The first thing Li Chengqi did when she woke up was to ask, "Is Mr. Xie still there?"

Although the Ji family didn't know why Li Chengqi was so eager to punish Xie Mingyue yesterday, why she became so close today, but Li Chengqi looked good when she woke up, so she replied: "Master Xie is outside."

Before the words fell, Li Chengqi heard footsteps.

Ji received a signal from Li Chengqi, and bowed to retreat.

The smell of medicine became stronger as Xie Mingyue walked in.

Li Chengqi was originally smiling, but when she saw the dark ball in Xie Mingyue's hand, her expression collapsed.

"Xie Qing." Li Chengqi was almost aggrieved when she said this.

Xie Mingyue offered the medicine bowl and replied: "The minister is here."

Li Chengqi's eyes fell on the bowl of soup that was so black that it could rival Xie Mingyue's Xinyan, and then she decisively looked away.

"I don't want to drink." He flatly refused, looking up at Xie Mingyue who was lying beside the bed, showing a slight weakness in his expression.

In the past, no matter how bitter the medicine was, Li Chengqi could pinch her nose and pour it down, but maybe times have changed.

His personality has changed, and he doesn't know whether he is in a dream or in the past, so why not be willful?

Li Chengqi's reaction fell into Xie Mingyue's eyes, but it was no different from being on guard.

Xie Mingyue could understand the emperor's vigilance very well, if the two positions were reversed, he would probably be more vigilant than Li Chengqi.

Xie Mingyue lowered her head, scooped up a spoonful of the dark soup, said: "I offend you." Then she put the medicine into her mouth.

The soup was so bitter that it numbed his tongue when he put it in his mouth, but he swallowed it without changing his face.

Li Chengqi: "..."

In his opinion, Xie Mingyue should drink all of this bowl of medicine.

"Good medicine is bitter." Xie Mingyue persuaded him softly, "Come here, take another..."

Li Chengqi took it, and snatched the spoon as well.

Xie Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, seeing the emperor took the jade spoon she had used and scooped up the soup medicine and put it into her mouth, "Your Majesty, that's my minister,"

used!

If it weren't for Xie Mingyue's seriousness and calmness, her eyes would probably have popped out by now.

Is the emperor afraid that he will poison the utensils?

Apart from this reason, Xie Mingyue felt that nothing could explain Li Chengqi's behavior.

Li Chengqi raised her head, frowned and glanced at Xie Mingyue, as if she didn't understand why Xie Mingyue reminded him, "Have you used it?" Li Chengqi looked down at the spoon in her hand, "I know."

Xie Mingyue took a deep breath.

He even suspected that he was still in a dream and hadn't woken up at all.

The medicine was already bitter, and Li Chengqi drank it so that her mood became more and more uneasy. When she drank half of it, she simply swiped the spoon to the other side, raised her head and drank the medicine, and then put the medicine bowl in Xie Mingyue's hand, as if she was giving it to Xie Mingyue. Xie Mingyue saw that he drank it all.

Xie Mingyue took the bowl, and some palace servants came to take it away.

He turned around and poured tea for Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi lay on the bed, staring blankly at the top of her head.

The lingering smell of medicine in his mouth made him extremely uncomfortable, but fortunately Xie Mingyue brought him tea.

He drank a few sips, and he felt relieved.

Li Chengqi seemed to be casually saying: "Actually, Yuanxifang's candied fruit is very lonely."

Seeing Xie Mingyue staring at him blankly, Li Chengqi wanted to sigh and said, "So Xie Qing might as well bring some back to Gu before entering the palace next time."

It took Xie Mingyue a long time to recover her voice, "Yes, I understand."

Perhaps Li Chengqi is really in a good mood today.

Xie Mingyue was silent for a while, and said after deliberation: "If your majesty thinks the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician is too bitter, I can order you to prescribe a less bitter one."

He asked almost cautiously.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Mingyue who seemed a little worried.

Did Xie Mingyue say this to him before?

Of course he didn't agree.

Li Chengqi's gaze seemed to be silently refusing, Xie Mingyue paused, and continued calmly, "I'm taking the liberty, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Xie Mingyue's expression couldn't be more natural, as if she had anticipated the answer when she asked the question.

But he still asked.

Li Chengqi raised his eyebrows, "When did Gu say no more?" Facing Xie Mingyue's surprised eyes, he said, "I will change the prescription tomorrow, and," he lowered his voice, "Don't forget to buy candied fruit for Gu if you change it. .”

Satisfied, Xie Mingyue lowered her head in a rare panic, not daring to meet her gaze.

Apart from soreness in Li Chengqi's heart, there was also a little bit of subtle happiness.

