The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

"It's not a person, it's a dog."

Shen Jingli asked: "There is no word on the tombstone, how do you know it was a dog?"

Qian Mangui: "Raw meat, raw ribs, what they burn is not paper money, but paper bones, paper dog houses, and paper chicken legs."

"Um…"

"Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Shen Jingli was in a bad mood, Qian Mangui thought that it was because of the pain in his legs.

"Nothing, I just don't like death...When people die, there's nothing left..."

Shen Jingli had died once, so he naturally cherished life more.

Death is the final destination that everyone must go through. No matter how much you dislike it, it is useless. Qian Mangui followed Shen Jingli's words and said, "This is the way children think. People will die one day, so we should live well."

Shen Jingli didn't respond. He looked up at the sky. The sun was about to set...

She said goodbye to Qian Mangui and returned to the palace.

----

Inside the Ganlu Hall.

Song Zhu was the first to notice Shen Jingli's limping appearance. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty?! Who! Who broke your leg?"

"..."

Songzhu: "Don't cry. Tomorrow, I will make you a pair of crutches."

"I sprained it accidentally! It's not broken."

"That's good, that's good. You scared me to death." Shen Jingli went down to eat with the help of Song Zhu.

……

As soon as night fell, she came to the Chikuen Garden and sat on the swing with the help of pine and bamboo. "Your Majesty? You still want to swing with your leg sprained?"

"If you don't want to swing...just sit down."

Shen Jingli let Songzhu go down first, as she wanted to be alone at this time.

She rested her head on the rope and stared blankly at herself.

After a long time, she took out some broken branches of the Deer Spirit Flower from her arms, which she had taken away when pruning the roots.

Shen Jingli stared at the broken branch in his palm and his face fell immediately. "It's too little. It's simply a fantasy."

"Why do you like to talk to yourself all the time?" Shen Jingli looked up and a handsome face came into his sight.

Qin Yejue's appearance is truly impeccable, with an upright figure and outstanding demeanor... just like the person in the painting.

Shen Jingli calmly hid the broken branch in his sleeve and looked away, "You always like to sneakily eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

Qin Yejue reached out and touched Shen Jingli's little head. Seeing that she looked tired, the light in her eyes dimmed.

"What injustice did you suffer today?"

She was indeed feeling wronged today. Gao Yunche forced her to dance and she accidentally twisted her ankle.

and many more!

Could it be that Qin Yejue already knew about Lu Linghua? But if he knew about this, he should not ask if he was wronged first, but should ask Lu Linghua directly.

Shen Jingli pretended to be calm and rubbed his fingertips, "No... no, why do you ask like that? Who can let me suffer..."

Qin Yejue pinched Shen Jingli's cheek again, "Really?"

If Qin Yejue didn't believe it, he would naturally send people to investigate. If the people of Qingshan Village were unwilling to offer the Deer Spirit Flower, according to Qin Yejue's methods, there might be a tragedy in which the entire Qingshan Village would be wiped out.

……

Shen Jingli raised his head slightly, met Qin Yejue's eyes, and asked cautiously in a vague tone, "Well...you...don't believe me?"

Shen Jingli was obviously a little nervous. His hands were lightly clasped together, his eyelashes trembling slightly, like a helpless little rabbit.

Qin Yejue's Adam's apple rolled. At this moment, he felt dry mouth and tongue, and his eyes were throbbing.

"I believe it~"

After saying that, he sighed softly, stretched out his left hand again, and pinched Shen Jingli's cheek with more force.

Shen Jingli heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Yejue's answer. Fortunately, he didn't take it too seriously.

But her cheeks were pinched so hard that it hurt. She protested with round eyes, "It hurts!"

Qin Yejue paused and said in a low voice, "It's getting late."

After waiting for a whole day, I finally made it to the evening.

At night, I can hold him and fall asleep...

Shen Jingli understood what Qin Yejue meant. He just wanted him to go to Long Xiao Palace to warm the bed.

However, she didn't want to go today because of her mobility issues.

Besides, Qin Yejue always likes kisses and hugs. Although he is just looking for warmth in me, but... this can easily lead to an accidental outburst!

What if he couldn't control himself and found out that she was a woman after forcing himself on her? Would he kill himself in anger?

That's not worth it!

It’s really hard to earn these ten taels.

"I'm not going tonight..."

Qin Yejue leaned forward slightly, holding Shen Jingli's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You said you don't want to go?"

Shen Jingli nodded gently, "... um..."

"why?"

Qin Yejue moved a little closer, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Doesn't he have any attachment to being close to me?

That subtle feeling is obviously very comfortable and addictive.

Shen Jingli looked away in panic, "I... sprained my ankle, so it's inconvenient."

"what happened?"

Shen Jingli made up a lie, "I just didn't see the road clearly and accidentally sprained my ankle."

"Are you sure it was an accident?"

Shen Jingli nodded heavily, "Yes! Are you sure? Didn't you say it's getting late? You should go back soon."

Qin Yejue: "Which foot?"

"Left."

Qin Yejue directly picked her up by the waist. The sudden feeling of weightlessness startled Shen Jingli. She subconsciously hugged Qin Yejue's neck, and couldn't help but feel confused and began to struggle.

Shen Jingli's strength was not great to begin with, so Qin Yejue simply ignored it and was worried about his foot pain. "If you sprain your ankle, don't move."

She has difficulty walking now. If Qin Yejue doesn't behave like a human being, then she will definitely not be able to hide her identity as a girl!

"I'm really not going tonight!"

"You don't have to go."

After hearing Qin Yejue say that he didn't have to go, Shen Jingli finally gave up struggling and said, "Then put me down."

……

Qin Yejue did not let the man go, but walked towards the bedroom of Qianlu Palace.

"Qin Yejue, thank you for sending me back. See you tomorrow."

Shen Jingli told him to leave. As long as Qin Yejue didn't leave, she felt very uneasy.

"No need to thank me, I don't plan to leave."

Shen Jingli half opened his red lips and said in astonishment, "Why are you staying in my bedroom? Do you want to sleep in my bed?"

"I really haven't slept before, but I can give it a try."

"No."

Qin Yejue sat on the bed by himself, and Shen Jingli sat on his legs. "…My bed is not clean, and there is only one pillow."

Qin Yejue gently lifted Shen Jingli's left foot. Feeling the pain, Shen Jingli frowned and cried out, "Ah..."

"It hurts, don't touch my feet."

Qin Yejue's eyes were focused on Shen Jingli's slightly wrinkled brows. He could feel the person in his arms trembling. His heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. He comforted her in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid. It will hurt more later. It will be fine after a while."

The pain went away after a while. Could it be that Qin Yejue wanted to help her reset her leg? He was so strong, he might cripple her.

Shen Jingli's face was full of reluctance, "What do you want to do? Bone straightening?"

Qin Yejue gently held Shen Jingli's ankle and nodded, "Yes, the ankle is slightly red and swollen."
