Xie Xiang

It was not nearly noon, Xie Yi couldn't sleep.She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of her body against her back.Liu Zao's breathing was right next to her ear. It was not steady at first, but gradually became deep and regular as she fell asleep.

Xie Yi leaned back involuntarily, so that Liu Zao's chin was just on top of her head, and she could accommodate herself into the arms of the little emperor.

In winter, it is very comfortable to snuggle up in the quilt so close, thinking of the warmth and warmth. His Majesty's body is thin, but his arms are wide enough to accommodate her completely.Xie Yi bent the corners of her lips, turned over slightly, and faced Liu Zao face to face, seeing her flushed cheeks from the heat of her body, her smile subsided again.

After the little emperor fell asleep, she looked even more well-behaved. She had grown up, and the brilliance between her brows and eyes was more difficult to conceal than the previous two years, gradually revealing her feminine style.It's a pity that this child looks prudent, so she wears colorful and heavy clothes. If one day, she can be coaxed into wearing a gorgeous dress and wearing a beautiful bun, it will definitely be shocking and eye-catching.

It's just her body that really worries her.

Xie Yi gently stroked her eyebrows, but Liu Zao didn't notice anything.Xie Yi held her breath, put her lips on Liu Zao's lips, stopped, and then adjusted her breathing to be as fast as Liu Zao's.Xie Yi was clear and shallow, Liu Zao was running a fever, and her breath was hotter, just like her, sometimes she was persistent and scorching hot.As Xie Yi felt it, her heartbeat quickened bit by bit, her love was evident, and she had merged with her like breathing.

She felt satisfied, but also anxious because of her illness.But Xie Yi's anxiety was rarely expressed in words.

After a while, after confirming that Liu Zao was fast asleep, she placed a kiss on her forehead, then gently withdrew from her arms and walked out of the hall.

It was a gloomy sky outside the temple, and the snow had not yet fallen, but the wind kept blowing, and the chill was piercing.

Seeing her coming out, Hu Ao hurried forward and said, "Prime Minister."

Xie Yi instructed: "Your Majesty will definitely be hungry when he wakes up, so prepare some food and warm it up, it should be easy to swallow, and it will be easy to digest."

Hu Ao agreed.

Xie Yi looked at her.Her eyes were deep and majestic, and Hu Ao felt startled, and stood in front of her respectfully, waiting for her orders.

Xie Yi looked at him for a while, then smiled, and said in a gentle tone, "I ordered someone to buy a mansion for you, and she has already lived in it. You can go and have a look when you have time. We have also been separated for many years, so it must be because of wanting to see him." of."

Hu Ao was overjoyed at first, met the prime minister's eyes, saw the smile in her eyes, but was terrified, he sent the palace servant to His Majesty's bed, and His Majesty punished her, but the prime minister hadn't said a word about it.On the contrary, he was given a mansion and returned to him the person who had been detained for many years.

Hu Ao didn't like it but knelt down in fear, pleading guilty: "That matter was mishandled for a small matter, please forgive me."

No one was watching.Hu Ao knew that the emperor would not be able to control himself when he saw Prime Minister Xie, so he sent everyone away so as not to see anything that shouldn't be seen.I just wait here and take orders at any time.

Xie Yi said: "You are the emperor's man, how can I absolve you?"

Hu Ao was taken aback, not understanding what she meant, but Xie Yi turned around and went back to the hall.Hu Ao got up from the ground, and realized it for a while, before it dawned on him that Xie Xiang wanted him to concentrate on serving His Majesty instead of obeying her orders.

He was a little puzzled, looking at the current situation, Prime Minister Xie and His Majesty should have made a private appointment.This seems to have a happy ending, but in fact everything has just begun. Your Majesty is young, and Prime Minister Xie is 14 years behind her.Hu Ao has been in the palace for a long time, how can he not know that a woman's years are the most precious, is it possible that Xie Xiang is not afraid that after two years, she will no longer be beautiful, and His Majesty will empathize with others.She has returned everything, so what will be left?

Life is long, nothing can be said for sure.When Emperor Wu came to the throne, Empress Chen made great efforts. They were a young couple, and their love since childhood was a match made in heaven compared to Xie Xiang and His Majesty.But in the end, isn't it still Empress Chen who is lonely and old, and Emperor Wu chooses a new one, with countless concubines?

Hu Ao felt that the prime minister was rash, but he was very happy.He glanced at the gray sky and thought to himself, when the weather is better, he will go out of the palace.

Xie Yi returned to the palace, lay down next to Liu Zao again, snuggled into her arms as before, closed her eyes, and thought about something.What I think about the most is that His Majesty's body is really healthy.But she was in the palace, well-clothed and well-fed, and the medical officer also paid attention to recuperation, except that she looked better on weekdays, and she was still sick when she caught a cold.

Xie Yi was thinking about whether to summon all the medical officers to consult with His Majesty, Liu Zao moved.Xie Yi broke her thoughts and opened her eyes to look at her.She frowned, and suddenly became restless, as if she was experiencing a nightmare.

Xie Yi immediately got out of her arms, hugged her back, and patted her gently as a comfort.Liu Zao seemed to be comforted by her, and gradually calmed down, but within a moment, she became more turbulent, her body was tense, her breathing was short, her chest heaved and she was extremely disturbed.

