Miao Nanyan shuddered, startled. Someone was here?!
Why would anyone else be soaking in the hot springs so late? Isn't this the hot spring for the imperial concubines? Why are there men here?!
She had looked around, and there was clearly no one there. Where did this person come from?
She was somewhat panicked. She wanted to stand up, put on her clothes, and run away, not caring who the person was, but her undergarments were too thin, and the moonlight revealed her skin and exquisite curves.
She could only slowly and reluctantly open her eyes, and when she saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but catch her breath.
She saw Baili Yingfeng looking at her with a serious yet slightly surprised expression not far away.
"Your Majesty?!"
"What is Your Majesty doing here?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing here?!"
Miao Nanyan was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Her hair was wet and draped behind her head, and her fair skin looked very soft and beautiful in the moonlight.
Baili Yingfeng didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly.
This woman is quite beautiful.
[But why is she at the hot springs?]
Seeing that Baili Yingfeng ignored her, Miao Nanyan stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
She was caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or not.
Lost in thought, she suddenly realized that Baili Yingfeng's face was crystal clear before her eyes. [When did he get here?!]
Why is he standing so close to me?!
Looking at that handsome face so close to hers, Miao Nanyan felt as if she could stop breathing.
On her waist was Baili Yingfeng's burning hot hand, which was constantly moving upwards.
Miao Nanyan felt her whole body burning up, and an indescribable feeling was rising in her heart.
The man's pleasant fragrance stimulated her senses, and as if bewitched, she wrapped her arms around Baili Yingfeng's neck.
She felt weak all over and leaned against the man's strong waist.
Their breaths mingled together.
His rapid breathing made all her senses extremely sensitive. His fiery and domineering kisses landed on her lips, neck, and shoulders, and she greedily savored them.
"Ah..." She closed her eyes and let Baili Yingfeng lead her.
Suddenly, she was lifted up by the waist and carried off the ground, landing on the grass by the lake behind the mountain.
"Your Majesty..." She opened her eyes because of the cold, and met Baili Yingfeng's dark and deep eyes.
"cold……"
After leaving the warm hot spring, Miao Nanyan felt the biting cold wind and clung tightly to the man's warm and fiery body.
Figures moved about, a scene of spring.
One side of the sky revealed a pink sunset, while the other side turned from blue to gray. Gradually, the pink and gray merged into one, and finally, the sky turned completely dark. The moon peeked out, and the stars twinkled faintly in the sky.
...
When Miao Nanyan woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day. She was in her Yiqin Palace. She wanted to sit up and drink some water, but as soon as she moved, her whole body ached.
She frowned in discomfort.
"Your Majesty is awake!" Upon hearing the noise, Yun Jin quickly walked to Miao Nanyan's side and poured her a glass of water.
"How did I get back yesterday?"
“Your Majesty, of course it was sent back by the King!” Yun Jin looked at Miao Nanyan, then glanced at Xiang Ling, and the two of them couldn’t help but laugh, their faces flushed.
"Uh, yesterday, by chance, I ran into His Majesty at the hot springs, and then, His Majesty sent me back." Miao Nanyan was somewhat incoherent, as if she wanted to explain something, but then felt that there was no need to.
"Your Majesty, did you know that there are two hot springs in the back mountain?" Yun Jin looked at Miao Nanyan with a smile.
"One is the hot spring for the concubines in the harem, and the other is the hot spring exclusively for the king."
[Is this a hot spring reserved for the king?]
"The place Your Highness went to should be the King's hot spring." Yun Jin's face turned even redder as she said this.
“But the hot spring in the back mountain is where the King soaks, and no one else is allowed to enter. I didn’t expect that our Queen would go there and not only not be punished, but the King would personally carry her back!” Xiangling continued.
"Of course!" Yun Jin and Xiang Ling burst into laughter.
Two hot springs?!
Miao Nanyan was shocked. No wonder Baili Yingfeng had a strange expression when he found her yesterday.
It seems I was too careless this time, which led me to accidentally wander into Baili Yingfeng's hot spring and cause that incident...
"What was the expression on His Majesty's face when he brought me back yesterday?" Miao Nanyan asked hesitantly, feeling a little uneasy.
She didn't know what Baili Yingfeng was thinking, nor did she know how this incident would affect their relationship.
"Your Majesty, what other expression could the King possibly have?" Yun Jin didn't understand why Miao Nanyan was asking this.
"Your Majesty, you know perfectly well that no matter what happens, His Majesty always remains as cold and aloof as ice!"
“That’s right!” Yun Jin agreed.
He must be seeing himself as a substitute for Ah Chen's older sister.
Last night, the moonlight was cold, the sky was dark, and the fog was heavy. I suppose the King acted this way because my elder sister and I look alike.
Miao Nanyan felt a little bitter. She looked out the window, feeling very uncomfortable.
Just as I was thinking, my thoughts were interrupted by a child's innocent voice.
"Mommy's back!"
Miao Nanyan peeked out and saw Baili Mingwen running in, carrying a food box in his hand.
"Mother, I heard that you went to take a bath yesterday?"
"Father went to take a bath too. Did Mother see Father?" Baili Mingwen looked up at her.
Miao Nanyan quickly covered Baili Mingwen's mouth, the scene from last night kept replaying in her mind.
The man had handsome features, a faint fragrance lingering around his nose, a strong waist, large, rough hands, and the soft murmurs and panting in his ear...
Yun Jin and Xiang Ling hid to the side and chuckled.
"Have you finished your homework for today, Inscription?" Miao Nanyan quickly changed the subject, patting Baili Inscription's head as she asked.
"Mingwen wanted to come and see his mother as soon as possible, so he practiced swordsmanship and studied diligently!"
"Really? The inscription is amazing!"
...
Nanyang, inside the residence of the Grand Academician.
At night, after everyone in the Guan residence had fallen asleep, Yun Duoduo quietly went to Guan Ge Lao's dilapidated little house.
Just like last time, Grand Secretary Guan lay weakly on the bed, his face pale and his lips chapped. There was no charcoal fire in the room, and the old man was only covered with a cotton quilt, shivering from the cold.
"Water..." Grand Secretary Guan managed to squeeze out a single, indistinct word from his throat.
