Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

It was not until Yun Chuwei's breath completely soothed the emptiness and discomfort in his heart that he reluctantly left those sweet lips.

However, he still couldn't bear to let her go.

He still held her steadily, tightly in his arms, leaned on the table, buried his head in her chest, and breathed in the scent that belonged only to her.

Yun Chuwei was held up by him, her legs wrapped around his waist, her hands around his head, and only then did she feel a little safe.

She frowned slightly and whispered, "Xie Xuan, put me down!"

Hearing this, Xie Xuan raised his head from her chest and acted pitifully: "But Weiwei, you ignored me when I put you down. I felt really bad when you ignored me."

Yun Chu pursed his lips slightly.

Looking at his current state, she couldn't bear to blame him.

She bent her hand, touched his cheek with her fingertips, and rubbed it gently: "I'm not really angry with you, I'm just too busy these days."

Xie Xuan asked, "Then you won't ignore me?"

Yun Chuwei shook his head slightly: "I promise you, I won't ignore you. Can you let me go now?"

Xie Xuan shook his head: "Let's just talk, okay?"

Yun Chuwei: ...

"Don't you think this is weird? Aren't you tired?"

This man had to hold her up and talk to her while looking up. Wasn't he tired?

Can't you put her down and let them sit and talk?

Do you have to keep this weird posture?

"I'm not tired!" Xie Xuan denied immediately.

He just wanted to hug her and look up at her.

He thought of something, and with one hand he held Yun Chuwei, lowering her a little, and with the other hand he pressed her head on his shoulder.

He whispered, "If Weiwei feels tired, just lean on me."

Yun Chuwei gave up struggling and let him hold her in his arms, with her hands hooked around his neck and her forehead resting on his shoulder, hanging on him like a koala and taking a nap.

Then, she heard Xie Xuan say sullenly: "I heard Li Yuanmu expressed his feelings to you, Weiwei, I feel bad..."

Yun Chu chuckled softly, like a breeze blowing across the lake: "He expressed his feelings to me, not to you, why are you upset?"

Xie Xuan: …

He fell silent.

Don't know how to explain it.

Yun Chuwei couldn't bear to tease him, and continued: "Well, didn't I agree to him?"

Xie Xuan tilted his head, kissed Yun Chuwei's hair with his thin lips, and said in a low voice: "But I just don't feel well?"

He almost couldn't hold back and rushed up to punch Li Yuanmu.

But he finally endured it.

He was afraid that Weiwei would get even angrier.

Yun Chuwei found it a little funny, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only change the subject.

"Don't worry about it. Why don't you explain where you went this morning?" Yun Chuwei said, raising her head, twisting her hand on Xie Xuan's ear and pulling it gently, "Xie Xuan, are you capable of that? You ran away without making a sound?"

Hearing this, Xie Xuan quickly said, "I didn't mean to run away. When I left, I saw you taking a nap, and I didn't have the heart to wake you up."

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly: "So what did you do?"

Xie Xuan thought for a moment before saying, "I have arranged people around. I'm afraid Li Ping might have bad intentions and want to keep you here. I thought I should make some preparations just in case."

He didn't expect that he would make such preparations, and for her.

Yun Chuwei didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Xuan quickly said, "Are you angry? I promise you, I will never leave without saying a word in the future. Even if you fall asleep, I will leave you a letter. Don't ignore me, okay?"

Yun Chuwei buried her head in his shoulder, rubbed it, and whispered: "I'm not angry, Xie Xuan, you've been here for too long. Isn't it time to go back?"

She came here for something, and Xie Xuan just left her official duties to come here. If Emperor Tianqi found out, it would be hard to explain.

Xie Xuan's mind flashed with the scene of Li Yuanmu expressing his feelings to Yun Chuwei. He shook his head: "No! I won't leave!"

He can't leave Yun Chuwei here alone!

Neither of the Li Yuanmu brothers are good people.

They must be coveting Weiwei.

Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "You're not leaving? Then you want to stay here alone? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the Li brothers?"

Xie Xuan: …

"Are you going back too?" Xie Xuan asked.

"What else?" Things here have been settled. Why not go back and stay here?

"Then I'll go back with you!" Xie Xuan said seriously, "Wherever Weiwei is, I'll be there too."

-

The next day, Yun Chuwei went to talk to Li Ping about the return trip.

Yun Chuwei told Li Ping that she was planning to leave the next day.

Li Ping seemed to have expected this and said, "Ms. Yun should indeed go back. I have a request, and I hope she will agree to it!"

"You say!" Yun Chuwei looked at Li Ping.

Li Ping said seriously, "I have prepared tribute from Goryeo and written a memorial. I plan to have my second son take it to the capital to pay tribute to His Majesty. My second son will stay in the capital from now on. Whether he is on the way back to the capital or in the capital in the future, I hope that Miss can help me take care of him!"

Although Yun Chuwei was surprised, she also understood that Li Ping was taking the initiative to send hostages to Emperor Tianqi.

This is good! At least it can reassure the suspicious king.

"General Li, rest assured. I will have someone take good care of Mr. Li!"

Li Ping looked grateful: "Then I would like to thank you first, Miss."

Yun Chuwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "General Li, you are too polite!"

-

On the way back, Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan came out of the governor's mansion and saw Li Yuanmu and his team waiting for them there.

Li Yuanmu saw Yun Chuwei, endured the discomfort in his heart, lowered his head and said: "Miss Yun, everything is ready. We can set off at any time!"

Seeing this, Xie Xuan pulled Yun Chuwei towards him.

When Li Yuanmu saw Xie Xuan's little action, his eyes dimmed a little.

Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "Let's go now!"

Li Yuanmu was about to nod when he saw Li Ping coming with Li Yuanyi and Zhang Gong to see him off.

Li Ping looked at Yun Chuwei, then looked at Xie Xuan beside her, and whispered, "Miss Yun, can I have a word with you?"

It was obvious that Li Ping didn't want Xie Xuan to hear what he said.

After hearing this, Xie Xuan frowned, then reached out and grabbed Yun Chuwei's hand, interlocking their fingers.

His meaning was very clear, he didn't want Yun Chuwei to talk to these people alone.

Yun Chu smiled and said to Li Ping, "General Li, just speak frankly. He is not an outsider."

Li Ping frowned slightly, but finally bowed slightly to Yun Chu.

Zhang Gong and Li Yuanyi, who were following him, also bowed to Yun Chuwei with him.

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