Xie Yi hurriedly called her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

At the fifth sound, Liu Zao opened his eyes.She was a little slow, dazed for a while, and then remembered to look for the people around her, and when she saw that Xie Yi was still there, she immediately hugged her tightly.

Xie Yi's voice rang in her ears: "What did you dream about?"

Liu Zao didn't answer, but hugged her tightly, buried her head in her neck, and refused to let go.Xie Yi stopped asking, and said softly, "Don't be afraid." Liu Zao still remained silent, but his breath was obviously lighter.

Xie Yi smiled, touched the back of her neck, and said, "I'm here."

Liu Zao hugged her even tighter, but still refused to speak.

After a long time, she replied, "I dreamed of a copper lamp."

Xie Yi naturally still remembered what the copper lamp was, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.After Liu Zao finished speaking, he exhaled slightly, and his voice also lowered: "You are angry when you see the copper lamp, and you don't want me anymore."

Xie Yi felt distressed when she heard the word "don't want me", but she didn't want to encourage her unhealthy tendencies, and said, "It's true that you are rude."

Liu Zao muffled and said in a low voice, "I've put clothes on it."

Xie Yi said coldly, "You still have to argue."

Liu Zao didn't dare to say it anymore, she actually dreamed that Xie Xiang beat her.When she woke up, her face still hurt.The matter of the copper lamp exposed her mind, shattered her innocence, and made her completely hopeless.Whenever I think of it, the fear is still there. Adding that disgusting sentence, it is like a nightmare. I will think of it when I am sad, even more desperate, and I will think of it when I am happy. It seems that all happiness is fake.

Liu Zao really wanted to ask, do you have me in your heart.Xie Xiang had hurt her so resolutely, and hadn't reconciled for several years, why did he accept her again.But she didn't dare to ask, not because she was afraid that everything in front of her eyes would be false, once she asked, there would be nothing left, but these days, Mr. Xie is so gentle and considerate everywhere. If she asks again, Mr. Xie will have her in his heart , must feel sad.

"Do you find me annoying?" Liu Zao asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

Liu Zao said in a low voice: "I look forward and backward, but I can't be decisive. I said I wanted to see you as my aunt, but I never did it in my heart, and I pretended not to be like you. You always saw it. It seemed to be hypocritical and begging for your pity. .Now you want me, but I always think about the past, always afraid that you will still leave. The happier I am, the more empty I feel.”

As she spoke, she felt bored, and she felt that she was not worthy of thanking her.

"Are you putting on an air?" Xie Yi asked.

Liu Zao immediately shook his head and said discouragedly: "I'm not." But it showed that it was.

Xie Yi sighed slightly, and asked again: "Have you ever thought about letting go?"

Liu Zao was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Think about it, think about it many times, and try it many times."

Even though she knew that although she wanted to, but failed to do it, her heart still felt a twinge of pain.Xie Yi bit her lower lip: "I hurt you too much."

This time Liu Zao was not silent, and immediately said: "No. I want to let go, not because you reject me, but because you seem tired, worried, full of scruples, afraid of hurting me, afraid of unintentionally wishing me. Pay attention to propriety everywhere. You should have held your head high, whether you were ruling the court, or hiding from the world, you should be free and unrestrained. But because I am full of burdens."

Liu Zao said, twitching the corners of his lips, laughing at himself and blaming himself: "It's a pity I didn't do it."

"If we do, we won't be here today. You are not a burden, you have always been different from me." Xie Yi said, and promised her, "I won't leave, and I will be with you in this life. You think, I'm always by your side."

Her tone was very calm, but she opened her heart, confiding to Liu Zao.Liu Zao was immediately happy.

Seeing her smiling, Xie Yi couldn't help but also smiled, and she said again: "I don't blame you for the copper lamp, even though I was annoyed at the time, it disappeared soon after. If you still want it, you can make another one." lamp."

She said, thinking of the shape of the copper lamp, she was still shy after all, so she added: "Just don't be in front of me."

This sentence is not because of dislike, but simply because of embarrassment.Liu Zao heard it, and also learned by analogy that if it was really in front of Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie would not be angry. Most likely he would just blush and reproach him for being rude, and let her do the rest. .

Liu Zao was happy and coughed several times.

She was still sick, Xie Yi hurriedly stroked her back and touched her forehead.

Still hot.She calculated the time, and found that she had used the prescription for only two hours, and she had to wait a while before taking it again, so she said: "Your Majesty woke up and didn't eat, why don't you eat."

Liu Zao said, "Okay."

The food is prepared, it is a bowl of porridge, boiled thin, you can drink it directly, add a few pickled side dishes, it is easy to fill your stomach.Liu Zao was fed by Xie Yi, so naturally he used a lot until the bowl was almost empty, Fang shook his head and said, "I'm full."

Xie Yi didn't force it, put down the bowl, and asked her to feel better, fetched water by herself, wiped her hands and face, and made her lie down more comfortably.

Liu Zao looked at her busy for her, and combined her gentle and virtuous demeanor with her sharp and old-fashioned appearance in court, there was no contradiction at all, it was very appropriate, and Xie Xiang was like this.

When Xie Yi put away the towel and came back, she saw Liu Zao staring at her.Xie Yi was afraid that she would think wildly again, so he sat beside her and asked, "What is Your Majesty thinking?"

Liu Zao stared at her and asked earnestly, "Are you willing to be queen?"
