Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

After finally changing the medicine, Hua Manman felt a sense of exhaustion as if he had escaped from the tiger's mouth.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, covered her hot cheeks, and after finishing her mood, she dragged her limp hands and feet and climbed out of bed.

"My lord, since the medicine has been changed, I won't disturb your rest. I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you another day."

But Li Ji said: "It's boring for me to be alone, so you can stay and talk with me."

How could Hua Manman, a wage earner, have the right to refuse when the boss assigns work tasks?

She quickly revealed a flattered expression.

"As long as the prince doesn't think the concubine is annoying, the concubine is willing to stay by the prince's side for the rest of her life."

Li Ji was satisfied with her performance and smiled slightly.

"as you wish."

In order to prevent the wound from opening again, Hua Manman had no choice but to return to the soft couch and continue lying on her stomach.

At first, she was still able to chat with King Zhao casually.

Later, I couldn't hold it anymore, and my eyelids sank a little bit.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Hua Manman had dinner with King Zhao.

King Zhao went to take a bath.

Siyun calls hot water and waits for Hua Ruren to scrub her body.

After washing well, Ruyun helped Hua Ruren lie down on the large bed in the inner room.

When Li Ji came back, he saw Hua Manman lying straight on the bed.

With the support of two attendants, Li Ji lay down on the bed.

He was not used to sharing a bed with other people.

But lying side by side with Hua Manman at this moment, he didn't feel the discomfort as expected.

He was even a little more at ease.

As soon as the attendants left, Hua Manman immediately sat up.

The oil lamp by the bed was still on.

Taking advantage of the dim light, she crawled out cautiously.

Li Ji asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Hua Manman replied truthfully: "I am going to sleep on the bamboo couch outside."

Li Ji stared at her and asked: "You don't sleep on a good bed, what kind of bamboo couch do you sleep on?"

Hua Manman whispered.

"Isn't it because you dislike my concubine and don't want my concubine to sleep with you?"

Li Ji choked.

Hua Manman still has to climb outside.

Li Ji held her wrist, with a bit of impatience in his voice.

"It's so late, what are you fussing about? Just sleep like this."

Hua Manman was astonished.

Didn't this dog man drive her out of the room with a look of disgust before?

Why did you suddenly change sex tonight?

Hearing her heartfelt voice, Li Ji felt a little uncomfortable, but there was still no expression on his face.

he asked sullenly.

"Are you still asleep or not?"

Hua Manman had no choice but to lie back resentfully.

Li Ji patiently helped her cover the quilt.

Seeing that the woman was still staring at him, he frowned.

"Close your eyes and sleep!"

Hua Manman didn't know why he suddenly became so fierce, but she didn't dare to ask anything, didn't dare to say anything, so she could just close her eyes and sleep.

Her sleep quality was still as good as ever, and she soon fell asleep.

Li Ji originally had his eyes closed.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, turned his face sideways, and silently stared at the woman beside him.

This woman likes to open her lips slightly when she sleeps, a strand of long hair sticks to her cheek and falls into her skirt.

Probably because it was uncomfortable to sleep on her stomach, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her small nose would occasionally move slightly.

Like a little rabbit sleeping next to a ferocious beast, white and soft, without the slightest defense.

Li Ji stretched out his hand, and lightly brushed her neck with his cold white fingertips.

The slender and fragile neck seemed to be broken with just a little force from him.

He told himself silently in his heart that she was different from those who wanted his life, and she would not hurt him.

He could try to trust her.

The fingertips stayed on the back of Huamanman's neck for a while, and finally moved away. It moved to the top of Huamanman's cheeks, curling up the long strand of hair.

The strands of hair were pulled out from under the placket.

Li Ji pinched the strand of hair, put it on the tip of his nose, and smelled it gently.

Li Ji had a dream tonight.

He dreamed that he was back to five years ago.

On the battlefield where corpses are everywhere, surrounded by overwhelming shouts of killing, the world seems to be dyed bloody, scarlet.

Lord Zhen Guo was soaked in blood, with disheveled hair, and said while panting.

"You must go back alive, you must live!"

Li Ji, who was only twelve years old, held onto his arm tightly, refusing to let go, with tears all over his face.

"I'm not going, Dad, I'm not going!"

Zhen Guogong broke his fingers apart one by one with all his strength, his eye sockets were congested and frighteningly red.

"Remember, don't trust anyone after you go back, you can only trust yourself!"

"You can't trust anyone but yourself!"

"You can only trust yourself!"

...

The last sentence kept lingering in Li Ji's mind.

When he opened his eyes and woke up from the dream, his thoughts were still immersed in the scene in the dream, and he could not return to his senses for a long time.

Until a soft female voice sounded beside her——

"My lord, you are awake."

Only then did Li Ji fully wake up.

He turned his head to look at the woman lying beside him, his gaze stayed on her little dazed face for a moment, and he responded in a low voice.

"Um."

His father told him not to trust anyone.

But he couldn't help but want to write a letter once.

The oil lamp by the bed has been burned out, and the morning light spills in through the thin window paper, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet bedroom.

Hua Manman didn't think of it so early.

But as a migrant worker, she is not qualified to sleep late.

She can only bear the pain to be separated from her beloved quilt, and devote herself to the busy work of a new day.

She couldn't help feeling that it was too cold outside, the bed was too warm, life was too tiring, and dreaming was too refreshing.

When Li Ji heard her voice, most of the heavy emotions that had been entrenched in his heart dissipated immediately.

He involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

While the two were having breakfast, Jinxiu walked in and reported to Zhao Wanghui respectfully.

"The sage summoned Hua Jieyu last night."

Her voice was not too low, Hua Manman also heard this sentence, and couldn't help but pause while eating.

Li Ji looked at Hua Manman, and said with a half-smile.

"It seems that your sister has already thought about it."

Although the emperor has no integrity, he also has the pride of being an emperor. He has always disdained to force others. If Hua Qingqing hadn't taken the initiative to give a hint, he would not have called her to sleep with her.

Hua Manman didn't quite understand, Hua Qingqing was obviously unwilling to serve the emperor, why did she suddenly change her mind?

Did something happen that she didn't know about?

Li Ji heard her voice and said leisurely.

"People are subject to change. Water flows to low places and people go to high places. This is human nature."

Hua Manman asked cautiously: "Does the lord know something?"

Li Ji: "You guess."

I guess you are a big-headed ghost! Hua Manman directly skipped this topic and asked another question instead.

"About Hua Jieyu being plotted against, have you found out anything?"
