"He should be fine, he is just too tired. You don't know how hard he worked just now. His current strength is not enough to activate the spiritual stone, but in order to let you see the sky and water, he overexhausted his spiritual power.
and physical strength, and even almost cost my life, I was scared just looking at it."
The little girl standing nearby said to Bing Ningxue with envy and lingering fear.
Bing Ningxue clenched her fist tightly and looked at Cheng Ziyuan, as if she wanted to carve him into her soul forever.
…
In the lounge, Cheng Ziyuan finally opened his eyes, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt extremely tired and sore, as if he had been beaten violently while sleeping.
Then, he found that he was actually in the arms of a woman. At this moment, Bing Ningxue was holding him tenderly. Seeing Cheng Ziyuan wake up, Bing Ningxue smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness.
This, am I dreaming?
Cheng Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, because the current situation usually only appeared in dreams.
Moreover, he now wanted to boldly grab Bing Ningxue's two buns to see if it was a dream, but he felt that this dream was a bit real, so he did not dare to be so presumptuous and could only reluctantly get up.
After shaking his head, his mind cleared up a little. Then he was shocked to realize that this was not a dream, and he was really being held in Bing Ningxue's arms.
For a moment, Cheng Ziyuan's emotions were quite complicated. If Bing Ningxue hadn't been someone else's wife, he might have been in her arms just now.
"How long have I slept?"
Cheng Ziyuan rubbed his forehead and asked with a headache.
Bing Ningxue replied a little shyly,
"Almost three hours."
Cheng Ziyuan continued to rub his head. He suddenly remembered something. He looked at Bing Ningxue and asked quickly:
"Um, did you see Tianshui Isshiki? I passed out in the research institute at that time, so I don't know if Tianshui Isshiki was activated outside."
He doesn't know what Tianshui Yise is like, and he doesn't know if Tianshui Yise will really open up if he acts like this inside.
If it was turned on, did Bing Ningxue see it? If she didn't see it, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?
Hearing what he said, Bing Ningxue stared at Cheng Ziyuan closely, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
"I saw it. It's very beautiful. It's very nostalgic. I like it very much."
Bing Ningxue's eyes gradually became fanatical as she looked at Cheng Ziyuan, wishing she could rush over to him and throw herself into his arms, and tell him how passionate she was about her love for him.
Bing Ningxue paused, but she still took a deep breath and suppressed her violent emotions. She breathed a sigh of relief. She almost couldn't control herself and rushed over to talk to Cheng Ziyuan just now.
She knew that she couldn't do this, because if she did this, she would not only harm herself, but also Cheng Ziyuan and A Niang. Perhaps the entire Bing Ningxue would pay for her willfulness.
Thinking of this, Bing Ningxue felt very sad. It was the first time in her life that she fell in love with a man. She fell in love so much that it hurt her heart, but she couldn't be with him at all. She couldn't even talk to him in the name of a friend.
Disaster.
But thinking about what Cheng Ziyuan did for her today, she felt very satisfied.
"That's good."
Cheng Ziyuan took a breath, it would be nonsense if Bing Ningxue didn't see Tian Shui Yise, but then he thought about it and said:
"Is there anything else you want to visit? If there is, we will visit it again. If not, it's almost time for us to return to the empire."
"No, Cheng Ziyuan, thank you, thank you very much."
Bing Ningxue smiled softly and looked at Cheng Ziyuan seriously.
Cheng Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, but he still smiled and said:
"Why are you thanking me? Isn't this what I should do? As long as you are happy."
When he said these words, he felt extremely sad. Just be happy. I'm afraid Bing Ningxue has never been happy in her life. She has been living under Long Yu's invisible oppression. How can she be happy?
.
If what he did for her today could make her happy, then he would be satisfied.
The two left the Giant Tree Kingdom and returned to the empire. However, when they came outside the gate of the imperial capital, Bing Ningxue said to Cheng Ziyuan:
"You'd better go back to the southern border directly."
Cheng Ziyuan was stunned for a moment and said:
"We are already at the city gate. We are only a few steps away from the palace. Let me take you back by the way."
But Bing Ningxue said seriously:
"Just listen to me once. If Long Yu sees me coming back with you, he will be suspicious and angry at others."
Cheng Ziyuan sighed after hearing what she said.
Also, he just saved Bing Ningxue before, but Long Yu actually brought him to the empire and used various methods to put him under house arrest.
This time he rescued Bing Ningxue again, and Long Yu might have become more suspicious of him. But if this continues, it won't be enough. Cheng Ziyuan could only say helplessly:
"Okay, then go in and be careful."
Bing Ningxue hummed softly, and then walked into the city. Not long after entering the city, someone came to pick her up. Cheng Zi looked at her back from afar, sighed heavily, and then turned and left.
.
Hearing that Bing Ningxue had successfully returned to the palace, Long Yu quickly ended the court meeting and rushed to Suo Qingqiu Palace to visit Bing Ningxue in a hurry.
"Queen, I heard that you were almost arrested by Cao Cao again. Are you okay?"
As soon as Long Yu entered the door, he shouted nervously into the room.
Bing Ningxue was sitting in front of the dressing table putting on makeup. She stood up, looked at Long Yu with a calm expression and said:
"It's okay. It was General Zhennan who held Cao Cao and the others off for me that day, so I was not captured by them."
