The sound of water waves deep in the dormitory gradually stopped, leaving only two gasps of enlightenment.
Ye Jingtang leaned on the bedside of the dragon bed. His face was a little frailer than when he had eaten a full meal, but his eyes were still clear. He held his waist with both hands and kissed his neck:
"Are you tired?"
The empress sat in a duck-sitting position, lying on her body facing the Night Terror Hall. By the dim candlelight, the battered white jade tiger could be seen, drooling slowly, and its delicate flowers looked slightly messy.
With six Minglong pictures beside her and ten years of training, she has a strong body on the outside and plenty of energy on the inside. Naturally, the empress is not tired, but it is the first time in her life that she has been tossing like this, and she still can't help but feel a little dizzy and her chin remains.
Put it on the broad shoulders of Ye Jingtang, and breathe out like a orchid:
"Presumptuous~ I want to call His Majesty..."
In the past, Ye Jingtang felt that His Majesty's low-ranking ministers sounded a bit distant, but now he thought it was quite interesting, so he showed humility and respect:
"Are you tired, Your Majesty?"
"A bit..."
After all, the empress is the emperor of a country. Although she is still a little shy in her heart, she quickly regains her condescending look. She stands up slightly and looks at the Night Jing Hall face to face:
"Are you satisfied?"
"Um."
Ye Jingtang nodded with a smile in his eyes. He looked down and found that Yu Hu was dirty by himself, so he tried to hold Yu Hu up and get up:
"I'll help Your Majesty go and wash up..."
The empress didn't even want to move her fingers, so she naturally didn't refuse. However, what she didn't expect was that Concubine Ye, who had perfected her marksmanship just now, sat back down as soon as she stood up, her expression also showing a bit of embarrassment.
:
"Uh... I'll take it slow."
"Ha~"
The empress knew that Ye Jingtang was injured and went into battle, and she had served her with all her heart and soul for so long. It was quite impressive that she could still sit and talk now.
She was not ignorant of pity, so she turned over and sat next to her, helped Ye Jingtang lie down, and covered her with the spring quilt:
"Have a good rest. Didn't you say that our love is deep and natural? It's not a reward. I'll give you a big reward if you feel better in a few days."
After Ye Jingtang had eaten, drank, and relaxed, he was indeed quite sleepy. He didn't force himself to hold on, and slowly closed his eyes under Yuhu's gentle soothing.
The empress had been lying on her side beside her until Ye Jingtang's breathing gradually stabilized and she fell asleep, then she stood up carefully, put the Pisces pendant that wished her peace and safety under the pillow, and then stood up on her own.
Because it was the first time that Concubine Ye had visited her, the empress's legs were actually a little weak, but she could still bear it. She blew out the candles, carefully studied Ye Jingtang's face for a long time under the moonlight, and then turned around and entered the room behind the screen.
bathroom……
——
On a branch in the moonlight, in the imperial study room outside the palace.
In the spacious study room, Dongfang Liren was still sitting at the desk, reading various news from the front line. Master Xuanji was lazily leaning on the soft couch, holding a wine gourd in his hand, looking at the moonlight outside the window,
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
Because the Empress Dowager did not make her relationship public, she did not return to the palace when it was time to go to bed. It was obviously not good to wait here like Dongfang Liren. Therefore, when it was getting late, she returned to the palace with Hong Yu, only for Shui'er to wake up with a night terror.
Then send her a message.
Although Pei Xiangjun also misses her very much in her heart, the queen and Shui'er are both new sisters, and they all think about it very much. In the palace, it is not easy for her to pretend to be a lady and take the lead, so she went back to the palace where she stayed.
Wait, wait for the Night Terror Hall to finish its work and come over.
It was late at night, it was already past the time to turn off the lights, and there were fewer files coming from below.
After Dongfang Liren read what he had on hand, he put down his pen and paper and looked bored, then turned to look at the Master sitting at the window:
"It's getting so late, and the Night Terror Hall hasn't woken up yet?"
Master Xuanji is naturally very worried about her husband's situation, but as a master, she still has to be humble when it is time to give in. Otherwise, if she doesn't protect her next time when a group starts, she is afraid that Qinghe will kill her. For this reason
Said softly:
"Why don't I help you keep an eye on this place, and you can go over and take a look?"
Dongfang Liren had this idea and immediately stood up and walked out:
"If Night Terror Hall wakes up, I will send someone to call Master over."
"What do you want me to do? I'm not in a hurry as a teacher."
When Dongfang Liren saw that his master was still reserved, he shook his head secretly in his heart, and without saying much, he quickly walked to the emperor's palace with the maids waiting outside the door.
