Even though he had many dissatisfactions in his heart, Jiang Ziqing still tried his best to hide all the negative emotions in front of Gu Yangyang.

The palace maids cleared the food away and waited outside the palace gate holding palace lanterns.

Jiang Ziqing took the lead and strode out of the hall, turning sideways to signal Gu Yangyang to follow.

When there are outsiders around, his expression always changes very quickly.

Gu Yangyang complained a few words in his heart, but immediately reacted, acted like a servant, lowered his head and looked submissive, tried his best to reduce his presence, and followed Jiang Ziqing obediently.

The group walked silently on the long palace road. The night made the surrounding scene blend into the darkness, and nothing could be seen. Only the palace maid leading the way in front of them held a lantern in her hand to illuminate the one or two feet in front of them...

Gu Yangyang rolled her eyes slightly and looked into the dark night beside her. She saw that the dark color was extremely thick, as if a layer of black ink was tightly clinging to the bushes...

Such a thick ink color is only to cover up the monster hidden in the darkness...

Gu Yangyang couldn't help but be frightened by her own imagination.

She couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Ziqing in front of her. Feeling the warmth coming from him, the uneasiness in her heart was alleviated a little.

She no longer dared to look at the darkness and just walked with her head down, her eyes fixed on the light an inch away from Jiang Ziqing's toes.

......

After reaching the bedroom, the palace maid put down the lantern and left.

It was getting late and time to go to bed, so the hall was not very bright.

There were only a few candles lit on the lampstand, and the dim candlelight cast a hazy color on the huge hall...

There was incense burning in the hall, mixed with a faint scent of ambergris, the smell of Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zhisi...

Without outsiders, Jiang Ziqing naturally would not let Gu Yangyang serve him.

He walked slowly to the bed, untied his belt, took off his outer robe, and sat down beside the bed.

Turning around, he saw Gu Yangyang still standing there, holding the palace lantern and staring at him blankly. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you standing there for? It's getting late, come and go to bed." He tried to act calmly and patted the seat beside him.

However, he didn't know that in this situation, the more he tried to appear calm, the more the effect would be the opposite...

Gu Yangyang was afraid of the darkness and held the lantern tightly in her arms.

She curled her lips as she watched the young man sitting beside the bed trying to seduce her.

Does she look that gullible...?

"No need, Your Majesty. I can sleep here." She said, pointing to the soft couch next to her.

Without waiting for the other party to react, she swiftly kicked off her shoes, climbed onto the couch, curled up into a ball, stared at Jiang Ziqing with her round eyes, and blinked.

Jiang Ziqing: "......"

[Ding! Jiang Ziqing is dissatisfied +800]

[Ding! Jiang Ziqing's Jealousy +800]

[Ding! Jiang Ziqing's disgust +800]

[Ding! Jiang Ziqing turns darker +800]

【......】

Although he knew that it was a good thing for the girl to remain vigilant in this situation, whenever Jiang Ziqing thought of the unfairness between him and Jiang Zhisi, he couldn't help but feel anger and jealousy in his heart.

He looked at the little girl curled up on the couch. The girl had taken off her gorgeous bright red dress and was now wearing a dark palace dress. She was holding a palace lantern and looked like a small, round firefly...

Although she is not within reach, as long as she exists, as long as you can see her, you can feel the warmth radiating from her...

This warmth makes this palace, which has been cold all year round, cozy and makes people linger.

Jiang Ziqing looked at her well-behaved and alert appearance, feeling both angry and upset.

He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, his peach blossom eyes flickering in the shadows, his eyes sharp and seductive, "It's cold at night, come to bed and sleep."

There was clearly not much distance between the bed and the couch, but when Gu Yangyang heard this, she felt that the voice seemed to come from a very far place, low and hoarse, with a little bit of youthful characteristics, and was particularly bewitching...

If we were to ask who is the most bewitching person besides the little mermaid, it would definitely be the person in front of us.

Although Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zhisi are very similar, in Gu Yangyang's eyes, there are still essential differences between them.

For example, Jiang Zhisi is a trap that lures people step by step, while Jiang Ziqing is an obvious and vicious trap!

Although they look similar, their personalities are very different.

She shook her head: "I'm not cold..."

"How can you not be cold? You will be cold in a while."

Gu Yangyang still shook her head, and even curled up tighter with some stubbornness: "If it's cold, I'll get my own quilt..."

It wasn't that she hated Jiang Ziqing, it was just that Wen Xia's matter had come first, and she no longer wanted to focus on other things that were irrelevant to the mission before she had sorted out her thoughts...

After getting her affirmative answer, Jiang Ziqing's eyes darkened for a moment.

He didn't answer for a long time, his fingers hooked on the edge of the bed, tapping lightly.

Just when Gu Yangyang thought that according to his personality, he would continue to cling to her, she heard a rustling sound coming from the bed. Looking over, she saw that it was Jiang Ziqing lying down.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, Jiang Ziqing looked at her with slightly lowered eyes.

A faint smile appeared on his flawless face, and he said calmly, "Forget it. It's late, go to bed."

Gu Yangyang was a little stunned at first, thinking that being so easy to talk to was not like Jiang Ziqing's style.

But she huddled on the couch and observed for a long time, but she didn't hear Jiang Ziqing make any sound. He even closed his eyes slightly and breathed steadily, as if he had fallen asleep...

She then let out a sigh of relief.

......

When the coolness of the night comes, it catches people off guard.

After confirming that Jiang Ziqing was "asleep", Gu Yangyang closed her eyes with peace of mind. However, her good dream did not last long. She was disturbed by the biting chill that invaded her and frowned.

"Hmm..." Her eyelashes trembled, and her arms that were holding the palace lantern loosened. She curled up her body even tighter and actually wanted to hide behind the lantern.

However, the palace lanterns were too small, and the flames inside gradually dimmed. Not only could they not bring any warmth, but they also could not block out the cold...

Suddenly there was a slight "click" sound, and the window that had been opened a crack was gently closed.

People were walking around in the hall, and the candles on the lampstands were shaking slightly as they passed by...

The footsteps were almost inaudible, very light.

It seemed as if he was afraid of disturbing the person on the couch.
