After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Cui Ling got up mechanically, asked someone to tidy up the room, locked the door, and then went to the closet to get the bedding. When he was about to make the bed, Liang Tan suddenly moved the footstool aside and said, "Come and sleep here tonight."

Cui Ling paused and looked up.

Liang Tan smiled and waved the belt in her hand. Cui Ling didn't understand what she meant and was about to ask her what she was going to do, but she stepped forward and tied his wrists with one end of the belt.

Cui Ling: “…”

A quarter of an hour later, Liang Tan's hand near the bed was hanging down casually, and the belt tied on it was hanging down along the bed, with the bottom end tied to Cui Ling's hand. The belt was less than two meters long, and when Liang Tan moved casually on the bed, Cui Ling under the bed could feel the wrist being pulled, and Liang Tan was not very honest after falling asleep, and I don't know how many times he moved in a short while.

Normal people would have their sleep disturbed if they were pulled at any time, but Cui Ling was different from them. Feeling the pulling sensation on his wrist, he slept even more soundly.

He had not slept at night these days and occasionally took a short nap during the day, but he had never really slept soundly. His body and mind had been stretched to the limit. This time, he finally fell asleep soundly and slept soundly without even a dream. When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Liang Tan lying on the bed, looking at him with a smile.

"Did you sleep well?" she asked with a smile.

Just as Cui Ling was about to speak, he felt something was wrong under the quilt. He bent his knees unnaturally and arched the quilt up: "Why didn't you call me?"

"You were sleeping so soundly, how could I have the nerve to wake you up? Don't worry, the emperor hasn't summoned you." Liang Tan spoke to him lazily.

Cui Ling sat up and looked at the belts in the hands of the two people: "Have you been waiting for me?"

"No, I quietly untied my belt while you were sleeping and went to the bathroom," Liang Tan replied with a smile, "You see, even if I untied my belt, I didn't disappear, right?"

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the similar knots on the two people's wrists, with tenderness in his eyes.

"Hurry up and get up. I didn't even have breakfast because I wanted to wait for you to eat together." Liang Tan said as he untied his belt and got out of bed. He put on his clothes and walked towards the table. But when he was almost there, he realized that he hadn't caught up with him. He couldn't help but turn around and look at him, "Cui Ling?"

"...You eat first. I'm not fully awake yet, so take it easy." Cui Ling didn't dare to look at her.

Liang Tan sighed and said, "Okay, calm down a little." Then he sat down to eat.

Cui Ling lay under the quilt for a long time until the pain under his body subsided. He then let out a long sigh and stood up.

The two of them slept together for a few days. Liang Tan saw that Cui Ling slept soundly, so she thought of sleeping like this from now on. However, not long after, one quiet night, she couldn't help but wake Cui Ling up.

"...Quick, quick, untie it, I need to go to the toilet." Liang Tan handed the knot in her hand to him, her face flushed and she asked him for help. She had already untied it for a long time, and if she really couldn't hold it any longer, she wouldn't have woken him up.

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, and hurried to help her untie the belt. Unfortunately, the belt that usually untied easily was particularly difficult to untie today. After a moment of silence, he found a dagger and cut the belt at her wrist.

Liang Tan regained his freedom and ran out. Cui Ling was silent for a long time, pinched his nose and suddenly smiled.

When Liang Tan came back, she saw that he had closed his eyes again and seemed to have fallen asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt embarrassed, so she climbed back to bed quietly and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

Cui Ling, who was already fast asleep under the bed, silently raised the corners of his lips in the darkness.

Before going to bed the next night, Liang Tan found a new belt.

When Cui Ling saw her holding the belt, a smile flashed in his eyes: "No need."

"Huh?" Liang Tan looked up blankly.

"It's uncomfortable to sleep while tied up." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan blinked his eyes: "If you don't tie it up... can you sleep?"

"I can sleep well," Cui Ling said. Seeing that she was still hesitating, he added, "In fact, I also untied it after you fell asleep last night, and I was able to sleep well."

"Really?" Liang Tan saw him nod, and immediately cheered and fell on the bed, rolling twice before lying flat, "It's still this comfortable."

Cui Ling laughed, stood up and extinguished the candle.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually turns colder.

The emperor fell ill twice more, and became increasingly weak, even reading memorials became a problem. Since his health deteriorated, he became obsessed with praying to gods and Buddhas. This time he fell ill twice in a row, and he did not attend the morning court or review memorials. He left everything to Cui Ling and went to the Fayuan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for blessings.