It was almost midnight, and the lights were turned off inside and outside the palace. The palace servants who were originally serving the empress in the palace were driven to the outskirts of the palace to spend the night because they needed to rest in the night terror hall. The palace in the middle of the palace was completely dark, without any trace of light.
sound.
Tap tap tap...
Dongfang Liren took four maids along the walkway to the outside of the palace. Before they reached the inner door, they saw an attractive woman leaning on the porch, waving a fan in her hand in a bored manner, admiring
With moonlight.
?
Seeing Mrs. Wang staying up late at night and standing at the door, Dongfang Liren's eyes naturally looked a bit inexplicable.
Mrs. Wang is not a palace official or a royal doctor, but the daughter-in-law of the miracle doctor Wang. She often comes in and out of the palace just because she has good medical skills and is a woman, which makes it easier to do things.
Dongfang Liren has known Mrs. Wang since he was a child. At first, he respected this dignified and polite goddess doctor. However, since joining the team with Ning'er, he learned that those messy gameplay, as well as Olay and other auxiliary products, were all taught privately by Mrs. Wang.
After that, the way she looked at Mrs. Wang was naturally a little different.
However, Dongfang Liren has also been here for a long time. Naturally, these boudoir matters will not be discussed on the table. At present, he just walked outside the door and said doubtfully:
"It's almost the third night, why doesn't Mrs. Wang take a rest?"
When Mrs. Wang noticed that Prince Jing was coming, she put away her lazy expression and bowed:
"Greetings to Your Highness. Well... Your Majesty just went to bed. I was worried about my health and was afraid of being summoned at night, so I walked around to enjoy the scenery..."
"oh."
Dongfang Liren glanced inside the door, but the dormitory was still some distance away and he couldn't see anything, so he asked:
"Are you awake at night?"
Mrs. Wang blinked, but she didn't have a good answer to this.
After all, the empress just ran back and forth and cooked several bowls of noodles. It was impossible for her to eat them by herself. The night terror hall must have woken up.
But after Ye Jingtang woke up, the empress did not let her go for consultation. Instead, she asked her to wait at the door. She also specifically told her that if anyone came over, she should go in first and let her know.
This is the Emperor's palace. Who else could come and disturb me at night, except the Empress Dowager, Imperial Master and Prince Jing? It is self-evident who the Empress is guarding against.
Mrs. Wang has been dealing with the wealthy ladies of Wende Bridge for many years, and she is very smart. Although she has not seen it with her own eyes, she has already guessed that the current emperor may be doing something on the dragon bed that she cannot know.
Seeing Prince Jing come to the door, Mrs. Wang did not dare to let him in, causing chaos in the palace. She could only say:
"Master Ye has been resting, so you can't disturb him. I didn't wake up before I came out. Your Majesty has been out running around for a day and is feeling tired. Hmm... How about I go over and inform His Highness after the Holy Emperor's message?"
Although Dongfang Liren is a clumsy martial artist, he is not stupid. When he found out that his sister was sleeping in the dormitory, and Ye Tingtang was also sleeping in the dormitory, and no outsiders were allowed in, suspicion naturally arose in his mind.
Seeing Mrs. Wang blocking her as a doorkeeper, Dongfang Liren opened his mouth and said:
"How about Mrs. Wang help me go in and take a look?"
Mrs. Wang naturally did not refuse this. She immediately turned around and wanted to go in to spy on the information. The result was that she turned around just now:
Dong Dong~
Mrs. Wang's figure paused, and then she fell down.
Dongfang Liren raised his hand to catch Mrs. Wang and delivered it to the accompanying palace maid:
"You guys send Mrs. Wang back to her room to rest."
"yes."
The palace maid who followed saw that Prince Jing was actually quarreling with the Holy Emperor because of Duke Ye. She dared not say a word, so she quickly supported Mrs. Wang and left quickly.
Dongfang Liren stood in front of the door with his hands folded. He waited until all the palace maids had left, then he picked up the python robe, carefully stepped into the inner hanging door, followed the corridor and went around to the outside of the bedroom.
The lights in the dormitory have been turned off, only the screen in the depths still shines with a dim light, and there is a slight sound of water splashing from inside:
Wow~
Dongfang Liren was already suspicious, so seeing this look on his face he naturally became more cautious, and quietly entered through the palace gate. He wanted to eavesdrop on what was going on in the bathroom, but in the blink of an eye he saw Ye Jingtang lying on the dragon bed like before, looking as if
A bit weaker than before...
?
