When Fang Ying woke up, he noticed something strange. He opened his eyes, and first saw a refined and gentle face.The distance is so close that you can almost hear your breathing.

After making sure that she read it correctly, Fang Ying blushed uncontrollably after realizing that she was really lying in Nie Mingchi's arms.

Fang Ying climbed up cautiously, only to be pushed back by a big hand.

"Can't sleep?" Nie Mingchi's voice was hoarse perhaps because of sleep.

"No." Fang Ying said quickly, but his face became more and more red, his voice was muffled and nasal, "Then I'll sleep for a while."

Nie Mingchi hummed softly. He didn't sleep very well last night, so he happened to take a rest while the sky was not completely bright.

Fang Ying fell asleep in Nie Mingchi's arms again, and only woke up when the sound of drums was heard outside at dawn.

Nie Mingchi had already got up and was putting on his belt, Fang Ying got up behind him, looking sleepy.

Fang Ying picked up the clothes and put them on herself, moving slowly.Nie Mingchi couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over to help him.

The ancient clothes were a little troublesome to wear, and Fang Ying was sleepy, so the ropes on the clothes were tied with knots.Fang Ying didn't think it would be such a trouble at first, after making a lot of things and still tying them up, he finally woke up completely.

Only then did he realize that Nie Mingchi was standing beside him at some point, carefully untying the knot for him.He untied the knots repeatedly, and soon Fang Ying put on all the clothes.

"Thank you, thank you." Fang Ying stammered.

"You don't need to thank me." Nie Mingchi said, "After all, you have helped me change my clothes a lot."

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but as soon as Fang Ying said it, he remembered the scene of being hugged and fell asleep by him in the morning, and his ears turned red.

Fang Ying coughed uncomfortably and stopped talking. Nie Mingchi was also uncharacteristically quiet.

After Fang Ying got dressed, she saw Nie Wu and Lu Li coming in from outside, and bowed to Nie Mingchi.

Seeing that they seemed to have business to discuss, Fang Ying quietly retreated to the side.

Nie Wu first stepped forward and handed Nie Mingchi a piece of fabric, "This was found from the assassin, and it's the fabric of the wilderness."

"But we found out after interrogation that they all speak with a capital accent."

Nie Mingchi frowned upon hearing this, "Is there anyone alive?"

"There is one." Nie Wu replied, "We knocked out the poison sac behind his teeth first, so there is still one alive."

Before Nie Mingchi could question him, Nie Wu continued, "This person confessed that they were a group of hired assassins, and he didn't know who the patron was. The leader who knew the whereabouts of the patron had already bitten off the poison sac and died."

"It's obvious that the person secretly hired at this moment not only wants to blame the wasteland, but also knows us very well."

Nie Mingchi rubbed his brows, "Since we can't find the real culprit, let's end this beforehand."

Nie Mingchi's head started to hurt again. The reason why he rubbed the center of his eyebrows every time was because his headache was about to burst but he couldn't show it, so he had to secretly grit his teeth and endure it.

Fang Ying stood aside, but he could see clearly that Nie Mingchi's complexion was a little pale, and the color of his lips was not right.Fang Ying didn't wonder for a long time, but Nie Mingchi told Lu Li and Nie Wu to go down first.

Seeing him like this, Fang Ying came over to help Nie Mingchi sit down after the two left.

Nie Mingchi knew that Fang Ying must have sensed something, but at the moment he couldn't care less, this time the headache came on violently, and it was more tormenting than before.

Fang Ying saw Nie Mingchi put one hand on his temple, reaching out to gently massage the acupuncture point for Nie Mingchi.

Fang Ying suddenly approached, and a faint fragrance of green grass wafted over. Nie Mingchi was massaged for a long time, and then he felt that his headache seemed not so serious.

He looked at the young man who had been massaging himself, his eyes were imperceptibly soft.

Fang Ying was about to stretch his already sore arm, when he was stared at by such eyes suddenly, he was momentarily stunned.

Nie Mingchi's eyes seemed to be a foot deep pool, full of tenderness, almost drowning people in it.Fang Ying was watched by such eyes, and soon forgot his own breathing.

He just watched quietly like this, reluctant to take his eyes away.It wasn't until a soft touch came from the corner of her lips that Fang Ying came back to her senses.

Fang Ying looked at the magnified face in front of him, and didn't know how to react for a moment.

Seeing that Fang Ying was stunned, Nie Mingchi pushed a little harder and kissed him deeply.

Fang Ying finally recovered from the surprise this time, "You..."

It is true that Fang Ying encountered such a thing for the first time, but unexpectedly, he did not resist Nie Mingchi's touch, and even a slight sweetness welled up in his heart.

This feeling made Fang Ying feel strange, even in a trance.The owner kissed him, how is it possible?But the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Fang Ying came to his senses from the kiss belatedly, not knowing what to say.But seeing Nie Mingchi leaning forward and pulling him into his arms.

Fang Ying's ears were completely red, and he said softly, "What are you doing?"

"Just hug you, save you running." Nie Mingchi said.

"Does your head hurt anymore?" Fang Ying said.

"It's much better after all." Nie Mingchi said again.

Neither of them spoke anymore, Fang Ying nestled in Nie Mingchi's arms, even his cheeks began to turn red, "Put me down, it's not good to be seen."