After hearing the news, Liang Tan quickly informed Cui Ling: "After he comes back this time, he will hold a ceremony in the palace on the second day of the winter month. At that time, all civil and military officials and their families will come, and those assassins sneaked in among them, so you have to stop this ceremony."

Because this is a rebirth story, and there is not much content before the rebirth, and there are only a few descriptions of the assassin. Liang Tan only knows that it is because Cui Ling has too many enemies, but he doesn't know who sent the assassins, so there is naturally not much useful information that can be provided to him.

Cui Ling didn't like her talking about these things, so she just nodded slightly and said, "I know."

"We must stop it!" Liang Tan frowned when he saw that he didn't seem to care.

Cui Ling saw this and knew that if he kept avoiding her, it would only make her more worried and she would reveal more information. So after a moment of silence, he said carefully: "The emperor has been particularly obsessed with Buddhism and Taoism in recent years. I am afraid that I can't stop this ceremony with just a few words."

"What should we do then?" Liang Tan suddenly became more worried.

Cui Ling consoled him: "That day I will send more people to guard the palace gates. All officials are not allowed to bring any followers except their families. I will also have people search them one by one to ensure that they do not bring any weapons in."

Liang Tan was still worried: "We must find out who wants to kill you as soon as possible."

That's too much. Cui Ling smiled and said, "Well, I will."

Liang Tan then pursed her lips and looked at him worriedly.

Cui Ling changed the subject: "Don't think about it anymore. I'll take you for a walk in the garden."

Liang Tan perked up and was about to nod when she suddenly felt a warm sensation under her body. She was stunned at first, then her cheeks suddenly turned red when she realized something.

Because she had menopause early when she became Chen Fei, she stopped having her period after the age of 45. In addition, it had been two months since her next period and she had not had her period, so she had completely forgotten about it. However, she did not expect it to come without any warning today.

"What's wrong?" Cui Ling noticed that her expression was not right, and his voice instantly became low.

Liang Tan looked at him with an indescribable look, not knowing how to explain.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Cui Ling pursed his thin lips, revealing a hint of sternness.

"...I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Liang Tan hesitated for a moment and whispered something in his ear.

Although Cui Ling had only served one concubine and had never been involved in these matters, she had been in the harem for so many years and was clear about women's affairs. She understood the moment she heard it.

"It was my mistake. I actually forgot about this." There was pure regret in his eyes.

Seeing that he was not embarrassed or awkward, Liang Tan was relieved: "Ask someone to send some menstrual pads. My lower abdomen is starting to hurt now. I'm afraid I need to change clothes and rest. I can't accompany you to walk in the garden."

"Why mention the garden at this time?" Cui Ling helped her sit down, then went to the Imperial Household Department in person and asked for a menstrual belt in front of everyone in the department.

All the palace servants who could work here were smart people. When they saw him coming in person to ask for these women's things, they were surprised and quickly took out the best ones.

Cui Ling didn't know which one to choose, so she just took both. As she was leaving with them, she thought of something and turned back halfway: "Is there anything particular about serving a woman who's having her period?"

Everyone: "..."Are you sure you want to use the word 'serve'?

Cui Ling glanced at everyone expressionlessly and immediately gained countless experiences.

Liang Tan waited in the room for a long time but no one came. The pain in her lower abdomen became more and more obvious. Her dress must be see-through, and she felt very uncomfortable.

When she got bored of waiting, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water. Just as she was about to drink it, Cui Ling came in.

"...You're finally back." She sighed helplessly.

When Cui Ling saw the cup in her hand, he immediately walked over and snatched the cup away: "The water is cold. I'll ask someone to change it for you."

After saying that, he asked someone to change the pot of brown sugar water.

Liang Tan took a sip of the sugar water he poured himself, and after drinking half a cup, she felt the pain relieved a lot. Seeing that her brows were finally unwrinkled, Cui Ling handed the bag in his hand to her and said, "Go and change it."

Liang Tan was holding the big bundle, a little confused: "What is this?"

"They are all menstrual belts. I don't know which one you want to use, so I took some of them. You can pick the one you like." Cui Ling said as he pushed her and her bag to the bed, took out some new underwear from the closet for her, and then turned his back to her.

