be asleep, and he was pretending so poorly that it was hard for Xuan Yizhen not to notice.
"Are you still not awake?" Xuan Yizheng used his fingertips to lift away the hair that was blocking Yin Xing's cheeks one by one, very patiently.
"Yeah." Yin Xing responded awkwardly, burying his head in Xuan Yizheng's arms, wishing he could hide deeper.
Xuan Yizhen smiled at Yin Xing's red earlobes, stretched out his slender arms like a crane spreading its wings, and embraced her intimately, whispering softly: "What's wrong with you today?"
Yin Xing felt a warm breath falling on her ear, which made her feel a little itchy. She had no choice but to open her eyes and tilt her head to look up at Xuan Yizhen. Her cold jade face was still showing a faint blush, and her lips were also bright red, which made her even more attractive. She replied with a rolling sound in her throat, "Nothing, I just feel that it's been a long time since we did it, so it's easy to affect our feelings."
Yin Xing was not surprised at all that others liked Xuan Yizhen. She should be liked by many people.
But Xuan Yizhen liked someone else, and Yin Xing couldn't accept it, so she used her teeth. Not only did she bite her thin lips a little swollen, she also wanted to put a stamp on it to make it known.
"Is that so? Then when you rejected me before, it must have hurt my feelings." Xuan Yizheng chuckled.
"That was just a normal rest. This is different." Yin Xing hurriedly explained, not wanting Xuan Yizheng to be unhappy about it.
Xuan Yizhen looked at Yin Xing's anxious expression and replied calmly, "Okay, then shall we go take a shower and have dinner now?"
Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen with great concern, wrapped his arms around her slender figure, and said, "Yizhen, I will never reject you in the future, don't be angry."
If he changes his mind because his feelings are not satisfied with this kind of thing, Yin Xing will be furious!
"I was just teasing you. Why would you be angry about something like this? You weren't so dull and gullible before." Xuan Yizheng gently stroked Yin Xing's soft black hair with his palm. He felt that she was particularly proactive today, like a burning spark, which burned him a little unexpectedly.
"Really?" Yin Xing looked up at Xuan Yizhen, who was only wearing a thin dress and looked like a compassionate and loving Bodhisattva.
Xuan Yizhen looked at Yin Xing, whose eyes were filled with concern, and felt pity for her. He leaned over and reverently kissed the scab on her forehead, and replied with a trembling heart: "Of course, I am the emperor. If you don't believe me, I can give you an imperial decree. How about that?"
Hearing this, Yin Xing thought about it very seriously before shaking his head and saying, "No, I still trust Yizhen's actions more."
If a person changes his mind, even an imperial edict cannot stop him.
"Okay, then I'll take you to take a shower. You're sweating and very dirty." Xuan Yizheng raised his hand and touched Yin Xing's forehead and teased.
"Yizhen, don't despise me." After saying that, Yin Xing clung to Xuan Yizhen even tighter, their skin touching, as if they were twins.
Xuan Yizheng chuckled and did not stop Yin Xing from sticking to him. Instead, he indulged her restraint and slowly felt the oppression. He placed his palm on her side and patted it lightly with his heartbeat. Her cheeks turned even redder, and her lips parted slightly, letting out a long breath. She really liked Yin Xing's possessiveness and care, which was a bit overbearing.
After a long time, the gauze curtain gradually became empty, and the bathroom was filled with mist. Xuan Yizheng carried Yin Xing into the bathtub. Seeing that she was timid and afraid of falling, he felt that this was her nature.
However, Yin Xing was actually more worried that Xuan Yizheng would not be able to hold her. After all, he had been eating very well during his recovery, and he ate and drank to his heart's content without any hesitation.
After they were submerged in the pool, Yin Xing breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled up to Xuan Yizheng, raising his hand to massage her arm.
Xuan Yizhen enjoyed Yin Xing's care and did not refuse. Instead, he whispered, "It hurts more where you bite."
After he finished speaking, Yin Xing's gaze slowly moved down from Xuan Yizhen's jade-white face. Inadvertently, he said with a flushed face, "I think I should be fine after applying some medicine."
"Well, you apply it."
"good."
In response to this, Yin Xing did not hesitate at all, and served at his beck and call, being very obedient.
By the time the two of them came out of the bath and prepared to eat, the sky had already darkened, the waning moon hung low in the sky, and the palace lanterns were quietly burning. The female official Chunli looked at the two figures in the gauze tent and felt that she could not bear to watch.
This day is too interesting, and the master really dotes on Yin Xing too much.
If Yin Xing were a man, the master's children would have run away by now. Why choose those young men from noble families to enter the palace and cause trouble?
But at this moment, Yin Xing was only worried about Xuan Yizheng's injury, so he didn't even bother to eat, and was completely unaware that his image was in jeopardy.
At this moment, Xuan Yizheng was casually holding the soft pillow, with her collar slightly open, revealing her graceful curves, half-covered and half-exposed, which was even more intriguing.
Xuan Yizhen's eyes fell on Yin Xing's flushed cheeks and he said, "What are you still standing there for?"
Yin Xing came back to his senses, reached into Xuan Yizhen's collar, carefully applied the ointment, and asked seriously, "Does it hurt?"
"Just a little bit." Xuan Yizheng's breathing gradually lengthened, but his expression did not change much.
At this time, Yin Xing felt an obvious change in the palm of his hand. His eyes widened and his gaze fell on the gentle and dignified face of Xuan Yizheng. He had to swallow his shyness and thought to himself that this was a natural reaction and not to think too much about it!