When Dongfang Liren saw this, his heart naturally tightened. He originally wanted to check in front of the dragon bed, but he was afraid of disturbing the rest in the Night Terror Hall, so he quietly walked to the screen and looked inside.
The small bathroom was brightly lit, and the meticulous empress was soaking in the white stone bathtub with white mist. The water was up to her chest, and two perfect semicircles could be seen, half floating on the water. She was gently scrubbing her shoulders with her hands.
His expression was still somewhat dazed, as if he had just experienced something very important.
??
Dongfang Liren saw his sister taking a bath with the door open. He was quite suspicious at first, but when he saw his sister's lost expression, he put away his distracting thoughts for the time being, walked out of the screen and came to the bathroom door, and said softly:
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
The empress seemed to hear the voice and realized that Li Ren was coming. She raised her soft eyes and looked at it, then she calmed down and showed a smile:
"How did you come?"
When Dongfang Liren saw this forced smile, she naturally felt a little anxious. She quickly came to the edge of the bath and squatted down. Just as she was about to speak, she found a small red cloth thrown aside. She thought it was a handkerchief, but when she picked it up, she found...
…
?
Dongfang Liren quickly threw the immodest clothes on the imperial concubine's couch and asked with concern:
"Sister, why are you so distracted? What happened?"
The empress has always been a bold person and did not want to hide her feelings from her sister. However, it was still a bit inappropriate to openly say that she had an affair with her brother-in-law. For this reason, she just said with some hesitation:
"Just now...just now I woke up from a night terror."
Dongfang Liren blinked, looked back at the dormitory, and then turned around:
"Then what?"
"His physical condition is not right, well... his energy and blood are disordered, and he is a little confused. I wanted to help him, but I never thought..."
Dongfang Liren looked at his sister's hesitant expression and secretly thought something was wrong. His nose twitched, and as a result, he smelled something familiar from the small bathroom...
?!
Dongfang Liren was shocked, his face full of disbelief, looking at his sister who had grown up together and depended on each other since childhood:
"You...you and him also..."
The empress held Li Ren's hand and sighed softly:
"Don't blame him. He's not feeling well. It's my fault. I felt soft-hearted..."
"Dongfang Yuhu!"
Dongfang Liren raised her eyebrows and called her sister by her first name, but she was afraid of disturbing her rest in the Night Terror Hall, so she kept her voice low. She pulled her hand away:
"Who blames him? I don't know what kind of temper you are. You are more fierce than Master, and you still put the blame on Ye Jingtang?"
"..."
When the empress saw Li Ren in front of her lover and sister, she chose to trust her lover without hesitation, and her soft cheeks couldn't help but show a little sadness:
"Li Ren, I am your biological sister..."
"You still know?"
Dongfang Liren's eyebrows stood up, and he raised his finger to poke his sister's forehead rather rebelliously:
"How could you do this? You know that Ye Jingtang and I are already in love, but you still...'
Seeing that she couldn't deceive Li Ren, the empress slowly put away her humiliated empress look and said softly:
"Okay, it's my sister's fault, I owe you..."
"Just one word of debt and it's all over? You are my biological sister. What will I do if you do this in the future..."
"From now on, I'll just listen to you when I'm outside or at home, okay, good sister?"
"Don't stay here... huh?"
Dongfang Liren, who was a little angry and angry, froze for a moment when he heard the words "good sister", and looked at the sister who had been suppressing her since she was a child in disbelief:
"What did you say?!"
The empress came closer and said softly:
"My sister has been in power alone for so many years. You can see how hard it is and how tiring it is. From now on, I have the final say in court and you have the final say at home. Okay, good sister?"
"..."
Dongfang Liren took a deep breath, causing the fat-headed dragon to bulge and his brain was a little confused.
According to her temper, if she found out that her sister had stolen her consort, she should be furious and refuse to forgive her.
But if she doesn’t forgive her, her sister finally bowed to her once and her tone was too harsh. What should she do if she breaks the pot? The deal is already done, she can’t kick her sister out of the house.
Moreover, the entire Wei Dynasty belongs to her sister. With the difference in strength between her and her sister, it is still unclear who will be kicked out of the house in the end. If she gives in again then, she will not be compensating her husband, but will have to act honestly.
Second child...
Seeing Li Ren's hesitant eyes, the empress moved closer and held Li Ren's hand:
"This time in Beiliang, Xue Baijin saved Ye Jingtang's life. With Ye Jingtang's character of repaying kindness, Xue Baijin will definitely agree with him in the end. Xue Baijin even refuses to accept me, but I can still lower my head and call you sister.
