Chao Qinglan left not long ago.
Xiao Yan glanced and smiled for a long time, and said softly, "Silly, haha."
Li Shu-yi asked without understanding, "Your Majesty, what's happening?"
Xiao Yan quickly replied, "It's nothing."
Xiao Yan showed a hint of a smile in the conversation with Li Shu-yi, but also concealed deep helplessness and complex emotions.
He was clear that the love, hatred, and complex relationships in the harem, as well as the heavy responsibilities of the throne, were the realities he had to face. And his choice of Li Shu-yi was not only because of her talent and character, but more importantly, he saw that Li Shu-yi could understand his feelings for the queen.
On such a night, Xiao Yan and Li Shu-yi intertwined in the carefully arranged bridal chamber by the palace maids, their figures flickering in the candlelight.
However, Xiao Yan knew in his heart that behind all this, there were still more responsibilities and considerations. After the bridal chamber, he gently got up and took out a small delicate porcelain bottle. As soon as he opened the lid, a faint fragrance wafted out. This was a precious spice called "Sleeping Pillow Powder," which could help people sleep peacefully and forget their worries.
Xiao Yan gently sprinkled some sleep powder in the room. Soon, the air was filled with a tranquil fragrance.
He turned to look at Li Shu-yi, only to see her slowly closing her eyes under the attack of the fragrance, breathing steadily, as if she had already entered the sweet dreamland.
Under the bright moonlight, the tranquility of the palace seems to be shrouded in a thin mist, with every palace and corridor immersed in the quiet of the night. Xiao Yan gently closed the door to the room he shared with Li Shu-yi, his figure stretching long in the corridor, much like his current feelings, both nervous and expectant.
Xiao Yan moved quickly and cautiously, as if each step left a deep mark in his heart. He knew that the decision he made tonight could change everything between him and Chao Qinglan. The moonlight, like water, filtered through the gentle clouds, shining on his face, making his features appear more profound and reflecting the struggle and determination in his heart.
He arrived at Chao Qinglan's sleeping quarters, took a deep breath, and gently pushed open the door. Inside, the candlelight flickered, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere in sharp contrast to the moonlight outside.
Chao Qinglan was half lying on the bed, holding a book in her hand. Her face appeared particularly gentle in the candlelight, and her long hair cascaded like a waterfall by the pillow. Her beauty required little adornment, enough to intoxicate people.
The appearance of Xiao Yan made her slightly stunned. She did not expect that on such a night, Xiao Yan would come to her sleeping quarters.
"Your Majesty, why have you come here..." Chao Qinglan's voice was gentle, tinged with uncertainty.
Xiao Yan approached, taking off his outer garment as he walked, revealing the plain clothes underneath. His movements seemed particularly cautious, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility before him.
" Qinglan, I came because... I wanted to talk to you." Xiao Yan's voice was low, with a hint of unprecedented weakness.
Chao Qinglan set down the book in her hand and sat up, her eyes filled with concern and puzzlement. She gently patted the edge of the bed, gesturing for Xiao Yan to sit down.
Xiao Yan sat on the edge of the bed, his hands tightly clasped together, his eyes filled with struggle and determination. He took a deep breath and began to speak about his inner struggle and decision.
" Qinglan, these days, I have been thinking, thinking about our relationship, thinking about the future path. I know that my involvement with Li Shu-yi has been a great blow to you. But I want you to know that my heart has not changed. In my heart, you are still the brave, intelligent, understanding Qinglan. Li Shu-yi's identity, her child, are all for the needs of the court and the country, but that does not mean that your place in my heart has changed in any way."
Chao Qinglan listened to Xiao Yan's words, her eyes shimmering with complex emotions. Her feelings were tangled and deep, containing both the warmth of being understood and cherished, as well as the inescapable reality and helplessness.
"Your Majesty, I..." Chao Qinglan lightly parted her red lips, but found that words could not express her current feelings.
Xiao Yan reached out and gently held her hand, his eyes firm and affectionate. " Qinglan, I know that all of this has been very difficult for you. But I hope that whatever happens in the future, we can face it together. I don't want the complexities of court and country to come between the truest feelings we have for each other."
Chao Qinglan was deeply moved, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yan, but there was also an unprecedented determination in her gaze. "Your Majesty, I understand. No matter what the future holds, I will face it with you. Because I believe that the love between us is stronger than any difficulty in this world."
Afterwards, Xiao Yan lay down on the bed and took off the plain clothes.
Xiao Yanjing Quietly lying on the bed, moonlight shines through the curtains onto his body, reflecting his dignified face and strong physique. He slowly closes his eyes, feeling the tranquility of the night, yet his heart is filled with complex emotions and anticipation.
Chao Qinglan Suddenly feeling afraid, she realizes the importance of this moment and is deeply aware of her situation. She struggles to suppress the fear in her heart and firmly walks towards the dressing table, reaching for the face powder.
Xiao Yan His eyes narrowed, and he turned to pull her back, his face showing a hint of helplessness and determination. He stopped speaking and instead gently kissed her lips, tender and passionate, as if wanting to melt all his emotions into this kiss.
Chao Qinglan Moved by his kiss, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of tenderness and reassurance. However, she still resisted, wanting to struggle again to express her worries and unease.
Xiao Yan felt her struggle and was filled with helplessness. He had to stop her hands and pull her onto the bed, a hint of humor and teasing flashing in his eyes.
"Which fool just tried to peek at me and Li Shu-yi?" Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of jest, yet was full of tenderness and understanding.
Chao Qinglan listened to his words and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as she lowered her head. She hadn't expected Xiao Yan to already know everything, yet he still chose to tolerate and accept it.
"Your Majesty, so you knew all along, but still allowed this servant to take the poison first, and deal with the consequences later," Chao Qinglan spoke with a hint of unease and determination, hoping that Xiao Yan could understand her situation and feelings, and give her some time and space.
Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of heaviness and impatience, and a trace of helplessness and urgency flashed in his eyes. He had endured for a long time, but his heart could no longer bear it.
"You can't decide this, Qinglan. I have endured you for a long time. We have already given birth to three daughters, and we are both over forty. How much longer do you want me to wait?" Xiao Yan's voice was filled with helplessness and urgency. His emotions were difficult to calm, and he needed an answer, an answer that would put his heart at ease.
Chao Qinglan After listening, she was a bit speechless and unable to refute. She understood Xiao Yan's anxiety and unease, but she also understood her own situation and feelings.
