Jing Zhichen woke up on the third night. When he woke up, he saw Xu Xingyin lying on the bed, dozing off tiredly.

The palace was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. Xu Xingyin frowned slightly, as if he could not completely relax even in his sleep.

Jing Zhichen reached out and gently touched Xu Xingyin's cheek.

Her skin is so delicate and warm that it makes people feel pity for her.

Xu Xingyin was awakened by the slight touch. She raised her head and saw the pair of eyes that had once haunted her.

"Your Highness?"

There was a hint of surprise and excitement in Xu Xingyin's slightly hoarse voice. She subconsciously grabbed Jing Zhichen's hand and asked with concern.

"Are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Hearing the voice that still contained some tears, Jing Zhichen looked at her steadily, a hint of warmth flashed across his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to rub the top of Xu Xingyin's head.

"I'm fine. I made you worry. Sorry for waking you."

Xu Xingyin shook her head gently, letting the tears well up in her eyes, and pursed her lips and said, "As long as you wake up, I'll be at ease. By the way, I'll go call Mr. Huaigu in to take a look."

Having said that, Xu Xingyin stood up and was about to move.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she was restrained by a force.

When she turned around, she saw that it was Jing Zhichen who was holding her.

Jing Zhichen's gaze lingered gently on Xu Xingyin's face, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, then he moved closer to the bed and patted the empty space.

"Come up."

Xu Xingyin was a little confused, "Huh?"

Xu Xingyin was a little overwhelmed by this sudden invitation. Her cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes wandered around involuntarily.

"Wha...what?"

Jing Zhichen couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her like this. He reached out and held her hand, then pulled her into his arms.

"What is the princess thinking, huh?"

The drawn-out ending tone inexplicably carried a hint of lingering ambiguity, which made Xu Xingyin's face even redder. She struggled to get up, but Jing Zhichen's arms were like iron hoops, locking her tightly in his arms and making her unable to move.

"Your Highness!"

Xu Xingyin was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only call out in a coquettish manner.

This made Jing Zhichen smile meaningfully, and he deliberately lowered his head and whispered in Xu Xingyin's ear, "Okay, it's so late, don't disturb Huaigu, you should rest for a while, it won't be too late to go in the morning."

The deep and magnetic voice exploded in his ears, and Xu Xingyin's heartbeat quickened a bit. But after thinking about it, he decided not to refuse and followed Jing Zhichen's movements to lie down on the couch.

Jing Zhichen was indeed distressed by Xu Xingyin's dark circles under her eyes, so he held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

Feeling the warmth and breath coming from Jing Zhichen, Xu Xingyin felt inexplicably at ease. She slightly turned sideways and put her arms around Jing Zhichen's waist in a responsive gesture.

"Jiaojiao." He called softly.

"Hmm?" Xu Xingyin responded softly, with a hint of sleepiness in his voice.

"Thank you." Jing Zhichen said, "You have worked hard during this period."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyin opened his eyes slightly, looked at the handsome face so close to him, his heart moved, he raised his head, and reached out to hold Jing Zhichen's face.

"If you feel bad, you will be fine in the future. Jing Zhichen, gratitude is not just words, I want you to repay me with the rest of your life."

Jing Zhichen stared into Xu Xingyin's eyes with a smile, "For the rest of my life, everything I have will be at your disposal. If there is anything I don't have, just say the word and I'll get it for you."

Xu Xingyin still looked at Jing Zhichen with a burning gaze, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

Then she said, "I have always had bad luck, so I have never been greedy. In this life, all I want is Jing Zhichen, and that is enough."

Jing Zhichen's heart was instantly filled with the words "Only Jing Zhichen is enough". He smiled and hugged Xu Xingyin tightly.

"With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Looking at Jing Zhichen's jade-like profile, Xu Xingyin suddenly had bad thoughts. He raised his head and bit Jing Zhichen's chin, teasing him.

"Jing Zhichen, I love you, very much."

Jing Zhichen was unable to react for a moment when he heard the sweet voice. He didn't know whether he was shocked by the confession or stunned by the bite.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince distracted, Xu Xingyin smiled secretly with her hands covering her lips with amusement, but was caught by Jing Zhichen.

Jing Zhichen came back to his senses, leaned forward, and sealed Xu Xingyin's lips punitively.

After just a kiss, he gently held Xu Xingyin's naughty little hand and pulled her into his arms again.

"It's worth it to go through life and death and make us wiser."

"Nonsense." Xu Xingyin punched Jing Zhichen on the shoulder with a coquettish look, "I just think that things in the world are unpredictable, and we should live in the present, so that we will not have any regrets in our lives."

"it is good."

"What good?"

“Live in the present and live your life well.”

"Then what does your Highness think is a good day?"

"I have my father, my family, and you. If I were greedier, I would have another child."

Xu Xingyin blushed but still continued the conversation in a soft voice.

"Does Your Highness like boys or girls?"

"As long as it's Jiaojiao and mine, I like them all. If I were a little greedy, having both a son and a daughter would be the best."

"Your Highness is really greedy!"

"Fool, people's desire for happiness is always endless."

The night is as dark as water, and the moonlight shines through the half-open window, casting a silvery glow on the ground.

A breeze blew gently outside the window, causing the corners of the curtains to sway gently. The lights in the palace swayed, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet night.

Inside the bedroom, the two of them slept in each other's arms. In the huge palace, the only sound was the two people's shallow breathing.

The two of them slept in each other's arms until the first hint of dawn appeared in the sky.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the bedroom, Xu Xingyin rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up to see Jing Zhichen's face.

Only then did Xu Xingyin realize that she was still lying in Jing Zhichen's arms. She moved slightly and wanted to get up, but she felt a force holding her tightly.

"It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Jing Zhichen's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of laziness as if he had just woken up.

Xu Xingyin smiled gently and did not struggle anymore. Instead, she buried her head deeper into his arms, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but there were slight footsteps outside, followed by three regular knocks on the door.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess?"

Hearing Du Huaigu's voice, Xu Xingyin gently pushed Jing Zhichen away, sat up and spoke hurriedly.

"Mr. Huaigu, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he glared at Jing Zhichen again, "Your Highness, it's time to get up."
