After the emperor left, most of the ministers walking behind him had happy expressions on their faces, but some others had different expressions.

Su Nanxing walked up to Su Heng and asked, "Father, didn't you say that Su Lingyue would definitely die this time? What's going on?"

Su Heng said coldly: "Do you think your father wants them to live?"

After saying this coldly, Su Heng left the front yard.

There was uncontrollable joy on Xiao Changshi's face. He wanted to go up and talk to Su Lingyue, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally caught up with the emperor, completely forgetting about Su Nanxing who was standing beside him.

Looking at Su Lingyue holding Xiao Yu's hand and speaking gently, the flames of hatred in Su Nanxing's almond-shaped eyes grew stronger and stronger under the veil, and she wished she could eat Su Lingyue alive.

Xiao Changan looked at Su Nanxing standing there, twisting her handkerchief with both hands, and walked a few steps closer, teasing, "I don't know what the Crown Princess is looking at. She is so absent-minded that the handkerchief is about to be torn!"

Su Nanxing suddenly came back to her senses, glanced at Xiao Changan, and mocked him, "Are you happy?"

Xiao Changan's expression turned slightly cold for a moment, then he returned to normal and said calmly, "Why should I be unhappy?"

Su Nanxing chuckled and said proudly, "Look at how affectionate those two are. They are so loving. Doesn't King Jing have any thoughts?"

Xiao Changan still looked calm, "Crown Princess, you are joking. What does this have to do with me?"

Su Nanxing's scrutinizing eyes passed through the veil of the hat and fell on Xiao Changan's stern face. She chuckled and said, "I know you like my sister. How about I give her to you?"

Xiao Changan glanced at Su Nanxing with a frivolous smile in his eyes, and asked puzzledly, "I wonder how the Crown Princess gave her to me?"

Seeing Xiao Changan's reaction, Su Nanxing's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and she said with a smile: "Prince Jing, just wait, she will become yours in the next few days!"

"Okay, I'll wait." Xiao Changan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

After Su Nanxing left, Xiao Changan glanced at the two people who were talking intimately in the yard, turned around and left with a cold face.

"That was so scary just now! Is this how the morning court is held?" Su Lingyue asked curiously.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Almost. Sometimes it's even more intense than this."

"Fortunately, you don't have to go to court." Su Lingyue held Xiao Yu's hand and covered his hand as she spoke.

"Let's go in quickly. It's too cold here. You can't warm your hands no matter how hard you try!" She rubbed Xiao Yu's hands and said with a frown.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Under the cover of night, the sad mood is lost in the darkness.

He Wen and He Zhang, who were standing by, were applying medicine on Master He's forehead. The spot that had just hit the ground had turned purple.

Xiao Yu pulled Su Lingyue to the side of Master He and asked, "How is Master He? Is he feeling unwell?"

Master He nodded gently and said, "I am in good health. If we can really remove the secret guards from the court this time, it will be a relief for me. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You're welcome, Master! We are all doing this for our old friend!" Xiao Yu said with a chuckle.

Master He nodded, shook his head, seemed to be thinking about something, and then murmured: "This way, I won't be completely embarrassed when I see them in the future."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, and after a moment, he said, "It's getting late, General He, please help the Master in!"

The emperor and concubines lived on the second floor of the palace, Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu lived on the first floor, Xiao Changshi and Su Nanxing were also there, as well as Xiao Changan.

There were just several rooms in the middle, which were reserved for the palace maids and guards who served closely.

Perhaps in order to welcome the emperor, all the rooms were renovated. Although not as good as the royal palace, they were barely habitable.

There is also a partition in the master bedroom for bathing, which Su Lingyue is very satisfied with.

After returning to the room, Caidie Caiyi went to the dining hall and brought back a few dishes of vegetarian food and porridge.

After a simple meal, Su Lingyue asked the temple to boil some mugwort water for Xiao Yu to bathe.