After all, although Xie Mingyue coveted him at this time, she still strictly abided by the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, and did not dare to surpass it in the slightest.

Li Chengqi suddenly wanted to see how long Xie Mingyue could endure.

"You were here last night?" He asked, and patted the side beside him, letting Xie Mingyue sit down.

Xie Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but sat next to Li Chengqi.

So the emperor laughed, and the red mole was immediately revealed, which was particularly gorgeous and eye-catching on his pale face.

"Yes."

Li Chengqi nodded her eyebrows, "National affairs are heavy, and my body is weak under my lonely eyes. Many things cannot be separated from you."

He said it casually, as if it was a trivial matter.

Xie Mingyue was almost stunned by the words "inseparable from you".

For a moment, Xie Mingyue even wondered if she was about to die, otherwise, why did Li Zhao treat him so intimately and naturally?

"I dare not," Xie Mingyue said immediately, although her face was silent, her heart was beating wildly, "It is my duty to share your majesty's worries."

"It's not convenient for you to travel between the palace and the palace," the emperor mused, "It's better to stay in...in the side hall during the time when you are alone and sick."

Silence answered him.

Li Chengqi nodded in satisfaction, "If you don't refuse, I'll take it as your acquiescence, come here, go..."

"Your Majesty!"

This was the first time Li Chengqi heard Xie Mingyue talking to him so anxiously.

Li Chengqi rolled her eyes and asked narrowly, "Why not?"

He saw that Xie Mingyue's plain earlobe was dyed red, as if covered with a layer of rouge, Xie Mingyue also realized that she had lost her composure, stood up and apologized: "The minister has lost his manner."

Li Chengqi hooked a corner of Xie Mingyue's sleeve with her fingers, gently tugged, and signaled him to sit down, "Xie Qing, I don't want you to plead guilty, I only want you to answer, why not."

"Because," Xie Mingyue bit the tip of her tongue, the pain made him sober up a lot, "Changle Palace is His Majesty's bedroom, and the minister lives here, which is not in line with the regulations."

The emperor's bedroom, not to mention foreign ministers, even the queen can't live in it for a long time!

Even though Xie Mingyue fantasized that there was no estrangement between the monarch and his ministers, what happened today, he dared not even dream like this.

Li Chengqi nodded, "Qing is right." Before Xie Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "Weiyang Palace is not far from Gu, but it is empty all the year round, and it will take some time to sweep it up." Li Chengqi He hummed suspiciously, "What's the matter with you, Xie Qing, can't Weiyang Palace?"

Xie Mingyue was speechless.

If he remembers correctly, if he really remembers correctly, Weiyang Palace is the queen's bedroom.

Xie Mingyue suddenly stood up and bowed down, saying: "Your Majesty is very kind, and I am very grateful, but I have no merit. Your Majesty has violated the rules before, and I dare not accept it."

Li Chengqi turned her head to look at him.

Xie Mingyue thinks that she is too kind to him?

Li Chengqi couldn't help laughing, and there were a few weak coughs in his laughter, Xie Mingyue couldn't help but look up, "It's not because of Enze, you can only be more troubled by Gu's side, if Xie Qing insists on refusing, then I just want to sneak away and don't want to worry about the country."

What Li Chengqi said was reasonable and well-founded, Xie Mingyue opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.

"Get up." Li Chengqi said: "The ground is not clean."

Xie Mingyue got up silently, patted the non-existent ups and downs on her body.

Li Chengqi reached out to Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue understood and supported him, but Li Chengqi grabbed his wrist and got up.

"Dining with Gu." Li Chengqi seemed in a good mood.

In the morning, the two monarchs and ministers had breakfast together without a word, and then read the memorial documents together. By the way, they ordered Xie's servants to clean up and send some Xie Mingyue's usual things into the palace.

Although Li Chengqi felt that Xie Mingyue could get all of Xie Mingyue's application from the treasury in the palace, including regular and official uniforms.

But Li Chengqi really didn't want Xie Mingyue to kneel down for him again to show the deep affection between the two of them, so she gave up.

The relationship between him and Xie Mingyue has become so rigid at this moment.Even Li Chengqi herself was surprised.

Xie Mingyue hesitated to speak when she heard Li Chengqi's order.

In the afternoon, Li Chengqi put on a cloak and asked Xie Mingyue to accompany him for a walk.

Xie Mingyue had been standing behind him, no matter how much Li Chengqi tried to persuade him, she would not come over.

The emperor turned his head, glanced at Xie Mingyue who had been keeping two steps away from him, and turned back again.

Taking a deep breath, the cold air poured into her throat. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it made Li Chengqi cough so hard she couldn't breathe.

He heard the sound of stepping on the snow behind him, and as expected, he was supported in the next second.