Liang Tan looked at his tall back, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and began to change his clothes.

Cui Ling had his back to her and could clearly hear the rustling sound behind him. He had a smile on his lips and didn't turn around until she said "OK" and reached out to pick up the dirty clothes.

Liang Tan quickly stopped him: "You don't have to wash it!"

"I don't want to wash it. Let the laundry take it away." Seeing that she refused, Cui Ling took a step back.

Liang Tan didn't continue to stop him, but felt a little embarrassed when he saw him holding his dirty clothes.

Cui Ling didn't say much. After sending the clothes out, he came back with a hot water bottle. Seeing that she was already lying down, he half-knelt beside the bed and stuffed the hand warmer into the quilt.

When she felt the warmth coming from her abdomen, Liang Tan turned sideways and looked at him with a smile: "Whoever can marry my Cui Ling in the future will be blessed."

Cui Ling said calmly: "You are confused, I am a eunuch."

"I'm not a real eunuch. I'll have a chance to clear my name and get married in the future." Liang Tan's voice was a little weak due to the onset of menstruation, but it sounded a little more gentle at first.

Cui Ling stared at her for a long time, until she gradually became uneasy because of his eyes, then he smiled at her: "I already have a partner now."

Liang Tan was stunned for a moment, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry until he was about to leave: "How can they be the same?"

Cui Ling turned around and looked at her, with a restrained and hidden tenderness in his eyes.

When Liang Tan met his gaze, his heart suddenly warmed up. Before he could see the emotions in his eyes, he turned and left.

The feeling of menstruation was really unpleasant. The pain in her lower abdomen could only be relieved by lying in bed. However, if she lay in bed for too long, the sheets would be soiled. At this time, she realized how awkward it was to live with Cui Ling.

Especially when you are extremely careful but still get your sheets dirty.

"Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Don't worry about me." Cui Ling also noticed her awkwardness, so he spoke first.

Liang Tan sighed when he heard this: "How can I not be worried when a man as old as you stand in front of me?"

Cui Ling's lips curved slightly: "Am I a grown man in your eyes?"

Liang Tan wanted to say of course, but when she met his gaze, her heart suddenly moved. Before she could study this sudden feeling, her lower abdomen ached again. She suddenly curled up her body and groaned softly.

Cui Ling frowned, but couldn't help her: "Just take a rest, if the sheets are dirty, just wash them."

After saying that, he stuffed the hot water bottle into the quilt, picked up the dirty sheets that had just been changed and left.

Liang Tan looked weakly in the direction he left, then closed his eyes because of the pain in his lower abdomen.

Her menstrual period was heavy this time and she had to lie in bed for many days. By the time she was completely clean, the emperor had returned from the temple.

As she said, as soon as the emperor came back, he decided to hold a ceremony on the second day of the winter month. Over the years, his energy was not enough to support him to do too many things, so the ceremony was naturally handed over to Cui Ling.

Cui Ling was busy again, leaving before dawn every day and not coming back until late at night. Liang Tan initially forced herself to wait for him to come back, but later found that doing so would only distract him, so she decided to eat and sleep on time. It was the first time Cui Ling came home at night without a light to show the way, and he felt a little melancholy in his heart, but when he entered the house and saw her sleeping profile, he felt that everything was worth it.

Although he didn't want Liang Tan to reveal too many secrets, he listened carefully to everything she said. The guards in the palace were particularly strict during this period, so much so that even the emperor heard about it.

"It's just a ritual assembly, why make such a fuss?" The emperor called him to his side, his words full of dissatisfaction.

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty has not been in good health recently. I am afraid that someone might have bad intentions, so I am on high alert."

The emperor's expression changed.

Cui Ling looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, there have been more and more memorials asking you to appoint a crown prince recently."

"How dare you!" The emperor suddenly swept the things on the table to the ground, and then picked up the things around him and started smashing them, shouting angrily, "I think they just want me to die sooner, that's why they are so aggressive!"

His face turned purple and he was staggering. Cui Ling took a step back calmly, but was still injured on the neck by the flying porcelain pieces, leaving a thin wound.

After the emperor had vented his anger, he looked at him and said, "You are right. We should be on guard against others and investigate more strictly to prevent anyone from having any undesirable thoughts."

Cui Ling lowered his eyes, and the wound on his neck was bleeding along the skin.

The emperor glanced at him and said, "You can leave now."