, if she enters the door, with your three-legged cat martial arts..."
Dongfang Liren pulled his hand away again: "Don't scare me. How can I be afraid of a rebel leader? If she dares to come in, I will make her understand the rules of the house. Let's talk about you now. I don't know what your temper is? Okay now
Call me sister angrily, if I really nod, in a few days you will..."
"Then shall I establish a written document?"
"..."
Dongfang Liren opened his mouth, and after holding it in for a long time, he picked up the paper and pen from the treasure rack, placed it on the edge of the bath, and stared at it seriously.
The empress sighed helplessly, leaned on the edge of the bath, picked up a gold pen and wrote the unequal treaty between sisters on the white paper.
Dongfang Liren has been protected by her sister since she was a child. No matter whether she forced the palace to overturn in desperate situations ten years ago, or she has been governing the government and the public these years, she has not been of any actual help. Instead, she has expanded the collection of famous soldiers in the Black Yamen because of her childhood hobbies.
I wasted a lot of money from the household department. If it hadn't caused a night terror in the end, I would still be scolded by the officials as a prodigal prince.
Seeing that her sister was willing to write such a letter saying that she was willing to be subordinate to her in order to calm her down, Dongfang Liren felt that he was a bit aggressive, gritted his teeth secretly, and finally took the paper back:
"If you don't have this intention, you won't count it after you write it. Forget it."
"Haha~" The empress smiled, raised her hand and stroked Dongfang Liren's back: "Okay, sister realizes her mistake, please calm down..."
Dongfang Liren had no way to deal with his sister, but treating her with such a smile seemed too clumsy. He stood up and touched his waist, took out a banknote and put it in the empress's hand:
"This is a greeting gift for you when you come in. After washing, remember to come over and offer tea. I'll go check out the Night Terror Hall first."
The empress naturally accepted the red envelope given by her sister happily and said:
"Ye Jingtang just wanted to run to say hello to you, but I held him back and refused to let him go. He is not in good health, so don't be harsh on him."
Dongfang Liren saw that his sister was protecting her husband and turned back in front of the door:
"He is my consort, why do I want to hurt him? You wash yours well."
After saying that, he walked out of the door and closed the sliding door.
Wow~——
After Dongfang Liren closed the door, his originally calm and confident face showed a bit of complexity. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then leaned against the door and listened. After making sure that his sister was not humming a tune complacently, he turned around. in the bedroom.
On the dragon bed, Ye Jingtang was still lying on the pillow, but one of his originally closed eyes was slightly opened. He looked at the bath and found Li Ren walking over, and then closed it again.
?!
Dongfang Liren's eyesight was fine again. When he saw this scene, his expression darkened again. He walked over and picked up the Chilong Knife on the desk.
"Eh?"
Ye Jingtang woke up immediately, turned over and sat up, trying to hold down Cunben's hand. As a result, he was a little disappointed after being tossed repeatedly. He fell back halfway and took a breath:
"hiss……"
Dongfang Liren originally wanted to scare Ye Jingtang, but when he saw this, his eyes were slightly frightened. He quickly put down the knife and came to support Ye Jingtang:
"What are you doing up here? I'm just holding the knife for a look, and I'm not planning to kill you, you pervert... What kind of injury did you get? Is it serious?"
When Ye Jingtang heard these fierce yet gentle words, he propped himself up and leaned against the bedside with a smile:
"It's not serious. It will be fine in a few days. I heard from Yuhu that His Highness was here just now..."
"Call Your Majesty!"
"I heard from the Holy One that His Highness came here just now. I woke up and wanted to go over and have a look..."
"okay."
Just by looking at Ye Jingtang's expression, Dongfang Liren knew that he was not in good health, so he didn't say anything harsh and just said:
"My body is like this, and my mind is wandering. It's really...she is not sensible and you are not sensible either? I will settle the score with you later..."
Seeing that Benben didn't beat him, Ye Jingtang felt a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and pulled her to sit in front of him, holding her in his arms:
"I went to Yanjing this time, sneaked into the palace and stole the sword 'Red Tiger', which is a famous soldier in Beiliang. Your Highness should have heard of it..."
Dongfang Liren originally wanted to keep a distance, but when he heard these words, he stopped again:
"Didn't you go to Yanjing to steal the Minglong Picture? Why did you steal the knife?"
"His Highness likes to collect famous soldiers. How could I not hold it when I see it? The Red Fox sword is well-deserved. The blade is as red as blood. Its quality is no worse than the Chilong sword, and it is beautiful..."
