Xiao Chengyou hesitated for a long time, he was afraid that he would offend her, after all, before last night, he had never really had a relationship with Xu Lingyi.

Even though she is now his woman in name, he has not really accepted her.

In his mind before, the two of them would only be strangers in the future.

But last night's accident changed everything.

"I don't want to offend you by cleaning me up for you."

Xiao Chengyou lowered his eyes.

"You didn't say anything, so Gu will take it as your consent."

He told himself that he had already seen what he needed to see, and that he really should clean it up for her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengyou finally picked her up by the waist and put her in the wooden barrel.

Seeing that Xu Lingyi was still awake, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If she woke up, it would be very awkward for the two of them to look at each other.

Xiao Chengyou closed his eyes, but the soft touch of his hands still made it difficult for him to ignore.

He once again thought of the memories that had been tightly sealed in his mind.

Although he was drugged last night and his mind was a little blurred, he still remembered clearly.

Those experiences that he had never had before were even more unforgettable for him.

Xiao Chengyou's breathing became short of breath, he hurriedly washed Xu Lingyi, wrapped her in a layer of clothes, and carried her back to her own residence.

This is also the first time Xiao Chengyou has walked to the side hall.

As soon as he came in, he smelled a fresh fragrance. There were several wild flowers in Xu Lingyi's room.

The decoration of flowers and plants made her place more alive than the place where he lived.

Just like her.

When Xu Lingyi woke up again, she found her in her room.

A strong sense of hunger hit her, and it seemed that she had slept for a long time.

Realizing that her body was being cleaned, Xu Lingyi secretly curled her lips, Xiao Chengyou still had a conscience.

When she stood up on the bed, she found that her hands and feet were still weak.

As soon as Xu Lingyi walked out of the hall, she saw Xiao Chengyou head-on.

Xiao Chengyou saw her sideways face slightly, the tips of her ears were red.

"you're awake?"

"Yeah." Xu Lingyi nodded slightly.

An awkward atmosphere spread between the two, Xiao Chengyou seemed a little afraid to face her.

Xiao Chengyou lowered his eyes, and after hesitating, he still said, "If you're hungry, go and cook some porridge."

He only knows this, and he can barely fill his stomach.

Xu Lingyi thought of the pasty porridge last time, the taste was really not flattering.

She shook her head slightly, and said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, let me do it. The cooking skills of the servant girl are not good enough."

"Are you in good health?" Xiao Chengyou still asked.

Xu Lingyi's ears were slightly red. She lowered her head and kept silent, just walking towards the kitchen.

The delicate atmosphere between the two lasted for several days, and they seldom spoke, but some years were inexplicably quiet.

Xiao Chengyou was no longer the same as before. Although he didn't like her, he didn't have the grudges and defenses he had before.

The two can now communicate normally.

"The last time His Highness visited the empress, how is the empress?"

Xu Lingyi is more concerned about the queen.

She guessed in her heart that the relationship between the queen and the emperor should determine whether Xiao Chengyou can be successfully reset.

The empress of the previous life finally passed away.

Now the queen is not dead yet, and Xiao Chengyou is not as vicious as the last time she saw in her previous life.

Xu Lingyi felt that it was better for him like this.

"The queen mother fell ill and lost a lot of weight."

When talking about the queen, Xiao Chengyou frowned and did not speak for a long time.

"Your Highness, the empress is a lucky woman, so you...don't worry too much."

Xiao Chengyou was silent for a long time, "The last time I was able to see my mother was because she didn't want to take medicine, just to see me, so Your Majesty let go."

Seeing Xu Lingyi's brow furrowed tightly, Xiao Chengyou said again: "The queen mother has promised Gu that she will take medicine well, so you don't have to worry."

"That's good."

Xu Lingyi nodded on the face, but she thought a lot in her heart.

I don't know if the queen's body will decline from now on, or later.

With Xiao Chengyou's appearance, it seemed that the Queen's illness was not too serious.

Or is it that the queen is hiding it from him.

It's a pity that Xu Lingyi didn't have much contact with the identity of the royal family in her previous life, and what she knew was limited.

----

"Your Highness, let's get rid of the weeds here today. I want to open another field here, and we can plant a little more."

"Row."

Xiao Chengyou was unwilling to do this at first, he just wanted to lie in his room every day.

But Xu Lingyi has been busy up and down, non-stop.

Xiao Chengyou could accept it with peace of mind in the past when cooking meals and delivering them to him every day, doing laundry and growing vegetables.

But now that she was his woman, he felt uncomfortable watching her do this by herself.

Conscience condemned him, but Xiao Chengyou had no choice but to help.

Slowly grow and water vegetables with Xu Lingyi every day.

The days were no longer as gloomy and dreary as before, and he was willing to come out of the room.

"Your Highness, can't this kind of vegetable be grown like this?" Xu Lingyi quickly leaned over to stop his hand.

"Let me do it, Your Highness can follow me."

These rapeseeds were obtained by Xu Lingyi with the help of the guards from the jewelry on her body, and they are still quite precious to them now.

"Have you ever grown vegetables in Xu's house?"

Xiao Chengyou was a little curious. She was also good at cooking and some chores.

Those who are skilled are not like the official lady, but like a maid.

Xu Lingyi nodded.

"Perhaps you are not Miss Xu's family? You are just a maid of Xu's family who came to the Prince's Mansion in place of your lady."

In fact, Xiao Chengyou hoped this was the case, so that she would have nothing to do with the Xu family.

Xu Lingyi shook her head, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Your Highness, what are you thinking? How could the Xu family give you a maid? If it is discovered in the future, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"My father is very scheming and will not leave anyone with any clues."

Xiao Chengyou knew it was impossible.

"Then why are you so skilled at doing these things?"

"When I was young, I lived with my mother in my hometown. The family was poor. In order to survive, we not only grew vegetables but also rice..."

Xu Lingyi recalled.

"At that time, my father had already married the princess in the capital."

My hometown is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the traffic is blocked, so Father Xu can hide anything he wants.

If their mother and daughter hadn't gone to the capital, they wouldn't even know that Father Xu married someone else in their entire life.

"Your Highness, you can listen to it as a joke. The courtiers can't guarantee the truth, so don't take it seriously."

Xu Lingyi smiled slightly.

Xiao Chengyou could see sadness from her expression.

She thought he didn't believe it, so she told him this.

If it was before, he would not have believed it.

But during this period of getting along with her, he can also understand something about her.

Xu Baozhu's attitude towards her last time also showed that her life in the Xu family was indeed difficult.

He also said that he wanted to separate her from the Xu family.

"Guxin, you are different from the Xu family. If there is a chance in the future, we will take your mother out of the Xu family."

Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned.