Su Lingyue reached her hand into the bathtub and wiped it. The water temperature was just right, so she asked Xiao Yu to take a bath.

Xiao Yu walked into the compartment, took Su Lingyue's hand, raised an eyebrow and said, "Does Yue'er want to come with us?"

Speaking of bathing together, Su Lingyue thought of what happened last time, her face instantly flushed, she lowered her eyes and shook her head, "You wash first, I'm not in a hurry."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Yu did not force her anymore. He just pulled her hand and put it on the belt, lowered his head and coaxed her softly: "If you don't want to join me, then help me undress!"

Su Lingyue raised her eyes, wanting to refuse, but when she saw those ink-black smiling eyes and that handsome face, she swallowed her saliva for some unknown reason and nodded in agreement.

By the time she reacted, her hands seemed to have their own consciousness and had already untied her belt.

Putting the belt on the hanger, Su Lingyue made up her mind and began to untie her robe.

I don't hate it anyway.

Xiao Yu kept looking at her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

After taking off the shirt, when I saw the strong chest, my head got hot and my hands were on the belt around his waist, but I couldn't make any move.

"This...this you...do it yourself." Su Lingyue pinched her hot earlobe and ran out of the cubicle.

After waiting for a while and hearing the sound of water entering, Su Lingyue walked into the compartment again.

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Yue'er wants to come together?"

Su Lingyue lowered her eyes and whispered, "No, I'm massaging your acupuncture points. It's good for your body."

Xiao Yu sighed with a little disappointment: "Thank you for your hard work, Yue'er."

Su Lingyue tied up her long sleeves with a drawstring and said with a red face: "Move forward a little, the acupuncture point is on the back."

Xiao Yu leaned forward slightly, Su Lingyue wet his hands with hot water and began to look for acupoints on his back.

"Is the strength enough?" Su Lingyue asked after pressing a few times.

Xiao Yu chuckled and replied, "It's very soft and comfortable."

"what?"

"your hands."

……

Su Lingyue ignored Xiao Yu's teasing and began to concentrate on the massage.

Xiao Yu's back, like his chest, also had many wounds, including arrow wounds and knife wounds.

Seeing the crisscrossing scars, Su Lingyue felt very distressed, and she would be gentler when pressing on the injured areas.

"Won't you be afraid on the battlefield?" Su Lingyue asked Xiao Yu while pressing him.

"There were some in the beginning, but later we got familiar with each other. War is just like that. In addition to fighting, you also have to deploy troops and formations. They are no match for me!" Xiao Yu said lightly, and his tone unconsciously became much lighter as he spoke later.

"I have never seen a war, but I can imagine it. When I was nine years old, I saw you from afar on the street. At that time, you returned victoriously, riding on a black horse, wearing armor and smiling warmly."

"Really? Why didn't I see you?"

"I was too short at the time, squeezed in the crowd, I could only see a few seconds, and then was pushed away."

Xiao Yu was silent.

Su Lingyue didn't say anything more. It seemed that he still didn't want to talk more.

Although she really wanted to understand Xiao Yu, if Xiao Yu didn't want to recall, she wouldn't force him.

After massaging the back, Su Lingyue's hands gradually moved upwards and began to massage the shoulders.

After just pressing it twice, Su Lingyue felt something was wrong with the skin under her hand.

"What is this?" She lowered her head and took a closer look, and couldn't help frowning. "Why are there teeth marks on your shoulder? Do enemies bite with their teeth during a war?"

Xiao Yu chuckled, "It wasn't an enemy who bit him, it was a woman who bit him."

"Woman? Who!" Su Lingyue didn't notice that there was questioning and anger in her tone.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "A very beautiful woman."

Su Lingyue frowned and asked unhappily, "How beautiful is she? Is she as beautiful as me?"

"Well, she is the most beautiful woman in the world." Xiao Yu said playfully.

"Wash it yourself! I'm tired!"

Su Lingyue ignored Xiao Yu and walked out of the cubicle angrily.
