Perhaps because she was too tired, Cheng Mingran had no strength left and fell asleep peacefully. Her face was slightly tired, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was having a beautiful encounter in her dream.

Ji Lingzhou lay beside Cheng Mingran, his eyes as gentle as water, gazing at her with doting. His eyes revealed a deep affection, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own world.

He gently stretched out his hand and slid his fingertips lightly across the woman's cheek. His tenderness and care seemed to be able to touch the softness in her heart.

Ji Lingzhou's fingers shuttled through her hair, combing it gently, as if playing a gentle melody. His movements were so gentle that he was afraid of disturbing Cheng Mingran's sweet dream.

He leaned down slightly, brought the person closer to his arms, then put his face close to the little woman's face, and seemed to be able to feel the warmth of her skin with his breath.

The whole room was immersed in a warm and romantic atmosphere, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the window, adding a hazy and beautiful feeling to the scene. Ji Lingzhou had been quietly guarding her, as if time had frozen at this moment, leaving only the tenderness and pampering between them.

It would be great if it could always go on like this...

Ji Lingzhou seemed not to feel sleepy at all. Cheng Mingran was sleeping soundly, but he kept looking at the little woman in his arms, as if he could never look enough.

He suddenly wondered why he was so stupid before. He missed so much. If he could have discovered it earlier, they wouldn't have to go through so many twists and turns, and she wouldn't have been hurt so much.

This kind of situation will definitely happen many times offline, and she will rely on herself and will not be as restrained and unfamiliar as she is now.

A sleepless night...

When Cheng Mingran woke up the next day, no one was in the room. She struggled to sit up, but she felt sore as soon as she moved.

Recalling what happened last night, Cheng Mingran blushed slightly. The feeling yesterday was a little different from before. Ji Lingzhou's touch was also a little different from before, and he seemed to be much gentler last night.

"Shuhua," she called softly to the outside, but as soon as she called out, she was frightened by her own voice. Why was it so hoarse?

Shuhua walked in from outside and smiled when she saw Cheng Mingran woke up: "Your Majesty, are you awake? His Majesty specifically ordered that no one should disturb your rest."

"It's almost noon, right?" Cheng Mingran looked at the sky outside.

"Well, it's almost noon." Shuhua replied.

"Did the Queen send anyone to ask about this today?" After all, she didn't go to pay her respects, so Cheng Mingran still wanted to ask about her concern.

"Your Majesty was seriously injured a few days ago, so His Majesty and the Queen have exempted Her Majesty from paying respects. Yesterday was the Lantern Festival, and the Queen happened to be unwell these days, so everyone else didn't have to go." Shuhua replied.

It's another physical illness. It seems the Queen has been ill for quite some time.

"Help me up." Cheng Mingran said.

Shuhua quickly helped Cheng Mingran up from the bed. Cheng Mingran felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Ji Lingzhou had restrained himself last night and was not hurt.

But... the paintings and calligraphy were very close, so she could see them clearly. She could also see the marks on her own queen's body very clearly. Her Majesty called for water more than once last night...

Shuhua helped Cheng Mingran sit down in front of the dressing mirror: "Your Majesty hasn't left the court yet?" she asked.

"His Majesty has already left the court and should be in the Qinzheng Palace inn now. Your Majesty...are you missing His Majesty?" Shuhua's face still had a hint of joking.

After hearing this, Cheng Mingran's ears inexplicably turned red: "Where did I say I thought about it?"

"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty is saying one thing and thinking another." Shuhua looked at Cheng Mingran, with some teasing in her eyes.

Cheng Mingran was too lazy to explain to her, and generally speaking, she was too lazy to argue with her. But...is this a very strange phenomenon? That is, after a relationship like that, there will be some changes in the heart.

"Your Majesty, let me help you wash and dress," Shuhua said.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "Yeah"

"The Empress Dowager also sent someone to ask today. Do you want to go and greet the Empress Dowager?" Shuhua asked.

The Empress Dowager? Cheng Mingran was a little confused. Did the Empress Dowager know what happened last night? If that was really the case... Cheng Mingran suddenly felt guilty.

Shuhua must have seen the embarrassment of his own queen, so he took the initiative to say: "The Queen Mother loves you the most. Now that she sees the affection between His Majesty and the queen, she will definitely be very happy."

"I'll go see the Empress Dowager later." Cheng Mingran said.

"Yes," Shuhua agreed. Since Cheng Mingran had already said it, she naturally had no reason to comment any further.

Cheng Mingran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. In fact, if she were asked by the Empress Dowager now, she really wouldn't know how to explain it.

And...even last night, she herself didn't know why she did such a thing. Logically, she should have refused. But in the end, she actually obeyed?

Cheng Mingran was still thinking about what happened last night, so she was absent-minded. Ji Lingzhou rushed over after hearing that she had woken up, but Cheng Mingran was still immersed in her own world and didn't notice it at all.

Shuhua was tying Cheng Mingran's hair and was about to salute when she saw Ji Lingzhou, but Ji Lingzhou raised his hand to stop her.

Shuhua nodded, then stepped aside with great foresight. Ji Lingzhou stood behind Cheng Mingran naturally. The bronze mirror reflected the figures of the two people, but Cheng Mingran was still completely unaware of all this.

Ji Lingzhou gently helped Cheng Mingran comb her hair. In fact, he had never done such delicate work before, but as long as he was patient, what could not be done?

He looked at Cheng Mingran in the mirror: "What are you thinking about? You look so engrossed. Is it hot in the room? Why are your face and ears red?" Ji Lingzhou suddenly spoke.

Cheng Mingran was startled. She was about to turn her head, but she bumped into Ji Lingzhou without paying attention.

"Why are you still so reckless?" Ji Lingzhou was helpless. Looking at Cheng Mingran in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes softened: "Your hair is messed up again. You need to comb it again."

"When did His Majesty come? Why didn't anyone inform him?" Cheng Mingran asked. She really didn't hear anything.
