Hearing from the palace servants that the candles in Chengqian Palace were still lit, Feng An quickly conveyed the message to Xiao Chengxu.

Xiao Chengxu originally didn't know how to face Xie Yaoqing, but when he heard that Xie Yaoqing didn't want to go to sleep, he couldn't care about anything else and immediately rushed to Chengqian Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."

The drowsy Xie Yaoqing started awake and became much more awake.

"What is he here for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengxu walked in.

"You all go down."

Xiao Chengxu spoke, and Zhiyu and others quickly retreated.

"Qingqing, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Xie Yaoqing shook his head.

Xiao Chengxu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, but his expression still did not look relaxed.

It's not a good idea to keep holding on like this without sleeping or resting.

When he thought this, he obviously forgot that he hadn't had a good rest in the past half month, but he didn't take it seriously.

They looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, Xiao Chengxu made small talk: "Would you like to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to stay for a while? The Marquis and the others are very concerned about you."

Even when Marquis Yongchang and his men entered the palace, they could usually only see Emperor Xiao Chengxu and could not easily see Xie Yaoqing. After all, they had to abide by the rules. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the harem, even if they were their biological fathers and brothers. Otherwise, they would easily be criticized.

But if Xie Yaoqing went back to the Marquis' Mansion to visit his relatives, there would not be so many rules. The whole family would be together and enjoy the joy of reunion.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoqing's heart moved, he thought about it, and nodded.

She also missed her family at home.

Although she had received news from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion that her relatives had not suffered any harm in the earthquake, Xie Yaoqing was still worried because she hadn't seen them with her own eyes. However, the Yongchang Marquis and others had all held important positions in disaster relief and were very busy. If Xie Yaoqing returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she might not be able to see them and might even cause trouble. So Xie Yaoqing gave up the idea of ​​leaving the palace for the time being.

Now that Xiao Chengxu had taken the initiative to bring it up, Xie Yaoqing naturally agreed readily.

A sincere smile appeared on Xie Yaoqing's face, with anticipation and joy flashing in her eyes.

The night is getting darker.

Xie Yaoqing was also becoming more and more sleepy.

Seeing that she could hardly open her eyes, Xiao Chengxu held his breath and concentrated.

After a while, seeing that Xie Yaoqing closed her eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, Xiao Chengxu picked her up gently, took off her shoes and socks, and put her on the bed. During the whole process, he was extremely careful, for fear of making any noise and waking her up.

Xie Yaoqing lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her breathing steady, her face serene. Xiao Chengxu sat quietly beside the bed, gazing at her tenderly.

He knew he should leave tactfully, but his feet seemed to be nailed down and he couldn't move at all.

In the end, Xiao Chengxu still couldn't resist the temptation in his heart, and he got on the bed carefully and lay down beside Xie Yaoqing. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling the warm body temperature of the person in his arms, and his heart was full of satisfaction and happiness.

The two hugged each other tightly, their breaths intertwined.

This night was unusually peaceful for Xie Yaoqing and Xiao Chengxu. They both slept soundly and slept well until dawn.

Xie Yaoqing no longer had those strange dreams, and Xiao Chengxu was finally able to relax and fall asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Xie Yaoqing woke up first. The moment he opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and he secretly thanked God that he did not have a nightmare last night.

Because if you have nightmares as soon as you fall asleep, then sleep will become a painful thing and a heavy burden.

No one can go without sleep or rest.

Xie Yaoqing just breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

But the next moment she suddenly realized that she was in someone's arms, leaning against a warm body. This hug was extremely familiar, as if it was engraved into her bones.

Almost subconsciously, Xie Yaoqing raised his foot without hesitation and kicked hard to the side.

However, this kick did not knock Xiao Chengxu off the bed as expected, but the not-so-small noise was enough to wake Xiao Chengxu up from his sleep.

"What's wrong? Qingqing." Xiao Chengxu asked in a daze with sleepy eyes.

Xie Yaoqing's face was gloomy, and she said in a cold tone: "Your Majesty has nowhere to go? Why don't I pack up and move out of Chengqian Palace and let Your Majesty live there."

When Xiao Chengxu heard this, his heart was shocked and he immediately sobered up a little. He regretted it secretly, wondering how he could have slept so deeply. If he could wake up earlier than Qingqing and leave quietly before she woke up, and at the same time warn everyone in the palace not to leak anything, then Qingqing would not know that he had spent the night in Chengqian Palace last night, and naturally she would not be angry at this moment.

But no matter how upset he was, he couldn't change the fact that had already happened - Xiao Chengxu woke up later than Xie Yaoqing! And he woke up after being kicked.

If Xie Yaoqing hadn't kicked him like that, Xiao Chengxu didn't know how long he would have to sleep before waking up.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengxu's face couldn't help but become a little embarrassed. He apologized and hurriedly stood up.

The two masters actually stayed in the same place last night. Feng An and other palace maids who served Xie Yaoqing naturally thought that Xie Yaoqing and Xiao Chengxu had reconciled. So everyone's face was filled with joy, and even their steps seemed particularly light.

"Your Majesty, do you want to dine with the Emperor?" Juexia asked softly.

Xie Yaoqing snorted lightly, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

"It's just a breakfast. There's plenty of it in the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

The implication is that there is no need to go through the trouble of preparing Xiao Chengxu's breakfast.

Jue Xia was secretly surprised and couldn't help wondering, did they misunderstand the relationship between the Queen and the Emperor? Could it be that the two of them were not really reconciled? Were they happy for nothing?
