Being held tightly by him, Nan Yingzhi felt a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"Qingchuan'er," she said with difficulty, unable to think of any love words, "I can't be discovered, you know."

Even though she was reluctant in her heart, Yun Ji still knew that this was an emergency moment, and just as Nan Yingzhi said, she really had to leave.

Not wanting her to be implicated by him and caught by Yun Ting, he slowly loosened his grip and turned his head away: "Xiao Zhizi, I know you have to leave eventually.

"I just can't bear to leave you."

Unable to bear seeing him look so lonely, Nan Yingzhi inferred Yun Ting's current location in real time based on the volume she heard, while thinking of love words.

"Qingchuan'er," she stroked Yunji's back, "It's okay, just think of it as me going on a long trip, it won't be long, I'll be back on the 15th."

"I will wait for you in the palace for six days," Yun Ji quickly calculated the exact time in his head, and his voice choked a little, "You still call it 'not long'."

Hearing the footsteps outside getting closer, Nan Yingzhi explained in a few words: "Today's concession is to lay the foundation for our better life in the future.

"I have to leave now. Remember, take care of yourself."

She was originally planning to just climb out the window and leave, but then she thought of something and turned back: "You can think about it these few days, should we keep this child?"

Without waiting for Yun Ji to reply, she glared at him, and like a flower thief, she climbed out of the window and hid in the deep palace.

Before Yun Ji had time to feel sad, his thoughts were interrupted by Yun Ting's voice, "Is Concubine Lian feeling unwell again?"

He turned around and found that it was Yun Ting who, despite Lan Fu's words "the young lady is not in a position to meet people", walked into the side hall with a heroic and confident stride.

It just so happened that Yun Ji had nowhere to put the sadness in his heart. When he met Yun Ting, he couldn't help but speak with aggrieved feeling.

He followed Xiao Zhizi's instructions, lowered his head, and complained like a spoiled child: "I was originally sleeping on the couch, but when I heard some noise outside, I got up.

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come in person. I failed to welcome you from afar. I apologize to Your Majesty here."

Hearing his tone soften, Yun Ting was silent for a moment, and rarely reflected on himself: "It is my fault for disturbing your sweet dream.

"I came here uninvited, so I should be the one apologizing to you. Why are you apologizing to me today?"

He thought Yun Ting would be shameless and accept his apology, but when he saw that he suddenly felt guilty for some reason, Yun Ji was speechless for a moment and simply lowered his head in silence.

Seeing his stubborn look, Yun Ting thought of A-Lian who had not appeared in his dreams for a long time. He sighed and asked about the whereabouts of the guard in Songcheng: "A-Lian, have you seen a guard?"

"What guards?"

Ignoring the people behind Yun Ting, Yun Ji's acting skills were superb. He tilted his head and interpreted the meaning of "knowing nothing" to the extreme.

"I was resting in the palace just now. When I got up, I only met Your Majesty and no one else."

Afterwards he realized that he really shouldn't have asked about the whereabouts of foreign officials and guards in his own concubine's palace. Yun Ting nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He accidentally glanced at the neatly arranged layout in the hall, and suddenly the appearance of this place a few years ago emerged in his mind.

At that time, there was a smiling, silly girl here. When she spoke, she always smiled, revealing two sweet dimples on her cheeks.

"I was born in summer, when the lake was full of lotus flowers. That's why my parents called me 'Alian'. A Ting, you can call me that too."

Seeing that Yun Ting seemed to be lost in some memories, standing there without saying anything and not wanting to leave, Yun Ji was puzzled and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty?"

"Hmm?" Yun Ting was called back to his senses by his shout. He looked around and felt as if he were in another world. "Do you know who lived in this side hall of Yaohua Palace before?"

It was unknown whether the "before" he mentioned referred to the period of the previous emperor or the early days when Yun Ting opened up the harem. Yun Ji did not want to be exposed and simply shook her head: "I don't know."

"Yes……"

Yun Ting almost said A-Lian's name. The word "A-Lian" circled on the tip of his tongue and stopped, "It's been a long time, A-Lian, it seems that this place is still the same as yesterday."

Not curious about his past, Yun Ji was unmoved by his expression of revisiting his old place: "Your Majesty, I am tired and want to rest. May I ask if there is anything else you can do for me?"

The tenderness and sweetness in his heart were suddenly broken, but Yun Ting was not annoyed. He just opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but finally closed it again.

Intending to drive away outsiders, he looked at the Song brothers and sisters and said, "Song Aiqing, A Yue, I have something to say to A Lian alone. You two can go out first."

Seeing that everyone else had left and only himself and Yun Ting were left in the room, Yun Ji suddenly felt what Xiao Zhizi had said, "an ominous premonition."

With other people present, he could use them as a cover and occasionally deal with Yun Ting perfunctorily.

But if it's just him and me...

"Alian, long time no see, do you miss me?" Like a child who was wronged and complained to an adult, Yun Ting hugged him and said, "I miss you so much."

Not knowing why he was so clingy was because he regarded her as the shadow of the late queen, Yun Ji was annoyed by his sudden intimacy and wanted to push him away.

However, Yun Ting was very strong and it was not easy for him to refuse openly. He pushed her for a while, but the distance between them did not decrease.

As if he was used to A-Lian's silence, Yun Ting did not force her when she didn't respond. He just continued talking.

"Alian, you are not in good health and you get sick every few days. You don't want to see the bloody scenes in the hunting grounds. I have never taken you to the hunting grounds.

"Finally, the imperial physician said that your condition has improved. I can take you to the Imperial Garden to stroll around and relax.

"Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew over and you fell ill again and never got up again."

"Alian," Yun Ting said this, tears welled up in his eyes, "I was the one who harmed you."

Even though Yun Ting kept calling "A Lian" and "A Lian" as if he was talking to himself, Yun Ji was not stupid. How could he not hear that Yun Ting was looking through him at his old friend?

Originally, Yun Ji didn't really care whether Yun Ting was sincere to her or not. But when she heard that he had someone else in his heart and that she and that person had similarities, Yun Ji's eyes rolled and she realized that this was a good opportunity to take action.

As if it was Xiao Zhizi in front of him, he raised the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, the bottom of your eyes are dark, have you not slept well recently?"

"Alas," Yun Ting sighed, "There has been no news from the northern border, and the people we sent out have been like a drop in the ocean. I am really worried that something big will happen."

Yun Ji said seductively: "I am good at making perfume. Your Majesty wants to have a good sleep tonight. Would you like to try it?"
