Tears dripped down his chin to the ground, right? Did Beigong Tengxiao hate Hua Yuejin because of her? Is this really the only amount of weight she has in his heart...
After a while, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, tried her best to blink away the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, calmed down, and returned to Muyang Palace.
Glancing at Beigong Tengxiao's bedroom, he saw that it was still brightly lit.
She lowered her head and looked at the cloak she was wearing, then walked straight to the door, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
After finishing her words, Chu Jiaoli pushed the door open and saw Beigong Tengxiao sitting in front of the desk reading a book.
She quietly approached, took off her cloak, put it on Beigong Tengxiao, and said: "Your Highness, the night is already deep."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "How come the cross-examination was completed so quickly?"
Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness and Jinglan have already finished asking, and the truth has been revealed. I only said a few words to her, and she got the punishment she deserved. It was a long night, she was too noisy, and I didn't want to
Spend more time with her."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao's eyes contained a faint smile and said: "Oh? You mean, you want to be with me tonight?"
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, bit her lip, and said: "I have already done what His Highness asked me to do. I just came to return the cloak. As for whether Your Highness has any other instructions... I don't have any other instructions."
Dare to speculate on your own."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyes to look at her, then raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand to caress her eyes, and said, "Why are your eyes so red? Did Hua Yuejin bully you?"
Chu Jiaoli was startled, and she immediately took a step back, lowered her head, and dodges her eyes slightly, saying, "No, it's because it's windy outside."
Beigong Tengxiao nodded, raised the corners of his lips slightly, raised the book in front of her, and said: "Take it, read it to me, and when I fall asleep, you can go back to the house to sleep."
"Yes." After saying this, Beigong Tengxiao walked towards the bed.
A quarter of an hour later, Beigong Tengxiao's breathing gradually stabilized. Chu Jiaoli observed carefully, her reading voice gradually became quieter, and then she slowly closed the book.
She quietly left her chair and sat on the steps, looking at Beigong Tengxiao who was sleeping. After a long time, her eyes became moist.
She raised her hand to touch his face, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she hesitated for a moment and then took her hand back.
Looking at his delicate eyebrows, she smiled slightly sadly.
How good it is for him to be like this, without any worries or worries, just living so happily.
It's just that this time is different from the past. She is not his beloved concubine. She can only look at him so lustfully when he falls asleep.
She gently rested her head on her elbow, as if as long as she looked at him quietly, all her worries would disappear, and Hua Yuejin's taunting would become irrelevant.
The candle on the table burned slowly, and the wax tears continued to drip. I don't know how long it took, Chu Jiaoli slowly closed her tired eyes, and her breathing gradually became steady.
Half an hour later.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly, a cold touch slipped across his palm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the candlelight had not been extinguished.
He was about to get up, but he saw that Chu Jiaoli was already asleep beside his bed, and she grabbed his hand at some point.
He was stunned for a long time, slowly sat up, and wanted to withdraw his hand. Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, clasped his hand tighter, then turned his head, and pressed his hand under her cheek.
.
Her hands were cold and her cheeks were also cold, so she subconsciously held his hand, probably to keep it warm.
After thinking about it, he felt that the girl's body began to tremble slightly, and he immediately frowned. This was more revealing. She was really careless. What if she caught a cold...
He stretched out his other hand to wake her up. Seeing that she was very sleepy and it would definitely end in embarrassment if she woke up, he paused slightly and touched her sleeping point, but she still held her hand tightly.
.
He exhaled softly, got up and got off the bed, carried the girl to the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her firmly grasped hand, Beigong Tengxiao stared at it for a long time. For some reason, he subconsciously stretched out his other hand to hold the back of her hand and warmed her hand.
It wasn't until Chu Jiaoli's hand gradually warmed up that she slowly relaxed her grip, turned around and curled up in the warm bed.
Beigong Tengxiao looked at her sleeping face, smiled softly, untied the sleeping hole, stood up and left.
"Li'er will be obedient in the future..."
Beigong Tengxiao froze on the spot, his hand was grabbed by her again.
He listened to her vague words, turned his head and said, "What did you say?"
"Don't... don't look for Hua Yuejin..." Chu Jiaoli frowned, her face full of sadness, and her voice was actually stained with a cry.
Seeing this, Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly.
Hua Yuejin's hands and feet were tied and he couldn't touch her, but he must have said something to hurt her.
He carefully picked up Chu Jiaoli's hand, helped her put it back into the quilt, and left.
The next day.
Chu Jiaoli slowly opened her eyes, and her palms felt uncomfortable and slightly dry.
She frowned slightly, shook hands, and glanced down at the warm bed.
On the luxurious silk quilt, the patterns of clouds and green pine are outlined with exquisite gold threads. How can this be a maid's quilt?
She sat up suddenly. Next to the bed was a burning stove, and she could vaguely see that the charcoal inside was still dark.
She swallowed, lifted the quilt, and found that her clothes were intact.
She looked at the right arm of Shu Gongsha again, and it was still intact.
Even so, she was still extremely upset.
She just sat for a while last night, why did she fall asleep on his bed? She was so careless...
But even if she fell asleep beside her, she had no memory of running into bed...
She sat up and saw the dazzling sunshine outside the window, feeling a little uneasy inside.
Looking at the scratches on the table, she was suddenly shocked. It was already midnight, and Beigong Tengxiao had even finished attending the morning court.
She hugged her knees nervously and bit her fingernails in confusion.
It's over, it's over, what should we do...
If Beigong Tengxiao forced her to stay overnight, it wouldn't be her fault, but now isn't it her own initiative to throw herself into his arms?
With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open, and most of the sunlight came in.
Chu Jiaoli's eyes were slightly uncomfortable, and she subconsciously covered them with her hands. Then she glanced at the tall figure through her fingers. She was startled and her eyes widened in an instant.
Beigong Tengxiao had changed from solemn court clothes to black casual clothes. He walked to the bed and looked at the bewildered girl. His narrow phoenix eyes were sparkling with a hint of teasing. He raised his hand to lift her chin.
He nodded, looked at her dull face, and whispered: "How long are you going to stay in bed?"
She swallowed and suddenly felt ashamed. She bit her lip in embarrassment and quickly turned over and got off the bed.