As luck would have it, Xuan Yizheng's breathing became more obvious, adding to the strange atmosphere.
When Yin Xing had applied all the ointment on his palm and retracted his palm, he could still feel the remaining softness, like snow, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, changing unpredictably.
But Xuan Yizhen had already tied his belt and resumed his normal routine of lifting the curtains, chuckling softly, "Not bad."
Yin Xing blushed as she looked at Xuan Yizhen who was teasing her seriously, and felt that she was too stupid.
It was obvious that Xuan Yizheng was deliberately trying to seduce people just now!
Then Yin Xing raised his hands and dipped them in the basin to wash, not wanting to look at Xuan Yizheng's meaningful expression.
The rustling sound of water and the dimly reflected light of the palace lanterns made the night outside the palace especially bright.
During these few days, Yin Xing tried to find ways to pester Xuan Yizheng, and he even wanted to turn a blind eye when sleeping.
The scorching sun of early summer shines on the earth. Because Xuan Yizheng attends the morning court, Yin Xing occasionally goes to see Liu Ci, Jiang Yun and others.
Therefore, Yin Xing would also get some news, such as the court was going to hold a polo match, and all noble families had to participate, and the winner would receive a reward and an official position.
Jiang Yun raised his hand to sharpen the blade of his sword and said, "I heard that those people in the West Garden are going to participate. What about you?"
Yin Xing raised his hand to support his chin and thought: "I don't know how to play polo."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yun almost cut his hand with his sword. He looked at Yin Xing's sincere expression in disbelief and had to shut up.
Yin Xing often gave Jiang Yun the illusion that she had never lived or grown up in the dynasty.
Studying literature and martial arts, riding and shooting, and playing chess were compulsory courses for the royal nobility, regardless of gender.
Unless the Marquis of Xizhou wanted to ruin Yin Xing's future, how could he possibly train his eldest son in this way?
"In that case, then you don't go."
"But I also want to participate. Otherwise, what if they steal the spotlight?"
Jiang Yun inexplicably recalled Yin Xing's troubles during the autumn hunt in the western suburbs, and felt that they were exactly the same.
But seeing Yin Xing's deep love, Jiang Yun had to swallow his words, sheathed his sword and said, "I think you can ask the Empress about this matter first. If she agrees to let you participate, she will naturally arrange for you to form a team."
The emperor's favor is hundreds or thousands of times more effective than hard training.
Yin Xing nodded. "That's true. Have you heard that she went to Xiyuan recently?"
"Yes, and they are all summoned after the morning court session." Jiang Yun looked at Yin Xing hesitantly, feeling that the empress also had good intentions.
"How could that be? Aren't we all very busy with morning court sessions recently?" Yin Xing muttered stupidly before he could react.
Jiang Yun sighed and thought that if he wasn't busy, he wouldn't have time to have an affair somewhere else.
Not long after, Yin Xing returned to the bedroom and found that Xuan Yizhen might be lying.
So Yin Xing could only ask the palace maids, "Apart from the main hall, where else would Your Majesty go?"
The maid replied respectfully without hesitation: "The Imperial Study."
Yin Xing had never been to the Imperial Study, but he knew its exact location, so he had to go there after asking along the way!
So Yin Xing walked through the palace alone, feeling aggrieved and bitter, and still couldn't believe that Xuan Yi would lie to him.
The female official Chunli was quite surprised to see Yin Xing suddenly appear in the imperial study.
It’s amazing that this person can walk to the imperial study!
"Your Majesty is unable to meet you now. What do you want?"
"I don't have anything to do, I just want to go to the imperial study to take a look."
After saying that, Yin Xing hurriedly stepped inside. The female official wanted to stop him but he didn't react in time and sighed inwardly that he was so fast!
The imperial study was very quiet. Suddenly, a door was pushed open, and light shone inside, attracting everyone's attention.
Yin Xing was also stunned. His eyes swept over the figures of the princess and the county lady, and finally fell on the bright yellow figure on the main seat. He was a little confused.
Xuan Yizhen paused flipping through the documents and looked indifferently at Yin Xing, who had intruded without permission. Seeing that she was completely motionless, he could only say, "Come here. I have something to ask you."
"What?" Yin Xing looked at the calm Xuan Yizhen with wide eyes, and stepped forward with great trust, wondering if she knew in advance that she was coming to catch them in an affair?!
Impossible, Xuan Yizheng can't possibly gather so many people to cooperate with the performance.
When Yin Xing cautiously approached the table under many gazes, he was honest and had no trace of his previous anger.
Seeing this, Xuan Yizhen raised his thin lips, raised his hand to gesture for her to come forward, and guided her to a seat before speaking, "I'm just discussing the polo match. What day would you like to schedule it for?"
Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen, who lied without thinking, and tried his best to act calm and cooperative, "The fifteenth of this month is good."
"Okay, then you'll be in charge of watching and judging the competition, how about that?"
“Ah, actually I want to participate.”
Xuan Yizhen was a little surprised, because he knew Yin Xing couldn't play polo, but he couldn't say anything in public, so he could only agree: "Okay, I'll let you play a round in the final game, just to relieve your boredom."
Yin Xing was about to speak when the eldest princess suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty is truly a loving couple. It's truly enviable, Third Princess, don't you agree?"
At this time, the third princess, who was originally fiddling with the new jewel ring, paused and looked impatient.
Yin Xing glanced at the eldest princess who looked sarcastic, and thought of the facial injuries on the female official, and felt that this person was too disgusting.
But then Yin Xing discovered that Xuan Yizhen tightened his grip on his hand, and his fingertips pinched the soft flesh, which was a bit painful!
