Chapter 12
Gu Suian was a little sleepy after eating, maybe the medicines for wind and cold contained calming ingredients.

But Xiao Jiu just felt... that's how pigs are raised.

In the long silent night, not a single sound could be heard around.

"Sui Shi..."

"Sui Sui, come back."

Sui An woke up suddenly, the candlelight illuminated the deep palace hall, and the maid kneeling beside her holding the lamp cast a long shadow by the candlelight.

"Why did the princess wake up? Is the candle too bright? Let me put out two more candles."

Seeing that Sui'an was safe, Magpie turned around and prepared to extinguish two more candles.I actually forgot to keep the maid holding the lamp away.It's so bright, how can the princess sleep well?

Gu Suian felt a slight chill on his face, and wiped his cheeks lightly, tears?what am i crying for...

I can't remember clearly what happened in the dream, but the fine beads of sweat on my forehead and the cool tears on my face prove the existence of the dream.

The palace of Gu Chaoyan's bedroom was resplendent and magnificent, but it was eerily silent. A wind blew by for a moment, leaving only the shadows of countless lights swaying in this deep palace hall.

I do not like this place faintly in my heart, and feel the silence is terrible.

"No, brighter light won't hinder my sleep."

Looking at the jumping lights, he saw Yuan Xing was still there. Could it be that Gu Chaoyan hasn't finished handling government affairs yet?
"Magpie, what time is it?"

Magpie glanced out of the window and responded in a low voice:
"It's already midnight, is Your Highness hungry?"

"I'm not hungry."

The magpie knelt by her bed, held a cup of warm water, and handed her a cup of warm water to moisten her throat:
"Then His Highness, let's go to sleep, it's still early."

Gu Suian woke up from the dream with no appetite and no sleepiness.

Rubbing her swollen temples, Xiao Jiu didn't bother herself, does the system need to sleep?

"Yuan Xing, come here."

Yuan Xing doesn't look very old, and looks a little delicate.In addition to being by Gu Chaoyan's side for a long time, her ability to perceive words and emotions is superb, and she is also very imposing in the palace on weekdays.

At least he took care of the affairs in the palace well, and also avoided Gu Chaoyan's worries.

"What orders does Her Royal Highness have?"

"Why are you still here, why didn't you take care of Ah Yan?"

Gu Suian didn't realize it, but A Yan blurted out this sentence, as if he had called it many times.

"Your Majesty is still in the imperial study and hasn't rested yet, so the slave will stay with the eldest princess first."

"Haven't you rested yet? It's this hour, so what time does he go to morning on weekdays?"

Yuan Xing sighed secretly, although his Majesty may be a little unkind and cruel in his actions.

But if this is not the case, how can he, a young emperor, be able to restrain these humerus veterans.

"Back to Your Royal Highness, it's four quarters of Yin time."

Gu Suian frowned slightly, secretly counting the time in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu was really right. At least he can be sure that Gu Chaoyan is a diligent emperor. As for the love of the people, it still needs to be investigated.

"Then how many hours does he sleep every day?"

"Yes."

Yuan Xing sometimes sees his Majesty staying up all night, so he dares to persuade him.But when Gu Chaoyan raised his eyes and glanced over, he shuddered.

"Go back and take care of Ah Yan, let him rest early."

"The slave retire."

"Wait a moment……"

Gu Suian felt a little embarrassed, but was very curious, and asked after a while:
"Yuan Xing, do you know what A Yan likes to eat?"

Yuan Xing thought she wanted to know about Gu Chaoyan's preferences.

Seeing him lowering his eyebrows, he thought it might be a bit embarrassing.

"If it's embarrassing, forget it, I'll just ask casually."

"It's not embarrassing, it's because the servant really doesn't know."

Yuan Xing didn't lie, perhaps spying on the emperor's preferences to outsiders was a capital offense, but if he told His Royal Highness, it would not be a big deal.

But Gu Chaoyan has always kept his emotions and anger secret, and kept his mind secret, so Yuan Xing really didn't know.

Sui An just finds it incredible:

"Then how come you cooperate so well with him when serving dishes in the evening?"

Yuan Xing smiled slightly. It turned out that the princess was curious about this. It seemed that Her Royal Highness was unhappy at night, and so was His Majesty himself. He was definitely like a child.

His Majesty was a picky eater when he was a child. At that time, the Eldest Princess always threatened or tempted him by taking him out to play, not allowing him to be picky eaters.

"The slave doesn't know what His Majesty likes to eat, but according to the rules, no more than three mouthfuls of each dish can be eaten, and the cloth dishes are also random."

Sui An didn't believe that Gu Chaoyan's temperament was uncertain, and he didn't believe that he could bear it, so he even opened the imperial dining room.

No, they chopped up the imperial dining room.

"Huh? This... isn't he angry?"

"This is a rule, and it is also to prevent others from knowing the emperor's liking, lest someone take the opportunity to poison."

Gu Suian suddenly felt that Gu Chaoyan, the emperor, did something pitiful.When you get something you like, you can't express your joy; when you get something you don't like, you have to swallow it with the same expression.

"Then you go back first, His Highness is going to rest too."

"The slave retire."

When Yuan Xing returned to the imperial study room, the imperial study room was brightly lit.The book case is full of memorials and military affairs urgently sent from the border eight hundred miles away.

Gu Chaoyan had already taken off his dragon robe and put on clean and tidy pajamas.Lying halfway on the soft couch, facing the candlelight and narrowing her phoenix eyes, she carefully looked at the memorial in her hand.

"She's asleep?"

Yuan Xing knew who Gu Chaoyan was talking about, so he lowered his eyes and cupped his hands:

"Perhaps the place was changed, and Her Royal Highness didn't sleep well. It seemed like she had a nightmare just now, and she woke up with a start."

I thought Gu Chaoyan would care about something, but the air seemed to be still, and Yuanxing didn't hear his response after a long time.

"The princess just said to let His Majesty rest early, so as not to overwhelm the body." The princess is still very concerned about His Majesty.

Of course, Yuan Xing lowered his eyes and didn't say the second half of the sentence. After all, it's better to stop this kind of thing.

Looking up slightly, he found that His Majesty began to look at the memorial in his hand seriously again, except for the slightly paused tip of the pen, there seemed to be no difference.