Dongfang Liren has been a martial artist since he was a child. He wishes he could hide among the famous soldiers in the world. When he saw the night terror, he ran to Yanjing. He did not forget to collect his favorite things for her. The majesty between his brows softened a bit and he looked around:
"Where's the knife?"
"Still in Beiliang."
"Um?!"
Dongfang Liren's gentle expression faded. If Ye Jingtang hadn't been in poor health, he might have been screwed.
Ye Jingtang said quickly: "It is in Ning'er's hands and will be brought back in a few days. His Highness will be absolutely satisfied after seeing it."
Dongfang Liren finally restrained his displeasure at being teased, thought about it and said doubtfully:
"Why don't Ning'er and the others come back with you?"
"Alas, when I was grabbing the elixir, I was caught up by Master Xiang Han. I was almost beaten to death, so I had to split up..."
Ye Jingtang saw Benben being curious, so he hugged Benben and talked about the dangerous experience of his trip to Beiliang.
After the empress washed the traces on her body in the bathroom, she wore Qi Laohu's silky nightgown and walked out from behind the screen barefoot. She poured a cup of tea first, then walked to the dragon bed, sat down sideways, and handed the tea cup to her.
To my sister:
"Come, drink tea."
Dongfang Liren originally wanted to pick it up, but when he took a quick look, he realized that what his sister was wearing was a bit outrageous.
Originally, the red skirt was very silky, and it completely showed the ups and downs of the body curve when it was attached to the body. It was also ridiculously short at the bottom. When you sit like this, your long and round legs are undoubtedly on display, and you can even see that you are not wearing anything underneath...
Dongfang Liren was stunned, and quickly pulled down her red skirt to block the spring light:
"What are you doing? Coming out without even wearing pants?"
The empress put the tea cup in Li Ren's hand and said confidently:
"I'm going to bed soon, what pants should I wear?"
sleep?
Dongfang Liren wanted to continue talking about her sister, but she immediately realized that something was wrong. She looked at her sister's clothes and then at Ye Jingtang, who was not wearing anything. She wanted to get up to avoid it, but leaving like this would be too arrogant.
.
So she turned her head and looked at the Night Terror Hall next to her:
"How can you continue to act like this?"
The Night Terror Hall actually felt a little unable to make ends meet, but looking at the two people with completely different temperaments but equally charming people, I was afraid that it would be a bit embarrassing to say no, so I sat up a little straighter:
"Of course I have no problem, I'm just worried that it will be inconvenient for His Highness..."
Dongfang Liren has already been in a five-person group, and she has seen the big waves, so how could she have stage fright. She originally missed the Night Terror Hall very much, and at this time, her sister was trying to steal her love. Maybe it was because of her imbalance in her heart, so she
Taking the teacup:
"You should go to bed early. I will have a chat with Night Terror Hall alone."
The empress had already had a taste of it first, so naturally she had to give way to her sister at this time, and depending on the situation in the Night Terror Hall, she might not be able to eat the reward together and carry it around, so she didn't say much and raised her hand to put down the curtain:
"You guys chat slowly, I'll hang out for a while."
With that said, he turned around and returned to the bathroom.
Seeing that the curtains in the Night Terror Hall were lowered and the atmosphere was in place, he naturally hugged Da Benben closer and wanted to pout.
Dongfang Liren had just walked in the door not long ago, and suddenly she felt more like a little farewell than a newlywed after being separated for many days. Her cheeks turned red after being hugged like this, but her expression was still quite serious:
"You are injured and you still want to act recklessly? Is your health okay? Can't you sleep honestly?"
Ye Jingtang actually wanted to sleep honestly, but Benben felt that he couldn't do it, so naturally he had to prove it. He hugged Benben and lay down flat on his back, and tapped on his red lips:
"How could I not be good at it? Your Highness doesn't know my physique? I'm as strong as a bull..."
Dongfang Liren bit his lower lip. Although he wanted to ignore Ye Jingtang for a few days because of his sister's matter, he couldn't bear it when he saw Ye Jingtang lying in bed. In the end, he still treated Ye Jingtang quite domineeringly.
Pressing it back, he turned over and pressed it on his chest:
"For the sake of your great contribution to the imperial court, I will not care about this with you. Just lie down and close your eyes."
Ye Jingtang felt that Benben was really considerate, so he didn't show off at the moment and just lay down and closed his eyes.
"snort."
Dongfang Liren first lifted up the curtain and looked at it. Seeing that his sister did not peek, and closed the bath door, he closed the curtain, untied the python skirt on his body, revealing the silver fat-headed dragon's clothes, and then lowered his head to the night.
In front of the shocked audience, the lips met...