Fang Ying's voice was almost inaudible. Fortunately, Nie Mingchi's hearing is sensitive, otherwise he wouldn't know what he was talking about.

Nie Mingchi smiled, and took the man into his arms, "It's nothing, I'll see it when I see it."

"But I'm not your male favourite, let alone your lover. If I'm seen like this, I'll be misunderstood."

Nie Mingchi glanced at Fang Ying upon hearing this, but he did not let go of Fang Ying. He approached Fang Ying's head, "What identity do you want?"

Fang Ying never expected that Nie Mingchi would say such a thing, and he was completely surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the other party asking such a question, Fang Ying only felt that he was about to lose the ability to think.

At this moment, the tent door was opened, and Shaodi walked in from outside holding the tiger cub.The young emperor who happened to bump into this scene immediately widened his eyes, looking at the two people who were moving closely.

Fang Ying was a little embarrassed, and quickly got out of Nie Mingchi's arms. Nie Mingchi gently let him go and let him go.

The two tidied up their clothes, Fang Ying saluted the young emperor first, and then walked aside to wait.

The young emperor's eyes followed Fang Ying all the time, seeing his ears were red, he asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong with him?"

Fang Yingjian Shaodi's eyes fell on his ear, and he was almost choked to death by his own saliva.

On the other hand, Nie Mingchi looked as usual, "It's nothing, I was playing with him just now."

Fang Ying coughed, and then gave Nie Mingchi a hard look.Nie Mingchi didn't realize it, but chuckled lightly.

The young emperor saw that the two were unusual, but he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Nie Mingchi was his elder, and some things were hard to say.

Nie Mingchi deftly diverted the topic, "Why are you here?"

The young emperor restrained his thoughts and said, "The preparations for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven are almost ready, and it can start almost tomorrow. I just came here to inform my little uncle."

"Well," Nie Mingchi replied, "I leave everything to you to arrange, and I won't interfere this time. When Zhen'er grows up, she should learn to make decisions by herself in many things."

The young emperor hesitated for a while, apparently not expecting Nie Mingchi to say such words, and hummed softly, "If little uncle has nothing else to do, then I will step back first. I was just interrupting."

The last sentence was what the other party should say, Fang Ying's ears were so red that he was about to bleed, but when he was about to explain something, he saw that the young emperor had already left.

Only Fang Ying and Nie Mingchi were left in the tent again, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

"I, I'll go out to get some air first, it's too stuffy in the tent." Fang Ying said hastily.

After finishing speaking, he went out by himself, leaving only Nie Mingchi in the tent.

After the assassination, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens that had been put on hold could finally continue. The young emperor, dressed in a black imperial gown, climbed up the highest steps and performed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens in front of everyone.

It took a whole morning for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven to be considered over, and finally the young emperor led all the ministers to kowtow before it was completely over.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, and everyone is preparing to return. Fortunately, the journey is not too far away, and it only takes about half a day to return to the imperial city.

It was already night when he returned to the imperial city, and Fang Ying didn't even want to move his arms when he returned to the mansion. He felt uncomfortable when the carriage bumped on the road, and he even had symptoms of motion sickness.

As soon as Nie Mingchi returned to the mansion, he asked the military doctor in the mansion to check Fang Ying's pulse, and he was relieved to learn that he was just motion sick.

Nie Mingchi sent the military doctor away, and returned to the bedside to take good care of Fang Ying.

Fang Ying looked at him, not knowing what to do for a while.

After all, Nie Mingchi just expressed his heart to him today, and he didn't know how to deal with Nie Mingchi's heart.

Nie Mingchi's behavior is already obvious, it's the performance of someone who likes someone.

As for himself, it can only be said that he does not reject this emotion. In addition, it is certain that he has a good impression of Nie Mingchi. The boundary of this affection is very blurred, making it difficult for him to tell whether he has reached the level of liking.

Fang Ying was completely inexperienced and didn't know what to do, so he just lay on the bed and pretended to be dead.Soon, he heard the rustling of clothes, it was Nie Mingchi climbing onto the couch.

"What are you doing?" Fang Ying looked at him in surprise.

"Just sleeping, what are you thinking?" Nie Mingchi looked at him with a smile.

Fang Ying's ears were reddened, and he said softly.

Fang Ying lay quietly on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy anyway. He turned over and looked at Nie Mingchi.

It is true that Nie Mingchi has a good skin. Although he is unreliable at times, he is still very powerful at critical moments.

Fang Ying looked at Nie Mingchi quietly, and after a while felt a gaze, it was Nie Mingchi looking at him.

Nie Mingchi moved towards Fang Ying, "What were you thinking just now?"

"I'm thinking that sometimes you are quite reliable."

Nie Mingchi smiled, "You mean to say that I don't look reliable, do you?"

Fang Ying rarely said anything.

"Actually, it's much better now. It was really unreliable before. It's not because I was forced to be the queen regent." Nie Mingchi seemed to recall something, his eyes softened.

"Actually, it's pretty good that you are like this now." Fang Ying said.

"Then do you like me now? I like you, do you like me again?"

Fang Ying was shocked by this sudden confession, his eyes widened.