Li Chengqi coughed so that her face was flushed, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. She was obviously weak and sick, but she couldn't help but catch her breath.

He couldn't stand still, so he tightly grasped Xie Mingyue's wrist, half leaning against Xie Mingyue's arms.

As soon as he leaned over, Xie Mingyue's body became so stiff that Li Chengqi could feel it.

Xie Mingyue hesitated for a moment, stretched out her free hand to comfort Li Chengqi, and only put it down when Li Chengqi stopped coughing.

"Go back." Li Chengqi coughed a little hoarsely.

Xie Mingyue supported his hand, not knowing whether to loosen it or let it go, she paused, and then supported Li Chengqi, walking side by side with him.

Li Chengqi coughed lightly and tilted her head slightly.

So he hid a smile from the corner of his lips.

Before nightfall, he was coaxed to drink medicine again.

Maybe it was because of illness, Xie Mingyue felt that Li Chengqi was much more delicate than before.

However, Li Chengqi felt that she was extremely restrained for fear of scaring Xie Mingyue, and he didn't even ask Xie Mingyue to hug him and kiss him!

When Xie Mingyue changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed, she still felt that this day was like a dream.

It is said that it is a side hall, but in fact it is only separated from the inner hall by a wall, and there is no door, so you can go around directly.

I couldn't sleep in another place, let alone this is Changle Palace.

Xie Mingyue took a deep breath, only to feel that her fingertips were still slightly numb.

What happened?

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, Xie Mingyue stood up abruptly, just in time to meet the eyes of the person who was walking over.

"His Majesty?"

Li Chengqi came over wearing plain pajamas. The emperor was tall and slender, but his waist was loosely tied by the belt, which outlined a very thin and delicate line. Xie Mingyue suddenly looked down at On the ground, what you can see is Li Chengqi's bare ankle, which is faintly visible under the swaying pajamas, which is actually whiter than the robe.

He came here without shoes on!

Xie Mingyue didn't care about any monarchs and ministers at this time, she couldn't bear to get out of bed and walked over quickly.

Li Chengqi blinked, but before she could tell the reason she had found, Xie Mingyue hugged her by the waist.

"Your Majesty," Xie Mingyue said through gritted teeth, "I offended you."

This is not the first time Xie Mingyue has hugged him.

But really sane for the first time.

Li Chengqi was so sick that she didn't feel too thin when she put on the gown, and when she took off the big and majestic emperor's clothes, she was surprised that this person was so light.

Because of neglect of exercise, his waist is very weak.

Xie Mingyue regretted it the first moment she went up the ring, but she couldn't put her hands in the right place, so she could only maintain this position.

He could only be awake, and the side hall was not very quiet.

Otherwise, the emperor could hear his increasingly rough breathing.

The emperor thought about whether he should scold him presumptuously.

If you are an old couple, you don't have to have this kind of interest.

He took advantage of the situation and leaned back, making himself more comfortable being hugged.

He could clearly feel the bulging muscles on Xie Mingyue's arm, and he was imprisoned in it like a cage, unable to escape.

Nor did he want to escape.

Xie Mingyue was afraid that he would be cold, so she could only hug him to her bed first.

As soon as he touched the mattress, he was covered by a quilt from top to bottom.

"Your Majesty." Xie Mingyue's voice was full of warning, and he said blankly: "Your illness is still not cured, but you are dressed in such thin clothes, and the wind will easily aggravate your condition."

Xie Mingyue heard what she said was high-sounding.

In fact, he was so confused that he could only use this method to divert his attention.

Li Chengqi sat with her long hair loose and wrapped like a rice dumpling. Hearing Xie Mingyue's words, she didn't think she was disobedient. She shook her head and said softly, "I'm wrong. I've come to see Xie Qing for something."

Xie Mingyue tried her best to calm herself down, her gaze fell to a low place, and she did not look at Li Chengqi, "Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Li Chengqi stretched out her hand from under the quilt with difficulty, took out the memorial, and rubbed against Xie Mingyue, "I'm a little suspicious about this, Xie Qing will also read it."

Xie Mingyue suddenly let go of most of her hanging heart, she couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or relieved, and said: "Yes."

It was supposed to rest, but there were not many lights left in the side hall, and it was extremely dark.

Xie Mingyue couldn't see clearly, so she could only move closer.

Li Chengqi's pale fingers were holding the memorial for him to see. The fingers were slender and looked a little lonely, as if they were so weak that they couldn't even resist, and it seemed that they could confine him whole by stretching out their hands.

Li Chengqi's face is close at hand.

As it got closer, Xie Mingyue could even smell the smell of medicine on Li Chengqi's body and the ambergris left over from the lavender.
