Chapter 139: Back to the Bridal Chamber

"How could the emperor suddenly fall ill and ask you, father, and brother to go to the palace to take care of him? I always feel that something is going to happen, and I'm very panicked." Lin Nuan said as she helped Xiao Jingyan tidy up his clothes.

Xiao Jingyan hugged Lin Nuan in his arms, "Perhaps success or failure will depend on these few days. Although we have tried to keep our actions as covert as possible over the past year, it is inevitable that some clues will be left behind. The emperor should know something about what we are doing. He has been very active in the court recently. Recently, I sometimes think that I should have supported you to try your method first. Maybe we would have returned now." Xiao Jingyan said.

Lin Nuan pulled out of his embrace and nodded seriously, "That's possible. After all, the definition of happiness doesn't have to be rich and famous. You can be happy in an ordinary life. So if I could do it again, you must support me next time and improve my ideas. I have many more ideas!"

Xiao Jingyan touched Lin Nuan's head twice, nodded and agreed. He knew that she was comforting him and soothing his heart.

Lin Nuan watched Xiao Jingyan leave. She had felt a little nervous before, but now that she was facing it seriously, her panicked heart calmed down.

There are only two possible outcomes to the story. One is that the emperor is really sick, so he asked the important officials in the court to take care of him. If something unexpected happens, there will be no time to explain it.

The second is that the emperor was pretending to be sick and entering the palace to serve him was a trap set up by the emperor. As for who was involved in the trap, there was nothing wrong with it.

That night there were thunder and lightning and heavy rain. Lin Nuan slept very restlessly. When she woke up again, all she saw was a bright red.

Skillfully taking off the veil on the head, the familiar scene, the familiar room, the game began again.

She is back, so Xiao Jingyan should be back too. She is sleeping soundly in the general's mansion, which means Xiao Jingyan died in the last game.

The emperor's serious illness was indeed a trap. What happened after Xiao Jingyan entered the palace?

She was stunned for a while.

The door opened with a creaky sound, and Chunmei came in with snacks in her hand, calling out to Lin Nuan, "Miss, I got some snacks from the kitchen, please eat them quickly. Today is your wedding night with the general, so you can't eat too much."

Lin Nuan felt friendly when she saw Chunmei. "Don't worry, I know what to do. You go and guard outside the door. If the general comes back, make some noise to let me know."

Chunmei responded and turned to leave, closing the door behind her.

Lin Nuan walked to the bronze mirror and looked at herself in her bright red wedding dress, wondering what her wedding night would be like.

My mood this time is completely different from the last time. This time I have more emotions as a bride, nervousness and anxiety, but also some expectations.

Before she could think too much, she heard the voices of Chunmei and Xiao Jingyan greeting each other outside the door. She quickly ran back to the bed, sat down and covered her head with the veil. She followed the same process as last time, and waited until everyone had left, leaving only the two of them.

Lin Nuan couldn't wait to ask, "What happened after you entered the palace that day? I remember I fell asleep and came back after I woke up."

"The emperor is not sick at all. He killed your father and then framed me for assassination in the palace. Your father and your brother both died by my sword while trying to save him. Then I died under the siege of the palace guards. After I died, I came back." Xiao Jingyan said.

After all, one year of demonization time is too short, and they are too eager to complete the mission and return.

Lin Nuan stroked Xiao Jingyan's cheek, and felt distressed when she thought of his death under the siege, "It was painful at that time, right?"

"Nuannuan, I love you." Xiao Jingyan said.

This was the sentence he wanted to say most before he died, and it was also the sentence he had never said before.

To be honest, Xiao Jingyan is still a little scared. After all, the pain he felt during the fight was real, and the final moment of facing death was also so real.

He was in a trance at the time, and all that came to his mind were scenes of him and Lin Nuan, flashing by quickly like a movie.

Only then did he realize that some things must be said, otherwise they might become a lifelong regret.

The sudden confession left Lin Nuan stunned for a moment.

In her eyes, Xiao Jingyan is a man of action, not the kind of person who would say sweet words all day long.

But she still felt very happy when she heard this.

Lin Nuan smiled sweetly, "I love you, too."

Red candles flickered in the bridal chamber, the two looked at each other, their eyes filled with love for each other, clothes were scattered all over the floor, the room was full of spring light, it was a charming night, and it was worth the good time.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the window into the room, and Lin Nuan and Xiao Jingyan sleep in each other's arms. Xiao Jingyan wakes up first, and looks at Lin Nuan sleeping beside him, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction, a smile appears on the corner of his mouth, he hugs the person in his arms tightly, closes his eyes again and goes back to sleep.

The two of them slept until noon again, and even woke up later than last time.

The maids and servants waiting outside the door were all happy to see this happen, and had no intention of disturbing them, allowing them to sleep until they woke up naturally.

When Lin Nuan woke up, she felt her whole body was sore and painful as if it had been run over by a car. Thinking of the madness of the previous night, her face turned red like a cooked shrimp.

Lin Nuan tried to get up quietly, not wanting to wake up Xiao Jingyan who was still sleeping, and slowly withdrew from his arms. Before she could sit up, Xiao Jingyan pulled her back into his arms, turned over and pressed her under him.

Lin Nuan hurriedly used both hands to press against Xiao Jingyan's chest, trying to stop him with an evasive look.

"I can't do it anymore, you can't..."

Xiao Jingyan looked at the shy person under him, with a smile on his face, and deliberately asked, "No more."

Lin Nuan looked at him angrily and glared at him, "Don't ask questions that you already know the answer to. If you dare to ask again... I won't let you get into my bed tonight. No... You are not allowed to get into my bed for three days."

Xiao Jingyan thought Lin Nuan was so cute that he couldn't help but kiss her on the lips. His voice was low and gentle, "Does it still hurt? I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not being able to control myself last night."

“Then you have to promise not to touch me tonight.” Lin Nuan took the opportunity to make a request.

"Don't get up yet. I'll go get some medicine and apply some more on you. You'll be well soon." After saying that, Xiao Jingyan lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Lin Nuan quickly turned her head to look at the other side. Although the two of them had already done the most intimate thing, she still felt a little embarrassed and didn't care about the topic being diverted.
