An Ning’s eyes kept looking at Xiao Jinxing.
Under the moonlight, the man was truly unbelievably handso.
Every feature of his seed ticulously carved, perfectly aligning with her aesthetic sense.
An Ning suddenly smiled.
Feeling that these thoughts were sowhat unnecessary right now.
She was currently discussing "serious matters" with Xiao Jinxing!
An Ning didn’t wait for Xiao Jinxing to respond.
She said again, "I’ll take your silence as consent."
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple moved.
Inexplicably sexy.
An Ning couldn’t help but reach out to touch Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple.
As she touched it, she seed to hear the sound of Xiao Jinxing swallowing.
"Do you..." An Ning asked him, "feel anything?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Jinxing retorted.
She didn’t want to say.
She just wanted... to act.
An Ning proactively kissed Xiao Jinxing.
Even Eunuch Ping blushed.
He hadn’t expected the Empress to be this bold; usually, he thought she wouldn’t please the Emperor.
He hurriedly signaled everyone to withdraw.
The rare moonlit night, and with the battle tomorrow, naturally, the Emperor and Empress would want to indulge in so affection.
"Xiao Jinxing..." An Ning hugged Xiao Jinxing’s neck.
Xiao Jinxing looked at her intently.
"Forget about it after tonight..."
The response she got wasn’t a yes.
Nor was it a no.
Because he knew very well.
An Ning was just using this way to compensate for her remorse.
Just wanting to ease her conscience and leave rightfully.
And he didn’t refuse, not because he was driven by lust.
But to let her leave truly with peace of mind.
...
The next day.
When An Ning woke up.
Xiao Jinxing was already dressing.
Through the screen, she watched a tall and upright figure, just pacing before her eyes.
"Awake?" The quiet space.
Xiao Jinxing’s voice suddenly sounded.
Clearly, she hadn’t made any noise; how did he know she was awake?
"Mm."
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
Not stepping into the screen.
Still letting Eunuch Ping attend to his dressing, not delaying ti.
"No pain."
"Then get ready to hit the road," Xiao Jinxing said indifferently.
Last night seed to indeed just be a dream.
When the dream ended, everything disappeared.
She said, "Alright."
Xiao Jinxing seed to have finished dressing and left first.
An Ning was then attended to by palace attendants for dressing and washing.
When the ti ca, she followed by Xiao Jinxing’s side, to receive the court officials’ obeisance.
Then, depart.
Finally finished with all the procedures.
An Ning sat inside the carriage.
Couldn’t help but fall into a slumber.
Said it didn’t hurt.
But eventually, it was tiring indeed.
The night was too long.
She just sat in the carriage, and drowsily fell asleep.
Not knowing how long she slept.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Jinxing’s face up close.
His striking handsoness suddenly caused her heart to flutter a bit.
"Awake?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Where are we?" An Ning shifted her body slightly.
Xiao Jinxing released her.
Evidently intending to carry her out of the carriage.
But clearly, at that mont, he sensed An Ning’s reluctance.
After last night’s compensation, there were no further ties, huh?!
Xiao Jinxing replied calmly, "A post station, resting for now, and leaving tomorrow."
"Oh," An Ning nodded.
Xiao Jinxing got off the carriage first.
An Ning followed him out.
Upon stepping off, she realized it was nearly dark.
She actually slept the whole day.
Truly didn’t sleep well last night.
But what about Xiao Jinxing?!
She looked up at Xiao Jinxing walking ahead, wearing armor, every bit the imposing figure...
Isn’t he tired at all?!
The group walked into the post station.
An Ning’s room.
A palace maid accompanied her.
"Your Highness, are you hungry?" The palace maid asked respectfully, "You haven’t eaten all day in the carriage."
"I am hungry," An Ning answered, "Why didn’t you wake up?"
"At noon, I intended to wake Your Highness, but His Majesty didn’t allow it, saying you were exhausted last night and should sleep a little longer," the palace maid reported.
An Ning pursed her lips.
Inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed.
"I will prepare dinner for Your Highness," the maid stated.
An Ning acknowledged with a nod.
The maid left.
Soon, the al was brought in.
An Ning ate quite a lot.
After eating, she moved slightly.
Having slept a whole day, even though the rest wasn’t particularly comfortable, she nevertheless wasn’t sleepy anymore.
She said, "I’m going for a walk outside."
"I’ll accompany you."
"No need. It’s rare to leave the palace; I want to stroll alone. Don’t follow."
"But Your Highness, this post station is remote, there’s nothing to see..."
An Ning’s look alone.
The palace maid dared not speak further.
An Ning left the room.
Amidst all eyes, she walked out of the post station, heading alone towards the outskirts.
Inside a room at the post station.
Xiao Jinxing was having a al.
Song Yanqing was accompanying him.
Little Wu received news, stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress left the post station alone, not allowing guards to follow."
"Let her be."
"...Yes," Little Wu was surprised, yet remained respectful.
Wondering, in the deep night, aren’t they worried sothing might happen to the Empress?!
Song Yanqing’s eyes observed the Emperor, unable to resist saying, "Your Majesty, do you not have an appetite?"
Xiao Jinxing ate little.
Ate slowly.
"Too tired, affecting my appetite."
"Was Your Majesty... up late last night?" Song Yanqing conjectured.
Xiao Jinxing looked up at Song Yanqing.
Song Yanqing lowered his gaze, "I have been through this."
The day Xie Ruotong left... he too was reluctant.
Thus couldn’t help indulging.
Such is human nature.
"And for now, there’s no danger on this journey, it’s alright for Your Majesty to indulge sowhat."
"I feel sleepy," Xiao Jinxing suddenly put down his chopsticks.
Song Yanqing was taken aback.
Had he said sothing wrong?!
The Emperor and Empress’s intimacy, shouldn’t it an their relationship was better?!
"I’m going to rest."
"Isn’t the Empress out for a walk?" Song Yanqing couldn’t help but ask.
The Emperor didn’t want to deepen their relationship?!
Xiao Jinxing gave no response, leaving directly.
Song Yanqing frowned.
How could the Emperor be like this to the Empress?!
Slept and then ignored responsibility!
...
Outskirts.
In the darkness.
An Ning was at a concealed corner.
Slowly, she heard footsteps.
Then, a man appeared before her, respectfully saying, "Miss."
"Uncle Zhang, are you well?" An Ning smiled slightly.
"Thank Miss for your concern, all is well."
"Where is Qing Yan?" An Ning asked.
When leaving the Imperial Palace, Zhang Wenhe naturally left with Qing Yan.
"I intended to part ways with her after leaving the palace, but to my surprise..." Zhang Wenhe’s words were evidently bashful.
An Ning directly helped him complete the sentence, "She clung on desperately, insisting on giving herself to you."
